after silence

Zhu thought for a moment, his eyes lit up and he said quickly, "The store was not busy just now, the young one was cleaning the lobby downstairs, and there was only one old man and one young man checking out. Oh, by the way, that young man was holding a He said it was his sick wife, and I didn't pay much attention to the people coming and going in the inn every day."

If Xiaoer didn't lie, then that person must be hugging the unconscious Su Chen.

"What do they look like?"

"Well, they turned their backs to me at the time, and the younger one didn't see what they looked like. Hero, what the younger one said is true, so please let the younger one go."

Seeing no strong message, I kicked him out the door.

After driving Dongfang Ling out of the room, I took off my shoes and sat on the bed.Qianhen next to me understood my purpose and stood beside me to protect the law for me.

His aura still remained on Su Chen's quilt, and I could find out his approximate location by following his aura with the help of spiritual power.Qianhen's mana has not yet reached this level, and I don't have the fairy bone on my body, so I don't know if the measurement is accurate or not.

Stimulating spiritual power, I kept thinking about Su Chen's face and reminiscing about his breath, my hands were surrounded by a layer of faint white light, I stroked Su Chen's quilt, my mind kept changing the scene, and finally stopped The picture below is the outskirts of Yuancheng, and it will never be seen again.

He opened his eyes abruptly, withdrew his spiritual power and exhaled the stale breath in his chest.Qianhen next to me hurriedly came over, wiped off the sweat on my face and asked, "Dijun, how is the situation? Did you find it?"

I got up from the bed and shook my head slowly.

"No, I only saw the outskirts of Yuancheng, and then I couldn't see them anymore, but judging from the time, they might just go to the outskirts of the city."

I turned around and looked at Qian Hen behind me and said, "Go prepare two fast horses, let's go and have a look first."

"Dijun, wouldn't Yufeng be faster?"

Seeing Qianhen's puzzled expression, I glanced at him and walked out, and said, "You have to remember, we are just mortals now, if Yufeng will cause civil unrest."

Qianhen bowed his head and made a confession and walked out of the room with me.

When I came to the outskirts of Yuancheng with Ashen Yuma, there was nothing but barren woods.Let Qianhen look around to see if there are any human footprints or horseshoe prints. I rode on the horse and watched the surrounding environment quietly, trying to find a trace of Su Chen's breath from here.

"Dijun, there is nothing. Except for the traces of wild animals around, there are no signs of people or horses at all."

I nodded to him and said nothing.

If they show up here with Su Chen, there is no reason why they will leave no traces, even if it is a little bit, I can sense it, but I haven't found it at all now, if they appear here and erase the traces, they don't have that time yet, don't they? Is my judgment wrong?

At this moment, there was a sound in the woods, Qian Hen pulled out his sword, and rushed into the forest quickly.

After a while, Qianhen picked out a person from the forest.The person's clothes were messy and torn in many places. There was an obvious palm print on the right face, and there was still wet blood at the corner of his mouth.

Looking at this person, I couldn't help but sneer. I didn't suspect him at first, but he sent it to the door himself.

I turned over and got off the horse, stretched out my hand and lifted his chin, looked at his embarrassed look and smiled and said, "Young Master Chenyan is really seductive, I don't know where he is going to pick up the guests?"

true and false dust

Sitting in the room of the inn, I looked at the shivering dust and smoke in front of me with a smile on my face while holding a teacup.Bai Lian on the side looked at Chen Yan with curiosity in his eyes.

"Dongfang Qi, who is he, why does he look like a woman?"

Bai Lian came to me and grabbed my sleeve, looking at Chen Yan with a trace of disgust in his eyes.

I glanced at Bai Lian and put down the cup in my hand, stretched out my hand and squeezed his ear to let Dongfang Ling lead him out of the room.

I got up and walked to Chenyan, looking at him in rags, I couldn't help frowning.Dust and Smoke had been huddled in the corner of the room from the very beginning, and she was even more frightened when she saw me approaching.

"Qianhen, help him get a suit of clothes."

Qian Hen said yes, bowed his head and walked out of the room.And I took a look at him and went back to the desk by the window, picked up the pen on the desk and started to draw.After a while, Su Chen Junyi's face appeared vividly on the paper.

Now even I can't find Su Chen, so for now, I can only hand over Su Chen's portrait to the brothers at the sub-helm of the Immortal Mansion and ask them to help find it. This way the dispersal is much faster than me alone.

Qianhen came in and saw that I was busy, and called Chenyan out of the room.

After a while, the door was pushed open. I thought it was Dongfang Ling who came in, and without raising my head, I handed him the painting on the table, and said, "Dongfang Ling, give the portrait of Su Chen to the sub-helm of the Immortal Mansion." Brethren, let them help you find."

The other party took the portrait but did not leave. I raised my head in doubt, and found that the person who came was the eldest son of the leader of Zhan.

