Chapter 119: Before Nightfall
In the evening, the sky and the earth were dark, the rain was continuous, and the layers of fog completely covered the gloomy and boundless wilderness and ancient forest under a cold and solemn curtain.
Outside the Meteoric Wind Cliff, in the dark and lonely secluded place of the barren valley, the north wind is biting, the barren grass is bleak, and in the bleak night, the corpses of the demon beasts that wantonly abandon the wilderness are bare on the ground, which looks extremely gloomy!
As night fell, a cold wind swept across the barren valley, bringing up scattered and broken bones and carrion, and the hunt shook. In the north wind, the stench of broken bones and carrion in the abandoned wilderness is monstrous, making the bottom of this deep cliff shrouded in fog even more cold!
At the bottom of the cliff valley, I saw a dilapidated and simple thatched canopy in the damp place of the dense forest full of fog, and the fire in the canopy was faintly bright, slightly dispelling the dense fog all around.
In the canopy, two figures, one black and one gray, could be faintly seen standing among them, and I saw the black-clothed man with a gloomy face at the head, standing with his hands tied, his cold triangular eyes squinting slightly, not knowing what he was waiting for.
As for the other gray-clothed and fat-faced man serving next to him, he looked helpless, sometimes looking around, sometimes frowning and covering his nose, waving his hand, constantly dispelling the wisps of foul smell faintly emanating from his surroundings.
Although the fat man in gray has always been uneasy, he has always maintained a humble and lowly posture between his humble and humble figures.
Just as the gray-clothed man was waiting impatiently, a frivolous voice of disdain suddenly came from the depths of the thick fog. In the words, the sarcasm is incomparable!
"Stains! Lord Qi is really Lord Qi, and he really knows how to choose a place. This kind of rotting corpse abandoned by birds does not, except for flies and rotting maggots as treasures, I am afraid that even a rabbit is not willing to live and hide in it, and you are so obsessed with dependence, no wonder you can only shrink into the ground forever and do those unseemly deeds!"
As he spoke, the sound of dead branches shutting fell, and a dark figure dressed in a cloak and a hat appeared from the depths of the dense foggy wilderness and dense forest in the face of the rain.
However, the black-clothed man under the canopy seemed to have completely ignored the sarcasm and disdain of the figure in the hat, and the cold meaning revealed in his cold and sharp triangular eyes has never changed in the slightest. It wasn't until the figure in the hat stepped into the canopy that he spoke coldly and spit out four words indifferently, "How's it going?"
Looking at the black-clothed man's appearance of ignoring his sarcasm and contempt, the figure of the hat seemed to have long been surprised, and after walking to the prepared seat and sitting down, he took off the pitch-black hat that covered his face.
Under the hazy candlelight, I saw a miserable white and sickly face conspicuous, although the white fog in the canopy was vast, but it could be vaguely distinguished from the delicate skin of the figure, this is a young face.
Picking up the tea brewed on the table, the fair-skinned young man finally replied loudly after lifting the lid and tasting the tea, but his frivolous expression seemed full of playfulness.
"What else?"
"Of course, it's a complete loss of Ye Yi's trace!"
I really didn't expect that after three days and three nights of sleepless dragnet searching, even the Yuan Gang powerhouse under Young Master Ye Chao made several shots, but to no avail. This Ye Yi is as if he has evaporated from the world, no matter who he is, no trace of him can be found!"
Speaking of which, between the originally frivolous expressions of the fair-skinned young man, he gradually became restrained.
"It doesn't seem to be exactly you and your subordinates, these rabble of waste! Even Ye Chao took action in person, and after three days, he couldn't find half a trace of Ye Yi's waste!"
"Stained! Such a strange thing, no wonder it will make the lord and young man personally move the imperial order, let me stop the task at hand for a while, and also order me to assist you in secret. ”
Talking about the words that appeared in his mouth, as if he had touched some taboo that could never be violated, the fair-skinned young man who was originally absent-minded finally completely restrained the playfulness on his face and became solemn.
