Thanks to Li Bai's spending of money, the two successfully became the distinguished guests of Yunjian Building, and even entered the most exclusive private room.

And Li Bai exerted his stupid and money-rich temperament to the extreme, and he didn't even look at the list sent by the waiter, and came all over again.

Then he excused himself not to bother, and asked people to close the door and not disturb the idlers.

The dishes of flowing water were suddenly sent in a steady stream, there were countless wines and delicacies, and the light singing and dancing downstairs continued, the sound of silk and bamboo was endless, and even behind the bead curtain at the other end of the room, there was a hazy silhouette of the singer singing softly.

It's a pity that today's distinguished customers don't seem to buy it.

Li Bai didn't touch the wine that was served, and just shook his hand and splashed it. The singer who stroked the qin and the singer who danced were too lazy to take a look.

The dishes changed round after round, and Xun Qing, who was standing next to him, felt distressed again and again.

Although he usually doesn't show much rebellious appearance, but now when he puts on a straight face, he has a lonely and cold spirit, even if he is deliberately making things difficult and finding faults, it makes people feel so logical.

"It's just such a thing, and it is also said to be the most powerful place in Chang'an?"

Li Bai reprimanded indifferently: "It's all ordinary goods, is this how you Yunjian Lou treats guests?" You, you, and you, get away and don't disturb my drinking Yaxing! ”

After brutally driving away all the subordinates who were serving on the side, only an old man who performed shadow puppets for the distinguished guests was left.

Then, as if he really treated Xun Qing as a slave, he was ordered to do this and that, pour wine and tea. Although there was some anger in his heart, Xun Qing's face was not obvious, like a loyal subordinate, even if he was angry and insulted, he did not change any color.

And Li Bai, as if he was a real stubborn second ancestor, looked at the shadow puppet show in Chang'an and laughed heartily.

"It's not appropriate, it's not appropriate here!"

Li Bai suddenly interrupted the old man's performance, and asked with a drunken red face: "Why is that law to block the marriage between Xu Shusheng and the White Snake?" ”

Behind the scenes, the old man was stunned for a moment, and bowed his head respectfully and replied: "This, shemales are different kinds, and the monks are naturally ......."

Li Bai suddenly clapped his hands, and his smile became weird: "Naturally, I went out to cross the demon by myself, and I want to marry the White Snake in Jinshan Temple, right?" ”

“…… Uh, yes, yes, yes, you're right. ”

The old man smiled and shook his head, and saw Li Bai throwing out another golden ticket: "Just act like this!" ”

The old man suddenly pounced in a panic and picked up the golden ticket on the ground, but suddenly there was a muffled sound.

As soon as it was dark, he fell to the ground.

Xun Qing was stunned, not understanding why Li Bai suddenly made a move, but then saw that the drunkenness in the young man's eyes suddenly swept away, and a cold light emerged.

At his waist, the long sword inlaid with gold and jade suddenly shook, and the shark leather wrapped in it suddenly shattered, revealing the unpretentious appearance below.

And a cold light has appeared out of thin air, and with Li Bai's swaying, it slashed towards the bronze mirror in the corner!

The huge bronze mirror shattered like a bubble, and a stunned figure appeared behind it, and it didn't know when it had been hidden inside!

At this moment, he was squatting in the narrow dark room behind the mirror, holding a pipe for blowing cigarettes......

In an instant, the smoke of the bamboo pipe was cut into pieces.

The blade of the sword had stopped in front of his throat, and before he could scream, he was about to suffocate.

"You guessed it right, Xun Qing."

Li Bai stared at his face and said coldly: "Forget if everyone in this broken place doesn't have a word of truth, now it seems that it is probably still a black shop!"

Sure enough, there was a problem! ”

Behind those flattering smiles, there is greed and malice that cannot be hidden.

It was as if he had broken into the lair of a beast, just feeling that kind of gaze made Li Bai uncomfortable!

On the ground, the fainting old man groaned, as if he was awake, but before he could get up, he was knocked hard by Li Bai's scabbard.

Passed out again.

This time he doubled his strength, and even knocked off the old man's gray hair, as well as a human skin mask, and the dagger in his arms also fell out. Xun Qing picked it up and pulled it out, and saw the dark red residual blood stains on it.

