The black-faced man wearing a felt hat saw the middle-aged man entering the woods. He did not follow him directly, but went around to the other side and climbed in carefully.
There were green trees and figures in front of him. As he looked around, he suddenly felt a pain in the back of his head, his vision went dark, and he suddenly lost consciousness.
Meng Qi picked up his vest and clothes, walked back to the original place, threw them in front of the middle-aged man, and said calmly: Be careful when you walk.
Although the oasis is cooler than the desert and has abundant water vapor, it is not as comfortable as spring in March in the hinterland of the Central Plains. The middle-aged man was originally a little hot, but at this time, his vest and forehead were covered with dense cold sweat, and a chill rose from his heart. I'm being followed. I don't even know I'm being followed.
Yes, it is too careless to be too small. He replied breathlessly.
When Meng Qi and Gu Changqing met him, they all dressed up differently, with black cloth covering their heads and black robes covering their bodies, a typical Shake look, and their faces were also covered with scarves.
Did you find out what news Meng Qi was playing with a few broken pieces of silver in his hand, which made the middle-aged man swallow his saliva.
He calmed down and said in a clear and coherent manner: I have asked about it in inns, restaurants and other places, and it turns out that a gray-robed young master did pass by nearly ten days ago. He has no money and is begging for help. Although he is stupid, he is handsome. , was a simple and honest man, gained a lot, and was remembered by others. He inquired about the route of the natural disaster and went to Chexi Gorge.
From this oasis to Bomi, there are seven or eight routes depending on the water source, and Chechi Gorge is a must-pass for two of them.
Meng Qi nodded lightly. The image he described and his reckless style really fit his junior brother: Is there any other news
The middle-aged man frowned and said: Yes, there is, but the younger one thinks it's too fake. I'm afraid of dirtying the ears of these two nobles.
But it doesn’t matter. Meng Qi's heart moved.
The middle-aged man thought for a while and said: Some people say that the little master in gray robe cried and made a fuss on the street and pestered people for money. Finally, we returned to Congling in the east, eh. No other news.
Meng Qi threw the broken silver to him thoughtfully: Be careful when you go back.
The middle-aged man looked at the light of the money and said with excitement: I know it, I know it.
Looking at his leaving figure, Gu Changqing said doubtfully: The news behind is too false, not like the true wisdom you described. If the bandit deliberately confuses the public, he should make up a decent lie.
Meng Qi smiled and said: "You have to see through it at a glance that it's a lie, so that it fits their intentions."
Gu Changqing was a little confused as to what the intention was.
Meng Qi smiled half-smilingly and said: Since there can be such a clumsy lie, there is probably news that conforms to Zhenhui's image and behavior but deliberately misleads at key points. Although Zeluoju was the leader of the horse bandits. He dominated the vast sea, but he only commanded 30% of the horse bandits. There was more than one horse bandit leader with him.
There are also many horse bandits who want to go against Zeluoju.
Are you saying that the previous news may also be false? Gu Changqing suddenly said, "It makes sense. I just said there shouldn't be such a clumsy lie. This was obviously done deliberately by Zeluoju and his enemies, the horse bandits, to remind us of the trap." , there are more than one or two such characters in the vast sea.
He seemed to have started talking all at once: For example, the Jinshuo Oasis where my Gujiabao is located. There is no power like Zeluoju at all, because it belongs to the Ice and Snow Mad Blade Poisonous Body
Ice and Snow Mad Saber is another powerful horse bandit leader in the vast sea. He is also a top-notch master in the exterior scene. He is incompatible with Zeluo Ju. Rumor has it that behind him stands the Shura Temple of the Nine Paths of Evil, and Meng Nan, the number one master in the Western Region who has condensed the body of the Great Asura.
Shendu Zeluo is the transliterated name of people from the Western Regions, and Anguo is the Central Plains name of people from the Western Regions.
Talking and talking. Gu Changqing's voice gradually became lower, because he was exposing his shortcomings. Gujiabao, who always regarded himself as a righteous man, actually wanted to take shelter from a horse bandit leader. Perhaps it was because of this that he particularly missed the glorious history of the Gu family's ancestors who traveled across the sea, performed chivalrous acts of justice, and killed horse bandits, and he did not consciously rely on this aspect.
Meng Qi nodded and said nothing, protecting Gu Changqing's face.
Gu Changqing suddenly smiled bitterly and sighed: Meng Qi, am I ridiculous? I say that I am a chivalrous person, but my family secretly relies on the bandit leader. If your enemy is not Luo Ju, he is a poisonous person. Liao, I'm afraid, I'm afraid I don't have the courage and heroism to help. I'm afraid, I'm afraid that my family will be implicated.
If you act chivalrously and righteously without caring about your family, I'm afraid I will look down on you. You won't even be able to protect the survival of your own family. There is no talk of justice. Meng Qi comforted Gu Changqing.
