Chapter 871 Locked on the target

Something happened to Miss Asui?

What could happen to her?

Lu Mingyu and Chang Sun Tao looked at each other.

Ah Liu came closer and said: "Master, Princess, Ah Da was ordered by the master to follow and protect Miss Ah Sui. Today, Miss Ah Sui ran away in anger. Seeing that Mr. Xie didn't come to find him, she simply went to earn money to vent her anger. ”

"Just now, when Miss Asui was passing through the alley, a thick fog suddenly appeared. Ah Da realized the danger and jumped into the thick fog. But the narrow alley was like an endless vast world, and Ah Da could not find it. When we got to Miss Asui, when the thick fog cleared, there was only one bloody shoe left, which belonged to Miss Asui."

"Ada searched nearby for half an hour, but could not find Miss Asui, so she had to come back to report the news."

No wonder Ah Liu was so panicked, fogging at night is a very strange thing in itself, not to mention that Ah Da even entered the alley, and finally saw only a bloody shoe left at the scene.

Lu Mingyu frowned, got up and fetched a book from the bookcase, rummaged through it, and found a strange explanation in it.

For things related to fog, there is a legend of mirage in Da Qin.

And Izumo has countless of them.

It is said that there is a kind of monster in Izumo, which is filled with mist wherever it passes. It feeds on women and favors the bodies of young and beautiful women. When it sees its target, it will release mist and abduct the person, often leaving only Some of the victims carried blood-stained items.

When Changsun Tao saw her rummaging through these weird and mysterious letters, he couldn't help but pinch her face and said: "You've been pregnant for three years and you've been stupid. I want you to stop reading these weird things. If you don’t listen, now you want to classify Nangong Suisui’s disappearance into a legend about gods and monsters?”

Since meeting Miss Hiyori, Lu Mingyu has become curious about Izumo, a country said to have 800 million gods.

Driven by curiosity, she collected some notes about Izumo, and ended up accidentally immersed in the world of Hyakki Yakou, and became deeply fascinated by Izumo.

After hearing Chang Sun Tao's words, she silently put away the notebook that recorded the folk legends, and said: "I don't want to use bizarre legends to explain the disappearance of Miss Asui. The legends are based on reality. I just want to find out. There is something in Izumo." There is no weird trick like creating thick fog.”

"Ling." Changsun Tao called, and after Ling's figure appeared, he ordered, "Go and protect Mr. Xie."

After Ling left, Changsun Tao continued to instruct Ah Liu, saying: "Don't act rashly, please. Let Ah Da stay in the house. Don't go to any stronghold, and don't move around easily. Call Xue Wei by the way."

After Ah Liu also left, Changsun Tao frowned and pondered for a long time, then said, "Yan Yan's first instinct is that this matter is related to Izumo?"

Lu Mingyu nodded: "The first instinct is yes, but when I think about it carefully, it doesn't make sense. Izumo is going to attack Miss Asui, sooner or later. Why now? There's something weird about this."

Lu Mingyu said: "I also have the ability to create fog. I can use some special medicinal powder. Then I only need to mix some drugs into the fog to temporarily block people's sense of smell, and it can be fake."

Changsun Tao said: "The ability to create fog can be completely achieved by Izumo Hermit. On the surface, this seems to be done by Izumo Hermit, but I thought of another person."

Lu Mingyu and Chang Sun Tao said at the same time: "Yu Qian!"

Yes, Yu Qian had the medical book that his grandfather had devoted his whole life to. It was easy to create a mist.

And they were able to make this judgment only because they followed previous clues.

They had suspected that the person behind King Wu was Yu Qian, and had been paying attention to the movements of these two people.

Then he waited for the opportunity, and when he took the initiative to communicate with Yu Qian behind the palace of King Wu, he took them all together, and then implicated King Wu and Yu Qian in their previous serious crimes of collaborating with the enemy, so that both of them would get the punishment they deserve.

Recently, their people have discovered that Yu Qian is actually a little abnormally quiet, and they imagine that Yu Qian is secretly planning something.

After the incident with Miss Asui, they immediately locked their eyes on him.

Maybe he wanted to provoke a conflict between Prince Qi's palace and Izumo.

Xue Wei came and saluted and said hello.

Changsun Tao said: "Did you notice anything abnormal when Ah Da came back?"

Xue Wei said: "Back to my lord, when Ah Da came back, he had a smell on his body. This smell is very familiar to me."

"In the past, when I was working in the fields, there was a kind of grass that would produce thick smoke when it was burned. The smoke would carry this smell, and I would not be able to smell it wrong."

"Because no one would burn that kind of grass in a place like the capital, so my subordinates noticed it immediately."

Changsun Tao nodded: "Okay, you go down first!"

After Xue Wei left, Lu Mingyu said, "I'll go to my second brother's place to have a look."

Changsun Tao said: "No need, he is here."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Yun was pushed in. When there were only three people left in the room and the outside of the room was surrounded by secret guards, Xie Yun stood up from the wheelchair.

In fact, Xie Yun was indeed severely beaten several times by Nangong Suisui, but the top master in Prince Qi's palace was not a porcelain doll, and naturally it would not break with just a touch, so his severed hands and feet were completely fake.

When Miss Hihe insisted that Xie Yun was her fiancé, they deliberately guarded against Izumo, so when Nangong Suisui beat him violently, Xie Yun naturally "broke it off"

Hands and legs.

"Zhaohua, Ah Sui..."

Changsun Tao reassured: "We all know, don't worry yet."

Lu Mingyu asked him: "Miss Asui is very skilled in martial arts. If there is something strange around her, she will definitely notice it. Has she mentioned to you recently that she has encountered unusual things?"

