Build the Traveler Alliance from Scratch

Chapter 39
The surprise on Jin Yichuan's face was not feigned.

He really wanted to know how the second brother came to the conclusion that Wei Zhongxian directed and acted himself.

Shen Lian sighed, "It's very simple. If a person wants to disappear in this world, the best way is to fake death."

Jin Yichuan asked suspiciously: "Fake death? But there is no Wei Zhongxian's body here, and there is nothing to prove his identity. No one would believe him if he died like this?"

This is indeed the truth...

Shen Lian pondered for a while, then suddenly turned his gaze to the ruts on the ground.

Lu Jianxing followed his gaze to the ground, and suddenly understood what he meant.

If Wei Zhongxian really directed and acted the robbery himself, then his fake death scene is probably not here, but he fled for a certain distance according to normal logic, and then was chased and killed.

That's how others perceive him.

After all, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and it is absolutely impossible for a person like Wei Zhongxian to be killed without any resistance.

Lu Jianxing gritted his teeth and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to catch up and take a look?"

Jin Yichuan's heart tightened, and he quickly stopped him: "But what if the second brother guesses wrong?"

"In case, I mean in case, there is such a group of powerful people who robbed and killed Wei Zhongxian's convoy here, with the few of us, what can we do if we catch up? Besides, even if the second brother's deduction is correct, Wei Zhongxian is really In order to get out of danger, he directed and staged this robbery, so he will definitely clean up his hands, even if we catch up, I'm afraid we won't be able to find them..."

"..."

Lu Jianxing frowned, his heart was at war with heaven and man, but in the end he had to nod to admit that Jin Yichuan was right.

But then, Lu Jianxing changed the subject: "Even so, I still think we should catch up."

Jin Yichuan frowned and asked in confusion, "Why?"

Lu Jianxing lowered his voice and said, "I know it's dangerous, but at the same time, this is also our opportunity—third brother, don't blame elder brother for speaking badly, haven't you had enough of this useless life?"

"We have no money and no way out. We want to be promoted because of this opportunity. Now this opportunity is in front of us. No matter what the real situation is, as long as we catch it, we can turn around!"

Jin Yichuan and Shen Lian looked at each other, they both frowned and remained silent.

Lu Jianxing understood that his two brothers had already been persuaded, so he quickly struck while the iron was hot.

"If there is such a group of strong men, let's confirm Wei Zhongxian's situation quietly, and then report back to Beijing, but if Wei Zhongxian directed and staged the robbery by himself, we will continue to chase until Wei Zhongxian is killed. Anyway, now Wei Zhongxian's whereabouts are unknown, I'm afraid he will die if he goes back like this, why don't you fight, what do you think?"

"..."

Shen Lian looked at Lu Jianxing's expression, then at Jin Yichuan's expression, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Okay, I'm going to call someone now."

After finishing speaking, Shen Lian was about to stand up, but was pulled back by Lu Jianxing.

"Don't!" Lu Jianxing hurriedly stopped him, then he glanced at Jin Yiwei in the convoy, and said in a low voice: "This job fell on our brothers, many people in the yamen are jealous, and the Baihu adults are not happy, so we can't protect us." There is no stake in them among the people, if we intentionally ruin our business..."

Shen Lian frowned and said, "You're not afraid of being robbed of your achievements, are you? Don't be confused about this kind of thing!"

At this time, Jin Yichuan suddenly said: "I think it's okay, second brother, if it's as you expected, then there must not be too many people around Wei Zhongxian, and the three of us are enough to deal with it. Similarly, if second brother you If we guess wrong, then we will quietly lurk aside to observe the situation as the elder brother said, and we don’t have to do anything, so that if there are too many people, it will be easy to be exposed.”

Lu Jianxing immediately agreed: "Yichuan is right! I think so too!"

Shen Lian took a deep look at Jin Yichuan, and after contemplating, finally nodded.

Jin Yichuan was relieved when he saw this, but his heart was still a little beating.

