Chapter 70 There was a laugh upstairs in the smoke and rain, and there was a quiet night in Binlan City
The rain in the Western Moon Province is still falling, and the rain in the Eternal City has stopped.
There is a lake in the south of the eternal city, the only lake in the city, the lake in the south city, because the blue waves are vast and hazy and picturesque when looking at the lake from a distance, and the lake water is clear and you can see the swimming fish when looking down at the lake, so it is named Chengqing Lake.
More than 1,400 years ago, when the Eternal City was still called the Holy City, there were three lakes in the city.
The other two are the holy water lakes in the original church Tianhui Palace, which were filled in when the Tianhui Palace was demolished to level the holy mountain to build the Eternal Tower, and the other one was filled in because the world forgot what its name was because of the long time, which was originally in Xicheng District, and because it was too close to the Eternal Tower, it might affect the foundation.
As the only surviving lake, Chengqing Lake is naturally protected by the official environment of the empire, and is a famous tourist attraction in the Eternal City, and the South Lake Avenue by the lake is naturally one of the most prosperous areas in the Eternal City.
There is a building on Nanhu Avenue, and the name of the building is Yanyu Building.
Yanyulou is backed by Chengqing Lake, the location is also excellent on Nanhu Avenue, there is a small road directly to Glory Avenue opposite, and there is such a good store in Eternal City, the capital of the empire, which is worth every inch of land, in addition to its own nearly 1,000 years of trade name and good management, it is also related to some historical stories.
The name of Yanyulou is good but it is by no means rare, the vast territory of the Huanghuang Empire, the building called Yanyulou is not a hundred but eighty, in fact, Yanyulou was not called Yanyulou a few decades ago.
Yanyu Building was formerly known as Tingyu Building.
Although there is only a difference of one word, listening to the rain is more elegant and connotative than the smoke and rain, and because of a person and a poem thousands of years ago, the entire empire dares to call the building of the rain building only this one.
It's a pity that the wind and rain are shaking, the red dust is turbulent, and the rain building has changed hands several times for thousands of years, and it is no longer the original shop, even the name of the rain building was changed to the smoke and rain building by the owner of the building because of the name of a member of the royal family decades ago.
This incident made many literati and writers sigh, and even the royal family members wanted to restore the name of Yanyu Lou after hearing about it, but it was not implemented after all.
Because Yanyu Building is actually not a good place, Yanyu Building ...... It's a seat**.
The lights are flourishing, the sheng song is enchanting, the water of Chengqing Lake is shining in the moonlight and the lights of the lakeside, this time is the most prosperous and busy time of the day in Yanyulou.
The night outside the building is cool, the lights in the building are brilliant, and listen to the sound of the warbler and the swallow language around the painting beam, and see the shadow of Na Qian move the heart, and the prosperity and charm have dispelled the night cold brought by the autumn wind on the lake.
Different from the hustle and bustle of the first and second floors, the top and third floors of the Yanyu Building are quiet, and the sound insulation between the VIP boxes is excellent.
Yanyulou is a real gold cave, and the VIP private room on the top and third floors is sky-high overnight, and it is not a place that can be chartered just by having money, and those who can go up here are not ordinary people.
A middle-aged man in the costume of a butler walked up to the third floor, looking at his outfit and calm temperament, he must be the entourage of a certain high-ranking official and noble lord in the Eternal City.
The middle-aged man stopped in front of a VIP room on the third floor and lightly buckled the door.
After a while, a red-haired girl who was not dressed opened the door, the girl's face was crimson, her eyes were **, her delicate facial features were matched with the burgundy slightly curly long hair, she was definitely a stunner who was seductive, the red-haired girl threw a wink at the middle-aged man, and turned sideways to ask the middle-aged man to walk into the private room.
The middle-aged man walked into the VIP room with a calm face, ignoring the charming eyes of the red-haired girl and the white and seductive body under the casually draped silk robe.
The fragrant fragrance in the noble room is sultry, and a pink veil hangs down from the carved gold beam in the innermost place, and the smoke and yarn dance with the demon Ye Qianying, dancing the ultimate luxury and scarlet in the world.
The pink light created by the magic reflected the pale red translucent veil, and the woman's bone-scratching chuckle came from the veil, making the atmosphere full of charm.
A clear and lazy voice came from behind the veil: "Xiaoyu, you and Xiaotong go out first." β
Behind the veil there was a coquettish hum, followed by the sound of dressing, and a moment later, a black-haired girl who was as beautiful as a red-haired girl lifted the veil and walked out, twisting her slender waist with the red-haired girl and leaving the box.
"How's the situation over there?" the voice from behind the veil was still clear and lazy, and it was very nice.
"Little master, he just entered Binlan City, and he is resting in the official residence of the city lord of Binlan City tonight, and it looks like he will leave for his return tomorrow. Even through a veil, the middle-aged man's expression was still extremely respectful, his eyes bowed, and he maintained good servant etiquette.
"Well, the 'gift' for him is arranged, right?"
"Little master, originally he might have been in a bit of a hurry if he rushed directly to Binlan City, but he was delayed on the road for so long, and the 'gift' was well prepared, absolutely foolproof. β
"Okay, tell SΓΉ Shadow that if his two guardians get in the way, then complete mission one, not necessarily mission two. Remember, it's hard to have such a good opportunity again after he comes back this time, and the mission must be completed at any cost. β
"Yes, follow the orders of the little master. β
"Alright, stand down. β
The middle-aged man retreated silently, and the private room fell silent.
Through the translucent pale red veil, you can vaguely see a lonely figure leaning lazily on the couch of the graceful and luxurious beauty, as if when the person is alone, everything around him will be dyed with a layer of loneliness, because it is too lonely, so it seems a little melancholy.
