In fact, Ma Wenbing didn't know where to start, this is still a strange city for him, and he has been busy for the food competition for a while, and he has no time to play around the city.

"I don't know where to look for it, why don't we go buy a map first, and look everywhere in the capital, what do you think?"

Ma Wenbing's idea is equivalent to fishing in a big net, and there is no way to do it, he doesn't know how big the defense of the capital is, if the two of them look for it again, it will definitely not work in a month.

Just when Ma Wenbing and Tianxiang were about to buy a map, Master Li chased them out and told them good news.

The news brought out by Lord Li was that the emperor asked the officers and soldiers in the capital to help them find it together, so that there would be more people and more power, and if the two of them were still in the capital, they would definitely find out.

Hearing the news brought by Lord Li, Ma Wenbing and Tianxiang were very happy, so that they would not have to be at a loss.

"With the help of the officers and soldiers, we don't need to buy a map, right?" Tianxiang asked Ma Wenbing, buying a map is an option that has no choice, and now we don't have to use that option.

Ma Wenbing thought for a while and said, "I want to go back to the inn where we live first, we have known it since we came, you say it is impossible for them to go to that inn?"

Ma Wenbing is not very sure in his heart, just think that a blind cat can meet a dead mouse.

"You mean that, what's that called, by the way, it's called Kelai Xiang Inn?" Tianxiang thought for a while before remembering the name of the inn that Ma Wenbing said, who still remembers the name of the inn after so long.

"Yes, it's the Kelai Xiang Inn, let's go and have a look, anyway, we don't have a place to go now. Ma Wenbing replied.

Tianxiang said, "Yes, maybe they are waiting for us there, because we only know that place, anyway, let's go and see it." ”

Ma Wenbing and Tianxiang have decided, said goodbye to Master Li, and asked him to continue to pay attention to the palace, saying that there may not be any places that have not been found.

Master Li made a promise, he would help them continue to choose, this is also his responsibility, everyone in the palace must be aware of it.

Ma Wenbing and Tianxiang left the walls of the palace and walked towards the guest Xiang, because it was just a street, so it was very easy to find.

When he came to the Kelai Xiang Inn, the owner of the store greeted him warmly, because he knew that Ma Wenbing and Tianxiang had entered the finals of the food competition, and they were also the first place, which could bring good luck to his inn for him.

After he heard the news that Ma Wenbing won the first place, he originally wanted to think about how to use this to attract some business for the store, such as spending a lot of money to invite Ma Wenbing to come over and make an endorsement, but he didn't expect them to come so soon, isn't it just what he meant?

The shopkeeper shouted loudly, and everyone in the store knew about it, one passed on two, two passed on four, and it spread all at once.

Everyone gathered around, like Ma Wenbing and Tianxiang, the two of them were so remarkable, they were so enviable, and they all wanted to make friends with the two of them.

Ma Wenbing and Tianxiang had caused so much trouble, and they had just won the first place, but they didn't expect the store owner to know the news so quickly.

Ma Wenbing perfunctory these people, while looking for an opportunity to ask the shopkeeper if his master and sister Liu Ling'er had come.

The shopkeeper told him that they hadn't come back since they had gone to the competition.

Hearing the words of the shopkeeper, Ma Wenbing and Tianxiang were very disappointed, and finally got rid of those followers, left the inn together, and disappeared into the busy crowd.

There is no hope for the Kelai Xiang Inn, and it is confusing for Tianxiang and Ma Wenbing, because they don't know what to do next?

"Where to go?" Tianxiang asked, looking for it without a goal, why not wait for the results of those officers and soldiers to find out?

So Tianxiang said again, "I'd better wait, wait until those officers and soldiers can find it? It is impossible for the two of us to turn blindly without a goal, what do you say?"

Ma Wenbing thought about it, those officers and soldiers would definitely not be able to find it for a while, and waiting near the palace was not a solution, in that case, it was like ants on a hot pot, very anxious and uncomfortable.

