After The Unsuccessful Search

Lin Tianlu moved slightly in his heart, and quickly asked: "Does the shopkeeper know what weird secrets are?"

"You can stop talking about this with outsiders."

p>

After receiving the promise, the middle-aged shopkeeper lowered his voice and said: "I heard that the prefect and County Magistrate had a secret enmity, and they had forged blood feuds a long time ago. Now there are many deaths and injuries at the gate of the prefect, saying Uncertainty is the good thing County Magistrate sent people to do."

Tolerate revenge?

Lin Tianlu was surprised: "Since there is an enmity between the prefect and County Magistrate, the people who died for no reason are..."

La!"

Although the middle-aged shopkeeper was a little slurred by the smell of alcohol, his tone became extremely serious: "In the past few days, some people in the county have noticed that the dark shadows are flying back and forth at night. It’s not like an ordinary martial artist... Only those demons and ghosts can have this ability."

"But I occasionally heard that these murders are somewhat related to Zhengyang Palace, I don’t know the shopkeeper. Is it..."

"Yes, yes! This is a bit weird." The middle-aged shopkeeper slapped his thigh abruptly: "I don't know where it came from, saying that Zhengyang Palace went out for a long time. The returned granddaughter Hua Shuya is a cruel and cold person. She has cultivated evil methods and martial arts greatly increased, and she wants to sacrifice cultivation with human blood. However, several martial arts experts at the prefect gate broke through this matter and were chased secretly all the way to the end. Leading the fire to the gate of the prefect."

Lin Tianlu frowned.

This matter sounds...

It must be a random fabrication.

When did Hua Shuya learn the so-called demon technique, even if he was taught the secret technique of moon generation within the valley, it is the technique of strengthening the body and tempering the spirit. Where else is it needed? Assist cultivation.

But if it falls in the ears of others, you may be really dubious.

After all, Shu Ya's martial arts was indeed advanced by leaps and bounds in the past six months. At the time of the separation, the pure martial arts training base was no less than those of the martial arts Grandmaster. In terms of her age, she is indeed'unimaginable'.

Perhaps, you have to go to the prefect gate to take a closer look tonight.

Lin Tianlu took a sip of the sake and his eyes became more solemn.

At least we must help Shuya to wash away the stigma that has flown into trouble, and restore her innocence to avoid disaster.

……

The moon is thick, and there is no sound in Wuxing City.

Vaguely, I can only see a few guards wandering slowly in the streets.

At the corner of an alley, Lin Tianlu's silhouette quietly emerged.

He took out the yellow paper map with the alcohol in his sleeve and looked at it for a moment. Only then did he confirm that the house not far away was the private residence of the prefect of Qingyan Province.

Although there is no guard standing in front of the magnificent gate, Lin Tianlu glanced slightly, and couldn't help laughing with great interest: "There are several warriors crouching in the dark."

It seems that a lot of changes have indeed taken place in this prefect, and even this guard has been hired additionally.

But if you are a common martial artist, you really meet a strong enemy

"en?"

Lin Tianlu suddenly gave a whisper and looked away from the street with curiosity. end.

Vaguely, there seems to be a fuzzy silhouette gradually emerging, especially in the deserted streets.

"This white clothed suit is not for playing guards, and...there is Yin Qi."

Om

When I was in doubt, I saw the fuzzy silhouette back and forth. It flickered and moved, but two or three breaths of effort had already appeared in front of the prefect courtyard.

"It really is a monster!"

Lin Tianlu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he glanced at the hiding place of the warriors.

If these warriors are aware of it, once they make a move, they may encounter accidents!

"You have to act first, so as to avoid many innocent casualties."

Lin Tianlu quickly gathered Spiritual Qi in his palm, just about to show up to obstruct.

But at this moment, his footsteps suddenly stopped, and his face appeared astonished: "This, how..."

After discovering that the white clothed demon appeared, The warriors crouching on both sides didn't even mean to stop them. There was even a warrior who took the initiative to show up, bowed to greet him, and slowly pushed open the gate of the prefect’s house, allowing the white clothed demon to walk without stopping. Into the courtyard.

From beginning to end, there was no conflict between the two parties.

Until the gate was closed again by the warrior, he quickly jumped up and hid on the opposite eaves again.

