In the wide military tent, Nan Ying knelt on the main seat, and Liu Tao and Gao Shun sat on both sides. Since Nanying revealed the imperial decree of the Son of Heaven, Liu Tao is no longer willing to call himself a righteous envoy no matter what.

The five people below are also sitting on the left and right, the cemetery Zhou Jing, the cemetery Cheng Liu Yu, and the principal Zhang Ben are on the left, and the food official Ning Shao and the food official Zhao You are on the right, although the five people are all under Taichang, they have their own functions, Zhou Jing and the other three are responsible for the inspection and cleaning of the mausoleum in the imperial mausoleum, and Ning Shao and Zhao You are responsible for worshipping the first emperor during the monthly sunrise and obscurity.

"There are no more idlers here!" Nan Ying said calmly: "A few adults, you can be open and honest now, what happened on the eve of Yangling?" ”

"Back to the general, can the subordinate ask a question first!" Zhou Jing saw several other colleagues looking at him together, but he arched his hand unhurriedly, and said calmly: "It's not that the subordinate is doing more, but this question is related to the responsibility of the subordinate official!" ”

When he saw Nan Ying raise his hand, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then he wondered: "Several Shangguan, there was indeed a big incident on the eve of Yangling, but the lower officials and others immediately blocked the scene and strictly forbade leaking the news, I don't know how many Shangguan knew about it?" ”

Nan Ying and Liu Tao glanced at each other, and then they understood that Zhou Jing was worried that someone in the mausoleum was secretly communicating with the outside world, and they couldn't help but chuckle together.

Liu Tao smiled and said: "The cemetery is too worried!" In fact, since many days ago, there have been many strange things on the Xianyang Plain, which has shaken the Quartet. Although the official has not taken office, Jing Zhaoyin's subordinates have not been idle. The night before, there was an undercover agent who saw from a distance that the fire in the Yangling Tomb was dazzling, and it seemed that the fire was burning outside the tomb, although he was suspicious, but he did not dare to approach without permission. When he came to inspect quietly after sunrise, he found that there was a large pool of blood outside the mausoleum, so Pegasus reported it to the official! ”

"I see!" Zhou Jing suddenly realized and gasped.

"That's it! It's rare for Jing Zhaoyin to be so honest, and you can't hide it anymore! Nanying said in a deep voice: "Ben Jiang is really curious now, what happened, so that a few people will not report it, and second, they will not investigate, they just want to cover up the truth!" ”

Hearing this, the five officials trembled slightly, and Zhou Jing looked at Nan Ying blankly and said, "General, although it is a bit unbelievable to say it, do you believe that there are monsters in the world?" ”

"This is the second time someone has asked Ben the same question!" Nan Ying glanced at Liu Tao, who was a little embarrassed, before he said: "Ben Jiang can tell you now, there are no ghosts, no gods, no demons and no Buddhas in this world, Ben Jiang doesn't believe in anything!" ”

"No!" The principal Zhang Ben's face suddenly twitched, and he stood up nervously: "Please forgive the general, I didn't believe in it like a general before I was humble, but after that night, I, no, humiliation......"

He took a deep breath before saying, "I believe that this matter should have been over when Jing Zhaoyin's subordinate spies arrived the night before, otherwise he would definitely not be able to state this matter to several superiors so lightly!" ”

"Oh?" Not only Nanying and Liu Tao, but even Gao Shun was surprised: "Why are you so sure!" ”

Zhang Ben's eyes suddenly flashed with extreme fear, as if he thought of the events of that night again, and said dreamily: "Nine well-trained soldiers died in an instant, the fire that was inexplicably lit outside the mausoleum, and the terrible roar that came from the darkness, all of which were beyond the reach of man. If the spy is there, how dare he not report it? ”

In the big tent, there was a sudden death-like silence, and an extremely cold air seemed to permeate, although the tent was still three poles in the sun, everyone only felt that the cold air in their hearts was great.

Suddenly, I only heard the sound of "Gege", but it was the food official Zhao You's eyes straight, and he couldn't help but fight with his teeth.

"Hey, hahaha!" A chuckle came, and Zhuan Er turned into a hearty laugh.

Everyone looked at it in amazement, but it was Nan Ying who was smiling.

He smiled and said lightly: "This is also a strange thing?" If Ben can be given some special equipment, Ben will be confident that he can concoct a farce that is a hundred times more terrifying! ”

Liu Tao looked at Nan Ying in disbelief, but from Nan Ying's calm gaze, he couldn't find a trace of pretended calm, and he was indeed calm.

