Chapter 119: Searching

"Drive! Drive! Drive! Mo Yunxiao smoked her horsewhip and stared at the front with her eyes fixed on the front for a moment.

"Helu! Slow down, the horses won't be able to stand it! Li Qingzhao shouted while barely catching up behind.

But Mo Yunxiao turned a deaf ear, just rushed forward vigorously. In a moment, she pulled the reins, and the rider stood up and hissed, and finally stopped, and began to gasp for air, and layers of mist came out of his thick nostrils.

In an instant, Li Qingzhao also drove his horse to arrive. She looked sideways at Mo Yunxiao, and saw that her face was full of anxiety, and her mood couldn't help but become heavy.

Mo Yunxiao pointed forward with the hand holding the horsewhip, and the two large pools of blood were very distinct.

"There's going to be a drama here," she said. ”

Li Qingzhao got off the horse, stepped forward to take a closer look, and said, "Yes, there were originally two male corpses here, but why are they missing?" ”

Mo Yunxiao said: "It must have been the companions who carried the corpses away, but it can be seen that they are so flustered that the blood stains have not been washed. ”

"Big girl! The lady of the Li family! Zhao Mingcheng, who had been late, finally arrived, followed by Zhang Di and more than a hundred cavalrymen of the forbidden army.

Li Qingzhao sneered and said, "Hmph! He had arrived so much an hour ago that I could not examine the two bodies closely. ”

Zhao Mingcheng got off the horse, came to Li Qingzhao's side, and said in despair: "Two ladies, you are in too much of a hurry, and you can catch up after a lot of hard work." ”

Li Qingzhao put on a cold face and ignored him, only Mo Yunxiao said: "Zhao Yanei, Wan'er, I guess Yunxiang probably fell into the hands of this gang of thieves, but I don't know who killed them." ”

Li Qingzhao stepped forward and said, "There are two possibilities, internal fire and external encounter. ”

"If you encounter a strong enemy, who will it be?" Mo Yunxiao asked.

Li Qingzhao thought about it, his eyes were also wide, and when he was about to answer, he was preempted by Zhao Mingcheng: "King Jian!" ”

Li Qingzhao hated him for robbing his words, so he gave him a blank look, but he didn't say anything.

Mo Yunxiao nodded with a smile, and said, "The place where King Jian is imprisoned should be heavily guarded. He alone could not escape. Unless there is an external help. If the thief who robbed Yun Xiang and the thief who rescued King Jian were merged, then Yun Xiang probably also had two places to go. ”

"Yes, one was robbed by King Jane, and the other was still robbed by the previous thieves." Li Qingzhao said: "However, there is also a possibility that the person who robbed Yunxiang and rescued King Jian were the same group, perhaps because of the uneven distribution of the spoils. ”

"Hmm." Mo Yunxiao nodded in agreement, and at the same time said, "But at the moment, I don't have time to take care of anything else." I only care about Yunxiang's whereabouts. So she only has two possible places to go. ”

As she spoke, she pointed to a winding path ahead and a large road in the opposite direction.

Li Qingzhao ran a few steps towards the path of Mo Yunxiao's finger and looked into the distance, but when he saw the shadows of the trees and the winding paths, he suddenly felt a little timid in his heart.

But when she turned around, she saw that Zhao Mingcheng was also looking at her, and her heart was full of pride, so she said: "Helu, let's act separately, I'll go this way, and you lead the troops there." ”

Mo Yunxiao smiled and said, "It's time to act separately, but the soldiers always have to divide some of you." ”

"We?" Li Qingzhao was a little puzzled.

"Naturally, it's you and Zhao Yanei." Mo Yunxiao said.

"Humph! What a burden. Li Qingzhao just muttered in a low voice, just as a tacit acquiescence.

Zhao Mingcheng greeted Mo Yunxiao and said, "Miss Mo, this Li family lady is mean, I won't go with her." ”

"Zhao Defu, ...... you" Li Qingzhao was about to have a seizure, Mo Yunxiao hurriedly stopped her with her eyes, then got off the horse, pulled Zhao Mingcheng and said, "It's critical right now, don't be discouraged." ”

She looked at Li Qingzhao, who was just sulking alone, from a distance, and said with a smile: "The lady of the Li family is impatient, and she needs you to circle more." In addition, you are a seven-foot man, she is just a woman, let her go alone, can you rest assured? ”

"But she ......"

