Who Says Only Women Cause Disaster? Men Do Too
Jiang Yimian and the Two People galloped on horseback along the official road outside Yuncheng Prefecture.
Many water droplets splashed from the puddles on the road, and fell back into the various puddles.
The rain last night caused landslides in many places on the official road, but fortunately they were not particularly large, so it did not affect the Horse running.
When they arrived at the Hillside where they had met the Woman, Jiang Yimian and the Two People found a secluded place to tie up the Horse and walked up the Mountain.
The official road is surrounded by low Hillside, which do not look high, but once up there, one finds that the Mountain Forest is very deep, with lush trees everywhere, and the green leaves block the outside light, making the Woods somewhat dark.
Because of the rain last night, the road was wet and slippery, with soft Soil mixed with Withered Branches and Fallen Leaves everywhere, making slight splashing sounds when stepped on.
Jiang Yimian and the Two People did not have an easy time walking, but fortunately they got used to it quickly.
The Two People walked and looked all the way, but after walking for almost half an hour, they did not find any signs of anyone living on the Mountain.
Jiang Yimian frowned and said with Doubt, “Since that Woman can collect Medicinal Herbs near the official road, she should have settled on this Mountain, so how can there be no trace of life at all.”
A Young Woman like her could not possibly go deep into the Woods, she should be nearby.
Lu Cijian also found it strange, looked around and found nothing Abnormal, but his Line of Sight suddenly glanced at a string of messy Mark in the distance.
He pointed to the Mark, “Look there.”
Some indistinct Mark appeared on the Soil, mixed with leaves and some small Puddle.
Jiang Yimian looked over and only felt that the Mark looked like human Footprint, but because of the rain, it was not very clear.
She walked over and looked carefully before saying, “These should be human Footprint, and from an Adult Man, possibly carrying something heavy, otherwise, it would not leave such deep Mark.”
If it hadn’t rained heavily last night, these Mark should be more obvious.
Lu Cijian raised his eyebrows, “Yimian also understands these things?”
Distinguishing a person’s weight and height from Footprint is generally a method used by the Ministry of Justice or Dali Temple, but he did not know that Yimian could do it too.
Jiang Yimian said with a Smile, “Of course, I am versatile, just watch.”
When she went on Missions before, she had mixed into the Reconnaissance Section, she learned a lot of criminal investigation knowledge, and in addition to already understanding Medical Skill and being familiar with human anatomy, it was faster to learn, so much so that she subconsciously said it when she saw the Footprint.
Lu Cijian curved his lips, his peach blossom Eyes were full of Smile, and he said seriously, “Well, This Official can only rely on Doctor Jiang today.”
The Youth was already handsome, with bright Eyes like stars, and when he smiled, his whole face softened, losing that arrogant handsomeness and instead gaining a hint of gentleness.
Jiang Yimian was momentarily dazed, but she heard a chuckle in her ear, “Is Mianmian staring at me in a daze?”
The Smile on Lu Cijian’s lips deepened, and his Eyes, staring at her, were sparkling, as if hiding stars.
Being stared at by those burning Eyes, Jiang Yimian only felt her face heating up.
Seeing the distance between the Two People getting closer and closer, Jiang Yimian quickly shifted her Line of Sight, pushed away that handsome face, and stared at the Footprint on the ground, saying, “Serious Matters.”
She was almost seduced by this guy, who said only Woman were troublemakers, Man are too.
Lu Cijian only responded with some disappointment, his face full of grievance.
Jiang Yimian pretended not to see it, stared at the Footprint for a while, and then found more messy footsteps in front.
This time it was not just one person, but a large number of people, with various deep and shallow, large and small Footprint mixed together.
She immediately frowned and said, “These should all be Footprint from last night, it was quite lively here yesterday.”
Lu Cijian immediately said seriously, “Let’s follow them and see what happens.”
The Two People followed the messy Footprint all the way and only saw an open area, the trees around were not as dense as before, only a few scattered trees stood there, somewhat lonely.
The Footprint stopped abruptly at this point, as if everything had been erased, leaving no trace, even those messy Mark that did not look like Footprint had disappeared.
Jiang Yimian frowned, somewhat helpless, “The rain was too heavy last night, washing away all the Mark.”
There were still some Mark in front, entirely because of the shelter of the leaves, this place was too open, and after a rain last night, nothing could be retained.
Lu Cijian’s expression also became more and more serious, not knowing who was being searched for here last night, whether it was the person he was looking for.
There was too little news from the palace, and there was no news from the Ink Pavilion either.
He did not even know whether Great General Wei was in Qingnan, it was like searching for a needle in a Sea.
In addition, there were people from the Chu Prince Glower, it was unknown whether he could successfully find Great General Wei this time and bring him back to the Capital.
Thinking of this, he only said, “Let’s go back first, I will let Wang San and They come here to search carefully, and be sure to find out what happened here.”
The area of this Mountain was much larger than he imagined, and it would be difficult for them to find anything useful in a short time, relying only on the Two People.
In addition, there were still those Refugees to deal with, there were many things to do, and they needed to be done one by one.
Jiang Yimian nodded, and was about to leave, when she heard several subtle sounds coming from the Woods, like voices.
She was startled, exchanged a glance with Lu Cijian, tacitly kept silent, and walked straight towards the source of the sound.
After passing through a small Woods, she saw a dozen Man in Combat Outfit, looking around, each of them somewhat listless, the fatigue on their faces could not be hidden.
One of them was a little impatient, “Why haven’t They come back yet, could they be slacking off, we’ve been on this Mountain all night to catch someone, and haven’t found anything.
Even if Elder Brother Qi caught someone, he should have sent us a message.”
“Who knows who that person who ran away last night was, looked like he was carrying someone on his back, but ran so fast, maybe it was a Deceptive Trick.”
“I don’t think it looked like the one next to Wei Jinghai, that guy was Seriously Injured, but he was still so powerful, Qi Shang didn’t leave That Person behind even with so many people.”
“That Deputy General Jiang is said to be most skilled not in fighting people, but in that superb formation of troops, a good hand on the Battlefield.
Even so, so many of us did not catch him.”
“Yesterday he ran away carrying someone on his back, I don’t even know if it was Wei Jinghai, or else let’s continue to search on the Mountain.
What if that guy pulls a feint?”
“That’s right, if we find him, the matter will be settled, and we can go into the city to rest, why would we risk looking for someone on the Mountain in the rain.”
Hearing this, the crowd barely cheered up, and were about to continue to Disperse to find someone, when they suddenly heard a subtle exclamation.
Those people instantly Vigilant looked towards the Woods.
The Head only signaled the people around him to go and see.
That Person lightened his footsteps, touching the Weapon at his waist, and slowly walked towards the place where Jiang Yimian and They were hiding.
