Peach Blossom Button

As Lanyue left in a hurry, a new mystery was revealed in front of Tao Mo again.

So far, too many unexplainable problems have accumulated.Whether it's Bai Wangyan's identity and whereabouts, Li Miaomiao's robbed items, and the real intention of the third prince to imprison Tao Mo... they are all puzzling.

"But if we explore from the place at that time, where should we start?"

"It would be great if Mr. Bai was here."

Frowning tightly, Tantai Ying folded her arms and raised her head, staring straight at the beam.He was here to deal with the sword-making materials. Other than that, his itinerary plan was to have a good time in the imperial capital. In the end, he rescued a thief by accident and learned about Tao Mo. As one of Tao Shaoxia's few friends, the chivalrous Master Tantai Shaogu naturally wouldn't let his friend go.

It would be nice if Bai Wangyan was here.Hearing this sentence again, Tao Mo's heart was pierced again, why didn't he want that person by his side?But... there is nothing I can do.

But if you think about it, maybe that person last night just looked like Bai Wangyan.The night is confusing, that person is obviously a woman, besides, Bai Wangyan has no martial arts, that person's swordsmanship is not top-notch, but his internal strength can be ranked among the best.

How could a frail scholar like Bai Wangyan be a top-notch assassin who is proficient in disguise and possesses profound inner strength?Maybe Bai Wangyan just went out for a while... Maybe he will come back after a while.

Tao Mo thought about it, and suddenly convinced himself again. He felt a little relieved, and even started to secretly scold him for his suspicion.If other people encounter this matter, at most they will think that it looks like Bai Wangyan, and they will definitely not believe that it is their own.

"You..." The sloppy Taoist stretched out his hand and scratched his back, and said with a sneer, "Ha, brother Tao can't live without that surname Bai, so why does Master Shaogu rely on him so much? If it's really that Something happened to the surnamed Bai, is it possible that he can't get everything done?"

Although the words are rough, they are really true.Although Tan Taiying was a little displeased, he finally made a decision. He turned to Tao Mo, frowned, and repeated every word: "Brother Tao, let's go to the place at that time to investigate."

Tao Mo nodded: "Okay."

The imperial capital in the daytime is bustling and bustling.The willows take out new buds and sway slightly in the warm wind, even the reflection in the water is full of spring.By the river, big pear blossoms are in full bloom. From a distance, they look like white snow in the spring breeze, while magnolias have already bloomed, and their fat petals are scattered all over the ground.

The brick-red city wall stands majestically under the clear sky, and at this time, the patrolling silver armored guards are changing shifts.Looking across the Yuhuan River surrounding the palace, Tao Mo looked at the silver-armored guards holding weapons, and suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Seeing that the black-clothed swordsman stopped walking forward, Tantai Ying couldn't help feeling a little strange, and looked in his direction.After seeing the Silver Armored Guards standing under the city wall, he smiled knowingly: "The Silver Armored Guards are a special army guarding the imperial capital, and all of them are elite. Brother Tao should have seen it when he entered the city."

Tao Mo stared at the silver-armored guard standing guard, showing a puzzled expression: "Since we are guarding the imperial capital, why did last night..."

"Last night?" The crazy Taoist who wobbled behind finally opened his mouth. At this time, he had a freshly picked pear blossom in his hair. Coupled with his suddenly serious expression, he looked ridiculous and ridiculous.

Tao Mo just shook his head.

Last night, when he heard Li Miaomiao say that he was going to the palace to "do big things", he felt uneasy, so he rushed to the vicinity of the imperial city and searched all the way around the Yuhuan River. There was the sound of fighting.Before that, everything around the imperial city was completely silent, and there was no one else except him.

He didn't answer, just sullenly, and walked towards the alley he passed by last night.

"Hey, Brother Tao," seeing his strange look, Tantai Ying hurriedly ran after him, and asked anxiously, "Could it be... what did you think of?"

Lou Yueming followed the two of them slowly, fiddling with the little flowers stuck in his hair, he seemed to be in a good mood, and started humming a little tune to himself, his eyes moved nimbly along the way.

In the imperial capital, except for the Qinglong Baihu Suzaku Xuanwu Sishen Street and the East and West Markets, the rest of the streets are mostly made up of winding alleys.These deep alleys are like a maze, and it is easy to get lost.It was one of the alleys that Tao Mo took the two of them. Even in the daytime, they were quiet as if they had fallen asleep.

Tao Mo walked quickly in the alley, his eyes scanning the surroundings, but his face became more and more gloomy, until he reached the end of the alley, he stopped abruptly, and reached out to touch the seemingly ordinary brick wall.

