Chapter 187: Female Assassin
On the streets of Naqian Mocheng, there are many merchants from the Western Regions who lead camels.
The head of the golden catcher led Li Maicheng and they shuttled through the street, and Li Maicheng said as he walked: "Head of the golden catcher, has there ever been a boy missing?"
Jin Zhutou shook his head and replied: "No, it has always been a girl who has been missing for more than ten years." ”
Li Maicheng sighed: "That's weird, then it's sure that these little girls should be abducted by a group of people, and they should be locked up in secret places." ”
Jin Zhutou nodded and said, "Maicheng, what you analyzed is that there is such a possibility. Do you need me to take you to visit the family of the lost girl? There are more than a dozen families like that. ”
Li Maicheng sighed: "No need, I already know something, the rest of the people, you send the arrest to investigate, write a missing directory for me, I live in the Yanmo Inn." ”
Jin Zhutou nodded and said, "Okay, Brother Maicheng, then I'll go back to the Spiegel Division." ”
Li Maicheng said: "Okay, Jin Zhutou will say goodbye and see you back." ”
Then Jin Zhutou left, while Li Maicheng, Bai Ruoxue, Zhou Xiaotian, and Su Chengxuan wandered aimlessly on the street.
Zhou Xiaotian said as he walked: "Senior brother, what should we do now, how to check." ”
Li Maicheng sighed and said, "Hey, I don't have a clue, let's find a mutton basin restaurant first, let's have some food first." ”
Zhou Xiaotian nodded and said, "Okay, senior brother." ”
Then they walked down the street, past the pavilions, and then found a mutton basin restaurant.
Li Maicheng sat down in the mutton basin and asked for four bowls of mutton basin, two catties of beef, and a pot of wine, and then after a while, Xiao Er brought the mutton basin up.
Li Maicheng was eating, when Lin Feiting and Lin Youxue came. The two of them entered the store and sat down, Li Maicheng saw it, greeted him and said, "Youxue, Feiting, you two are here, sit down quickly." ”
Then Youxue and Feiting also sat down, and Li Maicheng ordered two more bowls of mutton bowls, and added a small fried pork from the farmhouse, and a large plate of chicken.
After ordering the meal, Li Maicheng said to Youxue: "Youxue, what are you two doing?"
Youxue replied: "Brother Maicheng, my sister and I are going to wander around the city, going to buy some rouge gouache, some clothes, shoes and whatever, and some fruit by the way." ”
Li Maicheng said: "Okay, then after you buy it, are you going to go back?"
Yuxue replied, "No, my sister and I are going to stay in this city for a few more days." ”
Li Maicheng scratched his head and said, "Okay, by the way, what is your aunt's family doing?"
Youxue replied: "Her family runs a silk shop." ”
When Bai Ruoxue heard this, she said excitedly: "Youxue, which shop is it, I want to go and see, I still want to buy a few clothes." ”
Youxue shook her head and said, "Ruoxue, the clothes in my aunt's silk shop are not good, and you are not suitable for wearing them." ”
Bai Ruoxue sighed: "Okay, forget it." ”
They ate the meal in the mutton basin restaurant, and after eating, Lin Youxue and Lin Feiting said goodbye and left, while Li Maicheng and Bai Ruoxue returned to the Yanmo Inn.
In that guest room, Li Maicheng was drinking, and he said to Bai Ruoxue: "Ruoxue, from your perspective as a woman, you analyze the disappearance of these girls. ”
Bai Ruoxue thought for a while, scratched her head and said, "Maicheng, in my opinion, those girls may have been sold to other places, or where the village can't marry a daughter-in-law, they have been sold as child daughters-in-law." Or they were sold to the green house. ”
Li Maicheng said: "Ruoxue, you are analyzing."
It's untenable, if it's really sold here, Lord Liu, they have been investigating for more than ten years, and they will always find clues all over this Qianmo City, as well as nearby villages, but there are still no clues, I'm afraid things are not as simple as they think. ”
Bai Ruoxue said: "Okay, let's just wait a little longer to see if there are any other useful clues." ”
Li Maicheng continued to drink sullen wine, while drinking, while melancholy, Bai Ruoxue saw him sullen and said, "Maicheng, what's wrong, see you're unhappy?"
Li Maicheng sighed and said: "Hey, this way to the west, I found that the people of the Western Regions are really miserable, there is a shortage of water, there are insect plagues, there are some who can't eat, and some are captured by monsters to do coolies, and now this is another case of missing girls." It's really a sigh, the people of the Western Regions are really miserable. ”
Bai Ruoxue nodded and said: "Yes, Maicheng, what you said is very right, I feel that the people of my Han Dynasty are living well, and the people of the Western Regions are living in dire straits, and there are so many demons and monsters, we have fought monsters all the way." ”
Li Maicheng sighed: "Yes, it's not easy to think about it, forget it, I want to sleep for a while, I'm a little dizzy from drinking, I'll lie on the bed and sleep for a while." ”
Bai Ruoxue nodded and said, "Okay." ”
Then Li Maicheng went to bed.
And Bai Ruoxue went out of the room and went to Jin Xiqing's room to find her. Bai Ruoxue came to Jin Xiqing's room, and she said to Jin Xiqing: "Xiqing, what are you doing in the house?"
Jin Xiqing replied: "It's nothing, so I put on makeup and look at the bronze mirror." ”
Bai Ruoxue said: "Okay, how have you been doing with Chengxuan recently?"
