Several long lines were formed at the gate of Yangdu City, moving inside little by little. The guards at the gate of the city checked the flow of people one by one against a portrait. After queuing for a while, it was finally Wufan's turn. .
When passing by the guard, Wu Fan glanced back at the portrait and found that it was an unfamiliar face, but the pupil of the person in the painting was quite strange. It was a vertical line like a snake, and then this big vertical line There were two black spots on the left and right sides of the line. Wu Fan was fascinated by the sight and couldn't help but slow down. "What are you doing in front of you! Take a few steps quickly, we are still waiting to enter the city!" He heard someone behind him. In a hurry, Wu Fan quickly turned around and followed the large army into the city.
If the terrain of Canggao City is steep and spectacular, then Yangdu City is magnificent and majestic. The roads extend in all directions and the buildings along the way are splendid. It is dozens of times larger than Canggao City in terms of area and popularity. It is worthy of being the largest in the East. Imperial City. There was a lot of traffic and a lot of people. People in all kinds of strange clothes could be seen along the way. There were curly-haired women with blond hair, blue eyes and white skin, tall men with gray hair, brown eyes and high noses, and even occasionally short creatures with green skin and pointed ears. Wu Fan was eye-opening.
Although it was still early in the day, everyone had to find a place to rest first before making plans. However, Yangdu City was so big that Wufan was dazzled along the way and couldn't find a suitable place, so he just wandered around on the road. At this time, everyone They were hungry and empty when they saw an antique restaurant not far away.
Because the Yuhu Sect has made some progress this time, Wu Fan has enough money to spend, and Miss Shi next to him is also a boss who is not short of money, so the two of them met their eyes and happily decided to go here. It just so happens that it's not lunch time and there aren't many people around, so it's quite peaceful.
As soon as the waiters in the restaurant saw the visitors, they hurriedly brought them into the house. They didn't show any contempt for them because of their age or simple clothes. They seemed quite graceful, but it was expected that no one would dare to eat Bawang in the Imperial City. The waiter passed the meal with his left hand, gave them a list for them to look at slowly, greeted the guests, and then went to work in the kitchen.
After a long time, three people came into the restaurant. The first one was a man with a mask and a black gauze dress. He held a folding fan in his right hand and tapped the palm of his left hand. The two people behind him were strong and strong. One is like a tiger, while the other is as thin and weak as a monkey with dull eyes. "You three gentlemen, where do you want to sit today?" "You can sit wherever you like...we're just here to wait for someone." "Okay, you guys, please come over here." After that, they were brought to the opposite side of Wu Fan and the others. table.
Wu Fan had almost finished eating at this time, and happened to overhear their conversation. From the man's voice, he felt that the man was also very young, but he didn't know why he covered his face. Seeing the waiter coming over, he stopped guessing and handed the order he hadn't taken away to the waiter. Then the waiter took the menu with his left hand and went to the kitchen.
While they were waiting, they saw several masked men appear strangely in front of the masked man's table, chatting in low voices, and then saw the masked young man making a sound with a snort. With the gesture of please, those people disappeared silently. "It's really unreasonable. A bereaved dog still dares to negotiate terms..." Seeing this man's excitement, the waiter walked over with a smile, slowly pouring water from the kettle in his right hand, "My guest, please calm down and have a cup of tea to calm down. Order something?”
The man took the tea cup and frowned: "I told you not to eat, forget about the fat tiger and the thin monkey, let's go." After speaking, he stood up, raised the cup, reached into the mask, and drank it all in one gulp. , just then there was a sound of "Be careful!", and then a chopstick swung into the hand of the masked man holding the cup.
As soon as the man was in pain, the cup in his hand fell to the ground with a bang. The fat tiger and the thin monkey's expression changed, and they turned around and attacked Wu Fan, who was throwing the chopsticks with hidden weapons. Wu Fan had no time to dodge and was caught. The Jade Hu Sect and Jian Xing Ju disciples at his table looked puzzled as to why they suddenly started fighting while eating.
Just when the fat tiger and thin monkey were about to force Wu Fan to confess, he heard the masked man shout: "Who are you?" The fat tiger and thin monkey looked back and saw the wooden fence where the cup of tea had just been spilled. It was so hot that it was foaming. The guy took out a dagger and stared at him with a gloomy face, "What's the use of a dead person knowing my name?" Then he stabbed the masked man with the dagger.
The fat tiger and thin monkey felt bad, and hurriedly tried to stop the assassin's movements. However, before the assassin could reach the masked man, he only heard the "Earth Jue" and was restrained by the soil on the ground and fell to the ground. , a great opportunity was lost. Then Fat Tiger and Thin Monkey quickly took the opportunity to control him. The assassin turned his head and stared at Wu Fan fiercely, "I didn't expect that I killed countless people, but I overturned the car with this little brat. I'm really unwilling to accept it."
