Chapter 164: Generations of Critical Places
They conducted secret investigations in Luoyang for several days, and there was only one target - the Heluo Sword Sect.
Lu Yuansi and Yin Qixiu worked hard to find out the connection between the Gu family and the Heluo Sword Sect, or evidence that could prove that the swordsmen in the Heluo Sword Sect were acting as killers for Sangu.
The elopement was just an excuse, Yin Jiheng knew the real purpose of their trip, in fact, he was not very much in favor of it, because he and Yin Qixiu knew what they had planned before, and after finding out the Heluo Sword Sect and the Gu family, they might also involve his Yin family.
The reason why Yin Jiheng agreed was only because he wanted to use this action to temporarily contain the Gu family and make Sangu fearful, so that he could have the remaining space to clear the fog of the "Immortal Sect Incident" while he was busy implementing the business management policy......
The haze of "Immortalism" is still spreading in Chang'an City......
How many officials and businessmen have been attacked or even killed......
It was nothing short of a frenzied and horrific slaughter......
Even Yin Jiheng's side is in danger at any time, and a double unicorn mark can emerge from his political hall from time to time, and there are abnormal movements at every turn, which makes him difficult to stabilize, so that he is in a trance.
……
It was dark, and in Luoyang City, they rode into the city again after a day of running, and went to the inn where they had stayed temporarily for a few days to rest.
Lu Yuansi was a little frustrated, on this day, she and Yin Qixiu secretly followed several teams of the Heluo Dart Bureau, and also took the risk of pretending to be people from their own faction, intending to find out the news from the inside, but they tried their best to get any useful information. Whether it is the Heluo Sword Sect, the Heluo Dart Bureau or the Hong family, they all look so decent and normal.
Yin Qixiu began to wonder if there was a problem with their tracking direction, and when he mentioned it to her, she was furious and misinterpreted his meaning, thinking that he felt that they should not investigate the Heluo Sword Sect, so he fought with him, and ignored him on the way back to the city.
Yin Qixiu just felt that their current investigation method was a bit blind, after all, the Heluo Sword Sect was so big, the swordsmen of the Sword Sect were all over the world, and the footprints of the Dart Bureau were also all over the mountains and rivers, which group was a normal dart master swordsman? Which group was the killer lurking in the dark? How can this be distinguished?
And Lu Yuansi's attitude is simply to the point of extreme persistence, the more persistent he is, the easier it is to lose his mind.
When they arrived at the inn, the bodyguards they had brought with them were already waiting for them. During the day, they acted separately as itinerant vendors, quietly infiltrating the corners of Luoyang City, staring at the more famous masters of the Heluo Sword Sect, wanting to find out if they might be involved in the killer operation.
Today it is nothing.
After listening to their report, Lu Yuansi couldn't suppress her anger at all, and went out directly and went back to her own room, leaving Yin Qixiu alone to face them awkwardly.
This time, they brought out the Yin family's own guards, loyal to the Yin family, and they were all very capable, so they didn't find anything useful, Yin Qixiu could understand, he only hated the Heluo Sword Sect and hid it very deeply. He told the guards to go downstairs to rest, and for safety reasons, they rang the bell and took care of it at night.
Others still don't know the identity of Lu Yuansi's daughter, and after she and Yin Qi came out, they slept in separate rooms. Yin Qixiu couldn't rest assured of her, and went to her room to see her, she fell on the couch, turned her back to him, and ignored her.
Yin Qixiu didn't say much, just lay down in his clothes beside her to relieve his tiredness a little.
After a long time, she simply closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, the nameless fire in her heart was still scurrying, and she felt that Yin Qixiu next to her turned sideways and untied the belt around her waist, she still didn't move, and let him loosen her robe.
Then pull the quilt open and cover her.
The movements are gentle and careful.
The cold, stiff and tired body felt the warmth of the bed, and she closed her eyes tighter, and curled up to the innermost part of the bed, as if trying to hide herself.
Yin Qixiu knew that she hadn't slept, so he leaned over and hugged her from behind, his chin against her shoulder, and whispered in her ear: "Don't worry, you know, we must win in the end." ”
She finally settled down inside, turned sideways to face him, threw herself into his arms without a word, buried her face in his chest, and slept peacefully.
