The five of them continued to set off in the direction of Yuzhou City, and Xia Hongying continued to teach Xiaolong and Xiaoqiao to ride horses, slowly and leisurely all the way.

At the beginning, Zhu Xiaolong was very looking forward to horseback riding, but it didn't take long to find that it was not fun. However, he is also a character who does not admit defeat, and he still gritted his teeth and insisted, Xiao Qiao will not be able to do it, and he will be miserable.

About half an hour later, they passed by a tea house, Zhu Xiaolong couldn't wait to run over, and the others followed.

"Man, serve tea, it's hot, it's hot......" Zhu Xiaolong directly straddled the stool and fanned the wind with his hands, and when he saw other people coming, he consciously put his legs away and pulled Xiao Qiao to sit down beside him.

Although he is very arrogant, he can also carry it clearly, and the two of them have nothing to contribute for the time being, so they just follow suit.

That Xia Hongying is a gold master at first glance, her kung fu is not weak, and her brain is also flexible; Huangfu Bingyan's martial arts should be above Xia Hongying, although most of the time he is silent, his sensitivity and alertness are first-class; Li Xueqing looks soft and weak, innocent, and not a vegetarian, and she can't see what rank her strength is.

Seeing that everyone was seated, the man quickly poured tea for everyone. Some of this kind of resting small tea houses are only coarse tea, but when people are outside, they are not so particular.

Xia Hongying took the opportunity to inquire, "Man, how long will it take to get from here to Yuzhou City." ”

The guy was very enthusiastic: "Guest officer, you can go all the way along this road, and you will be there in more than an hour." It's just ......."

"Just what?" Xia Hongying raised her eyebrows.

"Hey, it's just a small idea, it's better for your group not to go."

"Oh, what's going on?" The curiosity of the crowd was piqued.

"Guest, you're from outside, aren't you?"

"That's right, I've heard about the outstanding people of Yuzhou City for a long time, so we came here to play and watch."

"Guest officer, this Yuzhou City is indeed a good place, and the eighteen views of the landscape are even more unique. It's just that you didn't come at the right time. ”

"Why do you say that?"

"Guest officer, don't you know, recently, there is a demon in Yuzhou City, who specializes in targeting young and beautiful women. Now, the women in the entire Yuzhou City don't dare to go out, you take such a beautiful girl, isn't this a sheep into the mouth of a tiger? ”

"Demons? But the flower thief? ”

"It's a murderer, and several women have already been murdered."

"Oh, so how can you be sure it's the same person?"

"Alas, I heard that each of these girls was found after being missing for three days, this demon not only killed people, but also ruined those girls, and what is even more terrifying is ......" The guy couldn't help but shudder when he said this, "The deceased's right wrist was cut off, and his body was covered with scars, and what was even more cruel was that the deceased's face was peeled off, and the death was extremely miserable, pitiful......"

With such a heavy topic, Xue Qing and Xiao Qiao couldn't help but feel disgusted, Xia Hongying and Huangfu Bingyan looked as usual, Zhu Xiaolong couldn't help but scold: "It's so hateful, this bastard ......"

"If something like this happens, doesn't the government care?"

"Anyway, I can't do it, so far there are no clues. The state government issued a high-level bounty, but no one has accepted it so far. Guest officer, seriously, listen to Xiao's advice, you better not go first......" At this time, another guest came over, and the guy hurriedly went over to greet him.

Xia Hongying looked at the other people and asked, "What do you think about this?" ”

Zhu Xiaolong immediately replied: "Then you still need to ask, find him out, send him to the government, and dismantle eight pieces......

Bing Yan glanced at Xue Qing and said lightly, "It's okay to take a detour." ”

Xiao Qiao thought for a while and said cautiously: "If we can't beat it, then let's take a detour......

Xia Hongying looked at Xue Qing again: "Xue Qing, what do you think?" ”

Xue Qing snorted coldly: "I don't mind meeting him, I'm afraid of being disgusted." But the means are so cruel, this person will not be a top master. ”

Xia Hongying agreed: "Yes, the peerless master disdains to use such cruel means to do such a thing. However, this person can commit crimes without knowing it, and the government has no clue, and he is not an ordinary person. And this person is ruthless, so we must be careful. ”

Bingyan put down the tea bowl: "Then go to the meeting and receive the reward by the way." ”

"Okay! Catch the murderous demon and get the reward! The little dragon jumped to his feet and raised his hands and clenched his fists, as if the demon's head was already in his possession.

After Xia Hongying put down a few copper plates, several people left immediately.

The guy shook his head regretfully while collecting the money: "What a girl, it's a pity......"

