Chapter 52: Ransom
The sun is sinking in the west, dusk is going into twilight, and today's water incense building is very lively! The hall is already full of people, and the private rooms on the second floor have already been booked, and a group of women in colorful clothes are faintly seen dancing swords in the water curtain in the center, and the ethereal and beautiful singing accompanies them.

Nangong Yun lightly crossed Erlang's legs, half-leaning on the soft collapse by the window, and looked at the hall on the first floor through the mirror, and the sound of silk and bamboo was endless. This Motu people have a bold personality, but they don't want to be elegant!
I've been in Shui Xiang Lou for nearly a week, and I don't know what happened to Ai Ruyue's side? Have you found the emperor? Who took the emperor away, Shui Xiang Lou can't find out! Zixi walked from the staircase on the third floor. Seeing Nangong Yun lying on the soft collapse in a leisurely posture, he couldn't help but smile slightly, the master is good at everything, but some... Lazy!
"Master, have you read the recent news of the ghost domain that you collected and sorted out from below yesterday?" Zixi asked.
"I've seen it, what's wrong?" Nangong Yun didn't even raise his head, he did see it, but he didn't have what he wanted. I don't know if the opponent is too strong to find out or if there is really no movement, the ghost domain has hardly made any big moves on the rivers and lakes over the years, except for the ghost gate order issued a few years ago to find a person, it is almost forgotten by the people of the rivers and lakes.
Zixi looked at his master's absent-mindedness, and continued to report with some helplessness: "The news just came that it is suspected that there is a ghost domain lord in Motu!"
Nangong Yun's lowered head was finally raised, and he was still holding the mandala ring in his hand, and his thumb was lightly rubbed. There was a hint of doubt in his voice. "Ghost Domain Lord, can you find out what's going on?"
"No!" Zixi replied. "It's just that I have seen traces of it near the capital!" frowned slightly, Zixi seemed to be a little dissatisfied with the ability of his intelligence officers.
"Near the capital?" Nangong Yun frowned, and was about to ask. But I heard a regular smashing sound from the secret passage on the third floor. Zixi's smiling face froze, and he glanced at Nangong Yun, on weekdays, he was on the third floor to deal with the affairs of the Shuixiang Building, and generally the subordinates were not allowed to enter the third floor, and they all handed him the secret report through the secret room, but generally the secret report was delivered uniformly, and he would not knock on the secret room at this time without special circumstances. Walk briskly to the entrance of the secret room, open the mechanism, and take out a note. I only glanced at it, and a trace of anger flashed in my eyes!
Nangong Yun didn't plan to ask, after all, there is no doubt about employing people, since the affairs of Shui Xianglou are handed over to the three of them to manage, she would not ask under normal circumstances, but it is rare to see Zixi angry, and she also asked curiously: "What happened?"
"Someone ordered a batch of jewelry before, paid a deposit, and set a delivery to the door after 10 days. Yesterday's deadline was up, so I sent someone to send the jewelry, and by the way, I took the balance. But I didn't want to send someone to come back today, I felt that there was something wrong, so I ordered someone to investigate, and the news I got was that the person was detained!
Nangong Yun was surprised. If it was at the beginning of the establishment of the Shui Xiang Building, she would not be surprised that this kind of thing happened, after all, the tree is very popular. It is true that during that period of time, there were indeed all kinds of people who were not long-sighted, but under the suppression of the strong means of a bloody storm, no young people came to find fault! It has been four years, and this kind of thing has happened again, and Zixi is asked to go in person. If there is no conspiracy, she will not believe it!
Grinning, there is something dangerous about laughing. Nangong Yun spoke: "Where to redeem people?"
"Taoan Temple not far from the capital!"
"It seems that people have forgotten the methods of Shui Xianglou! It's time for them to remember four years ago!" Nangong Yun got up, left a sentence with some excitement, and returned to the room.
Zixi supported her forehead, and the master's words meant that she was going to do it herself. He was sure that the master must have done this because he had been a little bored in the Shuixiang Building in the past few days! He knew what he said at this time, and the master would not pay attention to it. It's just that he vaguely feels that something is wrong!
The winding path leads straight ahead. Nangong Yun was dressed in black, wearing a cloak, and the black gauze connected to the cloak covered his face, because he was too lazy to change his appearance, Nangong Yun casually brought a mandala mask made by Shui Xianglou! In fact, the reason why Moo'an Temple is said to be Momo-an Temple is because the place where this temple is located is on a mountain full of peach trees, and Momo-an Temple is located on the mountainside. Looking from afar, I saw a stone staircase leading to the top, and in the center was a large hall dedicated to the gods and Buddhas. I didn't expect this Taoan Temple incense to be really vigorous.
Looking for the mark left by the other party that Zixi told him, Nangong Yun saw a young man dressed as a family member standing next to the stone steps, and when he saw the unique mandala token of the Water Fragrance Building that Nangong Yun showed, he was stunned at first, and subconsciously looked behind Nangong Yun, but he still didn't see anyone else, and couldn't help muttering in his heart: Could it be that this Chief Xi is actually coming alone?!
Nangong Yun didn't say anything, and the young man who followed him walked left and right to a small courtyard with a quiet scenery, and Nangong Yun also secretly inquired about the surrounding environment. This place should be close to the inside of the mountain, and the scenery is good. was thinking about it, only to see the young man stop, turn to Nangong Yun and say, "Mr. Xi, go in, my master is waiting for Your Excellency inside!"
Nangong Yun glanced at the young man, did not speak, and walked straight into the courtyard. The corners of his mouth under the mask hooked, I really don't know what the effect of the five-day broken intestine powder that Xiao Xuan'er was taught to refine some time ago in the autumn! The name is so vulgar, the effect won't be average! Do you really think that there will be no retribution for those who dare to have crooked thoughts about her Shui Xianglou? As the first person to test Xiao Xuan'er's new product this time, you are really honored!
Pushing open the door, I was greeted by two masked men in black. One person stood at the table, the other leaned in front of the window, Nangong Yun was stunned at first, how does this posture look like a kidnapper! Before he could speak, he only heard the voice of the person standing next to the table gritting his teeth: "Damn thief, come to pay for my sixth brother's life!" Immediately, a fierce palm wind hit his face! Nangong Yun dodged away, but he was puzzled in his heart, what does it mean? Sixth brother?
When the masked man saw that Nangong Yun was silent, he became even more angry, and the moves in his hand changed frequently!
