,.
The mountains were rugged and difficult to travel, especially with horses. It was a struggle and we found a valley to hide.
The traveling state suddenly turned into an emergency hiding state, naturally because of the perceived danger.
The sudden interception made Niu Youdao aware of an unprecedented danger. This danger was beyond his expectation and completely unexpected. Without a clue, he really did not dare to go any further!
If you don’t figure this out, you won’t know where the danger comes from or why you’re being targeted. You’re too passive!
The troops settled down, and everyone looked at Niu Youdao who seemed to be worried.
Niu Youdao Chujian stood by the stream, looking up at the bright moon above the valley.
Yuan Fang came closer, "Master Dao, are we going to hide here?"
Niu Youdao was indifferent and waited for a while before saying, "Take 50,000 yuan to supply Black Peony."
"..." Yuanfang was speechless. If he had known better, he would not have come over to talk.
However, Black Peony heard the sound and came over, "Master Tao, no need!"
Niu Youdao said nothing, still thinking.
Yuanfang took out 50,000 yuan, stuffed it into Black Peony, and stayed away.
Looking at the golden ticket in his hand, Black Peony saw that Niu Youdao was thinking about something, so Black Peony didn't bother him. He also roughly understood a little about Niu Youdao's character. Since he gave it to him, he took it.
There was a burst of sound, mixed with the chirping of birds, and Niu Youdao was so startled that he came to his senses and turned around suddenly.
"There's a cave here."
Duan Hu, who was investigating in the valley, flashed back and found a natural cave. He walked in and took a look, but he disturbed the birds that lived in the cave for the night.
A few people walked over and took a look, and it turned out to be a cave. To be precise, it was an opening created by a split in the mountain. It's not big either. It has an oblique triangular entrance and is two to three feet deep.
After walking into the cave and taking a look, Niu You said, "Bring me the map."
Duan Hu took out the map from the package he was carrying. There was no table here. Wu Sanliang on the side took his hand, and the two pulled apart. The map was opened in front of Niu Youdao, and Yuedie clung to it. Lighting on the rocks above.
Niu Youdao Chujian stood in front of the map, his eyes followed the path he came from, and finally landed on Duyun Mountain.
Who wants to kill him? His enemies are currently only those people. Generally speaking, those people of the Song family, and the imperial court of Yan State involved after killing Song Long. Apart from these two groups of people, he really can't think of anyone who would come to Zhao State. Put him to death.
And this precise interception has proved that he was being targeted, and his route was accurately locked.
Who is eyeing him? How did you target him? If he couldn't figure out how he was targeted, he might fall into someone else's net at any time, and he wouldn't dare to trespass even a single step!
At present, what he knows is that the three sects of Liuxian Sect, Fuyun Sect and Lingxiu Mountain are chasing him. The other one who most likely knows his approximate route is Duyun Mountain.
Judging from the situation and reaction of contacting Yun Huan, Du Yunshan should be able to rule it out. It is unlikely that Du Yunshan knew that he would visit beforehand. If he had received the news a long time ago that he wanted to do something evil to him, he would not have let him go. He could have been easily kept, and there would be no possibility of anything happening later.
Therefore, Hou Qingtian's words are credible. Duyunshan only received the news of the interception after he left.
People from the three sects can also be eliminated. If the three sects can accurately grasp his specific route, they can directly take a shortcut and intercept and kill him personally without having to borrow Du Yunshan's hand.
In this case, a third party accurately grasped his whereabouts.
There are only two possibilities for this third party to find Duyunshan. Either there are no men on hand who can kill him, or there is a distance problem and the men who can kill him cannot arrive in time.
It is also certain that the third party cannot contact the killers of the three factions of Liuxian Sect, otherwise there is no need to find Duyunshan.
So how did the third party accurately grasp his route
He must be discovered first, and then the tracking arrangements can be made.
He directly eliminated the possibility of being targeted within the Star Reaching City area. The reason for the exclusion was that, like the three factions, it was difficult to grasp his precise whereabouts.
Then the person who was targeted may have been targeted only after leaving the Gobi grassland and entering the official road.
The prerequisite for targeting him is to know him. He is a bit strange. Does anyone here know him? In Zhao State, there were not many people he knew or knew about him. What's more, the probability of meeting him in such a relatively remote area was too low. There was no way he would meet Chen in Jinzhou again. Is it the case of Guishuo? The reason why I stayed in the Immortal Sect was because I had his portrait in my hand. Could it be that someone along the way also had his portrait
"Have you noticed any abnormalities along the way? Think carefully and don't let go of any abnormalities."
Niu Youdao stretched out his hand and gestured widely back and forth on the route here. His own thoughts were actually focused on the inns along the way. There were not many passers-by in such a remote place, so the most common place with people was Stations along the way.
Several people thought about it for a while but had no response, and couldn't think of anything unusual.
Black Mudan asked: "Master Tao, when you went to Duyun Mountain to visit Yun Huan, does it count as the fact that you were intercepted and killed before?"