On a cold night in Luoyang, they hugged each other for warmth, and she knew that he was all she had.
……
In the early winter of the cold wind, the night and moon were sleepless, and a silver-white edge pierced the dark color of the room. In the deep and quiet inn, black figures landed on the corridor, quickly and silently approaching their target.
They are like low-key wolves, quietly staring at their prey......
Just when the prey tried to hunt them......
Their eyes have long been quietly locked on the target, just waiting to fight back and catch the opponent off guard.
When the door was pried open and bolted to the ground, Lu Yuansi was alert first, and when she opened her eyes, the white mang of the long sword came straight towards her, and she screamed and woke up Yin Qixiu.
The three killers rushed towards them together, they rolled down from the bed and dodged their crazy attacks in a panic, Yin Qi repaired Lu Yuansi, resisted the killers, and moved out of the door.
These killers are fierce and deadly, and they are all bad people, and every action at this time is thrilling enough for them.
Lu Yuansi's eyes were quick, and while shouting for help, he grabbed the golden bell hanging at the head of the bed, rang the bell hard, and the guards downstairs rushed up together as quickly as possible.
While fleeing for his life, Yin Qixiu was injured in the arm by the killer's sword, and Lu Yuansi was almost killed by the sword. Fortunately, the people they bring are not idle people, and they have the advantage of having a large number of people.
After they escaped from the room, the guards and the killer engaged in a fierce fight in the house, and everyone else in the inn was alarmed, and the shopkeeper hurriedly reported to the officer.
Seeing that there were many people on the other side, the three killers finally fled in defeat and escaped through the window of the house.
After the danger was lifted, Lu Yuansi was still trembling, and he had not yet recovered from the shock just now.
The guards hurriedly took medicine and bandaged Yin Qixiu, and one of the guards with the highest martial arts in the rivers and lakes said to Yin Qixiu: "Son, I just humbled with those few people and tried out their martial arts moves, which is the swordsmanship of the Heluo Sword Sect......"
Yin Qixiu listened, thought for a while, and said solemnly: "We have been exposed...... While we were staring at them, they had already discovered our ......"
He turned his head to look at Lu Yuansi, who was sluggish next to him, and said: "This should be the intention of the Gu family, otherwise they won't kill us, Yuanxin, don't you say? The Gu family must know that we are still secretly investigating them, so they want to kill ......us in Luoyang City."
Lu Yuansi didn't respond, his eyes were distracted, Yin Qixiu thought she was frightened and wanted to comfort her, but he saw her suddenly laugh.
"Great!" she got up from the stool, ignoring the pain on her body, her eyes were blazing, and her eyes suddenly brightened: "Isn't this just proven? Our guess is right! The Heluo Sword Sect has joined forces with the Gu family and acted as a tool for them to kill!" Help Sangu complete the conspiracy they planned!"
They are not sure what this conspiracy is, but at least they are clear about this first step, their suspicions are right, and the direction of their investigation is also right.
Yin Qixiu nodded and said: "Hong Luotian, the head of the Heluo Sword Sect, has a deep friendship with the Gu family, if he wants to help Sangu act, he who is rarely in the Chang'an base camp and is in Luoyang, must have specially cultivated a group of killers for Sangu, hiding in Chang'an City, and calling them at any time, and on the bright side, these two aspects pretend to have little intersection, and the Heluo Sword Sect uses the righteous and bright dart business as a cover, far away from Chang'an, and does not attract attention, so it is difficult to suspect them......"
"That's right!" Lu Yuansi couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart: "It must be so!"
"Qi Xiu, we were wrong, we shouldn't focus our investigation on Luoyang, but on Chang'an! Most of those killers are in Chang'an, and Hong Luotian is also in Chang'an at this time!"
He asked, "What do you mean...... Should we return to Chang'an immediately?"
"Yes! It doesn't matter if we startle the snakes, don't they want to kill us? Just come and kill us! I'm not afraid to use myself as bait to catch the evidence of their crimes! We will pretend to be frightened by this assassination, flee back to Chang'an, and ask your father, Prime Minister, for help! As long as we can go back alive, there will definitely be a way to lure out their killers hiding in Chang'an City, and only in Chang'an City can we have the strength to confront them!"
