Chapter 366: I Don’t Know Them Personally
Listening to the soldier’s explanation, A Lu Da already knew where these barbarians got their poison. He thought for a while and said, "Take these two corpses back."
After he said that, the soldiers made a simple stretcher out of dry branches and roots, piled the two corpses on the stretcher, and carried them back to the village. Two hours later, they came down from the mountain in the northern part of Shen Gu Village.
The villagers dared not make sounds when they saw the barbarians’ corpses on the stretcher. When A Lu Da and the others walked towards the prison, the two men standing behind the villagers stared at the barbarian’s body for a while, and then left quietly.
When A Lu Da walked into the prison, A Lu Qian had just finished interrogating prisoners. Looking at A Lu Qian’s blood-stained clothes, A Lu Da looked at A Lu Ge and said, "Xiao Xiong, go find your fourth elder brother and tell him the information we found so far."
A Lu Ge nodded, then smiled at A Lu Qian, and went to the barracks to find A Lu Zhi. Seeing his eldest brother sending his youngest brother away, A Lu Qian calmly wiped off the blood on his cheek and asked, "Eldest Brother, have you caught the barbarians?"
A Lu Da shook his head and said, "Originally we managed to catch two of them, but before we could bring them back, they committed suicide by taking poison."
Hearing what he said, A Lu Qian raised his eyebrows slightly. A Lu Da knew what he wanted to say, and said, "It’s my fault. I was careless."
A Lu Qian didn’t say anything, but walked towards the two corpses. He squatted beside the stretcher, inspected the corpse for a while, and said, "Take these two corpses to the autopsy room."
"Yes, Sir."
After the soldiers carried the two corpses away, A Lu Qian stood up, and then looked at A Lu Da and said, "Eldest Brother, help me tell my fourth younger brother that the mastermind behind this incident is the Moon Pavilion. Their purpose is to create chaos in our village and then kidnap Xu Xiang. Tell her to be careful these few days until we catch all the spies and solve this matter."
Hearing what he said just now, A Lu Da was a little surprised because he never expected that their real target was not Shen Gu Village, but Xu Xiang. A few seconds later, A Lu Da said, "All right. I will inform her and strengthen our defense."
After walking a few steps, he turned around and said, "One of the soldiers said that only the Cao family from the Shang Empire could make the poison that those two dead barbarians took."
