Horse on the World

Chapter 673 Missing
There were only a few simple lines in the letter, but Li Qing felt as if struck by lightning, his hands trembling slightly, and he slowly sat down on the chair.

Luo Daoming saw Li Qing's complexion changed drastically, his fists were clenched tightly, veins were exposed in his hands, his face was a bit ferocious, and he was flustered for a while, so he gently took the piece of paper from Li Qing's hand.

"Shang Haibo from Chongxian county is missing. The minister and the commander-in-chief of the five armies have boldly imposed martial law in the whole prefecture, please return to Dingzhou city quickly, my lord!" The seals of Lu Yiming and Li Muzhi were stamped on the bottom of the letter paper.

With a bang, Luo Daoming's legs gave way and he almost fell to the ground, but it was Li Gan who was beside him who rushed up to help him, and then he stood still, with a trembling voice: "This, how is this possible, there is not only Chong The county took special care, and the Overwatch Council was heavily guarded, so why did he disappear?"

There was a deathly silence in the room, and the atmosphere was somewhat stagnant, with several pairs of eyes looking at Li Qing.After a while, Li Qing returned to normal, "It's not impossible, but it's already like this. Daoming, you go to Fuzhou Hailing for me, take the fast boat to the sea, and tell Yan Nanfei and Deng Peng that the fleet will not be available for the time being." Stop at Hailing and let them go back to Lianshan Island first. Let them come back when things are over here."

"Yes, my lord, how should I tell them?" Luo Daoming swallowed.

"Tell Yan Nanfei and Deng Peng the truth. As for how to tell the king of Zhou, you can figure it out for yourself, but you can't make them feel slighted or think that we are going to break the contract!" Li Qing said.

"Yes, I understand!"

"Let's go back to Dingzhou City!" Li Qing stood up and strode out.Li Gan and Iron Leopard were closely following each other, while outside, Li Wen led the personal guards ready to go.

The sound of thunderous hooves swept away like a whirlwind, Luo Daoming slowly shook his head looking at Li Qing's cavalry, who was out of sight.Shang Haibo, Shang Haibo, you have already taken a wrong step, if you make another mistake this time, you will really die without a place to bury your body.

Luo Daoming thinks that it is impossible for Shang Haibo to escape from Dingzhou. Chong County is deep inside Dingzhou, surrounded by all directions. No matter which direction you go, it is the Dingzhou control area thousands of miles deep. Where can he escape? go?Besides, why did he run away?

Luo Daoming couldn't figure it out.

There was a flurry of footsteps outside the post house, and Bao Shuwen rushed over in panic, "Ge Lao, Ge Lao, what happened?"

Luo Daoming waved his hand, "It's nothing, the commander-in-chief has something urgent to go back to Dingzhou City, you go to rest, since the commander-in-chief can't go to Hailing tomorrow, you don't have to follow."

Bao Shuwen showed a little disappointment on his face, and immediately calmed down. The commander returned to Dingzhou City overnight, and something must have happened. What happened, I am definitely not qualified to know what happened.He gave Luo Daoming a salute, and walked back unhappily.

Li Qing didn't go back to Dingzhou City, but went to Chong County by himself.At the same time, Lu Yiming, Yang Yidao and others were ordered to rush to Chong County, and his father Li Muzhi was fully responsible for Dingzhou City.

A few days later, when Li Qing appeared in Chongxian County with bloodshot eyes, the entire Chongxian County was under martial law. There were wild trails in the countryside and official roads, and groups of soldiers in full armor could be seen everywhere, with their eyes wide open. , staring at everyone on the road, the entire Chong County is only allowed to enter, not to exit.

The city of Chongxian County was even densely populated with soldiers, and special agents of the Overwatch Council in black uniforms could be seen everywhere, asking door to door.

Li Qing only fell asleep for a few hours on the way from Xinyang to Chongxian within a few days. The matter of Shang Haibo's disappearance was of great importance, because Shang Haibo, who had been in the core high-level office of Dingzhou, not only knew the situation of the entire Dingzhou Strategic deployment, and Dingzhou's military and internal affairs are well known. Once he absconds or falls into the enemy's hands, it will be disastrous for Dingzhou.

Li Qing couldn't figure it out. It wasn't long before we separated from Shang Haibo. The last time I saw him, I couldn't see anything special about Shang Haibo. He was still the same as before. He also couldn't feel that he was no longer the Shang Haibo of the past, but was still jumping and arguing with Li Qing. How could such a person run away?Or is this person a villainous fool, just fooling himself?
The old general's mansion is still the same, the trees planted in those years are now full of green trees, the stretched canopy covers the sky and the sun, and the long steps extend upwards in the forest.

