Real Cthulhu Running Game

   Chapter 716 Run away?

   "Damn, Shen Dazhuang has left the blacksmith village!" Rodriguez cursed in a low voice.

  According to the city gate guard's account, Shen Dazhuang left the blacksmith village alone ten minutes ago, and he also looked like he was in a hurry.

   It seems that the one who poisoned Shen Kuanglong and others should be Shen Dazhuang.

   However, Liu Xing always felt something was wrong.

   "Mr. Rodriguez, where are the caves where the goblins are located?" Zhang Jingxu asked suddenly.

  Rodriguez was stunned for a moment, then pointed to the direction outside the city gate and said, "It's in the direction in front of us, the distance should be about ten kilometers."

Zhang Jingxu nodded and said: "It seems that our guess is correct, Shen Dazhuang is likely to be the chief envoy behind the group of goblins, and now he can only seek those brothers after murdering Shen Kuanglong and others. Brin's asylum."

Rodriguez sighed, and then said viciously: "Don't worry, Lord Brave, I will arrange for my subordinates to crusade against those goblins, and by the way, bring Shen Dazhuang to justice, after all Shen Kuanglong is a blacksmith no matter what. village head."

After   Rodriguez finished speaking, he instructed his men to gather troops to fight before those goblins were ready.

   As for Liu Xing and others, they returned to the Shen family mansion to join Yin En and others, and then participated in this crusade together.

   On the way, Liu Xing couldn't help but said: "Do you think this incident is a bit strange, it is reasonable for Shen Dazhuang to do this?"

In Liu Xing's view, if Shen Dazhuang did all this, then there may be a problem with Shen Dazhuang's brain, because he did not need to do this at all, because in addition to exposing his identity, it can be said to him. No benefit at all.

Zhang Jingxu, who was on the side, nodded and said seriously: "I think so too. At first, I thought that Shen Dazhuang was doing this to frame us and let Rodriguez think that we poisoned Shen Kuanglong and others. But when I thought about it carefully, I found that something was wrong, because the way of poisoning is too crude. As long as we investigate carefully, we can find the flaws. Besides, there is no need or reason for us to poison Shen Kuanglong and the others. The most important thing is The thing is that this Shen Dazhuang just ran away like this, isn't it obvious to tell others that he has a problem?"

   Liu Xing thought so too.

"So, do you think the real poisoner is Shen Aotian?" Ding Kun said with a frown, "Judging from the current situation, if it wasn't for Shen Dazhuang who poisoned Shen Kuanglong and others, then the only person who might have poisoned them. The person is Shen Aotian, and Shen Aotian has a reason to do so, because as long as Shen Aotian framed the poisoning case on Shen Dazhuang, then Shen Aotian can justifiably become the head of the Shen family, and take over the control of a blacksmith shop from Shen Dazhuang... But Shen Aotian started with this. It must be too cruel."

   At this moment, Liu Xing and others saw Shen Aotian, Yin En and others standing at the door.

   Liu Xing exchanged a glance with each other.

  Although the three of Liu Xing now think that the possibility of Shen Ao’s world poisoning is higher than that of Shen Dazhuang, but the three of Liu Xing have no evidence at all, so the three of Liu Xing can only keep these conjectures in their minds.

   "Master Zhang Jingxu, have you found my elder brother?" Shen Aotian asked anxiously.

Zhang Jingxu shook his head and said, "When we arrived at the blacksmith shop, we found that Shen Dazhuang had already left, and then we got news from the city gate guard that Shen Dazhuang had just left the blacksmith village by himself, and he left The city gate is facing the cave where the goblins are located, so we now have reason to suspect that yesterday's theft case and today's poisoning case were all done by Shen Dazhuang, and Mr. Rodriguez has already begun to mobilize people to crusade those goblins. , and then arrest Shen Dazhuang!"

  Yoon Eun and the others showed an expression of "as expected".

   Shen Aotian said after a moment of silence, "Master Zhang Jingxu, are you going to arrest my elder brother now?"

