"At the time, I thought he was coming for me to get back what he had stolen. I thought to myself that he stole it, so why should I return it to him, so I was not afraid at all. But what he didn't expect was that he was really the prince of the Shengke Kingdom. ”

Luo Han asked curiously, "How are you sure?" ”

The middle-aged man said with a smile: "It's not a secret, in our business, I see a lot of all kinds of people every day, and there are still some of them with my eyesight." This person is an extraordinary talker, and at first glance he is not a person who steals chickens and dogs. And I carefully looked at his clothes, although tattered, the materials were very expensive, which was very in line with the description of the fallen nobles. He told me about the experience of leaving the kingdom of Saint Ke, and it was also clear and there were no loopholes. Most importantly, it doesn't hurt to trust him to me. ”

"Actually, he did come to me to get the jade pendant back, he left after suddenly waking up to the jade pendant would reveal his identity, and he didn't eat or drink in the restaurant, so I should return it to him. But how could I be willing to give him back what I had in hand? He also understands this, and has a special meaning for my jade pendant, even if I hold it, it will be difficult to make a move, and it is easy to cause trouble, and he is willing to exchange another jade pendant with me. I thought to myself at the time that he was the prince of the Kingdom of Shengke, and he had nothing to do with the Blackwater Kingdom, so what could be the trouble? So there was no consent. Seeing that I was resolute, he didn't say anything more and left directly. A few days after that incident, a man in black suddenly appeared at my house at night, beat me, snatched the jade pendant and left. I was young and vigorous at the time, and I was very resentful, thinking that this must be the prince's softness and not being hard, and thinking that with his situation at that time, most of them could not afford to live in a serious place, so I went to the nearby ruined temple to check, and I really found him. I confronted him, but he insisted that he didn't do it, and then he must have chased after him, and then ran away. I tried to hold him, but he was stronger than me, so I didn't. I haven't seen him since. In fact, thinking about it later, if he really robbed me, he would have beaten me again directly, and there was no need to flee in a panic, so I don't think he should be lying. ”

Luo Han frowned: "That is, you don't know where he went?" ”

The middle-aged man said: "I don't know where he went, but I know a characteristic of him, and I may be able to help you find him." But...... Hey hey ......"

The middle-aged man made a hand shape for a gold coin, and it was obvious that this information asked for money. Luo Han didn't care, and took out a handful of gold coins from his body and stuffed them into the middle-aged man's hand. The middle-aged man glanced through his fingers, felt that his mouth was about to open his mouth with a smile after the next number, and approached Luo Han and said, "That person has a scar on his neck as long as an index finger." ”

After separating from the middle-aged man, Luo Han thought as he walked. Since the prince was hunted down, he may not still stay in the Black Water Country, let alone in the Black City. But according to this man's office, the prince has a wealth of money, but he is extremely depressed, and he doesn't seem to be a person with excellent self-care ability, I'm afraid that escaping to the country of Blackwater is already the limit. If you haven't died, there's a chance you've lived in seclusion around here.

Dead horses are treated as live horse doctors, Luo Han found the city lord of Heicheng and asked him to issue a wanted warrant for a non-existent Jiangyang thief, characterized by a scar on his neck, and the whistleblower can get a rich reward. Although the city lord was not happy, the army of the White Lion Country was still in the Black Water Country, and he could only cooperate if he was unwilling.

As soon as the wanted warrant came out, many people came to report it, and even the person with a birthmark on his neck was not included in the statistical object report, but no one who really met the requirements was able to find someone directly, but Luo Han didn't expect to find someone directly by reporting, otherwise the specific information of the target was directly provided, such as age, height, and scar shape.

At the gate in the east of the city, a captain of the city guard looked at the middle-aged man in front of him who looked honest. He had just seen the middle-aged man enter the city, and he had not been standing long on the notice board at the city gate before coming out. There is an order from above, keep an eye on the suspicious heat at the signs at the gates of the city, and if you can catch someone related to the target, the reward is rich.

