The starlight was dim, and there was no visible object in this room.

"Wow, whoa. ”

A flame ignited from the fire box, and someone carefully blocked the air flow in the room for this flame and moved to a lamppost.

The six-sided lamp curtain covers the flames, and the shadow reflected on the wall is the six fairies depicted on the lamp curtain, and the candlelight swaying drives the six fairies to dance, which is ethereal, but it is a pity that such a scene has failed to cause a ripple in the eyes of the visitors.

The room has a table and two chairs against the wall. The back of the chair rests firmly against the wall, and the person who comes to sit on the chair with the hem of his robe lifted, leans back slightly, and fits his entire back against the back of the chair.

Mr. Two.

Kneading the bridge of his nose with his fingers, the powerful figure of the Haihe Gang was a little tired.

"Since Senior Brother is here, there is no need to hide. It's not like you were a child, are you going to play this game of hide and seek for the rest of your life?" Mr. Two closed his eyes slightly and said to the corner of the wall.

"It's boring, you're found every time. ”

Mr. Er opened his eyes and looked at the man in front of him, stretched out his finger and pointed to the place where he came out and said, "If you don't mind, you can hide in another place next time." Hiding in the same place every time, and not hiding your breath at all, you really think I am a child?"

Mr. Two's brother sat on the chair opposite Mr. Two's table, and his movements were the same as Mr. Two's. He moistened his throat and said, "Senior brother, I watched you grow up, I don't treat you as a child, when you are what? Tsk, in the blink of an eye, my junior brother is so slim. No, it should be said that Yushu is in the wind......"

Mr. Second glanced at the senior brother, sighed, and interrupted the senior brother's chatter: "Senior brother......"

Mr. Er's senior brother was stunned, and then crossed his fingers and continued: "I remember when you were three years old. One night I wet the bed and the whole bed was wet with you. That made me angry, but I couldn't fight, I had no choice but to get up and help you change your pants and bedspread. And ......"

"Senior brother!"

Mr. Er's face turned red rarely, slowed down his tone, and said with a straight face: "Senior brother, Mr. asked you to come to me, what should you order?"

Mr. Two's brother and Mr. Two are from the same school, and the Mr. Two is the master of the two. There are three disciples under him, and Mr. Two is the second disciple of them.

Mr. Er's senior brother's surname is Yu, his name is Ran, his name is Shuyan, and he is the eldest disciple of Mr.

Yu Ran spread out his hands, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "The little old man asked me to come and see how our lovely second junior brother is doing, and by the way, let me bring a message." ”

"What message did the gentleman tell you to bring?"

Yu Ran shook the hair on his forehead and said quite angrily: "The message is that we all love you!"

Rao is the determination of Mr. Er, and at this moment he has the urge to go up and kill this senior brother, but fortunately, he endured it in time, first, he couldn't beat it, and second, the connotation expressed in this sentence is more far-reaching than its literal meaning.

Mr. Two nodded and replied, "Okay, I see." ”

Yu Ran turned his head to look at Mr. Er and said, "What do you know?"

After speaking, he wiped his hair bun and said: "Alas, it is my fault, I have the high hopes of Mr. Down, then again, the little old man knows that he is lazy, and he will not come by himself." You said who those people were, and I don't know if you could fight them. Well, if I can't win, I'll run, anyway, the junior brother is here, how do you say that? Yes, yes, dead junior brother, immortal senior brother, Amitabha. ”

Mr. Er shook his head, he blamed his husband in his heart, blamed his husband for the words given to Yu Ran.

Shu Yan, why not talk about it?

Leaving Yu Ran alone there to break his thoughts, Mr. Er got up and left the room. Compared with Yu Ran's unreliability, Mr. Er should carefully ponder the intention of his master, who lives deep in the mountains, to say this. Mr. Er's steps paused, remembered a very important matter, turned back and forth, and when he returned to the room, the senior brother who was sitting in the chair was nowhere to be found. Frowning slightly, Mr. Two looked at the shadows of the six fairies on the wall, hooked his fingers lightly, and one of the fairies stopped dancing and bowed slightly......

