Chapter 404: Tonggu Lake
As soon as Hu Lanjin left the town, a silent black shadow fell on her shoulder, it was the baby eagle. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
She was silent for a moment and muttered, "Sure enough, it's a group of insurgency, they already know my identity!"
The entourage of the leader said, "My lord, do you need to go back and catch them all!"
Hulan Jin said: "No need, these people are more useful alive than dead......! If the Rebels were able to find me, there must be an insider who leaked my whereabouts, and I'm afraid the rest of the road will not be peaceful!"
Hearing the word thief, the entourage all changed color.
Hu Lanjin smiled and said, "Don't be so nervous, the thief I said has nothing to do with any of you! When I left the ranch, my whereabouts were no longer a secret, and it was not surprising that I was guessed the route!"
The leader of the entourage bowed down and said, "Lord Xie trusts, and his subordinates are sworn to protect your safety!"
Hu Lanjin bowed slightly, she suddenly took out the letter, rubbed it gently, and turned into pieces of shredded paper and flew away like butterflies.
The leader of the retinue said, "My lord, is the letter also fake?"
Hu Lanjin shook his head: "No, the letter is true, and the Insurgency will naturally not make mistakes on this in order to win my trust." However, the information in the letter may not be true, and the content is too bizarre......
From now on, we need to move separately and rendezvous in Tonggu Town!"
Retinue Leader: "Your Excellency......"
Hu Lanjin suddenly untied the black cloak on his body and threw it to the leader of his entourage: "Put it on, you go first!"
The leader of the entourage looked at a pair of butterflies with wings about to fly at the collar of the cloak, and immediately understood, and arched his hand: "My lord, take care!" After speaking, he rode away.
Hu Lanjin patted the baby eagle on the shoulder, only to hear a soft sound, and the baby eagle rushed into the night sky again and disappeared.
Waiting for the sound of the horse's hooves to disappear completely, Hu Lanjin turned the horse's head and looked quietly at the town in the dark.
......
On the edge of the town, there is another diner next to the deserted noodle stall.
The noodle stall owner still looks honest, holding his hands against the stove to keep warm, and from time to time he looks at the unhurried diners.
The other party ate very carefully, and almost finished eating the noodles in the bowl one by one.
The diner pushes open the empty bowl and taps his fingers on the table a few times.
The owner of the noodle stall immediately bent over: "Guest officer, do you want to order something?"
Diners: "Checkout!"
The owner of the noodle stall: "Okay, five dollars!"
The diner counted five coins from his blanket and placed them on the table.
The stall owner smiled and put his hand on the money and was about to take it back, when suddenly, a cold light flashed, and his hand could no longer move, and a sharp dagger pierced his palm and nailed it to the table.
Before he could scream in pain, another cold light crossed his throat, and the whole person fell on the table, his throat facing the empty noodle bowl, and the hot blood continued to spurt into the bowl.
It all happened between the lightning and flint, there was no fighting, no screaming, everything was silent.
The diner unhurriedly pushed the corpse aside, grabbed the blood in the empty bowl and drank it down. After drinking the blood, he carried the corpse into the darkness.
Not long after, a man of the same stature and appearance as the owner of the noodle stall walked back, he also crossed his hands, and staggered against the stove to warm up, as if there had never been a murder here.
However, if you look closely, you can find that he still has a human skin in his hand, baking it unhurriedly.
......
Tonggu Town.
Countless torches illuminated the clear water of Tonggu Lake, which sparkled and although it was a cold winter, the lake did not freeze, but instead steamed up a fog.
The black-clothed man who led the torch said: "Nameless lord, the prey jumped into the water from here and disappeared! I immediately blocked the entire Tonggu Lake, and sent more than ten small boats to search back and forth, but I never found any trace of the prey. ”
Nameless nodded: "How long has it been?"
The man in black said: "It's been three hours...... According to his subordinates, no one can survive in such cold waters, presumably the prey is dead, but the body has not been found for the time being......"
Nameless shook his head and said, "The prey is the Ice Plains Undead Clan, and ordinary people can't survive in the water for more than three hours, but it may not be for her. After a moment of silence, he added: "Immediately arrange for people to dive into the water from here, and see people in life and corpses in death!"
