Chapter 159 Exogenous Branches
Was Xia Yan late? By the time he rushed to the Rouge Pavilion, the building was already empty, the gate was locked tightly, and there was still a seal used by the government on it.

"Hey, how pitiful, I heard that this place was burglarized yesterday, and even those big girls were taken away..." Some people gathered in front of the door of the Rouge Pavilion, and the discussion was full of enthusiasm.

"Isn't that right, those girls are all eloquent, and they look like flowers. A few girls guard a shop, no wonder they attract thieves." Unfortunately, the man analyzed the reason.If there is a man in charge of this shop, he will definitely not be robbed!After all, this was the first time this had happened in the town.

Xia Yan walked over in a hurry, it seemed that these people knew about the theft of the Rouge Pavilion, and maybe they could ask something else. "Uncle, do you know where the family members of these missing women have gone? Didn't they come to the Rouge Pavilion early this morning? Why is the Rouge Pavilion sealed off and their families have not been seen?"

An insider knew everything and said: "The officials from the government have come, and after checking it, they sealed it with a seal because they were afraid that others would go in and destroy the scene. The families with missing daughters all went to Huangshi Town, the nearest town to us. It is said that I heard someone say that when I got up to go to the latrine yesterday, I saw a carriage going in that direction..."

The man was still chattering, but Xia Yan didn't have the patience to listen any longer. He thanked the man and went to his Rong'an Hall.I borrowed a few servants from my family, each rode on a horse, and before I had time to explain clearly to my father, I went to Huangshi Town without stopping.

When they arrived at Huangshi Town, Xia Yan instructed these boys to inquire with others separately, but as a result of the inquiries, these people didn't know what to ask.This Qingcheng is not too far away from Huangshi Town, even if you travel in the middle of the night, no matter what you say, you will arrive at Huangshi Town when the day is dim and bright.Then when they arrived in Huangshi Town, few people on the street saw them at all.Looking at this bustling market town, Xia Yan's heart kept sinking, which direction should he go, the sky and the earth are big, where would he go to find Qiulin?There has never been anything that made him so impatient, made him furious, made him so worried, made his heart full of anxiety...

"Master, let's look for it now. These people have never seen the girls described by the younger ones. Let's not look for it?" The young master didn't know what was going on. Tell the master to go to the village to open a pharmacy to diagnose people's pulse, and it's hard to come back once, and they are actually asked to come to Huangshi Town to find someone.But after asking, these people have never met the few people the young master mentioned.I really don't know what the young master is doing outside.But they shouldn't care about the affairs of the master's house.All they can do is obey.

Just give up like this, of course Xia Yan will not compromise!Xia Yan stared at the person who spoke, and almost hit him on the head with a chestnut! "Speaking of frustration, how could you just give up like this! I think this town has divided into two roads, so let's divide our troops into two roads! Laifu and Laicai are on the same road, and Lailu is on the road with me. That's it, hurry up and find someone Whether you can find someone or not, meet at Huangshi Town before dark!" After Xia Yan finished speaking, he patted the horse with a whip, and the horse was hurting, and "tata" went to the road he pointed out just now.Seeing that his young master had distanced himself from him, Lai Lu quickly regained his composure, patted the horse's back, and caught up with the horse's belly.

Lai Fu Laicai looked at each other, their faces collapsed, but they had no choice but to resign themselves to their fate and get on their horses and headed towards the other road that the young master pointed out just now.

Xia Yan whipped the horse, and soon left Huangshi Town.After leaving Huangshi Town, it became more and more desolate, with tender green wormwood growing beside the road, and some of those wormwood were cut off in the middle, obviously the traces left by someone passing by.There were also deep ruts left by the wheels on the muddy ground. Seeing these clues, Xia Yan became more and more sure that the gang of thieves passed through here.This place is deserted, and there should be few people passing by at ordinary times, and judging from the place where the wormwood was broken, the broken place has not yet turned black, which means it is newly broken.The car marks on this road are also new, it seems that the carriage has passed here not too long ago.Now hurry up and catch up, maybe you can still catch up!

After checking, Xia Yan hurriedly got on the horse again, grabbed the horse's belly, firmly grasped the rein with one hand, waved the long whip with the other, and rushed forward like flying.Seeing the young master stop, Lai Lu thought he could rest for a while, but saw that he got on the horse quickly, this time, the whip was whipping more frequently than before.The horse ran wildly and quickly.Lai Lu took a deep breath, and had no choice but to slash his whip at the horse, and chased after him.

