Chapter 142 Abnormal noise!
"After getting the letter, the other party asked us to go to Liulang Mountain, so we went there immediately. After we arrived, we heard a strange noise, but when we looked carefully, we didn't see anyone, and then we were at the entrance of Liulang Mountain.
Three carts of military crossbows were found, totaling more than 800..."
Listening to what Meng Qun said, Qin Yi suddenly shouted, "Wait a minute, did you hear any strange noises when you passed by?"
Meng Qun nodded, "Yes, there was movement, so I was very cautious and did not approach immediately. At that time, I was still worried that I would fall into the opponent's plan, so I sent many brothers to check around, but nothing was found wrong.
Only then do you dare to step forward to collect the crossbow."
"Didn't see anyone?" Qin Yi asked with a frown.
Meng Qun responded, "Indeed."
There must be something wrong here... Qin Yi is slightly concerned.
After listening to Meng Qun explain the whole process, Qin Yi fell into deep thought without saying a word.
After a while, he didn't say much, turned around and wanted to leave.
Unexpectedly, Meng Qun suddenly said, "If you have any doubts, you can ask again, and I will definitely explain everything."
After a pause, Qin Yi turned around and saw a sinister smile on Meng Qun's face, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
He knew that Meng Qun was so cooperative just to put him in danger.
This guy is really a bad guy. Even if he was about to die, he would not forget to frame others.
Qin Yi felt contempt in his heart and was too lazy to pay attention. He turned around and walked out of the cell, only to hear high-pitched laughter coming from behind.
"Hahahaha..."
Zhang Qianhu was angry. He hated such arrogant gangsters the most. He strode forward and kicked Meng Qun in the abdomen. The man's laughter stopped abruptly and he fell to the ground with a pale face.
Even so, even though the pain was excruciating, Meng Qun still smiled, silently, with crazy eyes, as if he had foreseen the scene where Qin Yi would accompany him to the underworld.
Zhang Qianhu snorted angrily and walked out of the cell.
After locking the cell door, Qin Yi walked out.
Along the way, he was so silent that Zhang Qianhu was secretly surprised.
Qin Yi was just silent and not depressed. Could it be that he found the information he wanted in this interview?
Zhang Qianhu frowned and recalled, going through what Meng Qun said in his mind, he found nothing wrong.
To say there is, there is an abnormal sound, which is indeed unusual.
But it is also possible that Meng Qun and others were too nervous, which led to the auditory hallucinations.
Or the movement of other wild animals.
Otherwise, if Meng Qun sent people to search around, they would definitely find something, and the result was nothing wrong.
In addition, their imperial spy guards have also sent people to search the surroundings carefully in the past few days, but nothing has been found.
So he felt that Qin Yi would definitely return without success this time!
After leaving the prison, he returned the key to the jailer and said goodbye. Qin Yi took thirty imperial guards and mounted their horses and galloped towards Liulang Mountain.
After more than an hour, everyone came to Liulang Mountain, where the military crossbows had been piled at the mouth of the valley.
Qin Yi looked around and found that the mouth of the valley was not big and there were not many trees around it, making it difficult to hide anyone.
So he looked up and looked around and found that there were many hills around, all covered by lush forests.
This is normal. Liulang Mountain is actually a mountain range with many towering peaks.
This is also the reason why the Royal Spy Guards cannot use the crowd tactic. There are many mountains, and their number is small. In addition, it is impossible to stay here for years, so they cannot carefully search every mountain.
Without evidence, it is unrealistic to call in the garrison in Dasuoquan Mountain.
So there may be omissions, which is why King Mu asked Qin Yi.
Looking into the distance for a moment, Qin Yi pondered secretly.
Meng Qun wanted to put himself in danger, so it was unlikely that he would lie, so what he said should be regarded as the truth for the time being.
In addition, based on Meng Qun's caution, he should not have misheard when he said there was a strange noise.
Even if it is an auditory hallucination, treat it as if it is not an auditory hallucination first.
Could that be the movement of wild animals?
Qin Yi secretly frowned, it was possible, but if you want to infer, you must choose a logical guess, follow this guess to find clues, and then continue guessing.
So he decided to deal with this movement as a human being.
If it was man-made, it must be the person behind the scenes.
The strange sound occurred and then disappeared, obviously the other party was hiding.
It's not easy to hide in the valley here, it's most likely hidden in the surrounding hills.
So which mountain is it?
Qin Yi frowned and looked around.
Zhang Qianhu, who was on the side, was secretly observing Qin Yi. He was suddenly surprised when he saw that the other party was standing there, seemingly deep in thought, his eyes constantly scanning the surrounding mountains.
Could it be that the other party thinks there is someone hiding in the mountain?
Thinking of this, Zhang Qianhu's heart suddenly trembled!
By the way, why can't it be that someone has been hidden on the mountain?
Why do you think it is lurking around?
Zhang Qianhu discovered that he had made a major oversight!
But immediately, he shook his head secretly. He was surrounded by mountains. There were at least thirty peaks, each towering into the clouds. They did not have enough manpower to search for them one by one.
"Search that mountain peak." When Zhang Qianhu was questioning, Qin Yi suddenly said.
He pointed to a relatively tall mountain peak at a moderate distance in the distance.
Zhang Qianhu was stunned for a moment. He didn't know the reason. He wanted to ask, but he was afraid of being ridiculed by Qin Yi, so he suppressed it.
Immediately afterwards, he had a vague guess that Qin Yi's order was just perfunctory, so that King Mu knew that he was indeed doing something and had someone search for him.
Maybe, he chose this mountain peak at random.
Thinking like this, he no longer had any doubts. He was just a little disdainful and did not respond. He directly said to the surrounding imperial guards, "Let's go and take a look."
Qin Yi was so perfunctory that Zhang Qianhu gave up all hope. He felt that there would be no harvest in searching on that mountain peak, so he planned to bring people back after searching casually.
Qin Yi didn't know Zhang Qianhu's inner thoughts. The reason why he asked the spy guards to search the mountain was because the mountain was very suspicious.
The main messenger behind the scenes left someone behind this time. In addition to guarding the military crossbow, he also had another purpose, that is, he wanted to see if the person who came to take the military crossbow was a bandit.
If it is a bandit, the mission has been accomplished.
The opponent has huge power and cannot act carelessly, so this guess is completely logical.
If you want to observe, it is not easy to hide people in the valley here, so you can only hide around.
The distance must be enough so that it cannot be found, but it must be visible. So that mountain peak is the best choice.
You can climb high and see far away, and you can also hide your figure.
This was an inference made by Qin Yi after deep contemplation. He believed that it was more likely, so he asked the imperial guards to search for it, instead of targeting it without any target.
He secretly hoped that the Imperial Spy Guard would find useful clues on that mountain peak.
