Chapter 256: Unsheathed

At this moment, the long street is full of traffic, it is still a busy city, the crowd is endless, and there are many guards patrolling, but Lei Xiaoxiao's identity is not clear, so he naturally does not dare to shout and shout for help from the guards to catch the thief.

Of course, it's just a thief, Lei Xiaoxiao thinks that she can handle it herself, if she can't even take a thief who steals, then she doesn't have to think about getting her own things back.

It seemed to be very smooth along the way, although Lei Xiaoxiao had never learned to follow and hide, but fortunately, there were enough people and shops on the long street, which was conducive to her hiding her whereabouts.

After turning two or three blocks, the other party did not have the slightest sign to notice, and still walked in front of the head gracefully, playing with jade pendants for a while, and stopping in front of the stall for a while.

Lei Xiaoxin was more relieved, but after walking for a long time, she noticed that there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road, and it was a little obvious that she was following the person.

At the moment, I didn't dare to bite too tightly, half a street behind, I could only see the back of the person in front of me, fortunately, even so, I didn't lose it.

The other party still seems to be nothing, but the road is getting more and more remote.

Lei Xiaoxiao muttered in his heart, but he had been following him for so long, and it was impossible to give up.

Seeing that the man turned an alley and his figure disappeared, Lei Xiaoxiao didn't have time to think about it, and quickly followed, the alley was empty, and there was no figure on the left and right.

Walking along the alley, a slightly old City God Temple appeared in front of me, and it was obvious that no pilgrims had come here to worship for a long time.

Lei Xiaoxiao suddenly had an extremely strong premonition, that person was in this temple.

At the moment, holding the sword in his left hand and the hilt of the sword in his right hand, he put on a posture of being ready to draw his sword at any time, and cautiously approached the door of the temple step by step.

As far as the eye can see, there is a statue of a god enshrined in front of the temple, and there is a person kneeling in front of the statue, but it is a slender girl.

With a thick doubt in his eyes, Lei Xiaoxiao stepped forward to look at the girl's side face and asked, "Girl, have you ever seen a suspicious man coming to this neighborhood?" ”

The girl was praying to the city god with her eyes closed, and she didn't know if she was interrupted and a little angry, so she opened her eyes and looked at Xiaoxiao: "There has been no one nearby, where is the suspicious man from?"

"I'm sorry, excuse me. Lei Xiaoxiao clenched his fists, held his sword in both hands, and after scanning around with his lowered eyes, he turned around and walked towards the door.

Hearing the footsteps moving away, the girl ignored it and continued to fold her hands in front of her chest to make a wish.

As a result, in the next moment, he heard a stumbling sound, the sword was unsheathed, and Lei Xiaoxiao held the long sword in his hand with his backhand and put it on the woman's neck.

The latter suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the statue with sharp eyes, and lightly opened his red lips and said, "I don't know what the girl means?"

......

Shocked by Young Master Zhou's question, Liu Yuan was indeed stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted, chuckled and shook his head: "I opened an inn to cook, and the knife was naturally bought, what kind of kitchen knife, boning knife, taper knife, I bought a lot." ”

After saying it with a smile, he added a cup of tea to himself and drank it all, his emotions completely calmed down, and he said, "Could it be that Young Master Zhou, you also want to buy a knife?"

"Haha, I'm not asking about kitchen knives, but knives!" Zhou Xiangwen's last word 'knife' accentuated his tone, "That kind of knife that kills!

Although he Zhou Xiangwen is still young, he has also mixed in the small rivers and lakes of Dade County, and he rushed at the group of people under his hand, which he has never seen before.

He keenly caught it, and just as he finished speaking, Liu Yuan's expression changed abnormally at that moment, and he was already sure that the other party was the person Xia Lingling was looking for.

Even if it's not, there must be something wrong.

"Young Master Zhou said with a smile, what do I want that thing for. Liu Yuan had completely calmed down and shook his head when he heard the words.

"Yes. Zhou Xiangwen was noncommittal, and said as if talking to himself: "I heard that recently, the official government yamen in the city is not only looking for the assassin that day, but also looking for a man who sells knives and a man who buys knives. ”

"I've seen the knife seller before, and he doesn't look good, with a big cake face, but I heard that the person who bought the knife looks quite handsome, and he is wearing a red robe. ”

While speaking, Zhou Xiangwen's eyes still glanced at the red robe on Liu Yuan's body with a smile.

Listening to the words, looking at this look again, Liu Yuan was uncomfortable, the corners of his eyes jumped down, and he had to squeeze out a somewhat embarrassing smile on his face: "That's not me." ”

Saying this, countless thoughts have already turned in his heart, and it is obvious that the person that Young Master Zhou is talking about is him, and the people that the yamen is looking for are him and Liu Mang.

And judging from this situation, Liu Mang has been found.

Liu Yuan thought about it, and in the end he could only think of Du Ji's body, it should be that person who wanted to take revenge on him for buying a knife first.

But he also had to prepare for the worst, that is, when he turned into a 'ghost face' to make that knife, he was written down by someone with a heart.

If this is the case, as soon as he thought of this, Liu Yuan was cold all over his body, and the reward of two hundred and fifty taels of silver was like a butcher's knife, hanging above his head all the time.

"It's better if it's not you. The corners of Young Master Zhou's mouth hooked up with a smile and said softly.

The main purpose of his coming at this moment, in addition to temptation, is more important to remind the other party that he has said everything to this point, and Liu Yuan should be able to understand what he means.

But there is a premise for all this, that is, the person Xia Lingling is looking for is really Liu Yuan, if he guesses wrong, then his previous series of performances, in Liu Yuan's eyes, may be a little like an idiot.

As for why Xia Lingling wanted Liu Yuan, Young Master Zhou was not curious.

The other party has prompted that it has reached this point, in fact, it is almost to pierce the window paper, but Liu Yuan definitely did not dare to pierce this layer of window paper.

He estimated that Zhou Xiangwen didn't know that he was a ghost, otherwise it wouldn't be the reaction now, and what he couldn't keep was the reason why the yamen was looking for him.

No matter what the reason is, Liu Mang's situation is very dangerous at the moment, Liu Yuan asked with a clear pretense of confusion: "I heard Zhou Shao just talked about the man with a big pie face, how is it?

Zhou Xiangwen thought so in his heart, and replied: "Where can it, that man looks honest, but in fact he is cunning, and he ran one step earlier." ”

Run? It's good to run, Liu Yuan relaxed a little, but then his heart was raised again, Liu Mang has no foundation in the city, where can he run if he wants to run?

Now, in order to catch the assassin, the entire Dade city is closed, and no matter in or out, it will be severely interrogated and censored.

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt in his heart, no, he had to go and find Liu Mang!
