Knight line GL

"Tong!"

Xiao Qingqian let out a low cry, and hastily and carefully wrapped her around her.

Qin Gutong knew something was wrong, so he quickly calmed down and managed to stabilize his body.She leaned on Xiao Qingqian's shoulder, slowly for a moment, and comforted in a hoarse voice: "It's okay, Qingqian doesn't need to worry. I... I'm just short of breath."

Xiao Qingqian took out a silk handkerchief, carefully wiped the blood on the corner of her mouth, and said in relief: "Well, it's fine. The visitors are not friendly, so let's go back quickly, and don't let them destroy the body and wipe out the traces."

As soon as she said this, Qin Gutong was immediately awakened from the guilt and self-blame of wrongly killing Master Niu——

Those who come are not good, and those who are kind do not come.The other party killed Lihua and set fire to lure them back.When they came to Niu Mansion, they killed people and slaughtered the village.Acting cruel and cunning, clean and neat, there must be premeditation.

I don't know if it is a new enmity or an old grudge?

Lve Ying flashed across Qin Gutong's mind, pressed his chest and frowned and said: "It must be coming towards us... Fang's family is currently stretched, and it should not have the ability to run thousands of miles. Ji Nancheng is a decent family, even If it is seeking revenge, it will not kill the people. I don’t know if it is the Canaan Temple or the Immortal Prison. Let’s go back and have a look, and we should be able to find out some clues.”

Xiao Qingqian was slightly relieved when she saw her calm expression.Folding the handkerchief, said: "You go back first. I will ask you a few more questions and then I will meet you."

"Okay, I'll go back right away, you should be more careful." Qin Gutong nodded, she also thought it would be best to act separately in an emergency, but she didn't know that Xiao Qingqian just didn't want her to see torture to extract a confession.

Qin Gutong came out of Niu's mansion, jumping for joy, and hurried back to Huzi's house.

Corpses were strewn all over the field, and the ground was in a mess.

Looking at the scene in front of him, the young swordsman was filled with fear.It is not fear of life and death, nor the impermanence of the world.But such a hasty understanding—the powerlessness in the face of death.

Both the villagers of Hanshan Village and her are so powerless.

Powerless to resist, powerless to restore.

"call"

Qin Gutong let out a long sigh, settled his mind, and walked towards the horse.

Killing a man is common, but killing a horse is strange.

As soon as she approached, she immediately noticed something unusual.The luggage on the horse's back was scattered all over the ground, and after careful inspection, it was found that all the gold and silver and the secret scrolls presented by Wu Wubu had disappeared!

Qin Gutong was startled: Is this the murderer's purpose?Or is it a temporary idea?

She was puzzled, looked left and right, and called out: "I'm so hungry! I'm so hungry!" After calling several times, the surroundings were as silent as before.

Since he was nowhere to be seen, presumably the little thing was quick-witted and fled into the forest when he saw the situation was bad.Thinking of this, Qin Gutong suddenly felt better.

She pursed her lips tightly and lowered her head to examine the villager's corpse carefully.It was found that the wounds and scars of swords were different, strangled and hammered to death.Apparently there were quite a few murderers, with different weapons.

She frowned and thought hard, unable to figure out which group of people it was.After thinking about it, everyone was suspicious, but there was no solid evidence.

Qin Gutong was racking his brains to think, and his heart moved.Looking up, seeing Xiao Qingqian approaching from afar, he hastened to meet him: "Qingqian, can you find out..."

"A Tong, did you find anything?" Xiao Qingqian asked.

Qin Gutong was taken aback, and quickly told her what he had seen: "Our luggage was turned over, and we lost money and secret papers. Now we can't guess for sure, whether it's revenge or secret papers. But Senior Wu gave me the papers There should not be many people who know about it. What’s more, there are quite a few people in this group and they have different weapons.”

Xiao Qingqian concentrated his eyes, observed carefully, nodded and said: "Indeed, and the skills are quite different. There are also chicken claw sickles used by others. Look at the scars, this kind of weapon is not common."

