Chapter 1197: Into the Bandit's Lair
If it is really as Yun Thirteen said, this is the lair of the Wild Wolf Gang, then at this pass, there must be someone to guard it.
In the valley, every few tens of meters, a sentry is set up, and the province is not aware of the invading foreign enemy.
So as soon as he entered the mountain pass, Zhao Wu put his hand on the handle of his waist.
Prepare to meet the sentry, draw your sword, and cut it down at once, so that he will not be silent.
However, since the horse entered the mountain gate and walked dozens of meters without seeing a person, Zhao Wu felt that something was wrong.
Cloud Thirteen, who followed behind, also found a problem.
"Young Marshal Zhao, this place seems to be an empty mountain......
In order to hunt down Ah Liao, Yun 13 walked in the north for more than a year. He knows more about the situation here than the locals.
The Wolf Gang is famous in this area. Therefore, Cloud Thirteen can't be mistaken about this place.
I didn't expect that when I came here, I couldn't see anyone. Cloud Thirteen was even more confused.
"No, it's not an empty mountain......" Just as Yun Thirteen was stunned, Zhao Wu had already ridden his horse for more than ten meters, and he had already passed a corner. At this time, he saw a sentry box standing on the hillside not far away.
He grabbed the reins and looked at the sentry from a distance.
His martial arts are superb and his eyes are also very good. Although it was a few hundred meters away from him, he could clearly see that there was no one in the sentry box.
The mountain doesn't look empty, but it's not there, and that's not normal.
Cloud Thirteen also came with his horse. Seeing the situation in front of him, he felt a little strange.
"Young Marshal Zhao, why don't you send someone to investigate?"
Now that they have come here, they are deeply suspicious of the fact that they can't get rid of the connection with Chu Xintian's kidnapping, so everyone must do a good job of investigating.
"It seems to me that there are no living people here." Zhao Wu judged.
In his experience, no matter where they were, there was always a gang of robbers who would be on the lookout for attacks at the imperial court. They wouldn't be so open, they wouldn't even have a sentry arrangement.
As he spoke, Zhao Wu whipped his whip and continued to walk along the path paved with stone slabs. E-Book Workshop
Cloud Thirteen, Hammer, and a group of guards followed.
Soon they were plunged into desolation.
This barren mountain is an upright layer of soil. The houses were dug out of the soil in the mountains. It's a cave.
There are several gables in the depression. They all have caves. More than a dozen caves form a small courtyard.
From a distance, Zhao Wu saw that in the middle of the courtyard, there was a pair of black things, as if there were some burnt marks.
They came all the way. On the walls and stones on the road, there are obvious black and purple spots. This is what it looks like when the blood dries up.
Zhao Wu's heart burned with a bad premonition.
Yun 13 chased Zhao Wu's horse closely, and naturally saw Zhao Wu's eyes.
Whose blood is it on the way?
What's more, the blood has dried up and turned into this color. It seems to have happened a few days ago.
No wonder Zhao Wu saw that there were no living people here.
Soon they came to the small courtyard, in front of the pile of black things.
A guard jumped off his horse to check what it was.
Soon, the guard turned around and reported to Zhao Wu, "Young Marshal, these are all ...... These are human remains......"
The guards followed Zhao Wu from birth to death on the battlefield and witnessed many tragic scenes.
The charred corpses in front of him, although they looked terrible, were no longer afraid.
Zhao Wu's face was expressionless. He mounted his horse and looked around.
It's a desolate place and it's quiet. It can't even grow with plants. Except for the wheezing of men and horses, there was only the howling wind.
The sound of the wind and the charred corpses in front of them immediately gave them a gloomy feeling.
Although, it is early in the morning, and the sun has risen high and warm.
