Standing in a stalemate, Gu Zi weighed himself for a long time, and found that what Situ Lin said was very true. When Duan Zhaoying turned his face and prepared to meet the request of the two, he saw the pair of dead sleeves in front of him brazenly holding hands and hugging each other.

At this time, his eyes almost rolled up to the sky, and he slapped the table in anger: "I don't care if you have broken sleeves or Longyang! But it's indecent to act in broad daylight, can you restrain yourself!"

Being misunderstood again, Yun Zhuo glared at Situ Lin, turned over and jumped out of his arms, leaving only one hand for the man to hold.

He smiled apologetically at the Taoist priest: "Taoist priest calm down, calm down."

"Humph."

Duan Zhaoying coughed lightly, reluctantly accepting it, and said: "I just thought about it, and I think what you said is reasonable, so let's investigate this matter together, so let's agree for the time being."

"it is good."

Seeing his agreement, Situ Lin squeezed Yun Zhuo's hand left and right with the bottom of his hand, and began to cooperate happily on the face: "Since the interests of the three of us are the same from now on, we might as well talk about the business now."

Duan Zhaoying looked at him: "How to say?"

Situ Lin explained: "Speaking of which, if there was no accident of being attacked, the Taoist priest should have come to me with all kinds of clues... So now if you want to thoroughly investigate this case, I have to ask you to take out the coffin again." Zhong Hongfeng is."

Duan Zhaoying shook her head when she heard the words: "I can't get it out, the red maple is lost."

Yun Zhuo was stunned: "Ah, lost it?"

"Ah."

Duan Zhaoying nodded and explained: "Rongyu and I were ambushed that day. During the chaos, the bag was snatched by black-clothed thieves, and Hongfeng happened to be among them."

"This……"

Hearing that the key token had been lost, Yun Zhuo felt a little troubled, and asked tentatively, "The Taoist priest, do you have any other clues?"

"Have."

Without hesitation, the Taoist threw out a small cloth bag from his arms, unfolded it two or three times, and there was a wooden sign lying inside.

He gritted his teeth and said: "That day, even though there were many thieves, Daoist was not a vegetarian. He came and went again and again, and took one person's waist card down. Let's see if it is useful!"

After finishing speaking, he took off the wrapping cloth and pushed the wooden sign towards the two of them, but saw that the sign was shaped like a crescent moon, and the whole body was smooth and clean, only one side was engraved with a very unique word "Ming". Nothing special.

It's really unremarkable.

Yun Zhuo knocked the wooden sign up and down, and shook his head dejectedly: "Tsk, this wooden sign is a bit ordinary, and the material used is not good wood. The only thing of value is the engraved word, but Just such a word 'Ming' is too irrelevant, who knows where it is from."

Situ Lin at the side was thoughtful, and said coldly, "I know."

Yun Zhuo was inexplicable: "Huh?"

"This is the token belt of an assassination organization named 'Mingyou' in Nanzhao."

Situ Lin glanced at the inscription, and said confidently: "This organization was set up by the nobles of the Nanzhao royal palace and powerful ministers. They have secretly raised a large number of elite killers, who specialize in lurking in the border areas of Nanzhao, assassinating dissidents for those dignitaries, eliminating hidden dangers, and using cruel methods , Disregarding human life, but also surreptitious whereabouts can't catch people, it can be said that they ignore the law."

"Nanzhao's assassination organization?"

Yun Zhuo raised his eyes suspiciously: "But he secretly took his life and made it quite secretive. How did you know it based on such a waist card that doesn't have a single character?"

Situ Lin looked at him: "Let me ask you, which of the five sects of Xianmen is closest to Nanzhao?"

Yun Zhuo said without hesitation, "Jiu Miao."

"In front of you is the leader of Jiu Miao's school."

Situ Lin pointed at himself, and then knocked on the table: "Let's not say that the patriarch of our school and his Taoist companions set up a school here to deter Nanzhao thieves and protect the safety of the people in Miao, Xinjiang and Shu. In recent years alone If I don't come forward to take care of the many disturbing behaviors of those thieves, the majesty of this fairy sect may not be able to stand...so if I come and go, if I don't even know these secret reports, I will still be the head of Lao Shizi?"

"Well, I almost forgot that you are already the head."

After all, the impression of being inconspicuous when he was a teenager was too deep, and Yun Zhuo didn't react for a while, but then he thought about the mysterious act of that person sending a spy outside Xianyou Zhai, and he understood it in his heart, and gradually accepted the fact.

