Yuan Mutou and the sergeant of the Wushu battalion went all the way back to Shangluo, and after walking for a long time, he vaguely felt that something was wrong, along the way, Liu Ling and Ma Jing were avoiding their pursuit, and they didn't dare to show up easily, let alone make a move, why did they kill a whole team of dart masters at once here in Anhui, and they knew that they were chasing, and they still stayed to refine the corpse qi, could it be that there was something strange here in Anhui, or that there was an ambush. In this way, Sun Lin is very likely to be in danger when he returns to Wankou now, so he immediately stopped and let the soldiers go back to Shangluo first, while he turned around and chased Sun Lin in the direction of Wankou.

After Sun Lin and Yuan Mutou separated, he went directly to Wankou, walked for more than an hour and entered the city, he inquired about the location of the dart board to which the dart masters belonged, in order to avoid some unnecessary trouble, he prepared an envelope paper, and wrote down the location of the bodies of the dart masters after cremation, while no one was paying attention, he threw it at the door, and after seeing a dart master pick it up, he was ready to leave.

I thought that this was the end of the matter, Sun Lin was about to leave, when he saw someone suddenly walking towards him, about thirty years old, stocky, eyes narrowed into a line, rosacea, thick lips, grinning at him. Sun Lin's scalp suddenly went numb, he barely squeezed out a smile, and called out helplessly: "Senior Brother Feng." ”

"Hehe, Senior Brother Sun, why are you here?" This Senior Brother Feng in Sun Lin's mouth is Feng Xunzhi, the eldest disciple of the Guigu Martial Sect, although Feng Xunzhi is a senior disciple of the Martial Arts, he is extremely lazy and good at drinking, but the kung fu of the true martial arts is extraordinary, in Qinggu he often teases a few junior brothers and sisters, so most people don't like this senior brother very much, Sun Lin is the same, but at the moment, he can't dodge it head-on. I could only reply: "I happened to pass by, ready to go back to the valley." ”

"What a coincidence, what a coincidence, I also have to go back, piece by piece." Before he finished speaking, Feng Xunzhi put one hand on Sun Lin's shoulder and forcibly pulled Sun Lin away.

It was almost evening, the two walked into a restaurant, Sun Lin knew that Feng Xun knew good wine, and there was no way, so he ordered some wine and food, and Feng Xunzhi ate and drank.

Sun Lin simply ate something, and when he saw that his senior brother was already three points drunk, he knew that he would definitely have to spend the night in Yukou tonight. In this way, he was also a little tired after fighting with Liu Ling Ma Jing in the afternoon, so he had a good rest tonight and set off back to the valley early tomorrow morning. Feng Xunzhi pulled Sun Lin to drink from time to time, Sun Lin often thought of Wei Qingyue since the first battle of Weixukou, as if everything had just happened, but the reality told him that Wei Qingyue was Wang Pingyao's wife, it is estimated that now the Wei family is already preparing for the wedding of the two, he was a little depressed when he thought of this, so he took Feng Xunzhi's wine glass and drank it in a big gulp. By the time the two finished eating and drinking, they were already a little drunk, and the shopkeeper of the restaurant told them that there was a vacant room upstairs, so the two of them would stay in the store for one night. Feng Xunzhi and Sun Lin went upstairs, chose guest rooms respectively, and slept at the end.

At the door of the restaurant, a group of carriages passed by slowly, and an old man who was meditating on the car suddenly opened his eyes and said to the two young people beside him: "The things have arrived, tell them to act tonight." A young man agreed, jumped out of the carriage, and disappeared into the darkness.

It was late at night, Yuan Mutou searched for a long time in Wankou and did not find Sun Lin, he was a little worried, but it was late, so he could only find an inn to live in, and decided that if there was nothing unusual in Wankou tomorrow, he would go back to Shangluo. As soon as I walked to the door of an inn, I saw a troupe coming. Yuan Mutou stopped and watched for a while, and found that there were a lot of people in this troupe, there were nearly twenty people, men and women were all in a hurry, and at the moment when he passed by the troupe, he vaguely felt a chill. Yuan Mutou's face changed, he turned around and paused for a moment, and when the troupe walked a little farther, he quickly followed.

This night, in the city of Wankou, something strange did happen. Wankou is located in the middle of Jiujiang Port and Misukou, both ports are extremely important military towns, so Wankou has become a transit point, so people come and go more frequently than ordinary towns. In order to ensure the safety of the material and military supplies in the two military towns, there were many local garrisons in Anhuikou. After nightfall, about 600 sergeants in nearly 30 tents in a camp west of the local garrison disappeared en masse.

Early the next morning, the Wankou government received the news of the disappearance of the sergeant, and at first thought it was some military operation, but when the local officials and the general of the garrison arrived at the camp, they found that the situation was very strange and terrifying. The thirty tents were covered in blood, and it was clear that the sergeants had engaged in a terrible fight, but it was puzzling why there was no sign of any sergeant, and if the opponent had come in enough people to quickly clean the camp after the fight, not a single body had been found in the surrounding miles. Linked to the disappearance of the body of the dart master yesterday, the officials of the government and the generals of the garrison all broke out in a cold sweat on their backs. Fu Zhi, the commander of Wankou County, is over fifty years old, and he originally wanted to work in An An for a few more years to get old, but at this moment, such a strange thing happened, and six hundred garrisons were involved, and he could only hope that Zhu Gang, the commander of the garrison, could find the murderer and solve this strange matter. After discussion, the two decided to return to the government and the camp first, and immediately sent someone to Jianye, reported to the imperial court, and asked the royal family to send someone to assist in dealing with it.

