"Wuyu, you can start action at any time. In the evening, we will completely restore the scene according to the time when Jiang Chongwei opened the warehouse that day." Lu Xiaofeng said.
Lin Heng nodded: "Understood."
He took the sheepskin bag and went out, instead of going to the palace in a hurry, he found a place to sit down, took out the few pieces of paper in the bag and looked at them carefully, trying to remember all these in his mind.In case you can't remember the way when you get there, you have to take out a map on the spot to look at it. That scene is too ridiculous.
After being baptized by Shi Guanyin, Lin Heng had deep doubts about his ability to recognize the way, and dared not be careless.Fortunately, the palace was built in a very orderly manner, completely in line with the specifications stipulated by the imperial court.Lin Heng looked through it for a long time, making sure that he had engraved all these in his mind before putting it away.
The sheepskin bag was crumpled into a ball, and then frozen into a lump of ice harder than iron, but was crushed by a long, white palm the next moment, turning into bits of ice and floating in the air.
……
As the evening approached, Lin Heng started to move. He changed into black clothes, touched the courtyard wall of Prince Pingnan's mansion, and jumped in.This is the foothold he had chosen long ago. After entering, it will be the back garden of the palace, covered by the dense bamboo forest, almost no one will notice.
His body was light and nimble, and he swept across lightly like a butterfly's wings, not even leaving a trace of the wind, and soon arrived in front of the treasure house.
There are no windows on all sides of the treasure house, and the walls are still made of huge stones, which are obviously extremely strong.Lin Heng caught one of the guards walking through the gap around the corner, and flew onto the roof.He leaned on the roof, lifted a tile, and was speechless for a moment—there were steel and iron pillars under the tiles, so many layers that a moth could fly in, and no one would be able to get in.
He was a little troubled, this treasure house was like a tortoise shell, there was no way to get his mouth out.If he wanted to get in without anyone noticing, he still had another method, but this method did not apply to the Embroidered Thief at all.
At this moment, Lu Xiaofeng and the others came over, Lin Heng held his breath and concentrated, reducing his sense of existence to nothingness, lurking there, waiting for the opportunity.
The timing was the moment Lu Xiaofeng opened the door, Lin Heng twisted his body, the air seemed to be distorted for a moment, he disappeared suddenly, and when he reappeared, he was already standing in the treasure house.
When Lu Xiaofeng pushed the door open completely, he saw Lin Heng standing there in black, and was very pleasantly surprised: "Wuyu, how did you do it?"
Lin Heng frowned in distress, and replied: "It's a kind of ninjutsu from Japan. I have seen Shi Guanyin use this technique, and it often has miraculous effects in sneak attacks, so I studied it specifically, but..."
"how?"
"The so-called ninjutsu is nothing more than the use of light and shadow and bone shrinking skills, with the help of a special light-weight technique, to form an explosion in an instant, creating an illusion that deceives the eyes. In fact, I did not successfully enter the treasure house just now, but when you opened the door I came in at that moment, but I can do it this way, but the Embroidered Thief can't, because she's wearing a red dress."
After he explained it like this, everyone understood, Lu Xiaofeng stroked his beard and thought: "Could it be that she was wearing black clothes outside before she came in, and then took off after she came in?"
Lin Heng shook his head: "It can't be that fast, at least I can't do it. Ninjutsu actually has a lot of restrictions, so it can only be used in a short distance, and what can be grasped is that moment. How about this, I will show you again, This time I will slow down, you will understand after a closer look."
After finishing speaking, he jumped out, flew onto the roof, and hid himself, intending to restore what happened at that moment just now.
Lu Xiaofeng and the others followed and looked up at him.
Lin Heng glanced down, and slowly stood up from the roof. He was about to adjust the angle, but he was startled and stopped.
At some point on the opposite roof stood a man in white. Seeing him looking over, the man in white smiled slightly, his eyes shining brighter than the cold stars in the sky.
Lin Heng immediately went on alert.
The person on the opposite side didn't hesitate at all, a sword light flashed, unparalleled in brilliance, and extremely fast, and suddenly arrived in front of Lin Heng, and the sword pointed directly at his chest, there was no way to avoid it, only hard resistance.
Lin Heng tapped his toes, flew backwards, drew out his soft sword, lightly shook it, and laid it across his chest, blocking the fatal blow without any risk.
The two swords collided, overflowing with vigor, but the force of the impact was far less than that of Ximen Chuuxue's sword on the water pavilion.Because Ximen Chuuxue never held back his hands, but this man in white did, obviously he had no intention of actually killing Lin Heng.
After the blow, the man in white didn't continue to attack. He stood there with a sword, standing there gracefully, as handsome and incomparable as Ziwei Xingjun.
Lin Heng raised his sword and stood opposite him: "Ye Gucheng?"
The man in white looked at him appreciatively, "Lin Wuyu? You are very good. The sword just now was exquisite."
Lin Heng smiled: "You are also very good. The trick just now was the Flying Immortal from Heaven? Under the reputation, it really is true."
The two people switched from a life-and-death struggle to flattering each other in an instant.
No one knows how much impact such a picture has had on the onlookers below.
The sunset glow in the sky is like a brocade, and the gorgeous colors pour over the two figures standing on the roof, one black and one white, holding a sword. The superimposition of two dazzling faces with different styles but equally good-looking is very appealing to all people with normal aesthetics. A visual feast, psychological tragedy.
Lu Xiaofeng thought miserably - after today, he might fall into a kind of detachment where all the beauties in the world are like clouds, and the vagabond will turn into a prodigal son.
On the roof, Ye Gucheng smiled: "One more time?"
Lin Heng withdrew his sword and looked at him: "Before, Ximen Chuuxue also asked me to compete."
Ye Gucheng nodded: "I know."
Lin Heng said: "I didn't answer him at the time. Thinking about it afterwards, I was really not very kind. So I will not refuse you today. But there is one thing, I still have to say - I am not a swordsman."
Ye Gucheng frowned slightly: "Understood."
Lin Heng nodded: "Then come on, I will use my best palm technique."
Ye Gucheng raised his sword, Lin Heng flew sideways, and slapped Ye Gucheng on the shoulder.The internal force is attached to the palm, and the place where the wind of the palm sweeps, it is cold to the bone, as if you are in an endless sea of nothingness, there is no end, and there is no way back.
Even Ye Gucheng didn't dare to resist the palm, so he stepped back quickly to avoid its sharp edge for the time being.
Then the sword light flashed, and the long sword stabbed with the momentum of thunder. Lin Heng did not retreat but advanced, and slapped Ye Gucheng's sword-holding wrist with his palm, forcing Ye Gucheng to give up this attack.
His palm technique is fierce and changeable, it can be said that he has no flaws, and Ye Gucheng's several attacks have been resolved by him.Even so, Ye Gucheng was still not in a hurry, every time he stabbed with the sword, he was testing the opponent's ability.
The top swordsmen are often more patient and sharp than the best killers. They can concentrate on lurking and waiting, just to find the opportunity to stab the deadly sword.In an instant, he can send the sword in his hand into the chest of his opponent.
Lin Heng naturally understood this, so he would not give Ye Gucheng any chance.The two fought for an hour, still in the temptation of back and forth, the sword and palm movements were wonderful, and the surge of internal energy was really deep.The onlookers watched the excitement and thought it was exciting, and the knowledgeable people felt helpless. Such a situation would inevitably occur in a duel between masters. According to this way of playing, I am afraid that it will take another three days and three nights until one party really can't hold on and reveals its flaws. to end.
