Queen's Detective

The way of plum blossoms is the way of Mr. Mei.

From here on, the road ahead is out of your control.A group of people stepped on the faintly fluorescent petals, walking more carefully.

However, within a few steps, Yan Sanbai said: "This fog is not quite right."

Guan Qingci also found out, "It's not just fog, it's also smoke."

The smog was so thick that they couldn't see the surrounding scene clearly. Even Guan Qingci, who was walking at the back, could hardly see Su Zhi who was leading the way.

"Let's all get closer, don't get separated, and be careful." Yan Sanbai said, looking back, the plum blossoms on the ground gradually lost their light because of the lack of candlelight, and returned to nothingness.The lantern in Su Zhi's hand must be specially made, and it is not easy to find a lantern, that is to say, once they get separated, it is very difficult to reunite.

Ling Ding pulled Su Zhi closer to him, watching closely to avoid any moths.

"Go on." Li Yan took Yan Sanbai's hand, it was the safest way.

The fog was getting thicker and thicker. Soon, Yan Sanbai could only see Li Yan beside him clearly. Even Ling Ding and Su Zhi who were walking in front seemed to be half hidden in the fog.

"Brother Guan?" Yan Sanbai confirmed their positions through voice.

"I'm here."

"Su Zhi?"

"exist."

"How far do we have to go?"

"I don't know either, but don't worry, since I promised to take you there, I will definitely take you there. No matter what, you have only one way to go now."

What Su Zhi said is true, there may be only this way to Xiaomeiyuan, and they must not let go of any opportunity.

So there was silence again, and after a while, I couldn't bear it alone. Walking in such a dense fog where you can't see your fingers, and there might be murderous intentions lurking around, I couldn't help feeling a little frightened, so I opened the chatterbox muttering.Others would add a few words from time to time, just to inform others of their position.

After walking for about half a stick of incense, Yan Sanbai looked at the ground still covered with bluestone slabs, and had some guesses in his heart.Judging from where they first started, after walking for so long, no matter which city gate they went to, they should have left the city, but now they are still in the city, could it be that they have been going around in circles?

Thinking of this, Yan Sanbai looked at Su Zhi ahead again, and saw the lamp in his hand swaying with his steps, and the candlelight also swayed, and then Yan Sanbai's eyelids jumped suddenly.

"Su Zhi?" He winked at Li Yan, stepped forward, and put Su Zhi's shoulder.

Su Zhi didn't answer.

Yan Sanbai violently turned him over, and looked head-on—this is not Su Zhi at all!

"What's going on? Who are you?!" Ling Ding was shocked. He had been walking with Su Zhi just now, and he didn't realize when he changed.

The man opened his mouth nervously, shook his head and waved his hands, as if he wanted to explain something, but he couldn't make any sound.This is the dumb point that was tapped.

Yan Sanbai quickly touched the acupuncture points on his body, and the moment he untied it, his voice crackled like soybeans in a bamboo tube, "...my business, I'm just a watchman, someone asked me to Those who stood in front said they were waiting for a lantern bearer to pass by, and he would give me the lantern and let me follow the plum blossom mark on the ground! I really don’t know anything!”

Hearing this, Yan Sanbai frowned.He glanced at the thick fog around him, and the scene just now appeared in front of his eyes.

The fog was so thick that from a single point of view, only Su Zhi could be seen, but no one else could be seen.If this person had waited aside beforehand and made no noise, no one would have discovered him, and the fact is that no one had noticed his existence.

Su Zhi is the left hand lamp, and Ling Ding is on his right.That person should be standing on Su Zhi's left hand side. Just now when there was a very thick fog, it should be at that time that Su Zhi passed by him, and he reached out to take the lantern. Unconsciously hidden in the thick fog.

Their footsteps didn't stop during this process, and this man's figure and clothes were exactly the same as Su Zhi's, so they could be misleading.

Ling Ding really couldn't help scolding his mother, this damn fog.

Yan Sanbai took the lantern and told the watchman to leave. As if he had been pardoned, the watchman hurriedly rushed into the fog and disappeared in a blink of an eye.Ling Ding was suspicious, "Just let him go like this?"

"He is just an outsider who was involved." Yan Sanbai said: "Fortunately, the lantern is still there."

"But why did Su Zhi run away?" Li Yan asked.

Ling Ding was also puzzled, "Yeah, didn't his daughter go to find Mr. Mei? He said earlier that he would die instead of his daughter, but now that he has escaped, does he care whether her daughter lives or dies?"

Su Zhi's escape was obviously not accidental, it was premeditated.Yan Sanbai's thoughts were shaken like this, and some speculations started to emerge, "It's best to escape in a foggy sky. Neither us nor Mr. Mei can find him easily. Perhaps...he has been waiting This opportunity."

"What do you mean?" Ling Ding seemed to have some clues, but he was still a little confused.

Yan Sanbai didn't explain any more, the lantern was in his hand, and they still had to move forward.

The plum blossoms on the bluestone road are still lit up one after another, like the tricks that countless children dream about, magical and gorgeous.However, the further they walked, the quieter the surrounding area became, and they never met a single pedestrian again. The huge Gusu City seemed to have turned into an empty city surrounded by fog.

