Return of the Swallow

Chapter 292 Deep Mountains (2)

Qin Yining analyzed several points from the conversation with the murderer yesterday.

First, from the accents of these people, it can be judged that they are from the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

Second, they were ordered by a "Hou Ye" to intercept and kill the Qin.

Third, these people stayed at Soushan, and if they didn't kill the Qin, they were afraid that they would not be able to make business.

Fourth, the martial arts of these people fought against the tiger army who escorted the surrender.

So here comes the problem.Which army is these men who are well-organized and whose martial arts are not inferior to the Hu Ben Army?

Who is this "Master Hou" who ordered the Qin family to be intercepted?

Who else in the Great Zhou Dynasty was able to lead two or three hundred skilled soldiers out to intercept and kill them?

Qin Yining would not doubt that these people were sent by Emperor Zhou.

The Emperor Zhou wanted the descendants of the Yan Dynasty to help him balance the two forces of the court.If you don't want to surrender a minister, you may not persuade you to surrender at first, and there is no need to send someone halfway to kill.

Therefore, this interception must be a high-powered "Master Hou" who held the military power and deceived what the Emperor Zhou did.

Qin Yining already had an answer in his mind.

Is it really the Dingbei Houhou who worshipped Pang Xiao and Emperor Zhou?

But shouldn't Dingbeihou bring the Dragon Xiangjun to be stationed at the border between Dazhou and Tatar?How can people appear here at this time?

If the assassin only targeted the Qin family, why did the fake bandits kill so many innocent people at the front of the team?

If it wasn't for the Qin family, she would have heard the conversation between the two assassins.

Ten thousand thoughts can't be straightened out all at once, but Qin Yining can be sure now that she has to hide well these days and must not go down the mountain immediately.

Those assassins were ordered to come, and if they didn't take one and turn their heads back, they wouldn't be able to deal with each other, they would definitely appear again.

She has only one person, and can't beat them, so she can only hide.

Fortunately, she has experience in forest survival.Although it is the season when no grass grows in winter, Qin Yining is confident that he can stick to it.

However, Qin Yining felt refreshed again when he thought that Lian Shengjie must be thumping his chest now.

Lian Shengjie was ordered to accept Jiang Shushunbiao. Since he brought the king of Yanjun and Dayan's surrender to Beijing, he would naturally take protective measures.

Now that such a tragedy happened on Lu, if Zhou Di knew that Long Yan was furious, the most important thing was that Lian Shengjie's old face would not have a place.

Lian Shengjie and Pang Xiao have always been at odds. This time he first acted as an emissary and used her to lead Pang Xiao. After the plan failed, he blatantly took away Pang Xiao's chance to enjoy the honor.

Now that the Hu Ben Army still left him with a hundred people, he was able to rob a group of mountain bandits halfway, and also killed and injured so many vassals and family members.

This time Lian Shengjie had ten mouths, and he couldn't explain it clearly in front of Emperor Zhou.

Since the "Hou Ye"'s subordinate came pretending to be a bandit, he must have prevented Emperor Zhou from catching his pigtails.

Lian Shengjie's escort was unfavorable, and the scandal of "mountain bandits" that was killed by mobs of mobs would definitely not be able to cover it.

Thinking of this, Qin Yining was equivalent to seeing the situation before him, and his depressed heart could finally diverge.

Having made up her mind, she immediately went out looking for food.

Without tools, she looked for suitable branches to replace, and found a lot of hay woven straw ropes to make traps to catch some small animals.

It's just that I don't have tools, and I want to catch prey in the snowy mountains in winter. It's really not an easy task.

Qin Yining spent a whole day looking for food.

In winter, there are no wild vegetables and wild fruits to attack. If you want to catch a bird, you have no seeds and no bait. If you want to rely on her simple little trap to catch some small animals, it is difficult to reach the sky.

She endured hunger and looked very carefully in the woods. Instead of catching any prey, she found four dead bodies.

The four people have turned into bones, and the clothes of their bodies can vaguely tell that the three of them are wearing military uniforms of Da Zhou, and the other is wearing ordinary people's clothing, their fallen position and posture, and their broken arms. With the head, Qin Yining can be sure that this should be a story in which one enemy and three ends together.

The troubled times have been for many years, and there will be such tragedies everywhere. I can't imagine that I can see such a scene in the remote mountains.

Qin Yining sighed.

Fortunately, there are weapons available next to the corpses of these people!

Qin Yining picked up a machete, a short sword, two daggers, a bundle of ropes, an empty water sac, and a purse containing a few pills of unknown medicine.

Qin Yining picked up all the useful things before continuing to search for food.

Fortunately, Qin Yining found the source of the water not long afterwards and found a small stream that hadn't frozen. He finally caught a hibernating frog in the evening and returned to his "lid" to roast and eat.

No wonder, people in the world will fight for power and money unscrupulously.

Only with these two things can people live comfortably.

However, although this kind of day is uncomfortable, Qin Yining is also happy.Smelling the rich smell of meat when roasting frogs, Qin Yining thought optimistically: I was lucky today, maybe I can catch a hare tomorrow.I'm not afraid of starving to death by then.

Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly heard a "creak" on the snow.

Qin Yining almost threw the frog bluff, and hurriedly picked up a picked short sword and held it in his hand, watching the direction of the sound with caution.

At this moment, a gust of wind blew, the bush shook, and a shaggy thing about three feet high ran away.

What animal is it?

Qin Yining concentrated, stared in that direction for a while, and found that there were no beasts, and he was relieved.

Qin Yining thought again: Fortunately, she did not encounter a wolf, otherwise it would be even more dangerous.

After eating a test frog with little meat and taste like this, Qin Yining felt warmer.

She began to lay dry straw into her den.

At this moment, she seemed to hear a slight rustle again, and she saw a figure rushing past the corner of her eye.

Qin Yining became solemn this time.

What kind of animal is this?Why is the speed so fast, it turns out to be like a leopard with vigorous skills!

Qin Yining kept quiet, holding all the weapons he picked up, and quickly picked up a torch that was prepared on the fire.If there are small animals, they should be afraid of fire.

After standing in a stalemate for a long time, the little animal did not appear again.

Qin Yining breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the little thing ran away.

She went on to pave her nest with hay.

At this moment, Qin Yining suddenly felt something behind him.

Turning his head suddenly, he saw a figure approaching.

It was a child who was about seven or eight years old, dressed in thick animal skins, with a dirty face and messy hair.At this time he was placing a hare whose fur was scorched by the flames next to her fire.

Xu did not expect that she would suddenly turn her head back, the child was taken aback and his eyes went wide.

Qin Yining said in astonishment: "Hey, you..."

Unexpectedly, the child turned around and ran away, as fast as a gust of wind.

Qin Yining suddenly realized that the "little animal" she saw just now was this child!
