400, trace, loser

"I've seen the county lord." A moment later, a black-clad guard walked in and saluted.

Nangong Mo nodded, "Get up, let's talk about it and see if there are any clues." ”

The guard said: "Back to the county lord, my subordinates were ordered to search for the whereabouts of the little lady in the Xishan area, and found the jade pendant that the merchant boy was carrying at the intersection of the mountain. As he spoke, the guard presented a piece of jade pendant, and Nangong Mo took it and saw that it was indeed Shang Qiao's jade pendant. This was given by Nangong Mo on Shang Qiao's birthday last year, and Shang Qiao likes to carry it with him very often. Nangong Mo also remembered in a trance that when he went out today, he saw Shang Qiao carrying this jade pendant.

"What else is the clue?"

The guard said: "The subordinates followed the road where they found the jade pendant all the way into the mountain, and found the purse and the cloth of the corner of the clothes of the merchant prince along the way. However, there is a place that has been covered up, but it is still found that many people have stayed there, and there are still some blood stains on the ground. After that, there were no clues. Shang Gongzi will not run anywhere alone, and his subordinates guess that Shang Gongzi should have discovered the whereabouts of the little lady and followed him. It's a pity he was discovered. ”

Nangong Mo nodded, her guess was similar to him.

The guard continued: "The rest of the people have continued to look for the mountain, and the subordinates have been ordered to come back and pay their respects. Please show me the way. ”

Nangong Mo looked sideways at Qin Zixu and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Qin Zixu thought for a moment and said, "I don't know much about the people in the Water Pavilion, but according to the county lord's evaluation of the Water Pavilion and Nangong Huai's actions, I am afraid that there will not be much to gain if I chase after it." However, if you don't check, you're afraid that it won't work.

Nangong Mo nodded and sighed: "I'd rather miss it than let it go." ”

Qin Zixu said: "At this time, we can't let go of any clues. ”

Nangong Mo said: "Pass the order and continue to investigate according to this line." The rest still can't be relaxed. ”

"Yes, County Lord."

There was another rush of footsteps outside the door, Nangong Mo frowned slightly, and before the person outside the door stepped in, Nangong Mo opened his mouth and asked, "Second brother, what's the matter so late?" ”

It was Nangong Hui who came in, and Nangong Hui said in a deep voice: "I just received news that the county seat of Muxian County, not far from Chenzhou, has been attacked. The defenders of the city could not resist and sent people to call for help. ”

Nangong Mo lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Nangong Huai? ”

Nangong Hui nodded, his expression a little heavy. At this time in Chenzhou, no one dared to oppose them except Nangong Huai. And those people in the Water Pavilion have that ability, but they may not have the mind to march and arrange, and if they want to capture a city, it is not something that can be solved by being strong in martial arts.

Nangong Hui gritted his teeth and said, "I'll take someone to help." ”

"No." Qin Zixu said in a deep voice. Nangong Hui looked back at Qin Zixu, Qin Zixu said: "Nangong Huai will never have many soldiers and horses, and it is not beneficial for him to capture the city, why do you think he still does this, second son?" Don't he know that no matter how many cities he captures, as long as the Chenzhou army arrives, he can only bring about his own destruction. ”

Nangong Hui was stunned and said, "You mean he wants to transfer the tiger away from the mountain?" ”

Qin Zixu muttered: "It's possible, even if it's not him, he wants to disturb us, so that we can't search for the traces of the little lady and the people in the Water Pavilion on a large scale." I'm afraid that if you rush over now, you can only shop empty. Nangong Hui said: "Is it just so ignorant? "The two armies are now facing each other on the border of Chenzhou, although it has not affected the people of Chenzhou, but the uneasiness in the hearts of ordinary people is definitely there. If there is another incident where the cities are attacked one after another, even Nangong Huai is killing some more people. They ignore it, but it has a huge impact on the hearts of the people in Chenzhou.

Nangong Hui could think of things that Qin Zixu naturally wouldn't be unexpected, so Qin Zixu looked sideways at Nangong Mo, "What does the county lord think?" ”

Nangong Mo frowned and thought for a moment, before he said: "Nangong Huai will not come to move the Chenzhou Mansion at this time, he is not so bold." "If Nangong Huai had the determination not to be afraid of death, he would not have colluded with the Beiyuan people for a woman. Actually, it is better to say that it is for Qiao Feiyan than for Nangong Huai, in the final analysis, it is just that he is afraid of himself.

