Chapter 24: The Humble Guard

There was a half-peak in front of it, full of barren mountains, with only a few sparse bushes in the corners. However, the eyes of pedestrians who come here for the first time must be attracted because its shape is too unique:

The upper part of the mountain peak is gone, but it doesn't look like a weathered fracture, because the fracture is unusually smooth, as if someone has been slashed obliquely with a knife and split in half!

The break was abrupt and resolute.

You know, it's an entire pinnacle, millions of tons of rock and soil, not like a clump of bamboo that can be easily cut down.

There is a local legend that in ancient times, there were immortals who fought here and split the mountain peak with a sword, so this broken peak is also called "immortal beheading".

Such legends are everywhere in the world, and it is difficult to verify. But He Lingchuan's original body really climbed to the immortal chop a few years ago, and saw with his own eyes that the fracture was smooth and smooth, and there was not a single bump in such a large area, which was indeed beyond the reach of the craftsman's careful polishing.

Whether it is artificial or not, it is incredible.

Sun Fuping stared at this half-peak, as if he was feeling the fierceness and fierceness of the sword that remained to this day, and only let out a long breath: "The Tao is endless." ”

Further on, turning the col, there was an old poplar standing alone on the side of the road, and two people hung from under the dry branches.

The wind is blowing, and people are shaking.

Many pedestrians under the tree watched, pointing and whispering.

Sun Guoshi's team took a closer look, and there were two whiteboards hanging on the corpse, which were written "Lishang" and "Correspondence" respectively.

Nian Songyu and Sun Fuping's faces changed suddenly, their eyes were sharp, and they could see a transparent sign pinned to the placket of the corpse, with the word "Donglai" on it.

The guards of Donglai Mansion who were sent to track down the sand leopards in the West Mountain, two of them went to Blackwater City and disappeared. Sun and Nian knew about this, because the manpower was assigned by them. But at that time, the whereabouts of the sand leopard were already known, and they did not investigate.

Now, these two men have become corpses, and they are on their way.

Nian Songyu could judge at a glance that these two people were killed by broken necks and were tortured before they died.

Sun Guoshi saw that his face was swollen and red, and the green tendons on his neck burst out, so he hurriedly pressed his shoulder: "Don't be impulsive!" Isn't that to be expected? "These two guards have been missing for a long time, and we have already deduced the possibility of their death.

"The manpower of Donglai Mansion is arranged by us, this little bastard will take revenge on us!" Nian Songyu gritted his teeth. Kill a harrier demon yourself, and the other party will kill the two of them as revenge.

After all, Donglai Mansion was too far away from the border, and Da Sima assigned his guards to the two of them.

Sun Guoshi's face sank: "The overall situation is important!" There is no room for infighting now. ”

"Wait until you get the Dafang Pot......" Nian Songyu gritted his teeth, knowing that He Lingchuan had calculated that he still had to rely on the army of Blackwater City, and he couldn't turn his face now. He turned his head and shouted angrily, "He Lingchuan! ”

He Chunhua was also taken aback when he suddenly saw the corpse. Shouldn't these two be locked up in the farm of the Red and White Road?

Then he remembered that his eldest son had always acted recklessly.

The slight convergence in the past two months does not mean that his nature has changed.

Nian Songyu called twice, and He Lingchuan rode forward slowly, facing Nian Songyu's anger that was about to erupt: "Captain Nian, what's the matter?" ”

"Do you recognize these two?"

He Lingchuan took a closer look and was secretly frightened. Uncle Hao, is this all the anger out?

"Of course not. With so many people coming in and out of Blackwater City, how can I have the ability to register them one by one? He paused, "Hey, they actually have the name brand of Donglai Mansion." How could such a big man hang himself in a poor country? ”

"Okay." Nian Songyu didn't laugh angrily, and the words suddenly changed, "My companion on the Red Cliff Road died, what should you do?" ”

He guessed at once that the two guards must have been killed by He Lingchuan. This kid wants to give him eye medicine, and if he asks more, he will be ridiculed more.

Don't speculate for more than half a sentence, so you don't need to delve into it.

"If you can't bring it back, you'll be buried." He Lingchuan shrugged his shoulders, "Anyway, if you don't have a good end, let the creatures in the desert thank you for the gift of nature." ”

He Chunhua rushed to interject: "Most of them are burials. ”

"Then bury it." After all, it is a person from Donglai Mansion, and it is not good to expose the corpse wilderness.

He Lingchuan said with a smile: "Sesame is a trivial matter." Captain Nian should pay attention to the present first, don't delay the progress of the team. ”

Finally threw this sentence back, rejoice!

Nian Songyu's eyes flashed with resentment, and then he told Zeng Feixiong to send someone to remove the two corpses and bury them on the spot.

The team certainly can't wait and move on.

The feeling of being stared at by Nian Songyu is like a poisonous snake on the back, and it is terrifying. He Lingchuan pulled his father to slow down and walked in the middle of the line.

Of course, a person as proud as Nian Duwei took the lead, so he couldn't look back at He Lingchuan frequently, right?

"What are you doing?" He Chunhua reprimanded his son in a low voice, "Killing those two will not help, it will only further enmity with Nian Songyu." ”

He didn't know that the person was killed by Uncle Hao.

"You can vent evil spirits!" He Lingchuan saw him reprimanding himself as if nothing had happened, and couldn't help but sneer, "These two people calculated that we didn't have a lower limit, so our son wouldn't allow his son to slap him back?" Besides, he has a request for us, and he shouldn't turn his face with us at this time. ”

"If we come back alive, ...... in the future"

"If we come back with the treasure, Da Sima is ecstatic, where can we account for this little thing?" He Lingchuan said, "Father, you are not old, but you are too brave. ”

He Chunhua thought for a while, and his face darkened slightly: "You're right, I'm too cautious." ”

He always thought that he would be an official in the same dynasty in the future, especially when his family returned to the capital and had an unstable foundation, so it would be better to make fewer enemies.

The idea may be correct, but how can this kind of mentality of being cautious and cautious in front of the powerful be great?

He secretly warned himself here, and said to He Lingchuan: "Chuan'er, are you still blaming your father for dragging you on the road?" ”

Should you answer "yes" or "no" against your will? He Lingchuan could only snort: "How dare my son?" ”

"As a father, why don't you want your son to be safe and well? But in this world, it is impossible. He Chunhua patted him on the shoulder, "Chuan'er, you are not young, it's time for a good life." ”

He Lingchuan couldn't help it: "Other people's experience is from low to high. "Only his father gave him a big one.

The eldest son was really full of resentment, and He Chunhua smiled: "Don't blame Daddy for being ruthless. With you, the chances of us returning home safely are at least 20% higher. The words of the great shaman are not a joke. ”

He Lingchuan rolled his eyes, if the original body was really a blessed general, why did he die quietly, and his skin was still occupied by him, an outsider?

But this rhetorical question can only be held in the stomach.

No matter how noisy it is now, it won't help, not to mention that He Chunhua, as the local governor and his son, actually doesn't need to explain to him at all.
