One hundred and thirty-seven miles north of Zhentianguan, the forest is dense and the mountains are high, a mountain stream gurgles by, and a few small purple flowers are swaying in the breeze, which has its own style, if you ignore the embarrassing and tragic battlefield here.

A day and eight hours had passed, and the eight corpses left at the scene had already been devoured by wild beasts, and swarms of black flies were circling, and the smell of rancid smell could be smelled hundreds of meters away.

"Returning to General Duan, we are chasing the target to this place, just when we are about to capture the target successfully, but suddenly we are attacked by an unknown attack, the enemy is very powerful, the attack is fast and ruthless, although Captain Dong ordered to retreat immediately, but we still suffered heavy casualties, and from beginning to end, we did not figure out who the enemy was, but on the way to retreat, we were attacked by dozens of savages, and then five brothers were plundered. ”

At this time, it was reported that it was supposed to be a previous survivor.

"Search the battlefield immediately, don't let go of any clues!" the lieutenant general said in a deep voice, and then bowed his hand to the Taoist priest and said respectfully: "Please also ask Dao Chang Qu to help me wait." ”

"Hmph, there's no need to search for clues, looking at the scale of this battlefield, I'm afraid that there will be cultivators who have made a move, then that's it, General Duan, take your people back, the next thing is no longer something you can participate in." And the five missing brothers under General Duan, it's best not to have any extravagant hopes, those savages are probably not real savages, but puppets controlled by the demon law, so much time has passed, even if you forcibly want to find them at any cost, I am afraid that you will not be able to return to the sky, and when the time comes, if you lose manpower because of this, it will be worth the loss. ”

The young Qu Dao Chief's face was still cold, but what he said was very polite.

Vice General Duan's expression also changed when he heard the three words cultivator, obviously he had heard of this, and he was very clear about the gap between them, so although he was dissatisfied, he still waved his hand and said neatly.

"In this case, then this mission is over, and everyone returns to the camp!"

Just this order, Zuo Qian suddenly became anxious, rushed forward and knelt down and shouted:

"General Duan, mark the courage, I am willing to search for the missing brother at any cost, and I am willing to bear all the consequences!"

"Presumptuous! Move left, is your general order a joke? Go back, otherwise the military law will be engaged!" The deputy general's face suddenly sank, and the military order was like a mountain, and there was no room for the slightest disobedience.

Zuo Qian knelt on the ground, his head bowed, and the green tendons of his right hand, which was holding the knife, burst out suddenly.

But after a second, he bowed back in silence.

"Go back to the camp!" The deputy general snorted coldly again, and was about to urge the war horse, and at this time, Mu Shao'an, who had been standing on the edge, suddenly whispered to the Taoist priest: "Daoist, do you need a guide?" I'm familiar with this place, the bandit camp in the Great Black Mountain is near here, I heard that there are a few more powerful masters in the bandits in the Great Black Mountain recently, even the darts of the Changfeng Dart Bureau were robbed a few days ago, you know, the Changfeng Dart Bureau has seventy or eighty executioners, all of them are strong in martial arts, and there are private standard bows and crossbows, hey, that volley, random arrows flying, like dark clouds, that formation, tsk!"

Although Mu Shao'an said it in a very small voice, he painted the sound and color, but had a nose and eyes, as if it was like that.

Although the Daoist Leader still maintained a look of disdain at first, when he heard the bandit camp in the Great Black Mountain, his eyes froze, but he was still very disdainful.

When he heard that there were a few more masters among the thieves in the Great Black Mountain, his eyes were fixed again, but before he could show any disdain, Mu Shao'an revealed that even seventy or eighty executioners of the Changfeng Dart Bureau had been wiped out, and this disdain suddenly became unexpressed.

When Mu Shao'an said that the Changfeng Dart Bureau still had a standard bow and crossbow in private, but it was still robbed by the Great Black Mountain bandits, even the deputy general was not calm.

That's right.

What about a cultivator? Although this Dao Leader is a handsome young man and full of self-confidence, he is probably also a newborn calf, but if he encounters a cultivator of the same realm, I am afraid that he will really be able to capture it smoothly.

But if there are still hundreds of bandits around this hostile cultivator, if these hundreds of thieves still have hundreds of standard bows and crossbows in their hands, under the random arrows, especially when there are other cultivators commanding, even if they are as proud as a long way, then they have to obediently kneel down and sing about conquest.

"It's true!"

Without waiting for the Qu Dao Commander to ask anything, the deputy general roared like a lion, he was actually very dissatisfied with such a futile return, but that Qu Dao Chang was a master sent by the Ninth Son, he was a mere deputy general, how dare he wring it?

But if the situation allows, he is also willing to prove his value as a martial arts master.

"It should be—nine become true!"

Mu Shaoan touched his nose and said a little embarrassed.

