Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Zhuge Yan and Huang Qiong rode side by side. In front of them were six people, Kou Chongguan and You Weixue. In the middle of the six people, a large wooden box was dragged by a carriage. They didn't know what was inside, but they just passed by the carriage.  Judging from the ruts, it seems to have some weight.

    Since knowing that the Qinglong Society covets these people, the nerves of everyone in the entire convoy are like full bowstrings, making people breathless.

    Huang Qiong twisted his body that was shaken to pieces on the horse, rode his horse closer to Zhuge Yan, and said, "Master Captor, what do you think is in the box they escorted?"

    Zhuge Yan shook his head: "Ask me, how do I know. But since the Qinglong Society goes to great lengths to get this thing, it must be a priceless thing!"

    "Is it priceless?" Huang Qiong looked thoughtful, and Zhuge Yan quickly asked: "What's wrong? Did you think of anything?"

    Since the murder case of Yan Xiaoliu was solved in the teahouse, Zhuge Yan still appreciates Huang Qiong's wit.

    However, Huang Qiong's answer was a bit disappointing: "If even the head catcher can't guess it, how can I guess it? It's just"

    "Just what?"

    "I just heard Master Catcher talk about the Blue Dragon Society. It has extremely vast magical powers and must be extremely wealthy. What other treasures can make them so tempted?"

    Zhuge Yan smiled and said: "Greed is not enough, and people's desires are always endless. No one dislikes having too much money, and the Qinglong Society is no exception."

    "Oh!" Huang Qiong said with an air of being taught, as if he was mocking himself.  "Master Captor really has an insight into the world and human feelings. Xiaosheng originally thought that the thing that could make the Blue Dragon Society fall in love must be something that is hard to exchange for money and silk!"

    "Money and silk are difficult to exchange? Only people in this world are difficult to exchange for money and silk. Is there any treasure that is difficult to exchange for money and silk?"

    Huang Qiong pretended to ask casually, "What if it is an elixir that can make people immortal, or a treasure from the immortal family?"

    Zhuge Yan looked at Huang Qiong seriously for a few times, then laughed loudly and said: "You are really good at thinking nonsense, no wonder you write some lyrics and story books."

    Huang Qiong also laughed a few times. The laughter of the two people attracted the attention of the people in front. Many people turned their heads. Zhuge Yan restrained her description with some embarrassment.  Continue to pat the horse and rush on your way.

    The group of people walked out for another hour. At this time, they had already been away from the inn for more than half a day. The mountains and fields on both sides of the official road were filled with autumn, and the branches and leaves of the trees were withered. Because this place was far away from the town, there were very few people around.

    Kou Chongguan's voice suddenly rang out, and he raised his whip and pointed forward.  He said loudly: "I have walked this road, and there is a town after passing the woods in front. Let's walk faster and try to find a place to live before dark!"

    Zhuge Yan took a closer look and saw that there was a dense forest only a few miles away.  Even though it was daytime, when I looked over, I could only see a dense darkness.

    Huang Qiong's voice suddenly rang in his ears, "If someone wants to make a sneak attack, this is an ideal place!"

    Zhuge Yan was shocked when she heard this, and immediately heard a horse roar.  She reined in the horse quickly.

    When You Weixue heard the horse whistling, she quickly reined in her horse and turned around and said curiously: "Master Captor. But what's the problem?" When the others saw You Weixue stopping immediately, they all stopped.

    Zhuge Yan looked at the dense forest in front of her and frowned: "In the scripts I have read, no, in the case files I have read, ten of the cases occurred in the dense forest canyons. As the saying goes, we are not in the woods. We are  Wouldn¡¯t it be better to be more cautious?¡±

    Just as Zhuge Yan said this, Kou Chongguan in front of him already said: "There is a town behind this forest. There are often woodcutters nearby cutting wood in the forest, so it is unlikely that there is an ambush. Listen, is there something in the forest?"  There are also the sounds of woodcutter chopping down trees and singing!¡±

    Zhuge Yan listened carefully, and sure enough, she vaguely heard some folk songs, and felt a little more relaxed.

    "But I still have a feeling that something is wrong. Why don't we go around this forest? It's never wrong to be cautious!" Huang Qiong was originally the weakest member of the team, but for some reason he persisted.

    Kou Chongguan said impatiently: "It will take at least an hour to walk around the forest. If you can't get to the town before dark, then it will be really dangerous! You kid, how can you be so verbose? If you have the courage  If it¡¯s not enough, you can go back the same way now!¡±

    Zhuge Yan also hesitated upon hearing this. Huang Qiong's words made sense, but Kou Chongguan's words were not without purpose.  How should you decide?

    When Zhuge Yan couldn't decide what to do, You Weixue's voice rang out: "Why don't we send one person to explore the road first. If there is no ambush, then the whole team can pass through!"

    Zhuge Yan nodded immediately after hearing this.As expected, You Weixue saw this and pointed out one person among his companions. After giving a few instructions, he saw this person galloping towards the woods on horseback.

    Not long after, a shout came from the forest, and You Weixue was happy, it turned out to be the voice of the subordinate who had just spoken to ensure safety.

    Huang Qiong was also quite embarrassed, thinking to himself that he was too suspicious.

    Zhuge Yan saw Huang Qiong's embarrassment and comforted him in a rare way: "There is a strong enemy on your side, so it's not a big mistake to be careful."

    Now the people and horses continued to drive towards the woods.

    Not long after, we were only a hundred steps away from the woods, and we could even clearly hear the lyrics of the woodcutter¡¯s song in the woods.  However, Huang Qiong still felt that something was not right, but he could only vaguely capture a vague shadow, which was not specific.

    But what is wrong?

    In the blink of an eye, we were only fifty steps away from the woods, and Kou Chongguan, who was walking at the front of the motorcade, had even stepped into the opening of the woods.

    A thought flashed through Huang Qiong's mind like a flash of lightning. He reined in his horse and shouted wildly: "Turn around!" He finally thought of the reason why it was wrong.

    Just now, when You Weixue's men were trying to ensure safety, they shouted so loudly that they could hear it, and the woodcutter in the forest would definitely be alarmed, but from the beginning to the end, the singing never stopped.  Isn't this a big doubt?

    Huang Qiong figured out the connection, but before he could explain it, You Weixue and his companions frowned, feeling that he was being too suspicious.  Even Zhuge Yan felt that Huang Qiong was making a fuss and made up his mind to send him away when he got to the next town.

    It was with this thought in mind that the first few people ignored Huang Qiong's warning and ran into the dense forest on their own.  Zhuge Yan politely reluctantly reined in his horse and stopped, and when he was about to speak, a scream suddenly came out.

    The next moment, the woodcutter's singing suddenly stopped, and dozens of black shadows emerged from the forest, each holding a weapon, and the sound of killing surged forward.
