"Where's the person?" Inside the tavern, the guard captain Ha Zuo asked Xiang Feng Sanniang.
Feng Sanniang was looking for something in the cabinet, when she heard this, she pointed to the table in front: "Over there."
Ha Zuo took a look and asked, "Which side?"
"It's over there!" Feng Sanniang raised her head, "Huh? Where is the person?! Where did the person go?!"
She just found something, why did the two dolls disappear
On the bustling street, the leader took a little guy by the hand and walked quickly to his carriage.
Jing Yun hugged Dabai tightly in his arms, and asked puzzledly, "Uncle, where are you taking us? Are you not waiting for Daddy?"
The leader's evil eyes were icy cold: "Your father has something to do today, so he can't come."
"Oh." Jing Yun was a little disappointed.
Wang Shu asked, "Will Daddy come tomorrow?"
The leader gave a vague hum.
Suddenly, Ha Zuo ran out from the front door of the tavern with his guards, and he saw the man and child in front of him at a glance. Although it was just a few backs, it was enough for him to be sure that the other party was the person he was looking for.
"People in front, stop!" Ha Zuo shouted.
The leader's steps did not stop at all.
Hazuo turned up the volume: "Stop! I don't want to hurt you, but if you are stubborn, don't blame me for being rude!"
The leader grew up in this small town, and he knows exactly what kind of bears the soldiers here are. If they had half the prestige of this group of people, the town would not be as chaotic as it is today.
Not a local soldier, but pretending to be a soldier, it can be seen that there is an ulterior purpose.
"Uncle, is that person calling us?" Wang Shu asked.
"Ignore them, get in the car!" The leader has already arrived in front of the carriage, and let the two children get into the carriage. He untied the rope tied to the tree, sat on the outer seat, and savagely waved his whip. Get away!
Ha Zuo saw that the opponent not only didn't stop, but slipped away with the wind on his feet, his eyebrows were raised in anger: "Catch me!"
The guards got on their horses one after another, and chased after the carriage of the leader.
A carriage cannot run on a single horse. The distance between Hazuo and his party and the carriage gradually narrowed. Hazuo pulled out the scimitar from his waist and said fiercely: "Stop quickly, and I will spare you! Otherwise, I will really You are welcome!"
call out!
An arrow nailed to the roof of the carriage!
Wang Shu and Jing Yun opened their eyes strangely, Xiao Bai and Da Bai opened their mouths wide, revealing cold and dangerous eyes.
The leader said: "There is a yellow rope on the top of your left, pull it!"
Jing Yun was sitting on the left, looked up at the rope on his head, stretched out his small hand and pulled it, and heard two clicks, as if something was opened, and a row of darts flew out from the bottom of the car. , the three guards were shot, and they screamed and fell from their horses.
Ha Zuo parried a dart with a scimitar and escaped, but his men lost three, which really angered him!
He clamped the horse's belly tightly, and swung down a heavy whip. The horse suffered from pain and ran even harder!
The rest of the people also tried their best to catch up, and they were determined to punish the guy who hurt their companion on the spot!
Ha Zuo and another subordinate caught up with the carriage, attacked from both sides, and slashed at the carriage with a machete.
"There is a red rope on the top of the right, pull it."
Wang Shu was sitting on the right. She raised her head, grabbed the red rope, pulled it lightly, and with a bang, a basin of cold water poured on the leader, who almost fell off the horse!
The leader frowned: "Yellow rope! Yellow rope!"
Wang Shu puffed up his cheeks: "You clearly said red!"
The leader collapsed: Do I have it? !
Wang Shu pulled the yellow rope on the top, and two arrows protruded from both sides of the carriage without warning, and stabbed Ha Zuo and another guard. The guard couldn't dodge and was stabbed. As soon as it was loose, it fell from the horse.
On the other side, Ha Zuo raised his knife and cut off the arrow. Unexpectedly, there was another mystery hidden in the arrow. The moment it broke, another tiny silver needle flew out. It hurt him, but it was nailed into the horse's belly.
The steed ran a few steps, and suddenly its whole body went limp, and it fell down.
