Since Lei Biao took Su He and the others away from the Long'an Inn, the tense atmosphere was suddenly much more relaxed, and the inn gradually returned to its previous hustle.

In order to thank Ding San for his generosity, Liu Xunyi did not embarrass him anymore, but also took the initiative to invite him to drink, nominally thanking, but in fact, Liu Xunyi wanted to inquire about some news about the Jade Dragon Palace of Tianshan from Ding San's mouth.

Liu Xunyi has just arrived, and he is not familiar with the place, but Ding San has been working here for many years, and he must be familiar with all the things in the Jade Dragon Palace. Instead of stumbling around like a headless fly, it is better to ask for some useful clues from Ding San.

Ding San is also a person who does not refuse to come, and he was in awe of Liu Xunyi just now, but after three glasses of wine, he quickly became acquainted, and without waiting for Liu Xunyi to ask one by one, he began to take the initiative to talk to Liu Xunyi with the strength of wine, and there were many things about the Jade Dragon Palace.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, the two chatted while drinking, but they still didn't know it until late at night.

Ding San, whose face was flushed, spat out the smell of wine in his mouth, affectionately pulled Liu Xunyi's arm, and mocked vaguely: "Little brother, do you know who that Cao Gongzi is? That is the little overlord of Huodu City, he knows how to eat, drink and have fun all day long, and he can't do anything, in short, he can't do anything, it's all because his father is the hall master of the Jade Tiger Hall, he can be domineering in Huodu, in fact, ...... In fact, there are many people in Huodu City who don't like him, who said that it must have been done by outsiders? Maybe it was kidnapped by people in the city. ”

"It is said that the tiger father has no dogs, and the master of Cao Tang gave birth to such a son, but I am afraid that I will break my heart. Liu Xunyi echoed quietly.

"Who said it wasn't?" Ding San squinted his eyes and shook his head and said, "But there is no way, who let Hall Master Cao be such a precious son, who doesn't hurt him?" When he was a child, he disciplined a few words, but then he let it go, anyway, with Hall Master Cao's ability and status, even if this kid is a cripple, the Cao family is enough for him to squander and enjoy a lifetime of squandering and enjoying food. This is called that no matter how capable a person is, he is not as comfortable as a fool who can be reincarnated. Hey...... By the way, do you know what kind of place Xianglou is that day?"

"I think it should be the land of smoke and willows, right?" Liu Xunyi smiled.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Ding San's eyes widened, and he nodded again and again, "Tianxiang Mansion is full of who can seduce men, how do you know? Could it be that you have been there too, little brother?"

Liu Xunyi smiled bitterly: "You said that this Cao Gongzi was kidnapped in the early hours of this morning, and ordinary people should still be sleeping at this hour." The Jade Tiger Hall is in Huodu, and it is impossible for Cao Gongzi to spend the night in the inn without returning home, so the Tianxiang Building that can make him linger can only be a green building. ”

"Smart! If it weren't for the gentle township who hugged left and right, what man would spend the night in Tianxianglou?" Ding San raised his wine glass and saluted Liu Xunyi, "Little brother is really a smart person, a little bit can be penetrated, I can see it just now, with your ability and conversation, you are definitely not those mediocre people, let alone some bullshit coolie, you must be doing great things when you come to Huodu." Hey hey ......"

Regarding Ding San's speculation, Liu Xunyi did not answer directly, but raised his wine glass and touched Ding San lightly, and then drank it all.

"Little brother. Ding San leaned towards Liu Xunyi, lowered his voice, and asked solemnly, "You tell me the truth, what are you coming to Huodu for?"

"Earn two drinks ...... money"

"Are you bluffing me?" Without waiting for Liu Xunyi to finish speaking, Ding San waved his hand, looking like he was excited, and said to himself, "We don't know each other, brother, I treat you as a friend, but you refuse to tell me the truth, it's boring!

"Where did Brother Ding come from?" Liu Xunyi pretended to be aggrieved and asked, "Why didn't I tell you the truth?"

