Maung-mei is wrong
Chapter 115 Suspicious Clouds
Surrounded by corpses, Zuo Hengqiu used his sword to pick up all the masked men's veils. They were all unfamiliar faces, each with a hideous face.
Dai Yansheng looked at Nie Yunhan, raised his head at him, and nodded his chin elsewhere: "Why don't you two avoid it?"
Zhuo Yingxian seemed to have woken up, a little embarrassed: "No need..."
"Use! He's going to do an autopsy. I don't want to see it. It hurts my eyes." Nie Yunhan couldn't help but pick him up and walk out of the woods.
He ran to the tree near the road, and then sat down with Zhuo Ying in his arms, trapped him in his arms, and strangled him tightly.
"Scared me to death, do you know?" Nie Yunhan was still in shock. Before Zhuo Yingxian disappeared, there seemed to be a big hole in his heart. After receiving Zuo Hengqiu's signal, he casually took a horse from Canghai Tower and headed for Shilipo run wildly.
Along the way, he didn't even dare to imagine what Zhuo Yingxian was facing. He forcibly cleared all the thoughts in his mind and just kept his head on the road. The last time Zhuo Yingxian was tortured by Duan Zhanmei was still vivid in his memory. He really couldn't stand it. Don't make any mistakes if you live with your own darling.
Regardless of the fact that both of them were sweating profusely, he still wanted to hug them tightly, for fear that they would disappear if he let go: "I can't act so rashly in the future."
Zhuo Yingxian cried and laughed foolishly, all the emotions accumulated in his heart were released, and it had calmed down slowly at this moment, he sat sideways on Nie Yunhan's lap, leaning on that broad chest, his thoughts gradually regained clarity .
"I wanted to tell you, but the note said that I had to go to the meeting alone. I was afraid that the other party's subordinates would be watching, so I didn't dare to tell you." Zhuo Yingxian looked up at Nie Yunhan with innocent eyes. Blinking, "I think Brother Zuo and Master Dai are watching on the roof, they can see me going out. Also, I left a mark for you on the watermelon, did you see it?"
Nie Yunhan couldn't help laughing, and pinched his face lightly: "It's thanks to you that you can carve the word 'ten' on the flesh of the melon! What if I can't see it?"
"As long as you look for me in the wing room, you will be able to see it. You are so smart, and you will definitely be able to guess what I want to say." Zhuo Yingxian took his other hand and interlocked his fingers, "Actually, it's just double insurance. That's all, I know you will be able to keep up with me."
"Just now... what did that fake Yun Xuzi tell you?" Nie Yunhan asked cautiously.
Zhuo Yingxian sighed indiscriminately: "It is said that he was sent by the Duyu people to Dayao's spy 20 years ago, but he defected at that time, and now he wants to be loyal to the country one last time, and I want to persuade you to stop. Don't fight against Haqin. I'm so stupid, Master and I have been together day and night for ten years, and I can't even tell whether that person is real or not."
Nie Yunhan lowered his head and kissed the corner of his eyes: "I can't blame you, the forest is already dark, and the other party must have imitated it deliberately, and the disguise technique is not inferior to Brother Zuo, besides, you miss Master so much, it's normal to admit your mistakes. In the environment just now, if my adoptive father stood in front of me, I would believe that he was resurrected from the dead."
"Don't talk nonsense just because it hurts me, how can the dead be the same as the living." Zhuo Yingxian said this, but he felt very pleased with it in his heart, slightly hooking the corners of his lips.
"I love you because I love you, but I'm not talking nonsense. People are bound by emotions, and it's inevitable that caring will lead to chaos. Lower your vigilance. After all, you still miss your master too much."
"Oh... just now, someone said that I was desperately looking for him from Wenzhou to Tangzhou Mansion, but I was not reconciled to being dumped, and I chased him all the way from Tangzhou Mansion to Wenzhou. I stayed by my side, and I couldn't even drive him away." Zhuo Yingxian looked at Nie Yunhan suspiciously, "Is this nonsense confusing right and wrong because you care about it?"
Nie Yunhan was startled, gave a smirk, raised his eyebrows and said, "Isn't that the truth? Want to renege on your debt?"
