Su Mu was taken aback when he heard this, not to mention that Huang Yu was so indignant because of the common people at that time, even if it wasn't, after so many days, how could anyone still hold grudges for such a thing.

"The general is serious." Su Mu invited him to sit across from him, Xiao Er came to refill a pot of tea, and just as he was about to pour Huang Yu a cup, Huang Yu's stuttering voice sounded again.

"In the past... I always heard Marquis mention how lively the children are at home, but because we were ordered to guard the Jiang Prefecture, we have already planted roots here, so we never saw each other. I didn't know until recently... I realized that you are what Marquis saidThat son."

Su Mu stopped pouring tea slightly, and looked at Huang Yu, whose eyes were full of nostalgia, as if he had completely fallen into the memories of the past.

"Marquis took us all over the country to conquer the north and south, and quelled countless wars. We thought we could follow Marquis for the rest of our lives, but we didn't want to be ordered to guard Jiang Prefecture forever, which became a line of defense between Jiang Prefecture and the female barbarians."Huang Yu was a little bit aggrieved as she spoke, "But why does this female barbarian country need to be so heavily guarded? We are here all day long for routine inspections, but in fact it is useless at all. I thought that I would be able to gallop on the battlefield again when Marquis invited the emperor., but what I didn’t want to wait for was the sad news of Marquis’ death in battle.”

Huang Yu's eyes suddenly turned red, but she also suddenly thought of Su Mu who should be more sad than herself in front of her. She quickly raised her hand and waved it, and apologized repeatedly: "Little Marquis, don't be ruined by my nonsense.Mood, I have also heard about you these few days in Jiang Prefecture, if you hadn’t discovered the epidemic immediately and dealt with it calmly, the scourge would not have disappeared so quickly, if Marquis Jiuquan knew about a child like you, he would be gratified.”

Su Mu knew that the young master's father, Su Yi, was the Marquis Anding who shocked the world, but it was the first time he was so close to this past event.

"You don't need to be like this, general, I'm fine." He waved his hand, put the cup firmly in front of Huang Yu, and asked after a moment of silence, "If the general is free, can you tell me about your father's past?Anything goes."

Naturally, Huang Yu had no reason to refuse, so she responded repeatedly.

The time he had followed Su Yi was not long, but Su Yi had already left a deep impression on him.

Su Yi's appearance is not the same as that of ordinary generals. She has a fair face, standing like an orchid and a jade tree, more like a pampered young master in Capital City.

In addition, his father was a member of the Yushitai in the imperial court, and he was an out-and-out civil servant, so when Su Yi first came to the army, he was often made things difficult by the soldiers.

However, it happened that such Su Yi, with outstanding martial arts skills and considerable resourcefulness, quickly won the army's heart with the feat of defeating Mobei in three battles.

Since then, he has made steady progress all the way, and even at a young age, he was bestowed the title of Marquis Anding by the emperor who had just ascended the throne at that time, and his reputation spread far and wide for a while.

The Rebellion of the Female Barbarian Kingdom was the last battle that Su Yi led this initial army to fight. After that, the army returned to Jiang Prefecture, and Su Yi returned to Capital City alone.

Afterwards, he died in battle under the blade of the Turkic Khan. When the news came, the government and the public were shaken, and a generation of war gods fell.

When mentioning this matter, Huang Yu was still quite regretful, he always felt that if they were the soldiers who had been following Su Yi all along, it would definitely not have such an ending.

"Then Murong—huh, when Marquis was fighting in the four wilds, he was still in his infancy, and even a baby could quell the chaos of the war. Why did Marquis die? It must be that the army didn't care, so Marquis died in vain!"At the point of excitement, Su Mu only heard a crisp sound, and when he looked down, he found that Huang Yu had crushed the cup in his hand.

It is indeed a pity that Su Yi died at an early age. Even if Su Mu knew that this was only the original owner's father, he couldn't help but feel very depressed.

On the morning of leaving Jiangzhou City, Huang Yu took a group of former soldiers to say goodbye to Su Mu at the gate of the city. When they saw Su Mu, they were very moved, saying that Su Mu looked exactly like Su Yi,Some even couldn't hold back their tears.

Su Mu complied with their instructions one by one, and set off with Mo Shu back to Capital City.

Compared with the past, there is no need to worry now, the two of them stopped and stopped all the way to relax, and the journey of two or three days was dragged into three days.