I can't even wash it.

Suddenly the color changed.

Is this a song house or a demon cave?

"Don't talk, I ask, you answer."

Li Bai looked directly at the subordinate hiding behind the mirror: "What are you doing here?" ”

The cold blade stepped forward slightly, slicing through the neck, causing the lies that had been surging in his throat to dissipate.

"Don't lie."

Li Bai said coldly: "I can hear it, do you want to gamble and try it?" ”

"The chief, the chief said that you must have come to do something...... the pale man stammered, "He, he asked me to put you down, and then send you down......"

"Below?" Li Bai frowned: "Where?" ”

"I don't know, I really don't know!" The attacker shook his head in horror: "It's all handled by others, I, I'm only responsible for this!" ”

Li Bai's eyes looked at him directly.

After a long time, he suddenly said, "Very good, then take me to your supervisor...... You shouldn't live up to my trust, right? ”

He looked behind the bronze mirror, the narrow slit.

There is also a lingering, faint aroma.

This person also has that kind of smell on his body, but it doesn't seem that he has been exposed to it much, and he hasn't directly worn that sachet.

Li Bai's mind was racing in an instant, and he didn't plan to hesitate anymore.

Originally, he was just here to find clues, but since Ji Xian's guy didn't have good intentions first, then don't blame him for being polite!

Soon, the door to the private room opened again.

The pale subordinate walked out of it, squeezed out a smile with difficulty, turned around, and said in a trembling voice: "Two or two distinguished guests, please come with me." ”

After seeing Li Bai's swordsmanship of chiseling a poem on the wall with a sword in his hand, he had no intention of resisting at all.

I just beg these two strong dragons who don't know where they came from not to kill themselves with a sword.

Even if he walked in front, he could feel the sharp gaze of the young man behind him, which kept falling on the base of his neck, which was extremely terrifying.

Then, whirling around, he led them to the end of a corridor.

Before Li Bai could speak, he heard Xun Qing's sudden whisper: "I see, this shape and style have a mechanism...... Is it a lift table? ”

The subordinate who was about to explain stiffened for a moment, and nodded with a smirk.

As the huge bronze mirror rotated, a luxurious lifting platform full of gold, silver and jade ornaments had already fallen, and it was surprising to see a hillbilly like Li Bai who had never seen all kinds of mechanism creations.

In the midst of the slow ascent, a cacophony of voices was soon heard, and even the walls could not stop the heated atmosphere.

And when the door of the lift platform opens again from the other side, there is a rush of heat.

In the brightly lit hall, how can the jewels be ten times better than the outside?

What was even more striking was the dense crowd inside, each dressed and crowned with gorgeous and delicate clothes, and the faces were flushed with excitement, gathered around those tables, shouting loudly.

The atmosphere is in full swing and you can't help but want to join in.

But seeing those eyes that were unconsciously covered with bloodshot made Li Bai feel a chill. They are all well-dressed, but their greed and insatiable hunger are even better than those of beasts.

"Gambling house?"

Xun Qing lost his voice, slightly sluggish, and almost fell, he didn't expect that in the cloud building where singing and dancing was leveling, there was such a huge mezzanine and such a prosperous casino.

Almost every table was piled with gold, silver and bills, and some people even gambled with red eyes and bet on their jade wrenches and peiyu.

Even a small piece of it is enough for a poor family to have no worries about food and clothing. But now, it is just the smallest chip here, stacked on top of each other, and it becomes a small mountain.

"Aren't they afraid of being reported?" Xun Qing whispered in surprise.

In order to encourage the people's livelihood, the people of Hewlett-Packard, today's dragon queen is notoriously strict to prohibit extravagance, impose heavy taxes on various gambling houses, and even install messengers to monitor and prevent concealment.

In the past, what Xun Qing knew was some black files that couldn't be put on the table, and he didn't know how much he could sweep out in a single crackdown. But I didn't expect that there would be such an exaggeration in Chang'an.

And beside him, there was a courteous attendant who heard it, but showed a proud color: "Our family has people above, and the people who come and go are all nobles, so it doesn't hurt to enjoy the guests." ”

Enjoy?

Li Bai raised his eyes without a trace and glanced upward, between the towers on the high floors, the eyes of those guards looking down.

