Chapter 90: Cooperation
Xu Heng interrupted Kong Liancheng: "Before discussing the matter, the juniors have something unclear, and I would like to ask the seniors to guide you to find and determine our identity." “
The old Jianghu envoy of the Northern Ya glanced at the girl beside Xu Heng covertly, and snorted: "Please also ask the young man to forgive me, we old rivers and lakes always have some of our own means." ”
Was Xiaoxue's secret escape from the palace discovered by his father?
It seemed that due to some unspeakable reasons, Kong Liancheng was reluctant to say any more, and asked Xu Heng with his eyes if he had any other questions. The latter thoughtfully touched the girl's bun and made a continuing gesture to Kong Liancheng.
"The old man's intention, I have already said it just now," Kong Liancheng raised one finger, "One is the ghost town of Xudu," and then raised the second finger, "The second is the two bloody cases in the city." ”
"Originally, the first purpose was just the task of the old man's personal position, but when he investigated the second matter, he found that it was related to the two young heroes," Kong Liancheng saw that Xu Heng was still distracted, so he turned to Pu Feng, "Dare to ask if the bloody case of the thirty-three corpses above the Zhaocai Restaurant is related to the two of them?"
Pu Feng nodded and said, "Those thirty-three people are lying in ambush in the restaurant, trying to assassinate the two of us. ”
"The murderers are always killed, and since they are the ones who assassinated the two in the front, it is not wrong to kill the other party for self-preservation. Kong Liancheng paused, "It's just that the Bladeless Sword Master knows that they are all ghost soldiers?!"
Is it really someone from the ghost city faction of Xudu......
Pu Feng shook his head: "There was a guess, but there was no confirmation. The doubts that were discussed with Xu Heng before suddenly came to mind, "But why do they want to target us?"
"Maybe they've been eyeing you for a long time. ”
Kong Liancheng's words made several people present move their eyes to the girl sitting quietly beside Xu Heng at the same time, and then Xu Heng spoke: "Inspector Kong just said that there were two bloody cases in the city, I don't know where the second one happened, and is it related to us?"
"This second case," Kong Liancheng spoke, swept the eyes of the four people around him, suddenly paused, picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of water, before continuing, "This second bloody case has nothing to do with you on the surface, but in fact it is indeed related to everyone who came from afar in the city. ”
Then, Kong Liancheng told several people present about the murder of the corpses in the alley not far from the restaurant, and came to a conclusion: "There are people of unknown origin in the city who are secretly hunting visitors from other places." ”
"This visitor from other places naturally refers to the person who came from Shenjing to worship his ancestors. ”
Kong Liancheng said his guess, Xu Heng and Pu Feng glanced at each other covertly and did not speak, Su Su noticed the small movements between the two, so he opened his mouth to attract the attention of the other party: "But it doesn't make sense like this, what's the benefit of hunting those distinguished guests from Shenjing?"
"I don't know about that, maybe it's for this. ”
Kong Liancheng took out a white silk cloth wrapped package from his arms, he opened it carefully, and inside was a token slightly smaller than a palm, with a pure black body and a slender shape. The head is fusiform, shrinking from the head downwards and finally flattening at the bottom. In the middle of the upper part of the fusiform, there is an inscription of the word "ghost" in ancient seal style. Made of unknown materials, it is neither gold nor jade, and it is warm to the touch. If there is no light, it will be bright, and if it is welcome, it will be hidden.
This is what Xu Heng and the others wanted to find in the afternoon, Shangguan Tingxue had never seen it, and felt very novel, jumped up from the bench, leaned on the table and looked very carefully.
Children are mostly curious, no one pays much attention, and adults are still focused on the important things in front of them.
Kong Liancheng said: "The ghost on the corpse in the flesh alley is gone. ”
"What's the use of killing people and searching for ghosts?" Xu Heng picked up the girl and put her on the stool as he spoke.
Kong Liancheng leaned over slightly, and his voice was lowered: "Maybe it's the same as our purpose, we want to explore the bottom of the ghost city in Xudu." ”
We?
It's pretty smooth to use.
Xu Heng sneered in his heart, and refused without hesitation: "But Senior Kong, I'm sorry, we have decided to give up this operation." Because—"
As soon as the words fell, I heard a joyful cry from beside me: "It turns out that this is the ghost lead!"
Light snow?!
The girl was surprised to hold the black token in her hand and was overjoyed: "I also have one!"
The eyes of several people present were focused on the princess of the rivers and lakes, and the girl sent the token in her hand to everyone like a treasure, smiling like a flower.
Xu Heng looked at Su Su, who shook his head, and then glanced at Pu Feng, the Bladeless Sword Master and Xu Heng were equally confused. During the eye contact between the three of them, Kong Liancheng did not speak, but observed the expressions of everyone present with great interest, and his half-closed eyes were as bright as if he had found prey.
"Three young heroes, the old man thinks that since the other party has already set his sights on you, then there is no need to leave in such a hurry," After being silent for a long time, Kong Liancheng spoke out to attract the focus to himself again, "The old man has made a lot of preparations in the ghost city of Xudu, and he plans to take a good look tonight to see who is the god who built a ghost city in Dinghuan City to make trouble!"
The middle-aged man took out a stack of papers from his arms, put it on the table, and pushed it in front of Xu Heng:
Having said that, the purpose of the Beiya Patrol Envoy has long been clear, and Xu Heng and the others have already understood, but-
Xu Heng pushed the paper back to its owner: "Is Inspector Kong so confident in his arrangement?"
Kong Liancheng pushed the paper back again: "You always have to take some risks." ”
"Of course, if Xu Shaoxia is worried about the princess's safety, the old man can also use the power of Beiya to send the princess back to Shenjing. For the power of Beiya, the young man can rest assured, if there is a difference in the middle, the old man will come to see him. ”
"Don't, I don't, I want to be with my brothers and sisters!" Shangguan Tingxue held Xu Heng with one hand and Su Su with the other, and expressed her wishes with her clenched little fists, "I'll be fine, I still have ......"
Su Su touched the girl's head and blocked the rest of the princess's words back in her heart: "Xiaoxue's brother won't send Xiaoxue back, Xiaoxue is with us, and my sister protects Xiaoxue's safety." But Xiaoxue also has to listen to her sister, okay?"
"Okay, good, I like Sister Su the most!"
Xiaoxue happily hugged half of Su Su's body, and Su Su hugged the girl back and looked at Xu Heng. The latter shook his head helplessly, looked at Pu Feng, and saw that the bladeless sword master had no objections, so he said to Kong Liancheng: "Okay, I hope that the plan of the Kong Patrol Envoy is foolproof." ”
"At this point, the Chengying Sword Master can rest assured," a rare smile appeared on the face of the Beiya Patrol Envoy, "Tonight, the help of the four Jianghu heroes is even more powerful, and the result is twice the result with half the effort!"
The face that had been serious for many years smiled a little strangely, as if it was twitching.
"It's not nice to smile at all. Xu Heng thought secretly in his heart, but he still took the paper on the table and looked at it.
