The words were covered in clouds and mountains, so that Liu Yuan seemed to understand whether he understood or not, but he did have the appearance of a high-ranking monk.

On the contrary, Pei Jiao rolled her eyes, since some time ago on the Buddha Mountain, the fat monk, that is, the current Buddhist host, said that she had a relationship with my Buddha, she always had a good impression of the monk.

Even the very gentle-looking old monk in front of him was no exception, Pei Jiao was thinking about something else, since he was not the mysterious man in black, he was still happy in vain.

Similarly, some words were naturally directly filtered out by the eldest prince, and he only heard one sentence that the other party was looking for someone.

At that moment, his eyes moved, the hand holding the reins loosened, leaned forward a little, looked at the monk condescendingly and asked, "I don't know who the master is looking for when he comes to Hongguang City?"

"Let's just say it, maybe we can help a little. ”

This can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone, not only to find out the true purpose of the other party, but also to invisibly sell the other party's favor, and pave the way for friendly contact later.

"Thank you for your kindness, you don't have to bother if you find someone, if there is nothing else, the old man will take his leave first. After speaking, the monk raised his hand and put the hat back on his head, and walked out step by step.

It's obvious that it's a divergence from the topic, and I don't want outsiders to know who I'm looking for.

And about this kind of thing, I really can't force it.

The leader looked at the eldest prince with inquiring eyes, and the latter watched the old man walk towards the outer circle, and did not say anything, the eldest prince simply waved his hand to let the surrounding soldiers get out of the way.

After watching the old monk's back gradually fade away, leaving the long street, walking out of the corner, and gradually disappearing from everyone's sight.

The leading man stepped forward, stood under the horse of the eldest prince, and said with a somewhat flattering smile on his face: "Look, general, do we want to track it down?"

"Chasing, naturally, is to chase. The eldest prince looked down at the man, lowered his voice and said, "But it's not up to you, it's up to you, where can I keep up with the monk." ”

"I guess I haven't gone far before I have to be discovered, okay, you can deal with the order here, you don't need to do the rest of the thing. The eldest prince said casually, and had already ridden his horse in the direction in which he had turned his head.

Originally, he thought that he would be able to make a big gain and successfully catch the man in black, after all, the person who came to report it sounded like the same thing.

Who knows that in the end, there will be a void, if it weren't for the fact that this old monk is still mysterious and a little useful, the eldest prince will not spare this leader, and he will have a good face for him.

left directly at the moment, and walked without stopping, leaving the leader standing in place, feeling apprehensive.

For a while, he couldn't figure out what the eldest prince thought, it turned out that he was still waiting to receive the reward, and now it seems that his position as a small leader can be kept, even if it is good.

Seeing that there was no excitement, the people in the hall sat back again, and at some point, someone had already carried away the one who had fainted to the ground.

The dining place in the back hall became noisy again.

However, Liu Yuan and Pei Jiao didn't plan to stay too long, and when the eldest prince came, in order to avoid being recognized, the two hid inside.

Leaving from the gate at this time, Liu Yuan deliberately looked up at the ridge not far away, as well as the well on the side.

"Those people are gone, too. Liu Yuan retracted his gaze and whispered to Pei Jiao.

Those people naturally refer to Qingfeng Wei who came with the eldest prince, but Liu Yuan didn't know the identities of those people, but he could roughly guess the purpose of those people and the connection between them and the eldest prince.

"Well, I thought there was going to be a big fight. Pei Jiao wrinkled her good-looking nose and replied, she was also aware of the previous situation, but it was not as clear as Liu Yuan's feelings.

"You can't fight, look at the eldest prince doesn't look like a mediocre person, it is when he uses people, that monk is obviously not an ordinary monk who is a wandering party, and the eldest prince is thinking of collecting it for his own use. ”

The two chatted while walking, and when he said this, he remembered Xia Lingling in his heart.

After all, the latter is planning to fight against his eldest brother, but in terms of the current strength comparison, it is far from enough.

If this eldest son of the Xia family is allowed to recruit masters, the situation will be even more difficult.

Thinking of these in his heart, Liu Yuan's expression became more solemn, he didn't want to delay a series of things such as the internal contradictions of the Xia family in Hongguang City before the matter of Dantang was settled.

