Chapter 19: On the Roof
It was late at night, and what had been a humble place of ceremonial pleasure was now a dilapidated hut.
Wei Ziheng, with his right hand on his back, quietly looked at the desolate color in front of him. The birds around them slowly landed on the treetops beside them, and they occasionally made some birdsong, but more often than not, the sound of their flapping wings.
"Maybe she won't be here today, right?"
Wei Ziheng admired the moonlight, stayed for a while, and then turned to leave.
At this moment, a figure suddenly swept over the eaves, Wei Ziheng, who was originally walking slowly on the path, saw this situation and suddenly became alert.
This person is so light-hearted. In the middle of the night, there are still people walking on the eaves, I am afraid that there are some ulterior secrets!
Wei Ziheng then jumped up, with the help of a tree branch, jumped onto the eaves and watched the whereabouts of the man in black silently.
In this direction, it is the small courtyard next to the council hall, etc., could it be said that this is the connection between Wu Meng's inner ghost and the Black Tiger Gang?
Wei Ziheng suddenly became alert, he looked around and hesitated for a moment before deciding to follow, he followed the shadow of the man in black, and quietly came to the eaves of the small courtyard.
He leaned over the eaves and listened intently to the sound of the small courtyard.
"Why are you here? If it's not something important, you can't do it, and you can easily find me. ”
"If it were a general matter, maybe I wouldn't have come to you personally."
"It turned out to be you, I thought it was the one from before."
"Connect with you, in this special period, it makes sense for the black tiger to call me."
"Tell me, what's the matter with me? Haven't you already got the treasure? ”
"The treasure has indeed been obtained, but it is still not enough to harm Wu Meng. There is an order from the king of Yue's side to eradicate Wu Meng as much as possible, this henchman is in great trouble, and the king of Yue attaches great importance to it! ”
"Just say it, see what I can do?"
"Before that, I want to ask, do you Wu League have any doubts about you, an inner ghost?"
"I don't know, and I'm not sure, if exposed, I'll naturally have a way to escape."
"Since that's the case, I won't ask any more, after all, this Wu League is also for you......... Don't say it, don't worry, after the matter is completed, King Yue will have a lot of rewards. ”
"You are really bold, don't forget that there are still some masters in this Wu League, be careful that you expose your whereabouts."
"It's ridiculous, who is my opponent in this Wu League? That Chifeng is not defeated by me. ”
"Alright, let's talk about it, I don't want to stall."
"In that case, I won't say more. Will someone come to exterminate the Wu League in less than ten days? When the time comes, you must show up, and your old friends will help you as well. ”
"Old friend, hehe......"
"It's troublesome, just make your position clear when the time comes, after all, your status in the Wu League is not low, and your appeal is enough to shake the hearts of some people in the Wu League."
Then the man in black gently opened the door, ready to leave.
Wei Ziheng was driven by curiosity at this time, and he poked his head out, hoping to see what kind of face the man in black was? At the same time, he also wanted to see if the inner ghost would follow?
Suddenly, perhaps because of the fierce battle of the day, several tiles on the eaves suddenly came loose, and a crisp click came from the eaves.
The night man instantly looked at the eaves, Wei Ziheng subconsciously lowered his head, and suddenly, a bird flew into the sky from outside the courtyard.
"It's a bird!"
The man in black didn't stop there, turned and flew away. The last candle in the small courtyard was extinguished, and the inner ghost was hidden in the darkness and left.
Wei Ziheng's heart was pounding at this time, one or two drops of sweat dripping down his cheeks, and he stayed quietly on the eaves for a while before he dared to leave.
After Wei Ziheng hurriedly returned to the room, he immediately closed the door, Sun Qi looked at his junior brother's somewhat pale face, and asked not only with some worry, "What happened?" ”
"I see the ghost within." Wei Ziheng said cautiously.
Sun Qi suddenly frowned, and became vigilant: "What are you talking about, who is this ghost?" ”
"I don't know, just now when I was walking, I saw a man in black pass over the eaves, go straight to the small courtyard next to the council room, and talk to that ghost for a while." Wei Ziheng spoke in a very soft voice, for fear that the wall would have ears and leak the news.
"Do you see clearly?" Sun Qi was also shocked to hear the news.
Wei Ziheng shook his head after hearing this, and said, "No, but from the conversation between the two of them, I can judge." This inner ghost has an extremely high status within the Wu League, either an elder or those who are in charge. At least the people we saw earlier might. In the midst of this, I heard the name of a man. ”
"Did the inner ghost say that?" Sun Qi said.
Wei Ziheng adjusted his breathing, and then said: "It's the man in black, it seems that he has some gap with Chifeng, I suspect that he may be known as the number one swordsman in the Yue Kingdom, Zhong Ren." Looking at this land of Wuyue, I am afraid that there is only this one who can not put Chifeng in his eyes.
