However, now we can't sense that the other party is still in Gusu, nor does there be any eyewitness, we can say that we don't know anything about the enemy, how can we find out?" Ji Rong interjected.

"Well, since there are no clues, you can try a way without clues. ”

"Uncle Murong, what is the way without clues. ”

"Go find Mr. Jiang. ”

------ leaves fall into the city

Jiang Shiyan, the --- of Ye Chengcheng's retainer

My brother and I followed Murong Bai to their Gusu Murong family. The head of the family, Murong Yu, personally came out to meet us, and as a friend of Murong Bai, the most famous son of the Murong family, the Murong family was also very enthusiastic, but not excessive greetings, in short, I felt that the Murong family had its own principles and demeanor. This can be seen from the meal, at dinner, Murong Yu, Murong Bai, the head of the Murong family, Ji Rong who pestered him, brother and me, the five of us ate together, and only served four dishes and one soup.

But we didn't eat much of these four dishes. According to my brother, when he was a prince before, he occasionally ate these things in the palace, and said that these dishes, even in the palace, are very rare. For example, one of the dishes that looks like black adzuki beanie, I took a bite and realized that it was not bean bean because it had the umami flavor of seafood in it. Brother said that he only ate it once, called caviar, which was presented to the emperor by coastal cities, and it was very precious, and the cost of a plate of such black beans could be more than enough to set up a table of top-level sumptuous banquets. And this table of dishes seems to be a simple four dishes and one soup, which is enough for ordinary people to eat for a year. Only then did I know that the Murong family was really spending a lot of money.

During the banquet, Ji Rong naturally kept getting close to the head of the family, Murong Yu, and the sweetness of his uncle's name was a bit unpleasant. However, Murong Yu is tepid, probably because his son is excellent, and he is not afraid of finding a good daughter-in-law, without you Ji Rong, and there are not many famous ladies who dream of marrying this young hero Murong Bai, whose reputation is resounding throughout the continent. The Murong family also discouraged drinking, everyone just casually chatted while eating and drinking, and the atmosphere was very relaxed. About halfway through eating, after everyone got acquainted, Murong Bai proposed to his father that the purpose of this trip was to perceive that the murderer of Master Xixi was in Gusu. Murong Yu was also very surprised at the beginning.

"Why didn't you bring someone who was good at tracking along?"

It's a pity that the true qi left behind quickly disappeared. It's just that I sensed that this person was in Gusu at the time, and now he may no longer be there. However, the master and his old man are as kind to me as a mountain, and he is also one of the best grandmasters in this continent, even if there is only the slightest opportunity, we will not miss it, we must catch this murderer. ”

"However, now we can't sense that the other party is still in Gusu, nor do we have any witnesses, we can say that we don't know anything about the enemy, how can we find out?" Ji Rong interjected.

"Well, since there are no clues, you can try a way without clues. ”

"Uncle Murong, what is the way without clues. ”

"Go find Mr. Jiang. ”

The mansion of the Murong family is very large, there is no exaggerated and luxurious architecture, but the small bridge and flowing water, with a slight pruning but no traces, seem to be completely naturally grown trees, small stone benches for rest in the forest, and simple but also carved pavilions, all give people a natural and elegant feeling. After eating, we went to visit Mr. Chiang under the guidance of a servant.

The Murong family is the most powerful family in the entire Spring Water City, and its strength even exceeds that of the Chu family, the city lord of the Spring Water City. So when you ask in Jiangnan, where are the most talented students in the Jiangnan area? Where are the other strongest martial arts masters outside of the Ten Thousand Sword Pavilion? Where are the greatest strange people in the City of Spring Water? The locals will tell you that most of them are in the Murong family. The Murong family is also the only family in the City of Spring Water that allows the recruitment of retainers. The Mr. Jiang Shiyan Jiang we went to meet is said to be a master who is good at divination. People are like their names: immortal materials, like flying swallows, autumn goes to spring. This Mr. Jiang is not always in Murong Mansion, because all the retainers come and go freely, so some retainers are also not in the mansion all the year round, and the dragon will only be summoned back if there is something in the mansion. Luckily, when we arrived at Murong's house, this Mr. Jiang happened to come back not long ago.

