Mizuki led the way while Ito Masahiko followed behind. Their speed was extremely fast, which fully reflected their current mood.
Ito Masahiko followed behind Mizuno with a puzzled expression on his face. Mizuno was now heading in a completely different direction from the route they had agreed on.
"Did you take the wrong path? Where do you want to go?”Ito Masahiko couldn't help but ask Mizuki.
Shui Yun said faintly,"Just follow me."”
Ito Masahiko wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, he still followed Mizuki.
The two of them quickly moved forward. After walking for about ten minutes, a group of people suddenly appeared in front of them. When they walked in front of them, they saw that these people were the merchant group, Maitekai, and the others.
When they saw Mizuki and Ito Masahiko, Mai Te Kai and Xi Ri Hong immediately went up to them. Kai asked anxiously,""Mizuki, Ito-sensei, are you alright?”
Seeing that they were safe and sound, Shui Yun heaved a sigh of relief and said,"We're fine."
Ito Masahiko was full of doubts. He asked Maitekai,""Kai, Hong, why are you here?”
According to the route they had set up earlier, Maitekai and the others should be in another direction.
"It was Shui Yun who made us change our route," Xi Rihong said softly.”
Ito Masahiko's expression changed. When?"
"Shuiyun told me before we left.”Xi Rihong said in a low voice. Previously, when Jiao Du had appeared, Shui Yun had whispered many things into Xi Rihong's ear. It was just that no one had noticed.
Ito Masahiko glanced at Mizuki and saw that Mizuki's expression was cold. He asked Sunset Red,""What exactly happened?"
Red blinked her eyes in confusion and said,""I'm not too sure either. I'm just following Shui Yun's instructions.”
Ito Masahiko's expression changed. After pondering for a moment, he finally asked Mizuki,""Shuiyun, what is going on? Why are they here? What did you say to them?”
Mizuki glanced at Ito Masahiko indifferently but did not say anything. Mizuki's reaction made Ito Masahiko's expression sink. He knew that Mizuki must be blaming him for what had just happened, but Ito Masahiko did not think that he had done anything wrong.
Seeing that Mizuno didn't want to talk about it, Ito Masahiko could only ask Xi Rihong again,""Hong, what's going on? Tell me clearly."
Red stammered a few words and finally scratched her head."Ito-sensei, you should ask Shuiyun. I can't explain it clearly.”It wasn't that Sunset Red didn't want to say it, but she was just following Mizuiyun's instructions. She couldn't figure out the reason behind it. Ito Masahiko asking her to say it was really too difficult for her.
Seeing Ito Masahiko's troubled expression, both Mai Tekai and Xi Rihong felt that something was wrong. As a girl, Xi Rihong's sixth sense was stronger. She asked Ito Masahiko and Shui Yun doubtfully,"Ito-sensei, Mizui-kun, what's wrong?”
Ito Masahiko didn't say anything, while Mizui-kun said with an unchanged expression,""Nothing happened between us?"
Shui Yun didn't want to affect Mai Te Kai and Xi Ri Hong because of what had just happened, so he smiled and said,""Just now, Ito and I fought against that Kakudo. That person was too strong, and we spent a lot of effort to get away.”
"Oh." Hong and Kai did not doubt Shui Yun's words.
"I was the one who made them change their route," Shui Yun said."As for why I made them change their route, it's very simple. It's because the possibility of escaping is greater this way."”
Ito Masahiko's face flashed with confusion, but before he could ask, Mizuki explained,""I chose to stay and fight Jiao Du because I wanted to delay him and give the caravan more time to prepare.”
"From the very beginning, I knew that we wouldn't be able to defeat that person, so I came up with a plan. First, let the merchant group leave the sight of Jiaodu, then quickly split into two groups. One group will take most of the goods and advance in the other direction, while the remaining group will take a small number of goods and boxes filled with stones and continue on the previous route.”
"After Xiang Xiang catches up with the caravan, he will find that the caravan is divided into two teams. Because the tracks left by the carriages filled with stones are deeper, he will probably chase after the carriages filled with stones. The trucks that were transporting the stones would immediately abandon their goods and scatter after a certain distance. When Horn caught up, he would find a small amount of goods and countless stones. This way, when Horn knew that he had been tricked, he would definitely be furious and give up on the rare goods in front of him to chase after the other teams.”
"At this moment, the people who had just scattered quickly returned and dragged the goods away. In this way, the small amount of goods would be preserved.”
"On the other side, after calculating the time, we will split into two teams again. Just like the first time, we will use them to confuse Jiao Du. "As long as we can confuse him and meet up here, no matter how fast Jiao Du is, he won't be able to catch up to the caravan. By the time he catches up, we'll already be in the Country of Fire's capital. No matter how bold he is, he won't be able to charge into the capital and kill us.”
"Wait a minute." Suddenly, Ito Masahiko interrupted Mizuki's explanation and asked with a frown,""How can you be so sure that he won't chase after us, but rather the caravan?”
Shui Yun said faintly,"Inferences."”
Ito Masahiko was surprised. What do you mean?"
Shui Yun said,"Judging from the repeated attacks on the caravans in Jiao Du, this person is essentially a greedy person. The scale and wealth of the caravans we're escorting this time are far greater than the caravans he robbed before. With his greedy personality, our lives are simply not worth mentioning compared to this wealth.”
Ito Masahiko still asked in a deep voice,""Are you so sure that Jiao Du is a greedy person and will pursue the caravan? What if you're wrong?"
Mizuki knew that Ito Masahiko had been suspicious and dissatisfied with him since the beginning. People's emotions were very strange. Once they had a bad impression, it was not so easy to change it back. Just like Ito Masahiko now, because he had doubts about Mizumo, he had doubts everywhere.
Shui Yun didn't care about this and continued calmly,""As I said, this is a deduction and not absolute. However, from the current situation, my deduction doesn't seem to be wrong.”
Indeed, now that everyone had gathered here, less than one-tenth of the goods had been lost. It could be said that Mizuno's plan was almost a perfect success. Even Ito Masahiko had nothing to say about this.