Qin Gutong leaned forward to look, and saw three scars on the village woman's neck, varying in length and width.If you don't observe carefully, it will be regarded as being stabbed three times.

"There is a small hole in the chest. If it is called Emei thorn or something, the puncture is too shallow..." Xiao Qingqian shook his head, walked around Huzi's house, and said to Qin Gutong, "Ah Tong, what is the point?" Judging from the footprints, there are seven people."

Qin Gutong looked down and saw only two vague footprints.Surprised and sighed: "Qingqian, you really see the end of every detail!" After saying that, he asked eagerly, "Can you find them by following their footprints?"

Although Xiao Qingqian's eyesight is far superior to that of ordinary people, he has never tried to track it.She knew that Qin Gutong must be very anxious at this moment, and couldn't bear her disappointment.Raising his finger to one side, he said calmly, "Let's go and have a look."

Qin Gutong was shocked when he heard the words, his brows stretched, and he nodded heavily: "Okay."

The two followed the footsteps, walking and stopping.After a while, he walked out of the village and looked at the empty old road.Qin Gutong knew that the murderer was far away.The avenue is east and west, and there are too many places to go.But there is a direction, and it will be found.It must be very eye-catching for these people to act so recklessly.

"Judging from the footprints, four people went east and three people went west." Xiao Qingqian frowned slightly, "I don't know if the other party did this on purpose or unintentionally."

Qin Gutong's heart felt cold when he heard the words, and he was at a loss for a while.Thinking of the corpses she saw along the way, resentment welled up in her heart.In an instant, the blood was surging, and there was a tight pain in the chest.

Fearing that Xiao Qingqian was worried, she turned around quickly.Looking up, Hanshan Village is like when Tathagata came: clouds and misty peaks, Wu mist and water.Green locust trees and tall willows, red apricots and plum blossoms.

The beauty is as old as before, and things are changing.

"A Tong." Xiao Qingqian called out suddenly, raised her eyes to look into the distance, and said softly, "There is someone."

Qin Gutong was startled suddenly, his hair stood up all over his body, he clenched the handle of the knife and said in a low voice: "Who is it? Could it be..."

Xiao Qingqian shook his head slightly, seeing her tense expression, he hurriedly stepped forward to hold her hand, and said softly: "Do you remember that we went wrong yesterday and encountered a bullock cart on the road."

Qin Gutong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and pondered: "I remember, the old man spoke with a strong local accent. I asked several times before I could hear it clearly. His big yellow ox...I heard it."

The jingling of cowbells came faintly from a distance.

Ecstasy appeared on Qin Gutong's face, he took Xiao Qingqian's hand and kissed it on his lips, and said with a happy smile: "Qingqian, this road! This road...the old man must have seen it! He must have seen it I'm going to ask."

Xiao Qingqian saw that she didn't choose what to say, so he hurriedly grabbed her, smiled and comforted her: "Don't worry, there are few people on this old road. Passers-by will definitely be able to see it, but I'm afraid they may not pay attention to it. Besides, why is he the only one who can live?" ?”

Qin Gutong took a deep breath, his face sank instantly, and he nodded in agreement.None of the people in the fields in the village was spared. It can be seen that this group of people did not shy away from killing people, and even deliberately concealed their tracks.

If the old man driving the ox cart had really seen the gang of murderers, he might not be able to escape.

While the two were talking, a figure of a bullock cart appeared in the distance, slowly approaching the eyes of the two, and then stopped suddenly as they got closer.

Seeing this, Qin Gutong frowned suddenly, and looked at Xiao Qingqian, both puzzled, and the two stepped forward quickly.

The old man who drove the car saw the two people coming to him in a blink of an eye, and his face turned pale with fright.Pulling on the reins tightly, the bullock cart was about to turn around and go back.It's a pity that the old scalper is no better than a horse. Even though the owner is sweating profusely, it still wanders to the roadside to chew grass.The master whipped down, flicked his tail, and moved his hooves slowly.

