Entering the cave, the cave is quite deep, Xie Yan observed the cave wall, although the soil is not very new, but it is not long, Xie Yan dares to conclude that the existence of this cave is not more than a year. Watermark Ad Test Watermark Ad Test

In this way, this cave should not be the place where the colorful beads and seven colored shells are hidden.

The production of the seven-colored shell colorful beads has been reduced for at least two years, and before the production is reduced, the hiding place should be prepared, and it is impossible to prepare the hiding place after a year, unless the original treasure place is discovered, and they have to find another place.

However, according to the news inquired by Xie Yan and the news they got from Qu Jing, when they did this before, it had been smooth sailing, and no one investigated.

Even the imperial court, although there were many ministers who expressed doubts about the sudden reduction in the production of seven-colored shellfish and colorful beads, but Maoyuan Mansion used other things to arrive, and even Emperor Ning Kangdi himself said it.

"The treasure of the sea is not obtained by the land, and the wind and rain cannot ensure its harvest, but it is uncontrollable by manpower!"

Since the emperor said so, others naturally can't chase this matter anymore.

Although it is not excluded that some people are like him and are privately tracking, since it is a private investigation, it should not be alarmed, or even let them change places.

Therefore, it is very unlikely that this is a place to hide the colorful pearls and seven colored shells.

So where is this place?

I walked inside, and the deepest part was only a cave wider than the mountain road, without any decoration, and there were no people, but from the pots and pans placed in the cave, as well as a few clothes, and some remaining food, it can be judged that this cave was originally inhabited.

"The man should have just escaped!" Yu Quankaido, "It's too late to chase now!" ”

After coming out of the cave, Yu Quanhai reported the situation in the cave to Wei Mu, who heard that the cave was very simple and had been dug up in less than a year, and immediately relieved himself, this must not be the place to hide the colorful beads and seven colored shells.

"Don't worry, I've already sent someone to chase him, but I'm worried that that person is strong in martial arts, we are in the open and in the dark, and I don't know how many of them there are, if they meet ordinary soldiers, I don't know how many of us will be killed!"

Du Ying's words did not move Wei Mu, for the lives of ordinary soldiers, as a commander, he naturally cared, after all, if he lost too many soldiers, it would be harmful to him, Qu Jing insisted on coming, but Wei Mu was worried that the place where the colorful beads and seven colored shells were hidden would really be found by them, and he was beyond the reach of the guard, so as a commander, Qu Jing was left behind and came by himself.

He was now worried that the treasure would be discovered, so the matter of losing some of the guards would naturally be put aside.

On this day, only 1,900 of the 2,000 people remained, some did not return, and some were clearly killed, among which two soldiers escaped by chance, one seriously injured and one lightly injured.

"At that time, I only felt a gust of wind flashing behind my ears, and I touched my ears, and it was because I touched my ears that I escaped with my life, so dangerous!"

One of the lightly wounded soldiers, who had narrowly escaped, said in horror, and touched his neck as he spoke, as if to make sure that his neck was okay again.

"As I touched my ear, the wind was blowing on the back of my neck, and then there was a sharp pain in my right hand, and I immediately reacted that someone was going to kill me.

I just wanted to pull out the knife, but found that the pain in my right hand was not able to pull out the knife at all, but the gust of wind seemed to be farther away, at this time, I heard the screams of Liu Dashan next to me, I immediately reacted that the person who was going to kill me killed Liu Dashan, I endured the pain and pulled out the knife to save Liu Dashan, but the person moved too fast, and when I finally pulled out the knife, there was no trace of the person. ”

Xie Yan looked at the soldier named Wu Tian recalling what happened before, and the way his eyes rolled, he knew that what this person was telling was not the truth.

"The first half of your story is good, and the second half of your story is a lie." Xie Yan said lightly.

"My lord, I ...... I didn't! Wu Tian retorted in a panic.

"Didn't you?" Xie Yan looked at his bandaged right hand and asked, "Then why are your clothes covered with dry grass and soil, which means that you fell to the ground, you just injured your hand, why did you fall?"

"I ...... I was in so much pain, so I ...... And he fainted. ”

"Yes, then tell me why the person who killed Liu Dashan saw that you didn't die, why didn't he make up for you again, and just let you live?"

Xie Yan asked again, and without waiting for Wu Tian to think of any more quibbles, he waved his hand and said, "I know that you are afraid that you will be punished for saying that you pretend to be dead, but what you have done, you can't hide it from us."

Wu Tian, who was slightly injured, did not see the appearance of the murderer clearly, and the seriously injured soldier naturally did not see it either.

However, listening to the descriptions of these two people, Xie Yan deduced that there were only two people, one of whom was strong in martial arts, and the other was slightly weaker, among which the way and moves of the person with strong martial arts made Xie Yan somewhat familiar, and then linked to the scene he saw in Hujugang more than half a year ago, Xie Yan guessed that one of the two people who appeared should be Yu Yifeng, the head of Climbing Wind Village, and the other person should be his subordinate.

Others also speculated that the two men were mountain bandits, but they didn't know who they were.

"I heard that there are several mountain bandit nests in this Xunlian Mountain Range!" Someone said.

"The mountain bandits are so powerful in martial arts now? So what are we going to do with it? "Someone retreated.

"There are only two mountain bandits?" Some are skeptical.

No matter what the people below say, since they have met people, they have lost so many soldiers, of course, most of them should have lost their way, and they can always find out in the end, but only with these corpses seen now, in the first link of the intersection between soldiers and bandits, it is obviously better than bandits.

In this way, if they go back like this, how can they save face, and how can they talk about suppressing bandits in the future!

Now, even Wei Mu, who wants to go back and end this trip to Xunlian Mountain, can't directly say retreat.

Otherwise, where will the majesty of his commander be in the future!

So, let's keep looking, anyway, there is enough food and grass.

After searching like this for another three days, he still didn't find anything, and at this time, Wei Mu already regretted that he personally led the troops, and now he felt that he couldn't advance or retreat.

Seeing that there will be no progress, he doesn't want to make progress, but he can't open his mouth to say it back, it's really depressing.

In the past few days, Wei Mu has a black face.

"Report!" On the afternoon of the fourteenth day of entering the Xunlian Mountains, there was finally a new discovery.

It turned out that they had found Huju Gang.

In fact, since they entered the Xunlian Mountain Range, Xie Yan's main attention has been on finding the hiding place of the Colorful Stone and the Seven Colored Shells, and he naturally knows the location of the Tiger Guard, but once they find the Tiger Ridge and catch the mountain bandits inside, they must confess the location of the cottage where the villagers of the Colorful Village are located.

However, just like Xie Yan said to Song Xiaochi before, they can't be mountain bandits for a lifetime, and they can't be mountain bandits for their children and grandchildren.
