In the quiet moonlit night, everyone watched Han Nan's body lying in a pool of blood, and no one said a word for a while.
Cutting each other's throats, we vow to live and die together!
Zhao Tuo sighed lightly. He didn't agree with some people's behavior, but it didn't mean that he didn't admire them.
In this world, there are some things whose value is difficult to easily measure.
At this moment, Jing Ke, who had been silent all this time, suddenly looked at Zhao Tuo: "Where will you die successfully?"
Zhao Tuo was stunned and couldn't help but tremble when he saw Jing Ke looking directly at him.
He didn't know what purpose Jing Ke had in asking him this question, but the other party's words were full of affirmation, as if he concluded that Zhao Tuo must know the place where Successfully committed suicide.
If you pretend to be stupid, I don’t know what the consequences will be.
Zhao Tuo hesitated for a moment and said, "Jing Qing, I guess this is the direction. If you go this way, you should be able to find the place where the blood is flowing."
Zhao Tuo's finger points to the southeast.
"How come you know so clearly! Since you didn't kill Le Cheng, how could you possibly know where he died? Could it be that you were also involved!"
Qin Wuyang seemed to have caught a flaw and suddenly asked excitedly, his tone full of aggression.
Jing Ke looked at Zhao Tuo with a half-smile.
Zhao Tuo's scalp was numb. He didn't know how he provoked Qin Wuyang, but at this moment, he was already riding a tiger and could only continue to respond.
"Gentleman, this is just a villain's guess, and it may not be accurate."
Jing Ke said calmly: "It's just a guess, but there's always a reason. Let's talk about it."
"only."
Zhao Tuo calmed down his thoughts and said: "The villain has touched Lejun's body before. His body was cold, which shows that he has been dead for a while. Judging from the blood stains and clothes on his body, there are traces of being washed by rain. , the time of death should be before the rain falls or when it rains."
"I would venture to guess that after Le Jun committed suicide, Han Jun dragged Le Jun's body here in order to continue to lurk and look for opportunities to sabotage the peace talks. At the same time, he stabbed Le Jun's sword into his chest to frame the blame. Villain, get rid of his suspicion."
"There is a lot of dirt on Lejun's back. Its shape is definitely not what can appear when a corpse falls on the ground, but is formed by dragging on the muddy ground. So the place where there are drag marks on the ground is the direction from which he came. Looking for it, This is probably where Lejun committed suicide."
Under the moonlight, in the direction Zhao Tuo pointed, long drag marks and a series of footprints on the muddy ground came into view.
Before Zhao Tuo pointed it out, none of the rangers had noticed the evidence that was so close at hand. In other words, for those rangers with their heads full of fighting and killing, even if they saw it, it would be difficult to think of the key point.
"good."
Jing Ke stroked his palms, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and looked at Zhao Tuo with admiration.
The other rangers all started to admire, especially Heng was extremely excited and kept praising Zhao Tuo loudly.
Qin Wuyang's face became increasingly gloomy.
"Hmph, my experience has almost caught up with me. I see that you are not a lowly royal servant at all. You must be a member of the Zhao Kingdom's clan who is on the run!"
Zhao Tuo smiled and neither refuted nor defended, but said calmly: "What a gentleman says a villain is, that is what a villain is."
Qin Wuyang's malice towards him has been made clear, and there is no point in arguing too much.
"Wuyang, go and see the car in front of you. I'll handle his affairs."
Jing Ke suddenly spoke, his voice was calm but filled with majesty that could not be refuted.
Qin Wuyang squinted his eyes and looked at Jing Ke.
"promise."
He turned and left, giving Zhao Tuo a hard look before leaving.
Although Qin Wuyang left, Zhao Tuo did not dare to relax because Jing Ke was still there.
Prince Dan's guest calmly gave the order, asking the rangers to arrange the bodies of Cheng Cheng and Han Nan, and at the same time comfort everyone in the convoy.
After arranging everything, he turned to look at Zhao Tuo.
"You are from Zhao?"
"yes."
"Last name?"