Zhuo Yingxian stared at him, and suddenly giggled.
"You're right, I was the one who chased you, relied on you, and loved you so much." He raised his head and bit Nie Yunhan's chin lightly, "I accept this account."
Zhuo Yingxian's pointed canine teeth gently slid across Nie Yunhan's skin, easily igniting the fire in his heart.
When he said the last sentence, the man's eyes were full of affection, and the end of his eyes was raised, giving Nie Yunhan a provocative and provocative look. Losing self-control, he squeezed the other person's chin and kissed him.
After the light kiss, he pressed Zhuo Yingxian's forehead and said in a low voice, "You are such a monster!"
Zhuo Ying smiled smugly, and suddenly thought of something, said narrowly: "Hey, tell me, is this certain A our matchmaker? If he didn't use the nine-tailed fox voice to manipulate me, I might not be so bold as to pretend Tie Hewei, go to Tangzhou Mansion to look for you. If you know who he is then, you must pay him a visit."
"Please! This man who hides his head and shows his tail is also worthy!" Nie Yunhan rolled his eyes, as if he wanted to turn this absurd idea out of the sky, then snorted coldly, and said arrogantly, "Our matchmaker, that's an old man. sky!"
Zhuo Yingxian couldn't help laughing at his unscrupulous appearance, and then heard Dai Yansheng cough dryly not far away: "Excuse me, is it convenient for you to come over and have a chat?"
Nie Yunhan looked down at Zhuo Yingxian, "Are you feeling better?"
"I'm not just a piece of paper, I'm fine." Zhuo Ying said indifferently.
He was about to stand up while talking, but Nie Yunhan insisted on hugging him horizontally, and then gently put him on the ground.
Zhuo Yingxian: "..."
Facing his questioning eyes, Nie Yunhan said confidently, "I'm afraid you might get dizzy."
When the two returned to the place where they had just fought, they saw that all the corpses were arranged side by side in a "one" shape, and they were all disheveled. It seemed that they had been stripped and inspected.
In front of each corpse were the items found from them, Zhuo Yingxian glanced at them, most of them were small jade pendants and peace charms, it seemed that these people who licked blood with knives were not all desperadoes.
Zuo Hengqiu was squatting on the side smoking a pipe, Dai Yansheng was wiping his hands with sterilized medicated oil, turned his head to look at Nie Yunhan, and said expressionlessly: "There is no uniform mark on these people, only a few people have tattoos, such as the one in the middle .”
He pointed to the corpse lying in the middle, Zhuo Yingxian went over to take a look, and immediately recognized the mole on the man's eyebrow: "This man is the leader!"
Nie Yunhan went to the corpse and looked around: "Where are the tattoos?"
"The outside of the right upper arm looks like a swallow."
Zhuo Yingxian used his sword to remove the clothes covering the leader's body, and sure enough, he saw a bird tattooed on his strong right upper arm, but it might not be a swallow, and it's hard to tell what it is from the pattern.
"Judging from the degree of tooth wear and other living characteristics, these people are Dayao people." Dai Yansheng calmly said, "Although they all use swords, their kung fu is not the same, and the level of good and bad varies. It should not come from a certain Jianghu The sect, perhaps a mob, was bought by Haqin or the other two groups hiding behind us."
Zuo Hengqiu stood up, exhaled a puff of smoke, and pointed at the fake Taoist priest lying on the ground with his chin: "This person has a high level of disguise, his face and fingers have slight corrosion marks, he should have been pretending to be someone else for a long time, The skin was burned by the potion. There are no obvious physical characteristics, and I deduce that he must also be from the rivers and lakes."
Nie Yunhan nodded and looked at Zhuo Yingxian: "You have talked a lot with this fake Taoist priest, what do you think now?"
"Recalling the conversation between him and me, there are indeed some loopholes." Zhuo Yingxian carefully recalled the conversation between the two, "He hardly mentioned the details of my past with him, and some of the things mentioned are easy to check. For example, knowing that I have lived with Master for ten years, knowing that my swordsmanship is better than Master, but Master’s lightness kung fu is better than mine—but Haqin should know all these things. I used it for bait, and it's not unusual for him to know about it."
