Chapter 257: Alignment of Goals
Zhu Mingyun was also frightened by his assumptions, and he didn't know why he blurted out. The people who can go to death row are all extremely vicious, and they say that they can carry a person on their backs and walk with their height and strength, and even a weak scholar will not leave such traces. There are only two possibilities, one is that the person being dragged is a big fat man, but Shuyan has always been thin, let alone staying on death row for so long, and the other possibility is that the manpower of the tow is too small.
And those old, weak, sick and disabled people have long been shot near the paddock, and they are definitely not weak people who can escape here.
Just when Zhu Mingyun was puzzled, Hu Ying was also frightened by this inference, no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't connect the two drag marks on the ground with the appearance of the other party, but Zhu Mingyun could tell the identity of the other party in detail.
"There was no blood in the area, it could have been covered up, or there were no injuries here." Zhu Mingyun shook off his speculation about the towing man and found that there was no blood on the way, indicating that Shu Yan was not injured, and he was relieved. Immediately, he saw several newly broken marks on a tree not far away, which once again confirmed his thoughts.
"Probably...... He's all dead. As soon as Hu Ying opened his mouth, he was glared back by Zhu Mingyun's murderous eyes, and he hurriedly changed the subject: "Then who will take him away, young master!" Could it be King Jing's people? If so, their hard work will be in vain.
Zhu Mingyun shook his head, pondered for a while, and said, "No, if it was King Jing, he would have been taken away a long time ago, or killed on the spot, it is impossible to take him away on a stretcher with such great effort." Maybe he should think in a good direction, the other party may just be afraid that Shu Yan will be discovered. "I think the person who took him away would not only not hurt him, but maybe protect him." ”
And it doesn't matter what the other party's purpose is to take Shuyan away. As long as you follow the traces and keep chasing them, you will definitely find the difference.
"But where are we looking?" Hu Ying was a little confused, as far as he found it, there were already three directions, and he didn't know where the other party was going.
"This person still has some skills, and he knows how to cover up his traces." Zhu Mingyun smiled lightly and pointed to the traces that were initially discovered, "Go straight in this direction." You will find someone. "Since the other party has little strength, they will definitely not go up, and the most trouble-free journey is all the way down. As long as they get out of this range, they will definitely find the right direction.
Just as Zhu Mingyun jumped on his horse and was about to chase after him, a huge thunder sounded, startling them. It's a sunny day. How could thunder suddenly sound for no reason. Could there be any variables?
Hu Ying looked at the foggy and dim road ahead, his heart was a little hairy, and he was worried: "Young master, the weather has changed, I'm afraid it's going to rain, or let's go back." ”
Zhu Mingyun shook his head and refused, and said firmly: "No, you have to continue looking." If it does rain, it will be difficult to find traces of them by then. "The rain washes away the traces they leave behind. And if any of them get hurt, this weather will definitely make them even more uncomfortable.
Seeing that the master was so resolute, Hu Ying had no choice but to bite the bullet, but he didn't expect that before they left, Gu Lianzhao actually chased here.
Both of them were stunned, their eyes facing each other, as if they had captured important information in each other's eyes, and both of them involuntarily clenched the weapons on their bodies.
"Gu Yishi, we are really destined." Zhu Mingyun smiled at him, staring at his searching gaze, and had a thought in his heart, could it be that Gu Lianzhao had the same purpose as him, or that it was actually Gu Lianzhao's person who took away Shuyan.
"Why did Master Zhu Shaozhuang come here, it seems that he has already harvested?" Gu Lianzhao snorted coldly, his eyes quickly noticed the corpse on the ground, he took a closer look, his face changed suddenly, his eyes swept towards Zhu Mingyun, and he asked sharply, "You killed him?!" ”
Zhu Mingyun was secretly surprised in his heart, but the corners of his mouth hooked up a faint smile, and he asked rhetorically: "Why are you so nervous?" ”
Gu Lianzhao jumped off the horse, sighed at the other party's snort, checked it, and preliminarily confirmed that this person was not killed by Zhu Mingyun. But he was also very puzzled that Zhu Mingyun would appear here, he looked at him suspiciously, and asked as if interrogating a prisoner: "I asked you, besides him, have you seen anyone else." ”
When Hu Ying heard Gu Lianzhao's tone, he instantly burst out, and was stopped by Zhu Mingyun reaching out.
He looked at Gu Lianzhao with a serious face funny, and smiled leisurely: "Who do you want me to see?" ”
Gu Lianzhao frowned, he didn't dare to guess Zhu Mingyun's thoughts easily, putting aside the factor of Ranran, he is now the person King Jing wants to get rid of, but Zhu Mingyun is King Jing's new favorite, to say that they have the same purpose, it can only mean one thing: King Jing is a springboard.
The two of them competed with each other for a long time, and were about to decide the winner when another voice broke the awkward atmosphere.
"You killed him?"
Gu Lianzhao and Zhu Mingyun turned their heads in unison, and saw Nanshan's face surprised, and the atmosphere became even more tense.
If both of them are King Jing's restless factors, then Nanshan is undoubtedly King Jing's eyes and ears. Although he entered the palace not long ago, with Mr. Hu's guarantee, he immediately became King Jing's personal bodyguard, becoming one of the few people who could enter King Jing's bedroom. They really couldn't think of any reason for Nanshan to betray King Jing, so under the two disadvantages, Gu Lianzhao and Zhu Mingyun tacitly chose to believe each other and maintain opposition to Nanshan.
Zhu Mingyun is not familiar with Nanshan, he only knows that he is the person who follows Ranran, so for him to appear in Jingwang's Mansion, he just thinks that he has turned his back on Ranran. He smiled and quipped, "I have a hunch that the three of us might be looking for the same person." ”
Gu Lianzhao glanced back at him, and couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth: "Then it depends on whose luck is good, find it first." ”
"Why are you here? What about people! Nanshan looked at the two people in front of him nervously, thinking that he couldn't cope with one Gu Lianzhao, plus one Zhu Mingyun, he was afraid that he would fail miserably here.
Originally, he just wanted to send Ranran to a safe town and then leave, but he didn't expect that Ranran would rather use a trick to escape than let him send it. He searched around to no avail, so he had to return in disappointment, and as soon as he returned to the palace, he was severely counted down by Mr. Hu, and asked him to hurry up with King Jing and their team. However, King Jing was not angry at his trespassing, but only gave him two portraits, and told him to find the people in the paintings and kill them with his own hands.
As a result, before they could find it, they met Gu Lianzhao and them, and Nanshan suddenly had an uneasy premonition.
"I have a suggestion, since the three of us have the same purpose, we will leave other interests alone for the time being, it is important to find someone first, and then we will have a showdown when we are found. Otherwise, if we continue to fight like this, maybe the person we are looking for will already be caught by someone else. (To be continued......)