After a few days of trekking, they went back and forth to Bishui County. Although they only stayed here for a few days before, Su Mu also felt a little nostalgic.

When they stayed in the same inn, the shopkeepers seemed very familiar.

After taking the key from the shopkeeper, Su Mu and Mo Shu were about to go upstairs, when a few people came down from upstairs, the leader had a savage face and sharp eyes, stroking across Su Mu's face,It made Su Mu a little alert.

Although it is not advisable to judge people by their appearance, this person's face is indeed a bit fierce.

Su Mu thought silently, and made way.

After the group of people walked out, he continued upstairs. As soon as he reached the second floor, he saw two sturdy people walking around, stamping the ground hard from time to time, looking very impatient.

Su Mu felt a little strange, so he couldn't help but take a second look. After the two noticed it, they immediately yelled: "What are you doing, whoever you are, dare to look casually, be careful that I gouged your eyes!"

Seeing that Mo Shu seemed to want to go up and teach them a lesson, Su Mu quickly reached out to stop him, and after a few words of comfort, he turned around and went to his room.

And when he finished cleaning up, he was going to see the current situation of the Hong family, when he opened the door, he found that the two people standing at the door were gone.

Su Mu looked suspiciously at those rooms, and saw that there was no strange movement, so he didn't take it to heart, and left in a hurry.

Hong Xizhi is now running a cloth business. She is well-informed, bold and careful, and has made many unique designs and colors. Ding Ziping is ingenious, and she can use a pair of scissors superbly.Clothing samples and gadgets, so when Su Mu found this place, the store was very busy with people coming and going.

As soon as Hong Xizhi raised his eyes, he saw Su Mu, who was quite eye-catching in the crowd. He was tall and tall, and he still looked outstanding even if he stood in the outermost circle.

She hurriedly beckoned people into the shop to rest for a while, not far away Ding Ziping was also quite pleasantly surprised when she recognized Su Mu, stood up and saluted, and welcomed Su Mu in.

Mo Shu was still very resistant to the crowded environment, so he simply went to the roof and waited for Su Mu to come out.

When the people in the shop were almost gone, Hong Xizhi and Ding Ziping came to greet Su Mu who was a customer.

Seeing that the two looked better than before, Su Mu also felt a lot relieved. He thought that the two women would be in a difficult situation in such a society, but they seemed to be much more capable than he thought, which made him feel better.Some feel ashamed.

"Master Su, it's been a long time." Hong Xizhi poured someone a cup of tea, sat down and asked, "A few days ago, I saw Mr. Lu came here to find rescuers, so I don't know how Jiang Prefecture is doing now?"

Su Mu explained the situation of Jiang Prefecture from complicated to simplified, and Ding Ziping and Hong Xizhi were also relieved.

"When Mr. Lu came that day, he looked very anxious, but we were also taken aback. Fortunately, in the past few days, people have been spreading rumors that the imperial court sent people down to suppress these people.The situation in Jiang Prefecture has improved, so we feel a little more at ease."

Looking back on the scene at that time, Su Mu still felt thrilled. The sense of powerlessness and despair at that time seemed like a world away, so that now he was able to sit here and chat and laugh with two old friends, which made him feel a little unreal.

"Huh? Speaking of which, why did you only see Mr. Su, Mr. Lu and Mr. Liu——?"

Su Mu paused slightly with his hand holding the teacup, and then replied, "They seem to have other important matters, so they didn't return to Capital City with me."

When asked by Hong Xizhi, Su Mu remembered that he seemed to have completely forgotten to care about what they were going to do in Wang Jiang.

It shouldn't be a trivial matter that can disturb Dali Temple.

He frowned slightly. Although he didn't doubt the ability of these two people at all, he still couldn't help but feel a little worried when he thought of Jiang Prefecture's unpredictable plot during this trip.

Su Mu didn't stay for long, after he came out, he wandered casually in Bishui County, and went back together with Mo Shu. When he was walking to the door, he bumped into a woman walking out with her head buried.

Su Mu staggered when he was bumped, and when he stood still, he subconsciously reached out to support the girl in front of him who was also staggering. As soon as he put his hand on the girl's arm, a voice exploded in his ears.beside.

"What are you doing! Let go!"

A man with a thick shoulder and round waist came out of the inn, and then pulled away the woman in front of Su Mu, stared at Su Mu and said, "Get lost!"

