Since ancient times, Chang'an West Wind and Rain Chapter 144 Doubt

Xu Changfeng was still the same as usual, sitting alone downstairs at the inn drinking porridge.

It's not easy to drink just one bowl of porridge every morning and keep it going for ten years. But it's much better than when I fled. Ten years ago, it would have been a very happy thing to have a mouthful of gruel to drink, how could you still have the heart to think about big fish and big meat?

At this time, the shopkeeper suddenly sneakily walked over to him, and carefully handed out an envelope, "Guest officer, there is someone outside the door who asked the little one to hand over this letter to you." ”

Xu Changfeng raised his head and stared at the shopkeeper with puzzled eyes, "Who is it?"

"He was masked, and the little one couldn't see clearly. The shopkeeper seemed to sense that something was wrong, so he dropped the envelope and ran away. But he took the man's money, and he treated it as if he didn't see it.

Xu Changfeng picked up the envelope on the table, opened it carefully, and only wrote one line of words on it: "Shidongyu is in our hands, there is a ruined temple a mile outside the city, you are only allowed to come alone, otherwise." ”

"Fish?" Xu Changfeng stared at the letter and read it several times, "What the hell is going on? What are they tying up fish for?"

He only met Shi Dongyu yesterday, and today Shi Dongyu was kidnapped? How could there be such a coincidence? There must be something strange in this, but does he have to sit idly by?

Xu Changfeng carefully put away the letter, hurriedly drank the porridge, picked up the lone shadow short sword placed on the side, and walked out of the inn quickly.

After all, Yangzhou is also a famous ancient city in the south of the Yangtze River, and there is an endless stream of people entering the city at this point, he went out of the city as quickly as possible, and was not in a hurry to go to the broken temple, but came to Shi Dongyu's house.

As soon as he walked to the gate of Shi Dongyu's small courtyard, he saw his wife standing in the courtyard cleaning. His wife noticed that someone was approaching, and couldn't help but raise her head to look out, and found that it was Xu Changfeng, and the whole person was very surprised.

"Brother Xu, why are you here?"

"Brother and sister, I came to look for Yu'er, don't you know he's at home?" asked Xu Changfeng in a low voice.

"It's a misfortune, my husband just went out half an hour ago. His wife whispered.

"I see...... Then I'll come back later. Xu Changfeng nodded and left.

Walking on the road, Xu Changfeng lowered his head and pinched his fingers and calculated, "Half an hour, it is estimated that it will take a quarter of an hour to walk from here to the broken temple, and then send someone to the inn to inform me of the news, counting the time I came here from the inn, it is really just half an hour has passed." ”

"But why?" said the boy, still puzzled as he walked along the road, "to be able to calculate the time so accurately shows that they have paid attention to the fish, but I only met the fish yesterday, which doesn't make sense." ”

As the boy walked, he subconsciously stopped, took out the letter again and read it carefully, but still didn't come up with a reason.

"No, too!" exclaimed the young man, holding the letter, "how could he get up so early today when the fish was so drunk yesterday?"

Last night, Shi Dongyu may have been very happy, drank a lot of wine, and finally fell drunk on the table, and finally he and Shi Dongyu's wife carried him to the bed together.

Going out half an hour ago means waking up earlier. In this way, Shi Dongyu was not drunk at all last night?

"Why do the fish pretend to be drunk?" the boy did not understand, and stood there for a long time.

He put away the letter and decided to go to the ruined temple. This ruined temple was not on the official road, he searched for most of the day, and finally found it in a dense forest.

The ruined temple was very dark, and he was lying behind a boulder, looking into it from a distance, and he couldn't see anything inside.

At this time, he suddenly noticed that something was approaching from behind, and before he could turn around, he felt that his eyes were black and he fainted.

When he woke up again, his hands were tied, and he was leaning against a broken idol. He looked around, it was dusty and covered with cobwebs, presumably the ruined temple.