"She's not bad." Mo Yunxiao said: "Since you come to help me, I will naturally accept your affection, and Wan'er and I don't know each other." Both of you are my dear friends, and I want you to love her as much as you love. ”

There was another layer of deep meaning in Mo Yunxiao's words, but Zhao Mingcheng was concerned about it and didn't hear it.

He also glanced back at Li Qingzhao, and saw that she was staring at him with a pair of angry eyes, so he said, "Okay, big girl, I have the right to give you face, just bear with me." ”

Mo Yunxiao patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "This is the mind of a big husband!" ”

Then, Mo Yunxiao came to Zhang Di's horse behind him and said to him: "Zhang Neiguan, please bring out some more soldiers and let Zhao Yanei and the lady of the Li family take them." ”

Zhang Di sneered and said, "This is a forbidden army, originally to protect the imperial city. It's an exception for the official family to be specially transferred, do you want us to give people to others? Our dynasty has never had such a ...... since the founding of the country."

Before he finished speaking, he saw that Mo Yunxiao's eyes had become very sharp, and he couldn't help but shiver.

"Forget it, the county officials are not as good as the current management. This girl is really crazy. The hero doesn't suffer the loss in front of him, so he still depends on her. ”

Zhang Di had made up his mind, so he pretended to cough a few times, leaned over and whispered: "Okay, let's give you a face, and we will send fifty soldiers for them to take with them." ”

Mo Yunxiao glanced at the soldiers behind him and said, "Fifty is not enough, there are seventy." ”

Zhang Di's face turned purple with anger, and he said angrily: "Mo Yunxiao! Don't deceive people too much! ”

"Zhang Neiguan, I'm tired of hearing what you say, is there anything fresh?" Mo Yunxiao said in a somewhat mocking tone.

Zhang Di's face turned red, so he had to wave his hand and say, "Okay, according to you!" Even so, our family should go with them, it is too dangerous to be with you. ”

Mo Yunxiao looked up to the sky and said, "No! I want you to follow me. Did a few little thieves scare you? ”

"You ......" Zhang Di was helpless, so he could only sigh in vain, waved his hand and called a hundred household chiefs behind him, and said, "You take seventy brothers, together with Zhao Yanei and the lady of the Li family." ”

"Whoa!" As soon as the chief of the hundred households agreed, he rode his horse and shouted, and seventy horsemen rushed out with him.

Li Qingzhao couldn't help but be grateful when he saw it, but he was also worried about Mo Yunxiao, so he had to say: "Helu, you gave us seventy percent of the soldiers, what can you do yourself?" ”

Mo Yunxiao said with a smile: "I once sneaked into King Jian's Mansion alone, and I came over in such a dangerous way, you don't have to worry about me." ”

Li Qingzhao couldn't help but laugh and said, "It is said that you Mo Yunxiao is a female Yama, and I have seen it today." ”

So the two sides gave each other a few words of advice and took their own people.

Mo Yunxiao first came to the collapsed grass house to check, and saw that the four fields were pitch black and couldn't see it really, so he beckoned Zhang Di behind him: "Raise the lamp." ”

Zhang Di was angry, but he was helpless, so he had to take a lantern to illuminate her.

Mo Yunxiao and the soldiers turned over the collapsed roof and saw the tables and chairs pressed underneath and the oil lamps that had long been extinguished.

She leaned down to examine it closely, and finally found two pieces of hemp rope. "It must be for tying up." She muttered.

"Maybe Brother Ling was imprisoned here." Zhang Di interjected.

Mo Yunxiao looked back at him, saw that he was uncomfortable, and said, "Our family is just speculation, you just don't say it." ”

"No, you have a point." Mo Yunxiao picked up these two ropes and said, "However, if you tie up one person, why do you need two ropes? According to my guess, there was one other person here besides Yunxiang at that time. ”

"Could that person be King Jane?" Zhang Di interjected again.

Mo Yunxiao looked at him and said with a smile: "Maybe that's the case." ”

"Humph! It's ridiculous too. Zhang Di shook his head again and again, and said: "Since King Jian can escape from the forbidden land, he thinks that there must be a group of brave bandits under his command, how can he be captured here?" ”

Mo Yunxiao smiled: "There is a saying called bold assumptions, be careful to verify, have you ever heard of it?" ”

Zhang Di was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had heard it wrong, and unconsciously said: "What? ”

"In my opinion, it may be so." Mo Yunxiao said while gesturing, imprisoning Yunxiang and Zhao Qi here, and then trying to escape, but accidentally alarmed the thieves in the process, and a fight broke out between the two sides, and the result of the fight was the destruction of the grass house and the killing of the two thieves.

