Chapter 1228: Going deep into the wolf's lair
The man saw that he was blocked from front to back and forth, and his eyes twitched, but for a moment, his expression calmed down and there was no panic. He suddenly turned around and looked at Chu Huan and asked, "Are you Chu Huan?"
Chu Huan was not surprised. Since this person followed him and monitored him, he naturally knew his identity. He asked back without expression: "Who are you?"
The man sneered, "I know you're looking for someone."
Chu Huan said quietly, "So what?"
"You are looking for a woman." The man was a little surprised when he saw Chu Huan's calmness, "Chu... Lord Chu, is the person you are looking for? Is the surname Lin?"
Even though Chu Huan was determined, his heart could not help but beating faster at this moment. He walked forward a few steps and asked, "Do you know where she is?"
"I know." The man said straight to the point: "She is in our hands now. It will not be difficult for Lord Chu to see her."
Chu Huan narrowed his eyes, looked at the man a few times, and finally asked, "Who are you?"
"I'm just a letter delivery person." The man said, "Mr. Chu, if you want to see Miss Lin, go with me now."
"Why should I follow you?" Chu Huan sneered: "What are you going to prove that she is in your hands?"
The man was calm and took out a cloth scarf from his arms and threw it to Chu Huan. Chu Huan reached out to take it, and only glanced at it, his face calmed down. Although it was just an ordinary cloth scarf, Chu Huan could recognize it at a glance. It was the material on the hem of Lin Daier's robe.
Chu Huan winked. Ma Zheng and Liu Suifeng had already rushed up from behind. The man was startled, but he did not resist. He let the two of them control themselves. He just sneered: "Mr. Chu, if you really want to see her, you should be more polite to me."
Chu Huan, however, had already stepped forward slowly and said coldly: "Where is she now?"
"I can't tell you." The man relied on Lin Daier in his hand, fearless and raised his head, "If you want to see her alive, do what I said, otherwise I can't guarantee that you can still see her alive."
Chu Huan smiled coldly, and suddenly poked out his hand and pinched the man's neck. He practiced the Dragon and Elephant Sutra. Since he had sex with Su Niang and broke through the Baoxiang Dao, his strength was no longer comparable to before. He did not look strong, but his strength had reached a terrifying level. Although he had only used less than 30% of his strength, the man felt that his neck seemed to be clamped by an iron hoop, and he could not breathe for a moment.
Chu Huan was extremely cold. The man's face turned red, his eyes began to protrude outward, and his body struggled desperately, but his hands were indeed suppressed by Ma Zheng and Liu Suifeng.
The man was shocked. He didn't expect Chu Huan to treat him like this. After a while, he felt unconscious. He opened his mouth and his tongue had stretched out. He vaguely felt that his body seemed to float up. His heart was in great pain. He thought to himself that the legendary Chu Huan was actually a madman, and he would kill people when he met.
He only thought he would die without a doubt. His mind was drifting, and suddenly he was filled with a sensation and a breath gushed in. He took a few breaths greedily and even recovered. Only then did he realize that Chu Huan had withdrawn his hand.
After walking through the gates of hell, this man was no longer as arrogant as before.
"Your name?"
"My name is...my name is Tiezhuang!"
"Where are people?"
Tiezhuang gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Chu, I can tell you where she is and will lead you over, but... but if you want Miss Lin to be unscathed, I still have to make clear some things... some things."
"you say."
"Miss Lin is in our hands now, and so far, it is very safe, without a single hair." Tiezhuang said: "But if Lord Chu wants to see her, he can only go there alone."
"Are you talking to me about conditions?"
Tiezhuang said with a bitter face: "Mr. Chu, I dare not make any conditions. I just said that I am just a sender. The conditions are issued by the above. If Mr. Chu does what I say, Miss Lin will never be in danger. But... But if Mr. Chu breaks the rules, I am afraid they will make things difficult for Miss Lin."
Qiu Ruxue sneered: "Tell us the local area, you don't have to worry too much about other things."
