Inside the residence of Cai Yong, the Grand Prime Minister of the current dynasty.
A girl is playing with another girl on the swing.
With a gentle push, she pushed the girl on the swing into the air, and the latter's skirt also flew up.
Suddenly there was a burst of giggles on the swing.
But the girl who helped push the swing seemed to have her mind elsewhere at the moment. Her eyes kept wandering around, and she glanced at the wall of the courtyard from time to time.
After a while, a little sugar figure about the size of a palm rolled in from the other side of the courtyard wall.
Then he took two short legs and ran towards where the two girls were.
The girl who helped push the swing quickly stopped what she was doing and caught the swing coming back.
The girl on the swing also extended her palm, letting the little sugar man jump up and put it to her ear. After a moment, she said, "It's done, he saw the note you left."
The girl who helped push the swing looked happy and said, "Okay, then those righteous masters will be saved."
"You seem to trust him." The girl on the swing tilted her head.
"No one who has been to Wujiang City will doubt his strength. Besides, according to you, he has joined that mysterious organization now, so he should be stronger."
The girl on the swing was still puzzled, "Li Li, why are you so concerned about tonight's events? Even if all those righteous masters died in the capital, it has nothing to do with your father's Dali Temple."
"Who says it doesn't matter?" Xie Lili said, "Those who are gathering in the capital tonight are all prominent figures in the righteous way, and behind them are the top sects in the martial arts world today. If they really have three strengths and two weaknesses, those Naturally, the sect will not report it to the official, but it will definitely use the rules of the world to solve the problem.
"In other words, it means killing a river of blood, and these righteous leaders, you can say that they may not be good people, but at least with them here, those demons will not be so rampant. If they are gone, the capital will be in trouble in the future. I’m afraid there may still be chaos.”
"I can understand your concerns," the girl on the swing said, "but I think you shouldn't continue to pursue similar things after this time."
"Why?" Xie Lili asked.
Her eyes twinkled, and anyone who knew her well knew that this was the expression she showed when she was extremely interested in something.
"Because you are the daughter of the Young Minister of Dali Temple and do not belong to this world."
"You are still the daughter of the current Dazai, so you are different in this world."
"We are different," the girl on the swing shook her head. "I had no choice. I was frail and sick when I was born. The doctors hired by my father all said that I would never live to be ten, so I had to become a candy man to survive. .
"In order to avoid Si Tianjian's ubiquitous spies, I have never left this courtyard for so many years. I can only rely on Sugar Man and Grandma Wang to tell me about the outside world. In order to protect me, my father will not let anyone know about him. And for a daughter like me, I admire you for finding me.
"But if you want to enter that world through me, I advise you to give up."
"Don't be so anxious to refuse," Xie Lili said coaxingly, "Your ability and my reasoning are a perfect match. As long as the two of us join forces, there is no case in the capital that we can't solve. I see that Cai Dazai has also been unable to solve the case recently. You are so busy...you also want to share your worries for your father, don't you?"
The girl on the swing was unmoved, "You think this is too simple. Si Tianjian has a history of thousands of years, and there are many experts in the department. They can also mobilize the power of local governments and righteous people to deal with those weird things. There are still many dangers, and we can’t do this alone.”
Although Xie Lili agreed, looking at her face, it was clear that she didn't take it seriously.
So the girl on the swing paused and said, "Take what happened tonight as an example. Even if you find out that those righteous leaders are in danger, you still can't do anything. You can only use external forces to solve the problem."
"Yes, I also noticed what you said. We still lack someone who can fight. What do you think of Daxia Lu? When I came to the capital before, I went on a boat with him and found that he is quite a good person. Not only is his martial arts high, , and people are easy to talk to.
"Maybe we can discuss it with him. As long as he doesn't turn you in, the three of us will investigate the case together and all the credit for solving the case will be his."
Xie Lili became more and more excited as he talked.
But the girl on the swing was still noncommittal, "Let him pass the test tonight first."
…………
Lu Jing took Amu out of the small courtyard made of sugar. He looked around first and saw the stone pier in front of the courtyard gate and an old locust tree.
After that, he also wrote down the door decorations in front of the two courtyards next door.
Then he walked out of the alley along the path. When he saw a shoe store opposite, he immediately walked up and asked the owner of the shoe store who owned the house with the stone pier and the locust tree in front of the door.
But the boss's answer stunned Lu Jing.
"Stone pier and locust tree? There is no such house in Xianmen Lane."
"How is that possible? On the east side of the house are wintersweets planted in the front yard, and on the west side there is a water tank at the door."
"I know these two houses you mentioned." The shoe store owner said, "The one with the water tank is my house, and the one next door to my house is Yang Daizhao's house."
Lu Jing originally suspected that the shoe store owner might have remembered it wrong, but when he heard what he said, he couldn't ask.
And when he turned around and walked around the alley behind him, he could no longer find the small courtyard with the stone pillars and locust trees at the door.
Lu Jing was not too disappointed. He knew that this sweet mother-in-law could hide under Si Tianjian's nose for so many years, so she must have a lot of tricks.
If the lair could be found so easily, then there would be no point in trying to kill him with dragon beard medicine and using a horse-drawn carriage to pull people there.
He shook his head, put the matter behind him for the time being, and turned his attention to tonight's Righteous Alliance.
The first thing Lu Jing thought about was that Yan Yun would also be there. If there was really any danger, then even if Granny Tang didn't treat it as a medical fee, he certainly couldn't leave it alone.
So Lu Jing sent Amu to Gu Caiwei later and asked her to help take care of him.
Afterwards, I randomly asked someone in the martial arts world and found out that tonight's Righteous Alliance was held in the Zhuangyuan Building.
When Lu Jing arrived there, most of the heads of various factions and pavilion masters had already arrived.
Tonight's Zhuangyuan Building has also been booked, and no other drinkers are allowed to enter. Fortunately, the gatekeepers are people from the Changle Gang, and Lu Jing found someone to bring a message to Li Bufan.
Not long after, Luo Chengsong, the deputy gang leader of the Changle Gang, Hu He Shuang Xing, came out in person.
