"Sir, please come this way." The waiter at Fengyuan Inn bowed and made a gesture of invitation towards the man in gray robes and a bamboo hat.
The man in the bamboo hat and the waiter walked through the noisy lobby and came to a firewood shed in the back hall. When he pushed it with his hands, bursts of pungent smell hit his face. Firewood was piled in twos and threes in the house, leaving only a small space. The passage is walkable.
"Master, I can only send you here." The waiter bowed respectfully, closed the door of the woodshed with both hands, and retreated.
The man in the bamboo hat walked along the passage to the end of the house, put one hand into a pile of firewood and twisted it gently. There was a "bang" on the wall, and a secret door opened from bottom to top.
The man in the bamboo hat bent down and entered. The fire stick he had prepared in his hand immediately lit up, and the secret door fell down on its own with a "boom". The secret passage inside the door is about one person high and one and a half people wide. Crystal water dripping from the top of the wall. The sweet sound of ticking is not suitable for this dark environment.
The man in the bamboo hat seemed to be familiar with the place. He walked along the tunnel for about half a cup of tea. The space that originally had only a little firelight in front of him suddenly became brighter.
This is a wide underground stone chamber. There are four serpentine stone pillars more than one foot high erected around the room. The fire in the brazier held on the pillars is soaring into the sky, illuminating the entire stone chamber.
On the ebony chair in the center of the stone room, a man in black, masked with a black scarf, leaned forward slightly, with his left hand behind his back and his right hand resting on his right leg. He stared at the man in the bamboo hat with a fierce look on his face; he got off On the left and right sides of the head, stood a man in black wearing a black scarf and covering his face with his hands behind his back.
"This junior has met the leader of Yongzhu, the protector of Taotie and the protector of Qiongqi." The man slowly removed the bamboo hat that was covering his face, revealing a handsome and slightly dark face. This man was clearly the son of the master of the White Tiger Academy. Yehu.
"Mr. Ye, today is not the day you and I agreed to meet. What's so important about breaking the rules?" The man in black first asked.
"This is what I need to ask. The original agreement was to capture Liu Qingyao and Liu Ningshi; now it's good, but you are killing Liu Mansion and Wei Yiguan, making the city full of trouble and getting out of control. Why is this?" Ye Hu? Still taking his time.
"Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy. This is our consistent policy." Yaozhu narrowed his eyes: "It's a pity that no one killed Liu Yuanzhi and Yuan Jin."
"Hmph, you neither killed Liu Yuanzhi and Yuan Jin, nor captured Liu Qingyao and Liu Ningshi. Now your people are actually captured by the people of Tingwei Mansion. Such success is not enough, but it is more than failure. I have Do I need to consider whether I want to continue cooperating with you?" Ye Hu paused and continued: "There have been a lot of informants around me recently, I'm afraid your people will be involved."
"It's absolutely impossible. Zhang, Dage and Er are just peripheral characters of ours. It's impossible for them to know about your existence." Yongzhu denied it.
"Ye Hu! Who do you think you are? How dare you question us? Believe it or not, I will drain your blood." Taotie roared angrily.
"My blood is extremely cold, I'm afraid it won't be easy to drink." Ye Hu looked at the roaring Taotie with a smile on his face, as if he were looking at a clown.
"Seeking death." Taotie's faintly red right palm struck Ye Hu's heart like an eagle's claw.
Just when Taotie's palm was about to touch Ye Hu, he moved, and a sharp sword slashed out, like a wall of air between them.
"Taotie, please don't be rude to Mr. Ye and refuse to back down." Yaozhu shouted.
"Hmph, you're lucky." Taotie was blocked by the force of the knife, and one of his palms was numb from the shock of the air wall. Hearing the leader yelling to stop him, Taotie quickly took the opportunity to go down the steps and retreated.
"Chief Yongzhu, no matter how much the two people you mentioned know, they can't keep them anymore." Ye Hu put the sword back into its sheath.
"Don't worry, Mr. Ye, they will die within three days." Yongzhu suddenly laughed, cupped his hands and said, "I heard that Mr. Ye will be engaged in the near future. Congratulations."
"Surely there are no secrets in this place like Jinling? It's only been a day since the news spread." Ye Hu looked helpless and shook his head: "This is not what I wanted, so why am I so happy about it?"
In just the past two days, the originally noisy Wei Yiguan has become deserted, with things and people changing, and the scene looking desolate.
Yuan Jin, who was wearing a black cloak and a purple shirt, stared blankly at the words "Wei Yi Guan" above the courtyard in front of him. His hair, which had been tied up, was rarely spread over his shoulders, fluttering messily in the wind. She looked more tender than before, showing a hint of girlish tenderness; her mood at this time was sad. It has been more than ten years since this post was built; every time she went to Qi as an envoy, she stayed here, which was equivalent to Qi's. A small piece of Wei territory opened up in the country has become an ominous place now that a bloody case has occurred. Even if the Wei Posthouse is rebuilt in the future, it will be located elsewhere, and this place will become a permanent memory. .
"Tong Bo, Liu Ningshi has met the princess." Just as Yuan Jin was fascinated, Tong and Liu greeted him from behind.
Yuan Jin calmed down his emotions, and his slightly sad eyes instantly returned to coldness: "What are you doing here?"
