Chapter Twenty-Four: The Eve of the Storm

The sound of the piano stopped, the beauty took a curtain call, but the applause and cheers around did not disappear for a long time.

"Miss Ji Yao, I... I love you! The voice of the confession was urgent and loud, but it was drowned out by the noisy cheers, but the man's eyes still followed the dazzling red.

Unexpectedly, the woman stopped and looked back to follow the prestige. I saw that there was a scholar in gray clothes in the crowd whose faces were flushed, and he looked at himself at a little bewildered. Looking at each other, the woman smiled and turned to leave.

The woman has been in the flower building for many years, and the crowd cheers, shouts and confesses that she has long been accustomed to. I just don't know why, I actually stayed for this confession. Perhaps she heard shyness and courage in it, which was different from the usual voices mixed with desire. Yan Ran smiled, but she thought the scholar's shy and helpless appearance was a little funny. What she didn't know was that her casual smile had made the scholars on the other side of the river stupid, stunned, and rippling.

With Ji Yao's departure, the guests of Yinghualou also began to disperse. Most of the audience tonight is just to see with their own eyes the demeanor of Ji Yao, one of the four major Oiran in the Xiachuan Continent, after Ji Yao became famous, there are not many times she has performed on stage, today Ji Yao appeared with a new show, there is a little money in Shifang City, and the men who can afford the admission ticket want to see the beauty, not to mention that there are many martial arts people in Shifang City recently, this full scene Liu Qin has long expected, only the silver ticket of the admission ticket has made her earn a lot of money.

The flow of people has dispersed, and now the remaining eighty percent of the Yinghua Building are regular customers who often seek pleasure here.

After Yuwen Tuo left, Lu Qianmo came out of the secret door, she heard the conversation between Murong Ze and Yuwen Tuo just now, she didn't expect Murong to be so unkind to the other party, she didn't care, she didn't like that person anyway.

"Ji Yao's demeanor is still the same." Lu Qianmo admired. Just in another room, she also enjoyed Ji Yao's performance, compared to the first time she saw her, she was still as glamorous, but she was more mature and stable.

"It's really pleasing to the eye." Murong Ze commented.

"There is a beautiful woman who will never forget it. I don't see it for a day, and I think like crazy. It describes the scholar's love for Ji Yao. Just now, she looked at the actions of the scholar and Ji Yao, and this was what came to mind.

"There is a beautiful woman who will never forget it. I don't see it for a day, and I think like crazy. Murong Ze repeated, thinking for a long time to make sure that he had indeed never heard it, and asked, "Why haven't I heard this sentence?" ”

When Lu Qianmo heard this, he suggested very sincerely, "If you have time to go to Fenshui City, read all my books, and ensure that you are reborn." "Even if you finish reading all the books in the Xia Chuan Continent, you won't be able to see Sima Xiangru's "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix".

"Are you sure you didn't say this yourself?" Murong Ze was very skeptical of Lu Qianmo's words.

"Miss Ben is very pleased to be such a talented person in your heart."

Murong Ze suddenly smacked Lu Qianmo's head with a folding fan, "I'm glad you're a ghost, and I'm relieved." ”

Lu Qianmo hugged her head and glared angrily, "Hey! It hurts! ”

Murong Ze smiled evilly, and spread his hands and said, what can you do with me.

Seeing this, Lu Qianmo was angry, stretched out his leg and hooked one of the other party's legs, and then pushed forward, "You love to knock on this girl's head, I will help you treat it today." ”

Murong Ze didn't expect Lu Qianmo to react so much this time, and he might as well have already been pulled into a line by the other party and sat on the ground. The pain, the pain of broken muscles and bones, he felt that the tendons in his legs were about to break. "Dead girl, you're real!"

Lu Qianmo saw Murong Ze's face showing pain, and he was in a very happy mood. He also took the opportunity to press one leg on the other person's shoulder to prevent him from getting up. Then he snatched the folding fan from Murong Ze's hand and knocked it hard in his head, and said proudly: "Do you say that I am real?" ”

"In that case, don't blame me for being rude." The corners of Murong Ze's mouth rose, and his face showed evil.

