Seance [crossing]

Chapter 111

Last time, it was said that the third prince had decided to help Kuafu Kingdom find the inexplicably missing warrior Li Zhen.However, if you want to find a person who has never met face to face, the only way is to start with someone who is familiar with that person and who is also someone you know.So the third prince decided to look for Li Zhen's fiancée Li Zhen who had a relationship with him once before, and Li Zhen, the proprietress Li Zhen who was also gilded and scattered.

This time I came to Liujin Scattering again, only to see that Li Ai and Li Yao had disappeared in front of the door.The third prince and Yun Yong had no choice but to enter the weapon shop to inquire about the news.I saw all kinds of weapons on the shelves in the store, most of them were bows and crossbows, and there were also knives, axes, sticks and swords.However, no matter what kind of weapon it is, it is much larger than what the third prince usually uses, presumably this size is exactly the Kuafu giant standard.The two of them were looking at the scenery in the shop, and they were not careful when a person came from the side. When that person approached, he felt the ground shaking, and the shadow cast by the backlight actually covered the third prince's whole body.

The third prince was startled, and hurriedly came back to his senses, only to see that the person beside him was a young man, also dressed as a blacksmith, with a tall and strong figure and a well-defined face.

This time, without waiting for the third prince to open his mouth, he saw the young man lowered his body slightly, and said first: "The two of you are just among the foreigners who were taken away by Captain Zuo just now..."

The third prince hastily explained: "What happened before was just a misunderstanding. We just entered the palace to pay homage to the lord of the country. We heard that your country is in trouble, so we are here to offer our modest efforts to solve the difficulties of your country. This is from the lord of the country. , Lord Lieutenant on the left and right saw it for himself.”

After the young blacksmith heard this, he didn't doubt it, and then asked: "Since you are here to solve our country's troubles, what advice do you have when you come here?"

The third prince said: "I am waiting for the proprietress of Xungui shop to ask for advice."

As soon as these words came out of my mouth, I heard a voice from behind the house, it was Li Ai's voice saying: "You came here to find me, I don't know why?"

After hearing this, the third prince followed the prestige, and saw that Li Ai was walking towards this place, and he replied bluntly: "Don't dare to deceive each other, just now when I entered the palace to see the lord, I happened to meet the captain of the right My lord reported to the lord that the whereabouts of Lizhen was not found around the city of Ji, and I heard about this, so I proposed to the lord to help your country find Lizhen, which has been approved by the lord." Having said this, The third prince motioned to Yunyong, and Yunyong held a wooden token half as tall as him on his head, and showed it to Na Liai.

After Li Ai saw the token, he believed the third prince and two.

Seeing Li Ai's relaxed expression, the third prince asked tentatively: "Dare to ask Madam, but where is the safety of Xuan Xinzun's fiancé?"

The third prince talked about Li Zhen's central matter, and Li Zhen has been missing for a few days, so how could she not be worried?But after hearing what the third prince said, he knew that although this person was from a different race, and it was the first time he had dealt with him today, he was actually a person who knew the truth, so he answered truthfully: "Yes, so what? If the young master really has intentions this time For help, please tell me the truth."

After hearing Li Ai's words, the third prince knew that Li Ai had intended to cooperate with him, so he said, "I'm looking at the cranes in the downwind. I first came to your country to find a way to enter the secluded capital. When I entered the palace and heard about your fiancé, Since I have something to ask for from your country, I should contribute my modest efforts, Madam can trust my sincerity this time."

When Na Lizhen heard the words, he nodded and asked: "In this case, if the young master can really help me find Lizhen, I will be very grateful. What do you want me to do this time?"

The third prince immediately said: "Just to ask Madam about the details of Lizhen, the information Madam knows will be of great benefit to me looking for Lizhen. First of all, Madam, please tell me: When was the last time I saw Lizhen in recent days?"

Li Ai replied, "Five days ago."

After hearing this, the third prince was shocked and said: "Five days? Is it because I haven't seen him for five days or..."

Hearing the third prince's question at first, Na Li Ai didn't understand what it meant, but after thinking about it for a while, he realized it, and then he said in detail: "I, Li Ai and the first warrior Li Chen have known each other since childhood..."

After the third prince heard this, he secretly paid attention to it, and saw that Li Ai blushed when he said this, and continued: "I, together with Li Zhen and Li Chen, paid homage to Master Li, the number one blacksmith in Jicheng. I studied forging and smelting under Huang's family. During this period, Lizhen and I became in love with each other for a long time. After Lichen and Lizhen won the title of first and second warriors in the country respectively, and I inherited the master's mantle and became the gold-plated boss, I finally won the master Yiyun, before the king, witnessed the marriage between the two of us. After that, the three of us left the master's door, and the two of them entered the palace to receive warrior training. I stayed in this gilt patch, and since then, Lizhen will come to visit me every day, rain or shine..."

Hearing this, the third prince already understood Li Ai's unspoken words, and immediately said to him: "Can you tell from this that Li Ai did not come here to meet Madam just five days ago?"

Li Ai nodded to show his approval, and the third prince continued: "So, five days ago, Li Ai disappeared, did Madam tell others about this?"

Li Ai shook his head and said: "Although he didn't come here five days ago, when he came to visit me for the last time five days ago, he told me that he had to go to a place for some important matters, and he might return in two or three days. What he said, he just said that he went out normally, and he never told others about it. However, five days have passed, and he still hasn't returned, so he was very busy. Yesterday, Captain You even came to ask me His whereabouts, we only know that the lord of the country is summoning him for something, and he has not told others about his trip, but I alone know, but even I don't know the purpose of his actions..."