"The prefect and this demon are in the same group?"

Lin Tianlu squinted his eyes and pondered then said: "At least, these warriors must be familiar with the demon."

When the two sides met, there was almost no mood swings, no yin technique was used, and few exchanges were enough to prove that they knew each other.

In this way, the tragedy that occurred in the prefect’s house...

It is not small.

"You, were the scholar in the Inn at that time!?"

Suddenly a hint of surprise sounded in the alley behind.

Lin Tianlu looked back, only to realize that a woman wearing night walking black clothed silently fell from the eaves, and quickly approached: "Why are you here!"

Is this woman the Grandmaster she met in the Inn at the time?

It's just that this slim and tight black clothed black pants is really different from the previous temperament.

"I..."

"Hey! Don't talk too much, let's leave for now!"

Before Lin Tianlu could speak, this woman took the lead He grabbed his wrist and ran quickly.

……

The mature woman was lightly snorted and let go of her hand: "This distance should be almost the same... …

I thought you were a gentle, white-faced scholar, but now it seems that your identity is a bit weird."

A sword with a sheath is already on your shoulder.

The mature woman's move was like threatening, she narrowed her eyes and said solemnly: "Tell me, what do you intend to show up in front of the prefect?"

The expression is cold and the tone is colder, Even if the outline of this woman's carcass under the black clothed wrapper is more embossed and plump, glamorous and extraordinary, but this compelling baleful aura obviously lacks the so-called mature style.

Lin Tianlu grinned barely, and said, "Zai Xia is just curious about the strange murder case in the prefect's house. I can't help but come in private to see it, but when I see no one at the door guarding it, I just stood and pondered. Something."

"Curious?" The mature woman showed a little careless face and retracted her scabbard coldly said: "This is dangerous and unpredictable. It is extremely dangerous for you to come here late at night. Hurry back to the Inn without realizing it, and don’t go out at will!

If you lose your life in vain due to curiosity, what about your accompanying female companion?"

Lin Tianlu hearing this is secretly sighed. Although this woman is unfamiliar and has a cold temperament, her heart is kind.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly explained: "Please rest assured, the girl, although I am a scholar but also knows some body protection methods, it is enough to protect myself and worry-free. Moreover, this trip was originally for exploration. To understand the truth, now it’s halfway to leave in a hurry."

"You...nothing!"

The mature woman's complexion is slightly dark, but she doesn't speak much anymore, with her sword behind her back. I want to leave directly.

But Lin Tianlu quickly continued: "The girl suddenly appeared here tonight, what is the picture. Is it related to several murder cases in the prefect’s house?"

"...Yes and how?"

"We two have the same purpose, maybe we can exchange information, and it can be considered as a reference."

Lin Tianlu chuckled and talked. Talking: "I wonder if the girl knows about the changes in the mansion's courtyard. I just happened to see a mysterious person stepping into the courtyard just now. His appearance is extremely suspicious, but the relationship with the prefect is still unknown."

"Someone here?"

The mature woman's eyes changed abruptly, and she turned away immediately.

Lin Tianlu was stunned for a moment, seeing his figure vigorously stepping on the eaves and flying away, scratching his head in a slightly embarrassing manner.

How can I not give some face, run so decisively.

"Forget it, let's go into the yard and take a look."

……

The candlelight is faint, and the antique luxury lobby is decorated with many exquisite jadeware. The calligraphy and painting, the carpet on the floor, the redwood tables and chairs are soft and bright, and they look like a luxurious house.

And in this spacious lobby, there are several silhouettes sitting at the end. Among them, four middle-aged man and a white-bearded old man who is over sixty years old are all dressed in brocade robe and wearing gold jade. The ornaments and the shawl of the Greatcloak, it can be seen that they are all people with extraordinary status and wealth.

The vicissitudes of life headed by the old man played with a few iron balls in his hand, and suddenly broke the silence: "One year has passed, Niu Yunjun, can you complete the task I am waiting for?"

"This--"

A middle-aged man sitting under wiped his forehead with cold sweat, looked humble, and arched his hands in fear: "Kong Lao, we are natural for what you ordered. It's in progress. It was going well, but some changes have happened in the city recently, and it even closed the door. This will be..."

