Qin Qiong grasped it firmly and looked down.

Below, is a valley that is not very deep.

In the valley, there are many stones and little grass and trees.

What is shocking is that there are countless bones in the valley!

The bones were almost all naked. Some of them have been eaten by wild beasts in the mountains, and only the bones of the forest remain.

Some, who had not yet been ravaged by wild beasts, had blood stains visible on their corpses, apparently having just died.

"Damn!" Shi Ah cursed, "It must be the people who repair the academy, they were exhausted and killed, and thrown here!" ”

"These brutes!" Ah Gui also cursed.

Qin Qiong's face was solemn. "Climb over the mountain first, be careful!"

The three of them walked cautiously, and finally rounded the hill and breathed a sigh of relief.

Qin Qiong found a place that was convenient to observe and looked into the valley.

It's a long way off, but it's a better place to see and see better.

"No, there is a problem...... Qin Qiong frowned and muttered to herself.

Shi Ah and Ah Gui came over and also looked into the valley, but they didn't find anything wrong. "Second brother, what's wrong?"

"It is impossible to use so many people to repair Songyang Academy. Moreover, it was far away from Songyang Academy, and it was impossible for them to throw the corpse so far. ”

Ah Gui was smart and said, "Second brother, those brutes have captured these people, will there be other conspiracies?" ”

"I think so...... too"

"Second brother, look!" Shi Ah said suddenly, pointing to a corner in the valley.

In the valley, there is a lot of gravel, few trees and grasses. But there were many trees in the place where Shia pointed out.

But if you look closely, those are not trees, but branches. Some branches and leaves have long since withered; And some, the leaves are still fresh.

Where are the so many branches in the deserted valley?

Someone must have cut it down and thrown it into the valley.

Following the direction of the branches, looking up, there are also some branches scattered on the rock wall on the side of the valley.

Over there, there must be someone going on!

"Map!"

Agui hurriedly took out the map.

The map is very rough, and the only thing that is certain is that this valley is very close to the south of the river. The approximate location is in the southeast of Yuyuan Pass.

With so many branches and so many corpses, nine times out of ten it was done by the Yuzhou army.

Yuzhou Army, what are the intentions?

It's so close to Henan, you have to figure it out!

Let's go.

After walking for about an hour and a half, rounding the valley, finally approaching the goal.

"Hidden!"

Qin Qiong suddenly waved his hand, reminded him in a low voice, and leaned over into the weeds!

Shi Ah and Ah Gui also hurriedly lay down......

There was a strange sound from not far ahead.

"Quack......

Like the sound of a tree branch breaking......

"Boom ......"

It was like the sound of a tall thing collapsing.

The vegetation is dense and the distance is far away, only the sound of it is heard, and the details are unknown.

The three of them had been lurking for a long time, unaware of the danger.

However, there was another strange noise.

Qin Qiong turned his head and whispered, "Ah Gui, you wait here, Shi Ah and I will go and check." ”

Qin Qiong Shi'a, quietly approached forward.

"Quack......

Another weird noise!

Through the grass and trees, it is faintly visible, not far ahead, a big tree is slowly falling!

The branches of a large tree scrape against the branches of nearby trees. The branches of the trees were broken, and only then did they make a strange sound of "quack".

In the direction where the tree fell with a bang, suddenly, there was a terrible shout.

"Don't scream!"

Some people cursed loudly, but they couldn't stop the commotion.

Qin Qiong Shi'a leaned down and quietly approached forward. Under the cover of the rocks, he poked his head out.

See clearly!

In the dense forest ahead, there is a mountain road!

A mountain road under construction, to be exact.

Where the tree fell, where a group of people were gathering. There are heavily armed Yuzhou soldiers, as well as unclothed people!

A Yuzhou lieutenant was roaring loudly: "Get out of here and work!" ”

A scrawny old man knelt in front of the captain, hugged the lieutenant's leg with both hands, and cried and begged: "Save my son, save my son......"

Beside him, under the fallen tree, there was a dying teenager.

Several people wanted to move the big tree to save people, but they were waved by the Yuzhou soldiers and driven away.

"Save my son......"

The old man was still pleading, annoying the lieutenant.

"Old thing, get out!"

The lieutenant's leg was tightly hugged by the old man, and he couldn't get out, so he was embarrassed and angry, and suddenly waved the sharp blade in his hand!

"Ah......h

With the exclamations of the people, the old man was hacked to death!

"Get out of here and cut down trees!"

The people were so frightened that they had to pick up their tools and continue to cut down the trees.

The lieutenant shouted, "You guys, cut down the branches, pull the trunks away, and throw the branches into the valley!" Strip the clothes of these two dead ghosts and throw them together! ”

……

The situation is clear.

The Yuzhou army is cutting down trees to open the way in the hidden mountains and forests!

This is not a place where crowds gather, and there can only be one purpose for opening up a mountain road more than a foot wide - marching!

The purpose can be imagined. This is the secret passage of Yuzhou to Henan!

Although there is no accurate map at hand, judging by the direction. This road bypasses the Yuyuan Pass!

Once this road is built, the Yuzhou army can detour to the north of Yuyuan Pass at any time and form a north-south attack on Yuyuan Pass!

If needed, Yuan Shu can also send surprise soldiers to directly attack Luoyang and the surrounding areas!

Terrible!

Recently, various intelligence shows that the Yuzhou army has been very stoppable. But who would have thought that such a large-scale project would be carried out in the deep mountains and such a big conspiracy would be designed!

Qin Qiong's instant thought was to rush back to Luoyang immediately to report the news.

However, he quickly rejected the idea.

Here, it is the depths of Songshan Mountain.

Qin Qiong and the three of them are not locals, even if they walk out of Songshan, rush back to Luoyang, and bring the news back, they can't accurately say where they are here.

In this way, the lord Liu Mang got the news and could not determine his location.

Targeted defense is not possible without determining the location.

To the north of Songshan Mountain, along the foot of the mountain for dozens of miles, it is impossible to deploy all of them.

Qin Qiong and Shi A quietly retreated, joined Agui, and the three of them discussed for a long time, but they didn't come up with a good solution.

"Let's go, let's see again!"

Qin Qiong and the three of them returned again. Hide in the shadows and watch carefully.

It's getting dark.

The Yuzhou soldiers brought a basket containing black and swarthy dry food.

With a shout, the people who were working rushed over, and each of them received a small piece of dry food, held it in his hand, and gnawed greedily, reluctant to drop a little dregs.

Dry food was distributed to the people, and the captain of Yuzhou called two soldiers and walked in the hidden direction of Qin Qiong and others.

Qin Qiong and the three of them hurriedly leaned down and clenched the blade in their hands.

The captain of Yuzhou stopped not far away.

"Build a fire here." The lieutenant commanded, and muttered whiningly: "Mother, spread this errand!" Drilling deep in the mountains, I don't even eat a hot meal. While General Li is away, let's eat something hot. The one who brought some meat and roasted it. ”

The two soldiers had just lit a fire when they suddenly heard a commotion in the distance.

The lieutenant exclaimed: "Quickly put out the fire, General Li is back!" When he sees it, it's miserable! ”

The soldiers hurriedly picked up the earth and extinguished the fire that had just been lit. He picked up the twigs and scattered the smoke. Following the captain, he hurried back.

Qin Qiong looked at the smoke floating in the forest, and suddenly had an idea! (To be continued.) )
