Cute But Brutal Wife
Chapter 445: Visiting the Night Market
“Nothing disappears when they are at home?”
“No.”
After Feng Ling heard this, she did not ask any further and said to him, “You can go first.”
After Grandma Wang left, Feng Ling stopped eating and started thinking.
Seeing him like this, the king took again his favorite food and said, “Eat first. After eating, the person I sent to investigate will return. We will decide after we hear the result.”
Not long after the two of them had eaten, the man the king had sent back.
The information reported by the scouts was similar to what Grandma Wang had said.
“The people who disappeared were all between 16 and 30 years old. The common feature is that they disappear outside at night.”
The Phoenix Sky Kingdom was rich and powerful. There's a night market in the county at night. These young people are out to sell things to earn money or to accompany their lovers or family to play.
“However, when these people disappeared, they were alone and no one saw how they disappeared. New people realize that they've been lost when they can't find it.”
When he heard this, the king said, “Keep looking for those people in the dark. When Assistant Minister Wu came with his men, have him send people to go door to door to investigate. Then, bring his men to look for people outside the county.”
“Ya.”
The bodyguard left after receiving the order.
Feng Ling had a troubling premonition that Feng Lan must have something to do with this. He thought for a moment about what Feng Lan's intentions were if he was really the one who captured these people.
But there is something else too. Feng Lan had been living in her residence obediently these past few days and had not come out at all. Even if this matter was related to Feng Lan, they could not find any evidence against her.
Thinking of this, Feng Ling said to the king, “Because they all disappeared at night, the county has ordered that the night market be canceled. I wonder if those people from the demon path will still be out tonight.”
The king thought about this too. He said, “The night market will continue as usual tonight. When the time comes, Assistant Minister Wu will send some people to disguise themselves as ordinary people.”
Feng Ling nodded. Looking at his extremely handsome face, he said, “I will help you disguise when the time comes. I guarantee no one will recognize you when you go out.”
Since it was a personal visit, they definitely could not let anyone recognize them.
Of course, the king agreed.
Throughout the afternoon, people were out to re-investigate twice to report.
Still nothing was found.
The afternoon ended quickly.
No rain in Green River County. The weather is not cold or hot this season, and it is a good time to go out and play.
Green River County is most famous for the rivers that flow through the county. On both sides of the river are the main road and also the main business area.
When Feng Ling came out, the king not only wanted her to make herself ugly, but he also wanted her to wear a gauze hat.
King says, “I'm more comfortable this way.”
When Feng Ling heard this, the corners of her lips involuntarily curved.
They both did not bring guards. Like an ordinary married couple, they walked into the night market.
The lights had just lit up, and ten thousand houses were lit up brightly. The main roads on both sides of the river were filled with glass lamps. There were flower boats on the river where people sang and danced, and the sound of peddling and playing on the beach formed a prosperous scene.
From this, it could be seen how well the king managed the Sky Phoenix Kingdom.
Feng Ling was actually rarely out in this space and time, especially in such a crowded place.
Fearing he was unfamiliar with this environment, the king continued to hold her hand and protect her by her side.
The custom of the Phoenix Sky Kingdom was still very open. When people saw the young couple coming out hand in hand, they would at most glance at them and say nothing about them ruining the custom.
On the road, Feng Ling was mesmerized by the surrounding scenery.
In fact, in the modern era, she rarely goes shopping, more stays in school. Even when she wanted to buy something, she was already used to shopping online.
Looking at those lanterns and snacks, Feng Ling had long forgotten that she was a priestess. From time to time, he tugged at the king's sleeves. “See, the flower lamp looks very beautiful. The clay statue is also good, it...”.
It had been a long time since the king had seen Feng Ling so happy like a child. His heart was filled with joy. She whispered in her ear, “Call me Brother Jingzhou and I will buy it for you.”
When Feng Ling heard this, she involuntarily blushed and closed her mouth.
It's embarrassing to call him that when so many people are around.
The king saw his expression and a glint flashed in his eyes. He added, “I heard that the most famous thing in Green River County is wine and lotus chips. Are you sure you don't want it?”
Feng Ling was still keeping her mouth shut. For her to call him like that in such a place, she somehow felt a little embarrassed. He thought that at most, he would not eat.
The King continued, “In addition to these two, Lotus Wine in Green River County is also outstanding.”
