Volume 1 The Rise of the Tianwu Continent Chapter 180 The Disappearance of Lingyang City
"Why are you stupid boy, why are you going to cook with me!" Qiao Yiyi said and dragged Yang Fan to the courtyard, where there was a simple kitchen that could not be in a simple place. Dust, Silk, Literature ↘, → Net
It was just a large iron pot in a straw hut, and beside the iron pot was a jar of rice and a basket of wilted vegetables.
Qiao Yiyi took a few steps forward and opened the lid of the rice jar to take a look, then closed it gently, turned to Yang Fan and said, "If you have anything to eat, take it out." ”
Yang Fan didn't have too many things on his body, and the two didn't expect that there would be no inn in the city, Qiao Yiyi was also happy when he looked at the few ingredients in front of him, and it was always better than nothing.
"I remember that your chicken is well roasted, and I guess the cooking is also good, you can do it, and I will help you. Joey said as she rolled up her sleeves and put herself away.
"Why do you feel weird today, not like you usual?" Yang Fan glanced at Qiao Yiyi, who was washing vegetables on the side, still feeling a little curious.
"I don't like to see children and the elderly suffering, don't talk so much nonsense and cook quickly!"
In this way, the two cooperated with each other tacitly, and it didn't take long for a few steaming meals to be brought to the house.
Although it was already dark, and although there was only a small candle in the room, all three of them had heartfelt smiles on their faces at this moment.
Yang Fan hasn't felt this way for a long time, and he really hasn't felt so at ease over the years, and a few people gathered around the table to eat a steaming meal.
"Child, are you married?" the old woman looked at the two with kindness on her face.
"Poof... Knot... Get married!" Yang Fan was startled and hurriedly explained.
After hearing this, the old woman shook her head, sighed and said, "What a match for two people, it's a pity not to be together." ”
Qiao Yiyi just smiled and served the old man vegetables, and didn't say anything, but the old man at this time had tears in his eyes.
"Grandma, what's wrong with you?" asked Qiao Yiyi, looking at the old man.
"Hey, pity my grandson, who is about the same age as you, and as filial as you, but he disappeared so suddenly!" said the old man, who began to wipe away his tears.
Qiao Yiyi frowned and asked, "Didn't they report to the official? Didn't they investigate the matter?"
"It's useless, how comfortable he is in that city lord's mansion, he won't care about the life or death of our ordinary people!"
After hearing this, Qiao Yiyi just lowered her head to eat and didn't say a word, and soon another thing became a problem for the two, that is, the old woman's house only has three rooms, so there are only two bedrooms, and the old man sleeps one, so Yang Fan and Qiao Yiyi have to sleep in one.
The old man smiled and said, "Let's be together, you are both good children, suitable!" and then went into the house to sleep.
"Go to sleep, I'll stay in the yard. Yang Fan felt very embarrassed, and planned to find a random place for the night.
"Pedantic, isn't it just a sleep, you sleep on the ground and I sleep on the bed, and everyone sleeps on their own, what can you do? Big man, mother-in-law, mother-in-law, mother-in-law, do you dare to do to me, or will I do what I will do to you? Hurry up and we will go to investigate the disappearance early tomorrow morning, what is the hypocrisy!" Qiao Yiyi said with a look of disgust and turned around and walked into the room.
Yang Fan, who was left in the circle, then thought carefully about Qiao Yiyi's words, there was nothing wrong with it, the two of them were innocent, each slept with their own, what was there? If you don't go, it will look like a ghost in your heart!
Thinking that Yang Fan also walked into the house, the room was as simple as the outside, there was only one bed, Qiao Yiyi was already lying on the bed at this moment, and then threw the cover to Yang Fan and pointed to the ground and said, "You can sleep there." ”
Yang Fan has been unable to sleep at night, although the two of them are fine, but there is still a very strange feeling!
"Did you sleep?" asked Joyiyi softly.
"Sleep!"
"Are you looking for a fight?"
"What do you think about this disappearance?"
The two of them just lay down and no one looked at anyone, that's how you and I chatted sentence by sentence.
"It's definitely not some beast or demon beast that eats people, because from the perspective of the missing person, there is a very clear purpose, so it is the human race and the demon race that did this, what I don't understand is why they only catch some young children? What is the purpose?" Yang Fan said what he thought in his heart.
"Putting aside their purpose for the time being, have you noticed that all the news is that someone is missing, not someone is dead, so it proves that most of these people should be alive? That is to say, there must be a large place that can hold so many people, and it will not be discovered by others!"
"I don't know what Miss Qiao has?"
"Tomorrow, we will take a walk around the city, on the one hand, to inquire more about the disappearance, and secondly, we will pay attention to the city, whether there is a big house that can accommodate so many people, and then go to the city lord's mansion, I want to see what this useless waste is doing all day!" Speaking of this, Qiao Yiyi, the city lord of Lingyang City, seemed to be extremely angry.
