"It must be these Manichaean people who are scheming, guessing that we will chase south along the road, they deliberately chose a road that we can't think of, Miss Ye, you see, there are still a lot of traces of cleaning axle prints on this road, it seems that this direction is undoubted. Bai Li Yu continued.

"I see. Ye Xiaoxiao nodded.

Suddenly, another dart master shouted: "Chief dart, there is a secret mark here!"

"What, and secret notes?" asked Baili Xuan.

They hurriedly walked over to take a look, and sure enough, there was an arrow carved on a big tree on the side of the road, which also pointed to the fork in the road to the west.

"How can there be a mark, could it be that Brother Yu is afraid that we won't see it, so he deliberately left an extra one?" Ye Xiaoxiao said.

Baili thought about it, shook his head, and said: "No, this mark doesn't look like it was left by the boss, the arrow just now is already obvious, he won't leave another one here, and this mark is not a plum blossom." ”

Suddenly, Baili remembered that all the marks he had encountered on the road before were on the trees, and there were no plum blossoms.

Aren't all the previous marks left behind? And who left them? Is there anyone besides them who is following these Manichaeans?

These question marks will not be answered until those who catch up with Manichaeism.

At this time, the Manichaean people thought that the suspicious array they had laid had successfully deceived the pursuers, relaxed their vigilance, and hurried leisurely, even humming a little tune.

Under the moonlight, a figure appeared faintly in front of the road.

"Who?" the Manichaeans had just relaxed their minds when they suddenly tensed up again.

"Hell, or goods?" replied coldly.

"Do you know who we are? The Manichaean crowd did not pay any attention to the people who stood in the way.

The person who came did not answer, a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and a cold light flashed in his arms.

Yu Zhong hurried all the way, and finally caught up with the Manichaeans. But in fact, he did not need to be in a hurry, because the dead would not run away.

True, all Manichaeans are dead. The corpses were everywhere at the scene, and all the people seemed to have no resistance, and they were killed in one move.

A knife directly cut their throats, and everyone was.

The viciousness of the perpetrator is beyond imagination. This is a knife that only a professional killer can do so quickly. The murderer killed all the people, but did not take the goods.

All the goods were still quietly placed in the car, and none of them were missing.

The night was very quiet, and he could only hear Yu Chong's own heartbeat, and it was the first time he had seen such a bloody scene since he left the house and roamed the rivers and lakes. Even the air seemed to be filled with a fishy smell, which made him want to gag for a while.

When they arrived, Yu Zhong was sitting quietly with his back against the tree, his eyes full of desolation, and he couldn't say a word.

"Boss, are you alright? Bai Li asked with a hand gently on his shoulder.

Looking at the corpses all over the ground, the originally bright red blood had dried up at this time, converging into a black river. Ye Xiaoxiao suddenly felt a twitch in her stomach, and vomited.

Many dart masters also felt unbearable and rushed to the side of the road to vomit.

"You go and check to see if the goods are missing. Yu Zhong replied in a low voice.

"It's been checked, it's not missing, it's all here. Who killed these people?" asked Baili Xuan.

Yu Zhong shook his head.

"Boss, did you leave us any other marks on the way?" Bai Li asked suddenly.

"No, what's wrong?" Yu replied.

"Along the way, we found a number of arrowheads in the trees on the side of the road, which also guided us to chase the Manichaeans. Do you think he did all this? Bai Li said.

"Although they hijacked the dart cart, they didn't deserve death, and if I could have been a little faster, maybe it wouldn't have been like this. Yu Zhong said with desolate eyes.

"Boss, don't be sad, it's not your fault. Baili Shu comforted.

They all have the same question mark in their hearts, who did this, and since it is not for the goods, why did they do things so desperately.

At this time, the Red Gang also arrived and were observing not far away.

"Hall Master, what should we do now?" the Red Gang disciple asked.

"The helper explained, let's not clash head-on with the people of the Baili Dart Bureau, I originally thought that this goods were in the hands of the Manichaean people, and we could take the opportunity to snatch it, but I didn't expect them to be so cunning. The hall master of the Red Gang replied.

"It's a pity that they are smart but they are mistaken by cleverness, I didn't expect the praying mantis to catch cicadas and yellow finches behind, so many people, there was not a single live mouth left, I don't know who it is, so vicious. The Red Gang disciple said.

"Before arriving at Jingjiang Mansion, let's continue to observe for the time being. ”

Winter nights in the south can be so cold, too. A man stood on a high place, looking coldly at everything that was happening below, it was the eyebrowless monster, the knife in his hand was still flashing with a dark cold light, and there was a trace of unwiped blood on the knife.

It's like a curse on this shipment, and nothing good will come of anyone who sticks to it. In the past, Pu Yan, the head of the Pu family, died, Xuanyuanzi disappeared, and now there are Manichaean members who have been slaughtered.

