Chu Dynasty calendar, winter moon seventeenth, night, there is snow.

Don't, break the ground, open the coffin.

Qi Lianyu moved his hands and feet in the room, and his condition was obviously much better than that of the previous two days, but he still felt a faint pain when he made half of his face.

"Squeak-" The door opened, and it was Saburo who entered.

"Young master, I'll go to Yizhuang if you don't want to go." Saburo's face was full of worry.

Qi Lianyu shook his head at San Lang and said, "Yizhuang is outside the city, you don't know the way, and it will be a delay if you go, not to mention that you can see the cause of the other party's death?" ”

San Lang squeaked, and after all, he still felt that he couldn't refute what his young master said, so he had to give up and let him go.

"Did you get what I asked you to find?" Qi Lianyu said to San Lang.

San Lang grinned, took out a large bag from behind him and put it on the table, and then said to Qi Lianyu proudly: "I got it, it's all here." ”

Qi Lianyu opened the baggage, flipped through it, and then took out a silver mask from it. The mask only has half a face, which Qi Lianyu specially asked San Lang to prepare for himself.

Yesterday, with the help of San Lang, after removing the bandages on his body, as Qi Lianyu expected, his face was useless, with several scars lying across his left cheek, and the longest one extended from the corner of his eyebrows to his chin. made the originally handsome face a little hideous.

Qi Lianyu looked at himself in the mirror with a wry smile, the ugly scar was under the control of the muscles, shaking up and down, like a few small snakes lying on their faces, meandering and crawling there. Qi Lianyu sighed lightly, and then put the mask on his face, revealing the still handsome right cheek.

"Cheap Chu Ci's kid." Qi Lianyu muttered to herself, and then thought that she would lose to Chu Ci in appearance in the future, so she felt a sense of loss.

The other items in the baggage were two sets of night clothes, which were for himself and Saburo.

Qi Lianyu threw the night clothes on the table to San Lang, and then said to him angrily: "Change it." ”

If San Lang wanted to know that Qi Lianyu's nameless fire was about to lose to Chu Ci because of his appearance, I don't know what kind of mood he would have.

San Lang took the night clothes thrown by Qi Lianyu, and seemed to be a little reluctant to ask: "Young master, don't think about it anymore, the injuries on your body haven't healed yet." ”

Qi Lianyu knew that San Lang was doing this for his own good, but he also said that Yizhuang had to go over by himself, so he didn't bother to pay attention to San Lang, and then took off his robe directly in the room, and his original white skin was covered with Taoist scars, especially in the abdomen, there was a fist-sized wound, although it had scabbed, but it would always make the person who saw it feel the pain when he was injured.

The two of them changed their outfits and put the mask over their faces to make sure they wouldn't be noticed.

"Remember the codeword?" Qi Lianyu straightened up the mask and asked San Lang a little uneasily.

San Lang nodded and said, "One branch is on the shore, and the wind and snow are coming." ”

After saying the secret words, San Lang grinned at Qi Lianyu, as if telling the other party that he had not forgotten, but at this time, San Lang's expression changed, and he became a little mysterious, and he came to Qi Lianyu's side and asked him: "Young master, such a lame code word won't be what you think." ”

Qi Lianyu was slightly stunned, and then he actually laughed.

"Such a lame code word, how could it be that your young master thought of it."

Qi Lianyu remembered the scene of the dispute with Chu Ci because of this code word, when he heard this code word from Chu Ci's mouth, his expression was the same as San Lang's, and he almost laughed in front of Chu Ci, but Chu Ci was not conscious at that time, and he was still complacent that he had come up with such a good code word.

"Only he could come up with such a code word." Qi Lianyu said in his heart.

Snow, inadvertently, covers the entire Kyoto Prefecture. The snow in Kyoto Prefecture is very fine, and there is no goose-feather snow like the northern one, but it just falls and spreads all over Kyoto.

Originally, according to Qi Lianyu's intentions, this operation was going to be carried out yesterday, but San Lang postponed the operation for a day on the grounds that Qi Lianyu's body had not recovered well.

San Lang came to the Tongyuan Inn according to the address Qi Lianyu said. The inn was still the same as before, two lanterns hung high on both sides of the inn, and the fine snow fell in the dim light.

"Knock, knock, knock-" Saburo knocked on the door of the Tongyuan Inn.

After a while, a voice full of resentment came from the inn, "Who! The shop is closed, the guest rooms are full, the drinks are gone, the food is spoiled, if you want to eat and drink, please have breakfast tomorrow. ”

It's still the same set of words that Zhang Xinghai came over before.

In fact, Xiao Er's heart is broken now, since the last time Zhang Xinghai came, he hasn't had a good rest in the past few days, today Xiao Er finally had time to rest, and he was just about to meet Ah Xiang next door in a dream, and was woken up by this damn knock on the door.

San Lang was a little overwhelmed by the other party's tone, so he was stunned for a moment.

It was also such a stunned time, Xiao Er opened the door of the inn, and then saw San Lang, who was dressed in black and wearing a mask. For Xiao Er, he is no stranger to the other party's dress, and he saw it from a person a few days ago, but that person was full of blood, but today this person looks much cleaner.

But no matter how clean it is, it's really scary for this dress to appear at the door of a person's house at night.

Xiao Er was completely sleepy for a moment, and then suddenly took two steps back, distancing himself from Saburo. This is what I learned the last time that person came.

"Who are you?" Xiao Er's voice trembled a little, and at the same time, his eyes kept looking around, as if he wanted to find a self-defense weapon that he could fit in.

San Lang also seemed to be surprised by Xiao Er's performance, he didn't expect the other party to behave like this, and then hurriedly raised his hand to stop him. It's just that this action, in Xiao Er's eyes, is a signal that the other party is going to attack, just like a frightened puppy, when he sees that the other party has any action that seems abnormal to it, he will launch a counterattack.

The current Xiao Er is also like this, seeing that San Lang has moved, he doesn't speak, so he directly picked up a bench from behind him, which he encountered when he retreated just now, because there was really no other hand around, so he had to pick it up.

There was a crisp sound of "pop", and the bench slapped firmly on San Lang's body, which made this person who had just arrived a little overwhelmed, he was just according to what Qi Lianyu said, and came to get the news, who knows, before he could say his words, he was beaten first.

Although San Lang is also a practitioner, he still grinned in pain, squatted on the ground, hugged his shoulders for a long time and couldn't slow down.
