Under the oil-paper umbrella, Lao Jianhua silently stared at the cold corpse on the ground, and his whole heart was sinking.

He had been hidden in the ghost desert of Western Xinjiang for many years, during which he traveled back and forth to the Turks countless times, planning for the chaos that stirred up the world. Therefore, Lao Jianhua has a relatively deep understanding of the strength of the Turkic Empire and the elites within them.

The Turkic warrior who died tragically in front of him, named Darren, ranked fifth among the Thirteen Iron-Blooded Eagles, and the ninth-ranked Gurt also came from the Ghost Fighting Clan, and they were also brothers, both of whom were born under the disciple of the first master of the Turks, the "Martial Saint" Biluo.

Darren is a strong martial artist, especially good at light skills and tracking. Although he is not Bi Luo's most proud disciple, he can also be called a powerful figure in the Turkic martial arts.

Therefore, when Lao Jianhua was about to return to the eastern capital of Luoyi and go all out to deal with Shen Lie, who went to rescue the crown prince, he deliberately proposed to Prince Tanli that he wanted to borrow Darren and Gurt as foreign aid to help him.

However, I didn't expect that the Turkic Twin Eagles joined forces, but they couldn't defeat the mysterious spy, but ended up with a death and a disappearance, how could it not make Lao Jianhua secretly frightened?

"Could it be...... Am I missing something? Lao Jianhua muttered to himself as his brain spun rapidly. In his impression, in the entire Beiya Reverse Scale Division, except for Shen Lie, no one else can have such a shocking ability.

On the other hand, the series of actions to snatch the crown prince the day before yesterday, within one day, the entire Luoyi City was full of smoke, revealing a kind of treacherous and tough that can only be found on the battlefield, which is not at all like the consistent secret agent style of Shen Lie and the Reverse Scale Division.

Could it be that there is someone else behind this?

And that person is the spy who is hiding in Tingyuxuan tonight?

Thinking of this, Lao Jianhua couldn't help but feel a little remorseful. Knowing this, it would be better to expose the whereabouts of the spies on the spot and directly surround him. If you want to blame, you can only blame yourself for being greedy, trying to use the spy to deceive the big fish of the reverse scales, and in the end, it will make trouble to the point where stealing chickens is not a counter-erosion.

And this handful of rice is too troublesome.

Anyone can lose it, but it can't be Prince Tanley's general, otherwise how can he explain it when he goes back?

Lao Jianhua felt that his head suddenly hurt a little, and it was getting more and more painful.

Di Xian walked quickly to the front and reported in a low voice: "Master, I have searched all the areas within a radius of five miles, and I have found no trace of Gult. ”

Lao Jianhua snorted coldly in frustration, then put away his depressed mood, pointed to the corpse on the ground and asked Di Xian: "Come and see, the location and wound of Darren's wound, can you judge the number of the opponent's martial arts?" ”

Di Xian was slightly stunned, and said secretly in his heart: Master, what's wrong? I'm not a man of the Scales, nor am I a man of the Six Doors, so I'm not good at that. On the contrary, Master is the master of this way, why did he ask me instead?

Of course, thinking like this, Di Xian didn't dare to question it. He hurriedly walked up to the corpse, carefully observed it for a long time, and then cautiously responded: "Well, judging from the wound surface, the weapon used by the other party should be extremely sharp, most likely a knife or sword. The internal force is also very strong, and the trauma not only penetrates the texture, but also shatters some of the viscera. ”

Lao Jianhua nodded: "What else?" ”

Di Xian thought about it again and was puzzled: "Well, there is another thing that is very strange. There were no injuries to the rest of Darren's body, except for seven knife wounds concentrated on his chest, which looked ...... It's weird. ”

Lao Jianhua was originally distraught, so he had nothing to say for his pastime, but now when he heard him say this, he couldn't help but become interested, approached and observed carefully, and suddenly said after a while: "Well, it's indeed a little interesting." Di Xian, what does this strange injury mean? ”

Di Xian opened his mouth, but did not speak, only frowned and shook his head.

"What comes to mind? Say it boldly. Lao Jianhua obviously had some answers, but he still asked Di Xian.

Di Xian hesitated: "The disciple originally wanted to say whether Darren would be killed after being tied up by the other party, but he immediately overturned this idea. There were traces of fierce fighting everywhere at the scene, and it was obvious that the speculation of tying up first and then killing was not very reasonable. Master, the disciple is dull, please give me some guidance. ”

Lao Jianhua looked at the corpse carefully, made a few gestures with his right hand, nodded lightly, and said, "It's easy to say." This strange phenomenon can only show one thing, and that is - fast! ”

"Quick?"

"That's right, fast. To be precise, the knife is fast. Lao Jianhua pointed to the wound: "If you look carefully, the seven knife wounds are actually caused by the actions that are connected to the front and back. ”

When Di Xian heard this, he also learned from Lao Jianhua's appearance just now, gestured with his hand, and then exclaimed: "My God, it's true!" If you use a knife, there is no subtlety in these moves, but it can be continuously injured in the same area, it is almost like Darren standing upright, allowing the opponent to slash. In the world, is there really any fast knife?! ”

A sneer appeared at the corner of Lao Jianhua's mouth, but there was a slight worry between his eyebrows: "The masters of the Holy Tang Knife Technique, each with their own characteristics, among them, there are no more than three people who are known for their speed. Yan Zhong, who once dominated the martial arts of Xishu and was nicknamed 'Demon Knife', Shangguan Yunxiao of the Shangguan family of Qiantang Mansion in the south of the Yangtze River, and a ......"

"Starfall Knife, He Jingming!" Di Xian said in surprise.

