Chapter 142: Arriving in Shangjing

Soon, Xia Li and her subordinates and Chen Ke arrived late. After Chen Ke saw the injured peony, he came over to hold her for me as soon as possible.

Xia Li looked down and said to me apologetically, "I'm really sorry, the road is too congested today to drive, and it took us a lot of time to run all the way." ”

"It's good that your boss isn't dead now." I said angrily. After spending so much money, her lack of care at all really made me very dissatisfied, maybe life here was too comfortable during this time, so she relaxed her vigilance.

"I'll go to Beijing in a few days, you can go with me." I said to Xia Li.

My words surprised Peony, and she looked at me with inquiring eyes. Xia Li has a file on the dark web, and when she gets close to the surrounding area of Shangjing, she will attract attention, and I know this.

Xia Li gritted her teeth and nodded, "Yes, I will do my best to make up for this mistake!" ”

When I got home, I told Uncle Li about the matter with the knight king Ax.

Li Guoqiang pondered for a moment and said, "I'll accompany Peony to reattach the prosthetic leg tomorrow, and then you can leave for Beijing as soon as possible." It's not easy for someone like Ax to get close to Shangjing, so it's probably safer for you. ”

I thought he had a point, and nodded in response.

The darkness on the side was in a commotion again, "I'll go to Beijing with you!" ”

"No way!" I decisively refused, "The situation in Shangjing is complicated, it is inevitable that there will be people who are not afraid of grudges with your Hayakawa Society and the Nine Ghost Family, it is too dangerous for you to go together, no matter what you say, I will not take you." ”

Seeing that there was no room for relaxation in what I said, Yu Yu pouted, "Then I'll let Li and them go with you!" ”

"No need, it's enough to have Peony and Xia Li, as long as you don't run into the Ten Kings, it's not a big problem." And the Zhu family is the largest family in Shangjing. As long as Zhu Yimo is on my side, at least those families can't mess with me on the surface.

The next night, I was shocked when I saw Xia Li again. I saw that she had dyed all her fiery red hair black, straightened and trimmed, and now has a neck-length workplace hairstyle.

I looked at her in amazement, "You...... This is? ”

She scratched her hair, "Doesn't that look more low-key?" ”

I sighed and nodded. Later, Li Guoqiang and Peony also returned, and the prosthetic leg was successfully connected.

Another day later, I took Peony and Xia Li and took the high-speed train to Beijing, which is much simpler than the plane.

Six hours later, we appeared at the capital Shangjing high-speed rail station. Looking at the majestic city in front of me, I suddenly felt a sense of tragedy. The thousand-year-old famous capital at the foot is not much weaker than the big plate city of the mirage, and the strong cultural heritage is blowing in the face, and the air is filled with a sense of slaughter all the time.

At this time, I had a hunch that this trip to Beijing would definitely not be smooth sailing. And I'm already on the cusp of the Gaoyuantai War!

We came here four days early, so no one from the Loulan family came to receive us. I need time to think quietly about what might happen and what to do about it. And Peony can also have time to familiarize himself with the city, as well as the terrain near Loulan's house. But I know that the moment we stepped into Shangjing, we were already in the sight of some big people!

As I expected, we had just stayed at a hotel when someone came to visit me in the evening.

Looking at the girl outside the door, I was a little surprised for a while, but I didn't expect that the first girl who came to me was a little girl who looked only sixteen years old? She wore a green goose-down skirt, two hairpins on her head, tied up with white plush ribbons, and her delicate features resembled finely carved porcelain. Just one look at her can make people let go of all their guards and naturally want to be close to her.

She stood upright, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a confident sharpness, and asked me, "Are you Chen Mo?" The one who killed Hikoichi? ”

I didn't directly affirm, I just said, "Who are you, what are you looking for me?" ”

"Huangcheng wind chimes."

I frowned, "Hikoichi is yours?" ”

"Half-brother."

I nodded, leaning sideways to let her in, I didn't believe a sixteen-year-old girl could do anything to me.

"What's the matter with me?" When she entered the house, I poured her a glass of water and asked.

She glanced at Xia Li behind me and said, "First of all, I want to state that my brother has a grudge with you first, whether you believe it or not, I will not seek revenge on you." Secondly, I would like to ask you one thing, and if you can do it, I will tell you an important piece of information. ”

Her words intrigued me for a moment, and motioned for her to continue.

