The First Tyrant of Daxia

Qin Yun looked at the Peacock King carefully. The invisible pressure was immediately exerted on the Peacock King, making him feel like he was about to suffocate.

The Peacock King suddenly said unnaturally: "Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

Qin Yun narrowed his eyes and said, "I have analyzed two possible results. Either there is a traitor in my army who has revealed my whereabouts."

"Or someone knew my marching route and told others along the way when I would arrive."

After hearing what Qin Yun said, Peacock King was so frightened that he almost fell off his horse.

"Your Majesty, you can't wrongly accuse me. I'm not a traitor! I've been chasing Okita Taro all the way. It's impossible for me to spread this news along the way. Besides, I've been chasing Okita Taro on the road. How could I have the opportunity to do these things?"

"If I were a traitor, why would I lose my army?"

The Peacock King nervously stated his reasons, fearing that Qin Yun would blame the problem on him and regard him as a spy.

With Qin Yun's temper, if he was recognized as a traitor, he would definitely die a miserable death, and he didn't want to die!

Qin Yun looked at the Peacock King's expression, staring at him motionlessly, as if he was examining him. The Peacock King frightened him so much that he dared not move.

Qin Yun suddenly smiled and said, "I know it's not you. I just want you to think about it. Is it possible that there is a traitor among us?"

The Peacock King laughed dryly, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and shook his head, saying, "Your Majesty, I have no idea about this matter. Since I received your Majesty's order, I have been leading my army to fight, and I have no idea what happened."

Qin Yun withdrew his gaze, and some guesses already occurred to him.

Starting from Dila City, there were people everywhere whose male family members had gone missing. They all had one request, which was to ask Qin Yun to help them find the missing male members.

The people who appeared along the way basically matched the route that Taro Okita took to escape.

Is it possible that this was a plot left by Taro Okita, probably to leak the news of Qin Yun's coming, in an attempt to get the people whose family members are missing to rush out and stop Qin Yun?

If it was really Okita Taro's plan, then how did he know that so many people were missing from these families? Unless he was a participant in this matter.

That's why Qin Yun had a hunch that Taro Okita had something to do with this matter.

Assuming that what Qin Yun was thinking was correct, then in the following pursuit, Qin Yun should still be harassed by those people whose family members are missing.

But the fact is not so. Since meeting the Peacock King, Qin Yun has been chasing him all the way but has not encountered anyone whose family members are missing.

What the group of tiger hunters said just now also confirmed Qin Yun's thoughts. When they arrived here, there were no special situations like before, and they were all living well.

If we add Qin Yun's previous assumption, we will find that since he met the Peacock King in the deserted mountains, no one has disappeared, and no people have come out to ask Qin Yun to uphold justice and help them find their people.

Qin Yun therefore came to a bold hypothesis, that is, the road they are taking now is not the road that Taro Okita has taken. He has never been here, but took another road.

It is very likely that Taro Okita took the same route that Wagner took to escape. Their previous actions were all acting, deliberately creating the illusion that Taro Okita was escaping this way, while Wagner was fleeing in panic out of fear of death and chose another route.

All of this was done to deceive them, to lead them down another path, one that went against Okita Taro's escape route.

Although it was just a hypothesis, Qin Yun felt that his hypothesis was not far from the truth.

Taro Okita definitely didn't go down this path!

"Speed ​​up a bit!"

Qin Yun spoke in a deep voice.

It was a little late for him to react now, but if he chased fast enough, Qin Yun felt that he could still catch up.

Qin Yun still had a question in his mind.

Why did Okita Taro flee for his life along this route? Was it really just to let those anxious people stop Qin Yun?

Or is it to hide something else?

Qin Yun had a hunch that perhaps the disappearance of those people was related to Okita Taro's efforts to hide something.

The 300,000-strong army was on the road traveling day and night. Along the way, Qin Yun asked Lu Bai to lead the Jinyiwei to watch out for any traces of Okita Taro's army around.

However, Qin Yun felt that this should not happen.

If it appears, it means that Qin Yun’s previous speculations were all false and would be overturned in an instant, which would also help avoid going the wrong way.

But along the way, Lu Bai and the Jinyiwei did not find any trace.

Time passed bit by bit, and after a non-stop journey, Qin Yun returned to the vicinity of the barren mountain in the morning with his 300,000 troops.

"Your Majesty, there are traces of Taro Okita's army nearby." When he arrived here, Lu Bai quickly found traces of Taro Okita's army nearby.

The soldiers under Taro Okita are basically blood soldiers. They will not hide their whereabouts. Their footprints are very heavy and they are not wearing shoes, so they are very easy to identify.

What makes it easier to identify them is that they will have blood on their bodies, which will be colder than ordinary lake water and will not coagulate.

Along the way, Qin Yun has summarized the characteristics of Okita Taro's army's whereabouts.

Qin Yun narrowed his eyes. It was from here that they started to break away from Okita Taro's escape route. Later on, there was no trace of Okita Taro's army at all. This was enough to prove that Okita Taro did not go that way.

"The army will rest here. Lu Bai, take your men to search nearby to see if there is any trace of the same creature." Qin Yun said in a deep voice.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Lu Bai immediately led the Jinyiwei to search nearby.

The army finally let out a long sigh and began to rest.

After a while, Lu Bai came back with the Jinyiwei.

But it did not bring good news.

Lu Bai lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, we did not find any trace of Okita Taro's army nearby."

Qin Yun frowned. He found no trace of Okita Taro's army?

Why is this happening?

Qin Yun quickly thought of a reason, and then immediately said: "Lu Bai, you take the Jinyiwei and search along the route Wagner left, about ten miles away."
