After Lide left, someone naturally chased him here and found the cloth strips that Lide had pinned on the dead branches by the river.
"Judging from the situation at the scene, there is a high probability that he was forced too hard and chose to jump into the river."
"Jumping into the river...? It's normal for Xiang Zhehua to be chased to jumping into the river when he is in the six major realms of perfection. But from the news we have received, the realm of Lord Yunyang should not be underestimated. How could he be chased to jumping into the river by the pursuers?" ? This strip of cloth is clearly placed here on purpose, a trap to distract us!"
"Are you sure? Regardless of Lord Yunyang, Xiang Zhehua must be familiar with the water system of Southern Chu. There is still a high possibility that they choose to escape by water."
"Damn... divide half of the people to investigate downstream along the river! Inform the brothers who set up an ambush behind, and also divide a group of people to search for nearby passenger ships!"
The people who covered their faces with black cloths quickly split up.
The leader punched an ancient tree with such force that the tree was smashed into the river and drifted downstream. His hands were covered with blood, and his brows were tightly frowned, as if he had been greatly insulted.
In all fairness, he believed that with his decades of experience gained from licking blood with the tip of a knife, Lord Yunyang and Xiang Zhehua must have changed clothes and fled to other roads, but he dared not make this judgment. Because he won't get any benefits if he wins the bet, and he can't bear the consequences if he loses the bet, so he can only divide the troops. And once the troops are divided, it will inevitably weaken one's own pursuit strength, which makes him very angry.
In the evening, Luo Ye and Xiang Meng, who were covered in injuries, also arrived in Danqing City.
It wasn't until this time that Xiang Meng put away the sword in his hand and said to Luo Ye:
"You are more trustworthy than you think."
Luo Ye only said calmly:
"I am from Shizifu, and I only want the truth."
Xiang Meng smiled and said:
"Don't pretend to me. Luo Ye, your Prince's Mansion put on a stance of being suspicious of everyone, and forced Xiang Ge Ling to send his precious granddaughter to the investigation team. But our main fighters don't like this. In our eyes, your Shizifu is also one of the suspects in the blood-clothes case."
Luo Ye shook his head:
"At least, we won't take the old general as a game."
Xiang Meng exhaled and said:
"I hope so. But if we find out that the Bloody Clothes case was manipulated by the Shizi Palace and the Lord Palace behind the scenes, and wanted to provoke the relationship between the main fighter faction and the main peace faction, don't blame me for asking for an explanation in person."
Luo Ye said nothing more. Among the four forces in the investigation team, Xiang Zhehua is currently the most isolated and helpless, because behind her is the most suspected peace faction. But the relationship between Luo Ye and Xiang Meng is also seemingly incompatible. When Xiang Zhehua is not around, the two people will indeed be wary of each other, because their goals and positions are actually different: the Shizifu wants the whole case to be revealed, and the main combat faction He just wanted to save the life of old general Jiang Yuesheng at all costs.
"It's already night."
After a long time, Luo Ye calmly opened a paragraph that had nothing to do with his position:
"The team leader and Xiang Zhehua still haven't come. Could it be that there..."
Xiang Meng also waited anxiously, but Li De had clearly ordered them to wait outside Danqing City tonight, and if they acted without authorization, they would be treated as ghosts, so they couldn't leave. Although he was very anxious about Lide's situation and the whole situation, he still couldn't act rashly at this moment.
In Danqing City, there is also a group of people secretly negotiating in candlelight.
"Do you think Lord Yunyang will come to Danqing City?"
"I don't think it's better not to come here... If a lord dies here, the revenge will come one after another. Don't talk about rewards for meritorious deeds, I'm afraid that none of us will be able to escape …”
"I think Lord Yunyang will come."
"Why?"
"Youth succeeds, it's easy to get anxious and irritable. From the very beginning, he put on an upright attitude, and walked the road openly and aboveboard. It was obvious that he wanted to kill people. How can a young man like this accept it as he says? In the end I definitely can't swallow this breath, and I still want to come."
"That makes sense. So what do we do, or kill him?"
"Kill it... The Bloody Clothes case involves incomparable achievements. None of the above-mentioned characters have a family business of hundreds of years, and they are all rich and powerful. How could they care about a new lord who is still young. Even with Yunyang With a deadly feud, would Yunyang really have the guts to fight him?"
"Besides, the lord of Yunyang is not very old, and he has no heirs. If he dies, Yunyang will be in chaos, and he will be unable to retaliate against us. The royal family is a problem, but as long as we control it carefully, it will not be a big problem. At least , far less attractive than what the Bloody Clothes Case can bring."
"Okay. This ticket, done!"
The people present were discussing intensively for a while, and began to lay out many killing schemes. Just wait for Li De to enter Danqing City, and he will be caught off guard by doing mental calculations or not!
In the middle of the night, Luo Ye and Xiang Meng, who had been lurking outside the city, were discovered and started a new round of fleeing. This also aggravated the judgment of all parties that Li De would come to Danqing City, and a large number of troops were transferred here.
However, in fact, at this moment, Lide was wearing a rough jacket, chatting happily with a hunter who came out of the mountains:
"The barren cave in the mountain is really that dangerous?"
"Oh... my little brother didn't know something, it was more than dangerous! I went up the mountain alone, it was getting late, I had nowhere to stay, and I was about to go up a tree to sleep, when I suddenly found a natural stone cave. I raised the torch and looked in. As we walked, the inside became narrower and narrower and narrower... suddenly a pair of green eyes lit up, and it turned out to be a black blind man who was sleeping there and his eyes widened!"
"Damn it! Brother, you..."
"It was too late to say it, so I immediately lay down on the ground and pretended to be dead. The black blind man didn't like to eat dead things. He sniffed in front of me and showed displeasure, and was about to turn around and leave; I walked away from behind him. He swooped forward, strangled its neck with a naked choke, persisted for two hours, and strangled the blind man to death in the hole!"
Lide immediately clapped his hands, and exclaimed exaggeratedly:
"Wonderful, wonderful!"
Orion waved his hand:
"Hey, what's the matter! Don't say you meet a black blind man, even if you meet a big worm, I will kill it!"
After finishing speaking, Orion took a peek at Xiang Zhehua who was sitting next to Lide, and his intentions were self-evident.
Xiang Zhehua still had a cold expression on his face. Although he changed into casual clothes, he couldn't hide the cold and arrogant aura on his body. On the contrary, Li De has more market spirit. From Orion's point of view, nine times out of ten, a down-and-out lady married a common man. This kind of marriage is naturally unhappy, and there is an opportunity to take advantage of it.
The reason why Orion's hunting team is willing to give Lide and Xiang Zhehua a ride is mainly because of Xiang Zhehua's beauty. At first, the hunters were suspicious of their identities, but Lide was an out-and-out acquaintance, and quickly integrated into the team with Xiang Zhehua, which made many interested people stationed along the way look away.
The only regret is that Xiang Zhehua doesn't cooperate very well.
Regarding Orion's bragging, at first she would show mentally retarded eyes, and then she simply looked into the distance the whole time, being a wooden woman who would not listen or speak.
