I began to understand the myriad things by chopping wood

Chapter 157 Li Tai's Comfort

Lu Laosan suddenly appeared at the Yunzhao South Gate, glanced at the corpses on the ground, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then he frowned slightly.

"This Deng Wan actually went straight into the city? He wanted to take advantage of me?"

His face darkened, and after thinking for a moment, he snorted coldly:
"Looking at your fat and bloated appearance, you are no longer the bandit who used to roam outside the West Gate. I'll let you run 500 miles first, but where can you run to?"

Lu Laosan paused, then quickly rushed to the west of Yunzhao and caught up with the escort team of the escort agency.

This time he didn't say a word more. He confirmed that Mu Chaoyun was not there, killed him and took the things, so that there was no more porcelain bottle with scent outside the city that would interfere with his vision. Then he went straight into the city, wanting to re-explore the trail from the beginning.

However, although he possessed a secret technique that was only suitable for long-distance tracking, he would be greatly disturbed once he arrived at a densely populated area. He could only barely make out that there was indeed Mu Chaoyun's presence in the city, but the trace of this presence was circling and spreading everywhere, mixing with the smoke and fire of the people in the city, making it difficult to distinguish, which made him very troubled.

Lu Laosan looked solemn, but not too anxious.

If this was the only method he had, he wouldn't be the big bandit who roamed the Western Desert.

He looked rough and violent, but he had great patience. No matter who he wanted to kill, no matter if they had fled to the Western Regions, the heart of the Central Plains, or the depths of the desert, as long as they had offended him, he would chase them thousands of miles away and take their heads back to hang on the tower of the Western Desert Oasis City.

What's more, this is the Black Book...it cannot be discarded lightly.

Lu Laosan used a secret method to identify the trace and breath, and first came to the Longteng Escort Agency, confirmed that this was the source, and prepared to start from the beginning.

He paced quietly in the courtyard, his eyes sweeping over the flower beds and under the trees, then walked into the house and glanced at the desk, wooden barrel, and bed.

In addition to Mu Chaoyun, he also remembered Xie Yuan's breath firmly.

In his eyes, which were using secret techniques, there seemed to be a faint trace in these places, winding forward. And in his eyes, each person's trace was different. He enhanced his memory and compared it with the complex aura in Yunzhao City, and he was able to find the tail of the two people and track them all the way to the end of the world.

Just when Lu Laosan felt that it was almost time, he suddenly heard two footsteps outside the yard, and a woman's charming and somewhat anxious voice:

"...Why did they suddenly come out in full force? What's the big deal? Did Chief Xie go too? Hey, you're such a doorman, you really don't know anything!"

"I am only responsible for guarding the door, so I really know very little..."

"If I had known earlier, I would have come directly to the escort agency. Why are you still being so reserved with grandma?"

The woman seemed to be talking to herself.

Lu Laosan narrowed his eyes slightly inside the door. He just went straight into the escort agency and was too lazy to disturb others. It was not because he was kind, he just didn't want to bother anyone.

If someone comes to his door, he will kill him without any hesitation.

He carried the saber lazily, waiting for the two footsteps to get closer, with a hint of cruelty on his face.

He's been running for so long but hasn't found the culprit. Just when he's feeling very unhappy, someone comes to let him vent his anger!
Old San Lu took two steps and moved to the center of the courtyard gate, waiting for the woman and the doorman outside to open the door and give them a surprise.

coming……

Lu Laosan listened silently and felt that his footsteps were only a few steps away from the courtyard gate. He twitched the corner of his mouth and was about to take down the knife when he suddenly found that the two men had stopped.

Just five more steps, no, four more steps and the door will be open, why not come?
Just as Lu Laosan was puzzled, the courtyard gate suddenly opened.

Li Tai stood at the door, expressionless, looking at Lu Laosan quietly.

Time stood still for a moment.

Lu Laosan's mouth slowly opened wide, and the saber in his hand was half-raised, but it was not right to raise it, nor was it right to not raise it.

Situ Qin hid behind Li Tai, with a gray-clothed doorman next to him.

She poked her head out and looked at Lu Lao San, her eyebrows raised immediately:
"Tai Bo, why is it this guy again? Where is Chief Xie? What did you do to Chief Xie?"

"I wasn't! I didn't, I didn't see him!"

Lu Laosan argued subconsciously, with sweat slightly on his forehead.

Too close... too close to this killer...

Damn it, this guy from the escort agency wasn’t lying to me!

Lee Taejin is here! Why the hell didn't you tell me earlier?

Li Tai put his hands behind his back, looked at him quietly, and said slowly:
"Captain Lu, what are you doing here?"

Lu Laosan's body was straightened, and he said with difficulty:

"I was just passing by..."

"Don't talk nonsense."

Li Tai said coldly.

Lu Laosan swallowed his saliva and risked his life:

"I was chasing someone and happened to come to this little escort's house."

After hearing this, Li Tai and Situ Qin both thought of the mysterious female master that Xie Yuan mentioned.

"Who are you chasing?"

"Why is she in Xie Biaotou's house?"

Li Tai and Situ Qin asked at the same time.

Lu Laosan didn't know whose question to answer for a moment, so he just took a step back quietly.

However, almost at the same time he retreated, Li Tai took a step forward, as if as agreed with him, and the distance between them was not an inch more or less.

