Chapter 199 Er Niu's Secret

Xu Qing's words, to Xu Xiaohui, were the most exciting voice in the past few months. She didn't lie, everything she said to Xu Qing was true.

What she didn't say was the heartache and pain she had paid for the investigation in the past few months in order to repay her kindness. She now has no affiliation with the sect of Qixuetong.

But she doesn't hate anyone, she just doesn't understand how such a good person as Senior Brother Zhou died tragically all of a sudden, she just wants to do her best to repay the other party's kindness.

Occasionally, she would also think, is it worthwhile for her to investigate so desperately... But Xu Xiaohui felt that if she gave up, then maybe what she gave up was the last ray of warmth in her heart.

This warmth is the most precious thing after she came to Qixuetong, so she doesn't want to give up.

So even though Xu Qing used all her strength to help her up, she still chose to kneel down after her strength dissipated. It seemed that for a weak person, kneeling for others was also a kind of peace of mind.

Xu Qing also sighed in his heart.

At this moment, he took out the sound transmission jade slip, found a person, and heard a calm voice.

"Come see me."

Not long after, a thin and small figure galloped from the alley far away in the night, running at the fastest speed all the way, heading straight for Xu Qing.

Xu Xiaohui noticed something, and her eyes shrank when she turned around.

She saw that the person who came was a child, wearing a dog fur jacket under a gray Taoist robe. The whole person looked bulging, but the coldness in his eyes and the evil spirit emanating from his body were enough to make many people who saw it tremble.

Xu Xiaohui took a breath, she had heard of this person who likes to wear leather jackets under Taoist robes.

She knew that the other party was a mute, and he had gained a lot of fame in the past six months. He was a riser after Xu Qing in the murder department, and You Xi tortured and killed him.

There are so many wanted criminals who have been tortured and killed by him, and this person seems to have only the seventh level of condensed energy, but in fact, some of the ninth level of condensed energy of some small sects have also died tragically in his hands, because this dumb person is worse than those desperadoes .

It seems that life is nothing to him, once he is determined to be an enemy, either you die or I die.

So after seeing the dumb coming, Xu Xiaohui was instinctively afraid.

Until the next moment, the dumb man approached here, without even looking at Xu Xiaohui, he knelt down directly towards Xu Qing, the enthusiasm and joy on his face were very obvious.

"Go and find out the cause of Zhou Qingpeng's death. As for the details, you can use the Yinchuan Yujian to ask her." Xu Qing pointed at Xu Xiaohui.

The mute nodded vigorously, turned around and left without asking Xu Xiaohui any questions at all.

It seems that in his opinion, if he manages this matter after asking others, he will appear incompetent.

Xu Qing glanced at the mute's back, didn't speak, just stood there and waited silently.

At this moment, the dusk passed by, and the sunset glow in the distant sky was blackened by ink, and the moonlight was thin, and it was difficult to reproduce it, and the night gradually came.

And the berth where Xu Qing is located is a special choice. It is very quiet no matter day or night, and no one will disturb it.

At the same time, the mute didn't keep Xu Qing waiting for long, the whole process took only two sticks of incense. When the mute came back, he knelt down and respectfully handed Xu Qing a jade slip.

Xu Xiaohui's investigation for several months has paid a great price and it is difficult to find the answer. For the mute, it only takes two sticks of incense. Of course, this is also related to the murderer.

At this moment, in the excitement of Xu Xiaohui, Xu Qing took the jade slip and checked it.

It investigated the cause and effect of Zhou Qingpeng's death in great detail. Xu Qing was not interested in these, so he just glanced at the murderer's information.

The murderer was not a disciple of the Seventh Peak.

This person's name is Li Zelin, and he is a disciple at the foot of the First Peak. His cultivation is on the ninth level of Qi Condensation, and he is usually gloomy and murderous.

The mute's jade slips indicated that the deaths of at least eleven other disciples at the foot of the mountain were directly related to this person.

It's just that this person is cautious, he always kills and loots across regions, and often chooses very precise targets, so he doesn't cause irresolvable troubles.

After all, this kind of thing often happens in the dark place of Qixuetong. As long as it is not done out of line, as long as there is no strong person to pursue it, then in Qixuetong, various departments will not take care of it.

For example, here with Zhou Qingpeng, if he and Xu Qing didn't have the friendship that time, then he would be dead if he died this time.

The mute's investigation was very detailed. In addition to these, he even found out where this Li Zelin was at the moment, as well as his recent personal connections.

"Being accepted by the first peak Wu Jianwu as an attendant, at this moment in Zhimeng Tower, Wu Jianwu is invited to go, and it is impossible to find out who he met with, but this Li Zelin is guarding outside Zhimeng Tower."

Xu Qing nodded, and handed the jade slip to Xu Xiaohui, who was very nervous.

After Xu Xiaohui quickly took it and examined it carefully, her breathing was obviously short of breath, especially when she saw that she was a little pale at the end and looked up at Xu Qing with bitterness and hesitation.

"Uncle Xu, this matter..."

The content in the jade slips let her know the murderer, but also the background of the murderer. She was not sure whether Xu Qing would continue to help.

"Let's go." Xu Qing looked as usual, and after speaking lightly, he walked forward, the mute was leading the way, Xu Xiaohui was stunned, looked at Xu Qing's back, took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and followed.

Zhimenglou is a restaurant.

It can be regarded as one of the most prestigious restaurants in the entire port area. It has a large scale and many people come and go on weekdays. Compared with the restaurants of the Ministry of Coastal Defense, Zhimenglou is obviously of a higher level.

In particular, it is mainly based on spiritual food. Eating more on a daily basis will not only strengthen the physical body, but also have the effect of dissipating heterogeneity. Although it is very slight, if it is like this for a long time, the effect is still acceptable.

