Comprehensive Martial Arts: Relying on Pili Martial Arts to Achieve Dimensionality Reduction Attack

Chapter 496 Duan Yu's Whereabouts

"Brother Duan lent a helping hand to Yang Guo when he was desperate, and also helped heal my aunt's injuries. Now that he is in trouble, we will definitely do our best to help him."

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, we will take care of rescuing Brother Duan!"

Yang Guo was a man who clearly distinguished between gratitude and resentment. Seeing that the situation in the palace was urgent, he immediately agreed without thinking.

"I am truly grateful to the young heroes for their willingness to help."

Duan Zhengchun didn't waste any time on polite conversation. With the idea of ​​'there is no time to lose', he immediately took action. When they arrived outside the palace, they found that the horses had already been prepared.

Yang Guo was about to mount his horse when he suddenly realized that he didn't know where to go, so he turned around and asked, "Lord Duan, where has Brother Duan been captured?"

"To be honest, I don't know about this either!"

Duan Zhengchun's expression was extremely solemn: "The letter sent by Duan Yanqing did not mention where Yu'er was imprisoned. Now I can only send people to look for him everywhere."

The situation of Duan Yu being captured now is different from the original novel. Qin Hongmian and Gan Baobao did not come to the Zhennan Palace to make a big fuss and mention the name "Wanjie Valley". Duan Zhengchun naturally did not know Duan Yu's whereabouts.

Yang Guo was dumbfounded when he heard this, and murmured, "We don't even know where the people are, how can we save them?"

A retainer named Chu Wanli stepped forward and said, "The whereabouts of the Crown Prince is unknown at this time. Why don't you go to Yuxu Temple or Tianlong Temple to see what's going on?"

Duan Zhengchun was tempted, but after thinking about it, he shook his head and said, "Things have their priorities. For both public and private reasons, Yu'er's matter needs to be dealt with first!"

The death of Princess Zhennan was just a death, and it had little impact on Dali as a whole;
The Six Meridians Divine Sword Manual is gone, and there are only a handful of people in the world who can master it anyway;
But if the only heir to the country dies, that would be a big problem!

"Besides, my brother has already sent people to support the Tianlong Temple. I have also sent doctors to visit the Yuxu Temple. The most important thing now is to find Yu'er's whereabouts and rescue him from Duan Yanqing!"

Although Duan Zhengchun said this resolutely, everyone could tell that he was not at peace in his heart.

Chu Wanli advised again: "We have already sent a large number of people to investigate the prince, and I think there will be news soon. Even if you, the prince, are added now, it will not be of much use."

"On the contrary, it is difficult for me and my subordinates to handle the princess's situation. In the end, you will have to go there in person."

"This... hey... what you said makes sense."

Duan Zhengchun hesitated for a long time, but was finally persuaded. He turned around and said to Lu Ping and Yang Guo, "Then I will go to Yuxu Temple first to investigate and complete the matter."

"As for my son's whereabouts, I'll leave it to you two young men!"

"…Don't worry, Your Majesty. Leave this matter to us!"

Looking at Duan Zhengchun's back as he rode away impatiently, Lu Ping couldn't help but complain to Yang Guo: "I really suspect that all the public and private words he just said were just an act."

Yang Guo was silent for a while, and finally chose not to take up the topic: "...Brother Lu, where should we go to find someone now?"

"Wanjie Valley."

Considering that in the original novel, Duan Yu was captured by Duan Yanqing in Wanjie Valley, Lu Ping decided to go there first to investigate.

So Lu Ping led the way, and the two of them rode their horses for half an hour and arrived near Wuliang Mountain.

Wanjie Valley and Wuliang Mountain are not far away from each other. Lu Ping had just been to this area a few days ago. He didn't expect that just a few days later, he would set foot here again.

Following the map of Dali, the two men followed Wuliang Mountain to find the Lancang River, then found the iron chain bridge along the river bank. After crossing the bridge and spending some effort, they finally saw a large dark forest.

This seems to be the entrance to the Wanjie Valley, but I don’t know the specific method to enter the valley...

Thinking of this, Lu Ping suddenly laughed again.

