"What's going on?" Xue Duan Sheng was extremely astonished, and only then did he start panicking. If the people outside were all captured, then he would have committed a grave dereliction of duty.

"When we came here, we had already inquired about it. One of the reasons was because the people outside the city ran away due to the dried up river, but there was an even more important reason. It was because they were captured." Xue Luoyun said.

"This is indeed an official dereliction of duty." Xue Duan Sheng hurriedly apologized when he heard of this matter.

"Let's not talk about that for now. What's the situation in the city? Quickly tell us." Xue Ruyun knew that now was not the time to blame others. She could faintly feel that this powerful organization had already begun to extend its evil hands into the city.

"During this period of time, there have been many people disappearing from the city. The missing persons were all young and strong young men or beautiful women. Over the past month, more than ten people have gone missing. " Xue Duan Sheng was worried.

"What measures have been taken?"

"We have sent out constables to investigate, barrage, disguise as commoners, lure snakes out of their caves and many other methods, but they are all useless. The other party seems to know our every move like the back of his hand. Thus, I came to the Grand Master to speculate that there might be a traitor within our county. " Xue Duan Ling Tian's brows knitted tightly.

"It looks like I need to set up a plan to imprint this information first." Xue Luoyun seemed to have thought of something.

As they were talking, they suddenly heard a sound coming from outside the door.

"Who is it!" Mu Ying turned his head and swung his sword.

"Ah — it's me." Xue Shaoli's voice rang out.

When they walked out, they saw that the sword was stuck in the door, just a few millimeters from her neck. Xue Shaori stood there, as if he was frightened and did not move at all.

"What are you doing sneaking around outside the door?" Xue Ruyun gave her a sidelong glance.

"No, big sister, why did you wrongly accuse me?" I just happened to pass by the door. " Xue Shaoli slowly left the sword before letting out a sigh of relief. She patted her chest and spoke with grievance.

"In the future, don't do anything without making a sound. Go down." After reprimanding them for a while, the few of them returned to the room and continued their discussion.

Xue Ruyun gazed at Xue Shaoli's back a few times, seemingly deep in thought.

"This is so infuriating, I almost died just now." Xue Shaoli went back into the room angrily and sat on the bed.

"Miss, what's wrong?" Liu Xu hurriedly went up to massage her shoulders and legs and asked.

Xue Shaoli instructed the servants to leave before she said softly, "They're already beginning to suspect that there's a traitor within the courthouse."

"Ah, Miss, could it be that you've been discovered?" Liu Xu covered her mouth and asked in a low voice.

"Nonsense, if I was discovered, would I still be standing here safe and sound?" Xue Shaori rolled his eyes at her.

"They just suspected, but there was no evidence. They just heard they were planning to lure me in. "It's a pity they found out before we even heard about the plan!" Xue Shaoli patted her chest in fear.

"Then what should we do?" Liu Xu asked worriedly.

"Now that we don't know what their plan is, we must be careful about everything and not fall into their trap." Xue Shaoli calmed down and pondered.

"If only we knew their plans. This Xue Ruyun has a profound scheming mind. He has the most ideas, so it is impossible to guard against him. "

"Yeah, but she lives so far away. If it's closer, we can ask around." When Xue Shaoli thought of this, she hated Xue Lianshui for messing with Mrs Zhao.

"It was both their short-sighted vile characters who interrupted my plan. Otherwise, if Xue Ruoyun lived in the residence, it would have been much more convenient for him." Xue Shaoli thought of her sister and mother and felt extremely annoyed.

After exiting the county magistrate, Xue Ruyun and Mu Ying's moods became heavy. From what Xue Duan Sheng had said and the information they had gathered from the bun house, they knew that there was definitely a large and mysterious evil sect in Qing Shui County.

And this cult has a long history, and recently it has begun to extend its black hands into the city. If he did not stop them in time and lose the labor of the young, the elderly, the weak, and the handicapped, no one would take care of them. Sooner or later, the lives of the people in the city would become like those outside the city.

Most importantly, he did not know what the purpose of this organization was.

"What do you think they want with these young people?" Xue Ruyun asked as they walked.

"They must have taken the labor force. They must have gone to do something that requires manual labor." Mu Ying said.

"A man with physical strength, opening the mountain? Mining? Making things? Build a palace? "Soldier Training..." Xue Ruoyun ignored them one by one.

"Soldier Training?" Mu Sheng stopped. His brows were tightly knitted, as if he had thought of something. For some reason, he suddenly recalled the person who had wanted to take away Yun Zhi. According to the dark guard, they behaved strangely, had no memory, were not afraid of pain, were not even afraid of death, and were extremely powerful.

"What did you think of?" After waiting for him to think for a while, Xue Ruyun stopped and asked.

"Zombie soldiers." The word came out of Mu Sheng's mouth.

"What are zombie soldiers?" Xue Muyun didn't understand.

