Chapter 127 Case No.12, Cannibal Mountain
Driving to Tang Fu Tea House, there was lightning and thunder in the sky along the way. I felt like I had a lightning phobia. Every time I started to flash, I would subconsciously step on the clutch and brake, for fear that I would be hit by lightning .

Fortunately, on this rainy day, there are not many cars on the road, otherwise I will definitely be rear-ended.

After a while we arrived at Tang Fu Tea House. As soon as the car stopped, Tang Xian came to pick us up with an umbrella. After taking us upstairs, we found Zhang Rui and Tang Qing sitting next to a tea table.

Seeing me and Nangong Qiang going upstairs, Zhang Rui greeted me with a smile: "Chen Yu, I haven't seen you for a few days, and your strength has improved a lot. According to your current progress speed, you won't be able to reach the end of this year. I am afraid that we will be able to open the Heavenly Master Altar and break the Heavenly Master's qualifications."

Tang Qing also said beside him: "That's true, Daoyou Chen is making progress really fast!"

I bowed my hands to the two people, and then asked directly: "What's the news, what happened to Mai Xiaorou in the upper world?"

I was a little anxious and couldn't control my voice, and the voice of shouting was a little loud.

Fortunately, there are no other guests in this teahouse, and it will not attract anyone's attention. Zhang Rui asked me to sit down first, and then said to me: "Chen Yu, don't worry, although we have news about Mai Xiaorou, we can But it’s just a very simple message, don’t be disappointed after you hear it.”

I asked Zhang Rui to speak quickly, and he said, "It's a senior of the Tang family in the Upper Realm. When he was going to work in a place in the Upper Realm, he saw someone pushing Mai Xiaorou passing by, and he tried to follow, but Reluctantly followed half of it and lost it.”

After finishing speaking, Zhang Rui fell silent.

I looked at Zhang Rui and asked, "That's all?"

Zhang Rui said: "Yes!"

I was very disappointed in my heart, and Nangong Xiong sneered from the side, as if mocking me for getting such a little bit of useless news when I came over in a hurry.

Her sneer made me feel uncomfortable, so I gave her a look, but she didn't take me seriously, she just stared at me and said, "Why are you staring at me, I didn't catch Mai Xiaorou!"

Sensing the smell of gunpowder between me and Nangong Yuzang, Zhang Rui immediately said: "It's my fault, I shouldn't have tricked Fellow Daoist Chen with such meaningless news!"

I took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in my heart. It would be useless for me to be angry with Nangong Yuzhang now, but it would make myself even more unhappy, because with my strength, it would be considered a fight with Nangong Yuzhang. If they fight, they will be beaten violently by her.

After adjusting my breath, I said to Zhang Rui: "In any case, there is news about Xiaorou. At least I know she was just arrested and nothing else happened for now."

Zhang Rui also said to me: "Those people spent many twists and turns to catch her to the upper realm, they definitely didn't intend to kill her, so Fellow Daoist Mai is not in danger of his life yet!"

I also nodded.

At this time, Nangong Xiong wanted to open his mouth to hurt me again, but Tang Qing stopped him and said, "Daoist Nangong, you have some connections with the Godeye Clan in the upper realm, can't you help Chen Yu check the news about Mai Xiaorou? ?”

Nangong Xiong said: "So what if you help him find out, can he go to the upper realm to save people with his strength? If he can't, then what's the difference between checking and not checking, it's a waste of effort!"

Nangong Xizang's words always make people angry. I really want to slap her, but I don't have the strength. Besides, although her words are ugly, they are very reasonable. This is what makes me feel the most uncomfortable.

I didn't speak, and Nangong Xiong didn't say anything that made me uncomfortable, but picked up a cup of tea and walked towards the window of the teahouse.

The rain outside was crackling, and there was "rumbling" thunder from time to time, but it was in such a noisy environment that I suddenly felt that Nangong Yuzhang standing by the window was an extremely quiet painting.

Like a poem, like a song.

Probably because Nangong Xiong is too beautiful, and his back is too good-looking.

Zhang Rui continued to say to me: "Chen Yu, I'm here with you this time, and I have one more thing I want to discuss with you. Tang Qing and I have now lifted the ground restraint, and we can take on the case again later. So can you let us join you in your future case?"

I said: "If you want to follow, I have no objection."

It's too late for me to be happy that they can come as free helpers.

Zhang Rui continued: "Although Tang Qing and I are both on the [-]-star list this year, the rankings are not satisfactory. You are a newcomer trained by Brother Li Dao. If you can file a case with you, you will definitely be able to." Improve your ranking in the next selection!"

I felt sour all of a sudden, Zhang Rui and Tang Qing were grounded for such a long time, yet they were able to enter the Hundred Stars list, while I was only one hundred and one!

But thinking about it again, my strength is far behind Zhang Rui and Tang Qing, so I feel balanced.

Seeing that I didn't speak, Zhang Rui asked me again: "Why, do you have any difficulties?"

