When the silver moon was in the sky, the buildings below the corner tower were illuminated by a piece of torches, and countless government soldiers and even city defense masters formed a circle inside the building complex.

In the middle of the circle is a small alley near the street, separated by a wall from the market outside.

The three corpses lay quietly on the ground, while the dust rolled to the side, and there were still some cracks on the ground and walls, obviously the scene of the murder that had just happened.

Father-in-law with two small yellow doors, standing in front of the crowd, frowning and looking at the three corpses, and then looked around:

"Can you hear the movement?"

Behind the father-in-law, there were masters from all parties who rushed to check the situation after hearing the news, and at this time there was solemnity in their eyes, and one of the old men commented:

"There is no bloodstain, there is not much movement, it looks like someone was killed by a sneak attack from behind, and the person who came should be a top grandmaster with fists and feet."

This is obviously nonsense, as long as the long-eyed warrior can see it.

Seeing this, Gonggong Xu looked at Gonggong Yin, who was patrolling nearby.

Gong Yin had been on the city wall all this time, not far from here, but he did not hear the slightest movement, until a guard turned back from the street and passed through this place to call for help, and he found that there was a dead person here.

Gonggong Yin looked at it carefully for a moment, and felt that it didn't look like the hand of the martial artists of the Northern Dynasty, but he couldn't figure out whose hand was moving, so he turned his gaze to the most important son, Cao Aning.

And Cao Aning's martial arts are not too high, but he has been cultivated by Cao Gonggong since he was a child, and he served in the secret guard, and he can be called a few treasures for the martial arts school of the Southern Dynasty, at this time, he half-squatted next to the corpse of Gonggong Chen, opened the back collar to check the scars, and responded:

"Twisting the neck bone from behind, using Liu Qiansheng's Fulong claw; The two punches hit the back of the head and killed, judging from the force and standing, the arm span is outstanding, and it is not surprising that it is the white ape through the arm fist ......"

Many Northern Liang masters, although they are not deeply involved in the martial arts of the Southern School, have heard of the number of top martial artists, and the old man who has just spoken suddenly bowed:

"It's all Jiang Zahu's unique boxing technique, no wonder I didn't hear the movement......"

Chen Gonggong is a master of the twelve servants, even if it is a sneak attack, only the north and south martial arts can kill with one blow without making the slightest movement, and this martial arts path and strength are obviously matched.

Seeing this, Father-in-law's face was slightly cold, and he tilted his head and said:

"Search the whole city, be sure to find Jiang Zahu's whereabouts."

"Yes."

The 12 people sent by the back were immediately ordered to go down to search and arrest.

But the master present shook his head secretly, after all, judging from the situation of the corpse, the crime had been less than two quarters of an hour.

In two quarters of an hour, for a Wukui-level hero, it is possible to run out as far as possible, even if Jiang Zahu does not run and hide in the city, what can ordinary people bump into it?

Father-in-law Yin knew that it was impossible to catch him again, shook his head and sighed, and came to Father-in-law:

"Jiang Zahu is the martial leader of the Southern Dynasty, and he is still close to the Night Terror Hall, I am afraid that he has been secretly recruited, and at this time he came to the Xihai Metropolitan Protectorate, probably to be the vanguard army and spy on the deployment of the city. If nothing else, the Hall of Night Terrors should be there soon. ”

Father-in-law Xu knew that the Night Terror Hall had deduced the last three Minglong pictures on its own, and it was only a matter of time before he died violently, but as long as he was not sure to die, he would still be the Lord of Yama for these medium-sized miscellaneous fish.

Under the pressure of the king knocking on the door, Gonggong had no way to solve it, so he could only say:

"Huang Liansheng of the desert said that he was sure to contain the night terrors, and the pill he brought over this time, the prince was going to send it to him. As for whether it can really work, it can only depend on the creation......"

After a few words of discussion, Gonggong saw that the surrounding area was full of people, and waved his hand again:

"Carry the corpses back, let's disperse, be sure to step up inspections, and don't let the thieves of the Southern Dynasty disturb the prince."

