I was supposed to be on a leisurely trip, but I was worried about holding a sword Chapter 35 Investigation in the city, planning to Xi
After leaving the restaurant, Ye Ling and Long Hao were walking along the street towards the four investigation points.
"Ling Ye, it seems that the pair of senior brothers and sisters of the White Cloud Sect are following us now. ”
"Well, I knew they were going to follow. ”
"Oh, then you already have a way to deal with it?"
"If my guess is correct, then Xiang Xi must have other plans, and on the other hand, we may cooperate with him. ”
Long Hao listened thoughtfully, "Then we should go to the farthest investigation point now?"
"No, let's just pretend we didn't find them, and I'd like to see what he thinks of these points?"
After a while, Ye Ling and Long Hao passed through the crowded flow of people and came to a private house, which was no different from other houses side by side from the outside.
It seems that he still underestimated the strength of the Chen family.
Ye Ling then summoned Xiao Ling and split the lock on the door.
After that, the two pushed the door in, and as soon as they stepped into the house, Ye Ling and Long Hao felt an inexplicable cold.
"Ling Ye, this place is a bit weird. At this time, Long Hao rubbed his arms and said.
Ye Ling nodded, and the two of them began to rummage through the room.
After a while, Ye Ling found a lamp on the dusty table that had not yet solidified, and Long Hao wanted to reach out and touch it when he saw this.
Seeing this, Ye Ling hurriedly stopped, "Don't touch it yet, there's something wrong with this thing." ”
Hearing this, Long Hao also took his hand back.
Ye Ling closed his eyes, thought for a while, and then opened his eyes and said, "Let's go to a few other places first." ”
"Ling Ye, what about here?"
"There are no useful clues here, I don't know how the Chen family is, and now it seems that they still have some important clues that they haven't told us. ”
As he spoke, he brushed his sleeves and wiped the dust off the table, but he did not wipe the dust off it.
Seeing this, Long Hao was puzzled, so he hurriedly asked, "Ling Ye, what are you?"
Immediately, Ye Ling put his index finger in front of his mouth and motioned to Long Hao not to speak, "Shhh, just wait and see." ”
Then Ye Ling and Long Hao walked out of the house without a word.
And this scene also fell in the eyes of Xiang Xi and Yun Yue.
"Senior brother, the two of them are gone, let's hurry up and follow. ”
At this time, Xiang Xi frowned, looked at Ye Ling and Long Hao, and ignored Yun Yue.
"No, you're waiting for me here, and now I'm going to see what's in that room."
After speaking, without waiting for Yun Yue to reply, he also entered the private house like Ye Ling and Long Hao. As soon as he entered the room, Xiang Xi noticed the difference between the lamps standing on the table.
Looking at the lamp on the table, Xiang Xi thought about it for a while, and stretched out his right hand towards the lamp, but when Xiang Xi's right hand was about to touch the lamp, the whole person suddenly stopped.
I saw that his face suddenly turned pale, and cold sweat broke out from his forehead, Xiang Xi slowly withdrew his hand, then nodded, and went out.
Here, Yun Yue watched Xiang Xi come out of the house, and hurriedly greeted him, "Senior brother." Yun Yue's body trembled slightly as she spoke.
"Let's go, those two will die at my hands sooner or later. ”
"Yes......"
At this time, on the other side of the city, Li Kuan and Xie Xiu were also in a dwelling. However, Li Kuan and Xie Xiu did not find any clues, and there was no oil lamp in this house like the one they found in the night before.
The things in this house are spotless, as if someone lives in it, but during the time when Li Kuan and Xie Xiu came in, the owner of this house happened to go out.
"Brother Xie, we have been looking for this place for a long time and have not found any clues, and I now feel that we are doing useless work here. ”
"Since we can't find any useful clues here, let's move on to the next place. ”
At that moment, a voice sounded, "I don't think the two brothers have to be like this. ”
Hearing the sound, he was ready to draw out his weapons and prepare to fight, and then Li Kuan and Xie Xiu looked at each other and found that it was Chen Tian.
It's to let your guard down.
"It turned out to be Brother Chen Tian, I don't know if you have any advice?"
Brother Li laughed, I couldn't talk about advice, but my father asked me to come over and invite the two brothers to the hall for a gathering. ”
"Others will go too?"
Chen Tian shook his head, "My father only called the two of them over, but I don't know if the two brothers are free now?"
"It's free, it's free, of course it's free, right?" he said and looked at Xie Xiu next to him.
Xie Xiu also nodded.
Seeing that Li Kuan and Xie Xiu in front of him had expressed their attitude, Chen Tian nodded, "Then dare to be kind, then let's go, I will call someone to clean up later." ”
"Oh, this is really troublesome Brother Chen Tian, the two of us don't want to go. ”
"Yes, it's better for me to clean up this place with Brother Xie Xiu later. ”
Hearing this, Chen Tian patted Li Kuan and Xie Xiu on the shoulders and said, "You don't have to be like this, I think the two brothers also take the affairs of my Chen family to heart, so they will do this." Let's go. ”
After saying that, he quietly glanced at the table in the room.
Then he and Li Kuan and Xie Xiu talked and laughed all the way and left here.
Soon after the three of them left, Sima Lie came here and looked at the dry well in the courtyard and the spotless hut room.
