Chapter 40
The next day, the inn was quiet as usual.
Jiang Ze passed by yesterday's guest room, the body of the shopkeeper was no longer there, and the broken doors and windows and the spilled blood stains were also cleaned, as if nothing had ever happened.
I was very tired from rushing for days, and I didn't have the intention to clean up last night, Jiang Ze planned to leave during the day and no longer ask about the matter here, but I didn't expect the body to disappear.
"Where's the shopkeeper's corpse?" Jiang Ze called Xiao Er and asked.
"Last night, Xiao cleaned up the guest room overnight, and took advantage of the night to carry the body to the back mountain and bury it, which can be regarded as a son-in-law. Xiao Er bowed down and replied, "The little one will clean the empty house every day, so the little one is self-made, and I hope that Gong Engong will not blame." ”
"It's okay, but a big living person just disappeared, and your daughter-in-law will notice it in a few days, so how can you say it then?" Jiang Ze asked.
"I only said that the shopkeeper was kidnapped by the previous group of mysterious people, and I am afraid that there will be more luck and less luck, so I persuade him to escape here with me as soon as possible. ”
"You are quite clever, it stands to reason that you can mix up everything, how can you be willing to do things for the money-greedy shopkeeper here?"
"I'm pregnant, and I wanted to take her back to my hometown, but it's a pity that Yue... The shopkeeper didn't let us leave, saying that pregnant women should not run around and work hard. Xiao Er was helpless.
"Well, in the future, do some small business, this is a place of right and wrong, and it is not advisable to stay for a long time. Jiang Ze patted Xiao Er's shoulder and walked down the stairs, turned around and said, "Leave as soon as possible, the farther you go, the better." ”
Xie Engong instructed. Xiao Er bowed his hand.
"By the way, do you still have any sweat pills left by those people?" Jiang Ze asked.
"Xiao swore never to do such a thing again, how dare he hide harmful medicine privately!" Xiao Er thought that Jiang Ze was cheating him, and hurriedly swore to the sky.
"It's okay, I'm just asking. Jiang Ze waved his hand, looking at the people who scared them.
Seeing that Jiang Ze didn't seem to be cheating him, Xiao Er's mind turned, and he stepped forward and said, "If Engong needs it, I'll go to the shopkeeper's room to search, maybe there is still left." ”
"Okay, it's best to find it, and it's okay not to find it. ”
Jiang Ze smiled knowingly, Xiao Er did have some ability to observe words and feelings.
The sweat medicine that can fascinate the monk has other uses for himself.
Jiang Ze plans to fill the empty core carved needle that has been depleted with Mithril with medicinal powder as a secret trick to win by surprise.
At the moment of life and death, no matter whether the means are despicable or not, the most important thing is to save your life.
Meanness is the pass of the despicable, and nobility is the epitaph of the noble.
This trip is full of dangers, and one more life-saving means will give you one more chance of survival.
The second daughter-in-law is delicate, petite, with a slight bulge in her lower abdomen, and is preparing breakfast downstairs.
After putting the hot tea and beef noodles on the table, he bowed slightly and said: "The small shop is a small business, and only beef noodles are available for breakfast, and the guest should not be disgusted." ”
"No, it's nice to have something to eat, thank you. Jiang Ze nodded in thanks.
The second daughter-in-law returned the salute and turned to leave.
She had just killed her father yesterday, and although the shopkeeper was innocent, he was still a little embarrassed when facing her.
Jiang Ze feasted on it, and the ingredients grown in the Xuandao Continent were nourished by aura, and the flavor was better than that of the earth's beef noodles.
After eating and drinking hot noodle soup, the whole body is refreshed.
Xiao Er saw that his daughter-in-law had returned to the backyard, so he sneaked downstairs and secretly handed a small packet of medicinal powder to Jiang Ze.
"Engong, there are still these, I don't know if it's enough?" Xiao Er said softly, afraid of being heard by his daughter-in-law in the backyard.
"Enough, the shopkeeper's heart is really big, this big bag of medicinal powder is enough for twenty or thirty people. Jiang Ze weighed.
"I still have to hurry, so I'll take my leave. Jiang Ze got up and admonished, "Don't procrastinate, take chances, those people are powerful monks, and it is easy to kill you." ”
"Burn down the inn before leaving, so as not to leave any traces. ”
"Thank you for the point, keep in mind the little ones. "Xiao Er kowtowed.
"Farewell. ”
Seeing Jiang Ze leave from a distance, Xiao Er got up and thought about the escape path for himself and his daughter-in-law.
At the fork in the road ahead, Jiang Ze sat on the horse sent by Xiao Er, stopped at the side of the road, and identified the direction according to the map mark in his mind.
One more day will be able to reach the Dragon Cave, so we have to speed up the journey.
There are only two bad horses in the inn that transport goods, and Xiao Er bluntly said that since he wants to escape, it is useless to keep the horses.
forcibly stuffed Jiang Ze with a horse, and left a horse to pull the carriage himself.
Jiang Ze saw that he couldn't get rid of it, so he had to accept Xiao Er's kindness, and riding a horse could also save a lot of mental energy, so he wouldn't be as tired as before.
Ying Wu climbed the canopy, saw the smoke and dust raised on the road from a distance, pinched the trick with one hand, and the eagle eye technique was immediately deployed.
