Chapter 91: The Death of Wu Orion
"Two nobles, the small ones in the vicinity have been searched, and there are no signs of Wu Orion, and they are ......"
The withered yellow grass trampled on the snow and grew wildly, covering the road into the mountain, and it was barren, desolate, and lonely.
The little eyes of the slightly wealthy Wang surnamed Orion looked around tremblingly, and then he said respectfully to the two young men beside him.
"Don't be polite, I'll have to trouble you next!"
The delicate Shi Xiu was like a warm sun, smiled and persuaded him not to be polite, and asked suspiciously, "It's strange, why is there no clue when I just entered the mountain?" ”
"Could it be that there are too many weeds and they are hidden?"
"Got it checked? Well? ”
Behind Shi Xiu in the warm sun was Pang Wanchun, who was like ten thousand years of ice, he frowned, looked at a large patch of wild grass growing in front of him, and asked in a cold wind.
Wang Orion couldn't help but shudder, and almost knelt down, but was stabilized by Shi Xiu, and he hurriedly bowed down and answered.
"Don't dare, noble, the little one doesn't dare to hide anything, I've already searched it very seriously, it's just ......"
After he finished speaking, he shuddered and handed Shi Xiu a knife, not daring to look at Pang Wanchun.
"Huh? This is ......" Shi Xiu took the knife and looked at Wang Orion suspiciously.
This is a very ordinary knife, estimated to be a rough short knife hammered by the village blacksmith.
The black and steep blade, the handle is carefully wound with coarse cloth strips, and it can be seen that its original owner cherishes it, but at this time it has been soaked in blood, showing black and even more shabby.
"Alas~ This is his life-saving knife, the last life-saving means......"
Wang Orion looked at the black short knife and said with some sadness.
"I have been friends with Lao Wu for many years, and Lao Wu once told me that he has encountered many life and death situations, and he has survived by relying on it, and he has always regarded it as a treasure, and he will not leave ......it easily."
"But I was in the grass just now, and I accidentally found this short knife, but I'm afraid that he is now more than lucky."
"Lao Wang, on the bright side, maybe this is what happened to Wu Orion, so he lost his short knife, you can look for it again......"
Although Shi Xiu was so relieved to the sad old Wang, he had already prepared for the worst and said to Pang Wanchun, who had a cold face.
"Ice cubes, Wu Orion's clue is probably broken, and we have to rely on ourselves next."
"This group of people is not simple, I'm afraid that if it goes on like this, it will startle the snake......"
"Break it! Let's hit it hard! ”
"Huh~"
Pang Wanchun's brows were as sharp as a cold knife, he waved his hand back, standing behind him neatly with bows and arrows on his back, and the dark blue archers in flowing blue suits dismounted in unison, and quickly dispersed into the wild grass.
"That's right, ice cubes, the blue archers have been trained to such an extent, and the order is forbidden, just like a person, hey~ Compared to the white horse of the Three Kingdoms, it is not inferior."
Shi Xiu praised the training results of the heavy bow rider in a sour tone, and was directly counterattacked by Pang Wanchun.
"It's so powerful, it's stronger than the local soldiers in the county government, no, no, it's more elite than the Great Song army."
Even Lao Wang, who was sad for Wu Orion, was amazed by their neat skills, and constantly compared them with the most powerful Great Song Dynasty bandit army he had encountered.
What he admired the most was probably the gorgeous longbow behind those people.
These bows are so good, they're big and strong, and I guess they won't have much trouble fighting big worms. ’
Lao Wang swallowed his saliva, looked at it for a while, and quickly withdrew his gaze and lowered his head.
It was because he once saw a person who was beaten half-naked just by just looking at the rich man's carriage a few more times, and the wails at that time always reminded him not to be greedy.
"Owner of the village, there is a discovery here."
An archer came out of the barren grass in the distance and shouted to Pang Wanchun.
When Pang Wanchun heard this, he held the big bow behind him and rushed over.
"Wait for me, Bing Cube," Shi Xiu shouted and hurriedly followed.
"The owner of the village, there is a corpse here, although he is wearing a tiger skin Orion costume, but he is still not sure that he is the Wu Orion we are looking for......"
"From the general indication, he has been dead for a few days......"
A headless corpse lay silently on the snow against the fallen weeds, and the Orion's hunting tools were scattered around.
However, the strange thing was that there was not a trace of blood around the corpse, even the Orion suit sewn from tiger skin on his body, except for the head of the person on the neck.
"Damn!"
Shi Xiu looked at such a strange situation, and really couldn't understand how he was killed, and there was no trace of a fight around, and there was not a trace of blood.
"How did you do it......"
"This ~ Old Wu?"
"Old Wu, you go, how about letting my sister-in-law ......"
Wang Orion squeezed through the crowd, looked at it, recognized the identity of the corpse, and rushed forward, weeping sadly.
