[Comprehensive] Our city lord is glamorous and noble

Chapter 71

Jin Jiuling also disappeared.

The spreading and fermenting speed of this news was many times faster than Qin Sanlang's death.

Thinking about it, it seemed normal, after all, as Jin Jiuling, he was many times higher than an apprentice in a blacksmith's shop.

Not to mention Qin Sanlang, even if a prominent figure in the capital disappeared, maybe Jin Jiuling's disappearance would not be known to more people.

Not only because of his status in the world, but also because he suddenly became very diligent this year.

Although he used to be a fool and a dragon without seeing the head and tail, it seems normal to see him for ten days and a half months.

The prodigal son of the rivers and lakes should not be restrained, even if he has official posts on him.

Jin Jiuling likes to have fun and indulge in enjoyment.

But since returning from Wudang Mountain half a year ago, his whole appearance has changed. Not only has he become hard and simple, but he has also become extraordinarily dedicated.

It's almost like a changed person.

Jin Jiuling, the gate of the six doors, wished he could open it every morning, and he was also dedicated to handling the case, why didn't he be dedicated.

Even if he spent the night in Huajie the night before, he would definitely appear in the lobby with six doors in the morning refreshed.

But today, Jin Jiuling did not show up.

Zuo Zuo, who was ordered by him to arrive early, was completely at a loss.

I agreed to let me come to work early, but my immediate boss disappeared. What's the matter?

Qin Sanlang's body was in the unclosed thin coffin, because of the cold weather, he did not rot, his face was covered with a white cloth, if the white cloth was taken off at this time, he might look like a sleeping person.

Who told him to die so peacefully, without any ferocity or resentment at all.

Wu Zuo has seen countless corpses, including men, women, young and young.

But as long as the corpses were sent to him, they would definitely die.

If a person dies unexpectedly, how can he accept death willingly?

Therefore, the final state of the corpses sent to him varied, but none of them was peaceful.

The eyes were closed, but the expression on the face could not be changed, it would always stay in horror or resentment.

But Qin Sanlang's body was different.

His eyes are closed, his expression is relaxed, and his expression is serene.

If he didn't die in his sleep, he would accept his death with peace of mind like an old man.

But looking at his hands and his room, he definitely didn't die in his sleep.

There is only one possibility, he killed himself.

But the person who kills himself will not be afraid?

Naturally impossible.

Because people who kill themselves often fall into deep regret the moment before they die.

Instead, they will be more afraid of death at the last moment.

But Qin Sanlang is different.

He knew he was going to die, he even killed himself, but he didn't have the slightest complaint.

It was as if he was born to die.

Thinking of this, Wu Zuo shuddered.

Will there be people in this world who are born to die?

He doesn't know about others, but Qin Sanlang is indeed like this.

A gust of wind lingered around him, making Wu Zuo shiver involuntarily.

He thought that he should leave here and find a place to warm up.

under the sun?

When he stepped into the hall with six doors in the morning light, the sun came out outside, a rare warm sun in winter.

But when he went out again, he found that the sun had long been covered by clouds.

Thousands of miles of desolation.

Wu Zuo was suddenly very scared, and he suddenly became very unbearable to be lonely.

How could there be only him and a corpse in this huge hall?

When he turned his head, Qin Sanlang was still lying quietly in the coffin.

Serenely, it seemed as if he would open his eyes in the next second.

The one who found something wrong at the beginning was naturally the person with the six doors.

Wu Zuo didn't know Jin Jiuling very well, so he naturally didn't know how hard-working the other party had been working this year.

Even if Jin Jiuling hadn't arrived, he didn't realize the seriousness of the matter, but when he heard the voice and knew that someone was coming, he ran out of the lobby quickly, gaining popularity.

He didn't want to stay with Qin Sanlang's weird corpse, it would frighten him.

The man was also very surprised when he saw him coming out of the six doors suddenly, and said, "Why did you come so early?"

Wu Zuo said: "The head catcher Jin asked me to come."

The man said, "Then why did you come out?"

Wu Zuo said: "The gold shop is not here."

