"Master Li is right, this is really a good place, if you lead the enemy into the valley during the battle, and then block the two openings."

"Then even if the enemy has thousands of troops, he can't use it, as long as he puts a few fires, even if there are many people, he will only be waiting for death."

Li Crocodile said with a smile, Li Xingzhou nodded, this gourd valley is definitely the place of death mentioned in the art of war.

But that's not what Li Xingzhou thought of.

He always looked a little strange at this gourd valley, the east of the gourd valley is Lintan, but there are no villages and towns in the west.

If the people who want to come to Lintan dare not come to the Gourd Valley, the Gourd Valley will become a mysterious place, and no matter what happens in it, no one will find out.

Li Xingzhou looked at the poplar trees around him and asked Wang Xiaoli.

"Shopkeeper, where was the haunted place at that time?"

Wang Xiaoli thought for a while and pointed to a small poplar forest not far away.

"Li Gongzi, that's it, I don't know the specifics, but I think it should be there!"

Li Xingzhou nodded and walked over, carefully observing the poplars in front of him, but found nothing.

So he tightened his robe, hugged the poplar tree, and climbed up.

After climbing the poplar tree, he still didn't find anything, and now Li Xingzhou is strange, it is said that there should be traces left.

After getting off the tree, Li Xingzhou climbed another poplar tree.

On this poplar tree, Li Xingzhou found some different places, and saw that there was a deep strangulation mark on the poplar branch, which was obviously strangled by a rope.

After discovering these, Li Xingzhou suddenly came to his senses.

shouted at Li Hu and the others under the tree.

"Brother Tiger, you should also see if there are any strangulation marks on the poplar trees near here, remember to observe carefully."

Li Hu and the others climbed the poplar tree separately, and soon Li Bao shouted.

"Li Gongzi, there is also a strangulation mark here!"

Li Xingzhou laughed when he heard this, and carefully measured the distance between the two trees.

smiled at Wang Xiaoli.

"Shopkeeper, did the ghost you saw at that time always wander back and forth within ten zhang?"

"Li Gongzi, I can't tell you the specifics, anyway, that headless ghost is jumping back and forth in a fixed place."

"But that ghost fire can't be pretended, one will be in his hands, and the other will float far away!"

Wang Xiaoli said with a sad face.

But Li Xingzhou disagreed, and now it is certain that the haunting is man-made.

But why should the other party pretend to be a ghost?

And Carpenter Tan was also killed, so why did you have to hollow out Carpenter Tan's entire upper body?

There's no need for it!

There must be a demon when things go wrong, and since the other party is doing this, then there must be a purpose.

Li Xingzhou looked at the entire gourd valley and always felt that something was wrong.

But I can't figure out what is wrong.

After descending the hill, Li Xingzhou, Li Crocodile and others rode horses to another intersection in Hulu Valley.

But he was surprised to find that there were some car prints at this intersection, Li Crocodile said with a frown.

"Master Li, looking at the car print, it was left not long ago, doesn't it mean that no one passes by in Hulu Valley now?"

"Brother crocodile, this is not the strangest place, did we find a car print at another intersection?"

Li Xingzhou said with a smile.

Li Crocodile nodded, and when he came, he really didn't find any car prints at another intersection.

Li Xingzhou carefully observed the car print.

It seems that the things in the car are quite heavy, otherwise the car print would not be so deep, Li Xingzhou found that this matter is getting more and more strange now.

It seems that this gourd valley must be hiding some secrets that no one knows.

After thinking about it, Li Xingzhou got on his horse and left the gourd valley with Li Crocodile and the others.

After returning to the inn.

Li Xingzhou sat at the table and said to Li Crocodile:

"Brother crocodile, you take someone to Hulu Valley tonight to keep an eye on, it is estimated that there must be something wrong with Hulu Valley."

"Otherwise, the other party won't pretend to be a ghost, it's obvious that the other party wants to make the gourd valley a forbidden place."

"Well, I've thought about this too, I'll take two people to keep an eye on it tonight"

Li Crocodile also found this gourd valley a little strange.

Obviously, there are people in Hulu Valley, but after looking at it for a long time, I can't find where to hide people.

Li Xingzhou's fingers tapped slightly on the table.

"Big crocodile, remember that no matter what happens, you don't show up."

"Master Li, I understand"

Li Crocodile also knew that it was safest to do this, and after dinner, Li Crocodile left the inn with Li Bao, Li Ying, Li Rabbit, Li Stork, and Li He.

Li Xingzhou was lying on the bed thinking about Hulu Valley.

What he couldn't figure out now was why the other party had hollowed out Carpenter Tan's chest.

It can be said that it is too cruel to do so.

The haunted thing was deliberately made by someone, and its purpose was not to let people go to Hulu Valley.

This makes it easier for them to do something.

This Liangzhou, it seems that Zhuangzi, who is not the princess of Taiping, was infiltrated.

The whole Liangzhou has been infiltrated ruthlessly!

In fact, the whole thing is very simple, just let two people stand on two trees and tie ropes to pull a headless dummy back and forth.

The shopkeeper was just right to see the dummy at the distance, but they couldn't see it clearly.

As for the green ghost fire, it's actually just a phosphorus fire.

