Chapter 305: Guo Tong's questioning
The city lord's eyes were cracked, and the hands holding the jade pendant fragments trembled, and he didn't speak for a long time, just kept shaking.
Under such circumstances, Guo Tong didn't dare to speak, so he could only look down at the city lord and his hands that were slowly bleeding from the fragments of jade pendants with his head lowered and frightened.
After a long time, the lord of the castle finally moved.
"Check... Check it out for the old man... Be sure to catch the murderer of Xian'er, and the old man will break his body into ten thousand pieces..."The city lord said a word in a trembling tone, and then the more he spoke, the more fierce he became, and at the end he almost roared.
Guo Tong didn't dare to have the slightest objection, and quickly gathered the people according to the intention of the city lord, and quickly searched the direction where the young lady left and tracked them away.
He sent a message back to the city lord to report the progress along the way, and according to the city lord's wishes, he first targeted the young lady's ex-fiancΓ©...... Long Yuhan and the mother and son who left with him at the beginning.
It didn't take long for him to finally find out where the young lady had finally landed, but he couldn't find out where or how the young lady had an accident.
He just found the inn where the young lady used to stay, and after asking the young lady who had paid the fee to book a room, he followed Long Yuhan and his party to visit the night market, she brought all the guards and maids, but in the end none of them came back.
Guo Tong was shocked when he heard the words of the innkeeper and Xiao Er, he was almost sure that the death of the young lady was related to Long Yuhan and the others.
But he couldn't figure it out, how did the young lady die, she had so many guards around her, it stands to reason that something should not happen, even if it was Long Gongzi's own hands, he couldn't resist so many guards with one person, right? Although he is very strong, the young lady is very powerful, even if she really can't beat him, she should be able to escape completely with the delay of that group of guards.
But no matter how he investigated, he couldn't find the cause and location of the accident, and he couldn't even find the corpse, and the strangest thing was that if she, those guards and maids were all dead, it stands to reason that he could find so many corpses anyway, but no matter how he dug into the ground, he couldn't find the bodies of those guards, and even the bodies of the young lady...
Guo Tong was puzzled, and a strange guess suddenly flashed in his mind, didn't these guards die?
He was shocked and thought it was unlikely, if they hadn't died, then where would all the people go? Why didn't they go back to Yaocheng to report to the city lord when something happened to the young lady?
Thinking like this, Guo Tong's heart suddenly trembled, and he thought of a terrible guess that he couldn't believe.
Unless...... Unless all of these guards have betrayed the young lady, and then rolled up their baggage and fled......
Guo Tong thought of this possibility that made people chill from the bottom of his heart, and couldn't sit still anymore and wrote back to the city lord, telling him his own speculation.
And the city lord's reply was very simple, let him concentrate on finding the clues of Long Yuhan's people, and be sure to arrest them back, if they can't be captured alive, there will be no mercy...
As for the whereabouts of those guards and the body of the young lady, he will send someone else to find it.
So Guo Tong began a month-long tracking, at first he couldn't figure out where the other party's destination was, after all, their route was complicated and messy, he guessed several target cities, but the other party suddenly changed his route to another place he didn't guess at all.
The most astonishing thing was that he later discovered that most of the places they went to were not cities, but wild jungles, and even some dangerous forests that no warrior dared to set foot in.
Could it be that these people found out that they were following them, so they wanted to evade him at all costs?
Guo Tong just had this guess in his heart, and then he denied it.
No, it's not true... They shouldn't have known that they were following them now, and even if they did, they didn't know how many men and horses they had brought with them, wasn't the dangerous forest more dangerous than the guards of the City Lord's Mansion?
So why did the other party go to those dangerous corners instead of going to the safe and secure city? If they enter the city, and there are so many people in the city, wouldn't it be easier for them to disguise themselves and lurk inside?
Guo Tong couldn't figure this out, so he could only put it aside and catch the person first, anyway, as long as the person was caught, the truth of the riddle would be revealed.
However, it was indeed beyond his expectations to catch Long Gongzi and his party for such a long time, and he even had extreme admiration for the other party under this game of chasing me and hiding, the other party's intuition was very keen, and the five senses were relatively strong, and every time he was about to catch up, he took a step ahead of him and fled.
When he was in the City Lord's Mansion before, he had a slight impression of this Long Gongzi, not only because he was about to join the City Lord's Mansion and get married to the young lady, but also because the other party was a strong man, a strong man he admired.
