Chapter 67: The Wicked Guest Visits
On the second day, Yue Mingqiu and Zhuang Youqian went to her room together after resting for a while according to Xie Zhengliu's previous instructions.
As soon as the three of them sat down, Xie Zhengliu simply spoke: "I bought the news about Zhao Qingwu in the black market yesterday." ”
The two people on the other side didn't expect the news to come so suddenly, and Zhuang Youqian almost fell off the stool in shock.
However, the two quickly recovered from their excitement and hurried to Xie Zhengliu: "I was about to ask what you did before, but I didn't expect you to go to find the whereabouts of Zhao Qingwu." That's right, then you can tell us the location of that person quickly, so that we can find out and send the news back to the sect. ”
Zhuang Youqian said as he began to touch the messenger on his body, looking like he was about to inform the sect of the good news immediately.
"You'd better wait." Xie Zhengliu opened his mouth to stop.
However, Zhuang Youqian still lowered his head and wrote something on the messenger, and he didn't raise his head and said: "What are you waiting for, such a good opportunity, let's hurry up and report her position so that we can earn the task reward!" ”
"Let's wait." Xie Zhengliu raised his hand and pressed Zhuang Youqian's communication talisman, his expression was rare and serious, "Because, I still have to ask for something from her." ”
It wasn't until the two of them looked up at her in surprise and the room was quiet again that Xie Zhengliu spoke again: "Maybe you still remember that I was spiritually damaged?" I didn't tell you before, but now I have to explain to you why my spirit is broken. Someone took something very important from me......"
Xie Zhengliu only said this, and the expressions of the two of them had already become ugly.
"Yes, Zhao Qingwu took away my sword bones."
The unspeakable silence in the room lasted for half an hour, and after listening to Xie Zhengliu's narration, the two stood by the window with gloomy faces for a long time, before they finally digested what had happened, and endured the anger in their hearts.
Yue Mingqiu touched his precious sword: "Let's go, find that Zhao Qingwu directly, and then snatch back the sword bone she snatched!" ”
"Not only to snatch it back, but also to let everyone know what she once did!" Zhuang Youqian also took out the talisman seal.
The two of them were angrier than the other, and they didn't suspect Xie Zhengliu's intention to lie.
Although she had already expected this result, seeing the trust of the two of them in her, Xie Zhengliu's heartstrings were still plucked.
However, she didn't let the two of them just look for it, but told them about Zhao Qingwu's current situation: "Zhao Qingwu's luck is good, she now lives in the courtyard under the name of the second son of the Liu family, and the second son also allocated a lot of people to protect her. If we break in casually, I'm afraid that not only will we not be able to catch Zhao Qingwu, but we will annoy the Liu family. ”
The Liu family can be called a snake in Yujing City, and even the current city lord of Yujing City is the current head of the Liu family, Liu Yuansu.
With such a background here, even if Xie Zhengliu and the three of them are also disciples of the great sect, they can't suppress this ground snake.
Zhuang Youqian and Yue Mingqiu understood that what Xie Zhengliu said was right, and the two could only try their best to suppress the resentment against Zhao Qingwu in their hearts, waiting for her to reveal her next plan.
"We can't go against Zhao Qingwu blatantly, but she can't stay at home all the time. When she's out the door, it's time for us to do it. ”
The sound of the conversation between the three of them only wafted in the room, and the rest of the voices had been cut off by the formation arranged here before they could float out of the door.
In order to get back the sword bone that originally belonged to Xie Zhengliu, they carefully planned it, but unexpectedly, the plan could never catch up with the changes.
When it was night again in Yujing City, Xie Zhengliu and the three of them planned to take advantage of the night to go to Zhao Qingwu's current residence to have a look and determine if the person was really inside.
Although they didn't go out early, and the whole city was completely plunged into darkness, the ubiquitous lanterns and the laughter of the men and women around made Yujing City as lively as it was in the daytime.
The three of them could only try to avoid the crowd, hide their tracks, and then carefully go to Mingyue Alley, where Zhao Qingwu was.
But they were only halfway there, when the lanterns that lit up the whole city as if it were daylight suddenly went out in unison!
Everyone looked at the scene in amazement, and some of the timid ones screamed on the spot, and the stall owner who sold low-level magic lanterns hurriedly injected some spiritual power into the lanterns, wanting to quickly urge the lanterns to light up again.
But no matter how much they toss, these lanterns just don't come on.
Seeing this scene, Xie Zhengliu's original movements suddenly stopped, and she quickly pulled them into the depths of the alley without caring about the expressions of the other two.
As soon as she had finished doing this, a strong wind blew violently from the direction of the city gate, and the dust kicked up directly confused everyone's faces.
"What's going on, is someone making trouble on purpose?"
"Hurry up and send someone to inform the city lord, our Lantern Festival is only the first day today, and we can't let anyone with a heart ruin it."
The noisy sound was very obvious in the dark, Zhuang Youqian, who was hiding in the depths of the alley, patted Xie Zhengliu on the shoulder, and just wanted to ask something, but Xie Zhengliu directly gagged him.
"Don't talk, that's coming."
Her words seemed to be a precursor to a mutation, and at the moment when the end fell, the originally bright moon and stars above everyone's heads were covered by dark clouds, and everyone lost even the last trace of light.
The monks subconsciously took out the fluorite to figure out what was happening, but the strange thing was that the fluorite, which could be used as an illuminator at any time and place, was immediately dimmed until it turned into an ordinary stone.
At this point, where is there anyone who doesn't realize that the situation is not good?
The monks subconsciously became vigilant, and some even had already urged the formation.
They looked at each other at the people around them, for fear that something terrible would emerge from the crowd in the next moment.
The noisy Yujing City gradually quieted down, and in such silence, a crisp bell was particularly harsh.
The sound of bells rang from far and near, and in the darkness, two red lanterns slowly revealed their shape from the mist that had risen at some point.
Xie Zhengliu and the three of them had silently moved to the mouth of the alley at this time, they didn't dare to stick their heads out to look, but quietly pushed a small mirror out, just to take a clear picture of the sedan chair with Jin Ling at all four corners.
The small sedan chair was covered with white veil, and the faces of the people carrying the sedan chair were as pale as paper.
The mortals and monks in the bustling city also froze in place in a daze as if they had been deprived of their voice and ability to move, watching the strange palanquin land not far from them.
After the bell on the top of the sedan car was completely quiet, a figure slowly lifted the thick white gauze curtain and walked out.
"Good night, everyone."
A man dressed in red and wearing a tall black hat smiled smugly under the cover of a feather fan.