Lu Xiaofeng raised his neck and shouted: "Hey, I told you two not to fight, what's the point of you two fighting like this? We still have business to do!"
Ye Gucheng and Lin Heng flew back a few steps at the same time, and stood still.It really doesn't make sense to fight like this.
Ye Gucheng was helpless: "Is it still not possible?"
Lin Heng smiled lightly and shook his head: "It seems impossible."
Ye Gucheng looked at him and asked seriously, "How is Ximen Chuuxue?"
Lin Heng said solemnly: "I will never be inferior to you."
Ye Gucheng nodded.
Lu Xiaofeng jumped up a few steps and landed beside them, Hua Manlou and Jin Jiuling also followed.
"Ye Gucheng, why are you here?" Lu Xiaofeng asked.
Ye Gucheng looked at him: "You know, Prince Pingnan's son is my apprentice. I was there when Jin Jiuling asked King Pingnan to open the warehouse and reproduce the scene of that day. I don't think you can just think so simply. To open the warehouse again, the biggest possibility is that someone wants to break into the warehouse again to see if they can find clues, this is the real thing, to reproduce the scene of that day."
Lu Xiaofeng raised his eyebrows, and lazily clapped his palms a few times: "As expected of Ye Gucheng, the Lord of Baiyun City, you are amazing."
Ye Gucheng smiled slightly, and continued: "I know you invited Huamanlou and Lin Wuyu to help, guess if you want to break into the treasure house, it must be Lin Wuyu with the best martial arts. I came here specially to fight with him war."
Lu Xiaofeng clicked his tongue twice and sighed: "It seems that the result is not satisfactory."
Ye Gucheng said: "I have decided to fight Ximen Chuuxue."
Lu Xiaofeng's face darkened, and the rest of the people's faces were also not very good-looking, everyone understood what this meant, it was different from the competition between Ye Gucheng and Lin Heng just now.
——This is the battle of two peerless swordsmen to prove their way.
Once shot, there is no room for it.Thinking that one of Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuuxue may fall from now on, who can be happy?
Lu Xiaofeng felt his throat was very dry, he asked: "When?"
Ye Gucheng turned his head and looked to the other side of the sky: "It won't be long."
Everyone was silent, Ye Gucheng chuckled and said, "I'm leaving."
He turned and left without saying goodbye.This man is cold and proud like the snow and ice on a distant mountain, even if it melts a little, it is only fleeting.
Lu Xiaofeng said: "Suddenly I want to drink a little bit, and if I want to drink, I won't get drunk."
Hua Manlou sighed: "You should know that if they really decide to fight, you won't be able to stop them."
"So I just wanted to drink."
Lin Heng said lightly: "So you don't investigate the case anymore?"
Lu Xiaofeng choked, feeling a little guilty, and sighed, "Of course we need to investigate."
Jin Jiuling said: "Then let's start from where we were interrupted just now, Brother Lin, please excuse me."
"It's okay."
The night is dark now, and the conditions are more favorable for performing ninjutsu. Although the movements are slowed down, they are still very fast in the eyes of ordinary people, and they disappear in the blink of an eye.But for a master like them, Lu Xiaofeng deliberately slowed down the speed enough for them to see the process clearly.
Lu Xiaofeng rubbed his chin thoughtfully: "Looking at it now, the embroidered thief must not have sneaked into the treasury by himself. She must have an insider who got her the key to the treasury. This person must be Jiang Qingxia. Only she has the key." It is not suspected that she had access to Jiang Chongwei's personal belongings, and she was wearing a pair of red shoes."
Jin Jiuling nodded and said: "All the clues point to Gongsun Lan, she must be the Embroidered Thief."
Lu Xiaofeng nodded: "It seems so, but I always feel that something is wrong."
"What's wrong?"
"I can't say it, but I feel that everything went too smoothly, as if all the clues were sent to me without checking, which makes me a little uneasy."
"Haha." Jin Jiuling waved his fan and said with a teasing smile, "I think you are thinking too much. Not every case is so complicated and difficult to solve. Since there are clues, just follow them."
Lu Xiaofeng had no choice but to agree, and suppressed the little uneasiness in his heart for the time being.
……
The matter came to an end for the time being, Lin Heng was about to bid farewell to them and go home, but Lu Xiaofeng dragged them away and insisted on drinking together.
Hua Manlou shook his head, and said disapprovingly: "Lu Xiaofeng, Wuyu is not good at drinking, why do you force him?"
Lu Xiaofeng was aggrieved: "It's so crowded, we can order more delicious dishes, if you don't want to drink, you can eat more."
"..." Everyone was overwhelmed and couldn't help but glance at Lin Heng. He looked like he was eating wind and drinking dew, and he didn't eat whole grains at all. Let him be responsible for eating?
Hua Manlou supported his forehead and said with a headache, "Don't make trouble, okay?"
Lu Xiaofeng refused, he hadn't drunk yet, but he seemed to be drunk, he hugged Huamanlou and refused to let go: "Huamanlou, you have changed, you have really changed, you know now that you are facing Wuyu. No jade, no jade, no jade."
He was wronged like an abandoned child.
Hua Manlou was embarrassed.
Lin Heng was surprised, did he think too much?Why does it feel so weird?
The atmosphere suddenly became weird.
Jin Jiuling looked around, laughed awkwardly, and said haha, and said to Lin Heng: "Why don't Brother Lin stay and have a drink together? It's okay to replace wine with tea."
Lu Xiaofeng shouted: "Yes! Replace wine with tea! Flower tea made by Hua Manlou!"
Lin Heng: "..." Since you have so much resentment towards him, why do you have to hold him back?
In the end, Lin Heng didn't make it, and was dragged by Lu Xiaofeng to find the Snake King for a drink.
Hua Manlou walked beside Lin Heng, and said with embarrassment and helplessness: "Wuyu..."
Lu Xiaofeng turned around and smiled maliciously: "Today we won't go home until we're drunk!"
Lin Heng gritted his teeth, this guy really deserves a beating.
……
It was already late when they arrived, but the Snake King hadn't fallen asleep yet. The lights in his room were on, and there were still a few empty wine jars on the table.When Lu Xiaofeng and the others entered, he was smelling alcohol with the window open.
Seeing them, the Snake King smiled and joked, "What day is it today? Why do you come to drink with me? It's rare for me to be so lively here."
Lu Xiaofeng walked to Lin Heng's side: "Come on, Snake King, let me introduce you, this is Lin Wuyu."
The Snake King's face was pale, and his expression was very kind. It was hard to see that such a weak person turned out to be a big boss in the black street. He glanced at Lin Heng with a smile, and nodded: "I have long admired the name of Lord Lin."
Lin Heng said: "You're welcome."
Lu Xiaofeng said: "Since it's an honored guest, why don't you bring out the best wine!"
The Snake King laughed: "Naturally." He clapped his hands twice, and someone went down to get the wine.
Food and wine soon filled the table again, Lu Xiaofeng poured a full glass and drank it down: "It really is good wine, 30-year-old daughter red, thank you for having it here."
The Snake King looked at him, smiled and said, "Don't you want to know who was drinking here before?"
Lu Xiaofeng raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Could it be related to me? It can't be Ye Gucheng, right? Haha."
The Snake King shook his head: "Who doesn't know that both Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuuxue don't drink alcohol at all, they don't even drink tea, they only drink the purest white water."
"Who is that? Sikong?"
"It's Xue Bing."
"Xue Bing? Why did she come here to drink with you?" Lu Xiaofeng was puzzled.