"Wait, Lao Wang, don't cry yet, how can you be sure that he is Wu Orion?"
Shi Xiu asked Wang Orion, who was sad and couldn't help himself, and then reassured.
"If he is really Wu Orion, don't worry, he works for the Xiao Mansion, and my Xiao Mansion will definitely not owe him, and I will bury him and treat his wife and children well."
"Thank you, nobleman, I was also lucky, as the noble man said, maybe the short knife was just dropped unintentionally, but ......"
"I see it now, I ......"
"I'm sure it's him, he really died, and he ended up in a miserable place."
Wang Orion sadly took off the clothes from the corpse's right shoulder, and three shocking claw marks appeared on the corpse's right shoulder.
"Look, nobleman."
"He used to escape from the claws of the great worm, so he would always show off this claw mark in front of me as glory, and now, I can't hear it anymore......"
Shi Xiu comfortingly patted the crying Wang Orion.
"Scatter around, be careful."
Pang Bing's expression became even colder, and he commanded the heavy bow horseman.
"Yes," the archers ordered.
"Obviously, someone is hiding something and doesn't want people to know." Pang Bing looked at Shi Xiu with burning eyes.
"Well, these people are so cruel, what I'm most worried about now is Xiao He's safety, can I wait until we come to save him."
Shi Xiu looked at it, and it was not very towering in front of him, but it was covered with snow hats, and they were continuous.
"According to Xiao He's secret letter, we chased here, and now Wu Orion's miserable death is already obvious."
"It's just that there are so many mountains in Prison Fengshan and they stretch so widely, it's really difficult to determine where Xiao He is, and there's not much time left for us......"
Pang Bingfang also knew this reason, and he was also anxious in his heart, but he was frozen by his usual cold look, and when he saw Lao Wang, who was sorting out Wu Orion's tools, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he walked over.
"Wang ......"
Pang Wanchun was just about to speak, but Shi Xiu asked first.
Shi Xiu also understood what Pang Wanchun meant when he saw his movements, but Pang Wanchun's indifferent temperament scared people when he was worried.
"Lao Wang, you and Wu Orion are old acquaintances, and they are also Orions here, you should know the situation in this mountain very well, Lao Wu is dead now, why don't you take us into the mountain?"
"Two nobles, this ......."
Wang Orion looked at the two of them hesitantly, and did not agree to Shi Xiu's words.
"If it's a question of wages, I'll promise you, as long as you tell us everything about the situation here, and help us save our brother, five times the reward."
Shi Xiu stared at the hesitant Wang Orion and said slowly.
"It's not...... It's not a matter of money, it's really not, it's just ......" Wang Orion seemed to be afraid of something, looking left and right, but he didn't dare to speak.
"Huh?"
Seeing that the faces of the two of them sank, Wang Orion squeezed out a sentence with a solemn expression.
"If it's not an important matter, it's better for the nobles to leave, this mountain can't be entered!"
"Oh, that's why, our brother is waiting for us to save it, it's the tiger's den, and Longtan is going to ...... too"
"Ten times ......," Pang Wanchun said coldly.
"That's it......"
Wang Orion shook his head solemnly, slammed his hand hard, gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
"The villain doesn't want a tenfold reward, as long as the nobleman provides the villain with a place in the Benzoin Flower Planting Management Association."
"Yes, it's simple, if you help us rescue our brother, I will keep you a position as the head of the Jiangning Chamber of Commerce."
Shi Xiu and Pang Wanchun looked at each other and smiled, and readily agreed, this matter was a trivial matter for them, and it might be better than five times the reward.
"Chief?! Jiangning Chamber of Commerce! ”
"Whew~Whew~"
Wang Orion couldn't help but breathe quickly, he almost felt like he had been hit by a huge pie.
Originally, I saw that they had something to do with the Benzoin Planting Management Association, so I had the courage to ask for a place, but I didn't expect that it would be a position in the Jiangning Chamber of Commerce.
The Jiangning Chamber of Commerce was proposed by Xiao He, and Xiao Qingqing realized it and developed into the largest chamber of commerce in Jiangnan.
One of the things that is staggering about the Jiangning Chamber of Commerce is that it not only ensures that food and clothing are worry-free, but also runs schools, teaches children and grandchildren to read and write, and subsidizes employees to go to Beijing to take the exam, so as to glorify the lintel.
The Benzoin Planting Management Association, although it belongs to the Jiangning Chamber of Commerce, still adheres to this.
Usually don't talk about the main thing, even an ordinary miscellaneous servant can make people grab their heads and make people envious, not to mention the main thing of the Jiangning Chamber of Commerce.
"You can say it!" Shi Xiu glanced at the stunned Wang Orion, the Jiangning Chamber of Commerce still understands the lethality of the people.
