On behalf of the beggar gang, Wu Tianlu investigated the disappearances that had occurred in Liangcheng a year ago, and the missing people were all warlocks and monks.

Warlocks and alchemists are similar to traveling merchants, they do not have a fixed foothold, they all wander around Jiuyuan, and they are no different from wandering. Therefore, even if such a person disappears, no one will find it.

Tang Xiaohao's face was serious, and when he sat there pondering, Little Bell understood that this matter should be more serious than she thought, not because she also analyzed something, but most of the time Tang Xiaohao was a hippie smile without the slightest seriousness, and only when something big happened would he become serious.

Tang Xiaohao asked Dugu again: "You have been coming to Liangcheng for more than three months, have you any other peers you know in the past three months?" ”

Dugu said: "I also know a few, but you also know that your peers are enemies, and everyone will grab food, so they don't interact with each other on weekdays." ”

Tang Xiaohao said: "So, you don't know the situation of other peers in Liangcheng?" ”

After receiving Dugu's positive answer, Tang Xiaohao asked again: "So, do you know any traveling merchants who came to Liangcheng to do business?" ”

Dugu shook his head: "I know one, I heard that he was from the west, and he came to Liangcheng for less than a month and sold out of things, and he left after buying some local specialties in Liangcheng, saying that he went to Fengxun Road." ”

In other words, they bring some things from Xiyuan that are not available in Huayuan to sell, and when they are sold out, they bring some local things to the next place.

Tang Xiaohao heard the words and asked: "So, in the three months you have been here, you have not heard of anyone else missing?" Whether it's a monk, a warlock or a traveling merchant? ”

Dugu is very strange, I don't understand why Tang Xiaohao asked this? He just shook his head and said he hadn't heard of it.

The little bell approached Tang Xiaohao and asked, "What do you mean?" Why do you ask him this? ”

Tang Xiaohao told Wu Tianlu what he said, and then said: "The three professions of Fangshi, Warlock and Traveling Merchant, if they disappear, no one will go to report to the official, but I heard Dugu Yixian say before that he knew that there were traveling merchants who did business here and left smoothly, which shows that the missing people are only Fangshi and Warlock, and the reason for the disappearance must be to come to this ghost place." ”

After that, Tang Xiaohao asked Dugu again: "Why did your brother Xiao Ye and the traveling doctor Xiao Xuan become like that?" How can you be so skinny? ”

Dugu Yiyi sighed: "This is the weirdness of this place, after my brother Xiaoye and I drank the tea and fainted and woke up, we found that we had come here, although it looked exactly the same as the original South Building, but it was empty." ”

At that time, Dugu Yiyi and Dugu Xiaoye were completely confused, and they didn't understand what was going on, until they left the south building and saw the strange moon, and they remembered the legends about the strange moon in various parts of Jiuyuan.

Because in the legend, as long as you can see the strange moon, it means that you have left the original real world, so the two clearly know that they are trapped, but none of the legends say how to get out of this ghost place.

The hungry and thirsty two had to wander around the inner courtyard, and then they found Xiao Xuan, who had been deformed.

According to Xiao Xuan's own account, he has been here for seven days, and there is no food here at all, so he is hungry like that.

Tang Xiaohao heard this interjection and asked, "You became like that because you were hungry?" ”

"At that time, we also thought that Xiao Xuan was hungry because he became like that, but in fact it wasn't," Dugu Yixian explained, his face also became ugly, "It's the yang energy in the body that is sucked away from here, and we don't feel weak because of hunger." ”

Although it is true that they are hungry, the paradox is that the three of them are still energetic, but their posture is slowly changing. Originally, the three of them were still slightly fat, but after just seven days, they were like withering.

Bao Meng interjected: "Don't say seven days, anyone can't survive for three days without drinking water, they can have no food, but they definitely can't be without water." ”

These knowledge nurses have been teaching Baomeng since she was a child, and she is worried that if Baomeng falls into trouble one day, these survival knowledge can save her.

Tang Xiaohao asked again: "Why don't you leave the inner courtyard and go outside to find a way out?" ”

In the story told by Bao Meng, Su Gele also changed directions, and finally came to the junction of the strange moon world and the normal world to get out. In fact, on the land of the Nine Plains, all the legends about the world of the Strange Moon, the surviving people kept trying in all directions before finally being able to escape.

Dugu Yixian explained: "Because it was all fog outside, we couldn't see anything when we went out, so we didn't dare to take risks. ”

Tang Xiaohao got up: "If you don't dare to take risks, you can only wait for death." ”

After that, Tang Xiaohao looked around at the few people in front of him: "Do you want to follow me out to find a way now, or stay here and wait for death?" ”

Little Bell, Bao Meng, and Dongshan Xiao naturally followed Tang Xiaohao, there is no doubt about it, but Dugu was a little hesitant.

After a long time, Dugu Yixian finally said: "I have to bring my brother's body, I can't throw his body here." ”

Although this is not a good idea, Tang Xiaohao also understands the brotherhood between Dugu Yixian and Xiao Ye, so he said: "Yes, but you have to find a way to carry it yourself." ”

——

Time returned to an hour ago, at the same time that Tang Xiaohao and the others were inexplicably brought into the world of Weiyue, Ji Chengying, who was supposed to live in the backyard of the Taishou Mansion, was also so uncomfortable that he woke up from his sleep.