The two woke up very early and didn't bother the old man, Qiao Yiyi took out a dozen taels of gold from his arms, quietly put it on the table, and walked out of the old man's house with Yang Fan and walked towards the city.
Until noon, the two of them had walked around the city, but they didn't find any useful news, and the villagers all said that they were some wild beasts or ghosts, and none of them saw how the children disappeared, and no one had found any children, not even corpses!
The only thing for reference is that they learned from the villagers that the children disappeared after the 10th of each month, which made the two a little surprised, but now they can't figure it out.
"Let's go to the City Lord's Mansion first!" Qiao Yiyi said before walking towards the palatial palace in front of her.
In such a place where life is difficult and the city is full of dilapidated houses, this City Lord's Mansion feels out of place here, and even the City Lord's Mansion in Turning Cloud and Jindu City that Yang Fan has seen before does not have the luxury here!
And at this moment, several guards in front of the city lord's mansion came over, with fierce eyes and drew their swords, shouting at the two of them: "What are you two doing sneakily here? Hurry up or I'll arrest you and put you in prison!"
"My brother disappeared a few days ago, I'm going to report it!" Qiao Yiyi said with a frightened face.
"Isn't it normal for a missing person to go missing! Hurry up and report to some official, if you disturb the city lord's rest, you won't be able to live!"
"Wait! This little girl is so beautiful, what are you yelling, don't frighten other girls!" At this time, a man walked out of the city lord's mansion, and looked at Qiao Yiyi with a smile on his face.
"The little girl wants to report to the official, come and follow me in, and I will take you to the city lord!" The man came to Qiao Yiyi's side and kept looking her body up and down.
"Then it's troublesome master!" Qiao Yiyi made a nervous look, and secretly glanced at Yang Fan, and followed the man into the City Lord's Mansion.
"You hurry up! Don't look at it, this girl is not yours!" After Qiao Yiyi entered the mansion, Yang Fan was viciously knocked aside by those guards.
Yang Fan didn't worry about Qiao Yiyi's safety, that calamity star ghost had a lot of ideas, and her cultivation was a real perception realm double heaven! With the Heavenly Frost Sword in hand, in these mortal worlds, it was not an exaggeration to say that there was a god-like existence!
Generally, the guards in this city are at most a few people who have just entered the Quenching Realm, and the lords of this city are often some people who are at the peak of the Soul Washing Realm or have just entered the Perception Realm, and this kind of realm can't make any big waves under Qiao Yiyi's hands!
After Qiao Yiyi entered the mansion, he was taken to a spacious room, and then the man smiled extremely obscenely and said, "Girl, wait here, I'll go and ask the city lord to come and see you." ”
It didn't take long for there to be a sound of hurried footsteps outside, and then pushing the door in was a fat man with a fat head and big ears and a shiny face, and the moment he saw Qiao Yiyi, there was a ** fire in his whole eyes.
"Fairy, this is a fairy in the sky!"
Just as the fat man was rubbing his hands and walking towards Qiao Yiyi, suddenly a blue light flashed, and the Heavenly Frost Sword was already on his neck!
Rong Tianze was trembling with fright at this time, and when he looked at Qiao Yiyi in his eyes, what was his desire except fear, his strength was at the peak of the Soul Washing Realm, with such strength in this Lingyang City, that was an existence like an emperor, but he felt an instinctive fear from the woman in front of him, this woman only needed a sword to kill him!
"The heroine spares her life, if the heroine spares her life, let's say it slowly!" Rong Tianze simply knelt down and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.
Qiao Yiyi knew that there would definitely be no less bad things that Rong Tianze had done, and according to her character, she really wanted to end him with such a sword, but now he couldn't, because she had more important things to do, if she killed him, it would definitely lead to the investigation of the greedy wolf emperor, and when the time came, she would be hunted down by others before she found out about her disappearance!
Qiao Yiyi was not afraid of being hunted down, but now she put finding out those missing children in the first place, so she didn't make a move, just looked at Rong Tianze coldly and asked, "There are so many children who disappeared in the city for no reason, I heard that they were captured by you?"
Qiao Yiyi didn't directly ask him if he knew the clues of the matter, but directly said that he did it, pretending to have determined that he was the culprit of this matter, and this time he came to ask him for guilt!
"The woman misunderstood, I didn't do it, I don't know them at all!" Looking at the sword in front of his head, Rong Tianze really thought that Qiao Yiyi was here to kill him for this matter, and shouted in a hurry.
Qiao Yiyi smiled secretly after hearing this, she knew that her trick had worked, if she asked him directly if she knew the news about the disappearance, it was estimated that even if she knew, she would not tell the truth, and the embarrassing thing was that even if he didn't tell the truth, Qiao Yiyi would have no way to judge, so she simply deceived him first.
