Chapter 2: Lin Man'er mysteriously disappeared, and Qinglongwei searched everywhere

The sky is getting dark, and outside the four gates of Jiangcheng, there are fewer and fewer people entering the city. Counting the time, this should be the last day of the registration of the hundred-year-old disciple competition. After another half an hour, the four generals defending the city each received a message from the Qinglong internal guard, asking if Lin Man'er could enter the city.

Among them, Shen Hongming, the general guarding the city at the east gate, was surprised after receiving the order. It stands to reason that Lin Man'er entered the city in a very high-profile manner before, even if it didn't cause a sensation, he should be seen by the eyes of the royal family. But now, why ask him?

Just as he was thinking, Li Shuofa, the commander of the internal guard, asked, "Why is General Shen stunned?" ”

Shen Hongming woke up in shock and hurriedly replied: "I lost my mind for a while, and I ask Commander Li to forgive me." ”

Li Shuo said a little impatiently: "That's it, can Lin Man'er enter the city?" ”

"Back to Commander Li, Lin Man'er entered the city two hours ago."

Li Shuo sighed and said to himself: "Strange, since he has already entered the city, why doesn't he enter the palace to face the saint?" ”

Shen Hongming smiled and explained: "Commander Li doesn't know that Lin Man'er brought a very beautiful woman with him when he entered the city. Perhaps, it is necessary to settle it down first, and then enter the palace to face the saint! ”

After Li Shuo heard this, his face instantly became gloomy, and he snorted coldly: "Hmph! It's all burning eyebrows, it's rare that he still has this interest. ”

Shen Hongming laughed embarrassedly and replied: "In my humble and humble opinion, this just shows Lin Man'er's confidence in this big competition. ”

Li Shuo said with a resentful face: "Hmph, if self-confidence works, then do you still need a competition?" Just give him the stunning sword, and save him trouble. ”

When Shen Hongming heard this, he always felt a little familiar. Without waiting for him to think about it, Li Shuo continued to ask, "In which direction did he go?" ”

"Uh...... It must be the location of the Honka Inn! Shen Hongming said with some uncertainty.

Li Shuo answered, and led the Qinglong internal guards to the Honka Inn.

——————————

As the largest inn in Jiangcheng, Honka Inn not only has luxurious decoration, but more importantly, its service. For example, the Honka Inn spent a lot of money to build a Dan Room specifically for Dan Xiu. For another example, the owner of Honka Inn reached a cooperation intention with Zuixianju. As a result, guests can enjoy fine food and wine without entering the Drunken Immortal Residence.

Not only that, but Honka Inn has also partnered with the royal family to provide guests with access to the Royal Gardens. Of course, this qualification is not a small amount. Moreover, if you have money and no corresponding identity, you can't get in.

There's no way, after all, it's a royal garden, so you can't even put evil cultivation in it for the sake of property! If this is the case, in the event of a murder, then this responsibility can be borne by Honka Inn.

Having said that, as the president of the Carp Chamber of Commerce and leading the young talents of Meizhou, Yu Wazi naturally will not choose a place with poor treatment. Then the Honka Inn is undoubtedly the place to be.

Before Lin Man'er left Yanlin County, she learned where Yu Wazi was staying in Jiang Cheng. The reason why this is so is because Yu Wazi sent someone to the Honka Inn very early on. It can't be helped, it's better to spend more money than to live with money and no land. After all, the Honka Inn charges are high, but most people can afford it.

In the Tianzi room, Yu Wazi, Fan Haoyang, and Ji Yunquan were waiting anxiously. It stands to reason that Lin Man'er should have arrived in advance, but now that they have arrived for five days, Lin Man'er has not arrived. Seeing that the registration for the City Lord's Mansion is about to end, how can the fish baby not be in a hurry!

Suddenly, there was a sound in the courtyard of the inn, and then I heard the question "Where is Lin Man'er". The three of them glanced at each other, all shaking their heads and sighing. Apparently, they have heard this more than once.

There is no way, as soon as Changle Fang's favorite list came out, it directly blew up the nest in Jiangcheng. Many young talents of Donghao have searched for Lin Man'er's traces to see if they live up to their name. Moreover, most of them are disciples of Guzhou College and Hakshu Branch.

Therefore, Yu Wazi and the others were already annoyed, so they simply hid and didn't go out. However, this time it was not the person who was looking for Lin Man'er, but the monarch of Donghao - Dongfang Yunqi.

In the courtyard, the guys at the Honka Inn saw Li Shuo coming to deliver the decree, and how dare they slack off. While informing the innkeeper, he went to invite Xiao Yu, the president of the carp Chamber of Commerce.

