Chitose words

Han Changsheng originally planned to fight a "protracted battle" at the foot of the mountain outside Shentai Palace with all the people in the world who came to see the grand event.

He decided to experience it personally and not miss every minute of this unprecedented battle!
But who would have thought that he had only been waiting outside the Shentai Palace for two days. In the middle of the night after leaving the Li Mansion, he saw Ling You who had a serious and anxious look on his face and hurriedly came to find him.

And the first sentence Ling He spoke was actually a shocking sentence——

"Xie Zhao is gone. He hasn't returned yet at night."

"What, what?"

Han Changsheng was dumbfounded. He first looked up at the dark night and asked in shock:

"Didn't she say yesterday that she was too tired to go out and wanted to stay in the guest room to sleep, so that I wouldn't be able to bother her with anything else?

She wasn't sleeping in the house?Have you looked for other rooms?Have you asked the servants of the Li family?Are you sure you didn't fall asleep in a beautiful garden in a corner of the Li Mansion? "

Han Changsheng asked countless questions in one breath.

Ling You frowned and shook his head.

"The whole day yesterday, Xie Zhao rested in his room in the guest courtyard and never went out.

But this morning, she said she was bored and wanted to go shopping in the city to see the excitement, and then she disappeared - I followed her, but I didn't follow her. "

Han Changsheng hissed as if he had a toothache, and said in shock:
"You followed, but didn't follow? Didn't even follow you? No way?"

His voice rose so high that he even startled himself.

Then, he came back to his senses and looked around quickly. Seeing that there was no one around him, he felt relieved, lowered his voice and continued to ask in a low voice:

"What state are you in, and what state is she in? You followed her and you couldn't catch her easily? How could you lose someone with her?"

Ling You shook his head slowly and admitted frankly that his Qinggong was indeed insufficient.

"Xie Zhao's maternal body skills are rare in my life, and in terms of footwork in Qinggong, I am not as good as her.

Although her martial arts level is low and her internal strength is low, her light skills are definitely top-notch. "

Even if it’s high-class, how about being high-class?

Is it so exaggerated?

Han Changsheng touched his nose, as if he didn't believe it.

But now he couldn't tolerate his disbelief, because the person was really lost!

With Ling He's calm, rigorous, young and mature character, he would never joke with him about this kind of thing. He is not the heartless little Xie Zhao who talks nonsense.

Therefore, Han Changsheng didn't even want to watch the excitement!
The two of them hurried into the city at night, avoiding the guards who patrolled the streets in the city along the way. They separated and checked almost all the fireworks and willow alleys, taverns and casinos that were still inhabited at night in Zhaoge City one by one.

But when the two met again, they found that the other party had gained nothing.

It wasn't until the morning of the next day that the two of them had searched for Xie Zhao all night, and finally confirmed that the little bastard Xie Zhao was really missing.

"But...where can she go?"

Han Changsheng was puzzled. He was as tired as a dog that night, and he was almost dragged in as a patron who went to visit the brothel. His innocence was not guaranteed. He had sacrificed a lot.

When they find this heartless little Xie Zhao, he must extort a few more taels of silver from her to comfort her and make amends!
I thought she had changed her ways after arriving in Zhaoge, but she didn't expect that she actually played a very new thing. She played more wildly and dared to stay up all night.

Han Changsheng scratched his head.

"But I remember that when we were in Ruyang earlier, she seemed to have said that she used to live in Zhaoge City, but now she has no family, so it doesn't matter where the family goes.

Although she no longer has any relatives in Zhaoge, she should still have old friends, right?Could it be that he was looking for friends to reminisce about old times? "

Ling Or immediately shook his head. "No, even if Xie Zhao goes to the city to meet friends, if he stays out all night, he will still find someone to send us a message.

Although she loves to be lively and playful, she always does things in a systematic way and will not make people worry for nothing. "

Han Changsheng frowned and thought carefully, trying to reconstruct possible scenarios that could still happen.

"What if A-Zhao drinks too much? She has never been a good drinker and is always greedy for drinks.

Maybe we meet an old friend and have a great drink, and end up drunk at someone else's house. Of course, we won't be able to send us a message. "

Han Changsheng himself found this very strange.

Xie Zhao, this guy, feels uncomfortable after drinking too much wine, and it must be said that his heart hurts.

But if you don’t drink it, you will feel uncomfortable, and if you are afraid of the cold, you need to drink a few cups of sake to warm yourself up.

If you ask him to say that this is inappropriate, does it mean that "people are still addicted to food"?I am both greedy for wine and unable to drink enough.

Han Changsheng didn't know that the world-famous sword "Golden Platform" he was eager to see through was actually the "dog beating stick" in Xie Zhao's hand that was wrapped with hemp rope and covered with mud. No matter how long the owner had, he might not be able to recognize its true form. .

All this time, he had only regarded Xie Zhao as a "rookie" in the ordinary Jin Yao realm.

However, Ling He determined in his heart that even though Xie Zhao was rambling and unwilling to tell the truth, her origin was definitely not just a slave of the Xie family who might have something to do with Lu Shangque.

There are actually many contradictions in Xie Zhao. She is obviously just an unknown person of low status, but she knows very well about the anecdotes of the world and the secrets of Zhao Ge.

But since she didn't want to tell them yet, she had her own reasons.

Ling You is not a person who likes to force others to make things difficult, let alone his friends who force themselves.

This is also the biggest difference between him and Han Changsheng. Han Changsheng is curious about many things and will innocently inquire into the details.

But in fact, everyone in this world has things that they don’t want to tell others. Even between friends, there is no need to make everything clear.

But there is one thing, Ling You is vaguely worried
That is, since Xie Zhao can know Lu Shangque, there is no guarantee that there will be other acquaintances in Zhaoge City.

It would be fine if all we met were acquaintances and old friends, but I'm afraid there might be some old enemies.

If so, with Xie Zhao's level of cultivation as a three-legged cat, I'm afraid he would suffer a big loss if he encountered him.

But Ling He couldn't tell Han Changsheng the secret worries in his heart.

Because Xie Zhao stole Lu Shangque's natal sword "Golden Platform", the fewer people knew about it, the safer Xie Zhao would be.

It wasn't that he couldn't trust Han Changsheng. On the contrary, both he and Xie Zhao trusted Han Changsheng.

However, Han Changsheng was too simple and would never lie or cover up.His tongue has always been faster than his brain, so if he is tricked by someone with serious intentions, he will accidentally reveal something. For such a serious matter that can kill someone, naturally it is better to do less than to do more.

Ling You frowned slightly, looked at the rising sun, and said softly: "I hope so."

Han Changsheng also looked up at the sunrise and yawned.

"It's almost daybreak."

Then, he raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, trying to dispel the fatigue from a busy night, and then said energetically:

“Last night we could only go to those few fixed places to find people, but it was different during the day.

The East and West markets are open, and there are many people there and information is flowing smoothly. I will go to the market to continue looking for people to inquire. "

Ling or nod.

"Okay, let's go separate ways, you go to Fangshi, I'll go to the suburbs."
