Chapter 15: Night Talk

Du Xi'er's expression was lonely again: "But Shopkeeper Le said that my master went to Jiangnan, and I don't understand why my master went to Jiangnan." ”

Dugu Jingru was struck by lightning: "Are you talking about the owner of the Ethereal Building, Le Zheng Shangle, the shopkeeper?"

Du Xi'er nodded and said: "Yes, who else can there be besides him, Shopkeeper Le seems to be old friends with Master, I was in the Ethereal Building with my Master before I went to Qianhe Villa, and before that, Shopkeeper Le was still drinking with Master." ”

Dugujing was extremely surprised: "However, Shopkeeper Le clearly celebrated my grandfather's birthday at my house at noon, and sat at the same table as my grandfather." If the owner of the Qin Valley who came here is fake, why doesn't the shopkeeper say it?"

Du Xi'er was nearly a head shorter than Dugujing, looking at Dugujing in the dark at the moment, she finally understood why she was subconsciously guarding against Le Zhengshang at that time, the reason was very simple, he didn't mention the things that had spread all over the rivers and lakes, he knew that the master of Qingu who went to celebrate the birthday of the alliance leader was fake, but he never said it.

Du Xi'er said: "Le's shopkeeper is not credible." ”

Dugujing asked, "What happened when you went to the Ethereal Building today?"

So Du Xi'er told in detail what happened between today's arrival in the Miao Building and his departure, and in the middle, Dugujing asked directly if he had any questions, and after half an hour, it can be said that all the details were not missed, and the book was asked clearly.

After speaking, Du Xi'er looked at Dugujing, who was groaning, thinking that he was going to say something, but he said: "Miss Qin is really scheming, she told me everything about the hidden illness of the Lord of Qin Valley." ”

Du Xi'er was stunned and said: "This matter is not important, what does it matter to tell you." ”

Dugu Jing opened the topic and said: "From this point of view, the shopkeeper Le must have a connection with the Detention Immortal Mansion or the Lord of the Fake Qin Valley, and he must also be involved in this matter." ”

Du Xi'er asked, "The person who is pretending to be my master is also related to the Detention Immortal Pavilion?"

Dugu nodded: "This is natural, although it is said that my grandfather is the target of the Immortal Pavilion, but it is absolutely impossible for that person to pretend to be the master of Qin Valley today without ideas." If the purpose of the Detention Immortal Pavilion is my grandfather, then what is the purpose of the person pretending to be the Lord of the Qin Valley?"

Du Xi'er said: "If my master is on the scene, he will definitely be able to save the Dugu Alliance Master." ”

This sentence reminded Dugujing: "By the way, that person also saved my grandfather, if it wasn't for that person's action, my grandfather would have ...... on the spot" said this, his expression was gloomy.

Du Xi'er comforted: "You...... Don't be too sad, when you find my master, you will definitely help the Dugu Alliance Master avenge it. ”

Dugu nodded and continued: "In the eyes of you or the Qin Valley Lord, there is nothing wrong with saving people, but what did that person save my grandfather for, and he specially used the identity of the Qin Valley Lord. Yes, his purpose is obvious, he said it himself. ”

Du Xi'er asked, "What is the purpose of saying it yourself?"

Dugu Jing said: "He gave the Xuanwu Double Dagger as a congratulatory gift, and asked my grandfather to agree to him to participate in the martial arts conference two years later." ”

Without waiting for Du Xi'er to ask, Dugujing explained: "The last martial arts conference was six years ago, and it was also the first time that almost all factions in the rivers and lakes participated in the conference, and my grandfather was elected as the leader of the Lin League in that martial arts conference. Originally, the martial arts conference was planned to be held once every ten years, but my grandfather considered that he was old, so he advanced the time by two years, and this move was also praised by various factions of the martial arts. ”

Du Xi'er nodded and said: "The leader of the Dugu Alliance is a martial arts predecessor, and my master has also expressed his admiration. ”

Dugu Jing said: "Well, because the next martial arts conference will definitely re-choose the ownership of the martial arts alliance leader, so the person who pretends to be the master of the Qin Valley is for the position of the martial arts alliance leader?"

