After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 1116 What I saw and heard

As she screamed, He Lingchuan rushed towards her. Just as the Fu Sheng Dao flew back to its owner, He Lingchuan caught it with one hand and killed two people in a row.

The second person reacted quickly, rolling around to avoid the blade.

Before he could get up, He Lingchuan threw the gun with his backhand, and with a whoosh, his palm was pinned to the ground!

The robber was in pain but couldn't move away. Before he could scream, He Lingchuan turned the horse's head, and four hard horse hooves trampled over him!

The horse Jaga Lingchuan's weight deliberately slowed down and pedaled, and others heard a few crisp "clicks", like small firecrackers.

The spine, arms and legs were broken.

This time, the howl went straight up to the sky.

He Lingchuan then pulled out his spear and calmly chased the remaining bandits.

As soon as the robbers heard the sound of horse hooves, they saw three of their companions dead. They didn't have the heart to resist, so they shouted and ran away.

He Lingchuan pointed to a few figures from behind and said to Dong Rui: "Are you going to take care of these guys?"

"Okay, okay." The good job was out of his turn. Dong Rui shook his horse's reins angrily and went to catch up.

After a while, the screams from there became louder, more panicked, and longer-lasting, and they didn't stop until it was time to drink tea.

By the time the two returned to the forest, the blood on the tip of He Lingchuan's spear had finished dripping, and it was as clean as water. The green-skinned monkey on Dong Rui's shoulder had its mouth open and was picking its teeth.

Lingguang had already untied the people on the ground. When Jin Bai and others brought the child over, the woman rushed over and hugged her son, kowtowing to He Lingchuan and the others.

Everyone who was rescued saluted He Lingchuan and called him their benefactor.

He Lingchuan waved his hand: "If you don't take the main road, why go to this small road?"

"We just took the main road." The boy's father said with a bitter look on his face, "My wife was in distress and went to relieve herself in the forest, but she was robbed by bandits. We went in to rescue her, but we couldn't save ourselves."

Another person said: "We also hired a guard, but as soon as the guard entered the forest, he ran away and left us to the robbers."

Jin Bo asked: "Isn't this guard hired in a serious way?"

"They were hired at the market. I thought they were strong and strong, and they said they had been on the battlefield and fought..."

He Lingchuan understood that in a place like this, if you want to save a small amount of money, you will probably suffer a big loss.

He and the Shadowfang Guard are back on the road.

"Mr. He is also impatient and righteous."

He Lingchuan smiled: "The human heart is made of flesh."

There used to be sand bandits on Hongya Road in the Panlong Desert, but when He Chunhua became the county guard, he imposed strict restrictions. He only robbed money and materials but was not allowed to hurt anyone. Offenders were killed. After a few times, the surrounding gangsters became much more honest.

Otherwise, it would be fishing in a dry lake. How could anyone dare to take the Hongya Road in the future?

Unlike here, there is no law and official patrols are ineffective.

……

The hiccup on the road didn't waste much time. In the evening, the outline of Xuncheng, the capital of the Kingdom of Wei, appeared in everyone's sight.

Shadow Tooth Guard told He Lingchuan and the two of them: "Don't go to the fly restaurant here. It's easy to get upset. Several of us here have experience... Also, wandering around outside at night can easily cause trouble."

But neither He Lingchuan nor Dong Rui looked like people who were afraid of trouble, so Jin Bo didn't remind them to pay attention to their safety.

Everyone went straight to the city gate.

The Yangshan Islands have trade relations with the Gold Flash Plains. Several important ores are transported from the Gold Flash Plains to the archipelago by sea. They are indeed transited in the country of Wei and shipped at Julu Port, so He Lingchuan has a formal business in his hands. Logically speaking, getting in and out of the capital is not a problem.

Under the city gate, there was a bustle.

He Lingchuan thought there were too many people queuing up to pass the inspection, but when he got closer, he realized that there were only a few people passing the inspection at the city gate. Instead, the shack under the wall a dozen feet away was crowded with people!

The shacks here stretch for two miles, and the people who live here are civilians who have fled elsewhere. In terms of rags, they are as ragged as the beggars at the Julu Port Pier.

But they were all excited at this moment, stretching their heads and grabbing the broken bowls and pushing forward because someone was giving alms in front of them.

He Lingchuan never liked to go to crowded places. When he passed by, he only took a quick glance and saw several large cars parked in the open space in the middle of the shack. Some people were carrying thick-faced steamed buns from the cars, and some were in charge of distributing them. People lined up to come forward. Refugees can take two and leave after taking them.

