It stands to reason that in such a mountainous area, it would be difficult to ride a horse on the mountain road, let alone drive a carriage? Who would drive a carriage in such a situation?
Either they have special hobbies or they have shady secrets that must be hidden in the carriage.
Inexplicably, the carriage that passed by that day popped up in his mind again, and Zhuo Mufeng couldn't get rid of the irritability in his heart. He looked around, thinking that this area was not the possible hiding place of the strange mandarin couple according to the intelligence.
?
Judging from the direction of the extension of the track seal, it happened to be south of the place where the heroes were stationed. Therefore, Zhuo Mufeng was faced with a dilemma. Should he continue to look for Wu Guanting, or pursue it along the way?
Sometimes a moment's difference can lead to lifelong regrets. That's why Zhuo Mufeng was so anxious to find Wu Guanting, hoping to mobilize more manpower and power.
Judging from the situation reported by Tianzhao, there should be no suspicions about the strange mandarin couple. If time was wasted and other clues were missed because of tracking them, wouldn't it mean that Wu Yuanyuan was harmed in disguise?
Thinking of this, Zhuo Mufeng decided to act according to the original plan and continue to look for Wu Guanting, then flew in the original direction and ignored the traces here.
But after about a moment, Zhuo Mufeng came back. I don't know why, but he was in a irritable mood for no reason, as if he had overlooked something and something bad was about to happen.
The further away he gets from here, the stronger this impatience becomes.
Taking a few deep breaths, closing his eyes, Zhuo Mufeng told himself to calm down. His tempered nerves allowed him to forcibly separate himself from this emotion, and analyze from a neutral perspective where the impatience came from.
In his mind, the scene of the carriage passing by reappeared again, and it seemed that he was particularly impressed by that scene.
Many times, people tend to ignore the influence and energy of the subconscious mind. Before you know it, it has already engraved something into your heart.
Now Zhuo Mufeng is convinced that the irritability in his heart must be related to that carriage, but why is this happening? Did he overlook something?
He breathed hard to bring himself into a state of emptiness, and the scenes of streets and pedestrians were outlined in his mind, as if he had returned to that day again.
He was walking slowly, and a carriage passed by. He turned his head and saw that the couple driving the carriage were simply dressed in simple clothes, with a simple and honest smile unique to country people. At this moment, Zhuo Mufeng felt an inexplicable feeling of disgust.
The carriage was very ordinary, and there was nothing strange about it. Even if it was a strange mandarin couple, through the investigation of various informants, they had already learned that there was only the couple's only son in the carriage, and there was nothing suspicious about it.
No, there must be something wrong. What is the problem?
Carriage, couple, only son, rut...
Zhuo Mufeng relied on his photographic memory to recall the scene over and over again, deconstructing parts of the carriage bit by bit to compare with the information obtained by Tianzhao. He seemed to be in a daze, and did not let go of any detail.
I passed by and thought hard about it.
When the memory was aimed at the curtain of the car window from bottom to top, it was like a thunderbolt from the sky crashing down on top of his head, causing Zhuo Mufeng's whole brain to explode. His closed eyes suddenly opened wide and shot out.
The actual light of a sharp sword.
Yes, it was a curtain! He finally understood the problem, and it was on the curtain on the right he saw.
According to Sky Claw's investigation and the intelligence obtained by Sky Claw's traitors in each faction, when each faction discovered the couple's only son in the car, there were two situations.
One is that the only son got out of the car and opened the curtain in front of the carriage, allowing various spies to peek into the car. The other is that the car curtain was blown up by the wind, and someone saw the young man inside.
.
But at this moment, Zhuo Mufeng realized something very strange. When the second situation occurred, the informants of all factions would all observe it from the left side of the carriage.
Maybe it was a coincidence, but it was too much of a coincidence. At that time, Zhuo Mufeng observed that the curtain on the right side of the car collapsed tightly against the window.
It stands to reason that when the carriage moves forward, the curtain cloth should be bumping and shaking. There is only one explanation for why the tight situation occurred. At that time, something got stuck next to the right window in the car.
.
But——the information from each faction did not explain this situation.
Maybe the strange mandarin couple took something down on the way, but what kind of thing could it be, and what kind of thing would be put in the car and meet the above conditions? Why is the only son always sitting on the far left during the long distance?
Is it a habit?
All these unreasonable things seem to be explainable, but in fact they are all paradoxical!
In particular, Zhuo Mufeng thought that more than ten years ago, the strange mandarin couple traveled around the world and rarely drove a carriage. Even if they brought their son out, would they need to drive into such deep mountains and old forests?
There must be something wrong!
Zhuo Mufeng narrowed his eyes, looked back at the direction he was going to, remained silent for a moment, then looked down at the track, weighing his efforts for a long time.
The other two groups of people were worthy of suspicion. However, Zhuo Mufeng knew that to a large extent, that suspicion was just his own delusion and unwillingness to cause trouble.
Now that he has clearly discovered the huge suspicion of the third group of people, should he give up his personal search in order to take the overall situation into consideration?
Even if he found Wu Guanting and used a suitable excuse to mobilize manpower, he would still rush here first even if he knew that the strange man and his wife were suspicious.
Since the choices are all the same, why bother? And maybe more people may alert the target, which is not conducive to finding the truth.
After thinking about it, Zhuo Mufeng couldn't suppress the restlessness after all, and finally made a decision to follow the rut marks!
After making the decision, he relaxed and became more focused than ever before, observing and searching all the way.