He also said: "He colluded with the Detention Immortal Pavilion - maybe he is the person of the Detention Immortal Pavilion - the Detention Immortal Pavilion has helped the imperial court to exterminate the martial arts sect many times, if he can get the position of the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, the Detention Immortal Pavilion will definitely be like a bamboo." ”

Du Xi'er said: "But even if my master arrives, he may not be able to get the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance." ”

Dugu Jing pondered for a moment: "So in addition to using the fame of the Qin Valley Lord, he must have a backhand." For example, to attract the support of more Jianghu sects, Ethereal Building is one of them, so Le Zhengshang will hide something. ”

Du Xi'er said angrily: "The top priority now is to find my master, and this matter still needs to go to the Miao Building to find the shopkeeper." ”

Dugu Jing said: "Miss Qin, do you still call him the shopkeeper?"

Du Xi'er asked, "What's wrong?"

Dugu Jing said with a strange face: "Do you know what kind of habits this Le Zhengshang has?"

Du Xi'er shook his head, he knew too little about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and only knew about the past events of some big gangs.

Dugujing's face was embarrassed, and he hesitated for a moment and said: "The cold wind breaks the willows and does not empty the arrows, the iron spear folds the fan with Fang Fei, the drunk infatuated pipa song, and the arrogant sword sleeps in the rain and snow." These poems list the twelve people in the rivers and lakes who are as famous as their martial arts, among which this 'Companion Fangfei' refers to Le Zhengshang, the shopkeeper of the Ethereal Building. ”

Du Xi'er asked, "So what, is there my master here?"

Dugujing shook his head and said: "No, the master of the Qin Valley is really special, and the younger generations of the rivers and lakes have never heard of it. And the people mentioned in the verses are people who have no sect and no sect, and if there is a sect, everyone can directly call such and such a sect. ”

Du Xi'er said: "The 'master of the ethereal building' can also be called, and the ethereal building can be regarded as a sect?"

Dugu Jing said: "The ethereal building was established for a short time, this poem was arranged by a senior many years ago, others only thought that he was listed at random, but he himself said that the poems were arranged according to martial arts from low to high, and later this senior was chased and killed by the 'cold wind' who was ranked first at the beginning. ”

Knowing that the topic was far away, Dugu Jing said: "Don't say anything else, just talk about this 'Companion Fangfei', I heard that Le Zhengshang is lewd, especially likes young and beautiful women, and there must be beautiful women to sleep every night, and listen to friends...... It is said that Le Zhengshang has quirks and often asks women to accompany him, so he is named 'Companion Fangfei'. ”

Dugujing's words were not explicit, but how could Du Xi'er not understand, and scolded: "What a well-dressed scumbag." ”

Dugujing scratched his head, looking embarrassed. What he didn't say was that Le Zhengshang was hearty and dignified, and many women took the initiative to serve, and there were many envious people who had mentioned this matter before among their peers.

Du Xi'er said coldly: "Le Zhengshang deceived my master and colluded with the Immortal Pavilion, it seems that if you want to find my master, you can only start from the Ethereal Building." ”

Dugu nodded and said: "Yes, but there are many guards in the Ethereal Building, and there is a saying that 'the Ethereal Building enters, the enemy in the world is extinct', and the people in the rivers and lakes dare not use weapons in the Ethereal Building, so we have to think long-term." ”

Du Xi'er frowned: "Then what should I do, sneak in from the lake in the backyard." As he spoke, he looked at the brightly lit ethereal building.

There is a water pavilion built on the water in the backyard of the ethereal building, and the shore is curved, and the lights in the backyard can be seen from the place where you stand at this moment.

