Chapter 193: Missing
As the southernmost city in Quzhou of the Divine Dynasty, and also the first city connecting the southern countries of the Divine Dynasty, Nanwangcheng has a significant difference in customs and customs from the general form of the Divine Dynasty.
Although it can be discerned that this is indeed the jurisdiction of the Divine Dynasty, there is a strong exotic atmosphere that is well integrated in every corner of this place.
Colorful costumes.
Stone walls with peacocks and elephants as reliefs.
Hemispherical roof.
There are also people from the southern countries such as Nanyue, Nanmarsh, and Huling, which can be seen everywhere.
In times of war, it was used as a military fortress, but in times of peace, it is more of a circle of different cultures colliding and blending.
One of the most important points is that there is no so-called Daomen jurisdiction here, so a considerable number of people from the southern kingdoms settled in Nanwangcheng at a very early age.
With the documents issued by the imperial court, Ning Shu was smoothly settled in the inn in Nanwang City.
At nightfall.
The entire city of Nanwang fell into a deep sleep.
The moon is full in the middle of the sky.
Ning Shu sat on a bench in the courtyard of the inn and closed his eyes in contemplation.
Suddenly, a black shadow flashed from the side of the wall, like a nimble black cat, from appearing to crossing the wall and then to the ground, but it took two breaths, and it didn't make a single superfluous sound, and even the click of the landing was like a leaf falling to the ground, which couldn't attract the attention of ordinary people at all.
I can see that this is a powerful guy with a self-cultivation method.
When he flashed out of the shadows to the moonlight, he could be seen wearing the civilian clothes of a garrison officer.
This is a member of the Southern Army of Quzhou Hou.
The officer's boots stepped on the green bricks in the courtyard, and there was no sound, and the bright moon in the sky was covered by the fluttering clouds and mist, and even the ghostly figure of the officer also loomed.
Ning Shu was still sitting, not opening his eyes, but sighed in his heart: It is worthy of being trained in the army of the Divine Dynasty, and this calmness and forbearance are by no means something that ordinary monks can do.
Seeing that the young man with his back to him did not react, the officer smiled at the corner of his mouth, and then stepped forward step by step......
The moon is dark and the wind is high......
"Potato potato, I'm sweet potato. ”
When the officer approached within three feet of him, Ning Shu took out a token and put it on the table with an expressionless face, and then said a strange word.
The officer stopped and replied coldly: "Stinky fish, stinky fish, I'm rotten shrimp." ”
"Sit down. ”
"Okay!" the officer praised happily when he heard this: "It is worthy of Lord Ning, his spiritual sense is so keen!"
"Just call me Ning Shu......"
"Okay, Lord Ning. ”
Ning Shu smiled helplessly, looked at the young officer with a smile on his face and asked, "I don't know this rotten shrimp...... What do you call a gentleman?"
"I am the captain of the city guard in charge of the East City Gate in Nanwang City, I have been serving in the Southern Army for six years, and I used to be a member of the Daoist Department, I like to eat ......"
Listening to the officer's self-introduction as if he were not answering the question, Ning Shu raised his head again to meet his fiery gaze, and said seriously: "Do I have flowers on my face?"
"No, I don't. The officer was stunned.
"You seem to be happy to see me?" Ning Shu asked suspiciously.
"The subordinates are naturally happy!" The officer scratched his head embarrassedly and said: "I have never returned to Los Angeles in the Southern Army all these years, but I have always heard of some deeds of the adults, and you noticed me in front of the city gate before, and my subordinates are really flattered." ”
Ning Shu thought to himself that you were squeezing your eyebrows at me at the city gate at the time, and it was really difficult not to notice you.
Then he thought for a moment and asked a very important question.
"Who came up with this idiot's code......"
Hearing this, the officer nodded in agreement, and said in a low voice: "It is said that it was set by Lord Xie and Lord Yue, and the subordinates also feel that it is really too down-to-earth, but it is not easy to change." ”
You still have the idea of changing it, Ning Shu became interested when he heard this, and asked, "What do you want to change?"
"The town of Nangang is a beautiful mountain through the ages, and the door faces the sea, and the three rivers flow together for thousands of years. The officer shook his head and chanted, "What do you think, my lord?"
"I think...... Not bad. Ning Shu thought to himself, it turned out that he was still a cultural person with poetry and books.
"Okay, let's get down to business. ”
Ning Shu poured tea into the cup in front of him, and then sent it to the officer, raised his glass and took a sip lightly, and said in a deep voice: "I probably took a look at the process of that incident, and there is one thing I don't understand, why did the Creation Hall cooperate with the City God after discovering the Wheel King City, and then why did it inform the Immortal Palace of the news to even Wuliang, and finally caused such a big sensation, isn't it good to dig this kind of treasure in private?"
