Chapter 245 Speculation
After leading him out of the encirclement of the Lang family, Bai Xiao did not return to the Hu family camp, but wandered around the direction where Hu Gao's voice came for a long time, hoping to find a little clue available.
However, Hu Gao and others evacuated in the state of "Dance of Shadows", so they could not leave any traces that could provide clues. Bai Xiao's search was just in vain.
"Who is the owner of that voice? Is it the person I guess?" Bai Xiao kept recalling the voice and the person he remembered.
The two are very similar, but very different, which makes Bai Xiao unable to get the answer he wants.
After returning to the Hu family camp, Bai Xiao went straight to the central army tent where the head of the family Hu Zhentian was located, and explained in detail all the experiences in today's operation, including the voice that made him feel confused and familiar.
"Do you suspect that the owner of this voice is our own?" Hu Zhentian asked.
"Yes." Bai Xiao nodded without hesitation, "The owner of this voice stands on the same side as us, and he is very familiar with our Hu family and Lang family."
"It could be some intentional third party, right?"
"It must be our own people!" Bai Xiao insisted on his point of view, "The most direct evidence is that he killed Lang Zheng in Ningcheng. If a third party is interested, he will have great potential in the Qingyuan mine vein. Why go around a big circle to Ningcheng? Killing a Lang Zheng has no effect on the main force of the Lang family. Therefore, the only reason he can think of when he attacks Lang Zheng is to fight for the surprise attack on Ningcheng!"
"It seems that you already have a guess in your mind." A smile appeared on the corner of Hu Zhentian's mouth.
"It's... although I think my guess is a bit low, it's indeed the most reasonable guess I can think of..."
"Oh? Who is it?" Hu Zhentian's smile on the corner of his mouth became stronger.
"It's Hu Gao!" Bai Xiao finally expressed his guess, "Elder Ninth said before that Hu Gao did not die in Ningcheng. Kill Lang Zheng, destroy Qingya Village, and help us escape... After thinking about it, Hu Gao is the most likely person to do these things! But there are two questions in it..."
Hu Zhentian showed admiration on his face and raised his hand: "Continue talking."
"The first question is Hu Gao's strength. He was almost killed by Lang Zheng before. In such a short time, how did he become strong enough to kill Lang Zheng, or even kill Lang as such a high-level explosive Yuan realm powerhouse? The second question is, why is he in the middle between our Hu family's defense line and the Lang family's front line? Why didn't he come to meet us?" Bai Xiao poured out all the doubts in his heart.
These questions really made him puzzled.
If Hu Gao's improvement in strength can be attributed to some kind of adventure or inheritor's talent, then he really can't find any reason to explain it in the second question.
Hu Gao destroyed Qingya Village not long ago, which shows that he was still behind the Hu family's defense line. Not long after, he arrived at the middle of the Hu family's defense line and the Lang family's front line. How did this be done? If you go around a big circle, it would be too late to travel directly, why did no one in the Hu family discover it?
Bai Xiao also couldn't understand the reason why Hu Gao didn't come to meet them.
In the current situation, it is obviously easier to concentrate your strength, and being a lone hero is not a good choice. What is the reason why Hu Gao did not come to the camp to join?
"You can think about this point, which means that you have made a lot of progress during this period, Bai Xiao." Hu Zhentian did not hide his appreciation for Bai Xiao at all. "In fact, Elder Nine just reported the latest news yesterday - he found the traces left by Hu Gao on the way to the Qingyuan Mine Vein. Combined with what you saw today, the owner of the voice should be Hu Gao. How did he unknowingly cross our defense line? I don't know this, but I can guess the reason why he didn't come to the camp to meet."
“What is it?”
"I can't say this for the time being." Hu Zhentian kept it a secret, "You didn't expect that it was because you had never considered this, and it was not that you were not smart enough. Don't worry, one day, even if no one explains it to you, you will understand it yourself."
"Then are we still retreating?"
"Of course not. As you said, Hu Gao's appearance will bring us an opportunity to fight back. What we need to do now is to observe quietly, observe the opportunities that Hu Gao created for us, and sound the horn of counterattack at the most appropriate time!" Hu Zhentian seemed to have seen the day they counterattacked, and his eyes were flashing with excitement, "But this matter needs to be explained to the army of Fang Lancheng. They helped us a lot. If they continued to implement the original plan, it would be very bad."
"Let me go!" Bai Xiao was brave and brave.
"Hahahaha!" Hu Zhentian walked to Bai Xiao with a big laugh and patted Bai Xiao on the shoulder, "You have just come back, so you'd better go and have a good rest. I will send another envoy to Fang Lan City's army. You are so young, and there are still many things you need to do in the future, so don't worry about it."
