◎Rubbing his frozen cheeks, Su Yunxiu suppressed the lingering thoughts in his heart, a few ups and downs, and swept towards the inn where Jiang Miao and the others were staying. ◎

The matter at the border came to an end, Su Yunxiu counted with his fingers, and exactly one month passed before and after.

He was worried that he and Yi'er would miss each other, so he resigned with General Lin that night, packed his luggage, and prepared to leave early tomorrow morning.

However, one wave is flat, and another wave rises again.

In the early morning, Su Yunxiu was awakened by a familiar "cuckoo" cry.

Um?White rice balls?

Rubbing his eyes, and sitting up halfway, Su Yunxiu took out the secret letter that he had sent, opened it, and the contents inside made his complexion change drastically, and he didn't feel sleepy at all.

The letter was written by the Empress Dowager, saying: After the emperor went out of the palace to send off the wedding at the ten-mile long pavilion, on his way back, he passed by Xianshui Town to observe the people's sentiments.He was suddenly attacked by a group of monsters with poison all over his body and strong martial arts, and the guards in Jinyi lost to them.His Majesty was taken away and has been missing for more than a day.

After reading, Su Yunxiu stabilized his mind, flipped his fingers over, and put away the secret letter.Immediately afterwards, he came to the table and picked up a pen to reply quickly, and the white rice ball first sent it to the palace.

He took the burden by himself, got on his horse, and without further delay, set off immediately to the place where the incident happened.

Hua Yiren originally followed him, but as soon as he left the city gate, he was cut off by his five senior brothers who appeared out of nowhere.

It is said that the empty-nest old man who stayed behind in the Sleepless Palace misses his apprentice. Thinking that he does not think about food and tea every day, and cannot sleep at night, he is as pitiful as he can be...

Helpless, Hua Yiren had no choice but to go back to the Sleepless Palace first.

After the two parted for a while, Su Yunxiu ran alone for a day, and at night, people had to rest even if they didn't stop.

He looked up, and vaguely saw the outline of a village not far away.

Drove the horse and ran close, and set foot on the straight long street.Su Yunxiu jumped off his horse, and was going to find someone to stay overnight.

The village was dark, and the villagers fell asleep early, so it was normal not to be able to hear human speech, but they couldn't even hear a cock crowing or a dog barking, which was very strange.

Every household on both sides of the long street shut their doors tightly, no matter how much Su Yunxiu knocked, they would not move.

He didn't give up. He knocked on the No.15 door and repeated the words he had just said many times: "Excuse me, is anyone there?"

Suddenly, the door panel moved, opening a thin crack.

The door was very dark, and it was difficult to see the appearance of the people in the house. Su Yunxiu asked politely again: "May I ask the host to stay overnight?"

After a while, an old voice came from the crack of the door, "This is not an inn."

Seeing that the door panel was about to close, Su Yunxiu quickly stretched out his foot to hold it, and took out an ingot of ingot from his waist, and said with a smile: "I know, I'm on my way to Guibao, old man, please be accommodating~"

After a while, the gap in the door was widened, and Su Yunxiu could clearly see the person behind the door.

It was an old woman with white hair and a hunchback.

She opened the door and stepped aside, apparently willing to let him in.

When the old woman turned around and lit an old oil lamp on the table, Su Yunxiu found a wooden stool and sat down casually, and asked inadvertently: "Grandma, everyone in your village goes to bed early. I knocked on the door many times , only you can open the door for me."

Then he looked around the house, which was shabby and dilapidated, lacking in popularity, and asked curiously, "You are the only one at home?"

The old lady saw that the young man looked upright and generous, so she scooped up a bowl of clear water and handed it to him, "Hey, don't mention it. Our Fufeng Village used to have good weather and good weather, and everyone lived and worked in peace and contentment. Somehow, since a few months ago, the villagers one by one Missing. At first, the kid from the next door disappeared, and then everything from the half-grown guy to the strong guy disappeared.”

