Zhi Weiben followed his line of sight, hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't help but say: "The general is a master of your country's military martial arts, I didn't expect that this time I actually made a special trip to Fugu to arrest this little girl, it's really incomprehensible......"

"Folded history! General Qin said coldly, his sword eyebrows twisted slightly, obviously a little unhappy, "It's better to inquire less about some things."

Zhi Weiben knew General Qin's status in the Western Xia Kingdom, and hurriedly flattered him again and again: "Yes, yes, the old man is speechless, and I ask General Qin not to be surprised." ”

Seeing that the old enemy of the past had changed into such an appearance, the corners of General Qin's mouth overflowed with an imperceptible sneer, and said: "This time you can successfully catch the lotus leaf, it is really a great achievement, and when you return to the country, the general will definitely tell the Queen Mother your achievements truthfully, I believe that for this vote, the Queen Mother will also be very happy." ”

Zhi Weiben suppressed the excitement in his heart, and pretended to be humble: "Thanks to the general's support, the old man really doesn't dare to take credit, if you want to talk about merit, you should be the general first." ”

General Qin bowed slightly, and then sighed lightly and said: "But the general really didn't expect that Zhezhao actually attached so much importance to the lotus leaf, but it was unexpected, and now the city gate of Fugu County is very strictly checked, and it is not easy to take the lotus leaf out of Fugu County." ”

Zhi Weiben said with a smile: "Don't worry, general, in fact, the old man has already thought of a clever plan to help the general take the lotus leaf out of Fugu County safely." ”

"Oh? It seems that the long history has already been calculated in the chest, I don't know what the clever plan is? ”

"The old plan is to be stiff for Li Dai."

Hearing this, General Qin showed a slight look of thought, and quickly understood, and laughed and said: "Sure enough, it is a blessing for Great Xia to be able to take refuge in my Great Xia!" ”

Zhi Weibenyin sneered: "The general has won the award, I believe that according to this plan, Zhi Zhao and Cui Wenqing will definitely be fooled, and then the general will be able to bring the lotus leaf out of Fugu County safely." ”

searched the whole city, but still found nothing, Cui Wenqing was really at a loss.

He knew that the longer he disappeared, the slimmer the chance of finding the lotus leaf, especially when he didn't know who held the lotus leaf hostage, which made him panic in his heart, for fear that the lotus leaf would be in danger.

In desperation, Cui Wenqing could only ask Zhezhao to strengthen the search of the city gate and at the same time search the villages around Fugu County, so as to find the whereabouts of the lotus leaf.

didn't expect this kind of thing to happen, Su Shi, who originally planned to leave tomorrow, naturally refused to go.

Seeing Cui Wenqing, who was at a loss, he couldn't help but sigh lightly and comforted: "Brother Wenqing, in my opinion, it's useless to be anxious now, it's better to think about what abnormal circumstances can occur before the lotus leaf disappears, so that you can find clues." ”

Su San next to him also said: "Childe is right, it stands to reason that Lotus Ye is just a maid, even if someone kidnaps her, the ultimate goal should be to deal with the Governor of Zhe and Cui Gongzi, if you investigate at this point, maybe you can find something." ”

Cui Wenqing bowed his head silently, his expression suddenly changed when he was thinking, and he frowned and said, "Hearing you say this, I remembered one thing. ”

"Oh, I don't know what?" Su Shi immediately perked up.

Cui Wenqing said in a deep voice: "Some time ago, didn't there be a few assassins from the Dadu Governor's Mansion? After being discovered by the guards of the palace, these assassins did not fight hard, but fled in panic, and committed suicide the next day in the city. ”

"Cui Gongzi suspects that these assassins have something to do with the disappearance of Lotus Leaf?" Su San frowned and asked.

Cui Wenqing glanced at her, and said: "Actually, I thought it was very strange at the time, those assassins were very few, and it was really difficult for those assassins to enter the heavily guarded Dadu Governor's Mansion to assassinate, and Ah Zhao's martial arts were not low, the assassins would definitely not be so reckless." ”

Su Shi followed his words and thought about it, and the thoughts in his mind gradually cleared: "If the purpose of these assassins is to come for lotus leaves, there is a chance of success." ”

"yes!" Cui Wenqing's eyes gradually lit up, "As long as you find out the identities of those assassins, maybe it will be helpful to find the whereabouts of the lotus leaf, so I'll go and ask the lady." ”

After finishing speaking, he was just about to get up and walk out of the room, but he heard the sound of footsteps outside the door, and Zhi Zhao had already walked in accompanied by Mu Wan.

"Zhao, I was looking for you." Cui Wenqing hurriedly greeted him, and just wanted to ask about the assassin, but he was suddenly stunned, because he found that the look on Zhi Zhaoqiao's face was indescribably ugly.

"Husband......" Zhi Zhao took a deep breath, frowned deeply, looked at him with a solemn expression, and said softly, "I have news to tell you, please calm down after listening to it." ”

Cui Wenqing was stunned, his scalp suddenly tingled, and an uncontrollable coldness spread from the bottom of his heart, flowing all over his body in an instant, and his voice couldn't help but tremble: "You...... What's the news? ”

Zhi Zhao's face showed unbearable expression, and he stopped talking several times, and suddenly sighed deeply, and then he said: "An hour ago, the soldiers found a female corpse under the cliff of Nanshan outside the city, according to the preliminary conclusion...... It's the missing lotus leaf ......"

Just as he was hit by a heavy thunderbolt on the top of his head, Cui Wenqing only felt a loud bang in his ears, and then his qi and blood surged, and a violent dizziness followed, and the characters "female corpse" and "lotus leaf" echoed in his mind again and again, and the fold in front of him was getting farther and farther away, and it became more and more blurred......

"Husband!" Zhi Zhao exclaimed, quickly stepped forward to support Cui Wenqing, who was crumbling and about to faint, and said with a choked voice, "I know this news is very cruel to you, but please be calm and cheer up, lotus leaf her...... It's already dead......" At this point, Bei Yan suddenly clenched his lower lip, almost white.

Cui Wenqing's whole person was confused and weak, as if he was born in a deep dream.

I don't know how long later, two lines of tears suddenly overflowed from his eyes, flowing uncontrollably on his incomparably white face, but he couldn't say a word.

……

The remnant sun is like blood, chaotic and blurry.

The vast emerald Nanshan Mountain was plated with a layer of red, and the sound of forest waves came softly, revealing a bleak beauty.

The body of the lotus leaf was found in a river valley near the Gushan River in Nanshan.

When Cui Wenqing turned over and dismounted, and when he walked with heavy steps, he saw the petite figure lying on his back in the pile of rubble, motionless and lifeless.

The pebbles next to it were stained with shocking blood, and even the moist mud was soaked in blood, and it looked ...... Appalling.

"He Ye!"

Uncle He, who followed Cui Wenqing on the same road, said sadly, and tears fell like rain in an instant, and he threw himself beside the corpse desperately, and cried on it.
