Chapter 23: Disappearance
"Caicai, I'll miss you. Qin Keke leaned on the railing of the inn and looked at Mo Caicai, who was eating melon seeds, with a reluctant face. Caicai's free hand crossed the railing and touched Coco's little face, and nodded very seriously, saying, "I'll miss you too." ”
Coco pouted and stomped her feet, "How can the king think that one is one out... Hmph.." They had only been out for a few days, so they hurriedly sent two letters in a row, asking Lin Ye to take Mo Caicai and Yuan Huan back to the royal city together, and asked her to continue walking with Lin Zhi. "Caicai, I don't want you to go back... Woohoo......"
Seeing that Qin Keke was about to cry, Mo Caicai was also distressed, she threw the melon seeds in her hand, hurriedly walked around the railing and hugged Coco, "Don't cry, what is this called, by the way, this is called the emperor's life." ”
"Well, I can't embarrass you. Then you can only finish your work sooner and come to me sooner. ”
"Okay, no problem. Caicai was like coaxing a child, "Let's go, sister will take you to buy something to eat." ”
"It's okay, I'm hungry. Although Qin Keke is not as attached to food as Mo Caicai, she also flatters the saying that people take food as the sky. She wiped the corners of her eyes, and Caicai held hands, and went out of the inn together, during this time in Qicheng, she could figure out where there was delicious food and where there was fun, and she could satisfy her appetite casually.
On the other side, Yuan Huan was not surprised to learn the news that he was going back with Lin Ye and the others. At this time, he was in Lin Zhi's room, but the look on his face was not very good-looking. Lin Zhi was also very surprised, and asked Lin Ye to go back, this is nothing, how could he call Yuan Huan? He glanced at Yuan Huan strangely, and couldn't help asking: "Huanhuan, what did your father tell you to go back for?"
Yuan Huan raised his eyebrows, "If I knew, I wouldn't have come to you." ”
"Hehe, it seems to be too, too. Lin Zhi smiled awkwardly.
"Since you are going back with us, there must be something that needs Yuan Gongzi, and you will know when you go back. ”
It was Lin Ye, who had just entered the door, who had just entered the door, and he walked into the room happily, and Lin Zhi was very amused when he saw him like this. "Second child, don't keep a straight face, as soon as the letter came, the letter from your father came, don't you think it's very strange?"
"I don't think there's anything weird, I think my father only keeps you and Qin Keke, that's weird. Lin Ye only felt a trace of joy when he kissed his brother.
"I'm sorry, say you, don't pull me. ”
"That's right, one of the ways of your Highness has always been to escape. ”
Seeing that the two were about to argue again, Yuan Huan had no choice but to come out to play a round, "Your Highnesses, please look at Yuan Huan's face, let's say a few words." Although the situation in Qicheng is under control, I still don't feel at ease. ”
"The matter of Qicheng, the epidemic is almost over, but..."Lin Zhi glanced at Lin Ye without saying anything, Yuan Huan didn't know about the involvement of the demon clan in Jinye Town, and they didn't plan to talk to him in detail. Lin Ye received Lin Zhi's eyes and pursed his lips, "At this time, my father must have known, and since there is no order, then we should act according to the plan specified before." Yuan Gongzi will go back to the royal city with us, and after you and Coco have arranged the affairs of Qicheng, we can set off for the ancient city of Nanyue, and when you go there to inspect first, the preparations are done, and if nothing happens, we can meet you after we finish our work. ”
Lin Zhi nodded without objection, but, "What you want to do back, my father didn't say a word in the letter, if there is a little difficulty, then..?"
"It shouldn't be a difficult matter, otherwise the king should recall the two together. ”
"Lin knows that you should learn from Yuan Gongzi well, don't grow your brain and don't grow up. Lin Ye took the opportunity to slap Lin Zhi again, Lin Zhiqi's teeth itched, "As your brother, your own brother, sometimes I really want to stuff you back into the belly of the queen mother." ”
"You dare to be unreasonable to the queen mother, I will go back and sue you, believe it or not. ”
"You dare! You..."
After only a few words, how could it be on again, Yuan Huan pinched his temples that were a little swollen, "Two, Yuan Huan has said goodbye first, and I'll see you when I leave the day after tomorrow." He hurriedly stood up, and before they could speak, he withdrew from the door and paced away.
