When Xiao Fengling woke up, it was just dawn, and the fire beside him had been extinguished because the branches had not been added in time, leaving only black ash on the ground, the rain outside had stopped, only the sound of water dripping from the leaves was heard occasionally.He curled up coldly and shook his head, and with such a movement, Han Tiexin beside him woke up, his eyes looked around the cave with a little confusion, and finally fell on Xiao Fengling.

"Are you feeling better?"

The two actually said these words at the same time.Han Tiexin smiled gently, and Xiao Fengling could see the upward lines at the corners of his eyes.

"I'm better. You..."

"I'm fine at all!"

It seemed that Xiao Fengling had long been accustomed to Xiao Fengling's flamboyant coldness, so much so that his expression did not change at all after he said this sentence, as if he had already guessed such an answer.

"The rain stopped, let's go back." Han Tiexin suggested.

Xiao Fengling nodded, the two got up and walked out at the same time, when Han Tiexin reached the entrance of the cave, Han Tiexin suddenly raised his hand, and a drop of rainwater dripping from the stone wall at the entrance of the cave to Xiao Fengling's shoulders splashed on his sleeve.

"you……"

"The rain in the forest is not clean, if it stains your clothes, you don't have to take them off."

"Oh……"

Then the two were silent all the way.Back at Zhujian Villa, the two wanted to sneak back to the room quietly as if nothing had happened, but Han Tiexin was frustrated to find that the key to his room was nowhere to be found.

"Are you sure you have it with you?" Xiao Fengling asked.

"It must be with me. When I came out, I locked the door and put it on my body." Han Tiexin replied affirmatively, "Could it be that he fell into the woods?"

"Very likely." Xiao Fengling nodded, thinking that her room was unlocked, so she said, "Come to my room first."

"it is good."

The two entered the room, but Xiao Fengling refused to sit down. His clothes were wet and sticking to his body, which made him feel very uncomfortable. He wanted to take a bath, but if he went to fetch hot water at this time, it would disturb others. , Han Tiexin suddenly said: "There is a living spring on our way back, where can we go to wash the mud all over our bodies."

When Xiao Fengling heard that she could take a bath, she nodded hurriedly, took two sets of clothes from the closet, and followed Han Tiexin to find the living spring.

Perhaps it was a skill honed in the icy and snowy valley, Han Tiexin had a good track record and an excellent sense of direction, and the two of them arrived at the living spring he mentioned almost without detours.Han Tiexin put his hand into the spring water to feel it, and said with a smile, "This water is very comfortable."

After hearing this, Xiao Fengling stretched her hand into the water.Sure enough, the spring water was not cold, even slightly warmer than the temperature of the hand.Han Tiexin had already taken off/naked his clothes and got into the water, shouting: "Come down quickly, I won't lie to you, it's really comfortable."

Xiao Fengling fully stretched her body in the spring water, feeling the indescribable comfort of being surrounded by trickling streams.But this physical comfort didn't slow down the speed of his brain.

"When it's completely dawn, we'll go find Tang Xiao at the address Qigui said." Xiao Fengling's tone was firm, without any intention of discussing or asking, as if giving orders to his subordinates.Han Tiexin wasn't annoyed when he heard it, he just closed his eyes and thought for a while, then asked an unrelated question: "Is there really a gold mine on Qingping Mountain?"

"Of course not, that's just my nonsense." Xiao Fengling replied, and then there was a sarcastic smile on the corner of her mouth, "What? Could it be that you also want to share a pot of gold?"

Han Tiexin ignored Xiao Fengling's sarcasm, and continued: "According to what the seven ghosts said, Tang Xiao's martial arts were not recovered after being abolished by you, so he is absolutely incapable of killing Nangong Lian and others. Then the real murderer will not be able to recover." Just like the Heavenly Wolf and Seven Ghosts, they are the killers he invited."

"Very likely." Xiao Fengling faded away the sarcasm on her face, and responded seriously, "What do you want to say?"

Han Tiexin pointed to support his wet head with his left hand, which was only free to move, and said, "I was wondering... where did Tang Xiao get so much money to hire an assassin."

As soon as this question was asked, Xiao Fengling was taken aback, Han Tiexin was right, Tang Xiao was just a quack, where did he get so much money, the remuneration of the Heavenly Wolf and Seven Ghosts was already a lot of money, he could kill Nangong Lian and others Killer pay is bound to be higher.

"You mean that the person who united with Tang Xiao is a rich master?" Xiao Fengling asked.

"If you talk about a lot of money, the first thing that comes to mind is the people in the imperial court. As the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and receiving official salaries on time, is naturally much richer than a gangster who licks blood at the edge of a knife to beg for life. But although there are no swords, swords or shadows in the officialdom, there are dark tides and turbulent tides, and the life of intrigue is precarious every day, and the money earned from various sources is hard money in the end." Han Tiexin said, "Have you ever offended court officials? "

"Never." Xiao Fengling blurted out without thinking, "I have never had any contact with people in the court."

"Since this is the case, those officials who are more cunning than foxes will naturally not pay you to kill you with their hard-earned money." Han Tiexin said, "It seems that those who can afford such a price in the Jianghu seem to be able to do it with one hand. I can count them."

Xiao Fengling's eyes flickered for a moment, and said, "Let's listen."

Han Tiexin said: "First of all, the dead Nangong Lian is considered one. There is no other family in the world who can truly create such a great fortune by relying on the inheritance of martial arts, except for the Nangong family."

"Because of this, it is honored as the No. [-] martial arts family in Jianghu." Xiao Fengling replied.

"The grandma of the God of Wealth in the Temple of the God of Wealth can also be counted as one of them. The treasurer of hundreds of God of Wealth gambling shops in the north and south of the river, how much money she has in her hands is beyond our imagination." Han Tiexin said, "Of course, this Zhujian Villa also For one thing, in Jianghu, almost no one will be stingy with money when choosing weapons."

"You still missed one place." Xiao Fengling deliberately slowed down her speech, and said word by word, "Yufenglou, which sells all kinds of news on the rivers and lakes."

"Yes, yes, Yufeng Tower is also considered one." Han Tiexin patted his head and said.

Xiao Fengling slowly approached Han Tiexin, stared into his eyes, and asked with a half-smile: "Have you heard of Yufeng Tower?"

Han Tiexin replied: "I heard someone mention it by chance when I was in Qilin Villa."

"Oh? Did you know that it is said that this organization specializes in collecting news from all corners of the world, and then sells those news to people in the world to make profits from it."

"That's it...hehe, it's a good thing they can come up with such a way to make money."

Xiao Fengling continued: "Although Yufenglou can find out many unknown things, it itself is very mysterious. Until now, where the main altar of Yufenglou is is still a mystery. Of course, there is also its The landlord who has never shown up is still indisputable."

Han Tiexin could clearly feel that Xiao Fengling's eyes looked back and forth dozens of times when he mentioned the owner of Yufenglou, and his heart tightened, and he still pretended to be ignorant and asked on the surface: "Has anyone seen this?" Have you ever been to the landlord of Yufeng Building?"

"No, that person never walks on the rivers and lakes." Xiao Fengling added immediately after finishing speaking, "or that person never walks on the rivers and lakes as the owner of Yufeng Tower."