"I have some doubts in my heart, and I want to come and take a look. As for Miss Liu, I have the same idea as Beizhi, so I came together." Tong Bo bowed to Yuan Jin: "I don't know why the princess came here alone, but she didn't Protection from accompanying guards?”
"I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child. Even three or five big men can't get close to me. Besides, your Jingwei guards cannot be trusted. It is precisely because of their poor protection that the bad guys can take advantage of me. Otherwise, I will How could such a thing happen to the Fang Mission?" Thinking of this, Yuan Jin's anger gradually rose in his chest.
"Princess, please be careful. There are many masters in Jinling City. If you are too conceited, you will suffer a loss." Liu Ningshi retorted not to be outdone.
"Oh? Master? Who is Miss Liu referring to? Is it yourself? How about I, the princess, accompany you through two moves?" Black energy suddenly rose around Yuan Jin.
"Humph, you're so kind. How can I be afraid of you?" Liu Ningshi's voice just finished, and she flashed straight towards Yuan Jin.
I saw two graceful figures fighting together in an instant. Liu Ningshi's palm technique was both virtual and real, and he was well-founded in his advance and retreat. Yuan Jin's boxing technique was both defensive and offensive, with strict rules. The two fought fist to fist and palm to palm. It's hearty and hearty, and it's hard to tell the winner.
Tong Bo walked slowly towards the door of Wei Guanyi, carefully looking at the positions where the two dead guards were guarding that night.
"Xiangyun, you've been on duty all night too. Seeing that the hour is approaching, but you are mentally exhausted, why don't I do a little trick to cheer you up." Wen Liang, the guard who came to change the shift, smiled and patted Tong Bo, who was yawning profusely. .
"Xiao Liangzi, I didn't expect you to be good at juggling? Come on, let me show you a show." Tong Bo suddenly became energetic.
"Xiang Yun, can you keep your eyes open? There's nothing in my hands now, right?" Wen Liang repeatedly waved his palms in front of Tong Bo's eyes.
"Yes, there is nothing. Do you still want to change something out of thin air?" Tong Bo was surprised and didn't know how Wen Liang would change.
"Xiang Yun, just watch it." Wen Liang pretended to wave his palms around for a while, then suddenly his hand flashed in front of Tong Bo. He quickly made a fist, then stretched it out, holding a hand between his two fingers. A withered yellow maple leaf.
"When did the leaves collected in my waist get into your hands?" Tong Bo touched his waist and asked in surprise.
"Haha, don't say it, don't say it. If you say it, what will happen to me in the future?" Wen Liang handed the maple leaf back to Tong Bo, and said with a cheerful smile: "Okay, the time has come, let's change shifts."
One of the guards who was moved was Wen Liang, who had always had a harmonious relationship with Tong Bo. It could be said that besides An Dafang, he was the second person with whom Tong Bo had the best relationship in the mansion.
For some reason, Tong Bo looked at the place where Wen Liang was killed, and kept thinking of the scene where he performed a trick for himself: "By the way, what if Wen Liang had used the same technique to get something before he was killed that night? "
Tong Bo took two steps forward, bent down, and stroked the position Wen Liang was guarding inch by inch with his right palm: "Huh? Why does the soil here feel softer than other places?"
Tong Bo pulled out his dagger and cut through the soil one by one. A dark oval iron sign was revealed in front of his eyes. On the front of the token was carved bunches of golden wheat waves, and on the back was carved the word "Nong".
"Miss Liu is really right. This should be the object that Wen Liang took from Ge Er before he was killed." The scene of Wen Liang quickly driving the token into the soil before he was killed flashed through Tong Bo's mind. : "Is this token the one Ge Er said? It is certain that under the circumstances, Zhang Da Ge Er removed the body because he lost the token so that he could find it later. It's a pity. Man's calculation is not as good as God's calculation, but the token was hidden here by Wen Liang."
"Two girls, the competition is over so quickly?" Tong Bo heard two footsteps, one heavy and one light, coming behind him, and he knew that the two girls were already walking towards him.
"Brother Xiangyun is so calm. Don't you worry about us at all?" Liu Ningshi said coquettishly.
"There is nothing to worry about. You two are just competing in martial arts, not life or death." Tong Bo smiled calmly.
"Why do you see this?" Yuan Jin seemed to be somewhat interested in Tong Bo.
"Although the two girls used violent moves, Bo could see that they were all ordinary moves, and they stopped using them without any killing moves." Tong Bo took a deep breath: "It's the princess, Black Evil Fist. If the evil spirit is too strong, it will not be good for women to cultivate after all.”
"It has nothing to do with you." Yuan Jin turned his head and ignored Tong Bo.
"Oh, I never thought that brother Xiangyun would care about people." Liu Ningshi looked at Tong Bo with a smile and annoyance.
"Death is actually an easy thing sometimes, but living and suffering is a difficult and painful thing." Tong Bo looked up into the air with lazy and deep eyes.
When the two girls heard Tong Bo sigh, they both stopped talking. The ups and downs in their hearts could only be felt by themselves. The air was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
"Did I say something wrong again?" Tong Bo saw that the atmosphere was not right and quickly changed the subject: "While the two of you were just discussing, I made a new discovery and asked the princess and Miss Liu to come into the room to talk. "
