Chapter 136

Seeing that Niu Youdao and others left with a package, Cui Yuan followed and wandered to the vicinity of the lobby.

Cui Yuan confirmed that the situation had changed after watching the assistant take Niu Youdao and others to the direction of the secret passage. Niu Youdao did not act separately from Hei Mudan and others, but checked out and left together.

Cui Yuan groaned secretly in his heart, and quickly left the inn.

Sitting behind the counter, Bai Yulou glanced at Cui Yuan's leaving figure, holding a wait and see mentality, wondering if Xuanyuandao could escape the pursuit of Liuxianmen.

It's just that he couldn't understand, if Xuanyuan Dao really had a grudge against Liuxian Sect, if he really wanted to get rid of Liuxian Sect's pursuit, he could sneak away by himself, wouldn't it be safer?

Quickly rushed to Liuxianzong store, Cui Yuan immediately shouted to Huang Enping who was guarding behind the counter as soon as he entered the store: "Brother, the situation has changed."

Huang Enping behind the counter stood up and said in a deep voice, "What's going on?"

Cui Yuan walked to the counter and said anxiously: "Niu Youdao and Hei Mudan checked out of the room together, they did not leave separately, they left together through the secret passage of Yaoyue Inn."

Huang Enping: "What happened to Lei Zongkang? Didn't I contact you in advance?"

Cui Yuan shook his head: "No, if I hadn't been watching and saw it with my own eyes, I'm afraid I wouldn't know they left."

Huang Enping's face darkened, "Could it be that Lei Zongkang is playing us?"

Cui Yuan: "It's not quite like it. Lei Zongkang should understand the consequences of tricking us. If it was really tricking us, Niu Youdao should have known about it and left secretly. Why do you have to go around and take risks until now? And Lei Zongkang gave me a look when he left, and he seemed quite helpless. It seems that Niu Youdao changed his mind temporarily, so he didn't have time to inform us."

Huang Enping frowned: "Did Lei Zongkang be exposed?"

Cui Yuan hesitated and said: "It doesn't look like that. If Lei Zongkang is really exposed, why does Niu Youdao take him with him? It's enough to sneak away and escape. Why do you want to bring trouble by your side?"

In this way, when the two thought about it, it seemed that there was only one possibility, that Niu Youdao himself was too cautious, deliberately making a lot of cover-ups to prevent leaking his whereabouts.

"This dog is really cunning!" Huang Enping said bitterly.

"What about Uncle Master?" Cui Yuan asked, a bit dumbfounded.

Huang Enping's head is getting bigger too, Niu Youdao's actions, Shanhu County is probably a hoodwink, and he won't go at all, but the uncle personally went out and gathered people from three sects to go to Shanhu County to set up.

And Niu Youdao had already left through the secret passage of Yaoyue Inn. With just the two of them, trying to find Niu Youdao in the vast mountains was like finding a needle in a haystack. It was impossible, and a few times more people would be enough.

However, no matter what, this side still needs to inform the uncle of the situation, and the uncle can decide what to do by himself.

A secret report was quickly written here, and Jin Chi sent it out.

After finishing all this in a hurry, Huang Enping sat down on the chair and sighed: "It's very easy to know what's going on with Lei Zongkang. It depends on whether he will spread the 'bait' to inform the news."

Cui Yuan also sat down at the side, and now, the two of them are at a loss what to do, they can only wait for the decision from the uncle, or place their hopes on Lei Zongkang...

In the garden of the City Lord's Mansion, Xiang Ming, the chief manager, is not like a housekeeper, but a gardener. In short, Bai Yulou can often see him trimming the flowers and plants in the garden with a pair of scissors.

"gone?"

Hearing Bai Yulou's report, Xiang Ming stopped pruning, and slowly turned to look at him, seemingly surprised.

Bai Yulou bowed slightly, "Yes, I just left through the secret passage, and the buddy confirmed it with my own eyes."

Xiang Ming was silent. He thought that Niu Youdao was approaching Sha Huanli on purpose, and watched with cold eyes. He dared to call attention to Sha Huanli.

"It seems that the old man is overwhelmed." Xiang Ming laughed at himself slightly.

Bai Yulou laughed and said, "It's always right to be cautious."

Xiang Ming: "What is this person's background?"

Bai Yulou: "I've talked to him, and he refuses to reveal the truth, but Liuxianzong is obviously not good for him. If the manager wants to know, you should be able to understand by asking Liuxianzong."

Xiang Ming glanced at him sideways, "I heard that he gave you a lot of benefits?"

Bai Yulou's heart tightened, and he knew that the matter would be heard by the other party. He chuckled and said, "I saw that the city lord liked his paintings, and I was worried that the city lord would call him again. I made some suggestions, but who knows that he is very generous. Don't do it in vain, and I didn't refuse. Don't worry, the manager. I understand the rules. Our status in Zhaixing City is aloof, and we will not easily get involved in those messy things. This subordinate will take care of it."

