Chapter 245: Protector General Wei Lihu
When everyone heard this, they all took the weapons in their hands and walked slowly into the river with heavy steps.
This time, instead of swimming into the river in a swarm like the previous ones, they swam forward one by one in a row. The person who swims in front is protected by the person behind, so that in case of an accident, the person behind can be rescued in time and not all of them will be trapped.
When the first man swam to the end of the project, he said to the people who were still splashing in the river: "What is the matter with you, why are you all trapped here?" ”
One of them came out of the water and said to her, "Our feet seem to have been choked by something, and we can't break free at all..."
Speaking of this, she seemed to be pulled down by something under her feet again, and was immediately poured a large mouthful of water, and when she finally surfaced desperately, she could no longer speak, and could only cough violently.
Seeing this, the inquiring guard didn't ask any more questions, let alone go to the rescue, but turned around and wanted to swim back to the shore quickly, ready to explain the answer she asked to Wei Quan.
However, when she turned to swim, a branch flew right in front of her, and before she could open her eyes and make any gestures, the branch was already in her throat, and before she could even scream, she was already dead at the bottom of the river.
And those who have the same experience as her are several people around her. This sudden change frightened all the people on the bank of the river to panic and take precautions. Look around vigilantly.
Wei Quan shouted at the grove by the river: "Who is it, if you have the ability, you will come out, what kind of hero is the one who hides his head and shrinks his tail..."
She shouted for a long time, there was no movement around, as if there was no one she was looking for here, the silent river, the quiet woods, there seemed to be nothing unusual, but they all revealed the strangeness of Sensen.
This weirdness is like a poison, constantly eroding everyone's hearts, making them as afraid as if they are in the palace of Hades.
When everyone was nervous, Wei Yiyang quietly moved to the small tree on the side, and picked off a branch without a trace, the branch that came from the north just now was not shot by him, so the only person who shot it was Leng Yue.
Now that everyone is concentrating on guarding the north, then he will kill Wei Quan from the west now, so that he can solve the danger of Leng Yue, and second, it can also cause a sense of fear in the hearts of everyone that the murderer's martial arts are superb. This gives them an extra chance to do next.
When Wei Yiyang filled the branch in his hand with true qi and was about to hit Wei Quan, he suddenly heard a team of people and horses outside the grove rushing here, listening to the sound of horses' hooves, it seemed to be the people and horses of Wei Lihu, the general of the country, he was in a hurry, and the branch in his hand came out of his hand, because of the momentary chaos, so his branch was not accurately inserted into Wei Quan's throat, but from her throat, although it made her suddenly bleed and fell to the ground and wailed, but it did not penetrate her throat, so that she died on the spot.
As soon as Wei Quan fell to the ground, everyone screamed in even more horror, and her men immediately stepped forward to help her and began to inquire about her injuries, while the others drew their weapons and protected her in the middle.
Just when everyone was in shock, a tall and mighty man appeared in front of everyone on a horse as brave as him. This person is none other than Wei Lihu, the general of the Red Sea. And behind him, there was also a light horseman, numbering about thirty people.
When everyone saw them, their faces swept away the previous panic, as if they had seen a savior, and they shouted with joy on their faces: "General, please save all the generals!" She's dying. ”
Wei Lihu rode his horse in front of everyone, looked condescendingly at Wei Quan, who was lying on the ground half-dead, frowned slightly, and then gestured to the person behind him. The men understood, so they immediately dismounted, went into the woods, and in a short time they came out on a stretcher. Then four people stepped forward, put Wei Quan on a stretcher, and carried her away as fast as they could.
Wei Lihu dismounted and walked to the river, and asked his subordinates to fish up the corpses in the river, these people were agile, not only salvaged the person killed by Leng Yue, but even the people who drowned in the river before the earliest were also salvageated, some of those people had lost their breath, and some still had a breath.
Wei Lihu glanced at several corpses on the ground and asked, "What is going on?" ”
Although his tone was very calm, it gave people a great sigh of oppression. At this time, Wei Lihu was very angry, because he didn't expect that under the nose of the Son of Heaven, such a thing could happen, if he hadn't just returned to the palace and heard the shouts coming from this small forest, he immediately brought people here, and he didn't know how many more people would die.
None of his questions could be answered, because no one knew what was going on here.