It was Zhao Lihe and Lin Zhongtian's temporary discussion to rob and kill Wei Zhongxian on the official road outside the city in broad daylight, and he didn't communicate with him, so he didn't know what the result would be if he waited for others to catch up.
But if he didn't catch up and just returned to Beijing like this, I'm afraid his two sworn brothers wouldn't have any good fruit to eat.

It's better for the three brothers to catch up together. For Jin Yichuan's face, even if he really meets Lin Zhongtian and others, it shouldn't really hurt the lives of his two sworn brothers.

"Let's catch up and have a look, if you really meet Brother Zhao, then adapt to the situation..."

Thinking so in his heart, Jin Yichuan followed Lu Jianxing and Shen Lian out at the same time.

Lu Jianxing called all the Jin Yiwei under his command and ordered them to guard the scene here. Then he found three horses and chased them along with his two brothers along the rut.

Along the way, the surrounding situation can be said to be full of corpses and rivers of blood.

The way of death of each deceased is similar to that of the corpses in the convoy.

The more they watched, the more frightened Lu Jianxing and Shen Lian became.

Based on their years of experience in handling cases, the corpses in front of them were probably done by one person.

Jin Yichuan knew better than they knew that these people should have been killed by Brother Zhao's sworn brother, Fu Qingyun.

It's just that I didn't expect that this guy not only has outstanding swordsmanship, but also has reached the pinnacle of marksmanship.

When it came to killing people, he was not much weaker than those legendary warriors on the battlefield.

After chasing to the place where the carriage overturned, Lu Jianxing and Shen Lian had to admit that the person who made the move was indeed not something the three brothers could deal with.

Shen Lian got off the horse, carefully inspected the traces around the carriage, and simulated what happened not long ago in his mind, finally looked at the blood stains on the curtains of the carriage, and sighed faintly.

"I take back what I just said. It seems that a group of strong men did rush to kill Wei Zhongxian before us."

"What about the corpse?"

"Perhaps they took him away. Since this group of people dared to rob and kill Wei Zhongxian in broad daylight, they presumably either had a blood feud with Wei Zhongxian and the eunuchs, or they wanted to use Wei Zhongxian to plan something. No matter what kind, it must be He won't let him die so easily, let alone leave his body here."

Lu Jianxing frowned and said: "Then what should we brothers do, without Wei Zhongxian's body, it will be difficult for you and me to go back!"

Shen Lian sighed: "I can only report the matter to the Shangguan in detail, I hope they can deal with it lightly."

Lu Jianxing slammed his fist on the carriage and cursed angrily: "Fuck! Why are we brothers so unlucky, such a good job fell on us, and it turned out to be so difficult? Could it be that the god of the thief pointed Are you being bullied by honest people?!"

Shen Lian silently listened to his complaints, and suddenly said: "Brother, third brother, I have an idea."

Lu Jianxing paused, then turned his head and said, "What idea?"

Shen Lian asked in a low voice: "Anyway, Wei Zhongxian was kidnapped by those strong men, so he probably won't survive?"

Lu Jianxing frowned and said, "So what?"

Shen Lian hesitated for a while, and said in a low voice: "Then why don't we forge a dead body of Wei Zhongxian and bring it back for business."

Lu Jianxing was startled when he heard the words, and then shook his head with a wry smile: "It's not that simple. Do you think that those above will believe you just pointing at a dead body casually and calling him Wei Zhongxian? Let's not mention anything else, Wei Zhongxian But there is the badge of the admiral of Dongchang, and only by getting that badge can he prove his identity."

As soon as these words came out, Lu Jianxing and Shen Lian fell into silence.

At this moment, Jin Yichuan's slightly weird voice came from the overturned carriage beside him.

"Big brother, second brother."

"What's the matter, third brother?"

"The brand you mentioned, but this one?"

As he said that, Jin Yichuan poked his head out of the car window, holding a jade plaque in his hand, with five large characters engraved on it——

"Admiral Dongchang·Wei"
