257 hiding stunts, fierce fights in the forest

Before this side was settled, a group of men and horses hurried back.

"Master Zhan, Xing Zhutou, blood stains were found in the grass outside-"

When Zhan Yang and Xing Yang heard this, they immediately asked those officials to escort these girls back to the county government, and they continued to track down the murderer.

That murderer is very likely to be a spy of the enemy country, or the general Feng Yan. Catching him is more important than anything else.

Since these girls have been rescued, it is okay to think about it, so it is better to send someone to send them to the yamen first, and then let the families of these girls come and take them back.

Coming to the grass where the catchers found the bloodstains, follow the direction of the bloodstains to a path.

"Xing Zhutou, Master Zhan, the direction of the bloodstains is in the direction of Yaozhou, the murderer must be in the direction of Yaozhou, let's chase-"

Xing Yang didn't answer, but looked at Zhan Yang beside him.

The catcher was also looking at him, knowing that here, I was afraid that I still had to listen to him and let him make up his mind.

Although the county yamen and the Qincha guard are not subordinate to each other, they usually perform their own duties. But the person in front of him is the captain of the guard in front of Lord Bao, and he is still the four-rank guard with a knife who is personally appointed by the emperor today, and now he stays with Lord Bao to listen to it.

And about Zhan Yang's name, they have already heard of it.

He is not only the number one master in the court, but also a good man who values love and righteousness. Before entering the office, he was also a famous bloody man on the rivers and lakes.

These fast catchers knew that they were going to come out with Zhan Yang to handle the case and arrest the spies this time, and they were also excited for a while.

Every dynasty has its own idols, and here is no exception. And Zhan Yang, the blood-clothed man, is undoubtedly the idol of those who practice martial arts.

Zhan Yang shook his head after carefully examining the bloodstains left by the murderer.

"That murderer never left this way."

"How can Lord Zhan see it?" It was Xing Yang who asked this. He had also checked it, and there was nothing wrong with the blood stains and footprints on the ground. If it is said. The man deliberately left this line of blood, so you will see two lines of footprints on this road. He'd just seen that there was only one footprint on the path.

Looking at the shape of its blood stains, and the traces left by the blood stains as they were dragged away, he was sure that the man had left the road.

"Think about it, if you were the murderer, would you leave such a clear trace for us to follow?" Zhan Yang continued: "Let's not talk about whether that person is Cangdi's general Feng Yan, let's just say that the ordinary murderer, judging from the fact that he killed the owner and the proprietress of the inn, he must know this well." A chopstick kills. How murderous and terrible is this? After killing someone, he jumped out of a window and fled. There was still a long time between the time he killed them and the time our men arrived here. He could have erased the marks he had left behind, and even if he couldn't, he wouldn't have left such obvious marks—"

"Could it be because he was injured and didn't have the extra ability to erase his traces?" Xing Yang asked imagining what might happen at that time.

"It can't be."

“……”

"First, judging by the killing of the innkeeper and the hostess. The killer may have been wounded, but he still managed to fight the virus. Second, if I were the murderer, I would not have left such fatal marks on myself even though I knew that I was seriously injured and could not escape the pursuit of the yamen. Because of this. Even if I tried to run, I couldn't get far. It is possible that without the arrival of the yamen, I will fall down on my own. ”

"Lord Zhan means to say. That killer is deliberately luring us into chasing us in the wrong direction so that he can escape our tracking? ”

Xing Yang was not a stupid person, and he quickly realized what Zhan Yang meant.

Zhan Yang nodded, "Not bad." That's exactly what I meant. ”

"Also, if this person is Feng Yan, the general of Cangdi Kingdom. Then it would be even more unlikely that he would take this path—"

"Why is that?" Xing Yang couldn't figure it out, "If it's really that Feng Yan, he should understand that this Xuzhou City is already the land of the Longtan Tiger's Den, and as long as he stays here for a day, he will be in danger of being captured by us at any time." If he goes to Yaozhou, it is very likely that he will escape our pursuit, and he should not let go of this chance to live-"

Feng Yan was caught in the territory of Bian State, then he would become a prisoner of war, and I am afraid that it would be difficult to die at that time.

A person as proud as he would rather die than be a prisoner of war in an enemy country.

Many people should know what kind of person they are, even if they have never seen them before. What's more, that person is none other than the main battle faction of Cangdi No. 1.

His lifelong wish was to let Cangdi's iron cavalry walk on every corner of Bian Kingdom, and play Cangdi's triumphant song of victory above the walls of Bian Kingdom.

The power system of Cangdi is different from that of Bian, and the king of Cangdi is not like the king of Bian, who has supreme power. In Cangdi, the real power is in the hands of the general Feng family, and sometimes, the general's decision can even affect the succession to the throne.

