lethal arsenal

Chapter 526 Yan Chixia

"The case began in mid-April this year. In a wine shop in the north of the city, the shopkeeper Liu Daquan was drowned in a wine tank. At the beginning of the case, we thought it was an accident, but during the autopsy, we found that Liu Daquan's heart was Gone."

"A week after the incident, Zhang Ergou, a small worker at a flour shop in the south of the city, died of overeating. He swallowed more than a hundred kilograms of flour and burst his belly. The strange thing is that when he was examined, he also had no heart and liver."

"The whole city is loose on the outside and tight on the inside. There has been no incident for half a month. But seven days ago, one of my stewards died at home. The cause of death was that his heart was removed."

"Coupled with tonight's incident, the situation has gotten out of hand. The thief is attacking more and more frequently, endangering everyone in the city. These victims are old, weak, high or low, and they are extraordinary. In addition, the poachers are Such shocking behavior, that woman must have been transformed by a demon."

Lady in charge, Sun Erniang said firmly.

"When was the last time you fought with that woman?"

Lin Dong rubbed his chin and asked suddenly.

"It was at the beginning of May. My wife and I laid a trap, ordered people to go out at night, and ordered several batches of inspection troops to set up a trap. As expected, we saw the heart-eating demon. Unfortunately, the thieves were very powerful. It was foggy again that night and she escaped."

"And today, I'm waiting to get the news..."

"Two hundred taels."

"Who gave the news?"

"Before leaving, Empress Yuechi said that those who can capture the criminal will be rewarded with two hundred taels of gold. The rest will also be rewarded according to their merits. It all depends on whether you can get this incredible wealth. You're on your own."

Sun Erniang introduced to everyone.

"This is Capt. Xing, who is also responsible for arrests. Then Zhu Zhong is his disciple."

This guy is as shameless as ever.

"It should be him."

At this moment, a weak voice sounded.

The frail scholar Bai Jun said two good words in a row, and was the first to express his stance. He cupped his hands and said, "Don't you dare to die for the empress."

Yiye Zhiqiu even beat his chest and said to everyone: "You all should disperse, this monster will be captured by me. You are wasting your time here."

"Lady in charge, let me ask on behalf of everyone present, after all, this is a life-and-death business. How much is the so-called bounty?"

"Two hundred taels of gold?"

The purchasing power of two hundred taels is quite different, and he can buy a decent house in the city.

At this moment, Sun Erniang said in a more serious voice.

"What an unlucky guy. However, he can be killed even if he uses magic. I think that the female devil is also very lucky."

"well."

The body is cold and cold, the young master whose heart was taken away.

Yiye Zhiqiu still looked unconcerned. He took off the sword on his back with one hand and patted the door panel lightly.

Lin Dong suddenly interrupted again. If nothing else happened, he and Yin Ling'er should be the first to arrive. Then, who would be the one who sent the news about the dead person to the officer?

The person Capt. Xing refers to is the dead man being carried on a stretcher by several constables behind him.

As soon as the word "gold" came out, the breathing of everyone present became heavy.

Sun Erniang was talking about this matter.

The bearded Taoist stroked his beard and said with some satisfaction: "Two hundred taels doesn't sound bad. It's enough to keep the Sa family occupied for several days."

As the saying goes, wine, sex, and money move people's hearts. Only with money can a group of chivalrous people be motivated.

The young butcher, who was carrying a butcher's knife, had his brows furrowed and his expression was extremely serious.

If two hundred taels of silver is a nice house, then if the unit of measurement is gold, its purchasing power is half a street, or a luxurious garden.

As soon as Yiye Zhiqiu said these words, the eyes of everyone present lit up.

Seeing the heated atmosphere, Sun Erniang said with a smile.

The other people looked at each other, obviously a little moved.

"Yes, we will definitely catch this monster."

"You're just a female temptress."

Xing Baotou slowly stretched out two fingers.

As Xing Baotou let out a sad sigh, Lin Dong and others gradually understood what happened. In short, they could not escape the lesson of being pecked.

The young man carrying the butcher knife rubbed his hands and said, his eyes showing unspeakable excitement.

Lin Dong and Yin Ling'er turned around and saw an old catcher weakly raising his hand.

"The young master who was killed was originally surnamed Qi, and his name was Qi Guinong. He also had the unique skill of tracking people down. He originally set up a trap with his own body, but he didn't expect... Alas!"

The people present also looked at each other, and then all looked at Sun Erniang.

"gold!!"

One tael of gold and at least a dozen taels of silver. In addition, the gold circulation rate in the city is extremely low. Sometimes it is possible to increase it several times.

Just hearing it in people's ears makes it difficult to calm down. Every face in the room turned red and the atmosphere became intense.

Lin Dong frowned slightly, but felt a little strange.

