The "Jianghu Bai Xiaosheng" is drinking tea in the teahouse. He is a well-known news dealer in the capital, and this news is sold and bought. Those who want to inquire about him, and those who want to sell him news, can find him here today. However, the business was not very prosperous today, and he drank tea while listening to the storyteller's legends. The stories are very cliché and cookie-cutter. Storytelling in the capital is naturally indispensable to some stories of Changping in the world and the happiness of the people, and it is not very interesting to listen to too much. He put down the tea bowl, took out a string of copper coins from his bosom and threw it on the table, and wanted to take the deal and go home.

I didn't expect that the stalls were about to close, but there was a big business.

Zhang Ji took Jian Shaolin and Ji Cunyan together, and was led to his table by Xiao Er.

The little second was familiar with Bai Xiaosheng, and said to him: "Sir, these people have something to do with you." ”

Bai Xiaosheng raised his eyelids and looked at the three of them, and saw that Jian Shaolin was dressed extraordinarily, and Ji Cunyan was even more well-dressed, just her pair of glass earrings could take care of her business for about a month. Bai Xiaosheng immediately smiled all over his face, stood up and asked the three of them to sit down, and gave the shopkeeper a string of copper coins as a reward and sent him away.

"What do you call three?" Bai Xiaosheng asked Jian Shaolin with a smile.

Looking at his temperament, Bai Xiaosheng decided that Jian Shaolin was the leader of the three.

Zhang Ji rushed in front of Jian Shaolin and said: "It is inconvenient to tell Mr. our name, what we want to inquire about, we will naturally give Mr. a good price!" ”

Bai Xiaosheng smiled: "That's it, it's okay." I don't know what the three of you want to inquire about? ”

Zhang Ji said: "Sir, do you know if there are any major events in the rivers and lakes recently?" ”

Bai Xiaosheng frowned slightly, touched his chin, and thought for a while: "Your Excellency asked like this, but I don't know how to answer." If you talk about major events on the rivers and lakes, does the change of Wudang head count? Today's flood in the South China Sea has flooded the Congyun Taoist Temple, is it counted? ”

Zhang Ji said: "But it's not such a trivial matter. ”

Bai Xiaosheng sighed: "Good girl, this is still called a trivial matter, so I don't know what Your Excellency wants to inquire about, which is the big thing?" ”

Zhang Ji asked: "Recently, there are any rumors of the sudden disappearance of the masters in the various sects on the rivers and lakes?" ”

As soon as Bai Xiaosheng heard this, the color of his face changed greatly, he put away his philistine smile, looked at the three of them carefully, and then lowered his voice and said, "How did Your Excellency know that there are masters of all these major sects who suddenly disappeared?" Although these things are known in Xiaxia, these news are transmitted to Xia's ears in bits and pieces. Many sects have masters missing, but in order to stabilize the morale of the army and prevent other sects from taking advantage of loopholes, these missing things are only hidden from each family, and other sects have no way of knowing. ”

"You mean...... Are the masters of many sects missing? Ji Cunyan couldn't help but ask.

"That's right! Don't you know that, too? Bai Xiaosheng heard Ji Cunyan ask like this, and he was also puzzled.

Jian Shaolin frowned and said, "Many sects...... How many are there, exactly? ”

"It's not very clear in the next place, but I also said it in the next place, and these news are all passed to the next ears in bits and pieces. I may not know everything below, but the number of people will be only a lot more. ”

"What does the gentleman know?" Zhang Ji asked again.

At this time, Bai Xiaosheng was silent, just touched his chin lightly and looked at the three of them with his eyes.

Zhang Ji knew this, and then turned around to look at Jian Shaolin.

Jian Shaolin was digesting the shocking news that many masters on the rivers and lakes had disappeared, and it was only after a while that he realized that Zhang Ji cast a meaningful look at him. He raised his head and looked at Zhang Ji suspiciously, and then looked at Ji Cunyan, who was also looking at him.

"Do what?"