There is also the operation of the Black Tiger Gang this time, with the support of Yue Guo behind the scenes. And from the words of the man in black, it can be known that this Yue King Bushou seems to be very jealous of Wu Meng. If you want to eradicate it in a hurry, this theft of treasure may be one of these many plans. ”
Sun Qi stood in place and thought for a while, and then said: "This matter is very, now Wu Meng is still turbulent, in my opinion, don't say it easily, after all, we are also the object of suspicion of Wu Meng, and we have an inappropriate time." ”
"Of course I know, so I'm even more convinced that we need to leave as soon as possible. Only by leaving this place, even if they still have some doubts and speculations behind them, I think we should be able to deal with them. Don't forget, we're just their guests. "Wei Ziheng has already begun to plan for the worst.
Sun Qi suddenly found that the eyes of the junior brother in front of him were a little wrong, and he immediately echoed: "That's right, find a chance tomorrow, let's leave!" It's not early today, so let's go to bed. ”
"Okay." Wei Ziheng, with a look in his eyes, the two of them quickly extinguished the lights and went to bed.
Early the next morning.
Wei Ziheng was the first to wake up: "Senior brother! ”
Hearing Wei Ziheng's call, Sun Qi gradually woke up: "If it weren't for the fact that we are good brothers and have a good heart, the look in your eyes yesterday would have been really difficult for me to pay attention to." ”
Wei Ziheng hurriedly got up, first looked around vigilantly, and then said, "The man in black yesterday really found me. In order not to startle the snake, he did not rashly reveal my whereabouts. In the course of our conversation yesterday, I faintly felt a breath from the outside world that seemed to be faint, but the evil thoughts were extremely heavy.
So I was categorically sure that the man in black didn't go far. So at that time, I even explained that we were guests of the Wu League. ”
Sun Qi said with great admiration at this time: "Sure enough, the junior brother is still thoughtful, if it were me, I am afraid that there must be omissions between the words at that time." ”
Wei Ziheng paced worriedly, he thought about the chaos in front of him, he should retreat and make a difference: "Now we have to make a choice." We currently have information that is crucial to Wu Meng. But we're not sure if there's anyone else watching us. ”
Sun Qi weighed the pros and cons and said: "Senior brother, you have thought too much, we were originally guests, and according to ordinary people's thinking, this kind of thing happened in the master's house, and leaving was the best choice." I'm sure they won't refuse. ”
"But they also have reason to doubt us." Wei Ziheng, after thinking for a while, said: "I have a way, at least for the time being, to ensure that we are worry-free, we will now go and propose to them that we want to leave, and then after a short conversation, we still decided to stay, I believe that such a move will make those who doubt us feel a little confused." After all, the art of war is cloudy, and dangerous places are just different from person to person, and if they are used properly, they will become a sharp weapon in their hands. ”
After some more careful discussion, the two decided to go to the strange little courtyard. At that time, there was no one else in the small courtyard, only one or two young disciples who were cleaning. According to the guidance of the two young disciples, it seemed that the others were in their respective residences.
After asking again, the two went to the location of Ji Jianyong, the leader of the Wu League.
The man guarding the door was unusually burly, and seemed to be some good fighters, and after a series of reports, the two entered the residence.
Ji Jianyong walked out with a smile on his face, looked at the two in front of him and said, "Wei Ziheng, Sun Qi Xiaoyou, what are you two doing here?" ”
Wei Ziheng stretched out his hands, made a fist posture, and said very respectfully: "Alliance leader, what has happened in the past two days is really a lot, the two of us are guests of the Wu League, and we don't want to bother you anymore, the two of us want to leave, originally our brothers are preparing to go north to the Central Plains, ready to travel to the mountains and rivers, and make friends with strange people and strange people." I hope that the alliance leader will agree. ”
Ji Jianyong thought for a while, and also clasped his hands into fists and said: "So that's the case, it's true that the current Wu League is indeed a little dangerous, if the two of you stay here for a long time, I'm afraid it will be unfavorable to you." As I said before, I would be happy if I wanted to stay and be a part of our Wu League. At the same time, if you want to leave, I will not stop you.
Since the two of you want to leave, then I will arrange for someone to send you out of the mountain. ”
What's going on? I agreed so readily. Wei Ziheng and Sun Qi looked at each other, it seemed that this matter was going a little smoothly, but after thinking about it carefully, it was true, the lord of the Wu League had already made his position clear at a very early stage, although there was a hint of bad meaning in leaving at this time, but he still did not break his promise.
"If that's the case, then thank you to the Wu Alliance Master." Wei Ziheng and Sun Qi thanked each other at the same time.
"Wait!" Suddenly there was a shout of shouting outside the door. Immediately afterwards, a big man opened his eyes and looked directly at Wei Ziheng and Sun Qi: "Alliance leader, I think this is a very moment, these two people must not leave." ”
Ji Jianyong said a little angrily: "What are you talking about?" Do I have to agree with you to make my decision? ”
Tahoe slowly stepped forward and said in a rhetorical manner: "No, alliance leader, you misunderstood, because there is a little evidence in your lower hand, and the two people in front of you are likely to be internal ghosts." ”
"What did you say?" Ji Jianyong's eyes suddenly widened, looking at the two young people in front of him, and he suddenly became suspicious.
