Chapter 44: The Red Beetle
The explanation made the people next to him stunned, such a powerful person was just participating in the martial arts conference, and he didn't have the ambition to be the leader of the martial arts alliance, what kind of group of people are they.
When he arrived at the inn where the Northwest Tiger was recuperating from his injuries, Shangguan Feibai didn't care what the person's health was, as long as it didn't affect the questioning, it would not be difficult.
After the narration of Zhao Zhuo, the boss of the Northwest Tigers, after Zhao You bought Zuo Xiangling's potato chips that day, they also tasted a few pieces of the novelty, but Zhao You ate quickly at the beginning, and they tasted it and there was nothing left.
It may be that Zhao You ate too much, and he began to feel unwell at noon that day, but they only thought that he had diarrhea, and when Zhao You's face began to turn blue and purple in the evening, the whole person was directly out of strength, and when he called the doctor, Zhao You was no longer good.
But before they could send the doctor away, they also began to have the same reaction as Zhao You, fortunately, it was still timely, they just needed to recuperate for a while, but Zhao You was dead.
After listening to Zhao Zhuo's narration, Shangguan Feibai's hand holding the sword couldn't help but tighten a little, if it weren't for the fact that he was paralyzed, then he would definitely use himself to protect Zuo Xiangling without reservation, but now he felt that he should find evidence.
Whether it was evidence of Zuo Xiangling's miss, or any other evidence, he wanted to find it, but what was puzzling was that when the Northwest Tiger later remembered to check the bowl of potato chips, the bowl was miraculously gone.
This made Shangguan Feibai suspicious, and he also firmly believed that Zuo Xiangling was not a murderer, Zuo Xiangling had been with him since he came back from the ring, and he didn't have time to destroy the bowl.
Now as long as you find the bowl, maybe the matter is half settled.
When he went to find out the whereabouts of the bowl, he met Ji Chen and his party.
"Why are you here alone, it's very suspicious to be in a hurry, I don't know what bad things you are doing behind Boss Zuo's back?"
Ji Chen greeted Shangguan Feibai with a pair of peach blossom eyes, and the women passing by couldn't help but stop and look at them twice, and even followed them directly.
Seeing that Shangguan Feibai didn't pay attention to him at all, Ji Chen was immediately unhappy, and directly stopped Shangguan Feibai, with a posture that Shangguan Feibai would not let go without explaining.
Shangguan Feibai thought about it for a while, and finally told him, after listening to Shangguan Feibai's narration, Ji Chen decisively carried the banner of going to find Zuo Xiangling, and left most of his subordinates to help Shangguan Feibai investigate the case, and took Xiao Wu to Zuo Xiangling by himself.
This search was overnight, the two of them were running around non-stop, Shangguan Feibai did not make much progress, but Ji Chen, who used his own identity to find out the whereabouts of the carriage that took Zuo Xiangling out of the city.
tracked and searched all the way, and finally determined Zuo Xiangling's location before dawn, there were many guards, but the kung fu could only be regarded as average, so he and Xiao Wu solved it.
But when he pushed the door and saw Zuo Xiangling, he couldn't help but be taken aback, he originally thought that he could start with a handsome hero to save the beauty, but he didn't expect to see Zuo Xiangling hanging his head and being tied to the pillar, the inside of the room was lower than the outside, I don't know how much temperature, he pushed the door and felt the cool air on his face.
When he saw the water stains under Zuo Xiangling's feet, he understood something, he was in the palace since he was a child, and he naturally came into contact with some punishments that ordinary people didn't know, and one of them punished people for kneeling on ice is very similar to Zuo Xiangling's current situation, but that one is more cruel than this.
"Boss Zuo? Wake up? ”
stepped forward to untie Zuo Xiangling, Ji Chen secretly felt that something was wrong, the moment Zuo Xiangling fell into his arms, he still thought that he was holding a piece of ice, not a person.
gave Zuo Xiangling a pulse, and found that Zuo Xiangling's current situation is very bad, the pulse is like a gossamer, if he comes late for a while and a half, it is estimated that people will not be able to do it.
hugged the person on the horse, he found that Zuo Xiangling began to have a fever, and the temperature was very scary, he suspected that Zuo Xiangling might be a fool even if he was rescued.
Just as he was sending them back, another accident happened, and as they passed through a bamboo forest, the horse suddenly stopped, and began to roar, very manic.
Horses are much more sensitive to light than humans, and many times they detect danger much earlier than humans.
"Your Highness, be careful."
Xiao Wu drew a knife to guard Ji Chen's side, the two looked around and didn't find anything suspicious, just when Ji Chen was going to leave directly, Xiao Wu fell directly under the horse, and then, he was also in front of him, and fell under the horse with Zuo Xiangling.
Almost as soon as they fell off their horses, a girl wearing a blue embroidered skirt and a silver tiara walked out of the bamboo forest.
"I kind of caught you."
The girl moved her gaze to Zuo Xiangling, just helped Zuo Xiangling to the side, and when she was about to leave, she turned her head and looked back.
"This little brother looks pretty good, and it's not bad to take it back and pretend to be Gu."
After speaking, he nodded again and again, and I don't know where two small red beetles flew out, and they landed on the two of them respectively, and the moment they fell, they drilled into the cuffs of the two of them.
When she was ready, the girl couldn't hear the right tune in her mouth, like a whistle.
Then, I saw an incredible scene, Zuo Xiangling and Ji Chen slowly got up from the ground, but it was not the same as usual, because they were both drooping their heads, and their hands were also hanging on their bodies, swaying back and forth with the movement of their bodies.
……
"What?! You can't even look down on a person who doesn't know martial arts, what's the use of you?! ”
After listening to the report of his subordinates, He Yi couldn't help but get angry, and the horsewhip in his hand was also thrown on the little guy kneeling in front of her, and the horsewhip brushed along his head, and when the horsewhip fell, there was a bloody mark on his face.
"Look for it right away, if you can't find it, you don't have to come back!"
As he spoke, he smashed the horsewhip in his hand on the little guy, and the little guy could only bear it silently, and then got up and went out.
He Yi had an angry look on her face, she really didn't expect that after holding back Shangguan Feibai, there would still be someone who could save Zuo Xiangling, if Huang Hong knew that Zuo Xiangling ran away under her, it was estimated that she would go to her father to make irresponsible remarks, and then she would inevitably be punished.
Thinking of Zuo Xiangling's face, He Yi almost crushed a mouthful of silver teeth.
……
When Ji Chen woke up, he only felt that his head was groggy, as if he had been hit by some kind of smoke, and his whole body was soft and conscious, but he couldn't move.
After a while, it seemed that the man who had brought them here noticed him, and he heard a sound like a silver bell dancing in the wind.
