There was tension in the cabin, and Gulal's finger was already on the trigger, which was a very dangerous move, and if he was careless, with a little force, the bullet in the chamber would blow Ah Le's head.

Ah Le was not afraid of panic, but just turned his head sideways and showed a smile to the reed flute, signaling her not to be afraid.

Faced with this situation, Tang Qianrou did not immediately stop Gulal, but just squatted down, checked the corpse, and asked Ah Le: "What about the other four corpses?" ”

Ah Le said coldly: "I threw them off the boat, even if they didn't die, they were seriously injured and disabled, this was their own effort, even if this is the battlefield, they should know that they can't attack the unarmed unarmed people, right?" Not to mention that it is not here. ”

Gulal immediately said, "My people wouldn't do such a thing!" You're lying! ”

Ah Le finally looked at Gulal: "If they didn't do that kind of thing, why did I kill them?" What good do me do if I slaughter them? And the victim is here, you can ask her yourself. ”

After Ah Le finished speaking, everyone present looked at the reed flute, and Tang Sirong, who was originally observing the strange parts in the iron box, also raised her eyes to look at the reed flute, expecting her answer.

The reed flute nodded slightly: "Things are the same as what Brother Ah Le said." ”

"Which one?" Gulal asked sharply, "What I want is a detailed history, how do I know if it was your collusion!" ”

Tang Qianrou frowned: "Gulal, don't be like this, put the gun down, Ah Le can't attack your people for no reason, he is not a bloodthirsty madman, and the person who killed you will not do him any good." ”

Instead of putting down his gun, Gulal asked again, "Miss Reed, please tell me the process of the matter, thank you!" ”

While Gulal's words sounded polite, there was a menace in his gnashing tone.

"I ...... Shall I start at the beginning? The reed flute looked at Tang Qianrou, knowing that she had the final say here, and after Tang Qianrou nodded, she continued, "I fell from that side, and when I fell, I just fell into a pile of hay, and I don't know why there was hay there, but I later judged that it should be some kind of animal's nest, because I found animal feces about ten meters away from the nest." ”

Gulal immediately asked, "Where is it?" ”

The reed flute pointed outside the cabin: "From the rock next to the hull, you can see it less than fifty meters to the north, you can send someone to check, I won't lie." ”

Gulal shouted out the door, "Victor, do you hear me?" Check to see if there are any animal nests there, and if so, don't act rashly and stay safe! ”

Victor answered the door and left.

Ah Le and Tang Qianrou both knew that Gulal and Victor had been outside the door before, and he did not let Victor come in directly, also out of safety considerations, it seems that in this environment, Gulal can't even trust Tang Qianrou, otherwise he would not let Victor stay on the deck with a gun.

Gulal shifted his position, the gun in his hand still pointed at Ah Le: "Go on." ”

The reed flute continued: "When I found this ship, I thought it was strange, and you know that it is impossible to see such a ship on the grassland, so I decided to come up and investigate, but when I was about to board the ship, I found this person......"

The reed flute pointed to the corpse on the ground: "He stood on the side of the boat, and then pulled me up, and at that time, I thought I had been rescued, so I asked him about the others, and he said that there were four people alive, all in the cabin, and let me in, and I didn't think much about it, so I followed him in, and he tried to ...... me Fortunately, Brother Ah Le appeared in time and saved me, and that's how it happened. ”

After hearing this, Gulal let out a strange laugh, looked at Tang Qianrou and said, "Do you believe her words full of loopholes?" ”

Tang Qianrou hesitated: "The matter has come to this, and everyone is already dead, is there any point in you pursuing it further?" If you kill Ah Le, we will lose a helper, and one less person, we will lose one percent of the chance to find Qimen and survive. ”

Ah Le leaned there without speaking, took out the cigarette case, and looked at the few cigarettes left inside.

