Chapter 70: The First Veil
But I heard Lingxi say: "Xiaoya, it's been a day of shopping, I'm tired, let's go back!" It soon became dark after a while. ”
Xiao Ya responded: "Exactly, the days are short in winter, don't look at it at this time, it's still early, and it will be dark if you say it's dark." ”
As the two men spoke, they turned and walked back and forth.
Yun Hao was worried that there was no reason to deal with Danruo, and when he heard this, he immediately said to her: "Also, it's not early today, I'll go out early with you another day!" After speaking, he didn't look at Danruo's face and turned around.
Danruo sighed, but he was helpless, so he had to say, "Don't break your promise." ”
The group walked back slowly, and after a few intersections, they arrived at Xiao Chengli's weapon shop, but Xiao Chengli had no intention of going back.
"Li San, aren't you going back?" But Lingxi asked.
"Well, let's go to the hot pot restaurant with you, I have a shopkeeper here, it's not in the way."
Lingxi nodded: "It's okay, I haven't talked to you for a long time, let's compare and match at night." ”
Xiao Chengli nodded, but his gaze did not leave Dan Ruo in front of him.
Dan Ruo didn't care, his face was calm, and he just whispered a few words to Yun Hao from time to time.
Lingxi seemed to notice Xiao Chengli's different attitude, and deliberately slowed down his pace and walked to Xiao Chengli's side.
"What, was your soul also taken away by this number one beauty in Hengguo's martial arts?"
Xiao Chengli shook his head and said, "No." After a slight pause, he added, "She's Sisi." ”
Lingxi froze for a moment.
"What?"
"I don't know. Look again. ”
Lingxi nodded, and she suddenly felt that the mess seemed to have finally revealed a thread.
The two of them said no more, but both slowed down and followed a few others.
When the group returned to the store after the city gate, it was really dark, but the hot pot restaurant was still in full swing, it was the time when the wharf was over, and in the winter, the workers who had been diligent all day long only let go of their stomachs and had a hearty meal.
Xiao Ya had become accustomed to running into the back hall to help, Yun Hao stood at the door of the store and looked at the noisy appearance inside, and remembered the days with Lingxi in Dengyun Town, he smiled slightly, and then raised his feet and entered the store.
Dan Ruo wanted to pull Yun Hao's hand, but his fingertips only brushed the corner of his clothes, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he followed again.
Ling Xi glanced at Xiao Chengli and said, "Li San, how many moves will we make later?" ”
Xiao Chengli nodded.
Yun Hao heard it before, but he didn't come to interrupt it, but just went upstairs with Danruo.
Ling Xi glanced at them from afar, she couldn't say what she felt, she seemed to acquiesce that Yun Hao had left her life.
The store has been busy until the middle of the month, when it is finished.
Lingxi had already blown a cold wind by the river, and Xiao Chengli swayed unhurriedly, his steps were very light, dressed in black, as if he was invisible in this vast night, he was really a natural killer.
"What? Isn't it the sweetheart of your heart? Why is it still slowing down at this time? Lingxi teased.
"You're just going to be a homesick person." Xiao Chengli rarely picked up her funny words.
"Did you find any clues?" Lingxi picked up a stone at his feet, raised his hand, and threw it far away into the river, and in the night, he only vaguely heard the sound of the stone falling into the water.
Xiao Chengli put his hands behind his back, shook his head, and remembered that it was so dark that Lingxi might not be able to see it, so he said, "Not yet." I don't know how to speak. ”
Ling Xi nodded, "Hmm", "yes, after all, how can it be embarrassing......
And said: "What evidence do you have to prove that she is Sisi?" ”
Xiao Chengli suddenly chuckled: "I have been with her day and night for so many days, although I have never seen her under the veil, but how can I not recognize those eyes?" ”
"Just a pair of eyes?"
"Xiao is not talented, he has been relying on killing people for many years, in fact, in terms of martial arts, there are many killers who are better than me, but do you know why I have been ranked first for many years?"
"I don't know. I haven't studied killing. ”
"It's not just because I'm quick and sharp, but because I'm good at observing the subtleties of my opponent's target, so I can get the most out of my smallest moves."
Lingxi understands that only by observing meticulously can he be an excellent killer.
"Okay, let's treat her as Sisi now, then she is a senior sister of Emei, and she is also a figure with a head and a face, who dares to snub her easily in the rivers and lakes? Why ......"
Ling Xiluo hesitated, but still said, "Why, did she lie in that official's house naked?" Even if the other party is trying to set you up, it can be any coquettish woman, why her? ”
Xiao Chengli didn't speak, there was a long silence.
But he suddenly heard Ling Xi say: "Senior brother, if you don't come out again, I won't wait to pick up stones and throw them into the river, don't shout when I hit you." ”
Sure enough, a long figure slowly walked out of the shadows, who else could it be if it wasn't Yun Hao?
"Aren't you afraid that Dan Ruo will be suspicious if you leave Dan Ruo alone in the store?" Lingxi asked.
"I added some ingredients to her meal at dinner, and she should sleep well tonight." Yun Hao touched his nose.
Instead, Xiao Chengli asked, "Did you hear what we just said?" ”
"Exactly."
"What's the insight?"
"I don't know how you've had with her. Therefore, it is difficult to say. ”
“……”
Ling Xi tugged at Yun Hao's sleeve, "Li San saved Sisi when he was on a mission before, oh, it's your Danruo." But this Sisi gave him such a poison that almost killed him. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to save him on the opening day. ”
Although Yun Hao listened to Lingxi speak, he was still thinking in his mind, how long has it been since Lingxi pulled my sleeve like this?
He was used to wanting to touch the fan on his waist, but the fan had already been taken back by Lingxi.
After pondering for a moment, Yun Hao said: "The only person who can send Danruo to perform such a task is her master, who is now the former head of Emei, who has passed away. ”
Neither answered.
"But, head Emei, why did you send Danruo to the official's house to do such a thing? You must know that in the martial arts and the imperial court, in the past, the well water did not interfere with the river water. ”
"Unless ......"
"This Emei head, no, the former Emei head has ambitions to participate in state affairs, and now the court of Hengguo is already stormy, and everyone in the martial arts wants to try to infiltrate their own strength." It was Lingxi who answered.
Yun Hao looked at Ling Xi in surprise: "I didn't expect you to think of this layer, not bad." There has been progress. ”
Lingxi rolled his eyes at him, and remembered that he couldn't see it in the night.
"I'm not stupid." She underestimated.
"But the head of the house is dead, and now the head is Sisi." Xiao Chengli said softly.
"Senior brother, I suddenly felt that the old head of Emei was dying strangely." Lingxi said suddenly.
