Chapter 170: A Friend Goes Missing
There was no figure of Dugu Aoxue in the room at all, the shopkeeper was very innocent, covering his eyes and retreating again and again to beg for mercy, "Shaoxia!" Swordsman! I'm an honest man! It's impossible to lie! The Dugu City Lord really slept in that room last night! "Then why no one? Did he drink and sleepwalk? Ye Sheng grabbed the shopkeeper's collar and asked coldly, "Or did you leave the room in the morning?" ”
"The Dugu City Lord didn't drink a drop of wine last night, and I don't know why he lives here!" The shopkeeper looked at Ye Sheng's fist and was very frightened, "And he really didn't leave the room in the morning, I've been here all night!" Seeing that what the shopkeeper said was not a lie, Ye Shenghu was suspicious, and then grabbed him and walked up the stairs, "Then open your eyes and show me, where is the shadow of Dugu Aoxue?" ”
The shopkeeper with blue circles under his eyes has a dull gaze. Looking at the empty bed and room in disbelief, "Could it be that the Dugu City Lord absconded in the middle of the night?" It's not right, the fees have already been paid, why run away! "If you fool me again, then I will not only get my five hundred taels back!" Ye Sheng held the collar of the shopkeeper with a cold face, "I will beat you into a pig's head!" ”
"Don't be impulsive!" The shopkeeper hurriedly covered his face to prevent being beaten, Ye Sheng's punch was too heavy, he couldn't stand it, "The room next to it is where the two friends who met last night lived, maybe they knew!" Ye Shenghu was suspicious. Grabbing the head of the shopkeeper, the two of them came to the second room of Tianzi, Ye Sheng was about to knock on the door, his nose snorted, his expression was awe-inspiring, and he kicked open the door without hesitation and rushed in.
There was a smell of blood in the room! Ye Sheng broke into the room alone, only to see a layer of blood in the elegantly furnished room. The floor and table were covered with dried blood, and the ground was littered with relics dropped by the two of them. Could this be the two people who escorted the Tianshan Mountains? If they are killed! So where is the Tianshan Snow Lotus! Where is Dugu Aoxue!
Ye Sheng was shocked, and his heart was empty. The blood stains have dried up, at least they died last night, judging from the debris dropped by the two of them, it is the clothing of the servants in Dugu Aoxue's mansion. Who is going to attack Dugu Aoxue and others? Is there a grudge against Dugu Aoxue? Or is it for the rare Tianshan Snow Lotus that is difficult to buy?
The shopkeeper's eyes widened. Panicked, the voice **, "Hero! This...... It's none of my business! "Forgive you for not having the courage and ability!" Ye Sheng drank coldly, "Go and ask the catchers of the six doors to come quickly!" "Jiangnan County's Ya Capture Kuai has been hit hard, because of the pirate Xu Wei sacrificed a lot of servants and fast fishing, I don't know, who is in charge of the county Ya now!
The shopkeeper hurriedly turned his head and shouted loudly to the innkeeper to report to the official, and returned to Dugu Aoxue's room, Ye Sheng slowly looked around. The sheets were messy and rolled inward, indicating that Dugu Aoxue on the bed took the initiative to lift the quilt and get up at that moment. Why did he get up? Want to pee? Or was it because of the discovery of the Assassins?
Ye Sheng's gaze turned, he walked to the window, and with a slight pull, the window with a thin slit opened easily. Dugu Aoxue is not a careless person, Ye Sheng also understands his living habits, sleeping in the middle of the night, Dugu Aoxue, this kid will definitely lock the doors and windows, for fear that others will peep at him.
The windows had not been removed, the paper was not broken, but the small wooden bolts used to separate the windows were not found. Ye Sheng understood that someone might have broken through the window last night. Leaning against the window, Ye Sheng looked at the lively streets and alleys below, people coming and going, and he was happy. Little did they know that right above their heads, a murderous murder had occurred.
It's been a night since the incident, and now if you want to chase the whereabouts of the thief or Dugu Aoxue, I'm afraid it's not that simple. Ye Sheng leaned out of the window, looked left and right, but saw no traces. Could it be that Dugu Aoxue was captured by a thief? The question is, how powerful does a master have to be to defeat Dugu Aoxue's sword?
Ye Sheng seemed to remember something, sniffed around the window, and then jumped on Dugu Aoxue's bed, grabbed his futon and sniffed it violently. The shopkeeper pushed the door in. I saw Ye Sheng put the quilt covered by Dugu Aoxue in front of his nose and sniffed it like a pervert.
Subconsciously covered his buttocks, the shopkeeper smiled reluctantly, and said, "Hero! What are you looking for? The disappearance of this Dugu City Lord is a matter of great importance! I'm an ordinary innkeeper, but it's really ......" "I know you're innocent!" Ye Sheng waved his hand impatiently, "Now I can only count on the catchers of the six doors to come and chase the clues to find out the whereabouts of Dugu Aoxue!" ”
"Yes! The hero understands the righteousness, and I am grateful! The shopkeeper was relieved, and immediately, he returned Ye Sheng's five hundred taels of silver tickets. pressed on the table, "Hero, wait a minute, I'll make you tea!" The shopkeeper fled, Ye Sheng sat on the table, looked at the empty room and frowned and thought, what the hell is this!
Boom! Boom! Heavy footsteps slowly walked up the stairs, and a majestic and serious man stood at the door, glanced at the small sign of 'Tianzi No. 1 Room', and then arched his hand and said, "My wife is invited!" "What ma'am? What do I ask me to do? Ye Shenghu suspected, although I am suave and talented, but I am not a casual person! What a lady, a young woman or something, if you are not beautiful, you can't see it!
