Chapter 41 [The Great Thief] (I)

History will eventually follow her original trajectory, my appearance may just add a hurried passer-by to this era, after the successive events of shifting light and Ji and Yue, I suddenly had a feeling of wandering and helplessness, in such an ancient and distant era, I am like a wanderer in the rain, I can't even control my own fate, how can I change the fate of others?

The night breeze was cold, I sat alone on the platform of Lan Kwai Fong, looking at the Nanchi River from afar, my eyes were full of confusion, and my heart had reminded myself countless times that I did not belong to this era, but the sad eyes of Ji and Yue when they parted were still clearly imprinted in my mind, and I couldn't erase them for a long time.

"Get out of here as soon as possible!" I quietly reminded myself in my heart that if I continued to stay here, I was afraid that one day, I would not be able to give up everything here.

There was a rhythmic sound of footsteps behind me, and I turned around, but it was Kao Lie who came to me with Yan Zifeng.

I smiled: "Is it important for Brother Yan to come to me so late?" “

Yan Zifeng nodded and said, "Childe, I do have something important to discuss with you." ”

I took a step back and leaned against the railing: "Say it! ”

Yan Zifeng said: "Someone entrusted me to help eradicate a person!" ”

I smiled indifferently: "I said a long time ago that you can solve the internal affairs of the gang by yourself, and I will not interfere." ”

Yan Zifeng said: "But he asked me to kill Duanmu Ci!" ”

"What?" I couldn't help but be taken aback, and stared at Yan Zifeng with blazing eyes: "Who entrusted you to do it?" ”

Yan Zifeng said: "The person who asked me to do this is named Tian Wugui, an acquaintance of mine many years ago, and we used to mix together in Huiji City in the past. ”

I nodded and said, "He has a grudge against Duanmu Ci?" ”

Yan Zifeng frowned and said: "I also thought so at the beginning, because of Lu Ergou's matter, I considered that he might also be seeking wealth, but later I learned that this Tian Wugui has been working with the Dinghai merchant Like all these years, and there is a chance that this matter was made by Like!" ”

I gasped, didn't this Tanuki come specifically to do pearl business with Duanmu Ci? If buying and selling is not benevolent, why would you want to put Duanmu to death?

Yan Zifeng said in a low voice: "I have checked the background of the fox and found that although this person is the largest pearl merchant in Dinghai on the surface, he has a close connection with pirates behind the scenes, I estimate that this time his transaction with Duanmu Ci is just an illusion, and his real intentions are extremely vicious." ”

I said coldly, "It seems that Tanuki is really not a good thing. ”

Yan Zifeng said with a smile: "There is no business or treachery, it is understandable for Tanuki to do this, has the son found out that Duanmu Ci did not bring much gold this time, could it be that the transaction between him and Tanuki is not with gold, but with other treasures." ”

After being reminded by Yan Zifeng, I couldn't help frowning and said, "Could it be that Duanmu Ci is exchanging other treasures with Tanuki?" ”

Yan Zifeng lowered his voice and said: "I heard that what Lijiao used to trade this time was not an ordinary pearl, but the lost treasure Ruyi Pearl of Yan Kingdom, that Ruyi Pearl, if you want to be happy, you will be angry, you will be angry, you will dispel disasters and pray for blessings, as you like, if he really uses this treasure to trade, then Duanmu must have an equally precious treasure." ”

I suddenly realized from Yan Zifeng's eyes full of desire that the reason why Yan Zifeng said this must be because he had the idea of taking possession of the treasures of the two parties.

Yan Zifeng said in a low voice: "Childe, with such a good opportunity under our noses, there is no need to let him slip away in vain!" ”

I laughed, Yan Zifeng didn't understand why I was laughing, he looked at me with some embarrassment, and after a long time, I stopped laughing: "Brother Yan, do you know a word?" Pifu is not guilty, he is guilty, who doesn't want to get the treasure, but first of all, he has to weigh his own weight, Duanmu Ci is by no means an ordinary person, that raccoon dog also has considerable strength according to what you said, even if we can plunder the treasure in their hands, wouldn't it be equivalent to getting a hot potato, it is difficult to say whether it is a blessing or a curse for us. ”

Kaoli nodded in agreement: "Childe is right, with our current strength, it's better not to cause this trouble." ”