Su Yunxiu put down his drinking bowl, frowned and said, "Have you reported to the government yet?"

"Why didn't you report it? It's useless! People can't be found, and they keep disappearing. The official master couldn't help it, so he asked a mage to do it. Finally, he said that the village's feng shui was broken and asked the villagers to move away." The old woman sighed, "So, if you have money, Those who are capable have all moved away one after another. Now in the village, I am the only old bone left~"

After finishing speaking, the old woman stood up tremblingly holding the back of the chair, and went to the back room, going to sleep.

The moment she lifted the curtain, she thought of something, and reminded her sideways: "Young man, drink water and go to bed early. Remember, no matter if you hear any movement outside at night, don't open the door!"

"Well, thank you mother-in-law, you can go in and rest quickly." Su Yunxiu nodded in response.

But that's how people are, the more you don't let me know what to do, the more curious you will be.

Blowing out the oil lamp, she closed her eyes and lay on her back on the wooden plank seemingly obediently. In fact, Su Yunxiu did not fall asleep, but pricked up her ears and listened carefully to the wind and grass outside the door.

After an unknown amount of time, there were several knocks on the door, causing him to open his eyes vigilantly.

Su Yunxiu quietly approached the door, and while pulling the door open with his left hand, the Tianling sword in his right stabbed out.

The people outside the door were not slow to react, holding a knife to block.

In the blink of an eye, the two sides didn't see clearly, but they saw each other's weapons clearly through the moonlight.

The next moment, the two closed their positions and shouted in unison:

"Damn it!"

"Little Sanshui!"

"Why are you here?"

After a moment of silence, Su Yunxiu folded her arms and leaned against the door, so that she could say another sentence in a leisurely way: "Aren't you guarding your Qiyue?"

However, the young leader seemed to have something on his mind, and he was a little impatient. He ignored the ridicule, pushed his shoulder away, and entered the door on his own.

It made Su Yunxiu look puzzled, and turned to look at You Zhi who was closely behind him.But the iron-faced guard kept silent, just nodded to him, greeted him and entered the room.

Yes, the sky is big and the earth is big, sleep is the biggest.

On the second day, it was just dawn.

Su Yunxiu bid farewell to the old woman and hurried on her way. Unexpectedly, Jiang Miao also got up and walked behind her.

There is a forest outside the village, and the farm has no horse feed, so Su Yunxiu led the hungry Siyun into the forest to let him eat some grass leaves.

"Hey, you ran away, so what about the letter I asked you to bring to Yi'er?" Su Yunxiu turned to Jiang Miao who came in to graze the horse.

"Give it to the informant." Jiang Miao cherished words like gold and said expressionlessly.

After speaking, before the horse had a few mouthfuls to eat, he eagerly got on the horse and prepared to leave.

Youzhi next to him suddenly grabbed the rein of the horse and said vigilantly: "Master, wait a minute, there seems to be something moving over there!"

Su Yunxiu turned to look at the corner of the forest where she was pointing to. There really seemed to be something... He walked a few steps forward and saw a black figure squatting on the ground, gnawing on something with his head down.

At this time, Jiang Miao got off the horse, strode forward and turned to the side of the man.Only then did it become clear that what he was eating was a half-decomposed animal carcass.

I don't know if it's because of illness or some other reason, but the man's skin is black and purple, his appearance is haggard, and he is very ugly.If it weren't for the day, I would have thought it was some kind of monster.

"Who?" Jiang Miao scolded, holding back his nausea.

Hearing the human voice, the man raised his head and screamed strangely. He opened a pair of faint red eyes and grinned blood-colored fangs. He jumped forward and rushed towards him.

Taking a step back, Jiang Miao grabbed the handle of the knife behind him, and instantly drew the knife to compete with his sharp claws.

Unexpectedly, this monster, which looked like a human but not a human, and a ghost but not a ghost, was extremely fierce, so powerful that it directly swept away the young leader.

not good!

