Several people walked non-stop along the route to the inn on the way. It was already dark.
Along the way, they asked passers-by if they had seen anything strange, but to no avail.
Everyone was a little tired when they arrived at the inn. Before they could sit down after requesting two rooms, Shen Xuan knocked on their door.
"Miyou is here."
Cheng Suisui stood up suddenly and opened the door. Where did Brother Miyou go? Does he have news about Ruan Ruan?
"Come to our side and talk."
Cheng Suisui and Lan Zhao carried Xu Xu to the next door together. Miyou looked gray and dusty, as if he had experienced the baptism of a sandstorm like them. There were still traces of fighting on his body and wounds on his arms. The injury has been healed.
It's been a day and a night since he left the team, what happened?
"Brother Miyou, how are you? Why are you injured?"
Miyou drank a bottle of water. When Cheng Suisui asked, he touched his left arm and said, "It's a small matter, just a misunderstanding."
Ruan Xianbei had done some tricks on the carriage, using a special material to coat the wheels. As long as the carriage was not broken, he could find it. He found this place just by following the marks left by the carriage.
It has to be said that Ruan Xianbei was more careful. If the mark on the carriage was not somewhere else, or on herself, the clues would be interrupted when she was captured.
When he arrived and signaled the saint but there was no response, he asked the shopkeeper if there was such a group of people. At this time, Shen Xuan came out of the house.
He learned from Shen Xuan that they were attacked and separated from them due to a sudden sandstorm.
"It's not because of the sandstorm, it's because of the person you are trying to save.@*~~" Mi You said in a somewhat unhappy tone. The Saint was unable to defend herself against all odds.
I have already told you not to save people on the road out of kindness.
Mi You became even more unhappy when he saw Lan Zhao and the child she was holding. He pursed his lips and said nothing. Even Ruan Xianbei wouldn't say anything to Lan Zhao, so how could he make a decision for the saint.
It was only because she knew that as a doctor, Lan Zhao could not ignore death that she would be angry.
It was only by taking advantage of this and taking advantage of their sympathy that the other party was able to successfully get close to them.
Seeing Mi You's tired look, Lan Zhao said guiltily, "I'm sorry, I was gullible."
Most people would seek help and protection from those who seemed to be stronger, but Banmei hugged Lan Zhao and begged her to take him away.
Why do you trust strangers so much? Why doesn't Fu Cheng bother with his outstanding martial arts skills?
Lan Zhao is just a doctor and cannot protect her very well.
Miyou didn't answer, just hoping that after this time, her rescue would not affect other people.
Everyone focused their attention on him, and Mi You didn't waste any time and directly told him about his trip to Helianna Town according to Ruan Xianbei's instructions.
"The saint has always been uneasy, so she asked me to investigate again to see if there is anything missing." Mi You said, and also talked about Ruan Xianbei leaving a mark on the carriage.
Shen Xuan said: "In other words, she knows that the other party is coming for her, and she may be separated from us at any time, so she chooses to mark the items to be safer."
Shen Xuan asked: "Who has she been guarding against?"
Cheng Suisui blurted out: "It's Lingxiao Villa!"
Everyone thought of Lingxiao Villa, or Mu Huaxiao's people, who else would do this except him.
"It's so hard to guard against!" Cheng Suisui said, pounding the table.
Shen Xuan said: "Let's talk first, what did you find in Helena Town?"
Miyou rode overnight to Heliana Town. Heliana Town was not a big town. He randomly found a house and said that he was helping Banmei come back to pick up things. Where was the yard where Banmei lived before?
It happened that someone knew what happened during the day before. A kind person pointed the way to him. A passerby pointed out a family and told him that the family was familiar with Banmei and worked together. You can ask him.
Fortunately, it was not too late. It was getting dark so late that people went to bed late. The hostess came out and opened the door and listened to him.
There was not much doubt about the purpose of coming.
The woman told Miyou, well, the yard over there was where she lived before, and the owner was never there. She pulled Miyou and said Banmei was really pitiful. The child was capable and hard-working. I don’t know how to end up with such a family. If If you can leave, don't come back.
The woman said again that Banmei had left money with her. If she waited for that family to come back, she would use it as rent money. After all, she had lived here for such a long time and did not let her sleep on the street. Finding a place to stay is not easy.
After thanking the neighbor, he climbed over the wall and entered Banmei's house. There was nothing wrong inside and outside. He entered the bedroom again, but he always felt that something was wrong when he stood in the bedroom.
Miyou still believed in his intuition. He was standing in the corner thinking when a black shadow flashed towards him.
Miyou relied on his instinct to avoid the knife, but another person took action from behind, and the knife cut on his arm. Although Miyou finally subdued the two of them, he was also injured.
"Who are you?" Miyou asked as he tied up the two people.
"Who sent you?"
The two of them were tight-lipped, and Miyou didn't bother to ask if he couldn't ask. The two of them didn't seem to have very high cultivation levels. It was just that he was thinking about something just now, so he was unprepared for being hit.
His original plan for this trip was not to alert anyone, but it seemed that someone had been watching this place secretly for a long time.
Who is the one?
Now that he had been exposed, Mi You lit up the lamp. He couldn't see clearly in the dark, so he still lit the lamp to make it easier to find him.
