Chapter 36 The Grass Snake and the Gray Line

After the fire, the grass chips turned into ashes. After the wind blew, the rock walls on both sides were steep, leaving scratches. The trunks were burned. On the bare branches, there was a green grass snake hanging on it. It entrenched its body and wrapped around the branches. It raised its flat head, with its calm and cold pupils, staring at the group in the middle of the road. The snake's tail swayed in the wind, hissing a letter.

The men in big gray robe squatted down, staring silently at the tragic situation on the ground.

It has been a while since the incident happened.

The blood had dried up, and only a little red could be seen blurredly, like amber or firing and smelting red crystals, embedded in the pits on the ground.

The carriage at the time of the incident moved horizontally, leaving traces of scraping on the ground, as if someone was pushing it inch by heavy edge on the ground.

"The iron chain hit the pit on the ground, with some blood stains..." A man slowly stretched out his palm and stroked the ground at the soles of his feet. He whispered: "The person who robbed the third prince of his goods... The sword technique is very good. He shattered the iron chain of the chariot with one sword. The chain is cast iron. The royal family will not use these inferior chains. There are also a group of people, who should be local horse thieves. If they dare to rob the goods, they must be the second prince of the East Realm behind them."

"The 'hand' that the second prince stretched out was cut off by this sword. The iron chain is the best evidence." The man in gray robe stood up, licked his fingers, and said, "There is a third-party interceptor, and his cultivation is not high, but the sword weapon is very sharp. The horse thief is not his opponent. Where have these horse thieves gone?"

The others looked at each other, not knowing how to respond.

The man in the gray robe in the lead could not see his expression clearly. He turned his head and flowed lights flew over not far away. Someone stepped on the hanging sword and said with a gloomy face: "Old man Song is dead."

"Song Qiong is at the tenth level of cultivation. In order to cut off a batch of goods, the second prince crossed the east and west realms at any cost and asked people above the tenth level to take action?" The man in gray robe smiled and said, "I guess it was done by Shushan."

The man stepping on the hanging sword didn't look very good. He was the group of people who chased Xu Zang in Qingbai City. He came from Wuliang Mountain in a young age.

"The Third Prince will arrive in the Western Region soon. If this batch of goods is lost, the second prince's purpose has been achieved. He doesn't care who falls into his hands, but we are embarrassed." The man in gray robe said calmly: "We stand in front of His Royal Highness, and we can't even do this... How should we deal with ourselves in the future?"

"Su Ku, this is the Shushan area, and it is not easy to cause trouble." The man stepping on the hanging sword took a breath. In terms of seniority, he was only half lower than Su Ku. They were both law enforcement elders of Xiao Wuliang Mountain and Jianhu Palace. But in terms of cultivation, he was in the tenth realm, and Su Ku ordered his life star, and the difference between the two was like a cloud of mud.

"The Thousand Hands in Shushan are very powerful, the blind man is very powerful, and the gambler is okay." Su Ku closed his big gray robe, his voice was extremely plain, and he said, "Who else is there except the three of them?"

On Mount Shu, there are only three practitioners who have broken through the tenth level.

The little Wuliang Mountain elder who was stepping on the hanging sword frowned and shook his head slightly with the movement. He knew that Su Ku had just broken through the tenth realm and arrived at Shushan, and he was arrogant and reminded him: "Su Ku, you and I are all doing things for the Third Highness. This trip was not to offend Shushan, but to win over the confluence."

"What a man who is trying to win over the river, who is it? Shushan?" The man in gray robe followed behind him. He raised his eyebrows, looked at the man who stepped on the sword, and asked, "There are not enough people killed by Xu Zang in your little Wuliang Mountain? You Zheng Qi went to Qingbai City in person, but got the head of the person named Xu?"

The little Wuliangshan law enforcement elder named Zheng Qi looked red, his sleeves shaking, his hanging sword trembled back and forth, and all the children behind him raised their eyebrows and looked at each other with anger. They were all angry and could not say the last word.

Su Ku sneered and ignored him.

He followed the entire road, looking for the breath, followed by two groups of people, and there was a faint atmosphere of tension.

The grass snake hanging on the trunk of the tree turned its head and stopped looking. With a click, it fell to the ground and flowed through the rocks. The traces of the journey dragged out a long gray line.

......

......

"There was a fight here, which was even more intense and faster than before."

In front of two huge dead trees, Su Ku stopped. He stared at the iron arrow inserted into the trunk, and shot into the tree's body spiraled. The wood chips had already been destroyed. Most of the main trunk of the big tree was burned by the flames. He slowly stretched out his hand, held the middle of the iron arrow, feeling the cold temperature, and the starlight slowly overflowed and lingered around his wrist.

Su Ku closed his eyes and seemed to see the scene that night.

The man in a gray robe moved his head, closed his eyes and was in the darkness, aiming his "eyes" at a hill, facing each other from afar.

He could "see" that someone was standing on that mountain, twisting arrows, confronting and shooting down.

On that hill, many people and horses were shooting out with arrow feathers, pulling out the knife weapon, and rushing out like a tide. The target was these two trees... No, there was only one tree, the previous one had been shot through by the quenched arrow and burned to the point of being incredible.

Is there a person hidden behind the tree?

