Chapter 67: Contact, Conflict (6,000 Words in One)
People came and went around him, and the sound was boiling, like a tidal wave.
The governor looked away from the pair of jasper eyes, and saw a pretty face with an exotic style, looking at himself with a smile, his hair covered with a scribe's scarf, and the exposed part was very different from that of the Central Plains, and the hair was faintly red.
Further back, there stood a middle-aged man with a blank face, standing with his hands in his hands, the bridge of his nose was high, his beard and hair were pale yellow, slightly curly, and his eyes were cloudy and pale blue.
It was that pair of nobles from the Baekje Kingdom in the Western Regions.
The state official took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart, he was a five-grade official, and when facing the distinguished guests of other countries, he should have a good bearing, and after a few breaths, his eyebrows were loosened, and he said slowly:
"I don't know why you're here."
"This official remembers that Lord Fang Wuxin has already issued a ban, except for the officials of this department, the rest of the people are not allowed to leave the Xinglongfang cocktail party."
The Hu girl looked indifferent, with a red rope jade pendant on her finger, turning around at will, and then shook it up vigorously, held it in her hand at once, and said with a smile:
"I'm not from your Great Qin Kingdom, and his ban can't control me."
The governor's expression sank, and he said, "Since the honorable guest is under the jurisdiction of my Great Qin, he should follow the laws of my Great Qin, how can he act like this?" ”
Far from being afraid, the Huren girl burst out laughing and said:
"I thought that I had unintentionally broken your face just now, and you, the great official of Great Qin, would dislike him very much, but I thought too much about it when I looked at him everywhere now."
"This is what Middle-earth says about the protection of officials and officials?"
She spoke smoothly in Daqin official language, but sometimes some written words would come out of her mouth, and it was always inappropriate to use, the governor felt a little throbbing pain in the corners of his forehead, and he didn't know how to say it, so he waved his hand and said:
"Officials protect each other, that's not how it is used."
"There are villains in the city today, although the honorable guest has the protection of the master, please be more careful, it is best to return to Xingdefang, the official still has a case to handle, I can't accompany him more, so I will leave."
After a little arching his hand, he walked out sideways, and the guards around him did not dare to collide with the two people, so he took a few steps outward, escorting the chief in the direction of the official office, and the girl waited until the governor passed by her, and seemed to say unintentionally:
"Don't think that if you are not in your capital, you will bully him......"
The governor snorted coldly and strode away.
The Hu Ren girl dragged the red rope jade pendant in her right hand, swayed it casually, and walked back to the direction where the Xingdefang drinking party was located.
"That's a bit of a Meng Lang, miss."
The Hu girl said casually:
"Meng Lang is Meng Lang."
"I know it in my heart, and you can rest assured."
After speaking, she planned to pat her subordinates on the shoulder to express her appreciation and encouragement, but this strong man was too tall, although she grew up in the Western Regions, she was like a woman from Jiangnan Province and Jiannan Province, she was not tall, but her skin was fair, she stood on tiptoe, and then reluctantly patted the man's shoulder and said:
"You're good."
The Munehu man bowed his head.
…………………………
Wang Anfeng and the three of them ran out of Xingdefang, and they saw everywhere, prosperous everywhere, red candles were shrouded in lanterns, and the light was originally soft, but when there were colorful lights everywhere, the light of all colors was mixed together, which made people dizzy, and there was no edge in sight.
Liangzhou is a state city after all.
There are seventy-three squares in it, each square has about thousands of households, five people in each household to count, there are more than 10,000 people, there are more than 800,000 people in a city, today is a grand event, with the Xingde Fang of the wine party as the center, the twenty or thirty squares outside, almost accommodating a million people, densely packed in this place.
Among so many people, to find the murderer who committed the crime is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, Wang Anfeng suppressed his anxiety in his heart, and turned his head to look in the southeast direction.
