Chapter II. 214. A pool of muddy water

Guo Xing only led the team to rush and kill for a while, and saw that although the other party was numerous, it did not form any large-scale resistance force, so he stopped chasing and killing. Because deep in his heart, he is still a little uneasy about Pei Ya, a 'new friend' who hit it off at first sight.

However, when he saw Pei Ya take the dart head directly to the back of the heart with a sword, he had a little more trust in him: after all, the other party killed the two shopkeepers of the Li family first, and personally dealt with the dart master who witnessed the whole process. He was so anxious to get rid of the troubles, he must not have planned to play any new tricks.

"People with limited mobility, immediately peel off the clothes of these Youbei barbarians and put them aside, and find a set of suitable ones to change into!"

Guo Xing turned his head, shouted a few words to his brothers, and then joined the slaughter with his sword.

There was no doubt that after only half an hour later, more than a hundred members of the Li family's caravan were all killed on the spot. Guo Xing originally planned to put these stripped corpses with the armor of his Pingbei Army, so as to lay down a Li Dai's 'peach stiff plan' to confuse the pursuers, but under the hard pursuit of Yan and Zhang Er, the time was too short, and there was really no time to make more deployments.

As a result, Guo Xing and the more than 100 Pingbei troops under his command were transformed into two caravans of the Li family to sell grain in Mobei; And Pei Ya and Guo Xing, the two adults, naturally replaced the two shopkeepers of the Li family, sat in the carriage unhurriedly and set off along the official road.

Not long after the 'Li caravan' left this place, a shaman came to a small village south of Yuta. In recent days, in the village where he settled, several dolls had eaten their stomachs; He appeared here and now, intending to go out to collect herbs and heal the children of the village.

When he saw the hundred or so dead bodies stripped of their clothes, he was not surprised; All because Shuangshan City is very close to the border of Mobei, and over the years, this situation has happened many times; And he, a shaman, has the heaviest job on weekdays, which is to collect the bodies of these unidentified dead. Whether from the point of view of compassion in shamanic teachings; Or from the perspective of allowing the corpse to decompose, which is easy to incur malignant diseases; All in all, every shaman would not turn a blind eye to this kind of scene.

Of course, this is also one of the reasons why the shamanic goddess and shaman are deeply loved by the people of Youbei.

So, Li Hailin, who was still breathing, was 'picked up' by the shaman and returned to the village for treatment. Although Pei Ya's sword pierced into the back of his heart, the strange thing was that the flesh was not deep, and it was only a skin wound at best. And Li Hailin himself knows this, and naturally accepted Pei Ya's 'kindness'. He is not a stupid person, just by looking at his face, he can see that there is a huge difference in strength between the two sides. In that case, even if you add your own life, it will not help at all; Why don't you leave a life, maybe you can find a chance to 'turn around' in the future?

From this point of view, Li Hailin and Pei Ya are actually the same kind of people. It is precisely because of this that these two fellow believers were able to successfully escape from the trap of death without prior consultation and 'tacit cooperation'.

For Pei Ya and Guo Xing, and even the two Li family shopkeepers who turned into wronged souls, this matter can be regarded as having a clear context; But Li Hailin is the only one, except for the 'annihilation of the dart division caravan', it can be said that he knows nothing, and the true identity of the enemy cannot be guessed, so he can only start the investigation from the governor Pei Yapei, who seems to be 'involuntarily'.

Chivalry is forbidden by martial arts, although he Li Hailin is far from being a chivalrous man, but he has never dealt with people in the government on weekdays; But this time, the blood revenge of more than a dozen brothers has not been avenged, and the Hailin Dart Bureau, which has been run by his 20 years of hard work, has also been smashed, and he, the only person who survived, always has to recover this blood debt for the dead brothers and their families.

A few days later, this strange thing that happened outside Shuangshan City was placed in front of Shen Gui.

"What does Li Darttou mean that Governor Pei seems to be under the control of others? And you can stand in front of me, and he intends to let you go? ”

"I don't dare to say it too much...... But at that time, the tip of his sword had already pierced me an inch in the back of the heart, and if you want my life, you can push it forward by two more inches......"

Early this morning, Li Darttou, who had just taken off the plaque of 'Hailin Dart Bureau', came to the Shen house in the back street of Hezhong. After he described the matter in detail, Shen Gui also felt that there was something strange about it.

"You guys are darts this time, the owner is obviously only on the Li family's side, why are they divided into two caravans? How many private goods did the two dead little shopkeepers of the Li family have? ”

Shen Gui touched his chin and asked Li Hailin as he turned around and rummaged through the bookshelves.

Li Hailin thought for a while, unfolded a map of animal skins on the table, and pointed to Shen Gui with his hand:

"The manager of a granary outside the Li family's Great Wilderness City was originally a distant relative of Li, and this time he was able to receive such a fat difference, and it all depended on his relationship. At that time, we were a group of fourteen people, and we first went to Fuyu County on Dongyou Road to pick up the first caravan led by Li Er's shopkeeper; Immediately after two days of rest in the Great Wilderness City, after the second caravan led by Li Da Shopkeeper was loaded, the two teams went on the road together. Therefore, although the employers are all Li family, the caravan is two ......"

