Qingcha Town.
The sound of galloping horseshoes continued to be heard, and the townspeople avoided one after another, and the peddlers pushing the carts also retreated one after another.
On the not-so-broad street, a group of men and women in black clothes were galloping wildly. In the lead were two old men with gray beards and strange weapons.
These people are more or less embroidered with different numbers of red fish-shaped patterns. The few are Pisces, and the many are even five fish.
The two old men in the lead were embroidered with patterns of white whales.
In just a few breaths, the dozen or so riders disappeared on the street in a blink of an eye. Many hawker townspeople came to their senses at this moment, and some acquaintances asked each other about who the galloping horse was.
Among them, the well-informed tea stall old man looked at the direction in which the knight was leaving and sighed.
"This is troubled time again." He shook his head.
"Why did Uncle Zhou say that? Wasn't the one who passed by just now a member of the Red Whale Gang? The Red Whale Gang is the largest gang in the Northland, and they are mostly the ones who maintain order and stability. What's wrong?" Sitting and drinking tea One of the guests wondered.
"Of course the old man recognizes that they are the adults of the Red Whale Gang, but you don't know that the two leaders are big figures at the level of the white whale." The old man at the tea stall said in a deep voice, "I have lived in Qingcha Town for three full years. In ten years, this is the second time a master who has seen the white whale mark comes here."
"Oh? Then old man, when was the last time you saw it? Is there any difference in this white whale logo? I only know that the more fish patterns there are, the higher the status in the Red Whale Gang." Another burly man approached and asked road.
The tea stall old man shook his head.
"The white whale symbol is only eligible to be used by elders and internal and external affairs envoys, and that level is one level higher than that of the helmsman, close to the level of the deputy gang leader.
We are a mere small town, but such a big man can come here, what else is possible other than a big event? "
Hearing what he said, the faces of the tea guests who were still listening to the excitement suddenly changed a little.
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and after a while, someone spoke slowly.
"Could it be because of the recent frequent reports of missing persons?"
"Is that the thing that reported to the official but didn't get any results?"
"The important figures of the Red Whale Gang will definitely not come to this place looking for trouble for nothing. Although our Qingcha Town is good, it can't compare with the bustling Huanpei City and Yanshan City."
Everyone said something to me, and quickly judged the possibilities.
"It's really troublesome..." the old man at the tea stall sighed again, bowed his head and continued to greet the guests.
... ... ... ... ... ... ... .
In the mountains, at night.
A torch is constantly cruising in the mountains, searching for targets.
Under the cold moonlight, the red flames looked extremely bright and dazzling.
Xu Chuanzhou looked solemn, holding a pair of three spikes, walking in the forest with a pair of tiger eyes scanning around.
"I found it. There is a light in front of it, it seems to be the light of a white lantern!" A gang member suddenly shouted.
"Where!?" Xu Chuanzhou strode towards the direction of the gang members.
He and another elder were ordered by the gang leader to investigate the news. Originally, he was supposed to stand still and meet Zhao Jiaojiao who had already set off, but he still couldn't hold back, and led his people into the deep mountain where the rumors frequently happened.
This time, he brought more than a dozen masters here in one go, all of whom were confidantes of his subordinate Hongrongzhuang.
If it wasn't for showing off his abilities in front of the gang leader, he wouldn't have pulled out his personal power.
Xu Chuanzhou knew in his heart that the Red Whale Gang dominated the Northland right now, making other forces unable to hold their heads up. The leader of the gang was known as the Sword King of the Northland. His martial arts were superb, his strength was strong, and no one could match him. If he can earn some attention during the heyday of the Red Whale Gang and enter the vision of the leader of the Lu Da Gang, it will be a great step forward for his Xu family's future foundation.
So after weighing the pros and cons, he pulled out his private soldiers in one breath, and wanted to solve the anomaly that occurred here quickly and well.
The faster the speed, the more it may attract the attention of the gang leader.
After a few vertical jumps, he quickly came to the disciples who made the sound.
"It's right there!" The gang pointed to the depths of the dense forest.
Xu Chuanzhou took a look, and really saw a white light looming.
"Everyone, follow me!" He shouted suddenly.
Among all the masters, the weakest one is at the Pisces level, and outsiders are also masters who can govern a block, and this is the time to take advantage of the opportunity to make meritorious service.
Right now, all kinds of strange things in the Northland have been cleaned up, and finally found a place that can make meritorious service. These gangsters are all eager to try and are extremely active.
More than ten people and more than ten torches lined up in a long snake, and soon came to a small village.
The village is built on a piece of black stone like old tree bark, and stone houses are scattered on the uneven slopes.
That white light came from a large stone house on a slope.
Xu Chuanzhou looked at it, and there was a slanting stone step in front of the stone house door. Under the white light and fire light, it could be seen that the stone step was old and covered with moss.
"Go, go and have a look." He ordered. "Half of the people are guarding outside, Hongzi, Xiaoyi, Xiaochen, take people in with me!"
"Yes!!" Several confidants responded one after another.
They are masters of the Red Whale Gang, and Elder Xu has a profound skill in urging Yan, especially after the secret training of the gang leader a while ago, it is even more unfathomable when he comes back.