The rut marks were already relatively obvious, and the driver did not hide them deliberately, and a master like Zhuo Mufeng was involved. The result was predictable. In less than a quarter of an hour, the clues became clearer and clearer, and Zhuo Mufeng's flyby
The speed is getting faster and faster.
When he found another pile of horse shit and was sure that it would not be long, Zhuo Mufeng knew that he was approaching the target, so he couldn't help but become more cautious and did not dare to make any sound.
The strange mandarin couple is a master of the Star Ranking. If there is any slight disturbance, they may alert the enemy.
After looking for a high ground, I found a large canopy tree growing there. Zhuo Mufeng quietly jumped onto the tree trunk and looked into the distance. He immediately saw a bonfire rising in the distance. There was a man beside the bonfire, but there was no carriage.
.
Zhuo Mufeng became suspicious, and after patiently observing for a long time, he finally judged from some branch branches on both sides that they should have been formed by being run over by the wheels of a carriage.
In other words, someone drove the carriage to somewhere else.
There was nothing to hesitate. Zhuo Mufeng immediately jumped down from the big tree, went around a large circle, and came to a few hundred meters in front of the man. He carefully searched for traces. After spending a lot of time walking on thin ice, he finally found the clue.
Gently sweep forward, wait until you are far enough, and then rush out with all your strength.
Soon, a sloping mountain wall appeared in front of him, and the carriage was indeed parked below. Looking up, Zhuo Mufeng saw a man standing outside the cave, seemingly waiting for something.
At this time, the sky was already a little dark, and there was still a ray of sunset, which made the fire light in the cave particularly conspicuous. From Zhuo Mufeng's perspective, he could easily see it clearly.
What is the other person waiting for?
Now is not the time to think too much. At the critical moment, Zhuo Mufeng showed superhuman qualities. Instead of staying where he was and continuing to observe, he made another big detour.
This time, because the distance was far enough, he didn't have to worry about being discovered. With all his strength, the wind roared loudly in his ears, and he quickly rushed to the mountain wall from the other side. He made another detour, taking advantage of the mountain wall.
With ups and downs, he slowed down slightly and quietly approached the cave beside the sixth horizontal stone, only about ten meters away. He used a huge stone to hide his whereabouts.
At this time, Zhuo Mufeng saw clearly that the man was a round-faced boy, rubbing his hands with excitement.
Gong Xian was naturally very excited. He deliberately did not follow his mother into the cave. He just wanted to wait for his mother to come out and finally went in by himself, creating a feeling of entering the bridal chamber.
During the short but anxious wait, Zhang Ru walked out with a smile like a victorious hen.
"Mom, you didn't hurt Yuanyuan, did you?" Gong Xian asked worriedly.
As soon as the word "Yuanyuan" was spoken, Zhuo Mufeng's face changed instantly behind the big rock, and his eyes showed an indescribable look of surprise. Fortunately, he had strong enough control, otherwise his rapid breathing would have betrayed his position.
Zhang Ru tapped Gong Xian's forehead with her finger and snorted coldly: "You've been caring about that little bitch all day long. I think you've almost forgotten about your mother."
Gong Xian quickly flattered her: "How could it be? You will always be my best mother, but Yuanyuan is my wife. I can't just ignore her."
What, Wu Yuanyuan became this guy’s wife?
Zhuo Mufeng's heart suddenly felt as if he had knocked over the five-flavor bottle, and his hands and feet were sore. However, he soon discovered the suspicion. Even if Wu Yuanyuan fell in love with someone else, he would not hide his traces unless there was something hidden inside.
Invisibly, the look in this guy's eyes had changed. Regardless of whether Wu Yuanyuan took the initiative or was forced to do so, Gong Xian was already dead in his eyes.
Yes, Shaoxia Zhuo is so cruel!
"Okay, please save the words for later. Mom knows you are in a hurry, so go in quickly! But remember, you must not be soft-hearted. Only by conquering that kind of woman will she accept her fate obediently."
While Zhang Ru urged his son, he did not forget to teach him by words and deeds, reminding him not to be kind to women.
Gong Xian nodded excitedly, but he could no longer hear clearly what his mother was saying. He walked lightly into the cave, taking every step slowly, as if he wanted to fully enjoy the process.
By this time, Zhuo Mufeng had determined that the middle-aged woman standing at the entrance of the cave was Zhang Ru. Seeing that the woman did not move a step, he was secretly anxious. Could this woman be so weird that she would stand at the entrance of the cave to guard the door for her son?
Fortunately, only a moment later, although Zhang Ru was overbearing, he was not so aggressive as to listen to the private affairs between his son and the woman, so he flew down with a smile, apparently preparing to sit in the carriage and wait.
The entrance to the cave is a hundred meters away from the foot of the mountain, so if you're careful, you won't be discovered.
Zhuo Mufeng gathered his energy, and waited until Zhang Ru landed at the foot of the mountain with his back facing him. Like a cheetah, this guy seized the fleeting opportunity and used his lightning pursuit to the extreme. He ran away at high speed and covertly.
Down, more than ten meters away, it took only half a blink of an eye to rush into the hole.
Zhang Ru frowned, as if he heard something, and turned around suddenly, but when he looked around again, he saw the silent mountains, no one, only birds flying by.
Could it be that I am overthinking it? That’s right, with such a little time, no one will do anything.
Zhang Ru smiled, jumped onto the carriage, and rested against the side door of the carriage. Her son would probably be busy until midnight, so she, a mother, had to stay outside for him.
