Food Fairy Lord

Chapter 284 Prison Fight

Bixiao Pavilion is not the most important place in the Huansi Building. "Mr. Zhang" may have just gone there temporarily. Last night, Li Mingqing easily entered the backyard and avoided the guards who were not from the Huansi Building.

Thinking about this, Pei Ye arrived outside Changsun Courtyard again.

The eldest grandson is from the Yi family. He and Yi Nandai have just completed the delivery of Shuiyang Yuke. If Qi Yun has made any contribution to the Yi family's plans in the past few decades, then the eldest grandson has He must be holding some shady strings.

For example, the foreign pawn who came to Bowang among retail investors.

At the time when Qi Yun was handed over to Huansilou, Changsun was leaving the position of chief steward, so the person who came to take over must be someone close to Huansilou himself.

Then by following the eldest grandson, you can find Qi Yun's new chief steward, and by following this chief steward, you can find the "Mr. Zhang" and the secret pavilion of Huansi Tower in Xiangzhou City.

Pei Ye sat down at the stall across the street, put his sword on the table, and ordered a bowl of hot noodles.

The heat, the smell of sweat, the noise, and the steaming white steam made Pei Ye feel like he had returned to Fenghuai's tavern.

Unlike Li Mingqing, who was busy running around at the same time, he actually sat here for a long time, chatting with the man at the next table about everything from the thickness of noodles to the replacement of the Tang Dynasty. The sky turned dim, and the house diagonally opposite Still no one came in or out.

The man sitting next to him had his legs crossed on the stool. He had an empty bowl that had already cooled down in front of him. He had added noodle soup twice and had already finished his meal: "Brother, you must have traveled north and south a lot, but... I think it's the same thing everywhere - if you have power, then let them get all the money you want; if you don't have money or power, you'll have to work hard to earn ten bucks, and you'll have to spit out five more! "

"That's true!"

"Right!" The man glanced at the closed door diagonally opposite and lowered his voice, "Just say that yard over there, do you know whose it belongs to?"

"who?"

"Qi Yun is in charge, eldest son, Sun Xiao! Everything that goes in and out of Qi Yun Xiangzhou is decided by others!" The man took the chopsticks and then remembered that the bowl was empty, so he only lowered his voice, "A batch of goods arrived two days ago. It was placed in the innermost cabin, and everyone could tell that it was precious. But with just one word, he stopped entering the warehouse, put it on the carriage, and rushed back to his home—who among the ninety-nine here dared to say anything?"

Pei Ye nodded, thinking that this was indeed not his personal gain, but the Shuiyang Yuke that the Yi family wanted.

The man glanced away, then came back and said, "You don't know, this is just 'in', there are also 'out's - last month's goods are the biggest."

Pei Ye was startled for a moment: "Oh? I'll let you know?"

"We don't know what it is at all." The man looked at him, "Anyway, it was bought with real money and put in a big box - I'm not bragging, brother, I estimate that box is worth several thousand dollars Twelve! The people who helped in Dongcheng said that the Chamber of Commerce sold several Qiyun Towers in the past few months, and the money they got was used for this transaction - guess what happened? "

"What's wrong?"

"Others really don't know about this. It happened to be that in the middle of the night, my brothers were staying at the dock to clean up. When the ship arrived, they didn't want us to move it, and it was too expensive - they just brought some servants themselves, and that night Just moved away.”

".Where to move?"

"Who knows, I'm not allowed to ask." The man rolled his eyes, but after hesitating for a while, he still whispered, "Later, the gossip spread that the head of the family in Yin Yang died, and this thing was taken to be buried with him."

"."

"Isn't that right? If you want to buy funeral objects, you should pay for them yourself. Qi Yunding mostly takes care of the arrangements. How can there be any reason for the chamber of commerce to sell off its own properties for funerals?" The man frowned, "The money from the sales of those buildings We have no way of guessing whose hands it belongs to."

Pei Ye nodded slowly, but smiled and sighed: "Carnivores are planning this kind of thing, so we don't have to worry about it, we can just live our own lives."

"That's true! But what does 'meat-eaters seek it' mean?"

"This is what is said in "Zuo Zhuan". It means that if you let those who eat meat take care of important national affairs."

"Hmm! That makes sense - what's 'turn left'?"

"A book about the past."

"Hmm! If you read a lot, you will be educated!" The man gave a thumbs up in admiration.

"Haha."

"Hey, little brother, there is a 'turn left', but what about a 'turn right'?"

"."

"Ah."

"Maybe. Maybe there is. If there is a left, then there should be a right."

"That's right! I think it's the same!" The man nodded heavily.

Pei Ye cupped his fists and smiled, looking around: "I see everyone has been resting here all afternoon, don't you have to go to work today?"

"There are very few cargoes coming from the ship these days." The man said, "This is a job where you just follow the ship, and you will die from exhaustion one day and die idle the other day."

Pei Ye laughed, stood up with his sword, and put the bamboo hat from the theater on his head: "Brothers, please continue to rest, I have to go to work."

The man's eyes widened: "Hey! What does little brother do?"

