Wei Cang frowned. “Come with me to take a look.”
He didn’t forget to arrange for all the guards to guard Princess Yaoguang in the carriage.
After all, from Yuan Gu’s description, it was very likely that there was an expert lying in ambush nearby.
When Wei Cang brought a small group of people and followed Yuan Gu to the village entrance…
He was shocked by the scene before him, even though he had been through hundreds of battles.
Corpses were strewn everywhere.
Broken limbs were everywhere and the amount of blood flowing was almost like a stream.
Wei Cang quickly checked these dead people.
From their clothes, they were indeed in cahoots with the mountain bandits he had fought just now.
Yuan Gu said with a solemn expression, “It seems that these mountain bandits were originally coming to provide support.”
He pointed at some gold and silver jewelry scattered on the ground.
“They must have robbed a place nearby and came to meet up with the main group. They didn’t expect to be killed here.”
Wei Cang frowned and looked at their injuries.
“There are many bruises on their bodies. They look like they were injured by punches.”
He couldn’t help but straighten up, his expression turning even more solemn.
There were more than 40 mountain bandits, so how many people were there to have killed them?
What numbers were there for them to be able to avoid the mountain bandits’ sabers and punch them until they were unable to fight back before killing them with their sabers.
Yuan Gu searched everywhere, but he only found a long saber with a blade that had curled from repet.i.tive slashing.
From the looks of it, that person had s.n.a.t.c.hed it from the mountain bandits when he made a move.
Yuan Gu said a terrifying thought.
“From the incision on the broken limbs, they… should have died at the hands of the same person.”
Wei Cang subconsciously reprimanded, “That’s impossible!”
How could anyone kill so many people at the same time?!
When they were fighting the other mountain bandits in the village, they didn’t hear the screams here?
If the other party was really alone…
How terrifying must their skills be to be able to kill more than 40 people effortlessly?
Yuan Gu thought for a moment. “I heard that there’s a Wolf King youth who was saved from the Yaoxia Kingdom by the Great Qi’s emperor.
“The Yaoxia Kingdom has a mystic technique that can control and tame ferocious beasts for their use. Apart from humans, they also have wolves as their army.”
Actually, the so-called mystic techniques were just a cruel way to train sacrificial soldiers.
The people from the Yaoxia Kingdom called the surviving child from the group of children who was thrown into a wolf pack to fight the Wolf King.
Yuan Gu tried his best to sound calm. “It’s said that the extremely skilled Marquis Yongye is the Wolf King youth who came from the Yaoxia Kingdom back then. Could he have done it…”
If that was the case, this meant that Marquis Yongye was hiding nearby!
That was a weapon that could kill without batting an eyelid.
Wei Cang had long heard of Ye Siming’s name.
He took a deep breath and said, “I naturally know how powerful he is. It’s just that before we came, we had already set up a diversionary tactic.
“The emperor of Great Qi, Gu Yihan, arranged for Marquis Yongye and the city patrols to scout the surroundings for the enemies. He probably hasn’t even rushed back yet, so how can he talk about killing mountain bandits here?
“Moreover, we’ve placed confusing road signs along the way. No matter how powerful Marquis Yongye is, he won’t be able to find us immediately.”
When Yuan Gu heard this, he could only nod. However, when he looked at the corpses all over the ground, he still felt a chill in his heart.
Wei Cang vaguely felt that someone was staring at him.
He didn’t want to waste any more time and waved his hand. “Get on the horse and set off now. We must leave the capital region before dawn tomorrow.”
“Yes!” Yuan Gu and the guards replied in unison.
When they left, in the distant forest, Ye Siming crossed his arms coldly and leaned against the tree trunk, looking at this group of people calmly.
The warhorse was grazing beside him, looking very leisurely.
Since the little thing wanted to go, he could only accompany her.
He hoped to bring a surprise to the Xili Empire.
