Yeluchun, the king of Yan, never dreamed that in the Great Liao ruling area, there would be the first fierce general of the palace with three fierce generals and more than 200 of his ironclad elite guards to escort him, and all the way there were Khitan villages and towns that could wield scimitars and ride inferior horses to fight.

On the morning of the third day after the accident, he saw that no matter how slow the convoy was, it should have arrived at Yanjing for handover, but there was no news, and he finally felt uneasy, and his unbearable joy and excitement turned into anxiety and couldn't sit still.

In fact, he still didn't believe that the guards would lose this batch of goods in an accident, but he couldn't wait, so he sent people along the road to pick up and inspect them.

As a result, it was natural to greet hundreds of miles, and I didn't see half a figure of the guards.

After two days and three nights, the bloodstains on the battlefield were re-buried and covered by small snowflakes and windswept snow on the mountain road that lacked human traffic, and the corpses hidden in the 400-meter-long deep snow in the river ditch could not be seen. The greeters hurried through this stretch of road, noticing anything unusual.

If they didn't climb up the hill and see the traces of the battle left on the trees and the arrows left behind when they shot deep into the hillside, they would have known that someone had intercepted and killed the guards and stolen the goods.

The receiver didn't know that the goods were divine arm crossbows, and he got nothing, so he returned to King Yan.

Ye Luchun's face finally changed.

He knew that the guards had approached Yanjing, how could it be that not only did he not come back, but he also suddenly disappeared near Yanjing?

Something must have happened, something big.

Someone must have dispatched a powerful and capable force to secretly kill people and steal the goods in some section, and disguised the scene of the crime.

He immediately flew and rode and ordered all localities to pay attention to the passing brigade of cavalry and armament, and those who did not have a clear identification of the Liao army. Both the high-ranking guards and the merchant convoys were all detained on the spot.

Non-conformists. Kill.

He personally went out and led a large group of flying horses along the convoy route from north to south to carefully investigate. The abandoned truck was found in a remote wilderness.

It is impossible to determine whether the goods were being transported by trucks alone.

But seeing the empty truck and the blood stains left on the car, Ye Luchun's heart completely sank to the bottom in an instant, and it was so cold that his heart was cold.

Subsequently, the subordinates who scattered the search found the remaining arrows on the hillside of the nearby section, confirmed the special markings of the Yanwang Guards on the arrows, and also determined the location of the battlefield. It's just that there is no trace of snow on the ground. Circumstances change with the passage of time. The remains of the battlefield are no longer able to reflect the general situation at the time of the crime.

They didn't see the corpse, thinking that the enemy had taken it away to clear the battlefield and cover up the crime.

At this moment, the recovery of that shipment is the most urgent and important. That's what King Yan values the most.

The Liao army did not care about the dead, nor did they care much about the whereabouts of the corpses. didn't bother much, and immediately reported the situation to King Yan, but they didn't know that the corpse was right under their noses.

From this, Jerry Chun concluded that this was the truck.

Horse thieves pay the most attention to fast words, coming and going like the wind. If these wagons belong to other merchants intercepted by horse thieves, the goods will be snatched, but the corpses, horse thieves will never bother to take them away, and they must hastily clean up the useful things on the battlefield and abandon the rest. Hurry up and leave quickly.

The truck was dropped, and there was no trace of the goods, indicating that it was not destroyed. Someone must have come specifically to target the goods, deliberately set up an ambush to kill people and rob them.

Jeremiah was furious. Gripping the scimitar tightly, the cannibalistic light in his eyes.

For a moment, it was impossible to find out what was going on.

Who has such a powerful force that can quietly kill four fierce generals and more than 200 ironclad elites in this area?

Who can clean up the battlefield so cleanly and camouflage?

It won't be a horse thief. They don't have that ability. Could it be the Jurchens?

Think about it. Only the small elite of the Jin Army, as ferocious and cunning as a beast and devil, has the strength to quickly destroy the elite of the Iron Guard.

According to normal logical thinking, King Yan set the number of perpetrators at least 180. Good at shooting and extremely ferocious and able to fight.,The news that it should be this batch of goods somehow leaked out in advance.。 Let the Jurchens know, and send a small force to infiltrate Yandi to carry out this interception and looting.

The more Yan Wang thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case.

Otherwise, why didn't this gang operate in the south, where it was easier and safer to succeed, but instead took the risk of doing so near Yanjing, north of the cargo destination?

It must have been for the convenience of committing the crime, and he quickly fled to the north with war horses and goods.

If you commit a crime in the south, it will be easier to get it, but it is undoubtedly impossible to return to the Jin Kingdom with a large number of divine arm crossbow accessories.

Yes, it must have been a gold thief.

