Chapter 1037

"One or two hundred people, and they are all wearing iron armor. Apart from that, are there any strange things? Think about it carefully..." Tang Xuncheng stroked his long beard and had a gloomy face. After communicating with Xu Zhao, he looked at the injured hand that looked dying, which had been re-involved.

"What they said, yes, what they said, the young man listened for a long time and didn't understand it. It was neither Dangxiang's words nor our Song Dynasty words. The villain could swear to the sky..."

Xu Zhao and Tang Xuncheng sighed at the same time, and after asking a few more questions, Tang Xuncheng comforted the man and recovered from the injury. After getting sick from the room, he also strictly instructed the head of the Yongsheng Escort Agency and the temporary person in charge of the Zhao Family Trading Company.

Let them shut up and not spread the news that the Zhao clan trading company and the Yongsheng Escort Agency had died for the time being. Half an hour later, Xu Zhao personally commanded a thousand soldiers and rushed out of the west gate of Youzhou to go to the scene.

When he saw the mess of the abandoned wardrobe and the remains of the corpses everywhere, Xu Zhao's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot, but he could not find any useful clues.

"Look for me, you can't let go of any clues. I really don't believe it anymore. After so many people died, the other party would not leave any clues."

After searching, I only found a few worn leather robes, and the obviously cut-off edge of the leather robes was not blood at all. This proved that the surviving wrestler said that the other party must have iron armor on his body, so there was no blood after the leather robes were chopped to pieces.

Importantly, many dead people can be clearly seen as dead due to arrow attacks, but no remaining arrows were found on all the corpses.

What does this mean? It means that the other party was worried that the feather arrow would reveal his identity, so he pulled them all away from the scene.

As the soldiers searched repeatedly, in the end, at the outer wall of the whistle tower, a feather arrow was inserted into a wooden pillar of two people at a height. Because its feathers were black, if it weren't for the right sky now, it would be impossible to see if it wasn't for the right skylight if it weren't for the careful look.

When a nimble soldier pulled out the feather arrow from there and threw it down, Xu Zhao looked at the feather arrow carefully, and finally saw a line of tiny but very different Chinese characters on the shaft.

After Xu Zhao rushed back to Youzhou, the feather arrow was placed on Tang Xuncheng's desk. Tang Xuncheng had no idea. In the end, Tang Xuncheng was clever and drew the words down and asked the foreign merchants who were interacting with him.

"Khitanism from Liao Kingdom..." After hearing the news that the officer rushed back with notes to report, Xu Zhao and Tang Xuncheng both took a breath.

Tang Xuncheng pondered for a long time, and finally discussed to Xu Zhao. "This matter is not something you and I can decide. I think it is better to ask the Lord for a decision as soon as possible. I wonder what General Xu thinks?"

"Yes, it's really a big deal. It would be fine if the arrows picked up by the bandits and bandits, but according to the discovery at the scene, it's probably related to the Liao army in Xiazhou. Now, I have just recovered from the North Shaanxi Road for only more than a year..." Xu Zhao smashed his mouth and stood up.

"Then please ask Lord Tang to stay in Youzhou to preside over the presidency. Xu will go to Hongzhou today."

"Otherwise, if that gangster is not worried about his life, you'd better take him with him with him. With personal and physical evidence, this will make it more convincing."

Xu Zhao thought about it and nodded in agreement, but just as he was about to cross the threshold and leave, he suddenly stopped.

"Before that, relevant people, don't let them have contact with outsiders first, and wait until Lord Wang decides before talking."

"Don't worry, General Xu, I will definitely not be attacked by Zhao's trading company in Youzhou. I just hope that General Xu, the sooner you are, the better."

Xu Zhao walked away quickly without looking back. Half an hour later, regardless of the complaints of the doctor in the clinic, the seriously injured man got on the carriage, along with the experienced old doctor.

The Five Hundred Yuanyou Knights and Xu Zhao left Youzhou together and galloped towards Hongzhou...

#####

Wang Yang did not expect that he would come out for spring with his wife and children, but he could not have a good rest. Before noon the next day, someone came to report that it was Xu Zhao, the defensive envoy of Youzhou, who asked for a meeting with him.

Wang Yang could only say hello to his wife and children apologetically. When he arrived at the front hall, he saw a Yuanyou armor wearing a piece of heroic Xu Zhao. At this moment, he was standing in the front hall. On the ground in front was a door panel, with an injured person lying on it. An old man was sitting next to him, as if he should pay attention to the situation of the injured person at any time.

Wang Yang couldn't help but be stunned, and his eyes fell on Xu Zhao who was so armored. "Xu Zhao, you are..."

"I have met the master. This man was a tycoon at the Yongsheng Escort Agency in Youzhou. The day before yesterday, he escorted a batch of silk from the Zhao clan business. He was only a hundred miles away from the city and camped in an abandoned post tower.

As a result, he was strangled by more than a hundred unknown iron armored knights. Twenty-four escorts, only one survived, seven Ma Li, twelve guards, and shopkeeper Liu from Zhao's trading company all died tragically on the spot…”

Upon hearing the news, Wang Yang couldn't help but take a breath, his face turned gloomy, he walked to the injured person, looked at the other party's wounds, and asked lightly. "What else?"

Xu Zhao also came over and pointed to the injured person who was sleeping at the moment. "He escaped by luck and was rescued by a carriage. He heard from him that he would tell the emperor that he would know about this matter."

"This is a feather arrow that Mo Jiang personally rushed to the abandoned wardhouse and found. The handwriting on it was checked and confirmed to be Khitan. In addition, when he was still awake, he once told Mo Jiang that what the other party said was neither our Song Dynasty nor the Dangxiang language..."

"In addition, the last time, I followed the hoof prints. I first walked nearly ten miles towards the direction of Yuzhou, then turned north, and then entered the Gobi area. I had no way to continue tracking..."

"What is your judgment by General Xu?" Wang Yang played with the feather arrow and tried hard to prevent himself from being blinded by anger.

"This is the only feather arrow I found at the scene of the murder. I think the other party must be afraid of revealing his identity, so he wrapped iron armor outside the leather robe to cover his eyes and ears.

And after killing people, all the arrows were pulled out. Only this one was hanging on the wooden beam in the air, and the location was very hidden. I guess it was because it was dark and the other party could not find it. Otherwise, maybe even this feather arrow would not be left behind..."

"So, the last one thinks that the one who kills people and robs money is likely to be the border army of the Liao Kingdom."

Wang Yang squatted down, looked at the tattered leather robes, narrowed his eyes, and after a long time, he slowly realized.

"The Liao people... more than a hundred iron-armored cavalry could appear near Youzhou. They were neither discovered by the security forces in Baichicheng, nor were they discovered by the Wanjingkou in the north and the Sanchakou in the east."
