After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 490 Mantis Catching Cicadas
So they haven't given up hope yet.As long as the time has not passed, they will not leave early. "

The mirror reminded him: "You are all assuming that Mr. Mai didn't communicate with the people behind the scenes. What if they have already contacted?"

"There's no harm in trying it out. At most, you'll do some idle work. Even if you wink at the blind, what's the big deal?" Who can't afford the cost of trial and error?Anyway, it wasn't him, "Besides, according to my inference, they should have never seen Mr. Mai."

"why?"

"He doesn't even live here, but all the clues we get from him point to Bai Shahao. Isn't this interesting?"

The soul-hunting mirror wondered: "Doesn't he live in Baishahao? Didn't the old man who guarded the gate for him in Shuanglu Town say that he always passes through Baishahao?"

"If he lives here for a long time, why doesn't he buy a house?" He Lingchuan said softly, "He only lives in inns in Baisha. He has lived in several hotels, and Zhong Sunmou has records."

"So Baisha is not his residence, but the long-term residence of the people behind the scenes."

The mirror felt incredible: "Wait a minute, you said Mr. Mai led us here?"

"Otherwise?" He Lingchuan has been skeptical since he received the "Record of Worshiping the Gods". The recent series of events have deepened his speculation, "He has led all the clues here, so why bother destroying it first?"

He paused, "Besides, we can verify it now."

The mirror was puzzled: "What are you going to do?"

He Lingchuan put down the work in his hand and stood up: "Call work."

……

The hour has come.

The occupancy rate of Chaohu Teahouse is only [-]%:

The blind date session that wasn't high-end and atmospheric was over, and the two parties seemed to break up, and each paid for the tea and left.

There are only two tables left.

At this time, a man in white came up from downstairs, and at the same time his steps slowed down, his eyes scanned the tower, as if looking for someone.

There are only seven tea drinkers and tourists on the fourth floor, and they can be seen at a glance.

He looks at people, and others look at him.

But like other tourists, he didn't take a seat. He just walked to the corridor on the edge of the pagoda and turned around, as if watching the scenery.

He was dressed in Yanghu white clothes, tall, with broad shoulders and long legs, and a veiled cap on his head.The shape of this thing is basically a hat as wide as a bamboo hat with silk nets hanging around it to block the wind and sun.

Baisha is rich in water, and there are many mosquitoes on the shore. It is not uncommon for fishermen and travelers to wear this kind of hat.

But the mesh of this veiled hat is so dense that it basically covers the face, with only a little outline showing.

The man walked around, then went to the tea stand to pick up two packs of dried sweet potatoes, weighed them, took out a small piece of loose silver from his waist, and threw it to the waiter.

When doing these actions, the ruby ​​finger of the man in white's right hand was exposed.

"I'll give you change."

At this time, the two tea guests had finished talking and were about to get up when the waiter suddenly dropped a few pennies on the ground.He squatted down on the ground to pick it up, inadvertently glanced up from bottom to top.

This movement was subconscious, but after looking away, he seemed to remember something, and looked up again, his eyes were straight, and he even forgot to get up.

Naturally, the man in white would not ignore his action.

He stepped back, turned his head and glanced at the tea room, and suddenly turned around and went downstairs.

The guy quickly got up and called him: "Hey, guest officer, I'm looking for your money!"

The man in white ignored him and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

The old man came over to check out and asked the clerk, "What's wrong with you?"

"He, his face..." The man in white had already disappeared at the stairs, and the man was still looking there, "It looks familiar, where did I see it?"

While talking, two craftsmen from the repair team came over and asked him for a cup of tea.

After the man in white went downstairs, he stood at the gate of Chaohu Tower and looked around.

Just as several officials passed by, he lowered his head and pressed the cap with his hands, before he mixed into the crowd on the street and walked eastward quickly.

There are several rows of low houses around Chaohu Pagoda, including private houses and shops, which make it stand out from the crowd.

Only a dozen or so breaths after the white-clothed man left the pagoda, three people came out from the short house opposite Chaohu Pagoda, all dressed as civilians, and they walked eastward at a leisurely pace.

But the man in white walked faster and faster, and got into the carriage and horse stall on the corner of the street.

In the blink of an eye, before the three behind could catch up, the man in white had already led a sorrel horse out.

Apparently it was deposited by him before.

These car and horse dealers not only have a rental business, but also can store and manage them, which is very convenient.

Chaohu Tower is in the suburbs, and there are no traffic restrictions on the roads.The man in white got on his horse and started running with a clatter, pulling the three people who were chasing him farther and farther away.

This guy is quite vigilant, if he feels abnormal in the tower, he intends to leave Baishazhen directly and never stay.

His behavior clearly exceeded the expectations of others.

Those three people didn't know what happened to him in the tower, but they all accepted the mission, so they had to temporarily turn into a carriage and horse dealer to buy horses, and then hurriedly chased after him.

They wanted to rent three horses, but they had to pay a deposit before registering for renting a car and horse, which was troublesome and time-consuming.The three of them couldn't do it, and they didn't rent it anymore, and just threw money to buy it.

That's it.

However, one of them didn't have enough money, so he borrowed money from his companions to make up enough money to buy the horses.

