Chapter 180: Coming Closer
"Where has Cui'er been with your other team now?"
I heard that there was no way to practice, so I turned to the question I had asked earlier.
"No," I thought for a moment, "we're on the road, and we can't be faster than us." β
"So, they're taking the path, senior brother, do you think it's safe?" I looked up at Tianfang and asked.
While talking, I observed his actions, and saw that he seemed a little awkward in his gestures.
"Senior brother, if you practice this kind of evil kung fu, how can you say it every time," I pondered my vocabulary, "Restore fΓΉ back, are there some symptoms?" β
"It's not true, it's just that every time I do this kind of exercise, I always feel a little uncomfortable when I regain my body."
Tianfang didn't hide it, and told me very bluntly, "Just sleep for a night and rest well." β
"Then you rest early, I'll come back tomorrow morning." After that, I was going to quit.
"Wait a minute, little sister." Tianfang stopped me and said, "The night you met at the Deserted Village Inn, but it has something to do with the pair contained in the backyard?" β
"Looks like the people in charge have told you," I smiled, "yes." β
"The team that the deserted village inn encountered was sent by the Shao family in the southwest." A faint smile crossed my lips as I looked at him indifferently
"Wenzong fled all the way to Qibei with Fang Jinhua, and this team was used to hunt them down." I calmly stated my judgment, none of my business, and my tone sounded rather casual.
"It's just, this guy who leads the team. It was Wenzong's elder brother, who didn't know what their father was planning. As soon as the conversation turned, I spoke out the question in my mind.
I'm hard to understand, in general. How can a father be happy to compete with his hands and feet?
It's really a family that can't think about it with normal thinking.
"Senior brother, there's another thing that's very strange." Since the person in front of me is heavenly, I have no need to hide it, he knows too many things about me, and there is nothing to hide.
Especially this trip to the southwest, it was also through his strength and my own little scheming.
I pondered for a moment and said, "This team came to Qibei to arrest Wenzong, but naturally it was in vain. β
"Wenzong and Jinhua live in your courtyard, and it couldn't be safer."
When he explained to me in the teahouse which garden to choose to place me in, he especially talked about the consideration of the terrain.
I couldn't help but smile.
That heavily guarded garden may not be unbreakable to block some pervasive masters. But block a few minions from the southwest. It's still more than enough.
"But when they stayed at the Deserted Village Inn. You know, the night. β
At this point, my face flushed. It's all his fault.
I always thought it was Cui'er's little girl, and I were friends who almost talked about everything, and there was nothing to avoid.
When he came out like this, I couldn't help but think of the moans and gasps coming from next door that night.
The point is that my black-bellied senior brother is so good that he lies on the bed and pretends to be asleep, but he listens to it all the time.
Now you have to get to it, why don't you make people blush?
I looked away from him and lowered my voice, "You know what happened that night. β
"In the teahouse, when you were with me. I heard what the two men were talking about. "The teahouse line was not what I expected, but I only remembered it after I arrived in the town.
If it weren't for Yun Chu not saying goodbye, my mood, and this rainy weather, I wouldn't have gone to the night market.
"They say there is more than one girl missing in Qibei."
I was hesitant to make a move.
"When did you come to me, did you hear about it yourself or did your subordinates pass on the list of missing people, what kind of people are they?"
I was tempted to ask him why he didn't do it that night at the Deserted Village Inn, but on second thought, I gave up on the idea.
We used to stay in Dingbei Palace, if we want to save it, there are many people who were snatched by Xuanyuan Jingya at that time, and I was in it, because of some coincidence, I was able to meet him.
He and I are not angels who can give up their safety and selflessly save others, walking the rivers and lakes, indeed, many times, more things are better than less.
The idea was yes, but thinking of those innocent girls, I decided to take care of this matter and plan before I made a move.
"Senior brother, don't you think those girls were probably kidnapped by Wenzong's brother?" The situation seems to point to the fact that the person who robbed is Wenzong's elder brother.
"It's just one of the deserted village inns." After saying that, I looked at my brother and waited for him to reply to me.
Lan Tian sat down at the table, resting his elbows on the table, he lowered his head and thought for a while: "There is news that a few people are missing in Qibei, but I didn't pay special attention to it. β
"It's just that when I heard them talking in the teahouse, I wanted to listen carefully to see if there were any relevant clues."
"Why?" His answer was somewhat nonchalant and unexpected to me.
I looked at him strangely and said, "Isn't this kind of news that people on the rivers and lakes have always cared about?" β
"What do you care about?"
"Action-chivalry-battle-righteousness, fighting injustice and the like." I looked at him calmly and said word by word.