Li Shuo saw that Lin Man'er heard the summons and did not come out, so he was angry and said, "It's really unreasonable. Whoever comes, immediately go up and bring him down to the Commander. ”

In the Tianzi Inn, the guy rushed in, and asked Xiao Yu to hurry up and take the order. Yu Wazi heard it in a fog, and asked casually: "Who will you take?" ”

The guy breathed a sigh of relief and replied: "Commander Li Shuo personally led the team, this must be our Donghao monarch!" ”

After hearing this, Yu Wazi slapped his forehead and hurriedly went out to receive the order. In a hurry, he happened to bump into the Qinglong internal guard who was going upstairs. The embarrassing thing is that for some reason, the Qinglong internal guard with a five-grade cultivation was knocked away.

Unfortunately, the Qinglong Inner Guard who was knocked away happened to fall in front of Li Shuo's eyes. With such a scene, how could Li Shuo not be misunderstood. At that moment, he took out his spear and shouted: "Good for you, Lin Man'er, dare to attack the Qinglong internal guard." Today, the Commander is going to have a few tricks with you. ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw Yu Wazi hurrying out and explained: "Commander Li misunderstood, Lin Man'er is not here. ”

After Li Shuo heard this, he put away his spear and asked, "Who are you?" ”

Yu Wazi glanced at the Qinglong internal guard who was knocked away by him on the ground, and said with some embarrassment: "Commander Li, forgive me, my name is Xiao Yu, and like Lin Man'er, he is the president of the Carp Chamber of Commerce. A few days ago, President Lin deliberately took the first step for the sake of this big competition. But for some reason, I haven't arrived until now. ”

Li Shuo snorted and said sarcastically: "If your President Lin really attaches so much importance to it, he won't hug the beauty and only enter the city today." ”

After hearing this, Yu Wazi stubbornly explained: "Commander Li misunderstood, that woman is none other than our President Lin's wife. ”

"Bastard! That Lin Man'er is also a figure with a head and a face, if he gets married, how can there be no news in Meizhou? ”

"Uh...... We, President Lin, are low-key, so outsiders don't know about it. When he said this, even the fish baby herself felt panicked.

Sure enough, Li Shuo stomped on his spear and said with a suffocating voice: "Low-key? Scold... You're too embarrassed to speak. Your President Lin stepped on the pterodactyl and flew into the city in front of the monks of all countries. Could you please tell this commander that if he is high-profile, will he have to kill a few city guards to help him have fun? ”

This time, the fish baby really had nothing to say. Fortunately, Li Shuo didn't embarrass him, sighed, and asked, "According to General Shen, who guarded the city at the east gate, this is where Lin Man'er flew after entering the city. In terms of time, he should have arrived long ago. You really didn't see him? ”

"Commander Li Mingjian, I really haven't seen it below."

Li Shuo frowned, and asked again, "According to what you say, where will he go?" ”

After thinking about it, Yu Wazi came up with an answer. However, he really didn't dare to say this answer. So, he flickered and said, "In my opinion, President Lin should go to the City Lord's Mansion to sign up." After all, it's not too early. The last sentence became quieter the more he spoke.

Li Shuo snorted, and when he was about to lead the Qinglong Inner Guard to the City Lord's Mansion, he suddenly realized something. At that moment, he stared at the fish baby and asked, "Did you injure the Qinglong internal guard?" ”

Yu Wazi's heart twitched, and he hurriedly explained: "Commander Li, don't misunderstand, I was in a hurry to go downstairs and accidentally bumped into it." ”

"Oh, so your cultivation is not weaker than Lin Man'er?"

"Commander Li laughed, although he and President Lin are brothers, there is a big difference in cultivation."

After Li Shuo heard this, he said with a smile: "One blow will hit the Qinglong internal guard, and President Xiao will be too humble." ”

Yu Wazi smiled and did not answer. Li Shuo was still in a hurry to find Lin Man'er, so he didn't make a move. Before leaving, he left a sentence: Since President Xiao has unique skills, he should work tirelessly to contribute to my Donghao!

——————————

In the City Lord's Mansion, the last batch of contestants are queuing up to sign up. After their identity is verified, the primary election will be held tomorrow.

The primary selection adopts a four-in-one elimination system, that is, winning four consecutive games to advance to the next round. After that, the follow-up will be arranged according to the remaining number of people. That is, if there are too many people, try again until there are 100 people.

At that time, the winner will have seven days to recuperate. Seven days later, led by Bao Xiujun, the vice president of Guzhou College, he went to Guzhou College to participate in the finals. It is worth mentioning that the final will be similar to the Meizhou Branch Longmei List to determine the final leader.