"The surname is Zhao."
"It's true that he is a member of the Zhao Kingdom's clan."
"The king of the family was the concubine of Lord Pingyang. He died at the hands of the Qin people due to national calamity. Tuo did not want to surrender to Qin, so he had no choice but to live here. Fortunately, he met Jing Qing and was able to survive."
Zhao Tuo answered calmly, except for slight modifications in some places, it was generally truthful.
If Zhao Tuo didn't know the other party's details, he really wouldn't dare to expose them at will. It would be terrible if the other party reported him directly to the Qin people in order to gain Qin's favor.
But Jing Ke was different. The purpose of his trip was clear to Zhao Tuo.
Moreover, the temperaments displayed by people from different classes are really very different.
Zhao Tuo was originally a nobleman for more than ten years, and his consciousness came from thousands of years later. No matter how he hides and changes, he still stands out among a group of humble people.
Even Qin Wuyang could see the difference in him, let alone Jing Ke, who was known for his calmness. If he tried to pretend at this time, he might only arouse the other party's dislike. The consequences were unpredictable, so it would be better to show it openly.
Sure enough, after listening to Zhao Tuo's words, Jing Ke nodded slightly.
"Tomorrow, you will drive for me."
After saying that, Jing Ke turned around and left.
?
Zhao Tuo was a little confused.
He could guess that Jing Ke would not do anything to him, but asking him to drive for him was a joke.
"Tuo!"
Seeing Jing Ke leaving, Heng ran over excitedly, patted Zhao Tuo on the shoulder and said, "I knew you were a Homo sapiens!"
"Oh, I didn't expect that the person who had an affair with Gongzi Jia was actually Han Jun. It's a pity that he failed. But he actually put the blame on you, which is too much. Fortunately, Tuo, you were smart and smart and didn't let him succeed. It's really lucky. !”
Zhao Tuo smiled bitterly, then turned to Heng and solemnly thanked him: "Heng, I wanted to thank you for your help just now, otherwise I would have died before I could open my mouth to defend myself."
When Heng Zai found out that Zhao Tuo was being hunted, he kept picking up rocks and throwing them at Han Nan. His intention was evident.
"I didn't hit him anywhere."
Heng giggled and touched the back of his head.
Zhao Tuo also laughed. The thin black young man in front of him was the first person who showed real concern for him since he came to this era.
The cold night wind blew on my body, which made me feel less cold.
…
Cars rattled, horses rustled, and pedestrians carried bows and arrows at their waists.
The horses are flying, driving the messenger's chariot galloping on the road.
Zhao Tuo held the bridle rope and kept an eye on the status of the two service horses and the two gelding horses.
He steered the horse from time to time, sometimes accelerating, sometimes decelerating, which was very exciting.
"Driving a horse-drawn carriage is much more exciting than driving an iron-clad car in the previous life. This is called real racing."
Zhao Tuo felt the strong wind blowing in his face, the blood in his body was flowing rapidly, and he was very excited.
The car!
Zhen is far away.
It is a carriage that is exposed on all sides and can be seen in all directions when standing on it. It is also a special carriage for messengers of this era.
Because of the material and structure, the carriage is very light, much lighter than a carriage that is enclosed on all sides to load goods.
Once the four horses started running, the speed was extremely fast.
Of course, because the chariot is light, it is best to drive it with two shafts and one horse, which not only saves animal power, but also does not place high demands on the driver. On the contrary, four horses crowded together to pull such a cart would lead to a waste of animal power.
But unfortunately, although the carriage with two shafts and one horse appeared in this era, it was not popularized.
Moreover, in a large number of occasions, double horses and four-horse chariots are more classy, which makes the driving difficulty of four-horse chariots much higher than that of carriages.
So when the driver who was originally driving the chariot saw that Zhao Tuo was coming to replace him, in addition to jealousy, there was disdain and ridicule on his face.
"Nai Gong has driven more cars than you have seen horses."
"How can a little boy with no fur even grow up drive a car?"
"Jing Qing must have made a mistake!"
