Chapter 198: Looking for Master

Li Xiaomai looked at the charred wooden shed, the pile of charred bones on the ground with a trace of gray smoke.

"Master, Master......" Li Xiaomai looked everywhere for the unheard trace. When the shed was burned, the officers and men armed with arrows and guns surrounded the shed, and no one could escape from the shed. Could it be that something happened to him, Master? Continuing to search for the ruins of the shed, Li Xiaomai, who was unknown at the end, couldn't help but shed a cold sweat.

The shed was destroyed, and it was extremely cold in Dongming Mountain in the middle of the night, so the migrant workers lit branches and hay to keep warm. The fire was burning, but it couldn't warm Li Xiaomai's heavy heart, and he continued to look for traces of his master near the workshop.

Li Xiaomai knew that he and Master were carrying so much gold, and it was said that real gold was not afraid of fire, so if Master and the zombies were burned to death in the shed, there would definitely be a quarrel between so many people here who found the gold. However, there was no sound of quarrel in the crowd, and Li Xiaomai firmly believed that the master had not been burned in the shed.

But where are the people? Going out further, Li Xiaomai let the officers and soldiers block the way, "Go back, go back, you want to find death..."

In desperation, Li Xiaomai could only sit by the fire and wait for the dawn, maybe the master was mixed among the migrant workers, and it was too dark to see him.

When the morning glow was dyed from the sky, Li Xiaomai walked around in the crowd, thinking that if Master was in the crowd, he would come out to greet him. As he walked, Li Xiaomai's sticky beard slowly fell off the ground, and he didn't realize it, and walked up to the shopkeeper Yi and asked, "Have you seen my master?" ”

"You are the murderer, you killed the people of the Sunset Inn!" Shopkeeper Yi stared at Li Xiaomai and exclaimed loudly, Li Xiaomai, who had no easy makeup, made Shopkeeper Yi recognize him at once.

Hearing the shouts of the shopkeeper, everyone gathered around to see what was going on. Du Tou also hurried over with soldiers and soil, pointed a knife at Li Xiaomai, and asked the shopkeeper Yi, "What the hell is going on!" ”

"Master General, I am the shopkeeper of the Sunset Inn. He, he, he's the murderer of the Sunset Inn. Shopkeeper Yi pointed at Li Xiaomai and said, he is now thinking about how to prove that he is the shopkeeper Yi so that he can leave Dongmingshan as soon as possible.

The sword pointed at Li Xiaomai, Li Xiaomai could only raise his hand above his head, and kept saying in his mouth, "It's not me, it's not me, it's not us who killed people~"

"You guys? There's another person. Dutou's sword had already pierced Li Xiaomai's clothes, and a little more force would cut through the clothes and pierce the skin.

"I don't know." Li Xiaomai held his breath and raised his hands for half a minute.

"General. I think they are the accomplices of the Khitan spy zombies, no wonder the Taoists at the Sunset Inn want to kill them when they see them. The more he talked, the more he affirmed his thoughts.

"Sunset Inn?"

"General. The sunset customer stack is at the foot of Dongming Mountain, and I am the shopkeeper. But the inn was destroyed by the zombies just yesterday! Brute, return my inn! The more the shopkeeper Yi spoke, the more angry he became, and kicked at Li Xiaomai.

"Don't mess around." The soldier's red cherry spear separates the shopkeeper.

"Search for me!" Du Tou waved his hand, and the soldiers quickly rushed forward to search for Li Xiaomai's body.

"Li Dutou. So much gold! The soldiers shouted in surprise and handed the golden gold in their hands to Li Dutou.

"Who the hell are you, you have so much gold. Someone is coming, tie me up and escort me to Linjiang Mansion. Li Dutou quickly stuffed the gold into his arms.

"General. The Khitan spy was tricked by me into going to Dongming Mountain for the general to catch, and now I can go down the mountain. The shopkeeper Yi came over with a smile to invite the merit and receive the reward.

