Chapter 17 Investigation!(1/2)
In the past three months, especially the last six or seven days, even though Zhou Yan was in trouble in reality, he was free in Leylin's world.
Zhou Xian is different.
Therefore, once he was free, he was even more excited. He collapsed on the ground, half frightened by jumping off the cliff, and half excited and surprised.
It took quite a while.
Zhou Yan waited until the second brother was almost calm, then stretched out his hand to help him up: "It's not the time to be happy now, eldest brother, the third brother is still serving in the border army, and I don't know what is going on now. We have to fish them out as soon as possible."
"right!"
"This matter is important!"
Zhou Xian also reacted.
Since March and April of this year, the news that Beishu was about to move south has been rampant. Jingguo was frightened to death, and he continued to increase troops to the passes and important towns in the northern border states, and mobilized grain and grass from all over the country to support the border army. He looked like he was facing a formidable enemy.
Zhou Kang and Zhou Meng were assigned to the border army in April and May this year, but now it is the end of October. Zhou Yan and his second brother Zhou Xian have been trapped in Mantuo Villa for three months. They don’t know what the situation at the border is. When it comes to fighting, the sooner we find the eldest brother and the third brother, the sooner we can stay away from the war.
The battlefield is cruel, and people like Zhou Kang and Zhou Meng are basically incorporated into death squads and vanguard camps, and their mortality rate is much higher than that of ordinary soldiers.
"As soon as possible!"
Zhou Yan made up his mind and said to his second brother: "Brother, third brother was sent to Yizhou, which is located in the northernmost part of Jingguo. Yizhou borders Dashu to the north and Weiguo to the west. We are now in Xunzhou, so we have to go north. Go straight in a slightly westerly direction and pass through half of Xunzhou and the entire Xingzhou before you reach Yizhou."
At the beginning of this year, the four brothers followed the county magistrate named Zhao Liang for a few months. They could not say that they knew all the routes between the states and counties in Jingguo. However, after Jingguo retreated to southern Xinjiang, the newly divided areas The general geographical location of the seventeen states is still clear.
However, there are many dangerous roads in Nanjing Mountain. If you take the official road, the distance is seven to eight times longer than the straight-line distance. Secondly, there are many obstacles along the way, which will inevitably attract attention.
It is better to go straight, over the mountains and ridges, and go straight to Yizhou.
"There are many high mountains in southern Xinjiang, and there are many dense forests in the mountains. There are many snakes, insects, rats, ants, jackals, tigers and leopards in the forests. You don't dare to enter easily."
"But I have magic skills, so it shouldn't be difficult to get all the way there."
Zhou Yan looked at his second brother and said: "My second brother also knows about my thaumaturgy, but I can't elaborate on it. It's useless for my second brother to know. Instead, he hides it in his heart and is always worried about not letting it slip. I simply I won’t explain it in detail.”
Zhou Yan told the truth and kept it secret directly from his second brother.
"Yep!"
"It's right to be cautious!"
Zhou Xian nodded seriously when he heard this.
He has been in prison and has seen the power of torture. He knows the secrets of flying, curing diseases, killing people and so on while sleeping. He knows so well that it will be a burden. If he is not careful one day If he fell into the hands of the enemy and was tortured, he would not surrender, but there was no guarantee that others would have no other means of interrogation.
Simply don't ask, I don't know, this will make you feel at ease.
You don’t need to understand the basics, just know how to borrow it.
"My adventure is similar to the 'sleeping power'. I will have to sleep most of the time in the next two months."
"That's why my second brother has to carry me on his back next time so that I can have time to practice."
Zhou Yan and his second brother were also polite.
He wanted to practice hard in Leylin's world, but in reality he couldn't move or rush, so he had to let his second brother carry him.
“Practice is important!”
"It wasn't easy for me to carry you before, but now -"
When Zhou Xian heard this, he patted his newly recovered thigh, grinned at Zhou Yan and said, "Besides, you are so thin, I can carry you easily."
Zhou Yan has not lived a good life in the past eight years. Now at the age of sixteen, his body has not fully grown yet. He still looks very thin and is indeed not heavy.
But these hard days have finally passed.
Zhou Yan smiled when he heard it, and then said: "On the way, whenever the second brother sees any jackals, tigers, leopards, or feels that he has been bitten by something, no matter whether it hurts or not, he will wake me up directly.
Gong can be interrupted at any time. Anything can happen in the mountains. Even if you are bitten by an inconspicuous ant, it may be highly poisonous and can kill you quickly. So please be careful.
, if there is any situation, don’t judge it yourself, just wake me up.”