"Besides, what this person said the most was that he was from Duyu, he wanted to break with me, and asked me to persuade you to stop. Thinking about it now, he was too eager. I blamed me for being influenced by emotions and not being able to do so in time. aware."
Zuo Hengqiu said from the side: "Ah Xian, don't take this matter to heart, we are all the same."
Zhuo Yingxian smiled at him, suddenly thought of something, and added to Nie Yunhan: "By the way, when the man in black killed the fake Taoist priest, I heard the fake Taoist priest say in disbelief, 'How dare he kill me' , so I think the fake Taoist priest and the man in black were sent by the same person, but the man in black not only killed me, but also killed the fake Taoist priest to silence him."
"The buddy in Canghai Tower said that you received a jade pendant, is it really Yun Xuzi's?" Nie Yunhan asked.
Zhuo Yingxian took out the jade pendant from his bosom, the circles of his eyes were a little red again, he rubbed his slender white fingers several times before handing it to Nie Yunhan, "It's his, it's absolutely true. I used to own this jade pendant." Clean it up for him, and you won't admit your mistakes."
Nie Yunhan took the jade pendant and looked at it carefully: "Your master was taken away by Haqin, so you are more inclined to think that this incident was instigated by Haqin behind the scenes, right?"
"Although we can't be so arbitrary, after all, we don't know how A, B and Haqin are currently cooperating, so it's hard to associate them with them." Zhuo Ying said leisurely.
Zuo Hengqiu knocked on the pipe pot on the tree beside him: "So, that certain B has already taken action. Since he directly sent someone to assassinate him, he will definitely not do this kind of bait again."
Dai Yansheng also said: "Didn't a certain A secretly help you and lure you? Why did he lure Ah Xian out to kill him alone? Excluding these two groups of people, the only one left is Haqin."
Nie Yunhan took Zhuo Yingxian's hand and put the jade pendant back into his palm: "This is really weird tonight, I dare not make a judgment."
He frowned slightly, seeming really troubled.
"Do you think that if it is Haqin, it seems that it shouldn't be so troublesome?" Zhuo Yingxian looked at him, then at Zuo Hengqiu and Dai Yansheng, "Is this the way Haqin used to do things?"
Zuo Hengqiu smiled: "There is no way to deduce this. Sometimes he will go straight to the point, but sometimes he will cast doubts. In fact, we fight against each other, so there are more doubts. No one is more careful than the other, too. If you go straight and straight, it will be easy for the other party to guess the purpose."
"But that's stealing information or deploying troops." Dai Yansheng disagreed, "The situation is very simple now, he wants to kill us, he just sends someone to kill us, even if he wants to put bait to lure Ah Xian to the bait, he just needs to put Yun Xuzi threw that jade pendant over, why bother to find someone to pretend to be so troublesome? This is simply superfluous!"
Zhuo Yingxian saw that Nie Yunhan had been groaning in silence, and tugged at his wrist: "Do you think so too?"
"Well, Master Dai is right." Nie Yunhan nodded, "Haqin has no reason to do so much useless work. The more he does, the more clues he may expose to us, and the easier it is for us to seize the opportunity to counterattack." Besides, we inferred that a certain B formed an alliance with Haqin to prevent us from pursuing us in private out of personal friendship. Now that he has decided to kill us, it is very likely that Haqin will not send anyone to chase us down in the future. All the tasks will fall on B's shoulders."
The more Zhuo Yingxian thought about it, the more he felt that what he said made sense, and then he thought of another thing: "Brother Han, Hirano is also in their hands, why not use him to lure you, but use Master to lure me? Even you Said, even if they knew it was a trap, they would step on it to have a look, and the other party must have thought of it. Since they didn't do this, could it be that... this matter is aimed at me?"
Hearing his words, Nie Yunhan's face became gloomy again.
At first he thought that the other party used Yun Xuzi because Zhuo Yingxian was more likely to lose control than the trained red boas, but on the way here, he felt that this was not right.
If it is easy to lose control, Xiang Yushu, who is inexperienced, and Wan Lifeng, who has a blood feud with the Duyu people, are not necessarily stronger than Zhuo Yingxian.
Even if he is himself, if he sees Guan Pingye's token, he will definitely lose his temper.
