The whole day passed quickly, seeing that the sunset on the horizon had fallen, not only Zhang Yurou did not leave Xiyun Courtyard for a day, but even Ding Li was like evaporating from the world, and even no one in the entire Zhang Mansion had ever seen Ding Li, but the room where Ding Li slept was empty, even the teapots, cups and beds on the table were extremely tidy, and a guest room was as if no one had lived in it at all.

Zhang Mingzhi was a little stunned, remembering what he said in Ding Li's room at dawn, and then thinking about the quarrel with his sister at noon, he secretly regretted it in his heart, but he didn't believe that Ding Li was a person who left without saying goodbye.

It was found that Ding Li was missing at lunchtime, since Yang Hongwen left in a hurry, Zhang Mingzhi and Zhang Wu were ready to eat, but the subordinates sent to find Ding Li reported in a panic that Ding Li was not in the guest room at all, Zhang Mingzhi was a little panicked at that time, but he still calmly ordered Zhang Wu to let the brothers who inquired about Wang Jie and others pay attention to Ding Li's whereabouts in the city.

In the blink of an eye, three hours have passed, and seeing that the city gate of Fuxu Town is about to be under martial law, unless there is a large caravan from a local trading house, it is impossible for the soldiers defending the city to let them go, but Zhang Mingzhi still did not get any news about Ding Li.

"Fuck! What's going on with this kid? It's almost dinner! If my sister asked, how would I answer? Zhang Mingzhi, who frowned, slammed the table next to him twice, full of remorse, although he didn't want to believe that Ding Li left like this, but he was faintly uneasy in his heart, because in his opinion, it was entirely possible for the unruly Ding Li to do this kind of thing.

Zhang Wu was also anxious, although he didn't get any news about Wang Jie and others until now, but Zhang Wu had already made arrangements, and as soon as the time came, he would sweep Xiaonanhai's painting boat, but now he had lost the assistance of Ding Li, a fierce general, which made Zhang Wu a little worried in his heart.

Just looking at Zhang Mingzhi's performance in the afternoon, and Zhang Yurou's non-appearance, Zhang Wu quickly linked all this with Ding Li's farewell, and became more and more sure that it must be related to Zhang Mingzhi's sister and brother, but Zhang Wu was not easy to ask, so he had to pray in his heart, praying that Ding Li did not really leave, but that there was something unexpected.

In the vicinity of Xiaonanhai in Fuxu Town, although it has not yet darkened, it is already brightly lit and overcrowded, and almost all the three religions and nine streams in society have gathered here, and everyone has begun to welcome the upcoming nightlife.

In the crowd, a middle-aged man dressed in gorgeous clothes and wrapped in a pale cyan stubble was wandering aimlessly, seemingly very interested in everything around him, picking and choosing from roadside stalls from time to time, and even taking out a few copper plates from time to time to buy some trivial things.

It's just that no one will notice that the middle-aged man's dark eyes are always as calm as a deep and bottomless ancient well. Even when bargaining with street vendors, the poise on his face has never changed, it seems extremely natural, but it seems to be a little absent-minded.

Under the bitter waiting of many people, the night finally fell, accompanied by the bright moonlight scattered in every corner of Xiaonanhai, the slogan of Xiaonanhai's four unique wine, meat and wealth was called again, and the middle-aged man seemed to suddenly have a goal, seemingly casually looked around, his eyes flashed, and he raised his feet and strode towards the destination in his heart.

Painting Boat Caiyun Pavilion, it seems that the business is extremely hot every night, the destination of the middle-aged man is here, but in the middle of the way, the middle-aged man carries a small pot of wine from nowhere, and the whole person is also like a half-drunk, walking a little swaying.

However, the appearance of the middle-aged man did not attract the attention of everyone around the Painting Boat Caiyun Pavilion, and even the eyes of some of the ship's escort thugs only swept over each other, after all, they saw such a person every night, not a thousand but eight hundred, and they didn't think so.

The middle-aged man only stopped slightly when he walked to the Caiyun Pavilion painting boat, glanced at it, and then pouted and continued to walk forward, as if he was very disdainful of Caiyun Pavilion's painting boat. Passing through the whole big boat, the middle-aged man's eyes suddenly flashed, and the steps under his feet became more and more messy, like a complete drunkard, and at the same time he raised his head and poured a large sip of wine, and swayed towards a man on the shore who seemed to be fishing with a hat.

For the appearance of the middle-aged man, the vigilance in the eyes of the hat man flashed, and after seeing an extremely unfamiliar face in the side, his face regained his indifference, and he stared at the fishing rod in front of him on the surface, but he always paid attention to the middle-aged man beside him, and he was also puzzled in his heart.

"Dude! It's so noisy, can there be fish? The middle-aged man seemed to casually raise his hand and pointed in front of him, and muttered drunkenly, accompanied by the words, his swaying body almost fell into Xiaonanhai.

"Those who wish to take the bait!" The hat-bearer just replied lightly, but the doubts in his eyes became thicker, but his face pretended to be calm and did not squint.

