The rain has just stopped.

A waning moon hangs on the branches, illuminating part of the courtyard, and it looks as cold as a layer of frost from the window.

Zhou Yan maintained the posture of lifting the window, facing the pair of blue and white pupils, only frowned, and shifted his gaze to the back of this unknown person without saying a word——

A few more people of different shapes and ages, but their pupils were covered with a layer of blue, looked towards Zhou Yan, and then took a few steps in the direction of the window.At the beginning, it was just a staggering speed, and when Zhou Yan lowered the window, they were already drooling and running like flying.

Duan Meng also saw this scene through the window, and slid his sword out of its sheath with a "shua", ready to go in silence.

Zhou Yan raised his chin, knowing it, took the bow and arrow from the cabinet beside him, jumped up like a bird, and landed on the beam lightly and deftly.The chaotic footsteps outside the room were getting closer, Zhou Yan turned off the lights with a "hula", removed the long sword hanging from the wall, leaned against the corner, and breathed lightly.

With a "bang", the door was pushed open.The leading man rushed in with a low growl, and caught sight of Duan Meng standing on the beam.Duan Meng nocked and drew the bow, and the arrow passed the man's head like a shooting star.The man ignored the sharp arrow and continued to pounce on it without any hesitation. A man with blue pupils followed him closely, but the moment he stepped into the threshold, he was hit hard on the knee and stepped on the chest, and then the whole man flew out. , making a dull landing sound.

"Clang", Zhou Yan closed the door and bolted it, letting the slapping and beast-like growls outside the door come and go.The moonlight shines through the gap on the door, and the reflection of the figure outside the door is showing its teeth and claws.

Fortunately, there are only five or six of these monsters, which is not enough to cause trouble.This is the Governor's Mansion, and the doors are all made of the best and hardest wood. These people move strangely, but their strength and speed have not surpassed ordinary people. The door will not fall apart for a while.

The man who was locked in the door was left alone, and he stretched out his hand to reach Duanmeng as if he didn't realize it.He jumped quite high, tossing back and forth on the narrow beams, but he managed not to catch even a corner of his clothes.

Seeing that Na Duanmeng had no choice, the man turned his head and stared at Zhou Yan closely, with a rapid and short "ho ho" sound in his throat, and waving his pale and thin blue-gray hands, he rushed towards him.

Before Zhou Yan drew his sword out of its sheath, he put the sword horizontally against the man's arm, switched hands and flipped the sword over while slamming a corner of the man.The man's hands were restrained, and he was thrown to the ground on his back by Zhou Yan's strength. Seeing this, Duan Meng jumped down from the beam, took out a roll of tough rope from his sleeve, bound the man's hands and feet, and tied him up again. tied to a post next to it.

"What the hell is this?" Zhou Yan stretched out his hand in front of the struggling man. The man stretched out his head and wanted to nibble on his hand, but Zhou Yan pulled out two of them with his sword in disgust. tooth.

"I don't know." Duan Mengzai looked at the man with a crazy appearance carefully, held his chin and looked at him carefully for a while, and said after pulling his eyelids, "The only thing that is certain is that he is still alive. .”

But no, it is alive and kicking and wants to bite, and its strength is stronger than ordinary people.

Zhou Yan pondered for a while, then suddenly said, "Does he look like he's got a Gu?"

The man has no obvious wounds, but his mind is as deranged as a beast.The people surrounding them acted in groups, indicating that there were even people manipulating them afterwards.

To do this, judging from the methods Zhou Yan has seen before, the only way is to use Gu.

"..." Duan Meng silently agreed with Zhou Yan's statement.

They tossed the man in the governor's mansion, blindfolded and plugged his ears, used water and fire for a while - the conclusion was that they used five senses to hunt prey like ordinary people, and their bodies were as fragile as ordinary people, but they didn't Fear of obvious dangers.

Ordinary people should be somewhat tired by this time, but his drive to bite people with his neck stuck up can be said to have not diminished at all.

Even Zhou Yan was a little annoyed.He sneered: "It seems that Zhao Changjue is confident because of these things."

It can't be said that Zhao Changjue is confident, and he can be regarded as trembling and kind to persuade Zhou Yan to leave here.But first, he didn't take the initiative to reveal the truth, and second, he didn't have the slightest intention of seeking help to solve this group of things.From this point of view, the governor should have seen how the previous officials appointed by the little emperor disappeared.

"When the group of bastards are gone, ask him to settle the score." Zhou Yan said, "I don't believe that they can be blocked outside for a lifetime. Let them think that we are all trapped, and the effect will be better."

Duan Meng nodded, looking at the man tied into a twist and still howling, he felt that it was really unsightly, so he raised his hand and wanted to knock him unconscious.

But Zhou Yan suddenly said: "Wait."

