Winter hangs high.

A drop of frosty water on the petals of a wild flower at the intersection fell into the dirt as if overwhelmed, splashing everywhere, and the white fog of the early morning was filled with all parts of Yanmen Village.

The place where the government is stationed.

The guest rooms on the second and third floors opened one after another, and one by one the sleepy-eyed officials yawned and walked out.

In the lobby, the four night watchmen also took advantage of this to hurry up and jump up like monkeys, and with a click, the door closed, followed by a snoring sound that shook the sky.

As a stronghold arranged by the government in the mountains all year round, there is naturally no shortage of food and meat, which is specially arranged by personnel to send up the mountain.

On the third floor, Li Xian sat cross-legged on the bed, his cold and hard cheeks were as firm as a rock, the long knife in front of him floated three inches above the ground, and the black dragon scale armor on the knife body flashed with demonic scarlet.

"Breathe-Breathe-Breathe"

The whale-like breath in front of the nose produces visible air currents that stir back and forth in the room, and the strange thing is that whenever it hits a wall or a door or window, the exhaled air in front collides with the inhaled air from behind, and finally disperses in mid-air.

At some point, my breathing gradually calmed down.

At the same time, with a tooth-aching creak, the door was pushed open and closed, and Li Zhao walked in quickly.

When Li Xian opened his eyes, he saw a trace of eagerness under Li Zhao's calm face, and couldn't help but smile and ask, "What's wrong?

"Xingshan is gone!"

Li Zhaodi's speech was a little hurried.

Hearing this, Li Xian couldn't help frowning and asked, "It's gone?" Did you go out early in the morning to investigate information?"

"It's impossible, when I found out that Xingshan was gone, I asked Ding Qing and Zhou Zhutou to go to the village to ask,

"Xingshan didn't appear anywhere in the village, he was gone!"

Li Zhao pulled a chair and sat down, shaking his head.

Li Xian's fingers tapped his knee, and after a long while, he raised his head slightly and asked, "Did you find anyone going out last night?"

It turned out that there was a very thin iron wire running through the left and right above the house, and a large blue-black python was lying on the iron wire, spitting snake letters. If someone who doesn't know sees it, they think that a blue-black stick is placed on the beam.

When the snake master heard Li Xian's question, he shook the snake's head.

"Is that so!?"

Last night, in addition to the four officials in the lobby who had been working in shifts to keep vigil, he also specially arranged for the snake master to keep an eye outside, this snake's hidden skills are no worse than him, and he is undoubtedly the best candidate for the dark whistle.

So what happened to Xingshan? Was he killed, or did he deliberately hide his figure and leave?

Li Xian can sense that this Xing Catcher is also in the unity realm, but he doesn't know how powerful his strength is, but if he can be the chief catcher of Wujun Mingjing Division, his strength should not be worse!

What the hell is Xingshan doing? He thought to himself.

"Dog, don't spread this matter first, you can't even tell that Wei Zhutou, let Ding Qing and Zhou Zhutou handle this matter well......"

Li Zhao nodded and said in a deep voice:

"Young master, don't worry, I arranged it as early as the first time, and the news of Xingshan's disappearance will definitely not be known to any superfluous people!"

"Okay, don't worry about this matter first, Xingshan is a person who has a lot of money and is extremely desperate for his life, the possibility of being killed is extremely low, if there is really a strong enemy, with his temperament, he will definitely find a way to let me know first. Li Xian was silent for a while and said slowly.

Gouzi's intelligence investigation of Xingshan has already been listed for several pages, not to mention that the two have dealt with each other many times, plus the contact in the past two days...... He also figured out a little about his personality characteristics.

Li Zhao said curiously: "Okay, what is the young master going to do next?"

"Find a horse!"

"Horses?"

Li Xian showed a mysterious smile on his face, winked at Li Zhao, and said, "Yes, find a crimson horse!"

"Then let's wander around the village and see if we can find anything. ”

Li Zhao shrugged his shoulders, looking like I wasn't curious at all.

He knew that if he continued to ask, the young master would definitely sell the pass and not tell him, but if he didn't look interested, the young master would take the initiative to tell himself.

Really......

"Well, look at it. Li Xian took out a picture scroll from under the quilt and threw it to Li Zhao.

Li Zhao stretched out his hand to take it, opened it and found that the picture scroll was painted with a young girl, looking forward to her life and full of heroism. He raised his eyes, glanced at Li Xian, and then looked at the girl in the painting, and the corners of his mouth grinned a shallow arc.

"It turns out that this is the person Zhang Xianzong wants the young master to find, does the young master know him?"

Li Xian frowned and looked at Li Zhao, he found that the dog was a little strange, but he still replied seriously: "There was a relationship. ”

"It seems that the young master means that if you find this horse, you can find this person. ”

"Hmm!"

