The horses slowly advanced along the mountain road, and the silence around them was terrible.

Occasionally, a border sergeant in full armor hides in the forest, spying on secretly.

But no one came out to stop or greet the Chu River.

This is very abnormal.

Song Nian lightly beat the horse, walked side by side with Chu He, and said in a low voice: "Chu He, bring such a few people?" No problem, right? ”

According to Song Nian's thoughts, at this time, the army should be pressed and take Shanyangzhai and Helu with lightning speed.

Chu He shook his head slightly: "No...... We want to control the border army, not attack the border army. , can only outwit, not reckless. “

Song Nian nodded slightly.

Indeed, once the border army is attacked, the border army is no longer a bargaining chip in the hands of Chu He, but an internal friction. What's more, the terrain of Shanyangzhai is dangerous, even if Chu He wants to storm it, he is afraid that he will not be able to attack it.

All the way to the walled gate, Qi Wu arrogantly went up and reported.

I only heard a panic on the gate of the village, and I didn't seem to expect Chu He to come directly to the door.

A moment later, there was the sound of hurried footsteps, and then the door slowly opened.

He Lu hurriedly walked out and said again and again: "The lower official has missed the distance, and I ask Lord Chu to forgive me." ”

Chu He said lightly: "It's okay, let's go in and talk about it." ”

Horu smiled, "My lord, please! ”

After saying that, he took the lead and walked in.

Between the two, although there was no verbal exchange, everyone around them felt the tension between the two.

Song Nian was silent. Holu is just the chief general of Mikawaguchi, and he is temporarily the chief general. His grade is too much inferior to Chu He, what qualifications does he have to "saber rattling" with Chu He?

More than thirty black-armored soldiers proudly followed behind Chu He and walked in.

After entering the walled gate, they dispersed in all directions, faintly confronting the surrounding border troops.

In the face of the arrogance of the Black Armor Army, Song Nian thought that these border soldiers, who were extremely lazy on weekdays, would automatically retreat. Unexpectedly, these border soldiers were forced by the momentum of the black armor army, and they actually pressed the handle of the knife one by one.

"What for! Put all the knives away for me! Seeing this, He Lu suddenly rebuked angrily: "In your eyes, is there still me!" ”

Only then did these border soldiers put away their knives stupidly, but they still looked at Qi Wu and the others fiercely.

"Get out! Get out of here! Don't stay here as an eyesore! He Lu waved his hand impatiently, and these border troops retreated one by one.

Chu He smiled: "Where did General He recruit such arrogant generals?" ”

He Lu smiled: "No one in the world knows that the Black Armor Army is the real proud general. ”

The two of them exchanged polite expressions, and had already walked into the hall.

He Lu pointed to the bright moon above his head and said with a smile: "The moon is bright tonight, I don't know if Lord Chu is interested, how many glasses of wine?" ”

Chu He narrowed his eyes.

When he returned from the clouds, Holo did not come to the barracks to see him as he had done before, and something was wrong.

And Chu He came to the door, He Lu was not in a hurry, and he still had the leisure to drink with him?

However, this is also in the hands of Chu He.

He said lightly: "It's okay, just drink a few glasses of wine." ”

The two of them sat down in the empty lobby, and Holo himself went to fetch the wine warmer.

Chu He glanced at it, it was not Xue Hu's luxurious wine utensils in the past, it was just an extremely simple brazier with a clay pot on it.

"Why are you so frugal?" Chu He asked lightly.

"I'm not as wealthy as Lord Xue Hu." Holu smiled, lit the brazier, and put a bottle of wine in the clay pot.

Song Nian sat next to him, quietly watching the two of them talk gently and gently.

"Oh, really?" Chu He glanced around and asked lightly, "What about the shopkeeper of the Wang family before?" ”

Originally, when Xue Hu was there, there was Mr. Wu, a Hui merchant, as well as the master of the Wang family, and the old Ba Ri'er of Hu Shang.

Mr. Wu was seriously injured and returned to the south to recuperate, while Lao Ba Ri'er was killed by Chu He himself in the clouds.

"Master Wang?" He Lu smiled: "He has been in poor health for the past few days and is resting. Why, Lord Chu has something to do with him. ”

Chu He said lightly: "A few days ago, I went to Jiuyuan Mansion City once to deal with the affairs of the Wang family. But there are still some things I want to ask him. ”

Holu's face changed slightly.

Song Nian sighed in his heart. Chu He went to Jiuyuan Mansion once, and he brought dozens of people. But when he returned, the news spread throughout the borderlands. Wang Jia...... It no longer exists.

Whoever hears this kind of thing will have a change in his face.

"I'll have someone call him."

After saying this, Holu walked out of the hall, waved a soldier, and whispered a few words.

Immediately the soldier turned and disappeared into the darkness.

Song Nian glanced at it curiously, and suddenly found an abnormality.

She leaned into Chu He's ear and whispered, "What about Qi Wu?" ”

Qi Wu and more than 30 of them were originally guarding the courtyard, but at this time there was no trace.

Chu He said lightly: "Otherwise, why should I leave He Lu here to drink." ”

Song Nian smiled bitterly.

Well, she was still thinking about how to take Helu, and on the other side of the Chu River, she had already started to act.

He Lu walked back and said with a smile: "I asked this soldier to call Master Wang to come over." ”

Then, he smiled apologetically: "Master Wang...... Recently, he has been in a very bad mood, and he doesn't need his help in the village, so he rarely comes out. ”

Song Nian nodded sympathetically.

The huge Wang family, the strong dependence, and the strong background of Master Wang's rampant battle...... Say it and it will fall.

This is replaced by a myocardial infarction for everyone.

It's just that after waiting for a long time, Chu He and He Lu drank half of the pot of wine, and Master Wang still didn't show up.

Chu He and He Lu were not in a hurry or impatient, but Song Nian couldn't wait any longer, and simply asked, "Master Wang, is he okay?" ”

He Lu smiled: "Master Song doesn't have to worry, what can happen in the barracks and in the barracks?" ”

But at this moment, a soldier walked up anxiously and waved his hand repeatedly.

He Lu was stunned for a moment, and hurried over.

The soldier muttered a few words in Horu's ear. He Lu was smiling, but suddenly his face changed, at first amused, then surprised.

After a few moments, he waved the soldier away.

Then, he walked into the lobby and said with a wry smile: "Master Wang, it seems that something has happened." ”

He Lu's face was not a little sad, Song Nian knew that this was probably because He Lu's style was completely opposite to Xue Hu, and he was afraid that he would not get along well with Master Wang, not to mention that the Wang family had fallen.

He Lu looked at Song Nian and said solemnly: "Master Wang's death is strange, and he also asked Master Song to help with the autopsy. ”

Song Nian was stunned.

Holu, do you know that the comer is not good?

It's all this work? You're still asking me to help you do an autopsy and solve the case?

This heart is too big!
