Miao Xue embarked on the road to the capital, while Lin Yi continued to inquire about the whereabouts of the Iron-faced God.
People in the rivers and lakes also began to know that King Nan was tracking the Iron-faced God. They thought that Lin Yi was following the Iron-faced God to eliminate harm to the rivers and lakes, which made the righteous people happy. So they all actively helped Lin Yi to investigate.
Some Jianghu people had seen the Iron-faced God in different places, and they tried their best to pass the information to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi filtered the information he received, and then he drew several places where the Iron Masked God appeared on paper in order to deduce the whereabouts of the Iron Masked God.
As a result, Lin Yi discovered that the direction of the Iron-faced God was towards the capital.
Is the Iron-faced God going to the capital or somewhere near the capital?
Lin Yi then also set out for the capital.
If he had known earlier, he would have gone with Miaoxue.
On the way, Lin Yi encountered two more ambushes and a trap, both of which were resolved by Lin Yi. The ambushers also suffered heavy casualties. Lin Yi was now alone and had no worries about being entangled, so he was not afraid of the enemy's overt and covert attacks.
Although Lin Yi wants to know the details of the mysterious force that cooperates with Qin Dingfang, he must find his younger brother first to avoid long nights and nightmares. If something happens to his younger brother, he will hold a grudge for the rest of his life.
Lin Yi decided to find his younger brother and settle accounts with Qin Dingfang and the mysterious force.
On the third day of Lin Yi's journey, he encountered a carriage with a carriage on the road.
In addition to the two coachmen, the carriage was also guarded by three armed men at the front and rear.
At first glance, it doesn't look like an ordinary home.
When the carriage passed Lin Yi and his horse, suddenly a hand stretched out from the gap in the curtain on the window.
A small, fleshy, white and tender hand.
This is a toddler's hand.
Then this little hand lifted the curtain completely. Then a cute little face appeared on the car window. This was a little girl, about two or three years old. The pink makeup of a girl is like a jade, and she was very fleshy.
She is cute. She has two little pigtails and a pair of dark eyes curiously looking at the bleak scene outside the window.
At this time, Lin Yi happened to be walking parallel to the carriage.
Lin Yi made a face at this cute little daughter.
The little girl was not afraid, but smiled at him.
The girl's bright smile really made Lin Yi feel more at ease.
Because the little girl's smile was somewhat similar to his daughter Xiaofu's smile.
Lin Yi suddenly became more fond of this cute baby.
Lin Yi then said to the little girl: "My dear, it's cold, please put down the curtain."
The girl said in a childish voice: "I'm not cold. Uncle, do you have any candy?"
Lin Yi said: "Do you want to eat candy?"
The little girl said: "I want to eat...but my mother won't let me eat more..."
Lin Yi said: "Uncle didn't bring any candies with him, so he owes you some candies. I'll definitely give them to you when I see you again. Just be obedient now and put down the curtain."
The little daughter stretched out a little finger that was as green as green and said seriously: "Then let's pull the hook and deceive people like dogs."
Lin Yi smiled and stretched out a finger to hook with the little girl's.
At this time, a female voice also sounded in the carriage.
"Linlin, this uncle has promised you. Please put down the curtains and close the windows. Don't freeze. Otherwise, I won't be able to explain to your mother..."
The little girl then smiled sweetly at Lin Yi and lowered the car curtain.
Lin Yi also thought of his daughter Xiaofu.
It has been more than three years, and I really don’t know what Xiaofu has become now.
It was almost noon, and Lin Yi entered the county town ahead. He found a restaurant, and prepared to eat before heading on the road. Lin Yi was about to eat when the food was served, when several people came into the restaurant.
Six men, and a pretty middle-aged woman in gorgeous clothes. There was also a girl dressed as a maid. She was holding a cute little girl in her arms. It was the one who asked Lin Yi for candy through the car window.
little girl.
Apparently, they also came to this restaurant for lunch.
Lin Yi was very happy to see the little girl again.
He winked at the little girl.
The little girl was also very happy to see Lin Yi. She smiled at Lin Yi.
When she smiled, Lin Yi thought of his daughter Xiaofu.
The little girl struggled to get down, so the maid put her on the ground.
The little girl opened her legs and ran happily towards Lin Yi's table.
The maid and two men quickly followed her.
The little girl ran up to Lin Yi. She raised her head and looked at Lin Yi, then stretched out her hand and said, "Uncle, promise to give me candy when you see me again."
When Lin Yi entered the county town, he looked for a place to eat and didn't even have time to buy candies.
Lin Yi said, "Uncle forgot to buy it. How about I buy it for you after dinner?"
The girl's longing eyes suddenly became disappointed.
There were tears in my eyes too.
She pursed her lips and said to Lin Yi: "Liar...dog..."
Lin Yi was really embarrassed to be called a liar and a dog by children.
Just as he was about to coax her, the little girl turned around and raised her two pigtails.
The little girl walked towards the beautiful woman, and the maid and the two men followed behind her.
The little girl came to the beautiful woman and mumbled something to the beautiful woman. The beautiful woman glanced at Lin Yi, then picked her up to comfort her.
Then they chose two tables and sat down, ordered some food and started eating.
While Lin Yi was eating, he glanced at the little girl from time to time.
Lin Yi found that the little girl never looked at him again.
She was obviously angry with him.
Lin Yi didn't expect that a little girl at such a young age could have such a personality.
Lin Yi felt a little guilty.
Although he and the little girl have never met each other, he cannot break his trust with this little girl.
So Lin Yi ate his meal quickly, paid the bill, and then left the restaurant.
Lin Yi asked a passerby where there was a place that sold candies. Then he went to buy candies. When he arrived at the candy store, Lin Yi carefully selected several candies.
When Lin Yi bought candies and returned to the restaurant, the little girl and those people were no longer there.
Less than a third of the food on the two tables was eaten.
Lin Yi asked the waiter why the two tables of guests left.
The waiter told Lin Yi that while they were eating, a man hurried in and whispered something to the beautiful woman, and the beautiful woman took the man away.
Lin Yi looked at the bag of candy in his hand, and remembered the little girl's disappointed look, and felt an inexplicable sadness in his heart.
Lin Yi put away the bag of candies, and now he could only hope to meet the little girl again and fulfill his promise.
Lin Yi rode out of the county seat and continued on his way.
After traveling for more than three miles, there was a fork in the road ahead.
Lin Yi was heading to the left when he suddenly heard a faint cry for help coming from the direction of the fork on the right.
This voice was made by a woman, and this voice was not unfamiliar to Lin Yi. Because the voice belonged to that beautiful woman. Blindfolded for more than three years, Lin Yi could clearly distinguish any voice.
Lin Yi turned his horse onto the forked road and ran in the direction of the sound.
After running for more than a mile, Lin Yi saw a forest in the northeast.
The sound came from the forest.
Lin Yi rode his horse into the forest.
Then he saw the beautiful woman lying on the ground, her face pale and painful. Her hands were covering her abdomen. Blood was pouring out from between her fingers.
The maid lying next to the beautiful woman was already dead.
The carriage was parked next to it.
The coachman and the protectors also lay scattered on the ground.
Lin Yi's heart tightened. He got off the horse and walked to the carriage and opened the carriage. The carriage was empty and the cute little girl was missing.