Shen Gui listened to Li Hailin's words as he took out a small jar from the bookshelf. He handed the jar under Li Hailin's nose, pulled the plug casually and asked:

"Li Darttou, come and smell it, is that thing they carrying, is it such a thing......"

Li Hailin took a deep breath, and then immediately turned his head away from the choking smell:

"That's right, it's this weird thing!"

When Shen Gui heard this expected answer, a storm suddenly rose in his heart. Li Hailin didn't know how powerful this thing was, he just poured it in the palm of his hand and sniffed it, pinched it with his fingers a few times, and then added:

"Does Young Master Shen know what this thing is? I was next to Governor Pei when he opened the box and inspected the goods, the second caravan of the Great Wilderness City that was walking in front, and the wooden boxes were full of ordinary grain; And the No. 1 caravan of Fuyu County, which was walking at the end of the line, was full of such strange things under the grain......"

Shen Gui thought about it for a long time, and did not rush to answer Li Hailin's question, but continued to ask him questions:

"Then Li Darttou came to Shen, what kind of result did he want?"

"You and I are both from the rivers and lakes, this murder pays for life, debts are repaid, what else is there to say? But at this time, Li didn't even know who the enemy was, so how could he talk about the word revenge? It's not that Li Hailin doesn't do his best, but the family of those dead brothers is waiting for me to give them an explanation! Since Young Master Shen knew what they were carrying, he naturally knew the identity of the other party......

"Li Darttou ......" Hearing this, Shen Gui hurriedly raised a hand and stopped Li Hailin's words:

"Li Darttou, although Shen's next words are not very good, they are true. I'm afraid that you, the head of the dart, and the lives of a dozen or so of your brothers, have not been taken seriously by others at all! Although Shen has already guessed the ins and outs of this matter, he can't tell you and Pan now. It's all because although this matter doesn't seem to be too big, it actually involves a lot of people, and you will understand if I reveal a little bit......"

After that, Shen Gui took the jar in Li Deng's hand, poured out a black 'dry mud ball' from it, and played with it:

"If my guess is correct, the enemy you encountered this time should be the Pingbei Army from the Northern Yan Dynasty, and the leader should be Guo Xing's lost dog. But now that the private goods carried by the Li family's caravan have fallen into Guo Xing's hands, after he understands the 'benefits' of this thing, even if you don't go to him for bad luck, he will come to trouble you again. And the people who are related to this thing are all big people with hands and eyes. There are the current princes of the prison country, and there are also the prime ministers of the dynasty; There are Mobei important ministers, as well as the Nankang merchant gang. It would be easy for any of them to kill ordinary people like you and me......"

Li Hailin, who had already been mentally prepared, was still taken aback when he heard this: he originally thought that the people involved in this matter, no matter how big the official position was, that is, Li Deng, the patriarch of the Li family, or Pei Ya, the governor of Zhongshan Road, and other Youbei officials; But now when I heard Shen Gui say this, even the prince of the prison country and the important ministers of the neighboring countries participated in it; In this way, wouldn't the matter of wanting revenge become an empty talk?

Moreover, Shen Gui just said that even if he gave up the idea of revenge now, after Guo Xing figured out the usefulness of that 'strange thing', he would definitely come to find his bad luck. As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves. Once Guo Xing, the Northern Yan Killing God, is concerned, it will not be far from the catastrophe.

"Hey, in these chaotic years, Li just wanted to find a way out for his brothers, but he didn't expect to step into this bottomless quagmire. Originally, I wanted to get justice for the dozen or so brothers...... But now it seems that even I, the mud bodhisattva, can't protect myself......"

Shen Gui looked at Li Hailin, who was full of self-pity and self-pity, and whispered somewhat mysteriously:

"But this matter is not without a turnaround, Li Darthead only needs to recuperate in peace in the dart game, and all other things are undertaken by Shen Mou."

Li Hailin, who was depressed, only thought that Shen Gui's words were polite words to comfort him, and he didn't take it to heart at all. He just arched his hand and made a gesture to leave the Shen Mansion......

"Li Darttou, Shen knows that the recent business of the dart bureau is not good, I still have some silver here, you can take it back first and deal with ......it urgently."

Li Hailin, who misunderstood Shen Gui, hurriedly stretched out his hand to push away, but was tightly held by Shen Gui's big hands like iron tongs. Shen Gui looked directly at Li Hailin, who had a gloomy expression, and said quite solemnly:

"I, Shen Gui, am Wu Chengfeng's apprentice, and I eat the same rice in the same pot and drink the water in the same river as you. Now that you have found me, you can trust me. Remember my words, return to the Hailin Dart Bureau to recuperate with peace of mind, and wait for the times to change! ”
