The eve of the quiet storm to (2)
"It was a month ago. On that day, he was ordered by the Lord of the Cliff to assassinate the Lord of the Lu Mansion, but the two of them alone destroyed the killers of the White Twilight Villa. At that time, I noticed this woman, and afterwards I ordered someone to check her details. As a result, I learned that she was the person that the Central Plains Imperial Court had been secretly looking for for a year, Yunhou's concubine, and Ji was designed by someone that day, and she fell into the rivers and lakes for unknown reasons.
It's just that she was too far away that day, and through the hazy rain curtain, I couldn't see her face clearly. In the end, the corners of Ke Tianxu's mouth couldn't help but overflow with a shallow smile of emotion, both a little curious and a little regretful.
Ke Tianxu even felt that he was a little ridiculous, he didn't even know the woman's appearance and temperament, and he wanted to take someone else's own. However, the woman who can make Lu Jingxing and Yan Lingzhan care so much, he thinks that this woman's temperament and appearance should not be bad. is also robbing a woman with Yanlingzhan, of course he can't cheapen Lu Jingxing for nothing.
Gu Panman looked at the green mountains and clouds in the distance, and smiled playfully: "Your revenge is risky, be careful to get back a rude and arrogant ugly girl, then the second half of the Kemen master's life will be interesting." Who doesn't know that Yunhou's power is monstrous, and the heart of the six princes to marry her is probably self-evident. But in this way, although you have put yourself in, you can still make Yanling Stack lose a big tree. Worthwhile. ”
A faint layer of worry condensed between Gu Minluo's eyebrows, lowered his head and sighed lightly, hesitating in his heart, but he still had to open his mouth again: "Brother Ke still thinks twice and behaves well, this matter is very important." Even if Yanling Zhan doesn't really care, then Yun Hou is afraid that he won't let you go, if he causes unnecessary trouble for Feitou Cliff, it will be difficult for his father-in-law to explain. ”
"It doesn't matter. By then, the wood has been completed, and what else can he do, he doesn't have to compromise obediently. This Zhong Liyan, I want to decide, and I will take her down with my own hands today. Ke Tianxu was calm and calm, and he didn't care about what Gu Minluo said.
At the moment, the various sects are still searching for clues separately, shuttling on the slopes of the nearby mountains and forests, and even not letting go of a single grass or tree. However, Ke Tianxu did things too cleanly, and according to the clues that Lu Ci got that day, they broke off in this vicinity, and now so many people are acting separately, but there is still no progress. They also asked the local villagers, but those people looked at a loss, and they could not use force to force these ordinary people who were helpless.
The scorching sun was shining, Lu Jingxing held Lu Li's sword in his hand, stood under a tree, looked at the farmers who were leisurely farming on the mountain in twos and threes, and fell into silence with a suspicious look on his face. Ling Xiao walked from the winding path, looked at him, and said, "You also have doubts about these aboriginal mountain people?" ”
"Well, it seems that Xiao Xiao also found out. These people are too suspicious, they are working well, but they are not like a farmer who has been working for a long time, you can see their movements, they are not skillful. And the way of holding the hoe, so laborious. If it were a normal farmer, it would never be like this. I'm thinking that we have been misled by the clues we already have, and that the direction of the search seems to be wrong, and it shouldn't be on dead objects, and the key clues are still in these people. Lu Jingxing's words were calm, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes never left the movements in the hands of those farmers.
When Ling Xiao heard Lu Jingxing say this, he also fixed his eyes on a farmer holding a hoe, but he didn't see the reason. She frowned blankly, and sighed softly: "Lu Daxia has never done farm work?" I don't see anything unusual about their hoeing, but each of them holds the hoe differently, which may have something to do with habit. But you're really observing. ”
For Ling Xiao, a person who had never done farm work, it was really difficult for her to find abnormalities in this aspect. Of course, not only Ling Xiao, but also people from other sects, who don't know anything about farming, so how can they pay attention to this.
The two of them were immersed in the thick shade, their clothes fluttered in the wind, Lu Jingxing shook his head, and whispered: "I have never done farm work, but I learned to grow medicinal herbs with my father when I was a child, and these most basic skills were told to me by my father, and I have not forgotten them over the years." So how did Xiao Xiao find these people suspicious? ”
"It seems that this time we are thinking about things from a different angle. I mean, although there are men and women in this mountain village, we haven't seen a single old man or child for so long, which is completely unreasonable. Ling Xiao's face was full of suspicion. Synthesizing Lu Jingxing's words, she thought about it carefully, and became more and more sure of the conjecture in her heart, feeling that there was something wrong with these people. Perhaps the key to rescuing Lu Bo and them is these people, and these people may be the people who take care of Lu Bo and them. Of course, Lu Jingxing also thought of this.
