Chapter 30: Traces
Xiang Junhao cried for a long time, until he had no strength to cry, and he was holding the wolf's head and staring blankly in the direction of the valley. He flashed back to the past with the big wolf demon in his mind like a picture, from the first battle, to finally subduing it, and then fighting together to save Mu Lingyun and join forces with the wolf demon to fight against her, and then he rode the big wolf demon on the big meadow of the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts every day, and then he and the big wolf demon jointly challenged other powerful demon beasts, and finally after his death, the big wolf demon loyally guarded the cave cliff...
After a long time, Xiang Junhao suddenly seemed to remember something, he put down the wolf's head and got up and began to check the scene. He first unfastened the iron chains that were attached to the wolf's head, and pulled out the iron spearhead javelin that was inserted into the wolf's body. At the end of the chain and javelin, you can see a line of words "Beiyue Ironware - Xuancheng", which is the mark left by the well-known ironwork workshop. Xiang Junhao took off the imprinted chain and the head of the spear and kept it, and then began to search the corpses on the ground. These corpses were dressed in the costumes of common hunters in Xuancheng on the outside, but they were indeed uniform navy blue military uniforms inside, and the word "Yan" was embroidered on the inner lining. Xiang Junhao suddenly remembered that when he fought against Yan Zhihao that day, all the people who besieged him were wearing the same military uniforms. He continued to search, and finally found a name tag on the body of a corpse, with the word "Yan" printed on the front and the person's name on the back. He recalled that when the big wolf demon died, he stared at the direction of the valley without a blind eye, and thought that there must be someone alive who had escaped, so he immediately went to look for traces. Sure enough, a line of bloody trails gradually extended in the direction of the valley, and there should be two or three more people looking at the traces.
When Xiang Junhao got the big wolf demon back to the cave and exploded and sealed the entrance of the cave, it was already dark, so he slowly returned to the cave cliff where he lived with a dull gaze. As soon as he entered the cave, his expression really startled Mo Qingzhi and Helan Xuanji, why did he go out in the afternoon and become so sluggish now. Xiang Junhao didn't speak, and took out the chain and gun head with a mark from the ring, a bloody shirt with the word "Yan" printed on it, and the name plate of the Yan family. Then he said lightly to Jun Hao: The big wolf demon is dead, and he was killed by them, and there are traces and their people who escaped, and they fled with injuries.
Mo Qingzhi looked at everything and asked: Tell me what you have seen, as well as your judgment.
After listening to Xiang Junhao's description, Mo Qingzhi asked him rhetorically: What do you want to do?
Xiang Junhao looked at Mo Qingzhi, a trace of ruthless ferocity flashed in his distracted eyes, and said in a cold and resolute tone: Find someone and ask the reason, they can't come in again for no reason to kill a wolf demon, there must be other purposes.
Mo Qingzhi continued to ask: What about after finding out?
Xiang Junhao stared at the stainless steel short blade that he pulled out, and said: "Kill! But stop killing the servant!
Mo Qingzhi stood up, patted Jun Hao's shoulder, and said with a relieved tone: Uncle Shi is very pleased that you can think of so much, and you don't get dizzy on impulse. They should be coming back to target you again, and the Great Wolf Demon's guardian may be in their way, or because it is your personal demon beast that has killed and demonstrated to you. But if it's the latter, they'd be too stupid to expose themselves like that.
Helan Xuanji asked: The target is the junior brother, what does the junior brother have, is it the black knife?
Mo Qing did not answer her with a mysterious smile, but said to Xiang Junhao: According to your description, they should only leave the valley today, then they will still be in Xuancheng, since your two cultivation here is over, then leave for Xuancheng overnight.
Xiang Jun Hao looked at Mo Qingzhi, that look was exactly the same as the look in the Yunfeng Pavilion Xiantong Hall when he first saw Mo Qingzhi a year ago... It's just that Xiang Junhao has grown up this year, and his height has changed a lot, so he doesn't have to look up as hard as he did a year ago.
The next morning inside the city of Xuancheng
The three of them traveled lightly and all night, and entered the city as soon as the city gate was opened early in the morning, and then went straight to the inn. The three of them had been in the mountains for a year, and they were almost like savages, and they had to go and tidy up and put on new clothes before they could go out.
After the three of them cleaned up the ropes, Mo Qing took the senior sister and brother to a place where the manpower porter was located, found one person, gave half a penny, and then the three were taken into a deserted mansion. A porter brother came out, after Mo Qingzhi told him about the situation, I saw that the little brother was a little contemplative, Mo Qingzhi immediately took out a handful of broken silver and stuffed it into the little brother's hand, the little brother took the silver and patted his chest to ensure that the news would arrive later, and the follow-up work would be completed according to Mo Qingzhi's needs. Xuancheng's porters are an independent sect of the rivers and lakes, on the surface they are a group of people who do manual labor and sell coolies, but in fact they are a huge underground intelligence and information organization all over the north, and they are a force to be reckoned with in the entire north.
