"Brother Lu, the court is looking for you for something, and I hope you will go to Qingshui Mansion."
Lu Changsheng and the three of them were in full swing in Emei, and there were people from the imperial dynasty.
"The imperial court has nothing to do with me Emei, what do you want me to do in Qingshui Mansion?"
Lu Changsheng didn't understand, looked at Bai Yifeng and said.
"I don't know."
"Does it have something to do with Wutang?"
Bai Yifeng shook his head, looking dazed.
Lin Qingxuan on the side is the same.
"You two are in Emei, I'll go to Qingshui Mansion."
Lu Changsheng was unwilling to waste brain cells, and he would know what was going on.
"Let's be with you, so we can take care of it."
Lin Qingxuan was worried about Lu Changsheng going alone and wanted everyone to go together.
"No."
"Emei does not have high-end combat power now, if I leave, it will definitely give some people an opportunity, I will go to Qingshui Mansion alone, but nothing will happen."
"Are you still worried about me?"
Speaking of this, Lu Changsheng looked indifferent.
Seeing this situation, Lin Qingxuan and Bai Yifeng no longer worried.
After all, the other party's methods can be called mysterious and unpredictable.
Often when they need to understand clearly, the other party gives them some surprises.
Hearing Lu Changsheng say this, they thought about it too.
If you go alone, you don't have to worry, but you don't need to worry.
"Okay."
Lin Qingxuan and Bai Yifeng finally nodded, feeling that Lu Changsheng's words made sense.
……
Lu Changsheng embarked on a journey to Qingshui Mansion alone.
Although he was curious about the intentions of the imperial court, he also understood that as the head of Mount Emei, he must be ready to deal with various challenges at any time.
Qingshui Mansion is located on the southwestern border of the Imperial Dynasty and is a prosperous commercial city, and it is also an important gateway for exchanges between the Imperial Dynasty and foreign tribes.
Lu Changsheng knew that such places were often mixed with various forces, and the intentions of the imperial court might be related to these forces.
After arriving at Qingshui Mansion, Lu Changsheng was taken to a quiet mansion.
Here, he met a middle-aged man in official uniform, who claimed to be an envoy of the imperial court, named Li Wenyuan.
"Master Lu, I have long admired the great name."
Li Wenyuan bowed with respect.
"Lord Li, I don't know what the court has summoned me for, what's the matter?"
Lu Changsheng asked directly.
Li Wenyuan smiled slightly, "Head Lu is really straightforward. The court summoned you this time, and there is indeed an important matter that needs your help."
"Please speak." Lu Changsheng responded calmly.
"A series of mysterious incidents have occurred in Qingshui Prefecture recently, many caravans and people have disappeared for no reason, and the court suspects that this is related to foreign races." Li Wenyuan looked serious, "The court hopes that Chief Lu can assist in investigating this matter and find out the truth."
Lu Changsheng frowned slightly, he knew that this matter was not trivial.
The intervention of foreign forces may cause even greater turmoil.
He nodded, "Since it is related to the people, Lu should do his best."
Li Wenyuan nodded in satisfaction, "Master Lu, this matter is of great importance, and the imperial court will provide all necessary support. In addition, the Zhenwu Division will also fully assist you."
Lu Changsheng's heart moved, the Zhenwu Division was the institution responsible for maintaining martial arts order in the imperial dynasty, and their intervention meant that this matter might involve some forces in the martial arts.
"Thank you, Master Li, Lu will act as soon as possible."
Lu Changsheng stood up and prepared to start investigating.
Li Wenyuan also stood up, "Master Lu, be careful."
Lu Changsheng left the mansion, thinking secretly in his heart.
He knew that this task would not be simple, but he also believed that with his strength and wisdom, he would be able to uncover the truth and protect the peace of Qingshui Mansion.
Lu Changsheng was walking on the streets of Qingshui Mansion, his eyes sharp, observing everything around him.
He knew that to find clues, he had to go deep into every corner of the city.
