Chapter 469 First Meeting
Meng Qi remained unmoved and was not dazzled by the people coming in and out. Although everyone might leave with a message for the Wolf King, he did not rush to choose the most timid and questionable person to follow.
Because he is convinced that the Wolf King has caused public outrage on the grassland. Even the high-ranking noble shamans may not care too much, but victims like Agula, who are neither high nor low, and young masters who are frightened because of the Wolf King , if they join forces, they can tear Narisu apart, so if he doesn't want to be the target of public criticism, the contact with the Wolf King must be left to his confidants or even completed personally, and there is no possibility of the news leaking!
Of course, all the premise is that Risu did collect intelligence for the Wolf King.
Meng Qi waited patiently, like a long-time hunter, without any impatience in his heart. The people who entered the tent and the people who left in a hurry all appeared clearly in his mind and then disappeared without a trace. They were all ordinary subordinates of Risu that day. No one can be called a confidant.
It was a gloomy winter day with no sun. After half an hour, fewer and fewer people came and went. Snow piled on the top of the tent, making Meng Qi feel cold all over.
Suddenly, a figure jumped into Meng Qi's sight. He was wearing a wolf fur coat, with his head lowered. He exhaled a cold breath and walked towards Old Uen's tent, as if he was going to have a drink.
According to Agula and Temur's information, this was Narisu's close confidant, nicknamed "Missing Ears". He committed a master's crime in his early years and had his two ears cut off.
Meng Qi looked at the top of the tent next to him and met Temur's eyes. He nodded slightly and motioned for him to follow, while he continued to wait.
Prairie warriors were all hunters in their early years. Temur slid down silently, with a "missing ear" in the distance.
After a while, Meng Qi's eyes froze, because on that day Su quietly left from behind the tent. If it weren't for the distinctive braid, Meng Qi might not have dared to recognize him.
The infuriating energy circulated and the snow melted into ice. Meng Qi slid down from the top of the tent like a normal falling piece of snow, following Risu's steps that day.
That day, Su first went to the place where small tribes gathered, picked a horse, and then went to the most chaotic tent area, which was full of people whose animals had died and had to sell themselves into slavery or rely on the flesh trade to survive.
Being so abnormal after receiving bad news about the Wolf King, I'm afraid it has something to do with him... Meng Qi followed from a distance, changing his appearance and decoration from time to time, paying attention to everyone who came into contact with Na Risu.
After walking, Risu returned to his tent that day!
He deliberately led us in circles, so the person who sent the message was "missing an ear"? Or was he my henchman who followed him out of the tent during this time? How to find this?
Meng Qi was shocked. He was about to find Temur and meet him when a sudden movement occurred in his heart and he hid in the hiding place again.
It was impossible for Risu to guess how many people were watching that day. This kind of trick to divert people away could easily fail.
On the contrary, his sudden return to the tent will make people think that the operation failed and the person who sent the message has left long ago, so they can relax their guard here and look for people everywhere!
Halfway through the tea time, another person came out of Na Risu's tent, which seemed to be the only one there.
Wearing a wolfskin hat and a thick coat, he looked like the most ordinary herdsman, but there was one obvious feature on his face that could not be concealed, the dull eye on the left side.
"One Eye" was another confidant of Risu!
Meng Qi was calm and quietly followed him with his "one eye".
After thinking that he had gotten rid of the possible pursuer, One Eye suddenly accelerated and headed towards the outskirts of Gegen Gol.
The white snow is pressing down on the grassland. When walking on it, one foot is deep and the other is shallow. Even if One Eye tries his best, he will inevitably leave some traces.
Meng Qi followed from a distance, just to pass by before the falling snowflakes wiped out the traces.
Moreover, every time his toes touch the ground, he steps on the faint footprints of "One Eye". Even if "One Eye" turns around, or there are followers behind him, he will be ignored because there are "no" traces.
You must not be careless when hunting down someone like the Wolf King who is good at sneak attacks and escapes. Maybe everyone who delivers information to him will be quietly followed by him for a while?
"I actually left Gegengaol. I thought it would be passed on from level to level, even using a kite..." Meng Qi frowned slightly, "Could it be that the Wolf King is nearby?"
This made him even more alert, and he did not miss any trace on the road.
Suddenly, Meng Qi sniffed and smelled the faint smell of blood!
He suddenly quickened his pace, roaring forward like a gust of wind, going up the gentler slope.
The sky above is still white, the lake is wide and covered with thick ice, which complements the vast sky. It really makes people feel that the sky is vast and vast, and awe of the sky arises spontaneously.
There was a man lying next to the lake, who looked like he was wearing "One Eye". The snow beside him was dyed red and had not yet frozen into ice.
Meng Qi cautiously ran nearby, raised his toes, and turned One-Eye over.
There was an expression of disbelief on his face and right eye. His throat was directly crushed and his flesh and blood were blurred.
Apart from that, there were no other wounds on his body.
"Wolf King!" This familiar feeling made Meng Qi full of vigilance. He had already grasped the handle of the knife tightly with his right hand, and every line on it was clearly highlighted in his heart.
The Wolf King is really nearby!
