Chapter 61: The Childish Holds the Gold
Looking at the young man who was running on the stretching roof, Chu Mu's eyes seemed to be a little more different.
The old man is dead, and only three of them survived.
And this young man, if he remembers correctly, was one of them.
As for why this young man didn't use such a means when he went into the mountains to encircle and suppress before, this was no longer something Chu Mu wanted to consider.
What is he thinking now...... It's all on this young man.
Real kung fu makes people yearn for it, so ...... Fairy ...... Isn't that crazy?
Li Jinghong was obviously crazy, and the bloody scars did not affect him at all.
The high-minded demeanor of the past is also completely gone, the expression is hideous, and the eyes are only full of greed, staring at the young man who is running away.
Chase, run!
In the blink of an eye, it was almost disappearing into the night.
Driven by the inexplicable expectation in his heart, Chu Mu seemed to have a little less scruples, and his posture that was still grinding was gone.
Pursue!
Compared with those who have achieved qi and blood cultivation and whose physical fitness is close to inhuman inspection, Chu Mu obviously can't walk on the ground between the roofs.
Like many inspections, along the alleys of the streets, in the direction of the teenager's escape.
Nanshan Town is not big, and between this chase and escape, in just a few minutes, it has already gone out of the range of Nanshan Town and stepped into the mountains and forests surrounding Nanshan Town.
Seeing that he had stepped into the dense forest, Chu Muben still had some mentality, and he slowly calmed down.
That night, the torment in the mountains and forests, Chu Muke will never forget.
The pace slowed down slightly, and the patrols beside him poured into the dense forest one after another, and Chu Mu also followed, unhurriedly.
The mountains and forests were dark, but the shouting and shouting sounds from time to time also pointed out the direction for the pursuing patrols.
"Boom, boom!"
Just stepped into the mountain forest for more than ten steps, Chu Mu was still cautiously looking at the surrounding environment, and a sudden roar sounded in the dense forest in front of him.
Chu Mu subconsciously looked at it, but saw the sky-high flames surging, the air waves sweeping, and the billowing smoke and dust came to his face.
The thick smell of gunsmoke also poured into Chu Mu's nasal cavity one after another.
"Gunpowder? Explode? ”
Chu Mu was stunned, and subconsciously looked around, if it weren't for the patrols around him, the dense forest would not have changed in the slightest, Chu Mu even thought that he had crossed again!
Since I haven't crossed the ...... again And this gunpowder exploded?
Chu Mu looked at the surging firelight in front of him in a daze, and the smoke swept by the billowing air waves, the taste was simply not too strong.
The smell of gunpowder is naturally impossible for a modern person to be unfamiliar.
After all, whether it is a New Year's firecracker or a happy event, firecrackers are indispensable.
Chu Mu was very sure that he was not mistaken, and the smell of gunpowder on the tip of his nose was also very strong.
The fire in front of me is clearly a gunpowder explosion!
Chu Mu felt that his brain couldn't turn around.
First, the ghost appeared, which almost shattered his worldview, and now the gunpowder exploded.........
One after another, things emerge that are beyond the present time, and they seem to be two opposite things.
The appearance of the resentful ghost undoubtedly shows that in addition to his cognition, there is also an extraordinary existence of gods and ghosts.
But what about the explosion of this gunpowder?
Is this still an industrial age?
Suddenly, Chu Mu thought of the banknotes that did not conform to the craftsmanship of this era......
In this way, the appearance of gunpowder does not seem to be impossible.
But since there is gunpowder, and there is such power, why not use it on mining?
Countless doubts came to his mind, but obviously, at this time and now, Chu Mu couldn't afford to think too much, the swept air waves surged, and under the fire, Li Jinghong, who was rushing to the forefront, and many extraordinary inspections, seemed to be uncertain about life and death.
Not to mention, the possible crisis after such an ambush.
Chu Mu pulled out his knife and looked around vigilantly, although the knife can't kill ghosts, it can still kill people!
can be vigilant, but there is no movement around except for the scattered fire and smoke, and the explosion of broken flesh and blood clots falling to the ground from time to time.
When the surging flames dissipated, under the light of the fire, the large pits on the ground seemed to be extremely conspicuous.
Unexpectedly, under such an explosion, Li Jinghong was not killed.
His already torn clothes have turned to ashes, his shawl and long hair have become black charcoals, and his whole person is also a blur of flesh and blood, which can be described as extremely miserable.
"Thousand households!"
"Your Excellency!"
At such times, there are naturally not a few people who show loyalty, and one by one the inspectors hurriedly rushed forward, some supporting, and some holding knives to look around.
"Saltpeter...... Gunpowder ......"
Li Jinghong shook off the inspection of support, smelled the thick smell of gunsmoke, and looked at the deep dense forest, and the light in his eyes became more and more bright.
"Pass my order and order the county inspection battalion to go to Nanshan Town!"
"Order the third army, the sixth army will be transferred to the dungeon of the inspection station, Wu Shuo, you are responsible, you must take care of that corpse!"
Li Jinghong did not have the anger he should have after being ambushed, but gave orders in an orderly manner.
In the end, Li Jinghong looked at the dark jungle in front of him again, pondered for a moment, and said: "Pass it on, from now on, if you find the traces of the traitor and report it to confirm that it is correct, those who have an official body will be promoted to one level and will be rewarded with 3,000 silver, and those who have no official body will be exempted from lifelong forced labor and rewarded with 3,000 silver!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the dense forest, which was originally quite noisy, fell silent in an instant.
In the face of this unbelievably generous bounty, all the inspections were a little wooden.
Just finding a trace?
The official is promoted to one level, and the reward is 3,000 silver?
Chu Mu took a deep look at Li Jinghong, combined with his performance as a thousand households in Fengyue Tower just now, as well as the matter of digging graves and excavating corpses, there is undoubtedly a fact that is very clear.
That is, he, a thousand households, is by no means an ordinary person, and he has definitely had contact with and understood the mysterious and unknown world.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for him, a thousand households, to have so many abnormal behaviors.
"Nanshan Li Family ......"
Chu Mu silently recited these four words in his heart, just now in the Wind and Snow Building, the first resentful soul, Li Jinghong's performance is undoubtedly the most strange in this Nanshan Li family.
But what is very clear is that Li Jinghong relied on the Li family in Nanshan at the beginning, and after that, he should have discovered the weakness of the so-called resentful spirit, thus confirming that the resentful soul manipulator should not be the predecessor he thought......
And then there'......
After all, how many people can not be ill-intentioned when they are holding on to gold?
Facts, and this fact is also ......
Compared to the possible gains, such a reward seems to be really insignificant!
It's just this Nanshan Li family......
Chu Mu remembered that the travelogue he had read, as well as the geographical chronicles, all mentioned the existence of Nanshan.
Nanshan Town, Nanshan Iron Mine, although named after Nanshan, does not represent Nanshan, and is only an insignificant part of Nanshan.
Strictly speaking, the mountains and forests where he is now, and even the surrounding mountains that stretch for thousands of miles, belong to Nanshan.
And the Li family ......
Chu Mu frowned, seeming to ...... The county order is also surnamed Li?