The man in black responded with a bitter face, and dived into the water to find someone in the cold weather, even if he didn't die, he would have to lose half his life! However, the other party was a close confidant of the county lord, and he didn't have the courage to disobey the order, so he could only go down and make arrangements.
When the man in black walked away, and Nameless left the lake, he walked into a heavily guarded inn and went straight into a remote room.
In the middle of the room sat a beautiful woman with bright eyes and bright teeth, with a light veil on her face, and beside her, there was an extremely ugly lump of flesh.
After Nameless entered, the mass of flesh immediately stretched out, revealing the hollow in the chest and abdomen, which was actually the dwarf who had escaped from the ice field, the hyena.
Nameless glanced at the naked hyena's empty lower body and frowned unconsciously.
The hyena seemed to have suffered a great humiliation, smiled coldly, and made a voice like a scrub: "Isn't the nameless adult curious?
Nameless's face changed, but he forcibly suppressed his anger and ignored the other party, and first gave a salute to the veiled woman: "Nameless see the county lord!"
The woman was none other than Chiba, she nodded in return, and said in a deep voice, "What is the result?"
Nameless's face turned pale: "The subordinates are incompetent, and no trace of Nalan Xue has been found until now!"
The hyena laughed and said: "I was killed by a little girl, and I haven't even touched a hair until now, I don't think you should be called nameless, just call it incompetent!"
Nameless's face turned red all of a sudden, and the knuckles holding the scabbard turned white.
The hyena sneered: "What? You want to do it in front of the county lord, I think you should not only be called incompetent, but also rude!"
Nameless said angrily, "Bastard, if you hadn't deliberately concealed the power of the Gu Clan's Supreme Treasure Snow Green, how could our losses be so heavy?"
The hyena sneered: "It's really funny, Your Excellency didn't ask me, how can I think of it? Incompetence is incompetence, and a hundred excuses can't hide the fact that you are incompetent!"
Nameless holds the hilt of his sword: "Shameless, I'm going to kill you!"
Chiba said coldly, "That's enough!" she looked at the dwarf and said, "Your Excellency Hyena, if you have any good ideas, please say it earlier." If it's all such pointless arguments, please leave at once!
The hyena was dissatisfied: "County Lord, you can't be untrustworthy! You promised to find Lord Jin first, and then I will kill Nalan Xue for you." But as far as I know, Lord Jin has fallen into the hands of two old fellows, Merlin and Bach, and you are the first to break your word!"
Chiba sneered: "Don't worry, what I promised will definitely be done." If you always stand by and watch, go and find it yourself, maybe Elder Merlin will be merciful for a while, and let you see your Lord Jin alive!"
When the hyena heard the other party mention the word Merlin, he suddenly showed a look of fear, shrunk his head and said: "Forget it, in fact, there is no way, if Nalan Xue really hides underwater, she will definitely use some kind of strange magic to save her life." I'm naturally extremely sensitive to divine arts, as long as I dive into the water and follow the residual magical aura in the water, I should be able to find her......"
Nameless said angrily: "Bastard, why didn't you say it earlier?"
The hyena was naturally not afraid of Nameless, and sneered at each other: "How do I know that you are so incompetent? If you had admitted that you were incompetent earlier, I would have acted earlier-"
He carried the word incompetence in every sentence, and he only felt that the green muscles were abrupt.
Chiba waved his sleeves: "Don't fight anymore, Your Excellency Hyena, in half an hour, I hope you can give me an exact message!"
The hyena said proudly: "Don't worry, the county lord, just wait for my good news here!" After speaking, he glanced at Nameless with disdain, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared from the room.
Waiting for the hyena to leave, Nameless immediately said to Chiba: "County Lord, this monster is not enough to succeed and more than to lose, so don't be gullible." ”
Chiba sneered, "Of course I know that he is not trustworthy! However, before dawn, I have to leave for the palace to return to the palace, so as not to arouse Monton's suspicion."
You have to remember that Lord Jin of the Secret Spy Academy will be here soon. I need you to make arrangements so that she can see with her own eyes that it was the hyena that killed Nalan Xue!Besides, after this incident, the hyena must not live, and I don't want anyone to know that I have appeared in Tonggu Town. ”
A cold glint flashed in Nameless's eyes: "Yes, County Lord!"