"I don't know, maybe she just wanted to find someone to drink, but she didn't want to find you, so she had to come to me."
Lu Xiaofeng looked surprised, and the Snake King continued: "She drank, cried, and scolded you at the same time."
Lu Xiaofeng was even more puzzled: "Why did she scold me?"
The Snake King said: "I don't know. But she cried very sadly, calling you a bastard, a bastard, and not a human being. She also said that she was a fool, and then called you even more stupid, so stupid that she couldn't be more stupid. Finally, she cried She said she wanted to go home, and forced me to find two brothers to escort her home overnight."
Lu Xiaofeng was at a loss: "What is this all about? Are you sure she has returned home?"
The Snake King nodded: "It's already on the way, she can't wait for a moment, she wants to go home."
"It doesn't matter if she goes home, it's better for her to go home and be her eldest lady. I told her not to follow me, and I don't have time to take care of her." Lu Xiaofeng murmured.
Snake King felt that he had said all he had to say, so he stopped talking and drank wine with him one by one.
Although Lu Xiaofeng clamored to keep getting drunk with Lin Heng, he didn't really implement it, even if he thought about it, he would have a drink with him, and he didn't force him to finish the drink, mainly because he was drinking alone.Soon he was very drunk, dragging Huamanlou to chatter endlessly.Hua Manlou looked after him helplessly.
Jin Jiuling glanced at the Snake King, who turned pale, gritted his teeth and nodded.
Holding the cup, he said to Lin Heng: "Brother Lin, I offer you a toast."
Lin Heng can't be too pretentious when the host toasts, he still has to drink.After all, it's not true that he can't drink, and a glass of wine is nothing.
He held up the cup, but the Snake King said: "I know you are not good at drinking, so how can I force you, I have good tea here, Brother Lin will replace the wine with tea, and have a few cups with me, who is still a wink Bar."
After finishing speaking, he clapped his hands, and someone from below brought tea.
"Brother Lin, please."
"Please."
Lin Heng and Snake King drank one cup at a time.The corners of Jin Jiuling's mouth curled up, and he had a few drinks to entertain himself. After calculating that the time was almost up, he said, "Brother Lin, Brother Hua, I think Lu Xiaofeng will go crazy if he drinks any more. Let's take him away." Go back to the inn and let him sleep."
Lin Heng and Hua Manlou naturally had no objection, it was already late at night, what was going on with Lao Lai at the Snake King's place, only Lu Xiaofeng, a thick-skinned man, could be at ease.
Huamanlou helped Lu Xiaofeng, and Jin Jiuling volunteered to help.
Lu Xiaofeng was already drunk and started singing, he sang a poem intermittently.
"The Yellow River is far above the white clouds, and there is an isolated city called Wanren Mountain. Why should the Qiang flute blame the willows, the spring breeze does not cross the Yumen Pass..." He was obviously still thinking about Ye Gucheng.
He sang for a while, then stopped, and began to babble Huamanlou, and Lin Wuyu after a while.His tone was so complex and resentful that Lin Heng trembled when he heard it, and almost couldn't help but freeze him up.
"Huamanlou...Huamanlou...you, are you...hiccup...Lin Wuyu, Lin, Lin Wuyu..." His intermittent mournful voice was like a devil's voice filling his ears.Hua Manlou looked like he was going to collapse, he couldn't figure out why Lu Xiaofeng had so much resentment towards Wuyu.He could clearly see that Lu Xiaofeng regarded Wuyu as a good friend in his heart!
Lin Heng followed behind, sneering.Heh, this guy usually calls himself Wuyu, but when he's drunk he looks like he's half dead and calls him Lin Wuyu.The resentment can be condensed into a solid body, but I haven't figured out why. It's worse than Hu Tiehua. Hu Tiehua knows who he likes anyway.
In view of Lu Xiaofeng's attitude towards him, he decided not to remind him.Just let him figure it out on his own.
After finally getting Lu Xiaofeng back to the inn, they all breathed a sigh of relief.Lin Heng looked at the sky outside, and would come back soon after returning home, so he didn't go back at all, and asked the shopkeeper to open another room for him.
Lin Heng let go of the alcohol, lying on the bed with all his clothes on, looking at the top of the bed, unable to fall asleep.
He looked at his black clothes, got up from the bed, extinguished the candle, stood by the window and looked at the street below.A vague sense of dislocation arises spontaneously.
It's a pity that the street below will not have a person he misses walking by.
He pinched his sleeves, and the dark pattern of the same color reflected silver light under the moonlight, which was very beautiful.
He thought that in the future he should wear more black clothes and less white clothes, so that he would look more appropriate.
—Du, dun, dun.
A knock on the door interrupted his thoughts, and he relit the lamp and opened the door.
Jin Jiuling stood outside the door, holding a bowl of steaming brown soup in his hand, seeing him open the door, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"What's the matter?" Lin Heng's mood was not very beautiful, and his attitude was quite cold.
Jin Jiuling smiled, didn't take it seriously, and said in a gentle tone: "Brother Lin is not good at drinking, Lu Xiaofeng dragged you to drink so much, I'm afraid you'll have a headache tomorrow, so I specially asked someone to make hangover soup, drink it while it's hot."
Lin Heng frowned, and took a look at the bowl of soup—it looked terrible.He took it and said lightly, "Thank you, I'll drink it later."
Jin Jiuling swept across his slender and delicate fingers like white jade, and smiled: "Okay. Then I won't bother, and I'm going to give Lu Xiaofeng a bowl too."
Lin Heng nodded: "Okay, goodbye." Then he closed the door.
Jin Jiuling's face instantly became ferocious.
He turned around and left, it didn't matter whether Lin Heng drank the hangover soup, that bowl of soup was just an excuse, nothing was added in it.He asked Snake King to add the real drug to the tea, and the dosage was calculated very accurately. Let alone one Lin Wuyu, even ten Lin Wuyus should be unconscious at this time.
What the hell is going on here? !Why is Lin Wuyu fine? !
……
Deep in the Black Street, the residence of the Snake King.
Jin Jiuling broke in with a dark face, and said angrily, "How dare you lie to me about what I asked you to do?! Do you really think that I won't do anything to you? Do you want your brothers to die?"
The Snake King looked sick and coughed a few times: "I did what you said, and you brought the medicine yourself. What's the point of me playing such a trick that will be exposed in a moment?"
"Then tell me, why is there nothing wrong with Lin Wuyu?!" Jin Jiuling gritted his teeth.
The Snake King was silent for a while, and said: "I don't know, maybe the other party has some kind of treasure to avoid poison and solve puzzles. After all, the Honglou family has a great career, which is beyond the reach of ordinary Jianghu people."
Jin Jiuling's face darkened and he didn't speak. He obviously felt that what the Snake King said was reasonable.
He sat there with a sullen and sinister face, where there was no trace of Mr. Pianpian, he looked ugly and annoying.
After a long time, he only heard him say sadly: "Let me ask you, is that Hui Huang who came out of you that day the bereaved dog from Miaojiang? Find someone to kill him for me."
The Snake King coughed a few times and shook his head: "It is indeed him, but I can't kill him."
Jin Jiuling looked at him disdainfully: "Oh. Why, are you afraid of his Gu? How many worms can he have, can you send more people there?"
Snake King sighed: "I am not afraid of him, but the person behind him. He is from the East Palace. A person like me, even if I have ten guts, I would not dare to provoke the prince. No killer organization would dare to take on that man." A single."