The officer also restrained his smile, sat upright and said: "According to the news sent back by his subordinates and colleagues in the southern countries, it can be learned that so far, whether it is the Creation Hall or the City God Mountain God, although they have found the Wheel King City, they still have not set foot in it, and the sacrifice of human souls proposed by the City God has not followed, probably because of this, so they have to notify the Immortal Palace." ”
"As for why he cooperated with the City God, it was probably because the gods of the City God lineage were under the jurisdiction of the Difu line before the Heavenly Court disappeared, so he had his own unique method for exploring the Difu King City. ”
That makes sense. Ning Shu frowned, and then said: "They could have acted in a low-key manner, why should they make such a statement to the world, aren't they afraid that the inheritance will end up in the hands of others?"
"Actually, I thought so at the beginning, but after all, the Wheel King City does exist, so no matter whether there is anything greasy in it, it is a must for those proud bull noses, after all, they have been suppressed by us for too long, and they will definitely not let go of this opportunity. ”
"I notified the Demon Palace, and I notified us, I may not have the idea of fishing in troubled waters, so the top didn't just send you alone, but also had a wait-and-see attitude inside. ”
Ning Shu nodded, although he had doubts in his heart, he couldn't express them accurately, so he could only wait for a later investigation slowly.
"The Snow Country has long been blocked, how can I get in, you should know, I only have the cultivation of the Hope Realm, and I can't make a breakthrough in a short period of time. ”
The officer's face was a little strange when he heard this, and his mood at the moment was all collapsed except for admiration.
For the fifteen-year-old Wangsheng Realm boy in front of him, and the third disciple of the dignified sacrificial wine, although he didn't know why the imperial court would release such a genius who was supposed to meditate in the mountains, but in the face of this genius, he seriously lamented that his cultivation was not enough.
At the age of thirty, he was only in the state of God's thoughts, and he wanted to cry without tears.
However, he is still full of confidence in Ning Shu, although Ning Shu only hopes for the realm, but he is a disciple of sacrificial wine, and there are only a few people in this world with such a noble identity, not to mention that he still has those fierce achievements.
No problem!
Isn't it just those small southern countries, no one dares to touch you?
"After the Snow Country was blocked, according to our investigation, the Nine Emperor Princes of the Snow Country escaped, and if they find him, they should be able to enter the territory of the Snow Country, but the blockade order of the Dao Gate has spread to every sect, and the blockade circle is too big, and it is difficult to find the exact location of this Nine Emperor Prince. ”
"Looking for a needle in a haystack?" Ning Shu rubbed his eyebrows and said with a sigh.
"No, there is a door, it can be said that it is a needle in the sea of fire. ”
After some discussion, the officer asked, "I wonder how long you are going to stay in Nanwang City, when will you leave for the south, and I will make the next arrangements." ”
Ning Shu took a sip of tea in silence, looked up at the darkening night, and asked, "Is Master Qu in this Nanwang City?"
Since the officer was a person from the Daoist Department in the Southern Army, he naturally heard the meaning of Ning Shu's words, thought for a while and said, "If Lord Ning wants to see Master Qu, his subordinates can try to arrange it." ”
"Then there's work. ”
......
......
Since it is a person sent by the imperial court and the Taoist department, it is equivalent to an inspection envoy, so the local officials naturally want to come to greet and visit, although the Marquis of Quzhou is noble and powerful, but this does not prevent Ning Shu from taking the initiative to visit.
It's just that what Ning Shu didn't expect was that they had already come to this Nanwang City, and they still hadn't seen this Hou Ye, who was known for his toughness.
Hou Fuzhong.
Everything is greeted with high standards, but no matter how high the specifications are, without the most important person, it will become a vain bubble.
"Hou Ye has been feeling cold in recent days, and he really can't come out to see Mr. Ning, and I hope that Mr. Ning will not be blamed, Hou Ye said, on the day you return from the south, you will definitely set up a banquet in this Nanwang City to make amends. ”
Opposite Ning Shu, Cheng Meng said in a very polite tone.
Ning Shu was silent, how could he not know that this was just an excuse, Quzhou Hou, who was comparable to the great supernatural powers of the Returning Realm, would occasionally feel cold and sick in bed, and he was afraid that no one would dare to believe it.
But it's just such a reason that it can't be faked anymore, but it can't be refuted.
It stands to reason that he has never met this Marquis Qu and has no intersection with each other, so why would he avoid himself and even use such an excuse.
Ning Shu already had a premonition in his heart, who else could make such a big move in the territory of the Divine Dynasty without leaving any rumor?
Is there no three hundred taels of silver here?
Or did he not intend to hide it from himself at all?
Because he has no evidence, he can't help it.
Then all this is very clear, Ning Shu as the survivor of the day, and Quzhou Hou as the owner of the black carriage, at least at this moment, Ning Shu has put ninety percent of the truth on this Hou Ye who has disappeared due to illness.
In fact, it can be determined from the beginning, even if it is not him, it is inseparable from him.
It's just that this fact is a bit cruel to the truth.
One is a little monk who has been practicing for less than a year.
And the other is a strong man at the peak of extreme martial intent, the Marquis of Quzhou, one of the four princes of the Divine Dynasty.
