Chapter 169 Chapter 172
On the valley path, there are cliffs on both sides, and the light of the sky penetrates through the gaps in the sky, bringing extremely unstable light.

On the trail along the river at the bottom of the mountain, a group of plainly dressed people in black cloaks rode past.The river at the bottom of the valley was roaring.

The gust of wind whistled in the ears, and the cloaks were flying in the wind. The group of people was extremely fast, and they passed by in a flash. They couldn't see their faces clearly, but only saw the flying cloaks.

At this time, behind the galloping people and horses, a brown steed galloped towards them.The man on the horse was wearing a gray suit inside and a black cloak outside. With his head down, he couldn't see the face of the person coming, only the black cloak fluttering in the wind fluttered in the wind.

The whip in his hand fell violently, the horse under his feet neighed, and went straight to the large army not far away.The sound of hoofbeats echoed in the valley. The brown horse jumped up and caught up with the large army and the person leading the team at the front.

The leader raised his hand slightly, and all the people behind him stopped abruptly.In an instant, the neighing of the horse echoed in the valley.

The person who hurried to catch up with the team flew off his horse, strode up to the leader of the horse, and knelt down on one knee: "This subordinate has seen Xiangyun Zuoshi."

"Get up!" The man still held the rein in his hand, and looked down at the rushing people.

The person who came nodded and stood up, but still maintained a respectful posture: "I report to Zuo Xiangyun, my subordinates have already found out. The group of unknown people who were killed at the edge of the Guandao forest last time were not Qianyue. who teach."

The man lowered his head slightly, and glanced at the person who came to report: "Does that mean that those people are fake?"

"Yes!"

"What about the person who did it?" The eyes under the cloak were a bit unclear.

"Hui Xiangyun Zuoshi, the perpetrator seems to have deliberately concealed his identity, so his subordinates failed to find any valuable clues, but it is certain that the same person did it. We are continuing the investigation and will find out the origin of the murderer as soon as possible." Ma The people below finished their report, but they kept their report posture, some hesitated to speak.

"What else is there?" The person known as Xiangyun Zuoshi raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw the expression of the visitor.

"Well, when the subordinates searched for the news of the young master, they found that the ancient sword seems to be in the imperial city, should we..."

The wind at the bottom of the valley was slightly stronger, and the weeds by the rushing river were blown crookedly by the wind.The river is turbulent, constantly rotating in the water, and many eddies are generated when encountering reefs.

"Don't act rashly. Focus on the big things. It is more important to find the whereabouts of the little master at present." The man listened to his subordinates and looked ahead thoughtfully: "You first fly a pigeon to send a letter to the battalion guardian."

"Yes, this subordinate obeys!" After receiving the order, the man saluted deeply and immediately got on his horse and left the large army.

The huge black cloak covers the body, and the hat covers most of the face, so that everyone's face is not really seen.The leading man raised his hand slightly again, waved the whip in his hand, and the horse under his feet screamed and continued to run forward.The people and horses behind him set off together in an instant, galloping forward.

The sound of horseshoes echoed, startling the birds on the cliffs on both sides of the bank.The sound of horses' hooves echoed anxiously on the dark and narrow valley bottom path.

The cloaks on their bodies danced wildly in the wind, and the flying cloaks fluttered in the wind. As they flew past, they vaguely saw a small and inconspicuous half-moon pattern shining a little light on the belts of the group of people.

The time passed in the blink of an eye, and one hour was up soon. Although Nangong Yingxin hadn't had fun yet, she had promised those people that she would be back in an hour, so she had to be punctual.

He Yixiao gently hugged the woman who was still reluctant to part from the horseback: "Why? Reluctant?"

"That's right!" Putting his arms around He Yixiao's neck, "I haven't played enough yet."

"What a playful girl." Looking down at the woman in her arms, He Yixiao looked doting on her face, "How about taking you out next time?"

"Okay!" Hearing He Yixiao's words, Nangong Yingxin nodded, and jumped out of the purple-clothed man's arms in excitement, "Remember what you said! Don't go back on your word!"

"Okay, don't go back on your word! A gentleman's words are hard to follow."

"No, just saying that you don't feel safe! Besides, 'a gentleman's word is hard to follow' is said to a 'gentleman'! This girl is a woman! I don't believe this!" The woman looked up at the man in front of her, and suddenly had an idea. Suddenly, a ghostly smile appeared on her face, the woman directly took He Yixiao's hand, and then hooked the man's little finger with her little finger, "Let's pull the hook!"

"Hook?" He Yixiao looked at the two connected little fingers inexplicably, not knowing why.

"That's right! Once you pull the hook, you can't go back on it!" The two little fingers hooked together, and the corners of Nangong Yingxin's mouth slightly raised, muttering something.

"Remember! Don't change for 100 years!" Nangong Yingxin looked up at He Yixiao with a childlike face.

He Yixiao stood where he was, looked at the carefree woman running on the grassland, and smiled faintly.

"Brother He! Let's go! Otherwise, it's too late to go back, and those big brothers will probably get impatient." Nangong Yingxin turned around and shouted at He Yixiao who was not far away while running.

He didn't speak, but slowly followed the woman's pace, but his eyes never left the woman in front of him.

As the sun set, the golden light fell on the ground, and the two walked one after the other on the hillside, followed by a date-colored sweat horse.

Returning along the road, Nangong Yingxin said that he would rush back to join the people sent by Director Sun, but in fact...

"Brother He! Look at this, it seems delicious!" Looking back at the people following behind, Nangong Yingxin looked excited.

With just one turn, the woman in front had already run to the small vendor next door: "Wow, this is so pretty! And it's edible!"

"Wow, that's amazing! Why can you fly?" There were many people there, and there was Nangong Yingxin there.

"Well... this is delicious, Brother He, do you want to try it!" With a mouthful of crisps in his mouth, he still didn't forget to talk to He Yixiao.

He Yixiao followed the woman in front of her all the way, as long as the woman liked it, the man in purple would smile and help her into the bag without hesitation.Just walking around like this, when Nangong Yingxin and the others returned to the original agreed place, an hour had passed, and the carriage was no longer in the original place.

Nangong Yingxin stood on the spot and looked around but did not find the few people who sent them out: "Could it be that they went back before we waited?"

Everything on the street was as usual, except that the group of guards from Prince Xuan's Mansion were gone in the place where it was better to meet each other.

Nangong Yingxin stood where he was and looked around, but found nothing unusual.
