Chapter 97: Poplar Village

And the trident halberd An Guogong only uses it as a last resort.

The scratch was clearly used when he fell off the cliff to stop him from falling too quickly.

"Let's go to the bottom of the cliff."

Chu Yunjin immediately instructed the secret guards, this cliff is not very high, two or three zhang look, according to An Guogong's kung fu to fall from here, and there is a three-pronged halberd as a resistance, and if you fall, you will not fall to death.

Such a discovery made Chu Yunjin very excited, hoping to find some useful clues below, and even more hoping that An Guogong was not dead.

So Chu Yunjin and the four secret guards went around to the bottom of the cliff.

At the bottom of the cliff was a valley, the bottom of which was full of gravel and low bushes, but there was no trace of it.

Chu Yunjin didn't rush out to find it, but flew up the cliff with light skills, he looked at the scratches made by the three-pronged halberd, basically there were scratches intermittently from top to bottom, which showed that An Guogong fell from here, and he must have been alive at that time.

Chu Yunjin took a deep breath, he came down from here alive at that time, and there must have been a chance to escape, but I don't know if he escaped.

He looked around, and then asked the two guards to go out from the other end, and he and the other two guards went out from the other end.

After Chu Yunjin searched out, what appeared in front of him was a desert.

This is the Mobei Desert, and at the end of this desert is the North Underworld.

This desert is relatively wide, with a radius of several hundred miles, and if someone enters the desert on foot and does not have enough water on their body, they will definitely be trapped in the desert.

Chu Yun thought carefully, An Guogong should not enter the desert, he knew very well the consequences of entering the desert, if he was not trapped and died, he would be discovered by the enemy, and he would not escape death.

So they turned around and went to the other side.

The two secret guards on the other side also came to the end, at the end of this side was a lake, the lake was not very big, after they found out, they hurriedly went back to report to Chu Yunjin, and they met halfway, and the dark guard immediately explained to him.

After Chu Yunjin knew that it was a lake, he hurriedly sped up and ran over, it was indeed a lake, and the water in the lake was crystal clear, so it was clear what was there.

They rounded the lake and saw nothing out of the ordinary.

Then Chu Yunjin looked at the poplar forest next to the lake, poplar forest is not uncommon on the Gobi Desert, the poplar forest here is not dense, there are a few relatively large poplar forests standing sparsely, it is impossible to hide people in it.

So he led the guards into the poplar forest, and then searched all the way.

Not far from the poplar forest, I unexpectedly saw a small village here.

"Master."

The four guards looked at him, waiting for him to come up with an idea.

"Go in and have a look."

The four guards nodded and walked towards the village.

There are also poplars all over the village, and each house built is backed by a large poplar tree.

When the people of the village saw a stranger entering the village, they immediately became alarmed.

This village is called Poplar Village, which was originally very large, basically isolated from the outside world, and lived a life without fighting, but five years ago there was a war not far from here, and the village was discovered and nearly half of the villagers were killed by soldiers from the Northern Underworld.

Now the villagers are very vigilant when they see strangers entering the village.

Chu Yunjin and the others were wearing the clothes worn by the common people of Dongchen Kingdom, and they were also dressed as hunters, and when the villagers saw them like this, they still did not reduce their vigilance, and after the villagers saw it, they hurriedly ran to report to the village chief.

The village chief knew about it and ran out, and when he saw Chu Yunjin and the five people, he immediately stopped them.

The village chief asked in a deep voice, "May I ask who you are and how did you come to our village?" ”

Chu Yun bowed his hand to the village chief: "Presumably you are the village chief, that's the case, we are here to hunt, and we accidentally got lost and broke in by mistake, and we just asked for directions." ”

The village chief looked at the bows and arrows behind them, and it looked like they were hunting.

There are indeed many people outside Huyang Village who come to the Gobi Desert to hunt, don't look at the bare Gobi Desert, but the pheasants, hares, and pigs inside...... Some game with relatively small attack power is actually quite a lot.

"Where are you going?"

The village chief still did not let his guard down.

Chu Yunjin: "We want to go back to Mobei City." ”

"It's so far, how did you come here from Mobei City to hunt?"

The village chief was suspicious, looking at Chu Yunjin and the others, the eyes of the people were very unkind, Mobei City is almost a hundred miles away from here, and there is still an army stationed in Mobei City, ordinary people will not come here, only people dozens of miles away will come here to hunt.

But where did Chu Yunjin know this, although he said that he had been in Mobei City for more than twenty years in his previous life and present life, he had never been here, and he had been staying in the military camp honestly, only wanting to make meritorious contributions and then return to the capital.

I don't want to expose them all at once that they're not hunters.

With a wave of his hand, the village chief told the villagers to quickly hide.

Then the village chief asked sharply, "Who are you?" ”

Chu Yunjin walked into the village chief and looked directly into the village chief's eyes: "The village chief doesn't have to be afraid of what bad people we are, we are here for the war five years ago." ”

The village chief became even more vigilant, and hurriedly took a few steps back, looking at Chu Yunjin with a very fierce gaze: "Who are you?" Five years have passed since that war, and things are long gone. ”

Five years ago, many villagers died in the war, but they also saved many wounded soldiers, all pulled out of the pile of dead people, and one from the lake.

But the wounded soldiers left when they were healed.

Only the person who was rescued from the lake was strange that he did not return to Mobei City, but entered the desert.

Chu Yunjin: "I'm here to find someone, presumably the village chief knows some inside information, and I hope the village chief can tell the truth." ”

From the village chief's eyes, Chu Yun believed that the village chief must know something.

It's so close to the battlefield that someone must have witnessed the war, and saved a lot of people.

None of the 100,000 soldiers survived that war, and all of them were killed, but there were always some who were still alive and must have fainted at that time.

"No comment."

The village chief directly refused, "You guys get out of here, hurry up and go south to return to Mobei City, otherwise it won't be safe at night." ”

These people are only now looking for someone, presumably someone was involved in that war, and those wounded soldiers probably did not go back, as deserters, otherwise it would be impossible for these people to find here.

He couldn't have betrayed those people, and even if they were all deserters, it would have been a last resort.

Moreover, Chu Yunjin and the others had a murderous aura on their bodies, and at first glance they were not hunters, but soldiers.

Although Chu Yunjin was dressed shabby, he looked handsome and extraordinary, and it was even more difficult to hide the noble aura on his body, he was not an ordinary person at all.