Wei Lihu saw that everyone was silent, so he looked at his subordinates who had just gone down to the river to salvage. Receiving his inquiring gaze, a person stepped forward and said to him: "The drowning people are entangled in the water vines at the bottom of the river, so they can't move, and these people. Pointing to the dead bodies on the ground, he said: "They all died by sticks stuck in their throats and cut their throats." ”
When Wei Yihu heard this, he once again moved his gaze to the corpses on the ground.
The moment Wei Yiyang saw Wei Lihu, he knew that things were going to be bad, this person was not only unfathomable in martial arts, but also meticulous, and his intelligence and wisdom were rare in the world.
Wei Lihu raised his eyes and glanced at everyone, and saw that everyone was at a loss, only Wei Yiyang, although his face was frightened, his eyes were extremely clear, and his pupils couldn't help shrinking. His gaze stopped at him.
Wei Yiyang noticed his gaze, so he took the initiative to step forward and talked about it intermittently beforehand. After finishing speaking, he stood aside respectfully. He knew that this statement could deceive Wei Quan, but he couldn't deceive Wei Lihu, but this was what he said to Wei Quan at the beginning, and now, he can only say it again.
After Wei Lihu heard this, he didn't show anything unusual, he looked at everyone and ordered: "Immediately check the people in your team to see if there is an increase or decrease." Count the corpses on the ground together, and if there is something unusual in any team, it proves that the murderer is in that team.
When everyone heard this, they immediately panicked, and the leader immediately began to count the number of people in his team. I am afraid that my team will hide the murderer.
When Wei Yiyang saw Leng Yue in military uniform, his heart was more fearful than anyone else, now that all the corpses are here, it proves that the people in each team are all together, but Leng Yue appeared in the team at this time, once the number of people is counted, there will definitely be one more person in the team.
It's just that now Wei Lihu is staring closely, so that he doesn't dare to make any changes, and there is no way to tell Leng Yue that this Wei Lihu is a very difficult person who wants to play tricks in front of him. It's not enough to fill him at all.
Leng Yue didn't have Wei Yiyang's worries when she fell, because she had quietly killed a soldier when everyone was about to enter the grove, and then changed her clothes and walked here with everyone, so even if Wei Lihu asked for the number of people, there would be no mistake at all.
Sure enough, after the leaders counted the number of people, they said to Wei Lihu: "General, there is no difference in the number of people. ”
After Leng Yue heard this, she looked at Wei Yiyang with some pride, and when Wei Yiyang came into contact with her eyes, he warned her without a trace, and immediately looked away.
Seeing him like this, Leng Yue pursed her lips with some dissatisfaction, now that it will be dark soon, when she kills a few more people and throws them into the river, she dares to guarantee that no one will find out.
Wei Lihu has been observing everyone's every move, because he knows that the murderer is among these people, and after seeing Leng Yue's subtle movements, he is basically sure that even if Leng Yue is not the murderer, it must be related to the murderer.
Seeing that it was already dark, he ordered the torches to be lit at once, and then separated in the grove to see if anything else was found.
No one noticed that when he gave this order, he quietly made a gesture to his men, which was a gesture of spotting the enemy and preparing for battle.
Others can't understand it, but Wei Yiyang understands it very well. When he saw this gesture, he immediately thought of noise. He knew that they had been discovered, and now Wei Lihu's so-called scattered search was just a coward to lead them to strike again.
Leng Yue didn't have the same worry as Wei Yiyang, she felt that Wei Lihu's order had come to her opportunity.
So, she sneaked into the woods as fast as she could, ready to assassinate at any time, although she didn't know Wei Lihu, but from the momentum point of view, she knew that this Wei Lihu should be a very difficult character. A man can do the position of a general. Presumably the martial arts are not bad.
Therefore, wherever she went, she tried to stay away from Wei Lihu and his men, but her distance made Wei Lihu more determined in his thoughts, so he followed her in secret without a trace.
When Leng Yue was hiding behind a low tree, ready to kill a soldier who was only twenty meters away from him, Wei Lihu was on a big tree two hundred meters away from her, looking intently at the tree where she was squatting.
Leng Yue raised her hand and slowly poured her true qi into the branches, looking at the figure that was getting closer and closer.
When she was about to make a move, a figure pounced on her, pressed her to the ground, and kissed her in the face.
Smelling the familiar breath, Leng Yue withdrew her hand that was about to attack and began to push him hard, feeling very dissatisfied with his casual kissing behavior.
For her resistance, Wei Yiyang did not dwell on her much, but let her go. But the hand holding her did not let go.