Good things don't go out, evil things go thousands of miles, this kind of rumor spreads in the rivers and lakes, and many people who originally wanted to touch this batch of goods also put away their greed.

Yu Chong's next journey was very smooth, and he did not encounter any accidents before arriving in Yongzhou. As soon as they entered the city, a group of men was waiting at the city gates.

The group of people were all imposing, richly dressed, and armed with blades. At a glance, you know that he is a disciple of a wealthy family.

"The chief housekeeper of the Pu family in Jingjiang Mansion, Pu Huan, on the orders of the second master of the family, is here to wait for all of you in the Baili Dart Bureau. One of the leaders reported to himself. Although he spoke in a polite tone, his expression was very arrogant, and he did not look at everyone in his eyes.

"It turned out to be a person from the Pu family in Jingjiang Prefecture, no wonder he was so domineering. Ye Xiaoxiao whispered on the side.

"I've seen the big butler Pu, in the next hundred miles of dart game, a hundred miles. The rules of our dart game, if you don't get off the horse in a safe place, you can't get off the horse, and if the etiquette is not careful, please forgive the big butler. Bai Li Yu didn't eat him, and immediately replied.

Sure enough, this Pu Huan's face immediately became gloomy, and he immediately knew that although this Baili Yu was young, he was not a person to bully.

"It's okay, it's okay, the head of the dart is polite. Our second master knows that you have come all the way south and gone through many difficulties and dangers, so we are hereby assigned to come to Yongzhou to greet you. Since then, to the southwest, all the way to the mountain, with our guidance, there is no danger. Pu Huan said.

"The big butler led the way. Baili stood on his horse and said with his fists clenched.

Everyone followed the people of the Pu family all the way into the city. When the people on the road saw the people of the Pu family, they took the initiative to separate the two sides and avoid each other, which shows that the prestige of the Pu family is prosperous in the south.

Looking at Pu Huan's expression again, he seemed to be accustomed to all this, and he enjoyed this special treatment very much. To say that the Pu family has been deeply relied on by the imperial court over the years, even if an official from the south arrives, he must first visit the head of the Pu family.

With such a status of the Pu family, it is no wonder that Pu Huan, a big housekeeper, will be so domineering.

"Although I don't know who Pu Han, the second master of the Pu family, is, but the big housekeepers under him are like this, it seems that he is not much better. Baili said secretly to Yu Zhong that he had never been accustomed to this kind of dog-fighting behavior.

"Do you think these people really respect the Pu family?" Yu Zhong asked rhetorically. What he saw in the eyes of these people was not respect, but fear, and even a kind of dislike that he avoided for fear of sticking to the relationship with the Pu family.

It stands to reason that the Pu family has always existed as a bridge of communication between the imperial court and the people of ethnic minorities. It should be very harmonious with the people.

And the rumors on the rivers and lakes have always been like this, Yu Zhong remembers that even his father Yu Meixue, who is as harsh as his father, also has a lot of praise for Pu Yan, the head of the Pu family, and such a reputation should not be false.

There is only one possibility, and that is what happened in the days after Zai Puyan's death.

Yu Zhong faintly had a feeling that from now on, they would gradually get closer to the truth of the matter. From this next dart, many strange and unexplained problems will slowly unveil its mystery from then on.

Pu Huan's accommodation for the dart team is far away from the downtown and is a secluded courtyard, which is also so that everyone can have a good rest after hard work all the way. Because once you enter the mountains, there are no such good conditions.

The dart team will rest in Yongzhou for three days, because Pu Huan still has things to do in Yongzhou. After he finishes his work, he will go on the road with the dart team, and he will lead the way to Jingjiang Mansion.

Finally met the people of the Pu family, which means that their work is about to end, and the first thing Yu Zhong and Bai Liyu do is to take a comfortable bath.

"Wow, it's comfortable, it's been a long time since I've been so relaxed!" Bai Li said excitedly.

"Although you have met the people of the Pu family, don't you think that the Pu family is a little unworthy of the name?" Yu Zhong replied while closing his eyes and recuperating.

"Hey, what's the matter with us, we'll just deliver the goods, and we're done. Bai Li said.

"If that's the case, wouldn't we just hand over the dart car to Pu Huan, why did Pu Han just let him lead the way for us?" Yu Zhong questioned.

"Could it be that there is really some secret in this cargo that we can't discover, so he doesn't even trust Pu Huan!" Bai Li slapped his head and suddenly realized.

"I'm afraid that's it!" Yu Zhong nodded noncommittally.

The two were talking, when suddenly two hands reached into their buckets and stirred them.

"The water is a little cold, I'll add some hot water to you. This is exactly Ye Xiaoxiao's voice.

This startled both of them, and they shouted in unison: "Why did you come in!"