Ha Zuo also fell to the ground, rolled a few times before he managed to stabilize his figure, but before he could take a breath, the horses behind him came one after another, and everyone was chasing the carriage with all their might. I didn't expect that such an accident would happen to Ha Zuo and his mount. The steed was in the middle of the road, and Ha Zuo was also blocking their only way. They didn't even have time to slow down, so they hurriedly tightened the reins. Let the horses fall backwards, tripping one by one, and soon, a whole team of guards "fall down".
Looking at the carriage again, it has already gone far.
Ha Zuo gritted his teeth angrily: "Cunning thing! It's best not to fall into my hands, Ha Zuo! Otherwise, I'll take your skin off and eat your flesh! I'll make you die!"
The carriage left the small town, drove into the mountains, and in the mountains, went around into the jungle.
The entrance of the jungle is concealed so that ordinary people cannot find it.
The leader let out a long breath of relief.
The carriage went round and round and arrived at the small thatched hut. Qiao Zheng was packing medicinal materials in the yard. In the afternoon, he and A'dal went to the deep mountains and picked a lot of rare medicinal materials that were rarely seen in the Central Plains. He was very happy now.
Wang Shu and Jing Yun jumped out of the carriage, and ran towards Qiao Zheng with their calves: "Grandpa!"
Qiao Zheng smiled: "You're back? Are you hungry?"
The two nodded in unison.
Qiao Zheng patted the shoulders of the two of them: "There are fruits picked by Zhu'er in the room, you can eat some to fill your stomach first, and grandpa will cook right away."
The two went happily!
The Hierarch came over with his whole body wet.
A'dal looked at him in confusion: "Master, have you taken a shower?"
The leader looked at him suspiciously: "Have you seen anyone who doesn't take off his clothes in the shower?"
Qiao Zheng also saw him, and wondered, "How did you do this?" Without waiting for the leader to answer, he said, "I'll make you a bowl of ginger soup."
After saying that, he turned and went to the kitchen.
The kitchen was originally messy, but now he has cleaned it up.
A'dal asked blankly: "I just want to know why you haven't sold those two children yet? Are you soft-hearted?"
The leader snorted disdainfully, raised his bright red lips and said, "I will soften my heart for the two stupid Ji family members? I just discovered something very interesting. Go to the city to find out the news. I want to see, what is the origin of these two little things."
…
In the dark room, the cool wind whizzed by.
Hazuo knelt on the ground with one knee, put his right hand on his left shoulder, and reported the incident in detail to the person behind the screen: "... If that guy wasn't so cunning, Hazuo had already taken them down!"
Behind the screen, there was still the indisputable voice: "Is he cunning or are you careless and underestimating the enemy?"
Harzo lowered his head.
The woman standing on the side glanced at Ha Zuo, looked at the screen and said: "I didn't expect them to come from the clan. How did they come? Didn't they check strictly at the checkpoint? Why did you let them in? Could it be a mistake? They're just local kids."
Hazuo hurriedly said: "There is no mistake, according to the lady proprietress of the tavern, they are a pair of dragon and phoenix twins, they are very beautiful, and each holds a ferret in their arms. I can be sure that they are the ones we want. Looking for someone!"
The woman said: "Then what if it's just pretending..."
"Huh?" came a majestic voice from behind the screen.
The woman fell silent.
"Who is the man who helped them escape today?" the person behind the screen asked.
Ha Zuo recalled what Feng Sanniang said: "That man is a human trafficker, he sold them to Feng Sanniang, but for some reason, he took the children away."
The person behind the screen was silent for a while, and then said again: "Didn't you say that when you arrested those two children in the Central Plains, you met a man who could play the Dementia? Is this man the same as before? "
Ha Zuo had never been to the Central Plains. The news he got was a secret letter from his subordinate Feige. The letter said a tall man in his twenties who wore a black cloak. He did not mention his appearance. Today, he only saw a figure from the back. The other person was indeed wearing a black cloak, and his figure was considered tall. The age was asked by Feng Sanniang, and it seemed to match the letter.
"Nine out of ten it is him." Hazo said.
"It's really a man?" asked the person behind the screen.
Ha Zuo said firmly: "Yes, this subordinate heard him talking, it was indeed a man's voice! The proprietress of the tavern also confirmed that he is a man!"
"Man..." The man behind the screen smiled coldly, "Go to the tavern again, bring the painter with you, even if you dig three feet, find him for me!"
…
In the early morning of the next day, Qiao Wei had breakfast downstairs and went to the market as usual.
