Zhu Xiucai and others who went to the Demon Suppression Division to inquire about information soon came back.
Before they could speak, just seeing their expressions, Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiaoer's hearts skipped a beat, guessing that Xue Xiaobao and his party probably did not stay here at the Demon Suppression Division.
And the situation turned out to be just as they had guessed.
"The local people from the Demon Suppression Department said that in the past few days, no night watchmen from Yizhou have stayed with them. They also sent people to ask the city gate guards for help. In the past few days, except for us, no other night watchmen have come from Yizhou.
People from the direction of Yizhou have entered the city."
"Have you never even entered the city?" Qin Qiaoer frowned and thought: "Is it because they are not familiar with the road conditions and missed the time to enter the city, so they can only stay in the wild?"
This possibility is not impossible, but Qin Shaoyou feels that things are not that simple.
Because Wufu's intuition told him that this matter was weird!
Qin Shaoyou's intuition was already very keen, and after being promoted to the third level, it reached a new level.
After pondering for a while, Qin Shaoyou called Cui Yougui and said: "Senior Brother Cui, you are proficient in divination. Please help me with a divination to see where Xue Xiaobao and Mr. Xu Qi are and what their situation is."
"good."
Cui Youwei agreed immediately, found a suitable place in the inn, took out the turtle shell and copper coins from his arms, and began to divine.
Qin Shaoyou then ordered Zhu Xiucai: "Go to the local demon suppression department again and ask them if there are any demons causing trouble nearby, and then ask them if they have seen any cloud-piercing arrows in the past few days."
"Yes." Zhu Xiucai accepted the order and left the inn again, running towards the Demon Suppression Division in the county town.
After Qin Qiaoer heard this series of arrangements from her brother, she asked solemnly: "Do you suspect that something happened to Xiaobao?"
Qin Shaoyou didn't hide anything from her, nodded and replied: "I am worried about this."
Qin Qiaoer actually had similar worries in her heart.
However, she still raised some questions.
"Beside Xiaobao, there are Mr. Xu and other night watchmen from the Demon Division of Luocheng Town. Moreover, he is also good at the six Confucian arts. He also learned swordsmanship from Mr. Wei. He is not the kind of rotten Confucian who has no power to restrain a chicken. Generally,
The monsters and ghosts cannot get close to them at all. Even if they meet a powerful monster and cannot defeat it, they can still shoot the cloud-penetrating arrows to ask for help, right?"
At this point, she paused and said suddenly: "That's why you asked Zhu Xiucai to go to the Demon Suppression Department again to inquire about the situation?"
"That's right." Qin Shaoyou nodded.
Then he smiled bitterly and sighed: "Xiaobao, that brat, is not a man of leisure. I was afraid that the demons didn't look for him, but he went to find the demons so bravely that he wanted to eliminate the harm to the place, but the result was that the harm was not eliminated.
When I arrived, I got myself in instead..."
Qin Shaoyou was speechless.
It is indeed possible for Xue Xiaobao to do such a thing. That boy has a criminal record. Not only did he run away from home, but he also dared to charge a group of Black Lotus Sect monsters alone.
His ability to commit suicide is no worse than his brother-in-law!
"Um?"
Qin Shaoyou frowned slightly, feeling as if someone was talking bad about him behind his back.
After Qin Qiaoer figured out these things, she became nervous and anxious again: "If this is really the case, wouldn't Xiaobao be in danger now?"
Qin Shaoyou consoled him: "If you really encounter a demon, Xiaobao's condition will definitely not be good, but it shouldn't be too bad. After all, he is the master's close disciple. Even if the master does not protect him secretly, he must have given it to him."
Some of his protective treasures."
While the two of them were discussing in low voices, Cui Youguo's divination also came to fruition.
"Judging from the hexagrams, Xue Xiaobao and Mr. Xu Qi are in the southeast of us, not too far away. Their current situation is not good. They seem to be in jail. Although they are fine for the time being, a bloody disaster will soon come.
!”
"Being behind bars? Doesn't that mean they were arrested? There will be a bloody disaster?"
Qin Qiaoer's face darkened and a light flashed in her eyes.
Seeing this, the red-clothed envoy under his command hurriedly took out a map from the bag and put it on the table and spread it out.
Qin Qiaoer picked up an oil lamp and stood in front of the map. He first found the county where they were located, and then traced his fingers all the way to the southeast.
There are no mountains on this route, but there is a lake within more than a hundred miles, and a city further away.
Everyone's eyes fell on the rather large lake.
"Is it possible that there is some kind of ghost in this lake that is causing trouble? That kid Xiaobao heard about it and took Mr. Xu Qi and others to catch the ghost and eliminate it. But instead of getting rid of the ghost, he was captured and used as food?"
Qin Qiaoer guessed.
"It's possible."
After Qin Shaoyou pondered for a moment, he took out the horn from the [Human Arsenal] and blew it.
As a low, mysterious horn sounded, a howling wind began to blow inside the inn.
Under the bloody moonlight, a group of invisible soldiers appeared in the inn, following the dark wind and the sound of horns.
The postmaster and several postmen were so frightened that they trembled and hugged each other tightly.
Qin Shaoyou told this group of Yin soldiers the appearance and characteristics of Xue Xiaobao, Xu Baan and others, and ordered:
"You conduct a search along the southeast direction to see if you can find any traces or clues of these people. In addition, investigate the lake and the surroundings of this city to see if there are any rumors about ghosts."
The Yin soldiers accepted the order and left the inn in the dark wind and darkness, and soon disappeared from the empty streets.
"What about us? What do we do?"
"We can also collect intelligence."
"Yes, we can too."
Xiao Qingji and others came running over on bamboo horses, noisy and trying to get Qin Shaoyou to arrange tasks for them.
They have restless tempers to begin with, not to mention the fact that there is a lot of fun to be had, and all of them are very active.
Qin Shaoyou thought about it seriously, Xiao Qingji and the others were not good at other things, but they were good at joining in the fun, and maybe they could really 'scratch' some clues.
So he said: "Okay, you can go too. But you have to keep your mouth shut and don't make noises so that everyone knows about it. If you alert others, I will take you all to make wine!"
The little Qingjis nodded hurriedly in agreement, then mounted their bamboo horses, covered their mouths, and disappeared in a flash.
Although they are small, they are quite fast after riding on bamboo horses. Even the little devil called "Lü Ling" may not be much faster than them.
This is one of the reasons why Qin Shaoyou is willing to send them to assist the Yin soldiers in their investigation.
If they were slow, Xue Xiaobao, Xu Ba'an and others might have been wiped out by the demons before they could find out the clues.
In addition to sending Yin Bing and Xiao Qingji to look for clues, Su Tingyu also set up an altar in the inn and performed the dream-telling technique.
I plan to see if the people here have seen Xue Xiaobao, Xu Baan and their party in the dreamland...
