The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 70
Outside Yumen Pass, in the ruins of an ancient city in the desert.

A team of more than ten people settled here, and carefully explored the vicinity, trying not to let go of every detail.

They wore uniform white uniforms and turbans that covered their heads. They looked well-trained and extremely formal.

After a long while, the team members gathered the information one by one, and the adjutant reported it to the leader, a tall man.

This man did not hide his face. After all, he was more than two meters tall, and his hair showed a strange purple color. This feature was too distinct, and there was no need to hide it.

"Captain, Chai Kun's cavalry team disappeared here..."

"All kinds of traces have been cleaned up without leaving any clues.

"Old Cha's spiritism has not been rewarded... The other party is very cautious, he should be a veteran, unlike a 14-year-old girl who can do it.

"In addition, I also arranged rituals and used spells to communicate with plants, but they also seemed to be affected, and they refused to say anything.

"In the end, the enemy is very cunning. There are footprints of the Chai Kun horse team's horses in all directions. We can't tell where they went."

The deputy who reported was a well-proportioned woman with a strong aura. Although she couldn't see her face clearly because she was wearing a headscarf, her pair of bewitching pupils exposed had a special charm, which made people fall in love at first sight. Can't help but fall into it.

"It seems that someone here took care of that girl surnamed Qi... plus she is an ordinary maid of a criminal official's family, and she has cultivated a high-level true energy...

"Apparently she has gone astray and joined some evil organization!"

The tall man with purple hair spoke indifferently, and directly convicted Qi Feimeng of "crime".

The female deputy nodded and said, "After you get back, report to the sheriff and issue a warrant."

The purple-haired man looked at the sky that had completely dimmed, and ordered again: "Well, since we haven't found anything, let the brothers hurry up and set up camp. After we repair the ruins for one night, we will go to Dunhuang tomorrow to investigate. Take a look at who that girl has been in contact with before...

"If you can really dig out the clues of the secret organization, it will be considered a great achievement."

"Yes!" After a salute, the deputy said after hesitating for a while, "Captain, do you want to send a telegram to Dunhuang, asking them to control that little girl's family first?

"It's good to force that girl out..."

Before she finished speaking, she felt the captain's cold gaze on her, and she quickly stopped talking.

The purple-haired man stared at her face for a long time, until she got hairy, and then said meaningfully: "Hua'er, you have to remember that our 'Yi Ren Battalion' belongs to the frontier garrison, although we usually get firewood The family's money, to help them do some things, but it's not his Chai family's dog!
"This time, it's because there may be something wrong with that girl Qi, so I will take over the task of investigation.

"The issuance of the arrest warrant for that girl is enough to explain to the Chai family!

"What's more, you should have heard the news that Chai Yu Palace was seriously injured by a supernatural monk... At this time, you should not do unnecessary things."

……

In Yumen County City, the new Golden Dart Martial Arts Hall in Shenshui Lane in the west of the city.

Relying on the cover of "Toad Light", Zhao Chen successfully climbed in from the backyard wall and returned to his room.

He checked the hidden mark deliberately left before he left, and was relieved to find that it hadn't been touched.

After hiding "Zhanfeng" and the newly obtained "Sunset Sword", Zhao Chen went to the bed and looked at Yan Hongxia who was lying there quietly like a sleeping beauty, as if thinking about where to "start". Take what is more appropriate.

He hesitated for a moment, then sat on the side of the bed, took Yan Hongxia's arm, and finally planned to bleed her, as a "medium" for borrowing her strength.

After all, the blood of a practitioner already contains his own energy and spirit, and the blood essence can even double the power of some spells, which is the best "medium".

As for the "preservation" is not a problem, Zhao Chen plans to take out the blood and sell it directly to "Xingcha", and buy it back when needed... Although there will be a difference in price every time you enter and exit, but considering the "freshness" It requires cost, but it is not a loss.

Moreover, the blood of mana monks is not expensive, and the price difference is only about 1 star coin, Zhao Chen feels that he can afford it.

Although Qi Feimeng warned him not to borrow other people's strength easily, lest he be assimilated or even swallowed by the other party... But Yan Hongxia's situation is different, she now owns the whole "ownership" of herself, Zhao Chen would not worry Swallowed by her?
As for the "assimilation" issue, it's a bit troublesome. Fortunately, although Yan Hongxia's strength is higher than Zhao Chen's, her spirit, or soul, has not changed substantially. It is actually very difficult to pollute his soul.

"It's just that you may pick up some of sister Hongxia's habits...but that is also the result of frequent borrowing of power." Zhao Chen, who had borrowed Yan Hongxia's power once, naturally had his own calculations in his heart, but Qi Feimeng's kindness made him Still heartfelt.

Thinking of Miss Qi, while bleeding sister Hongxia, Zhao Chen recalled the conversation with her just now in the secret room under the ruins of the Guangming Temple, and the corners of his lips curled up unconsciously.

Because when I agreed to the other party's request for cooperation and asked her about her specific plan, the reply I got was "I don't know".

Qi Feimeng said even more confidently: "It's only been three days since I was missed by the Chai family, how can I have time to make any plans?
"Besides, 'know yourself and know your enemy and you can fight a hundred battles', the first task now is to detect the enemy's situation.

"I remember you said that the Chai family planned to kidnap a pair of siblings at the pier? Maybe you can contact them and see if they have any valuable information."

At the end of the memory, he helped sister Hongxia stop the bleeding, and sold the blood to Xingcha, Zhao Chen seriously reflected on what happened that day:

Am I a little too concerned about Qi Feimeng?Although we are friends, I also like her straightforward temperament, and we still have some secrets about each other... But in front of her, I always want to take responsibility unconsciously... It's as if I owe her something .

You know, I'm not that concerned about avenging the original owner...

Is this what is called compatibility?Or am I tempted by her?
It's not right, I feel more impulsive towards Sister Hongxia than when facing her...

Could it be her infuriating miraculousness?Is the function of "Great Mercy and Great Compassion to Purify True Qi" too much?
Fortunately, after carefully examining the decisions I made in my relationship with her, most of them came from my heart, and she really has a temper with me...

In short, when you are with Feimeng in the future, you must always examine your heart and avoid emotional influence.

Just as he was thinking, there was a knock on the door outside. Zhao Chen opened the door after tidying up a bit, and found his master Huang Xianjun standing there with a smile on his face.

After welcoming the master in, Zhao Chen was about to make him a cup of tea, but Master Huang sniffed, frowned and said, "It smells like blood..."

Although his magic power has been abolished, his refined nose still maintains a certain miraculous power.

After finishing speaking, he suddenly looked at the position of the bed in the inner room, and his expression suddenly became strange.
