Chapter 26 Chapter 26 [VIP]
It was already dusk when Ling Suye arrived in Mobei.
Because of his familiarity with Mobei, he did not wear a thin jade mirror, but walked and shopped on the street as a blind man.
Although the thin mirror allowed him to see, wearing it all the time would make him look ostentatious.
Therefore, he only used the purple cloud clothes to disguise the whites of his eyes, and then half-opened his eyes, looking nonchalant and careless.
Even though he could only rely on listening to sounds to determine his location and his movements were slower than those of ordinary people, he could still hide the truth.
"Young Master, even though our Mobei Erlangs all wore their hair down, they couldn't have given birth to a child as handsome as you!" the proprietress of the mutton pancake shop greeted Ling Suye. "You can tell you're from the Central Plains. My wife says only boys from the Central Plains can be this good-looking."
Ling Suye bought two freshly baked pancakes. Listening to the proprietress's praise, he thought to himself that he had changed so much in three years that even the proprietress, where he often came to buy pancakes, couldn't recognize him.
"Not from the Central Plains. I'm from Chuzhou."
The identity deed says Baihua Village, Yongping County, Chuzhou.
As he was speaking, a man in tight clothes walked past him and glanced at him briefly.
Ling Suye immediately sensed an extremely familiar aura, so familiar that his back became a little stiff.
The proprietress didn't notice. She just smiled and said, "Chuzhou, that's a beautiful place at the foot of the sacred mountain. Otherwise, why do they say beautiful mountains and rivers nourish people? Lately, we've had quite a few handsome young men from the Central Plains come here. They all come from such a beautiful place."
Ling Suye smiled but said nothing.
He took out a thin jade mirror and put it on slowly and calmly without hiding anything. Then he glanced in the direction the man left without noticing.
really.
This person is his 'former' colleague, and is well known to everyone in Du'e.
In this case, could it be that some monster is causing chaos in Mobei?
Or maybe, they were the ones who captured Yunniang in Loulan, but why did they come to Mobei instead of returning to Shangjing City?
Ling Suye's mind was full of mysteries. He took a bite of the pie, did not take off his thin mirror, and walked towards the shop selling kumis in front.
The shopkeeper of this shop is also an old acquaintance of Ling Suye. When he was a child, Ling Suye would come to buy wine for his father every now and then.
A few months ago, he and Gu Xuanyou arrived in Mobei, and the shopkeeper didn't recognize him when they bought wine.
"Boss, why are you closing up shop so early?" Ling Suye asked. "They say Mobei's kumis is a unique product. I wonder if you have any left?"
The shopkeeper had just made a big deal and was in a very good mood.
He smiled and said to Ling Suye, the 'outsider': "No, there's nothing left in the cellar. We've sold out this year's wine. Go up ahead, into the alley with the little flags, there's another one."
The enthusiastic man showed Ling Suye the way, but Ling Suye pretended to be unfamiliar with it and walked in the direction the shopkeeper gave him.
But his doubts grew.
He had lived in Mobei for sixteen years, and even when the grassland tribes in Mobei held grand events, he was not able to buy all the mare's milk stored in the cellars for a year.
When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong.
Could it be that it is related to the Du'e Division?
In order not to arouse suspicion, Ling Suye went to the store the shopkeeper directed him to and bought a dozen bottles of wine. When he put it to his mouth and tasted it, it tasted spicy, but lacked the mellow flavor of the previous store.
He doesn't like wine and rarely drinks.
It's just that my father loves kumis, especially the one from the previous family. Every time he catches a monster, he buys several dozen and drinks them slowly.
Ling Suye's original plan was to buy sacrificial gifts for his father, mother and uncles, and to keep vigil at the grave tonight.
We will set off for Shangjing City early tomorrow morning.
Unexpectedly, someone from Du'esi appeared on the street, and my father's favorite kumis was sold out...
"I can't go to worship again this time." Ling Suye thought.
He knew that the most sensible thing to do now was to leave Mobei City and pretend to be a wanderer heading to the Central Plains to avoid unnecessary trouble.
But Mobei is his home.
A big event was brewing in his home, and Yunniang, the person he was looking for, was probably here too, which made Ling Suye unable to leave no matter what.
He did not rent a small courtyard like last time, but found an inn to live in.
"Feed the horses with your freshest grass."
Standing in the lobby, Ling Suye politely put away the jade mirror, looking like a noble young man.
As he spoke, he gave the waiter a tip, "My horse needs to be fed and slept alone. If you take good care of it, I'll give you a tip."
The waiter immediately beamed: "Okay, sir, don't worry, I will take good care of your horse. Do you want to eat in the lobby, or go to..."
"Open a room upstairs and bring up all your delicious dishes." Ling Suye asked the waiter to lead the way.
As he entered the room, the waiter smiled flatteringly, "Sir, look, this is the best room in our hotel, do you see?"
"Okay, let's prepare the meal." Ling Suye waved his hand.
He did not ask the waiter about the recent situation in Mobei.
Since I'm pretending to come to Mobei for a trip, I have to pretend to the end.
Being too curious will only lead to trouble.
However, judging from the attitudes of the waiter, the lady boss selling stuffed pancakes, and the restaurant owner, Ling Suye was certain that nothing major had happened in Mobei recently, at least not a monster causing trouble.
Then, of the reasons he had previously deduced for Du'e Si coming to Mobei, only the second point remained valid.
——They did not come to catch monsters and eliminate evil, but it is very likely that they passed by Mobei after capturing Yunniang in Loulan.
But why did they buy the wine?
Ling Suye was lying on the bed, sorting out his thoughts bit by bit.
