1159 Sound of East and West

At the same time, Shen Lie stepped forward to protect Xia Zhaoyi.

Inside the box is a pile of twisted heads, which have not turned into white bones. The texture and tissue are still there, and the facial features can be vaguely distinguished. Some are old, some are young, and some are even toddlers.

Xia Zhaoyi leaned over to take a look, but Shen Lie stopped her and placed a handkerchief in her palm.

A light green silk scarf with his body temperature and the fragrance of "Laughing Dui" on it.

"Don't touch it with your hands." Shen Lie said.

Xia Zhaoyi smiled: "Okay, thank you very much."

She wrapped it in a handkerchief and poked one of the heads lightly, causing the corpse's old yellow skin to sink slightly.

"It's not a clay sculpture," Xia Zhaoyi said with a frown, "It's so soft, which is very different from the stiffness after air-drying. Feng Qingang's anti-corrosion work is really good."

She picked up a head from the box. The head had a ferocious face, its mouth was wide open, and its upper and lower gums were misaligned, as if it had been forcibly dislocated.

The broken part of the neck does not look like it was cut off with a knife, but more like tearing. It should be that the head was removed after death, unless it was torn apart by a car.

However, the fractures in so many necks were so messy that it was impossible to cut so many people into pieces just by the strong wind.

Xia Zhaoyi looked at other boxes.

"These boxes are all locked," Zhao Yu said. "Ji Sheng turned around and saw no one. It can be seen that the two women you are looking for are hiding somewhere else."

Xia Zhaoyi put the head back and closed the lid.

"Do you want to open these boxes?" Shen Lie asked.

"Find Chu Zheng first," Xia Zhaoyi said, "We can send someone to this place after we return."

"Okay." Shen Lie said.

Zhao Xun breathed a sigh of relief: "That's right. A place like this should be destroyed directly and destroyed in one fell swoop. Just a few of us, there are many traps and traps."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a movement outside.

Several people were shocked and hurried out immediately.

Where the sound comes from, the light of the small oil ball lamp cannot shine for the time being.

"I'll go take a look." Shen Lie said in a deep voice and walked quickly.

Xia Zhaoyi followed immediately without saying a word.

Zhao Xun hurriedly grabbed her: "Ah Li!"

Xia Zhaoyi turned around.

Zhao Gong reached out and gently held Qian Sibi hanging under Xia Zhao's waist: "Ahem... you actually put it away, aren't you afraid that my son will run away?"

Xia Zhaoyi took a deep breath, took off Qian Si Bi, and gently wrapped the soft handle around her palm: "Let's go."

Zhao Yu raised the corners of his lips and looked at Ji Sheng: "Let's go!"

After finishing his speech, he looked at Shen Lie in front of him.

Shen Lie stood sideways and stopped there, his brows were handsome and cold, and the gaze he cast was very calm, but it made Zhao Xun feel cold and deep, like a cold blade, staring at him silently, which made him shudder.

Fortunately, Shen Lie glanced at him twice and then looked away.

"Prince..." Ji Sheng stepped forward and whispered beside Zhao Yu.

"It's so heavy," Zhao Xun's voice was also very soft, "it's really annoying."

Although he said it was annoying, Zhao Xun had to admit that this time he came down and felt completely different from the previous one.

This strange and gloomy space seemed less scary because of the two people walking in front of him.

Regardless of the corpse or the darkness, the trap or the cold arrow, with these two people around, Zhao Yu felt quite stable and at ease.

It seems that the dangers hiding in the darkness are no longer ferocious beasts, these two are the real hunters. Considering their undefeated record in the past few years, they are still senior hunters who have been in high positions for a long time.

As soon as the angle changed, Zhao Qi suddenly felt enlightened.

Also, one is her sister, the apprentice of the old man Li Ling. She was only ten years old and turned the entire capital upside down.

One is the supreme commander of the Yan army. In less than half a month, he led a group of ruffian and lazy Tanzhou soldiers to defeat tens of thousands of fierce and fierce horse bandits outside Panyu Pass.

With these two people walking in front and taking the risk for him, he just treated it as a curiosity.

A male corpse was lying on the ground, his eyes were wide open, and the eyeballs were bulging, as if they were about to protrude.

His neck and face were almost scratched to pieces, the veins on his face were swollen, and his gray complexion was covered with streaks of blood.

Xia Zhaoyi grabbed his finger with a kerchief, which was full of flesh and blood.

Zhao Xun recognized his face: "He is Zhao Huien's subordinate!"

Xia Zhaoyi used a dagger in one hand and a handkerchief in the other to unbutton the man's clothes. After taking a quick look, she turned him over and saw something abnormal on the back of his neck.

"The cause of death was poisoning." Xia Zhaoyi said, reaching out and pulling out the two silver needles on the right side of the man's neck.

The top of the silver needle was red, as bright as lipstick, and the color was dazzling. Black blood that was about to solidify dripped from the silver needle.

"Is this blood poisonous?" Zhao Xun asked.

"Whether it's poisonous or not, other people's blood, especially the blood of dead people, should not be touched if possible." Xia Zhaoyi said.

"That makes sense," Zhao Xun nodded, "Do you recognize this poison?"

"It has a very elegant name, Snow Immortal Weng," Xia Zhaoyi said. "It is extremely poisonous and can also cause hallucinations. It will take at least an hour from poisoning to death, and it will be very painful before death."

Shen Lie frowned slightly and turned to look around.

Zhao Xun paused and looked around, his scalp numb: "We didn't hear any movement just now, except for the last one. And if death will be painful, then it should be..."

Chen Yunqi's back was pressed tightly against the corner, not daring to breathe.

She just wants to attack in the east and attack in the west, surround Wei and rescue Zhao, but she doesn't know what the Snow Immortal is and what poisoning is.

It’s this Ah Li again…

She only knows so much, and she only shows off!

Shen Lie stood up, lifted the small oil ball lamp and looked at the nearby wooden door.

Zhao Xun also got up and took a step closer to Ji Sheng.

Ji Sheng pulled out his long sword and guarded him.

Xia Zhaoyi continued to examine the body.

In addition to the scratches on the face and neck, there were other wounds on the body. There were scratches on the back of the hands, cuts on the lower abdomen, uneven ankles, and mud on the soles of the shoes.

"The wooden doors are all locked," Zhao Xun suddenly said, "Only this one is open. Could it be that when they saw us coming down, they opened the wooden bolt and ran inside?"

Shen Lie followed what he pointed and looked towards the dark room in front of him.

Unlike the first darkroom, there seemed to be other paths inside, because he felt a slight breeze.

"Impossible," Xia Zhaoyi said lightly, "the body has not yet undergone rigor mortis, and this man died not long ago. In other words, he was struggling and screaming through this wooden door not long ago."

"Founding in the east and attacking in the west?" Shen Lie said, "There are so many wooden doors here. If I were a person running away, no matter which one I chose, I would not choose such a miserable one."

Xia Zhaoyi raised her eyes and smiled at Shen Lie. This was not the first time she discovered that Shen Lie always seemed to be the first to know what she wanted to say.

Xia Zhaoyi put down the right leg of the male corpse that was slightly raised, stood up, looked into the dark space, and said crisply: "At this time, he is attacking in the east and west, and he must be helpless. And Chu Zheng is seriously injured, so who wants to protect Chu Zheng outside the dark room

Is that you, Miss Chen?"
