In the woods, the place where the corpse was originally buried had been dug up by the garrison brought by Fan Ying, and the corpse's clothes had also been stripped of its clothes, and its body was covered with fist-sized blood holes, but now that the blood had dried up, and the wounds were mixed with the dirt, it didn't look so terrifying.

"Captain Fan! This was recovered from the dead! The team leading the team into the woods bowed forward, holding a jade token in both hands and handing it to Fan Ying, then took two steps back before straightening up, and then continued to add: "We came here according to the smell of blood!" I have already checked the injuries on the deceased's body just now, and it should be caused by the bamboo gun in the trap on the official road! Therefore, it is inferred that the deceased should have fallen into the trap when he first dug the trap or after the deed was completed! And their accomplices buried them on the spot for convenience! ”

"Circulation?" Fan Ying listened to the report of the captain under his command and nodded lightly, but his eyes always stayed on the word on the token in his hand, and at the same time kept looking at the token as if he wanted to see something clue from it, but after a while, Fan Ying still gave up, handed the token in front of Cao Chen, still frowned, and asked the other party in a deep voice: "Brother Cao!" Have you ever seen this token? ”

How could Cao Chen have never seen the jade plate of the Xunzhou Gang, Cao Chen had already recognized it at a glance when Fan Ying was looking alone just now, and at the same time, his heart was beating for a while, and even his brain seemed to explode in an instant, and he didn't have any ideas in a chaotic way. It wasn't until Fan Ying opened his mouth to ask a question that Cao Chen opened his mouth, but found that his lips and throat were already dry and about to smoke, so he had to cough lightly twice, lick his dry lips a few times, and clear his throat before nodding solemnly, and then looked up at the surrounding garrisons who were retreating far away, as if their attention was not on his side at all, and then Cao Chen replied in a cautious low voice, but his voice was always trembling: "See, I've seen!" This is, it's the jade card of the Xunzhou Gang. ”

"Xunzhou Gang?" Fan Yingjian raised his eyebrows, his eyes were full of questions, and then he suddenly took a long breath of enlightenment, and asked Cao Chen with an incredible face: "What are you talking about, the Xunzhou Gang that originally relied on the Chaozhou Gang?" ”

Without waiting for Cao Chen to respond, Fan Ying seemed to strike while the iron was hot, and without waiting for Cao Chen to react, the arm holding the jade plate turned around, pointed to the corpse on the ground and continued to ask in surprise: "Then what to say!" This person turned out to be a member of the Xunzhou Gang? And the firecracker horse thief that Brother Cao said just now was done by the people of the Xunzhou Gang? ”

"Yes, yes. But, but... Almost all the way under Fan Ying's guidance, Cao Chen subconsciously nodded and agreed with the other party's statement, but after thinking about it, he felt a little wrong, and always thought that even if Leper Wu was alive, even if he wanted to do the business of robbing the house, he should not have the courage to hit the convoy of the Cao Chamber of Commerce. But after stammering with his mouth open for a long time, Cao Chen couldn't overturn the facts in front of him, frowning, he finally had to shake his head in confusion, but obviously he had already agreed with Fan Ying's analysis and judgment.

"Bold! It's just daring! Fan Ying suddenly threw the jade card in his hand to the ground, fortunately, it was not the bluestone street in Fuxu Town, otherwise the end of the jade card would be shattered, but Fan Ying's angry shout startled Cao Chen next to him, and he subconsciously jumped to the side half a step, and Fan Ying didn't care whether the other party was frightened or not, and ordered in a deep voice to one of the few gang leaders who looked at him: "Take my order to Guangzhou Mansion to find General Yang Hongwen who suppressed the bandit army!" Let's just say that the Xunzhou Gang, a gang in Guangzhou Prefecture, openly robbed a passing caravan on the ground in Fuxu Town, and it was quite powerful! Ask General Yang Hongwen to lead the bandit army to clean up! We still need to rush back to Fuxu Town as soon as possible, inform the caravans along the way to be more careful, and at the same time strengthen the patrol military affairs in Fuxu Town! ”

"No!" The captain simply clenched his fists and took the order, turned around and strode out of the woods with his men, and in the blink of an eye the sound of the hooves and neighing of the horses outside the woods.

After the gang leader who went to Guangzhou Mansion to move the rescue soldiers left, Fan Ying stared at the corpse on the ground for a while, and glanced at the other gang leader, who was very excited and took his soldiers to lift the corpse and walk out of the woods. Then Fan Yingcai turned around, hugged Cao Chen with a solemn face, and said goodbye to the other party in a heavy tone: "Brother Cao!" Fan didn't come out to lead many troops this time, and he still needed to go back to Fuxu Town to restore his life before the unitary time, plus this incident proved that the thief was powerful, this matter is not trivial, Fan needs to go back to the city as soon as possible and report it truthfully! Forgive Fan can't continue to protect the caravan! ”

"That's nature, nature!" Seeing this, Cao Chen, who was a little absent-minded, hurriedly returned the salute, and did not forget to thank him again while claiming that it was: "Today's incident is thanks to Captain Fan's timely arrival, otherwise, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable!" ”

As he spoke, Cao Chen shouted at the accompanying convoy butler who was not far behind: "It's such a hot day! Hurry up and get some tea for Captain Fan and his brothers! To be the best! ”

After that, Cao Chen didn't care about Fan Ying's polite shirk on the side, he just said some words of thanks, and at the same time discharged the woods side by side with Fan Ying, and the housekeeper who got the order also handed the best tea that Cao Chen said in front of Fan Ying.

