Chapter 148: Listening to the News
"Drive!"
As night fell, Qing Ling was even more hurried, and on the avenue, he rushed straight towards Baichuan City.
"Phew!"
When he was about to approach the city gate, Qing Ling subconsciously whispered and pulled the reins, just because he was stopped by the guards.
"Who are you? Get off your horse and be examined. ”
A guard captain who seemed to be the leader, even more heavily armed, shouted at Qing Ling with vigilance.
Qing Ling was unmoved, sat proudly on horseback and asked, "What? If you don't accept it, you won't be allowed to enter the city?"
The captain of the guard threatened viciously: "You dare to talk to me like this, believe it or not, I will arrest you as a spy sent by the enemy city?"
"Oh?"
Qing Ling's pretty eyes lit up, and he seemed to have realized a little, so he immediately didn't say much, turned the horse's head, and whipped away.
"Captain, do you think you want to order a hunt?"
But when he saw this, one of the guards made a request.
The captain of the guard hesitated for a moment, but when he saw that the masked woman had already ridden away, and in the twilight of the night, she had disappeared into the mountains and forests, and only said, "Let her go!" The order issued by the lord of the city is that it is strictly forbidden for suspicious people to enter the city. ”
"Yes!"
A group of guards immediately said yes, and they were ready to fight, and they performed their duties.
"I didn't expect this Baichuan City to be under martial law. When he disappeared from the guards' field of vision, Qing Lingjian didn't chase after him, but frowned slightly and thought, "It seems that I have to sneak into the city." ”
Qing Ling, who had made up his mind, immediately gave up his mount, got into the dense forest next to the road, changed into a black suit, and quietly walked towards Baichuan City.
However, it didn't take long for Uncle Ah Lan to come with four people, but when he saw the horses grazing leisurely and unattended by the roadside, he couldn't help but attract attention.
"Uncle Alan, isn't this the mount that looks like a woman from the Feiling family?"
Still dragged Ya's sharp eyes, recognized it when he landed, and immediately turned over and dismounted, and investigated around.
"Hmph!" Uncle Ah Lan sat on the horse's back safely, looked around, and hummed softly: "Leave her alone, let's go to the city first." ”
"Oh!"
Tuya had no choice but to respond, turn over and get on his horse, and go with him.
Uncle A Lan and his party were also stopped by the guards guarding the city, but fortunately, they were accompanied by two guides sent by the hundred merchants, so after some negotiation and private bribery, they were released into the city without danger.
"I didn't expect them to get into town so easily. ”
However, this sect completely relied on its own strength, relying on its agile skills, and when the guards were not paying attention to the Qing Ling who climbed over the wall and entered the city, he couldn't help but muttered to himself in his heart.
At this moment, the sky is already dark, and Qingling, who is in Baichuan City, looks around, only to see that the lights are scarce, and there are few pedestrians on the street, which is extremely deserted and depressed.
Qing Ling, who had removed his night clothes, wore a green gauze dress and found a relatively atmospheric inn in the city.
As soon as I entered the store, I only heard the guy in the store come up and ask, "Does the guest officer want to stay in the hotel?"
"Hmm. Qing Ling, who was covered with a scarf, replied, "Come to an upper room." ”
"Good at it!" the man said with joy in front of him, "Guest officer, please come with me." ”
Qing Ling didn't respond, followed upstairs, and inadvertently looked at the lobby of the inn, where there were only two or three tables of people sitting, and one of them glanced at him from time to time.
"This is the best room in the hotel, eighty diamonds a night, what else do you need?"
"No need. After Qing Ling replied, he handed out a Yan coin and said, "This is the house money, no need to look for it." ”
The guy was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly, "Thank you, thank you." Presumably, the guest officer is tired, so rest early. ”
After the guy closed the door and retreated, Qing Ling did not forget to lock the door bolt first, and then his eyes flowed into the room, but after seeing that there was nothing unusual, he came to the window, looked out of the window, and secretly thought to himself: "Brother Qiang wants me to come to this Baichuan City to look for snow lotus, how useful can I rely on that Baichuan Firm?" It seems that I can only sneak into the city lord's mansion to find it. ”
Thinking of this, Qing Ling closed the window, came to the bed, hovered and sat on the bed, and carried out the unique Xuangong, and grasped the cultivation.
As the night deepened, until the early hours of the morning, Qing Ling, who was pranayama, suddenly heard a strange noise in the door of the room, and was alert from his cultivation.
However, at this moment, the candle flame had long been burned out, and the room could be described as pitch black. But for Qing Ling, who was an assassin, he was not affected, but had the upper hand.
"Is this a black shop?"
Qing Ling secretly asked, dodged and hid behind the bed, planning to surprise a counterattack.
"Click!"
Then, suddenly, there was a soft sound, and the deadbolt was cut. Then the door seemed to be blown open by a breeze.
"Humph!"
Qing Ling, who was hiding quietly behind the bed, snorted lightly, and several poisonous needles had been pinched between his fingers.
"Huh!"
After waiting for two figures, he came to the bed lightly in the dark. As soon as he found that there was no one on the bed, Qingling immediately took the opportunity to seize the opportunity and made a decisive move. The hand poison needle immediately hit the two people who were caught off guard.
"Oops!"
