Understaffed!

A big reason why Zuo Yan has a headache is that there are only eight people available in his hands, and if he is given fifty such fierce parts in the Yuan family's mansion, not to mention the secret death, it is ten secret deaths, and he will have nowhere to eat, and he will return with a feather.

"Lang Jun, if I had noticed the existence of the dark one day earlier, those sixteen slaves should have stayed to guard the periphery of Jingyuan, and now I can only set up a line of defense, or around your bedroom, I am a little worried......"

"What's not to worry about? At the beginning of Jinling, there were only you and me, didn't you still let the dark man be seriously injured and flee in the wilderness? ”

"It's different! That time it wasn't for Lang Jun who noticed his evil intentions first, who won and who lost, it's really hard to estimate! ”

Xu You smiled: "Remember what I said to Qi Yi?" ”

Zuo Yan shook his head suspiciously.

"Destiny, on your and my side!"

Zuo Yan opened his mouth wide, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"If the destiny of heaven is not in me, yesterday at the foot of that mountain, I would have died!"

Zuo Yan's heart trembled, and he hurriedly said: "No, even if you do it, you may not be able to succeed......"

Xu You sighed: "Since you went up the mountain to save people, we have actually fallen into the trap of darkness. As long as I hold the big hat in my hand and put it on for her personally, even if my cultivation is still there, I will never be able to stop her fatal blow. The time when I came to Qiantang in the dark should not be too short, and I have done a thorough and detailed investigation of my personality, temperament and style of doing things, knowing that I am a good person and nosy, so I have prescribed the right medicine and approached me as a victim. ”

Zuo Yan was worried and said, "Secretly Yao is so preoccupied, she is hiding in the dark again...... Lang Jun, we must increase manpower and take precautions carefully, otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

"There are only a thousand days to be a thief, there is no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days, the more people there are, it seems to be strict, but in fact, the bigger the flaws, do you dare to guarantee that the dark will not be mixed with the slaves and mixed into the Jingyuan?"

"This ......"

Zuo Yan said distressedly: "But you can't do nothing, waiting for her to assassinate!" ”

"Don't rush, calm down. Since the dark Yao has appeared, it shows that her patience has also reached the extreme, whoever loses patience first at the moment will lose the opportunity, remove Wu Shan and them tonight, just loose on the outside and tight on the inside, don't look like a great enemy, if she is spied on, wouldn't it be in her arms? ”

Zuo Yan understood and said, "Lang Jun wants to sing the empty city plan?" ”

The empty city plan is not an invention of Zhuge Liang, and it is recorded in the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms" that when Cao Cao and Lu Bu clashed, there were no more than 1,000 soldiers.

Xu You chuckled: "False and real, so that the dark girl can't find the way, she will have doubts in her heart, which is enough to delay for a while." With this period of delay, the winter solstice may be able to find a hiding place for the dark. When the time comes, the enemy will be bright and I will be dark, and we will settle the old accounts with her and the new ones! ”

"Good! Then I will immediately set off and go to Sang Village to find out the news. Zuo Yan immediately made a decision and said, "Maybe Qi Huanghua has gone home, and we have a false alarm." ”

"I hope so!"

The matter of the secret death, life is at stake, Zuo Yan must go in person to rest assured, Xu You also has the same idea, his eyes are full of deep concern, and he said: "Be careful!" ”

Zuo Yan left for more than an hour, Xu You was a little uneasy, and he didn't know what was wrong, so he forced himself to calm down and write, and he was grinding on the side, seeing that something was wrong, and said, "Xiaolang, but is the ink research uneven?" ”

Xu You shook his head, and as soon as he dipped the pen in ink, his hand suddenly trembled, and the bean-sized ink dripped on the white paper along the supple rabbit, instantly soaked in a large mass of stains.

"Ah, Xiaolang, what's wrong?"

