But he soon sent him away on the grounds that the matter involved official matters.
Mostima had a better idea of this, after all, he used to be an executor.
Arturo smiled and said, "Isn't it good enough if we don't get caught? What's there to be afraid of?"
Chen Xiu ignored her and looked at Mostima: "Keep an eye on her. Don't let her cause any trouble just after arriving in Yan Country."
"Leave it to me." Mastema replied with a smile, "I'm quite good at keeping an eye on the target."
After watching the Penguin Emperor carrying the others away, only Chen Xiu and the Sheep Lord Dolly were left there.
"Chen Xiu, when will the two volcanic eruptions you mentioned happen in the future?" Dolly asked impatiently.
Chen Xiu was also very straightforward and said bluntly: "One is in three years from now, when Una Volcano will erupt with a pyroclastic flow. The other is in the summer of seven years from now, when Xiosta Volcano will experience a real major eruption."
"Xista?" Dolly took it to heart and added, "I believe your prediction is correct. In exchange for telling me these two things, you can come back to me next time you run into trouble!"
Chen Xiu smiled upon hearing this and said, "Then I would like to thank Mr. Dolly first."
Dolly nodded, then disappeared.
Chen Xiu is one of the rare people he finds interesting. Anything that can cause Chen Xiu trouble must also be interesting. He will definitely have a lot of fun with it like he did this time!
After seeing everyone off, Chen Xiu stood there and let out a long sigh.
Everything that needed to be dealt with has been almost done, and this trip to Leithnia was quite fruitful.
I brought back a lot of people. If there was a human resources department, I feel like I would at least be the director of the human resources department.
His network of contacts has also expanded a lot. Both the Lord of Sheep and the Witch King are very reliable at critical moments.
Finally, I didn’t have a criminal record in Letania, and I will still be a good citizen when I enter the country next time!
After calculating the pros and cons, Chen Xiu saw a scaly-like white streak appear in the eastern sky.
Facing the morning light of the rising sun, the Sarkaz youth took a step forward.
Time passed quickly and soon it was sunset.
The dusk spread across the sky like molten copper, casting the gravel-strewn wasteland into a mottled dark gold. The withered and yellow weeds were bent by the wind in the afterglow, and a few crooked poplar trees stood not far away.
Lin Qingyan adjusted the hood on his head and temporarily used the staff in his hand as a crutch to support his body.
In order to catch up with those hateful human traffickers, she had hardly rested in the past few days. She did not even stop to eat or drink, for fear that she would not be able to catch up.
When I think of the evil things those guys did.
Electric arcs exploded from her body, and she wished she could use thunder magic to chop them all into pieces.
Not to mention others, just the leader of this criminal gang, Zheng Yuanlaodao, is a bastard who deserves to be killed a thousand times!
This fake Taoist priest not only likes to cheat people everywhere, but also specializes in robbing people. Over the past few decades, countless families have fallen victim to his evil hands, and he has caused them to be separated from their wives and children and their families to be destroyed.
If the kidnapped person cannot find a good family, he will do evil things such as rape and dismemberment!
Lin Qingyan recalled the old cases she had come across when she was looking through files from various places. The mere descriptions in the text made her so angry that her hair exploded on the spot.
It’s a pity that Zheng Yuanlaodao is a cunning and cautious person.
He has been roaming around committing crimes and never stays in any one place for too long.
Therefore, local governments have never been able to catch him, and even if they issued a high reward, it has had no effect.
Lin Qingyan couldn't blame them for dereliction of duty. After all, each state had its own jurisdiction, and many old cases were only confirmed in recent years to be the work of Zheng Yuanlaodao.
This is also due to the development of criminal investigation technology, otherwise it would be very difficult to solve the case.
Of course, what is meant here is finding the real murderer. Otherwise, for some people, solving the case would be as easy as playing.
Lin Qingyan is a picky person, and she doesn't want the first case she takes over to be filed away.
In addition, they happened to find the remaining traces of the Zhengyuan gang and chased them all the way.
Shaking the empty water bottle in her hand, she realized it was time to replenish her supplies.
According to the map, there's a post station not far ahead...
You can go there to replenish the supplies you need, and also have a meal and take a break.
At the same time, inside the post station.
Zheng Yuanlao and his group laid everyone down and changed them into the clothes of the original staff of the post station.
