Chapter Twenty-Five: Two Visits to the Wei Yi Pavilion
"Childe, please go this way. Xiao Er of Fengyuan Inn bowed down and made a gesture of invitation to the man in a gray robe and a hat on his head.
The man with the hat and the little two walked through the noisy lobby, and came to a firewood room in the back hall with both hands, and a pungent smell came to the face, and the firewood in the house was stacked in twos and threes, leaving only a narrow passage to walk around.
"Childe, the little one can only send you here. Xiao Er bowed respectfully, closed the door of the firewood room with both hands and retreated.
The man in the hat walked along the passage to the end of the house, and with one hand reached into a pyre and twisted it gently, there was a "boom" on the wall, and a secret door opened from the bottom up.
The man in the hat bent in, and the fire fold that had been prepared in his hand immediately ignited, and the secret door fell on its own with a "boom". The secret passage inside the door was about one person high, one and a half wide, and the crystal water droplets seeped from the top of the wall, and the melodious sound of ticking and ticking did not match the dark environment.
As if he was familiar with this place, the man walked along the tunnel for about half a cup of tea, and the space that had only a little fire in front of him suddenly became clear.
This is a wide underground stone chamber, and four serpentine stone pillars more than one zhang high are erected around the room, and the brazier supported by the pillar is full of fire, illuminating the entire stone chamber through the sky.
On the ebony chair in the center of the stone room, a black-clothed man with a black scarf leaned forward slightly, his left hand behind his back, and his right hand propped up on his right leg, staring at the man with a fierce face.
"The younger generation has seen the leader of the Hanqi, the gluttonous protector of the law, and the poor and strange protector. The man slowly removed the hat that covered his face, revealing a handsome and slightly dark face, this person was Ye Hu, the son of the master of the White Tiger Courtyard.
"Ye Gongzi, today is not the day of the meeting agreed between you and me, what is there to break the rules?" the man in black asked first.
"This is what I need to ask, the original agreement was to catch Liu Qingyao and Liu Ningshi, but now it's good, but you slaughtered Liu Mansion and Wei Yi Pavilion, making the city full of wind and rain, out of control, why is this?" Ye Hu was still calm.
"Those who dare to resist will be killed, this is our consistent purpose. Han Qi squinted his eyes: "It's a pity that no one killed Liu Yuanzhi and Yuan Jin." β
"Hmph, you didn't kill Liu Yuanzhi and Yuan Jin, and you didn't catch Liu Qingyao and Liu Ningshi, and now your people have actually been arrested by the people of the Tingwei Mansion, so it is not enough to succeed and more than to lose, I need to consider whether to continue to cooperate with you?" Ye Hu paused and continued: "Recently, I have a lot of eyeliner around me, I'm afraid it's your people who are involved." β
"No way, Zhang Dage and the two of them are just some of our peripheral characters, and it is impossible for them to know about your existence. Han denied it.
"Ye Hu, what do you think is something, dare to question us, believe it or not, I will suck your blood dry. He yelled in a gluttonous rage.
"My blood is so cold that I'm afraid it won't be so easy to suck. Ye Hu looked at the roaring gluttony with a smile on his face, just like looking at a clown.
"Look for death. The gluttonous faintly red right palm hit Ye Hu's heart like an eagle's claw.
At the moment when the gluttonous palm was about to touch Ye Hu, he moved, and a sharp knife slashed out, like a wall of qi between the two.
"Gluttony, don't be rude to Ye Gongzi, and don't retreat. Han Qi shouted.
"Hmph, you're in luck. The gluttony was blocked by the strength of the knife, and the palm of one hand was numb from the shock of the air wall, and when he heard the leader's shouting, he hurriedly took the opportunity to go down the stairs and retreated.
"Chief, no matter how much the two people you said know, they can't stay any longer. Ye Hu put away the knife and returned the sheath.
"This Ye Gongzi rest assured, within three days, they will die. Han Qi suddenly laughed and arched his hand: "I heard that Ye Gongzi is going to marry soon, congratulations." β
"There really isn't any secret in Jinling? Ye Hu shook his head a little helplessly: "This is not what I want, why should I be happy?"
In just the past two days, the originally noisy Wei Yi Pavilion has become deserted, with things and people, and the eyes are full of desolate scenes.
Yuan Jin, who was wearing a black cloak draped over a purple shirt, looked at the three words of Wei Post House above the courtyard in front of him in a daze, and the hair that had been tied up was rarely draped over his shoulders, fluttering messily in the wind, showing a trace of girlish tenderness more than before; at this time, her mood was sad, this post house has been more than ten years since it was built; every time he sent an envoy to Qi State, he lived here, which was equivalent to a small piece of Wei land opened up in Qi State, and now there was a bloody case, and this place has become an ominous place, even if the Wei Post House is rebuilt in the future, it will be relocated in other places, and it will become a permanent memoryγ
"Tong Bo, Liu Ningshi has seen the county lord. Just as Yuan Jin was fascinated, there was a greeting from Tong and Liu behind him.
Yuan Jin restrained his emotions for a moment, and his originally slightly sad eyes instantly returned to coldness: "What are you doing here?"
