Sweet as candy

Xiao Lang disappeared.

Xue Shiji was devastated.

At first, he didn't see anyone for a whole day. Xue Shiji searched around but said he didn't see anyone.

Even the cleaning disciple said that the last time he saw Xiao Lang was already last night.

Could it be that he received some secret mission and went out alone to execute it?

This kind of situation of leaving without saying goodbye has also happened to Xiao Lang before, most of them were because of the urgency of the situation.

It wasn't until the third day, when Song Fengqing came to inquire, that Xue Shiji knew that something was wrong.

After knowing the situation, Song Fengqing immediately sent people out to search.

"Hao Ran City is heavily guarded, it is unlikely that an enemy came to the door. When you saw him the last time, did he behave differently?"

Xue Shiji thought about it carefully, Xiao Lang didn't do anything strange that day.

According to what Song Fengqing said, it is unlikely that Xiao Lang met his enemies in Haoran City.

If seeking revenge is ruled out, if he leaves voluntarily, according to Xiao Lang's prudence, he should have informed them in advance.

Xue Shiji thought for a while, then stepped into Xiao Lang's room again.

That day when he came to look for someone, he didn't search carefully if he was not among them.

Everything in the house remained the same, Xue Shiji found the disciple who was in charge of cleaning the room, and asked, "Did you come here to clean it in the past few days?"

The disciple shook his head and said, "Hero Xiao said that his room doesn't need to be cleaned every day, the flowers and plants at the door will be taken care of by Miss Song."

Knowing that it hadn't been touched, Xue Shiji felt relieved, and searched through everything in the room, and finally found a piece of waste paper that had been ravaged beyond recognition beside the pillow.

It has an address written on it, which is in the next town.

- Haoran City is heavily guarded, it is unlikely that an enemy came to the door.

What if you lure him out?

If brother Xiao really went to this place, why didn't he notify them in advance?Who is he going to meet?

"Shi Ji, did you find anything?"

Before he could figure out why, Song Shuyan's voice came.Xue Shiji froze, and hid the note in his arms without thinking.

He turned around and tried his best to calm down and said, "No, what did the leader say?"

"Father is still asking about those people around Brother Xiao."

Song Shuyan frowned: "But it didn't go well. They all said they didn't know about it. Brother Xiao usually doesn't like to bother others, and he does everything by himself. They haven't seen anyone for a while and don't think it's strange. Suspect The biggest one is only a cook, but that cook almost bumped into a pillar to show her innocence, and my father is afraid of causing a commotion, so people will suppress the matter first."

Aunt Zhang was unwell some time ago, and the Wulin League assigned Xiao Lang another cook.But on the one hand, the cook has a clean foundation, and on the other hand, the accident happened suddenly, so the possibility of being drugged is not very high.

Xue Shiji pondered for a moment, and said: "Shuyan, I remembered something and I have to go out, you just wait here for me, don't run around, let alone let anyone enter this room casually."

He arrived according to the instructions on the paper, and the place was already empty.

Xue Shiji carefully inspected the house with his sword in hand, and seeing that there were really no clues left, he gritted his teeth resentfully, and asked the neighbor beside him for questioning.

"Which family? I don't know. I heard that this house has been sold long ago. It seems that some people lived in it a while ago, but they all left after a few days."

Xue Shiji's heart tightened, and he asked, "Do you know what they look like? Is there a man in blue clothes among them, who is about this tall and very handsome."

"No." The man scratched his head, a little confused: "This family moved in and out overnight, wrapping themselves up in such a mysterious way that I couldn't even see them."

"Then when they left, did they make any strange movements? Did you see which direction they were going?"

"No." The continuous questioning made the other party a little vigilant, he took a step back, and pretended to close the door when he saw something wrong: "Why are you asking so many questions, what happened next door?"

Xue Shiji gently pressed the door with one hand, thought for a while, and imitated Xiao Lang's previous tone and said: "Don't be afraid, I am from the government. The family next to you may be a fugitive. Please cooperate. If the arrest is successful , there must be a lot of thanks."

Hearing this, the man breathed a sigh of relief, and recalled: "They only stayed here for two days, and left in a hurry the night before. At first I thought it was just a trip, but when I passed by, I found it was empty inside." , I found out that I moved away again."

The day before yesterday was Xiao Lang's last appearance in the Wulin League.

"The night they left, was there a fight or something unusual in the house?"

The other party thought about it carefully: "It seems not, it was quite quiet. But I know they got into the carriage in the end, and I heard the rolling sound of wheels passing behind my house."

Other than that, there is nothing more to ask.

Xue Shiji got on his horse and left, but the man behind him didn't forget to shout: "Master, if you catch me, don't forget me!"

Xue Shiji nodded perfunctorily, and rode his horse towards the other side of the town.

Apart from Haoran City, there is only one other exit from this town.No matter who the person who meets Brother Xiao is, he will definitely not choose to leave Haoran City, which is strictly guarded.

Xue Shiji found the guard at the town gate and showed his martial arts alliance token: "Did you see a strange carriage going out from here the night before?"

The guard said bitterly: "Hero, there are dozens of horse-drawn carriages that pass by the gate of this town every day. What you are talking about is strange. What exactly do you mean?"

Xue Shiji was in a hurry, wishing to turn back time a few days, put his eyes on the city gate and stare at it personally: "Then let me change the question, have you seen a fainted person wearing blue clothes on a carriage?"

"No." This time the guard replied quickly: "We have checked one by one, and there is no such person."

Heck.

Could it be that they haven't left this town yet?Or where are Brother Xiao hidden by them?

With his current power, he still can't mobilize so many people to investigate these.If the delay continues, brother Xiao's situation is likely to get worse.

