Chapter 167: Corpse

As soon as it was dawn, there was movement in the guest room. Wu Zixu, www.biquge.info pen "Fun" Pavilion, turned over and sat up from the bed, put on his coat, and opened the door of the room.

Although there was a heavy rainstorm last night, the weather today is very fine. Although it was not yet dawn, I could see that the clouds above me had faded a lot.

Wu Zixu, who had been working all night with his eyes almost staring, wanted to go out with a pair of blood-red eyes at this time.

"Big brother, you can eat something first, you can't get out of the rain so hard last night, let you rest and recuperate enough to look for the eldest sister, you just don't listen. Look at the way you look now, how can you go out to find the eldest sister! ”

Wu Tianhua walked out of another room, called out to Wu Zixu, who was going out, looked at his bloodshot eyes, and couldn't help frowning.

"Alas, I also want to be refreshed, but I can't sleep after tossing and turning all night. I don't know what happened to Rou'er, I still haven't dared to tell my mother the news of Rou'er's disappearance. ”

Looking at Wu Tianhua and Wu Tianqiu, Wu Zixu sighed.

"I'm not going to eat breakfast anymore, I'd better go out and look for it again with the people my father sent."

After saying that, Wu Zixu turned around and walked down the corridor.

"Amitabha!"

A Buddha horn came, Wu Zixu stopped and looked at the presiding master Kongzhi who came not far away.

"Master Kongzhi, why are you here so early?"

Wu Zixu hurriedly saluted Master Kongzhi, he was too nervous and flustered yesterday, and he didn't talk to Master Kongzhi much.

Later, it was Master Kongzhi who knew what was going on and sent a little novice to the Prime Minister's Mansion to report the message to Wu Yunyang. The drugs in Cuiqin and others were also removed by the Master of Empty Wisdom who was proficient in medical science, so Wu Zixu was really very grateful to Master Empty Wisdom.

"Master Wu Shi is not welcome, until Lord Wu Shi will definitely go into the mountain to track, I have arranged for twenty warrior monks to accompany me. These warrior monks are all people who are familiar with the surrounding terrain, and I believe that it should be of some help to Master Wu to find Miss Wu's traces. ”

Master Kongzhi didn't say anything superfluous, but directly handed over the twenty warrior monks to Wu Zixu's hands.

"Thank you, Master."

Knowing that having these twenty people to help would save a lot of things, Wu Zixu hurriedly gave a grateful salute.

"Okay, finding someone is also a physically demanding thing, you go get something to eat first. Don't worry, yesterday's heavy rain was very urgent, and it was so heavy that no one could still rush under that heavy rain.

The ground outside is still muddy, and even if the kidnappers are in a hurry, they will not be able to walk fast, so let's eat something before leaving. ”

Seeing Wu Zixu's impatience, Master Kongzhi softly reassured.

As the saying goes, sharpening knives and cutting wood, no matter how anxious you are, you can't let people go into the mountains hungry to find people. Besides, after really chasing the enemy, you have to start a fierce battle, do you all go hungry to fight?

"Okay, I'll go eat."

After thinking for a while, Wu Zixu nodded.

He was worried about Wu Tianrou's safety and couldn't eat, but he was the master of these guards, how could others dare to eat if he didn't eat, he couldn't let everyone skip dinner, so Wu Zixu, who understood what Master Kongzhi meant, changed his direction and headed towards the canteen.

When everyone had finished their breakfast and gathered in the square in front of the main hall, the sun was about to rise, and it was the first hour of the day.

After simply assigning their respective tasks, forty or fifty people quickly walked down the mountain gate and looked in the direction where Wu Tianrou might be taken away.

These people, Wu Zixu divided them into four teams, three of which chased in three directions, only in the direction of the main road leading to Anjing City, Wu Zixu did not send anyone to check.

Because he knew very well that the kidnappers had kidnapped Wu Tianrou, and it was impossible for him to return to Anjing City. In addition, the road leading to Anjing City is crowded with pedestrians, and if there are suspicious people passing by, they will definitely be seen.

The group of people led by Wu Zixu personally looked for the direction in which Wu Tianrou met the bandits, which belonged to the northeast direction, and was slightly off from the direction of the main road back to Anjing City.

There are also many mountains here, and the woods are dense, so it is easy for Tibetans to hide, so Wu Zixu discussed with several warrior monks and looked for them here.

After walking less than five miles, they made a discovery on the edge of a mountain forest.

"What's going on up front?"

Wu Zixu looked at the few people gathered in one place, and couldn't help but ask loudly.

"Young master, a corpse was found in front of me, looking at the clothes, it should be from Yanhuo Country."

A guard hurriedly ran over and pointed to a place more than 100 meters ahead.

"Yanhuo people? How can there be people from the Flame Nation here? ”

Listening to the guard's words, Wu Zixu frowned, jumped off the horse and walked over quickly.

pushed away the few people who were encircling, and a male corpse that fell under the tree appeared in front of Wu Zixu's eyes. The male corpse was wearing a fiery red robe, and the collar and cuffs of the robe were all embroidered with flame marks, which was indeed the unique costume of the Yanhuo Country.

"Young master, this is the symbol of Zoroastrianism, the state religion of Yanhuo Country, and this man should be a Zoroastrian believer."

Qu Wei received the order yesterday afternoon and led the team to help Wu Zixu find Wu Tianrou, but unfortunately, they just started searching for a short time, and the downpour poured down, so they had to return in vain and wait for the heavy rain to stop.

But who would have thought that this would be the whole night?

This night, Qu Wei was also in a hurry, and he didn't have a good rest at all, you know, under such a heavy rainstorm, even if the kidnappers left any clues, they were all washed away. Therefore, Qu Wei's heart is even more bottomless about finding Wu Tianrou.

"How did you die?"

This person was full of muddy water, and some of them had already begun to dry up at this time, Wu Zixu had just come over, and he didn't check carefully, he asked Qu Wei directly.

"It should have died from a knife, just now I looked at him in reverse, and there was a deep knife wound on his back, which caused him to lose too much blood, and it was probably because of the super heavy rain last night that he lost his life."

As he spoke, Qu Wei turned the corpse over again, directly exposing the wound on the man's back.

"Can you guess the approximate time of death?"

Squatting down, Wu Zixu took a closer look at the wound, and couldn't help but estimate the type of weapon in his heart.

"It's hard to estimate that I was drenched in heavy rain all night, and I guess I'll have to die for at least five or six hours.

Looking at the imprint beside him, he should still have a companion, and there is more than one horse's hoof print here. And the direction they came from should be that the warrior monks mentioned the mountain range. ”

Gesturing a few horseshoe prints beside the corpse with his hand, Qu Wei stood up and looked into the distance.

"Speed up, in which direction."

Wu Zixu also stood up, looked into the distance and squinted his eyes, and then shouted loudly.

Then they all said in harmony, and jumped on their horses and ran toward it.

Wu Zixu didn't know what the reason was, but he felt that he would definitely be able to gain something by chasing in this direction, and he couldn't help but throw the horsewhip faster. (To be continued.) )
