72, You Liang

The sun was rising, the morning glow filled the sky, and the camp that had been silent all night began to boil.

The entrance to the Jingshan mining area camp.

You Liang remembered what someone said when he came, and looked at the confused Gu An and the sullen Yan Jiu with interest, but did not say anything to stop them.

"I noticed your mouth before at Xia's house. It's a bit powerful." Yan Gu's face was gloomy, his brows furrowed slightly, and after a moment he relaxed: "Okay, I want to see when you can get to Ningdan."

"It's getting late, You Xiaoqi, let's go."

"No problem." You Liang smiled.

Seeing that the agreement was reached, Cheng Ji and another supervisor came forward. After saluting You Liang and Yan Gu, they led Gu An and others to the camp.

A moment later, inside the camp.

Everyone saw the ceremony one by one and began to discuss the matter.

"Is there any news from the county?"

You Liang originally thought that the murderer this time was a troublesome demon or something weird, but from what Ran Liang and Zhou Qiang said just now, it seemed that the forces of Jiangzhou and Xiangzhou were also involved.

The important thing is that both the walking corpse and the demonized Kuang Tianfei attacked Gu An...

"The news did come from the county seat."

Seeing everyone watching, Ran Liang said slowly: "What the county means is that it has been reported to the Youzhou Qianhu Office, but at the same time, we are asked to launch an investigation immediately and don't place our hopes on that side.

If necessary, the county will send people down."

Hearing this, everyone in the tent fell into silence.

The county's idea is very simple. Wait for the news to reach Youzhou Qianhu Office, then contact Jiangzhou Xiangzhou, wait for them to investigate and send the news back, and the day lily will be cold.

It's all up to you.

As for asking the Qianhu Office or the Wu Mansion to send people down, they will not do so unless it is absolutely necessary, otherwise it will prove that they are incompetent...

Zhou Qiang and Ran Liang looked at each other, stood up, took a deep breath, and bowed with fists in their hands: "In order to bring the mining area back to normal as soon as possible and not affect the normal supply of iron in our four counties, I would like to trouble you all."

"You two stewards don't have to do this. As the two stewards said, this is also to avoid affecting the iron attack in our four counties.

So before I came, Palace Master Zhang told me to fully cooperate with the two stewards."

Yan Gu slightly cupped his hands and said calmly.

The Xiaoqi of the Suppression Division and the instructors of the Wufu in other counties also responded.

"Okay! With your words, I feel relieved; in this case, we will act according to the plan we just made!"

Zhou Qiang said enthusiastically.



A quarter of an hour later.

You Liang took Gu An Qian Yue and walked along the Wufu Mining Area.

Originally, Ran Liang and Zhou Qiang were unwilling to believe that the murderer was among the miners, but the demonized Kuang Tianfei appeared, and Gu An and others searched the surrounding forests and found nothing.

Ran Liang and Zhou Qiang had to return their focus to the miners.

Listening to the constant tinkling sound, You Liang observed the shackles at the miners' feet and asked, "Gu An, when you fought with Kuang Tianfei, did you notice that he was using his inner energy?"

Gu An pondered for a moment: "During the fight, except for the first time when I didn't check and was attacked by him, he was always suppressed by me and didn't notice it.

However, I think since he was able to sneak into the tent without anyone noticing, he must have used the technique of holding his breath."

"That means there is inner Qi flowing?"

"good."

When You Liang heard this, he stopped and looked at the mine not far away, wondering what he was thinking about.

Gu An and Qian Yue stood behind him without urging him.

After a long time, You Liang turned to look at Gu An, and then seemed to have made some important decision: "Okay, let's check our area as soon as possible and see if we can find anything."

An hour later, inside the camp.

Xiao Qi, the evil commander of each county, and the instructor of Wu Mansion, as well as Ran Liang and Zhou Qiang above, all looked not very good.

After some investigation just now, no clues were found.

The shackles at the feet of all miners have been in use for a long time.

This means that the clue is cut off.

After a long silence, You Liang broke the silence: "Could it be that the murderer thought he had underestimated our strength after discovering that the two attacks on Gu An failed.

In addition, he knew that we would arrive soon, so he left here before he could."

Seeing everyone looking at him in surprise, You Liang added again: "After all, according to what we know so far, the first time he launched an attack was on the first day Gu An and the others arrived.

This is a temptation.

The second time, just before the colleagues arrived here, maybe he also meant to test it one last time.

If he can't even kill the apparently weakest person, Gu An, who is only at the ninth level of body tempering, then it will be even less possible for him to deal with me and others."

After hearing this, everyone in the tent began to think in their minds.

If it is true as You Liang said, it is possible that in one day, given the murderer's strength, he might have escaped far away.

But if this is the case, Zhou Qiang and Ran Liang may inevitably be punished by their superiors.

Zhou Qiang took a deep breath: "What You Xiaoqi said makes some sense, but if he had just escaped from here, he would definitely have left some traces.

Why don't we all search the area nearby?"

So, everyone, led by their own banners and mentors, started searching in the nearby forest.

In the end, no clues were found until the sunset.

Ran Liang and Zhou Qiang discussed that if there were still no clues tomorrow, they would let the miners resume working at night to try.

If nothing goes wrong within three days, it will be considered that the murderer has really escaped, and the two of them will take the initiative to plead guilty to the superiors.



The moon and stars are sparse.

Because Xiaoqi and mentors from various counties would often come here to bring back the iron ore, there were eight special camps for them at the foot of the mountain.

Inside the Wufu camp in Ping'an County.

Yan Gu, who was supposed to be asleep, had been sitting on the bed with his eyes closed and meditating.

Until the midnight watch sounded, and the tightly closed eyes suddenly opened.

I walked outside the tent and looked around for a while, then returned to the tent and closed the doors and windows tightly.

He walked to the bed, lifted up the quilt, groped around on the bed board and lifted it up, revealing the floor covered with wooden boards.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"..."

His right hand tapped on it rhythmically.

About five breaths of time passed.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

There is a response inside.

Soon, with a squeak, the wooden board opened.

Revealing an arm covered with long hair and with extended nails.

After lifting the wooden board, he retracted his arms.

Yan Jiu let out a breath and jumped down.

Follow the mechanical figure in front of you, pass through a long corridor, and come to a red wooden door.

The mechanical figure opened the wooden door, signaling Yan to enter.

After entering the room, Yan Jiu didn't have time to look at the design inside.

"Bang!"

The wooden door is closed.

Yan Gu's eyes suddenly shrank.

The sound of chains being dragged could be heard in the black shadow.

"Wow!"

"Wow!"

"..."