Zhang Ji took down his chin and nodded Bai Xiaosheng, and said to Jian Shaolin: "Give money!" This is not for nothing. ”

Jian Shaolin reluctantly took out a silver ticket from his arms and handed it to Bai Xiaosheng.

Bai Xiaosheng saw that Jian Shaolin made a generous move, and immediately put on a smiling face again, and said to Jian Shaolin: "There are a lot of missing people. There are Shaolin's Tongbei Shenquan Kuci Monk, Wudang's Minyun Daoist, Liu Yiye, the head of the Kongtong faction, Lan Xing, the protector of the Five Poisons Sect, Lu Guangming, the helmsman of the Salt Gang, and so on. I can't finish talking about this for a while, so I'll write a list for you here! ”

After speaking, Bai Xiaosheng really took out a pen and paper from his arms, lowered his head and wrote down a long list of names.

Coming out of the teahouse, Jian Shaolin put the list into his arms.

Ji Cunyan said as he walked: "It's really nerve-wracking, I originally only wanted to inquire about one person, but now it's like stabbing a hornet's nest, and a group of people have emerged." I don't know if the disappearance of these people has anything to do with the case we want to investigate. Maybe it doesn't matter at all, isn't it just a hundred flowers? ”

Jian Shaolin said: "For Tianlongwei, these messages will definitely not be useless. The wind and grass on the rivers and lakes are moving, and Tianlongwei is watching it closely. Now that the Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, His Majesty has a whim to go out of the palace to observe the people's feelings. I see that Tianlongwei and the Imperial Front Army are very nervous, but now there is news of the disappearance of many masters on the rivers and lakes, which makes people have to link these things together. But if it really does, then it's a big problem. ”

Zhang Ji waved his hand and said: "When the country is peaceful and the people are safe, it will not be enough." These Jianghu people who shout and kill seem to be able to walk sideways on weekdays, but they are very afraid of the official yamen. As the saying goes, the people don't fight with the officials. Whoever does something out of the ordinary is afraid that the imperial court yamen will anger his own sect, and the gains will outweigh the losses. ”

Jian Shaolin said helplessly: "I hope so!" Although this is the case, but Xiao Ji, you have to go back and tell your third brother about this. Let him inform Commander Luo, just in case. Small season? ”

Jian Shaolin looked back, but he didn't see Ji Cunyan again. He was horrified in his heart, frowned and asked Zhang Ji, "Where is Miss Ji?" ”

Zhang Ji said: "I was still talking just now." You might see something on the side of the street, so run and see it. ”

The two looked around, but they never saw Ji Cunyan again.

Now the two of them were dumbfounded.

Last moment, this girl was still by the side of the two, talking to the two, why did the person disappear in the blink of an eye?

Although the West Market is mixed, it is too outrageous to arrest people on the street.

Instead, Jian Shaolin calmed down first and asked Zhang Jidao, "Are there any strange movements around you?" ”

Zhang Ji said: "No, the two of us are so close, you won't be able to detect the movement I can detect, right?" ”

Jian Shaolin held the saber, and cold sweat broke out on his head.

It's too much to take lightly! This place is so complicated, and Ji Cunyan is dressed up like that, like a lamb strayed into a wolf's den, she should be taken care of!

Zhang Ji then pulled his throat and shouted in the middle of the downtown street: "Ji - inch - Yan!" ”

But even the crowd of people passing by around him didn't give him half a look.

Zhang Ji was also anxious at this time, and said to Jian Shaolin: "What's the matter?" Although Xiao Ji is naughty, he is not a temper without a generation. Is it really lost? I think about this place in the capital, and it won't be ......."

Jian Shaolin took out a small bamboo tube from his arms and raised his hand to release the signal in the tube. A firework roared into the air, then burst into the air again, turning into a yellow firework.

Zhang Ji took out the broken silver from the money bag and raised his hand to scatter the silver around.

