Chapter 158: Tail
After forcing Xiong Qiang to no avail, Tang Tong was also in distress, originally he thought that after he showed his strongest means, he would definitely be able to force Xiong Qiang to comply, but he never thought that even if he overestimated it, he still underestimated Xiong Qiang's strength.
In order to find clues to solve the case, Tang Tong came to the scene of Tang Yu's murder again, although the bodies of Tang Yu and Boss Qian have been carried away, but the rest of the places have not been moved, including the hidden weapons sent by Tang Yu before he died, which are still nailed to the wall at this moment.
This scene is not messy, and even the tables, chairs, and oil lamps have not been damaged too much, but the line of blood left by Boss Qian before his death has now turned black.
"Manager Tang, you've been here three times, are you looking for something?" asked a Tang Sect disciple who was following Tang Tong with some surprise.
Tang Tong didn't speak, but he was still carefully looking at every inch of the walls and everything in the room.
Tang Tong has been to the scene of the murder no less than three times, but every time he carefully checks it, he still can't find more clues. He looked at the secret room carefully, and finally sighed and said, "Ah San, let's go!"
Then, he exited here and returned to the guest room of the Fuxiang Inn.
The moment he walked into the room, he suddenly felt a slight sound of breaking wind behind him.
Tang Tong's eyes were quick, and with a clamp of two fingers, he sandwiched a silver dart with a note in his fingers, and when he looked through the wide open window, he saw that above the house opposite, a mysterious man with a cloak on his head had disappeared into the heavy house in a few leaps.
Tang Tong didn't chase after him, and after watching the person disappear, he curiously unfolded the note, and after glancing at the words on the note, his expression also changed, and he looked a little surprised.
"Xiaoyaozi?" Tang Tong looked at the direction in which the mysterious man disappeared in surprise, and said these words softly with a puzzled face.
Then, too, he swept out of the window and disappeared into the heavy buildings.
Xiong Qiang slowly sat up from the bed, stretched his waist, and opened the window sleepily, the warm sun shining on his body, which was extremely comfortable.
At this time, the street was already noisy, Xiong Qiang asked Xiao Er to wash his face, smooth out the slightly messy long hair, and then walked downstairs. After signing a half-year contract with Wudang and Tangmen, Xiong Qiang's tense nerves also relaxed slightly.
Now, it's time to go to the Wumeng Valley to get that secret recipe and return it to Han Qiuyu. It's just that he knows that along the way, he will never be lonely.
After drinking two corners of wine downstairs in the inn and wrapping a bag of beef, Xiong Qiang slowly walked out of Jining City.
Mei'er, who was ordered by Tang Pai'er to be Xiong Qiang's shadow, did not hide her identity at the moment, and directly looked like a delicate woman, far behind Xiong Qiang.
She is the most elite disciple secretly cultivated by the Tang Sect, and she has reached an extremely high level in tracking techniques, but when she followed Xiong Qiang out of the city not long after, she felt that in addition to her, it seemed that there was another person not far from her who was also following Xiong Qiang.
After perceiving this clue, Mei'er was also suddenly alert, that night in the east of the grove, the strange gaze she felt was not an illusion, but a real existence, since that night, this mysterious person has been following Xiong Qiang.
"Who the hell is this person?" Mei'er kept guessing in her heart.
After glancing at the place that disturbed her, Mei'er was about to follow the mysterious man, but once again she discovered something that shocked and amused her.
Behind the mysterious man, on the house diagonally opposite him, there was a sneaky person who followed the mysterious man in front of him without hesitation. The man was dressed in a navy blue robe, and his entire head was shrouded in a black cloak, but judging by his figure, there was no doubt that he should be a man.
The two people in front of him are both here for Xiong Qiang, and looking at their actions, it seems that they are not the same group, seeing Xiong Qiang still swaggering in front of him, looking like he doesn't know, Mei'er can't help but think in her heart: "Xiong Qiang, this guy, is he too careless, right? Being followed by so many people, he didn't even know it." I don't know how many people he offended, but even the people who followed him lined up. There's no one else following me, right?"
Mei'er cautiously glanced around, and after staring carefully at every corner and pedestrian, and making sure that there was nothing unusual, her heart relaxed slightly.
Just as Mei'er followed the man with the cloak on his head, the cloaked man didn't know whether he noticed something or wanted to be as alert as Mei'er, only to see that he also turned his head slowly, and after looking around suspiciously, he slowly followed. It's just that when the cloaked man's gaze swept over Mei'er's location, Mei'er's skin immediately had a slight goosebump, and this strangeness made Mei'er's heart beat wildly, could it be that the cloaked man found out?
Thinking of this, Mei'er didn't dare to move recklessly, and shrank in the corner, until a long time later, after feeling that the cloaked man had not noticed anything unusual, and then followed in the direction of Xiong Qiang's advance with his instincts again.
Along the direction of Wumeng Valley, Xiong Qiang walked all the way, and the tail behind him followed him all the way. Moreover, he could also feel that there was more than one tail, maybe two, maybe three.
Thirty miles away from the barren forest east of Jining City, it was noon at this time, Xiong Qiang was also hungry, I saw him slowly take out a paper bag from his arms, and then slowly sat down, opened the paper bag, and immediately there was a fragrance in his nose, this is the beef he brought out from the inn.
Grabbing a piece with his hand, Xiong Qiang tasted it, a bite of beef, full of fragrance.
Xiong Qiang picked up a piece of beef, raised it towards the empty mountain forest, and said with a smile: "A few friends, these days have been hard, I, Xiong Qiang, have eaten well and slept well these days, all thanks to your secret protection, you will eat and sleep in the open again, I am also uneasy, it is noon at this time, you must be hungry too! Do you want to have lunch with me?"
"So this guy already knew that someone was following him!" Mei'er sighed slightly relieved, thinking to herself.
But just when Xiong Qiang's words fell, the man in black who was following Xiong Qiang, knowing that his identity had been exposed, was about to flee in fright, but Mei'er saw that the mysterious cloaked man who had been coiling on the tree like an otter in the distance suddenly made a move.
The silver light flashed, and the sword stabbed out as fast as it was to the extreme, and the mysterious man let out a strange cry, fell to the ground, and then remained motionless.
The mysterious cloaked man swept away, and the long sword was already against the mysterious man's neck, but when his long sword lifted the mysterious man's veil, he found that the mysterious man's mouth had already flowed dark red blood stains, and when he probed his mouth and nose, there was no breath at all.
Mei'er saw that the cloaked man made a move to restrain the mysterious man, and she was slightly relieved again, she originally planned to make a move, but she didn't expect that the mysterious cloaked man would take the lead.
"It seems that this cloaked man is not hostile to Xiong Qiang. Mei'er thought to herself.
Seeing that the mysterious robed man behaved abnormally, Xiong Qiang also stood up slightly and said, "I don't know if the master is ......."
The cloaked man slowly walked towards Xiong Qiang, and then reached out and uncovered the cloak, revealing a handsome face, which was a beautiful face, with a shallow smile on his face, and his gaze at Xiong Qiang was also extraordinarily soft.
When Xiong Qiang saw this face, the smile on the corner of his mouth also bloomed, and he walked quickly towards the man.
"Master, it's you!" Xiong Qiang said with some surprise when he saw this face.