The man said, "Not here?"

Wu Zuo said: "Yes."

The man said: "Impossible."

Wu Zuo said, "I really didn't see him."

The man said: "Maybe you didn't find him."

Wu Zuo said, "It's because he didn't come."

The man said: "Impossible."

He said again, "I'll help you find it together."

He is very confident in Jin Jiuling, because Jin Butou is really hardworking. Unless it is a holiday, he is the first to come almost every day. As usual, when he arrives, Jin Butou has already read all the files. Why? Maybe that point hasn't come yet?

He firmly believed that Wu Zuo failed to find Jin Jiuling.

But when he really walked around the huge yamen, the man's face changed.

He really didn't find Jin Jiuling.

This person thought, maybe it was delayed by something.

This explanation seems to be very good, because no matter who it is, there may be urgent matters, get caught up in urgent matters, and cannot go to work on time.

Jin Jiuling is also a human being, so he will naturally have urgent matters.

Because of this explanation, the official's heart was a little more stable. He thought he should send someone to Jin Jiuling's house to look for him. If he was at home, he naturally didn't need to worry.

Will he be at home?He must be at home.

However, the reality was not as good as he thought, not because he thought that Jin Jiuling was at home, but Jin Jiuling was really at home.

The young man waited for a long time with other servant girls, and when the sky became clear, he did not see Jin Jiuling's shadow. As for the little Er Guigong who tipped off that their master was spending the night in another place and wanted to deliver clothes, he did not appear either.

This is very unusual.

Because Jin Jiuling loves cleanliness very much, and his thinking is also meticulous. If people don't stay at home overnight, they naturally don't have a change of clothes, so they will find someone to ask for a change of clothes.

These servants have already been trained and have their own rules.

But today it was very strange, Jin Jiuling himself did not come back, and no one informed them to go, so where did that person go?

Thinking of this, a cloud clouded his mind, and after the rooster crowed a few times, he couldn't help but entrust the boy to go to the six doors to see if Jin Jiuling was in the yamen.

When the official servant heard the boy's intention, sweat dripped down his forehead.

It seemed that someone was beating gongs and drums with a musical instrument in his ear, which made his ears buzz and he couldn't hear anything.

I only know that my mind is aching from the noise for a while, and what I hear seems to be covered with a thin film, and my whole body is empty, and I can't hear anything clearly.

He thought, it's over, the gold shop is gone.

Ye Gucheng said: "Jin Jiuling is missing?"

Langyue nodded.

Ye Gucheng said: "I know."

He said again: "Is there any news about Lu Xiaofeng?"

Lang Yue said: "No one under my command saw Daxia Lu."

Ye Gucheng said: "Okay."

Everyone in Jianghu knew that Jin Jiuling was missing, but they didn't know that Lu Xiaofeng was also missing.

After all, Lu Xiaofeng usually doesn't see the head and tail of the dragon, and he can't count when he disappears or when he suddenly appears.

As long as he doesn't want someone to find him, no one will be able to find him.

Ye Gucheng was not in a hurry, even though he was invisible at this juncture, he was not worried about what would happen to Lu Xiaofeng at all.

After all, Lu Xiaofeng was shrouded in some kind of mysterious luck. As the absolute protagonist of Lu Xiaofeng's legend, he would not die even if others died.

If Lu Xiaofeng died, it must be a fake death, because Ye Gucheng knew that he had the ability to turn danger into a dead end and be reborn.

Ye Gucheng is not the only one who has this idea, because Ximen Chuuxue is also very calm, he can drink tea, enjoy plum blossoms, practice swords, knows about Lu Xiaofeng, but doesn't ask.

Perhaps the only one who is worried about Lu Xiaofeng's disappearance is Zhang Wanrou.

But she saw that Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuuxue were very calm, and they were strangely comforted. If Ye Gucheng and the others trusted Lu Xiaofeng so much, then what was she worried about?

What she should be more worried about is herself who is about to walk on the rivers and lakes.

Walking on the rivers and lakes is just a walk in Yingtian, but this time, it is destined to attract too many people's attention.

