lnmao.org, the fastest update of the latest chapters of Sun Moon Fenghua!

The bright moon was sky above, and the camp had calmed down after a commotion.

All the guards have been arranged to guard the surroundings of the camp. Fortunately, they are leaning on Zhuma Lake behind them. Only two people are required to stare at Zhuma Lake, which can save more people to guard against other directions.

Geng Shao and Fat Fish took guards on guard.

"Deputy Commander Wang, do you think...there is a traitor in the team?" Shopkeeper Tian broke into cold sweat again on his forehead.

The shopkeeper Dou frowned and said, "This... shouldn't it?"

Yuwen Chengchao sneered and said: "Without a rape, there is no way to poison. I am just curious, how does a **** poison?"

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Dapeng and Hoopoe have quickly returned.

"Grandpa, Ma Liu and Yanba are okay." Dapeng said: "I personally inspected it, and there are always guards by the car. Whoever approaches the car will be spotted immediately."

"Therefore, there will be no problems with the horse feed before taking the feed." Yuwen Chengchao said slowly: "The time of poisoning is when the ingredients are mixed."

Hoopoe immediately cut the line: "When making the horse, several people were present, and anyone who did the action would be spotted immediately. Lord, I can use the head to guarantee this!"

"This is really weird." Ning Zhifeng looked puzzled.

"Not surprising." Qin Xiao suddenly spoke and looked at Dai Sheng: "You said just now that you need to add salt and water when making ingredients?"

"Yes." Dai Sheng nodded: "This kind of concentrate makes it easier for horses to replenish their energy."

"Where does the ingredient water come from?" Qin Xiao asked.

Dai Sheng was stunned. The others understood what was happening in an instant. Zhao Yi, who had never said anything, finally said, "You mean, the water is poisonous?"

"Water drawn from the lake." Hoopoe pointed to Zhuma Lake: "Someone specially carried water from here, but...how can the lake water be poisonous?"

"The lake water is not poisonous, but after being shot into the bucket, people may be poisoned." Yu Wencheng said: "Who fetched the water?"

Dai Sheng immediately turned around and shouted: "Niu baby, Niu baby, come here!"

A young man in his early twenties came forward, and Hoopoe pointed to the young man and said: "He is fetching water."

"You poisoned the water?" Yu Wencheng looked straight into Niuwa's eyes.

Niu Baby was taken aback and said in amazement: "No...no, I...I didn't poison it!"

"Niu baby, tell the truth, you are fetching water from the lake, but there is something strange or unusual." Dai Sheng said hurriedly: "You can't hide anything, you must tell the old man."

Niuwa sweated on her forehead, after thinking about it, she said: "There is nothing strange." Suddenly something came to mind: "Yes, when he was fetching water, Team Leader Ling stood by the side for a while."

"Leader Ling?" Yu Wencheng's face sank: "Ling Zixiao?"

The caravan is headed by Yuwen Chengchao and Qin Xiao is the deputy commander. However, when they left the customs before, the trading house used Ling Zixiao as the guard leader.

"By the way, where is Ling Zixiao?" Dapeng frowned, "I haven't seen him tonight."

Yuwen Chengchao's face is grim: "Zhao Yi, Dapeng, look for it in the camp, find Ling Zixiao, and let him come over."

The two immediately led their orders.

"Grandpa, do you suspect that Team Leader Ling is the real killer of the poison?" Shopkeeper Tian frowned: "He has been with us many times. He is decent, he should

Should not do such a thing. "

Treasurer Dou also nodded and said: "His family members are all in the city and poisoned in the water. Isn't that a case of death? He is the leader of the trading house. After a year, he earns enough money to support his family. How can he ruin his future? ?"

Qin Xiao stared at Niuwa and asked: "Ling Zixiao is standing next to you, did he say anything?"

"Never talked to me." Niuwa shook her head and said: "At the time he was just looking at the lake, as if muttering, saying that the enemy shouldn't swim from the lake. I didn't dare to ask more, nor did he What more, he was still standing by the lake when I left with the water."

"You carry two buckets of water, and when you fetch water, the other bucket is behind you?" Qin Xiao asked again.

Niuwa nodded and said: "Yes. But he is not standing behind me, a few steps away from me, he should...should not be that long."

Ning Zhifeng also frowned: "Lord, Ling Zixiao was a guard in the Hou Mansion before, and was later transferred to the trading house. He has been in the trading house for several years. Although he has a taciturn personality, he has always worked hard. I think He won't be poisoned." After a pause, he said: "It's not good for him."

"According to the truth, he really has no motivation to poison." Yuwen Chengchao nodded slightly: "I don't want him to do it either."

Treasurer Tian said a little strangely: "Master, they want to poison us to trap us here, why not directly poison the horses, but just put a laxative? If the horses are poisoned to death, we really can't go. "

Yuwen Chengchao sneered: "The reason is very simple. They are very confident and feel that one day is enough to achieve their goals. In addition, there are nearly a hundred horses here, including pure Xiling horses. In addition to paying tribute to the court, Xiling horses Most people can't buy it if they want to spend money."