"What does the county lord mean?"

Nangong Mo said: "Chenzhou Mansion has me and Uncle Shi here, and there is Second Brother Lao in the outside affairs." ”

Being able to help the little sister, Nangong Hui is naturally happy. All along, it was actually the eldest brother and younger sister who were protecting him, but his useless younger brother and second brother couldn't do anything for their relatives. A little help now is enough to make him happy.

"Little sister, don't worry, I won't let Chenzhou mess up."

Nangong Mo smiled lightly: "Second brother, you must be careful, if Nangong Father encounters it, avoid it quickly, he will not show mercy to your subordinates." Nangong Hui is definitely not Nangong Huai's opponent. Hearing this, Nangong Hui's face also darkened, nodded and turned around and went out. Although he knew what Nangong Huai had done, although compared to Nangong Huai's father, Nangong Hui respected his brother who raised him since he was a child. But his father is his father in the end, he called Nangong Huai's father for more than ten years, but now he has come to the situation of father and son cannibalism, how can Nangong Hui not be sad?

Early the next morning, Nangong Mo had just gotten up and received the news. Traces of Nangong Huai and others were found near a mountain 100 miles away from Chenzhou, and it was obvious that these people planned to cross the mountain directly to the secluded place of the Li River and then cross the river by boat.

Receiving this news, Nangong Mo's heart also sank, the distance was too far, and it might not be too late to rush over now. And there are so many places along the Li River, who knows where Nangong Huai plans to cross the river from.

After looking for several thoughts in his mind, Nangong Mo raised his head and asked, "Are King Kang's soldiers and horses in the upper reaches of the Li River now?" ”

Qin Zixu was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "Prince Kang is now stationed in the upper reaches of the Li River with some soldiers and horses. However, there are not many people. "Compared with King Yan's domineering and King Ning's unruliness, King Kang is a person who is good at taoguang and obscurity. Even now that the situation is somewhat clear, King Kang has no intention of getting involved. just sent the prince who had a good relationship with Wei Junmo to come out with a small team of soldiers and horses, which meant to express his attitude to King Yan: I don't help Xiao Qianye fight with you, and I don't want to participate in the matter between you and Xiao Qianye. After that, you can do it without me.

Nangong Mo said: "Immediately send a message to King Kang and ask him to lead his troops down the river." No suspicious person should be let go along the way. ”

Qin Zixu nodded, and immediately turned around and went to do something.

"Star Danger."

Xingwei appeared at the door and said in a deep voice, "County Lord." ”

Seeing Xingwei, Nangong Mo couldn't help but think of Liu Han. After a pause, he sighed lightly and asked, "How is Liu Han?" Xingwei said: "The body has been sealed with ice, and I will bury it after I find the little lady." "The little lady was lost in Liu Han's hands, presumably Liu Han is also willing to see the little lady return safely.

Nangong Mo nodded slightly and said, "Do you think, is this news true or false?" ”

Xing Wei pondered for a moment and said, "My subordinates think that seventy percent of them are likely to be fake. ”

Nangong Mo also smiled a little helplessly, "I think so too." Now I know why Gong Yuchen wanted Nangong Huai to come over. "If it's just those masters of the Water Pavilion, unless Gong Yuchen comes over in person, they can at least guess the other party's intentions and intentions. But there is one more Nangong Huai, although Nangong Mo looks down on Nangong Huai's personality, he doesn't dare to underestimate his ability. To be honest, Nangong Huai's thoughts she couldn't even guess thirty percent.

"There is still no news at the checkpoints in various places?"

Xingwei nodded and didn't speak.

Nangong Mo nodded and said, "You go, if you have any news, come and tell me again." ”

"Yes, the subordinates retired."

Watching Xingwei go out, Nangong Mo raised his head and leaned against the back of the chair behind him and let out a long sigh, revealing a trace of exhaustion and helplessness on his beautiful face. But soon, these feelings disappeared without a trace, and Nangong Mo, who reopened his eyes, only had calm and firmness in his eyes.

In Chenzhou Mansion, Nangong Mo and others had a hard time. Elsewhere, Nangong Huai and others are not having a good time. The search of the Chenzhou army was very strict, not to mention some small towns and towns, and even some small villages they did not dare to approach lightly. Along the way, you can only choose the most secluded and uninhabited places, and during the day, you can't even make a fire to cook, you can only eat the dry food you carry with you. It was this kind of caution that allowed them to escape the search of wave after wave of Chenzhou army.