Jin Xiqing sighed: "Hey, it's still the same, there is no progress, Chengxuan is still thinking about his ex-wife Lin Yixue in his heart." ”
Bai Ruoxue sighed: "Yes, Xiqing, I feel that you are so bitter, no one hurts, and the people you like don't like you, it's really sad." ”
Jin Xiqing sighed: "Yes, I also thought about giving up, but when I thought of Chengxuan and didn't talk about it, I felt that I still had a chance." Just wait for him, care more about him, maybe we will become lovers in the future. ”
Bai Ruoxue said: "Okay, then you can rest well, I'll go back to the room." ”
Jin Xiqing nodded and said, "Okay, Ruoxue." ”
Then Bai Ruoxue went back to her room and saw that Li Maicheng was sleeping, so she didn't disturb him, and she went to bed.
They fell asleep like that, from afternoon to dusk, and then all night, and the next day, Li Maicheng slowly woke up.
When he awoke, he got dressed, washed his face, and opened the window to look out, when he saw a lot of soldiers in heavy armor passing through the street.
Seeing this, Li Maicheng felt very abnormal, and he immediately woke up Bai Ruoxue, Bai Ruoxue got dressed, and said, "Maicheng, what's wrong, I feel that your expression is wrong." ”
Li Maicheng replied: "Ruoxue, I feel that there was an accident in Qianmo City last night, and there are a lot more soldiers on the street today. ”
Bai Ruoxue said: "Okay then." ”
After Bai Ruoxue got up, she washed her face, and then dressed up, at this time, someone came to call the door, only to hear outside the door, Su Chengxuan shouted: "Senior brother, it's not good, something happened in Qianmo City, and the golden catcher of the Spiegel Division came to the inn and said let's go over to help." ”
Li Maicheng replied: "Okay, I know, we are here." ”
Then Li Maicheng and Bai Ruoxue went downstairs and went to the first floor of the inn, at this time Jin Zhutou said anxiously: "Brother Maicheng, it's not good, something big happened in the palace." ”
Li Maicheng said: "Jin Zhutou, what happened?"
Jin Zhutou replied: "Maicheng, I met an assassin in the palace last night, a yak spirit brought a dozen female assassins, flew off the wall, and killed in the palace, King Mo's arm was cut off by those assassins, but fortunately he escaped to the tunnel, only to escape a catastrophe, King Mo is now angry, let the Spiegel Division investigate the case within three days, if it can't be found, Lord Liu's black gauze hat will not be guaranteed, we will be dismissed if we catch quickly, you can help us think of a way." ”
Li Maicheng said: "Okay, did you catch a live female assassin at the scene?" ”
Jin Zhutou said: "Last night was a chaos, the palace guards also died a lot, the assassins who were hacked to death were carried away by those assassins at that time, the only thing that can be determined is that those are female assassins, and they are all skilled, and the yak spirit is not masked." ”
Li Maicheng scratched his head and said, "Okay, I know." Then let's go to the palace and take a good look at the scene, are there any clues left?"
Jin Zhutou said: "Yes, but it is the inside of the palace, the sleeping palace of the Desert King, and we have not been allowed to go in and investigate." ”
Li Maicheng said: "Okay, I know." Then the case is in trouble. ”
Jin Zhutou said: "Maicheng, you take a few people with me to the Spiegel Division, and we will talk slowly." ”
Li Maicheng nodded and said, "Okay, Jin Zhutou." ”
Then Li Maicheng called Zhou Xiaotian, Bai Ruoxue, and Su Chengxuan, and the four of them followed Jin Zhutou to the Ming Spiegel Division.
They walked through the pavilions and finally came to the Spiegel Division in the north of the city, and when they came to the Spiegel Division, Jin Zhutou poured a cup of tea for Li Maicheng and each of them.
Li Maicheng scratched his head, thought for a while, and said, "Jin Zhutou, do you think that someone will abduct the little girls in the city and then train them to be assassins, so that the case of those girls' disappearance can be explained clearly." ”
Jin Zhutou thought about it for a while, and found that what Li Maicheng said made some sense, so he said: "Maicheng, what you said still has some truth, maybe those missing girls were trained to be assassins." ”
Li Maicheng said: "Yes, then do you know, where are yaks often haunted by yaks in the desert city of this desert city?"
Jin Zhutou thought for a while and said: "Maicheng, I thought of it, there are many yaks in Niuxing Mountain outside the city. ”
Li Maicheng said: "Okay, then let's go to Niuxing Mountain now and investigate." ”
Jin Zhutou nodded and said, "Okay, Maicheng." ”
Then Li Maicheng, Jin Zhutou, Bai Ruoxue and the five of them rode to Niuxing Mountain outside the city. They rode out of the city, and then walked through the continuous Gobi Desert, and walked for two hours before they reached the foot of Niuxing Mountain.
Looking from the foot of the mountain, I saw that there were indeed many yaks on the mountain, and many yaks were grazing. Then Li Maicheng dismounted, and he struck the ground with the Shadow Sword.
After a while, the mountain god came out, and saw that the mountain god was full of white hair and a long white beard, and he took a walking stick, and he said, "What are you doing, several donors?"
Li Maicheng said: "Mountain God, do you know if there is a yak essence in this Niu Xing Mountain?"
The mountain god stroked his beard and said, "Donor, yes, it's in the demon cave halfway up the mountain." ”
Li Maicheng said: "Okay, thank you." ”
Then the mountain god turned into a wisp of white smoke and disappeared.
At this time, Li Maicheng said to Jin Zhutou: "Jin Zhutou, there is a demon cave on the mountainside, it seems that we will find it soon." ”
Jin Zhutou said excitedly: "Yes, Maicheng." ”
Li Maicheng said: "Everyone rest at the foot of this mountain for a while and drink some water." ”
Zhou Xiaotian nodded and said, "Okay, senior brother." ”
Then they rested at the foot of the hill and drank water.