Taoist Zheng Yuan wiped his face with his hands, and soon he changed from an immortal-looking Taoist to a skinny shopkeeper who looked like he was running an inn.
"Boss, how do you know that the bitch chasing us will definitely come to this post station?" The fat cook asked as he put on his clothes, his squinting dog eyes full of curiosity.
"Because the boss is good at fortune-telling!" the thief answered, his rabbit ears standing up high.
"He does have some skills, and he's not just lying." The Night Crying Woman laughed, a rat tail swinging left and right behind her.
"Alright, let's get back to work," said Elder Zheng Yuandao. "Don't let anyone see any flaws. The people who were able to chase us this far are definitely not good people."
"She's probably one of the new female detectives from the Six Gates," the thief speculated with a smile. "We've encountered this kind of idiot before, but in the end, weren't we drugged and easily dispatched?"
Zheng Yuanlaodao raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking of the powerful Fengti Captain. It took a lot of effort to kill him.
"Brother, tell me in detail!" The fat cook immediately became interested: "How did you kill that official in the end?"
Before the thief, who was in high spirits, could start bragging about his past, Zheng Yuanlaodao coughed twice in dissatisfaction.
"Cook, there's no rush." The thief changed his tone and said, "Let's talk about it after we finish this."
"Don't forget what we're here for." Zheng Yuanlaodao glanced at the two of them and warned them coldly, "If you ruin the Sect Master's plan, you'll be lucky even if you can leave your bodies intact!"
The fat cook had no choice but to control his temper and go into the kitchen in the back room to prepare his stuff.
Zheng Yuanlaodao stood behind the counter, while Zeitouer and Yekupo started to clean and sweep the inn.
Not long after, a slender figure stepped over the threshold. Lin Qingyan glanced around the room and didn't notice anything unusual.
The thief hurried forward and his eyes flashed with surprise when he saw the stern and pretty face of the Qilin girl under the hood.
"Sir, are you here to eat, get supplies, or spend the night?" the thief asked with a big smile on his face.
"Eat and get supplies." Lin Qingyan replied casually, "I'm in a hurry, so I'll try to be quick."
"Okay!" The thief led him to the table and said, "Please wait here for a moment."
Then, he took the kettle handed to him by Lin Qingyan and quickly went to the back room.
"Cook, someone's coming." The thief lowered his voice and urged, "Hurry up and get everything ready. After all, this post station is right next to the highway, so people are bound to pass by. It would be terrible if we were caught!"
"Leave it to me!" The fat chef responded and began to prepare the food with medicine added.
Taoist Zheng Yuan was fiddling with the account book at the counter, glancing at Lin Qingyan from time to time with a slightly frown on his face.
He carries a staff but no sword. He looks like a celestial master, and his aura is quite noble. But those horns and tail...
Zheng Yuanlao paused for a moment, a frightening guess emerging in his mind, but he was still not sure.
If this woman is really a noble person of that status, whoever touches her will be seeking death!
Mr. Yuan loves making money the most in his life, and he also knows what kind of people he can and cannot mess with.
The reason he could live so long, besides being cunning and capable, was that he never messed with the wrong people.
He even did a lot of shameful things for those people and met many of their needs.
Otherwise, even if Filin really had nine lives, it would not be enough for him to die.
While he was sweating profusely, the thief rabbit had already brought hot rice and dishes from the kitchen to Lin Qingyan's table.
Zheng Yuanlaodao didn't say anything. If he showed any abnormality now, people would notice it. It would be better to give the other person the medicine and run away.
"Sir, enjoy your meal." The thief smiled warmly and said, "Your water bottle and dry food are also here."
"Thank you very much, thank you for your trouble." Lin Qingyan nodded coldly, picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
"It's okay, no trouble, no trouble." The thief said as he slowly retreated to the side.
In the back room, the fat cook couldn't help but stick his head out and stare at Lin Qingyan's back.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Qingyan had devoured most of the meal.
Suddenly, a sour feeling rose in her throat.
The Qilin girl frowned and pressed her temples. The skin touched by her fingertips was incredibly hot. The patterns on the wooden table in front of her began to twist and shift strangely, as if countless centipedes were crawling in the cracks in the wood.