The red boa is also made of flesh and blood, how can it be ruthless?
But he really couldn't figure out the intention of the NPC hiding in the dark to go all out in this circle, but he vaguely felt that the reason behind it was far more complicated than he thought.
Perhaps the starting point is also very simple, just to confuse your own brain?
"No matter who they attack, the ultimate goal is us, so don't think about it. Put aside what you don't know, and don't fall into their trap." Nie Yunhan looked at Zuo Hengqiu, "Brother Zuo , to see which direction the man fled to."
Hearing this, Zuo Hengqiu took out Xunying from his bosom, and turned around a few times to calibrate the direction.
Zhuo Yingxian suddenly realized: "Just now you let one go on purpose, did you put a magnet on him so that he could lead the way?"
Dai Yansheng glanced at Nie Yunhan: "Now you know how bad your brother Han is?"
Nie Yunhan pretended to be profound, and kept his voice quiet, as if he didn't mind being "defamed" at all.
Sure enough, Zhuo Yingxian instinctively said: "This is not called a chicken thief, this is called a soldier who does not tire of cheating."
Dai Yansheng: "..."
Sure enough, it's right to talk less, and you will be bullied when you talk!
By the way, Mr. Yunxian, can you restrain yourself from protecting your weaknesses? Didn't you see that Nie Qianhu's tail was almost up to the sky? !
Nie Yunhan was unaware of Dai Yansheng's inner resentment, and said to Zhuo Ying with a smile: "This is what I just said, the more petty tricks the other party has, the more likely they will provide us with clues."
"Old Nie, keep going west!" Zuo Hengqiu said to Nie Yunhan while pinching Xunying.
"He must have returned to his lair by now." Nie Yunhan waved his hand, "Go, chase after him!"
Several people got out of the woods and got on their horses, galloping along the path to the west.The road ahead became narrower and narrower, the fog thicker, the sky was cloudy, the moonlight was much dimmer than before, and the surrounding light became darker and darker.
The mountains are shrouded in thick fog, like huge sleeping monsters, even if they just stand there quietly, they still exude a chilling coercion.
No one would want to go near there.
Zuo Hengqiu was used to being a scout, so he ran ahead without knowing what he saw, and suddenly reined in his horse with a "wow", and made a "stop" gesture backwards.
The people behind immediately understood, followed Zuo Hengqiu to stop, and got off the horse together.
Zuo Hengqiu walked in front, carefully drew out his saber, the night was dense, and it was very easy to hide danger in the darkness, Nie Yunhan and the others also paid 12 points of attention, vigilant to the surrounding movements, and walked forward slowly with light steps.
When he came to the front, Zhuo Yingxian saw a dead body lying on the side of the road, dressed in black, with his face covered, his eyes wide open, and he had passed away.
It was the one they let go on purpose just now.
Zuo Hengqiu used the tip of his sword to pry open the lower end of the scarf, exposing the man's neck, saw a deep bloodstain on it, and said in a low voice, "Seal the throat with a sword."
Dai Yansheng stepped forward, turned on the torch, put on cloth gloves, squatted down and quickly inspected the corpse: "There are no other wounds, and the other party attacked very quickly. There are no traces of dragging on the ground. The assailant left after killing the person." , did not take care of the scene."
"He didn't even take off the mask to take a look, which means he knows who he is going to kill." Nie Yunhan said coldly, staring deeply at the corpse on the ground, full of frustration in his heart.
After trying all the tricks, I still can't find half a clue, which is really depressing.
Zhuo Yingxian couldn't help feeling chills down his back: "Could it be that the other party sent three groups of people? One person lured me into the bait, dozens of people came to assassinate me, and some people followed behind to cut off any possibility of leaking the news. No matter who is behind the scenes , thoughtful to the point of heinous."
Zuo Hengqiu tilted his head and listened carefully to the surrounding movement with his left ear. Except for the chirping of insects and birds, and the rustling of leaves blown by the breeze, there was no sign of anyone else.
Dai Yansheng stripped off the top of the man in black, examined it carefully, and frowned slightly: "This man also has that swallow tattoo!"