At the moment, on the second floor of Zhimeng Building, in a very luxurious private room, there are three people sitting there.

If Xu Qing were here, he would have known these three people.

One is Wu Jianwu from the first peak. Sitting opposite Wu Jianwu is the pale-faced captain. At this moment, the captain is no longer invisible, and the whole body is indispensable, at least when viewed from the outside.

The wounds are also healed.

The last one was a moaning old man, who was the innkeeper on Banquan Road.

In fact, to be precise, there are not only three people here, but also a snake.

The snake was huge, wrapped around the beam of the private room, hanging halfway down, dangling there by itself, as if playing boredly with itself.

Occasionally, he stuck out his tongue at the captain, or made a grunting sound, as if he was asking something.

The captain smiled and looked up at the big snake.

"Ling'er, do you miss someone?"

"Grumble!"

"In this way, you give me ten bottles of the heterogeneous mist you collected last time, and I'll help you call out that kid, how about letting him stay with you for a day, it's fair and reasonable."

The captain spoke in a harmless manner.

The big snake's eyes lit up immediately, and the old man at the inn hurriedly stopped him.

"Chen Erniu, you are too much, just lie to me, why are you even lying to children now!!"

Wu Jianwu, who was sitting on the side, glanced coldly at the captain, picked up the jug, put it in his mouth and took a big gulp, before speaking faintly.

"Right and wrong people are greedy, and one day they will be chopped off!"

The captain blinked, took out an apple from his bosom, took a bite slowly, and showed Wu Jianwu a smile that was not a smile.

"Xiao Jianjian, although you just left the customs today, you don't know what happened outside, and you don't know how powerful I am now, but I still want to tell you that if I were the uncle, I would definitely hit you and talk about people. talk."

Wu Jian and Wu Jian raised their eyebrows.

"Winning eyebrows and looking inexplicably, the hero is struck by thunder!"

"You don't have to talk about me, I promised that the uncle will not beat his disciples again, don't worry, I won't beat you." The captain said with a smile.

The old man at the inn heard the words and patted his forehead, then looked at the captain and Wu Jianwu helplessly.

"Okay, okay, I invite you to come here today. I have three things. I will hurry up and leave. I will be annoyed when I see you..." the old man in the inn sighed.

"First one, Wu Jianwu, the promise your master owes me is coming soon, but I can't be in Qixuetong recently, so I will strengthen the seal of the inn before I leave. You tell your master to send someone to take over quickly. Otherwise, it has nothing to do with me."

"Second, Chen Erniu, I can strengthen your seal three times. After three times, I can't do it anymore, so you have to find other ways to suppress it as soon as possible. The stronger the divinity, the better, otherwise... it will live You may not be you anymore." The old man looked at the captain meaningfully.

The captain's expression was as usual, still smiling, as if he didn't care.

But if Xu Qing was here, based on his familiarity with the captain, he would see that after hearing what the old man said, the captain turned the apple around in his hand and didn't eat it.

"The third thing is what I said before. I have to leave for a while. Ling'er is going to build a foundation. She is special. I want to take her to the ancestral land. I'm afraid it will take a few years before I can come back."

"Gulu Gululu!" The big snake stopped shaking and said anxiously to the old man.

The old man stared.

"You're still thinking about that kid surnamed Xu, so you're not afraid that he will eat you."

"Gulu!!" He stared like a big snake without flinching.

Seeing the big snake like this, the old man let out a long sigh, and there seemed to be more wrinkles on his face.

"I think that kid Xu Qing is also pretty good, he matches Linger very well." The captain coughed and showed an encouraging gesture to Linger.

Ling'er was immediately happy, dangling around quickly, and even spit out a vial full of heterogeneous mist, and gave it to the talking captain.

The captain took it and put it in his arms, with a smile on his face.

"It's a good match, and I think Xu Qing can actually be our family's Linger's male favourite."

"Gulu?" Ling'er was curious, as if asking what a male pet was.

Just as the captain was about to explain, Wu Jianwu at the side heard them mention the name Xu Qing, his eyes were fixed, his body leaned lazily from before, and instantly straightened, his expression was even more dignified.

"Who in the world really looks like one person?"

The captain and the old man looked at each other.

"Can't understand."

"I do not understand you."

Seeing this, Wu Jianwu became anxious, his breath became short of breath, and he gritted his teeth fiercely.

"The Xu Qing you are talking about, but the Xu Qing who was promoted to Foundation Establishment in Seventh Peak some time ago? The one who looks very monster? Is it the same person?" Wu Jianwu said quickly.

"Yes, Xu Qing is my deputy, do you know him?" The captain's expression was half a smile again.

"Eternal years don't know each other, my god..." Wu Jianwu snorted, and was about to speak when the captain said quietly.

"It's okay if you don't know him. He's back too. I'll call him over to meet you, or I'll take you to meet him."

Wu Jianwu opened his eyes wide, took a deep breath, and stood up.

"How can I go if I have a Great Dan at home, we will meet again someday."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, but at the moment he turned around, an astonishing coercion suddenly erupted from the street outside the private room.

This sudden fluctuation caused Wu Jianwu's expression to change, while Ling'er's eyes lit up, and she pushed open the window to look out.

-

Captain: "I was pulled out by Xiaomengxin to ask for a monthly pass for him... Everyone can give it if they see it. I will withdraw first. If I have the ability, I will be killed."

Patriarch of the Vajra Sect: "Everyone, pretty girls, all of you are senior readers. Please help me, ask for a monthly ticket. I haven't come out for a long time. I'm worried that if this goes on, I won't die in Xu Qing's hands, but will die. In the hands of that ear devil... I don't want to die, I want to accompany you until the end of time."

Shadow: "...a monthly pass...afraid..."

Linger: "Gulu Gulu!"