Ji Chengying, who was covered in sweat, opened his eyes, raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and felt the dry heat in the air, as if he had slept in the hot summer.

However, even if it is hot in summer, it will not be so dry, giving Ji Chengying a feeling of sleeping on the kang.

Even though Liangcheng is located in the northwest region of Huayuan, the temperature has dropped in autumn, but it is not enough to use the ondol.

Ji Chengying sat up and shouted while wiping his sweat: "Someone! ”

After waiting for a while, no one entered the house, and no one responded.

Ji Chengying had to turn over and get out of bed, but the moment he touched the edge of the bed, he touched the dust on his hands, and the shoes that were originally on the ground were gone, and the ground was full of heavy dust.

Ji Chengying felt that something was not quite right, and shouted for the iron armor guard as he walked outside. When he walked to the door, there was still no response, and when he raised his hand to open the door, the door on the right side was directly detached and smashed to the ground.

Ji Chengying, who had just woken up from his sleep, was still confused at this time, but he was soon attracted by the blood-red moon in the sky outside the house.

What's that? Ji Chengying walked out of the house and looked at the strange moon that glowed red in the sky, and then he found that the backyard garden that was originally full of greenery and flowers had become dilapidated, overgrown with wild grass, just like this place had been abandoned for hundreds of years, giving Ji Chengying a feeling that he slept directly to the destruction of the world.

"Someone!" Ji Chengying subconsciously took a step back, "Aoki! ”

Still no one responded, Ji Chengying knew that something was wrong, since the day he ascended the throne, there would always be thorns around him to guard, even if his breath was wrong, the thorns would immediately notice the appearance.

Ji Chengying smacked his face, and after confirming that this was not a dream, he was so frightened that he froze directly in place. In an instant, all kinds of negative emotions such as fear and panic filled every part of his body.

This emperor, who has been pampered since he was a child, even won the throne by throwing gold coins, and the queen mother and the great strategist assisted him in major affairs of the court, so he has never encountered real difficulties.

Therefore, in the face of the situation in front of him, Ji Chengying was directly frightened and sat on the ground, looking completely a helpless child.

At the same time, in the backyard of the Taishou Mansion in the real world, all the iron guards and thorns have been mobilized to search for Ji Chengying, who suddenly disappeared, according to Aoki's request.

Before dinner, Aoki saw the peach blossoms that appeared inexplicably and realized that there was something wrong with the Taishou Mansion, so he sent someone to search the Taishou Mansion again, but found nothing, and with the thorn's perception ability, he also found that there was no one else in the Taishou Mansion except for them, so it was reassuring.

After Ji Chengying and Kang Yongzhi finished dinner in the dining hall, the two drank tea and chatted for less than an hour, and Ji Chengying rested and fell asleep.

At the time of the third watch, Aoki and the two thorns suddenly realized that something was wrong, because the three of them sensed that Ji Chengying's breath had suddenly disappeared, so they immediately rushed into the house, who knew that after entering the house, they found that the bed was empty.

After Aoki reached out and touched the futon, he found that the futon was still hot, which means that Ji Chengying was still there before the three of them rushed in.

But what about people?

Immediately afterwards, the three of them looked at the position next to the bed, and the three of them could sense that Ji Chengying's breath was next to the bed, that is, in front of the three of them, but they couldn't see Ji Chengying at all.

The other two thorns looked at Aoki, and in the face of this situation, they were completely confused, although they were not flustered, and they were not flustered.

To confirm, one of the thorns also pointed to the location and asked, "Did I perceive it wrong?" The emperor's breath is here. ”

The other nodded to indicate that his companion had not sensed wrong, while Aoki looked there, his mind full of questions, and instantly connected with the peach blossoms he saw in the afternoon.

Aoki understood that there was indeed a problem in the backyard of this Taishou Mansion, so Aoki immediately ordered a person: "Seal off this Taishou Mansion, search again, and dig three feet into the ground to find the emperor." ”

After the first thorn was ordered to leave, Aoki instructed the second thorn: "You immediately go and find out if there are any troop movements inside and outside Liangcheng." ”

Although there was no warning and no basis, Aoki still had to suspect that the emperor's disappearance had something to do with Taishou Yasushi Yongzhi.

From a logical point of view, the probability of Taishou rebelling is almost non-existent, but there are other reasons for the lack of security, and the biggest possibility is that Taishou himself has some kind of relationship with the Tors Department.

After the second thorn left, Aoki personally led a team of ironclad guards to the place where Taishou Kang Yongzhi lived, and decided to control Kang Yongzhi's family first, regardless of 3721. As long as this Taishou is controlled, it is equivalent to controlling the Tianqian Army.

Although the combat effectiveness of the Tianqian Army is not as good as that of the Shendu Army and the Iron Guard, the number is amazing, and most of the soldiers who surrendered in the Southern Expedition Army were arranged into the Tianqian Army, if nothing else, just because the Tianqian Road is the richest, and only they have money and food here to support the soldiers.

What worries Aoki the most is that Bai Shihui, the general of the Southern Expedition, has been appointed as the commander of the Tianqian Army.

If the emperor's disappearance has nothing to do with Kang Yongzhi, then could it have been arranged by Bai Shihui?