Everyone leaned over to look, and under the faint blue light of Huozhezi, they saw the same pattern as that of the leader just now tattooed on the outside of the man's right upper arm.
Zhuo Ying said: "Since two people have the same tattoo, does it mean that it is the symbol of their gang?"
"It should be. Haqin and others will naturally need a lot of manpower if they want to plan a major event. Even if A and B may be from the court, they may not use their own men to call people from the local rivers and lakes, which are the least likely to reveal their identities." Nie Yunhan murmured, "Write down this pattern, Brother Zuo can inquire about it in the government office tomorrow, and we will also ask around in the city."
Zuo Hengqiu nodded, and then asked: "Aren't you going to chase today? This place has already passed Shilipo, and there are few people. There is Daze on the left and Weilan Mountains on the right. Since the man in black is walking in this direction, I guess they The stronghold must be in the mountains, follow the traces, and you should be able to find traces."
Nie Yunhan looked at the dark mountain in the distance, and said in a low voice: "The night is too dark now, and if the other party sets up a trap in the mountain, we will be unable to defend against it. Besides, someone has come to silence them. If the stronghold in the mountain is temporary, It must have been transferred now. If the stronghold is long-term, they will lower their defenses if they come back the next day. Sometimes, if you follow the clues too tightly, you will easily fall into the opponent's trap. The more anxious you are, the less anxious you are, let's go."
"Brother Han is right, what happened tonight is very strange, and I can't tell whether it's just trying to catch or lure the enemy deep, or it's just a slap in the face." Dai Yansheng stood up, took off the cloth gloves, and there was a look of anxiety on his brows, " I'm afraid there will be problems with Feng'er and Yu Shu."
The few people were deeply convinced, so they got on their horses, quickly returned to Guiliangfu City, and went straight to Zheliu Residence.
Entering the wing room of Zuo Hengqiu and Xiang Yushu, there was no one there, and everyone's expressions became ugly in unison.
Dai Yansheng turned around and ran upstairs, pushed open the door of his and Wan Lifeng's room, but there was no one in sight, and he felt a "thump" in his heart.
Zhuo Yingxian and Nie Yunhan immediately followed, looked at the empty room, and immediately understood everything.
"Brother Zuo checked the room, there were no traces of fighting, and no outsiders broke in. What's the situation here?"
Seeing Dai Yansheng standing still at the door, Nie Yunhan unscrewed the switch and went into the room to check carefully.
Standing behind Dai Yansheng, Zhuo Yingxian could tell at a glance that, if nothing else happened, this place was the same as Zuo Hengqiu's room, and no one had come back.
This is more terrifying than the chaos in the room, it means that Xiang Yushu and Wan Lifeng encountered an accident on the way back!
Dai Yansheng looked at Nie Yunhan, raised his head at him, and nodded his chin elsewhere: "Why don't you two avoid it?"
Zhuo Yingxian seemed to have woken up, a little embarrassed: "No need..."
"Use! He's going to do an autopsy. I don't want to see it. It hurts my eyes." Nie Yunhan couldn't help but pick him up and walk out of the woods.
He ran to the tree near the road, and then sat down with Zhuo Ying in his arms, trapped him in his arms, and strangled him tightly.
"Scared me to death, do you know?" Nie Yunhan was still in shock. Before Zhuo Yingxian disappeared, there seemed to be a big hole in his heart. After receiving Zuo Hengqiu's signal, he casually took a horse from Canghai Tower and headed for Shilipo run wildly.

He frowned slightly, seeming really troubled.
"Do you think that if it is Haqin, it seems that it shouldn't be so troublesome?" Zhuo Yingxian looked at him, then at Zuo Hengqiu and Dai Yansheng, "Is this the way Haqin used to do things?"
Zuo Hengqiu smiled: "There is no way to deduce this. Sometimes he will go straight to the point, but sometimes he will cast doubts. In fact, we fight against each other, so there are more doubts. No one is more careful than the other, too. If you go straight and straight, it will be easy for the other party to guess the purpose."
"But that's stealing information or deploying troops." Dai Yansheng disagreed, "The situation is very simple now, he wants to kill us, he just sends someone to kill us, even if he wants to put bait to lure Ah Xian to the bait, he just needs to put Yun Xuzi threw that jade pendant over, why bother to find someone to pretend to be so troublesome? This is simply superfluous!"
