Tuoba Jue and Ling Muyun were of the same age, and the old man had an explanation, so the two quickly became acquainted.

According to Tuoba, he also traveled around like Ling Muyun, and he had no destination, but he encountered a camel caravan on the way, so he followed all the way.

As Ling Muyun guessed, Tuoba Jue was indeed the queen of the Yingchuan Tuoba clan, and he was brilliant for a while.

Now, the Tuoba Dynasty has been destroyed, and Tuoba Jue still uses the surname Tuoba and does not shy away from it, which alone makes Ling Muyun feel a lot of good feelings.

It's just that Tuoba's tightly knit brows and melancholy look like he is worried all the time.

After half a month of following the caravan, the caravan passed through the Yecheng Post Station and staged a small episode, which made the caravan rest for a while, but set off again after routine supplies.

Along the way, although a few sandstorms were avoided, it was already smooth for the camel team.

It wasn't until the Parrot Island Oasis that Hai Dongqing began to get restless and kept hovering in the air.

Even though he whistled many times, it only skimmed overhead, and never fell quietly.

"Brother Yun."

After more than a month of getting along, Tuoba Jue and Ling Muyun have almost become friends who talk about everything.

Ling Muyun was two years old, and Tuoba Jue called him "Brother Yun." ”

"Hai Dongqing's reaction was too strong, but there was no abnormality within a radius of ten miles."

"In the sand!"

"Underground?"

Ling Muyun nodded.

From the moment he entered the oasis, he smelled the smell of decay in the air.

No matter how well the smell of rotting leaves was disguised, it never escaped Ling Muyun's nose.

This kind of smell is too familiar to Ling Muyun: it is the smell of a large number of corpses being buried and dried and transmitted through the sand.

The accumulation of white bones in Dingbei City, even if they are cleaned and buried deeply, the rotten smell of the bones still comes out from time to time, taking advantage of people's unpreparedness, and burrowing into the nostrils.

"Give Old Man Liu a heads up!" Tuoba Jue was a straight man, and even a little reckless, without waiting for Ling Muyun to stop him, he opened his mouth and shouted: "Master Liu, be careful!" ”

Hearing Tuoba's reminder, the caravan men and the escort team all stopped, enclosed the camel in the middle, and looked around vigilantly.

But after watching it for a long time, except for the "chirping" eagle cry, there was no abnormality.

"Little Brother Tuoba, what's the matter? But what was discovered. The old man walked slowly to the back of the line, and there was no hint of blame in his tone.

In fact, Tuoba himself has not done anything wrong, and the merchant should be vigilant against all disturbances, and often small risks can inadvertently turn into catastrophes.

"Brother Yun said, the danger is underground!"

Hearing this, the old man stared at the ground, and then turned his gaze to Ling Muyun with a puzzled expression.

"There are dead bodies under the ground, no less than a hundred." Ling Muyun's words made everyone present gasp in unison.

As one of the few natural water diversion points in the desert, the oasis is an indispensable part of the trade route, and both bandits and officers and soldiers will deliberately avoid conflicts in the oasis.

If you lose one of these things, you will lose one.

Therefore, Ling Muyun's words aroused everyone's doubts, and the captain of the guard was the first to speak.

"Young Master Ling, I'm afraid that if you don't put a long line to catch a big fish, it's time to close the net?"

The captain of the guard didn't talk much, and he never took the initiative to speak when he was a businessman, if it wasn't for Ling Muyun deliberately stepping forward to talk, and finally ending up in a sneer, then he would definitely think that the captain of the guard was a dumb person.

"The captain of the guard has a lot of words today, is he a thief?" He kindly reminded him, but he was suspicious, which made Ling Muyun think of the post station.

"You can eat indiscriminately, you can't talk nonsense, if you talk too much, you will lose your head." The captain of the guard stared at Ling Muyun as if he were staring at a dead corpse.