"What does it mean to become true in nine? True is true, false is false, say, have you ever seen the Great Black Mountain bandits destroy the Changfeng Dart Bureau? And I have heard of the Changfeng Dart Bureau, why didn't I get this news in Zhentianguan, but you knew it in advance?" The deputy general didn't give the Qu Dao Chief a chance to speak at all, and as soon as he asked, he left the responsibility out in advance, and when the time came, the Qu Dao Chang would not be able to start even if he was looking for trouble!

"Uh, this-"

Mu Shaoan touched his nose again, he felt that this action was simply too handsome, hey, the IQ was too high, and he couldn't help it.

When Deputy General Duan and Daoist Naqu both frowned, he pretended to be very helpless and said: "General Huiyu, Daoist Hui, in fact, I didn't see this matter with my own eyes, but I just saw some clues and fragments, so I speculated, so I didn't dare to say that ten out of ten, only dared to say that nine became true!"

"Presumptuous, you said that you didn't see it in person, but you dare to say that nine have become true, are you a three-year-old general here?"

Vice Admiral Duan was furious again, and even the Daoist Daoist frowned again, estimating that there was only one centimeter left before he brushed his sleeves away.

Mu Shaoan gave up his hand again, and said solemnly: "In fact, the robbery of the Changfeng Dart Bureau should have happened between midnight and midnight three days ago, and the place where it happened should be somewhere on a trade road from thirty to fifty miles behind us. ”

"Three days ago I was still a hunter in the mountains, when the sky was not yet bright, I set off to sell mountain goods in Hengtang Town, 65 miles away from here, but it was a coincidence that the road encountered the heroes of the Great Black Mountain to do business, just 15 miles back from us, at that time, a large dart bureau passed by, in fact, I don't know what Changfeng Dart Bureau, but I remember the flag at a glance, when I was in the town of Tianguan, I easily inquired that it belonged to the Changfeng Dart Bureau. ”

"At that time, the Changfeng Dart Bureau was not robbed by the bandits of the Great Black Mountain, in fact, they seemed to have negotiated, the Changfeng Dart Bureau used a certain price in exchange for the release of the Great Black Mountain Bandits, it would be good if the matter ended here, but then when I and a few of my companions were about to continue along the trade route to Hengtang Town, that is, about 25 miles downstream of us, I saw chaotic ruts, hoof prints of horses struggling, and some traces of extremely powerful crossbow arrows being shot intensively, of course, these crossbow arrows had been pulled out by people at that time, and only chaotic footprints were left on the ground, and even the more conspicuous blood stains were buried, so I deduced from this, The sixty or seventy people in the Changfeng Dart Bureau have all been finished, and the other party is a master, and after killing people and goods, they will burn their bodies and destroy them!"

"So it's easy to guess at this point, the things that the Changfeng Dart Bureau protects this time must be very important, or they are targeted by some powerful characters, otherwise it is impossible for the bandits in the big black mountain to do this kind of thing, because the bandits who block the road and rob are usually very trustworthy, so I can judge from this point that there must be a few very powerful characters in the bandit camp in the big black mountain, and they are also very cunning, first pretending to let them go, so that the runners of the Changfeng Dart Bureau relaxed their vigilance, and as a result, they re-set up an ambush downstream in the blink of an eye, and after several rows of dense bows and crossbows, the robbery was successful！”

"And at that time, the people led by Captain Dong to pursue the target had not yet arrived at the scene, they happened to arrive there at the same time as us, I judged that there were still people ambushed here by the startled birds on the mountain, those people were so ferocious, I didn't want to be exterminated, so I wanted to escape, but I didn't expect to make a fuss, and was chased and killed by Captain Dong, and finally I joined Zhentianguan and became the captain of the guard. That's probably the case, as for the deeper things, I don't know, and whether the ambush of Captain Dong has anything to do with this matter, I don't know, but this should be a good clue, only for the reference of General Duan and Qu Daochang. ”

After Mu Shao'an finished speaking, the Daoist was still cold, but the eyes of the deputy general kept turning, and neither of them spoke.

After a long time, Deputy General Duan turned his head and asked, "Is what he said true?"

It was the soldiers who had accompanied Dong Fan before.

"General Hui, I don't judge other things, but it's true that this is the case about us, we tracked the target all the way over the mountains and mountains, and suddenly lost the trace of the target on that trade road, at this time, but the four hunters on the trade road found the traces in advance, and actually wanted to escape, so Dong Xiaowei made a quick decision and shot a person on the spot, and later learned that this was an oolong, and Dong Xiaowei himself also recognized Wu Laosan's methods, he was indeed very keen in some aspects. ”

"Is that so?"

At this time, the deputy general Duan exchanged glances with the Qu Dao Chief, the Qu Dao Chang was young and vigorous, and the water that Fang Cai's words spilled out didn't want to be slapped in the face, let alone say that he was afraid, but this matter has become more complicated, and he can't deal with it alone, so this face and steps have to be preserved and provided by Duan Deputy Dao in the future.
