Their figures disappear in the shadows of the cavern, carefully avoiding the intricacies of the environment.

Moonlight leaked through cracks in the roof of the cave, illuminating the uneven ground and stalactites of various shapes.

In this silent cave, the only sounds were the soft conversation of Jiang Xie and Huo Yijun leaning against each other, and the occasional dripping sound from the depths of the cave.

Jiang Xie suddenly got up to listen, and Huo Yijun immediately realized that the situation was different, quickly quieted down, and faced the darkness in the cave with Jiang Xie.

A tense atmosphere enveloped the entire cave, as if some kind of danger was looming.

"Someone!"

Huo Yijun whispered, leaning forward slightly, Jiang Xie and her quickly discussed, and decided to design a bureau to lure the assassin out.

They took advantage of their surroundings to find out where the Assassins might be hiding, and then Jiang Xie led the Assassins away, while Huo Yijun took the opportunity to attack from behind.

Jiang Xie drew the long sword on his body, hid his sword light in the darkness, and then deliberately made some noise in an attempt to lure out the assassin. Huo Yijun found a high ground and silently observed the surrounding movements.

For a while, the cave was so quiet that you could hear the needles falling, and the occasional dripping sound was particularly clear.

Suddenly, a sharp metal clash broke the silence, and Jiang Xie and the assassin briefly clashed, and the winner was instantly decided.

Seeing this, Huo Yijun immediately understood that Jiang Xie had successfully lured out the assassin, so he made a decisive attack and quickly approached the assassin's back.

When the assassin realized that he had been surrounded and suppressed, he immediately became furious and launched a fierce attack on Jiang Xie with all his might: "Go die! ”

Jiang Xie skillfully dodged and blocked the assassin's attack with his sword.

Huo Yijun had also joined the battle at this time, and she was in good shape, and she jumped up and slashed at the assassin's neck.

The assassin hurriedly turned around to resist, but Huo Yijun's speed was too fast, and she quickly circled the assassin's back like a ghost. Immediately after, a cold light flashed, and the assassin's sword had not yet been raised, and it had been sealed by Huo Yijun's sword.

The assassin shook a few times, and finally was defeated and fell to the ground.

Jiang Xie and Huo Yijun immediately stepped forward and made sure that the assassin was dead, and they glanced at each other with a sigh of relief, and the tense atmosphere dissipated.

Huo Yijun squatted down and ripped off the assassin's mask, revealing a relatively impressive face.

"This person is from the Huo family's boat line, do you remember the steward we saw before, and it was that person who died."

Jiang Xie also looked over, and his tone was a little heavier: "The Huo family made a move, but I don't know what the purpose of this trip is." ”

"Do you still need to think?" Huo Yijun looked back at them, "Being so sneaky must be trying to do something that people don't want to know, such as killing you and me." ”

Jiang Xie was completely sleepy, and he was a little lame when he walked because of his leg injury.

Huo Yijun looked around, the danger lurking in the darkness made her feel that this place was not suitable for staying for a long time.

"Let's go, let's go back and meet Master Chen as soon as possible, there shouldn't be anything to see ahead, and the show should be after we go back."

"Okay."

Taking advantage of the moonlight outside the cave, they helped each other through the dead woods, and after difficulties, they finally returned to the place where Chen Changsheng was.

"My lord, what's wrong with you?"

Chen Changsheng came over from there, and together with Huo Yijun, he helped Jiang Xie back and sat on the edge of the wooden box.

He half-squatted to check Jiang Xie's injury: "How is the injury?" Did you hurt your bones? ”

"No skin injuries, let's go, go back to the city."

"Yes!"

In the city of Kyushu, a remote cottage on the outskirts.

Kiyomasa and the others carried the wooden box recovered from the dead wood forest to the hut and hid it, and they did not do anything about the wooden box until the matter was investigated.

But they opened a box and found that it was a female corpse, and the other boxes also aroused everyone's curiosity.

Chen Changsheng plucked up the courage to walk over and stand in front of the wooden box with a crowbar: "My lord, do you have to pry open these boxes to see what is inside, if they are all corpses, should we ......?"

Jiang Xie unexpectedly stopped: "Don't pry, just put it here, no one is allowed to approach without my permission, open these boxes!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Yijun had already pried open all the remaining wooden boxes with a dagger, revealing boxes of skinned corpses one after another.

The scene was shocking, and the smell was overwhelming.

"Huo Yijun, can't you understand what I said? Who let you open it! ”

Jiang Xie roared loudly for the first time, Huo Yijun's heart trembled, and he looked at him blankly.

Everyone present was stunned.

After half a day, Huo Yijun came back to his senses and disagreed: "What are you murderous, these boxes are full of corpses, and your attitude is obviously that you know everything here but are still trying to hide it!" ”

"If you don't tell me the origin of these corpses, I will find out, but I want to know what secrets you and King An are hiding!"

"Master Chen, take Jiang Sizheng out to rest!"

Chen Changsheng actually had doubts about this matter, and after the order was issued, he really dragged Jiang Xie out.

"Let go of me! Are you going to rebel? ”

As soon as the door closed, the room fell silent.

The lights in the room flickered, and the atmosphere was mysterious and terrifying.

Huo Yijun was wearing white gloves with a serious expression, she took out a delicate willow leaf double-edged knife, and began to examine all parts of the female corpse in detail.

Her fingers groped softly and nimbly for the various parts of the female corpse, and her eyes glowed like those of an explorer.

Although the action is a little cold, but out of her dedication and reverence for the deceased, in his eyes, every corpse is a life that needs to be respected, but they have left this world, but they still need to be treated properly.

She meticulously inspected every part of the woman's corpse, not letting go of any trace of it.

Gently cutting, groping, sniffing, not sparing every detail, the boy examined the female corpse's mouth, observed her dentition, looked for possible wounds or marks, her eyes glittered with a smart and cold light in the candlelight.

Suddenly, she discovers an anomaly - a foreign body in the throat of the female corpse.

It was like a small sponge, dark brown in color, embedded deep in her throat. Huo Yijun carefully took out the foreign object with his tools, and then put it in a small jar and carefully preserved it.

The other female corpses were all skinned, and the flesh and blood were blurred exactly like the corpses they had seen in the caves in the dry forest.

"So, Jiang Xie knows the identities of these female corpses, what is the purpose of transporting them here, is it difficult to lure out the murderer behind them?"

Huo Yijun paced around the house, she couldn't find any valuable clues on the corpse, so she could only pin her hope on the unskinned female corpses, and these female corpses were faintly related to the human skin straw bride case.

As he was thinking, a figure suddenly flashed through the window.

"Who!"

Huo Yijun chased after him with a sword......