Even if Tana City is the capital of the Tana people, it is bustling and full of exotic customs. There are many shops on both sides of the street. Although it is not as luxurious as the capital city, it also has a quaint taste.
The small stalls on both sides sell fresh animal skins and medicinal materials. The Ziyingcao, which is rare in the Central Plains, is just a street stall here. The unified currency in the market is copper coins, silver coins, and gold coins. The style is similar to that of Brother Kong Fang in the Central Plains. But the face value is different, one gold coin is exchanged for ten silver coins, and one silver coin is exchanged for one hundred copper coins.
Before they set off, they actually brought a lot of gold with them, and they could eat and squander it for several lifetimes. Unfortunately, here, they just bought a few outfits and there is not much left. There is no way, the people in Tana City are very rich, and the steamed stuffed buns in the Central Plains are worth a silver coin here.
So Qiao Wei is quite poor now, with a few silver coins exchanged for silver ingots lying alone in her purse, and she can't even afford a roast leg of lamb.
Qiao Wei touched her shabby purse, and decided that feasting her eyes would be enough.
After wandering around the market for a while, Qiao Wei found that the place where the notice was posted was full of onlookers. Curious, she also walked over. There was a portrait on the notice board, which showed a man wearing a mask. In his twenties, with a handsome appearance.
"It's him?" Qiao Wei touched her chin suspiciously.
Beside the portrait, there is another image of a bracelet.
Under the image, there are a few lines of words.
Qiao Wei didn't recognize the characters of the Tana tribe, so she asked the young man beside her, "Brother, what is the painting on it?"
The young man said: "A prisoner, he sneaked into Helan Castle last night and stole the exquisite bracelet that He Zhuo gave to little Dolma. The clan is offering a reward for his capture. Those who provide clues will reward him with five hundred gold; if he is captured Those who have won will be rewarded with two thousand gold."
Two thousand, this is not a small fortune even in Tana City.
Her grandfather is really generous.
Qiao Wei squinted her eyes coldly. Not far away, there was a small platform set up by the guards. On it was a thick pile of portraits of prisoners. The public could collect them by themselves, and Qiao Wei also took one.
When he returned to Fort Nasai, Ji Mingxiu was discussing something with Ji Wushuang. Seeing her coming, Ji Wushuang gave her a strange look, and then retreated knowingly.
Qiao Wei raised her eyebrows: "What did you just say? He looked at me strangely."
Ji Mingxiu put away the note in his hand indiscriminately, and said jokingly, "It's probably because you've been seducing this young master recently, so he can't stand it anymore?"
Qiao Wei raised her eyebrows: "Isn't he thinking about breaking up you and the young lady all day long? He should be happy that I seduced you."
Ji Mingxiu smiled lightly, and changed the subject: "What are you holding?"
Qiao Wei opened the portrait and spread it on the table: "Helan Fort was stolen, that Xibei bracelet was stolen, and now my grandfather... cough, the young lady's grandfather is offering a reward for arresting him. If you provide a piece of information, you can get five dollars." Baijin, whoever catches him will get two thousand gold, aren't we short of money? Anyway, we are idle, why don't we catch him and make a small profit?"
Lord Leader: I f*ck raise children for you, and you want to sell me!
Ji Mingxiu couldn't help laughing: "You want to earn your grandfather's money too?"
Qiao Wei said: "If you don't make money, you don't make money! Besides, I know this man. He is the little bastard who co-operated with Xun Qingyao last time. I haven't settled with him for the last time. This time, it happened to be merged!"
Ji Mingxiu's eyes fell on the portrait: "That person? He is from the hermit family? But it doesn't look like he was with those fakes. How did he find Ji's family?"
Qiao Wei ate a fruit: "I have to ask you, when did the Ji family offend so many Yin people?"
Ji Mingxiu is more confused than Qiao Wei. The Ji family has no relationship with the Yin clan. If you talk about provoking, it is because he married the Yin clan's little Zhuoma and got involved in the Yin clan's struggle: "I asked Senna Eagle, Sena Ying said that apart from him, the Sena family did not send anyone to the Central Plains, so this person has nothing to do with the Sena family. Now the fake little Dolma is arresting him again, and he and she are not on the same side. Who is it?"
Qiao Wei shrugged: "Who knows?"
Ji Mingxiu paused: "Didn't you say that he doesn't know martial arts?"
