Chapter 22 The Unicorn Tiger
Chapter 22 The One-horned Tiger
...
Having said that, Lei Qing didn't like to have sex with no other reason. He immediately did not mention the destruction of the corpse and traces, and also made many suspicion with Zuo Qianqian, which made people not know that the one-eyed dragon was dead. When he returned to the village and sent off the women, he lied that the one-eyed dragon was targeted by a master to take his life and escaped with his confidant. Although this may make the poor women feel panic and live in fear, it is better than telling them the truth.
At the same time, Lei Qing gave twice the severance payment. He told them not to go home for the time being, but to put on makeup and go to the homes of relatives and friends who are far away from home to avoid the limelight, and to wait until the matter fades before coming back.
When the women asked about their benefactor's name and wanted to go back and set up the tablet of immortality, Lei Qing also casually talked about his name and confused him.
Finally, after everyone was dismissed, Lei Qing piled up all the bodies and burned the broken mountain village with a torch.
After finishing the destruction of corpses, Lei Qing and Zuo Qianqian also headed into the mountain.
This is how to set up a suspicion array and some traces of destruction. It is definitely not possible to completely conceal the thorough investigation of the secret powerful and powerful. But at least it can be delayed for a while. At that time, if everything goes well, Lei Qing and Zuo Qianqian will have already run to the other end of the mountain range.
In addition, Zuo Qianqian also came up with a bad idea, asking Lei Qing to write a letter to Luo Shizi Yu Shanshan to explain these situations. This was something Lei Qingji was unwilling to do, but after Zuo Qianqian's analysis, he had to obey.
Zuo Qianqian's words make sense. Although Yu Shanshan is Lei Qing's enemy, her identity is Yu Tianji's daughter, who is less than ten thousand people in the Tianlan Empire. According to Yu Tianji's identity, it may be difficult to engage in smuggling or stolen the country. Even if Yu Shanshan has a grudge against Lei Qing, she will not joke about such an important national event, and she will definitely lead to Yu Tianji.
Once Yu Tianji knew about this, he would definitely mobilize his power to investigate the matter. Even if he could not find out the powerful and smuggled and sold the country, he would at least make the powerful and noble person not dare to act rashly, so as not to cause trouble. Even if he wanted to investigate, he would have many concerns and dare not blatantly.
Under this principle, Lei Qing naturally had to agree. What's more, although he had some grudges and entanglements with Yu Shanshan before, Yu Tianji has not burned the fire to the Lei family so far. The Lei family has also been a lord in the Tianlan Empire for generations, and the interests of the large family for generations are tied to the Tianlan Empire.
Lei Qing grew up in the Tianlan Empire since childhood, and he may not have too many feelings about his motherland. However, once something that harms the interests and safety of the country is involved, Lei Qing is somewhat obliged. After all, as a member of the Tianlan Empire, Lei Qing is unwilling to be plotted and bullied by other countries in terms of identity and emotion.
The only small problem was how to hand the letter to Yu Shanshan. Fortunately, this was not too difficult. I found a hunter who had a good reputation and seemed to have been out there. I gave him some money and asked him to help deliver it to the imperial capital. The hunter was unwilling at first, but I heard Lei Qing say that they had just wiped out the one-eyed dragon and the scarred old wolf, giving it two harms to the nearby one. Immediately, the hunter promised to deliver it with his life.
Of course, if an ordinary person had probably walked into the door of the cabinet's chief minister's house and handed the letter to Yu Shanshan? But Lei Qing gave the hunter a plan, and he could see Yu Shanshan immediately after talking to the gatekeeper. Although Yu Shanshan hated Lei Qing, with her status, of course, it would not be difficult for a letter to send a hunter who had nothing to do with Lei Qing.
Although Lei Qing was not sure, this letter would definitely be delivered to Yu Shanshan, and it would not be guaranteed that things would follow their own ideas. But they could only do their best and leave their fate.
Then, Lei Qing and Zuo Qianqian quickly set off. Every time they delayed here for one more day, they would suffer more danger.
The goal of this trip is naturally the Free Alliance on the other side of the Tianji Mountains.
The Tianji Mountains are a natural barrier between the Tianlan Empire and the Free Alliance. Only in the middle can countless manpower and material resources be consumed. At the narrowest part of the mountain range, a passage is winding along the mountain and natural cliffs, called the Tianji Corridor.