"The rules of the rivers and lakes, we and the imperial court have always kept the water in the well. Whoever dares to destroy will not only face the wanted by the court, but also face the lore order jointly issued by the five aristocratic families. Boss Jin, if I do this for you, My whole black street will cease to exist, let alone my brothers who have fallen into your hands?"
Jin Jiuling was taken aback, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.He pinched his fan bone, and said with force of composure: "Hmph, since that's the case, forget it, you continue to act according to the original plan, and I will notify you if there is anything."
The Snake King's eyes showed deep tiredness and helplessness, and said: "Got it."
Jin Jiuling left the Snake King's place and walked on the road alone, chewing on the words of the Snake King in his mind, but he didn't expect Hui Huang to be from the East Palace. What about Lin Wuyu?
He recalled the scene when he saw Hui Huang that day, Hui Huang seemed to have seen Lin Wuyu, but Lin Wuyu didn't recognize him, just knew such a person.There must be a common point between them that can be connected.
Grey, East Palace.East Palace, Lin Wuyu.
Unexpectedly, the Red Chamber is also the power of the prince.
Counting the time when the Red Mansion was founded, Lin Wuyu has been with the prince for some years.No wonder the prince has never been close to beauty these years. If he had such a peerless beauty by his side, he would lose interest in those vulgar fans.
Heh, it really is good to be noble.A person who is proud like a fairy in front of him will still bow his head obediently and let others play with him when he is in front of the prince.
He speculated maliciously about Lin Heng, as if this would make him feel better.
It's just that he was a little scared after all. He designed all this to keep his status and continue to squander at the same time.
If he had known that Lin Wuyu belonged to the crown prince, he would never have set his mind on him.
Thinking of the gray eyes mocking him at that time, he knew it was over.
Hui Wang must have seen his intentions, he had killed Dong Gong, and when the prince was free, he would never let him go.
No matter how ingeniously blaming him, he couldn't save him.
Realizing that he had come to an end, Jin Jiuling was a little flustered. At that moment, he could be said to be in a state of confusion and fear to the extreme.
But then he calmed down slowly, and a crazy idea emerged in his heart.Anyway, he has already offended people, and it is impossible to become an official, so why not give it a go and fly away with the money?With his ability, he only needs to hide for a few years, and he can still be a big boss like a snake king.
Heh, I don't know what the noble prince's expression is when he knows that his beauty has been ruined by him?
He thought happily, and even let out a joyful laugh, as if he had seen the scene that made him happy.
This person is like a poisonous snake entrenched in the dark night, hissing and spitting out a letter, ugly and disgusting, almost making people spit it out.
……
Jin Jiuling re-sent the letter to Snake King, and then returned to the inn to start his new plan.
When the sky gradually brightened, Jin Jiuling calmly walked out of the door and walked towards Huamanlou's room.
Benedict.Benedict.Benedict.
He knocked on the door: "Brother Hua, are you awake?"
"Wait a minute." Hua Manlou's voice was a little tired.
After a while, he opened the door: "Captain Jin, what's the matter?"
Jin Jiuling smiled, and asked: "Is Lu Xiaofeng still sleeping? I'm sorry for you." His tone was a bit teasing.
Hua Manlou said helplessly: "He's been a little weird recently, but he's actually okay, it's just that he came back too late last night, and I didn't have a good rest."
"Is Catcher Jin here to look for him? I'm afraid we will have to wait for a while."
Jin Jiuling shook his head: "Look at me, I forgot, I'm not here to find him, I'm here to find you."
"Oh? But something happened?"
"Yeah, I met the waiter just now. He said that a man named Jiang Chongwei left you a message saying that he wanted to talk to you about something. As long as you go alone, you will be in Qixia Temple."
"Oh?" Hua Manlou was a little surprised, and then smiled happily: "Hero Jiang is willing to talk to me, he must have figured it out. I'll just clean up and go over to see him. Lu Xiaofeng, please take care of him first." It's over."
Jin Jiuling smiled and said: "I think he also has some things on his mind that he wants to tell you, otherwise why would he only ask you to go alone, don't worry, Lu Xiaofeng will leave it to me."
Huamanlou does not doubt that he has him, and is pleased that Yu Jiang Chongwei can finally face the fact that he is blind, and wants to have a good talk with him, hoping that he can live well and happily in the future.
After Huamanlou went out, Jin Jiuling raised the corners of his mouth, opened the door and entered the room, and walked to Lu Xiaofeng who was lying on the bed and sleeping in the dark.
He poured a bowl of water, took out a bottle from his chest, took some powder from it and popped it into the bowl, then patted Lu Xiaofeng.
"Lu Xiaofeng, wake up, Huamanlou made you hangover soup, get up and drink it."
When Lu Xiaofeng heard Hua Manlou's name, he got up in a daze, took the bowl of water and drank it down, then continued to lie down, sleeping unconsciously.
After finishing all this, he returned to his room with a smile on his face, waiting for the news of success.
Not long after, a pigeon flew in. Jin Jiuling smiled triumphantly, untied the bamboo tube, and let the pigeon go.
He took a deep breath and slammed on Lin Heng's door in panic: "Brother Lin, brother Lin, come out quickly, something happened to Huamanlou!"
Lin Heng was startled when he heard that something had happened to Huamanlou, and quickly opened the door: "What's going on?"
Jin Jiuling handed him the note in his hand: "It's Jiang Qingxia! She tricked Huamanlou into going to Qixia Nunnery by falsely spreading Jiang Chongwei's news. In order to avenge Lu Xiaofeng's previous exposure of her, she plotted against Huamanlou. If it wasn't for my caution , and sent brothers to watch Qixia Temple, Hua Manlou will be killed by her without anyone noticing."
Lin Heng finished the note and glanced at it. It was a letter sent to Jin Jiuling by the policeman of Six Doors, which probably explained the assassination of Huamanlou.
He suddenly became anxious: "Why is this happening? How is Huamanlou doing now?"
Jin Jiuling said: "He is very poisonous, I sent him to the Snake King. He has the best black doctor in the capital and is best at poison. He will be fine."
Lin Heng nodded, and said anxiously, "Let's go to the Snake King now."
After saying that, he dodged, turned into a black shadow, and ran towards the Snake King at full speed.
Jin Jiuling couldn't catch up with him, but he was not in a hurry, and went straight to the small building of the Snake King.
When Lin Heng arrived in front of the small building, he broke in through the window without going through the door, startling the Snake King.
After seeing clearly that it was him, he stopped the brothers at the bottom and told them to go down, and said to Lin Heng with a sad face: "Brother Lin, are you here? Where is Lu Xiaofeng? Huamanlou is... I'm afraid it's..."
Lin Heng saw Hua Manlou lying unconscious on the bed at a glance, walked up to him in a few steps, and said anxiously: "What's going on? What kind of poison is it? Where's the doctor? Where's your black doctor?!"
The Snake King's face became even paler, and grief flashed in his eyes: "Kaixin Powder. The doctor has seen it, the poison has entered the lungs, there is no cure, he can't last half an hour."
At this time Jin Jiuling had also arrived, he stepped forward and patted Lin Heng on the shoulder, and said in a sad voice: "Brother Lin, don't be like this, calm down, let's think of a way."
Lin Heng woke up suddenly: "Yes, there is another way."
He untied the Bailing wrapped around his wrist, stuffed it into Huamanlou's chest, and stared at Huamanlou's face worriedly and expectantly: "Qitong, can you hear me? Hold on a little longer, hold on a little longer alright."