"Although I can't find any trace of Ye Yi, it's not nothing, tonight, after the first watch, no matter whether the sixth red-sleeved pink butterfly will appear or not, Ye Chao will step back at that time, leading the family disciples to leave the Meteorite Cliff and return to the Ye family. And until now, the five red-sleeved pink butterflies that appeared in the Meteorite Cliff have all been bagged by my Ye family Tianjiao. ”
"Although I don't know why the red-sleeved pink butterfly that appeared in the Falling Wind Cliff did not show the number of six clusters flying, but at this moment, the last red-sleeved pink butterfly in the Falling Wind Cliff did not appear, but it is a fact. According to Lu Liuyun's cold and stubborn temperament, it seems that she will not give up if she does not achieve her goal. ”
"At the same time, when Ye Chao led the team to leave the Meteorite Cliff, I would also take Ye Wang and Ye Ping who were surrounded by Lu Liuyun by the way. And at that time, all the disciples of my Ye family were withdrawn, and only the people of the Lu Mansion were left alone in the cliff, and you could take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack and capture Lu Liuyun. ”
"At that time, even if you can't complete the imperial decree issued by the Lord Shao, and you can't retrieve the Fengluo Crystal that Ye Yi took away from the Lord Shao, as long as you can search for the legendary fifth-order spiritual artifact from Lu Liuyun's body: the Eight-Leaf Meteorite Wind Fruit, you can also present the treasure that the Lord Shao wants!"
Between the words of the fair-skinned young man Sen Han, there was an undoubted coldness, as if the news he provided to the black-clothed man at this moment was not just a simple suggestion for reference.
Instead, as a messenger, he gave an order to the black-clothed man who was waiting for his instructions, which must be followed!
After explaining to the man in black standing opposite, the fair-skinned young man's sickly and miserable face finally became full of fun again. Only this time, the fair-skinned boy did not ridicule the man in black again, but warned the man in black in a threatening tone.
"Of course, if the news you sent me this morning is not true, then all is well!"
"But, if you are afraid that the Lord will punish you for your crimes, you fabricate the facts to deceive me, and the mission will eventually fail!"
"I think that at that time, no matter how much the Lord relies on you, you will not be able to escape the wrath of the Lord Shao, and you will end up in a terrible end!"
However, in the face of the white-skinned young man's cold threatening warning, the expression of the man in black did not change at all. Not only did he not open his mouth to make any promises, but even the cold and indifferent meaning revealed by the cold and sharp triangular eyes on his forehead did not change in the slightest.
But at this time, as the white-skinned young man's threatening warning fell, the obscene man with a fat face who had been serving on the side actually stood up quite boldly, bowed his head, and respectfully bowed to the fair-skinned young man who was sitting in the lead.
"Don't worry, my lord, I, Liu San, dare to pat the horse and guarantee that there will be no falsehood in this matter, as long as I can catch the fourth lady of the Lu Mansion, I will definitely be able to get the fifth-order meteorite fruit that the adult wants!"
The fair-skinned young man who originally looked sickly had already been unhappy with the cold eyes of the black-clothed man all along, and at this moment he found that an inconspicuous slave dared to speak wildly to his mouth, and the fair-skinned young man suddenly smiled sideways. Above the sickly pale face, a cruel color suddenly emerged.
"Oh, it's you, why do you dare to promise me, do you know what will happen to me if you make up a lie to deceive me!"
With a wave of his hand, a purple and green sword was already in the palm of his hand, as if the fat man's answer in front of him was a little dissatisfied with him, and he would slash it out with a sword and slaughter it casually!
has been crawling in the black market for many years, and in the face of the angry fair-skinned young man, Liu San did not show any consciousness of death, but became more and more respectful and flattering between maintaining a humble and lowly expression.
"Adults, please don't be impatient, although the villain Liu San was born humble and is not worthy of talking to adults, but the promise that the villain just made to adults is not a wild word. Look, don't believe me, sir!"
Hush!
As soon as the words fell, Liu San put his finger in his mouth and let out a crisp and loud whistle.
Looking at Liu San's strange behavior, just when the fair-skinned young man was puzzled by this, he saw a cheerful sound of beasts and dogs, coming from the nearby weeds.
Barking!
The sound of the beast was cheerful and pleasant, and it immediately attracted the attention of the fair-skinned young man, and in the blink of an eye, he looked in the direction of the pile of corpses to the west of the canopy.
I saw a strange shadow swaying in the barren grass covered by layers of mist, and then, a dark red beast bathed in blood came out from under the rotting and smelly corpse of the demon beast among the grass.
As soon as the blood-covered beast burst out of the grass, it jumped towards Liu San's location, and finally surrounded Liu San's feet, licking Liu San's toes happily from time to time.
Although the appearance of this blood-infected little demon beast was very ugly, it was difficult to distinguish it, but after feeling the cheerful and lively appearance of the demon beast surrounding Liu San's feet, and the faint aura hidden by the blood found from the demon beast's body, after some comparative thinking, the fair-skinned young man finally recognized it.
Is this a soul-seeking dog?
Thinking of the characteristics of the Soul Seeking Dog, between the corners of the fair-skinned young man's pale mouth, he couldn't help but have a faint sense of playfulness, and with a wave of his hand, he finally removed the purple and green sword pointing above Liu San's neck.
Call!
