Chapter 103: Invited to the appointment
If you look closely at the token, it has a regular pentagonal shape. Each side has a color, which is blue, red, purple, blue, and yellow, representing the five spirits of water, fire, thunder, wind, and earth. There is a big word "Alliance" in the middle, and anyone who reads it will know that this is the token used by the Five Spirits Immortal Alliance Alliance.
"Forgive me for being stupid, I can't tell if this Five Spirits Order is true or not. Ximen Hong said, "But I think that the token of Wuling Immortal Alliance should not appear in the hands of an ordinary subordinate casually." ”
"We have here, only my sister is from the Five Spirit Immortal Sect. You Qingshang looked at Zhen Yingying, "Or, sister, you go and take a look?"
"Hmm~" Zhen Yingying took the token and looked back and forth for a while: "This token is indeed a counterfeit, but it was imitated by the people of the Five Spirit Immortal Sect themselves." ”
"Huh?" Chen Hanyu and the others were stunned when they heard this.
"That's the case...... Zhen Yingying explained, "The Five Spirit Immortal Alliance has a rule, if there is an urgent matter that needs to mobilize everyone, and there is no token in hand, you can use some easily available specific materials to imitate a piece and use it to issue orders. ”
"Isn't that something anyone can imitate?" Chen Hanyu asked.
"No...... Zhen Yingying shook her head, "The imitation token can only take effect if it is marked by the head of each faction." When she said this, she sent the token to Chen Hanyu and them, only to see that on the back of the token, under the red side, there was a black thread mark.
"Fingerprints?" Chen Hanyu's pupils shrank.
"Red Mark......" You Qingshang muttered, "Wei Yongping's?"
Zhen Yingying nodded: "This mark can't be faked." ”
Chen Hanyu understands what Zhen Yingying means, and in the modern era where he originally lived, fingerprints are widely used as a status symbol in many fields. And in this surreal world, many people can change their appearance, body shape and even breath. But I haven't heard of anyone who can change fingerprints, or even imitate other people's fingerprints.
After all, the difference between fingerprints and body shape is much easier to judge than the appearance and body shape. And if you want to change such a subtle thing, it is definitely not something that ordinary masters can do casually.
"So, they are from the Hengshan Flame Sect?" Ximen Hong frowned, "But Wei Yongping doesn't look like this kind of petty thief?"
"I don't think it's possible. Zhen Yingying said as she looked at the token, "Maybe they used some means to steal his mark when the head of Wei was not paying attention." ”
Several people fell silent, and if so, the matter did not seem to be so simple.
"Let's put it aside for now. Now this situation will not be found out for a while. After a moment of silence, Chen Hanyu proposed.
"yes, there's something else going on tomorrow......" You Qingshang sighed.
Seeing this, Ximen Hong said: "In this case, you should go back first! If there are any clues at that time, I will send someone to inform you." As he spoke, he added, "The beggars need to be careful." ”
"Thank you Senior Ximen for reminding me!" Chen Hanyu arched.
When they went back this time, Chen Hanyu and Ding Jianling, Gu Yuxing and others also discussed this matter a little. According to those disciples, the four Dharma Protector Elders of the Beggar Gang who were responsible for protecting the gang leader were all killed. The body is in a different place, and the death is horrible to see. Seeing their dead eyes, they were full of horror and seemed to have a little anger.
After the examination of the head of the stick and the head of the palm bowl, it seems that the elders had been poisoned by a drug called Xu Feng Crispy Gusan before they died. As a result, their qi was sealed, their bodies were soft, and they had no power to resist, so they were beheaded and killed.
In addition, there is another thing that also makes Chen Hanyu and others angry. That is Fang Chengjun, a law enforcement elder, who has never shown up from beginning to end. The disciples came to the door several times, and the reply they got was that Fang Chengjun was doing something and it was inconvenient to be disturbed.
So many things happened suddenly, Fang Chengjun was able to ignore them so calmly. This abnormal behavior naturally aroused the suspicion of Chen Hanyu and others. Zhen Yingying even said that she would rush directly into Fang Chengjun's residence to see what ulterior secrets this guy was hiding. But in the end, after everyone's discussion, they still felt that such a reckless action was inappropriate. Therefore, until dawn the next day, everyone failed to see Fang Chengjun.
This night is destined to be a sleepless night. The entire beggar gang was in a panic, and the disciples couldn't sleep all night. finally survived until sunrise in the east, and nothing happened to the beggars.
On this day, it was the day when You Qingshang and them were invited to the appointment. Chen Hanyu and several women walked to the door of the beggars' main altar together, and they were about to break up with them and say goodbye.