"It's a small job." Pei Ye took out five boards and handed them to the stall owner. He tilted his head and smiled, "Brother, your mouth is dry after talking like this. I'll treat you to two more bowls of noodles."

"Arrogant!"

Pei Ye turned her head with a smile, walked out of the stall, and looked forward.

The closed door finally opened, and a carriage came out, slowly heading east.

If there is a handover, there must be a meeting.

----

At dusk, the crowds on the street gradually thickened, and the carriage did not move very quickly. Pei Ye stayed far away, all the way to Dongcheng.

After passing the most crowded section of the road, the crowd here gradually became thinner again, and the houses also had tall doors and large eaves. The carriage turned three alleys, getting deeper and deeper, and finally stopped in front of a courtyard at the end.

Pei Ye stood at the entrance of the alley, watching from a distance.

The door was closed tightly, with the little lion in front. It was more delicate than grand. The carriage stopped for a while, and a man in a silk shirt got out of the carriage. He was thin and over forty years old. He was the eldest grandson in charge as Ji Yun said.

He stepped forward and knocked on the door. The groom rushed the car to the side door, covering the man's figure. When he was revealed again, the man was gone, and only two doors were slowly closing.

Pei Ye watched for a while, but a servant who splashed water came out of a nearby yard. He stared at the young man holding a sword and wearing a hat: "Are you looking for someone?"

Pei Ye was startled for a moment, clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Brother, please tell me, the yard in the alley was put up for sale a few days ago. My owner was quite interested in it. I took a look today and found out that there is a new owner?"

The servant looked at him strangely: "The six yards in this alley belong to my master, and the one at the end is indeed sold. Who is your master? Can you talk to our master at that time?"

"Oh, maybe I haven't had time to say anything yet - when was it sold?"

"In the past half month, if your family wants it, the second one from the left is also ready to be sold."

"Okay, then I'll go back and report - I wonder who the buyer of this house is?"

"Then I don't know, he seems to be from out of town. If you want to visit, he is at home now."

".Oh." That's right.

Pei Ye smiled, said goodbye to this person, turned around and pressed the edge of the hat, and strode towards the yard.

Just be at home.

----

Pei Ye pushed the courtyard door open.

The clean and somewhat empty courtyard is paved with stone slabs, with four or five flower trees planted, and at the end is a two-story building.

There was no one in the courtyard, and it was completely quiet. Even though he had just opened the door without concealment, no one showed up to check. Pei Ye walked slowly towards the small building.

When he came to the building, Pei Ye stood quietly for a while, and it was also silent inside.

There was no conversation, no changing of glasses, it was like an empty building, and everyone who had just opened the door and entered seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

Pei Ye pushed open the door.

There was a "squeak" in the quiet air, and the slanting sunset shone in from behind.

The building was also empty.

The tables and chairs are neat and the floor is clean. It doesn’t look like it’s occupied, but it looks like it’s still for sale. There is no separation between the first and second floors, and there is little furniture, so it looks high and spacious. Standing on the first floor, you can see the arched beams on the roof when you look up.

Pei Ye looked up and down and walked slowly in. There were only floating dust and the echo of his footsteps in the building. He walked straight in and still no one came out to check.

Then he suddenly paused and looked up slowly.

There are fifteen doors and windows on the first and second floors. Except for the one he came in, all others are tightly closed. Not only are they bolted, but there are also iron pendants hanging on them, which are locks.

Pei Ye stood in the middle of the building, motionless.

There was a sound of approaching footsteps in the courtyard.

Pei Ye turned around, and the servant who had just been asking questions in the alley came in from the courtyard, looked at him expressionlessly, and turned around to gently close the door.

Then he turned around, and under Pei Ye's quiet gaze, he took out Han Liang's white blade with one hand and slowly raised it with the other.

A piece of drama was gently placed on his face.

At this moment, for a man like him, three lights flashed in the building at the same time.

An indifferent voice came down from the second floor: "Are you Pei Ye?"

Pei Ye looked up and saw that on the second floor, standing in the silk shirt that he had just entered, the man was slender and over forty years old. Everything was consistent with Ji Yun's description of Sun Xiao's appearance.

Except for that face.

He looked at Pei Ye and slowly put on the show: "Wear a hat and you dare to follow me. Do you think we can't find out who hung Kou Liyue on the flagpole last night?"

Pei Ye smiled: "This is the place -"

The sound of the white blade breaking Qi behind him suddenly sounded like the sound of a flute!

Pei Ye suddenly turned around, and a strange and indifferent scene occupied his entire field of vision. The young man stepped back, drawing the sword with his cross-arm, and the powerful sword with the air flow slammed into his half-unsheathed sword blade.

Wusheng is completely different from Di Fei and Xu Er. At the moment when the sparks burst out, the scene suddenly reversed in front of the eyes. The person who came was upside down in the sky. The long knife floated and folded, clanking and grazing the blade of Pei Ye. Cut straight to the neck.

Pei Ye immediately relaxed his strength and leaned forward like a leaning pole. The next moment, another sharp sword light passed by where the young man's upper body had just been.

The third cold blade slowed down for just a moment, and flew towards the ground silently, looking at the young man's almost exhausted posture after avoiding it again.

