After the figures of Wu Yi Wu and Wu San disappeared outside the door, Baili Minghui sat on the stool, lowered his head and looked pensive, and after a while, he stood up and walked towards the window.

He stood in front of the window, looking at the bustling street market outside, but his heart was not so relaxed.

It seems that his existence has threatened the status of some people, but because he is not in the imperial city, they can only attack Jiang Aoxue, and they must speed up their actions here, and they can go back to protect her as soon as possible after the end is over.

Although Wu Yi said that Jiang Aoxue was not injured, she must have been frightened, right?

Thinking of this, Baili Minghui's heart felt as if he was clenched by a big hand, and he secretly hurt. once vowed to protect her for the rest of her life, but it seems that after getting married, she put her in a more dangerous situation, does she regret it now?

However, even if he regretted it, he didn't want to let go of her hand, and he would use all his strength to protect her and let her not be hurt again.

A hint of determination flashed in Baili Minghui's eyes, he didn't have time to think about other things here, he had to put all his energy on the matter of pirates, so that he could return to Jiang Aoxue's side faster.

However, he couldn't find out about Kojima for a long time, and he didn't know where to start. Baili Minghui pondered for a long time, and suddenly had an idea and thought of something.

Since the boss who sold jade before didn't know why he disappeared, and now the shopkeeper who sold calligraphy and paintings seemed to be confusing their audition, then the boss who sold calligraphy and paintings obviously knew something, could he be one of those pirates?

Baili Minghui knocked his head hard, such a simple thing, why did he only notice it now. He was about to call the guards and ask them to follow the shopkeeper and find out where he had been recently, but suddenly he changed his mind.

Although it is said that his secret guard martial arts are not low, but his own martial arts are higher, and if something happens, it is easier for him to deal with it in person.

Thinking of this, he didn't tell the dark guard about it, but decided to wait until after dark to find out the reality of the shopkeeper himself.

While Baili Minghui was waiting for the night to fall, in a mansion in the imperial city thousands of miles away, a man dressed in black was sitting in a chair, playing with the jade pendant on his waist, while allowing the bewitching woman next to him to put the wine into his mouth.

There was a man kneeling in the hall, and I saw that the man's body was trembling slightly, his face was pale, and beads of sweat were constantly floating on his forehead.

The man sitting on it threw a grape into his mouth before he spoke: "You mean the mission failed?" ”

"Yes, please punish the master." Although he didn't want to admit it, he couldn't lie, because the cost of lying would be even more severe.

But contrary to his expectations, the master did not reprimand him, and even his expression did not change in the slightest. He drank the wine in his glass, and just said lightly: "Go down and receive the punishment!" ”

Although this man didn't show any anger at all, the subordinates kneeling below still turned white all of a sudden, and those who knew the master well knew what the punishment for unfinished tasks looked like, even if he didn't die, he went to half a life, and I am afraid that life will be difficult in the future.

His heart was full of despair, but the man still kowtowed respectfully and said, "Thank you, master." ”

The man sitting on it, still immersed in the wine, did not speak, but waved his hand and motioned for him to go out on his own.

After he disappeared at the door, the face of the man who had been drinking changed slightly, his face became gloomy, he picked up the wine glass in front of him and threw it to the ground, gritting his teeth and saying, "Jiang Aoxue!" ”

originally thought that even if he couldn't get rid of Baili Minghui, getting rid of Jiang Aoxue could also give Baili Minghui a taste of losing his beloved, but he didn't expect this plan to fail.

Could it be that it was so difficult for him to get rid of Baili Minghui? Is Baili Minghui really a person who is destined for heaven?

No, anyone who wants to stop his plans, he must get rid of him, he is the most honorable person, and no one can take his place.

He had to hurry up and think of a new way, a way to get rid of Baili Minghui and Jiang Aoxue in one fell swoop.

Within a few hours, night finally fell. Baili Minghui changed into a black tights, locked the room, and then climbed out of the window and left the inn.

Today is a cloudy day, the moon is covered by dark clouds, there is no light to be seen at all, a hundred miles of bright light after a few ups and downs to the street where the calligraphy and painting shop is located.

At this time, the calligraphy and painting shop had not yet closed, and the person in the middle of the store was the shopkeeper I saw that day. Baili Minghui turned over on the roof of a store not far away and observed the situation in the store from above.

