Chapter 89: Striking the Grass and Startling the Snake
Miaoqin came out of the room, a little distracted along the way. Was Chang Qinghuan really taken away by Mencius? If not, who else has the ability to kidnap a big living person under the eyes of thousands of flowers. If it was really Mencius Shen's doing, then why did he kidnap Qinghuan?
The north wind was howling, and although it was blocked by high mountains, it was also unbearably cold. The exhaled breath was filled with some mist, which condensed into ice in the air. Miaoqin didn't care so much, and hurriedly walked forward, letting the cold wind blow on her face.
What she wants to know most now is whether Chang Qinghuan was taken away by Mencius Shen. If yes...... She clenched her fists, her nails digging into her palms without the slightest pain.
If so, she must find out Chang Qinghuan first! She wouldn't allow a second fish to come out and stop her! Thinking of that woman, she gritted her teeth, if it wasn't for Xiao Yu'er back then, she would have been a person from Mencius Shen a long time ago!
Mencius left early in the morning and usually returned at noon. Now she has a long time to find the truth!
Mencius Shen went out today, and he had a little bad premonition, he couldn't tell what it felt, but he was faintly uneasy in his heart. He was still dressed as a man asking for food, wandering around the city. His face was wrinkled, his beard and hair were white, he held a broken bowl in his hand, his back was stiff, and he was on crutches, like a depressed old man.
But those eyes as bright as the winter sun betrayed him. He looked around vigilantly, a group of officers and soldiers were patrolling on the street, and the entire Huailiang City was under surveillance. He frowned.
He was hesitating whether to tell Su Ying that Qing Huan was fine. If he told Su Ying, he didn't know if Su Ying would believe him, if he didn't believe him, the location of the fragrance of thousands of flowers would be exposed, and Su Ying would definitely attack the mountain.
Forget it, I can't say it yet!
Huailiang City is the morning market time at this time, and the streets are bustling and noisy. Mencius turned around and slowly left, gradually fading out of the crowd.
Su Ying has been patrolling the city every day these days. Qing Huan couldn't find it, and he was uneasy. He rode on his horse, staring at the crowd and filling the street. In this vast sea of people, where is Qinghuan?
Suddenly, a figure made him feel strange, he waved his hand, and Lu Honglu landed instantly, his voice was hoarse, and said: "Follow the person in front!" ”
"Yes!" Instant news.
Lu Hong is like Su Ying's right-hand man, because they are all the top secret guards of the Ghost Soldier Division, Su Ying is used to them being around, so as soon as the matter in the palace is resolved, he immediately recalls them.
Although the matter of the palace was solved, it also taught Liu Zhenguo a lesson, but he didn't know what else would happen to Liu Zhenguo, so he had to find Qing Huan and return to the palace as soon as possible. He gripped the reins tightly and went on to patrol the other places.
Lu Hong and Lu Yu secretly followed the person pointed out by Su Ying, and at first the two of them were relatively lax. Because since the two of them returned to Huailiang, Su Ying would send them to follow this and that every day. I can't wait to check everyone through.
So, they wanted to send Su Ying's suspicious person home like bodyguards, and then report to Su Ying. It was only after following the man for a long time that he finally became vigilant. This man is indeed very strange!
Not to mention that he was an old beggar, he walked briskly, but that he had obviously found them when he walked, so he made a detour in the city. The two glanced at each other, nodded, and instantly separated and disappeared in both directions.
Mencius didn't expect that he would be followed! And the martial arts of the two of them are on par with him, if it is one person, he still has a way to get out, but there are two people, he is not sure......
Just when he didn't know how to get out, the breath of the two suddenly disappeared at the same time, Mencius knew that the opportunity had come, so he took off his tattered clothes, pulled off the beard on his face, crowned his white hair, and disappeared into the alley with a few ups and downs.
It seems that I can't just mess around in the future! Mencius thought he had escaped surveillance and walked towards a dilapidated temple. The temple was built outside Huailiang City, only four walls remained, and only one Buddha statue was inside, and it could be seen that it was a temple.
Before Mencius could walk over, a sharp sword came from behind his head, and he skillfully dodged it and flew aside. I saw clearly the person in front of him, wasn't it Lu Hong who he almost killed in the jungle that day.
He frowned, and pulled a few darts from his arms, but before he could dodge, a figure flew in, and he didn't have time to dodge, and his clothes were scratched by the sword.
He raised his sword and attacked Mencius Shen, and the speed was so fast that people couldn't dodge, but Mencius Shen's years of experience made him come back to his senses instantly, and the dart in his hand also flew out with a whoosh.
The speed of the dragon was too fast, I didn't expect Mencius Shen to be able to throw a dart, and the sword that flew out didn't have time to stop, and it was about to hit his shoulder. Lu Hong suddenly stepped forward and picked the dart away with a sword.
