（17）

In the middle of the night, the yellow-shirted girl Zhao Lingwei did not arrive for a long time. Yu Wenlei was very sleepy after a few days of hurrying, so he lay on the table and took a nap.

At this moment, only the window "squeak" was heard, which was especially loud in the quiet of the night, and Yu Wenlei woke up instantly and got up to greet him. Then the window was pushed open, and a figure jumped in, it was the maid Xiangyun.

Yu Wenlei looked puzzled, and was about to ask, but the maid put her hand to her mouth, made a silent gesture, tiptoed over, and whispered: "Don't talk, follow me." ”

After saying that, he walked to the window and jumped out. Yu Wenlei couldn't, so he had to follow the same path and jumped out.

The streets were empty and silent. Xiangyun walked in front like a light civet cat, shuttling through the streets and alleys. Yu Wenlei followed behind, concentrating on his breath, a few jumped over, landed next to her, and asked in a low voice, "Miss Xiangyun, where are you going to take me?"

Xiangyun smiled in a low voice and replied: "Yuwen Shaoxia, I am not afraid of a girl, what are you afraid of, my young lady is waiting in front." She had planned to go to the inn to look for you, but she was afraid that someone would bump into you and spread the word and damage her reputation, so she ordered me to invite you out. ”

Yu Wenlei nodded, thoughtfully, he opened his mouth and asked, "May I ask what is the matter with your young lady?"

Xiang Yun said vaguely, "I don't know about this, Miss didn't tell me, she just told me to take you out." Oh, there it is. As he spoke, he pointed with his hand ahead.

Yu Wenlei looked in the direction of her finger, and faintly saw that there was a ruined mansion in front of him.

Xiang Yun didn't go to the main entrance, looked for a low wall, turned over and jumped into the courtyard, Yu Wenlei was suspicious, so he had to follow into the wall.

The two stepped on the dead branches and leaves, and walked through the dilapidated and old courtyard. After a while, in front of the main room, Xiangyun said, "My young lady is waiting inside, come in." Yu Wenlei was full of suspicions, but he had no choice but to push the door and enter the room.

The room was pitch black, and I couldn't see my fingers. Yu Wenlei opened his mouth and shouted, "Girl, where are you?"

Who knows, as soon as he spoke, he felt a tightness under his feet, as if he was entangled in a rope. Once the rope is gaining momentum, it will be lifted upward.

Yu Wenlei was shocked in his heart, but fortunately he was prepared, although he was not shocked. With a flick of his hand, an extra dart talisman appeared in his palm, and then he turned into a dart, arched his body upward, waved his hand and slashed it on his ankle, and with a "boom", the rope was broken, and he fell from the air.

At the moment of landing, Yu Wenlei supported the ground with both hands, and with a flick of his strength, he stood up. After he stood firmly, he took out a few paper talismans with both hands and shouted, "What kind of person, don't show up quickly!"

There was a cold snort from the beam of the room, and suddenly the lights turned on, and a person turned over and fell with a candle, it was Zhao Lingwei, a girl in a yellow shirt during the day.

Zhao Lingwei put the candle flame on the table and said with a calm face: "You first destroyed my Moon Cover in Fenglai Town, one of the crimes, and then insulted me in public in Anping Mansion, the second crime, and just now you were arrested, the third crime." How do you say I should punish you? Do you want my father to put you in prison, or send you to the border, or just cut off your head? ”

Yu Wenlei was embarrassed, his face turned red, and he snorted and said, "I will definitely try my best to help you repair the spiritual weapon, as for ......"

Seeing this scene, Zhao Lingwei laughed and said, "This is what you said, I didn't force you." ”

Yu Wenlei saw that her anger seemed to have disappeared, and the guilt in his heart suddenly disappeared, and he hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare, I should be like this." ”

Zhao Lingwei put away her smile and said cautiously: "In this case, you must promise me three conditions." The first is, accompany me to find the materials for the restoration of Aya. This second one...... "The girl seemed to have something unspeakable, pacing back and forth in the room, and after careful consideration, she said: "The second one is, you help me find out what my father and eldest brother are doing behind their backs." ”

Yu Wenlei was stunned and said: "The first one is naturally I try my best to help, and the second one I ......" Speaking of this, Yu Wenlei kept silent, after all, this is the family affairs of the Zhao City Lord, and it is inconvenient for outsiders to interfere.

