Volume 2 Lan Zhou Chapter 17 A Good Deal

As soon as Zhao Wu'an said this, it was as if heaven and earth had also obeyed his orders, and the sunset melted into the sea in an instant, and the lonely moon in the east mountain rose out of the clouds.

Lan Zhouzi, who was like a lonely rock, still stood on the shore, but there was a trace of doubt in his eyes.

The ship was silent.

Zhao Wuan looked at Li Huanglai, and Li Huanglai also stared at Zhao Wuan.

"From the very beginning, you didn't buy any Jinling armory blueprints, right?" Zhao Wu'an said lightly, "You made up this story, and spent so much effort to orchestrate a farce, the ultimate goal is just to get this jade pendant, right?" ”

Li Huanglai seemed to be stunned, and muttered, "What are you talking about......"

"From the very beginning, I thought it was strange that such an important thing as drawings was not carried with you, but was kept in the inn? I've been to that inn myself, and the backyard is out of the window of the guest room, and there are so many cooks running around that it's impossible to board it in the daytime. And from the time you left to the time you returned, it was less than an hour before and after, how could Lan Zhouzi enter the house to commit a crime in broad daylight and in full view of everyone?

"I've tried pretending to be a new guy from the store, sneaking into the building from the backyard until I stood in front of the room that Li Huanglai had booked, and no one noticed me. But Li Huanglai kept such a heavy treasure in the room, and the door lock must have been very reassuring to him, and I also studied it and found that it was impossible to pry the lock open in a short time. Moreover, when you go, there is no sign that the lock has been broken.

"It's weird. The room facing the entrance of the building is full of people, as long as Lan Zhouzi stays for a while, he will inevitably be bumped into, but why is it that in the entire building, only Chu Ting noticed him? Besides, Li Huanglai, if you want to protect this drawing, according to the psychology of normal people, you will definitely rent the room in it, why is it the first room?"

"Unless, you're ready for it to be stolen. Zhao Wu'an was categorical word by word.

His voice was not high, but it clearly fell into everyone's ears, and everyone else looked at Zhao Wu'an in shock, and even forgot to breathe. Merchant ships were as silent as death.

"Lan Zhouzi" on the shore frowned.

"After leaving the inn, you changed your clothes, turned back from the backyard, went around the back kitchen to the third-floor guest room, took out the key when no one was around, and went into the house and took out the wooden tubeβ€”that's the key to everything. For ordinary thieves, it is naturally easier to hide the room in the back, but for the owner of the house who pretends to be a thief, it is natural to shorten the process of entering the door as much as possible, so you specifically book the first room upstairs, just so that you can take things as soon as you come upstairs and reduce the possibility of being seen. But I should say that you are unlucky, you were still seen by Chu Ting.

"According to your original plan, take Duan Taoli back to the inn, only to find out that the drawings were stolen. Judging from Chu Ting's situation, he shouldn't know your plan, even if he doesn't speak, you can take Duan Taoli to look around, and then find the message you left in the teahouse outside the city, and then bring her into Zhongshan, the farmhouse you have already surveyed, and lead Lan Zhouzi to meet you.

"This 'Lan Zhouzi', I think it's the person on the shore now, an insignificant little person, hired by you for a few taels of gold to help you play a play. ”

Zhao Wu'an looked at the masked man on the shore, suddenly raised his voice, and shouted, "Is that so, Mo Dao?"

The masked man standing on the shore was taken aback, took a step back in fright, and trembled.

Li Huanglai was also surprised: "Do you know?"

As soon as the words came out, he knew that he had exposed his stuffing, and hurriedly covered his mouth, but it was to no avail. Duan Taoli looked at him with jealousy and hatred, as if he was looking at a disgusting mess of filth.

"When I went to the other side of the farmhouse, I saw a man running away in the forest, but I couldn't see his face at that time. Later, at the door of the farmhouse, I bumped into Tu Mi, who was covered in blood, and realized that she had killed these people, and then thought about her frighteningly narrow circle, and it was not difficult to guess who would let go. ”

Across the clear water, Zhao Wu'an coolly looked at the masked man on the shore. "After all, in Willow Leaf Villa, you once wanted to save her regardless of your own life, and she is a reward. ”

The masked man stood in place, silent.

After a moment of silence, Zhao Wu'an turned his gaze to Li Huang again, "You originally planned to do so, but you are planning to do things in the sky, on the way to the farmhouse, you were attacked by Chu Ting, not to mention, even the entire farmhouse was slaughtered by the Black Cloud Society." Your plan will naturally be stillborn and difficult to achieve. ”

"But there is no way to be endless, you were rescued by Duan Hunttian, and I heard him talk about the reason for going south to avoid trouble, so I decided to do the same again. Originally, your plan to lure Duan Taoli to Zhongshan was full of loopholes, but various situations happened one after another, so that you were taken away before you could say your purpose. When you arrive at Annan's ship, you are the least suspected. Actions are rarely suspected.

"First of all, you met Mo Dao again, and sent him to set off a few days in advance, and came south to wait here, while you secretly stuck an arrow in the bow of the boat while everyone was asleep. From the point of view of the feathered arrow piercing the plank, the archer is almost standing on the top of the wall and shooting arrows into the sky, but you can save yourself the trouble by nailing it to the ship. We had been on the ship in Annam for nearly a decade, and Mo Dao had every chance of getting here before us. Therefore, what An Qing said is actually right, although Lan Zhouzi is not on our ship, he is very close to the ship. ”

Hearing him suddenly praise himself, An Qing was stunned for a moment, and after coming back to his senses, he nodded like garlic, obviously agreeing with Zhao Wu'an's words very much.

