Chapter 21: The Twelfth Master?

Zhang Qiyue traveled alone, and soon went to the west of the city, and after a little inquiry with passers-by, he came to the door of the mille-feuille Xiubu Village. Stopping and looking at it, this cloth village looks very ordinary, and there is no sense of luxury as imagined.

After entering the cloth village, because it was still early and there were no customers in the store, a man was cleaning some dust from the cloth with a wool duster, and the shopkeeper was sitting at the counter reading a book. Zhang Qiyue roughly looked around Xiabuzhuang, and there was only one feeling: ordinary.

Seeing Zhang Qiyue come in, the guy put down his hairduster, greeted him, and said politely: "What does the guest officer need?"

Zhang Qiyue said: "I want to buy some Qingfeng Xiu. ”

A hint of discoloration flashed in the man's eyes, and he asked, "How much does the guest officer want to buy?"

Zhang Qiyue said: "One foot and five inches." ”

The man looked at the shopkeeper, who had already put down the scroll, stepped forward, and said, "Qingfeng Xiu is a treasure, and the stock of the small shop is also limited, so it is inconvenient to show it easily. Dare to ask the guest officer, where did he know that the shop sells this thing?"

Zhang Qiyue felt that these incisions were so long-winded, and he thought to himself about the idiot code set by an idiot. I wanted to skip this process quickly, and said impatiently: "Mr. Jin introduced me, take me to see the Twelfth Master quickly." ”

The shopkeeper was stunned, stretched out his hand to let in, and said, "Guest officer, please come with me." ”

Walking up to the room on the second floor with the shopkeeper, I saw a plain woman sitting in front of the window, embroidering. The woman seems to be in her thirties, her appearance is not ugly or beautiful, she is dressed in an ordinary way, which is very consistent with the temperament of this cloth village, but looking at the appearance and figure, it gives people the impression that it is ordinary. However, the woman's skillful hands are between the needles and threads, and her demeanor is elegant, but there are some unusual artistic conceptions.

The shopkeeper bowed to the woman and withdrew.

Zhang Qiyue looked at the woman, her eyes couldn't help blinking and blinking, and she asked uncertainly, "Twelfth Master?"

The woman did not look up, but still concentrated on the embroidery in her hand, and said softly, "How did the guest find this place?"

Zhang Qiyue still asked, "Are you the twelfth master?"

The woman glanced up at Zhang Qiyue and chuckled, "I came to look for the Green Leopard Society, but I don't know my identity, and I don't know how your family told you." Yes, I'm twelve. ”

Zhang Qiyue smiled and said, "I didn't expect it, dare to ask the Twelfth Master, is it safe to talk here?"

A slight smile appeared on the corner of the woman's mouth, and she said, "Since the guests know that this is where the Green Leopard Club is located, why bother to ask?"

Zhang Qiyue didn't seem to hear the contempt in the woman's words, and said with a smile: "The Twelfth Master doesn't know, I'm a timid person, so I'm afraid that others will overhear me." I'm here this time with a big business, and I don't want what you and I say to leak out. ”

"In that case, it's up to the guests. The woman raised the embroidery needle in her hand and waved it lightly a few times, and the whole room was enveloped in a layer of light blue aura.

"I'm curious about what kind of 'big business' it is. The woman lowered her eyebrows and smiled, and continued to embroider in her hands, rather dismissively in her words and deeds.

Zhang Qiyue said calmly: "It's not a big deal, it's just that a broom star who was seriously injured and was chased and killed asked me to tell you, 'There are ghosts on the chessboard, and Xiaoshuo will not return.'" ’”

Hearing this, the movement of the needle in the woman's hand stopped abruptly, there was no more relaxation on her face, and she looked at Zhang Qiyue with a serious expression, with a cold light flashing in her eyes, "Who are you?

Zhang Qiyue smiled and said, "Oh, is the Twelfth Master finally willing to talk to me seriously?"

The woman looked at Zhang Qiyue for a moment, put down the needlework and embroidery in her hand, and said, "The etiquette is not good, and I hope the guests will not blame." ”

Zhang Qiyue waved his hand and said, "These mundane things, let's save them, I was just entrusted by that guy to come and pass on a word." Don't worry, he's safe at the moment, but whether he can stay safe all the time depends on whether the Twelfth Master can shoot the ghost behind him to death. ”

The woman's eyes were cloudy, and after a moment she said, "Well, I know how to do it." Then he looked at Zhang Qiyue and asked with some hesitation: "Can the guest easily identify himself?"

