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

Down the mountain is a sparsely populated road.

He was about to take a break when he saw a woodcutter walking towards him with a load of firewood in front of him.

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

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

And the woodcutter was walking and looking around.

When Li Qingyan saw this, his heart sank, there is probably something wrong with this woodcutter!

When he was attacked on the way to Fengyang County, he fell into the river below the cliff with his horse and carriage.

It seemed that he was probably dead, but the group of killers were obviously veterans, and they would not give up easily without seeing the corpse with their own eyes.

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

Li Qingyan gave up the idea of ​​asking for directions, turned around without hesitation and ran in the other direction.

The woodcutter heard the footsteps and saw the back of Li Qingyan leaving, and immediately threw the burden on his shoulders to the side, pulled out a sharp knife, and chased after Li Qingyan.

Li Qingyan tried his best to run, but he was only a weak scholar, and he was almost exhausted after rushing the mountain road all night.

He was soon overtaken by the woodcutter.

The woodcutter's eyes were full of fierce light, and he swung the knife to the back of his neck!

In the nick of time.

An arrow shot from the front suddenly, and hit the right arm of the woodcutter just right.

His right arm was shot through, and he screamed in pain, his fingers involuntarily loosened, and the knife fell to the ground.

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

A group of people came galloping on horses in front,

They were all dressed in military uniforms, and the leader of them was Xiao Lingfeng.

He still had a bow and arrow in his hand, and the arrow was shot from his hand just now.

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

"General Xiao, I'm here!"

Xiao Lingfeng asked the people behind him to arrest the woodcutter, but he got on his horse and strode to Li Qingyan.

On weekdays, the handsome and handsome Zhuangyuan Lang was embarrassed at this time.

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

After escaping from death, Li Qingyan's last strength was also taken away.

He couldn't stand any longer, and fell to the ground staggeringly, gasping for breath, uttering three words with difficulty.

"Stay alive."

The woodcutter's right hand was injured, and he knew that he was no match for this group of officials.

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

He staggered and fell to the ground.

The officials rushed to restrain him.

He knew that he couldn't escape this time, so he could only hold his heart and wanted to kill himself by biting the poison sac between his teeth.

However, the officers took a step forward and removed his chin.

Immediately, the poison sac in his mouth was brutally pulled out.

The group quickly left the place and found the inn in Raohe County.

Li Qingyan was so tired that he fell asleep immediately after arriving at the inn.

But he didn't 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 results of the interrogation.

The woodcutter who assassinated Li Qingyan before was indeed a killer pretending to be a killer. The killer had already been determined to die, and Xiao Lingfeng tried his best, but failed to ask a single useful word from his mouth.

Li Qingyan bit down a large piece of chicken thigh and said while eating.

"It's fine if you can't ask, you just need to keep an eye on him and don't let him die."

Such killers are specially trained, and it is difficult to ask useful information, so Li Qingyan is not surprised by this result.

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

Li Qingyan: "Let people spread the news that we caught the killer, and say that we have grasped key clues, and this case will soon be resolved."

Xiao Lingfeng narrowed his eyes slightly: "Are you planning to throw bricks at you?"

Li Qingyan drank a big mouthful of soup, and put the empty bowl upside down on the table, just to cover the chicken bones tightly.

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

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

"good idea."

Soon, the news about Li Qingyan's escape from death spread in Raohe County.

There are people talking about this in the teahouses and pubs in the county.

"I didn't expect this Shi Lang's life to be so hard. He fell from such a high place, and he even smashed his car into the river, and he still didn't die. It's a miracle!"

"As expected of the champion, this luck is absolutely incredible!"

"I heard that after Zhuang Yuanlang escaped, he also caught a killer, and that killer was one of the people who attacked Zhuangyuanlang in the first place."

"Didn't it say that Shilang Li was attacked by bandits? Why did another killer appear?"

"You don't know, those mountain bandits are all pretending to be killers, in order to kill Shi Lang Li, I don't know who Li Shi Lang offended and caused such a murder."

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

"Of course, it is said that the killer has already confessed. As long as Zhuang Yuan Lang presents the case to the emperor, those who murdered Zhuang Yuan Lang will be finished collectively!"

...

In the crowd stood a square-faced man, wearing the most common rough cloth bunt, with a patched shawl hanging on his shoulders.

He wentssips about the audience with a deadpan expression.

After everyone had finished talking, the square-faced man quietly withdrew from the crowd.

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

There are more than 20 people gathered in the broken temple, all of them are ordinary people, but everyone has a strong evil spirit, which is the breath of people who have seen blood.

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

They counted all the people and determined that there was indeed a missing companion.

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

Presumably he was caught by Li Qingyan.

The boss didn't think that the people under his hands would betray him, but he knew in his heart that it was useless to believe in this kind of thing, and it mainly depended on the attitude of the master.

If the master knew that they not only failed to complete the task, but also left the opponent alive, they would definitely be furious, and all of them would suffer.

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

If they can't be rescued, they will kill people directly, and they must not leave a living hole for the enemy.

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