Chapter 33 The Man Goes Without a Trace
In a small alley next to the City Lord's Mansion, two little girls stood facing each other, blinking and looking at each other. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 With the help of the overflowing light in the corner of the wall, a little girl recognized the other party first, and said in surprise: "Hey, you are the moon of Tanah Lot Temple!
Wu Shanyue looked at the other party's pigtails, teeth that could never grow even, and also recognized that it was He Ye, the little black girl who was rushing to the sea, and asked rhetorically, "How did you get here?"
"Me?" He Ye touched his head, "yes, why am I here? ”
She turned around, looked around, and said, "This seems to be the City Lord's Mansion, you look at that wall, only the wall of the City Lord's house is so high." Hey, I must be sleepwalking again! I sleepwalk a lot, that is, when I fall asleep, I will get up and get dressed and run out, but this time I swim a little far, and I used to be in my yard...... Eh, where are you going?"
Wu Shan Yuecai didn't care why He Ye was here, whether she was sleepwalking or not, she escaped from the City Lord's Mansion with the help of the ring, and hurried around to the vicinity of the mansion gate. Lin Du is still "begging for a daughter-in-law" in the house, and since she has come out, she has to go to him to ensure that he is also safe. She ran towards the alley without waiting for He Ye to finish speaking, He Ye was stunned for a moment, followed closely behind, and whispered as she ran: "It's so late, don't run around!" My father said that the sand thieves in the desert will come to the city at night to catch children, and they will take you away and eat them!"
Running to the entrance of the alley, Wushan suddenly stopped, hid in the corner of the wall and looked out. He Ye quickly stopped when she saw it, and hid like the Poseidon girl, thinking that she really encountered a sand thief, right?

"You injured Black Bean and captured Yue'er?"
In front of the gate of the mansion, Mo Wenxin stood with Gong Ximing in his hands, Lin Du jumped out and shouted loudly, and the soldiers and guards of the City Lord's Mansion all surrounded him, each holding a sharp blade in his hand, and he wanted to do it with a fierce momentum, but many of them immediately recognized Mo Wenxin. Cuttlefish is a close confidant of the city lord, and recently he has been entrusted with important tasks, and Mo Wenxin often goes in and out of the city lord's mansion as a cuttlefish attendant, and when everyone sees that it is him, they immediately smell an unusual smell and stop the peers around him who are eager to try. Under the lights, dozens of big men looked at each other with swords and guns, and a little boy stood in their encirclement and glared at Gong Ximing with a tiger face.
No one wants to be an enemy of cuttlefish, and neither does Gong Ximing. The cuttlefish was originally just a small fish and shrimp, but the skill was a little bit, but it was not enough for him, but half a year ago, he was suddenly sent by the city lord to carry out a secret mission in the Phantom Sea Desert, and he became a character side by side with him. He is now fledgling, and he still has to use the power of the city lord, so naturally he doesn't want to be an enemy of the people that the city lord relies on, and he is also polite to Mo Wenxin, the squire of the cuttlefish. It's just that he didn't know that there were still distinguished guests from the Huaiqing Marquis Mansion living in seclusion in this small Shashui City, and when he saw a little boy who dared to come out and question himself, he had a very strange look on his face.
This boy also came for the little girl, maybe he was also from the Ye family, so he happened to arrest him first, and then he went to catch the girl who escaped. Gong Ximing thought in his heart, and glanced at Mo Wenxin again. Looking at the appearance of the city lord just now, it is obvious that he doesn't know the Ye family, Mo Wenxin stopped here, it shouldn't be the order of the city lord, it seems that this guy has some personal relationship with the Ye family. If so, where am I afraid of him?
"Yue'er, oh, it's that little girl. Yes, I caught her, and I injured the dog. What do you want, little friend?" Gong Ximing smiled, putting on a kind and kind expression, but his voice was full of provocation.
"Why are you arresting Yue'er? Quickly let Yue'er go!" Lin Dui was afraid that Yue'er would be hurt by something, like an angry little tiger, he stared at Gong Ximing with his face up. Since the scarred black bean appeared in front of him, he knew that Yue'er had an accident, first took the black bean to the Tanah Lot Temple, saw that Yue'er was not in the temple, and asked it to lead the way to here, and finally confirmed that it was the weird guy in front of him who hit the black bean and caught Yue'er, and he was furious.