I put down my pen, looked up and smiled at him, walked to the coffee table and pointed to the chair next to him to sit down.

"I don't know what business Mr. Zhan is here for?"

Zhan Yuehua looked up at me, put the portrait in his hand on the tea table, and kept his eyes on Su Chen's portrait.

"Father heard that Mr. Su was kidnapped, so he specially sent me to help Young Master Dongfang find someone."

I took a sip of the still warm tea and smiled.

"Then please ask Mr. Zhan to replace the leader of Zhan."

After that, I got up and continued to paint. Zhan Yuehua stood by the coffee table and opened his mouth to speak, but he was too embarrassed to speak again when he saw that I was engrossed in it, so he said goodbye softly and walked out of the room.

When Zhan Yuehua walked out of the room, he happened to meet the dust and smoke from the shower.Looking at the weak dust and smoke on his face, Zhan Yuehua looked back at me and left without looking back.

I raised my pen to dip the ink and found that the ink in the inkstone had been used up. I raised my hand and called Chen Yan to my side and handed him the ink stick.

"The ink is gone, please trouble Mr. Chen Yan to make a move."

Chen Yan hummed and rolled up her wide sleeves, and with her white jade-like hands, she took the black ink stick and gently slid it in the inkstone.

I squinted at Chen Yan, the enchanting smile had been removed from the charming face, the big eyes on the white face blinked from time to time, the clear eyes were like a child's.Wearing a wide gray long gown on his body does not look awkward at all, but shows a sense of tenacity.

"Young Master Dongfang, it's over."

Chen Yan put down the ink stick and stood on the side with his hands down, his face was dull, and his eyes were as blank as a marionette manipulated by someone.

I stained my whole body with some ink and continued to paint, Chen Yan stared blankly at the portrait of Su Chen that was gradually taking shape under my brush, and said nothing, those eyes looked at the portrait of Su Chen as if he was thinking about something.

"Young Master Chenyan, I don't know why you appeared on the outskirts of the city alone today?"

Hearing my question, Chen Yan's body trembled, and his body also trembled a little. The fear and anxiety in his eyes made him look extremely pitiful.

I smiled at him lightly, and said, "Young Master Chenyan, there are no outsiders here, so you don't have to show this expression to me."

Chen Yan looked up with a dazed face, looking at him, I faintly felt that something was wrong, this Chen Yan seemed to be a little different from before.

"Master Dongfang, I, I didn't know that I would be outside the city. My mother asked me to attend a church meeting. I was hijacked not far from Fuxian Pavilion in a carriage. They, they wanted me to serve them, I If I didn’t follow through, they beat me, and then a man in black rescued me, I couldn’t see what he looked like, and when I woke up, I was outside the city.”

I put down my pen, looked at Chenyan panicked, with deep eyes, trying to remember, I couldn't help reaching out to clamp his chin, and pulled him to me.

"Young Master Chenyan, I have already told you, don't play this game in front of me, otherwise you will be the one who will suffer. If I ask you, you'd better explain it honestly, I don't mind what happened that day repeats itself."

When Chen Yan heard my words, she knelt down in front of me with a plop, grabbed my skirt with both hands and began to cry.

"Young Master Dongfang, Chenyan didn't lie. Everything Chenyan said is true. If you don't believe me, you can ask your mother. He was the one who asked me to go to the church meeting at Master Li Ran's house in the morning."

Li Ran?When I heard this name, I couldn't help but feel familiar.

I remember that I just heard from the shopkeeper downstairs that Li Ran, the richest man in Yuancheng, was going to celebrate his 50th birthday on the second day of Yuancheng, and Chenyan now said that he would go to Li Ran’s birthday in the morning, and there was a gap of nearly two months. .Could it be that this Chenyan was dropped by someone, this one is real Chenyan, and the one I saw is fake?

But that's not right, the murder of the Seven Great Aristocratic Families should have had a relationship with this Chenyan, so that Chenyan from Fuxian Pavilion is innocent?But why did he pretend to be Chen Yan?

"Among the seven great families, the heads of the four great families were killed. Did you drink with them before they died?"

Chen Yan heard my words, hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and nodded.

"Young Master Dongfang, although I drank with them, their deaths have nothing to do with me. You have to trust me, Young Master Dongfang."

"According to what you said, how did you know me, and how did you know my last name?"

I looked closely at Chenyan kneeling at my feet, trying to see how he would react.But, ever since I asked the question, Chen Yan was stunned, and she was pulling tighter and tighter on my skirt, and her face began to turn pale.

"I don't know, I don't know either. I knew your surname Dongfang at the first sight in the suburbs, but I can't remember where I saw you? Ah, it hurts."

After finishing speaking, Chenyan screamed and lay on the ground with her head in her arms, rolling continuously.

Hearing the screams, Dongfang Ling and Zhan Yuehua hurriedly opened the door and entered the room.
