It was the night moon and the stars were bright, the pedestrians on the streets were becoming more and more scarce, and the smoke in the state capital was gradually disappearing.

There are eighteen big cities in Qingzhou and nine small cities. The big and small things in the city are chaotic, although there are government troops and the important task of defending the city and patrolling, but it is still not easy to rectify some small city affairs, and you can't still trouble the government army, right?

As a result, under the leadership of the governor of the state, the garrison armies of various cities came into being.

Although the city garrison army also carries a military character, in fact, not all of them are well-trained, and most of them are selected to form such a "miscellaneous service" team with quick hands and feet, clever and flexible, and innocent backgrounds and hearts on the right path.

Wang Quan is the leader of such a "miscellaneous servant" team in the state capital city. Although he usually walks the streets and alleys, doing some messy things such as chasing beggars, chasing thieves, and mediating conflicts between neighbors, he enjoys it.

A teammate once asked him why he was standing in the year, when he was strong and energetic, why didn't he go to find a better livelihood? He smiled and said that this Qingzhou Prefecture capital city is full of flowers, but there is also sludge and smelly soil under the flowers, although he is only a small squad leader of the 28th squad of the fourth brigade of the city reserve army, and he can't do big things, but he can do what he can, like an worm to eat the soil and drink the yellow spring, he can always loosen these soils a little bit, and the big flower of the state capital city can bloom more luxuriantly.

Unexpectedly, this word somehow spread out, some people laughed at him for not wanting to make progress, and some people said that he was actually very ambitious, staring at the limited number of serious titles in the city army, and even called him "Vermiguan", claiming that this was the fulfillment of him.

Today, the leader of the worm officer squad did not take the team members to wander around the outer city as usual, and the head of the garrison army in the city sent an order that the end of the year had come, and ordered the leaders of each team to go door to house with the government army to strictly check whether there were gangsters hiding in the people's houses to prevent their misdeeds.

Wang Quan just came out of a house, said goodbye to his master, and said to the five Fu soldiers at the door: "Five adults, this family also said that there has been no contact with anyone in the past two days. ”

The armor on the one-armed army led by the leader was obviously different from the other four, and with a soft hum, he motioned for Wang Quan to go to the next resident's place.

Wang Quan frowned, he didn't think this was a normal task, if he was afraid of demons, then it was clear that in previous years, there were no cases of year-end inspections, but there had never been such door-to-door inquiries. After thinking about it again and again, he still stubbornly asked: "Dare to ask the adults what is the important task, can you tell one or two? In the future, it is better to do your best to give advice to a few adults!" In fact, what he wanted to say was to look for a needle in a haystack like this, it was really a waste of time, it was all afternoon, if there was really an important matter, it would have been delayed a long time ago.

However, as soon as the words fell, he felt a chill in his throat, and the tips of the four spears had reached his Adam's apple, and he felt cold all over his body for a while. I finally remembered that this government army is not an ordinary official, and everything involved in the tasks of the government army can be called a secret in the army, and asking random questions will cost you your head!

"Don't ask what you shouldn't, just do your thing. "Fortunately, the one-armed government army stretched out his hand to stop the other four, otherwise Wang Quan would have been killed on the street today.

"Yes, yes..."Wang Quan was afraid, but he didn't dare to say more, this group of government troops was too fierce to provoke again.

So Wang Quan led the way, and the group continued to move forward.

Just after walking a few steps, Wang Quan suddenly heard the person behind him say: "If someone runs away from home, how can you find it?"

Wang Quan's heart tightened, knowing that he was afraid that he had grasped the main context of this mission, his mind turned sharply, and he said: "It depends on whether it is a man or a woman, and whether there will be an accident." ”

"How?"

Wang Quan turned to look at the one-armed army and saw that his iron-like face did not fluctuate, so he had to continue: "The man ran away secretly, mostly for pleasure, and he could find it in the Qinglou Tavern; ”

"The places you mentioned are already staffed. The one-armed army said, and then asked casually: "What if there is an accident?"

Wang Quan said as he walked backwards: "If you don't run away for a long time, the accident won't be serious. At most, the man was robbed of his money and beaten, and the woman may have just lost her way and missed the time to go home, and at worst, she was just taken away and locked up in a remote place, only to be sold after the price was negotiated..."

"Lead the way. ”

"Huh? yes!"

Wang Quan hurriedly turned around and led the way. At the same time, he secretly scolded himself for talking too much, this government army made it clear that he was looking for someone, if the person he was looking for was a woman, and unfortunately he really had an accident in his words, and he couldn't be angry.

"Go to what you call the middle of nowhere. ”

Wang Quan was stunned when he heard this, and his voice trembled: "This side is close." ”

After speaking, he took five government soldiers into the alley next to the street, only hoping that his crow mouth would not be so bright, and he was still thinking about when he would be able to get to the head of the army, so as to clean up all the guys who didn't dare to provoke on weekdays, and now that such a variable has been added, I really don't know how to cry.

The state capital city is divided into inside and outside, and the outer city is the most complicated, with various classes of three religions and nine streams. I can't say that there are people living in a corner that is inaccessible, these people live in no fixed place, sometimes in groups, some alone, looking for a broken house, or a ruined courtyard, as long as there is a shelter from the wind and rain, do not want to get rich, do not look forward to starting a family, just live day by day. The so-called cat has a cat path, and a mouse has a mouse path, and this is it.

For example, in the northwest of the outer city, there is such a group of people, they are about twenty in number, gathered in a dilapidated courtyard, they don't know what to do to make a living, all day long the big fish and big meat, the smell of wine wafts out of the wall, often provoke the "neighbors" to peek through the crack in the door, do not understand why the same living in this kind of place, people can live more than the outsider.