"She secretly dug Cistanche and broke the law, so I naturally wanted to arrest her. As for releasing people, kids, you don't count. ”
Gong Ximing was still smiling, but his voice fell to the ground, his left hand spread out and shook up and down as if he was picking up something, and a strong flame immediately erupted from the palm of his hand, and he snorted and jumped up a few feet high, just like holding up a flame pagoda in the palm of his hand.
At the same moment, Mo Wenxin's figure flashed, and he stopped in front of Lin Du again. I didn't see any movement from him, and a white haze rose silently around him, and the haze flowed like water, and his whole body loomed in it, as if it were real.
"Mo Wenxin, this is the person who is going to be taken by the city, you don't have to be nosy!"
Gong Ximing smiled and frowned. He didn't want to do anything with Mo Wenxin, but if he had to stop it, then he could only try his skills. As soon as he raised his right hand, the gray rune on his ring finger jumped, and as soon as Mo Wen's heart moved, he wanted to use Saturn's confinement technique to trap him first, when he suddenly heard a rather majestic voice behind him say: "Who said that this is the person I want to take?"
Gong Ximing couldn't help but be stunned, and immediately realized that there must be something inside that he didn't understand, and quickly put away the flames and runes in his hand. When he turned around, he saw the soldiers and guards on both sides, and the city lord Lin Yingqi walked out of the mansion gate leisurely with a smiling face, and said lightly as he walked: "Mr. Gongxi, did you arrest this little friend's friend? ”
Lin Yingqi recognized Lin Dui at a glance. When Jin Luohua and the three of them first arrived in Shashui City, he disguised himself and visited in person, and the fifth young master of the Huaiqing Hou Mansion came to his own territory, how could he not take a few more glances and keep it firmly in mind? It's just that Jin Luohua has no intention of revealing his identity, and the letter from the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion is also vague about this, only saying that he must ensure the safety of the third lady and the fifth young master, so he has to pretend that he doesn't know him at all, but the fifth young master came angrily to ask for someone, and he had to give it.
Mo Wenxin took over the task of protecting the cuttlefish, and Lin Yingqi knew it early on. Since he learned the news of the third lady's trip to the desert from the cuttlefish, he secretly sent additional monitoring manpower, and he also received a report that the third lady often helped a homeless child in the Sea Lot Temple, although he didn't know what the specific relationship between them was, but he still didn't want to provoke people related to the Hou Mansion easily. If he knew that Gong Ximing was the homeless child who "invited" him today, he would have taken the initiative to send people back to Tanah Lot Temple a long time ago, why did the Fifth Young Master come to the door?
Seeing that the city lord had come out, Mo Wenxin knew that he was no longer needed here, so he bowed silently and flashed aside.
Su'er and Lin Du also recognized Lin Yingqi, although they had only met once, the image of this city lord as an amiable wealthy businessman was still very profound. Su'er had already hugged Lin Dui in front of her, and when she saw the city lord come out, she bowed deeply, and Lin Dui also hurriedly bowed and saluted, and shouted crisply, "Uncle City Lord". The other party is his own family, his own uncle, and the lord of the city, even if he doesn't reveal his identity publicly, basic politeness must be necessary.
Lin Yingqi narrowed his eyes, nodded to the two with a smile, turned his face and saw Gong Ximing standing aside, with an embarrassed look on his face, and asked a little unpleasantly: "Mr. Gongxi, why don't you release him soon?"
"My lord, people are not here with me, but with the eldest young master. Gong Ximing replied.
Lin Yingqi frowned, and ordered a government soldier beside him: "Go, call the eldest young master." ”
The soldier replied, and then turned and ran back to the house. At this time, Wu Shanyue and He Ye were hiding at the mouth of the alley, and they had already seen everything clearly. He Ye knew that the little girl Yue'er was caught here, and he was very curious about how she escaped, and saw that Lin Du was still facing the main people in the city, but the girl Yue'er was hiding here and refused to stand out, so he urged in a low voice: "Hey, let's go out!"
