Chapter XVI: Killing in the Night II
"That's right. Ye Zixuan pondered for a moment and said, "Then you take me to Steward Lu, and I'll go and tell him, just let the two of you go and rest." ”
"Don't!", the two of them were full of fear when they heard this, and they knelt on the ground with a puff.
"If the young master and Steward Lu say it, after the young master leaves, the two of us will definitely be killed, please ask the young master to be merciful and don't drive us away. ”
"Kill you?", Ye Zixuan frowned when he heard this, he had never been in contact with the powerful family, so he naturally didn't know that the rules inside were so cruel.
"Arise, then, then go into the house, and it is better to have some coals in it than for the two of you to stand outside the house and suffer the cold. Ye Zixuan helped the two up and said.
The two little girls stood up when they heard this, glanced at each other, and their eyes were full of gratitude, they didn't expect Ye Zixuan to be so considerate of these little girls who were so hard, the two of them suddenly had red eyes, and a trace of tears flowed from the corners of the eyes of the younger little girl, and said with a smile:
"The young master is good, he will definitely be rich and noble in the future, and God will also bring blessings. ”
Ye Zixuan smiled and said, "Relying on heaven and earth, it is better to rely on yourself, you can go in." ”
"What about the young master?", the two said in unison.
"I'm a little stuffy, come out and breathe. Ye Zixuan waved his hand to the two and walked into the courtyard alone.
Uncle Lu knocked on the door, and then walked into Lu Hongyi's room.
"Master, there was a guard report just now, and that Ye Gongzi seems to have gone out. ”
Lu Hongyi picked up a cup of hot tea, sighed, took a sip slowly, and then said calmly:
"Let the people in the house keep their mouths shut for me, and if I hear anyone chewing my tongue, I will be dragged down and killed." ”
"Okay master, the old slave will order to go down, and I will retire first. Uncle Lu nodded, glanced at the beautiful woman on the bed, slowly exited the room, and closed the door by the way.
Lu Hongyi opened the window, and the cold wind howled outside, blowing away a trace of warmth in the house.
The hazy moonlit night, but there are faint dark clouds, which is even more desolate.
"The moon is dark and the wind is high, and it is the day of murder and arson. Lu Hongyi looked at the moon hanging in the sky, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Master, come on", the woman lying on the bed shouted delicately, her eyes full of spring/love.
"Hmph, Sao Fox, look at how the master treats you!"
In early spring, the night comes early, and the streets of Yicheng are full of people at this time, and every house is brightly lit.
The laughter of pedestrians on the road, the shouts of street vendors, the sound of cars and horses, and the coquettish voice of the girl in the Red Mansion constitute the unique night scene of Yicheng.
And Ye Zixuan was mixed behind the crowd, the so-called Buddha relied on gold, people relied on clothes, and after changing clothes, Ye Zixuan also became a fragrant bait.
Walking on the street, many big girls and little women pointed at it along the way, covered their mouths and smiled, some of the more daring ones also threw flattering eyes at them, and even pretended to drop handkerchiefs, sachets and other fragrant things.
Ye Zixuan sighed, the reason why he came out at night was because he didn't want to attract too much attention, but he didn't expect it to have the opposite effect, so that it looked extremely high-profile, causing some literati and chivalrous people to look at him angrily.
"I forgot, in a few days it will be the annual 'Flower Dynasty Festival', presumably these people also came out to step on it, but it's okay, there are many people to do things. ”
Ye Zixuan shook his head, ignoring those who stood in front of him, and specially chose a street with few people to walk.
He had already read the map of Yicheng before he came out, and he knew all the streets by heart, so he was not afraid of getting lost.
After a while, Ye Zixuan walked to a remote section, where there are pedestrians in twos and threes, and there are some taverns on the street, but this place is in the most remote place in the north of the city, and there are very few pedestrians, so there are not many customers in the tavern.
Ye Zixuan counted the storefronts, and when he counted to the seventeenth, it happened to be one of the taverns.
