After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 23
There is a half-peak in front of it, the mountain is barren, and there are only a few sparse bushes in the corners.However, pedestrians who come here for the first time must be attracted by their eyes because of its unique shape:
The upper part of the mountain is gone, but it doesn't look like a weathered fracture, because the fracture is abnormally flat, as if someone swung a knife obliquely and split it in half!
That cut was abrupt and firm.

You must know that it is the entire peak, with millions of tons of rock and soil, it is not like a clump of bamboo that can be cut down easily.

There is a local legend that in ancient times, immortals fought here, and they cut off the mountain peak with a single sword, so this broken peak is also called "Immortal Cut".

Such legends are everywhere in this world, and it is difficult to prove them.But He Lingchuan's original body really climbed up to the Immortal's Chop a few years ago, and saw with his own eyes that the fracture was smooth and smooth, and there was not a single unevenness in such a large area.

Whether it is artificial or not is incredible.

Sun Fuping stared at the half-peak, as if feeling the ferocity and sharpness of the sword that remained until now, and he let out a long breath after a long time: "The way is endless."

Turning forward and passing the mountain depression, there is an old Populus euphratica standing alone on the side of the road, and two people are hanging under the dry and hard branches.

The wind is blowing and people are shaking.

Under the tree, many pedestrians watched, pointing and whispering.

Sun Guoshi's team approached and took a closer look. There were two white boards hanging on the body, with "Li Shang" and "Reciprocity" written on them respectively.

The faces of Nian Songyu and Sun Fuping changed instantly. Their eyes were sharp, and they could see a transparent sign pinned to the lapel of the corpse with the word "Donglai" on it.

The guards of Donglai Mansion who were sent to track down the Xishan Sand Leopard, two of them went missing in Heishui City.Sun and Nian knew about this because they assigned the manpower.But at that time, the whereabouts of the sand leopards had already appeared, so they did not investigate.

Now, these two people have turned into corpses, lying on the road they must pass.

Nian Songyu could tell at a glance that the two died after their necks were broken and they were tortured before they died.

Sun Guoshi saw that his face was flushed and the veins on his neck were bursting, so he quickly pressed his shoulders: "Don't be impulsive! Isn't this expected?" The two guards have been missing for a long time, and our side has already deduced the possibility of their death.

"The manpower in Donglai Mansion was arranged by us, and this bastard will take revenge on us!" Nian Songyu gritted his teeth.If you kill a Harrier by yourself, the other party will kill you two as revenge.

After all, Donglai Mansion was too far away from the frontier, so Da Sima assigned his bodyguards to the two of them.

Sun Guoshi's face darkened: "The overall situation is the most important! Infighting is not allowed now."

"Wait until I get the Dafang Pot..." Nian Songyu gritted her teeth, knowing that He Lingchuan had figured out that she would still rely heavily on the Heishuicheng army, so she couldn't turn her back on him yet.He turned his head and shouted angrily, "He Lingchuan!"

He Chunhua was shocked when he saw the dead body.Shouldn't these two be locked up in Hongbaidao's farm?
Then he remembered that his eldest son had always been reckless.

The slight restraint in the past two months does not mean that his nature has changed.

Nian Songyu called twice before He Lingchuan rode forward slowly, facing Nian Songyu's anger that was about to burst out: "Captain Nian, what's the matter?"

"Do you recognize these two?"

He Lingchuan took a closer look, secretly startled.Uncle Hao, did you let your anger out?
"Of course I don't. There are so many people coming and going in and out of Heishui City, how can I register their names one by one?" He paused. Backcountry?"

"Okay." Nian Songyu smiled instead of anger, and suddenly changed the subject, "My companion died on Hongya Road, what do you all do?"

He immediately guessed that the two guards must have been killed by He Lingchuan.This kid wants to give him eye drops, if you ask more questions, you will be ridiculed more.

It's not speculative, so there's no need to delve into it.

"If you can't take it back, you will have a sky burial." He Lingchuan shrugged, "Anyway, it won't end well, so let the creatures in the desert appreciate the gift of nature."

He Chunhua rushed to interject: "Most are buried."

"Then burial." After all, he is from the Donglai Mansion, so it's not easy to expose the corpse to the wilderness.

He Lingchuan laughed and said: "It's a small matter. Captain Nian should focus on the present first, so as not to delay the progress of the team."

Finally throw this sentence back, carefree!
Resentment flashed across Nian Songyu's eyes, and he immediately ordered Zeng Feixiong to send someone to untie the two corpses and bury them on the spot.

Of course the team can't wait and move on.

The feeling of being stared at by Nian Songyu is like a poisonous snake on the back, creepy.He Lingchuan pulled his father to slow down and walked in the middle of the team.

A man as proud as Captain Nian is of course leading the way, so he can't look back at He Lingchuan frequently, right?
"What are you doing?" He Chunhua reprimanded his son in a low voice, "Killing those two people will not help, it will only further enmity with Nian Songyu."

He didn't know that Uncle Hao killed him.

"You can vent your anger!" He Lingchuan could not help but sneer seeing him reprimanding himself as if nothing had happened, "These two people have calculated that we have no limit, so why should our son not be allowed to slap him back? Besides, he has something to ask of us, and it shouldn't be at this time Turn against us."

"If we come back alive, from now on..."

"If we return with the treasure, Da Sima will be overjoyed, why would we care about such a trivial matter?" He Lingchuan said wearily, "Father is not old yet, but he is timid."

He Chunhua thought for a while, his face darkened: "You are right, I was too cautious."

He always thought about being an official in the same dynasty in the future, especially since his family had just returned to the capital and their foundation was unstable, it would be better to make fewer enemies.

The idea may be correct, but how can this kind of mentality of being cautious and cautious in front of the powerful and dignitaries show their grand plans?
He secretly reminded himself here, and said to He Lingchuan: "Chuan'er, are you still blaming your father for dragging you on the road?"

To this question, should you answer "yes" straightforwardly, or answer "no" against your will?He Lingchuan could only chuckle: "How dare my son?"

"As a father, why don't you want your son to be safe and successful? But in this world, it's impossible." He Chunhua patted him on the shoulder, "Chuan'er, you are not young, it's time for you to experience yourself."

He Lingchuan couldn't help it: "Others practice from low to high difficulty." Only his father opened a big one for him.

The eldest son was really full of resentment, and He Chunhua smiled: "Don't blame the old man for being cruel. With you here, the possibility of us returning home safely will increase by at least [-]%. The words of the great shaman are not a joke."

He Lingchuan rolled his eyes, if the original body was really a lucky general, why did he die so quietly, and his skin was taken by him, an outsider?
But this rhetorical question can only be held in the stomach.

No matter how noisy it is now, it won't help. What's more, as the magistrate and his father, He Chunhua doesn't need to explain to him at all.