Looking at it from afar, it is clear from afar.
A young man in his early twenties with a sword on his back rode his horse toward this direction.
Shadow didn't roll over and fell back into the shade, his vocal cords vibrating low, and a flew over to follow the sound, it was the one who had spoken to Arashi before.
It's no wonder that Lan was able to hide for more than two months in the search of several people, and it turned out that the used by the opponent to communicate had already been rebelled by him.
Kageai wrote down a brief message, tied it to the ankle, and released it.
Deep in the dense forest, the chickadee flapped its wings and landed on Ning Dao's shoulder.
Ning Daoyi took down the information on the feet of the, and after checking it, he stimulated his true qi and burned the information to the embers.
"Someone is coming. ”
"What person?" The other four people tightened their hearts, and two rescue messages were sent one after another, could it be that the Moon God Sect really sent a master?
"Don't worry, it's just a second-order small shrimp in the military realm, and I don't know how to avoid the back hand of the inn. Ning Daoyi said calmly.
"Two villains who are greedy for money and afraid of things, they have more than enough success and more failures, and they are expected to be recognized. ”
The rest of the people had a boulder in their hearts on the ground, and if there was really a great master, they could only flee for their lives.
Commissions are exciting, but they're worthless compared to small lives.
"Why don't we go and end up with him?" the two of the eighth order of the military realm suggested.
The previous battle did not contribute much, and two months of manhunting did not find anyone.
If you don't work hard, most of the commission will be deducted when the task is settled, so you have to brush up on your presence.
"No need, if it is someone from the Moon God Sect who comes, and another rescue message is issued, it will inevitably attract the attention of the Moon God Sect, and this bounty mission can only end here. Ning Daoyi waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need to.
After seven days of searching, none of the two people hiding in the forest were caught.
Arashi was nowhere to be found, not even a trace of it.
Although Lianshan was found several times, the dark and dense forest was too big, and the rest of the people couldn't support him, so he injured one person and left.
"Let him go, he should just come to find the spiritual essence of the leyline, don't startle the snake," Ning Daoyi said, "Let Ying Wu keep an eye on the intersection, this little shrimp can't turn over any wind and waves." ”
"As long as Lan doesn't leave, Lianshan won't run away alone. ”
"Don't search separately now, the fourth-order of the Dou Realm is with me, and the rest of you are in a group of three, if you encounter it, don't fight hard, just drag him and wait for us to support," Ning Daoyi arranged, "Be sure to find it within two days, you can't drag it out any longer, I'm afraid of change." ”
"Good!"
Ahead was the dark and dense forest, Jiang Ze walked to the road crossing, and saw the scattered branches beside the road.
Looking up in the dazzling sunlight, the tops of several giant trees were crushed by blunt objects, and the fracture marks should have been caused by axes.
"Has Lianshan met an enemy here?" Jiang Ze pulled out the horse, pulled out the refractory light, and held it in his hand to guard.
The canopy of the tree was attacked, and it was supposed that the spies hiding on it had been discovered.
Jiang Ze immediately unfolded the realm of the heart plate, and the radius was under control.
No anomalies were noted, and they may have long since left.
Jiang Ze inserted the refractive light back into the scabbard and continued to bury his head in the road.
In the bushes thirty zhang away, Ying Wu breathed a sigh of relief, this person seemed to have mastered a special investigation technique?
Yesterday's shower, the footprints on the road were no longer visible, and Jiang Ze had to search along the main road.
The realm of the heart disk has been open, and no clues have been found, and the ten-zhang range is still not enough.
The horse suddenly stopped and nearly threw him out.
Jiang Ze was interrupted by Ma'er's sudden move, and his knowledge of the sea was shocked.
The horse paced restlessly, and suddenly rushed into the dense forest, and galloped wildly.
The protruding branches beside him flew by, scraping on his face with burning pain.
I don't know what crazy this horse is, Jiang Ze had to lie on the horse's back.
After galloping all the way in the dense forest, the horse finally stopped, Jiang Ze quickly turned over and dismounted, his stomach churned, and he almost vomited.
Riding a horse is much more uncomfortable than riding a car, not to mention Jiang Ze, a beginner.
After running wild for a long time, people are already tired.
Jiang Ze tied the horse to a tree, sat down to eat some dry food, and took a nap by the way.
Perhaps it was because he was too tired from the day's travel, and soon after he closed his eyes, he began to snore evenly.
A quarter of an hour passed.
Half an hour has passed, Jiang Ze has not woken up, and even saliva is still dripping from the corners of his mouth.
At this moment, a pair of eyes suddenly appeared in the tree next to him from among the cracked bark!
His eyes stared straight at Jiang Ze.
After a long time, seeing that Jiang Ze did not move, a figure slowly walked out of the tree.
There was a twist around him, and the figure appeared, covered in mud and colored with the bark of the tree, and the trunk of the tree was cut out of a human-shaped tree hole, hiding in it.
If he hadn't walked out on his own initiative, no one would have noticed that there was a person hiding in the tree.
This person slowly approached the sleeping Jiang Ze, the true qi in his hand condensed, raised his hand and turned into a palm knife, and slashed at Jiang Ze's head sharply!
"You're the one who's waiting!!"