When we arrived outside Mr. Jiang's room, we were about to knock on the door, only to hear a deep voice from inside, "Please come in." The four of us entered Mr. Jiang's room. The furnishings in the house are very simple. But there is a large bookshelf full of books. Outside the bookshelf, there is only a small table, surrounded by five stools, two old and three new. "There are few visitors, and the two stools in the house are free of superfluity, but today the rare guests came from afar and went out in the afternoon to borrow three stools. You may be seated. "Only then did we see Mr. Jiang, the god of the Murong family. His face was slightly haggard, and he looked to be in his sixties, but it was difficult to say the age of the cultivators, and it was possible to be in his sixteens. His hair was half white, and his eyes were blank, but when he swept over us, it seemed that there was an indescribable power in his cloudy eyes that instantly penetrated everything about us.

"Hello Mr. Jiang. The younger generation Murong Bai, who has admired Mr. Daming for a long time, came to visit him with a few friends when he had something to do today, which was disrespectful and disrespectful. ”

"Good. Tiger fathers have no dog sons. Speaking directly is very in line with the old man's appetite. ”

"Haha, the seniors have won awards, if you want to speak directly, my brother Hua Chengcheng is even above me. ”

Mr. Jiang glanced at his brother again and snorted coldly, "It's a pity that the life of an early death is not only an early death, but also the death of others." If it weren't for Murong Gongzi's friend, I would be sending off guests now!"

Brother didn't even get angry, and laughed, "Listening to what Mr. says, the most direct thing is Mr. ”

Murong Bai saw that the topic was wrong, so he went straight to the topic to avoid embarrassment, "Mr. Jiang, my master Master Xixi was attacked on the sixth day of the sixth month of the sixth month of June, and now he is missing, but the people in my sect have found out that the murderer is suspected to be a Yin and Yang scholar in the demon world, and he has appeared in the Gusu area. ”

I saw Mr. Jiang take out a compass, asked about the birthday of Master Murong Bai Xixi, the specific time of the incident, pinched his fingers and calculated for a long time, and then activated his true qi, a force was transmitted into the compass, and the pointer began to rotate, from fast to slow, and the pointer pointed to the northwest direction where Mr. Jiang was sitting. "According to my calculations, this person is in the direction indicated by the compass, but it is unknown how far away and what kind of person the Yin and Yang scholar is. ”

"Is there any difference between you and nothing? The pointer is pointing at you, does it mean that you may be the Yin Yang scholar who killed Master Xixi. It just so happened that when Master Xi had an accident, you returned to Murong's house. ”

"Hahaha, the old man has been called a god all his life, but he never gives people hexagrams easily, and he dares to say that it is nine out of ten for decades, and it has always been someone else who comes to beg me, even if it is Bai Gongzi's father, he treats me with courtesy, talking like you, it's really the first one, and now I can't get angry, I just want to laugh, hahaha...... It's rare that I'm happy today, old man, so I'll count you children for free, and I can be regarded as thanking the Murong family for treating me for many years. ”

"Mr. Jiang wants to see how miserable my fate is, and then be happy, right?"

"Hmph! The boy is smart. ”

"Then I'm going to count the three hangings. ”

“......”

"Could it be that with Mr.'s skills, he can't count a few hangings a day?"

"That kind of ambiguous, plausible hanging, I count a hundred a day and count it casually, this kind of very accurate hanging, do you think it can be calculated casually?"

"I didn't ask Mr. if the hexagram is accurate, I just asked Mr. if he doesn't have the ability to count a few times a day?"

"Hahaha! The old man will give you a few hangings today, so that you will completely despair of life!"

"Mr. Jiang, forgive me for taking the liberty of being presumptuous, my brother and you have no enmity in the past, why do you speak so badly to my brother?" I don't want to hear him talk about my brother's future in a dark way, and I'm even more afraid that what he says will eventually come true.

"This girl doesn't need to be counted to see that she has a good heart, but her fate is not good, mostly because you have been staying by that kid's side. Leaving early may change your fate. As for me, I don't really hate him, it's just that his life is not good, and he is prone to bring disaster to the people around him. I was originally calm here, and I didn't want to provoke such a calamity, but Bai Gongzi brought it, and I couldn't just blow it away......"

"Thank you, Mr. Jiang, no brother, I died when I was eleven years old. Every day I live now, my brother gave it to me. No matter what happens in the future, I will also be by my brother's side. But in any case, thank you Mr. Jiang for your kindness. ”