The warriors who were surrounding the roof of the walled house didn't say much when they saw this, and each of them retired and left the alley.

And Hua Junchen, who had just drunk a little wine, kept standing between the crowd to look at the situation, and when he saw that everyone was scattered, he stepped forward and praised:

"Lord Cao's knowledge is really outstanding, the last time he was in Chunmanlou, Hua opened his eyes, I didn't expect to see it here again."

Cao Aning was originally instructing someone to carry the corpses, but when he saw Hua Junchen suddenly running closer, he sensed in his heart that the three corpses might have other articles.

After all, he knew that the Night Yama King and Hua Junchen were called Bodao nephews, and the deceased was not far from Hua Junchen's residence, so that the Night Yama King and Hua Junchen had a secret meeting, and the possibility of Chen Gonggong accidentally encountering being slaughtered was much greater than Jiang Zahu inexplicably running to the Xihai Protectorate to spy on the military situation.

Thinking of this, Cao Aning bowed his hand and said politely:

"Mr. Hua has won the award."

Hua Junchen came to the front and back, and pondered for a while:

"Although Hua has been yearning for martial arts since he was a child, due to his background, he doesn't know much about the martial arts of the Southern Dynasties, so I don't know if Lord Cao has time? Hua set up a banquet in Tianyun Building tonight and discussed with each other......"

Hua Junchen's words are not only like yearning for martial arts, but also like climbing friendships, and there is nothing wrong with what he said, but Gonggong Chen has just died, and the occasion is obviously not suitable.

Cao Aning's heart turned slightly, and after remembering key words such as tonight and Tianyun Building, he politely refused:

"At present, there is still official business, and when I am free, the younger generation will definitely personally set up a banquet for Mr. Hua to have a drink, and I hope that Mr. Hua can appreciate his face when the time comes......."

"That's ...... nature"

After Hua Junchen said a few polite words, because his father-in-law was already preparing to lead the team away, he didn't say anything more, and turned around and went back to his courtyard......

——

At the same time, Xiao Nan Street.

The Night Terror Hall carried Hua Qingzhi on its back, and under the cover of night, it rose and landed silently between the buildings, and went to the Winter Hades Pharmacy where it once settled.

Hua Qingzhi's expression lying on her back has changed from the entanglement of being reluctant to go home just now, to the grievance of being expelled from the house and forced to marry.

After all, she was kidnapped to the Southern Dynasty for some reason, looking forward to the stars and the moon and thinking about going home, but when she really came back, she found that the wood was already in the boat, and she had already taken the name of elopement on her back, and she couldn't go back.

Daddy's tone just now, what he said was to find a way, don't worry, but the meaning is obviously 'the woman is not staying', and I want to gently persuade her to marry like this.

If it was just Daddy's wishful thinking, Hua Qingzhi would not have been so aggrieved, but Ye Gongzi didn't help him speak, and he really carried her back.

After that, things will not be clear - her father doesn't want her when she goes back, and Yegongzi is willing to take her in, so she can only live in Yegongzi's house, because there is no hope of returning home, and getting along slowly day and night will ......

Hua Qingzhi's personality was originally quite resolute, but no matter how resolute she was, she was also a scholarly lady, she was accompanied by poetry and songs since she was a child, and she was treated as a treasure pet by her grandfather and mother, where did she experience this kind of involuntary situation?

At this time, lying on the shoulder of the Night Terror, Hua Qingzhi's tears slowly fell, but she didn't cry, just shrugged her nose quietly.

Night Terror Hall found that Hua Qingzhi was wronged, and turned around and comforted:

"What Uncle Hua said is also true. You suddenly left Chengtian Mansion, Uncle Hua couldn't explain it and could only say that to the outside world, you just went back like this, it really didn't sound good; And just killed the people of the Northern Liang Imperial Court near Uncle Hua's residence, and you turned around and returned to Uncle Hua's side, the imperial court must be suspicious......"

