The Retirement of the Demon Lord

Mei Qianxiao drove for dozens of miles, and finally he found small black spots in the distance, those were caravans.

He hurriedly ran in that direction, and the more he walked, the more uncomfortable it seemed. The team seemed to be stuck there, not moving. If it is to rest, it is impossible to find such a place, at least to find a sand dune back that can block the wind. After all, the temperature difference between day and night in the desert is huge. The hot wind that was sandwiched between the scalding yellow sand during the day can turn into a cold wind that rubs against the bones at night.

When he got closer, he finally saw clearly what was happening over there...

Mei Qianxiao walked to the caravan, and there were more than a dozen corpses covered in khaki clothes lying on the ground. This kind of dress is very common in the Western Regions, but a group of people all dress in a standard style, that is, the whale sand gang.

Judging from the degree of burial by the wind and sand, they had been dead for less than two hours. Mei Qianxiao checked around, but didn't see any footprints that left, indicating that the murderer also had a good skill, at least being able to step on the desert without a trace. There is no need to step on the sand without a trace all the way. As long as the murderer has no trace of the sand in the vicinity, it is enough to make it difficult to detect the murderer's direction. do it.

He strolled around in the middle of the line, and the camels carrying the goods were lying on the ground obediently. Except for the death of the people, the camels and goods were not missing at all, and there were no traces of overturning.

This is very strange. The other party is not trying to kill someone to steal the goods, but more like killing someone to silence them!

But... doesn't this leave more important information? What's the use of killing someone and not getting the goods?

Mei Qianxiao turned over the cargo on the camel's body, and as soon as she turned it over, she found a delicate pottery pot with the national seal of the Wusun Kingdom at the bottom. If this thing were not a tribute, his name could be written upside down!

The deaths of these people must be related to the tribute. Could it be that the thieves who robbed and killed the tribute found that their Jinyiwei had tracked down the Jingsha Gang and killed them? But it's more appropriate to take the tribute away. Isn't it as ridiculous to leave the stolen goods here as buying cassocks and returning beads.

I don't understand, Mei Qianxiao was too lazy to think about it, and took these back to Jiang Hao or Dong Shengrui to see and let them check, anyway, the tribute was found.

No! The tribute was found, but the clues were also broken without telling who the client was. There was no way for him to know that it was the Wusun Kingdom who was killed by the gang of bastards!

Mistakes Mistakes!

Mei Qianxiao hurriedly examined the bodies one by one to see if anyone was still breathing.

In the end, he was very disappointed. Almost all the corpses were killed by one blow.

And after pulling off their veils, I saw two old acquaintances. When he and his master were guests at the Whale Sand Gang, the two men, with their beaten bags on their heads, flattered and poured wine and fans to his master, so they were very impressed. Losing this brow and smiling is also endless sigh...

"I didn't expect that we parted eight years ago, but seeing each other today will be separated by heaven and man... All the way, Chou Gang Master, Zhou Deputy Gang Master... If there is a fate for me to find the murderer, I will definitely avenge you, and I will bring your favorite. The snake wine comes to your graves to drink a cup to comfort your spirits in heaven..."

…

"Don't worry, Brother Jiang, I will abide by the rule of never eating non-bred food in the middle of the case!" Ting Feng said very seriously.

Jiang Hao didn't bother to investigate whether she just obeyed this time or permanently.

Jiang Hao also traveled south and north in the Central Plains. Although she has never been to the extreme west, she has seen all kinds of strange foods. For example, all kinds of bugs... I have seen fried spiders, but I have never seen fried spiders that are bigger than a palm, so now Jiang Hao has broadened his horizons when facing these piles of things, but it is nauseating. direction of vision.

"Wait, there seems to be a strange smell..." Liu quietly pushed away Yixue who was blocking her, walked closer, and sniffed the things on the table with her dexterous nose.