However, the two quickly realized a serious and terrible thing, their hearts jumped, and they glanced at each other, and Lu Jingxing opened his mouth first: "The crops here are lush, and it is definitely not the result of these people's labor. It seems that most of the indigenous mountain people here have been replaced by these thieves. ”
"These people are so ruthless, in order to deal with us, even ordinary people refuse to let go. We're still late. Not only did it come too late, but it was too late to wake up, most of the people who flew through the cliff had already received the news from these people, and they would take action against us, and it seemed that the matter of saving people could not be delayed any longer. Ling Xiao looked at the farmers who were farming, his eyes were cold, but his face could not hide his anxiety.
Lu Jingxing's hand holding the sword tightened a little, suppressed the resentment in his heart, and his face was calm: "Well, but you can't be in a hurry, so as not to startle the snake." First of all, I will consult with everyone, most of these people are dead soldiers, and it is necessary to act secretly against them, and I believe that the results will be found out soon. ”
"Who?!" The sound of sneaky footsteps gradually approached behind the two, Ling Xiao let out a cold sound, and turned around vigilantly to see that an old man in tattered clothes was walking towards her and Lu Jing, with a wry smile on his yellow face.
Ling Xiao's heart was relieved, the corners of his mouth overflowed with a touch of ridicule, and he said leisurely: "You are quite fast, and you found this place without much effort." After living a lot of age, it seems that he still can't let go of life and death! What do you think? How does that palm of mine feel? ”
Lu Jingxing almost turned around with Ling Xiao, and when he saw the man's face clearly, his face instantly became gloomy, and his tone was lukewarm: "What? So sneaky, what do you want to do? ”
"I think the Lord of the Lu Mansion has misunderstood, how dare the old man not get along with you. Miss Ling, now that I'm here, why don't you return the old weapon to me first? You see, the situation is not optimistic, and you can't deal with thieves without weapons. The old man rubbed his hands uncomfortably, laughed very embarrassedly, and walked towards the two step by step, beating a drum in his heart. He was scared now, Ling Xiao's palm had tormented him for two days, and at this moment he was afraid of angering her. He knew that it was impossible to get the antidote to the Gu poison now, so he could only try to get the weapon back first.
Ling Xiao glanced coldly at the old man with yellow taro, and angrily pointed his eyes to the black spirit mangled under the tree not far away, and said flatly: "In its belly, go get it yourself." ”
"Huh? Miss Ling, aren't you embarrassed to be old? Who dares to provoke this black spirit easily, how can this beast dare to swallow anything. The old man turned his head to look, and Hei Lingmang opened his mouth to meet his gaze, making his face look ugly immediately, and for a moment his heart was dripping blood. However, he had a flash of inspiration, and then reacted, "No, that's dark iron, and I have quenched a huge poison on the leaves, and this beast will die if it eats it." ”
"Your weapon was taken by Lu Ci to open the way, and I will give it to you later. You know the purpose of our stay. Since you're here, don't be idle, go down the mountain, and visit from door to door, it's a good opportunity for you to show off your skills. Ling Xiao turned around and looked down the mountain, his light words were casual and casual, but they were serious.
Old Man Huang Yao didn't need to ask, when Ling Xiao's voice fell, he knew her intentions. It's to take those enemies by surprise first, weaken a small part of the opponent's combat power, and find clues by the way, maybe those who are captured are trapped in those houses. However, he quickly looked embarrassed again: "But the old and decayed lines are all with Lu Gongzi, how should this be?" ”
Lu Jingxing and Ling Xiao stood side by side, their black hair half draped over their shoulders, fluttering gently. He replied simply: "I believe this matter will not be difficult for you." ”
Now that his life has been taken into the hands of others, the old man does not dare to deal with these two people anymore. In order to save your life, it is the right choice to do what you are told. He braved the scorching sun and refused to go down the mountain. Although Lu Ci found a lot of poison on him that day, it was not all. People who have been in the rivers and lakes all the year round, how can they not leave a hand, they just hide deeply.
"Mansion Master, the Dark Pavilion has caught a suspicious person, please come over." Lu Jingxing's men stood still not far behind the two of them, arching their hands holding swords.
Lu Jingxing's expression froze slightly, glanced at Ling Xiao, and instructed the person behind him: "Lead the way." ”
The subordinate respectfully walked in front to lead the way, and Ling Xiao went with Lu Jingxing. And the black spirit under the tree saw that his master was gone, and he didn't need to call, so he followed from behind.
The three of them walked through a sparse forest of more than 100 meters, and walked a downhill path, looking down, and saw a group of people gathered under a large boulder in the distance, surrounding a man in short clothes in the middle, and a wheelbarrow was placed next to the man. It seemed that people from other sects had arrived, and they quickened their pace down the hill.
Seeing Lu Jingxing and the three of them coming, the subordinates who were watching the excitement in the outer circle consciously gave way and watched them enter.
