Chapter 41 Xuanwu's Movements
At the same time as Chen Yutian and the others were analyzing in Gyeonggi Mansion, the real murderer Wu Chengtian in their mouths was confronting a person in a teahouse in the city at the moment.
"Your Excellency's surname is Wu?"
The person on the other side looked at Wu Chengtian's appearance hidden under the hat and slowly spoke.
Wu Chengtian was slightly stunned for a moment, and the hand holding the teacup paused slowly in front of him, and then took a sip of tea as if nothing had happened.
"No, Your Excellency has recognized the wrong person,"
"Oh, is it?" the person across from him chuckled softly, "Did you really recognize the wrong person?"
"Naturally. Wu Chengtian didn't look up and said.
"Then I wonder if Your Excellency can raise your head and take a good look at it?" the person on the other side laughed again.
Wu Chengtian felt a trace of vigilance in his heart for no reason.
Then he slowly raised his eyelids and cast a trace of gaze towards the person in front of him.
In front of him was a man in white in his twenties, holding a white folding fan, with a faint smile on his face, and an elegant style between his actions.
"As I have already said, Your Excellency has recognized the wrong person. ”
"But I didn't feel wrong, so I asked Your Excellency if I could look up and let me take a look. The man in white smiled.
Wu Chengtian was even more vigilant in his heart, but he still lowered his head.
"The old man looks ugly, I'm afraid Your Excellency doesn't like it, so forget it. ”
"Oh...... Since this is the case, it seems that it is really possible to recognize the wrong person in the next place, so please ...... excuse me" After the man in white finished speaking, he left directly.
Hearing his voice getting farther and farther away, Wu Chengtian breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
However, just as he looked up to confirm whether the other party had left, he found that there was an extra envelope on the table in front of him.
Wu Chengtian's eyes condensed slightly.
He remembered very well that there was nothing on the table.
Then this thing should be left by the man in white.
Thinking of the strange words of the white-clothed man, Wu Chengtian frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and picked up the envelope.
Immediately, his eyes were stunned!
"It's ......"
A flash of horror crossed his eyes, Wu Chengtian frowned, and looked at the four big characters that had already been written on the envelope.
"Brother Wu personally opened. ”
Wu Chengtian opened the envelope with doubts, just glanced at it, and his expression suddenly changed!
"Ahh......h
He stood up suddenly, his body trembled slightly, and then he tore the letter in his hand to shreds, and then threw down a few coins and silver, and hurriedly left the teahouse.
At the door of a cloth shop not far from the teahouse, the young man in white was calm, shaking the folding fan in his hand, looking at the figure rushing out of the door of the teahouse, and smiled slightly.
Wu Chengtian looked around for a while, and also saw the shadow in white that seemed to be intolerable to the world.
Immediately, his expression flashed with anger, and he walked towards the man in white.
Seeing that Wu Chengtian was still a few steps away from him, the man in white smiled slightly and said softly: "It seems that I really didn't admit my mistake." ”
Wu Chengtian's eyes were faintly angry, and he stepped in front of Bai Yi, grabbed the other party's collar, and asked, "Who are you?"
Bai Yi's face did not change, and he said with a smile: "This question should be asked to you by coming down, I don't know if you are surnamed Wu or surnamed Yue at this moment?"
"You ......"
The anger in Wu Chengtian's eyes was even more intense, and his right hand holding the collar was even more powerful.
"Still don't want to say...... But it doesn't matter, if you can chase it out, you should have read the information left below, in this case, even if you don't say it, you already have the answer in your heart. ”
Bai Yi stared at Wu Chengtian and suddenly smiled slightly.
Hearing this, Wu Chengtian's eyes flashed violently, and after a while, he slowly let go of his white clothes.
"Now that you're all clear, I have nothing to hide. I'm the person you're looking for. Say, what's the matter with me?"
Bai Yi gently adjusted his collar and said with a smile: "Brother Wu, you are so smart, don't you understand what you want?"
Wu Chengtian sighed, "Is it really for that kind of thing?"
"Of course, maybe Brother Wu doesn't know the value of that thing, but I believe you won't joke with Madam Zun's life. ”
Bai Yi said with a smile.
Hearing this, Wu Chengtian's eyes flashed with a flash of history, and he asked, "What do you want to do?"
