Chapter 15: The Amnesiac Woman
The rest of the guards vigilantly drew their bronze swords and faced the visitor, and only then did they relax their vigilance when they saw that it was their own people.
Zi Rat knelt down on one knee and said: "The subordinates of Lord Qi have completed the investigation, and no killers have been found, only two strange little monks have been seen in the northeast direction. ”
Gong Qingcang raised his head and asked suspiciously, "There is no killer, who killed those Yan Guo soldiers?" What's so strange about monks? ”
"Back to the lord, my subordinates don't know who did it. A little monk seems to have just returned to the vulgar, just grown his hair, and is running all the way with a little girl, that is... The costumes are too strange, and the packages on the back are also very strange. ”
The rat didn't know how to describe the strange outfit of the two, and his speech was stumbling.
Gong Qingcang was not interested in discussing the monk's costume: "Is there anything else strange besides?" ”
The rat replied, "It's gone."
"Let them go!"
At this moment, another guard returned from the west, also kneeling on one knee and respectfully saying that he had found no suspicious figures.
Gong Qingcang was puzzled by four more guards coming down from the mountain, two of them were holding a sixteen or seventeen-year-old woman, standing far away, and the other two stepped forward to reply.
"Lord Qiqi, there is indeed a woman who has gone down the mountain, and his subordinates have brought her back, and found that there is a big pit, and all around it are sprinkled with stumps and broken arms, which is terrible to see, I don't know what kind of weapon did it? The deceased was also unknown to the force, dressed in black, and no marks were found on the stumps or shredded clothes. ”
Gong Qingcang sat cross-legged in front of the table, his back was straight, and there was no expression on his face, as if no matter how many people died, he would not stir up a trace of waves.
"These people should have the same purpose as us, they are all here to find Mu Qing's sisters and brothers, and since they are killers, they will not leave traces on their bodies, my father is puzzled, who killed them? Why kill them? If it is to protect the Mu Qing sisters and brothers, then who is protecting them? ”
Gong Qingcang took a sip of tea lightly and continued: "Zifeng, tell me to go down and find out who this group of black-clothed people is. Find out who is helping the Mu Qing sisters and brothers, and find out their whereabouts as soon as possible. ”
Zifeng clenched his fists and said: "Yes, my subordinates will order it immediately." After saying that, he turned around and ordered the other men in black to go.
Gong Qingcang glanced at the woman standing in the distance and said, "Yinhu, can you ask who this woman is?" What is the last name? ”
Yinhu, who was kneeling on the ground, replied: "The woman said that she had amnesia, and she only remembered that her name was Jin Feng, and she couldn't remember anything else." ”
Gong Qingcang frowned slightly: "Amnesia? Jin Feng? What a coincidence! Where did you meet her, did she come down from the mountain alone? ”
"Back to the lord, my subordinates met this woman halfway up the mountain, she happened to be chased by a wild boar, and her subordinates helped her drive away the wild boar."
Gong Qingcang was still expressionless, and no one knew what he was thinking: "Bring her over." ”
"Yes" Yin Hu and Shen Monkey stood up and waved, and the two guards walked over with the woman in a pale green Luo skirt.
The woman is of medium height, with a graceful figure, a goose egg face, willow leaf curved eyebrows, and a small mouth.
Such a beautiful woman, Gong Qingcang only glanced at it lightly.
"The little girl has seen the childe, and the son is blessed." The woman put her hands at her sides, and her body bowed slightly.
"What's your name? Where did it come from? Where to go? Gong Qingcang asked lightly.
"Hui Gongzi, the little girl's surname is Jin Mingfeng. When the little girl woke up, she was lying on a stone in Jinan Mountain, and she didn't remember anything else, and the little girl had nowhere to go. ”
The woman's voice was like a yellow bird, very good, and her hands were always on her lower abdomen when she spoke, and she looked like a tutored person.
"Even if you have amnesia, why do you remember the name?" Gong Qingcang said the main point.
The woman was not shocked, and pulled up the cuffs to reveal the word golden phoenix, which was tattooed.
"Back to Gongzi, the little girl saw these two words and thought that it might be the name of the little girl, so she claimed to be Jinfeng."
Gong Qingcang put down the tea bowl and said lightly: "Since you are homeless, let's go all the way with my father!" Shen Monkey, let her ride with you! ”
"Thank you, Childe, for taking me in." Jin Fengfu thanked him.
Shen Monkey paused for a moment, but didn't dare to refute: "Yes." ”
Everyone rested in place, Gong Qingcang walked up the mountain, and Zifeng followed closely behind.
When the two walked to a place where no one was, Gong Qingcang stopped, and said while relieving: "Zifeng checks this golden phoenix." ”
Zifeng glanced into the camp and said, "Does the lord suspect that she is not the person we are looking for?" ”
Gong Qingcang said expressionlessly: "It's not doubt, it's affirmation, she speaks knowledgeably and knows, and at first glance, she has deliberately learned etiquette, not like a woman in the mountains at all." Running down the hill and being chased by wild boars, the clothes were intact. There are no injuries on the body, but it is said that he has amnesia. The tattoo on the arm is clearly visible, with a slight reddish reddish edge, which has just been tattooed. ”
Zifeng suddenly realized: "According to what the lord said, someone deliberately sent her to the lord, then this person must have ulterior motives, why did the lord keep her?" ”
The corners of Gong Qingcang's mouth hooked, revealing an indifferent smile: "Only by staying by her side can you know her purpose." ”
Zifeng hugged his fists and said: "The subordinates understand, and the subordinates will immediately ask people to check." However, since someone sent her to you, it means that the purpose of our visit to Jinanshan this time has been revealed. ”
Thinking of this, Zifeng was shocked: "Lord, there are fine works around us." ”
What Gong Qingcang admires most is Zifeng, who is smart and can understand it at one point. The most trusted is also Zifeng, who is the most loyal of the guards.
Of course, other people are also loyal, but compared to others, Zifeng is the kind of foolish and loyal, and whoever betrays Gong Qingcang will not be.
Gong Qingcang has thirteen personal guards, except for Zifeng, the rest are named after the twelve zodiac signs, and they have been born and died together over the years, and several have died.
In the end, it was made up with the names of the dead brothers, so there were still thirteen, and they were headed by Zifeng.
Zifeng's original name was Ye Zifeng, but few people called him by name and surname.
"I ordered you to go down and don't need to look for Mu Qing in Jinan Mountain, let's go to the capital of King Yan." Gong Qingcang straightened his clothes and said.
Zifeng looked puzzled: "Why did the lord go to the Yan royal capital?" ”
"If you were Mu Qing, would you have been hiding in Jinan Mountain?" Gong Qingcang asked.
"There are a lot of poisonous insects and beasts in Jinan Mountain, and if you are not careful, you will die, and if your subordinates are Mu Qing, they will find a safe place to hide."
Gong Qingcang didn't answer, and continued to walk up the mountain.
Zifeng walked behind him and thought about it, and suddenly realized: "My subordinates understand, the most dangerous place is the safest place, so Mu Qing is likely to return to the capital of King Yan." ”
Gong Qingcang still didn't speak.
Zifeng thought for a while and said: "It's not right, it is impossible for the two Mu Qing sisters and brothers to think of these things at a young age, and their subordinates are stupid and ask the lord to make it clear." ”
Gong Qingcang glanced at him and said, "You're thinking too much, my father just wants to meet an old friend." ”
Zifeng: "......"