"What's your name? Where are the people? What for? What to do in town? What did you just do? ”

The captain's series of questions made the middle-aged man frown a little, and said: "The grass people's name is Chen San, they are farmers who cut firewood for a living in the villages outside the city, and they came to the city to buy something. I don't know why the military master stopped the grass people? ”

The other party may be skilled in martial arts, and he is not the main master, don't try to catch him, it's best to follow him secretly. The captain has been working for many years, and he knows the stakes well, so he said: "It's nothing, you also know, now that the White Lion Country is invading, although an armistice treaty has been signed, the White Lion Country is reluctant to withdraw its troops, and the city lord is worried that the White Lion Country will rebel and send spies to infiltrate when we are careless, so let's investigate the suspicious fever." Okay, here you go. ”

The middle-aged man walked out of the black city and glanced back secretly, he always felt that the captain looked at him a little strangely, but he couldn't think of anything other than the problem.

Walking more than ten miles, I came to a mountain village, and the middle-aged people greeted the villagers familiarly, and it seemed that they had lived here for a long time.

In front of a wooden house, a woman in her thirties and forties was tending to pickles at the door, and when she saw the middle-aged man, she smiled and said, "Big brother, why did you come back so early today?" ”

Middle-aged soil: "Where is Ah Quan?" I have something to do with him. ”

Woman: "He's playing with Qingqing." Then he turned his head and said loudly: "Husband, big brother is looking for you!" ”

After a while, a tall, thin, long-bearded middle-aged man walked out, and a ten-year-old girl was riding around his neck. The long-bearded middle-aged man smiled and said, "Big brother, what's wrong?" Why is it so early? ”

The middle-aged man patted the girl's leg and said, "Qingqing, uncle has something to do with your father, you go to the side to play first." ”

The long-bearded middle-aged man saw that his eldest brother was a little anxious on his face, and knew that something might be wrong, so he hurriedly squatted down and put his daughter down and said, "Qingqing, dad and uncle are talking about things, you go to play with other children." ”

The girl reluctantly said "oh" and ran away. The middle-aged man with a long beard stood up, revealing a scar the length of an index finger on his neck, like a meat worm.

The long-bearded middle-aged man led his eldest brother into the house, but the furnishings in the house were unexpectedly elegant, with many things that should not be in a farmhouse. For example, calligraphy and painting, ceramics, screens and the like.

"Heicheng posted a notice to find a Jiangyang thief with a scar on his neck, no one in the village knows the news yet, if they know, maybe they will give you out. You'd better take your wife and daughter out to avoid the limelight. ”

The middle-aged man with a long beard was puzzled: "Looking for Jiangyang thief is not looking for me, what am I panicking about?" ”

The middle-aged man snorted and said, "Your Royal Highness, don't forget that your origin is unknown, how will you explain it when the time comes?" And although he is nominally looking for Jiang Yang thief, he doesn't mention what case this Jiang Yang thief has committed, I'm afraid it's not that simple, maybe it's for you. ”

This long-bearded middle-aged man is the prince who fled back then, and his eldest brother is actually the person who beat the second to snatch back the jade pendant, and his original identity was the chief of the palace guard of the Shengke Kingdom. At the beginning, he was ordered to hunt down and kill the prince who fled with the token of the Shengke Kingdom, and chased all the way to the Black Water Country, but in the end he was very touched by the prince, and lived a rural life with him in the village outside the Black City. The prince could not do farm work because he was pampered, and he had always relied on the captain of the guard to hunt and feed, knowing that after a long time, the villagers knew that the prince had read and could read, and often asked him to write something, plus he had learned some simple farm work, so he could barely support himself. After that, he married a wife and had children, lived here with peace of mind, and never thought about the past again, and after knowing this, he forgot his identity and couldn't stand up to the investigation.

"In that case, I'll pack up my things and take them away." The prince realized the seriousness of the problem, and he was always grateful to the chief of the guard for taking care of her, and he was obedient to her, and immediately went out to call his wife and daughter.

The chief guard picked up the kettle on the table and poured a glass of water, and after walking for more than ten miles, he was still a little thirsty, and was about to drink it, when his face suddenly changed, and he rushed out of the house.

Outside the gate, dozens of soldiers surrounded the prince and his wife with weapons, led by the captain who interrogated him at the city gate. The captain stared at the scar on the prince's neck, and sneered: "Well, I'm just going to go out of the city after a few glances before the notice, is it to buy something and think I didn't see it?" Sure enough, he was an accomplice of the wanted criminal. Now that he is obediently restrained, maybe the city lord can still open the net. If you resist, kill on the spot! ”

The chief of the guard looked left and right, but he didn't see the girl's shadow, thinking that he should be playing somewhere else and not being caught, so he felt a little relieved. He was a little confused whether the other party was coming for the prince, but he didn't want to leave the decision to the unknown, so after judging the situation, he acted decisively.

