Half a month later.

On the official road outside the north gate of Anding City, a group of people appeared. There were quite a few people, all of them riding tall horses with knives at their waists. Despite the dust, it is still difficult to hide the iron-blooded aura of these people.

Among these people, there was an extraordinarily wide carriage, which was pulled by four large horses, and it was extremely smooth.

As soon as these people appeared, someone on the gate of Anding City immediately ran down and rushed to a tea stall by the city gate.

At the tea stall, there are many people sitting, all of them locals. In the corner, there is also a pair of grandchildren, the grandfather is telling stories, and the ordinary-looking granddaughter is holding the pipa, and from time to time she plays a melody that is not very brilliant.

However, at this time, the people in this tea stall did not pay much attention to listen to the performance of the grandfather and grandson, and most of the tea customers' attention was on the table facing the street.

At that table, there were three people.

Among the three, there is a middle-aged man dressed in fine clothes, although his appearance is ordinary, but he has a noble body, and at first glance he knows that he is not an ordinary person; there is a handsome young man, with sparse eyebrows, a brocade dress, holding a folding fan, and a graceful and graceful figure; and there is also a woman with a tulle face, dressed in white, with silver hairpins and hairpins, and a graceful figure, which attracts people's attention.

The three of them had been sitting at the tea stall for at least half an hour. Among them, the woman had never spoken, and she was holding a teacup in her jade hand, playing with it casually, her eyes fixed on the brown tea in it, not knowing what she was thinking. The other two would occasionally say a few words, but not much. The young man, from time to time, would look at the woman opposite, especially the full chest that bulged high.

At this time, a man who looked like a butler rushed over from the city gate, ran into the tea stall, walked straight to the middle-aged man at the table, bowed to his ear, and whispered, "My lord, they are here." ”

The middle-aged man's expression moved, then he looked at the other two, smiled slightly, and said, "Let's go, go and greet them." "With that, take the lead in getting up.

The young man laughed and said, "It's time to greet you." As he spoke, he got up.

The woman on the other side didn't move.

"Isn't the picturesque girl going?" the young man frowned slightly when he saw that the woman didn't mean to get up, and wondered.

The woman looked up at him and replied, "I'm afraid it's not suitable for me, I'm a woman." I'd better go to Qinghe Tower and wait for you. ”

The young man was stunned.

"Since the picturesque girl doesn't want to go, then she won't be reluctant. Wu Gongzi, let's go. The middle-aged man interjected.

Wu Gongzi didn't say anything more, and followed the middle-aged man to quickly leave the investigation and go out of the city.

After they left, the woman, whom Wu Gongzi called the picturesque girl, also got up and left the tea stall. The white figure soon disappeared into the flow of people coming and going on Changping Street.

Outside the north city gate, Shen Wei and his party were almost at the city gate.

Shen Wei, who was sitting on the wheel, waved his hand and called Shen Qi, who was riding a horse next to him, and asked, "Is Xiao Jiu back?"

Shen Qi replied: "Not yet." ”

After hearing this, Shen Wei thought for a while, and then ordered: "Lin Xuan and the two of them should also enter the city later, you pay attention and see which inn they live in." If there's a problem, you can help solve it, but it's best not to let them know. ”

Shen Qi hurriedly nodded in response.

At this time, a man at the head of the team turned his horse and walked to the carriage: "General, Lord Yu Fucheng seems to be standing at the gate of the city." ”

When Shen Wei heard this, he frowned slightly, and then replied lightly: "I know." ”

It didn't take much effort for the group to arrive at the gate of the North City. Yu Fucheng, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, took the young Wu Gongzi to meet him, Shen Wei also jumped down from the carriage, and after a polite smile, the group went to the city under the guidance of Yu Fucheng.

Shen Qi quietly left the team and stayed at the city gate.

Not long after, a young man in a strong suit followed a few ordinary people who entered the city and appeared at the gate of the city.

When Shen Qi, who was in the corner on the side, saw it, he immediately shouted: "Xiao Jiu." ”

As soon as the young man heard the voice, he immediately walked over when he turned around and found Shen Qi.

"Brother Qi, why are you here?" Xiao Jiu asked suspiciously.

Shen Qi smiled and said, "Wait for you." By the way, what about those two people? They don't go into the city?"

After Xiao Jiu heard this, he immediately lowered his head and said ashamedly: "I'm sorry, Brother Qi, I lost it." ”

"Lost?" Shen Qi's eyes widened in surprise. If you talk about fighting alone, Xiao Jiu's ability can only be in the middle of the army at most. But if you talk about light work, if you hide your whereabouts, this Xiao Jiu can definitely rank in the top three. In the past few years that he has followed the general, he has followed the mission dozens of times, and this is the first time he has missed.

Shen Qi was extremely surprised, frowned and asked him, "What's the matter?"

Xiao Jiu lowered his head, didn't dare to look at Shen Qi, and replied: "It has always been good, but half an hour ago, the two of them suddenly accelerated, I tried my best to chase it, but I still didn't catch up, and then I lost it." However, they also came in the direction of Ding'an City. I just searched around the mountains and forests near Ding'an City, but I didn't find any trace of them, so it is possible that they have already entered the city first. ”

"One step into the city first?" Shen Qi heard this, and then thought of Shen Wei's command just now, and couldn't help but feel bitter. It seems that Lin Xuan has made up his mind and doesn't want to be found by them again.

