However, Takeda ignored his words and said to the driver, "Keep to the right...... Drive slow! Let the car behind pass first, and if he stops, we will stop first! ”

The car drove slowly on the right. At this moment, the car behind sped away, stirring up sand and dust, making it impossible for people to open their eyes and even breathe. Suddenly, a person stood up from the car, and it was the masked stranger.

Bai Lang couldn't help but exclaim, only to see the man stretch out his right hand and fire two shots in a row. Hit Takeda. Takeda fainted. But those people of country E didn't know that that person was Bai Lang's fierce rival - the murderous demon.

"Rubbish! If you don't chase it quickly, he's a murderous demon. Bai Lang shouted angrily.

But the people of country E, who were already frightened by all this in front of them, didn't trust him at all. I watched the car disappear into the dust. Takeda's injuries were not serious, but he passed out in his seat.

The rest of the people of country E didn't know where the car was going, so they had to drive the car into the forest, heal his injuries, and wait for him to wake up.

In the evening, a troop of cavalry arrived from the ancient city and said to Takeda, who had just woken up, "The minister is very worried that the two of them will not arrive on time, lest something happen to him, so he has sent us to meet him." "Escorted by cavalry, it took almost two hours to reach the ancient city.

Under close surveillance, Shirarou was sent to a building near the ancient city. Shirarou lived in a room that wasn't too big, and the windows were grilled, and the door was locked from the outside.

After a long night, Shirarou was taken to a living room with simple decorations. Through the window of the living room, you can see the huge old city in front of the courtyard. The walls of the city are crawling with vines, silent, and eerie. The large table in the living room was filled with official documents and newspapers that Takahashi had reviewed. And in the important places of the official document, red pen comments are added.

"Bai Lang, did you bring the secret documents?"

"I'm sorry."

Hearing Bai Lang say this, Takahashi's face changed a little: "It seems that you deceived me the night before yesterday!" ”

"I'm definitely not lying to you, the documents are hidden here."

"Then find it out! No, I'll go with you. ”

"It doesn't have to be like that, Minister. It's not easy, we have to find out where to hide before we can get the documents. That's what it takes time. ”

"How long will it take?"

"About 24 hours."

"It's going to take that long!" Takahashi then turned to Takeda and asked, "Takeda, how is your injury now?"

"It's just a little skin injury, and as a soldier, it's nothing."

"Well, you look pretty good! Then you can pick five guards and watch Bai Lang, but you can let him move freely in the ancient city. If he doesn't find the secret documents by noon tomorrow, that's a lie. When the time comes, he will be escorted back to Dongzhou and handed over to Liu Zhenyu, the mayor of the city. After saying this, Takahashi left rather unhappy.

Bai Lang then sat down on the big chair, took a minister's cigar and smoked it casually. "Takeda, the minister seems to be waiting a little impatiently. But I'm glad he gave me a chance to be free. It's almost time to start looking. Come with me, too! ”

Takeda didn't answer with a gloomy face, called the guards in, and then ordered them to keep a close watch on Hakuro.

"Alright, let's go together, Shiraro."

"No, wait a little longer." Bai Lang took a leisurely puff on his cigar and said, "Let me think again." ”

"What else do you want to think?"

"A place to hide secret documents, of course!" Bai Lang leisurely took a leisurely puff of his cigarette and said nonchalantly.

At this time, Takeda was already a little anxious, and said angrily: "What, a hidden place?...... Didn't you tell the minister that you already knew the place?"

Bai Lang couldn't help but laugh after hearing this: "Ha, ha, ha, is that possible?" Takeda, a far-sighted person like you, couldn't find it with a lot of trouble, and the arrogant detective Wu Changhao couldn't find that place after four days. How could a prisoner like me from a prison know? I said yes, but I just wanted to rely on the prestige of the minister to leave the prison and borrow a strategy to get here. Both the minister and you have been taken advantage of by me. ”

Takeda trembled with anger. Bai Lang was only happy to be alone, extinguished his cigar and said, "It's not early!" Takeda, and these five gentlemen, it's time for us to go! As he spoke, he slowly stood up. Hakuro and Takeda began to search for secret documents.

Takeda and the guards followed Shirarou for more than two hours in the city, but still did not find the slightest clue about the secret documents being hidden.

"Oh, you must be tired. It's time for lunch, right?" Bai Lang looked relaxed, but he was very anxious in his heart. Among them, the murderous demon has always been a big problem in his heart.

He was always following me in secret, sabotaging and disrupting my plans. Until now, I hadn't figured out his true identity and confused me, but he got ahead of me and wounded Takeda. He must have been secretly hiding near the ancient city, because he also wanted to get the secret documents.

Killing Fang Haigao and hindering me are all for this reason. What is incomprehensible is how did he know that I had come to the ancient city with the help of Takahashi? This guy's whereabouts are really inscrutable.

He seemed to be everywhere and always knew what I was doing. Well, it's highly likely that he sent spies around me to spy on my every move. In a word, he is my formidable rival. If I don't find him for a day, I won't be at ease for a day.

While thinking about the current situation, Bai Lang was carefully searching, and the time was already more than 4 o'clock in the afternoon, but he still had no clue.

"Takeda, among the servants of the last generation of the city lord, are there any still alive?" Shirarou said in E.

"Most of the servants fled for their lives when the city was destroyed. But only one person has stayed here. ”

"Where is he now?"

"He died two years ago."

"Does he have any descendants?"

"I have an only child who also lives in the city after marriage, but then the family fled for some reason, leaving only the youngest daughter, named Ma Ziya."

"Where is that girl now?"

"It's nearby. When the people of the city saw that she was pitiful, they adopted her. She's a mute...... No, she could speak a few words, but no one could understand her, and she herself looked inexplicable. ”

"Was she born mute?"

"I don't think so, it's said that it took me 10 years old to become what I am now."

"Why is this the case?...... Is it sick? Still hurt ?......"

"It's not clear. It is said that her father was an alcoholic, and her mother committed suicide due to madness. In other words, the reason why Ma Ziya is like this may be because of her parents. Maybe, maybe maybe it's because of polio!"
