402.

Forge Cave

Li Pojun sat down and looked at Li Ran's empty right arm, his heart tingled, his father Li Tie has followed the Li family all his life, and he has also entered the Li family since he was a child, and grew up together, like brothers, but now his father and son are actually killed and disabled.

Looking at the sixteen-year-old Li Ran's still very immature face, and now crying like a doll of a few years old, Li Pojun said bluntly: "Ah Ran, don't worry, I will avenge you."

Looking at Li Ran's pale and bloodless face, Li Pojun said again: "You rest first." Then he shouted out Feng Xin and went out.

Li Junxian was still standing in the courtyard, and Li Pojun asked Feng Xin directly, "Where is Commander Lin's body?"

Feng Xin replied honestly when he heard this: "The weather is hot, and I can't leave Ah Ran to go to Chang'an to find His Royal Highness for a while, so I will simply be buried in the back mountain."

Li Pojun frowned when he heard this, and he didn't say anything, everyone was already dead, and he would wait for a generous burial in the coming day to make compensation.

Again, he asked, "What about the craftsmen?"

Feng Xin replied: "The man in black killed all the masons, and burned the house again, leaving no bones."

Li Pojun also couldn't bear it for a while when he heard this, and there were no bones left...... He killed all of them indirectly.

Li Pojun was silent for a long time, and then said to Li Junxian: "General Li, it's okay to have me here, when I came, the sage said that you can go back to reply to the decree when I come, General Li will go back today, you have to go on a trip."

Seeing this, Li Junxian also bowed and said: "In this case, the minister has returned to Beijing first, and if His Highness has anything, he can order it at any time."

Li Pojun nodded, and Li Junxian left resolutely.

Seeing this, Feng Xin said: "Why did Your Highness let General Li go, those 1,000 elite soldiers are very powerful, in case ......."

Li Pojun frowned when he heard this, "I'm afraid he won't come, it's good to come, the thief really dares to kill me."

Feng Xin also shrank his neck when he heard this, thinking about it, since that group of people knew Li Pojun's identity, although they were bold enough to dare to rob and kill Li Pojun's subordinates, but if they really wanted to say that they dared to kill His Royal Highness the Prince, even if they didn't have the courage, after all, the prince of the East Palace was besieged and killed, and the anger caused by this was not a little bit, and Li Shimin poured all the strength of the whole country to exterminate it, which is not only an emotional problem, but also a face problem.

Listening to Li Ran's crying, after lunch, Li Pojun commanded: "Chen Kang led 200 people here, and I led 300 people into Jiashan to see the situation."

Chen Kang was anxious when he heard this, "Your Highness, then your safety ......."

"No, there are three hundred elites here, and Shi Jin is here, I'm afraid." Li Pojun made a decision immediately.

After noon, Li Pojun led Shi Jin, Feng Xin and three hundred elites into the mountain.

The mountain is still the original rugged mountain road, the mountain road is steep and the stones are dense.

It's just that Zhang Yajiu is forging armor in the mountain, and there are people who have to go in and out of the mountain to replenish supplies from time to time, and this road has been opened up after many times.

Li Pojun watched on the side of the road with the seven-star sword, and from time to time there were traces of dried and faded blood on the stones on the side of the road, but there were only dots, not much, which should have been contaminated by those black-clothed men who killed the five guards in the forging cave.

Shi Jin resisted the halberd and followed him inch by the side, because when he left, Chen Kang explained to him that this trip might be dangerous, and he had to protect His Highness carefully.

Walking all the way forward, turning a few corners, you can see the valley where the armor was created.

When I went down to the valley, I saw that the vines at the entrance of the cave had been cut off in pieces.

Li Pojun walked in with a gloomy face, and saw that there were still traces of destruction after the fight on the ground, and there were scratches on the wall of the cave, but there were no corpses.

Seeing this, Feng Xin said bluntly: "I buried my five brothers on the hillside outside."

Li Pojun nodded silently, and walked to the inner room again, the light in the inner room was no longer very bright, and the soldiers behind him lit the torch in time and handed it to Li Pojun, and Li Pojun went straight into the torch.

Passing through the narrow tunnel connecting the inner cave and the outer cave that only allowed one person to pass, suddenly, Li Pojun smelled a smell of blood, raised the torch and saw that there were dry blood stains on the wall of the Yongdao cave, but the color was fresher, after all, this dark and damp Yongdao road did not see sunlight all year round, and the dry one was not as thorough as the outside.

Feng Xin said again: "There is a brother who died here with a knife, he was shot to death by a bow and crossbow, and he was also killed by ten thousand arrows through his chest."

Li Pojun couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, he could imagine that at that time, the five guards were fighting and retreating to protect Zhang Yajiu and retreat to the inner cave.

In the end, a person was in charge of the narrow corridor here, and he resisted the attack of the thieves, and the enemy could not attack, so he released crossbow arrows in this narrow corridor where there was no way to retreat, and there was no way to avoid it............

Li Pojun went straight into the inner cave, and the big furnace in the inner cave was still there, but there was no trace of anyone, and there was a simple weapon rack next to it, and there was no armor on it.

Li Pojun looked around the inner cave and saw carefully, there were no obvious traces of fighting in the inner cave, there were no traces of blood, and there were no traces of swords on the cave wall, so Zhang Yajiu and the two blacksmiths should be sure that they were captured.

After looking for a long time and not seeing any useful clues and evidence, Li Pojun couldn't help but feel annoyed, after all, several days have passed, but it is basically certain that the family did it.

Outside the inner cave is a cliff, which is a Jedi where "the flight of the yellow crane is not yet crossed, and the ape wants to spend his sorrow and climb", it is difficult to go up, so he lights up a torch and returns from the original way.

Walking in the narrow corridor that could only accommodate one person, Li Pojun looked at the dark narrow passage, and always felt that there would be some evidence here.

At the moment, he said: "Light a few more torches, and carefully check this corridor for me to see what I find."

More than a dozen guards received the order, and they burned wooden torches one after another, and looked at them carefully.

There are many torches, and suddenly there is a burst of heat in the narrow corridor, and at the same time, it is also bright, and it is very real.

The traces of the sword slashing on the wall, as well as the marks of the pit baby shot by the bow and crossbow on the cave wall, are all real.

Li Pojun squatted down and picked up an arrow, and after a closer look, the arrow tail cut was still crossed out. But there were still a lot of arrows on the ground, and there were a few in the cracks in the cave walls.

"Pick up all the arrows and cut off the soldiers, and don't pull them down at all." Li Pojun said directly.

When the soldiers heard this, they scavenged up the remaining blades.

Looking at the sword scratches on the cave wall, Li Pojun could imagine the bravery and desperation of the guard, and he immediately thought in his heart that he must give enough compensation when he goes back.