"Huh? Someone came to tie him up and take him to Linjiang Mansion. Li Du waved his hand at the soldiers and turned to leave.

"General, general, general...," the shopkeeper begged Li Dutou bitterly.

"Take them down, take them down, and then set off to escort them to Linjiang Mansion." Li Dutou impatiently asked the soldiers to take Shopkeeper Yi and Li Xiaomai down.

"Well deserved!" Li Xiaomai spat on him when he passed by the shopkeeper Yi.

The sky gradually changed, and Li Dutou escorted the bound two of them into the carriage. With the sound of horses' hooves, Li Dutou and his party left Dongming Mountain and went straight to Linjiang Mansion along the official road, and turned the bend in front of them to be Shunzi County.

"Li Dutou, if you want to send them to the county magistrate of Shunzi County to dispose of, it will take a lot of time to get to Linjiang Mansion." The officers and men in the carriage were a little tired after the trouble last night and did not sleep well, and did not want to run a long distance.

"No, the first effort to catch the Khitan spy can't be taken away by the Shunzi County Order." Li Dutou rode his horse and urged the whip to ride straight to Linjiang Mansion.

"Ah~~~" The screams of the officers and soldiers came from behind Li Dutou, Li Dutou hurriedly took the reins and looked around, only to see the officers and soldiers with arrows stuck in their necks lying on the back of the horse, bleeding profusely. At this time, Li Dutou also saw an arrow shooting from a distance on the left side of the road, and the arrow was getting faster and bigger. With a bang, Li Dutou saw the blood flying from his eyebrows, and in an instant, he lost consciousness and fell off the horse and died.

The other three or five officers and soldiers who were escorted also fled on horseback, but one after another the chasing arrows hit their backs and fell off their horses, and at this time flew out from the side of the road and rode horses, and the masked men on the horses came with long knives, and the blades brushed past the corpses of the officers and soldiers who fell to the ground and separated.

The masked man rode to the side of the carriage and cut the door lock with a knife, opened the wooden door, and was stunned for a moment, and said to the shopkeeper, "Well, how can this be." ”

The shopkeeper saw that the masked man was so frightened that he moved straight to the corner of the carriage, and his gagged mouth squeaked and didn't know what to say.

The masked man ignored the shopkeeper, threw away the fabric from his mouth, used his knife to cut the rope that Li Xiaomai was bound to, and said to him, "What about the Great Wizard?" ”

"The Great Wizard disappeared in Dongming Mountain last night." Li Xiaomai understood that the other party was Xiao Rongyue's person, and only he would call Mo Wuwen like that, and the stone hanging in his heart finally fell.

"Who is he?" The masked man pointed to the shopkeeper Yi who was cowering in the corner of the carriage and asked Li Xiaomai.

"Humble villain!" Li Xiaomai glanced at the shopkeeper Yi and spit out a mouthful of phlegm.

"Not your friend?" The masked man asked.

"It's not." Li Xiaomai shook his head.

"Ah~~" Shopkeeper Yi screamed, blood spurting from his chest and splashing all over Li Xiaomai's body. The masked man pulled out the long knife that stabbed the shopkeeper in the chest, and said to Li Xiaomai, "Get on the horse, follow me!" ”

In the face of such a ruthless person, Li Xiaomai, who was trembling and dangerous, did not dare to say much, and as the masked man got on the horse and rode towards the village forest on the side of the road, suddenly the masked man stopped, took out his clothes from his baggage, and said to Li Xiaomai, "Go down and change your clothes." ”

After changing his outfit, Li Xiaomai followed the masked man on horseback for an unknown amount of time, and finally stopped by the farmhouse in the middle of the lush field. The masked man pushed the door in, and Li Xiaomai saw some farm tools lying in the farmhouse, and a person sitting at an old wooden table in the center of the house drinking some wine, and raised his head when he saw Li Xiao walking in.