"If I remember correctly, Wang Sheng is the city lord. Why, the entire Suolong City looks like it is headed by Queen Yuechi?"

"Could it be that Wang Sheng has been seized of power a long time ago? Then I have to remind him..."

Lin Dong's second soul had mixed thoughts and waved towards Yin Ling'er.

"let's go."

After saying that, Lin Dong's second soul was about to leave the mansion, and he could already feel that he was getting closer and closer to Suolong City.

"Hey, you two, please wait a moment."

At this time, the housekeeper's wife and Sun Erniang spoke again.

"how?"

The second soul wearing a fox mask asked.

"I just received news that the city lord is on his way back to his hometown. You may wish to welcome our city lord with me."

Sun Erniang asked.

"No."

Some people waved their hands and retorted, this is Yiye Zhiqiu, he never likes to play a lackey in other people's scenes.

Isn't it just that greeting people and so on lowers one's status for no reason?

"I can see it."

This is what Lin Dong's second soul said.

It is convenient for him and me to do things one in the light and the other in the dark. The two of them get together. To be honest, it is quite interesting.

As for whether people will notice it, is it true that the white fox mask was worn in vain?
……

Tapping.

Before entering the city, there was the sound of horse hooves.

Outside Suolong City, more than a hundred elite horses came to greet them, including newly recruited strangers.

Yiye Zhiqiu and others stood on the wall and watched from a distance, and from time to time they could hear someone whispering secretly.

"I heard that the city lord brought a whole battalion of people out this time. Why..."

After swallowing his words halfway, the handsome scholar shook his fan and said no more.

"Yes, we obviously won the battle, but in the end, only a few people came back. Isn't it strange?"

The boy holding the butcher knife replied without any thought.

The bearded Taoist looked at the army below and gave a cold chuckle.

Coming from a distance, Lin Dong, who was riding on a tall horse, relaxed the reins of the horse in his hands.

He looked at the soldiers and people with different expressions on both sides of the city, feeling quite helpless.

According to Lin Dong's wishes, since this expedition failed, he shouldn't make any public announcements.

In the end, Xiaonizi Fu Yuechi still made the welcome ceremony a success.

"Whether the war will be good or bad is not ours to say." The young general Fu Yuechi said to Lin Dong.

"What about the people who died?"

Lin Dong asked back.

"Just think of them as sacrificing themselves for Locking Dragon City."

Fu Yuechi said indifferently, looking at Lin Dong's expression of confusion, and then said another sentence, "You are the city lord, good or bad, among all the people in the Hundred Thousand Mountains who are trying to make a living, who dares not to listen to you?"

"it's not good?"

Lin Dong felt helpless.

"Is it really bad?"

Fu Yuechi asked back.

So this matter was done as the Yuechi Empress said, and she announced to the outside world that this expedition was not only a victory, but also a great victory.

Wang Sheng's city lord's palace is in the northeast corner of Suolong City.

It is built on mountains and rivers, covering an area of ​​more than 300 acres. It is unparalleled in the city. It is modeled after the royal palace. There are two huge white jade lion statues at the door.

Under the lion's feet is a black dragon carved from ink stone, which looks majestic and domineering.

On the outside of the mansion, the ground was paved with bluestones and weeping willows were planted on both sides. A group of hundreds of horsemen greeted them without dismounting, shouting that the Empress Yuechi was a thousand years old and the city lord was a thousand years old. They waited until they reached the plaque with the word "Prince's Mansion" hanging on it, and then under Fu Yuechi's order Disperse slowly.

During most of the welcoming ceremony, Lin Dong had a cold face.

"General."

After the gate of the mansion opened, several maids dressed in green and pretty face stood on both sides to greet them.

Strictly speaking, Wang Sheng is the only one left in the main branch of the Wang family.

In other words, the person who wants the king most to live or die must be the one who can benefit the most.

It may be a descendant of the branch, or it may be...

Lin Dong glanced at Fu Yuechi beside him.

"City Lord, are you injured?"

When a little maid came forward to tidy up Lin Dong's clothes, she saw the cracks in his armor and asked.

"nothing."

Lin Dong waved his hand.

"You guys go down first. It's my wife who will arrange the city lord's clothes for him. They are a couple who are deeply in love, and they have a lot to talk about right now."

Sun Erniang appeared on the side of the door and knocked lightly.

The two little maids, who wanted to show off their charm, bowed Yingying and left with their thin waists swaying in the wind.

Sun Erniang stared at the two girls with a gleam of hatred in her eyes.

"Why haven't you seen her before? Is she a new girl?"

Fu Yuechi had a calm expression on his face, and there was a touch of teasing in his words.

"It's not the city lord's clan uncle who sent them here. I kindly left them in the front yard. I didn't expect them to be so ignorant of the rules. Madam, I'll train them now."

