In the evening, the entire foothills of Hongye Mountain were submerged in a sea of fog.
"Nephew, why are you back?"
Shanxian Lieutenant looked curiously at the returning Li family cavalry, and the light from the torch illuminated Li Xuan who got off the carriage.
Li Xuan bowed and said: "Master Shan, I didn't find the eldest sister, so she just left like this. I feel uneasy."
Shan Jian said with emotion: "My good nephew really values friendship and friendship."
After that, he beckoned and said: "My dear nephew, come on. After you left today, Lieutenant Ma from Chiyue County also came. I will introduce him to you. Maybe you can ask him if he has any friends along the way. The whereabouts of my eldest niece.”
Li Xuan smiled and said, "Thank you, uncle."
"As a family, we don't talk to each other, just come and go." Shan Jian walked forward.
Li Xuanzhen was about to leave when he suddenly felt that Yaohua's footsteps beside him were a little sluggish.
His expression changed, he slowed down and said, "Uncle, I'll be here soon."
Shan Jian didn't ask any questions and said, "Then I'll wait for you in front."
Li Xuan smiled.
When Shan Jian was far away, he looked at Yaohua and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
Yaohua shook her head slowly.
Li Xuan stared at her and said: "After you came to my house, you became my woman, but you rarely mentioned your past. Do you know Lieutenant Ma of Chiyue County?"
Yaohua said coldly: "I don't know him."
Li Xuandao: "You and I are called young master and maid, but I have always treated you as family. What can you hide from me?"
Yaohua looked at his serious look and sighed: "It's just a grudge I made in the past. I don't want to cause you any trouble."
"Say." Li Xuandao.
Yaohua was about to speak but stopped.
"Say!" Li Xuan said again.
Yaohua was helpless, so she spoke happily.
Lieutenant Ma of Chiyue County was a rogue in the past, and she encountered him doing evil things when she first started walking around the world.
The Ma County captain forcibly seized an unmarried girl and humiliated her for several days and nights with his accomplices. After the girl's father came to seek justice, he and others killed her.
For this kind of thing, the government should have arrested him and beheaded him, but Ma Popi seemed to be someone with official connections, so nothing happened. He just randomly caught an unlucky guy and beheaded him, and that was the end of the matter.
Yaohua, who was wandering around the world, came to Chiyue County and happened to meet the girl who had hanged herself. After learning the whole story, she angrily found Ma Popi, hoping to take advantage of the darkness to eliminate evil for the people.
However, Ma Popi's life should not be cut off, and there is a master beside him.
Yaohua took action, but was stopped by the master and had to retreat.
Later, something happened to Yaohua's family. She went everywhere to ask for help to suppress the bandits, and even went to Chiyue County to ask for help.
It's just that "Thirty years in the east of Hedong and thirty years in the west of Hexi", Ma Popi changed his gold uniform and transformed into a captain of Ma County.
When enemies met, Yaohua was so beautiful that Ma County Lieutenant had evil thoughts. He raised his hand and called her "a thief shouts to catch a thief" and asked someone to take her down. Fortunately, Yaohua's body skills were good and he escaped. .
Now, Yaohua is by Li Xuan's side, and the Li family is powerful in Xiongshan County. Even if Ma County Lieutenant says "Yaohua is the remnant of the bandits in Honghua Mountain", it will have no effect.
This kind of thing is not based on reasoning at all, but on whose voice has the most power.
After saying this, Yaohua looked at the ground gloomily, her cheeks were slightly red with anger, and said: "I don't want to cause trouble for you, so I won't go.
The name Yaohua is actually a pseudonym. My real name is Wei Yao. "
Li Xuan's expression moved, he swept the mist, felt the demon blood in his body, and suddenly he came close to Yaohua's ear, and then kissed her hard while she wasn't paying attention.
This bite was too abrupt.
Yaohua reacted, raised her hand to hit him on the arm, then stamped her feet angrily, turned around and left.
Li Xuan shouted from behind: "I know."
"snort!"
Wei Yao was very angry.
Li Xuan smiled, but did not ask Wei Yao to follow him. Instead, he changed the cavalry leader to Uncle Wang and went with him.
...
...
Lieutenant Ma County was a rather thin man with shrewd eyes. He had also heard of the Li family's reputation.
After Li Xuan arrived, several people quickly became involved.
Lieutenant Ma County also gave an overview of what he saw along the way. To put it simply, he didn't see the eldest lady of the Li family.
Li Xuan's eldest sister...is really missing.
...
...
With more people, everyone becomes more courageous.
What's more, a lot of people died along the way. As county lieutenants of Xiongshan County and Chiyue County, both Shan Jian and Ma County Lieutenant had to search and find out the results out of reason.
As soon as several high-level officials gathered together, they made a plan.
Join the team early tomorrow morning and explore the surrounding area together.
If nothing happens, then go to Hongye Mountain for a walk.
...
...
The next day, a thousand county soldiers and the Li family's cavalry gathered together and patrolled back and forth along the foothills of Hongye Mountain running from north to south.
This investigation revealed many new corpses.
In fact, the two counties have long known that this road is unsafe, but there are always people who do not believe in evil or have urgent matters who want to rush. This is really like rushing to reincarnate.
