"A bunch of trash!"
Wu Shifeng, the leader of the Sky Poison Sect, was furious, "I was attacked by a sneak attack as soon as I stepped forward!" The forbidden area in the back mountain was brightly lit, and the gatekeeper disciples fell to their knees.
"Reporting to the sect leader, we found a robber cave leading to the cliff behind the mountain. The robber has escaped." A disciple found a hidden cave in the corner, passing through it to the cliff behind the mountain.
"Can you see what the thief looks like?"
"Reporting to the sect leader, a white mouse jumped out. I couldn't see it very clearly. It's a man in black, his face is covered, so I don't know his true appearance."
Sima Lin followed an elder from the Sky Poison Sect to inspect the damage in the forbidden cave, and he beat his chest and said angrily: "Not a single plant of the spiritual herbs is left, and besides..."
"Say!" Wu Shifeng said anxiously.
"The colorful eggs were also stolen."
"puff!"
Wu Shifeng spurted out a mouthful of old blood, and more than ten years of hard work was completely robbed. Fortunately, the operation has not started yet, and the spiritual herbs needed later have not been delivered yet, otherwise it would be a waste of time.
"It doesn't matter if the colorful eggs are lost. It doesn't matter if the colorful phoenix-tailed chickens are still there." As the leader of a sect, Wu Shifeng was better than ordinary people in both mind and means. After recovering from his anger, he issued orders one after another.
"Search for traces of thieves all around and dig three feet into the ground to find them. They are wanted in the whole city!"
"Additional personnel will be deployed to strictly guard the forbidden area, and not even a fly will be let go."
The disciples accepted the order and went to carry it out one after another. Wu Shifeng said to Sima Lin and an elder with a dark face: "Collect another batch of medicinal materials. The plan remains unchanged and everything remains as usual."
"I'm afraid we won't be able to find the second colorful egg in a short time." This is what Sima Lin is most worried about. It is extremely difficult for colorful phoenix-tailed chickens to lay eggs. It is not only related to their own energy, but also depends on their mood. The last one was made after exhausting all kinds of eggs. The secret method stimulated the birth, so the vitality was severely damaged and could not withstand another torture.
Wu Shifeng asked: "Do we have to use eggs?"
"Yes, the egg is the essence, otherwise the effect will be greatly reduced." Sima Lin explained: "If the colorful chicken had not been robbed..."
Extracting enough colorful eggs to extract the essence can have the same effect as the seven-colored eggs, but they were robbed during that attack, and the Sima Mansion did not have enough colorful eggs stored.
Otherwise, there is no need to go deep into the primitive mountains and pay a huge price to catch the colorful phoenix.
Wu Shifeng understood what Sima Lin meant and gritted his teeth and said: "Try the secret method again. As long as you refine the Ascension Pill, you won't be afraid of them coming to your door!"
For the Ascension Pill, Wu Shifeng would do anything, not caring about the life or death of a colorful phoenix-tailed chicken.
Sima Lin asked solemnly: "Are you really afraid of killing the colorful phoenix-tailed chicken?" The colorful phoenix-tailed chicken is already intelligent and will not be killed for unknown reasons!
Wu Shifeng nodded firmly, Sima Lin waved his long sleeves, and said as if he were dead: "Okay, let's bet this once!"
When he returned to the inn, it was already dawn. He felt the scent of a master inside through the door. Ling Han paused and pushed the door open.
A young man, wearing white armor and carrying a long bow, stood in front of the window and turned around when he heard the door open.
"Inspector Fan Lei?" Ling Han didn't understand why he was waiting for him in his room.
"We meet again."
"What's the matter?" Because of the Third Prince, Ling Han didn't want to have anything to do with the empire's minions, so he calmly asked, "I don't think I've violated the city's rules or any national laws, right?"
Fan Lei did not speak directly, but said bluntly in a cold voice: "A killer came to visit last night."
"Oh?" He could use his toes to figure out who hired the killer. Even if he accidentally went out, he could still escape a vicious fight. So he sat down leisurely, set up the cups, poured two cups of tea, and made a gesture of invitation.
Fan Lei hesitated for a moment, then sat across from Ling Han. Ling Han took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, stared at Fan Lei and said, "As a patrol officer, this is your responsibility."