Niu Youdao: "It doesn't count!"
Black Peony: "Then there was nothing unusual along the way. After leaving Star Reaching City and entering the official road, except for these two things, we basically didn't stop all the way. We only changed horses at the inn."
"Please help me mark the location of the horse-changing post station on the map, as well as Yunhuan's old nest, Yunxiao Cave Mansion, and the location where we were intercepted at Three Bends. Please mark them as accurately as possible." Niu Youdao gave an order and turned around again. Yuanfang said: "Take out the charcoal."
Yuanfang took the charcoal pencil with him along the way, which could make him money by drawing casually. He took out the charcoal pencil and gave it to Black Peony.
Black Mudan discussed with Duan Hu and others and confirmed the location of the post station next to the official road. It was not difficult to remember that the post station was quite large and a hub-type post station. It was near a fork in the road and was easy to locate. As for the location of Yun Huan's old nest, it was located on a main peak of Duyun Mountain. He directly found the main peak and circled it to locate it. If the location where the three turns are cut off is at a certain corner, it will be easier to find.
"Master Dao, you're done." Black Mudan turned around and said.
Niu Youdao took away the charcoal from her hand and looked at the map carefully. If we say it is standard, this map is really not standard. But compared to the ancient abstract map he knew in his previous life, it is really too standard. I guess It is related to the help of monks everywhere, which is convenient for surveying and mapping.
He drew the scabbard on the map and calculated the distance from a certain place to a certain place. He then used a charcoal pen to mark the scale on the scabbard, and then measured the marked Duyun Mountain and Sanshan using this ratio. Check the position of the road curve to verify how accurate the scale is.
A series of inexplicable actions made several people look at each other in confusion, completely confused and wondering what he was doing.
Niu Youdao, who put down his scabbard, stood in front of the map, stared at the map and asked, "Where do you think the intermediary who contacted Duyun Mountain for my killer will be?"
Black Mudan smiled bitterly: "How can you know this?"
Niu Youdao's eyes were fixed on Chizhou Fucheng, and he said slowly: "You two cast spells to tighten the map."
Duan Hu and Wu Sanliang did as they were told.
Niu Youdao Hengjian was at Chizhou Fucheng and Yunxiao Cave. According to the distance shown on the scale, divided by the known approximate flight speed of Golden Wings, he got the approximate time. He wrote a number next to the map with charcoal. How many people Incomprehensible numbers.
Niu Youdao pointed at Chizhou Fucheng. The charcoal pen held in his fingertips was slowly floated away by the magic power, and he pointed at the location of Yunxiao Cave. The spinning magic power brought the charcoal pen with it and drew a mark on the map with a swish sound. A circle with Chizhou Fucheng as the center.
After adsorbing the charcoal pen in hand, Shen Mo calculated the time from leaving the inn to leaving Duyun Mountain, subtracted the time just calculated, multiplied by the approximate flying speed of the golden wings, calculated the approximate distance, and once again placed the scabbard horizontally on the red The capital city was used as the starting point, and the distance point just drawn was marked in any direction.
Then he pointed at Chizhou Fucheng as the center again, floated the charcoal to the previous point, and drew a circle with a swish of rotating magic power.
Niu Youdao grabbed the charcoal and looked at the location of the inn. He found that the circular edge he had just drawn had already framed the inn, which was different from his guess.
But this is not important. It would be strange if there were no errors. Among them were the time difference between the message transfer and sending, as well as the error in timing, plus the imprecision of the map.
What he wants is just a rough verification, not accuracy.
He then drew circles one after another, constantly holding the scabbard to measure the circles, and writing down some strange numbers that few people could understand.
After doing this for a while, Chu Jian stood in front of him and stared at the map and said: "There was something wrong with the station where we changed horses before. It should have been discovered there."
Several people looked at each other.
Then Niu Youdao said slowly: "The message should have been sent out about a stick of incense time after we left the inn. After the message arrived in Chizhou Fucheng, it stayed for about half an hour, and then the intermediary sent it to Du Yun Mountain. If I guess correctly, the person who bought my life and the intermediary are both in Chizhou City."
After saying this, several people were speechless, and this kind of thing was done as if he had witnessed it with his own eyes.
Black Mudan tried to ask: "Master Tao, I think you seemed to have aimed at Chizhou Fucheng from the beginning."
Niu Youdao: "Chizhou Fucheng was just a hypothesis at the beginning. The business of buying and selling human lives, if you can do it, you won't be able to do it if you can't control the buyers and sellers. And being able to contact people at any time to help buyers solve problems is also It cannot be done by one person, it must be an organization. I don’t know how big this organization is, but the first-level center should not be in a small place near Duyun Mountain. The location should have certain geographical radiation advantages. Combined with the approximate distance that can be generated in the time of message transmission, we took a rough look and found that Chizhou is very suspicious, so we used it to verify the hypothesis. The final calculation results are relatively reasonable in terms of time and distance, so the hypothesis of Chizhou is established." ,.
