Chapter 396: No Trace
Cui'er turned into a streamer and came to the Great Zhou Kingdom, and according to the address given by Qingtian, it was easy to find Zhen Xiaowu's home.
Cui'er stood under the pomegranate tree in the courtyard, looking around at Xiao Wu's dilapidated home, feeling sad for a while.
Xiao Wu has a noble status, where has she suffered like this? It seems that she has not had a good life in this life.
Aunt Sun, who was straddled a basket, happened to pass by, and when she saw Cui'er looking around, she asked suspiciously: "This son, are you here to find someone?"
Cui'er, who was dressed in men's clothes, looked back at Aunt Sun and asked, "Excuse me, this is Xiao Wu's home, oh, I'm her cousin, I want to come and see her?
When Aunt Sun heard this, her eyes immediately turned red, and she sighed, "Oh, it's Xiao Wu's cousin, it's good that you came early, Xiao Wu left home...... It's been more than four years, and it's been since the last time I sent her father...... When I came back for burial, I didn't hear from her, and I didn't know about the child...... Now, how is it going? Alas, a child of misery!".
Cui'er sighed in her heart, "Then you know, where is Xiao Wu now?"
Aunt Sun wiped a handful of tears, "It should be in Fengcheng, before, she sold herself...... To a large family...... We don't know who they are."
"Slaves?"
Aunt Sun sighed, "Yes, Xiao Wu, this kid...... Very sensible, in order to give his father ...... To pay off gambling debts, she put herself ...... Sold it...... Alas!".
Cui'er walked everywhere, and she had already sensed and distinguished the breath of Xiao Wu staying at home, and when she listened to Aunt Sun's chatter, she realized that she was often hungry because she had a father who was a gambler and a mother who was riddled with illness.
Zhen Xiaowu's tragic childhood made Cui'er feel pity, and when she pushed the door into the house, she felt even more uncomfortable.
Zhen Xiaowu's family is too poor, and it can be described as a family with four walls.
Cui'er turned her head and said to Aunt Sun, "I'll go find her, and I'll redeem her."
Aunt Chen cried with joy, "Oh, great! Her cousin, if you can redeem Xiao Wu, our fellow villagers will ...... We will all thank you, when her father was buried, we thought...... Redeem her, how can she be saved by her master's house...... Resolutely disagree, you are Xiao Wu's family, presumably they will agree, great! Oh, by the way, three days ago, two men in black also came to inquire about Xiao Wu, her cousin, you must hurry up...... Find her".
When Cui'er heard this, she suddenly became nervous, "Excuse me, those two men...... What does it look like?".
Aunt Sun thought for a while, "What's it?...... Oh, it's very strong, like a martial arts practitioner, fierce, I look at it...... It's not like a good person, the clothes they wear are quite strange, not the style of the Great Zhou Kingdom, and what's even more strange is that they walked very fast, in the blink of an eye...... Just disappear, her cousin, is there anything wrong?".
Cui'er pretended to be calm, "Oh, no, I'll go to Fengcheng...... Looking for Xiao Wu...... Ransom her".
Aunt Sun nodded, "Okay, cousin, redeem Xiao Wu...... If you don't have enough money, come back to Aunt Chen, my house is in front of here, Xiao Wu, this child, everyone likes it, and the villagers will be happy to help."
Cui'er was moved in her heart, in the eyes of the immortals, mortals were fragile and lowly, but she didn't expect to be so sincere and kind.
Cui'er nodded, "Okay, Aunt Sun, don't worry, money is not a problem, thank you and the villagers for helping to take care of Xiao Wu all the time."
Only at this time did Cui'er truly understand Qingtian's anxiety, and she could also understand his helplessness as the commander of the Million Heavenly Army, who couldn't be distracted.
Although Zhen Xiaowu is no longer the original Xiao Wu master, the fundamental soul is still one, and her kind nature is the same, her soul must not be hurt.
Walking to no one's place, Cui'er turned into a streamer and came to Fengcheng, following the smell of Xiao Wu staying at home, until she found a small dirt slope with wild grass in the city, feeling that the smell was getting bigger and bigger, but Cui'er's heart was getting tighter and tighter.
