Peerless Protégé [Rebirth]

"Brother, what do you think of Nanwang?"

Luo Jiening propped his head and looked at Lin Xiangyang with a smile, and said, "I don't think Li Mingyan's matter is simple, it really is."

After that day, the two of them went to Yanzi Lane in Jiuquan Town again, but they never saw anyone coming to rob and kill them.According to the government, the alley seems to be bought by some wealthy local people for tenants to rent. It probably means a long-term inn, but most of the landlords here don’t come back. These houses are handed over to a local quite Famous men are in charge, so it looks desolate.

Luo Jiening had stayed in Qitai Mountain for so many years, and at that time he had never heard of the tenants, and when he asked Lin Xiangyang, he only heard about it for the first time.As for the assassins appearing in Jiuquan Town, Luo Jiening was a novelty.Many years ago, people from various factions could often be seen in Jiuquan Town, but there was no assassination of Xuantianlou disciples.Only Luo Jiening was surprised that these people actually used knives.

"Looking south, who is this person?"

Luo Jiening looked at him and smiled for a while, and was about to reveal the answer when a voice sounded from behind: "It's the head's child."

Luo Jiening didn't turn his head when he heard this voice, but admired Lin Xiangyang's expression.I saw that he lost his mind for a moment, and then he looked at the source of the voice, his eyes were blurred for a while, and then he became clear.Their sect leader doesn't even have a companion, if this statement is not mocking the sect leader, there must be evidence to follow.

"You said he was the head's child?" Lin Xiangyang was obviously [-]% astonished, the owner of the voice stood behind Luo Jiening, and said: "Yes."

Accompanying him was Xu Banfeng, who only said to Lin Xiangyang, "I just heard Zhili talk about this."

Luo Jiening jumped up all of a sudden, turned to the song god to face Zhong Zhili, and said with a smile: "You are here."

Zhong Zhili nodded towards him, and said, "I happened to meet senior brother on the way. We came here together."

Xu Banfeng said: "As for Yanyan, even though we went there for a few days, we still didn't get anything. Only Nanwang, the proprietress and those children's words were quite different, and we didn't know who to believe, so we kept hesitating."

Luo Jiening said: "I've met the proprietress, she's a bit older, but she shouldn't be talking nonsense. However, a woman with such a deep experience is usually very hard to see through."

When he said the last sentence, Luo Jiening had a weird smile on his lips, and there was an inexplicable excitement in his eyes looking at Zhong Zhili.Zhong Zhili looked at him like a thorn in his back, so he quickly averted his gaze.

Lin Xiangyang said: "When exactly was Nanwang discovered by Li Mingyan, so he went back to the inn? If it was before Yanzi Lane, then it's okay, if it was later, I'm afraid something happened after entering the alley. It's hard to say. The child only The Tao disappeared after turning around an alley, did he enter or not?"

Luo Jiening said with a smile: "What they say is ambiguous, which shows that no one can be trusted."

Zhong Zhili said: "Those adults, if Nan Wang is familiar with people, they will not go up to say hello. It means they are unfamiliar people."

Xu Banfeng turned to Zhong Zhili and asked, "Can you tell us in detail what you saw in Yuzhou?"

Zhong Zhili and Luo Jiening looked at each other, Luo Jiening immediately took a few steps back, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhili is enough to tell you, I'll go and see that child first!" Gollum ran away.

At this kind of moment, if he stayed where he was, he might disturb others' cleanliness. Luo Jiening was very self-aware, and he would not use his tongue to repeat a certain thing.He went all the way back to the room, and only then did he meet Na Wang.

Compared to seeing him before, Nan Wang's spirit has recovered pretty well, but he has lost a little weight.As soon as he saw Luo Jiening, he immediately came over and asked, "Is Brother Zhong back?"

Luo Jiening was quite dissatisfied and said, "I'm back."

Seeing him squinting with his arms across his chest, Nanwang suddenly flinched for no reason, and said, "When are you going to take me to see the head?"

Luo Jiening was stunned for a moment, then asked with a smile: "When do you want to see me?"

They brought him to recognize his relatives, but a series of things happened, and the promise has not been fulfilled until now, Luo Jiening felt guilty for a while, and could only hide his embarrassment with a smile.Unexpectedly, Nan Wang firmly said: "Let's go now."

Luo Jiening said haha: "The head is worrying about the poisoning of Wuchenxuan right now, and another Yanyan is missing, I'm afraid I won't be able to find time, because we have been waiting for a long time to see him just now. Otherwise, when your brother Zhong comes back, I will discuss it with him?"

As soon as Nan Wang heard Zhong Zhili, his heart calmed down a lot, he nodded and said, "Okay."

Luo Jiening flicked him past, just about to breathe a sigh of relief, but saw the door was suddenly pushed open, Luo Jiening turned his head and saw that Yang Tianming was panting and bent over the door frame, out of breath. After receiving the air, he said: "O, something happened!"

Luo Jiening's heart trembled, and he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong?"

Only then did Yang Tianming straighten his waist, glanced at Nanwang, and then looked at him and said softly: "Someone from below came up to report that the body was found."

Luo Jiening suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and asked cautiously: "Whose corpse?"

Yang Tianming's eyes were extremely complicated, and he said softly, "A girl."

Luo Jiening and Zhong Zhili only informed Lin Xiangyang and Xu Banfeng of this matter. They must have revealed the news to those three people. At this time, they were the ones who brought up Li Mingyan's disappearance. Won't two things be linked together?

Luo Jiening was stunned for a while, then asked in a deep voice: "Does Zhong Xiao know?"