"Yes, my subordinates took their leave..." Bai Xiao did not force it and quit the big account.
Outside the big tent, the sky is still clear.
...
Hu Gao is very unhappy now, to be precise, very unhappy. Although he successfully rescued Bai Xiao and others from the surround of Lang's family, Hu Gao was not happy at all.
Since Lang Jue discovered the original plan of the Hu family, the Lang family's shrinking power soon unfolded again, guarding the nodes, forming a complete front to put pressure on the Hu family's defense line.
Because of the Hu family's actions today, the alert level in various parts of the Lang family's front increased by several levels, which made the difficulty of Hu Gao's plan each breaking also increased in a geometric multiple.
I don’t know if this result is Hu Gao disrupted the Hu family’s army or Hu family’s army disrupted the Hu Gao’s situation.
"Trouble! It's really troubles!" Looking at the Lang family's camp from afar, Hu Gao had already said how many troubles he had said.
"Brother Hu Gao, why don't you use your stick?" Mu Jin kindly reminded, "Don't your stick have the ability to summon the Earth Boxing Rat? Wouldn't it be better to let the Earth Boxing Rat attack Langjia Camp? In this way, we don't have to worry about any danger in ourselves, nor do we have to expose our own place."
"No, haven't you noticed that I've been hiding it for a while?" Hu Gao rejected Mu Jin's suggestion, "I have always felt that something is trying to hit this stick recently. Maybe I will take it out of the space ring and attract the attention of the pursuer, which would be a big problem! I don't want to add an enemy inexplicably at this time."
"There is no mystery..." Mu Jin disagreed with Hu Gao's statement.
"It's always right to be careful." Hu Gao was stubborn.
In the near future, Hu Gao will definitely be glad that his "stubbornness" is so important. Because a "poor man" who was looking for the totem staff of the earth's boxing rats day and night, he found the Longwei Castle with Hu Gao's portrait.
As a result, the entire residents of Longwei Castle were harassed once in the past two days, and none of them were left behind.
"Father, look, that guy with a thunderbolt face and a thunderbolt mouth is going to Jingfang Pavilion!" A child shook his father's hand and pointed at the figure walking towards Jingfang Pavilion with the portrait.
"Shh! Speak quietly!" When the father was so scared that he hurriedly covered his son's mouth, "That's a real high-level explosive Yuan realm powerhouse. Don't talk nonsense, be careful to cause trouble! Also, where did you learn the word "Hairy-faced Lei Gong Mouth"? You are not allowed to say it again in the future!"
"I heard what you said to your mother yesterday..." The child looked aggrieved.
When my father was so scared that he confirmed that the weird guy didn't hear the sound here, he picked up his son and walked quickly to the house.
The "poor man" holding the portrait of Hu Gao walked to Jingfang Pavilion and stopped.
Jingfang Pavilion, this is the last building he has never entered in the entire Longwei Castle. If he still can't find out about the person in the portrait here, he has to go to another place to find a way.
Before he could enter Jingfang Pavilion, an appraiser with a friendly smile appeared in Jingfang Pavilion. Even when facing the visitor's face of the unusual face of the thunder duke, the appraiser still kept a smile very professionally: "I wonder what kind of help you need? Do you need to exchange for the crystal table? Or do you need to buy some items?"
"I'm here to inquire about the news. Have you ever seen anyone in this portrait?"
Simple and straightforward.
The appraiser looked at the portrait in the man's hand and the smile on his face became even brighter: "I've seen it, of course I've seen it! I know him even if he burned it to ashes!"
This appraisal officer was the poor old man who was repeatedly teased by Hu Gao. After Hu Gao left, the old appraisal officer was punished by the superiors. When he thought of the bastard boy who always smiled, the old appraisal officer was so angry that he hated him!
He has always regretted that there is no chance to avenge that bastard! Now, the opportunity has finally appeared!
"You know him? It's great!" The person who came was overjoyed, "Is he holding a wooden stick in his hand?"
"You talk about the totem stick? He did have one in his hand at that time, and he used it as a crutch." The old appraiser immediately realized that the other party's real purpose was the totem stick, and added fuel to the fire.
"Take it as a crutch?! That hateful bastard! That's so outrageous! Where is he now?!"
"I don't know this, but I will be able to 'buy' his whereabouts soon. Ha!" The old appraiser laughed softly, "You can find an inn to stay for a few days! I will notify you when there is news about him!"
"good!"
