Huiping Town, Xia Family Martial Arts School.

The mutton in the pot was simmering over low heat. The three members of Xia Da's family stared at the pot of meat eagerly, swallowed again and again, and finally endured it.

In these days, meat is precious.

This is used to entertain the senior brothers from the sect who are coming today. They cannot steal anything at this time.

Otherwise, it would be an ugly scene when the senior fellow apprentice comes and finds out that the food served to him is the leftover food.

"Master, the students from Baihua Valley are here."

A young man in his twenties walked in happily.

He is Xia Da's personal disciple, and he is responsible for keeping watch on the streets waiting for the disciples from Baihua Valley to arrive.

Hearing this, Xia Da quickly went out to greet him.

Then I saw a young man wearing azure clothes, riding a horse and coming to the door of his martial arts gym.

"But Senior Brother Baihuagu in person?"

Xia Da excitedly stepped forward and spoke.

He was once an outer disciple of Baihua Valley. When he reached the age of weak, his martial arts did not make much progress, so he left the academy and returned to his hometown of Huiping Town. He opened a martial arts school to teach boxing to make a living.

Now more than ten years have passed, and my life is pretty good. I am married and have children.

This time, it was Shada who reported the disappearance of people in the surrounding areas.

"I have met Senior Brother Xia. I am Lin Lin, who is an official disciple of Baihua Valley. This time, he is responsible for investigating the clues of the missing persons case here."

"I was delayed because of something on the road. I apologize for keeping my brother waiting for a long time and delaying my family's rest."

Lin Lin handed over his identity certificate, smiled and saluted with clasped fists, one mouthful after another.

Logically speaking, although Xia Da is much older than him, he does not need to call him Senior Brother Xia Da.

With his status as a formal disciple of a famous martial arts holy land like Baihua Valley, it is normal for him to speak condescendingly to someone like Xia Da who is a disciple of an outside disciple.

But Lin Lin was here to do something this time, not to show off his authority.

Naturally, it is impossible to be arrogant and domineering at this time and make your task more difficult.

Xia Da briefly checked the identity certificate and recognized from some cipher text on the identity certificate that the identity certificate was genuine.

After hearing Lin Lin's self-introduction, Xia Da, who had been living in Baihua Valley for many years, knew that the other party was here to complete the promotion task from a formal disciple to an elite disciple.

Regarding this incident, the other party will definitely try its best to solve it.

If this incident can be resolved, not only the reputation of Baihua Valley will rise.

As the leader, his local prestige will also increase significantly.

And when he saw Lin Lin calling him senior brother and giving himself face like this, he immediately felt a great affection for Lin Lin.

Even the dissatisfaction and resentment that had been waiting for half the night disappeared.

"Senior Brother Lin, you don't have to be polite. Come on, come on. I have a humble house and a little wine. I'll take care of you for you."

Shada pulled Lin Lin and walked into the martial arts gym.

The two of them exchanged pleasantries along the way, calling each other senior brother, and seemed to be enjoying themselves a bit.

Pulling Lin Lin to sit down, Xia Da introduced his family: "Senior brother Lin, this is the humble wife Xia Tu, and this is my little girl Xia Mingyue. Her basic understanding is much stronger than mine.

When she gets older, I plan to send her to a master to learn arts."

Xia Tu is a delicate woman who looks to be in her twenties. The cute little girl next to her who looks to be only five or six years old and has a timid expression is her daughter.

Lin Lin nodded slightly and said hello.

Then, Xia Da began to take the initiative to pour wine, arrange flavor plates for Lin Lin, and then toast Lin Lin.

Lin Lin took a sip after seeing the other party drinking.

The same was true for the mutton in the pot. He waited for Xia Da to pick up a piece and eat it before taking off his chopsticks.

And at first, Lin Lin tasted it briefly but did not swallow it.

Use your sense of taste and inner breath to analyze the food in your mouth in detail, and then you can eat it with confidence.

When traveling in the world, these are common sense, and you must be on guard against others.

This is why Baihua Valley has made geography and humanities courses and medicine and poison knowledge courses compulsory courses.

Without the guidance of elders in the sect, these young people who have good understanding but do not have much experience will easily pay bloody lessons when they travel around the world.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Shut away irrelevant people and start talking about business.

"Senior Brother Lin, this is some of the latest intelligence information I have collected."

While talking, Xia Da handed over a stack of paper.

Lin Lin looked through it briefly.

When he first accepted the mission, Lin Lin already knew the basic information about the disappearance case, and what Xia Da brought over now was more detailed information.

After noticing the large-scale disappearance of the population, the surrounding villages entered martial law.

But despite such strict security, people are still missing.

It's just that compared to the previous large-scale disappearances, the number of missing people now is much smaller.

"Give me a rough topographic map of the surrounding villages and towns."

Lin Lin said after reading the information.

Xia Da had already prepared it and quickly brought it over.

Based on the intelligence information he had just seen, Lin Lin started to outline the terrain map, and soon drew a rough range.

"According to the information you mentioned, Senior Brother Xia, the first people who disappeared were people from villages near the Lianyun Mountains, and then the missing people also came from the Lianyun Mountains from near to far. From this, it is not difficult to judge which group of people are probably

It is hidden in Lianyun Mountain."

"After martial law began in the surrounding villages, he could still arrest people quietly. His martial arts realm must have reached a certain level. He must have condensed his inner energy, and his strength is far beyond that of ordinary people. He should be a third-rate or above-average person.

Strength level.”

"However, judging from his sneaky behavior and his courage to cause trouble so close to Baihua Valley, he must have less than second-rate martial arts skills and low level of knowledge."

"I once heard from my elders about the development model of rogue bandits."

"In the beginning, a small group of refugees became bandits, and then they roamed around, looted and strengthened themselves. Later, when they had a certain strength, they found a place to settle, plundered the surrounding population as a labor force or to strengthen their own power, and then established a cottage.

Bandits are a disaster."

"The behavior of this wave of people is very similar to the behavior pattern of bandits turning into bandits."

"Senior Brother Xia, since you are a local, you should know the local gentry. Please contact them and gather thousands of local warriors to search for Yunshan. Then invite many local experts. I will hold the line to prevent them from counterattacking and killing ordinary people.

."

"It is necessary to wipe out this group of bandits before they become a threat, otherwise there will be endless disasters."

Lin Lin opened his mouth and unhurriedly told the information he had analyzed from the intelligence, as well as the next arrangements.
