Chapter 233

"What?! You say someone helped us settle the bill? ”

Early in the morning of the second day, Deng Si'er stood at the counter of the inn and shouted in surprise as he looked at the innkeeper.

This shout made Mo Lidao and Nie Zaizhi, who were standing on the side, immediately frown and glanced at each other.

Especially Nie Zaizhi, before going to bed last night, Nie Zaizhi couldn't help but be deeply shocked after listening to what Mo Lidao knew about what happened to Deng Si'er and Zuo Zhi, and even felt incredulous for the 'other emperor' that Song Yuqiu said before he died.

How can there be such absurd things in the world? How could anyone say the words 'another emperor'?

Not to mention that Emperor Zhengcang is now upright and in his prime, strong and healthy, and he is still very early from abdication.

What's more, who in the world doesn't know that Emperor Zhengcang inherited the will of the emperor in order, and his name is justified!

Until he left Mo Lidao's room, Nie Zaizhi was in a mood turmoil all night. At this time, they couldn't help but be even more surprised to hear that the silver taels they had spent in the inn had already been settled by others.

"It's only the three of us who come here to stay here, why would anyone settle the bill for us?" Mo Lidao immediately walked to Deng Si'er's side and asked the innkeeper in surprise.

The boss didn't expect that these three people didn't know anything about this time, and couldn't help but say inexplicably:

"Oh, three guest officers, I don't know about this, maybe someone who knows you but doesn't want to reveal your whereabouts."

Deng Si'er was about to ask again, but was patted on the shoulder by Nie Zaizhi behind him.

I saw Nie Zaizhi shaking his head. Looking at Deng Si'er's puzzled expression, he gently shifted his gaze modestly.

Mo Lidao also saw Nie Zaizhi's appearance when he turned around, and couldn't help but look in the direction indicated by Nie Zaizhi with Deng Si'er. Even though they all frowned.

Not far from the door, a man wearing a hat was standing on the official road outside the inn with the reins of his horse.

Although the man was wearing a hat, so that people could not see his face clearly, the three of them clearly felt that the person's gaze was in the direction of their side!

"Is that the person?"

Deng Si'er asked Nie Zaizhi who was the first to find that person around him.

But I saw that the innkeeper leaned out slightly and looked out of the door after hearing Deng Si'er's words. Even with strange meanings, there were strange words:

"That's right, it's him, he just brought a hat with him when he checked out. Three guest officers. Don't you know him? ”

Deng Si'er was immediately stunned when he heard this, turned to look at Mo Lidao, and when he saw Mo Lidao, he also shook his head and said to Nie Zaizhi:

"You can't tell who it is just by your shape."

Deng Si'er also nodded when he heard this.

"That's weird." The innkeeper said strangely when he heard this.

Nie Zaizhi saw that Deng Si'er was still thinking about the man wearing the hat. Then said:

"Don't think about it. It's important to hurry. ”

Deng Si'er nodded when he heard this, didn't say anything, and followed Mo Lidao and Nie Zaizhi out of the inn.

After hitting the road again, Mo Lidao and Nie Zaizhi walked in front of the horse, Deng Si'er was a little behind, and because he had just started on the road, he did not immediately speed up the trip.

Mo Lidao and Nie Zai drove their horses in front with slightly gloomy expressions, not knowing what they were talking about in a whisper.

But Deng Si'er was at the figure of the man wearing the hat just now. Lingering for a long time.

Who is it?

Be...... Who......

In the next few days, Deng Si'er and his party settled down at the inn to rest. The next day, someone would settle the silver taels they had spent in the inn first, without exception!

However, except for the first time when the man with the hat was the first time to settle the bill, after him, he never appeared again!

Even during this period, Deng Si'er, Mo Lidao and Nie Zaizhi, singles, pairs, or three people hid in a hidden place to observe secretly, they still didn't see the person wearing the hat, but they didn't see who they were settling the silver taels for them......

Gradually, the uneasiness in my heart spread more and more as the location got closer and closer to the Nanhu Annex.

Especially when there are still two days away from Nanhu Villa, and eight days before the last limit of one month for Zuo Idiot, the change finally happened.

"Who are you?"

Daoist Qingfeng looked at the ten black-clothed people in front of him who surrounded the three of them, and couldn't help frowning and asked in a deep voice.

At this time, Qingfeng Daoist Nie Zaizhi was the one with the strongest martial arts among the three of them, so he deservedly stood in front of Deng Si'er and Mo Lidao.

Seeing this, Mo Lidao couldn't help frowning tightly, looked at the ten black-clothed people in front of him with familiar costumes and said:

"After following us for so long, you are finally willing to show up. I really didn't expect it, it turned out to be ...... It's the Shadow Gate! ”

After Mo Lidao finished speaking, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes into a line, but when he looked around, he didn't see the person he expected.

Is it unexpected? Isn't it the Shadow Gate Dark Lord?

When Deng Si'er saw the clothes of these black-clothed people, he immediately understood that as early as the first time he stayed at the inn, the person who had tied the silver tael for them and wore a hat was ......

Now the famous one, the shadow door dark master, Chu Jing.

"What about your Lord of Darkness? Why didn't you see him coming? Deng Si'er looked at the ten black-clothed people in front of him, stood up and asked lightly.

There was no fluctuation in his tone, and there was no fear in the slightest.

Nie Zaizhi saw Deng Si'er walking in front of him, and couldn't help but want to pull Deng Si'er, but seeing Deng Si'er's calm and resolute face, he couldn't help but be stunned, and looked at Mo Lidao.

Seeing that Mo Lidao's eyes were also dark, he couldn't help but be even more puzzled.

This so-called poisoned and murdered the shadow master of the left idiot...... Who exactly?

The Shadow Gate has been established for a long time, and its reputation in the rivers and lakes is so great that even the Daoist of Qingfeng, who has always lived indifferently and seclusively, has heard of it.

It's just that Shadow Gate has always been aimed at advocating justice in the rivers and lakes and maintaining the righteous path of martial arts?

Why is it ...... now?

It seems that this shadow gate should have a great relationship with the case investigated by Zuo Idiot and Deng Si'er.

Daoist Qingfeng has a lot of experience, and even if he understands when he sees this, the Shadow Gate is now here to intercept the three of them, although the intention is unknown, but it is not just for the so-called antidote that Yu Yingran needs for the Shadow Gate.

Because, the antidote is in the Nanhu Courtyard, and now that the Nanhu Courtyard is only Yu Yingran alone, there are no other helpers around him, this is the best time for the Shadow Gate to enter and take away the antidote, how can he intercept the three of them here in turn?

"The Cold Iron Order is here, will you wait for it to retreat!?"

After Deng Si'er waited for a long time, he still couldn't see the suspicious person in his heart, nor did he see the ten black-clothed people in front of him take action against the three of them, so he couldn't help but take out the cold iron order, wanting to make these ten people retreat.

The ten black-clothed men suddenly saw the cold iron order appear in front of them, and they couldn't help but change their expressions, but!

It's just that his expression has changed, but it's ......

did not get out of the way and let them leave as Deng Si'er expected.

"What, the Cold Iron Order is here, and you have to disobey it?!" Deng Si'er couldn't help but light up the cold iron order in his hand again, and said loudly.

But I didn't want to, I heard a voice that seemed to be laughing but not laughing, mixed with a chill to the bone, and said softly:

"It turns out that he actually gave you the Cold Iron Order." (To be continued.) )
