In the passage, Chu Feng walked quickly, his consciousness even more relaxed and constantly exploring.
The strange thing is that the originally dense and dense passages extending in all directions have disappeared, and it has once again changed to its original simple appearance.
He did not leave immediately, but returned to the depths of the passage. What surprised him was that the boundless sea of blood that originally filled the ground also completely disappeared, and the aura of those unknown existences disappeared. Now, this place has completely changed
It became an ordinary crypt, nothing different.
After a while, Chu Feng had returned to the ground. Likewise, the miasma and death that had filled the entire valley had also completely disappeared.
"Interesting, is it possible that this is all just an illusion?"
Walking in the valley, Chu Feng thought to himself, but he couldn't figure out the truth for a while. However, one thing he was sure of was that this was definitely not an illusion, and the little white tiger in his arms was the ironclad proof.
However, those monsters were hit by the golden light in Xiaobai's eyes before and seemed to be seriously injured. Is it possible that they have escaped now?
"I've met Mr. Chu."
Walking to the mouth of the valley, a familiar voice came, it was Lin Letian. However, he was the only one here, and there were no other figures.
Chu Feng's heart moved. He had been wasted in the crypt for a long time. He was afraid that those people had left early according to his instructions.
"You've been waiting here, have you noticed anything unusual before?"
"Abnormal?" Lin Letian was stunned, full of confusion. He had been staying here and didn't feel anything was wrong.
"By the way, Mr. Chu, I feel that the extremely depressing feeling nearby has disappeared inexplicably. Is this the abnormality you are referring to?"
Chu Feng thought for a while, and it was probably because of the departure of those monsters that the other party felt such a sense of relief. In addition, with the other party's ability, he probably wouldn't be able to find anything.
"That's right." Chu Feng did not explain, but instead said,
"There is no danger here anymore, we will go down the mountain immediately."
"That underground cave?" Lin Letian felt happy and suddenly asked again.
"It is now an ordinary crypt, and your Linjiazhai can feel at ease in the future."
"That's good, that's good..."
Hearing such an answer, Lin Letian suddenly felt relieved and his expression became relaxed.
…
"You're back. Hey, what a cute little tiger. Can you let me hug you?"
In the camp at the foot of the mountain, as soon as he entered the tent, Ai Nian came up to him with a smile. However, his beautiful eyes were all fixed on the little white tiger in his arms, his expression full of expectation.
"roar--"
The little white tiger woke up instantly, but showed great repulsion. He bared his teeth and roared, and his golden tiger eyes were even more cold. It was obvious that he was unwilling to get close to the other person.
Chu Feng looked slightly surprised. He didn't expect that the little guy had such a bad temper and wouldn't give him any face. Unfortunately, he was so 'petite' that he didn't show any deterrent effect.
"It doesn't even like me!"
Ai Nian seemed extremely sad, but one of his palms had already been stretched out, wanting to touch it gently.
Seeing the opponent's actions, the little white tiger remained the same as before, baring its teeth and roaring again, and opened its sharp tiger claws, looking like it was ready to attack at any time.
"You have quite a bad temper." Chu Feng chuckled, stretched out his hand and stroked the back of the other person's head gently, and then said,
"It may be because it is unfamiliar, so don't stimulate it yet."
"That... okay then." Ai Nian sighed softly, with an inexplicable look of pity in his eyes.
"Where are Qingyue and the others?" Chu Feng walked to the seat and asked after sitting down. The two sisters were not seen since they came in.
"Mrs. Wei personally made some snacks and asked them to come and get them." Ai Nian knelt down and poured the tea in naturally. Suddenly, he asked as if unintentionally,
"Did you find this little white tiger from Shadowwind Valley?"
"That's right." Chu Feng smiled and put the little white tiger aside.
"This time is very dangerous. If it were not for its rescue, I might not be able to come back."
"Oh, is it so powerful?" Ai Nian's eyes flashed slightly, as if he was extremely surprised.
"Have you ever heard of the ancient mythical white tiger?"
"Isn't that a myth and legend in a story novel? Could it be true?"
"It shouldn't be wrong, but why it appears here is a bit strange." He stretched out his hand and stroked the little white tiger's furry back, his eyes full of thinking.
"You don't know either?" Ai Nian asked.
Chu Feng shook his head, but did not answer the other party.
The tent became quiet. Ai Nian didn't ask any more questions. He just knelt down and sat quietly aside, his eyes slightly lowered, not knowing what he was thinking. Chu Feng didn't pay attention and started to drink tea by himself.
