The mountains were rugged and difficult to walk, especially with horses, so it was a toss and turn, and I found a valley to hide. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The state of travel suddenly changed to an emergency hiding state, naturally because of the sense of danger.

The sudden interception made Niu Youdao perceive an unprecedented danger, this danger was beyond his expectations, it was not expected at all, and he really didn't dare to go forward without a clue!

If you don't figure this out, you don't know where the danger comes from, and you don't know how you get targeted, it's too passive!

The people settled down, and everyone looked at Niu Youdao, who seemed to be preoccupied, from time to time.

Niu Youdao stood by the stream, looking up at the bright moon above the valley.

Yuan Fang leaned over, "Dao Ye, are we going to hide here?"

Niu Youdao was indifferent, and waited for a while before he said, "Take 50,000 to supply the black peony." ”

"......" Yuanfang was speechless, and he wouldn't have come to talk if he knew it.

But the black peony came over when he heard the voice, "Master Dao, don't need it!"

Niu Youdao didn't say anything, still thinking.

Yuanfang took out 50,000 yuan and stuffed it to the black peony, avoiding it a little farther.

Looking at the golden ticket in his hand, seeing that Niu Youdao was thinking about things, the black peony didn't bother, and he probably understood a little bit of Niu Youdao's personality, since he gave it, he took it.

A fluttering sound sounded, mixed with the sound of birdsong, and the startled Niu Youdao came back to his senses, and Huo Ran turned around.

"There's a cave here. ”

Duan Hu, who was exploring in the valley, flashed back and found a natural cave, walked in to take a look, and alarmed the birds that had lived in the cave overnight.

A few people walked to take a look, and sure enough, it was a cave, to be exact, a hole in the mountain after it was cracked. It's not big, the entrance of the oblique triangle has a depth of two or three zhang.

Walking into the cave and looking, Niu Youdao: "Bring the map." ”

Duan Hu pulled out the map from the package he was carrying, there was no table here, Wu Sanliang on the side took the handle, and the two pulled it open, the picture opened in front of Niu Youdao's eyes, and the moon butterfly climbed on the rock above to illuminate.

Niu Youdao pestle sword stood in front of the map, his eyes followed the way he came all the way back, and finally landed on Duyun Mountain.

Who wants to kill him? His enemies are currently those people, and in general, those people in the Song family, and then the Yan court involved in the killing of Song Long, apart from these two waves of people, he really can't think of anyone who will run to Zhao to kill him.

And this precise interception has proved that he has been targeted, and his route has been accurately locked.

Who is targeting him? How is he targeted? If he can't figure out how he was targeted, he may fall into someone else's net at any time, and he won't dare to trespass at a single step!

At present, what he knows is that the three factions of Liuxian Sect, Fuyun Sect and Lingxiu Mountain are chasing and killing him, and the others who know his approximate route are the most likely to be Duyun Mountain.

Judging from the situation and reaction to the contact with Yun Huan, Duyun Mountain should be able to rule it out, and it is unlikely that Duyun Mountain knew that he would visit before. If he had received the news that he wanted to plot against him, he would not have let him go, and he would have been able to keep him easily, let alone have anything to do next.

Therefore, Hou Qingtian's words are credible, and Duyun Mountain only received the news of the interception after he left.

The people of the three factions can also be ruled out, if the three factions can accurately grasp his specific route, they can directly take a shortcut and intercept it personally, without borrowing the hand of Yunshan.

In this way, a third party has a precise grasp of his whereabouts.

And the reason why this third party is looking for Duyun Mountain is that there are only two possibilities, either because there is no manpower on hand who can kill him, or because of the distance, the manpower that can kill him cannot arrive in time.

It is also certain that the third party will not be able to contact the three factions of the Liuxian Sect to chase the killer, otherwise there is no need to find Duyun Mountain.

So how did the third party accurately grasp his route?

You have to find him first, and then you have to keep an eye on him.

The possibility of being targeted within the area of Star Picking City was directly ruled out by him, and the reasons for the exclusion were not to mention anything else, just like the three factions, it was difficult to grasp his precise whereabouts.

Then the targeted may be after leaving the Gobi steppe and going on the official road.

The prerequisite for staring at him is to know him, he is a little strange, could it be that there are people here who know him? In Zhao Kingdom, there are not many people who know him or know him, not to mention that they still meet him in such a relatively remote area, the probability of meeting him is too low, and he will not appear in Jinzhou again to meet Chen Guishuo, right?

"Have you noticed anything unusual along the way? Think about it, don't let go of anything abnormal. ”

Niu Youdao stretched out his hand and gestured back and forth on the route he came, his own thinking had actually been focused on the post stations along the way, there were not many passers-by in this kind of remote place, and the most common place for people was the post station along the way.

Several people pondered for a while but did not react, and they couldn't think of anything unusual.

Black Peony asked: "Master Dao, you went to Duyun Mountain to visit Yun Huan, and was intercepted and killed before?"

