Chapter 28 Missing Letter
Kong Xiaoyin has been following Su Huaide and Zhang Zhentian to Su Jiaji for three days. Now, she has gradually adapted to the simple and simple life of the Su family. Su Wanyue, Su Huaide's daughter, has now become Kong Xiaoyin's best friend. On the one hand, the two girls have similar temperaments and similar ages. Therefore, there is always endless words to chir together.
"Wanyue, your mother went to Ink City for about a month, right?" Kong Xiaoyin hooked the embroidered cloth in his hand and asked Su Wanyue, "When will she come back?" I seem to have learned some medical skills from her.
"It should be back soon." Su Wanyue put down the embroidered cloth in her hand and said, "When she comes back, I will definitely help you tell her about this. At the beginning, I didn't study medicine from her, and she was still very unhappy. Ha ha." With that, she smiled like a silver bell. Her mother, Sun Mingxuan, is a famous doctor, and the Sun family is also proficient in medicine and a well-known medical family.
"Good! Then it's settled." Kong Xiaoyin listened and answered happily. In this ancient era, there was no TV and other entertainment projects, and embroidery became the best leisure choice for women.
"Sister, are you in the room?" Su Tianxing's voice came in from outside the door.
"Come in, brother. I'm here." Su Wanyue replied to him happily. When she saw Su Tianxing entering the room, she asked him in a low voice, "What are you looking for?"
"Sister Kong is also here." Su Tianxing saw Kong Xiaoyin first greeted politely, and then he said to Su Wanyue, "Sister, father asked you to go there. It seems that something has happened on the road overlooking the ink city recently.
"Okay. I'm going!" Su Wanyue stood up and prepared to leave with him while packing up the needle and thread.
"Sister, I saw that you were much gentler after Sister Kong came!" Su Tianxing joked to Su Wanyue at this point, "You really look more and more like a woman now."
"Bad boy! Wasn't I a woman before? Su Wanyue was so angry that she kicked him on the buttocks. Then, he turned around and said gently to Kong Xiaoyin, "Yin, wait for me. I'll come as soon as I go."
"Ha ha, go, go!" Kong Xiaoyin looked at the two of them and replied with a smile, "I should go back to my room, too." With that, she stood up and left the room with her sister and brother.
In the council chamber of Su Jiaji, several captains of soldiers under Su Huaide, Zhang Zhentian, Jiang Dongfang and Su Huaide have now gathered here. Wanyue and Tianxing, you two sit down." Su Huaide saw the two of them coming in, so he kindly greeted them to sit down first. Then, one of his captains said, "Su Jun, tell me about what you found this morning!"
"Yes!" Su Jun listened to Su Huaide's words and stood up. "This morning, when I was patrolling the road to Ink City, I found three bodies. According to my observation, they should be the messengers sent to us by Ink City. However, I didn't find any letters on and around them.
"Who did this according to your judgment?" Su Wade asked him.
"Hui patriarch, judging from the situation at the scene. There was a fight at that time! However, it is not fierce. It should be that the three messengers were easily subdued by the other party. Su Jun seriously introduced the situation at that time, "According to my observation, they should be wolf spirits. They ate all the meat on the messenger. At the same time, the horses were also gnawed very clean. There should be crows and other things after them.
"Well, there is nothing to make a fuss about this kind of incident." Su Huaide said with a smile, "Similar things have happened before. Maybe Zhentian and Dongfang will not get used to it, right? Zhang Zhentian and Jiang Dongfang both nodded and said nothing after listening to Su Huaide's words.
"The patriarch is right!" Su Jun continued, "The strange thing this time is that we found a bamboo tube used to hold letters. However, the letter in the bamboo tube disappeared. He paused here and said, "There have been similar attacks before. Those monsters usually only kill people and eat meat and take away their valuable belongings. However, I have never been interested in the letter in the bamboo tube.
"Will it fall out and be blown away by the wind?" Zhang Zhentian looked at Su Jun and asked doubtfully.
"I don't think so!" Su Jun replied, "The bamboo tube is only sealed, and there is a spiral on the lid. You must use both hands to twist it."
"Hmm. Do you suspect that those illiterate wolves have stolen our letters? Su Huaide looked at him with a heavy face.
"Yes! The patriarch." Su Jun affirmed, "I doubt whether these wolf spirits were instructed by someone to steal the letter?"
"Haha! This is possible. However, it may not be big!" After listening to Su Jun's words, Su Huaide laughed and said, "I still know the wolf spirit near us. They will not be easily instructed to steal these things. Moreover, we don't have any secrets here that are worth stealing.