There must be a ghost inside the palace.

You must know that Ye Luchun did not disclose any information to anyone outside about this transaction.

Before this kind of major event is done, with his noble status, there is no need to publicize it to the top in advance, so as to show merit and please the emperor or powerful ministers. His ruler has reached the top. Got the god arm crossbow, he was just for the benefit of Da Liao. Concealing it is also to avoid any accidents when it is realized, and it is not done, and it is not successful, but it will be laughed at.

After all, he didn't understand the power of King Anqing, and he was completely unsure of whether this kind of contraband smuggling, which was the most strictly investigated, could be successful.

Only one of his cronies is responsible for handling this matter, and he knows the details in advance. Only the slave who is in charge of close service may have heard something and leaked the secret for profit.

King Yan set the wrong target and judged the wrong direction of pursuit, and urgently notified the army to block the Shanhaiguan and other northbound passages, and notified the northern Liao army checkpoints outside the jurisdiction to strictly investigate the unidentified horse teams.

The Divine Arm Crossbow must not be allowed to fall into the hands of the Jin Army, otherwise Da Liao will be miserable. He Yan Wang was useless, but became the biggest sinner.

This crime cannot be borne by the dignity of the king of the Southern Courtyard.

Shame Luchun only hopes that someone in the north can detect the clues, intercept the goods, and save the crisis, and it doesn't matter at all whether it works or not. As long as Da Liao is good, it's fine.

His hopes were to be dashed.

King Yan would never know that he hated it to the core, and he wanted to catch the criminal who had been cut by a thousand knives at this time, and he was running wildly on the stone peak of Yanshan Mountain.

Facts show that there is no impregnable fortress in the world. When you are a bad guy, you must not lose your vigilance in a safe hiding place, no matter how safe.

Zhao Yue swept like a fly, and ran out of the 'village' in one go. I didn't encounter any obstacles.

On the one hand, he was too fast, like a dark shadow passing by. It's too late to intercept.

On the other hand, people here are used to safety. I didn't expect that someone would be able to sneak in here and commit murder without breaking the two levels under the mountain.

At the time of the incident, people in the 'village'. Some were busy making lunch; Some people are afraid of the cold, lazy or lustful in winter, and lie on the warm kang and still cover the quilt to sleep or do primitive exercises; There are those who can't stay idle and have big spirits, those who are familiar with each other get together to sit on the fire, those who are good at wine are noisy, talking, laughing, bragging, drinking, and drinking, and those who are good at gambling are concentrating on gambling.

Suddenly they heard the sound of fighting and explosions, and they were surprised and curious, and they came out to inspect one after another.

Many people are like rural people who go out to play with friends in winter, and their weapons are at home and they don't have them at hand. What to strain?

More anxious or too curious about what was going on, came out in a hurry, dressed thinly, blown by the cold, and hurriedly retracted.

Zhao Yue ran along the winding downhill road for a while, and there were no pursuers after him, only to hear the exclamations on the mountain that were in a mess.

He calmed down and glanced condescendingly, spotting the trees in the shade. From the Neiguan below to the top of the mountain, the only mountain road that can run horses is indeed this long winding mountain road, but the one that can walk is not like Erlong Mountain.

The pinnacle is only more than 500 meters high, and the overall slope of this slope connecting the mountain range is not very large. There are a lot of big trees, otherwise the only way down there would not be a horse, but there are two natural high and vertical stone walls that build a barrier and firmly block the way up the mountain.

Neiguan is roughly located halfway up the mountain. From the top of the mountain to the inner pass. The straight line is a slope of five or six hundred meters with snow.

Zhao Yue's mind was racing.

If you give the people on the mountain time to react, it's good to be armed. Many roads flocked down to defend the inner pass, relying on his strength alone. No matter how brave he is, it is impossible to fight against thousands of people, and he still keeps the stone crack in the inner pass unblocked.

Subordinates can't get in. With his own strong force and amazing speed, it is a miracle that he can fight his way out of the pass and not die. The sneak attack plan is bound to fail. If you attack again in the future, it will be as difficult as the blue sky.

The most important thing now is to rush for time.

Thinking of this, he no longer wasted time running along the long winding mountain road, but aimed at the inner pass, choosing to go straight down, there is a road is the best, and there is no way to jump directly. In short, how close is the distance, how to save time.

This dangerous emergency is the most test of a person's combined force, mind and eyesight, that is, his ability to do so.

Shi Qian's ability to light up is not low, and jumping this kind of downhill that is not too high and too steep is not a big problem, but there is no single combat effectiveness.

Martial arts masters like Lin Chong and Lu Junyi have the ability to break through the level, but they don't have the ability to jump lightly.

