Volume 2: The Red Lotus Case of the Ancient Temple Chapter 50: Returning to the Temple
It was soon dark, and when the bright moon hung in the night sky, Duan Ming finally returned to the Fanxing Temple.
There was no danger along the way, and perhaps even the gang of thieves didn't expect that Duan Ming would have the courage to return to Fanxing Temple.
"Thank you for the escort!" Duan Ming hugged his fists at several soldiers: "It's getting late now, you guys can rest here for the night, there are still many rooms in the room." ”
"Nope." A young soldier shook his head and looked at the Fanxing Temple in the night: "We still have to go back to report to the general, and we don't dare to delay in the slightest." ”
"Okay then." Duan Ming nodded, turned over and dismounted, and handed the reins in his hand to the young soldier: "Then I won't send it, you guys be careful on the way back." ”
"Okay." The young soldier nodded and waved his hand.
A few soldiers drove their horses into the distance.
Seeing a few young soldiers leave here, Duan Ming took a deep breath, looked at the mountain gate hidden in the night, and walked up step by step.
Soon, Duan Ming had already come to the gate and knocked lightly on the mountain gate.
Soon, a Spiegel official opened the door, and when he saw that it was Duan Ming outside the door, he was stunned at first, and then hurriedly welcomed him in.
Not far away, several soldiers hidden in the woods saw this scene, and only then did they pull the reins and really leave.
Being able to be welcomed in by the people of the Spiegel Division proves that what Duan Ming said before is true, he is indeed a person from the Spiegel Division.
That way, they can go back and turn in.
On the other hand, Duan Ming walked into the Fanxing Temple, but did not go straight to the north courtyard where the Spiegel Division lived, but after looking around and seeing that there was no one, he took the Spiegel Spiegel official to a secluded corner.
"I don't know what this official is called?" Duan Ming asked in a deep voice.
"His subordinate Lin Yixuan can't afford to be Mr. Duan's official title." Lin Yixuan hurriedly clenched his fists and said.
"Brother Lin, I know." Duan Ming patted Lin Yixuan's shoulder: "Don't tell anyone about my return this time, even if it's an old criminal, you can't say it, understand?" ”
"Huh? This...... If this is known to the criminal commander......" Lin Yixuan's face suddenly showed a look of embarrassment.
"Don't worry, I've got you covered." Duan Ming said: "Even if the old torture knows, he won't blame you." ”
"This ...... All right! Lin Yixuan gritted his teeth: "The subordinates obey the order." ”
"Brother Lin doesn't belong to subordinates, I'm not your chief." Duan Ming smiled and shook his head: "By the way, after I left, what happened here?" ”
"Returning to Mr. Duan." Lin Yixuan said: "After you left, the criminal commander first thoroughly investigated everyone in the Spiegel Division, and then ordered us to secretly seal off the entire temple and search for clues. ”
"Well, and then what?" Duan Ming asked.
"And then it's gone." Lin Yixuan recalled for a moment and said.
"Okay, go back to your post, remember, don't tell anyone I'm back!" Duan Ming thought for a moment and said.
"Yes!" Lin Yixuan nodded, and then left.
Duan Ming stood in place and pondered for a moment, looked at no one on the left and right, and then quietly rushed towards the direction of the East Courtyard.
Soon, Duan Ming came to the vicinity of the East Courtyard, but Duan Ming didn't get too close.
After all, even the Pearl County Lord Li Wan'er has a master like Mr. Meng by his side, how can there be no master by the side of this Immortal Sect's Forgotten Machine Hall Master?
Approaching rashly has no effect except to startle the snake.
As the minutes and seconds passed, the entire eastern courtyard was like a ghost courtyard, and no sound came out.
However, Duan Ming's patience was very high, he hid in the shadows and did not move, just waiting quietly.
Finally, the hard work paid off, and at about three o'clock, a figure quietly approached the eastern courtyard.
The figure moved very carefully, wearing a black cloak and a pair of monk boots on his feet, and his eyes were extremely vigilant to observe the surroundings.
Duan Ming's eyes narrowed slightly, and sure enough, he was waiting.
The reason why he didn't let Lin Yixuan tell others that he was back was for this moment.
On the way back, Duan Ming had been thinking about it, in fact, in this game, they were ahead of each other in every step, and they could occupy a slight advantage every time.
However, the other party's remedy is too fast and the remedy is too ruthless.
Whenever they find the slightest clue, the other party would rather kill someone than cut off the clue completely.
But after all, the Immortal Sect is a latecomer, and it is necessary to always be vigilant against the Spiegel Division here, so it is difficult to make any big moves.
Since this is the case, then there must be an internal response in the temple.
And today, as soon as he left on the front foot, the other party sent someone to chase and ambush, proving that he should be more important in the other party's heart.
Then when you leave, the situation here will change subtly, and all subsequent plans will have to be adjusted.
In other words, it is very likely that the other party will meet in the near future to discuss how to deal with Spiegel next.
And this time can't be delayed for too long, after all, Xing Qianqiu is not so easy to deal with.
Coupled with the "thorough investigation" that Lin Yixuan said before, the current Spiegel Division does not have much energy to pay attention to here.
Therefore, tonight is the time when they are most likely to meet.
And now that it has opened, Duan Ming guessed correctly.
However, the night was dim, and he couldn't tell the other party's true identity, but it was enough.
According to the shape of the other party, it can directly expel obese monks and small monks of short stature.
In this way, the range of doubts is much less.
Now, just to see if we can find more clues.
The figure quickly walked to the door of the east courtyard, looked left and right, and then gently pushed open the door of the east courtyard and walked in.
Duan Ming didn't show his figure, just stayed in the dark and waited quietly.
Soon, the figure walked out of the east courtyard and quickly left along the path.
Duan Ming pondered slightly, then looked at the gate of the East Courtyard, and then quietly followed behind the figure.
The speed of the figure is not fast, it can even be said to be a little slow, but the other party seems to be very familiar with everything in this temple, and can always avoid those patrols.
Duan Mingyuan was not familiar with the situation here, and he was distanced a little bit.
Soon the figure returned to the west courtyard.
Duan Ming pondered slightly, and was hesitating whether to enter the West Courtyard to continue the investigation, when he suddenly heard a small scream.
It seems to be the scream of someone covering their mouths.
Suddenly, Duan Ming no longer hesitated and walked over quickly.
Quietly jumping over the wall into the west courtyard, Duan Ming hid behind a big tree and looked out, but he didn't see anything.
Duan Ming's brows furrowed slightly, he believed that he had definitely heard that voice.
Just as Duan Ming was hesitating whether to walk out, a figure suddenly stood up from the bushes not far away......
