The village was entirely illuminated by braziers, and in the large connected shadows, two figures were speeding past like ghosts.
"Huh..." Qinggong brought up the faint sound of wind.
The flames jumping in the brazier were blown a bit by the wind, swaying left and right, and the light and shadow on the ground also swayed uncertainly, and it was unclear where the shadow was.
It's not quiet in the deep mountains. There are faint sounds of howling wolves in the distance, which send chills down one's spine.
On the top floor of a tall wooden building.
A secret sentry was hiding by the window, using the tools in his hand to constantly inspect the cottage below.
Because he was so focused, he didn't notice at all that the closed wooden door behind him quietly came loose.
Suddenly, there was a crisp sound of "squeak!"
Anshao was startled and turned his head instinctively: "Who?!" His hand had already grasped the handle of the knife at his waist.
However, there was no one behind him.
Only the howling of the wind blew open the half-closed door.
"Squeak--" The door opened completely.
Anshao was confused and muttered: "Strange, didn't I lock the door? Why is it still blown open by the wind?"
The village has always been peaceful, and nothing major has happened in the past few years.
Although the leader from above repeatedly ordered to be more vigilant, the secret whistle did not take it seriously. He secretly complained that the leader was making a fuss out of a molehill. What could happen in the village after so many years of stability?
Therefore, the secret whistler walked over and closed the door without thinking too much.
Just when his figure appeared at the door!
A ghostly figure suddenly hung upside down from the eaves and raised his hand lightly.
"Chi!" The voice was extremely soft.
Before An Shao could react, he felt a sharp pain in his neck, and warm blood spurted out.
There were large and small drops of blood splattered on the ground.
An Shao instinctively covered his throat and staggered back two steps.
His eyes widened in horror, and he wanted to speak, but only a strange "ho ho!" sound came out of his throat, and his body soon fell down with blood spilling out.
Xiao Lingyue fell to the ground, ducked into the room, caught An Shao's body with one hand, and leaned him gently against the wall.
The pungent smell of blood filled the room.
Xiao Lingyue dealt with the hidden sentry and was about to leave when she suddenly saw something by the window.
Her eyes flashed, and she walked over and picked it up. It turned out to be a telescope.
The so-called telescope is the most basic version of a telescope.
Use iron sheets to make a frame, then use high-purity crystal or glass to polish two lenses into concave and convex shapes, and then inlay them properly to make them.
Although the telephoto effect and clarity are far inferior to those of modern products, in ancient times, this kind of telescope was a real luxury product and was expensive to make. It was usually only used by the military or noble families.
There is no shortage of this kind of thing in the Seven Kingdoms, but it is definitely not available to ordinary people.
Where did these bandits come from?
Xiao Lingyue touched the shell of the telescope with her fingers and saw patterns on it. Looking through the moonlight outside the window, she found that the iron shell was hollowed out and carved with a strange flying fish pattern printed on it.
It doesn't look like an ordinary decoration, but more like some kind of symbol.
Northern Qin is located in the north, there are not many rivers, and there are few fish patterns.
Xiao Lingyue felt that the pattern looked familiar, but for a moment she couldn't remember where she had seen it.
After thinking about it, she simply took the telescope away with her and asked Zhan Beihan if he knew him.
The process of solving the hidden whistle was very smooth.
Ten minutes later, Xiao Lingyue and Zhan Beihan met on the trail, both of them stained with the smell of blood. Popular "" This chapter has been completed!