He regards Huamanlou as his best friend and never wants anything to happen to him.
The author has something to say: I know, I know, when I post four, he will get his bento really soon!Believe me! ! !
Lin Heng nodded: "Understood."
He took the sheepskin bag and went out, instead of going to the palace in a hurry, he found a place to sit down, took out the few pieces of paper in the bag and looked at them carefully, trying to remember all these in his mind.In case you can't remember the way when you get there, you have to take out a map on the spot to look at it. That scene is too ridiculous.
After being baptized by Shi Guanyin, Lin Heng had deep doubts about his ability to recognize the way, and dared not be careless.Fortunately, the palace was built in a very orderly manner, completely in line with the specifications stipulated by the imperial court.Lin Heng looked through it for a long time, making sure that he had engraved all these in his mind before putting it away.
The sheepskin bag was crumpled into a ball, and then frozen into a lump of ice harder than iron, but was crushed by a long, white palm the next moment, turning into bits of ice and floating in the air.
……
As the evening approached, Lin Heng started to move. He changed into black clothes, touched the courtyard wall of Prince Pingnan's mansion, and jumped in.This is the foothold he had chosen long ago. After entering, it will be the back garden of the palace, covered by the dense bamboo forest, almost no one will notice.
His body was light and nimble, and he swept across lightly like a butterfly's wings, not even leaving a trace of the wind, and soon arrived in front of the treasure house.
There are no windows on all sides of the treasure house, and the walls are still made of huge stones, which are obviously extremely strong.Lin Heng caught one of the guards walking through the gap around the corner, and flew onto the roof.He leaned on the roof, lifted a tile, and was speechless for a moment—there were steel and iron pillars under the tiles, so many layers that a moth could fly in, and no one would be able to get in.
He was a little troubled, this treasure house was like a tortoise shell, there was no way to get his mouth out.If he wanted to get in without anyone noticing, he still had another method, but this method did not apply to the Embroidered Thief at all.
At this moment, Lu Xiaofeng and the others came over, Lin Heng held his breath and concentrated, reducing his sense of existence to nothingness, lurking there, waiting for the opportunity.
The timing was the moment Lu Xiaofeng opened the door, Lin Heng twisted his body, the air seemed to be distorted for a moment, he disappeared suddenly, and when he reappeared, he was already standing in the treasure house.
When Lu Xiaofeng pushed the door open completely, he saw Lin Heng standing there in black, and was very pleasantly surprised: "Wuyu, how did you do it?"
Lin Heng frowned in distress, and replied: "It's a kind of ninjutsu from Japan. I have seen Shi Guanyin use this technique, and it often has miraculous effects in sneak attacks, so I studied it specifically, but..."
"how?"
"The so-called ninjutsu is nothing more than the use of light and shadow and bone shrinking skills, with the help of a special light-weight technique, to form an explosion in an instant, creating an illusion that deceives the eyes. In fact, I did not successfully enter the treasure house just now, but when you opened the door I came in at that moment, but I can do it this way, but the Embroidered Thief can't, because she's wearing a red dress."
After he explained it like this, everyone understood, Lu Xiaofeng stroked his beard and thought: "Could it be that she was wearing black clothes outside before she came in, and then took off after she came in?"
Lin Heng shook his head: "It can't be that fast, at least I can't do it. Ninjutsu actually has a lot of restrictions, so it can only be used in a short distance, and what can be grasped is that moment. How about this, I will show you again, This time I will slow down, you will understand after a closer look."
After finishing speaking, he jumped out, flew onto the roof, and hid himself, intending to restore what happened at that moment just now.
Lu Xiaofeng and the others followed and looked up at him.
Lin Heng glanced down, and slowly stood up from the roof. He was about to adjust the angle, but he was startled and stopped.
At some point on the opposite roof stood a man in white. Seeing him looking over, the man in white smiled slightly, his eyes shining brighter than the cold stars in the sky.
Lin Heng immediately went on alert.
The person on the opposite side didn't hesitate at all, a sword light flashed, unparalleled in brilliance, and extremely fast, and suddenly arrived in front of Lin Heng, and the sword pointed directly at his chest, there was no way to avoid it, only hard resistance.
Lin Heng tapped his toes, flew backwards, drew out his soft sword, lightly shook it, and laid it across his chest, blocking the fatal blow without any risk.
The two swords collided, overflowing with vigor, but the force of the impact was far less than that of Ximen Chuuxue's sword on the water pavilion.Because Ximen Chuuxue never held back his hands, but this man in white did, obviously he had no intention of actually killing Lin Heng.
After the blow, the man in white didn't continue to attack. He stood there with a sword, standing there gracefully, as handsome and incomparable as Ziwei Xingjun.
Lin Heng raised his sword and stood opposite him: "Ye Gucheng?"
The man in white looked at him appreciatively, "Lin Wuyu? You are very good. The sword just now was exquisite."
Lin Heng smiled: "You are also very good. The trick just now was the Flying Immortal from Heaven? Under the reputation, it really is true."
The two people switched from a life-and-death struggle to flattering each other in an instant.
No one knows how much impact such a picture has had on the onlookers below.
The sunset glow in the sky is like a brocade, and the gorgeous colors pour over the two figures standing on the roof, one black and one white, holding a sword. The superimposition of two dazzling faces with different styles but equally good-looking is very appealing to all people with normal aesthetics. A visual feast, psychological tragedy.
Lu Xiaofeng thought miserably - after today, he might fall into a kind of detachment where all the beauties in the world are like clouds, and the vagabond will turn into a prodigal son.
On the roof, Ye Gucheng smiled: "One more time?"
Lin Heng withdrew his sword and looked at him: "Before, Ximen Chuuxue also asked me to compete."
Ye Gucheng nodded: "I know."
Lin Heng said: "I didn't answer him at the time. Thinking about it afterwards, I was really not very kind. So I will not refuse you today. But there is one thing, I still have to say - I am not a swordsman."
Ye Gucheng frowned slightly: "Understood."
Lin Heng nodded: "Then come on, I will use my best palm technique."
Ye Gucheng raised his sword, Lin Heng flew sideways, and slapped Ye Gucheng on the shoulder.The internal force is attached to the palm, and the place where the wind of the palm sweeps, it is cold to the bone, as if you are in an endless sea of nothingness, there is no end, and there is no way back.
Even Ye Gucheng didn't dare to resist the palm, so he stepped back quickly to avoid its sharp edge for the time being.
Then the sword light flashed, and the long sword stabbed with the momentum of thunder. Lin Heng did not retreat but advanced, and slapped Ye Gucheng's sword-holding wrist with his palm, forcing Ye Gucheng to give up this attack.
His palm technique is fierce and changeable, it can be said that he has no flaws, and Ye Gucheng's several attacks have been resolved by him.Even so, Ye Gucheng was still not in a hurry, every time he stabbed with the sword, he was testing the opponent's ability.
The top swordsmen are often more patient and sharp than the best killers. They can concentrate on lurking and waiting, just to find the opportunity to stab the deadly sword.In an instant, he can send the sword in his hand into the chest of his opponent.
Lin Heng naturally understood this, so he would not give Ye Gucheng any chance.The two fought for an hour, still in the temptation of back and forth, the sword and palm movements were wonderful, and the surge of internal energy was really deep.The onlookers watched the excitement and thought it was exciting, and the knowledgeable people felt helpless. Such a situation would inevitably occur in a duel between masters. According to this way of playing, I am afraid that it will take another three days and three nights until one party really can't hold on and reveals its flaws. to end.