As soon as Su Mu heard this sound, he could roughly guess that this was the same group of people he had met before. He reached out his hand and rubbed his ears helplessly, and by the way grabbed the black-faced Mo Mo who was taking a step forward.Book.

"Miss, it's okay." He looked at the woman who bumped into him. She was thin and her face was covered with a thin veil so she couldn't see her face clearly, but the bruises under her eyes were very obvious.

She stood behind the man with downcast eyes and shook her head desperately.

Before Su Mu could ask further, the man gave Su Mu a sideways glance, and then left with the woman.

There was a lot of noise outside, which disturbed Xiao Er, who was resting in the afternoon, he poked his head out to beckon Su Mu to go in, and said in a low voice, "Young master, don't be angry, these guest officials are really tempered.Yes, but there are so many of them, you might have a hard time fighting them."

Su Mu nodded, frowned and asked, "Do you know who they are?"

Such arrogance makes him look like a bully in the fish and meat town, but when Su Mu came to Bishui County before, there were no such people, and with the appearance just now, he could not let go of that woman.

Seeing this, Xiao Er lowered her voice: "I don't know, but my lord, to tell you the truth, we have had several groups of people who are somewhat similar to them come here in the past few days.But not so often. This time they reserved six rooms for us, and every two of us brought a girl, hey—these girls, hey, all covered their faces with white gauze, so we couldn’t see what they looked like.And I seldom see these girls going out. Only in a few days will I take people out like today."

Su Mu's brows became tighter when he heard this. No matter how it sounds, something is wrong.

He also saw these people wandering around the door today, and now he got in touch with him and thought, could they be guarding the girl in the house?

He glanced at several rooms upstairs, feeling a little worried.

At night, after getting the ink book ordered by Su Mu, he quietly climbed up the roof of the inn like a ghost. After carefully removing the blue tiles on the roof, he removed the layer of straw under it, and the scene inside the house can be seen in full view.

Sitting on the bed was a girl in white clothes, her figure and attire were exactly the same as the one met earlier, while two men were sitting at the table in the room, eating snacks while talking and laughing, and making some noises from time to time.Laugh out loud.

It was already late at night, and the two big men were obviously sleepy, so they told the girl to go to bed in a rough voice, but they themselves pulled out two knives from some corner, and each held aHe sat down by the door and dozed off.

The girl on the bed seemed to be accustomed to such a scene, she took off her veil and lay down on the bed with her clothes on. Mo Shu observed for a while, and saw that everyone had indeed fallen asleep, so she moved her things back again, gentlyJumped off the roof and returned to the room.

After Mo Shu finally informed Su Mu of the situation by handwriting, it was already late at night, but Su Mu didn't feel sleepy at all.

Judging by the fact that those two men were guarding the door with knives, Su Mu really couldn't think that they were normal people, and heard Xiao Er said that this group of people is not just a group of people, but such people often comeSettling in Bishui County made him feel that it was not easy.

He rubbed his forehead with some headaches, he has only been chic for two days, why did he run into something strange again?It was really hard for people not to wonder if it was his mysterious younger brother who was secretly watching him again.

For the next day, Su Mu kept paying attention to the movement in those rooms. Just as Xiao Er said, the girls would come out sometimes, but they were surrounded by people, and these people were especially jealous of people staring at them.People passing by sometimes would be yelled at and shivered if they just took a look at it.

Even more suspicious.

But he really couldn't find any chance to ask these girls face to face. Just when he was racking his brains to find a way, he saw the girl who bumped into him the first day again.

As soon as the girl came out, she exchanged glances with Su Mu. Seeing that Su Mu was also staring at her, she froze for a moment, then lowered her eyes again.

But when she followed the man past Su Mu, Su Mu heard her whispering to herself, "I don't know if I can get the custom-made clothes in Lingyifang today?"

The man walking in front turned back and stared at her, as if he disliked her talkativeness, and said impatiently: "If you can go and see, you will know, shut your mouth."

The girl trembled in fright at the words, then lowered her head and said nothing, while Su Mu was very sensitive to capture the location she said.

He always felt that these words seemed to be deliberately said to himself.

He is no stranger to Lingyifang, and there is no other reason. This is the cloth shop opened by Hong Xizhi. It was named because it can also buy ready-made clothes.

Su Mu sat in his seat and thought for a moment. In order to prevent those people from being suspicious, he and Mo Shu took a longer route and went to Lingyifang. When they arrived, the two had already left.

