Ma Biao stared at him coldly and asked in a deep voice, "Do you know why I'm looking for you?"
Xue Dahai's head was shaking like a rattle.
"Do you know who is in that coffin?"
Upon hearing this, Xue Dahai's expression suddenly changed and he waved his hands hurriedly, "I don't know, I don't know what you are talking about."
Ma Biao did not speak, but turned to look at the distinguished guests beside him.
Seeing this, Gao Peng sighed, "Master Xue, I've already done it, so don't do it forcefully."
"You." Xue Dahai glared at Gao Peng, and finally sighed helplessly.
"Hey, what if I tell you? The person behind me is also an official. Can you afford to offend him?"
Looking at the arrogant Xue Dahai, Ma Biao wished he could chop off his head right now, but he didn't finish his question and couldn't be impulsive now.
"Xue Dahai, whether I can offend you or not, you have to know that I can chop off your head at any time."
"I say, I say." Under Ma Biao's strong aura, Xue Dahai had to lower his head.
"Now that it's happened, I'll tell you."
"There is a place twenty miles east of here..." Before he could finish his words, there was a sudden sound of a sharp blade cutting through the air. Before Ma Biao could recover, Xue Dahai trembled.
Immediately afterwards, I saw a flying knife stuck on Xue Dahai's temple.
Too bad, he was silenced.
Ma Biao leaned down, grabbed Xue Dahai's neck and asked loudly, "Tell me where it is? Where is it?"
Xue Dahai opened his eyes slightly, stared at Ma Biao, and uttered three words with difficulty, "Paoma Mountain."
Ma Biao put Xue Dahai down and turned to look at Gao Peng, "Where is Paoma Mountain?"
"Sir, please keep walking eastward along the road from the town. It will take about twenty miles to get there."
After hearing these words, Ma Biao strode back, turned around at the door of the courtyard and said coldly, "I hope what you said is true."
The cold and frosty tone frightened Gao Peng, and he let out a long breath after watching him walk away.
"My tnd provoked whomever I provoked, and I ended up in such a bad situation."
Ma Biao beat Ma Rufei, left Fengjia Town, met Liu Ziming and the others, and said in a deep voice, "Go to Paoma Mountain, quickly."
While talking, Ma Biao took out a charcoal pen from his body, wrote a few words on the paper, took the pigeon cage handed to him by the person next to him, hung it on his leg, and then let the pigeon go.
Ma Biao rushed to Paoma Mountain with the twenty or so people behind him, while the carrier pigeon flew to the capital a hundred miles away.
The capital city is close to the imperial palace. It is a majestic mansion, with the plaque at the door alone being more than three feet high.
On it is a personal letter written by the current emperor, with the three characters "Guo Gong Gong".
Next to it stood a stone tablet. Civil servants dismounted from sedan chairs and military attaches dismounted from horses. This meant that all passers-by had to walk past the gate of the Protector, which demonstrated the noble status of the owner of the family.
A carrier pigeon circled and landed, and a middle-aged man in brocade robes quickly stepped forward, took off the bamboo joints on his feet, took a quick look and walked into the study.
In the study, it was Liu Xiangnan, the protector of the country.
Liu Xiangnan's beard had turned gray and he was looking at the map on the table in a daze. When he saw this man coming in, he couldn't help but ask, "Liu Kai, what's the news?"
Liu Kai bowed slightly and said, "Ma Biao sent a message just now. The second young master may be in Paoma Mountain. He has already rushed there."
Liu Xiangnan paused, looked at the map on the table again, and said in a deep voice, "Paoma Mountain is actually just a small hill. There is no dangerous place to defend. How could you occupy it?"
Liu Kai also looked puzzled, "Master Hou is right, I also think that although the vegetation there is dense, it is obviously not suitable for hiding."
Liu Xiangnan slowly stood up, put his hands behind his back and walked around the study twice, "Take a few people to reinforce Paoma Mountain.
Liu Kai hesitated for a moment, "Master Hou, I'm afraid it won't help if there are too few people, so we should mobilize the Zuowei Battalion..."
Liu Xiangnan's expression became solemn, "Isn't it embarrassing enough? You have to rely on the Royal Guards to find a corpse, so where is my face, Liu Xiangnan?"
Liu Kai opened his mouth, but finally bowed and backed out.
At this time, Ma Biao had already led people to Paoma Mountain.
Looking at the lush woods on the mountain, Ma Biao waved his hand and said to everyone, "Hide the horses and follow me into the mountain."
Everyone hid the horse in the woods on the roadside, leaving two people to guard it. The rest followed Ma Biao and hurried into Paoma Mountain.
After entering Paoma Mountain, Ma Biao would take a few steps and then stop to investigate carefully.
After walking about a mile, he suddenly showed a look of joy and said, "Look at the traces of the carriage and it stopped here."
"Everyone, spread out and search nearby. You will definitely find something."
After hearing his words, everyone immediately dispersed. Ma Biao glanced around and walked towards a small hill in front.
The hill was overgrown with weeds and didn't look that conspicuous. Suddenly, it didn't look like there was anything wrong with it. However, Ma Biao walked around and became more and more suspicious.
The more normal it is, the more abnormal it is. This little hill looks so normal that it has to make people suspicious.
But looking around, I don't think anything is wrong.
At this moment, someone suddenly ran up to him in a hurry and bowed to him and said, "Military advisor, Butler Liu is here."
After hearing this, Ma Biao didn't stop for a moment and hurriedly walked down Paoma Mountain to greet him.
Seeing Liu Kai, Ma Biao respectfully clasped his fists and saluted, "I've met the butler."
Liu Kai waved his hand, "Okay, no need to be polite. After receiving your letter, the Marquis ordered me to help you."
After speaking, he raised his finger and pointed at Paoma Mountain, "Did you find anything?"
"The investigation is ongoing. Chief Butler, please follow me."
Ma Biao took Liu Kai to this small hill.
"Butler, I always feel that something is wrong with this hill. Please come and take a look."
Liu Kai circled the hill twice and suddenly said to the person next to him, "Light a torch for me."
Someone lit a torch and handed it to Liu Kai's hand.
Liu Kai held the torch and approached the hill, slowly moving forward bit by bit.
Suddenly, a gust of wind from nowhere instantly sucked the flames into the hill.
Seeing this scene, Liu Kai smiled slightly and made a mark here.
"Ma Biao, come and see again."
Ma Biao stepped forward and inspected it carefully again. He couldn't help but admire, "The design here is very exquisite. If it hadn't been for the guidance of the butler, I wouldn't have been able to see a gap here."
Liu Kai nodded and waved in the distance.
Soon, several soldiers rushed over.
These soldiers held a variety of tools in their hands, aiming at this gap, and they were busy for a while.
Finally, there was a creaking sound, and a dark hole appeared on the hill.
Seeing this scene, Ma Biao was stunned and stunned.
"Butler, this, this..."
Liu Kai said nothing and raised his finger to point at the entrance of the cave.
