Controlling the Snake: Provoking the Evil Lord

Lu Wushuang quickly opened the window of the room, and then pretended to be unconscious and lay on the ground.

The fragrance in the room hadn't dissipated yet, and the dizzy Lu Wu raised his hands to his lips and bit them tightly, using the pain to keep his head clear.

Her dark eyes were half-closed, staring at the position under the bed.

I saw a movable wooden board under the bed being pushed away, and the innkeeper and the waiter waiter crawled out from under the bed with a black face mask covering their faces, revealing only a pair of thieves' eyes.

"Xiaosi, you carry the man lying on the ground. As for the big belly woman on the bed, if it is heavier, I will carry it to me who is stronger."

The shopkeeper's figure was indeed tall, and as soon as he said the words, the waiter boy named Xiaosi dared to answer angrily.

"Yes." But he despised the shopkeeper extremely in his heart. He said so much, didn't he just want to carry the big belly woman to receive the merits.

Little Si reluctantly walked towards Lu Wushuang who was lying on the ground. When he bent down and stretched out his hands to pick up Lu Wushuang, the half-closed eyes of Lu Wushuang who was lying on the ground suddenly opened, showing an invisible murderous aura. It shot out from the dark pupils.

With the clarity in her mind, she quickly raised her leg and kicked Xiao Si fiercely.

"Ouch." The unsuspecting Xiao Si was kicked to the ground, hit his head on the edge of the table in the house, and knocked a bag.He covered his painful head and shouted to the shopkeeper who was about to pick up the vanilla: "Second brother, this man is a woman in disguise. She is still awake and has not been fascinated by Mixiang."

"Useless things." The shopkeeper called the second brother walked over, the scent in the room was almost gone, and Lu Wushuang exuded a strong murderous aura all over her body. She got up from the ground, and with a thought, an extra handful appeared in her hand out of thin air. The dagger, this dagger was exactly the one that Beitangye brought from the secret room.

She held the dagger in her hand and stabbed at the second brother in the fourth mouth.

Mastering the stick, but aiming for the yard.

Lu Wushuang, who was holding a dagger, just approached the tall shopkeeper. With a wave of the shopkeeper's plain hand, white powder sprayed towards Lu Wushuang's face.

"Drugged, damned drugged."

Lu Wushuang, who suffered another dark loss, only had time to curse in a low voice, his eyes darkened, the dagger in his hand fell to the ground, and he fell backwards.

"Unexpectedly, this woman is quite beautiful. She looks like a fairy, and she has a good figure. She is just a warm bed for the palace master."

The light moonlight slanted in from the window, and it happened to shine on the unconscious Lu Wushuang's beautiful Qingcheng's face, covering it with a faint silver light, making her Qingcheng's face look even more beautiful.

The shopkeeper stretched out his hand to support Lu Wushuang who fell backwards, looking at her beautiful face like a fairy, his eyes sparkled.He carried Lu Wushuang on his shoulders and walked towards the door of the room.When he got to the door, he turned his head and shouted to Xiaosi: "It's cheap for you, kid, I'll let you carry it."

overlooking the city.

Ten days ago.

It took five full days to search the entire city of Tiaocheng, even the surrounding rural towns, but there was still no news of Lu Wushuang.

Standing in front of the desk, Bei Tangye was anxious, angry and worried, and his dark eyes were bloodshot.

"Shuang girl, where did you go, why did you leave without saying goodbye?"

When bored, Tie Yi hurried into the study.

"Any news?" Bei Tangye would ask the same question every time he saw Tie Yi walk into the study.

Tie Yi shook his head, he couldn't bear to see the disappointed expression on Bei Tangye's face.

"My lord, the emperor sent someone to send you into the palace."

"Understood." Bei Tangye took a deep breath, put away his disappointed expression, and walked out of the study.

Walked to the front hall, and entered the palace in a carriage with the palace people.

Royal study.

Bei Tanglie was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, with domineering eyebrows, sitting in front of the desk reviewing memorials. At the age of 30, he was in his prime, with bright eyes and a radiant spirit.

"Your Majesty, Prince Qi is here, and he will be waiting outside the imperial study." Xiao Quanzi, the personal eunuch, bowed and reported.

"Biography." Bei Tanglie continued to review the memorial without raising his head.

Xiao Quanzi replied, turned around and walked out of the imperial study, leading Beitang Ye in.

"My brother has met the emperor." Bei Tangye saluted.With a haggard face and bloodshot eyes, he was in stark contrast to Bei Tanglie's energetic appearance.

"Ye, I haven't seen you for a few days, why are you so haggard? Could it be that you were abandoned by the woman you like?" Bei Tanglie put down the wolf hair in his hand, raised his head, and was shocked to see the haggard Beitang Ye.

Bei Tangye smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Huang really got what he said, and my brother was indeed dumped by her."

"What's going on?" Bei Tanglie raised his eyebrows and asked with interest.

"I don't know what the reason is. She didn't say a word, left without saying goodbye, and completely disappeared in Tiaocheng." Bei Tangye's expression was gloomy, as if he had lost his soul, unable to raise his mind.

"You didn't send someone to find her?"

"Why didn't I find it? Even the hidden guards were dispatched, but five days have passed, but there is no news at all." Bei Tangye sighed after finishing speaking.