Both human and animal bones have a substance called phosphorus on them, and when phosphorus is burned, it glows green.

As a person who has studied chemistry a little, he knows this, but no one understands these truths in this era.

Li Xingzhou somewhat understood, the hollowed-out corpse, the white-clothed headless ghost, it seems that the other party is to make people afraid.

But why is the cut off part of Carpenter Tan's body gone, isn't it more frightening to scatter those human organs and bones around Carpenter Tan?

"No, there must be a problem, what is the problem?"

Li Xingzhou always felt that things were a little wrong.

It was dark in the gourd valley at night, but fortunately it was summer, and the night was not cold.

Li Crocodile, Li Bao and Li Ying rode on a large poplar tree.

Li Tu, Li Stork, and Li He were scattered to the side, carefully observing every move in the gourd valley.

Li Bao asked with a frown.

"Brother crocodile, why is there no movement at all, is Mr. Li thinking wrong?"

"Ah Leopard, don't worry, since Master Li said that there is a problem with Hulu Valley, then there must be a reason for him, let's just stare at the point patiently."

Li Crocodile also frowned a little, it was already late now.

After a while, the sky was about to dawn, but until now there was no movement in Hulu Valley.

Unexpectedly, at three o'clock in the afternoon, Li Xingzhou also came over accompanied by Li Hu.

After seeing Li Xingzhou, Li Crocodile smiled bitterly.

"Master Li, it's really strange, we stared at it all night, and we didn't even take a nap, but nothing happened in Hulu Valley."

"Huh"

Li Xingzhou smiled lightly and let Li Crocodile sit on the chair.

"Brother crocodile, if nothing happens, it proves that our guess is not wrong, we found out that there must be someone in Hulu Valley during the day yesterday."

"And nothing happens at night, that means that the other party must know that you are going to stalk."

"Master Li, are you saying that the other party has seen our every move?"

Li Crocodile was a little strange now, Li Xingzhou nodded and said.

"Yes, I'm afraid that our every move in the Hulu Valley can be seen by the other party clearly, there must be a place for Tibetans in the Hulu Valley, otherwise where did those missing people go, and Carpenter Tan must have escaped from the Hulu Valley, and there are also those strange car prints!"

"Master Li, what should we do now, since the other party has discovered us, then they will definitely not make any more moves, and it is impossible for us to stay in Lintan Town for too long."

Li Hu said with some concern.

Li Xingzhou also nodded, his group was just passing through Lintan Town, and it was impossible to stay for too long.

I'm afraid the other side also knows this. After thinking for a while, Li Xingzhou leaned in front of Li Hu and asked in a low voice.

"Brother Tiger, do you have any acquaintances in Liangzhou?"

"Well, yes, Liangzhou Thorn Shi Cheng Boxian is a friend of the princess, and I am very familiar with his guards."

"It's okay to ask him temporarily to transfer troops"

Listening to Li Hu's words, Li Xingzhou muttered happily.

"Brother Tiger, you set off to Liangzhou now, and let Cheng Tingshi make an announcement, saying that there is an iron mine in Hulu Valley, and the entire Hulu Valley will be excavated in the near future."

"Oh, Master Li, are you trying to play a game of scaring snakes?"

Li Hu immediately understood what Li Xingzhou meant.

Li Hu sighed with emotion, it seems that the princess's husband is not only good at telling stories, but also has a very good brain.

Li Xingzhou nodded and smiled.

"Brother Tiger, you asked Cheng Tingshi to come to Lintan Town in person."

"This is more convincing, and in addition, you don't want to follow Cheng Tingshi back to Lintan Town, after you finish your work, you will directly take people to hide ten miles west of Hulu Valley."

"I'll go to you then, and we'll have a bunny!"

"Okay, Master Li, then I'll leave for Liangzhou now."

After Li Hu left, Li Xingzhou took out supper and wine.

"Come on, come on, my brothers are tired."

"Warm up with some wine."

A large sip of wine poured into his stomach, and a hot heat rose from his belly, like a fire burning in his stomach.

Li Crocodile couldn't help but shout: "Good wine, it's really strong!" ”

Li Leopard sat next to Li Crocodile, and he patted Li Tu and said, "Take it easy, brother." ”

Li Tu didn't raise his head and said: "In our hometown, I am famous for not getting drunk with a thousand cups, and this little wine is nothing." ”

A few of them laughed again.

Li Bao nodded and said, "Come, I'll give you a bowl." ”

Li Tu drank a large bowl of wine in one gulp, and a blood-colored red gas rose on his face, which disappeared again in an instant.

Li Xingzhou saw it in his heart, and knew that he must have practiced very profound internal kung fu.

Probably because of the upsurge of alcohol, Li Xingzhou seemed much more bold than usual.

That night, Li Xingzhou, Li Crocodile, Li Bao, Li Tu and several others drank heartily and talked about everything.

"What's the hurry. I'll go on the road tomorrow, and I'll finally come out with Mr. Li. Didn't you just get this month's pay a few days ago? It's never too late to go back after spending all your money. ”

"Let the Oiran of Liangzhou City see how powerful the next few brothers are!"

Li Crocodile said slowly.

"Flowers?"

Li Xing Zhou Leng.
