Chenshi.

The two horses galloped north side by side.

The faster the horse runs, the faster it passes, and as soon as it passes through the suburbs of Jinghua City, the road is narrow, so it is impossible to ride both at the same time. Wu Jingmo reined in his horse and gave way to ride the wind first. Lu Chengfeng smiled sideways, and rode forward, followed closely behind.

At this moment, they had been driving along the rut of the salt for more than half an hour. But the Cao gang has never been found.

It's also a strange thing! After all, the two horses borrowed by Wu Jingmo had extraordinary foot strength.

Besides, according to the time when Mao Zheng opened the city gate, the Cao Gang's salt cart must be much slower than one of them and one horse, and it is time to catch up at this time!

"Ahh Drive! "The wind on the road ahead suddenly stopped the horse's hooves.

"What's wrong? Brother Chengfeng, what's the difference? Wu Jingmo hurried over.

"The ruts are gone!" Lu Chengfeng stared at the yellow dirt road under his feet, his face was pale, and he said.

Seeing this, Wu Jingmo rolled over the horse, turned over the wet soil on the ground that had just been rolled by the wheels with his fingertips, and said with a strange expression, "Look! That's not right! ”

Lu Chengfeng hurriedly stepped on the wet mud on the side with his foot, then moved his steps, carefully observed his footprints, and shouted, "This is definitely not the chariot and horse of the Cao gang to transport salt!" ”

After leaving Jinghua City, there are yellow dirt roads all the way. Because there was a heavy snowfall last night, it melted into snow when the sun met today. When the snow seeped into the dirt road, it became a wet mud. Therefore, the rut is particularly obvious and easy to find!

Lu Chengfeng and Wu Jingmo followed this rut all the way to the north!

However, the rut in front of me is less than two inches deep, and it is obviously not a salt-carrying car!

It is well known that in the mud, the heavier the weight, the deeper the footprints. He Chengfeng just calculated based on his own footprints.

"Since it is not a cart transporting salt and grain, it must be a wagon that smuggles suspects! Moreover, there was only one person in the carriage! And, she's underweight! We've got it right! Lu Chengfeng's face bloomed with a smile and said.

"I agree! Presumably the woman had already thought about it and covered it up in the name of the Cao Gang! For the sake of safety, a name was added for transporting salt for military supplies! She had already expected that the guards at the city gate would not dare to search the Cao Gang chariots and horses! In this way, she has a smooth way! ”

Wu Jingmo touched his head and analyzed it on the spot.

Correct solution! Lu Chengfeng also thinks so.

From yesterday's time to today's hour, the road of investigating and chasing the murderer in just a few hours actually made Lu Chengfeng feel a sense of admiration for the female killer. I really didn't expect to run into a high-IQ criminal!

"But why did you chase here but there was no trace? Can the car disappear into thin air? Wu Jingmo seemed to have a question mark on his head and said.

"I'm confused!" Lu Chengfeng spread his hands and began to wander around, lifting his spirit and checking everywhere.

"Brother Jingmo, look!" Lu Chengfeng lightly pointed his finger at the slope behind him.

It was a long, sloping slope, overgrown with wild grass, and in this cold winter, the grass had already withered, and it was a yellowish scene.

In the vast field of wild grass, there are two shallow wheel marks, hidden in the long and short weeds, if you don't look carefully, you really can't see clearly.

"Sure enough, it's here!" Wu Jingmo was overjoyed.

The two had no choice but to dismount and follow the two shallow rut marks all the way down the ramp.

Below the ramp is a sea of bamboo. The forest is deep, and the pavilions are like covers.

In this cold winter season, the grass on the ramp has turned yellow, but the bamboo forest under the ramp is still green. Bamboo, sure enough, is worthy of the three friends of the cold year!

The morning breeze swept by, the bamboo sea swayed gently, making a rhythmic sound, like a huge bamboo flute suddenly blown by the sky, a wonderful song of heaven is floating, fascinating, wonderful.

Lu Chengfeng was busy and happily quickened his pace.

Did the woman find out that she was being followed, so she drove into the bamboo forest? After all, in this dense bamboo forest, it will be much more difficult to track! Then, with the help of the bamboo forest as a cover, so that he could escape by recourse?

However, Lu Chengfeng still didn't understand a little. How can the carriage walk smoothly?

Unless, she abandons the cart and rides alone!

Lu Chengfeng speculated on Wu Jingmo in his heart one by one. Both of them thought that the idea of riding a horse was very reasonable.

In this lush bamboo forest, abandoning the car and riding a horse can not only ensure that she escapes faster, but also ensure that the direction and path of escape are more free and better controlled!

Wu Jingmo raised his eyes worriedly and looked at the bamboo forest in front of him, in the verdant secluded grate, for some reason, there was a sense of danger.

He is no different from a gentleman in the world, and he loves bamboo the most on weekdays. At this moment, there was no Yaxing of the literati at all, but he followed the footsteps of Lu Chengfeng closely, and said tremblingly:

"Little brother Chengfeng, did you say that female murderer suddenly ran out of nowhere and killed us by surprise!"

"Don't worry! I'm here! Lu Chengfeng patted his chest unashamedly and opened up the ticket.

In the past, in Biyun Valley, he was a little junior disciple who was protected by everyone. No matter what kind of kung fu it is, it's hard to match. Unexpectedly, today I actually have the opportunity to be someone else's protector! In front of scholar Wu Jingmo, I am not proud!

"What's that up front?" Wu Jingmo grabbed the corner of his clothes and said softly.

"I'll go check it out first!" Lu Chengfeng trotted all the way up to explore.

It didn't take long for a carriage to come into view.

It was the lightest model available today and was designed for one person only. Those who ride in the car, reach out and hold the bridle! The car had only one door, but no windows. The seat, covered by a thin gauze curtain, was the only source of light. Aside from the rest, there is no other crevice or hole in the sky that can leak into the skylight!

Lu Chengfeng cautiously stepped forward, but he couldn't see the situation inside the car at all. He had no choice but to pick up a bamboo branch and leaf casually, and pick it up quickly like a sword!

The car is empty! As he had imagined, the woman must have abandoned the car and fled!

Only in the corner, there are still some traces of white powder, which should be the salt used to hide people's ears when they go out of the city today! It's just that in order to drive lightly and quickly, she has already thrown away the salt! It is likely that Jinghua will be left aside!

When the curtain was lifted, a fragrant fragrance came to the nose in the car, and the fragrance hit people! This special fragrance is not like a floral and fruity aroma, nor is it an ordinary aroma of rouge gouache, it is extremely unique! There seems to be a hint of déjà vu!

Lu Chengfeng racked his brains and couldn't figure out where he had seen it.

The strange thing is that before the incense car, the white horse is still there!

"I didn't expect her to abandon the car and horse together!" Wu Jingmo was shocked, "Then she is running on just two legs now!" Little brother riding the wind, let's run too! We'll be able to catch up with that woman! ”

However, the sea of bamboo is vast, which direction should I look for?

In this sea of bamboo, there are no less than 10,000 bamboo trees growing densely, with staggered branches and leaves, covering the sky and the sun. On the ground of the bamboo forest, fallen leaves and broken branches are stacked on top of each other, presumably because the snow fell so much last night that many branches were crushed. I couldn't find half a footprint!

Where do they go from here?
