――――――――――――――――――――――――
The corpse of the Hu people was placed in a small room next to the side gate of the Dou Mansion.
Dou Lan wrapped the body in a cowhide and placed it quietly in the room. It's remote, so it's quiet too. Li Ding is a frequent visitor to the Dou Mansion, and he has been following Dou Lan during this time, so he took Cao Peng into the mansion, and no family came forward to stop him.
On the surface, the Dou Mansion is calm.
As if there had never been a killing, the guards in the house seemed a little loose.
Dou Lan and Dou Hu are not in the mansion, and it is said that they are busy in the camp outside the city. In two days, the thirty-six adults arrived, and it was the day of the alliance to discuss. Dou Lan also attached great importance to this, and returned to the government every day very late.
General Dou said that Liang Yuanbi would arrive tomorrow, and the body would be handed over to Liang Yuanbi at that time.
Hugh Tu's funerals are different from ours...... Even if that person dies in the Red Water Collection, he must follow the custom of slaughtering everyone. ”
Li Ding led the way ahead, explaining to Cao Peng as he walked.
After a while, the two of them came to the door of a hut. There were no bystanders around, and Li Ding was chanting words outside the door, as if he was praying. Then he pushed open the door, stepped in, took out the fire and lit the oil lamp in the room.
Cao Peng also followed up.
The light of the oil lamp was dim, and the room was slightly gloomy.
Cao Peng walked in and saw the corpse placed in the center of the room. He picked up the oil lamp from the windowsill, walked over to the corpse, and slowly squatted down. Reaching out his hand, he lifted the cowhide from the corpse, and only saw a miserable white face. Hu Ren's corpse had stiffened, and under the light of the oil lamp, his face exuded a gloomy and sympathetic aura.
On the side, Li Ding couldn't help but shudder and took two steps back.
"Gongzi Cao, what do you want to see?"
Cao Peng did not answer, and carefully examined the body.
As he had guessed, there were two fatal wounds on the body.
One on the chest and the other on the neck. This Hu man was cut by someone, and at the same time there was a wound on the side of the chest, which was placed diagonally from the left side and directly submerged into the heart. The murderer was afraid that he would not be crisp, so when he pulled out the murder weapon, there was a flipping action, which also made the wound appear round, which was shocking under the light.
Cao Peng looked at the corpse, his face was very calm.
Judging from the wounds of this corpse, the murderer was by no means improvized, but had been planned for a long time.
There were two people who seemed to know the deceased. One stepped forward to attract the attention of the deceased, and the other suddenly appeared......
In order to prevent the deceased from speaking out, the murderer who attracted the attention of the deceased also slit the throat of the deceased.
In other words, this murderer should be very familiar with the deceased, otherwise he would never succeed without knowing it.
Gently exhaling a breath of turbidity, Cao Peng stood up.
He took two steps back, opened his mouth to blow out the oil lamp, called Li Ding, and exited the room together.
"How, do you see anything?"
Cao Peng smiled and asked rhetorically, "What was General Dou's reaction when he saw this corpse?" ”
"Reaction?" Li Ding showed a blank look, thought about it carefully, shook his head and said, "I didn't react, I just looked at it twice, and left." ”
"Then how do you know that he is Hugh Tu everyone?"
"Don't you see the black wolf head on his arm? It's a pattern unique to the Hugh Tu people......"
"If you think about it again, General Dou was ...... Every move? Every expression? ”
Li Ding meditated, and after thinking for a long time, he said softly: "General Dou really didn't have any reaction...... If anything, he seemed a little surprised when he first saw the corpse. Well, that's it, I really didn't notice the rest. ”
Surprised?
Cao Peng raised his eyebrows, thoughtful.
In this way, the two of them walked out of the Dou Mansion unconsciously and headed towards the inn.
Maybe it's a murder, and Red Water looks a little deserted tonight. The shops and liquor stores were closed early, and groups of guards could be seen patrolling the streets from time to time. However, no one stepped forward to stop Li Ding and Cao Peng, and the two walked along the street, talking in a low voice, and after a while, they arrived at the door of the inn.
"Young Master Cao, what do you mean?"
"General Dou has seen the corpse, did he say anything?"
Li Ding thought for a while, "I didn't say anything special...... He mainly talked about the alliance in two days, and also instructed the tiger to pay attention to vigilance. Well...... Also, I asked about my grandfather. Previously, General Dou sent someone to inform my grandfather and asked him to lead his troops to move closer to Hongshuiji. I got the news this afternoon that my grandfather had left the camp and was expected to arrive tomorrow afternoon. However, General Dou said, so that my grandfather does not have to be in a hurry to show up. ”
And so it was!
Cao Peng's heart moved, and he suddenly brightened.
This Dou Lan is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and Li Qi is also not simple.
"Master Cao, what do you see?"
"Hehe, don't worry, you will naturally see the difference in two days."
Cao Peng smiled and went back to the house.
Li Ding stood in the courtyard, scratching his head, looking even more confused......
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The murder in front of Dou Mansion did not have much impact on Hongshuiji.