Zhao Yue wears alloy steel-soled leather boots with non-slip spikes, which are relatively lightweight, and the soles of the boots are extremely strong and useful.

In the previous battle to intercept and kill the Yanwang Guards, Han Chang swung a big knife to attack Zhao Yue, but was kicked by Zhao Yue and broke apart on the blade, and the foot could not be cut off by the heavy and sharp big knife, which was the credit of the special boot soles. Zhao Yue can climb the cliff, and this kind of boots is not small.

At this moment, Zhao Yue relied on the advantage of his feet, chose a big stone and other hard ground to run and jump, although the road was dangerous, he finally went down smoothly, and soon arrived at the inner pass, and swept his eyes, and couldn't help but marvel again that this is really the most natural danger for defense.

The level is like a boulder split from the sky by the gods to form a narrow path, and the side facing the mountain is built into a stone cliff by the gods, but the side of the mountain is mostly covered with thick soil and a gentle slope with trees, and the guards in the pass can easily go up to the top of the stone to attack.

Kannai is a natural mountain, but it is not flat in nature, and it is full of rocks and sparse trees.

However, the depression formed between this boulder and the main body of the mountain peak is not small in width, and it can be used as an ideal small battlefield, and it is very convenient to transport heavy troops to block the enemy from attacking the stone crevices.

Even if the guards do not attack the enemy at the rock crevice from the top of the stone, and only shoot at the stone crevice in the pass, it will be difficult for the enemy to rush in.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Yue realized more and more how wise and important his decision to go down the mountain was.

If you let the thousands of horse thieves in the mountains block here. If you want to break through the internal barrier with the outside, it must be like a daydream, and it is best not to think about it.

Fortunately, there is only a large thatched house made of cement and stone in this part of the country, which is located on the flatter side of the pass, and at this time there is smoke curling, and there should be someone in it who is busy with lunch, and there are bursts of scolding and laughter, presumably someone is bored and playing with money. Zhao Yue didn't see the sentry on the gate, nor did he see the patrolling guards outside the thatched house.

Perhaps to facilitate the passage up and down, or to be too lazy to open and close repeatedly in the cold, the two thick mountain gates inside the gate were all open.

The mountain wind penetrated through the mountain gate, passing through the narrow stone cracks, and from time to time there was a terrifying loud and strange roar.

It's really like a ghost gate asking for your life.

Zhao Yue was overjoyed and hurriedly ran to the house.

There were two groups of twenty-four horse thieves stationed in the house, responsible for today's guarding and early warning tasks, but in fact there was nothing to do.

Shi Feng's level is too dangerous to attack.

The first mountain gate alone is impossible to break through at a huge cost and time for non-large armies.

When the enemy comes, the first pass warns of the start of war, and there is no need to prepare for defense immediately, and the mountain gate does not need to be closed, and the good luck soldiers go to support the first pass. The people at the top of the mountain were able to come in stride and reinforcements. Even if the first pass is lost, it's not too late to close the mountain gate.

This inner pass, unless it is a flying immortal, no matter how many soldiers and horses there are, they will not want to attack it.

Even the Cui family themselves don't pay attention to the vigilance of the internal gate, so there are very few guards, and the mountain gate has been open for a long time.

Ever since they set up a secret base here, no one has come to attack them. Occasionally, hunters who inadvertently approached were killed.

In the deep mountains of the cold sky now, except for the roar of wild beasts, even hunters are rare, let alone an army to encircle and attack. So safe and sound, these guards naturally took their turn to be on duty, and only regarded their turn to be a small reunion and fun for a day and a night down the mountain.

This place is far away from the top of the mountain, you can't feel the vibration and power of the grenade explosion, the whistling sound of the stone crack also greatly covers up the explosion on the top of the mountain, the chaotic panic shout, these horse thieves hide in a tightly closed room to keep warm, they don't know what happened to the top of the mountain, they are having fun and are waiting for lunch, they are attacked by Zhao Yue, they are caught off guard, half of them die at the dining table on the ground, and the other half are relatively strong.

The two men who were cooking in the kitchen heard the movement, and they drew their knives in horror and wanted to rush out to investigate, but they were killed by Zhao Yue in an instant.

Zhao Yue saw several gongs hanging on the walls of the house, and guessed that this might be a tool to warn the top of the mountain here. He was now buying time, and immediately rushed out of the house, ran to the mountain gate, and saw the square wooden bolt more than a meter long leaning against the inner wall of the door, and grabbed it and threw it far away in the snow in the wilderness outside the mountain gate, and then picked up the thick top door pole lying on the edge of the passage and dragged it outside the mountain gate, and struggled to throw it under a steep slope. In this way, even if someone rushes down from the mountain, they will not want to lock the mountain gate for a while. (To be continued.) )
