Li Qing found a tea stall and drank it slowly. Guiliu City borders the mountains and is under the jurisdiction of Jianfeng, so it is not as heavily walled as other towns controlled by the imperial court. Many traders who come and go to Shan Rong will choose to pass around and rest here, so the coachmen and footmen here come and go frequently. Many local people will set up a small stall nearby to buy some refreshments and snacks for these people who make a living by selling their physical strength to fight and quench their hunger. Li Qing was dressed in cloth, mixed in with these peddlers and pawns, and was not conspicuous. The so-called tea is just a brew of loose tea powder, which tastes bitter and astringent, but it is very thirst-quenching. It's also interesting to listen to these bitter men around me tell some rumors about the market.

It wasn't until the two bowls of tea were eaten that the gate of the courtyard in the distance finally opened, and seeing Cheng Sihai and the housekeeper walking away, Li Qing got up and walked towards the courtyard.

The courtyard is not large, with a well drilled in the center, two brick houses on one side, and a stove on the other side, which is used as a kitchen. Li Qing was about to enter the house to take a look, but he heard a very light footsteps outside the courtyard, and when he heard it, it was not an ordinary passerby.

Two figures flashed in from outside the wall, looking left and right, one standing in the courtyard, and the other went straight to the well, turned the wheel, and brought a bucket of water out of the well. The man took something from the bucket, let it go, and let it fall, making a plop and glaring at the other man. The two of them took the object, and without hesitation, turned around and walked out over the wall.

Li Qing couldn't help but admire Jian Qiushan a little, when he went to the Spring Breeze Dart Bureau today, Jian Qiushan almost didn't make a statement, just observed his words and looks, and was keenly aware of the problem.

Following the two from afar, walking all the way through the streets and alleys, they came to a flower building, and the three bright red characters of "Cuihua Pavilion" on the signboard looked extraordinarily charming in the sun. At this time, just after noon, the flower building did not begin to welcome customers, for these people who do night business, this hour is just waking up.

Looking left and right, although it was past noon at this time, the alleys around the Cuihua Pavilion were quiet, except for one or two carriages that came to deliver water and vegetables, there was no figure in sight.

Li Qing went around to the backyard, jumped lightly, and sneaked in. This courtyard carved beams and painted buildings, Quyuan corridor, is very elegantly arranged, if you don't see the front door signboard, Li Qing also thinks that he has mistakenly broken into some official eunuch's house. At this time, there are only a few families in the garden dressed up to prune the branches and wipe the pillars.

Li Qing touched the building all the way through the flowers and trees, just bypassed a rockery, and suddenly heard a voice coming from the rockery, only to hear a woman say with some complaints: "You see how good the birds are, I found the young master of the Spring Breeze Dart Bureau, not only was I infatuated with her, but also I didn't hesitate to use the knife with Cui Ye of the Long Whale Gang for her." Now that she has been ransomed out again, how happy is she now when she eats and drinks spicy food? Look at me again, where is it worse than a finch child? Why did you fall in love with such a wrongdoer? Asking for money or not, the old immortal bullied me yesterday, and you didn't even dare to let out a fart. ”

Li Qing heard that it was two little lovers who were having a tryst here, and originally didn't plan to stay, but when she heard the woman talking about the young master of the Spring Breeze Dart Bureau, she couldn't help but stop, it seems that the finch is very likely to be the hostess of that courtyard. Looking at Cheng Sihai today, when he heard the housekeeper mention the young master, he had a little black face, I was afraid that it was because of this woman's identity.

Just as he was thinking, he heard a man's voice sound, "Qin'er, why are you talking like this?" If it weren't for your father and mother who saw the money and sold you here, now we are afraid that we even have children." You don't know what I've done to you all these years. I've been working hard for the Long Whale Gang all day long, isn't it just so that we can be together one day earlier? Do you think the finch is having a better time now? Let me tell you, the Spring Breeze Dart Game has caused a lot of trouble, and in a few days, I am afraid that there will be no more Spring Breeze Dart Game in this Guiliu City. ”

The woman was only angry last night, and she was a little jealous, so she took the opportunity of the tryst to complain to her lover. Now when I heard that the finch was not doing very well, I immediately came to the spirit, and urged the lover to speak quickly.

"You must have heard that a dart in the Spring Breeze Dart Bureau was robbed, don't you care, that is not an ordinary dart, this dart is not only worth a huge value, I heard that there are even more terrible things in the looted goods. Nowadays, many bigwigs in the gang are nowhere to be seen, and personnel transfers are also very frequent. I'm afraid it's all related to this matter. The man lowered his voice and said with some mystery.

After listening to it for a while, I thought that this man was just a small character in the Long Whale Gang, and he talked for a long time, but there was no useful information. Li Qing didn't stay any longer and dived towards the flower building.

The outside of this flower building looks very magnificent, magnificent, into the inside, the corridors are connected, the halls are dense, it is like a labyrinth, where can the two figures before still find traces. Li Qing had never been to such a place, and he didn't know the functions of the various buildings in this building, so he had to wander around to see if he could find anything more.

