Raising his hand to remove a layer of snow on the ground, Gu Xiao found the wheel mark of the carriage. Carefully studying the wheel marks of the carriage and looking up at the air, Gu Xiao silently calculated the depth of the falling snow and the degree of snow on the ground in his heart, roughly deduced it, and then got up.

Lin'er on the side looked at Gu Xiao's determined eyes, knowing that Gu Xiao must have discovered something, so he asked, "What did you find?" ”

"I calculated roughly the time from the thickness of the snow covered with the imprints on the wheels of the carriage on the ground, and remembered the carriage that transported vegetables when we left Yuelai Building. The time is right with the snow, but I still need to make sure. Gu Xiao already had a judgment in his heart, but he still needed to corroborate it.

With a decision in his heart, Gu Xiao said to Lin'er: "I'm afraid we have to go to Yuelai Tower again." ”

"Okay." Lin'er spoke without thinking.

"When I was in Yuelai Building, I had a few words with Brother Xue, aren't you curious what I said?" Gu Xiao thought of Xue Hu, and the matter of asking him for help should have had a result.

remembered that there was still an inexplicable anger outside Lin'er Alley, so I wanted Lin'er to talk more.

Lin Er Shi only thought about helping Gu Xiao find Uncle Li's whereabouts, and at this moment, when she heard Gu Xiao talk about other things, she thought of the things outside the alley, and she didn't know what was wrong with her, and when she saw Gu Xiao's slightly innocent eyes, she became angry.

So he said angrily: "If you want to say, you will naturally tell me." I don't want to say, I can't beat you, what can I do with you? ”

Gu Xiao saw that Lin'er had become the same as outside the alley again, so he could only sneer and say: "I fought with Brother Xue outside the city, and I knew that Brother Xue knew how to track him, so I got rid of Brother Xue and went to the inn to check if Uncle Li had returned to the inn, and secondly, I asked Brother Xue to check whether Na Yuelai Lou had changed owners." ”

Lin'er heard Gu Xiao mention the tracking technique, and a worried look flashed on her face.

Although Gu Xiao was annoyed that he didn't understand his own thoughts, he also knew that the most important thing at the moment was Uncle Li's whereabouts, so he no longer was angry and said: "Xue Hu's tracking technique only knows a little fur, but I am afraid that all the pedestrians in this Liangzhou City are different, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to have results." At the moment, let's go to the Yuelai Building you said first, and then it's not too late to meet Xue Hu. ”

Gu Xiao nodded and said, "What you said is very true, let's leave now." ”

The man who was watching at the entrance of the alley saw the man and woman coming out of the alley, walking quickly towards the direction of Yuelai Building, and after a little thought, the person who was watching hurriedly walked towards Yuelailou to report the news.

In a secluded room in the back hall of Yuelai Building, Su Mei brought Qi Tianya to the bookcase in the room, and Su Mei stretched out her hand, groped on the bookcase for a while, and after touching a bulge, her fingertips pressed hard.

I only heard the 'click' on the ground under the bookcase, revealing a secret door, and there were layers of downward stairs under the secret door, and then Su Mei looked at Qi Tianya's affirmative eyes, and picked up an oil lamp from the bookcase. lifted his robe and slowly walked into the secret door, and Qi Tianya immediately followed Su Mei into the secret door on the ground.

After the figures of the two disappeared into the darkness on the ground, there was another 'click', the secret door closed, and there was no more two figures in this room.

Under the stairs of this secret door is a low corridor, and the two of them walked in the corridor for a while, and Su Mei saw a dark room appear in front of them.

Push open the door of the darkroom, the darkroom is not large, made of cyan wall bricks in the ground, leaving only a small vent.

I saw a scar-faced man lying quietly on the bed. Walking in and taking a look, the scar-faced man was looking at himself with angry eyes, and Su Mei knew that this person was the Jianghu wanderer that the senior brother said. Seeing that he didn't move, just staring at himself and the end of the world, he knew that he was sealed with dumb acupoints and all body acupoints.

