Chapter 118: Missing Persons
Han Changsheng originally planned to fight a "protracted battle" here at the foot of the mountain outside the Shentai Palace with all the people in the rivers and lakes who came to see the grand occasion of the Tao.
He was determined to experience it for himself, and he couldn't miss every minute and every second of this epic battle!
But who knew that he had only been waiting outside the Shentai Palace for two days, and in the middle of the night after the second day after leaving the Li Mansion, he saw Ling He who had a serious and anxious face and hurried to find him.
And the first sentence Ling He opened his mouth was actually an earth-shattering sentence-
"Xie Zhao is gone, and he hasn't returned at night."
"W-What?"
Han Changsheng was dumbfounded, he first looked up at the night that had bottomed out, and asked in amazement:
"Didn't she say yesterday that she was tired and impatient to go out, and that she wanted to stay in the guest house to sleep, so that I was not allowed to bother her about idle things?
She didn't sleep in the house? Have you looked for other rooms? Have you asked the descendants of the Li family? Are you sure you didn't fall asleep in a beautiful garden in a corner of the Li Mansion? ”
Han Changsheng threw countless questions in one breath.
Ling Or frowned and shook his head.
"Yesterday, Xie Zhao rested in his room in the guest house all day, and never went out.
But this morning, she said she was bored and wanted to go to the city to see the excitement, and then she disappeared - I followed, but I didn't. ”
Han Changsheng hissed as if he had a toothache, and said dumbfounded:
"You followed, but didn't? Even you haven't kept up? No way? ”
His voice was so high that he even startled himself.
Then, he came back to his senses and hurriedly looked around, and saw that there was no one around, so he put his mind at ease and retracted his voice and continued to ask in a small voice:
"What realm are you, and what realm is she? You're following her, so you're not handy? How can you still lose people? ”
Ling He shook his head slowly, and generously admitted that his light skills were indeed insufficient.
"Xie Zhao's foreign body style is rare in my life, and I am not as good as her in terms of light footwork.
Although her martial arts realm is low and her internal strength is not good, her light skills are upper-class. ”
Forget about the upper class, but still the upper class?
Is it so exaggerated?
Han Changsheng touched his nose, as if he didn't quite believe it.
But at this time, there is no room for him not to believe, because people are really lost!
With Ling He's calm and rigorous, young and mature character, he would never joke with him about this kind of thing, he is not Xie Zhao's nonsense-filled little conscience.
So, Han Changsheng didn't even have the heart to watch the excitement!
The two hurriedly entered the city at night, avoiding the guards patrolling the city along the way, and separately checked almost all the fireworks willow alleys, taverns and casinos that were still crowded in Zhaoge City at night.
But when the two met again, they found that the other party had found nothing.
It wasn't until the morning of the second day that the two of them had been looking for Xie Zhao separately for a whole night, and they finally confirmed that this little bastard Xie Zhao was really missing.
"But. . . Where can she go? ”
Han Changsheng was puzzled, he was as tired as a dog this night, and he was almost dragged in as a benefactor who went to visit the kiln, and his innocence was guaranteed, and he sacrificed a lot.
When they find Xie Zhao, who has no conscience, he has to take out a few more taels of silver from her as a comfort and reparation!
I thought she had changed her ways after coming to Zhaoge this time, but she didn't expect that she was actually playing a very new thing, and she dared not return at night when she played wilder.
Han Changsheng scratched his head.
"But I remember that when we were in Ruyang before, she seemed to have said that she used to live in Zhaoge City, but now she has no family, so wherever she goes for her home, it counts.
Although she has no family in Zhaoge, there should always be old friends, right? Could it be that you are looking for friends to catch up? ”
Ling Or immediately shook his head.
"No, even if Xie Zhao goes to the city to find friends for a small gathering, if he doesn't return all night, he will find someone to send us a message.
Although she loves to be lively and joking, she has always done things in a disciplined manner and will not worry people in vain. ”
Han Changsheng frowned and pondered, trying to restore the scenario that could still happen.
"Then what if Ah Zhao drank too much? She has always been a bad drinker, and she is always greedy.
Maybe you meet an old friend who drinks freely, but you get drunk and fall into someone else's house, so naturally you can't give us a message. ”
At this point, Han Changsheng himself felt very strange.
Xie Zhao, this guy, he drank too much and felt uncomfortable, and he didn't say that he was in pain.
But if you don't drink it, it's uncomfortable, and you have to say that you are afraid of cold and need to drink a few glasses of sake to warm up.
If you want him to say, isn't this "a big addiction to food"? I am hungry for wine, but I don't have a lot of money.
Han Changsheng didn't know that the world's famous sword "Golden Terrace" that he wanted to wear was actually the "dog beating stick" in Xie Zhao's hand that was wrapped in hemp rope and full of dirt, and even the owner's eyes could not recognize the real body.
For a long time, he only regarded Xie Zhao as a "rookie" in the ordinary Jin Yao Realm.
However, Ling He decided in his heart that although Xie Zhaodong was unwilling to tell the truth, her origin would definitely not be just a slave of the Xie family who might have a reason to be with Lu Hurt Bird.
Xie Zhao actually has a lot of contradictions, she is obviously just a lowly nobody, but she knows a lot about the anecdotes of the rivers and lakes and the secrets of Zhao Ge.
But since she didn't want to tell them at this time, she had a reason to think about it.
Ling Or is not a person who likes to be strong, and he doesn't like to force his friends.
This is also the biggest difference between him and Han Changsheng, Han Changsheng will be curious about many things, and he will naively and simply ask the bottom of the matter.
But in fact, everyone in this world has things that they don't want to talk to others, even between friends, and they don't need to be clear.
However, there was one point, Ling He was vaguely worried in his heart
That is, since Xie Zhao can know Lu Hurt Bird, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no other acquaintances in Zhaoge City.
It's okay if you only meet acquaintances and old friends, but I'm afraid that there will be some old enemies.
If this is the case, with Xie Zhao's three-legged cat's realm cultivation, I am afraid that I will suffer a big loss if I encounter it.
But the secret worry in Ling He's heart couldn't tell Han Changshengming.
Because of Xie Zhao's theft of the "Golden Terrace" of the natal sword that injured the sparrow, the fewer people who know, the safer Xie Zhao will be.
It's not that he can't trust Han Changsheng, on the contrary, he and Xie Zhao trust Han Changsheng very much.
But Han Changsheng is too simple and has never been a fake or disguised. His tongue has always been faster than his brain, in case he is tricked by someone with a heart, he has no intention of revealing anything. This kind of fatal event is naturally better than one less thing.
Ling He's eyebrows locked slightly, looked at the gradually rising sun, and said softly, "I hope so." ”
Han Changsheng also looked up at the sunrise and yawned.
"It's almost dawn."
Then, he raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, trying to dispel the tiredness of his busy night, and then said energetically:
"Last night we had to go to a few fixed places to find people, but during the day it was different.
The two cities in the east and west have opened, and there are many people there and the news is smooth, so I will go to the market to continue to find people to inquire. ”
Ling or nodded.
"Okay, let's go separately, you go to Fang City, I'll go to the outskirts of the city."