It's like looking at an animal in a pen waiting to be slaughtered......

Walk through the hustle and bustle of halls and labyrinthine corridors, and finally, come to the heavily guarded door at the end.

In front of the door, the swordsman who guarded him cast a cold gaze.

"What?"

"The two guests lost and lost, and they came to the manager to borrow money." The guide forced a smile.

"Borrowed money?"

The swordsman glanced at Li Bai and Xun Qing behind him, and gradually became suspicious: "Why don't you borrow money and go to the account room downstairs?" Also, aren't you working in the foyer? When did you come to the third floor? ”

The guide could no longer restrain his trembling, his face was bloodless, and he was sweating profusely.

But then, a low wind voice emerged from behind him, and Li Bai's scabbard suddenly stabbed out from behind his turban, hitting the guard's head with a muffled sound.

The guard's eyes whitened, and he took a step back and slipped off.

The hand pressed on the hilt of the sword was weakly released.

Immediately afterwards, the guide was also knocked over by Li Bai with a punch.

Xun Qing hadn't reacted to the instantaneous change, and was dumbfounded.

And Li Bai had already lifted the two of them and rushed into the room.

Behind the door, in the elegantly decorated room, a middle-aged man was writing something, heard a strange noise, looked up and saw the two people who broke in, his face changed suddenly, and he reached out and pressed it to his side.

But before he could call the police, Li Bai's long sword came out of his hand and broke through the air.

It was nailed diagonally to the table, slicing his palm.

He screamed in the midst of the pain, and heard the wind howling.

After a step of three feet, the young man had already stepped over the long table, pulled out the blade of the sword on the table with his backhand, and put it on his neck.

"Don't move!" Li Bai warned.

The Director's expression convulsed, and he twitched: "Who are you!" ”

"You don't even know who I am, and you want my life?" Li Bai lowered his eyes and looked down, and asked in a cold voice: "It's just that I want to ask you!" Do you remember this thing? ”

He pulled out the bloodstained jade pendant from his waist and asked in a cold voice, "Who did this?" Who killed that child?! ”

The director was stunned for a moment, as if he understood something.

Looking at him and Xun Qing's gaze, the more resentful and hideous they became.

"It turned out to be the two of you who died...... You're dead! You ...... die."

He opened his mouth, wanting to roar.

But a rapidly enlarged black shadow suddenly appeared in front of him, and it was Li Bai's sword hilt that was turned and smashed down. In an instant, his eyes rolled and he fainted.

There was a musk on his body, the same musk smell as Ji Xian said-

Sure enough, it has something to do with Yunjian Tower!

Li Bai's heart gradually became cold, he looked down at the supervisor at his feet, held the hilt of the sword in his hand for a long time, and slowly released it.

Close your eyes.

When he raised his pupils again, he finally regained his composure.

If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan.

The key person should be Ji Xian.

"Let's go, Xun Qing." He whispered, "Let's find a way to take him out and throw him to that guy Di Renjie." ”

"Wait."

Xun Qing was attracted by Li Bai's kick to the account book next to him, and looked down: "Wait for me." ”

He moved quickly, quickly flipped through the records, and was horrified by the high amount of water in them every day, and at the same time, he quickly realized that something was wrong.

When he raised his head, he rushed to the bookshelf and quickly searched for it.

Not only the mountains of income and expenditure records on the surface, but even the hidden ledgers and other messy books hidden in the dark compartment were all turned over by the machine spider he released.

But wherever he swept by, there was no East XZ at all.

Soon, there was a sudden pause in his hand, the ledger stopped on a page, and his brows furrowed.

"What's wrong?" Li Bai asked.

"I'm sorry for ......" Xun Qing leaned closer and looked carefully: "Why don't the monthly income and expenditure and miscellaneous items in the ledger match the number of people in the register?"

You see, here, here, and here...... Although it seems that there is nothing wrong, compared to the records of the previous months, it is not reasonable at all! ”

"What's wrong with that?"

"This shows that there are many more people in Yunjian Lou than on the books...... Secretly, there should definitely be another account! It may be just a pretense here, Ji Xian is secretly doing something! ”

Li Bai was stunned.

It's not because Xun Qing found out that it's boring, but because he can actually understand this pile of heavenly books!

