After the two returned to the inn, Lin Manliu leaned against the half-open window and looked out the window, while Ning Ke fell down on the couch, as if he was resting.
"According to what those few people said in their chat, someone in the Fengxue Grand View Tower did it on purpose. They deliberately squatted at the post station waiting for the caravan members to appear, and then killed them..." Ning Ke said, and at the same time he said He took off the hairpin on his head and played with it in his hand.
"It is true that they have the same temperament as the disciples of Fengxue Grand View Tower. They rely on this place as their territory and do not care about the opinions of others at all, so they can act like this!" Lin Man Liuyi thought that it was indeed the people from Fengxue Grand View Tower who led the three caravans. To kill, he made a fist with one hand and hammered it directly on the window edge.
"What are your plans next?" Ning Ke raised the hairpin in his hand and stared at his own hairpin and continued to speak.
"It's better to go check around the inn in the next few days. It would be best if we could meet some disciples from Fengxue Grand View Tower. If possible..." Lin Manliu said in response.
"Whoosh——" A sound broke through the air behind Lin Manliu, followed by something nailed into the wall.
The young man immediately turned around and saw a hairpin nailed to the wall opposite the couch. At this time, Ning Ke had already sat up, tilted his head and looked at the young man in a short shirt beside the window, with a look on his face. Some evil smiles.
Before the young man could ask for the reason, he heard Ning Ke say in her original voice: "Imitate their methods, interrogate and threaten them? Finally, silence them and retaliate against them?"
"...Brother Ning, please don't try me again. You have revealed most of your thoughts along the way. If it is related to the lives of the three of you, you need to balance it with your life. If it has nothing to do with this matter, you will naturally not be aware of it after the matter is over." If you continue to embarrass them," Lin Manliu sighed.
"But if you act like this, you will offend Fengxue Grand View Tower no matter what. You will only leave hidden dangers in the future. Don't you think about it?" Ning Ke shook his head and stood up to get his hairpin.
"Those who deserve their lives must pay with their lives, and innocent people can be trapped in it again..." Lin Manliu said after a moment of silence.
This sentence is not meant for himself. The whole reason was that when the caravan passed through Yuezhou, he and Yue Hanzhi took action to kill the two Fengxue Grand View Tower disciples who wanted to harm them. They were originally with the other caravan members. It has nothing to do with people, and in the end, three people died innocently.
"That's it, rest early..." After Ning Ke got her hairpin, she turned and walked towards the couch.
The boy in a short shirt hummed, picked up a chair from the table and walked towards the corner of the house. After sitting down in the corner, Lin Manliu closed his eyes and rested.
After the two of them walked out of Juzhou together with Zhujianfeng, they seemed to have formed such a way of resting subtly. In the first half of the night, Lin Manliu stayed vigil. In the second half of the night, the two of them switched places, and Lin Manliu went to rest. Ning Ke came to watch the night.
...But in the following days, the two went to Duhe Station at different times to search for news related to Fengxue Grand View Tower, but they found nothing. They even secretly discussed some of Fengxue Grand View Tower's behavior. It no longer exists, just like the news the two of them heard on the first day disappeared.
Only the disciples of the Fengxue Grand View Tower still patrolled alternately according to the original inspection route. However, the small town where the crossing station is located may have an extremely large number of people coming and going because it is approaching August. No matter how lonely the street is, You can always see one or two vendors or people visiting the alley, leaving Lin Manliu and Ning Ke at a loss what to do.
The two of them stayed in this small town until July 20th. A news came all the way from Southern Xinjiang to the border of Yuezhou. Yijian Villa defeated the Tu Evil Sect in Southern Xinjiang and occupied the hiding place of the Tu Evil Sect. ——Snake Valley!
Along with this news, there is also news about the Heaven and Earth Alliance. The Heaven and Earth Alliance, which has been stationed in the dense forest of Qianzhou, is preparing to break camp and go to chase the Tue Evil Sect who may be in southern Xinjiang. It is also reported that the Heaven and Earth Alliance is currently The leader of the army, the sect master of Wenjian Lake - Ming Xi's oral instructions: vow to prevent the Tue Evil Sect from joining together and get rid of this pest that is poisoning the martial arts world!
After this series of news came, Lin Manliu and Ning Ke, who were still in the inn, couldn't help but start to think deeply. It stands to reason that when they went out, they informed Zhu Jianfeng of the possible movements of the Slaughter Evil Sect. Mr. Mo stopped them. Li Junce's method of making things difficult for Lin Manliu should also reveal his movements. Why is the Tiandi Alliance so unaware of the current incident in southern Xinjiang... Lin Manliu sat at the table and looked at the tea in his bowl and murmured He murmured, "Could it be that Li Junce was jealous of other sects, or was jealous of Mingxi, and deliberately didn't tell the truth?"
Ning Ke was still lying leisurely on the couch. Hearing the young man's doubtful words, Ning Ke responded and said: "There is such a possibility, but if someone does it deliberately, he doesn't want to catch up with the Tu evil sect as soon as possible and wait for the snipe and the clam. After fighting, sit back and enjoy the results?"
"One is going down and the other is going up. What good will this do to those people? If the Heaven and Earth Alliance has ruined the family fortunes of this united family, how can they still fight against the evil-slaughtering sect hidden in the dark..." Short Listening to Ning Ke's tone and words, the young man in shirt began to look worried.