At this time, some women in the flower pavilion had already risen, and the little maids were busy waiting back and forth. Li Qingyin was looking around on the beam, and suddenly saw two small servants holding tea saucers respectfully saluting a man: "Master Cui, did you get up so early?

The man had a beard all over his face, a blue-black face full of flesh, and in the February weather, he was only wearing a silk coat, with an open chest, revealing black hair on his chest, and a few clothes in his hands, and he was putting on his body indiscriminately, looking very eager, and when he heard the greeting of the little guy, he only nodded perfunctorily, and then swept over like the wind.

Li Qing heard the greeting of the two little guys, and his heart moved, this man is not Cui Ye of the Long Whale Gang mentioned by the couple in the rockery just now? Li Qingzheng was a little confused, thinking that this person was somewhat related to the young master of the Spring Breeze Dart Bureau, so let's go and see what he was going to do.

The man walked through the corridor and came to a portal. There were two strong men in black standing in front of the door, and when they saw the man coming, they stretched out their hands to stop, touched the man's body up and down, and then turned around and pushed open the door and let the man in.

Li Qing glanced into the room by opening the door, there was a round table in the room, and there was already a bearded old man sitting next to the table, and the two people he had just seen in the courtyard of the young master of the Spring Breeze Dart Bureau were also in the room. As soon as the man entered the door, he respectfully saluted the old man. At this time, the door closed, Li Qing could no longer see the scene in the house, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Looking around, this hall is very peculiar, standing alone in the middle of a pond, surrounded by curved corridors, more than ten strong men in black with swords wandering around, Li Qing had no choice but to hide on the beam and wait quietly.

I don't know how long it took, the door opened, the bearded old man walked out of the house, Li Qing just passed the door and didn't care, at this time, seeing the old man walking in a tiger's step, the eagle looked at the wolf, his heart tightened, he hurriedly held his breath, and lowered his body a little. When the more than ten black-clothed men saw the old man walk out, they immediately gathered around and escorted the old man away.

When the old man walked away, the three men who were standing on the side seemed to be loose, and then they arched their hands to each other and left. Li Qing thought for a while, followed closely behind the two men, went around all the way, and actually got out of the flower building. The two seemed to be in a good mood, bought a lot of roast chicken and sauced meat, passed by the wine shop and sold some wine, and happily went all the way out of the city.

Li Qing followed behind the two, walking more and more deserted, and when they went out of the city gate, they saw that the two of them had picked up a deserted mountain path and went all the way into the mountain. Li Qing became more and more curious in his heart, what did these two people do when they bought a lot of wine and food in this barren mountain and wilderness?

Walking along the mountain road, a temple is faintly revealed in the distance, the stone steps in front of the temple are overgrown with wild grass, and the stone lion in front of the door is dumped aside, obviously abandoned for a long time. Several shabby-dressed teenagers were standing on the stone steps in front of the temple gate, anxiously looking at the mountain road. When he saw the two men coming, he shouted together, ran to the front with joy, and laughed around the two men. Suddenly, when I saw the wine and food, I hurriedly grabbed it in my hand and jumped in front to lead the way. The two men seemed to be very happy to see these teenagers, laughed, and beckoned the teenagers to slow down and walk all the way to the ruined temple.

Li Qing wondered in his heart, these teenagers looked like they were just beggars, how could they be so close to these two men? But looking at the behavior of the two men today, it was not like an ordinary steal. I saw two men follow a group of beggars into the ruined temple. Li Qing decided to step forward and ask for an understanding.

Before he got closer, he suddenly heard a few screams coming from the temple, Li Qing was startled, and swept forward like a gust of wind.

"Bang-" A figure burst through the door and fell heavily on the stone steps in front of the door, and it was one of the men. At this time, the man's chest was torn, blood gushed out, and in the blink of an eye, his body was dyed red. The man saw Li Qing rushing towards him, and pointed to the temple with his hand, but fell down again, and there was no more sound.

The man in black smirked and slashed over a beggar, his heart was very happy, it had been a long time since he had killed as much as he did today, so much so that the man did not want the feast to end so quickly. It's a very remote place, and no one will come when you're idle, and with the skills of these teenagers in front of you, you can't escape your palms left and right, and you can enjoy it slowly.

The man in black looked at the man who was crawling on the ground not far away with two blood stains, and the smile on his hideous face was even stronger, and he approached step by step with a knife. The teenagers next to them were originally a little frightened, but when they saw the demon walking towards the man, their eyes turned red for a while, and they rushed towards the man in black like crazy. The man in black looked at the young man who rushed over with some playfulness, and the knife in his hand was slowly raised.

Suddenly, there was a breeze behind him, and the man in black had been drinking blood with a knife for many years, and the warning signs in his heart had just risen, and he didn't want to rush forward. But before the breeze behind him rose, it suddenly turned into a cold sword wind whistling. The man in black hurriedly turned around and raised his knife to meet him, only to see that a long knife burning with flames had arrived in front of him, and the flames in his eyes were burning, as hot and merciless as the flames of hell.
