Chapter 134: Encounter with the Dead
Xiao Ding's light skills have reached the peak, and there is no one in the world who he can't catch up.
"What about people, what about Xiaoyezi?" So when Tang Qingqing asked this, his tone was full of disbelief.
"I don't know." Xiao Ding's tone was a little stunned, but his eyes were staring ahead without blinking, and there was no expression on his face.
"Don't know?" Sikong Jieyue almost spit out a mouthful of old blood, jumped in front of Xiao Ding and yelled: "Lost people, are you embarrassed to think about drinking at this time?" ”
Well? Drink? Everyone followed Xiao Ding's gaze, and it turned out that the place that Xiao Ding had been staring at was the "Taibai Building".
Tang Qingqing was angry, and jumped in front of Xiao Ding and shouted, "Where is Hengbo? Could it be that he also went to Taibai Mansion to drink? “
After Tang Qingqing finished speaking, she suddenly felt that something was wrong, she knew in her heart that Zhou Ziheng would never secretly run to drink alone at such a time, you must know that Xiao Yezi was grown up by Zhou Ziheng, and they have long been in love with father and daughter.
Xiao Yezi disappeared suddenly, Xiao Ding and Zhou Ziheng should have gone separately to chase people, but this nerd, how could he stand stupidly at the door of this Taibai Building, Tang Qingqing muttered in her heart, she knew in her heart that Xiao Ding would not think of secretly going to Taibai Building to drink at such a time.
Xiao Ding's feelings for Ye Rongqiu in his heart, no one can understand it better than Tang Qingqing. So when she turned around and followed Xiao Ding's gaze, she saw a person, an acquaintance.
Lao Du, the shopkeeper of Luoyang Yipinju, of course this person Tang Qingqing has seen it, and Sikong Jieyue has naturally seen it.
How could Lao Du appear in Chang'an, and just at this time, he appeared in front of Xiao Ding and them.
"It's kind of interesting." Xiao Ding smiled suddenly, brushed aside Sikong Jieyue and Tang Qingqing with both hands, and slowly walked towards Taibai Building.
At that time, Lao Du was like an old man in his fifties and sixties, with a face of vicissitudes, bent waist, and a little bit of back, every time he poured a big sip of wine, he would always choke on snot and tears.
Lao Du in front of him looks only in his forties, his waist is very straight, his back is not bad, the whole person does not have the slightest vicissitudes of life, his eyes are like electricity, looking out of the window.
This is the second floor of Taibai Building, and you can just see Xiao Ding and the others just walked from the window.
"Are you sure this is Lao Du?" Sikong Jieyue stared at Lao Du's face and asked.
He didn't ask Xiao Ding, nor Tang Qingqing, it seemed that he was asking himself.
Sikong Jieyue was originally a master of disguise, but he never thought that the same face, without any modification, would have such a change.
"Of course I'm sure he's Lao Du! Lao Du who is like a fake! Xiao Ding said lightly, but a strange feeling surged in his heart, when Xiao Yezi suddenly transformed into a daughter outside Luoyang City, she seemed to have something in common with Lao Du.
Ye Rongqiu used the same face to change into a man's body, and she couldn't even hear any flaws in her voice, but she just wanted to walk the rivers and lakes conveniently, not to hide people's eyes.
Lao Du also used the same face, incarnated as an old man, and there was no flaw in his expression, but it was obvious that he was trying to hide his identity.
The back can be pretended, but the look on his face can't be pretended, Sikong Jieyue can't figure it out, why Lao Du can completely become another person just by changing the spirit on his face, anyway, if he meets Lao Du in front of him on the street, he won't believe that this is the old Du who bent over his back in Luoyang Yipinju.
"I can also be sure that I am Lao Du, Lao Du who is fake!" Lao Du turned his head, looked at everyone and smiled.
Lao Du was wearing a green cloth robe and had a lovely smile.
Tang Qingqing sighed: "I really can't see which one is the real you?" “
Lao Du smiled and did not answer this question.
Xiao Ding slowly sat down opposite Lao Du, slowly picked up the wine that Lao Du had poured for him, drank it all, and then asked slowly, "Is Eighth Master Hu okay?" “
He didn't ask why Lao Du appeared here, but asked about Eighth Master Hu, as if he already knew the purpose of Lao Du's coming to Chang'an.
"He's fine." Lao Du also slowly took Xiao Ding's full wine and drank it all, and said with a faint smile: "At least he doesn't have to be afraid of you coming to the door anymore." “
Although Eighth Master Hu has a strong foundation of power in Luoyang, but since the battle of Shaolin, his mission has failed, and his identity has been exposed, and decent martial arts people will naturally encircle and suppress its remnants at all costs.
"Only the dead do not have fear!" Xiao Ding smiled faintly.