Zhang Wanrou specially came to see Ye Gucheng and said, "Master Ye, I'm leaving."

Ye Gucheng thought that what you want to tell me when you leave, you should tell Ximen Chuuxue, but he didn't show it on his face, and said: "Okay."

This word unexpectedly made Zhang Wanrou feel a little relieved.

Of course, it's not the peace of mind of the relationship between a man and a woman, but she feels that City Lord Ye is indeed a very responsible and responsible man.

She finally understood why Lu Xiaofeng and Ximen Chuuxue trusted Ye Gucheng as they trusted themselves.

Because Ye Gucheng is such a trustworthy person.

There is a secret passage under the mansion, leading to the outside of the city. God knows how powerful the subordinates of Baiyun City are. As long as it is where Ye Gucheng settles, all of them are different.

What kind of dungeon secret passage, as long as people can think of it, there is nothing they can't do.

As soon as Zhang Wanrou's door was closed, a man in black jumped out from somewhere in the room. His concealment skills were so strong that even the first-class masters in the world could not detect it.

Obviously, this person himself is also a first-class master in the world.

Ye Gucheng said: "How did Jin Jiuling disappear?"

The man in black said: "The one who disappeared in the dark alley."

Ye Gucheng said: "No one is watching him?"

The man in black said: "Besides us, there are a few other people staring at him."

Ye Gucheng said: "Oh?"

The man in black said: "When he disappeared, our people were caught by other people."

Ye Gucheng said: "Do you know who the other party is?"

The man in black said, "I don't know."

He said: "Looking at the way of doing things, I am also used to this line of work."

Ye Gucheng said: "A dead man again?"

His tone couldn't help being a little mocking, because Ye Gucheng has heard the word "dead man" too often recently.

It was as if all dead men from all over the world appeared within a period of time.

In fact, there are very few in the whole world that are capable of supporting the dead.

The man in black said: "Probably not."

Ye Gucheng said: "No?"

The man in black said: "I thought it was a spy."

Although the nature of the work of a spy is the same as that of a dead man, people are not the same. Strictly speaking, a spy has his own emotions. He is a human being, who can be afraid, disgusted, and happy.

But the dead soldiers are different, they are puppets, they will not be angry or afraid, and they will do whatever their master wants them to do.

The man in black should be regarded as a spy himself, and still works temporarily, so he naturally has feelings for the other spy.

Ye Gucheng pondered for a while and said, "How many people are staring at Jin Jiuling?"

The man in black said: "There are four groups of us."

Ye Gucheng said: "Where do they come from?"

The man in black said: "I only know that one of them belongs to the Beggar Gang."

The beggar gang, Ye Gucheng thought in his heart, should be the one Lu Xiaofeng found.

The identities of the other two groups are not easy to say.

Ye Gucheng said again: "Please tell me in detail what happened after he disappeared."

The man in black said: "Yes."

The man in black said again: "We didn't see clearly how Jin Jiuling disappeared. At that time, one party attacked me and the other inexplicably, perhaps for the sake of making a fool of ourselves."

"Jin Jiuling was helped by the waiter in the hotel into an alley, and we moved forward slowly while fighting."

"Suddenly heard a strange sound, as if some hard object was knocked down by a heavy weapon. At that time, the man in black who took the lead seemed to have received some signal and ran away."

Ye Gucheng said: "You didn't stop him?"

The man in black said in shame, "This subordinate is incompetent."

No excuses, no stop, no stop.

Ye Gucheng said: "What heavy noise?"

The man in black said: "I guess Jin Jiuling was knocked down."

Ye Gucheng said: "You guess?"

The man in black said: "Because the waiter fell in a pool of blood."

Thinking of that scene, he couldn't help but sigh, because the waiter's luck was really bad, and nine times out of ten he was involved in it, and he didn't want to lose his life.

It wasn't that he said it, that scene was a bit miserable. When he hurried to the alley, he saw the waiter in the shop was completely dead, lying in a pool of blood.

As for why it is said to be completely dead, can you believe how strong a person is?

