Excalibur laughs

When Yunyun heard that it was related to him, he sat up straight and listened carefully.

Meng Zhang said to Yun: "You don't know about Yunwei. Although my uncle is not a first-class expert in the human race, his research on mysterious arts and his understanding of the secrets of the four races are unmatched by anyone in the entire human race." Right, my uncle may find the answer to the riddle on you."

Old City Master Meng twirled his beard lightly, thought for a while, and said, "Ah Yue's illness was caused by the sorcery of the ghost tribe. According to what you said, if the guard Yun can cure Ah Yue's illness, then there must be something in the guard Yun that can cure it." Things that can restrain the ghost clan, except for those with high martial arts skills, the only ones who can restrain the ghost clan in the world are the Raksha clan, so does the cloud guard have something to do with the Raksha clan?"

Xiao Qianyu's complexion changed abruptly when he heard this, and he stared at Yun Yun with an indescribable expression.

But Meng Zhang shook his head and said, "My sister and I have observed it, and the guard Yun is indeed a human race, and I can't detect any Rakshasa breath in his body."

The old city lord Meng said suspiciously: "There is another possibility. The Rakshasa breath in his body has been sealed by a certain expert, and ordinary people can't detect it."

Xiao Qianyu didn't know why, but he always felt very uncomfortable, and said: "Whether Yun Huwei has the Rakshasa aura in his body, it doesn't matter. The important thing is that he can cure Miss Ayue's illness, and that's enough."

Old City Master Meng heard the thorn in Xiao Qianyu's words, and hurriedly laughed and said: "Young City Master is right, but the matter is important, it's better for us to figure it out. You also know that the human race has to be protected by the spirit race to prevent it from being invaded by the ghost race. , but the Rakshas and the ghosts are their mortal enemies, if we know that we are related to the Rakshas, ​​then the spirits will blame us, it will not be a trivial matter."

Seeing this, Meng Zhang said to Old City Master Meng: "Uncle, don't worry, Yun Guard is definitely not a member of the Raksha tribe, and he has no second thoughts about the Meng family or the human race. My nephew can assure you, if there is no Guard Yun, I'm afraid Ah Yue won't be standing in front of you today."

Old City Lord Meng frowned slightly, and asked, "You mean the assassination of ghost clan assassins in the General's Mansion a few days ago?"

Meng Zhang nodded and said, "Uncle also knows about this?"

Old City Master Meng smiled slightly, and said: "Even Sacred Lord Yanlong was alarmed by this matter, and it has already been spread throughout the human race. The guard Yun is not afraid in front of the ghost assassins, and I admire it."

Yunyun hurriedly explained: "Actually, I was also very scared at the time, but I had no choice but to let Ah Yue have an accident, so I had to bite the bullet and rush forward."

Old City Master Meng saw that Yun Yun did not take any credit for his pride, so he couldn't help admiring Yun Yun in his heart, and asked, "Before Guard Yun saw His Majesty and the General, did he know any strange people before?"

Yunyun thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "I don't remember much about the past, but it seems that there are only Master Jingkong and Master Jingming, and there are no strange people."

The old city owner Meng said doubtfully: "This is strange."

Yun Yun suddenly remembered that strange dream. He would never have said it before, but he has been troubled by that dream all the time. He is extremely eager to know what is going on in that dream. With the knowledge of the old city lord, he said It may not be possible to solve this mystery.

Thinking of this, he plucked up the courage to say: "Old City Lord, in fact, I also met a woman."

Old City Master Meng asked with interest: "Oh? What kind of woman?"

Thinking back of Lingchu's gentleness and kindness, Yunyun felt infinite warmth in his heart, and his tone couldn't help being gentle, "She is a very, very good woman, she smiles beautifully, and cries are heartbreaking, I agree." I wanted to take her away, but I couldn't do it, and I promised her to go back, but I didn't do it."

An imperceptible trace of sadness and displeasure flashed across Xiao Qianyu's originally expressionless face, but Meng Zhang noticed this subtle abnormality.

Old City Master Meng seemed to understand something, and asked, "What's the name of this woman? Is there anything wrong?"

Just as Yunyun was about to answer, suddenly a person ran in from the outside, it was the little Wu who had left before.

Meng Zhang stood up abruptly, and said, "Uncle, the Young City Master and I are going to meet someone, and Guard Yun will ask you to accompany him."

After finishing speaking, he took Xiao Qianyu, Xiao Wu, and a few soldiers out of the City Lord's Mansion.

The sky was getting dark gradually, and everyone turned around in the streets of the city, and finally, led by Xiao Wu, they came to a dilapidated earth temple and stopped.

Xiao Wu bowed and said, "General, the person you want is inside."

Meng Zhang ordered a few soldiers to stand outside and watch, while he led Xiao Qianyu and Xiao Wu inside.

The earth temple has been in disrepair for a long time, and no one sets foot on it at ordinary times. It is covered with thick dust everywhere, and the dilapidated temple is full of cobwebs.

