At the same time, Qin Shaoping deliberately woke up earlier than usual and hurried to the martial arts practice field.
In the past few days, he and Ziyue had a certain level of friendship. After hearing about him from his master yesterday, he naturally couldn't wait to share it with him.
"No wonder the five supervisors didn't open their mouths to accept him as a disciple. It turns out that someone more important has taken a fancy to him.
But thinking about it, with Junior Brother's talent, it would be abnormal if he wasn't valued.
With 'him' interfering, the five supervisors naturally had to give up. "
Qin Shaoping walked around the martial arts practice field, feeling happy for Ziyue.
"Why is he so slow today?
He usually comes early, right? "
Looking at the sky, Qin Shaoping was a little puzzled.
In the past few days, no matter how early he woke up, when he arrived at the martial arts practice field, he would always see Ziyue standing there and beginning to cultivate.
However, today, it was obviously past the usual cultivation time, but the other party still hadn't appeared.
…
Walking out of the Scorching Sun Gang branch, Ziyue looked around calmly.
He had always been vigilant against the evil ghost cultivator. Once he discovered something, he would definitely retreat without hesitation and give up on this operation.
Fortunately, there was no one around, nor were there any ghosts. Ziyue left quickly.
"The fastest way to go from Qinghe Town to Wujiang County is naturally by water. It usually takes half a day to reach.
However, that Sixth Liu offended the Water Immortal, the head of the water bandits. Going by water can only be said to be walking into a trap.
Therefore, he will definitely take the land route. "
Ziyue analyzed in his heart, but his footsteps didn't stop.
During the two months in the Pearl Restaurant, he had to get up early and go to the slaughterhouse in the dark every day. He had long been used to walking at night, so he was very fast. Soon, he walked out of North Street and gradually came to West Street.
In the distance, the city gate of Qinghe Town was in sight.
He naturally wouldn't go to the entrance of the Wuwei Escort Agency to wait. Not only would he be easily discovered, but there was also no need to.
Therefore, the path he chose was the path they had to take.
"From Qinghe Town to Wujiang County, there are a total of three roads.
One of them was an official road, one was a small road, and the last one was a mountain road.
Among these three roads, the middle section of the official road is occupied by the Ghost Head Stronghold. It should not be their first choice. "
The deterrence of the Ghost Head Stronghold in Qinghe Town was still very strong. It was enough to make children stop crying.
This time, Old Sixth Liu must have taken all his belongings with him when he escaped from Qinghe Town. Once he met the people from Ghost Head Stronghold, he would be skinned alive even if he didn't die.
Therefore, Ziyue judged that they would take the other two paths.
Regardless of whether it was a small road or a mountain road, they would all pass through a place.
"Ox-Head Mountain!"
Before Ziyue decided to make a move, he had already investigated everything.
The small path and the mountain path diverged at the Ox-Head Mountain.
"Therefore, if the water bandit leader, the Water Immortal, wants to kill Sixth Liu, she will definitely set up an ambush in the area of Ox-Head Mountain.
As for me, I need to find a place to hide in the vicinity. "
Ziyue thought to himself.
He had never planned to take the initiative to kill Old Sixth Liu.
Let's not talk about the other party's strength.
If he had the confidence to take on this escort, the Wuwei Escort Agency would definitely send out smart and capable people to ensure that this escort could be completed smoothly.
No matter how confident Ziyue was, he didn't dare to clash head-on with the people from the escort agency.
There were three levels of external forging: external forging of the skin, external forging of the flesh, and external forging of the muscles and bones.
Ziyue estimated that he hadn't started external forging yet. He had only cultivated the Straight Punch to the Greater Success stage and the Eighteen Consecutive Strikes to the Lesser Success stage. At most, he would be able to contend against a martial artist who had external forged the skin.
Against a powerhouse who had external forged the flesh and even external forged the muscles and bones, he would be powerless.
Boom!
When Ziyue approached the city gate, it happened to open.
Outside Qinghe Town, there were already some villagers carrying their own fruits and vegetables. They lined up one by one and paid the entrance fee before they could enter.
Naturally, they didn't have to pay to leave Qinghe Town. At this time, there were actually some people who were in a hurry to leave the town like Ziyue.
He joined the crowd and walked out of the city gate inconspicuously.
There was a seven to eight li official road from Qinghe Town to Ox-Head Mountain. It was about ten feet wide and could allow a horse carriage to gallop through.
Perhaps it was because of the rain earlier, but there were still some puddles on the road. However, in the cold winter wind, they had already frozen into ice.
Occasionally, when he stepped on the ice, there would be a creaking sound.
Ziyue's pace was very fast. He sped through the seven to eight li official road and then directly stepped onto a small path on the side.
After thinking for a while, Ziyue didn't continue to go deeper through the small path. Instead, he directly went up the small hill beside the small path and hid in a thick bush.
From here, he could directly see the passers-by on the official road and the small path.
He guessed that the people from the Wuwei Escort Agency would probably take Old Sixth Liu to Wujiang County through the small path or the mountain path.
However, it was better to be safe than sorry.
Even he could analyze that the people from the Wuwei Escort Agency would pass by Ox-Head Mountain. Wouldn't they themselves be on guard?
Not to mention, if the water bandit Immortal in Shui also made the same judgment and set up an ambush near Ox-Head Mountain, wouldn't he be putting himself in danger if he rushed in?
He only had one life. This time, he wanted to snatch food from the tiger's mouth. Naturally, he had to be very cautious and carefully consider everything that could happen.
Therefore, in the end, he still decided to wait on this official road and the only way to Ox-Head Mountain.
At most, he would follow them for a while.
"Next, I just have to wait.
I hope my judgment is right. "
Ziyue squatted in the bush. Some dew fell on his body, making his body and mind cold. However, he ignored it.
Fortunately, there were no snakes or insects in this season. He was still very safe in the bush.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes …
Ziyue didn't dare to let down his guard. He was always paying attention to the movements around him.
From time to time, there would be people walking on the official road.
Every time this happened, Ziyue would be distracted to observe. He would only relax when he was sure that they weren't from the escort agency.
Finally, after half an hour, Ziyue's spirit was lifted.
At this time, there was a trace of light in the sky. He saw a group of people walking quickly from afar.
There were a total of five people in this group. Four of them were strong. Even in the cold winter, their sleeves were rolled up and they wore thin clothes. It was obvious that they were trained in martial arts and weren't afraid of the cold.
At this time, they were all holding weapons in their hands. Ziyue even vaguely saw the word "Wu" on their sleeves.
Therefore, he immediately judged that these four people were the escorts sent by the Wuwei Escort Agency this time.
At the same time, Ziyue also noticed that among the four people, there was a short and skinny man in his thirties. He was carrying a backpack and walking step by step.
If Ziyue guessed correctly, he should be Sixth Liu.
