Chapter 397 Tracking

At this time, the donkey cart of the high flag master had been driving for a while. Zhang Xiaohua was afraid of delaying the business, so he said: "To tell you the truth, your brother-in-law's team has already headed west from here. It seems that he has discovered something. Useful clues. Moreover, I am not the thief who kidnapped your niece. If you want to find your brother-in-law, you can just go west."

After hearing this, Yu Deyi turned to look at the path to the west, walked slowly towards that side, and said, "Since you are not a thief, how do you know that I am looking for a girl?"

Zhang Xiaohua laughed heartily, but said: "Yes, this is what I want to tell you now. If you want to find your little niece, then don't go west."

"Huh?" Yu Deyi stopped curiously and asked, "Why is this?"

"Because that was a thief's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain. The west side is just a minion, but the real thief is riding a donkey cart."

"Ah?" Yu Deyi said in surprise: "How did you know?"

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "When I pulled you over just now, the thief drove out of the village and went straight to the east."

"Why didn't I see it?" Yu Deyi asked curiously.

"Because I'm taller than you."

"This..." Looking at the masked man in front of him who was only a few fingers taller than himself, Yu Deyi was speechless. This didn't seem to be a very accurate reason.

"Then why didn't you stop him? You alone are not good at martial arts, but the two of us are good enough, right? How about you chase him and I'll report it to my brother-in-law?"

Zhang Xiaohua shook his head and said: "If I stop him, I can only save your niece, but no one else can. Moreover, if you go to report the news now, let alone whether you will still find the thief when you come back." When you arrive, it will be difficult for you to find his lair."

Yu Deyi is also a smart person, and he immediately understood what Zhang Xiaohua meant, and said: "Then what do you mean by your Excellency, is to follow that donkey cart? Just the two of us to chase after it?"

Zhang Xiaohua secretly cursed: "Nonsense, do you think I want to take you there? If I weren't afraid that you just met the high flag leader, and if I weren't afraid that you would later report the news to your brother-in-law who doesn't know the truth, I could take you. go?"

There was no expression on his face, he just nodded.

"There must be many people in the thief's lair. You and I may not be their opponents. I think it's better to inform my brother-in-law first."

Zhang Xiaohua stared at him coldly and said nothing.

Seeing this, Yu Deyi felt a chill in his heart, and immediately said: "Okay, since you have great martial arts skills, then... well, I will risk my life to accompany you, and I will go with you to the wolf's den for a walk."

Yu Deyi understood that this man would definitely not let him go. If he didn't follow others, he might be killed immediately. The feeling of being suddenly grabbed by the back of the neck just now was very uncomfortable.

"Okay, that's very good. Brother Yi volunteered for this job on his own initiative without any coercion." Zhang Xiaohua said with a smile: "Besides, isn't it because of my niece that I'm here? His heart is commendable."

Yu Deyi curled his lips secretly.

Zhang Xiaohua roared in a low voice, and Si unlike Huanhuan came galloping from outside the village. When they got close, Zhang Xiaohua floated up and said with a smile: "Brother Yi, will you get on your horse?"

Yu Deyi stared at the mule in stunned silence for a long time, and finally asked: "Your Excellency, just... just ride this? Can you catch up with the donkey cart?"

Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said: "Isn't it just a donkey cart? It's not a carriage, why can't I catch up?"

Some of them were speechless, yes, didn’t they just talk about a donkey cart? Using a mule to chase a donkey was exactly the opposite.

After thinking for a moment, he put away his sword, got on his horse, flicked the reins, and the bay-red horse galloped out.

Zhang Xiaohua also slapped her bald horns happily, and her hooves were flying, chasing closely behind the bay-red horse without falling behind at all.

After walking for a while, Yu Deyi heard voices behind him: "Brother Yi,

Let's go slow. If we chase a donkey cart at this speed, we'll catch it very quickly. It's best for us to stay far away. What do you think? "

As soon as Yu Deyi turned around, his eyes nearly dropped. The ugly mule was following closely behind him. The masked man was sitting cross-legged on it. Looking at the mule, he seemed to be at ease. Is this still a mule? ?

After Yu Deyi was surprised, he immediately stopped looking down on him, followed Zhang Xiaohua's instructions, and slowed down his horse.

So, a horse and a mule were walking slowly on the path. Zhang Xiaohua knew what was going on, but it was too late. From the time he arrived at the entrance of the village until he was tricked by Zhang Xiaohua onto the path, he still didn't see the donkey cart. How can we rest assured with just a little trace?

He couldn't help but look sideways at Zhang Xiaohua, and thought to himself: "Could it be that this guy's target is me, who is handsome and unrestrained?"

Thinking about it, I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart.

But when he looked at that person, he didn't even look at himself. Instead, he closed his eyes. He didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't seem to be interested in him. I hoped that I was wrong.

Sure enough, after a meal, Zhang Xiaohua said: "This guy is really not ordinary cunning."

Then, the two of them continued to move forward. When they passed the fork in the road, Zhang Xiaohua went directly to another southward intersection without hesitation.

Yu Deyi was shocked, how could this guy know how to go south?

