Omi had to sit up

The [-] officers and soldiers escorted from the capital were massacred overnight on Qingshan Guandao. It happened during a thunderstorm, which happened to wash away the traces of the bandits encircling and suppressing these officers and soldiers. In order to prevent people from finding out the whereabouts of these officers and soldiers, Tang Fenghuang would definitely think A way to dispose of the bodies of these officers and soldiers.

It is definitely impossible for the corpses to be left on the official road. After the Quzhai people and the Dazhai people in the south left, Tang Fenghuang, who was in charge of the aftermath, had the corpses of the officers and soldiers loaded on the carts, covered with wooden boards, covered with black cloth, and sent to the green hills. to the swampy valleys to the north.

With Tang Biao in charge, no one or any bandit dared to come out to see what was on the car.

Tang Biao quickly and smoothly arrived at the swamp in the north-central part of the country, and threw the bodies of officers and soldiers into the swamp along the bank of the swamp.

Chen Shu thought of the vast swamp that Xie Zhen had seen when he led him across the swamp. The rain for several days had raised the water level of the swamp a lot, and even swallowed up the nearby roads. At first, he just felt that this The swamp is a little bigger and smells bad.

But thinking about it now, although the swamp here has a lot of moss, or it has been cut off from the surface river, there should be a long underground river connected to it under the swamp, and this underground river connecting the swamp goes all the way north, and finally flows into the Rhone river.

The bodies of the sinking officers and soldiers were buried at the bottom of this swamp. After a lapse of a month, these few bodies finally sank into the underground river. Following the long river, they drifted all the way, and finally floated out near the Rhone River.

Because of this, even if there were traces of corpses in the Rhone River, those who went to investigate the nearby water system found nothing.

The place where the accident happened was not in Saibei, it was the Qingshan that Chongsan said.

The bandit next to him had already dodged his eyes for a moment, and he plopped down on his knees and said, "My lord, I don't know what officers and soldiers or corpses you are talking about!"

"You don't know, what are you afraid of?" Chen Shu kicked away the bandit's kneeling posture, and sneered, "What did you do during the thunderstorm that day?"

Although he was ill, Ji Changming's kick was extremely powerful, and the bandit screamed with pain in his stomach, and then he said honestly: "My lord, I'm just a little guy who moves things. The Lord asked us to transport something, and we brothers really didn’t know it was a human corpse at first.”

I didn't know it at first, but halfway through the shipment, a brother smelled the stench of the goods, so he knew it.

He just followed Tang Biao to join the bandits in Beizhai, who hasn't seen a few corpses?

"You are the person who transported the goods? What about the people who participated in the siege in Beizhai?" Chen Shu asked.

The bandit had seen the ability of this white-clothed young man, so he dared not say: "I really don't know how much you are, these are all things arranged by the owner of the Tang village. The owner of the Tang village just called some good men in our village. The sign of Beizhai, but they are all masked, so they don't look like bandits."

Bandits have been around for a long time and can smell the same kind of breath, but those people don't.

Chen Shu was silent, thinking that these masked people might be Qi Yanchu's people.That amount of supplies was not a small amount, and even if Qi Yanchu didn't come by himself, he would definitely send his cronies.They mixed in with bandits, even if the matter came to light, they could still evade the bandits in Qingshan and get rid of their ties.

Moreover, this operation deliberately mixed up the three big villages in Qingshan, and Qi Yanchu's people would fish in troubled waters inside. Except for Tang Biao, who was directly related, no one would be able to identify him.

It's a pity that Tang Biao is dead.

Chen Shu looked at the trembling look of the bandit, finally frowned, and flew back to where he came and went with the people.When he returned to the place where Tang Biao was killed, he saw the corpses of several bandits on the field again. The ground was bloody, and there were also a few bandit-like people kneeling on the ground, trembling.

The remaining bandits in the arena didn't even dare to show their breath. They all looked at the man in black in fear in the arena, fearing that they would be the next one to be picked up by the shadow to face him.

