Chapter 33: The Midnight Figure
"What do the people above mean," Yue Sanwolf immediately frowned and retorted, "In the past, our tasks were all above board, why did the slaughter of the Feng family this time make the imperial court want us to hide our identities?"
"I don't know, we'll just do it. Yue Yan's eyes flashed, and he shook his head and sighed.
"If you don't have any doubts, hurry up and change your clothes, and it is estimated that in five days we will be able to rush to Luolong City. Yue Yan said, pulling out a few dusty tattered clothes from the corner of the carriage.
"Ahem......"
When Yue Qi saw his cousin take out a bunch of beggars' clothes, he couldn't help but glance at the expensive clothes he was wearing, and his face was quite ugly.
"Brother Yan, I don't think it's too late for us to change our clothes in Luolong City!" Yue Qi hurriedly said.
"Hmph, don't care about your image, you kid, I understand that the Feng family has eyeliner all around Luolong City, if you don't change your outfit, you will definitely be noticed, and when the time comes, you will be recognized, and the task will be in vain." Yue Yan snorted coldly, a trace of displeasure flashing across his face.
After hesitating again and again, Yue Qi still couldn't resist his cousin's cold eyes, and honestly changed his clothes.
After a pillar of incense, the group burned the changed clothes, and in their place were five tattered beggars in the originally richly decorated carriage.
Getting into the carriage again, Gu Xi's eyes slowly swept over Yue Yan, he always felt that this person was not telling the truth, about the reason for the task, this person must have known.
Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years......
Out of caution, Gu Xi didn't fully believe in the task in the bamboo slip, after all, he was ready when he came to the capital, and he still knew a little about the Feng family.
Yue Hai had told him before that the Feng family was not as simple as it seemed, and when he checked the Chen family before, Yue Hai had been hunted down and killed by some of the Feng family's body refining cultivators.
And the imperial court and the Chen family are opposed, and this time they specially sent them to disguise themselves as bandits to enter the city to destroy the wind and the family, a bit too coincidental, will there be any connection between the two?
Gu Xi thought about this, collected his mind, connected several clues, and probably had a bottom in his heart, rubbing his chin, with a thoughtful look on his face.
After a while, no one noticed that the black boy sitting cross-legged in the corner had a slight calculation in his eyes, and a strange smile appeared on his face.
......
Luolong City belongs to Fengyun County, which is one of the twelve counties of Lan Kingdom.
As one of the most powerful Luolong City in Fengyun County, Luolong City is relatively close to the capital, and it is backed by the endless Qianli Mountain, which is advantageous and harmonious.
In this way, Luo Long City can be said to be a big city in Fengyun County, attracting many large and small forces to entrench.
When it comes to the big families in Luolong City, the Feng family with decades of experience is far from being ranked.
However, recently, the Feng family can be regarded as high-spirited, and there are frequent body refining cultivators in the family, and some people have heard that there is a spirit boy sitting in the Feng family.
This can make the Feng family a hot family in Luo Long City, defeating many hostile forces in a short period of time, and ascending to the seat of the top family in Luo Long City.
Five days later, in the evening, a carriage slowly drove into Luolong City, and turned into a mansion in the city unhurriedly.
Bang Bang –
After a while, five young men and girls in ragged clothes slowly got down from the carriage and walked into the house.
These five people were naturally Gu Xi and his party who came in a hurry, among them, a dark-skinned young man was extremely cautious, and when he got out of the car, he used his spare eyes to explore the surroundings of the house.
"Oh, I'm suffocating, I've pretended to be my grandson along the way, and I'm actually asking me to enter the city for silver, and when this mission is over, I have to peel off the skin of the officers and soldiers guarding the city. As soon as he entered the room, the handsome young man kicked the wooden stool at his feet and said indignantly.
After saying that, the young man unloaded the package on his back, shrank in the corner and began to count the remaining silver taels in the package.
"Okay, don't count, Yue Qi and other tasks are over, I'll make up the number for you!" Seeing this scene, the elegant-looking young man beside him shook his head helplessly and sighed.
"Hehe, Brother Yan, you are good to me!" Yue Qi in the corner hooked the corners of his mouth and immediately stood up.
Squeak –
The wooden door opened from the outside, and Gu Xi walked in.
As soon as Yue Yan saw Gu Xi, he immediately asked, "How is it, no one is watching around this house, right?"
"Nope. Gu Xi shook his head.
"Huh......" Yue Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and then said with a smile, "This mansion was bought by the imperial court decades ago, and almost everyone who knows it has gone to the ground." ”
Hearing this, Gu Xi, who came in, changed his expression, sat on the stool and drank the wine in his bag, and didn't say anything.
At this time, Yue Qi leaned over and asked, "Cousin, when will you act regarding the slaughter of the Feng family?"
Yue Yan shook his head and chuckled: "What's the hurry, it may be self-defeating to be in a hurry, tomorrow we have to explore the reality of the Feng family first, and then make plans." ”
"By the way, Brother Yan, rashly making a move against the Feng family, will it break the pattern of Luolong City. Yue Ruge frowned and made a pleasant voice.
"Of course not, the imperial court sent us, naturally they have their plans, and the officers and soldiers of Luo Long City will not come to support the Feng family when we act. Yue Yan suddenly turned his head and smiled at Yue Ruge.
"Brother Yan, the children of your face wind family remember it clearly, why don't you let me go to tomorrow's investigation. Yue Sanwolf's eyes flashed and said.
Yue Yan pondered for a moment, and said with a somewhat solemn expression: "Well, indeed, I, Ruge and Yue Qi have walked around the Feng family before, and tomorrow's investigation of the news will be mainly based on you and Wang Erniu, and the three of us will assist on the side." ”
After speaking, Yue Yan seemed to sense something, and hurriedly said, "It's not early, you guys should rest early." ”
"Yes. ”
After several people answered, they each walked to the house.
However, before Gu Xi left, he glanced at Yue Yan with ulterior motives through the crack in the door.
Just now, he clearly saw a figure flashing outside the window, but the speed of that person was so fast that if he hadn't reacted in time, he wouldn't have noticed the slightest thing.
After entering the room, Gu Xi sat cross-legged.
After a while, Gu Xi slowly opened his eyes, a golden light suddenly appeared from it, and a faint trace of golden light escaped, through the window, he saw a vague figure standing above the room.
With a click, Yue Yan sneakily opened the door, kicked his foot on the ground, and scurried to the top of the house.
In such a situation, Gu Xi didn't dare to get close to half a point at all, he knew that this person's cultivation was more than one grade higher than him, and if he rushed over, he would most likely be discovered.
Therefore, Gu Xi had to mobilize his spiritual power to urge the golden pupils in his eyes, and he could barely hear a few words.
A quarter of an hour later, the figure on the roof dispersed, Gu Xi closed his golden pupils, and a smile oozed from the corner of his mouth.
