57. Darktide 1
The sunset was like blood, and the guards at the west gate of Red Leaf City were chatting in groups.
The gates were about to close, the moat was reflecting the red color, and some of the guards were already preparing to put away the ropes of the drawbridge.
When Tang Stack and Xia Ren rode into the city, not many people paid attention. The Xia family had a very high status in Red Leaf City, and Xia Ren simply issued an identity nameplate, and the guards got out of the way.
When they entered the city, they dismounted and led their horses through the bluestone streets of the city, their faces bathed in the unique dark color of the alternation of day and night.
People from the rest of the sects are required to show their identities when visiting at night.
Tang Die stared coldly at the disciples of the Xia family guarding the door, and then his luck internal force raised his voice and said, "Xichuan Tang Sect, Tang Die is visiting!"
The voice scattered and resounded through the Xia family.
A few minutes later, a figure walked out of the vast courtyard behind the door, dressed in luxurious clothes, with gray hair and a short beard fluttering in the wind, as if the person who came was not a person from the rivers and lakes, but a rich man who enjoyed happiness.
The disciples of the Xia family on both sides said respectfully, "Great Elder." ”
The old man laughed and said, "The Xia family and the Tang Sect have always been good friends, how can you disciples of the Tang Sect stop the distinguished guests of the Tang Sect, it's too rude!"
"Tang Daxia, please come inside!" the Great Elder made a gesture to invite in, his gaze glanced at Xia Ren beside him, revealing a hint of a subtle cold taste.
The three of them arrived at the welcome hall of the main building of the Xia family in an instant, and the disciples of the sect guarding the door suddenly raised their long swords sideways after the Great Elder and Tang Stack entered, and the two swords overlapped to form a fork.
The two looked at Xia Ren who was walking behind, and said lightly: "Here, it's not for you to come as a small disciple of the branch!
Xia Ren's eyes narrowed, but Tang Di reacted faster than him.
"Who dares to stop him!" he shouted like thunder.
However, just as he was about to continue the attack, the Great Elder spoke, "Let him in." ”
So, the two sect disciples snorted coldly and moved out of the way to both sides.
The three of them were seated, and after the tea was served.
Tang Die's was not polite, and he said straight to the point: "Where are the Xia family master and his wife? Tang Die's meeting today is something important!"
The Great Elder smiled and said, "Tang Daxia might as well talk to me." ”
"No!" Tang Di said lightly, but his tone had no room for maneuver.
The Great Elder lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "Isn't it just another child who pretends to be the son of the head of the family and lies that he is the son of the sect?"
"Xia Ren, are you here to do so?"
Without waiting for the latter to answer, he continued to say to himself: "In the past few days, perhaps it is a critical moment for the son of the sect to take over the family affairs, and there have been two people who have pretended to be the sons of the head of the family, but they have all been exposed. ”
"Xia Ren, if you really come for this, then it is a third person. Young people, be down-to-earth, don't think that you have found some strange way to deceive the heroes of the Tang family, and you think that you can deceive the entire Xia family. ”
Speaking of this, his expression became cold, and his wrinkled lips curled slightly: "Tang Daxia, don't be deceived by the cunning boy!"
Tang Di ignored him, and just said lightly: "Where are the head of the family and his wife?"
"Do you really want to see it?" the Great Elder gave a strange look.
"I really want to see you!" said Tang Die.
The Great Elder no longer dissuaded, but sighed and said, "Since you are a guest from the Tang Sect, you are not an outsider, Tang Daxia will come with me." ”
Both of them ignored the handsome young man behind them and left together.
"It seems that these people in the Xia family really want to die. Xia Ren held his chin and watched the two of them leave their backs, his eyes slightly revealing a coldness.
Ten minutes later, when Tang Di and the Great Elder reappeared.
Tang Die's face was already very ugly, and he muttered: "The head of the family is seriously ill, and the lady is missing... How so?"
The Great Elder on the side sighed and said, "Tang Daxia, it's really ugly and not easy to publicize." Madame she... Hey, don't talk about it. ”
Tang Die's eyes lit up suddenly, and he said, "You say!"
The Great Elder looked embarrassed, and muttered: "Tang Daxia is not an outsider, but he really doesn't know how to speak. ”
"Great Elder, but it's okay to say!"
The white-haired old man in the big clothes frowned and whispered: "There is a disciple in the door who once saw the shadow of the lady and the guards go to Sanming Mountain, and the head of the family on that day was..."
"Just what?"
The Great Elder sighed: "The head of the family is not seriously ill at all, but poisoned! The day the lady leaves, it is the time when the head of the family is poisoned, what a coincidence, what a coincidence!"
Tang Die's expression suddenly turned blue, what he was thinking about now was not how to regain the position of sect son for Xia Ren, but how to find his wife and find out the truth.
But the newcomer, and the "star gathering hand" on the Sanming cottage is impermanent, and the one-handed star gathering skill is said to have reached the ninth layer, and I don't know what level the internal force has reached over the years.
How should this be?
Tang Di was obviously a little confused, although he didn't show it, but the silence had already exposed his heart.
The Great Elder suddenly said: "This matter is related to my Xia family's reputation in the rivers and lakes, not to mention that my Xia family's jade caravan has also been frequently robbed recently, tomorrow the second and third children will take a group of disciples to worship the mountain and find out! Although his "star gathering hand" Ren Wuchang is notorious, our Xia family is not easy to bully! Why don't Tang Daxia go together, and have a good response?"
Tang Di groaned, but he didn't agree immediately, his eyes wandered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
At this moment, a faint voice came.
"Good!"
The handsome young man got up slowly, and for some reason, the two people present suddenly had a wonderful feeling, as if the person in front of him was not a weak disciple of the branch, but a fierce beast in the forest that would be devoured at the sight of a person.
The feeling was fleeting.
But Tang Di had obviously already made a decision: "So great elder, tomorrow we will join forces with the second elder and the third elder and worship the mountain together!"
The Great Elder laughed and said, "This is very good, then Tang Daxia should rest early today and recuperate his physical strength." ”
After the two had made an appointment to meet tomorrow, they said no more, and when they reached the fork in the main road, they parted ways.
Xia Ren didn't go back to the house directly, he reached to his waist with his left hand, fumbled for a while, and pulled out a copper coin, which was the copper coin used by the winter to confirm each other's directions.
Since the Xia family has not reported the news of the death of the sect, the six people who will go to intercept and kill in the winter over there are afraid that they will be more than lucky.
But what exactly is the reason?
He frowned, his eyes lit up, for he sensed a copper coin nearby, in other words, there was still a member of the Winter Society.
Is it the mysterious president?
Xia Ren smiled slightly, followed the message from the copper coin, and walked away.
The wind of Baihong Lake is slightly cool, the moonlight is almost complete, and the sound of flute and piano comes in the distance, which is the fireworks and willow lane in the west of the lake, and the boat is drawn.
He unknowingly walked to the lakeside, and the message of the copper coin was also interrupted. He's come to the finish line.
"At the bottom of the lake!" Xia Ren was already stunned.
It seems that the blow that will be taken by the cold winter will be heavier than imagined.
Throwing away the Transsonic copper coin means that this prop has been exposed, so could it be that there is a traitor in the Winter Society?
He didn't know that in this world, there was a "Heavenly Trace Bamboo Book" that could be divined.
So, after a little contemplation, he pressed his coin under an inconspicuous stone, and if it disappeared after a few days, he was a traitor. And if it's still there...
Isn't that possible that he was regarded as a traitor? After all, he really didn't go to Luoshui City as promised.
The autumn wind was bleak, revealing a cold killing intent.
