Brocade legend

Chapter 363 Find Xiao Xitian

Lu Bing asked Yang Sen to take out the map, and Mu Bi first drew a circle on the map.Ke Mubi picked up the pen, thought for a while, and drew a smaller circle within that circle.

Lu Bing smiled knowingly.

The harmonious relationship with the Lisu people not only relieved Jin Yiwei from a lot of worries, but also provided a great help to the logistics of Lu Bing's five thousand troops.Not only is there enough food and grass, but it is also much safer to camp with the Lisu people next to each other.Moreover, the life experience of the Lisu people here allowed the guards in Jinyi to avoid a lot of diseases caused by acclimatization.

The guards in Jinyi spent two days in the Lisu people, and then sent out a reconnaissance team to search for the people in Mubihua.

It's a pity that the disturbance with the Lisu people was a bit big, otherwise, when the people from the White Lotus Sect came out to purchase, they would have waited for him to fall into the trap.Now, the White Lotus Sect probably won't come to the door.

So many days, but still nothing.

Lu Bing felt that he was getting closer and closer to Xiaoxitian, but that layer of fog could not be dissipated.

But on this day, a turning point suddenly appeared.

The spies of "Kouzhongxin" found the unique mark of "Kouzhongxin" on the tree.

The situation was reported to Sun Quan immediately, and Sun Quan led people to the marked place.

"Are there any around?" Sun Quan touched the symbol engraved on the tree with his hand, the surface was a little dry, at least it was left three days ago.

"My lord, there is no second sign around." Baihu, who was wearing an iron mask, replied.

"Is it one of us?" Sun Quan asked again.

"The subordinates have counted, and there are quite a few who have left Beijing this time."

"Oh." Sun Quan heard this, and immediately thought of something, and couldn't help but be overjoyed.

When "Kouzhongxin" performs tasks, if it feels that its strength is not enough, it will leave this mark on the passing place, and let the people behind follow the mark to keep up.

However, there is only this one mark here, so there are only two possibilities, one is that after leaving this mark, the spy died.Another possibility is...

Sun Quan squatted down and searched carefully around the tree.

Finally, in a mud pit three feet away from the tree, Sun Quan, with sharp eyes, found a thick fallen leaf, which was slightly undulating in a regular way...

Sun Quan stepped lightly on the quagmire covered with thick leaves, as if walking on flat ground, without sinking at all.

Sun Quan went to the fallen leaves, and gently brushed away the thick leaves with his hands, revealing a thin tube made of leaves, less than half an inch above the mud.

Sun Quan stretched out his hand, and was about to pinch the thin tube, when a short knife broke through the mud and rushed straight at Sun Quan!
Sun Quan retreated slowly, just out of the attack range of the dagger.

A figure rushed out with the dagger, but Sun Quan stood with his hands behind his back.

Just when the dagger was about to pierce Sun Quan's neck, it stopped by itself.

The filthy and smelly figure looked at Sun Quan and murmured, "My lord..."

Before the words fell, the figure fell on his back.

Sun Quan didn't shy away from being filthy, and supported the figure.

Only then did the other "words of mouth" react and were about to rush over.Sun Quan had already stepped out of the quagmire in two steps, and said, "Return to the camp immediately!" After saying that, he hugged the figure and rushed into the forest first, and the few ups and downs had disappeared.

……

"My lord! Xiao Xitian...found!" Sun Quan learned of Xiao Xitian's whereabouts from the "Kouzhongxin" spy who hid in the mud for three days, avoided the pursuit of the White Lotus Sect, and finally escaped to heaven. I came to report to Lu Bing immediately: "The spy who sent the news before was found. After he sent the news that Xiao Xitian was in Nujiang, he was imprisoned and tortured. When he was tortured three days ago, he used the secret hidden under his teeth. The medicine feigned death and was carried out of Xiaoxitian. Just when he was about to be buried alive, he woke up in time by chance, killed the two Bailian disciples, fled to a quagmire, and hid in the quagmire for three days. If we hadn't found out Without the mark he left, even if he was not starved to death under the mire, he would die of wound ulceration.

"Okay, okay!" Lu Bing heard, and said with great joy: "It's a fluke! God help me, God help me!"

The happy Lu Bing told Sun Quan: "After returning to Beijing, reward him ten thousand taels of silver! Promote a hundred households! Make up for the lack of two general flags for his children!"

Sun Quan was silent for a while, and said: "My lord, he has been tortured so much that he was exhausted. He also took secret medicine and was poisoned. After hiding in the mud for three days, he couldn't help but suffer from hunger. Even his wounds began to fester. Even a knife can't cut it cleanly...he's already overdrawn...I'm afraid he won't live long enough to return to Beijing."

Lu Bing changed his face, and said solemnly: "Good man, he is worthy of my son-in-law of Jin Yiwei! Let Mubi find the best doctor, and he must be cured!"

Sun Quan cupped his fists, but did not leave, but continued: "He said that when he was carried out, because he took the secret medicine, he didn't remember the specific situation when he came out. He just vaguely remembered the direction... He asked to leave immediately, otherwise he would I'm afraid... I can't remember..."

Sun Quan said, almost crying.

Lu Bing was also silent, he and Sun Quan both understood... what is there to be afraid of remembering!I'm afraid... I'm afraid I won't be able to find the entrance to Xiaoxitian before I die!
"Carry the bed! Spread the brocade quilt! Someone carry him comfortably!" Lu Bing ordered loudly: "Let's go immediately!"

……

In the evening of that day, Lu Bing, Shitou, Yang Sen, Sun Quan, Huang Lian'er, Dong Hai, and Zhang Ju led five thousand knights in brocade clothes, and three hundred masters with "belief in their mouths" and "needles in their tails" along the road that had gone through thousands of deaths and calamities. Guided by his spies, he came to a woodland.

Sun Quan and Huang Lian'er, who learned from Huang Duxian and were good at breaking gates and unlocking secrets, searched carefully in the vicinity and finally found a mountain wall not far away.

Sun Quan and Huang Lian'er stepped forward, pushed aside the dense vines, beat left and right on the stone wall with their hands, and pushed back and forth vigorously. Sun Quan turned back and said to Lu Bing, "My lord, it should be here."

Huang Lian'er also nodded and said: "This is a stone gate. There should be a mechanism inside to open it, but from the outside...without a lot of strength, I'm afraid it can't be opened."

Lu Bing was silent for a while, and then asked Dong Haidao: "Prepare gunpowder."

Dong Hai smiled and nodded in response. Before leaving Beijing, the thoughtful Dong Hai thought that gunpowder might be needed to open mountains and break rocks, so he brought a lot here.

At this moment, Lu Bing, who had not spoken to the spy lying on the bed along the way, finally walked up to the spy, without a smile on his face, but said firmly: "Your task has been completed, I will send someone to send you off immediately." When you return to Beijing, your last task is to return to the capital alive."

"My lord..." The spy's face was pale, but his lips were black and blue: "This subordinate... this subordinate will not live long anyway, so let me stay! Let me see what happens to them!"
