The garden of the Maple Forest Villa was very fresh and pleasant under the moisture of the morning dew, Nie Feng stood in the garden and had no intention of admiring the surrounding scenery at all, he lowered his head and pondered: "There are so many people in the Madam and the Master Shenwu rushing to Wuchang in two cars, it is impossible for them not to meet on the road, will they stop to rest in some town on the road, or something happened on the way." It seems that he has to look carefully along the way, and if they reach Wuchang safely, he can also join them. ”

Qiao Yiming got up early in the morning and saw Nie Feng alone in the garden in a daze, he came to Nie Feng's side and comforted: "Feng'er, don't think too much, maybe, the goddess and Lei'er have arrived in Wuchang safely." ”

"Father-in-law, I always have a sense of foreboding in my heart." Nie Feng said uneasily.

"You wait patiently, I'll send a telegram to Hu Yuan now, and see if the goddess has arrived in Wuchang?"

"Father-in-law, I want to look along the way now." Nie Feng said uneasily.

Qiao Yiming thought about it seriously and said, "Okay, I'll ask Awen to bring a few people with you, and if you find something on the road, arrange for someone to come back and inform me." We're always in touch, so don't let Anna in labor worry about you. ”

"Don't worry! Father-in-law, I will. ”

Nie Feng took Uncle Wen and a few people to search carefully all the way, and when they searched for the place where Rong Lei disappeared, Nie Feng carefully observed the surrounding environment, he leaned over and looked at the complicated footprints on the road and thought: "There have been many people gathered here here, and there are traces of human cleaning." Then Nie Feng instructed: "Uncle Wen, you take people to the fork in the road over there to take a closer look, and pay special attention to the hidden places on both sides of the road." I'll go to the woods on the right and have a look. ”

As soon as Nie Feng entered the woods, he felt that something was wrong, there were obviously many traces of people stepping on here, he slowly searched in, and found a few drops of blood that had just dried not long ago, he touched his hand and kissed it, and then carefully searched around the blood droplets.

Suddenly, Nie Feng found a silver needle that was commonly used by the Divine Woman and Rong Lei. His heart trembled, and he thought, "Oh no, it seems that something happened to the lady and the goddess." ”

At this moment, Uncle Wen came along the woods, and when he saw Nie Feng, he hurriedly said, "Feng'er, follow me to the fork in the road to have a look, and I also found a silver needle like you in your hand." ”

When Nie Feng heard this, three steps as two steps overtook Uncle Wen and went straight to the fork in the road, he picked up the silver needle and asked, "Uncle Wen, apart from this silver needle, is there anything else to find?" ”

"Not for the time being, the brothers are still searching everywhere."

Nie Feng thought, "Madam and Master Divine Mother, they must have been ambushed by the enemy right here, who could this be?" ”

Suddenly, the brother who walked down the cliff shouted, "Uncle Wen, our car and our brother's body were found below." ”

When Nie Feng heard this, he asked in shock: "Is there a corpse of a woman?" After speaking, Uncle Wen hurried down to the bottom of the cliff.

"No, there's a male corpse we don't recognize." The brother at the bottom of the cliff replied.

Nie Feng and Uncle Wen carefully observed the death of each corpse, and when they came to the corpse of the stranger, Nie Feng squatted down and carefully examined the corpse, and then he stood up and said: "This corpse was killed by the divine woman or Rong Lei who hit the vital point with a silver needle, judging from the callus on the gun in his right hand and the gaiters on his feet; This person is supposed to be from a military background, and the bodies of the other brothers were shot indiscriminately to protect the goddess and Rong Lei. ”

"Feng'er, then according to you, Miss Rong and her master have escaped; Or was kidnapped. Uncle Wen asked.

"Judging from the silver needles left in the two places, they should have been kidnapped, and this silver needle should have been deliberately left by Rong Lei or the goddess." Nie Feng replied.

"Feng'er, what should we do next?"

"Uncle Wen, where does this fork in the road lead, do you know?" Nie Feng asked.

"About fifty miles ahead of this road, there are two branches, one can go back to Shanghai; The other is to Zhejiang and Jiangxi provinces. ”

"Oh, that's it, then let's bury these corpses first, and then, track down the fork in the road, and when we reach the junction, Uncle Wen, you take the brothers back to Shanghai to find out, and at the same time ask my father-in-law to help me send two telegrams, one is to send it to Hu Yuan and ask him to take my cousin back to Yangcheng first, and the goddess will rush back to Yangcheng after something happens, so that my cousin doesn't have to worry, make sure she goes back with Hu Yuan; Second, it was sent to Xian Wenjie in Nanjing, asking him to take the special combat team back to Shanghai to join you; When they arrive in Shanghai, you will join me with the secret notes they left with me. Nie Feng said.

