Luo Qingyan ignored him. He walked around the four corpses several times, but stopped beside a big tree.
Seeing that Luo Qingyan seemed to have found something, the secret guard quickly followed her and looked at the tree.
"This tree..."
The secret guards soon found something wrong and took a few steps forward to carefully check the fracture of the tree.
"The fracture is neat. It doesn't seem to be broken by a mountain stone. Someone cut it off. "
Luo Qingyan didn't say anything. He just raised his hand and stroked the neat broken part. No one knew what he was thinking about.
When the secret guard got this clue, he was very excited. He quickly called several secret guards over and told them in detail. Then they carefully looked around.
After a short while, the secret guard founds something new. "We found three neatly cut trees in total. The trees are all very thick, and a person can hold them with both arms. I have checked the three trees carefully and found that except for the neat fractures, there are also some traces on them... "
The secret guard quickly walked over and pointed at the traces he had found. "It seems that it has been strangled by something."
As the secret guard spoke, he quickly ordered the others to carry the other two trees over and put them neatly together.
"Master, look, if the traces of these three trees are put together, it seems that they have been tied together by something."
Luo Qingyan fixed his eyes on the three trees in front of him. After a while, he said in a trembling voice, "They were tied together."
He quickly came to his senses and said, "At that time, she must have asked someone to cut down the three trees and tied them together. Then, she must have used the terrain or something to form a barrier with the three trees together, which can protect them from the attacks of rocks."
"It's just that there is no protection on the side, so the other secret guards line up on both sides to protect them. Therefore, the four secret guards died in a squatting position. I think they not only squatted, but also tightly held the trees beside them to prevent themselves from being washed away by the stones and mud. "
The position of the corpses appeared in the secret guards' minds, and his eyes widened. "Yes! When I first saw those corpses, I was wondering how they died and why they were in that position? Hearing master's words, I finally realized that the posture was indeed like squatting down and holding something beside... "
"But..." The secret guard was still confused. "If these trees were tied together, why were they scattered in different places? If those secret guards were on both sides of the tree and held it tightly, why were the corpses in different places? "
Clenching his fists in her sleeves, Luo Qingyan felt her heart trembling. "Because she was afraid that we might not be the first to find out the truth."
"She?" The secret guard was stunned for a while before he understood, "Master is talking about... her majesty? "