Bai Yi smiled and said: "This is not what you should understand, Brother Wu, as long as you help me get what you hidden, I will definitely return it to you unscathed." ”
Hearing this, Wu Chengtian's expression was a little unpleasant
"Is that true?" he asked, looking at Bai Yi with a hint of suspicion on his face.
"What do you say?"
Bai Yi did not answer his question directly, but asked rhetorically.
Wu Chengtian fell silent.
Seeing this, Bai Yi smiled faintly, "Brother Wu, don't worry, as long as you are willing to help me, Mrs. Zun will be fine, but if you want to play any tricks, don't blame ......me."
Before he finished speaking, he heard Wu Chengtian's eyes say coldly: "I hope you can keep your promise." ”
"Naturally. Bai Yi smiled, and then said, "Then please ask Brother Wu for advice." ”
Wu Chengtian glanced at him coldly and said, "The thing is in the room of the inn where Meng Xingsoul lives, and I hid it in a painting, but I heard that the inn was robbed a few days ago, and all the paintings were stolen...... I'm afraid it's already in the hands of some people with a heart at this moment. ”
Hearing this, Bai Yi looked stunned, and then smiled: "Brother Wu has a heart in his words, but what else does he mean?"
Wu Chengtian smiled coldly, "Since you know what is in my hand, you should naturally know what I am talking about, anyway, everything I know has already been told to you, you should keep your promise." ”
Bai Yi said with a smile: "This is natural, but what I just said is that after Brother Wu helps me get that kind of thing, I will let Mrs. Zun come back, so before I get that kind of thing, I ask Brother Wu to be patient a little." ”
When the words fell, the internal force around his body suddenly agitated, and a strange wind was born out of thin air!
Wu Chengtian's face changed completely, he looked at the white clothes surrounded by the strong wind, and shouted, "Do you want to break your word?"
"Haha...... Rest assured, in the next word, as long as you get what you want, you will definitely let Mrs. Zun return. ”
The white-clothed figure suddenly disappeared in the strong wind, leaving only a burst of sound in Wu Chengtian's ears.
Wu Chengtian's complexion changed, and he stepped out, and was about to chase after Bai Yi, but at the moment when he raised his foot, a wind blade suddenly shot out.
Wu Chengtian must not retreat.
When I looked up again, there was still a shadow of white clothes......
"Bastard, fooled...... Wu Chengtian's face changed, he looked at the direction where Bai Yi left, and clenched his fists.
......
......
After Bai Yi left Wuchengtian, the folding fan in his hand suddenly changed, and it turned into a jade carving similar to Xuanwu.
Thinking back to Wu Chengtian, who was angry at the end, he smiled indifferently, "Wu Chengtian obviously doesn't have any useful information here...... However, he just said that the remnant map is very likely to have fallen into the hands of someone with a heart, and it should be referring to the Heaven Overturning Sect, right?"
"They're really fast...... However, it should not have fallen into their hands yet, otherwise they would not want to stay in the capital like this......"
"It seems that there is something wrong with it...... Check out ......"
As he spoke, his figure disappeared in place like a ghost......
When they reappeared, they were already a few feet away......
After about a cup of tea, the others had already come to the door of the old Yuelai store.
Although he had experienced the bizarre theft before, it did not affect the inn's business at all.
When Bai Yi came here, it was not yet lunchtime, but the lobby was already full of people, sitting in groups of three or five with each other, chatting together, so lively.
There are even a few running buddies running up and down in between, busy.
Looking at the scene in the store, Bai Yi smiled faintly, walked into the hall, and came directly to the shopkeeper Li Yun.
"Shopkeeper's. ”
"Yo, this guest officer, what's the matter?" Li Yun politely arched his hand at Bai Yi, smiling all over his face.
"I would like to ask you about a person who is a fellow villager of mine, and this time he has been entrusted by his family to come to Beijing to visit. Bai Yi said.
"Oh, I don't know who the guest officer wants to inquire?" Li Yun was slightly curious.
Bai Yi said: "I haven't seen this person either, but I know that his family name is Meng, and his name is Xingyun!"
"Ah?Meng Xingyun?!"
Hearing this name, Li Yun was taken aback!
A ray of essence flashed in Baiyi's eyes, and he shouted: "Yes, it's him, it seems that the shopkeeper really knows him, I don't know if the shopkeeper can go up and call him down, so he said that there are fellow villagers who want to see him." ”
Hearing this, Li Yun's eyes immediately swelled with a ...... Indescribably complex colors.