Hua Qingzhi grabbed her shoulders with both hands, barely suppressed the mixed tastes in her heart, and said softly:

"What about the future? My reputation has been ruined, and I can't go back to Chengtianfu at all, so can I only go away from home and live in the Southern Dynasty for the rest of my life? ”

Night Terror Hall knows that this matter is troublesome, as the saying goes, it is difficult to prevent it, since the day Hua Qingzhi left the Hua family, this matter has been difficult to collect, no matter how she goes, Hua Qingzhi will have to bear the name of elopement in the future, and it is not easy to marry. He thought about it for a while and could only say:

"It's my fault for this, I didn't make it clear to Sect Master Xue. Well...... Why don't you live in the Southern Dynasty first? When the two countries are reunified in the future, I guarantee that the Hua family will become the first family in Hudong Province, so that no one will dare to break their mouths. Or in the future, if you have a sweetheart and take it home with you, as long as your husband has some ability and can help the Hua family, this matter will naturally become a 'beautiful talk'......"

Hua Qingzhi felt that this was one thing - she came back to the night terror hall of the two countries with reunification, who in the entire Beiliang dared to break her mouth and say that she did not abide by the law of etiquette and elopement?

But this is not exactly what Daddy wanted......

Hua Qingzhi was silent for a while, and said seriously:

"I have studied hard since I was a child, I am not a woman without ability, in the future, I will be a staff member of the Southern Dynasty, as long as I help the Southern Dynasty to dominate the world, I will be able to return to my hometown, when the Hudong family sees that I have such a long-term layout, and played such a big game of chess, naturally I will not think that I left, just eloped with someone......"

Night Terror Hall knew that Hua Qingzhi was comforting herself, and smiled at this:

"That's a good idea, that's it."

Hua Qingzhi has no other way at present, and after finding a reasonable identity as a staff member, she didn't say much and came to Xiaonan Street together.

The two dynasties suddenly went to war, and the Winter Underworld, as a relative of the Northwest Royal Court, must be on the side of the Night Terror Hall.

The big pharmacy that was originally opened on Xiaonan Street was naturally vacant at this time, the doors and windows were closed, and a lot of dust and leaves had fallen inside.

Night Terror Hall landed outside the Dan room where Qinghe had been refining medicine, put Hua Qingzhi down, wiped the stool under the eaves and let her sit down, and then went into the house to clean up.

Hua Qingzhi sat quietly on the bench, seeing that the night terror hall was tidying up the house, as her daughter's family, she actually wanted to help.

But her legs were indeed inconvenient, and she was embarrassed to look at it for a moment, and then spoke:

"Sister Lu, when are they coming?"

"I just sent a signal on the city wall, so I should be ...... right away It's already here. ”

While the night terror hall was talking, there was a sound of flapping wings above the courtyard, and the bird fell headlong into the air and landed in the courtyard.

Soon after, Xuanji Zhenren jumped out of the roof with the green bead in his arms and landed in the courtyard.

Fan Qinghe stopped on the roof, first looked around at the surrounding markets, and asked:

"Shocking, did you get into trouble again just now? The city was full of searchers. ”

"I just killed three eunuchs, and I didn't reveal my identity."

Night Terror came out of the house, and when he saw the bird falling to the ground, he took the skirt of the water in his mouth, and pulled her out, probably wanting to eat grilled fish on the street, so he half-squatted down and rubbed his head:

"Don't worry, I'll take you to eat later."

"Twitter~!"

After the green bead landed, he came out of Xuanji Zhenren's arms, and saw the young lady sitting on the bench, with tears in the corners of her eyes, and her heart was pinched, and she hurriedly ran to her:

"Miss, have you seen the master?"

Hua Qingzhi's mind was a little confused, and after bowing to the two big sisters, she got up and let Lu Zhu help her into the room, and sighed lightly:

"See."

"What did the master say?"

