Yuan Yuan and Zhen Bao walked out of the studio.

At this time, Mrs. Wang had already gone to open the door. Several people walked in.

The leader was Wu Qinghui, followed by Wu Qingyuan, Tie Zimu, and Qi Rongzhi.

Several people had anxious looks on their faces.

Yuan Yuan hurriedly asked, "Brother Qinghui, what's wrong with you, what's going on?"

Wu Qinghui said, "Something happened, but I don't know if it's a big thing or a small thing." ”

Wu Qingyuan interjected, "I haven't come back yet, it must be a big deal." ”

Yuan Yuan hurriedly asked, "What is the matter?" can I help?"

Wu Qinghui nodded and said, "It's Qingguang." Originally, the dean did not allow students to leave the academy recently. But one of our cousins, He Yingzhu, came from Qingyang. Qingguang has had a good relationship with her since childhood. So Qingguang sneaked out of the academy to see our cousin. ”

"I heard from the servants of the house, that neither of them had brought a warrior with him, so they rode out of the city for a ride. said that he would go out for half an hour, but now he has been out for more than an hour, and he has not come back. ”

Yuan Yuan asked, "Have you informed the dean or the teacher of the academy of painting about this matter?"

Wu Qinghui frowned, "It's just not good to tell the dean, the teacher came to you." If the dean or teacher knows about this, they will most likely give Qingguang a punishment. So, we wanted to hide it, and then we organized some people to find the two of them. ”

"I don't know which way they are going out of the city, so I have to look in all four directions. Qingyuan is a girl, she won't go, I, Brother Zimu, Brother Rong, only three people. There's still one person missing, so we're coming to you. ”

Yuan Yuan nodded, "No problem." I can find a direction. ”

Hearing Yuan Yuan's answer so crisply, Wu Qinghui's frowning brows stretched slightly.

"Then let's go. Everyone chooses a direction and goes out of town to find it. Wu Qinghui said.

Tie Zimu said, "I went to the east, and I am more familiar with the east. ”

Qi Rongzhi said, "I go to the south, and I often walk horses to the south." ”

Wu Qinghui said, "Then I'll go to the north, I'm more familiar with the north." ”

Yuan Yuan nodded, "Then I'll go to the west." However, the west side is close to Daqing Mountain, and if they ride horses, the most unlikely place to go is the west side. ”

Wu Qinghui took out four cylindrical objects from his arms, "This is a signal flare." When you pull the lid, you can release fireworks that can be seen from afar. One per person. If a glaucoma is found, or something happens, release fireworks. So that others can rush over. ”

Qi Rongzhi, Tie Zimu, and Yuan Yuan each took a signal flare and put it in their arms.

Then, Wu Qinghui said to Wu Qingyuan, "Qingyuan, you go back to the villa first." Either way, the four of us will definitely find Qingguang and bring him back. ”

Wu Qingyuan nodded, and then looked at the other people, "It's dark, the road is not easy to walk, you all be careful." ”

Wu Qinghui patted Wu Qingyuan's shoulder, "Don't worry, we are all men, and we are not afraid of the dark." ”

Yuan Yuan turned around and said to Zhen Bao, "Master Bao, I'll go out for a while, I'll do today's homework when I come back." ”

Zhen Bao nodded, "Young Master, you can go." Be careful all the way. ”

"Hmm. ”

Wu Qinghui looked at the other three, "Then, let's go." ”

As he spoke, Wu Qinghui took the lead in walking out of the gate of the villa.

After leaving the villa, Wu Qingyuan went back to her own villa.

And Wu Qinghui took Qi Rongzhi, Tie Zimu, and Yuan Yuan to the gate of the painting academy.

Although the gate of the academy is open, there are handymen watching the gate.

In recent days, the dean has issued a ban order not allowing students to go out, so the handyman has been keeping his eyes on the gate and not allowing students to go out.

Of course, other people, such as servants, servants, and followers of warriors, are not within the scope of the prohibition order.

When they arrived at the gate, the four of them crept through the window of the gatehouse, and hid from the handymen.

After leaving the academy, the four of them separated.

It was the first time for Yuan Yuan to walk on the streets of Junyang at such a late hour.

At this time, it was almost time, and there were few pedestrians on the road. Occasionally, there are one or two shops that haven't closed yet, casting yellow lights.

The weather is also a little cooler. I don't feel it during the day, but at this time, I feel the slightest coolness passed through the clothes, which makes people feel very uncomfortable.

Of course, this coolness is nothing to painters like Yuan Yuan, who have been quenched by the painting element.

Yuan Yuan ran "Chasing a Thousand Steps" and walked towards the West City Gate.

The gates of the city are not closed at night.

In the city of Junyang, the security is still relatively good. Although it is not possible to stay closed at night, there are few incidents of theft and robbery.

When he arrived at the West City Gate, Yuan Yuan saw a soldier guarding the gate chatting loudly.

