Chapter 127 The Distance of the Carriage
He decided to go back first and think things over carefully. If this old servant was really from another race, he was afraid he would be difficult to deal with, because he had heard Feng Ji mention that other races had some special methods.
The next morning, Li Hansen came to find Wang Mu again, thinking that the man had run away. However, he was resting in his room and told Wang Mu that Chen Bu had left Luoshi City that morning.
Wang Mu didn't need Li Hansen to tell him these things, but he didn't say much either, just that he had his own arrangements and told him to wait patiently.
The city of Luoshi has five gates for entry and exit, one each in the east, west, south, and north, and another gate in the northeast. Last night, I overheard that Chen Bu was ostensibly leaving through the northeast gate, but was actually secretly returning to Nidavia through the north gate.
Wang Mu chased after Chen Bu from the north gate for over thirty li, but found no trace of Chen Bu or his old servant, which puzzled him.
Because of the snow and ice, although it was a main road, the snow on the road had not completely melted, and there were still ice blocks on the road. There were no traces of carriages on the road, but there were some hoofprints.
He chased for another ten miles or so, but still couldn't find the other person. Suddenly, he realized that the other person hadn't taken this route at all.
Thinking of the old servant's scheme last night, he suddenly realized that although the other party was using a feint, they probably changed their mind at dawn.
He had originally planned to catch up with the man and set up a magical formation ahead to trap the old servant. But unexpectedly, the man had devised another scheme. As he laughed, he thought to himself that the old servant was quite clever.
He turned around and rushed back to Luoshi City, where he ran into Li Hansen at the city gate. Li Hansen had come from the northeast to chase after Chen Bu, but he had not caught up with him.
At this moment, Li Hansen told Wang Mu that the other side had left through five city gates, and he didn't know which team was real or fake.
Wang Mu inquired in detail and learned that at dawn, there was a carriage at each of the five city gates, along with several guards and maids. The carriages followed the carriages out of the city gates. Each carriage had the clan emblem of Chen Bu's family, and it was unknown which carriage carried Chen Bu himself.
This is when Li Hansen chased after the carriage to the East Gate, discovered that the person in the carriage was not Chen Bu, and hurriedly returned to find Nangong Cha.
Nangong Cha was injured in the arm, so he did not chase after Chen Bu. Unexpectedly, he saw another Chen Bu and became suspicious. He then spent some gold coins at several city gates and learned everything from the soldiers guarding the city.
As soon as Li Hansen returned, Nangong Cha told him and urged him to go find the Emperor immediately.
Wang Mu was taken aback upon hearing this, sensing that this old servant was no ordinary person.
Thinking of this, he hurried towards the main road leading out of the south gate. Fortunately, he was skilled in lightness techniques and managed to catch up with a carriage.
However, it was already morning. Looking at the carriage ahead, the people following it seemed to be in a hurry. They had already left the main road and were heading towards a field.
Wang Mu stood on high ground and sneered, confirming that Chen Bu was indeed in the carriage. The old servant was driving the carriage. Even if Chen Bu wasn't in the carriage, it didn't matter, since the employer wanted him to kill the old servant who was driving the carriage.
He leaped down and secretly followed behind the carriage. He did not act rashly, but carefully observed the carriage, the accompanying guards, and a few inconspicuous maids.
After following for a while, he finally discovered some clues. It turned out that there were spiritual energy arrays engraved around the carriage and even on its roof. These spiritual energy arrays had faint electric sparks.
At this moment, he couldn't help but wonder how this old servant, a fire-type cultivator, could inscribe an electric-type spiritual energy array. Moreover, these spiritual energy arrays made him feel uneasy.
Looking at the vast snowfield, he realized that even if he got there in time, it would be too late to set up the Qimen formation. Moreover, the old servant was cautious and it would be difficult to wait for him to come to him.
Just then, several sparrows flew by in mid-air. These sparrows must have come out to forage for food, but in the dead of winter, with the fields covered in snow, they could not find the fallen grains in the fields.
Looking at the sparrows flying in front of him, and seeing the cold wind blowing in his direction, he suddenly had an idea.
He stopped following the carriage and stood still, waiting for it to leave two or three miles away. Then he took out a small amount of spices from his spatial ring, which he usually used to lure wild animals.
He threw the spices on the snow and held his breath.
Before long, several sparrows were attracted by the aroma. They flew around a few times before landing on the ground and pecking at the spices on the snow.
Wang Mu suddenly made a move, using his palm to suck up several sparrows, and then applied some poison to the feet of the sparrows.
This poison is a colorless and odorless liquid, so it's likely the old servant in front wouldn't be able to detect it.
He then released a few sparrows and used his lightness technique to occasionally toss a spice into the air.
The sparrow flew away in fright after taking to the air, but was attracted by the fragrance and followed it again.
Wang Mu bypassed the carriage in front and came to a place a few miles ahead. He scattered a row of spices on the ground and laid it across the passage of the carriage. This row of spices was a mile long.
Looking at the spices on the ground, he sneered. No matter what, the other party would never have imagined that he would use this method to poison them.
The carriage finally appeared, and looking at the sparrows in the air, they must have smelled the fragrance from the ground.
Wang Mu retreated a mile away and hid in a haystack. He checked the carriage and found that it was on its way, heading straight for him. He was overjoyed.
But soon his heart was in his throat again, because no sparrows were coming. As the carriage drew closer, he couldn't help but clench his fists. This plan was mostly based on luck.
When they were still about thirty meters away from the spices on the ground, Paul smelled a fragrance in the air and couldn't help but find it strange.
Just then, a few sparrows flew down from above and landed on the snow ahead, seemingly foraging for food. He paid no attention to this and continued driving the carriage forward.
Wang Mu hid behind a haystack, watching the sparrows nervously while occasionally calculating the distance to the carriage.
Once a sparrow lands, the poison beneath its feet will dissipate into the air. However, the poison's effects are limited to a radius of about ten meters. Even if the sparrow is downstream of the wind, the poison will dissipate if the distance exceeds this range, rendering it ineffective.
After the carriage had traveled about ten meters, Bao Li noticed that several sparrows ahead had all fallen to the ground in the snow. A sense of unease arose within him, and he quickly stopped the carriage, shouting, "Stop! Stop!"
The guards and maids around them were all stunned, not knowing what had happened.
Suddenly, Paul smelled something deadly in the fragrance wafting in the air. He knew something was wrong and immediately held his breath.
Just as he was about to notify the others, all the guards and maids collapsed to the ground without even letting out a scream, their faces now completely black.
"Bori, what's going on outside?" Chen Bu, who was in the carriage, reacted and shouted.
"Young Master Chen Bu, don't come out, it's poisonous outside."
