Villain: Master And Sister, Please

Occupy Fangcheng.

Located in the northern part of Xizhou, due to the dry and cold climate, you can always see the scenery covered with frost and snow every morning.

The wind whistled against the windows of the carriage. The two horses were affected by the temperature deviation from south to north, and their speed also slowed down a lot.

The main reason why Lin Heng did not choose to fly with a sword was that the journey was too long. If he was allowed to fly with a sword, it would consume a lot of physical strength and he would have to stop midway to replenish his energy.

It is difficult to reach the destination in ten days.

There were five Qi-training monks guarding the outside of the city gate. There were not many people coming in and out of the south city gate.

After Lin Heng explained his intention, the guards did not stop him. One of them even led them directly to the City Lord's Mansion.

Because it's early morning.

The streets have been covered with frost and dew, and a thin layer of ice has formed on the road surface. The cold wind makes a creaking sound when you step on it.

Most of the houses in the city are wooden buildings with roofs covered with red glazed tiles. The streets are narrow and intricate. Although there are few people in the morning, there are also people carrying burdens and selling goods.

It was so cold that most people put on long clothes.

It is indeed a secular world, and the market is full of incense.

The white clothes worn by Lin Heng and the thin black skirt worn by Jiang Caiyan were still quite strange in the eyes of these ordinary people.

"Two immortals, the four-story wild goose pagoda in front of you is the city lord's palace. The younger one still needs to guard the city gate, so I won't send you two there."

Lin Heng waved his hand, "Yes."

"Please untie the rope for me. It will be embarrassing to see people like this."

"Oh? I feel embarrassed. It's okay... I'll leave some noodles for you and treat it as fun after tying the fairy rope, but the premise is that you can't have other thoughts."

"When I need your help, you have to help me. How many corpses you can pick up depends on how hard you work."

Lin Heng untied the rope from her hand and put it back into the storage bag.

In the wild goose pagoda, there was a scene of singing and dancing. The master of the palace was admiring the beautiful lady's dance when he saw the housekeeper from downstairs rushing up.

"Master, it's not good! There are two immortal masters coming outside. They are waiting for you downstairs."

"Immortal Master? What Immortal Master?"

At the mention of the arrival of immortal cultivators, the palace master was so shocked that he immediately stood up, signaled for the singing and dancing to stop, immediately put on his clothes and walked downstairs.

After learning about Lin Heng's identity and their purpose of coming, his face was full of sadness and joy.

What worries me is that the central government of the dynasty is extremely dissatisfied with Zhanfang City. It is a trivial matter for him to lose his hat. If he is involved in something, he may not even be alive.

Fortunately, the dynasty still had room for him and was able to ask the disciples of the Qingxuan Sect to help.

He originally thought that Zhanfang City was remote and not many monks would be willing to come, but he didn't expect that two large disciples would come when he arrived.

"Bilian, go quickly and get a pot of hot tea for the two immortals!"

"Two Immortals, don't rush into the investigation. There are some things that can't be explained in just a few words. Please wait for me to explain in detail."

After a while, the hot tea was brought out and placed in front of the two of them.

"Don't worry about the tea. Master Chen, I'm just a little curious now about why the dynasty's missing special envoy can raise the danger level to Level C.

As you can see, I got a Class C mission order. This is a mission level assigned by the dynasty. I can’t imagine what danger there would be in finding a missing person. "

Hearing this, Master Chen's expression suddenly changed. He waved his hand to signal everyone around him to move away, and then slowly said: "Shangxian, you don't know something. The origin of this special envoy is not trivial. This 'Hucheng Gate Envoy' is He is a member of the Third Division of the Imperial Capital, and was ordered by the Supreme Lord to patrol the northern frontier of Xizhou."

"When the special envoy team arrived at Zhanfang City, Wang Sishou from the Criminal Division Mansion and I went out of the city to greet them. Originally, this should be a good thing for Zhanfang City. After all, the environment here is very poor... If we can let the special envoy Communicate what you see and hear to the Supreme.

At the very least, he could get a support subsidy from the superiors, but the special envoy disappeared just four months ago. "

"Hiss..." Lin Heng was stunned for a moment after hearing this, "The disappearance case four months ago? It's time to handle it now, isn't it a joke!?

Also... Didn't you just say that the special envoy left the city-state and went south? Even if he is dead, he should have nothing to do with you for four months. "

"Oh! Master, please listen to me. This is the strangest thing. It's like seeing a ghost. At that time, the special envoy was accompanied by a group of followers, a total of twelve people. I remember it clearly."

"That night, the special envoy took the people to stay at Fengyue Inn, which was arranged by my steward. However, at dawn the next day, the guards in the south of the city were alerted, saying that the special envoy was preparing to leave, and asked them not to inform me.

At that time, the number of people counted was thirteen, and the sky was hazy, so the guards didn't make much distinction and let them leave. "

"However, the most bizarre thing happened at this time..."

Palace Master Chen swallowed and seemed to be frightened. He paused for a long time before continuing to speak.

"In the early morning of that day, the manager of Fengyue Inn hurriedly ran to the Criminal Division's Mansion to report that the dynasty's special envoy was missing."

Lin Heng frowned slightly, a little confused, "Everyone has left the city, so it's weird to still see him."

"No, no, no! The same thing happened to Wang Sishou and I at that time. We thought the shopkeeper was confused. Who knew he would tell us next that the special envoy had never left the inn at all.

Or the waiter noticed that the door was wrong and it was locked inside, so he broke in and found that the person was missing. "

Palace Master Chen briefly explained the situation.

At that time, Fengyue Inn was still a newly opened inn.

The shopkeeper is an honest man. After learning that a special envoy was coming to stay, he directly arranged for a wing room of the highest specification.

The accommodation arrangement at that time was that the special envoy would be on the third floor, and the remaining twelve attendants would all be on the second floor.

The entire inn was empty and no guests were accepted. The innkeeper and the waiter checked the accounts until dawn and never left.

At dawn, the twelve followers did come down from the upstairs.

The shopkeeper and the waiter thought they were all going to get up at night, so they didn't think much about it... Anyway, there were maids waiting on the third floor, and the special envoy would talk to them if they needed anything.

As a result, the maid stayed on the third floor and the envoy never left.

In other words, only the twelve followers around the special envoy left at that time.

"At first, Chief Wang and I just thought that the shopkeeper was dazzled and did not take this matter to heart. Until two months ago, Heran City, which was going south, could not wait for the special envoy to arrive, so he sent people to patrol the north. look.

This turned out to be a good thing, as the twelve followers died on the 'Xianfang Mountain'.

The special envoy's body was not found at that time. Combined with what the shopkeepers said, the explanation we reported to the dynasty was: the person disappeared in Zhanfang City! "

After this explanation, not only Lin Heng felt weird.

Even Jiang Caiyan, who was not interested at all, suddenly became energetic.

This 'disappearance' is quite interesting and quite 'suspense'

Thirteen people left the city, but only twelve people left the inn.

If both the city guard and the innkeeper counted correctly,

Isn’t it like seeing a ghost now?

"Okay, I probably know. Take me to Fengyue Inn tomorrow."

"It's no problem to go to the immortal. How about you two staying in the Chen Mansion? This way, if there are any problems or needs, we can directly mobilize people from the City Lord's Mansion."

Faced with this proposal, Lin Hengli thought about it. The main purpose of his mission this time was to deal with the city lord's mansion.

Staying here is undoubtedly the best choice, and it will also make it easier for him to understand this strange disappearance case.

But he still asked:

"Is there a hot spring where you can take a bath? It would be best for two people..."

Jiang Caiyan:?