Gulal shook his head and said, "My people won't do that kind of thing, they are all highly trained soldiers!" ”

"You're just mercenaries!" Ah Le couldn't help but say, "It's just a group of beasts who can do anything for money!" ”

Gulal put down his gun: "Really? Weren't you also a soldier of the French Foreign Legion before? You're a mercenary too! ”

Ah Le stepped forward: "You also know that it is the French Foreign Legion, I am for France, not simply for money, we have our own honor, what do you have?" After each of you left your former army, did you gather together for the sake of world peace? ”

Gulal also stepped forward, and the bodies of the two were almost together: "You owe me five lives, and I will find you to pay it back." ”

Ah Le smiled: "Welcome to ask for it at any time, but I only have one life, it's a pity." ”

Gulal said, "It's okay, I'll let you die five times!" ”

"That's it! Shut up! Tang Qianrou knew that if this continued, things would get out of control, she knew the temper of these two soldiers, and the contradiction would definitely be unresolved, so she could only find a way to maintain the status quo.

Tang Qianrou deliberately stepped forward, walked between the two, separated the two, and then said: "Ah Le, you and the reed flute follow me, Gulal, you take someone to survey this cave, assess the degree of danger, if possible, find out where the road is, there must be a way out here." ”

"Yes, there must be a way out!" Tang Sirong finally spoke, and took out a rusty gear from the box, "This ship didn't come in by water, but was transported in batches by land and reassembled together. ”

The reed flute immediately stepped forward, took the parts in Tang Sirong's hand and looked at it: "Why do you want to do this?" Who did it? ”

"Cast Iron Immortal." After Tang Sirong answered these three words, she motioned for Tang Qianrou to follow her to the corner, and said in a low voice, "It seems that the direction we are looking for is correct, and Qimen should be in the Altai Mountains." ”

Tang Qian said softly: "The Altai Mountains are still at least a day's journey from here, too far, right?" But what's going on with this ship? ”

"Factory." Tang Sirong turned to look at the iron boxes in the cabin, "This is a factory, a factory for smelting pig iron, if I guess correctly, somewhere in this cave, there should be iron ore, on the grassland, iron smelting is not developed, cast iron immortals, no, it should be said that they are the descendants of the cast iron immortals, that is, our ancestors can only transport the entire foundry in, and it is used to disguise the tribute gold ships of the Northern Song Dynasty, I am a little suspicious now, even Qimen was created by them." ”

Tang Qianrou looked at her mother with disbelief: "How is it possible, such a huge project, not to mention in the Northern Song Dynasty, even if it is put now, it will take a lot of manpower and material resources to do it, not to mention time." ”

Tang Sirong looked at Ah Le and the reed flute, who were whispering something there, and lowered her voice: "That's why I think we're very close to Qimen!" The reason why our ancestors did this must have been to fulfill the final wish of the Cast Iron Immortal, to create a strange gate, and to complete his unfinished business. ”

Tang Qianrou immediately asked, "Mom, do you know what's in Qimen?" ”

Tang Sirong shook her head: "How could I know, if I knew, I wouldn't have to work so hard, all this is just my guess, we are here now, no, it's a snowstorm, God sent us here, we have to find out all this!" ”

Tang Qianrou nodded: "Then how should we start?" ”

Tang Sirong said: "There are four of us here, I take the reed flute, you take Ah Le, let's go our separate ways, first search the ship completely, see if we can get any useful clues, and then follow the clues to find out what happened here back then." ”

After Tang Sirong finished speaking, she couldn't wait to leave the cabin, Tang Qianrou immediately walked up to the reed flute, and gave a simple order, and the reed flute had to leave with Tang Sirong.

After the two left, Tang Qianrou pointed to the door in the cabin and asked, "What's inside?" ”

Ah Le stepped forward and pushed open the door, shining a flashlight on the stairs inside: "It's a staircase, made of iron, as you guessed before, the lower cabin is very large, it's a smelting factory, and there are a lot of molds in it, but I can't see what it's for, do you want to go down?" ”

Tang Qianrou nodded: "Of course, you lead the way." ”

Ah Le turned off the flashlight, turned on the headlamp, took out a pistol to check, and walked down the stairs first: "If you have anything to ask, just ask." ”

Tang Qianrou cautiously followed behind Ah Le: "Why did you attack Gulal's people?" ”

Ah Le replied lightly: "I have already answered, and I don't want to answer anymore." ”

