Chapter 243: The Mystery Man
Tomorrow quickly dissipated, a group of black-clothed men with black masks came out of the col, the two leaders exchanged glances with each other, and very tacitly dragged the bodies of these people to the side of the tree, and then sent a group of people to sit in the carriage and drive the carriage forward.
There were some people in the back, holding branches, where the carriage passed by, leaving rut marks, and swept the ruts away, leaving only dust, not even a trace of footprints.
The wind blew through the col, leaving only silence.
I don't know how long it took, but it was about an hour before the middle-aged man and his group woke up from under the tree.
It took a long time to understand what was happening in front of them, they understood that they had been stricken, and all the goods in their hands were snatched away, and the middle-aged man looked anxious, "Who did it?" ”
"It must be him, King Mujun." The shopkeeper took a deep breath and said a little angrily: "This person is behind us, we must not let them go easily, so let's do it, they must not leave when we rush back, and maybe we can still find some traces on the road." ”
Even the man glanced at the sky, the sun was still hanging high, which meant that they didn't have a long time, and if the group left, they would not go too far, and everything could be remedied.
It's just that there are no traces left on the road, and they don't know where to chase for a while, so they can only return to the inn first.
But halfway through, he bumped into King Mujun's people head-on.
The middle-aged man recognized the leader, his name was Lan Luo, he was a trusted assistant by Brother Mu's side, and he followed him wherever he went, and when the middle-aged man saw him, he was angry, "Where did you take our things?" ”
After saying that, he hinted that the people behind him hurriedly picked up the guy and prepared to deal with such a thing.
Lan Luoluo frowned slightly, since there was no carriage behind them, he was strange, frowned slightly and said, "Where are the jewels hidden by you?" Hurry up and hand it over, otherwise you know the power of King Mujun, even if you escape all over the world, you won't be able to escape from the palm of his hand. ”
"Don't talk to me about this set of what you don't have, you didn't take the jewelry, who else can there be?" The middle-aged man didn't want to talk nonsense with them, so he just picked up the guy and beat him.
Lan Luo didn't dare to fight at first, for fear that he would not be able to get the whereabouts of the treasure after the fight, and a younger brother behind him reminded: "It also took us to catch up with them, it didn't take long for the package to be here, such a big target in the mountains, it was actually easy to find, first according to what the master said, how about killing their mouths?" ”
Lan Luo listened to it mainly because of some reason, after all, if he didn't fight back and scolded again, the brothers would really not be able to support it, and sooner or later they would be destroyed by the other party.
Thinking of this, he didn't let his brothers tie his hands anymore, and immediately asked everyone to pick up the guy and do it with real guns.
When they cooperated before, Lan Luo had seen a middle-aged man and knew that his martial arts were not bad, and even in the rivers and lakes, he could be ranked first, but now when he fought against, he suddenly felt that he seemed to be much weaker, his knife was unstable, and his body was floating weakly.
After only a dozen rounds, the middle-aged man was not physically strong, he was unprepared for a while, he slashed to the ground, and then looked at the others, they were also dead, wounded, injured and had no strength to resist, knowing that there was no way to live, and some people even bit through the poison hidden in their mouths, and they were not tortured by this kind of torture.
Lan Luo pointed his sword at the middle-aged man and said word by word, "Where are you hiding things?" ”
"The thief shouted to catch the thief, now that I have become a defeated thief under your sword, is it necessary for you to pretend to be here with me?" The middle-aged man snorted coldly, turned his head and gritted his teeth and said, "You kill me, if you don't get anything, you will die if you go back." ”
Lan Luo sneered, "Do you think I don't dare to kill you, the order I received is to kill without mercy, all of you are here, I'm afraid things can't be transported, it's in this deep mountain." After saying that, he raised his knife and swung it, and the middle-aged man's head rolled to the ground, and his two eyes were like bull's eyes, staring at him deadly.
Lan Luo didn't care at all, he seemed to be used to seeing such a scene, and after dealing with all the people, he immediately instructed everyone: "The carriage and cart prints are still there, search the vicinity, and see where the cart is." ”
The crowd answered and hurried away.
They didn't notice a man hiding behind the tree with a bloody face, his eyes were open and closed, and he was obviously still reacting, but his body was soaked in blood, and they didn't know if it was his blood or the blood of others.
After a long time, there was no movement around, only the rustle of the wind through the precarious grass, he opened his eyes, and let out a long breath, as if he had held it for too long, he got up and looked around, and saw that there was no one, and then he ran out.
Stumbling all the way down the mountain road, the figure soon disappeared into the vast wilderness.
Lan Luo searched in the mountains for a long time, but he didn't find those cars, in fact, he traced the car prints that he had tracked all the way before, but it was very strange that these cars disappeared halfway through, and the road was all sand, and it stands to reason that such a heavy vehicle should leave traces when it walked by, but now it is completely gone.
They lost their bearings, scurrying around the mountain like flies without their heads, and finally had to give up and return to the inn.
King Mu Jun listened to their report and pondered, "The jewel is gone, so you don't have a living mouth?" ”
Lan Luo immediately knelt on the ground and pleaded: "It's all my lack of thought, I thought they just hid the jewels in the mountains, after all, it didn't take us too much time to keep up with him, such a heavy thing, it must not be able to be sent, and all the people were there, so I killed the people, but ......"
King Mujun motioned for him to shut up, "Okay, don't say any more, I don't mean to blame you." ”
"It's a dereliction of duty on the part of his subordinates, please punish the county king." Lan Luo fell to his knees and said with a firm look in his eyes.
"What's the use of me punishing you? The jewels have been lost, but you still have to tell the ins and outs of the matter, including everything they say. King Mu Jun said coldly, from Lan Luo's description just now, he already felt that something was wrong, and as for what was wrong, he hadn't figured out what was wrong.
Lan Luo responded, fortunately he remembered well, and he completely retold every word he said from the beginning of meeting the middle-aged man to the future.
King Mu Jun seemed to have found the thread from the mess, snapped his fingers and said: "That's right, he just lost something, so he turned back to look for it, he thought we took it away, but in fact, there was a third group of people who robbed that batch of things, so there are those words that you don't understand." ”
"This ......," Lan Luo furrowed his brows slightly, "but we didn't find any suspicious people along the way." ”
"These people may have been lurking around the inn for a long time." King Mu Jun sighed heavily, "The Pavilion Master of Qingyu Pavilion really lives up to his reputation, no wonder he didn't panic when he knew that all the jewels were taken away by that despicable villain." ”
"Is it really him? Can he calculate so much? We haven't gotten that far, he's already calculated? Lan Luo said in disbelief: "Is this person really so terrifying? ”
King Mu Jun took a deep breath, "Being able to make a Jianghu organization so influential means that this person must not be underestimated, just go down first, don't look for it, I'll talk to him." ”
