Broken mountains and rivers: Sushou restores the universe

Chapter 98
The next day, at the beginning of Mao.

It is still early at this time, the sky is bright, and the weather is very cold.

However, in the backyard of the post house, there was already a man wearing a thin martial arts uniform, practicing sword skills with a soft sword.

At this moment, a man in black came out from the back hall door on the first floor of the post house. He came to the backyard to inspect the left and right for a while, then walked quickly to the man who was practicing martial arts, and called out: "Your Majesty."

Shen Muyu didn't stop the moves in his hand immediately, he took his time to practice a set of sword skills before closing the moves.

After letting out a steady breath, Shen Muyu turned to look at Xiao Ji, and asked lightly: "Is there any result?"

Xiao Ji opened his mouth to speak, but couldn't help but yawned greatly.His face was full of sleepiness, and he said with some complaints: "Your Majesty had a good night's sleep, but this subject dressed up in disguise more than a dozen times overnight, visited the seventeen Fengyueyuan in the south of the city, and has not slept until now..."

"Hehe..." Shen Muyu smiled lightly, his eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a mouthful of white and neat teeth, and his smiling face was extraordinarily beautiful.

He looked at Xiao Ji with a smile, and jokingly said: "You have the nerve to call yourself tired after a whole night of nephrite jade and fragrance? Forget it, it's really hard work for you. At worst, I will let you rest for a day today."

"That's what you said." The complaints on Xiao Ji's face dissipated a little, he yawned again, and said seriously: "Your Majesty, I first asked an artist to paint Lin Yan's portrait yesterday. Come down, and then I took her portrait to the south of the city, it is said that Hongcheng's Fengyuechang is gathered in the south of the city."

Xiao Ji paused for a moment, then continued: "I wandered around the Fengyue Courtyard of every family in the south of the city, and showed Lin Yan's portrait to the bustard and the girl in the courtyard, and I said it was the portrait I got from my companion. , it was the woman in this painting who deliberately went for a stroll in the south of the city when she came to Hongcheng. But the person who sent Lin Yan to you was very cautious. He must have ordered the bustard not to reveal Lin Yan. Therefore, no matter how much money I pay, the bustards and girls of Seventeen Fengyueyuan all claim not to know this person."

Shen Muyu looked at Xiao Ji quietly, didn't speak after hearing this, and waited quietly.

Xiao Ji paused to take a breath, and continued: "I have carefully observed the reactions of the bustards of Seventeen Fengyueyuan, and many of them were greedy for the money I gave, so they found someone who looked like Lin Yan to try to lie to me. , and some old bustards looked at Lin Yan's portrait with blank faces, and they really didn't know her. Only the old bustard of a Fengyueyuan looked strange, so I changed my appearance and finally went to that Fengyueyuan to ask a girl to accompany her Me, after I gave that girl three silver coins of Weiguo and promised not to tell her about Lin Yan, she just let go."

Xiao Ji paused, yawned sleepily, and continued: "The girl told me that this Lin Yan was from their yard, named Xiangyan. She said that Xiangyan was killed by a handsome woman the day before yesterday. The boy was taken away at the price of two gold coins, and it is said that he was sent back five days later. I asked the girl about the boy's appearance in detail, and asked the artist to draw this portrait based on her description."

As Xiao Ji said, he took out a piece of folded rice paper from his arms and handed it to Shen Muyu.

"Send it back in five days..." Shen Muyu put the soft sword at his waist, took the rice paper in Xiao Ji's hand in deep thought, and opened it, only to see a portrait of a young man drawn on the rice paper, because after all According to many people's reports, this portrait is nothing more than Wei Ying's three-point appearance.
