The supernatural peasant girl has some fields

Chapter 531 Shocked
She is not afraid, but she cannot sacrifice the herd.

When I entered the mountain before dark, the herd of beasts swaggered on the street, and many people hid in the cracks of the door to peek. Seeing this scene, don't mention how scared they were.

It was the first time they had seen so many beasts.

Especially the women who lead them are like nothing in their eyes.

All the people in the city were afraid to go out in panic, until someone saw the herd leaving, and some bold ones dared to come out to see the situation.

Everyone was amazed at this sight, the herd of beasts didn't harm an ordinary person, it seemed that they just wanted to cross the road, and the herbs Ning Xiaoqi took were all given money, which made them all confused What exactly does Ning Xiaoqi mean?

But when someone went to the city gate, they saw a horrible scene.

All the soldiers guarding the city died, and blood stained the city wall red. On the city wall, there were all corpses, both human and wild.

The scene was appalling.

A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and as Ning Xiaoqi expected, both Baili Town and the imperial court sent people to inquire about the situation.

Encircling Zhaozhou City as a whole made it difficult to get in and out.

When the people saw the officers and soldiers, they were relieved a lot, and what happened a few days ago became a topic of chatting after drinking.

"Have you heard that yesterday the imperial court dispatched a minister to protect our common people? That's great. Otherwise, when I close my eyes, I will recall all the scenes of that day. It's terrible. I've never seen so many beasts before."

"Yeah, the most important thing is the woman who brought them, she is simply a strange woman, I sneaked a peek through the crack of the door that day, she looked about seventeen or eighteen, she was pretty , I just don’t know what enmity she has with our Zhaozhou city! She killed all the officers and soldiers in the city, but fortunately she let us go.”

"Isn't it? If so many beasts enter the city, we will have no way to survive, hey!"

In the tavern, the guests chatted with each other one by one, a middle-aged man with a haggard face stood at the counter beside him, and when he heard what they said, he gave a wry smile.

There is a sense of unreality in the eyes of the rest of the life after a catastrophe.

Isn't this tavern the place where Ning Xiaoqi ate that day?

All the shopkeepers thought that he was going to die, but in the end Ning Xiaoqi not only didn't kill him, but left a piece of silver, as if he really came to eat.

He still puts the silver on the counter and dare not touch it, as if that day was like a dream.

A few customers saw the shopkeeper's face in a trance, glanced at each other, and joked, "Shopkeeper, I heard that the woman ate in your store that day, you must have seen what she looks like, tell us about it." Listen, is she a young and beautiful girl as old man Zhao said?"

The shopkeeper's body froze, sighed and said softly, "It is indeed a beautiful woman, she looks only twenty years old, but she has the ability to make beasts obey."

"When I saw her come in that day, I thought she was going to die, but I never thought that she just asked me to cook a few dishes, and then returned the money and left."

The person was surprised, "It's so young, who is that woman, and who provoked her."

The shopkeeper shook his head, how could he know such a thing, he is not that woman.

Seeing this, the guests chatted happily again.

After a while, there was some noise outside, and then several officers and soldiers in armor strode in.

The leading officer frowned and looked at the tavern, then grabbed the people around him and asked coldly, "Where is the manager of this tavern?"

For the officers and soldiers who appeared suddenly, the tavern became quiet all of a sudden, and the people were all trembling, guessing in their hearts that it might be because of what happened a few days ago.

The captured man shook his body twice, pointed at the shopkeeper and said loudly, "It's him, the official!"

The officers and soldiers looked at the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper was startled, and the bitterness in his heart became more intense. He stepped forward and clasped his fists at the officers and soldiers, "Several officials, the villain is the shopkeeper of this tavern. What is it?"

Several officers and soldiers glanced at each other, then directly threw the man in their hands aside, and strode up to the shopkeeper, "The new city lord has something to ask, please come with us, the shopkeeper."

The shopkeeper was startled, guessing that it might be about what happened a few days ago, and quickly said, "But sir, I have something to do."

The officers and soldiers frowned and glanced at the soldiers behind them. Several other soldiers immediately stepped forward knowingly, set up the shopkeeper, and forcibly took him away.