How could a person like this easily admit defeat and become a pawn of the enemy country to hinder his own country?

Zhan Yang looked at the line of blood on the road, and slowly spoke: "It is rumored that General Cangdi Feng Yan is cunning, resourceful, cautious, and thoughtful. I also heard that when he was a child, he broke through the tiger forest alone, and he was brave and strong-willed. He also led hundreds of lone soldiers to fight with the enemy for three days and nights, and finally fought back, cutting off the heads of enemy generals in the midst of thousands of troops and horses, and standing in front of the formation. Such a powerful and cautious character, even if there is really a tiger and wolf in front and a pursuer in the back, he will not be a deserter, let alone leave a bloodstain full of flaws in this line-"

Moreover, since Feng Yan dared to venture to Xuzhou City at this time, he must have something extremely important to do. His business is not done yet, and it is impossible to leave. Even if his affairs have been done, if he wants to go out of the city and return to the Cangdi military camp, he must go to this Xuzhou City. That Yaozhou just made him farther and farther away from his own military camp-

Zhan Yang said as he squatted down and pointed to the line of blood on the path.

"You see, this line of bloodstains broke off when it came to this place. The blood stains were still very clear in this place, and when they got here, they suddenly broke off, which didn't make sense. Also, I just looked around, and there was no sign of the grass around it, and the branches of the trees had not been broken recently, indicating that the man had not left from anywhere else. The only possibility is that person ......"

"What's wrong with that guy?" Xing Yang waited for a long time and didn't wait for him to continue, so he couldn't help asking.

"Still here! ――”

As soon as the word "er" came out, Zhan Yang's sword shook in the air, and he drew his sword and stabbed it under a big tree in front of him on the left.

Xing Yang jumped, wondering what Zhan Yang had stabbed on that big tree. The big tree is ancient and forested, and the two of them can't hug it, and the leaves have already fallen off, and it is impossible to hide it bare.

But the next moment, something happened that shocked Xing Yang.

The big tree that didn't move suddenly looked like boiling water, and small bubbles bubbled up on the bark, and then, just as Zhan Yang's sword was about to pierce the tree, a person suddenly jumped out of it!

As soon as he jumped out, he didn't like to fight, and threw a few smoke bombs casually, and while he was dodging here, a few ups and downs left the grass.

It is also the location of this black shop, and it is close to the west of the city, so there is an open grass on this side of the inn, and a few trees of large and small sizes.

People who usually work here will want to come here to be quiet, rest, and have some rural feeling after eating.

If you knew that a murderous person would suddenly appear in the trees here, I am afraid that no one would dare to stay here for a moment.

The cadres of the county yamen were already frightened stupid by this sudden change, and they couldn't figure out how such a good person could grow into a tree? Such a big person, even if he hides in a tree, he can't hide it~~

But what they couldn't understand was how Lord Zhan could see that the person was hiding in the tree, and stabbed the person with a sword, forcing the person out.

After the smoke bomb dissipated, Xing Yang swept the front and regained the clarity of his sight.

Zhan Yang was gone, and just a moment after the smoke bomb was thrown just now, he saw an extremely fast figure chasing after the murderer.

"You guys are waiting here, I'll go after Lord Zhan—"

Master Zhan went alone, he was not at ease. If something happens to him, their yamen will not be able to explain it to Lord Bao.

Xing Yang quickly chased after him with a knife, and as soon as he chased out, he heard the sound of a fight in the woods in front of him.

Zhan Yang was fighting with three masked men in black, and the three men in black were covered in black shirts and black cloths, revealing only a pair of eyes.

Their moves were ruthless and cruel, and their moves were deadly, and the three of them had very high martial arts skills, and they cooperated seamlessly, and for a while, Zhan Yang couldn't force the three to retreat.

Zhan Yang was anxious to chase the murderer, but he didn't expect to kill the three black-clothed men halfway and block his way. He knew that the three men were deliberately trying to delay him so that the man could get out of the way.

After such a while, that person is probably already far away. When Zhan Yang thought of this, he used his tricks again and again, wanting to force those three people back.

It was as if they had seen his purpose, and they stood in front of him desperately, swearing to protect the man from his departure.

Seeing this, Xing Yang hurriedly joined the battle circle with a knife.

"Master Zhan, leave it to me here, you go after the murderer-"

"Xing Zhutou?" It's not that Zhan Yang is not at ease, Xing Yang's martial arts are very strong, but these three people's kung fu is weird, and their shots are extremely fast, he is only afraid that Xing Yang will not be able to parry for a while, and he will fall in love with them.

"Master Zhan, don't worry about chasing the murderer, I can still stop it here-"

"Good! Xing Zhutou is careful, I'll leave it to you here-"