Hong Xizhi was startled when he saw Su Mu, and just when he was about to ask Su Mu if he wanted to buy something, Su Mu asked in a very fast tone: "Miss Hong, there is a figure here just now."A tall man and a girl?" He gestured for the height of the two with his hand, and Hong Xizhi reacted.

"They just left. They came to pick up the clothes they ordered from me yesterday. Do you know each other?"

Su Mu didn't deny it in a hurry, but continued to ask: "What's so strange about them?"

Hong Xizhi put down the work in hand, pondered, and after a while he said with some embarrassment: "It's strange, but they seem to be in a hurry. Logically speaking, it takes a lot of effort to make ready-made clothes.On weekdays, it takes three to five days to get on the board, but when they came to me yesterday, they were very anxious, saying that no matter what, they have to get it today. They also said that it doesn’t matter whether it looks good or not, as long as it can be upper body.Okay, so I can only agree, and hurried to get dressed."

Su Mu nodded slightly, frowned and lowered his head to think.

If that girl deliberately let herself know about this place, then she must want to let herself know something, if she didn't learn it from Hong Xizhi, then she must have left some clues.

Before he could open his mouth to ask, Hong Xizhi complained: "But let me tell you, these two people are really a little... just come to my shop to get clothes, I don't know which one of them it is.I left the oiled paper after eating at me. If I hadn’t just walked out, I would not have found it. Oh, oh, before leaving, the girl suddenly said something, saying that we are from Bishui County.White vinegar is very good... Sigh, I don't know what this girl is thinking at such a young age."

"Grease paper?" Su Mu raised his head, "What oil paper?"

Hong Xizhi watched with a puzzled expression as Su Mu unfolded the crumpled oiled paper. There was nothing on it except for a few oil stains, but Su Mu's expression was very focused.Put it on the tip of your nose and sniff it lightly.

...

If she hadn't known what kind of person Su Mu was before, she would definitely think that this person was probably sick.

As soon as Su Mu got closer, he smelled a strong sour smell, which made him think of something easily.

white vinegar.

"Miss Hong, is there any candle in this shop that you can lend me?" He asked seriously.

Hong Xizhi didn't know why, but he still brought a candlestick from the side, lit it for Su Mu and put it on the table.

At this time, some customers came to the shop, and Hong Xizhi had no time to take care of Su Mu, so he left.

Su Mu put the oiled paper under the fire and baked it carefully. After a while, a word appeared on the oiled paper. Although the gestures were a bit intermittent, you can roughly recognize its appearance.

That is a "save" word.

After returning to the inn, he thought about it and was very hesitant. Although the magistrate of Bishui County is not a bad person, if he reports to the official rashly, he may be easy to scare the snake. Since these people have weapons in their hands, they are by no means easy to deal with.Moreover, if it is true as I guessed, then the girls who came before must be in normal circumstances. This may not be an ordinary threat of kidnapping, but more likely a transport chain of the entire population.

Su Mu was in a state of confusion. He had asked the shopkeeper earlier that this group of people would be leaving the next day. Before that, he must do something.

Two of the burly men were pacing back to the girl's room with contented expressions on their faces. Just as they sat down, they heard someone knocking on their door. When they opened the door, there was no one there.

While the two were in doubt, a small stone suddenly bounced from the side, hitting the side of one of them accurately.

The man let out a cry, and when he turned his head, he saw a black hem flashing by the wall.

The man suddenly became annoyed, shouted "little bastard" and chased after him, but the companion at the side didn't know what happened, but just grabbed him to ask clearly, another small stone was also accuratelyIt hit his forehead.

"What dares to hit you!" He spat on the ground, and the two of them chased out like two dynamite kegs that were ignited.

The girl in the room seemed to have heard some movement, and she tightened her handkerchief, always feeling a little uneasy.

Everything was just her own guess. The young man seemed to be very worried about her situation when she looked at her. If that was the case, maybe he could understand the message she left behind.

She has tried this method many times along the way, but maybe it is because there are too few people who understand it or know it, no matter how hard she tries, she is still easily ignored.

That was the method she learned to deliver messages when she went to sea with her father. It was very covert, and even if they found out, it would be nothing more than a scrap of paper.

She didn't dare to take risks easily in front of this group of people, and she didn't even have the courage to give it to Su Mu directly in front of him, so she could only throw it in the most conspicuous place in the shop while the man was picking up his clothes.

