Chapter 51: The City of Peace

Recently, this safe city is not safe!

Walking on the streets of the city, the young man in brocade clothes is holding a dogtail grass, holding the back of his head with both hands and looking idle, and the girl behind him is dressed plainly like a reading maid, although the temperament is outstanding, but passers-by don't look closely, and only think that it is a more luxurious-looking maid.

Listening to the sighs of pedestrians and the depressed streets, the two walked more and more slowly.

"Senior Brother Xiaoyu, huh...... Why are we dressed up like this? Duan Li'er didn't understand Chen Xiaoyu's intentions, pulled the corners of the young man's brocade clothes, and asked in a low voice.

Yesterday morning, Duan Li'er had just woken up and was about to feed the cicadas, only to hear a loud bang, and the courtyard door was demolished by a strong force. Chen Xiaoyu stood at the door awkwardly, the little white fox on his shoulder raised one hind leg with a classic martial arts master movement, punched and recycled, his face was as hideous as a wolf cub.

After the young man's explanation and the little white fox had to pinch him, and he also understood the facts of the case on the scroll, Duan Li'er agreed to investigate the case together, but she didn't know why she believed Chen Xiaoyu's nonsense, and changed into a simple maid outfit, but Chen Xiaoyu dressed like a rich boy, and pretended to be idle and honest.

"Hey, do you think that my Chen Xiaoyu will do useless work, let my junior sister and I dress up in disguise to avoid some unnecessary trouble, don't believe it, junior sister look over there!"

Pointing to the north side of the street, Chen Xiaoyu took Duan Li'er's hand, smiled slightly, and said, "Senior sister, isn't it Zhou Xiaochen who is wearing white clothes over there, isn't the purple-clothed person next to him ......?"

After hesitating for a while, Chen Xiaoyu didn't say Fang Yao's name. The little abacus in his heart crackled, as a teenager that Senior Sister Duan liked, how could he remember the names of girls other than Duan Li'er, and even if he did, he had to pretend not to remember!

"Zhou Xiaochen and Fang Yao, are they together?" Duan Li'er looked at the north side of Chen Xiaoyu's finger, and suddenly gossiped.

Sure enough, no matter how the times change, girls' gossip is innate.

Chen Xiaoyu shook his head and explained in a low voice: "Senior sister, let's come all the way to this Ping'an City, whether it is a village or a town, even in this bustling and lively street, we all see a deserted and depressed scene, and people are panicking, what does this mean, it means that Ping'an City has not been safe recently, then the four major sects of our Qinghe Immortal League will definitely send people down the mountain to investigate the case, and the Ping'an City Lord can't just call us a Spirit Sword Peak!" ”

It was quite reasonable to hear Chen Xiaoyu speak so logically and smoothly for the first time, Duan Li'er lowered her head and glanced at the hand holding her, raised her head and smiled: "Senior Brother Xiaoyu is so reasonable!" ”

"Tsk, call the young master, don't forget that your current identity is my maid!" Chen Xiaoyu deliberately reprimanded, feeling happy in his heart.

Chen Xiaoyu definitely couldn't say these words, but the only descendant of the Heavenly Fox Divine Clan, Fairy Fox Xiaobai, who was hidden in the hair on the top of his head, was a genius of logical reasoning and a loyal reader of the Zhiwei script.

However, only the words were taught by the fairy fox, and the young man in brocade and the simple maid were all thought by Chen Xiaoyu himself.

Anyway, in this era, Duan Li'er is his Chen Xiaoyu's serious girlfriend, and it is not too much to let his girlfriend cosplay the image he wants to see, and besides, Duan Li'er looks clever, but it is actually quite easy to fool.

"Okay, young master......" Duan Li'er pursed her lips and deliberately muttered indestructible.

"Okay little pity, this young master is satisfied!" Chen Xiaoyu agreed with a thick face, and pulled Duan Li'er into the West Alley.

This move made Duan Li'er feel a little strange.

"This old man, why are many shops in the city closed?"

Outside the alley, Fang Yao and Zhou Xiaochen stopped an old man who was moving slowly on crutches, and politely asked about the recent situation in Ping'an City.

The old man just shook his head and said nothing, coughed lightly, and continued to hurry home with his crutches.

The two of them looked at each other, and their eyes were full of words of encouragement. Zhou Xiaochen looked at the red sun in the early morning and said: "There are fewer people on the streets of the city today than yesterday, and I don't know what is going on with these people, no matter what they ask, they don't speak, why don't we go to the City Lord's Mansion and ask?" ”

Purple clothes fluttered, Fang Yao shook his head lightly and vetoed Zhou Xiaochen's proposal, and said: "If you go to the City Lord's Mansion, you may meet the disciples of the other two sects, and then the old city lord will definitely let the four sects of Qinghe investigate the case together, not to mention anything else, what does the master mean to let us experience and cooperate to find a case where a person is missing, so what is the point of experience?" ”

was almost moved by Fang Yao's words, Zhou Xiaochen nodded, and said with a solemn face: "Senior Sister Fang is indeed reasonable, but last night there was another missing water porter from Chenhe Town, and it was also the middle of the night, I don't know which one in Chenhe Town caught fire, everyone picked up water to extinguish the fire, and after the fire was controlled, it was only when the sky was slightly bright that there was a missing water porter, and the bucket carrying water was still on the shore......"

Judging from what Zhou Xiaochen said, it means that two people disappeared in two nights, and the places where they disappeared were also by the river.

"That's the river god is angry, you cultivators had better not go to check, you cultivate immortals, and the river god is a real immortal, isn't it a small witch to check the river god!"

In the west alley, Chen Xiaoyu listened vigorously, and he had a feeling that it was really like what the little white fox said, the missing people were swallowed by the monsters in the river.

It's just that suddenly there was a middle-aged man's voice, which broke Chen Xiaoyu and Xianhu's conjecture.

River God? That's not the same concept as demons.

But God, no matter how hungry he is, until he faints, and jumps from the sky, he should not devour mortals.

Zhou Xiaochen looked at the middle-aged man who stopped on the street to ridicule their cultivators, and still asked politely, "Why did Mr. say this?" ”

The man looked down on the cultivator and said disdainfully, "So you didn't ask anything for a long time, did you?" Laughing to death, really laughing to death, let me tell you, this morning just now, someone found scales next to the bucket left by the missing water porter, you don't have to think about it, it must be dragon scales, such a big piece, the legend of the river god is the dragon god, understand? Just like that, I returned to the cultivator, and I laughed to death! ”

This three-word ridicule gave the smiling Zhou Xiaochen a complete relief.

In fact, anyone who is a cultivator will listen to it harshly, but it depends on the individual's temper.

Just like the Heavenly Fox Bead hidden in the boy's hair, although he is not a cultivator, he has never looked down on people who can only move their mouths.

At the mouth of the West Alley, there was a strong killing intent in his eyes, Chen Xiaoyu, who was under the control of the fairy fox consciousness, walked to the middle-aged man's side, put one hand on his shoulder, and the aura around his body was released, and the coercion of the Qiushui Realm was terrifying.

The young man sighed, "Don't you know that there are giant scales in the river, and there is a river demon named Jiao?" ”
