Chapter 87 Green Silk Horse

I have to say, You Sisi was surprisingly easy to talk to in some respects.

Fang Yue pondered for a moment, feeling there were no issues.

After all, Ning the Elder was just a bracelet maker. The key to finding out who kidnapped Lord Han and Lin Ling was who the bracelet was eventually sold to and who it ended up in the hands of.

"Okay, have a Green Silk Horse prepared for me first."

With the speed of the Green Silk Horse, according to You Sisi, a round trip between Qing Si County and Ningguang Mountain wouldn't even take a day.

"Well, but don't be anxious. I'll check the other material sources of the glowing bracelet and the information of the buyers here, and I'll give it to you for reference later. By the way… do you really not need me to go with you?"

"No need, you've helped enough."

You Sisi was a Qing Yi. With the Qingluan Tower case having just occurred in Qing Si County, Qing Yi needed to stay and stabilize the people's hearts.

Moreover, according to You Sisi, Ning the Elder was just a [Strange Object Blacksmith] and not dangerous at all, just a craftsman and businessman.

He would just go ask a question, find the real culprit, and rescue Lord Han and Lin Ling.

"Alright then, be careful."

After You Sisi had someone bring a Green Silk Horse to Fang Yue, she went to busy herself with her own affairs.

Unlike outsiders like Captain Wu, applying for a Green Silk Horse, even with Qing Yi's permission, required going through procedures and making records. The whole process would take at least a day to get a Green Silk Horse.

People like Fang Yue, internal personnel, could get a horse whenever they needed one!

Having a horse was easy, they could use the horse first and fill out the paperwork later, no problem at all.

So, having a horse was the key!

It was said that in special circumstances, internal procedures could be completely omitted, simplified to the point of being negligible, and even not require Qing Yi's signature.

This was the hidden benefit and advantage of being an insider.

The Green Silk Horse wasn't much different in size from an ordinary horse, and even looked a bit smaller.

It was just that the patterns on the horse's body were like strands of green silk, willow silk, green and lush, so calling it Green Horse didn't seem like a problem either.

Mounting the Green Silk Horse, Fang Yue went straight back to the inn.

The Green Silk Horse was indeed a Green Silk Horse. Once it started moving, the silky smooth feeling almost made Fang Yue think he was in a million-dollar convertible, driving at hundreds of miles per hour.

The wind pressure whooshed, blowing his long black hair wildly.

Along the way, if his driving skills weren't up to par, he would have crashed into several pedestrians.

Amidst the simple and honest greetings of people who didn't know whether to call him ‘horse’ or ‘Ma', Fang Yue slowed down and quickly returned to the inn.

From afar, he saw Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu sitting on a small stool outside the inn, boredly dragging her chin.

It wasn't until she saw Fang Yue return that her eyes lit up.

"What a green horse!"

Fang Yue: ???

If you can't speak, then don't!

"Night bro, Night bro, is this the legendary Green Silk Horse? I want to ride it too! I want to sit behind you!"

Looking at Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu hobbling over, Fang Yue expressionlessly pulled her onto the horse's back, waiting for Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu to wrap her arms around Fang Yue's waist.

Fang Yue then steered the horse into the inn's courtyard. Captain Wu, who was standing against the wall with his arms crossed, trying to look cool, was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted and excitedly greeted him.

"Captain Night, where did you get this horse?"

"Borrowed it from You Sisi."

"Then where's my horse?"

"Still at the Qing Si, the procedure is stuck. Don't panic, you'll be a horse owner this afternoon!"

"Finally getting a horse!"

Captain Wu was secretly excited, but he didn't notice that Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu, who was sitting on the horse behind Fang Yue, was looking at the two of them with a very, very strange look.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

She couldn't help but applaud.

"As expected of the cruel martial world of swords and shadows, only with a horse can one venture! What a heart-to-heart scene, congratulations to the two strong men who have horses!"

Fang Yue: ???

This guy… seems to be implying something.

Fang Yue glanced at Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu behind him.

"Well said, the martial world is so cruel. So, do you have a horse?"

Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu's breathing stagnated, and then she lowered her head and scurried off the horse's back.

"I, I don't have a horse… Wuwuwu, I don't have a horse…"

"I'm not worthy to be on horseback, only under the hooves…"

"The sky is so dark, the ground is so cold, Night bro, so love will disappear, right?"

Fang Yue's face darkened.

"If you lie on the ground again, I'll let the horse hoof step on your dog's head."

Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu immediately got up nimbly, and said with a grin, "Night bro, just kidding, don't scare me."

Fang Yue ignored her and asked Captain Wu about the investigation into Lin Ling's whereabouts.

"There's been a little progress… Someone saw a woman tailing and stalking Captain Lin for a while, then went up to chat with Captain Lin, and finally they left together."

Fang Yue was overjoyed: "Can you find the woman's whereabouts?"

Captain Wu shook his head: "Can't find her, she disappeared as if out of thin air. In Qing Si County, there's no trace of her. If the Qing Si were to conduct a full-scale investigation, maybe…"

"The Qing Si can't spare any manpower for the time being."

Fang Yue rubbed his temples in frustration.

"All their energy is being drawn into the case of the possessed by the Strange. At most, they can only spare some people to help us find people. A large-scale investigation is definitely not realistic.

"Like this, you guys continue to investigate. Some information will be sent from the Qing Si later, which You Sisi used the glowing bracelet as an entry point to find out the sales records of those shops that purchased the materials. Then you can start from these shops to see if they have any problems."

Captain Wu frowned: "What about you?"

"I'm going to Ningguang Mountain to visit Ning the Elder, who made this Ningguang bracelet. I want to see who he sold the bracelet to in the end. If all goes well, I can lock onto the target in one fell swoop and rescue Lord Han and Lin Ling."

Upon hearing this, Captain Wu vaguely felt that Fang Yue's move was inappropriate, but he couldn't say what was wrong, he just said: "The wilderness is dangerous, I'll go with you, or you can bring some companions."

"There aren't enough horses."

Fang Yue spread his hands: "Don't worry, You Sisi said that the Green Silk Horse only needs less than a day for a round trip."

"That's right, Night bro's horse is a Green Horse! I heard people say that as long as the Green Silk Horse runs fast enough, the Strange will not be able to catch up with me. Night bro is acting alone, if he encounters the Strange, with the Green Horse, it's convenient to escape, so there's no need to worry."

Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu also seconded at this time.

Seeing this, Captain Wu no longer insisted.

If his Green Silk Horse also arrived, then he could discuss whether or not to go out with Fang Yue.

After saying hello and giving some instructions, Fang Yue hurriedly left Qing Si County on horseback and headed for Ningguang Mountain.
