Chapter 22: The Unicorn Tiger
Chapter 22: The One-Horned Tiger
......
Having said that, Lei Qing is not a brainchild who likes to find nothing to smoke. Immediately, he didn't mention the destruction of the corpse, and he did a lot of doubts with Zuo Qianqian, so that people didn't know that the one-eyed dragon had hung up. When he returned to the cottage and dismissed the women, he also lied that the one-eyed dragon was targeted by a master to take his surname, and fled with his henchmen. Saying so may have made the poor women tremble and tremble, but it was better than telling them the truth.
At the same time, Lei Qing's severance pay was also doubled. Tell them not to go home for the time being, but to put on makeup, go to the homes of relatives and friends far away from home to avoid the limelight, and come back when things fade.
When those women asked about Engong's name and wanted to go back to set up the immortal tablet, Lei Qing also casually pulled a name and confused it.
Finally, after everyone has been dismissed. Lei Qing piled up the corpses in one place, and burned the broken cottage with a fire.
After destroying the corpses and destroying the traces, Lei Qing and Zuo Qianqian also went all the way to the mountain.
In this way, the practice of spreading suspicions, plus some traces of destruction. If you want to completely hide the thorough investigation of that secret magnate, it will definitely not work. But at least, it can be delayed for a while. By then, if everything had gone well, Lei Qing and Zuo Qianqian would have already gone to the other side of the mountain range.
In addition, Zuo Qianqian also had a bad idea to ask Lei Qing to write a letter to that Raush Ziyu Shanshan to explain these situations. This is something Lei Qing is extremely reluctant to do, but after Zuo Qianqian's analysis, he also had to come down.
Zuo Qianqian made a lot of sense. Although Yu Shanshan is Lei Qing's enemy, her identity is Yu Tianji's daughter who is above 10,000 people under the Tianlan Empire. According to Yu Tianji's identity, I am afraid it will be difficult to engage in smuggling or betrayal of the country. And even if Yu Shanshan has a grudge against Lei Qing, she will not joke about such an important national event, and she will definitely stab Yu Tianji.
And once Yu Tianji learns about this, he will definitely mobilize his power to investigate this matter. Even if you can't find out the powerful figure who smuggled and betrayed the country, at least you can make a lot of noise. Let that powerful person not dare to act rashly, lest he be burned. Even if he wants to investigate, he will have a lot of scruples and dare not be blatant.
Under this reasoning, Lei Qing naturally had to agree. What's more, although he had some grievances with Yu Shanshan before this. But Yu Tianji has not burned this fire to the Lei family so far. And the Lei family has also been in the Tianlan Empire for generations, and the interests of the Manchu family for generations are tied to the Tianlan Empire.
Lei Qing also grew up in the Tianlan Empire since he was a child, and he may not usually have much feeling for his motherland. However, once it comes to something detrimental to the interests and safety of the country, Lei Qing is somewhat obliged. After all, as a member of the Tianlan Empire, Lei Qing did not want his country to be calculated and bullied by other countries, both in terms of identity and emotion.
The only small question is how to get the letter into Yu Shanshan's hands. Fortunately, it wasn't too difficult, and I found a hunter with a good reputation nearby who seemed to have wandered outside. gave some money and asked him to help send it to Yanjing. The Orion was reluctant at first, but heard Lei Qing say that they had just exterminated the One-Eyed Dragon and the Scar Old Wolf, and had done two harms to the neighborhood. Immediately, the Orion promised with his surname that it would be delivered.
Of course, how could an ordinary person walk through the door of the cabinet chief assistant and hand over this letter to Yu Shanshan? But Lei Qing gave the hunter a plan, and he only had to talk to the porter to see Yu Shanshan immediately. And although Yu Shanshan hates Lei Qing, with her status and status, of course, it is impossible to embarrass a messenger who has nothing to do with Lei Qing.
Although Lei Qing is not completely sure, this letter will definitely be delivered to Yu Shanshan, and there is no guarantee that things will go according to his own ideas. But he can only do his best and obey the fate of God.
Then, Lei Qing and Zuo Qianqian quickly hit the road. Every time you delay here, you will be in more danger.
The target of this trip is naturally the Freedom Alliance on the other side of the Tianji Mountain Range.
The Tianji Mountain Range, which belongs to the natural barrier between the Tianlan Empire and the Freedom Alliance, only in the middle of the position, has spent countless manpower and material resources, and in the narrowest part of the mountain range, along the mountain and the natural cliffs, a passage has been carved out, called the Tianji Corridor.