After a while, the shopkeeper turned out the lights in the shop, and then walked out of the door, locked the shop carefully, and walked into the distance.

Baili Minghui didn't follow immediately, if this shopkeeper was really a pirate person, then it was possible that his martial arts were very high, and if he followed rashly like this, he might be discovered and fall short.

After he walked a certain distance, Baili Minghui followed, and after walking like this for a while, the shopkeeper of the calligraphy and painting shop stopped in a small courtyard not far from the sea, and then walked in.

There was no shelter around, so Baili Minghui did not rush forward, he looked at this small courtyard from a distance, but he didn't see the shopkeeper come out again in the next time.

The owner of this calligraphy and painting shop is a businessman who should be able to earn a lot of money a day, why does he not live in a better yard, but in such a small yard, he should have the money to exchange for a bigger house, right?

The only thing that can be explained is why he had to live here, and that reason is probably related to pirates, right?

But how did he get in touch with pirates? Thinking of this, his eyes widened and he stared at the small courtyard carefully, but the whole night passed, and the shopkeeper did not leave the small courtyard.

Watching the sky gradually brighten, Baili Minghui knew that he couldn't stay here any longer, otherwise he would be discovered in a short time. Thinking of this, he quickly left. Rush towards the inn.

Before the sky was completely bright, Baili Minghui's figure finally appeared in the room of the inn, he changed his black clothes, put on his usual clothes, and sat back at the table.

He poured himself a cup of tea and drank it slowly, as he carefully recalled everything that had happened last night. His brows furrowed slightly, could it be that everything he had thought before was wrong? Is there any suspicion in the shopkeeper?

If he was a pirate, he would have chosen to act at night, but he had been watching his movements all night long, and he had not left the room.

Wait a minute! Baili Minghui's hand drank tea, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes. Didn't leave the house? Would a normal person not come to the yard once in a night? There's got to be something weird about that.

Perhaps, there is no secret room in his room, and he uses this method to communicate with the pirates, so he was not actually in that small courtyard all night, which can explain the events of last night.

Thinking of this, a strange smile appeared on the corner of Baili Minghui's mouth, since this is the case, then he will go to that small courtyard during the day to take a look! Go dig into the hidden truth in that little courtyard.

After resting a little at the inn and having lunch, Baili Minghui went out of the inn again, he did not jump between the roofs as he did at night, and covered most of his face with a straw hat, and disguised himself as a farmer.

He walked out of the inn without taking the main road, and walked specifically from the alleys, and after he had bypassed many overlapping alleys, he felt that it was almost time before he walked towards the small courtyard.

In less than a while, Baili Minghui stood at the door of the small courtyard, he didn't knock on the door, but directly pushed the door and walked in just to be surprised.

But to Baili Minghui's surprise, there was no one in the room at all, and it seemed that the shopkeeper of the calligraphy and painting shop had not yet married a wife.

This made him feel even more bizarre, the shopkeeper was at least thirty years old, and he hadn't married a wife yet, which was really strange.

However, no one in the room did give it a lot of convenience, and he carefully examined it, hoping to find out the existence of the secret room from the room.

After banging on all sides of the wall, Baili Minghui did not notice the existence of the secret room. He stood in the middle of the house, touching his chin as he carefully scanned the room with a sharp gaze.

This house is not big, there are not many places that can be used as secret rooms, except for the walls, where will there be a mechanism? Baili Minghui's gaze swept to the back of the bed on the side, and a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind.

Could this trap not be in the wall, but under the bed? He'd seen a lot of people set up mechanisms under their beds before. Thinking of this, he hurriedly stepped forward and groped around the bed.

Finally, after touching a bulge, Baili Minghui was overjoyed, and then pressed the bulge hard, only to hear a "squeak", and the bed took the initiative to rise, revealing a secret passage.

That secret passage is bottomless, and if you don't go down to see it, I'm afraid it will be difficult to know what this secret passage is for. Thinking of this, Baili Minghui tore off a piece of cloth from his clothes, covered his face, and then jumped up and entered the secret passage.

After Baili Minghui's figure disappeared at the entrance of the secret passage, the bed automatically returned to its original position, and everything looked as if no one had come.