Zhang Jingxu nodded and said affirmatively: "Of course, Mr. Rodriguez has invited our brave team to participate in this operation, not to mention that we ourselves have good reasons to participate in this operation, after all, our materials can be used by Shen Dazhuang and Those goblins were stolen."

  Shen Aotian sighed and continued to ask: "Then I will prepare now, after all, I am also a member of the brave team."

   Liu Xing hesitated, because Zhang Jingxu should make the decision this time.

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Jingxu said seriously: "Shen Aotian, I personally recommend you not to participate in this operation, because although you are a member of our brave team, you are not in the battle sequence of our brave team. , and the person we have to deal with this time is always your eldest brother, so I don't think you are mentally prepared to kill your relatives righteously."

   Shen Aotian's face showed a struggling look.

   Zhang Jingxu took this opportunity to give Yin En and others a wink, and Yin En and others stood beside Zhang Jingxu knowingly.

Just when Zhang Jingxu was about to leave with Liu Xing and others, Shen Aotian suddenly said: "Lord Zhang Jingxu, I think I'm mentally prepared to kill my relatives, because when Shen Dazhuang poisoned my parents, he was no longer worthy. Be my eldest brother, not to mention that my second brother was also murdered by Shen Dazhuang, so now I have to kill Shen Dazhuang, this inhuman beast!"

  Since Shen Aotian said so, Zhang Jingxu had no reason to refuse Shen Aotian's request to join the team.

   So, Shen Aotian went back to the Shen family mansion to get his weapon.

   Taking advantage of the time when Shen Aotian went back to get his things, Liu Xing whispered to Yin En: "Yin En, during the time we left, was there anything unusual about Shen Aotian?"

Yin En raised his brows and said with a smile, "I knew that you both thought the same as I did, and also felt that there was something wrong with this Shen Aotian, because he was more suspected of poisoning than Shen Dazhuang, especially after Zhang Jingxu said that Shen Dazhuang had already When I left the blacksmith village, I was even more sure that there was something wrong with Shen Aotian; as for what was wrong with Shen Aotian, I really didn't find anything unusual, but it was precisely because Shen Aotian didn't have anything unusual that made me begin to doubt Shen Aotian, After all, such a serious sudden change, even we would be overwhelmed, but Shen Aotian acted like a normal person, he was calmer than us, just after Liu Xing and you left, Shen Aotian was in charge of hosting big picture."

"After you left, Shen Aotian took us to find the other people in the Shen family mansion, but we quickly found those people in the kitchen, the back garden, the servants' residence and other places, and according to the confessions provided by those people, it was The second housekeeper of the Shen family mansion asked them to temporarily avoid it, and the reason was exactly the same as we thought-because Shen Kuanglong and the others wanted to invite us members of the Brave Squad, so the idle people were not allowed to appear near the living room; as for the Shen family mansion The second housekeeper has been a servant of the Shen family from a long time ago, so he has a very high reputation in the Shen family mansion, so those Shen family members and servants who received orders obeyed the orders honestly."

"Then we started looking for the whereabouts of the second housekeeper, and soon found the second housekeeper's body in an abandoned courtyard of the Shen family's mansion. The heavy blow to the back of the head caused intracranial hemorrhage, and he died and was dumped in the abandoned hospital, so we went back and asked a lot of people, but those people didn't know who the second housekeeper was giving orders; but I went to I inquired about this second housekeeper, and found that this second housekeeper has always been at odds with the big housekeeper, and this big housekeeper is a staunch supporter of Shen Dazhuang, and has always been somewhat dissatisfied with Shen Aotian becoming the next head of the Shen family."

Hearing this, Liu Xing showed a knowing smile, "In this way, this second housekeeper should be on Shen Aotian's side, because as long as Shen Aotian can take the position smoothly one day, then he can replace the position of the big housekeeper, so Shen Aotian has every opportunity to instruct the second steward to pass on false orders, and then invite the second steward to a secluded place to silence him."