Under a tall tree, Cui'er saw an earthen tomb, an ordinary stone tablet engraved with the words "Zhen Xiaowu's Tomb".
Cui'er's brain "boomed".
"Zhen Xiaowu in the world...... Dead too?"
Cui'er walked around the earthen tomb, the smell was exactly the same, and after a closer look, she found that this tomb was an old tomb, at least three or four years old, which could say to Aunt Chen, but it couldn't say to the prince Qingtian's words "Xiao Wu is in danger now".
"Didn'......t you lie?"
"The three or four years on earth, that is, the three or four days in heaven and earth, the present of the sky, refers to the present, or the three or four days before?......"
“......”
Cui'er began to regret that she was angry with Qingtian and didn't ask about Zhen Xiaowu, so she left in a hurry.
Thinking that Qingtian was not a nonsense talker, Cui'er had some doubts in her heart, but she only suspected that when a lowly slave died, how could someone build a tomb and a monument? Who built it? It must be someone who knows Zhen Xiaowu.
Cui'er decided to find the smell of Zhen Xiaowu elsewhere in Fengcheng, and by the way, she learned about the trajectory of her life, and entered the old palace in Fengcheng.
The people in the palace have moved to the new palace of Haojing fifty miles away, and even the last king of Zhou has left, and only some guards and guards are left in the old palace.
Ten minutes after sunset, Cui'er walked in the empty palace, following the faint smell, looking for a few places, but there was no trace of her.
Cui'er forced the two old temple people to kneel in the corner, put the sword on the neck of one of them, and asked: "Say, have you ever seen a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl?
The two old temple people were trembling with fright, and one was bolder and replied, "No...... I don't know, the palace maids who enter the palace have to be re-...... and if it is the name of the family, no one knows."
"How can you find that?"
"Shaoxia, you can go to the superintendent...... Check the file, there will be records of the situation at home and in the palace"
"The superintendent of the division...... Where?"
The old temple man trembled and said: "We have all moved to the new palace, we haven't been there, I really don't know, the young man is looking for ...... Only to go to the new palace, we say...... It's all the truth."
Cui'er understood that the two of them were not lying, and she didn't want to expose herself, so she scared: "Today, I will spare you two lives, and you are not allowed to say it to others, otherwise, I will kill you both."
The two temple people waved their hands again and again, swearing in their mouths, "Don't dare! Shaoxia, we will never dare to say it, if we violate it...... The sky strikes with five thunderbolts".
Because she was manipulated by the lonely crane in advance, the smell that Cui'er got in Xiao Wu's house was not Zhen Xiaowu's, but the smell of the little palace maid who replaced her buried in the tomb.
It is said that four years ago, Zhen Xiaowu was frequently framed, and in a fit of anger, he stabbed Zhou Du, the fifth brother of King Zhou, with a sword.
Xiao Wu was sentenced to ink punishment by King Zhou, which means that she will be a slave for life, never able to redeem herself, and completely lose her freedom.
Xiao Wu was extremely desperate, she had nothing to love in life, and she was bent on death, so she exposed the disgraceful past that the Zhou family could not show.
Zhou Jue, the king of Zhou, was furious, annoyed and angry, and directly ordered the military guards to shoot Xiao Wu to death.
Xiao Wu was beaten and lost her breath, and was dragged out of the palace to be hastily buried.
As a result, after two thunderbolts in the clear sky, a sudden rainstorm woke up Xiao Wu, who was still breathing.
felt that since God didn't want Xiao Wu to die, Zhou Jue, who had calmed down, regretted that Xiao Wu had never forgotten her talents, not to mention, she had left too many good impressions on herself.
Zhou Hao couldn't bear to kill Xiao Wu again.
According to King Zhou's instructions, Yi An secretly took the body of a small palace maid who had just died of illness that day out of the palace for burial on behalf of Xiao Wu, and sent the unconscious Xiao Wu to the special training camp.
The special training camp is a secret agency personally managed by King Zhou, and the members are the elite from all over the country, especially the elite who have been recruited from the army, there are only sixty-four team members, and all of them are valued by King Zhou.
The members of the special training team are the killer weapons of the Great Zhou Dynasty, specializing in carrying out various important matters sent by the prince of Zhou, and engaging in actions such as stealing intelligence, investigating and handling major cases, protecting and even assassinating.
