Celestial being

Two days later.

Bayin once again hosted a grand banquet for Yuan Ming and his entourage. He was full of praise for his repainted hanging portrait, and even everyone around him was amazed.

After Yuan Ming responded with a smile, he talked to Fu Qing and others about the return trip.

Bayin also helped point out the best route.

After that, Yuan Ming went to Ming En Tower again and met with Hu Tu.

The Lord's Mansion had previously sent someone to inform Yuan Ming of his identity, and gave Hu Tu a large amount of compensation for the previous misunderstanding.

This made the anxious Hu Tu finally feel at ease. That day, he gave all the diners in the restaurant free of charge.

Nothing, just happy.

I don’t know what Yuan Ming and Hu Tu talked about. The next day, Ming En Tower was closed.

Neighbors only thought that Mr. Hu Tu's fortune had changed, he had climbed into power, and he was enjoying happiness.

Two days later, under the escort of a group of lord's palace guards, the original group left Tiehu Town and returned to Dajin.

On the carriage that was guarded by everyone, Hu Tu asked excitedly: "Can I really go to Dajin?"

"Young Master arranged it this way." Fu Qing sat opposite him and nodded.

However, Yuan Ming himself is not actually in this team.

Originally, Fu Qing firmly disagreed with this arrangement, but at Yuan Ming's request, he had a fight with Yuan Ming, and ended up losing without any suspense, so he had to agree to go separately.

As for bringing this southern Xinjiang man with him, it was also Yuan Ming's arrangement.

In addition, Yuan Ming also gave him a task, which was to take back the "Journey to the South of Master Sheng" he had written and give it to the young emperor.

At that time, this new book will also be published through Tianming Publishing House and circulated in the Central Plains and even southern Xinjiang.

In addition, Yuan Ming also wrote a secret letter and a map of Southern Xinjiang that he drew based on Southern Xinjiang classics and his own travels. It marked the locations of ethnic groups and sects such as the Kasi tribe and Biluodong. and simple cases.

"Young Master said that I can take you to the territory of Dajin, but I can't take you to the capital." Fu Qing knew that Hu Tu had an unusual relationship with Yuan Ming, and he treated him with courtesy.

"This Yuan Ming... Mr. Yuan told me, I know." Hu Tu said a little cautiously.

He asked Yuan Ming the reason, and Yuan Ming only said, "The capital is not safe" without much explanation.

It doesn't matter to Hu Tu, as long as he can leave southern Xinjiang and go to the Central Plains that he cherishes. As for the rest, he naturally has to work hard and fight for it on his own.

…

On the other side, Yuan Ming left Tiehu Town from another direction.

As a result, Yuan Ming had just left the town not far when his brows suddenly moved. As he continued to move forward calmly, a black needle weapon as thin as hair flashed out of his sleeve and disappeared silently into the nearby jungle.

Immediately afterwards, Yuan Ming turned around and looked behind him, and said slowly: "You three have been following me for so long, why don't you come out and meet us?"

"Haha, Mr. Yuan is so smart that he noticed us so quickly." With a soft sound, three figures came out.

The three of them all have Central Plains appearances. The leader is an old man with a goatee on his chin. His cheeks are sunken as if they were human, but his eyes are extremely bright and burning.

Behind them is a pair of young men and women. The woman has thick arms and legs, a tall figure, and dark skin. Although her appearance is not ugly, she does not have the slightest grace of a woman. There is a small green bag hanging on her waist, which seems to be a spirit animal bag.

As for the last young man, he has a handsome appearance, but he has a somewhat feminine look.

The men and women exchanged glances from time to time, obviously having a close relationship.

The clothes of the three people are all in the Jin style, and they all have mana fluctuations on their bodies.

Yuan Ming quietly started to explore with his spiritual consciousness. The old man with the goatee had a strong aura and was a monk in the foundation building stage. The two people behind him were both at the peak of Qi refining.

"Who are these three people? Why are they following me?" he asked.

"Young Master Yuan, please don't be nervous. The three of us are not trying to harm you. We are members of the Guangli Alliance of the Immortal Cultivation World of the Great Jin Dynasty. We are entrusted by His Majesty the Jin Emperor to come to take you home." The old man with the goatee said.

"The emperor sent you here? Then why are you so sneaky?" Yuan Ming asked as the figure of the little emperor appeared in his mind.

"The Emperor of Jin already knows about the assassination of the previous mission, and also knows that General Yuan has sent people to southern Xinjiang. He is just worried that the other party will not die. To ensure that nothing goes wrong, we have asked us to act in secret and escort you back to the Jin Dynasty safely. Young Master Yuan If you don't believe it, you can check this thing. This is an autographed letter from His Majesty the Emperor of Jin to you." The old man with a gray beard took out an envelope sealed with fire paint and handed it over.

Yuan Ming used the object-repelling technique, and the envelope flew over and floated in mid-air.

Without touching the envelope, he moved his fingers slightly and the envelope opened automatically, revealing a letter.

"Young Master Yuan's object-repelling technique is so exquisite that I am ashamed of myself." The old man with the goatee praised.

"Thank you." Yuan Ming said modestly and looked at the letter.

The handwriting on the letter was indeed the little emperor's, and the content was the same as what the old man with the goatee said.

The letter also introduced the names of the three people. The old man with a goatee was named Xu Changqing, the powerful dark-skinned woman was named Liu Su, and the handsome young man was named Lin Liumu.

"It turns out it's Senior Xu, Fellow Daoist Lin, and Fellow Daoist Liu. Yuan has been in danger many times recently and has to act with caution. I offended you a lot just now, so please don't blame me." Yuan Ming said with his hand in hand.