"Does the general suspect that this matter is false? Is this too underestimating! Zhang Ben said dumbfoundedly: "The tragic death of nine people is a fact, and the terrible roar that has never been heard of is definitely ...... by demon beasts."

"It is not surprising that nine people died perhaps because of deliberate murder!" Nan Ying smiled and said, "As for the demon beasts you think, I'm not afraid to scare you, I will have a few!" If you encounter it at night, it can scare ordinary people to death! Not to mention that you just hear the screams! ”

"What?" Everyone shouted in shock, only Gao Shun thought about it, and then nodded slightly. If the terrifying image of the golden eagle and the black tiger suddenly appeared at night, it was indeed terrifying.

"Alright, don't be surprised!" Nanying smiled and stood up: "Now we are all just conjectures, if we want to speak with facts, let's wait until the crime scene and the body of the deceased are inspected!" ”

The nine corpses were lined up, and the white cloth covering them was almost soaked with blood, and it was conceivable that the dead must have died in a horrible state.

Several cemetery officials turned pale and couldn't help but take a step back, obviously having already understood the terrible scene.

Nan Ying stretched out his hand and said casually: "What about the result?" ”

"Serving?" Zhou Jing was stunned by the cemetery and said, "Dare to ask the general, what is the pretense?" ”

"It's the coroner!" Nanying didn't have a good airway, and he couldn't imagine that there was still no name for the work in the Han Dynasty.

"Oh! Well, this one! Zhou Jingran said: "General Hui, we are here in the imperial mausoleum, there is only one doctor, but there is no person in charge of the autopsy!" ”

"Grandma's! It seems that only Ben will do it himself! Nan Ying scolded and stepped forward and uncovered a white cloth casually.

Liu Tao and the other officials all showed surprise, could it be that this Eagle Yang Zhonglang is still good at this? However, in an instant, everyone's surprised expressions gradually receded, but they were replaced by a look of respect.

That Liu Tao just looked at it from a distance, and his face had changed miserably, and he almost didn't spit it out, but Nan Ying's face was calm, squatting next to the corpse to examine it carefully, frowning from time to time, thoughtful. Gao Feng, Dian Wei and several other generals also stood quietly on one side, without even blinking their eyelids.

Several cemetery officials exchanged a look, sure enough, there is no void under the fame, this Eagle Yang Zhonglang General and his generals are indeed good, no wonder the rumors have won many battles, killing more than 100,000 yellow turban corpses all over the field.

Nan Ying didn't respond to the matter, but looked at the corpses carefully, and suddenly he let out a "huh" sound, and actually reached out and turned over the whole corpse.

Everyone was stunned, but no one dared to come forward to take a look, but it was difficult to walk away, so they had to look at Nanying with their faces sideways. I saw Nan Ying stretch out his hand and compare left to right on the wound of the corpse that was almost torn in two, and a look of horror flashed on his face.

He was stunned for a moment before standing up, took the hand towel handed by Gao Feng and wiped the stains on his hands, with a solemn look on his face, and said to himself: "It seems that this thing is really a little unusual!" ”

He shouted in a deep voice: "Come on, immediately go and search for all the bizarre things that have happened in this Xianyang Plain in recent days, not a single one is missing, please be detailed!" It's better to be able to find the person in question! ”

When Liu Tao saw him turn around and go outside, he couldn't help but call: "Where is the general going?" ”

Nan Yingtou didn't reply: "I've seen enough of the corpse, it's time to go and see where the crime occurred, didn't it say that there are still a lot of blood stains and a fire scene?" ”

The principal Zhang Ben immediately shouted: "General Yu, there is a chief and a military commander under the lowly rank, all of whom are survivors of the crime scene that night, do you want to call them together?" ”

"There are survivors! Why didn't you say it earlier? Nan Ying suddenly turned around, and a hint of joy finally appeared on his face: "Very good, please come over immediately!" ”

“…… After separating from the chief, his subordinates began the last night patrol of the night. Check it out! It was the Wu Chang who had narrowly escaped death that night, his face was pale, he was not wearing armor, and there was a strong smell of herbs on his body, obviously he was not lightly injured.

He stretched out his hand and pointed to the corner of the outer wall of the cemetery and said: "The subordinates led their brothers to separate from the other team of brothers here, patrolling to both sides, and after only a hundred steps, they heard the screams behind them, and the subordinates were so frightened that they hurriedly turned around to check, but unexpectedly, a monster immediately began to attack from behind......

"You wait!" Nan Ying interrupted with a wave of his hand, "What did you just say?" You first heard a scream behind you, and then you turned around to look, only to be attacked from behind? ”

"Exactly! Checkmate! The captain said respectfully.