Zhao Wu'an smiled quietly, "You forged the drawings and stole them, and hired someone else to pretend to be Lan Zhouzi, just for the jade pendant on Duan Taoli's waist." If it weren't for the fact that I had also obtained a piece of jade similar to it elsewhere, and knew that the secret it contained involved the survival of the Ju clan, I would never have seen through your plans. That's why I said, your play is really amazing. ”

"Is there anything else you want to say? Actually, I really want to know what you are doing with this jade pendant, after all, I am also shouldering the instructions of others. Zhao Wu'an looked at Li Huanglai with a flat look.

Li Huanglai was not as calm as Zhao Wu'an at all.

His face turned pale, and he stepped back step by step, until his back rested on the railing, and then he smiled miserably and whispered, "I won't stop there." ”

With that, he rolled off the merchant ship like a harrier turning over.

The situation took a turn for the worse, and everyone, including a master like Duan Hunttian, gasped and froze in place.

Only Zhao Wu'an suddenly stepped forward, threw off the sword box behind his back with one hand, and called out in his mouth: "Magpie stepping branches, pulsatilla, Su curtain cover." ”

Three swords of different lengths were unsheathed one after another, and Zhao Wu'an also flew off the merchant ship at this time.

On the distance of less than 30 zhang in front, the blue waves are mighty, Li Huanglai's robe sleeves are full of wind, standing at the head of the big wave, stepping on the waves, and looking resolute.

Zhao Wu'an stepped on the sword with his foot and quickly chased after him. Pulsatilla and magpie tread branches hang under their feet.

As his mind moved, Su Musha flew straight out and stabbed Li Huanglai in the back.

He didn't plan to ask for Li Huanglai's life, after all, Li Huang didn't kill anyone, and his crime was not to death. It's just that if he still wants to move forward and doesn't make concessions, Su Musha will inevitably hit him hard.

But Li Huanglai had no intention of stopping at all, and ran wildly without looking back, rushing all the way to the coast.

Mo Dao, who was standing on the shore and masked, looked helpless at this time. He was forced to agree to Li Huang to come here because of his livelihood, and he was also surprised by the sudden reunion with Zhao Wu'an.

Since he narrowly escaped from Liuye Villa on the night of the extinction, in the face of the current situation of everyone shouting and beating on the rivers and lakes, he did not dare to stay in Yangzhou for a long time, and he was reluctant all the way, and when he walked to Jiangning Mansion, he was already hungry and cold. Regarding the request made by Li Huanglai, who gave him the grace of a meal, Mo Dao naturally had no reason to refuse.

He entered the Zhongshan farmhouse and dressed up according to Li Huanglai's instructions, but he didn't wait for Li Huang to come, but waited for Tu Mi to come.

Waiting for the murderous Tu Mi to come.

In the face of the sudden catastrophe, the executor was still a person he knew and even relied on in his heart, Mo Dao had no courage to wait at all, and rushed out of the hiding place recklessly.

She saw him. At that moment, she seemed to be stunned for only a moment, and then she turned her gaze away and continued to slaughter those who were equally innocent.

"Let's go. ”

This was the only thing Tu Mi said to him.

Mo Dao had no other choice, he could only run. As for how to meet Li Huanglai again in Jiangning Mansion in the end, and how he would take over this task again, it was just forced by the situation and had to do it.

And seeing that Li Huanglai, who had been his own gold owner, was exposed in person, and the person who pursued him was Zhao Wu'an, who had met him in Willow Leaf Villa, Mo Dao, who knew this person's personality well, couldn't help but tremble at this time.

Zhao Wu'an had already called out his name before, and at this time, the two were only a few dozen feet apart, and once Li Huanglai was captured, Mo Dao would have no possibility of escaping.

And Li Huanglai, who was trying his best to raise his breath and flee on the sea, was also gradually shortened by Zhao Wu'an.

Whether it is to turn around and escape, or to help Li Huang escape, Mo Dao should at least do something at this time.

But just like at that time in Willow Leaf Villa, he just stood on the shore in a daze, as if he was stupid, staring at the two people who were chasing me on the sea.

Li Huanglai said angrily: "Zhao Wu'an, don't push people too much!"

"If you hit my sword, you're out of luck. Zhao Wu'an's words were unwavering.

Li Huanglai looked at Mo Dao angrily: "Do something, stupid!"

Mo Dao was stunned for a long time, calmed down, and responded as if he had just woken up from a dream: "Ah." ”

In the palm forest behind him, a hidden murderous aura suddenly rushed out and came straight to Mo Dao, but Mo Dao just stared at the two people approaching him in a daze, unaware of the danger behind him.

Zhao Wu'an said quickly: "Be careful!"

At the moment, he no longer hid any moves, and with a flick of his fingers, Su Musha galloped out like an arrow from the string, but he bypassed Li Huanglai and Mo Dao, like a meteor slashing the moon, blocking the enemy attack behind him for him.

Clang!

Gold and iron struck, lightning and stone fire, Mo Dao was startled by this business, staggered a few steps forward, and was caught up by Zhao Wu'an, protecting him.

Mo Dao was puzzled: "Zhao Jushi." ”

"You're here anyway. Zhao Wu'an didn't seem to be talking to him.

Mo Dao was stunned, and when he saw that Li Huang had escaped death and had fallen exhausted on the beach, he turned his head to look behind.

There, a fairy little Taoist aunt, with picturesque eyebrows and eyes, red lips, dressed in a flowing white robe, holding a three-foot long blade.

"Those who deserve to be killed, must be killed. Tu Mi's tone was full of sorrow.

"Why do you want to do this?" Zhao Wu'an didn't rush to make a move, but asked slowly.

"Because," Tu Mi said lightly, "this deal is very cost-effective." ”