"I thought so too, and I also heard from a servant that Shen Dazhuang might have sent someone to assassinate Shen Aotian. At that time, Shen Aotian had just been appointed as the next head of the Shen family. They were very angry about this on various occasions, and then one day a blacksmith shop received a large order and needed to send a batch of goods to the capital as soon as possible, but because Shen Dazhuang was escorting another batch of goods to another city at the time, So Shen Kuanglong asked Shen Aotian to **** this batch of goods, and as a result, the caravan encountered a group of bandits on the way, but the target of this group of bandits was not the goods, but Shen Aotian himself!"

"Because the bandits attacked suddenly, Shen Aotian was accidentally kidnapped by the bandits, and the **** team naturally couldn't let the bandits kidnap their own young master, so the **** team immediately started to pursue, after some time. After the chase, the bandits found that they could not escape with Shen Aotian, so they simply pushed Shen Aotian down the cliff. The cliff was about ten meters high, so when the **** team found Shen Aotian under the cliff, Shen Aotian was already seriously injured. , was in a coma and didn't wake up until half a month later." Yin En said.

   Liu Xing frowned, staring at Shen Aotian who came out of the gate and said: "So, there is a reason for Shen Aotian to be blackened because of this, but in order to deal with Shen Dazhuang, he doesn't need to drag his parents into the water, right?"

   "Then I don't know." Yoon En said with a shrug.

   Shen Aotian, who came out at this time, had already changed into a leather armor and held a short knife in his hand.

   It seems that Shen Aotian is also very clear about fighting goblins in a cave, and it is better to use short weapons.

  Since Shen Aotian was ready, Liu Xing and others officially set off to join Rodriguez.

   At this time, Rorides has gathered more than 30 heavily armed guards to gather in front of the city gate, while the surrounding passers-by are talking about it.

   "Zhang Jingxu, you are better at dealing with monsters like goblins, so how about you command the battle later?" Rodriguez said half-truth.

Of course, Zhang Jingxu knew that Rodriguez was reluctant to let go of power, so he shook his head and said, "No, no, Mr. Rodriguez should still be in charge of the battle, because if I find Shen Dazhuang at that time, I'll have to bring it with me. I've launched an assault with my team, and Mr. Rodriguez will have to come to our rear."

Industry specializing in surgery.

  Rodriguez knew that his subordinates and the number of goblins far outnumbered him in positional warfare, but it was difficult to break through the encirclement, because their personal abilities were not outstanding.

   Without further ado, Rodriguez ordered the departure immediately.

  The distance of ten kilometers is not far or near, plus the reason to maintain the formation to prevent the attack of the goblins, it took Liu Xing and others an hour to reach the vicinity of the goblin cave.

   Then, Liu Xing and others saw a small Goblin village, which looked like a human village in scaled miniature.

   However, no trace of the goblins was found in this small village.

"It seems that the goblins already knew that we were going to trouble them, so they have fled back to the cave." Rodriguez pointed to the cave beside him and said, "The entrance of this cave still looks pretty good. It's big, but it can only accommodate two people side by side as long as you walk more than 20 meters."

   As Rodriguez said, the entrance to the cave seemed to be able to accommodate five or six people side by side.

   "Mr. Rodriguez, can we force those goblins to escape by smoking?" Liu Xing said suddenly.

Rodriguez was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "Although many passages in this cave are very narrow, the total area of ​​this cave is still quite large, otherwise it would not be able to accommodate so many goblins living in it, and those goblins In order to maintain the air circulation inside the cave, Lin has made a lot of vent holes in this cave, so the method of smoking may not be effective."

   Liu Xing nodded, sighed and said: "So, we can only choose to attack?"

   But at this moment, a scout who was in charge of watching the wind from a high place suddenly ran down and said, "Lord Rodriguez, that group of goblins ran to the east!"

Ran? !

   Liu Xing and others all looked at the scout in surprise.

   "Could it be that this is a trick?" Rodriguez frowned and said, "How many goblins have you seen?"

   The scout said with certainty: "At least there are more than 500, and those goblins are carrying big bags and small bags, it seems that they want to give up this cave completely!"