"Stop talking nonsense, who are you? Who sent you here?" Just as Fat Tiger and Thin Monkey were asking, the guy's mouth moved and his life disappeared, and then a human face mask slowly appeared on his face. slide.
"Third... Young Master, are you okay? This subordinate should be damned for not being well protected." "Oh, that's all. I was also angry for a moment and was careless. Fortunately, this little brother came to my aid and I dared to ask him his name. "Wufan saw that this man was asking him polite questions, and he quickly replied: "I am Wufan, a disciple of the Yuhu Sect."
"The Yuhu Sect? The Yuhu Sect has such a clever person, and it seems that it is about to rise again. By the way, my name is...Luo Yang, how did Brother Wufan find out that there is something wrong with this person?"
"Before, he handed us the list and took it back with his left hand. He should be left-handed, but when he came out of the kitchen, he switched to his right hand. But this may be just a coincidence, but there is also the one you came just now. Shi clearly said to sit down for a while and leave, but he just asked you what to eat, so it felt very strange." Wu Fan thought for a moment and whispered, "And after he poured the tea later, he didn't look at the guests. But he was staring at the cup tightly, so I think this person must have been poisoned."
Although Wu Fan said this on the surface, he actually smelled a faint smell in the air. This smell was somewhat similar to the Gu insect when he fought against the skeleton that day. However, it was difficult to expose this kind of thing, so he pretended to Reasoning, explaining the reasons for things.
"Don't stop shouting, you look too lively. If you call me Brother Luo, I will protect you from walking around in Yangdu City!" Luo Yang's arrogant attitude made Wu Fan and the others laugh. Laughing, "Brother Luo, I really have something to ask for now. We are here to participate in the Gumen election this time, but we really can't find a place to live..." "Is this a problem? Shouhou, please take someone to move my yard on No. 3 Street. Clean up and treat my brother well, Fat Hu and I will go back and report the situation to my father."
The thin monkey nodded, motioned for the group of people to follow, and was about to leave. "Brother Luo, I haven't paid the bill yet..." "It's my fault. You guys can go first." "Thanks..." "Let's go and be polite to me again. Don't blame me for falling out with you!" Wu Fan looked embarrassed. , led a group of people and quickly left with Shouhou.
"Third Young Master, that guy's body was hidden in the warehouse. He must have been dead not long ago. The identity of this assassin still needs to be investigated in detail." "Huh, this is getting more and more presumptuous, although I can feel who it is. , but you can't talk nonsense without evidence. When you get back, help me secretly find someone to investigate." "Yes!" "By the way, don't make this matter public, give this guy a good burial later, and give his family a good place. "
After saying that, he took Fat Tiger with him and walked out of the restaurant one after another. Then a few ordinary people in linen clothes came to the restaurant and left after a while with something, but there seemed to be nothing in the restaurant. Just like what happened, we are still making a living as usual.
Wu Fan and his party were looking at the courtyard in front of them with big mouths. It was more like a pavilion than a courtyard. The surrounding scenery was beautiful and very quiet. Although the next street was the downtown area, there were few people walking around here. . "We're here. Please feel sorry for yourself and live here. Since no one has lived there for a long time, I'll find someone to clean it later. You can go out for a walk if you have nothing to do. I will arrange for someone to deliver meals to you on time." After saying this, Shouhou said With a whoosh, he jumped onto the eaves and disappeared.
Wu Fan and his party walked into the courtyard along the main entrance. They saw the garden with rockeries, small bridges and flowing water. There was a small pavilion in the center connected to the corridors between the houses. They discussed it and divided their troops into three groups. Went back to the house.
In the past few days, because they didn't have to worry about food and accommodation, everyone was having a leisurely time. They could go shopping around to relieve their nervousness. Shi Yurou was also clamoring for Wu Fan to take her out shopping every day. Although Fang Wei still had a grudge against Wu Fan, after all, he saved his life and did not behave too much. He just secretly followed Wu Fan and the two of them every day. Although Shi Yurou was used to it, Wu Fan couldn't stand Fang Wei. Compared with the tranquility and tranquility of everyone, that resentful woman's look made him feel on tenterhooks every day.
Just a few days passed, and finally it was the day of the Gumen election. People from all sects gathered under the imperial city in the center of Yangdu City, waiting for someone to announce the specific content of the Gumen election, because this The news is very hidden, so the contestants don't know what they will face next.
While everyone was whispering in the audience, they suddenly heard a sharp roar, and saw a golden roc flying in the distant sky. It held a scroll in its mouth, flew towards the imperial city, and then swooped down. When they got to the ground, they were startled by the dust all over the ground. When the dust fell, they saw a middle-aged man wearing golden silk clothes, sword eyebrows and eagle eyes, with a stern expression. He flicked the scroll in his hand: "This is the election of the ancient gate. The specific matters are as follows, please listen carefully!”