"Can you really read it?"

"Or else?" Xun Qing raised his head and glanced at him, proud, "When I was twelve years old, I had already graduated from Yu Hengsi with full marks in the four courses of arithmetic, gewu, mechanics and transmission!" ”

"Then why did you become a mechanic now?"

"......" Xun Qing suddenly felt like he had been stabbed, his expression twitched for a long time, and he squeezed out two words from between his teeth: "Practice." ”

Too poor.

I can't afford to buy a mechanism at all!

"I was born to be useful, my daughter will come back when I am gone, don't be sad, I am the same."

Li Bai patted him on the shoulder, and sighed sincerely: "When I was twelve years old, I was already famous in swordsmanship and poetry, and I reached the peak at the age of sixteen, but it has been more than a year now, and I have not made any progress at all. The hour does not know the moon, and it is called a white jade plate...... This is probably the growing pain, right? ”

Burst!

Xun Qing's mouthful of old blood was stuck in his throat, and he wanted to spray this bastard.

Why does he feel like he's been exposed to this guy again?

And made a poem?

It seems that two more songs have been made?

Are you human?!

Xun Qing was extremely angry for a while, and in order to protect his fragile soul from being hurt again, he didn't want to pay attention to him at all. Speed up and pick up the ledger from the shelves to be taken away as evidence. But when he reached out and pulled out a copy from it, he heard a snap.

It looks like some thread has been pulled off.

His movements stiffened.

When I realized what I had done, my eyes suddenly went dark.

"Run, Li Bai."

He didn't care about collecting any more evidence, grabbed Li Bai, turned around and wanted to leave.

But then, suddenly, a shrill sound burst out of the room, and the high-pitched sound of gongs resounded in the lounge of every guard, causing turmoil in the beautiful realm of singing and dancing, and the sound of screams and cracks continued to sound.

In the flickering red light, he froze in place.

Alert!

The alarm was triggered by itself!

Just when he had no master, Li Bai had already taken the lead in reacting, pulling him and rushing to the door.

But a low sound of footsteps quickly approached the door, and the sound of swords unsheathed was incessant.

"What's going on!"

"Director Changsun's alarm has sounded, and a thief has run in!"

"You guys go guard the front and back doors, you, you, and you, follow me to the accounting room, and the rest go to the vault, hurry!"

The guards reacted without hesitation, and rushed towards the area.

Li Bai and Xun Qing behind the door glanced at each other, and they cooperated to put down the cabinet in front of the door, blocking the door first, and blocking the guys who hit the door.

Then he looked into the room, looking for an exit.

Not to mention the other doors, this place doesn't even have a window to prevent thieves!

Just as Li Bai gave up escaping and was about to draw his sword, Xun Qing suddenly felt the cold wind blowing overhead.

It was like a chaotic mind suddenly cleared, and the panic was no longer there.

Regain hope!

"Go up! Ceiling, hurry up! ”

Xun Qing was the first to notice where the wind was coming from, from the air intake fence on the ceiling, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "I know that there must be ventilation ducts in places like this, hurry up, it should be able to fit people inside......"

"You can find it all?"

Li Bai followed his guidance and looked over, and was stunned. I felt that I suddenly had a better understanding of Xun Qing's criminal talent.

But at this point, there's not much time to waste.

He jumped up, waved his sword to remove the baffle, and got in, but after waiting for a long time, Xun Qing didn't follow, so he could only probe from above and urge: "Hurry." ”

"I, I can't jump!"

Xun Qing tried hard to jump for a long time, but he couldn't reach the edge at all, and he was about to die.

I only heard the sound of banging on the door getting more and more intense, and the cabinet in front of the door was almost unbearable.

Someone took a knife and pierced the door panel and looked inside.

"There's someone in there!" A shrill voice shouted, "Bring my crossbow, quick!" Kill him! ”

Xun Qing didn't have time to react, he subconsciously kicked down from the brazier on the ground, and threw it into a pile of bad debts, and suddenly thick smoke and sparks rose up, and soon enveloped the whole house.

It's suffocating.

He covered his nose and hid in the smoke, but his heart was sour, feeling that he was finally dying, and it was better to kill himself than to be tortured to death.

But when he looked up to find a good place to hang the beam, he found that Li Bai did not abandon himself and ran away, but jumped from it.