Dugu Jing raised his forehead and said: "Then how can it be called sneaking in, the backyard is too far from the shore, there is no way." The shore where land and water meet is the weak point of the ethereal building, but it is also the place where the defensive patrol is the most tight. Le Zhengshang must have been able to let Miss Qin leave, because he didn't expect Miss Qin to meet me, but Miss Qin was still in the dark, so Miss Qin, you must not let him know, let alone fall into his hands. ”

Du Xi'er pinched the long whip on her waist with a cold gaze, she just wanted to tie up Le Zhengshang to ask Qin Guiyu's whereabouts now.

Dugujing didn't know what she was thinking, but she stared at the ethereal building in the distance for a while, suddenly turned her head and left, and hurriedly chased after her and asked, "Miss Qin, what are you doing?" ”

Du Xi'er said: "Break into the ethereal building." ”

Dugu Jing was taken aback: "Don't do it, I just said that there are many guards in the ethereal building and you can't do it." ”

Du Xi'er gritted her teeth and said: "There is no time to delay, I don't know where the master is now, what kind of situation is in the master's place, if the master has an accident, I ......"

Dugujing stopped Du Xi'er and said, "I understand, I hope that Miss Qin will not be impulsive." If anyone can know the cause and effect of all this happening today, Le Zhengshang is definitely one of them, and he must find Le Zhengshang to calculate this account well, but not now. ”

Du Xi'er seemed to be the same as when she saw her in the daytime, her expression was calm and cold: "When will it be!"

Dugu Jing said: "Tonight, Zishi." ”

Du Xi'er was stunned for a moment, and Dugujing continued: "It is estimated that there are still one or two hours, we can make some preparations in advance, although there is no perfect strategy, but at least we can ensure that we can retreat with our whole body, and the green mountains left behind are not afraid of no firewood." ”

Du Xi'er bit her lip and said, "Okay, listen to you." ”

Dugu nodded and said, "First find an inn as a place to rest, and prepare some necessities, such as night clothes." ”

When he spoke, he went first and led Du Xi'er through the streets and alleys, night clothes were not something that could be bought casually on the street, so he found a few dark clothes instead. As for the weapon, it is more convenient, there are many people in the rivers and lakes of the state city, and you can buy it by finding a blacksmith shop, Dugu Jingze changed a short crutch, and then found her a long sword according to Du Xi'er's request. In the end, I found an inn to rest until the time of the child.

The time is approaching, the two jumped out of the inn in advance, and walked the streets and alleys again under the leadership of Dugujing, this time they walked the streets with sparse residents and the alleys where they couldn't see their fingers, and when they encountered a dead end, they went directly over the wall, and I don't know how long it took, the two returned to the inn when they set off, this time with only one room.

In the room, Du Xi'er was puzzled, and Dugu Jing said: "On the way, I am explaining, now I will hide all the items that can be recognized in the room, and after hiding them, we will set off to go to the Ethereal Building." ”

Du Xi'er nodded and hid the long whip and the letter written by Qin Guiyu under the bed, and Dugu Jing also put the jade flute and the Xuanwu double dagger together.

On the way, Dugu Jing said: "Now the entire Lizhou City knows that the Xuanwu Double Dagger is in my hand, and I secretly don't know how many people are staring at it, and no one is close to the shore with a wide field of vision, but maybe I have been targeted by someone as soon as I entered the street, and this is also just in case." ”

Du Xi'er asked, "Then why did you put the clothes in the original room?"

Dugu Jing said with a smile: "Let the people who go in and rummage think that I have carried the dagger with me, if the room is clean and there is nothing, they will know that I have found someone following." ”

Du Xi'er said: "I see, the master said that the rivers and lakes are sinister, and it turns out that people's hearts are really so complicated. ”

Dugujing was silent, he used to listen to these as stories, and this was the first time he really used them. used to live under the wings of the alliance leader, but now it is also the first question to truly experience the sinister rivers and lakes.
