Looking for the traces of Xiao Xiao Yu I searched

until nightfall, but there was no sign of Xiao Xiao Yu. He did not come back, nor was he in any of the places he usually went.

"It's over, I lost Xiao Xiaoyu!" Luo Jin was anxious and burst into tears, "How can I explain to the prince... How can I explain to Liu Shu... Where will he go? Will he be caught? Will he be abused?"

Jiang Mo hasn't come back yet. Yue Qinghai was tired of looking for him, so he came back to eat something, shook his head and said, "He must have been hidden, otherwise there is no reason why we can't find him."

Jie Gui thought for a while and said, "I think he might have been caught. He is a dwarf slave and can be sold for a high price. If the person who caught him has this purpose, I don't think he will necessarily harm his life, so there is no need to worry about his life for the time being."

Luo Jin said anxiously, "He knows martial arts and used to be a secret agent of Xiyuan Kingdom. How could he be caught so easily? Who is this person..."

As he was speaking, Jiang Mo came back.

Although he did not bring back Xiao Xiaoyu, he found something else.

It was a piece of clothing that Xiao Xiaoyu wore out this morning. There was a little blood on the clothing, which made Luo Jin's breathing tighten. "He was injured?"

Jie Gui took the clothing and observed it carefully. "Look at the edge, it seems to have been torn off carefully and deliberately. There is little blood and it is regular. It seems... He deliberately left this piece of clothing to convey some message."

"Seven Realms Hall!" Luo Jin said immediately, "Xiao Xiaoyu used to be a member of the Seven Realms Hall. This must be the secret code of the Seven Realms Hall. Just ask someone from the Seven Realms Hall and you'll know. Jiang Mo, are there any people from the Seven Realms Hall here?"

Jiang Mo shook his head, "Seven Realms Hall is a secret spy organization in Xiyuan. After the peace talks between the two countries, the Seven Realms Hall has withdrawn to show its sincerity. Even if I send a message now, I'm afraid it will take six or seven days to call someone."

Jie Gui remained silent, and suddenly said, "Maybe I can try to crack the secret code of the Seven Realms Hall. Give me a room..."

Luo Jin asked Xiangxiang to take him to the study.

Jie Gui didn't sleep in the study all night, and finally walked out of the study at dawn.

"North." Jie Gui said, "The code means north, carriage and purple. He was taken to the north by the carriage. There should be purple curtains on the carriage."

Luo Jin was worried about Xiao Xiaoyu last night and didn't sleep much. Hearing Jie Gui say this,

he hurriedly said, "Then go find him!" "I'll go back to the Ministry of Justice and send someone to find him. Don't worry, he will be fine." Jie Gui said and went out directly.

Jiang Mo walked to Luo Jin and whispered, "We will go too."

Luo Jin nodded, "Okay."

Walking north along the street, there are various shops and houses along the way. The range is very large. When Luo Jin went out, he saw soldiers holding portraits and looking for people everywhere, asking everyone they met.

After searching for half a day without any results, Jie Gui returned to Mo Garden and frowned, saying, "He should have been hiding in the carriage and not been seen by anyone. But there are so many carriages passing by every day, and many of them have purple curtains. And people generally don't pay special attention to the color of the curtains, so it's hard to find useful clues. We searched the city and checked all the carriages with purple curtains, but there are no clues."

Luo Jin said, "Could he have left the city?"

"It's possible. If he really left the city, it would be even harder to find him." Jie Gui sighed, "It's all my fault. I was too reckless at that time and scared him away, causing him to be caught when he was hiding."

He closed his eyes and thought, "He is a secret agent. If I were him, what would I do at this time? The bad guys are going to take me out of the city... The clues are going to be cut off, how can I save myself..."

After a long time, he opened his eyes, "There must be other clues left by the city gate. Let's go to the city gate to find it!"

Jie Gui was very mobile. As soon as he thought of it, he took the Imperial City Guards to the city gate and searched carefully near the city gate.

When it was getting dark, he finally found another piece of cloth. Like the previous one, it was stained with some blood. The cloth was stuffed in a hole in the wall. The Imperial City Guards searched carefully for a long time before finding it.

Jie Gui looked for a long time and said, "Jicheng, Jixiang Pawnshop... is in critical condition."

"Critical condition?" Luo Jin was stunned, "He is sick? How could it be? He has always been in good health, how could he suddenly be in critical condition?"

"I don't know. Anyway, we have to rush to Jixiang Pawnshop in Jicheng to find out." Jie Gui said, "Lord Luo, please go back first, and let the Ministry of Justice handle this matter!"

Luo Jin shook his head, "I want to go too, I can always help."

Jiang Mo also said, "I'll go with her."

Jie Gui frowned for a long time, thinking that Jiang Mo's martial arts were so strong that he might be able to help. After thinking for a while, he finally nodded.

Several people rushed to Jicheng overnight.

Jicheng is not far from Weicheng. It is a very small city with a small population. It only takes a few hours to get there by official road. It was already late when they arrived. There were few people on the road. The shops on the street were all closed. Only the lights were on in the inn.

The three of them went to the inn to stay. The shopkeeper was dozing on the counter. When he saw the three of them coming in, he said with some embarrassment: "Our inn is full. We only have..."

Luo Jin had a bad feeling, "One room?"

"Yes."

"Are there any other inns here?" "It's

a small place, and there is only one."

Jie Gui said, "Miss Luo, please go upstairs and rest. The two of us can just find a place to stay for the night. It's okay."

