Zhen Xiaomei and others, who walked calmly and regarded the rush as a trip to enjoy the scenery, did not know at this time that the Wu family in Ganzhou was not only eyeing Beizhou, which was barren and desolate and did not have much oil and water.

Including Zhongzhou, which is under the jurisdiction of the Liang family, many surrounding states and counties have been regarded as easy-to-cut leeks by the Wu family.

They pursued a guerrilla strategy of rushing and running, because the aftermath was done well enough, and so far, the forces of all parties that have suffered heavy losses have not been able to link this matter with the Wu clan in Ganzhou.

In fact, if it weren't for Zhen Xiaomei's large enough sphere of influence, and she had contact with the Liang family in Zhongzhou, the Ding family and the Meng family in Lianzhou, and was able to use the elimination method to lock the suspects in Beizhou, Ganzhou, and Xizhou, it would be difficult for her to find valuable clues or evidence from a group of featureless dead soldiers.

The Wu clan did such a leaky job, obviously they had made all the preparations a long time ago, in order to expose themselves as late as possible.

And they did so at the risk of being attacked by a swarm, apparently not just to expand their sphere of influence slightly.

After hearing about the various chaos that occurred during this period of time from the population of the Liang clan who came to reinforce them, Zhen Xiaomei and others took the opportunity to analyze who was secretly targeting the big and small forces in Kyushu.

"It should be the Wu clan in Ganzhou." Liang Wenxuan was the first to speak to express his opinion, and he said: "The location of the caravan accident and the counties and towns that were suddenly robbed are basically all concentrated around Ganzhou. ”

Tang Shishi asked, "Could it be that someone deliberately framed him?" ”

Rabbits don't eat the grass next to the nest, even if these people want to ask for money, they shouldn't always be able to suffer from the big and small forces around them.

In this case, they are more likely to be framed.

Liang Wenxuan shook his head, "It's probably not big." ”

If other forces frequently loot, kill, and transfer materials and money around Ganzhou, then they will definitely enter the sight of the Wu clan as soon as possible, and it is impossible for them to do it so many times, and the Wu clan has not yet reacted.

You must know that they are not passing caravans, nor are they small warrior families that have almost been wiped out, they are the Wu clan who control the entire territory of Ganzhou.

With their control over Ganzhou, it is impossible for them not to notice the bandit team that is active around Ganzhou.

noticed it, but did not follow the clues left at the scene to track down and clear it in the first place, which in itself can already explain a lot of problems.

Regardless of whether the Wu clan gave enough excuses to deal with the victim's forces or relatives and friends in this matter, there was one thing that they absolutely could not explain.

That is, the money and materials that originally belonged to the victims will never disappear out of thin air.

It's easy to kill and easy to rob, but if those people want to take away a lot of money and supplies, then the ground around the scene of the incident will inevitably leave deep rut marks and hoof marks on cattle and horses, mules and other animals pulling carts.

These traces can't be completely removed in a short period of time, and those robbers who have done bad things must be quickly withdrawn in a short time, so who is the important trace that is enough for all forces to track their tracks, and who will help them clean up the aftermath?

Thinking about it this way, it is really difficult for Liang Wenxuan not to suspect the Wu family, the controllers of Ganzhou.

As for why the Wu clan wanted to do this kind of thing on their own territory, rather than other places that would allow them to clear their suspicions, Liang Wenxuan felt that there should be two reasons.

The first is the convenience of the aftermath he just mentioned, and the second Liang Wenxuan guessed that it should be to complete the transportation and disposal of the stolen goods as quickly as possible.

After all, those things and money are not included in the treasury of the Wu clan for a day, and there is a risk of being accidentally discovered by others during transportation.

Rather than doing it in other places where they are unfamiliar, and then working hard to transport things back to Ganzhou, leaving more clues and time for other forces to follow, it is better to directly control all the variables in their own hands.

On this point, Zhen Xiaomei and Yun Zhao agree with Liang Wenxuan.

They even suspected that the head of the Wu family was fighting the idea of unifying Kyushu and destroying all the existing sects and families that did not have the surname Wu.

is so ambitious, Zhen Xiaomei actually wanted to praise him, but he took the initiative to attack and seriously injured Yun Zhao, and offended Zhen Xiaomei to death because of this, which set up a great obstacle to his grand cause of unifying Kyushu, which made Zhen Xiaomei a little unsure whether to scold him for doing it himself, or whether to scold him for being stupid and poisonous, and incurable.

The group analyzed the situation, and then briefly discussed the various unexpected situations that might arise, and agreed on the meeting place in case they were separated from each other and some codes to send the message.

Everything was ready, everyone rested for one night, and continued to move towards Ganzhou in the northwest.

After staying overnight and driving for three days, Zhen Xiaomei and the others finally came to the foot of a mountain about 200 miles away from Ganzhou Prefecture.

The guards of the Liang family, who were familiar with the road conditions, said to Liang Wenxuan: "After crossing this mountain, it will take about two more days to reach Ganzhou Prefecture." ”

At this time, it was still early, and everyone estimated that they should be able to climb the mountain before the sun set, so after a short rest, Zhen Xiaomei and Yun Zhao were the first to walk towards the rugged mountain road in front of them.

The mountain road does not lead to the top of the mountain, but already winds and turns halfway up the mountain to the other side of the mountain.

They followed the winding dirt road and walked briskly to the other side of the mountain. However, when they bypassed the mountain in front of them and saw the scene on the other side of the mountain, Zhen Xiaomei couldn't help but frown subconsciously, "Cliff? ”

The guard of the Liang family nodded slightly, "Yes, the other side of this mountain is indeed a cliff. ”

Zhen Xiaomei's gaze extended into the distance, and found that the rugged mountain road that had turned from a dirt road to a stone road was indeed mostly facing the cliff on the left and the stone wall on the right.

She had an indescribable sense of crisis, "This road is too narrow, if someone hides on the other side of the stone wall to attack us, won't we be easily knocked off the cliff?" ”

"Uh," the Liang family's guard scratched his head, and he turned his eyes to look at Liang Wenxuan who was standing beside Zhen Xiaomei and Yun Zhao, "Then why don't you bring someone over to investigate first?" ”

Liang Wenxuan groaned slightly, "Then you should be more careful." ”

The guards took the order and left, and Zhen Xiaomei and the others did not stand in place so stupidly.
