Chapter 238: Disappear Again
Kitano Xuan felt more and more that there was something wrong with this inn, otherwise these two assassins didn't have any problems on the road, why did they suddenly bite their tongues and commit suicide? Not to mention...... How could two gagged assassins kill themselves by biting their tongues?!
"Don't you think there's something strange about that? The two good assassins are fine on the road, how can something go wrong now? Kitano Xuan sneered, looked at Jeremy Lin on the side and said.
Jeremy Lin also felt that there was something strange in this, unless there was something detailed in their group, otherwise this kind of thing would not happen: "The prince also thinks it is strange? The death of these two assassins is so weird, this kind of thing happened...... Unless there is an internal response. ”
Kitano Xuan sneered, waved his hand and called Ah Jin over: "Check this inn carefully, there must be something wrong here." ”
Ah Jin looked embarrassed: "Lord Wang, there are all merchants coming and going from the south to the north, if the prince suddenly sends someone to search now, it will definitely cause the dissatisfaction of the people here!" "If Kitano Xuan insists on searching this inn, unless he reveals his identity, but once Kitano Xuan's identity is revealed, the people will definitely complain.
Jeremy Lin also thinks so, although this mastermind behind the scenes is obviously ridiculing the two of them, but if they can't search for it, can they just let this mastermind do anything here?
"Lord Wang, it's not okay to search openly, we can let the secret guard check this inn in private, as long as we can find out a little bit of cattiness, it will be too late for us to search again." Jeremy Lin had an idea and suggested.
Kitano Xuan also thought it was very good, so he left Ah Jin by his side, and let the rest of the secret guards follow Jeremy Lin's people to explore the inn.
"Isn't the prince afraid in his heart? Although this inn looks ordinary, I'm afraid that there are a lot of things hidden in it. Jeremy Lin casually put down the teapot in his hand and said slowly with a cup of tea.
Kitano Xuan squinted at Jeremy Lin, this matter was not a good thing for either of them, but Jeremy Lin acted as if he didn't care. If it weren't for the fact that Kitano Xuan already knew Jeremy Lin's character in these days, I am afraid that I would have to wonder if Jeremy Lin was pretending now.
Kitano Xuan tapped his hand on the table, and said slowly: "Actually, these two assassins may not be able to ask something, unless this kind of assassin is found temporarily, they have been trained before doing things, even if they open their mouths, they can't say anything." "Kitano Xuan has a lot of experience in this aspect of interrogation, so he can naturally see if a person can ask something or not.
Jeremy Lin was silent.
Just when the two of them were a little uneasy, Ah Jin opened the door of the room, and a smell of blood poured in in an instant: "This is ......" Ah Jin's eyes widened, but these secret guards in front of him were all dressed in black, and they couldn't see the blood stains on their bodies, if it weren't for the smell of blood, it was too strong, I was afraid that Ah Jin wouldn't find anything.
"General, lord, it's the incompetence of his subordinates, who actually fell into an ambush by others." One of the guards was full of grief and indignation, and this was the first time they had been so embarrassed since they had been the guards.
Kitano Xuan immediately asked, "What the hell happened?!" "What the hell is this inn? The secret guards around him and Jeremy Lin were all carefully selected, how could it be like this?
"Lord Wang, my subordinates did what the Lord and the general told me, but I didn't expect to be ambushed by others when I was in the backyard. Lord Wang, this inn is really as Lord Wang expected, and even the shopkeeper in it is not an ordinary person! The Dark Guard said as he knelt on the ground.
Kitano Xuan knew that these secret guards had also done their best, otherwise I was afraid that they would be hurt even more: "That's it, we underestimated the enemy, I didn't expect such an inconspicuous inn to be like this." ”
"Lord Wang, now that the people around us have been injured like this, should we leave quickly?" Jeremy Lin thought of something and hurriedly asked. If this inn is all from the Nanban side, I am afraid that it will not be long before those masters in this inn will come to besiege them.
Beiye Xuan didn't expect this, and after listening to Jeremy Lin's words, he immediately said: "Ah Jin, pack up your things immediately, and we will leave quickly after a pillar of incense." Don't alarm anyone else here. ”
Just when everyone was already packing up and preparing to leave, a carrier pigeon appeared by the window of Kitano Xuan's room.
The people who were about to leave had to stop and look at Kitano Xuan holding the carrier pigeon in his hand: "It's a messenger from the palace...... Xiaoya disappeared not long after arriving at the palace! Beiye Xuan was shocked, Dayong Palace can be said to be the safest place in the entire Dayong, how could Su Xiaoya disappear from Dayong Palace? Could it be that he was hijacked?
