Ling Yun made an appointment with Du Zhenghai to meet outside the city.
Du Zhenghai asked: "What do you want from me?"
Ling Yun said: "Help me find someone."
Du Zhenghai's eyes were full of inquiry, "Oh? Who is it?..."
Ling Yun said word by word: "Wu Chun Xin."
Du Zhenghai's expression suddenly changed and he murmured: "How could it be her?..."
Wu Chunxin, the woman who once claimed to love him deeply, but eventually betrayed him to save herself, he originally thought he had forgotten her.
Now Ling Yun brought up the old things again. When he talked about her again, for some reason, Du Zhenghai's heart still tightened and he felt that his chest was so tight that he could hardly breathe.
Ling Yun glanced at him with half-smiling eyes, and said with a somewhat narrow tone: "What's wrong, Brother Du, are you still forgetting your old lover? I really didn't see it. Brother Du has a cold face and a warm heart. He turns out to be a Love!"
Du Zhenghai glared at him fiercely, with a hint of disdain in the curve of his mouth, "Tsk, laugh at fifty steps and laugh at a hundred steps, so don't cover your scars and talk about other people's pain! - In these aspects, are you, Brother Ling, any better than me?"
Ling Yun didn't care about his sarcasm. He frowned and said, "Brother Du has such a powerful mouth. He is so unreasonable and unforgiving. He won't suffer any loss at all!"
"Both each other." Du Zhenghai rolled his eyes at him and snorted coldly: "Let's stop talking - after all, what do you want from me?"
Ling Yun had just deliberately made a joke, just to ease the somewhat depressed and cold atmosphere between them. At this time, Du Zhenghai asked this question, and he didn't say anything else. He went straight to the point and briefly recounted what happened yesterday. :
He Chengqi, the young master of Houye Mansion, was kidnapped by Tian Xiao's people. He searched for clues everywhere, and finally targeted Wu Chunxin, etc...
Complex emotions flashed through Du Zhenghai's eyes, "Are you sure that the woman in white who kidnapped the young master of the Marquis's residence is Wu Chunxin?"
Ling Yun said: "I'm not sure, so I asked Brother Du for help."
Du Zhenghai said: "How do you know I can help?"
Ling Yun said: "I also know that you have been paying attention to this woman during this period. Although you cannot know her whereabouts in detail, you still have a rough idea!"
Du Zhenghai's usually peaceful expression seemed to have a hint of touch and relief, and his eyes became complex and subtle. He was silent for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "The one who gave birth to me is my parents; the one who knows me is Brother Ling." also."
Ling Yun's deep eyes flashed, "If I don't know this matter clearly, then I don't know my friends very well!"
Du Zhenghai sighed softly, "Do you know the reason why I have been following and investigating Wu Chunxin during this period?"
Ling Yun pursed her thin lips meaningfully, "This is your privacy. I don't think it's convenient for me to ask."
Du Zhenghai said: "You mean, I still can't let go of the relationship I had a few years ago?"
Ling Yun smiled noncommittally and said nothing.
Du Zhenghai said: "Maybe this is one of the reasons; but the main reason is because she has done too despicable things over the years, which is really intolerable."
Ling Yun gave a low and ambiguous smile, "There are many people who do despicable things in this world, can you kill them all?"
The muscles on Du Zhenghai's face twitched involuntarily. A pair of shining eyes stared at him with a hint of anger. He lowered his voice and said, "Ling, you really can't boil the pot." Which pot are you talking about - can't you show mercy and say a few words less?..."
Ling Yun couldn't help but smile and said: "Yes, yes, I am too talkative. Please don't blame me, Brother Du - Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, let's talk about business first."...
The trivial matters are skipped and the book is kept brief.
In the blink of an eye, it was midnight the next morning.
He Yuting took the housekeeper He Luwei and dozens of smart and capable guards to the Zuixianju Restaurant ten miles outside the city as promised.
The mountains are far and near, the roads are sloping, and there are people selling wine in Qingqi.
This is a country hotel with simple facilities. There were two young men in the room, dressed in Tsing Yi. Seeing He Yuting and others approaching, they hurriedly stepped forward to greet them: "Sir, please come in."
He Yuting said: "My surname is He, and I am a guest reserved by your master."
The two of them were not surprised when they heard this, and seemed to have been prepared for it.
They looked at each other with burning eyes and nodded knowingly; one of them smiled and said: "It turns out that Mr. He is here. My master has been waiting for you for a long time. Please come with me."
Everyone followed the two people into the hotel, and after twists and turns, they arrived at a remote guest room.
However, I saw that the furnishings in the room were simple, with an Eight Immortals table in the middle, and a masked woman dressed in white and dressed as a Taoist nun sitting in the master's seat. Next to her, four sturdy men in Tsing Yi attire stood breathlessly behind the Taoist nun in white; all of them were in their hands. He raised his sword with a sinister look in his eyes.
The room was enveloped in a solemn and desolate atmosphere.
Seeing He Yuting and others coming in, the white-clothed Taoist nun stood up and cupped her hands and said, "Master He is here. I'm sorry for not being far away to welcome you! Master He, please take a seat."
