Three Kingdoms: From Hulaoguan to Global Hegemony

Chapter 108 Tracking
In order to find out the truth behind the loud noise, Liu Yu and Liu Bei returned to the front of the hill.

At this time, the defenders could no longer be seen halfway up the mountain, but not far from the foot of the mountain, a group of troops could be seen slowly leaving.

"Should we go down the mountain to chase after the team, or go up to see what's going on at the entrance?" Liu Bei asked.

Liu Yu took a few glances from a distance, and found that the team at the foot of the mountain was not leaving too fast, "If the other party just left empty-handed, we won't find any big discoveries even if we follow, why don't we go halfway up the mountain to have a look first?" Can you find any useful clues?"

The two walked carefully on the mountain road, because they were afraid that there would be guards left at the entrance to deal with the aftermath, so they didn't dare to light the torch.

Just when they were about to reach the halfway up the mountain, they suddenly saw a fire approaching them not far away.

It seemed that there were indeed guards staying here to deal with the aftermath. In order not to attract their attention, the two quickly hid in the grass by the roadside.

After a while, voices were heard from afar.

"Head, why don't we stay and eat something before returning to the team!"

"You're a dumper, you know what you're owed, if you don't return to the team quickly, the higher ups will punish us!"

This person's words were very useful, and seven or eight of his subordinates just complained for a while and then quickly walked away from Liu Yu's hiding place.

Seeing that there was no one around, Liu Yu asked curiously: "Can Xuande hear the accents of those people just now?"

Liu Bei replied, "It seems to be Jingxiang's accent!"

Liu Yu nodded and thought so, those people not only had accents like Jingxiang's, but also spoke a few dialects that were very characteristic of Jingxiang.

For example, dumping goods refers to people who are not doing their job properly, while making debts satirizes people who are greedy and lazy.

So Liu Yu muttered in his heart, Xu Rong's subordinates are all Xiliang soldiers, how could there be a small group of soldiers speaking with a Jingxiang accent.

Without the guards, Liu Yu and the two quickly ran to the entrance of the underground palace halfway up the mountain, only to see that it was sealed off from the outside.

"My lord, what should we do next?" Liu Bei pointed to the sealed entrance, which was obviously dealt with by those people just now, and there were no clues at all.

"It seems that we can only follow the team of guards who left."

The less people follow, the harder it is to be discovered. Liu Yu decides to follow it himself, while Liu Bei stays and leads people to dig up here, so as to meet Zhang Da and Wu You who entered the underground palace.

Liu Bei knew that his force was not high, and going with him would only delay his feet, so he told Liu Yu to be careful and went to the back mountain to find someone.

After Liu Yu went down the mountain, he was not in a hurry to chase after him. By the moonlight, he saw a lot of wheel marks on the ground, and the marks were deep. It seemed that the guards did not leave empty-handed.

It's just that he couldn't figure out where the guards got the vehicle, and was it the grain hidden in the underground palace that was turning on the vehicle?
He couldn't figure it out, but Liu Yu didn't slow down. He thought that as long as he caught up, he would be able to figure out all the mysteries.

So Liu Yu stopped saving his energy and chased towards the distant fire at full speed.

……

After chasing a cup of tea, Liu Yu could clearly see nearly a hundred vehicles on the road.

The car was covered with sackcloth so it was hard to see what was inside, and the escort team was much larger than Liu Yu imagined.

Originally, there were only more than 200 guards on the hill, but there were nearly two to three thousand people guarding these vehicles.

Such a large number of people, horses and vehicles would definitely not have come out of the underground palace, because the widest main tomb of the underground palace had long been flooded by rain.

So there is only one answer, that is, when Liu Yu took people to dig a new entrance in the back mountain, a team of people in charge of transportation happened to come to the front of the hill.

These people came to transfer things, because the underground palace was no longer suitable for storing their things because of the rain.

So after they loaded all the things they wanted to transfer into the car, they ordered the entrance to the underground palace to be sealed.

These speculations suddenly made Liu Yu think of a possibility. Cui Di had previously said that he would trade with a mysterious wealthy businessman in the past two days.

Could it be that the transaction location was originally set near the hill behind him, but because the main tomb was flooded with water and could not store more grain, the mysterious rich merchant had to order to postpone the transaction time.

Moreover, people were sent to secretly transfer all the grain stored there to a safer place.

But now, as long as it is clear that the vehicle in front is filled with grain, all the speculations will be established.

Just as Liu Yu was distracted thinking about something, suddenly there was a sound of piercing through the air, and a sharp arrow shot towards Liu Yu's chest quickly.

Immediately afterwards Liu Yu fell to the ground in response and remained motionless.

At this time, two secret sentries came out from the hiding place.

These two were responsible for clearing the tail of the front team. In order to ensure that the follower was dead, the two of them drew their sharp knives and prepared to go forward to make up for Liu Yu a few times.

"Don't you believe in my archery skills? Although I can't pierce Yang with a hundred steps, but within twenty steps, I dare say that I can shoot without fail, and I can hit wherever I point!"

Archer raised his arms proudly, but the man next to him was much more cautious.

"I know your archery skills are great, but... let's go up and make up a few knives!"

Just as the two were about to approach, Liu Yu suddenly jumped up from the ground, so fast that the two in front of them barely had time to react.

And it was the sharp arrow that bounced faster than Liu Yu.

"You, you...why didn't you hit the arrow!" The archer looked at Liu Yu in surprise.

At this time, the companion next to him fell slowly while clutching his throat.

This man tried very hard to make some noise before he died, but there was a bow and arrow stuck in his throat, and the huge penetrating wound even pierced his stamina bones.

At this time, the archer took a closer look and felt a chill down his spine, because the arrow on his companion's throat was the one he shot at Liu Yu!

It turned out that when Liu Yu was distracted and thinking about things just now, the visual function of the system reminded him to be careful of sneak attacks in time, and also gave him an evasion route in an instant.

Then Liu Yu caught the arrow and lay down on the ground, waiting for a waiter.

Sure enough, two secret whistlers in charge of sweeping the tail jumped out and wanted to make up the knife, but when he saw his companion was shot to death suddenly, the archer trembled a little with fright.

Within five steps, he could use an arrow to injure someone with a single fall, and it still penetrated directly. With such accuracy and strength, even he might not be able to do it with the strongest bow.

So the archer knew he had met a master.

"Answer my two questions obediently and I can save your life, otherwise this person on the ground will be your fate!"

Liu Yu spoke very easily, as if he didn't mean to threaten others at all, but it sounded like a needle prick in the archer's ears.

This archer has just turned eighteen, and a wonderful life is still waiting for him to enjoy. He is afraid of death, let alone death.
