Master is missing!
This news completely messed me up. I hurriedly put on my clothes and got up, and rushed to the Master's room to check.
Master's ordinary items are still there, and Master's peachwood sword is still there, but Master himself is gone......
At this time, the Night General came back from outside with a croak, and it seemed to have known the news for a long time, and flew out to find the whereabouts of the master.
However, as soon as General Ye came back, he shook his head and said: "There is nothing in the nearby mountains, I have chased it all the way to the bottom of the mountain, and I have seen all the corners, and there is no trace of Lao Zheng!" โ
This makes me despair. General Night's aerial vision during the day is very large, and there are not many places on Lion Ridge where he can hide his figure, since General Night has not seen Master, this means that Master has indeed left Lion Ridge.
Saying goodbye? But why did Master do this? Does Master know some secrets that I don't know yet, or something he hasn't told me?
At the critical moment, General Ye was relatively old-fashioned, and he asked us not to worry, think about where Master might go, or find someone to help. Nanjing is so big, far from being more than one Lion Ridge, and with our manpower, it is too difficult to find an old man in such a huge city.
I sat down quickly, trying to clear my head as much as possible, and thought about what help I could find at the moment.
Because of the affairs of the Shangqing faction, many Xuanmen factions in Nanjing City could not become our backup, and after thinking about it, I could only think of three people.
The first person is Jiang Ren, although Comrade Jiang has not been in Nanjing for a long time, but this guy is a social controller, and his network must have been laid, plus he has been doing real estate work, and there should be certain resources in various residential areas in Nanjing.
The second person is Hong Ming, Mr. Hong's status is respected, and of course his resources are abundant, he may be able to help.
The third person is Zheng Shihuan, his own grandfather is lost, and he should do his part no matter what.
I called these people in order, Lao Jiang and Mr. Hong both said that they were duty-bound to help, and they would definitely use all the resources in their hands to help me find the master, and finally the call went to Zheng Shihuan, and this kid was also messy after hearing the news.
Zheng Shihuan asked me when this happened, and I said that I found out this morning, and last night there were a few young people from the Shangqing faction who came to provoke me and were beaten away by me.
Zheng Shihuan was stunned when he heard this, and even said that he wanted to come over and have a look.
Anyway, finding the master is not something that can be completed in a while, so I asked Zheng Shihuan to come over.
Zheng Shihuan arrived quickly, and when he came, his face was very ugly, and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and it could be seen that he was not only worried about the disappearance of his master, but also seemed to have something in his heart that made him anxious.
Zheng Shihuan briefly inquired about last night's incident, then he was silent, just drank water one by one, and drank three bottles of mineral water without much effort.
This kind of performance is very abnormal, a person will only keep drinking water when he is extremely nervous or weak, drinking water can help a person who wants to confide in some secrets to shut up, so judging from Zheng Shihuan's reaction, he must have some secrets, and he is struggling with whether to tell me or not.
Considering my previous speculation about Zheng Shihuan, I am even more sure in my heart: Zheng Shihuan must have something to hide from me, and this time he called me back to Nanjing City, not because of the Maoshan wanted warrant!
I glanced at Panda and General Night, and then dragged Zheng Shihuan into the living room.
Panda and Night General stood guard at the door, leaving us plenty of private space.
Closing the door, I asked Zheng Shihuan if there was anything that hadn't been told to me why Master seemed to be a different person these days, depressed and lifeless.
When I asked him this, Zheng Shihuan's face became abnormal, his cold sweat gradually increased, his face turned white, he asked me tremblingly, what do you mean by this?
I sneered and said what do you mean, your expression has betrayed you.
Zheng Shihuan unscrewed a bottle of mineral water again, and before I could drink it, I snatched Zheng Shihuan's water over and asked him: "Don't be in a hurry to drink water first, explain Master's affairs clearly, and it's not too late to drink water." โ
Zheng Shihuan smiled bitterly: "Xiao Yang, you also know that I have a general relationship with my grandfather...... Our grandfather and grandson don't communicate much on weekdays, if I really say that I have affected him in any way, it is that Chang Baxian and I have intrigued these days and hurt a few of his old friends in Nanjing......"