"Brother Hanyu, the matter of the beggar gang in the past few days has troubled you. Before parting, Gu Yuxing said to Chen Hanyu again.
Chen Hanyu smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and patted Gu Yuxing's shoulder: "Okay, Xiaojing, you have told me about this topic for the third time!"
"That's also because Chen Zhu doesn't make things reassuring. Zhen Yingying teased.
Chen Hanyu glanced at Zhen Yingying, then looked at Gu Yuxing and said, "You must be careful on the road, after all, there are still people staring at you......"
Chen Gongzi was relieved. You Qingshang smiled, "It's only three hours from this road to that side, and in broad daylight, no one should dare to start." ”
"That's it~" Ding Jianling also said, "No matter how you say it, not a few of us can be bullied by anyone." ”
Chen Hanyu smiled faintly: "That's okay, when you're done, come to the branch of the six doors here to find me." ”
Although Chen Hanyu said that he would help Xiaojing deal with some of the affairs of the beggar gang, he was not a member of the beggar gang after all, and it was impossible for him to directly interfere in the internal affairs of the beggar gang. When the gang leader leaves, the main matter of the beggar gang must still fall on Fang Chengjun and other elders. At most, Chen Hanyu often came to ask, and more time should be spent at his six doors.
Looking at the figure of the four girls in the distance, Chen Hanyu's face remained unchanged, and he muttered to himself: "It's better to leave, so that I can let go of my hands and feet to investigate this matter." ”
On the side of the four women, because the meeting place they made with each other was not in Guizhou, they had to perform light skills and move forward quickly along the way. The four of them have different levels of skill, and there is also a big difference in the speed of light skills. Therefore, while performing light skills, sometimes you have to slow down a little and take care of your slower partner. But even so, their light work was still surprisingly fast, and it was originally planned to take three hours, but in the end, it only took a little more than two hours to reach their destination.
Liucheng Town, a small town located south of Guizhou. As a small town in the south, Liucheng Town is far away from Jingshi, the area is remote, and the population is relatively sparse compared to other places.
As soon as the four girls arrived in Liucheng, they immediately inquired about the largest inn in Liucheng - Liuzhou Inn.
"A few guest officers, do you want to stay in the hotel?" the shopkeeper saw a few beautiful girls coming in. Hurriedly greeted him.
"May I ask if the master of the Splendid Pavilion has arrived?" You Qingshang asked.
"It's already six," the shopkeeper said enthusiastically, "It turns out that a few people are also from the rivers and lakes, please come here~"
After the shopkeeper said this, he quickly turned around and walked in front of the four girls to lead the team. I have to say that when I saw these beautiful girls, even the second child of this shop was a little moved. However, when he heard that they were going to the Splendid Pavilion, he immediately knew that the people in front of him were not easy to mess with. Therefore, he didn't dare to stare at a few people anymore, for fear that his gaze would be too presumptuous and annoy these people, and he couldn't afford the consequences.
Following the shopkeeper all the way inside, the four girls arrived at the best guest rooms in this inn. The rooms here are divided into five classes, the lowest only has simple beds and furnishings, the second class bed will be slightly more comfortable, the medium bed size is a little larger, the top one has added some tables, chairs and tea sets, and the most class, that is, the guest room named after the word "pavilion", has the largest area, and each "pavilion" has an independent courtyard, as well as two small rooms.
There are a total of 3412 rooms in this inn. They are the East Three Pavilions, the West Three Pavilions, the South Three Pavilions and the North Three Pavilions. Due to the different designs, the room in the middle of the three pavilions is generally the best. The "Splendid Pavilion" chosen by the other party is a guest room in the center of the South Third Pavilion.
Such a room is not so easy for ordinary people to book. Not only is it expensive, but the people who generally live in this kind of room are big people with heads and faces in the rivers and lakes. Obviously, since the other party can book the best room like "Splendid Pavilion", his status must be not small.
"Several, this is the Splendid Pavilion. The shopkeeper pointed to a pair of cyan gates in the center of the south and said.
"Okay, you can go. You Qingshang responded.
Generally speaking, without the request of the guest room residents, the people in the store are not allowed to walk into the outer part of the guest room. Therefore, as long as You Qingshang and the others saw the gate of the Splendid Pavilion, they let the shopkeeper leave.
The fourth girl immediately walked to the door, and You Qingshang stepped forward and knocked lightly on the door a few times: "Knock knock~"
As there was a knock on the door, a chuckle immediately came from the room: "Eh~ It seems that a friend of the righteous path is here!"
Before the sound fell, the cyan door had quietly opened. A small figure in a long aqua green dress leaned out of it.
