Chapter 29: The Trap

"In short, the words of just the four of us are too inefficient now, and we need to mobilize all suspicious resources to find Dong Xin and them. Chu Qi said.

"If it is in this Guangfu City, it should be a relatively big help to use the soldiers in the city to help the investigation. Ye Qing said, turned to look at Gao Lie and said, "Gao Lie, let's go and find the city lord here, if I'm not mistaken, this person should be called Li Shi." ”

Gao Lie nodded, and Ye Qing said to Meng Ran again: "You first start an investigation with Chu Qi in those three most likely places, and we must find them out as soon as possible." ”

After discussing like this, Ye Qing and Gao Lie got up and left the inn directly and went straight to the City Lord's Mansion.

Li Shi, the city lord of Guangfu City, Ye Qing also had a relationship, on Ye Feng's birthday, Li Shi had visited, but Li Shi's personality was very strange, he didn't seem to be able to talk to other people, but Ye Qing chatted for a long time with a wine jug, so Ye Qing was also quite impressed by this person.

Coming to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, the guards went to report first, and after a while, Li Xi himself went out directly to greet him.

"Ye Xiaohou, it's been a long time!"

Li Xian arched his hands and walked out, and when he saw Gao Lie behind Ye Qing, Li Xian didn't seem to know him, but he didn't care too much.

Ye Qing also replied and said, "Lord Li, I came here this time to ask for something, and I ask my lord to help me with this." ”

"Oh?" Hearing that Ye Qing had something to ask for, Li Xi made a gesture of invitation and said, "Little Hou Ye, let's discuss in the inner room." ”

The three of them approached the inner room and sat down, but Li Shi spoke first: "Little Marquis, you are the marquis's concubine of the imperial capital, what can be the help of the people from the wild town on my side." ”

"Ling Ping's disaster, you should have heard about it. Ye Qing said straight to the point.

Li Xi nodded.

"That group of people committed a crime near Qingyun City again, we are here to track their whereabouts this time, and according to the information we have had, it is very likely that this is the place where they will commit the crime next time. Ye Qing said.

As soon as Ye Qing's voice fell, Li Xi was also stunned for a moment: "I only know about Ling Ping's incident, and I just got the news yesterday, I really heard about Qingyun City." Are they going to attack me again?"

"Therefore, I also asked the city lord to help the whole city to impose martial law and find out those people. Ye Qing said.

"No problem. ”

Li Xi agreed, and immediately recruited a subordinate to let him convey his order, from now on, the whole city will be under martial law, and no one is allowed to enter and leave Guangfu City.

"In addition, little marquis, I hope that your actions can take me, after all, this matter is aimed at our recovery city. ”

Ye Qing glanced at Li Shi and nodded.

Just when Ye Qing was discussing the action plan with Li Xian, Chu Qi and Meng Ran on the other side had already arrived at one of the three locations.

This is an inn, and the second floor of the inn has a slight spatial fluctuation spreading outward. Meng Ran and Chu Qi were sitting on the first floor by the window, discussing.

"Master Meng, you are guarding outside, I'll go in and take a look. If there is any suspicious person during this period, please try to stop him as much as possible. Chu Qi said to Meng Ran.

Meng Ran nodded. Then Chu Qi also stood up and walked to a corner, and without anyone noticing, her body disappeared directly out of thin air.

Meng Ran sat by the window, paying close attention to the door of the inn and the crowd of people coming and going in the inn.

On the other side, after Ye Qing and Li Shi discussed, it was decided that Li Shi would send people to search for Dong Xindi's traces from house to house, while Ye Qing, Meng Ran and Gao Lie would go to join Chu Qi and the two.

After this arrangement, the three of them were just about to move, when they heard a continuous explosion like firecrackers coming from a certain direction. The three of them suddenly felt bad, and immediately set off and rushed in that direction.

......

And the source of the explosion was the inn where Chu Qi and Meng Ran were.

On the second floor of the inn, a figure broke through the window and jumped down from the upper floor, and this person was Chu Qi who went up to investigate.