Lao Jianhua nodded: "The demon sword Yan Zhong is the party to the disaster, as early as six years ago, he was cleaned up by the demon mad monk Hui Dian. Shangguan Yunxiao was indifferent by nature, and at the age of 40, he announced his retirement from the rivers and lakes, practicing meditation with peace of mind, and never left home for more than 20 years. As for He Jingming, he had already died in the Tibetan Army Valley. I really didn't expect it, and now there is a fast knife hand. ”

Di Xian pondered for a moment: "Master, do you say it will be the junior disciples of those three people?" ”

"Quite possibly. And the most likely is He Jingming's apprentice. Lao Jianhua turned his head to look at Di Xian: "Have you heard of the Pegasus Scout Starfall Quick Knife?" ”

Di Xian shook his head blankly.

"Then Baron Metasequoia, I must have heard of it."

"Of course I've heard of it," Di Xian was a little puzzled: "The imperial court issued a wanted warrant and offered a reward for chasing down Li Jiangyao who had taken refuge with the Turks. Why, could it be that he is He Jingming's apprentice? ”

Lao Jianhua bowed slightly: "Yes." I also found out about this matter later. In the past, I had a relationship with Li Jiangyao in Western Xinjiang, and I also witnessed his wonderful performance in the company camp. Since then, I have been secretly keeping an eye on this man and have done a careful investigation of him. Do you know? He is not only the only personal disciple He Jingming admitted, but also has two good brothers who have passed their lives. ”

Di Xianqi said: "Who? Who are the two exactly? ”

"One is your old colleague Xu Youchang, and the other is ...... Hehe, it's Murong Xue. ”

"Huh? Is there such a thing? Di Xian was surprised: "This situation, the disciple didn't grasp it before. ”

Lao Jianhua smiled faintly: "I didn't grasp it at all, that's normal." Li Jiangyao has always been far away in Western Xinjiang, just an insignificant lieutenant in the Zhenjiang Metropolitan Protectorate, and no one would associate him with the young and promising Tiger and Leopard Cavalry Commander and the forward general of the Xuanjia Army, let alone He Jingming, the pillar of the Shengtang Army. ”

Speaking of this, Lao Jianhua's tone suddenly became a little heavier: "However, the dragon dives into the Nine Abysses, waiting for an opportunity to move, once the wind and clouds meet, it can soar into the sky." The chaos in Western Xinjiang gave Li Jiangyao the opportunity to display his ambitions, and in just a few years, a lonely city of Metasequoia was blocked by the fame he operated, and even the Turkic Khan could not help but be distracted to deal with it. ”

Di Xian was still a little puzzled: "Master, this is not right." Since Li Jiangyao has taken refuge in the Turks and has been named a baron, it stands to reason that he should hide in the western Xinjiang and live happily, how could he come all the way to Luoyi and kill the iron-blooded thirteen eagles? Darren is following the people of the Reverse Scale Division, what does this Reverse Scale Division have to do with Li Jiangyao? ”

"There's one more thing I forgot to tell you," Lao Jianhua sneered: "Li Jiangyao not only studied under He Jingming, but also was a brother to Xu Youchang Murong Xue, he also had a good friend named Shen Lie. ”

Di Xian's eyes widened: "Long history of reverse scales? My God, this Li Jiangyao's background is quite deep, the Shengtang military and the intelligence yamen all have a relationship with him! ”

Lao Jianhua put his hands behind his back and looked up at the dim night sky: "I won't tell you, my intuition tells the old man that the murderer of Darren is likely to be Li Jiangyao." When I first met in Western Xinjiang, although I had never fought against him, I can be sure that his martial arts are above me and Shen Lie. Moreover, it is the path of a quick knife. Now, coupled with his relationship with He Jingming, with Shen Lie, with Murong Xue, and the earth-shaking chaos between Western Xinjiang and Shengtang, I think more and more that Li Jiangyao secretly returned to the Central Plains and directly participated in the operation of the Reverse Scale Division in Luoyi! ”

Regarding Lao Jianhua's whimsical speculation, Di Xian was still a little difficult to accept in his heart. However, because of the teacher's face, he didn't dare to question it, so he could only follow this line of thought and ask: "If it was really Li Jiangyao who did it, then what will they do next?" ”

"If Shen Lie is in charge here, I will say that the other party must be staring at Murong Xue tightly and trying to save people by all means." Lao Jianhua thought about it and said, "But if Li Jiangyao is mixed in it, I guess...... He's probably going to look elsewhere. ”

Di Xian thought to himself: The teacher must have been confused. This analysis is simply getting more and more outrageous. Not to mention the basis for predicting the enemy's situation, it cannot be based on the absurd and bold assumption that the commander of the other side is Li Jiangyao, and even if it is Li Jiangyao, there is no reason to judge that he will turn his attention elsewhere.

With the brotherly relationship between Li Jiangyao and Murong Xue, isn't this a contradiction?

Lao Jianhua obviously didn't care what Di Xian thought, and continued to say quietly: "Shen Lie is a person who is bold and ruthless, hard-willed, and indeed competent for the long history of the reverse scales. However, its weaknesses are also very obvious. He was so focused that it was hard to open his eyes. Dealing with a single thing is not a big problem, but to control the overall situation, there is a lack of bearing and wisdom. Therefore, I judge that if Shen Lie wants to save people, he will definitely save them to the end. ”

"Li Jiangyao is different." Lao Jianhua shook his head gently: "In the past few years in Western Xinjiang, he has been able to forbear, be good at strategy, and be very bold. This kind of person often doesn't like to do things according to common sense, and he doesn't care about the immediate gains and losses. Therefore, since he knew that the old man was back, he would definitely not bother to rescue Murong Xue again, but had other plans. ”