Su Yunxiu tapped his toes and reached out to catch the person in mid-air. After landing, they all backed up for several steps before stopping the force.

"Get on the horse and retreat!"

Scanning and pulling out the sword to entangle with the monster, Su Yunxiu said while throwing Jiang Miao, who had a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth, onto the horse beside him, and rode Siyun himself, and immediately took the two horses Out of the woods.

You Zhi swayed a few times, shook off the monster, and Da Ma followed closely behind.

After running for a while, thinking that the monster would not be able to catch up, the three of them slowed down.

"Young master, does the monster just now look like the group of people who injured the master in Xianshui Town as Madam said in the letter." You Zhi said flatly from behind.

Jiang Miao, who was pale, coughed a few times before opening her mouth to speak.He covered his chest with one hand, he was unprepared just now, his internal organs must have been shocked.

"Xianshui Town, where are you going too?" Su Yunxiu took the lead and said.

You Zhi touched the horse's belly with his leg, approached his young master, took off the water bag and gave it to him.

While Jiang Miao was recovering from drinking water, she briefly told Su Yunxiu about her previous relationship.

It turned out that the martial arts leader and his wife were eager to think about children, so they went to the capital to find someone.Passing by Xianshui Town, there happened to be an Immortal Festival held there, and it was very lively, so I stayed for a few days.

Unexpectedly, I met a group of weird cloaked men who intercepted and killed a group of chariots and horses.Jiang Yang, the leader of the martial arts alliance, naturally couldn't stand by and go to help.

Concerned about his wife and family, he finally failed to stop the gangster from committing the crime, and even suffered some skin trauma.After coming back to apply medicine and bandage, I didn't take this little injury to heart.

Unexpectedly, after one night, the person collapsed, his lips were black and blue, obviously poisoned.

The madam was terrified, and hurriedly sent someone to find the doctor, and at the same time wrote a letter to the family, urging Jiang Miao to come over for an idea.

Hmm, right back and forth.

Su Yunxiu nodded, guessing that Leader Jiang happened to meet the group who hijacked the emperor's brother.

When loved ones are in trouble, we don't know whether it's good or bad.

Without further ado, the three of them speeded up at the same speed and headed towards Xianshui Town.

Qi Jingluo was woken up abruptly.

He moved his head away from the shaking strange car wall, turned his eyes around, and found that his hands and feet were bound, his mouth was stuffed with a cloth ball, and he was lying on his side in the car.

Beside him is Yuan Fu who is also sleepy.

Through the crack of the door, he could see that the cloaked monsters were driving.

Thinking of the ferocity and horror of this group of things, Qi Jingluo shuddered.

After a while, he forced himself to calm down.She squirmed a few times on the ground, sat up halfway, and bumped Yuan Fu's back with her leg a few times, trying to wake him up.

The effect was remarkable, and Yuan Fu woke up with a "huh".

Turning his head to see Lord Long Live, he wanted to scream a few times when he got excited.

It was too late to say that, Qi Jingluo suddenly raised the hand tied with hemp rope behind his back, pressed it heavily on his neck, and turned his head to signal with his eyes ----- don't make a sound.

Yuan Fu nodded knowingly in an instant, and when the hands on his neck were removed, he stretched his legs, sat up, and stood back to back with Lord Long Live, using his fingers to write in each other's palms: Your Majesty, are you okay?

It's okay, Yuan Fu, do you have anything on you that can save you? ------Qi Jingluo wrote.

Yuan Fu lowered his head and scanned his whole body, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the colorless and odorless powder in his waist, which is the signal powder used to summon white rice balls on weekdays.

Overjoyed, he shook his fingers and wrote on His Majesty's palm: Yes!Quick Bird's contact medicine powder, sprinkle some along the way, Xia Wang will find us soon!

After understanding what he meant, Qi Jingluo's eyes lit up.

