Chapter 115: Uneasy
There was nothing to do the next day, Qingxue didn't go out, I wanted to wait until noon to go out, yesterday Yijian didn't say if she would accompany her today, she probably recalled, it seems that it is not difficult to find that Pengyuan Restaurant, so she didn't pay much attention to it.
Just after breakfast, Qingxue was reading a book in the house, there was a knock on the door, and the voice of the shopkeeper sounded, "Girl, are you there, a few sons said they came to look for you"
Qingxue got up and opened the door, and saw Xiao Hongchen and the three of them standing outside the door, Xiao Hongchen took the lead and said, "I heard you explain that you are leaving, I think there should be nothing to do today, and a few of us will take you around" As he was talking, the footsteps outside sounded again, and a few people looked at it, and it was Yijian who came over.
Yi Jian said with a smile, "You are lively here, why are you standing at the door?" ”
Qingxue reacted at this time, took two steps back to make way of the position, let a few of them in, and apologized, "I was negligent, everyone come in"
Yi Jian was the last to come in, looked at Qingxue by the door, and said in a low voice, "Have you had breakfast?" ”
Qingxue nodded, "I've eaten it, what about you?"
"Xiao Yin made breakfast, I came here after eating"
Long Yunfei sat down at the table, looked at the two people at the door and shouted, "What are you two whispering, are we here at the wrong time?"
Qingxue's face was red, she was not ready to go out, so she didn't wear a veil, and her face was flushed at this time, and her skin was like clotted fat, and her face was like a peach blossom. Several big men in the room couldn't help but be stunned, and their hearts were a little turbulent.
Qingxue then poured tea under the pretext of turning around to avoid everyone's attention. Since I was a child, I haven't gotten along with so many people of the opposite sex alone, and since I entered this game, there have always been all kinds of people around me. I don't have many days of being alone at all, I didn't realize anything before, but when Long Yunfei said this today, I always felt weird at this time.
After taking a few deep breaths and trying to calm down, he turned around and sat down a little farther away from the side, looking at Xiao Hongchen, "I have something to do at noon today." I'm afraid it won't work to go out, thank you for your kindness."
"Oh, it's fine. What's the matter. Do you need us to help" Xiao Hongchen didn't seem to care very much, and waved his hand indifferently.
Qingxue hesitated for a moment, and subconsciously glanced at Yijian, and Yijian's expression did not move. Just the eyes blinked slightly, "Actually." It's not a big deal, I want to find Shen Yuan, so I bought news through the dark night, and today I went over to get the answer"
"Dark night? Then you have to prepare the silver" Xiao Hongchen didn't look surprised, just said lightly.
"How much do you know about the night?" Qingxue was still puzzled by the dark night, and couldn't help but ask, but she didn't think she could hear any answers.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Hongchen seemed to know quite well about this organization. Qingxue asked, and replied casually, "Dark Night is an underground organization. Buying and selling intelligence, bounty missions, killing people and setting fires are all done, as long as you have the money. This organization has a high success rate in completing tasks, and in order to complete the tasks, it can be said that they will do whatever it takes, and so far, I have not heard of any tasks that they cannot complete. Similarly, their prices are also the highest in the rivers and lakes today, and those who can invite them are either businessmen and tycoons, or they are dominant. There is also a legend that there are many women in the dark night, and it is likely that the owner of the dark night is also a woman, this is just speculation, not true, but I think, it should be eight or nine without leaving ten.
In fact, there are many such organizations on the rivers and lakes, and which gang does not develop this aspect of power, but the master of this dark night seems to have a lot of means, and it is rare to sit firmly in the first position in this industry.
Legend has it that where there is a town, you can find the stronghold of the dark night and make a deal with them, I have heard of the stronghold of Yunyang City" Xiao Hongchen said There was a pause here, his face was a little strange, and he glanced lightly at the sword on the other side, before he continued, "It's the Chunxiang Pavilion of Pengyuan Restaurant, I don't know if it's right?" ”
Qingxue nodded, "You know this clearly."
Xiao Hongchen smiled conceitedly, "You forgot what I did, in that kind of place, as long as I want to know, I will definitely be able to inquire about it."
Qingxue then understood that he was doing fortune telling, and it turned out that there was still this meaning, but I didn't know why he was asking about this, and it was not easy to ask now, so he could only put this question aside for the time being.
"What time did you have an appointment, can you show us there?"
Qingxue thought about it for a while, it didn't seem that there was anything wrong with it, just go, anyway, she didn't hide anything from them, it was not good for them to know.
Because today's appointment is noon, it is the time to eat, Pengyuan Restaurant can be said to be full of friends, when Qingxue and his party no one walked in, the atmosphere inside was obvious, and then there were many people who greeted Xiao Hongchen, and there were also those who talked to Long Yunfei, it seems that their popularity here is very high, it may be because of their profession, there are few people who follow the wind and don't ask.
The five of them went straight up to the second floor, Qingxue stood in front of the door of Chunxiang Pavilion and knocked on the door, but the voice from yesterday said, "Please come in"
Yesterday, the man was still sitting in the old place, eating, and when he saw so many people coming in, he was stunned for a moment, and then he got up and greeted politely, "It turned out to be the laughing boy, the head of the dragon sect and the head of the wind dart, and I was polite below."
