.s: My headache is going to explode...Sorry for the late update...
Su Ling and Xiao Cangshu followed the manager of Wanghai Inn and walked slowly towards the backyard of the inn.
Along the way, Su Ling kept observing the layout of the entire inn. On the surface, this inn looked like an ordinary inn, but it couldn't escape Su Ling's eyes. All the architectural plans were organized, which coincided with the snake and pan array. The main purpose of the building layout was to integrate offense and defense. Su Ling unconsciously had more expectations for He Changjing, the head of the Shadow Branch of Bohai City.
This He Changjing seems to be different from the usual people from the Shadow Division who only know how to travel around the world. This person is probably more strategic.
Also, if the leader of the Shadow Branch in Bohai City, who was under Shen Jizhou's nose, really didn't have anything special at all, he wouldn't have been sent to such a dangerous place by Xiao Yuanche.
Su Ling followed the shopkeeper through the two courtyards. The shopkeeper pointed to a room in front and said, "You two, please come in... The person you want to see will be here later."
Su Ling and Xiao Cangshu cupped their hands and followed the shopkeeper into the room.
Su Ling originally thought that this house should have a secret door or a hidden compartment. After all, he still remembered that the Shadow Chief of Longtai in Kyoto had achieved the ultimate in concealment and deception, not to mention that this was Shen Jizhou's home base.
However, what surprised Su Ling and Xiao Cangshu was that this was a rather ordinary room, with no secret doors or partitions at all. If there was anything special about it, it was that the furnishings and decorations of this room were quite luxurious. , and at the very back of the entire inn, if you open the window, you will see the vast sea, which is so beautiful.
Su Ling secretly thought, not bad, it is a sea view room.
But, do we really meet here so casually... This is too blatant.
Could it be that the Chief He Chang Jing He firmly believes that the most dangerous place is the safest place?
The shopkeeper led Su Ling and Xiao Cangshu into the room, invited them to sit down, made tea himself, and drank tea with Su Ling and Xiao Cangshu.
After drinking for less than half an hour, Xiao Canshu couldn't wait any longer. He cupped his hands and said, "May I ask...when will the person we want to see come?"
The shopkeeper paused for a moment, then smiled lightly and said: "Don't worry, sir, I've already sent someone to report it, but there have been a lot of things happening in the Shadow Department of Bohai City recently. Maybe something is entangled and we can't get away from each other..." .Please sir, sit down for a moment.”
Su Ling hurriedly pulled Cang Shu away and said, "This is Bohai City. After all, they have a lot of affairs. Since we are all here, we don't have to wait for a while."
Xiao Cangshu had no choice but to nod.
An hour passed, but He Changjing and no one from the Shadow Division came. The shopkeeper didn't mention it at all, but just urged the two of them to drink tea.
Xiao Canshu had already become impatient. If Su Ling hadn't kept asking him to wait, he would have fallen out with him long ago.
At first, Su Ling thought that this was Bohai City, and the Shadow Department had many affairs, so it was only natural for people not to see him for a while. He really just enjoyed himself while sipping tea and looking at the sea.
However, when there was no one waiting on the left and no one on the right came, Su Ling also vaguely felt that this was something unusual.
But looking at the shopkeeper's calm expression, it didn't look like there was any problem, so Su Ling didn't say anything more.
But it had been more than an hour, not to mention that Chang He was missing. In the entire Bohai City Shadow Division, apart from the shopkeeper, Su Ling didn't see anyone else.
Su Ling's face also became a little ugly, and he finally spoke in a deep voice: "This friend... more than an hour has passed. He Changjing has something to do. Why can't he come in an hour? It's him.
I really can’t come. The Shadow Division always sends people to meet me. Why doesn’t anyone come? What does this mean? Could it be that they are leaving us here?”
Seeing the questioning tone in Su Ling's voice, the shopkeeper hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Sir, you really misunderstood. It's true that the Bohai Shadow Division has too many things going on recently, and they really can't get away for a while..."
..”
Su Ling sneered and said: "Can't pull away? It's been more than an hour... is it true that I can't pull away?"
Come on, why don't you take me seriously? You must be very clear about the level of nine coins and eight taels!"
Hearing this, the shopkeeper quickly stood up, bowed to Su Ling and said, "Master, please don't be angry. I naturally know your identity. Apart from the Governor who receives nine coins and nine taels, the most respected person in this Shadow Division is
It’s only nine cents and eighty taels…how dare we be careless in the slightest…”
Su Ling became even more angry when he heard this and said: "I have been here for more than an hour, and I have only seen you everywhere. I have been here drinking tea, rinsing my intestines, and watching the sea. Apart from you, there is not even a ghost in your Shadow Division.
I didn’t see it! He said he didn’t neglect..."
The shopkeeper's face turned red and he hesitated, not knowing how to answer.
Su Ling saw that he had a strange look on his face, and began to feel wary. Now that he saw him hesitating and looking flustered, he even felt that there was something wrong here.
Su Ling stopped talking nonsense, suddenly pulled out the Jiangshan smile behind his back, slapped it on the table, and said in a cold voice: "Is there something deliberately hidden from us? What do you want? If you don't tell the truth, then you will follow me.
Sword, tell me!"
When the shopkeeper saw this, his face suddenly turned pale. He waved his hands and shook his head. He knelt down on the ground and said: "Young Master...Young Master, please don't get angry... It's not that the villain intends to deceive, but...
....."