In this Shura field, the man in black had a calm expression on his face, his brows were cold, his face was stern, and he stood with his sword in hand, as if the terrifying atmosphere around him had nothing to do with him.

Probably hearing someone approaching, he slowly turned his head and looked at the young man in white who had gone and returned.

Ji Changming really went out to wash his clothes. The obvious bloodstains had only been left with very faint circles. The young man in white was as pale as paper. He frowned slightly after seeing the situation at the scene, but soon saw that When he looked at him, he who was stunned at first quickly laughed again.

"I am back."

Ji Changming greeted him, threw the bandit in his hand casually, strode across a pool of blood and came to him, glanced at the person kneeling in front of him, then held the cloth weapon in his hand, and sighed, "I Originally, what did Mr. Qin come to Qingshan to trouble these bandits, Mr. Ganqing is not called Mr. Qin at all, but Mr. Qin, right?"

Xie Zhen's hand holding the sword loosened slightly, and his original stern expression eased: "You can also call me Qin Zhi."

"I dare not, the people are the people, the officials are the officials, Master Qin is still Master Qin." Chen Shu was stunned for a moment, and quickly laughed, and moved his eyes to the bandits: "I just don't know if Master Qin has gained anything this time." ?”

Ji Changming's long hair was loose, and the black hair on his forehead brushed his handsome and thin cheeks. Xie Zhen watched, and finally lowered his bloody sword: "Killed a few bandits, and found out where they are hiding."

What he was talking about should be about military resources. Chen Shu felt that it was difficult to ask in detail in his current status, so he nodded and smiled: "Then Mr. Qin, did you find out?"

Xie Zhen gave a faint "hmm".

He didn't say much, and Chen Shu didn't understand what the emperor was thinking, and what step he had found, so he had to stand beside Xie Zhen and think about what he should do next.

When Qingshan's case was found here, Chen Shu already had a certain idea in his mind. Although Xie Zhen didn't say anything, he probably had the answer.

Xie Zhen found out, and Ji Changming didn't need to act with Xie Zhen.

Calculated according to the normal time, Lin Chenshu will leave the capital to take up his post here.His identity as Ji Changming has indeed left Qingshan, let's end first.

Chen Shu was thinking, and suddenly he heard Xie Zhen's voice: "Ji Changming, are you still looking for your sister?"

"...!!!" Jie Zhen mentioned his sister again?

Chen Shu quickly turned his head to look at Jie Zhen, but Jian Zhen also looked at him, and a smile slowly appeared on his face: "Tang Biao's stockade is in the north, and we still have a way to go together."

"..."

There must be no Xiaowan in the villages in the north, but Chen Shu found that Xie Zhen's words seemed difficult to refuse...

Ji Changming could only smile, and said some polite words to Xie Zhen.

Tang Biao was dead, and Xie Zhen killed several bandits in public to stand up. The bandits didn't dare to disobey, and soon tied the ropes one by one under the supervision of Lu Qi, and they were arrested without a fight.

Xie Zhen watched from the side, but his eyes did not stay on these bandits or corpses. He stood on the bank of the swamp, and his eyes fell on this vast swamp area.

The swamp area is paved with moss and mud, only shrubs and low trees are exposed from the plane, and nothing else can be seen.

He must have also learned from the bandits that three hundred officers and soldiers were buried here.

I'm afraid it's impossible to find the corpses of officers and soldiers swallowed by the swamp.

Chen Shu looked at Xie Zhen silently, but Zhen Zhen suddenly turned his head slightly and looked at him.

"It's raining."

"Ok?"

Hearing Xie Zhen's reminder, Chen Shu saw a circle of water rising from the surface of the swamp. He was slightly relieved, but he heard the sound of clothes passing by. He quickly lowered his head and saw that Xie Zhen had already Hang the previous white cloak on his shoulders again.

"Let's go." Xie Zhen also covered Ji Changming with the hood on the cloak.