"! Ben has long thought it was strange! Nan Ying clapped his hands and said hatefully: "No wonder those dead died differently, they turned out to be two kinds of people, no, according to your words, they are two kinds of monsters, and they attack at the same time!" ”

"What? Two batches of monsters? What exactly does a general mean? Zhou Jing's face changed drastically and said, "Is there more than one monster?" ”

"Ben will only say that these are two completely different ways of attacking, and he can't be sure of their number!" Nan Ying shook his head and said, "That five-person squad died a miserable death, all of which had traces of tearing and gnawing, and although the four brothers under this Wu Commander's command died in an even more horrific way, they could only see the sharp claws cutting through the wounds in the chest and abdomen!" ”

"This, this!" Several officials looked at each other and were speechless.

Zhang Ben said in a low voice: "Aren't they all demon beasts? And what a difference! ”

"Let's get to the point!" Nan Ying stared at Na Wu Chang and said, "What did you see that night?" ”

"General!" A trace of shame flashed on the white face of the chief Wu: "Actually, the subordinates didn't see the appearance of the monster at all!" ”

"Oh? What's going on? Nanying was surprised: "Let's talk about it carefully! ”

"Yes! That night, the subordinates rushed to be the first, and the four brothers followed closely behind, but! The captain showed a particularly palpitating color: "It's really a nightmare, the subordinates just heard the screams of a brother at the end of the team, and before they had time to stop, they had already heard two more brothers crying out at the same time, and the subordinates only had time to use their peripheral vision to see a few sharp claws suddenly appear on the chest of the last brother on their side, and they ......."

The chief suddenly couldn't speak, shame and remorse filled his heart, and tears welled up in his eyes.

"What a terrible speed!" Nan Ying and Gao Shun said in shock.

"Don't be sad!" Nan Ying looked at the captain's back injury, instantly understood what he was thinking at that time, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder and said, "What you did was not wrong!" Warriors must be brave and fearless, but blindly sending them to death is even more stupid! ”

"Thank you, General!" The captain wiped away his tears, looked at Nan Ying gratefully, and said: "The subordinates had only one thought at that time, they couldn't be beaten, and only by reporting this information to the generals and adults alive could it be possible to get justice for the brothers!" ”

"Yes! Well done! Anything else to say? Nanying saw that the Wu Commander pondered for a while before shaking his head, nodded and said, "Go down and rest!" Go and tell you to come over! ”

When Nashi Chang stood in front of everyone, Nan Ying and Gao Shun's eyes couldn't help but light up, and they secretly shouted: What a strong man!

Nashi was long and manipulative, with a large iron bow behind him. In stark contrast to his rugged appearance, his eyes are clear and bright, and his expression is calm and decent, giving people a sense of stability and reliability.

He saluted unhurriedly before saying, "Please show the general!" ”

"Some of your situation will have already been learned from your subordinate commander, so you don't need to repeat it, just ask a few simple questions!" Nanying said with a look of appreciation.

"Yes, the subordinates must be endless!"

"After you rescued the captain that night, did you see the demon beast chasing after him?"

"Back to the general, my subordinates didn't see the demon beast, they only saw the blood on Wu Chang's body running over from around the corner!"

"Yes! So what did you see later? ”

"The subordinates saw a sudden fire in the grass in the distance, and there seemed to be some behemoth moving in the firelight, but the distance was too far to see it really, and the subordinates didn't dare to talk nonsense!"

"Excellent! Then then you heard the roar? ”

"Exactly! The subordinates heard the roar very clearly! ”

"According to your superiors and colleagues, you once insisted that the roar was not a tiger, but an unheard of beast. Is this your exact words? ”

"Yes General! This is said by a subordinate! ”

"Oh?" Nanying finally smiled: "Why are you so confident? ”

"General!" Nashi Chang said calmly: "If you change other things, your subordinates will never dare to be so good at commenting, but your subordinates have been hunters in the mountains for seven years before joining the army, and they have personally hunted two tigers, three leopards, and countless other fierce beasts!" Therefore, the subordinates have this certainty! ”

"Good guys!" Nanying's eyes lit up and said, "There are yours!" Just rush to your ability, Ben will believe you! ”

"But why are you sure you are an unheard-of beast?" Nan Ying continued to ask: "You must know that this world is so big, there are no surprises, and there are many kinds of large beasts alone, and not one person can know them all!" ”

"For example, there is a beast called a lion, and its physical strength and ferocity are not inferior to that of a tiger!" Nan Ying smiled dumbly and said, "Do you know that when you say this, several of your superiors who are so frightened will say that it was the monster beast!" ”

