Lu Xiaofeng rubbed the corners of his sore eyes, then called out to the people in the caravan who were still intact, and angrily walked towards the Sha Pirates who had fallen all over the ground.
To his surprise, he thought that the rusty sword was so cruel that none of the sand pirates should be alive. However, after Lu Xiaofeng checked their bodies, he discovered that these sand pirates were not dead, they were all just stunned by the arc light. After passing by, of course, each of them had a narrow, long and deep sword mark split by the arc on their chest and abdomen. If they didn't deal with it, they might really bleed to death.
After carefully checking everyone's condition, Lu Xiaofeng sealed the eight meridians of the Sand Bandits, tied them up tightly, and then ordered people to give them medicine. Then he got into the place where Huamanlou was. Go to the tent and tell him what happened after checking it out.
"Huamanlou, there is something wrong with these people, they are by no means simple sand thieves."
Hua Manlou was carefully wiping the rusty sword. When he heard Lu Xiaofeng's words, he raised his head, but the movements of his hands did not stop. He asked:
"what have you found?"
"Did you notice during the melee before that they were very decisive and ruthless in their attacks, and their knives were aimed at fatal places? Moreover, they would also line up. Everyone's goals were very clear, and their cooperation was very tacit. One of the people who fought against me One person even knows military grappling skills..."
Lu Xiaofeng moved a small stool and sat next to Huamanlou. As he spoke, he poked the rusty sword with his finger. He didn't know whether he was just for fun or if he wanted to poke Chu Qi out again.
"You mean, are there people from the army among them?"
"Not only that, I also found a tattoo of a falcon behind each of their left ears."
Hua Manlou nodded clearly and said: "It seems that they are a group of dead soldiers. Lu Xiaofeng, did you put cloth towels in their mouths? If they are really dead soldiers, they will most likely die on the first day after waking up. For a while, I tried to think of ways to commit suicide, either biting my tongue or taking poison."
"Well, don't worry, we have to find some clues no matter what, otherwise we both won't be beaten in vain tonight."
Lu Xiaofeng grinned, then stood up again, touched his chin with one hand and began to think. After wandering around the tent for two or three times, he suddenly understood something and said: "I always feel that these people pretending to be sand pirates The dead man was looking for money on the surface, but actually he was here to take my life."
"So, the news that the clue to the Golden Eye Orb is in your hands has probably been leaked. Do you think it was Princess Jinling and others who said it?"
"Not really. Although they came out of seclusion one step ahead of us, according to what Princess Jin Ling said, doing so would not be good for her."
"Not necessarily. Leaking this news can focus the attention of the entire Mobei on you. Wouldn't this be more conducive to Princess Jinling secretly winning people's hearts?"
Hearing this, Lu Xiaofeng raised her eyebrows and said:
"I remembered it when you said that... At that time, those dead soldiers seemed to know my identity, and they were sure that I was Lu Xiaofeng, and they wanted to take my head when they came up! It seems that they really knew what I looked like …”
"But I always feel that there is something more to this matter. If Princess Jin Ling is really such a scheming person, there is no need to come all the way to the Central Plains to deceive me. If she just needs an eye-catching target, she only needs to spread the news that the Golden Eye Orb is in As long as Zhu Ting is in his hands, Zhu Ting's disappearance will only make people think that he is absconding in fear of crime, which will make him more eye-catching."
"No matter what, we have to be extra careful on this journey."
"Forget it, let's take it one step at a time."
Lu Xiaofeng scratched his hair and lay down on the lambskin blanket. He rolled around on it and suddenly felt something hit him. He reached out and fumbled for a small porcelain bottle from his lower back. Lu Xiaofeng sat up suddenly. He opened the bottle and put it to his nose and sniffed it. It smelled of good golden sore medicine.
"Hua Man Lou, when did you prepare the golden sore medicine? Wow, it's very effective!"
As he spoke, he poured the medicine on his wound, using his good brother's stuff without feeling any pain at all.
Hua Manlou was a little confused. He reached out and took the wound medicine in Lu Xiaofeng's hand, smelled it, and then said: "Tianqi, borneol, stasis dispersing grass, white ox bile... and... I can't smell it anymore, this It’s not the golden sore medicine prepared by my family.”
"Huh? Then this is-"
Lu Xiaofeng's eyes suddenly moved to the rusty sword lying quietly on Huamanlou's knees. It was motionless, as if it was just an ordinary broken sword.
After a long time, he suddenly heard Hua Manlou lower his head and say softly to the rusty sword: "Thank you."
After his words fell, the rusty sword flashed twice, as if in response.
Lu Xiaofeng blinked and reached out to touch his still green eyes.
It seems like it doesn't hurt that much anymore.