If that son could arrive in time, he would definitely be able to see it.

She waited nervously in the room, but she didn't see the two guards coming in for a long time.

where did they go

She stood up carefully and began to walk around the room.

Run now, okay?

But at this moment, there was a light knock on the door, and her heart was lifted instantly.

Those two would never knock on the door.

She suppressed the beating drum-like sound in her heart, and opened the door a crack.

Su Mu, dressed in indigo, was standing outside the door.

Her breathing stopped immediately, and Su Mu also knew that the time that Mo Shu could delay was limited, so he didn't give the girl any time to hesitate, pushed the gap of the door a little, stepped in, and then gently closed the door.

"Hush—" He made a silent expression.

Seeing that the girl regained her composure, Su Mu lowered her voice and asked, "Is the oil paper left by the girl?"

Seeing that Su Mu really understood what she left, Ye Rong immediately began to cry.

But Su Mu urgently needed to find out what happened, so he didn't feel relieved, but continued to ask patiently: "Miss, can you tell me what kind of relationship these people have with you?"

Ye Rong wiped the corners of her eyes, and replied in a low voice: "My family is originally in Yueqing County, and I was captured here by them."

Su Mu also had a general impression of the geographical location, knowing that Yueqing County is at least a few days away from Bishui County.

"That day I went to get some things from the rice shop at home. When I didn't want to come out, it was already dark, so I was knocked out from behind, and when I woke up, I was taken to a room.There were many girls of my age there, and after a few days, some people took some of them away one after another, and then I was also brought here by them."

Su Mu pondered for a moment, then asked, "Where are they taking you?"

Ye Rong shook her head. These days, she has been deliberately listening to these people's daily conversations, but she has never heard them mention the final destination. Occasionally, when they are close to the answer, those people will stop talking immediately.It's a secretive look.

"Originally, we would continue all the way south, but because a girl... was unwell halfway, and the dirty clothes were too conspicuous, so they stopped here for a while and asked me to order a new set of clothes."

Through Ye Rong's words, Su Mu finally confirmed that this is really a kidnapping case, but it seems that these girls must not be the only ones taken away by this group of people.

He hesitated to think about the countermeasures. Now there are roughly two roads in front of him. One is to report the case immediately and hand over the case to the county magistrate.They cannot be rescued if they hide deeper. The second is to let them move on, follow them all the way, and report to the local officials after finding the final location, so that everyone can be rescued together.

But this move also has a lot of risks, not to mention whether it can track to the final destination, if this girl shows some flaws, it is very likely to put everyone in danger.

He quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind, while Ye Rong waited quietly at the side, seeing that Su Mu hadn't continued speaking for a long time, she cautiously said, "My lord, I don't want you to save me out."

Su Mu was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, obviously he didn't understand what the words meant.

"I also have a sister who disappeared suddenly a year ago. I doubt if she was taken away just like me." Ye Rong said with lowered eyes, "And now even if you save me out alone, this group of people will definitely find out, then I will not be able to live with peace of mind in the future, and I will always worry that someone will take me back."

Her voice was a little trembling: "If possible, I will try my best to leave clues so that you can find us. When you finally reach their territory, please inform the government of the situation."

Her thoughts coincided with his own, and Su Mu was surprised but also admired.

Ye Rong's whole body was trembling slightly, which showed how terrified she really was, but she could still calmly think about delivering the message under such a situation, and she didn't only care about escaping herself, even if she was herself, she might not have such courage.

A few curses sounded outside the window. Su Mu understood that the two guards of Ye Rong were already on their way back. Before he could express himself too much, he nodded slightly to Ye Rong.

"You should try your best."

Not long after returning to the house, Mo Shu jumped in from the window. Although there was a lot of dust on his body, he didn't seem to be injured, and Su Mu was even more relieved.

Now the whole story is clear, but for Su Mu, it is no less than another century-old problem.

The county magistrate of Bishui County must not be able to handle such a big matter, and now they can only rely on the two of them to track it down.

Su Mu sighed, it would be inconvenient for him not to know martial arts in such a situation.Recently, he has often seen those people face to face, and it is easy to be seen at a glance.

In desperation, he could only entrust his hope to Mo Shu once again. Mo Shu's skill is very good. If he just followed in the dark, it would be difficult to be discovered, but he could follow the clues of Mo Shu., so it is the only way.

