When Ouyang Zizhi arrived at Luoping Village, the first rays of dawn shone on the earth, and it was not difficult for her to travel hundreds of miles at night. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

As far as the eye can see, Luoping Village can already be described as deserted, with half-collapsed houses everywhere, and no one can be seen at all. If it weren't for some pigsty and sheepfolds and the like, I am afraid that I would not be able to see that there were people living here, and I would think that it was some ancient ruins.

The stench of feces hadn't completely dissipated, and even though there was a slight smell of blood in it, it was almost unpleasant.

After inspecting a few houses nearby, Ouyang Zizhi frowned, a little puzzled, so many people were attacked by the Mysterious Beast, and they didn't even have corpses left?

And judging from the surrounding situation, it seems that there is not too much bloodstain, so is the person dead, or is it ......

There were still many footprints left on the ground outside the house, but most of them were human footprints, but almost none were left by the footprints of the beasts.

Are the people sent by the lord of the country as stupid as pigs? Obviously not, so that means that the mysterious beast did not leave any traces at all, but the people who came here to check here left more traces.

"It's weird." Touching his chin, Ouyang Zizhi couldn't figure out what was going on with this so-called mysterious beast attacking the village. If it was done by the mysterious beast, then how did the news reach the imperial capital?

She didn't believe that a walking merchant happened to pass by that statement.

Thinking about it while walking, she actually walked to the most central position of Luoping Village, there are no houses here, only a deep well, even if it is already summer, the cold meaning in the well water still penetrates the heat, making Ouyang Zizhi feel a lot more comfortable.

The water in this well is definitely undrinkable, and I don't know if there have been any dead people in it, but this does not prevent Ouyang Zizhi from resting by the well.

"Huh."

There were originally a lot of dead branches and fallen leaves scattered on the side of the well, and in order to facilitate rest, Ouyang Zizhi swept them aside, and it was this unintentional move that made her find a trace of abnormality.

Forgetting that he wanted to rest, Ouyang Zizhi squatted down to the side of the well again, and his fingertips ran over an inconspicuous scratch on the wellhead.

This scratch was obviously not caused by a hard weapon, it should be the traces left by the claws of some kind of mysterious beast, the traces were not very deep, but each one was very clear, as if it had just been caused.

What's going on? Haven't it been days since the attack? And there are a lot of dead branches and leaves on the top of this scratch, how can it look so new?

Ouyang Zizhi had a guess in her heart, but she was not very sure, so she cleaned up all the other dead branches and fallen leaves by the well and piled them together. Then he bent down and groped with his hands inch by inch, his eyes were extremely serious.

Although this well was not very big, Ouyang Zizhi still spent a long time on it.

"Haha, that's true." Ouyang Zizhi was convinced that the emperor lived up to his wishes, and sure enough, she found a clue.

Now it seems that this Luoping Village was indeed attacked by mysterious beasts, but these mysterious beasts were all raised in captivity and were driven here by people. And these scratches on the edge of the well should have been caused by the thirsty beast after rushing and wanting to drink water.

And those people naturally didn't think that there was anything noteworthy about the beast's drinking water, so they left the traces.

As for the dead branches and leaves covering them, I'm afraid it is also the main reason why those people ignore the traces, otherwise how could they even clean up the footprints and leave the scratches of this mysterious beast?

"Looks like there's something around here that they wanted, so they lingered here afterwards." After Ouyang Zizhi found out about this, he had been very vigilant in case someone suddenly appeared.

This trace will not last more than a day at most, and it seems that I have come to the right place this time.

After discovering this, Ouyang Zizhi didn't feel tired anymore, so he simply found a big tree, turned over, and lay on the branch, thinking about various possibilities while waiting for night to fall.

Actually raising mysterious beasts to attack the village, it seems that those people's plans are not simple.

I thought I was out hunting, but I didn't expect it to be unintentionally solved. The expectation in my heart is getting stronger and stronger, as long as I am careful, I believe that there will be no danger, if you can find out the people behind the scenes, it must be a great sense of achievement.

"Lord."

The shadow guard didn't dare to look up, so he had to remind in a low voice that Yun Tianmo had been in a position for a long time, what kind of order made him hesitate so much.

For the voice of the shadow guard, Yun Tianmo turned a deaf ear and still stood still.

Unexpectedly, those people left traces like this, and when Ouyang Ziji's bad luck turned into good luck, she was actually discovered.

Even the people sent by Nangong Yao didn't find out, why was it her?

Alas.

Well, since she has been discovered, let her go.

He waved his hand at the shadow guards behind him, signaling them to follow their plan.

And Yun Tianmo himself disappeared from the study, and when he reappeared, he had already arrived in Luoping Village.

His plan can't be stopped, but it doesn't mean that he won't intervene personally, especially when this matter involves Ouyang Ziji.

There can be Ouyang Hao in his plan, but there can be no Ouyang Zixu.

According to the previous experience, as long as she intervened, the plan would definitely deviate from the original track and enter an inexplicable development trend.

"Why are you here?"

When Yun Tianmo, dressed in purple, appeared in front of Ouyang Ziji, she was almost shocked to drop her jaw.

He sneaked out of the house by himself, just to come to the expedition and hunt by the way, but why did he come too? Could it be that he was also interested in the attack of the mysterious beast on the village?

Thinking about it like this, she was relieved, plus she had already found some clues, so she immediately put away her surprise, revealing a proud expression, and said, "I have an important harvest, do you want to know?" ”

Looking at her smug little appearance, Yun Tianmo was almost happy, those so-called traces were just deliberately left by him, and he actually wanted to ask for credit in front of him, how could it not be funny?

Coughing lightly, Yun Tianmo suppressed the smile, glanced at her lightly, and said, "It's not a small courage." ”

knew why Ouyang Zizhi sneaked out of the imperial capital, but he still couldn't help but tease her, and then waved at her for the first time and let her follow him.

"I've never been too timid." Muttered, Ouyang Zizhi still decided to follow, after all, although she had found out, she didn't know how many people there were on the other side, what kind of strength it was, and it was safer to keep up.

"By the way, why are you here?"

Does this count as a failure to run away?

Ouyang Zixu suddenly felt that the whole person was not good, and looked at Yun Tianmo sadly, waiting for him to answer. (To be continued.) )
