Chapter 167: Barren Mountain
In the middle of the night in the city of Tokyo, there was a sudden agitation, and soldiers armed with torches knocked on doors from house to house, pouring into people's houses and beginning to search through boxes and cabinets.
The people who woke up in their sleep didn't know what was going on, and they all dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak.
Until dawn, the young commander standing opposite the gate in the center of the city gate received replies from all sides: "Back to Major General Wu, the four streets of the east, west, south and north have all been searched, and no suspicious person has been found. ”
Wu Yuanzhou did not look back, and waved his hand to signal the soldiers behind him to retreat.
The depths of his eyes were full of doubts, what was the origin of the four people who kidnapped the green kite?
You must know that the city of Tokyo is not small and not to the point of being uncontrollable, there are four streets in the east, west, north and south, last night Helian Che has mobilized all the soldiers and generals of the city defense battalion, and one or two thousand people have carried out a carpet search in the city of Tokyo, and everyone follows the instructions given by Helian Che and does not let go of the slightest suspicious person.
A large group of thieves and robbers were found, but other than that, there was nothing to be found?
At first, Wu Yuanzhou suspected that the captors of the green kite might have left the city before the lockdown, but according to the guards guarding the gate, before the lockdown last night, not even a fly came to the city gate, let alone four big living people with a seriously injured woman.
If that's the case, things are tricky.
Could it be that it was the gods who kidnapped the green kite? Will you be invisible?
Wu Yuanzhou didn't believe it.
Turning his eyes, he asked the soldier who had just come and gone: "What is the news from Captain Helian?" ”
The general pondered for a moment and replied, "Major General Qiqi, my subordinates heard that Lord Helian personally searched from house to house all night without success, and now he has gone to the barren mountain north of the city. ”
"Barren Mountain?" Wu Yuanzhou was surprised, there are no two reasons, the reason why the barren mountain in the north of the city is deserted is because the terrain is steep and the back is a moat, and the vertical and towering cliffs like knives are directly inserted into the stormy waves of the Mian River, the largest river basin in the Western Dynasty, domineeringly separating Tokyo City from neighboring cities.
And because of the steep terrain, the mountain soil is thin, except for some tenacious half-human tall trees that can survive in a sick posture, there is basically no grass on the mountain.
Over time, the mountain became one of the most famous barren mountains in Tokyo.
Helian Che is now going there to search for the green kite, that kind of place that is clear at a glance, can it hide people? I'm afraid that I can't even hide a rabbit, so it can be seen that Helian Che has lost his mind anxiously, and he has no choice but to pin his last hope on such a ghost wolf land.
On the barren mountain, Helian Che had just received a response from his subordinates: "Lord Helian, the entire mountain has been checked, but nothing has been found. ”
Helian Che's face was gloomy, and he didn't respond at all, only the hands on the saber clenched tightly.
The huge Tokyo city has been searched over and over again, but he still found nothing, he doesn't believe that the green kite and the four people will disappear out of thin air.
So, what's missing?
There are many doubts.
At this moment, two figures, one large and one small, walked in front of them, the two of them were talking in a low voice with solemn expressions, suddenly raised their eyes, and saw that the mountain was full of soldiers and generals from afar, and suddenly their faces changed drastically, they looked at each other, and turned around sharply to go back, looking like they were thieves and afraid that they would not be able to escape.
"Wait!" Helian Che's eyes were sick, and he called out to the two of them in a cold voice, "Who are you?" ”
The two people, one big and one small, stood still, their backs stiffened, looking at the soldiers in front of them, the big woman's eyes rolled, and a plan floated in her heart.
He turned around with a smile: "This adult, my little brother and I don't know that you are working here, and we have no intention of breaking in, if you have any disturbances, please bear with me, let's go!" ”
After saying that, the little boy was about to leave.
"Miss Le?"
A question suddenly appeared behind him.
Le Ya's footsteps paused, the light in his eyes changed slightly, and then he turned back to look at the handsome man standing behind all the generals, stunned.
After pondering for a moment, he suddenly was shocked: "You, you are ...... Young Master Helian? ”
The little boy's face suddenly became fierce with Le Ya's exclamatory words, and a trace of viciousness quietly swept through his still immature eyes.
Le Ya, who reacted, smiled dryly: "What's the matter with Young Master Helian...... Removed the mask? ”
secretly patted Ye Cheng's arm, as if reminding.
After a moment of silence, Ye Cheng also restrained the deep hatred on his face, quickly pretended to have an innocent and innocent expression, and turned around and pretended to be surprised: "Brother Helian, it's really you!" ”
"Why are you here?" Helian Che had a suspicious look on his face.
Le Ya's face stiffened slightly, and she couldn't think of a decent reason for a while.
Ye Cheng was a clever man, and replied first: "It's not Le Ya yet!" It's not like to say that we have lived in Yu's house for so long, and if you don't take me out to hunt together, even if you can't hunt the big guy, you can add a meal or something, and say that you won't go back if you can't hunt a rabbit and half a bird, no, even lunch is ready. ”
Ye Cheng pouted and shook the food box in his hand, looking very unhappy.
