Dragon Pattern Roll Set

Shen Shaoxi came suddenly, and brought some important clues to everyone, and found a tunnel.

Zhan Zhao and the others followed Shen Shaoxi into a forest.

The tunnel entrance is quite hidden, hidden in a tree.

Several soldiers cut down the tree and found that the trunk was hollow, leading directly to the tunnel.

Zhan Zhao was surprised, "Can you find all of this?"

A guard pointed to the dead leaves that had fallen all over the ground and said, "This technique is quite common on the battlefield. It is usually used to lay an ambush. Just look for a big tree that died suddenly."

Zhan Zhao nodded, that's why...

Ouyang glanced into the tree hole and frowned, "It's quite deep."

Bai Yutang took out a black jade flying locust stone and threw it down.

Shen Shaoxi listened carefully, then shook his head, "There is no water, but it is very long."

The soldiers lit the torches, Zhan Zhao picked up one and jumped down.

Bai Yutang asked Ouyang to wait on the top, and he jumped down too. Xiaoliangzi and Xiaosizi also wanted to go down, but Ouyang Shaozheng stopped him.

Shen Shaoxi also followed, and two of his subordinates followed.

After entering the tunnel, Zhan Zhao held up the torch and looked forward, it was indeed a long tunnel.

Shen Shaoxi followed for two steps and stopped suddenly.

Everyone thought he had discovered something and stopped to look at him.

Shen Shaoxi frowned slightly, and asked for a long time, "Is it haunted?"

Everyone was stunned.

The two soldiers looked back and forth—what was going on.

Bai Yutang thought for a while and asked, "What did you hear?"

"Uh... It seems that someone is walking with us, but I can't hear footsteps or breath..." Shen Shaoxi was confused.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other, and they both looked at Shark behind them.

Bai Yutang said to Shen Shaoxi, "Hold out your hand."

Shen Shaoxi didn't quite understand, but he still stretched out his hand...

At this time, ice appeared in midair... As the ice slowly expanded, a tall silhouette of an iceman appeared...

Because of the flames, Shark's appearance is clearer than usual...

The two guards took a step back in shock...

Shen Shaoxi felt that his hand outstretched in the air touched a cold hand...but it wasn't completely ice, once it touched it, it dissipated...

Shen Shaoxi opened his mouth slightly, a smile appeared on his face, he nodded, and walked forward with everyone.

Zhan Zhao asked him curiously, "What are you laughing at?"

"I remembered a sentence said by a person." Shen Shaoxi said, "A person said that there are as many invisible things as there are visible things in this world... If you want half, you have to give up the other half. "

"Sounds like nonsense." Zhan Zhao asked, "Who said that?"

Shen Shaoxi smiled, "A person who can only talk nonsense."

……

He Yihang, who was far away at the border, suddenly sneezed, rubbed his nose, and continued to read the official document with his chin resting on his hand.

……

Walking along the tunnel, Zhan Zhao picked up things all the way, they were all bricks and tiles, "Did they fall when moving those abandoned houses?"

"Are those dilapidated houses built temporarily?" Shen Shaoxi was curious.

Zhan Zhao nodded.

Bai Yutang asked, "What impression do you have of that old lady?"

"Hmm..." Shen Shaoxi thought for a while, "She has a lot of internal energy...and I don't think she's really an old lady, I'm more inclined to pretend that she's a young man."

"Can you tell if the pretender is a man or a woman?" Zhan Zhao asked.

The corners of Shen Shaoxi's mouth curled up slightly, "This is a bit difficult...but you can guess it."

"Guess?" Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were puzzled, "How do you guess?"

Shen Shaoxi touched her chin lightly, "First of all, she is not big because she was carried up the mountain by a woodcutter... According to the changes in the footsteps before and after the woodcutter carried her, she should weigh seventy or eighty catties... …makes sense for an elderly lady. And it would be more convincing if she was thinner."

"However, height and weight can be changed through internal strength." Zhan Zhao reminded.

Shen Shaoxi nodded, "So I took a chance and touched her hand."

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao knew it clearly—indeed, the biggest weakness of the bone shrinking skill lies in the hands. The internal force is high and the collarbone can't shrink the skin. Other parts can be hidden in clothes and shoes, but the hands must be exposed...so many masters simply Hands do not shrink, through the size of the hand, you can most accurately judge the person's body shape.

"Then what's the result?" Bai Yutang asked.

"The result is that the man is a short boy." Shen Shaoxi said, "I personally think there is about [-]% credibility."

Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang nodded, the murderer who killed Bian Qing and Qian Tonggan seemed to fit this description very well.

While chatting, everyone stopped in their tracks because two forked roads appeared in front of them.

Zhan Zhao frowned, "Which side to choose?"

"No matter how you go, it's just outside Kaifeng City?" Shen Shaoxi asked, "If there are tunnels in the city, General Zou should find out."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang nodded in agreement. Zou Liang still had a wolfish nature to a certain extent, and his ears and nose were also good. He did search around the city with his men and dogs before, but they didn't find any tunnels.

