Mengzhou bypassed the path behind the stone, and just came out of the fork and poked his head to look ahead, and suddenly felt a chill in his neck.

"Don't move."

Meng Zhou sighed deeply and got up slowly.

Immediately afterwards, three or four masked men in black came to this side, and the man in black who threatened Meng Zhou with a knife pushed her forward, saying, "Look at her." ”

One of the tall men in black stretched out his hand to pull Meng Zhou and said in a low voice, "Yes." ”

In front of the ruined temple, there were several corpses lying on the ground, and the smell of blood became stronger and stronger.

"Stop."

Sheng Lan followed the sound and saw several masked black-clothed men walking out of the path on the left.

Seeing this, Sheng Lan immediately put away her sword and frowned, "Why is she there?" ”

The man in black in the lead beckoned, and the tall man in black behind him immediately took Meng Zhou out and drew his sword around her neck.

Jing Rong's steps to move forward were suddenly retracted.

The man in black in the lead glanced at Meng Zhou, sneered, and said, "You give me the things, and I guarantee that she is safe and sound, how about it?" ”

There was silence in the air for a moment, Jing Rong let go of the shuriken and took out the letters, and said softly, "Okay, I'll give it to you." ”

Seeing this, Sheng Lan on the side was unwilling, and almost wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say a word.

"Put the letter down, you two stand back."

The man in black who led the way said and said to the tall man holding Meng Zhou hostage, "Be smart." ”

"Yes." The tall man said as he pushed Meng Zhou forward.

Seeing that the letter was about to arrive, the tall man slowly relaxed his shuriken.

Suddenly, a sharp arrow flew out of nowhere, pierced through the air, and nailed straight to the mouth of the black-clothed man who took the letter, and his body paused for a second, and slammed into the ground.

The sudden change surprised everyone.

Meng Zhou took advantage of this to slide out the knife in his sleeve and inserted his backhand into the waist of the person behind him, and the tall man in black suddenly let out a muffled snort.

Meng Zhou took advantage of the situation to raise the medicinal powder in his hand, and the few black-clothed people who stepped forward took a pause, Meng Zhou quickly turned around and grabbed the envelope on the ground and crashed into Jing Rong's arms.

The man in black at the head smacked fiercely, and was about to grab Wang Xianwen at hand, when suddenly another sharp arrow broke through the air and grazed his shoulder, followed by four or five sharp arrows shot over in an orderly manner.

Seeing this, Sheng Lan rushed over with his sword to break through the situation, and picked up Wang Xianwen with one hand. Seeing this, Jing Rong stepped on the sword on the ground and flew over to clean up the mess behind Sheng Lan.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the leader in black shouted and packed up the few remaining people and fled.

Before the temple was broken, it was rare to regain calm, Meng Zhou looked at Sheng Lan's arm, frowned, and said, "You are injured." ”

"Can't die, it's not safe, let's go!"

Back at the inn, before Meng Zhou could take medicine to clean up Sheng Lan's wound, she had already hurriedly treated the wound.

Sheng Lan glanced at Meng Zhou, who was a little helpless, and said, "Time is limited, and I still have a lot of things to do." ”

Meng Zhou said: "There is evidence of the Li family's guilt in those letters. ”

"I know, so this is the best opportunity to bring down the Li family."

Meng Zhou said: "By the way, do you have any ideas for today's arrows of unknown origin?" ”

"Not yet, I'll look into this matter."

Sheng Lan was talking, and a sound of footsteps sounded outside the house, and Mengzhou's eyes lit up, "It's Heshan." ”

When she opened the door, she saw Heshan standing outside the room with stains on his body and half a white cloth hanging from his head.

Heshan gasped: "You're back, it's good to be back." ”

"Come on in."

Mengzhou said and poured a glass of water for Heshan and said, "Didn't Xiaokong say that you went to report to the official?" How did it come to be like this? ”

Heshan said with a sigh: "On the way to report to the official, I met a madman on horseback, rampage on the street, I was in a hurry and didn't dodge for a while, and was overturned by the crazy horse on the spot, and when I woke up, it was already late." ”

Meng Zhou pointed to Heshan's head and said, "Then what is?" ”

"It was an old gentleman who passed by and saved me, by the way, what about Brother Huai?"

"What else can I do?"

Sheng Lan said and stood up, rolled her eyes, passed by Heshan, and said, "There is not enough success, and there is more than failure." ”

"You."

Before Heshan finished speaking, Sheng Lan opened the door and glanced downstairs and said, "I'm back." ”

Heshan Chong Jingrong nodded and said, "Brother Huai." ”

Jing Rong responded with a slight bow, looked at Sheng Lan and said, "Wang Xianwen has been settled." ”

Sheng Lan said: "That's fine, but this place is not suitable for a long time, we have to go back to Kyoto as soon as possible." ”

She said as she took a roll from her bosom and threw it to Heshan and said, "Wang Shiru is the list of missing girls recorded in the scroll, and there is the person you are looking for." She picked up her sword and left.

Heshan was stunned for a second, and after reacting, even his hand with the opening of the roll trembled a little.

The rolling paper was opened, and the dream was shocked, "Didn't you say that there are only three missing girls in the border city?" Why are there more than a dozen girls on this list? ”

"I found it, she's here." Heshan said and looked at the past carefully and said, "Qu Zhao, the last time she appeared was in Qu Zhao. ”

"So she disappeared in Qu Zhao?"

