Chapter 121: Looking for the Snake King
The night was late, the wind was cold, and the leaves were rustling in the cool breeze.
Lu Xiaofeng found Jiang Chongwei, and he wanted to ask Jiang Chongwei for some clues.
Lu Xiaofeng said softly: "She has already left......"
The person who left was called Jiang Qingxia, and she was Jiang Chongwei's sister. Lu Xiaofeng found a pair of embroidered red satin shoes in Jiang Qingxia's green cloth shoes, and he had also seen it from the woman next to him.
Jiang Chongwei clenched his fists, and the corners of his eyes kept twitching, making his empty and godless eyes even more weird and terrifying.
When Lu Xiaofeng saw him, he suspected that he didn't say anything, and immediately asked, "What else do you know?" ”
Jiang Chongwei's expression was very painful, and he hesitated for a while before saying, "I saw red shoes!" ”
Lu Xiaofeng exclaimed: "The red shoes worn by the embroidery thief? ”
Jiang Chongwei said: "I also thought about it for a long time before I remembered...... Just as the light of the needle flashed before my eyes, I saw a pair of red shoes, red as blood. ”
Hearing this, Lu Xiaofeng said slowly: "She is not an embroidery thief. ”
Jiang Chongwei said eagerly: "Why? ”
Lu Xiaofeng sighed: "Although her martial arts are good, she has not yet reached the point where she can use silver needles to stab Chang Mantian and Hua Yifan blindly." The martial arts of the two of them are also very good. ”
Jiang Chongwei let out a long breath and muttered, "That's good, that's good......"
Lu Xiaofeng smiled bitterly: "The only thing I can't figure out now is how a bearded old student walked into the treasure house in the Nanwang Mansion without knowing it. ”
Xue Bing, who had not spoken, suddenly said: "I heard that the little prince is also a master, and his swordsmanship is even the true inheritance of the White Cloud City Lord?" ”
Jiang Chongwei nodded and said, "Not bad." ”
Lu Xiaofeng hurriedly asked, "In the days when the treasure house was stolen, was Ye Gucheng, the lord of Baiyun City, in the palace?" ”
Jiang Chongwei shook his head and said, "Not here!" ”
Lu Xiaofeng stopped talking, he pulled Xue Bing, turned around and left.
As he walked, he muttered to himself: "There are many guards in the Nanwang Mansion, and it is also a treasure house, and the guards there are several times stricter than the mansion. And the treasure house is guarded day and night, how can a bearded man open the door and walk in front of those guards? ”
Xue Bing looked at him and said with a smile: "You also have times when you can't figure it out." ”
Lu Xiaofeng said seriously: "So I must try." ”
Xue Bing's eyes widened and said, "Try it?" Are you crazy or drunk? ”
Lu Xiaofeng didn't speak, his steps were fast.
Xue Bing followed behind him and hurriedly said, "Do you know how many guards there are in the palace?" ”
Lu Xiaofeng said: "I don't know, so I have to find someone to ask, and I want him to give me a map of the palace." ”
Xue Bing was surprised: "Who has such a great ability?" ”
Lu Xiaofeng said: "Just follow me and you'll know." ”
……
In the small courtyard of Nanwangfu, Ye Gucheng stood quietly in front of the broken bridge.
He kept remembering the feeling of that sword, he didn't know why a sword suddenly came to life, and at that moment he even felt his own blade tremble slightly.
Ye Gucheng muttered, "Am I afraid, or is it afraid?" ”
And outside the palace, walking on the quiet bluestone road, looking at the starry sky at will, my heart was also immersed in this starry sky. But not long after he left the palace, he saw an old woman come out of the shadows.
a very old woman, dressed in patched sackcloth, whose face was crumpled by the moonlight; She was hunched over, holding a large bamboo basket in her right hand and a little girl in her left hand.
The little girl was dressed like her, with two big braids, big round eyes, and a cute little face......
"Sugar-fried chestnuts! Fragrant, sweet, and hot fried chestnuts with sugar. ”
The old woman shouted, and the little girl immediately shouted: "It's only ten pennies a catty!" ”
A poor old woman, with her granddaughter, old and young, would come out in the dead of night and shout with her granddaughter in her utterly hoarse voice......
Seeing the two of them roll their eyes arbitrarily, they turned around and left.
"Mother-in-law, he's going to run away, uncle wait for us."
With a crisp shout, the little girl took the old woman's hand and immediately chased after her.
Although the old woman bent over, she ran very fast, and the old and the young caught up with him at once, and stopped in front of him.
The little girl blinked and called out sweetly, "Uncle, buy a catty." ”
Arbitrarily looked at Gongsun Lan and said, "I told you to follow Xue Bing, what about her?" ”
The little girl stared at her eyes and shouted, "It's only ten big dollars, uncle, you can buy a catty." ”
Arbitrarily slanted at her, and a slap was already on her head.
"Alas!"
Gongsun Lan smiled, but now that she looks like this, the wrinkles on her face are deeper: "Lu Xiaofeng is here, the eighth sister will be fine." ”
Arbitrarily sneered: "It's just because Lu Xiaofeng is here that Xue Bing has something to do." ”
Gongsun Lan said dumbly: "Why? ”
asked casually: "Lu Xiaofeng took Xue Bing to the Snake King?" ”
Gongsun Lan nodded.
He said arbitrarily: "Let's go, go to the snake king." ”
Gongsun Lan asked, "What are you going to do there?" I don't want to go there. ”
Arbitrarily said lightly: "If you don't want her to die, don't worry about it." ”
Shangguan Xue'er interjected: "Why don't you want to go?" ”
Gongsun Lan glared at her and said, "I'll lead the way." ”
She took the two of them around three times and two times, and then turned into a very narrow alley. In such a late night, the alley was even darker, and the little girl almost grabbed any corner of her clothes, unwilling to let go.
The ground is dirty, still muddy from the rain a few days ago, and the alleys are lined with all kinds of shops, and the facades of these shops are also very narrow, but there are many people here, coming in and out, as if no one can be seen.
This street is a dark street, the snake king is the boss here, and the people who live here are fugitives and thugs except for thieves.
When the three of them walked in, they immediately attracted everyone's attention, but at this moment, an indescribable and wonderful scent, covering the earthy smell on the ground, wafted in the wind.
There was a very small shop at the bottom of the alley, and a few guys were sitting in front of the shop, and then a guy ran over and said with a smile: "What does the big guy eat?" ”
Before Gongsun Lan could answer, she slapped the person out with a palm.
The man hit the wall, there was a dull sound, and he was out of breath after the time of falling.
The others were stunned, and Gongsun Lan and Xue'er were already standing aside.
A few of the men were furious, and they stood up in anger, and then the light of the sword flew like moonlight...... After a flash of swords, several people's heads were knocked off!
Walk in front of a narrow door at will, and with a casual split, the door shatters in an instant.
This is a very large courtyard, and more than a dozen shirtless men are gambling in the courtyard. But after the door panel shattered, more than a dozen of them showed their weapons and looked at the door.
With a cough, a man in white clothes and white hair walked in.
Someone shouted, "Who are you?" ”
Arbitrary didn't answer him, just covered his mouth, still coughing.
A bearded man with a halberd roared angrily, bullied up, raised the halberd high, rolled up a chilling energy, and slashed at the top of his head!