"I had some doubts in my heart and wanted to come and see, but Miss Liu had the same idea as the lowly job, so she came together. Tong Bo made a gesture towards Yuan Jin: "I don't know why the county lord came here alone, but he didn't have the protection of the accompanying guards?"
"The lord of this county has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and even three or five big men can't get close to me, besides, the guards of your Jingwei Mansion can't be trusted, and it is precisely because of their poor protection that the villains will have a chance to take advantage of it, otherwise how could our mission have such a thing?" Thinking of this, the anger in Yuan Jin's chest rose.
"County Lord, please be careful, there are masters in Jinling City, if you are too conceited, you will suffer. Liu Ningshi retorted not to be outdone.
"Oh, master, who is Miss Liu referring to? Could it be yourself? Why don't you have two tricks with the county lord?"
"Hmph, kind donkey liver and lungs. How can this girl be afraid of you?" As soon as Liu Ningshi's words fell, her figure flashed and rushed straight towards Yuan Jin.
I saw that the two graceful postures fought together in an instant, Liu Ningshi's palm technique was virtual and real, and the advance and retreat were well-founded, while Yuan Jin's fist method was guarded and attacked, and the rules were rigorous, and the two of them fist to fist, palm to palm, fighting heartily, and it was difficult to distinguish the winner from defeat.
Tong Bo walked slowly towards the door of Wei Guanyi, carefully examining the positions of the two dead guards that night.
"Xiangyun, you're also on duty for the night. Seeing that the hour is coming, but you are tired, why don't I make a little trick to refresh you. Wen Liang, the guard who came to change shifts, smiled and patted Tong Bo, who was yawning.
"Xiao Liangzi, I didn't think you were good at juggling? Tong Bo suddenly had spirits.
"Xiangyun, can you keep your eyes open and take a good look? My hands don't have anything right now, right? Wen Liang repeatedly shook his palms in front of Tong Bo's eyes.
"Yes, nothing. Do you still want to change something out of thin air?" Tong Bo was surprised in his heart, not knowing how Wenliang was going to change.
"Xiangyun, you can take a look. Wen Liang's two palms first shook pretending to be chaotic, and suddenly his hand flashed in front of Tong Bo's body, and then quickly clenched his fist, and then stretched out, holding a yellow maple leaf between his two fingers.
"When did the blades on my waist get into your hands?" Tong Bo touched his waist and said in surprise.
"Haha, don't say it, don't say it, if you want to say it, what else can I do in the future. Wen Liang handed the maple leaves back to Tong Bo, and said with a smile: "Okay, the time has come, let's change shifts." β
One of the guards who was removed was Wen Liang, who had a good relationship with Tong Bo, and it can be said that in addition to An Dafang, he was the second best person in the mansion with Tong Bo.
I don't know why, Tong Bo looked at the place where Wen Liang was killed, and kept thinking of the scene he tricked himself to see: "By the way, if Wen Liang used the same technique to take something before he was killed that night?"
Tong Bo took two steps forward and bent down, and stroked the position of Wen Liang's guards with his right palm inch by inch: "Hmm, why does the soil here look softer to the touch than other places?"
Tong Bo pulled out his dagger and broke through the dirt one by one, and a dark oval iron plate was displayed in front of him, with bunches of golden wheat waves carved on the front of the token, and the word "agriculture" carved on the back.
"I really told Miss Liu that this should be the object that Wen Liang took from Ge Er before he was killed. Tong Bo's mind flashed repeatedly the scene where Wen Liang quickly punched the token into the dirt before he was in trouble: "This token, but I don't know if it's the kind of token that Ge Er said in his mouth? It is certain that in that case, Zhang Da Ge Er removed the body because he lost the token so that he could find it in the future." It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, but the token is hidden here by Wenliang. β
"Two girls, the competition is over so soon?" Tong Bo heard that two steps, one heavy and one light, came from behind him, and he knew that the second girl had walked towards him.
"Brother Xiangyun is really determined, isn't he worried about us at all?" Liu Ningshi said angrily.
"What's there to worry about, you two are just learning martial arts, not deciding life and death. Tong Bo smiled calmly.
"How can you see it?" Yuan Jin seemed to have some interest in Tong Bo.
Although the two girls made violent moves, Bo could see that they were using ordinary tricks, and they stopped at the point, and did not make any killing moves. Tong Bo took a deep breath: "It's the county lord, the black fist is too heavy, and the woman's cultivation is not very good after all." β
"It's not about you. Yuan Jin turned his head away and ignored Tong Bo.
"Oh, I didn't think that Brother Dao Xiangyun would care about people. Liu Ningshi looked at Tong Bo with a smile.
"Death is sometimes easy, but living to suffer is a hard and painful thing. Tong Bo's lazy and deep eyes looked up into the air.
The two girls heard Tong Bo sigh, and they stopped talking in a daze, the ups and downs in their hearts may only be understood by themselves, and the air was so quiet that they could hear a needle falling on the ground.
"Did I say something wrong again?" Tong Bo saw that the atmosphere was wrong, and hurriedly changed the topic: "When the two of them were just talking, I made a new discovery, and I invited the county lord and Miss Liu into the house to talk." β