Zhao Lingwei Bingxue was smart, and immediately realized Yu Wenlei's thoughts, and said: "If it's just a private matter between my father and my eldest brother, I always feel that things are not so simple, it seems that there is a great conspiracy here." Do you know why I showed up early in the day in Fenglai Town?"

Yu Wenlei shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

Zhao Lingwei glanced at him, made up her mind and continued: "This matter has to start from more than a month ago. ”

Another month ago? Yu Wenlei was shocked, but his face still did not change, and he listened to her continue:

"You should have also heard from the Yuelai Inn, that's right, I am the daughter of the city lord of Anping City, Zhao Lingwei. My father Zhao Xuanlang is the lord of this Anping City, my mother died in childbirth when she gave birth to me, and the only relic left for me is the seven-foot moon covered Aya. ”

Yu Wenlei lowered his head and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry." ”

Zhao Lingwei waved his hand and motioned for him to continue listening: "My eldest brother's name is Zhao Tianlin, and he is the son-in-law you saw in Anping Mansion during the day. Don't look at his courteous attire, he looks powerless, in fact, he was sent out by his father to practice when he was very young, and he only came back in the last year. However, I don't know where the eldest brother was sent to practice.

As for me, my father said that it was not suitable for a daughter's family to go out to practice, so he left me in the house and invited the master of Wanshou Palace to teach me. Master said that I am no different from ordinary people, and I was born with no spiritual energy, but fortunately, I have the moon covering Aya left by my mother, and it doesn't hurt to specialize in spiritual weapons. This moon aya was passed on to her by her mother's mother, and it has always been only passed on to women and not men, so after my mother's death, it naturally became my talisman. ”

"My father is diligent in political affairs and cares little for me, and my eldest brother does not return to the house all the year round, and the subordinates are even more submissive to me and dare not be disobedient, so I gradually developed my withdrawn and eccentric character. In fact, I don't really want to hurt people in my heart, but I just want to be competitive in face. ”

Yu Wenlei said in a shallow voice: "I can see that you are not bad in nature, otherwise you would not have framed me and Uncle Chu with fake wind and rain memories." Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered that there was no news from Chuzhuang, and sighed again.

Zhao Lingwei smiled and said, "What's the matter, your Uncle Chu hasn't been found yet, he shouldn't be afraid of me and absconded in fear of crime." ”

Yu Wenlei shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be, Uncle Chu must have something important to do, so he left suddenly." You should go on and tell why you are in Fenglai Town. ”

Zhao Lingwei was ordered to be unhappy, glanced at Yu Wenlei, and then thought about it or gave up, and stopped worrying about him.

Then he continued: "At the beginning of last month, in the Immortal Forest, I finally turned the Moon Concealment into a spiritual treasure with the help of Master, so I parted ways with Master and hurried back to the mansion. When I returned, I found that my father and eldest brother were not at home.

At this time, Xiang Yun reported to me that the city lord was in the backyard, and no one was allowed to go in to disturb him. I was very strange at the time, this backyard has long been deserted, only one dungeon has been abandoned, what can my father do in the backyard? So I hurried with Xiangyun to see what was going on. ”

Zhao Lingwei paused for a moment, and then said: "Who knew that I had just arrived at the gate of the backyard, and I was blocked back by the guards, I was furious and wanted to break in." At this time, my father hurriedly walked out of it and coaxed me to the front yard.

When my spirit treasure first became a treasure, I was already full of joy, so I didn't take it seriously, and just asked him casually, 'What is Daddy busy doing in the backyard?' Then he wanted to send me away, but I later asked him where his eldest brother was, and he just said that his eldest brother had something to do and would return tomorrow, so he left in a hurry.

Later, it was common for people to carry some wood into the backyard, and I initially thought that my father was really building a lot of construction and renovating the backyard. Unexpectedly, one day, Xiangyun quietly reported to me that the pieces of wood carried into the backyard turned out to be coffins one by one. ”

Yu Wenlei was taken aback and asked, "Could it be a coffin for the dead?"

