Chapter Twenty-Three: Back to the Bamboo Forest
"That must have been the Red Kite who killed them!" He Chong nodded.
"There are also some corpses that are wounded by arrows, presumably from being trapped in the formation and injured by the mechanism. The formation mechanism in Yunfu is very sophisticated, and these people must have been killed and injured at that time. Because it was the one who invaded Yunfu, it was buried here, and there was no grave and no tombstone. ”
"If it's true that the Ghost Devouring Order attacked Yunfu, then these corpses in the pit are the people of the Ghost Devouring Order?" He Chong asked.
Zhao Ting nodded, "The knives and arrows used by the Red Kite, and the poison used by the Ghost Devouring Order to corrode the bones, it is not difficult to explain why there is such a difference between the corpses on the two sides." ”
"Your Highness is really thoughtful, and the analysis is as if you have seen it yourself."
"Such a large-scale attack, I just don't know if she's okay!" Zhao Ting remembered Yun Moxi's weak appearance, and the worry in his heart was even more than before.
He Chong didn't know who Zhao Ting was talking about, he was curious, but he didn't dare to ask.
"If it was really the Ghost Devouring Order that appeared, why didn't the Yun family mention it?"
Zhao Ting didn't answer, just ordered: "Restore this place to its original state." Continue to send people to monitor Yunfu, and send people everywhere to look for it, and once you see Yunbo City or Yun Moxi appearing, report it immediately. ”
"Subordinates obey!"
"This king is going to a place, you don't have to follow." After he finished speaking, he strode out of the mountains and forests, got on his horse and galloped away.
ran all the way to the outskirts of Yangzhou, and relied on his memory to find the intersection where Ligu sent him out.
I remember that at that time, Ligu sent herself out of a bamboo forest, but at this time, it looked like a forest.
Close your eyes and think about it, it is indeed this intersection.
Zhao Ting never doubted his memory and judgment, thinking that the Yun family was good at setting up formations, this forest must also have something strange.
But he was anxious and didn't think much about it, and he rushed straight in.
The forest is getting deeper and deeper, and the woods are dense and shaded, and it is difficult for the sun to get in.
After walking for a while, I lost my way, and I didn't see a single shadow of a bamboo.
It seems that this mountain forest is really a strange eight formations.
And I only know the surface of the formation, so if I look for it like this, I will only spin in the same place.
Not only will you get lost, but you won't be able to get out of the same way.
Thinking about it in his heart, he simply used his internal force to exclaim: "Aunt Li...... Ligu ...... Ask for a meeting. ”
After shouting several times in a row, his internal force was deep, and the sound of his power directly penetrated the entire forest, and the birds flew up with the vibration, and the leaves in the forest were also shaken.
Listen to your own voice over and over again in the distance, and then echo back.
After shouting for a long time without response, he began to wonder if he was really in the wrong place.
I began to feel anxious, and I was about to shout again in another place.
Suddenly, a voice floated into my ears, "What is the matter with Your Highness looking for slaves and maids?" ”
Listen carefully to the voice of Ligu.
Zhao Ting hurriedly shouted: "Aunt Li, this king has an urgent inquiry, please come out and see it!" ”
"Your Highness, please go back! The slave had nothing to say. What needs to be said has already been said. Ligu's voice drifted resentfully.
"This king knows that the Ghost Devouring Order has looked for Yun Mansion, but he is worried about Miss Yun's safety and rushed to visit. Please allow me to see you as well. ”
Ligu's voice was no longer remembered, and there was silence all around.
Zhao Ting waited for a long time, thinking to himself that she still didn't want to see herself?
The more this is the case, the more relieved I am, and I am thinking about breaking into it again.
A man suddenly came out of the woods.
Dressed in a green dress, it is Ligu.
He was overjoyed, jumped off his horse, and hurriedly greeted him, "This king came suddenly, but after knowing this, he was really worried, so I came to see you!" Please also ask Ligu to introduce you. ”
Ligu looked sad, looked at him, and said half-loudly: "If you see Your Highness in private, if the big housekeeper knows, you will be heavily responsible." It was only for the sake of His Highness's concern about the master that the slave and maid came out to see it. ”
"There's Aunt Lauri, I wonder if Miss can see it?"
"Hey!" Ligu sighed, "How did His Highness know that the Ghost Devouring Order had attacked the Cloud Mansion?" ”
"His guards found many graves in the mountains and forests of the Yun family. After the king went to check it out for himself...... It's just speculation, and since Ligu asked, it must be true. ”
"Your Highness really shouldn't disturb the rest of the dead. Those are the loyal guards of Yunfu. ”
Zhao Ting was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said, "This king is just in a hurry. You can rest assured that everything has been restored as it was. It was also worried about Miss Yun's safety that he took the liberty to investigate, which was offensive...... Is she okay? ”
Ligu's eyes suddenly turned red, "I shouldn't have said this, but the master was kidnapped by the ghost devourer, and the slave was really worried." Since His Highness has found out about this matter himself, he can no longer conceal it. If you can help find your master, the slaves and maids will repay Your Highness's great kindness as cattle and horses. ”
Zhao Ting was shocked, and the faint uneasiness in his heart turned out to come true.
"Ghost Eater? What happened? He asked eagerly.
"This incident happened the day after His Highness left last time after he was injured and left."
"Is she hurt?"
At that time, it was the time to attack Yangzhou. Zhao Ting only hated himself for not coming earlier.
Ligu shook her head.
"The slave and the maid don't know. On that day, the ghost devouring order struck, and the master ordered the slaves and maids and all the servants to retreat to the other courtyard for temporary shelter. After coming back, I didn't find the master, and the slave asked many times, and the chief manager gave a rough idea. If you ask more, you will be reprimanded, so the slave and maid only know so much. ”
Tears flowed down his eyes as he spoke, "The chief manager said that the master has made arrangements, so don't worry." But the slave and maid could see that he was also worried. Even if the master is very smart, he doesn't know martial arts after all, and he has never left the service of slaves and maids since he was a child. How can this be a slave and a maid not to worry!"
Zhao Ting's heart sank straight down, the ghost devouring made his heart ruthless, and he never lived, the key was that it was very mysterious, and he didn't have these underworld organizations in the rivers and lakes
Be sure.
But he still said firmly: "This king will definitely do his best to track her down and save her." ”
Ligu was slightly relieved, "Thank you, Your Highness!" It's just that it has to be done in secret, and you can't alarm the ghost devourer, so as not to hurt the master. Nor can the chief steward know that the slave and maid have revealed this matter to His Highness. ”
"Don't worry, even if the chief manager knows, this king only said that he found it. Now I'll go back and start investigating. Please also ask Ligu to send this king out. The king of the formation in this is really helpless. I couldn't find the bamboo forest I came to last time. ”
"This is the Seven Star Array created by my master, and it is a blinding array."
"It's wonderful!" Zhao Ting couldn't help but admire, thinking that a smart and beautiful person like her had been kidnapped, and her life and death were uncertain, she was even more anxious and worried.
In any case, she is a life-saving benefactor, and she is responsible for herself.
"Your Highness, please come with the slaves!" Ligu said as she led the way ahead.
Zhao Ting followed her out, silently noting her steps, thinking that if she came again in the future, she would not get lost.
Ligu sent him to the side of the road where they were separated last time, and Zhao Ting hurriedly said goodbye.