Zhang Qiyue thought about it, took out the Keqing token and said, "Anyway, I can't hide it from you, do you know this?"

The woman took the token, looked at it carefully, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, returned the token to Zhang Qiyue, and said in a respectful tone: "It turned out that it was a distinguished guest visiting, and it was rude to be more than twelve." ”

Zhang Qiyue put away the token and said: "Okay, I've also brought the words, Twelfth Master, you are busy, when you are done, that guy will appear in front of you alive, and I will be punished with him again." ”

The woman saluted solemnly and said, "Distinguished guest go slowly, please take me to thank the shopkeeper." ”

Zhang Qiyue touched his nose, didn't want to explain more, and said: "In the next farewell, the twelfth master doesn't have to send each other." ”

The woman dispersed the prohibition, and Zhang Qiyue went downstairs and left.

The woman sat back in front of the window, her face was cold, and she said coldly: "Under my command, there will be internal ghosts, if those old guys know, wouldn't they die of laughter? It's really nice to make me lose such a big face......"

......

Zhang Qiyue walked on the street, thinking about the scene of Fang Cai, feeling a little funny, a woman is actually called the Twelfth Master, at her age, she should be called the Twelfth Aunt, the Twelfth Aunt is right. For a while, I thought of the situation of intrigue with Xiao Shuo, and couldn't help but laugh secretly, aren't the people of the Green Leopard Club so interesting? Zhang Qiyue was enjoying himself, and suddenly noticed that there was a Dao like nothing, and the breath was locked towards him, so he stopped and looked back, but he didn't find anything unusual. He sneered in his heart, quickly walked to an alley beside him, and turned in.

The person who was following behind him found that after Zhang Qiyue turned into the alley, his breath disappeared immediately. Slightly frightened, he hurriedly chased after him, but he didn't find Zhang Qiyue's figure, hesitated, and turned to leave.

Spotting the stalker leaving, Zhang Qiyue behind the wall was thoughtful.

Not long after, Zhang Qiyue had returned to Agarwood Residence, and under the guidance of Yu Hui, he came to Xiaoshuo's room alone.

Xiao Shuo was sitting on the bed to heal his wounds, and when he saw Zhang Qiyue coming in, he got up and said, "This is coming back?" ”

Zhang Qiyue found a chair and sat down, picked up the teapot on the table and said while pouring tea: "It's just running errands and passing the word, how much time does it take, your twelfth aunt has already received a notice, and it is estimated that you will be able to get out of the sea of suffering soon." ”

Xiao Shuo also sat down and said with a smile: "Don't worry now, I didn't lie to you." ”

Zhang Qiyue took a sip of tea and said, "There are a few questions for you, you'd better not hide it." ”

Xiao Shuo picked up the cup and poured the tea, and said, "If you ask, I will naturally know everything if I can answer." ”

Zhang Qiyue asked, "Why were you hunted down by the Xuanwu Sect?"

Xiao Shuo put down the teacup, sighed, and said: "This can tell you, I took a mission, lurked to the Xuanwu Sect to inquire about the news, and accidentally discovered that the Xuanwu Sect would take action in Wangsha City, and before I could investigate deeply, my identity was leaked, so I had to flee for my life." The worst thing is that after escaping to the answering location, the respondent did not appear, but waited for the sneak attack of the Xuanwu Sect, so he was so embarrassed. If it weren't for the luck of someone helping me halfway, I would have died in the desert. The sky really has eyes, otherwise there would be no fate between you and me. ”

"Phew!" Zhang Qiyue said in disgust: "Who wants to know your broom star! I don't know which bastard is so ignorant, and actually helped you escape, definitely blind." ”

Xiao Shuo smiled and said, "Don't say that, you and I have known each other for a short time, and you will know how good and useful I am in the future." ”

Zhang Qiyue rolled his eyes, "If you don't make trouble for me, I will thank you for your great kindness." That is, I have a good temper, otherwise I would have killed you just because you caused the disaster to the same moon building. ”

Xiao Shuo echoed: "That's that, looking at the world, if you talk about kindness, who can compare with Brother July?"

"Less of this. Zhang Qiyue said angrily, and after taking a sip of tea, Zhang Qiyue thought about it for a while and said, "So, you went to investigate outside the Ding Mansion, and it is related to your discovery in the Xuanwu Sect?"