Seeing that Le Ya next to her was simply speechless, she secretly sighed, this kid was really unambiguous when he lied, and even she had to believe it.
Helian Che looked at the two who did not carry animal trapping equipment such as bows and arrows hunting nets, and obviously did not believe this set of statements.
Ye Cheng said deliberately: "By the way, why are you here?" What about my sister? Wasn't last night your wedding party? You should spend more time with her! ”
Speaking of this, Le Ya hurriedly echoed: "Yes, Young Master Helian, I see you searching door to door, what is the important thing that happened?" ”
"Nothing!" Helian Che didn't intend to explain the disappearance of the blue kite to them, only with a cold face.
"That's it......" Le Ya nodded awkwardly, looked down at Ye Cheng, and raised his head again: "Since that's the case, we won't disturb Young Master Helian on official business!" Let's go first! ”
The two turned around.
Helian Che held his hand, stared at the two of them who were getting farther and farther away, and called in a deep voice: "Qingfeng! ”
Qingfeng, dressed in armor, walked out of the soldiers and stepped forward: "Master." ”
"Keep up with them and see what tricks they want to play! It's better to get some useful information from them. ”
Qingfeng was dazed: "Master, is this suspected that they robbed the green kite?" ”
Helian Che didn't say yes, his eyes were dark.
"But they are just helpless women and children, and it was four men who robbed the kite." This sentence seemed to excuse the two and remind Helian Che.
A sharp look pierced him.
Qingfeng had no choice but to be silent and responded with a sullen "yes".
The two people, one big and one small, walked quickly, looked at each other, and fell into memory.
Outside the lively Taishi Mansion on the top of Tokyo last night, the two sat on the corner of the street not far from the Taishi Mansion with their cheeks crossed, staring at the brilliant fireworks that exploded in the sky above the Taishi Mansion with a sigh of sorrow.
"Obviously, it's my sister who got married inside, but I can't go in to congratulate!" Ye Cheng pouted and complained, "It's all to blame Helian for talking!" If it weren't for the old thief who killed my Ye family, and now he is so powerful, why would the young master hide in Tibet, and he can't even attend his sister's wedding? ”
The words provoked Le Ya's eyes, and he poked his little head unceremoniously: "The little kid dares to call himself a master? You have to remember that from now on your sister will be the Lady of Helian Duwei, and you must always speak with her identity in mind. ”
Ye Cheng covered his eyebrows that were poked, and made a grimace with a long mouth.
At this moment, the fireworks ended, and scattered raindrops began to fall in the sky.
"It's raining?" Le Ya spread out her palms, looked at the black oppressive sky, and felt the raindrops fall.
Ye Cheng didn't care: "Isn't it raining?" Haven't you seen rain before? ”
Le Ya looked back, pursed her lips, and didn't intend to quarrel with this little broken child, but stretched out her hand that felt the rain to him: "Let's go!" It's time to go back, and Aunt Yu will have to worry about it later. ”
Just when Ye Cheng was about to give her his hand, he suddenly heard a strange voice - "Ah! ”
"Did you hear that?" Ye Cheng was surprised.
Le Ya wondered: "What did you hear?" ”
"Voice!" Ye Cheng replied very naturally, pricked up his ears to listen carefully, his heart suddenly chuckled, and he turned his eyes to Le Ya with difficulty: "It's the sound of murder." ”
It was precisely because Ye Cheng was used to making trouble, so Le Ya didn't take his words to heart, but instead smiled and asked very cooperatively: "What?" Ye Daxia, is this ready to punish evil and promote good? ”
"I'm not kidding you!" Ye Cheng was obviously angry, his eyes widened, he got up quickly, and shouted urgently through the deep high wall and deep courtyard: "Sister! Sister! ”
"Are you crazy? O little ancestor! Le Ya hurriedly covered the noisy little mouth.
Ye Cheng didn't follow, broke free of her hand, and glared at her angrily.
Le Ya was confused, but remembering that he was Qing Kite's younger brother, he had to persuade him bitterly: "Ye Cheng, your sister has no time to pay attention to you at this time!" Come back with me! ”
"Get out of the way! Sister is in danger! I'm going to save my sister! ”
Anyway, regardless of it, he opened his little short legs and was about to walk towards the gate of the Taishi Mansion.
"Huh? Ye Cheng! ”
Le Ya really can't take him, and is about to follow.
However, at this moment, several black shadows suddenly leaped down from the wall, light as a cat, hidden in the dark shadows.
Driven by curiosity, Le Ya leaned over to the cat.
I was going to find out, but I didn't expect that a woman in red in the dark drooped her head weakly and turned around slowly......
A face as white as paper and full of blood suddenly enlarged infinitely in the pupils?!
Le Ya froze, and a few seconds later, a sharp and piercing scream erupted in the dark alley: "Ah! Hell! ”
Ye Cheng's departing footsteps stopped, and he looked back at Le Ya, only to see that she looked like a ghost, her limbs were waving wildly uncoordinatedly, and she looked frightened.
Ye Cheng tried his sister first, and he didn't plan to pay attention to her, but he thought about it left and right, and finally felt that although this woman was a little stupid, she was still good to him.
Forget it, he went over with great mercy to see what was wrong with her.
