006, envoy (II)

The tiger baby stood on the hillside for a long time, and finally took the token of Xingyao into her arms, put it together with the national work token, and turned around and left here with a greeting pan. Yan Lingzhu's knife fell to the ground, and the body fell there, but the tiger baby didn't take another look. He's just here to kill people to find out the truth, not to collect corpses and find things!

......

A covered carriage drove out of the west gate of Rainbow City, pulling two horses in parallel and driving the carriage by a well-trained elite warrior. There were two empty horses tied to the back of the cart, apparently planning to travel long distances, and need to change horse-drawn carriages on the way.

On the right side of the car was a long pole, with three long black manes tied at intervals from the top down, and a brass bell hung from the corner of the canopy on the left. The three long manes on top of the pole fluttered in the wind and could be seen far away, and even if the view was blocked, the crisp chimele of the carriage could be heard far away.

This is the messenger's car, it seems that there is an important matter to rush to the national capital, the long pole inserted in the right front side of the car is called a knot, which indicates the identity of the owner of the car. When the envoys sent by the kings of the cities went to see the king, the chariots were black, and the manes tied to the long poles were black, while the envoys sent by the kings to the cities were driven by red knots.

I think that Lord Xiling went to the wilderness as a royal envoy, because the difficult road was difficult for cars and horses, so he arrived on foot, but the red knot has always been held by his entourage.

The messenger's chariot is running on the road, and the long knots and bells are also a signal, and pedestrians who see or hear them must take the initiative to retreat to the side of the road to dodge. And the driver of the car who performs the important task cannot always slow down.

The messenger who set out from Feihong City today ordered Mide to catch the car as fast as possible after passing the Minshui, and all pedestrians along the way avoided the roadside. They set out early in the morning. I didn't even eat at noon, but I continued to rush after drinking water and changing horses on the way, planning to arrive at Yanhui Village at dusk for the night. And Yanhui Village is Yan Lingzhu's hometown.

In the afternoon, it was about an hour before Yan returned to the village, and the royal hand and the horses were already a little tired, but they still bred up and hurried. At this time. Mite saw a man standing in the middle of the road from a distance, and he should be able to see the mane fluttering on the long pole, and even if he couldn't see clearly, he could hear the bell. But he didn't move, he didn't mean to dodge, and he raised a hand here to signal the carriage and horse to stop.

Mide was taken aback and shouted, "Messenger car, get out of the way!" at the same time, he subconsciously slowed down. He can't really trample on the body of a pedestrian.

Someone in the car asked, "What's going on?" Why the slowdown?"

Mite replied, "There's a man standing in front of me, as if trying to stop a car. ”

The people in the car were taken aback, and then they heard a voice shouting from afar: "May I ask the messenger in the car, is it the captain of the village treasure?"

The messenger in the car was surprised and delighted: "It turned out to be Mr. Xiao, stop quickly!"

Before the carriage could stop, Murabao lifted the curtain and jumped down, followed by two attendants. He hurried forward and saluted, "Little sir, why are you here?" Is there anything important?"

Huwa nodded and said, "Of course there is something, the city lord begs me for something." ”

Mura Bao stepped forward and said, "Have you already traced the clue?"

Huwa nodded: "Not only did I find out. And it's done. ”

Murabao lowered his voice and said, "Where are the people?"

Huwa: "It's in the mountains not far from here, you can come with me." ”

Murabao thought about it, ordered the chariots, horses and entourage to stay where they were and wait, and followed the tiger baby into the mountains alone. The attendant reminded him: "Your Excellency, the city lord has orders, you must hurry to the national capital as soon as possible, and there must be no delay on the way. ”

Mura Bao said with a straight face: "Things have changed, you are waiting here." When I get back, I'm afraid I'll have to go back to the city before I can continue my departure. After speaking, he left with the tiger baby, and Pan Gu, who was squatting on the side of the road, also followed the two with his tail wagged.

This section of the road is very difficult to walk, but Murabao is also a master after all, and it is not a big problem to climb through. As she walked, Huwa introduced what happened today to Cun Bao, focusing on explaining the truth about the "Liukou" - what is the relationship between Yan Lingzhu and Nong Neng and others, what happened to the bloody cases two years ago and three years ago, and what is the purpose of Yan Lingzhu and their actions?

The more Mura Bao listened, the more shocked he became, and later he heard that it was the legendary master, Chiwangqiu Xingsha, who descended from the sky and killed Yan Lingzhu, and he was even more stunned!

When the tiger baby finished talking about the general situation, they also walked to the place. Under the setting sun, Yan Lingzhu's body was still lying in place. Mura Bao stepped forward to pick up the weapon that had fallen to the ground, and then attached it to inspect it, making sure that the soldier was already dead.

He stood up and asked again, "Little Sir, where is the cave where Yan Lingzhu is hiding, and what treasures are stored in the cave, can you take me to see it?" As soon as the words fell, he suddenly changed his words, "It's getting late at the moment, if it's a little inconvenient, I can go back first, and then bring someone to deal with it after returning to the city to report to the city lord." ”

Huwa shook her head and said: "I don't know where the cave is, please go back and inform the Hongyuan City Lord, you can order the engineer to bring someone to search, and after finding those things, you will hand them over to the warehouse master for storage." ”

Mura Bao was surprised: "You didn't even find that cave?"