"Why bother with so much trouble? It's just a matter of slapping it away!"

Just when Lu Ping was about to forcibly destroy the tree and explore the valley, he suddenly saw vague shadows in front of him, and there were two footsteps and voices coming from the forest.

"somebody is coming?"

Looking up, I found that the people coming were two young girls. One of them was the woman in black who was riding a horse and being chased by someone whom I met on the road a few days ago.

"Sister Mu, your injuries haven't healed yet. Are you in such a hurry to leave? Is it really okay? Why don't you stay here for a few more days?" "No, I still have things I have to do!"

"But what if you meet those people who are chasing you again later?"

"Don't worry, if I could escape from them once, I can escape from them a second time..."

The sound of the two girls' conversation came into my ears along with the wind.

If Lu Ping was only 80% sure that the woman in black was Mu Wanqing before, he was 100% sure now. As for the other younger girl, her identity was also easy to guess, and she was most likely Zhong Ling.

From the content of their conversation, it can be basically inferred that Mu Wanqing fled to the Wanjie Valley for refuge that day, which is why she did not fall into the hands of Grandma Ping, Grandma Rui and others.

Moreover, she seemed to be injured and had been recuperating in the valley for the past two days.

If that's the case, then the person who assassinated Dao Baifeng the other day wasn't her?
Lu Ping suddenly felt a little bored.

But think about it and it seems reasonable. You know, in the original book, Mu Wanqing only knew that her master "Yougu Ke" asked her to kill Dao Baifeng, but she not only didn't know what Dao Baifeng looked like, she didn't even know that the other party had become a monk in Yuxu Temple.

It can be seen that she didn't care about the assassination at all.

Since the person who assassinated Dao Baifeng was not her, then who could it be?

Lu Ping thought of those people who had chased Mu Wanqing before.

They were sent by Li Qingluo, maybe it was those people who took action?
But no matter what the truth is, Duan Zhengchun has to worry about it himself. He just needs to find Duan Yu back.

While they were thinking, the two women had already arrived in front of Lu Ping and Yang Guo.

"Hey, who are you? What are you doing here?"

Seeing two strange men standing stupidly at her doorstep, Zhong Ling suddenly became curious. When she asked them with her head half tilted, her two ponytails began to sway.

Looking more closely, I was surprised to see that both of them were so handsome.

In an instant, Zhong Ling felt her heart pounding and her cheeks turned red.

"We are looking for someone. I wonder if the two girls have seen a young man who is about 20 years old, dressed in white, handsome, modest and polite, and a bit nerdy?"

On the way here, Yang Guo had learned from Lu Ping that Duan Yu might have been captured nearby. He also judged from the conversation between the two that they might live here, so he asked.

I have to say that Yang Guo's description of Duan Yu is quite appropriate. Basically, anyone who has seen him recently will think of him as the target person at the first moment.

It’s a pity that the girl’s answer was not ideal.

"I haven't seen the person you mentioned these days."

Zhong Ling shook her head in reply, and then asked, "Did the person you are talking about get lost in this forest? Who is he to you? What's his name?"

Yang Guo didn't know how to answer this question for a moment, so he could only turn to look at Lu Ping, asking for help with his eyes.

Lu Ping smiled and said, "That man is our friend. We went out to play together these two days. When we came to this area, he suddenly said he wanted to find something to eat. I didn't expect that he would never come back."

"We were worried that something might happen to him, so we came here."

"I wonder if you two ladies are familiar with this forest. If so, could you serve as our guides?"

Yang Guo glanced at Lu Ping, not knowing why he said that, but thinking there must be a reason, so he did not interrupt and just stood aside in silence.

however……

"you are lying!"

Mu Wanqing shouted coldly, staring at Lu Ping with her eyes behind the black mask: "I saw you on the way here the day before yesterday. You were clearly alone at that time, and you pretended to be deaf and dumb to deceive the people sent by the woman surnamed Wang. Later, you were rescued by the woman in green who appeared out of nowhere. How come you say you came here to play with others? I think there is something fishy going on!"

Lu Ping: “…”

So you didn't leave at that time, you saw everything but didn't come out, right?