"Officer, me." The shopkeeper wanted to cry, but wanted to say something, but the officer in the lead glanced at him, and said coldly, "If you keep talking, I'll just cut off my tongue and take it away."

"."

Being so intimidated by the officers and soldiers, the shopkeeper didn't dare to speak, and could only be taken away by the officers and soldiers with a pale face.

The new city lord was sent from the capital, and he could be regarded as Qi Xiu's confidant.

Now the emperor is ignoring the government all day long, and is only pursuing some elixir of life, and now all the affairs in the court are taken care of by Qi Xiu.

He was also a little shocked when he heard the report from the soldiers at first. Right now, Qi State and the barbarians are having a quarrel, and the disappearance of Chen Tan has made their current situation even more unstable. It is already difficult to stabilize the border. If they are in Qi State again Something happened in the territory, and he was really going to have a headache.

Moreover, the person who heard the report was only aimed at the officers and soldiers, but never harmed the people in the slightest.

He couldn't help not paying attention to it, so he directly sent a person he trusted to succeed the city lord, and led troops to destroy the beasts along the way!

The shopkeeper was held up by officers and soldiers, and he arrived at the City Lord's Mansion in a short while.

In the mansion, the newly appointed city lord has been waiting in the hall for a long time, and there are a few men kneeling under him. The shopkeeper can tell at a glance that those men are the same as him back then, who had some conversations with that strange woman .

The shopkeeper was brought in front of the city lord by the officers and soldiers, who kicked his ankle hard, and the shopkeeper immediately knelt down in pain.

Several officers and soldiers snorted coldly, walked aside and stood still.

The shopkeeper trembled, looked down at the others, and kowtowed tremblingly, "Caocaomin has seen the Lord City Master."

"Head up."

The shopkeeper froze and raised his head silently.

The city lord had a resolute face, and looked at him expressionlessly, which made the shopkeeper's heart tremble suddenly, not knowing how to react.

The two looked at each other for a while before the city lord withdrew his gaze and asked, "I heard that you saw that woman's face that day, is it true?"

The shopkeeper was shocked, not daring to lie, and nodded quickly, "Then that woman, Cao Min just glanced at her secretly."

"Then if you recall the woman's face now, can you still remember?"

The city lord frowned, glanced at the others from the corner of his eye, with a hint of anger.

Ask them, they actually said that they were too scared at that time, they didn't even dare to look at the parents, they only knew that it was a woman, and they also knew that those beasts obeyed the woman's words very much.

He had already inquired when he came along the way, but he did not find any traces of the woman and the group of beasts, and he planned to order to hunt them down, but it turned out that the woman's face was unknown, so you are not angry.

This is a good opportunity to make meritorious service. If he solves this trouble for His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness will definitely use him more, and his status will naturally rise accordingly.

The more he thought like this in his heart, the more he wanted to find Ning Xiaoqi's whereabouts as soon as possible, and then wipe them all out.

As for the opponent, he wasn't worried at all. No matter how powerful the beast was, it was just a beast. He didn't believe it. Their [-] troops couldn't defeat a group of beasts.

As for the death of those people in Zhaozhou City, it can only be said to be useless!

The man snorted coldly, the shopkeeper trembled with fright, and said respectfully, "Remember."

"Alright then, you can go with the painter now and draw the girl's appearance."

"Yes, Lord City Master." The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly, and was taken away by the soldiers. Before leaving, he silently glanced at the other people, feeling a little complicated in his heart.

Looking at the mansion full of officers and soldiers, he sighed softly.

The reason why those people are still kneeling is probably because they dare not talk about the woman's face, for fear that the woman will seek revenge if she finds out, so they all say that they didn't see clearly.

And when he came to him, he had already clearly felt the anger of the city lord. If he said that he didn't see it clearly, he would be beaten to death by the city lord directly.

Offending Ning Xiaoqi on the one hand, and staying alive on the other, he naturally chose the latter.

And now that there are so many officers and soldiers in charge of Zhaozhou City, he is safe, so there is no need to worry at all. If the woman comes, the army will stop him.

For several days, the shopkeeper and the painter were describing and describing. Finally, with the shopkeeper's nod, the painter hurriedly handed over the completed portrait to the city lord.

