20 Sleeping Beauty

Qin Liangyu led everyone to climb the city tower and overlook the scene outside the city. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Outside the city walls, there was already an endless fog, and as far as the eye could see, there was a tumbling mist, and even the earth had lost its shape. The mist is changing all the time, turning into various shapes, some like people, some like beasts, some like mountains and rocks, and some inexplicable.

Everyone was like being on the top of the mountain, overlooking the sea of clouds, their hearts were shocked inexplicably, and they felt trembling, as if there was something hidden in this fog, licking their teeth and grinding their claws, waiting for the prey to come to the door.

Wu Sangui asked in confusion, "This smoke is so extensive, why is there no half of it in the city?"

Indeed, the smoke is bounded by the city walls, and it is difficult to see anything outside the walls, but inside the walls everything is visible.

Everyone frowned and pondered, and no one answered Wu Sangui's question for a while. Xiao said in his heart: "If I hadn't used thunder to drive the fog, I'm afraid you would still be unable to move an inch now." But...... It is estimated that Xue Lian does not want to envelop the city with smoke anymore, otherwise she can make the smoke outside the city spread to the city. ”

Everyone thought for a long time, and couldn't find out, Qin Liangyu sighed and said: "Such a fog, it seems that it can't be dispersed today, and I will send someone to inspect the three city walls in the southwest and north to see if they are all like the east city." Everyone has nothing to do, let's go back to the house and rest. ”

Everyone had no objections, they all nodded, and just wanted to go downstairs with Qin Liangyu. Liu Ru suddenly said anxiously: "Slow down...... What about Lu Shao's family and Sister Ye?"

As her words fell, everyone looked at each other, and then they remembered that they hadn't seen each other for a long time.

Xiao Bei scratched his head and said in his heart: "Everything is complicated at this time, I actually forgot about my disciples." But don't worry, although Lu Guanzhong's martial arts are all lost, he is possessed by fire silkworms, and he is alert, so he should be fine. ”

Wu Sangui smiled and pretended to be relaxed: "If it's a girl, don't worry, the fog was so big last night, they couldn't go out, they must be hiding in which room to sleep." Maybe when we get back, they'll be waiting for us at the restaurant for dinner. ”

Liu Ru pondered for a moment, and suddenly remembered something, his body trembled, his teeth fought, and he said in a trembling voice: "They ...... Because the fog is too big...... So you can't get out?"

Wu Sangui said: "Yes, what's the problem?"

Liu Ru shook his head and said with a frightened face: "I didn't say that Lu Shao was in charge...... I mean Zhang Xianzhong. ”

"What?" Wu Sangui and Qin Liangyu were shocked when they heard this, Wu Sangui stepped forward and said sharply: "Zhang Xianzhong who was caught yesterday is an impostor, you can't understand it anymore, don't blame me for being polite!"

Liu Ru suppressed his fear and said in a deep voice: "General Wu, this matter is important, you listen to me...... It was so foggy last night, Zhang Xianzhong ...... If you really take advantage of the chaos to escape, you will definitely not be able to get out of the city. And this morning, there was a fog blockade outside the city, and they had no chance...... 'M afraid...... Zhang Xianzhong and his 5,000 men are still hiding in the city. ”

Wu Sangui and Qin Liangyu's faces changed color, and they glanced at each other, seeing that each other's eyes were full of shock. Qin Liangyu immediately frowned, silent, and after a while, he suddenly said in a loud voice: "Someone, pass on the soldiers of the White Pole Army, bring the armor and blades, quickly assemble in the East City, without delay, and prepare to search the city on a large scale." ”

Wu Sangui breathed a sigh of relief and thought: "If the girl really woke up the dreamer with a word, we were concerned about it before, and we didn't think about it." Thinking about it at this moment, Zhang Xianzhong really has no possibility of escaping, and now as long as Zhang Xianzhong is arrested and brought to justice, the previous escape by him can be written off. After thinking about it, he stepped forward and bowed his hand to Qin Liangyu and said, "General Qin, please allow Guan Ning Tieqi to participate in the search together, and it is better to end this matter earlier." ”

Who knew that Qin Liangyu refused and said: "No need, Guan Ning Tieqi is a guest from afar, please calm down and recuperate, don't meddle in things." The tone was unceremonious.

Wu Sangui rushed up angrily when he heard this, and regardless of Qin Liangyu's military position above him, he responded: "What is meddling? This felony is caught by us together, not your work alone, Qin Zongbing is not letting Guan Ning Tieqi interfere now, is it because he wants to take the credit alone?"

Qin Liangyu snorted coldly and said: "Sichuan is the land under my jurisdiction, I can only trust my own people, who knows if your subordinates secretly colluded with the traitors last night and let them go? Then he said no more, turned and walked down the city.

Wu Sangui was so angry that his chest was stuffy, and he almost wanted to turn his face with Qin Liangyu and make a move, but after thinking about it, this place was indeed not under his jurisdiction, and if he used force, he would be guilty of rebellion. Moreover, the ammunition of the Guanning Iron Cavalry had already been exhausted before, and the Guanning Iron Cavalry was not good at street fighting, so if it really fought, it was only afraid that it would not be the opponent of the White Pole Army, so it had to suppress its anger, swallow its anger, wave its anger, and go downstairs in a rage to leave.