Tiezhuang shook his head and said, "I know your thoughts. After you know the place, you will plan to save people. But I still advise you that this trick will not work at all. It has been said clearly that unless you see Lord Chu alone, if you see any subordinate of Lord Chu, they will take action without hesitation. There are people guarding Miss Lin day and night, and they are extremely cautious, so you cannot get close to them at all."
Qiu Ruxue was about to speak again, Chu Huan had already raised his hand to stop and asked, "How far is she from here?"
"It will take at least one day to arrive." Tiezhuang said: "Mr. Chu, please think twice about whether to follow me."
Ma Zheng immediately said: "Sir, you must not go with him. Your daughter-in-law is related to the safety of Xiguan. This trip is extremely dangerous and you must not be deceived by them."
Qiu Ruxue hesitated for a moment and finally said, "Sir, they have caught Miss Lin for you. This person follows him. It can be seen that he has a good understanding of our whereabouts. There must have been a trap there. The so-called gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall. We ask about Miss Lin's place from him and then plan to save people. It is better than an adult who is alone."
Chu Huan pondered for a moment, stared at Tiezhuang's eyes, and said, "I promise you!"
The few people were shocked, and Chu Huan turned around and said to Qiu Ruxue: "Brother Qiu, you don't have to follow me. No matter what, I can't sit still and see Dai'er in trouble and ignore it."
Qiu Ruxue and others tried hard to persuade each other, but Chu Huan seemed to have made up his attention and no changes were made.
...
...
Chu Huan followed Tiezhuang to leave the town. Tiezhuang led the way and walked on a horse. As Tiezhuang said, the journey was quite far. After a day, he went without stopping and finally came to a wilderness.
At dusk, the autumn wind is bleak, and the reeds dance in the wind, looking vast and lonely.
"Mr. Chu, it's not far ahead." Tiezhuang admired Chu Huan at this time. He, as the governor and the chief official, dared to take risks alone for a woman, which was also intent.
Chu Huan had already seen a black dot in the distance under the vast sky. When the horse approached, the black dot slowly expanded, but it was a three-room wooden house.
There was a deserted area around the wooden house, and there was no one figure.
Two horses galloped to the wooden house, and Tiezhuang shouted: "Mr. Chu brought it."
The voice was heard, but there was no reply. Tiezhuang frowned. Chu Huan looked at Tiezhuang coldly and asked, "This is where you are talking about? Where is Miss Lin?"
Tiezhuang was sweating on his forehead. He had seen clearly at this time that the three rooms were all open with doors, and the room was empty and there was no trace of anyone.
Just as he was about to explain, he heard a voice saying, "Tiezhuang, is this Chu Huan?" In the voice, a person turned from behind the house. The man had a dark clothes and black pants, with a gloomy face.
Tiezhuang immediately said: "Feng Xiang, report to the Marquis, the man has been brought here."
The man turned out from behind the house and actually led a horse. Tiezhuang was even more surprised. He heard the man say, "The Marquis is not here, I will take you to see him!"
Tiezhuang Qi said, "The Marquis is not here? Where did you go?"
"Don't ask what you should ask, and don't ask what you should ask." The man said coldly, turned to Chu Huan and bowed, "Sorry, Master Chu, I'm sorry, Master Chu knows that Lord Chu is both wise and brave, and also knows that Lord Chu has great power. Although this place is indeed remote, it is still within the sphere of influence of Lord Chu. It is easy for Lord Chu to mobilize hundreds of soldiers to siege this place. Once the transaction is completed, Lord Chu takes Miss Lin away and lets your soldiers catch us in one place. Then we will not be worth the loss... Lord Chu, I hope you can understand our difficulties."
Chu Huan's face did not change and said lightly: "It seems that you are really cautious. The entire Xiguan is the sphere of influence of our governor. Could it be that Miss Lin is no longer in Xiguan?"