Qiao Wei recalled for a while: "Well... I don't know how to do light work, and I don't have internal strength. As for the moves, there are a few moves."
Ji Mingxiu said: "It is impossible for a person without internal strength and lightness skills to climb up to the hundred-foot Helan Fort."
Qiao Wei thought for a while: "Maybe they walked in through the gate?"
Ji Mingxiu shook his head: "The guards in Helanbao are stricter than the palace of the Liang Dynasty. If he wants to go in, he must first have an identity that he can walk in. With this identity, it is easy to find him, and there is no need to go through so much trouble." .”
Qiao Wei seemed to have an epiphany: "So you suspect that he didn't steal Xibei's stuff at all, and Xibei's want to arrest him is there another reason?"
Ji Mingxiu nodded: "A reason why it's inconvenient to announce to the public, haven't we been looking for each other's flaws? This, maybe it is."
Qiao Wei rubbed her chin: "It makes sense, Xibei is busy fooling Mrs. You's grandfather now, so all previous grievances and grievances should be put aside. Since she is so anxious to find this man, it must be this man who treats her well." What kind of threat is it? If she doesn't find him out, she will have trouble sleeping and eating!"
…
The tavern in the town became a mess after a "storm" baptism.
Feng Sanniang knelt on the ground, and was held on the neck by a guard with a knife, trembling all over: "I can say... I have said it all... You go around me..."
Ha Zuo said coldly: "Where did that person go?"
Feng Sanniang said in fear: "I don't know... I really don't know... He moved away eight years ago... After that, I never came back. I only saw him once recently, when he came to sell the child... "
Ha Zuo asked in a deep voice: "Does he have any relatives? Friends?"
Feng Sanniang said: "He had a father when he was young, but his father left the clan and didn't come back for many years, presumably he died outside!"
Ha Zuo's eyes turned cold: "His father? You didn't mention this yesterday!"
Feng Sanniang trembled three times: "That's because... he's not my own... I thought it wasn't important..."
Ha Zuo slapped the table with a slap: "What else do you know, just tell me the truth!"
Feng Sanniang trembled and said: "His father is a well-known alcoholic here. He only drinks every day and never does anything. He lives in poverty. One day his father went to sea, and when he came back, he was four or five years older. My child, but his father treats him badly, he always beats him when he is drunk, I applied medicine to him a few times, and then he somehow found out that I was in the bead business, so... he found me, sold himself."
Since, sell yourself
The corner of Hazo's mouth twitched: "Who did you sell it to?"
Feng Siniang said: "I sold it to a young couple. The couple had no children, and they treated him well at first, but after two years I gave birth to one myself, and he strangled the other's child... almost strangled to death, little one." Two bites drove him away... After that, he became a rogue in the town, and left after a few years. After seven or eight years, I don't know where he went or what he did. ... That's all I know, spare me, my lord!"
Ha Zuo grabbed her hair and pressed the machete against her neck: "Really... only these?"
…
In the evening, A'dal came back from investigating the news, and went to the woods behind the small hut with the leader.
"Have you found it all?" asked the leader.
Adal said: "Three messages, first: the whole island is looking for you, you are worth two thousand gold coins."
"Only two thousand?" The leader's eyes were cold, "I remember the Dark Island killer, but it was worth five thousand gold."
Adal: Eighteen people were killed.
"What about the second news?" The leader asked indifferently, as if he didn't feel much about being wanted.
Adal said: "The second news is that several foreigners lived in Senna's house, one of the foreigners was a woman who claimed to be the real Little Dolma, and Mrs. Sena took her into Helanbao , but was stopped by several elders."
really. The leader licked his bright red lips: "The third news?"
Adal said: "Feng Sanniang couldn't hold back, she confessed your details, and our lair was taken away."
A cold light flashed across the charming eyes of the leader, "How are you brothers?"
Adal said: "They all escaped, and there were no casualties."
The leader said: "Where are those old things?"
A'dal said calmly: "They are the ones who escape the fastest."
The leader casually pinched a leaf, raised the corners of his bright red lips, and smiled sinisterly: "This is my old lair, I have written down this account! You go and write a letter to Sennabao..."
A'dal interrupted him: "Master, I can't write."
The leader is cold-eyed: "Could it be that I will?"
Adal was silent.
This is really a very sad topic.