As soon as Li Qing raised the reins, the horse under his crotch immediately stepped up. Behind him, Li Wen, Li Gan and others followed closely.

The entire General's Mansion has been surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside. As far as the eye can see, there are obviously dangling knives and guns.

Swinging the saddle off the horse, Li Qing stepped into the gate of the General's Mansion with a livid face.

Li Zonghua, Mingyan, Ji Sichen and other people from the Overwatch Council knew that Li Qing would arrive today, and they all gathered here early. You Xuzhi, the magistrate of Chongxian County, stood in the crowd with a mournful face as if he was mourning his concubine.

Seeing Li Qing, everyone fell to their knees with a crash.Li Qing glanced across and saw Li Zonghua who was kneeling in front of him. He let out a foul breath and reached out to help Li Zonghua up. He didn't even glance at the others, and strode towards the mansion.

Li Qing didn't say anything, Ming Yan and the others didn't dare to get up, they could only lie down on the ground deeply, feeling inexplicably anxious.Li Wen glanced at Li Qing's back, then looked at the officials kneeling on the ground, and sighed, "Everyone get up, the lord has already gone in, do you want the lord to come and invite you to get up? Tell me the whole story Think clearly, don't miss any details, the commander-in-chief will definitely summon you later." After speaking, Li Wen left everyone behind and walked into the house.

Li Qing strode into the lobby of the general's mansion. On the wall in the middle of the lobby, the middle hall written by himself and bestowed to Shang Haibo is still hanging there, "Both teachers and friends!" Li Qing Qing stared at this pair of her own handwriting, and suddenly felt that it was extremely dazzling.

Back then when I just came to this world, I was ignorant, except for some old memories, my eyes were darkened, and my only thought was how to survive, and it was Shang Haibo who, after arriving by my side, started Introduced everything about this continent to myself bit by bit, leading me out of Chong County step by step, and planning a layout for myself. In a few years, I have laid down a huge world. I am grateful for his contribution, so I wrote this A nave was given to him, but now the nave is still there, but the people are tiny!
"Master Lu, when will they arrive?"

Li Qing asked suddenly.

Li Zonghua responded behind him: "My lord, Mr. Lu, General Yang has been traveling day and night after receiving my lord's order, and is expected to arrive here in the afternoon!"

Li Qing turned around and stared at Li Zonghua, "When did this happen?"

Li Zonghua lowered his head, "Reporting to Commander-in-Chief, after hearing the news, the Overwatch Council dispatched a large number of people to inspect the scene. It is estimated that it was six days ago."

Li Qing let out a hey, "Okay, that's great. You Overwatch Council only knew what happened six days ago, six days ago. It's really amazing, amazing!" His voice rose sharply, and he shouted sharply: "This is still me. The Overwatch Council?"

Li Zonghua knelt down with a puff, "I deserve death for my crimes."

"Thousand deaths, ten thousand deaths, you only have one life, how can you die ten thousand times?" Li Qing yelled angrily, "Can you undo all this if you die?" With a bang, everything on it was knocked down.

"My lord, calm down!" Li Wen took a step forward. Li Zonghua was also the elder of the Li family. Seeing Li Zonghua kneeling in front of Li Qing and trembling slightly, Li Wen couldn't help but feel unbearable.But Li Zonghua is now the actual controller of the Overwatch Council, and it took six days before the incident was discovered. No matter what, this dereliction of duty is absolutely inevitable.

Li Qing looked at Li Zonghua kneeling in front of him with his head bowed, his gray hair was very conspicuous, he couldn't help but sighed: "Get up, tell me what happened?"

Hearing Li Qing's words, Li Wen dared to take a step forward and helped Li Zonghua up.

"The thing is like this!" Li Zonghua collected himself and began to speak.

six days ago.In the county government office of Chongxian County, after You Xuzhi finished his day's work, he and his master were going to a restaurant for a drink, but in front of the restaurant they ran into Lu Dingding, the head catcher of the county, and the three went in together. In the restaurant, half drunk, Lu must have smiled and said to You Xuzhi: "Master Xian, when I was patrolling the outskirts of the general's mansion today, I found that the special agent of the Overwatch Council there has changed again!"

"Changed?" You Xuzhi said in surprise, "Isn't that Lieutenant Mo?"

Lu must shake his head, "No, it's a face-to-face captain. I've never seen him before! I went up to say hello to him, but this new captain was very proud. He glanced at me, but he didn't even have a word. In a word, grandma, the captain of the Overwatch Council is amazing, he was sent here as a jailer, it shows that he is not a guy who is valued in the Overwatch Council, and he is so arrogant, this is in our land!"