Chen Shu: "..."

Chen Shu inexplicably felt a strange feeling in his heart, Jian Jianzhen turned around, and finally picked up steps to follow.

Guided by the bandits from Beizhai, Chen Shu didn't use the blueprint of Qingshan, but also discovered the mountain-shaped landform to the north of the Qingshan.

Leaving the swamp in the north-central part and climbing over two hills, Chen Shu and the others traveled more than [-] miles, and then officially entered the northern part of Daqing Mountain.I saw that although the northern part of Daqing Mountain is also full of strange peaks, compared with the vicinity of the official road, there are more waterways. The continuous mountain peaks are not the lush valleys seen before, but the water flowing around the mountain peaks.

Previously suspected that there was an underground river under the swamp, Chen Shu had to admire the well-developed water system here again when he saw the landform in the north.

The stockade of Beizhai is located among mountains and water.When Tang Biao led his men to the central northern swamp to block people, he had already docked the bamboo raft for crossing the water at the foot of a nearby mountain. However, this man's idea was perfect, but he never thought that he would be killed at the interception place, and he would use it again. There is no need to go back to Beizhai.

Xie Zhen, Chen Shu, and Lu Qi escorted a few bandits who led the way onto the bamboo raft and passed several peaks, but they saw that the mountain was beautiful, and waterways and caves had formed under the peaks. through.

In the cave under the peak, there are stalagmites standing on the ground and stalactites hanging from the top of the cave, all of which are naturally formed caves.

These karst caves were not marked in detail in the diagram of the Qingshan Mountain. Presumably, when Zui Mengsheng came here, he probably did not go deep into the wonders of the northern part of Daqingshan Mountain.

Chen Shu was secretly amazed, but saw that the bandit in front of him pierced through several caves, and finally pointed at the huge dark cave entrance of a mountain in front of him timidly, and said to Xie Zhen tremblingly: "My lord, the former owner of Tangzhai is in front of you!" One of the places where we move those things."

Xie Zhen stood side by side with Chen Shu in front of the bamboo raft, but his expression didn't move, he just let out a "hmm".

The bandit's scalp felt numb, but seeing that he didn't say any more, he had no choice but to float the bamboo raft into the cave.

The bamboo raft stopped in the cave for a while, and the bandit groped on the cave wall for a while, and finally lit the torch that had been prepared on the wall.

The fire immediately illuminated the cave in front of him.By the light of the fire, the three of them quickly saw that the originally dark cave was in the shape of a gourd, and the inside was even bigger than it looked from the outside.On the side of this waterway, the cave formed a strange shape, and there were spiral arcstones, and dozens of boxes were placed on the cave, reflecting the firelight, and appearing from the dark place.

And at this time in the capital.

Qi Mansion.

Someone knocked on the door and entered, and reported everything he saw in detail.

In the room, someone had a frosty face, with a gloomy and indifferent expression.

"Father, what do you think is going on with this Lin Chenshu? He suddenly disappeared a few days ago, but recently a carriage suddenly appeared in the Lin Mansion, and he was heading towards Saibei. Is he, is he in the Lin Mansion?" In the room, A young man with a green crown showed a tense look on his face. He had clear and handsome features. If Lin Chenshu was still alive in this world, he would naturally recognize that this was Qi Kang, who was once promised to be gentle in the Qi family.

Now Qi Kang has completely lost the tenderness or ruthlessness that he treated Lin Chenshu at the beginning, when he mentioned the word "Lin Chenshu", he gritted his teeth, and there was still a hint of fear in his voice.

Almost ten days ago, the people who were following Lin's residence suddenly lost track of Lin Chenshu.Not only that, even the people of the Lin family don't know where their new official has gone.

Lin Chenshu is the governor who went to Qingshan to inspect this time, and he must have been sent by the emperor to investigate the material case.Qi Yan Chu Qiuchang's assassination failed, and the material matter was exposed, so he immediately sent someone to watch the imperial envoy's movements.But who would have thought that the person sent there hadn't been watching for a few days, and the target who was supposed to be watching disappeared overnight, as if it had evaporated in the world.

