Moonlight and wind

"Young Master, I'll go!" Zi Zhong stood up and was about to take over Bao Datong's task of ambush, but was stopped by Shan Zimo.

"Brother Zi Zhong, you'd better stay with Miss Que. On the one hand, you can take care of her. On the other hand, you have no military power. If something happens, you will find it difficult to protect yourself. You can't expect Zi Ling'er to be killed before you find her!" Yi Yanhui tried to comfort Zi Zhong. Shan Zimo nodded, agreeing with Yi Yanhui's opinion.

"Li," he came to Li's side and gently patted the dirt off her body lovingly, "Master, I think it's best for you to do this!"

"No problem!" Li was very excited and immediately stood up and was about to leave.

"Li, don't be in a hurry," Shan Boyu pulled Li and took out a dagger from his sleeve. It was the dagger that was used as a climbing pick when he took Shan Zimo over the back mountain.

This dagger looks ordinary, but it is actually made by Master Zhiye. Its shape is simple and elegant, with smooth lines; the blade flashes with a cold light; the handle is wrapped in leather, and there are exquisite patterns carved on it, giving people a mysterious, calm and reassuring feeling. Although it is made of ordinary black iron, the craftsmanship makes it both tough and strong! Shan Boyu has always carried it with him for self-defense, but more often for peeling fruit!

"Brother Shan, you gave it to me, what do you use it for?" Li weighed the dagger in his hand, looked up and asked Shan Boyu.

"Don't worry about this, you need it more!" After saying that, Li inserted the dagger into his boot and rushed out like a fly.

At this time, a person walked in from the door and bumped into Li. After seeing clearly, Li continued to leave, and the person walked in. He was Yu Wenlin, the owner of Mo Yue Xiang Ming. "Zi Mo, I have heard about the matter," Yu Wenlin walked in by himself, and looked back cautiously, "Since I entered this prefectural mansion, those eyes that want to skin me alive!"

"Is the girl okay?" Shan Zimo asked anxiously.

"It's settled down and absolutely safe!" Yuwen Lin said confidently.

"Can't even Bao Qingjian be found?" Shan Zimo was a little skeptical and felt that Yuwen Lin was somewhat exaggerating.

"Why would he search for a dead person?" Yu Wenlin rolled his eyes. "I think you've been busy lately and your brain isn't working very well! Also, regarding Zi Ling'er's matter, I've already ordered a search throughout Yunlan City. As long as Miss Zi Ling'er hasn't left Yunlan City, there's no place I can't find her!"

"What if she leaves the city?" Xuanyue asked softly.

"That's even more impossible!" Yu Wenlin said proudly, "I have people at all the gates and exits of Yunlan City!"

"Since Yuwenlin has said so, the focus of our search is this prefectural governor's mansion!" Shan Zimo felt embarrassed after being mocked by Yuwenlin, so he quickly changed the subject. Suddenly, he realized a problem, "Can I see that woman?"

"Of course!" Yuwen Lin disagreed, "Why can't I see the person you sent? It's just..." Yuwen Lin paused, "His mental state is not very good, I feel there is something wrong here!" As he said that, Yuwen Lin pointed to his head.

"It should be a big shock, but I still want to see him in person and ask him questions." Shan Zimo said, and then left with Yu Wenlin. Shan Boyu behind him looked worried, but he still stayed to protect Xuanyue and the others.

Ever since Shan Zimo followed Yuwen Lin to the gate of the prefect's mansion, all the guards, including servants, have been watching them covetously.

"How is it?" Yu Wenlin said softly to Shan Zimo, "Isn't this look terrifying enough?"

"It seems that we will be followed if we go out. You go back to the teahouse first. I will go out to shake them off and then meet up with you!" Yuwen Lin nodded and quickly walked out of the prefectural mansion. Shan Zimo walked out of the door slowly and walked in the opposite direction.

Sure enough, behind Shan Zimo were two men in coarse cloth jackets. One of them was carrying a load on his shoulder, with vegetable baskets piled full of vegetables on both ends of the load; the other was carrying a chicken coop, with hens clucking in the coop.

Shan Zimo smiled faintly, and meandered through the alleys of Yunlan City. At a corner, Shan Zimo aimed at the high wall, jumped up, and squatted on the wall waiting for the man behind him to catch up.

"Strange, why is it gone?" asked the man picking vegetables.

"Look again, it's nearby!" The man holding the chicken coop suddenly pulled out a short knife from the coop and attacked the debris in the alley! He stabbed all the places where people could hide!

Shan Zimo seized the opportunity and jumped down from the top of the wall, just riding on the shoulders of the man in the chicken coop. He grabbed his wrists with both hands, and the huge force made the man let go of the dagger in his hand, and he was disarmed by Shan Zimo!

Shan Zimo held the short knife horizontally in front of him and flashed in front of the man picking vegetables. He wanted to cut his throat with the knife, but suddenly found that the short knife was much shorter than his Frost Snow Dragon Song Knife! Then he turned around and came behind the man, hitting him on the back of the head with the handle of the knife, and the man fainted!

Seeing that things were not going well, the chicken cage man wanted to run back to report the news. After taking two steps, he was blocked by Shan Zimo who appeared! "Where are you going in such a hurry?" Shan Zimo played with his short knife, "Why not sleep with him for a while!" As soon as he finished speaking, the handle of the knife hit the back of the man's head, and the man fainted!

Shan Zimo looked around vigilantly again, and when he was sure that there was no one following him, he threw down the dagger and ran quickly towards Mo Yue Xiangming.

Yu Wenlin had already returned to the tea shop and instructed the tea masters to check all suspicious persons around the tea shop. He then spread the tea masters around the tea shop and stood at the door anxiously waiting for Shan Zimo.

Finally, Shan Zimo seemed to be unconcerned, but Yuwenlin could see that his seemingly calm steps were filled with anxiety! Yuwenlin led Shan Zimo into his tea room and told the tea master to stand guard behind the door. The two stopped in front of a cabinet.

"She wouldn't be in this cabinet, right?" Shan Zimo pointed to the cabinet in front of him that was big enough to fit a person.

"Half right!" Yuwenlin lifted the lid of the cabinet with force, and pushed aside the sundries stored on it. There was actually a small door underneath! Yuwenlin took out a key from his arms, opened the small door, and after lifting it up, a staircase leading down appeared inside!

"You have a secret passage in this tea shop?" Shan Zimo was very happy. He felt how reliable it would be to have such teammates in the game!

"Going down the mountain with you is so exciting!" Yu Wenlin was very excited. "We have experienced a lot of thrills along the way. I have to leave some room for myself!"

The two of them walked down the narrow staircase, one in front and one behind. There was a secret room below that looked small but fully equipped! It had everything you need for daily use, which showed that Yuwen Lin was well prepared!

“Master, Master,” the woman knelt on the ground and kowtowed when she saw the two men coming down, “Please spare me, I beg you to do anything as long as I don’t die!”