"Okay, Feng'er, I remember everything, but I have to leave two brothers with you to take care of them." Uncle Wen said.

"Okay, thank you Uncle Wen for your concern."

At noon, Nie Feng and the others came to a fork in the road again, and he got out of the car and ordered: "Brothers, carefully check whether there are silver needles at the two forks. ”

They searched for a while, but they didn't find any trace of the silver needle, and suddenly, Nie Feng saw a tea pavilion snack bar opposite the fork in the road, and he said calmly: "Brothers, let's go to the tea pavilion to have a sip of tea and ask about the situation by the way." ”

Nie Feng and the others drank the best Longjing tea in the shop, so he got up and came to the store's side, and asked politely: "Hello, shopkeeper, ask you something, have you a group of people with a very energetic old woman and a very beautiful girl to rest here in the past two days." After Nie Feng asked, he also carefully described the appearance of the goddess and Rong Lei.

"I didn't see a large group of people, but just yesterday at noon, there were four foreign cars like you parked opposite, and a beautiful girl like an angel got out of the car, almost wearing a white dress as you described, followed by a tall and thin man, as soon as they came to my tea pavilion, the girl asked, shopkeeper, do you have Yangcheng's dry fried beef rice noodles?" I smiled and replied, Miss, I have all local snacks, you can also taste it, and then the young lady said, forget it if you don't, wait until you go back to Yangcheng next time to eat, and then I asked, Miss, aren't you going back to Guangdong Province now? The young lady was about to speak, and the tall thin man standing behind her said, "Shopkeeper, don't ask what you shouldn't ask." Then, the young lady asked for a pot of tea and some snacks, and said that she would eat them on the way. ”

When Nie Feng heard this, he was already sure that his wife Rong Lei, because she deliberately left clues for herself, when she was in the Yangcheng Commander's Mansion, she had to eat dry fried beef river every morning. Then Nie Feng asked, "Shopkeeper, then you know which way they went." ”

"I didn't pay attention to this, because I had to greet other guests passing by."

"Then you know where the two roads on the other side lead to?"

"The one on the left is one that goes down to southern Jiangxi and passes through Guangdong Province, and the one on the right leads directly to southern Hunan."

Nie Feng immediately thought of another sentence that Rong Lei said to the shopkeeper, 'I'll eat it next time I go back to Yangcheng,' which means that they went to Xiangnan.

Nie Feng had an answer in his heart, and said to the store: "Thank you" and set off for Xiangnan. When they were leaving, the shopkeeper also told Nie Feng that when Rong Lei left, he also said to him: "Shopkeeper, your tea is delicious, but my master is from the north, I'm afraid that she won't be used to drinking, and I don't know if she will have a stomach upset on the road." ”

Nie Feng thought about the meaning of this sentence while tracking in the direction of Xiangnan. At dusk, they came to a town in southern Hunan where three borders were located, and Nie Feng looked at the three forks in the road where they went to different places and thought about the meaning of Rong Lei's last sentence to the store. Then he said: "Two brothers, let's go to a convenient place in each fork in the restaurant to check if there are any suspicious codes and mysterious words. Nie Feng thought: "Only when the thief is relieved, can he not monitor Rong Lei's every move, so the lady said the last meaningful words to the shopkeeper." ”

Nie Feng carefully checked the clues in each toilet on the grounds of borrowing toilets in each restaurant, and he really found the words left by Rong Lei that only he and Rong Lei could understand: "The tailor marries a girl." As soon as Nie Feng saw these four words, he understood that Rong Lei and the goddess were taken away by Zhang Yanming, and then he thought: "Madam, how smart and alert she is, she doesn't even write the tailor's surname, the purpose is not to let Zhang Yanming's subordinates find anything suspicious." ”

Afterwards, he found the two brothers and said excitedly: "Let's go, let's rush to Fengyang City in northern Hunan immediately, I already know who arrested my wife and the god master." ”

Somewhere in Wuchang City, the secret stronghold of the New Emperor Sect, the scheming Wei Maosheng said: "Brothers, I just received a telegram from Taizun, he said that Nie Feng's wife Rong Lei was taken away, and Nie Feng was looking for it in the direction of Hunan Province, and he ordered that we must find Rong Lei before Nie Feng and hand it over to him. ”

Then Wei Maosheng instructed: "Min'er, immediately send a telegram to the branch halls in southern and northern Xiangnan, asking them to find out who captured Rong Lei immediately, and we will immediately rush to Xiangbei to meet the brothers there." ”