Ye Sheng thought blindly for a moment, came back to his senses, and knew that this big man had misunderstood himself as Dugu Aoxue. He didn't defend it, he just wanted to see who Dugu Aoxue had seen in the past few days! Maybe you can catch the clue! The big man didn't smile and spoke rarely, and when he saw Ye Sheng get up and follow, he didn't say a word. led Ye Sheng downstairs and got into the carriage, and Dahan personally drove the car and went north along the prosperous streets and alleys in the south of the Yangtze River.
Although my mother said a long, long time ago not to get into a stranger's car casually, Ye Sheng was not afraid, leaning on the carriage, Ye Sheng looked at the inside of this carriage, exquisite and elegant, and you can see gold and jade ornaments everywhere, this carriage is worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, to say the least! Ye Sheng picked up a delicate celadon teacup on the shore and looked at it carefully for a moment, I don't know if this lady has a leg with Dugu Aoxue! Such a rich woman, should she sacrifice her hue too!
The carriage stopped, Ye Sheng got out of the car, and glanced at the vermilion gate in front of him, which was a deep mansion. Follow the Han into the threshold, Ye Sheng can see carved pavilions and mountain rock fountains everywhere, birds and flowers, quiet and elegant! The people who live here are certainly not low! Ye Sheng couldn't help but wonder how sacred this 'lady' was! Drift is not pretty!
The majestic and tiger-backed man led Ye Sheng to the middle hall, made a gesture of invitation without saying a word, and then he stayed at the door and stopped moving. Ye Shenghu was suspicious, cautiously walked into the middle hall, and saw a mahogany copper screen not far from the front. Behind the spun veil, a figure was faintly seated. Presumably, this is the lady who wants to see Dugu Aoxue!
Ye Shengyang had a long neck, eager to see through this screen. "The Dugu City Lord came to the rescue last night, and the concubine is grateful, I wonder if the Dugu City Lord's injuries have improved?" The woman's voice is soft and mellow, charming but ethereal. Ye Sheng's eyes lit up, he was refreshed, and a woman with such a beautiful voice must not look much worse!
Ye Sheng touched his nose, raised his eyebrows and asked, "So, Dugu Aoxue rescued you last night, but she was injured again?" I wonder if Madame can tell me about last night's incident? The lady was stunned, she couldn't see the person through the screen, and she didn't expect that the person she brought was Zhang Guan Li Dai, behind the screen, the woman's voice had a touch of majesty. Who are you? ”
With the woman's noble drink, the big man who led the way at the door had already appeared behind Ye Sheng, and the big man who knew that he had made a mistake did not hesitate to make a move, wanting to throw Ye Sheng, a promiscuous guy, out of the door. Ye Sheng's figure flashed, and the wind under his feet was sensitive and avoided the palm of the big man. His face was calm, and he clenched his fists and said, "In Xia Liu Bo, he is Dugu Aoxue's friend ......."
The big man didn't listen to Ye Sheng's defense at all, his hands were clenched into fists, and a tiger went down the mountain and went straight to Ye Sheng. The fists and feet are windy, and the moves are sharp. This big man actually used the military body fist in the barracks! Ye Sheng was shocked, but he had no intention of fighting back, he showed a variety of divine actions, his steps were ever-changing, and he spun and jumped one after another in this hall, like a dexterous monkey running around!
The big man failed to catch Ye Sheng under several moves. He was concerned about his wife's safety, and was about to shout and call for help, when at this time, behind the screen, the lady said calmly, "Long Chen, stand down." If this person had bad intentions, he would have already rushed into the screen and held me hostage! Chen Long looked ugly, put away his fists and feet, and then bent down to the screen in panic, "It's the subordinates who are not doing their job well!" ”
"It doesn't matter." The woman's tone could not hide the elegant tone, her voice was sweet and soft, but it was not the same as the voice of white attachment. Because, the lady behind the screen is less comical than Bai Attachment, and her voice sounds like a woman with a natural flattering voice, "You said your name is Liu Bo!" ”
"Yes!" Seeing that he finally stopped fighting and chasing, Ye Sheng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted the screen and said, "Please forgive me, the reason why I came here pretending to be Dugu Aoxue is to investigate some truths." "What truth?" The stuck-old man Chen Long sneered, "Could it be that you think that my wife will harm the Dugu City Lord?" ”
Ye Sheng raised his eyelids. The beautiful woman's face is not seen behind the screen yarn, but it is not difficult to see her figure, "Madame will not, but others will!" I am Dugu Aoxue's best friend, and when I visited him at the inn today, I found that he had disappeared, and the two slaves of Dugu Aoxue in the other room were also killed. When I was sitting in the room, this Chen guard invited me indiscriminately! ”
Chen Long knew that he was careless, but he still retorted with a dark face, "It's not that you, the thief, deceived first!" "If you don't ask me, how can I tell you!" Ye Sheng glanced at Long Chen with disdain, this man is extraordinary, I am afraid that he is from the army, and the lady in front of him can afford such a person, either rich or expensive.
"So, I want to investigate the people Dugu Aoxue has been in contact with recently and what he has done, so that I can investigate some clues!" Ye Sheng explained to himself one by one, and the lady behind the screen groaned, and then said, "Long Chen, go and dispatch people to search for the whereabouts of the Dugu City Lord in Jiangnan City. ”
Chen Long hesitated and immediately vetoed, "Madame, no!" The manpower we brought this time is already insufficient, and if they are all sent out, the safety of the lady will be in danger! How can the subordinates let the lady be in danger again! "If they were going to kill me, I'd already be in a different place."