Suddenly, he felt his brain seemed to buzz.
I said "seemed" because the feeling was very shallow, so shallow that Ling Suye thought it was an illusion.
But he still closed his eyes and tried to sense the source of the 'hum'.
When his mind was focused on a certain point, Ling Suye heard a familiar conversation.
"The princess has been having trouble sleeping and having nightmares lately. Jade Demon, do your best to ease her mood."
This voice was rigid and cold, exactly as Zhou Zhi knew.
Ling Suye's eyes suddenly widened, and he immediately realized that it was Yunniang who was conveying a message to him!
And this spiritual node is exactly the soul fragment that Yunniang once devoured of him.
The 'Jade Demon' is indeed the most psychic demon. He can even use this method to deceive Duersi and his demon catchers and pass on messages to him in a subtle way.
And the fact was just as he expected. The people from the Du'e Division who appeared in Mobei were the same group that kidnapped Yunniang.
Because Ling Suye's spirit was slightly fluctuating, the subtle conversation in his mind was suddenly interrupted.
He closed his eyes again, this time more familiar than before, concentrating his mental energy and listening carefully to the movements from Yunniang's side.
"...You asked me for help, but you smashed my shop and chained me up. Is this how you, the Du'e Division, ask for help?"
Yunniang gritted her teeth.
Zhou Zhi's voice remained unchanged: "If the girl refuses to obey, we can only use courtesy first and then force."
"You ZY want to arrest me, of course I won't agree." Yunniang said hatefully.
"Hey, young lady, I advise you not to bother with it anymore, otherwise our boss will be angry, and you will be in trouble soon, right, boss?" A nonchalant and teasing voice sounded. It came from Xie Qingnian, a colleague that Ling Suye was familiar with, a newcomer who entered the Du'e Division in the same year as him.
In the Du'e Division, the person who has the closest relationship with Ling Suye is Xie Qingnian.
Although one of them was from the East China Sea and the other from Mobei, they took the assessment together, and after entering the Du'e Division, they were in the same group and even lived in the same house.
Zhou Zhize is their leader, who is strict and only respects rules, not people.
In the Du'e Division, there are nine "bosses" like Zhou Zhi, competing with each other.
Zhou Zhi said nothing, but Xie Qingnian immediately apologized: "I shouldn't joke around, Boss. I'll kneel down as punishment myself later."
After a pause, he continued, "Hey, when it comes to telling monsters to do things, Aye is the most suitable person. Just by standing here, with those eyes, he can accurately see what the monster is thinking. If he prescribes the right medicine, the monster will naturally obey."
"Go down and receive your punishment." Zhou Zhi spoke again, "Shut your mouth."
Xie Qingnian obviously didn't expect him to suddenly turn hostile: "Boss, didn't you always punish me after the matter was over? I, I said something wrong - well, you two, we are brothers, don't shut up..."
Xie Qingnian's voice disappeared along with a burst of chaotic footsteps.
Zhou Zhi said to Yunniang again, "I'll give you a cup of tea to think about it. If you don't agree, you will be severely punished."
Yunniang was still angry and was about to say something, but facing Zhou Zhi's overly cold gaze, she didn't dare to utter a word.
She felt that if she said one more word, this expressionless man would really kill her.
She doesn't want to die yet.
Ling Suye did not have the talent of the 'Jade Demon', so he could only passively listen to the other party's movements and could not pass on any information to Yunniang.
In fact, he could use the methods of a demon catcher to communicate with Yunniang, just like he had communicated with the gold-eating beast Xiaojin before.
However, this communication method is limited to an environment where both parties are safe.
Now that Yunniang is surrounded by a group of powerful demon catchers, Ling Suye naturally cannot act rashly.
After a while, Yunniang said, "Okay."
Zhou Zhi: "Take it away."
The movement from Yunniang stopped, and Ling Suye opened his eyes at the same time - this piece of information was too important to him.
All the originally chaotic speculations were connected together.
Yunniang was taken away by Du'e Si. It turned out that some superior needed her to "cure an illness."
Listening to their conversation, it turns out that the person in power is not an ordinary noble, but a princess!
However, what is the purpose of such a noble figure as the princess coming to Mobei?
Could she be related to the mysterious person who bought up all the kumis?
Just as I was thinking about it, there was a knock on the door and the waiter came to deliver the meal.
It gets dark quickly in Mobei, and in the blink of an eye you are engulfed in darkness.
Ling Suye asked him to put down the food and pretended to pick up his chopsticks, but after the waiter left, he quickly changed into night clothes and tied his hair up on top of his head with a wooden hairpin. He just heard that there was a strong wind over there, and it seemed that Yunniang was not in the house.
With so many people from the Du'e Division and the princess's guards, it would be impossible to hide the situation at the outdoor camp.
He planned to go up the slope to check to find out where the princess and others were.
Even though Ling Suye had no internal strength, he was still very agile. He flipped out of the window silently with a hook move.
Then listen to the movements around you all the way, avoid everyone, and head towards the nearest high slope.
At this time of year, the grass in Mobei is as high as the calf, and people lying in it cannot be seen at all.
In order to hide from others, Ling Suye crawled all the way out of the city until he climbed up the hill.
He put on a thin jade mirror and looked down into the distance.
After looking around, there were only a few scattered bonfires on the opposite side of the hill. Ling Suye's face was grim and his teeth were clenched, because that was where the Ling family was.
But the next moment he was stunned again.
Because the night wind brings not only coldness, but also the aroma of mellow wine.
That was the aroma of his father's favorite kumis.

This is the first update. The second update will be around noon. Good night, my friends.
