Volume 1 The Return of the Old Man Chapter 115 Which Way to Go
Master Kang was anxious, he watched these people buried in the sand digging and digging, for fear that they would dig out the green mud beads they wanted, and hesitated to rush over several times, but seeing that these people wanted the sword hanging from their waists, flashing with cold light, he couldn't help but be a little afraid.
The sand and dirt dug deeper and deeper, and more and more things were dug up, and finally, the bones were piled up, the clothes were piled up, and the weapons and armor were piled up.
The bones were thick, each one bare, without any flesh and skin, and the cold light was staggered, and it was difficult to distinguish the identity from these similar bones.
A few people were rummaging through the pile of clothes, mostly gray and abrupt bearded shorts, and some of them turned up their cuffs, and they could see the word "inner" embroidered inside, which was already a little blurry.
The hearts of several people sank, and they turned their heads to turn over the weapons and armor.
If you want to say that the easiest to identify the identity, it is to start with the weapon, the forging pattern and system, and even the mark, after careful comparison, you can distinguish who owns this weapon.
This pile of weapons is extremely large, there are thousands of pieces, it seems that the weapons in the baggage team are all in this place, although it is covered with dust, but under the sun, the cold light is still dazzling.
Several people turned their heads in their weapons, their faces gloomy and frightening.
Meng Sui held one of the big knives and said in a deep voice: "Childe, this is the internal security department, and the handle of the knife is engraved with a Yang character." ”
Gu Chen walked over with a stack of swords, threw them to the ground with a bang, smashed sand and dirt, and his voice was muffled: "Childe, these are all from the Internal Security Division, and the standard patterns can be distinguished." ”
Yao Jiti slipped a few crossbows and threw them to the ground: "Childe, these are the crossbows of the military department." ”
Seeing these things, several people's hearts were very heavy.
The baggage team has been missing for so long, and the result of losing their lives is what they expected, but they still can't accept it from the bottom of their hearts when they really see this result happening.
Death is the same end, and being mentally prepared and accepting everything calmly are two different things.
It is difficult to accept that colleagues who once fought side by side will turn into white bones in front of them and never see each other again.
Han Changdui also had more heartache, but the more he pained, the calmer he became, his expression was indifferent, he didn't see the slightest ripple, and his clear eyes were as deep as an ancient well and as quiet as stagnant water.
He turned his head to look at Helian Wenyuan, did not hide his low voice, and deliberately commanded loudly, scaring and threatening Kang's surnamed Sabao and his party: "Brother Helian, please be with these two military masters, look at Master Kang and them, don't let them get close, let alone leave." ”
Helian Wenyuan was stunned for a long time, listening to Meng Sui and a few of them, one time from the military department, and another from the internal security department, he was a smart person, and he saw a trace of clarity from the clouds.
The disappearance of the baggage team that escorted the military salaries and the change of guard map was a secret from the DPRK and China, but it did not become a real secret.
After all, there are too many people who handle it, and if one person leaks a little, rumors are flying all over the sky.
Helian Wenyuan is a horse guide, but he is not an ordinary horse guide, he also heard about this, he pursed his lips, it seems that they are from the imperial court, and they are here to find a baggage convoy.
This matter is too big for him to hear, and if he hears too much, he is afraid that he will lose his life.
He nodded hurriedly: "Okay, don't worry, Childe, I will never let them get close by half a step, let alone let them leave." As he spoke, he clenched his waist and slowly retreated in front of Master Kang and his party, holding back his curiosity, turning his head away, trying not to look at Yao Qi and them digging sand.
The two heralds were sent by Xu Xiangli, and when they came, they said very clearly, they would do whatever Han Changdui said.
They behaved more simply and rudely, and without saying a word, they stood in front of Master Kang and his party, and the big knife was horizontal, which made people tremble.
Master Kang and the others were too close, even though Han Changdui and they had already lowered their voices extraordinarily, but there was a dead silence in this Golden Bowl Valley, and the sound of the conversation still passed as if nothing was there.
Master Kang and Escort Li looked at each other in horror, and an ominous thought appeared in their hearts at the same time.
These people don't kill people.
Killing a person in Moheyan, no, killing a group of people, and being buried by the wind and sand, is also difficult to be discovered.
But now I can't run.