Xu You threw away the pen, turned around and walked to the door, and said in a deep voice: "Wu Shan!" ”

Wu Shan ran out of the shadows at the gate of the courtyard, his body stood straight, and after Zuo Yan practiced day and night, his face was already fierce, and he said, "Lord Hao! ”

"You take one more person, ask Zhan Hong to borrow two horses, and then divide the troops into two ways, one person quickly goes to the gold fang, and orders the stun to rush to Sang Village immediately to save Zuo Yan at all costs. One person went directly to Sang Village, and if it was still too late, he had to be extremely careful and tell him that Sang Village was a trap. If...... If there is any accident, when the sting arrives, don't stay, let alone try to take revenge, and come back immediately. Go ahead! ”

Wu Shan was shocked and said, "Zuo Langjun is ......"

"What are you rubbing, go quickly!"

"No!"

Wu Shan hurriedly took people away, Xu You asked Lushuang to prepare refreshments, and sat in an open and conspicuous place in the courtyard, hoping to lure the dark to appear, although he knew that there was little hope, but if he didn't do something, he really couldn't rest assured.

Zuo Yan hired an ox cart, asked for directions, and arrived at Sang Village before noon. This is a typical pattern of Jiangnan water town, which is not much different from Zhou Village, where Baihua is located, but it is more sparsely populated, about a dozen households. met an old woman at the entrance of the village, Zuo Yan said: "Is there a family surnamed Qi in the village?" ”

"Qi? Almost all of our village have the surname Qi, which one are you looking for? ”

"Oh, there seems to be a little girl in his house, whose name is Huanghua's ......"

The old woman sighed and said, "You are late, Ah Hua of the Qi family has disappeared since she went to her uncle's house yesterday, and she has not found it yet, and everyone is discussing the preparation of going to the county government to report to the official." ”

Zuo Yan originally thought that Qi Huanghua was a character fabricated at random by the secret Yao, including the name, surname, family background, residence and other identities were all fake, but he didn't expect that there was really such a person in Sangcun, and he did go to his uncle's house yesterday.

"Can you take me to see, I'm from Qiantang County, maybe I can help!"

"Okay, I'll take you!"

Seeing Qi Huanghua's parents and brothers, they were all honest countrymen, and when he heard Zuo Yan say that he had met his daughter at the foot of the mountain ten miles away, he immediately took the whole village with him.

Zuo Yan could probably guess what happened, and secretly followed Xu You to find that Xu You went to Sajinfang, and happened to meet Qi Huanghua, plus there was indeed a woman kidnapped nearby before, so it would not arouse suspicion, and he felt that it was a godsend, so he moved the idea.

With the means of darkness, she was naturally able to easily get out the details of Qi Huanghua, and then knocked her unconscious, pretending her identity, and calmly arranging yesterday's trap. It's just that I don't know if the two men in charge of the kidnapping are accomplices with the secret gang, or if they are the scissors who she deliberately seduced. But this is not important, the important thing is that Zuo Yan believes that Qi Huanghua should not be dead, although Dark Yao is notorious, but he has never killed anyone except the target person. That time in Jinling, the dark girl only stunned the autumn equinox and the proprietress of the grate shop, and did not destroy their lives, unlike the other three children who killed people without blinking.

Starting from the dark place at the bottom of the mountain, spread a 300-meter radius around the area to search. There are many people with great strength, and after only half an hour of searching, they found the real Qi Huanghua in a low and narrow cave.

Her body was covered with Xu You's fox fur, so she escaped the cold of last night and did not freeze to death on the spot. His hands and feet were bound with hemp rope, a rag was stuffed in his mouth, his hair was scattered, his right side of his face was black, and there were blood stains on the left side of his face. Qi Huanghua's mother was the first to rush over, hugging her daughter to death, her father and brother were also in tears, and her sister-in-law looked at her sister-in-law's body carefully, except for a few broken clothes, it didn't look like she had been ruined, she stepped forward and pulled away her mother-in-law, helped Qi Huanghua to let her stand up by herself, intentionally or unintentionally showed other villagers that the clothes on her body were generally intact, so as to avoid someone rapping behind her back and arranging gossip in the future. Many women are not afraid of suffering, but only of gossip that can kill.