Lu Xiaofeng raised his neck and shouted: "Hey, I told you two not to fight, what's the point of you two fighting like this? We still have business to do!"
Ye Gucheng and Lin Heng flew back a few steps at the same time, and stood still.It really doesn't make sense to fight like this.
Ye Gucheng was helpless: "Is it still not possible?"
Lin Heng smiled lightly and shook his head: "It seems impossible."
Ye Gucheng looked at him and asked seriously, "How is Ximen Chuuxue?"
Lin Heng said solemnly: "I will never be inferior to you."
Ye Gucheng nodded.
Lu Xiaofeng jumped up a few steps and landed beside them, Hua Manlou and Jin Jiuling also followed.
"Ye Gucheng, why are you here?" Lu Xiaofeng asked.
Ye Gucheng looked at him: "You know, Prince Pingnan's son is my apprentice. I was there when Jin Jiuling asked King Pingnan to open the warehouse and reproduce the scene of that day. I don't think you can just think so simply. To open the warehouse again, the biggest possibility is that someone wants to break into the warehouse again to see if they can find clues, this is the real thing, to reproduce the scene of that day."
Lu Xiaofeng raised his eyebrows, and lazily clapped his palms a few times: "As expected of Ye Gucheng, the Lord of Baiyun City, you are amazing."
Ye Gucheng smiled slightly, and continued: "I know you invited Huamanlou and Lin Wuyu to help, guess if you want to break into the treasure house, it must be Lin Wuyu with the best martial arts. I came here specially to fight with him war."
Lu Xiaofeng clicked his tongue twice and sighed: "It seems that the result is not satisfactory."
Ye Gucheng said: "I have decided to fight Ximen Chuuxue."
Lu Xiaofeng's face darkened, and the rest of the people's faces were also not very good-looking, everyone understood what this meant, it was different from the competition between Ye Gucheng and Lin Heng just now.
——This is the battle of two peerless swordsmen to prove their way.
Once shot, there is no room for it.Thinking that one of Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuuxue may fall from now on, who can be happy?
Lu Xiaofeng felt his throat was very dry, he asked: "When?"
Ye Gucheng turned his head and looked to the other side of the sky: "It won't be long."
Everyone was silent, Ye Gucheng chuckled and said, "I'm leaving."
He turned and left without saying goodbye.This man is cold and proud like the snow and ice on a distant mountain, even if it melts a little, it is only fleeting.
Lu Xiaofeng said: "Suddenly I want to drink a little bit, and if I want to drink, I won't get drunk."
Hua Manlou sighed: "You should know that if they really decide to fight, you won't be able to stop them."
"So I just wanted to drink."
Lin Heng said lightly: "So you don't investigate the case anymore?"
Lu Xiaofeng choked, feeling a little guilty, and sighed, "Of course we need to investigate."
Jin Jiuling said: "Then let's start from where we were interrupted just now, Brother Lin, please excuse me."
"It's okay."
The night is dark now, and the conditions are more favorable for performing ninjutsu. Although the movements are slowed down, they are still very fast in the eyes of ordinary people, and they disappear in the blink of an eye.But for a master like them, Lu Xiaofeng deliberately slowed down the speed enough for them to see the process clearly.
Lu Xiaofeng rubbed his chin thoughtfully: "Looking at it now, the embroidered thief must not have sneaked into the treasury by himself. She must have an insider who got her the key to the treasury. This person must be Jiang Qingxia. Only she has the key." It is not suspected that she had access to Jiang Chongwei's personal belongings, and she was wearing a pair of red shoes."
Jin Jiuling nodded and said: "All the clues point to Gongsun Lan, she must be the Embroidered Thief."
Lu Xiaofeng nodded: "It seems so, but I always feel that something is wrong."
"What's wrong?"
"I can't say it, but I feel that everything went too smoothly, as if all the clues were sent to me without checking, which makes me a little uneasy."
"Haha." Jin Jiuling waved his fan and said with a teasing smile, "I think you are thinking too much. Not every case is so complicated and difficult to solve. Since there are clues, just follow them."
Lu Xiaofeng had no choice but to agree, and suppressed the little uneasiness in his heart for the time being.
……
The matter came to an end for the time being, Lin Heng was about to bid farewell to them and go home, but Lu Xiaofeng dragged them away and insisted on drinking together.
Hua Manlou shook his head, and said disapprovingly: "Lu Xiaofeng, Wuyu is not good at drinking, why do you force him?"
Lu Xiaofeng was aggrieved: "It's so crowded, we can order more delicious dishes, if you don't want to drink, you can eat more."
"..." Everyone was overwhelmed and couldn't help but glance at Lin Heng. He looked like he was eating wind and drinking dew, and he didn't eat whole grains at all. Let him be responsible for eating?
Hua Manlou supported his forehead and said with a headache, "Don't make trouble, okay?"
Lu Xiaofeng refused, he hadn't drunk yet, but he seemed to be drunk, he hugged Huamanlou and refused to let go: "Huamanlou, you have changed, you have really changed, you know now that you are facing Wuyu. No jade, no jade, no jade."
He was wronged like an abandoned child.
Hua Manlou was embarrassed.
Lin Heng was surprised, did he think too much?Why does it feel so weird?
The atmosphere suddenly became weird.
Jin Jiuling looked around, laughed awkwardly, and said haha, and said to Lin Heng: "Why don't Brother Lin stay and have a drink together? It's okay to replace wine with tea."
Lu Xiaofeng shouted: "Yes! Replace wine with tea! Flower tea made by Hua Manlou!"
Lin Heng: "..." Since you have so much resentment towards him, why do you have to hold him back?
In the end, Lin Heng didn't make it, and was dragged by Lu Xiaofeng to find the Snake King for a drink.
Hua Manlou walked beside Lin Heng, and said with embarrassment and helplessness: "Wuyu..."
Lu Xiaofeng turned around and smiled maliciously: "Today we won't go home until we're drunk!"
Lin Heng gritted his teeth, this guy really deserves a beating.
……
It was already late when they arrived, but the Snake King hadn't fallen asleep yet. The lights in his room were on, and there were still a few empty wine jars on the table.When Lu Xiaofeng and the others entered, he was smelling alcohol with the window open.
Seeing them, the Snake King smiled and joked, "What day is it today? Why do you come to drink with me? It's rare for me to be so lively here."
Lu Xiaofeng walked to Lin Heng's side: "Come on, Snake King, let me introduce you, this is Lin Wuyu."
The Snake King's face was pale, and his expression was very kind. It was hard to see that such a weak person turned out to be a big boss in the black street. He glanced at Lin Heng with a smile, and nodded: "I have long admired the name of Lord Lin."
Lin Heng said: "You're welcome."
Lu Xiaofeng said: "Since it's an honored guest, why don't you bring out the best wine!"
The Snake King laughed: "Naturally." He clapped his hands twice, and someone went down to get the wine.
Food and wine soon filled the table again, Lu Xiaofeng poured a full glass and drank it down: "It really is good wine, 30-year-old daughter red, thank you for having it here."
The Snake King looked at him, smiled and said, "Don't you want to know who was drinking here before?"
Lu Xiaofeng raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Could it be related to me? It can't be Ye Gucheng, right? Haha."
The Snake King shook his head: "Who doesn't know that both Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuuxue don't drink alcohol at all, they don't even drink tea, they only drink the purest white water."
"Who is that? Sikong?"
"It's Xue Bing."
"Xue Bing? Why did she come here to drink with you?" Lu Xiaofeng was puzzled.
