Where is this?

Yan Tingmu looked at it, he seemed to be in a dimly lit basement, the surrounding walls were smeared with bloodstains, and the four corners were hung with candles flickering with faint lights.

Why are you here?

Yan Ting was a little at a loss, and suddenly there was a slight coughing sound from behind him, the voice was very soft, as if the old man's lamp was exhausted, Yan Ting looked back, there was indeed a figure leaning on the corner of the wall behind him, his body was hidden under the candle flame and he couldn't see his appearance clearly, Yan Ting slowly approached to see this person's face, it turned out to be Hai Yichuan!

Yan Ting was overjoyed and was about to speak, when Hai Yichuan suddenly spurted blood, and then trembled like madness, howling loudly:

"Kill me! Kill me! ”

Kill me?!

……

Yan Ting opened his eyes violently, got up in a trance, and found that it was a nightmare, and he was lying on a large and comfortable bed, covered with a warm and soft quilt, and the air was filled with strange incense, Yan Ting reached out and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and looked down to find that his broken arm had been carefully bandaged with gauze, and the clothes on his body had been changed into new ones.

Where is this? Did Mo Yuzhu send him over? And why did he save himself?

Yan Ting was a little puzzled, but he was not a person who drilled the horns, he didn't think about it so much at the moment, and it was the first thing to figure out where he was at the moment, Yan Ting lifted the quilt, and as soon as he jumped off the bed, the door of the room was pushed open.

"You're awake."

Before the figure arrived, the voice had already come, Yan Ting was shocked when he heard this voice, this sonorous and powerful voice was not the first time he had heard it, the last time was in the capital.

Yan Ting stared at the door, and slowly walked into the room was a majestic-looking middle-aged man, wearing a blue coarse cloth robe and a hood on his head.

"You've been asleep for two days." Dongfang Shenwei stood with his hands in his hands, showing a gentle smile: "You woke up a day earlier than I expected." ”

Yan Ting smiled bitterly: "I never thought I would see you again." ”

Dongfang Shenwei looked at Yan Ting's broken arm, and his smile was indescribable: "I never thought I would see you like this." ”

If Hai Yichuan was here, his jaw would definitely drop, Yan Ting and Dongfang Shenwei were no strangers.

"Where is this?"

"Qinglou."

"You brought me here?"

"It's not me, it's Mo Yuzhu."

"What about others?"

"He carried you here and turned away, and I didn't stop him."

Yan Ting sighed: "You shouldn't let him leave, I still have some questions to ask him." ”

Dongfang Shenwei said: "He's just an insignificant chess piece, he doesn't necessarily know what you want to ask, and he doesn't necessarily say it." ”

"Chess pieces?" Yan Ting stared at Dongfang Shenwei and asked, "Is he your person?" ”

"He's not mine, or he wouldn't have run."

"Why did you suddenly come to Luoyang?"

Dongfang Shenwei didn't answer, just looked at Yan Ting quietly, Yan Ting said: "I heard Mo Yuzhu say that you want to kill me, I don't believe it." ”

Dongfang Shenwei asked, "If I really want to kill you, what about you?" ”

Yan Ting said: "Do nothing, wait for death." ”

Dongfang Shenwei smiled again, and teased: "But as far as I know, you are not someone who will wait for death, you should be able to figure out a way to deal with it." ”

Yan Ting smiled bitterly: "But in the face of you, I have no other thoughts than to wait for death, so can you tell me if it's true." ”

Dongfang Shenwei was silent for a moment, took out a letter from his arms, and said, "I did come to Luoyang to find you, but not to kill you, but to beg you." ”

"Please?"

"Yes, please." Dongfang Shenwei's tone aggravated a little, and he threw the letter to Yan Ting: "This is the letter I received a few days ago, you will know it when you read it." ”

Yan Ting opened the letter and read it carefully, the content of the letter was only a few lines, but he was shocked into a cold sweat and couldn't speak for a long time.