Zuo Yan stood aside, watching their families reunite, revealing their true feelings one by one, and his heart was also a little moved, but more of it was the worry of the dark death that disappeared again.

Since Qi Huanghua is tied up here, it is natural that he will be secretly killed when he met it yesterday, and after confirming this, the luck psychology when he came before was suddenly gone. After all, he was a man who was killed in a sea of blood, and once he recognized the facts, his mind became extremely resolute.

The soldiers will block, and the water will cover up, this is what Xu You often says, Zuo Yan firmly remembered it in his heart, no matter whether the destiny of heaven is in his own or not, he must not let the secret Yao hurt Xu You's hair.

"If the girl is all right, can I ask you a few words?"

Qi Huanghua glanced at Zuo Yan, did not speak, and still hung her head and sobbed in a low voice. Daddy Qi said: "This is Zuo Langjun, thanks to him we found you so quickly." Ah Hua, come, kneel down and kowtow to your benefactor! ”

"No need to be polite! The troublesome girl answered me a few questions, okay? ”

Qi Huanghua nodded imperceptibly, looking very shy and afraid of seeing people.

Zuo Yan tried to keep his voice as soft as possible, so as not to disturb her, and said, "Did we meet yesterday?" ”

Qi Huanghua was slightly surprised, looked at it again, shook her head, and said, "No ......"

"So, who did you meet yesterday, did this person imprison you in a cave?"

Speaking of this, Qi Huanghua cried again, her shoulders shrugged, she couldn't help herself, her sister-in-law persuaded her for a while before she said intermittently: "I...... When I came back from my uncle's house, I met a girl who asked me for directions and said that she was going to visit relatives in Sangcun...... I heard that she was a guest from Mulberry Village, so I was going to take her with me...... No, I didn't expect that she suddenly knocked me out from behind, locked me here, and, ......"

Zuo Yan saw that she was really shy and speechless, and said, "I also borrowed your clothes, but not long after, I came back and gave it back to you, and I had an extra big one, isn't it?" ”

Qi Huanghua's eyes widened, as if wondering why Zuo Yan knew so clearly, and said, "Well, yes...... Yes......"

"What does she look like? Are there any particularly conspicuous areas, such as moles, scars, or other imperfections? ”

For a long time, no one has seen the true face of the dark Yao, either they are all dead, or they see the fake face after the disguise, Zuo Yan believes that the dark Yao that Qi Huanghua saw cannot be real, but ask clearly, maybe it will be used in the future.

"Ordinary appearance, eyebrows and eyes are similar to mine, not long or round face, nose is not high, lips are slightly thin, fat and thin are suitable. Anyway, it looks like the village girl, but ...... It's strange, now that I think about it, I can't remember what she looks like......"

That's right, Dark, it's really Qiantang!

Zuo Yan hurriedly went back to report to Xu You, and said to everyone: "I still have something to do, don't let you go." After you go home, you can rest for a while, and tomorrow morning, you can go to the county office to inform you of the details of this incident. By the way, County Lieutenant Du is arresting the thief who was kidnapped by another girl, maybe it has something to do with this matter, you should be careful when you enter and exit, it is best to be accompanied by many people, and don't run too far alone. ”

Qi Huanghua stepped forward, lowered her head, knelt on her knees, and said in a mournful voice: "Thank you Lang Jun for saving your life, I dare not forget it in this life, I am willing to build a shrine for Lang Jun at home, burn incense and pray day and night." ”

Zuo Yan hurriedly stretched out his hand and said, "I said it, don't be polite......

"Wind Tiger, get out of the way!"

Behind him, there was a loud shout from the mountain sect, and before the words fell, Qi Huanghua suddenly raised his head, his eyes were cold and ruthless, and a ghostly aura appeared, and a cold light shot out of his mouth, and at the same time, the tip of his left finger was holding a steel needle, the tip of the needle was glowing with a faint blue light, and he was holding a short dagger in his right hand, stabbing at the lower yin and chest like lightning.