At this time, Pei Ye's sword was still unsheathed and his body was pressed to the ground. The two white blades on his head were already aimed at him with a chilling look. Even if he tried his best to avoid it, this round of attack was enough to cut a bright red blood flower on his body. .

On the second floor, in the hands of the thick-shirted man, a long sword of bright light has been slowly unsheathed, and will be replaced with a fatal sword in the next moment.

In the blink of an eye, it was already a death sentence of hanging.

However, Pei Ye didn't avoid it anymore.

He turned his head and looked straight at the third scene that came over.

He stretched out his hand and put his hand on the ground, causing a cloud of dust to spread out. The young man's body, which he had just dodged so lightly, was suddenly startled. Like a butterfly turning into an eagle, he ignored the two cold blades in the air. Before the sword was unsheathed, he had already hit the third scene.

The sword behind him failed and he changed his moves, followed closely like a poisonous snake. At this moment, the young man only had one move left.

On the front, a sharp and silent sword is as faint as a ghost, with thirteen completely different paths between the swords.

Even the veteran swordsman who founded the sect had difficulty distinguishing clearly, but the moment the young man came close, the white blade suddenly stopped, and the thirteen blades suddenly became one, and struck the young man's cross-arm scabbard with a clang. .

The visitor was startled. He twisted his wrist fiercely and was about to change his move. The young man who was already in front of him suddenly showed a childish smile.

He smiled and said softly: "Zhen Qi Technique: Immortal Fire."

The force of the knife in front of the sheath suddenly froze.

Even through the scene, the stagnant emotion seemed to still show through. At the same time, three eyes fell suddenly on the young man's back.

But there was no time for them to think about the reason. The hot and violent flames were like evil beasts tearing open the void and rushing out. The coldness of late autumn in the whole small building suddenly dissipated, and the fire flow was like slurry under the compression of the young man. , instantly submerged the entire body of the performer in front of him.

The next moment, the sword behind him was approaching again. Pei Ye did not look back or look, as if he had a blind eye behind him. He used the force of the sword of the person in front of him, stepped on the ground, swept his back diagonally, and avoided the long sword. Passed by the opera actor with a long sword.

The actor suddenly turned over, and the two of them left in opposite directions. In this short period of half a breath, they met face to face. The actor changed his moves very quickly and fiercely, and his sword suddenly stretched like a moon.

Pei Ye turned his wrist, and the half-edged scabbard turned like a flower. The actor's long sword made a clanging sound on the blade, and when it settled down, it struck the mountain feather sword grid.

Pei Ye let go.

At this moment, the young man was defenseless, and the bright autumn blade flowed out of the scabbard in front of him. The actor immediately raised his sword and changed his moves, quickly seizing this fatal opportunity.

But when he brought his wrist up, the young man had already grasped the hilt of the unsheathed sword.

The flowing sword force stroked his wrist. The fully charged long sword in the actor's hand was like a long river bursting its embankment. The dissipated strength was twisted in his arm. The long sword suddenly fell out of his hand and flew away. At this moment, In front of him is an empty door that can be slaughtered by others.

The exchange only lasted for a moment, and in the blink of an eye, the two were far away again. The young man dragged the Qiushui sword out, raised his hand to hold the bamboo hat on his head, and waved his arms in the last glance. With one throw, the round hat flew across half of the small building like a whistling wind, and cut into the person's neck.

The actor fell stiffly, but this scene was no longer in Pei Ye's eyes.

The young man who turned around and passed by held a long sword and stepped five steps on the high pillar that went straight to the roof of the building. In the midst of his clothes, he had already climbed up to the man in silk clothes on the second floor who was staring at the sword.

This is a more complicated scene. At this time, he has raised his head and stared coldly at the young man.

At the moment when Pei Ye was at the highest point in the sky, the man in silk clothes suddenly moved like a swift falcon, his figure was erratic and charming, and he seemed to be coming from all directions in an instant.

Pei Ye raised his left arm, and flames spurted out, drowning the afterimage on the left. The figure in the silk shirt solidified on the right, already in front of the young man.

A sword light was as fast as a thundering roar.

Pei Ye struggled to twist his body, and the sword cut a deep gash in his side. A wound caused two bodies to press forward, and the long sword in Pei Ye's hand, which had been fully charged, drew out a dazzling sword light.

The man in the silk shirt stared at the sword. The stunning and extremely fast sword light was still clear enough in his eyes, and the man's figure drifted away——

He froze for a moment.

What came towards him was not a sword light, but a cold bright moon.

At first it occupied his entire field of vision, as if a folded world was spread out in front of him, with the cold moon and ice feathers, the jade night and cold lake, everything covered with frost and snow, and in such a world, he was a senseless and unconscious creature in the middle of the lake. of falling geese.

Pei Ye passed by with his sword, and warm red blood burst out from his throat under the blade.

The young man stood still behind the man in the silk shirt who was slowly falling. He heard the sound of the window being smashed behind him. When he turned around, the first remaining scene was escaping like a frightened falcon.

Pei Ye withdrew his gaze, gently held a sword flower to shake off the blood, and Shan Yu quietly returned to her sheath.