Zhuo Yingxian saw that Nie Yunhan had been groaning in silence, and tugged at his wrist: "Do you think so too?"
"Well, Master Dai is right." Nie Yunhan nodded, "Haqin has no reason to do so much useless work. The more he does, the more clues he may expose to us, and the easier it is for us to seize the opportunity to counterattack." Besides, we inferred that a certain B formed an alliance with Haqin to prevent us from pursuing us in private out of personal friendship. Now that he has decided to kill us, it is very likely that Haqin will not send anyone to chase us down in the future. All the tasks will fall on B's shoulders."
The more Zhuo Yingxian thought about it, the more he felt that what he said made sense, and then he thought of another thing: "Brother Han, Hirano is also in their hands, why not use him to lure you, but use Master to lure me? Even you Said, even if they knew it was a trap, they would step on it to have a look, and the other party must have thought of it. Since they didn't do this, could it be that... this matter is aimed at me?"
Hearing his words, Nie Yunhan's face became gloomy again.
At first he thought that the other party used Yun Xuzi because Zhuo Yingxian was more likely to lose control than the trained red boas, but on the way here, he felt that this was not right.
If it is easy to lose control, Xiang Yushu, who is inexperienced, and Wan Lifeng, who has a blood feud with the Duyu people, are not necessarily stronger than Zhuo Yingxian.
Even if he is himself, if he sees Guan Pingye's token, he will definitely lose his temper.
The red boa is also made of flesh and blood, how can it be ruthless?
But he really couldn't figure out the intention of the NPC hiding in the dark to go all out in this circle, but he vaguely felt that the reason behind it was far more complicated than he thought.
Perhaps the starting point is also very simple, just to confuse your own brain?
"No matter who they attack, the ultimate goal is us, so don't think about it. Put aside what you don't know, and don't fall into their trap." Nie Yunhan looked at Zuo Hengqiu, "Brother Zuo , to see which direction the man fled to."
Hearing this, Zuo Hengqiu took out Xunying from his bosom, and turned around a few times to calibrate the direction.
Zhuo Yingxian suddenly realized: "Just now you let one go on purpose, did you put a magnet on him so that he could lead the way?"
Dai Yansheng glanced at Nie Yunhan: "Now you know how bad your brother Han is?"
Nie Yunhan pretended to be profound, and kept his voice quiet, as if he didn't mind being "defamed" at all.
Sure enough, Zhuo Yingxian instinctively said: "This is not called a chicken thief, this is called a soldier who does not tire of cheating."
Dai Yansheng: "..."
Sure enough, it's right to talk less, and you will be bullied when you talk!
By the way, Mr. Yunxian, can you restrain yourself from protecting your weaknesses? Didn't you see that Nie Qianhu's tail was almost up to the sky? !
Nie Yunhan was unaware of Dai Yansheng's inner resentment, and said to Zhuo Ying with a smile: "This is what I just said, the more petty tricks the other party has, the more likely they will provide us with clues."
"Old Nie, keep going west!" Zuo Hengqiu said to Nie Yunhan while pinching Xunying.
"He must have returned to his lair by now." Nie Yunhan waved his hand, "Go, chase after him!"
Several people got out of the woods and got on their horses, galloping along the path to the west.The road ahead became narrower and narrower, the fog thicker, the sky was cloudy, the moonlight was much dimmer than before, and the surrounding light became darker and darker.
The mountains are shrouded in thick fog, like huge sleeping monsters, even if they just stand there quietly, they still exude a chilling coercion.
No one would want to go near there.
Zuo Hengqiu was used to being a scout, so he ran ahead without knowing what he saw, and suddenly reined in his horse with a "wow", and made a "stop" gesture backwards.
The people behind immediately understood, followed Zuo Hengqiu to stop, and got off the horse together.
Zuo Hengqiu walked in front, carefully drew out his saber, the night was dense, and it was very easy to hide danger in the darkness, Nie Yunhan and the others also paid 12 points of attention, vigilant to the surrounding movements, and walked forward slowly with light steps.
