Smelling the familiar smell of sulfur,

Yang Dong's face could be described as extremely gloomy.

Nima, the master's cannon battle was obtained by these people with ulterior motives?

Although the cannon battle that blew up the carriage was several times less powerful than the recent version.

But this incident is still enough to arouse Yang Dong's vigilance.

After all, even if it was the first generation of cannons, this thing was made in the Cold Palace Factory.

In other words, there are internal ghosts inside the Imperial Palace, and even inside the Cold Palace Factory!

Thinking of this, Yang Dong couldn't help but gasp.

There is tolerance, there is tolerance, your palace has really been infiltrated into a sieve.

You have always relied on Wei Laogou. But why does this old thing turn a blind eye to the ghosts in the palace?

That's it, after I go back, I have to find a way to meet this first eunuch in the true sense.

If he stays in the palace, he must be hiding an ulterior secret!

"Bingbing, are you alright?"

Yang Dong said, and directly said that she hugged her back to her room.

When Yan Bingyue heard this, she shook her head slightly and said:

"It's not enough to hurt me."

"But...... Isn't this your big baby, brother? Why is it in the hands of these bad guys? ”

When Yang Dong heard this, the expression on his face stiffened slightly.

The cannon battle is thick and long, and it does look like a big treasure.

But there can only be one big baby.

"Ahem, maybe it's in the palace, and the news leaked."

Yang Dong casually coped with it and continued:

"But it's come to this, and it looks like you've been targeted by these guys."

"Since they're going to do it, then we'll have to take it."

When Yan Bingyue heard this, a pair of beautiful eyes flashed with light.

"Senior brother, what are your plans?"

"Isn't what you're holding in your hand the direction we're going to investigate next?"

Yan Bingyue's eyes lit up slightly when she heard this.

"Senior brother is planning to investigate the affairs of these villages with me?"

Yang Dong nodded lightly,

"Yes, so many people are missing at the same time, I don't believe that the so-called mysterious organization in your mouth can hide from the world."

"And...... The martial arts conference is not coming, I have to raise your cultivation to the realm. ”

……

Wuzhou City, among the inns,

After a period of kind words and persuasion, Yang Dong finally let Yao Jia and the little young woman stay here temporarily.

As for Yu Xiaoyu, he was also left behind, waiting for the follow-up of Jian Fuxue.

After arranging these things, Yang Dong took Yan Bingyue and embarked on the road to find clues.

On the carriage, Yan Bingyue pointed to the location of hundreds of villages on the map, and asked:

"Senior brother, on this map, there are hundreds of villages, so we can't investigate them one by one, right?"

Yang Dong shook his head, took the map and looked at it carefully, then pointed to one of the villages and said:

"It doesn't have to be so troublesome!"

"Look here."

When Yan Bingyue heard this, her eyes subconsciously followed the prestige.

I saw that on the map, a village called "Zhaoling Village" was under Yang Dong's fingers.

"This Zhaoling Village is surrounded by mountains, and the road out of the village is an ancient road shared by dozens of surrounding villages."

"As you said before, the people of these villages are missing. In this case, when they left the village, they could not get around this Zhaoling village. ”

Yan Bingyue's eyes lit up slightly when she heard this.

"Senior brother is talented, junior sister is served."

……

Zhaoling Village is located thirty miles southwest of Banbo City.

Banbo City is an ordinary small city in Wuzhou, because half of the city is occupied by the lake, hence the name.

After finding a place to settle in Banbo City, the two rode together and embarked on the road to Zhaoling Village.

On horseback, Yan Bingyue leaned on Yang Dong's arms, and she didn't know if she did it on purpose, but from time to time, she would twist her soft waist.

This can suffocate Yang Dong, if it weren't for the inconvenience at this moment, Yang Dong would be eager to give Bingbing to the Fa on the spot!

Bingbing seemed to feel Yang Dong's condition, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly, completely losing the noble saintess who was as cold as ice at the beginning.

I saw her raise her jade hand and stretch it back gently......

An hour later, Yang Dong led the horse and walked outside Zhaoling Village.

Looking at the empty village, Yan Bingyue frowned,

"Senior brother, in a huge village, you can't just rely on the two of us to investigate, right?"

"Or else?"

Yang Dong glanced at Yan Bingyue and continued:

"Actually...... We don't have to work so hard. I think even if these people are missing, they will definitely not leave any traces in their homes. ”

"They're missing en masse, so they're all supposed to be somewhere."

Yan Bingyue's eyes lit up slightly when she heard this.

"Senior brother mean, ancestral hall?"

"Let's go!"

Yang Dong grabbed Yan Bingyue's tender little hand and walked in the direction of the ancestral hall.

The ancestral hall of Zhaoling Village is located in the middle of the village.

The two of them walked on the village road with a swagger, but there was no movement around them except for the sound of insects.

Looking at the surrounding houses, Yan Bingyue faintly felt a little terrifying. So she subconsciously hugged Yang Dong's arm.

Yang Dong didn't feel much about this.

Instead, he took a serious look at his surroundings.

Along the way, there is nothing special about Zhaoling Village, it looks like an ordinary village.

However, the silence in this village is terrible!

"Senior brother, where do you think the villagers here have gone?"

Yan Bingyue hugged Yang Dong's arm and asked in a low voice.

"It's hard to say."

Yang Dong frowned and gently pushed open the door of the ancestral hall.

In the center of the ancestral hall, there is an old locust tree with a thick hug, and the branches are densely packed with a lot of red cloth strips.

Seeing this, Yan Bingyue subconsciously opened her mouth and introduced:

"This is the custom of the nearby villages, and the villagers will pray to Lao Huai for blessings."

Yang Dong let out an "um", but his eyes continued to look for clues around him.

However, it was as if the villagers had disappeared into thin air.

Whether it was the ancestral hall or the surrounding houses, they didn't leave any clues at all.

Strange, could it be that all these people have disappeared out of thin air?

Yang Dong frowned, grabbed Yan Bingyue's jade hand, and kneaded it gently.

At this moment, he suddenly felt the jade man beside him, and his delicate body stiffened slightly.

Yang Dong was about to speak, but was covered by a jade hand.

Yan Bingyue picked up Yang Dong and hid in a house next to the ancestral hall.

She pointed to the window and lowered her voice:

"Senior brother, there seems to be something just now, it seems to be ...... It's not like a living person! ”

As soon as these words came out, Yang Dong's expression changed slightly, and then a touch of contemplation appeared on his face.

In Zhaoling Village, could it be that there is also an existence similar to Lao Liu?

If so, then you have found the right place to come to this village.

At this moment, he glimpsed a figure walking into the ancestral hall through the window......