After Li Xian finished speaking, he stared at Li Zhao twice, and asked strangely, "Hasn't the ingots come back yet?"

Li Zhao's mood improved inexplicably, and he smiled: "Hmm...... The young master can rest assured, the ingot's ability to escape is very powerful, and it should have been delayed by something. ”

Since the dog said so, Li Xian didn't continue to ask. After a brief freshening up, he took a long knife and went downstairs with Li Zhao.

In the lobby,

Several officials were drinking millet porridge, eating pickled buns with relish, when they heard the sound, they looked up and found that it was Li Xian who walked downstairs, and hurriedly wiped the residue on the corners of his mouth with his sleeves, got up and said:

"I've seen two or five hundred lords. ”

When Li Xian went downstairs, everyone saw Li Zhao behind Li Xian, and hurriedly bowed his head again and said, "I've seen Young Master Zhao." ”

Li Xian nodded, twisted his head and saw a familiar figure squatting at the door of the lobby, raised his feet and walked towards the person, while Li Zhao followed behind him.

"Oh my God, this two-five-hundred-hundred-hundred

"yes, I didn't feel much when I stood far away yesterday, but today I looked at it up close, it was really scary......" A famous official wiped the cold sweat from his face and said with palpitations.

The height of two meters and five is enough to be called a little giant, with a knotted muscles that bulge the armor to the brim, coupled with Li Xian's cold and hard cheeks, he looks unsmiling.

The psychological pressure brought to these officials who are at most one meter eight tall can be imagined, they are simply looking up at the mountains.

A famous official looked at the two of them who seemed to be walking towards the old man Wu who was squatting at the door, and said in a low voice and with a gloating smile, and said with disdain in his eyes: "Since that old man Wu came, he has become unsociable, and he doesn't know where to run all day long.

"I think this guy is going to be unlucky......"

Outside the entrance of the lobby, Old Man Wu squatted next to the door, holding a cigarette gun in his hand, the smoke from his mouth drifted into the distance along the cold wind, the cigarette holder was close to his lips, his old cheeks suddenly tightened together, and then suddenly spit out, the smoke covered his face so much that he couldn't see it really, and his complicated face and thoughts were hidden under it.

His face was red from the cold wind, but he didn't know what he was thinking, just squatting there and not knowing what he was thinking.

If you look at it a little, you can see that the old man has chosen a very clever position, the smoke from his mouth drifts away along the cold wind, and it will not blow into the lobby to cause unpleasantness, and even if someone wants to go out, it will not block or hinder others.

"Wu Lao ......"

A strange voice with a hint of familiarity sounded in his ears, and at the same moment, a large shadow shrouded Old Man Wu.

As soon as Old Man Wu looked up and saw Li Xian's gentle cheeks, his thoughts were interrupted, and he fell to the ground in fright. When he came back to his senses, he immediately stood up, and arched his hand very humbly: "I have seen two or five hundred masters, and I have seen Young Master Zhao." ”

Then he quietly pinched out the spark in the smoking gun, and the calloused hand made a slight sizzling sound with the spark.

The old man's every move naturally couldn't hide Li Xian's observations, in fact, he really wanted to say that he didn't have to be so polite to him, but these words were just thinking about it.

Identity, status, and strength are all like a gap between the two sides, even if he doesn't care about this trivial matter, there are always people who will try to please him.

So he didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble to the old man.

Li Xian asked curiously, "What is Old Wu thinking?"

"Didn't think about anything...... Haha, it's just an addict who comes to the door to smoke a few puffs. ”

The old man instinctively avoided and refused to answer, but when he raised his head to meet Li Xian's sharp eyes, his words had unconsciously become as loud as the sound of mosquitoes and flies.

"Elder Wu, I think you also know what happened in Yanmen Village, if you know any clues but don't report them, the consequences will be very serious......

"And you led the way this time, also so that your son's family can live in peace in Wujun, isn't it?

"But have you ever thought about it? If you notice something and don't tell us, if something happens afterwards, your life alone will not be enough. “

Li Xian half-squatted, his big hands on his knees, his eyes were a little indifferent, and there was a slight chill, just looking at this respectful old man.

He comforted him: "You can rest assured...... The Black Dragon Gang will definitely do what it promises you, not only for your son's family, but also for your grandchildren to go to school. ”

When Old Man Wu heard the first half of the sentence, he was suddenly scared into a cold sweat, and he wanted to avoid the general's sight, but somehow he couldn't move his head.

But even he didn't expect that when he heard the last sentence, it seemed to have a magical power to soothe his nervous beating heart.

Old man Wu subconsciously wanted to pick up the cigarette gun in his hand and take a big puff, but suddenly realized that the current situation was not suitable, and he wanted to hide behind him.

At this time, something that shocked him happened, a faint red flame appeared from the fingertips of this two or five hundred masters, and in the next moment, the tobacco in the smoking gun ignited.