As Jiang Xu said, this is a place where there are not too many rules, there are not too many laws, and you can kill people if you don't agree with each other. Even if Hongshuiji is an independent world with Han people as the main body, it is facing the fierce Shuofeng here, seeing the vast pastoral plain, and almost all the people in contact with the brave and ruthless Qiang, Hu and Xiongnu alien races......
The laws of the Han family have lost their deterrent power here, and it can even be said that they are gone.
Hongze people are resentful of the Han court on the one hand, and at a loss on the other...... As a result, their way of life gradually became the same as that of Qianghu. The laws of the Han dynasty in the past have gradually been forgotten as generations have passed away.
On the grassland, there will be battles and fights every day; Deaths and injuries are likely to occur every day.
Even if it is Hongshuiji, although the situation is better, it is not uncommon to see dead and wounded fights.
The next day, when everything was back to normal, no one was surprised. In their opinion, last night's curfew was more due to the fact that the alliance was about to begin, so the atmosphere was tense. So, the morning sun rises, and people continue with their old lives. Those who should go to farming continue to farm, those who should do business, and open the door to welcome customers, which is not much different from usual. If there is a change, it is that with the arrival of more than a dozen tribal adults, the Red Water Market has become more lively.
Located in the post station next to Dou Mansion, Ma Chao faced the rising sun and danced a big gun in the courtyard.
The tiger-headed iron-spine spear with a length of one foot and two feet is like a dragon going out to sea in the sun, drawing lines and arcs in the air. The blue blade of the spear tore through the air, emitting a piercing roar, and the wind overflowed.
Ma Chao was dressed in a snow-white suit, and the gun followed the person, as if he was turning his arm.
On the side, Ma Dai and Hu Bai whispered, and from time to time let out a sound of admiration......
"The eldest son has good marksmanship."
"Brother's move is really beautiful."
With a sharp roar like tearing the sky, the cold light flashed, and Ma Chao put away his gun and stood up.
He exhaled a breath of turbidity, handed the big gun to the servant on the side, took the square towel casually, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Daozhi, have the adults arrived?"
"Twenty-three adults have arrived, and it is estimated that nearly thirty adults will arrive this evening.
Liang Yuanbi will arrive at Hongshuiji tonight, and almost tomorrow, they will all be there...... However, I heard that Li Qi is very likely not to appear, his grandson is in Hongshuiji, and it is estimated that his grandson will attend at that time. ”
"Li Qi's old thing......"
"The eldest prince, Li Qi is old, and over the years, he has hardly attended the Hongze Alliance. I reckon he was ready to make way for his grandson...... Li Qi's three sons, who died of illness in the early years, died in battle, and only such a grandson remained. If he doesn't support his grandson early, who can he support? ”
"But I heard that Li Qi's heart is towards the Han family."
"Hey, what's the matter? It is the trend of the times to return to the horse...... He Li Qi's heart is towards the Han family, but he can't stop the general trend. As long as this alliance is successful, Hongze will be owned by the Ma family, and even if Li Qi disagrees, he has no other choice. I heard that Cao Cao'er ordered the little Cao thief to go out of Hexi this time, and he was not too careful. After all, the war in Hebei is still unsettled, Yuan Tan and Yuan are still there, and the old thief can't spare much strength to help the little thief.
If the old thief really wants to seize Hexi, he can send soldiers and horses.
But so far, I have heard that only a few thousand people have arrived in Lian County, and there has been no other action.
Thousands of people, want to stand firm in Hexi? It's tantamount to a fool's dream.
As long as the eldest prince can hold this red color firmly in his hands, the little thief may not even be able to survive this winter......"
When Ma Chao heard this, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh.
"What the Tao says is exactly what I want.
Others are afraid of that Cao Cao'er, and it seems that a certain family is just like that. It's a pity that my father was never willing to make up his mind. If according to my wishes, while the old thief is busy with the war in Hebei, we will gather soldiers and horses, sweep Sanfu, and occupy the middle of the pass, without much effort. When the time comes, we can take advantage of the danger in the middle of the border and have another duel with that old thief......"
Ma Dai nodded lightly in agreement.
But Hu Bai frowned, revealing a wry smile, and then gently stroked his palms and praised them.
This eldest prince is not bad. In terms of martial arts, few people in Xiliang can resist; On the march and fighting, it is also quite standard. The battle formation of the Ma family is unique, and it is somewhat different from the tactics of the Central Plains. Since Dong Zhuo's death, Ma Teng has risen, and with the Ma family's unique tactics, he is indeed rampant in Xiliang, and no one can resist it.
However, Ma Chao's heart is too big!
Sometimes, it will make Hubai feel frightened......
Liangzhou Ma and Han are respectful, not to mention that Han Sui has a heart of nine bends and eighteen bends, which is not enough to believe. If Ma Teng started a war with Cao Cao, it is not yet known what Han Sui's decision would be. You must know that Han Sui has always stepped on the corpses of his companions to climb up, it used to be Bian Zhang and Beigong Boyu, but now it will be Ma Teng?
Even without Han Sui's elbows, it would not be easy to compete with the entire Central Plains with the bitter cold land of the West.
As for the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan......
How can Wei Qian be good with his peers?
It's just that Hu Bai can't say these words, but in his heart, he can't help but have a little more inexplicable concerns.