Su Mei changed into a charming look in front of people, covered her mouth and pretended to be surprised, turned back to Qi Tianya and said, "Is that him?" ”

Qi Tianya was very cooperative with Su Mei's performance, and nodded: "Yes." ”

Su Mei saw that her senior brother made a look, and then understood what he meant, and she wanted to 'sing red-faced' again. Then he pretended to be distressed, came to Lao Li's side, and said: "Scarface, I see that you have been sealed for a long time, and I want you to untie your dumb hole, I want you to be slow, don't shout, if you agree, blink." ”

Seeing the scar-faced man's eyes blinking, he covered his mouth and chuckled, and his onional fingers rushed out of his sleeve, and he connected points between Lao Li's throats to unlock the acupoints for Lao Li.

I thought it was an insult, but the scar-faced man who unlocked the acupoint was unusually calm, only to hear him say lightly: "You don't want my life, and I don't have anything of value on me, what do you want." ”

At this moment, Su Mei was really a little surprised, and couldn't help but admire the vision of Qi Tianya, this man is really a talent worthy of being included in the senior brother's command. Calm and calm, there is indeed something outstanding.

Seeing that Qi Tianya came to the bedside, Su Mei retreated and said softly: "You talk, I'll go prepare some food and drink, see that this big brother should also be hungry." After saying that, Su Mei closed the door and left.

"This eldest brother, surnamed Qi, is named Tianya, and he is also a Jianghu guest like Brother Tai. This time, it is really helpless to invite Brother Tai here, and I ask for your forgiveness. After Qi Tianya finished speaking, he hugged his fists and saluted Lao Li.

Although Lao Li couldn't move, the hawker reported his name before meeting him, and he saluted himself. Remembering that it was his own curiosity that spied on other people's secrets, the fire in his chest suddenly disappeared, and he sighed: "This brother, you don't have to be polite, I can't get up, so I won't return the courtesy." In the alley of Liangzhou today, it was I who was rude first, I saw you acting secretively, and I was curious, so I followed all the way. ”

After a pause, Lao Li continued: "When I first saw you, I thought you were thieves who robbed houses, so I thought about doing it for the heavens. ”

Qi Tianya smiled: "Then why doesn't Brother Tai kill him?" ”

Lao Li said helplessly: "Without evidence, how can you kill people at will." And before I could open my mouth, you discovered me, and you brought me here. But along the way, I also figured out that if you are a thief who does evil, I am afraid that I am already in a different place by now. ”

Qi Tianya stroked his palms and smiled: "Brother Tai Mingjian, although our brothers are all armed with martial arts, they are all people who keep to themselves. ”

"Then why did you bring me here?" Lao Li was a little confused by the sudden politeness of this 'peddler' ruler Tianya, and couldn't help asking.

"It's a shame to say that our group was originally a small sect in the rivers and lakes. Later, after the accident, we fell into the rivers and lakes, but we people do not want to fall into the grass, we just want to live for the people with peace of mind and do some ordinary livelihood with our own hands. Qi Tianya sighed and continued.

"There was a senior brother in my sect. Recently, my senior brother found us, brought a sect seal letter, and ordered me to wait to go to Lingzhou, although I don't know what he is going to do yet. But as far as I know, my senior brother has long been reduced to the scum of the rivers and lakes. Therefore, it is not a good thing to summon us here this time. Qi Tianya frowned and said.

Lao Li had been wandering in the rivers and lakes for many years in his early years, and he had gone around a long circle, so he understood the meaning of his words, and said, "Do you want me to help you?" ”

Qi Tianya said sincerely: "If Brother Tai is willing to join us, I will protect Brother Tai from wandering the rivers and lakes in the future..."

Lao Li fell into a dilemma for a while, it was impossible for him to join the group of rulers in the world, but if he didn't agree, he would be locked up in this dark room for a few days, and the young master probably found out that he was missing at this moment, and he was afraid that he was looking for himself all over the city.

——

Qi Tianya and Lao Li were talking in the dark room, Gu Xiao and Lin'er had already rushed to Yuelai Building, and were about to enter, when a rough voice stopped the two.

"Master, little brother Gu." The voice came from Xue Hu.