"you……"
The staff hit the ground, sparks flew, and she knocked over the bowl as she staggered to her feet.
Thunder was faintly visible at the cuffs of his sleeves, but the power was weakened by the softness that surged from his limbs and bones, as if a thousand-pound quicksand was leaking from his fingertips into nothingness.
The thief's shadow split into three or four shadows that gathered around her. His greasy smiling face grew and shrank in the dim light, as if mocking her carelessness.
"Sir, how could you be so careless?"
The sharp sneer mixed with the buzzing tinnitus made Lin Qingyan realize the great crisis.
“Don’t touch…you guys…” She bit her tongue and tried to stay awake, but the fat chef’s special medicine was special.
The Qilin girl leaned back, trying to avoid the knife in the thief's hand, but suddenly heard a faint sound of a gunshot.
Before he lost consciousness, Lin Qingyan vaguely saw Custer covering his hands and howling in pain.
"Yes, who's coming? He's wielding a gun. He doesn't look like a knight, but he doesn't look like a bandit either..."
Chapter 133: The Dangerous Jianghu, the Witchcraft (4K)
Lightning flashed suddenly and electric current rushed.
The moment Lin Qingyan lost consciousness, spider-web-like lightning covered her surroundings.
A talisman-shaped accessory that she hung around her waist suddenly emitted a three-foot-high light, and the seal characters on it were like a dragon circling around its body. After being activated, it immediately summoned a thunder magic barrier to protect its master.
The rabbit-eared thief who was closest to him had no time to dodge. The lightning snake that sprang up actually drilled into his body along his fingertips like a living thing. His internal organs instantly turned into a purgatory of thunder and fire, and his bones exploded with a dull sound like firecrackers under his skin.
The screams suddenly rose several pitches, but soon died down.
Chen Xiu stared at the talisman and thought: No wonder the old guys were so confident in letting Tou Tielin, who lacked experience in the martial arts world, go out alone. It turned out that they were giving him a talisman to help him settle down.
In this case, the purpose of my coming here changes from saving her to helping capture the wanted criminal.
It's not a wasted trip, after all, the group of people in Zheng Yuanlaodao are full of evil. If we let them run rampant, we don't know how many people will be harmed.
Now the rabbit-eared guy was burned to charcoal by the thunder and fire, and it was obvious that he was going to die. There were only three enemies left.
Chen Xiu immediately turned his gun and pointed it at the thin shopkeeper behind the counter. He should be the so-called veteran.
The series of unexpected events frightened the fat chef, but Zheng Yuanlaodao reacted immediately.
"Night Crying Woman!"
Zheng Yuanlaodao shouted and jumped out from behind the counter.
He formed seals with his hands and his figure suddenly split into multiple afterimages in mid-air, trying to disrupt Chen Xiu's aim.
Chen Xiucai was too lazy to identify it carefully. He moved his gun-holding hand casually and pulled the trigger without even looking.
The bullet hit Zheng Yuanlaodao's body accurately, but was blocked by a yellow talisman paper.
Before Chen Xiu could chase him and fire again, the Rat-tailed Night Crying Woman beside him started to show her power.
"woo woo woo woo--!!!"
The night-crying woman's hunched back suddenly arched, and turbid tears burst out from her sunken eye sockets.
The hoarse crying sounded like the wailing of an old crow at first, but in an instant it turned into the shrill cries of thousands of babies, shaking the beams of the post station so much that they trembled and fell to dust, and the sound poured into people's ears like a devil's voice.
"Have pity on my son..."
Her palms, like dry bark, slapped the ground, and each dull sound was like a heavy hammer hitting the chest of the person next to her.
The lights in the post station were strangely stretched to a pale green, making the thick sores on the Night Crying Woman's tail shine with oil. A spooky ghostly aura filled the face, making people feel like they had come to a mass grave in the wilderness.
"That year, during the famine, we ate Guanyin soil. I, your wife, fed my last half bowl of bran to my youngest child in swaddling clothes. How could the officials know the suffering of a land plagued by starvation? The year the third girl was abducted by a matchmaker and sent to a brothel, I knelt in front of the temple and kowtowed 999 times!!"
Chen Xiu felt as if a force was trying to influence his emotions and heart, trying to arouse his empathy and make him feel the same way about the Night Crying Woman's tragic past, whether true or false.