He took a few steps forward, the black silk cover shimmering slightly in the darkness.Zhou Yan removed a sharp dagger from his waist with a blank expression, drew a line on the tip of his index finger, pushed his thumb up, and pushed out a drop of dark red blood.He stretched out his index finger in front of the man, and with the appearance of the drop of blood congealed into a water drop, it was precarious——

The man who was bound suddenly stopped his growl, his head shrank back, his messy hair covered his face, but it couldn't stop his slightly trembling limbs.

A monster with a hideous face and tied into a twist, the mouse desperately hid its face like a hide-and-seek, avoiding the sight of Zhou Yan who was opposite him in black and golden crown.

Duan Meng: "......"

Crushing from royal blood?Should he kneel down and call Chitose?

But seeing Zhou Yan withdrew his hand with an ugly face, wiped away the blood bead, and didn't even share his eyes with the man tied to the pillar, and said coldly: "What happened just now, you have never seen it before. .”

Duanmeng's heart skipped a beat, and he bowed his head in salute.

"Even if it's... that person, you can't reveal a word to him." Zhou Yan emphasized, "Otherwise I'll sell Kaimei to Mingyuezhou, and let you resign and go there to be a Mr. Turtle."

Duan Meng: "..." Can you be more childish?

But Duan Meng can see that Zhou Yan's mood is not generally bad.He watched his heart carefully, decided not to cause trouble for himself at this moment, saluted and crouched in a corner to watch.

The sky was getting brighter, and the candles lit around Zhou Yan were almost burnt out.The banging outside the door gradually died down.

"Prince?" Duan Meng asked for instructions, asking himself whether he should follow.This trip was in a hurry, if he followed, Zhou Yan would have no capable person at hand for a while.

"Go." Zhou Yan looked sleepy, saw Duanmeng hesitate for a moment, gave a soft "tsk", just raised his eyes, but saw Duanmeng said goodbye neatly, and went out the door.

The man tied to the post is still playing dead.

Zhou Yan stared at him impatiently, resting his forehead with one hand to sleep, but in a trance, he heard noises and chaotic whispers like insects crawling.

"Xixi..."

"Instigate..."

"Ayan, my Ayan!"

A woman's mournful cry exploded in the depths of his mind, Zhou Yan covered his humming ears, only feeling that a hole had been opened in his head.

He opened his eyes suddenly, and everything became quiet again, except for the sound of light rain falling to the ground.

Zhou Yan was upset, stood up, turned around, and tidied up his coat.When he walked to the pillar, the man's head drooped, his limbs were limp, as if he had lost all his strength.

Zhou Yan frowned fiercely.

He stretched out his hand to probe the man's breath, his white fingertips showed a strange beauty against the blue-gray skin——

He didn't feel any breath.

The man is dead.

Zhou Yan narrowed his eyes, strode towards the table, picked up the things he had arranged, and went to the dungeon where Zhao Changjue was held.

......

Qi County.

Under Jiang Yubai's intimidation, the county magistrate of Qi county allocated some people to investigate the missing persons, and sent two people who traveled quickly to report to the governor's mansion.

The people who went to the governor's mansion couldn't come back for a while, so the disappearance cases that were reported were put on the desk one after another, which was shocking.

After checking in the morning, there are nearly [-] households who are still staying in Qixian County as missing persons - the number of "disappearance" cases in Qixian County in the past three years is not that many.The most recent missing are people who survived the flood, including children and adults, most of whom are men.In just a few days, the family couldn't find them.

Their family members are still here, and now they lack food and clothing. Even if they fled, they disappeared too hastily.

The county magistrate watched Jiang Yubai sitting in the temporary hut looking through the returns, and picked out a few of them himself, and the more he looked at them, the more sweat grew on his forehead.

"Fishing in troubled waters, huh?" Jiang Yubai gently put the paper in his hand on the table, but the county magistrate trembled as if hearing thunder, "They expected that you, the county magistrate, would not open your eyes, but they didn't expect You will give them such a great convenience."

The group of guys suspected of being a cult organization are not stupid, they find it easy to abduct people from here, they will come again—the magistrate of Qi County was afraid of causing trouble, so he turned his eyes and closed his eyes to those two or three cases, and was listed after the disaster One of the best soft persimmons to pinch.

Coincidentally, the officials who supervised the disaster relief also seemed to be eaten, and there was no sign of them.An inactive county magistrate is not worse.

The current situation is no longer as simple as being removed from the black hat. No matter how weird the other party's methods are, the county magistrate will have to fight, otherwise it will be a serious crime of ransacking the family and destroying the family.The magistrate frothed anxiously, but Jiang Yubai followed suit: "What do you think...?"

He already regarded Jiang Yubai as a big shot who came from the capital for a private visit.

Jiang Yubai was still waiting for news from Wu Xiaoliu, and couldn't make up his mind for a while.He tilted his head, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Hiss, where is the armory of your county government?"

"At the foot of the mountain, it's probably half flooded..."

"Are those cannons still there?"

"The Hushan Cannon was sealed in a large box sealed with tung oil, so it should still be there. What do you mean...?"

"Wait for the boss to transfer people." Jiang Yubai patted him on the shoulder, "It's really not possible, let's bombard them."
