Recommended Reading:
As soon as it was dawn in Beiping City, someone walked to the door of a family with a long baggage, knocked on the door, and after a while, a maid opened the door, and the person said, "Is it the residence of the second lady of the Shen family?" ”
The maid said, "Yes, exactly." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The man handed over the package and said, "This is a bow that Miss Shen ordered, and my master entrusted me to send it." The maid took the package, sent it to the courtyard, knocked on the door, and said, "Miss, the bow has been delivered." ”
Miss Shen Ruowan had already finished dressing, opened the door, took the package and opened it to take a look, sure enough, it was an unusually delicate horn bow, and after waiting for many months, she finally waited until this bow was ready, and it cost hundreds of taels of silver. ”
These two maids were given to her by Zhu Di, the king of Yan, and they originally had some martial arts, but Miss Shen didn't want their martial arts to come in handy, just let them do some chores. She also often went out to run errands by herself throughout the day and met with her brothers. However, according to today's agreement, it was her brothers who came to her.
Sure enough, after a while, the door sounded, the maid went to open the door, Lu Yueming and He Tingyu, as well as Long Ji, Yao Shaoyong, Qian Wuyi and others walked in, and walked to the inner room with Miss Shen, where a large table had been placed, just so that these people could make a table.
Miss Shen said first: "Brothers have worked hard, but now we can't help but complain, only to do this well, let's talk about what we know so far." ”
Lu Yueming said first: "At present, it seems that the only good news is that the purple jade Guanyin is still in Beiping City and has not been shipped out. ”
Qian said unintentionally: "That's what they said." ”
Long Ji thought for a moment and said, "I think we still need to figure it out, who is going to fight against us, against Yan Wang Chitose?" ”
Miss Shen stretched out her hand to stop him and said, "In this way, let's talk about them one by one, let's talk about who it is, and we can't get along with Yan Wang Chitose."
Lu Yueming said: "I think this matter is related to the old and young remnants of the Yuan Dynasty in Beiping City. ”
Long Ji also said: "Yes, the group of people I broke back then, especially the Taoist priest in green shirts, they obviously wanted to confuse the public through evil words, and promote the idea of pro-Yuan among the people, I saw with my own eyes that they received the money of the Northern Yuan, eight coins of silver in a month, and now that person is directly involved in the theft of Ziyu Guanyin, and he wants to kill me, this is definitely him." ”
Yao Shaoyong said: "And those people in Beiping City have been making a lot of trouble recently, and they can't suppress it, to be honest, I think there is definitely someone behind this, and that is Beiyuan." ”
Miss Shen shook her head and said, "The biggest headache now is, what is that purple jade Guanyin, why would these people go to figure him?" ”
Lu Yueming said: "It's not convenient for us to ask about this matter." ”
Miss Shen said: "That's right, it will be difficult for us to do it." ”
Lu Yueming said: "Anyway, what is certain at present is that if this purple jade Guanyin is taken away, then King Yan will have bad luck, and Beiyuan will have a big profit." So he joined forces to steal it. ”
Qian unintentionally added: "They also seem to have differences, I saw with my own eyes that Jin Xuan followed the lifeless hand." ”
Lu Yueming said: "Okay, let's put all this together." As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper and wrote with a pen and said: "Beiyuan has always been reluctant to forget Yuan Dadu, so they secretly bought a group of people, that is, the group of people in green shirts, to promote that wolf-headed god, but they were disturbed by Brother Long, and now they are making a comeback, so they take Yunxia Temple as their nest." The green shirt Dao secretly colluded with the people of Yan Wang's Mansion and stole Yan Wang's purple jade Guanyin. ”
Qian unintentionally interrupted: "Also, my unkind sister, she didn't know when she followed the big monk, and she hated me, so this business also took my name, obviously to frame me." ”
Lu Yueming said again: "And Jin Xuan and his gang were in the same stream with them, and they bewitched the people, and as a result, they fled to Yunxia Temple, and as a result, their own people almost fought.
Yao Shaoyong said again: "And they also have a very powerful helper, it is the three disciples of Xu and his party, who are the best at making holes in the ground and setting up organs. ”
He Tingyu interjected: "There is also a novelty that can be used to make weapons underground, which is most suitable for rebellion." ”
However, Yao Shaoyong said: "I feel that things are not so simple, the more I investigate these days, the more I feel that something is wrong, there should be a group of people behind them, and there are people behind them, and that person is not small." ”
Miss Shen said: "The temple has offended too many people in the rivers and lakes, and the same is true in Beiping this time. ”
Lu Yueming said: "Now the top priority is to know where to put that thing?" Listening to them, it seems to be a place that does not dare to look up easily. ”
Miss Shen rubbed her hands and said, "I still have to tell Dao Yan about this, we still have to know what that purple jade Guanyin is, this is not a question of whether it is good for us or not, what do we know now, how can we check?" "If you want to be someone else, Lu Yueming will definitely scold him in his heart for messing around, this kind of thing is more than asking, it will lead to anger. But the man who spoke was different.
