Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 616
Chapter 616 See The Phantom Again
Yun Xiao, Tie Qinglan, and the others followed behind the black-clothed man and walked past a dense forest. Yun Xiao saw a few figures in front of them. Especially, Yun Xiao saw a figure that she was extremely familiar with!
There was a trace of joy in Gujing Wubo’s eyes. Before the black-clothed man could continue leading the way, Yun Xiao urged Liu’er to quickly drive the horse out.
At this moment, she couldn’t wait to see Rong Jin.
However, just as Liu’er was about to speed up, she suddenly heard a cold voice from the black-clothed man, “Wait a moment.”
Liu’er immediately pulled the horse and stopped it.
On the contrary, Zhou Jingxu’s reaction speed was a little slower. Fortunately, the black-clothed man in front of him reacted quickly and grabbed Zhou Jingxu’s horse in time.
Tie Qinglan also looked at the black-clothed man in front of her in surprise. Ming Rong Jin, Rong Xun, and the others were right in front of her, but why did the black-clothed man not allow them to go over?
Tie Qinglan was not the only one who had such doubts.
Yun Xiao also looked at the black-clothed man with a puzzled gaze.
The black-clothed man did not look at the few people behind him. He got off the horse and moved a few times under his feet. Under the moonlight, he stood up with a very long string in his hand. This string was made of the sharpest golden cicada silk. If he didn’t pay attention, if the horse quickly moved forward and was caught in the leg by the golden cicada silk, their group would fall off the horse.
When Yun Xiao saw this, she secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the black-clothed man stopped them in time.
However, the black-clothed man did not stop because of this. Instead, he kept moving forward. Every time he took a few steps, he would pull up a golden cicada thread from the ground.
Such density made Yun Xiao and the others feel their scalps go numb when they saw it.
Even if they managed to dodge the first strand of golden cicada silk, the golden cicada silk behind them would not be so easy to deal with.
Take a deep breath. Fortunately, someone was guiding them.
However, as she walked forward, Yun Xiao felt that something was wrong in front of her. It was as if the figures of Rong Jin and the others were becoming more and more illusory, as if they did not exist.
Such a scene caused Yun Xiao to be secretly shocked, but she was already secretly vigilant in her heart. Moreover, Tie Qinglan and the others had also noticed the strange appearance of Rong Jin and the others in front of her. However, everyone was quietly observing and secretly vigilant in their surroundings.
Fifteen minutes later, they were getting closer and closer to Rong Jin and the others.
However, just as they were about to approach Rong Jin and the others, the black-clothed man immediately turned around with the entire army and was about to walk in another direction.
Tie Qinglan’s temper was already careless, so she couldn’t help but loudly say, “Wait a moment, Rong Jin and Rong Xun are clearly in that direction. Why did you bring us to another place?” Wasn’t this the path that led to Rong Jin and the others?
The black-clothed man only glanced at Tie Qinglan and did not have any intention of answering. He only turned around and was about to continue walking forward.
Tie Qinglan did not get the answer and looked in Yun Xiao’s direction, her eyes filled with inquiries.
Yun Xiao glanced at the illusory Rong Jin and the others once again. She had a guess in her heart. However, she was not too clear about what was happening now. She could only cast a calm expression on Tie Qinglan’s face.
Tie Qinglan’s heart was filled with anger, but there was no place to vent her anger.
Seeing that no one replied, Tie Qinglan directly pulled the horse’s head and turned around, heading in the direction of Rong Jin and Rong Xun.
Yun Xiao frowned. Just as she was about to stop Tie Qinglan, she saw that the black-clothed man in front of her had already thrown out a concealed weapon and shot towards Rong Jin, Rong Xun, and the others.
The concealed weapon was very fast, and no one could react. By the time everyone saw it, the concealed weapon was almost close to Rong Jin and the others.
Tie Qinglan watched as the hidden weapon flew forward and cried out in alarm. She was about to take out the sharp sword in her hand and rush back to fight the black-clothed man.
However, before Tie Qinglan could turn around, everyone heard a crisp voice not far away.
“Ding …”
A crisp collision sounded. Then, everyone saw the hidden weapon fired by the black-clothed man. It was as if something had bounced it back.
Everyone looked at this scene in astonishment. Obviously, none of them saw Rong Jin and the others attack. They even stood where they were and did not move. But why did the hidden weapon turn back on its own?
But now, Yun Xiao understood.
She couldn’t help but recall the scene she had seen in the Mausoleum Mountain of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which was similar to the current scene.
Using the sun or the moonlight to cast shadows over the mirror or the water surface, people who did not know would think that people were here, but the truth was that people were in another place.
