In the middle of July, the hottest time of the year has quietly arrived, the people on the street are endless all day and night, few people are willing to go home, they would rather lay a layer of mats under the trees in their spare time, and rest for half a day than return home, the common people can only do this, and the big families moved to the deep mountains on the outskirts of the imperial capital early, where they have already built their cool manors.

And this year, Emperor Qin Li Jun didn't go to his summer resort for some reason, but he ran to the Naliang Hall more diligently, and it was no different from usual, at this moment Emperor Qin Li Jun was lying on the brocade couch in the Naliang Hall with a worried face, looking at the folds in his hand without a glance, the eunuch next to him knelt on the side and kept shaking the fan, while the queen Wei Chunyang was sitting next to Li Jun, constantly feeding the chilled plums on his plate.

After a while, Empress Wei stopped, looked at Li Jun's frowning brows, couldn't help but gently knead for him, and said casually: "Your Majesty, what's wrong today?

After half a ring, Li Juncai sighed and said: "A few days ago, I received a report from a secret agent, saying that he had discovered the remnants of Great Xia, and the widow was worried about this matter!"

"The concubine remembers that ten years ago, didn't the Imperial City Division report that the last remnants of Great Xia and Western Wu had been wiped out?

"How can it be so easy, at that time, it was just that they disappeared, Jingchun and they searched around to no avail, so the widow had to let them say so, so as to calm the hearts of the people in the world. ”

"Now that their whereabouts have been discovered again, wouldn't it be better for Taishi Xue and Yuan Dudu to join forces to arrest them all?"

"Emperor Taishang exterminated Great Xia that year, and after his father ascended the throne, he also exterminated Western Wu in the fifth year, before that, the two countries existed for nearly three hundred years, and the background is much more than that of my Great Qin.

Then he spat lightly and said: "What's more, those remnants seem to be inextricably linked to Nanping City, how can this make the widow not have a headache?

"Is the legend true?" said the queen Yukou.

......

At this moment, the war with Xiliang has gradually been extinguished, after all, no matter how powerful the country is, it will not let the fruitless war develop, not to mention that the 100,000 army is a huge expense just for people to eat and chew every day, not to mention the logistics baggage, Dingyuan General Li Gao is standing on the wall of Shuocheng at this moment, looking at the Xiliang army camp that is getting farther and farther away from Shuocheng every day, I don't know what to think, and I haven't said anything for a long time.

"General, it seems that in less than three days, all the people and horses of Xiliang will be withdrawn, do you think we should write a report and hand it in?"

"Don't rush yet, let the scouts follow closely, who knows if they will play any tricks. ”

"Whoa!"

Xuancheng has been occupied by Xiliang at this time, like a nail embedded in the territory of Daqin, so that Li Gao is in a dilemma, if it is not for Xuancheng occupied, Li Gao has enough confidence to defeat Xiliang, but now the enemy has Xuancheng as a support, with Li Gao's current strength has to defend Shuocheng, sighed and said to the herald beside him: "Invite the commander of the Inspector's Mansion Han." ”

After a while, a man in a tight brown official uniform walked into the middle hall, hugged his fists and said, "I don't know what General Li has to do to summon his subordinates?"

"Commander Han doesn't have to be polite, I just want to ask Commander Han how to deal with the details that Commander Han said some time ago?

"The suspicious people have been watched by me around the clock, but I suspect that they are not core personnel, so they do not dare to act rashly. ”

"In any case, Shuocheng must not be lost, otherwise Xiliang will commit it again, and then it will be like entering a no-man's land, I don't know what Commander Han has to do with the rest of the details?"

"As long as we send more elite men to the guards at the city gate and the military waiting office on duty at night, we won't make much waves. ”

"Okay, just do what Commander Han said, you and I will each arrange some manpower, and we will not let these meticulous works succeed!"

The darkest corner of the entire Great Qin seems to hide a huge cloud, and the lives of ordinary people have not been affected in the slightest, but among those who live at the top, they feel it very clearly, and they are also cautious in doing things, for fear of being implicated.