Speaking of this, Zheng Shihuan's voice was as thin as a mosquito. I knew that this might be the crux of the matter, so I quickly asked him, who had he hurt?
Zheng Shihuan smiled bitterly: "There are a few people from the Shangqing faction, and there are also a few people from the Zhengyi faction...... But these people were all in collusion with Chang Ba first, and I taught them a lesson......"
I slapped the table and said angrily: "These famous and decent families are the backers of your Zheng family in Nanjing City, why haven't Chang Baxian been brought down, and you have rebelled in the nest?" โ
Zheng Shihuan also had no choice but to spread his hands: "Who knows what kind of tricks Chang Baxian used, he seems to have invited a head lowering master from Southeast Asia, who is responsible for demagoguery, and in just a few words, he can make others die for him...... Mr. Tao Qiantao seems to have been rebelled against in this way......"
Speaking of which, Zheng Shihuan finally told the truth, I have long felt that Mr. Tao Qian, such a principled person, would never defect and become Chang Baxian's subordinate. He will suddenly become like this, either he will be hit by the head, or he will be ghosted, and it will never be his own choice.
I said resentfully, "Why didn't you tell me earlier if you knew about these things?" โ
Zheng Shihuan pretended to be compassionate and said: "You still have a Maoshan wanted warrant to deal with, I tell you that these will only distract you......"
As soon as I thought about it, what this kid said made some sense, so I stopped dwelling on him.
But deep down, I always felt that the reason why Master was so depressed must be much more than that.
Zheng Shihuan saw that I still wanted to ask, so he hurriedly excused himself to go to the toilet and escaped from the living room. I couldn't stop him, so I had to let him go.
As soon as he left, Panda and General Night entered. General Night asked me in a low voice, "Do you think this kid Zheng Shihuan is telling the truth?" โ
I was noncommittal, but General Ye explained his opinion: "I think this kid is very unreliable, what kind of means and mind can Lao Zheng become so depressed because of such a few trivial things? There must be one or two important reasons why Lao Zheng is depressed...... Xiao Yang, you can't just forget it, you have to keep an eye on Zheng Shihuan, this kid. Including this time he called you back to Nanjing, I even felt that there must be a problem. โ
General Ye's opinion coincided with mine, and I nodded hurriedly, ready to continue to keep an eye on Zheng Shihuan.
However, at this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of rummaging through the cabinets upstairs, and after a little thought, I understood what was happening: Zheng Shihuan, this kid, didn't come back to find his grandfather at all, this kid came back to find Master's copy of "Xuantian Secret Record"!
I hurriedly took the panda upstairs, pushed open the door of the master's room, and sure enough, I saw Zheng Shihuan, who had an excuse to go to the toilet, turned the master's room into a mess.
As soon as we entered the door, Zheng Shihuan stopped tossing, looked up at us in a panic, and asked, "You guys...... How did it come? โ
I snorted coldly and said angrily: "Zheng Shihuan, you just came to his room to look for Master just missing, isn't that okay?" โ
Zheng Shihuan smiled slightly, and didn't dare to turn his face against me and the panda, but said in a pleading tone: "I'm just looking for grandpa's belongings, in case he doesn't come back in the future, I have a thought......
This was very unlucky, and I said angrily: "Stinky boy, what are you talking about? Master, isn't this the first time you've gone out? Didn't he go to Yunnan a few days ago? Why didn't you come over last time to rummage through the cabinets, but this time you were so active? โ
Zheng Shihuan was asked by me, and suddenly sat down on the ground, and sighed: "Xiao Yang...... Don't you understand? Grandpa left this time because he thought he knew that he was about to die, and he didn't want to stay for us to see his death, so he left quietly......"
