Chapter 143: Entering the Wolf's Den by Mistake

In shock, Li Ding kept looking around, because there were too many things on the wide street that he had never seen before. The vendors kept shouting, and the shops on both sides were full of people, and he was a little overwhelmed by all kinds of novelties.

"Little brother, haven't you been to Gusang City before?" Zhong Hong's question brought Li Ding back to his senses.

Li Ding smiled faintly, shook his head, and said, "My sister and I also just arrived here, but unfortunately we accidentally ......."

Thinking of Liu Ling, Li Ding couldn't say anything, Zhong Hong patted him on the shoulder and said: "Don't worry, if your sister really enters the city, someone will definitely see it, you can inquire slowly, and my lord has some friendship with the generals guarding the city, I can help you ask, see if those officers and soldiers on duty have seen your sister." ”

"Officers and soldiers?" Li Ding listened blankly and couldn't help blurting out.

"Ah!" Zhong Hong replied, "It's those people who are guarding the city gate." ”

"I'm afraid, I'm afraid that my sister didn't take this path. Li Ding said.

Zhong Hong smiled and said: "You can rest assured of this, you should have also seen it, Gusang City is built on the mountain, with high mountains on both sides, although there is a vast plain in the east except for Cuiwei Mountain, but only one road here can smoothly enter and exit the Yulong Mountain Range, so this place will be so prosperous." ”

Hearing Zhong Hong's words, Li Ding nodded in surprise, and Zhong Hong continued: "Gusang City has two gates, east and west, and we enter the east gate, and we can go out of the city to the direction of Wangcheng along this street to the west. ”

"Go to Wangcheng, will my sister already leave the city?" asked Li Ding.

Zhong Hong frowned slightly, and said: "It's hard to say, the city gate opens every day at the end of the day, and closes at the end of the day, during which the officers and soldiers guarding the city will keep changing, but as long as your sister passes by here, I think they will have some impressions." ”

As he spoke, the carriage turned right from the street to another street, and at this moment, Li Ding's body suddenly shook, jumped down and grabbed the shoulder of the person in front of him and shouted, "Liu Ling." ”

The other party trembled in fright, turned his head in a panic, looked at Li Ding for a moment, and then shouted, so startled that Li Ding hurriedly let go of his hand and said, "Yes...... I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person. ”

The other party was a woman in a long green dress, and when she saw this, she scolded with a bad face: "Are you sick?"

Only then did Li Ding see that although the woman was also wearing a green dress, it was much more gorgeous than Liu Ling's, and seeing that the woman was wearing gold and silver, she was also dressed with a luxurious atmosphere, so she quickly said sorry again, and the woman scolded and walked away.

Li Ding turned his head with a sluggish expression, and found Zhong Hong standing behind him looking at him helplessly, he lowered his head and was about to speak Zhong Hong spoke first: "I can understand your feelings, but this matter is not in a hurry, you have also seen that there is a large population in the city, and it is a little difficult to find someone." ”

Li Ding had to admit this, so he had to return to the carriage with Zhong Hong. As soon as I sat down, the voice of Miss Zhong in the car sounded: "You calm down first, and when you get home, I will immediately ask my father to take you to Mr. Chen, it is still easy to have him help find someone." ”

Hearing these soft words, Li Ding's heart moved, and his mood naturally relaxed a lot, but his eyes still kept searching back and forth.

After a short time, after turning another street, the carriage stopped in front of a gate. To Li Ding's surprise, the people inside the door seemed to know that someone was coming, and as soon as the carriage stopped, he didn't have time to get off, and two small servants came out of the gate, one stabilized the horse's head, and the other skillfully put a horse stool in front of the car.

Li Ding and Zhong Hong jumped out of the car, and with a "bang", the door of the carport opened, and with a hint of fragrance, Miss Zhong walked out in a light blue shirt, which made Li Ding's eyes light up.

With a plain and clean face, under the slender eyebrows, a pair of bright eyes flashed with a strange look, and the tall nose was particularly prominent, making her appearance show a different kind of beauty.

As if noticing that Li Ding was looking at her, Miss Zhong jumped around, bypassed the stool and fell directly to the ground, her tall figure straightened, and a smile slipped across the corner of her mouth and said to Li Ding: "Please come in." ”

Li Ding didn't expect that Miss Zhong was half a head taller than him, and a trace of charm that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts suddenly appeared in her eyes, which made Li Ding's heart tremble. Suddenly, Li Ding remembered something, this kind of look, this kind of feeling he had felt a long time ago.

Li Ding hurriedly lowered his head for a moment, but when he looked up again, he saw that Miss Zhong was still looking at him, which made him a little cramped, but fortunately, this Zhong Hong said: "Little brother, go in, I will talk about it when I see my master." ”

Following Uncle Hong towards the gate, Li Ding breathed a sigh of relief and didn't dare to look at Miss Zhong again. At this time, Xiao Dan's voice suddenly sounded: "What, isn't it just a beautiful girl? ”

Hearing this, Li Ding immediately said in his heart: "I'm not familiar with it, so I won't keep staring at others, but ...... Her eyes are really a little ......" Li Ding wanted to speak and stopped, because Miss Zhong's eyes were like a person, and Li Ding didn't dare to look at her directly.

For a while, Li Ding had almost forgotten the existence of that person, but at that moment just now, she clearly saw the shadow of that person from Miss Zhong - Ye Xinyi's shadow.

