Chapter 40: Tracking
A Lou Qingqing who intends to plot against him, a licking dog Shangguan Chong who only has Lou Qingqing in his eyes, and a Lieutenant Nie Yun who seems to regard him as a rival in love.
No matter how Lin Xiu looks at it, he feels that their task force is very unreliable.
I only hope that this operation can be successfully completed.
The four of them left the Demon Slayer Mansion in the evening.
Yunteng Town was far away from Jiangning City, so in order to catch Murong De earlier, it was naturally impossible to walk.
The four of them rode on the fiery horses specially provided by the Demon Slaying Mansion.
I heard that this horse is very irritable, has excellent physical strength, travels thousands of miles a day, travels eight hundred at night, and can gallop non-stop day and night.
Although Yunteng Town was two days away from Jiangning City, it only took Lin Xiu and them about a day to get here.
Yunteng Town, in the east of Jiangning City, is famous for selling seafood, there are many seafood merchants here, and there is also a large seafood market.
As soon as they entered the town, they first found a restaurant and ordered a few bowls of yellow croaker noodles to fill their stomachs.
A pungent smell of fish came from the nose,
Lin Xiu and the four of them were at the dinner table, talking and laughing.
Compared with the overnight rush, after arriving at the destination, eating a full meal undoubtedly made their spirits a little lighter.
It is the task of capturing Murong De, and no one dares to relax their vigilance.
After eating the noodles, Nie Yun took Lin Xiu and the three of them and walked towards Murong De's house together.
According to intelligence, Murong De has lived in this town since he was a child, and he is an honest farmer, except for those who have not married a wife in their thirties, everyone else is the same as ordinary people.
On the way to Murong De's house, Nie Yun walked ahead without saying a word.
Lin Xiu and Lou Qingqing walked side by side.
Shangguan Chong, who was walking behind, looked at Lou Qingqing, who was very close to Lin Xiu, and sighed, not understanding why such a personable and beautiful man as him was rejected by the other party thousands of miles away, is this reasonable? Absolutely unreasonable.
At this moment, Lin Xiu's face was solemn, it was the first time to perform this kind of task, and it was fake not to be nervous.
Lou Qingqing said: "Brother Lin Xiu, don't be afraid, there is only one person on the other side, and there are four of us, and the advantage is on our side." ”
According to the information provided by the informant, Murong De's cultivation in the Ning Dan Realm is almost the Golden Body Realm of Martial Cultivation, while the cultivation of Fu Wei Nie Yun is in the Feather Transformation Realm.
In terms of strength, Murong De really has no chance of winning.
After Nie Yun discovered Murong De's whereabouts, he immediately issued a mission and set off overnight, which took no more than two days, in this case, the possibility of news leakage was extremely low.
In terms of time, Murong De has no chance of winning.
A short time later, at the end of the town, the four of them arrived at their destination, they were standing in an alley, and they saw a very secluded farm yard in the distance.
"That's Murong De's home."
At this time, Nie Yun took out a delicate small box from his sleeve, the box opened, and a red ladybug flew out of the box.
Lin Xiu, who saw this scene, was very surprised.
This seems to be very similar to the White Lotus Sect's insect control technique, could it be that in the Demon Slaying Mansion as the righteous path, there are also exercises similar to the insect control technique?
If there is, then he wants to learn it, so that the insect control technique that has not been cultivated will have the opportunity to cultivate.
Let's ask Su Wanyi in the future.
After a while, the ladybug flew back from the courtyard, stopped in front of Nie Yun, and spun in a circle.
Nie Yun pondered for a while, glanced at Lin Xiu and the others, and said:
"There is no ambush in the yard, action!"
Lin Xiu, the four princes of the Demon Slaying Mansion, walked quietly and quickly on the deserted street, approaching the small courtyard.
Approaching the earthen wall of the courtyard, they slowed down, Lou Qingqing stepped forward, stretched out his hand and knocked on the wooden gate a few times, making a delicate voice: "Excuse me, is Brother Murong at home?" I'm Xiao Lou, a post boy at a nearby post house, and I have a package of yours outside. ”
Unexpectedly, the way of checking the water meter and sending warmth in the Demon Slaying Mansion was exactly the same as that of later generations, which made people feel more cordial......