Lu Qianmo snorted, "Hey, don't look at me with this expression." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a pain in his waist, and then the whole person was thrown out of the air. "Damn." Fortunately, it reacted quickly, and the descent speed was controlled by internal force, and it was not directly left on the wall. It's just that before she could stand firmly, Murong Ze's evil claws attacked, and her helpless figure turned around and sat on the chair next to her. However, as if the other party knew her thoughts, she instantly followed the change of direction and attacked again, this time Lu Qianmo did not avoid it, raised her right leg and kicked the opponent's arm. Seeing this, Murong Ze directly grabbed his ankle and pulled it hard, also wanting the other party to try the coolness of a horse. It's a pity that Lu Qianmo's figure took advantage of Murong Ze's inattention when he jumped over Murong Ze, making him unable to move. In the end, this sudden "competition" ended with Murong Ze holding Lu Qianmo's right ankle and leaning forward, and Lu Qianmo's right leg raised as if he was about to do a 100-meter hurdle.

Murong Ze found that he was frozen, glared angrily, and shouted angrily: "Dead girl, untie it for me!" ”

"Please, I don't feel good like this." Lu Qianmo's right leg was tightly held by Murong Ze, and he couldn't break free, and he gritted his teeth and said, "It's so tight when it's pointed." ”

Originally, Murong Ze was still annoyed that he was carelessly fixed, but seeing that although the other party was not pointed, he could only accompany him, and his heart seemed to be much more balanced, "How can this son suffer, how about it?" Do you regret that you want to unlock the acupoint for this son immediately? ”

"Dreaming!"

"That's good~ then ......"

Knock knock, the knock on the door suddenly interrupted Murong Ze's words, and someone came.

"Lord." A deep male voice came from outside the door.

It's Ling Yin, it's really time to come, and this son will definitely reward you. Murong Ze looked at Lu Qianmo and motioned for the other party to untie his acupoint.

Lu Qianmo turned her head to look at Bei Zhu, as if she didn't see the other party's hint. Ling Yin, this guy is really good at picking the time.

"Hey, untie it."

Hmph, don't think about it.

"Hey~Dead girl." Murong Ze saw that the other party ignored him, so he could only make a trick. "Don't you want to know, what is Ling Yin's report at the moment?"

There is no hurry.

Ignore me? See how long you can hold out. Murong Ze smiled evilly and said, "If you don't want to know about Yuwen Tuo, then forget it." Let's stay like this, this son is not in a hurry. ”

Yuwen Tuo? Hearing this, although Lu Qianmo was reluctant, he still explained Murong Ze's acupoints.

As soon as Murong Ze's acupoint was unlocked, he wanted to reward Lu Qianmo with a burst again, but before he could start, he heard Lu Qianmo's voice coming. "Come in." Of course, this was said to Ling Yin, and Murong Ze could only restrain the offensive. However, Ling Yin outside the door seemed to hesitate for a moment before pushing the door in. And Ling Yin pushed open the door and saw Lu Qianmo and Murong Ze both sitting upright looking at him.

"See the Pavilion Master, Lord." He could hear the voice of the pavilion master just now, so he was already surprised by the fact that the other party appeared in front of him.

"Ling Yin, long time no see." Lu Qianmo greeted her old acquaintance cordially.

"The Pavilion Master has been doing well lately." Ling Yin has never been smiling, even if he greets people, he is also one-on-one and does not carry any emotions.

"Not bad, but if you could show me your smile someday, I'd be better." Lu Qianmo teased.

Ling Yin's heart: The pavilion master is really joking.

Lu Qianmo's heart: But you don't laugh.

Murong Ze in his heart: Hehe, Ling Yin has been with him for ten years, and he has never seen the other party laugh once. He had wondered more than once if the other party was caused by facial paralysis, and he still speculated like this.

……

Ling Yin always seems to make the atmosphere suddenly embarrassing, the point is that it is always someone else who is embarrassed, and he himself never knows what embarrassment is. After a period of silence, Murong Ze took the lead and asked Ling Yin, "What did you find?" ”

"The subordinates think that the owners of each shop should be able to rule out suspicion. From the time they left Yinghualou yesterday to Yuwen Tuo's departure just now, none of our people found that any of the eight of them had any connection with Yuwen Tuo, nor did they find anything suspicious. Ling Yin brought the results of his investigation one by one.