Dongfang Shenwei said: "You should understand. ”

Yan Ting came to his senses and said, "Is the content of the letter true?" Was the golden sword given by the emperor really stolen? ”

Dongfang Shenwei nodded slowly, but the green tendons that appeared on his neck showed that his heart was not as calm as it appeared on the outside.

Yan Ting asked, "When was the knife stolen?" ”

"The fifth day of the first month."

"Where was it stolen?"

"It's in my house."

"When did you receive the letter?"

"The eighth day of the first month."

Yan Ting let out a sneer, there was only a short three days between the time he lost the knife and the time he received the letter, Yan Ting asked again: "The letter said that you want to kill me before the eighth day of the next month, why do you want to kill me before the eighth day of the next month?" ”

Dongfang Shenwei said: "At present, the saint is secretly touring the south in Gezhou, and the eighth day of the first lunar month is the day to return to Beijing. ”

Yan Ting said: "If I was still alive at that time, they would have made the matter of losing the knife public, and the emperor of the dynasty would definitely hold you accountable." ”

Dongfang Shenwei nodded: "Yes, my personal life is small, and the reputation of the Dongfang family must not be ruined in my hands." ”

"But even if you kill me, they won't necessarily return the knife to you."

Dongfang Shenwei also sneered, why didn't he understand this truth, Yan Ting then asked: "So you came this time to let me help you find the knife?" ”

Dongfang Shenwei nodded deeply: "The fewer people who know about the loss of the knife, the better, I can't use the people of Ouchi, and you used to be the confidant of the Blood Shadow Gate, you should have a better chance of getting the knife back than anyone else." ”

Yan Ting's brows were tightened, the masters in the Dongfang Mansion were like clouds, and being able to steal the knife under the nose of Dongfang Shenwei not only required the world's best hand and foot skills and extremely meticulous intelligence, but also had some unusual means, and there was only one person he could think of.

"There is no shortage of strange people among the masters of the Blood Shadow Sect, but the person who can steal the golden sword, except for Mu Jinghong, I can't think of a second person."

"Mu Qinghong? The eldest son of Mu Yunhou, the master of the Divine Hidden Sect? Dongfang Shenwei was slightly surprised and asked, "You mean that the Divine Hidden Sect is also under the control of the Blood Shadow?" ”

"Their hands are much deeper than you think."

Dongfang Shenwei's eyes had already revealed murderous intent, and his tone was a little heavier: "Do you know where the others are now?" ”

Yan Ting shook his head, Mu Qinghong has always been secretive, and the disciple of the Shenyin Sect is the most proficient in the art of disguise, even if he stands in front of you, it is extremely difficult to see the abnormality, Dongfang Shenwei saw Yan Ting's worries, and asked: "Now there are only twenty days before the agreed deadline, can you be sure of retrieving the knife?" ”

Yan Ting said: "No." ”

Dongfang Shenwei sighed and said, "If that's the case, I can only kill you here." ”

Yan Ting smiled: "Although I am not sure that I can find the knife back, I can help you solve this trouble." ”

"How do you fix it?"

"Before the tenth day of the first month of next month, I will let the entire Blood Shadow Gate disappear in the rivers and lakes."

Dongfang Shenwei was stunned for a moment, and his eyebrows were twisted into a rope: "You are not a person who can talk big. ”

Yan Ting said: "I really am not. ”

Dongfang Shenwei looked at Yan Ting, Yan Ting also looked at Dongfang Shenwei, unconsciously his palms were soaked with sweat, Dongfang Shenwei was not a gambler, he didn't know if Dongfang Shenwei could believe him, and the room fell into a deathly silence.

After a moment of silence, Dongfang Shenwei opened his mouth first: "You are single now, how can you make me believe in you?" ”

Yan Ting's tense nerves relaxed, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said slowly: "I didn't plan to be alone, I need your help." ”

"I can't help you."