The reason why the refugees were able to queue up honestly and did not rush to grab anything was because there were more than a hundred guards on the side with weapons in hand to maintain order. If they found anyone messing around, they would slap them twice.

There was a scrawny old man who was anxious. His hand shook and the bun fell to the ground.

Someone picked it up by the side, dusted the dust off the steamed bun, and handed it to him again.

The old man held the buns in his arms, bowed several times to the other party, and was about to retreat, but the man said, "You can eat on the side, and then leave after eating."

At the same time, Dong Rui also wowed.

This is actually a beauty surrounded by pearls and emeralds. The fox fur cloak hides her figure, but cannot hide her heavenly beauty.

The beauty of Songyang Mansion Master Li Qingge was bright and majestic, and Sun Fuling's beauty was gentle and elegant, but this woman's beauty was completely different from them, and different from all the beauties He Lingchuan had seen before.

It is a kind of fragile delicacy, like thin porcelain that a spotlight can shine through, like peach blossom jellyfish floating in spring water. While people carefully care for it in the palm of their hands, they also have an impulse to destroy it severely. It, crush it!

The woman was obviously busy distributing supplies and talking to the refugees, and didn't even look at passers-by, but all outsiders' eyes were only focused on her.

She used her cloak and hat to cover up half of her beauty, but it still shone brightly in the sunset.

This woman only needs to stand there, possessing her own contradictory and seductive magic power, and there is no need to show off.

He Lingchuan's first impression when he saw her was that a narcissus suddenly grew out of the muddy pond. It was tall and graceful and was incompatible with the surrounding environment.

Dong Rui also stared at her, in disbelief: "How can there be such a beauty in the country of Wei?"

See what it does and it doesn’t cost any money.

He Lingchuan said with a smile: "It's bleeding out, please wipe it off."

Dong Rui wiped it smoothly and found that there was nothing. He glared at He Lingchuan, but also looked away.

"They came from the palace." He Lingchuan nodded at the guards with his chin, "Have you seen these guards?"

If there is no one to guard her, this kind of beauty may not be able to walk a hundred feet on the streets of Fanguo.

But on the other hand, if she dared to appear in the refugee camp outside the city, she naturally had full confidence.

This disaster relief team is obviously headed by her.

He Lingchuan looked at the team distributing food and organizing the refugees to line up in an orderly manner, and knew that this was not the first time this beauty had done this.

People are kind-hearted, huh?

At this time, a caravan suddenly jumped in front and entered the city first. Other civilians and traveling merchants had to wait for a while.

He Lingchuan and others are not in a hurry, just wait in line.

After another two-quarters of an hour, it was their turn to clear the level.

He Lingchuan took out the documents and the road guide and handed them over. The city gate guard looked at them a few times: "A businessman, um, this is your first time here?"

"Yes."

"Then you don't know the rules." The guard pointed to the monkeys on their shoulders, "Family pets are not allowed in."

The word "rules" is emphasized.

The two of them had traveled countless places and had never heard of this rule.

Dong Rui retorted: "This is not a family pet, this is a demon companion."

"Then you can't enter!" The guard glanced at him and said seductively, "How can we let monsters invade this important place in the capital?"

Jin Bo and others came from behind, took out two broken pieces of silver, and stuffed them into the document:

"Actually, their demon companions are also registered on this road. They are innocent and harmless. Can you take a look?"

They've been here once or twice and know what's going on.

"Let me take a look." The guard took it and put the broken silver directly into his arms. "It's really there. Then you guys, go over there."

Although He Lingchuan and others were dressed in ordinary clothes, they were strong and their clothes were clean and unpatched. The city gate guards were very jealous. They could see at a glance that they were living a good life, so they expected to have money in their hands, so they would have to ask for it.

He Lingchuan had traveled all over the country for many years, and he had seen people asking for money, but he had never seen anyone asking for money so openly.

This is the south gate of the capital, right at the feet of Jun Jun!

How dare the soldiers guarding the city openly ask people for money?

Seeing that their leaders were all sitting at the back, they didn't even raise their eyebrows when they heard it.

This is a nest of snakes and rats.

After everyone cleared the customs and entered the city, they found a place to stay, which was called Rulin Inn.

Then, He Lingchuan and Dong Rui went to Xuncheng for a stroll.

The area of ​​Xuncheng is only half that of Yuandu, and the houses are more crowded. The advantage is that the living density seems to be higher, and it is not like Yuandu with ten rooms and three empty rooms.