Nashi Chang glanced at several embarrassed bosses, and said solemnly: "Back to the general's words, in the first year of Zhang He, King Anxi once offered a pair of lions to the emperor of the dynasty, and later the palace sent a special person to breed, although the lions are surprising among the people, there are still a few in the palace!" ”

"Coincidentally! Before his subordinates came here to guard, they served as palace guards, and not far away is the Lion Garden! Nashi Chang smiled and said, "So the subordinates can also conclude that it is not a lion!" ”

"Hey! What a talent! Nanying praised softly: "Good! Ben still believes in you! So in your experience, what kind of monster would it be? ”

"This!" Nashichang's face finally became heavy, and he lowered his head and thought for a while before he said: "General, although my subordinates have never heard that kind of roar, but all large beasts, the size of their roar almost matches their body shape, and their subordinates can only determine that it is a monster that surpasses the size of a tiger or a lion!" ”

"Oh my God! Bigger than a lion and tiger, that's not a monster? Zhao You, the food official, blurted out, and his face turned even paler.

Nan Ying couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and suddenly saw the high wind in the distance slowly coming, and shook his head at him with a heavy face, and couldn't help but feel even more depressed.

"Did the general order someone to investigate the monster's footprints?" The chief suddenly spoke: "It's useless, the subordinates have actually already probed, but they have found nothing!" ”

He sighed, "The early winter is getting cold, the ground has been frozen extremely dry and hard, and there has been no rain in recent days, even if the monster is huge, it will be difficult to find footprints!" ”

"Well, you're as careful as a hair!" Nan Ying patted his broad shoulder and said happily: "Good boy, Ben will really appreciate you more and more!" What is your name? ”

"General Hui, subordinate to the Li family in Shanyang, Li Jin!" Nashi Chang is neither humble nor arrogant.

Shanyang Li family, still a concubine? It seems that it is also a family with a small background, but why did this Li Jin enter the mountains and become a hunter? It seems that the identity of the concubine is still to blame!

Nan Ying was thinking, but he looked at Li Jin's back, thinking about how to recruit him.

"Brother Xian, what should we do now?" Gao Shun, who had been silent, suddenly walked to his side and asked in a whisper.

"What did the eldest brother say?" Nan Ying said with some distress: "This matter is indeed a bit confusing, and it is related to demonic rumors, if it is not handled properly, I am afraid that it will cause panic among the people, and it will affect the rule of the Son of Heaven!" ”

"Not bad! But we also have some experience in dealing with strange things, and the best way to do it is! Gao Shun suddenly smiled and said, "Fight demons with demons!" ”

"Big brother mean?" Nan Ying's heart moved: "Please let your own people out?" ”

"Not bad! Nowadays, people's hearts are fluctuating, rumors are spreading, and it is difficult for us to find out the truth for a while! Gao Shun said unhurriedly: "The best way is to collect all the strange things in the vicinity first, trace the source, and hope to sort out the clue!" At the same time, send someone back to the Eagle's Nest to ask for reinforcements, and then use the Flying Eagle to recall Yang Kun, who is in the Yingchuan Mountains! Let's do it at the same time! ”

He exhaled and said, "No matter how big the conspiracy is behind this matter, at least once the divine beasts of our eagle's nest show up, they can block the flying and short flow of those so-called demon beasts!" ”

"Haha!" Nan Ying couldn't help but stroke his palms and laughed: "Big brother is really powerful!" If those laymen see that we can enslave demon beasts, who will dare to spread panic again? ”

"That is, our angel identity is easy to use, otherwise someone will falsely accuse us of hurting people even though the demon beast is hurting!" Gao Shun smiled bitterly.

"That's not all!" He suddenly said in a deep voice: "I believe what Li Jin said, if there is really a terrifying demon beast lurking on the Xianyang Plain, I am afraid that only our Divine Eagle and Black Tiger can completely eradicate it in the shortest possible time!" ”

"That's it!" Nanying's eyes lit up and said, "It's not too far from the Eagle's Nest here, I'll immediately send someone to split up!" ”

The two laughed together.

"Are the two generals confident?" Liu Tao walked over and said in surprise: "In the face of such a strange murder case, can you still talk and laugh freely?" ”

"Lord Liu!" Nan Ying chuckled, "Do you want to see what a demon beast is?" Ben will be able to fulfill your wish! ”

"What?" Liu Tao's body shook violently, and he said dumbfoundedly: "It's true that you just said that you raised demon beasts!" ”
