The guard hurriedly ran into the study, and Murong Qi raised his head in distraught.

"Back to the prince, the man in red you asked the investigation last time to have a clue."

Murong Qi's spirits perked: "Where is it?" ”

"Chicken Feather Mountain."

"Chicken Feather Mountain?" Murong Qi frowned slightly: "How could it be there in the wilderness?" ”

Di Tingwei got the silver ticket he rewarded that day from the bustard lady of Linlang Pavilion, and went to Yinzhuang to investigate clues, and it happened that the shopkeeper of Yinzhuang recognized at a glance that the silver ticket was used by their owner to redeem his only son.

According to the owner of the silver village, last month, his only son was kidnapped by a group of bandits and extorted 10,000 taels of silver, and he did not dare to report to the official at that time. He was lucky, and made a unique mark on the silver ticket, hoping that if someone came to exchange the silver ticket in the future, there would be a little more clues.

Di Tingwei inquired about the situation of the bandits from the kidnapped person, and found that it was the same group that injured the deputy general last time with the earth-shaking thunder, so he investigated deeply and found their new lair, which was in Jimao Mountain.

Moreover, some nearby hunters said that they had recently seen red-clothed haunts on the mountain, like ghosts, as fast as lightning, running on the chicken feather mountain. However, because there are thieves and bandits who occupy the mountain, no one dares to go up the mountain to find out. ”

It's really hard to find a place to break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it, but I didn't expect it to be unexpected.

The remnants of the Hidden Sword Pavilion were not able to catch them all at the beginning, it was like a bone choked in Murong Qi's throat. Now that they have sent it to the door themselves, how can they let it go?

He immediately decided that he must personally go out, take the head of the thief leader, and come back to give the deputy general Yu a ball. Immediately take someone to take the chicken feather mountain.

Chicken feather mountain was originally a rich mountain, the mountain is high and dense, and there are many prey, especially the pheasant flocks, so hunters often go up the mountain to hunt, and the chicken feathers in one place get its name.

Now, because there are villains who are committing murder during the day, the hunters can only walk around, and do not dare to come any closer.

Murong Qi found a hunter who was familiar with the terrain to lead the way, and went straight up the mountain road, but it was unimpeded, and there was not even a secret outpost.

Approaching the top of the mountain, the hunter pointed to a ruined mountain temple in front of him: "This group of people I met a few days ago is there, and it seems to be their place. ”

The door of the mountain temple was closed, and there was no sound.

Murong Qi ordered someone to come forward to check.

The subordinates cautiously approached, drew their swords and bows, and waited for the battle, and the leader kicked down, and suddenly a smell of blood rushed towards him, such a hot weather, with a fishy smell, a group of people almost vomited on the spot.

Although Murong Qi was far away, he was almost choked, and hurriedly covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve.

"What's going on?"

The subordinates cautiously entered to check, and after a while, someone came back with an ugly face.

"Back to the prince, there are only eight dead bodies inside, all of them have just died, and the bodies are not ossified. The cause of death was a fatal sword. Moreover, the death posture is very strange, all facing the statue of the mountain god, kneeling on the ground, very reverent. ”

Murong Qi sneered: "It seems that the other party is very cunning and knew the news in advance, so he rushed to kill us before we arrived." ”

"Why? Since he got the news in advance and had plenty of time to lead people to transfer, why did he have to kill each other? ”

Murong Qi slowly rubbed the hilt of his sword: "Because, he and these thieves may not be the same party." ”

"It's strange that he spent this silver ticket ten days ago. If it was black eating black, why didn't the grass be cut down and eradicated at that time, but the lives of these thieves should be spared? Wait until now to start. ”

The sword in Murong Qi's hand had slowly been pulled out of its scabbard, and a cold light flickered.

"There is only one reason, that is, the art masters are bold. He did not take these eight thieves seriously, and after robbing them of their money, he hid in their original lair. It's like a cat catching a mouse, teasing and playing. ”

"Isn't this mountain temple their hiding place?"

Murong Qi shook his head: "This place is too eye-catching, and it is easy to attack and difficult to defend, these thieves will not be so stupid, unless they are forced to be helpless." ”

"So, aren't we a step too late?"

Murong Qi shook his head: "It's not too late. Just because he is tall and bold, he is not in a hurry to leave, and he has to see the real purpose of this king's trip. ”

He slowly drew the long sword in his hand, the sharp edge of the sword facing the sun, shining so brightly that he couldn't open his eyes.

"So, he should still be around here, hidden in a high place with a wide field of vision, watching our jokes."

Murong Qi was angry: "Did you come out by yourself, or did this king force you to show up in the past?" ”

No one knows when the man in red appeared, sitting leisurely on a mountain rock, with his legs crossed and holding a wine gourd in his hand. The mountain wind lifted his untied black hair, fluttering and elegant, with the green mountains and green trees as the background, like a pleasing painting.

The flowers on the other side of the hem are dazzling.

Everyone below was tense for a while, and they were all ready to fight.

The man in red didn't care at all, took a leisurely sip of wine, curled up on one knee, rested his elbows on his knees, and glanced at Murong Qi with slanted eyes.

"The art of war is about knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent to win all battles, and it is true. You and I don't know each other, but it's just a one-sided relationship, and they know me so well, just like the boys. ”

Murong Qi squinted his eyes and sneered: "If you dare to go to this king's Qiwang Mansion to do anything wrong, just rushing at this point is bold enough, do you still need to figure out this madness?" ”

The man in red raised his head and took a sip of wine, "hehe" smiled: "I just went to your palace to take a bath, look at your dignified prince, you are so stingy, you have been sending people to chase and kill me, as for it?" ”

Murong Qi raised his hand and pointed to the mountain temple: "Eight lives, is it enough for this king to kill you?" ”

"A group of thieves who robbed homes and houses, and did all kinds of evil, killed them, barely eliminated harm for the people, and I think they should be rewarded. You can't declare a personal vendetta because I have something to do with the princess, right? ”

Murong Qi shook the long sword in his hand and let out a clear sword roar.

"Less nonsense, let's make a move!"

The man in red ignored him, didn't seem to take him seriously, and still leaned his neck and took a leisurely sip of wine.

"What? Is it a competition between men and women? ”

Murong Qi pursed his thin lips: "The contest between men." ”

The man in red laughed wildly, "Hehe", and couldn't be a lifetime: "Let's just say that you are so idle and can't get along with me as a little thief." It turned out to be for women. I'm planning to snatch your princess to be the lady of the village, it's rare to see a lovely and capable beauty like Leng Qinghuan, and the spicy and spicy one is just the right one to think less. You're here just in time today, why don't you make an offer? ”

Murong Qi was annoyed and angry, and flew up directly, and a sword wind slashed towards the man in red, with surging internal force, he could break stones to open the monument and fly sand and stones.

It is the rivals in love who see each other, and they are very red-eyed.