As soon as I said this, someone outside suddenly said loudly: "The deputy governor is in charge of atonement... I have let the deputy governor take charge of the crime for a long time... Damn it! You really deserve to die!"
The shopkeeper was about to say something, but he was startled when he heard this voice. He quickly kept silent, stood up and stood aside.
Su Ling looked up and saw one person walking in front, followed by seven or eight people walking into the house.
But I saw that this man was over ten feet tall, but he was tall and slim, with a thin body, a pale golden face, deep-set eye sockets, and bright eyes. It seemed that he must have some martial arts, and he had a slight short beard under his chin.
The people behind him were all dressed in dark red official uniforms, and one could tell at a glance that they were from the Shadow Division.
When these people walked into the room, they saw the tall and slender leader. They looked at Su Ling and Xiao Cangshu for a moment, then quickly bowed their hands and said, "I'll wait for you, the deputy governor!"
Su Ling's face was still a bit ugly. He glanced at this person and said in a deep voice: "Are you Chang He? Why are you so surprised? Why haven't you come to meet me for so long? What's the reason? Tell me quickly!"
The man hurriedly held up his hands and said: "The deputy governor has misunderstood... Even if I borrow my courage, I dare not not come to see you... It's just that I really have something to do and I can't leave."
Ah... Also, this subordinate is not the Chief He Changjinghe..."
When Su Ling and Xiao Canshu heard this, they were both stunned. Su Ling frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "Aren't you He Changjing?...Then who are you?"
The man clasped his fist again and said, "My subordinate is Yang Han, the deputy chief of the Shadow Division of Bohai City. I was just apologizing and forgot to tell the deputy governor..."
Su Ling secretly thought to himself that after waiting for such a long time, only the deputy director came. It seemed that something must have happened in the Bohai Shadow Department.
Thinking of this, Su Ling's expression softened a little, and she asked: "It's Deputy Secretary Yang, where is He Changjing? Why don't you come to see me..."
"This..." Yang Han was startled when he heard this, and his face became a little uneasy. Not only that, the faces of several Shadow Division people behind him also became unnatural.
Su Ling knew at a glance that there must be something hidden in this, and with a stern look on his face, he said in a deep voice, "Why don't you tell me now! Where is He Changjing?"
Yang Han hurriedly raised his hand again, and then whispered: "It's not that Master He didn't come to see you...it's that Master He is missing..."
Su Ling had guessed that something must have happened in the Bohai Shadow Division, but he never thought that his family members were missing. He couldn't help being surprised. Xiao Cangshu was also shocked and looked at Su Ling in shock.
Su Ling suddenly stood up, took two steps toward Yang Han, and said in a deep voice: "He Changjing disappeared? What on earth is going on!"
Yang Han looked solemn and sighed: "Don't be anxious, Deputy Governor. You can sit back and listen to what my subordinates say slowly."
Su Ling and Xiao Cangshu extremely fast
After exchanging glances, they all sat down. Yang Han and the others did not dare to sit down, so they stood aside to accompany them.
Su Ling then asked again: "How did He Changjing disappear? What happened to the Bohai Shadow Division..."
Yang Han looked helpless and groaned: "I dare not deceive the deputy governor. Master He disappeared a month ago, and there is no news at all now. No one alive, no body found...
..”
Su Ling took a breath of cold air and said after a while: "Since this happened a month ago, why didn't you report it to Lord Boning?"
Yang Han said hurriedly: "The incident happened suddenly. I thought it would be better to alert Mr. Boning before we find out the details of the matter. Besides, we are at war with Shen Jizhou. I want to find out what happened first and then report it to Boning."
Sir, let’s avoid unnecessary complications. Moreover, if we find Master He, this matter will be solved..."
Su Ling secretly pondered what he said, and felt that what he said made sense, so she nodded and said, "Is there any clue?"
Yang Han sighed and said: "There are no clues. For a month, the brothers of the Shadow Division have tried their best to find Master He. Not to mention clues, there is not even a trace... Attributes
There is nothing I can do next.”
"Will you fall into the Demon Division..." Xiao Cangshu asked.
"No no...probably not!" Yang Han said hurriedly.
"Why not?" Su Ling said. He felt that Yang Han's words were very firm.
Yang Han hurriedly said: "There are some of our people in the Sprite Division. If Master He falls into their hands, there will definitely be a report. However, more than a month has passed and there is no news from the Sprite Division at all.
Moreover, as far as my subordinates know, even now the Demon Division doesn’t know that something happened to our Bohai Shadow Division..."
When Su Ling heard this, she frowned and said nothing. After thinking for a long time, she had no idea.
Yang Han cupped his fists and said, "Vice-Governor, these days, all the brothers from our Bohai Shadow Division have gone out just to find the whereabouts of Master He. I didn't come to see him in time, and it was because of this incident that I came here.
It’s too late.”
Su Ling nodded, but still said with some doubts: "Since He Changjing's whereabouts cannot be found, why did you say that you were delayed because of this matter?"
Yang Han lowered his voice and said, "Just now, my subordinates got some news about Lord He..."
Su Ling and Xiao Canshu looked at each other again, and Su Ling said calmly: "What news..."
Yang Han's voice was very low, as if he was afraid that the news would leak out: "The deputy governor...according to reports from our brothers outside, it is said that Chief He seems to be in a deep mountain wilderness outside Bohai City these days.
Appeared at the ridge..."
Su Ling and Xiao Cangshu were shocked at the same time. Xiao Cangshu lost his voice and said: "Deep in the mountains and wild ridges, could it be Tangling?!"
