"He is definitely not an ordinary person." The ghost-faced man murmured in a hoarse voice, "He is a master."
Had this master been following them from the beginning, or did he just happen to pass by?
If it was the former, so many people didn't notice his presence, which is enough to show how powerful his martial arts skills are.
If it's the latter, then it's a coincidence.
I'm afraid it's more likely that this expert is the former. I don't know which faction that expert belongs to.
I don't know whether that person got the information about the treasure map from him.
It might not be possible to do it in such a short time, but one can never tell what means the other party has.
No matter what, this yellow bird that jumped out is really disgusting.
"Sir, there is a picture tattooed on the back of this man."
The people below turned the body over, revealing the naked back, which was swollen and white. Even though there were many scars on the back due to the impact in the river, it was still clearly distinguishable that it was a pattern of a soaring snake.
Teng Snake!
Maybe others don’t know which force it is, but he is not one of them.
I didn't expect that his people were involved in this and had the clues. It was really surprising.
After carefully examining the body inside and out and determining that it was no longer of value, the group returned from the valley to the mountain road.
As the group returned to the mountain road, they met two groups of refugees fighting over a horse.
“That’s what we saw.”
"We caught it first."
"It's ours."
"It's obviously ours, get out of my way."
The two sides were arguing and didn't notice the appearance of the group of men in black.
It was obvious that the horse did not belong to these refugees. Horses were not common on this remote mountain road, let alone ownerless horses. They knew where the horse came from without even having to investigate.
The ghost-faced man looked at the refugees who were in tattered clothes and had greed in their eyes, and said only two words to the person next to him.
"Kill him."
As soon as he spoke, the two groups of refugees who were arguing heard the noise, turned around, and saw a group of people in night clothes with murderous intent. They were immediately frightened.
One of them saw that the situation was not right and immediately let go of the reins.
"Master, this horse is for you. We don't want it anymore."
As he said this, he was about to leave with his family.
The man in black ignored him and walked forward coldly.
Before the other party could even open their mouths, the cold knife cut their necks and bright red blood spurted out.
"ah!"
Screams of terror were accompanied by the sounds of slaughter.
The two families fled in panic, but no matter how they ran, they could not escape the sharp knives in their hands.
More than a dozen people died under their knives.
The ghost-faced man gave a cold order, "Find the place where he was killed."
If we find the place where the man was killed, we might find something.
Half an hour later, news came from below.
"Sir, we found the place."
The group soon arrived at the forest where Su Yin had killed the leading man two days ago.
Although the rainstorm washed away many traces, the broken trees and bushes around could not be washed away.
The man with the ghost face looked at the broken bushes. From the marks on the trees, he could basically judge that there were only two people fighting here.
It seems that there is only one mysterious master.
A subordinate came hurriedly and said, "Sir, there is a sign of camping on the mountainside about a mile away."
"Where is it?"
The subordinate pointed upward to the left. The ghost-faced man looked in the direction of his finger, then looked back at this place, his eyes slightly narrowed.
"lead the way."
After a cup of tea, the ghost-faced man and his group arrived at the place where Su Yin and his group were camping.
He looked at the marks on the stone wall and the surrounding areas. From the extent of the damage to the surrounding bushes, he could roughly guess that there were quite a few people in this group.
After a careful observation, the subordinate said, "Sir, the people camping here are probably a group of refugees."
Someone noticed the deep wheel marks, but even after the rain, there were still some shallow marks.
"Sir, that group has a carriage, and there are quite a few axle marks here."
As for the situation of Su Yin and his group, after they checked the traces of the camp, they got a rough conclusion, which was very close to theirs.
The ghost-faced man asked, "Can you tell when the traces were left?"
Before or after, there is a huge difference between the two.
If it's the former, then this group of people can be left aside.
If so, this group of people needs to be interrogated.
In everything, we should not be afraid of a thousand things, but be prepared for the one that happens, even though the probability of that one thing is very small.
The subordinate who was questioned carefully observed the axle marks and the scattered wood around, stood up, and shook his head at the Ghost-faced Lord.
"The traces of heavy rain are very heavy, and I cannot make an accurate judgment."
"According to my judgment, the people camping here were most likely here before the rainstorm arrived."
“As to whether they were there before the first three days or on that day, it is impossible to tell.”
The ghost-faced man stroked the marks on the stone wall caused by the wooden stakes, looked at the place where the leading man was killed, then turned to look at the wooden house, his eyes deep.
This is still a really great place!
His fingers kept rubbing his thumb back and forth, his brows furrowed.
coincide?
one person?
Expert?
Rainy night?
A group of refugees with carriages and horses?
Why are they camping here?
His intuition told him that this matter was not simple.
"To the cabin."
There are no extra clues here, so there's no need to stay here for long.
The corpse in front of the wooden house was already emitting a foul smell and was covered with flies. When a person appeared, the flies flew everywhere, buzzing around.
"Sir, the horses have been stolen. The bodies of these people have been turned over to varying degrees, and all the money and valuables on their bodies have been taken away."
"It should have been looted by the refugees who walked along this mountain road in the past two days."
At this time, another group of refugees passed by on the mountain road. When they saw them and the bodies in front of the wooden house, they were so scared that they dared not look any further and unconsciously quickened their pace.
The ghost-faced man ignored the group of people.
"Let's go back to Linzhou Prefecture."
“Yes.”
The direction of Tengshe's group is Linzhou Prefecture, so the clue to the treasure map must be in that direction.
If the mysterious person finds out any clues, he will definitely go to Linzhou Prefecture.
Even if there is no problem, since the other party can follow us, we must be able to guess something, so there is a high possibility that the other party is going to Linzhou Prefecture.
As for the group of people camping on the mountainside, they will definitely go to Linzhou Prefecture.
Considering the huge size of the group, it didn't seem that difficult to find them.
All signs indicate that Linzhou Prefecture must be visited.
The ghost-faced man and his group were well-trained and moved rapidly towards the direction of Linzhou Prefecture.
