Chapter Eighty-Seven: Conspiracy
The proprietress left the room, and saw that Mo Fan was determined to win, and she saw her thoughts, and said, "I don't think it's appropriate to arrest people tonight."
Mo Fan was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Why? Tonight is a good time, the time and place are right for me, he dares to come, I have to capture him alive! Let's see who is so arrogant! ”
Qian Lingxin shook his head, listening to Mo Fan's tone, he still felt sorry for the death of Yu'er in the morning, and couldn't help but be indignant at his tragic death, so he said: "What's the use of catching a shrimp soldier crab but to startle the snake, maybe there is a big boss behind the scenes, it's better to follow the vine and touch the melon, and the plan will be calculated." ”
Mo Fan thought about it, and suddenly realized: "It makes sense, if it's just that the girl's disappearance case is related to that Yingniang, then what can be explained by these women who were mutilated by evil magic, if she just wants to make a profit from it, there is no need to harm people's lives." That black-robed man last night should also have nothing to do with that Baiyun Temple, this black-robed man is very secretive, not like an immortal cultivator, not like a person in the Demon Dao, what is the way of origin......"
Mo Fan held her chin and thought, but she already had a good plan, and she was full of excitement for tonight's action, and she said with a confident smile on the corner of her mouth: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger, and the answer to all the riddles will be known after tonight."
Qianlingxin still used the same method, using himself as bait to lure the mysterious murderer into the bait, Mo Fan was also fiercely opposed at first, but now that Tan Hengshu was not there, he couldn't come up with any other ideas for a while, so he had to agree to this method.
At the end of summer and autumn, the weather is slightly cool, the time is approaching, the cool moonlight penetrates into front of the window, and a place of silver is sprinkled.
The lights in the atrium of Qianling were not extinguished, she was playing with a fruit in her hand, her expression was leisurely but her eyes were alert, and a pair of clear and bright eyes were always observing all the movements outside the house.
Mo Fan walked back and forth outside with his sword in his chest, always vigilant, took a bite of the bright red fruit in his hand, glanced at the figure pacing in the room, and said with a smile: "I said Mo Fan, you are so well guarded, how dare the thief come to the door to kidnap people, go back and rest." ”
Mo Fan also felt that it was inappropriate, but he had to ensure her safety and was in a dilemma, thinking of the black-robed man he had fought last night, for fear that he would appear again and make a mistake. Mo Fan strode into the room, looked around the room, saw the screen and his eyes lit up, so he walked to the back of the screen, and poked his head out and whispered: "It's almost time, you be careful"
Qian Lingxin smiled helplessly and reminded: "You must calm down, don't startle the snake"
Qianling made a decision, waved his sleeves and extinguished the candlelight, and immediately closed his clothes and lay down.
The house was plunged into darkness, and there was not a faint moonlight shining through the window, and only the sound of his own breathing and the barking of dogs could be heard in the distance on the street outside.
Qian Lingxin put her arm on the pillow, looked at the black pressure on the top of her head and stared dryly, her thoughts began to think about it, she turned her head to look at Mo Fan who was silent in the dark, and asked in a half voice: "Mo Fan, do you hate those people in Shuramen?" ”
In the dark, Mo Fan was silent for a moment, and then wondered, "Why do you ask that?" Do you suspect that these incidents were the work of the Shuramons? In fact, they are heretical, slaughtering and killing, and often harming the common people. The ghost city you tried was slaughtered by them, and tens of thousands of lives were destroyed, and none of them were spared, such a bloodthirsty demon will naturally be punished by the righteous people."
Qian Lingxin turned to his side, and suddenly remembered that he had asked Tan Hengshu the same thing before, and their answers were roughly the same. His expression was gloomy, and he fell into a state of sadness, and muttered: "That is indeed heinous."
A cold wind blew outside the window, the night was bleak, and the house was quiet again.
At this time, Mo Fan suddenly sighed and said melancholy: "I remember that Childe's uncle died to seal this Demon Gate Holy Lord, and this matter has been in mind for so many years. Yifeng Dao people are halfway monks, although the son was not taught to him in the name of master and apprentice during the time when he studied art in Xiling, but he regarded the son as his own, loved him a lot, and taught him all the stunts in his life. Xiling has been teaching art for ten years, I can see that the people who rely on the wind are so kind in their eyes, and they take care of their sons, he is the son of the teacher, and the son respects him more than the head of the family, and he never has the slightest intention of disobedience. Childe had witnessed the tragic death of his biological mother, and that day he saw the people of Yifeng Dao disappearing, and his soul was scattered and he was powerless to save, he may have hated the blood in his heart, but he just forbears it so that no one notices, he will always be this character......"
Yes, Tan Hengshu's temperament is to break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, never showing his weakness and emotions. Listening quietly, hearing the word 'hate', she couldn't help but tremble in her heart, she felt stuffy in her chest, and she couldn't breathe in depression. If so, then Tan Hengshu should hate her very much, a person in the demon path, and now she is still following them and deceiving them as if nothing happened, and the guilt in her heart at the thought of this makes her even more sad.
Mo Fan saw that she was silent, so she felt that she was shocked by saying such a thing from the past, and chuckled: "There are too many words with emotion for a while, when it is small talk, don't care"
Qianling covered her chest that was cramping again at this time, and the blood on her face instantly faded, and she endured her heart like a thousand insects, clenching her teeth in pain for fear of exhaling. She turned her back to Mo Fan, and said with difficulty from her teeth: "Mo Fan, if one day you find out that I have deceived or hurt you, you don't have to show mercy."
