Li Luo nodded, and Hua Qi went to look for a place to rest. Li Luo looked back and saw that Chang Ning was already tired. The unknown woman was leaning against a pine tree to recover her strength. Chu Ying'er was wearing a mask, so she couldn't tell.
The look on his face is no longer as light as when he first entered the mountain.
?b?i?q?u Li Luozhan smiled and said, "You guys should take a rest and eat something. You must be exhausted from the journey."
Chang Ning's eyes flashed with strange light, and he asked in surprise: "Master Wu, I didn't expect that your inner breath is so deep. It's nothing like what you should have at your age."
Li Luo smiled softly and said: "Miss Changning is overrated. My family is well-off. When I was young, I took a lot of exotic fruits and precious medicines. My internal strength is a little deeper than that of my peers. But Miss Changning, Shengyin has a distinguished status. I didn't expect that she could be so advanced."
His internal strength and body skills are beyond my expectation."
Chang Ning smiled mischievously and said, "My family is not bad either."
Li Luo laughed and asked a few people to sit down and rest. The unknown woman leaned against the tree and did not sit down. Li Luo did not persuade her and just let her have her way.
As soon as the woman entered the mountain, Li Luo also noticed it. She seemed to have the feeling of a ferocious beast entering the forest, blending into the high mountains. If Li Luo and others hadn't followed Li Luo and hid in the mountain, no one would have been able to find her trace.
Within a moment, Hua Qi found a resting place, which was a cave sheltered from the wind. The four of them followed Hua Qi around a mountain col. The cave was very secretive, and it was hard to believe that Hua Qi could find this place in this dark night. Li Luo admired it several times.
After saying this, Hua Qi felt a little proud, and all the worries on the road were gone.
He led a few people into the cave. The cave was quite large and could accommodate dozens of people. The best thing was that there was a corner in the cave, and a huge protruding rock just blocked the entrance of the cave. If a fire was lit in the cave, no trace would be visible outside.
Hua Qi found some dry branches and lit a fire. Chu Ying'er cleaned up the beasts and filth in the cave. A few people sat on the ground, drank some water and ate some dry food. Although there were pursuers behind him, it was rare to see them.
People's hearts relax slightly and they regulate their breathing.
The unknown woman also sat closer and looked at the fire. She moved slightly and then calmed down again. Chu Ying'er was entrusted by Shen Xiangdong to pay more attention to the woman along the way. When she saw this, she asked coldly: "What do you have to say?
Want to say something?"
Everyone looked at the unknown woman in surprise. The woman moved half a step back and remained silent. Li Luo smiled and said, "Although the fire cannot be seen, there is smoke. If it floats out with the wind, the pursuers will find traces."
The unknown woman nodded imperceptibly. Li Luo looked at Hua Qi and said with a smile, "Brother Hua has probably expected this."
Hua Qi hurriedly stood up and bowed: "Young Master, you are serious in your words. How could Hua Qi be so virtuous? Just call me by my subordinate's name."
Li Luo signaled to Hua Qi that there was no need to be polite. Hua Qi then walked down and explained to Chu Ying'er and Chang Ning: "Young Master also guessed it. Yes, if it is normal, there is no obstruction in the mountains, and it is winter again. This smoke
The smell is carried by the wind, and a skilled tracker can smell it ten miles away. But when we go southeast, the wind also blows southeast. The pursuer is upwind, and even though his nose is sharper than a dog, he can't smell it.
A hint of smoke.”
Chang Ning suddenly realized it and said in surprise: "That's it. Brother Hua is really thoughtful."
Hua Qi's face turned red. Fortunately, his face was covered with stubble, so others couldn't tell him clearly. He kept saying, "Girl, that's a prize, that's a prize."
Chu Ying'er suddenly said coldly: "So you can understand what we are talking about." But she was talking about the unknown woman.
The woman was silent and did not argue. She just lowered her head and sat behind a few people. Li Luo glanced at it, smiled slightly and said: "It doesn't matter whether you understand or not. It doesn't matter whether you want to speak or not. It's just that the girl will suffer with us along the way.
Now, when we get to Dagan, if the girl has nowhere to go, she can stay at our residence for a while. In the future, she can go or stay as she pleases."
Hua Qi couldn't help but curiously asked: "Master, who is this girl?"
Li Luo looked at the woman and didn't know how to speak. Chu Ying'er replied coldly: "Young master bought it from a slave trader."
"Ah," Hua Qi whispered, and then said harshly: "This Xirong dog thief never regards people as human beings, how can he sell people around like goods." After saying that the province, Changning, is also a Xirong ethnic group.
The people hurriedly answered: "There are good people in Xirong, not all bad people."
Chang Ning gave a wry smile and said: "Brother Hua, there is no need to be shy. If I had not gone with Mr. Wu that day, I would not have known that the Xirong court would have acquiesced in such deeds that were outraged by both humans and gods. Even though Chang Ning is a citizen of the Xirong ethnic group, he still feels uneasy with his conscience."
Li Luo added a handful of firewood and said sadly: "The world is miserable. There are people selling slaves not only in Xirong, but also in Dagan. Although the court does not allow it, in private such things are common and no one investigates them. Speaking of which, it is not much better."
"
Hua Qiyi was stagnant, not knowing what to say, and was bored to the side. Chang Ning said, "Master Wu, I have something to ask if I can."
"Oh, what's the matter?"
Chang Ning said softly: "Master Wu has anticipated the dangers along the way. Why not let Mr. Wu or Mr. Wu Jing take this girl away?"
Li Luo glanced at the unknown woman and said slowly: "That day, I wanted her to leave with her uncle first, but she seemed unwilling, so I didn't force her. Besides," after a pause, Li Luo took a long breath.
He took a breath and said, "I'm quite curious about her mask."
Chang Ning asked in surprise: "I have also heard you talk about the Mu Kuo Death Guard. Is it possible that Mr. Wu is also interested in the training method of the Mu Kuo Death Guard?"
Li Luo shook his head, but the woman still sat motionless, as if what others said had nothing to do with him. Li Luo said loudly: "Even though Mu Kuo's death guards are tyrannical, by relying on such methods, they are suspected of being heresy.
For thousands of years, any powerful country that has been dominant for hundreds of years relies on the life of its soldiers. Every soldier, every soldier, or even every plant and tree is the foundation of the country. Although Mu Kuo is prominent for a while, he will die as a guard when he succeeds, and he will die as a guard when he fails. This way
, it rarely lasts long. I kept her with me just because I thought maybe I could help her take off this mask."
The unknown woman trembled all over, and her emotions were already fluctuating. Changning and the others were stunned. They didn't expect Li Luo to have such an idea. Changning Yingying smiled and said: "The young master has such thoughts, it is also the fate of this girl, but Changning heard
As you mentioned, many people have tried to decipher the secret of Mu Kuo's death guard over the years, but all failed. Is Mr. Wu confident?"
"Manpower is always exhausted, and I really don't have much research into this medical practice. But fortunately, I have an old friend who is a senior, and he has a lot of ideas about the Mu Kuo Death Guard. I should give it a try."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Ying'er let out a cry of surprise. Chang Ning glanced at Chu Ying'er, his eyes were shining, and he said with a smile: "I wonder who the young master's old friend is, and he can have such powerful means?" (