Xue Shiji struggled for a while, but finally made up his mind and went back to tell Song Fengqing about it.

Song Fengqing immediately took people to search the house, but as the neighbor said, the other party came and went in a hurry, and what was left in the house was only the belongings of the previous owner, and nothing could be found.

Time flies, several days have passed, but Xiao Lang's whereabouts still have no progress.

Xiao Lang had not been seen for a long time, and Song Fengqing and Xue Shiji frowned every day, going in and out to discuss something, gradually the rumors in the alliance could not be suppressed.

Finally, one day, Liang Pian couldn't hold back and pressed Xue Shiji against the wall at a corner.

Xue Shiji was puzzled, he had been busy looking for Xiao Lang's whereabouts recently, and was depressed.The other party suddenly attacked him again, and he was even more angry: "Liang Pian, why are you crazy?"

Liang Pian said: "I just want to ask you. Xue Shiji, what are you and Xiao Lang planning?"

"Let go." Hearing Xiao Lang's name, Xue Shiji violently broke away from him, and looked at him coldly: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Don't you know anything about the recent rumors outside?" Liang Pian looked anxious, and fanned the bone fan in his hand quickly: "They all said that Xiao Lang disappeared."

"What does it have to do with you."

"Of course it's related, no, it has nothing to do with me." Liang Pian said: "But do you know that rumors are going crazy now, saying that I'm jealous of him and want to get rid of this opponent before the martial arts conference!"

Xue Shiji sneered, and was about to walk out after passing him.Liang Pian stepped forward to stop him: "Xue Shiji, I know you don't like me, but I swear to God, I never used any despicable means to harm him. Tell me, where did he go?"

Of course Xue Shiji knew it wasn't Liang Pian's doing.The meeting is approaching, in order to maintain the image in the hearts of the people, Liang Pian is eager to publicize her image as a good person to the world, no matter what, she will not be so stupid as to attack her competitors at this juncture.

"I never said that you did it. Those who clean themselves will clear themselves. The leader must have his own judgment. Why are you panicking?"

"Can I not panic?" Liang Pian said angrily, "What a clearer will clear himself up. Don't you know how many followers Xiao Lang has? Rumors are powerful enough to kill a person!"

Xue Shiji was upset: "In this case, then cooperate with us in finding someone, it's good for you and me!"

"enough!"

While the two were arguing, Song Fengqing came over.

The two separated immediately, and Song Fengqing reprimanded: "The person hasn't been found yet, and the two of them are arguing here, so that the disciples can see it, how decent is it?"

In front of the leader, no one dared to make mistakes, and both of them lowered their heads.

"I will send someone to clarify the rumors outside. Liang Pian, don't meddle in this matter for now."

He glanced at Xue Shiji: "Follow me."

Xue Shiji glared at Liang Pian, and followed them out sullenly.

"After thinking about it, I can't keep this matter a secret."

As soon as Song Fengqing opened his mouth, Xue Shiji was shocked: "Why?"

"I haven't seen anyone for such a long time, so it's not a good idea to keep it a secret." Song Fengqing said, "Except for Haoran City, the town next door has been turned upside down by us, and there are still no clues. Then Are you going to look for people all over the world when you come down?"

Xue Shiji was speechless, and Song Fengqing said again: "Instead of running around like a headless chicken, it's better to spread the news and ask the knights in the rivers and lakes to help find it together, it will be more hopeful."

He turned his head to look at Xue Shiji who was silent, sighed, and patted him on the shoulder lightly: "I know you are worried about your brother Xiao. Auspicious people have their own fortune, and he will be fine. You It's too tense, go back to sleep, I will let people spread the news, and ask various gangs to help search for his whereabouts."

Xue Shiji left in silence. On the way back, several disciples couldn't help asking whether Xiao Lang had really disappeared, but he didn't answer.

He looked depressed, but he confirmed the rumors. Everyone was shocked, and some of Xiao Lang's followers almost burst into tears: "How could this be? Yes, why did you disappear without even seeing him?"

The person beside him comforted him: "It's okay, Daxia Xiao has great martial arts skills, and he will definitely come back safely."

Xue Shiji's back paused, and then he quickened his pace.

Song Shuyan is waiting in the room, these days she is worried about Xiao Lang's safety, she has lost a lot of weight.Seeing Xue Shiji coming back, he hurriedly went up to meet him and asked, "What did Dad say?"

Xue Shiji relayed Song Fengqing's words again, Song Shuyan nodded thoughtfully, looked at Xue Shiji's gloomy face, hesitated for a while, and then said softly: "Shi Ji, there is actually one more thing, maybe it has something to do with Brother Xiao's disappearance, it's just me Not sure."

At this time, any clues cannot be easily let go, Xue Shiji asked, "What?"

Song Shuyan said: "Maybe I'm thinking too much, but... Brother Xiao is gone, could it have something to do with Amu?"

Xue Shiji did not explain the reason for Mu Yunyi's departure in detail.

He just kept his face sullen and told everyone in a very serious tone that Amu cheated and hurt Xiao Lang, and if he saw him again from now on, he would only be an enemy.

So Song Shuyan was worried that the other party was ungrateful and wanted to hurt Xiao Lang again.But at the same time, the details of getting along with Mu Yunyi are still vivid in her memory, and she is very unwilling to believe that it was her former partner who did this kind of thing.

After what she said, Xue Shiji was really not sure.

But Mu Yunyi's true identity is only known to him and Brother Xiao.If this matter is reported to the lord, it will be necessary to leave behind Xiao Lang's mistrust of others to lure wolves into the house.But if you don't tell the leader, if that guy is really a hindrance, wouldn't you miss the chance to rescue Brother Xiao?

Damn, what should he do!