After saying that, the king pointed forward. “It looks like at the entrance of the alley in front. Did you see him? There are a lot of people waiting there. These people will all buy lotus wine. It is said that the store only sold 20 bottles a day when the night market began. Once sold, the store is closed for the day.”
Feng Ling looked at where the king was pointing and saw that there was indeed a queue there. The queue had already reached the entrance of the alley, and there were still people who continued to queue.
Other things were not too tempting for him, but when it came to wine, he immediately threw away his order. He pulled up the king's sleeve and exclaimed without principle, “Brother Jingzhou.”
Feng Ling's voice was originally pleasant to hear. Now that he called her this, her voice was sweet and instantly entered the heart of the king.
He tightened his grip on his hand and stepped.
When the two of them left, there were already more than ten people queuing up in front. Feng Ling was a little anxious. “Can't we buy wine?”
The king held his hand and stopped outside the crowd.
“Not needed. Someone is queuing on our behalf.”
After the king finished speaking, two men dressed as ordinary people walked out of the alley with each bottle of wine.
The two of them came to the side of the king and Feng Ling. One of them respectfully handed the wine in his hand to the king.
The wine bottle was not big. That's probably 500 grams per bottle.
The king took it and handed it to Feng Ling. “Do you want to try it? If it's good, I'll ask someone to buy again.”
“I want.”
Feng Ling took the bottle, opened the lid, and immediately took a sip.
The scent of lotus flowers mixed with the scent of wine entered his throat. It was refreshing, sweet, and unforgettable.
After Feng Ling took a sip, her eyes twinkled. He said, “This wine is as delicious as the Hundred Flowers Wine.”
When the king heard this, he said to the two of them, “Think of a way to invite the brewer back.”
“Ya, Young Master.”
The king handed a bottle of wine in Feng Ling's hand to the man and said, “Send the wine to our page.”
The two left after agreeing.
Feng Ling wanted to continue, but this was indeed not the time to drink. He's holding.
They both continued shopping. Furthermore, whenever Feng Ling saw something she liked, she would pull the king's sleeve and say, “Brother Jingzhou, I want that ... Brother Jingzhou, I want this ..”
Feeling over the moon, the king would buy everything he wanted.
Along the way, the two of them started shopping.
They were like any other couple on the street, attracting no one's attention.
The night market ends at 9 p.m. At this moment, everyone who was shopping at the night market walked towards their homes. The merchants also crowded their shops and stalls, preparing to go home.
Feng Ling and the king walked along the crowd towards the road.
After shopping at the night market for so long, some people would definitely be alone when they returned.
Especially after exiting the main road, many places are in the form of dark alleys and paths that are not bright.
Outside West Street, while walking, a man suddenly wants to pee. He told his friend and went to the back of a nearby tree.
That person had just opened his belt when a ball of black aura wrapped around his body and mouth in darkness. That person only had time to let out a startled cry before he was knocked out by the black aura and dragged into the darkness.
It happened more than ten times at the same time.
The black aura carried these people into a cave that was deeply hidden in the mountains outside the county.
The cave was dark, and only the occasional sound of water droplets could be heard. The people who had been eliminated were still in the darkness, not making a sound.
At this moment, an ear-piercing voice sounded. “Bos, we've brought back twelve people tonight. Please check.”
After a while, a gloomy voice sounded. “Not bad. The prey this time is more energetic than the prey of the last few days. He'll love it. Ha ha ha..”
“Ga ga... Boss, when do we send this prey to him?”
“There are 49 of them. Send them tonight.”
“Ga ga ga.. Boss, when the demon power of that person reaches the eighth level, he can instantly kill their High Priestess and be used by our king.”
“Wrong! Don't underestimate the ability of the chosen princess. That person should at least cultivate to the ninth level of demon arts.”
“But His Majesty has only reached the ninth level. If that fellow managed to reach the ninth level, would he be a threat to His Majesty?”
“Konyol. Whether he can be a threat to the king or not is not something we can control. When the time comes, we will follow whoever is stronger.”
“Shining. Boss, your idea was brilliant.”
“Ha ha ha..”
“Ga ga..”
dong!
Boss screaming, “What sound is it?”
The sharp voice was dumbfounded. “No sound.”
The crack!
Pa!
“Ouch! Boss, why did you hit me? ”
“Why I hit you for no reason!”
Pa!
“Are you looking for death? How dare you hit me!”
“I'm not ~”
“Then who is it?”