Mo Fan was inexplicable when he heard this, and when he was about to ask out loud, he was startled by the movement on the verandah outside the house, and he immediately took a breath and quietly reminded the people on the couch to be careful.
A black shadow slowly elongated from the window paper, and after the figure approached, it turned into a black shadow through the door without opening the door, and soon moved its figure to the front of the shallow listening heart.
Mo Fan held his breath and stood quietly behind the screen, he had always been capable and calm, and he was well hidden at this time.
Through the faint moonlight, she saw that the figure on the wall was approaching her, but her chest didn't hurt early or late, but at this time, she was so painful that she couldn't move in a cold sweat.
I saw that under the cover of a black shadow in front of me, someone gave a fixed technique on my back, and then someone stopped me and picked him up, turning into a black shadow whirlwind and blowing out of the room.
The night was dark, and she couldn't see things clearly, but she felt that the black pressed roofs in front of her were rapidly falling backwards, and she was being stopped by a person and carrying her through the air at a very fast speed, she thought that at this time, Mo Fan must have followed silently behind her.
The black-robed man turned into a black shadow like a ghost in the night, whistling rapidly in the night sky, and Qianlingxin was carried and hidden under his wide cloak, and he only felt the sound of the wind in his ears, and after a few high-altitude overturns, his body finally fell into place.
The black-robed man walked around a few deep alleys, stopped in a courtyard, and seemed to meet the connector, and the other party's voice sounded like a male duck: "The Shadow Hunter Protector is here to deliver again?" Plus this one is exactly twelve, and Lord Liu Ming'er will send it to the national teacher. ”
The black-robed man handed over the person under his arm to the other party, and a man in a cyan official robe waved his hand, and two gray-clothed little men came up, supporting Qianlingxin left and right.
Qian Lingxin opened his eyes slightly and looked at the other party silently, the leader held the dust and folded his hands in front of his abdomen, he was a eunuch wearing a splendid gray robe, with a white face and no manly spirit, his eyes seemed to be smiling and sinister and sinister, looking at the dress should be a high-status eunuch, and the person who spoke must be this person. And there is also a Tsing Yi county official next to him, who is very familiar with him, it is the county official Liu who appeared in the broken temple on the outskirts of the city during the day, and the county official Liu who was so arrogant that he didn't care about anyone, his eyes were empty and godless, and he motioned to the two little servants to bring people into the wing.
Lord Liu followed behind, his walking posture was strange and clumsy, when he raised his foot at the step, he kicked his toes on the stone steps and almost tripped, this kick was a little forceful, ordinary people would feel that it hurt him very much, but his face did not change and he was unconscious, straightened up and returned to his original state, mechanically climbed up the stairs, looking at the back like a soulless corpse walking.
The black-robed man and the eunuch saw it in their eyes, and the black-robed man snorted coldly: "Let that stinky Taoist priest be sharp, the medicine primer he asked for has been found for him, and the effect of this elixir still hasn't grown at all, just this trick will let people see the clues sooner or later!" ”
The corners of the eunuch's mouth pulled out a sinister smile, and the black shadow appeared, turning into another black-robed man, and he said: "The Lord doesn't want to rely on a low-level Taoist priest to control the entire Nanxiang Kingdom's spirit, these are just experiments, and the good show is still to come, so don't worry." ”
The former snorted coldly: "What is the point of the Lord going to great lengths to control these fleshly mortal fetuses. ”
The latter said inscrutablely: "It is not these mortals that the Lord wants to control, but the human heart." If people don't have greed, how can we take advantage of it?"
After the shallow listening heart was placed, the two little servants went out, and after a small slap of chains outside the door, only a few low sobs remained in the room.
When I opened my eyes, I saw that the room was empty, but there were a bunch of girls huddled in the corner, crying and looking at her timidly, and there was a kind of panic and uneasiness in the eyes of the pear blossoms and the rain.
She got up and looked around, the candlelight in the room was dim, only the eleven girls curled up in the dark corner, she put her finger to her lips and made a silent gesture to them, and then went to the door to check.
There was a guard on the left and right outside the door, the two little servants who escorted her in, and the door was locked.
The moonlight hung high, the moonlight was hazy, and a layer of mist floated in the courtyard under the patio, and the courtyard was dead silent. Before entering the house, Qianlingxin quietly observed this place, the high-walled courtyard with glazed tiles, which looked magnificent, not like an ordinary mansion but like a royal courtyard, and he should be in the palace.
Listening to their conversation, these women should be sent away tomorrow, and he turned his eyes and planned to go out tonight to find out the truth.
Qian Lingxin walked in front of those women, and saw all the delicate beauties with tears in their eyes, they really looked like a budding magnolia and a lovely person, so he looked at them condescendingly with his hands on his chest and said, "Do you want to escape?" ”
Eleven women looked at each other with puzzled expressions and nodded timidly at her, one of them sobbed and said, "But there are guards outside, how can we escape?" We must have been caught by the flower thief, and this time we are dead."
Qian Lingxin smiled: "I can't die, as long as you listen to me, I promise to let you leave safely"
Although these women were still suspicious, there was a glimmer of hope in their eyes, they knew their situation well, and if they didn't escape, they would definitely be lucky. Although the woman in front of her was similar to her own age, she had no fear of panic since she woke up, her eyes were firm, her expression was calm and confident, and this courage and calmness made several women involuntarily have a sense of trust in her. After weighing it, the women nodded violently, and one of the women asked, "What do you need us to do?" ”
Qian Lingxin snapped his fingers and said, "Everything is up to me."
