Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 781 Turkic Cavalry
A smile appeared on Di Renjie's face, and Wang Mang said, "My lord, I'll go down and have a look first."

Di Renjie nodded after pondering for a moment, "Attention, be gentle and don't disturb the people inside."

Wang Mang nodded, and with a sound of "Cang", he drew out the long sword at his waist.

The fire was shining, and Wang Mang and Di Renjie walked into the tunnel along the steps. The two held their breath, slowed down, and walked forward slowly.

The tunnel is very short, and it ends after a dozen steps.

Wang Mang in front waved his hand, Di Renjie nodded slightly, and the two stood against the wall.

Wang Mang blew out the fire and looked out with his head.

There was a round cave in front of me, and there was no one there. A small oil lamp was lit on the table, emitting a faint light.

Wang Mang breathed a sigh of relief, put away the sword in his hand, and the two walked into the cave.

There was a pungent smell of lamb in the empty cave, and there were more than a dozen wooden beds and two square tables propped against the wall.

The table was very messy, full of cups, plates and bowls and short knives for cutting meat.

There are several stoves on the ground, and the charcoal fire in the stoves has been extinguished.

Wang Mang and Di Renjie walked slowly to a bed, looked intently, and saw a worn-out piece of clothing lying on the bed.

Di Renjie picked up the clothes and looked at the light that Wang Mang held up. It was a waistcoat embroidered with lace, and its style was not Han.

Wang Mang looked under the bed, where there was a pair of leather boots.

He picked up the leather boots and handed them to Di Renjie.

Di Renjie picked up the leather boots and looked carefully. They were a pair of typical leather boots worn by Turkic cavalry.

The toe and sides of the boot had been split, with two large holes.

Di Renjie was thinking quietly, and Wang Mang said softly: "My lord, here, this place doesn't seem like a place where silversmiths are imprisoned."

Di Renjie raised his waistcoat and boots and said, "It looks like a Turkic barracks."

Wang Mang looked at the leather boots in Di Renjie's hand: "My lord, these leather boots..."

Di Renjie said: "Look, this embroidered waistcoat is a typical style that Turkic youths like to wear. Look at these leather boots. The head is turned up and the heel has spurs. These are special riding boots for Turkic cavalry."

Wang Mang nodded: "It seems that those Turkic cavalry are living here."

Di Renjie nodded and said, "That's for sure. It looks like they've already left."

Wang Mang said, "Not bad."

Di Renjie said to Wang Mang: "I think we should go back to the empty field first and see what Yuanfang and the others find."

Wang Mang nodded: "Yes!"

With that said, he led the way, and the two walked out of the cave.

……

Li Yuanfang, Zeng Tai and Wu Yuanmin stood in the empty field waiting for Wang Mang and Di Renjie.

Suddenly, there was a faint sound of horseshoes in the distance. Li Yuanfang was startled, and pulled Zeng Tai and Wu Yuanmin to hide behind the broken wall not far away.

Wu Yuanmin asked inexplicably, "What's wrong?"

Li Yuanfang hissed and said, "Someone is here."

Wu Yuanmin said, "Why didn't I hear it?"

Zeng Tai frowned, but he believed in Li Yuanfang's judgment and did not speak.

As soon as the words fell, the sound of horseshoes was approaching.

Wu Yuanmin quickly shut his mouth.

Li Yuanfang and Zeng Tai looked out.

Five horses came galloping from far to near, and stopped in the empty field. The leader said in surprise: "Oh, why are the haystacks falling down!"

Another person said: "It must have been a storm last night, and it was blown down by the wind."

The leader nodded and said, "Everyone cover the carriage."

Five people jumped off the horse, led the horse into the stable and tied it up, and covered the carriage with straw.

The leader looked around and said, "Let's go."

The five walked quickly to the west of the village.

Li Yuanfang leaned close to Zeng Tai and Wu Yuanmin's ear and whispered: "Brother Zeng, you stay here and don't move, I will come as soon as I go."

As he spoke, he gave Zeng Tai a wink.

Zeng Tai nodded, but at this moment, Wu Yuanmin grabbed Li Yuanfang and said, "No, I want to go with you."

Li Yuanfang looked outside and said anxiously: "Don't you want to be a knight, then stay here and wait for Mr. Huai to come back."

Wu Yuanmin snorted and said, "What kind of chivalrous man is that?"

Li Yuanfang was quick-witted, and said: "This is called a supporter, and it is the most important among knights. I will tell you about it later."

Wu Yuanmin was dubious: "Really, don't you lie to me?"

Li Yuanfang said perfunctorily, "Really."

Wu Yuanmin looked at Zeng Tai, and Zeng Tai nodded: "What Yuan Fang said is true, let's wait here, sir!"

Wu Yuanmin glanced at Zeng Tai, let go of his hand, Li Yuanfang flew out with a whoosh, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Wu Yuanmin looked up in surprise in the direction of Li Yuanfang's disappearance, and said softly: "My god...this is flying over the wall!"

Seeing Wu Yuanmin's surprised look, Zeng Tai shook his head.

……

The five walked quickly on the dirt road, with Li Yuanfang following far behind.

Seeing five people turning into a dilapidated courtyard, Li Yuanfang pondered for a moment, then came to the gate of the courtyard a few times, and looked inside...

The five people had disappeared. Li Yuanfang took a deep breath and walked in slowly. There was only one half-leaf side room in the courtyard, and the room was empty, with a hearth built under the west wall.

Li Yuanfang looked around, and there was silence around him, without the slightest sound.

He pondered for a moment, jumped up and ran back.

Zeng Tai and Wu Yuanmin waited anxiously in the empty field, and Wang Mang and Di Renjie walked over.

Zeng Tai and Wu Yuanmin rushed forward and said, "Sir, Jing Yang."

Wang Mang looked at Zeng Tai and Wu Yuanmin who were standing in the open space in surprise: "Brother Zeng, why are you two alone, where is Yuan Fang?"

Di Renjie looked at Zeng Tai.

Before Zeng Tai could speak, Wu Yuanmin pointed to the stable and said, "Five people came here just now, and Li Yuanfang followed them into the village."

Wang Mang and Di Renjie turned their heads to look at the stable, and sure enough there were five more horses in the stable.

Di Renjie smiled and said, "It looks like they haven't gone far."

Wang Mang said happily, "Yes."

Before he finished speaking, Li Yuanfang descended from the sky like a big bird, and landed in front of Wang Mang, Di Renjie and others.

Wang Mang smiled and said, "Yuan Fang, you are back."

Li Yuanfang nodded: "Yes, Jing Yang. Sir, five riders came just now..."

Di Renjie nodded: "Xiaohong has already told me."

Li Yuanfang said: "I followed them to the gate of a ruined courtyard in the west of the village, and these people disappeared after entering the courtyard, which is really strange.

I think there must be news from the agency in the courtyard, and there are secret doors and secret passages.I wanted to check it out, but I was afraid that it would startle the snake. "

Di Renjie nodded and said, "You are right. Li Yuanfang, is there a broken room in that courtyard?"

Li Yuanfang said: "Yes, yes."

Di Renjie continued: "There is a stove under the wall of the dilapidated house."

Li Yuanfang said in surprise, "Exactly, how did you know?"

Di Renjie smiled and looked at Wang Mang.