When he came to the front, Zhuo Yingxian saw a dead body lying on the side of the road, dressed in black, with his face covered, his eyes wide open, and he had passed away.
It was the one they let go on purpose just now.
Zuo Hengqiu used the tip of his sword to pry open the lower end of the scarf, exposing the man's neck, saw a deep bloodstain on it, and said in a low voice, "Seal the throat with a sword."
Dai Yansheng stepped forward, turned on the torch, put on cloth gloves, squatted down and quickly inspected the corpse: "There are no other wounds, and the other party attacked very quickly. There are no traces of dragging on the ground. The assailant left after killing the person." , did not take care of the scene."
"He didn't even take off the mask to take a look, which means he knows who he is going to kill." Nie Yunhan said coldly, staring deeply at the corpse on the ground, full of frustration in his heart.
After trying all the tricks, I still can't find half a clue, which is really depressing.
Zhuo Yingxian couldn't help feeling chills down his back: "Could it be that the other party sent three groups of people? One person lured me into the bait, dozens of people came to assassinate me, and some people followed behind to cut off any possibility of leaking the news. No matter who is behind the scenes , thoughtful to the point of heinous."
Zuo Hengqiu tilted his head and listened carefully to the surrounding movement with his left ear. Except for the chirping of insects and birds, and the rustling of leaves blown by the breeze, there was no sign of anyone else.
Dai Yansheng stripped off the top of the man in black, examined it carefully, and frowned slightly: "This man also has that swallow tattoo!"
Everyone leaned over to look, and under the faint blue light of Huozhezi, they saw the same pattern as that of the leader just now tattooed on the outside of the man's right upper arm.
Zhuo Ying said: "Since two people have the same tattoo, does it mean that it is the symbol of their gang?"
"It should be. Haqin and others will naturally need a lot of manpower if they want to plan a major event. Even if A and B may be from the court, they may not use their own men to call people from the local rivers and lakes, which are the least likely to reveal their identities." Nie Yunhan murmured, "Write down this pattern, Brother Zuo can inquire about it in the government office tomorrow, and we will also ask around in the city."
Zuo Hengqiu nodded, and then asked: "Aren't you going to chase today? This place has already passed Shilipo, and there are few people. There is Daze on the left and Weilan Mountains on the right. Since the man in black is walking in this direction, I guess they The stronghold must be in the mountains, follow the traces, and you should be able to find traces."
Nie Yunhan looked at the dark mountain in the distance, and said in a low voice: "The night is too dark now, and if the other party sets up a trap in the mountain, we will be unable to defend against it. Besides, someone has come to silence them. If the stronghold in the mountain is temporary, It must have been transferred now. If the stronghold is long-term, they will lower their defenses if they come back the next day. Sometimes, if you follow the clues too tightly, you will easily fall into the opponent's trap. The more anxious you are, the less anxious you are, let's go."
"Brother Han is right, what happened tonight is very strange, and I can't tell whether it's just trying to catch or lure the enemy deep, or it's just a slap in the face." Dai Yansheng stood up, took off the cloth gloves, and there was a look of anxiety on his brows, " I'm afraid there will be problems with Feng'er and Yu Shu."
The few people were deeply convinced, so they got on their horses, quickly returned to Guiliangfu City, and went straight to Zheliu Residence.
Entering the wing room of Zuo Hengqiu and Xiang Yushu, there was no one there, and everyone's expressions became ugly in unison.
Dai Yansheng turned around and ran upstairs, pushed open the door of his and Wan Lifeng's room, but there was no one in sight, and he felt a "thump" in his heart.
Zhuo Yingxian and Nie Yunhan immediately followed, looked at the empty room, and immediately understood everything.
"Brother Zuo checked the room, there were no traces of fighting, and no outsiders broke in. What's the situation here?"
Seeing Dai Yansheng standing still at the door, Nie Yunhan unscrewed the switch and went into the room to check carefully.
Standing behind Dai Yansheng, Zhuo Yingxian could tell at a glance that, if nothing else happened, this place was the same as Zuo Hengqiu's room, and no one had come back.
This is more terrifying than the chaos in the room, it means that Xiang Yushu and Wan Lifeng encountered an accident on the way back!