Tang Qianrou stopped on the stairs: "You called the reed flute to say that, I can hear it, and I also know that the reed flute is not a person who can lie, from a certain point of view, she is still a child." ”

Ah Le turned to look at Tang Qianrou: "Are you scolding me for using a reed flute?" ”

Tang Qianrou shook her head: "I just want to know, why did you do that." ”

Ah Le smiled, leaned against the wall and lit a cigarette: "I don't like to lie, in fact, I can't lie, let me tell you the truth, before you found me, someone found me, hoping that I would help him do something, kill someone or something." ”

Tang Qianrou was shocked and realized something: "You killed my dad?" ”

Ah Le nodded slowly: "You are very smart, you should have guessed it out of thin air, right?" Because I didn't leave any evidence at the scene, but rest assured, I have basically completed the client's task, and next, I will wholeheartedly help you find Qimen, and then take you out of Mongolia alive and return to China. ”

"You really didn't leave any evidence or clues, and no one else present had a motive to kill him except my mother, and Gulal also said that my mother was crushed by the box at the time, and an old lady couldn't move the box out, strangled him with a rope, and then climbed back and put the box on her body." Tang Qianrou's eyes were full of questions, "So, I was thinking at the time, maybe someone else in the team did it, who could it be?" When I saw you, I immediately suspected you, because you appeared too strangely, and most importantly, the reed flute's words were full of loopholes, plus you yourself admitted that you were hired by someone, these clues piled up, and the only murderer who could be pieced together was you, of course, if you didn't admit it, I couldn't help it. ”

Ah Le handed the gun to Tang Qianrou: "You can kill me now and help your father avenge me." ”

Tang Qianrou didn't take the gun: "You know that I won't do that, you know that I won't believe Gular and them, I will only believe you, for me, those mercenaries are cannon fodder used to sacrifice, I just want you to tell me, who hired you, the employer must be someone from the company." ”

Ah Le continued to walk down: "I can only answer you, it is true that someone from the company hired me, but I can't tell you who he is. ”

Tang Qianrou followed: "Don't forget, if it weren't for my parents, you would have been killed by the company a long time ago, and you wouldn't have lived until now!" ”

Ah Le stood at the door of the cabin below and stopped: "I can survive, not because of their efforts, but because the company let me go, don't you understand?" It's not you who have the final say, you are only a minority shareholder at best, and how can I survive without the nod of someone who is really in charge? ”

"You're saying the person who hired you is the big boss?" Tang Qianrou was stunned, "Answer me!" Yes or no! ”

Ah Le shook his head in embarrassment: "You don't know who the big boss is and where he is, you ask me?" ”

Tang Qianrou walked up to Ah Le and asked, "How much money did he give you?" ”

"A mansion in downtown Paris, two shops, and a lot of money." Ah Le directly answered Tang Qianrou's question, "The most important thing is that the person who wanted to kill me at the beginning was not the company, but your father Wan Qingquan!" He wanted to kill me, and then he deliberately saved me, made me owe him a favor, and then he was at his mercy! ”

Tang Qianrou said angrily: "Impossible! ”

Ah Le glared at Tang Qianrou: "Impossible? Don't you know what kind of man your father was? He's a despicable bastard! So, I'd love to help that guy kill him, don't forget, it's not for him, my men won't die, they're all my best brothers, and your father experimented on them! This is all evidenced and video, and the person passed it on to me, and I confirmed it with my own eyes! ”

Tang Qianrou shook her head: "It turns out that from the beginning, I was calculated?" ”

Ah Le pointed at Tang Qianrou: "You calculated me, I didn't join the Cusco company because I believed in your father, but because I believed in you!" I regret why I fell in love with you! So, even though I'm conflicted and I regret it, I promise to help you find Qimen and bring you back alive, and now, you'll either shoot or follow me on!" ”

After Ah Le finished speaking, he pushed open the horizontal hatch with great difficulty and strode in.

Tang Qianrou looked at his back flickering in the dark, and suddenly pulled out his pistol and aimed at Ah Le's back.

Ah Le heard the sound of her drawing a gun, and simply stood there without moving, but did not turn around, and waited quietly.

Finally, Tang Qianrou put down the gun, took a deep breath, calmed down herself, and walked into the huge bilge with her feet raised.