I only heard the sound of "Zheng", and the dart fell to the ground. When he turned around, Mencius was already standing a few meters away, holding an iron egg in his hand, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said: "I've been following for so long, I'm tired, I'll give you a gift, rest and rest!" ”
After speaking, he threw the projectile in his hand between the two, and when he touched it, the projectile exploded instantly. A thick smoke drifted next to the Lu Hong, so that they couldn't see clearly in an instant, they covered their mouths and noses, and by the time the smoke cleared, Mencius Shen was already gone!
"Go, chase!" Lu Hong's purple eyes flashed with remorse, he shouldn't have been distracted just now! I knew that I would have let the lynx suffer that dart!
"Wait!" Lu Yu grabbed Lu Hong, the expression on his face was a little serious, and when Lu Hong was strange, he said, "I feel a little dizzy......"
After speaking, he fainted with his head on the ground in a large zigzag. There was a bang, and dust instantly stirred up on the ground. Lu Hong's eyes widened, and then he reacted, maybe the smoke was poisonous, maybe he covered his mouth and nose so it was okay, he had a black face, and he looked at Lu Yu and wanted to poke two holes in his body.
He looked into the distance, and the weeds on the path were dry, and there was no one in sight. He held his chin and seemed to be considering whether to take him back or leave him here, and continued to track down Mencius.
After a while, he finally decided to throw the monkey here first, and go back to tell Su Ying by himself. So Lu Hong dragged the half-dead monkey and threw him to the side of the temple, and did not forget to stare at him when he left, and then a few ups and downs were in the distance.
When Lu Hong found Su Ying, he was still on patrol.
"What? Are you telling the truth? Su Ying was on the horse, and when he heard Lu Hong's report, his face showed a little surprise, but he didn't show it obviously, and he still looked like an idler, "Then can you see where he fled?" ”
"The subordinates are incompetent, they don't see where he went!" Lu Hong knelt on the ground, his hands clenched into fists, his head on his head, and his eyes flashed with remorse. He was sure that man was the one who had wounded him in the woods!
"Send someone to search around there immediately!" Su Ying ignored his words, and then immediately gave an order, since there are already clues, then hurry up to find Mencius Shen, and then find Qing Huan.
Lu Hong took the order and led the way for Su Ying and the others. A team of men and horses followed Su Ying towards the temple.
Along the way, Su Ying's expression was serious, and his eyes flashed with some complexity. Huailiang City was so tightly sealed that it was impossible for Mencius to come in, but he appeared in the city, and it was obvious that he had been in the city all along, but they didn't find out.
In this way, Mencius is deeply there, so Qinghuan must have been taken away by the people with thousands of flowers! It's been so many days, Qinghuan her...... Whether it is dead or alive, he can't guarantee it now, and he can't believe it. He should be happy to find a clue, but he is even more uneasy!
When everyone arrived at the temple, Lu Yu had already woken up and waited for Su Ying. It's just that when he looked at Lu Hong, there was a grievance in his eyes, and he looked like he was going to be finished with him. The latter ignored his gaze indifferently.
Monkey feels that her young heart has been hurt! When he was unconscious and the number of enemies was not yet clear, Lu Hong actually threw him down like this! Isn't he afraid that the man will come back and give him another dart?
The premonition was not wrong, he was indeed "attacked" again, but he didn't know it. After Mencius Shen threw out*, he flew to the temple to hide, and at that time Lu Hong did not pursue it carefully because he was unconscious, and it was not until after Lu Hong left that Mencius Shen came out.
He saw the slump on the ground, and wondered if there would be a fraud, until he kicked him, and he was really relieved, so the chance of being made up for a dart was very high!
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and his face twitched, but he didn't dare to show it too obviously in front of Su Ying.
Lu Hong didn't know what Lu Yu was thinking, but in that case, Lu Hong still felt that it was more efficient to report to Su Ying alone!
Su Ying walked around the temple a few times, frowning slightly, the temple was in tatters, and there were no clues. It seems that Mencius Shen had already fled. He stood in the temple with his hands in his hands, and it was close at this time, and at noon, the sun shone on his face, but it still could not melt the cold ice from his eyes.
The clue is broken again, and it has already startled the snake, and it will be difficult to find Mencius Shen again! It's just that now he can be completely sure of one thing, that is, the fragrance of ten thousand flowers must be somewhere in Huailiang City, and that place is Liankong Mountain, which they have never been to!
Avoiding everyone's gaze, Miaoqin sneaked into Mencius's room, where she opened the piece of paper, which listed the things that Mencius had recently taken. When did he love pastries so much, her eyes were a little suspicious.
Sure enough, the recent Mencius Shen is too strange! She looked around, Mencius's room was a monotonous blue, and the bed was as clean and tidy as his own, neatly folded. She walked from the outhouse to the inner room, looking inside and out, but she couldn't find the so-called Night Pearl.
Is it possible that such a valuable thing can be hidden under the bed? She leaned under the bed and glanced around, but there was nothing! Really, she's a woman, what is she doing!
Just as she was about to get up, her hand touched Mencius's deep jade pillow, and with a "creak", the floor behind her made a loud noise, and she turned her head, her eyes were full of surprise! It turns out that there is a secret passage in Mencius's deep room!
