Chapter 140 Looking for Someone at Midnight
Seeing the innkeeper's calm and fearless look, Luo Lingyue became even angrier. She stretched out her hand and snatched the sword from Luo Lingzhang's hand. With a flick of her wrist, the sword's light flashed and the innkeeper's left ear was cut off by her sword!
The innkeeper let out a horrible scream that echoed throughout the inn. The sword in Luo Lingyue's hand moved smoothly and stopped at his right ear. The tip of the sword flashed with cold light, which made the innkeeper shudder.
"Shut up!" Luo Lingyue stared at the innkeeper with cold eyes and said sternly: "Answer my questions honestly if you don't want to die! Otherwise, I will cut off your ears, nose, and every piece of flesh on your body one by one!"
The innkeeper covered his left ear which was bleeding profusely, looked at Luo Lingyue in horror, and begged for mercy in a trembling voice: "Lady, please spare my life! I really don't know who they are! They just gave me some silver and told me to hang a red lantern outside the inn as long as a girl stayed in the inn! I really don't know anything else! Please spare my life!"
Luo Lingyue snorted coldly, turned around and ordered the guards behind him: "Tie this guy up and gag him! Leave two people here to guard him! The rest of you come with me to find him!"
However, at this moment, Luo Lingfeng suddenly reached out and grabbed her. "Xiao Qi, Jing Han and I will go, you stay in the inn." Luo Lingfeng looked at Luo Lingyue seriously, his eyes full of concern.
Luo Lingyue thought that if she followed Luo Lingfeng and Xiao Jinghan, some things might not be easy to handle. Therefore, she accepted Luo Lingfeng's arrangement: "Sixth brother! You must be more careful!"
Luo Lingfeng bit his lip and said, "Don't worry! I will definitely bring the two maids back safely! Otherwise, Jinghan, you should also stay in the inn to accompany Xiaoqi. If anything unexpected happens to you, I won't be able to explain to His Majesty!"
Xiao Jinghan smiled slightly and responded firmly: "Sixth brother! You lead the guards to search, and I can lead His Majesty's secret guards to search. This way, the chances of success will be greatly increased! Besides, with the secret guards protecting me, I will definitely be fine."
Luo Lingfeng pondered for a moment and felt that what Xiao Jinghan said made sense. After all, His Majesty's secret guards would only obey Xiao Jinghan's orders, which would indeed increase the chances of finding the person!
Then, he patted Xiao Jinghan's shoulder vigorously and warned: "Be careful in everything!"
After the two teams left the inn, Luo Lingyue also returned to her room. She quickly used the art of disguise to transform herself into the mysterious and cold Dark Moon Fairy, and picked up the bright red umbrella, with murderous intent on her face.
Who dares to touch the person she cares about? Doesn't he want to save his own life? Dark Moon Fairy leaped onto the rooftop lightly and stood there quietly, like a ghost in the dark night. She blew the flute in her hand gently, making a clear and pleasant sound. Not long after, a small snake and a bird led Mu San and the Sword Spirit to her side like a shadow.
Mu San asked respectfully, "The Pavilion Master summoned me here. Is there something urgent?" Dark Moon Fairy raised her eyebrows slightly and asked sternly, "Someone paid us to ensure Luo Lingyue's safety before! But now her maid is missing. How did you do it?"
Mu San glanced at Jian Hun with some trepidation and explained, "Pavilion Master, before we left, you told us not to follow too closely, and our people didn't notice any traces of assassins or assassins... This is really puzzling."
Dark Moon Fairy couldn't help rubbing her forehead. She had indeed asked Mu San and Sword Soul to keep a certain distance from her, but she never expected something like this to happen. She said in a deep voice, "Gather all the people immediately! Find Luo Lingyue's two maids no matter what! Nothing can happen to them!"
After receiving the order, the two did not dare to delay at all and immediately led their men to search for Linglong and Liuli's whereabouts.
Time passed by, but there was still no clue. The entire Luoxia Town seemed to be turned upside down, and every corner was carefully searched, but still could not find their whereabouts.
The secret guards followed Xiao Jinghan closely, not daring to relax for a moment. However, at the corner of a narrow alley, Xiao Jinghan suddenly disappeared without a trace.
The head of the secret guards turned pale as paper in an instant, his hands and feet were cold, and his heart was filled with fear. If something happened to Prince Xiao, their lives would probably be in danger!
He widened his eyes and looked around, trying to find some clues. However, this alley looked ordinary, with nothing unusual. Beads of sweat appeared on the forehead of the head of the secret guard. He knew that he had a heavy responsibility. If he could not find Xiao Jinghan as soon as possible, the consequences would be disastrous.
He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He ordered the other secret guards to disperse and continue searching nearby, and told them to stay alert and not miss any details.
At the same time, the head of the secret guard decided to personally investigate the last place where Xiao Jinghan appeared before he disappeared. He carefully observed along the alley, hoping to find some useful clues. He was unwilling to let go of every stone, every inch of the wall, and even the dust on the ground.
During the intense search, time passed exceptionally slowly. The Dark Guard Chief felt increasingly depressed, knowing that he had to find Xiao Jinghan as soon as possible, otherwise everything would be in a desperate situation...
Dark Moon Fairy stood quietly on the top of the tallest tower in Luoxia Town. Her sharp and deep eyes slowly swept around, and she couldn't help but feel puzzled: Why couldn't the entire Luoxia Town find any trace of the missing girls? She frowned and fell into deep thought.
If she were the robber, where would she choose to hide these poor girls? She kept thinking about this question, and her eyes gradually fell on the Luoxia River in the distance. The endless Luoxia Mountain seemed to be the most ideal hiding place in her eyes.
Without hesitation, Dark Moon Fairy flew towards Luoxia Mountain. When she reached the foot of the mountain, she gently fumbled for the flute hanging from her waist, brought it close to her lips, and played a burst of sharp and piercing notes.
In a moment, a slight rustling sound came from the mountain, as if something was approaching.
A moment later, a group of snakes and rats appeared around her. Dark Moon Fairy did not stop playing the flute, but continued to guide them with the melodious sound of the flute. The snakes and rats rushed towards the mountain as if driven by some mysterious power.
As the snakes and rats left, Dark Moon Fairy gradually disappeared in the mountains and forests. She firmly believed that with the keen sense of smell and perception of these animals, she would be able to find the whereabouts of the missing girls. No matter what challenges and difficulties were waiting ahead, she was determined to uncover the truth behind this bizarre disappearance...
