Chapter 51: Preparing to Go (1st Update)
When Elder Mu came back from Su Ze, he saw Jiang Li standing in his courtyard looking at a red plum that had not yet bloomed in a daze.
"Why does Elder Jiang have time to come to me?" Elder Mu asked aloud.
Jiang Li sighed almost inaudibly: "Ai...... Elder Mu, we haven't had a good conversation for a long time in the past few years, right? ”
"You and I belong to different factions, so naturally it is impossible for us to sit together calmly and chat."
"Well, now that the Lord of the Li Mansion is presiding over the Soul Building, he has given us such an opportunity."
Elder Mu knew that Jiang Li had nothing to do and went to the Three Treasures Palace, and now that he recalled the past, he must have something to ask, he walked to the stone table, picked up a pot of tea brewed on it, poured a cup for Jiang Li, handed it to her, and continued: "You come here today, there must be something to ask me, why don't we sit down and talk slowly." "Elder Mu is not stupid, on the contrary, he also knows how to spy on the current situation.
Now that the owner of the building has taken over the soul building, Yu Xiaoqi has a close relationship with him, not to mention whether they are friends or not, even if they are good brothers, the relationship is close enough. And this Jiang Yue'er is Yu Xiaoqi's master, Jiang Li must be closer to the master of Li Lou.
In view of these relationships, he, Mu Tianlan, also had to be polite to Elder Jiang.
Jiang Li took the teacup in Elder Mu's hand, took a shallow sip, put the teacup down again, took a deep breath and asked, "Do you remember the list of the Soul Tower Killer Hall ten years ago?" I wasn't close to that side, and many people didn't remember names. I need that list. ”
When Mu Tianlan heard this, his originally leisurely face suddenly became cloudy, and he lowered his voice and said, "Elder Jiang, you are also the elder of the Soul Tower, you should remember the order of the Lord of Helian Building, and no one is allowed to mention the affairs of the year again." Now although the owner of Helian has disappeared, you and I have received his favor and should follow his orders. At that time, all the personnel list records of the Killer Hall had been burned, and some of the relevant personnel had disappeared. Doesn't it keep you awake? ”
Elder Mu softened his tone and continued, "This matter is not simple, I advise you not to bury yourself in it and cause death!" ”
Jiang Li turned his back, Mu Tianlan still saw her slightly trembling shoulders, and only heard her voice a little bleak: "Elder Mu, the owner of Helian Mansion has passed away......
"What do you say?! Helian Lou owner he ......"
"Yes, he's dead. You're right, we've all been favored by him, so should we avenge his revenge? If the death of the lord of Helian Mansion has something to do with this matter, then do you still have to stick to the original order? Don't you avenge Lord Helian Lou? Jiang Li asked Mu Tianlan three questions in a row. Mu Tianlan asked back again and again, not knowing how to answer.
"This ......"
"Elder Mu, I don't want to embarrass you, but now that this matter, I'm afraid there will be no second person besides you who knows about it. I came to you out of desperation. ”
What Jiang Li said was very reasonable, Mu Tianlan's whole person looked as if his strength had been suddenly drained, and he looked a little mentally decadent.
"Do you know that this incident may be related to the destruction of the Shenwei General's Mansion ten years ago. When the two of us were sent on other missions, I was dissatisfied, and I once quietly inquired about the brothers of the killer cousin what they were going to do. They were all talking about him mysteriously, so one time they had a meeting, I secretly listened to it, and I didn't know who was talking about the affairs of General Kamui's mansion. I was shocked, so I had an accident with you and was seriously injured.
However, because of this, it was a blessing in disguise, and he was able to stay in the soul tower without interfering in that matter. ”
Elder Jiang was not surprised at all, because she had already learned from Chong Jin that the Soul Tower was involved in the extermination of the Shenwei General's Mansion. Compared with Mu Tianlan's slight panic, she seemed calmer: "Do you have the list of the Killer Hall back then?" ”
"Most of them use pseudonyms, just like Mu Tianlan is not my real name. This is our means of saving our lives as killers. ”
Jiang Li nodded, indicating that he was clear. Continue to listen to Mu Tianlan say: "Come in with me." ”
Elder Mu took Jiang Li to the study, picked up the brush, and began to write and draw on it.
In a short time, a few portraits jumped onto the paper, and although the brushstrokes were rough, the appearance and characteristics of the people could still be seen. Mu Tianlan wrote the names of the people and the location of their hometown in turn.
"There were five people here, and that's all I can remember. Whether it can help you or not depends on your creation. Sooner or later, this matter will be known to others, Mu Tianlan looked up at the roof, a little reluctant, it's time to leave here......
"Thank you, Elder Mu!" Jiang Li carefully folded these portraits and put them into his arms, then arched his hand at Elder Mu and left in a hurry.
Chongjin returned to Xiuzhu Garden, and Dou Ye was in charge of teaching Qin Ling to take steady steps. Qin Lingxuan also studied very seriously.
In the past, although she knew some martial arts, her foundation was extremely poor, so she couldn't play much use. So Dou Ye was willing to teach her, and she studied very seriously.
Chong Jin stood quietly at the gate of the courtyard and watched them for a while, his brother and sister were very loving, and then he said: "Pack up your baggage, we have to go out." ”
Qin Lingxuan saw Chongjin coming back, and trotted to her: "Brother Yu, you're back!" Where are we going? ”
"Secret." Chongjin put his hand on his lips and made a shush motion.
Qin Lingxuan also learned to make a booing gesture with Chongjin.
Dou Ye packed up his things for practice, walked over and asked, "When will you leave?" ”
"Pack your things and get ready to go. Go ahead. As soon as Chong Jin finished speaking, he felt someone's breath coming from outside the door, and motioned Dou Ye to get ready with his eyes, and Chong Jin rushed over with an arrow and pulled the person into the courtyard.
The man said "oops~", and Chongjin saw clearly that the person who came was Aunt Yun, the cook of Cuishanju.
At the moment, she still has a snack box in her hand.
Chongjin hurriedly helped Aunt Yun up, patted the dust on her body, and apologized: "I'm sorry, Aunt Yun, I don't know it's you, I thought someone was eavesdropping on us." ”
"Ouch, my old bones, I don't blame you, I don't blame you. I just walked to the door and suddenly broke my foot, stopped and rubbed it, and you caught me in. It's good that the snacks didn't fall to the ground, otherwise I would have been mad if I had done it for nothing. ”
"Aunt Yun, have you made a new snack? Then I'm going to try it! As soon as Chongjin heard the dim sum, he immediately felt a lot happier.
took the dim sum from Aunt Yun's hand, and beckoned Qin Lingxuan and Dou Ye to come over and taste it together. The three of them smiled as they ate, and they forgot a lot of troubles for a while.