The Qi family originally suspected that Lin Chenshu had gone to Qingshan Tianlan in advance, but the informants they arranged at the city gate, post station and pass all claimed that they had never seen this person.

The event of Lin Chenshu's death and resurrection was already extremely terrifying, but at this time the person suddenly disappeared, and his behavior was so strange that it made people frightened.What's more terrible is that when Qi Kang thought that Lin Chenshu would disappear from his vision, two days ago, another carriage suddenly stopped at Lin Chenshu's mansion, and then he went to the north city gate, all the way to the official road, There are signs of leaving for Qingshan Tianlan.

The people who were watching hurriedly followed, and when the carriage stopped, they went to check quietly, but saw that the carriage was empty, and there was no one at all.

The people of the Qi Mansion secretly thought that they were cheated, and hurried back to the capital to report, but they never thought that another carriage wandered past Lin Chenshu's back door on the second night, made a circle in the capital, and went up the Saibei official road again. go.

When Qi Kang heard the news, he brought his men to check it in person.When he stopped the carriage and opened the curtain, he saw that there was still no one in the carriage except the groom.

The groom had never seen such a big battle, and under Qi Kang's questioning, he said tremblingly that he was hired by someone to do things with money.But when asked about his employer's appearance, the groom couldn't explain why. He only said that the person who gave him money was covered from head to toe, he was tall and not fat. Nostrils and a mouth were exposed, dressed like a ghost.

Qi Kang cursed secretly, but felt a chill down his spine.

Qi Yanchu had also heard the explanation from the stalker, and said in a cold voice: "Lin Chenshu is probably playing tricks, he disappeared suddenly, and hired carriages frequently in the past few days, presumably he knew we were stalking, and wanted to use this to divert us The line of sight, fish in troubled waters left the capital ahead of schedule, headed for Qingshan."

Qi Kang said: "Father, will he really find out about us when he goes to Qingshan?"

"If you want to find out about us, you have to go through the bandits." Qi Yanchu laughed and said, "The bandits in Qingshan are not easy to deal with. Tang Biao from Beizhai was once recorded by Jianghu. Ranked third, there are probably only three people in the world who can rank above him, and Lin Chenshu, a scholar, may not be enough to put Tang Biao's teeth together."

"But he..." Qi Kang's face turned blue, thinking how could Lin Chenshu be just a scholar.

It's just that he just mentioned Lin Chenshu's resurrection from the dead, Qi Yanchu already frowned and said: "However, regarding Qingshan, we have to beware of Xie Zhen. He claimed to be ill, but deliberately asked Fang Shougan to control the government for him, and deliberately let this old fox It's disgusting to hold me back."

Qi Kang was also quite worried when he heard the words: "I heard people say that Fang Shouqian is also secretly investigating the evidence of the hunting day."

"He compromised and backed down at the beginning, but now that his views are not in line with mine, he will definitely take this opportunity to hurt me." Qi Yanchu said coldly: "At this point, the Qingshan materials cannot be kept."

Qi Kang trembled in his heart and said, "Father intends to take those supplies..."

"This matter is secret, and I need someone to do it for me." Qi Yanchu said.

"My child is willing to serve my father." Hearing this, Qi Kang immediately stepped forward, but a ruthlessness flashed across his face that was originally like a crown of jade.

"Okay." Qi Yanchu looked at his son, "I have sent a few experts from Jianghu Lu to meet Tang Biao, and they will take care of you."

"Father, don't worry, the child will definitely send out these supplies." Qi Kang said, but the image of Lin Chenshu standing in the corner of the school with his head bowed flashed in his mind, quietly raising his head to look at him.

At that time, the appearance was obviously docile like a rabbit.

Qi Kang's gaze became gloomy and cold.