"Are they trying to take our horses?" The treasurer Tian suddenly realized.

Everyone present also showed relief.

The caravan has more than 70 horses. The Xiling warhorse is of course very valuable. The horses used by the caravan to pull goods are also very strong.

Although Datang and Wutuo trade frequently, they have never traded horses with each other. Datang opened a horse market in the north. Although there will be horse trade with Tusun people, the Tusun people are also very cunning. , Has never been willing to come up with a good horse to trade with Datang.

As a result, the price of horses in Datang is extremely expensive. Ordinary steeds are very valuable. If they are sturdy horses, they cannot be bought for money.

There are dozens of horses here, and the value is no less than the cargo of the caravan.

"The Wutuo people rob horses?" Ning Zhifeng shook his head and said, "They have more horses than us. There is no need to do this. Ordinary horse bandits, it is impossible for them to have such courage." sneered: "Here. If there are horse bandits to **** it, even if we don’t do it, the White Wolf King will not condone it."

Tian shopkeeper said anxiously: "Lord, no matter who is going to attack the caravan, the form is already very dangerous. It is only two roads from Kunlun Pass. If you send someone to ride a fast horse day and night to ask for help, Will someone come to the rescue?"

"Tang Jun entered the territory of the Wutuo people?" Yuwen Chengchao glanced at him and said coldly: "Brother Nalusheng has been coveting Xiling, Zhengchou can't find an excuse. If Tang Jun ran to their territory, They will immediately say that we have invaded their territory, and those who oppose the war in the Utha Khanate will be speechless."

Tian shopkeeper smiled bitterly: "Are we going to wait for death here?"

Yuwen Chengchao ignored him, and said solemnly: "This day, we

You must be fully alert. Everyone in the caravan has to prepare. The coachman and the porter all give me knives. We also have nearly a hundred people. Then the caravan’s guard will be the main force, and the others will cooperate with the enemy. I want to see what happens. Who dares to caress the tiger's whiskers. "

"If you can find Ling Zixiao, maybe you can ask something." Ning Zhifeng turned and looked at the camp, his face solemn: "I only worry about the person who can't find him."

Everyone waited for a while, but they saw Zhao Yi rushing over, panting: "Lord, it's not good...!"

"What's the matter?"

"At dusk, someone...someone saw Ling Zixiao go on duty on the **** on the left." Zhao Yi panted, "I went to look for him on the **** with Dapeng and found... ..!" Pointing to Qiupo on the left: "Lord, you should go and see!"

Yuwen Chengchao knew that something was wrong, and hurried up the slope. Qin Xiao, Ning Zhifeng and others were quick and quick to keep up, but shopkeeper Tian and others could not keep up.

Leaving the camp, climbing up the hillside, I saw Dapeng and another person standing on it. I saw Yuwen Chengchao and others coming. Dapeng's face was also very ugly. He turned to look at one place, and several people were on it. Qiu Po, but found a body lying on the ground under Qiu Po.

"It's the bodyguard of the trading house, called Zhao Dayong." Dapeng said: "I was arranged to be here with another person. At dusk, Ling Zixiao came up to replace another person...!" Pointed at the person next to him.

The man arched his hands and said: "Little Chen Yu, and Zhao Dayong follow the instructions and stay here to watch the wind. Before dark, leader Ling will come over and let me rest. He will watch the wind for me and let me come back in the middle of the night to replace Just now they were looking for Team Leader Ling in the camp, and I brought them here, only to find out that Zhao Dayong had been killed, and Team Leader Ling was nowhere to be seen."

"Grandpa, it's really Ling Zixiao who poisoned him." Zhao Yi clenched his fist and said in hatred: "That dog-mother, knowing that things will be revealed, so he ran away."

Qin Xiao walked over, looked at the wound, and turned his head back: "Grandpa, the fatal wound was his throat cut, but his neck was strangled, and his mouth was obviously covered with force. If you didn’t guess If it’s wrong, the murderer would cover Zhao Dayong’s mouth from behind, worrying about him making a sound, and then cut his throat with a knife."

"The shot is so cruel." Zhao Yi said: "They have been together for many years, and Ling Zixiao was able to get it."

Yu Wenchengchao stood on the slope, looking into the distance, in the night, the hills were ups and downs, and I really couldn't see how far, it was naturally impossible to see Ling Zixiao.

"Why did he do this?" Ning Zhifeng sighed: "For the sake of silver? Don't even care about the family?"

"Master, if Ling Zixiao really wants to run away, he can find a reason to go farther." Qin Xiao frowned: "He can say to go a little farther to investigate. Zhao Dayong can't stop him, so he can completely You can escape silently." He glanced at Zhao Dayong's corpse: "But why did he kill Zhao Dayong before fleeing? It is not necessary at all. Once he is not careful, Zhao Dayong will see that he is intent to kill and even shout out. , He will be more troublesome."

"You are right." Yuwen Chengchao's face was solemn: "What do you think it is because of?"

Qin Xiao thought about it for a while before he said: "There is only one possibility. Zhao Dayong may know something he shouldn't know. He was killed, it is very likely that he was killed."