Gu Changqing looked into Meng Qi's eyes and saw the sincerity in his eyes, so he felt relieved: Then should we look for the horse bandit leader who spread the false news? He is an enemy of Zeroju and his gang, and he will definitely be willing to help us. Give us the correct intelligence.
Meng Qi waved his hand: "Don't worry yet, maybe his hostility towards Zeluoju is also disguised."
I have seen a lot of this kind of scheming, and I am no longer more careless than before. I am now considered to have richer experience in the world.
After Gu Changqing was shocked, he thought about it carefully and realized that this was indeed the truth. The cunning of the horse bandits should not be underestimated.
If the look in his eyes when he looked at Meng Qi changed again, the little master would probably be twisting and turning in his heart. He was very keen on conspiracies and intrigues.
Compared with him, I am simply stupid and inexperienced.
So what should we do? He asked sincerely.
Meng Qi pointed to the unconscious black-faced man on the ground: Isn’t there still him
With that said, he kicked the black-faced man awake.
The black-faced man slowly opened his eyes. He was confused and didn't understand his situation. It wasn't until he saw the two masked men in black above him that he suddenly woke up. He was shocked and scared and said: "What do you want to do?"
I would like to ask you what you are going to do and why you are following us furtively. Meng Qi, the man who followed us, shouted sharply, trying to act like a gang boss.
Me, I don’t, I just go into the woods for convenience. The black-faced man replied in a panic, "Two heroes, please spare me, I don't know anything."
Meng Qi moved his right foot to his finger and stepped on it gently, which made the black-faced man's hair stand on end: "Don't, don't, don't use force."
I never say that I am a cruel person, but I am not a human being when I am cruel. Meng Qi threatened.
The black-faced man looked at him for a moment, sighed and said, "Hero, if I tell you the truth, won't you kill me?"
Of course, I'm a good person. Meng Qi issued a good person card to himself, which made Gu Changqing dumbfounded.
The black-faced man took a deep breath and slowly exhaled: I am a subordinate of the big stall, specially inquiring about information in this oasis and passing on the situation of the caravan. This time, I was ordered by the big stall to wait in the oasis to inquire about the young monk and the old man. The person who followed the monk's whereabouts was just like this.
Meng Qi, the boss, doesn't know much about these bandits.
Gu Changqing introduced: Da Dongzi was drunk and did not know what he had done. He fled from the Central Plains to Hanhai and raised a team of horse bandits. He named himself Da Dongzi. He was very powerful. It was said that he had opened six orifices and had powerful men. There are many, not only five or six masters who are enlightened, but also the smiling fox Yu Lin, a military advisor who is good at planning.
They are used to operating in this area, but unexpectedly they have secretly surrendered to Zeluoju.
Meng Qi nodded and continued to ask: So, Che Lixia is a fake news you deliberately released to lure us into an ambush.
It's not false news. The young monk did go to Chexixia. It's just that I asked the innkeeper and the guys who sold information to hide something. The black-faced man answered honestly.
What happened? Gu Changqing asked.
The expression of the black-faced man was distorted: He was hiding the fact that the valley near Chexi Gorge was a Dazhan camp. In this way, if anyone asked about the whereabouts of the young monk, they would fall into a trap.
What about the young monk? Meng Qi asked without changing his tone.
The black-faced man whispered: He was caught by the big stall and is waiting to be given to Boss Zeluo as bait.
Answer honestly and I will spare your life. Meng Qi used his right foot hard and kicked the black-faced man in the head, causing him to faint again.
After being unconscious for a while, the black-faced man woke up and found that there was no one in the woods. His expression changed a few times, and he quickly got up and returned to the market town.
At this time, two figures suddenly appeared in the woods, it was Meng Qi and Gu Changqing.
Why didn't you go to Chechaixia to rescue Zhenhui? Gu Changqing was puzzled as to why he still had to wait there. Saving people is like putting out a fire.
Meng Qi smiled and said to him: We can't just believe what others say. No matter what the information is, it must be verified.
How to verify? Gu Changqing, the horse bandit on the other side, asked in confusion.
Meng Qi pointed at the dark-faced man who was looking around and back as he walked. This was to prevent him from being followed: Look for him, otherwise why do you think I didn’t kill him
Isn't it because you are a monk? Gu Changqing muttered in his heart.
Meng Qi walked out of the woods with his hands behind his back and said: Changqing, you are waiting here.
They have become familiar with each other and no longer need to care about the title of Young Master Gu.
Hey, Gu Changqing will be discovered if he follows like this. He has never seen anyone follow him so arrogantly. The other party can see him as long as they turn around.
Meng Qi's clothes did not change, but he took off his black face scarf to avoid attracting the attention of passers-by. He put his hands behind his back and walked slightly behind the black-faced man, without any intention of avoiding him.
The black-faced man kept turning back as a habit, but his gaze always passed through Meng Qi and towards the distance, as if there was no one there.
Seeing Meng Qi strutting behind the black-faced man, who turned a blind eye to him when he turned around, Gu Changqing felt a ghostly chill even though the sun was high and bright.