He first came to the area where disappearances were most frequent, this was a bustling market, with vendors shouting one after another, but Lu Changsheng could feel that there was a hint of unusual aura hidden here.
Lu Changsheng walked into a teahouse, ordered a pot of tea, and sat quietly in the corner, his ears perked up, listening to the conversations of the people around him.
He heard some rumors about the disappearance, but most of them were nonsense and no substantive information.
At this moment, a man in coarse cloth clothes hurriedly walked into the teahouse, with an anxious look on his face.
Lu Changsheng noticed that the man had a martial arts token hanging around his waist.
"This brother, look at your hurried expression, is there anything urgent?"
Lu Changsheng asked.
The man looked up and saw Lu Changsheng, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, "Are you... Master Lu?"
Lu Changsheng nodded, "It's right below."
The man quickly saluted, "I am a disciple of Zhenwu Si, named Zhao Tiezhu. We are investigating the disappearance, but progress is slow."
Lu Changsheng motioned for Zhao Tiezhu to sit down, "Brother Zhao, can you tell me some details?"
Zhao Tiezhu nodded, "Most of the missing people were caravans traveling at night, and they all disappeared outside the city. We suspect that there may be foreign forces working secretly."
Lu Changsheng pondered for a moment, "Brother Zhao, can you take me outside the city to take a look?"
Zhao Tiezhu hesitated for a moment, but when he saw Lu Changsheng's firm eyes, he nodded, "Okay, Master Lu, please come with me."
The two left the teahouse and walked towards the outside of the city.
Lu Changsheng knew in his heart that this investigation would be full of challenges, but he also believed that as long as he persisted, the truth would eventually be revealed.
Lu Changsheng and Zhao Tiezhu passed through the gate of Qingshui Mansion and came to the wilderness outside the city.
The scene here is completely different from the prosperity of the city, it is desolate, with only the rustling of the wind blowing through the grass.
"Master Lu, this is one of the places where the disappearance occurred."
Zhao Tiezhu pointed to a trampled grass and said.
Lu Changsheng squatted down and carefully observed the grass.
He found some unusual marks, some grass flattened, as if someone or something had stayed here.
"Brother Zhao, these traces are newly left, it seems that we have found the right place."
Lu Changsheng stood up and scanned the surroundings with sharp eyes.
Zhao Tiezhu nodded, "Yes, our disciples of the martial arts hall have also found similar traces here, but they have not found more clues."
Lu Changsheng closed his eyes and took a deep breath, trying to sense the surrounding environment through his breath.
His internal strength is profound, and he can sense subtle changes that are difficult for ordinary people to perceive.
Suddenly, his brows furrowed, and he felt a faint aura, this aura did not belong to humans, but some kind of beast.
"Brother Zhao, there may be beasts infested here."
Lu Changsheng opened his eyes and said to Zhao Tiezhu.
Zhao Tiezhu was stunned, "Beast? Could it be that the missing person is related to the beast?"
Lu Changsheng shook his head, "No, this aura is not an ordinary beast, it is more powerful and more dangerous."
Zhao Tiezhu became nervous, "Then what should we do?"
Lu Changsheng said in a deep voice: "We must find the source of this breath, it may be the key to solving the mystery of the disappearance."
The two decided to go deep into the wilderness to track down the mysterious aura.
Lu Changsheng walked in front, Zhao Tiezhu followed closely behind, and they carefully walked through the grass, moving in the direction of their aura getting stronger and stronger.
As they went deeper, the surroundings became increasingly desolate, with sparse trees and rugged ground.
Lu Changsheng's perception was getting stronger and stronger, and he could feel that aura was not far away.
Finally, they came to an open area where there was a huge cave, and the mouth of the cave exuded that mysterious aura.
"This is it."
Lu Changsheng said in a low voice, his eyes fixed on the cave.
Zhao Tiezhu nervously clenched the sword in his hand, "Master Lu, do we want to go in?"
Lu Changsheng nodded, "Yes, we have to go in. The missing person may be inside."
The two took a deep breath and prepared to enter the cave to uncover the truth about the mystery of their disappearance.