"I'm not from the Liu family, Qibei is in the open and secret, they are all running to maintain local order." Lan Tian smiled lazily.
"Then you still have more than one yard under Qibei, which is different from your statement."
I raised my eyebrows and glanced at him and said, "Is there anything that is inconvenient for my junior sister to know?" β
"After all, you have another layer of identity."
"Even if there's something I can't find out, I'll treat it as your military secret, so I don't have to ask more."
"No," Lan Tianfang stood up and stretched his muscles, "You said this." Is it still early? β
"The war will have to wait for the matter in the southwest to be resolved, and there is a result, and it is not too late to start planning."
My eyes suddenly looked at Tianfang: "I didn't expect that I was still blinded, this place in Qibei." Indeed, there are many calculating people. β
"Now is not the time to dwell on this, Xiao Ling'er, let me answer you first, there is indeed more than one garden in Qibei, and I didn't want to hide it from you."
"But this time, I rushed over from the capital of the Lake Country, mainly because of the news that the people sent by the Silver Country were coming to arrest you, so I thought about it, and I always felt that I didn't feel at ease that you would go to the southwest alone."
"How a person. In the original plan, Cui'er was not. Isn't it the one who catches the car? "I retorted to the heavens.
Lan Tianfang tilted his head and thought for a while, "Those two." I don't know much kung fu, it will also be a little three-legged cat, a critical moment. I can't protect you at all. β
"With two people like that, bringing a cup of tea, a bottle of water, and a car, you can't have higher requirements." Tianfang said disdainfully.
I sighed, and had to admit that he was right, and I knew the gap very well at the scene on the rooftop.
If Yun Chu hadn't appeared in time, I'm afraid that at this time, I would have been taken captive to the carriage of the Silver Country.
I stopped dwelling on the topic and went back to the question I wanted to ask at the beginning.
"Senior brother, then you see, when I get to the southwest, do you want to go to Wenzong's house first?" I asked Tianfang.
Two knocks sounded on the door.
"This time. It's late at night, and who's going to look for it. I muttered.
Seeing that he sat still, although he was the owner of this room, I had to walk over and open the door by myself.
Unexpectedly, the person standing outside the door was Yun Chu.
"Why are you here so late?"
Sensing that he appeared a little abruptly, I lowered my voice and asked quietly.
Looking at him puzzled, I wanted to tell him that I would leave in a while.
Before he could speak, Yun Chu's eyes glanced at Tianfang coldly, and then turned back to my face, staring at me with dark eyes.
After a moment, his eyelashes drooped and said, "It's late at night, and I have to hurry tomorrow morning." β
After saying that, he didn't wait for me to answer, he turned around and left.
Looking at his back, he disappeared behind the door of another room that separated the hallway.
I was just about to close the door when I heard a faint coughing sound, which was deliberately suppressed.
Thinking back to the look on his face when he appeared at the door, my heart tightened.
Turning my head, I hurriedly said to Tianfang: "Come back tomorrow morning, late at night, you can rest early, senior brother." β
I didn't care about the expression on his face, but I could only say that Yun Chu's appearance made me dispel the idea of continuing the discussion.
After I finished speaking, I dodged out and gently closed the door for Tianfang.
β¦β¦ I stood outside Yun Chu's door with a heavy heart, not knowing whether to push the door in, and I was afraid that if I entered, I would disturb him.
Standing at the door, struggling for a long time, I finally gently pushed the door open and went in.
Unexpectedly, it was dark inside.
I was stunned for a moment, and glanced uncertainly at the bed, the window was closed, and there were no stars and moons after the rain stopped tonight.
When the lights are not lit, the doors and windows are closed, and it is naturally pitch black.
Even after I practiced martial arts, my eyesight and ears have improved, and I still can't see whether there is anyone on it.
Thinking about it not long ago, he came to knock on the door of the blue sky, and he wouldn't have fallen asleep in just a short time.
Could it be that he went out down the hallway, but where could he go at such a late hour?
But there was no movement in the room, and I couldn't hear breathing.
This room must be empty right now.
I stood in the doorway, thought about it, and approached the bedside.
I remember the previous time I came, Yun Chu was reading the letter by the lamplight, and the flint should have rested on the table closest to the bed.
With that little impression from before, I walked over to the bedside.
My pace was slow.
Because I couldn't see the road clearly in the dark, I was afraid of tripping over the chairs in the room.
Closer, closer, feeling almost at that table.
I reached out and touched it.
In the darkness, a hand reached out and grabbed me.
Startled, I subconsciously wanted to withdraw my hand, but the other party deepened his strength and grabbed me tightly.
Warm and irresistible.
