"Okay! Two guests, please come in." Sihe said in a long voice.
There was only a wall between him and Shuo Ling's guest room. He opened the door and took a look at the east room. The outside was quite clean.
Then, Li Qiye said to Sihe, "Bring some food in." "
"Sir, please wait a moment, I'll go on my way." Sihe said and retreated.
They traveled long distances those days, and it was a long time since they had a warm meal or a sound sleep.
Now take a good rest and recuperate your energy. Jie Donglai will also have the energy to investigate the disappearance.
When he arrived at the room, Shuo Ling sent a signal to summon the leader of the secret guard at the border fortress.
After a while, a figure flashed into Shuo Ling's room.
"I belong to the east and see you Lord Marquis." This person is the leader of the secret guard, Hei Yan.
Without even raising his head, Shuo Ling asked Xiang Heiyan, "How is the investigation of the disappearance going? Are there any clues?"
"Back to the Marquis, I have no clue. I found out in Bu Nao that there is a village called Temple Village outside the city that is very suspicious. Zhu Dong suspects that they are responsible. The villagers in Bu Nao rarely go out, and outsiders are not allowed to enter." Black Flame said.
Hearing Hei Yan talk about the village, he couldn't help but raise his head and look at Hei Yan, frowning slightly, "Oh? Have I investigated it?"
"That village sounds strange. Whenever Shu Dong goes to investigate in the morning, he will get lost at the entrance of the village. He will leave the village before going around. Someone must have cast a enchantment formation outside the village." Hei Yan explained.
Shuoling's brows were furrowed at that time.
According to Bai Yan, he definitely went to that village that night. Because it was early in the morning and he wanted to avoid the villagers, he didn't even remember where the village was.
Now all the fingers are pointed at that village. He begged Dong Lai to think carefully about his wrong move.
Signaling Hei Yan to retreat to the east, Shuo Ling walked to the window, thinking, and asked to negotiate with the local officials. He was afraid of who would govern the village. Since he couldn't enter in secret, he would go in openly.
Thinking of this, Shuo Ling looked out the window and found that two people in the crowd were trying to stop him from entering the village. The speed was quite fast. The more they rushed to find him, the more likely there was a ghost in the village.
Shuo Ling woke up Mo Li, and the two of them ducked into the busy city through the window, preparing to go to the government...
Shuo Ling originally didn't pay attention to the two of them, but he found that the two of them always appeared not far behind him as if they knew where he was.
Li Qiye also noticed something strange, "Master Hou, there is someone following you."
"I know, let's avoid them first, and then go to the government, so as not to alert the enemy!" Shuo Ling said.
Li Li, who was a little confused, nodded. They had just arrived in Paradise City, why were there people following them? What happened to his Marquis that night
I thought I would hide from them quickly, but wherever they went to hide in Donglai, those two people would appear near them.
When the two were at a loss, Luo He's voice came from behind, "Brother Mo?"
Mo Li turned back.
"Brother Mo, are you really me?" Luo He looked excited.
Li Fei was also stunned, "So it's Brother Fei Luo!"
"How did we get in? I was about to go to the government office to apply for a sign to enter and exit Paradise City." Luo He then asked.
As he said that, he suddenly looked at Shuo Ling aside, "I... why do I smell like a wandering butterfly?"
"Missing Butterfly? What is that?" Shuo Ling asked.
Luo He explained to Shuo Ling, "The powder on the wings of the lost butterfly is generally used by caravans to go to unfamiliar places. Just sprinkle some lost butterfly powder at a certain distance, as you are afraid of getting lost. "
Listening to what Luo He said, Shuoling thought, could it be that those two people were following them all the way, or if those mysterious butterfly powders were sprinkled on him when? Why didn't he notice it at all
"So, is the lost butterfly used to detect ironing traces?" Shuo Ling asked Luo He again.
Luo He nodded, and then said, "If the Lost Butterfly has been very rare in the past few years, and the Lost Butterfly powder is even rarer, why do I have such a strong smell of Lost Butterfly powder in my body?"
When Mo Li saw the two people following him, he walked towards them and said, "It's a long story. Let's make it clear to Brother Luo later in the month."
