When the two of them arrived on the outskirts, a small group of Imperial City Guards had also arrived. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"General Locke. "Now is the period of unanimity with the outside world, even if the Praetorian Guard is an army directly under the royal family, but when they saw Luo Hu who was in charge of the entire Luo family's army, the Praetorian Guards still saluted very politely.

"Has the killer been tracked?"

Approaching the scene, in this bamboo forest, there are many corpses lying horizontally. Luo Hu looked through the scars on the corpse and asked the leader of the Praetorian Guard.

"General, we also rushed here after getting information from the 'Falcon'. By the time he arrived, the killer had already fled. The leader pointed to the eagle hovering overhead, and replied.

Nodding, Luo Hu stopped talking.

Xiao Yun followed the leader's hand and looked at the eagle flying low in the sky, was that the intelligence spirit beast raised by the empire-the falcon? Although he had heard of falcons before, this was the first time he had really seen them.

"It's not like the means of the Yellow Springs Blood Sword Pavilion. After examining several corpses over and over again, Luo Hu could only come to this conclusion in the end.

Hearing Luo Hu speak, Xiao Yun took his attention back from the sky. Looking at these inhuman, scarred corpses, he knew that Luo Hu's judgment was right. Because of the Huangquan Blood Sword Pavilion, they had dealt with each other, and the killers of the Huangquan Blood Sword Pavilion were well-trained, and assassinations were often killed with one hit.

And these corpses in front of him, some of them were even dismantled, and their flesh and blood were blurred, which really didn't look like the means of the Huangquan Blood Sword Pavilion.

"Wouldn't the Huangquan Blood Sword Pavilion deliberately destroy the corpse and confuse the public?" Although agreeing with Luo Hu's judgment, Xiao Yun still said something else.

"No, in such a short killing time, the falcons are hovering overhead all the time, if it is really the Yellow Spring Blood Sword Pavilion, they will not have time to destroy the corpse at all. Moreover, the killers have developed the habit of winning one blow after years of training, and it is difficult to change it when fighting. If you look at these corpses, almost none of the injuries on their bodies can be killed with a single blow. ”

As a cultivator, Xiao Yun knew very well that the throat and heart of the human body were the most fragile, and most of the killers chose these places to attack. And looking at these corpses, their necks and hearts are almost not scarred, and even if they are, they are minor injuries that are not fatal at all.

"Why did they kill these people?" Xiao Yun, who was carrying a long and narrow black iron box, stood in the middle of a pile of Praetorian Guards, although he was shorter, but the iron box made him the most conspicuous.

The leader of the Praetorian Guard replied: "If you want to find out the motive for the killing, I am afraid you must first find out the identity of these people." ”

"Nope. Looking at the corpse repeatedly, Luo Hu slowly stood up and said, "There is no reason. They're meant to kill, and if I'm not mistaken, their purpose is to kill. ”

Linked to the murders in the east and south of the city and the suburbs on the other side, Luo Hu had vaguely guessed the motive of the murderers.

"Xiao Yun, let's go, let's go to the front and have a look. ”

Luo Hu walked towards the depths of the bamboo forest.

Of course, the Praetorian Guards knew that Luo Hu wanted to talk to Xiao Yun alone, so they bent down and said, "Congratulations to the general." ”

Xiao Yun followed.

Xiao Luo and the two walked between the bamboo forests, and the ground here was a little wet. The weeds also have obvious signs of drifting, and some messy footprints can occasionally be seen on the wet soil.

The murderer was supposed to have been withdrawn from here.

"General Luo, what do you mean when you just said that they just wanted to kill people?" When he had walked far enough, Xiao Yun stepped forward and asked in parallel with Luo Hu.

"The hearts of the people. ”

"People's hearts?"

"Yes, I took a closer look at the corpses just now, as well as the murder scenes in many places in the east and south of the city. They all had one thing in common, and I found that the corpses were all horribly miserable, and some were even mutilated and disgusting. And these people who were killed, there were merchants, farmers, and some cultivators, and in terms of identity, they had nothing in common. ”

Xiao Yun listened carefully, and slowly analyzed in his heart.

"However, they are all ordinary citizens of the empire who have not gone to watch the Shenzhou Martial Arts Society, and the murderers are picking on such lonely residents, I think they intend to create fear and panic in the imperial city. When the people's hearts are in turmoil, the consequences can be big or small, but they are all bad consequences. ”

"Water can carry a boat, can it also capsize a boat?" Xiao Yun's mind came up with this word at this time.

Nodding, Luo Hu continued: "The will of the people is the foundation of governing the country. ”

"But even if we knew, what would that do? So far, we haven't even seen the shadow of the murderer. What's more, the prison was robbed, and thousands of criminals escaped, and these people all had resentment towards the Yanhua Empire in their hearts. ”

"That's what I'm worried about. Luo Hu put his hands behind his back and looked ahead, Xiao Yun could feel the soul power around him, it was Luo Hu probing the surrounding environment.

After walking for a while, Xiao Yun asked, "General Luo, can't you trust the Imperial Guards?"

Thinking of Luo Hu deliberately taking him away from the Praetorian Guards, Xiao Yun felt that Luo Hu was clearly distrusting the Praetorian Guards.

"I just believe in myself. Luo Hu replied quickly, almost without thinking.

The meaning of his words was obvious, and even Xiao Yun couldn't even rank among the ranks he completely trusted.

In the military, a skeptical attitude is important.

After a pause, Xiao Yun looked at Luo Hu who continued to walk forward, but he felt a little lonely in his heart. However, this loneliness is not his, but Luo Hu's.

"Could those dead just now be among the nineteen?" Xiao Yun asked again, spreading out the scroll of paper with his portrait on it. When he says "nineteen", he naturally refers to the number under the portrait.

