Five Elements Division.

"Sir, the news has just been sent back from the hidden post, and it was discovered that Master Wuji and his men left the Jiuyou Realm at night, and have already taken a carriage to the north gate!"

A Lanying woman quickly walked into the governor's office and loudly reported to Leng Yue.

"Escape?!"

After hearing the report from his subordinates, Leng Yue stood up directly and frowned slightly.

"Chase!"

But then she squinted her eyes and seemed to understand something. She gave an order and quickly walked out.

Soon, Leng Yue left the Wuxing Si Yamen with more than 20 Lan Ying, mounted his horse and headed straight for the north gate.

But when the group of them chased to the north gate, they found that there was no trace of the carriage at the city gate.

"Who?!"

"It turns out to be Master Leng..."

When the city gate guard saw someone galloping towards him, he gave a sharp shout, then recognized Leng Yue and hurriedly saluted.

"Did anyone leave from the north gate just now?!"

Leng Yue asked in a deep voice with a livid face.

"No...no..."

The guard's face changed slightly, he lowered his head and answered hesitantly.

"Recruit truthfully!"

"Did you know that the person who left is likely to be a wanted criminal by the court?!"

Leng Yue raised her voice and asked sternly.

"Yeah...someone did leave in a carriage..."

The guard was taken aback and hesitantly told the truth, his face full of nervousness.

When Leng Yue heard this, she immediately understood everything.

"Where are you going?!"

Leng Yue gritted her teeth and asked coldly, with murderous intent suddenly appearing in her eyes.

"Go all the way north..."

The guard shrank his neck and replied.

After hearing this, Leng Yue no longer hesitated, pulled the reins, and immediately rushed towards the city gate with his men!

At the same time, he directly pulled out the long sword in his hand and swung it out like lightning!

"Letting people out of the city without permission during the curfew! You have committed a serious crime. Come to the capital guard as soon as possible tomorrow morning to collect the crime!"

As Leng Yue finished speaking, a soldier standing next to the guard fell to the ground, and a blood mark on his neck was slowly seeping blood outward.

"Open... open the city gate quickly!"

The guard's face was ashen, he was stunned, and he hurriedly shouted hysterically to his men.

As the city gate opened, Leng Yue and his men rushed out quickly and disappeared to the north in the blink of an eye!

Twenty miles north of the capital.

Leng Yue led a group of subordinates to track them all the way, but no trace of the carriage was ever found. In addition, the night was dark and the sight was limited, so the tracking was frequently hindered.

However, on the official road that we were traveling on, there were usually people and cars coming and going, and the ruts and footprints were so messy that no trace could be found at all.

When we chased here, we encountered the first choice, a three-way intersection!

Looking at the forked roads leading to three directions in front of her, Leng Yue became hesitant, not knowing which direction to pursue.

"Sir, here!"

At this moment, a subordinate pointed to a tree on the roadside and shouted a reminder.

After hearing this, Leng Yue turned around and saw that someone had accumulated stones at the root of the tree to form a direction sign!

That's Lan Ying's sign to deliver the message!

"Chase!"

Leng Yue's eyes lit up, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, and led her men to continue the pursuit in the direction shown by the marks!

After having the first mark, they found more marks along the way, so it became much easier to track them. As time went by, they were already fifty miles away from the capital!

I don't know how long it took, but the sky was getting brighter and it was almost dawn, and the marks left by the hidden stakes were gone.

At this time, we were almost a hundred miles away from the capital, but the road became more and more remote, and before we knew it, we had reached the foot of a mountain.

Just when Leng Yue was frowning, there was a sudden sound of footsteps in the woods nearby!

"who?!"

Hearing the noise, everyone turned and looked over, as if facing a formidable enemy.

"Sir, it's me!"

Immediately afterwards, a woman wearing night clothes quickly walked out of the woods, walked directly to Leng Yue's horse, and bowed respectfully.

"See your Majesty the Governor!"

The visitor saluted and said respectfully.

"Where are the people?!"

Leng Yue ignored the pleasantries and asked directly.

"Sir, please follow me down!"

The woman in black cupped her hands, stood up and walked quickly into the woods again.

Leng Yue got off the horse and led a group of men behind the woman in black, sneaking into the woods quietly.

After a while, under the leadership of the woman in black, everyone came to an open space. There was a narrow path next to the open space, leading directly to the mountain road at the foot of the mountain.

In the middle of the open space, there was a simple thatched house, which looked like a shelter for hunters when they went into the mountains to hunt.

A carriage parked quietly beside the thatched cottage.

Seeing this scene, Leng Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief, but she couldn't figure out why Mr. Wuji bribed the city gate guard overnight to come to this remote place.

What on earth does he want to do?!

"Is the person in the thatched hut?"

Leng Yue hid in the bushes, stared coldly at the thatched house, and asked in a low voice.

"It should be inside."

The woman in black nodded and answered slowly.

But after hearing her answer, Leng Yue frowned subconsciously.

"should?!"

"Didn't you see anyone?!"

Leng Yue frowned and asked.

"When my subordinates chased me here, the carriage was already parked there and the door of the thatched cottage was closed."

The woman in black shook her head and replied awkwardly.

After hearing what the woman in black said, Leng Yue's brows furrowed even more tightly, and an ominous premonition hit her heart.

"Since you discovered this place, have you ever seen or heard any movement in the carriage or thatched cottage?"

After Leng Yue hesitated for a moment, he continued to ask.

"No...no..."

The woman in black shook her head, her expression stiff, and she seemed to have noticed something unusual.

Leng Yue narrowed her eyes, hesitated for a moment, raised her hand and gave the order to attack.

No matter what Mr. Wuji wanted to do, she had to confirm that Mr. Wuji was here, otherwise she would not be able to feel at ease.

Soon, more than twenty Lan Ying and the woman in black who had followed them all the way quickly surrounded the thatched cottage and carriage, and everyone was on full alert!

Leng Yue jumped to the side of the carriage, lifted the brocade curtain at the door, and looked inside, finding that there was no one in the carriage, not even a piece of luggage!

Seeing this scene, Leng Yue clenched her fists, and the uneasiness in her heart became more and more obvious.

At this moment, there was a creaking sound, the door of the thatched house was suddenly opened from the inside, and a figure appeared at the door of the thatched house!

Seeing someone coming out of it, all the misty figures surrounding them pulled out their weapons one after another, as if facing a formidable enemy!

Leng Yue turned around and looked, her pupils shrank suddenly, and she saw a familiar figure, it was the middle-aged guard beside Master Wuji!

That's right, the person who appeared at the door of the thatched cottage was none other than Di Long!