"You're scaring people away. Lin Ye glanced at the empty doorway, and said intentionally or unintentionally: "I have concerns about him." ”
Lin Zhi also looked at the door, "Then you took him with you, didn't you put an irregular **." ”
"Huh. That's not all. Lin Ye poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and couldn't help frowning, "It's a little astringent, it's not delicious." ”
"Put it down, put it down, it's a waste to give it to you, and you won't drink tea. Lin Zhi put the teapot on the table farther away from Lin Ye, Lin Ye didn't have a brain, he just didn't like these tea arts, in his eyes, the tea was almost the same, except for bitterness or bitterness.
"This epidemic is far from being as difficult as we imagined, and there is a problem that has never come out of my mind since the day we set off, second, do you say that this time my father is really just to train us? How do I feel that my father wants to dominate us elsewhere, so that we don't know only things. ”
Hearing Lin Zhi's bold guess, Lin Ye was not surprised, he seemed to have thought of this a long time ago, "I didn't meet Qin Keke that day, I thought you didn't think of this layer." ”
"Are you really stupid to be your brother?"
"I've never been stupid for you, it's you yourself who have been pretending to be stupid in front of people. ”
In the face of Lin Ye's sharp shot, Lin Zhi smiled instead, the two brothers naturally knew each other very well.
"Then again, Father, I'm asking you to go back, I guess it's not about the Dragon Clan?"
Lin Ye gave Lin Zhi a rare look of approval, "Yes, you have been with me for a long time recently, and everyone has become smarter." ”
"I said can you talk well?!" Lin Zhi turned his head angrily, this dead boy didn't have a good word in his mouth.
"Okay, you're guessing exactly what I'm thinking, and we're on the same page at the moment. I'll find out when I get back, and maybe I'll be able to answer some of the questions we have in mind. ”
After Lin Ye finished speaking, his eyes instantly became deeper, and some things were clear at a glance, but in fact, what kind of secret was hidden underneath, he had a strong feeling in his heart, and when he went back this time, his father would definitely tell him some amazing things.
The two brothers muttered for a while, and when the night was approaching, Lin Zhicai remembered that it seemed that he hadn't seen Qin Keke and Mo Caicai for a whole day. "Second child, why is it so quiet today, can you see Caicai and Coco?"
"I haven't seen it. Lin Ye also thought at this time that when he passed by Mo Caicai's door this morning, there was no movement inside, and he thought that the two of them had gone out to play, so he didn't pay attention. "Not good. Lin Ye immediately stood up and walked quickly downstairs. Seeing this, Lin Zhi also hurriedly followed.
The two of them inquired downstairs, only to learn from the shopkeeper that the two girls sat at the table downstairs this morning and went out. They don't know exactly where to go. Lin Zhi subconsciously glanced at Lin Ye, who was standing restlessly next to him, "Second brother, let's not worry, if we go out for a walk, we should be back soon." ”
"Hmm. The words were agreed, but the actions were walking towards the door of the inn, Lin Ye was very uneasy in his heart, he wanted to go out to find it. Lin Zhi understood his worries, so he followed, "Let's look for it separately, it's limited to half an hour, and if we can't find it, we have to come back here and say something." I'll call Yuan Huan together. Lin Yetou nodded without replying.
After a period of time, Yuan Huan arrived at the inn first, and then Lin Zhi also walked in, and the two looked at each other, but they found nothing. At this time, Lin Ye also returned to the inn with an arrow step, and he looked at the two, "What's the matter?"
The two shook their heads at the same time, "I asked the neighbors at the entrance of Xijiekou, and they all said that I hadn't seen them. Yuan Huan took the lead in informing him of the results of his search, he went to the West Street Entrance, Lin Zhi went to the South Street, Lin Ye's footsteps were faster than the two of them, and he searched for North Street and East Street.
"Where I went, there was no sign of them. Lin Zhiyi sat on the stool, very defeated. He was so anxious that Qin Keke, where did the stinky girl die, if he caught her, he had to beat her.