"In a few days, it will be cold, and at that time, we will be guilty of guarding the gates. ”

"If you suffer, you will suffer, but at that time, the pay will be higher. It is said that something happened recently, and two painting children from the art academy were taken away. How strong that must be. ”

"Those things don't have much to do with us, and they don't have anything to do with us. Wait, I'll go over there and get some wine, we'll warm up, it's a little cold. ”

So saying, the soldier went up to the tower.

The other soldier felt that there seemed to be a figure passing by.

He rubbed his eyes and took a closer look, but found that there was no one, and suddenly a chill rose in his heart: Could it be that hell?

This figure is naturally Yuan Yuan.

In order to avoid the troublesome inquiries of these soldiers, Yuan Yuan directly ran "Chasing a Thousand Steps" and flashed out of the city gate.

After walking out of the city gate and running along the official road for hundreds of meters, Yuan Yuan stopped.

How should I find it? The west side is so big, and there are many places where you can run horses, where should you find it? Yuan Yuan couldn't help but hesitate.

Suddenly, Yuan Yuan remembered. To the west, near Daqingshan, there is a fiery red maple forest.

That forest, in this season, the scenery is the best. If Wu Qingguang had brought his cousin He Yingzhu to the west, he would have gone there.

After all, beauty and beauty can complement each other.

Thinking of this, Yuan Yuan ran towards the forest.

The night was too thick, and the big green mountain in the distance looked like a black giant beast, standing, looking much more powerful than during the day.

The closer you get, the more you can feel the steepness and enormity of Daqing Mountain.

During the day, you can see the gorgeous scenery, so people don't feel so oppressive about the mountains.

At night, I only saw a huge black object in front of me, and at this time, I realized that the sense of oppression given by Daqingshan was so strong.

Of course, Yuan Yuan would not feel terrified or flinch because of such a scene.

As he approached the woods, Yuan Yuan's brows furrowed, and he smelled a faint smell of blood.

It's not strong, but it does, and it's coming from that wood.

Searching for the smell of blood, Yuan Yuan walked into the woods.

Sure enough, in a clearing in the forest, Yuan Yuan found the corpses of two horses. The corpses were cut off by someone along with the saddle, and blood, intestines, and internal organs flowed all over the ground, which looked a little horrible.

It seems that it was a warrior who made the shot. Among the painters, there are few people who have such a strong hand, and have such a sharp weapon, which can cut off a horse with a knife or a sword.

Yuan Yuan carefully looked at the blood stains on the ground, most of them had dried up, and it seemed that the horses had been killed for a long time.

Yuan Yuan's heart couldn't help but heavily.

It seems that these two horses should be the horses of Wu Qingguang and He Yingzhu.

Because, on the hooves of the horses, the family emblem of the samurai family is engraved.

The horse was killed in this way, and the death was so tragic that the person who did it could be said to be ruthless.

But Wu Qingguang is nowhere to be seen now, I don't know if he has also encountered an accident.

Yuan Yuan looked around again, and found that there were indeed traces of painters inspiring spiritual paintings and battles around him.

On the pole of a tree, there were scorched marks, as if the fireball rune had been brushed and then left behind.

On several other trees, there are also traces of broken branches, apparently inspired by spiritual paintings such as "Strange Stone Drawing".

There are also some hollows on some tree poles, which should have inspired spiritual paintings like "Ten Thousand Arrows".

Yuan Yuan surrounded the horse corpses, searched for them in a radius of dozens of zhang, and found no one's corpses, Yuan Yuan let out a long sigh of relief.

There is no corpse, which is good news, indicating that Wu Qingguang and the two have not been killed here, at least.

Yuan Yuan returned to the horse's corpse, and by the moonlight, he wanted to take a closer look at what traces were still there, or if the information was left.

Sure enough, he found traces of the object being dragged. It looks like a person dragging two people around.

Yuan Yuan's heart rose again. Someone dragged along, it could be a corpse, or ...... Or lose consciousness and can't resist at all.

Thinking of this, Yuan Yuan felt a little anxious in his heart.

Although they and Wu Qingguang are not fatal friends, after all, they are also friends and classmates. The relationship with Wu Qingguang can be regarded as harmonious.

If, if Wu Qingguang was really killed, how would his family face such bad news?

Yuan Yuan followed this trace, walked lightly, slowly.

The person who killed the horses was very strong, and although he guessed that he was a warrior, he couldn't be careless.

Following the traces, Yuan Yuan passed through the woods and got closer to Daqing Mountain.

Then, Yuan Yuan saw a ball of fire, shining through a cave on the side of the mountain.

Yuan Yuan quietly approached the cave, and before he could get close to the cave, he heard a voice coming, "Haha, I'm really lucky today, painters have appeared one after another." I don't have to bother looking for it. ”

The sound was so rough that it sounded like the sound of fingernails scraping iron, which made people feel very uncomfortable to listen to.

Yuan Yuan turned his head to look and saw a person walking down the path on the left side of the cave.

Seeing this person, Yuan Yuan frowned.