Then, he directly pulled his collar and struggled to hold it up.

"Get up to me!"

The huge force made Xun Qing rise more than two meters out of thin air, and he subconsciously grabbed the edge of the vent and hurriedly climbed in.

Then a series of crossbows were heard firing a terrible roar.

Just below, several tragic gaps appeared out of thin air in the door panels, and arrows whistled in, tearing through the smoke and nailing deep into the walls.

He only heard the high-pitched sound of gold and iron colliding, but he couldn't see where Li Bai was.

That group of guys actually fired arrows? They don't care that they have their people here!

Xun Qing's eyes widened, looking for Li Bai's trace.

"Hey, are you still alive?" He roared, "Come up! ”

"Don't worry."

Li Bai put his sword into the sheath, raised his head and responded: "I'll ...... it"

Rumble!

A terrifying loud bang erupted from outside the door.

It was as if a battering ram had rammed on the gate, causing the two-inch-thick door panel and the cabinet with hundreds of pounds behind it to fall apart in an instant, turning into a sharp and heavy rain of fragments, spilling towards the room in the thick smoke.

All I could hear was the sound of shattering and breaking.

A heavy piece of iron flew past Li Bai's ear, and the wind was terrible.

Immediately after, the sound of low footsteps burst out like thunder, and in the wailing of the floor, only a huge figure was seen emerging from the dense fog, like a giant squeezed into the cloud building, holding a giant sword more than nine feet in his hand, slashing down into the mist.

The hurricane swept through, and the smoke was almost blown away by the horrific blow.

The flames were also extinguished.

That inhuman power made Li Bai suspect that it was simply some kind of beast, and it was not at all within the scope of his arm that could be blocked, and he only had time to dodge to his side, when he heard the loud sound of the floor breaking under his feet.

The floor, which was more than a meter thick, was also shattered by this sword!

Immediately afterward, I saw that the huge black shadow seemed to be not tired, and easily pulled out the giant sword from the floor and swept towards him!

In front of him, the wall panels on both sides were completely destroyed in the face of that tremendous force.

The wails of the broken masonry continued to burst out, and Li Bai had already flown up, dodging the sword that was enough to cut people in the waist, but immediately after, behind the giant, there were countless bowstring tightening sounds.

"Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrows! ”

Someone shouted hoarsely: "Shoot him!" ”

In the thick smoke, Li Bai felt a chill and turned around from mid-air. When his hand grasped the hilt of the sword, his eyes became sharp and sharp, and iron light brewed.

It seems that this time, there is going to be a separation-

But then, he heard a gust of wind above his head, and a hand actually grabbed his back collar, pulling upwards with all his might!

It's Xun Qing!

That guy, most of his body leaned out, risking being killed by arrows, he grabbed Li Bai's clothes desperately, and his face was red: "Come up!" ”

Between the lightning and flint, Li Bai grabbed his arm and flipped it up hard.

Immediately afterward, I heard the sound of a torrential rain flying under my feet.

In the dim and narrow pipe, the two of them gasped in horror, only to hear a continuous rain of arrows erupting in the thick smoke below.

It was only after it was certain that no living creature would survive.

When the smoke finally cleared, the lead guard burst into the room, looked around, and saw the gap in the ventilation duct overhead, and changed color suddenly.

"You ran away?!"

He raised his head and scolded at the burly giant holding the big sword behind him: "Kunlun Mole, what are you doing!" Eat so much every day, and when something happens, you will poke Lou Zi and waste rice buckets! ”

The huge giant crouched and shrunk in the corner of the room, and such a dark complexion was rare even in Chang'an.

It is Xun Qing's 'Kunlun fellow'.

"I choked and didn't see ......"

He lowered his head in embarrassment, and was beaten and scolded at the moment, but he was not angry, and he tried to squeeze out a flattering smile on his wooden face, but it looked more and more funny.

"What are you doing in a daze!" The leader of the guards angrily retorted: "Get out of here and find it!" In case a little basket comes out, Lao Tzu picks your skin! ”

After the reports were made layer by layer, soon, an unprecedented search was launched from the Yunjian Building.

Amid the screams of countless people, every room was searched inch by inch.

And the culprit has already fled.