The two people who were poisoned by the needles fell to the ground at the same time and wailed in pain.
"Not good!"
After that, I wanted to come to someone outside the room to answer me, so I lost my voice and fled.
"How?"
Qing Ling, who was hiding behind the bed, heard the voice, and couldn't help but be stunned, and waited for a moment before appearing and coming out, only glancing at the two people who were screaming on the ground. After settling down, I leaned out of the door and saw that there was no figure in the entire corridor, thinking that I had fled because my deeds were revealed.
"Tell me, who are you waiting for, why are you here?"
When he turned around and entered the room, Qing Ling closed the door before interrogating.
"Please also ask the fairy to spare his life! The villain is also trying to eat for a mixed meal, so he doesn't know what to do, and he offended the fairy you. ”
"Yes, yes, it's just because I heard the brothers in the gang say that a masked fairy came to stay in the Baichuan Building at night, so my two brothers had bad intentions, and I hoped that the fairy would forgive me and spare the little ignorance and offense. ”
"Hmph!" Qing Ling heard the two people's answers, and sneered and asked, "Is this true?"
The two hurriedly replied: "It's true! It's true! I hope the fairy will spare his life!"
Until this moment, there was still no movement outside the room, looking like this, it really had nothing to do with this inn, Qing Ling understood this reason but asked: "You are so bold and reckless, openly breaking into the house to seek money and killing people, aren't you afraid of the guards in this city arresting?"
"Fairy, you don't know anything! Since the war started in this Baichuan City, this city has been completely chaotic, and I recently heard that Heiyu City in the northwest is coming, so this Baichuan City will be destroyed sooner or later. ”
"Exactly, exactly, so the villain is also forced by the situation to dare to offend the fairy you, and please fairy don't be surprised, spare the villain's life!"
"Is that really the case?"
Qing Ling was secretly shocked, and then thought about it, and the chaos of burning, killing and looting had also broken out in the Eight Desolation City due to the war, but it was all because the Aoxing City Lord saw that the Eight Desolation City was not protected, so he gave this inhumane order and let the Eight Desolate City be destroyed in one fell swoop.
Fortunately, his strong brother rushed to the rescue with the Miao clan who lived in seclusion from the fairy world, so that the Eight Desolate City escaped a catastrophe, and took over the Eight Desolate City from then on, and governed the Eight Desolate City well, so that the people of the city can really live and work in peace and contentment, and they are thriving.
Thinking of this, Qingling inadvertently sketched a happy and sweet smile on the corner of his mouth. However, in the room where the black light was blind and the five fingers could not be seen, the two gangsters who were still slumped to the ground because of the poisonous needles on their bodies were crying bitterly in their hearts, and they really shouldn't touch this mold. And looking at it like this, the accomplices who said that they were going to answer outside, but I am afraid that they will not dare to come to the rescue.
After a pause, relying on his ability to see at night in the dark as an assassin, he moved to a chair and sat down peacefully before saying, "Since you two have no intention of offending, it is okay for me to spare your two lives, but it is conditional." ”
"Ah! Condition? What condition? Fairy, please say, the little one is willing to serve the fairy. ”
"Yes!
"Do you know the snow lotus?"
Qing Ling didn't say much, and asked directly.
"Snow Lotus?"
The two gangsters were in a dark room with closed doors and windows, and although they couldn't look at each other, they were also stunned.
Qing Ling was even more coercive and tempting: "As long as you tell the whereabouts of the snow lotus and find it, I will not only spare your two lives, but also take out the poisonous needles that have been shot into your bodies." Otherwise, even if I don't do it now, in three days' time, you two will die under the poison needle. ”
"Ah, the fairy, spare your life, spare your life, this ...... This snow lotus...... I've only heard people talk about the little ones, but I don't know where they really are!"
"Yes, yes, but don't worry, the fairy, my Baishan Gang is also one of the best gangs in this Baichuan City, and I hope that the fairy will be tolerant and return to the gang to find out the whereabouts of this snow lotus for the fairy." ”
Qing Ling asked, "So, don't you two know the whereabouts of this snow lotus?"
"Fairy, don't you know! This snow lotus is the treasure of my Baichuan City, not to mention ignorant people such as me, even if it is the city lord, it is extremely difficult to get!"
"But the small one has heard rumors that the city lord's treasury is treasured, but it's just that kind of place, there are many organs, fairy, you ...... You're afraid it's not easy to find. ”
Hearing this, Qing Ling knew that it was difficult to ask anything, so he simply ordered: "Get out of here now! Before the sun sets tomorrow, provide me with useful information, otherwise, just wait for the poison to die!"
"Yes! Yes!"
Hearing the forgiveness of sin and forgiveness of life, the two gangsters hurriedly supported each other, followed the glimmer of light projected through the crack in the door, stumbled, and quickly fled for their lives.
But seeing the two of them helping each other open the door, Qing Ling suddenly shouted: "Listen, I don't want anyone else to know about this matter, otherwise, you two should know what the consequences are?"
"Don't worry, fairy, we will never talk to outsiders. ”
"Yes, yes, fairy, please wait for us to hear from you. ”
After saying this, the two gangsters didn't want to stay longer for a moment, and almost crawled out of the door, scrambling to escape from the inn.
