After the Fairy Disappeared

   After two beeps, there was a pause, and then two more beeps.

   Of course there was no reply from the inn.

  So there was no movement outside.

  Are these guys quite cautious? He Lingchuan let out a light breath, knowing that the other party was about to shrink back. The crow didn't fly out, which meant that there were variables in the inn, so the other party might not make a move.

   Count them as smart, otherwise they will be served by floating knives when they come.

  He Lingchuan didn't chase him out, because the Baoshu King's birthday ceremony was about to come, and Fufeng City temporarily imposed a curfew for the past two days.

   If you get into trouble at this time, it is not worthwhile.

   Sure enough, about ten breaths later, there was an urgent whistle on the street, probably the guards were shouting: "Who is it? Stop!"

   At the same time, it was accompanied by the roar of wild beasts.

   It seems that the guards are more than human beings, enough for those guys to drink a pot.

  These movements are getting smaller and smaller, and it is clear that both the chasing and fleeing parties have gone away.

  The street has returned to tranquility.

  After dawn, there is another inn two hundred feet away.

   Someone sneaked into a guest room, where the lights were still on, and Fushan was sitting in front of the window.

  「Any news?」

   "Yes. The target has already moved into Liushe, which is the official residence specially arranged by Fufeng City for envoys from various countries."

  The subordinates said: "Others have made arrangements."

   "Call everyone back. Fufeng City is too heavily guarded, we won't do anything here." Fushan changed the plan, "However, we still need to confirm the whereabouts of things first."

  ￥￥￥￥￥￥

  In just a few days, all kinds of chaos in Fufeng City caused by the emperor's blood flow have also been cleared up, and gradually returned to order.

  The closed shops reopened one by one, and there were more pedestrians on the road.

  All industries have regained their vitality, and the scene of heavy traffic has returned.

  The monsters and people who have become the price will never speak again, so they are gradually forgotten. No matter what happened in the past, life always has to live.

   What's more, the people of Bega know very well that their lives are already happy compared to the civilians in other small countries that have been torn apart by war.

   At this time, Sha Xinghai had led his team back to Fufeng City, and before he could change his clothes, he came to report to his father:

   "The missing Deputy Envoy of the Kingdom of Feiling has been found, and his body is under a big tree on the west bank of Sanxin Lake. The nearby monsters said that they have never seen the murderer."

   Sha Taifu almost made a deadlock between his eyebrows: "Weiling Kingdom has been peaceful for more than ten years, and has been friendly with the leaders. I haven't heard of any gaps recently."

"Is it not a national enmity, but a personal hatred?" Sha Xinghai looked worried, "I heard that this deputy envoy is the son of General Yinshan. He has a good cultivation and has many followers. General Yinshan has a cruel temperament. Once this news reaches his ears, how can he give up?"

"Every time the emperor appears in the world, there are always a lot of moths. More than a dozen monsters have been injured and disappeared from the missions of various countries, not only the son of General Yinshan." Taifu Sha also had a headache, "Just now I went to report to my king. In fact, on the night of the eruption of Diliuye, it used its supernatural powers to monitor the big and small incidents in the city and the suburbs, and a few of them were actively participated by the mission. What is this called?"

   King Baoshu's supernatural powers are amazing. After all, there is a limit to the range, and it can only be monitored nearby, and there is no way to extend it to a place as far away as Sanxin Lake.

  That is a method unique to ancient demons and immortals, but people today are only looking forward to it, so there is nothing.

   "My king's birthday ceremony will be held tomorrow, and the curfew will remain tonight. The whole city will be patrolled and additional staff will be sent."

  After Sha Xinghai retreated, Mrs. Sha thought for a while and asked Wu Jinsong who was standing aside:

   "You came to report yesterday that He Xiao received the emperor's ointment in a hundred miles northeast of the city?"

   "Yes." Wu Jinsong has always admired him for his daily affairs, and he can remember a few small things so clearly.

   "It's not far from Sanxinyuan. He came back late, maybe he saw something, you go and find out."

  ￥￥￥￥￥￥

  Wu Jinsong stopped by to buy some appetizers before going to He Lingchuan.

   Entered the inn and knocked on the door, but no one answered, instead a cat protruded from the roof

head:

  「Who are you looking for?」

   "He Xiao."

  The black cat asked him again: "What's your last name?"

   "Wu, I'm from Taifu Mansion."

  The black cat jumped onto his shoulder and whispered in his ear: "My boss told me, you go to Songhe Restaurant to find him."

  Wu Jinsong understood, left the inn and walked back to Songhe Restaurant on East Street.

  This restaurant is about 400 steps away from Taifu's Mansion, not too far or too close, so the consumption in the restaurant is not too high or too low, just right.

  Wu Jinsong and other guards often come here for drinks.

  He walked in and said he was looking for a guest surnamed He, but the clerk did not take him to the box, but took him to the guest room in the back row, and knocked on the door of one of the rooms:

  「Master, you have a visitor.」

  He Lingchuan sat in the room with wine on the table.

  Wu Jinsong entered the door and sat down directly, and asked him: "Why did you change to live here?"

  「I’m staying here so that I can have a night of drinking with Brother Wu.」

  There are guest rooms at the back of Songhe Restaurant, even if there is a curfew, guests can still come to the front building to drink. As long as you don't walk around in the street, the officials don't care. It's just that the rooms here are a little more expensive than He Lingchuan's original inn, so the price should be doubled.

  Wu Jinsong put down the dishes in his hand: "I'll add some dishes to your room."

  He never cared about the curfew, he can run around any night.