But why did he want to kill "One Eye"? Did you sense danger approaching? Meng Qi clenched the handle of the knife, trembling slightly. While full of fighting spirit, he also had deep questions.
According to the following distance, it is unlikely that the Wolf King will find him!
Could it be that his sense of danger has become so strong?
At this moment, Meng Qi smelled a very light fragrance, like musk and orchid, which lasted for a long time.
He pulled out the long knife with a clang, picked it up gently, and picked out a sachet from "One Eye"'s arms. It was finely made and exuded a rich fragrance.
"It looks like a special spice? A gift from my one-eyed lover?" Meng Qi was startled at first, then suddenly found that he was also contaminated by this fragrance, and it didn't fade away for a long time!
If Meng Qi had not reached the "spotless" state long ago, he might not have noticed the strangeness of this fragrance.
He suddenly understood why the Wolf King wanted to kill "One-Eye". For the Wolf King who was good at concealing his aura, being exposed to this scent was tantamount to self-destruction and hiding!
In his heart, he probably thought that One-Eye had betrayed him and was using this scent to "haunt" him!
Is the one eye intentional or unintentional?
The spices are specially made, and whether One-Eye intended it or not, the person who gave him the sachet had ulterior motives!
This was an unexpected surprise for Meng Qi. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and discerned the scent from the wind.
Threads passed through the nose, and the separation was clear. Meng Qi suddenly opened his eyes and jumped to the west, where a very faint fragrance remained.
He no longer worried about the remaining traces, fully unfolded his body, followed the scent, and ran with all his strength!
Although the characteristic of "Pingxu Linfeng" is that it turns once in mid-air, it does not mean that it is not good at running long distances, so Meng Qi's figure is fluttering, like a god and an immortal, and he is not slow at all - if this is a shortcoming, why did Xuanbei back then? Can you escape all the way into the Central Plains?
The scent is getting weaker and weaker, and the Wolf King seems to be trying his best to remove it, but the feeling of Meng Qi's qi pulling him becomes clearer and clearer. It seems that after closing his eyes, a running figure will appear in his "sight".
We must catch up with him before the scent disappears completely!
The falling snow was still there, covering many traces. The Wolf King was like a ghost, leaving no trace that Meng Qi could find in a hurry. It was like he was chasing the air. If it weren't for the scent, there would still be a sense of qi pulling him. Now, Meng Qi would even suspect that he was pursuing the wrong direction.
A gust of cold wind blew by, and the last trace of fragrance drifted away. Meng Qi could only rely on that vague intuition to continue tracing.
There were a series of footprints left on the snow, but strangely, they were only Meng Qi's!
In Meng Qi's mind, the tall and thin figure kept walking, showing a faint killing intent. If he hadn't been worried about an ambush, he might have returned to hunt him long ago.
Tempering his soul and overcoming his anxiety, the more Meng Qi chased, the more he seemed to be as confident as a rock and his mind was as calm as a lake, just like the most experienced hunter.
Xuehua narrowed his eyes, but he felt that he was getting closer and closer. Meng Qi's hand holding the knife slightly stretched and slowed down, following the rhythm of the wind, and he was about to pull out the knife along with the force of the air.
Suddenly, as if night had fallen, the traction of Qi was cut off, and the Wolf King was no longer in Meng Qi's intuition!
"You still have this skill? Why didn't you use it earlier?" Meng Qi was on full alert to prevent the Wolf King from attacking.
He inspected the traces and had to slow down his pursuit. Without careful identification, there would be no way to find the clues left by the Wolf King.
After chasing for a while, at such a speed, the traces ahead had been completely eliminated.
Meng Qi breathed out and could only admit that he had lost track.
In this regard, the Wolf King does have unique talents and abilities.
"I'm afraid the hand that cuts off the entanglement of Qi will have to pay a certain price, otherwise the Wolf King should use it after getting rid of the scent." Meng Qi identified the location and looked for a way back to Gegen Gol.
The sky was blue, the grassland was vast, and the snow was white. The surroundings were almost the same. Meng Qi almost didn't know where he was. Fortunately, he had a good sense of direction. Combining all kinds of knowledge, he slowly outlined in his mind the rough route he took after leaving Gegengaol. First to the north, then to the west-south...
"Hey, as long as we just go back east, we will reach Kudzu!" Meng Qi was shocked. He chased the Wolf King in a wide circle?
"No." He suddenly narrowed his eyes, "It was the Wolf King who led me around half a circle. Doesn't he want to leave Gegengaole deep in his consciousness?"
If the Wolf King didn't think so, heading northwest and going deep into the grassland would be the best choice. Why go in circles?
"He wants revenge... He thinks Risu betrayed him that day?" Meng Qi's pupils shrank, not daring to show any slights, and returned eastward with the knife in hand.
When he was about to enter the tent area of Gegen Gol, Meng Qi saw Temur.
When he saw Meng Qi, he hurriedly greeted him: "Did you find anything?"
"He was nearby, but he lost track of him." Meng Qi said calmly.
Temur sighed: "The cunning prey can always escape, but the hunter cannot lose heart. As long as he has enough patience and calmness, he will surely catch it."
"Yes." Meng Qi nodded lightly.
This is the training of one's own martial arts will and soul.