Wind Chime said, "You should have affection for Sister Kirika, right?" I want you to ruin the engagement ceremony in four days, or, take Sister Kirika out of Shangjing and go back to your territory! ”

The corners of my mouth rose, and I instantly understood her purpose, "Are you going to eat the Lan family completely?" ”

Feng Chime nodded, "The Bupo family has done its best to encroach on the Loulan family's industry, originally Loulan and our Huangcheng have a lot of assets in common, if we don't take advantage of the current situation, it is estimated that we will be eaten by the Bupo family when it is late!" We can't let the Su family stir up the situation at this time. Moreover, I don't think you want Sister Wuxiang to marry into the Su family at all. ”

I bowed my head and groaned for a while, and said, "I'm alone in Shangjing now, and I can't do such a big thing." ”

Feng Chime said unhurriedly, "We will hire people for you, we only need to borrow your name, and I am ashamed to say that I just want you to carry this pot." ”

I laughed, "Little girl, you're so interesting! If you want me to take the blame willingly, can't your chips be small? ”

Wind Chime nodded, "The information I'm going to tell you is about the last assassin who was once by my brother Hikoichi!" ”

I frowned slightly, "The last assassin?" ”

"Yes, the saffron, the violet are dead, the white rose is still working for us in the family, and the peony is now following you, but ...... There was also an assassin who was hiding in the shadows only with Hikoichi and I knew, unknown to the rest of the family, and she was Hikoichi's most important pawn, and ...... She will definitely avenge Hikoichi! If you can do what I told you to, I'll tell you her information. ”

I looked at her suspiciously and said, "Only you and Hikoichi know?" You're so close to Hikochi that you don't want to avenge him? Why should I believe you? ”

"Killing you is not good for our family, at least not now, our Huangcheng family has always valued interests more seriously. As for believe it or not, I even know that Sister Wuxiang is a crystal orchid. And I might as well tell you that among the children of the Huangcheng family, I am the only one now, as long as the family is not easy to master, I will be the next head of the Huangcheng family. So, ruining the engagement ceremony is very important to me! ”

I pondered for a long time, and I roughly understood her intentions. Now the Huangcheng family is divided into two factions, and some people want to re-woo the Loulan family. And the family where the wind chimes are located wants to inherit Hikoichi's legacy and eat the Loulan family before they break the house. But now that their own family is not as powerful as before, and the marriage of the Su family and the Loulan family is imminent, they have to come to seek foreign aid from me!

I shook my head slightly, and said, "Your chips are not too heavy, to be honest, it's just an assassin, and I don't really care about it." ”

The wind chime lowered his head and bit his lip, his expression very hesitant. I sighed helplessly, how old was she, and she was about to show up for the rise and fall of the family.

So I said, "But I can promise you." Originally, I felt a little guilty for killing your brother, and I can be regarded as paying off a little debt by helping you do this. After you give me the information about the assassin, how about I have written off the grudge with your Huangcheng family from now on? ”

The wind chimes raised their heads and looked at me with blazing eyes, "Okay! In fact...... My brother told me about you, and you are indeed a philanthropic person. It's a pity that you ...... with him Otherwise, you'll be good friends! ”

"Now, don't talk about these useless things."

A sad expression flashed on her face, and then she seemed to suddenly remember something, and asked, "Is Sister Peony here, can I say hello to her?" ”

I hesitated, but finally said, "She's out, she's not here." ”

Wind Chime looked disappointed and said goodbye to me shortly after, saying that he would bring someone over to talk to me about the detailed plan in two days.

Just after she left, the figure of Peony slowly appeared beside me, and I asked her, "Is that girl's words just now credible?" ”

Peony said, "I...... I'm too good to say. Aside from saffron, violet, and white roses, I don't know of any other assassins that Hikoichi raised. Wind Chimes has been quite close to Hikochi since she was a child, and it is not impossible for her to know something. ”

I turned around, looked straight into Peony's eyes, and asked, "What's your relationship with the wind chimes?" ”

There was obviously a hint of panic in Peony's eyes, and then she took a deep breath and said, "As long as it is your instructions, I can kill anyone." ”

"I'm just asking about your relationship."

Peony lowered her head, her expression becoming a little struggling, "She...... Hikoichi didn't like me since I was a child, but the wind chimes had a good relationship with me, just like ...... Chen Ke is like that. ”

That is to say, it is almost a sisterly relationship, I sighed helplessly.
