Feibai is not close to Chongsheng Temple at all. Now, the entire five-mile radius of Chongsheng Temple is under martial law, and the tenants and villagers living in this area have been imprisoned. Feibai felt that something was wrong, even if they alerted Chongsheng Temple. Guard, are they overreacting too?
There's no reason to act so big just for a few people who don't know what their purpose is?
Fei Bai thought about it and found a way to bribe an ordinary soldier on patrol with a guard. Only then did he know that someone forced his way into Chongsheng Temple yesterday, and he was killed by Gao's soldiers before he even reached the gate of Chongsheng Temple. , Chongsheng Temple, which has been quiet since the rebellion, suddenly opened the door and asked Gao's people to hand over the people who broke in. The people on both sides even fought, even if those people turned into corpses, the people of Chongsheng Temple Still stubbornly demanding that Gao's people hand over the body.
There are so many things that an ordinary soldier cannot know.
Feibai returned to find Qi Haoran with the news, Qi Haoran narrowed his eyes, "Emperor Dali went to Chongsheng Temple, but Chongsheng Temple didn't show up, just to protect the lives of him and the queen, but now he's going to grab some corpses?"
Feibai nodded, "The little one also finds it strange, but unfortunately the Gao family is heavily guarded, it took a lot of effort to pry open the soldier's mouth this time, and that person is just an ordinary guard, but he can't find out more. already."
Qi Haoran turned his head to look at the "zongzi" lying on the haystack, raised his chin and asked, "Has his identity been found out?"
Feibai shook his head, not only could he not find it, but there was no news at all.
After all, this is not Daqi, and many things are inconvenient. In Daqi, they can go to the yamen to look up any classics and documents, and they can also visit and investigate openly. It is easy to find someone, but in Dali, they have to cover up. Identity, this person is very clean, except for a face, there is nothing that can indicate identity.
So he walked around and asked people around Chongsheng Temple vaguely, but no one had seen him.
Qi Haoran's heart skipped a beat and asked, "You said you went to inquire about his identity?"
"Yes, because he also wanted to break into Chongsheng Temple, so I thought he might have lived nearby, so I went to inquire, but no one has seen him."
Qi Haoran lowered his eyes and pondered, suddenly stood up, and said, "Pack up immediately, we will leave immediately."
Although Feibai and others were surprised, they immediately packed up, erased all traces, lifted the "zongzi" and left the ruined temple quickly.
Qi Haoran paused at the fork, and immediately pointed to the mountain forest road across the river: "Let's cross the river and enter the mountain."
The group carefully crossed the river, erased the traces, and went into the mountain.
Not long after they left the ruined temple, a group of soldiers broke into the door, staring gloomily at the straw pile on the ground, and asked, "How?"
The headed scout hesitated for a moment and said: "There are no traces of people staying here, most of them have been wiped off, but the traces can be wiped off, but the smell cannot be wiped off, general, there are several hunting dogs in our army that are very useful, not as good as generals. After a while, we went back and fetched the hounds."
Gao Yuan frowned, "How much time will this take?"
"Sharpen your knives and cut wood by mistake, General, we can't find any trace of them now, and even if we try to chase them, we can't find the direction."
Gao Yuan was a little irritable and waved: "Then call someone to pick it up, I'll wait here."
Gao Yuan walked back and forth in the ruined temple twice, and asked his deputy, "You can't see a trace?"
The deputy looked around the temple, shook his head slightly and said, "I can see the traces of someone living there, but I really wanted to look for them, but I found that those traces are very common, left by beggars or passers-by."
Gao Yuan snorted coldly, and said, "This is really scary. It seems that there is nothing, but there is no trace of value to be found."
Gao Yuan waited with a cold face for nearly three quarters of an hour before the hound was brought in. The hound turned around on the ground for a long time, and Gao Yuan pointed to the pile of straw on the ground and said, "Let it focus on smelling that pile of straw."
He always felt that the pile of straw was too natural, as if no one had ever sat and lay down, but if he was the other party and came to settle in a ruined temple, in the absence of chairs and places to rest, the pile of straw was obviously the most The best choice, so that pile of straw should be where the most odor remains.
However, Gao Yuan didn't know that he only guessed that the pile of straw was indeed used. If there were no wounded, the pile of straw must have belonged to Qi Haoran, but when there were wounded, Qi Haoran was angry that the other party made him be discovered, so he just stood there. Glancing at each other there, he turned and walked away.
And other people will not take the initiative to approach people whose friends and enemies are unknown and who are hated by the master. Therefore, in addition to the people who put medicine and dressing on the dumplings, the haystack has the smell of the wounded person, and the smell of traditional Chinese medicine also accounts for it. Most of the smells that belonged to Qi Haoran were placed at the end of the exclusion by the hounds.
The hound is very smart. It chased out with the strongest smell, and soon chased to the river, but after crossing the river, the smell was much lighter. The hound took a long time to sniff before entering the forest. Turn, and finally returned to the lower reaches of the river. After crossing the river, I entered the mountains and turned around again. I came out again to the lower reaches of the river, and crossed the river...
Gao Yuan's face was ashen. At this time, no matter how stupid he was, he knew that he was being tricked. He was so angry that he kicked the scout with the hound and said angrily: "Useless thing, come here, go to the front of the army. Come, surround this mountain, even if you dig three feet in the ground, you have to find people for me."
The people behind looked at each other in dismay, and couldn't help but persuade in a low voice: "General, keep this matter low-key, not to mention that our army is now trying to annihilate the rebellion and surround Chongsheng Temple, so there are not many people available."
"General, it's better to send two teams of elite soldiers to chase, each with two hounds, even if they can go around the bend, our two teams exchange strength, can't we still catch up with them?"
Gao Yuan agreed after thinking about it, his eyes were full of haze, and he said in a low voice, "I didn't expect there are such capable people around him, no wonder he can escape."
At this time, Qi Haoran and the others were so tired that they collapsed to the ground, Feibai poked the "zongzi" that was still asleep, and sighed, "It's better for him, lying down comfortably and coming all the way, Fourth Master, we How many more turns are there?"
Qi Haoran squinted his eyes and asked, "No need to detour, there is a village down the river, let's find something to cover up the smell."
Qi Haoran looked at the lying person and said, "I don't know who this person is, but luck is good. There is a river not far away, otherwise we may not be able to get rid of the person behind."
They were a group of people with a wounded man. Although they could erase the traces and hide them from people's eyes, they couldn't hide them from the hound's nose. He still went to the river and wanted to fly and say that everyone within five miles of Chongsheng Temple had been arrested. , Since the other party attaches so much importance to the people who want to enter the Chongsheng Temple, they will not easily give up the people who have leaked their whereabouts. Qi Haoran wants to use this river to reduce the smell, and ask the people who are tracking them.
Although this method is useful, it is troublesome and the effect is slow. If the other party sends a large number of troops, they will definitely have nowhere to hide.