"Old man, you?" Qin Gutong stepped forward, and saw a big tear in the old man's shoulder clothes, and it was clearly visible that the skin was torn apart.

Qin Gutong was surprised, but suddenly joyful.He walked quickly to the side of the ox cart and stopped the old man who rolled over and fled.Calm down and calm down, he asked softly, "Don't you remember? I asked you the way yesterday, and you said that Baili can reach Jianye City."

Seeing that there was nowhere to escape, the old man squinted his eyes and looked her up and down. He breathed a sigh of relief, patted his heart, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Scared! Scared! I thought I met a ghost again!"

Qin Gutong could barely understand six or seven points, and hurriedly asked: "Who did you see? How many of them? What do they look like?"

Xiao Qing saw the two talking and carefully observed the old man.White hair on the head, calluses on the hands, patches on the hem of the elbows, wear and tear on the soles of the shoes...

The old scalper shook his head and looked up at her.

"Really? Did you remember correctly?" Qin Gutong hurriedly leaned over to pick up the stone, drew a pattern on the ground, and asked solemnly, "Look carefully again!"

Hearing her tone, the old man didn't dare to be careless, and quickly jumped off the bullock cart.Kneeling down to take a look, he immediately raised his head and replied affirmatively: "Wrong! Please be like this!"

Qin Gutong was suddenly furious, gritted his teeth, and said in a low voice, "Hmph! It's really..."

"Tong."

Qin Gutong looked back at her.

Xiao Qingqian nodded slightly, implying that there was nothing suspicious. Her eyes fell on the wound on the old man's shoulder, and she said with certainty: "This whip mark is consistent with the scar on Lihua's neck."

Glancing at the blank expression of the old man, Qin Gutong tapped the marks on the ground with his toes, and said softly to Xiao Qingqian: "I've seen it before."

Xiao Qing understood it, and moved to the side of the road.

Qin Gutong took out a piece of broken silver from the purse at his waist, handed it to the old man, and said with a kind smile: "It's wasting your time, this silver..."

Just as the old man was about to decline, he swallowed his saliva when he saw the silver glistening in the sun.Seeing this, Qin Gutong smiled, and stuffed the money into his hand.

Watching the bullock cart slowly go away, Qin Gutong's face slowly sank, he raised his hand and clenched the horizontal knife around his waist, his eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he said with a sneer: "Sure enough, you can't think of people in the best way... Ji Nancheng! "

In early summer, the fumigated wind blows up the floating soil.The scratches on the ground are more clear.Ji Nancheng's ore production, its Yamagata name brand, is unique.

Xiao Qingqian looked at the pattern on the ground, his eyes were far away, and he asked calmly, "A Tong, are you going to Ji Nancheng?"

Although Qin Gutong was full of murderous intent, he did not lose his mind.She paced back and forth with her knife in hand, looked up at the open fields, and said anxiously: "This matter has not yet been settled, of course I will not kill people rashly. But if we directly ask at the door, Ji Nancheng will definitely deny it. Why don't we disguise ourselves and go secretly investigate .Once confirmed, bring them to justice."

Xiao Qingqian met her eyes, nodded slightly and said, "What Ah Tong said is true. Ji Nancheng is nothing to worry about, but we are avenging the villagers, and we cannot be wronged."

Qin Gutong suddenly laughed, stepped forward to hold her hand, sighed softly, and said softly: "Qingqian, why is this between you and me? If you have something to say, when will I go against you?"

Xiao Qingqian clasped her fingers together, feeling warm in his heart.Looking up at the sincerity and affection in Qin Gutong's eyes, he smiled: "It's only for you that I am so cautious about my words."

She raised her hand to caress Qin Gutong's eyebrows, and explained: "Since the Chang'an League, massacre of people has been regarded as a great evil. Why don't we go to Jianye City first, the city owner Chi is an old acquaintance of mine, and he is an upright person. Jianye City is not far from here , it is very appropriate for her to come forward."

"it is good."