"Don't imitate someone like a thousand smiles, you always like this kind of weird stuff!" Yixue hurriedly pulled Liu Quietly away, worried that she was going to drink that wine.

What a handsome man, what kind of aphrodisiac wine to drink! What if I become a wretched guy like Mei Qianxiao! That guy must be the ones who drink too much of these weird things and always think about some nasty things in his head!

"No, I smell like mandala pollen..."

"What's that?" Ting Feng was curious when he heard something strange.

"Menghan medicine is made from mandala flowers, and its purpose is to make people drowsy..."

"So these food and wine have been drugged?" Jiang Hao was shocked, but lowered her voice so that the Jingsha Gang outside the door could not hear.

"No, if you want to use Menghan medicine directly on us, it's fine. You won't use Datura pollen... The effect of pollen is much worse than Menghan medicine, and it has a little floral fragrance, which is easy to be found." Liu whispered quietly. .

"That…"

Ting Feng was about to ask a question, but Liu quietly stopped her. She pointed to the snake in the basket again: "Also, the snake is not dead, it's just asleep."

"Really?" Jiang Hao and the others were frightened again, seeing the big snake lying peacefully in a pile of fragrant condiments, and it didn't look like it was still alive, "How do you know?"

"I have been in a cold place, where the snakes only come out during the day when the weather is warm, and when the temperature drops at night, they will enter a state of dormancy similar to suspended animation, which is somewhat similar to hibernation. The current state of this snake is It's very similar to the dormancy state I've seen. Maybe the snakes in the desert area are different from the snakes in the cold land. On the contrary, it's too hot during the day so they go to sleep... and so on, maybe they wake up when it's cool at night..."

"So is it going to wake up now?"

Hearing Feng's voice just fell, everyone saw that the big snake in the basket opened a pair of blood-red snake eyes and spat out a letter!

"Be careful!"

Jiang Hao's reaction was fast. He had been a Jin Yiwei for so many years, and he had no idea how many close crises he had experienced, and he already had an instinct to react immediately to danger in the face of danger.

I saw him pulling out the embroidery spring knife, UU reading www. uukanshu.com stabbed the snake with a knife!

Jiang Hao's strength was thin and thick, and his embroidery spring knife was inserted into the neck of the snake that he wanted to lift up. Power eruption shatters.

Just when everyone was a little relieved, the mutation started again!

The snake's head was directly chopped off by Jiang Hao's blow, and suddenly shot forward, the indifferent snake's eyes and Ling Lie's poisonous fangs gradually enlarged in front of Tingfeng's eyes!

"Be careful!"

Yixue was always beside Tingfeng. It was so urgent that she didn't even have time to draw the knife. The gust of wind swiftly swung out the Embroidered Spring Sabre and stopped him precisely in front of Tingfeng. The snake head hit the hilt of the Embroidered Spring Knife at once. Only the severed snake head was still conscious. It bit the hilt fiercely, and the strong bite force that could be seen with the naked eye pierced its fangs into the wooden scabbard. , infused with milky white venom…

After a while, Yixue was afraid that this poison was still so violent and ferocious with its head cut off. If it hit Tingfeng, Tingfeng would definitely be more fortunate than good!

Yixue threw it hard and threw out the scabbard with the snake's head attached. Yixue didn't dare to take the scabbard that was bitten by the poisonous snake. Who knows how dangerous the venom is!

Suddenly they heard a "dong" sound, and when they looked up, the door was locked. And the other three baskets of stuff in front of them slowly rustled...

"It turned out that the mandala pollen stunned them... Now they are awake."

Liu Quietly pointed at the baskets with a sudden realization.

Countless spider centipedes and poisonous scorpions crawled out of the baskets, and they discovered that only the upper layer of these baskets was a cooked five-venomous meal, and the inside was full of live spider centipedes and poisonous scorpions! It is only temporarily dizzy with medication, and when they relax, they wake up and wait for an opportunity!