"It's human nature, so it's okay. What are Mr. Yuan's next plans? His Majesty the Jin Emperor gave instructions before leaving, asking me and three others to cooperate with you." Xu Changqing returned the salute and asked.

"Since the three of you were ordered to take me back to Dajin, you should have already thought of a plan to go back. I would like to hear your opinions first." Yuan Ming thought for a moment and asked.

"Although it is still unclear who originally wanted to murder the young master, the enemy is hiding. We must be careful. We have prepared two ways to return to Dajin. One is to take my flying magic weapon and fly directly back to Dajin. . I am not boasting, but this magic weapon of mine comes and goes without a trace. Even the monks in the foundation building stage are very few people who can catch up." Xu Changqing talked eloquently, a white light flashed in the palm of his hand, and there was an extra foot-long one. The white jade shuttle exudes a trace of white light on its surface.

"What about the second method?" Yuan Ming looked at Yusuo and asked noncommittally.

"The second one is to blend into a caravan. There is a caravan from the Great Jin Kingdom in Luyun Town, fifty miles east of here. Now it is about to return. I have some friendship with the caravans from the Great Jin Kingdom. I can He blended in without anyone noticing and returned to Dajin under the cover of the caravan." Xu Changqing looked to the east and said.

Yuan Ming was silent after hearing this.

"Master Yuan, you can think about it slowly, but we'd better leave first. There's no guarantee that there won't be enemy spies in Tiehu Town." Xu Changqing reminded.

The four of them were standing not far outside the town, and they all had Central Plains appearances, so they were indeed quite conspicuous.

"Okay, let's go to Luyun Town first. I'll think about it carefully on the way." Yuan Ming said.

Xu Changqing and the three of them had no objections.

The group of four people headed east, and soon they were far away from Tiehu Town, and a series of low mountains appeared in front of them.

There is no path here at all. Fortunately, the four of them are monks, so climbing over mountains and ridges is not a problem.

A trickling stream flows from the upper reaches. The water is extremely clear and seems to be a mountain spring.

"The water in this stream is good. Yuan is a little thirsty. Please bring some water." Yuan Ming's eyes lit up and he stopped and said.

"Liu Su, go get water." Xu Changqing said to the mighty dark-skinned woman.

Liu Su agreed, took out a water bag and walked towards the stream.

"I'm going to make it easier." Yuan Ming said again.

"Young Master Yuan, do it yourself." Xu Changqing pursed his lips and said with a smile.

Yuan Ming stood up and walked towards the nearby woods. Lin Liumu followed him and said, "I'm also a little anxious, let's come together."

Yuan Ming did not refuse, and the two walked into a forest not far away.

Yuan Ming raised his head and looked into the air without undressing.

"Master Yuan, don't you want convenience?" Lin Liumu asked strangely when he saw this.

"Don't worry about that. Since you are coming to kill me, we are far away from Tiehu Town and we can almost do it." Yuan Ming said suddenly.

"What do Mr. Yuan mean by this?" Lin Liumu's face changed slightly and he asked.

Yuan Ming just looked at Lin Liumu but said nothing.

Lin Liumu looked confused, as if he didn't understand what Yuan Ming meant at all.

At this moment, there was a "crash" sound behind Lin Liumu, as if someone had stepped into the jungle.

"It's you! Why are you here?" Yuan Ming looked behind Lin Liumu, his face changed drastically, as if he saw an incredible person.

Lin Liumu was startled and turned around involuntarily to look back. However, there was nothing there, not a single ghost.

He was shocked to realize that he had been deceived, and immediately turned back. Yuan Ming, who had been standing there peacefully, had disappeared, and the lush bushes not far away were shaking gently.

Lin Liumu's expression changed drastically, and he immediately chased after him, but there was no trace of Yuan Ming anywhere, and Yuan Ming's aura also disappeared without a trace.

"Yuan Ming escaped!" Lin Liumu shouted loudly.

Whizzing!

Xu Changqing and Liu Su flew over in the blink of an eye.

"Where did you run away to? You can't even see someone, what a waste!" Liu Su glared at Lin Liumu and said angrily.

Lin Liumu's face turned red, but he did not retort.

"A monk in the Qi Refining Stage can't escape from the palm of my hand, so we split up and chase him!" Xu Changqing shouted sternly, his consciousness spread out, but he couldn't sense Yuan Ming's trace.

Liu Su and Lin Liumu also searched in the dense forest, and even raised their magical weapons and slashed them in all directions.

Each bush and grass was cut off and flew away, and nearly half of the bushes were quickly destroyed, but Yuan Ming seemed to have really disappeared without any movement.

Under a low bush more than ten feet away, Yuan Ming was quietly lurking there, wearing a gray cloak given by Xiying, blending in with the surrounding green leaves.

Xu Changqing's consciousness scanned several times and found nothing unusual.

Yuan Ming's eyes flashed, and a simple test revealed that there was indeed something wrong with these three people.

Although there was nothing wrong with the handwriting of the letter, he and the little emperor had been exchanging letters since childhood. Out of youthful playfulness, there was a secret code that only the two of them knew: in the last sentence of the letter, a randomly selected word was missing. But there is none in this letter.

He knew at that time that there was something wrong with the three of them, but he pretended not to know, just to lead them to reveal their true purpose.

Seeing how ferocious Xu Changqing and the other three men were trying to find him by digging three feet into the ground, I am afraid that instead of escorting him back to Dajin, they were trying to kill people and eliminate traces of him.
