Chapter 20

Fog, light mist. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The originally bustling crowd on the streets of Chang'an City was also dispersed by this soft milky white mist.

The fog was originally light and faint, but suddenly it was thick like white smoke.

Murong Yixue walked in this thick fog, wearing a snow-white robe like this rain and fog. He doesn't like too luxurious clothes, but he likes to wear a neat and noble white shirt all year round.

Meng Qi looked at this agile and elegant figure, he was a little distracted, he smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Mu, I sometimes wonder, is he a god or a human?"

That kind of swordsmanship should not belong to mortals, only the god of the sword will use it.

Mu Changfeng's expression seemed to be a little serious, and he said: "I originally thought that he was indeed a ruthless and cold-blooded sword god, but in fact, he was just an ordinary person. ”

Meng Qi was puzzled, Mu Changfeng sighed softly, and continued: "If you know that he is tortured by love, you will think that he is just an ordinary person with flesh and blood. ”

Meng Qi was silent, no wonder he already felt that Murong Yixue had changed, it turned out that he had been moved.

A swordsman should be ruthless, so he will use a ruthless sword, if he is moved and his heart softens, then it will only be himself who will be killed.

What Meng Qi was worried about was whether Murong Yixue would be able to use the peerless swordsmanship of the past, and if he encountered an opponent of equal strength, would he lose his life with a single thought?

The smoke-like white mist has quietly dissipated, and there is a dense bamboo forest in front of you.

Mu Changfeng couldn't help but ask, "Seventh brother, I don't know where you are hiding this person?"

Meng Qilao's face turned red, and he said with a wry smile: "I'm ashamed to say that in order to cover people's eyes and ears, I have placed this person in Xiangfei Courtyard. ”

Mu Changfeng was stunned for a moment and asked, "What is this Xiangfei Courtyard?"

Meng Qi smiled reluctantly: "This... Brother Mu knew when he arrived. ”

There is no Xiang Concubine in the courtyard of the Xiang Concubine, and it is not an elegant courtyard.

Walking through the bamboo forest, before Murong Yixue and his party saw the plaque of Xiangfei Courtyard, a strong aroma wafted out, and the air was filled with the smell of rouge.

The sound of laughter and extravagance in the distance came with the music of the piano, and even an old man like Mu Changfeng blushed.

Meng Qi coughed lightly and said with a wry smile: "For the sake of insurance, the contemptible people have made the best decision to make the virtuous brother smile." ”

Mu Changfeng stroked his palms and laughed: "Seventh brother, thanks to the method you thought, it is naturally the safest for people to hide here." ”

This Xiangfei Courtyard is a brothel.

As soon as Murong Yixue stepped into the courtyard door, a woman with a fat body came out, this woman's waist was as thick as a wooden barrel, and her fat fingers were full of jade and gold rings, Murong Yixue couldn't help frowning, and the smell of rouge on this woman's body made him feel a choking in his stomach.

As soon as this obese woman saw Murong Yixue, the fat on her smiling face was about to come together, and she hurriedly greeted: "Alas, the prince is really discerning, the girls in our Xiangfei Courtyard are all as beautiful as immortals..." ”

After passing through the corridor and arriving at the backyard, Mu Changfeng laughed and said: "Seventh brother, you are not afraid of the prefect, you never wanted to meet the old bustard but had no way." ”

Meng Qi's face was bitter, like a frosted eggplant: "Who told me to ask her? besides... If my wife learns that I came to this Xiangfei Courtyard, I am afraid that not only will I not have the money to drink, but I am afraid that I will die soon. ”

Mu Changfeng said with a smile: "It turns out that Meng Qiye, the world-shaking iron hand, is also afraid of women. ”

At this time, Murong Yixue also smiled faintly: "I don't know if the seventh brother is learned by his sister-in-law to come to this Xiangfei Courtyard, will he kneel down or hold the night pot when he goes home?"

Meng Qi smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Murong Xian, don't make fun of me, if it wasn't for official business, how could I come here." ”

Mu Changfeng laughed and said: "I'm thinking, if that old bustard knew that you were the world-famous six famous catchers, I don't know how he would feel." ”

Meng Qi snorted coldly and said, "If it weren't for the importance of this case, how could I beg him as an ordinary catcher in the Yamen, and gave her fifty taels of silver." ”

If the person who catches the name of the six doors is here, the origin is not small, and it is difficult to have an impermeable wall, so he has to use the identity of an ordinary person, and the iron hand Meng Qiye does not know how many bribes of dignitaries and nobles he has refused, and he even has to post silver to this bustard for this case, this matter is really interesting.