Long Yunfei said strangely: "You know me? ”
The man nodded, and Long Yunfei pursed his mouth, "But I don't know you."
Qingxue saw that the corner of the man's mouth twitched, and he didn't speak, and Xiao Hongchen on the side was busy, "We are here with friends, you are busy with yours"
The man smiled and nodded, and turned to Qingxue and Yijian, "It turned out to be Miss Mo and Yijian Gongzi, who were clumsy and rude yesterday"
People were suddenly so polite, Qingxue was a little at a loss, and hurriedly said, "You are polite, I didn't expect that Mr. is well-informed, and he can recognize such a nameless person as us."
"Alas, you're joking, how can the first or second place in the Murong family's ring be a nobody?"
Qingxue then remembered that maybe there were still some people who remembered her, after all, the Murong family's ring was also in an uproar for a while at that time. The man took out a note from his sleeve and handed it to Qingxue, "This is what you asked yesterday"
Qingxue took the note and glanced at it, then put it away, "Thank you, how much is the honorarium?" ”
But the man waved his hand, "There is a word from above, saying that it is a trivial matter, and it will be given to the girl."
Qing Xue Qi said, "Up? But who is it? How can Qingxue accept this gift for no reason, this gratuity must still be given, and you can't be busy for nothing."
The two pushed and gave in several times, but the man insisted on not accepting it, which made Qingxue feel puzzled, but she didn't know who to ask, and the person just said that the top was the top, and he didn't want to reveal his identity.
Yi Jian and Xiao Hongchen glanced at each other, and at the same time stepped forward to stop Qingxue, who had no choice but to thank the man and leave. After coming out, he immediately looked at them suspiciously, could it be that they knew the reason?
Neither of them responded to her doubts, Xiao Hongchen pointed outside, and walked out first, Qingxue had to follow, maybe he thought it was inconvenient to talk here.
Out of Pengyuan Restaurant, Xiao Hongchen turned around a few times and went around to another restaurant on another street, ordered a table of wine and food, and then looked at Qingxue, "You may not know, when you fell off the cliff, Miss Lou asked us to meet a few times and inform us of your situation, the place she chose is Chunxiang Pavilion of Pengyuan Restaurant, and Chunxiang Pavilion has been wrapped by people for a long time, you think, who has the ability to make room for the dark night?" ”
Qingxue nodded, knowing in her heart, it seems that the incident just now was instructed by Lou Hongyue, and the dark night should be her organization. The person was unusually polite to them just now, and it made sense, but for some reason he resolutely refused to reveal Lou Hongyue's name. Yi Jian seemed to see Qingxue's question, and said softly, "They have a strict hierarchy, and the organization uses code names, maybe that person was of a lower level just now and didn't know the name of Miss Lou, but it is also possible."
Yi Jian's opinion, Xiao Hongchen also agreed, nodded and agreed, "This is very likely"
These problems are over, and a few people will eat with their heads bored, and after eating, they will disperse as usual.
On the way back, Yijian casually asked, "How is it, have you found it?" ”
Qingxue thought for a moment before she realized that he was talking about the Shen family brothers, and she didn't shy away from it, so she took out the note and handed it to Yijian.
There were only a few words on the note, "Tianshu Shen Family", his brows frowned slightly, and he leaned on his sword and said suspiciously, "The Shen family of Tianshu City?" Shen Kuo, are they from the Shen family? Then how can you help the Murong family? ”
"What's wrong? Does the Shen family have any holiday with the Murong family? Qingxue didn't know about these things, and when she saw Yijian's expression, she couldn't help but guess.
Yijian shook his head, "That's not it, I'm just a little strange, the same people from the martial arts family, they have always been well water and not river water, how could the people of the Shen family get involved in the Murong family's ring, and what's even more strange is that Murong Ke also took them out on a mission."
"Maybe there was something agreed between them, as far as I know, Shen Kuo just wanted to find medicine to treat Shen Yuan, so he went to participate in that ring, maybe the Murong family allowed them something, maybe Murong Ke didn't find out their details at all" Qingxue didn't have any defenses against Yijian, it seems that from that conversation, after Yijian confessed his purpose, Qingxue lost his previous caution against him.
"Well, maybe, anyway, the original thing has passed, and it's unintentional to think about it. It's a long way to Tianshu City, and the northern city is cold, so you have to prepare more winter clothes and cloaks" Yijian had just returned from Snowy Night City, and he still knew about the city in the north, so he instructed him.
Qingxue is used to the cold, when she was in Ice Lotus Peak before, it was winter all year round, and it often snowed, and her own internal strength also belonged to the cold, but she was not afraid. But I was still very moved by Yijian's concern in my heart, "Thank you for your concern, I originally came from the far north, and I can withstand that little wind and snow."
Yi Jian was stunned, this was the first time Qingxue took the initiative to tell him about her origin, it seemed that her origin had always been secretive, and now she took the initiative to mention it, which also showed her trust in him. Actually, speaking of which. The two are forbidden to know each other, and they have never lost their sense of proportion for anyone, except her. The feeling he felt when he received the letter was still a little uneasy when he thought about it now, which made him a little uneasy. (To be continued......)