That kind of look is fascinating but unsettling, and Li Ding never knew what kind of purpose Ye Xinyi had for him back then.

In an instant, some past events appeared in Li Ding's mind, Hua Rong, Ye Xinyi, Ye Lei, and those who entered the enchantment together, Li Ding suddenly wanted to know what happened to them now after that accident.

Especially Hua Rong, seeing that the one-year appointment was approaching, Li Ding knew that if nothing else, Hua Yang would definitely go to Wangcheng to participate in the Alchemist Conference, and maybe he would be able to see Hua Rong at that time. Thinking of everything he has experienced in the past year, Li Ding guessed if this little girl has broken through the boundaries and taken her strength to the next level?

"It's like it's here. Xiao Dan's voice pulled Li Ding back from his memory, and when Li Ding looked up, he realized that he seemed to have walked a long way, and was now standing in a huge patio surrounded by houses.

In the center of the patio is a large circular flower bed with a pool, several trickles on the weird rockery flow from the top, and the mossy rocks are scattered with all kinds of flowers, Li Ding noticed that there are a few flowers and plants that can be used as medicine, and he was curious and wanted to go up to see what was going on, and Zhong Hong's voice behind him suddenly sounded: "Little brother, my lord has promised to see you." ”

Li Ding was stunned, so he had to turn around and follow Uncle Hong to a room. When I entered the house, I saw a middle-aged man with a white face and a gorgeous beard sitting on a chair in the center of the lobby, tasting a cup of tea.

Seeing Li Ding come in, Master Zhong glanced at Zhong Hong behind him, Zhong Hong immediately motioned for Li Ding to sit on the chair next to him, while he was still standing in place and bowed his head slightly, Li Ding noticed that a cup of hot tea had been placed on the coffee table next to him.

After another sip of tea, Master Zhong said, "Little brother's name is Li Ding, I heard Zhong Hong say that you and your sister came from the east and accidentally got separated on the road." ”

Li Ding just replied "yes", and Master Zhong said again: "Don't worry, just now I have already gone to ask General Chen from the ward, if your sister has entered the city, there should be news soon." ”

Of course, Li Ding couldn't tell Zhong Hong that he was coming down from Cuiwei Mountain, he only said that he and Liu Ling came from the east to see the Alchemist Conference, although he couldn't withstand too much interrogation, but he would not tell the other party the truth as soon as he was moved like he did in the face of Qing Yanzi, even if the other party really had no malicious intent.

However, when he heard Master Zhong say this, Li Ding hurriedly stood up and said, "Thank you Master Zhong, but Li Ding wants to ask in person as soon as possible, if the little sister has already gone out of the city to the royal city, I will also go to catch up as soon as possible." ”

Master Zhong put down the teacup and said with a light smile: "It seems that you really have a deep brother and sister relationship?" But this matter is really not in a hurry, what is brewed on the coffee table next to you is my treasured "Jade Dragon Spring Buds", which is collected from the top of the snow-capped mountains of the Jade Dragon Mountains, but the tribute to the royal family, you can taste it first, so that the person who went to Chen Zongbing for questioning should almost come back. ”

Li Ding hesitated, but still sat down and picked up the teacup and sniffed it. Although he stayed in Jinguangmen for a while, Li Ding rarely drank tea, and when he smelled this jade dragon spring bud, he only felt a refreshing feeling of light fragrance, and he wanted to take a sip of it at the moment.

However, as soon as the teacup touched his lips, Xiao Dan's voice suddenly sounded: "Be careful, there is something wrong with this tea!"

Li Ding's heart sank, and the hand serving the tea couldn't help but tremble slightly, but fortunately he didn't spill the tea. His sudden frown did not escape Master Zhong's eyes, and Master Zhong said in some surprise: "What's the matter, little brother, don't you like the taste of this tea?"

Maybe Master Zhong originally meant to urge Li Ding to drink tea, but Li Ding lost no time in putting down the teacup and said: "It's not that I don't like it, to be honest, it's actually Li Ding who doesn't understand tea at all, and he hasn't drunk it much, but he just feels that this tea smells very fragrant, but it is always a glass of water, and there is no pleasure from drinking." ”

Hearing Li Ding's words, Master Zhong was surprised again, but suddenly smiled: "Hehe, it turns out that the little brother is also a person with the surname Lover, and this cup of tea is indeed a little unworthy of the little brother, since this is the case, when dinner is later, I will definitely accompany the little brother to have a good drink." ”

Li Ding knew that he actually didn't drink very much, otherwise Tong Zhusheng would not have drunk that night, and he just blurted out in a hurry, but he didn't want to be this Master Zhong immediately grabbed the handle and brought the words out.

Although he didn't know what was going on, Li Ding already knew that there was something strange in this, so he stood up again and said, "Master Zhong, it's still early this day, if you can, Li Ding wants to know the result now, because I'm really not worried about my little sister's safety." After speaking, he arched his hand and looked at Master Zhong.

Master Zhong frowned quietly, the smile on his face remained unchanged, and said to Zhong Hong: "That's it, Zhong Hong, you hurry up and see if the people who went have come back, I think the little brother really can't wait." ”

Zhong Hong answered "yes" and turned around and walked out of the door, but only for a moment, the four black-clothed men walked in and stood with their chests crossed, looking at Li Ding with unkind eyes.

For a moment, Li Ding understood that he should have met a bad guy, and turned his head to look at Master Zhong, only to see that he was also staring at him with a sinister smile. (To be continued.) )
