Chapter 41: The True Murderer Appears
For three days in a row, there was no disappearance of people in Loess City, and the people were happy to say that the arrival of Lord Ling had made the troublemakers flee in fear. In the City Lord's Mansion, Ling Haifeng listened to his subordinates' reports on the investigation in the past few days, and his brows tightened. Ling Haifeng knew that this troubled thing was in the city, but he couldn't find it, the enemy was in the dark, he was in the light, how to find it? Ling Haifeng was also nerve-wracking.
It was another night, Ling Haifeng was lying on the bed thinking, the opponent was obviously very cunning, not afraid of him, afraid of a big conspiracy. "Who is this haunting person?" Ling Haifeng believed that this incident must be man-made by a high-level martial artist, and he didn't believe in any ghosts and gods.
In the city lord's study, a dark shadow quietly appeared in front of the city lord. "You... Why did you come out, in case you were discovered by Lord Ling~" The black shadow was the one with blood-colored pupils, and he interrupted the city lord's words, "Since I dare to come out, I am not afraid of being discovered by him." I'm here to tell you that at midnight in three days, I will deliberately be discovered by Ling Haifeng and lure him to the south of the city, where I have laid a trap on the buns, and you have to trick Ling Haifeng into it, so that no matter how powerful he is, he will not be able to escape. After saying that, the person still shook his hand, and he looked like he was winning.
The city lord looked at him with a complicated expression. "Why, scared?" the man taunted at the city lord, "don't forget what happened to your wife and daughter, unless you want to be like them." With that, the man turned into a black mist and disappeared. After a long time, the city lord sat down on his chair and closed his eyes.
Early in the morning, Ling Haifeng was drinking tea when he saw the city lord walking in with a book. "Is there any new clue to come to me so early?" Ling Haifeng asked after taking a sip of tea. "If you have any clues, you have to rely on Lord Ling. The city lord laughed. "My lord, I usually like to read some biographies of the mountains, and the day before yesterday I suddenly saw that this book recorded some code words that use scratches to convey news, and I want to ask my lord, why I have never heard of it in all these years as an official. When Ling Haifeng heard this, he laughed, "These are all used in the war, because they are secret and not easy to crack, so at that time, our shadows used this method to transmit military information, but now they don't need it, because my heavenly kingdom is not something that anyone can bully." "I see. The lord said.
"Yes, my kingdom of heaven was established at the beginning of the rise of the dynasty, when the world was still very chaotic, the founding lord only led ten people, a little, a small place to lay down this kingdom, this code word was also invented by the lord of the country later, my father was fortunate to teach me a little when he was alive, and the right to learn to please his old man. Lin Haifeng said with a smile. "I've always had this doubt, and today I finally untied the knot in my heart. "My lord, the lower official suddenly remembered that there was still a little more matter, so he retired first. The lord of the city stood up and took his leave. "Okay, let me know as soon as there is any recent news. "Yes, my lord!" the city lord left Ling Haifeng's residence.
The city lord left Ling Haifeng and returned to the study as soon as possible, he sat on the chair and inhaled heavily, and the whole person seemed to collapse. After a while, he slowly picked up a book from the shelf, and there was a letter in it: "Husband......"
"The lord of the city is in such a hurry that he has forgotten all the books. Ling Haifeng saw the book on the table, picked it up and flipped through it casually, "If there are a few more such people in my country, why worry about not building an imperial dynasty." Ling Haifeng looked at it and was also attracted by the notes in it. While he was flipping through the pages, he suddenly found that there were faint scratches on the pages of this book, and he didn't care about it at first, but when he turned the pages for three pages, there were scratches on the pages again, and Ling Haifeng turned three pages in a row, and there were scratches on the pages. "This is ......," Ling Haifeng hurriedly recalled the method his father had taught him to recognize the scratch codeword.
Since the last time the city lord left Ling Haifeng's place, the city lord has been locking himself in the study for two days, and Ling Haifeng also drinks tea every day and listens to his subordinates' reports. The difference is that one of his men hasn't seen him for two days.
"My lord, someone is missing again. "The city lord's mansion has come down to report. Ling Haifeng hurriedly got up, and after waiting for so many days, the troublemaker finally couldn't help it. "Let's go" Ling Haifeng hurriedly led his men out of the door. "Lord Ling, Xiaguan has just received the news, I will go with you. "It was the city lord who had locked himself in the study for a few days that caught up with Ling Haifeng. "Okay, let's go together and see who it is. Ling Haifeng rode a horse, and the group rushed towards the south of the city. According to the tip, the missing people were found in the south of the city.
There are no more people in the south of the city, only empty shops and residences, so you can imagine the situation in the Loess City. Ling Haifeng and his party came here and began to ask his subordinates to search this place to find the missing people.
"Let's go, we'll go too. Ling Haifeng dismounted, and the city lord and Ling Haifeng's men followed. "Be careful, sir. Ling Haifeng's subordinates said solemnly. "Do you feel it too?" Ling Haifeng said, looking around. "Is this looming aura deliberately luring us over to make a decision?" Ling Haifeng took out his sword and carefully searched the nearby houses.
I searched several rooms in a row, but there was no one. The rest of his subordinates also came to report that there was no one, and Ling Haifeng sneered and said, "It seems that he is playing hide and seek with us! Ling Haifeng asked his men to search elsewhere, and walked to the door of the bun shop by himself to prepare to enter.
"My lord, you've been searching for so long, so I'd better come. The city lord didn't wait for Ling Haifeng to speak at this time, so he pushed open the door and walked into the bun shop.
"Be careful!" As soon as the door opened, Ling Haifeng felt a huge killing intent that made him feel terrified. "It's a good thing for me!" At the same time as the voice came out, the city lord also flew out of the bun shop, and the black gas on his chest was spreading all over his body. "Demon cultivator?" Ling Haifeng was shocked. He was lucky, and with a sword, he split the bun.
"Ling Haifeng, it's your fate, this waste is actually bad for me. One man rushed out of the bun shop and rushed out of the city. "Where to go. Ling Haifeng's speed was no slower than him, and he immediately chased after him. "Demon Xiu, I will kill you today. Ling Haifeng caught up with this figure, this person had blood-colored pupils, two gloves and sharp claws, and fought with Ling Haifeng.
"You think you can catch me with your acquired Yae. This person laughed and grabbed Ling Haifeng. Soon, his smile turned to fear. With one palm, Ling Haifeng knocked him away, and then, Ling Haifeng's sword pierced through his shoulder.
"The day after tomorrow, ninefold!" the man shouted. It's a pity that Ling Haifeng's sword has already come, even if he dodges quickly, he was injured by Ling Haifeng in several places. "You forced me!" The man's hands turned into chains and wrapped around Ling Haifeng. "What? You can actually use the exercises. Ling Haifeng was taken aback, if you are not congenital, the person after tomorrow will use moves, and the exercises, only the innate martial artist can use his own true yuan to cooperate with the cheats to achieve the effect of moving mountains and reclamation. This person used qi to transform objects the day after tomorrow, how could he not surprise Ling Haifeng.
"When the old man was rampant, you didn't know where it was!" the man sneered, and attacked Ling Haifeng with the conjured iron chain.
With a "whoosh", an iron arrow pierced the man's chest. On the city wall in the distance, a man with a big bow in one hand mounted another arrow, and standing beside him was Ling Haifeng's subordinates who had not been seen for many days.
