Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 42 Viper's True Face?

In the mountains, the night is deep, and the thick fog rises slowly, dissipating in an instant, and the narrow gates of ancient temples are looming in the fog.

A black figure rushed out of the fog like lightning and stopped in front of the temple gate.

This person was wearing a green robe and a mask. He was exactly the Viper.

"who?"

Suddenly, two men in black popped out of the darkness.

Viper said lightly, "It's me."

The two men in black retreated after hearing this.

After Viper walked into the temple gate, Jin Mulan was sitting cross-legged on a futon in the temple, thinking about something.

Viper walked up to Jin Mulan and said, "Liu Jin has been exposed."

"What? Liu Jin was exposed?"

Jin Mulan let out a scream and slumped on the futon.

Adder sighed: "I once said, you are playing with fire, but you don't listen to my advice!"

Jin Mulan tremblingly asked, "What did Liu Jindu say?"

Adder said, "I haven't spoken yet."

Jin Mulan breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."

Then Jin Mulan stood up slowly, took Viper's hand, and said softly, "What should we do now?"

Viper shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Jin Mulan let out a long sigh.

Viper suddenly raised his head: "Alan, let's give up, it's too late to give up now."

Jin Mulan raised her head in disbelief and asked, "What did you say?"

Adder said again: "I say give up."

Jin Mulan's face sank, and she shouted: "You are crazy! The plan I have worked so hard on is about to succeed, but you want me to give up! You, you..."

Hearing this, Viper slowly turned around and walked towards the door.

Jin Mulan raised her head and asked, "You want to go back?"

Viper nodded and said, "Go back and get rid of Liu Jin."

Jin Mulan said affectionately: "Ah Hui... I rely entirely on you!"

Viper took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice, "If I die, you promise me to give up this plan."

Jin Mulan was silent.

After a while, Adder got a little impatient and shouted, "I'm waiting for your answer."

"Okay, I promise you!" Hearing Jin Mulan's promise, Viper strode out the door.

……

On the second day, just as Wang Mang left the room, a servant came over and said, "Uncle, Master has an invitation."

Wang Mang nodded and followed the servants to the second hall.

In the second hall stood a middle-aged man in a green official robe talking to Di Renjie, while Li Yuanfang and Hu Jinghui stood beside him.

When Di Renjie saw Wang Mang coming, he said, "Jing Yang, I just received the news that in Xiaolianzi Mountain, the villagers found the bodies of some missing villagers. It seems that this time I can only trouble you and Yuan Fang."

Wang Mang smiled and said, "What's the trouble? It's okay, but, won't your lord go and have a look?"

Di Renjie laughed and said, "I want to interrogate Liu Jin."

Wang Mang smiled embarrassedly: "My lord, look at my brain, I forgot about Liu Jin."

Li Yuanfang said: "My lord, we are leaving, are you safe?"

Di Renjie smiled and said, "Isn't there still Jinghui here?"

Li Yuanfang laughed when he heard the words: "My lord, the humble official is confused, so the humble official will leave."

Di Renjie nodded with a smile and said, "Hurry up and go!"

Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang nodded, and left with hands clapped.

In the afternoon, there was a sound of horseshoes in the quiet mountain road.

Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang were leading a team of Qianniuwei to the mountain road of Xiaolianzi Mountain.

It was only then that Wang Mang remembered that there were still many villagers waiting for them to rescue them in that ghost town. There were too many things in the past few days, and he forgot to tell Di Renjie.

But after thinking about it, maybe these people have died long ago, and it is of little use to talk about it.

Suddenly, there was a cry from behind.

"Uncle, General Li, please stay!"

When Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang turned their heads, it turned out that it was Di Chun who did not know when to follow.

Wang Mang asked, "Di Chun, why are you here?"

Although Di Chun was riding a horse, he still seemed out of breath and said, "Master told you to go back immediately."

"go back?"

Li Yuanfang said in surprise.

Wang Mang also felt very strange when he heard the words, the villagers of Xiaolianzishan were still waiting!
Di Chun said: "This is what the master said, let me take the two of you back to Dudu's Mansion quietly at night."

Wang Mang was thoughtful when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "Brother Yuanfang, I think the guards should go to the ghost town first, and we two can go back."

Di Chun said suspiciously: "Uncle, how did you know that the master sent the guards to go to the ghost town? The master also said so."

Wang Mang smiled and said, "Guess."

Di Chun underestimated: "Why can't I guess what the master said?"

Li Yuanfang looked at Di Chun and shook his head, and said, "I can't guess what your lord is saying either."

Wang Mang said: "Okay, let the guards go to Xiaolianzi Mountain first, let's go quickly."

Upon hearing this, Di Chun agreed, "Yes, the master is still waiting for you."

After a while, Wang Mang, Li Yuanfang and Di Chun returned.

……

Late at night, in the prison where Liu Jin was held.

A black shadow suddenly flashed from outside the prison, and a guard guarding the prison asked another guard, "Did you see a black shadow just now?"

Another guard said: "I think you are dazzled, where are the shadows."

The guard said, "Maybe I misread it!"

Little did they know that the black shadow had sneaked into the prison while they were talking.

Inside the prison, Liu Jin looked at Viper in green robes and a mask in surprise and surprise: "Are you here to save me?"

Viper shook his head slowly, and said slowly: "What did you tell Di Renjie?"

Liu Jin said, "Don't worry, I didn't say anything."

Viper nodded: "I'm relieved."

Liu Jin said: "Let's go out quickly!"

"Go out? No, you'd better not go out!" Viper slowly pulled out the sword from his waist.

Liu Jin looked terrified when he heard the words, forced a smile and said, "Aren't you joking!"

Adder said: "You are useless now, it is better to die!"

Liu Jin immediately cursed: "Without me, where did you get the list? Without me, you..."

Adder ignored Liu Jin's yell and just waved his sword.

Suddenly, Viper's sword was blocked by a knife that came down from the beam.

Seeing this, Viper was shocked, and hurriedly took out a wooden box from his bosom, and with a sound of "whoosh", Liu Jin was shot with a poisonous needle.

At this time, it was only then that the person blocking the viper knife turned out to be Li Yuanfang.

Then a dagger flew from behind, Viper hurriedly used the sword to block back, it was Wang Mang, at this moment, Li Yuanfang took the opportunity to kick Viper.

The Viper fell heavily to the ground, and just about to get up, Li Yuanfang put the knife on the Viper's neck.

At this time, Di Renjie came in from outside the prison, and after reaching Viper's side, he said, "Now let us see your true face."

Di Renjie slowly lifted Viper's mask, and under the mask was an unknown person.

Wang Mang was shocked when he saw this, and Di Renjie heaved a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to speak, Viper's complexion suddenly turned black, and black blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

After Wang Mang took a closer look, it turned out that the fangs in the mouth of the viper had been bitten into pieces.

At this moment, Li Yuanfang frowned and said, "This is not a viper."

"what?"

Di Renjie exclaimed.

Li Yuanfang said: "I have fought against Viper, he is definitely a first-rate master, but this person is only a third-rate, there is no way he is Viper."

It was only then that Wang Mang remembered that there was a fake Viper in the original plot, but that fake Viper was caught while assassinating Li Er.

Di Renjie frowned and said, "It seems that things are not as simple as we thought!"

Li Yuanfang nodded.