Hua Ning was woken up by a burst of laughter, and when she woke up, she found that her hands were tied around a pillar, and her eyes were covered with a thick cloth belt, so she couldn't see anything. Was it kidnapped? The monkey trickster did it?

Thinking of the monkey man, Hua Ning felt a pain in the back of her head, and she burst into tears, and couldn't help but regret how she could sneak out, and how she couldn't help herself to save the monkey.

The more I think about it, the more I regret it, and the more I regret it, the more angry I become.

"Are those two little chicks awake? I really can't imagine that there are fools who send them to the door!" Xu is because he is outside the house, across the wall, this person's voice has no strength, feminine and soft, anyway, Hua Ning feels that he hates this voice very much.

"No, I've just seen it, and it's not moving, don't worry, my people are very measured, just deal with two ordinary people, and let them faint for a few hours. "This is the voice of the monkey man!" Hua Ning remembered very clearly.

"Also, you are much more reliable than that Yan Lao Wu, he kidnapped a big beauty with a few brothers last time, and he actually played people stupidly, how can he give it to the buyer? ”

What? It sounds like they actually hurt a woman? Hua Ning's heart is about to be pinched.

"Hey, he likes the gods and gods the most, playing with a little girl and wearing the mask of the king of Yama, and the others pretend to be bulls and horses, and they are not afraid of being counted by the king of Yama after they die!"

The monkey man's laughter and scolding didn't make Hua Ning half a point easier, but felt a little colder around her, and her whole body couldn't help trembling.

"You are so damned that you are playing monkey, you dare to laugh at me behind my back! Quickly kowtow to Lao Tzu to make amends!" was another person's voice, and the tone was very domineering.

"Haven't you been in the Hades Temple, why have you come back here?"

Listening to the meaning of the monkey man, the person who came was actually the Yan Lao Wu in their mouth?

"My old nest was bulldozed by the Zhao family, but I didn't expect that the little girl before to be the Zhao family!"

Zhao family, which Zhao family, Hua Ning alone knew that there were several big families in the inner city surnamed Zhao.

"Hey, whoever made you dare to get your hands on the goods you promised to buy is also deserved. ”

The monkey trickster sounds like a lot of schadenfreude.

"Hmph, dare to say me, the two you hide in this house will play tricks on me first!"

What? He wanted to move himself and Hongying? Hua Ning was shocked and didn't dare to move.

"Yan Lao Wu, you dare! These two are of great appearance, I was planning to find a good buyer to make the right earrings for the Holy Maiden, if you dare to delay me, I will definitely sue you at the Holy Maiden!"

"Humph!"

Fortunately, the monkey man stopped it in time enough, and Yan Lao Wu temporarily dispelled the idea, and the footsteps gradually moved away.

"Oh, don't be angry, let's go, have a drink with my brother. A feminine voice that had been afraid to speak sounded.

The footsteps of the two left the vicinity of the house, and the laughter outside sounded again.

Hua Ning in the room breathed a sigh of relief for the time being. But then I became worried again, I was going to be sold, and I could only change the earrings? That's not good, the three-year period has not yet arrived, and Luo Buyi hasn't come to find him yet!

It would be nice if her sister was here, if she found out that she was not in Qinghua Palace, she would definitely find herself soon.

Hua Ning shook her wrist slightly, hoping to loosen the rope a little, but she didn't dare to move too much, for fear of alarming the people outside the house.

"Squeak"

It should be that the door of the house was opened, and there was a soft sound, which frightened Hua Ning to quickly stop moving, motionless, and pretending not to wake up yet.

The man must have been very thin, because his steps were very light, and he barely looked like he was weightless. Huh? He's getting closer?

Tonight, the moonlight shines brightly into the house, and the frost is white.

Hua Ning never dreamed that the first thing she saw after her blindfold was taken off was a monkey, she blinked, and then looked, it was indeed a monkey, and this monkey looked quite familiar!

It wasn't until the cloth in her mouth was taken off that Hua Ning reacted and asked, "Is it you? You asked me to save you, right?" She clearly remembered that when she was in Jiujie Hall, she saw a monkey saying the word "save me" to herself from the window, which made her feel pity and wanted to save it from the hands of the monkey man.

The monkey was quite human, and when he heard Hua Ning's question, he nodded, and then despite Hua Ning's shock, he went around behind her and untied the rope for her.

After Hua Ning was shocked, she suddenly remembered that there was still a red tassel that had not been saved, and after looking at this firewood room, she finally found the red tassel lying on the hay by a pile of dry firewood, and hurriedly ran over to help her up, helped her untie the rope, removed the cloth in her mouth, took off the linen cloth on her eyes, and gently patted the red tassel's face before waking her up.

"Miss, you..."

Before Hongying finished speaking, Hua Ning's mouth was covered, and then pointed out the window.

Hongying raised her eyes and looked at it, only to see the fire outside the window, the figures were crowded, and from time to time there was loud laughter coming in, and she quickly nodded to indicate that she knew. But when she retracted her gaze, she saw a monkey behind Hua Ning again, and in surprise, she almost screamed again.

"Shhhhhh Hua Ning instructed softly.

Hongying didn't believe it, and questioned in a low voice: "Is it a half-sized monkey?"

Hua Ning was just about to tell Hongying about the monkey's miracle, when she suddenly felt that her sleeve was pulled, and when she looked back, it was the monkey who waved her hand at her, pointed at herself, and patted the ground with her other hand, making a small piece of clean and flat ground, and then scratched it with her fingertips.

By the moonlight and firelight thrown in from the window, Hua Ning tilted her head, and was surprised to find that the monkey was actually writing, and couldn't help but read: "I... Be... People?!"

Hua Ning and Hongying were stunned on the spot, feeling incredible.

And the monkey grinned, and his eyes were black and white.