Xiao Shuo nodded, and said: "The Green Leopard Society is inseparable from the enemy and me, and I didn't dare to contact it for a while, so I went to the Ding Mansion to take a look, hoping to find some clues." I found that there were people watching from the Ding Mansion, but I didn't know if it was a traitor to the Xuanwu Sect or the Green Leopard Society, and I didn't know how to start, so I met you and Cheng Beichuan. Speaking of this, Xiao Shuo smiled very happily, "It seems that I am destined to commit a crime, and I can always get help from nobles." ”

Zhang Qiyue said helplessly: "Your good luck is based on other people's bad luck. What exactly is the plan of the Xuanwu Sect?"

Xiao Shuo was a little embarrassed and said: "Actually, I don't know much, I only know that the Xuanwu Sect wants to secretly control Wangsha City, and the target is a few big people in the city, except for Master Ding, I am not very sure about the others." ”

Zhang Qiyue looked at Xiao Shuo with an unkind face.

Xiao Shuo hurriedly said: "But according to my speculation, at least the city lord Zhao Mantian and the city guard commander Ling Hefan should be among them, after all, these two people, like Master Ding, have a very direct influence on Wangsha City." ”

Zhang Qiyue pondered: "According to what you mean, the Xuanwu Sect's actions have just begun?"

Xiao Shuo said: "Almost, if the Xuanwu Sect succeeds, Wangsha City will definitely be in chaos, so you have to help me get out of trouble quickly, and I can use the power of the Green Leopard Society to help you." ”

Zhang Qiyue said angrily: "You don't talk about these useless things, even if the Xuanwu Sect wants to control Wangsha City, at most it will be high-level turmoil, and we are a group of ordinary people in the same Yuelou, what can we be troubled by?"

Xiao Shuo soothed: "I can't say that, if you can solve the conspiracy of the Xuanwu Sect, the City Lord's Mansion will owe you a great favor in the future, plus my Green Leopard Society, in Wangsha City in the future, who else will dare to mess with Tongyuelou?"

Zhang Qiyue looked at Xiao Shuo with a smile and said, "So, I have to thank you for giving me this opportunity to perform?"

Xiao Shuo smelled that the breath was wrong, and hurriedly smiled: "How can it, Brother Qi's righteousness is Bo Yuntian, a rare genius in a hundred years, and when it comes to this kind of trivial matter, I just dealt with it easily, and I just got a little light by the way." ”

Zhang Qiyue was a little defeated by him, and said: "You guys are really exquisite, you, a cultivator in the foundation building period, are so good at the way of greeting, I am really willing to bow down." ”

Xiao Shuo's face did not change and said: "The main cultivation direction of our industry is to run fast and hide deeply. Fights and the like are naturally weaker. Brother July can actually see through my cultivation, it's amazing, I don't know where Brother July is now?"

Zhang Qiyue took a leisurely sip of tea and said, "You might as well guess." ”

Xiao Shuo pondered: "When you told the story of the small mountain village before, Zeng Yan started cultivating at the age of eight and entered the Qi cultivation in a year, so this qualification is not far behind compared to the top core disciples of those major sects. With the arduous cultivation experience you have revealed, even if you say that you have entered the realm of the primordial infant, I will not find it strange. ”

Zhang Qiyue smiled and said: "You are exalting me too much, my golden pill has not been successful, where can I come from Yuanying." ”

Xiao Shuo was puzzled when he heard this: "Won't it? At least Jin Dan is stable, but there is an accident in the middle?"

Zhang Qiyue didn't want to talk about this matter deeply, and said, "Last question, in your opinion, among the enemies of your Green Leopard Society, what is the highest cultivation realm?"

Xiao Shuo thought for a while and replied, "At most, the middle stage of foundation building." ”

Zhang Qiyue nodded, put down the teacup and said, "The tea is finished, and the day is enough, let's go." ”

Xiao Shuo said strangely: "Where are you going?"

Zhang Qiyue got up and said seriously: "Uncle Cheng, they are leaving tomorrow, it doesn't make much sense for you to stay here for one more day or one less day, after all, I still have to protect you." I'm not worried about the same moon building now, let's go back together, and I'll take care of it at the same time. ”

Xiao Shuo hesitated: "Are you sure?"

Zhang Qiyue glanced at him and said, "No, you are waiting for death here."