Having said that, in the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion, the current City Lord Jiang Liqun was receiving a guest from Yinzhou. Suddenly, a subordinate came to report that the internal guards were waiting outside the house.

After Jiang Liqun heard this, he sighed a little helplessly. Obviously, he had already guessed the intention of the internal guard. However, until this time, he had not received any information about Lin Man'er.

For this reason, he has sent people to ask Xiao Yu, the president of the carp Chamber of Commerce, many times. It's a pity that Xiao Yu didn't see Lin Man'er either. Jiang Liqun had no choice but to order someone to secretly search in the city. However, Jiang Cheng is very big, and it is indeed difficult to find someone quietly.

In the main hall, Jiang Liqun got up, looked at the guests, and said respectfully: "Please wait for Princess Muxue, Benzhou needs to go to receive the order." ”

Xuanyuan Muxue smiled and made a gesture of please. Jiang Liqun bowed his head back, and then walked out with a sad face.

In the hall, Xuanyuan Muxue rubbed her eyebrows, and said with a headache: "This guy has never made people worry-free. ”

As soon as the words fell, he saw a man in a yellow shirt beside him smile knowingly: "Young people are fun, maybe they will come in a while." ”

Xuanyuan Muxue shook his head slightly and said, "You don't know him, don't talk about it for a while, even tomorrow he may not be able to appear." ”

"Wouldn't that be a good time to sign up?" The man in the yellow shirt asked.

Xuanyuan Mucha got up, slowly walked to the door, looked at Jiang Cheng's night sky, and said with a sly smile: "At this time and that time, even if he doesn't participate in the primary election, he will not be eliminated." After all, my uncle really made a clever move! ”

——————————

Outside the City Lord's Mansion, Li Shuo asked Jiang Liqun if Lin Man'er had already signed up. Jiang Liqun truthfully replied to the current situation and said that he would definitely find Lin Man'er before the end of the primary.

After Li Shuo heard this, he frowned, and said to himself: "In this way, Lin Man'er didn't come here. But the question is, where will he go? ”

Jiang Liqun heard the clue and asked, "Lin Man'er has entered the city?" ”

Li Shuo came back to his senses and nodded: "Calculate the time, it will be almost three hours for him to enter the city." ”

"It shouldn't be! If you're already in the city, why don't you sign up? ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard a man behind Jiang Liqun muttering, "Will you get lost?" ”

After Jiang Liqun heard this, he couldn't wait to slap him. However, that one was his own son, Jiang Hao. If you slap him in front of outsiders, it will inevitably bring him into disrepute, which is really unwise.

At that moment, he coughed and said to Li Shuo stubbornly: "Although what the dog said is not considered, this situation cannot be ruled out. ”

Li Shuo sighed in his heart: Alas! Pity the hearts of parents all over the world! Unexpectedly, the dignified Guzhou Governor and Jiangcheng City Lord could say such stupid words.

With this alone, it was impossible for Li Shuo to reprimand Jiang Hao again. I wanted to get around this stubble, but the problem is that I can't get around it! At that moment, he replied with some embarrassment: "Lord Jiang doesn't know, this commander set off from the east gate and flew all the way to the Honka Inn. During this period, I did not see the ...... Lin Man'er who entered the city secretly. ”

Although Li Shuo changed his words in time, his behavior made Jiang Liqun feel even more embarrassed. However, the embarrassment is yet to come.

Just as Jiang Liqun was thinking about how to speak, he saw Jiang Hao very straightforward and said, "Will it be hijacked?" ”

Li Shuo smiled bitterly and replied, "With that Lin Man'er's cultivation, it should be impossible. ”

"It's hard to say, if the thieves set up an ambush in advance, they will still be caught." Jiang Hao muttered.

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention. Li Shuo seemed to have guessed something, looked at Jiang Liqun, and said earnestly: "Lord Jiang, Your Majesty attaches great importance to this big competition. I hope that Lord Jiang will not be afraid of hardships and dangers and relieve His Majesty's worries! ”

Jiang Liqun understood what Li Shuo meant, this Lin Man'er was intercepted halfway. Moreover, the interceptor is afraid that it is not easy to mess with! Thinking of this, Jiang Liqun said with a solemn expression: "Please ask Commander Li to tell Your Majesty that as long as Lin Man'er is in Jiang City, Benzhou will definitely be able to find him." ”

Li Shuo nodded, and reminded Jiang Liqun in the form of secret art transmission. That is, before Lin Man'er entered the city, Zhong Haoqing, the granddaughter of the general, also rode a pterodactyl and flew through the city gate.