Xie Yun pinched her eyebrows: "Yu'er, you also know her. She is always rude and irritable. Ever since Miss Hihe appeared, her whole person has been like a volcano, exploding at any time. She and I can't even say a few complete words. "How do I know if anything has happened to her?" Lu Mingyu rolled her eyes at him: "That's your fault. You don't care much about others. Since you are not satisfied with Miss Asui, then simply stop looking for her. I don’t think the Nangong family should do anything to you.”

"The most poisonous heart of a woman!" Xie Yun sat on the chair, opened the fan and kept fanning the wind. It was obvious that she was very anxious.

Lu Mingyu didn't understand his habit of fanning himself in the middle of winter, so he didn't mean to tease him, so he kept his words on topic.

"Zhaohua and I suspect that Yu Qian took Miss Asui away under the guise of Izumo, but it has not been verified yet."

Changsun Tao said: "You came just in time. If it is confirmed that it was Yu Qian who did it, you should go and save the person first."

Lu Mingyu said: "I'll recruit Hui Hui first."

Lu Mingyu took out his short whistle and called Hui Hui.

Because Lu Mingyu was pregnant, she rarely had contact with them.

Huihui had been separated from his master for a long time, but he didn't feel any happiness about meeting again after a long separation. He looked at Lu Mingyu reluctantly, as if blaming Lu Mingyu for disturbing him from spending time with his wife.

Lu Mingyu patted the gray buttocks, and it twisted its chubby body and left.

Changsun Tao glanced at Xie Yun, who nodded and followed Hui Hui.

Things happened too frequently recently, and the couple was so tired that they didn't get much rest.

Lu Mingyu was sitting at the table, placing cups, and suddenly said: "Zhaohua, I have an idea."

The night fell heavily, and candles were lit in the room, but it felt dim. A pot of charcoal was burning brightly, and the red light illuminated every inch of the room.

Lu Mingyu's eyes were as bright as stars, and she met Changsun Tao's inquiring gaze. Her beautiful eyes moved, and she said with a smile: "If it is really confirmed that Miss Asui's disappearance is related to Yu Qian, and he wants to provoke a conflict between us and Izumo, then we will do the same You can also use Izumo to suppress him."

Changsun Tao smiled knowingly: "We don't have time to wait for Xie Yun to return, I'll go right away."

Lu Mingyu took off his cloak and put it on him: "Be careful in everything."

Changsun Tao nodded, led Ada and Xue Wei to the post house where Izumo stayed, and met Izumo's envoy.

This is not their first meeting, because the envoy in front of them also went to Da Qin many years ago.

"His Royal Highness King Qi." The envoy saluted and greeted him in broken Qin dialect.

Miss Hiyori sat behind her father, lowered her head, and asked softly in a gentle voice: "Your Highness is leaking fluid, what's the matter?"

Changsun Tao made a gesture, and a bloody shoe was presented to the envoy by Ada.

"These are the shoes of the fiancée of Prince Qi's Palace Chief Shi Xie Yun. Just an hour ago, she was kidnapped by a hermit. My people couldn't find her, so I had to come to find you."

As Miss Hiyori relayed more and more content, the envoy's expression became quite ugly. He pressed his knees and bowed his head in salute: "Your Highness, King Qi, this matter was not our fault."

Miss Hiyori continued to explain: "Your Highness, King Qi, although the hermit technique is unique to Izumo, people from many countries go to Izumo to learn it. Your Highness cannot conclude that someone is from Izumo just because someone was kidnapped by the hermit. What you did.”

Changsun Tao laughed softly, but his eyes were on the envoy: "Sir, I believe that the person is the one who caused the Izumo Tribulation, so I naturally have the relevant evidence. I did not present the evidence to the emperor, but led two of his men to the throne. I came here to ask for someone because of my past friendship."

Miss Rihe relayed Chang Sun Tao's words, and the envoy's face became particularly ugly.

Chang Sun Tao stood up: "Three days, I will give you three days. If you do not hand over my people, you will take your people and leave Da Qin forever."

Miss Hiyori nodded slightly: "Your Highness, this is a bit overwhelming."

Changsun Tao said quietly: "Do you have any opinions?"

Miss Hiyori relayed his words, and the envoy put his hands on his legs again: "Your Highness, I will do my best."

Changsun Tao nodded slightly and left the post house.

Returning to Prince Qi's Mansion, Changsun Tao did not rush to Zhizhiju, but first took a serious bath in the soup pool of Muwuju.

"Xue Wei, did you find anything unusual?" Changsun Tao asked him.

Xue Wei thought about it carefully several times and said seriously: "I have never found that everything is normal in the post house."

Changsun Tao put a hot towel on his forehead: "I asked you to listen to the heartbeats of the envoy and his daughter. What can you hear?"

Xue Wei shook his head: "Your Majesty, the envoy and his daughter only had their hearts beat faster for a moment when you asked them to make friends with you. That is a reaction that occurs when people are nervous or excited."

Changsun Tao said: "Okay, I understand. After I have washed, you and Ada will also wash. You must be more serious. There are many evil arts in Izumo that our Great Qin cannot understand. To be on the safe side, Bubble This natural hot spring water.”

After bathing, Changsun Tao asked Ada to burn the clothes he had just worn, and went to Zhizhiju wearing only his pajamas and a fox fur coat.

Lu Mingyu was sitting under the lamp reading a book. When he saw him come back, his wet hair was still filled with a faint heat, and he couldn't help but scolded: "It's cold outside, so I'm not afraid of catching a cold."

Changsun Tao took off his cloak, pulled off the towel from the shelf, and sat on the stove to wipe his hair: "Yan Yan, I have a feeling that I have no control over Izuyun's matter and Xie Yun's matter."

Lu Mingyu closed the book and looked at him seriously: "Huh?"