……

Just like that, everyone walked around in the tunnel for several hours, making marks while walking, and finally... they returned to the first fork in the road.

Several guards were panting with exhaustion, "Is this a circle around Kaifeng City?"

Shen Shaoxi nodded, "It's a pentagon."

"Isn't it a circle?" Zhan Zhao asked.

Shen Shaoxi shook his head, "The distance between the five sides is the same."

Bai Yutang was puzzled, "Why did you dig around outside Kaifeng City?"

"Based on my years of experience as a soldier." Shen Shaoxi shook his head, "No matter what the purpose is, it is not good for Kaifeng City. It is equivalent to sealing off the way out of the city. Digging a closed ditch outside is a taboo for military strategists."

By the time Zhan Zhao and the others crawled out of the tunnel, it was already evening.

At the entrance of the cave, Ouyang and the fourth son are no longer there. They probably took their children home first.

It was replaced by Zou Liang, Lin Yehuo who was dozing on a tree, and Long Qiaoguang who was "chatting" with a few guards on a tree stump.

Zou Liang and Long Qiaoguang obviously had a very good relationship with Shen Shaoxi. They hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they both asked about Bianguan and He Yihang's situation.

The three brothers walked in front, and the guards followed behind.

Zhan Zhao asked Lin Yehuo, "Where are the fourth sons?"

Lin Yehuo looked at Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, and said, "You guys only went down for about two hours."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang nodded -- and then?

"Then just now, the Imperial City Army came to say that there was another murder case in Kaifeng City. Ouyang went, and Xiaosi and Xiaoliangzi followed him. Gongsun is doing an autopsy."

Lin Yehuo shrugged at the two of them, expressing helplessness.

Zhan Zhao frowned, "Someone died again? Who died? Is it related to Gaohe Village?"

Lin Yehuo chuckled twice, "It doesn't matter, Bian Fangrui is dead."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang stopped at the same time, looking at Lin Yehuo in surprise—what? !

"How do you think that kid died?" Lin Yehuo raised his eyebrows.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, and said in unison, "The head of the golden pot?"

Lin Yehuo nodded, "That's right."

"Then Bian Sheng still didn't show up?" Bai Yutang asked.

Lin Yehuo shook his head, "Just now Nangong Ji also came to hang around, probably because Zhao Zhen already knew about the people coming from the northwest border. It is said that the palace sent hundreds of spies to search for the night before last night. Kaifeng city is so big. Bian Sheng found even a fly."

"Is he not in Kaifeng?" Zhan Zhao asked.

Lin Yehuo made a grimace wrinkling his nose and shaking his head.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang knew what was going on—or did something unexpected happen?

After entering the city, everyone went to the "scene" of the murder, Taibai Residence.

This is the second homicide case in Taibaiju. The shopkeeper and the waiter shook their hands at the door. There is a busy market near Taibaiju, and there are three floors of people watching.Whether you are from the Jianghu or not, you have heard of Gaohezhai's name. This is one of the best sects in the Jianghu, and naturally has the best masters in the Jianghu!Why were these masters killed one by one?And how powerful is the murderer this time?Actually committing crimes in Kaifeng City three times in a row!

When Zhan Zhao arrived, he found that the Imperial City Army had surrounded Taibaiju, and no one was allowed to enter except those from Kaifeng Mansion.

People from Gaohezhai gathered at the door, naturally Bai Mutian was there, and Bian Si was standing beside Bai Mutian.

When Zhan Zhao walked past them... involuntarily, he was attracted by Bian Si... Originally, he should pay attention to Bai Mutian's expression, but after taking a look at Bian Si, Zhan Zhao didn't care about Bai Mutian anymore.

If I'm not mistaken, Bian Si is Bian Fangrui's son... When his father died, a ten-year-old son would have to cry at least?But at this moment, Bian Si was not even crying, his eyes were not even red.He just stood beside Bai Mutian and looked coldly at the noisy Gaohezhai disciples, as well as the imperial city army maintaining order... It seemed that it was just an unknown passerby who died.

Zhan Zhao subconsciously turned his head to look at Bai Yutang, which means - did you see it?Isn't it a little weird?

Bai Yutang naturally saw it, not only did he feel that Bian Si was abnormal, but Bai Mutian was also abnormal!Bai Mutian also looked like he had nothing to do with himself, one big and one small stood outside the crowd, watching the disciples in Gaohe Village excitedly.

Zhan Zhao and the others quickly walked into Taibai Residence.

At the stairs on the second floor, Xiao Liangzi and Xiao Sizi were squatting on the steps, each holding a pair of chopsticks and putting them on the stairs.

Zhan Zhao wanted to go upstairs, but Xiao Liangzi stopped him, "Don't take the stairs, there are so many bloody footprints, sir, please don't step on them and wait for you to see."