After all, this is the capital city. There are all kinds of inns, restaurants, restaurants, teahouses, and even places for sensuality and horse racing on the main street. Business seems to be good, the buildings are brightly lit, and there are often people in luxurious clothes coming in and out.

When the wind blows, the woman's laughter and the fragrance of makeup are brought out. But as we walked towards the back of the main street, we only passed two streets, and it became dark on both sides of the road.

Few households had lights on, debris and garbage were everywhere, and the stench of defecation hung in the air.

The distance between the two streets is like two worlds separated.

Sometimes there would be a few people sitting at the intersection, burning paper money with their legs crossed in the middle of the road. No matter who passed by, their faces were expressionless.

A few pieces of paper money were blown to He Lingchuan's feet by the wind. He looked down and saw that there seemed to be a big-headed doll drawn on the paper money. His expression was distorted by the fire, and only his eyes, which were larger than almonds, were still glaring.

After passing a few houses burning paper money, He Lingchuan and the two took a shortcut back to the main street, intending to buy some cooked food and bring it to the inn for drinking.

After a few dozen breaths, the two of them passed an old locust tree, where someone was also burning paper money under the tree.

The two appeared and seemed to startle each other.

The men quickly grabbed the memorial tablets on the ground, threw them into the fire barrel, and cast a warning look at the two of them:

Don't mind your own business.

The memorial tablets were also made of white paper, and when the tongue of fire licked them, they burned to the ground.

However, He Lingchuan had good eyesight, and he could see clearly by the light of the fire. The tablet was half buried in ashes, but a few words were exposed:

...Master Mai’s spiritual throne.

Soon, Huo Miao swallowed up these words.

He Lingchuan was too lazy to look further, so he and Dong Rui continued along the alley, and soon returned to the main street.

People like him who love visiting fly restaurants did not dare to look for small shops after Jin Bo's advice. Instead, he walked into a braised vegetable stall with a clean and hygienic appearance, and ordered some chicken feet to try first. Then he pointed at the remaining braised vegetables and said:

"Wrap it up, we want them all."

There are seven or eight kinds of meat and vegetables here. In addition to braised goose, there are also chicken offal, smoked rabbit, smoked bamboo rat, and various small cold dishes. In terms of variety, it is far inferior to Sodin Island.

Before they came, the boss didn't sell much all afternoon and night, and almost fell asleep while lying on the chopping board. He was so happy when he heard this, he quickly got up and chopped meat into pieces for the generous guests.

He Lingchuan went to the wine shop next door and ordered a few jars of wine, put them all in the storage ring, and went home with Dong Rui.

\\\\\

The people in the capital all knew about the great joy of the royal family, because King Wei ordered a two-day celebration, and each person could receive two kilograms of grain, two taels of meat, half a kilogram of dates, and ten candies.

So during the day, Xuncheng is as lively as the Chinese New Year.

Several shacks were opened outside the city to provide food and porridge to beggars and homeless people. As expected, everyone was happy.

When you first arrive in a different place, the hardest thing to find is relationships. He Lingchuan asked Dong Rui to go to the land of fireworks to collect information. It would be best if any of the benefactors came from the palace or the home of a high-ranking official, so that they could place the eyeball spider.

All information must be collected bit by bit, and the key is to follow the clues one by one.

The key is to touch the right vine, and there will be melons behind.

But before Dong Rui took the money and set off, clues came to him first——

Ahao from Julu Port rushed to Xuncheng in a hurry.

Dong Rui glared: "Is there news so soon?"

He hasn't even had time to go out yet!

"Yes, yes." Ahao, who had been riding a horse all day, was covered in sweat. "I asked for the news that the two gentlemen wanted! I treated the two guards to a feast of feasting and drunkenness. I just asked..."

Dong Rui interrupted him: "Have you found out the origin of Ming Dengzhan?"

"No, no, there's no such thing. This can't be found out!" Ahao's head shook like a wave drum, "But there are new developments in the palace. Doctor Chen just received a reward not long ago, a huge reward! It's less than ten Let’s go to heaven.”

"Mr. Chen?"

"Ah, yes, the Imperial Medical Bureau has not been easy to work in the past two years. The imperial doctor even had his head chopped off by the king. I heard that it was all because of poor treatment that the second prince's condition worsened." Ahao licked his chapped lips, and He Lingchuan said He was handed a glass of water, which he picked up and drank in one gulp.

