"Big brother...... Emperor Tong grinned and said, "It seems that that bastard of the Son of Heaven didn't want us to get the pill so easily, and deliberately set up obstacles for us."

"Whatever."

Ye Liang said lightly, "Let's go to the scene first and see."

……

……

The two borrowed a car from Wang Chusheng, and originally wanted to go to the scene to see it by themselves.

Unexpectedly, Wang Chusheng was a lot older, but he insisted on being a coachman for Ye Liang.

Ye Liang had no choice but to obey him, so Wang Chusheng drove the car and the three of them went to the mouth of the Sujiang River together.

The drive was very far, so Wang Chusheng drove all the way, introducing the history of Sujiang City and the history of the Wang family.

"Actually, many years ago, our Su Jiangcheng also had a top powerhouse named Li Gang, who was good at using swords."

"Legend has it that when there was an invasion of foreign enemies, he blocked thousands of troops with one man and one sword, and defeated the enemy in just three moves."

"After that, the Son of Heaven at that time named him the King of Sujiang, and he was beautiful for a while, but unfortunately he was later killed by a female cadre, who framed him for betraying the Son of Heaven Palace, and the whole family was confiscated."

Wang Chusheng said with a sigh.

The Tong Emperor frowned and said, "There's something wrong with this story, right? You said this Li Gang, why have I never heard of it?"

"And if he, a strong man with three swords and a thousand armies, wants to leave, who can stop him in the Son of Heaven Palace?"

"The Temple of the Son of Heaven at that time was not the same as it is today."

This time, it was Ye Liang who answered his question.

"In the past, they were the number one talker in the Dragon Kingdom, and no one or force could compete with them, but in recent years, the Temple of the Son of Heaven has gradually declined, and the northern border has gradually become stronger, so it seems that they do not have the ruling power they had back then."

Wang Chusheng nodded and said, "This is indeed the case, so the current foundation of the Son of Heaven Hall is still not to be underestimated, which is also the reason why we, the great clans, have never dared to oppose them."

"I have also read the history of King Sujiang."

Ye Liang said with a smile, "That was fifty years ago, speaking of which, King Su Jiang was only in his thirties at that time, and there was still a possibility of being alive."

"Wasn't your house raided?" Wang Chusheng asked suspiciously.

"Who knows?" Ye Liang smiled and said, "That was fifty years ago, when that fire burned down the entire Sujiang Palace."

"The so-called copying of the family and killing the head is just a line recorded in the history books, whether it is true or not, only people of that era know it."

"That's right."

Wang Chusheng nodded thoughtfully:

"It's a pity that after the death of King Su Jiang, it soon ushered in a big battle with the Red Family Taihu Kingdom, and the masters at that time suffered countless casualties, and it was difficult to find out the truth of the year as time passed."

"Maybe King Su Jiang is still alive now, or the descendants of King Su Jiang."

Ye Liang said with a smile, "Is there a possibility that their descendants have cultivated in seclusion and hidden until now, and have formed a powerful sect."

"They are the ones who robbed us of our second-grade elixir?"

As soon as this remark came out.

The two pairs of eyes in the car looked at each other at the same time.

"No...... Unlikely......

"yes...... That's not a reasonable guess......

"Hahahaha...... Ye Liang laughed heartily a few times and said, "I'm just joking, of course there is no such possibility."

"Cut ......," the Tong Emperor pouted, "I thought we were going to make some major discoveries."

"That's right......"

Wang Chusheng also sweated and said, "As a native of Sujiang City, I have always admired Lord Sujiang Wang."

The three of them chatted.

Soon they arrived at their destination and stopped two or three kilometers away from the mouth of the Sujiang River.

There is no road ahead.

They could only walk over it, bypassing a long mountain road and entering a bamboo forest

In the middle and back, there is the sound of a waterfall in front of me.

"Big Brother...... That's what is written in the case file!"

Emperor Tong said.

Really.

They hadn't gone far before a huge broken tree appeared in front of them, about the thickness of two or three people embracing.

Ye Liang frowned and looked forward.

As far as the eye can see, there are broken trees.

There is a clear dividing line in the forest, and here it is still a forest full of life and dense foliage.

Over there, it was desolate, like ruins.

Wang Chusheng looked at this scene in surprise and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"There's really been a fierce battle here."

Emperor Tong frowned and said, "It doesn't look like it's acting."

"That's true." Ye Liang frowned and analyzed: "Judging from the traces at the scene, there is nothing wrong with what the dossier says, that Battle Supreme of the Son of Heaven Hall has indeed lost his combat ability before he has been fighting for long."

"What then?"

Emperor Tong spread out his hands and said, "This is the same as what is written in the dossier, which means that it is difficult for us to find any clues."

"Not necessarily."

Ye Liang frowned and looked for it little by little.

Suddenly.

His eyes caught something, and he trotted over to a broken log, looking at the ground.

Seeing this, Emperor Tong and Wang Chusheng also ran over.

I saw that on the mud ground as far as Ye Liang's eyes could see, there was a mark more than ten centimeters long and more than ten centimeters wide.

"This is ......" Wang Chusheng frowned and said, "What is this mark left by something...... It doesn't look like a footprint!"

"Not footprints, indeed." Emperor Tong grinned and said, "This is a trouser print!"

"What?" Wang Chusheng's eyes widened.

Ye Liang pointed to the edge of the seal on the ground, a slightly protruding place.

"If I'm not mistaken, this is a pair of cargo pants."

"Because the pockets of cargo pants tend to be very large, they tend to make larger mud marks, and here it is."

When Wang Chusheng heard this, he nodded again and again, and frowned again, "Since it is a trouser print, why are there no other traces such as slap prints near here?"

"In addition to lying on your stomach, what other posture can make such a trace?"

"It's lying on your stomach." Ye Liang stood up and said, "Look at the place where this trouser print is located, the ground is higher, and the soil is obviously drier than the front here."

Hear this.

Wang Chusheng involuntarily looked at the river next to him, his eyes shrank slightly, and he suddenly figured it out.

"It's a rising tide!"

"The tide rises every day, so the traces of the handprints are washed away, but because the location of the pants prints is high, the water can't wash them up, so the pants prints remain!"

"You're not too stupid." Emperor Tong grinned:

"Nine times out of ten, the trouser print was left by the Battle Supreme of the Son of Heaven Palace, and he didn't die immediately after the battle!"

"Presumably, after the group of pillasters left, he walked along the river, and the ebb and flow of the tide washed away his footprints, so there was nothing left."