Mo Shu naturally did not object. On the contrary, he was also very indignant towards the behavior of these people. If Su Mu hadn't explained the reason clearly, Su Mu had no doubt that these people would be severely punished by him tonight..

On the second day, those people also set off as Ye Rong said, and Mo Shu completely disappeared from Su Mu's sight, but he left all kinds of agreed marks along the way. Su Mu carefully memorized the road,While deliberately slowing down and following forward.

After four or five days, Su Mu looked at the majestic tower in front of him and was very moved.

"Wangjiang..." he murmured, and he didn't know if it was really a coincidence that the destination of this group of people all the way south was actually Wang Jiang City where Liu Xiaoran and Lu Lingjue went.

The message left by the ink book was interrupted. Su Mu waited until sunset in the city, and then waited for the hurried ink book at the last marked spot.

"What's the matter?" Before Mo Shu could fully enter, Su Mu saw that his expression didn't seem very good, and asked anxiously, "But he was discovered? Where did he get hurt?"

Mo Shu shook his head, his eyes were full of solemnity, and he wrote down what he saw and heard stroke by stroke in the palm of Su Mu.

"Thirty miles outside the city, there are... many mountains, can't you get in?" Su Mu carefully read the handwriting, and after putting together the fragmentary words, he also guessed the meaning of the ink book.

"You mean, they ended up going to a mountain thirty miles away from Wangjiang City...There are a lot of people there, can't you get in?"

Mo Shu nodded, and then wrote on Su Mu's palm: "There are still many girls."

Su Mu's eyes darkened. There is actually a human trafficking factory here?

The odds of the two of them winning were too small. Su Mu subconsciously thought of Liu Xiaoran and Lu Lingjue, who should be in the city now. Although they still don't know why they came to Jiangzhou City, it must be the safest choice to ask them for help.

But the next day, when Su Mu came to Wang Jiang Mansion Yamen, the servant's expression was very unpredictable. After he looked Fan Sumu up and down, he asked him to wait at the door for a while, saying that he wanted to go in and communicate, but then he didn'tAfter a while, a short but shrewd man in a red official uniform came out.

Su Mu didn't know this person, but he knew the official uniform on him.

This is the governor of Wangjiang Mansion.

The man's eyes glanced up and down on Su Mu, touched the two mustaches around his mouth, and then asked, "Who are you? What are you doing with Liu Shaoqing?"

Su Mu suppressed the doubts in his heart, and cupped his hands in a face-saving way: "Su Mu, the junior, is a good friend of Liu Shaoqing and Lu Sizhi. I heard what they said a few days ago that they would come here to do something, and I happened to pass by here, soCome to visit, I wonder if Lord Inspector can pass on one or two for you."

Although Su Mu is also a Marquis Anding in name, he is young and weak, and has no other position in the court. Not many people know him, and his prestige is far inferior to his father.At the same time, Wang Jiang is far away from Capital City, and the official system is also to some extent self-contained, so he does not intend to disclose his true identity, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

After hearing what Su Mu said, the man snorted coldly, and said impatiently: "These two are not in my Wang Jiang government office now, you go quickly."

Such an answer made Su Mu a little unexpected. Before he wanted to say something, the man had already turned his back, kicked and shuffled in.

The yamen servant at the door waved his hand when he saw this and said: "Did you hear that, there is no one you are looking for here, let's go, let's go, don't hang around in front of the government yamen, find a place to cool off by yourself."

Their tone of voice was extremely contemptuous, and even the good-tempered Su Mu was provoked to a point of anger, but the matter was important, and now was not the time to dwell on these trivial matters, so he had to leave the gate of the government office for the time being.

What he didn't know was that when he was leaving, a small figure ran past the stone lion beside him. Mo Shu looked back as if feeling something, but saw nothing.

Back at the inn, Su Mu felt that this matter was really strange. Liu Xiaoran and Lu Lingjue should have set off to Wang Jiang ten days ago. Since they came for business, how could they not be in the government office, and this governor...Su Mu rubbedAs started to hold the cup in hand, always felt that everything seemed wrong.

If Liu Xiaoran had never been here, then why did the yamen servant go to inform her before telling her?Not to mention that the governor looked at him very strangely, and even the yamen servant at the door spoke with a ruffian air. If he wasn't wearing an official uniform, he would really make people think he was a bandit overlord somewhere.