"Your Majesty, don't ask more." The man smiled and said, "It's not too late. The Marquis and the others are waiting for Lord Chu to come. Miss Lin must also be looking forward to Lord Chu's arrival soon." He turned the horse on his back and took a look. He left without saying a word. Tiezhuang didn't say anything and followed him. Chu Huan's eyes twitched. Seeing that the two riders had already galloped for a distance, he looked back and finally followed with a shaking reins.
Less than five miles away from the wooden house, Qiu Ruxue had already hid in a small wood with dozens of people.
Of course, Chu Huan could not take risks alone. Although he told Qiu Ruxue not to follow in front of Tiezhuang, he had already issued a secret code, so that Qiu Ruxue would then lead people to follow, and quietly handed over the Governor's order to Qiu Ruxue.
The imperial officials not only had official talismans, but also had order talismans. The official talismans were used to stamp and seal, but they could not be carried with them at all times. However, the exquisite and small order talismans could be carried with them, which was also a token of proof of their identity.
Qiu Ruxue had a talisman and quickly went to the local government to mobilize a group of people. Then, according to the marks left by Chu Huan along the way, he followed him all the way, for fear that the other party would find him, so he did not dare to follow him too closely.
Qiu Ruxue was gathering with several soldiers at this time, drawing directions on the ground, planning how to act after arriving at the destination, arrange open and secret soldiers, and once they take action, they will be divided into two groups.
While planning, a scout who was inquiring about the situation rushed over and reported, "The Governor arrived at a wooden house where a man was waiting, and then the Lord left with the man."
Qiu Ruxue frowned, and immediately got up, and quickly came to the wooden house with a group of people. Seeing the deserted and deserted surrounding the wooden house, it was terrible. He checked inside and out, frowned, and looked solemn: "The situation is afraid that it will change."
Ma Zheng immediately said: "There were people here before. Looking at the footprints here, there were still quite a few people."
Qiu Ruxue was experienced in the martial arts world after all. After thinking for a while, he changed his color slightly and said, "No, the opponent is really cunning... If I guessed well, this was originally their stronghold, but they later moved to the place..."
Liu Suifeng said anxiously: "Hero Qiu, Lord Qiu is in danger, let's follow up and chase after him."
Qiu Ruxue quickly found the horse's footprints and said in a deep voice: "Follow the horse's trails, let's chase after you."
The hatred is like blood, like an old horse who knows the way, leading everyone to pursue Chu Huan's horse traces all the way. Chu Huan's horse's horse's horse's horse's horse's horse was specially tampered with. Unlike ordinary horse's feet, it is very easy to identify. The marks left by the horse's hooves are clear and special, and very easy to track.
Qiu Ruxue led everyone to chase after him for more than ten miles. The sky was completely dark. I saw a few shadows appearing in front of me. Everyone immediately dispersed. Then they heard Qiu Ruxue say, "It's a horse." After touching it, they saw three horses tied to the wooden stake, and one of them suddenly became Chu Huan's horse.
Although Chu Huan has a divine horse like the Thunder Fire Kirin, he is not easy to ride, just because the Thunder Fire Kirin is too conspicuous. Many people also know that Chu Huan has a red-maned divine horse. If he rides a Thunder Fire Kirin, he will just expose his identity. Although this horse is not as good as the Thunder Fire Kirin, it is also a purebred Xiliang horse.
It’s just that the horse is ahead, but the person is gone.
"Everyone searched everywhere...!" Qiu Ruxue frowned, "The horses are here, so the adults should not be too far away..." The voice stopped abruptly, but he walked slowly towards the road not far away. It was only seven or eight steps away from the wooden stake that tied the horses. It was a muddy road. The traces of the road after the rain were obvious. Qiu Ruxue only glanced at it and said, "The horses did not leave, they changed the carriage... The adults changed the carriage and left."
Ma Zheng sneered: "It seems that the opponent is really cunning. I'm afraid they guessed that the adults would keep a backup plan, so they were so cautious...!"
"Follow the carriage marks." Qiu Ruxue sneered: "I see where they can run."