"What the hell is going on? Didn't I already ask the two secret guards around me to send Xiaoya back to the palace? With two secret guards by her side, how could they still be missing? "Jeremy Lin's order to the two secret guards when he left was to protect Su Xiaoya well, it stands to reason that even after Su Xiaoya entered the palace, these two secret guards were also by her side, how could they suddenly disappear.
"I think we're going to get back in time...... Ah Jin, you pick out the secret guards who are too injured to hurry, and then go on the road after recuperation, and the rest of the people will follow us back to the capital now. Kitano Xuan couldn't wait, he thought that after Su Xiaoya's memory was restored, there would be no more danger between the two of them, but this kind of thing that happened now really made Kitano Xuan unacceptable.
Perhaps because of the urgency in his heart, Lu Bei Yexuan, who originally needed a whole day, only took half a day, and finally rushed to the palace before the sun set.
"Saburo! You're finally back. Emperor Yongping was a little excited when he saw Kitano Xuan, he knew that he had not been able to take care of his daughter-in-law, which made Kitano Xuan anxious to become like this now.
Kitano Xuan shook his head and asked, "Father." What the hell is going on here? How could a good Xiaoya suddenly disappear? Is it the hands and feet of the people in the palace? Kitano Xuan asked while holding Emperor Yongping's hands, but in his heart he couldn't wait to turn the entire palace over and check it carefully.
Jeremy Lin said: "Don't be impatient, I'm afraid that how this happened, the emperor himself doesn't know, why don't you listen to the emperor first, and then analyze and analyze?" "Kitano Xuan cares about it, and it is normal to ask the cause and effect first. But Jeremy Lin is a bystander, and he naturally understands that the most important thing now is to be calm.
After listening to Jeremy Lin's words, Kitano Xuan calmed down and helped Emperor Yongping to sit on the chair: "It's the son-in-law who is so excited that he couldn't take into account his father's emotions for a while, and he asked his father to forgive me." ”
Emperor Yongping shook his head: "Actually, I don't know what this matter is all about. After Xiaoya came back that day, she went to her former palace to rest, originally thinking that Xiaoya would sleep until dawn, but in the evening, the palace maid suddenly ran over and told me that the princess was missing......"
How could a good big living person suddenly disappear? There must be a reason for this.
Beiye Xuan thought about it again and again, and finally decided to go back to King Jin's Mansion to ask the world's masters.
“…… Saburo, I'm ...... The master of this world has gone back on the third day of your departure, and the master said that he has seen through the things in this world, and he originally only went down the mountain for Xiaoya's illness, but now Xiaoya and you are fine, so the master ...... "Goodbye." Emperor Yongping felt extremely embarrassed, he was also the head of a country, but the two people he took care of couldn't take care of it, and now this kind of thing happened.
Kitano Xuan was suddenly a little decadent, he didn't know what this series of things was implying in it, but he was indeed a little too unlucky.
"It's okay, Lord Wang, it's a big deal, I'll accompany you to Weihu Mountain to ask the master well, if the prince feels angry, we can invite the master down from the mountain." Jeremy Lin patted Kitano Xuan on the shoulder and said.
Without further ado, the two of them rode their horses to Weihu Mountain alone.
"What do you say? Are you coming to my master? A small child with pigtails looked at the two men in front of him ignorantly, if Kitano Xuan's face was a little more fierce, it is estimated that this child would have cried in fright.
How could this worldly master be so interested in raising such a child in his own house: "Who are you? I didn't see you the last time we were here. Kitano Xuan looked at the child suspiciously and asked.
When the boy heard this, he raised his chin and said, "I am my master's closed disciple, of course you haven't seen me, I picked it up when my master traveled down the mountain, if it weren't for my master, I would still be working as a beggar outside." The boy was a little sad as he spoke.
"Child, let me ask you, where is your master? Why are you alone here? "If the master is here, I am afraid that they will already notice them coming when they go up the mountain, so there is no need to hide in the house all the time.
The boy blinked his eyes and said blankly, "My master is gone." I didn't see the master after I came back from chopping wood for the master that day, and I thought the master had gone down the mountain to play, but he hadn't come back for so many days......" The boy wanted to cry as he spoke. He was only a five or six-year-old child, and if it weren't for the help of a master, he would now be a little beggar who relied on the handouts of others.
Such a coincidence?! First, Su Xiaoya suddenly disappeared, and now she is a master of the world, what is going on here? Kitano Xuan lowered his head and thought carefully, for fear that he had missed something.
