Nangong Haotian and the four others secretly admired Shangguan Xiaowan, because Jiang Xiangzhu and others felt that they had escaped from a tiger's mouth and were lucky enough to survive, so they would be shocked and suspicious.
After a while, the five people started Qinggong and followed the footprints of Jiang Xiangzhu and others, speeding up and chasing them forward.
About one mile ahead, there is a ravine covered with ice and snow. Since it is the starting point of the ravine, the snow keeps sloping into the ravine.
When the five people arrived at the ravine, they saw that the footprints on the head of the ravine were messy and the toes turned forward. This confirmed that Jiang Xiangzhu and others were indeed here to observe invisibly. Everyone became more and more impressed by Shangguan Xiaowan's insights.
When Shangguan Xiaowan saw it, he said anxiously: "Okay, now we have to step up our pursuit. They also started to run away, trying to reach Jiudaogou as early as possible!"
Nangong Haotian and others started Qinggong and accelerated their pursuit along the ravine. However, the strength of everyone was much lower than him, so they never used their full strength.
But it can be regarded as saving the power of chaos, and the battle will be more secure when the time comes, so Nangong Haotian is not in a hurry.
After continuing for a few miles, although the sky was bright, the sky was extremely cloudy and it looked like snow was about to fall.
Nangong Haotian and others calculated the mileage and found that it should not be that far away from Jiudaogou.
At this time, the two cliffs of the ravine were covered with iron-branched plum trees covered with ice and snow. The buds had just begun to bloom and the flowers had not yet bloomed, but they already had the faintest fragrance.
After advancing a few dozen feet, the ditch turned due north, and those footprints also climbed onto the ditch cliff at an easy climb. There was still a vast and far-reaching plum forest on the cliff, which seemed to meander dozens of miles away.
As soon as Nangong Haotian and the five others climbed onto the ditch cliff, the leader of Jiang Xiang came from the front and shouted in surprise: "Ah? Deacon Gu, you...why are you here?"
Nangong Haotian looked back excitedly and glanced at Shangguan Xiaowan and the other four, then waved his hand violently, taking the lead and galloping forward quickly through the gaps in the forest!
After advancing less than ten feet, they reached the end of the plum forest. Outside the forest, there seemed to be a piece of snow rock. This really surprised Nangong Haotian, and he hurriedly stopped.
But just when Nangong Haotian stopped, Shangguan Xiaowan and four others also arrived.
After Jiangxiang Master shouted to the ancient head in shock, dozens of other leaders, big and small, also greeted the ancient head excitedly, but the distance was too far and it was difficult to hear what they said.
As soon as Nangong Haotian arrived at the edge of the forest, he found Jiang Xiangzhu and others standing among the rocks and snow a few feet away. At this time, Gutou was already surrounded by them. Because Gutou was short, his face and expression could not be seen now!
"Didn't you already sneak out of the stronghold and escape?" Jiang Xiangzhu said nervously: "Why are you here again? The Dragon Slayer King and the head of the branch already know that you quietly left the stronghold and escaped!"
I heard the old head argue in annoyance: "How could I escape? I didn't leave the stronghold at all. Because I saw so many people leaving the stronghold, I went to find Hall Master Liang of the Dragon Slaying Hall!"
Master Jiang Xiang asked in confusion: "What are you doing with Hall Master Liang?"
"Oh, don't mention it!" The old man sighed and said, "It's a long story. Let's sit down and talk slowly..."
Jiang Xiangzhu said hurriedly: "No, we still have to go to Jiudaogou..."
The old man said: "Don't panic, there's no one inside!"
"What?" one of the big bosses asked anxiously: "There's no one inside?"
The old head said seriously: "I don't think it's that fast yet. I am also the leader of the Dragon Slaying Hall, Hall Liang, who wanted me to meet here!"
After a moment of silence, the Jiangxiang Master said helplessly: "Okay, let's sit down and rest for a while!"
Nangong Haotian and Shangguan Xiaowan looked at each other and looked into the distance. Since there was no village or town in front of them, they guessed that Jiudaogou might be down the slope nearly a hundred feet away.
While looking around, the group of people over there had already chosen a place to sit down, but the Jiangxiang Master asked first: "Deacon Gu, you still come to this place to meet at this time, are you not afraid that the Dragon Slayer King will kill you?"
?"
The old man pretended to be stunned and said: "Why does the Dragon Slayer King want to kill me?"
"Didn't I tell you? Alas..." Jiang Xiangzhu sighed in annoyance and said helplessly: "I want you to stop following the chief rudder to Tuotuo Mountain. Why don't you understand what I mean...
…”
"Then why?" Gutou asked in surprise: "It just confused me!"
Master Jiang Xiang seemed to let go and simply said: "Let me tell you! The Dragon Slayer King said that you and Aunt Shan used to work under Liu Qingqing, and now Aunt Shan has taken refuge in Nangong Haotian. If you know, you will definitely go
…”
"What a joke, why did I defect to them?" Gutou said angrily: "If I wanted to defect to Nangong Haotian, I would have defected to Jiyunguan a long time ago. Why should I go to this ice and snow to suffer and suffer?"