There was a figure standing outside Yao Jiu's room, hesitated for a moment, and when the figure was about to retreat, an old voice sounded in the room, "Xi'er, come in." ”

Hearing this, the figure responded, "Master, it's so late, haven't you slept yet?"

As he spoke, the figure pushed open the door, and everything in the room was still the same as if he had just moved in, the only difference was the old man sitting on the chair.

The old man held the flask in one hand and the table in the other, his back to the door, and the reflection in the depths of his eyes was the moonlight outside the windowsill.

There were no candles in the room, and by the moonlight, Chen Wenshan walked to the table and lit the candles on the table, and the faint light of the fire swayed, illuminating the faces of the master and apprentice clearly.

Chen Wenshan picked a chair and moved it to Yao Jiu's side and sat down.

"Master, the apprentice came here late at night to ask Master to help him answer his doubts about what he had seen and heard during this time. ”

Yao Jiu turned his head to look at the apprentices beside him by candlelight, looked at the apprentice's solemn expression, and said with a faint smile: "Oh, what kind of doubts make you so entangled, and you still want to come to me to seek answers?"

Chen Wenshan's thumb on the desktop unconsciously rubbed against the wood-painted tabletop, and the smooth feel made him gradually settle down, and he repeatedly typed the manuscript in his mind, sorting out his own problems so that he could better express his thoughts.

"Master, the first question is, we've been here for a while, and if you think about it, I haven't done too many things of practical significance. In the past few days, Master has not given any hints. I have thought about Master's intentions, but I have never understood the point. Master, can you tell the apprentice what you are asking me to do on this stage for?"

Yao Jiu propped his head with his hands, tilted his head to look at the flickering candle flame, and said, "Oh, you tell me the reason you can think of first." ”

Chen Wenshan groaned slightly, "Master, the first place we went to when we first came here was the Danwang Pavilion, and then when we brought me to the Spring Breeze Inn to drink, they told me about the character of Bai Xiaosheng and the meaning of 'broker'. I followed Master's train of thought to gather information about the market and the wine market. If I'm not mistaken, Master wants to tell me the connection of Danwang Tower. ”

Yao Jiu raised his eyebrows lightly, his eyes glowed with a slight light, or because the candlelight was getting brighter and brighter, "Oh, are you sure?"

Chen Wenshan shook his head and said, "No, I still have to go to a place to confirm." ”

"Tell me. ”

"Casinos, casinos for the Haihe Gang. Chen Wenshan accentuated the three words Haihe Gang in the back.

"In addition to Danwanglou, what I want to know more is what they are fighting for, this matter can never be drawn from the mouths of some small people, just talking about the power of this Sichuan City, it is impossible to cause such a conflict, although there is no intuitive feeling, but the light and secret have begun to appear, including my murder that day is in their calculations. ”

Yao Jiu asked, "Where did you see it?"

"Master wasn't at the inn that morning. ”

"That's it?"

"No, there is. I remember the scene of the murder very clearly, it was remote enough, I killed them in the morning, and the rumors in the city began to fly all over the city in the afternoon, if this was not enough, then on the second day, the fact that Yu Laosan of the Haihe Gang came to me is enough to prove a lot. The apprentice also wondered if it was a coincidence, and if my answer was yes, then your apprentice was a fool. ”

"I have learned about Yu Laosan, and the people in Mingchuan City have mixed reviews of him, but there is one evaluation that is consistent, that is, his temperament is violent. ”

"I think he should have been aware of it that day, or had some concerns, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to get out of the Red Apricot Building so safely. It is not excluded that the identity I created made him jealous, including the state I unintentionally became at that time, which may be the reason why he did not start, but I prefer the former. ”

"Master, after all that, you haven't told me the answer to the first question?" Chen Wenshan stopped analyzing and asked Yao Jiu directly.

