Chapter 149: Attacked
Lin Chunxi and the others did not leave the inn for several days, firstly, in view of the chaotic situation in the capital, a few days ago, due to several battles, the palace was alarmed, so the capital guards were strictly ordered to impose a curfew on the capital, and Bai's investigation became more and more tense, not only was it inconvenient for them to travel, but the people who were troubled in the capital also entered a state of silence, and the security in the capital was surprisingly good, and no strange things happened. Second, Li Xiaoyao repeatedly warned them that they must not go out at will, because according to the secret sentry left near the inn, there are always some unknown people snooping near the inn in recent days, these people will not stay for a long time, but the appearance is suspicious, and it is suspected that they are hiding deep in the blade, in view of Lin Chunxi's injury, so everyone decided to follow Li Xiaoyao's opinion, and has been staying in the inn without any travel action.
The secret post guarding the periphery of the inn, and these mysterious people had several large-scale conflicts, both sides are a touch of retreat, no one does much maneuvering, one no one has a quick victory, two are afraid of alarming the power of the local government, the palace has been very dissatisfied with the security on the street in recent days, has been removed several officials, the forbidden army frequently out of the palace, participate in local security, these forbidden army is not vegetarian, in the past arrogant and domineering, well-equipped, aggressive, the people are not willing to provoke them, whether it is the eight princes' people or those mysterious people, do not take the initiative to touch these rao mildew heads, as far as possible to remain silent。
But the brief lull did not last long. As the city's inventory gradually relaxed, all the forces in the city began to move. After a short time, Li Xiaoyao sent someone to deliver the news that a large number of unknown people had entered the capital and were mixed all over the city, and he had sent people to find out, and sent people to remind them to be more cautious and remember to pay attention to safety.
Lin Chunxi attached great importance to Li Xiaoyao's prompts, and he knew that this Xiaoyao Marquis had great magical powers, and he must have his own special news channels, so everyone strengthened their vigilance. However, it has been a few days since the group entered the city, and the case of the child's loss has not been solved, although there are some eyebrows, but just a little better, it was interrupted because of a series of events, although there is still a danger outside, but the case still has to find a way to solve.
Lin Chunxi and the others used this time to re-analyze this series of cases, although the Five Elements are a little illusory, but judging from the existing evidence in front of them, someone must be using this to commit crimes, but Xue Lingheng put forward an idea, that is, even if it is the Five Elements, in the same time period, in such a large capital, there must be many children born at the same time, so why did they choose a few of them, there must be a reason for this. Everyone felt that he was very reasonable, so Lin Chunxi was ready to arrange for everyone to continue to visit the bitter masters' houses on the side, focusing on finding out what they had in common.
Lin Chunxi arranged for Chen Yiyao and Lu Ling to go all the way to explore the City God Temple again, try to find as many people as possible who have been working in the City God Temple in recent days, and learn more about the news, and the other people are all sent to the place where the blood bat once appeared, and find some clues from the place where they stayed, because if the blood bat committed the crime, then there will definitely be some traces between them, and it may be helpful to solve the case. After receiving the order, the people went to various places to find out the news.
Lin Chunxi himself was going to go to the Eighth Prince's Mansion again, and planned to ask more about the queen, because if there was a deep connection between the queen and the Demon Dao, then from some of her clues, maybe she could find out some eyebrows.
But what they didn't expect was that when they each left, they were already being targeted by unknown mysterious people.
Not long after Lin Chunxi left the inn, there was an accident on the street where he walked in the past, and the two opposite carriages couldn't dodge each other and collided together, causing the street to be blocked and impassable, and the pedestrians who came and went were urging the two carriages to make their way quickly, but the two car owners did not give in to each other, and they must be theorized on the spot, the two of them continued to curse loudly, resulting in congestion on the street, and the pedestrians who watched the bustle gathered more and more
Lin Chunxi's way was blocked, and the pedestrians who were blocked in front of him couldn't see their heads at a glance, Lin Chunxi shook his head, seeing that there was really no way, as long as he bypassed the road and walked through the alley near the school street from the alley, he had already walked many times, so he was very familiar with choosing the nearest road, but when he entered the alley, he found that the road he had walked was being repaired, and the road surface was run away from the ditch, which was full of water, Lin Chunxi had no choice but to take other roads, so he changed several routes in a row, and each time it was a variety of conditions, either to build the road or because there were goods blocking the road。 In this way, Lin Chunxi deviated from the original reserved route farther and farther, and after walking for a short time, Lin Chunxi began to be a little vigilant in his heart, he felt that it would not be so coincidental, every time he went, he had just appeared in a situation, as if he consciously drove him farther and farther, Lin Chunxi found that his position was already very secluded, there were few people walking around, and there were basically no birds flying in the nearby trees, it was as if there was an ambush in advance, and the air was filled with murderous aura, so that the birds did not dare to approach easily.
Lin Chunxi was alert, and no longer continued to move forward, but turned his back to the wall, feeling the movement around him with his heart. Suddenly, he vaguely felt that there was movement behind him, because he knew that he was facing away from the wall, if there was a noise at this time, someone must have sneaked up from behind, thinking of this, Lin Chunxi suddenly stepped forward and dodged, and then a bright spear tip pierced out of the earthen wall, if he hadn't moved in advance, I am afraid that he would have been stabbed through the heart.
Just as Lin Chunxi was stunned, a person jumped down from the big tree beside him, Lin Chunxi didn't have time to look back, he heard the sound of wind in his ears, he hurriedly dodged and lowered his head, and slashed with a single knife against the back of his head. Lin Chunxi hadn't yet stood firm, a shadow emerged from the shadows on the corner of the street, two judge's pens in his hands, straight to his abdomen and ribs, the moves were extremely fast and ruthless, leaving no room at all, and the moves came in a row, all of which were killing and winking
After Lin Chunxi dodged the opponent's three attacks, several silver needles suddenly flew from behind, and the sound of silver needles cutting through the air was extremely loud, Lin Chunxi almost didn't feel it, but with experience, he felt that something was wrong, and he fell to the ground suddenly, and a row of silver needles went straight into the big tree.
