Chapter 27: The Missing Girl (6)
"So, this old city lord of Ningcheng joined the army after graduating from a special military academy, and won the reward of the territory for his fruitful military exploits, and became the city lord of Ningcheng?" Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
"Before, I had only heard that this old city lord joined the army at the age of twenty and guarded the frontier. It wasn't until he was fifty years old that he was rewarded for his military exploits, and he didn't get married until he settled in Ningcheng, and now this young city lord is also his only son, and he also loves his son very much. β
"It's not surprising, he's old anyway. Dongfang Ye smiled.
To be able to go from an orphan in a slum to his current position step by step, how can ordinary people experience the sweat and hard work they have paid?
Since Zang Qihan remembers, he grew up listening to his father's heroic deeds, and the more he understands his father, the more he admires his father. In Zang Qihan's eyes, there is no one in this world who is greater than his father.
For the sake of his father, Zang Qihan is willing to do anything.
"It's inconvenient to tell me who you think the murderer is?" Pei Jia'er sat across the dining table from Tuoba Lin and asked with a curious expression.
Tuoba Lin smiled, "Then what do you think?"
"Nine times out of ten, this matter has something to do with this young city lord, but what does he want so many girls for?" Although Pei Jia'er guessed who the murderer was, she couldn't guess the other party's purpose.
"Now, Pei Jia'er, what is the only constant truth in this world?"
"Irreversible time?"
Tuoba Lin smiled and nodded, "That's right, we all know that the Creator Devoured Time to officially end the Chaos Era and open a new era. Since the first year of the era, the people who have survived have not been disturbed by the timeline, and from that time on, only time cannot be controlled. As a result, the lifelines of all races have returned to normal, and no matter who they are, they have to experience life and death. It is because we know that everyone will inevitably die, so everyone is really afraid of death, especially when watching themselves get older day by day, no one knows if they will be wiped out in the next second. β
Fear of death, isn't itβ
"Do you suspect that you want so many young girls, hoping to prevent your own death through these young girls?"
"After the old city lord of Ningcheng was sick in bed two years ago, Ningcheng began to have a series of missing girls, isn't it too coincidental at this point in time?"
"The selection criteria for the missing girl are whether they are healthy or not, and this old city lord is not quoting the girl's blood? "Why would anyone be so naΓ―ve? If death could have been avoided through the blood of a young girl, the world would not be like this long ago.
"Maybe it's a rumor he's heard about somewhere. In addition, Tuoba Lin can't think of a second reason, many people can't officially look at death.
"Mo, you said that this person has experienced so many ups and downs, what wind and waves have not been seen, is he really afraid of life and death?" Hearing from Mo's mouth that this old city lord was probably sucking the blood of the girl, Dongfang Ye also couldn't believe it.
"Heh," Xuanyuan Mo smiled helplessly, "Maybe it's because he's seen too much death with his own eyes that he is more afraid of death than ordinary people." As soon as he walked into this castle, the sensitive Xuanyuan Mo smelled blood, but Xuanyuan Mo did not smell the smell of blood on Zang Qihan's body.
If it weren't for Zang Qihan, it could only be the old city lord Zang Weimin who was recuperating in this castle!
"But a human is more dependent on the taste of blood than a blood clan, so can he still be called a human?" Dongfang Ye frowned.
For the old city lord Zang Weimin, he has no need to eat blood at all, but the desire to survive makes him greedy for blood, what a terrifying change!
"When he sucked the first mouthful of blood, he became a monster. No normal human being needs blood!" After Xuanyuan Mo sucked blood for the first time, he knew that he could not escape the fate of being discriminated against and disliked.
Monster, cheap, there is nothing wrong with these adjectives being applied to him.
"Then this young city lord should know. "If, in order to satisfy the old city lord's desire to pursue immortality, he acquiesced to the fact that the old city lord Zang Weimin sucked blood, then Zang Qihan would have become an accomplice completely.
"It's impossible for him not to know about such a big thing. And Zang Weimin is already old and old, as an ordinary person, he can't kidnap others at all, the only reasonable explanation is that Zang Qihan knew about this from the beginning, and has been endlessly fulfilling his father's wishes. β
His filial piety really doesn't dare to compliment. Dongfang Ye couldn't understand why Zang Qihan did this, and even he could touch his bottom line again and again for his father.
"Since you have already guessed the murderer and the purpose, what are you going to do? Patriarch Tuoba?" Pei Jia'er wanted to know Tuoba Lin's choice.
"Since what we are doing is against the principles of heaven, we naturally can't let it go, and once this matter is pierced or leaked, it will definitely cause an uproar. "What the old city lord Zang Weimin did was to change his life against the sky, which was undoubtedly a taboo. This kind of thing must be dealt with quietly.
"Even if you want to get rid of the old city lord quietly, you don't know where he is in the castle. β
"Not necessarily," Tuoba Lin smiled confidently, "Before, I said that I would walk around the castle casually, but this Zang Qihan was not panicked at all. By being prepared, he must have placed his father in the place where he was most at ease, that is, where he could monitor at all times. β
"Where can you be monitored at any time?" Pei Jia'er suddenly realized, "It's a special study room for his office!"
"While it's time for dinner, I'll leave this task to Xuanyuan Mo. He should be able to find out where the secret door is, and with the fact that he has a reputation for being unwell now, he will be more efficient in carrying out his tasks than we are. "As soon as he opened this matter, Tuoba Lin planned to hand it over to Xuanyuan Mo, anyway, he couldn't find a more suitable person than Xuanyuan Mo now.
Along the way, it was the first time Pei Jia'er had seen Tuoba Lin hand over the task to their hunters. The last time I assisted Tuoba Jiang, I made a lot of money, not to mention that this time it was Tuoba Lin. This time, Xuanyuan Mo can be regarded as picking up a big bargain, this person must be very valuable. (To be continued.) )
