Chapter 158: Shadows

The city lord of Yicheng is a person with a very low sense of existence, if it weren't for Meng Xiao and others who broke through the manor, I'm afraid that the Hanging Mirror Division would never have remembered that there was such a person as the city lord of Yicheng. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The city lord of Yicheng is named Zheng Mo, who usually belongs to the otaku who is cautious and does not go out often, after the matter of the manor was leaked this time, Gu Shen and the three masters came to the city lord's mansion as soon as possible, but what they never expected was that Zheng Mo died in bed like that.

After the incident, Wei Chao Wei Yu asked all the guards and maidservants in the vicinity, but still found nothing. Judging from the time of death, the murderer should have done so after the manor was leaked, and as for the cause of death, his head was cut off by a crescent moon shovel, which is exactly the same as Zheng Mo's usual methods against the enemy! Thinking about Li Huang's death, they have reason to believe that this was a murder and that the same person did it.

"Well, it can be seen that this is a forced killer, killing the target with the means of each target, which can be described as the way of the other. Meng Xiao nodded and spoke highly of this killer, and said, "But everyone's soul treasure is very different, but he can achieve almost perfect imitation, then his soul treasure must be very special." ā€

Gu Shen rubbed his temples with some distress, "That's so, but this kind of soul treasure that can imitate others is too rare, in my memory, only the soul treasure of the third master has this ability, but the restriction is very big!"

Meng Xiao was a little curious when he heard this, "Third Master, what soul treasure?"

"The third division master is named Lan Zhengzai, who was the tenth division master of the previous session, and later many division masters of the Hanging Mirror Division died in battle, so he jumped from the tenth to the third!

Meng Xiao nodded suddenly, "Metal slimes rarely appear, but according to historical records, they have also appeared a few times, and they are very fragile, but the weapons after transformation are comparable to divine weapons, and it can not only change weapons, but also many mechanical creations!"

The corners of Gu Shen's mouth twitched, and he snorted: "It's nothing, this Lan Zhengzai is obviously already a person who has run four, but he looks like a warm man all day long, and he doesn't know how many women from good families have been confused?

Meng Xiao's expression was strange, "How do you know that people have black bellies?"

"Hmph, if it's really a warm man, how can he run to the Qinglou every three or five days? The last time I competed for the Oiran on the first night, I had more money, who knew that the Oiran chose him! Isn't it just because he has a good skin? Hmph, little white face!" Gu Shen snorted angrily, making Xue Yanran, who had just come out with the teapot confused, who was this scolding?

Meng Xiao couldn't laugh or cry, "This shouldn't be considered a black belly, it can only be said that people's appearance and temperament are better than yours, and besides, with your status in the capital, will the Oiran give up the third master of the Hanging Mirror Division and choose you, an embarrassing member of the royal family?"

The corners of Gu Shen's mouth twitched and said hurriedly: "What's wrong with me? If she chooses me, I will definitely take her back to the house! Even if she can't be a wife, the identity of a concubine has never run away! What about now? I was taken care of by others, but I don't live in the Qinglou!"

Xue Yanran understood this time, Gu Shen was jealous of a man with a stronger appearance, a better temperament, and a higher status than him! But liking someone is not the same as who you will marry in the end, and in my opinion, you still have a chance. ā€

Gu Shen touched his chin when he heard this, and said strangely: "Is the snow fairy hinting that I can work harder?"

Xue Yanran smiled: "I didn't say anything, I just think that with your character, you shouldn't care about the heart of any Oiran, just get someone!"

Gu Shen blinked and slapped his face and shouted: "It makes sense! As long as the hoe is swung well, how can there be a corner of the wall that can't be dug down! If you can't get her heart, it's good to get her person, you can still disgust that guy!"

Meng Xiao looked at these two goods angrily, "Then how do you want to get her people? You are better than other people's kung fu, stronger than others, or more handsome than others!"