The skull is said to be one of the hardest parts of the human body. Even if it is hit by a person with outstanding strength, the skull will not be broken.

But the person who did it was very human. The back of the waiter's head was broken, and besides the blood, there was some other viscous slurry flowing on the ground.

Even if he saw that scene, he couldn't bear it.

Because the death is too miserable.

The shop boy was directly beaten to death, but Jin Jiuling was not there. Where did he go?

The movement of the man in black is not very slow, and his lightness kung fu is quite good, he can go a few feet away in one step.

Compared with the rumored Yanzi Sanchaishui, it is not much worse.

This is already a well-known Qinggong in Jianghu.

He rushed to the alley at his speed and did not see Jin Jiuling and the assailant, which explained a lot of problems.

Ye Gucheng said: "Do you think Jin Jiuling is alive or dead?"

The man in black said: "Based on ordinary experience, he should be dead."

Because the waiter also died.

But this is something that cannot be deduced with common sense.

The man in black thought about it, and said solemnly: "But I think that Jin Jiuling may not be dead yet."

He may have been kidnapped after being seriously injured, or he may have been rescued after being seriously injured, but if he really died, why not let him die in a pool of blood like Xiaoer Dian?

That's where the dead are, isn't it?

If the purpose of doing it is to kill Jin Jiuling, it seems very convenient to throw his body in the alley, as long as the person runs away, there is no risk of being discovered.

But if you run with someone, it's different, it's easy to be exposed, and it's easy to leave traces.

Desperately taking Jin Jiuling away must have another purpose.

There is no purpose that the dead can accomplish.

So it seems very likely that Jin Jiuling is alive.

Ye Gucheng said: "In this case, you should come back first."

The man in black said: "Yes."

His face was exposed to the sunlight, if Lu Xiaofeng saw it, he would shout how there is him everywhere!

Jin Mingmie's buddies, the guardian guarding the gate for the city lord, the coachman driving the carriage, and now even turned into temporary spies.

In a sense, he is really a promising little brother.

It's a pity that there is no serious name until now.

Qinghong sword entered the capital!

This news finally reassured the hearts of all the knights who had arrived at the process early.

They were stunned by the news of Jin Jiuling's disappearance early in the morning, because everyone knew that Jin Jiuling was investigating the matter of watching the battle.

They also knew that the boy who was with Jin Jiuling had died, which made their hearts almost hang.

Sword Demon is very confusing, and even the things related to him are very strange. Everyone knows that the capital is Jin Jiuling's territory, and he will disappear in this place?

And still at this juncture?

There must be some reason for it.

Everyone was uneasy, and even doubted whether the two parties would come, because they had already arrived in Yingtian early, and if Qinghongjian really wanted to compete with swords, they should have arrived in this city early to make preparations.

But until now, no one knew her whereabouts, which was very abnormal.

Now, the hearts of the spectators hanging high in the air can finally be let go.

In such a showdown that is announced to the world, the two protagonists will definitely not fail to appear.

On the contrary, they show up early to show their respect.

Needless to say about Sword Demon, he is a very mysterious figure. So far no one knows where he came from, where he went, and what the face under the bronze mask looks like.

They couldn't find the sword ghost, so their eyes naturally moved to Qinghongjian.

Qinghongjian is a powerful swordsman, not only stronger than her younger brother Taishanjian, but also stronger than many people before her in the ranking of swordsmanship, but even so, all heroes in the world have no choice but to treat her underestimate.

The reason is very simple, Qinghongjian is a woman.

This identity alone is enough for everyone to focus their attention firmly on her.

Not to mention that she was going to fight another swordsman with weird skills.

All the swordsmen talked about it, most of them were not as strong as Qinghongjian, and it was precisely because of this that they liked to gossip. The swordsmen who can really have a place in the sword manual are much stronger than these people in heart, and they are not They will look at Qinghongjian with malicious eyes, because they all know that this woman's strength is not only good, but also very good.

At least worthy of her reputation.

Those who would really point fingers at her were mobs who not only liked to judge others maliciously, but also had other small thoughts.