Lou Yueming glanced at the neatly arranged sundries behind him, and asked casually, "Did you go wrong?"

It's not like there was a fight just last night, it's as quiet as a bowl of water.

No bloodstains, sword marks, nothing at all.

Stretching out his hand to touch the brick wall without any traces, Tao Mo was also a little suspicious. At this moment, Tan Taiying walked in front of the brick wall, touched the wall casually with his hand, and his expression suddenly changed.

"It's the marks made by fingernails." Master Swordsman Shaogu frowned and said, "It's very messy, and here..." He bent down, carefully observed the corner of the wall, stretched out his hand to gesture, and pondered for a while: "It's the sleeve arrow. "

There was a chaotic noise from behind, Lou Yueming kicked away the neat pile of sundries, rummaging around as if digging some treasure, suddenly, he straightened up, holding a piece of paper in his hand. The tiny thing said to the two: "Hey, there is another one!"

Tan Taiying hurried over, took the slender silver blade in the dirty hand of the mad Taoist priest, examined it carefully, and her brows became tighter and tighter: "Oh no, why are you from Shuangyue Pavilion!"

"Shuangyue Pavilion?" Tao Mo also knew something about this killer organization, so he hurried to Tantai Ying's side to take a look, and saw a faint pattern engraved on the slender silver blade, although the pattern was somewhat unclear , but it feels slightly familiar.He just felt his heart thump, and started to jump up crazily.

But Tan Taiying didn't notice the waves under his expressionless face, pinched the silver needle, and said in a very sure tone: "This is a hidden weapon that the killer of Shuangyue Pavilion will use. Judging from the traces, this A person with profound internal strength must be a master in the cabinet."

"Brother Tao said before, that woman seems to use a qin and a sword?" Lou Yueming kicked the debris at her feet and laughed: "Ha, I don't know who is a master of swords in this world? But I have never heard of it." Said that there is such a powerful female killer!"

This sword idiot is all about the sword, if he is a master with a sword in the rivers and lakes, he will never miss his eyes.

Immediately afterwards, Jian Chi laughed more flamboyantly: "But in the end, this person's swordsmanship will never be better than Brother Tao! If he is really a master of swords, Pindao will know his name, even if she is in the deep mountains and old forests. , and will definitely catch her out for a competition! So..." He cast his eyes in disarray, staring at Tao Mo: "Brother Tao said he let her run away, is there something hidden?"

Being stared at by those transparent eyes made him startled, Tao Mo even put away all his expressions because of being too surprised, so it seemed that his expression was normal.

"That's right, Brother Tao," Tantai Ying rubbed his chin and guessed, "What kind of trick did that killer do?"

"I think this fact is too strange," Lou Yueming said slowly while watching Tao Mo's reaction, "Brother Tao, in the Jianghu, you are the only one who has won the legend of 'Wuxin Sword Lord' Alone, in terms of swordsmanship, who can beat you?"

The mad Taoist slowly approached Tao Mo, but he changed his tone and sighed: "Brother Tao, we both regard you as a brother, if there is any difficulty, just tell us, you have lied to us. what!"

When Tao Mo saw Lou Yueming for the first time, he had never noticed that he had such a terrifying insight, which could be compared to Bai Wangyan, but this person's temperament was straightforward compared to Bai Wangyan.

"This..." After being pressed by Lou Yueming, Tao Mo found it even more difficult to speak.

Tantai Ying saw that this had entered a stalemate, and hurriedly said: "The corridor leader! I'm afraid Brother Tao has something hard to say, so I'd better stop asking..."

"No!" Lou Yueming said urgently, "Brother Tao, if you tell me, I will do my best to help you! If you can't help me with this little help, what kind of brother are you!"

Hearing his words, Tao Mo was astonished.How can this mad Taoist place so much emphasis on friendship? It is completely different from the "need to be careful" mentioned by Bai Wangyan. I thought he was just an opponent with a slightly better relationship, but it turned out to be...

"Oh," Tan Taiying shook her head helplessly, "Brother Tao, I won't force this, if there is any difficulty, just say it."

Being in a foreign land, it is a pleasure to meet friends in twos and threes.In a foreign land, it is a blessing in life to be helped by brothers.

Since his friend insisted so much, Tao Mo had no choice but to relax, but because of the doubts and suspicions in his heart, he still avoided the important thing after all: "Is the Shuangyue Pavilion killer proficient in disguise? Who decided the time for the 'Battle of Tianxintai' last night?" ?”
