Chapter 189: The Cave

After revealing the confession to Du Ying, although Du Ying did not show any abnormality, when Wei Mu was forced by pressure from all sides and began to order troops into the Xunlian Mountains, Xie Yan found that Du Ying was in the ranks, and he was surrounded by trusted subordinates, so he knew that Du Ying's heart was not as calm as he appeared.

Du Ying also wants to make meritorious contributions, and he also wants to be promoted.

This time into the Xunlian Mountains, the commander Wei Mu personally led the troops, and the commander Du Ying and a group of military attaches led 2,000 people into the mountains to search.

Qu Jing wanted to come with him, but was dismissed by Wei Yiwei for the reason that he needed him to take care of it temporarily.

This time into the mountain, the first is to search for the location of the cottage where the villagers of Qicai Village are located, and to exterminate it, and the second is to search for the place where the colorful beads and colorful shellfish are hidden, and confiscate them for thorough investigation.

The Xunlian Mountains stretch for thousands of miles, the terrain is complicated, even if the soldiers of the guard have experienced a much worse environment than the Xunlian Mountains, but two thousand people put in the Xunlian Mountains, still like mud cattle into the sea, divided into a group of twenty people, just like this for a few days, but did not find the slightest clue, but a few teams did not return on time, and I don't know if there was an accident, or entered the vast mountain, and could not find the place to come back.

Let the dead man who opened his mouth take them to look for it, but it was useless, the dead man himself didn't remember the road at all, he had only been here once, and he couldn't remember the location for a long time, and as soon as he entered the mountain, he couldn't find the direction.

Xie Yan found that Wei Yan didn't seem to be annoyed by this result, but felt a sense of relief.

As for the villagers of Qicai Village, Xie Yan believes that Wei Mu didn't take this matter to heart at all, so what made Wei Mu feel relieved should be the whereabouts of the disappeared seven-colored shell colorful beads.

"My lord, there is a discovery!"

Just when the guards were almost completely relaxed and ready to return in vain, this day was exactly the tenth day after they entered the mountain, and after breakfast, all the teams set out again to find the treasure hideout, the mountain bandits' den, and the two teams that had not returned.

In the middle of the morning, before the assembly, a small team of people came back early, and reported to Wei Muyu with an excited face.

Wei Mu's face changed, but because there were other officials next to him, and even two of them were staff members sent by Governor Hu, he had to suppress his emotions and asked with a straight face: "What did you find?" Say it. ”

"Yes!"

The leader of this team is none other than Guang Haiming, who answered loudly and said carefully.

"Back to the commander, the last general waited at the foot of a mountain in the southwest direction, found a few caves, the last general tried to go inside for a while, and found that the cave was dug by man, and there were vines and other plants outside to cover up, if it wasn't for the late autumn now, those plants withered and yellow and lost their leaves, the last general and so on may not have found it, the last general did not dare to go inside, for fear of encountering an ambush, leaving four people there to guard, so he immediately ran back to report to the commander."

"Then why don't you go check it out!" When Wei Mu heard the word cave, his heart fluttered and jumped rapidly, the green tendons on his forehead burst out, and his eyes stared at Guang Haiming fiercely.

Guang Haiming was frightened by Wei Mu's fierce gaze that seemed to eat people, but he thought that Wei Mu's gaze was aimed at the people in the cave, so although he was afraid, he did not react slowly because of this.

"Yes, yes, please!" Guang Haiming hurriedly led the way.

Wei Mu's eyes swept around, and now there were less than fifty people around him, except for Guang Haiming's sixteen people, the rest of the people were his personal guards except for the two staff members sent by Governor Hu and a few guards to protect the staff.

If he killed Governor Hu's people, and then killed the little lieutenant and his team who had done this bad thing in front of him, and when everyone returned, he would take them to other places, far away from here, he would not believe that he could still be found.

As for how to explain after killing these people, Wei Mo didn't think about it, he was the biggest official here, and he didn't need to think about it, and he didn't have time to think about it.

Wei Mu glanced at the captain of the personal guard beside him and motioned for him to make a move.

Yu Quanhai, the captain of the personal guards, is Wei Mu's henchman, and Wei Mu's worries are also what he is worried about, after receiving Wei Mu's eyes, he ordered all the guards around Wei Mu, "Brothers, ...... on the spot"

"Commander, we've found several caves where we already have our own people......"

Just then, a voice appeared and interrupted the captain of the guard.

When Wei Mu saw it, it was Du Ying.

Wei Mu's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he knew that he could no longer do anything about it.

After a few words with Du Ying, the group went to the cave discovered by Guang Haiming, and Guang Haiming told them again on the way about the process of discovering the cave, but he didn't know that he had already walked in the palace of Hades just now.

Xie Yan met Wei Mu and Du Ying and his party on the road, so they rushed to the cave discovered by Guang Haiming, Du Ying had already been here before, according to the time calculation, he and Guang Haiming should have arrived on the front and back feet, and he left two people and the original four people to guard here.

However, when the group reached the cave again, the scene in front of them was shocking, and the six soldiers who were left to guard were all killed, and blood was spilled all over the ground.

"This ...... This...... There was no one before! Guang Haiming said in shock.

"People are hiding in the cave." Du Ying said calmly.

"Quick, let's go into the cave and have a look!" Wei Mu ordered a few of his own personal guards.

Governor Hu's two aides glanced at each other and did not follow any more.

They were literati, and the scene in front of them made them very uncomfortable.

Wei Mu glanced at the two staff members, and saw that they didn't talk anymore, and they were much more comfortable.

Escaped?

It's good to escape! It's just that I don't know if the things have been taken away, if there are too many things, I'm afraid it can't be taken away, but hide it tightly, so that these people can't find it.

"My lord, the last general will ask to go into the cave to investigate." Guanghai Ming Dynasty Wei asked for instructions.

Four of the six soldiers killed were his men, and in any case, he wanted to get to the bottom of the situation.

Wei Yan frowned, wanting to refuse, but heard Xie Yan suddenly say: "My lord, they are all killed with one sword, cut their throats, such a technique, such martial arts, if there are still people inside, Lord Yu, they are weak, and it is too dangerous to enter the cave, let's go in with Captain Guang!"

Xie Yan had been checking the causes of death of several people before, and at this time he stepped forward to report to the guards.

Wei Yan's face was a little blue, but Xie Yan's words were reasonable, and there were people from Governor Hu next to him staring, so he had to respond, and gave Yu Quanhai a look, and when it was a last resort, these two people couldn't stay.

As for the other soldiers, they did not bring them into the cave, and according to the lethality shown by the people in the cave, ordinary soldiers who went in and encountered them were only sent to death.