The tavern was a little old, and Ye Zixuan walked in and randomly chose a table where no one was sitting.
"Little Er, come to the pot with a good daughter Hong, and get some snacks for wine. ”
After Ye Zixuan sat down, he looked at the guests at the other three tables and shouted to the shopkeeper.
"Okay, would it be good to get some sauce beef for the guest officer?", the shopkeeper ran to Ye Zixuan's side and said with a smile.
Ye Zixuan nodded and said, "Well, let's get five catties first, it's not enough to call you." ”
"Oh oh, a pot of good daughter red, and five catties of sauce beef. The shopkeeper looked at Ye Zixuan with some surprise, doubting whether the rich boy with fine skin and tender meat in front of him could eat so much, but there were not many guests here, and he couldn't question the guest's decision, so he turned around and shouted to the kitchen.
After the shopkeeper left, Ye Zixuan took out a wooden card from his arms and put it in the corner of the table.
"This is the junction that Elder Li said, if there are still surviving disciples in Yicheng, they should come to contact me, but judging from the current situation, I am afraid that Yicheng's stronghold is already more than lucky. ”
Ye Zixuan sighed, there was a traitor in Tiangang Sect, so it is very likely that the mission information will also be wrong, saying that three disciples of Tiangang Sect have died, but judging from such unscrupulous actions of the White Horse Gang, it is very likely that the strongholds in Yicheng have been uprooted.
And now, Ye Zixuan is here to explore the truth, if there are Yicheng's disciples who are still alive, then they can get some information about the White Horse Gang, if they have been wiped out, then they have to act at the opportunity.
"Hopefully it's not as bad as I thought. ”
Ye Zixuan paid attention to the situation around him from time to time, since there had been a mole, it was very likely that this contact method had also been leaked, and he could not be careless.
"Guest, your wine and sauced beef, you eat well. ”
The shopkeeper quickly brought wine and hot dishes to the table.
"Hmm. Ye Zixuan nodded, poured himself a glass of wine, drank it slowly, and chewed it with a chopstick from time to time.
After waiting for a while, Ye Zixuan was a little disappointed, and the other three tables of drinkers were either really chatting, or they were immersed in drinking, drinking and enjoying themselves, and no one looked at him.
Ye Zixuan's heart sank slightly, and he suddenly lost the mood to continue drinking, and when he was about to get up to leave, a big man with thick eyebrows and big eyes sitting behind him took the lead in standing up and shouted:
"Little two checkout!"
"Okay, guest officer, you ordered three pots of pineapple old wine, counting those dishes, and you will be charged a total of one or two or three dollars of silver. The shopkeeper ran over with a smile and smiled.
"Well, don't look for it. ”
Dahan casually threw a silver ingot to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper's eyes lit up, and he checked the silver ingot with his hand, about five taels, with a smile on his face, and hurriedly bowed down and smiled: "Thank you for the reward, you are good to go." ”
Dahan nodded and walked out of the tavern slowly, without glancing at Ye Zixuan during the period.
It wasn't until more than ten minutes after Dahan left that Ye Zixuan stood up, put a silver ingot on the table, and hurriedly walked out of the tavern.
"Hey, guest officer, I'm still looking for your money. ”
Ye Zixuan waved his hand without looking back and smiled: "Don't look for it, I'll reward you." ”
"Thank you for the tip, you are good to go. ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly walked out of the tavern and shouted at Ye Zixuan, but after he went out, the street was empty, where was Ye Zixuan's figure
Ye Zixuan walked into an alley, quietly looked at the big man in front of him, and waited for the other party to reveal his identity.
"The door faces deep into the mountains. ”
"Unique. ”
After Ye Zixuan put on the unique joint code, the big man looked around, and after making sure that there was no one, he knelt down on one knee and said in a low voice:
"The villain Hong Chao meets the adults. ”
"What is the situation in Yicheng. Ye Zixuan asked lightly with an expressionless face.
"It's not safe here, so please step down. Hong Chao said after hesitating for a moment.
"Well, lead the way. ”