"Xiao Rongyue!" Although Li Xiaomai guessed that it was her, he still called out his name in shock. At this time, Li Xiaomai also saw the masked man remove his veil, and it was Xiao Tie, Xiao Rongyue's family, not surprisingly, but what was greatly unexpected by Li Xiaomai was that Xiao Tie was a peerless master of martial arts, and all the officers and soldiers were sent to the west in a short period of time after he made a move.

"What about the Grand Wizard?" Xiao Rongyue was not cold, and asked directly about Li Xiaomai.

"Master fought with zombies in the workshop next to the dragon kiln in Dongming Mountain, and the officers and soldiers burned down the shed. The zombies were all burned to charcoal, but the master was gone......" Li Xiaomai tried to recall the scene.

"The Great Wizard was also burned to death in the shack?"

"I don't know, I didn't find Master's body."

Xiao Rongyue suddenly stood up and walked towards the inner room, Xiao Tie hurriedly rushed over to stop him and said, "Lord~~ Gong, danger." ”

"You wait here, Xiao Tie. I've got my own measure. Xiao Rongyue opened the curtain and walked in.

"What is this for?" Li Xiaomai's eyes were curiously looking at the door curtain, Xiao Tie stood at the door with a stern face, Li Xiaomai didn't dare to move half a step towards the door.

Suddenly, the house shook violently, and the farm tools leaning against the wall fell to the ground one after another, and when a slight shout came from inside the house, Xiao Tie would rush in.

After a while, Xiao Tie came out with Xiao Rongyue, whose face was pale and there were traces of blood at the corners of his mouth. Xiao Rongyue sat on a wooden bench and wiped the blood from the corners of her mouth, panting constantly. Finally, Xiao Rongyue slowly stood up as if she had just recovered from a serious illness, and said weakly to Li Xiaomai: "The Great Wizard is not dead, he is now in Longming Mountain in Shunzi County. ”

"Looking at Xiao Rongyue like this, he is not an ordinary person, how could he know that the master would be in Longming Mountain." Although Li Xiaomai was full of doubts, he still shouted: "Let's go to Longming Mountain!" ”

"My lord. At this time, your body is weak, we might as well go to Longming Mountain tomorrow. Xiao Tie persuaded Xiao Rongyue in a low voice.

Xiao Rongyue raised the wine jug on the table, raised her head, scattered the wine in her mouth, drank it all, threw away the wine jug, and said, "It's a trivial matter, it's not me who is so weak and doesn't pass the wind, it's not me, Xiao Rongyue!" ”

Xiao Rongyue walked to the door and said to Li Xiaomai, who followed, "I remember that someone asked you who you were, and you said that you are Xiao Shi and Xiao Tie is your brother." Taiyuan Mansion people's clan, remember that it is not Datong Mansion. You are Han Chinese, not Liao, you know no. ”

"Understood." Li Xiaomai knew that if someone knew that they had come to Datong Mansion, he decided that they were Khitan spies. In order to cause unnecessary trouble, it was simply changed to the people of the Northern Song Dynasty. Although Li Xiaomai felt that Xiao Rongyue might really be a Khitan spy, Xiao Rongyue took him to find his master, and Li Xiaomai didn't care whether Xiao Rongyue was a spy or not.

Driving the horse, they soon arrived at the county seat of Shunzi, only to see a long line of people entering the city at the gate of the city. The officers and soldiers were shot in the wilderness outside the city, and the county town of Shunzi was heavily guarded, and the officers and soldiers searched every person who entered the city.

"You follow me slowly and don't speak." Xiao Rongyue rode slowly to the city gate, facing the officers and soldiers guarding the city, he didn't get off his horse, but handed over something, and suddenly the soldiers guarding the city nodded at him. Xiao Rongyue waved her hand and motioned for Li Xiaomai and them to follow into the city.

After entering the city, Xiao Rongyue and them rode straight to Longming Mountain.