The more Shan Jian looked at it, the colder his expression became. After seeing some pieces of meat on the ground, he suddenly asked: "Could it be a beast like a big insect?"
Lieutenant Ma Xian sneered: "Have you ever seen any big insect with such ability?"
The air was filled with the smell of blood.
Li Xuan was sitting in the carriage, and Wei Yao was wearing a white face-covering hat in the carriage, firstly to avoid being accidentally spotted by Ma County Lieutenant, and secondly to prevent fire and theft from young masters.
...
...
The third day.
Thousands of county soldiers and Li family masters went to Hongye Mountain to explore the mountains.
The mountain road is not as narrow as the official road. It is impossible to maintain the formation and get together.
The captains of the two counties could barely control their own soldiers, while the Li family's masters were between the soldiers of the two counties.
The intestine-like mountain road winds between the mountains.
And at some point, mist appeared in the mountains again.
Everyone was immediately alert.
So, a day's search... to no avail.
...
...
A few days later...
"Damn it!" Lieutenant Ma County was angry. He slapped the table and said, "If you are looking for it so slowly, when will you find it?"
He had just taken a concubine and went out to work before he had had enough sleep. Moreover, he had been working for a long time without making any progress, so he was naturally anxious.
Shan Jian said: "Master Ma, what are you going to do?"
Ma Xianwei said: "Expand the search scope! Let's search the mountains in this area as soon as possible. No matter whether we succeed or not, we can have an explanation when we go back!"
Shan Jian frowned.
Ma Xianwei said: "It would be great if you are really alone and in trouble. The people nearby come to the rescue and catch the thief in one go."
Shan Jian hesitated for a while, but nodded. It was really not an option to continue like this.
...
...
The mountains shrouded in cold mist are mysterious.
Everyone set foot on this land again, but they were scattered.
The masters of the Li family are not included in this list.
Dozens of people surrounded Mr. Li.
These days, Li Xuan has completed the "demon blood durability" test.
The test result is that there is no time limit. As long as he doesn't take off the demon blood, the demon blood can stay on his body and work.
After the personnel were dispersed this time, Li Xuan did feel different.
In the past few times, there was no sense of threat on this mountain.
But this time, the demon blood in his body began to spontaneously heat up again, which meant that... the "devil" was coming.
Li Xuan approached Wei Yao more and more cautiously, and asked his masters to concentrate as much as possible.
As time passed, his perception became clearer, and he could even feel that the "demon" was patrolling the surrounding area, looking for opportunities.
His blood became hotter and hotter, like forged red-hot steel bars inside his body.
Suddenly, Li Xuan looked far away.
It was a mountain col, which looked like the mouth of a giant beast in the mist.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and he suddenly shouted: "There seems to be movement there!"
His shout immediately attracted the attention of Lieutenant Ma Xian who was walking nearby.
Ma County Captain paused, glanced at Li Xuan, and said with a smile: "Master Li, what's wrong?"
Li Xuan pointed solemnly at the mountain col and said, "Master Ma, I heard the sound there. Could the murderer be hiding there?"
Lieutenant Ma Xian rolled his eyes intelligently, and then said with a straight face: "Come, go there and have a look."
The people around him walked out reluctantly, but they had to go because of official authority.
Li Xuan said angrily, "My eldest sister may be there, I want to kill those bandits." After that, he angrily led the Li family's masters to the mountain col.
Ma Xianwei looked at the back and secretly sneered in his heart: "Young man actually ran into danger by himself, how stupid he is." But the little beauty next to him looks good. Although she can't see her appearance, her butt is very beautiful, which is a pity. '
But he thought he was in a safe place, but he didn't notice at all that as he sent half of his men and the Li family's group swarmed towards the mountain col, the number of people around him was already pitifully small.
If you look down from a high altitude, it's like a large interconnected network has suddenly been plucked out.
The place where Lieutenant Ma County was located was completely isolated.
Maybe after a while, Lieutenant Ma County will realize that there is something wrong with this, and this... will take time, because now in his consciousness, the dangerous place is the mountain col.
Li Xuan kept sensing the threat.
He only knew a little.
If there is no "bait", the "devil" will not take the bait.
After all, "bait" is needed, so why not use Ma Xianwei as bait.
I just don’t know if it can be done.
These days, the people in the two counties have become very aware of the dangers of this road, so there are no passersby on the road, and the "Demon" has not opened for two days.
Will the "devil" let go of today's opportunity?
People plan things, but God decides to make things happen. Nothing can be 100% sure.
Li Xuan hurriedly ran towards the mountain col. With the reminder of the demon blood, the more he ran, the more danger he felt was getting away.
In the eyes of everyone, the eldest son takes the lead and is affectionate and righteous.
Wei Yao dragged his gun and followed closely.
Her eyes became softer and softer. Even though the eldest young master was wrong in all kinds of ways, he still worked so hard for his eldest sister. If her brother was still alive, would it be the same?
At this moment, a heart-rending, frightening scream that did not sound like a human voice suddenly came from behind everyone.
The scream only sounded once and then stopped abruptly.
Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of fighting.
Amidst the sounds of fighting, screams began again and again!
The direction is exactly where Lieutenant Ma County is.
This sound not only stopped Li Xuan and the soldiers from Chiyue County, but also caused all the soldiers from Soushan County to surround them.