Ma Wenbing shook his head and said, "I think the senior sister must have gone back, back to Shilong Town, there is no other possibility, and so is the master, I hope the two of them will go together." ”

"Shilong Town?" Tianxiang said, "Oh, I know, it's your hometown? I still don't understand, how could Liu Ling'er suddenly disappear? It's not like she was kidnapped by someone else, why is that?"

Tianxiang couldn't figure it out for a while, but Ma Wenbing knew the possible reason, that is, yesterday morning, in the courtyard, Ma Wenbing and Tianxiang were sweet, and they also said something they liked each other, they must have been seen by Liu Ling'er, and then she left secretly, there was almost no other explanation except this.

Ma Wenbing knew about this result, but he didn't tell Tianxiang, because he didn't know what would happen if he told Tianxiang, and he was afraid that the result was not something he could control.

"By the way, how have your mother-in-law and grandfather seen them? We haven't seen them since we entered the palace, should we go and see them first? And Grandpa Cui, who is not too young, still tied him up, or let them go?"

Speaking of her mother-in-law and grandfather, Tianxiang almost forgot about them, it really shouldn't be, I remember telling them that there was a secret passage underground, why didn't they come to look for it?

They didn't know that just yesterday, the lame grandfather and the blind mother-in-law slipped into the palace, and they also met with Liu Ling'er, but it was a pity that they went wrong with Tianxiang and Ma Wenbing, otherwise there would be no current thing.

"I don't know what's going on, when we entered the palace, I told them the exit of the underground tunnel, and they didn't come looking for us, is there something wrong?" replied Amaka.

Ma Wenbing thought that this must be possible, and he just came out to have a chance to take a look, and by the way, he also looked for Liu Linger and his master, which can be said to be a matter of killing three birds with one stone.

Ma Wenbing and Tianxiang discussed again, and then walked towards the old house of the blind mother-in-law and the lame grandfather.

The dim, damp and dilapidated alley once again appeared in front of Ma Wenbing and Tianxiang, this alley illustrates the longevity of the city, which is invisibly equivalent to a record book, recording the memory of the city's past.

The bluestone brick floor on the ground is dilapidated, it is difficult to find a complete bluestone brick slab, not only is it dilapidated, but also overgrown with moss and aquatic plants.

Ma Wenbing and Tianxiang walked cautiously, while preventing accidental slipping, they also observed the people in the alley, because they saw the thief monk and their group last time they came, and they didn't know if they were still there?

Ma Wenbing and Tianxiang didn't dare to be careless, at this critical time, they didn't want to give birth to something, fortunately they didn't meet those three people, and they quickly found the old house of the lame grandfather.

However, the gate of the yard was locked, and no one came out to open the door after a few shouts, and the lame grandfather and the blind mother-in-law must have gone out and were not at home.

"What if they're not at home?" asked Tianxiang, thinking to herself that something must have happened to the lame grandfather and the blind mother-in-law, no wonder they didn't look for it, they weren't at home, so where would they go?

If you want to know the answer, I'm afraid you have to go into the house to check it, but the door is locked, and you can't get in?

Ma Wenbing looked at the gate, this gate is made of black iron, and the two sides together are a gate, which is more than two meters high, and it is easy to turn over.

Ma Wenbing thought for a while and said, "I want to turn over, I'll go in alone to see what's going on, can you wait for me outside?"

Tianxiang looked up at the gate and asked in shock, "Do you want to turn over? No, don't flash to your waist, let's think of another way, right?"

Tianxiang is very worried that it doesn't matter if Ma Wenbing can't turn over, it won't be good if he hurts somewhere, she is not lying, because the top of the gate is full of pointed heads, and if you are not careful, you will be injured.

But these are not a problem for Ma Wenbing, he used to often sleep on the big tree, and he is very athletic in climbing trees, and it is easier to climb this iron gate.