Time flies, the winter and summer of Xuancheng's eighteenth year have passed in a blink of an eye, everyone doesn't know what they are busy with every day, but they are busy every day, Qin Han is also like them, at the moment in a deep mountain in Yancheng and Guangping, wearing a torn leather jacket, like a savage, staring at the roe deer that was looking for food with his head down not far away, and then quietly took off a stone bow on his back.

The sharp arrow in the bamboo tube was also taken out by him, lightly put on the bow, squinted one eye and aimed at the head, and heard the sound of the roe deer screaming in the next breath, the vitality of animals in the wild is always much more tenacious, and the same is true of the seemingly small roe deer, with the arrow that has been submerged more than two inches and began to run wildly, Qin Han couldn't help but scold secretly when he saw this, and rushed out as if he was flying.

Although Qin Han's speed is also extremely fast, with his current foot strength, he still doesn't know how much slower than these four legs, and after a while, the roe deer disappeared, and Qin Han had to patiently follow the faint bloodstain step by step.

I don't know how long it took to catch up, the smell of blood gradually came from the air, Qin Han's face was happy, thinking that the roe deer had lost too much blood and couldn't continue to run, thinking like this, the pace under his feet was also much faster, and in less than ten breaths, Qin Han ran out of nearly a hundred zhang away with the smell of blood, but the scene in front of him was shocking Qin Han in a cold sweat, only to see more than a dozen dead bodies lying on the ground at the moment, each corpse was stained with blood, looking at the stiff appearance on the faces of those people, at least they had been dead for several hours, this was the first time I had seen such a bloody scene, like Shura Hell, Qin Han's legs couldn't help but be a little weakAt this time, his eyes were rolling around, for fear that the murderers would still stay in this forest.

After settling down, he began to retreat cautiously without leaving a trace, as if he was afraid of disturbing the ghosts of these corpses, and when he retreated for as many as five or six feet, he ran away without looking back, his mind was blank, but he looked back from time to time, and only after about the time of a meal had passed, he faintly saw his wooden house.

"Brother Deng!" Qin Han said breathlessly as soon as he pushed open the wooden door.

Deng Yong was arranging with another Wang Qi to protect Qin Han's Inspector's Mansion man at this time, warming wine on the stove, I don't know what the two were talking about, seeing Qin Han's hurried appearance, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "You kid let the prey run away again?" But it doesn't matter, your big brother Zheng went out hunting, and he will come after a while, otherwise if it depends on you kid, we will not starve to death!"

Qin Han was in the mood to gag with them at this moment, and said anxiously: "There are more than a dozen corpses in the forest over there, I don't know who did it, it seems that it should be today's thing!"

Deng Yong and the other person stood up when they heard the "whoosh", asked the specific direction, the two picked up the Yan Yu knife beside them and hurriedly ran to the door, Qin Han also wanted to follow together, but Deng Yong stopped and said: "When your big brother Zheng comes back, you can bring him over, now you just wait for him honestly!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared in the dense forest, and Qin Han was still very clear about his catty, Deng Yong was also afraid that something would go wrong with him, so he was not allowed to go, and the eldest brother Zheng who went out hunting was the highest martial arts among the three, and he already had the strength of the second-grade realm, so Qin Han brought him over, and after Zheng Long came back, Qin Han briefly told him what happened, and the two hurried to the dense forest.

The road went smoothly to the dense forest, there were still corpses all over the ground, but the strange thing was that Deng Yong and the others were gone, and after looking for a circle to no avail, Zheng Long walked to the nearest corpse with a solemn face.

Maintaining a half-squatting posture, he first made a general observation, and then seemed to remember something, suddenly his face tightened, and his hands gently opened the corpse's mouth, and then his face became even more gloomy, and there was no tongue in the corpse's mouth!

