Chapter Seventy-Four: Purposelessness

"I don't know where Limei is now?" Yu Zhong paced in the courtyard, his heart was full of white glass, and he had no leisure to admire the brocade flowers and embroidered grass in this courtyard.

Lin Hui didn't know when, but came behind him and said, "Brother Yu, don't worry, the white girl has the protection of Master Peng Sanzhuang, and she will definitely arrive smoothly." ”

"Well, thank you Brother Lin, by the way, I agreed with Limei that if she arrives in Xijing Mansion, she will leave a plum blossom mark outside the door of the inn where she stays, and I will bother the brothers of the Red Gang, so pay more attention. Yu Zhong said.

"Don't worry, I'll leave this matter to me, and I'll find a way to meet Helan Ziqing first, hand over the letter from the Linghu Gang Leader to him, and see what help he can provide us. Lin Hui said.

"Then please Brother Lin. Yu Zhong said.

As soon as Lin Hui left on the front foot, Yu Rong and Feiyan came on the back foot.

"Big brother, let's go out for a walk together, it's the first time I've come to a city as big as Xijing, and you didn't take me with you last time you went to Central Kyoto. Feiyan said.

Yu Zhong thought to himself, it's good to go out for a walk, and by the way, take a look at any news of white glass.

"Why are you going out shopping, and you still have your sword with you, put them all back. Feiyan said repeatedly, in fact, she just wanted her two brothers to help her carry things, and after saying that, she snatched the remaining sword and put it back in the house.

"I'd better take it with me, in case something happens like something halfway, I've got a good guy to take advantage of. Yu Rong said.

"Okay, then the little brother will carry the sword, if there is danger, it is up to you to protect me and the big brother." Feiyan grabbed the rest of her arm with one hand and said with a hippie smile.

The roads in the city were built very wide, all to facilitate the rapid passage of the army, and the architectural pattern of the whole city was also built in this principle. If you stand at this end of the street, you can see the other side of the street at a glance, if you don't consider your height......

Walking on the streets, you can see sergeants patrolling everywhere, and from time to time you will check some pedestrians on the road.

There are also many warriors who know at a glance that they are practicing the family, and most of them have one thing in common, they all have objects with Helan's family crest on their bodies, or tassels on weapons, or embroidery on clothes, or pendants they wear.

In such a city, if someone dares to be a traitor, I am afraid that they will find death, so the security of Xijing Mansion is the best place in the country, and every family does not close their doors at night.

The three of them turned a few corners, went out of the alley, and came to the wide street.

"Big brother, look, what is that palatial palace courtyard in front of you. Feiyan asked, pointing to the distance.

Yu Zhong looked in the direction of Yu Feiyan's finger, and saw that at the far end of the road, there was a magnificent courtyard.

"That won't be the Helan family, I'm afraid the prince's mansion in the capital is nothing more than that. Yu Rong sighed.

The three of them walked all the way, and Feiyan bought and bought all the way.

"Hey, my legs are sore, there is a teahouse in front, why don't we go and rest and have a cup of tea." Yu Rong said.

"Yes, Feiyan, you've already bought so many things, we're not here to go shopping in Xijing. Yu Zhong also said.

Seeing that the two brothers said this, Feiyan had no choice but to give up, and the three of them found a teahouse and drank tea to rest.

"Yo, the three guest officers are here, please go upstairs to the private room. Xiao Er shouted loudly.

"This teahouse in Xijing Mansion is really magnificent, compared to our small teahouse in Jiangzhou, it is like a roadside stall. Feiyan looked around at the environment of the teahouse and exclaimed.

Yu Zhong and Yu Rong carried large bags and small bags, and just wanted to hurry upstairs and put down their things first.

"Little second brother, if you have any good tea and snacks, just come up. Yu Zhong said.

"Miss Childe is a foreigner, why don't you try the famous gospel tea in our teahouse. Xiao Er recommended.

"It's funny to hear the name, okay, that's it. Yu replied.

After a while, Xiao Er brought tea and snacks. The three of them picked up the teacup and tasted it, this tea was very fragrant, with a hint of bitterness when it first entered, and it was tasted in the throat, and there was a hint of sweetness, which was really very distinctive.

"Three, how about this tea. The little second brother asked on the side.

"Good tea, but why is this tea called gospel tea?" asked Yu Zhong curiously.

"The guest officer doesn't know, this tea is made of the unique gynostemma in the surrounding area of Xijing Prefecture, with the local high-quality hair tip, this gynostemma is also known as the gospel grass, long-term drinking, can prolong life, so it is called gospel tea. Xiao Er shook his head and shook to the ground.

"I see, by the way, I still have something to ask the second brother, is this Helan family's mansion a huge courtyard at the end of this road?"

"This guest officer, you said, that is the Helan family's mansion, also known as the Crane Garden, or the plaque written by the prefect himself. Xiao Er said enthusiastically.

"Then thank you, little second brother. You go ahead and get busy. After Yu Zhong finished speaking, he gave Xiao Er some scattered silver as tea money and tips, and Xiao Er returned with great gratitude.

