"Whirring ......"

Heavy rain, pouring down. The rain came so suddenly that the city vendors hurriedly closed their stalls to take shelter. And under the gate of Yangzhou City, three people on horseback suddenly came.
Their faces were full of anxiety, and they didn't care about being soaked by the rain, so they hurried towards Yangzhou City at full speed.
"Phewβ"
Approaching Yangzhou, they slowed down, and it was Xia Qing, Zhao Laosi, and Da Baili. They traveled all the way, non-stop, and finally rushed back to Yangzhou.
It's just, Xiaobaili, where is she?
She wasn't riding a horse, so why couldn't they catch up at full speed?
"My fault...... Zhao Laosi looked up to the sky and sighed, letting the rain fall on his face, and he couldn't tell whether it was rain or tears.
Xia Qing lowered her eyes: "Don't worry, Xiaobaili Sheji people have their own natural ......"
It's just that why doesn't even he want to believe it that way?
"Look there!" Da Baili suddenly exclaimed.
Xia Qing looked up, and for a while it was like falling into an ice cave, as if Yangzhou in early summer was colder than the northern plains in winter.
Tang Yu!
Tang Yu's portrait appeared in that wanted area, and it was also the most conspicuous position, so that it could be found at the first time.
What happened to them in just one day after they left Tsing Yi?
Why is there a feeling that the sea is falling and the sky is falling?
"Let's go, go back to Tsing Yi. Zhao Laosi pulled the reins of the horse and galloped wildly.
The hawkers in the city had already returned to take shelter from the heavy rain, so the horses could run wild in the streets.
"Tuk Tuk ......"
The rain splashed, and the Tsing Yi Inn arrived.
The gate was open, and there was no one inside.
Zhao Laosi rushed into the inn and shouted, "Tang Yu, Tang Yu! Situ! Xiao Baili! Are you there?"
The sound echoed through the room for a long time.
No one responded.
There is no one here.
Where did they go?
No one can answer them.
Xia Qing slowly walked into the inn and kept looking at the inn.
"There were traces of a fight, there were three knife marks, four sword marks, and the fight didn't look particularly fierce. Xia Qing said in a low voice.
"Can you see the move?"
"The knife marks are like Situ's "Shura Knife Method", and the sword marks are not very clear. Xia Qing touched the shallow marks on the ground.
Xiao Baili disappeared on the way back.
Tang Yu was inexplicably wanted.
Situ Long also seemed to have disappeared during the fight at the inn.
These questions are like poisonous snakes, gnawing at the hearts of the three people.
It would be nice if they could ask these questions, but there was no one around, and they couldn't even find anyone to ask.
Zhao Laosi suddenly roared and rushed out without looking back.
"Fourth!" Da Baili exclaimed, but Zhao Laosi had already rushed into the rain and soon disappeared.
Dabaili's tears suddenly flowed down, like rain on the window.
Tsing Yi has been established for three years, and many difficulties have been overcome, why did it suddenly collapse in just one day. No matter how strong she is, she finally couldn't hold on to this moment and burst into tears.
Xia Qing was also stunned, but what happened made him extremely uncomfortable, even more uncomfortable than when he was in Yanyu Village.
He sat down on the stool, helpless.
Things turned out to be far beyond what he could have imagined. At first, when he first lost his memory, even though he didn't understand what his background was, he at least understood that there was a nine girls who knew, and if the nine girls didn't tell him, he could also practice martial arts and go to the rivers and lakes to find it. When the Yanzhuang was secret, he knew that his enemies were the Salt Gang and Fan Zhutou, and they also had a target to find. But this time, they sat here blankly, watching Situ Long disappear, Tang Yu was wanted, and they didn't know what was going on, and he didn't even know who his opponent was.
Is he a man, a woman, an old man, a child, what martial arts?
None of this is clear to him.
With a thunderclap, the rain did not decrease, but became heavier.
A gust of wind swept in through the window, and the door swayed in the wind and rain.
Xia Qing stood up abruptly and muttered, "No, no, there must be something wrong." β
"What's wrong?" Although Da Baili had stopped crying, her eyes were still red.
"Everything has its purpose, and it is impossible to be so poisonous to Tsing Yi for no reason. Who is your greatest enemy?" Xia Qing turned around suddenly, his eyes suddenly widened, like a lantern in the dark night.
Da Baili seemed to be frightened, and sobbed: "I don't know, Tsing Yi has been targeted by people for the past three years, and I don't know who it is?"
There seemed to be a pathos in her voice, and a slight, fear!