After a while, a burst of light footsteps sounded, approaching from far away. Without any detection, you could tell that it was sisters Qingyue and Qingyu.
"Ah, the master is back!"
As soon as she came in, Qingyue suddenly let out a cry of surprise, hurriedly put down the food box in her hand, and pulled her sister forward to salute.
"Ah, sister, look at what a cute kitten!"
After getting up, Qingyu suddenly discovered something, pointed at the motionless little white tiger lying on the ground and cried out in surprise. Qingyue was also a little happy, and her whole mind was attracted by this cute creature.
"Master, this little white cat is so cute, can we pet it?"
"This is not a cat, it's a tiger." Chu Feng corrected him, but did not stop him and reminded him again,
"Be careful, it's quite familiar with life."
"It turns out to be a tiger, you can't tell at all." Qingyue smiled happily, and then she and her sister came closer together, reaching out to gently test.
What Chu Feng didn't expect was that unlike Ai Nian before, the two of them gently stroked the little white tiger, but it didn't cause any resistance. The latter just opened his eyes and glanced, and then closed his eyes again to rest.
.
"Master, look, Xiaobai doesn't hate us!" Qingyu was so happy that she couldn't help but say.
"Xiao Bai? This name is really..."
Chu Feng laughed dumbly, but did not correct him. Xiaobai was just Xiaobai, it was just a code name. However, what puzzled him was that Xiaobai did not exclude the two of them.
He couldn't help but look at Ai Nian, who's bright eyes flashed slightly, but he suddenly smiled and said:
"It seems that Xiaobai is very attached to them. I really envy them."
With that said, he casually opened the food box that Qingyue brought back, and in an instant, a burst of fragrance hit his nostrils.
"So beautiful. Madam Wei is not only beautiful, but she also makes these delicious snacks."
His mind was attracted, Chu Feng subconsciously looked down, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. What he saw was that the snacks in the food box were like flowers that had just bloomed. They were really beautiful.
"This Wei Ying'er comes from a wealthy family, but she also has good cooking skills. No wonder she was missed by the two generations of Emperor Yunhuang."
"Mrs. Wei made this one herself. I want the master to try it. If it suits your taste, I will find time to make it again in the future."
Qingyue didn't know what he was thinking, so she turned around and took out the cakes from the food box one by one. These cakes were indeed very attractive, and when placed together, they had the feeling of "flowers blooming".
"She does have a good heart."
Chu Feng nodded without any objection. He picked up a piece and bit it. He felt that it melted in his mouth and his lips and teeth were filled with fragrance. It was indeed delicious.
"By the way, Master, when I came back, I saw Mr. Liu's bodyguard. He seemed to have encountered something, and he looked worried." Qingyue suddenly thought of something and said again.
"You didn't ask about it?"
Chu Feng's heart moved, and he had some vague guesses. However, he was not sure yet.
"Master, forgive me, maid..." Obviously, even though Qingyue became his maid, she still felt a little inferior. Even if she discovered something unusual, she didn't have the courage to step forward and ask.
"Don't be cowardly from now on. If you have any questions, just ask. No one but me will dare to do anything to you."
"My maid knows."
The unabashed protection in his words made not only Qingyue but also the little girl beside her feel warm in her heart.
"You guys can eat by yourselves, I'll go out for a while."
Chu Feng found out about Liu Chengfeng, and immediately stood up and walked out of the tent. Xiao Bai, who was taking a nap, suddenly opened his eyes, without any hesitation, turned into a white light and fell directly on his shoulder.
"You guys are quite annoying."
Chu Feng took him off his shoulders, smiled, but did not refuse, and stepped out of the tent.
Qingyu was a little reluctant to leave, but did not dare to say anything more. She turned around and enjoyed the delicious pastries with her sister. However, the two of them did not see that Ai Nian was staring in the direction outside with a flash in his eyes.
A little more serious.
…
"I've met Mr. Chu."
Just when I walked out of the tent, I saw Liu Chengfeng walking towards me.
"Looking at your sad face, have you encountered something difficult?"
"Master Mingjian, there is indeed a troublesome matter." Liu Chengfeng sighed, paused, and then explained,
"Junior Brother Lin's subordinates have just received news that there are traces of large groups of people moving near the Hun Gorge Valley. I'm afraid they have bad intentions."
"Really!"
