Chapter 64: Baby Theft

In order to send away Zhao Ziming, the plague god, a jack of all trades can be said to do everything. At the moment, his face was full of flattery, and he praised Zhao Ziming with spittle, saying that the talent of the son is unparalleled in the world, and it will not take long to break through to the Yuan Realm.

In short, it just means the same thing: "Hurry up and go to retreat and cultivate, and don't come to me again to buy that terrible information." ”

He had already made up his mind that once he got out this time, he would immediately change his hiding place, and he would never see guests in person for a year, and at the same time break up the branches at all levels of Yulin Mansion to prevent people from being touched by people and serve them in one pot.

Zhao Ziming waited quietly for him to finish, and said with a smile: "Who told you that I just opened the entrance?"

As he spoke, a colossal momentum rolled out of him and enveloped the entire room. He stretched out his right hand, and a layer of flame-like red light filled the palm, and then the palm of his hand fell, and gently covered the table.

The desktop made of golden silk nan wood quietly emitted wisps of green smoke, and in a moment, it was burned by Zhao Ziming with the scorching Yuan force!

Walking out of the gate of the manor, Zhao Ziming put a piece of calender paper full of fly's heads in his hand into his arms, rode a black horse, and walked away.

Standing at the door, the know-it-all looked up at the sky in the distance, where the lead clouds hung low, and there were silver snakes shuttling in the clouds, and the cool autumn breeze sent the rumbling sound of thunder, and the rainstorm was coming!

And his face hidden behind the mask, but he didn't see the slightest worry, but had some rare anticipation and excitement, "Yuan Realm, hehe, with the help of Gongzi, why can't our three brothers achieve something great?"

Zhongdu Mansion, a suburb of the imperial city, is a vast fertile plain, stretching for thousands of miles. The grain produced on this land can meet the needs of the entire prefecture, and the importance of this place is self-evident after the loss of the land of the three prefectures in the Great Departure Country.

Recently, there have been several cases of baby theft in several counties here, and the baby thieves are strong in martial arts, elusive, and have committed many crimes, but no one has seen their true faces.

The local yamen sent a large number of arresters, squatting everywhere to search, trying to catch the bandits, but to no avail. Even if a trap is set up in a family with a baby, the baby thief can always steal the baby quietly, which is incomprehensible and helpless.

In one family, the head of the family is a well-known first-class master, and his grandson has just reached the age of moon, so in order to prevent him from being poisoned by the baby thief, the head of the family takes care of the grandson himself, day and night.

However, one morning, the head of the family was found dead in the room, only a palm print on the heart, and there were no other signs of a fight at the scene, apparently he was fatally killed by a blow, and his grandson was missing.

Since then, baby thieves have become famous. At the feet of the Son of Heaven, such a thing happened, shocking the government and the opposition, the emperor issued a royal summons, ordered the criminal department to make every effort to arrest the murderer, and also sent five divine guards to assist, which can not be said to be unimportant.

However, the ability of the baby thief has become more and more terrifying, and he seems to be very familiar with the style of the court arresters, and he can always avoid the siege in advance and start to commit crimes.

The five guards, all first-class and wise, broke away from the officers and soldiers of the Criminal Division, acted alone, and finally managed to surround the baby thief in a private house.

The result was still disappointing, the baby thief actually carried a large number of fire and thunder, the two divine guards were caught off guard, and were seriously injured on the spot, the baby thief performed a superior light skill, and left safely from this gap.

The only gain of the five divine guards from this operation was to know the general appearance of the baby thief, who was unusually tall and wore a cyan mask on his face, which was easy to identify.

When the emperor heard the news, he was furious, and while raising the level of the wanted warrant for the baby thief to the highest level, he secretly sent an elder surnamed Li who was enshrined by the royal family to open the entrance to be responsible for arresting the thief.

The baby thief has not yet been brought to justice, and in more than ten counties near the imperial city, those families with babies are all panicked. And within a few months, the Great Departure from the country has lost the land of the Three Prefectures in a row, and it is inevitable that someone will connect everything in series, and a kind of saying that the Great Departure is about to run out has quietly spread in the capital.

Huangyang County, many large landowners in the county, with Huang and Yang families as respect, all of them have thousands of family assets and wealth, so it is a small county town, because of the existence of these families, the scale is extremely large, not inferior to some medium-sized cities.

Many of the landlords in Huangyang County have newborn babies in their families, and the more rampant the baby thieves, the more afraid they become.

A case of baby theft that occurred two days ago was only 10 miles away from Huangyang County, indicating that the baby thieves had set foot in this area. The landlords could no longer sit still, and more than two dozen family members got together and planned for a long time to discuss how to protect their children.

In the end, the head of the Huang family proposed to transfer the child and the mother to the manor in the mountains south of the mansion to take refuge, and then take them back when the limelight of stealing babies has passed.

This proposal was supported by everyone, and those who did not have a manor property in the south immediately sent someone south to buy it first.

Later, in order to ensure the safety of the road, they spent a lot of money to hire the largest dart bureau in the capital, the Wuwei Dart Bureau, to escort them.

Early in the morning, outside the county seat, the convoy escorting the mother and baby set off.