The gangster in this car ran forward with the cart, but after running all night, the horse was already very tired, even if the whip came whip after whip, it couldn't run as fast as before.The speed slowly slowed down.In order to catch up with those gangsters as soon as possible, Murong Yunfan simply untied the thick rope tied to the horse's back, let Xiao'er wait for him at the same place, and rushed up alone.Now the horse broke free from the restraints of the carriage, and ran more vigorously on the road, and the speed was picked up in a flash.Murong Yunfan has learned a little bit of martial arts, even if he pursues him single-handedly, he doesn't feel the slightest bit afraid.

Murong Yunfan chased with all his firepower, and soon caught up with the old horse that was almost choking.Murong Yunfan caught up with the carriage, and directly swung the whip that was tightly held in his hand towards the middle-aged man driving!

Originally, the short-bearded man who was driving could only hear the sound of horseshoes coming from the back of the carriage. He looked back and saw a fast horse coming at a high speed.The short-bearded man expected the man to evade their carriage, and didn't care much.Who knew that before the single-handed horse approached their carriage, a whip was drawn first.The short-bearded man was caught off guard, and was whipped to the arm, and immediately grinned in pain.

The exhausted horse was frightened, and with a long hiss, it lowered its front hooves, turned around in place, and soon foamed at the mouth, and fell straight to the ground.His thin body twitched twice, and then remained motionless.Seeing this, the short-bearded man ignored his injured arm, and almost jumped off the carriage when he said it.The bearded man and the man with the scar in the carriage saw that the situation was not good, and they broke out from the window of the carriage. His muscular body rolled on the ground and stood up as if nothing had happened. The Murong Yunfan who came, his eyes flashed, and there seemed to be a deep hatred that could not be shared.

These able-bodied men were unscathed, but those girls whose feet were bound were not so lucky.The carriage tilted forward, and these girls also lost their center of gravity and rolled out of the carriage, falling to the side of the road in disarray.The poor man's mouth was still stuffed with a rag, and he slammed on the ground, unable to utter a single groan!
Murong Yunfan quickly looked at the girls who rolled down from the car, who was it not Qiulin who fell on the side of the road?Seeing this girl in such a mess, he really wanted to make fun of her.

Seeing this situation, the bearded man and the scarred man wished they could kill the troublemaker Murong Yunfan! "Dare to ask which road this little brother is on. We brothers and you are not in trouble with the little brother, right? Why do we face each other with swords when we meet?" Originally, I wanted to go back early and hand these girls over to Hua. Mother-in-law, she didn't think that something unexpected happened, and this kind of thing happened.Since this person dared to come forward to challenge alone, he must have some ability!

"Brother, why are you talking so much nonsense with him! This person lashed at me without asking 21. Obviously, we can't solve it with just a few words. He is alone, and the three of us are afraid. He can't do it!" Hearing the boss's polite tone to the visitor, the youngest with a short beard, who had been whipped by the visitor, immediately clenched his fists and stretched out his hand to his trouser leg to reach for the dagger.

Murong Yunfan stared coldly at this gangster who insisted on his own words, and said coldly: "In broad daylight, you actually kidnapped women. It is really a heinous crime. Today, my son will beat you so hard that you will find your teeth all over the place. Send them to the government for strict punishment!" These people seem to be Lianjiazi, and they seem to specialize in the business of abducting and selling women and children!
The bearded man was so angry that he felt the dagger hidden in the boots, his eyes were cold like a poisonous snake, "If you don't go to heaven, if you don't go to hell, then don't blame the sword for being ruthless. Look!" Knife!" After the bearded man finished speaking, he picked up the dagger and stabbed towards Murong Yunfan.

Seeing this, the other two, not to be outdone, took out their daggers and stabbed at Murong Yunfan fiercely.Surrounded by three big men, Murong Yunfan was not afraid at all.He waved the long whip in his hand, and the bearded face that rushed forward immediately showed a bloodstain from the whip, extending from the bridge of the nose to the right cheek.The beard was so painful that he immediately took two steps back, endured the pain and touched his cheek that was numb from the pain, his finger was a shocking blood red.

The bearded man was so angry that he only hopped, picked up the dagger and came towards Murong Yunfan again.This time, he stared closely at the long whip in Murong Yunfan's hand, so as not to underestimate the enemy as before and cause injury.

Murong Yunfan whipped a whip so loudly that the three big men were holding daggers and did not dare to approach at all.The big men felt that the whip came again in the blink of an eye, and before they could dodge, they were already beaten to pieces by the whip, and they all rolled on the ground hugging the pain and crying for their parents.

Only then did Murong Yunfan jump off the horse.Looking coldly at these crying fathers and mothers, he sneered and said, "I thought you were capable, but you are just three-legged cats. You dare to do such tricky things, save yourself!"
