Rice shop.

The rain had overflowed the steps, and the drainage canals of the small street had fallen into disrepair, and under such pouring rain it was no longer able to drain the rainwater into the river outside the city, but began to "gurgle" upwards.

And as the wooden door was gently knocked, the guy in the rice shop walked into the courtyard with an umbrella and shouted outside: "Coming...... Who?"

No one responded outside, as if the knock had never existed.

After a while, there was another knock on the wooden door, and the man became vigilant, stood in front of the door, and asked again, "Who?"

Then there was a sigh from outside the door, and an indifferent voice said, "That's why I've always hated dealing with rats." ”

The man's pupils shrank sharply, and he reached out to pull out his dagger from his waist, but a dagger reached through the crack in the door at a much faster speed than he had imagined.

The wooden door opened, and there was a man standing outside the door, his face could not be seen clearly in the night, and the big black umbrella covered the rain and the sky.

The shadow seemed to wrap around him and refused to leave, leaving only the glowing dagger in his hand that shone in the thunder.

The guy screamed, turned his head and ran, but it was not because of fear or greed for life and fear of death, but because he had already understood that he was definitely not the opponent of the person in front of him, and he wanted to pass the news to the cellar and let Jing Yu and the others prepare.

The dagger slashed through the air, striking him in the shoulder with a buzzing sound, the pain sending him to the ground, splashing with mud, and the man standing in the doorway lowered the man under his armpit and covered him with a large black umbrella.

"Tell the people inside that the person they were waiting for has returned. Then he turned and stepped into the rain, and in an instant he vanished.

"Who sent it?" When Jing Yu and the others walked out of the door and saw clearly that the person lying under the big black umbrella turned out to be Qin Ke, they were overjoyed and shocked at the same time, obviously everyone thought that this kid was still in the palace, but why did he come back quiet......ly? Or was it sent back by someone else......

"I don't know. "The guy was holding the wounded position, and the dagger was still in his shoulder bone," he did not say who he was. ”

Gao Yishui and Jing Yu glanced at each other, and there was a little distraction of shock in their eyes.

Since he was able to send Qin Ke here, it was obvious that the person knew everything about this place, but since he didn't explain his identity, he was obviously not his own person, so wouldn't they, the people who were hiding in the rice shop, already be exposed?

Jing Yu thought with a wry smile, but he thought that this rice shop was extremely safe, but now it seems that he is still too narrow-minded, there are many heroes in the world, where are there so many assumptions?

"Go down. Jing Yu looked at the position of his injury and said, "Take care of the wound, don't get the Seven Days Wind." ”

"Yes. The man bowed his hand respectfully, and then walked to the rice shop with his wound covered.

Gao Yishui picked up Qin Ke from the ground, looked at him sleeping, and couldn't help but mock: "It's not worry-free for a night, but it really makes you turn evil into good fortune, it's really unexpected." ”

"I took him upstairs. "Gao Yi Shui to Jing Yu Road.

Looking at Gao Yishui's back, Jing Yu sighed and said, "This rice shop can't stay any longer......"

The guy on the side shook his shoulder, bowed his head and said, "Yes." ”

Jing Yu analyzed in his heart: Maybe there is no need to rush for a while, since that person will send Qin Ke back, at least it proves that they don't want to be our enemy, and even at some point in the future, they can still have some contact.

But then he denied his idea again, frowned and sighed: "No, I'm still too young, I shouldn't be so lucky." Those who are lucky are gamblers. Now that he can find this rice shop, he has obviously figured out the root of our espionage. Not to mention this rice shop, even if that person has a thought, he can uproot us, but it seems that the person doesn't have such an idea now. For the sake of today, he should still close the rice shop first, so as to prevent other people from following him to find out here. ”

Jing Yu instructed the guys around him: "Go, hurry up and prepare, the rice shop will be transferred to the Wang shopkeeper of Fuhuan Restaurant, the ...... we talked about before"

"Understood!" the man nodded smartly, and despite the pouring rain, he ran out of the door with an umbrella.

Jing Yu told another guy next to him: "After closing the rice shop, we must reorganize the system of the entire Ding'an City, streamline it as much as possible, and reduce the chance of news leakage." He looked at the heavy rain, and there was some coldness in his voice, "Although that person has no hostility towards us for the time being, we have never had the rule of putting our own people's lives and deaths in the hands of others. ”

"Yes. "Dude.

When Qin Ke woke up, the heavy rain had not stopped.

There were no windows open in the familiar room, but some rain could be seen slowly sliding down through the cracks.

So he began to suspect that he was dreaming, after all, he had already had one messy dream after another before this.

Some dreams are that he returned to his childhood, a golden pancake with a burden of gold fell from the sky, arrived in front of his father and mother, and handed the flatbread over with an almost majestic momentum.

Sometimes they saw the big fish that they had dreamed of again, but it suddenly broke through the water, grew wings, and out of the flesh and feathers came out, and became a big bird that could not be seen as far as the eye could see......

How do fish become birds?

His mind was a little messy, but he still sorted out the memories that he should still be in the palace, and then looked at the room that was obviously in the rice shop, and muttered with a headache: "I guess I still haven't woken up, I'll sleep for a while." ”

Qin Ke didn't know why he was still asleep in such a dangerous place as the palace, but he still closed his eyes.

But soon, a hand scratched his cheek, Qin Ke was a little annoyed, waved his hand, and didn't open his eyes, just hummed softly: "Don't be noisy, I don't want to dream anymore, I want to wake up and leave this ghost place quickly." ”

Gao Yishui couldn't help laughing and slapped him hard on the buttocks.

"Ah...... "Although the cultivator's body is strong, it doesn't mean that he won't feel pain, Gao Yishui's slap used a lot of strength, and he suddenly jumped up from the bed.

"Are you really sleepy?" Gao Yishui said with a smile: "Anyway, I have been lying down for half an hour, and if I lie down again, I will go to the north of the city to order a coffin for you." ”

Qin Ke's eyes widened and he looked at Gao Yishui in front of him, and touched his aching buttocks again-hiss, it seems that you don't feel pain when you dream, right?

"Old Gao......" Qin Ke chirped: "I...... It's ......"

"Don't look at it, it's me, you're really in the rice shop now!" Gao Yishui said angrily: "I didn't stop all night, do you remember how you came back?"

"I ......" Gao Yishui's question stopped him, he had too many dreams, and his mind was a little confused, and he was ignorant for a while, and he couldn't remember many things.

Pulling the quilt, Qin Ke sat down, as if he was talking to himself, and after a while, he slowly sorted out some of the chaotic parts: "When am I...... When...... Palace...... Oh yes, the Taishi Bureau......"

"That's right, Taishi Bureau!" the tall figure of the old man came to mind again, his pupils shrank sharply, he finally remembered, and the sharp pain that made him faint seemed to return to him at this moment.

He gasped for breath, even suspecting that the old man's fingers were still embedded in his chest, and hurriedly ripped off his clothes.

The clothes had been changed into new linen clothes, which Gao Yishui helped him change into when he was asleep.

But underneath that garment...... It is smooth skin.

Not even a single wound......

Fair and smooth skin.
