Chapter 857: Silent Murder

The degree of strictness of the capital has been increased by several levels, although the envoys of the Huns did not limit their activities, but they must apply to the Honglu Temple to enter and exit, and they must also be accompanied by Dayu's security team throughout the process.

Wu Keji was very entangled, and the grassland's estimate of Shenzhou was seriously deviated, and in the imagination, Shenzhou's fear of the Xiongnu Khanate was blindly optimistic. Since ancient times, the Shenzhou Dynasty has prospered but its combat power is not obvious, and it has been almost pressed and beaten by the Xiongnu Khanate since 8,000 years ago.

I am afraid that the purpose of my trip will not be achieved, and it may even become the fuse of the war.

If you want to change the situation, just fight, it's not a big deal. But the current Xiongnu Khanate is suffering from internal and external troubles.

Why did the Great Khan unify the Xiongnu Khanate with a single negotiation? Personality charm is one thing, but the real reason is that everyone has already beaten up the bottom of the family, and everyone is done with the fight.

As soon as the Xiongnu Khanate established the royal court, it sent itself to Dayu for what? Wasn't it to find Dayu, the unjust leader, to let the Xiongnu Khanate tide over the difficulties? But now, ...... I'm afraid that the expectations of the seven million Huns on the grassland will be disappointed.

"Leader ...... Wu" was calculating Dayu's bottom line in Wu Ke's heart, when an entourage suddenly ran in a hurry.

"What's the matter? What is it like to be so flustered?"

"Commander Wu, just now I heard the people of Yu talking about something on the street...... White Horse ...... Army"

"What happened to the white horse in the army?" Wu Keji's heart suddenly chuckled, this name was like fear flowing in the blood, as soon as he heard the name of this army, the hairs on Wu Keji's body stood up.

"The white horse has been drawn from the army, and I heard that he went to Yinchuan...... Commander Wu, is Yu ...... Do you want to strike first?"

"The white horse marched to Yinchuan, which is the first gateway for Yu to enter the grassland, comparable to the mountains and seas of Liangzhou. There are white horse troops in the west, Liangzhou troops in the east, and Western Regions countries in the south...... The only opening in Yu was also blocked.

If you want to say that Yu is at war...... Even if they have the guts, they don't have that benefit...... But at this time...... Not good!"

Wu Keqi was very smart, and instantly thought of a possibility that he didn't want to think about.

"Yu is not going to war, but they are not worried about going to war. They are preparing for war and are ready for the breakdown of negotiations. ”

"That'...... Do we still have any point in staying in Yu Kingdom?" asked the accompanying guards, some of whom were a little bossless.

"Yu Guo doesn't care whether the peace talks are successful or not, but we do. The steppe can no longer be a civil war, let alone a national war. The grassland must have at least ten years of recuperation and rest, and now is not the time for us to fight for interests, what we have to fight for is time. ”

"That'...... The Great Khan's Confession ......"

"I can't take care of it, I have to let Dayu sign a covenant, and I won't fight against us within ten years. ”

"But the king of Dongyuan ...... them"

"If they have the ability, they will come, they will come to Dayu to ask for the New Year's money, and they will make offerings. I can't do it anyway!" Wu Keji mentioned the king of Dongyuan, and they were also on fire in their stomachs.

What kind of virtue is he, there are a few catties and taels under his hands, and he is not forced to count, and he shouts all day long as if he is the first in the world.

Wu Kejian forgot that he was also a bird before coming to Dayu.

"You immediately made representations to Dayu, saying that we hope the peace talks can continue. "Wu Keji made a decision in an instant, this matter cannot be delayed, in case some fools on the grassland suddenly make a fool, all the efforts of the Great Khan will be wasted.

Wu Keji was plotting his own, and Lu Sheng was also mobilizing the Xuantian Mansion to investigate where the two had gone after they disappeared yesterday. Although it is known that the clues that may be found are very small, it is better than nothing.

But in the afternoon, there was another urgent report from the Xuantian Mansion in Liangzhou, a small village on the border of Liangzhou was slaughtered by a mysterious master last night.

This time, Liangzhou Xuantian Mansion didn't dare to send the case over again, and even if he did, he couldn't send it. After receiving the report, Lu Sheng rushed to Liangzhou with Gai Ying.

Songhua Village, a beautiful name. Nineteen states of Dayu, 100,000 villages, most of the village names are very down-to-earth. There are not many people like Songhua Village who have a nice name.

This beautiful village, located in the north of Liangzhou and less than fifty miles away from the grassland, exudes a strong smell of blood at the moment. Countless Xuantian guards were densely guarded around the village, and there was only one village located here within a radius of seven or eight miles.

Lu Sheng swept through the sky with Gai Ying's imperial sword, slowly falling like an immortal.

At the same time, a Xuantianwei wearing a golden cloak came to Lu Sheng with several silver cloaks and knelt down on one knee, "Humble Lu Dingheng, the head town of Xuantian Mansion in Liangzhou, see Lord Fujun." ”

"Get up, what's going on?"

Lu Dingheng is a faction of gate lords, but Lu Sheng has no prejudice against him. In the past eight years, Lu Dingheng's performance has been among the best among the 19 states.