Mo Qingzhi took the senior sister and brother and left the place to answer the inn, and sure enough, the little brother did not break his promise, and three hours later, he brought a message and a map with the target place. According to the information, there are ten chains and 100 javelins, all of which were made half a month ago. The customer is indeed unknown, and the accounts of the ironsmith do not find out who the customer who made these weapons is, but the blacksmith in the shop has the impression that he has created such weapons, so this batch of weapons is indeed from the Beiyue ironsmith. After the completion of this batch of weapons, it was transported to a secret courtyard in the deserted area in the north of the city, and the owner of that courtyard was the owner of the Beiyue Iron Workshop, but this owner seemed to be just a pretense, and there were other masters above him. The courtyard seems to be a secret base, more than a month ago people wearing navy blue military uniforms began to appear here, during this period Beiyue Iron Workshop sent the finished things here many times, and then the people in navy blue military uniforms carried the goods out of the city through the south city gate. And why choose the courtyard of this uninhabited block in the north of the city, because it faces the direction of the demon invasion, it was completely killed and burned after the city was broken many years ago, and many courtyards were abandoned to form two inhabited neighborhoods, and the government has not repaired and relocated the residents to return, saying that it can be used as a battlefield to defend against the enemy in the future. Therefore, there has been a lack of management here, and no one will come here except for the people who enter and leave the north gate.
After reading the information, Mo Qingzhi pointed to the map and said: The target of this map should be the mysterious courtyard.
Xiang Junhao said: Then let's kill this courtyard directly according to the map?
Mo Qingzhi shook his head and said: Since they have left traces, then we will investigate generously. Fighting a snake requires scaring the grass and making the snake move...
Xiang Junhao seemed to have opened his mind, and interrupted and said: Then the yard is a snake, and the Beiyue Iron Workshop is the grass that is to be frightened?
Mo Qingzhi nodded, and said approvingly: The children can be taught, that's what it means, let them take us to find more information.
Then he instructed Helan Xuanji to stay in the inn first and wait for the news of the little brother who was picking, and regardless of whether she was happy or not, he took Xiang Junhao straight to the next target, the Beiyue Iron Workshop, leaving Helan Xuanji behind him to stand in the room and stomp her feet angrily.
Xuancheng west of the city
The master and nephew needed to cross the entire Xuancheng from the east of the city to the west of the city to find the ironsmith workshop, and coincidentally happened to pass by the place where Yu Mu Lingyun had a fight for the first time. Xiang Junhao had always felt that the little brother who was talking to Mo Qing and making a deal looked a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it. Now looking at the familiar street scene, Jun Hao suddenly remembered that the little brother who was the porter fell from the roof and hit himself at that time, and he was the person Mu Lingyun and they wanted to arrest! He looked at Mo Qingzhi, and saw that he was inquiring with people about the roadside and walked forward, so he didn't say anything, and followed forward.
Sometimes fate is so magical, and it happens to be on the ground in Xuancheng. The two of them happened to pass by the Xuancheng Shogunate compound in the west of the city, and they happened to meet Mu Lingyun on the street at the gate of the compound! Mo Qingzhi took Xiang Junhao to hurry away, but he didn't notice the shogunate compound, let alone Mu Lingyun and his party who were about to return to the house. However, Mu Lingyun's accompanying shogunate housekeeper Uri was not old and dizzy at all, and he saw Xiang Junhao at a glance, and then stepped forward to block the way, saluted and said: Sure enough, it is Xiang Shao Sect Master, I haven't seen him for a year, and the Young Sect Master has become a lot stronger. This is the head of the Heavenly Master's Mansion Moqing, and he is really a talent, heroic and sassy, and has been admired for a long time.
The teacher and nephew didn't expect to meet Uri, and they didn't expect to be a little surprised that they would take the initiative to come up and salute and greet them. Mo Qingzhi immediately returned the salute and said politely: Your Excellency is the head of the Shogunate, right, I heard my unsuccessful master and nephew mention it before, but I didn't expect to see it in Xuancheng today.
Uri said with a smile: Mo Dao Chang saw outside, and just saw your master and nephew passing by my shogunate, so the old man came over to say hello. The old man in the valley said that when the young sect master and the Mo Dao chief came to Xuancheng, they must come to the shogunate to talk about it, and we will apologize in person for the reckless things that day.
Mo Qingzhi thought to himself, who has known you? Apologize? If you really want to stay that day, you should have said it well. But after all, it's an old man, and he wants to go on face, so he immediately responded: Mr. Wu is polite, the fight between the two children will not be so polite, just take it home for education. Today, my master and nephew still have some things to deal with, and I will have the opportunity to disturb the house in the future.
Mo Qingzhi wanted to bow to you, but seeing that Mu Lingyun had already come to her, she was very polite to salute Mo Qingzhi first, and then said to Xiang Junhao: Hey, what about you, are you deaf? Why are you willing to come out of the mountain?
Xiang Junhao didn't speak all the way, and he didn't want to speak, he kept lowering his head and thinking about what to do when he met those people in the back. Hearing Mu Lingyun's provocative greeting, he looked up at Mu Lingyun, with a terrifying fire in his eyes. Mu Lingyun thought he was going to do something, so he jumped back and pointed at Xiang Junhao and said: What, you still want to fight?
