Yang Shuoming and Huang Yunzhi enjoyed the magnificent view of the underground waterfall for a while. Yang Shuoming stored the relevant information about the rock salt mine and the path in the cave in the "supercomputer eye", and was about to return the same way, but Huang Yunzhi pointed in another direction.

"Look! There seems to be light there, too. She said, taking his hand.

Yang Shuoming also saw the light there, as if it was reflected from another rock salt mine cave, but Yang Shuoming vaguely felt that the light he saw this time seemed to be a little different.

"Let's go, go over and have a look." He checked the gun in his hand and said.

Yang Shuoming and Huang Yunzhi carefully entered the newly discovered cave with their guns, and as soon as they entered the cave, the cold wind blowing through the split surface suddenly blew out the torch that was almost burned in Yang Shuoming's hand.

The strong cold wind blew Huang Yunzhi's body unsteadily, and fell to the side, Yang Shuoming threw away the torch in his hand, and grabbed her arm like lightning, so that she did not fall.

Huang Yunzhi, who was a little frightened, hugged her husband's waist and looked around, only to find that the husband and wife were at the bottom of a huge crack in the mountains.

Yang Shuoming didn't light the torch again, he looked up at the thin slit above his head that revealed the Dao Dao skylight, and the light coming in from there was already enough for the two of them to see everything around them clearly.

"Here...... It's so high......" Huang Yunzhi looked up at the gleaming crack above her head—the top of the crack in the mountain.

Yang Shuoming looked around, and at this time, his "supercomputer eye" became active again, displaying relevant data.

The bottom of this mountain crack is not too narrow, barely enough for two people to pass side by side, on both sides are unclimbable steep slopes, occasionally sticking out of strange mountain rocks, the whole rock crack seems to be split with Pangu's Heavenly God Axe, which looks both magnificent and weird.

"Whoever falls from above will not survive." Huang Yunzhi looked up at the rock wall in the crack of the mountain and said softly.

"Of course, it's only strange if you don't break into a meatloaf......"

Yang Shuoming looked straight ahead, and suddenly stopped what he was talking about.

Because not very far from them, there were really several "meatloaf".

Huang Yunzhi immediately noticed the bloody corpses, and couldn't help but cover her mouth in surprise.

Yang Shuoming gestured at her, motioning for her to stay there and cover herself, she nodded obediently and raised her pistol.

Yang Shuoming held the box gun pistol and cautiously approached the location of the corpse, and when he saw the appearance of the corpse clearly, he couldn't help but be taken aback.

Because judging by the attire of these corpses, they should all be soldiers!

After confirming the safety, Yang Shuoming exhaled, straightened up, put away the box gun pistol, turned around and beckoned to Huang Yunzhi, "It's okay, come here." ”

Huang Yunzhi put away the gun, cautiously came to Yang Shuoming's side, and looked at the many corpses on the ground with a suspicious gaze.

Yang Shuoming slowly reached out and picked up a bloodstained large-brimmed military hat at his feet and looked at it, and the cursor in his eyes immediately locked on the blood spots on the military hat, showing the time when the blood clotted.

Yang Shuoming put down the military hat in his hand, and the cursor in his eyes locked on the corpses on the ground one after another, and continued to give relevant analysis data.

Even without the analysis of the computer eye, Yang Shuoming can determine that the death time of these soldiers is not long, it should be more than an hour ago.

Yang Shuoming turned over the corpse lying face down on the ground with his feet, the corpse's face had fallen so hard that he couldn't see clearly, but the gun hole on his chest was very eye-catching, and he should have died before falling off the cliff.

Looking at this terrible scene, Huang Yunzhi turned her head a little frightened.

Yang Shuoming began to examine the contents of the corpses, and he noticed that although the corpses were all soldiers, all the weapons on their bodies were missing.

Yang Shuoming did not find anything valuable on the corpses that could indicate their identity, but from the style of their military uniforms, combined with the data analysis of the computer eye, Yang Shuoming was still able to judge that they were Yuan Shikai's Beiyang officers and soldiers.

"They...... How did you fall off? Huang Yunzhi asked in a low voice.

"They didn't fall to their deaths, they were shot dead and thrown from above." Yang Shuoming replied calmly, "Did you see it?" They all had gunshot wounds, and they were all in critical places, and there were not many extra holes, which shows that the man who killed them had very good marksmanship. ”

"No matter how good your marksmanship is, it can't compare to you." Huang Yunzhi thought of Yang Shuoming's spear, and her eyes were filled with pride and happiness.

Listening to his wife's praise uncontrollably, Yang Shuoming just smiled slightly, and he was about to get up to leave, but a package-like thing in the distance caught his attention.

Yang Shuoming jumped over the corpse quickly, and took a few steps to the side of the package, only then did he see clearly that it was a document pocket made of gray canvas.