When Yan Zifeng saw me say this, he had to sigh and said, "Since Gongzi has already made a decision, this matter will be stopped." ”

After Yan Zifeng left, Kaoli said to me: "I don't think Yan Zifeng may be willing to do this!" ”

I smiled indifferently: "You should keep an eye on this matter, and if he has any trouble, come and report it to me immediately." ”

Kao Lie cautiously probed: "Childe seems to want to help Duanmuci?" ”

I smiled and nodded: "Duanmu Ci is by no means an idle person, even if I don't help him this time, with his wisdom, nothing will happen, but the open gun is easy to dodge and the dark arrow is difficult to prevent, and I had better remind him of the matter of the raccoon dog." ”

"Don't worry, I'll go and inform him!"

I thought about it for a moment before I said, "Forget it, I'll go there myself!" ”

Kaoli said: "Let Dai Kaishan accompany you!" ”

Dai Kaishan and I came to the Rising Sun Inn, but we didn't find Duanmuci, and after asking the store, we found out that he went out in the afternoon and still hasn't come back.

Thinking of the matter of the raccoon dog to deal with him, I couldn't help but feel a little worried in my heart, and I just happened to see Qin Ran coming in from outside the door, and hurriedly stepped forward: "Mr. Qin! ”

Qin Ran didn't expect to meet me here, and said in surprise: "Did Gongzi Lu come to find my senior brother?" ”

I nodded, grabbed him by the sleeve, led him to a secluded place, and whispered to him what I had received.

Qin Ran's face also changed, and he said in shock: "Oh no, my senior brother went to Tanuki's dinner tonight, I thought he was back." ”

Dai Kaishan and I glanced at each other, and we both felt that this matter was not trivial, maybe Tanuki had already made a move on Duanmu.

I whispered, "Does Mr. Qin know where they went?" ”

Qin Ran nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then said with an embarrassed expression: "They went to the Inviting Moon Pavilion!" ”

I immediately understood why Qin Ran seemed embarrassed, as a disciple of Kong Lao Er, he actually went to drink flower wine, this Duanmu Ci was really not simple, but after thinking about it, since it was a business occasion, it was definitely inevitable.

I said to Qin Ran: "Let's go, let's go and have a look!" ”

Inviting Moon Pavilion and Chunshui Lou were originally the two most famous brothels in Huiji, since I took over Chunshui Building, the business there has plummeted, but indirectly completed the Inviting Moon Pavilion, and now the Inviting Moon Pavilion has become the leading brothel in Huiji, and there is no competitor who has the strength to compete with it.

Inviting Moon Pavilion is located on the bank of the Xishui River, there is a small wharf in front of the building, every night, there are paintings moored on the wharf, and the glamorous courtesans sit on the ** guests of the painting boat to enjoy the selection point. Once the prostitute is selected, the guest pays a certain amount of money, and then he can take the courtesan and the painting boat along the Xishui River to have fun, and stay overnight in the painting boat to enjoy the joy of fish and water.

When Qin Ran and I arrived, there was no painting boat on the dock, it seems that the business of Invite Yue Pavilion tonight is very hot, after all, I and Invite Moon Pavilion are peers, I am worried that they will recognize it, so I asked Qin Ran to inquire about the whereabouts of Invite Yue Pavilion.

Qin Ran went for a long time, and then he walked out with a red face and whispered to me, "Let's go...... It is said that they traveled west on the Phantom Cloud Painting Boat against the current. ”

Dai Kaishan said: "Not far to the west is Jingpo Lake, if they go there, it will be difficult to find it." ”

Qin Ran said worriedly: "It's bad, what if something really happens to my senior brother?" ”

I smiled and comforted him, "Don't worry, I don't think that Tanuki really has that much courage, maybe they are just drinking and having fun tonight." In his heart, he vaguely felt that Duanmu Ci was very likely to encounter danger tonight, so he turned to Dai Kaishan and said: "Kaishan, you go to Kaoli immediately, let him take more people to Jingpo Lake, and Mr. Qin and I will chase along the river bank first!" ”

Dai Kaishan nodded: "Son, be careful!" ”

Qin Ran and I searched all the way along the bank of the Xishui River in the direction of Jingpo Lake, and hired a small boat not far ahead for the boatman to row towards Jingbo Lake.

