At night, a pale orange fire bloomed in the dim darkness engulfed the tissue paper flying in the air, and a woman looked at the last flame and smiled inexplicably. Δ Ω net. Her dress was also the same orange-red flame color.
"At this time, my father actually told me to clean the portal? Do you want me to hone in on my strength and grow into strength, or do I want to temper my mind through actual combat before then? ”
When the words fell, she continued to look up, looking at the starry night sky above, and hummed faintly.
"But it's okay, just waiting in this Silverwing City is too boring."
……
When Ning Yue came to Qingfeng City again, it was already the morning of the third day after getting the task, and the date of release ordered by his own commander was the day before.
Silver Wing City and Qingfeng City are not close to each other, and it will take more than four days to go back and forth, so he doesn't want to delay, so he simply leaves in advance. Moreover, this is the first time that he has not been led by the rest of the Red Wolf members, and it will take time to collect intelligence and prepare on the ground, so he can only prepare as early as possible.
"Zhili, wake up, it's here."
Ning Yue touched Zhili, who was curled up in his arms and sleeping, and the two rode together, Zhili had been sitting in front and held by him, she had nothing to do on horseback, and basically fell into a deep sleep quickly.
What's more, this morning, in order to hurry, Ning Yue didn't wake up Zhili at all, even covered a roll, threw it and started galloping.
"Huh? Have you had breakfast? ”
With a sigh, Zhili's rubbing eyes gradually opened, and her whole little face was full of sleepiness.
Ning Yue smiled helplessly and replied: "Let's find an inn to live in first, it's time to have a good meal these days." Just eat whatever you want for breakfast, and take you to eat good at noon. ”
"Really?"
Suddenly, Zhili's tiredness was swept away, and her eyes were full of excitement.
Seeing her easily satisfied appearance, Ning Yue smiled again and nodded, "Of course it's true." ”
At the beginning, Chang Xuanxuan in Qingfeng City introduced him to a good shop, and he also met Su Qian there. This time I'm back, so naturally I'll take Zhili to try it by the way. Before leaving, in addition to the horses and blades, the commander assigned him a lot of entanglements, far beyond the normal accommodation and food for a few days.
The inn is looking for a shop that is not too inconspicuous, less than a mile away from the most prosperous street in Qingfeng City, and the business is quite good, when Ning Yue went in to ask, there was only one room left. Asked about the size of the room, and after a little thought, he still paid to take Zhili upstairs.
At the same time, he vaguely noticed that the shopkeeper had some smiling eyes, and he could only sigh helplessly in his heart.
After entering the house, Zhili cheered and lay directly on the soft big bed. Seeing her like this, Ning Yue smiled and said, "If Zhili is tired, it's okay to sleep for a while, and I will tell the shopkeeper to bring some early." ”
"Huh?"
Zhili was stunned for a moment, bowed and sat up, and asked, "Brother Ning Yue is going out?" ”
"Yes. Don't forget, we're not here to play, we have a mission to do. Ning Yue nodded, put the Dark Xuan Ancient Sword on the table beside him, and only stuck a dagger on his belt and covered it with his coat.
Today he just went out to see the situation, acting as low-key as possible, he didn't plan to do anything, and there was no need to wear a sword, especially the strange Dark Xuan Ancient Sword, which was so easy for others to notice.
"I'll be back before lunch and take you to something good."
Who knows, Zhili didn't cheer as usual, but thought a little and replied: "That...... Brother Ning Yue, since Zhili is here with you, don't go to complete the task alone, okay? ”
Pressing her little head, Ning Yue responded: "I know, I'm just going to find out the information, and I won't do anything with others." You stay in your room and don't go out. ”
With that, he turned around and walked out of the room, and after greeting the shopkeeper, he went downstairs and left the inn directly.
The destination Ning Yue had already remembered in his heart, and the information provided to him by the red wolf indicated the street number, and it was not difficult to find it by asking along the way. Besides, the place he was going to was in Qingfeng City, which was known to everyone and everyone, and he was not far away, so he quickly saw where the target was.
It was a compound that did not look luxurious from the outside, it occupied a large area, and the decoration of the main entrance was not ornate, the gate was tightly hidden, and there were no guards standing guard at the gate.
But I don't know what the situation is inside.
After a few glances left and right, Ning Yue came to a breakfast stall diagonally opposite the mansion, and sat down with his clothes brushed off.
Seeing that a guest was coming, the stall owner of the guy and owner hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, and while wiping the somewhat greasy table, he asked with a smile as much as he could, "This guest, what is there?" I see that you are born in person, you should be a foreigner, right? Don't look at my small stall, there are a lot of delicious things. ”
"Well, what's the sign?" Ning Yue's mind was not here at all, and he replied casually.
"Haggis noodle soup, a bowl to try? Plus two side dishes to make sure you have a good time. ”
"Okay."
Waving his hand to signal the stall owner to get busy, Ning Yue paid attention to the surroundings, there were a lot of breakfast stalls on both sides of the street here, but they were not too close to the mansion, and within twenty meters of the gate and on both sides, it was even more empty. Even if the breakfast stall is crowded, it will not occupy the place over there.
Of course, this is also very common, after all, rich families certainly don't like to have a long line of food stalls in front of their homes.