Sitting in Shang Qiao's arms, he frowned aggrievedly as he looked at the hard dry food in his hand. Shang Qiao was also very helpless, and touched her little face distressedly, and turned her head to the person next to her: "I can't eat this." "It's not a picky eater, where can a three-year-old child's little teeth bite this kind of thing that even his cheeks hurt faintly when he eats.

The man in black sitting on the side raised his eyebrows and said lightly, "There is nothing else." "Who knew that the kidnappers still needed to prepare suitable affairs for the hostages in advance.

"If you don't want the little girl to suffer, you'd better pray that the blockade of the Lord of Star City is not so strict, so that we can go out early. As long as she leaves Chenzhou, there is no problem with whatever the little girl wants to eat. ”

Shang Qiao's face was slightly gloomy, and he patted the little doll in his arms and said, "Do you want to die hungry?" ”

The man in black frowned, sank for a moment and instructed his subordinates beside him, "Go and see if there are any wild fruits or anything like that nearby." ”

The two men in black nodded, got up and disappeared into the woods.

Shang Qiao glanced at everyone vigilantly, Nangong Huai disappeared yesterday afternoon and never came back. But now there are still more than a dozen black-clothed people looking at them, and each of them has a much higher martial arts than him.

As if knowing what Shang Qiao was thinking, the man in black said lightly: "Boy, don't play tricks if you know each other, you are still tender." If you dare to make trouble, I will break your limbs and throw them in this mountain, and you won't care what happens to this little girl at that time. ”

Shang Qiao glanced at him coldly, lowered his head and looked at Xiao Xiao without speaking.

After more than a day, I am not as energetic as I was at the beginning. Nested in Shang Qiao's arms, he was a little wilted, and Shang Qiao, who saw it, was distressed, and hated these people in Shuige even more in his heart.

When the man in black who left found a few small wild fruits and came back, Nangong Huai also came back with people. Compared with Nangong Huai when he left, Nangong Huai at this time was indeed full of blood and murderous aura, obviously after a bloody battle. Throwing the wild fruit into Shang Qiao's arms, the man in black asked, "Duke Chu Guo, what's wrong?" ”

Nangong Huai sneered and said, "Prince Kang led his troops to block the Lijiang River. ”

"Even King Kang has thrown himself into King Yan, it seems that Xiao Qianye is really exhausted." The black-clothed man is humane, but what Xiao Qianye does has nothing to do with them, the most important thing now is, "What should we do now?" Nangong Huai disagreed, "Have you prepared everything before?" ”

The man in black nodded, "Naturally, it was prepared in advance." ”

Nangong Huai nodded with satisfaction, "Then, just follow the previous plan." I want to see how capable Nangong Mo is to find us. ”

The man in black raised his eyebrows and smiled, and said, "Sure enough, it is still the Duke of Chu who is resourceful. Nangong Huai sneered and said: "Where can I compare to your pavilion master, the old man can't figure it out, what's the use of Gong Yuchen asking for a little girl?" Did he really think that if he caught a little girl, he would be able to make Wei Junmo and Nangong Mo ask for him? ”

The man in black said lightly: "Pity the hearts of parents in the world." ”

In this regard, Nangong Huai scoffed, "If you stay in Yundu, where will Yundu be broken so easily?" ”

The man in black said: "Even if the Duke of Chu stays in Yundu, Yundu will be broken sooner or later." What difference is a few days earlier and a few days later? With this little girl, the more chips the pavilion master has, the better chance we have of winning, right? ”

"I hope so." Nangong Huai disagreed.

Within a day, traces of Nangong Huai and others suddenly appeared in several places in Chenzhou. But when the people of the Chenzhou Army arrived, they found that those people were indeed good people from the Water Pavilion, but the two children who were taken were neither Shang Qiao nor young. It's just Nangong's nostalgia and suspicion. There are still a lot of such people popping up in a steady stream, even if they know that they are fake, the Chenzhou Army still can't help but check. Because, it's hard to guess if the next one will be true.

At this time, in the Chenzhou military camp under Qingyun Mountain, a guest came.

