Alas, where the hell is Mingyu? It's really like a stone sinking into the sea, clueless, and nowhere to be seen. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

It's really a headache and a lot of madness.

Song Qi pondered for a long time, and didn't pay attention to anything else, so he turned his head to one of the thin family members and said, "Brother Ma, please go to the outside of the city after dawn, report the situation here to the shopkeeper of the Flower Sect, and see if there is any new situation on their side." ”

"Okay." Ma Dai readily agreed. The next day, he walked away quickly, and when it was time to hold the lamp, Ma Dai returned to the inn. In fact, Ma Dai is much older than Song Qi, but everyone follows Mingyu and habitually calls him Brother Song: "Brother Song, there are some clues found outside the city." ”

Song Qi's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked Ma Dai to sit down on the chair, and he also pulled a chair to sit opposite the latter. Everyone stood around him. Another family member quickly poured him a glass of water. Ma Dai sat down, picked up the teacup, and lowered his head to drink water.

"Brother Ma, go on!" Ling Xue stood behind Song Qi's chair and urged Ma Dai.

Standing behind Ma Dai's chair, he asked eagerly, "Is there a whereabouts of Miss?" ”

"There is a brother who follows the young lady, named Ao Bao," Ma Dai put down the teacup, cleared his throat, and said slowly: "I fell behind when I retreated that day, and I didn't have time to get out of the city, he went into a common man's house to escape the pursuit, and only left the city yesterday." ”

"Brother Ma, choose the important ones." Mao Yong reminded beside him.

"Does he know the whereabouts of the young lady?" Raised eyebrows asked impatiently.

Ma Dai nodded, while lowering his eyelids to recall what he had heard, he said eloquently: "When retreating, Ao Bao fell last, and many forbidden troops chased after him, he fought and retreated, and when he retreated to the intersection of Duo'an Avenue and a small alley, the corner of his eye caught a glimpse of Miss Mingyu and several other brothers surrounded by a group of people. ”

"How could Sister Mingyu be in the alley?" Ling Xue was puzzled, "Didn't you say that you should retreat all the way east along the street?" ”

"Ao Bao wanted to go to the alley to meet the young lady, but because there were too many officers and soldiers, and one person's strength was too weak, he couldn't kill him, so he thought, he should run to the front and call a few more brothers to come over and help." Ma Dai continued.

"Did he call someone to help later?" Looking at Ma Dai with raised eyebrows, he interjected and asked.

"But there's no one in front of you." Ma Dai picked up the teacup, lowered his head and took a sip of water, and then said: "Seeing that he is running to the gate of the city, he sees that the gate has fallen from a distance, and he can't get out!" ”

"Can't get out? Wasn't that caught by the officers and soldiers? The tone of the raised eyebrows was full of worry.

"I don't think I'll get caught! If Ao Bao was arrested by officers and soldiers, Brother Ma would not talk about him! Ling Xue reminded her with a smile.

"That's right!" Ma Dai raised his head, nodded approvingly to Ling Xue twice, and said with a smile on his face: "Ao Leopard quickly stung into an alley, climbed into the backyard of a house, and hid. He hid under the pumpkin vine in the backyard, and fell asleep as soon as he lay down because he was so tired, but fortunately the landlord did not notice it, and the next day he woke up, and quietly climbed over the wall, and sneaked back to the alley where he had caught a glimpse of the young lady, and went to look for it. ”

"Did you find it?" After asking this, he explained to himself: "It's been all night, and Miss is definitely not there." ”

Ma Dai turned back and nodded to the eyebrows, turned his head to Song Qi and continued: "There are obvious traces of a fight in the alley, and there are three of our brother's bodies lying on the alley, but the young lady has not been found. At this point, the corners of his eyes seemed to moisten.

"Since I haven't found it, it means that Sister Mingyu is still alive." Ling Xue said very surely.

"And then? Did Ao Leopard continue to look for it? He couldn't help but ask.

"In addition to the three corpses of our brothers, there are several other corpses lying in the alley." Ma Dai gestured, as if to point out where the corpses had fallen.

"Needless to say, that corpse must be a forbidden soldier!" Ling Xue blurted out.

"No, it's not forbidden!" Ma Dai shook his head, stopped talking, looked at Ling Xue with his eyes, and then glanced back at his eyebrows, as if he was selling Guanzi.

"Not a forbidden soldier? Then who else wants to arrest Miss? He asked with a frown.

"Who's that?" Song Qi was also frowning and thinking about this question, and suddenly, he and Ling Xue spit out three words almost in unison: "Could it be... ”

Ma Dai didn't wait for them to finish, then smiled and said, "Ao Bao saw that it was not the corpse of the forbidden soldier, so he approached to inspect the corpses and found that one of them was more familiar. ”

Song Qi and the others held their breath, and their twelve eyes stared nervously at Ma Dai, waiting for him to reveal the final answer. Although they know that the answer is imminent, and their conjecture is inseparable.

"You've probably guessed who those people are?" Ma Dai coughed dryly and said with a smile: "Yes, that's what you guessed, the family of the Simon family." “

"This Ximen Liu, what kind of enmity does our young lady have with you?" He stomped his feet and said, tears streaming down his eyes.

"When I catch them, I won't be able to spare them." Ling Xue slammed her fist on Song Qi's chair and said excitedly.

"Mingyu is in their hands, there shouldn't be anything wrong." A smile appeared on Song Qi's face, but everyone could see that this smile was a little reluctant and even more bitter.