"Okay, as Ling Gongzi said is true, I'm afraid there is something strange about this oasis!" The old man interjected to stop a battle of words: "Don't stop at Parrot Island today, go full speed!" ”

Ling Muyun and Tuoba Jue had no objections, but the chief of the guard was a little resistant: "Master Liu, the guards are all working hard, if you are in a hurry, I am afraid it will be inappropriate." We can't take one person's word and make hasty decisions, for fear that we will fall into a trap. ”

After the chief of the guard finished speaking, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

Mixed in the market since childhood, and suffering from the eyes of the Ling family, how could Ling Muyun not know the murderous intent contained in this look?

"Captain of the Guard, you killed the person who disappeared from the Yecheng Station, right?"

Yecheng Post Station disappeared out of thin air A guy, in his twenties.

The escort team searched for a few miles in a radius, and Hai Dongqing also patrolled for a long time, but did not find the whereabouts of the guy.

It stands to reason that there is nowhere else to go in this vast desert, and the disappearance of the man is indeed strange.

However, this is not the first time that the caravan has encountered such a situation.

Last year, the caravan also disappeared a man, and the caravan searched for a long time, but he didn't find it.

Later, on the way back from the caravan, I met by chance, and when I asked, I realized that it was the guy who fell in love with someone else's girl and became rich.

The caravan has done its best, and it will never delay the trip for too long for an inconsequential fellow.

Perhaps, this guy is talking like last time.

"Tell the truth! Don't think that if you can juggle, you will be invincible in the world! ”

The captain's eyes were even more fierce, and he had made no secret of his murderous intentions.

"There's one thing I haven't figured out!" Ling Muyun took a step back, ready for the captain of the guard to casually attack and hurt people: "What did you hear or see that made you kill the killer?" ”

The captain of the guard narrowed his eyes and glanced at Ling Muyun meaningfully.

Then put two little fingers in his mouth and blow a sharper whistle like Tuoba.

When all the team members heard the whistle, as if they had agreed, they immediately drew their knives and controlled the nearest caravan mate.

"I wanted to do it later and have less trouble." The captain of the guard threw away the long knife in his hand and asked Ling Muyun curiously, "How did you find out?" ”

"In the post station, I talk to you, and the flies on your knife will not disperse. Now that I think about it, it's human blood, right? ”

When people eat whole grains, their blood is even more smelly. Once a weapon is contaminated with human blood, it is impossible to remove the smell of blood by wiping it alone.

Therefore, Ling Muyun guessed that most of the guys were victimized, and the people who attacked them were the captain of the guards.

After arriving at Parrot Island, the guards began to scatter and stand, intentionally or unintentionally, and the posture was more like that of the enemy.

Coupled with Hai Dongqing's abnormality, Ling Muyun was sure that the caravan guards would do it in Parrot Continent, and it seemed that it was not the first time.

After listening to Ling Muyun's speculation, the captain of the guard couldn't help but applaud: "What a hero from ancient times!" Little Brother Ling, do you want to join the gang? A captain of 1,000 people, who has been working for hundreds of years, is not as good as this vote! ”

In the interval between the two of them talking, the old man slowly approached Ling Muyun and Tuobaqi, but after listening to the words of the captain of the guard, he was afraid that the two of them would be bewitched and attack him.

"Two little brothers, today, if someone Liu gets the help of the two of them and escapes the disaster, the harvest of this caravan can be divided!"

Without waiting for the two to reply, the old man said to the captain of the guard: "An guard, what I say to you also counts, if you can not harm the life of a certain family, you can take this goods." ”

"Haha!" The captain of the guard smiled a little unscrupulously: "Zhang Qiang, do you really think that your old bones are qualified to covet the treasure map?" ”

"You!" The old man's expression was visibly nervous: "How do you know about the treasure map?" ”

The captain of the guard leaned his body on the wheel of the car and replied, "What a trick of the golden cicada to shed its shell." ”