This is important.
In southern Xinjiang, even many people in the world dare not rush into the deep mountains and old forests. The high mountains are dangerous on the one hand, but more importantly, there are too many ferocious beasts, poisons and other dangers in the mountains and forests that are difficult to guard against.
Zhou Yan has healing skills. Level nine healing skills can deal with most injuries and toxins.
He also has 'telekinesis'. As long as he is not surrounded by hundreds of wolves, he can easily deal with ordinary jackals, tigers and leopards. Even if he encounters a pack of wolves that he cannot deal with, he also has 'levitation', which can
Go directly to heaven to avoid the sharp edge.
Moreover, the floating technique can also ignore the natural dangers of the rolling mountains in southern Xinjiang, making it easy to climb over the mountains and ridges.
With these three magics in your possession, you can basically travel to southern Xinjiang.
But you have to be careful, be careful when sailing the ship of ten thousand years.
"Um!"
"I got it."
Zhou Xian nodded.
With everything in place, the two brothers immediately stopped staying.
Zhou Xian's leg ailments and the toxins from the datura flowers in his body were all cured by Zhou Yan's healing techniques, and he was now in good health. But after all, he had gone through many years of hardships and was lame before, so his body was not strong and he carried the
Zhou Yan was okay, and taking the official road was okay, but if he wanted to travel in the mountains full of thorns, it would be as difficult as climbing to the sky, and the journey would definitely be slow.
This place was still within the sphere of influence of Mantuo Villa, and Zhou Yan did not dare to stay longer. Therefore, he did not need his second brother to carry him on his back at first. The two brothers identified the direction, each held a steel knife, and headed north and west.
go.
The most important thing now is to stay away from Yunxiao Peak!
…
Time is like water, passing slowly.
A blink of an eye.
Three or four hours passed.
The sun sets over the western mountains and the sky has already darkened.
Under the Yunxiao Peak, in the seventh flower garden, 'Wang He' held his long sword in his hand and led seven or eight people here holding torches.
In Mantuo Villa, the majority are descendants of the Wang family.
Among them, the owner 'Wang Zhen' is considered to be the second generation, the deputy owner 'Wang Wenyuan' is the third generation, and the handsome young man 'Wang He' in front of him is the leader of the fourth generation of the Wang family. Wang He is now the second generation.
At the age of fifteen, he is already a Bone Tempering Realm warrior, and can be called a second-rate figure in the world.
"Can twelve living people fly into the sky and escape from the earth?"
"Look carefully for me!"
"Wang Cheng, go back and call for someone. Today, you have to dig three feet into the ground to find the person for me."
"You want to see people alive, you want to see corpses when you're dead."
"Don't let it go underground or in wells. Look carefully!"
Wang He's voice was loud and clear, and everyone could hear the anger in it.
He is indeed angry.
During this period, Wang He was responsible for the defense of Mandala Villa. Everything was going well until an hour ago, when the steward in charge of the warehouse came to report that two stewards were going to inspect the flower garden and collect mandala flowers in the afternoon.
, but it turned out that they had not returned yet after dark. When they sent people to look for it, they found that the seventh flower garden was empty and there was no one there. No living people or corpses were found at the scene, only a lot of blood stains were left.
The manager didn't dare to hide it and reported it immediately.
So Wang He appeared here.
However, more than half an hour passed, and there was no trace of the twelve people, including their corpses.
Gone!
This made Wang He a little irritable.
He saw the pools of blood stains inside and outside the thatched house, pointed at the two people and said: "Collect all these blood stains separately, pack them up, and send them to the King of Medicine Hall for inspection, and then sort out a copy for Li Jun, Zhou Zhengguo, and ten others.
Don’t leave any of your personal information behind!”
"yes!"
The two disciples responded and took action separately.
Two more hours passed.
Wang He stood in the "Junzi Hall" and reported to his third uncle, Wang Wenyuan, the deputy owner of Mantuo Villa: "The blood stains on the seventh flower garden site belong to twelve different people, and six of them have a certain amount of blood.
There are poisons from Datura flowers, which should belong to six flower slaves. The other six should belong to Li Jun, Zhou Zhengguo and others."
Wang He looked at his third uncle and said in a deep voice: "My nephew guessed that someone probably sneaked into Yunxiao Peak and accidentally entered the seventh flower garden. He happened to be bumped into by Li Jun and others, so this person killed him."
He said, and added: "It is very likely that more than one person has infiltrated. There is no way for one person to dispose of twelve corpses without leaving any traces. But the most important thing now is that the corpses of Li Jun and others cannot be found at all.
arrive."