"It's good to know. If you need money, just say nothing, and don't stretch out the wrong hand, otherwise no amount of money can buy peace." Xiang Ming said lightly, turned around and continued to trim those flowers and plants...

Crash! Figures broke through the turbulent river and landed on the shore. It was Niu Youdao and others.

Niu Youdao and the others were alright, except that Yuan Fang was already soaked, and his body was dripping with water, his cultivation was not strong enough to withstand the pressure of the water for a long time.

After locating the location based on several high mountains in the distance, Niu Youdao found a direction and led a few people quickly through the mountains.

During the gallop, Lei Zongkang twisted a bean-sized particle in his hand, crushed the wax, and dropped it on the ground motionlessly while running.

As the party went away, the small particles that fell on the ground changed with the wind, the surface became slightly rough, weathered, and gave off a faint fragrance.

The mountains are cut out horizontally, and there is an endless Gobi in front of you, and there is a horse farm in the distance.

This racecourse is not the one when Niu Youdao came, because the monks came from all directions, and Star Picking City has horse farms in several directions around it.

Don't underestimate the horse farms. In fact, the profit of each horse farm will not be lower than that of Yaoyue Inn. Because there are many monks who come here on horseback, the horses are thrown on the horse farm, and many monks will not return the same way.

If the horses have been stored for a long time, the storage fee will be higher than the cost of buying the horses, and basically no one will come back to redeem their horses.

For example, Niu Youdao now has no desire to retrieve his mount from the horse farm when he came back, but leads people to the horse farm here.

Arriving at the racecourse, there were many abandoned horses in the racecourse, and there was nothing to buy. The six of them bought six horses, and ran out of the racecourse, all the way to the depths of the Gobi.

Hei Mudan and the others on the horseback looked at me and I looked at you from time to time. It was agreed earlier that they would not come to the racecourse to pick up the horses, but would go on foot. Now there is no need to ask, the Taoist master's plan has obviously changed.

Let’s identify the direction again. It’s not Shanhu County at all, and I don’t know if it’s a detour, or Shanhu County is just a cover. Before departure, I reiterated that I’m going to Shanhu County. Anyway, Niu Youdao’s repeated detours made the group a little confused.

In short, Hei Mudan and the others also understood along the way, don't ask, they will tell you what they should tell you, otherwise you won't get anything out of it.

But Niu Youdao's capriciousness, changing the plan again and again, made Lei Zongkang gradually become uneasy. What does Niu Youdao mean by being so cautious? Did he discover something?

In the store of Liuxianzong, the helpless two brothers sat there in a daze, they could only wait, Cui Yuan had already returned to Yaoyue Inn to return the room.

In a birdcage hanging under the beam, suddenly there was a chirping sound of birdsong. The two brothers and sisters looked back suddenly, and saw three small green feather birds jumping up and down in the cage endlessly.

The name of this bird is: Xunxiang!

The two suddenly turned their heads to look at each other, and Qiqi blurted out: "Lei Zongkang!"

Standing up together, Cui Yuan said anxiously: "Brother, what should we do? By the time uncle and the others come back, the medicinal effect of the bait will have evaporated long ago."

Huang Enping said in a deep voice: "We can't let that guy run away, let's go find him!"

Cui Yuan grabbed him, "Brother, even if Lei Zongkang is on our side, the attitude of the three of Hei Mudan is not clear, plus Niu Youdao's side, there are five of them, if two of them entangle with each other, Niu Youdao might slip away, can we be sure to run?"

Huang Enping said decisively: "Go to the left-behind personnel of Fuyunzong and Lingxiu Mountain. They will definitely help each other. Otherwise, if the three factions can't cut him down, they won't be able to lose face."

Cui Yuan waved his hand and pointed, "No one is watching, what about the things in the shop? The things here are worth a lot of money!"

Huang Enping: "It's too late to clean up. Put a closed business sign on the door and close the door. No one dares to trespass. If you really want to sit idly by and let the thief run away like a log, the teacher will question your ability and my future. The future is bleak!"

Cui Yuan thinks about it too, outsiders don't know what's going on inside, and they won't break into a shop of a sect without permission.

The two quickly prepared, caught the scent-seeking bird in the cage, carried the golden wings, closed the door and hung up the sign of closure and left.

The two found the shops of Fuyunzong and Lingxiu Mountain. After a while, the two shops also went out of business one after another.

Gathering six people together, they quickly left the City of Picking Stars and came to the mountains outside, where Cui Yuan released the fragrance-seeking bird.

I saw the scent-seeking bird hovering in the air for a while, and quickly flew in one direction, and the six immediately followed.

The people below are limited by the terrain, and if they can't catch up, Cui Yuan will take out a piccolo and blow it in his mouth, and the bird will land and wait.

When everyone arrived, the piccolo sounded, and the birds quickly took off again.

Not long after, the group found the first discarded bait. The sweet-seeking bird pounced on the ground, swallowed it in its mouth, and jumped happily, as if it liked it very much.

Huang Enping saw that the location of the bait was not far from the river, so he became more confident and continued to track it all the way.