First, he took an abrupt step out, punched the face of the nearest city guard, took advantage of his body to lose control and snatched the big knife in his hand, and then swept and slashed several city guards around him, attracting all the attention. The captain of the city guard reacted and was furious: "Kill! Kill them all! "Leave some of them to stop the chief of the guard, and he himself takes two cronies to hunt down the powerless prince and his wife.

Although the chief of the guard tried his best to fight, he couldn't break through quickly after all, so he could only pray that Prince Jiren would have his own appearance and hold on until he rushed over. At that moment, the attack became more and more ruthless, so that the villagers in the village were frightened, and they never thought that Orion, who had lived here for twenty years, was such a murderous demon king.

The captain led two cronies to chase the prince and his wife out of the village, and he knew in his heart that what he wanted was this scar man who didn't seem to have much combat power, and as for the fierce man who was skilled in martial arts, it didn't matter at all. As long as you can bring this scar man back, it will be a great achievement.

The prince was about to live in the village for twenty years, and with the help of the chief of the guard, he did very little heavy work, so that he began to run out of breath after running a short distance, and was not even as good as a woman who had done all the other farm work.

Seeing that the pursuers were getting closer and closer, the prince let go of his wife's and gasped: "Madam, I can't do it, you run quickly and take care of Qingqing." ”

The lady burst into tears, washed away the sweat that had just come out, and cried: "Husband, what have you done, they want to hunt you down?" ”

The prince didn't have time to explain, so he gritted his teeth and stopped, stretched out his arms and said loudly: "What you want is me, take me away, don't embarrass my wife." ”

The pursuers stopped, and the captain sneered: "Aren't you embarrassed if you're not embarrassed?" Caught together, the city lord was greatly rewarded. ”

At that moment, a stone flew out from the side and hit the captain's chest, causing him to clutch his chest and wail. From behind a tree came a man with a beard,

"Get out!" The bearded man shouted, and the captain and his two cronies were suddenly frightened, especially the captain, who knew from the strength of the stone just now that this person was definitely not something he could afford to provoke.

After comparing the reward and life, the captain immediately made a decision and immediately fled with his cronies.

The prince was in a desperate situation, and the feeling in his heart was indescribable, and he was speechless for a while, but his wife, whose tears had not yet dried up, had already bowed her hands and said: "Thank you to the Duke for coming to the rescue." ”

The bearded man smiled heartily and said, "It is my duty to draw a knife to help when I see injustice, so I don't have to worry about it." The two of them seemed to have offended the officials, and it was better to flee earlier. ”

The prince reacted at this time and said, "The eldest brother is still in the village, and he is outnumbered, I am afraid that it will be dangerous, so I ask Engong to help." ”

The bearded man did not hesitate, and rushed directly in the direction of the village, leaving only one sentence: "It is important to save people." ”

The prince sighed with emotion: "I really met a good person." Then he said to his wife: "Madam, let's go back and take Qingqing away, there is no way to stay here, I will tell you the specific reason later." ”

I have to be, this chief guard's martial arts are indeed extraordinary, one person and one knife, against dozens of city guards, and he will not fall behind, but more than a dozen corpses on the ground are helpless. But after all, he is a mortal, his physical strength is limited, and gradually he can't support it, and his energy gradually collapses.

At this moment, the bearded man arrived, and without saying a word, he pulled out a knife and rushed into the crowd, slapping several people in a row with the back of the knife, and the momentum was great, and then he said loudly: "The Sprinkle family does not want to kill people at will, your head has been beaten away by the Sprinkle family, if you don't want to die, get out!" ”

Everyone besieged the chief of the guard, and more than a dozen of them died, and they had long been cowardly, and the assassin came with another beard whose strength looked very violent, and he heard that the captain had been beaten away, where there was still fighting spirit, and he immediately ran away. Someone took the lead, and the physics class collapsed and fled. The chief of the guard and the bearded man did not pursue them, but let them flee. Soon the guards were gone.