Along the way, we paid attention to the boats passing by, and did not see the Phantom Cloud Boat that Duanmu Ci was riding. My heart gradually became heavier, this Duanmu Ci can't be a short-lived ghost, really harmed by the raccoon dogs, right? But according to this history in my memory, Zigong doesn't seem to be so unlucky and short-lived, he should have died in Qi in the end, and the most famous in history, Zigong came out, Cunlu, chaotic Qi, broke Wu, strong Jin and overpowered, Zigong made a messenger, so that the situation was broken, in ten years, the five countries have their own changes. It still hasn't happened, so how could he die?

The boat has already marched into Jingbo Lake, there are bursts of singing and laughter on the lake, looking around, there are dozens of painting boats swimming on the lake, and there are countless Lan boats coming and going, Qin Ran can't help but cry bitterly: "There are so many painting boats, where can we find him?" ”

I said calmly: "Don't worry, as long as you look carefully, you will definitely be able to find it." ”

The boatman's level of oars is very superb, after taking my heavy money, he performed particularly hard, rowing a small boat back and forth on the lake, looking for about half an hour or so, Qin Ran and I almost saw a painted boat decorated with flowers in front of us almost at the same time, and the four words Phantom Cloud Listening to Snow were written on a string of red lights hanging on the bow of the boat, Qin Ran said excitedly: "It must be it!" ”

I nodded, looked up, but saw that the lights were still on in the cabin, and I could vaguely see a figure shaking, thinking that there should be someone inside, and my heart was a little settled. He took out a piece of broken gold and handed it to the boatman, and said decisively: "Hit me hard in the middle of the boat!" ”

The boatman hesitated for a moment, looked at the gold in his hand again, and finally made up his mind, and said in a low voice: "The two masters are seated!" He rowed the boat with all his might, and the hull dragged a white line of water at the tail of the boat as it traveled at high speed, and the pointed bow of the boat was aimed at the middle of the boat.

With a screeching sound of wood cracking, the middle of the boat actually hit a big hole with all its might, and the bow of the small boat we were riding in was completely shattered, but fortunately it was embedded in the boat, and it did not sink for a while.

There was a series of exclamations on the painting boat, and I saw two green-clothed girls screaming and escaping, and then I saw several men, one of whom was Duanmu Ci, and seeing that he was safe and sound, Qin Ran and I were immediately relieved.

A hoarse voice shouted angrily, "Blind your dog's eyes? How do you row? A middle-aged man beside Duanmu Ci pointed at us and roared, he looked like he was in his thirties, his face was dark, his face was full of beard, and he was slightly red, and he looked very prominent in the crowd.

Duanmu Ci was stunned for a moment when he saw us, and then a smile appeared on his face that could only be understood, and he said calmly: "Your ship is about to sink, so let's come up first!" "He was very intelligent, and he didn't break our identity, and invited us to the ship with a word.

I whispered to Qin Ran, "Pretend not to know them!" ”

Qin Ran nodded silently, although he is usually pedantic, he has also learned to act a little bit when he is with me.

Duanmuci personally pulled us onto the boat with an oar, and I bowed my hand and said, "Thank you brother!" ”

Tanuki snorted coldly: "What a disappointment!" He turned to Duanmu Ci and smiled, "Brother Duanmu, we don't have to pay attention to them, go back and drink." ”

Duanmu Ci showed me a meaningful smile and said calmly: "It's late, this incident has happened again, it's better to go back as soon as possible." ”

The raccoon glared at me hatefully, turned around and said loudly, "Return!" ”

At this time, the old man who was in charge of supporting the boat said: "It's broken, the water is seeping under the painting boat, and it needs to be repaired before we can move forward." ”

I apologized and said: "It's all my fault for this matter, don't worry, the two brothers, all the losses tonight will be counted on my head!" ”

A chuckle suddenly came from behind the bead curtain: "Young Master Lu is so generous, why don't you buy all this ship!" ”

I was stunned in my heart, I didn't expect someone on this boat to see through my identity, I turned to look, but saw a charming girl out of the cabin, a pair of seductive beautiful eyes on my face glanced, a smile on the pretty face rippled upside down sentient beings, the posture of the fan in his hand sultry to cover the cherry lips, this half-covered and half-hidden feeling added a bit of mystery to her charming, she said softly: "Such a big crystal lake, Young Master Lu just hit my painting boat, is deliberately looking for my Chun Xuemei's bad luck, Or did you really meet me? ”