After the discussion, everyone still followed the previous plan, walking the streets and alleys of the unannounced visit, but still no clue, and at night, everyone went to bed early, but the dragon halberd somehow could not sleep, walked to the courtyard and looked at the moon, and couldn't help but sigh.
Lu Yueming couldn't sleep either, and when he saw that the dragon halberd was in the courtyard, he also followed. The two sat down and began to chat, and Long Ji asked first: "The person who killed me, has she committed another crime recently?" ”
Lu Yueming said: "Not at present, they have calmed down for a while, and it seems that they are going to make a big deal." ”
The dragon halberd asked, "What do you think she will be?" ”
Lu Yueming said: "Tingyu said, judging from that person's methods, it is likely that he is also a person from Wuzimen, she just heard that another person in Wuzimen washed his hands and went to do private work last year, and he wanted to clean up the door, but it was gone."
Long Ji said: "By the way, my sister-in-law is also from Wuzimen, how does she wash her hands?" ”
Lu Yueming said: "She was doing business once, and she ended up with a scar on her face. You can also see that the one on her face doesn't ruin her appearance, but she can't eat this line of work, because there is such an obvious problem on her face. Then she mingled around the rivers and lakes, and she ran into me. Of course, this is also something to help someone take care of. ”
Long Ji sighed: "Actually, I always feel that they are very pitiful, why did you say that they did this business, they suffered so much, and their lives were in danger, and they were still looked down upon on the rivers and lakes." ”
Lu Yueming thought to himself that if Yao Shaoyong or other men were around, they would definitely joke first and say if you were worried about that woman, and he would echo it. But he didn't have the habit of opening the topic first. However, at this moment, I only heard a burst of birds chirping outside, which seemed to have some rhythm.
Lu Yueming suddenly said in a low voice: "It's not good, someone attacked at night." ”
The back door was suddenly opened, and He Tingyu rushed out and said, "Just one, according to the old rules." As she spoke, she threw two handkerchiefs to the two of them, and said, "I'll go to the east well to guard, and you guys will rush there." As he spoke, he took his spear, ran two steps, flew up the wall in a few steps, and disappeared.
The dragon halberd looked at the cloth bag and asked, "What is this for?" Lime? ”
Lu Yueming said: "If you leave the smell, you can't smell it, but the dog can smell it." ”
After a long time, I saw a black shadow suddenly appear on the beam, the black shadow tiptoed and didn't seem to make a sound, and then gently fell into the courtyard, first walked into a bedroom, pierced the window paper and took a closer look, only to see a man and a woman lying inside, so the black shadow shook his head, and walked to another room, poked open and looked, only to see a man lying inside, his figure seemed to be very similar to the dragon halberd, the black shadow nodded, took out a small crossbow, carefully aimed at the person on the bed, and a crossbow arrow was shot over. However, the night walker suddenly felt that something was wrong, because judging by the reaction and sound of the person after the injection, there seemed to be something wrong.
Just then, a voice came from behind: "That's right, that's fake." The night walker hurriedly turned around, but a burst of powder smashed down and covered his face, and he was stained.
I saw the dragon halberd holding a steel whip, pointing at the night walker and saying coldly: "It seems that you are coming for me." ”
Lu Yueming didn't know when he came over and said, "Don't you still look down on me?" ”
The night walker knew that he could not defeat these two people, so he hurriedly turned his head and ran, two steps up the wall, and just flew to the roof, he saw two figures on the opposite side, who seemed to be shooting with a crossbow.
This night pedestrian can only run on the ground, only feel that the pursuers behind are running, he only left and right, stopped at a corner of an alley, looked carefully, and felt that it seemed to be getting rid of the pursuers, in fact, the pursuers were thrown off on their own initiative, which he himself also knew, they sprinkled powder on themselves, which was conducive to the pursuit of the hounds, they wanted to let themselves go back, so as to put a long line to catch big fish. At this time, she deliberately withdrew, just to let her relax her vigilance and run back to the nest.
So he took off his night clothes by the well and jumped into the well, but of course there were no men to see him at this time. It's a pity that she overestimates herself too much, she is far from having the kind of clever figure that Qian Unintentional, not to mention that after Qian Unintentional, those Jianghu characters have taken strict precautions, arranged several secret sentinels, discussed code words and tactics, and this time she almost fell into the net.
After a while, the snow-white body crawled out of the well again, and now the dust on his body was also washed away, and he should be able to go, but he ...... It's best not to ask for clothes. She gritted her teeth, saw that there should be no one that night, and ran back like this.