Sun Lin woke up in the morning and went to find Feng Xunzhi, planning to go back to the valley together, but found that Senior Brother Feng was not in his room, and asked the restaurant shopkeeper and Xiao Er, but they didn't see Feng Xunzhi leave. Although this senior brother is usually lazy and likes to play tricks on people, it is the first time he has met him without saying goodbye, Sun Lin was a little annoyed, so he went out of the restaurant and planned to take a look around, if there was no news from the senior brother for a while, he decided to go back to Qinggu first. As soon as he arrived on the street, he found that many officials and sergeants were frequently inquiring and searching for something, Sun Lin must have something happened in Wankou last night, Senior Brother Feng disappeared at this time, Sun Lin hurriedly went back to the restaurant and asked the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper didn't know very well, but he probably knew that many sergeants had disappeared in the tent of the local garrison camp last night. Sun Lin heard that many sergeants were also missing, and he began to worry about Feng Xunzhi. I asked the restaurant shopkeeper about the direction of the barracks, and hurried over.

Sun Lin came to the vicinity of the military camp where the accident occurred, and as soon as he approached the military camp, he vaguely smelled a bloody smell, but at this moment, the surrounding area of the military camp had been blocked by the garrison, and he thought of the military department Zhonglang on his body, so he took it out, and the guard sergeant saw that it was the document of the military department, and quickly let it go, and immediately went to the camp to inform Zhu Gang. Sun Lin entered the barracks, he walked one after another for a while, and every time he arrived at the camp tent, he could see a lot of bloodstains, and it seemed that the fighting here last night was very tragic. He continued to walk for a while, and found a wooden knife, some wooden blades used by the sergeants in the military camp to prevent injuries to prevent injuries, but this kind of wooden blades are extremely rough, and the handle in front of him is finely made, and there are carvings, which are obviously not used by the sergeants, but more like props and blades in the troupe. He leaned down and picked it up, and after looking at it, the handle of the knife was a little black, and Sun Lin was sure that it was corroded by corpse qi. His face was gloomy, and he was even more worried about Feng Xunzhi's safety.

At this time, Zhu Gang and Fu Zhi had already come over, and they saw that Sun Lin was very young, but the documents of the military department were fake, and they were not suspicious. The two asked Sun Lin if he had made a discovery. Sun Lin didn't have a clue for a while, he asked the two if he had seen a man in his thirties with a strong body, small eyes, and a wine trough nose. Both said they had not met. Sun Lin was stunned on one side, suddenly a little at a loss, Zhu Gang saw Sun Lin distracted, so he asked in a low voice: "General Sun Zhonglang, what should we do next?" ”

Sun Lin was asked by Zhu Gang, came back to his senses, and replied: "I see that the officials and sergeants in the city are searching and investigating, first find a way to find out if there are any suspicious people in the past few days, by the way, is there a troupe in the city recently?" ”

Zhu Gang heard Sun Lin mention the troupe, and he had some doubts in his heart, could it be that at this time, Zhonglang General still had the heart to watch the play, so he replied casually: "I haven't heard of any drama troupe." ”

Sun Lin also felt that his question was a bit abrupt, he raised the wooden knife and explained: "I found this wooden knife in the barracks, it should not be used by the sergeants on weekdays, but more like a prop blade in the theater troupe, let the sergeants pay more attention to the troupe in the city, maybe there will be clues." ”

Zhu Gang looked at the wooden knife carefully, felt that it made sense, and immediately asked the entourage sergeant to order him to go down and pay close attention to the opera troupe in the city.

The three of them said a few more words, Sun Lin was anxious that Feng Xun knew his whereabouts, so he came out of the barracks first, walked two steps, and he saw that Yuan Mutou was also not far away, so he walked over. Yuan Mutou had seen Sun Lin earlier, and he had been waiting for Sun Lin.

"You're not gone yet?" Sun Lin took the lead in asking Yuan Mutou.

"Well, do you see something?" Yuan Mutou pointed to the military camp.

"It was done by someone from Jiuli, and there is a corpse smell." Sun Lin didn't hide it, he felt that Yuan Mutou might know more than himself.

"You come with me." Yuan Mutou was very straightforward, called Sun Lin, and the two went to a valley west of the barracks.

As soon as Sun Lin approached the valley, he saw that the center of the grass in front of him was pitch black, like scorched earth. "They refined the corpse qi and put a blood curse."

"You were there last night?" Sun Lin suddenly felt strange how Yuan Mutou could be so clear.

Yuan Mutou didn't hide it, and told Sun Lin that yesterday he vaguely felt that Liu Ling and Ma Jing's affairs were not so simple, so he came back to look for him alone, and he didn't find his whereabouts after nightfall, so he was going to find an inn to stay, and at that time he found a team of theater troupes, and at the moment when he was close to the theater troupe, he vaguely felt the corpse qi. Immediately followed all the way, but was intercepted by a young man halfway, the man's corpse qi means were more than a step higher than Liu Ling and Ma Jing, he barely fought for a while, and when he found that he was invincible, he tried his best to get out and leave. Since then, he has been trying to find a way to search for traces of the troupe. Until the early hours of the morning, he found that there was a change in the direction of the barracks, and when he came over, he first saw this pitch-black grass like scorched earth, and he concluded that it was caused by refining corpse qi. After that, he had been near the barracks, trying to see if there was a chance to enter and investigate, until Sun Lin appeared.

Sun Lin can now be sure that the troupe is from the Jiuli tribe, and they attacked the military camp and dealt with nearly 600 people at once, it seems that there is some big conspiracy. and Feng Xunzhi, this senior brother also disappeared last night, his whereabouts are unknown, and he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead at the moment.