Just now, his sense was in that direction, and he didn't know what was going on, and the previous gradually intensified reaction suddenly disappeared, and at this time, the last remaining feeling was gradually dissipating.
He wanted to rush over immediately, but there were two conservatively estimated sixth-grade martial artists on the left and right, and it was even very likely that the fifth-grade level strength was taken care of, so he couldn't let his temperament come to him. Liu Ling made a guarantee to let him out, but he didn't let him start pushing flat like a reckless man without brains.
Wang Anfeng exhaled a breath of turbidity, his eyes calmed down, and his mind was spinning wildly, thinking about how to separate from the two famous catchers in this situation, and how to act alone without attracting the attention of the two famous catchers, especially unintentionally.
Wuxin swept left and right, and walked two steps to the side of the street with an expressionless face, Wang Anfeng had to follow Tie Lin and walk over, hiding in the corner, Wuxin took out a piece of paper that was only the size of an ordinary book from his arms, folded it a few times, and drew the entire Liangzhou City with charcoal, especially the approximate distribution of the twenty or thirty squares nearby.
Even though Wang Anfeng was a little restless in his heart at this time, he still couldn't help but be shocked by its details, and unintentionally raised his hand to point on the map, and said:
"This is where the Xingdefang cocktail party is located."
Then he slashed out from that place and said:
"After the previous suspect killed someone, he went to the moon, and at this hour, the moon rose in the east, and it can be speculated that the suspect ran out from the southeast, and when you and I came, there was no one left."
"The other party has been concealed in no more than one hundred and eighty snaps of his fingers, this time is very short, without mobilizing a large number of qi machines to perform light skills, even if he is a martial artist who is good at body techniques, he can run a distance of fifty miles at most."
Tie Lin's eyes lit up slightly.
That is to say, ......"
Heartless finger drew a circle on the map and said:
"The scope of his hiding is only within this circle, and there must be their inner correspondence in it."
"The deceased's visit to the Liangzhou drinking party this time is a rise and a cause, it is impossible to prepare too early, if you can contact the city Yu officials now, investigate the real estate transaction, lock the time within the last three months, within six months, and investigate in batches, you should be able to get something."
Speaking of this, Wuxin's voice paused slightly, looked at Wang Anfeng, and said:
Feng An...... Right? ”
Wang Anfeng nodded.
Unintentionally, he put away the map of the crime of imprisonment for ordinary people hidden in his hand, and said lightly:
"Mr. Liu Ling entrusted you to the two of us, naturally you can't waste Feng An's ability, please go to the city government immediately, look for the officials of the Yu Department, and search the classics."
"With the two of us as your guarantor, you can."
"If the head of the Yu Department refuses, you can bring it here."
Tie Lin was slightly stunned, and then secretly praised in his heart, he didn't want to play this hand beautifully, and he was able to throw away this nail that was nailed to their side, so that he could let it go, and if this Feng An had any suspicions, it would be clear from the pair of times on the side of the head of the Yu Department, plus the calculation.
Wang Anfeng shook his head and said:
"Elder Liu means that I want to follow you, not to mention that at this time, the officials of the Yu Department may have left a long time ago, and it is useless to go, it is better to stay next to the two adults, I see that there are only a few markets, and it is the time when people are needed."
Unintentionally raised his eyebrows, Tie Lin stood a little far away from the two of them, and even the eaves on both sides were a quiet and humid house, the full moon looked more distant and high because of the laneway, and the moon was in the sky, and the two young men looked at each other.
One wears a red shirt and holds a knife, except for the romance between his eyebrows, all of them are cold, but the other is wooden, like the old way of Bigu to settle down, carrying a blue package, all of them are not giving an inch.
Unintentionally retracted his gaze, he didn't force it anymore, just nodded, and said coldly:
"It's rare that you have this heart."