"Oh! Also! The middle-aged man nodded slightly, poured a sip of wine on his back again, paused for a moment, and his body suddenly shook next to the hat man, and a fine light burst out in the eyes of the whole person, and the drunkenness on his face suddenly dissipated, and he spit out a sentence in a cold voice: "Then, what about Hua Lao Wu?" But the fish? ”

"What?!" Hearing this, the whole body of the hat man was suddenly shocked, and infinite horror appeared in his eyes, and he suddenly realized that the drunkard next to him was not good, but as soon as he was about to get up, he felt a sharp pain in his side neck, and then the whole person lost consciousness and leaned softly on the middle-aged man's shoulder.

Everything that happened here was completely covered by the noise around him, and the middle-aged man naturally helped up the hat man who was leaning on his body, put one of the other party's arms on his shoulder, and at the same time pressed the opponent's hat down, then turned around and staggered and turned away, in the eyes of outsiders, these were just two drunkards who drank too much, and they couldn't attract any attention at all.

With a swaying footstep, the middle-aged man and the hat man left the shore together, and soon disappeared into the crowd. For a long time, in a dark alley, the middle-aged man threw the hat man on his shoulder to the wall, seemed to be a little thirsty, picked up the wine jug and drank two sips, and then poured the remaining wine on the head of the hat man.

"Say! Where is the kid who made trouble in the painting boat last night? The middle-aged man no longer had any disguise, and a cold short dagger in his hand was pointed directly at the throat of the hat, and the murderous intent in his eyes was not concealed at all.

"You, you are, the same guy last night? Follow the person of Second Master Zhang?! The hat man was not beaten, but a stirring in his brain, and when he heard the middle-aged man's question, he immediately understood.

"You're smart! That's right! It's me, Ding Li! Ding Li viciously pushed the short dagger in his hand forward, and warned the other party directly: "I hope you continue to be smart!" I don't want to ask a second time, but I can kindly remind you that killing someone is not difficult for me, but torturing a person will be easier! I have at least a hundred ways to make your life worse than death! I'm not going to give you much time, you think of an answer! ”

"I, I..." The hat man's eyes flickered, but when he saw Ding Li's eyes like beasts, he immediately shuddered, and no longer suspected that Ding Li was joking with himself, moved his body a few times, squirmed his lips slightly, and asked with a look of fear: "I said, you, can you let me go?" ”

"I can spare your life!" Ding Li was not ambiguous, and immediately nodded in agreement.

Hearing this, the hat man looked at Ding Li again, knowing that he would definitely die if he didn't say it, so he immediately turned his heart sideways and said in a deep voice: "The top floor of Caiyun Pavilion, two rooms in the southeast corner!" The people of Wang's firm are all there! I said, you promised to let me go! ”

"Don't worry! I, Ding Li, never break my word! Looking at the hat-fighting man's eyes full of fear, the corners of Ding Li's mouth hooked up a smile, then his eyes narrowed, and he added in a cold voice: "Remember, don't appear in Fuxu in the future, otherwise, you will die!" ”

After that, without waiting for the hat man to nod in response, Ding Li held the wrist of the short dagger and flipped it violently, and smashed the opponent's side head with a strong handle with his backhand, and the hat man rolled his eyes and fainted, and then Ding Li turned the opponent's body over uneasily, clenched his fist, and smashed a few times in several positions on the back of the neck and back, accompanied by a few crisp sounds of bones, Ding Li decisively got up and left quickly.

After there was no burden, Ding Li returned to the vicinity of Caiyun Pavilion after a short time, but this time, the pale cyan stubble on the side of his mouth had turned into a small poke of thick beard, and the originally clean cheeks had a little more stubble, and the whole person looked extremely vicissitudes, but it was extremely mature.

Makeup and disguise, for Ding Li can be called a pediatric, after reappearing in Caiyun Pavilion, no one noticed that Ding Li was the drunk who was full of disdain just now, and even the thugs on the ship only regarded Ding Li as a distinguished guest who came to have fun.

"This master, how many? How many floors do you go up? As soon as he entered the boat, he was greeted by a young man with a smile on his face.

"Don't you have a woman in this boat? How do you entertain a big man? Or are you guys here doing things like men? Looking at the flattery on the other party's face, Ding Li couldn't help but feel a chill, frowning and asking coldly, obviously picking faults.

"Joke, this master is really good at laughing!" The young man's face flashed unpleasantly, because he saw that Ding Li was holding several gold leaves in his hand, and immediately concluded that Ding Li in front of him was just the first time to come, so he hurriedly turned sideways, pointed to the wooden ladder behind him and explained with a smile: "Upstairs, there are many girls, I'm afraid this master won't be able to see it for a while!" ”

"Are you saying that Lao Tzu's eyes are not enough?" Ding Li suddenly had a cold face, glared at the young man, and when the other party showed a bitter look and didn't know how to answer, Ding Li suddenly raised his head and laughed a few times, slapped the other party on the shoulder, and walked towards the wooden ladder by himself, and at the same time threw a few gold leaves in his hand to the other party, and smiled without looking back: "You kid can really speak!" Lao Tzu wants to see today, how many women are not enough to see? The best room, the best wine and food, Lao Tzu is going to entertain distinguished guests today! ”

Looking at Ding Li, who was changing in an instant, the young man was also a little confused, and when his eyes lowered and saw the gold leaf in his hand, he immediately raised his head and shouted with a smile at Ding Li's back: "Master! Rest assured! Arrange it now! ”