Jiang Mo nodded, "You go to sleep. I'll watch over you outside."

He raised the sword in his hand. It was rare for him to bring a sword out today.

Luo Jin said, "You should go to sleep. It's more economical."

It's better to sleep with two people than with one person.

Jie Gui said, "How can that be..."

As they were arguing, a young female voice sounded behind them, "Sister Luo?"

Luo Jin turned around and saw a familiar little figure, "Xiao Lian? Is your master here?" It

was Long Ying's little apprentice Xiao Lian.

Xiao Lian nodded, "My master went out on a mission and left me here alone. Sister, are you guys here to stay as well?"

Luo Jin was immediately delighted, "Yes, but there are not enough rooms here, can sister squeeze into your room?"

"Sure, Xiao Lian can't sleep alone." Xiao Lian pouted, "Master went out without Xiao Lian, Xiao Lian was angry! Xiao Lian was very happy to hear sister's voice."

Jie Gui was slightly startled, "Did you hear Miss Luo's voice in the room?"

Xiaolian nodded, "Yes, what's wrong?"

Jie Gui pondered and said, "This level of hearing... above the eighth level?"

Xiaolian smiled, "Yes, Xiaolian just broke through to the eighth level, how did you know about this, uncle?"

"Uncle..." Jie Gui coughed, "she is the brother, she is the sister, and I am the brother, okay?"

Xiaolian pointed at Jiang Mo, "That one is the brother, you are the uncle."

Jie Gui: "..."

Luo Jin followed Xiaolian to her room to sleep. Jiang Mo and Jie Gui lived in the last guest room, which just solved the accommodation problem.

Xiaolian whispered, "They are talking about me!"

"Did you hear it again? What did they say?"

"She is only a few years old, and she has already reached the eighth level. How scary... That uncle seems to be not as good as Xiaolian, right? But my brother is a little better than Xiaolian."

"Xiaolian is really good at judging people!"

Luo Jin didn't expect Xiaolian to be so talented. She is only ten years old, but she has already reached the eighth level. In a few years, won't she reach the ninth level directly?

So far, the youngest person to break through to the ninth level is Shui Yingchen, who broke through to the ninth level at the age of fifteen. The second is Jiang Mo, who broke through just now when he was just seventeen years old.

Xiaolian is probably earlier than them.

Xiaolian is a very well-behaved girl, curled up in a small ball on the bed, not taking up any space. Luo Jin undressed and went to bed, and soon fell asleep while holding Xiaolian.

When it was almost dawn, Luo Jin felt something was wrong. She touched Xiaolian in her arms and felt that her body was hot, and she was obviously having a fever.

Generally speaking, people with high martial arts skills are also strong and less likely to get sick. How could she have a fever? Did she freeze last night?

Luo Jin pulled the quilt. She had been holding Xiaolian to sleep, and the quilt was wrapped well. How could she be frozen?

She felt a little guilty, and always felt that she was the one who caused Xiaolian to have a fever.

Xiaolian closed her eyes tightly and whispered, "Mom, I want to eat sweet date cakes."

Luo Jin held her hand, "Be good, sister will buy it for you now."

Xiaolian whispered again, "Mom... I gave the egg yolk to the hen, I don't like egg yolks."

Luo Jin: "..."

She went downstairs and asked the waiter to call a doctor, and went upstairs to treat Xiaolian.

The doctor took her pulse and prescribed some medicine to clear away heat and reduce fire. Luo Jin asked the waiter to get the medicine and she stayed by the side.

Jie Gui didn't see Luo Jin coming out for a long time, so he knocked on the door and came in.

"She has a fever, and her master is not here," Luo Jin said, "You go to the shop first to check if there is anything abnormal. I will stay here and wait for her master to come back."

"Okay." Jie Gui went out.

The waiter helped to boil the medicine and brought it over. Luo Jin gently helped Xiaolian up and patted her shoulder, "Wake up and take the medicine, Xiaolian."

Xiaolian slowly opened her eyes, "Sister... Xiaolian... my head hurts..."

"It won't hurt after you drink the medicine. Just drink it obediently, okay?" Luo Jin took the medicine bowl from the waiter.

"Okay."

"What's the matter?"

A woman's voice suddenly sounded outside the door, "Luo Jin? Why are you here?"

Long Ying walked in from outside, "What's wrong with Xiaolian?"

"She has a fever," Luo Jin looked up at Long Ying, "Does she have a fever often?"

"No, she has always been in good health, why did she suddenly have a fever?" Long Ying squatted down and touched Xiaolian's forehead, "It's so hot..."

She walked forward and took Xiaolian from Luo Jin's arms, "Let me take care of her, you must be busy with something, right?"

Luo Jin nodded and said, "Indeed."

If she had nothing to do, she wouldn't have come to Jicheng on purpose.

"Then... I'll go first?"

"Okay, thank you for taking care of Xiaolian."

Luo Jin left Long Ying's room and closed the door.

Seeing Jie Gui and Jiang Mo coming back from outside, she went up to them and asked, "What's going on? Is there anything unusual in the pawnshop?"

"It's just an ordinary pawnshop, I can't see anything." Jie Gui shook his head and said, "Jiang Mo sneaked in and looked around, but he didn't find Xiao Xiaoyu. He wasn't there."

Luo Jin frowned slightly. She felt something was wrong from the beginning.

Now this feeling is even stronger.