He Yuting was not polite, snorted coldly and sat down.
The Taoist nun in white said slowly and calmly: "I am a poor Taoist. I take the liberty of inviting Mr. He to come. I apologize for any rudeness."
"Empty color?" He Yuting frowned slightly, seeming to ponder.
He Luwei whispered in his ear: "The third sister of the Tianxiao organization."
He Yuting's heart sank and he said with a sullen face: "What do you want, please tell me directly!"
Kongse smiled, "Master He is really quick to talk, so I won't be wordy for such a poor person. But can I please lend a moment to Master He to speak?"
He Yuting's expression softened slightly, and he waved his hands to the left and right, asking the accompanying guards to exit the door first; Kong Se also retreated to the left and right.
There were only three people in the room, He Yuting, Kong Se, and He Lu.
He Yuting said coldly: "Tell me, where is my grandson? How can you let him go?"
Kongse smiled and said: "Master He is too impatient. Your grandson is unscathed now. Just rest assured, Master He. As long as Master He can agree to cooperate with us sincerely, you can see your grandson immediately."
"And Pindao can also guarantee that you will take him back to your home unscathed and reunite with his family safely - what do you think, Mr. He?"
He Yuting was stunned for a moment, "Cooperating with you? Tianxiao Organization?..."
Kongse said softly: "Yes, our gang leader Li has admired Mr. He for a long time, and has long regretted not being able to work together. Isn't today's appointment not God's will?"
He Yuting's expression suddenly changed, "Your gang leader, Li Ruiyun?..."
Kongse said: "It is Gang Leader Li. Gang Leader Li is young and promising, kind and wise; and speaking of which, Gang Leader Li once had a deep relationship with Mr. He!"
He Yuting's eyes trembled violently, and the unbearable scenes from a few years ago came to mind again.
When his son was three years old, he was taken away by his wet nurse, Gemini...Twenty years later, the so-called eldest son of the Houye Mansion recognized his ancestor and returned to the clan...On their wedding night, the eldest son of the Houye Mansion was assassinated and died...Geshi came here full of resentment. Complaint in the lobby of the Ministry of Justice... It turns out that the so-called eldest son of the Marquis Mansion is actually a fake...
And that fake eldest son of Lord Hou is the current Tianxiao gang leader Li Ruiyun.
At this time, Taoist Sister Kongse was talking about the past. He Yuting felt mixed emotions in his heart. Unprecedented sadness and anger were entangled in his heart. His chest was so tight that his voice became hoarse. "You are all under his instructions for this action." What?"
Kongse said leisurely: "Master He is indeed a master, he is really thoughtful! But I don't know what Mr. He has to say about sincere cooperation with me, Tianxiao?"
He Yuting's face was livid, his eyes were sharp, and the words he spat out from his thin lips were as cold as ice, "The Tianxiao organization has brought disaster to the country and the people, and people and gods are angry. You actually want me to cooperate with you. It's just a fantasy!"
Kong Se was not angry, and said calmly: "Master He, it is too early to draw this conclusion. Do you not even care about the life of your grandson?"
When He Tianci was mentioned, He Yuting's expression froze for a moment.
Kongse said again: "I will give Mr. He three days. Making such an important decision always requires careful consideration, right? Mr. He, your grandson's life and the inheritance of the Marquis's bloodline all depend on it. You just had a thought - come and see the guests off!"
He Yuting's mood at this time was extremely contradictory. On the one hand, his grandson's life was at stake; on the other hand, he surrendered to the enemy and rebelled against the emperor, which was treason - it was really difficult to choose between the two dilemmas.
At this time, when he heard Kongse say "see the guests off", he had no choice but to stand up in a daze, and walked towards the door with the housekeeper He Luwei.
When he went out, he bumped into two Tianxiao disciples.
The master and servant He Yuting walked out without stopping.
At this time, the two disciples in green clothes had walked up to Taoist Sister Kongse, and whispered a few words in her ears.
Kong Se's expression immediately changed. With a ferocious look on her face, she stood up and shouted: "Who's coming, chase him quickly! Don't let He Yuting get away!..."
However, Ling Yun and Du Zhenghai finally found Wu Chunxin's hiding place by following the clues and clues they found.
At this time, Wu Chunxin and more than a dozen Tianxiao disciples were kidnapping He Tianci, the young master of the Hou Ye Mansion, and hiding in a remote residence ten miles away from Zuixianju.
Wu Chunxin was hiding in the room while holding the young master who had his acupoints tapped. Suddenly he heard an unusual movement outside and immediately realized that something was wrong. He hurriedly took the sword and rushed out of the room. He was fighting with Ling Yun and Du Zhenghai who had barged in fiercely. Hit the front.
Wu Chunxin's face turned pale and she said, "Is it you?..."
Du Zhenghai stared coldly at the woman in front of him, and suddenly smiled; the smile did not reach his eyes, which made people's hearts go cold, "You are nowhere to be found in the world - Wu Chunxin, you didn't expect that we finally meet again." Already!..."