I said, "Since I have agreed, how can there be any difficulties? You are thinking too much."

After that, Zhang Rui stopped talking about Mai Xiaorou, the case, and the hundred-star list, but started to introduce spirit tea to me. I was not very interested in spirit tea. how much to live.

At this time, Nangong Yuzhang, who was drinking tea and enjoying the rain, suddenly said: "The tea is almost done. If there is nothing else, Chen Yu and I will go back first. It is a waste of time for you to talk nonsense here. , I might as well go back and practice more if I have this little time.”

Zhang Rui said with a smile: "Drinking spiritual tea can replenish qi, and it is also practice to a certain extent!"

Nangong Xiong sneered and said, "Have you ever seen that master drink tea? It's ridiculous!"

Nangong Xizang really didn't give anyone face, Zhang Rui could only smile wryly "hehe".

I also got up and said to Zhang Rui: "I will return the car to you, and Nangong Xiong and I will take a taxi back."

Zhang Rui quickly shook his head and said, "I said returning the car was just casual talk. Since you agreed to let me solve the case with you, then the car should be regarded as my reward."

I looked at Zhang Rui and said, "Your car is not cheap."

Zhang Rui smiled: "It's not as valuable as the chance you gave me."

Since he said that, I'm not being polite, anyway, I'm used to driving his car.

When we left Tang Fu Teahouse, Zhang Rui, Tang Xian and Tang Qing came out to see us off together, and the three of them returned to the teahouse after I drove away for a certain distance.

The rain outside began to gradually decrease, but my car was still not driving fast, Nangong Yulin asked me from the co-pilot: "Chen Yu, do you really want to know about Mai Xiaorou?"

I froze for a moment and said, yes.

Nangong Xiong said: "In a few days, when I return to the upper realm, I will ask people from our family to help you find out."

I asked Nangong Xunchang: "Didn't you say that Xiaorou cannot be saved with her current strength, and it would be useless to investigate?"

Nangong Xiong let out a "hum" and said, "Forget it!"

I froze for a moment, then slapped myself and said, "It's my mouth, don't worry about it, you'd better check it out for me."

Nangong Xun said: "It's too late, I've changed my mind!"

I……

Afterwards, I begged Nangong Jiechen several times, but she didn't give me any good words, so I didn't ask any more.

Just when the car was approaching the spring dawn on Cuidi, Li Guidao suddenly called, and I asked him if he had a No. 12 case.

He didn't talk about the case first, but instead joked with me: "When we separated, I was injured, so it's fine if you don't call me, but now I call you, you actually Ask about the case directly, and don't care about my injuries at all, it seems that I am not a friend in your mind!"

Hearing what Li Guidao said, I hurriedly said, "I didn't mean that..."

I really didn't mean that. I also regarded Li Guidao as a friend in my heart. The reason why I didn't ask about the injury was because I subconsciously felt that he was the disciple of the Lord of Spirits, and no matter what kind of injury he was, he would be healed. So It's not that worrying anymore.

Before I could finish speaking, Li Guidao said with a smile: "Okay, I've scared you, you guys set off now and come to the wreath shop in the county town, your case No. 12 has been settled."

I asked Li Guidao what the case was, and he told me to go there first, so I told Li Guidao about Zhang Rui and Tang Qing's case with me, and asked him if it was okay.

He said: "I don't care about the personnel arrangement. I just assign tasks to you. Whoever you can hire depends on your ability."

After I hung up the phone, I called Zhang Rui and asked him and Tang Qing to clean up and prepare to go to the case with me.

When we arrived at Tang Fu Tea House, Zhang Rui and Tang Qing had already packed up and waited for me downstairs. After picking them up and getting into the car, Zhang Rui asked, "Is there a case when you left?"

I said, yes.

Zhang Rui asked me about the details of the case, and I said that I would know it when I got to the county seat.

Zhang Rui and Tang Qing kept talking along the way, while Nangong Xiong and I basically didn't say much. Of course, what they both said was nonsense, and some even flirted.

When they arrived at the county seat, Zhang Rui and Tang Qing saluted Li Guidao together.

Li Guidao led us to the reception room and said to us: "After I have arranged this case for you, I will go back to Dragon City to prepare for the battle for Dao Zun, so after you finish this No. For the case, I will go to Chengdu to find one of my uncles, Cai Ying, and he will continue to arrange other cases for you."

Hearing the name Cai Ying, Zhang Rui and Tang Qing were immediately surprised: "But the actual person in power of the Southwest Bureau, Cai Ying, the prime minister of the Supernatural Lord?"

Li Guidao said, "I'm just Uncle Cai!"

I am curious to ask what is the appearance?
Zhang Rui explained: "Cai Ying, senior Cai is the number one think tank of Lord Shengzun, and he made great contributions when Shengzun was in charge of the Southwest Branch Bureau!"

Think Tank!

I'm somewhat resistant to dealing with people who are too smart.

Li Guidao continued: "Let me tell you about your No. 12 case first. This case is called Cannibal Mountain!"
