Chapter 460: Dawn (9)
In the early hours of the morning, it was still a little early, and it was only a little pale like a fish's belly.
Gong Xiu and Gong Meng, who had just finished freshening up, left Wangjiang Tower and came to the Fang Market not far from the mouth of the alley to hang out.
At this time, the market is still very lively, the vendors selling ingredients have already occupied the stalls, shouting hard, the little girl carrying a bamboo basket, hurry up to buy some fresh fruits and vegetables, if the time is in the evening, these relatively fresh ingredients will be sold out quickly. Gong Xiu was also happy to see her bargaining with the hawkers, perhaps because of her young age, most of those hawkers would give up some profits and deliberately let the little girl buy some cheap ingredients.
Until passing through the streets of Fangshi, the little girl's bamboo basket was already full of thick piles, looking at her satisfied appearance after "fighting", Gong Xiu couldn't help but quip.., "It seems that our family is cute and cute, and it is still very popular outside." ”
"What's the matter, it's obviously a young lady. The little girl's face was a little red and her smile was shy.
"Uh, why me?" Gong Xiu blinked.
"Because the young lady is prettier than me!" said the little girl, in a heartfelt voice.
"You've learned to be poor. Gong Xiu glanced at her, she didn't have any way to deal with this kind of poor-mouthed guy.
The master and servant had been walking down the street, laughing and laughing as they went, and they seemed to have noticed nothing of the spies hiding in the crowd, or perhaps they themselves were turning a blind eye.
When the two of them walked to Baihu Street, they suddenly saw a large number of people gathered together, as if they were looking at something against a wall.
The master and servant were a little strange, and after glancing at each other, they immediately walked over.
“...... I heard that the doctors in the neighborhood who know how to heal have all been warned by the Governor's Mansion of the Naval Army. ”
"When did Baiyun City have this kind of yamen?"
"You still don't know, this is the stronghold of Taihe Palace coordinating the naval forces around the West Sea, so as to be stationed in Baiyun City, this is this in Baiyun City!" The man stretched out his thumb, as if he was slightly yearning for the authority of the Naval Governor's Mansion.
"However, if you want to be treated recently, it will be delayed for a while, and those neighbors are complaining!"
"Why delay?" the questioner was a little strange.
"It seems to be a matter of the Governor's Mansion of the Naval Army, many doctors have been pulled to treat what kind of demon poison, it is said that the warship that supervises the transportation of materials on the front line has been attacked by the Kraken in the sea area, and many divine soldiers have been scratched by the Kraken and bitten by the Kraken, and even some of the Divine Generals of the Naval Governor are unconscious. These things were told to me by Baochai, the maidservant of Mrs. Wang on the street. The man looked up a little proudly, "Mrs. Wang's younger brother is now working as an errand in the Governor's Mansion of the Navy Army, and Mrs. Wang's maidservant is my cousin!"
It's just that for this kind of show-off, the people around him laughed and didn't say anything, only Gong Xiu on the side was slightly stunned, and asked the man.."That...... Has the demon poison been cured?"
"No, it is said that many doctors are helpless, and the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is not okay with heavy rewards. ”
"What does that Kraken look like?"
"I know this!" an old man on the side cleared his throat, and deliberately muffled his voice like a storyteller in a restaurant. The eyes are round, glowing, and the eyes are sharp. He is about four feet tall, with slender hands and feet, secreting fishy mucus, and looks like a child among humans, and when he opens his mouth, he will reveal two rows of steel thorn-like teeth......"
The people around him are funny, and although there is an element of exaggeration, you can probably guess the appearance of this monster.
I don't know why, at this moment, Gong Xiu suddenly blurted out: "Sea monkeys......"
"What, Miss?"
"Uh......" Gong Xiu was stunned, as if her actions just now scared her, which made Gong Xiu's expression a little strange.
Thinking of something, she blinked slightly, and her expression became gloomy.."It's nothing, let's go." ”
She didn't talk about such things, especially in the market, because every time she thought about it, it made her feel something strange, as if she had been stripped naked and left in the crowd to show off.
She has always been a little wary of this kind of thing, if it is not necessary, Gong Xiu does not want to expose those memories hidden in her mind.
The little girl didn't know this, besides, the child's emotions came and went quickly, the two bought some things on the side of the road, and when they arrived at an iron shop, they had already forgotten what had just happened, and spent some money to buy some precious metals, and when they came back, it was almost noon, and as soon as they returned to the courtyard, they locked themselves in the house and tinkered with her big lump of things, and they also came from the kitchen and the pharmacy, and the little girl made a meal, but seeing that the young lady had not come out yet, she was hot several times in a row, and the last time she couldn't help but lie on the table and dozed off。
At this time, the season has become slightly cool, especially at dusk, the temperature has become cold, Gong Meng lying on the table is not wearing much, so suddenly a spirit, can't help sneezing, rubbing his loose eyes, and found that the food has been cold, quite annoyed and hurriedly put the food into the food box, and she carried it in the direction of the kitchen.
The sun on the horizon has set, the clouds are red, and the reflection seems to become red, reflected on the tiles next door, the little girl looks interesting, can't help but look at it twice, after slowing down, there is already a layer of clouds and mist slowly rising, along the clouds on the horizon, it looks like a burning cloud, but the next moment, the smoke is thick, and the red flame jumps out of the tile gap of the next house like rattan branches and leaves, beating on the eaves of the entire courtyard.
The little girl's eyes widened, and she finally realized that the courtyard next door was running water, and just as she was about to shout, a cry of "ah-" tore through the fire, followed by the sound of metal crashing and the collapse of the house, at this time, she had realized that something was wrong, as if the courtyard next door was not just a matter of water.