Wu Shanyue shook her head. Lin Du was not in danger, and Hei Bean was not dead, but fortunately she stood there and the wound was bandaged, and her heart was completely put down. But she wasn't going to leave it at that, she wanted to see how those guys who almost killed Black Beans would deal with Lin Dusk next. He Ye was actually very angry, very angry about the injury of the black bean, and seeing that Yue'er was not ready to go out, he also held back his temperament and secretly looked at them.
Not long after the soldiers entered, the eldest young master Lin Nanxing rushed over, because he was in a hurry to dress, and the button was tied wrong, as soon as he came out of the gate and saw the posture in front of him, his face was confused: "Dad, what did you call me so late?"
Lin Yingqi saw that he was not dressed properly, so he was angry, and he was worried about whether he had spoiled other girls, so he asked with a gloomy face: "Where is the girl that Mr. Gongxi invited today? Let her go immediately." ”
Lin Nanxing looked at his father's yin face, looked at Gong Ximing's leisurely closed eyes and didn't care about himself, and then looked at the weak lineup of a young girl, a little boy and a wounded dog opposite, he didn't know why he got such an order, but his father's words couldn't help but listen, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "Dad, the person is not here, and he was begged by the fourth sister." ”
Lin Yingqi's expression was stagnant again, he didn't expect it to be so troublesome to release someone, so he had to order a government soldier next to him: "Go and ask the fourth lady to release someone." ”
The government soldiers received the order, ran back to the mansion, and after a while, they ran back out of breath and said, "Master, the fourth lady said that the person was not there for her. ”
The fat on Lin Yingqi's face twitched unconsciously: "Where is that?"
The fourth lady refused to say, only that she was not there. The soldier replied honestly.
Lin Yingqi's face changed as soon as he brushed it. This one is not with him, the other is not with him, and the three of them each shirk it, and in the end they can't even tell where they are, isn't this just that they don't want to make friends? He thought to himself, it can't be that they have already killed the girl? If this is the case, it will be difficult to explain. Even the surrounding soldiers and guards felt that Gong Ximing and the three of them were shirking each other, and no one would have thought that the fourth lady was slapped half of her face by the little girl's escape, and she was so ashamed to say that she refused to say it.
Lin Dui's face also turned white, he was far more sensitive and intelligent than children of the same age, and he could think of what others could think of, and with a flick of his little shoulders, he broke free of Xu'er's hand, stepped forward and asked loudly: "Uncle City Lord, do you not want to hand over Yue'er, or did something happen to Yue'er?"
Wu Shanyue hid in the alley and could see clearly, knowing that Lin Du was worried about her life and death, and her heart was warm. He Ye gently poked her arm again, and said in her ear: "He's worried about you, let's go out!"
Wu Shanyue just shook her head, so angry that He Ye rolled her eyes: People are worried about this, you still have a calm breath to peep here, it's really unjust!
I only heard Lin Yingqi say again: "This little brother ...... Don't worry, what else can happen in my house? I ordered them to find out at once. You, go and call the fourth lady to me!"
Lin Yingqi pinched a handful of sweat in his heart, and was already thinking about the consequences of tearing his face with the fifth young master of the Hou Mansion. A fifth young master with zero qualifications, a young master of waste wood who is regarded as a laughing stock by the Lin family, is also a young master of the dignified Hou Mansion. With Lin Fengshan's temper, it doesn't matter if he throws this son away by himself, but others can't provoke him at all, because it can't get along with the Hou Mansion. Lin Yingqi understands this and treats the third lady, mother and son with caution. In case that little girl really has three longs and two shorts, it depends on her relationship with the fifth young master. can let this young master come in the middle of the night with a roar, I'm afraid the relationship is really unusual.
Thinking of this, Lin Yingqi couldn't help glaring at Lin Nanxing fiercely, and then saw that his people were all stunned to watch the excitement, and said angrily: "You all go back, it's none of your business." ”
When the soldiers and guards heard this, as if they had received an amnesty, they put away their weapons and withdrew to the City Lord's Mansion, leaving only Lin Yingqi and his son and Gong Ximing, who was in a closed fugue, outside the palace gate. Lin Nanxing just wanted to step forward and ask his father who the little boy opposite was, why bother for him, but saw Lin Yingqi walking up to Lin Du with a smile and asked in a low voice, "Virtuous nephew, how is Lingtang lately?"
