Chang'an to Luoyang is only a few hundred miles, with the speed of "cloud car", it can be reached in three days.

Revisiting the old place, Xu Bing is nothing, but Xiao Ding, Tang Qingqing, and Sikong Jieyue are very emotional.

In the past, the incomparably glorious Yipinju is now empty.

At the gate of the city, it became a place for children to play, and there were two or three people who sat by the gate basking in the sun and catching lice.

Xiao Ding Jing came to Lao Du's room, where he had drunk before.

Then he met Lao Du.

An old Du who can never drink again.

Because he had an extra hole in his throat.

Lao Du didn't seem to even struggle, but there was a stiff mockery on his face.

Xiao Ding looked at Lao Du's stiff face, and suddenly there was a hint of mockery on his face.

Sikong Jieyue had already seen the wound on Lao Du's throat, "In Chang'an, you have guessed that Lao Du will encounter an accident, now can you see who the murderer is?" ”

Xiao Ding shook his head, turned around and came downstairs, and called the few people named Hanako who were basking in the sun.

"Go find your leader and say that a man named Xiaoding is looking for him."

Those few called Hanako saw that Xiaoding and the others were extraordinary, so they didn't dare to slack off, so they answered and walked away.

After a while, several people led a thirty or forty-year-old beggar disciple to Xiao Ding.

As soon as the man saw Xiao Ding, he bowed his hand from a distance, "It turned out to be Ding Xiaoxia, I don't know what the young man commanded?" ”

"You know me? That's easy to do. ”

Xiao Ding took out a piece of silver and put it in the man's hand, and said a few words like this.

"Ding Shaoxia can rest assured, since he is your friend, then he is a friend of our beggar gang, I will definitely find a good coffin for him, find a piece of feng shui treasure, and bury him."

"Okay, thanks."

……

After days of traveling, everyone was tired.

This time back in Chang'an, Tang Qingqing and Xu Bing couldn't sit still anymore, the two hurriedly washed, ate something casually, and fell asleep.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Sikong Jieyue also went to sleep in the room.

The lights are on.

Xiao Ding didn't feel sleepy.

He brought two jugs of wine to Zhou Ziheng's room.

Zhou Ziheng asked in surprise: "They are all sleeping, but you are looking for someone to drink, is there something in your heart that you can't figure out?" ”

Xiao Ding smiled, "I slept in the car for a while during the day, but I couldn't sleep at this time, thinking that it was too early anyway, you shouldn't have slept yet, so I came to you for a drink and chatted a few words by the way." ”

After the second round of drinking.

Xiao Ding suddenly smiled and said, "Don't you always ask me what I want to talk about?" ”

Zhou Ziheng put down the wine bowl, "You kid are chatting around, don't you just want to ask about Xiao Yezi's situation?" ”

Xiao Ding poured him full of wine and said with a smile: "Yes, if there is only one person in this world who knows where Xiao Yezi goes, then this person must be your uncle." ”

"Why do you think I'll know about her?"

"Because although you are also involved in the busy search for Xiao Yezi these days, you are too calm, others don't know, but I know it, if Xiao Yezi is really missing, you will not be so calm."

"You can't guess it, I promised others that I wouldn't reveal her whereabouts to anyone."

Xiao Ding sighed: "It's okay, I don't have to know, as long as I can be sure that she is safe." ”

"You don't have to worry about this, she was safe before, and now she is safer, I promise that no one in this world can touch a single hair of her."

"That's good, come, drink, warm wine."

……

Xiao Ding lay on the bed, sorting out his thoughts.

He had an intuition in his heart that all this, seemingly chaotic clues, always seemed to have a head.

Find that thread, no matter how messy the relationship is, it will be solved, and the truth will surface.

But what will be that key thread?

The Blue Dragon Club is just a shell of the Money Gang, and the Dragon Gate and the Money Gang are secretly fighting, but Xiao Ding's own side is always in the light.

Where is the breakthrough?

The next day, it's time for breakfast.

Xiao Ding suddenly said, "I'm going to join the Dragon Capture Gate, Uncle Heng, you can help contact the drunken Taoist." ”

Sikong Jieyue almost sprayed a mouthful of soy milk on his face, "Is there something wrong with you?" ”

Not only him, but even Tang Qingqing and the others looked at Xiao Ding in surprise, they all knew that Xiao Ding would not join any gang, how could he suddenly become a different person?

Zhou Ziheng didn't ask much, just nodded.

After he left, Xiao Ding said to the remaining three: "You have something to do in the past few days. ”

"What's the matter?"

Xiao Ding said to Tang Qingqing and Xu Bing: "You go to the major money banks every day to exchange a large amount of silver, you can only go to one person, and then change to a money bank, and another person will deposit the silver, exchange the silver for silver tickets, and so on." ”

He turned his head to Sikong Jieyue and said, "You are easy to mix in the crowd, pay attention to the situation of the major money banks. ”

The three of them understood, but they didn't know what Xiao Ding's intention was.

Looking at the confused eyes of the three of them, Xiao Ding smiled, "The Money Gang is inseparable from money, if its helm is in Chang'an, it should be in one of the money houses." ”

"What about you, where are you going?" Tang Qingqing asked, she knew that Xiao Ding had arranged it like this, and he must have more important things to do.

Xiao Ding suddenly smiled mysteriously: "I'm going to be missing for a few days." ”

"Missing?"

"All along, we have been led by the nose by others, passive everywhere, because we are in the light, the enemy is in the dark, and now we are doing the opposite, using their methods to deal with them."

Sikong picked the moon and laughed, and said: "Okay, this method is good, with the way of others, but also the body of others." ”

……

The outskirts of Chang'an.

The drunken Taoist and Xiao Ding stood opposite each other.

The setting sun stretched the shadows of the two men very long.

The drunken Taoist said: "Ding Shaoxia is really willing to join the Dragon Capture Gate? ”

Xiao Ding turned around, looked at the distant mountains, and said lightly: "If you want to deal with the Money Gang, it is a good choice to join the Dragon Capture Gate, but I have one condition." ”

"What are the conditions, you just ask." The voice of the drunken Taoist was slightly excited, if he could pull a person like Xiao Ding into the Dragon Gate, what else could they not do in this world?

Xiao Ding didn't look back, and said word by word: "I want to meet your master in person." ”

Silent.

After a while, the drunken Dao said slowly: "I will tell the door master of your request, and I will reply to you in Taibai Building at noon tomorrow." ”

He didn't ask Xiao Ding why he was sure that he was not the master of the Dragon Gate, a person like Xiao Ding, since he said this kind of thing, he must have his reason, and if he asked more, he seemed to have no pattern.

"Okay, thank you."

The drunken Taoist turned to leave, and Xiao Ding looked at the place where he left, stunned.

He suddenly had a terrible thought in his heart.

With the martial arts of the drunken Daoist, and the degree to which he and Liu Yunfei and Xuanyuan are not only familiar with each other, wouldn't it be easy to assassinate the two of them under the sword when the two of them were defenseless?