Meng Zhang and Xiao Qianyu walked carefully to the ground statue that had been broken into several pieces, and saw a person lying on the ground in front of the statue.

The man was tied up and tied up, with cloth strips stuffed in his mouth, and he was making an indistinct sound. His face was bruised and purple, obviously he had just been beaten.

This person is the man who had avenged Meng Zhang just now in front of the city lord's mansion. The expression of panic and fear on his face became more obvious after seeing Meng Zhang.

Seeing this, Meng Zhang asked Xiao Wu, "Have you ever hit him?"

Xiao Wu smiled and said: "This guy was dishonest on the road, and I beat him up."

Meng Zhang nodded, stopped talking, turned to look at the man on the ground, and said, "Get him up, I have something to ask him."

Hearing the words, Xiao Wu helped him up and leaned against the statue, stretched out his hand to remove the cloth strip from his mouth, and said fiercely: "Be honest, or you will look good."

The man looked at the few people in front of him in fear, and said in a trembling voice: "General, I offended you in a hurry before, please don't remember the villain's fault and let the villain go."

Meng Zhang sneered and said, "You don't have to pretend to be crazy here. You know why I brought you here. I don't like to beat around the bush, so I just cut to the chase. If I ask a question, you answer it. There is a half lie, and you know the consequences."

The man wanted to argue, but when he saw Meng Zhang's smirk, he unconsciously languished.

Meng Zhang asked coldly, "Who is behind your back?"

The man complained in his heart, fearing that if he said it, he would be killed, but Meng Zhang in front of him was too shrewd to be fooled by it. After weighing it, he decided to avoid the trouble in front of him first, and replied honestly: "It is true." Some people instigate villains, but villains have never seen their appearance, nor do they know their identities."

Xiao Qianyu thought for a moment, and said: "General, he doesn't seem to be lying. For such an important matter, the people behind it will not easily reveal their identities."

Meng Zhang nodded, and asked again: "What else do you know? I will still consider keeping you alive if I tell you everything, otherwise, even if I don't kill you, the people behind you will not let you go." .”

The man quickly lowered his head and thought for a while, then suddenly remembered something, and said: "General, I know the inside story of the old city lord's corruption and acceptance of bribes."

Meng Zhang spit out a word lightly, "Say!"

The man cleared his mind and said: "The reason why the people in the city rioted was because they suspected that the dark guards were killing people for revenge, and the dark guard camp was transferred by the old city lord. The reason for this is still the old city lord. Everyone in Qingshi City knows It was the old city lord who received a jade box in private, and it was exposed, so what happened next."

Meng Zhang said: "Everyone in Qingshi City knows this information, you just tell me this, why do you think I will spare your life?"

The man hurriedly added: "Because that thing came from me, and that's why those people came to me. I don't want to do this kind of thing, but those people threatened me and would kill me if I didn't do it." I was also forced to die."

Meng Zhang sized him up for a while, then asked doubtfully, "It is said that the jade box is very valuable. You don't look like a kid from a rich family. Where did you get the jade box?"

The man smiled wryly and said: "If I had that jade box, I wouldn't be in such a mess. The jade box is not mine, but the contents of the jade box are mine. I don't know about other things, General." Let’s ask Old City Lord Meng.”

Meng Zhang pondered the man's words carefully for a while, and felt that they were not false, so he told Xiao Wu, "Since he is also being coerced, take him to the city lord's mansion and save his life.

Xiao Qianyu worried: "But if he disappears, will the people in the city be like the one who disappeared last time, saying that he was retaliated by the general? Will know that we are investigating the case, wouldn't it be a shock to the snake."

Hearing Xiao Qianyu's words, the man on the ground was afraid that Meng Zhang would not care about him, so he hugged Meng Zhang's feet and begged for mercy, "General, please save me. If I fall into the hands of those people, I will definitely die." It’s over, they even dare to plot against the City Lord’s Mansion and the Dark Guard Battalion, so what else are they afraid to do?”

Meng Zhang looked at the man on the ground and said, "Young City Master is right, but we can't just ignore death, how about this, I'll send someone to protect him secretly, maybe the people behind him haven't found out that we are with him We have met, even if we know, if we want to kill him, we can also arrest him, what do you think?"

Xiao Qianyu nodded, admiring Meng Zhang's thoughtfulness in his heart, and said, "This is a good idea."

Meng Zhang said to the man on the ground: "If you want to survive, just pretend that nothing happened today. If someone asks about the injury on your face, you know how to answer it?"

When the man heard that Meng Zhang had sent someone to protect him, a big stone finally fell from his heart, and hurriedly returned: "I know, I accidentally bumped into it while walking."

Meng Zhang let out a "huh" and went straight out, saying to the two soldiers outside: "You two protect his safety, act in secret, and must not be discovered by others. If anyone comes into contact with him, don't interfere. Unless someone wants to kill him, understand?"

The two soldiers clasped their fists and said, "This subordinate takes orders."