Yang Shuoming leaned over and picked up the pocket, pinched it, and found that there seemed to be something else in it besides the documents. He got up and returned to Huang Yunzhi's side and opened his pocket.

There was a thin stack of documents in his pocket, and when Yang Shuoming opened the documents, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

These documents turned out to be a letter of appointment from the Yenching War Department!

The official positions on these letters of appointment are of different sizes, but what surprised Yang Shuoming was not the strange names of these official positions, but the letters of appointment stamped with the central political axe of Yanjing Yuan Shikai and the seal of the Ministry of the Army, and the name column was actually blank!

"Look, what is this?" Huang Yunzhi handed a square brocade box in the canvas pocket to Yang Shuoming, "I think it's like a big seal." ”

Yang Shuoming opened the brocade box, and inside it was indeed a jade seal of a Rui beast button, he looked at the printing surface, and there were six Yangwen seal characters on it, "Ganxi Town Guard Envoy Seal".

Yang Shuoming seemed to understand something, he put the seal letter back in the box, and began to look through the letters of appointment, and sure enough, he found the letter of appointment with the official name on the letter inside, of course, the column of the name of this letter of appointment was also blank.

Yang Shuoming carefully read these blank letters of appointment again, and corroborated them with the history of this period that he knew, and his first reaction when he saw the seal letter just now, among these blank letters of appointment, the only "Ganxi Town Guard" with the seal was the biggest official.

According to the history of this period that Yang Shuoming understands, after the establishment of the Republic of China, the difference between the setting of many official positions and the Qing Dynasty is not big, such as the authority of the "town guard envoy" is similar to that of a general soldier in the Qing Dynasty (the town guard envoy in many places was actually changed from the former Qing general army), which is equivalent to the commander of the provincial army division in later generations. During the Republic of China, the town guards were generally located in important places in the province, appointed by the Central Political Axe Army Department, and generally served by active division and brigade commanders (lieutenant generals and major generals).

Could it be that among the corpses just now, there was a lieutenant general or major general under Yuan Datou?

No, there shouldn't be.

Just now, when Yang Shuoming was inspecting the body, he paid attention to the deceased's military rank, and did not find any generals inside.

"Shall we leave here...... Huang Yunzhi looked at those eerie corpses, shivered, and whispered to Yang Shuoming.

"Let's go." Yang Shuoming nodded, put all the things in the canvas pocket into his backpack, and after throwing away the canvas pocket, he pulled Huang Yunzhi and left here.

The couple began to return the same way, and although they didn't make any markings when they came, Yang Shuoming was able to easily find the right route with the help of a "supercomputer eye", so it took much less time for the two to return than when they came.

When Yang Shuoming and Huang Yunzhi returned to the ground, it was already afternoon. Due to the long underground "exploration", the husband and wife had a lot of physical exertion, and they were both hungry and tired. The two walked a short part of the mountain road and stopped at a stream. Yang Shuoming lit a fire, Huang Yunzhi helped Yang Shuoming cook the food he brought, and the two of them shared lunch while gossiping.

"Did you notice, this cave is actually very close to the cave fort?" Yang Shuoming said to Huang Yunzhi, "I suspect that the former Qing Hanlin discovered the salt mine here and built a villa here. ”

"Yes, the scenery here is not beautiful, it is very remote, and the road is impassable, so it stands to reason that villas should not be built in such a place." Huang Yunzhi agreed with Yang Shuoming's opinion, "However, if we want to mine the salt mines here, the cave fort is a ready-made place. ”

Yang Shuoming looked at his beloved wife with approving. Although the two have not been married for a long time, under Yang Shuoming's "training", her ingenuity has been brought into play more and more.

After lunch, the husband and wife were refreshed, and they were about to rest for a while before walking back, when suddenly there was a neighing of horses in the distance.

Yang Shuoming and Huang Yunzhi straightened up vigilantly, stood up, and both of them pulled out the guns on their waists in unison.

Soon, the figures of several horses appeared, and with the sound of horses' hooves splashing water, these horses galloped quickly along the stream.

The knight on horseback soon found Yang Shuoming and his wife, and rushed over to this side, Yang Shuoming and Huang Yunzhi didn't have time to find a place to hide at this time, Huang Yunzhi stood with Yang Shuoming back to back as Yang Shuoming taught her, ready to shoot.

Several horsemen quickly surrounded them, and several knights were obviously stunned when they saw the young couple holding the spear, but they did not touch the spear on their backs.

A knight led by him came closer, and Yang Shuoming immediately recognized him, he was the man in white who watched himself and Huang Yunzhi make love with a telescope on the top of the mountain.

The man in white looked at Yang Shuoming carefully, and immediately recognized them, and a teasing smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth.