The chaotic sound next door continued to pass over, becoming clearer and clearer, the danger was approaching, Gong Xiu suddenly came back to his senses, subconsciously ran away, in the process of running, the wall connecting the next door exploded in vain, and a bloody figure was split over, "Bang-" sound, broke an octagonal pavilion pillar in the courtyard, and was pressed by the scattered tiles Half of his body, this person spit blood, vaguely saw the fragments of internal organs, obviously unable to live.
"Ahh
At the same time, the sound of breaking wind sounded, and a black shadow suddenly rushed out of the flames next door, as fast as electricity, and a huge palm appeared in front of Xiu'er's eyes, constantly expanding, as if encompassing all the light, the little girl didn't have time to think about it, and quickly threw out the food box in her hand, but it became shattered at the moment it touched the air, and the black shadow palm was fierce, and it was only a stone's throw away from her forehead.
......
......
In the courtyard where the afterglow poured out, the little girl watched in a daze as a black shadow fell like a goshawk, the exaggerated and somewhat excessive giant palm was constantly promoted, the roar of compressed air was controlled in a small area, the light was distorted, and the small and exquisite figure seemed to be smashed in the next moment!
"Boom-"
The wooden door behind him burst in vain - it was Gong Xiu's door, countless small debris like flying in the sky, slashing towards the black shadow, because the speed was too fast, the friction between the debris and the air formed a blazing white spark, the blood light bloomed in the moment of cutting through the air, scarlet appeared, countless tiny squares fell, and when they fell to the ground, they could already smell a scorched smell.
A slender palm suddenly stretched out from behind Gong Meng, pulling her behind her, the woman in the green shirt took a few steps forward, waved her big hand, and flew the corpse on the ground with a move, and when she stood with her hands, the invisible gravitational magnetic field had shrouded within three zhang, and there were countless particles of floating dust running at high speed in this range.
......
......
The sound of the fighting next door has gradually weakened, several rows of tall houses are smoking, and the wings on the east side have already collapsed, I don't know if they were burned by the flames or pierced by the aftermath of the monks' battle, the crackling cracking sound sounded, the burning continued, Gong Xiu squinted his eyes, but stared at the person on the wall.
It was a man wrapped in a black cloak - vaguely recognizable as a woman.
This person must have been on it for a long time, looking motionless at what was happening below, her eyes were a little strange and a little surprised...... There seemed to be something else, the two looked at each other quietly for a few seconds, and there was a soft whistle next door, and after hearing this sound, the body of the woman on the wall trembled slightly, and Gong Xiu sensed that she seemed to be laughing, yes, this mysterious woman was laughing, as if she had found something very interesting to her.
The breeze blew, the smoke was still drifting, but the woman on the wall disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Courtyard.
Gong Xiu couldn't help frowning, and a bad feeling rose in her heart.
She will also meet that woman, and that woman is in trouble - Gong Xiu has this hunch, and besides, a woman's hunch has always been accurate......
......
......
The finishing work of this matter was in charge of the Monk Division, one of the three divisions of the Yin Yang Sect, a burly middle-aged man with a large number of people blocked the entire street, the fire had been extinguished, the good hands of the Patrol Division were surveying the scene, corpses were arranged in a row, and the extraction of many traces was also continuing.
Here in Wangjiang Tower, Dong Taixuan has already received the news, after all, it is the base camp of Baiyun City that has been attacked, this sudden change is not only provoking the Yin Yang Sect and the Ancient Dojo, but also from the surface, this group of thieves has advanced and retreated in a certain way, and they are extremely quick to set fire to and kill people, obviously not ordinary monks, and even the clues left are very few, except for the body left by Gong Xiu, there is nothing left at the scene, and no obvious traces have been checked, if it is not done well, it is another headless case, besides, there is more than that。
It turned out that the courtyard next door to Gongxiu was not an ordinary institution, but a transfer department yamen that accepted the coordination of Taihe Palace, and at the time of the incident, two gods of Taihe Palace also died in the mansion, so the nature of this matter became different, after all, the people of Taihe Palace died, who knows if there is any other inside story in this, if it involves some secret work, it will be even more troublesome, besides, this case is still quite strange, dare to rush into the operation of the Yamen in broad daylight and set fire to kill, itself speaks of the problem。
- There is no fear!
Looking at the heavy atmosphere in the room, Gong Xiu said casually: "Those people may not have come to kill people." ”
Dong Taixuan glanced at Gong Xiu in surprise and nodded, but did not speak.
After all, this kind of thing involves Taihe Palace, and a lot of things will become big trouble if they are touched slightly, and Dong Taixuan obviously doesn't want to find trouble, so in the face of this kind of thing, his expression is a little hesitant.
Homicide...... You don't have to set fire, since those people are working on the opposite side, it is very likely that they are covering up some important clues, after all, Dakai first saw the fire, and then heard the sound of fighting, that group of people fought for a short time, the speed is so fast, obviously has an overwhelming advantage, and the operation of the Yamen is responsible for supervising the transportation of grain and grass, and there are gods of Taihe Palace in it, and the masters of this level are easily killed, obviously there are more powerful masters who sneak in and kill these two gods on the spot.
Slightly restraining his thoughts, Dong Taixuan glanced at Gong Xiu without a trace.
"What does Miss Gong think about this?"
"I?heh......" Gong Xiu shook her head, "I'm a little girl, how could I know about such a thing." ”
"Miss Gong's methods today don't look like an ordinary little woman. Du Taixuan was a little smiling.
The murderer who was killed by the other party still exposed some of Gong Xiu's details, and the sudden Dao method was enough to surprise Gong Xiu's strong methods, after all, before Gong Xiu came to Wangjiang Tower, Dong Taixuan couldn't see what kind of realm the other party was in, and until now, he didn't see the other party's heel clearly......