The moment the city lord took the painting and saw the person on the painting, his whole body froze, because...he found that the person drawn by the artist was surprisingly similar to the person His Royal Highness had been looking for!
But the person His Royal Highness is looking for is Miss Ning!
Miss Ning has been missing for a long time, His Royal Highness has been ordering people to investigate secretly, but unfortunately there has been no clue, and now...
The man's hands shook, and the painting fell to the ground. The painter felt something was wrong with the man, and quickly knelt down in front of the man, not daring to make a sound.

The man was dazed for a long time, until the guards woke him up. The man's face was pale and his eyes were lifeless. Looking at the portrait on the ground, he took a deep breath and said to the painter, "Go down first."

The painter kowtowed as if he was on the verge of a big photo.He didn't dare to stay for a moment, so he went down.

While the guards walked over to close the door, seeing the man was still surprised, he stepped forward to pick up the portrait, and asked in a low voice, "My lord, but do you know the man in this portrait?"

The man glanced at the guard, sighed softly, squeezed the portrait in his hand, a little helpless, "Not only I know it, but if His Royal Highness is here, he will recognize it at a glance."

"His Royal Highness." The guard was shocked. After looking at the portrait for a long time, he finally understood the man's words, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

He remembered that His Royal Highness always told them to look for a person, a woman secretly.

Looking at the portrait at first, he felt that the painting was really not good, but now it seems that the woman in this painting is [-]% similar to the woman His Royal Highness is looking for.

The guard swallowed, looked at the man with a confused face, and whispered, "My lord, is there any misunderstanding here? The person His Royal Highness is looking for is Miss Ning. Miss Ning is a lady of everyone. How could she appear here?" .”

And it can control so many beasts at once!
There was a vague premonition in the man's heart.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wiped out Xiangguo's entire family. If it was really Miss Ning, the guards would feel their scalps go numb just thinking about it.

If it is true, then it is very possible that Miss Ning's family came back for revenge!

Because he hated His Highness the Crown Prince, a whole city of soldiers was slaughtered, but the common people were not hurt at all.

The man smiled wryly, folded the portrait in half, wrapped it up, and said, "Whether it is true or not, you have to ask His Highness the Crown Prince. This woman holds a lot of weight in His Highness's heart. Why do you think His Highness is still I didn’t accept the Crown Princess because of Miss Ning.”

"As long as His Royal Highness encounters something about Miss Ning, and his mood changes too much, let's not take action. In the past few days, you can take people to search in the surrounding mountains. Remember, don't do anything until there is no news from His Royal Highness." Impulsive, even if you find it, you must report it as soon as possible! Without my order, you can't hurt that woman."

After the man finished speaking, his palms were sweating. He clearly remembered that there was a person who found someone who might be Miss Ning, but instead of reporting to His Royal Highness, he secretly killed her, and His Royal Highness later found out. , that person was tortured life and death for ten days before he died.

At that time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was like a lunatic.

The more this happened, the more terrifying he felt that His Highness the Crown Prince was.

Whether His Royal Highness the Crown Prince likes Miss Ning or what, he can no longer tell. If he likes it, why would he kill Ning's whole family? If he likes it, why would he kill her parents.

If you don't like it, then why is His Highness the Crown Prince so crazy, just to find her, and he has never accepted the Crown Princess so far.

He didn't dare to guess what His Royal Highness was thinking.

He has been with the prince for a long time, and now the prince is almost in a daze.

Cruel and bloodthirsty, as long as there is a little thing about that Miss Ning, he will become irrational.

Regardless of whether that woman is or not, he dare not gamble. The best way is to report to His Royal Highness first, and then listen to His Royal Highness how to deal with that woman.

What he can do now is to find the woman as quickly as possible.

The guard nodded repeatedly, took the portrait and strode out directly, ordered people to send the portrait to the capital, and at the same time summoned people to search for it in the surrounding mountains.

On the other side, after a few days of rest, the injuries of the beasts have almost completely healed. They rush from time to time, as long as it is not too far away, Ning Xiaoqi will choose to let them go to the forest, or at night.

During the day, the beasts in their line were too eye-catching, so their positions would inevitably be exposed.

What she wants is to catch them by surprise, so that they don't have any defenses, and then rush to the capital as quickly as possible.

After walking on the mountain road for several days, when finally approaching the next city, there was no place to hide around.
