Yingqiu is located in Chuanping.
The eldest, second, fourth and fifth of the five bird brothers kept watch day and night until the sky turned white. The person they were waiting for did not appear. The third of them who went to the unknown town to investigate never came back.
An ominous premonition began to pervade the hearts of the four. None of the four spoke, but were silent. Without the old three Li Yi, they suddenly found that they were uncertain about what to do next.
Just then, a man and a horse suddenly appeared on the line in the distance.
"It's the third brother's horse!" Old five Yi Xun cried.
He only talked about horses, but not people. The other three looked gloomy. Zhang Hong, the boss, raised his hand and motioned. The four endured and found their own positions to hide according to the previous deployment.
This routine was designed by the old three, but now his horse is coming back, but no one is there. Who is the man holding the third horse? Lupin? But they shouldn't be four in one line, should they?
One man and one horse came straight towards the woods where they were ambushing. When they got closer, they finally saw that there was not only a man and a horse, but also a man on the horse's back. He looked down and couldn't see clearly, but his clothes were the same as those of the four of them.
Old five Yi Xun almost rushed out, but was stopped by boss Zhang Hong. They can basically confirm that the horse is carrying their third Li Yi. At present, life and death are unknown, and they don't know what the visitor's intention is. The four people continue to wait until the visitor enters their ambush. Anyway, take the initiative first.
Just a little closer, the visitor's eyebrows were finally clear.
It was not any of the four Lu Ping who led the third man to ride. It was Yu Ruo, the Lord of Chuanping city.
What happened?
The four people were confused. After looking at each other, they remained silent. Yu Ruo led his horse forward, but stopped more than ten steps outside the ambush of the four.
"Several adults, do you want to ambush with me?" Yu Ruo cried.
The four figures emerged from the forest, but their eyes fell on the figure carried by the horse.
"I'm sorry." Yu Ruo said.
The four Taoist shadows immediately flew out, and Qi Qi fell in front of the horse. When he looked around, it was their third Li Yi who was carried by the horse, but he had died for a long time.
"Who is it?" The eldest Zhang Hong roared, and their eyes locked on Yu Ruo.
"I don't know. When I found it, there was only one person, one horse." Yu Ruo Dao.
"Who found it and where?" Zhang Hong then asked.
"In the eastern suburb of Yingcheng, merchants passing by found it." Yu Ruo Dao.
Yingcheng!
The four want to fly, but for now they still need more information. Dead people can't speak, but animals are no different from people in the eyes of bionic experts. It's a big mistake for the other party to kill people rather than horses.
But their faces soon changed.
Communicating with animals is a small means in the bionics department, but at present, they have nothing to communicate with the horse. All they know is that he walked aimlessly with the body of Li Yi on his back until he was found.
"The horse was tampered with." The second Yu Gang said in a deep voice.
"The other party is a master of bionics." Zhang Hong nodded.
"That shouldn't be Lu Ping?" Old four Xu Yuan wondered. According to the information they currently have, Lu Ping's people do not have bionic means, which is one of the reasons why the National Defense Association sent their five brothers to carry out this task.
With that, the four looked at Yu Ruo. Yu Ruo didn't show any expression about their judgment on the horse. He seemed to have known this for a long time.
"As far as I know, there is no master of Bionics in Chuanping." Facing the eyes of the four, Yu Ruo said.
"If you have any opinion, you can say it directly." Boss Zhang Hong said.
"The cause of death is a little strange." Yu Ruo Dao.
"Cause of death?" Zhang Hong looked around. The other three were also checking Li Yi's body at this time. As a result, they did show a puzzled look.
"It's suffocation." Old four Xu Yuan said.
"No injuries, just suffocation." Old five Yi Xun added one point.
"It looks like there's no resistance, so I'm suffocating." Yu Ruo said.
This is really strange.
Suffocation is a slow process, especially for practitioners. This process may do too much and create too many possibilities. Therefore, whether it is a sneak attack or a trap, there is no trace of struggle and resistance, which is so abnormal that people can't think of what kind of situation this is.
So far, all the clues were interrupted. The four people relied on Li Yi to make up their mind. At this time, they suddenly seemed helpless. In the end, his eyes fell on Yu Ruo again.
"Why did Yu Chengzhu appear here?" Boss Zhang Hong asked.
"After receiving the report, I found it was Lord Li and sent it to several people in person." Yu Ruo said.
"How did you know we were here?" Zhang Hong asked.
"There are few things I don't know about Chuanping district." Yu Ruo Dao.
"Do you know where Lu Ping is? Do you know who killed my third brother? " Xu Yuandao.
"So I say very little, not No." Yu Ruo is calm.
Seeing that the four people were speechless, Yu Ruo continued: "Lord Li will give it to several people. What's next? Please consider it for yourself. If you have any needs, it doesn't matter. Chuanping district will fully cooperate."
With that, after giving a little salute to the four, he turned around and left slowly along the way he came. The four brothers of five birds were at a loss. Track down the killer? Ambush Lu Ping and his party? Without the backbone of Li Yi, the four suddenly felt that they had no direction.
"Find the murderer anyway!" Boss Zhang Hong, at this time, he stood up and expressed his attitude first. The other three also nodded solemnly, but such a statement seems to be just empty words at present.
"Although our brothers have also made friends with some people in recent years, they have not been in an endless situation with anyone. At least I don't. The third is the most stable of the five of us. If he wants to, he won't tell us. What about you? Is there such an enemy? " Zhang Hong looked at Sanren.
"The five of us have one heart and have enemies. They are also our enemies together. There is no such private resentment." Old four Xu Yuan said.
"No."
"No."
The other two also expressed their positions one after another.
"Then the motive of the murderer is not difficult to see. He may not be Lu Ping, but he must have something to do with them. The third man tracked down Lu Ping and their whereabouts. The murderer killed the third man in order to cover Lu Ping and them. This is the only motive I can think of at present. " Boss Zhang Hongdao.
"That's right!" The other three nodded together.
"So if you want to avenge the old three, it will still fall on Lu Ping and them." Boss Zhang Hongdao.
"But they... Shouldn't come here?" Old five Yi Xun said.
One day and one night, based on their estimation of the footpath of Lu Ping and his party, if they inferred the route, they would have reached Yingqiu long ago. I didn't arrive. I think I changed the line. If the four hadn't waited here for the news of Lao San Li Yi, they wouldn't have waited so foolishly.
"Start from scratch! Look for the whereabouts of Lu Ping and his party! " Zhang Dahong gave the order.
"Yes!" The other three answered. This time, not only the task handed down by the Empire, but also the blood feud of the third Li Yi should find a breakthrough from Lu Ping.
"Let's go!" Several people's mounts were pulled out of the forest. The four people stepped on the horses one after another. Finally, they took a look at the old three Li Yi who was still carried on the horse's back and left in this way.
The practitioners of bionics emphasize the relationship between man and nature. If not necessary, they just ignore the dead bodies and let the natural environment destroy them. The third man's body was found in this way. The murderer also followed the tradition of bionics.
Be sure to find him!
With this in mind, the four returned to the road.
Yu Ruo, the Lord of Chuanping, who was separated from them, soon appeared outside the camp of the Jialing Navy.
"What about Xu Qingfeng? I'm looking for him. "