"Miss is in their hands, I'm even more worried!" He raised his eyebrows and looked up at Song Qi, and said worriedly: "Ximen Liu has a beast's heart, Ximen Yun is a beast, his son of a dog is ruthless, and there is no good person in the Ximen family!" Miss might as well be arrested by the government, and we can rob the Dharma field again! ”

"Yes, all the misfortunes of Sister Mingyu are caused by the Ximen family. Sister Mingyu fell into their hands, and I was even more worried! Ling Xue also looked at Song Qi and said in an angry tone.

"Ximen Yun likes Mingyu, so he shouldn't do anything to Mingyu." Song Qi was very bitter in his heart, but he had to pretend that nothing happened, he couldn't stop rubbing his forehead with his hands, and comforted Ling Xue with words, which was actually self-comforting.

Although he said this, his heart was so anxious and restless that he got up from his chair and paced up and down the room, scratching his ears and cheeks, jumping up and down...

Seeing everyone's solemn expressions, Mao Yong found a relaxed topic, wanting to ease the tense atmosphere of the scene, and said with a smile: "Ximen Liu is now known as Ximen Gong, and his home is also regarded as the mansion of the prince." The location of his house is just northwest of Dogan Province. It seems that the fortune teller that Brother Song met was quite accurate! ”

With a little clue, it's much easier to do, and you can target the vine and touch the melon.

The next day, he sent Ma Dai outside the city and added twenty brothers into the city.

Everyone divided into groups of three and went out separately to secretly investigate the situation in all the places related to the Ximen Firm, and find out the place where Mingyu was imprisoned, so as to carry out the rescue operation next.

Qiao Mei took a family member to stay in the inn, and contacted in the center, once there were clues, he could quickly notify everyone.

Song Qi and Ling Xue followed Ma Dai, who was leading the way in front, turned a few streets, walked about a mile and a half, and came to the street where the Ximen business was located.

This avenue is very long, and there are many high-rise buildings on both sides of the street, which stretch endlessly. The street is full of people coming and going, bustling, looking at each other, rubbing shoulders one after another, quite prosperous.

Ximen Firm is located at this bustling four-way intersection, with an excellent geographical location. There is a row of three-storey buildings along the street, about 100 meters wide, the vermilion tile of the powder wall, the cornices and corners, inlaid with gold and silver, extremely luxurious, the porch is high and open, extremely magnificent.

There are two stone lions squatting at the door, and there are eight golden characters embedded in the lintel: Ximen Firm's Weiguo General Store.

The three of them stood across the street, inspecting the imposing building of the West Gate Firm. Ma Dai raised his finger and pointed to the left and right, and said eloquently, such as a number of family treasures: "The first row of buildings along the street is a business shop, the second row of buildings behind is the office of Ximen Liu, the third row of buildings is a place to entertain important guests, and the fourth row of buildings is a residence. In addition to these high-rise buildings, there are countless wings and pavilions. There is also a large garden at the back. Ponds are dug, rockeries are piled up, and pavilions are erected. It seems to be the emperor's imperial garden. ”

Song Qi found that there were several buildings behind the business building, which was very magnificent, and after listening to Ma Dai's speech, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "Hehe! This Simon Willow is too exaggerated! ”

"Ximen Liu, an eye-rolling thief, doesn't know how much money he stole from our Mingzhu firm to be able to build such a magnificent building!" Ma Dai scolded indignantly.

"If virtue is not matched, there will be disaster." Song Qi stretched out his hand and patted Ma Dai's arm, and said lightly: "This Ximen Liu will definitely not end well." He turned his head to look at the puffing Ling Xue again, and tilted his head, "Why don't we go in and have a look?" ”

Ling Xue pouted and said, "Just go, could it be that I'm still afraid of him?" ”

The three of them walked proudly into the door of the Ximen Firm.

"Guest, welcome to our store!" When a young man saw the guest enter the door, he quickly greeted the door with a smile on his face and bowed, "Is there anything you need help with?" ”

Song Qi waved his hand to the guy and said lightly: "Let's take a look casually, and call you again if necessary!" ”

"Okay, guest officer, please look at it casually, if you need it, just give orders!" The man laughed as he bowed down to the counter and watched them from afar.

There are more than a dozen other customers shopping in the store, and the guy needs to pay attention to each batch of customers, so he doesn't pay too much attention to the actions of the three of them.

As a result, the three of them were comfortable looking at the store.

The store is very spacious and bright, about 100 paces long and about 150 paces deep.

There are a variety of goods on display, including rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, tea, cloth, clothes, shoes, knives, bowls, spoons, etc., and it can be said that there are all kinds of daily necessities, which are somewhat similar to modern supermarkets.

"A thousand years ago, people could open such a big store!" Song Qi couldn't help but nod his head secretly and praised: "If it is put in modern times, their store will definitely surpass Wal-Mart!" He replied: "Although this Ximen Liu's character is poor, his business ability is very smart!" Then he thought again: "Although his abilities are high, they all learned from Ming Zhugong!" Ming Zhu Gong is more intelligent! ”

There were five or six young men standing in front of the counter, looking at them from a distance, and behind the counter stood a middle-aged man in a robe, who was looking down and dialing the plate, and that person should be the bookkeeper.

Behind the counter stood a tall and wide screen, behind which was supposed to be a passage leading to the courtyard at the back. He crossed his feet and looked behind him, but he was blocked by the screen, and he couldn't see the movement in the courtyard at all.

After wandering around the shop for half an hour, the three of them left the West Gate Firm, walked around the surrounding streets again, and then returned to the inn without finding anything... (To be continued.) )