Is it really possible to stand high and see far?

I am not much shorter than him.

However, immediately, I understood in my heart that this guy was not alone. There must be his helper in front of him, and he had already marked the roadside! Therefore, I no longer feel timid in my heart. Since I have helpers, I don't need to imitate others and be a lone hero.

Going all the way south is actually the direction to Lu Town.

Moreover, this walk actually lasted two days!

Fortunately, the leader of the high flag on the donkey cart did not travel at night. He also stayed overnight in Xiaoxing. Most of the time, he stayed overnight or slept in the wild. This was good, as it spared Zhang Xiaohua the troublesome pursuit and only caused him to fall asleep at night. But it was annoying, so Zhang Xiaohua had to find a reason to escape far away, find a suitable place to sleep, and wait until the next day to show up. However, fortunately, Yu Deyi also knew what he was doing and knew that he was far away from Pingyang City. With nothing to rely on, he could only follow this mysterious knight. It seemed that this knight had the same idea as him, which was to save people, so he followed Zhang Xiaohua's arrangements and did not run away or act on his own.

In the afternoon of this day, the donkey cart drove slightly eastward and entered a small road. The speed of the cart accelerated obviously. Zhang Xiaohua was startled, and then she swept her consciousness forward. Sure enough, there was an extremely quiet village in front of her. Zhang Xiaohua was overjoyed. She was probably This is the destination of the high flag master.

Zhang Xiaohua said to Yu Deyi: "Brother Yi, take a few steps quickly. I think it's getting late. I just wonder if there is a place to stay ahead?"

Yu Deyi was stunned, and immediately looked up at the sky. He was very puzzled and thought to himself: "It's very early in the morning, how can it be late? Is this man talking in his sleep? Seeing that he closes his eyes and rests every day, he probably always does it at night. Insomnia."

But he said: "But listen to the hero's orders."

Zhang Xiaohua secretly laughed in her heart and did not say anything. She patted her bald horns and Huanhuan quickened her pace a little. Not long after the high-flag leader entered the mountain village, the two of them arrived not far from the mountain village.

The village beyond the bare woods could be seen in the distance. Zhang Xiaohua pointed with a smile: "Brother Yi, this mountain path seems to be specifically leading to this mountain village. If nothing goes wrong, the donkey cart will go inside. You said, since it is a dedicated trail, is there someone there who will be monitoring this place?"

Yu Deyi's heart trembled, and he shrank his neck and said, "My hero, can they see us?"

"Probably not. Haven't we not reached the end of the path yet? They can't be clairvoyant."

After hearing this, Yu Deyi said in a long voice: "That's very good, but how can we go deep into the tiger's den and obey the hero's instructions?"

Zhang Xiaohua looked at the well-behaved Yu Deyi in front of her. How could she still look so arrogant in front of her a few years ago? He turned to look at the village in the distance and said, "This is easy to handle. Just stay here and look out for me. I'll go and have a look. If there's anything weird or anything gained, I'll let you know. What do you think?"

"Ah? That's it." Yu Deyi was surprised when he heard that he didn't have to be a lone hero, he only had to play drums by the side. He couldn't help but have doubts in his heart: "This man deceived himself from Pingyang City. Let yourself be the guard? It’s incredible. Is there some kind of trap?”

Seeing Yu Deyi's hesitation, Zhang Xiaohua said, "How about Brother Yi go in by himself, and I'll be here to look out for him?"

Yu Deyi quickly smiled bitterly, waved his hand and said, "It's better for you, hero, to go in by yourself. My martial arts skills are limited, so it's better to stay here and look out for the enemy."

The tone was far from the high-spirited tone back then. Zhang Xiaohua was very surprised. Haha, that was the same for anyone who was beaten up by a group of teenagers five years ago and lost his confidence.

After the arrangements were made, Zhang Xiaohua no longer rode Si unlike, but only used Qinggong, jumped up to the treetops, and leaned forward.

At this time, the high-flag master had already driven the donkey cart to the innermost part of the village, in front of a huge manor.

The gate of the manor was closed. Not surprised, Master Gaoqi jumped off the donkey cart and walked to the gate. He held the door knocker with his hand and knocked lightly several times in a rhythmic manner. The door heard a "Zhila" sound. After opening it, a strong man stuck his head out, saw Master Gaoqi, frowned and said: "Master Gaoqi, why did you arrive now?"

The leader of the high flag quickly raised his hands and said: "Steward Qi, I have some secular matters over there, but it's a delay. However, today I came with the things the Lord needs, so I ask Steward Qi to be accommodating."

After hearing this, Steward Qi looked at the donkey cart outside and said with a smile: "Master Gaoqi is still awesome. He has completed the order given by him so early. Come on, come to the corner gate. I will open the door for Master Gaoqi."

The leader of the high flag bowed his hands, came down the steps, and drove the donkey cart to the corner gate. At this time, the corner gate was already wide open. In front of it was a screen wall facing the corner gate. On it, a big tiger with a white forehead and an eye-catching gaze was vividly staring at the people who were entering. donkey cart.