"I don't know, maybe she just wanted to find someone to drink, but she didn't want to find you, so she had to come to me."
Lu Xiaofeng looked surprised, and the Snake King continued: "She drank, cried, and scolded you at the same time."
Lu Xiaofeng was even more puzzled: "Why did she scold me?"
The Snake King said: "I don't know. But she cried very sadly, calling you a bastard, a bastard, and not a human being. She also said that she was a fool, and then called you even more stupid, so stupid that she couldn't be more stupid. Finally, she cried She said she wanted to go home, and forced me to find two brothers to escort her home overnight."
Lu Xiaofeng was at a loss: "What is this all about? Are you sure she has returned home?"
The Snake King nodded: "It's already on the way, she can't wait for a moment, she wants to go home."
"It doesn't matter if she goes home, it's better for her to go home and be her eldest lady. I told her not to follow me, and I don't have time to take care of her." Lu Xiaofeng murmured.
Snake King felt that he had said all he had to say, so he stopped talking and drank wine with him one by one.
Although Lu Xiaofeng clamored to keep getting drunk with Lin Heng, he didn't really implement it, even if he thought about it, he would have a drink with him, and he didn't force him to finish the drink, mainly because he was drinking alone.Soon he was very drunk, dragging Huamanlou to chatter endlessly.Hua Manlou looked after him helplessly.
Jin Jiuling glanced at the Snake King, who turned pale, gritted his teeth and nodded.
Holding the cup, he said to Lin Heng: "Brother Lin, I offer you a toast."
Lin Heng can't be too pretentious when the host toasts, he still has to drink.After all, it's not true that he can't drink, and a glass of wine is nothing.
He held up the cup, but the Snake King said: "I know you are not good at drinking, so how can I force you, I have good tea here, Brother Lin will replace the wine with tea, and have a few cups with me, who is still a wink Bar."
After finishing speaking, he clapped his hands, and someone from below brought tea.
"Brother Lin, please."
"Please."
Lin Heng and Snake King drank one cup at a time.The corners of Jin Jiuling's mouth curled up, and he had a few drinks to entertain himself. After calculating that the time was almost up, he said, "Brother Lin, Brother Hua, I think Lu Xiaofeng will go crazy if he drinks any more. Let's take him away." Go back to the inn and let him sleep."
Lin Heng and Hua Manlou naturally had no objection, it was already late at night, what was going on with Lao Lai at the Snake King's place, only Lu Xiaofeng, a thick-skinned man, could be at ease.
Huamanlou helped Lu Xiaofeng, and Jin Jiuling volunteered to help.
Lu Xiaofeng was already drunk and started singing, he sang a poem intermittently.
"The Yellow River is far above the white clouds, and there is an isolated city called Wanren Mountain. Why should the Qiang flute blame the willows, the spring breeze does not cross the Yumen Pass..." He was obviously still thinking about Ye Gucheng.
He sang for a while, then stopped, and began to babble Huamanlou, and Lin Wuyu after a while.His tone was so complex and resentful that Lin Heng trembled when he heard it, and almost couldn't help but freeze him up.
"Huamanlou...Huamanlou...you, are you...hiccup...Lin Wuyu, Lin, Lin Wuyu..." His intermittent mournful voice was like a devil's voice filling his ears.Hua Manlou looked like he was going to collapse, he couldn't figure out why Lu Xiaofeng had so much resentment towards Wuyu.He could clearly see that Lu Xiaofeng regarded Wuyu as a good friend in his heart!
Lin Heng followed behind, sneering.Heh, this guy usually calls himself Wuyu, but when he's drunk he looks like he's half dead and calls him Lin Wuyu.The resentment can be condensed into a solid body, but I haven't figured out why. It's worse than Hu Tiehua. Hu Tiehua knows who he likes anyway.
In view of Lu Xiaofeng's attitude towards him, he decided not to remind him.Just let him figure it out on his own.
After finally getting Lu Xiaofeng back to the inn, they all breathed a sigh of relief.Lin Heng looked at the sky outside, and would come back soon after returning home, so he didn't go back at all, and asked the shopkeeper to open another room for him.
Lin Heng let go of the alcohol, lying on the bed with all his clothes on, looking at the top of the bed, unable to fall asleep.
He looked at his black clothes, got up from the bed, extinguished the candle, stood by the window and looked at the street below.A vague sense of dislocation arises spontaneously.
It's a pity that the street below will not have a person he misses walking by.
He pinched his sleeves, and the dark pattern of the same color reflected silver light under the moonlight, which was very beautiful.
He thought that in the future he should wear more black clothes and less white clothes, so that he would look more appropriate.
—Du, dun, dun.
A knock on the door interrupted his thoughts, and he relit the lamp and opened the door.
Jin Jiuling stood outside the door, holding a bowl of steaming brown soup in his hand, seeing him open the door, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"What's the matter?" Lin Heng's mood was not very beautiful, and his attitude was quite cold.
Jin Jiuling smiled, didn't take it seriously, and said in a gentle tone: "Brother Lin is not good at drinking, Lu Xiaofeng dragged you to drink so much, I'm afraid you'll have a headache tomorrow, so I specially asked someone to make hangover soup, drink it while it's hot."
Lin Heng frowned, and took a look at the bowl of soup—it looked terrible.He took it and said lightly, "Thank you, I'll drink it later."
Jin Jiuling swept across his slender and delicate fingers like white jade, and smiled: "Okay. Then I won't bother, and I'm going to give Lu Xiaofeng a bowl too."
Lin Heng nodded: "Okay, goodbye." Then he closed the door.
Jin Jiuling's face instantly became ferocious.
He turned around and left, it didn't matter whether Lin Heng drank the hangover soup, that bowl of soup was just an excuse, nothing was added in it.He asked Snake King to add the real drug to the tea, and the dosage was calculated very accurately. Let alone one Lin Wuyu, even ten Lin Wuyus should be unconscious at this time.
What the hell is going on here? !Why is Lin Wuyu fine? !
……
Deep in the Black Street, the residence of the Snake King.
Jin Jiuling broke in with a dark face, and said angrily, "How dare you lie to me about what I asked you to do?! Do you really think that I won't do anything to you? Do you want your brothers to die?"
The Snake King looked sick and coughed a few times: "I did what you said, and you brought the medicine yourself. What's the point of me playing such a trick that will be exposed in a moment?"
"Then tell me, why is there nothing wrong with Lin Wuyu?!" Jin Jiuling gritted his teeth.
The Snake King was silent for a while, and said: "I don't know, maybe the other party has some kind of treasure to avoid poison and solve puzzles. After all, the Honglou family has a great career, which is beyond the reach of ordinary Jianghu people."
Jin Jiuling's face darkened and he didn't speak. He obviously felt that what the Snake King said was reasonable.
He sat there with a sullen and sinister face, where there was no trace of Mr. Pianpian, he looked ugly and annoying.
After a long time, he only heard him say sadly: "Let me ask you, is that Hui Huang who came out of you that day the bereaved dog from Miaojiang? Find someone to kill him for me."
The Snake King coughed a few times and shook his head: "It is indeed him, but I can't kill him."
Jin Jiuling looked at him disdainfully: "Oh. Why, are you afraid of his Gu? How many worms can he have, can you send more people there?"
Snake King sighed: "I am not afraid of him, but the person behind him. He is from the East Palace. A person like me, even if I have ten guts, I would not dare to provoke the prince. No killer organization would dare to take on that man." A single."
