After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 748 Attack on the patrol
He pointed at this person and said, "Why, why are you here!"

It turns out that I read it correctly a few days ago!
"Come back to do some errands, and then visit old friends." He Lingchuan said with a smile, "Look for a quiet place to talk?"

Liu Baobao has calmed down: "Follow me!"

The boy walked ahead holding a lantern, and the two followed behind, chatting as they walked:

"How has Heishui City and Hongya Road been doing over the past year?"

"Oh, it's not good, my family's business has plummeted!" Liu Baobao hurriedly complained, as if returning to the previous dialogue mode.

"Yes, then I have a good job for you." He Lingchuan patted him on the shoulder, "By the way, I'm leaving soon, but I'll come back in a few days."

The two walked through the main street, and Liu Baobao subconsciously glanced north.

The crazy sand season ended suddenly, and this one suddenly appeared.

Is there any connection between the two?

Hey, he shook his head, thinking about something.Such a major weather turning point, what can it have to do with a person?
\\\\\

March this year was unusually hot, and the vernal equinox had just arrived, and I was sweating every time I moved.

At this time of year, the old trees on the side of the road have not sprouted yet.

Under the bright sun, as soon as a Yuheng city patrol arrived at Manjia Village, they hurriedly stopped to go to the post station.Without being led by anyone, the horses flocked to the water tank to drink greedily, while the twenty guards went to rest under the shade of the trees.

The post station put a few tables under the big tree, and besides white cold water, it also provided bitter refreshing herbal tea.If you are willing to spend a few more big coins, there is also Bomi Water for drinking.

Aphid honey and honey were originally products of Panlong City, and they were also one of the most common goods on this trade route.

As soon as a person sat down, the sweat on his forehead flowed into a stream.A few guards simply went to the well to fetch water, and poured a bucket from head to toe, only then did they recover.

"It's so hot." Someone complained, "It's going to be terrible in March, and it's really midsummer and July, so you can't dry it in the sun?"

A few others laughed and said: "Miao Mingming, isn't your cousin in the city guard? I heard that he does things for the commander-in-chief every day. Why don't you ask him to give you a post so that you don't have to be exposed to the wind and the sun every day, like us? Kuhaha together."

Miao Mingming glanced at him: "If you want to go up, you have to earn military merit. Just sitting in a room in Yuheng City, how can you have a chance to earn military merit?"

"You're quite ambitious, kid." The companion laughed, "But the robbers on the commercial road don't come out very often recently, so if you don't catch them, you won't get any credit."

Killing the enemy and surrendering the enemy is the only merit. They patrol around on time, only hard work and fatigue.

Everyone chatted for a while, laughed a few times, and were very relaxed. Miao Mingming suddenly said, "Where is Xingwu? He has been squatting in the pit for a quarter of an hour, why hasn't he come back?"

"Who knows, maybe his legs are weak. Tell him that there is something wrong with the mushroom soup he drank in the morning, but he still doesn't believe it." Everyone laughed again, and someone immediately said, "I'll call him."

But before the laughter was over, there was a sudden sound of breaking through the grass.

Whoosh, whoosh, more than twenty arrows were shot, half of them missed, and the rest were shot on the guards!
Several guards fell on their backs, and the one who just stood up was the most unlucky, with an arrow piercing through the eye and through the skull.

"Enemy attack!" The patrolling guards were shocked and angry, and greeted them with weapons.

There was a rustle in the grass, and a group of bandits came out, and the number exceeded a hundred!
Miao Mingming roared: "Quickly enter the station!"

We are outnumbered, so we have to find a good cover quickly.

But the guest sitting on the table at the back suddenly bullied him, strangled his neck with one hand, and stabbed his waist and ribs with the other quickly!
In an instant, four or five people at the table drew out their weapons and joined the siege.

The bloody storm at the post station only lasted for more than half a quarter of an hour.Except for two guards who waited for an opportunity to escape on horseback, the rest were lying on the ground.

On the sand, blood flowed like a river.

The gangsters put away their weapons and said with a smile: "I thought the Yuheng army was strong, but that's all!"

Someone asked again: "What about the people in the station?"

There were still postmen and merchants in the station, and the smart ones just slipped away to the back of the mountain, and there were more than a dozen huddled inside and outside the station, shivering.

The person who plotted against Miao Mingming glanced at them: "Don't worry about it."

……

A day later, it was still Manjia Village.

Both He Lingchuan and his adjutant Chao Gan stood outside the station, looking up at the long pole beside the manger——

Eighteen human heads are tied to the pole, fluttering in the wind.

The head of the Yuheng city patrol.

In just one day, the head was dehydrated in the sun, and his expression became more ferocious, but this did not prevent the family members of the deceased from recognizing their relatives.

Chao Qian couldn't take his eyes off, He Lingchuan asked him: "Is it really your relative?"

"Nephew, a child of my cousin's family." Chao Qian was very sad. "Although he is a distant relative, this child is motivated and came to Yuheng City to join the army on his own. He didn't ask me to open the back door and volunteered to patrol the front line."

He sighed: "Oh, I don't know how to explain it to my cousin."

"Heroic in battle, generous shirt." He Lingchuan pressed his shoulder, "Don't worry, this revenge will definitely be avenged."

Chao Qian subconsciously nodded.

He Lingchuan knew that he only took this sentence as words of comfort.

Never mind, he walks the talk, and soon everyone will know.

Then he walked into the low courtyard behind the post station, where the bodies of the guards were all parked.

The smell of the dead body was terrible after leaving it for more than ten hours in such hot weather.

No one at the post station dared to approach, but He Lingchuan looked normal and began to examine the wounds on the body.

Most of them were wounded by knives, guns and arrows, which is very routine.

But two people had special wounds, with three blood holes in a row.Liu Tiao also leaned over to take a closer look: "Well, could it be that the claws hurt this?"

There are quite a few warriors who use Qimen weapons, and some like to hurt people with hooks and claws.

But she immediately overturned her judgment: "No, the claw should be a scratch, it won't go so deep."

Claws that imitate bears, wolves and tigers will cause the appearance of skin and flesh turned out, not so straight and deep.

He Lingchuan stretched out his palm silently, making it look like a claw, and poked in from the wound.

Although there are discrepancies in size, the shapes basically match.

"Using fingers directly, no, digging with claws? Is this a monster?" Liu Tiao was surprised, "But the witnesses at the station said that the attackers were all human beings."

He Lingchuan looked at another corpse, which also had the same wound, and there was a small hole in the neck.

Of course the blood had solidified, he stared at the wound for a long time, and then said to Liu Tiao: "Take all the heads in, and give them back the whole body."

"Yes."

It took a lot of effort to compare, and the people put the eighteen heads back to their original bodies.

He Lingchuan found the corpse that he had paid attention to earlier and took a look: "No, this one is misspelled."

Everyone had no choice but to endure the smell of the corpse and spliced ​​it again.

Eighteen human heads have to be re-aligned with the neck incision, which is not easy.

It was He Lingchuan who found it first.

When he put the head back into the original body, Chao Qian just came in: "The witnesses outside have all recorded their statements...Obviously?"

He looked at the body in front of He Lingchuan: "This is my cousin, Miao Mingming. My lord, is there anything wrong?"