His eyes stopped Tie Lin from opening, shook the map casually, and said: "Within this range, there is a total of nowhere to Fang City, one of which is facing Xingdefang can be ignored, go straight all the way, the suspicion is too low, and it can be investigated in the end." ”
"The remaining four places, we must check them one by one from near and far, because of the lack of manpower, you and I go together, don't let your guard down."
After that, he folded the map in his hand again, and was about to go along the avenue, but at this moment, Wang Anfeng suddenly spoke again, and said: "I think we should start from the Fang market in the north......
Tie Lin's brows furrowed tightly.
This young man named Feng An made inches again and again, which made him feel a lot of displeasure in his heart.
As a famous arrester directly under Tianjing City, he doesn't know how many times he has dealt with cases because he has to take care of those fools who think they are smart, and make things more than difficult, so he has to refuse coldly at the moment.
Wuxin looked sideways at Wang Anfeng and said coldly:
"Why?"
Wang Anfeng exhaled, the reason for this was naturally that the feeling he felt came from the north, but he couldn't say this to the two of them, his mind was spinning wildly, and he was like a storyteller in an inn, and said deliberately slowly:
"There are two reasons why we go north......
The corners of Wuxin's eyes twitched, and he interrupted coldly:
"You've got ten breaths of time."
Wang Anfeng's speed of speech suddenly increased, and he said: "The first reason, although the distance in the north is a little farther, there are all avenues on the road, and it is faster to move." ”
"Second reason ......"
Wang Anfeng's speed of speech began to slow down, he had just seen it from the map, and at this time there was still a thought in his heart that was about to burst out, but it was always so bad that at this moment, there was a little girl at the edge of his sight who jumped and walked by with a lantern.
It was a pink lotus lantern, and the spread of the petals was a red candle in the center, which was quite a sight, and the candle flame was covered by the petals, which could burn well.
Impatience rose in Tie Lin's heart.
Wang Anfeng's pupils shrank, and there seemed to be a thought in his mind that suddenly exploded, he raised his head suddenly, looked at Wuxin, and said quickly:
"There are no large lanterns more than ten zhang in the north!"
Wang Anfeng and others came from the north, naturally came in from the north gate of Liangzhou City, walked all the way, and could only see those giant dragon and phoenix lanterns in other directions that were more than 20 meters and 30 meters, illuminating the sky a lot, but there was no on the northern street, most of them were just juggling people, which has always been arranged by the state officials this year.
The two famous catchers were stunned in an instant.
The lack of large lanterns means that people will not look up at the sky when they are fine, which means that when the warrior hides from the sky, it is even less likely that he will expose himself because of this.
The two of them came here to handle the case, naturally they were not interested in visiting the streets, so they ignored this matter, and in less than a breath, they rushed out unintentionally, ignoring the ban in Liangzhou City, jumping up on the ground, and lightly tiptoe on the dragon lantern on the front pillar of an inn next to them, and the person had already relayed on the fish scale tiles of the inn.
Then, without saying a word, he clenched his waist knife and rushed towards the northern side of the city.
Tie Lin patted Wang Anfeng on the shoulder, and after a rare good calculation, he also rose into the air, followed closely behind Wuxin, and strode away, Wang Anfeng exhaled a breath of turbidity, because of the tense situation, there was some fine sweat on his forehead.
He raised his eyes and glanced at the north, ignored the shopkeeper's scolding, also landed on the top of the inn, strode out, and followed behind the two famous arresters, when he was in Xingdefang, he planned to go out and look for it by himself, but after seeing Wuxin directly take out the map of the entire Liangzhou Fang City, he changed his mind.
There are only twenty-six famous catches in the capital, and there should be twenty-six stars on the top, one retreats, one comes in, and there is never more than twenty-seven.
These people are the people in the whole world, who are the best at tracking clues, at least much stronger than him as a layman, and that kind of sense began to gradually dissipate again, and he had to use their ability at this time.