Let's wait for two more days, if the Xia family's own affairs have not been resolved, then he can only take the initiative to go out and explore with the news of the Demon Gate obtained from Zhao Changjing.

The two of them had nothing to do all the way, so they simply went around the city.

When walking in the middle of the long street, Pei Jiao suddenly seemed to think of something, and said to Liu Yuan: "Otherwise, let's help the Xia family." ”

"Help, you mean?"

"Yes. Pei Jiao nodded.

The method that the two of them thought of was also very simple, since their Xia family was to find the second son, then they could also find the traces of the second son.

Even if it is the mysterious man in black who has made a lot of trouble these days, in order to catch this person, isn't it also to find the second son behind, so the two of them simply skip this mysterious person.

Mingli, let the people of the Xia family go to find the man in black, and secretly, they came to explore the traces of the two sons.

Now that the entire Hongguang City is under martial law, and the people entering and leaving are strictly searched, it is absolutely impossible for the second prince to slip out of the city at this time.

If the second prince was hiding somewhere and quietly observing at this time, he would naturally be drawn all his attention by the actions of the Mingli Xia family, just allowing Liu Yuan and Pei Jiao to play in the dark.

In addition, when he was investigating, Liu Yuan had checked the traces deliberately left by the second son, so a two-pronged approach, one bright and one dark, might have a miraculous effect.

Anyway, it's better than sitting and doing nothing.

However, before that, Liu Yuan also needs to meet a friend, or this friend is also his helper, who can be quite helpful for the next action.

"Let's go, go back to the inn first. ”

"Yo, the two guest officers are back. ”

The moment they saw Liu Yuan and the others stepping into the door of the inn, the shopkeeper in front of him, who was originally dialing the abacus, suddenly raised his head, his eyes lit up, as if he had seen a savior.

"The shopkeeper is waiting for us?" Liu Yuan asked curiously, clenching his fists.

"It's not that I'm waiting for you, it's that someone has been waiting for you for a long time. The shopkeeper didn't wait for Liu Yuan to ask, and pointed upstairs directly: "The two of you will understand when you go up and take a look yourself." ”

"It's fine. Liu Yuan agreed, and after glancing at Pei Jiao, the two stepped on the somewhat old wooden stairs and walked upstairs with a creak.

Xu heard the conversation downstairs, and when the two stepped on the wooden partition on the second floor, they saw a man standing in front of the stairs early, looking at Liu Yuan with a smile.

However, before Liu Yuan could reply, the man had already taken the lead and said, "I've seen my seniors." ”

Liu Yuan, who said a word, was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and quickly figured out that the other party must have inquired about his identity from Xia Lingling.

Knowing the name of his 'senior', he naturally said it with ridicule and three points of inquiry at this time.

However, Liu Yuan did not give a positive answer to this matter, but said: "It's inconvenient to talk here, I still have something to discuss with Brother Zhou, come to my house." ”

"Okay. Zhou Xiangwen had nothing to do anyway, he had been waiting for so long, and he didn't care about staying longer, so he nodded and followed Liu Yuan and walked to the innermost room around the corner.

After the three of them sat down separately, Zhou Xiangwen still wanted to gossip a few words, but before he could speak, Liu Yuan had already asked directly: "What is Brother Zhou's identity in the Xia family?

"Oh, what do you mean by that? I'm a useful person by Miss's side. Zhou Xiangwen didn't know what Liu Yuan was asking for this, so he replied very modestly.

Hearing this, Liu Yuan thought for a while, and then said in a radio voice: "Here's the thing."

sorted out the language and simplified the matter, and since the other party was on Xia Lingling's side, there was nothing to hide about the matter of the second son and their methods.

After the matter was thoroughly explained, only half a pillar of incense had passed, but the room seemed very quiet, only a slight breathing sound could be heard, if you didn't know, you would think that the people in the house were asleep.

But only Zhou Xiangwen himself felt this solemn atmosphere, and after a while, he probably thought about it, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Miss She knows about this matter?"

"You don't need to inform her, if you want to inform her, I won't see you alone, so I'm asking about you, the power at your disposal. Liu Yuan nodded solemnly.

