Chapter 32: The Thief Escapes
The two guards escorting the masked man in black did not dare to alarm Dongfang Xuyu in the middle of the night. They locked the man in the interrogation room of the Prospecting Pavilion.
But the next morning, the interrogation room was empty, and the masked man in black was gone. The guards at the gate did not see anyone coming.
Luo Feng was woken up by Ge Yi early in the morning. He briefly freshened up and went to the interrogation room in the back garden.
Dongfang Xuyu and others have arrived. Gu Xiaodong was the last to come.
Everyone saw Dongfang Xuyu with a black face, so no one squeaked, just guessed what was going on!
"Mo Yu! Tell me about last night! Dongfang Xu Yu suppressed the fire qi and said.
Mo Yu said everything he knew, saw and heard, and then everyone's eyes fell on Gu Xiaodong's face.
"Don't look at me like that! I was drunk last night! I don't remember! Gu Xiaodong saw that the people ran away last night, and what he said now is useless.
"It's okay to drink less in the future!" Dongfang Xuyu saw that Gu Xiaodong refused to speak, so he knew that he must have seen no evidence and had no evidence, so he kept silent.
After everyone left the meeting hall, Gu Xiaodong followed behind Luo Feng. Luo Feng stopped and asked suspiciously, "Is there something wrong?" ”
"I saw yesterday that the masked man in black was talking to Qingxue."
"Don't talk nonsense if you don't have evidence!" Luo Feng frowned and walked to his yard.
"I knew you were going to protect her! Hum! Gu Xiaodong hugged his arms and said angrily.
Gu Xiaodong didn't know why he liked to be with Luo Feng. He almost lost his life in order to send Luo Feng to Swordsman Mountain. It stands to reason that he should stay away from Luo Feng. Those who killed him were killed because he could help Luo Feng.
"Am I finding some reason not to go this time?" Gu Xiaodong thought to himself when he returned to his courtyard. A twig shaved his bun. He didn't even look at it, and then he pulled the branch down.
"Why is there so much anger?" Nie Yang's fair and elegant face showed a look of concern.
"I want to leave the Exploration Pavilion!" Gu Xiaodong blurted out. He's a master who can't hide things.
"Are you scared?" Nie Yang frowned slightly. This Gu Xiaodong gave him the impression that he was a wild child who had not grown up. If he hadn't come to Tanji Pavilion, he wouldn't have intersected with someone like Gu Xiaodong.
"Who said I was scared!" Gu Xiaodong entered their hall angrily.
A subordinate brought them a meal. Gu Xiaodong, who was already angry, shouted: "What about the wine? ”
"The Dongfang Pavilion Master has ordered, and this wine will not be served when it is okay." The subordinate replied respectfully.
"How can you eat this meal without wine?" Gu Xiaodong got up and went back to his room.
As soon as Mo Yu came out of the house, he saw Gu Xiaodong enter his own room with an unhappy face, so he raised his eyes to look at Nie Yang, who had just sat at the table.
"No wine, he won't eat!" Nie Yang put the chopsticks for the three of them.
Mo Yu listened to Nie Yang's words and went into Gu Xiaodong's house to persuade him.
He saw Gu Xiaodong lying on the bed with his head covered with a quilt, so he walked to his bedside.
Mo Yu is not good at words, so he didn't find the right words to persuade Gu Xiaodong for a long time.
Gu Xiaodong heard the footsteps and knew that it was Mo Yu. He was an anxious man, and when he saw Mo Yu standing in front of his bed for a long time without speaking, he lifted the quilt and stared at Mo Yu.
"You were drunk yesterday, so you ......" Mo Yu stopped halfway through his words and felt that something was wrong. Although Gu Xiaodong was drunk last night, the man was still stopped by him. He doesn't seem to be at fault!
"Xiaodong! I've got a good bottle of wine! Hey? Why are you eating alone? ”
"Brother Luo!" Nie Yang stood up and saluted.
As soon as Gu Xiaodong heard that Luo Feng was coming with wine, he and Mo Yu went out of the room.
"It's better to be a big brother!" Gu Xiaodong pulled Luo Feng and sat down. Mo Yu asked the servants waiting on the side to add a pair of dishes and chopsticks to Luo Feng.
Nie Yang filled everyone's wine glasses, and then he held the wine glasses and said, "Although I can't act with you tomorrow!" But I wish you all the best on your trip and a triumphant return! ”
Luo Feng and the three of them picked up their wine glasses and dried them together. Gu Xiaodong drank and seemed to have forgotten what he had just said to Nie Yang.
Nie Yang saw that Gu Xiaodong didn't mention leaving, so he didn't mention it again.
"You don't call me when you drink!" Suto walked in. Nie Yang and Mo Yu stood up and saluted.
Su Tuo walked to the table and slapped the three silver tickets on the table and said, "This is earned by the brothers of the Tanji Pavilion, don't spend it indiscriminately!" ”
"Come on! Deputy Pavilion Master! Just slam the door! Gu Xiaodong picked up the silver ticket and glanced at it, and then put it in his arms.
"Come on! Second brother! Have a drink! Luo Feng poured Su Tuo a glass of wine.
Suto drank it all and said, "Come back alive!" Then he walked out briskly.
"Why do I see that the corners of his eyes are a little red?" Gu Xiaodong's eyes are very sharp.
"This trip is dangerous! Xiaodong, Mo Yu! You're going to quit, it's still too late! Luo Feng is colorful.
"Huh! We're quitting! Will you ever be able to come back alive? Don't be funny! Gu Xiaodong seemed to be a little drunk.
Nie Yang looked at Gu Xiaodong, thinking about what he had told him to quit the Tanji Pavilion, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
"I, Mo Yu, have just entered the rivers and lakes, and when I came to Tanji Pavilion, I came in the chivalrous name of Brother Luo, and I will never retreat!" Mo Yu drank and talked more.
"He is righteous enough! People hurt him again and again, and he even went down to the trap to save people! I think he'll be killed by this chivalrous heart one day! Gu Xiaodong picked up the flask and poured a big sip of wine.
"I'm the one who caused you! Don't go this time! Luo Feng knew that as long as Gu Xiaodong went to Mo Nan with him, then his life would be in danger at any time.
Although Nie Yang didn't know what Luo Feng and Gu Xiaodong experienced when they went to Swordsman Mountain? But from their conversations, he already understood why Gu Xiaodong had the intention of quitting the Tanji Pavilion.
"Why don't I go with Brother Luo!" Although Nie Yang was born in a family of eunuchs, he did not lose the pride of a man.
"Forget it! I'm afraid you haven't even been out of the capital, and you don't know how you died outside! Brother Luo is a burden with you! Gu Xiaodong's words made Nie Yang's face a little unbearable. He originally had good intentions, but he never thought that this Gu Xiaodong would not appreciate it, and he would say nothing.
"Xiaodong! Nie Yang is also kind! "Luo Feng mentioned Gu Xiaodong.
"I mean that too! What you don't like doesn't have to be unreasonable! Don't drink anymore! I'm going to be on the road tomorrow! Gu Xiaodong got up and went back to the room.
Everyone carefully pondered Gu Xiaodong's last words, and there is indeed a certain amount of truth.
After Luo Feng left, Mo Yu persuaded Nie Yang not to worry about Gu Xiaodong. Nie Yang said: "I really haven't been out of the capital!" ”
Mo Yu watched Nie Yang get up and walk to his own room, he sat at the table in a daze for a long time and didn't understand what Nie Yang meant.
I hope that he and Gu Xiaodong don't end up because of this! Mo Yu looked at the scraps on the table and said secretly.