The thought in his mind disappeared in an instant, Wang Anfeng had a wooden face, like an honest young man who had shown before, following behind the two famous catchers, and after running out, he deliberately slowed down his speed, making a sign that his cultivation was insufficient, and he could only barely follow the two of them.
He only pointed out that it might be in the Fang Market to the north, but the two Tianjing City celebrities in front of him seemed to know where to look, and at most they stopped to discuss a few words, and rushed straight forward like crossbow arrows off the string.
By the time the two in front of them finally stopped, the three of them had gone to a corner of the northern side of the city, which was not far from the juggling places, but most of the pedestrians looked at the acrobatic on the opposite side, and few looked to this side.
Wang Anfeng understood, isn't this an excellent hiding place?
There was a heavily armed warrior on the opposite side of the inn, Tie Lin jumped directly from the roof on this side to the opposite side, Ran Hou didn't know what question he asked the warrior, and then his face showed a sudden look, turned his head to look at Wuxin, and nodded slightly.
Before Wang Anfeng could see it, the famous catcher jumped directly from the roof of the inn and landed heavily on the street, causing the surrounding people to cry out, and when they saw the crossbow pinned to his waist, he retreated a few steps back.
Tielin walked straight towards a house on the other side of the street.
Wang Anfeng looked at the corner, his heartbeat slowly accelerated, but his expression became more and more calm, and the feeling that had just begun to dissipate became a little stronger.
It should be in this room.
Tie Lin strode to the door of the house, this place is prosperous, the land price is not cheap, most of them are merchants and ticket numbers, this room is narrow and small, and it is easy for others to be confused with the grain number next to it.
The cold-hearted Tianjing master walked to the door, put his left hand behind his waist, clenched the black Mojia crossbow, and slapped his right hand on the wooden door panel, making a heavy sound, and said in a hearty voice:
"Folks, folks."
"Please open the door, I am the firefighter of our Yu Department, and I was ordered to inspect the road buildings, check one or two, and prevent the water."
"Folk?"
There was silence in the room for a long time, and then an old voice said:
"Firefighter? How come there was no such ...... in the past?"
Tie Lin still said in that rough voice:
"In previous years, every year in the Mid-Autumn Festival, there was a Shangyuan Lantern Festival, folks, are you mistaken...... Open the door, and there are several more to check......"
There was silence again, and then footsteps approached, apparently believing Tie Lin's words.
Tie Lin still spoke, his voice was hearty and kind, but there was a coldness in his eyes.
The left hand has already held the Mo family's crossbow tightly in his hand, and his thumb and index finger have tightened the hanging knife under the crossbow, and the Mo family's crossbow bolt can be shot out when he buckles it.
After the death of the Mo family giant, the Mo family was roughly divided into three branches, this is Qin Mo's handwriting, calling the internal qi of the martial artist to shoot out, in a short distance, the concealment and power are extremely amazing.
The wooden door opened, but there was an overturned copper brazier from the pavement, in which red coals were spilled out, and the speed and momentum were amazing, and an old man with gray hair pulled out a short knife and pounced on him with a hideous face.
"Firefighter? Put out your fire! ”
Tie Lin had already prepared, and the last one came first, the crossbow in his hand was raised forward, and the five crossbow arrows in it were shot in one breath in an instant, and then thrown on the ground, and with a knock on the hilt of the sword with his right hand, the Western Regions thin sword was directly unsheathed, like a silver thread, and the dagger was knocked down.
The rapier changed its move in a breath, pierced the man's shoulder, and pinned it to the side of the wall, and at the same time, Tie Lin instantly withdrew and retreated, rolling on the ground for a week, holding the thrown crossbow in his hand, and at some point in his right hand there were five new crossbow arrows, directly into the crossbow.
At the moment when he retreated, several sword qi swords shot out from the room, cutting the walls and even the old man was injured, dripping with blood.