Ding San narrowed his eyes slightly, pulled Liu Xunyi's hand, then stretched out one of his fingers, slowly wrote a few words in Liu Xunyi's palm, and then smiled mysteriously: "You are here for it." ”

When Liu Xunyi recognized the words written by Ding San on his palm, his face changed suddenly, and it was clearly the words "shocking wind and rain".

Liu Xunyi was speechless for a long time, but stared at Ding San solemnly, he would definitely not admit it easily until he figured out Ding San's true purpose.

On the other hand, Ding San grinned, let go of Liu Xunyi's hand, and said in a low voice: "A master of the Central Plains like you would come to the Western Regions for no reason?

"How did you know that this thing was in Huodu?" asked Liu Xunyi tentatively.

"There is nothing I Ding San doesn't know about Huo Du. Ding San put on an arrogant posture, put the meat dish in his mouth, and said with a smile, "It's just that some things have nothing to do with me, I don't bother to care." ”

Facing Liu Xunyi's puzzled gaze, Ding San smiled, stepped forward, and said in a low voice: "Actually, I have a little brother who works on an errand in the Jade Tiger Hall, and he mentioned to me that the master of the Cao Hall has been away from the Jade Tiger Hall for many days, and no one knows where he has gone. As far as I know, Hall Master Cao would not leave Huo Du for half a step easily, and he must have an ulterior secret after leaving for so long this time. After that, there was news in the Central Plains that someone was in the Lufu in Jiangnan and snatched the storm map in public. Not long after, the master of the Cao hall came back inexplicably, and I counted eight or nine in terms of time, so I guess that the eight achievements of this matter were done by the master of the Cao hall. ”

After listening to Ding San's words silently, Liu Xunyi's mind once again resurfaced the three members of the Mo Cen family who died tragically in Lu Mansion that day, and secretly said in his heart: "It turns out that the man in black who refuses to let go even the baby is Cao Qin, the hall master of the Jade Tiger Hall. Thinking of this, Liu Xunyi's right hand subconsciously clenched into a fist, and then there was a crisp "click", and he accidentally crushed the wine glass.

Ding San saw Liu Xunyi's reaction like this, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he was about to speak, but he heard Liu Xunyi ask in a flat tone: "You dare to assert that the frightening wind and rain map is in Huodu based on these alone?" Although Liu Xunyi was quite emotional about Ding San's roughness and fineness, he still did not let go easily.

"Not exactly. Ding Sandao, "But I found that there are a lot more people in the rivers and lakes in Huodu during this period of time than before, the so-called things go out of the ordinary must have demons, why are there so many masters coming to Huodu for no reason? There must be something hooking them, then what do you say can attract these people from the rivers and lakes and go to thousands of miles without hesitation? Of course, it is the picture that was snatched away not long ago." Hey hey ......"

Liu Xunyi kept thinking about Ding San's words in his heart, and seemed to hear some clues from them, and asked: "You said that there were many people from the rivers and lakes who came to Huodu during this time?"

"For example, aren't you, and those Mongolians just now, from Chifengling?" Ding San said bluntly, "There are still some people ......"

"Is there still a group of people from the Western Regions?" Liu Xunyi suddenly thought of Xun Qin, and subconsciously asked.

"There are too many people in and out of the Western Regions in Huodu, I don't know who you are talking about?" Ding San asked rhetorically.

"That's it...... There was a woman ......" Liu Xunyi explained while recalling Xun Qin's appearance, "He is young and very beautiful......

Ding San couldn't help but have a wicked smile on his face when he heard this, and said: "There are actually a lot of beautiful women in Huodu, but in the past two days, there has really been a fairy-like beauty. Compared with her, those vulgar fans of Tianxianglou are simply unsightly. I heard that the master of the Cao Hall wanted to find an opportunity to invite her into the Jade Tiger Hall, hehe...... It's just that his baby son suddenly had an accident, which made him dispel this idea. ”

"It's her!" Liu Xunyi had seen Xun Qin's appearance with his own eyes, and naturally knew that her appearance was definitely an extremely eye-catching kind in Huodu City.