"It seems that this woman is quite capable of being able to escape the pursuit of the hidden guards you personally trained. I am very interested in meeting her, do you need Brother Huang to help you?" Bei Tanglie's eyes Glittering with interest.

Bei Tangye shook his head, "My own woman, I will find her myself."

After a pause, Bei Tangye changed the subject and turned to the business, "Brother Emperor, what is the matter that you sent someone to send your younger brother into the palace?"

"Come over and have a look, this is the booklet sent by the magistrate of Youzhou in [-] miles." Bei Tanglie took out a memorial from the desk and handed it to Bei Tangye who walked in front of the case.

Bei Tangye took the memorial and quickly browsed through it, frowning more and more tightly, "How could such a thing happen?"

"I never imagined that in the Beitiao country under my rule, such a cruel thing would happen. A pregnant woman would be taken away, disemboweled and her child taken, and then the body would be thrown into the wilderness." Bei Tanglie looked dignified, With a sigh, "Ye, twenty or thirty pregnant women have disappeared in a row in Youzhou Realm. This matter is very serious. I want you to go to Youzhou yourself to investigate this matter secretly."

"It is the obligatory duty of the younger brother to share the worries of the emperor, but I don't know when the emperor wants the younger brother to go?" Bei Tangye put the finished memorial on the imperial case and asked.

"People in Youzhou are in panic right now, especially for families with pregnant women. So I hope you leave today." Bei Tanglie said with a frown.

"Your brother understands. After leaving the palace for a while, I will rush to Youzhou immediately. It's just that the queen mother is there. I'm afraid I can't pay her respects to the old lady these days. I would like to ask the emperor to help pass the message."

"Don't worry, I will go to Changle Palace in person and tell the queen mother after the memorial has been reviewed."

"Then I will take my leave first."

Beitang Ye gave a bow, exited the imperial study room, and rushed out of the palace.

Back at Prince Qi's mansion, he simply packed his bags, took iron clothes, and a few hermit guards, and rushed all the way to Youzhou without stopping.

Half a month's journey was shortened by him to ten days.

As soon as he arrived at the Yamen of the prefect of Youzhou, Bei Tangye only rested for an hour. After eating, he went into the study with the prefect of Youzhou Chen Yuan to discuss the case.

"Prince Qi, most of these missing pregnant women are from the Heishanling area of ​​Youzhou. After being taken by caesarean section, the corpses were also thrown at the foot of the Heishanling Mountain in the Wild Wolf Valley. According to my humble opinion, the thieves must be hiding in the The Black Mountain area." Chen Yuan looked upright, and he didn't flirt with flattery just because Bei Tangye was the current king of Qi.

"Your analysis is very correct, then have you sent someone to investigate in Heishanling?" After reading the case file, Bei Tangye agreed with Chen Yuan's opinion.

"Xiaguan once sent people to investigate in Heishanling, but none of the people who went there came back. Later, Xiaguan didn't dare to send people again." Chen Yuan said solemnly.

"It seems that there is indeed a problem with Heishanling. Find some people who know the way, and set off for Heishanling at dawn tomorrow." Looking up at the sky outside, night has fallen, Bei Tangye decided to act again tomorrow .

"Okay, then I'll go find someone now." Chen Yuan walked out of the study, while Bei Tangye sat in front of the desk, tapping his fingers on the table, frowning, thinking about the problem.

On the second day, as soon as the sun came out, Bei Tangye took the iron clothes, several hermit guards and a guide, Fang Da, and set off for Heishanling.However, Chen Yuan wanted to go with him, but Bei Tangye left him in the yamen of the prefect of Youzhou.

A hundred miles east of Youzhou City is Heishanling.Speeding up the horse, Bei Tangye and his party only took half a day to reach the foot of the Black Mountain.

Looking up, the Black Mountains are rolling and steep.

"Is there anyone around here?" Bei Tangye reined in the horse's reins and turned to ask Fang Da, the guide who rode the horse beside him.

Fang Da shook his head, "There is no one here, it's just a dilapidated inn."

"The inn, take me to have a look."

The group of people rode their horses and galloped towards the only inn under the Black Mountain.

Half an hour later, the group arrived at the inn at the foot of Heishanling Mountain. This inn was exactly the one where Lu Wushuang and Xiang Cao lived before.

At this time, the inn lobby was still deserted, the tall shopkeeper lying on the counter drowsy, while the waiter Xiaosi sat by the table, staring at the direction of the gate in a daze.

After seeing Bei Tangye and his group enter the inn, the shopkeeper and Xiao Si smiled, but there was no enthusiasm in their eyes. It was not as hot as seeing the slightly protruding vanilla yesterday.

"Several guests, this shop has authentic wild pheasant, wild rabbit meat, and wild pork. I wonder what the guests would like to order?" After Bei Tangye and his group sat down, Xiaosi asked.The same words, but less enthusiasm.

"One serving of everything, and a jug of wine." Bei Tangye said.

"Guest officers, wait a moment, the food will be served soon." Xiao Er walked through the back hall and ran to the kitchen in the backyard.

In front of the counter, the shopkeeper stopped dozing off even if he was disturbed.He sat up straight, looked at Bei Tangye and his group, and saw that they had strange faces and foreign accents, they didn't look like locals, and guessed that they might just be passers-by passing by.

The shopkeeper let go of his guard, and took out a dagger engraved with a double-headed snake pattern from the drawer in front of the counter, and started to play with it.
