443 leads are interrupted
Mrs. Shen's maiden home is in a small town more than thirty miles north of Sifang City.
Jiang Yi and Shangguan Yan were extraordinary, walking extremely fast, and it didn't take long for them to enter the town and arrive at the gate of a compound in the east of the town.
Doo, dodo!
Shangguan Yan stepped forward and knocked on the door.
A maid opened the door, poked her head out to look at the two of them, and asked in a soft voice:
"Who are you looking for?"
Shangguan Yan clenched his fists and said:
"In Xia Shangguan Yan, this is Jiang Yi, we are specially here to find Mrs. Li Yulian, there are some things I want to ask her."
The maid nodded and said, "Then you wait here for a while, and I'll go back to Mrs. Tongbing." ”
As he spoke, he closed the door again.
After Jiang Yi and the others waited in front of the door for a while, the maid opened the door again and said:
"I've been waiting for a long time, so come with me."
As he spoke, he took Jiang Yi and the two to the front yard.
The courtyard is full of flowers and quite elegant.
On the left side sat a middle-aged woman and a petite and beautiful girl, presumably Mrs. Shen and her daughter Bingxin.
Mrs. Shen stood up, looked at Jiang Yi and the two, and felt a little strange, so she asked suspiciously:
"We should not be masked, I wonder what the two of you are looking for me?"
Shen Bingxin also looked at Jiang Yi and Shangguan Yan curiously.
Shangguan Yan said straight to the point:
"The two of them are the wife and daughter of the jade-faced Zhuge Shen Yao, right? came down here mainly to inquire about Shen Yao's whereabouts. ”
Hearing her husband's name, Mrs. Shen couldn't help but feel nervous in her heart, shook her head calmly and said:
"I'm sorry, you found the wrong person, I don't know any Shen Yao."
Shangguan Yan's eyes flashed, and she saw that Mrs. Shen was insincere, and she was about to ask again, but at this time, Shen Bingxin said:
"You're here for my father? Mother, why did you say you didn't know ......?"
Shen Bingxin was a beautiful lady raised in the courtyard of the deep house, and he had no defense, so he asked directly if he had doubts in his heart. Of course, the more important reason is that she hasn't seen her father for many years, and suddenly heard Shangguan Yan talking about her father, and she wanted to ask what happened.
Mrs. Shen's face changed slightly when she heard this, and she hurriedly grabbed her daughter's hand, stopped her words, and whispered:
"Bingxin, don't say it again."
Afterwards, Mrs. Shen looked at Shangguan Yan and said apologetically:
"Girl, hold your fists, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you, please go back."
Shangguan Yan saw that Mrs. Shen was very wary of the two of them, and knew that if she didn't explain it clearly, she might not tell the truth, so she said patiently:
"Mrs. Shen, don't worry, we have no malicious intentions. I am Shangguan Yun's daughter, and my father was ......"
Without waiting for Shangguan Yan to finish speaking, a change protruded.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Seven or eight black-clothed people jumped in directly from outside the courtyard wall, and then surrounded Jiang Yi and the others with a fierce attitude, holding a bright long knife in his hand, with a fierce temperament and unkind eyes.
The leader was a burly and sturdy middle-aged man, wearing armor and a cold expression, looking at Mrs. Shen and asking in a deep voice:
"You are Shen Yao's wife Li Yulian, tell me quickly, where is Shen Yao?"
Although Mrs. Shen was surrounded by everyone, her face did not show fear, but raised her eyebrows and reprimanded:
"Who are you? In broad daylight, he dared to trespass into a private house, is there still a royal law in his eyes? ”
The middle-aged man just sneered disdainfully:
"Hmph, we are the king! I advise you to tell Shen Yao's whereabouts quickly, so as not to suffer from flesh and skin. ”
At this time, Shangguan Yan stepped forward, stopped in front of Mrs. Shen, and said:
"Mrs. Shen, don't worry, I won't let them hurt you."
The middle-aged man glanced at Shangguan Yan, didn't take her seriously, and said casually:
"Just you?"
As he spoke, his eyes flashed, he waved his hand, and ordered:
"Kill all the unrelated people, and bring their mother and daughter back to torture them, I don't believe it and can't answer it."
"Yes."
After the group of black-clothed men agreed, they waved the long knife in their hands and slashed at Shangguan Yan, Jiang Yi, and the two maids on the side of the courtyard.
Zheng!
The sharp and bright long knife slashed out of the air, emitting a trembling sound, and it was about to hit Shangguan Yan.
Seeing this, Shen Bingxin hurriedly shouted:
"Be careful!"
Shangguan Yan's eyelids drooped slightly, a glint flashed in her clear beautiful eyes, and she held the phoenix blood sword in her right hand, and suddenly pulled the sword out of its sheath.
Recite!
With a clear sword groan, the sword light flashed, and several cold sword qi shot out.
Then, a series of falling sounds sounded in the courtyard, and the eight black-clothed people were killed by Shangguan Yan in just an instant.
The middle-aged man's expression was stiff, his eyes were full of horror, his gaze swept over the corpses lying on the ground, and he stayed on the phoenix blood sword in Shangguan Yan's hand for a moment, as if he remembered something, he swallowed with difficulty, and said tremblingly:
"You, you're the goddess dragon?!"
Shangguan Yan just said calmly:
"Ouyang Feiying sent you, right?"
Hearing Ouyang Feiying's name, the middle-aged man's expression perked up, as if he had suddenly found a backer, he calmed down, and said in a fierce voice:
"That's right, I'm the lord of the city. I warn you that you'd better hand over Li Yulian and the others to me, otherwise the city lord will definitely not let you go." ”
Swish!
The sharp sword light flashed away, and a trace of blood appeared in the middle-aged man's throat, and his body fell straight back.
Shangguan Yan slowly withdrew the phoenix blood sword, and couldn't help but have a trace of killing intent towards Ouyang Feiying rising in his heart.
Shen Bingxin saw that the gangster was dead, and breathed a sigh of relief slightly, then stared at Shangguan Yan and asked puzzledly:
"One of you and two want to find my father, why?"
Shangguan Yan knew that if the two of them didn't know the truth, they wouldn't believe her, so she slowly explained:
"This matter has to start from the beginning, Ouyang Feiying betrayed his brother and sought to seize the position of city lord...... My father entrusted the young master to Zhou Hai and escaped. Zhou Hai handed over the young master to Shen Yao, and then Shen Yao disappeared with a trace and lived in seclusion in the Sifang City...... I'm here to find the young master. ”
When Mrs. Shen heard this, her face turned abrupt, and she said softly:
"No wonder he suddenly drove our mother and daughter back to their parents' house fifteen years ago, because of this."
Shen Bingxin also said thoughtfully:
"It turns out that for so many years, my father has not come home to protect the young master, I thought he didn't want me to kiss my mother."
After knowing that Shen Yao also had a hard time, Shen Bingxin's heart was much better, and then she looked at Mrs. Shen and asked:
"Mother, where is Dad now? Can you tell me okay? ”
Mrs. Shen shook her head with a wry smile and said abruptly:
"I don't know where your father is now, when he left, he only let us leave the Shen family and hide, and I haven't seen him since."
Shangguan Yan was a little disappointed when she heard this, but she didn't expect the clue to be broken here.
Without clues, trying to find two people in the huge Sifang City is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.