"But, patriarch." Zhang Zhentian interrupted at this time, "Will it have anything to do with the Fengshenzhu that Xiaokong mentioned to us that day?"
"Wind God Pearl?" Su Huaide listened to Zhang Zhentian's words, nodded and pondered, "If you don't say this, I forgot about it. That day, I only regarded the girl as scared and talking nonsense. He said this and brushed his beard. "However, she has a spirit cat with her. That's a very spiritual thing, usually not with our original people. She herself is worth our study.
"Yes! The patriarch." Su Jun also said at this time, "Will the messenger have anything to do with her background?"
"Impossible!" Jiang Dongfang shook his head and said, "We all came together from the outside. What kind of background can she have?" He was obviously dissatisfied with Su Jun's words.
"However, the East. None of us knows what happened in the two days when she disappeared. Zhang Zhentian also said with some doubts, "After all, the world is too strange to us. There are some things that are reasonable for Su Jun to suspect.
"I don't think that girl is a villain." Su Huaide waved his hand and ended everyone's argument about Kong Xiaoyin. "In this world, she is not the first to encounter something strange, and then there are spiritual objects willing to follow. Isn't the mother of Wanyue and Tianxing the same? He said this and looked at the people present, "I think we should not discuss this issue. It seems that we have to investigate the matter of Fengshenzhu. Then, he looked at Su Wanyue again, "Wanyue! You have time to ask Kong Xiaoyin more about what happened that night. You are all girls, and it's easier to talk.
"Yes! Father. I'll take care of this." Su Wanyue answered.
"Pyal chief! Madam is back." At this time, the soldier in charge of guarding the council chamber came in.
"Oh? Is that so?" When Su Huaide heard that his wife had returned to Su Jiaji, he stood up happily and said, "Invit her here quickly." However, he immediately sat back. However, it can be seen from the expression on his face that a stone in his heart fell to the ground.
"Wide, why are you in such a hurry to find me?" After about a quarter of an hour, a woman 40 years old came in from outside. Although the years left a faint mark on her face, it can still be faintly seen that she was a symbol of beauty when she was young. This woman is Sun Mingxuan, Su Huaide's wife, without introduction.
"Su Jun told his wife again when he found it this morning." Su Jun listened to Su Huaide's words and repeated what he had just said. After listening to this, Su Huaide took a look at Sun Mingxuan and pointed to Zhang Zhentian and Jiang Dongfang and said, "These two are friends who have just come from the change of the meteorite."
Sun Mingxuan nodded politely to Zhang Zhentian and Jiang Dongfang, and then said to Su Huaide, "Huide, those three messengers should have been sent by Tian Zheng, the city guard of Ink City. However, the letter in it was not written to you by Lord Tian, but by Lord Zhao Zhengfang, a national teacher, directly to Lord Tian Zheng and you.
"Oh? There is such a thing." Su Huaide was secretly surprised when he heard this, "What did the letter say?"
"I heard Lord Tian Zheng mention the content of that letter. It should be that you two want to find Fengshenzhu." Sun Mingxuan thought for a moment and replied, "It seems that you want to investigate the ruins of the city that have changed recently. Lord Zhao Zhengfang suspected that the bead was near the ruins.
"That's it." Su Huaide listened and nodded.
"But, mother. The ruins are so big, and there are only a few of us. How can we find them? Su Tianxing interrupted at this time, "And that place is a place of control. There are many kinds of monsters, and it is not a place where our originals can go."
"Lord Zhao Zhengfang said the general scope in the letter." After listening to Sun Tianxing's words, Sun Mingxuan thought for a long time and finally said helplessly, "Unfortunately, I only remember the ruins of the city, but I don't remember the specific location."
"It seems that we have to go to Langling to get back to that letter." Su Huaide brushed his beard and looked at the people sitting there. "This is a dangerous job. Who of you would like to go with me?"
"I do!" I will!" When everyone heard that they were going to look for the wolf spirit, they all volunteered to answer.
"In this case, I think Su Jun and Su Kui, you two soldiers with me!" Then, he looked back at Zhang Zhentian and said, "Zhetian, are you interested in going with me?"
"Good!" Zhang Zhentian answered cheerfully.
"Wide, I think I'll go with you!" Sun Mingxuan talked to the side.
"Hehe, it's good for you to go!" Su Huaide thought for a moment and replied with a smile, "If someone is injured, you can also help me take care of one or two."
"Father! We are going, too." Su Wanyue and Su Tianxing rushed together and said, "If you go, we will be worried at home."
"Hehe, what's wrong with this? Can't my father beat those puppies? Su Huaide smiled boldly, "You two are still at home, and Su Jiaji also needs to be guarded. Also, Wanyue, don't forget what you promised me."
