Chapter 263: The Disappeared Corpse
Hanging urn mountain is the birthplace of Jinshui, Li Dare to the foot of the mountain, at a glance, only to see the whole mountain range vegetation is dense, lush, the centurion pointed to a waterfall hanging high mountain col, said that the Yangjia village is here.
"What a view!" Li Dang couldn't help but nod in praise.
The mountain road was rugged and winding, and the group began to abandon their horses and walk up the stone steps. Although it is noon, the ancient trees on the mountain are towering, and the road is gloomy, like evening dusk.
Along the way, Li Dang walked very vigilantly, and he often used the cover of trees to move his body. What happened in Fenshui before is repeatedly reminding Li Kang that it is likely that Tong Guan and Li Xian are doing it to him, and this Li Xian now has hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, and Li Kang can't help but be on guard at any time.
Hangzhou Gushan Courtyard is to fight for breath, and the Bianjing Meijia Grilled Fish Restaurant is even more of a battle of will, thinking that he is on the bar with Tong Guan for a few things that are not worth mentioning, Li Dang himself also feels a little inexplicable, he thinks it may be because he knew in his previous life that Tong Guan was the biggest criminal of the Northern Song Dynasty, and he was preconceived, so he did not hesitate to tear his face and offend Tong Guan many times.
Last time in Hangzhou, in order to make himself unable to participate in the bidding, Tong Guan actually sent someone to intercept and kill him, so in Li Kang's eyes, Tong Guan is a ruthless person, and the enemies here can't help but let Li Kang be cautious. However, a defense is an expedient measure after all, Li Dare knows that after Gao Tao takes the position, Li Xian's life will definitely not be easy, this time when the Liao State comes back, he must find an opportunity to bring down Li Xian, so that the life can be steady.
The centurion saw it in his eyes, but secretly laughed at Li Kang's caution in his heart, he felt that now that there were so many people with knives and guns to escort Li Kang, who else would attack Li Kang, unless he ate the leopard's gall.
But I didn't expect that there were really people who ate leopard gall, and a few soldiers who opened the road in front quickly came back to tell that three corpses had been found in the woods in front, all of which were male corpses that had just died.
Li Kang and his entourage quickened the pace of marching. The centurion now knew that Li Kang's worries were not superfluous, and he let the soldiers surround Li Kang around a wall, and a lot of sweat was already pouring from his forehead, but he knew that if something happened to Li Kang, his own net worth and life would probably not be guaranteed.
The centurion followed behind Li Kang, raised the steel knife in his hand, and kept reminding: "Li Shilang, pay attention to concealment, pay attention to concealment!" ”
Li dared to give this centurion a blank look, you screamed so loudly. Is it to remind the enemy that I am here, or to watch out for the enemy? The centurion saw that Li Kang's gaze was not friendly, so he closed his mouth tightly and followed Li Kang closely without saying a word.
Soon, the group arrived in a dense wood, and a soldier pointed to a clearing and said in surprise: "Just now, the body is still here, how can it be gone!" A soldier next to him also swore that he had seen the bodies of three men. Just here, he also pointed and said, "Just now, a corpse was lying face down, lying here, and there was a corpse with ...... head and feet."
The centurion's eyes widened. Staring closely at his two men, he rudely interrupted the soldiers: "You have either seen a ghost, or you are dazzled. ”
Li Dang shook his head and said, "These two brothers are not mistaken. There were bodies here, but they've been removed! The centurion obviously didn't believe Li Kang's words, and he glanced at Li Kang disapplauded. It's like saying, "I've just looked around, but I didn't find anything suspicious." ”
The two soldiers who were honestly frightened just now, afraid that the centurion would blame, calmed down after hearing what Li Kang said, and they were also looking at Li Kang, I don't know how Li Kang knew that there was indeed a corpse here, and the two of them didn't lie?
Li Dang smiled and said: "Li, I have been Langzhong, naturally I am very sensitive to the smell of blood, although it has been carefully disposed of here, the body can be moved, and the blood stains can be covered, but there is no way to disperse the smell of blood at once." ”
Seeing that Li Dare said something magical, several soldiers couldn't help but take a hard breath one by one, and they couldn't help but nod their heads and touch their noses, as if they also smelled a smell of blood.
Li Dang circled around this flat land, pointed to a small piece of ground and said: "The person who handled the scene is really clever, but I don't know where to get a lot of old soil, and it is really difficult to find it with the naked eye." ”
The centurion had been following Li Kang, and when he saw Li Kang pointing to the sand beside him with his finger, he leaned down, stuck to the sand, shrugged his nose, and shouted: "Sure enough, the smell of blood here is particularly strong, and Li Shilang is really clever!" ”
At this time, he had already admired Li Dang so much.
Li Dang nodded and said, "At this time, if you take the sand here, put it in the quilt, and then rinse the sand with clear stream water, it is estimated that soon the stream water will quickly turn red." ”
When the centurion heard this, he hurriedly sent for the container and scooped up the stream.
Li Dang shook his head and stopped: "No need, now that we can be sure that there were three corpses here, the most important thing is to know who disposed of these corpses and where they are now." ”
The centurion's face was blue and white, and he knew that Li Dang was right, so he hurriedly stopped the soldiers who were going to scoop up the water, and shouted: "Hurry up and be on guard, protect Li Shilang." In his opinion, since those people covered up the dead bodies, of course, they were ready for the next round of attacks.
Li Kang's face was relaxed, he was observing the three plane trees nearby, and he found that several branches of these trees were broken, apparently crushed by heavy objects, that is, it is very likely that the three corpses found by the soldiers fell from these three trees, and it was the corpses that crushed the branches.
These three plane trees, the branches and leaves are particularly dense, if people hide on it, it is not easy to be found, at the same time, this area is the most upright of these three plane trees, in these three plane trees, but overlooking a large area below. More importantly, the plane trees grew right at the fork in the road, making it easier for the Assassins to escape after the attack.
Li Dang said to the centurion: "General Annoyed sent a few sergeants up the tree to have a look!" ”
"Up the tree?" The centurion muttered in his heart, "What are you doing on the tree, will the corpse still climb this plane tree?" However, since Li dared to give orders, the centurion still chose two young and strong soldiers and ordered them to climb the trees immediately. (To be continued......)