After such a delay, a lot of time has passed.

Fortunately, the men in white didn't gallop on their horses. They jumped on their horses and chased after them, and the distance could be gradually narrowed.

There was also a magpie in the sky chasing the man in white, and landed on treetops and roofs from time to time.

Seeing that the distance between the two sides was less than ten feet away, the three of them were about to speed up when more than ten riders jumped out of the nearby woods, all dressed as soldiers, and the leader pointed at the figure in white and shouted: "I found it, it's him!"

The sound of horseshoes behind was chaotic, and the man in white turned his head on the horse's back to take a look. Without saying a word, he swung his whip to drive the horse!
"Don't run, or you will be shot!" shouted the pursuers.

The man in white fled even faster.

On the side of the road is a field of sorghum, which grows gratifyingly and turns into an endless green gauze curtain in this season.

The man in white simply jumped in on his horse.

Baisha is rich in sorghum wine, which is widely planted in the countryside, and its plant height is one to one and a half feet (3-5 meters).The man in white rushed in with his horse and his men. As long as he lowered his head, it would be difficult for the pursuers to see him, and he could only distinguish his position by listening.

This boundless field is a big maze, and anyone who enters will be dizzy.

The three of them deliberately lagged behind the pursuers by a few positions, and came two steps behind.

Of course, a dozen or so pursuers also entered the sorghum field, and disappeared in the green gauze tent in an instant, only the sound of people and horses chanting.

The three stopped in front of the sorghum field and looked at each other.

To chase, or not to chase?

The superiors want them to keep a close eye on them, and it is best to bring them back. If they can't bring them back, then...

The leader thought for a while and said decisively, "Chase!"

The pursuers may lose their way, but they won't, because the magpie monster has been leading the way.With the eyes of the sky, this maze-like green gauze tent can help them find the target and stop the pursuers.

One of them turned his horse's head and went back to report first; the other two saw the black and white figure of the magpie flying in mid-air, and chased straight into the sorghum field.

After running for more than 20 feet, a mountain of meat suddenly appeared in front of him.

The two reined in urgently, but one of them still couldn't stop.

With a bang, people turned on their backs.

That Roushan turned his head, his face full of confusion and panic.

It turned out to be a bull hiding in the green gauze tent and stealing food, thinking that the tall sorghum stalks could cover its tracks, but two short-sighted ones rushed in from outside and bumped into its buttocks.

Man Niu thought he had been caught, so he was the first to be frightened, so he kicked his hooves and ran away rumbling away.

Like a bulldozer, it went all the way, flattening large swathes of sorghum.

Immediately, countless birds flew down from the sky, scrambling to eat the sorghum tassels that had fallen to the ground.

"Damn it!" the two cursed.

There were too many birds, chirping everywhere, flying small bodies everywhere, and they couldn't see where the magpie was at once.

You can only chase in the original direction.

After running for more than ten feet like this, the birds in the field suddenly startled again, and the sound of flapping their wings was particularly loud.

A goshawk swooped down and pinned down a certain unlucky egg in the field.

There was chaos all around, with the sound of wind, human voices, horses singing, and birds singing, it was even more difficult for the two to distinguish their positions.

The sorghum pole on the left suddenly rustled, which was different from the sound of the wind, and then a scorched brown figure rushed out, as fast as lightning.

The horse neighed, and the man stood up.

But the knight on its back has been thrown down.

Until then, the deafening roar exploded in human ears.

In the green gauze tent, there is actually a fierce tiger squatting!
As soon as the tiger demon appeared, it bit the prey's shoulder and held on, its giant claws pressed down on the collarbone, and the tiger's head twisted slightly.

Just hearing a crisp "click", the man's shoulder joint was dislocated.

This scene happened too fast, the tiger took less than one and a half breaths from attack to success.

Before the knocked-down person recovered his senses, he lost the power to fight back, and saw a bloody mouth in front of him again, with sharp teeth gleaming coldly.

He screamed in terror.

Another knight slashed at the tiger's back with a knife, but the tiger seemed to have eyes behind its back, and when it rolled over, it dodged past without losing a single hair.On the contrary, the prey it bit was forced to bend half a circle, screaming like a pig in pain.

When the knight saw it, he didn't know that he was ambushed, and he didn't care to rescue his companions, so he pulled his horse back and fled.

But he saw people and horses approaching from all directions, surrounding him in a circle.

The man in white they were chasing earlier stood at the forefront, took off his veiled cap and used it as a fan, and slapped himself twice: "Have you not dismounted and surrendered? Do you want to lose an arm or break a leg?"

This person, of course, is Young Master He.

Surrounded by heavy siege, the subdued roar of the tiger came from behind. This man's eyes were fluttering, obviously he had other thoughts.

He Lingchuan immediately said: "Don't make any wrong thoughts, your companion will confess, and your death will be in vain!"

The companion's humming and pain continued, but he was full of energy, and it really didn't look like he was dying.

The man finally gave up, jumped off the horse and raised his hand, saying: "I surrender, don't kill me!"

The soldiers rushed forward and tied the two people up like rice dumplings.

He Lingchuan stepped forward and asked, "Whose subordinates are you?"
