"Where do you think the assassin is most likely hiding?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

Wang Xinran said after a deep sigh, "This person fired two shots during the day at ten o'clock in the morning and two o'clock in the afternoon, if the third shot still follows the interval of four hours, it should be at six o'clock in the evening, if the fourth shot is fired, it should be ten o'clock in the evening, there are a large number of torches around the city, indicating that the people in the city are looking for this person everywhere, which also indirectly indicates that this sniper is likely to fire the fourth shot, otherwise, the people in the city will not go out of the city to search during this time period, so I feel that this person should still be near the city." ”

"Makes sense. Wu Zhongyuan nodded slowly.

Wang Xinran said, "It's about eleven o'clock in the evening, even if this person retreats immediately after firing the last shot, in a wild environment like this, he can only walk seven to eight miles at most in an hour." ”

"You mean that the eight-mile radius around the city is the danger zone?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"Yes, we should be safe until we get into that range. Wang nodded happily.

Wu Zhongyuan didn't say anything more, he stretched out his hand and hugged Wang Xinran, this place is still a hundred miles away from Lianshan City, and the walk takes too long, so he can only show his skills.

Wang Xinran knew what Wu Zhongyuan was going to do, and he didn't refuse, letting Wu Zhongyuan fly quickly from under the forest with his arms.

Not long after, the two came to the city within ten miles, because today is the end of the month, the dark moon has no light, the surroundings are pitch black, the nearest torch light from the two is far away from eight miles, limited by cognition, at this time people can not imagine how terrifying the range of this hidden weapon that can take people's lives, just according to the longest range of the bow and arrow to search.

"What are you doing now?" asked Wu Zhongyuan, who had never faced a sniper, had no experience, and had no clue.

"You don't have to do anything, go back the way you are," Wang said happily, "the enemy doesn't know that I've arrived, and if you show up, the enemy will guess that I'm also nearby, so go back and take this discharged puppy with you." ”

"Throw yourself here?" Wu Zhongyuan frowned.

Wang Xinran looked around with a gun, "Can you help if you stay?"

Wu Zhongyuan was speechless, he was too Xuan Xiu, his ears and eyes were clear, but no matter how keen his senses were, it was impossible for him to see far with the scope of a sniper rifle, in addition to that, he could also perceive the living creatures within a hundred zhang of the surroundings, but this distance was also within the range of the other party.

"Is there any way you can find this sniper?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

Wang Xinran shook his head, "There is nothing to do, but to try your luck, you come back in three days, we will still meet here." ”

"What are you kidding," Wu Zhongyuan shook his head again and again, "I won't throw you here, this person must not stay, he must be killed at all costs, you go to the limelight to hide and ambush, I will try to force this person out." ”

"What do you want to do?" Wang asked happily.

"Set fire," Wu Zhongyuan said in a deep voice, "Aren't snipers good at hiding their whereabouts, I'll directly burn all the woods around the city and see where this guy is hiding." ”

Wu Zhongyuan said nothing, and left without waiting for Wang Xinran to answer, he did not take Huang Mao'er away, but gave Huang Mao to protect Wang Xinran.

The two were originally located in the east of Lianshan, Wu Zhongyuan went around to the south of the city, took a deep breath, raised his breath and spoke, "I am Wu Zhongyuan, the Yellow Emperor of the Central Plains, shocked to hear that Prince Jiang was attacked, and I came to arrest the murderer, all the warriors in Lianshan listened to my orders, closed the city gate, and forbade anyone to enter and exit, all the warriors immediately went out of the city, surrounded Jiuli, set fire to the mountain, and desperately destroyed a large area of forests, and also put the murderer to death." ”

Wu Zhongyuan shouted, and the warriors who were searching shouted yes, and at the same time quickly moved around.

There are hundreds of warriors in the bear city, in addition to the warriors in the city, there are also high-level warriors from the major walled cities who rushed to hear the news, and in less than three minutes, the high-level warriors were in place, and most of the people holding torches were ordinary soldiers, and they were also moving quickly to the periphery.

Wu Zhongyuan raised his anger again and ordered, "Ten zhang and one person, set fire on all sides, watch left and right, if someone is attacked, immediately issue an alarm and inform the direction." ”

Jiang Zheng was assassinated, everyone in the Niu clan was angry and sad, listened to his order, and immediately obeyed, there are many dead trees and dry grass in the mountains, dry in winter, the grass and trees are flammable, and it didn't take long for fires to appear everywhere, and after a while, the fire became more and more vigorous.

Today, the south wind is blowing, and not only the Niu warriors on the south side are setting fires, but also on the east, west, and north sides, their purpose is to clear the cover and obstacles to ensure that the murderer cannot escape.

At this time, the warriors of all ranks in the city and the soldiers with torches in their hands had already taken up their positions, consolidating the encirclement from nine miles away, cutting down and moving the trees on the periphery of the fire while defending, so as to prevent the spread of the mountain fire and it was uncontrollable.

Worried that the Niu Clan warriors would accidentally injure Wang Xinran, Wu Zhongyuan raised his breath again and spoke, "Wearing black fur, those who bring yellow dogs are allies, don't be injured by mistake." ”

Nine miles is a large area, not nine miles in diameter, but nine miles on all sides of the city, burning so much woodland will definitely bring a lot of inconvenience to the future life of the bears, but this move also has another benefit, that is, he originally wanted to expand the cultivated area of the major Yi cities, and these burned forests can be reclaimed for cultivated land in the next year.

In fact, it is a very stupid practice to set fire to the mountain, and the price paid is also very large, its nature is equivalent to fishing with all its might, directly draining the pond water, and not afraid of not catching this cannibalism, but although this method is clumsy, it is very effective, like this kind of major order to burn forests on a large scale, and only Wu Zhongyuan has the right to give it.

After a while, the flames rose to the sky, and Jiang Nan and Jiang Dahua left the city and followed the sound to find Wu Zhongyuan.

Before the two arrived, Wu Zhongyuan had already cut down two big trees as cover, and when he saw the two coming, he hurriedly pulled the two behind the trees to prevent them from being attacked by snipers.

Jiang Nan was wearing a white dress, his face was full of sadness, and when he saw Wu Zhongyuan, he was sad in his heart, and he lowered his head and choked.

Wu Zhongyuan patted Jiang Nan on the shoulder, sighed and comforted, "You are mourning and changing, today is a thousand miles of red land, and you will never let the murderer escape." ”

Jiang Nan nodded sadly.

Wu Zhongyuan turned his head to look at Jiang Dahua, "Youshi and Haishi, but someone was attacked and killed?"

"Yes," Jiang Dahua nodded, "It was the harem maid who was assassinated in Youshi, and she died in the courtyard of the North Courtyard. The assassin was a cave god warrior who died on the east wall, and the wounds were all in the head, the same as the prince. ”

Wu Zhongyuan nodded slowly, Wu Junyue had described the situation of the assassinated guard before, the bullet penetrated from the left temple and flew out from the right temple, and the warrior was going up the steps at that time, so it can be seen that the sniper shot from Xishan at that time.

The third assassinated court maid in the north courtyard, and the fourth assassinated was the warrior who defended the city on the east side of the city wall, from which the assassin's movement trajectory can be deduced, this person is from west to north, and then to east.

It had only been an hour since the Assassin shot the warriors of the East Wall, no matter how fast the Assassin ran, it was impossible for him to jump out of the encirclement of Jiuli, and the Assassin should be in one of the northeast, east, and southwest, either very close to him or very close to Wang Xinran......
