Tour the world of martial arts

Chapter 66 Tracking
Lu Xiaofeng froze in place for a long time before he had to leave.

He was stopped halfway.

But it was Jin Jiuling who invited him.

Someone brought Lu Xiaofeng to a small alley, at the end of the alley, there was a small red door.The door was ajar, and a man was standing at the door.

Seeing them coming, this person immediately came up to meet him, smiled at Lu Xiaofeng, and said, "This is right here, Mr. Lu, please come in."

Lu Xiaofeng rushed in, he just wanted to find Xue Bing quickly, he didn't care about anything else.

There were only two bungalows in the yard, and there were two people in the room, one was Jin Jiuling, and the other was a strange man.

Lu Xiaofeng asked rather disappointedly: "Where's Xue Bing?"

Jin Jiuling said: "Starting from today's Chen hour, the three thousand brothers under the Snake King have started looking for Xue Bing for you, and they are also looking for the murderer of the Snake King."

Their method of finding people is very effective, because their brothers have penetrated into every corner of the city, and it can almost be said to be a drag-and-drop investigation.Especially tea houses, taverns, inns, small shops, and even food stalls selling porridge and rice.Because these are the places where the people are mixed and the news is the most.

They started to inquire from these places, if there are any suspicious strangers recently.

Everyone has to eat and sleep.There was none in the inn, so they asked again if there were any vacant houses nearby that could be rented to strangers.

Three thousand heroes in the market, inquiring about one thing at the same time, of course they will soon find out.

In fact, as long as you really want to find it and use a lot of people, how can you not find a trace.

Jin Jiuling said: "At dusk today, they found out that there was something wrong with this house, and they immediately sent people here to inquire. At that time, they heard what seemed to be a woman's groan in this room, and those who came to inquire did not dare to act rashly I went back and found someone again, but there is no one here."

Although Lu Xiaofeng was still listening, his heart was already disturbed, and he could only trust Jin Jiuling's judgment.

Jin Jiuling concluded: "There are signs that a woman once lived here, she was proficient in disguise, but only wore red shoes.

Xue Bing was once imprisoned here. The Snake King's brother once heard a woman moaning in the room, so I guess that Miss Xue may have been injured.

The person who kidnapped her found that someone was investigating here and knew that her whereabouts had been discovered, so he took her away immediately.

This person wanted to take Xue Bing away temporarily, and he obviously left in a hurry, that's why these traces were left behind! "

Lu Xiaofeng asked: "When did she leave?"

Jin Jiuling said, "Probably before dark."

At that time Lu Xiaofeng was on the way, preparing to go to the West Garden for an appointment, and the "grandmother" selling sugar-fried chestnuts hadn't appeared yet.

She probably went to the West Garden after taking Xue Bing away.She is likely to rent this house.

Jin Jiuling took out a small red satin purse from his sleeve: "I found this from under the closet, take a look at what's inside?"

There was a pack of brand new embroidery needles in the purse!
The same embroidery needle used by the Embroidery Bandit.

Jin Jiuling said: "These embroidery needles are all made of refined steel. They are different from ordinary ones. I have compared them and they are exactly the same as the embroidery needles used by the Embroidery Thief."

"Is there any poison on it?"

"No."

Jin Jiuling said again: "The reason she kept those alive is that she wants those people to prove that she is not a woman, but a man with a big beard who can embroider, so as to mislead us."

Lu Xiaofeng said: "She has no need to kill them."

Jin Jiuling said: "Do you think she might be Jiang Qingxia?"

"No, it's absolutely impossible!" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Although Jiang Qingxia's martial arts are not weak, compared to hers, they are far behind!"

Jin Jiuling said: "Do you think Jiang Qingxia is her subordinate?"

Lu XiaoFeng nodded.

Jin Jiuling said: "Jiang Qingxia is also a celebrity in Jianghu, and she is very proud, how could she be willing to be controlled by her?"

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Because she is much better than Jiang Qingxia in everything, I have never seen a woman with such high martial arts, such fierce and cunning in my life!"

Jin Jiuling was shocked: "Have you seen her?"

Lu Xiaofeng smiled wryly: "Not only have I met her, but I almost died at her hands!"

Jin Jiuling said, "How did you meet her?"

Lu Xiaofeng said: "It was the clues found on the Snake King that led me to the West Garden to attend the appointment."

Jin Jiuling said: "Appointment? What kind of appointment is that?"

Lu Xiaofeng heaved a long sigh: "That is really a terrible date!"

Jin Jiuling asked, "Who is she?"

Lu Xiaofeng said: "I don't know, I only know that she is also wearing a pair of red shoes."

Jin Jiuling frowned, "What kind of person is she?"

Lu Xiaofeng said: "I don't know."

Jin Jiuling was even more surprised: "You have seen her, but you don't even know what kind of person she is?"

Lu Xiaofeng said: "You also said that she is a master of disguise. When she saw me, she dressed up as an old lady. I have confirmed that she was indeed the one who killed the Snake King, and she also kidnapped Xue Bing."

Jin Jiuling asked in a deep voice, "Are you sure she said that?"

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Yes, that's how she answered me."

Soon, news came that another suspicious house had been discovered.The two rushed over and found that it was very similar to this place.

Lu Xiaofeng was very disappointed, the two places were almost the same, there were no more clues here, so they made a trip in vain.

I don't want to, but I finally got something, I found a box in the stove.

Jin Jiuling opened the box, but was poisoned and passed out. Fortunately, he was not fatal.

But new clues were also discovered.

On the cover of the box, there are actually eight bells and tripods inscriptions: "Leave it to Ah Tu, and he will return."

What she was saying was to give something to Ah Tu, because Ah Tu was about to go back.

"Who is Ah Tu?"

This Ah Tu was surprisingly easy to find, he was a beggar who often begs in this alley.

Lu Xiaofeng arranged for them to seek medical treatment for Jin Jiuling to detoxify him, and he went to track down a man named Atu himself.

Unexpectedly, Lu Xiaofeng pursued Atu all day and all night without eating or drinking, fearing that he would lose him.

It wasn't until the evening of the next day that Ah Tu stopped and entered an exquisite courtyard.

Lu Xiaofeng guessed that this is probably the stronghold of Red Shoes, or even the old lair.

Ah Tu seemed to be very familiar with this place, so he went directly to the small building in the courtyard and climbed up.

There seemed to be no one upstairs. There was a table of exquisite wine and dishes in a private room. There were eight sets of bowls and chopsticks on the table. Ah Tu did not make any other movements after sitting down, as if he was waiting for someone.

Who is he waiting for, eight sets of bowls and chopsticks, is he waiting for the other seven people?Is there Mrs. Gongsun, the head of the red shoes?
Opposite the small building, there is a big ginkgo tree with luxuriant branches, facing the upstairs window.

Lu Xiaofeng hid in the tree, ready to wait for people to come and find out what happened to the red shoes.