Chu Feng's heart moved, and he immediately thought of the information he had accidentally discovered when he was at Qinglong Pass. Those people must be Jin Kaiyang's subordinates, and their purpose was to come to the escort team.
"How did you find out?" Chu Feng was very curious about this. After all, what Jin Kaiyang did before was so secretive that it would not be easy for him to reveal his flaws.
"It's a coincidence. Linjiazhai has its own information base in Qinglong Pass. By chance, we found out something. Yesterday, many people left Qinglong Pass in the same direction as us.
After Junior Brother Lin received the news, he took it very seriously and immediately sent people to investigate in detail. However, nothing was found.
This escort trip was too important, and he did not dare to be careless. He suddenly thought of the Hun Gorge Valley. It was far away from Linjiazhai and was the most dangerous section for the escort team to return to Baiyun City. If they wanted to ambush, they would definitely not be able to escape from this place.
.”
Seeing Chu Feng's silence, Liu Chengfeng thought that Chu Feng didn't understand the pros and cons, and then explained,
"Young master, you don't know that the valley of Hun Gorge is in a peculiar position. There are upright mountain walls on both sides. Only in the middle is a long and narrow path. If someone ambushes on both sides of the top of the mountain, it will be extremely dangerous. However, this is another
It is the only path we must take and there is no way around it."
"Since we have learned the news in advance, what is there to worry about?"
Since it is an ambush, strength is one aspect, and surprise is also needed. Now that Jin Kaiyang's men have been exposed, the meaning of the ambush has been lost.
Chu Feng couldn't help but feel a trace of disdain. This Jin Kaiyang looked mysterious and mysterious, thinking he was just a person. He didn't expect to act so carelessly. Could it be that he has been aloof for a long time and has a somewhat arrogant attitude?
"What the young master said is true." Liu Chengfeng suddenly became serious.
"We still don't know where these people come from and what their purpose is. If they are really here for the escort team, then a big battle is probably inevitable."
"What do you need me to do?" Chu Feng looked at the other person, thinking that if he came to see him, he must have some needs.
"I think the young master has already learned something about the situation from Concubine Wei. She has a valuable status and must not make any mistakes. Otherwise, even if we defeat the intruder, our Yongfeng Escort Agency will be destroyed. We don't need the young master.
Whatever you do, just do your best to protect your safety when the time comes."
"Okay." Chu Feng answered directly without hesitation.
Originally, he planned to participate in it as a return of a favor. Now it seems that there are some changes. Liu Chengfeng has the help of Lin Jiazhai's people, so he will be more certain of victory.
As for Wei Ying'er, she had already agreed to the other party's deal, so it goes without saying that she would protect her life.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Liu." Liu Chengfeng felt relieved. This most critical matter was solved. He was truly relieved and could give it a try.
"Young master, please forgive me, I still need to go to the Hun Gorge Valley to check the specific information, so I'll take my leave first."
After saying that, he cupped his fists and saluted, turned around and walked away.
Chu Feng stood there, watching the other party's disappearing figure, his eyes flickering slightly.
He was very clear about the ins and outs of the matter. It was not so much that Jin Kaiyang came to trouble the Yongfeng Escort Agency, but rather that he came for the six-color order in his hand. Therefore, this battle was destined to be inevitable.
The difference is that what was originally a sneak attack with greater certainty has now turned into an open battle. In this way, strength becomes the key to determining victory or defeat, and the battle will be more brutal.
give up?
It can be known from Jin Kaiyang's tone that day that there is absolutely no way he would give up. The value contained in the Six Color Order is too great, especially for someone like him who wants to go further, there is no possibility of giving up.
Jin Kaiyang is not just a master, he represents the Jinyue Merchant Alliance behind him, and like the Yongfeng Escort Bureau, they are the top forces on the Western Continent. Once the two sides start fighting, it will inevitably cause a chain reaction.
What's more, this also involves Concubine Wei, the daughter of the Wei family in Baiyun City, and the woman that Emperor Yunhuang wants to get. This will make it even more complicated, and the entire Western Continent may be stirred up.
"Everything in the world is unpredictable, and a storm is coming. This battle is just the trigger. In the end, I don't know where it will lead?"
Five fingers scratched Xiaobai's furry head, but he chuckled lightly, with no intention of going to stop him. No matter whether it was chaotic or not, it would not have a fundamental impact on him.
The key is strength. In his own situation, being a little more chaotic will be more helpful to his future actions.
