Chapter 687 Qijiuling: I Have Waited for so Long, Please Do Not Let Me Down

After these words came out, even Lin Xuelan, who was in grief, woke up instantly: "Mom, no, second uncle, I will go back with you."

Lin Luo shook his head and said: "No, such a big thing just happened, and the whole city must be searching for us now. It's hard for me to get out alone, and it will be even more difficult if we go together. And big brother can't give up, Xuelan, you have to wait for Princess Deyi to come back, maybe our Lin family still has a chance to restore innocence."

Lin Xuelan didn't insist anymore. Jingdu and Jincheng are hundreds of miles apart. If she goes back with her second uncle, she will become a burden to her second uncle. What her second uncle said is right. Dad can't give up. As long as there is a chance, he must be rescued.

For her, whether it is Grandpa Han, or Dad and Mom, they are the most important people in her life.

Now that Grandpa Han is gone, she can't lose Dad again.

"Okay, no more talking. I have to leave quickly. If the whole city is blocked, I won't be able to get out." Lin Luo didn't hesitate. He made up his mind and walked out.

"Second Master Lin." Chen Mo sighed, called Lin Luo, then took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, handed it to Lin Luo, and said: "This is bone-melting water. If a middle- and low-level warrior touches it, it will corrode. I hope it can help you."

He can only help this much. It is impossible to escort him back to Jincheng.

Lin Luo's expression froze, and then he took it heavily. When he was about to leave, he suddenly thought of something. He knelt in front of Chen Mo with a plop and said in a deep voice: "If the Lin family doesn't survive this crisis, Xuelan will be entrusted to Mr. Mo."

After speaking, Lin Luo kowtowed three times, and then, regardless of whether Chen Mo agreed or not, he stood up and turned around and left.

Chen Mo: "..."

"Second Uncle." Lin Xuelan was in tears, and her heart was in great pain.

...

The Third Prince's Mansion

In the study.

"You mean, with so many of you, they ran away right under your noses?"

Xing Yin's voice was low, and he even had a smile on his face, but He Guanjia, who knew him well, knew that this was a sign that His Highness was about to explode.

He Guanjia's back was sweating a little, and he said, "Your Highness, we could have caught them all, but we didn't expect a masked man to suddenly appear. He was very powerful and killed many of us. General Song and General Jiang died at his hands. In addition, the Lin Mansion also built a tunnel. When we chased after them, the other party collapsed the tunnel. We couldn't..."

"Waste." Before He Guanjia finished speaking, Xing Yin threw the newly placed pen and inkstone on the table to the ground, making a crisp "dong" sound, Immediately, he put one hand on his waist, pointed at the housekeeper with an extremely angry hand, and said angrily: "Pass my order, close all the city gates for me, search for me, and find him in the whole city.

In addition, send people to Jincheng to search the Lin family for me. The entire Lin family is an accomplice, and no one will be left alive."

"Yes."

"You know why you go quickly."

...

Taking advantage of the blockade of the whole city and before the officers and soldiers launched a large-scale search, Lin Luo, who was disguised, successfully slipped out of Kyoto and ran all the way to Jincheng.

Not long after Lin Luo left, Kyoto was blocked, and wanted portraits of Lin Luo, Lin Xuelan, Shuang'er and others were posted in the streets and alleys. Those who reported would be rewarded, and those who dared to harbor criminals would be guilty of the same crime as the criminals.

When Chen Mo went out to buy food, he happened to see these portraits.

How to say it, except that the portraits of Lin Luo, Shuang'er and Yuzhu are more similar, the portrait of Lin Xuelan cannot be said to be similar, but can only be said to be completely unrelated.

Chen Mo told Lin Xuelan and the others the news.

Lin Xuelan was not surprised and said, "I don't show up much outside. Even in Jincheng, few people know what I look like."

After all, Lin Xuelan is a young girl who has not yet married, and it is difficult for ordinary people to see her beauty.

"What about the Diao family? Since the Diao family has a business conflict with your Lin family and arranged people to kill you on the road, they obviously know what you look like, right?" Chen Mo said.

"Diao Qing has seen me. Last year, he came to my Lin family to propose marriage for his son, but was rejected by my father. Diao Hong has been in Kyoto and has definitely not seen me. As for the other people in the Diao family, I am not sure." Lin Xuelan said.