The other party's fighting spirit level was the same as his, but he could obviously feel that the aura emanating from his body was much stronger than his own, if the two of them fought alone, he would definitely not be the opponent of the other party.
And that's why he brought so many guards, trying to take down the other party with a large number of people.
With the passage of time, Guo Tong has not been able to catch people, and Long Gongzi and the others have been changing the environment, and the terrain is full of dangerous places full of fierce beasts that eat people and do not spit out bones.
And it was only at this time that Guo Tong had a premonition that something bad was going to happen and discovered their intentions.
They are simply wandering around without a purpose, and the purpose of doing so is probably twofold, one is to avoid their pursuit; The second is to use this to enhance their strength...
Guo Tong thought of this possibility, and suddenly became vigilant in his heart.
Long Gongzi is already very powerful, if he is allowed to continue to grow and increase in strength during this period of time, he and so many people he brings with him are probably not his opponents...
Guo Tong thought of this possibility, and he didn't dare to be careless and waste time, once the other party was given enough time to strengthen his strength, the difficulty of completing the task assigned by the city lord would increase a lot.
Guo Tong searched for the whereabouts of the other party more carefully and carefully, not letting go of the slightest clue, chasing non-stop, and finally let him find the traces of their stay again today, and he didn't dare to waste time anymore, he didn't even have time to rest, only let a group of guards chase after him and gnaw dry food.
And this time, he finally got something, and judging by the traces they left behind, they still hadn't left long ago...
He endured the inexplicable excitement in his heart, this was the closest he had ever been to them, and it was very likely that he would be able to capture the people back today and complete the task of the city lord...
Guo Tong carefully observed the traces around him, and found no other traces, as if the other party had disappeared from the spot.
His gloomy brows furrowed, feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't think of a reason for a while, he just subconsciously felt that there was something wrong with this, and a bad premonition flashed in his heart, and a possibility flashed in his mind.
That thought flashed through him, and he didn't have time to grasp it, so he could only try to analyze the previous bad premonition, and at this moment, a deep male voice came from behind him.
"Guo Tong, long time no see."
He turned around suddenly, but saw that Long Yuhan was already standing behind him at some point, looking at him with his usual faceless and saying.
"Young Master Long? Guo Tong was shocked, when did he get behind him, why didn't he hear any movement? β¦
And what made him most wary was that he found that this man's strength had risen again, and his realm was now incomprehensible to him, and it seemed that his level was already higher than his own in the actual combat during this time.
This made Guo Tong's heart suddenly rise a pressure, accompanied by unwillingness and loss, obviously he was a martial artist of the same level before, but now the other party's strength has taken a step forward, but he has delayed his cultivation because of the task assigned by the city lord, and his strength is still hovering in place.
What he didn't know was that if Long Yuhan hadn't been committed to improving the strength of the mother and son during this time, and hadn't focused too much on his own cultivation, I'm afraid his grade would have been even higher than it is now.
Long Yuhan looked at him lightly, and said with a calm face: "What are you here for?" β
Guo Tong heard his question, saw his calm face, and then thought of the young lady who had died in Huangquan and now didn't even find the bones, and immediately became angry.
He tried his best to suppress the loss in his heart, and his bearded face showed a trace of ruthlessness, and said hatefully: "Young Master Long is really a noble person who forgets things, how can you not know why I came to you?" Won't you have a troubled conscience when Miss has a deep affection for you, but you kill her with other vixens? β¦β
Guo Tong admitted that he questioned this with a tentative element, after all, they couldn't confirm that Miss must have been killed by Long Yuhan, but it couldn't be denied that Miss would leave the City Lord's Mansion because of the cold-hearted man in front of her, and her death in Huangquan may not have nothing to do with him...
Long Yuhan's face did not change, and he replied lightly: "So you are here to kill me to avenge Lin Xianxian?" β
Guo Tongyan's eyes widened when he heard this, his eyes stared at him blood-red, and he asked in disbelief, "What do you mean, you admit that you killed Miss?" β¦ How can you be so ruthless, Miss loves you so much, but you ruined the marriage contract with Miss for a vixen who came out of nowhere, and finally broke Miss's heart and walked away, but in the end you didn't even let go of Miss's life, are you still not human? β¦β
Guo Tong is extremely heartbroken, Miss is also something he grew up watching, although he is not as loved by the city lord, but his feelings for her are not inferior to his own daughter.