At this time, the indifferent pedestrians around them stopped, and began to squat down with their heads down to pick up and snatch the broken silver on the ground.

Seeing that he had attracted everyone's attention, Zhang Ji took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms and asked loudly, "Where did the girl in yellow go?" Whoever can do her whereabouts will be the money's. ”

At this moment, several people hesitantly raised their hands and pointed towards an alley to the east.

These people are all pointing in the same direction, and it seems that they are not lying. It's just that for some reason, they don't want to open their mouths to remind the two.

Zhang Ji walked into the person who looked more normal and asked him, "If you still have something to tell me, the price will be doubled." ”

The man then stumbled, "...... Pulled into a carriage. ”

Zhang Ji turned around to look at Jian Shaolin. Jian Shaolin had already chased him into the alley.

So he pushed all the money on his body to the man, and said to him, "Go to the front teahouse and wait for me, you should make a fortune today, and I will come back to you in a while!" ”

After speaking, Zhang Ji also followed Jian Shaolin to the alley.

Helplessly, Zhang Ji's light skills were really not good, Jian Shaolin was comforted by Ji Cunyan, and at this time, he had already run so much that he couldn't see his back. Zhang Ji could only run all the way along the deep alley.

Jian Shaolin had wind under his feet, and he ran for more than a few miles in the blink of an eye, and sure enough, he saw several men in short gray clothes, holding a wooden cart with manpower, and they were galloping forward. The wooden cart moved very fast, and it didn't look like a human being at all.

Jian Shaolin looked down, these people's footprints were low and shallow, pulling such a big carriage and walking so fast, these people must not be ordinary people. Nine times out of ten, Ji Cunyan was kidnapped by them and thrown in this car.

Jian Shaolin didn't have time to think about it, so he clicked on the ground with his left foot, jumped up, crossed the wooden cart, and stood in front of the gray-clothed man.

The men in gray were forced to stop, and they all frowned at the uninvited guest.

Jian Shaolin looked at them coldly and said, "The people in the car, put them down for me!" ”

The men in gray looked at each other, and the man on the left reached into the ground of the wooden cart and suddenly drew a long sword.

This person should be the leader, and when the rest of the gray-clothed people saw his movements, they also took out their weapons from the hidden place of this wooden cart and besieged Jian Shaolin.

Jian Shaolin's face was not afraid, he just drew his sword to meet the enemy.

This group of gray-clothed people is not bad at martial arts, but Jian Shaolin is even more skilled, after dozens of rounds, a few gray-clothed people have already folded into his hands and fell to the ground, but Jian Shaolin is becoming more and more courageous, and has the momentum of one enemy and one hundred.

At this time, Zhang Ji arrived in a hurry, he gasped and held on to the handle of the wooden car, and was about to step forward to open the door curtain.

At this time, a gray-clothed man frowned when he saw Zhang Ji's actions, and immediately turned around and attacked Zhang Ji.

Zhang Ji's eyes widened, there was no way to avoid it at this time, he could only wave his hand and take out a talisman from his waist, seal it in his hand, and push the talisman out.

The talisman lit up in response, but it bloomed like a firework at night, a dazzling light. The gray-clothed man didn't expect the talisman in Zhang Ji's hand to have this effect, but he didn't pay attention, his eyes were stimulated by this flash, and he only felt a tingling pain. He covered his eyes and screamed, and when he broke open his eyes, he felt that his eyes were so blind that he could no longer see clearly.

Zhang Ji took this opportunity to jump into the wooden car and open the door, but saw that the car was empty, and there was no half of a figure.

Zhang Ji turned back to Jian Shaolin and said, "Lord Jane! Hit the trick! Xiao Ji is not in the car. ”

Jian Shaolin looked back when he heard the sound, and saw that behind the curtain opened by Zhang Ji, there was no one in the car.

He was angry in his heart, and his subordinates were even more ruthless, only to hear the sound of the sword gradually hurrying, and in the blink of an eye, none of these gray-clothed men were still standing on the spot.