On the top deck above the two of them, Tang Sirong was observing all the way, and in the eyes of the reed flute, she was like a terrifying witch, looking east and west, and from time to time using her hands to pick up some unnamed things on the ground, and then shaking her head and throwing them away.

"You're helping that Ah Le lie." After stepping onto the deck, Tang Sirong finally spoke, but did not turn around, "I can see that you are a kind child, you are just here to help him, because you think he is a good person, after all, if it were me, comparing Ah Le with those mercenaries, I would also think that Ah Le is a good person." ”

The reed flute didn't speak, just stood there blankly, in fact, her actions were already an admission of Tang Sirong's speculation.

Tang Sirong slowly paced to the reed flute, and said with a smile: "In this environment, I believe that the people around me are correct, this is my experience, by the way, I heard that you are an expert in the Altai region, you must know a lot about the Altai area, can you tell me in detail?" I don't know anything about there. ”

As she spoke, Tang Sirong turned around, squatted on the ground, picked up a small piece of wood on the deck with a knife, put it in front of her nose and smelled it, then threw it away again, and turned her head to look at the reed flute.

The reed flute looked at Tang Sirong and replied for a long time: "I have traveled to the Altai region many times, and I have sorted out a lot of materials, and they have been printed into books, many of which have been excerpted into nature textbooks. ”

Tang Sirong smiled: "It's good, you are a scholar, then I can rest assured, do you know anything about the Four Seasons Mountain?" Do you know where that mountain came from? Do you know what's inside? ”

The reed flute shook his head: "I have been to the area of the Four Seasons Mountain, but I have never set foot in the Four Seasons Mountain, because it is not only dangerous, but also guarded by a primitive tribe, this time I also hope to work with you to truly explore the Four Seasons Mountain in the Altai Mountains, and reveal the secrets of it." ”

"Publicly?" Tang Sirong nodded, got up and looked at the reed flute, with a kind smile on her face, "What a good boy, I believe that you will definitely make great achievements in the future." ”

The reed flute politely replied, "Thank you for the compliment." ”

Tang Sirong walked to the side of the ship: "When I was young, if I were like you, maybe I wouldn't have made so many mistakes, I just made the wrong choice because I was too eager for quick success, but those mistakes I made also made me understand a truth, that is, everything must have its own value, if under some special premise, something loses its own value, then it can only be abandoned, otherwise it will become a burden to everyone, do you know?" You're a burden right now. ”

The reed flute looked at Tang Sirong suspiciously, not knowing why she would say that.

Tang Sirong looked at the reed flute and said with a smile: "We hope to find a guide who can enter the mountain, not a scholar who only understands the natural environment of the Altai Mountains, so you can only waste resources if you live." ”

"You ......" The reed flute was about to say something, but Tang Sirong had suddenly moved behind her and pushed it hard, pushing it directly off the edge of the ship.

With a scream, the reed flute fell straight into the darkness under the ship.

After doing all this, Tang Sirong turned around to go back to the cabin, but the moment she turned around, she saw Gural and Victor who had returned to the ship at some point - the two witnessed the whole process of Tang Sirong's murder of the reed flute.

"I've already avenged your brothers, so please don't hold Ah Le accountable again." Tang Sirong's tone was extremely relaxed, as if killing people was completely commonplace for her, "No, I should say that I don't know what's going on, the reed flute is missing, if you have time, you can go and find her, I personally think that the chance of her surviving is very small, so it's best not to waste too much time on this matter." ”

After Tang Sirong finished speaking, she paced towards the cabin, leaving Gulal and Victor who were cold.

After a long time, the two glanced at each other, and turned to look at the dark cabin together, as if what they saw just now was not Tang Sirong, but a banshee with an evil smile on her face who had just finished eating a soul.

"Boss." Victor clenched his assault rifle in his hand.

Gulal motioned to Victor to stop talking: "Don't say it, you go and tell the other two brothers to sort out their weapons and equipment, we must get out of this hellish place as soon as possible, don't forget, the most terrible thing is not that old woman......"

As soon as he finished speaking, a strange cry came from the depths of the cave, which shook Gulal and Victor.