Xue Hu saw that the two of them were about to enter Yuelai Building, and hurriedly pulled the two aside, the big head looked around, and saw that no one noticed a few people, and said: "Little Brother Gu, there is no Lao Li in the inn, and the innkeeper also said that Lao Li has never returned." Another thing you asked me to inquire about, as you said, this Yuelai Lou changed the owner a few days ago, saying that a beautiful woman bought this Yuelai Lou and gave it a full eight thousand taels. ”

"Eight thousand taels? I'm afraid it's far higher than the price of the wine market, right? Gu Xiao and Lin'er looked at each other.

"Yes, I also wondered, even if this restaurant is a good business, buying a restaurant with 8,000 taels is really generous." Xue Hu shook his head, unable to understand.

"In that case, let's go have another meal." Gu Xiaoxing's eyes narrowed slightly, and he made up his mind.

Lin'er also knew that this matter was too strange, and she was ready to visit the Moon Tower with Gu Xiao again, and the happiest of the three people and one mink was Xue Hu and Lin'er's snow in their arms, and they could have a big meal.

Gu Xiao and his entourage stepped into this Yuelai Building again, and Xiao Er was still skilled in stepping forward to greet the guests. Seeing Gu Xiao and the others, Xiao Er's face flashed with alertness, and then put on that familiar flattering smile, this Xiao Er smiled and said, "Guest officer, why did you go and come back again." The villain remembers, how many people have only eaten for a short time? ”

Before Gu Xiaolin'er could speak, Xue Hu's rough voice shouted first: "What's the matter, haven't we paid yet, don't you have a business?" ”

Gu Xiao saw Xiao Er's expression in his eyes, and when Lin'er saw Gu Xiao's expression, she raised her hand and signaled Xue Hu to retreat.

"We are in a hurry, and now we have taken care of it, my eldest brother has a lot of food and has not eaten enough. And your food is very appetizing to my eldest brother, so come back again. Gu Xiao's cheeks were slightly drunk, and he said with a smile.

Xiao Er's eyes rolled, and then he responded: "That's, that's, the guest officer is please, but this lobby is full, the guest officer is still in the private room on the second floor, please!" ”

Gu Xiao and Lin'er glanced at each other, and then said, "It's okay, the front is leading the way." ”

Seeing this, Xiao Er hurriedly led Gu Xiao and his party to the second floor. Just when Gu Xiaoxiang and the others went to the second floor, the person who was watching had already followed into Yuelai Building. Seeing Gu Xiao and the others sitting on the second floor, when Xiao Er went downstairs to serve food, the person who was watching him pretended to cough, which attracted Xiao Er's attention.

When Xiao Er saw this person, his face changed slightly, and then he nodded slightly to the person who was watching, grabbed the little guy who was serving the food on the side, gave a low command, and walked straight to the back hall.

Seeing this, the watchman pretended to get up and walked towards the back hall. And the actions of these two people were all clearly seen by Gu Xiao and Lin'er on the second floor.

I saw Lin'er whispering a few words in Gu Xiao's ear. Gu Xiao went downstairs in some surprise.

"Are you sure this man has been with us since the blacksmith's day?" Gu Xiao asked Lin'er in a low voice.

Lin'er's apricot eyes showed a look of pride, and her cherry lips opened lightly: "Of course, didn't I say it, Xue Hu's tracking technique has only learned the surface, and my tracking technique is much more powerful than him." ”

The dishes were not served, there were only some dim sum on the table, Xue Hu and Taxue were eating dim sum, and after listening to Lin'er's words, Xue Hu, who was stuffed with pastries in his mouth, came up and said: "I testify that the master's tracking skills are indeed much better than mine." ”

"Did you see the eyes of those two people?" Gu Xiao asked.

Lin'er said: "I saw it, the person who followed us was looking at the little second envoy, and they had known each other for a long time." ”

"Yes, I'm relieved to see them so cautious now." Gu Xiao whispered to Lin'er.

Lin'er said: "Yes, the more cautious you are, it means that there is a problem with this Yuelai Building and the blacksmith shop." ”

"I see that Xiao Er and the person you are talking about went to the back hall together. I thought, in a moment, the people behind them will come out. Gu Xiao stretched his waist, leaned back comfortably on the chair, and quietly waited for the person behind the curtain to appear.
