I practice ruthless way
Chapter 36 The First Quarter Moon
In the backyard of the post house, sunlight poured in through the half-opened windows, rendering the floor tiles a honey-like color. There were eight people sitting around a square table, and all eyes were on the map in the middle, keeping a close eye on the fast-moving red dots.
After a while, Qu Hanxing exclaimed:
"He stopped, he stopped!"
"At the west end of Jinshi Street!"
"En." Xiao Man picked up the pen, clicked on the position of the little red dot, and left it as a mark.
He waited for a while, the red dot was still there, and thoughtfully said: "This person has stayed here for a long time, which means this should be their stronghold."
"That's right." Wei Chuyun nodded in agreement.
"Are any of you familiar with this street? There must be a reason why they chose this place." Xiao Man raised his head and asked, "We can't act rashly. Before we go there, we need to find out as much as possible."
Qu Hanxing and Mo Juntian shook their heads one after another, Qian Sanma five Zhao Liu looked at each other, Zhao Liu said uncertainly: "I seem to have heard someone say... There is such a street in Shenjing City, where all the poor people live , prostitutes, slaves and other low-class people, and even harbored fugitives, the streets are full of sewage, the houses are also broken, and people, fish and dragons are mixed together, which is very chaotic. The name of that street seems to be Jinshi Street."
"There is such a place in Shenjing City?" Qu Hanxing was very surprised, "I thought that people who live in the capital, not to mention rich or expensive, and well-read poetry, can at least maintain their dignity!"
"I'm not sure." Zhao Liu scratched his head embarrassingly.
Mo Juntian and Qian Sanmawu also showed surprise expressions, and Wei Chuyun frowned.After listening to the description, Xiao Man didn't change his expression. He looked at the map carefully again and said, "It's very likely."
Qu Hanxing immediately turned his gaze to him: "How to say?"
Xiao Man pointed to Jinshi Street on the map: "Everyone, please look at its location. It is located on the edge of Shenjing City, far away from the central area, not close to the main river road, and the only water source is this small river ditch. Look at the river ditch again. The pick-up place..."
Su Bai's fingers quickly slid across a series of icons, all of which are well-known places in Shenjing City, prosperous and affluent places.
"There are a lot of people living in these places, so a lot of sewage and dirt will naturally be produced. This river ditch is the first choice for sewage discharge." Xiao Man continued, "So, people who live next to this kind of stinky ditch can only be inferior. people."
"As expected of Brother Man." Qu Hanxing's eyes showed admiration.
Mo Juntian thought for a while, and said: "Since it is such a street, we have to modify it before passing it, so as not to be too abrupt."
Qian San smiled: "I don't think this kind of place is suitable for Senior Brother Xiao and Senior Brother Wei. Even if you are dressed in rags, your temperament is too outstanding. Once you show up, you will definitely be targeted."
"No problem." Xiao Man shook his head without thinking, "I have a way not to show my flaws."
Then he said: "Furthermore, this map does not cover every household in detail. What we know now is just a general idea. The man has a mark on him. I will go there personally, so it will be easier to find it. "
Wei Chuyun showed a look of disapproval, but Xiao Man never looked at him. He moved the tea bowl in front of him, took out the tape measure from the Qiankun Ring, and began to measure the length of the map, making more detailed calculations, and at the same time talking about his own opinions : "It's the first time I go, and I still need to inquire secretly to find out their number and realm. Of course, it would be better if we can find out their plans."
"That's right, we have to be cautious about this matter. Their people are not low-level. If we face each other head-on, we must be the ones who suffer." Qu Hanxing took a sip of tea and agreed with Xiao Man's opinion very much.
"Then how to distribute it? Finding information is not a fight, and it is impossible for eight people to go." Qian Sandao.
Xiao Man: "Naturally, I suggest that I go with Qu Hanxing. One of the reasons, I have just said; the second reason, I believe everyone knows that Qu Hanxing is very fast and proficient in escape methods."
Hearing this, Qu Hanxing rolled his eyes, put down the tea bowl, and said to Xiao Man: "Brother Man, I'll listen to what you said, why doesn't it sound like a compliment?"
Xiao Man smiled slightly, noncommittal.
"I'll take a cloud boat and follow you in the sky." Wei Chuyun sat beside Xiao Man and spoke in a low voice.
"Will the cloud boat be too grand?" Qu Hanxing hissed, remembering the day when Wei Chuyun sacrificed a gorgeous and exquisite "cloud boat" without saying hello, which attracted the whole street Everyone came to watch the scene, and suddenly felt a toothache.
Xiao Man also felt that it was impossible, and was about to refuse, when Wei Chuyun said calmly: "Just activate the concealment formation."
"..." Xiao Man didn't know that there was such a formation hidden on his cloud boat, but now that he heard about it, he had to agree.
"What about us?" the others asked.
According to Xiao Man's original idea, except for those who inquired, the rest of the people were waiting in the posthouse, and when they got the news, they would make the next step. Make some other arrangements.
He was hesitating whether to let everyone get on the cloud boat, but suddenly, Mo Juntian's face on the opposite side changed.
"Sister Qin came to look for us!" Mo Juntian said with extreme reluctance, he spread his hands upwards, and there was a magic weapon lying in his palm, which was trembling violently.This is a magic weapon specially arranged to prevent Sister Qin from looking for them when they are out.
Shitang got up, her tone was quite distressed: "Why at this time?"
Qian Sanma Wu Zhao Liu and several other practitioners didn't understand, so Xiao Man didn't explain. Although he was reluctant, he still said to Wei Chuyun and Qu Hanxing, "Let's go back and have a look first." He brought Mo Juntian and Shitang with him. leave.