At this time, the housekeeper also came to this courtyard with a few servants, "Master Sima." ”
Sima Lie nodded, "What time is this?"
The butler replied, "Twelve hours, I wonder if you want to ask about that hour?"
"Hours".
"It's just past midday, and noon has arrived."
"The hour has come, and I am here for this very purpose."
After the code, the person who came knelt down on one knee and saluted: "I have seen my lord." ”
"How's it going?"
"Back to my lord, according to the investigation, although the Xiao family and the Zhang family have no superficial contacts recently, they have frequent contacts in secret. The day before yesterday, a convoy of the Xiao family went out of the city to Mingkong City, but his subordinates and others intercepted it. ”
Hearing this, Sima Lie raised his eyebrows, "Oh, what did you find in it?"
"The subordinates found a jade ruyi inside, and the rest were some ordinary goods, and nothing was found. At the same time, after the Xiao family's convoy was robbed this time, the Xiao family's convoy was not seen again in the past few days. ”
After saying that, he lowered his head.
And here, Sima Lie, when he heard the report of these people, couldn't help frowning, and then said: "We were tricked, I'm afraid that the Xiao family's convoy that you intercepted was simply deliberately intercepted by others on the road." ”
When these people heard this, they also looked at each other for a while, and they didn't dare to raise their heads.
"If my expectation is right, after the Xiao family's convoy was intercepted, the Zhang family's convoy that traveled at night after this was intercepted, although the Xiao family vaguely pointed the finger at the Zhang family, but it didn't really make any real moves, am I right?"
"Your Excellency is exactly right. ”
"What kind of jade Ruyi did you intercept, do you have it with you now?"
"This subordinate doesn't have it with him right now. ”
Sima Lie nodded when he heard this, "I will visit Xiao's house at night in the evening, and bring the jade ruyi you intercepted before to my room at the time of the day, can you hear clearly?"
"Follow your orders. ”
"Okay, now you can go back, you can't move the things here, if Chen Tian smells it, he will say that I asked you to do this."
"No".
After these people retreated, looking at the direction in which Chen Tian and the three of them had left, Sima Lie's face gradually became gloomy.
At this time, he turned to look in another direction, then grinned, and jumped out of the courtyard.
After a while, Ye Ling and Long Hao came here.
Seeing the scene in the courtyard at this time, the two knew that someone had already been here. Maybe he had just left, and seeing this, Ye Ling didn't plan to continue searching for clues here.
Then he found a relatively clean place in the courtyard and sat down.
"Ling Ye, aren't we looking for it?"
"I've been walking for so long, I'm tired, I'll rest for a while, Long Hao, if you're tired, you can also come and sit. ”
Ye Ling and Long Hao are both people who practice martial arts, how could they be tired because of walking so many steps, and Long Hao didn't believe that Ye Ling was tired.
However, Long Hao didn't make it clear, so he clasped his hands in front of his chest and stood in place like this.
After half an hour passed, Ye Ling suddenly said aloud: "Since you've been watching outside for so long, why don't you come in and talk?"
Hearing Ye Ling say this, Long Hao also looked out the door.
After more than a dozen breaths, Xiang Xi slowly stepped into the courtyard.
After standing still in the courtyard, Yunxi arched his hand and smiled: "Brother Ling, Brother Long, don't come to harm." Isn't it a bad time for me to appear here?"
Ye Ling smiled faintly: "So what does Brother Xiang think apart from this time, when is it appropriate?"
Immediately afterwards, Ye Ling said: "Say, what is the matter with the two of you, you will never really tell me, you are really here to see, right?"
"Hey, where is Brother Ling, I did have something to discuss with Brother Ling and Brother Long, and I hope you two don't refuse to be there. ”
As he spoke, he shook the folding fan that appeared in his right hand at some point, and he had the image of a turbid son.
At this time, Long Hao asked: "I don't know if Brother Xiang you have come all the way, but what new discoveries have you made?" I, Long Hao, am very curious. ”
Hearing this, Xiang Xi shook the folding fan in his hand, "As for what, don't you know it?"
Seeing that Xiang Xi was reluctant to speak, Long Hao wanted to ask Xiang Xi what the purpose of this trip was, but at this time, Ye Ling snatched Long Hao's words, "I don't know what Brother Xiang wants?"
At this time, Long Hao's face was a little gloomy.
And everything between Ye Ling and Long Hao was all looked at by Xiang Xi, and at this time Xiang Xi said slowly: "Xiang Xiang came to a certain institute for cooperation, but looking at the two now, it seems that there are some small problems." ”
"But it's okay to say", Ye Ling looked at Long Hao after speaking.
Long Hao nodded, "Yes."
However, the specific matters still have to wait for the two to come back alive from the Zhang family, and then explain to the two of them. ”
"Yes, if it's okay, Brother Xiang can leave on his own. After speaking, Ye Ling made a gesture of please.
Seeing that Ye Ling gave an eviction order, Xiang Xi also left with interest.
After seeing Xiang Xi disappear outside the door, Long Hao wanted to speak, but Ye Ling put his index finger on his mouth, signaling Long Hao not to make a sound, and blinked at the same time.
Then he got up and patted his ass and said, "The next thing is to please Brother Long." After speaking, Shi Shiran left the courtyard.
Left a bewildered Long Hao alone.