So he raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked again: "Then Master Sect Leader, what else do you know about this organization?"

Situ Lin said: "I also know that this organization generally doesn't kill people lightly, no matter how much money is given, except for those royal nobles who order it."

Yun Zhuo doubted: "Then what do you mean? This is not an ordinary ambush hired murderers, but Taoist Duan offended the Nanzhao dignitaries?"

Situ Lin said: "Duan Daochang is in the Central Plains, and he has not been down the mountain a few times. I'm afraid there are not many people in Nanzhao who know him. How can he have the opportunity to offend the dignitaries of Nanzhao?"

The words made sense, and both of them raised their heads to look at him with doubts in their eyes.

Situ Lin thought: "So I think there is another possibility, that is, the murderer is also from the Central Plains, but he linked up with Nanzhao and exchanged the condition of treason for the help of the assassination organization, and then It happened that Daoist Duan offended him, so he took the opportunity to kill someone."

"Is that so?"

Yun Zhuo thought for a moment when he heard the words, and hesitated a little: "Is there really someone who would collude with the enemy and treason for the sake of killing someone's life, and join Nanzhao?"

"Why not?"

Hearing this, Duan Zhaoying rolled his eyes at him, snorted coldly and said, "If you want me to say, isn't there only one of our disciples who hooked up with Nanzhao? And unfortunately, this one seems to have borrowed my ambush to kill him." The dead sword boy shell comes back to life."

The corner of the mouth of the person who was called out twitched: "What do you mean? You think I had an affair with Nanzhao and hired a murderer to kill me in order to resurrect my body?"

After saying that, he thought of the crime of Goulian Nanzhao, killing his father and hurting his brother, who was listed by accident back then. He felt very wronged, and even wanted to show the Taoist priest the mark on his lower back that was branded by Yinxi, to prove clean.

"It won't be Yunzhuo."

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two people in front of him was not friendly, Situ Lin shook his fan slowly, and said lightly: "If he was really that smart and knew how to negotiate terms and hire murderers to kill people, he would be forced to die on a cliff in a pitiful way back then? And what about three years later? All this trick, just to lie to you about Jiantong's corpse?"

"What do you mean by that?"

Although the other party was defending himself, Yun Zhuo felt that the more he listened to the words, the more strange he became. He knocked on the table in front of the man and said, "Are you saying I'm stupid?!"

Situ Lin smiled slightly, didn't deny it, thought for a while, then looked at the Taoist priest and continued: "Also, if it's really a dead man's shell to bring back the soul, who is not good to turn to, why bother to find a little sword boy? And God Mr. Wolf has been dead for three years, when is it not good to hire murderers secretly? You have to pick on Daoist Luo’s body and steal it. You come to me to investigate and ambush you at the cusp of such a crisis. ?”

"Situ Lin, what do you want to say?"

Duan Zhaoying frowned, "It's not him who hooked up with Nanzhao, so who else could it be?"

"do not know."

Situ Lin shook his head: "But the case of Daoist Luo should involve this person's interests. After all, he would not hesitate to kill you halfway at such a moment, so the purpose is almost the same. It should be to prevent us from reuniting smoothly and investigate the case."

"Well, according to what you say, this person really miscalculated."

Yun Zhuo thought: "First, Daoist Duan escaped by chance, and then I resurrected with a dead body. In the end, aren't the three of them sitting here and preparing to start?"

"But he's not too bad."

Duan Zhaoying said: "Although our group is alive, the only clue, Hongfeng, is gone. For a while, apart from knowing that the murderous organization is located in Nanzhao named Mingyou, there is still no way to find out. ah."

After a moment of silence, Situ Lin smiled thoughtfully: "It's impossible to go head-to-head to investigate, but since the Taoist priest has pulled this sign off, in my opinion, there may be a turning point if we use outsmart methods."

Outsmart?

Thinking about this man's crooked moves when he was young, and thinking about this man's hidden behavior recently, Yun Zhuo raised his eyes and said, "Brother Lin, what kind of medicine are you selling in this gourd?"

"If the information I checked in the past is correct, the badges in the dark should be a status symbol, and there is no substitute for one person, and once the loser is found, he will be dealt with by the family rules, dismissed from his position, and reduced to a commoner. "

Situ Lin tapped on the table with two fingers: "Then what do you think, this unlucky assassin who was ripped off by Taoist Duan, will do what will he do after he finds out that the badge has been lost and the return fails?"

