One hundred and sixty taels.

No one spoke.

The dull voice that had just silenced the audience did not sound again, and she seemed to have accumulated the strength for a long time, and had waited for a long time, but only a short and not bright sound. Even many people don't remember this timbre, and it has been completely truncated by this calm and firm voice.

"A Twelfth Pavilion, one hundred and sixty taels of silver want to buy a Ascending Pill! Three singing is fixed—"

There was silence.

"A Twelfth Pavilion, one hundred and sixty taels of silver want to buy a step pill! Three singing is fixed—"

Still no one spoke.

When this sentence was sung for the third time, the dull voice just now suddenly sounded again, but this time it seemed a little hesitant and a little difficult to stumble.

"One hundred. Sixty-three taels," she said, "another four hundred." ”

"One hundred and seventy taels." Li Yiqing's voice followed without the slightest gap.

So there was no sound at all.

sang three times on stage, and the ownership of the ascending pill has been decided.

After some concluding remarks, the guests left one after another, and Bowangyuan also prepared many other pastimes for this singing and selling, and everyone went to the outside together.

A Tsing Yi came down and invited Li Yiqing to trade.

Pei Ye poked the girl: "I'll go see a friend first." ”

"Oh, wouldn't it be nice to wait a minute?"

Pei Ye shook his head: "I'll meet later." ”

He turned to look for the muffled voice he had just heard.

However, the people dispersed a little too quickly, or the woman had left the venue early when the bidding failed, and when Pei Ye came to the back, she couldn't see the broad figure.

He chased out the door and followed the flow of people all the way to the bottom of the Moon Catcher Tower.

Outside at this time, it was still a faint rain, the crowd gradually diverged, and different people began to go to different places of interest, Pei Ye looked around, and a familiar gray flashed in his vision.

Pei Li's head was immediately fixed in that direction - Catching the Moon Tower.

I don't know how many floors I can go up today, anyway, many people are coming here, Pei Ye strode up, this is the first time he has entered here, and he is a little surprised to find that this building is supported by a stone platform, and the first floor is more than a foot from the ground.

Pei Ye went up the steps to the first floor, but this building is not as empty as the viewing platform, its carved walls are scattered, the curved corridor lingers, Pei Ye walked around a few corners, did not see Zhang Junxue, but looked at the Liuquan Stone Mountain in front of him a little stunned.

Why is there such a thing in the building?

Anyway, Zhang Junxue won't be in it, he thought about it, he must have climbed this building when he came to this building, and the woman should have gone up.

Pei Ye was somewhat worried about this taciturn friend, her panting figure in the courtyard at dawn and dusk, the rough and firm cloth bag sealed around her waist, and the sparkling eyes when she received the reward silver with sweat, all made the young man remember deeply.

She had never said it, but the heaviness she was carrying had already made Pei Li empathize, and now that the expectation that had been condensed for many days had been so easily disappointed, Pei Ye was worried that she would be unable to digest this emotion.

Especially since she was still alone—after all the ten days she had been together, the boy had not seen much kindness she had received from this strange city.

She always endured quietly, stubbornly clamoring towards her plans, as if she had become accustomed to keeping everything dull in her mind. But no one will ever need to dredge.

The stone mountain in front of him was towering and extending to the second floor, Pei Ye looked left and right to see that there was no one, and felt that the stairs were not easy to find, so he simply jumped up the mountain.

came to the second floor and walked around, but I didn't see Zhang Junxue's figure. And the stone mountain in the center of this floor continues to extend to the third floor, although the space is much narrower, and there is no way to pass outside the mountain, but there is a hollow place in the middle of the mountain, Pei Ye estimated that the width and narrowness can go up and down.

But after this lap he had already seen the staircase, and he gave up the obscure passage.

There was still no woman on the third floor, this floor was full of calligraphy, painting and poetry, the literati were sitting cross-legged and talking and laughing, Pei Li guessed that she should be looking for a quieter place, so she continued to go up.

After coming to the fourth floor and still not seeing it, Pei Li was a little confused, and began to wonder if he had seen the wrong person just now. He stood in front of the railing, with his back to the rain outside the building, almost the entire fourth floor at a glance, but none of them were like Zhang Junxue.

At this time, a Tsing Yi passed in front of him with a plate of wine jugs bowed his head, Pei Ye stopped him and arched his hand: "Brother Tai, have you seen a tall woman wearing a gray and white military uniform?" ”

Tsing Yi was stunned for a moment, then raised his head, then stunned again, and then shook his head hesitantly.

"Oh, okay, excuse me."

Pei Ye withdrew his hand and stepped aside, and Tsing Yi carried the plate up the steps to the fifth floor.

Pei Ye sighed, turned around with a slight frown, and thought that there should be such a silent figure overlooking the railing.

Just as he was about to take another step to the fifth floor, a familiar gray suddenly appeared under his vision.

Pei Ye immediately stepped forward and held on to the railing to look down.

- Zhang Junxue is downstairs.

She didn't go upstairs, but just walked through the first floor to the dark side of the building, which was indeed quiet and empty enough, but the woman didn't sit stunned.

The sky was dim under the clouds, and the pine trees and the small lantern pavilion were always hung with lights, and in the dark corner behind this beautiful light, the woman continued to wield the heavy sword, and the wind was loud, just as she had done in the martial arts hall for the past ten days, and the jade lantern streamer avoided her clumsy body.

Pei Ye looked down condescendingly, the hem of the woman's clothes flew like a big flower, Pei Ye looked at it for a while, suddenly smiled, and lowered his head to jump down.

However, between the two movements of bowing his head and jumping, the boy's movements froze.

Footprints on the ground come into view.

The rain this morning was not small, and it was obliquely entering the building, Pei Ye went upstairs all the way, and there were wet footprints of different shades on each floor. But the road is quite clean, so there is not much mud, and the footprints almost disappear as soon as they dry.

And the footprints in front of him are still very clear, and they can only come from one master, the Tsing Yi attendant just now.

And these footprints, Pei Ye is not the first time to see them.

On the second floor of Lao Zhang's restaurant that day, before a living person turned into a bloody corpse, these footprints stood quietly in front of the door for a long time.

Pei Li suddenly understood the doubts at that time - the murderer was pretending to be Xiao Er, so he was able to stand in front of the victim for a long time without being vigilant, there were few guests at that time, and it was normal for Xiao Er to concentrate on serving the guests in this compartment.

And when the Huxin Gang, himself, and Zhao joined the army in turn, the murderer still did not leave, he wore a disguise, shrunk under the wall and listened to all their conversations.

A chill surged up, his body stiffened first and then tensed, Pei Ye suddenly twisted his body, and rushed to the fifth floor like a leopard.

I thought I was free today, but it turned out to be three hours in the morning! A three-and-a-half-hour check-in meeting in the afternoon! Another two hours of miscellaneous work at night! Dry!

The next 2000 words are more before 12 o'clock.