"Dad said that the news of my running away from home has spread, and it is not easy to see people when I go back now, so let me wait for a while, and he will find a way."

Lu Zhu's eyes lit up when she heard that the master would not let Miss go back, but she was afraid that Miss would beat her, so she immediately made a worried look again:

"Huh? Doesn't the young lady have to live here all the time? ”

Hua Qingzhi and Lu Zhu grew up together, how could they not see Lu Zhu's thoughts, there was three points of displeasure between her eyebrows, and she sat down next to the bed:

"It's all your fault."

？

Lu Zhu's expression froze, a little aggrieved:

"Miss, I was also kidnapped, how can you blame me......"

Hua Qingzhi's eyes were serious: "Who asked you to scribble on your family book?" ”

Green bead's eyes were innocent: "Xue Nuxia." When I ran over, she knocked the young lady unconscious, and asked me to leave a letter to the family to explain......"

"And then you confessed that I eloped with someone?"

"Or else?"

Lu Zhu sat in front of him obediently: "Miss's daughter, I can't write that you were tied up, right?" In that case, the entire Chengtian Mansion will have to be fried, and only by eloping with someone will Washington not stretch out, and the government will not check everywhere...... And this is not my idea, I asked Xue Nuxia how to write, and she said that she just wrote elopement with Hua'an......"

“……”

When Hua Qingzhi heard this, she couldn't help but remember her revenge again, and snorted lightly:

"It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, don't fall into my hands in the future......"

"Even if not."

Lu Zhu said earnestly: "Xue Nuxia is so powerful, even the night boy is afraid, Miss wants to clean her up, I'm afraid she can only tell jokes and laugh people to death...... Ouch~"

Hua Qingzhi knew that this was the truth, but she was still angry, and raised her hand to flick it on the skull of the green bead......

——

It's late at night.

After Cao Aning assisted Gong Chen to examine the body, he continued to patrol and came out of Zuoxian's mansion and walked down the street to Tianyun Tower in Dongshi.

Although he contacted Hua Junchen just now, Cao Aning didn't know whether he was leaking the news or being polite, but after running for nothing, it was better to stay overnight, and the Great Yama King couldn't wait for a long time, and touched his back and scared him half to death.

Because of the war outside, no businessman dared to run to Xihai Duhufu, and the East Market was much more depressed than in the past, and most of the shops were closed, but big stores such as Tianyun Building were still open.

Cao Aning paid careful attention along the way, and after making sure that there was no tail, he came to the alley on the side of Tianyun Tower, made a patrol appearance, and looked back from time to time to see if the Night Great Yama King had appeared.

As a result, he turned back only twice, and suddenly found that a hairy head appeared from the corridor window on the second floor of Tianyun Building, and looked down at him:

"Huh?"

Seeing Lord Bird, Cao Aning naturally knew that he had come to the right place, so he hurriedly flew up and landed in the alleyway on the second floor, and when he raised his eyes, he saw a black-robed figure walking out of the lit wing.

"Lord Night!"

"No courtesy."

After Night Terror settled in the pharmacy, he didn't stay long, so he brought a few girls and birds here to eat and fill his stomach, and waited for Cao Aning by the way.

Seeing that Cao Aning was coming, Night Terror Hall came out of the house, closed the door, and came to him:

"How's the matter with Grandpa Chen?"

Cao Aning came to him and arched his hand:

"What Lord Ye did, naturally there is nothing wrong, Jiang Zahu himself is afraid that he didn't dare to say that he didn't do it, the palace has already characterized this matter, and Jiang Zahu is being searched for in the whole city."

Night Terror Hall nodded, because the contact time was too long, it was easy for Cao Aning to be exposed, so he asked straight to the point:

"I came with Father-in-law, what is the situation with Huang Liansheng?"

