Chapter 113 Night Journey
……
"Da Jin, please also send Shun Cheng's luggage over. Even though it's June now, you know where the Jingwu Hall is."
As Suan spoke, he took out a bundle from the inner room and stuffed it into Dajin's hand.
Looking at the thing in his hand, Da Jin thought for a while, and then he realized how powerful that ancestor was, so he couldn't help but hold back his words of persuasion.
"Alright, this account book is getting worse." Su An looked out the window and saw that it had darkened without him noticing. He was about to order them to leave. "The chief will be inspecting the camp tomorrow, so you'll have a lot to do!"
"Then I will take my leave first..."
Su An was busy calculating the account books in his hand and had no intention of greeting him. He waved at him and continued to work.
Da Jin turned around and walked out with the bag. When he passed by Wen Shu and the others' door, he saw people gathering inside. He pursed his lips, tightened the bag in his hand, and disappeared into the night.
……
"Has the person left?" Wen Shu rolled up her sleeves, and tied the wide cuffs with strips of cloth she had found from somewhere around her wrists.
Seeing Jueyu coming from the window, he looked up and asked.
"Let's go. Girl, are you sure you want to go and have a look at this time?" Jueyu walked over, picked up the cloth strip that fell on the table, and wrapped it around her hands in circles, imitating Wenshu's movements.
"It's a good time to go now," Wen Shu said. Then, thinking of the two outsiders in the house, she asked, "Are both of them settled?"
"Don't worry, girl. I told them to guard the gate when I left just now, and not let anyone disturb the girl."
Wen Shu looked at Jueyu in front of her and found that she looked a bit like Baoju, completely different from when she first came to her side.
OK! The following is an expansion based on the content you provided:
"Let's go. The people waiting outside must be getting impatient."
After saying that, he turned around casually, picked up his sword, waved to Jueyu, signaling her to keep up with his pace, and walked quickly towards the back of the house.
Jueyu didn't dare to delay and followed closely. He saw them nimbly climb over the low wall behind the house, and the two dark shadows instantly merged into the darkness.
The dark moon hung high in the night sky, casting a cool light that illuminated the dense forest and towering mountains ahead.
Occasionally, a few frightened birds flapped their wings and flew up from the woods, breaking the tranquility of the night.
Suddenly, a burst of rapid horse riding sounds came from far away, galloping across the valley.
The noise frightened the nocturnal animals so much that they huddled in their caves, not daring to stick their heads out.
"Girl, based on what I learned from my investigation this afternoon, we are probably more than ten miles away from our target location." Jueyu controlled the horse under his crotch, while trying to get closer to Wenshu and report the situation he knew to her truthfully.
Wen Shu turned her head slightly upon hearing this, her gaze landing on Xuan Yi, who was also riding a horse beside her, and asked, "Are all the manpower ready?"
"Master, our people will be in place before dark, just waiting for your order." Wen Shu nodded when she heard this.
"I didn't think of tracking down the pirates in the Anhan area this time. I didn't expect to find out more than I thought. I didn't expect to make such a discovery." Wen Shu sighed that these people hid well. If she hadn't come here, she would have been wrong.
"I didn't expect that while tracking their tracks, I would meet the master by chance." Xuan Yi obviously didn't expect this either.
"Do you know who these people are and what group they belong to, hiding here?" Wen Shu frowned slightly, speculating secretly in her heart.
Speaking of Du Tao's group, according to common sense, at the current time point, he is busy trying to find ways to gather the people under him, and it is probably difficult for him to spare even this little energy, let alone free up his hands to do other things.
Moreover, if the people here were really connected to their Du family and had ill intentions, they would not have chosen to set up camp so close to their own village!
Therefore, considering various factors, there are only two possibilities for the identities of these people: either they are a group of brutal bandits; or they are refugees who are desperate and have to hide everywhere just to survive and save their lives.
"Whoa!" Wen Shu in front suddenly pulled the reins in her hand, stepped back and clamped her legs against the horse's belly, and the speed of the horse under her quickly decreased.
Wen Shu raised the reins high in her right hand and shouted "Stop..., stop!"
The people behind him were caught off guard and the reins in their hands were tightened, and everything became chaotic in an instant.
When the horse under him stopped being restless, Jueyu asked, "Girl, what happened..."
"Get off the horse, get off first," Wen Shu frowned and turned to order.
After stopping, Xuan Yi also found something wrong. It was only a short distance away, and it was impossible that there was no one around at this time of night.
What's more, during the day, he saw dozens of people here, including a group of people they arranged. Where did they go?
Wen Shu, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped. She loosened the reins in her hands, then bent down and carefully put her ears close to the ground.
She seemed to be looking for something, constantly changing the position of her body and listening carefully to the sounds coming from underground.
After a long while, Wen Shu finally stood up, but her face had turned ashen.
She stared at Xuan Yi behind her with a sharp gaze and asked sternly, "Are you sure those people are really just ahead?"
Hearing Wen Shu's question, Xuan Yi's heart tightened, and a layer of fine beads of sweat instantly appeared on his forehead. He bowed and replied quickly: "Master, I can confirm that those people are indeed staying in the village ahead.
Moreover, to ensure that nothing goes wrong, I have specially left behind a dozen brothers to secretly monitor the surrounding areas. There will be no mistakes!"
In fact, at this moment, Xuan Yi was already feeling uneasy.
Since arriving at this place, the routes they have taken have been carefully considered and selected by him.
According to common sense, there should be people standing guard at regular intervals on this road.
But now, after walking all the way, I haven't seen even a single person. This is really too abnormal.
Thinking of this, Xuan Yi hesitated for a moment, then reached out and casually picked a green leaf from beside him.
He skillfully used the unique code within their organization, imitating the sound of birds singing, and sent out several signals in succession.
However, what was surprising was that in this silent forest, apart from the sounds he made himself, there was no other response.
"Master...why don't you let me go and check it out in front?" After a long silence, Xuan Yi finally plucked up the courage to speak.
After he finished speaking, he raised his foot and prepared to walk towards the village.