Seeing that the crisis was lifted, even if Liu San was allowed to be in the black market and had developed a flattering personality that he had cultivated for many years, he couldn't help but quietly reach out and wipe the cold sweat all over his forehead, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Compared with the sinister nature of the black market, this moody Ye family disciple brought him a stronger sense of crisis.
When Liu San was secretly relieved, between the sickly and pale face of the fair-skinned young man, he inadvertently revealed the regret of entering Baoshan but returning empty-handed.
It's a pity that this soul-seeking dog has already recognized its owner, unless it is an extremely close person who can let it recognize its owner for the second time after the death of its owner. Otherwise, it will be difficult for ordinary people to make them confess the Lord again!
Although he regretted it in his heart, between the fair-skinned young man's miserable expression, he hid this greedy emotion very well, and after putting the purple and green sword into the sword box, he finally looked at Liu San and questioned him.
"With your cultivation in the condensation period, this Soul Seeker Dog shouldn't be something you can obtain, right? You should have inherited it from his previous master, right? I think it's the news about the fifth-order Meteoric Wind Fruit, and you also heard about it from that previous master, right?"
"Tell me everything!"
"Yes!"
Looking at the fair-skinned young man's unfathomable appearance, as if he had already seen through everything, Liu San suddenly didn't dare to hide half a point, and immediately told everything he knew about it.
"Back to the adult, this soul-seeking dog is indeed not a villain's thing, it is a relic left by the family teacher to the villain before he died, and the reason why the villain knew that the fourth lady of Lu Fu was pregnant with a fifth-order meteorite was also told by the family teacher before he died. ”
"Three years ago, on a dark and windy night, the tutor seemed to have met this thing that made him the happiest, and he drank himself as if he were very happy. And from the words of the tutor talking to himself after drinking, I knew that the reason why the tutor was happy was that during the day, when the tutor was wandering around the Wanhong Chamber of Commerce, he met Lu Liuyun, the fourth lady of the Lu Mansion, and through the abnormality of the soul search dog, he found that Lu Liuyun's body was carrying a high-level magic weapon made of the fifth-order meteoric wind fruit. ”
"From the obsessive look on the teacher's face at the time, I knew that the treasure found by the teacher must be extraordinary! Sure enough, the words that came out from behind the teacher confirmed my guess, and in the drunkenness, the teacher said that he had never seen such a graceful and magical thing in his body, and even the treasure of this thing, it can be said that he couldn't find a few pieces in the entire Muhua County!"
When Liu San said this, on his face full of meat, it was rare to see a little sad gaze.
"It's a pity that the family teacher was drunk at that time, and he was carried away by greed, and impulsively, he actually entered the county guard mansion at night, in a vain attempt to steal the magic weapon on Lu Liuyun's body, which was made of high-grade meteoric wind fruit. Since that night, the tutor has never returned. ”
"Whenever I think about it, I..."
Stop!
Just when Liu San was about to cover his nose and cry, between the white young man's miserable face, a trace of impatience suddenly appeared, and with a wave of his hand, he directly interrupted what Liu San wanted to say next.
Then he turned his head to look at the man in black and asked him seriously, "When the day passes, after Ye Chao leads the team to leave the Meteorite Cliff, there shouldn't be any problem for you to immediately lead the team to arrest Lu Liuyun, right?"
Although he opened his mouth to ask, how could there be any meaning of discussing with the fair-skinned young man's cold words? Rather than giving advice to the man in black, it might as well be saying that he had once again given an order to the man in black that must be followed!
However, this time, in exchange for the cold eyes of the man in black. It's just that compared to the previous times, this time the man in black explained a little bit to him.
"No! At least you need to wait until after midnight! If you act too early, Ye Chao's people haven't gone far, and once he finds out, this action will most likely fall short!"
"At the same time, there are Ye Chao's subordinates everywhere in the vicinity these days, in order not to attract his attention, I have already dispersed the action, and at this moment, my subordinates have not yet assembled, and I cannot immediately implement the arrest plan after Ye Chao has just led the team away. ”
"What's more, the fifth-order Meteorite Wind Fruit that Lu Liuyun is carrying is the last chance for you and me to pray for forgiveness from the Lord, we must not be rash and hasty, we must make the most thorough preparations!"
Although he knew that the man in black clearly wanted to take the credit alone, the fair-skinned young man couldn't find any reason to refute it at the moment, and between his miserable expressions, the blue and red changed for a long time, and finally had to nod in approval.
"Okay!
Although he gritted his teeth and accepted the plan of the man in black, in the miserable eyes of the fair-skinned young man, he still did not forget to threaten and warn the man in black.
"But I want you to remember for me! This operation must only succeed, not fail!"
