Chapter 288: A Flock of Crows

It looked safe in the courtyard, and Gu Shenwei observed for an hour before jumping into the courtyard, when it was almost dawn.

Guan Shang was still lying on the bed, helplessly looking at the Dragon King who had only returned the next day.

Gu Shenwei cut the cowhide rope for her and took a few steps back, "I have something to ask you." ”

"And then stun me?"

"It depends. ”

The Dragon King's attitude was very serious, Guan Shang sat up and rubbed his arm, "Excuse me." ”

"You said that the impostors killed people who had a suspicion of Jinpeng Castle, what happened to the people who were killed in the blacksmith village?

"Blacksmiths, they don't have a grudge against Jinpeng Castle, it's a trick to fish in trouble, kill a lot of people, create chaos, and then take the opportunity to get rid of the real target. What the king wants to kill is a few big covers, these people control a certain industry, and their power is getting bigger and bigger, and they even secretly compete with Jinpeng Castle. ”

"The blacksmith village also died a big hood. ”

"He could be the real target, or he could be dead in vain, I can't be sure, it's a secret in the stone castle, and it's impossible for me to let me know. ”

"What do you know about Master Lianhua?"

"As far as I know, his death was not in the plans of Jinpeng Castle, because after learning of his death, the castle was very excited and surprised. ”

"Didn't the killers capture a few captives?

"I don't know, but one thing is strange, some people in the fort seem to be interested in the poison swallowed by these impostors, collect a few pills, and take away a number of corpses. ”

Gu Shenwei understood what Jinpeng Castle's interest was, this method of suicide looked very similar to Xiaoyuetang's methods, and Dubu Wang definitely wanted to figure out that Guan Shang, as a disciple of Xiaoyuetang, couldn't understand what was worth making a fuss about in this matter.

"Xiaoyuetang often concocts all kinds of poisons, right?"

Guan Shang understood what the Dragon King meant, and shook his head, "This sect is good at medicine, but there is no need for suicide poison, every disciple is loyal, even if he is caught, he will never betray the information of this sect." ”

Gu Shenwei had seen the unyielding brute strength of the women of Xiaoyue Hall, but this Guan Shang was originally a green face who would never betray, but he was pulled over by Xiaoyue Hall, "The hall master has done something in your body, right?"

"I'm ashamed, I'm not qualified to accept the hall master's divine skills. ”

Gu Shenwei snorted lightly, her trust in Guan Shang was greatly reduced, she was forced to be loyal to Xiaoyuetang, and naturally she would be forced to lie.

"Take me to the hall master. ”

Hearing the Dragon King's request, Guan Shang looked a little surprised, "Okay, but you have to wait seven days." ”

"Yesterday you seemed to be in a hurry for me to see her. ”

"Yes, I only get information once every seven days, and yesterday was the right time, so I didn't pick it up, so I had to wait another seven days. ”

Gu Shenwei was trapped by Guan Shang's completely different statements from Lao Hong, and there seemed to be many clues, but none of them could continue to chase down.

He stood by the door and pondered, Guan Shang sat motionless on the edge of the bed, his eyes fixed on his narrow knife, which was placed on the table a few steps away, and he could catch it when he got up, but she didn't dare to make this action in front of the Dragon King.

"You're free. Gu Shenwei suddenly said that Guan Shang was no longer useful to him.

"I can help the Dragon King. ”

"Nope. Gu Shenwei directly refused, he only needed information, not help.

Guan Shang stood up, picked up the narrow knife on the table, and cautiously passed past the Dragon King, "In seven days, I will tell the hall master about the Dragon King's intentions." ”

Guan Shang disappeared into the last touch of the night, and now, like the Dragon King, she is hunted by Jinpeng Castle and must find a safe place to hide.

Gu Shenwei followed far behind.

For those who are familiar with the situation, it is like a deep forest, with a small number of unmonitored or weakly monitored areas, intermittently forming forest paths.

Gu Shen knew about these paths, and Guan Shang also knew about them, so he could judge the route she was walking in advance and follow it from a distance, if it was in the chaotic southern city, he had to get close.

Guan Shang returned to Bodhi Garden.

She is either very clever and hides in an absolutely unexpected place in Jinpeng Castle, or she has a ghost in her heart and reports the situation to her master after deceiving the Dragon King.

Gu Shenwei didn't follow up.

He took the risk of using the killer waist card of the Guan Shang again, went out of the city through the east gate, hired a horse outside the city, rode it around the nearby alleys, and after making sure that there was no stalker behind him, he accelerated and galloped towards the southern effect area.

There is a small hill in the south of Biyu City, which is not too high, covered with rocks, and only a few handfuls of weak grass can grow in the rainy season, and the residents of Biyu City call it Samsara Mountain.

This is the place where the corpses are dumped, but any unclaimed corpses will be carried here for hastily burial, and many times there is not even a layer of floating soil on the body.

Gu Shenwei saw a large flock of crows flying up and down from a distance.

Jinpeng Castle was interested in the poison swallowed by the suicide, Gu Shenwei initially thought that Dubu Wang wanted to dig up the traces of Xiaoyue Hall, but after thinking about it, he felt that he couldn't draw conclusions too early, maybe there were really some clues hidden in it, so he also wanted to check it.

Those who commit suicide by swallowing poison will be thrown to the mountain of reincarnation.

Gu Shenwei changed his mind after seeing the crow, turned his horse's head, and galloped towards the southern city.

His luck was good, and he had just run a short distance when he caught up with a carriage.

There were several corpses in the car, and the two drivers covered their faces below their eyes with black cloths, but they were wearing shabby cotton jackets, which looked nondescript, like extremely clumsy imitations of the killer.

