"Found it!" Soon, one of the soldiers shouted.

Duan Ming and the others hurriedly leaned over to take a look, only to see mottled blood stains faintly visible on the ground here.

Following the trail of blood, he soon found something out of the ordinary.

Duan Ming squatted down and gently touched the ground: "Here, someone should have dug up." ”

"Dig!" The black-bearded man nodded, and with a wave of his hand, several soldiers began digging.

Duan Ming stepped aside, looking at the movements of these soldiers with a pale face, and his heart twitched.

It didn't take long for a small pit dug in the ground, and the soldiers carried out six corpses from it.

Duan Ming clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

These six corpses were the five officials of Xu Ruoyun and the Ming Spiegel Division, and I saw that their eyes were round, and their bodies were covered with knife marks, looking hideous and terrifying.

"I'm sorry......" Duan Ming staggered over, looked at the six corpses on the ground, and said in a deep voice, "I'm still late." ”

"Is there really a corpse of someone in the Spiegel?" The black-bearded man frowned, raised his head and said, "Search!" Look for thieves nearby! ”

"Yes!" Many soldiers immediately searched everywhere.

Then, the black-bearded man jumped off the horse, came to Duan Ming's side, looked at the corpse, and then looked at Duan Ming: "Are they here to protect you?" Who are you? ”

"I ......" Duan Ming gritted his teeth, then shook his head: "I'm nothing......"

"Okay." Seeing that Duan Ming didn't want to speak, the black-bearded man didn't interject anymore, and took the Xuanhua big axe in his hand to check it with many soldiers.

But this group of thieves was very well prepared, and after checking for a long time, they found no trace.

After a while, the black-bearded man returned to Duan Ming's side: "Hey, boy, this gang of thieves is running fast, there is no trace, I am going back to the post station, can you leave?" ”

"Me?" Duan Ming slowly stretched out his hand to close the eyes of Xu Ruoyun and the others, and then said in a deep voice, "I'll go." ”

Immediately afterwards, Duan Ming stood up, looked in the direction of Fanxing Temple, and said in a deep voice: "But I can't let them die like this, I want to go to Fanxing Temple!" ”

"Fanxing Temple?" The black-bearded man frowned: "It's the place that has been in a uproar recently, and it is said to be haunted?" ”

"Hehe, what a haunting!" Duan Ming sneered: "It's clear that someone is doing it!" These men in black are supposed to be here to kill me, but I'm already gone, so why are they chasing me? Then it proves that I must know something they don't want me to know! ”

"What do you mean?" The black-bearded man was confused by Duan Ming's words: "Wait, you mean you came out of the Fanxing Temple?" ”

"That's right, I was invited by the deputy commander of the Spiegel Division to solve the case, but I wanted to leave for personal reasons, and I never thought that I would meet a thief here." Saying that, Duan Ming clasped his fist at the black-bearded man and saluted: "Thank you for the kindness of the general, I will remember it in my heart." This is my resignation, and my brothers will have General Lao to help me send them back to the post station, and when the time comes, the criminal commander will send someone to arrange the aftermath. ”

"Ah, okay, just leave it to me, these brothers." The black-bearded man nodded and said, "You don't want to be a long general, my name is Li Daaxe, you can just call me Brother Li." ”

"Thank you, General Lee." Duan Ming nodded: "In the next Duan Ming, if you have the opportunity to come to Linyang City in the future, the kid will definitely invite you to Chunyu Tower for a banquet." ”

"Haha, good!" Li Daaxe laughed, then turned his head to look at the soldiers, and stretched out his hand to a few people: "A few of you, escort this Mr. Duan back to Fanxing Temple." If something goes wrong halfway, no one will invite me to a banquet in Linyang City in the future, so I'll try to ask you! ”

"Yes!" Several soldiers responded.

"And you, Mr. Duan, right?" Li Daaxe said to Duan Ming: "That horse just now, you can ride it first, and let these stinky boys bring it back when the time comes." There will be an ambush on the road, so be careful. ”

"Thank you, General Lee!" Duan Ming clenched his fists again and said, and then he was not polite, turned over and rode towards the direction of Fanxing Temple with a few soldiers.

"General." After a few people left, a soldier came forward and said, "Do you need to be so good to this scholar?" ”

"Hmph, everyone says that General Ben is simple, but in fact, General Ben is smart! What is this called, wise and foolish! Li Daaxe said in a deep voice: "Haven't you heard about the matter of Fanxing Temple?" The Golden Buddha turns black, and the blood lotus proverb is a big deal! His Majesty's special order to the Spiegel Division to solve this case is enough to show the importance of His Majesty. ”

"The general is martial and wise." The soldier said, "But what does this person have to do with it?" ”

"This person just said that he was invited by the Spiegel Division, and his expression doesn't seem to be fake, so it's naturally best for us to escort him back." Li Daaxe glanced at the soldier next to him: "You kid, this head is really elm, I can't figure it out?" ”

"Hehe, how can I have the wisdom of a general." The soldier scratched his head and said.

"You think. If this person is an imposter and not a member of the Spiegel Division, then these soldiers can directly kill him to avenge the deception! Li Daaxe waved the Xuanhua Daaxe in his hand: "And what if this person is from the Spiegel Division?" He said that he was from Linyang City, so how many days has he been here? sent someone all the way to Linyang City to invite this person, which is enough to show that Xing Qianqiu attaches great importance to this person. ”

"In that case, I asked someone to escort him back, can Xing Qianqiu not accept my affection?" Li Daaxe said in a deep voice: "You know, that's the 'Ming Ghost' of the Spiegel Division, although he doesn't usually use his love, but if it comes to a critical moment, it can save his life!" ”

"The general is resourceful, and his subordinates admire him!" The soldier clenched his fists and said, "But this person looks very smart, could he have guessed the general's thoughts?" ”

"Hmph, what if you guessed?" Li Daaxe laughed.

In fact, Duan Ming did guess it, but there was nothing he could do if he guessed it, and he had to accept this favor.

This is a conspiracy, no matter what, when Li Daaxe led his troops to rescue Xu Ruoyun with him, this favor was already owed.

Moreover, as Li Daaxe said, no one knows whether the road ahead is safe, and Duan Ming has too many variables to go back on foot, so he can only accept it.

Duan Ming really didn't expect that Li Daaxe, a person who seemed to be very rough and brainless, would have such a delicate mind.

However, none of this seemed to Duan Ming to matter.

After all, it is Xing Qianqiu who owes the favor, what does it have to do with him Duan Ming?