What is this tea? There is a golden luster in the sun, and it is clearly a few overlapping gold leaves, and it is the kind that is full of color!

Fan Ying glanced at Cao Chen meaningfully, hesitated a little and took it, but he threw it to the team that followed beside him, and after ordering the other party to go to the city to distribute it to the soldiers, he turned around and said goodbye to Cao Chen, but when he left, he also kindly reminded the other party that if he was worried about the unsafe road, he could wait for a while, after all, the convoy of the Cao Chamber of Commerce was the first to leave Fuxu Town, and there were countless caravans behind.

After Fan Ying led the garrison under his command to leave, Cao Chen didn't wait for Ji Chuan and the suspicious housekeeper to come forward to ask about the strange performance just now, and went straight back to the woods, near the corpse just found, turned over the weeds a few times, and found the Xunzhou Gang jade card that Fan Ying had fallen to the ground just now, looking at the jade card lying quietly in the palm of his hand, Cao Chen's eyes were filled with a thick chill, so that Ji Chuan and the housekeeper who followed him did not dare to talk for a while.

When all this happened, Ding Li and Aguda, who had successfully sneaked up, also joined up with Kuroko and Rudachi on a path parallel to the official road. Although everyone was sweating profusely, every face was filled with joy that can only be found after winning a battle, and even the tone of speech was a little higher than usual.

Originally, Lu Dachi proposed that everyone rest in place, eat and drink by the way, fill their stomachs, and then return to Fuxu Town after rectification, but Ding Li on horseback suddenly arched his hand at everyone, and rejected Lu Dachi's proposal with a smile: "Brothers! Thank you for today's events. I was supposed to return to Fuxu Town with my brothers and drink 300 cups with you to fulfill my promise! But today is really not the time, there are still some very important things in Guangzhou that I need to go back to solve! So I can only part with you here today! ”

"Don't, don't! Brother Li, didn't you say that you would go back to Fuxu Town? Hearing this, Aguda was the first to be in a hurry, as if he was afraid that Ding Li would immediately turn around and leave, and quickly stepped forward to pull the reins of Ding Li's mount, blushing and asked, "What do you have to go back today!" Just now you promised your brothers that you would invite them to drink when the matter is over! The brothers want to see how much Brother Zhili drinks! ”

"Yes! Brother Li, I, Lu Dachi, admit that my skills are not as good as you, but I am really not convinced by the amount of alcohol! Seeing this, Lu Dachi also hurriedly stepped forward to help, shook his sturdy body and looked up at Ding Li, smiled and waved his hand to continue to add: "I want my brothers to say, Brother Li, you will go back to Fuxu Town with your brothers today, what's the matter, it's a big deal that after drinking tonight, I will drink brothers and go to Guangzhou Mansion with Brother Li tomorrow!" ”

Seeing that the two masters who were in charge of talking opened their mouths, the others also scattered and surrounded Ding Li, persuading Ding Li with nonsense. However, if there were other things, Ding Li would really put it aside for the time being and go back to Fuxu Town with Lu Dachi and Aguda, but today is the last day of the three-day period agreed with Jin Sanpang in Fanfang District, not to mention that now the Xunzhou Gang has suddenly appeared again, Ding Li still wants to finish the matter of Liu Fu, the owner of the smuggling ship, while the iron is hot.

"Brothers, be quiet for a while!" In the face of the enthusiasm of a group of Mongolian children, Ding Li felt a little uncomfortable, and everyone almost carried Ding Li away from the horse, but Ding Li knew that it was still important to have agreed with Jin Sanfat, so he had to keep twisting his body and pressing his hands down to signal everyone to stop, and shouted for a minute before everyone finally stopped the noise, and Ding Li was already full of embarrassment, but he still arched his hand at everyone, and still insisted on his decision: "I don't say what I did just now, everyone understands something, And the affairs of Guangzhou Mansion are even more important than just now! So this time, I really can't go back to Fuxu with my brothers to drink and talk! ”

Saying that, Ding Li didn't wait for everyone to respond, raised his hand again and arched towards Lu Dachi and Aguda, and continued: "Both! Explain it to my second brother when I go back! The matter of Guangzhou Mansion is really urgent, and it must be today! ”

Seeing that Ding Li insisted on leaving, and it didn't seem like he was deliberately shirking, Lu Dachi and Aguda had no choice but to nod slowly after looking at each other, and at the same time clenched their fists towards Ding Li on horseback: "Brother Li, be careful all the way!" ”

"Brother Li, be careful all the way!"

Seeing this, the rest of the people didn't want to stay any longer, and then they saluted Ding Li with their fists and shouted in unison.

"Everyone, you too, be careful all the way!" Ding Li nodded with a smile, hugged his fists at everyone and returned the salute, just turned his mount but suddenly turned his head, smiled at Aguda and said: "Aguda, if Brother Wu wakes up, say hello on my behalf and let him recuperate!" In addition, there are Uncle Xiang and Miss! ”

"Understood, Brother Li! Rest assured! Aguda smiled and waved his hand, and then shouted at Kuroko, who was also turning his mount, "Brother Kuroko, be careful all the way!" ”

"Brothers, farewell!" Heizi let go of the reins, turned around and hugged everyone, and then glanced at Ding Li, the two of them urged their mounts at the same time, moving quickly in the direction of Guangzhou Mansion, and the golden sunlight sprinkled on the two of them, like two gods of war that were rapidly moving away, gradually disappeared from the sight of everyone in the same place.