The corridor of the heavenly ridge, is also one of the famous grandeurs on the mainland, the cliffs on both sides of the bank are towering, such as cutting the knife and cutting the axe, turning and turning to stretch for hundreds of miles, looking down from the air, it is like a giant dragon lying horizontally with teeth and claws, it is called a majestic view.
If you want to go to the Freedom Alliance, it is safest and most comfortable to take the Skyridge Corridor. But as the border between the two countries, it is full of sentry posts and is heavily guarded. A distance of 100 miles, that is, there are four seats even in the pass. With Lei Qing's identity now being so worried about Yu Shanshan, it is impossible to say that she has already sent someone to guard the pass of the Tianji Corridor and wait for the rabbit.
Fortunately, the entire Tianji Mountain Range winds for thousands of miles, and there are many places that can be crossed by small groups of people and horses. Of course, the risk factor is also very large. Every year, I don't know how many smugglers, or fugitives, try to cross the Tianji Mountains, and the result is all kinds of deaths. Something that accidentally fell to death, was poisoned by miasma, and there were also avalanches and mountain cracks and died. But more often than not, they died in the mouths of various monsters and poisonous insects.
Even if a powerful master wants to cross, he has to weigh it to see if it's worth it.
......
Lianyun Peak is a steep mountain nearby, the mountain is extremely high, and part of it has risen among the clouds, hence the name of the peak. In addition, because of the peculiar geography, it is like a place where lightning and thunder are drawn from the top of the mountain.
One of the famous three pests within a radius of hundreds of miles nearby, the one-horned tiger is located here. Compared to the one-eyed dragons, the one-horned tigers are less harmful to the nearby mountain villages. Only occasionally when the belly is extremely hungry will they venture down the mountain and drag away some livestock or human hunger.
But the fact that the harm is less does not mean that the unicorn is easy to deal with. On the contrary, the unicorn tiger is the most difficult of the three evils to deal with.
Even if the tiger is not a monster, it is also a fierce beast at the high end of nature's food chain. Once you accept the baptism of time, after gradually growing into a demon beast, you will be even stronger. All kinds of instincts, strengths, and intellects will explode.
There were many hunters in a radius of thousands of miles, as well as the strong people who passed by, who once wanted to deal with the one-horned tiger. However, they all misjudged the strength of the unicorn. Although the one-horned tiger is only a bronze mid-level strength, the tiger is a demon beast, and it is very powerful.
Those who are less visited are either eaten or don't even find out where the one-horned tiger is. And once the crowd goes up the mountain to encircle and suppress, the one-horned tiger will cunningly hibernate and wait for the limelight to pass, and then come out to commit murder.
Lei Qing wants to deal with the unicorn tiger this time, firstly, he will easily eliminate another harm for the neighborhood, which can be regarded as a complete elimination of evil. Second, the unicorn tiger is a thunder-based demon beast, and the thunder-based demon beast crystal nucleus is what Lei Qing needs. Now, his cultivation has been stabilized at the bronze high level. There is such a good quality thunder demon beast crystal nucleus, I can't tell when I will encounter a bottleneck, I can use it to rush. If you're lucky, you might have a chance to go one step further.
Hunting demon beasts is also a huge and specialized science, Lei Qing originally knew almost nothing about it, hundreds of miles around Yanjing, there are no fierce beasts for you to hunt at all. At most, it's a group of people who don't know what to call it, going out to shoot rabbits and pheasants and other gadgets, but more purpose, I'm afraid it's to coax girls.
Lei Qing doesn't understand, but it doesn't mean that Zuo Qianqian doesn't understand. Zuo Qianqian has grown up in a mountain village since she was a child, and she will start to set rabbits at the age of seven or eight, and she has hunted a lot of various fierce beasts, and recently she has also played the idea of a scar-headed wolf.
Naturally, she also knew a lot about the fierce beast of Lian Yunfeng, but she was not sure and didn't dare to start. In this way, there is Zuo Qianqian, a hunting master, plus Lei Qing, a high force value. The two of them work together perfectly.
Lianyun Mountain, the more you go up, the colder it gets, and Lei Qing is also wrapped in a wolf skin jacket on his body. This leather jacket is made from the scar-headed wolf. After being tanned by the ingenious Zuo Qianqian, the leather jacket was sewn out with stitches and threads. The scar-headed wolf, which is as strong as a calf, has a rich cortex and is excellent for keeping out the cold. Because of the many skins, Zuo Qianqian sewed two pieces, one large and one small.
Suddenly, Zuo Qianqian whispered, squatted down to check some footprints on the snow, and whispered: "Brother Lei, these footprints are very fresh, and the one-horned tiger is afraid that it is nearby." ”