For example, relying on martial arts cheats to become a master, this kind of daydream can only be done by these people.

"I didn't expect that she would really have the courage to come."

"After all, he is a swordsman who ranks very high in the sword manual. If he doesn't come, he won't be able to justify it."

"But her strength is obviously not comparable to Sword Demon."

"How many people in this world can compare to Sword Demon?"

long silence.

That's right, as long as you have watched the battle of Sword Demon, you will know that he is not on the same level as ordinary swordsmen.

Many people have seen the battle between Sword Ghost and Taishan Sword. Although their strength is not better than Taishan Sword, they are not much worse than him, so in the battle between the two, they can feel the powerlessness and fear of Taishan Sword.

That sword ghost was completely playing with the Mount Tai sword in applause. Some people rumored that his strength might have reached the realm of Ye Gucheng Ximen Chuuxue.

He is so strong, why should he challenge those little swordsmen?

The real strong will never do this.

But if someone like Ximen Chuuxue woke up to such a thing, people in the Jianghu might still have some criticisms, because Ximen Chuixue is already a famous master in the Jianghu.

But the sword ghost is different, his whereabouts are strange, although the strength is considered high by those who have seen it, but after all, he has never fought against a stronger swordsman.

So his reputation in the world is still at the point where he can challenge the masters of the sword book at will.

No one can stop him, just as no one can stop him from challenging other people.

That's why the swordsman is silent.

After a long silence, someone said: "But the strength of Sword Demon is really very strong."

"Yes."

"There are rumors that he has even reached the level of Ximen Chuuxue."

"Don't talk nonsense, how many people are like Ximen Chuuxue in this world."

"But he killed Taishan Sword, as if an adult strangled a child."

"That's right, Taishan Sword has no power to resist."

"I think it's the same when he killed Qinghongjian."

"Yes."

"That woman has no ability to parry."

"If she really didn't come, it would be excusable."

"But she came anyway."

"She came to die."

"Many swordsmen in this world like to die."

"Because these people value their pride more than their lives."

"Is this the pride of a swordsman?"

"This is the pride of a swordsman."

"So, it's a dead end."

"Yes."

"Since it's a dead end, why are there so many people watching?"

"Because what they want to see is not Qinghong Sword, but Sword Demon."

"What is there to see about Sword Demon?"

"There are many."

"for example?"

"His swordsmanship, his skill, and more importantly, his secret."

"The secret of the sword ghost, everyone in Jianghu seems to have heard of it."

"Treasure Map?"

"It's the treasure map."

"Could the secret he said be related to the treasure map?"

"pretty close."

"What do you think he will do?"

"Perhaps he will publish the treasure map?"

"If he did that, we didn't get here in vain."

"Are you interested in treasure maps?"

"Do you dare to say that you are not interested in treasure maps?"

"More than half of the people in Yingtian are here for the treasure map."

"Everyone wants treasures, and everyone wants cheats."

"So the most important thing is not the battle between Sword Demon and Qinghongjian, but the secret after their battle."

"If the treasure map really reappears in the rivers and lakes, I'm afraid it will cause a bloody storm."

"A lot of people are ready."

"Yes."

Many people were staring at Qinghongjian.

From the time she entered the city gate to staying at the inn, those realizations not only did not decrease, but became more intensive.

They looked at her as if they were looking at a person who must die, there was sympathy in those eyes, and some inquiry, but Qing Hongjian knew that everyone had already regarded her as a dead person.

When one person says that Sword Demon's strength is similar to that of Ximen Chuuxue, countless other people will know, because people in Jianghu are also headline parties, and they only like to hear what they want to know, or the coolest.

A swordsman as strong as Ximen Chuuxue appeared in the sky, which could arouse their curiosity to the greatest extent.

Qinghong Sword is a victim of curiosity.

It should be said that everyone in the sword manual is a victim, but she will attract more people's malice.

When the sword manual was published, many people were very angry when they saw Zhang Wanrou's name.

They thought that their strength would definitely not be inferior to her.

Doesn't Zhang Wanrou know it herself?She knew it, so she closed the doors and windows when she arrived at the inn to isolate herself from the malicious sight of the outside world.