With that said, the two turned and walked towards the alley next to them.
Liu Dong looked puzzled at Luo He.
"Master Hou, what should we do now?" Li Li asked.
Shuo Ling stopped and said, "Change clothes!"
"Change clothes?" Mo Li was puzzled, but saw the serious look in his Marquis's eyes.
Then he said, "No, Lord Marquis."
After changing, Shuo Ling Cuo Moli said, "Go and attract them away. Who is instigating what happened in the mysterious village of Wei Chuan Chu, and what is its purpose? If not..."
As he spoke, Shuo Ling made a head-wiping leg gesture.
Mo Li understood, jumped out of the alley, and walked towards the two people.
At this time Shuo Ling was observing in secret, and sure enough, just as Luo He said, the two men chased after Li Li in the direction he left.
After Mo Li left, Shuo Ling hurriedly walked towards the government. This matter should not be left behind!
After asking people outside the city, Shuoling found it and saw He Mansion written on the door, confirming whether it was Lord He Zhanghe who was in charge of that city.
Shuo Ling walked to the side of the courtyard, ducked into the house, and found He Zhang's room.
At this time, He Zhang was leisurely sipping wine outside the house. When he saw a person suddenly flashing into the house, out of instinctive reaction, he shouted loudly, "Someone is coming! There is a thief..."
Before He Zhang could even shout out, Shuo Ling brought the gold medal given by the emperor to He Zhang's eyes.
Seeing this, He Zhanglian went to kneel to the east and said, "Dongguan didn't know that the Marquis was coming, so he missed the greeting from afar. I hope that the Marquis will forgive me."
Although he is outside the wall. But he had heard of Shuoling's reputation, and he immediately became respectful.
"There is a mysterious village outside the city. Does Mr. He know about it?" Shuo Ling ignored the respectful He Zhang and asked directly.
He Zhanglian went to reply, "I wonder if what the Marquis said is a temple village?"
"Master He, have you ever investigated this village?" Shuo Ling nodded and continued to ask.
It seems that the Marquis has already started investigating.
Thinking of that, He Zhang replied truthfully, "Back to Lord Marquis, this village is usually very peaceful. It pays taxes on time every year. Except for some mystery, everything is fine."
Then he asked Xiang Shuoling, "I wonder what problem the Marquis discovered?"
"Master He has arranged something for the next few months, and I am going to go to the village to find out what's going on." Shuo Ling told He Zhang.
Although he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Shuohou's gourd, after thinking for a moment, He Zhang nodded and agreed to Donglai.
He Zhang had long received a secret order from the emperor, giving Shuohou full responsibility for the matter and asking him to cooperate with his investigation. He said, "Dongguan will prepare as soon as possible."
"Master Marquis has been traveling for many months. Dongguan will go and prepare the room and let Master Marquis rest first." Seeing Shuo Ling nod, He Zhang continued.
Shuo Ling said, "In order to avoid alerting the enemy, I don't want to reveal my identity for the time being, so I don't need to bother Mr. He."
"Then I wonder where the Marquis will stay? When Dongguan is ready, will he go and inform the Marquis?" He Zhang asked.
"Ruyi Inn in the city, Tianzihao!"
With that said, Shuo Ling returned the same way.
He Zhang's voice came from behind, "Dong Guan, I would like to send you my respectful greetings..."
After Shuo Ling left, He Zhang even got ready. Wasn't the Paradise City so lively before? But since the disappearance came out, the people outside the city were panicked.
People spread rumors that monsters appeared in the border fortress and always came out to eat people at night. Eat the person directly, leaving no bones behind!
When the sky gets dark, the doors will be closed. Without the previous prosperity, Paradise City will no longer be blissful!
In fact, he had already doubted whether it was the Temple Village's doing, and whether something strange happened, and he was afraid that it was really a monster as everyone said! If something goes wrong at the frontier, and whether it can be punished by beheading, He Zhang can report it to the court, tell the story of the cause and effect, and let the emperor send someone to investigate.
At this time, Mo Li led the two people to a sparsely populated area outside the city and quickly hid behind a big tree. When they were not paying attention, he knocked them unconscious, tied them up, and dragged them outside a ruined temple. .