At this time, Lin Ye also lowered his head, and he said dumbly: "I haven't found it either." ”
At this moment, the shopkeeper ran out of the back room, and only when he ran to Yuan Huan's side did he say cautiously: "Yuan Gongzi, there is a person who gives me a letter and asks me to hand it over to you." In fact, the man had confessed that he would hand it over to Lin Ye himself, but how dare he, from Lin Ye's aura as soon as he entered the door, he was scared half to death, and a chill emanated from his whole body. Looking at Lin Zhi again, there was also a chill all over his body. Only Yuan Huan is still that Yuan Huan, gentle as jade.
Yuan Huan took the letter, didn't open it first, but asked the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, may I ask you, who sent this letter? What does it look like? Don't be afraid, please rest assured." ”
The shopkeeper looked at the letter hesitantly, then at them, and thought carefully about the situation when he received the letter, "This letter was sent by a masked man, and when he sent the letter, he only told you to hand it over to you, and gave me a golden bean." With that, the shopkeeper took out the golden bean in his arms and showed them, and then he thought of something and continued: "Oh yes, yes, I also saw a masked man behind him. After the two of them had finished delivering the letter, they left without lingering. ”
Lin Zhi took the golden bean in his hand and looked left and right, the style was ordinary, nothing special. He asked Yuan Huan to open the letter and look at the content first. Yuan Huan first picked up the letter and looked it up and down, there was a string of addresses on the back of the letter, and then he opened the letter, only to look at it twice, his eyes widened, and he snorted angrily: "Hmph, it's just bold." ”
Lin Ye took the letter from his hand suddenly, and the moment he saw the contents of the letter, the chill on his face turned into killing intent. Lin Zhi saw the sudden change in the expressions of the two, and he felt bad, he also took the letter and looked at it, "What, is it Ji Wufeng!?"
"It's him, hehe, but he's not afraid of death. Lin Ye sneered, and his knuckles were so hard that he made a 'clatter' sound.
"Hmph, he's really messed with the wrong person. Lin Zhi's eyes also burst out with layers of killing intent, he knew the relationship between Qin Keke and Ji Wufeng, and he also knew that Ji Wufeng must have come for them if he caught Qin Keke and Mo Caicai this time. The letter said, 'I think you all know my relationship with Qin Keke, for the time being, they will not be harmed in any way, and I will definitely treat them with courtesy.' However, if they want to be safe, they need you to come to my place, and remember that I am only talking about the two of you, and not anyone else. If anything is out of the ordinary, don't blame me for giving you some special gifts first. Ji Wufeng'
It's a trivial matter to let the two of them meet, but they're still worried about what grievances they will receive. As soon as they thought of this, the hearts of the three of them were entangled.
"We can't mess around, I don't know much about Ji Wufeng, I only know that he is good at using poison, Caicai doesn't have to worry, she is not poisonous, I'm afraid that Coco will see the enemy and can't help but stimulate Ji Wufeng.." As soon as Lin Zhi said this, he couldn't sit still, if that person dared to touch a single hair of Cocoa, he would have to kill him and kill him again.
"Yes, don't worry, Miss Coco should be fine, I saw her that day, although her current physical condition is not as good as that of Miss Caicai, she can still withstand toxic and non-lethal drugs. Yuan Huan saw that Lin Zhi was a little short of time and space, and hurriedly comforted him. He can't go with them, but he has to do his part. He turned around and walked towards the Yuan Mansion, and took care of Lin Zhi and them to wait for him. At this time, Lin Zhi only kept persuading himself to calm down, Lin Ye was a little calmer than before, but the killing intent in his eyes was still not reduced by half a point. When Yuan Huan came again, he saw a box of pills in his hand, and all his brains fell on the table, "These are the antidotes that I have researched on a daily basis that can restrain all kinds of strange poisons, you might as well bring them all, and deal with them in a critical moment." ”
Seeing that Yuan Huan was so caring, Lin Zhi glanced at it gratefully, "If you thank you, leave the two of them back to talk, and we'll leave now." "Yes, he doesn't want to stay longer for a moment, he can't imagine what kind of treatment Qin Keke will suffer, and she is definitely not a person who can be offended. Lin Ye was silent after reading the letter, and until now, he only nodded to Yuan Huan. The pill was received by Lin Zhi in his arms, and the two of them no longer stayed, looking at the address attached to the letter and looking for it in the night. Only Yuan Huan was left in the inn, his expression was not as nervous as just now, but there was a murderous aura in his eyes that no one had ever seen.