Han Changdui stared at the sand pit that had been dug deeply, and asked in a deep voice, "Didn't you see the baggage truck?" ”
Meng Sui shook his head: "No." ”
Yao Qi said: "Childe, there are so many baggage trucks, no more than these corpses, this sand pit can't be buried." ”
Han Changwan nodded: "Maybe the rut marks left in the sea were left by other people who took away the baggage car." ”
Wang Xian thought for a while, and said: "Childe, there is something strange about this, the baggage truck is empty, so what are you going to take it for, rushing with the empty baggage truck in Mohe Yanyan is completely a burden." ”
Gu Chen stared into the distance, his eyes narrowed slightly: "Childe, the empty rut mark may also be someone suspicious." He stretched out his hand and tapped the ground: "Leave an empty rut mark here, and after leaving the Golden Bowl Valley, put the silver back and take it all the way, leaving no trace." ”
Han Changwan waved his hand, called Helian Wenyuan over, and asked softly, "Brother Helian, do you know where the rut mark leads." ”
Helian Wenyuan looked at Han Changdui at this time, although it was still that face, but in his eyes, it was no different from an evil ghost, he couldn't restrain his heart from beating in shock, calmed down, and realized that he had come all the way, and there was no place to be wrong with them, so he really didn't need to be afraid, so he said calmly: "It's going in the direction of Gaochangguo." ”
Han Changdu's eyes narrowed, Gao Changguo and Qiuci were very different, but according to the news he had found out before, it was Yang Youzi who colluded with the people of Qiuci and robbed the salary, but why did the rut mark finally lead to Gaochang Kingdom.
Whether it was a deliberate cover-up by the person who robbed the silver, or whether it was someone else who robbed the silver?
He thought for a moment, and instructed Meng Suiqi and the others to continue digging the sand pit to see if there would be any other discoveries, so he asked Helian Wenyuan to walk away with him, and explained his purpose and discernment: "Brother Helian, the matter has come to this, and I will no longer hide it, but what I said to you today, I hope you don't want to spread it." ”
Helian Wenyuan wanted to cover his ears and not listen, telling Han Changdui that he didn't want to hear anything, and just wanted to be a dutiful ostrich guide.
But his mouth was obviously faster than his brain, and he nodded seriously, so he almost raised his hand and cursed and swore: "Don't worry, Childe, I will never tell anyone." ”
Han Changdui said calmly: "Our group of people went to Hexi to investigate the loss of the silver in detail by the secret order of the sage, and we found out that the place where the baggage truck finally appeared was in Mohe Yanmo, so we ventured here, and now it seems that the direction of the investigation is not wrong, but the follow-up matter is going to change a little." ”
Helian Wenyuan guessed some, although it was not exhaustive, but it was almost the same, he didn't show too much surprise, and nodded: "If the prince has anything, just tell me, although I am just a small common man, but serving the country is the duty of my people, and when the border is stable, our life will be better." ”
Han Changwan smiled and continued: "Now that the remains of the soldiers of the original escort baggage team have been discovered, we will divide into two teams, one team will escort the remains back to the Fifth Beacon for temporary storage, and the other team will continue to track down the direction in which the rut disappeared. ”
Helian Wenyuan pursed his lips and didn't say anything, listening to Han Changdui continue.
Han Changwan frowned slightly: "I want to ask Brother Helian whether he is willing to follow the team that continues to track down as a guide, or the team that is willing to follow the team that escorts the remains back to the Fifth Beacon." ”
Helian Wenyuan froze for a while.
Han Changwan said frankly: "Brother Helian, I can't guarantee that none of my people have done anything in detail, so what we found today is very likely to alarm each other. ”
"So, no matter which team you follow, there is always a danger." Helian Wenyuan smiled slightly, interrupted Han Changdu's words, and said calmly: "Childe, everyone is afraid of death, and so am I, but I will never drag Childe back, I will obey Childe's orders." ”
Han Changwan thought for a moment: "Then, Brother Helian will follow me, where I go, you will go." ”
Helian Wenyuan smiled: "Okay." ”
After saying this, Meng Suiqi and the others had already dug the sand pit extremely deep, but except for digging out a few scattered bones, they found nothing.
Han Changdui stood with his hands in his hands, quietly looking at these amazing things, thinking carefully before he said slowly: "Meng Sui, you take Gu Chen, Wang Xian and Chen Qi, as well as the two heralds, to continue to track down the direction where the rut disappeared, and remember to leave marks along the way." ”
Meng Sui nodded heavily, and should claim that it was.
Han Changdui continued to instruct Yao Qi: "Ah Qi, you and Helian Wenyuan will follow me to escort these bones back to the Fifth Beacon for temporary storage, and then follow the mark to meet with Meng Sui. ”
Yao Qi smiled and nodded his head without hesitation.
Han Changdui arranged the follow-up matters, and swept over Master Kang and the others with heavy eyes.
The cold eyes were like sharp knives, forcing Master Kang to take a step back with a shudder.
He saluted Han Changdui from afar, and said humbly and tremblingly: "Han, Han Gongzi, you, don't worry, I, I will never talk nonsense." ”
Han Changwan lifted his eyelids, and suddenly asked an irrelevant gossip: "Master Kang, it seems that there are two people missing from your caravan." ”
Master Kang was stunned fiercely, and said: "Ah, yes, if Han Gongzi doesn't say it, I, I will forget." ”
Han Changdui raised his lips with a smile, and said coldly: "Master Kang, you might as well tell me what the origin of the two people who are missing." ”
Old Man Kang was stunned for a moment, he didn't know what Han Changdui meant by asking this, but as long as he could divert this person's murderous intent, he had nothing he couldn't say.