Tang Qingqing said movingly: "You mean, Eighth Master Hu is dead?" “
Xiao Ding and Lao Du glanced at each other, smiled but did not answer.
Tang Qingqing was so angry that she was pacing back and forth with her cheeks puffed, and she couldn't wait to lift Xiao Ding's shirt and pull him up from the chair, and then pinch his neck to ask him clearly.
Sikong Jieyue tilted his head, looked at Lao Du, and kept thinking about something in his heart.
Eighth Master Hu is a smart person, so he naturally knows that Shaolin Temple and other gangs will come to him, but he has not left Luoyang for a long time, and it seems that he is not afraid of martial arts people from all factions in his heart.
Xu Bing, who had never spoken, suddenly said coldly: "I heard that the Qinglong will punish those who fail the mission quite severely, and those who flee without completing the mission will end up miserable." ”
Could it be that Eighth Master Hu didn't dare to escape?
"You mean to say that Eighth Master Hu was killed by the people of the Blue Dragon Society?" Tang Qingqing asked coldly.
Xu Bing glanced at Tang Qingqing and said with a smile: "I didn't say that, I just happened to hear that the Qinglong Society is very strict with the rules of its subordinates." ”
Sikong picked the moon with his arms on his chest, he stared at Lao Du, and sneered: "Hu Ba is definitely an old fox, if he wants to hide, I'm afraid that the people of the Blue Dragon Society may not be able to find him, and the reason why he didn't run away may be because the people of the Green Dragon Society promised him what conditions." ”
Sikong Jieyue looked at Lao Du as he spoke, as if he hoped to see some answer in Lao Du's expression, but unfortunately Lao Du didn't even look at him.
Tang Qingqing took over and asked, "For example, what kind of conditions?" ”
"Eighth Master Hu failed in his mission, according to the consistent style of the Blue Dragon Society, he was already mortal, and he only had two ways to go, one was to flee, and the other was to wait for death." Sikong Jieyue replied lightly.
Tang Qingqing suddenly noticed an interesting thing, the way this thin monkey spoke more and more like Xiao Ding, especially when analyzing something.
Could it be that everyone who is with Xiaoding will be infected by him? Thinking of this, she peeked at Xiao Ding, but Xiao Ding poured a bowl of wine again, took a shallow sip, and took another sip, as if he was not listening to the conversation between her and Sikong Jieyue at all.
Little bastard, Tang Qingqing scolded fiercely in his heart.
Sikong Jieyue walked to Lao Du's side and said with a smile: "Everyone knows that Eighth Master Hu will stay in Luoyang and will contain a lot of manpower from the Shaolin and martial arts factions, which is naturally beneficial and harmless for the Blue Dragon Society, right?" ”
Lao Du looked up at Sikong Picking the Moon and said with a smile: "It seems to be the truth." ”
Tang Qingqing said suddenly: "Eighth Master Hu has the opportunity to atone for his sins, so he will naturally serve the Blue Dragon Society even harder, so he hasn't left, so the Green Dragon Society will naturally not do anything to him, right?" ”
There was no one to answer her question, and everyone seemed to acquiesce to this view.
Xiao Ding suddenly laughed: "Eighth Master Hu never imagined that he would die at the hands of an old man who seemed to be powerless." ”
Sikong Jieyue sneered: "He didn't expect that this person was actually a subordinate who had followed him for many years, a restaurant shopkeeper who seemed to be no threat." ”
Lao Du also smiled: "Over the years, the eighth master has always regarded me as a dear brother and friend in his heart. ”
Lao Du's tone was also full of ridicule, but I don't know who he was laughing at?
Tang Qingqing sneered: "He treats you as a friend and brother, but you betrayed him when he needed help the most!" How can there be a ruthless person like you in this world? ”
Lao Du turned his head to look out the window, smiled indifferently, and said indifferently: "It was originally my original purpose to let Eighth Master Hu regard me as a brother and friend, otherwise how could I hide by his side for so many years." ”
Hearing this, everyone was discolored.
In the vicinity of a dangerous person like Eighth Master Hu, deliberately hiding his identity for one or two decades without revealing it, this determination to forbear, how can ordinary people do the difficulties during this period.
What kind of power can make Lao Du make such a huge sacrifice, is it because of hatred?
Tang Qingqing couldn't help but shudder, and asked in a trembling voice, "Could it be that for so many years, you haven't had a chance to kill him?" ”
Lao Du smiled and didn't answer, but there was an extremely frightened look in his eyes, and he disappeared in a flash.
"Because the original Eighth Master Hu is only useful when he is alive, and the current Eighth Master Hu is only useful when he is dead." Xiao Ding finally drank the wine in the bowl and slowly exhaled.