Hearing this movement, Meng Ran also rushed directly to the second floor.

Could it be that they found the place where they set up their formation all at once?" Meng Ran thought to himself, but he felt that something was wrong. However, when he suddenly turned around, there were only diners fleeing in all directions.

Is it because you are thinking too much......

Meng Ran ran up to the second floor, only to see that the door of the guest room in front of him had been blown up, and there was a slight flame in the house. Meng Ran walked in, a large area of the room was scorched, and the bed in the guest room was the most serious, and the entire bed was blown to pieces.

Through the window, Meng Ran saw Chu Qi downstairs.

"Hey, how are you!" Meng Ran shouted at Chu Qi.

"I'm fine, but here's a trap they've laid and we have to move on to the next place right away. ”

After Chu Qi finished speaking, Meng Ran also jumped down from the second floor.

"Since they will ambush here, it means that our speculation is plausible. Meng Ran said.

"Move fast, and the next place is likely to be the target location. ”

Just as Chu Qi and the others had just left, they saw two people running over. One of them was Gao Lie, while the other was the city lord Li Xi.

"Hey, what's going on!" Gao Lie shouted and ran over.

"There was an ambush. Meng Ran said, then looked at the two people in front of him and asked, "Where is A-Qing?"

Hearing Meng Ran's words, the two of them seemed to have just noticed this problem, Ye Qing was actually gone, it should have been separated when they rushed over together just now?

"Don't worry about Ye Qing, with his strength, there will definitely be nothing else, now the four of us will go to the next target location first, Ye Qing and he will catch up." Chu Qi said.

After thinking about it for a while, everyone agreed to Chu Qi's proposal, but Meng Ran always felt that Chu Qi seemed to be a little too anxious......

The four of them came to the second target location together. And here, it's a brothel.

As soon as the four of them entered the door, the old bustard of the brothel greeted him first, and when he saw Li Shi among the four, the old bustard was also shocked, thinking that he had not done anything, how could he attract the city lord to come.

"Shut the door, no one will be allowed to enter or leave from now on!" Li Xian shouted.

The city lord spoke, how dare these people disobey, and all the doors were closed with a creak. The four of them searched a brothel together.

On the second floor, Chu Qi pushed open the door one by one, and there were basically some men and women inside, who were having fun with fish and water. Until the last door around the corner.

As soon as I opened the door, there was a boxy red jade stone in the center of the table in the room. Chu Qi stepped forward and reached out to take it, but at this moment, a person suddenly fell on top of her head, almost knocking Chu Qi to the ground. When he looked up, it was Dong Xin, and he picked up the piece of jade and grinned at Chu Qi.

"That's not going to work, if you destroy it, I'll be in trouble. ”

"Even you came forward in person, so it means that this is the real array. Chu Qi looked at Dong Xin and asked.

"Who knows. Dong Xin looked at Chu Qi with a smile and walked towards her.

"Do you want to make two moves with me, senior sister?"

In the face of Chu Qi's provocative question, Chu Qi's face could not see any emotional changes, Chu Qi's palm moved slightly, and a tongue of fire came out of her sleeve and went straight to Dong Xin.

However, when the tongue of fire was half a meter away in front of Dong Xin, it suddenly stopped moving.

"What a nuisance. ”

Chu Qi snorted coldly, and the tongue of fire instantly dispersed, wrapping all around Dong Xin in the form of a net.

Under the shroud of the fire net, it was obvious that the invisible protective power around Dong Xin's body took on the shape of a ball, protecting Dong Xin's entire body in the middle.

"Your flames are not quite troublesome, I remember that in the past battles, I would be defeated by your weird flames every time. Dong Xin said this, but there was no trace of panic on his face.

Chu Qi raised his hand slightly, aimed at Dong Xin, and then shook his palm, and the fire net Meng Ran contracted, compressing Dong Xin's defensive force sharply, and in an instant, the area was less than half of what it was at the beginning.