In the next moment, on the corner of the street, on the shore, it seems that there will be countless ghosts and monsters popping up and spreading their way.

The temperature around him was as cool as his lonely mood at the moment, and the fairyland was more like a ghost city in his eyes, but counting the days, it seemed that there was still a long time before the ghost gate opened in July and a half.

He couldn't help but took a few steps back, wanting to stand beside Yan Sanbai, but Yan Sanbai had a prince by his side, so he thought about finding Guan Qingci who was also a lonely guest in Tianya.

However, when he turned around, he was dumbfounded, "Where is Grandma Xipi, Master Guan?!"

Yan Sanbai and Li Yan suddenly stopped, turned around, and sure enough, Guan Qingci, who had been following closely behind them, had disappeared!

This one or two is going crazy!Lone Ding scratched his head with his hands, feeling his scalp go numb.If Su Zhi had escaped, it might be understandable.But why did Guan Qingci run away?Still so silent, why?

Thinking of this, Ling Ding suddenly asked: "In the final analysis, why did Mr. Mei invite Mr. Guan to participate in the Xiaomeiyuan poetry meeting?"

why?

The only thing Guan Qingci has to do with them is Hongheling, but the truth of this matter has long been revealed. To put it bluntly, even if it is not in vain, it has nothing to do with Mr. Mei or Su Mei.For Mr. Mei, the place that should be used is enough, why should he be found?

Is there any secret?

It's not unreasonable to think alone, but Yan Sanbai is not very willing to doubt him from this perspective.His intuition told him that Guan Qingci was not someone who planned.

Li Yan patted Lone Ding's head with a folding fan, "You have a lot of tricks, maybe there are ghosts hiding in the fog, you should be careful, maybe the next one will catch you."

The lord was so sluggish, he shuddered all by himself, and goose bumps appeared on his arms.

"Ha, I have rough skin and thick flesh, I don't like eating it, how could it be..." Haha alone, but he was always afraid of such strange things, so he got closer to Yan Sanbai .

Look around, the three of them are walking in a row now, Yan Sanbai is holding a lantern in the middle, no one will be missing anymore, right?

However, as soon as he had this thought, Yan Sanbai suddenly stretched out his hand to block him, with a sound of "Dang--", the handle of the Yanling Saber hit the tip of the sword, and the cold light seemed to flash before Ling Ding's eyes Pass.

Ling Ding raised his head subconsciously and took a step back. However, when his back became cold, he drew his sword fiercely to resist, but he still suffered a dark loss because of the blocked vision.There was a scratch on the back.

"Be careful." Yan Sanbai's voice rang in his ears.

Standing up alone, the three of them quickly formed a circle with their backs to their backs, staring at their surroundings warily.

The assassin in the hidden fog is several times stronger than usual.

Li Yan squeezed Yan Sanbai's palm, and Yan Sanbai held his hand back, his heartbeat was conveyed in the palm of his hand, the hearts were connected and never separated.

"Ling Ding, don't go far." Li Yan said in a deep voice.

He responded alone, but the next moment, those swords, lights and swords that broke through the fog all rushed towards him.

Ouch, Ling Ding wailed in his heart, why are they all rushing at him!Is this bullying his worst martial arts? !

But just as he was resigning himself to his fate, Li Yan suddenly grabbed him and pulled him, and the three of them changed positions like a disc. Yan Sanbai, who was carrying the Yan Ling Saber, stood in front of those swords and swords.

Li Yan is the rope to ensure that Yan Sanbai will not get lost.

Yan Sanbai held Li Yan's hand, just within that square inch, walking with ghostly steps, blocking all those attacks in an instant.

However, the opponent's attack is obviously not that simple. Wherever a single person turns, the attack will follow that side, like a shadow.

I was so angry that I was about to jump.

In addition to being angry, Lone Ding's sword also danced much sharper.But it can't hold back the number of them!

A cold light came towards Ling Ding's face, Ling Ding had no time to block it, he turned his head violently, and the cold light brushed his ears.

However, at that moment, Ling Ding suddenly realized something, his heart was not good, he hurriedly turned his head, and saw the cold light going straight towards the hands that Yan Sanbai and Li Yan were holding!

The two hands were forced to separate, almost at the same time, the strength of the opponent's attack suddenly increased, the figures stirred up the white mist, and the distance between the three of them was getting bigger and bigger!

Ling Ding was startled, suddenly, a hook came from the fog and wrapped around his waist.When the other party pulled sharply, he was pulled and staggered a few steps.

"Ding!" Yan Ling knife slashed on the chain, followed by the harsh sound of metal friction.

Yan Sanbai flipped the blade, and struck again, the chain snapped.

Ling Ding was caught by him and pushed back to Li Yan's side.

However, Lone Ding didn't feel rejoicing, he retreated uncontrollably, but watched Yan Sanbai's figure being covered by thick fog.

"Master Yan!"

Li Yan put his hand on his back and caught him, his magnetic voice was calm, "Don't worry."

Just at this moment, a chain was thrown out of the fog, Li Yan stretched out his hand to catch it, and when he pulled it, the chain jingled, and Yan Sanbai floated towards him.