  Wu Jinsong took it for granted, He Lingchuan took it for granted, and neither of them mentioned it.

  He Lingchuan asked the waiter for some plates, and poured the food and wine brought by Wu Jinsong into them with his own hands. The two toasted each other with a glass of wine. He Lingchuan's eyes lit up when he saw a dish, and he reached out to take one and peeled it.

  Wu Jinsong gave a thumbs up: "Brother He knows the goods! I brought many people to eat this, and they dare not touch it."

  In the wine and dishes he brought, the stewed beef is fragrant and red, and it is well cut, and each piece is attached with thin and shiny tendons. But the first thing He Lingchuan picked up was a marinated egg.

   People who are afraid of this stuff are really afraid, and people who love to eat really love to eat it.

  He Lingchuan asked while eating: "Why is Brother Wu here?"

   "Didn't I tell you yesterday that I want to drink with you today." Wu Jinsong secretly thought that this kid knew he would come, and even invited a cat security guard to pass the message.

  He Lingchuan filled a glass for him: "Is there anything else?" Wu Jinsong made an appointment to drink tonight, and arrived before noon.

  「What could be the matter?」

  「Then just drink and not discuss business tonight.」

  Wu Jinsong was slightly taken aback, and coughed: "Practice is not a public job, is it?"

  He Lingchuan old **** Zaizai: "Okay, you can ask if you want to ask. But tell me first, what happened?"

   This kid. Wu Jinsong was helpless, he came to find out, but he was not expected to be found out first by the other party: "It was something that happened in Sanxinyuan on the night of the eruption of the emperor's fluid."

   "Oh?" He Lingchuan asked him, "Who died this time?"

  There is a curfew tonight, and it will be Baoshu Wang Shoudian soon. If there is nothing serious, Wu Jinsong will choose this time to come to him?

  Although He Lingchuan saved this person, he couldn't be more clear about the weight of the friendship between the two.

"The Deputy Envoy of the Hanling Kingdom." Wu Jinsong said, "When the Ling Kingdom's mission came to report the case two days ago, they happened to encounter God's slurry when they passed the Sanxinyuan, and the deputy envoy got separated and disappeared. Mr. Sha took people to Sanxin Xinyuan searched around, and finally found the body of the Deputy Envoy by the Sanxin Lake, although part of it had been bitten by birds and beasts, it was still recognizable."

  He Lingchuan had a good idea: "What kind of monster is this deputy envoy?"

   Fufeng City also found the body of the Deputy Envoy of the Mausoleum, so that would be easy.

"Yin Mountain Python." Wu Jinsong shook his head, "It is still the son of General Yinshan of the Ling Kingdom. He is forty years old this year and is just about to come of age. It is said that General Yinshan sent him out to practice with the regiment this time, and he did not expect to encounter such a thing. The embassy entrusted the Taifu to investigate and see which of General Yinshan's opponents also came to Fufeng City."

  「Oh? Tai Tuo also thinks this is a vendetta?」

"Currently

  I can't say for sure, I only know that it has been drained of flesh and blood. If it wasn't for vendetta, who would be so cruel? "Wu Jinsong said seriously, "In the past two days, Fufeng City's external and internal affairs have been busy. If Brother He finds anything, please let me know."

  He Lingchuan pondered for a while before asking him: "The Yinshan python you mentioned is a big gray snake with thin black patterns on its skin?"

  Wu Jinsong was shocked: "Yes, yes, exactly! Have you seen it?"

"That night, a crow reported that there was a large amount of emperor liquid by the lake. I rushed over to see that many monsters and warriors were fighting by the lake. The battle was very tragic. The two "Laozhi" who won at the end were about to clean up the spoils , but was frightened away by a dozen or so people. The deputy envoy of the Weiling Kingdom you mentioned, that is, the Yinshan python was still sneaking up to the leader of the group of people. He wanted to make a surprise attack, but he suddenly revealed his true form and surrounded and slaughtered them. .”

  Wu Jinsong was stunned when he heard this: "What, the Deputy Envoy of the Eling Kingdom went to rob the emperor and was killed?"

  The cause of death is as simple as that, like other monsters, they died for the emperor?

   "Didn't you say that several missions were downsizing due to their involvement in the emperor's blood dispute?" Youkai are monsters, and they are not reserved because of their status as envoys.

  He Lingchuan shrugged: "I also heard from those people that the killing was wrong."

   "Kill..." Wu Jinsong was stunned, "Was it wrong? Who did they want to kill?"

  The Yinshan python died in vain?

"do not know."

  Wu Jinsong felt a chill in his heart.

  Those people actually killed the wrong target? In other words, they will do it again!

  He Lingchuan said again: "The Yinshan python probably looks very similar to that target, so it was recognized as a mistake?"

   That is to say, the target of that group of people is also a long worm?

  「You also saw the murderer who killed the messenger yesterday.」

   "Huh?" Wu Jinsong was startled, and turned his mind several times, "You mean, those people in the inn yesterday? Oh, why didn't you say it earlier!"

  He Lingchuan picked up a piece of sauced beef and chewed it slowly.

  Well, chewy and delicious, it is indeed the appetizer that Wu Jinsong bought from a time-honored restaurant.

"On the night of the eruption of the emperor's fluid, monsters and warriors by the Sanxin Lake died by the dozens. It's not surprising. If you don't mention this Yinshan python, how would I know that he still has such a status?" Don't say that that night Human life is worthless, monsters die like dust, how many people care afterward?

   "The leader of the man called himself Fushan, sneaked near the inn last night, probably trying to kill me."