"My mother is fine, but if something happens to Yue'er, it will be very bad, and my mother will definitely be very, very angry. Lin Dui's voice and eyes were cold. He didn't mean to intimidate, he really believed that his mother would be furious. The relationship between mother and Yue'er is inexplicably good, and if Yue'er has an accident, he will inevitably bear his mother's anger.
"Hehe, I believe uncle, Miss Yue'er will be fine. Virtuous nephew, this is not the place to talk, how about we go into the mansion and talk about it?" Lin Yingqi sneered.
"It's so late, it's inconvenient to disturb my uncle, so I'll just wait here. Lin Du shook his head, thinking to himself that I didn't go to your house, in case there was any poison trap, wouldn't I be harmed by you?
Lin Yingqi was also inconvenient to ask, and it was not good to ask directly about the relationship between Miss Yue'er and the Hou Mansion here, and when he was hesitating, he heard a noise in the front yard of the City Lord's Mansion, and the two maids supported the fourth lady Lin Yimeng in a hurry. Lin Yimeng wore a hat with a gauze cover on her head, and the gauze hung down, covering her face tightly.
Lin Yingqi was stunned when he looked back, and he didn't know how this always strong daughter could dress up so shyly. When Lin Yimeng approached, he felt that something was wrong, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he lifted the gauze cover, revealing half of Lin Yimeng's high and swollen face, with a large piece of broken skin, and a shoe print could be seen vaguely. In an instant, Lin Yingqi's expression became extremely exciting.
Lin Yimeng was very reluctant to be called out by her father, and it was easy to pull a veil to cover her shame, but she didn't want to be looked at by so many people, especially the surprised eyes of the girl and the little boy opposite, which really made her embarrassed, and she cried out when she opened her mouth.
"This, how did you get this?" Lin Yingqi asked with a gloomy face.
Lin Yimeng was embarrassed, she just cried, and she didn't want to mention that she was injured and escaped by that little girl. A maid hurriedly stepped forward and said to Lin Yingqi: "It was the girl sent by the eldest young master who injured the young lady." ”
Lin Yingqi's eyes lit up: "What about that person?"
"Man, escaped. The maid replied.
Lin Yingqi was stunned for a moment, then changed to a smiling expression, and turned to Lin Dui's master and servant.
The man fled. The high-walled courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion was heavily guarded, and he actually let a little girl escape, and injured the fourth lady like this! Lin Yingqi felt that his face was hot and his heart was feverish, and he was embarrassed and threw everyone to his grandmother's house. He never expected such a result, but fortunately, nothing happened to the little girl, but there was no need to worry about how to explain to the Hou Mansion.
Lin Du scratched his head unconsciously. He could see that this sister of the same clan was crying painfully and revealing her true feelings, not like she was pretending, and it was unlikely that a girl's family would really make her face in order to deceive people. Did Yue'er really escape? So where is she? He looked at Lin Yingqi's uncertain fat face and didn't know whether to advance or retreat, but found that the black bean was pulling at his trouser legs. He looked down at the black beans with one side of his face, and saw a corner of the red cotton skirt exposed at the entrance of an alley not far away, and the corner of the cotton skirt only flashed slightly, and then disappeared into the darkness again.
He smiled.
In the alley, the little black girl He Ye laughed breathlessly, and was pulled back to the depths of the alley by Wu Shanyue. The city lord must be annoyed, He Yeke has nothing to do with the Hou Mansion, and if she dares to laugh like this, her daughter will definitely not have good fruits to eat. However, Lin Yimeng's crying was too loud, and He Ye tried his best to control himself from making a sound, so Lin Yingqi didn't notice it. He only has Lin Yimeng's earth-shattering cry in his ears now, like a wolf howling, this midnight three watches, not to mention that the whole city can hear it, there is always half of the city, the city lord's mansion is majestic, covering his face and waving his hand to Yahuan again and again:
"Hurry up, take Miss back!Hurry!" (To be continued.) )