The team is huge, there are 30 four-horse carts, and the entourage, in addition to dozens of dart masters of the dart bureau, there are more than 30 families from various families, all of whom are good players with more than six layers of internal force.

The dart bureau announced to the outside world that it was a grain dart, as soon as it left the county, Wu Tiancheng, the owner of the dart shop and the head of the dart, ordered to go fast, there were few stops and rests on the way, and at dusk, the convoy went forward for more than 130 miles.

Because I was in a hurry and missed the inn, I could only sleep in the wilderness, but fortunately, this was originally planned, and the families also made preparations in advance, so they camped in the village, lit a fire and cooked, and everything was in order.

The young mothers, who had been jolting in the carriage for a day, came down with their children in their arms to breathe, and talked to each other for a while. For a while, in the circular open space surrounded by the carriage, there was continuous laughter and laughter, which dispelled a lot of the tiredness of everyone's hurry.

After eating, the last rays of light on the horizon just disappeared, and the young mothers entered their carriage to rest under Wu Tiancheng's reminder.

The dart master and those family members patrolled the patrol, and those who were not arranged, they either lay down or sit, and slept with the help of a carriage loaded with luggage and miscellaneous items, ready to take over the work of others in the middle of the night.

As the night deepens, a hooked moon in the sky sprinkles a dim jade flower, a few sparse stars appear and disappear behind the clouds, insects chirp in the wilderness, and occasionally a cool breeze blows through the tall grass, making a rustling sound.

Wu Tiancheng walked around the convoy, and saw that the dart masters under his hands were performing their duties, and no one was lazy and slack, so he nodded with satisfaction, and his hanging heart was slightly relaxed.

This dart is related to the survival of the Wuwei Dart Bureau, which he founded after half a lifetime.

Succeeded, the money earned was worth several years of hard work, enough for him to expand the scale of the game a lot. Failure, these mothers and babies who cannot be compensated at all, together with the anger of the big landlords behind them, will completely wipe the dart game from the world.

"Dad, it's cold night, I'm watching here, you go and rest for a while. A young man over thirty years old came over and put a shoulder on Wu Tiancheng.

This young man is Wu Tiancheng's only son, his name is Wu Feng, his martial arts are not weak, he has eight layers of internal strength, and now he is a dart head in the dart game.

Wu Tiancheng patted his son on the shoulder and said, "Feng'er, this mission is different from the past, we are only allowed to succeed, not to fail, work hard for our father, and feel at ease." ”

While the two were talking, the big shopkeeper of the dart shop also came over with a smile and said, "Big brother, don't worry too much, so far, everything is going according to our plan, if it goes on like this, in another three days, this business will be done." ”

Eight years ago, Wu Tiancheng rescued the seriously injured and dying shopkeeper on a dart trip, and after he recovered, he stayed in the dart game, recognized Wu Tiancheng as the eldest brother, and helped take care of the affairs of the dart board.

The shopkeeper was dressed in an ordinary gray cloth robe, and there was always a smile on the corner of his mouth. Don't look at his elegant temperament, friendly conversation, but he is a genuine first-class master, and thoughtful, cautious, Wuwei Dart Bureau can have today's prosperity, but most of the credit is on him.

Wu Feng bowed and saluted and called "Second Uncle", and it could be seen that he respected the big shopkeeper from the bottom of his heart.

Wu Tiancheng smiled, his face was a little more relaxed, "Second brother, thanks to you, otherwise, I wouldn't dare to go down this dart no matter what, that baby thief is really a little scary." ”

Speaking of the baby thief, the big shopkeeper's eyes froze, and he asked, "Big brother, the ninth-layer master who was killed in Qu County, you have personally explored his body, is it really ...... Is it a one-hit kill?"

Wu Tiancheng said solemnly: "That's true, the **** happened to see an old friend in Qu County, and I heard that a master of the same level was killed, so I went to take a look, the body of that person was sitting on a chair, with a look of surprise on his face, and there were no traces of a fight in the house, so it should have been suddenly attacked, so it was vulnerable." ”

The big shopkeeper pondered for a moment, and said meaningfully: "Even if it is a sneak attack, it can be killed with one move, and the internal strength of the baby thief is not simple." ”

Wu Tiancheng raised his eyebrows, "What does the second brother mean?"

The big shopkeeper said with a solemn expression: "Big brother, have you ever heard of the method of returning to the origin of the blood sacrifice?"

Wu Tiancheng was shocked and said: "Blood Sacrifice Returns to the Yuan, do you mean that the baby thief is an old monster who has opened the entrance and wants to use the blood sacrifice method to break through to the innate level?"

The big shopkeeper said: "Before the big left the country, there were indeed people in the Zhongdu region who killed hundreds of babies and gathered some innate qi in their blood to break through. ”

Wu Tiancheng wanted to say something, but Wu Feng on the side suddenly reminded him with some vigilance: "Dad, second uncle, look, there are people in front!"

The eyes of the two swept forward, and sure enough, they saw a faint figure walking towards this side twenty or thirty feet away, and the pace was amazingly fast.

Wu Tiancheng took a step forward, clenched his fists, and was about to ask out loud who was coming, when he suddenly felt his heart tighten, but he was shrouded in a strong murderous aura.

"All on alert!"