Liu Ru saw that Qin Liangyu and Wu Sangui disagreed, and actually fell out, knowing that this matter was caused by his own words, and he felt a little sorry. But then I thought that Zhang Xianzhong would be subdued again at any time, and I felt relieved. Then she looked up and found that the Guanning Iron Cavalry and the White Pole Army on the city wall had all gone, leaving only herself and the Xiao Tibetan Mastiff, and she was overjoyed, and just wanted to open her mouth to ask Xiao Zang Mastiff to fulfill his promise, but when she saw his body shake, he fled downstairs as if flying. couldn't help but be so angry that he raised his eyebrows, held a grudge, and quickly followed.

Xiao Bei had the intention to rely on the debt, but he couldn't do it too obviously, he just wanted to hide for a while, so he slipped around a corner, visited no one on the left and right, made the yin and yang thunder, turned into a purple wind, and ran away in an instant, and when Liu Ru arrived, he found that he had escaped again, and he was suddenly depressed, and he couldn't help crying again.

Xiao Bei came to a hidden corner, across the street from Liu Ru, and thought: "I don't know what Xue Lian and Han Xin have in mind, but it seems that Xue Lian doesn't want to make too much noise, so she didn't invite monsters." I secretly protect Liu Ruis and wait to see what happens. ”

While he was making calculations, he suddenly heard a call from beside him: "Master, I have finally found you." ”

Xiao Bei followed the prestige, found that there was no one beside him, frowned, knew the reason, and said: "Guan Zhong, why are you invisible? Could it be that there is something unspeakable?"

Lu Guan Zhong said: "Master, it is inconvenient for me to show up now, please walk west along this street, find the second compound from the street entrance on the left, and wait for me in the living room." ”

After that, there was no sound in that place, and it was obvious that Lu Guanzhong took a step first.

Xiao Bei didn't know his intentions, but he thought he must have a hard time. So according to what he said, he walked west along the street, and sure enough, he saw a row of big houses on the left, all of which were built luxuriously and magnificently, and he thought that he used to live in rich households, but at this moment there was no one to live, but it seemed to be extremely empty.

Xiao Jie counted the two courtyards from the entrance of the street, stepped forward quickly, and probed into them slightly, but did not find any sound, so he flashed in. When I found the living room and found that the door had been locked, I was wondering, and Lu Guanzhong's voice came from my ears again, saying, "Here are the mechanisms I have set up, don't act recklessly." As the words fell, the latch moved from inside the door, and then the door opened to the sides, revealing a gap for only one person.

Xiao Bei cautiously entered sideways, and then the door closed automatically, a red candle lit up, and Lu Guanzhong's figure appeared in front of Xiao Bei. I saw that he described him as haggard and solemn, and said: "I have tied a fire silk rope to the door latch, if someone does not know the details and breaks through this door, then the door latch will be broken and the mechanism will be touched, and he will be strangled by fire silk." Only I can open the latch from outside the door by pulling the fiery silk cord, and there is no danger. ”

Xiao Bei frowned and said, "Guan Zhong, why are you making it so complicated? Could it be that someone wants to take your life?"

Lu Guanzhong smiled bitterly and sighed: "Even if you don't hit, it's not far away." Then he stepped forward and whispered, "I'm afraid that someone will be bad for Fuxiang." ”

Xiao Bei was taken aback and said, "Ye Nuxia, she just came here, right? Could it be that she has already made a feud with someone?"

Lu Guanzhong shook his head and said, "I don't know the specific situation, I'll take you to meet her, and then tell you my inference." ”

With that, he walked first, through a hallway, to a bedroom.

This bedroom is connected to the living room, and there is no other entrance, so it is very safe to see.

Lu Guanzhong lit another candle to illuminate the house, only to see that there was only a small bed in this bedroom, and there was no other furniture. There are two half-foot square round windows in the wall, in which a faint light shines in, but it does not allow people to enter or leave. And the cot could not be seen through the round window.

At this time, the small bed bed was hung on both sides, and there was a person lying on the bed, with a delicate face, resolute eyebrows, and closed eyes.

Xiao Bei smelled that there was a faint bloody smell on Ye Fuxiang's body, and his heart was terrified, and he asked, "Fuxiang, is she injured?"

Lu Guanzhong shook his head and said, "Fortunately, the blood on her body came from others, not herself. Otherwise, I wouldn't be so calm now?"

"Other people's blood?" Xiao Bei was puzzled, "Could it be that she has done tricks with others?"

Lu Guanzhong bit his nails and said, "As far as I can tell, it is unlikely, but there is no doubt that she has been involved in a murder case." It may be that she witnessed something at the time, and she was so stimulated that she is now unconscious. ”

Xiao Bei's heart sank, and he immediately remembered Lu Yulang who died in the morning, and said: "This matter may be very important, what happened to you last night, please tell me in detail." ”

Lu Guanzhong nodded, and now he said how he suddenly encountered the fog after being separated from Xiao Bei last night, and how he got lost with Ye Fuxiang. How to find the right direction with the help of fire silk positioning, and how to meet the giant thing in the fog, fortunately Ye Fuxiang was rescued into the grass, but found that Ye Fuxiang was covered in blood, and he fell to the ground and did not wake up.

Hearing this, Xiao Bei pondered for a long time and asked, "Why do you say that Ye Fuxiang didn't do anything with anyone?"

Lu Guan Zhong said: "The sword on her body is not unsheathed, and there is no blood on the sword, and she is not far from me, and I have not heard the sound of swords contacting." In addition, I crawled out of the haystack after the fog cleared this morning, and there was no body to be found, so I made this inference. ”
