Chapter 144 The mysteriously missing Fifth Xiaoxiao
Chapter 144 The fifth Xiaoxiao is mysteriously missing
"Tch, do you know what it means to catch the thief first?" Some smart people in the field naturally didn't care about this, and they said sarcastically.
Most escort masters haven't read much, so they certainly don't know what the art of war is.
"What's the meaning?"
After hearing this, the educated bodyguard said helplessly: "In layman's terms, in a fight, hit their boss first."
Everyone immediately understood that although they had not read the book, when it came to fighting, that was their area of expertise. Whichever side held down the opponent's boss first would win first.
Listening to the whispers among the other escorts, the marching team became less depressed and more relaxed. However, Zhao Feng's expression did not relax at all, and he still looked a little solemn. While eating, he
What I saw last night was told to the other people in the Huofeng Escort Bureau in a spiritual way.
Last night, Zhao Feng had been releasing his soul to investigate. Except for the green-armored guards, he only saw people coming out, but no one entering.
This shows that the other party did not go in to kill people when the guards were lured away, but had already ambushed the inn. The six people should have been killed before the guards were lured away. If calculated this way, the guards were lured away just to escape.
.
"Does this mean that this person's cultivation level is not necessarily very high?" the bodyguard beside him muttered in a low voice.
Zhao Feng just nodded slightly and did not make his actions too obvious. However, since the other party would ambush in advance, it proved that the enemy must know their route of action.
Recalling the whole incident, he felt that there were a lot of strange things in it. How did the other party know that they were going to enter this inn?
"Could it be that the escort disciple who took them to the inn... was actually a traitor?" However, this idea was rejected by him as soon as he proposed it. First of all, this disciple did not take the initiative to lead the way, but was led by Qing Jia.
The guard picked it up casually.
By chance? It's unlikely. A smart enemy won't try his luck. Secondly, the suspicion of the inn itself can also be eliminated. The old shopkeeper and the two waiters did not do anything strange the whole night last night, and they
They themselves had no cultivation and were obviously ordinary people. Not only that, judging from the reaction afterwards, they probably didn't know about this incident either. In other words, someone deliberately led them there.
Thinking of this, Zhao Feng felt that there was no need to continue. Now that the inn was in dilapidated condition, it was impossible to find any clues. Instead of thinking about that, it was better to think about what accident would happen next.
Because the death of those six people was so strange, the escorts of the Huofeng Escort Bureau looked a little nervous, fearing that they would be attacked by enemies while walking. Seeing this, the lazy young man smiled slightly and said to everyone
:
"Don't be so nervous. You should relax. The enemy won't attack easily during the day. Just rest assured."
Although the escorts didn't understand the reason, their years of getting along with each other made them trust Zhao Feng's judgment. Since the big shopkeeper told them to relax, they would naturally do as he was told.
…………
The deaths of the six family members in the inn had already reached the ears of the Tan family, but Tan Shuiqing didn't seem to care at this time. He was throwing bait into the water while staring at the geese retreating to the north, as if these were
Everything has nothing to do with you.
The bait was thrown four times in total, each time in different directions. After the bait was thrown, the fish that were originally hidden at the bottom of the water came out of the water one after another, vying for the bait.
When the old man saw this scene, he just smiled and walked away.
…………
In the Qingyun Sect, because of the rain today, there are no other disciples in the martial arts field outside the door. There are only two old men walking side by side holding umbrellas, just like two old friends who have known each other for many years, but they hold hands
The paper umbrellas are a little different, one is dark green and the other is dark yellow.
The dark green one is Feng Huzi, the leader of Qianzhu Peak, and the other one is Ou Ye Changfeng, the leader of Qingyun Sect.
"Junior Brother Feng, is there still no whereabouts of your disciple?"
Feng Huzi shook his head. The disciple he was referring to was naturally Wu Xiaoxiao. Ever since Zhong Lingxi competed in martial arts to recruit a bride, Wu Xiaoxiao had lost track of him. In the past year, he had been to many places.
However, he was still unable to find the whereabouts of the other party. He seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, which made him a little worried.
"I have traveled all over Luo Yunguo, and apart from the fact that there was an inn where she left traces, I can't find any other clues. After traveling all over Luo Yunguo, I also went to the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Beasts and the Kingdom of Zhenwu, but I still didn't find out anything.
If I don’t hear any news, I’m afraid…sigh.”
When Feng Huzi said this, not only did his tone feel helpless, but his eyes were also filled with sadness.
After hearing this, Ouye Changfeng was silent for a while, and then slowly replied:
"This child is blessed with great fortune. He may have fallen into a secret realm somewhere."
Feng Huzi sighed. At this point, he could only persuade himself to think for the better.
"I hope so."
The two walked side by side to the Qingyun Palace, then put away the paper umbrellas and placed them outside the gate. Then, the two old men walked in one after the other.
There are a total of four wooden chairs placed on Qingyun Hall, but the two wooden chairs on the right are always empty at any time. No one else knows, but Feng Huzi, as the master of the first peak, understands the meaning.
The seat to the right of Ou Ye Changfeng is the seat of his second junior brother Ou Ye Changming, and the seat on the far right is the seat of their deceased junior sister, Ou Ye Wan'er.
"Is Senior Brother Changming whereabouts now?"
Ou Ye Changfeng's face looked a little heavy. Whether Ou Ye Changming was still alive was the answer he had always wanted to find, but after so many years, there was still no news from him.
"I have been looking for it for a long time, but there is no whereabouts."
Feng Huzi knew that the leader had a knot in his mind. In fact, they all thought that Ou Ye Changming had died. But when Li Chengtao used the "Yin and Yang Double Wheel Jue", they realized that Ou Ye Changming was still alive, but
I don’t know where the other party is now.
"If Senior Brother Changming intends to retreat to the world, we will naturally not be able to find him. Senior Brother, the head master, there is no need to worry too much."
Ou Ye Changfeng nodded. Compared with his junior brother's whereabouts, the current affairs are more important.
"In recent days, there have been constant internal disputes in the Luo Yun Kingdom. The two major factions are trying to push each other, and they seem to have the intention of making things worse."
Although Feng Huzi didn't know much about this matter, he could still see the internal conflicts among the six major families of Luo Yun Kingdom.