Yao Jiu touched the core flame of the candle burning on the table with his old finger of the stick, and the unburned candle oil adhered to Yao Jiu's finger, Yao Jiu withdrew his finger, put it in front of his eyes and rubbed it, and then slowly said: "Famous city, famous river." Hmph, the history is heavy! You said that you have been to all parts of the market to find out, are you sure you really know everything?"

Chen Wenshan pondered for a while and said, "I don't have it." ”

"It's not your fault, hundreds of years of heritage, deliberately hidden secrets, it's not easy for you to know so much. If I had me, I might not have done as well as you. I can only say one word to you about your question right now. ”

"I hope Master will tell me. ”

Yao Jiu put his palm back on the table and said, "There are a lot of things that have been buried in this Sichuan City, and I didn't expect that this place would be so involved with you before I came here. It was a whim to put you on stage, but now I want to have fun with them. ”

Chen Wenshan originally subconsciously wanted to ask, "Who are they?", but when it came to his mouth, he changed his words, "Master, is there any certainty of victory?"

Yao Jiu shook his head and replied, "Unknowable. ”

Chen Wenshan's pupils contracted suddenly, and he was secretly startled in his heart.

"Master, was this bureau set up for me from the beginning?"

"No, this bureau is too small, and it would not have been possible to attract so many people if it weren't for some coincidence. ”

"Coincidence?"

"Yes, coincidence. And you are the biggest coincidence. ”

"Master, the apprentice was just a beggar in the capital in the past, and he became a disciple of the Qingyun Sect by some chances, and he was still the most slightest wood-chopping handyman. The disciples really don't understand what they have to covet in themselves. ”

"You have to remember that you still have an identity, and that is my disciple Yao Jiu. Whatever they're trying to do, you'll have to ask me first. Yao Jiu's fingertips tapped on the table, and said with a smile: "Is it because they lost their horses, or if I, Yao Jiu, broke my arm, I have to try to find out, right?"

"Master, do you have another question?"

Speaking of this, Chen Wenshan fell silent, and his hand was uncertain.

Chen Wenshan's silence didn't make Yao Jiu react too much, he was waiting.

"Master, how many did you save that day?"

Putting aside what Yao Jiu said just now, Chen Wenshan knew that he had made a mistake in the development process of the matter, if it was a play, all the 'actors' would die accordingly in the time after the play. The arrogant and arrogant gangs, the soft-hearted followers, and the helpless grandparents and grandchildren.

"The dead can't be saved, the living can't die. ”

Chen Wenshan's palms that kept clenching froze there, this answer was not what he wanted, even so, this answer was still the best answer.

"Master, tomorrow I want to go to the casino. ”

"Good. ”

Chen Wenshan stood up, his mood was not high, and he was a little sluggish when he stepped forward. Yao Jiu's room has a threshold, and the soles of Chen Wenshan's feet stepped on the threshold, and his body was slightly raised.

"Shirt, some things are often unsatisfactory, Iron Ruthless is like this, and so are you. ”

Chen Wenshan stood tall on the threshold, turned around and said, "Master, if they come to see you next time, remember to help me ask why you must kill them." ”

Yao Jiu's upper and lower eyelids squeezed to the middle to let his eyes focus on Chen Wenshan's body at the threshold, the figure of this young man made Yao Jiu a little trance, and under the blurred lights, the scattered halo gradually converged clearly.

Yao Jiu turned around and got up and walked to the windowsill, looking at everything outside the window, the breeze came slowly, and lifted the long white beard on the old man's chin, "Okay." ”

Chen Wenshan, who received the response, stepped on the threshold with his feet together, straightened up, and respectfully bowed to Yao Jiu, saying, "Apprentice retires." ”

......

This conversation between master and apprentice stopped at the place where the two beggars lived and died.

Chen Wenshan, who had left Yao Jiu's room, stopped at the gate of the Spring Breeze Inn for a moment, then turned around and walked into an avenue.

Yao Jiu in the room leaned on the windowsill and looked at the moonlight in the sky, shook the wine gourd in his hand, and placed it on the edge of the windowsill.

In a private room under the moon, there is a yellow gourd with half a pot of wine left on the windowsill......
