After picking up Ta Bing and the other three, Lian Li and Yun Huizhou went straight back to the inn.

At the entrance of the inn, Qu Tingquan was already waiting for them with his horse. Yun Huizhou and Lian Li had already packed all their things in a bag.

At this moment, Qu Tingquan also helped them take it out and put it on his horse.

Seeing them coming, she quickly took down their bags and threw them at them, saying with a smile, "You have to carry your things by yourselves, don't crush my precious horse."

Lian Li looked at the horse beside Qu Tingquan that was so white without a trace of other colors. He remembered that Zhao Honglan also had a white horse, but the feet of his horse were black.

Thinking of the male and female protagonists' horses and Yun Huizhou's horse, Lian Li felt envious.

I don’t know if he can successfully find a suitable horse before Dahuang retires.

Riding horses is not allowed in the border town, so the three of them could only lead their horses towards the south gate.

Because General Lei had specifically instructed them to, the three of them did not need to be questioned when leaving the city and they came out smoothly.

After walking another three miles forward, the three men saw a group of people waiting there.

That group of people were all wearing dark clothes, but the styles were different. They looked like ordinary martial artists.

But their actions were swift and decisive, a quality unique to the military.

These were the people General Lei sent to escort them.

The captain of the escort team was not surprised that Qu Tingquan came out with them. He must have been reminded of this by General Lei in advance.

When the captain of the escort team saw the three of them coming, he walked over first and bowed to them.

"Master Yun, Master Lian, and Lady Qu, I will lead the team and go back to the Central Plains with you this time. My last name is Zheng."

The three of them responded readily: "Captain Zheng."

Captain Zheng said: "Just call me Lao Zheng."

The two parties simply greeted each other and set off on their journey.

The team sent by General Lei consists of ten people. Their martial arts skills are pretty good, basically the same as Lian Li's, but their styles are completely different from those of the martial arts people.

Fighting alone, any one of them is no match for Lian Li, but if ten Lian Li fight against ten of them, they will definitely win.

Even twenty Lian Li cannot defeat the opponent.

If ten people attack Yun Huizhou together, Yun Huizhou will also find it quite difficult.

They have better understanding with each other than the killers they met before, and their individual strength is also stronger than those killers.

If the people chasing them in the desert at that time were of the same level as these people, I'm afraid the two of them would really not be able to get out of the desert.

Moreover, the ten of them can be split into two groups, and when five people work together, they can also exert extraordinary strength.

If they need to spread out further, they can continue to split into groups of three or four.

But how powerful they were in different numbers, even Li and Yun Huizhou didn't know until they fought with them.

All I know is that this group of people have ordinary looks and are dressed in ordinary clothes. They don't stand out in the crowd at all, and almost no one will notice them.

But if you look closely, you can sense the dangerous aura from them.

The escort team sent by General Lei hardly spoke along the way and did not make any suggestions.

The speed at which the entire team advances is also determined by Yun Huizhou and Lian Li.

Even Qu Tingquan did not suggest the idea of ​​returning to Central Plains as soon as possible.

Lian Li glanced at Qu Tingquan quietly, thinking that with the heroine's intelligence, she might have guessed something and chose to cooperate with them.

Thinking of this, Lian Li sighed slightly in his heart. They had concealed so much information from the heroine, and the heroine should have noticed it more or less.

But she didn't say anything else. Instead, she chose to believe them and cooperate with them, which made him feel a little guilty.

But they only felt guilty for a short while, after all, they had never thought of using the information gap to deceive and harm the heroine.

It’s just that some things are really inconvenient to talk about now, and he and Yun Huizhou are a little confused now.

They didn't know what the master's plan was, what General Lei was specifically trying to do, and they really didn't know how to tell the heroine.

The group did not walk fast. Since they were trying to lure the snake out of its hole, they had to give it time to come out.

If they walked too fast and everyone returned to Zuimeng Island, the snake would just come out and they would miss it, which would be really troublesome.

Who knew that they were already traveling so slowly that it was like they were on a tour, and there was no obstruction along the way.

This made Lian Li couldn't help but doubt, is there no such thing as luring the snake out of its hole, and is it just that he and Yun Huizhou were overthinking?

Wouldn't it be extremely stupid for them to walk so slowly?

I think the people sent by General Lei and Qu Tingquan would think that the two of them are mentally ill. They don’t hurry back, but wander around leisurely along the way, wasting their time.

Lian Li kept all these words in his heart. He didn't dare tell anyone else. He only dared to tell Yun Huizhou.

But although the thirteen people are not inseparable now, he also has no chance to be alone with Yun Huizhou.

Even if he wanted to tell Yun Huizhou, he didn't have the chance to tell Yun Huizhou.

Fortunately, the two of them always walked together, and Lian Li secretly looked at Yun Huizhou's face.

He happened to meet Yun Huizhou's eyes, and then he found that Yun Huizhou's expression also had a hint of confusion and uncertainty.

In an instant, he understood.

Yun Huizhou was also confused.

But his and Yun Huizhou's guesses were not groundless. Logically speaking, their way back should not be so peaceful.

Is he planning some big move?

Both of them were unsure, but because they had never found a chance to be alone, they had no way to communicate about their previous speculations.

After thinking carefully for a night, Yun Huizhou and Lian Li decided to speed up their progress at the same time.

Qu Tingquan seemed a little confused about their sudden speed up, but did not ask.

As for the escort team sent by General Lei, they speeded up without saying anything.

They have been in the Central Plains for two days and nothing has happened. This is simply too abnormal.

Yun Huizhou and Lian Li were both very confused, but fortunately the city they were in was quite prosperous, so they decided to rest here for a day and find an opportunity to meet and communicate.

A group of more than ten people found an inn. Although Yun Huizhou and Lian Li had intentionally slowed down their pace, they had been on the road for several days in a row and everyone was more or less tired.

Yun Huizhou touched the banknote General Lei had stuffed into his and Lian Li's pockets before he left, thought for a moment, and then said to Captain Zheng, "Thank you for all your hard work along the way. Why don't I treat you all today? Let's go to the restaurant and order some delicious food so that everyone can have a good meal."