The leader waved his palm: "Bring a pen!"
The next day, Mrs. Senna was sewing animal skins in the house, and the guard brought a letter. Mrs. Senna opened it, and she was a little dazed.
What is this painting
Two crooked clowns, the two clowns are holding two smaller clowns in their arms, and an even more crooked big clown is standing beside him, the big clown is holding a... cucumber, on the cucumber Drops of water were dripping black and sent to the clown's mouth, as if he wanted to force the clown to eat it. There was also a gold coin drawn on the side, with "one side" written on it, and under the "one side", there was a missing stroke , but barely recognizable "female look".
"Female look?" Madame Senna frowned.
The maid opened her mouth: "Maybe it's... pretty?"
It's so good that Mrs. Ben can't understand it!
Mrs. Senna had no idea, the maid pondered for a while, and said, "It looks like a child drew it."
Mrs. Senna said: "I know that." Can your lord draw such an ugly picture? Her nephew is even better at six years old than this one!
The maid racked her brains and thought for a while: "Is it... these two children don't want to eat, so their father said that the cucumbers are very fresh, they have just been washed, and they are still dripping with water, eat them quickly, after you finish eating... you can become very nice?"
"Who sent this inexplicable thing?" Mrs. Senna put the paper on the table in disgust.
The guard said: "It's for foreign guests."
Alien guests? Mrs. Senna was confused, but she didn't withhold the letter: "Send it quickly, she is in the backyard."
"Yes." The guard sent the letter to Qiao Wei.
…
On a hidden path in the jungle, A'dal asked the leader: "Master, will they really bring it?"
The leader said with confidence: "Of course."
He drew it very clearly - Jingyun Wangshu was kidnapped by me, my knife was covered with blood, and now this knife is on their necks, and they will come to see me with a ransom of 10,000, otherwise...
I can’t draw more in the future, but I think everyone understands this meaning, after all, people who kidnap tickets will say so.
"Did you leave your address?" Adal asked.
Lord leader: "..."
forget.
…
Ji Mingxiu came out of Senna Castle. This was the first time he lived in Senna Castle and went out openly. The people here knew his "whereabouts" like the back of their hands. So unless it is absolutely necessary, he will not go out easily.
But today, it is the time of last resort.
He sent a letter to Feiniao, a disciple of the Sha Blood League, asking them to go to Ji's house to pick up the two children, but the disciples of the Sha Blood League sent back a message that the child had been picked up by him, and Qiao Zheng left with the children. The former Qiao Zheng left a letter to the Ji family, explaining the way to go, so that the Ji family don't have to worry.
However, he did not send others to pick up Jing Yun and Wang Shu.
The matter was so important that he dared not tell Qiao Wei, fearing that she would not be able to bear the shock of the disappearance of the two children.
Judging from the date, if Jing Yun and his party did not delay on the way, they would have already arrived at the Yin Clan.
He released the wind-chasing bird. The wind-chasing bird is familiar with Jing Yun's smell. The last time Jing Yun fell into the water, it was also the wind-chasing bird who found out Jing Yun's whereabouts. .
"Young master, the chasing bird is back!" Ji Wushuang said excitedly, pointing at the little colorful bird in the sky.
Ji Mingxiu stretched out his hand, and the chasing bird fluttered its wings and landed on his hand, then flapped its wings and jumped into the sky.
Ji Mingxiu's eyes narrowed, and he grabbed the reins: "Follow!"
…
In Tana City, Ha Zuo was riding on a horse, not in a very happy mood. He took over that guy's lair yesterday, but unfortunately he didn't catch anyone, and he didn't catch any oil or water.
A guard rode over and said to Ha Zuo: "My lord, our hounds have found the man and the two children!"
Ha Zuo's eyes lit up: "Really?"
The guard said to himself: "Yes, my lord, they are very cunning. We released ten of the most well-trained hounds, and only one managed to detect their tracks."
Ha Zuo laughed, one is enough: "Where are they?"
The guard said: "In a jungle on the South Island, we did tricks outside the jungle. No wonder we went wrong several times, but now we have cleared those tricks."
"Well done!" Ha Zuo patted him on the shoulder, looked back at the group of subordinates and said, "If you catch them, you will all be the heroes of my Ha Zuo. Besides the bounty, I, Ha Zuo, also have other rewards. Brothers, go to the South Island!"
