Chapter 16: The Man in Black Under the Bed
Night came, and as the moon rose, the walls of the flood rock seemed to be shrouded in a transparent black man's tulle.
Perhaps because of the rendering of the night, although the Hongyan Wall has lost the precipitous momentum of the green peak during the day, it no longer shows the humor of the high standing shadow of the column all the time, making the Hongyan Wall extremely mysterious.
The family sects that came from all over the country to participate in the Hongmen banquet have registered to settle in Hongmen one after another, although there are still a few invited forces that have not yet arrived, but they are also on the way to Hongmen, or they are already close to Hongmen, so Hu Sheng sent another person to wait here, and he was ready to turn back.
"Girl, please show me your invitation. ”
Seeing that the crowd of onlookers had dispersed, Ji Menglan led the horse towards the registration office, but was unexpectedly intercepted by a Hongmen disciple in front of her and asked for an invitation to the Hongmen banquet. This invitation had been received by the Tiger Hunter Hall before, but after the massacre, the matter of this invitation had long been forgotten.
Afraid that she would not be able to meet the head of Hong Dachuan without this invitation, Ji Menglan hurriedly said: "I don't have an invitation letter, but I have an urgent need to ask to see the head of Hong Kong." ”
"I'm sorry girl, you can't enter without an invitation, but the girl can report her name and origin, and I'll let people report back to the master. ”
Seeing Ji Menglan's anxious look, there must be something very important, but this Hongmen banquet is about to be held, and he was ordered to check the invitation letter issued by Hongmen here, in case there is any chaos, no one present can afford it.
But in case the person who came to see him really had something important to see, and he missed a big event because he didn't let this girl in, it was a responsibility that he couldn't bear, so for the sake of today, he had to ask the girl in front of him to report her name and origin, and he would send someone to the head of the house, and then the head would decide for himself to be the right policy.
Knowing that the Hongmen disciple in front of him was willing to convey the news for herself, Ji Menglan hurriedly bowed her hands and said gratefully: "Then there is Brother Lao, after seeing the head of Hong, just say that the apprentice from the Demon Sect will ask to see him." ”
There are also reasons why Ji Menglan did not report her name and origin. After all, the convening of this Hongmen banquet is extremely important to both good and evil, so there must be someone secretly watching at all times, or maybe among the onlookers behind him who have not yet dispersed, it is very likely that there is a remnant of the Demon Sect or an enemy who participated in the slaughter of the Tiger Hunting Hall.
And his identity is sensitive, so he must be cautious in such an occasion.
Although she couldn't report her name and origin, Ji Menglan was confident enough to believe that as long as Shigong Hong Dachuan heard the words "apprentice from the Demon City", he would meet her.
Suddenly, in Ji Menglan's mind, she once again remembered that many years ago, in the Yellow Mansion of the Tiger Hunting Hall in the Demon City, she and her junior brother Huang Linzhan hugged the two masters, making the two masters laugh openly.
"Then Miss Lao is here for a while, and I will let people go up to the master. ”
After the Hongmen disciple finished replying, he was about to give orders to another Hongmen disciple beside him.
"Wait. ”
A sound came, which made the two Hongmen disciples and Ji Menglan look surprised.
Ji Menglan looked for prestige, and saw a tall middle-aged man with a thin face walking quickly.
The person who came was not someone else, it was Hu Sheng, the right-hand man of the head of Hong Dachuan.
Originally, after Hu Sheng explained the people who were here to greet the registration, he was ready to go back and forth to help the middle to help with other things, but just a few steps on the stairs, he heard a rumor behind him that he was reporting to be the head of the apprentice from the Demon Regiment, which had to make Hu Sheng stop.
Think about it carefully, I have followed the head of the sect for so many years, and I have never heard of the head of the sect in the Demon City and the apprentice grandson, unless...... After thinking about it, Hu Sheng suddenly realized, unless he was the apprentice grandson of Huang Hongjin of the Tiger Hunting Hall.
The head of the sect and Huang Hongjin are from the same family, then the apprentice grandson of Huang Hongjin can be the apprentice grandson of the master, and Huang Hongjin only has two apprentices and grandchildren in his life, one is his own grandson Huang Linzhan, and the other is the little girl who was saved in the hands of the Demon Sect twenty years ago, so ......