Since it is hidden in the shadows, it is natural that the fewer people who know, the better.

"Okay, I agreed. Zhou Xiangwen replied in the affirmative, after all, this matter is a good thing for both him and the young lady.

Then he said, "However, I may only be able to help you in secret. ”

"Yes, I don't have to do it deliberately, in fact, I just need someone who can provide and deliver information at any time, and I am very familiar with Hongguang City. Liu Yuan nodded and said.

I have already figured out in my heart, where to start to find the second son who is very deeply hidden.

However, I can't guarantee that it will succeed, but I am already 50% sure.

After the matter was settled with Zhou Xiangwen, he could start acting immediately, the two were separated at the staircase, and when they went out, Zhou Xiangwen was still a little confused.

After walking a street or two, I realized what I was doing here.

With a palm on his forehead, Zhou Xiangwen shook his head and smiled helplessly, for him, it didn't matter what Liu Yuan's identity was, he was just a little curious.

He himself is still the closed disciple of the current owner of Jianque Villa, who knows.

Who hasn't had a secret yet, thinking of this, Zhou Xiangwen suddenly became angry for no reason, and walked a little briskly.

As Su Jumang saw at the beginning, there was no problem with his vision, although Zhou Xiangwen's start was indeed a little late, but his comprehension of martial arts was top-notch.

Since the last separation, the martial arts taught to Zhou Xiangwen, the latter has been completely integrated, and there is no slightest obstacle.

That's why, when things stabilize here, he may have to go to Jianque Villa.

A few days ago, he had already sent a letter to Master Feige, explaining his recent situation, but he had not yet received a reply.

Thinking about it, this is the time, Zhou Xiangwen returned to the Xia family's mansion, and there was no communication with Xia Xiang in the front yard.

The two of them always can't pee in a pot, although both of them are also Xia Lingling's subordinates, but no matter how you look at it, it looks a little unpleasant.

Especially Xia Xiang, I always feel that Zhou Xiangwen is a little white face, a soft persimmon, and he has no tricks at hand, so he looks down on him very much.

Some people fall in love as soon as they meet, as if they can talk for a day and a night, while some people are so strange that they don't like it when they meet, and they always want to kiss each other's cheeks with their fists.

Obviously, Zhou Xiangwen and Xia Xiang belong to the latter.

But Xia Lingling doesn't care, if all the people under her hand are as good as honey and oil, it may not be a good thing.

And now that she has given Zhou Xiangwen a heavy responsibility, Xia Xiang is a little estranged, and the latter will return to Little Lotus Mountain sooner or later.

I won't use any major fifty adjustment methods, and it is not suitable for every time.

And Zhou Xiangwen didn't care about Xia Xiang's opinion of him, he was very generous, which made Xia Lingling look at it even more.

Zhou Xiangwen is also very free under Xia Lingling, most of the time the latter will not ask about his movements, and will only look for him when needed.

For example, now, Zhou Xiangwen returned to the room alone, did not alarm anyone, and began to deal with the matter that he promised Liu Yuan.

Those people from his Qishi Mansion before, although it was said that they had integrated into the surrounding areas of Hongguang City, there were still a few of them who stayed in the city.

And in the past few days, those people have found a good job, and now is the time to use these people.

One hour, two hours passed

It's night again, and the tension in Hongguang City has not eased in the slightest, but has become heavier, and there are still not many ordinary people hanging around on the long street.

The mysterious man was still running away, and Liu Yuan and Pei Jiao, who had been busy all day, did not find much to gain.

But with Zhou Xiangwen's help, the two eliminated a few of the original suspicious places, and the rest can be said with one hand.

Being able to find the range so clearly and quickly also depends on the traces of tree roots that Xia Lingling called to see.

There weren't many people on the street at night, but it was a little obvious that they were walking on the street as a man and a woman.

Even the patrol team that came up for questioning was met with three waves, and each time they replied to the same question.

"Let's go, go to Lin Xing Street in the East District. ”

As the two of them spoke, they were about to separate when they heard a sudden shout of killing not far away, and a dark shadow under the moonlight jumped over the roof with its arms outstretched like a big bird.