The interval between the two is not very long, and there must have been an encounter before entering the city. Moreover, with Zhong Haoqing's previous habits, he would "greet" the city guards when he entered the city, but this time he didn't.

In addition, Ling Guanyu of the Central Plains also made trouble because of entering the city. Moreover, he also threatened to make Lin Man'er unable to stand on the stage. This person behaved perversely, and it was very likely that he would attack Lin Man'er.

After Jiang Liqun heard this, he gave a clear look. After that, Li Shuo led the Qinglong internal guard back to the palace to restore the decree.

After he left, Jiang Hao asked his father: "Father, isn't it just Lin Man'er?" Why does Your Majesty attach so much importance to it? ”

Jiang Liqun sighed and replied: "Your Majesty doesn't value him, but attaches importance to the reputation of our Donghao!" As you can see, this time Dabi is the leader of the major royal families. And among our Donghao's candidates, the only one who can match it is Lin Man'er! ”

Jiang Hao shook his fist and said angrily: "Alas, it's really not as good as the generation!" If it weren't for my age, I wouldn't have allowed people from other countries to be arrogant. ”

After Jiang Liqun heard this, he immediately reprimanded: "Okay, don't you know what strength you have?" Don't say that you have exceeded the limit, even if you haven't exceeded it, who can you beat among those ten people? ”

Jiang Hao said unconvinced: "Father can't help but underestimate his son. ”

"Look? Hehe...... You take a good look at the records of those ten people, which one does not have a record of crossing the border to kill the seven products? ”

Jiang Hao has been practicing at Guzhou Academy, and he doesn't know much about the outside world. When he heard the phrase "crossing the border and killing the seven products", the whole person looked a little confused. After all, in his impression, the gap between the sixth and seventh grades is insurmountable.

At the very least, it is not seen in this day and age. But now, ten of them have popped up all at once, how can he accept this!

Jiang Liqun looked at his own son, shook his head, and returned to the house to continue to receive Xuanyuan Muxue. After all, as far as he heard, this person has a very close relationship with Lin Man'er, and maybe he can help!

In the main hall, Jiang Liqun asked Xuanyuan Muxue about Ling Guanyu's situation. After all, Ling Guanyu is from the Central Plains, and Xuanyuan Muxue, as the princess of the Central Plains royal family, will naturally know something.

However, after hearing this, Xuanyuan Muxue did not answer, but looked at the man in yellow shirt beside him. Obviously, she knew very little about Ling Guanyu's situation.

The man thought about it seriously for a moment and replied: "With my understanding of Ling Guanyu, even if he has a conflict with Lin Man'er, he will not attack him outside the court." What's more, these two people are both six-rank cultivators, and if they really make a move, it is impossible for the guards in the city not to know. Unless ......"

When the words came to his mouth, the man swallowed and looked at the city lord Jiang Liqun. Obviously, this is not referring to the incompetence of the city guards, who were killed together.

After Jiang Liqun heard this, he smiled confidently and said: "I, the Jiangcheng Patrol, can use the token to mobilize the city protection array, don't say that there are only six grades, even seven grades." Perhaps, it was General Zhong's granddaughter who invited him back to his home as a guest. After speaking, he picked up the teacup on the table, and only blew and did not drink.

Xuanyuan Muxue naturally understood Jiang Liqun's intention to toast to the guest. At that moment, he glanced at the man helplessly. The man shrugged his shoulders and smiled back. Then, Xuanyuan Muxue got up to say goodbye and left the City Lord's Mansion.

——————————

Jiangcheng Ancient Song Inn, since Li Shuo left, the news of Lin Man'er's disappearance spread in the city like wings. All of a sudden, the various versions of the short story became the talk of the cultivators. Even, some good deeds actually blocked the door of the Honka Inn and asked the fish baby to come out and explain.

Interestingly, the fish babies didn't wait for them to come out, but they waited for another one. That is, the light system of the seven-grade cultivation - Fan Haoyang. There is no doubt that Fan Haoyang, with his powerful cultivation, explained it well.

If it weren't for the owner of the Honka Inn to stop it, I'm afraid Fan Haoyang's explanation would have made the good deeds lie down for half a year. However, even so, half a month is inevitable. Of course, after the explanation, the ears of the three of them were finally cleared.

