The next morning.

Ten huge ships and one grain ship ran aground on the river beach.

The breeze blew, and on the wide river plains, the soldiers all disembarked from their boats, and the large tents were set up, and the cooking smoke was filled, and it was a busy scene.

On the river beach, several military workers held tools and surrounded the hull to check for hidden dangers.

Lu Yunzhou sat alone on the top of a hill on the west side of the plain, looking down at the continuous tents below.

He held a long sword in his right hand.

This sword is the same sword that Guan Zhongyi threw with his backhand last night in order to stop Lu Yunzhou from pursuing before jumping ship.

Lu Yunzhou carefully looked at the loot in his hand, but he was stunned suddenly--

The sword is three feet long, and this sword is not the five-foot-four-inch long fencing that Guan Zhongyi used in the Spring Festival Sword Meeting!

It turns out that he is using a sword that he is not familiar with to fight himself?

Lu Yunzhou's heart sank, and he looked at this sword carefully, only to see that the blades on both sides were covered with small pits, which were obviously bumped out of this sword when it collided with the heavy sword last night.

Although the evil sword technique in Guan Zhong is strong and the strength is great, the texture of this sword is not good, and it is still very disadvantageous to encounter Lu Yunzhou's heavy sword made of meteoric iron, but it is a pity that the fighting time between the two is too short, otherwise the sword of Guan Zhong Evil will break sooner or later!

The wind on the top of the hill was strong, blowing Lu Yunzhou's clothes to the sound of hunting.

Lu Yunzhou's face sank like water, stretched out his left hand wrapped in gauze, and gently touched these small pits one by one, and found that these small pits were evenly distributed on the sword blades on both sides, one of the pits was the largest, almost breaking the long sword at the waist, thinking that it was collided by the last blow of Fei Jian Yi last night.

Lu Yunzhou took a deep breath, his heart was extremely solemn, these small pits were so evenly distributed, which showed that Guan Zhongyi was deliberately using different parts of the sword to fight against himself, which not only showed that after the first fight with himself, he immediately clearly found that his sword was easy to be broken, but also showed --

When Guan Zhongyi was fighting against himself, he not only hid his strength and used a sword that he didn't take advantage of, but he could also be able to use it with ease and concentrate on two things under such circumstances, and carefully maintain this sword constantly!

Lu Yunzhou looked at the sword in front of him, the deep meaning in his eyes continued to rotate and intertwine, his eyes seemed to pass through this sword, and he once again witnessed the bottomless eyes of Guan Zhongyi last night before he threw himself into the water!

Yes! Lu Yunzhou was unmistakably sure of one thing at this moment--

Guan Zhongyi must have the absolute initiative in last night's opponent, and he is controlling the direction of all last night's opponents!

From this point of view, the strength of this person in charge of the evil is really unfathomable, and he is afraid that he is far above Lu Yunzhou!

It's just that with the strength of managing the evil, he should have been sure to kill himself.

Why did he release the water?

Lu Yunzhou's eyebrows were deep, and the doubts in his heart deepened.

He really couldn't figure it out, Guan Zhongyi even deliberately brought a strong bow and arrows in this attack, obviously prepared for his own light skills!

If he was so well prepared, why did he do such a self-contradictory thing?

Since he didn't come to kill himself, what was his purpose?

Lu Yunzhou rubbed his forehead with his left hand wrapped in gauze with a headache, threw away the broken sword in his hand, and watched the broken sword turn over in the air and stick it in the grass in front of him, the hilt of the sword trembling.

Lu Yunzhou exhaled lightly and looked into the distance--

At the end of the plain where we camped was a series of low hills, with rushing water on the right side and a large jungle on the left.

Lu Yunzhou continued to move his gaze to the left, but his pupils shrank suddenly!

Smoke!

A cloud of black smoke rose from the depths of the jungle, and in the clear blue sky, it was blown away by the wind, curled up into a pale gray cloud!

On fire?

Lu Yunzhou's first reaction rose in his heart, and then came a mystery that rose like smoke in his heart.

The direction of the black smoke is deep in the jungle to the left behind the hillock, that is, to the northwest of the plains.

Lu Yunzhou frowned, why did he and the others set up camp here, and the jungle caught fire? How could there be such a coincidence, could there be some conspiracy against himself and the others?

Thinking of the mysteries that had not been solved last night, Lu Yunzhou felt a thrill in his heart, and hurriedly lay down on the top of the hill, instantly sinking his consciousness into the small jade boat, striding to the cockpit, and moving the surveillance screen to the location of the black smoke.

The line of sight quickly moved to the sky above the black smoke, and then descended, revealing a ruined village scattered through the jungle in the center of the surveillance screen.

It turned out that the village was on fire!

Under Lu Yunzhou's observation, he saw that the entire village had been turned into a pile of ruins in the fire.

Lu Yunzhou didn't dare to relax, and hurriedly narrowed his vision closer, carefully inspected the village, and was surprised to find that there was not a single living person in the village.

Why is that?

Could it be that this village has been abandoned and no one lives there?

But if no one lives in it, why did such a fire suddenly ignite?

Lu Yunzhou searched carefully, and soon found that there were a few grains drying on bamboo mats in the courtyards of some houses, in the houses with burned roofs, there were water tanks full of water, the walls were still leaning on farm tools stained with fresh soil, there were half-burned firewood in the earthen stoves, there were pasty vegetable mince in the pots, there were patched scattered clothes in the rooms, and there were grass shoes in the corners......

All these traces can show that the village was originally inhabited, and that people have recently lived in it, and that these people must have left in a hurry!

Lu Yunzhou's doubts were even deeper, he didn't understand why the villagers in this village left in a hurry, why did this village catch fire, or was it such a big fire, it spread throughout the entire village, and almost every house was on fire!

If it had been because the robbers had attacked the village, there would have been corpses, bloodstains, and signs of fighting, but the village appeared to have been unharmed except for a fire.

Lu Yunzhou thought of an extremely ridiculous possibility, if all this was not because of an external invasion - this fire that swept the entire village could not have been set by the villagers who left in a hurry?

Although he felt that this possibility could not be explained at all, Lu Yunzhou still frowned and raised his field of vision, carefully searching the jungle near the village.

Those traces in the village indicate that the villagers have not long left, and if you are lucky, you may be able to find their traces nearby and find out!

Lu Yunzhou quickly pulled his field of vision, and in the jungle, he took the village as the center, radiating to the surroundings and quickly searched.

Yes, Lu Yunzhou didn't just check so carefully to probe the suspicions in this village, because he originally planned to check everything around the camp before nightfall, in case of a surprise attack like last night!

Lu Yunzhou always had a premonition like intuition in his heart, and he always felt that the purpose behind this action was not simple.

I'm afraid there will be new anomalies in the future!

Lu Yunzhou searched north, northeast, and northwest for fifty miles, during which time he also found several other villages and some semi-barren fields interspersed with jungles, but found nothing unusual.

So is the south of the village?

The closest area to the hill and campsite?

Lu Yunzhou was shocked, and quickly pulled his eyes back, and searched the jungle in the south again, but still didn't find any problems!

Could it be that I am suspicious this time?

Or maybe the fire in this village was just a coincidence?

Just when Lu Yunzhou was extremely puzzled, his eyes suddenly froze, and he saw a group of people walking on the outer edge of the jungle on the west side of the hill!