In the west wing of the front yard, Sister Qin came to find Xiao Man and the others on business. She stood at the door of the room at the end. After knocking on the door once, she got no response. She frowned and raised her hand to push the door in.
At the same time, the three of Xiao Man and the others appeared behind the moon gate in the courtyard. Shitang raised his eyes and immediately took a step towards the courtyard, stepped through the door, and pretended to be surprised at Sister Qin's back: "Ah, Sister Qin, Are you looking for us?"
Sister Qin closed her hands and turned around, looked up and down at their outfits, and snorted coldly: "You three, are you going to hang out again?"
"I've never been to Shenjing City before, and I'm very curious about it." Shitang lowered her eyes, her tone a little shy.
"After the festival is over, you can play as you like." Sister Qin walked into the courtyard.Xiao Man and the others always carried the talisman that could confuse people, and Sister Qin had no doubts about what Shitang said.
Shitang looked shy: "I just want to watch the excitement of the festival."
"That can't be outside all day." Sister Qin reprimanded her.
"Sister Qin, what's the matter?" Mo Juntian stepped forward, looked into Sister Qin's eyes, and asked softly.
"I was interrupted by you girl, and I almost forgot something important." Sister Qin glared at Shitang, "Our float in Yuntai Town has arrived, and you haven't seen it before. It's time to go up and get familiar with it, so come here and let me know. After the bell, take the dance clothes and gather in the yard, and go there with the sisters."
Xiao Man said hello to the three of them.
After announcing the matter, Sister Qin went back to her room.When they returned to the house, Xiao Man had just closed the door when Shi Tang asked anxiously, "What should I do now?"
Mo Juntian sighed: "If it didn't happen, I would have forgotten that we still have to perform at the festival."
"We will gather in a quarter of an hour. I don't know when we will be 'familiarized'. This matter can only be handed over to Wei Chuyun and Qu Hanxing. Brother Wei is calm, and Qu Hanxing is smart. Nothing will happen." Xiao Man With a calm expression, he took out the sound transmission talisman and told the rest of the group about the sudden episode.
After a few breaths of time, I received a reply.On the other side of the sound transmission talisman, Qu Hanxing seems to be jumping: "After you leave, we also have an errand here, and we are going to East Street to help with something!"
"This!" Shitang and Mo Juntian looked at each other.
There was a brief silence in the room. After the silence, Shitang paced back and forth in the narrow space: "This incident happened too coincidentally, it seems that we deliberately prevented us from continuing to investigate!"
"I also take this view." Mo Juntian said.
Ever since he heard Qu Hanxing's voice transmission, Xiao Man's frowning eyebrows have not been relaxed.
"It's hard to say." He took a sip of tea, "How long is it until the ceremony?"
Mo Juntian replied: "There is still today, tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow."
Then he walked in front of Xiao Man, looked into his eyes seriously, and said: "Time is not short, and it is not long, so let's take care of the present... let's perform, after all, the sleeve dance has given us a lot. The wages, the conditions proposed by Shitang are also related to this, and it cannot be pushed away."
"That's the only way." Xiao Man said with downcast eyes.
"Has the investigation been shelved?" Shitang was unwilling.
"Of course not." Xiao Man got up, raised his hand and rubbed her head, "We'll see if there's any improvement at night."
Unexpectedly, these words were like a prophecy. Sister Qin led a group of people to the float. It took a lot of effort just to prepare, and then danced several times. Thank you everyone for your hard work, this is the end of today.
Even the meals are used on the floats.
This time after coming down again and again, the dance is really proficient, besides, they were originally arranged for a foil position, without gorgeous show off skills, let alone eye-catching movements, as Shitang said at the beginning, follow along Just go, it's not complicated.
As for Xiao Man - it was his face that Sister Qin had her eyes on from the beginning, as long as he showed his face all the time.
After getting off the float, they hung on the tail of the sleeve dancers and walked slowly towards the post house.
Xiao Man raised his head and glanced at the moon from afar.It is the first quarter moon, bent into a thin tooth, half hidden in the clouds, showing a bit of shame.
"Is anyone still following us right now?" Mo Juntian asked in a low voice.
Xiao Man lowered his eyes, and his consciousness spread like water, flowing towards the entire long street, passing by the bustling crowd, walking through the night lights, laughter and laughter, brushing past all kinds of small things, and then silently and quietly. gather.
"No." He replied.
Mo Juntian said "oh" lightly.
Xiao Man stood still, cast a glance towards a certain place, and then said to Mo Juntian and Shitang: "You go back first, I have something to do."
"Then you have to be careful." Mo Juntian told him.
"En." Xiao Man nodded, and walked towards a stall selling lamps.
There was a man in black clothes and silver hair standing in front of the stand, with his slender hands stretched out, as if he was lighting a lamp.The lights on the long street were shining brightly, but the night was dim and dark. Half of his face was under the lights, and the other half was hidden in the night. He had handsome eyebrows and profound facial features.
Xiao Man stood beside this person and asked straightforwardly: "Why did you ask me to come here?"
"In the afternoon, I went to Jinshi Street." Yan Wushu answered the wrong question.
"Huh?" Xiao Man turned his head to look at him.
Yan Wushu stuffed a pill into Xiao Man's mouth.This elixir is clear and slightly sweet, it melts in the mouth, Xiao Man has no way to refuse it, he can only stare, Yan Wushu saw it, hummed lightly, and said: "Blood."
After a while, Qu Hanxing exclaimed:
"He stopped, he stopped!"
"At the west end of Jinshi Street!"
"En." Xiao Man picked up the pen, clicked on the position of the little red dot, and left it as a mark.
He waited for a while, the red dot was still there, and thoughtfully said: "This person has stayed here for a long time, which means this should be their stronghold."