Jing Rong said: "Not necessarily, you can look at the last place where the others appeared." ”

Tsuruyama followed the past and said, "If I'm not mistaken, these places should be near Kyoto." ”

Jing Rong nodded, "Yes." He said and turned to Dream Zhou, "Do you remember the picture we saw in the high and dark room?" ”

Meng Zhou suddenly realized: "You mean the red circle with Kyoto as the point." ”

Jing Rong said: "Yes, these places are all in it. ”

Heshan's face showed his wings, "You have clues?" ”

"She's in Kyoto."

Late at night, Jing Rong sat at the table and didn't fall asleep. Suddenly, there was a noise by the window.

"Childe."

Jing Rong got up and helped Sanqi up, looked at his waist and said, "How are you?" ”

Sanqi smiled a little reluctantly, "It's okay, it didn't hurt the vital point." ”

As he spoke, he took out a knife and handed it to Jing Rong and said, "Childe, this is Miss Su's knife, and my subordinates have cleaned it up." ”

Jing Rong said, "Come and sit down and I'll take a look." ”

Sanqi said in fear: "Childe, this can't be helped." ”

Jing Rong took out the wound medicine and said in a low voice, "There are not many people she knows. ”

As soon as these words came out, the room suddenly fell silent.

Sanqi suddenly felt a little sad in her heart, yes, four years have passed in a blink of an eye, everything is human, if she recalls everything, how can she bear it?

Jing Rong sighed, "You are too impulsive today, and now that we have not figured out the situation of the other party, you want to enter their organization to find out the situation by yourself, if there is anything wrong, even if I want to take action, I am afraid that it will be beyond the reach of the whip." ”

Sanqi lowered his head and said: "It's the subordinates who are reckless, and the subordinates just saw that there was an opportunity among them, so they wanted to give it a try, but they didn't expect to meet Miss Su halfway." ”

Jing Rong was silent for a few seconds and said, "Fortunately, she met you today." ”

Sanqi was a little embarrassed and said, "But when I saw it today, Miss Su hasn't changed much." ”

Jing Rong sighed, glanced at Sanqi's injury and said, "It's better to be careful when you meet her in the future, after all, she hasn't recovered her memory yet." ”

"Yes."

"By the way, do you know where those arrows came from today?"

Sanqi hesitated for a few seconds and said, "The subordinates have not yet been decided. ”

Jing Rong put away the medicine bottle, wrapped the cloth tape and said, "Recently, you let go of your hands first, and we will leave for Kyoto in three days." ”

"Yes."

The next morning, Wang Shiru was reading the confession in the room, and suddenly there were several knocks on the door outside.

"Come in."

"Teacher, the noble man that the student mentioned to you yesterday is here, and he is outside the room."

Wang Shiru looked up at Wang Xianwen, trembled and got up and said, "Please." ”

When Wang Shiru saw the visitor, he knew who the noble person in Wang Xianwen's mouth was.

"The old minister pays a visit to the king of Huai'an."

Jing Rong helped Wang Shiru and said, "Lord Wang, please get up." ”

Wang Shiru said: "The old minister doesn't know that the king of Huai'an deigns to be here, and he is not welcomed. ”

"It's okay, I'm just going to pay a private visit by the Holy Lord."

"You may be seated."

After serving tea, Wang Shiru said: "Yesterday's incident, the old minister has heard a rough idea from listening to the dedication, and I would like to thank King Huai'an for taking action to save the life of the old minister's student." ”

Jing Rong glanced at Wang Xianwen and said: "Lord Wang doesn't have to be polite, I will cherish talented and courageous people." ”

When Wang Shiru heard this, he immediately got up, patted Wang Xianwen and said: "How can you wait for the prince to appreciate it and show your ambition to serve the country, and thank the saint and the prince for their grace." ”

Wang Xianwen bowed and said, "The minister and the king offer a message to thank the saint and the prince for their grace." ”

"Get up, Lord Wang, sit down."

Wang Shiru sat down slowly and said, "The prince just said that he was ordered by the Holy Lord to pay a private visit, but he has been traced to this point for the accidental death of several adults in Kyoto. ”

Jing Rong said: "What happened in Kyoto involves a lot, and I have found many doubts all the way to this point, and I believe that Lord Wang has also heard about it." ”

Wang Shiru nodded and said with a wry smile: "Indeed, the old minister wrote a letter to refute the selection of Gao He because of the assassination history of Jin'an City, but who knew that before the fold was presented to the saint, he was secretly stumbled. ”

Wang Xianwen said guiltily: "It's all because of the incompetence of the students, so that the teacher fell into the hands of others." ”

Wang Shiru sighed and said to Jingrong: "The minister is old, and some things are really inadequate. Although this student does not have any great talents, he is better than having a heart that is loyal to the monarch and protects the country and works for the welfare of the people. In addition, he has grown a lot in recent years, and he can take on some burdens, and it is not in vain for the old minister to take this trip. ”

Wang Shiru coughed a few times as he spoke, got up and picked up the file and confession on the desk and handed them to Jing Rong, and said, "The old minister has been in the border city for a few days, and he has found something. Lord Wang, please take a look. ”

Jing Rong looked at them one by one and said: "The Li family's ambitions are indeed bigger, but if there is no one behind them, presumably they will not dare to be so arrogant." ”

Wang Shiru frowned and said: "Indeed, after such calculations, the person who will benefit in the end is still the master behind it, if the Li family's line is not found out early, I am afraid that Kyoto will inevitably be in turmoil." ”

Three days later, we departed for Beijing.

Wang Xianwen was ordered to guard the border city, Wang Shiru returned to Beijing to resume his life, and for a while, Kyoto made waves again.