The monsters outside the car don't eat or drink, don't sleep and rest, just drive and run.Fortunately, they still remembered that there were living people in the car who needed to eat and drink.

Every day, the carriage will be stopped regularly to bring in some food, but there is no possibility of untying it, that is, the cloth ball in the mouth will be removed, the food will be roughly fed, and then the mouth will be blocked again.

However, the tied master and servant have been together for a long time, and they have a very tacit understanding.He took two turns to divide the work, grabbed some powder and hid it in the palm of his hand every day. When the monsters were not paying attention, he secretly spilled it from the hole in the carriage window.

Leaving aside the two groups struggling to survive, Xiang Su Yunxiu and the others finally rushed to Xianshui Town where the incident happened.

Jiang Miao immediately went to the inn to find his parents, while Su Yunxiu met Lu Zhun, the Minister of Dali Temple who was secretly sent to investigate the case.

Led by Mr. Lu, they went to see the crime scene.

Standing in front of the war-damaged carriage leaning on the ground, Su Yunxiu listened to the detailed attack process and the investigation situation these days.

It was said that after the emperor disappeared, the gates of the city were immediately blocked, and the royal guards were secretly searching from house to house, but nothing was found.

Su Yunxiu thought about it, and quickly asked: "After the Immortal Festival is over, what about the performers?"

"Usually, jugglers from other places are invited to perform. After the event, they leave the town." Lu Zhun didn't know why at first, thinking that Xia Wang asked why the ancestral temple was sacrificed for no reason.

As he spoke, he also realized something was wrong. He slapped his thigh with his palm and said angrily, "Oh no, the sacrificial utensils and dresses are wide, so it's easy to hide someone out of the city, and it's not easy to be noticed."

"I told you not to search the city anymore, let's expand the scope of the inspection." Su Yunxiu patted him on the shoulder and said.

Lu Zhun bowed to salute, then quickly turned around to deploy the order.

After he left, Su Yunxiu searched carefully around the carriage alone, then jumped onto the nearby roof to search around.

However, he didn't find any new clues. He squatted on the ridge of the roof in disappointment, holding his chin with both hands, and couldn't help thinking in his mind: It would be great if Yi'er was by his side, and he would be able to find a breakthrough from this mess. .....

A gust of cold wind hit his face, and he was able to regain his senses.

Rubbing his frozen cheeks, Su Yunxiu suppressed the lingering thoughts in his heart, and after a few ups and downs, he headed towards the inn where Jiang Miao and the others were staying.

Whether in public or private, he had to visit Uncle Jiang.

When I arrived, I saw Jiang Miao with an angry face, tugging at the collar of an old doctor with a gray beard, and asked, "The poison can't be cured, a bunch of quack doctors!"

The old doctor was helpless, and explained in distress, "Young master, this is not an ordinary poison. It is a kind of Gu poison, and I really can't do anything about it."

Seeing that the old man was getting red-faced and thick-necked by him, Su Yunxiu stepped forward and patted his straight arm, "The doctor in the county can't do it, so let's go to Fanzhao and ask the imperial doctor to see it. If it doesn't work anymore , and my junior brother, don't worry!"

As soon as the words fell, a beautiful woman with red eyes and elegant clothes came out from the back room, and said in a hoarse voice: "This young man is right, Miaoer, you should quickly let go of this old man and prepare a spacious carriage." , we set off as soon as possible."

The author says:

Su Yunxiu: The two chapters that didn't mean anything, I miss him!

Shen Quyi smiled slightly: Miss me?Still want me to solve the case?

The big tail behind him shook vigorously, and Su Yunxiu doggedly said: "How can it be, Yi'er! I want to die a gentleman who is gentle, unparalleled in intelligence, and upright... [-]-character adjectives are omitted here... ...You have rejuvenated!"

Well, with the accent on the back, the cowardly hero has a strong desire to survive!
