16. Diversion to Tangmen

"Uncle Li, this is..."

Xia Ren was really a little puzzled, he didn't remember that he had ever seen this black-veined box.

The old man's cloudy pupils turned up slightly, and he stretched out his hand and said, "Give me the identity plate." ”

Seeing that he didn't answer, Xia Ren narrowed his eyes and didn't move, and the two were a little stalemate for a while.

The old man snorted coldly, knocked down the wooden table and said, "This is a task designated by the sect family that must be completed by you, and after completing it, you can get 2000 family contribution points."

I don't know what kind of luck you went to get the designation..."

Xia Ren asked lightly, "What is the task?"

The old man said impatiently: "Send this black-patterned box to Xichuan Tangmen, and the task will be completed." You don't have to worry, our Xia family has always been good friends with the Tang Sect, maybe you will be rewarded with two gadgets by the Tang Sect this time. ”

Luoshui City is in the east, Xichuan is in the west, and the direction is completely opposite, if you take this task, then you will not be able to rush to meet the people of the Winter Society.

Seeing that Xia Ren was silent, the old man snorted heavily: "Why, I don't know how many people have to do this kind of designated task, you are unwilling?"

After weighing it left and right, Xia Ren decided to accept it.

Because it's not yet time to tear up your face with the Zong family, and this matter is full of weirdness.

On the side of Luoshui City, the momentum of the Tianlin Winter Society's heaven and earth network has been formed, and the interception and killing of the sect is almost a foregone conclusion. It shouldn't make much of a difference whether you go or don't go on your own.

Thinking of this, he took the box with a smile, and said tentatively at will: "Uncle Li, how can there be such a thing! I just don't know why I am appointed as a small person to complete it?"

The old man sneered and said, "If I knew I was still here?"

So he took the identity plate, and after recording the mission information in it, he pushed it back bluntly and said, "Go ahead, look at it!"

This attitude made Xia Ren a little crying and laughing, could it be jealousy?

Then this mission could really be a fat gap.

He didn't say much, carefully hid the black-patterned box in his arms, led a miscellaneous black horse assigned to the task, carried a short knife and went straight all the way, and then rode out of Red Leaf City from the West City Gate.

--

Island in the middle of the lake.

The Jackdaw Pavilion was shrouded in fog, and it was hard to see.

Dozens of wooden houses are quiet, as if they were empty.

The only thing that connects the island to the Xia family is a thick bamboo knot of different lengths, which are interconnected with each other and float on the forked tributaries of Baihong Lake, while the bamboo knots at both ends are hung on iron stakes on both sides of the bank with metal wires.

The water rushes and makes a crashing sound, all at once, like a slight sound in the fish's eyes, which is quite rhythmic in the mist.

In this way, it becomes a simple and unique "giant bamboo pontoon bridge" for the killers in the Jackdaw Pavilion to enter and exit.

At this time, there was a man and a woman standing on the side of the Xia family on the giant bamboo pontoon bridge, talking about something under an ancient tree as shady as a car cover.

The young man was dressed in vermilion, and his arrogant face was mixed with a slight coldness.

On the other side is a cold woman wearing a goose-yellow long gauze dress and wearing a famous sword three-ring green snake.

"Yanyu, this is the last time I will go out on a mission, and I will slowly take over the family affairs when I come back. When he is on the right track, his father will send someone to the Bai family to formally propose. ”

"Hmph!" the second miss of the Bai family pouted, and Miss Yi was unhappy.

Xia Kongji snorted coldly in his heart, but his face showed a trace of embarrassment: "Yanyu, you also know that although I am a noble sect son, I am the only one who has no freedom. Every day, even if it is such a small thing as food, clothing, housing and transportation, there are countless pairs of eyes staring. ”

Bai Yanyu retorted: "You are the son of the sect, who dares to stare at you?"

"The elders want to examine my conduct, the Jackdaw Pavilion will keep an eye on my martial arts progress, and the rest of the clan will see if I am famous in the rivers and lakes. Xia Kongji lowered his voice.

Then he seemed to complain, frowning and said, "Even my mother refused to give me a secret weapon of the Tang Sect, saying that she wanted me to be self-reliant." ”

"Huh?" Bai Yanyu became a little curious, "But she is your mother, how can it be? What if something happens to you on the rivers and lakes?"

Xia Kongji showed a sad look and said, "It was fine before, but for some reason, my mother suddenly became indifferent to me three years ago..."

He raised his head slightly, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped, and finally sighed and said: "I have talked to you a little bit on weekdays, I know it, but I do have too many bodies that I can't help myself." I'm really sorry if I you off. ”

His eyes are so sincere that people have to believe it.

Miss Bai Er's heart softened, stomped her feet, and said, "Okay, okay, then I forgive you." ”

After that, she stretched out her jade lotus-like arm from her goose yellow long sleeves, and actually grabbed a volume of cyan bamboo slips in her palm, and whispered: "My temper is not very good... Don't mind too much. This is for you..."

Xia Kongji's eyes lit up, and while casually saying something like "where there is", he took the bamboo slip and slowly opened it.

There are only two sentences written on the cyan bamboo book.

This goes to Luoshui, the big murderer. The variables are gone, little murderer.

The font was presented for just a few seconds, and then it dissipated into green smoke, leaving only an empty bamboo book.

Xia Kongji looked at the girl beside him sincerely, suddenly put his hands on her fragrant shoulders, and said softly: "Thank you, Yanyu." ”

The second miss of the Bai family suddenly had a little faster heartbeat, she closed her eyes and didn't dare to look at it again, her face was a little red, and she said, "It's good if I can help you, you can go and get busy." ”

Xia Kongji nodded and said, "Then I'll go back to the Jackdaw Pavilion first." ”

He immediately turned around and walked in the direction of the giant bamboo pontoon, his face had become gloomy, and his hands were clenched into fists.

Luoshui's matter is extremely secretive. The goal is not tricky, either.

For a killer, leaking his whereabouts is the big culprit...

Who the hell is it?

And why?

"Hey...", a delicate voice suddenly came from behind him.

Xia Kongji hurriedly turned his head, his face became gentle for a moment, "What's the matter, Yanyu." ”

"All the way... Cherish all the way!" the second miss of the Bai family whispered, and after thinking about it, she didn't seem to be at ease, and trotted all the way to Xia Kongji, untied the sword at her waist, and put it in his hand, "Lend it to you!"

"How can this be done?" Xia Kongji hurriedly excused himself.

"If there's anything you can't do, Miss Ben will lend it to you. Miss Bai Er pursed her lips, "There will always be people in this world who are willing to care about you, and we are not alone." ”

Xia Kongji smiled slightly, then took the famous sword three-ring long snake and said, "Okay, okay, thank you, Yanyu." ”

However, when he turned around again, his face showed a look of plausibility.

She's a naΓ―ve stupid woman, but it works well.

I didn't plan to get anything, but I accidentally got a scroll of heavenly traces of bamboo, and the three-ring green snake...

It's really, so well utilized!

The corners of Xia Kongji's mouth hooked a smug arc, and the whole person faintly dissipated in the mist on Baihong Lake.
