Chapter 127 "Tracking" (Guaranteed to Be the First Update, Please Vote for Recommendation)

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. Being followed! He was being followed without even knowing it!

"Yes, I was too careless." He replied breathlessly.

Meng Qi and Gu Changqing were dressed differently when they met him, with black cloth covering their heads and black robes covering their bodies, typical of Shake, and their faces were also covered with scarves.

"What news did you find out?" Meng Qi was playing with a few broken pieces of silver in his hand, making the middle-aged man swallow his saliva.

He calmed down and said logically: "I've asked around in inns, wine shops and other places. There was indeed a gray-robed young master who passed by nearly ten days ago. He didn't have money and went around asking for alms. Although he was stupid, he had a long temper. He was handsome, honest, had a lot of achievements, 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, yes, but I think it's too fake and I'm afraid it will taint 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 was crying and making a fuss on the street, pestering everyone for money, and finally returned to Congling in the east. Well, there is no other news."

Meng Qi thoughtfully threw the pieces of silver to him: "Be careful when you go back."

The middle-aged man looked at the light of the money and said with excitement: "I know, I know."

Looking at his leaving figure, Gu Changqing said doubtfully: "The news behind is too false. It is not like the true wisdom you described. If the horse 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 is a lie, so that it meets their intentions."

"What's the intention?" Gu Changqing was a little confused.

Meng Qi smiled half-heartedly and said: "Since there can be such a clumsy lie, there is probably news that conforms to the image and behavior of Zhenhui but deliberately misleads at key points. Although Zeluo Ju is the leader of the horse bandits and dominates the vast sea, he is only the leader. He accounted for 30% of the horse bandits, and there was more than one horse bandit leader with him. "

There are also many horse bandits who want to go against Zeluoju!

"You mean, the previous news may also be false?" Gu Changqing suddenly said, "It makes sense, I just said that there shouldn't be such a clumsy lie. This was obviously done deliberately by Zeluoju and his enemies, the Ma Bandits. To remind us of the trap, there are more than one or two such characters in the vast ocean.”

He seemed to have started talking all at once: "For example, the Jinshuo Oasis where my Gu Family Fort is located does not have the power of Zeluoju at all, because it belongs to the 'Ice and Snow Crazy Sword' Shenduliao..."

"Ice and Snow Crazy Sword" 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 Zeluoju. It is said that behind him stands the "Shura Temple" in the Nine Paths of Evil. Meng Nan, the number one master in the Western Regions with the "Great Asura Body".

Shendu and Zeluo are the transliterated names of people from the Western Regions, while Anguo is the Central Plains name of the people from the Western Regions.

As he spoke, Gu Changqing's voice gradually became lower, because this was exposing his own shortcomings. Gu Jiabao, 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 missed the ancestors of the Gu family who roamed the vast sea. , the glorious history of being a chivalrous man and killing horse bandits, but 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 talk about being a chivalrous person, but my family secretly relies on the bandit leader. If your enemy is not Luo Ju, but Luo Ju and others, I'm afraid that I won't have the courage and courage to help, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that my family will be implicated..."

"If you don't care about your family and just act chivalrously, I'm afraid I will look down on you. You can't even protect the survival of your own family. How can you talk about 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 Zeluoju and his gang, and he will definitely be willing to help. Us, give us the right 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.

"What?" After Gu Changqing was shocked, he thought about it carefully and found 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 Zhen Ding 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.

"Then what should we do?" he asked sincerely.

Meng Qi pointed at the black-faced man who was unconscious on the ground: "Isn't he still here?"

As he said that, he kicked the black-faced man awake.

The black-faced man slowly opened his eyes, confused, and didn't understand his own situation until he saw the two masked black-clothed Shakes above him, and then he woke up and said in shock and fear: "What do you want to do?"

"I want to ask you what you are going to do? Tell me! Why are you following us secretly?" Meng Qi shouted, trying to act like a "gangster boss".

"I, I didn't, I just went into the woods for convenience." The black-faced man replied in panic, "Two heroes, please spare me, I don't know anything."

Meng Qi moved his right foot to his fingers and stepped on them gently, gently, which made the black-faced man shudder: "Don't, don't, don't use force."

"I never say that I am a cruel person, but when I am cruel, I am not a human being." Meng Qi "threatened".

The black-faced man looked at him steadily, sighed and said, "Good man, if I tell the truth, will you not kill me?"

"Of course, I am a good man." Meng Qi gave himself a good man card, which made Gu Changqing laugh and cry.

The black-faced man took a deep breath and slowly said, "I am a subordinate of Da Dangzi, who specializes in gathering information in this oasis and conveying the situation of the caravan. This time, I followed Da Dangzi's order and waited in the oasis for people who inquired about the whereabouts of the little monk and the old monk. I just followed them like this."

"Da Dangzi?" Meng Qi didn't know these bandit names very well.

Gu Changqing introduced: "Big Dangzi Shen Zui, who had committed some crime, fled from the Central Plains to the vast sea and formed a bandit group, calling himself 'Big Dangzi'. He is very powerful and is said to have opened up the six orifices. He also has many capable subordinates, including five or six masters who have opened up their orifices, and the military strategist 'Smiling Fox' Yu Lin who is good at planning."

"They are used to being active in this area, and I didn't expect that they have secretly joined Ze Luoju."

Meng Qi nodded and continued to ask: "So, Che Lie Gorge was a false news you deliberately released? To lure us into an ambush?"

"It's not false news either. The little monk did go to Che Lie Gorge, but I asked the innkeeper and the guys who sold intelligence to conceal something." The black-faced man answered honestly.

"What is it?" Gu Changqing asked.

The black-faced man's expression twisted for a moment: "Hide the fact that the valley near Chelie Gorge is the camp of the big gang. In this way, if anyone asks about the whereabouts of the little monk, they will fall into the trap."

"What about the little monk?" Meng Qi asked in an unchanged tone.

The black-faced man whispered: "He was caught by the big gang and is waiting to be sent to Boss Zhe Luo as bait."

"Answer honestly, I will spare your life." Meng Qi kicked the black-faced man on the head with his right foot, causing him to faint again.

After being unconscious for a while, the black-faced man woke up slowly and found that there was no one in the woods. His face changed several times, and he quickly got up and returned to the market town.

At this time, two figures suddenly appeared in the woods, and they were Meng Qi and Gu Changqing.

"Why don't you go to Chelie Gorge to save Zhenhui?" Gu Changqing was puzzled why he 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 intelligence is, we have to verify it."

"How to verify it? Find the bandits on the other side?" Gu Changqing asked doubtfully.

Meng Qi pointed at the black-faced man who was walking and looking around and looking back - he was trying to prevent being followed: "'Find' 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 put his hands behind his back, walked out of the woods, and said: "Changqing, you wait here."

They were already familiar with each other, and there was no need to call him Master Gu.

"Hey, you will be discovered if you follow like this!" Gu Changqing really had never seen anyone follow someone so openly. The other party would see him as long as he turned back!

Meng Qi's clothes did not change, but he took off the black scarf to avoid attracting the attention of passers-by. He put his hands behind his back and walked slightly to the side behind the black-faced man, without any intention of avoiding him.

The black-faced man habitually kept looking back, but his sight always passed through Meng Qi and looked into the distance, as if there was no one there!

Watching Meng Qi swaggering behind the black-faced man, and the black-faced man turning his head and ignoring him, even though the sun was high and bright, Gu Changqing felt a kind of ghostly chill.

What's going on?
