Chapter 44 Returning in vain
Jiang Yu stood at the door and listened to the two of them arguing.
One said that there are still people in your family who need to be taken care of, and you cannot enter the city lord's mansion; the other said that the eldest son in the family is already old and can take care of himself and his mother. You were injured because of us, and it is my responsibility to enter the mansion to take care of you. , a person who pays attention to repaying kindness, and they will support me.
Two people go back and forth, and no one can convince the other.
Jiang Yu looked at the sky speechlessly and couldn't help but say: "I think——"
The two people looked over immediately.
"It's pointless for you to be so noisy." She smiled but said, "You're going to win anyway."
She caught them all, and they were discussing whether to enter or not in front of her.
She casually took out a communication talisman and sent a message to Yuan Heng. She looked at Jun Mo who was opening his mouth to talk back. The corners of his mouth were pursed into a straight line. She took a step to the left to completely expose the door for him, and raised her head back: " Go in, Yuan Heng is in the house."
"I still have something to do." Jiang Yu walked down the steps and passed by them, "I'll bother you to go in by yourselves."
Jun Mo's attention was attracted again by her words, and he couldn't help but ask: "What are you doing out so late?"
A vigil?
He saw that two of them had already gone out, but they didn't use the back door either?
“Let’s go for a walk around the city.” Jiang Yu didn’t tell the truth. He looked around between Uncle Cheng and Jun Mo, then looked at the almost eaten roast duck in the paper bag on the ground, and picked He raised his eyebrows, "Have you been sitting here for so long without a guard coming over?"
Jun Mo seemed to have thought of something, and raised his eyebrows after her, spreading his hands: "No, when I came out, I basically passed the road on the left side of the garden, and there were no patrolling guards."
That road on the left?
Jiang Yu’s heart skipped a beat.
She also came from the left side.
She thought she hid it well. If what Jun Mo said was true, it wasn't that she hid it well, but that the city lord's mansion didn't have anyone patrolling at all——
Or, the person patrolling has disappeared.
Jiang Yu looked a little ugly and wanted to ask Wen Renhuai, but the plan was set and she couldn't give up halfway.
"I understand." Jiang Yu forced a smile, "You go in first."
She left in a hurry with her thoughts on her mind, and naturally did not see Jun Mo's expression of pain the moment after she left.
In Uncle Cheng's frightened expression, Jun Mo's face suddenly turned pale. Huge pain suddenly swept through his entire brain, and his heart seemed to be suddenly penetrated by a sword. He had to bend down in pain.
Is it... is it a sequelae of fighting those demons?
"Xiao Lang!"
Uncle Cheng hurriedly came to help him, but he could only grab the corners of his sleeves.
Jun Mo suddenly fell to the ground as if he was overwhelmed. One hand was tightly held by Uncle Cheng, and the other hand barely supported the ground. For a moment, he couldn't help but scratch his chest, hoping to relieve the pain.
"Xiao Lang——" Uncle Cheng immediately squatted down to help him, looking anxious and frightened, "What should I do? What should I do?"
Under the pain, Jun Mo was confused and completely unable to answer his questions.
"I hurt so much..." Fine cold sweat covered his forehead, and tears rolled down his face and hit the ground in large drops. Jun Mo couldn't help but tremble, "It hurts so much..."
Why does it hurt so much?
He is going to be hurt to death...
In a daze, he almost thought he was going to die, and the hands rubbing his chest turned white from his clenching movements.
It seemed like he was really going to die, and the memories of these years kept popping up in his mind. He was rescued when he was about to die. He was fortunate enough to enter the Cangyu Sect and practice together with his fellow disciples for so many years.
He thought of the people on the mountain who were still waiting for him to return from participating in the sect competition, and his consciousness became more and more confused: "Master..."
Finally, he vaguely heard someone approaching him, and a hand held him.
"What's going on?"
.
Jiang Yu left the city through the small door Jun Mo mentioned before.
Just as Jun Mo said, the path became narrower and narrower, and she even had to walk sideways at the last section.
Wenren Huaixin sent a team of guards to guard the intersection. Fortunately, they all seemed to have seen her face, and they let her out easily without any effort on her part.
Jiang Yu shuttled through the forest. The moonlight fell, and mottled shadows fell on Jiang Yu. With the sound of her footsteps, the surroundings seemed a little scary for a moment.
It was dark in the forest, but fortunately the moon was bright enough tonight so she could see her own shadow clearly.
Jiang Yu didn't know where the demon's lair was. He was just wandering around, making noises and trying to lure people out.
If nothing else goes wrong, one of her cheap father and sect leader Song Lian should already be preparing to rush to Lingdu.
They no longer have to worry about force.
It's just a pity that they can't think of any way to have the best of both worlds, which can not only quickly find the traitor, but also rescue these ordinary people as soon as possible.
Jiang Yu thought about the people who had been captured and wandered around outside the city for a long time. He even went to the formation that was destroyed by her and Yuan Heng during the day and wiped a few random strokes with his feet.
But until dawn broke in the sky, she didn't see even a shadow of the evil spirit.
In the second half of the night, she bravely took her sword and entered the caves around Lingdu where people could hide one by one to search, but she was surprised not to see even a hair of the evil devil.
Jiang Yu was discouraged. After Yujian searched around Lingdu again, he had no choice but to return to the city lord's mansion.
After returning in vain, she happened to bump into Wen Renhuai at the door who was about to go out.
When the other party saw her, he was obviously stunned for a moment, and saw the fatigue in her eyebrows: "Fellow Taoist Jiang, did you go out last night?"
He remembered that there seemed to be only two people who went out to watch the night last night.
Jiang Yu said "Hmm" listlessly: "I didn't fall asleep last night. I went out for a walk, but I fell asleep while looking at the moon on the roof. When I woke up -" Her expression was a little uncomfortable, and she frowned and stretched. He twisted his arms and neck again, and couldn't help complaining, "My back hurts."
As if she suddenly realized that the people standing in front of her were not her familiar classmates, Jiang Yu suddenly restrained her movements, pursed her lips and smiled: "Let the city lord laugh."
She was a petite little girl who had just come down from the mountain. The whole city was under martial law outside and everyone was worried that the evil spirit would find her. However, she was very arrogant and could lie down on the roof and fall asleep outside, as if she was not wary at all.
It is said that in addition to Qingyun Immortal Lord, the biological father, Demon Lord also dotes on this goddaughter, which shows how naive the family has raised her.
Wen Renhuai smiled gently and did not continue to ask further: "Young fellow Taoist, you're welcome, but it's still early. If you haven't had a good rest, you can sleep a little longer."
Jiang Yu nodded and tilted his head: "Does the mayor want to go out so early?"
Wen Renhuai lowered his head and took out a letter from his sleeve: "This is the letter from 'Uncle Cheng'. He said that the letter he asked fellow Taoist Yuan to bring home last night was too simple and had nothing to do with it. I didn’t explain it clearly. Now that Mr. Jun is awake, he is afraid that his family will be worried, so he wrote another letter and asked me to take it with him. "
