Lingwu Pass North City.

Many travelers have gathered in the car department, some going to the customs and some going to the customs.

As the person in charge of the funds for the escort base, Han Li whistled happily.

For him, who was already busy, this mission was not intended to be the best time to relax.

He looked up at the entrance, and saw that the beast car had been coming for a long time, and said to the auxiliary guard beside him with some impatience: "You go to the public house of the car bureau and ask, why hasn't the car to the Jiayu stronghold come yet?" ”

Hearing the order, the auxiliary guard nodded respectfully, and strode to the public house not far away.

After a while, the auxiliary guard ran out with a solemn face, and quickly came to the cold calendar to report: "My lord, the car department said that the car that started yesterday has not turned around today, and they don't know what the situation is. ”

"Huh? Why didn't such an important matter be reported to the Spiritual Department? Han Li said with a frown.

Obviously, the auxiliary guard didn't know the specific situation, and he lowered his head and didn't answer.

Just when Han Li wanted to go to the public house to ask for clarification, a bloodied escort staggered into the square.

His face was full of horror and he shouted in a trance, "Unbelievable! Spirit... Spirit beast siege... Car, full... All dead! ”

Seeing this, Han Li's heart sank, and he stepped forward quickly, grabbed his wrist and shouted: "This guard is a team of Qizheng Hanli, what is the opposite?" ”

"Cold... Cold... My lord! Today, when the beast car returned, it was besieged by a large number of spirit beasts, and the whole vehicle was ... All... They all died tragically, and the beast's mouth ......"

Hearing this, Han Li's expression was solemn, and the bad premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger.

……

Reimu Kansai Division.

In the spiritual news center, the director Lan Zhan is issuing official documents from the spiritual office to various bases according to the usual practice.

He sent the other strongholds step by step, and when he sent them to the Jiayu stronghold, he found that the spiritual power band over there was actually in a silent state.

Immediately, his heart sank, the spiritual machine of the office yamen is not as good as that of the people, and it is stipulated that it should be smooth around the clock.

After frowning and sending it several times in a row, he suddenly felt bad, and hurriedly went out to report to the commander.

Lan Zhan hurriedly came to the Sigong Hall and broke in despite the guards' obstruction.

"Mu Si, something happened to the Jiayu stronghold!"

Pushing away a few colleagues who were in the way, he shouted to Mu Ying, the commander of the main seat of the public hall.

"What are you talking about?"

Mu Ying, who was flipping through the recent case files of the Spiritual Department, suddenly got up, stared at Lan Zhan and asked in amazement.

"Jiayu... Jiayu is missing. ”

Airplanes!

Hearing this, Mu Ying's mind buzzed, and when she thought of Zhu Biao who was in Jiayu's stronghold, a haze suddenly surged into her heart.

"Lan Zhan, you continue to contact the Jiayu stronghold." He paced back and forth behind his desk and hurriedly ordered. "Order a team to assemble the Lingwei and take the beast car to the Jiayu stronghold to find out the situation."

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

Just as the herald auxiliary guard was about to go to the public house of a team, a spiritual guard stationed at the station of the car department hurriedly came to report.

"Report! The Jiayu route of the car department is out of control, and the beast car is destroyed by the spirit beast! ”

"What?"

At this time, Mu Ying's brain was completely down, and there was no response to the current grim situation.

The team that came in a hurry saw him lose his mind, and immediately shouted loudly: "Mu Si, please give an order." ”

Awakened by him, Mu Ying came back to his senses and immediately ordered: "Xue Yang, you lead your Lingwei to set off immediately and rush to the Jiayu stronghold as soon as possible." ”

"Subordinates, let's go!"

Seeing that Mu Ying had restored his former charm, Xue Yang responded with a heavy fist.

It took at least five days to go on horseback riding, and I don't know what happened to the Jiayu stronghold, and I don't know if it can support these five days.

Thinking of this, Mu Ying's face flashed with melancholy, and the uneasiness in her heart became heavier and heavier.

——————

Outside the small courtyard of the Xu family.

Early in the morning, Deng Zhen received a letter from the Xu family's maid, and he didn't even care about Xisi's order, so he hurried to Xu's house.

After half an hour of hurried, he rushed to the Xu family's courtyard with some anger.

Looking at the closed courtyard door, he didn't have time to breathe, so he hurriedly stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! ”

A hurried knock on the door broke the silence of the early morning, and a cautious voice was heard in the courtyard.

"Who? Who's out there? ”

Hearing this female voice, Deng Zhen thought that it should be the girl mentioned in the letter.

He suppressed his throat and replied softly, "It's the sister of the Xu family, right?" I'm a friend of Ye Yu, and I'm here to ......."

"Squeak!"

Before he could finish speaking, the courtyard door was suddenly opened, and a petite and delicate girl appeared in his eyes.

Looking at the girl inside the door, Deng Zhen was a little distracted, and he couldn't help but cry out in his heart.

"You're a male... Brother Yu's friend? ”

"Exactly! In Xia Deng Town, he is the same Lingwei as Brother Ye. ”

"Yikes! Are you also a Lingwei? Xu Xiaoya's tired face showed a hint of surprise.

"Little sister-in-law, let the little brother enter the yard first, it's cool outside." After holding his breath and concentrating, Deng Zhen straightened his mind and said with a wry smile.

"Oh, oh, oh!" Xu Xiaoya was a little embarrassed by his sister-in-law's call, and hurriedly got out of the way and said, "Deng Gongzi, please come in!" ”

Entering Xu's house, Deng Zhen was invited to the living room, and after listening to Xu Xiaoya's story, he showed a trace of puzzlement.

"Sister-in-law......"

Xu Xiaoya's eyes were gloomy, and she said in a low voice: "Deng Gongzi still call me Xiaoya!" ”

"Huh!"

He didn't know what was going on between Ye Yu and her, and when he saw that she was in a bad mood, he changed his words and said: "Sister of the Xu family, your father's matter is a little weird, it is said that since Jinyiwei released Uncle Xu, then he will definitely not be taken away again." ”

Deng Zhen thought for a moment and continued: "There are not many forces that dare to openly rob the imperial court officials in the Lingwu Pass, and I don't have any good ideas for a while. ”

"Will... Could it be that the garrison did it? Zhang San, who was waiting on the side, asked hesitantly.

"No!" Deng Zhen's eyebrows tightened, and he shook his head and said: "The actions of the garrison can't be concealed from the Spirit Department, and I haven't heard any news in Xisi in the past few days. ”

"That's... Is it possible that it was the Dead Soldiers' Battalion? ”

"Huh! What did your family do? How can you guess at such a big force at every turn? ”

"This ....."

Seeing Zhang San's hesitation, Xu Xiaoya sighed and said the matter of Bai Yan in one breath.

"Shhh Admire, admire! Brother Ye has such a magical method? ”

Listening to the cause and effect of the whole incident, Deng Zhen couldn't help but take a breath.

“……”

Xu Xiaoya was a little confused, is this the key to the matter? The point is that her father's disappearance was caused by white salt.

"Ahem!" Seeing that Xu Xiaoya's face was not good, Deng Zhen said: "If this is the case, then the person who kidnapped Uncle Xu should have come for the white salt formula." ”

"Recipe?"

"That's right! You may not know what's going on. He nodded heavily and said solemnly: "As you said is true, if the cost of white salt is not high, then it will be valuable." ”

Later, Deng Zhen carefully explained the powerful relationship between white salt and coarse salt and the ability to create massive wealth.

Hearing this, Xu Xiaoya's eyes widened and she looked at him in disbelief.
