The sun is fading. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Lan Xin saw the four lanterns again. Lanterns in the sun are far less beautiful than they are at night.

She didn't know how she had walked back, she just felt her legs go quite weak. No one carried her on her back, and of course she walked back on her own.

The "Tangmen Inn" suddenly became quite quiet, but the furnishings inside did not change at all, what changed was her own mood.

She came to the door of the house where she was staying, and she knew he was gone, but she wished he was. She wanted to open the door and see the familiar sunny smile, even if it had a mischievous swagger in it.

She gently pushed the door open, and she froze.

There was actually one person in the room.

A man wearing a tiger head mask. The man held a knife in his hand, a shiny scimitar. This knife is in the man's hand, like sharp teeth growing in the mouth of a tiger, the tiger only needs to open his mouth to bite, and he only needs to lift his hand to kill.

Lan Xin's face didn't show a trace of panic, she just said lightly: "You came much faster than I thought." ”

The man said, "You don't like you're welcoming me." ”

Lan Xin said: "Huan is not welcome, you are already here." ”

The man asked, "Shen Hanzhu is already gone?"

Lan Xin said: "Yes, he is already gone." ”

"Where did you go?"

Lan Xin said word by word: "Valley of the Dead." ”

The man was wearing a mask, and he couldn't see the change in the expression on his face, but the surprise could be heard in his tone: "Did he really go to the 'Valley of the Dead'?"

Lan Xin sighed, "If he doesn't go to the 'Valley of the Dead', there is only one possibility. ”

The man said, "Which one is possible?"

Lan Xin said: "Unless he is not Shen Hanzhu." ”

The man pondered for a moment and said, "Why did he go to the Valley of the Dead?"

Lan Xin said faintly: "In order to rescue the two of his confidants." ”

"Who gave the message?"

"Fan Wujian. ”

"What about Fan Wujian?"

"Ahead of him. ”

The man thought for a moment and said, "What did Fan Wujian tell him?"

Lan Xin said: "He said that the people from the Tangmen of Sichuan sent those two girls and the batch of iron tools to the 'Valley of the Dead'. ”

The man said: "I heard that Qian Caiwang is also in Tangmen, Sichuan. ”

Lan Xin said: "Your news has always been accurate and fast. ”

The man said, "So, Qian Caiwang watched the people of the Tang Sect send his daughter to the 'Valley of the Dead'?"

Lan Xin sighed, "It should be like this." ”

The man was silent for a moment and said, "Qian Caiwang regards money as if he was a pearl in his palm, how could he watch his daughter being sent to the 'Valley of the Dead'." This is very unconscionable. ”

Lan Xin said: "Are you saying that Fan Wujian is likely to lie?"

The man nodded, "I don't rule out this possibility." ”

The corners of Lan Xin's mouth suddenly squeezed out a smile: "People like you have a disease. ”

"What disease?"

"Suspicious!"

The man was not angry, pondered for a while, and asked, "Before Shen Hanzhu left, did he ask Sima Yizhi?"

"Asked. ”

"What did you tell him?"

Lan Xin said: "According to what you meant." ”

"Really?"

"It's a little different from what my dad and I said. ”

"Which point?"

Lan Xin said: "What I told my father was that the meal on the carriage was prepared for me by Sima Yizhi, and when I told Shen Hanzhu, I said that I had done it myself." ”

The man said, "There is no difference in the results. ”

Lan Xin said: "There is a difference. ”

"What's the difference?"

Lan Xin said: "If I say everything the same as before, people will not believe it." But if I change it a little, people will believe it very much. ”

"He believed?"

Lan Xin said: "I've been looking at his face, and I can't find the slightest look of disbelief on his face. ”

The man praised, "I found it quite a pleasure to work with you. ”

Lan Xin said: "Working with you, I find that my heart is suffering all the time. ”

The man said, "You're a very honest girl." ”

Lan Xin said: "If you are asked to deceive your dearest relatives, I believe you will feel the same way." ”

The man said, "I haven't tried, so I don't know." ”

Lan Xin smiled again and said, "It seems that you are also a very honest man. Should an honest man also be a trustworthy man?"

The man asked rhetorically, "What do you think?"

Lan Xin said: "So far, I have done what you wanted, should you also tell me, where is my mother?"

The man said, "If you want to know this answer, it's actually not difficult. You just need to do one more thing for me. ”

"What's the matter?"

The man said, "Go to the 'Good Luck Casino' and retrieve a dice for me." ”

"What are the characteristics of the dice?"

The man said, "The turquoise crystal clear dice made of pure jade." ”

"What else?"

"Normally the dice have six sides, and each side has a number, but that dice has only five numbers, and one side has no number, but a phoenix is drawn. ”

"Is there only one dice in the whole world?"

The man nodded, "Yes, there is only one grain in the whole world." ”

Lan Xin asked, "Whose hand is that dice?"

The man said: "The proprietress of 'Good Luck Comes to the Casino'." ”

Lan Xin asked, "What's the name of the boss lady?"

The man said: "The proprietress has no name, everyone who enters the gambling house calls her the proprietress hostess." ”

Lan Xin said: "Okay, I'll go get it." But are you sure this is the last one?"

The man said, "I'm sure!"

Lan Xin said: "I will believe you for the last time." ”

The man said, "You must believe me!" After speaking, he turned sideways and rushed out of the window.

Lan Xin suddenly became suspicious: When Shen Hanzhu saw Du Xiaoqi, he also handed Du Xiaoqi a dice, which was also green and crystal clear, but why did Du Xiaoqi go to "Jinping Villa"? What is the relationship between "Good Luck Gambling House" and "Jinping Villa"?

At this time, she heard a knock on the door.

Lan Xin went over and opened the door, and the person standing at the door was Mu Duqiao.

When Mu Duqiao saw Lan Xin, his face immediately bloomed: "You're already back?"

Lan Xin said: "If I don't come back, who will open the door for you?"

Mu Duqiao said: "I'm stupid and can't speak. ”

Lan Xin said: "You said not a lot. ”

Mu Duqiao looked at Lan Xin with a tired look and said, "You don't seem to be in a good mood?"

Lan Xin asked rhetorically, "Are you in a good mood?"

Mu Duqiao said: "Naturally, I'm not much better." There's a knot in my heart that I can't untie?"

"What knot?"

"Sichuan Tangmen has that batch of iron tools, which are obviously used to deal with our Qingcheng, why did they suddenly transport them to the 'Valley of the Dead'?"

Lan Xin thought for a moment and said, "Maybe the person they really want to deal with is not your Qingcheng. ”

Mu Duqiao said: "You mean they still want to play big?"

Lan Xin smiled and said, "What do you mean by playing big? Do you think this is gambling?"

Mu Duqiao's face turned red.

Lan Xin suddenly said: "Speaking of gambling, I want to ask you, have you ever heard of 'good luck to the gambling house'?"

Mu Duqiao said: "Of course I've heard of it. ”

"Do you know where the 'Good Luck Casino' is?"

"Yes!"

Lan Xin said, "Can you take me there?"

Mu Duqiao looked at Lan Xin suspiciously, "You want to gamble?"

Lan Xin smiled and said, "I want to play big too." ”
