"Ah, Young Master, you must have come from a big city. You don't understand the situation of our small border villages at all." The waiter was used to this.
"Southern Cliff Town and the nearby villages are not under the jurisdiction of the government. Look at our land. There are people from Later Qin, Zhou State, and Tang Yuan. The government of any country doesn't dare to control these people." The waiter told Yun Sheng some of the local situation.
Yun Sheng, who came from Yujing, did not know these things.
The area around Southern Cliff Town was not under the jurisdiction of the nearby government, but was under the jurisdiction of the nearby garrison.
Yun Sheng remembered that Second Uncle once said that the current garrison in this area was the nephew of the Marquis of Jiayuan.
The Marquis of Jiayuan was also the second general in the imperial court after the Residence of Yun.
When the incident happened in the nearby villages, the garrison only rushed over a few days later after receiving the news.
However, they only brought a few soldiers over and sealed off the village. After investigating, they did not find any clues and left the matter unsettled.
Because of this, the people of the nearby villages were in a state of panic. The villages that were slightly richer would hire some hunters to protect them. The villages that were poor could only pray to the heavens that misfortune would not come to their door.
The waiter of the restaurant was also from a nearby village. His family was also worried day and night about that unknown group of bandits coming to their door.
Speaking of those bandits, they were really very mysterious. They came and went without a trace. Even if the government wanted to investigate, they could not find any clues.
As a result, the rumors of the villagers' livestock going missing for no reason became more and more ridiculous.
"Zong Shige, is the Jingkou Village that the waiter mentioned one of the villages that were attacked?" Yun Sheng asked.
"Yes, Master." Zong Shige nodded. Hearing the waiter's words, everyone sympathized with Liu Zi even more.
In fact, the information that he heard was similar to what the waiter said. That group of mysterious bandits came and went without a trace. Even he did not find any clues.
"Let's take him back first. When he wakes up, we'll think of a way." Yun Sheng had a feeling that she might find something unexpected on Liu Zi.
When Yun Sheng returned to the inn, Zhou Quan had already settled the hunters down.
"Where's my second uncle?" Yun Sheng wanted to tell Yun Canglang what she had heard and listen to his opinion. After all, Yun Canglang had stayed in the border area for a while and was more familiar with the surrounding situation.
Yun Sheng also wanted to inquire about some information regarding the Marquis of Jiayuan's army through Yun Canglang.
"Commander went out, but he didn't say where he went. He was still with everyone earlier, saying that he was going to pay a visit to Marquis of Jiayuan's garrison. When everyone turned around, he was gone." Zhou Quan was surprised to see that Yun Sheng had brought an injured youth back.
Yun Sheng looked around and realized that Yun Canglang had left in a hurry. He didn't even take his horse with him.
If he went out of the city to inspect the terrain, he would definitely take the horses with him.
"You went out alone? Didn't you leave a message? " Yun Sheng felt that it was a bit strange. According to her understanding of her second uncle, if he had something to do, he would definitely notify her in advance.
"It should be. Actually, I was also a bit hazy at that time." Zhou Quan rubbed his head in embarrassment. "We were just settling down the horses and luggage outside when someone was busking on the street. The music was so good that I was entranced by it."
It wasn't just Zhou Quan. The other hunters who were present also had the same reaction.
"What kind of artist?" Yun Sheng looked at the street again, but didn't see any artists.
"It seemed to be a young man playing a flute." Zhou Quan thought for a long time, but still couldn't remember the artist's appearance.
"You guys, take good care of this youth. If he wakes up, calm him down first. Zong Yi, Huang Que, the three of us will go out of town together to find second uncle. "Yun Sheng felt a wave of unease in her heart.
She vaguely felt that the artist wasn't simple.
Standing at the entrance of the town, the road in front of them split into two. One led to the south, the other led to the north. They didn't know which side Yun Canglang went to.
In order to make it easier to find him, Yun Sheng and Zong Yi split up. They agreed that if they didn't find Yun Canglang before sunset, they would return to the inn first.
Huang Que's legs weren't as fast as Yun Sheng's, so Yun Sheng simply cast a levitation technique on her. The two of them went to the south of town to search.
"Miss, why are you so worried? Did something happen to the general? "Huang Que knew Yun Sheng. Even if Mt. Tai collapsed in front of her, she wouldn't easily change her expression.
But at this time, Yun Sheng's expression was gloomy. She couldn't help but worry.
"En, you might not have noticed, but when I came back just now, Zhou Quan and the others' eyes were still a bit blurry. It was clear that someone used a special method to hypnotize them." Yun Sheng's Shen Nong Eye actually had a similar effect.
But she knew that if she only used the current Shen Nong Eye, it was absolutely impossible to hypnotize a Martial Marquis expert like Yun Canglang.
The other party had secretly hypnotized Zhou Quan and lured Yun Canglang away as a prostitute. The other party's strength, at least in the aspect of hypnotism, was much higher than her own.
The only person Yun Shengge could think of was someone from Grand Emperor City.
The two of them hurried all the way. Unknowingly, they were already five to six li away.
After leaving the town, the front looked very desolate.
Further ahead was the intersection of Zhou State, Later Qin, and Tang Yuan.
Because this area was remote, it was mixed with good people and bad people. Yun Sheng had no choice but to slow down her movements.
But there was still no trace of Yun Canglang ahead.
The sky was getting darker and darker. It was almost dusk.
Yun Sheng still couldn't find Yun Canglang's whereabouts. She couldn't help but wonder if she was looking in the wrong direction. She only hoped that Zong Yi's luck would be better.
Just as Yun Sheng was about to turn around and return to the town first, she and the oriole paused at the same time.
"!" Yun Sheng and the oriole looked at each other.
"Oriole, did you hear anything?" Yun Sheng frowned.
"It seems to be the sound of a flute. This flute sound is very familiar." The oriole wasn't very sure either. She looked ahead blankly.
"It's the flute sound. It should be not far away. Di Hong Song. This flute sound is very similar to the incomplete song you played earlier." Yun Sheng couldn't help but become cautious.
Suddenly hearing the familiar Di Hong Song in this kind of place, and the song was obviously much smoother and more skillful than any of the times the oriole had played earlier.
Could it be that the people from Di Hong City had come?!
Although Yun Sheng wasn't very proficient in music, her memory was very good. Yun Canglang had also taught her three chapters of Di Hong Song.
The two of them didn't hesitate and immediately rushed forward.
The field of vision in front gradually widened.
The scene in front of them made Yun Sheng and the oriole stop in their tracks.
What did they see?
