Chapter 87 Collecting the Corpse(1/2)
At the thatched cottage stronghold on the north bank, Liang An and Dongfang Jing returned with sad expressions. Ying'er, who was waiting anxiously, saw the two of them and ran over from afar, "Your Highness, are you okay? Are you injured?"
Dongfang Jing waved his hand, turned around and looked around, and asked, "Is anyone else coming back?"
Ying'er breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Dongfang Jing was not injured. After glaring at Liang An, she replied: "He Xi is back, but he's a little injured and was poisoned. He's recovering in the thatched hut using his kung fu."
"It's good that he can come back on his own." A trace of relief flashed across Dongfang Jing's face, but he put it away immediately, and said with hatred in his voice: "Jin Mu and Wen Bin are both dead, and were killed by the thieves' trap!
Ying'er, take my token to General Sun and ask him to send troops here today! I want those thieves to die without a burial place!"
Ying'er was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "I understand, I know."
"Also, first blow the horn to summon Li Yu and others." Liang An suddenly said.
Li Yu and another agent are tracking Taoist Black Mole, but they are surrounded by traps, and they may fall into traps and be poisoned!
After being reminded by Liang An, Dongfang Jing also thought of this problem and said to Ying'er: "Blow the trumpet to summon Li Yu to stop chasing. There are traps in the surrounding woods. Even if he is good at traps, it is inevitable to fight with others."
Accident."
Ying'er nodded again, flipped her wrist, slipped out a horn from her sleeve, brought it to her mouth and blew loudly in a fixed rhythm.
"Woo~wuwu..."
…
In a forest, Li Yu and another detective who was tracking Taoist Black Mole were looking around back to back, feeling extremely heavy in their hearts.
When they got here, they were already about to catch up with Taoist Black Mole, but they didn't realize that the surrounding woods were full of traps, so they didn't dare to act rashly.
"There are so many chain traps, the layout is exquisite and vicious, they are definitely the work of an expert!"
Another prisoner said in a deep voice: "Can you handle it?"
"It's not difficult to handle it simply. The problem is that I smell a rotten smell of poisonous insects. I'm afraid there are poisonous insects in the trap. If I handle it rashly, it may attract those poisonous insects."
"Then stop here?" Another detective frowned deeply: "Is there a way to get around it? If we delay any longer, the evil path will run away!"
Li Yu didn't say anything. After observing carefully for a moment, he said in a deep voice: "Follow me, there may not be a trap triggered here!"
As he said that, he walked in one direction, and another detective hurriedly caught up with him.
But before they had taken a few steps, they suddenly heard the distant and erratic sound of a trumpet. Although the rhythm could not be heard clearly, they were able to quickly judge that it was the call of the trumpet, and it was an urgent call. No matter what happened, they had to get over it as soon as possible.
.
The two looked at each other in astonishment.
"That's the sound of Miss Ying'er's horn. Are you going back? It's hard to catch up!" Another agent frowned.
"Go back!" Li Yu said decisively: "Urgent call, if we don't go back we will definitely be punished. And His Highness knew that we were chasing the demon again, so he asked Ying'er to blow the emergency call horn, fearing something might happen.
"
Looking with some regret at the vaguely visible black mole Taoist figure in the distance, Li Yu turned around and ran towards the sound of the horn. The other agent could only follow with depression.
They had been suppressed and beaten by Taoist Hei Mole and two other attackers before, and they finally waited for Dongfang Jing to come over and kill two of them. The situation was reversed, and now they had to turn back when they were about to take revenge.
It's just that they didn't notice that when they turned back, several people wearing dark brown clothes, who almost blended in with the surrounding woods, slowly poked their heads out of the trees.
"Leaving? What a pity. I originally wanted to keep these two henchmen."
"It should be that Her Royal Highness the Princess found something wrong and called an emergency call, otherwise these scoundrels would not give up the prey easily. Anyway, our goal has been achieved, and the noise caused this time should focus their attention here.
, you can now report to Prince Mu."
"Haha, that's right. These scoundrels would never have imagined that we had already found the location of the things, and the trouble we put in setting them up here was just to deceive others."
"Okay, leave two people here to watch and try to delay it for another two days. The others will call it a day."
…
"About this location."
Yu Wenhe held a map, compared it with Kongyue Pond, and suddenly used a red pen to draw a circle on the southeastern shore.
"If the rumors are true, the secret treasure should be hidden in this location. If someone appears elsewhere, it is someone else's plan."
Zhao Feng, who was standing next to him, looked at the map for a moment and said in a deep voice: "The Twelve Princesses gathered people to go to the north bank. There seems to be a problem."
"Don't worry, let her attract attention, it will make it easier for us to move." Yu Wenhe said calmly.
The corner of Zhao Feng's mouth twitched: "The commander is really ruthless. Even a fool can see that the Twelve Princess is attracted to you, but you don't care at all."
Yu Wenhe glanced at him and threw the map over, "Stop talking nonsense, let's make arrangements and act according to the previous plan. It's just that this time someone from King Mu may intervene, so brothers, please be careful."
"Okay, okay." Zhao Feng took the map and trotted away.
Yuwenhe shook his head, looked towards Bei'an, and frowned slightly.
"If I were to make arrangements, since I wanted to deceive others, I would be very heavy-handed and make people think that my purpose must be in that place... That's all, let's go back and let people take a look."
…
"Back!"