Yun Zhuo didn't think about it: "Is there a need to ask? It's definitely not good to get scolded if you lose your waist card. It must be concealed and not reported. It will be a while if you can hang around for a while!"

Situ Lin said again: "Besides, he will be eager to find Daoist Duan privately and get his badge back."

"Hiss, do you mean..."

Yun Zhuo gradually felt that he had touched part of this person's thoughts, and thought, "We might as well use this assassin's mentality to lure the snake out of the hole and catch the turtle in the urn?"

Situ Lin nodded.

Yun Zhuo doubted again: "However, the three of us have such a big posture and take the initiative to ask others to negotiate terms. The assassin has no other reasons. Unless he loses his mind, no one will directly agree to it, right?"

As if he had expected him to say this earlier, Situ Lin responded with a smile: "The three of them are too big, so let the Taoist leader show up first, and we will hide in the dark; if it is too suspicious to ask others to negotiate terms, then let him If you notice us on your own, and then take the initiative to intercept and kill them, then you will defeat them, capture them in one fell swoop, and torture them severely, are you afraid that he will not let go?"

Yun Zhuo sneered: "Easier said than done, how do you let people take the bait?"

"I really can."

Situ Lin said: "I just thought of a plan. If I take a gamble, I can let the thief come to find us by himself, but if I want to wrong the Taoist priest, I wonder if you want to hear it?"

Duan Zhaoying didn't hesitate: "Tell me."

"According to the information I obtained when dealing with Nanzhao in the past, the town in the Central Plains closest to Namingyou is located in the southwest border, named Yunlai."

Situ Lin said: "The Taoist priest only needs to pretend that he is seriously injured, and because of the loss of Hongfeng and the death of Jiantong, he is in a hurry. As soon as he gets the clue from the waist card, he will enter the city single-handedly to take revenge. Just make a little noise, deliberately Teach that assassin to hear about it, and I bet he will be one step ahead of his organization to intercept Taoist Duan and provide us with an opportunity."

"so?"

This crooked move was dangerous and nonsense, but it sounded a little feasible, Yun Zhuo felt a little guilty and muttered: "Is this method okay? What if we don't arrive in time to help, or what if Mingyou takes the first step? "

"As I said before, Mingyou will not kill people easily. This time the attack failed, and it will take time to plan again."

Situ Lin said: "As for the issue of helping each other and not being timely, anyway, Yunzhuo, you and Mr. Rong have made a resurrection deal. If the Taoist priest has a life-threatening problem at that time, you will also be taken back to reincarnate. You can weigh it yourself!"

When Yun Zhuo heard the words, he gave him a white look: "Hey? You can weigh it yourself, and you have the same blessings as you said, and you have the same difficulties?"

Situ Lin raised the corners of his lips when he heard the words: "Huh? It seems that there is such a thing, let alone, then I will help."

After thinking about it for a while, he still didn't change his face: "However, in a word, this move is still a bit risky and a little tricky. I just mentioned it. Whether it will be used or not will depend on the Taoist priest's intention."

Duan Zhaoying glanced at him: "If I don't use it, what will happen to you?"

Situ Lin said: "Of course I gave up looking for that Hongfeng, and continued to accompany the Taoist chief to investigate the matter of Luo Taoist. It's just that there will be no clues at that time, and the investigation will probably take a long time."

After a pause, he continued: "Alternatively, we can also go head-to-head with the assassins in that organization, but I'm afraid it will be more dangerous, it's better than my risky strategy just now..."

"Okay, don't say any more."

The listener weighed the pros and cons, but every word seemed to be threatening, Duan Zhaoying raised her hand and said: "I am here to investigate the matter of senior brother, this matter is not clear, and I have no face to report to the Lord. Since You have talked so far, it seems that Daoist will not agree."

When he got the answer he wanted, Situ Lin nodded slightly: "Okay, we will discuss that matter in the future... At that time, please go ahead and go to Nayunlai City. We will also enter the city secretly to help in the future. I don't know the meaning." How about next?"

"It's natural."

Duan Zhaoying made no objection, and nodded in response, but after thinking about it for a while, she raised her head and looked at the two of them, and said in a deep voice: "Just leave this matter for now, but there is still one thing I don't understand, I wonder if I can ask you two?"

Yun Zhuo nodded: "Please tell me."

He looked the two of them up and down, half scornful half hesitant, and said: "...Tell Daoist honestly, are you against Duanxiu?"