At this moment, there were only two men standing in front of him, both of whom were masked, and it could be felt that the strength of these two people was much higher than him, and it was estimated that there were three to four orders. At this moment, counting him in the broken temple, there were only three people, and he didn't see Shi Dongyu's figure.

Obviously, this is a trap.

"Presumably you are Xu Changfeng, right, don't be nervous, we have no malicious intentions. A masked man looked at Xu Changfeng and said.

"No malice, then why did you tie me up?" Xu Changfeng asked in a deep voice.

"Hehe......" the masked man laughed dryly, "We are also forced to do this, please understand, as long as we reach a consensus, we will be people in the same boat." ”

"Reach a consensus?" Xu Changfeng muttered in a low voice, but there was an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart.

"I guess you won't forget it, right?" said the iron sword in Liu's blacksmith shop...... the man in black said with a hippie smile.

When the young man heard this, his face turned pale, and although he tried hard to hide it, this expression still exposed his heart.

"Looks like you really have a lot of background. The masked man clapped his hands, "Come, tell us if you have a grudge against anyone in the palace, otherwise why would they tie you up in a prison?"

"Yi Siye, did you kill you?" Xu Changfeng gritted his teeth and stared at them with wide eyes.

"Not bad. The masked man nodded, "We've expressed our sincerity, it's your turn next, if you don't say it well, maybe you won't be able to get out of this place alive today." ”

"What do you want to do?" Xu Changfeng shouted in a low voice.

If these people were the real murderers who killed Yi Siye, why did they kidnap themselves, he had a number in his heart. It should be that he wants to borrow his hand to fight against the imperial court together, and finally let them reap the benefits of the fishermen themselves.

After all, Yi Siye's case seems to be seamless, but there is a big flaw, that is, Liu Jingkang lied. Others may not be able to see that he is lying, but the person who actually bought the sword will definitely know.

In order to make this matter come to fruition, Liu Jingkang deliberately framed the murderer on Luoyue.

In other words, in the eyes of the real murderer, Xu Changfeng's family background has been exposed. Although it is not clear what his true identity is, it is certain that this young man is not only related to Ye Yuya, but there must be a mysterious force behind him to help him round the field, otherwise he would not have been able to walk out of the court gate that day.

"Little brother, you are very dishonest......" The masked man pulled out the short sword he was carrying, approached Xu Changfeng's throat and said, "Give you half a pillar of incense, if you can't say the information that interests us in half a pillar of incense, then you will probably die here." ”

The boy stared at the two of them.

"Don't doubt if we dare. The masked man shook his head and said, "If you die Xu Changfeng, won't your plan go on?" I'm giving you a chance now, a chance to cooperate sincerely. You don't have to talk to me about anything, you can't decide this kind of bullshit alone, if you're just an irrelevant person, why would so many people go out of their way to save you?"

I have to admit that the masked man in front of him analyzed the ins and outs of the matter very clearly and accurately. But Xu Changfeng can't say it, because behind the Lingkong Sword Village, the secret hidden is the ten-year lamp!

Even if the imperial court covered up the truth of the Lingkong Sword Village, was the truth really so easy to cover up?

In addition to the imperial court, there were not a few people in the Sky Sword Village!

Xu Changfeng is sure that the forces behind the masked man in front of him must also know the truth ten years ago. Once he said the Sky Sword Village, it would only be self-digging.

"It's quite hard-mouthed, don't say it, right?" the masked man smiled, "The more you don't say it, the more it means that the power behind you has a lot of background, yes, it seems that this calculation is right." ”

The boy took a deep breath, what he needed at this time was composure.

If the sword qi given to him by Wei Qijian was still there, the two little thieves would not be able to become a climate at all. However, the last sword qi had already been used in the dense forest to save Zhou Qixuan, and now he has no hole cards on his body!

Seeing that the young man didn't speak for a long time, the masked man couldn't help but feel a little impatient, and slowly put the short sword close to his neck, and a cold feeling spread throughout his body.