Yes, whoever has been in a gang for three years without knowing who the enemy is, must be sad and terrified.
Sadness is because it has been targeted.
Fear is the fear of the unknown.
It's human nature!
Xia Qing's brows tightened, he twisted his hair, and his thinking seemed to fall into a dead end.
Three years, three whole years! Tsing Yi can't find out who the enemy is, should I say that Tsing Yi's ability is weak or should I say that the other party's hidden strength is too strong?
Xia Qing thought of Hong Zhaoyang and Fan Zhutou, they are also experts in intrigue and trickery, but compared to this one, they are 108,000 miles behind.
Wait a minute!
A flash of inspiration flashed in Xia Qing's mind.
Hide?
Why did he hide himself?
Is it because you can't see anyone?
Why can't you see anyone?
Xia Qing looked up suddenly.
The answer is imminent: because we know each other!
There was a general direction, but it was still impossible to determine who it was. Tsing Yi has been targeted three years ago, but Xia Qing has only recently joined Tsing Yi, and he may not know this person. So he set his eyes on Da Baili again: "The enemy is likely to be a person you know, think about it carefully, what suspicious people do you all know?"
"We know each other?" Da Baili wondered.
Xia Qing had to explain the reasoning he had just thought of to Da Baili.
Da Baili nodded as if he understood illegally: "We know more people." After all, I have lived in Yangzhou City for three years, and the members of the gangs in the vicinity, large and small, people in the rivers and lakes know some of them, and I can't finish talking about them. Except for the good relationship, it seems to be quite suspicious. β
Xia Qing waved his hand with a headache: "No, to be precise, it's the people you knew before you were targeted." β
Da Baili said: "Before being targeted, the best relationship was naturally the five of us. We founded Tsing Yi together and vowed to grow it, but then something like this happened, and we never got anyone again. β
"There should be some rumors about this targeting, you should have some awareness. β
"There may be, yes, and the fourth Tang Yu they know. β
Xia Qing continued to ask: "Didn't you claim to be the gossip in Tsing Yi, why didn't they know that you didn't?"
"This. Da Baili was suddenly asked, "They were in a very bad mood and scared at the time, so I didn't ask......"
Xia Qing was suddenly alert: "In other words, it is very likely that the two of them know someone?"
Da Baili was also suddenly shocked: "I also feel this way when you say this." β
However, here comes another problem.
Tang Yu was wanted and disappeared, but the fourth child rushed into the heavy rain just now.
Xia Qing thought of Zhao Laosi rushing into the heavy rain without saying a word.
He must have found something, right?
However, the two people who knew the true ~ phase were gone. Xia Qing sighed: "So, tell me how you met at the beginning, who they are, and what background they have." β
Dabaili sat down quietly and fell into memory.
"Actually, I'm from the Liangzhou area. Speaking of Liangzhou, you may not know, but there are two major schools in Liangzhou, and you will not be unfamiliar with it. That is the second of the eight major sects: Emei and Tang Sect ......"
"Are you from the Emei faction?" Xia Qing suddenly thought of Da Baili's weapon.
Double thorns, also known as Emei thorns. This weapon is loved by women because of its lightness ~ lightness and flexibility, especially Emei's double thorns, which are famous all over the world. These have been recorded in "Jianghu Baixiaolu".
"Yes and no. My mother used to be an Emei sect, but she was later expelled from the sect. After my mother died, I traveled to Yangzhou by myself until I got acquainted with Tang Yu and them. Da Baili's voice was a little low. "When we first came to Yangzhou City, we joined a gang called Xiaoyao Pavilion. Maybe it's because of the same ambition, the five of us met in this new gang......"
"Tang Yu is a native of Yanzhou, and his ancestors have been operas ~ sons for three generations, and the lead singer is Tsing Yi. Looking at his little white face, do you think it is particularly suitable? Not to mention, although he is a drama~, he is like the chivalrous man in the opera, he has a narrow heart, and the last thing he can see is some injustice......
Xia Qing was silent, he thought of the encounter with Tang Yu in the rain. That time, Tang Yu stepped on the wine table and said proudly: "Today, Tang Yu swears that I will definitely help Brother Xia find his life experience!"
His heart warmed, perhaps, he joined Tsing Yi because of this.
Da Baili showed a smile and said, "The fourth child is different, he seems to be from a very poor background. When we first met, he even begged for food on the streets, living out as a beggar......"
Xia Qing also smiled slightly.
Outside the window, the rain seems to be light.