Sun Erniang gave Lin Dong a thousand blessings, first said that she had met the city lord, and then replied to Fu Yuechi.

"Okay, it's not a big deal."

Fu Yuechi showed a generous smile.

"You go and do your work first. Prepare the banquet slowly. I'll talk to the general for a while first."

After Fu Yuechi finished giving instructions to the housekeeper, he stepped forward and grabbed Lin Dong's arm, saying softly: "General, let me remove your armor first."

At first glance, I knew that this so-called Wang family's mansion was very big, but when I actually entered, I realized that I had underestimated it.

There are no less than twenty or thirty places in the courtyard alone, and there are countless corridors in the buildings. The courtyard is built with water pavilions and singing platforms, painted pillars and carved beams.

There are traces of magic and Taoism in the many pavilions, which can be said to be quite impressive.

only……

Lin Dong didn't have the slightest impression of this place. After passing through the corridor and entering a house, Fu Yuechi slowly let go of Lin Dong's arm. Unfortunately, his arm was not resting on Wen Rouxiang, but instead was pressed against the cold iron armor. There is nothing charming or glamorous at all.

If I must mention one thing, this girl probably smells pretty good, with a faint orchid fragrance, probably because she has been rubbed with some special gouache.

"Brother Sheng, have you really lost your memory?"

After entering the house, Lin Dong sat down. After Fu Yuechi took off his armor, he served him a cup of hot tea without taking off his own armor. Then, the girl started questioning him.

Lin Dong didn't have Wang Sheng's memory, so he didn't know what the specific arrangements were made by King Fudo?

Naturally, I found myself a universal excuse for amnesia.

As for whether it will be exposed?
What he was pressing against now was Wang Sheng's face. Besides, "My Lin Dong's fist is so hard, so what if it breaks? I think I am Wang Sheng, so who dares to object?" With this in mind, Lin Dong just No worries.

He replied carelessly: "That's true." As he spoke, he twirled the thinly sliced ​​prosciutto on the silver plate on the coffee table. "It tastes pretty good."

After eating a piece of bacon and drinking half a bowl of hot tea, Lin Dong breathed a sigh of relief.

As for Ning Caichen and Ma Wencai, they were naturally taken care of by the doctors in the mansion.

Fu Yuechi glanced at Lin Dong's movements without leaving a trace, "Brother Sheng is indeed very different from before." As he spoke, Fu Yuechi's delicate hands reached towards the big sword Lin Dong put aside.

"Hey. Little lady, what are you doing?"

Lin Dong spoke out to stop her, and grabbed her slender white wrist with his big hand. Although his voice was soft, there was a trace of murderous evil hidden in his words.

Fu Yuechi was subconsciously shocked.

"I always feel like Brother Sheng is a different person."

Fu Yuechi said.

"..."

Lin Dong said nothing.

Fu Yuechi tried to pull out her wrist, but under the huge force, she couldn't break free.

call.

The tea soup was swaying gently in the room, and a cold wind blew by, lifting the green hair beside Fu Yuechi's ears.

"Do not you trust me?"

Lin Dong said with a serious face and paused in his voice.

"I have indeed lost my memory, but Ning Caichen or Ma Wencai, who can't prove my identity? Besides, what do you need to do to be willing to trust me?"

"Brother Sheng, my hand hurts."

Fu Yuechi bit his lip.

Lin Dong then slowly let go of his broad palm.

"If your hand hurts, take a good rest. You are tired today. Although it is early now, you should go and rest, or..."

His voice lengthened, and a smirk flashed across Lin Dong's face, "Let's rest together."

Fu Yuechi pursed his lips tightly and shook his head repeatedly.

Lin Dong ignored this little girl, picked up the tea soup and took a slow sip, mentally contacting the second soul.

……

"My two swords are about three feet long. They are not just steel-melted as they are called. They are forged by Fa Gang and tempered with heavenly fire. A few years ago, I fought and killed the most powerful demon in the sea of ​​blood. What a pity... Later, the two purple and green swords were defiled by the blood of the demon. Oh, it is such a pity. "

It was approaching noon, and the banquet to celebrate the city lord's return to the city had been served. As strangers hired by several city lords' mansions, people with beards and others were qualified to sit in the hall and eat. The Taoist priest with a round face and beards said that his name was Yan Chixia.

He was originally from outside and came here to find the sword.

Yan Chixia said that she had left her swords here.

As for the names of the two swords, Lin Dong's second spirit was surprised because one was called Qing Suo and the other was called Zi Ying.

But aren't the blue and purple swords the swords of the Xuantian Sect?
The treasure of Shushan was captured by the claws protruding from the galaxy.

Lin Dong's second soul, under the fox mask, his eyes were as sharp as frost knives, lingering on the face of the Taoist named Yan Chixia.

The thoughts in his mind were rolling like a tidal wave - what on earth is going on?