Then Zheng Long randomly picked a few corpses and checked them one by one, all of them were the same, none of the tongues in the mouth were complete, such a strange scene made Qin Han's scalp tingle, isn't this a fucking plot in China? Now it is alive in front of his eyes, and the next breath Zheng Long pulled Qin Han without saying a word and walked back, along the way, the two still did not find any trace of Deng Yong and the others, as if the two big living people had disappeared.

When he returned to the cabin, Zheng Long still didn't say anything for some reason, just silently cleaned up the game he had brought, and then mixed it with wild vegetables and boiled a pot of soup, with the dry food that everyone had brought before, he planned to have a full meal, Qin Han said a little strangely: "Don't we have to wait for Brother Deng and them?"

"You eat yours, if they come back, I'll make another pot, but in any case, we must leave here early tomorrow morning, because what happened here is no longer something we can solve, even if Lao Deng doesn't come back today, we must leave early tomorrow morning!"

For Zheng Long's solemn words, I don't know how Qin Han understood, I just knew that he began to eat with a "hmm" sound, no matter what was sent to his mouth, there was no pickiness before, and after he was full, he lay on the bed and began to sleep, Zheng Long was the same, the two did not communicate again, all night, judging from the movements of the two of them from time to time, sure enough, no one fell asleep, and when the eyes were dark until the morning of the second day, Deng Yong and the two still did not return.

Qin Han is not a fool, judging from Zheng Long's words before, Deng Yong is definitely in an accident at the moment, but what can he do? Even the second-grade masters feel that they can't handle it, let alone something that his three-legged cat can handle, but Qin Han still has some hopes for this, and when he left, he left a note in the wooden house, telling him where the two of them went, and then simply cleaned up and rushed back to Yancheng.

......

Twenty years later, the Inspectorate's Office officially intervened in this incident, and the corpses were transported one after another, but Deng Yong still had no trace, and at this time there was no news, and Qin Han was even more remorseful about it, why didn't he stop him in the first place? The dead person had nothing to do with him, why did he tell this matter?

Borrowing wine to dispel sorrows, which should not have appeared on Qin Han, has been like this every day in recent days, and Qin's mother didn't know how many times she scolded him after seeing it, but she still did it every day, she didn't know what was going on, so she let her son be like this, so she had to send someone to invite Tie Shou over and ask him clearly.

Qin Han was holding the wine bowl at the moment, and was sending it to his mouth bowl by bowl, his mind was already in chaos, and he was unconscious, but Qin Feng's voice came from his ears: "Brother, if you drink like this again, you will go crazy!"

Qin Han looked at Qin Feng with drunken eyes, but the wine bowl in his hand kept sending it to his mouth all the time, Qin Feng snatched the wine bowl and said, "Why are you still drinking?"

Qin Han was still speechless, seeing that he was no longer drinking, Qin Feng nodded with satisfaction and said, "Big brother, shouldn't you be stupid for staying in that deep mountain and old forest for two months?

Then he sat next to Qin Han and leaned over and said, "But when you come back this time, why don't you see Brother Deng?"

Speaking of this, Qin Han's eyes were even redder, and he tried hard to stop the tears in his eyes, but for some reason this time he couldn't stop it anymore, he fell on the table and began to sob, Qin Feng couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this scene, he didn't know what he said wrong, and he made the eldest brother cry like the little girl, but the next breath a big hand patted him on the shoulder from behind, Qin Feng looked back and saw that it was Master Tie, shrank his head in fear, and hurriedly ran back to his house.

"What are you crying about, a big man is the same as a!"

Qin Han heard the voice of the iron hand, raised his head sharply and said, "What about Brother Deng?"

When Tie Shou heard this, he was also choked and speechless, and after a while, he said, "He... There is no news yet. ”

"What the hell is going on? Why did others disappear? Ask Brother Zheng, he looks like he is secretive, and ask Lord Wang, he also made up a random reason to fool me!"

Then he lowered his voice and said fiercely: "Tell me quickly! Otherwise, the Inspector's Mansion has nothing to do with me, even if it is dead, I will admit it!"