However, at this moment, Dong Xin's hand suddenly saw a movement. I saw him stretch out his finger and aim at a certain place in the fire net, and with a slight touch of his finger, the fire net gradually went out.

"In the past, Senior Sister's flame would not be extinguished so easily. Chu Qi looked at Dong Xin and smiled.

"Oh?" Chu Qi also smiled at Dong Xin, she pulled it out of thin air with one hand, and an endless sea of fire suddenly burst out of the entire room and wrapped every part of this room, including the ceiling above the two of them, but the place where the flame was attached did not burn, it seemed that this was a sealing technique, and the purpose was to trap Dong Xin here.

The huge spiritual power fluctuations caused by the battle between Chu Qi and Dong Xin attracted the attention of the other three almost instantly.

That is, at the same time that the sea of fire filled this room, Gao Lie, Meng Ran, and Li Xian came to Chu Qi at the same time. The sea of fire in front of them also surprised the three of them. This kind of scene is not something that ordinary people can do.

Seeing the arrival of these three people, Chu Qi also opened a gap in the sea of fire for the three of them to come in.

"One-on-four, that's a bit of a bad thing. Dong Xin said, but there was still no trace of panic on his face.

"Senior sister, how about we make a deal?" Dong Xin proposed.

"What do you want to say. Chu Qi asked.

"I'll give you this thing, and you let me go back, how about it? ”

Hearing this, Chu Qi did not respond, but controlled the flames that filled the entire room to attack east and west.

The battle was about to break out, and the three of them, Meng Ran, Gao Lie, and Li Xian, also immediately rushed towards Dong Xin. Among the three, Gao Lie is in the front, Li Xian is in the middle, and Meng Ran is in the end.

After experiencing Ling Ping's battle, Meng Ran knew how terrible Dong Xin was, because he didn't know when he would be able to pull out a magic circle and put the enemy in a desperate situation. Although Chu Qi is here today, it is better to be careful in everything.

As soon as the Red Flame Mercury Knife came out, the blade of the knife turned blood-red almost instantly. Gao Lie controlled the blade and slashed at Dong Xin's body, but Dong Xin easily dodged it. And Gao Lie missed, and the attacks of Meng Ran and Li Shi followed one after another, and the attacks of the three of them combined with Chu Qi's flames were like a raging storm, so that Dong Xin was overwhelmed and could only keep dodging.

And the more Dong Xin dodged and didn't have the strength to fight back, the more uneasy Meng Ran's heart became.

This is not Dong Xin's fighting style at all, judging from the previous encounter, Dong Xin must have made all preparations before making a move with others, and now it looks like he has been sneak attacked, and he only cares about dodging the opponent's attack, and he has never even fought back with his face.

However, even like this, Dong Xin gives people the feeling that he is not lagging behind at all, and even seems to be at ease. Obviously he was just dodging.

"Senior sister, I can't hold it anymore, can't you let me go?" Dong Xin struck up with Chu Qi while fighting.

Chu Qi didn't give him any response. And now the movements in Chu Qi's hands are getting faster and faster, and the frequency of the flame's attacks is getting higher and higher, whenever there is an interval between the attacks of the three people in front of him, there will always be a beam of flame that he doesn't know where to come out to fill this gap.

After dozens of moves, Dong Xin's defense seemed to have finally made a mistake, and at this moment, almost all the attacks poured towards Dong Xin's body like a raging storm at that moment.

Boom!

There was a boom that made people's eardrums rattle a little. Several people stood in the flames and looked at Dong Xin's position, but the flames there were too dense to know what was going on inside.

When the flames dissipated, Dong Xin was not seen inside.

"Where are the people?" Gao Lie shouted, holding the Red Flame Mercury Knife in his hand.

With a wave of Chu Qi's hand, the flames in the room dispersed, and Dong Xin was no longer seen in the room, and where Dong Xin was before, there was only a boxy jade lying there quietly.

Chu Qi stepped forward, glanced at the jade, and reached out to pick it up.

However, just as Chu Qi's fingertips touched the piece of jade, a voice came in from outside the door.

"Stop! That's a trap!"