They are corpse givers, not interested in killers, and covering their faces is to prevent the smell of corpses, and second, they are unwilling to show their true faces, after all, this is not a profession worth showing off.

The strange knight offered to go with him all the way, and the corpse giver was very surprised, often paying for them to dispose of the corpse as quickly as possible, and no one ever wanted to watch them at work.

Twenty taels of silver and a flashing killer waist card solved all doubts.

The crows were very familiar with the corpse givers, and flew with excitement and noise, and some even landed impatiently on the cart.

The corpse deliverer waved his horsewhip, drove away the hungry birds, threw a few corpses on the side of the road, and symbolically shoveled a few shovels of earth and threw them on top of them, and then prepared to return to the city.

"The soil is too hard in winter, so that's the way it can be. One of the corpse deliverers explained to the knight.

The knight's face was gloomy, and the corpse messenger was shocked, and he hurriedly drove down the mountain, and he didn't dare to ask more, until he walked a long way, and looked back with his partner to analyze the knight's purpose of coming to the reincarnation mountain.

The crow is not afraid of the living, and as soon as the corpse giver left, it fell on the corpse like a black cloud, almost flying close to Gu Shenwei, and two of them even dared to peck at the ears of humans.

Gu Shenwei pulled out the Wufeng Knife and slashed through it, and several crows fell to the ground, but it did not affect the appetite of the other birds at all.

He urged his nervous horses, and instead of descending the mountain, he galloped higher, where there were no roads but piles of rubble.

Three ambushers burst out of the blue, pounced on their prey like sturdy lynxes.

Gu Shenwei jumped into the air, his black cloak spread out, like a huge crow, the first knife cut someone's throat, and the second knife stabbed into another's heart.

That's when he landed.

The third ambusher pounced, looking at his companion's corpse in disbelief, as if he understood something, but before he could make a move, the black knight had already rushed up and choked him by the throat.

Gu Shenwei forced one of the most famous ambushers to spit out the poison, took out a cowhide rope from his arms, tied his hands and feet, and pushed him to the ground.

The nearby crows tilted their heads, their eyes flashing with greed.

"I'm not going to say anything. The captive's eyes were slightly flustered, but his tone was still tough.

"Let them ask you. ”

Gu Shenwei led the horse back slowly, and the crows were encouraged, bouncing on the ground to get close to the humans whose hands and feet were tied.

The first crow jumped onto the human's chest and pecked it lightly in the face, followed by more than a dozen crows at the same time.

The captives screamed violently, their bodies writhing desperately like fish thrown ashore.

The crows scattered and swarmed up again.

"I said, get rid of them!"

Gu Shenwei rushed into the flock of birds, the Wufeng knife turned quickly, and there was an extra piece of bird corpses on the ground, and the rest of the crows finally felt the danger, avoided it from a distance, and hissed in dissatisfaction.

Gu Shenwei wanted to thank these birds, and it was the crows that flew up and down that allowed him to guess that there were living people on the mountain from a long distance.

The captive's face was bloodless, "You are the Dragon King?"

Gu Shenwei nodded.

"Hehe, I'm dizzy, huh? Let your crow come, I'm not afraid of death, someone will avenge me." The captive, who had just begged for mercy, suddenly became emboldened again, closed his eyes, his lips moved, and whispered in a very whispered voice, looking frightened and fearless.

"Someone will pick up your shift in the evening, right?" asked Gu Shenwei.

The captive opened his eyes, but the dragon king was no longer in sight, and was greeted by flocks of blackbirds, as if spiritual, knowing that they had been allowed to enjoy their meals with impunity.

The screaming soon stopped.

Gu Shenwei let go of the panicked horses, stood next to the crows, looking at Biyu City under the winter clouds, no bird dared to approach this human.

The envoy of the Central Plains will leave Biyu City the day after tomorrow, Gu Shenwei has already heard the news, and there is only a little more than a day left for Daxue Mountain, and he must find out who is the mastermind behind the impostor before he can let the peace continue.

Killing is to stop killing, negotiating peace is to violate peace, Gu Shenwei holds the hilt of the knife and is full of confidence.

When night fell, three figures walked up the mountain of reincarnation.

One of them whistled and received no response.

The moon hung high in the sky, illuminating the ground clearly, and they found three familiar knives and three fresh skeletons.

The three of them looked at each other, and no one could speak, so they immediately drew their knives, looked around in horror, and pressed close together, stepping back, and every bird cry made their hearts skip a beat.

Retreating to the bottom of the mountain, the three of them jumped like rabbits in the wilderness, and fled towards the southern city of Biyu, looking back frequently, as if they were afraid that the crows would catch up at any time.

With those three panicked swordsmen, they couldn't find any trace of the dragon king.

The three of them fled into the peach forest of Guiyuan, which was burned into a wolf, and came to the back wall of the proud building, knelt down on one leg, and shouted in unison: "Wolf master, wolf master." ”

There was another man on the wall, with a sturdy figure, but his appearance was extremely ugly, his eyebrows were bulging high, like two horns that had been sawn in half, and the shadow cast just covered his eyes, and his hand was holding a narrow knife under his waist, and his expression was as solemn as that of a king.

More and more people appeared, some standing on the wall, some standing in the peach forest, forming several circles, all facing the ugly man, kneeling on one leg.

Gu Shenwei saw an acquaintance, Wang Cheng, the first stalker after he entered the city, and Boss Mo, who cooperated with the holy monk to defraud money, had obviously committed suicide by swallowing poison, and actually came back to life and knelt with others.

Gu Shenwei's heart was bright, and he knew who the main messenger who was pretending to be the Dragon King was.
