Chapter 17: The corpse must speak to me, too
In the mountains outside Xinmen Pass, men wearing short fights and fierce faces walked quickly through the mountains and forests. There were more than 100 of them, and they shuttled quickly through the rugged mountains and forests, and not a single one was left behind.
Obviously, these people are not just business buddies, they seem to have undergone special training.
From the route they traveled without hesitation, it can also be seen that these people are extremely familiar with the terrain and routes here, and it is obvious that this is not the first time they have passed through this place.
This is a secret passage mastered by the Fuxiang. You can bypass Xinkou Pass and directly arrive at the capital city - a shortcut to Jiuyuan Mansion.
Soon after, the group arrived at the bottom of a cliff. Once here, there is no way out.
This is also the reason why this secret passage was not discovered by the medicine pickers in the mountains. It's a dead end in itself.
But the man at the head whistled, and on the cliff, a bundle of resilient vines fell.
The leader took a deep breath, grabbed the vine with both hands, and climbed to the top of the cliff.
With the help of tree vines, the cliffs are not absolutely vertical, so the climb is much easier.
After a few moments, he flipped to the top of the cliff with both hands.
A strong man with a slightly reddened complexion, shirtless, sat on the edge of a cliff, as if waiting for him.
"Shopkeeper Qin, it's been a hard journey."
"It's okay, it's just that it's bad luck to encounter the requisition of the Black Armor Army." The shopkeeper Qin showed a fierce face: "This batch of goods can't be transported, our people are stared at to death, and another person has been arranged to retrieve the goods." ”
"All the cargo is not on you?" The red-faced man asked.
"Naturally, I didn't carry it with me, and you know that it is not easy to carry it on you. It's still the old rules, with sheep. Shopkeeper Qin glanced at the red-faced man in surprise.
"Where's the waist card of the palace?" The red-faced man seemed to be in charge and asked.
"In Fang Wu's hands, just wait for him to ask for it." Shopkeeper Qin said impatiently.
The red-faced man nodded slightly.
A moment later, the cliff was full of caravan men.
The red-faced man said a few more words to Fang Wu, confirming that what the shopkeeper Qin said was correct, and then asked Fang Wu to take the waist card.
"General, you really can't trust me." Shopkeeper Qin said unhappily. The two sides have cooperated for many years, how can there ever be mistakes? Today they are so vigilant.
"Shopkeeper Qin, if I can't trust you, it's really a big deal." The red-faced general said calmly.
Then, he stood aside and said to everyone, "Everyone, this time, thank you for your hard work! ”
"General, what do you mean by that?" Shopkeeper Qin had a faint sense of foreboding.
The red-faced general just said lightly: "Do it!" ”
Hundreds of people immediately rushed out behind him, wearing rattan armor and holding ash sticks, and poked at the caravan men who were standing or sitting on the top of the cliff.
His own people suddenly made a move, although these guys are also quite tough, but they are on the edge of the cliff. The other party was holding a long weapon again, and in an instant, dozens of people were pushed off the cliff by the ash rod, and the screams stopped abruptly, apparently falling to death on the spot.
The shopkeeper Qin is extraordinary, his body is short and he dodges many ash poles, and with a circle of his hands, he encircles four or five ash poles, and those rattan armor soldiers shake the gun hard, but they can't help the Qin shopkeeper.
"General! Here's why! Shopkeeper Qin shouted angrily.
"Without it, I just need you to die." After the red-faced general finished speaking, he suddenly grabbed the ash rod in the hand of a soldier and shook suddenly.
Shopkeeper Qin only felt a strong force coming from his palm, and his body couldn't help but take off.
He clung to the ash pole, but the wonderful strength was endless, and even though his hands were red, he was still thrown out resolutely and completely.
Shopkeeper Qin didn't scream.
The red-faced general stood on the edge of the cliff to check.
"My lord, I can see clearly, there are a lot of them." The soldiers around him returned.
"Hmm." The red-faced general walked to the edge of the cliff, grabbed the vine, and the muscles of his arms were raised, and suddenly with force, the tenacious vine broke and he threw him off the cliff.
Moments later, the top of the cliff was empty.
……
Song Nian, who was talking on paper, began to suffer.
The Black Armor Army scattered in the mountains and forests to find traces, and she volunteered to follow.
Then, it was very miserable to find that her official uniform really limited her play.
At the same time, the soldiers did not find the traces left by the caravan, as she expected.
Obviously, the other party is professional.
Song Nian was a little depressed. But how? So far, I can only grit my teeth and continue to search.
Seeing that the sun was gradually turning westward, Song Nian was also a little anxious.
After dark, you can't stay in the mountains.
Who knows if it will be another wolf pack...... Well, the wolves are actually not terrible, the black armor army has more people than the wolves, and the equipment is better than the wolves, so the wolves should be afraid.
The question is...... Snakes and insects and the like, there is no way to prevent them!
Song Nian felt that if he passed this level, he should develop some flower water, wind oil essence and the like. Well, these two seem to be traditional Chinese medicine? Song Nian didn't know the recipe for these two things at all.
Well, she's a substandard medical dog.
Just when Song Nian was retreating again and again, the soldiers in front came to report that there were eagles hovering in a mountain col not far away.
"Quick! Check it out! Song Nian was excited!
Next to her, Chu He glanced at her lightly.
Song Nian immediately remembered his identity, and coughed dryly: "Lord Chu, my subordinates suggest that we immediately send someone to check that mountain pass, it is very likely that it is related to the Fuxiang caravan." ”
Chu He waved his hand expressionlessly, and immediately a team of soldiers quickly shuttled towards the mountain col.
The old man looked at the terrain and looked at it from a distance, there were cliffs on three sides, and the Fuxiang was ...... It is impossible for the people of the Fuxiang to hide from this...... Such Jedi. Lin Lao was panting on the side.
Song Nian admired him very much...... 's lung capacity, at such an age, actually followed.
"Old Lin, no matter what, anyway, we don't have any clues now, so it's not a bad thing to see." Song Nian casually reassured.
"It's just a waste of soldiers' physical strength......"
Not long after Old Man Lin said this, a signal came out in front of him.
Song Nian was overjoyed in her heart, these bastards caught her and wanted to interrogate her.
However, what was waiting for Song Nian was a somewhat broken corpse that had been torn apart by the eagle.
There are many snakes, insects, rats and ants in the mountains, and these corpses are being slowly but resolutely destroyed.
"My lord, there are one hundred and thirty corpses in all." Zhao Da led people to count the corpses and said to Chu He.
Chu He squinted his eyes: "The people of the Fuxiang caravan are all here?" ”
"My lord, each of them has been remembered by his subordinates, all of them are here, one is not less!" Zhao Da said categorically.
"One...... It's a lot......" Chu He narrowed his eyes.
Again, the trails were all cut off.
"All men are dead...... But corpses, too, have to speak to me! ”
"Autopsy!"