"The rules of the rivers and lakes, we and the imperial court have always kept the water in the well. Whoever dares to destroy will not only face the wanted by the court, but also face the lore order jointly issued by the five aristocratic families. Boss Jin, if I do this for you, My whole black street will cease to exist, let alone my brothers who have fallen into your hands?"
Jin Jiuling was taken aback, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.He pinched his fan bone, and said with force of composure: "Hmph, since that's the case, forget it, you continue to act according to the original plan, and I will notify you if there is anything."
The Snake King's eyes showed deep tiredness and helplessness, and said: "Got it."
Jin Jiuling left the Snake King's place and walked on the road alone, chewing on the words of the Snake King in his mind, but he didn't expect Hui Huang to be from the East Palace. What about Lin Wuyu?
He recalled the scene when he saw Hui Huang that day, Hui Huang seemed to have seen Lin Wuyu, but Lin Wuyu didn't recognize him, just knew such a person.There must be a common point between them that can be connected.
Grey, East Palace.East Palace, Lin Wuyu.
Unexpectedly, the Red Chamber is also the power of the prince.
Counting the time when the Red Mansion was founded, Lin Wuyu has been with the prince for some years.No wonder the prince has never been close to beauty these years. If he had such a peerless beauty by his side, he would lose interest in those vulgar fans.
Heh, it really is good to be noble.A person who is proud like a fairy in front of him will still bow his head obediently and let others play with him when he is in front of the prince.
He speculated maliciously about Lin Heng, as if this would make him feel better.
It's just that he was a little scared after all. He designed all this to keep his status and continue to squander at the same time.
If he had known that Lin Wuyu belonged to the crown prince, he would never have set his mind on him.
Thinking of the gray eyes mocking him at that time, he knew it was over.
Hui Wang must have seen his intentions, he had killed Dong Gong, and when the prince was free, he would never let him go.
No matter how ingeniously blaming him, he couldn't save him.
Realizing that he had come to an end, Jin Jiuling was a little flustered. At that moment, he could be said to be in a state of confusion and fear to the extreme.
But then he calmed down slowly, and a crazy idea emerged in his heart.Anyway, he has already offended people, and it is impossible to become an official, so why not give it a go and fly away with the money?With his ability, he only needs to hide for a few years, and he can still be a big boss like a snake king.
Heh, I don't know what the noble prince's expression is when he knows that his beauty has been ruined by him?
He thought happily, and even let out a joyful laugh, as if he had seen the scene that made him happy.
This person is like a poisonous snake entrenched in the dark night, hissing and spitting out a letter, ugly and disgusting, almost making people spit it out.
……
Jin Jiuling re-sent the letter to Snake King, and then returned to the inn to start his new plan.
When the sky gradually brightened, Jin Jiuling calmly walked out of the door and walked towards Huamanlou's room.
Benedict.Benedict.Benedict.
He knocked on the door: "Brother Hua, are you awake?"
"Wait a minute." Hua Manlou's voice was a little tired.
After a while, he opened the door: "Captain Jin, what's the matter?"
Jin Jiuling smiled, and asked: "Is Lu Xiaofeng still sleeping? I'm sorry for you." His tone was a bit teasing.
Hua Manlou said helplessly: "He's been a little weird recently, but he's actually okay, it's just that he came back too late last night, and I didn't have a good rest."
"Is Catcher Jin here to look for him? I'm afraid we will have to wait for a while."
Jin Jiuling shook his head: "Look at me, I forgot, I'm not here to find him, I'm here to find you."
"Oh? But something happened?"
"Yeah, I met the waiter just now. He said that a man named Jiang Chongwei left you a message saying that he wanted to talk to you about something. As long as you go alone, you will be in Qixia Temple."
"Oh?" Hua Manlou was a little surprised, and then smiled happily: "Hero Jiang is willing to talk to me, he must have figured it out. I'll just clean up and go over to see him. Lu Xiaofeng, please take care of him first." It's over."
Jin Jiuling smiled and said: "I think he also has some things on his mind that he wants to tell you, otherwise why would he only ask you to go alone, don't worry, Lu Xiaofeng will leave it to me."
Huamanlou does not doubt that he has him, and is pleased that Yu Jiang Chongwei can finally face the fact that he is blind, and wants to have a good talk with him, hoping that he can live well and happily in the future.
After Huamanlou went out, Jin Jiuling raised the corners of his mouth, opened the door and entered the room, and walked to Lu Xiaofeng who was lying on the bed and sleeping in the dark.
He poured a bowl of water, took out a bottle from his chest, took some powder from it and popped it into the bowl, then patted Lu Xiaofeng.
"Lu Xiaofeng, wake up, Huamanlou made you hangover soup, get up and drink it."
When Lu Xiaofeng heard Hua Manlou's name, he got up in a daze, took the bowl of water and drank it down, then continued to lie down, sleeping unconsciously.
After finishing all this, he returned to his room with a smile on his face, waiting for the news of success.
Not long after, a pigeon flew in. Jin Jiuling smiled triumphantly, untied the bamboo tube, and let the pigeon go.
He took a deep breath and slammed on Lin Heng's door in panic: "Brother Lin, brother Lin, come out quickly, something happened to Huamanlou!"
Lin Heng was startled when he heard that something had happened to Huamanlou, and quickly opened the door: "What's going on?"
Jin Jiuling handed him the note in his hand: "It's Jiang Qingxia! She tricked Huamanlou into going to Qixia Nunnery by falsely spreading Jiang Chongwei's news. In order to avenge Lu Xiaofeng's previous exposure of her, she plotted against Huamanlou. If it wasn't for my caution , and sent brothers to watch Qixia Temple, Hua Manlou will be killed by her without anyone noticing."
Lin Heng finished the note and glanced at it. It was a letter sent to Jin Jiuling by the policeman of Six Doors, which probably explained the assassination of Huamanlou.
He suddenly became anxious: "Why is this happening? How is Huamanlou doing now?"
Jin Jiuling said: "He is very poisonous, I sent him to the Snake King. He has the best black doctor in the capital and is best at poison. He will be fine."
Lin Heng nodded, and said anxiously, "Let's go to the Snake King now."
After saying that, he dodged, turned into a black shadow, and ran towards the Snake King at full speed.
Jin Jiuling couldn't catch up with him, but he was not in a hurry, and went straight to the small building of the Snake King.
When Lin Heng arrived in front of the small building, he broke in through the window without going through the door, startling the Snake King.
After seeing clearly that it was him, he stopped the brothers at the bottom and told them to go down, and said to Lin Heng with a sad face: "Brother Lin, are you here? Where is Lu Xiaofeng? Huamanlou is... I'm afraid it's..."
Lin Heng saw Hua Manlou lying unconscious on the bed at a glance, walked up to him in a few steps, and said anxiously: "What's going on? What kind of poison is it? Where's the doctor? Where's your black doctor?!"
The Snake King's face became even paler, and grief flashed in his eyes: "Kaixin Powder. The doctor has seen it, the poison has entered the lungs, there is no cure, he can't last half an hour."
At this time Jin Jiuling had also arrived, he stepped forward and patted Lin Heng on the shoulder, and said in a sad voice: "Brother Lin, don't be like this, calm down, let's think of a way."
Lin Heng woke up suddenly: "Yes, there is another way."
He untied the Bailing wrapped around his wrist, stuffed it into Huamanlou's chest, and stared at Huamanlou's face worriedly and expectantly: "Qitong, can you hear me? Hold on a little longer, hold on a little longer alright."
He regards Huamanlou as his best friend and never wants anything to happen to him.