Shot the crossbow arrows in the crossbow again, and then casually put the treasure of the Mo family on the ground, pulled out a slightly shorter waist knife, and took two steps out, from both sides of the house, two figures smashed through the walls on both sides and rushed out, only to appear and spill out a lot of hidden weapons, shooting at the people on both sides.
Wuxin, who had been waiting on the opposite roof, shot almost at the moment when the two of them hit the roof, and the two knives shattered the hidden weapon, grazing the roofs of the buildings on both sides and shooting into the sky, at the same time, Tie Lin cursed twice, withdrew and rushed to the man on the left.
And after Wuxin repelled the hidden weapon that shot at the people, he also stopped the man on the right.
Wang Anfeng's eyes lit up slightly, this was almost a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him, and he fell from the roof at the moment, and rushed to the wide open door in the midst of panic screams.
Just stepped in, and suddenly a person inside burst out like a poisonous snake, and a short knife in his hand stabbed directly at Wang Anfeng's waist and abdomen, and the qi was boiling on the blade, obviously containing great strength.
The man's face was hideous, and he cursed angrily:
"Check the water, I'll check your mother!"
"The lackeys of the court, come so fast, and die with so-and-so!"
Although he looked angry, his eyes were very clear, and he had already seen the three of them coming, and he saw that everyone was carrying weapons, and he was obviously not good at hand-to-hand combat, so he abandoned the scimitar and only used the barrier knife, which was shorter than the waist knife.
At this time, his left hand grabbed Wang Anfeng's shoulder, and the knife in his hand stabbed at Wang Anfeng's waist, and his attack was unusually fierce.
This time can stab into the human body, at the angle of the blade, most of the kidneys will be rotten, and finally twist it hard, even if it is an iron man, he will be seriously injured in an instant and lose his defense, and use this trick to yin a lot of martial artists who are known as internal qi climbing tall buildings.
He saw that this young man seemed to be stupid for such a battle, and he did not move, and the waist knife in his hand fell to the ground, and his heart became more and more happy, and he only planned to stab this catcher to death and then sneak away from the window next to him.
It doesn't take a few breaths.
Thinking like this, the knife in his hand stabbed straight into the young man's waist, but there was no feeling of metal entering his body, but there was a heavy sound, which shook his palms numb, his brain was a little dizzy, and he fell back a step.
Before the dizziness passed, he saw that the young man who was not good at close combat, suddenly raised his hand, stretched out his right hand and grabbed the blade of the treasure knife worth six hundred gold.
Then it snapped and snapped.
Fragments of the blade rose in the warrior's dilated pupils, then fell, reflecting the lights outside the window like stars falling from the sky.
The young man's right hand hung down, and the hem of his clothes was windless.
Wang Anfeng's face was expressionless, the martial arts of the man in front of him were not bad, he was a good hand among the six-rank martial artists, not far from the five-grade martial arts, and the heartless Tielin was outside, he didn't want to waste time, so he took the initiative to outline and attract a trace of qi on the wooden sword behind him, and integrated it into his own qi.
The qi on his body boiled instantly, but he suppressed it and did not allow it to spread, and in an instant, the heart of the sneak attack warrior almost stopped beating, and a dignified spirit suddenly rose on the young man in front of him, mixed with a stronger sense of oppression.
The body of the old man who nailed the sword to the outside was originally with his head bowed and had already accepted his fate, but at this time, his heart suddenly trembled, he raised his head suddenly, and his pupils contracted to the limit.
This breath ......
When he was young, he also walked the rivers and lakes for many years, and when he was twenty-six years old, he had the privilege of watching a four-grade boxer challenge a three-grade grandmaster who walked the world.
Then he only made one move, and he knocked the boxer to his knees.
At that time, he felt such a similar spirit, high above, as if Mount Tai had fallen down, no matter how far away it was, how long it was, it was hard to forget.
Even if it's just a trace.
He shuddered and closed his eyes.
Then a crisp sound of bones shattering was heard.