Ma Wenbing said, "I can climb up, you can wait for me outside." ”

After Ma Wenbing finished speaking, he began to move, easily climbed to the top, and then easily crossed over, jumping directly on the ground, and even Tianxiang didn't have time to say "Be careful" and other words, Ma Wenbing fluently completed this set of actions.

Across the iron gate, Ma Wenbing said to Tianxiang, "You also have to pay attention to An, the thief monk, the thief Taoist and the thief nun may still be in this alley, you must pay attention to An." ”

Tianxiang wanted to tell Ma Wenbing to be careful, but Ma Wenbing always told him to be careful, hearing Ma Wenbing's words, Tianxiang nodded and said, "I know, you should also be careful, saying that there may not be anything strange in the house, you must come out safely." ”

Tianxiang looked at Ma Wenbing with a pair of big watery eyes, only Ma Wenbing is his closest person in this world, although she has a father, but that father is the same, and her best friend Liu Ling'er is gone.

Therefore, if Ma Wenbing is in any danger, she doesn't know if she can survive alone?

Ma Wenbing also understands the meaning of Tianxiang in seconds, in this world, now that the master and Liu Ling'er are gone, and only Tianxiang is left as a relative, so the feelings of the two people are the same.

Seeing the back of Ma Wenbing leaving, Tianxiang was faintly worried about him, nothing else, just worried that he was okay and didn't encounter danger, I don't know why, now Tianxiang is particularly worried, I haven't had such a worry before, maybe it's because I'm afraid of losing him.

Until Ma Wenbing opened the door and went in, disappeared into the dark room, Tianxiang couldn't see Ma Wenbing, this worry was extremely fierce, and she didn't even pay attention to her own danger, although she knew that she might run into thieves and monks at any time, but Tianxiang stayed where she was, and didn't look at what was behind her?

The last time Tianxiang came, he met that monk, and he was almost caught, so he had to take some bloodthirsty dragon, and chased him all the way to the capital, and they were not tired, they knew that the bloodthirsty dragon was swallowed by Ma Wenbing.

Let's say that Ma Wenbing pushed the door into the room, which was dim, strange and dark because it was too old, as if a distorted ghost was hidden in the darkness.

But Ma Wenbing is not afraid, in order to find Liu Ling'er, he can do anything, what is this black house?

However, Ma Wenbing thought about Tianxiang and was still waiting for him to go back outside, so he really couldn't die casually, in that case it would hurt Tianxiang.

Ma Wenbing's heart was chaotic, and he thought wildly, one will be Liu Ling'er, one will be Tianxiang, one will be Cui's father-in-law, and one will be the lame grandfather and the blind mother-in-law, will they still be in this house?

Passing through the aisle, Ma Wenbing quickly found the room, thinking that Grandpa Cui was still in the room, and Ma Wenbing was also in the mood to prepare, but when he arrived, the room was empty, and there was no one left.

Ma Wenbing then searched around the house, but found nothing, it seems that the blind mother-in-law, the lame grandfather and Grandpa Cui are no longer here, and they don't know where they are now.

Ma Wenbing didn't get any useful clues, so he could only come back, and seeing Ma Wenbing come out intact, Tianxiang finally breathed a sigh of relief outside, she was really anxious to wait.

Seeing Ma Wenbing come out alone, and there was no reaction on his face, Tianxiang naturally knew what the result was, there must be nothing in it, so there was no need to ask him.

Ma Wenbing climbed over the iron gate like a soldier, and then went outside, and let out a helpless sigh at the long alley, where should I go next?

This is a question that needs to be thought about, and now is the time to think about it.

Ma Wenbing and Tianxiang sat under a big tree, this big tree is extremely luxuriant, it is a hundreds of years old big sycamore book, the leaves are wide and fat, green, from a distance it looks like a green armor god, very mighty.

Under the plane tree, a half-meter-high fence made of cement is just enough for two people to sit for a while.