Lin Xiu complained, and Nie Yun jumped up and flew into the courtyard.
Shangguan Chong remained motionless, and then noticed the strange gazes of the two colleagues who flew into the courtyard, and hurriedly whispered: "There must always be one person outside, look at the wind, right?" ”
God is so desperate for the wind.
Brother, you're from the atmosphere group, right?
Lin Xiu was speechless for a moment.
He and Nie Yun quickly entered the hall in front of them, their eyes slowly sweeping over the kitchen, bedroom, bath, and bullpen behind the hall......
It was a simple courtyard, dilapidated and shabby, and it didn't take long for it to be checked.
And the two of them patrolled for a long time, but they didn't see a single figure.
After that, he exited the hall, opened the door latch, and met Lou Qingqing and the two outside the door.
Lin Xiu said: "There is no one in the courtyard, Murong De doesn't know where to run. ”
Lou Qingqing worried: "He shouldn't have received the news and ran away, right?" ”
Shangguan Chong shook his head and said, "Impossible, absolutely impossible." ”
Nie Yun stuck his spear in the dirt in the courtyard, and immediately said, "Murong De is far away in Yunteng Town, it is impossible to receive the news that we have arrested him, he must have gone out to do farm work?" The three of you, go find a few people in the nearby town and inquire, where did this Murong De go early in the morning? ”
"Yes."
Lin Xiu and the three of them looked at each other, and after walking out of the courtyard, they acted separately.
Lou Qingqing went to the east.
Shangguan Chong went all the way to the west.
Lin Xiu didn't delay, and walked straight to the bookstore not far from here.
Then I saw that at the counter of the bookstore, an old man, wearing a dark blue robe, with white hair and beard, and a wrinkled face, was holding a pen and writing on paper.
"Uncle!"
Lin Xiu stepped forward and shouted.
The old man ignored him and continued to write.
"Do you know where Murong De, who lives opposite, went early this morning?"
Lin Xiu asked.
The old man did not respond to him, and did not even lift his head.
"I am the duke of the Demon Slaying Mansion, I have a few things to do with Murong De, I want to ask, do you know where he went today?"
Lin Xiu asked politely again.
But what answered him was still the silence of the old man.
Okay.
Soft, it won't work.
Lin Xiu's heart suddenly swelled up with a plan, he pulled out the saber on his waist and threw it at the old man's neck:
"Your uncle, what the hell, do you want to talk about it? Believe it or not, I'll whip you with this big knife! ”
The attitude is tough, and it works.
The old man immediately raised his head and said tremblingly: "This official, be merciful, Murong De went to Xiaobichi in the southwest early in the morning. ”
Little Bichi?
What a ghost name.
Looking for Nie Yun, he must know.
Lin Xiu's heart moved, put away the saber, and left the bookstore.
Murong De's home.
Nie Yun stood by the spear, closing his eyes and resting.
When Lin Xiu walked over, he asked, "How's the inquiry?" ”
Lin Xiu said: "He is in the small Bichi in the southwest. ”
At this moment, Shangguan Chong also walked in from outside.
Nie Yun asked Shangguan Chong the same question while opening the map of Yunteng Town that he had prepared in his arms.
Shangguan Chong replied: "I inquired, there are four widows living in this Yunteng Town, the youngest is only eighteen years old, and she is very ......."
“???”
Lin Xiu looked at Shangguan Chong.
Nie Yun also looked at Shangguan Chong:
"I asked you to inquire all morning, and you found out this?"
That is, people can't, at least shouldn't......
Lin Xiu shook his head.
Shangguan Chong coughed and said embarrassedly: "Yes, I am mainly inquiring about Murong De, he went to Xiaobichi in the southwest early in the morning. ”
It's the little blue pond again.
The answer is the same.
Lin Xiu's heart tightened.
At this moment, Lou Qingqing's eyes were red and he ran in from outside:
"Woo, Nie Fuwei, the people in this town are too bad, I politely asked them about Murong De's whereabouts, and they actually scolded me for Xiao Bichi......"