"People in the Overwatch Council have always been like this!" You Xuzhi smiled and said, "There are very few people who are as approachable as Captain Mo before! We are only in charge of the periphery, and they are also here for secret missions, and they don't want to have too much contact with us." The entanglement is also understandable." At the moment, he didn't take it seriously.

Lu definitely shrugged, "Mr. Shang living with us is also a problem. I met Li Sixue from the school today, and he also complained to me. Mr. Shang went to teach in the school. Day after day, these days Even if he didn't go for a day, Li Sixue didn't dare to ask."

"Mr. Shang is a big shot. It would be nice if he could go. He has nothing to complain about. Tomorrow you tell Li Sixue and find another gentleman. Mr. Shang has gone, and Mr. Shang will teach him. If Mr. Shang didn't go, this one will be On the top, the expenses will be covered by the county."

You Xuzhi didn't care about it at the time, but after returning home, the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. No matter how powerful the Overwatch Council is, after all, Shang Haibo is in his own territory. If they change people, why don't they tell him One sound, after all, they still need to cooperate in many things here.Moreover, Shang Haibo didn't go to the school for several days, which is different from the past. Although Shang Haibo didn't go sometimes in the past, he never didn't show up for several days, and the general's mansion is not far from the school. Far.

Thinking of this, You Xuzhi couldn't fall asleep anymore, he thought something was wrong, so he went out of the backyard immediately, and changed a yamen servant on duty, and asked him to find Lu must come over.

"Old Lu, go to the General's Mansion to see what's going on?" You Xuzhi said.

"Xianzun, that new school lieutenant is holding a chicken feather as an arrow, it's useless for me to go!"

"At least you have to ask, what do their newcomers need, what do we need to cooperate with, etc. We will work together for a long time in the future." You Xuzhi said impatiently.

Lu must have stepped out of the room helplessly.

This time, a big problem was discovered.

When Lu must have walked up the trail among the dense forests, it was already the dead of night, and the whole mountain was very quiet, except for one or two calls of old ravens, which made people feel cold.Although Lu must have been a soldier in Dingzhou, he still felt chills all over his body.Fortunately, he also brought two followers with him, and he knew that in this dense forest, there were many special agents of the Overwatch Council on duty.

"Chong County Third Class arrester Lu must, please see Mr. Shang!" Lu must have set foot on the middle of the path, and said loudly, based on past experience, there will definitely be special agents from the Overwatch Council at this time.

"Lu must be the head arrester of the third class in Chongxian County, please see Mr. Shang!" Lu must call out again, but there is still no response in silence. When people come, the rules will be changed.

Walking all the way to the gate of the general's mansion, there was still no special agent coming out. At this time, Lu must not be surprised, but feel that something is not good.

The lights in the general's mansion were still nodding, but there was no sound, and no one could be seen. Lu must have looked up at the tall sentry tower. Under normal circumstances, there should be people on duty there, but he is also watching Unexpectedly, he stretched out his hand and pushed gently, but the door was actually ajar.

Stepping into the courtyard boldly, Lu must have called out loudly again, but there was still no answer.

Lu must have trembling hands involuntarily, strode forward, pushed the lobby away, the candlelight was shining brightly, but there was no one figure.

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Lu must say to his two companions with a trembling voice: "Something may have happened, be careful, take a closer look in each room!"

The two companions nodded, and the three went to search separately.

After a while, Lu must have heard a companion screaming in the lobby. He was shocked, and rushed out in three steps, but saw the panicked expression of the companion who came out from the side room.

"Boss, dead, all dead!"

Lu must be struck by lightning, "Who is dead, is it Mr. Shang?"

"No, no, it's Lieutenant Meng, and his subordinates, more than a dozen people, are all dead!"

Lu must have rushed over, stood at the door of the wing room, and looked in. Under the lights, more than a dozen special agents of the Overwatch Council in black uniforms were lined up neatly on the ground. They were already dead, and there was an unpleasant smell in the room. The smell is disgusting.Apparently, he had been dead for more than a day.

"Hurry up and report to the county lord!" Lu must have yelled wildly, something big happened, something big happened.

Hearing the news, You Xuzhi frantically rushed to the General's Mansion on the top of the mountain, searching inside and outside, except for a dozen corpses from the Overwatch Council, Shang Haibo and his family were nowhere to be found.

　Before the emperor died, there was no temple name. The gunman made a common sense mistake and should not have called the king of Zhou Ruizong Zhou. He covered his face and apologized.