This time, everyone did not waste any more time and rode their horses. Xiao Long had barely learned to ride a horse, Xiao Qiao had not learned to be led by Xia Hongying on horseback, and his horse was led by Ice Flame.

The group soon came to Yuzhou City, and because Xue Qing was a woman, she quickly passed the interrogation. The whole city of Yuzhou is still very prosperous, but there are no young women on the street, not even the maids of large families.

All the men who came out of the street were men, or old women, and Xue Qing became the only young woman on the street, receiving all kinds of looks: regretful, curious, surprised......

The crowd walked along Center Street, and it didn't take long for them to see a bounty notice from the state capital.

Xia Hongying clasped her hands: "The state government is generous, five hundred taels of silver, enough for us to use it for a long time." ”

"Wow, you're rich!" The little dragon ran over and tore down the bounty notice.

Several people were soon taken to the state capital by official missions. Zhizhou heard that someone unveiled the list and quickly greeted him, but when he saw a few people, his footsteps stopped, and the smile on his face slowly disappeared: a few stinky boys and a yellow-haired girl, too unaware of the sky.

"We're here to help, what's the attitude?" Xiaolong was immediately unconvinced.

Xia Hongying grabbed him: "Don't be impatient." Then he looked at Zhizhou: "It seems that Lord Zhizhou doesn't welcome us." ”

Zhizhou replied: "Little brother, I have been posting this notice for more than a month, and the real masters have not waited, and there are a lot of swaggers and deceptions." You're young, so let's go another way. Even if you really want to help, you have to weigh your own strength. Although the official wants to solve the case, he also doesn't want to make senseless sacrifices. ”

Xia Hongying was not annoyed: "Why do you judge that our strength is not enough, how do you know if we haven't tried?" ”

Zhizhou said: "Little brother, look at your Si Wenwen, the official doesn't want to embarrass you, go back." ”

At this time, another person who unveiled the list was brought, an old man like a Taoist.

When Zhizhou saw it, he immediately changed to a smiling face: "Here, the master please, let's talk in the house." ”

"Humph!" Xue Qing drew her sword and pointed straight at the old way. When did the eldest lady suffer such grievances and treat them as swaggering and cheating, but this swaggering and deceiving person is regarded as a master.

The old man said angrily: "The kid is rude, this seat has the virtue of a good life, forgive you for being reckless for a while, if there is a next time...... Ah......h

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Xue Qing flew straight over, subdued him in an instant, and pointed his sword at his throat.

"The chivalrous woman spares her life...... The chivalrous woman spares her life...... Chivalrous women have the virtue of a good life......"

"Don't get out yet!"

"How can it be!" Zhizhou said angrily: "Draw a knife in front of this official and scare away the masters, but you can take my Yuzhou Mansion in your eyes and take it down for me!" ”

Dozens of officers and soldiers surrounded Xue Qing, and Lao Dao didn't run anymore, hiding aside and preparing to watch jokes.

Xue Qing glanced at the officers and soldiers, and said angrily: "If you are not afraid of death, come here." "There are only dozens of officers and soldiers, but Miss Li really doesn't pay attention to it. The eldest lady is not subject to this kind of grievance, she has thought about it, anyway, with Yin Wang following, if she really can't beat and is arrested, Wanjian Villa will also level Yuzhou Mansion.

"Wait!" Xia Hongying shouted, jumped in front of Zhizhou, stretched out her hand and swept it away, and then withdrew it.

"This ...... This ......" Zhizhou stared at Xia Hongying, quickly reacted, immediately withdrew the officers and soldiers, and then waved at Xia Hongying: "Childe, please take a step to speak."

Xia Hongying walked straight to the lobby, Zhizhou followed behind, and did not forget to tell the master: "What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and entertain the distinguished guests." The master hurriedly brought Xue Qing and the others to the lobby to sit down, and let the next person serve tea.

Soon after, Xia Hongying and Zhizhou came out of the inner hall, and Xia Hongying said: "Thank you, Lord Hai, it is our duty to wait." ”

Hai Zhizhou hurriedly said: "You are here and are willing to help me with the Yuzhou Mansion, Haiyu is grateful." ”

"Lord Hai is polite."

"Mr. Xia, it's not early, if you don't mind, you can come to my house to stay temporarily, and it is convenient to discuss the case."

Xia Hongying smiled: "Lord Hai is polite, how dare you bother." ”

"Don't bother, don't bother, it's shining, it's shining."

Xia Hongying secretly gave Zhizhou a roll of the eyes, and Hai Yu immediately understood: "It's the clumsy eyes of the lower officials, you are all masters, that girl's kung fu alone is already superb, and the kung fu of other heroes must not be weak." This time, we can hopefully solve the case. ”
