Chapter 870

  When the sun gradually rose, Li Qingyan finally reached the foot of the mountain.

  Below the mountain is a lonely path.

  He was about to take a break when he saw a woodman in front carrying a load of firewood coming here.

   Li lightly said that he was overjoyed, and he was about to go forward to ask for directions, when he found that the woodcutter's pace was very steady.

   Carrying such a heavy firewood on his back, and walking so steadily on the mountain road, he must have been specially trained.

  And the woodman was looking around as he walked.

   Li said lightly when he saw this, and his heart sank, this woodman might have a problem!

  At first, he was attacked on the way to Fengyang County, and he plunged into the river below the cliff with a man and a carriage.

  It seems that he is probably dead, but the group of assassins are obviously veterans. They didn't see the corpse with their own eyes and would not give up easily.

  In order to prevent him from escaping, the group of assassins are likely to send people around to search for his whereabouts.

   Li lightly dismissed the idea of ​​asking for directions, turned around and ran in the other direction without hesitation.

  The woodman heard the footsteps and saw Li Qingyan's back. He immediately threw the burden on his shoulders to the side, drew out a sharp knife, and hurriedly pursued Li Qingyan.

   Li Qingyan tried his best to run, but he was just a weak scholar, and coupled with the all-night mountain road, his energy was almost exhausted.

  He was quickly overtaken by the knocker.

  The fierce light in the woodsman’s eyes was full, and he swiped the knife at the back of his neck!

  At the very moment.

  An arrow shot from the front, unbiased, and hit the lumberjack's right arm.

  His right arm was shot through, so painful that he screamed, his fingers involuntarily released, and the knife fell to the ground.

  Li Qingyan took the opportunity to use the last bit of strength and ran forward.

  A group of people galloping on horseback,

  They are all in uniforms, and the head of them is Xiao Lingfeng.

  He still has a bow and arrow in his hand, the arrow just shot out of his hand.

  As soon as he saw Xiao Lingfeng, Li lightly shouted as if he had seen a savior.

   "General Xiao, I am here!"

  Xiao Lingfeng asked someone behind to arrest the woodman, but he turned on his horse and strode to Li Qingyan.

  The handsome and handsome champion champion on weekdays is embarrassingly embarrassed at this time.

  Xiao Lingfeng asked: "Li Shilang, are you okay?"

  To escape from the dead, Li said lightly that the last trace of strength in his body was also taken away.

  He couldn't stand anymore, and fell on the ground shaking, gasping for breath, and uttering three words with difficulty.

   "Keep alive."

  The woodman injured his right hand, knowing he was not the opponent of this group of officials.

  He had to run without even thinking about it, but he didn’t run too far, and he was shot another arrow in his right leg.

  He staggered and fell to the ground.

  The officials rushed to stop him.

  He knew that he couldn't escape this time, so he could only put his heart to death, trying to bite the poison sac between his teeth and kill himself.

  However, the officials removed his chin one step before.

   Then the poison sac in his mouth was roughly pulled out.

  A group of people quickly left here and found a post in Raohe County.

  Li lightly said that he was very tired, and immediately fell asleep when he arrived at the inn.

  But he did not dare to sleep too deeply, and woke up after an hour.

  Xiao Lingfeng came to him for dinner, and by the way told him the result of the interrogation.

  The woodcutter who assassinated Li Qingyan before was indeed a killer pretending to be a killer. The killer had already saved his will. Xiao Lingfeng exhausted his means and couldn't ask a useful word from his mouth.

  Li lightly bit out a large piece of chicken thigh and said as he ate it.

   "Forget it if you can't ask, just watch him closely and don't let him die."

  Skillers like this are all specially trained, it is difficult to ask useful information, so Li said that he was not surprised by this result.

  Xiao Lingfeng looked at him: "You seem to have a solution."

   Li said lightly: "If someone spreads the news that we caught the killer, it means that we have the key clues, and this case will soon come to light."

  Xiao Lingfeng narrowed his eyes slightly: "Are you planning to make a fortune?"

  Li Yan lightly drank a big mouthful of soup, and dumped the empty bowl on the table, just covering the chicken bones tightly.

   "I think it's more like asking you to enter the urn."

  Xiao Lingfeng couldn't help laughing as he looked at the upside-down bowl on the table.

"good idea."

   Soon, news about Li Qingyan’s escape from the dead spread within Raohe County.

  There are people talking about it everywhere in the teahouse and wine shop in the county seat.

   "Unexpectedly, the life of the Li Shilang was so hard, he fell from such a high place, and even the man and the car smashed into the river, he did not die, it was a miracle!"

   "You deserve to be the champion, this luck is truly incredible!"

   "It was heard that after the champion man escaped from the dead, he also caught a killer. The killer was one of the people who attacked the champion man in the first place."

  "Didn’t it mean that Shi Lang Li was attacked by mountain bandits? Why did another killer pop up?"

  "You don’t know this, those bandits are all pretending to be killers, in order to kill Li Shilang. I don’t know who Li Shilang has offended and caused such a murder."

   "Since the killer has been caught, will this case be revealed soon?"

   "That's natural. It is said that the assassin has already confessed. As long as the number one scholar has submitted this case to the emperor, those who murdered the number one will be killed collectively!"

  ……

  A man with a square face stood among the crowd. He was wearing the most common coarse cloth and short, with a patched coat hanging on his shoulder.

  He listened to the crowd's gossip blankly.

  When everyone was almost done, the square-faced man quietly withdrew from the crowd.

  He left the county seat and came to a ruined temple.

  There have been more than twenty people gathered in the broken temple. It seems that they are just ordinary people in their clothes, but everyone has a strong suffocation, which is the aura of people who have seen blood.

  As soon as the square-faced man came in, he immediately relayed the rumors he had heard to the boss.

  They counted all the number of people and confirmed that there was indeed a missing companion.

  The companion was originally sent to search for Li Qingyan's whereabouts, but it has been a day and night, and he is still missing.

  Presumably he was caught by Li Qingyan.

  The boss doesn't think that the people under his hands will betray him, but he knows in his heart that this kind of thing is useless by himself, and it mainly depends on the attitude of the master.

  If the master knows that they not only failed to complete the task, but also left their opponents alive, they will inevitably be furious, and everyone in the room will suffer.

  The boss hesitated again and again, but decided to take the risk to save people.

  If it really can’t be saved, just kill the person directly and never leave the enemy alive.

  The square-faced man reminded: "I think this is likely to cause a trap set by the other party. Let's go, what if we get caught in the enemy's trap?"