Suddenly, someone said lightly: "It should be here, right?" The person who spoke was Murong Yixue, and he saw a very narrow door at the end of the backyard, and when he pushed the door open and entered, he saw a dim thatched hut with messy firewood in front of the house.

This was supposed to be the firewood room of the Xiangfei Courtyard, except for the guys who worked as handymen in the Xiangfei Courtyard, no one would notice this place at all, it was really a hidden place.

Meng Qi also returned to his usual strict demeanor, only to see him clapping his hands, slowly walking out of the darkness A young man and standing with his bow bowed, it was Qiu Wu who was in charge of guarding here.

Qiu Wu said respectfully: "Seventh Master, the guy who has been doing miscellaneous labor has come here five times in recent days, and each time he only took some firewood, and no one has come except him. ”

Meng Qi glanced at him approvingly, and said in a deep voice, "Well done!" He didn't have to say anything more, and Qiu Wu also knew that this was undoubtedly the highest evaluation of him.

Qiu Wu opened the lock on the hut, and in the dim corner, there sat a middle-aged man with a purple face, his hair was messy, his face was gloomy, and his eyes were empty.

Murong Yixue couldn't help but be surprised: "'Wind Chasing Sword' Ge Qi?"

Meng Qi exclaimed: "Brother Murong has good eyesight, this person is the 'Wind Chasing Sword' Ge Qi. When we found him, he was fainting under the soft bed in Sima's study, and if Qiu Wu hadn't discovered him, I was afraid that no one would know that he was in the house. ”

Murong Yixue walked over slowly and asked slowly, "Does the senior still recognize me?"

Wind Chasing Sword Ge Qi said with a blank face: "I recognize, of course I recognize." He pointed at Murong Yixue again, and suddenly chuckled: "You have just said that you are the Wind Chasing Sword Ge Qi, I don't recognize you anymore, do you think I am a fool?"

Murong Yixue was stunned, this Ge Qi was stupid.

Meng Qi sighed: "He woke up so delirious, maybe he will recover in a few days, maybe..."

Mu Changfeng's face was solemn, and he also sighed: "Maybe it will never recover, right?" ”

Murong Yixue also sighed lightly, and the clue was broken again.

Murong Yixue pondered and said slowly: "I think he must have been frightened by something to make him so stupid." "He was thinking, what happened in Sima's Mansion that day? 'Wind Chasing Sword' Ge Qi also killed a lot of people, and it was definitely not that he was scared like this when he saw someone being killed, so what did the murderer do?

The wind-chasing sword Ge Qi suddenly jumped up at this time, took a step forward and snatched the Pu knife from Meng Qi's waist, and slashed towards Mu Changfeng like lightning.

This moment of change was too fast, Meng Qi wanted to recapture the knife too late, he didn't expect why this Ge Qi suddenly pulled out his knife.

Mu Changfeng was also stunned by this sudden knife, the blade had reached his neck, and it was too late to dodge.

I don't know when Murong Yixue's figure has swept in front of Ge Qi, he put his hand on Ge Qi's waist, backhanded all his wrists, and the blade suddenly stopped at Mu Changfeng's neck.

Mu Changfeng stood suddenly, cold sweat soaking through his clothes.

Just now Murong Yixue's trust, everything seems simple, but if it was one step later, Mu Changfeng might have died under Ge Qi's knife. It was he who unloaded Ge Qi's power, and Ge Qi's moves had been released, and his strength was exhausted, and the blade naturally stopped.

Meng Qiyi grabbed the placket of his clothes and said sharply: "You are so daring!"

Murong Yixue said lightly: "He has been ordered by me, let him go." ”

I saw the wind chasing sword Ge Qiga and said: "Murderer, he is the murderer... Kill him..."

He kept repeating these words, Murong Yixue, Meng Qi was full of doubts in his heart.

Mu Changfeng shouted angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Gerch didn't say anything, but he turned into his previous gloomy appearance, shrugging in a dim corner, no matter what others said, it had nothing to do with him.

Back in Chang'an City, it was already dusk.

Meng Qi wanted to keep Murong Yixue to live in the mansion, but Murong Yixue politely refused, saying that he was neither a catcher nor a bandit, and it was too strange to live in the public gate.

Not far from Meng Qifu, there was a relatively elegant inn, where Murong Yixue and Mu Changfeng rested early.

This time it was rare to be quiet, Xie Ange and the others had not seen it since they arrived in Chang'an City.

Murong Yixue returned to the room, still thinking about what the Wind Chasing Sword Ge Qi had just said. Why did he say that Mu Changfeng was a murderer? It didn't look like he was in a trance.

Could it be that the murderer is a person who is extremely similar to Mu Changfeng, or does they have something in common?

He believes that the murderer will never be Mo Changfeng, otherwise why would he go to great lengths to accompany him to investigate the case.