"The little woman, Luan Jingwen, has seen several sisters. The girl said in a very crisp voice.
"Hehe~ My sister is too enthusiastic. You Qingshang responded with a smile and walked into the courtyard with the three girls.
As soon as she entered this courtyard, the four girls immediately had a feeling of eye-opening. At the end of a stone road covered with green grass, I saw a rockery standing on a large circular pool. The streams trickle down the mountain, and one of them turns into a small waterfall, which arcs through the air and falls on the windmill at the edge of the pool, splashing a splash.
Under a pear tree by the pool, there was an octagonal pavilion, and five women were already sitting in it. Sitting across from the gate was a woman of about twenty-five years of age, dressed in a grass-green dress. Looking at this woman's appearance, she is somewhat similar to Luan Jingwen who opened the door. speculated, it should be Luan Jingwen's sister, Luan Jingxi, the eldest lady of Baiyaofang.
On the two sides on the left, there were four women, closest to Luan Jingxi was a young woman in a pale yellow dress, then a woman in red, a woman in blue, and a woman in purple. Among the four women, it seems that the woman in the yellow dress has the highest status, and the fancy on the dress is also the most unique. The costumes of the other three girls are almost the same, except for the different colors, it is impossible to see who has a higher status. However, in terms of age, the woman in red seems to be the oldest among them, followed by the woman in blue, and the woman in purple is the youngest, looking only seventeen or eighteen years old.
"Sure enough, it is right. When the woman in yellow saw You Qingshang and the others coming in, she chuckled again. It seems that the sentence before opening the door is what she said.
"This is Tang Shuiruo, the eldest lady of the Tang Sect. Seeing that the four girls were all looking at the woman in yellow, Luan Jingwen hurriedly introduced, "The one in front is the sister of the family, and then the three next to Sister Shui Ruo are Miss Dongfang Changxiu, Miss Nangong Baixue and Miss Beitang Zijin of the Northern Tang Family. ”
Listening to her introduction, the four girls also understood that the four women on the left were all young ladies from the Tang Sect, no wonder there were many similarities in their clothes.
Tang Gate, a well-known secret weapon in the rivers and lakes, in addition to the Tang family with the highest status, also has four major families in the southeast, northwest and northwest, namely the Oriental family, the Ximen family, the Nangong family, and the Northern Tang family. The status of the four major families is equal, except for Ximen Hong, the head of the Ximen family, who is relatively young, about early thirties, and the other three heads of the family are all over half a hundred years old. Each of the three families has a daughter, who is almost the same age as Tang Shuiruo, the eldest lady of the Tang family, so they are nicknamed "the four flowers of the Tang Gate" by the Jianghu people.
"It turned out to be Miss Tang!" Zhen Yingying showed a meaningful smile, "I wonder how Miss Tang knows that we are from the righteous path?"
"What's so difficult about this?" Tang Shuiruo smiled slightly, "You can hear it from your knock on the door." ”
"In this way, you evil people don't knock on the door when they enter. Ding Jianling said lightly.
As if sensing the provocation in Ding Jianling's words, Dongfang Changxiu raised his eyebrows: "This is what you said, when our sisters came here, they really didn't knock on the door, because Sister Luan brought us in." ”
Feeling that the two sides seemed to be arguing, Luan Jingxi hurriedly came out to play a round: "Okay, okay, it's not easy for a few people to come from afar, hurry up and come and sit!"
Seeing that someone came out to speak, the four girls didn't continue to talk to the four flowers of the Tang Sect. walked into the pavilion together and sat on the right side of the Luan sisters.
"Sister, everyone is almost here!" Luan Jingxi looked at Luan Jingwen and asked.
"The Young Master of the Divine Sect hasn't arrived yet!" Luan Jingwen said, "Then Danxia's Yuan girl probably won't be able to come, and her father won't let her take this risk." ”
When Luan Jingwen said this, she seemed to want to say more, but at this moment, she suddenly remembered something, stopped suddenly, and covered her mouth slightly with her hand.
As she covered her mouth, the atmosphere around her seemed to change suddenly. Luan Jingxi, Tang Shuiruo and the others were all stunned, and their faces suddenly froze for a moment, making You Qingshang and the four of them look confused, and they didn't know what was going on.
After a long while, Luan Jingxi moved her body slightly, seemed to calm down again, and asked lightly: "She didn't respond?"
Hearing her sister's inquiry, before Luan Jingwen could speak, Tang Shuiruo had a gloomy face and said coldly: "Don't mention her!"
There was silence again...... Until Luan Jingxi sighed faintly......
"Okay, don't mention her ......"