I only heard the person behind the veil muttering to himself: "You, you are always guilty of soft-heartedness, if you don't have to save those lowly victims, how can you give me time to make such adequate preparation......s?"
The lonely temperament suddenly changed, and in the laughter full of mockery, there was a kind of arrogance and uninhibitedness
Shore Blue City, the official residence of the city lord.
After a busy day, Di Xue finally rested at this time, and he spent the whole day today in constant running and casting the magic of the origin system.
After leaving Wanghe Town in the morning, Di Xue traveled along the Lanjiang River, passing through nine large and small villages and towns along the way, all of which were flood-stricken villages and towns.
Along the way, even lunch and dinner were eaten immediately, and he had expected to arrive at Binlan City by noon when he set out from outside the fog forest, but when he treated all the sick people in the villages and towns, it was already late at night when he arrived at Binlan City.
The city gate has long been closed, but Di Xue, as the prince, and Captain Richard has the token of the royal guard in hand, so it is naturally not a problem to enter the city.
Even after the city lord of Binlan City heard that he was coming, the city lord who had just been warm up with the city lord's wife and was ready to fall asleep, immediately got out of the bed and got dressed and welcomed Di Xue into the city lord's mansion, which made Di Xue, who felt that he had disturbed other people's dreams, a little embarrassed.
Lying on the comfortable mattress of the City Lord's Mansion, Di Xue pondered the two pieces of news she had learned on the way to heal the victims today.
When he was in Wanghe Town, he had passed by a bar, and in an alley next to the bar, he was keenly aware of a hint of familiarity.
That breath belongs to the people of the Dark Brotherhood.
On the way to find Taylor in the fog forest, he had fought with two members of the Dark Brotherhood, so he was very familiar with the aura of the people of the Dark Brotherhood, although the person he found was well hidden, and the unique dark aura on his body disappeared in a flash, but Di Xue's strong spiritual sense still caught it.
At that time, he did not startle the snake, because the Assassins were the best at hiding and escaping, and he was very careful to ask Captain Richard to quietly inform the personal guards to blockade Wanghe Town, and inform Rongfeng stationed outside the fog forest.
As soon as Di Xue left, Rong Feng, who had gathered his personnel, also led his troops to Wanghe Town, as the largest assassin organization in the mainland, he naturally had a way to search for the hiding place of the people of the Dark Brotherhood.
Since Taylor's attack, the Brotherhood of Light has been scattered in the towns around the Fog Forest in search of the Dark Brotherhood, believing that the Dark Brotherhood must have at least one stronghold in the Westmoon Province.
It's just that because the search force has been relatively scattered, and Rongfeng received an order from Master Herris to keep it secret and not to disturb the people, so he has been secretly searching, trying to play a trick to wait for the rabbit.
After receiving the news of Di Xue today, Rong Feng immediately let go of his hands and feet, turned Wanghe Town upside down, and finally found the hiding place of the Dark Brotherhood under the basement of an ordinary house.
There are four members of the Dark Brotherhood hidden in the stronghold, which should be easy to solve with the power of the Brotherhood of Light, but in the end, the Brotherhood of Light pays a heavy price.
When the stronghold was discovered, four members of the Dark Brotherhood saw that the stronghold was exposed, and the incoming force was strong, and one of the leaders resolutely triggered the ban in the stronghold.
An explosive similar to Dwarven Gunpowder, but much more powerful than Dwarven Gunpowder Willy, blew the stronghold over, killing all six members of the Brotherhood of Light who entered the stronghold, along with the four members of the Brotherhood of Darkness.
Even cultivating to a powerful Rongfeng is also seriously injured.
This is the first news, and the second news is that the Dark Brotherhood assassin named Willy, who was caught by Emperor Snow in the fog forest, is dead.
At that time, Di Xue left Willy's life alive, just to keep him alive and hand him over to the Brotherhood of Light, and the Brotherhood of Light will definitely be able to force some information from his mouth, a living person is much more useful than a dead corpse.
But it takes time to extract a confession, and before the Brotherhood of Light could get half a word out of Willy's mouth, poor Willy had already died violently.
The cause of Willy's death was because of a drug, according to the autopsy of Willy, the Brothers of Light would find that this Willy had been taking a special drug for a long time, this medicine has a very strong toxicity, but it will not attack in a short time, as long as you take the antidote on time, but if you don't take the antidote on time, even if you are a martial artist who cultivates to a deep and powerful body, you can't resist the outbreak of toxicity and die.
Di Xue knew that this was a way to control people, and even this medicine could be made with alchemy, but this type of medicine was very expensive, and it was often only used by some of the most powerful dead soldiers of the big families to prevent their rebellion.
If the assassins who assassinated Taylor had taken this drug, it would have been a big deal...... Di Xue sneered in her heart.
The wrecked magic flying saucer, the assassination in the knight's cemetery, the assassination of Taylor outside the fog forest, the Dark Brotherhood, Willy's powerful strange explosives, these recent events, Di Xue felt that there was some connection in the dark, but for a while, he couldn't sort out what the connection was in everything.
Di Xue sighed lightly and rubbed his eyebrows, using magic to treat hundreds of sick victims today is nothing to his strong and terrifying spiritual power, but he has been using the bachelor-level Yuansheng healing magic, and there are not a few sage-level ones.
But there is still some physical exhaustion, after all, he is just a magician who has been sick and weak since he was a child, even if his physique is slightly better over the years, after a long day of running, he feels a little tired when he relaxes at this time.
These things should be slowly thought about after returning to the Tower of Eternity, and hopefully, the investigation of Emperor Sister Dilan has some results.
With a wave of her hand, Di Xue extinguished the magic candlelight, closed her eyes and fell asleep peacefully