I have also easily investigated several strange things before. So they are quite confident at this time.
Xu Chuanzhou led a group of people, walked up the stone steps slowly, came to the stone house with white light, and knocked lightly on the door.
Squeak.
The wooden door didn't close, it opened by itself.
Inside is a spacious small yard.
Xu Chuanzhou squinted his eyes, pulled out a handful of three-pointed thorns with his backhand, and strode in.
There was a crowd behind him, all holding torches, pulling out the long knives on their backs, and walking into the yard vigilantly.
"There is someone in the room!" A gang member with sharp eyes saw the figure sitting in the main hall at a glance.
Xu Chuanzhou walked slowly to the center of the courtyard and looked around. He noticed that there were no traces of footprints on the ground, not even in front of the door. They were covered with thick moss, as if someone had walked there.
The surroundings were silent, except for the crackling sound of burning torches.
Xu Chuanzhou pondered for a moment.
"I am Xu Chuanzhou, the elder of the Red Whale Gang in the North. No matter which faction or faction you belong to, if you commit murder near Huanpei City, don't you think my Red Whale Gang is too low?" He suddenly said loudly road.
There was silence in the main hall, and there was no reaction. The figure printed on the window paper remained motionless, as if it didn't hear it at all.
When Xu Chuanzhou saw this, his heart suddenly became angry.
"Bump the door!" He waved his hand.
Immediately, a subordinate came to the door quickly.
Hey!
With a loud shout, he slammed into the wooden door fiercely, but unexpectedly the door was not closed at all.
This person accidentally rushed forward, knocked open the door easily, and entered the main hall in a blink of an eye, almost fell to the ground without standing still.
Strangely, after the door was opened, there was no one in the main hall, and the figure reflected on the window paper before disappeared without a trace.
"Search for me!!" Xu Chuanzhou said coldly, waving his hand.
Since the turmoil subsided a while ago, the Red Whale Gang has been rampant in the Northland right now. In the past, Hongfang and some other forces had to be taken into account, but now it seems that all other forces are avoiding them.
Many things subside on their own before they get into trouble. This was the case with the strange thing he encountered last time.
"Maybe it's the same this time." Xu Chuanzhou thought to himself, holding double thorns, he stepped into the main hall slowly, and his subordinates began to scatter around to search for signs of people.
The main hall is bright, with white lanterns everywhere, brightly lit. There are also many strange and various ornaments hanging on the walls.
And facing the gate, there is a huge ancient mirror standing impressively.
"Is this...?" Xu Chuanzhou frowned and approached, carefully looking at the mirror.
The mirror is an extremely rare glazed mirror, which is very precious. If such a large piece of glazed mirror is put up for auction in the market, it can be said to be a priceless treasure, priceless.
"Elder Qi, there is no one in this room." Several subordinate leaders came back quickly to report.
Xu Chuanzhou turned his head and glanced at the people who came back to him.
Suddenly he frowned.
"Where's Xiao Chen?"
Several people looked at each other in blank dismay.
"I didn't see him, he just said to go to the yard outside the house to have a look." A female disciple whispered.
"Outside the house?" Xu Chuanzhou frowned even tighter.
"Let's go out and have a look first." He had a bad feeling. From entering this place to now, it seems that something is lurking in the dark, staring at them quietly.
A group of people were about to leave the main hall.
Boom! !
Bang bang bang bang! !
All of a sudden, all the doors and windows in the whole house were slammed shut, as if someone had slammed them shut outside.
Snapped!
The latch on the gate was slammed down, and the group of people were locked in the room all at once.
"Withdraw!" Xu Chuanzhou yelled, and rushed towards the gate first.
call.
It was as if someone had blown out the light.
The entire main hall, together with all the torches, were instantly extinguished.
The room suddenly became quiet, as if there was no one in it.
Time passed slowly... The courtyard was completely quiet, and Elder Xu and the others who brought people in were suddenly silent.
Boom! !
Suddenly, the wooden door was knocked open, and a figure covered in blood rushed out half of his body, but immediately behind him was grabbed by something and dragged back into the room.
"You wait, the Red Whale Gang will never let you go!! No matter who you are!! No matter who you are!!" The figure roared fiercely, and it was Xu Chuanzhou. There were two long bloodstains. Suddenly, he was dragged into the house again.
Boom! !
The door was closed tightly, and there was no sound in the room.
"A lot of people have been missing in a row?" Lu Sheng looked at the several seniors who were performing martial arts in the school grounds, and listened to Jin Wei's report in a low voice.
"In that direction, Elder Xu and Foreign Envoy Chen have all rushed, but there is no news yet." Jin Wei whispered.
Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes.
Chen foreign envoy and Elder Xu are both new high-level officials who have just been promoted by him. Before there was a problem in Huanpei City, he sent these two to help solve it.
Unexpectedly, it has been more than ten days now, and there is no news at all.
"Report." At this time, another guard rushed over and offered a letter in his hands. "Huanpei city dispatch!"
Lu Sheng stretched out his hand to take the letter, opened it and took a few glances. After reading the contents of the letter, his complexion darkened.
