Drunk Bamboo

Night, Qingshan Town.

Three black figures flew out of the courtyard.

Following a light blue light, it traveled through the dense forest behind the town.

One of the shadows spoke, it was Zhang Xinghe:

"Wang Qingming is covered in silver powder, which is made of a special material that we cannot see, but will attract fluorescent butterflies. The fluorescent butterflies will follow the trail of the silver powder, and we will know where Wang Qingming went today."

Hua Qinfeng chased the fluorescent butterfly emitting light blue spots in front of him, and felt that the people who entered the yard to investigate in the afternoon were circling Qingshan Town.

"The fluorescent butterfly has been hanging around Qingshan Town. What is he doing here all afternoon?"

Zhang Xinghe's Qinggong was also not bad, and he could keep up with Hua Qinfeng and Chaoyang steadily: "We all went to Loushan, and Chaoyang also took the other guards to search everywhere. This is the safest place. If he knows the whereabouts of the official silver, he will naturally take this time to go to the place where the treasure is hidden and take a look to make sure that everything is there, so that he can feel at ease."

Hua Qinfeng deliberately spoke vaguely during the day, causing Wang Qingming to misunderstand what they had found. It was also a letter from Lord Chen in Zhongdu. If he had something to hide, he would not miss this opportunity. He came in and checked when no one was in the courtyard.

If Wang Qingming had anything to do with the bandits' official silver, he would definitely check it out to be at ease.

Seeing the fluorescent butterfly flying through the dense forest and heading deeper into the forest, Hua Qinfeng quickly sped up: "Now we have to find a way out from him. Let's go, the fluorescent butterfly has changed direction, let's catch up!"

After a while, following the fluorescent butterfly, the group came to a turbulent river.

The fluorescent butterfly hovered and fluttered by the river and did not move forward.

Three men in black fell from the sky and stopped by the river.

Chaoyang asked: "The fluorescent butterfly actually came to the river. Now there is nothing. What should we do?"

Hua Qinfeng and Zhang Xinghe looked at the darkness on the other side of the river without saying a word.

At this time, Chaoyang saw the fluorescent butterfly flapping its wings and flying high towards the other side, and hurriedly said, "Master Zhang, look, the fluorescent butterfly has flown to the other side."

Zhang Xinghe looked at the broad and turbulent river and said in a low voice: "This is Qinghe River, a branch of the Dajiang River. At this moment, the place where the fluorescent butterfly is flying should be the direction of Loushan Mountain."

Hua Qinfeng narrowed his eyes: "Sure enough, the secret is still in Loushan."

The only difference is that instead of climbing the mountain as usual, we crossed the river and entered from the back of the mountain.

After looking around, Chaoyang said, "There are no boats nearby. We can only find a boat tomorrow and go up."

Zhang Xinghe stopped him and said, "Looking for a boat to cross the river is too conspicuous and might alert the enemy. Wang Qingming is cautious. After this inspection, he may not come again for a while. In the future, his attention will be on us. We haven't figured out who those bandits are yet. Jiangbei County is their territory. If they know that we have discovered their secret, they may move away, making it even more difficult for us to find them."

"The most dangerous place is the safest. Staying in Loushan now may be the safest option for them. It is also the easiest place for us to annihilate them in one fell swoop."

Hua Qinfeng remained silent after hearing this.

Chaoyang suggested, "Your Highness and Lord Zhang should go back first. There is a narrow river in the lower reaches of Qinghe River, and the two banks are covered with dense jungle. I can find a few tree trunks floating on the river, and then I can fly to the other side with Qinggong."

Among the three, Chaoyang's Qinggong is the best, Hua Qinfeng's martial arts is the best, and Zhang Xinghe is the last to learn martial arts. He has studied in the army for four years and is talented and hardworking. However, his Qinggong and martial arts are still not as good as Hua Qinfeng and Chaoyang who have practiced martial arts since childhood.

The situation on the other side of Qinghe River is unclear. If there is any danger, if the three of them go there and encounter any situation, there will be no backup to help.

Besides, Chaoyang can't let either of them get hurt.

Therefore, the safest thing for him to do at this moment is to explore the way ahead.

Zhang Xinghe could naturally think of these.

Hua Qinfeng didn't say anything either.

He didn't say much tonight, and seemed to be thinking about something.

Chaoyang smiled and said, "It will take some time to go back and forth. If I am not back in the morning, Your Majesty, please think of an excuse for me."

Hua Qinfeng did not stop him. There was a hint of worry in his eyes. He said in a rough voice: "Be careful. You don't know what's going on on the other side, and you're still worrying about me."

Chaoyang saw the hesitation and worry in his eyes, and smiled: "The prince doesn't need me to nag him now."

Thinking back to when I first returned to Zhongdu, I followed the prince around in fear all day long, and my lips were worn out from talking to him, but the prince still did what he wanted and did whatever he wanted.

Not long after that, the prince actually began to worry about him.

Things have changed, and finally the situation has turned to his side.

Hua Qinfeng took out a few small bottles from his sleeve and placed them in Chaoyang's hand: "Poison, antidote pills, take them for self-defense."

Chaoyang lowered his head in surprise, then quickly put the small bottle away: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

After saying that, Chaoyang flew away along the river bank.

Hua Qinfeng looked at the other side of the dark river with a gloomy look in his eyes.

Zhang Xinghe stood facing the wind: "When would the prince carry something like poison? I remember the prince once said that those who use poison are sinister villains. If you draw your sword quickly and move swiftly, you don't need any other extra self-defense."

The poison was made by Xie Yuzhu herself and placed in the luggage. Hua Qinfeng treated it very preciously along the way. If it weren't for Chaoyang, he would not have taken it out.

Retract your gaze and walk towards the other courtyard:

"Did I say that? I don't remember."

Zhang Xinghe smiled slightly and followed Hua Qinfeng's steps: "Did the princess prepare this for the prince?"

Hua Qinfeng did not deny it, but only said: "It's a different time now."

"Why is it one thing at one time and another at another? Because it was the princess who gave me the poison, so everything is correct, right?"

Zhang Xinghe insisted on asking for the reason, but Hua Qinfeng was too lazy to answer.

He flew away: "I can finally get some sleep tonight..."

Zhang Xinghe stood in the darkness, the faint smile on his lips gradually disappeared, and he chased in the direction Hua Qinfeng left.

Since Chaoyang didn't come back, the two of them naturally couldn't sleep well.

It was almost dawn when Chaoyang came back with an injury on his arm.

"What happened? Why are you injured again?" Hua Qinfeng asked loudly when he saw the blood.

"It's just a superficial wound. I have something important to tell the prince." Chaoyang's face was pale, but he was in good spirits.

"Let's go to Zhang Xinghe's room and talk." Hua Qinfeng nodded and helped him go quickly to Zhang Xinghe's room.

After arriving at the room, Zhang Xinghe saw Chaoyang's injuries. Without asking any questions, he prepared to get medicine.

Chaoyang spoke up to stop them: "It's just a minor injury, it was caused by the vines, it's just a superficial injury, I've already used hemostatic medicine, there's no need for you to worry about it, Master Zhang."

Zhang Xinghe glanced at Hua Qinfeng.

Hua Qinfeng: "Tell me what happened and see a doctor."