"I have sent people to search for him, but to no avail. However, one person was shot by me."
"Brother Fan has been here all morning and I'm afraid that's not all he has to say." Xingmanyuan met Yi Bin once when he had a conflict at the back door of Xingmanyuan, but he didn't know him very well.
"Who else is Brother Mu's enemy besides Yi Bin?" Fan Lei asked directly.
"Well, the entire Sky Poison Sect has a grudge against me, even the royal family of your empire." Shi Lei would not let Ling Han go, so he spoke without hesitation. Anyway, his family lived in seclusion in the mountains, so he didn't know Which country is he from, so he is not necessarily from the Tianfu Empire.
"No matter who it is, the Sky Poison Sect is the most suspected. They have been doing evil things in this land of fish and meat. I want to give the people a stable Jingcheng." Fan Lei clenched his fists and shot out two rays of light from his eyes, saying resolutely.
"I'm worried about the people, I admire you!" Zhuge Qiu applauded and pushed the door open.
Seeing an officer in the room, he clasped his fists in salute and said, "I'm Zhugeqiu. I hope you'll forgive me for interrupting the conversation between the two of you."
Ling Han glanced at him and said, "This is Fan Lei. We are discussing important matters. Could Brother Zhuge give me some advice?"
The corners of Zhuge Qiu's mouth twitched and he didn't talk nonsense. He sat aside and listened quietly.
"So you're just waiting here all night to get some clues, or are you kind enough to help me eliminate hidden dangers?"
"Brother Mu can understand this, do you want to cooperate?" Fan Lei analyzed: "To be honest, many people have disappeared in recent days, and we suspect it is related to the Sky Poison Sect."
Ling Han was shocked. Could it be that the people in the deep pit on the edge of the cliff were all the people around Jincheng? Although there were turmoil in his heart, he still said calmly and calmly: "What does Brother Fan want to say?"
"Eradicate the Sky Poison Sect and rid the world of evil!"
"Haha, the Sky Poison Sect has been standing for more than two hundred years. It has a strong foundation and many masters. How can Brother Fan bring it down? The Imperial Cavalry?" Ling Han couldn't help but smile when he heard Fan Lei's heroic ambition.
Fan Lei said quietly: "We naturally can't compete with them, and the empire will not send troops to sweep them away." His voice changed, "The world has its own methods."
"In that case, why bother telling me." Ling Han didn't understand why Fan Lei said this to him. Was it just because he had a grudge against the Sky Poison Sect that he dragged him on board?
"I appreciate that Brother Mu is so upright and unafraid of power. I take the liberty to ask Brother Mu to participate in the martial arts test in a few days and serve the empire!" Fan Lei finally revealed the true purpose of his trip.
"Is that so?" Ling Han was a little confused, recruiting him to serve the empire? It's ridiculous that the third prince sent people to hunt him down. "I said, maybe you are my enemies."
"I think Brother Mu is unwilling to enmity with the empire."
"That's impossible to say."
"No matter what happens in the future, now we have a common enemy." Back to the original topic, what does this guy mean?
Zhuge Qiu drank tea silently, without saying a word. After Fan Lei left, Ling Han asked, "Brother Zhuge, what did Fan Lei mean by what he said today?"
"In my opinion, he has taken a fancy to your potential." Zhuge Qiu said: "Fan Lei, almost all the people in Qicheng know him. Like you and me, he came from a poor family and served as a patrol officer in the city lord's mansion. Jingcheng.”
Ling Han asked: "Oh, I would like to hear the details."
"That year, there was a heavy snowfall in Jincheng. Fan Lei came to the city carrying his old mother who was seriously ill. He spent all his money but could not cure her. The people of Jincheng saw that he was pitiful, and every family contributed effort or money to help him take care of his funeral. "
"Later, he had a conflict with the disciples of the Sky Poison Sect, and the city lord took him in. His ability was enough to serve as a captain of thousands in the army, but he was willing to be a patrol officer in Qingcheng, leading ten soldiers to guard Jingcheng day and night."
"This is his idea of dealing with injustices and maintaining the stability and peace of Jincheng. In the past two years, everyone can see what he has done for Jincheng, and he is deeply loved by the people."