"Let's smoke...... It's all right!" Gentle words came from my ears.

And where he couldn't perceive it, a mental power quietly blocked the left and right, ensuring that the conversation between the two would not be heard by the fourth person.

At this time, when Old Man Wu looked at Li Xian's cold cheeks again, he suddenly found that the general in front of him was not as difficult to contact and domineering as he imagined.

"Whew-"

Old man Wu closed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and thick smoke poured out of his nose and mouth. He looked at the two nobles standing in front of him and said seriously:

In fact, Xiao Lao'er didn't know about it and didn't report it, but because of this matter, even Xiao Lao'er himself was not very sure. ”

Li Xian asked, "What's the matter?"

Old man Wu thought about it, and his afterglow saw Li Zhao who was standing behind Li Xian all the time silent, and seemed to find his gaze, the cold one-eye looked at him, and a chill couldn't help but rise in his heart.

He hurriedly came back to his senses, looked at Li Xian and said, "As early as a month ago, I heard that Han Ming's son, Han Yi died!"

Li Xian pondered for a while, then suddenly came back to his senses, stared at Old Man Wu with blazing eyes, and said:

"Han Ming? The head of Yanmen Village?"

"Yes!"

Old man Wu replied first, and then continued: "When I heard Han Dashu say that Han Yi married at the entrance of the village yesterday, I couldn't believe it, but looking at Dashu's serious look, I began to wonder if this matter was true......

When he heard this, Li Xian couldn't help but think of the pretty face on the flower bridge, the pear blossoms brought rain, and his eyes were full of pathos.

The words in my ears continued:

"So last night's flowing water mat...... I went to a few acquaintances in Yanmen Village to ask about it, but they reprimanded me for talking nonsense, and I didn't know where I heard the news, which was completely out of nowhere. “

"At the time, I wondered if someone was really spreading the news, and then I was drunk by them, and I didn't know how I got back to the station.

But after waking up, Xiao Lao'er still felt that something was wrong...... Because this matter was not a trivial matter at the time, it was quite a big trouble, and the little old man was squatting here today thinking about this problem. ”

Li Xian asked, "You said they got you drunk?"

"Hmm!"

"Do you know how Han Yi died?"

Old Man Wu's eyes rolled, as if he was recalling what he had heard the news at that time, sorted out the thoughts in his mind, and said slowly and methodically:

"Sick and dead, the little old man has not come to Yanmen Village before, I have seen Han Yi this child a few times, his health has not been very good since he was a child, he has tuberculosis, and his body is not as good as day by day when he becomes an adult.

"The medicines I take every day are all kinds of precious medicinal materials, and later my family's savings can't support such consumption...... Han Ming came up with a way to sell the monkey wine. ”

"So this is the origin of monkey wine?" Hearing this, Li Xian thought to himself.

But in the end, this Yanmen Village is getting richer and richer, and all the people in the village are living a good life because of this, but Han Yi's condition has not improved, so Xiao Lao'er was not surprised at all when he heard that Han Yi died, because it was his blessing to live so long. ”

Once Old Man Wu let down his guard, the speed of his speech was very smooth and clear.

Li Xian thought for a moment, patted Old Man Wu's shoulder, and said softly, "Your news is very important to us...... These days, you stay at the camp and don't go out, and you will never break your promise afterwards. ”

Old man Wu hurriedly thanked him, then turned around and returned to the lobby directly, and went straight to a room in the corner of the second floor.

As soon as his mind moved, Li Xian withdrew the mental power around his body, turned to look at Li Zhao and said with a smile: "This trip is not in vain, I see that the next things should become more and more interesting." ”

He straightened up, the iron pieces on his armor made a slight crashing sound, and said, "Let's take a walk around the village first." ”

Li Zhao put away the thoughts in his heart, raised his head, nodded and smiled: "Hmm!"

The two began to wander around the village, talking as they went.

On the way, they also met Han Dashu, who met at the entrance of the village yesterday, holding a sickle in his right hand and a bamboo basket in his left hand, as if he was going to work in the farmland outside the village.

Seeing Li Xian and Li Zhao walking towards him, Han Dashu's face couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive, and he hurriedly put down the sickle and bamboo basket, and arched his hand:

"I've seen two or five hundred masters, and I've seen Young Master Zhao. ”

Han Dashu was not surprised to know Li Zhao, as the only remaining business network in the hands of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, Li Zhao had come to Yanmen Village once before, and he had personally met Han Ming and negotiated business with him.

"Are you going to the fields? It's going to be winter soon!" Li Zhao asked curiously.

You must know that the weather has become colder and colder, and the soil in the fields is even colder and stiffer, and often at this time, you rely on the food you usually save to prepare for the winter.

Hearing this, Han Dashu raised his eyebrows with some pride and said proudly:

"The two adults don't know ......"
