Chapter 40 Chasing the Wind and Chasing the Clouds

Lang Ling never imagined that the cocklebur disappeared without a trace for several months.

...It can't be said that there is no trace.

After all, the spies scattered all over the Tingfeng Pavilion are still passing news to the Pavilion Master from time to time—today, a trace of a "ghost bat" is suspected to be found in Pingcao Town, and tomorrow a wealthy businessman in Zisui City will die. A bat-shaped dart was found in the back room, and the "ghost bat" sneaked into the Wuyue Gate to assassinate the owner of the gate the day after tomorrow... The piles of bits and pieces of information are enough to form a small mountain on Lang Ling's table.

But he never saw the cocklebur again.

In order to find Xanthium, he even revealed the itinerary on purpose, but that guy seemed to avoid him on purpose, and never ran into him.He went to the west, and that guy was active in the east; when he went to the east, that guy disappeared again, and after a while, he reported his trace from the west again.The most surprising thing is that once, before he went, he got clues about the guy's haunts. When he got there, there was no movement, so he thought he had left. Unexpectedly, as soon as he left, a spy reported "ghost bat" Another man was killed in that city.

The place where the accident happened was only one street away from the branch where Lang Ling stayed.That is to say, even though they are in the same city and area, Xanthium still refuses to show up in Tingfeng Pavilion. For this reason, he even hesitates to postpone the completion date of the mission, even if he gives up the best chance of assassination. hit him.

Lang Ling couldn't understand why.

He managed to make the beautiful beast let down a little bit of vigilance, making it believe that warmth is harmless, and now he is waiting for it to approach slowly, no matter how slow it is, he can accept it, but the guy suddenly turned around and ran away as if frightened The most depressing thing is that he still doesn't know what scares it.

How annoying.

... He would not know that it was the goodwill brought by the warmth that made Cocklebur feel the shadow of danger, so in order not to get hurt, he ran away one step ahead.

As soon as he made up his mind, the person he admired ran away without a trace, and even deliberately avoided himself, which couldn't help but make people irritated.It's a pity that Langling's game has reached a critical period. Nearly one-third of Tingfeng Pavilion's manpower has been lent to Liujiazhuang and other allies. Some people are needed to fuel the flames, and sects such as the Songbian faction also need someone to monitor, and there is no extra manpower to find the specific whereabouts of the "Ghost Bat".

There are a lot of things to do, and there is no cocklebur to adjust his mood. The final result is that Langling becomes more and more irritable. Even if the news is all good news, everything is developing according to his plan, and the gloom between his brows has not disappeared. , It made those who served him closely for a long time tremble, for fear of offending him.

So much so that when Chi Sui came in through the window, he was taken aback by him: "What's the matter, so much resentment? Those who didn't know thought you were abandoned by someone, and you will become a ghost in the next second !"

"Abandoning...heh." Lang Ling snorted coldly with no clear meaning, and swept his dark eyes over, and finally managed to restrain his emotions, "I've been suffering from a severe headache recently, what's the matter, just try to keep it as short as possible."

"I think you're just idle. It's enough to kill a few small sects. You want to bring down those difficult guys and add so much workload to yourself. If you don't have a headache, who will have a headache?" Chi Sui Rolling his eyes, he began to take things out of the small medicine box he carried with him, "I knew you would suffer if I didn't come, here, this external application can be used whenever it hurts, put it on the temple, and this medicine can be taken internally. once a day……"

Looking at the extremely ugly plaster, Lang Ling twitched the corners of her mouth, and reluctantly put on a piece: "Thank you."

"Thank you so much, don't bother me anymore, okay?" Chi Sui rolled his eyes even bigger, grabbed a handful of incense from the medicine box angrily, and threw it on Langling's table, "You count, Just for this handful of incense, how many times have I run for you? What's "rosin after snow", what's "to be free, light, and lonely"...Listen, does this sound like a human language! If I hadn't been familiar with that perfumer, see if he would beat me out!"

Langling picked up the incense and smelled it, then shook her head and said, "Although it's still not right, but... thank you very much."

"That's not right!" Chi Sui almost didn't come up in a breath, and almost knelt down to him, "Ancestor, can I call you ancestor! This is the fifth time! What kind of fairy masterpiece do you always want? Can you make things difficult for us mere mortals?"

Lang Ling frowned.He felt that the fragrance of cocklebur was not too difficult to match, but the few times Chi Sui brought him, either the rosin was too strong and gave him a headache, or there was a disgusting earthy smell. How does the perfumer adjust it? He always makes some smells that give him a headache.

Thinking like this, he couldn't help thinking of cocklebur, the light fragrance of that person, and the countless nights that person spent in his arms.