Zhao Lingwei nodded and said, "Exactly." At that time, I asked Xiang Yun if she had seen it clearly, and Xiang Yun said hesitantly, she just glanced at it from a distance, and it looked like a coffin. I wanted to ask my father and eldest brother about it, but then I thought that if they wanted to hide it from me, I would just ask, and I guess they wouldn't tell the truth.

So he paid close attention and observed secretly. It is estimated that it was the last time Xiang Yun exposed his bottom, which attracted the attention of his father and eldest brother, and he never saw the coffin transported back to the house again, but the two of them took turns to go to the backyard more diligently. ”

"I pretended not to know, I wanted to secretly follow my father and eldest brother, but their cultivation was far above me, and I couldn't get close at all.

Just when I had nothing to do, one of Xiangyun's sisters, called Qiuyue, was serving tea to my father, and overheard my father and eldest brother talking about it, saying that this batch of goods was collected from the village below Fenglai Town and had to be taken by water.

Qiuyue was curious about what kind of goods it was, because she was a native of Zhangqiao Village, near Fenglai Town, and she didn't think that there were any treasures in her hometown that would enter the eyes of the city lord. She became more and more curious, and told Xiangyun about it in small talk.

Xiangyun felt that there was a lot of article in it, so she reported it to me. You will know what happened later, I hurried to Fenglai Town, strictly inspected the passing ships, and ended up fighting with you, not to mention destroying my Hidden Moon Aya, and in the end I found nothing. ”

Yu Wenlei listened to Zhao Lingwei say all this, thought about it again and again, and asked tentatively: "Miss Zhao, what do you mean ......?"

Zhao Lingwei suddenly interrupted him and said, "Don't call me Miss Zhao, just call me Lingwei in the future." I wonder what your parents called you?"

Yu Wenlei was reluctant, so he had to say: "I have no parents since I was a child, it was my grandfather who raised me as an adult, and my grandfather sometimes called me Ah Lei, and sometimes called me Lei'er." ”

"It turned out to be an orphan without a father and mother! Well, I will be your eldest sister from now on, and we will be called sisters and brothers. You will call me Sister Wei, I will call you Brother Lei, and from now on, I will cover you in this Anping City. Zhao Lingwei said suddenly.

Yu Wenlei didn't want to reveal his secrets, so he immediately changed the conversation and said, "Then what should we do next?"

Zhao Lingwei flipped her hand, took out the red silk that was broken in two, and said, "I must repair this moon silk first." Tomorrow morning, you will accompany me to the Immortal Forest, as long as you pass the test of the Illusion Immortal, he will conjure up a pool of clear water, and then throw the spirit weapon into it, and within a moment or three, the Moon Cover Aya will be as intact as ever. ”

Yu Wenlei was relieved and said, "It's so easy!"

Zhao Lingwei glanced at him and said: "Easy or difficult, you will know when you go tomorrow! After we repair the moon covering, we will go to the villages near Fenglai Town to inquire and find out if the villagers have sold any goods to Anping City recently."

This third step, and the most crucial step, is for you to accompany me to the dungeon in the backyard to find out what secrets there are. Originally, during the daytime today, Xiangyun and I planned to lock you up there, just to take advantage of the situation to check it, but I didn't expect to be seen through by my eldest brother. Now that he was alerted, it was estimated that it would be even more difficult to get in. Seeing that they are so mysterious and secretive, I really don't know what kind of fame they are doing in it, and I hope that they will not endanger the people. ”

Yu Wenlei was just about to speak out to comfort him, when Xiang Yun pushed the door in and said, "Miss, it's been the fourth watch, we won't go back, in case the city lord and the young city lord know, we will give up all our efforts." Besides, Yuwen Gongzi has been running around for a day, so he should rest early, and won't he accompany you to the Immortal Trace Forest tomorrow?"

Zhao Lingwei nodded and said, "It's okay, you will wait for me at the dock early tomorrow morning, and you will see you or leave." After speaking, he left in a hurry with Xiangyun.

Yu Wenlei waited for the two to go far away, also blew out the candles, turned over the wall, and rushed towards the inn.