The Sky Ridge Corridor is also one of the famous spectacles on the mainland. The cliffs on both sides stand tall, like cutting a knife and cutting axe, and it stretches for a hundred miles. Looking down from the sky, it looks like a giant dragon lying horizontally, which is called a majestic view.
If you want to go to the Free Alliance, it is safest and most comfortable to walk on the Tianji Corridor. But as the border between the two countries, there are many sent posts and strict guards. A hundred miles away, there are four passes. With Lei Qing's identity that Yu Shanshan is so concerned about now, she may have sent someone to guard the pass of the Tianji Corridor.
Fortunately, the entire Tianji Mountain Range is winding for thousands of miles long, with small groups of people and horses, and there are many places to cross. Of course, the danger is also very high. Every year, I don’t know how many smugglers or fugitives, and want to cross the Tianji Mountain Range, but the result is all kinds of deaths. Those who accidentally fell to death, those who were poisoned by miasma, and some died of avalanches and cracks. But more of them died in the mouths of various monsters and poisonous insects.
Even if a powerful expert wants to cross, he must consider whether it is worth it.
...
Lianyun Peak is a steep mountain nearby. The mountain is extremely high and some of it has stood among the clouds. The peak is named after it. In addition, because of its strange geography, it is like a thunder-induced place. The top of the mountain has been lightning and thunder for years.
One of the three famous evils in a radius of hundreds of miles nearby, the one-horned tiger is dominant here. Compared with the bandits of the One-Eyed Dragon, the one-Eyed Dragon has a lower harm to the nearby mountain villages. Only when you are extremely hungry will you risk going down the mountain, dragging some animals away or filling your stomach.
But the harm is small, which does not mean that the one-horned tiger is easy to deal with. On the contrary, the one-horned tiger is the most difficult to deal with among the three evils.
Even if a tiger is not a monster, it is also a ferocious beast at the high end of the food chain in nature. Once it is baptized by time and gradually grows into a monster, it will become even stronger. All kinds of instincts, strength, and wisdom will expand rapidly.
There are many hunters and passers-by, as well as the powerful men who pass by, who have wanted to deal with the one-horned tiger. However, they all miscalculated the strength of the one-horned tiger. Although the one-horned tiger is only the middle level of bronze, the tiger becomes a monster, which is very powerful.
Those who have few people go either to be eaten or even to find the one-horned tiger. Once there are many people, they will go up the mountain to encircle and suppress the one-horned tiger, and will lie in a cunning way and then come out to commit crimes after the limelight.
Lei Qing is going to deal with the Unicorn Tiger this time. First, he will remove another harm from the nearby area, which can be regarded as a complete elimination of evil. Second, the Unicorn Tiger is a thunder monster, and the thunder monster crystal core is something Lei Qing needs. Now, his cultivation has been firmly at the high level of bronze. There is such a good quality thunder monster crystal core, and he may encounter a bottleneck when he encounters a bottleneck. If he is lucky, he may have a chance to go further.
Hunting monsters is also a huge and specialized science. Lei Qing originally knew almost nothing about it. There were no ferocious beasts for you to hunt for hundreds of miles around the imperial capital. At most, it was a group of so-called playboys who went out to shoot rabbits and pheasants, but the purpose was probably to coax girls.
Lei Qing doesn't understand, but it doesn't mean Zuo Qianqian doesn't understand. Zuo Qianqian has grown up in a mountain village since she was a child. She will start to condom rabbits at the age of seven or eight. She has also hunted many kinds of ferocious beasts, and recently she has had the idea of a scar-headed wolf.
Naturally, she also had a lot of knowledge about the ferocious beast on Lianyun Peak, but she was not sure and did not dare to start. With Zuo Qianqian, a hunting master, and Lei Qing, the existence of high martial arts value, the two of them cooperated, it was really perfect.
Lianyunshan is getting colder as he goes up, and Lei Qing is also wrapped in a wolf-skinned fur coat. This fur coat is made of a scar-headed wolf. After being tanned by Zuo Qianqian, who is skillful, he sews out a fur coat with stitches. The scar-headed wolf, as strong as a calf, has a rich leather and excellent cold resistance. Because of the lot of skin, Zuo Qianqian sewed two pieces, one big and one small.
Suddenly, Zuo Qianqian whispered, squatted down and looked at some footprints on the snow, and whispered: "Brother Lei, these footprints are very fresh, and the one-horned tiger is probably nearby."
