And what about Di Ying?

When he was talking to the guards and "escorting" Gu Lifang to walk back, he suddenly found that there were some marks on the rocks next to the official road that didn't seem to be right.

It's winter, the sky is overcast, and there are snowflakes that slowly and sporadically flutter and fall to the ground. Gradually, a thin layer of snow piled up on the ground.

The official road has been trampled into slush, and on both sides of the official road, because no one disturbs it, clean snowflakes are piled up in it.

Gently conceals fallen leaves, dead grass, and boulders.

Henan Road, half of the mountains come and half of the flat, there are many mountains one after another, and the flat places are so flat that they can't seem to see the edge at a glance.

Di Ying's current location is a mountainous area.

The view is not wide enough, but the snow scene is exceptionally beautiful.

Di Ying was chatting with the guards when she saw some messy muddy traces on the white snow beside the road.

It's like two cows rolling on it and bumping into each other.

Di Ying dismounted and walked over.

The dark clouds also "smacked" twice and followed him.

When the guards saw this, they all stopped their horses.

Leap off the horse, let go of the reins, and let the horses follow the clouds on their own.

Gu Lifang didn't come down, Tang Shiyi led her horse and followed the dark clouds.

It's kind of fun.

The dark clouds followed the adults directly, and those horses, including Tang Shiyi, followed the dark clouds directly. The rest of the guards had to obediently lean on both sides, and there was no part of them in between.

Nie Bo touched the back of his head and grinned stupidly, "This is really inferior to a horse." ”

Not as good as it is.

As soon as he finished speaking, his feet followed the direction of the adult, and turned the hillside.

Then as far as the eye could see, it was a large slope and depression.

There were more than a dozen corpses on the hollows.

Around the corpse, a dozen horses were leisurely arching the dry grass and gnawing on the roots of the grass beneath the snow.

It hadn't been long since the dozen or so people had been killed, and they had all been killed by sharp blades, and there had been obvious fights here, and blood was splattered everywhere.

Nie Bo couldn't laugh anymore.

Scratching his scalp, he beckoned, "Brothers, it's time to work." The corpses were first searched, then covered with a large tarpaulin, and the corpses were placed on them one by one. ”

The brethren did what they were told.

There was something to do, and everyone stopped laughing, and they got busy in an orderly manner according to the process they were used to.

Di Ying quickly conducted a preliminary examination of each corpse.

These people are dressed like Orions, but the texture of the underwear is relatively high, and there are calluses on the buttocks and hard calluses on the inner thighs.

This is clearly the trace left by the people who live on horseback all year round.

This is the mountainous area of Nam-do...... There was no fighting.

Then, these people should be postmen of carriages and horses, or messengers of post stations, county offices, and government offices.

But neither the postman nor the messenger could use so many people at once.

And they were all killed?

Especially the messenger.

They are not ordinary people, and those who dare to act rashly are comparable to the great crime of rebellion, and they will be wiped out by all nine clans.

And a dozen of them were killed at once?

Even if it's a postman in a carriage and a horse...... There is no reason to be in one place at the same time.

Di Ying finished the initial examination of their bodies one by one, and then stood aside, watching the guards pile up the things they had found from those people.

Then check the traces of the fight left around you.

It is not difficult to see from the messy traces that when the dozen or so people rode past here, they were attracted by something to the back of this hillside.

He didn't even get off the horse, but he turned in.

Why?

Di Ying asked Peng Liang: "If I ask you to take someone and send a letter to a certain place urgently, what kind of situation will you encounter when passing through here, so that you will not send scouts, do not explore the environment, and directly lead the team to ride straight to the hillside, and then turn to such a place?" ”

The traces between the hillside and the official road should be left by these deceased people after riding horses and climbing the slope directly.

Peng Liang listened to the question and replied without thinking: "My lord, you are standing on the hillside and shouting." I can't think of any other possibility than this possibility that I could just do it when I was leading the team.

Even if you dismount to rest and want to avoid pedestrians, you will lead the horse to climb the slope and go around, instead of directly forcibly driving the horse to climb.

The slope is still a bit high and a little steep.

Of course, if you hear an adult in distress behind the slope, we will also ride the horse directly up the slope. Other ...... No way.

Even if His Majesty greets us on the slope, we have to dismount and salute first. ”

"There's another possibility."

Fang Bin added: "If it is an adult and your family members shout 'help' on the hillside, we will also rush." ”

"No, it won't."

Nie Bo replied to him: "Unless the adults are standing there safely calling us, if we shout for help on the slope, whether it is the adults or their families, our first reaction should be to directly slap the horse and sweep it."

Peng Tou'er will be the fastest. After all, in an emergency, none of us will wait for the horse to climb that slope, which will delay things. What's more, there is snow and slippery, what if the horses slip under their feet? ”

Fang Bin nodded. He admits that this time Nie Bo was right.

Di Ying glanced at Fang Bin, then looked away, and then asked everyone: "Then let's assume that the person standing on the slope at that time and beckoning this group to climb the slope was their master and the like."

Then they drove their horses uphill, and then into the hollows, and dismounted.

It must have been an attack after dismounting, as the horses were not injured.

When they had dismounted, they drove their horses away to graze, and they all gathered themselves to their masters, or to those who could call them, to speak, to rest, or to obey orders.

It should be a break.

Here, one side is crushed into a lump, a lump, like a straw circle mark for the butt to sit on.

Based on these imprints, it is speculated that they must have been sitting here for about half an hour before they were attacked.

Their resistance was not fierce.

There are scars of fighting, but not fierce scars. And they were slain by the slopes of the hills on either side.

It's fast. It was so fast that they couldn't react in time, and they only had time to draw their knives to parry, and they died in a hurry. That is, in the middle of the volt.

Look at the dead man. This man must be a good kung fu, and the tip of his spear is stained with blood. It should have been stabbed by the enemy and injured the opponent.

Why do you say it's just hurting? Because judging from the amount of blood left on the tip of this spear, the first is not deep enough, and the second should only be pierced into the arm of the incoming enemy.

The extent to which blood is splashed on the tip of the gun is therefore thinner and lighter. ”