"A martial arts family, not only has a prominent status in the rivers and lakes, but also can get the courtesy of the imperial court, and the Helan family is also unique. Yu Zhong said.

"The plaque of our family is still given by the emperor. Feiyan said unconvinced.

"Our father is different, his old man himself is from the army. Yu Zhong said.

After the three of them finished drinking tea and walked all the way back, Yu Zhong always felt that someone was following them behind him.

Yu Zhong coughed dryly twice, giving Yu Rong and Feiyan a wink. The three of them quickened their pace, detoured several paths in a row, and suddenly turned into an uninhabited alley. The person following behind him also quickened his pace and hurriedly followed.

"Hey, what about people?" the stalker muttered to himself, he was obviously following very closely, why did the remaining three suddenly disappear. Seeing that the people did not follow the people, they turned around twice and left.

"Big brother, who is this person and why is he following us. Feiyan asked.

"Who knows, it must be the same group of people who ambushed us in the canyon. Yu replied.

It turned out that after the three of them turned into the alley, they immediately jumped and hid on the roof of the courtyard on the side, and the stalker seemed to be not skilled in martial arts, so they easily got rid of it.

"It seems that this Xijing Mansion is full of other people's eyes, we still have to be more careful in our actions, no matter what, let's go back first. Yu Zhong said.

Helan Family Crane Garden.

A disciple of the Helan family handed over a letter of worship to Helan Ziqing.

He looked at the name on the prayer post, and hurriedly said, "Man, please come to the side hall." ”

"Yes. The disciple hurriedly walked out. After a while, he led the guests to the side hall.

"Red Gang Lin Hui, meet Helan's seniors. "The person who came was Lin Hui.

"The master of Lin Tang is good, I have heard the name for a long time, come to see the tea. Helan Ziqing then said: "The old gang leader of your gang Linghu has been good recently, and I think I haven't seen him for several years. ”

"Back to the words of the seniors, the leader of the Fox Gang is in good health, this time I came to Xijing Mansion to do business, and he specially asked me to bring a handwritten letter. After Lin Hui finished speaking, he took out the letter from his arms and presented it to Helan Ziqing.

Helan Ziqing opened the letterhead and read it carefully.

"Hall Master Lin, this letter says that you are here to investigate the murder of Zhang Moqian, the deputy gang leader of your gang, I don't know how I can help in this matter?"

"If you go back to your predecessors, there are clues to prove that the murder of Deputy Gang Leader Zhang and more than a dozen hall masters is related to the tragedy of the former martial arts alliance leader Bai Jun's family ten years ago. Lin Hui said.

"Oh, this case has been unsolved for many years, I remember that the Imperial City Division intervened in the investigation back then, but the whole story of the case was not found, could it be that the murderer is now hiding in Xijing Mansion?" asked Helan Ziqing.

"If you go back to your predecessors, I'm afraid that this murderer has a great relationship with the Helan family. Lin Hui immediately followed, from the six-finger palm prints on the body of the day to the death of Liang Xiaotian in the Tiger Roaring Villa, Bai Li was ordered to take charge of the villa, and went to the Red Gang Branch to investigate the matter, and told Helan Ziqing about it.

"I didn't expect the reason to be so tortuous, if it is really like what Hall Master Lin said, the person who connected with Deputy Zhang's gang leader back then was indeed a member of my Helan family, but it was not so easy to find out. Helan Ziqing said.

"The younger generation also knows that there are many masters in the Helan family, and it must take a lot of effort to find out, and I hope that the Helan seniors will be in the friendship with the Linghu gang leader and can give some help from the side, then I am very grateful. Lin Hui said.

Helan Ziqing thought silently for a while, and replied: "Hall Master Lin, this matter is very important, it can only end with me, you must not think that others will reveal it, I need some time to make arrangements, you go back and wait for my news, once there is progress, I will immediately send someone to inform you." ”

The junior said goodbye first and waited for the news of the senior. Lin Hui said.

"Master Lin walks slowly, comes, and sees off guests. Helan Ziqing arranged for his subordinates to send Lin Hui away, but his heart was like fifteen buckets of water, seven up and eight down.

The setting sun is trying to sprinkle the afterglow to the earth, and a crescent moon has jumped into the sky unwilling to be lonely.

Far away on the horizon, two horsemen galloped in, and entered the city moments before the twilight drums sounded.

"Third brother, I almost couldn't enter the city, it's really dangerous. Bai Li raised his hand and wiped the sweat from his face with his sleeve.

"The white girl is becoming more and more like us in the rivers and lakes, hahaha. Peng Zhaonian laughed loudly.

"The third brother Hugh is going to make fun of me, let's go find an inn to beat, we are finally here. Bai Li took a long breath, feeling that his body was about to fall apart from his body.

Inside the inn room.

The flickering candlelight through the white light gauze vines made it even more hazy, and the room was misty and steamy. Rose petals sprinkle on the steaming water, fragrant.

After fading everything and soaking in the water, she felt that she was a weak woman, and the hardships of this long journey, the dangers everywhere, made her spirit tense like a rubber band, and she endured many things that she should not have endured at this age......