"You don't have to do it yourself." Yan Ting said: "Hai Yichuan is in the hands of Oolong Changqing, I think you should have a way to find their whereabouts." ”

"Hai Yichuan......" Dongfang Shenwei narrowed his eyes, and his words showed contempt: "What's the use of him?" ”

"He is indispensable to my plan."

Dongfang Shenwei hesitated a little, but nodded slightly: "If that's the case, I can help you inquire about his whereabouts, what else can I help you?" ”

"Help me find out the whereabouts of Jojiu."

"Jojiu wine?" Dongfang Shenwei was very surprised, and said suspiciously: "I remember that she is a person of blood shadow like you. ”

Yan Ting nodded: "Yes, I have a way for her to help me." ”

"It's not hard to find her, it's just that her current situation should be more troublesome than yours." Dongfang Shenwei said to Yan Ting: "I not only received a letter that day, but also an old man who I haven't seen for a long time came to visit, just to ask me about her. ”

Yan Ting asked, "Who is it?" ”

"Lee's confusion."

Yan Ting almost jumped up and said in shock: "Li Chaoqing? He hasn't been seen in the rivers and lakes for almost ten years, and he asks you what Chengjiu Liquor does? ”

"Nine years, to be exact." Dongfang Shenwei said: "The reason is the same as mine, the Blood Shadow Gate found him and asked him to kill Chengjiujiu. ”

"He agreed?"

Dongfang Shenwei nodded, Yan Ting suddenly felt a tingling in his scalp, he really couldn't imagine that the blood shadow's divine power was so great, even this person who had retired to the rivers and lakes for several years could be moved, Dongfang Shenwei continued: "I don't understand why the blood shadow wants to eradicate the Chengjiu wine, but if you have her in your plan, you can eliminate her now." ”

Yan Ting shook his head with a wry smile: "On the contrary, we have to find Chengjiu Wine first, otherwise Li Chaoqing will be in danger." ”

Dongfang Shenwei only felt that there was something wrong with his ears, and he was very unbelievable: "You said that Li Chaoqing is dangerous? Do you think he can't kill Chengjiujiu? ”

Yan Ting nodded, and Dongfang Shenwei said, "Have you ever seen Li Chaoqing's sword?" ”

Yan Ting said: "No, but I know Chengjiu wine, so I dare to say this." ”

Dongfang Shenwei was quite shocked: "I have seen her once, although I have not fought with her, but I have talked to her, Cheng Jiujiu is indeed a martial arts wizard, but I don't think she is better than Li Chaoqing." ”

Yan Ting said bluntly: "If you fight her once, you will know that if she uses a knife, she will never be under you." ”

Dongfang Shenwei was silent, Yan Ting had seen his sword, but he still gave Chengjiujiu such a high evaluation, and he was silent for a long time before he said slowly: "Since this is the case, we will leave now, and you will come with me." ”

As soon as Yan Ting got up, a rumbling sound sounded in his stomach, Dongfang Shenwei looked at Yan Ting's deflated stomach, and said with a smile: "I forgot that you haven't eaten for two days, and it just so happens that the person I took you to meet can entertain us for a good meal." ”

The two walked out of the house, this is a luxuriously decorated green building, bright and spacious lobby in many richly dressed men and beautifully dressed women frolicking, a warbler swallow language made Yan Ting suddenly feel a little noisy, lowered his head and shook his head was about to leave quickly, but accidentally bumped into a maid with tea, "pop" The teapot fell to the ground and shattered.

The maid hurriedly sank down to clean up, and kept saying, "The guest officer is angry, I didn't mean to ......." Yan Tingzheng wanted to say that it was okay, but when he saw the jade pendant on the maid's body, he closed his mouth, the maid's fingers were extremely sharp, and he quickly cleaned up the broken teapot, and trotted away.

Yan Ting looked at the back of the maid leaving, and asked Dongfang Shenwei on the side: "Is this really just an ordinary green building?" ”

Dongfang Shenwei also stared at the maid, and only after the maid's back completely disappeared did he speak unhurriedly: "It's really just a green building." ”
