I thought that the old man who lingered was just a small person in Xinling City, but as the place he sneaked into became bigger and bigger, Mei Xiaoxi's heart gradually lost his confidence.

This house is so heavily guarded, all the soldiers patrolling back and forth are soldiers in armor, the owner of the house wants to be either rich or noble, maybe it is the official in Xinling City, the White Horse Town was destroyed in the hands of such a person, what to do, is it to tell the lingering directly, or ......

Concerns have not been spoken, lingering but has stopped, Mei Xiaoxi looked up, and saw that she was standing in front of a courtyard gate, there were two small birds parked on the door, someone approached and did not fly away, she felt strange, before entering the door to look carefully, only to find that it was actually two handmade exquisite products, after turning into the door, I saw that there were countless things like this in the yard, birds and beasts, flowers, birds, insects and fish, all kinds of dazzling!

"This is ......" She opened her mouth wide and stayed in place, lingering but smiling slightly, shaking a wind chime in the corner of the corridor, the bell jingled along a thin line all the way, and after a moment of calm, a figure suddenly appeared from the rockery in the courtyard and jumped in front of the two.

"I just said that my eyelids have been jumping for the past two days, and sure enough, something good has arrived!" The man came up and hugged the lingering, with a lot of things crackling in his mouth, and after finishing speaking, he reached out to hug Mei Xiaoxi, and was stopped by lingering and shuddered, he obviously knew that lingering was powerful, so he hugged his head and jumped into the house.

The lamps and candles lit one after another, and when the man looked back at the lingering and charming Xiaoxi who were following the room, and was about to continue talking, his smile suddenly froze, and then his eyes narrowed slightly, showing a very subtle but obvious anger.

"Who hurt you!"

Those four words were almost forced out between his teeth, and the man's young and handsome face revealed a ruthlessness, which was very different from Fang Cai's cynical attitude.

"It's just a skin, the important thing is that I'm alive, isn't it. Lingering but understated brought it over, beckoned Mei Xiaoxi to sit down, and then poured her a cup of hot tea.

He said it easily, but everyone with a discerning eye knew how much pain it was necessary to endure such a massive burn, and the more relaxed he behaved, the more it showed how much damage he had suffered.

"You could—"

You can erase this ugly scar and heal it without effort, but you choose to ignore it and make yourself hideous and terrible, thinking that there must be something that breaks your heart so much that you will treat yourself with such a look!

"Don't talk about this, I came this time to entrust you with a task, to find someone around me here. ”

"You say. ”

"This person, help me find out if it's there. A scroll was thrown in front of the man, and after a pause, he continued: "I will stay here for three days, and after three days we will leave when no one is there." ”

The man looked at the portrait and nodded: "If you are in Xinling, I will definitely be able to find it for you within three days!"

"Pivotal. ”

"Hmm. ”

Lingering paused again, looked at the tall man in front of him, and showed a gentle smile: "You...... Grown up!"

That cowardly and indisputable pivotal has finally grown up!

"The Nanyan Merchant Gang is the largest gang in our Xinling City, the nomadic old man has not shown up for many days, I heard that he is not in good health, and he has been recuperating, and the gang is now the second leader Cheng Jinluo is in charge, and you can only see the old man through him. ”

"What about the second leader?"

"I can't say it, he is the adopted son of the old man You, he has been helping to take care of the affairs of the gang before, not very obvious, recently the old man You retired, he has become active in the whole person, we have branches of Nanyan in all walks of life in Xinling City, and those who have come into contact with him say that he is a person who is not very easy to deal with, mainly because he is too shrewd and calculating. ”

"When did Old Man You start to retire behind the scenes and no longer take care of things?" Bai Yan looked at Merry thoughtfully, and asked questions.

"Just a month ago, it was almost ......" Shopkeeper Li subconsciously glanced at Lin Rui.

"Oh, got it. Bai Yan took his words at the right time.

The shopkeeper Li is also an old man, how could he not know that there must be a reason why they have been inquiring about the Southern Tobacco Merchant Gang. A month ago, after the news of the destruction of the martial arts sect came out, the old man You no longer appeared, this is really a coincidence, but who can tell the things on the rivers and lakes.

"We are here to bother and ask for the forgiveness of Shopkeeper Li, it is getting late tonight, and we will find the inn tomorrow——"

"Master Meng Xiaohou don't want to say these foreign words, our big shopkeeper and son-in-law are also good friends, you are here as your own family, if you need help, just ask, Li will do his best. ”

"Thank you to the shopkeeper, Shaoqing, send the shopkeeper out. ”

"Everyone, please. Shopkeeper Li went out with his fists clenched, walked to Bai Yan's side, and said a little worriedly: "Do you also think that there is a reason for Old Man You's retirement?"

"Listening to what the shopkeeper Li said, Cheng Jinluo, the second master, is by no means an ordinary person, at this juncture, the old man You is not out of the door There are only two biggest possibilities, one is because of the relationship between the Nanyan Merchant Gang and the Wumen, he needs to avoid the limelight and avoid the attention of the imperial court, and second, it is possible to ......"

"The little marquis is afraid that someone doesn't want to return the rights in his hands to the young master, so he imprisoned Old Man You and cut off his connection with the martial arts?" Wu Tianhan was angry for a while, and couldn't help coughing violently, Lin Rui stood up and stroked his back, and said faintly: "What's the hurry, this matter is not for a while, and seriously, we don't know what kind of attitude Old Man You has, I haven't heard my father mention him for many years, if the real person has a change of heart, it can't help it." He spoke a little coldly, thinking about how stubborn he was at the beginning, and now when he encounters such a change, his temperament has changed dramatically, it is also embarrassing, Bai Yan looked at him, and vaguely saw his former self again.

Some people are growing up slowly, while others seem to have grown up overnight!

"Let's not wait for the daytime to post and visit. Bai Yan curled his hair as he spoke, and Merry shook off the burden on the table and took out a few night clothes.

"Heng Yue and I will go with you, we will take care of each other, Brother Wu's injuries have not healed, Shaoqing will stay to take care of him and Lin Rui. ”

"Good. Bai Yan knew that they would not let themselves go on an adventure alone, so he agreed without hesitation, and after changing his clothes and tidying them up, he looked back at the corner of the baggage, thought about it, and walked over and reached out to pick up the flawless mask.

"Let's go!" Merry and Heng Yue called back to him, he stroked the tattoo on his face and gently covered the mask!

Flawless, I once thought that you could put down everything and start over, but I didn't expect that in the end, I lived like you!