Liang An, who was watching outside the thatched cottage on the north bank, saw two detectives running towards this side from a distance. After improving with Wufangquan, his five senses became sharper and he immediately recognized the two men who were chasing Taoist Black Mole.
Famous catcher.
Inside the house, Dongfang Jing and He Xixu Ji were discussing their next action plan. After hearing Liang An's reminder, they walked out of the thatched house together, and the nervous expressions on their faces relaxed slightly.
The deaths of Jin Mu and Wen Bin made them clearly aware of the dangers of this mission, and they were particularly worried about the safety of Jin Yu and Zhou Bizhi who were following Taoist Black Mole. Now that they had returned safely, they were all relieved.
"Silver medals, gold medals, and jade, here you are called."
"Silver Medal Zhou Bi is here, come at your call!"
The two detectives who came forward clasped their fists and bowed, saying in unison: "Please give me your orders!"
One of them, Dongfang Jing, summoned them urgently to announce some important mission.
"I don't have any instructions, just be fine." Dongfang Jing twitched the corners of his mouth, as if he wanted to laugh, but couldn't. "Jin Mu and Wen Bin have already suffered, and He Xi and Lu He have also been poisoned. Their strength is very high."
Save one.”
The two detectives suddenly looked stunned.
"Jin Mu and Wen Bin were in trouble?"
"They were all caught in a trap and poisoned." Dongfang Jing bit her lip and said, "It's no longer safe here. I plan to take you back to the headquarters first, and wait until Ying'er invites the army."
The two detectives looked at each other, grief flashed in their eyes, and then they lowered their heads and said, "I will obey your arrangements!"
Immediately, Jin Yu raised his head again and said: "The bodies of Wen Bin and Jin Mu?"
"Still in the woods. I don't know if the poison in them will be transmitted through contact, and there are traps there, so I don't dare to act rashly." Dongfang Jing bit her lip again and said, with a hint of grievance in her voice.
She didn't want to see her subordinates suffer, so she specially arranged for the imperial physician in the palace to develop magical medicines such as Diao Ming Wan, which could give her subordinates a chance to save their lives even if they were fatally injured. However, neither Jin Mu nor Wen Bin wanted to risk their lives.
Pills can save you!
After all, she is a princess after all. Even if she became the commander of the six gates, she was chosen by Yu Wenhe who begged the emperor to be granted the title. She has never even been out of Zhongyang to perform tasks, and rarely saw her when she was leading the team.
Her men were injured and killed. Now Jin Mu and Wen Bin were not only dead, but also died miserably. She was unable to collect their bodies, and she couldn't help but feel infinitely aggrieved and angry.
"I'll take them back!" Jin Mu said in a deep voice: "I also have some knowledge about poisons and traps. I can judge whether they can be contacted. Even if they can't be contacted, other methods can be used to prevent the brothers from dying in the wilderness!"
Dongfang Jing nodded and looked at Liang An: "Take Jin Mu to have a look. Go early and come back early."
"I know." Liang An nodded slightly, "Please follow me!"
As he spoke, he walked towards the horse next to the thatched hut, got on it, and ran straight to where Jin Mu's body was in his memory.
"Stay here in case someone comes to attack you." Jin Yu turned to Zhou Bizhi and said to him. He also took the horse and caught up with Liang An.
After running fast for a while, the two came to the woods where Jin Mu was killed.
"This is right here. There are traps around, please be careful." Liang An jumped off his horse and got trapped in a tree nearby.
The woods are not suitable for riding horses, and I don't know if it will trigger the mechanism, or if walking is safer.
Li Yu is good at traps. Knowing Liang An's purpose of doing this, he also jumped off the horse.
But he didn't wait for Liang An to lead the way, and walked into the woods first. After looking around carefully, he said in a deep voice: "It's the same as the trap I encountered before. It should be made by one person. Be careful, there are many more here.
The trap has not been triggered. If you accidentally step on it, you will not only be attacked by the trap, but may even attract poisonous insects."
Liang An didn't expect that he could see the trap layout in the woods so quickly. After being slightly stunned, he hurriedly followed: "Brother Jin is awesome. When we rescued Lu He who triggered the mechanism before, we attracted a bunch of poisonous flying ants and were forced to do so."
We have no choice but to jump into Kongyue Pond to take refuge. By the way, let’s go this way.”
As he said that, he crossed Jin Yu and took Jin Yu to the route he had taken before.
"Poisonous flying ants? Those things are only found in the swamps of the south. Once they are released, there will be a large number of them, which is very difficult to control." Jin Yu said as he carefully looked around in large numbers, his brows twitching: "You were walking this way before.
I'm really lucky. Step two or three feet to the side and you'll trigger the trap."
Liang An, who was leading the way, suddenly felt his heart tightening and his steps slowed down a bit, but after realizing it, he quickly quickened his pace: "There is no way, neither the commander nor I understand traps, so we can only use a branch to explore the path and slowly explore."
In the past, Brother Jin, you have good skills in traps, right? I wonder if I can learn a thing or two? Apart from anything else, if I encounter this kind of situation again and know nothing about it, I'm afraid I won't even know how to die."
Jin Yu who was following him nodded slightly: "Yes, as long as you want to learn, I can teach you. But you must know that traps are easy to make, but trap techniques are difficult to learn. Although this thing is not advanced, it is very useful for the surrounding environment and various aspects.
It is quite troublesome to consider this aspect, and it may delay your other matters."
