"I've met Hall Master Jiao!" Xue Yun winked at Bai Xiao and others and quickly stepped forward, bowing and saluting.
“I’ve met Hall Master Jiao!” Bai Xiao and the others also quickly stepped forward and saluted.
Compared to Bai Xiao, the others were obviously a little nervous when they lowered their heads.
Xue Yun said before that under normal circumstances, there are only thirty guards here, one of whom is a deacon-level guard.
But now Hall Master Jiao suddenly appeared, and it seemed that there were more than thirty people here, at least sixty or seventy.
This completely disrupted their plan.
"Hmph! Did you see Du Mu and the others on your way back?" Hall Master Jiao looked at everyone casually and asked Xue Yun.
"Deacon Du? No! Have they also gone out to perform tasks?" Xue Yun asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"It shouldn't be! They just left in the morning. Logically speaking, they should have just left Changqiu City by now!" Hall Master Jiao also looked confused at this time.
"This is normal. Maybe he left through other gates when we first entered the city." Xue Yun said.
"Impossible! Do you know what mission he took?" Hall Master Jiao denied.
"What mission?"
"Same as you, arresting Cheng Yu, how could he get out through other city gates?" Hall Master Jiao said.
"The same mission as us? Haven't we already accepted the mission?" Xue Yun said.
"You? Do you know how long it has been now? Have you completed your mission now? Did you kill Cheng Yu or capture him alive?" Hall Master Jiao asked disdainfully.
Obviously, he did not believe that Xue Yun could complete the task at all.
"I..." Xue Yun was speechless. He really couldn't answer this.
However, if he knew that Cheng Yu was by his side, what would his expression be like?
Of course, now there is a bigger trouble.
The appearance of Hall Master Jiao disrupted their plan. He didn't know what Cheng Yu planned to do now, so he was anxious.
"Hmph! The King of Foreign Affairs already knew that you couldn't catch Cheng Yu, so he sent Du Mu and others to support you, but you ran back first. What on earth is going on?" Jiao Tang The Lord continued.
"Hallmaster Jiao, you can't blame us. This Cheng Yu is really too powerful. Even Deacon Song has lost his life because of this. We can only come back for help!" At this time, Bai Xiao Stand up and reply.
"Hmph! A bunch of trash, how can Cheng Yu still have three heads and six arms? Now that he's back, come with me to see Elder Leng!" Hall Master Jiao said.
"This..." Xue Yun was shocked. If he went to see Elder Leng now, wouldn't it be even more chaotic?
"Is there any problem?" Hall Master Jiao said with a cold face.
"We have come all the way, and it is so dusty. It seems inappropriate to go see Elder Leng like this. I want to go back and wash up first, and it would be more appropriate to change my clothes and see Elder Leng again!" Xue Yun's mind changed. , said.
"Elder Leng is very concerned about Cheng Yu's matter. Now that he is back, he should go to see him as soon as possible and explain the situation clearly. Why are there so many false courtesy!" Hall Master Jiao said.
"Hall Master Jiao, there is something I don't know whether I should tell you or not!" Just when Xue Yun was in a dilemma about how to refuse, Bai Xiao spoke again.
"What's the matter?" Hall Master Jiao looked at Bai Xiao and frowned.
He especially dislikes people who don’t understand dignity. When he was talking to the deacon, it was not the turn of a young disciple to speak.
However, he also wants to hear what the other party has to say first. If it is not something important, it is not too late to get angry!
"I didn't think about it before, but when I heard Hall Master Jiao just say that Deacon Du also led the mission out, it reminded me of a strange thing we encountered on the road when we came back. ." Bai Xiao said.
"What's weird? Come on, tell me!" Hall Master Jiao obviously didn't like to see this disciple playing tricks.
"It's like this. Not more than a few hundred miles east of Changqiu City, we saw a few corpses! If they were just ordinary corpses, that would be fine, but the problem is, these corpses are... They are from our outer dynasty, and we found these identity tokens on them." Bai Xiao said and took out a few tokens.
"This...is this our eagle token?" Hall Master Jiao was shocked when he saw that there was an eagle on the token.
The eagle pattern represents that the person's identity belongs to the foreign king's family.
Although Xue Yun is not his person but belongs to another hall master Feng Lin, they are all directly affiliated to the Waiwang lineage, so their identity tokens are all eagle tokens.
The token Bai Xiao took out now was the Eagle token, which showed that the corpses they encountered were from their lineage.
"Exactly, we were very surprised before and didn't know why they died there. But now that Hall Master Jiao said that Deacon Du led people out, I wonder if these corpses Are they one of them?" Bai Xiao said.
"This...should be impossible. If something happened to them, they should have come back long ago. But now that you have all come back and you haven't seen them, it shouldn't be them. !" Hall Master Jiao thought for a while and said.