Cao Aning came over to say this, he frowned and said:

Huang Liansheng was very angry, and asked Beiliang for assistance on the pretext of helping Beiliang contain Lord Ye. Li Si, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, spoke highly of this person, and after today's discussion, the little prince has already made up his mind about this matter, and asked the grain officer to start raising grain, grass and ordnance, and sent it to Huangmingshan from the north of the town, and will also send Li Si as an envoy to personally go to the desert to meet Huang Liansheng, and bring the elixir brought from Yanjing......"

Night Terror Hall bowed slightly: "My trip here is to gather all the departments of the West Sea, and this matter must be disturbed." When will the envoy team leave? ”

Cao Aning knew that the Night Terror Hall wanted to kill people and sell goods, so he shrugged his shoulders slightly:

"There is an accident in the city today, the palace will naturally beware of the Great Wei secretly robbing and killing the envoys, according to the words of Gonggong Yin, in order to prevent Li Si from being intercepted and killed by Jiang Zahu, Gonggong Ziliang arranged for Hua Junchen, who has the highest martial arts in the city, and Xu Tianying should be guarded, and the pill seems to be held by Hua Junchen."

"Huh?!"

"Lord Ye, don't laugh first, Zuo Xian's palace is quite an arrangement, Xu Tianying and Hua Junchen were ordered to escort Li Si, if Li Si is slaughtered, or Hua Junchen loses the pill and fails to arrive in time to delay the military plane, they will both be punished if they go back alive. So you can't move. ”

“……”

Night Terror Hall originally had a strange expression, but when he heard this, he didn't smile at all, and took a breath after taking it with one hand:

"Really...... It's better to let Xiang Hanshi come. ”

Cao Aning also felt that this matter was quite outrageous, and Zuo Xian's Mansion had a 'yang scheme' by mistake without knowing it at all-you night terror god blocking and killing gods, right? I've sent your envoys to escort the stakes, do you want to try it?

After the two were silent for a moment, Night Terror spoke again:

"That being the case, then we can only start with Huang Liansheng. When Li Si'an sent the things over steadily, I snatched the pill from Huang Liansheng's hand, and naturally complained that Hua Junchen and Xu Tianying were not good for guarding; Huang Lian was slaughtered, and the dragons of the Shatuo tribe had no leader, and they could not enter the pass again to attack and disturb the Xihai tribes. ”

Cao Aning also thought so: "Lord Ye Gao, I will go to greet Xu Tianying and ask him to leave a mark along the way, so that Lord Night can track him in the desert." ”

"No, I have my own way of tracking it. Let Xu Tianying be dutiful to protect it, and strive for meritorious service mixed with a pill, Beiliang is just a little snow lake flower, and if we eat more, they will have one less, which is also loyal to the imperial court. ”

Cao Aning nodded and bowed:

"Then I quit first."

Night Terror Hall raised his hand to return the salute, and watched Cao Aning hide in the market at the window, before turning around and returning to the room.

In the room, Fan Qinghe stood at the door and listened, while Xuanji Zhenren and Hua Qingzhi were obviously drunk again.

Xuanji Zhenren's cheeks were red, and he looked at the night terror hall with his hand on the side, his eyes were like silk:

"Finished talking?"

And Hua Qingzhi borrowed wine to kill her sorrows, and after a few glasses of wine, she had already leaned on Luzhu and closed her eyes, and Luzhu was also dizzy and hugged Miss, squinting her eyes and thinking about it, I don't know what she was muttering.

Fan Qinghe saw the night terror hall come in, so he asked:

"How's it going? What do we do next? ”

Seeing that Hua Qingzhi was drunk, the night terror hall generously hugged Aunt Fan's waist and pinched it on the moon with her hand:

"The envoy team can't move, so they have to go to the desert to slaughter Huang Lian. Let's eat first. ”

Seeing that Night Terror Hall was sitting down in front of her, Xuanji Zhenren didn't resist it even if she was not honest, she took a sip of her wine glass, and came to Night Terror Hall again:

"Hmm~"

Night Terror Hall smiled softly, hugged one hand at a time, and secretly booed left and right......