After smiling bitterly, Shen Qi raised his hand and patted Xiao Jiu on the shoulder, and said with relief: "Okay, don't blame yourself, it's normal for you to lose it, then Lin Gongzi is a master who can go to the Yuangou camp alone to rescue the eldest young master." Let's go, let's go into town. ”

Xiao Jiu snorted, and his mood was still a little low.

Shen Qi smiled, turned around and walked towards the city.

Changping Street, Fun Tea Building.

On the second floor, in a window seat, a man and a woman sit. The man was tall and thin, with a mediocre appearance, and carried a short knife, which rested on the table at hand. The girl opposite is not very old, with a delicate and lovely face, fair and delicate skin.

"Brother Muzhi, what is that?" Qingguo, dressed in green clothes, leaned against the window and pointed to something in front of a shop across the street.

Shen Muzhi poked his head over and looked in the direction of her finger.

A white-clothed figure walked past the door of the shop, covering his face with tulle and curling his figure. A green silk hair, up to the waist, with only a simple and elegant silver hairpin on the head.

Shen Muzhi's gaze was attracted as soon as he touched the silver hairpin.

The style of the silver hairpin is extremely simple, and it is estimated that among the shops selling women's jewelry on this long street, there can be many similar ones if you walk around. But it was such a silver hairpin, but it made Shen Muzhi suddenly change color.

Qingguo immediately sensed that something was wrong with Shen Muzhi, turned his head to look at his gloomy face, and asked cautiously, "Brother Muzhi, what's wrong with you?"

Before Shen Muzhi could answer, the woman in white on the street noticed something and turned her head to look upstairs.

Shen Muzhi couldn't dodge, and after the two of them touched their eyes, Shen Muzhi's heart was shocked, and the guess that was still a little hesitant in his heart was suddenly confirmed.

It's really her!

On the street, after the woman in white glanced at him, she immediately withdrew her gaze, her originally scattered steps sped up a little, and soon turned into an alley and disappeared from Shen Muzhi's sight.

Shen Muzhi sat back in his seat, staring at the teacup on the table, his face gloomy and solemn.

As soon as the eldest brother arrived in Ding'an City, this woman appeared here, is it really just a coincidence?

"Brother Muzhi, who was that woman just now?" Qingguo's voice sounded on the other side, pulling Shen Muzhi out of his contemplation.

Shen Muzhi reasoned his thoughts and told Qingguo: "A bad person. ”

After hearing this, Qingguo blinked her eyes and suddenly asked, "Why don't I go along and take a look?"

"No, I don't. Shen Muzhi refused without hesitation.

The woman who looked exactly like Ru Picturesque was not an ordinary person, but a disciple of Yun Ze Sect, and he didn't know what the realm was, but she was definitely better than him. Moreover, this woman will also have those vicious and vicious methods. Qingguo is simple, he doesn't want her to take risks.

Seeing his refusal, Qingguo pouted slightly, then turned his head and continued to look at the people on the street.

Shen Muzhi sat there, his face gloomy, thinking about countermeasures.

He was sure that this 'picturesque' must have come for the eldest brother. He didn't know what the relationship between the eldest brother and this 'picturesque' was, and he didn't know if the eldest brother knew what role this 'picturesque' played in the original incident, but in any case, this woman's appearance here was a threat to the eldest brother. Even if the eldest brother already knows the true face of this woman, if this woman wants to forcibly kill her, my father and those under him may not be able to stop it!

After thinking for a moment, Shen Muzhi gritted his teeth and made a decision.

"Qingguo, let's go. After shouting Qingguo, Shen Muzhi took the short knife on the table, and then left the Quming Building with Qingguo.

It's not hard to inquire where the eldest brother and his group went. Shen Muzhi took Qingguo without much effort, and found the place where Shen Wei and his party stayed.

It is a house in the south of the city, and the owner of the house should be Zhizhou Yu Fucheng.

When Shen Muzhi arrived, the door of the house was open, and there were two generals with knives guarding the door.

Shen Muzhi walked directly towards the gate, and when the two generals saw it, they immediately pressed the handle of the knife on their waist and became vigilant.

"Who?" said one of them before he could get closer.

Shen Muzhi took Qingguo, stopped, arched his hand, and said, "In Xia Lin Xuan, come to find General Shen." ”

"What General Shen! We don't have any generals here, you're in the wrong place!" the general glanced at him and scolded impatiently.

Shen Muzhi frowned, and began to think in his heart, do you want to climb over the wall to find someone?

At this moment, two more people walked towards this side.

After one of them saw Shen Muzhi and the others at the door, he immediately stepped forward quickly, and without waiting to get closer, he shouted, "Young Master Lin, why are you here?"

Shen Muzhi turned around and saw Shen Qi, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

He was followed by a young man with a somewhat thin build. After seeing him, the man's face became a little complicated, and his curiosity was mixed with a little resentment.

"Qingguo girl, I haven't seen her for many days, but she is getting more and more beautiful. Shen Qi walked up to him and praised Qingguo with a smile. Qingguo immediately blushed and bowed his knees in shame.

"Brother Shen came just in time, I have something to see your general, please help me report it." Shen Mu was anxious in his heart, and he didn't want to say too much to greet, so he said straight to the point.

After Shen Qi heard this, he laughed and said: "What is Lin Gongzi talking about, my general has already been talking all the way to see you, this time you come to find it in person, and tell you something! Go, I'll take you in!"

Seeing this, the general who drove Shen Muzhi before hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.

Shen Qi glared and shouted, "What are you doing!"

At this time, another general, probably finally came back to his senses, and hurriedly pulled this family general away, and hurriedly apologized to Shen Qi and Shen Muzhi, and welcomed the four of them in.