While waiting for the boss to be busy, Ning Yue quickly recalled the tasks and information he had obtained in his heart.
Qingfeng City, a wealthy businessman, is expensive. The Hai family was originally an official in politics more than 20 years ago, but because the head of the family of that generation committed an accident, he was beheaded in public, and the rest of the family members were beaten back to their hometowns, and their descendants were never allowed to be re-employed. However, relying on the contacts accumulated before, the Hai family has been prosperous in business.
However, on the surface, they are engaged in the grain trade, but in private, they are far more than that, and many underground casinos are controlled by the Hai family. Moreover, since the establishment of the Snow Dragon Empire, the slave trade has been prohibited, but it is said that the Hai family has been secretly trafficking in human beings, and has colluded with the Holy Mission Church.
This time, Red Wolf's commission is said to be a bankrupt trader who used the money borrowed from others to put it together, giving up preparing for a comeback, and instead buying a murderer. offended the Hai family on the trade road, and his wife and daughter were taken away by them, and he had no intention of hiding his name, waiting for a comeback and a shame.
It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. However, how many people are gentlemen, and how many people can endure hatred for ten years?
While thinking about it, the stall owner put a large bowl of steaming haggis noodles on Ning Yue's table, and was about to hand out two small plates of side dishes when his arm suddenly trembled, and there was a trace of uneasiness in his eyes.
Ning Yue naturally couldn't have noticed the changes in him, so he didn't ask much, followed the other party's gaze and looked back, and saw that the door of the Hai family was opened, and a man dressed as a noble prince came straight to this stall with a few guards.
"This guest, please move a seat, I'll talk to the stall next door."
After that, the stall owner directly picked up the big bowl in front of Ning Yue again, and actually put it on the table of the stall next door, while the other stall owner didn't say much. Not only that, the guests at the other two tables didn't need to say much at all, they moved to the side with their bowls, and some saw that there was no place, and even squatted directly under the corner of the wall to eat noodles, vacating all the tables in this stall.
"What's going on? Aren't there still plenty of vacancies here? When a new guest arrives, you drive us away? ”
Ning Yue asked casually, got up at the same time, and did not sit still. He came to inquire about the news this time, but he didn't want to cause more trouble.
"It's hard to put it into words, the guest is a foreigner, of course I don't know. This one, I'm invited, okay? ”
Raising his hand and gently pushing Ning Yue, the stall owner hurriedly rushed out of the stall, beckoning the noble son and the few guards who followed, looking at that look, it seemed that he was entertaining his elders, respectful.
Sitting at the table of another stall, Ning Yue had just picked up the chopsticks, and another guest who came over with noodle soup said in a low voice: "The third son of the Hai family is violent by nature and very suspicious, and no strangers are allowed at the tables around him when eating. The haggis soup he cooked, he would always come out and eat it every two or three days. People who live in our neighborhood know it, and when they see it, give up their seats. Several times, people who were uninformed and did not listen to persuasion refused to leave. In each case, all of them were dragged back to the mansion by his entourage, and no one ever saw them come out again. ”
At the end, he made a gesture of slitting his throat.
"If he is so afraid that others will harm him, he must have done a lot of bad things, right? Moreover, taking people away in public like this, are the laws of the empire all decorations? Nobody cares? ”
Ning Yue frowned and asked, although he had obtained some information, but after all, such a small piece of paper, even if it was a small letter, he couldn't write too much.
"Tube? Who cares? The City Lord's Mansion and the Hai family are in collusion, and it's useless. Go to the imperial capital to sue? If you offend them, you may not even go out of the city gates. And do you know who is behind this wall that we are now backing to? The Zhang family, the side branch of the Zhang family in the imperial capital, has power in Qingfeng City comparable to half of the city lord's mansion, and the high-level of the city guards, many of them are from his family. Moreover, they have a very good relationship with the Hai family......"
As the diner spoke, he suddenly noticed that a guard seemed to be watching him not far away, and he hurriedly shut up, hurriedly ate a few bites of noodles, snapped a few copper plates, and got up to leave.
Immediately afterwards, Ning Yue noticed that a guard leaned over to the third son of the Hai family and whispered a few words in his ear, and then, the other side seemed to notice his gaze, and suddenly turned his head to look.
It's just that Ning Yue moved faster, and when the other party looked at him, he was already eating noodles with his head down, pretending to be nothing.
He didn't look back, but he could hear the sound of footsteps hurrying away from the stall in the same direction as the diner.
The hand holding the chopsticks suddenly froze, Ning Yue frowned, casually left a silver coin on the table, and stood up. He could feel that there were still people watching him.
However, he did not stop because of this, and walked out of the stall, but chose to walk out quickly in the opposite direction from the two people just now.
Glimpsing this scene, a guard of the Hai family hesitated for a while, and when he finally decided to chase after him, he was stopped by the third son of the Hai family.
"Forget it, a curious person will retreat from the difficulty. Since you are gone, let him go. ”
At the other end, when turning to another road, Ning Yue peeked behind him, and after confirming that no one was following, he took a deep breath, and in the next moment, his steps were as fast as the wind, and he began to gallop with all his strength in the direction perpendicular to the original road.
In a big town like Aomine City, the roads extend in all directions, and as long as the overall direction is the same as a few times, you can meet each other. If it's fast enough, you can catch up with it with a little more detour!