King Ning rushed into the battle with people with an impatient face, "Who is so blind?" I don't know if this king is busy now" In the big tent, a slender and tall man in green clothes turned around, his handsome face was as cold as frost, and he glanced at King Ning calmly. The words that King Ning hadn't finished speaking were suddenly deflated. Looking at the person in front of him, thinking that his mood must not be very good, so he was rarely polite, "It's you, why did you come here when you came back, won't you go to Chenzhou to take a look?" ”

Wei Junmo said: "There is no need for Chenzhou to be flawless. ”

His Royal Highness King Ning smacked his tongue, your daughter was abducted. Your wife still doesn't know how to be haggard in a hurry, and you can still be an old god. That noisy little girl can't really be picked up by you, right?

"What are you doing here? I'm busy right now. "Since yesterday, Yuan Chun has been going crazy, so that Lin Changfeng and Xiao Qianjiong, who were supposed to go back to Chenzhou, can't leave.

Wei Junmo lowered his eyes and said, "Give me 50,000 soldiers and horses, Taining Wei." ”

"Huh?" It's nothing for Wei Junmo to use soldiers and horses, but how do you think the Chenzhou army is more comfortable than Taining Wei, right?

"What do you want to do?"

Wei Junmo raised his hand and gently swiped the map hanging on the wall, and said lightly: "From here, 50,000 cavalry here are fortified, patrolling back and forth without interruption. Trespassers, no mercy! ”

"Okay, I got it. That noisy little girl is really your own daughter.

Looking at Wei Gongzi's murderous aura, His Royal Highness King Ning trembled, and waved his hand generously to show that he was approved. Isn't it 50,000 cavalry? This king is rich and rich, no problem.

Wei Junmo nodded, and swept his head sideways to the other side. His Royal Highness King Ning found Xiao Qianjiong squatting on the side without any sense of zài. Xiao Qianjiong was swept away by his gaze, and immediately jumped up, "I know, cousin, you are worried." I promise I won't let people run over with them. ”

Wei Junmo looked away at this time, Xiao Qianjiong breathed a sigh of relief and rushed out quickly.

"Lin Changfeng."

"Yes." Lin Changfeng, who came in from outside the door, did not have the lazy smile on his face, and there was a trace of sharpness between his handsome eyebrows.

Wei Junmo said: "Within half a month, if there is still no news of his death. Send someone to kill Nianyuan, Gong Xiaodie and Xiao Qianshuo. ”

"Huh?"

The two people in the big tent were stunned, "Is there anything to do with these three people?" Also Who is Xiao Qianshuo? ”

Wei Junmo was silent, and His Royal Highness King Ning coughed lightly and said, "When this king didn't ask." ”

Lin Changfeng didn't ask much, and nodded to indicate that he knew. Although he couldn't fully understand, since Wei Junmo pointed out these three people at this time, it was obvious that these three people had a very important relationship with Gong Yuchen.

King Ning raised his eyebrows and asked, "Nianyuan, that monk has something to do with the Water Pavilion?" "King Ning is actually no stranger to the Water Pavilion, and the people of the Water Pavilion have also secretly contacted him at the beginning. However, His Royal Highness King Ning didn't take them seriously at all. He doesn't want to be the emperor, he is a dignified and noble prince of the town, so he needs to cooperate with a group of people in the rivers and lakes, "You and the third brother tolerate that guy so much, there should be some handle in the hands of others, right?" Is it really okay to kill Nianyuan like this? ”

Wei Junmo sneered, "You think it's easy to kill Nianyuan?" "Even if Nian Yuan has no power to restrain the chicken, it's not just anyone who can kill him.

"Then you are"

Wei Junmo said lightly: "Even if you can't kill him for the time being, it's still okay to send someone to assassinate him three or five times a day." ”

"Normal people are going crazy in this rhythm. Being assassinated three or five times a day by the people of Zixiao Palace, those who are a little weaker can't help but go find a rope to hang themselves, right?

Of course, Gong Yuchen will not be the one who will be forced to hang.

Lin Changfeng took the order, and King Ning sighed and asked, "What are you going to do next?" Are you going to find Xiao Yao? ”

Wei Junmo said indifferently: "Solve Yuanchun first, you have been delaying for too long." “

His Royal Highness King Ning is jumping violently, what am I for? How many soldiers and horses did you lose in a hard confrontation with Yuan Chun, you are a loser!

T