"But Yuwen Tuo appeared on time in Yinghua Building tonight, as if he knew that I was going to pick up people here. But I only told the eight of them yesterday about it. ”

"Three possibilities. First, it was indeed one of them who gave Yuwen Tuo the news, but Ling Yin didn't find out. Second, they inadvertently told the news to others, and Yuwen Tuo's secret line knew about it. Third, there were people with Yuwen Tuo hidden around Moyan Pavilion, and they happened to listen to Murong's words. Lu Qianmo expressed his opinion on this matter.

"The possibility of the third point is very small, unless the opponent is a top master, it is impossible not to be discovered." As soon as he came, he ordered the Moyan Pavilion to secretly strengthen its defenses, and it was impossible for ordinary spies to hide for so long without being discovered.

"Hmm. I think the second point is more likely, so Ling Yin will focus on this aspect first. Lu Qianmo explained.

"My subordinates understand."

"Good. If it's okay, let's go down and rest first. ”

"My subordinates still have something to report."

"What's the matter?"

"Today, a large number of people from the Demon Sect have come to Shifang City. Although their tracks are secretive, they are still discovered by us. ”

Lu Qianmo and Murong Ze looked at each other, and they both wondered in their hearts why a large number of people from the Demon Sect suddenly came to Shifang City. It won't be for the decent people who came to participate in the big birthday of the owner of the Wind Howling Sword Village, right? In that case, the matter is serious.

"We found that their people were divided into four groups, which were hidden in the southeast, northwest, and northwest directions of Shifang City. At present, the largest number of people gathered in the west can be investigated by subordinates, and a large number of ordinary houses are distributed in the west, and the alleys are deep and long, and the addresses of any important people in Shifang City have not been found there. ”

Ling Yin's implication was that they had not yet grasped the purpose of the Demon Sect's move.

"Can there be people from the rivers and lakes who have recently arrived in Shifang City staying there?" Lu Qianmo asked. If it is not aimed at the important people in Shifang City, it is most likely the people in the rivers and lakes who have come recently.

"There are many houses in that area, and there is only one inn, and my subordinates have investigated, and there are just ordinary guests in the inn."

"Let our people continue to investigate secretly, and if there is anything abnormal, report it immediately." Lu Qianmo commanded.

"Yes. The subordinates retired. ”

When the martial arts people have not yet reacted to the Demon Sect's desire to make a comeback, they established their own base in the four countries with lightning speed, and during that time, the people in the rivers and lakes were massacred by the Demon Sect, and the situation was very tragic. In the end, fortunately, the Xuanqing Sect once again came forward to gather all the major sects in the rivers and lakes to fight the enemy together, so that they were able to temporarily stop the crazy offensive of the Demon Sect.

In this way, the ultimate goal of the Demon Sect is to attack the Central Plains Martial Arts, but the last time they assassinated Yun Moxi in Huazhou City, it was suspicious. Yun Moxi is the prince of Dongyue Yun Bohou Mansion, and he belongs to the imperial court, why did the Demon Sect assassinate him? If it weren't for the grudge with the Demon Sect during Yun Moxi's wandering, it would have been ...... Thinking of this, Lu Qianmo gasped, hoping that he was just thinking too much.

"What do you think about this?" Murong Ze saw that Lu Qianmo's face was ugly, and asked.

Lu Qianmo shook her head, she couldn't figure out why the Demon Sect was doing this. "Wait for news from Ling Yin. Regardless of why the Demon Cult is concentrated in large numbers in the residential areas to the west, I think that one of the purposes for their visit to Shifang City may be to target the people in the rivers and lakes who have been here recently. ”

Murong Ze agreed with this idea.

"This matter, you pay attention to this. If that's the case, don't let the Demon Cult succeed. Lu Qianmo said with a straight face, the people in the Demon Sect are brutal and murderous, she doesn't want the rivers and lakes to be dominated by the Demon Sect, and the ordinary people will suffer and fall into misery at that time.