Chen Mo raised his eyebrows and said, "Just in case, you should hide in the cellar together. The soldiers will search here soon."

Lin Xuelan and the others also knew the seriousness of the matter, and hurriedly ran to the cellar under the guidance of Chen Mo to hide.

Chen Mo knew that if the soldiers came to search, they would definitely not miss any place where people could hide.

So Chen Mo quickly moved a thousand-pound boulder and pressed it on the wooden board of the cellar, and then camouflaged the surroundings. After confirming that it was not so conspicuous, Chen Mo returned to the room to check if there were any items left by Lin Xuelan and the others. After confirming that there was no problem, Chen Mo thought about it, put some broken silver in the closet, and waited for the arrival of the soldiers with peace of mind.

Less than half an hour.

The courtyard door was knocked "bang bang", and there was an urging voice outside the door:

"Open the door quickly, open the door quickly."

"I'm coming." Chen Mo waited for a while before responding.

But these soldiers were more anxious than he thought. As soon as Chen Mo left the room, the courtyard door was kicked open, and three soldiers holding official swords and two holding crossbows rushed in fiercely.

Each of them has a bamboo whistle hanging around their neck. The officers and soldiers holding official swords also hold a bamboo whistle in one hand at all times. Once something happens, they will blow it immediately to call for support.

Chen Mo quickly bowed and walked forward with a smile: "Eh? Sirs, what are you doing?"

The five officers and soldiers looked at Chen Mo carefully, and then an older officer and soldier said righteously: "An hour ago, some thieves resisted arrest and killed many of us during a routine inspection. Have you been at home? Is there anyone else in the house? I saw a suspicious figure just now?”

"Ah? Who is so bold? He dares to kill even the officers and soldiers. He is really brave." As Chen Mo said, he carefully pulled the outer robe with his hand, touched the sleeves, and turned out The landlord wrote the lease and threw it to the officers and soldiers, and then said: "Sir, we just moved here a few days ago, with my wife and two old people. But they went shopping, and I was alone at home. I didn't see anything suspicious." people."

The officers and soldiers looked at the face of Chen Mo, who was still so cowardly and did not look like he would dare to harbor a criminal. One of them took the lease and looked at it. After confirming that it was a normal residence, he said: "I'm sorry, it's just a matter of routine."

Then he waved his hand: "Search."

He was left alone to watch Chen Mo, while the remaining four officers and soldiers entered the house and searched.

Soon, officers and soldiers discovered the broken silver in the closet.

They watch people order food.

Seeing that Chen Mo was a tenant, and the house he rented was not a high-end house, and he looked timid, he guessed that he had no background, so he took away all the money in the closet.

After leaving the room, he shook his head at the officers and soldiers who were looking at Chen Mo, and secretly made a gesture to them.

The officers and soldiers who looked at Chen Mo immediately understood. After sweeping the yard, they said, "Does your yard have a cellar?"

"I just moved here, so I don't know yet. There should be some. I'll look for it for you, sir."

As he said that, Chen Mo really started searching seriously in front of them.

The officer and soldier who took the money were afraid that Chen Mo would find out that the money was missing from the wardrobe, so he immediately said: "Boss, I just looked carefully and there is no cellar. Let's go, we have to go to the next one."

The officers and soldiers next to him also raised their hands: "Yes, boss, let's go."

After the leading officer and soldier took a few serious glances, and confirmed that there was nothing unusual, he waved his hand: "Let's go."

This kind of city-wide search is inherently thankless and can easily offend the powerful, so don't expect them to take it seriously. Now that they have found "benefits", they naturally don't want to stay any longer.

After leaving, they even closed the courtyard door.

But with Chen Mo's perception, he found that they had not gone far outside, so he walked into the room, and after a while, he pretended to shout: "My silver."

Then he quickly ran outside the house.

Outside, several officers and soldiers listened to the movement inside. One officer and soldier whispered: "Quickly, he found out."

"Damn it." When he left the yard and saw that there was no one around, Chen Mo yelled a few more times and started beating his chest and stamping his feet.

After waiting for half a quarter of an hour, Chen Mo closed the courtyard door and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Then he moved the boulder above the cellar, opened the wooden board at the cellar entrance, and said: "Miss Lin, come out quickly, they are leaving."