"This is a type of legend recorded in the ancient books. They say that after the death of Emperor Qin, all of the terracotta soldiers in his underground tomb were resurrected. Furthermore, these terracotta soldiers are brave and fearless, with extraordinary strength. These soldiers had guarded the Royal Tomb for many years, none of those who wished to enter had returned alive. Some people even said that with the help of these soldiers, Qin Shi Huang had established a new dynasty in the underground. " Mu Ying said.

He had traveled extensively and would occasionally look at the strange discussions about military strategy. Although these were all folklore, they were not worth believing. However, the zombies in this room were very similar to the zombies in that it was very similar to the zombies in that it was different from the zombies in that it was different from the zombies in that it was different from the zombies in that it was different.

After Xue Muyun heard this, some thoughts flashed through his mind, "You're saying that someone captured these youths and trained them to be zombie soldiers?"

"I can't rule out that possibility." Mu Yong said solemnly. If there really is someone training these soldiers, then what is their goal? "

"Conspiracy?" Xue Ruyun blurted out with his eyes wide open as he looked at Mu Sheng.

"It's possible." Mu Sheng's expression became more serious. It seemed that there was a huge conspiracy behind this matter. It might be related to the safety of the entire Western Lion Country.

Feeling the seriousness of the situation, Xue Luoyun and the others could not just sit by and do nothing. It seemed that they had to quickly start moving.

At the same time, Mu Sheng quickly gave up a copy of the contract and sent it to Mu Zheng, informing him of his guess.

"Mu Sheng, I have an idea..." Xue Ruyun had been silent the entire way back. When they arrived at their residence, she thought for a moment before suddenly speaking to Mu Ying.

"You can't!" Before Xue Ruyun could finish speaking, Mu Sheng directly denied her. He knew what Xue Ruyun meant. She was definitely going to risk her life to lure those people over.

"I have martial arts, I think there's no progress right now, so why don't we go deeper in and pretend to be captured by these people so that we can find out their secret and discover their lair?" This is the fastest and most effective way to do it. " Xue Ruyun tried to persuade Mu Sheng.

"Don't even think about it, this is too dangerous." Mu Ying rejected him flatly. Because right now, it was only a suspicion, and he didn't know who the person behind it was.

"If we don't enter the tiger's den, we won't get the tiger. Think about it, now that they have already put their black hands into the city, if we do not quickly find them, all of the strong men in the city will be taken away in less than half a year.

"You're being too impulsive. We still have a lot of questions. One, how big is this organization and how many people are there? Will you be able to escape if you go in there? Two, we haven't found out the culprit yet. What if they know your plan and are waiting to invite you to join them? Three, even if they didn't know you were pretending, do you know what those people who were arrested did? "What if..."

Mu Ying thought about the corpses of those few men from before. He didn't dare to imagine anything happening to Xue Ruyun. What should he do? He definitely wouldn't let Xue Ruyun take this risk.

This was the first time he had said so much out of emotion. Because he knew Xue Luoyun's personality. Once she made a decision, it would be very difficult to change it. He was afraid that she would not listen to his advice, afraid that she would take the risk, afraid that he would lose her.

"I just..."

"Don't go." Mu Sheng didn't wait for Xue Ruyun to finish before he suddenly pulled her into her embrace.

Xue Ruyun didn't expect Mu Ying to be this excited. Mu Ying had always been calm and collected before, but today, he had lost his composure because of a small decision he had made.

Xue Ruyun's heart warmed. She began to realize the importance she held towards Mu Ying. I used to feel like a single individual.

But now, she felt deeply that she was being cared for by someone else. His every word and gesture would have a huge impact on him.

Xue Luoyun suddenly understood the principle of love. It was to care for a person as if they were her own life. She began to feel the meaning of her existence, and for the first time, she gave in.

"I'm just making a suggestion, I didn't say that I must go. Don't be nervous." Xue Ruyun lightly caressed Mu Ying's back.

"Really?" The corners of Mu Sheng's mouth curled up as she let go of her. She was incomparably happy. She never thought that Xue Ruyun would actually change his mind. It seemed that she was paying more and more attention to him; Mu Ying had never been this happy before.

"We'll think it over and investigate." Xue Ruyun said, and could only think of other methods.

"Alright." Mu Sheng laughed, his beauty capable of shaking the hearts of all.

In the dark of night, a carrier pigeon landed in Xue Shaoli's backyard.

Seeing that there was no one around, Liu Xu suddenly grabbed the pigeon, took out the letter from her feet and walked towards Xue Shaoli's room in a hurry.

"Miss, Third Prince has sent a letter." Liu Xu said softly as she closed the door and window.

"Great, quickly bring it over." Xue Shaoli took the letter impatiently and opened it.

"Get ready to move." Mu Lingfeng only said this. Xue Shaoli turned it over and over a few times, but she still could only say this. She was somewhat disappointed.

After looking forward to so many days, he had originally thought that a tender and affectionate words from Mu Lingfeng would come, but it was only directed by him.