Niu Youdao: "No!"

Black Peony: "Then there is nothing abnormal along the way, after leaving Star Picking City and going to the official road, except for these two things, we basically didn't stop all the way, and we changed horses at the post station in the middle." ”

"Where is the post station for changing horses, help me mark it on the map, as well as Yun Huan's old nest Yunxiao Cave Mansion and the location where we were intercepted by the three bends, all of which are marked as accurately as possible. Niu Youdao commanded, turned around and said to Yuanfang: "Take out the charcoal." ”

The charcoal that can make money by drawing casually, Yuanfang carried it all the way, and the charcoal was taken out and given to the black peony.

Black Peony discussed with Duan Hu and others, and confirmed the location of the post station next to the official road, but it is not difficult to remember that the post station is quite large, it is a hub post station, near a fork in the road, and it is very well positioned. As for the location of Yun Huan's lair, on one of the main peaks of Duyun Mountain, he directly found the main peak and circled it. The location where the three bends are cut off is at a certain bend, so it is easier to find.

"Master Dao is good. Black Peony looked back and said.

Niu Youdao took the charcoal pen in her hand and carefully looked at the map, if it is standard, this map is really not standard, but compared to the ancient abstract map he knew in his previous life, it is really too standard, it is estimated that it is related to the assistance of monks everywhere, and there is the convenience of surveying and mapping.

He compared the scabbard on the map, converted the distance from a certain place to a certain place, and then marked the scale scale on the scabbard with charcoal, and then measured the marked positions of Duyun Mountain and the three bends in this scale to verify how accurate the scale was.

A series of inexplicable actions made several people look at each other, completely incomprehensible, and didn't know what he was doing.

Niu Youdao, who put down the scabbard, stood in front of the map, stared at the map and asked, "Where do you think the intermediary who contacted Duyun Mountain for the person who killed me would be?"

Black Peony smiled bitterly: "How can this be known." ”

Niu Youdao's eyes were fixed on the city of Chizhou Mansion, and he said slowly: "You two cast spells to tighten the map."

Duan Hu and Wu San did so.

Niu Youdao horizontal sword in Chizhou Mansion and Yunxiao Cave Mansion, according to the distance displayed on the scale, divided by the known approximate flight speed of the golden wing, the approximate time was obtained, and a number was written next to the map with charcoal, a number that several people could not understand.

Niu Youdao pointed at the Chizhou Mansion City, and the charcoal pen clamped on his fingertips slowly floated away by the mana, and the point was at the location of the Yunxiao Cave Mansion, and the mana that rotated out drew a circle centered on the map with the charcoal on the map.

Absorbing the charcoal pen in his hand, he silently calculated the time from leaving the post station to leaving Duyun Mountain, subtracting the time he had just obtained, multiplying it by the approximate flight speed of the golden wing, calculating the approximate distance, and once again placing the scabbard across the city of Chizhou as the starting point, and casually marking the distance point just obtained in one direction.

After pointing to the Chizhou Mansion City again, the charcoal floated to the point just now, and drew a circle with the sound of rotating mana.

Niu Youdao grabbed the charcoal pen and looked at the position of the post station, and found that the round edge just drawn had framed the post station, which was wrong with the guess.

But it doesn't matter, it would be strange if there were no errors, there is the time difference between the transmission and sending of the message, there are also errors in the timekeeping, and the map is not accurate.

And what he wants is only a rough verification, not precision.

He then drew circle after circle, constantly measuring the circles with the scabbard of his sword, and constantly jotting down some strange numbers that few people could not understand.

After doing this for a while, the pestle sword stepped forward, stared at the map, and said, "There was a problem with the post where we changed horses before, and it should have been discovered there." ”

Several people looked at each other.

Then Niu Youdao said slowly: "The news should have been sent around the time of a stick of incense after we left the post station, and after the news arrived in the capital of Chizhou, it stayed for about half an hour, and then it was sent by the intermediary to Duyun Mountain." If I'm not mistaken, the person who bought my life and the intermediary are all in the city of Chizhou. ”

When he said this, several people were speechless, and this kind of thing was as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

Black Peony tried to ask: "Master Dao, I see that you seem to have been aiming at the Chizhou Mansion City from the beginning." ”

Niu Youdao: "Chizhou Mansion City was just a hypothesis at the beginning. Those who can buy and sell people's lives can't do it if they can't stop the buyer and seller. And being able to contact people at any time to help buyers solve problems is not something that can be done by an individual, it must be an organization. I don't know how big this organization is, but the first-level center should not be in a small place near Duyun Mountain, and the location should have a certain location radiation advantage, combined with the approximate distance that can be generated in the message transmission time, I looked at it roughly, Chizhou is very suspicious, so I use it to hypothetically verify. The final estimation results are reasonable both in terms of time and distance, so the assumption of Chizhou is valid. ”