"Blood footprints?!" Lin Yehuo quickly lifted the hem of his clothes and looked at the ground... Sure enough, even in the lobby of Taibai Residence, there were several blood-colored footprints. The color was very light and incomplete, all the way to the gate. This is the murderer. Are you going out the front door?

Zhao Pu seemed to have heard the voice, so he poked his head out and took a look, "Shaoxi."

Shen Shaoxi raised his head and saluted, "Marshal."

Zhao Pu waved to him, "How is the border?"

Everyone knew in their hearts that even though Zhao Pu was usually fooling around, he was still worried... He Yihang suddenly sent Shen Shaoxi here, it was indeed a bit scary.

"Marshal, don't worry, the border is secure." Shen Shaoxi said, "It's just something else."

Zhao Pu nodded, feeling relieved.

Shen Shaoxi took out He Yihang's letter to Zhao Pu from his bosom, flew upstairs, handed the letter to Zhao Pu, and told him about a ditch dug outside Kaifeng City.

When Zhao Pu heard this, was he okay?Ask Zou Liang and Long Qiaoguang to take people to dig the tunnel to see what's going on, and then fill it with soil.

……

Lin Yehuo squatted at the top of the stairs, looked at the bloody footprints on the steps, and frowned, "Tsk... how bloody is this scene?"

The fourth son squatted on the stairs and nodded, "The room above is full of blood! It's scary."

Curious, Lin Yehuo went upstairs to see the scene.

Chao Mahan brought the little six sons and the shopkeeper over.

Zhan Zhao asks about the incident.

Little Six said, Bian Fangrui came to Taibaiju by himself just now, asked for a private room and a pot of tea, and closed the door.

After waiting for about an hour, the guests in the lobby said why there was blood on the table. Everyone looked up and found that the floor was oozing blood.The guys rushed upstairs and opened the door to have a look. The scene inside was so tragic that a few guys vomited in fright.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang went upstairs together...

As soon as I reached the second floor, I smelled a strong smell of blood.

The door of a private room on the north side of the second floor was open, Ziying and Zheying stood at the door, there was a pool of blood outside the threshold, and there were bloody footprints.

Zhan Zhao suddenly felt that something was wrong, so he jumped downstairs again.

Bai Yutang also frowned.

On the side, Zhao Pu asked him, "Have you noticed something is wrong?"

Bai Yutang nodded.

Listening downstairs, Zhan Zhao asked the clerk and shopkeeper, "You just said that the dead person was discovered because the floor was seeping blood?"

The buddy and the shopkeeper nodded, their faces paled.

Zhan Zhao pointed to the bloody footprints on the stairs and the lobby, "Then where did these come from?"

The shopkeeper was trembling, and said in a low voice, "We didn't see anyone go out! There were a lot of people in the lobby at that time! Those footprints appeared for some reason!"

Lin Yehuo grabbed the railing and asked, "Did you, the shopkeeper, miss it?"

Huofeng just came out of the room after looking at the corpse, feeling a little disgusted, "The murderer should be covered in blood after killing someone, and then you swaggered down the stairs and went out from the main entrance, none of you saw it?"

A group of clerks and shopkeepers shook their heads, and many diners present were also gathered nearby by the yamen servants, shaking their heads like rattles, and they didn't see anyone!

The shopkeeper asked Zhan Zhao in a low voice, "Master Zhan, do you think...is this haunted?"

The guys also nodded, "Look at that footprint! It's about the same size as the little old lady's footprint."

"Is that female ghost taking her life?"

"It's terrible, how will you do business after this?"

"Are you still bumping into ghosts in the blue sky?"

The guys and diners were talking about it, and by this time this strange incident had already spread all over the city.

Zhan Zhao turned his head, frowned and looked at the footprints on the ground, this is...

"This is insanity."

At this time, someone outside suddenly spoke.

Everyone looked up and saw Bai Mutian, "It's also called illusion, and it requires extremely high internal strength to control so many people at the same time."

Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows slightly——what do you want to say? !

Upstairs, Bai Yutang also took a look at Bai Mutian, vaguely feeling that something was wrong.

At the same time, I heard Bian Si talking, his voice was clear and clear, and the child's voice was also high, "In today's martial arts, there is only one person who can have such instigmatism..."

Everyone in Gaohezhai turned to look at Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao grinds his teeth - again?Kill you!

Sure enough, Bian Si sneered, "Yin Hou."

Everyone in Kaifeng Mansion frowned—is Yin Hou hit by another arrow?

Bian Si shook his head, "No wonder Kaifeng Mansion has not found the murderer for so long."

There was instant silence all around.

Zhan Zhao gritted his teeth into pieces - meow, I can't bear it!

……

"Ah..."

In the courtyard of Kaifeng Mansion, Yin Hou, who was playing horse hanging with Tianzun, Master Wusha and Yao Changtian, suddenly sneezed.

Tianzun touched a card and suggested, "Should we go to Taibaiju for dinner after this round? Want to eat fried crab."

Both Yao Changtian and Master Wusha nodded, Yin Hou rubbed his nose, why did his ears feel hot all of a sudden...
