She was extremely concerned about the people Tan Wushuang and Mu Zi were inquiring about. She didn't dare to contact them now because she didn't know whether the Mu Zi who followed Tan Wushuang was actually Mu Zi. If not, then who is she? What is her purpose? Thinking of the period of contact with Mu Zi, the more Li Fenglan thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.
In the big battle years ago, Li Fenglan and Mu Zi were outside the Hall of Free Persons. Mu Zi went to hunt down Gu, but the lightness of the skills he displayed was not something that someone who commonly used heavy weapons would use. On the contrary, Mu Zi, whom she was secretly chasing today, fit the bill very well. Moreover, Li Fenglan's condition at that time was: It was okay to live in the Xianren Hall, but he was not allowed to kill Master Jiu again. Mu Zi's answer was ambiguous, but would a paranoid person change his mind easily?
Li Fenglan has already been five points certain that the person in the Hall of Leisure during this period may not be Mu Zi.
After resting in the inn for half a night, Li Fenglan went to the house where Penaka used to live at dawn.
Although it was this time, the house was still brightly lit, many people gathered around the door of the house, and the yard was also full of people. Those people were strong and tough, and they didn't look easy to deal with.
In the yard, several corpses were arranged neatly and covered with white cloth. A bearded one-eyed dragon stood in front of the corpses and said something loudly.
"Brothers! This is a vendetta!" One-eyed Dragon said impassionedly, "I give you three days to find out who did it! No matter who it is! Anyone who dares to touch me! I will make him pay with blood!"
The answer from the people below was "yes".
Li Fenglan thought about it for a while and somewhat understood the situation in front of her. It turns out that Mu Zi and Tan Wushuang had just left the noodle shop when they arrived, and before they had even eaten two bites of noodles, they saw the two being chased. It can be seen that these people were not killed by the two of them, then it could only be Mu Zi who was alone.
Li Fenglan felt that this was an opportunity, and maybe she could kill two birds with one stone.
So she walked out of the shadows, jumped up, and landed steadily in the center of the yard.
A large living person suddenly appeared, startling the group of people.
The one-eyed dragon yelled: "Who are you?!"
Li Fenglan wore a power fence on her head so that no one could see her face clearly. She deliberately made her voice hoarse and said with a smile: "Maybe I know who killed you."
The one-eyed dragon looked unkind: "Then please give me some advice."
"I definitely don't come here out of good intentions. How about making a deal?"
"What kind of deal does the girl want to do?"
Someone said loudly: "Don't talk nonsense to her! Take her immediately! I'll be punished! It depends on whether she talks or not."
Li Fenglan rolled her eyes: "Do you have that ability?"
"Girl, please tell me your clues first."
"The murderer was a man, in his forties, unshaven, and the weapon he used was a spear."
The one-eyed dragon felt that the girl in front of him was right. She probably had never seen the corpse, but she knew that the wounds on the corpse were caused by spears.
"Is that all?"
"I also know which direction he ran."
"Which way?"
"This... Brother One-Eyed Dragon, we are making a deal. I have already shown enough sincerity. Look, would you like to hear the little woman's terms first?"
"Speaking."
"A woman lived in this courtyard before. Do you know who this woman is?"
The one-eyed dragon's eyes became fierce, and he asked sinisterly: "Girl, why do you ask this?"
Li Fenglan smiled slightly: "It seems that you have told me the answer. Don't worry, I will check it slowly. Oh, by the way, that person took a boat to the pier at the west end of the village at noon. As for where he went, I don't know. Got it. It’s getting late, so the little girl won’t accompany you anymore.”
After saying that, he used Qinggong and the person disappeared in the blink of an eye.
She didn't know what Mu Zi's purpose was, but she didn't want anything to happen to Mu Zi at the moment, so she lied.
After Li Fenglan disappeared, One-Eyed Dragon fell into deep thought. Someone asked: "Boss, West Pier... could he be from Jiulian Village?"
alone
Yanlong shook his head: "Not necessarily...but the possibility is very high. Let the brothers be smart these days. Third child, you send two trustworthy people to Jiulian Village to have a look."
"I see."
…
Li Fenglan did not go far, but hid quietly. She already knew that this one-eyed dragon was related to the woman Mu Zi was investigating.
After the group dispersed, Li Fenglan quietly followed the one-eyed dragon.
She guessed well. This one-eyed dragon was the leader of a local water bandit, but his strength was limited. Most of his brothers were reckless and not very skilled.
After the one-eyed dragon came out of the house, he led two people to walk on the road of the village. Not long after, he stopped in front of a house that was more luxurious than other houses. He said something to his two men, who clasped their fists and handed them over before leaving. He opened the door and walked in.
This should be the one-eyed dragon's home. There are many servants in the house. As soon as he walked in, a somewhat wealthy woman came out. The woman was in her twenties. It was obvious that she had gained weight and was pretty good-looking. However, this woman's appearance is slightly different from that of the people from the Central Plains, and her facial features are very similar to those from southern Xinjiang.
She smiled and said something to the one-eyed dragon. They must be husband and wife, and they seemed quite loving.
Li Fenglan understood in her heart, so she returned to the original house and waited. She knew that no matter who Mu Zi was, he would still come to this house.
After waiting for most of the morning, I saw two figures who were still cautious in disguise appearing at the corner of the street. This house is not empty now. There was a murder just yesterday, and now there are many One-Eyed Dragon's men inside. The two people did not dare to approach the house rashly, but just watched from a distance.
Li Fenglan took out the note that she had prepared long ago, tied it to a stone, and threw it towards the two of them.
She has some basic knowledge of concealed weapons, but she's not very good at it, but it's not a problem to hit people from such a long distance.