Yang Tianming said: "Qing Wen said it."

"Okay." Luo Jiening looked back at Nan Wang who didn't know what happened, and said, "You stay here well, I'll go out for a while."

Nan Wang blankly replied "Yes", and Luo Jiening immediately followed Yang Tianming out.

"Where was the body found? Who found it?"

Yang Tianming said unequivocally: "The person who reported the case said that he had seen this girl. She came down from the mountain and thought she was a student, so he hurried up here. As for where he found it, he didn't say clearly, he just waited for a few people to go. have a look."

The two passed through the midfield, just in time to meet Zhong Zhili, Lin Xiangyang and Xu Banfeng who were rushing over there.Luo Jiening took a look, and the expressions of the three of them were not relaxed.Li Mingyan's disappearance has never been found, and he has a vague guess in his heart.Until now, it has finally been confirmed.However, who is so cruel that even a teenage girl can do it?And, why did you want to do something to a little girl? !

Luo Jiening became more and more irritable in his heart.He felt that since he was reborn, he seemed to have never encountered a good thing.Even with Zhong Zhili.Heavy fog covered the direction ahead, until Li Mingyan was gone, Luo Jiening only felt physically and mentally exhausted.

It was a boatman who came to report the incident, and he was wearing a coir raincoat, which was covered with water droplets, as if he had just come out of the water.At this time, it was raining lightly on Mount Qitai, so it wouldn't be so wet.Luo Jiening knew the reason when he saw it.

The boatman looked strange, he kept trembling with his mouth open, and when he saw a group of people rushing over, his expression became even more tense, as if he had killed someone and was caught instead of him discovering the body.Zhong Zhili looked at him strangely, and Luo Jiening said softly beside him: "I don't have much knowledge, I just haven't seen a corpse."

Zhong Zhili glanced at him, but saw that Luo Jiening had lost his usual expression, frowning, even his movements were much slower, his eyes were half-closed, originally he was looking at the boatman, seeing Zhong Zhili She looked at him, then turned her head to meet his eyes.Zhong Zhili saw that those originally colorless eyes immediately became energetic when they met him, and there was even a smile in his eyes.

Zhong Zhili suddenly felt that this person was really changeable, and for some reason he didn't want to look at those eyes, so he slowly looked away.

The boatman panted heavily, and said, "Young masters, I have rowed boats all my life, and I have never seen a dead person still in the middle of the river. It really annoys me, no wonder I am so rude..."

Lin Xiangyang interrupted his self-report by Gu Zi, and said, "Old man, take us to have a look."

"Ai ai." The boatman replied, leading the way forward, still mumbling, "It's a girl. What a beautiful girl. Why did she just disappear like this? I was really shocked. Who did it? It’s such a shameless thing, but it will be punished by the gods!”

At this time, Luo Jiening wanted to go up to say a few words, Zhong Zhili looked at him sideways, but saw that Luo Jiening seemed to have lost his soul, his eyes were blank, and he followed the boatman in a daze, saying a word Don't say anything.This appearance startled Zhong Zhili, and quickly asked beside him in a soft voice: "What's the matter?"

Unexpectedly, Luo Jiening seemed to turn a deaf ear to it, not even looking over his eyes.Zhong Zhili felt a little guilty for some reason, but when those smiling eyes looked at him just now, he indifferently moved his eyes away.But at this moment, he couldn't take care of so much. If it was really Li Mingyan, things would become more complicated and confusing.

The boatman took the group of people out of Xuantian Tower, and in front of them was the long river that separated the town of Jiuquan and Xuantian Tower.The river didn't have a name, it just meandered and wound into the front of Xuantian Tower's midfield, where it converged to form a lake, named Linjiu Lake.This river is also an important river that runs through the town of Jiuquan, and the villagers in the town of Jiuquan depend on this river for their livelihood.

The boatman led a group of people along the river.It was autumn at this time, and the river water had reached the lowest line, but it was still bottomless.If you go swimming hastily, there is still a high possibility of drowning.The group of people walked for a while, almost entering the village, the boatman stopped suddenly, pointed to the place where many people were standing in front, and shouted: "That's right there!"

All eyes gathered there.There was already a crowd of onlookers.The river is not too wide, just on the bank of the river, a touch of pink is looming in the river.The people who came came forward and all held their breath.

The blue water of the lake was rippled layer by layer by foreign objects, and the lake surface was already considered calm. Occasionally, when the wind blew, the corpse on the shore of the lake would shake slightly along with it.Her long black hair danced quietly in the water like an algae. The girl faced the bottom of the lake, and her pink lotus root skirt was tightly attached to her body, reflecting the girl's thin and small body.

The people standing on the shore were discussing, but when they saw a few disciples from Xuantianlou coming here, they immediately fell silent and voluntarily withdrew from a place to let them come.

The group of people looked serious, and the silence was broken only when the boatman received the order to bring people up.The boatman got on the boat and picked up the girl from behind. At that moment, the people standing on the shore saw the girl's appearance——

Her complexion was pale, and her skin was swollen horribly after being immersed in water for a long time. People exclaimed in low voices. People living in Jiuquan Town rarely see such a scene.

"Is it drowned?"

"Looking at it like that, it probably is."

Zhong Zhili frowned as he watched the boatman bring the girl's body to the shore.Beside him, even Xu Banfeng stood quietly without saying a word.Luo Jiening seemed to have regained his energy, and with a smile on his face, he stepped forward and asked the boatman: "Old man, listen to what you said just now, who are you saying will be punished by the gods?" ? Or, at a glance, the old man knows who persecuted this girl so far?"
