Alternative Jianghu Adventures

Ding Biaotou and his party soon arrived at the place where the dart was missed.

The dart was missed more than ten days ago, such a long time is long enough for the scattered weapons to be picked up by the refugees.The bloodstains on the ground have long since been washed away by the wind and rain.

The fierce confrontation that was frightening before disappeared without a trace in just a few days, as if it had never happened.

Ding Fan asked his companions to search the area carefully, but it was difficult to find any useful clues.

Everyone searched hard for a long time, until the sun had already set in the west, and finally found the dead body of a bandit a little farther from the place where the dart was missed.

Through the strange direction of the body, it should be dragged to this remote corner by passing refugees - the clothes that can be worn on it have been stripped away, and all that is left are rags that cannot cover the body.

Although the appearance of death is not miserable, it is obvious that there is no peace after death.

This frightening appearance, if it was the young master who lived in the city all day long, he would definitely be terrified.But the people present were all men who had traveled all over the world for many years, so it was not surprising that they could at most curse in their hearts "this is the way of the world" to show their sympathy.

"...this fabric..."

A bodyguard who has been guarding the official bodyguard for many years touched the material of the dead man's body. He was taken aback, and came to the same conclusion as Xia Yun. He murmured, "It seems to be an official cloth."

"Old Dingtou," he glanced at Ding Fan incredulously, "Are you sure the one who robbed the dart was a 'bandit'?"

He bit the word "thief and bandit" very hard.

"Even if it's an official...if it's a deserter..." Ding Fan retorted subconsciously, and then the "running fire" that he encountered at the beginning flashed through his mind, and he finally realized belatedly——

How can ordinary thieves have a "flowing fire" in their hands?

Even if they cut corners, most of the "flowing fire" did not contain gunpowder - but with such a great power, there are few folk crafts that can reach this level!

Taking a step back, if it is really self-made by the people, this kind of power must come from the weapon guild Wood Stone League!But how can the things of Wood and Stone League be affordable by ordinary people?What's more, this kind of powerful "flowing fire" must have a high price per piece!

——But how can someone who can afford such a huge amount be a thief! ?

"You mean, real soldiers?" Ding Fan asked tentatively, "But the uniforms don't look like soldiers from Qingzhou City..."

The Cheng family has occupied Qingzhou City for many years, and more than half of the soldiers would like to wear the Cheng family's soldiers' clothes under their official uniforms!Even ordinary soldiers who have no intention to vote will have the words "Qingzhou" on their uniforms. There are 42 counties in Kyushu, and there are as many different sets of military uniforms as there are counties. This style is obviously wrong!

"What if it's not from Qingzhou City?" The man put forward such a hypothesis.

The officers and soldiers from the outer city appeared on the outskirts of Qingzhou City... and even turned into thieves, running around in the bamboo forest?

Ding Fan has been in darts for many years, and his response is very keen.

——It is absolutely impossible for so many people to be hidden in the bamboo forest.

And the only one around here that can hide a large army...

His gaze turned to the Valley of the Dead ahead.

Bandit bandits, occupying mountains as bandits.

The reason why the Linyun Mountain Range is called the Valley of the Dead is because of the treacherous geographical environment on the one hand, and another important reason is that it is infested with horse thieves!Maybe just out of a thief's den with the front foot, the back foot entered the bandit's den again!

Ordinary people went in, at least they would pay gold and silver to redeem them, and at most they would die without a whole body!

And beyond the Linyun Mountains, the place further south is the land of the Southern Barbarians... It is a forbidden land for ordinary people, but for those who wander around and have martial arts skills, it is a place where the sea is wide and the sky is high. The existence of bird flying!

"Heh," thinking of this level, Ding Biaotou suddenly laughed loudly.

"...It seems that a lot of trouble has been saved...I don't care if it's Qiu Ba or not, if we run darts, if we encounter robbed darts, we should find them back.

... From this point of view, I am afraid that the place where we are looking for darts is the way we originally planned to take darts! "

"Brothers!" Biaotou Ding turned around with a smile, cupped his hands and said, "Ding is not talented, so I beg you guys to go into this Valley of the Dead!"

As the leader of various security agencies in the south of the Yangtze River, Ding Fan has always had a good reputation in the hearts of other security agencies. Now that Shunfeng Security Bureau is in trouble, there are many people rushing to the front to show courteousness or loyalty.

Therefore, as soon as he finished speaking, everyone echoed immediately.

"Okay, I don't think it's getting too early." Ding Fan looked at the setting sun that was about to set in the mountains, and discussed, "Why don't we just rest here tonight and catch up early tomorrow morning."

Said it was a discussion, but with an unquestionable tone.

"Are you really leaving tomorrow?" Fan Da stared at Xia Yun and Qiao Anyue who were packing up, "Do you really want to stay for a few more days?"

The simple country man still has the concept of "sticking to the country", and he is very incomprehensible to Xia Yun's "wandering" behavior.

"I'm sorry, I've been delayed for so long, it's time to get back to my job!" Xia Yun smiled, "I'm also a member of the Escort Bureau!"