Luo Hu said that nineteen means that the killer target is ranked nineteen.

"Who?!" Without answering Xiao Yun's words, Luo Hu suddenly burst out with momentum, his eyes looking behind him. Xiao Yun could feel that there was an immediate fierce force in the air, attacking as far as Luo Hu's line of sight could reach.

Someone.

"General Luo Hu, don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive. It's us, the Brontosaurus, the white maple. Dozens of meters behind him, there was a babbling sound. As soon as Xiao Yun heard this voice, he knew that it was indeed the thunder fat man, who was fake.

With an oops, the thunder dragon screamed again, presumably the Yuan Force attack had already attacked him.

After waiting for a while, the figures of the thunder dragon and Bai Feng appeared in the bamboo forest.

Looking at the mud stains on Lei Long's clothes, Xiao Yun secretly laughed, this fat man was definitely knocked to the ground by Luo Hu's Yuan Li Beam, which made him so embarrassed. Looking at Bai Feng behind the fat man, he was just a little muddy on his trouser legs, and he must have just been stumbled by that attack.

In comparison, Bai Feng is much more relaxed than Brontosaurus.

"Why are you here?" Xiao Yun asked looking at Bai Feng, who was holding a long knife in his chest and his face was full of indifference, and at the thunder dragon who couldn't help wiping the mud on his clothes.

"The game is getting in full swing, and I saw you gone, so come and have a look. Saying that, the fat man showed his trademark fat smile, looking as cheap as he was. It seems that a fat man who doesn't drink alcohol doesn't have a temperament like a fat man who drinks.

How to say, the fat man who drinks has a melancholy.

And now the fat people, more, are cheap and stupid.

"It's boring, I'll see if there's a fight. Bai Feng also explained.

Listening to the explanations of the two, Xiao Yun felt a little deliberate, so he pretended to say casually: "How do I think you seem to be following me." ”

"Why, isn't this really boring. You say yes, General Luo?" the fat man immediately answered, and his gesture of denial made Xiao Yun even more suspicious.

In fact, long ago, Xiao Yun had thought that since the appearance of Liao Bai Ninglei's four families, there would always be a person from the four major families around him. Before, it was Liao Yu, then Liao Jie in the secret realm, then the thunder dragon who was looking for him to drink, and finally Bai Feng and Tranquility, now that I think about it, it is more like a kind of surveillance.

Luo Hu just smiled lightly at Lei Long's words, obviously not intending to get involved.

"What is this?" Just when the atmosphere was a little awkward, Bai Feng snatched the scroll from Xiao Yun's hand and opened the paper. The fat man also leaned over, and the two stared at the portrait on the paper.

Looking horizontally and vertically, after a long while, the fat man exclaimed exaggeratedly: "Wow, this portrait is you! Good boy, quickly explain to the truth, which yellow flower girl has taken a fancy to you, and sent you such a realistic portrait." ”

When Xiao Yun heard this, he could only support his forehead.

"What does this number mean?" After all, Bai Feng was more serious, and his question was more serious than that of the Thunder Dragon.

Before Xiao Yun could answer, an eagle's cry suddenly sounded from the sky above him.

Xiao Yun could hear that it was the voice of the Imperial Falcon.

The four of them looked up and saw an adult eagle circling down.

"What is it doing?" asked the Brontosaurus as he watched the eagle swirl down.

"It was shot, follow me. After just one glance, Luo Hu's expression changed slightly, and he continued to walk towards the depths of this dense forest. Ahead is a somewhat steep sloping peak, with rocks and trees on it, making it ideal for hiding.

Hearing Luo Hu's words, the other three saw the eagle circling down and sprinkling scenes of blood in the air. And in the falcon's neck, an arm-long arrow pierced its throat.

Falcon, really shot!

Who is it?

Could it be the murderer who killed those people in the forest?

didn't have time to think too much, Xiao Yun immediately lifted his breath and lightened his body and kept up with Luo Hu.

After Xiao Yun left, Bai Feng and Luo Hu looked at each other, nodded to each other, and followed Xiao Yun towards the deep mountain.

Halfway up the slope of the peak, there is a stone forest.

Except for some huge rocks, there are tall bushes. Compared to the lower places, there are no big trees in the sky.

This is also the most vulnerable location.

"What are you doing? Aren't you afraid that people will find out about us?" Behind a boulder more than a foot high, there were six or seven people, each of whom carried bloody blades in their hands, and walked through the bushes with their short bodies. In the crowd, a somewhat handsome-looking man was questioning the bow-wielding cultivator beside him.

The bow cultivator raised the corners of his mouth and said proudly: "Don't look at who I am, I'm a hunter! My bow, if it weren't for a cultivator in the Imperial Yuan Realm, it would be impossible to detect my position based on the bow and arrows I sent!"

The hunter, the nickname of the bow-wielding cultivator at this time.

"You don't have to shoot a falcon, it's dangerous. It can be seen that the handsome man is a little scared.

"That falcon has spotted us, and if I don't shoot it, it will soon send the message back to the Imperial Armaments system. That's when we're really in danger. ”

"How do you know we've been discovered?" spoke a middle-aged man at the front of the crowd, with a scar on his face that made him look dignified.

"Just kidding, I'm a hunter, and I've spent twice as long dealing with falcons and hounds as I have been in that damn prison. "Put away the longbow, this cultivator is quite proud.

But the seven people didn't know that at the foot of the mountain, four figures were rapidly approaching them.

If you don't reach the Yuyuan Realm, you really can't find that arrow shadow.

But they didn't expect, and they wouldn't have imagined, that there would be a Yuan Soul Realm cultivator at the foot of the mountain.
