Chapter 4: Murder in the Jungle
With a single eye, the person in the tent sat sideways on the red carpet, his face facing inward, and the green silk hanging down behind him, which formed a sharp contrast with the snow-white brocade dress on his body.
"Someone, freshen her up and send her to the palace!" He gave orders coldly in a routine tone.
The two palace maids lowered their heads when they heard the sound and cautiously entered the tent.
In the tent, the scarlet lips were indescribably sexy, and the corners of his mouth inadvertently rose slightly when he heard the news outside. The palace maid was about to remove the light veil around her neck for her, but was stopped in time by her snow-white slender hand.
"Ahem... The lord of this county has been suffering from typhoid fever for several days, and his throat is uncomfortable, so he uses this to keep out the cold. ”
The two palace maids glanced at each other, they didn't know the emperor's attitude towards this county lord, and they didn't dare to be presumptuous just by virtue of this stunning appearance.
In less than a cup of tea, all the soldiers in the barracks stood in a neat queue as fast as they could, solemnly waiting for Ji Wuyu's order.
Suddenly, someone from among the soldiers reported.
"Tell the prince, Li Ergou went to the back mountain for convenience, and he hasn't come back yet! At that time, there was also a firehead army with him, and it seemed that the prince of the Southern Jin Dynasty must have changed the clothes of the firehead army and escaped! ”
"How long ago?"
"Before a stick of incense!"
The man's eyes were dark, "Search the mountain immediately, and pass on the Wang Fenghuo order to send five thousand cavalry to strictly guard the Hukou Pass, and all the personnel who pass through the customs will be strictly investigated, and once a suspicious person is found, he will be directly imprisoned in the prison!" ”
No matter how fast a person runs, where can he run in the time of a stick of incense?
What's more, the beacon fire order responds to every call, and as soon as different signals come out, even if it is a fly, don't want to escape from Daye.
In the end, only a corpse was found that had been strangled by a tree vine, needless to say, it was the big man.
Just looking at the dark purple marks on the body and neck of the big man, no one would have thought that this was done by a woman.
The dim moonlight shone on the forest path, cold and blurry. Nan Qiao glanced up at the night sky, and a few thick black shadows were added to the already unclear moonlight.
"Is this going to rain?"
She leaned against a large tree beside her and gasped, and the wind in the forest curled the leaves whirring like the wailing of a wild beast.
I was about to pass through the shade of the trees, and suddenly noticed a horse-drawn carriage parked on the main road in front of me, and there was a little spark dancing in the shadows of the trees near the carriage.
At night, any sound is easy to spread, especially the sound of human speech. There is no need for Nan Qiao to listen deliberately, it can reach the ears from afar.
"Stop, please, stop torturing our young lady!"
"Phew! A wild seed who grew up in the countryside, how can a person like you enter Nalan Mansion? ”
"Keep fighting, kill and throw down the cliff. Madame said, "If you want to go back alive, you have to skin you!" ”
"Ahh Help me! ”
The miserable cry pierced the eardrums for no reason, Nan Qiao frowned, and the hands hanging by his side were clenched into fists.
It's not that she can't save her when she sees death, but she just thinks that there are chasing soldiers behind her and saves people, so she can't run away.
After struggling for a few seconds, Nan Qiao gritted her teeth and was about to continue walking, when the miserable cry for help from the woman over there lingered.
She breathed a sigh of relief, forget it, just treat her as a good deed every day!
As soon as the step was off, Nan Qiao left the position just now, and walked straight to the spark with a swift step.