She made a wonderful hypothetical deduction, but the more Zhang Di listened, the more unbelievable he felt, so he said: "This is too bizarre, I thought that someone else would come, and the two sides would have a fierce battle." ”

Mo Yunxiao shook his head and said, "Judging from this place, it doesn't look like there has been a large-scale fight. First, there must be a noisy sound of fighting, which will probably alarm the surrounding farmers. Even if it doesn't alarm the farmer, the farmer's dog will bark. But there seems to be no sign of that. Second, if there is a fight, there will never be only two deaths. ”

Zhang Di was quite unconvinced and said: "Your deduction also has a lot to consider. ”

Mo Yunxiao nodded and said, "Exactly." Therefore, deduction is only deduction, and cannot be regarded as a conclusion. Now, let's verify it together. ”

She got on her horse again and galloped in the direction of the road. Zhang Di had no choice but to get on his horse again, and followed closely behind with the rest of the cavalry.

Li Qingzhao and Zhao Mingcheng walked very slowly, because the road was winding and overgrown with bushes, so they could not ride horses, so they had to get off the horse and lead them, carefully under their feet, for fear of slipping.

After walking a short time, they saw a pond, which sparkled and reflected the bright moon in the sky on the water.

Zhao Mingcheng walked a few steps quickly and found a burned-out bonfire not far from the pond. He touched the ashes and felt a hint of warmth, and said, "Someone came not long ago." ”

Li Qingzhao also came over and leaned over to touch it, and said, "I guess I can't go far, maybe I can catch up." Chase! ”

So the crowd chased after them. But the road was slippery and frosty, and the wind was tight in the middle of the night, and after walking for an unknown amount of time, this crooked path could not be completed.

"Wait!" Li Qingzhao suddenly raised his hand to stop everyone's steps. Her eyes were fixed on the hole in a small dirt slope on the side.

The entrance to the cave was deep and cramped, and from a distance it looked like a mysterious abyssal mouth.

"We've been walking for a long time, and we've come back around." Li Qingzhao said with some annoyance: "I saw this hole when I first came, but I never thought I would see it again." ”

Zhao Mingcheng said: "Since you are here, you will go in to explore." ”

Li Qing glanced at him and said, "I want to explore you." ”

Zhao Mingcheng's face turned red, and he also raised his breath and said, "I'll go if I go." ”

As he spoke, he let go of his horse, took a torch from the head of a hundred households behind him, and walked away quickly. The hole was so deep that he only took a picture of the surroundings, and the hairs on his body stood on end.

At this time, he couldn't help but secretly regret it, but when he turned around and saw Li Qingzhao looking at him with disdain, he stimulated his self-esteem again, and leaned into the hole.

He was relieved when he entered the cave, and it turned out that the cave was not as deep and terrible as it was seen outside, but only a shallow and pitiful little cave, and there was a faint smell of smell in it. It was the smell of animal feces after it was burned, Zhao Mingcheng grew up in the house of the official eunuch, so he naturally didn't know anything about it, and could only smell this strange smell.

He shone it inside with a torch, but he didn't find anything special, and he was a little embarrassed. If he gets nothing, Li Qingzhao will inevitably mock himself again when he goes down.

He had this in mind, so he inspected it very carefully in the cave, but Li Qingzhao outside was already a little impatient.

Suddenly, his torch flickered, as if he saw something shining. He hurriedly shone the torch again, and when he looked closer, it turned out to be a silver hairpin.

He held up the silver hairpin and looked at it, the top was inlaid with green agate, and a small purple grape carved from jade hung out.

Although such a silver hairpin is not extremely noble, it will not be worn by ordinary women.

With this discovery, Zhao Mingcheng was overjoyed and hurriedly turned around and went out.

"Li family lady, look!" He handed the silver hairpin to Li Qingzhao and said, "Could this be Miss Mo's object?" ”

Li Qingzhao took it and took a look, he was also surprised, and asked, "You found it in the cave?" ”

"Exactly." Zhao Mingcheng nodded and said.

"These eight achievements belong to Miss Mo Er." After Li Qingzhao finished speaking, he raised his head and looked around, and said, "It's just, where will she go?" ”

The voice did not fall, only listening to the head of the hundred households, "Eh! The ground cried out, and he fell to the ground and died.