Lin Xuelan and the others emerged from the cellar one after another. The cellar of this house was very small and very hot inside. In just a moment, the three women were sweating profusely.

Especially Lin Xuelan, her skin is the whitest, rosy and translucent, with beads of sweat hanging on her forehead. Her dress is soaked with sweat and stained with the soil in the cellar, making her look like a pure and beautiful girl who has been tortured. generally.

Yuzhu looked even hotter.

"Thank you Mr. Mo, you saved our lives again." Lin Xuelan bit her red lips and looked at "Mo Yu". I am afraid she will never be able to repay this kindness in her lifetime.

Shuang'er looked guilty: "I've caused you trouble, so I'm leaving now. Don't worry, even if I'm caught, I won't turn you in."

Shuang'er really felt guilty, thinking that all this was caused by herself.

But as soon as she took steps, she fell to the ground and passed out.

Her injury was not healed, and she needed to take good care of it and rest. However, she had been exercising violently just now, which might have opened the wound.

Chen Mo sighed: "Miss Lin, Miss Yuzhu, help me bring her into the house."

other side.

The city-wide search by officers and soldiers can be said to have aroused public outrage.

There were many officers and soldiers like Chen Mo who encountered unclean hands and feet.

What's more, not only did he take money from the people, but he also took advantage of the beauty of the hostess, which made the people complain, many of which involved some powerful people.

A memorial was delivered to the third prince's residence.

Although they were all suppressed by the Third Prince's power, the search for so long yielded no results. Xing Yin knew that if he continued the search, he would not get any results.

Unless Kyoto is turned upside down, the complaints of the people will only be greater, which will not be conducive to his rule, so he can only think of other ways.

At this time, he and the housekeeper came up with an idea to use Lin Kong in the prison to lure people out.

Xingyin thought it would work, so he asked the housekeeper to do it.

In a valley twenty miles outside Kyoto City.

Although it is a valley, the vegetation here is not dense. Instead, you can see patches of sandy land not covered by vegetation.

Around here, you can also see white bones, and you can vaguely distinguish the bones of humans and various animals.

This place is far away from official roads and there are no traces of people.

But when the sky darkened, a figure appeared in the valley.

He came to a slightly sunken sandy land and pressed a button somewhere. With the sound of the mechanism, a cave entrance of about one and a half meters appeared in front of him.

He glanced at the cave entrance. It was pitch black and there was a hissing sound inside, revealing a terrifying and solemn atmosphere.

He took out a fire starter, blew out some flames, and walked towards the cave entrance. There was a staircase going down inside. When he stepped on the stairs, the mechanism sounded and the cave entrance above his head closed. Then, the two sides of the stairs lit up, and the environment inside suddenly became bright.

Even though this was not his first time here, he still looked a little creepy and frightened.

Because the walls on both sides were almost crawling with poisonous spiders, poisonous ants and other poisonous insects.

There were almost densely packed poisonous snakes on every step of the stairs.

Some poisonous snakes even stood up and spit their tongues at him.

If someone came here for the first time, seeing the scene in front of him, he would be scared to death.

Fortunately, these poisonous creatures knew him and did not attack. After a while, they made way for him.

He breathed a sigh of relief and continued to walk down.

After walking down the stairs, there was an underground palace inside.

There were ever-burning lights in every corner, white bones everywhere, various poisonous insects living in these bones, and a poisonous snake crawled out of the skull, which almost scared him.

In the depths of the palace, there was a pool, one half of which was filled with blood, and the other half was flowing mercury. There was no barrier between the two, but they magically did not blend together. A middle-aged man with a naked upper body and extremely white skin sat cross-legged in the center of the intersection with his eyes closed.

With the arrival of the figure, the middle-aged man just opened his eyes slightly.

"High priest, someone left a new mark in the tavern, and he wants to buy the immortal powder." The figure said hoarsely.

"Oh?" The middle-aged man was a little surprised. You know, he hasn't traded with the outside world for a while. Those acquaintances in the Western Regions should know it. He immediately asked: "Where does the mark come from?"

"The Great Song Dynasty."

"The Great Song? The Liang family" The middle-aged man immediately thought of something. After thinking for a while, he said: "Normal transaction."

"Yes."

After the figure finished speaking, he retreated.

As soon as the figure left, the middle-aged man stood up from the pool and muttered to himself: "The Great Song? You have waited for so long, don't let me down..."