In the Tianzi room, the fish baby wandered left and right, repeating "Why haven't you come yet!" This sentence. Fan Haoyang leaned back in his chair, looking really upset, so he admonished: "Brother, can you sit down?" I'm stunned by you. ”

Ji Yunquan also chimed in: "Sit down!" It's not a way for you to hang around like this. ”

Yu Wazi sighed, and was about to speak, when he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door. Hearing the sound, he thought that he had sent someone to find Lin Man'er, so he urged: "It's all at this time, what are you knocking on?" Hurry on in. (PS: Lin Man'er doesn't seem to have the habit of knocking on the door.) )

As soon as the words fell, I saw a woman wearing a Qingluan wide-sleeved flying feather skirt walk in. He was followed by two men, one in a yellow shirt and a noble demeanor. The other was bare-chested, with a thick chain around his waist and chest.

I saw the woman slowly walking towards the fish baby and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for many years, President Xiao is okay?" ”

Yu Wazi recognized Feng Lan, and remembered that Lin Man'er had been with Bai Zhi all these years. At that moment, his heart twitched, and he hurriedly gave Ji Yunquan a look.

Ji Yunquan understood, got up and greeted: "I didn't know that Princess Muxue was coming, and I didn't welcome her, and I hope to forgive my sins." ”

Xuanyuan Muxue turned her head to look at Ji Yunquan, and said with a smile: "Oh, it turned out to be Vice President Ji!" Please forgive this palace for being clumsy, I didn't recognize it for a while. ”

When Ji Yunquan heard this, a chill suddenly welled up in his heart, especially when he saw the sharp eyes of the two behind Xuanyuan Muxue.

Seeing this, the fish baby sighed helplessly and asked Fenglan to take a seat. After that, while pouring tea, he said tentatively: "Sister Fenglan, Brother Man'er is not here." ”

Feng Lan picked up the teacup, took a sip, and replied, "I know this." ”

"Then Sister Fenglan, do you know where Ling Guanyu of your country is?"

Fenglan looked up at the fish baby and asked with a smile, "What are you looking for him?" ”

"Oh, yes. I've heard that when Brother Barbarian entered the city, he seemed to have a slight misunderstanding with him. Therefore, I want to ask him if he knows the whereabouts of Brother Man'er. ”

Feng Lan first played with the teacup, and then his face suddenly changed, and he poured all the remaining tea on the face of the fish baby. This time, the atmosphere in the room was awkward.

Fortunately, Yu Wazi has also seen the world, and wiped the tea off her face very indifferently, and said almost simply: "Sister Fenglan, what are you doing?" Although I really didn't wash my face today, I don't need to waste a cup of tea! ”

Feng Lan snorted, crushed the teacup, and reprimanded: "Don't give me this set, it's not your turn to interfere in my affairs with him." After speaking, he turned his head to stare at Ji Yunquan, "And you, Yang Fengyin is violated, are you a fool to me?" ”

Ji Yunquan is bitter in his heart! I knew that he wouldn't have come to Jiangcheng.

Interestingly, Fan Haoyang doesn't understand the relationship between Fenglan and Lin Man'er. Now, seeing that the other party is so arrogant, he doesn't take him seriously at all. Displeased in his heart, he said in a strange voice: "Forgive the old man for being lonely and unheard, I don't know when this ancestral star was unified by the Central Plains royal family." How can a princess of another country dare to be majestic in the capital of Donghao? ”

Before Feng Lan could speak, he saw the chain young man behind him snort coldly: "You are the seven-rank light cultivator, right?" How do you talk like a fart? ”

Fan Haoyang's eyes were cold, staring at the young man in the chain, and said word by word: "What kind of thing are you, dare to be presumptuous in front of me?" ”

The young man in the chain tilted his head, and said without fear: "If the young master doesn't change his name, he won't change his surname, Ling Guanyu is also!" ”

Yu Wazi was shocked and asked, "You are that Ling Guanyu?" ”

"That's right, don't you want to know Lin Man'er's whereabouts? But the master just doesn't want to tell you, what can you do to me? ”

Interestingly, Yu Wazi suddenly smiled and said to Fan Haoyang and Ji Yunquan: "In this way, Brother Man'er's disappearance should have nothing to do with him." ”

This stunned Ling Guanyu, and asked rhetorically, "How can you be sure that Lin Man'er was not killed by me?" ”

Yu Wazi looked at Ling Guanyu and said with a smile: "I'm afraid Your Excellency doesn't have this ability yet, and judging from Your Excellency's state, you haven't met my barbarian brother." ”

"Why?" Ling Guanyu wondered.

However, the fish baby clasped her hands on her shoulders and smiled without saying a word. Fenglan naturally understood what Yu Wazi meant, and the reason why she brought Ling Guanyu this time was to prove that this matter had nothing to do with her.

Now that the matter is settled, it's time for her to leave. After all, judging from the attitudes of Yu Wazi and Ji Yunquan, she seems to have lost her identity and completely become the princess of the Central Plains royal family - Xuanyuan Muxue.