She is strong and indifferent to these eyes, because none of them can hurt her.

Walking on the rivers and lakes, how can you not have a heart made of steel?

She still has a lot of things to do, she wants revenge, she wants to kill that sword ghost, no matter what means she uses.

So of course she has no extra energy to distribute to others.

Zhang Wanrou is very confident now, even if she dies, she will definitely not die now.

Because she has already got the help of Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuuxue.

There was a slight sound next to her ear, Zhang Wanrou suddenly turned her head and said, "Who!"

Lan Feng suddenly appeared from nowhere, dressed in white, looked at Zhang Wanju with a cold face and said: "I am ordered by the city lord to protect Miss Zhang."

She even chose a maid to protect her, which is very considerate.

Seeing Lan Feng made her feel more at ease.

She even wanted to show a smile.

Because Zhang Wanrou knew that she did not make a wrong decision.

The little emperor is very busy every day.

He is based on the idea of ​​loving the people like a son, and he has the right to speak, so there are countless memorials waiting for him to correct every day.

Especially now that the end of the year was approaching, the more things he needed to do at this time.

If it is in other organizations, the immediate superior will have many people to help share the work, but he is the emperor, who can help the emperor share the work?

There must be none.

But at this juncture, besides the memorial, there are many other things bothering him.

The pen in the little emperor's hand paused and said: "Is the person gone?"

Antou knelt on the ground, the fear that could not be concealed in his voice.

He said: "The subordinate is incompetent."

The little emperor said: "The person is gone, does that mean he is dead?"

He couldn't allow such vague words to exist.

The detective said: "The waiter who helped Jin Jiuling died, but he is missing."

The spies didn't even dare to use their own subjective judgments to fool them. The emperor doesn't need them to judge, he just needs them to tell them everything.

They don't have to do anything, because the emperor will judge for himself.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, the little emperor did not speak.

He completely put down the ink brush and closed his eyes, as if closing his eyes to rest his mind.

What was he thinking about?

The little emperor said: "Let's put aside the matter of Jin Jiuling for now."

Even if the spy doesn't want to let it go, even if the person is gone, what else can be done.

But the little emperor's next words made his heart tighten.

The new question raised by the little emperor seems to have nothing to do with the previous question.

He said: "Nanwang, are you in the capital?"

As the emperor's spy, he knows everything.

He said: "Yes."

The little emperor said again: "Where is the son of the Southern Prince?"

The spy said: "In the feudal land."

The little emperor smiled inexplicably: "Floral land?"

laugh out loud.

The spy was startled by his laughter, and wanted to lower his head to the ground.

It took a while to hear the little emperor sigh speciously: "Everyone here is bold."

Who is he referring to?Is it Jin Jiuling, is it Nanwang, is it the son of Nanwang, or is it him?

The spy didn't want to be the last at all. He was just a subordinate of the emperor, and he was diligent and diligent, and he didn't do anything.

He scolded Jin Jiuling and Nan Wang again in his heart, no matter who among them angered the emperor, they were too courageous.

These people usually can't see Tianyan, but he can see it. They have done too many dirty things for the little emperor. No one knows better than him what a terrible person the emperor is.

Oh, I forgot one person, Wei Ziyun might know.

Thinking about this secretly, he couldn't help but feel a tear of sympathy for Wei Ziyun, even though they are brothers and sisters, no one has a better life than the other.

He had a lot of wild thoughts in his mind, and finally heard the voice of the emperor, it was like hearing the sound of heaven.

The little emperor said: "Just go and keep an eye on King Nan, don't let him find out."

Secretly probed and said: "Yes!"

Excited, can he go?

The little emperor said again: "There is one more thing."

The spy was in good spirits again.

The little emperor said: "Is there any news about City Lord Ye recently?"

Dark Probe smiled wryly.

He said: "The whereabouts of Lord Ye are a mystery, and his subordinates don't know."

Sure enough, the next second, the little emperor's voice became as cold as the north wind.

He said: "Useless things!"

It is also very wronged.