He looked at the white clothes, but he didn't know what to say.
Seeing this, Bai Yi said strangely: "The shopkeeper thinks this matter is a little difficult? If you need silver taels, you can also have a little money here, but it doesn't hurt." ”
"Guest, you're mistaken. ”
Seeing that Bai Yi was about to take out the silver money from his arms, Li Yun hurriedly said, "It's not that I feel embarrassed, but ......."
At this, his words paused again.
Bai Yi looked at him suspiciously.
"Alas...... I won't lie to you......" Li Yun's eyes flickered rapidly for a few moments, and then he sighed and said, "The person you are looking for is already dead." His head is still in the government to this day. ”
Hearing this, Bai Yi was stunned!
Li Yun sighed helplessly.
After a while, the white cloth's dull eyes flashed slightly, and his body trembled slightly, looking at Li Yun, revealing a look of disbelief.
"Shopkeeper, you ...... It's a joke, isn't it?"
Li Yun sighed and said, "Alas...... Guest, where am I in the mood to joke with you, what I said is true. ”
Hearing this, the body in white suddenly shook again!
A touch of grief slowly welled up!
Seeing him like this, Li Yun sighed slowly and said, "Guest officer, please also mourn and change, since you are his fellow countryman, please bring back his relics left here." ”
Hearing this, Bai Yi nodded silently, and the sadness in his eyes did not decrease at all.
Li Yun sighed, entered the wing room behind the counter, and took out a package.
These are the relics that Meng Xingyun left in the store.
Li Yun handed the package to Bai Yi, who took it, opened the package and checked it carefully, frowning slightly.
"Shopkeeper, although I am very grateful to you for helping him collect the relics, there is still something I want to ask you about, there should be a painting here, but I don't know why it has disappeared?"
Hearing Bai Yi's words, Li Yun was taken aback and asked, "How do you know that there is another painting?"
Bai Yi's expression remained unchanged, and he explained: "The shopkeeper doesn't know, in the next time he entered Beijing, he was actually invited by Brother Meng's family to bring back that heirloom painting from his hands, and now that others are dead, the painting is not among these relics, and I really don't know how to explain to the people of the Meng family after I go back." ”
Li Yun nodded, "I see...... Since this painting is a family heirloom of the deceased, it is natural that it should be returned to its original owner. However, the painting was not in my shop, and he was taken back by the government. ”
"Official?" Bai Yi frowned and said strangely.
"Exactly, I heard about the details......" After saying that, Li Yun told Bai Yi everything about the fact that he saw Meng Xingyun's head on the notice, went to the government to report the case, and later the government came to the store to search.
After hearing this, Bai Yi nodded slightly, "I see...... I didn't expect this to happen, thank you for informing me. ”
Li Yun waved his hand and smiled: "This is nothing, if that painting is extremely important to you, I will go to the official mansion with you and help you take out the painting." ”
Bai Yi waved his hand slightly, and said, "This doesn't need to trouble the shopkeeper, this matter can be in the next person, please ......"
After speaking, Bai Yi picked up the package, nodded slightly at Li Yun, and left the store.
Li Yun looked at his departing back and smiled absently.
I didn't notice at all that this man in white, who was still humble and polite, slowly appeared at the corner of his mouth the moment he stepped out of the door of the inn...... Wicked smile.
......
......
Remote mountains.
A small wooden house stands alone under a mountain peak.
The wooden house is very new, it looks like it has just been built, and it is especially abrupt in the middle of the barren mountains.
Inside the wooden house, there were two people.
A man sits in a chair.
One person is tied to a rough wooden bed by five flowers.
The seated man looked at the tied man, the corners of his mouth that covered the bronze mask cracked a slit.
The person who was tied up looked at the red shadow, but his eyes were full of horror.
"Huh...... Are you scared?"
The seated person, through the bronze mask that covered his cheeks, let out a burst of charming laughter.
The tied man shook his head and did not speak, but did not notice in the slightest that his eyes had exposed everything.
So the sitting man laughed again.
She got up from her chair, pushed open the only window in the room, and looked out.
Sunlight shines through the gap between its body and the window.
"Huh...... Don't be afraid, it's going to be over soon, everything, it's going to be over soon......"
