Jiang Yu found Li Zha the night before. When he knocked on the door, Li Zha was eating dinner.
"Who is it! Come in!"
Li Zha took two random mouthfuls of rice, put down the chopsticks and bowl, wiped his mouth vigorously, and when he raised his head, Jiang Yu pushed the door open and came in.
"Why are you here? I heard someone said you went out?"
Jiang Yu looked at the bright lights in the room and felt a little confused. He avoided her question and turned to talk about something else: "Am I back now? Is the old god awake?"
"Humph, wake up."
The big pen came out of the inner room, and Jiang Yu was in a trance when he saw the golden Taotie pattern on the pen barrel.
Come to think of it, the person who assassinated them also wore a mask with Taotie patterns on his face.
Is there any connection between the two?
"You girl smells like rust, and you have a murderous spirit. Are you just trying to get into trouble with someone?"
The old god's eyes, which were slit in the middle of the Taotie pattern, showed a hint of disdain: "It's unseemly to fight and kill all day long. Practitioners, please don't go astray."
"That's what the old god taught me."
Jiang Yu was not rude. He raised his hands and bowed slightly, bowing slightly and said, "It's great to see you awake. I have something urgent to discuss with you."
"Discuss? Discuss what?"
The old god jumped on the table, sat down on the edge, and said with a smile: "I just woke up from the magic weapon, and you came here. What is going on?"
"This..." Jiang Yu didn't know where to start. He was confused, but Li Zhawu misunderstood. She smiled and told Jiang Yu about Tai Sui and their preparations to sneak into the Bai family. The old god.
The old god Da Doubi half-closed his eyes: "You mean, we still have to go to Bai's house."
Li Zha said cheerfully: "Yes, that's right."
"Idiot, if you are sold, you have to pay for it."
The old god snorted coldly and looked at Jiang Yu with his eyes: "Jiang Yu, I think you are still young and don't understand the rules, so I won't argue with you about recruiting us into the gang. Anyway, the purpose of my master and apprentice is This is also true, you did us a favor, but then again, if you don't tell the truth what's going on, there's no way we can help you."
Li Zha let out a stunned sound and turned his head to look at her in confusion: "What's going on?"
"Nothing can be hidden from the old god, but before Jiang Yu explains the situation, he wants to ask you something."
Jiang Yu sighed: "I want to ask, old god, do you have any explanation for the Taotie marks on your body?"
The old god Da Doubi stood up: "Taotie pattern? This is just the habit of the weapon refiner when I was born. That person used to draw this pattern on every magic weapon. What? You met the Taotie pattern. Magic weapon?"
A magic weapon? Jiang Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
There was no trace of spiritual energy on the fallen mask, it was just an ordinary mask. Maybe it was just a coincidence.
Jiang Yu said respectfully: "Actually, it's not a big deal. During the two days when you, the old god, were asleep, I went to the suburbs with Bai Xiu, the head of the Yuling Mansion, to investigate a case. We were ambushed and attacked. Bai Xiu is now suffering from... Lost Soul Syndrome, the young master of the Xiao family and I are afraid that the mastermind behind this wants to attack the people of the fifth family."
"In order to take advantage of it, I would like to ask you two to accompany me to the Bai family to get Tai Sui. If my guess is correct, if I get it, many things will be solved."
The old immortal glared at Li Zha fiercely, and the latter cringed and touched Jiang Yu's end.
"Girl Jiang Yu, since you are honest, I will tell you the truth."
Jiang Yu bowed and listened very respectfully. The old immortal nodded with satisfaction, and the red tassel on the top of the pen holder was dangling.
"You came to the house with Xiao San, the young master of the Xiao family, and we were invited by Xiao Sanxun, the third brother of the Xiao family. You don't know much about the overt and secret struggles of these wealthy families, so I won't tell you in detail. There are a lot of twists and turns here. All you need to know is that we are both united and opposed. I can tell you some things. Whether you say it or not has nothing to do with the young master of the Xiao family or us."
"This time my disciple Li Zha and I can take you to Baifu to get the Tai Sui, but there is one condition. We have to cut off part of the Tai Sui."
Jiang Yu frowned slightly when he heard this: "Old immortal, I have no objection to this. It doesn't matter whether this thing is good or bad, as long as it is useful. But it is not necessarily Tai Sui, and there is a high possibility that it caused this incident. The culprit? What is the use of such a thing?"
"You don't care how I use it, just say it works or not."
The old god was a little impatient: "If you say no, then this deal will not be done. You can go to Bai Mansion to find it yourself!"
"Don't." Jiang Yu looked troubled, and she sighed: "It's okay, the old god has great powers, and he can use them as he pleases. If I don't tell you, no one will know what you took."
"This matter needs to be done sooner rather than later. Let's meet in front of the Drum Tower in the East City at dawn tomorrow."
Seeing that Jiang Yu agreed, the old god softened his tone, and then decided on a time to go to Bai's house.
After talking about the business, it was almost midnight. Jiang Yu went back to the room and fell asleep. When he woke up again, it was still dark outside.
She got up early, wiped the Dengxian Sword again, then put on the knife, put on the bamboo hat, and quietly left the Xiao Mansion.
Although it is not bright outside, the people setting up the morning market have already pushed wooden carts to the market. Lin'an City is peaceful and quiet, without any uneasiness at all, as if the murder that happened in Chang'an Lin yesterday was just a mist, blowing lightly. Dispersed.
Jiang Yu didn't bother to make a fool of himself, and walked towards Dongshi step by step.
In addition to the Yuling Mansion and the Shipping Department, the Dongshi Market also has five Bai families from Pingjiang County standing here. The small river here spreads like a rhizome on the ground. The surface of the river is covered with smoke and sand. She stands on the bridge and looks into the distance. , the front of the bridge is still a bridge.
There are two tall buildings deep in the market, one is the bell tower and the other is the drum tower. The bells are sounded in the morning and the gongs and drums are played in the evening. She looked at the drum tower and walked forward after a long while.
The sky turned white, as if something was trying to break through the loneliness and break through the sky. Rows of white houses and black tiles stretch all the way to the sparkling sea.
Someone has already set up a stall along the street, and the fire crackles and sparks explode. As soon as the stall owner lifts the lid of the pot, warm steam hits his face, and then a burst of fragrant fragrance spreads out.
Jiang Yu smelled these smells along the road, which seemed particularly attractive on the long silent street.
Some people began to shout and hawk, and some began to walk on the streets with burdens. The life of Lin'an City seemed to be gradually recovering.
She walked to a stall and exchanged copper plates for some hot meat buns. After taking two bites, she felt they were too hot, so she had to wrap them in oil paper and put them away.
The dull bell rang eighteen times.
Jiang Yu walked to the foot of the Drum Tower and stood for about a stick of incense. Suddenly someone tapped her shoulder. She turned her head and saw Li Zha, who had arrived late.
Li Zha just hung the old god on her waist, and held a tattered sword in her arms that could not be seen with its carvings. She blinked and looked very harmless, only smiling at Jiang Yu.
"I'm coming!"