He has been poisoned by others, and there is no need for them to poison the water.

"Mr. Chen, who took over as the Chief Physician two months ago, was originally just an attendant, and no one thought highly of him. The guards in the palace even made bets on how long he could last. Unexpectedly, he unexpectedly recovered and the second prince's condition improved significantly. Ah Hao added, "I heard that Dr. Chen has become a celebrity in the palace recently and frequently visits the second prince's palace to see doctors. Two days ago, the king rewarded him with several delicacies and tributes in front of everyone. I really envy others.”

Dong Rui clicked his tongue twice: "If you are so powerful, why did you only work as a doctor before?"

Following these words, He Lingchuan asked: "Why was Imperial Physician Chen directly promoted from Attendant Physician to Chief Physician? Is there no other expert in the Imperial Physician Bureau?"

That's several levels of promotion.

"Ah..." These three questions in a row confused Ahao.

He would remember whatever the guards in the palace said. He really hadn't thought about these issues.

Yes, why did the attendant doctor suddenly become the chief of the Imperial Medical Bureau?

He Lingchuan looked at his confused expression and knew that he had no answer, so he turned to ask: "So, it is true that Mrs. Chen cured the second prince's madness?"

"It hasn't been announced yet. Once the second prince recovers, Imperial Physician Chen will become famous."

"Okay, great." He Lingchuan patted Ahao on the shoulder, "Can you find out where Doctor Chen lives?"

"Yes, that's great, please give me a day!"

Dong Rui threw him a pill: "Taking it will delay the poisoning for seven days."

While Ahao was swallowing the medicine, he suddenly heard He Lingchuan ask: "By the way, how is your accomplice? What about the tall guy?"

"Crack!" The pill got stuck in his throat. Ahao coughed a few times and drank a few more sips of water before he could recover.

"So excited? What happened to him?"

"It's okay, it's okay." Ahao waved his hand, "He didn't say anything when he woke up, he just cursed bad luck. It's not the first time he's encountered such a tricky idea."

"That's good." He Lingchuan said slowly, "I thought he wouldn't let you go, but it seems you settled it yourself."

The listener was interested, Ah Hao felt a chill in his heart. Looking at He Lingchuan's expression was calm, he didn't know whether the speaker was intentional.

He excused himself hastily.

After Ah Hao left, He Lingchuan asked Dong Rui: "Did you really cast a spell on him?"

Can this guy still use Gu?

"Of course!" Dong Rui said proudly, "I will do what I say."

He couldn't wait to go out. He had He Lingchuan's money in his arms and wanted to go out and spend some money.

Oh no, this is business, business!

The past few days have been tiring with traveling and traveling, and he, Mr. Dong, wants to relax and unwind.

The romantic places in Wudu are really prosperous. Which one should he go to?

With an attitude of seeking truth through research, Dong Rui planned to visit two more companies.

But as soon as he stepped out of the inn door, two people rushed past him and almost bumped into him.

I couldn't see his face clearly, but I just knew that he was running extremely fast and had some cultivation.

With a click, the two men disappeared into the alley diagonally behind them.

Are you running for your life in a hurry? Dong Rui cursed secretly.

People on the road didn't make any fuss, they all looked indifferent and kept doing whatever they were supposed to do.

But Dong Rui had only gone a dozen steps when more than thirty officials came out from the corner of the street, striding towards the place.

At first glance, it seems that he is here to chase someone.

Dong Rui finally understood why the two people just ran away.

He lowered his head and walked on his way. Unexpectedly, when these officials were about to run past him, the leader suddenly turned around and looked at him. Then he pointed out: "That's him!"

who? Say who?

Dong Rui saw that he was pointing at him, so he looked around, but there was no one around him.

He moved two steps to the left, and the other person's finger also moved over, still pointing straight at him.

The leader gave an order, and dozens of his men swarmed forward, their shackles clinking, and they came to take the man.

The ape lying on Dong Rui's shoulder squeaked twice and wanted to get off the ground.

Dong Rui covered it: "I can't do it."

The demon ape was causing trouble in Wedu, and he didn't want to cause trouble.

His body movements were extremely flexible, and two or three guards were thrown into the air.

Dong Rui shouted: "I am a visitor from out of town, you have mistaken me!"

The leader only said: "Kneel down! If you are not a fugitive, what are you afraid of?"

This is very reasonable, but after Dong Rui saw the moral character of the local police officers, he had no confidence in their ability to investigate cases and judge people, and made up his mind not to go to jail.
