Tianmu Mountain is deep and beautiful.

It is early winter, and it is said that the first snow has arrived in Bianliang.

However, in Tianmu Mountain, there is still a lush scenery...

As soon as the sky was dawn, Gao Yu and Hu Sanniang led the officers and soldiers into the mountains from Majiangang and began to search.

Five hundred officers and soldiers sounded a lot.

But for the deep Tianmu Mountain, it is nothing.

After entering the mountain for a whole day, I didn’t find any information at all. Instead, because the mountain road was rugged, many officers and soldiers were injured.

After nightfall, it started to rain in the mountains.

Gao Yu had no choice but to order camping in the mountains and rest.

"Little Taoist priest, if you continue to search like this, you may not be able to find it for a year."

After last night's chat, the gap between Gao Yu and Hu Sanniang seemed to disappear suddenly. The two returned to their relationship when they were in Xucheng, and Hu Sanniang's name for Gao Yu also changed quietly.

Gao Yu nodded, stood outside the tent, looking at the undulating mountains and forests.

He was also anxious, but on the surface, he looked leisurely.

After all, his action was out of selfishness, so he should be more calm to avoid being noticed by others.

Of course, Hu Sanniang could understand his inner anxiety.

"Little Taoist, are you sure, is there really a treasure?"

"certainly!"

"Then are you sure that the treasure is hidden in this mountain?"

"Um!"

Gao Yu turned around and returned to the tent to sit down, poured a bowl of ginger water, and handed it to Hu Sanniang.

The nights in the mountains are very cold. Although a bowl of hot ginger water is not very delicious, it can greatly drive away the cold. Especially for girls, you should be more careful in this weather.

"According to Chen Shi'er's confession, Chen Yanbin transferred more than a hundred people into the mountain that day, and returned to the village about three days later. Entering the mountain from Majiangang, there is only this mountain road, so I guess that as long as I walk along this mountain road, I will definitely find clues. I believe they can't walk too far in such a rugged mountain road."

Gao Yu did not hide anything from Hu Sanniang.

He didn't know why, but he only instinctively trusted the other party.

Hu Sanniang frowned and said softly: "Then why are you sure that Chen Yanbin didn't transport the treasure? You said that Chen Yanbin was transferred from Fang La, and he was the only one who came out of the mountain after that.

Perhaps those people transported the treasure away directly, and now they are in Fang La's hands?"

Gao Yu was stunned for a moment and then smiled.

"It's possible, but wouldn't it be a waste of time if they transported their treasures from the mountains?

At that time, Yuhang was still under the control of the rebels, and Fang La could take away the treasures openly. Before that, Chen Shier said that these treasures were left by Fang La to Fang Qifo, so how could they be transported away?

But what Sanniang said makes sense.

At that time, Chen Yanbin brought a hundred people into the mountain, but when he returned to the village, he was the only one..."

Speaking of this, Gao Yu suddenly stopped talking, revealing a thoughtful look.

"Sanniang, do you think it's possible..."

Hu Sanniang was stunned for a moment, and then she understood Gao Yu's thoughts.

She opened her mouth and whispered after a while: "With Chen Yanbin's ruthlessness, I don't think it's impossible."

"In this way, when searching tomorrow, you need to be more careful."

The next morning, the rain stopped.

The temperature is very low, making people feel the chill of winter.

Gao Yu also put on a thick robe and walked side by side with Hu Sanniang, walking on the rugged mountain road.

Today's search method has changed.

Wu Song led a hundred people and Hu Yantong took a hundred people to start a carpet-style search.

However, it was nearly two months ago that Chen Yanbin entered the mountain. Even if he left some traces, they had disappeared with time. This made the search for Gao Yu and others even more difficult.

After a afternoon, I could only go seven or eight miles.

The distance is not too far, but the search range is large enough to make the soldiers tired.

At noon, everyone buried pots by a stream to make rice.

Gao Yu sat on a rock on the river beach, staring blankly as he watched the stream flow.

This kind of carpet-style search is not too efficient, it is extremely hard and very slow.

If you are moving at the current speed, you may not be able to find clues without a seven or eight-day situation. Gao Yu believes that Chen Yanbin will not go too deep into the mountains that day. But how should you find them?

He had a headache and wanted to give up.

Although the money was tempting, he was a little impatient if he had to spend a long time on it.

This is really annoying question!

"Hey, what's the water?"

Just when Gao Yu was a little dazed, the sound of Hu Yantong suddenly came from the camp.

He saw him holding a bowl of water, thrust his nose, and shouting: "Don't drink water for now, it's weird."

"General Hu Yan, how strange is it?"

Hu Sanniang walked over, took the water bowl from Hu Yantong, smelled it, and then frowned.

"How come it smells strange?"

"The corpse smells smelly!"

"ah?"

"There is a stinking corpse in this stream!"

As Hu Yantong said, he poured water on the ground and said loudly: "Populate the water, there is a stinking corpse in the water."

"Water is stream water, and it is a living water, how can there be a stinking corpse?"

Hu Sanniang saw with her own eyes that the soldiers were calling water from the stream.

Gao Yu also came over when he heard the noise. He asked about the reason, scooped a bowl of water, and after smelling it, he curled up the corner of his mouth: "Yes, there is a stinking smell of corpse, there is something wrong with this water."

After saying that, he poured water on the ground and walked to the stream.

Looking up the stream, Gao Yu thought for a while and said, "Second brother, take people with you, let's go up along this stream."

"good!"

Wu Song immediately summoned fifty people and followed Gao Yu to act.

Hu Sanniang also wanted to accompany her, but Gao Yu disagreed.

"You and Huyan stay here, find another source of water, bury the pot and make rice and rest... This stream can no longer be used, at least in the short term, and it cannot be used again. You should rest first, and we will come back soon."

Hu Sanniang thought about it and nodded in agreement.

What Gao Yu said makes sense. These 500 people still need to rest and find another clean water source.

Besides, there will be no danger if Wu Song follows you.

In this way, Gao Yu led Wu Song and others to the current. After walking for about ten miles, he saw a hidden valley. Gao Yu flipped his hand, took out the cold carp blade and held it in his hand, showing a look of vigilance.

Seeing this, Wu Song also quickly ordered: "Everyone, beware!"

Fifty soldiers all bowed their waists and raised their weapons.

The group slowly approached the valley, and reached the entrance of the valley, without any danger. This also made Gao Yu and others relieved. He made a gesture to Wu Song, Wu Song nodded, and rushed into the valley with ten people.

"Yanei, come and see!"

Shortly after Wu Song entered the valley, he started shouting loudly.

After hearing this, Gao Yu hurriedly rushed into the valley with the remaining forty soldiers.

The valley is not large, about half a hectare. The valley is covered with bushes and strange stones. A waterfall hangs on the cliff, and the water flows not very fast or very large. The water of the waterfall flows into the pool under the cliff. And that pool is the source of the stream...

Dozens of corpses floated in the pool.

Wu Song was taking the man to salvage the body and place it on the shore.

"Search the valley to see if there are any survivors."

When Gao Yu saw this scene, he had already vaguely guessed the answer.

Although he knew it was unlikely, he still ordered a search of the valley.

He walked to the edge of the pool and squatted down to check the body.