A faint smile appeared in Gujing Wubo’s eyes. She did not expect that Rong Jin would actually think of a way to use this method. However, Yun Xiao had to say that this method was very good. It could not only prevent the enemy from discovering her tracks, but also ensure her safety.
Yun Xiao was secretly happy for Rong Jin’s wit in her heart, but this scene made the others frown secretly, not knowing what had happened.
Especially at this moment, Tie Qinglan frowned as she stared at Rong Jin and the others in front of her. The sharp sword in her hand was tightly clenched in her palm, and she didn’t know if she wanted to strike back with this sword.
At this moment, Tie Qinglan suddenly heard Yun Xiao’s voice, “It’s important to continue on your journey. Let’s go, Rong Jin and the others are not here.”
Yun Xiao’s words shocked everyone else. How could Rong Jin and the others not be here! They clearly saw it.
Yun Xiao saw that everyone was looking at her, as if they wouldn’t leave if she didn’t give an answer. Yun Xiao could only secretly sigh and whisper, “This is just a projection of Rong Jin and the others. It’s not a real person. Besides, even the projection you’re seeing right now might not be a real person.”
Yun Xiao’s words were somewhat twisted. Tie Qinglan did not react for a moment. She looked at Yun Xiao in surprise and heard Yun Xiao continue to say, “If you continue forward, you may see such a shadow. At that time, I will tell you again.”
Seeing this, Tie Qinglan could only retract the sword in her hand, and then she rode her horse to Yun Xiao’s side and stopped.
The team moved forward again. However, the black-clothed man leading the way secretly cast an unclear gaze in Yun Xiao’s direction. There was a hint of admiration in his gaze.
When they saw this scene for the first time, they were secretly shocked, but they didn’t expect Yun Xiao to see through the mysteries in it with a single glance.
The team moved forward once again, as expected of Yun Xiao. In front of them, they saw the same scene as they had just seen.
Tie Qinglan did not forget what Yun Xiao had said before. Even though she was surprised, she said, “Hurry up and say it now.”
Yun Xiao gestured for Tie Qinglan to go up and touch her, Seeing Tie Qinglan come forward, Yun Xiao said, “If my guess is correct, this should be a mirror. Then, using the principle of moonlight projection on the mirror, you can project a person’s shadow onto the mirror. You only need to keep these mirrors in an excellent position to project the things on the mirror very far.”
Tie Qinglan stepped forward and touched it. As expected of Yun Xiao, this was actually a mirror!
Tie Qinglan’s face was filled with surprise. She looked at Yun Xiao with surprise, “How did you know?”
Yun Xiao secretly smiled bitterly. “I’ve seen them once.” Just when she saw Rong Jin and the others’ illusory figures in the mirror, she should have thought of something. However, for a moment, she didn’t think of so much.
She secretly admired the person who came up with such a method. This method could be said to be unprecedented, but this person had thought of it.
Of course, Yun Xiao admired Rong Jin even more. He could actually think of this method at this time.
The few of them quickly moved forward. After encountering these mirrors several times, they finally arrived at an empty place. There was a tent in that empty place. Outside the tent, there were a few’people ‘sitting outside. From this angle, it was clear that the figures projected from the mirror were these’people’.
Yun Xiao dismounted from her horse and walked towards those strange’people ‘. As she approached, she discovered that these were all dummies. They were merely wearing the clothes of Rong Jin and the others.
The black-clothed man saw that Yun Xiao had already seen through the mysteries within, so he respectfully said, “Master is in the tent.”
Yun Xiao secretly nodded. When she raised her head again, she saw a familiar figure walking out of the tent.
The corner of his mouth revealed a faint smile. “You made it easy for me to find it.” Rong Jin was actually in such a place. If he didn’t know the exact location, he really wouldn’t be able to find it.
Rong Jin slowly walked forward and hugged Yun Xiao in his arms. He said softly, “Didn’t I tell you to wait for me in the tent? Why did you come out?”
Yun Xiao glared at Rong Jin with reproach and said coldly, “The troops of the Eastern Jin Dynasty have already arrived. How can I stay here?” If she hadn’t received the news that all the grain had been transferred by Rong Jin and the others, she would definitely be in a hurry now.
Rong Jin smiled apologetically. “I didn’t think carefully. Since you’re here, why don’t you come and watch the show with me?”
Seeing Rong Jin’s gentle expression, Yun Xiao knew that everything she had guessed was correct. Rong Jin had already prepared a solution to the invasion of the Eastern Jin army. Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared in Yun Xiao’s eyes and she nodded heavily, “Alright.”
Tie Qinglan saw the two figures standing together. Under the moonlight, the moonlight white robes seemed to emit a faint white halo. In addition, the two of them were warm and calm. Looking at it like this, it really looked like they were made in heaven and earth.
Tie Qinglan’s eyes were filled with envy.