Ding San smashed his mouth, shook his head again and again, and said, "Isn't it, that fairy is from the Middle Plains like you, and she is not from the Western Regions." ”

Liu Xunyi was stunned when he heard this, and muttered to himself with stunned eyes: "Zhongyuan? Did I say it wrong? Or did Ding San see it wrong?"

"Now it's your turn to tell me. Ding San smiled evilly, leaned in front of Liu Xunyi, and asked expectantly, "Are you here for that thing?"

Liu Xunyi put down his wine glass and said with a smile: "Didn't you say that there are some things that have nothing to do with you, don't you bother to care? Why are you so curious about me now?"

"It's good!" Ding San's neck straightened, and the word "benefit" was written on his face, "Who will do anything that is not beneficial?"

"What do you mean?" Liu Xunyi obviously didn't understand Ding San's words, "Do you want that picture?"

Ding San said with a smile: "I heard that the picture hides the treasure of the Jin Kingdom, if you can find it, wouldn't you be rich overnight......?"

Liu Xunyi smiled undeniably and said with a wry smile: "It is possible to get rich overnight, or it is possible to lose a small life overnight." ”

"So I'm not greedy. Ding San hurriedly took a stand and said, "I didn't expect to get that thing, but I can make a deal with you outsiders." Although you don't know about the Jade Dragon Palace, I know a lot of things, as long as you are willing to give me some benefits, I will help you find out the news. After that, Ding San also squeezed his eyes at Liu Xunyi, as if to say that it was definitely worth it to ask him for help.

Liu Xunyi sneered: "Just now, a Lei Biao scared your face pale, why should you help others?"

"I'm not very bold, but I have a way. Ding San smiled mysteriously, "At least I can inquire about the Jade Tiger Hall and that picture for you, if you are blind in Huodu with your eyes black, can you find that picture?" As he spoke, Ding San suddenly put on an outdated appearance and said in a low voice, "I can tell you, three days later will be the Jade Dragon Festival, and at that time, all the famous and surnamed characters in the Three Banners and Twelve Halls of the Jade Dragon Palace will gather in Datianchi to celebrate the birthday of the Jade Dragon Palace Master." Hall Master Cao will definitely take this picture up the mountain that day, once this picture enters the Jade Dragon Palace, then even the Heavenly King Lao Tzu will not want to get it again. So...... If you want to ask me for help, you have to hurry up, after this village, there will be no such shop! For the sake of our fate, you give me 1,000 taels of gold, and I will help you find the map, how about it?"

"I really underestimated you. Liu Xunyi stared at Ding San with a smile, and Ding San looked at Liu Xunyi expectantly, as if he was waiting for Liu Xunyi to ask him for help, but he never expected Liu Xunyi to suddenly change his words, and said with a light smile: "It's a pity that you really found the wrong person this time, whether it's the Jade Tiger Hall or the stormy map, I'm not interested." ”

Under Ding San's slightly disappointed gaze, Liu Xunyi slowly got up, waved his hand and threw a few copper plates on the table, and smiled at Ding San: "I'm drunk, I'm drunk, I'm going back to sleep." It's fate that we can drink together tonight, I invited this wine, but take your Qin Banliang back, I'm really blessed, haha......"

After that, without waiting for Ding San to speak again, Liu Xunyi was already carrying a sword and staggering towards the upstairs guest room. And when Liu Xunyi left, Ding San's drunken and hazy face inadvertently showed a trace of intriguing eccentricity.

As the hour passed, there was silence in the Long'an Inn, and the bustling lobby was now empty. Only a faint candle flame on the counter provided the last touch of dusk for the lobby, and the little two who kept vigil could not bear the sleepiness and fell asleep on the table.

In the dimness, a black shadow suddenly flashed out of the guest room on the second floor, and flew into the lobby, landing on the ground without making the slightest sound. Immediately, the figure flickered, and the whole person swept out of the inn door like a gust of wind.

Under the moonlight, the man in black galloped through the streets of Huodu, covering his face with a black scarf and only revealing a pair of deep and clear eyes, and the owner of these eyes was Liu Xunyi, who should have been drunk and sleeping soundly in bed.