After the third prince heard this, he knew that the matter was not simple. He was afraid that there was something strange about it, so he put his hands on his cheeks and pondered: "From what Madam said above, we can know: First, Li Zhen's trip must be for the It is an important matter, and he did not tell others about this trip, probably it was just to cover up people's eyes and ears. If you know who he is trying to cover up, you can know the purpose of his trip; second, he told his wife that he wanted to He will return in two or three days, although it cannot be ruled out that he only traveled for two or three days in order to relieve his wife's worries, but in my opinion, he did not return after the time limit, and I am afraid that he encountered some unexpected accidents on the way... "

Upon hearing this, Li Ai was greatly surprised, and immediately asked: "Why did Mr. Feng say such a thing?!"

The third prince explained: "This is just speculation. As a warrior of your country, the most important festival of your country is coming soon. Lizhen will not be ignorant of the importance of this matter. He chose to go out at this time, only because of the following two There are two reasons: first, this matter is very important, and he has to go; second, he thought that this matter could be easily resolved, and he would return on schedule. It will be huge."

Li Ai heard the words, nodded and said: "Young Master's words are reasonable."

The third prince asked again: "The second question I want to ask my wife is about the death of Li Chen, the number one warrior in your country..."

Li Ai was shocked after hearing this question, and asked: "What is the relationship between Li Chen's matter and the search for Li Zhen's whereabouts?"

Although the third prince had intentions in asking this question, when Li Ai asked this question, he hesitated for a while, and it was difficult to tell Li Ai the real reason, so he paused and said: "I just heard what Madam said, Madam and him have known each other since childhood Presumably apart from his wife and the two of them, the relationship between the two of them is also very close, so he asked his wife to find clues." Even so, the third prince said in his heart, "The identity of Li Chen, the number one warrior. Therefore, Li Zhen, the second warrior, immediately inherited his title and honor, how could there be no connection between the two."

It was reasonable for Lizhen to hear the words of the three princes, so he replied: "Lichen and Lizhen were originally practicing warriors together. Our country holds a grand memorial ceremony every ten years, and then a selection of warriors will be held, and Kuafu will be awarded. Stick, embark on a daily journey. This year is the year of the Grand Ceremony, Li Zhen and Li Chen participated in the warrior election, and the two passed the test all the way. In the final round, Li Zhen lost to Li Chen and was defeated. Li Chen won the title of the number one warrior, but unexpectedly..."

The third prince's expression turned cold when he heard the words, and asked: "Unexpectedly?"

After hearing this, Li Ai's expression became sad, he hesitated for a while, and then he answered: "One month ago, the two kingdoms of Xiaoyang and Yanhuo, which bordered on the west of our country, were destroyed. A large number of firemen poured into our country. Not long after, Li Chen's body was found in the north of Jicheng, and when it was discovered..." Li Ai couldn't help trembling his voice before he paused before continuing, "After the discovery At that time, a group of Xiaoyang people were eating around his body, the body had been eaten beyond recognition, and there were fire-hating people who came that night fighting with the Xiaoyang people for the leftovers... Afterwards, the local residents came together The joint forces captured all the Xiaoyang people who caused the accident, and Captain Zuo also led the guards to the place. After examining the body, they found the warrior badge worn on the body, and only then did they know the identity of the body..."

Hearing the words, the third prince pondered for a while, then murmured: "So that's the case. No wonder the lord ordered the arrest of Jicheng and all the people around Xiaoyang and the people of Huoguo..." Then he raised his head suddenly and asked, "According to Madam just said that when Li Chen was found, his body had been devoured beyond recognition, and his identity would not have been identified if it was not based on the accessories on his body... In this way, the death of Li Chen was not as it was taken for granted. Generally speaking, is there any unexpected inside story?"

After hearing this, Li Ai was shocked: "What do you mean by this, young master?!"

The third prince said to each other: "This matter is just conjecture, there is no real evidence for this time, I can only say that if Lichen and Lizhen had some affection and loyalty between them, Lizhen saw Lichen's death, and felt deeply Mourning, probably discovered the strangeness of Lichen at this time, and it is unknown to start to investigate here, so it should explain the reason why Lichen disappeared at this time..."

After hearing this, Li Ai was greatly surprised and suddenly realized, then nodded and said: "Although the young master speculates, it is not completely unreasonable."

Then the third prince stood up again, cupped his hands and said: "I still need further clues to confirm this matter. What my wife said this time is of great help to me. I will report your great kindness in the future; after that, I will look elsewhere. Clue, if Madam gets any other relevant information, please let me know."

Li Ai then said: "If you can find Li Zhen this time, we owe you a great favor. We will definitely remember it deeply, and dare not forget it."

Afterwards, the three princes bid farewell to Li Ai and the others, leaving Liu Jin Scattered.

Afterwards, Yun Yong asked, "Your Highness, what are your plans for the next step?"

The third prince replied: "Although you and I don't know the whereabouts of Lizhen this time, this is the capital of Kuafu's country after all. You Duwei searched for the whereabouts of Lizhen in the city, but he couldn't find it. He must have left the city. And the four-faced city The gate is heavily guarded, but it is not difficult to find out the direction of Li Zhen, the second warrior in the whole country, to go out of the city."

After speaking, the two of them immediately went to the four city gates in the southeast, north and west, and asked the guarding sergeant if Li Zhen had left the city five days ago.The defenders of the three city gates, Jundao, had never seen them before, but when they arrived at the north gate, they were told that Li Zhen had indeed left the city through the north gate five days ago, and that it was just at dawn when the city gates were about to open. .

Hearing this, the three princes looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

Yun Yong said: "As expected of your Highness, you really predict things like a god."

The third prince smiled back, then turned his head away, cupped his hands to the kind-faced general guarding the north gate, and said, "Thank you, General, for letting me know. I have something to ask you, General. You know that nearly a month ago, the number one warrior in your country Which gate did Lichen leave the city through?"