While the stone was still in mid-air, Tang Bailing felt the sound of breaking wind in the air. She was a master of hidden weapons, so she caught the stone with just one move.
Tan Wushuang was shocked: "Who is it?!"
He turned his head and looked in the direction from which the stone was flying. There was no human figure anywhere.
Tang Bailing stopped Tan Wushuang who was about to catch up and whispered, "Don't be nervous, it's Xin."
She opened the note and there was an address written on it, which was the location of the Cyclops' home.
Tan Wushuang asked: "Then let's... go and have a look?"
Tang Bailing had so much experience in assassinations that she knew who was hiding in the dark as soon as Li Fenglan took action. Now that Li Fenglan refused to show up, she obviously had some scruples in her heart. From her understanding of Li Fenglan, she knew that although this little girl had many clever ideas, she was not a vicious person. Besides, her little girl was still with her and would not harm them both.
Tang Bailing nodded and said, "Let's go and have a look... However, there was a death here yesterday, and the whole village must be very nervous now. Let's go there at night."
"good."
…
During the day, Li Fenglan was very alert and was deeply afraid that her identity would be discovered.
She went to inquire about some things, such as: There is a lot of friction among various water bandits now, and water bandits, big and small, are all trying to steal business. This group of water bandits in Sanye Village was led by Li Tianbiao, and Li Tianbiao was the one-eyed dragon. This man is relatively loyal. Although he is engaged in robbing families and homes, he rarely seems to hurt others.
The relationship between Li Tianbiao and Jiulian Village has not been happy recently. The reason is that the leader of Jiulian Village had his birthday last month. Li Tianbiao went to pay homage to his birthday. The gifts he brought were a little shabby and he was ridiculed by everyone in Jiulian Village. After that, the two forces started to have constant friction. Today you sent people to beat my brother, and tomorrow I sent people to rob your ship. From the outside, it seems that a war between the two groups is about to break out.
Li Fenglan felt that this was an opportunity. She could find a way to interfere with it, let the two groups fight, fish in troubled waters, and get the information she wanted.
Although he had a good idea, he was alone at the moment and couldn't do any business that would disrupt the situation.
She can only place her hope on Tan Wushuang and Mu Zi. If Mu Zi is on her side, then she still has a great chance.
until
At sunset, Tang Bailing and Tan Wushuang were still hiding in the dark and did not take action. Li Fenglan was impatient to wait. She was eager to see the blood flow into a river.
As a result, the action of the two people did not wait, but a few unexpected people showed up.
In the evening, Li Fenglan was sitting in the inn room, boredly watching the lake view outside the window. She was lost in thought when she suddenly heard the voices of several people in the corridor. There were two voices that she seemed to have heard somewhere.
"Four rooms, one for each person. You two will live on opposite ends, I will live in this room, and my little sister will live next door to me."
The other three replied: "Understood."
Li Fenglan peeked out from the crack of the door and saw four tall figures wearing black robes and black cloaks standing outside the door.
She was a little confused: What was Qian Wei doing here? Jiujiang... Jincaishen sent people here. Apart from business matters, was Xu Zhenbiao the only one? Did this old boy discover something?
Li Fenglan had seen two of the four money guards. The one in the lead was the one who picked them up when they first arrived in Chang'an. There was also a female money guard who said she would protect them when they left Chang'an. These four money guards were tall and breathing steadily. Even though Li Fenglan didn't know martial arts, she could still feel an indescribable pressure from the four of them.
Li Fenglan had some concerns in her mind, so she might as well wait and see what happened and see what the four of them were doing here first.
…
On the other side, Tang Bailing and Tan Wushuang were not unwilling to take action, but they really had no chance.
Li Tianbiao's house was so well-defended that even his men were on the street, so the two of them couldn't break in directly. After staying outside for half the night, Tan Wushuang couldn't stand it anymore.
"Sister Mu, how about we think of another way?"
Tang Bailing was in a confused mood. She felt that she was a little anxious. Because she had met Mu Zi, she was now eager to solve the current problem. Any more delay would be more dangerous for her.
She gritted her teeth and said to Tan Wushuang: "Wushuang, go to the street corner and wait for me. If you can't wait for me within two hours... you go find Li Fenglan."
Tan Wushuang shook his head and said, "I know you want to take risks. Even if I go back to find Li Fenglan, if this lasts for so long, something will happen to you."
Tang Bailing said, "No, I'm not asking you to go back to Luoyang. Li Fenglan is in Sanye Village."
"What? Is she here?"
"Yes, she was the Mili woman who chased us that day, and she also gave us the note."
Tan Wushuang was delighted: "If she comes, it proves that Amber and the others are also coming, and we will not be short of manpower."
Tang Bailing nodded: "I just don't know where they are hiding. I'll have to trouble you to find them when the time comes. However, since she gave us the note, I believe she already knows something. I wonder where she is hiding now." Looking after us."
"Okay, I understand, but Sister Mu, don't take any chances."
"I know, don't worry."
After Tan Wushuang left, Tang Bailing hid in the dark and stared at the door of Li's house. Not long after, a maid came out carrying a bamboo basket. Mu Zi breathed a sigh of relief and finally allowed himself to seize the opportunity.
This maid went out to buy groceries and looked like just an ordinary woman.
Tang Bailing quietly followed the maid, memorizing her figure and steps in his mind. After following for two streets, Tang Bailing could already imitate her steps. When she reached a remote corner, she took two steps to catch up with the maid and shouted: "Girl! Girl!"
The maid turned around and saw a woman with a veil covering her face calling her.
The maid asked: "Sister, what can I do?"
Tang Bailing nodded and said, "I want to borrow something from my sister."
"what?"
"your face."