"These things are not something you and I need to worry about. Besides, the master uncle and your village owner will naturally make arrangements for the affairs of Yijian Villa. It is business to settle matters here as soon as possible." Ning Ke sighed casually and said .
"Well, if we still get no results today, we will find a way to arrest someone for questioning!" Lin Manliu nodded and said.
After about an hour of burning incense, the two young men in short shirts walked out of the inn. The young man had spotted a disciple of Fengxue Grand View Tower on the street who had just walked out of the ferry from the window sill and was preparing to inspect the town. If there is no harvest in the inn, we can only wait for this person to exchange places with others and capture him.
Lin Manliu and Ning Ke followed the figure of the man in gray robe holding a sword and walked to the river crossing station together. Today, the river crossing station was still as crowded as usual, and there were more drunken poets on the wine table than usual. The handsome scholar held a pot of pure wine by his side, stepped on the seat and bench beside him, and began to sing loudly about the talents in his chest and belly.
"The water of Minghu Lake...comes when the autumn moon rises, and the lonely boat floats...by the high-rise building!" The scholar in the crowd was obviously drunk, and Lin Manliu, who had just arrived from the previous words , Ning Ke naturally couldn't hear it.
"What a poem! What a poem!!!" The people around me don't care whether the poem is correct or not. It's just a poem written when drunk. They just cheer.
Ning Ke looked at this scene and shook his head and walked towards an empty wine table. Lin Manliu also followed suit, but before the two of them could sit down, the main entrance of the Crossing Station suddenly seemed a little panicked, and some people were pushed directly to it. On both sides, an open space was moved for the main entrance.
The two people who heard the sound squinted at the main entrance of the river crossing station. Before they saw anyone entering, a voice came from outside the door: "I wonder what kind of tall building this brother mentioned?" Listening to this tone, the person speaking must be extremely confident or arrogant.
The drunk scholar didn't seem to understand what was going on at this time. Hearing that someone wanted to discuss his proud work with him, he coughed twice as if to moisten his throat, looked up and looked outside the door in the direction of the sound source. .
"Among the scenic spots in Yuezhou, if there is any taller building, it is naturally the Lakeside Wind and Snow Grand View Tower!" Scholar Lang's voice was a bit better than before when he recited poems. After all, in his opinion, among such poems, , the deliberation and asking for advice between the words were naturally accompanied by some arguments and discussions between the two of them. I was able to be defeated in the current situation!
There was no immediate response to the words outside the door. What came was just a series of extremely long and slow clapping sounds. This kind of clapping method can be tasted by anyone. It is not a compliment to the scholar, but even contains disdain and ridicule. .
The most proud drunken scholar in the inn could not understand the meaning of this. His drunken face immediately changed to an angry look. With that drunkenness, he scolded the door: "If you don't like it! You can't do it!" I also speak out the poems in my heart like my words, who can’t see such ridicule, and who can bear it!”
A response finally came from outside the door: "It's a pity that we, martial arts practitioners, are not good at using rhetoric. Brother, since it is me, Fengxue Grand View Tower, who is speaking, do you want to ask for advice from you?".
As soon as he finished speaking, a man in gray robe walked into the river crossing station. Different from the usual Fengxue Grand View Tower disciples, he did not hold a sword, but was followed by a person holding a sword for him?
The drunken scholar's drunkenness was reduced by more than half in an instant. He also heard clearly the meaning of the man's words. He immediately retracted the foot that had been stepping on the stool, put the pot of wine he had raised boldly back on the table, and then timidly He looked at the Fengxue Grand View Tower disciple who walked in through the door.
Someone in the station immediately reminded him,
"It's the third disciple of the owner of Fengxue Grand View Tower—Xu Yingfang." This identity made Lin Manliu and Ning Ke look at each other involuntarily. During these few days of squatting, they actually met Liu Mei's direct disciple. The boy in short shirt secretly thought, this person is Qi Xuan's third senior brother?
"It was my rash words earlier... that violated the name of Fengxue Grand View Tower. I want to apologize to the hero, to apologize to the hero..." The scholar swept away his previous lofty sentiments and bowed to Xu Yingfang with both hands. , want to seek the other party’s understanding.
But Xu Yingfang actually started pacing around: "Some disciples sent a message to the building earlier, saying that the crossing of the river station has been uneasy recently. I thought it was just a joke, but I didn't expect that you are really talking nonsense after drinking. .....".
Scholar Lang couldn't help but shudder when he heard this, and immediately explained: "It's all drunk talk... That high-rise building is not... the noble... Fengxue Grand View Tower...".
As soon as he finished speaking, Scholar Lang realized that something was still wrong. Just as he was about to change his words, Xu Yingfang interrupted him: "Then there are any tall buildings in Yuezhou or the entire Southland!".
The sound of words filled the entire hall of the crossing station. Everyone was attracted by Xu Yingfang's momentum and looked at the scholar whose legs were trembling now, and Xu Yingfang who had his hands behind his back.
Under such power, Scholar Lang could no longer hold on and began to bend his legs uncontrollably towards the ground... Ning Ke looked at this scene and murmured in his heart, should the character and integrity of a scholar be compromised for this? ..