Su Ku slowly opened his eyes, and he stared at the traces of chaos on the ground. Under the starry gaze of his eyes, some blood was still noticeable and obvious even after forty days of wind drying. An arrow shot from that hill, and four arrows and five arrows were shot in total. This is not important... What's important is that Su Ku saw two arrow bodies that were very far apart.

He was split by a sword, and the arrow body was shot and rotated at a high speed, but was still cut by the sword weapon. This technique was exactly the same as the person who was intercepting the goods... Su Ku had no expression on his face, and he raised his eyebrows gently. The person who was intercepting the goods used the sword posture was to jump high and then cut down, unable to judge the shape. Now the sword is from bottom up, and the starlight rolls in his mind, gets up and snatches the arrow, and the scene of wielding the sword and slashing the arrow slowly emerges in Su Ku's pupils, condensing and forming.

This is a boy, a boy who is no more than sixteen years old. His height and form appear in Su Ku's mind. When the practitioner breaks through the tenth level, the power of Starlight begins to become powerful and comprehensive. The wonderful method of Jianhu Palace can expand the soul sea, so Su Ku's soul sea is extremely strong.

In other words, he has a different deduction ability than ordinary people.

Su Ku stood there and thought silently for a long time.

There is no blood on the top of the mountain. Where is the person who shoots the archery? He ran away and ran away? Can you still catch him?

Su Ku personally went to the bandits and horse thieves' hamlets, but did not kill anyone. He just showed his "cultivation", and he easily got the crowd and obedience of these horse thieves.

The one who tried to rob His Highness of the goods was the largest horse thief gang, the Jin Qian Gang, who had disappeared... In fact, Su Ku vaguely guessed that the Jin Qian Gang might have died.

Finally, he got a very important message.

Last month, when the heavy rain continued, a young man held an umbrella sword that was invincible and started killing horse thieves in the suburbs.

Somewhat ironically, it is said that the young man's surname is Li.

However, the clues were interrupted.

The people from Jianhu Palace and Xiao Wuliang Mountain were inconvenient to exert their power in the territory of Shushan, and the acquisition of information became difficult. Even if Su Ku took action himself and searched Caogu City for a whole day, he did not find any boy named Li who met the conditions. All the information did not match or match.

In Su Ku's heart, the young man who killed people on a rainy day and the figure who intercepted the third prince's goods had overlapped and merged with the figure.

The boy used his pseudonym and pseudonym very cunningly.

Shushan is 3,000 miles in a radius, and there are more than ten small towns nearby, with a total of 200,000 people.

The carriage arrived closer and closer.

Su Ku got stuck in the last step.

Until the final arrival.

......

......

Su Ku greeted the highness in a complicated mood. Li Bailin did not get off the car. The one who got off the car was a thin young man with a little white temple and looked a little sick.

The people from Xiao Wuliang Mountain and Jianhu Palace knew that this was His Highness’s teacher.

Xu Qingke listened to Su Ku's words in silence, and after about a while, he learned about the progress of the matter.

"This batch of goods... is not actually important, but the occurrence of this matter is very important." The young man who got off the bus said this and said in a plain manner: "This batch of goods can be intercepted by anyone. Anyway, we will settle the score with Li Baijing, but if someone knows that this is our product, he still dares to intercept... then he should die. As for his surname Li or not, the ending will be the same."

Li Bailin's carriage extended the road that Su Ku walked, walked again, and finally stopped in the area of ​​the small hill and two dead trees.

Li Bailin closed his eyes and rested.

Xu Qingke got off the car and took the several iron arrows handed over by Su Ku. These arrows were either pulled out from the ground or from the trunk of a tree, with rust and blood. He just glanced at them and handed them back again.

These are very important clues.

But these are not the most important clues.

Xu Qingke left for an hour and returned to the carriage again. He grabbed a piece of feather arrow in his hand. Ordinary wooden feather arrows could be summarized into the arrowheads and are commonly used arrows for hunters.

He was almost shattered by the sperm arrow.

He looked at the third prince, spread his palms and said calmly: "As long as things happen in this world happen, it will happen. There is always a way to find clues."

Li Bailin stared at the feather arrow and whispered: "What is the clue?"

"The clue is... this feather arrow. The texture, material, region, and inscriptions are enough for us to find the source of goods. The source of goods means the region, and the truth that is closer." Xu Qingke smiled and said: "This is a long process, and we may have to wait for a while."

Li Bailin said in a gentle voice: "We still have some serious business."

"That's a pity." Xu Qingke smiled, stretched out half of his body from the window, preparing to throw the feather arrows out. Looking at the trees that began to retreat outside, he murmured in his heart: "Good luck to you."

Then he saw a man who was slowly standing up in the bushes, incredibly embarrassed.

The time when the eyes were intertwined was only a short breath.

The man was holding a red rope and tied a copper coin in his hand. He was covered in blood, miserable and determined, looking at him, as if he had long guessed that the third prince's carriage would pass by here.

The only one who survived the Money Gang.

During these forty days, the second leader of the Money Gang deeply realized how terrible the will of the big man far away in the East Realm was. After the failure of intercepting goods, the gangs and various forces in the martial arts world were in turmoil and chasing themselves, the last remnant, and he had no way out.
