Chapter 169
The two went to eat something because they had plenty of time, and then drove to the shop where Zhuifeng lived.

But after entering the inn, the two of them felt that the quietness of the inn was a bit strange.

In this store, the downstairs lobby is the place to eat, while the upstairs is the guest room, and although the place is a bit remote, there are not many people on weekdays, but it is not as quiet as I want to be here.

I didn't meet anyone along the way, not to mention customers, I didn't even see the shopkeeper or the waiter.

Lu Cheng and Lin Shuang looked at each other and felt something was wrong, walking up the stairs, Lin Shuang stopped suddenly.

"Brother Lu, do you smell anything?" Lin Shuang said as he twitched his nose, and a stench filled his breath.

Lu Cheng didn't pay much attention to it at first, but now he took a deep breath, and suddenly his face changed: "Not good, it seems to smell like blood!"

The two hurriedly ran towards the room that Zhuifeng had told Lu Cheng before, but only halfway there, they saw a dead body lying in the aisle, eyes rolled up, blood all over the floor.

Lin Shuang had never seen such a situation before, and suddenly screamed.

"Shuangniang, calm down, you go out first, I'll go inside and have a look." Although Lu Cheng is not a person who licks blood on the tip of a knife, he is old and a man after all. Seeing such a situation, although his face turned pale, he still Make up your mind to see Chasing Wind.

Lin Shuang turned her back, took a deep breath, and then stabilized her mind. First, she wanted to confirm the situation of Chasing Feng. Second, the downstairs was so weird that she didn't dare to go down alone, so Lin Shuang also made up her mind. Follow Lu Cheng to have a look: "Brother Lu, I will go too."

Lu Cheng didn't care about what Lin Shuang was thinking at the moment, so he could only nod his head, motioning for her to follow.

Seeing Lu Cheng stepping over the corpse, Lin Shuang gritted his teeth, picked up the hem of his skirt and stepped over the corpse.

However, her steps were small, and she seemed to have stepped on the opponent's wrist when she fell down. Lin Shuang was startled by the slightly soft touch, but then she thought of something.

It's just that now Lu Cheng is concentrating on looking for the door of the guest room that Zhuifeng said, but he didn't notice Lin Shuang's change.

Until he found the upper room where Zhuifeng lived, the door was pushed open, and there were several corpses lying here and there.

Among them, the one with the same clothes seems to be the one who came with Zhuifeng, because Lu Cheng remembered that Zhuifeng seemed to have a similar set of clothes, which was the one he took out and lost last time.

"There is no Zhuifeng here, he probably escaped." Lu Cheng looked around and turned to Lin Shuang and said.

"Brother Lu, I accidentally stepped on that corpse just now..."

"It's okay, don't be afraid." Lu Cheng thought Lin Shuang was afraid and quickly comforted him.

"No." Lin Shuang shook his head: "Brother Lu, I stepped on that corpse just now, and the corpse is still soft, and you can feel the temperature in the room, although it is full of blood, it still smells of sweat. It means that these people were killed not long ago."

After hearing this, Lu Cheng squatted down, touched the corpses, and stained a little blood with his fingers: "Shuang Niang, you are right, the blood is still warm, let's go, maybe the murderer is still there."

The two were talking, when suddenly a hand stretched out from the pile of corpses, which startled Lin Shuang: "Lu...Brother Lu, look over there."

Seeing this, Lu Cheng drew out his saber, kicked the person on top of the man away, and then saw that the person below was dressed in a similar dress to that of Zhuifeng, so he squatted down: "Are you okay? "

"Nine...nine..." The man shouted weakly.

"Yes, we are members of Master Jiu, what about Zhuifeng? How could you do this?" Lu Cheng was worried that the other party would reveal Zhao Jin's identity, so he quickly made it clear.

"Quick...chasing...the wind, it's dangerous! Nine...dangerous!" The man seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and after shouting this sentence, he closed his eyes again.

Lu Cheng quickly stretched out his hand to check the man's breath, and saw that the man hadn't completely died, but just passed out again, but he still breathed out more than he took in.

Quickly helped the man up and put him on the kang beside him, and covered him with a quilt, Lu Cheng looked at Lin Shuang: "Shuang Niang, let's go back quickly, I'm afraid the house is in danger."

"Then what about this person?" Lin Shuang glanced at the bloody person.

"We can only look at his fortune."

"What happened?" Lin Shuang couldn't help asking when the two came out together. The voice of the man was weak just now, and she only heard the word "danger" at the end.

Lu Cheng glanced at Lin Shuang and sighed: "Shuangniang, Master Jiu and Zhuifeng may be in danger now."

"What?" Lin Shuang became anxious all of a sudden, Xiao Zijun was still at home, and even forgot that there was a corpse in front of him, Lin Shuang walked over directly: "Hurry up!"

All the way out of the inn quickly, the two drove home in a carriage, before reaching the door, Lin Shuang saw the door open from a distance, and his heart sank.

Speeding back home, fortunately there was no blood in the house, but the dust on the ground and the rickety things in the yard showed that there had been a fight here before.

"It seems that we came a step late." Lu Cheng stomped his feet, beat his chest and feet.

Lin Shuang ran back and forth in disbelief, even searched the cellar: no, indeed no, nowhere.

"Shuang Niang! They should have been taken away." Lu Cheng watched Lin Shuang rummaging around anxiously, feeling sad for a while, but he didn't expect to implicate Lin Shuang.

"No, they'll be fine, Zijun will be fine. By the way, the cave, maybe they hid in the cave." After Lin Shuang finished speaking, ignoring Lu Cheng's shout, he ran towards the cave in the mountain. .

But when he got there, looking at the empty cave, although the cave was cool and comfortable at the moment, Lin Shuang was no longer in the mood to enjoy it.

For a long time, her spiritual support disappeared like this, and Lin Shuang sat on the ground weakly and cried loudly.

"Shuangniang..." Lu Cheng chased Lin Shuang over, feeling uncomfortable seeing her like this: "Shuangniang, I know where they will go, you wait at home, I will go to find Master Jiu, I believe Master will also I will protect Zijun and nothing will happen."

Hearing Lu Cheng's words, Lin Shuang stopped crying, and looked at Lu Cheng with his eyes: "Do you know where they are? Take me there, I'm going to save Zijun."

"Shuangniang, you stay! It's too dangerous to go this time." What Lu Cheng didn't say was that he couldn't guarantee that he would find someone to save the Ninth Prince and Xiao Zijun, and he couldn't take Lin Shuang to die.

"No! I want to go together." However, the firmness in Lin Shuang's eyes made it impossible for Lu Cheng to refuse.Now her son is suffering in an unknown place, how can she relax.

After staring into Lin Shuang's eyes for a long time, Lu Cheng nodded: "Okay! Let's go back and pack up, and we'll leave right away!"
