Chapter 31 Investigation

Bloody gas?

Lu Zhao frowned slightly, although his sense of smell was not as keen as Yu Zhan, but he was relatively familiar with this smell after hunting all year round, he took a deep breath, and sure enough, there was a very faint bloody smell in the air, which was extremely difficult to find if he didn't concentrate his efforts.

Zhao Er on the side couldn't help but feel a little nervous after looking at the two of them, these Hun soldiers are tall and big, if they are unlucky and happen to catch up with a large number of deserters here, the consequences are unimaginable.

"Don't panic yet, everyone be careful." Lu Zhao pressed his hand on the longbow, there is both blood and killing here, those deserters are already at the end of the crossbow, if they really want to clash head-on, they will definitely not be opponents.

They leaned down and cautiously walked around the hillside on their backs, and as the distance shortened, the bloody aura became thicker, and they saw that the ground was stained with blood only about ten feet from the entrance of the village.

The three of them suddenly became alert, the blood on the ground was in a straight line, there were slight drag marks on the snow, and there were no corpses in sight, it was obvious that the Huns had killed something in this place, but for some reason they dragged the corpses to the village.

"What should I do?" Yu Zhan looked at Lu Zhao on the side, the latter frowned slightly, for some reason, from the moment he felt the bloody breath, Lu Zhao had a panic in his heart for no reason, although he was trying his best to suppress this feeling, but as the distance shortened, it became more intense.

Seeing that Lu Zhao didn't respond for a long time, Yu Zhan sighed lightly, he withdrew the short knife in his hand into the scabbard, rubbed his stiff hands slightly, and planned to explore the truth, Lu Zhao hurriedly grabbed him: "What are you going to do?" ”

"It's not a way to wait like this, I'll go first to find out the situation, you wait here for a while."

Lu Zhao wanted to say something, but he didn't open his mouth after all.

What Yu Zhan said is true, although this is a Han village, but they are not familiar with this village, if they just wait until it gets dark and the wild things on the mountain come down to feed, then it will be more troublesome to attack back and forth.

And the bloodstains were only at the entrance of the village, but the corpse was dragged into the village, and it was obvious that these Hun deserters were also afraid of something, and did not dare to throw the corpse at the entrance of the village.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhao didn't stop Yu Zhan, just instructed to be careful and moved his hands slightly, his hands were never put down from the bow and arrows, he didn't dare to slack off, after all, such a situation may just be a trap set by the enemy.

Yu Zhan answered, and he hid a delicate short knife in his sleeve and touched it along the side of the village.

He hunched his body, his steps were fast and steady, and he soon disappeared from the field of vision of Lu Zhao and the others, Zhao Er on the side was obviously a little frozen, he stuck the blade in his hand on the ground and rubbed his hands slightly.

Lu Zhao's eyes kept staring at the direction where Yu Zhan disappeared, although his hand was already a little stiff, he grasped the bow and arrow in his hand tighter.

Yu Zhan quickly touched the other side of the village along one side of the village, this village is not big, there are probably only a few dozen households, he searched around and found no trace of the Hun deserters.

Are they not in this place?

Yu Zhan couldn't help but wonder in his heart, when he was about to go back along the side of the village, suddenly a very faint bloody breath floated into his nose, he closed his eyes and felt the source of the smell as much as possible, suddenly Yu Zhan felt that something was wrong, he hurriedly dodged, and a scimitar slashed down his afterimage.

It's dangerous! Yu Zhan couldn't help but gasp, this Hun deserter was really powerful, he had already arrived close to him, and he didn't even notice it, if it weren't for the trace of murderous aura accidentally leaked by the other party just now, this knife might have split himself in half directly.

However, before Yu Zhan could stabilize his body, another knife slashed down diagonally, Yu Zhan hurriedly turned around, and suddenly turned over and flashed over with one hand, but he didn't want to slide directly to the ground because of the tension and force, Yu Zhan secretly screamed that it was not good, and before he could react, the bright scimitar was already on his neck.

Yu Zhan hurriedly raised his head, and met a pair of blood-colored eyes, this Hun deserter with a sword in his hand was burly, and white mist sprayed out from the gaps in his beard, like a hunting beast in the jungle, exuding a dangerous aura all around his body.

"Heh, what a ruthless character I was at the time, I turned out to be a Han ghost." The Hun soldier smiled disdainfully, Yu Zhan took advantage of his slackness, and the short knife hidden in his sleeve was immediately grabbed in the palm of his hand with a slide of his right hand, but the Hun soldier reacted faster, and before Yu Zhan could make a move, he stretched out his foot and stepped on Yu Zhan's wrist.

The pain in the heart made Yu Zhan let go of his hand, and the Hun soldier snorted coldly: "Han little ghost, remember to watch the yellow calendar next time you go out!" It's bad luck to meet your grandfather. ”

The Hun soldier raised the scimitar in his hand high, and with a burst of cold light, Yu Zhan closed his eyes in despair.

But instead of falling on his neck, the knife bounced away with a crisp sound and plunged into the snow on the side.

Yu Zhan opened his eyes, and there was already a handsome young man in front of him, he was tall and looked about his age.

"General." The Hun soldier bowed slightly towards the young man, and the young man glanced at Yu Zhan, turned his head to the Hun soldier and said, "Zhuoba, take him back." ”

"Why? General, aren't you even afraid of a Han ghost now? ”

Zhuoba's face was gloomy, and the young man sighed: "Reckless man's move, Zhuoba, do you know why you have not been reused?" ”

The young man raised his eyebrows slightly, seeing his appearance, although Zhuoba was angry, it was not easy to attack, after all, the current commander was still this guy, and it was naturally inconvenient for him to say more as a subordinate.

"Although the Han people are not as strong as my generation, but they are extremely shrewd, we are now at the end of the road and have to be guarded against, this kid must have been put in by the Han people to investigate, now you and I are the end of the crossbow, if he dies, you and I don't want to have a way to live."

Zhuoba was a rough man, but he also understood the meaning of the young man's words: "You mean to let him go?" ”

The young man shook his head: "The Han people usually don't let one person come to investigate, this person must have an accomplice, we will use this person as bait to lure several other people to take the bait." When the time comes, we may have a chance to survive in the shadows. ”

Hearing this, Zhuoba hurriedly nodded: "What the general said is reasonable, just according to what the general said." After saying that, he stepped forward and grabbed Yu Zhan's neck and picked him up: "Little ghost, I'll let you go for a while." ”

Yu Zhan fainted before he could react, and Lu Zhao and the others, who were hiding at the entrance of the village at the moment, also felt that something was wrong.