Mo Shu always felt as if someone was following them on the way back, so he paid extra attention. Now that Su Mu was thinking about things seriously, he listened to the movement outside especially carefully.

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound outside the window, like the sound of wind blowing through the leaves. Su Mu didn't care at all, but Mo Shu suddenly rushed to the window to open the sash, lifted a small figure on the tree, and dragged him to the window.thrown into the house.

"Ouch!" the child yelled, rubbing his buttocks, got up and pointed at the ink book and cursed, "Why are you so fierce!"

Su Mu stared blankly at the child whom he had never met before, a little unresponsive.

Seeing that Mo Shu looked cold and didn't intend to talk to him, the child pursed his mouth, stood up and walked to Su Mu's side with great aggrievedness, then reached out and took the cup in Su Mu's hand, skillfullyPour yourself a cup of tea.

Although this looks like a ten-year-old child, his words and deeds always make people feel like an adult. Su Mu looked at the ink book and then at the child in front of him, feeling a little at a loss.

"You are……?"

"You are so stupid, I followed you all the way!" The child forgot the pain after the scar was healed, and the old god said to Su Mu on the ground.

Mo Shu on the side suddenly put on a face, as if he was going to teach this child the sinister human heart in the next second.

The child was startled by his expression, and closed his mouth wisely. After taking a sip of tea, he finally started talking about the business.

He first briefly introduced himself: "My name is Xiao Shitou, and I am the second highest martial artist in the world. Of course, in a few years, I should be the first. My master said that my talent, that’s something most people can’t ask for.”

Su Mu praised the venue and showed a surprised expression, which satisfies Xiao Shitou's vanity very well.

"Of course, you don't have to be envious. After all, there are still many ordinary people like you."

Seeing that Mo Shu was about to come up to beat someone up again, Su Mu held onto Mo Shu and asked, "Yes, yes, then dare to ask Little Stone Hero, what's the matter with us?"

Xiao Shitou, who was called "Hero" for the first time, liked the title very much. After a moment of pride, he said seriously: "I came to you to save Master."

Su Mu was slightly taken aback: "May I ask if your master is...?"

"You certainly don't know my master. He is the most powerful person in the world. Of course, no one would be his opponent. But just two months ago, my master suddenly disappeared."

"Missing?"

"Yes, it's gone, and according to my observation, the last time my master appeared was in the government office."

Little Shitou's expression became serious, and a serious expression appeared on his childish face, "We marched all the way here, Master planned to take me to the next place in a few days, but he disappeared just now.A few days ago, I vaguely remembered that he said that he seemed to have discovered some secret in the mountains, and that he wanted to do something good before leaving, but then he went to the government office and never came back."

Xiao Shitou suddenly became depressed again: "But I searched for him in the government office for a long time, but I couldn't find him, so I can only lie in ambush there every day. My intuition tells me that there is something trapping me inside."Master."

Hearing what he said, Su Mu inexplicably thought of Lu Lingjue and Liu Xiaoran who were supposed to be in the government office. He had a guess and asked, "So you came to us because...it has something to do with my two friends?"

Xiao Shitou showed some relief, patted Su Mu on the shoulder and said, "I didn't expect you to be very smart."

Before Su Mu could ask, he explained himself: "A few days—a few days ago, maybe four or five days ago, the two people you mentioned should have been to the government office. Let me ask you, how about that?"Is one of them not talkative, and the other one is particularly talkative?"

Seeing that Su Mu didn't deny it, Xiao Shitou went on to say: "That talkative one is like my master. He disappeared after entering the government office. I didn't pay attention to them at that time, so I don't know when they disappeared.What made me feel a little strange was that one night, that monkey-like adult took the one who talked less and a bunch of messy people out, and then at dawn, he came back leisurely, thatIf you talk less, you won't see it."

Su Mu's heart tightened, and he shook the little stone by the shoulders, trying to know more: "Do you know where they went?"

"I don't care about that person, why should I care where they go? I only care about where my master is." Little Shitou shrugged, "Besides, they are not in the same group. How do I know that no one disappeared later?"gone."

He stretched out a hand and patted Su Mu's shoulder, and said old-fashionedly: "Look, if you want to find someone, I also want to find my master. Why don't we help each other, although I am very powerful, yesLah, but I really haven't found any clues in the past few days."

"But if there are more people, you can always find it faster. Together, we can turn that government office upside down!"