Although the internal force in her body is still half-dead, the rest these few days has indeed completely healed her previous injuries, and there is no need to stay here anymore.

What's more, Miss Qiao's impatience is about to show on her face - Miss Qiao said repeatedly when she was sleeping last night, "She can't even sing that rustic folk song... She will probably go crazy if she stays any longer." ! And forcibly increase the price! If you wait an extra hour, you will add one tael to the 190 eight taels of silver that Xia Yun owes!"

...But money is naturally not the motivation to force Xia Yun to leave.

The most important thing is that, for some reason, a beast-like intuition tells her that she cannot stay here for a long time.

"...these are for you."

While Xia Yun was saying goodbye to Fan Da, Qiao Anyue came out of the house coldly with a different face, took out a bunch of messy bottles and jars, stuffed them into Xia Yun's arms, and asked Xia Yun to hand them to Fan Da.

"...Why don't you give it yourself?" Xia Yunqi asked, and then realized that it was probably the young lady's cleanliness habit that broke out from time to time.

Immediately rolled his eyes.

"Promotes blood circulation and removes blood stasis," Qiao Anyue snorted arrogantly, "...I made it overnight, just a few more bottles, and the effect is a hundred times better than your earthen recipe! Keep it up!"

... Can the amount of two people really "just" make so many bottles?

The simple countryman said... I am really stupid to believe you.

Fanda took it, smiling all over his face, "Thank you!"

Miss Qiao turned her face away and murmured, "You guys are ashamed to use such a poor medicine..."

"Virtue!" Xia Yun sneered, and looked at Fan Da, "There is no need to send it off tomorrow morning, we will leave at dawn."

The next day.

Xia Yun and Qiao Anyue left Fanjia Village early in the morning and went deep into the southern mountains.

And at the foot of the mountain in Fanjia Village, the man in white shirt who rushed over quickly looked at the male worm who was so excited that he was circling around in the bottle, and knew that the goal was not far away.

Now that the insect Gu was useless, he smashed the small bottle on the ground at random, and rode his horse up the mountain.

"...Mistake, misstep!" Xia Yun didn't take a few steps, looked at all kinds of obstacles intertwined with vines on the wild road, and reacted belatedly——

In order to avoid encountering bandits, she deliberately chose a wild road with no one around.

But in any mountain range, the road is opened by tens of thousands of people-if you want to take a wild road, it must be overgrown with weeds and vines blocking the road. Experienced hunters will always carry a sharp weapon to open the road, but Xia Yun...has no experience. .

"I have to go back and find an axe." Xia Yun rubbed his nose in embarrassment, then turned to Qiao Anyue and said.

Qiao Anyue: ...

Just when the two returned along the way.

"What's the matter recently, strangers are still coming in batches?" Fan Da watched the man ride his horse into the village, scratching his head, expressing his puzzlement.

"Are you a villager here?" the man asked.

Vanda nodded.

"Has anyone been here lately?"

Fan Da just wanted to answer "yes", but then he reacted and shook his head again and again.

——He didn't forget that Xia Yunqiao Anyue was injured when he first arrived!What if this is their enemy?

"where?"

Fan Da's small movements naturally did not escape the man's eyes, he raised his eyebrows, and suddenly swung a throwing knife from his cuff - the blade brushed against Fan Da's side face!Nailed to the firewood behind!

Fan Da was so frightened by the almost solidified murderous intent that he couldn't speak, he swallowed hard, swirled his tongue, and choked, "No, I don't know!"

"Want to die?" The man didn't want to spend too much time on such assholes, and there was a hint of internal pressure in his voice, "I want to ask you one last time, where are you?"

Fan Da shook his head desperately——the village regulations of Fanjiacun said so!One cannot be unkind and unrighteous!Xia Yun cut so much firewood for their village, and Qiao Anyue left so much medicine, he is simply a great benefactor in the village!How can you reveal the whereabouts of your benefactor? !

"It's quite backbone." The man snorted coldly, and the second throwing knife came out of his hand!

There was only a clang - the flying knife was knocked off the ground by a piece of gravel!

Then followed a disdainful sentence, "Didn't your father tell you to kill unarmed people... Special! Don't! No! Kind!?"

Xia Yun slowly picked up the broken ax in front of the house, held it in his hand, and grinned at Fanda: "...I just think the vines on the road are quite in the way, so I want to come back and get an ax to open the way... ...I didn't expect such a coincidence...

Are you OK? "

Fanda shook his head, instinctively stepped aside, and moved himself to what he thought was a safe place.

"You, who are you talking about, you don't have any kind?" The man's expression changed, he squinted his long and narrow eyes, and looked at Xia Yun coldly.

"I'll say whoever doesn't have a seed," Xia Yun whistled, "...you really don't have a seed, do you?"

The man's face became even more ugly, and he spat out two words coldly, "Look, die!"

As he said that, he raised his hands, and the five flying knives in his cuffs immediately cut through the stagnant murderous aura, and rushed straight towards Xia Yun's face!

The author has something to say: I glanced at the content of the next two chapters of the manuscript, and secretly laughed... Guess it's a knife or a candy :)