A woman's voice came from the yard next door: "Young man, are you okay over there? I just heard the sound of something falling. Do you need help?"
It seems that Banmei is really popular, and her neighbors are very concerned about her.
Mi You raised his voice and replied: "It's okay, the mouse just knocked something over."
"If you need help, just say it!"
"Okay, thank you sister."
Mi You rummaged around in the bedroom, not knowing what to look for.
The two people thought that they would definitely die, but they didn't expect that the man tied them up and left them alone. One of the young men asked curiously: "What are you looking for?"
Miyou threw out another book and said, "I don't know."
have no idea?
The man was a little confused. Why did he come here if he didn't know what he was looking for?
Miyou thought of what he asked Ruan Xianbei before leaving: "What should I check?"
"I suspect Banmei is dead." Ruan Xianbei said with a serious expression, "Go and confirm this for me."
There were no letters in the house that could identify the woman, and there were no strange things. Miyou walked around the yard again, even lifting the water tank to look at it, but there was nothing in it.
"What exactly are you looking for?"
Mi You looked at these two people with some amusement. They were probably not professional killers. Professional killers wouldn't talk so much.
"I'm looking for someone."
"Looking for someone, isn't Miss Banmei gone?"
"Now that you know Miss Banmei is gone, what are you doing here?"
"We were ordered to—"
The young man opened and shut his mouth, glaring at him to prevent him from talking to him.
"Didn't you see anyone suspicious while you were here?"
"You are the most suspicious." The young man said angrily.
Ha, Miyou laughed out loud and continued to do his own thing.
At this time, the half-cut incense stick in the incense burner on the table in the room caught his attention.
He twisted a little incense ash and put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it. It was too fragrant, not like the incense used by ordinary people. This kind of incense is often used in brothels and gambling houses. It seems to be used in this house to cover up something. Tastes the same...
The furnishings in this house are simple, where else can one hide someone?
Miyou jumped onto the beam, but there was no one on the beam.
He opened the closet again. There were only a few old clothes in the closet, and some half-knitted children's clothes in it.
bed?
Mi You patted the bed, and his expression changed instantly.
No...the bed sounds different. Update without error@
Speaking of which, look for the right.
His voice was a little hoarse, so he stopped to drink water. Although his plain talk had no ups and downs, Cheng Suisui was still extremely stimulating, and his heart was in his throat.
The atmosphere is such that you can drink water here!
Cheng Suisui swallowed his saliva and asked nervously: "Brother Miyou, what's wrong with that bed? And have you found someone?"
Mi You nodded and said, "Found it."
...
Mi You patted the bed board again. The bed board sounded like it had two layers, and there was another layer inside.
As he got closer to the bed board, the scent became stronger. He found the location of the mechanism and opened the bed board with force——
There was a woman lying there, the corpse of Banmei.
Her face was pale, and the fact that the body had not decomposed badly in such hot weather meant that she had not died for a long time, maybe it had happened in the past few days.
"Half plum girl!!!"
"Why are there two half-plum girls!"
"This half-plum girl... can she still survive if she is locked under the bed board?"
"This one is dead, dead!"
"Does the King know..."
The two people who were originally dumb suddenly became excited. Their angle was just right so they could see this side, and Miyou didn't avoid them, so they saw this scene clearly.
Mi You heard the word "King" and made some guesses about their identities. Upon seeing this, he said: "We found out that Banmei who left with us might have been impersonated, so we came back to find out the truth. Let's talk Well, who are you?"
Among them, the young man with single eyelids and small eyes looked a little depressed, even more depressed than he had been beaten by Mi You just now: "We were sent by King Changde to protect Miss Banmei."
Turns out he is from King Chang De?
Cheng Suisui widened his eyes and asked in surprise: "King Changde knows where Banmei lives?"
Miyou hummed and said, "The two said that King Changde knew that Banmei was here, but could not come to see her for various reasons, so he could only send people to secretly protect her safety."
"Does Banmei know?"
"When did Banmei die? How did she die? Whose child is it?"
Cheng Suisui asked his questions like a barrage of questions.
"Let King Chang De speak for himself about this matter," Mi You said, looking at Shen Xuan.
Shen Xuan asked Fu Cheng to go out to pick up someone. Fu Cheng went out suspiciously. As expected, there was a group of carriages and horses waiting outside. When Fu Cheng came out, the person in the carriage asked, "Are you here to see me?"
Fu Cheng scratched his head and said, "That's right, they say King Changde."
There was silence in the car for a second, and then the hearty laughter of King Changde came: "You people in the world are really strange."
King Changde got off the carriage, and the guards around him wanted to follow him, but he raised his hand to stop him.
"You are no match for him. If they want to kill me, you are just a mantis. This inn is small, so you can wait below."
"Your Majesty—" the guard shouted worriedly.
Fu Cheng walked a few steps and saw that he didn't follow, so he turned around and said, "Your Majesty, please bring your bodyguards with you. It is their duty to protect you even if you are defeated."
King Changde said: "Then take one with you. Let's go. I'm a little... nervous."
The manager of the inn was dozing on the table, and the waiter didn't dare to come forward to disturb them when they saw how popular they were. King Chang De looked at the stairs, but he felt a sense of cowardice in his hometown.
He is about to see his and Banmei's child...