Hu Sheng hurriedly turned around, and after seeing the appearance of Ji Menglan, who was talking to two Hongmen disciples, he was excited for a while.
More than ten years have passed since the last time I saw Ji Menglan, and although the eighteenth female college has changed, some of the physiognomy features on Ji Menglan's face are still retained, so Hu Sheng is very sure that this is Ji Menglan, one of the two apprentices that the head of the sect has been thinking about day and night since the destruction of the Tiger Hunting Hall, and she is also the person who the head of the sect ordered him to go to the Demon City to look for.
"It's Miss Ji?"
Hu Sheng was excited, and before he walked up to Ji Menglan, he asked in a loud voice.
"You ......"
He didn't report his name, why did this middle-aged man call him by his last name?
"Are you Uncle Hu?"
After taking a closer look, Ji Menglan recognized this Hu Sheng, who had been to the Imperial Demon City with his master Hong Dachuan many years ago.
Maybe the junior brother Huang Linzhan can't recognize this Hu Sheng, but after all, he is a few years older than Huang Linzhan, and the Uncle Hu in front of him hasn't changed much over the years, so he can recognize his appearance.
"The girl is here, don't you know how much the head of the family misses you and your brother, huh...... Are you alone? Huang Gongzi ...... others?"
Because he was too excited before, Hu Sheng ignored for a while that there should be another person beside Ji Menglan, that is, Huang Linzhan. So when he saw Ji Menglan alone, Hu Sheng suddenly paused, and an ominous premonition came to his heart.
Seeing that Hu Sheng's face was wrong, he guessed what Hu Sheng was thinking, in order to avoid Hu Sheng's worry, Ji Menglan hurriedly said: "Uncle Hu, don't worry, things are not what you think, but it's a long story, but I'm in a hurry to see Master Hong at the moment, so how about we talk while walking?"
"Okay, come with me. ”
After speaking, Hu Sheng led Ji Menglan along the stone stairs with braziers on both sides towards the top of the Hongyan wall.
......
......
"I see, no wonder I didn't see your junior brother and brother all the way to the Demon City. Fortunately, you are all fine, and if the head of the family learns about it, he will be very happy. Although Huang Gongzi was seriously injured, it can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune, as for the black jade intermittent cream you mentioned, I once overheard the head of the sect mention that Hongmen does have a bottle. ”
"If you're sure there's still a bottle of black jade intermittent cream, that's great, and now it's saved. ”
"Without further ado, I'll take you to salute first, and then I'll take you to the master. ”
After a brief conversation along the long stone staircase, Hu Sheng realized why Huang Linzhan did not go to Hongmen with Ji Menglan, but Ji Menglan went to Hongmen alone to obtain the black jade intermittent ointment.
Hu Sheng led Ji Menglan to the door of a courtyard room, stopped outside the door, and after Ji Menglan placed the salute properly, he took Ji Menglan towards Hong Dachuan's study.
Just as the two of them left the door with their front feet, the next moment, after a maple tree in the center of the courtyard shook slightly, a man in black appeared under the tree, looked around and saw no one, and the man in black walked lightly towards the room where Ji Menglan had placed the salute before.
"No...... Is it on her?"
The man in black faced the bed quilt that was messy by himself, and the carry-on salute placed by Ji Menglan at the head of the bed, but he found nothing except some clothes.
Cluck...... Two tiles sounded from the roof, and the man in black leaned over vigilantly and rolled under the bed.
Squeak...... With a bang, another man in black flashed in through the window.
"Damn, someone was the first to board, since someone is one step faster than Lao Tzu. ”
Also facing the messy bed quilt that was turned over by the man in black before, the man in black scolded angrily, but before he could react, there was the sound of Tatata's footsteps outside the door.
Looking left and right, he found that there was no hiding place, but in a hurry, the man in black also leaned over and rolled under the bed.
Since the next day was the day of the Hongmen banquet, Hong Dachuan was discussing with the major forces who co-hosted the Hongmen banquet at this time, so Hu Sheng had to send Ji Menglan back to his residence first.
"The girl must have been tired all the way, so please rest first, and I will send someone to bring her a meal later, and I will come to inform her as soon as the head is done. ”
"That's all there is to it, Uncle Rahu. ”
"That's okay, the girl went to rest first, and Hu Sheng retired first. ”
Saying goodbye and seeing Hu Sheng leave, Ji Menglan pushed the door in.