Liangzhou was originally a place where the people were strong, and the public security was second only to Lanzhou and Lingnan. Coupled with the perennial war in the grassland, countless Huns fled into Shenzhou, which made the security of Liangzhou take a sharp turn.

But after the establishment of Xuantian Mansion, this chaotic situation was instantly controlled, although the crime rate in Liangzhou is still very high, but almost all of them are fierce and ruthless cases, and there are no longer forces entrenched in Liangzhou that pose a threat to the people.

Therefore, Lu Sheng has no bad opinion of Lu Dingheng, but he also doesn't like his habitual shirking of responsibility.

"Lord Qiqi, at the beginning of this afternoon, we rushed here as soon as we received the report. It was preliminarily determined that Songhua Village Shi was slaughtered last night. There should have been twelve murderers, and the wounds on all the villagers were of twelve shapes.

The purpose of the killer is unknown, and almost all the villagers were killed in their sleep.

The killer infiltrated the room and killed him with a single blow. But the murderer did not rummage through the belongings, and the murderer's purpose seems to be simply to kill. ”

"Silent Killing Technique?" Lu Sheng asked.

"Yes, it should be a silent killing technique. ”

Silent homicide is a term given to the military department, a skill that the scout battalion must master. This means that a team of scouts infiltrated the enemy camp, unknowingly touched the barracks and then wiped their necks one by one.

There is no sound in the middle, no one is woken up. Until the whole camp, all killed!

The classic case of silent killings has been touted in the history books, and some camps have been slaughtered for days before they are discovered.

Twelve people killed a village with silent murder, is this village a military camp?

Lu Sheng stepped into the first room, this family is a standard family of five, an old man, a middle-aged couple, and two children.

The wounds of the five people were very neat, all of them were stabbed from the throat, and the speed was fast, and the blood gushing out of the blood vessels blocked the throat and made no sound.

"My lord, such a beautiful silent killing technique, could it be someone in the army? But definitely not a Huns!"

"Why?" Lu Sheng asked in a low voice.

"They can't do such a beautiful job, I know that there is a scout battalion in the Liangzhou army, they are proficient in silent killing, in the past ten years, they have sneaked into the grassland several times, and each time they can escape with their whole body......"

Lu Sheng's eyes suddenly stared sharply at Lu Dingheng to stop his words, and then, Lu Sheng left this house and walked to the next one without looking back.

I visited ten houses in a row, and almost all of them were the same. Although the weapons were different, the cause of their death was exactly the same.

Some are cut from the left rib of the chest and inserted directly into the heart, and some are cut from the right artery of the throat, each of which is very precise.

"Lu Dingheng, what do you think is the reason why the murderer used the silent killing technique?" Lu Sheng suddenly asked.

Do you need a reason for this?

Lu Dingheng looked confused! Isn't the murderer's method a silent killing technique? What other reasons are there? What are the obvious reasons?

"The prerequisite for silent killing is not to wake up the sleeping inside. So, how should the murderer sneak into the house and kill people silently?"

"The windows!" Lu Dingheng said as a matter of course, "the windows of the whole village are not latched, and they open with a slight push." ”

At this point, Lu Sheng noticed that the latches of all the windows were open.

"You haven't thought about why the latch is opened, or do you think that the people of Songhua Village don't have the habit of latching when they sleep? If not, why do you want to make this latch?"

When this question was asked, Lu Dingheng's face was suddenly stunned. This is a question he should be able to think of. But the preconceived judgment made Lu Dingheng first think that this was a silent killing technique, and then looked at the window, and sure enough, it was opened, which defined the murderer's killing methods.

But Lu Sheng's question cast a fog over the murderer's killing methods.

"If it weren't for the silent killing technique...... What would that be?"

"Have you noticed the tiny cracks in the top of the bed net? This is supposed to be the crack left by the sharp weapon through it, and when they were killed, the murderer was not behind the room at all, and then opened the window to fake it as a silent killing technique. ”

"Hidden weapon?" Lu Dingheng called incredulously.

"It's not a secret weapon as you understand it, but a swordfight, or a possession technique. As far as I know, there are only four people in the world who can control the object and kill the enemy. ”

"Who?"

"Today's crown prince Jilin, Benjun, Benjun's wife, and the Vermilion Bird of the Twelve Star Emperors of the Demon Sect. The hundred-mile flying sword of the Nanling Palace's mansion has its own uniqueness, although the Suzaku is well hidden, but I still see the shadow of the sword control.

Suzaku controlled twelve kinds of weapons and slaughtered Songhua Village. I guessed the identity of the murderer, but I couldn't guess why he wanted to kill......"

"My lord, I may have found some key clues. ”

At this time, Gai Ying suddenly appeared and said to Lu Sheng.

Under the leadership of Gai Ying, Lu Sheng came to a family, which was also killed in bed, but his expression was hideous and distorted. It was a middle-aged couple who looked to be in their forties.

"Your Excellency, you see, their arms are badly deformed, and their muscles are bulging. This is a technique of dividing the muscles and bones. They are clearly distinguished from other villagers who are killed silently. He must have been tortured before he died. ”

Lu Sheng's eyes flashed, and in an instant, a spiritual light pierced his mind.

"I see. ”