The more Murong Yixue thought about it, the more he felt that there must be something strange about this matter, and he decided to visit the Wind Chasing Sword Ge Qi again to ask what was going on.

The night was dark and cloudy.

The rain and fog in the bamboo forest were thicker than when they came.

At night, the bamboo forest becomes unusually silent. There seemed to be a faint light in the distance, and in this dark bamboo forest, it was strangely like a ghost fire.

Even if it was Murong Yixue, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart at this time.

He really didn't want to stay here any longer, it was like a desolate graveyard.

Murong Yixue had been vaguely walking for half an hour, but she still hadn't heard the sound of the piano she had heard when she came before.

The Xiangfei Courtyard was terrifyingly quiet at this time, but it was still brightly lit.

Murong Yixue crouched outside the courtyard wall for a while, and there was no sound in the courtyard, Murong Yixue frowned, got up and swept in gently, but saw a red on the floor.

Then he saw the distorted face of the fat woman, hideous and terrifying. Her throat was obviously pierced by a sharp blade, and the body collapsed on the desk, smashing the table in half.

Murong Yixue was shocked in her heart, and the secret path was not good, so she turned around and swept into the courtyard, but she didn't know that the curtain was lifted, but she was stunned by the scene in this long corridor.

In the corridor were the bodies of countless young women, dressed in light gauze garments, but the gowns had been stained dark red with blood.

The bodies of these women were all facing away from the main hall, but the fatal wound was in the back of the heart, as if someone had pierced the heart from behind with a sharp blade while fleeing.

The girl's eyes were full of pain, and she seemed unwilling to blink. Regardless of their profession, these young lives have quietly passed away.

Murong Yixue couldn't bear to look at it anymore, he only cared about one thing now.

Is Gurch still alive?

There was Qiu Wu guarding there, and the young man's martial arts were rarely matched in the rivers and lakes.

Murong Yixue had already swept to the backyard and saw the narrow wooden door, which was actually hidden, and someone had already come?

He immediately saw Qiu Wu, Qiu Wu was standing straight with his back to him, Murong Yixue took a long breath, this young man was strong in martial arts, and he was really a first-class master among the six doors.

Murong Yixue said, "Brother Qiu, I don't know..." Before he finished speaking, he immediately stopped talking, because he found that Qiu Wu would no longer hear anyone's voice.

Murong Yixue took a closer look, Qiu Wu's throat had been pierced! His body was standing straight, and he must have put on a posture to make a move, but the murderer's sword was too fast, and he had been pierced through his throat before he could make a move. The murderer's strength was very accurate, and the blade was pulled out immediately after piercing his throat, and there was no excess strength, so the corpse would not stand.

What a terrible swordsmanship!

It was dark and light in the hut, and when Murong Yixue walked in, he saw Ge Qi lying on the ground.

Who knew that there was still a little residual breath in Ge Qi's chest, and Murong Yixue said urgently: "Senior, do you have anything to say?" Ge Qi's eyes became clear and bright, but his lips trembled, and he only made a faint sound. His hand was raised slightly, and Murong Yixue could finally hear his voice, only to hear his voice faintly said: "Take..." Murong Yixue said movingly: "What do seniors want me to take?" Ge Qi's eyes suddenly widened, and he wanted to say something more, but he tried to no avail, and finally swallowed his last breath.

Did he ask me to take something from him? So the clue is on him? Murong Yixue was about to reach out to probe Ge Qi's clothes when she suddenly saw a burst of fire, and the air was filled with the smell of burning. Murong Yixue secretly said that it was not good, jumped out, and ran out of the small window of the thatched hut.

Murong Yixue's figure had just rolled out of the window, and before she could stand firmly, at this moment, dozens of cold light burst from the wind, and this secret weapon was fast and tricky.

Murong Yixue couldn't dodge, jumped in the air, drew his sword with his backhand, and the sword shadow suddenly rose, shooting down all the hidden weapons.

The timing of this secret weapon was just right, and he had calculated that Murong Yixue saw that the house was on fire, and the way to escape must be through the small window. He also calculated that when Murong Yixue's body was not stable, it would be extremely difficult for him to dodge these hidden weapons, and he would inevitably die under the edge of this black star.

But he did a lot of calculations, but he forgot to count Murong Yixue's sword.

When Murong Yixue's figure stood for a while, in addition to the fire in the sky, where was there any human figure in the courtyard?

The Xiangfei Courtyard has been burned to the ground, and the only clue has been burned out with the raging fire.

Murong Yixue walked in this silent bamboo forest with a gloomy face, in this white smoke-like fog.

But he saw a familiar figure, Mu Changfeng, and he was about to catch up, but the thick fog had engulfed this figure in the bamboo forest.