In this way, Xiao Wu was stiffened by Li Dai Tao and became a living dead.
Xiao Wu became the newest member of the special training camp, she has no name, and she has no identity source, everyone calls her June Fourth.
Everyone in the palace knew that a little musician named Xue'er was beaten to death by the king, which once became a hot topic of conversation in the palace, with sadness and regret, but more scorn and schadenfreude.
The most grief-stricken is Zhou Dan.
After he woke up from a coma, he cried and shouted that he wanted to see Xiao Wu and send her home for burial.
King Zhou took advantage of the opposition of Zhou Xian and others to say that a rebellious death criminal could not die well, Zhou Dan was helpless, and said that he wanted to see where Xiao Wu was buried?
Knowing his grandfather's feelings for Xiao Wu, Junbao saw that she was buried under a desolate small dirt slope, and couldn't bear it in his heart, so he ordered someone to regain her face and build a tombstone.
Zhou Dan had to accept the result of Xiao Wu's death.
Because of Xiao Wu's death, Zhou Dan fell seriously ill and almost lost his life, and then his temperament became more taciturn.
In Zhou Dan's heart, there was a trace of luck in Brother Wang's ambiguous words of consolation, and the gossip he deduced also showed that Xiao Wu should not be a dead robber.
Three years later, Zhou Dan confirmed that his judgment was right
King Zhou led Zhou Dan to watch a fight, which was the first time Xiao Wu was trained to kill people.
Zhou Dan saw Xiao Wu again, and only then did he know that she was really not dead.
It was also that time, Xiao Wu killed for the first time, and killed four prisoners of war at once, because of sympathy, she should be entrusted by the four people, promising to send the ashes of the four back to the hometown of Dashang, of course, to bring a secret back, to the brother who entrusted the four with the future.
Therefore, Xiao Wu had a trip to the east regardless of it.
It is said that Zhen Xiaowu's grave did not completely cover Cui'er, but it completely deceived the man in black who had been to Xiao Wu's house.
These two black-clothed men were the dead soldiers sent by Chenyou, who specifically wanted to kill Lu Xiaowu.
Five years ago, Zhen Xiaowu died once due to acne.
The king of the five halls of Yama is ascending to the palace to judge the merits of the deceased, and there is a notice on the case to reward Lu Xiaowu, and he sees a girl who has just died, which is actually Lu Xiaowu who was rewarded.
The front foot had just been smashed by the Sen Luo Hall by the men of Emperor Jiuyuan, Emperor Jiuyuan, in order to remove the name of Lu Xiaowu's life and death book, and the back foot of Lu Xiaowu, who was asking for his life, came to him.
The king of the five halls was afraid of causing trouble, so he slapped the dead Xiao Wu back to the yang world.
It was also this incident that the Demon King Fu Minghuan and the eldest prince Cheng Lie knew about Zhen Xiaowu's existence, but she was already a mortal, which made them puzzled, and it was estimated that Lu Xiaowu had an accident.
Later, the news confirmed the speculation, saying that Lu Xiaowu was beaten into the six reincarnations by the Heavenly Monarch.
The black-clothed dark warrior sent by Cheng Lie found Xiao Wu's home according to the address given by the King of Hades in the Five Palaces.
Because Han Lian, who saw Zhen Xiaowu for the first time, thought about going to the sky, wanted to use Xiao Wu as a lead, went to see her home, and wanted to understand her situation, at that time, Han Lian wiped her breath away.
The two black-clothed dark men didn't find any breath of Zhen Xiaowu.
Later, this time, the other two black-clothed dead soldiers sent by Chenyou, like Cui'er, were directly led to Xiao Wu's grave by the fake smell made by the lonely crane.
Without breath, even if the gods want to be in the vast sea of people, it is extremely difficult to find someone.
With the notice in his hand, the black-clothed dark man of the Chenglie faction spent a lot of effort to find Xiao Wu in the palace, followed the vine, and finally found Zhen Xiaowu's grave.
Such a result made the two black-clothed dark men very helpless, so they had to go back to recover their lives.
Similarly, the dead soldiers sent by Chenyou also returned in vain.