"The old man doesn't intend to listen to your excuses."

p>

The old man glanced coldly, there seemed to be terrifying coercion invisibly: "If the mission fails, you should pay some price. After all, your position as a prefect can only be secured by me. I can’t do even a little command, so what use is it for you?"

"Older Kong, please forgive me!"

Niu Yunjun hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "But there are people who deliberately learned from it. Interference, we are not strong enough, but if the enemy is too weak, we will be restrained everywhere and difficult to act!"

"Heh! There are many reasons to justify."

The old man's eyes are more obvious A bit cold, with a harsh tone: "However, the old man will let you sit outside the law for a while, let you continue to sit in the prefect position for a while, and will borrow your manpower again.

You must let him know the cost of violating Luo Xing."

Niu Yunjun hearing this suddenly looked happy, and thanked him again and again.

"Many thanks Lao Kong is kind!"

"Master Niu is really trusted by Lao Kong."

The man on the other side grinned, eloquently Stirring the tea in the cup with interest: "If bad things happen again and again, you can still get a life back several times. I just don't know if you can do it well."

"Chen Jiyang, how can you talk here? Copy!" Niu Yunjun stared at him and shouted lightly: "Trusted by Mr. Kong, I am the master of Wu Xingcheng!"

"Master Niu said yes."

Chen Jiyang drank the tea in his cup, grinning and said with a smile: "However, many martial arts experts waiting all around are all cultivated by me, and today I have invited an expert to help, Lord Niu. You have to keep your mouth clean."

The tone barely fell, a pale silhouette appeared in the lobby almost instantly, and he looked intently at the handsome man with gray hair.

The breath just escaped a little, which caused the cold wind in the lobby to roll up, and even Niu Yunjun, who had just got up, suddenly changed his face, and took a few steps back suspiciously: "This is..."

"'Eshan White Ghost' Li Xintong."

"so that's how it is, you guys do have some personal connections."

The old man exclaimed and said to Li Xintong, cup one fist in the other hand: "The name of the white ghost of Eshan, the old man has also heard a lot, didn't expect to meet here for a while."

"Luo Xing’s Kong Jinwei, admiring his name for a long time."

Eshan Baigui nodded expressionlessly: "I am here at the request of the discipline. I hope that we and both parties can go well. Cooperation."

"This is nature."

Kong Jinwei spins the iron ball in his palm, said solemnly: "This Qingcheng change, I just need you for Luo Xing. A right-hand man will be able to hold the winning ticket more securely.

But before going to Qingcheng, you have to deal with the troubles of this place first, so as to save the younger generation from wandering around in the boundaries of our places."

Oshan White Ghost said indifferently: "This time, the woman named Hua Shuya stirred the wind and rain in the county?"

"Please forgive me, master, I haven't explained this to you yet Clearly." Chen Jiyang stood up and said with a smile: "Then Hua Shuya is the granddaughter of Zhengyang King, with an extraordinary status. And this time, it happened to be able to use her name to plant some crimes, so that she would be ruined and completely changed in Qingyan Province. A humble woman who adults shout and beat."

"What's the point of this action?"

"Hehe, this is the will that has been passed down from the'above', our side Naturally, it’s a smooth ride. Besides, if there is a scapegoat, my actions will be easier and smoother."

"Yes." Kong Jinwei said in a serious tone: "Then Hua Shuya is already an abandoned son. No matter what the name is doing."

The White Ghost of Eshan was about to speak again, but his expression suddenly sank. He rolled up his sleeves and a cup of tea beside him, turning into an afterimage and flashing light instantly hit the roof of the beam. .

Was discovered?

Lin Tianlu, who was leaning on the beam, raised his eyebrows slightly, and his head flickered.

The fragile teacup directly penetrated the roof and splashed.

But at the same time, there was another silhouette flying over and landing in front of the lobby door. When the saber around waist was about to be pulled out, the breath revolved, and the sword power was already gradually rising.

"――Huh?"

Seeing his silhouette, Lin Tianlu couldn't help but startled.

Although this woman is now covered with a veil, the long sword in her hand has not been changed, and she can recognize her identity at a glance.

It turned out that it was not him who was found, but the woman who sneaked onto the roof?
