Chapter 429: Two Letters
"Don't worry about the Zhan family, what are your plans in the future? Driving away the silver sword Ying Dongkui seems to be a trick, Bi Fuzi has indeed lost his eyes and ears, but we have also lost the clue to track him down, obviously this silver sword Ying Dongkui is a ghost who is afraid of death, and he hid the King of Hun Tian here
The breath spread out too early, and the grass startled the snake so that the King of Hun Tianwang slipped away. ”
"He'll come back to me, he'll come back as soon as the news passes, and he knows I'm not going to let him go, and he's not going to let me go easily. ”
"He has already shown cowardice so clearly, how dare he come to you again?"
"When did he show his cowardice?" asked Xu Feilong in surprise.
"That day in the Zhan family, they had an absolute advantage over six against two, but he actually offered to release the thirty-six members of the Zhan family in exchange for you to go to the appointment, isn't it a clear show of cowardice, what is it?"
"Of course not, you haven't seen it yet? There are three reasons why he did that: first, it was almost dawn at that time, and if he alarmed the government, he wouldn't be able to leave? Second, he knew that his martial arts couldn't beat me, and he couldn't take advantage of it. Third, although there were six of them, the other three hostages were actually vulnerable, so with three against two, he was not sure of winning at all. The fourth point is that when he saw the Shuanghua Sword, he had actually made up his mind, in the case of similar martial arts, the strength of the weapon was decisive, if he really fought me fairly, he knew that he had no hope of winning at all. Alas, I just don't know where to go to them right now. ”
"Why don't you try your luck at the grave of Chaohu Snake Langjun? Maybe he's waiting for you there. ”
"It's impossible, someone noticed that there were a lot of dark shadows going east to the river last night, apparently they had already gone by boat. We'll spend another half a day inquiring, and if we don't find it again, we'll go to the river tomorrow to find out where they are. Hey, when did the old porter leave?"
The old porter is gone, but the dishes and chopsticks on the table are still there.
"We just talked, and we didn't notice him. Leng Mei Shura said.
A shopkeeper approached with a smile and said with a smile: "May I ask which one is surnamed Zhou?"
"My surname is Zhou. Xu Feilong replied.
The shopkeeper took out a letter from the bottom and handed it over and said, "There is a little brother who handed this letter to the little one, saying that he would hand it over to a guest named Zhou Yong, is Zhou Gongzi called this?"
"I am Zhou Yong. ”
"Then please take it. The little brother said, don't reply. ”
"Thank you. ”
The shopkeeper left, and he stared at the unsealed blank envelope in his hand, stunned, and suspicious. He is not familiar with the surrounding area, who will send him a letter?
"Take it apart and take a look, what do you say?" Leng Mei Shura urged him.
Xiaojiuge nodded, but he didn't take it apart directly, but carefully took out the letter inside with chopsticks, and unfolded it: "King Hun Tian is about to go to the Zhan family house near Qianqiu Stream, and find Second Master Zhan to ask about the whereabouts of Snake Langjun." ”
"Is there a name?" asked Leng Mei Shura.
"It's not named, it's a headless letter with no head or end. However, didn't King Hun Tian already ask about the death of Snake Lang Jun from Second Master Zhan? Why did he go to the Zhan family's house to find Second Master Zhan to ask questions?"
"It's really weird, could this letter be a suspicious array set up by the King of Hunts, leading us to his ambush?"
"This ...... Not like that. ”
"What are you going to do?"
"Go for a walk. Xu Feilong said categorically.
"But ......"
"It is better to believe what you have than not to believe what you don't. Let's be careful, maybe it's really as you expected, but it's a clue, no one can get a tiger's den? I'll go to see tonight, you're waiting for me in the city. ”
"You don't want me to go, I want to go. Leng Mei Shura said with a cold face, and angrily dropped the chopsticks and stopped eating: "If you don't go, everyone won't go, and if you want to go, you can go together." ”
"Okay! Let's go. Seriously, if you don't go, I'm a little worried I won't be able to deal with them. Wait a minute, let's inquire about the location of the Qianqiu Stream. ”
Qianqiu Stream is not difficult to find, just twenty miles northwest of the city.
The news also said that the terrain around Qianqiu Jian is very low, and it is a swamp country when it rains heavily, and there are a lot of swamps there, even in broad daylight, it is easy to get lost in it.
Second Master Zhan's house is surrounded by swamps on all sides, and the trails lead in all directions, but there are still roads in and out. Thirty years ago, there were about a dozen families living in this area, but as the floods worsened every year, all of them moved out.
In fact, it has become an uninhabited, abandoned village, with only occasional shelter from the rain by villagers passing by.
However, there are less than five houses that can really shelter from the rain, even counting the Zhan family's houses, and the other houses have collapsed one after another. As soon as it gets dark, it becomes a playground for small animals.
Because it is a swamp, there is often a swamp gas spew, and you can see fireflies from time to time at night, which is commonly known as ghost fire, and the surrounding people feel that there are ghosts here, so at night, no one approaches this area, and there are many terrifying rumors that the black lights are blinding.
Today, however, is clearly different.
As soon as it dawned on this day, Ji Lan, the owner of Ji Shaozhuang, and his wife Shang Hui would merge with the first-arrived Poison Impermanence and Zhang Dawei.
"Elder Zhang, what's the situation? My father sent a junior to ask for news. The owner of Ji Shaozhuang asked respectfully.
"We found out that Second Master Zhan took four people yesterday afternoon, took a small sedan chair, and sneaked into the Zhan family's compound. Zhang Dawei said.
"Did you go with me?"
"Yes, when I got there, three of his servants were cleaning the house, including the old porter. You didn't catch the old porter last night?"
"We didn't see the old gatehouse along the way, near the tea pavilion where the old-timers left secret marks, and the surrounding villagers didn't know where the old gatehouse went. ”
"Oh! forget it, it's fate. It's time for Bifuzi to come, right?
"The people of the government are constantly patrolling around, and the old man thinks that it is not appropriate to come during the day, so he sent a message to ask the two of them to find a place to lurk and monitor first, and then come to capture Second Master Zhan at night. ”
"What are you guys? Are you all cowards?" said Poison Impermanence unceremoniously: "Three or four people with a group of bluffing guys scared you? I really can't believe that you are the characters who are attacking cities and plundering land and slaughtering thousands of people." ”
Ji Shaozhuang's eyes widened angrily, and he snorted coldly and took out a letter from his arms, handed it to Zhang Dawei and said: "This is an anonymous letter that my father received from a strange villager. ”
Zhang Dawei opened the letter and looked at it, stunned.
