Turbulent Times Chapter 657: Mysterious stalker


There is a very important pass on the northeast and southwest sides of this passage. In the northeast of Taihang Mountain is Jingxing Pass, which was controlled by the army of Han King Yang Liang, while in the southwest of Taihang Mountain is Tumen Pass, which was controlled by the Sui Dynasty Guarded by soldiers from Hedong County, people come and go here every day. Although there is not a lot of traffic, the flow of people has never stopped. Countless merchants and people pass through this strategic thoroughfare.

At noon that day, a caravan of more than ten people arrived in Tumen Town. It was a team of twelve guards guarding three trucks and a carriage with people. It looked like a traveling merchant. It's just that the horse pulling the carriage is extremely handsome, half a head taller than the Turkic horses in the north, and its eyes often flash with violent colors, but its hair is a bit weird, it is actually shining in the black. With blood red.

Although it has been more than 20 years since the founding of the Sui Dynasty, the road is not peaceful, especially in the Taihang Mountains, there are often small bandits and bandits appearing, and their targets are mainly concentrated on wealthy businessmen with low social status , For the travel of rich families, the bandits did not dare to kill and take away their goods. They were also afraid of making a big incident and causing the army to encircle and suppress them.

Tumen Town is located outside Tumen Pass, which belongs to Shiai County. It is less than ten miles away from Tumen Pass. At least 80% of them are opening stores.

Winding upwards along a cobblestone road in the town, there are wine shops, inns, brothels, gambling halls, cabinet shops, grocery stores, mules and horse shops, mansion shops, etc. on both sides, and there are almost everything that one expects to find. There are as many as seven or eight families.

A young man who was the leader of the twelve caravan guards took a look at the town, steered his horse to the side of the carriage, and whispered to a pair of young men and women inside: "My lord, do you want to eat in the town?" Let's go after lunch!"

The young man is Shen Guang, but inside the carriage are Wang Junlin and Nie Xiaoyu dressed up as caravan owners and maidservants. The twelve guards were Shen Guang's group of six ghost-eyed masters and six sword servants led by Shan Xiongxin.

There were two old men driving the carriage, one lacked an arm, was tall and mighty, and held a whip in one hand, and the other was drowsy, with wrinkles on his face that could trap flies. He was about to fall off the carriage, but strangely, his **** seemed to be stuck to the carriage, no matter how steep the road was, he never moved from that position. That's right, these two old men are the Spring and Autumn Slave and the original Spring and Autumn Valley Master. The current Spring and Autumn Old Slave and the current Spring and Autumn Valley Master are Nie Xiaoyu.

Both Wang Junlin and Nie Xiaoyu left the capital. Chunqiu Nu and Chunqiu Laonu are two extremely powerful, but they wholeheartedly regard Nie Xiaoyu as their master. They have been hiding in the dark as their trump card, but now that the situation has changed, they simply let the two of them dress up as grooms.

They walked through towns and counties all the way, with all burly figures and sturdy horses. They encountered countless interrogations and suspicions along the way, but they had pass cards issued by the Taishou of Hedong County in person, and they also had money to deal with. In the end, it became scary.

Ahead is the Tumen Pass. After passing the Tumen Pass, they will enter the territory of Bingzhou. According to the plan, they will get in touch with the two most important confidants under Yang Liang's command, Xiao Mahe and Wang Wei. Although before departure, Chen Danying told Wang Junlin of her status in the South China Association, as well as the identities of Bingzhou Xiao Mahe and Wang Wei in the South China Association, and handed him the token of the saint, but can Xiao Xiao's identity be obtained? Before Wang Junlin saw the trust of Maha and Wang Wei, he didn't have the slightest confidence.

However, their lineup is not small this time, and there is a dark hand like Luo Yi, and the most important thing is that they have Nie Xiaoyu, who is like a dangerous detection radar. Getting out shouldn't be much of a problem.

"There is a person following us all the time." Inside the carriage, Nie Xiaoyu said suddenly.

"Who?" Wang Junlin asked with a frown. If Shen Guang and Shan Xiongxin were not discovered, especially if they were not discovered by him, then the people who followed them were no small matter. As for being discovered by Nie Xiaoyu, it was really normal. Sometimes Wang Junlin thought to himself, even if there really were ghosts in this world, Nie Xiaoyu might be able to spot and see ghosts.

"It should be a woman, and this woman should be related to No. 1, because she actually has a way to block my detection." Nie Xiaoyu said expressionlessly.

Wang Junlin's pupils shrank suddenly, murderous intent flashed in his pupils, and he said in a deep voice, "Can you find out where this woman is now?"

Nie Xiaoyu said: "There are too many strangers here, and the interference is too great. I only know that she is in this small town, and I can't determine her exact location. With no extra people, I can easily find where she is."

Wang Junlin thought for a while, and said to Shen Guang who was outside the car window: "Shen Guang, pass on the order, we will not rest in the town, continue on our way, and enter Feihu Xing."

Feihu Xing is a well-known passage in the north of Taihang Mountains and one of the Eight Xings of Taihang. For Yuli, Feihu Gorge is about several miles wide, with deep gullies and dense forests all the way, and the road is very complicated. It is the most important passage from Hedong County to Bingzhou except Tumen Path.

It's already mid-August, and the direct sunlight is starting to become a bit hot. In addition, it has just rained a few days ago, making Feihu Gorge extremely humid and hot.

Wang Junlin and his party entered the Flying Fox Road, and they only walked for more than 30 miles in half a day. At this time, they were walking on a rugged and narrow mountain road. Walking on the mountain road is because the carriage was designed and built by Nie Xiaoyu, and the horse pulling the carriage is a blood-maned horse. If it were any other carriage in the world, it would not be able to walk on this road.

Shen Guang walked in the middle of the team. He frowned and looked at the surrounding terrain. The mountain road was very narrow, only eight feet wide, with cliffs tens of feet high on both sides. The narrow mountain road went all the way up. Five or six miles away, there is a narrow line of sky overhead. If someone lays an ambush ahead, they will suffer heavy casualties.

Shen Guang wanted to speak a few times, but finally he held back. Wang Junlin could imagine the danger he could think of, even more carefully than he thought, and he knew that Wang Junlin deliberately took this route with few pedestrians. There is a reason.