Huwa asked rhetorically: "I'm just here to hunt down Yan Lingzhu, why are you looking for the cave mansion?" I met Yan Lingzhu this afternoon, and then I left here to wait on the road. I heard the Hongyuan City Lord mention it, and I knew that you were going out of the city to the national capital today, so I was waiting for you halfway. ...... Don't go to the national capital yet, go back and report this matter to the Hongyuan City Lord. ”

Mura Bao nodded and said, "I can't do these things, so I can only report the situation here to the city lord." Are you going back to Rainbow City with me, or are you going to stay here and wait for news?"

Huwa shook her head again and said: "Since the reply has been entrusted to you to send it, there is no need for me to go back to Feihong City, and there is no need to stay here, what to do next is Feihong City's own business." ...... Take care, Captain Cunbao, next time you meet Lingbao Zhuang, please help me say hello, and I'll leave!"

After saying this, he saluted the village treasure, and left the place with the pang, but did not return the same way, but went straight through the mountains. After returning the salute, Murabao raised his head, and saw only the back of the tiger baby disappearing at the edge of the mountain forest, his expression was a little stunned, a little puzzled, and at the same time full of reverence and admiration.

Yan Lingzhu must have a heavy treasure, especially for monks, it should be something that is difficult to get in other places, and the Hongyuan City Lord must have known it very well in his heart. If the tiger baby catches up with Yan Lingzhu and takes down this person, the treasure physics institute owned by Yan Lingzhu will naturally become the trophy of the tiger baby, so the Hongyuan city lord will "invite" him to do this.

Xingyao killed Yan Lingzhu and left, and didn't care about anything else, if Huwa took the things in the cave, no one would dare to say a word. But the tiger baby didn't even search for the cave, such a mind and demeanor, and did not let the star of the famous Bayuan shock, but also made the village treasure reverent!

In fact, Huwa was a little curious about the cave and the things in the cave, but she didn't have any interest in searching for it, and she didn't have the slightest idea of keeping it for herself. On the one hand, he didn't need it, and on the other hand, for a more important reason, it was not reassuring to swallow those stolen goods. If you are uneasy, how can you talk about cultivation, and what is the use of treasures for tiger babies?

The tiger baby is not interested, but the village treasure is interested! There is no one else here, so the village treasure searches nearby. He didn't want to steal the treasure, but he was very curious to see what kind of things Nong Neng and the others had robbed, and he created one bloody case after another for this.

At this moment, it was almost dusk, and it was obviously difficult to rush back to the main road before dark, so he planned to spend the night in the mountains, and search before it was dark, and report in detail when he returned, which was also his duty.

Just as it was getting dark, Murabao found a place. The entrance to this cave is very hidden, and it is not easy to find it if you walk by the side of the cliff. What caught the attention of the village treasure was a lonely tomb outside the cave. It was a lonely round mound, with a ring of stones, overgrown with weeds, and it was supposed to be the tomb of the old monk.

Murabao found the cave but couldn't go deeper, because there was a magic circle guarding the entrance. Although the magic circle is simple, it is not something he can dissolve, even if it is forcibly broken by brute force, it will take a long time. Murabao gave up his intention to continue his search, spent the night here, and went down the mountain after dawn.

The attendants and servants were all carrying dry rations, and the chariots and horses were still waiting by the roadside, and they did not dare to leave after receiving orders. Murabao got on the carriage and ordered to turn around and return to Feihong City. Huwa is right, the cave should be opened by the master engineer of the city, and the stolen goods inside should be handed over to the master of the warehouse for temporary storage and waiting for disposal.

Yan Lingzhu was dead, and all the inside information had been ascertained, and the Hongyuan City Lord was greatly relieved. The unexpected appearance of Xingsha also made the city lords very suspicious, but no matter how much he worried, he couldn't worry about the head of Chiwang Hill, so he had to deal with it according to the construction of the tiger baby, and then sent the village treasure to rush to the national capital, this time he could report the detailed case.

......

Two months later, a two-horse carriage drove along the road from the direction of the national capital, and did not slow down when it reached the Minshui bridge. When the sergeant guarding the bridge heard the bell from a distance and saw the red knots in front of the canopy, he knew that it was the king's messenger, so he got out of the way and drove directly across the bridge. After entering Feihong City, the car slowed down, but it didn't stop, and went straight to the City Lord's Mansion.

The lord of Hongyuan City learned that the king's envoy had arrived, and he had walked out of the palace gate to greet him, and it was the king's envoy Fengzheng Xiling who came down in the car. The Hongyuan City Lord said with a smile on his face: "I knew that there would be an envoy coming, but I didn't know that it was you, Lord Xiling! We haven't seen each other for more than two years, and it is really Hongyuan's luck to be able to meet you here again!." (To be continued......)