One of the big bosses with a short, square face suddenly let out a confused sound and asked, "I heard that your relationship with Aunt Shan is not very good."
When the words fell, Gutou said even more angrily: "This is nonsense. If I had a good relationship with her, wouldn't I have run away with her in the first place?"
Another tall and thin boss said: "But people say that Aunt Shan is your wife!"
The old man was helpless, shook his head and explained with emotion: "Well, that's because our former chief helmsman Liu Qingqing, every time he wanted the two of us to go out to do something, he would disguise himself as an elderly couple to hide the truth, so he didn't know what was going on.
They all thought that Aunt Shan was my wife!"
After saying this, he paused, spread his hands, and said with a sad face: "You guys think, Aunt Shan has a face full of wrinkles, a pair of white hair, a pair of small eyes, and two thin mouth, my old man would marry such a
Is a dominatrix a wife?"
After saying this, all the eleven or twelve bosses couldn't help laughing, as if they had forgotten that all of them were lost dogs.
Nangong Haotian, Shangguan Xiaowan, Zhao Ling'er and Liu Qianwen all couldn't help laughing, and turned back to see Aunt Shan.
I saw Aunt Shan's old face was slightly red, her thin lips were smiling, and her small eyes were shining with a strange light. Since Nangong Haotian and the other three looked at her with smiles, they could only say with a somewhat proud smile: "Looking back, I can spare him!"
"
As soon as he finished speaking, Master Jiang Xiang's voice came from over there, and he said disapprovingly: "Aunt Shan does have white hair, small eyes, and a thin mouth, and she speaks quite fiercely, but it's not like what you said.
Looks like a dominatrix!”
The old man still insisted: "That's because you haven't seen her with your own eyes. If you had seen her with your own eyes, you wouldn't say that I exaggerated..."
At this time, several of the eleven or twelve leaders smiled and said, "We have already seen her just now..."
The old man pretended to be surprised, said "Oh", and looked stunned!
The other big boss did not doubt that he was there, and continued: "Aunt Shan is indeed terrifyingly fierce. I feel like she is the only one who is yelling and scolding us all the time. She looks like a ghost from hell!"
Gutou quickly collected himself and asked in shock: "Where did you meet her?"
Jiang Xiangzhu said calmly: "It's at the tunnel entrance in the northeast corner!"
The old man looked startled when he heard this. He uttered an ooh and asked in confusion: "How does she know there is a tunnel in our village? Is she the only one?"
"No, there are also the daughter picked up by the chief of Shangguan Branch and Nangong Haotian!" Another big boss said.
"I understand..." Gutou suddenly said.
Jiang Xiangzhu asked calmly: "What do you understand?"
The old head said seriously: "This must be Nangong Haotian's idea, he sent them to block you there!"
Master Jiang Xiang couldn't help but snorted coldly: "How did Nangong Haotian know that there is a tunnel in our stronghold that leads to the outside of the stronghold?"
"Why did you forget today?" The old man said solemnly: "Have you forgotten that Nangong Haotian followed our Dragon Slayer King to learn martial arts at Zhangren Peak in Wutai Mountain?"
Jiang Xiangzhu seemed to be reminded by Gutou's words. He nodded and said, "I have some clues now!"
When Gutou saw Lord Jiang Xiang's expression, he spoke more seriously and said, "Think about it, the Dragon Slayer King regards him as the heir to the Demon Dragon Slayer Castle, and even gave him his command flag, sword robe, and sword.
Can the Dragon Slayer King tell him the organizational situation, geographical location, and deployment situation of each general branch rudder one by one?"
Jiang Xiangzhu nodded repeatedly and said: "Now I understand why our Dragon Slayer King was so nervous and scared. Not only did he burn down the stronghold, but he also quietly escaped through the tunnel!"
Seeing that he had fallen into the trap, Gutou asked deliberately: "Why did he escape through the tunnel?"
Master Jiang Xiang said angrily: "There were fires all around the walls of the village. He couldn't help but run away. Where did he escape? Could it be that he turned into a bird and flew out! I'm afraid he turned into a roasted bird before he could fly out! Hahaha...
…”
After saying that, there was a burst of laughter from all around, as if they were risking their lives, they also made a joke about the Demon Dragon Slayer King.
The old man was stunned when he heard this, and asked deliberately in confusion: "You mean, our Dragon Slayer King didn't escape until he set fire to the village?"
Jiang Xiangzhu thought of how he met Nangong Haotian and Shangguan Xiaowan, and couldn't help but snorted in annoyance and said angrily: "Not only did he escape from the tunnel, but he also asked us to take the lead in exploring the way for them..."
Nangong Haotian and Shangguan Xiaowan were shocked when they heard this, and their expressions changed immediately, knowing that they had been fooled again this time.
The old man said in disbelief: "No way, the Dragon Slayer King's martial arts is the best in the world, and our chief rudder is also one of the most famous figures in the martial arts world today. How can we let you take the lead?"
Another big boss said angrily: "Really, they are right behind us, they are hiding near the entrance of the cave..."