"But they all hold eagle cards. I just don't know if anyone else among us has left Waichao during this time?" Bai Xiao said.
"No, except for you two groups, no one from the hawks has left in the past few months. Of course, there are none on our side, but we don't know about the other side!" At this time, the guard and deacon Gao Feng stood up and said.
"There shouldn't be. We have indeed not sent anyone else during this period!"Thinking of this, Hall Master Jiao became more and more convinced that these corpses might be related to Du Mu and the others.
"Oh! By the way, now that I heard what everyone said, I remembered that this thing does seem to belong to Deacon Du!" Just when Hall Master Jiao was hesitant, Xue Yun looked at Looking at Bai Xiao, he suddenly woke up and quickly took out a string of tassels.
"This is..." Hall Master Jiao's eyes tightened even more when he saw this thing.
This string of tassels is not an ordinary string of tassels. There is an earthy yellow crystal on it, which is obviously used to enhance the power of the magic weapon.
"Hallmaster Jiao, does this look like the thing on Deacon Du's pair of big hammers?" Xue Yun asked.
"Yes, this is the tassel on the crescent hammer. It can increase the power of the magic weapon by 10%. I didn't expect that this thing would be picked up by you. Is something really wrong with him?" Hall Master Jiao's expression The weather changes.
"Hall Master Jiao, I think if this thing really belongs to Deacon Du, then they are very likely to have been attacked.
But we have looked for it. Although Many corpses were found, but Deacon Du and the others were not found. They only picked up a bunch of tassels, which shows that their lives may not be in danger.
It's just that they were attacked but did not come back. It means they may be in trouble, so if we rush over at this time, we may be able to find them or save them!" Bai Xiao said.
"Yes, that makes sense! Then I will report to Elder Leng now, and I will take some people to see the situation!" Hall Master Jiao nodded, feeling that what Bai Xiao said was quite reasonable.
"Hall Master Jiao, we are just going to check the situation now. It is not appropriate to bring too many people. What's more, Deacon Du and the others may be in critical condition now, and every moment is important to them. If we wait until If we gather people together, I'm afraid that Deacon Du and the others will miss the best rescue opportunity!" Bai Xiao quickly explained.
"That's true, but I only brought thirty people with me now. Isn't that too few people? More than a thousand of them were attacked, which shows that they also have a lot of people." Jiao The hall master frowned.
"What does this matter? We still have more than a hundred people here!" Bai Xiao said.
"You? Aren't you going to see Elder Leng?" Hall Master Jiao said.
"I can do anything to see Elder Leng, but Deacon Du and the others may not be able to hold on for long. Besides, if we don't go, how will Hall Master Jiao find a place?" Bai Xiao said .
"That's fine! With more than a hundred of you, it should be enough. Xue Yun, do you have any objection?" Hall Master Jiao looked at Xue Yun and said.
Now he has a good impression of Bai Xiao, and even appreciates him a little.
At least he is much better than this Xue Yun. You have to pay close attention to him in the future. Maybe you can arrange this person under you in the future.
"Hall Master Jiao said, "I don't have any objections. I will take people to follow Hall Master Jiao right now." Xue YunyouHe somewhat guessed what Cheng Yu wanted to do.
Now that he has spoken, he will definitely follow Cheng Yu's lead. As long as everything is done as he says, it will definitely be what Cheng Yu wants.
"Very good! If Du Mu and the others are really rescued this time, then I will ask Hall Master Feng to take credit for you. Even if you don't catch Cheng Yu, I can still do it for you." Ask Elder Leng for mercy." Hall Master Jiao felt much better when he saw Xue Yun acting like this this time.
To be honest, if Xue Yun and the others are willing to go, it is indeed the best.
Not only did it save him time, but if something unexpected happened and they died, it would not be his people, but Feng Lin's people. It was simply killing two birds with one stone.
"Thank you, Hall Master Jiao!" Xue Yun suddenly showed great joy on his face!
"Hall Master Jiao, do I need to report this matter to the superiors?" Seeing them leaving, Gao Feng quickly followed and asked.
"No need for the moment. If we haven't come back in three days, then you can report to the superiors and bring people to support!" Hall Master Jiao thought for a while and said.
This is a good opportunity to make meritorious deeds, not just for Xue Yun and the others.
If something happens to Du Mu and the others, and when he rescues them, Elder Leng will definitely record him a merit, and even becoming the main hall master is not impossible.
So how could he give up such a good thing to others!
Go and see the situation first, unless you really have no choice.
However, he did not feel that he really had no choice. He is the deputy hall leader of Baiyang Waichao, and his strength is profound, which is not comparable to ordinary people.
For a great deacon like Du Mu, even ten of them would not be a problem. Just because the enemy can hurt Du Mu doesn't mean he can be compared with him!
