Master of the rivers and lakes

Chapter 169 A Different Ritual

Ying Zhe hiccupped, put his hand on Li Weiyang's shoulder and said with a smile: "Toilet, look, turn right ahead, don't turn left, turn left and go to the backyard, where there are many nursing homes, be careful Get punched out."

After Ying Zhe finished speaking, he smiled and patted Li Weiyang's shoulder before leaving.

After Ying Zhe disappeared, Li Weiyang patted his shoulder with disgust and said: "Just now I can't wait to chop off his claws!"

Zhang Qiye straightened his waist and said: "Okay, no one has any malicious intentions, so be careful next."

Li Weiyang followed Zhang Qiye and said: "You haven't told me, what are you going to do?"

Zhang Qiye said: "Stay on the sidelines and wait for the rabbit."

Li Weiyang said: "Are you sure the murderer will come tonight?"

Zhang Qiye nodded and said: "Guo Tian is the last one. They can't wait too long. It's too long. They are the ones who suffer. After all, they are so conspicuous, and the relationship between things is so easy to check. There is no chance to kill Guo Tian."

Li Weiyang said: "You mean, the murderer has been so quiet these two days because he is preparing to kill Guo Tian?"

Zhang Qiye nodded, and said: "Tonight there are mixed fish and dragons, which is a good opportunity for them to strike."

Li Weiyang frowned and said: "I still don't understand why Guo Tian is the last one. What is the connection between the dead people?"

Zhang Qiye pulled Li Weiyang to hide under a corridor, and gave her a 'shh' gesture, and said in a low voice: "Go back and tell you specifically, don't talk now."

Li Weiyang nodded with her eyes wide open, while nodding she signaled Zhang Qiye to put down the hand covering her mouth.

Zhang Qiye quickly put it down, and said in a low voice: "I'm so sorry."

Li Weiyang didn't say anything, but hid her body in the darkness better, the footsteps on the corridor passed, and after the patrolling courtyard walked away, Zhang Qiye breathed a sigh of relief: "Go here Walk."

Li Weiyang followed and asked in a low voice: "Guo Tian was attending a banquet in the front yard, why did he return to the backyard?"

Zhang Qiye led Li Weiyang to hide from the patrolling courtyard and said: "I will be back."

"why?"

"Because he can't sit still."

"Can't sit still?"

"A swordsman loses the confidence to draw his sword. Seeing such a grand scene, he will inevitably think of the past years. He will just silently try to draw his sword again in a corner where no one is around."

Li Weiyang looked at Zhang Qiye and said: "So he will definitely return to the backyard."

"uncertain."

"you……"

Zhang Qiye looked at Li Weiyang and said with a smile: "Nothing is absolute."

It was the middle of the night at this time, and the Guo Mansion's birthday banquet was still going on.

In the backyard of Guo Mansion, there was no sound.

The guards in the mansion are patrolling back and forth. There is a post every five steps and a sentry every ten steps. Looking forward from the moon gate, there are so many guards that it is frightening.

Each guard holds weapons such as knives, guns, swords and sticks, and it seems that he is facing a big enemy.

"Why are there so many more guards here than before?" Li Weiyang and Zhang Qiye hid in a flower bush, they could see the scene ahead through the moon gate in front of them, and as long as they entered the moon gate, they would arrive The small courtyard where Guo Tian lives.

"Guo Tian knows that someone will come to kill him tonight." Zhang Qiye said softly while clenching the handle of the knife.

"It seems that Guo Tian's current situation doesn't want people to know?" Li Weiyang seemed to have noticed that Guo Tian's approach was a little different.

"Yes, the six people who died plus Guo Tian, ​​these seven people have a secret, and it's an unknown secret, the person who killed them knew this secret."

"Quiet?"

Zhang Qiye shook his head and said, "Not necessarily."

Li Weiyang asked again: "It's not for secret silence, but why?"

Zhang Qiye looked at Li Weiyang and said: "Who knows."

"Forget it, forget it, what should we do now?"

"Wait."

"Wait for who?"

"Wait for Guo Tian and those people to arrive."

After finishing speaking, the two of them stayed quietly in the dark flowers, watching everything in front of them.

Perhaps because he had been waiting for a long time, Zhang Qiye took out a wood carving from his bosom, a somewhat crude wood carving.

Looking at this wood carving, Zhang Qiye showed a smile at the corner of his mouth, a very light and nostalgic smile.

"Let me have a look." Seeing Zhang Qiye looking at a wood carving, Li Weiyang snatched it over.

"You...give it back to me." Zhang Qiye saw Li Weiyang take away his wood carving, just said the word 'you', then quickly lowered his voice and stared at Li Weiyang.

"Stingy ghost, so what if you look at it, who carved this for you, it doesn't look like you at all, it's so ugly." Li Weiyang looked at the appearance of the wood carving and smiled.

"Again."

Li Weiyang saw that Zhang Qiye cared so much about the wood carving, and she couldn't help but feel angry. She hid the wood carving behind her and said, "I won't. Did your sweetheart carve it for you?"

"..." Zhang Qiye just stretched out his hand and looked at Li Weiyang. It wasn't that Zhang Qiye didn't grab it directly, but Li Weiyang protected the wood carving behind him and looked at him with his chest up. He didn't dare to stretch out his hand, let alone Make a big noise.

"If you don't tell me, I won't give it back to you."

"you……"

"Guo Tian is here." Li Weiyang wanted to say something, but saw Guo Tian walking towards here not far away, and quickly pulled Zhang Qiye and said in a low voice.

Zhang Qiye also saw Guo Tian, ​​and also saw Li Weiyang put the wood carving in her arms, he could only ignore the matter of the wood carving for the time being, and focus on Guo Tian.

Let's ask her to get the woodcarving after the matter is over.

Guo Tian had his hands behind his back and his Wufeng Chaoyang Knife pinned to his waist. As soon as he walked into his backyard, he immediately stopped in his tracks. roof.

With a bang, a huge shadow hit the ground from the roof of the main house, raising smoke and dust all over the ground. When the smoke and dust cleared, the black shadow revealed its original appearance.

But after seeing that thing, everyone's face turned blue for a while, not only blue, but also very blue.

Especially Guo Tian, ​​his face has turned livid.

Zhang Qiye and Li Weiyang in the flowers also felt strange, sticking their heads out to follow the focus of the ashen-faced eyes of everyone on the field, he suddenly shook his head.

Because he saw something that really shouldn't be there, this thing really shouldn't be here.

Because it was a coffin.

The coffin was a good one, and it was brand new, made of dark red jade and fine nanmu.

Of course Zhang Qiye knew that what Guo Tian was holding today was a birthday banquet, not a funeral banquet. No matter how bad the gift was, no matter how unworthy the gift was, he shouldn't have given him a coffin.

So, there is only one explanation, the group of people came, just above the dark roof.

Guo Tian moved, he walked a few steps in front of the coffin, he was very cautious.

And a scribe next to him crossed Guo Tian, ​​walked slowly to the coffin, and picked up a white paper tied on a thick hemp rope.

Although he is an outstanding scholar, he still has an indescribable love for paper.

There are two characters on the white paper, the characters are well written and delicate: "Guo Tian".

It seems that this coffin is indeed going to be given to Guo Tian.