He thought of Xanthium avoiding him again, feeling depressed, and didn't really want to care about the incense, slowly rubbed his temples, took out a piece of paper and handed it to Chi Sui: "This is the next step of the plan. Do me a little favor, take a look, if it doesn’t work, I’ll change it.”

Chi Sui took the paper, but his eyes were on a piece of rice paper brought out from the corner.He blinked and pointed curiously: "What is this? It doesn't look the same as those scrolls you keep in mind."

Langling also couldn't remember what she had put in, but seeing that it wasn't classified information, she took it out casually, unfolded it and said, "I've been busy recently, so I can't remember, but it shouldn't be important. s things……"

Before he finished speaking, he was stunned, and rolled it up again calmly, trying not to let Chi Sui see it: "It's really not something important, it's nothing to see."

However, Chi Sui's eyes were sharp, and he saw some marks on the back of the paper: "It's a painting! What is that painting, it seems to be a person?"

"No, you read it wrong." Lang Ling didn't change his expression, he took the most airtight box and put the paper in it, "It's nothing."

Chi Sui looked at him suspiciously, looked left and right, and found that there was an inconspicuous blush on the base of Lang Ling's ear.He realized something in an instant, his eyes became meaningful, and he said kindly: "So that's the case, maybe I was wrong."

He looked down at the paper again, raised his hand and threw it into the candlestick: "It's no problem, poisoning or something, it's a piece of cake."

Langling knew his strength, but out of concern for his friend, he couldn't help but say: "Be careful in everything and be safe."

"Don't worry, you really look down on me." Chi Sui replied lazily, squinting his eyes and smiling like a fox, "I think you still have something to do, so I won't bother you, so I'm leaving."

Lang Ling met his seeing through eyes, coughed lightly uncomfortably, and began to drive away the guests: "Let's go quickly, let's go, don't come to harm me again."

Chi Sui raised his eyebrows high, but he didn't say anything after all, he was ready to turn over while holding the window.

At this time, Langling called him again: "Also, please tell the perfumer again, less pine and earthy smell, and it's better to have the smell of first snow."

"Come again?!" Chi Sui was about to explode, and Lang Ling, who knew his temperament well, said calmly, "I have a thousand-year-old jade bone ginseng in my private treasury..."

Chi Sui changed his face faster than turning the pages of a book, and immediately smiled again: "Don't worry, it's just running errands to pass on a message, and it must have been passed on to you."

He jumped out of the window, shouted "Don't renege on your debt", jumped downstairs and disappeared.

Langling then poured the scroll out of the iron box, spread it on the table, and unfolded it bit by bit.

Chi Sui's eyes are really sharp, this is indeed a painting, and the painting is indeed a person.

This is the cocklebur painted by Lang Ling herself.

The clothes are half-faded, the face is flushed, and the cockleburs are still tied with chains on the ankles.

In all fairness, Langling's painting skills are pretty good, and she always uses the best paints and paints. This one is even painted with color, half concealed, making the person in the painting more attractive and delicious, which makes people want to pounce on it to make fun of it. It made him cry, looking like a erotic picture.

Lang Ling remembered.This was the time he brushed past Xan'er, and it was almost certain that Xan'er was hiding from him.

At that time, he was just a little dazed, thinking that if he couldn't see it, it would be good to draw a picture of cocklebur, but when he came back to his senses, the ink for such a thing was already dry.

At that time, he stared at such a painting for a long time, feeling a little ashamed, but also reluctant to destroy it, just in time for an important matter to be decided by him, so he casually stuffed it into the debris pile.Later, he also searched for it once or twice, but there were too many scrolls piled up in the debris pile, so he couldn't find it, so he forgot about it.

Unexpectedly, he unexpectedly appeared in front of him again today, and almost asked Chi Sui to look at it.

It's almost like a little bat that hates people's teeth itching and can't bear to beat and scold.

Langling looked at the painting for a long time, the more she looked at it, the darker her eyes became.It wasn't until I felt that I couldn't hold back the fire any longer, so I scrolled the scroll with some reluctance, solemnly took an iron box usually used to hold confidential information, sealed it, and knocked it on the wall. Open a hidden compartment and put the box in it.

He watched the secret compartment slowly close, as if he had made up his mind, he took out a map from the drawer, spread it on the table and read it quietly.The map is densely packed with markings, some are red and some are blue, some are concentrated and some are scattered, some are dotted and some are connected in lines, showing all kinds of information that only Lang Ling can understand.

Langling looked at it for a while, and pointed to slide over some new marking points.He didn't know what rules he followed, he slid left and right, his fingertips slid over an unknown distance on the map, and finally stopped at a certain place, and tapped lightly.

It says - Xialang Villa.

The author has something to say: This chapter cocklebur lives in various news from Tingfeng Pavilion

Unexpectedly, Lang Ling is still a sullen [pointing]