"......" Gu Shen's head was depressed, and Xue Yanran laughed completely.

Meng Xiao shook his head, feeling that if he didn't pull the topic back, it was estimated that he would be able to crook the building until tomorrow morning, "Since that killer will kill Zheng Mo, it means that this city lord should have something to do with Li Huang! ā€

Gu Shen's expression was straight, "Yes, Wei Yu and the others also suspect that these two people are in a gang, but then the problem is a bit big!"

Meng Xiao nodded and said, "Yes, a mysterious organization that I have never heard of, but it has bred within the Hanging Mirror Division and actually controlled a city. It's scary to think about!"

Gu Shen nodded approvingly and asked: "You have read so many books, haven't you heard of it?" What kind of Nine Shadows organization, which can infiltrate such a high position from the two aspects of the government and the Hanging Mirror Division, must have existed for a long time, if you don't show clues, it is unimaginable!"

Meng Xiao paused, "I really haven't heard anything about Jiuyou, but I can help you ask my mother, you know, I haven't encountered anything she doesn't know so far!"

Gu Shen said happily: "Then trouble Aunt Qing." ā€

"Well, I'll tell you the answer tomorrow. By the way, what's next for you?"

Gu Shen replied: "The clues are all broken, so we can only arrange those victims first." Children and the elderly can send them home, but the women who suffer are not so good. I can only help them change their names and surnames to live in other cities through the right of the Hanging Mirror Division, but this project is huge, and we can't trust it with local spies, and we don't have too many people!"

Meng Xiao paused and said: "You can leave Jin San for the time being, he was Jin Dashan's deputy in Luocheng at the beginning, and his ability to do things can definitely be trusted." And once we return to the capital, it's hard to say what kind of situation will happen, he is injured now and can't use his full strength, it's better to let him heal here first!"

"Jin San, it's also a good candidate, so be it! Then we'll continue on the road the day after tomorrow, do you want to come with us?"

Meng Xiao was just about to speak, but saw Xue Yanran put the teacup in his hand, and continued: "My junior brothers are searching in front, and if they find nothing, they will always come back to you, so we are not suitable to go on the road together." ā€

Gu Shen looked at the teacups in his and Meng Xiao's hands, and only then did he react, this is the tea that Xue Yanran poured for herself......!

Gu Shen looked at Xue Yanran and Meng Xiao, his eyes kept switching between the two, these two guys wouldn't really develop a singing and crying adulterous affair!

Meng Xiao took a sip of tea lightly, and said with some dissatisfaction: "I'm blind to the tea I planted, your tea brewing level is too poor!"

Xue Yanran rolled her eyes and snorted: "It's good to drink some, hurry up and send this goods away, cure me as soon as possible, and I can go back to the Jade Void Palace as soon as possible!

Gu Shen shook his head when he heard this, and put down the teacup with some embarrassment, he must have been too tired to hallucinate, and these two don't look like a couple. "Well, that, I'll go first, don't worry, no one will know when I come out to see you this time. You go on!" he got up and left, and he could even feel Xue Yanran's unhappy gaze behind him.

Meng Xiao didn't think much about it, in his opinion, Xue Yanran's temper has been much more restrained now, in the past, it was chaotic and murderous at every turn!

Putting down the teacup and taking the chessboard out of the baggage, Xue Yanran sat down with a smile, and just wanted to say something, but saw Meng Xiao absentmindedly press a child and took out the library card to contact his mother.

Xue Yanran was unhappy, this was a contempt for her chess skills......! Looking down at the chessboard, well, I am indeed a stinky chess basket.

Meng Xiao didn't write too many words on the message, only wrote the words "Nine Shadows" on a bookmark and sandwiched it into the book. I thought that the mother who was wandering around would not reply to her until very late, but who knew that the news would be transmitted back only a quarter of an hour later.

The message reads, "Jiuyou is one of the reasons why your father was in the family back then!"
