Lin Jiao didn't go far when she was stopped by someone.
"Are you from the prince's camp?"
Because the other party didn't know Lin Jiao's identity and had only seen her entering Pei Yuan's camp, he guessed that he might be a close associate of the prince.
After all, Lin Jiao is still wearing men's clothing.
"yes."
Lin Jiao smiled and nodded, "Are you looking for the prince?"
"I'm not looking for the prince."
The other party smiled and shook his head, grinning, showing his big white teeth, "I saw that the military advisors and others have gone to the prince's camp. As a close confidant of the prince, you are not waiting inside, why are you running out now?"
"Your Majesty, you don't need me to serve you inside."
Lin Jiao responded calmly.
She looked at these people holding ropes and weapons in their hands, as if they were going out?
"What are you going to do?"
Lin Jiao asked curiously.
"Someone from the camp came back and said that they encountered a group of wild boars outside. Let's go take a look. Maybe we can give our brothers another meal tomorrow."
After the other party finished speaking with a smile, he asked Lin Jiao with a smile: "Would you like to follow me and have a look? It's not far outside."
This is the personal guard next to the prince. He is the head of thousands of households. If he can make good friends with him and let him say a few good words for him in front of the prince, he might be able to rise to another level.
"sure."
Lin Jiao guessed what the other party was thinking, but she didn't care.
Who doesn't want to get promoted and make a fortune, as long as his mind is right.
Soon, Lin Jiao followed these twenty or so people out of the military camp.
"Boss, the wild boar I found is at the foot of the mountain over there."
After leaving the military camp, someone shouted loudly.
"Let's go and fuck him. Whoever can find the wild boar's nest today and carry it away, I will give him a pig leg tomorrow and let him eat as much as he wants."
Qianhu Changjiang Tao shouted.
"The boss is wise, listen to the boss."
More than twenty people happily walked to the foot of the mountain not far away.
Lin Jiao followed them, looking at their enthusiasm, she also curled up her lips.
After walking for only half an hour, the group arrived at the foot of the mountain.
"Boss, come here quickly. It's right over here. Look, there are still wild boar footprints here."
The man shouted excitedly.
Lin Jiao followed Jiang Tao and saw messy marks in the snow at a glance. The ones with wild boars were good, but there seemed to be people.
"When did you find the wild boar?" Lin Jiao looked at the marks on the ground and asked the person who just spoke.
"More than two hours ago." The other party thought for a moment and said.
"After you discovered the wild boar, did you come here to catch it?" Lin Jiao then asked.
The traces on the ground, those parts that look like traces of people walking by, seem to have been deliberately messed up. If you don't look carefully, you won't be able to tell at all.
"No, it was a large group of wild boars, there were more than a dozen of them. There were only three of us at the time. We came here to die, so we hurried back to call for help."
"Then when you saw the wild boar, did you notice anyone else around?"
Lin Jiao looked at those marks and frowned. Such a large amount of marks could not be made by one person.
"No."
The other party shook his head.
"What's wrong, brother?" Jiang Tao looked at Lin Jiao in confusion, "Is there something wrong with this place?"
"Brother Jiang, look here."
Lin Jiao pointed to a trace and said seriously, "Do you think this looks like the footprints of people walking by?
Human footprints and wild boar footprints are easy to distinguish, and wild boars cannot make such marks."
"If you look at this side, the traces here are a little blurry, but you can still see that they are similar to the traces over there."
"And here..."
Lin Jiao found several places at once.
"If one such trace is a coincidence, then so many traces are definitely not a coincidence."
"You mean someone has been here?"
Jiang Tao's expression changed a little. He must have some brains if he can manage thousands of households.
Who can hide here and have to erase all traces when leaving? It is definitely not one of our own people, because our own people don't need this.
"Sun Qiang."
Jiang Tao shouted to the crowd, and the next second a short man ran over, "Boss, are you looking for me?"
"You go back now..."
Jiang Tao asked Sun Qiang to go back and call someone, and then said to Lin Jiao.
"Brother, our territory does not allow the bastards from Northern Xinjiang to come and test us. Do you dare to follow me into the mountains to have a look?"
Those people may still be on the mountain now.
There were only about twenty of them, and it was very dangerous to go up the mountain.
But if there is really an enemy ambush on the mountain and they don't know it, the camp will become very dangerous.
"Brother Jiang is not afraid, and I am not afraid either."
Lin Jiao said.
She still has space. If she is really in danger, she can hide in the space.
"As expected of the prince, let's go up the mountain."
Jiang Tao waved his hand and led the people quietly up the mountain.
As Lin Jiao walked, she paid attention to the movements and traces around her.
If there were really people on the mountain, there would be no trace left behind.
There are only bare trees on the mountain and there is snow, so it is not difficult to find traces.
Before reaching the halfway point of the mountain, Lin Jiao found some clues.
"Brother Jiang, look here..."
Lin Jiao called Jiang Tao in a low voice and pointed to a tree not far away.
The snow-soaked trunk of the tree turned dark black, with some red traces on the edges, like blood.
"Blood?"
Jiang Tao's eyes changed.
Lin Jiao led him over and cleaned up the surrounding snow, instantly uncovering a large blood stain.
Jiang Tao held the blood-stained snow, put it to his nose and smelled it.
He said to Lin Jiao with a solemn expression, "It's human blood."
"How do you know?"
Lin Jiao couldn't tell what kind of blood it was, so she looked at Jiang Tao.
"My nose has been sharper than other people's since I was little. The smell of human blood and animal blood is different. I have been involved in many battles, so I can smell it easily."
"If it is really human blood, with such a large amount of bleeding, the person should be dead, and the body may be nearby."
After Lin Jiao finished speaking, she said to Jiang Tao: "Let everyone search and see who he is?"
Maybe they were people from the military camp.
"good."
Jiang Tao nodded and told everyone to search quickly.
Lin Jiao also followed suit.
But she was looking for more traces, hoping to find other clues.
Suddenly, someone shouted.
"Boss, this way!"
Lin Jiao and Jiang Tao heard the sound and immediately ran over there.
Someone dug a man out from a pile of snow.
There was a lot of blood on the other party's body, which was frozen. The cotton coat on his body was made of brocade, and he looked very rich. He could not see his face while lying in the snow.
"The clothes don't look like those in our military camp."
Jiang Tao said.
"Turn him over and look at it."
Lin Jiao said.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Tao immediately turned the person over.
"I'll go."
After turning it over, Jiang Tao was startled because the dead person in his mouth opened his eyes instantly.