When Lu Lao San saw this, his face changed slightly. He completely lost all hope and gritted his teeth and said:
"Li Tai, even though you are powerful, you can't necessarily defeat me easily. If you push me into a corner, there is at least a 30% chance that I will hurt the person behind you..."

"Less than 10%."

Li Tai said calmly. Lu Lao San paused, and his mood suddenly sank.

When Li Tai led his troops across the Western Desert, Lu Laosan was just a small horse bandit. He heard about the reputation of the Flying General all the time. Those horse bandit leaders who seemed extremely powerful at the time were all silent in front of Li Tai, not to mention himself who was insignificant at the time.

The bandits in the Western Desert all knew that Li Tai always kept his word. At that time, the oasis cities in the Western Desert were so quiet that no one would pick up anything on the road, and no one would lock their doors at night. This was because when the Western Expedition Army was stationed there, the King of Pingxi asked Li Tai to be in charge of the security of the area. Whenever someone committed a crime, Li Tai's cavalry would go out and capture him overnight. If there was a strong man or a master, Li Tai would personally take action and capture him.

At the beginning, it was the royal family of the Three Kingdoms. Li Tai issued a military order, saying that if he could be captured in one day and night, he would be captured in one day and night, let alone other small thieves? Thousands of miles of raids, endless pursuit... It was the fully upgraded, Flying Dragon List Grandmaster version of himself. Lu Laosan felt that his ability was surrounded by a larger hexagon, and he really had no temper in front of Li Tai.

Is it going to fail here today?
Lu Laosan held the saber tightly, his hands were sweaty, and his expression changed again and again.

Just when he felt that he could not bear the pressure and wanted to take the initiative, Li Tai suddenly spoke:
"Tell me what you're after, and then you can go."

Lu Laosan was stunned for a moment, and when he saw Li Tai's serious expression, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

He seemed to have fought a great battle and said tiredly:
"He's from the Mu family in Beidu Mountain. He has the treasure I want... Goodbye!"

After saying this, Lu Laosan suddenly retreated. Seeing that Li Tai did not move, he was surprised and flipped over and went out of the courtyard wall.

When he was in the air, he couldn't help but look back at Situ Qin, feeling a little surprised and doubtful.

Li Tai is a pragmatic person who never tells lies. If he says only 10%, then it is probably true.

If he was willing to let me go, it was probably because his own life was not worth the less than 10% chance of the people behind him getting hurt.

Could it be that the young lady who could make Li Tai so anxious was that...

Thinking of the name that still dominates the Western Regions today, Lu Laosan's scalp tightened. He didn't dare to look at it anymore and left directly.

Situ Qin pursed his lips and muttered:

"Tai Bo, why let him go? He might go after Captain Xie."

"Miss, he was too close to you. Even though he couldn't touch you, there's a chance that he could cause harm to you. What if he did?"

Li Tai shook his head.

Situ Qin curled her lips and frowned:

"Tai Bo, that is indeed the female master of Beidu Mountain. But what could it be that would make the bandit leader keep tracking her? And how did it involve Xie Biaotou?"

Li Tai quickly turned around the courtyard. The master's eyesight naturally allowed him to deduce many things. He pondered for a moment and organized his words:

"It should be that the Grandmaster visited again after having an encounter with Escort Leader Xie, but was still discovered, so he started to flee. The escort agency went all out today, probably to cover up for them... So they may not have gone far."

Situ Qin keenly grasped the key point, and opened her lively eyes as wide as she could:
"Taber, are you saying that they have been living together all this time?"

Li Tai said carefully:
"Maybe in a few days, maybe less than a month..."

"Maybe, less than a month? Then there is a high probability that it will be more than a month!"

Situ Qin's delicate face fell and she bit her lip slightly:

"I said you didn't come to see me for so long, it turns out..."

Li Tai quickly comforted:

"It's all right, miss. Even though they're in the same room, they're using two bathtubs."

"What? Two tubs? They're bathing together!"

She ran into the house and saw the second barrel. Her eyes widened and her fists clenched subconsciously.

"Miss, this, using two bathtubs, this is a good thing..."

Li Tai didn't know what to say, so he could only scratch his head and shut up.

Situ Qin's mouth drooped, and she wanted to cry but had no tears.

She took a deep breath and walked around Xie Yuan's room.

"Still writing here... Humph, your handwriting is so beautiful, you vixen."

"This flower garden must have been created by her. She spends all day studying these charming things..."

“Zangetsu! He, he actually threw away the axe I gave him again!”

Situ Qin could no longer hold back, her face darkened, she gritted her teeth and said to Li Tai:

"Tai Bo, quickly catch up with Captain Xie!"

"Miss, that won't work. What will happen to your safety if I leave? I can't leave you here alone."

Li Tai shook his head.

Situ Qin immediately said:

"Then send a letter and ask Aunt Hong to set off to Yunzhao immediately! Then Taibo, you go after them!"

"That's feasible."

Li Tai nodded, took out a jade pendant and pressed it, and saw a flash of light on it, then nodded:

"Miss, don't worry. Although Third Lu is quite capable, Chief Xie is a lucky man. He doesn't seem to be unlucky. And he has this helper by his side."

"That's what I'm worried about."

Situ Qin's tone was deep and the meaning was hard to understand:

"If I can't catch up, I'm afraid it will be too late..."
