In Ye Xingguan's eyes, Murong Gu is actually a strange person.She is obviously not ugly, and her figure is quite graceful and she doesn't look like a man, but every time she speaks, she always gives off a sense of dissoluteness and dishonesty, not like a girl at all, but more like someone who has been in the market for many years gangster.

Ye Xingguan was obviously a little surprised when he saw her, and then asked, "Why are you here?"

Murong Gu leaned forward with a salivating face and smiled, and said, "You are so ruthless, beauty. You threw her to the government after you finished telling her what you said. It's so sad."

Ye Xingguan didn't care about her bullshit answer, but asked again: "...Suzhou government acquitted you? Didn't you have any small punishments or big punishments?"

The matter of Murong Gu really needs to be investigated, she is a girl, and in fact did not really cause any real harm to the kidnapped people, so this matter is not easy to judge.But if there is no sentence, she must have caused a commotion in Jiangnan Road. Ye Xingguan does not believe that the government will be so merciful.

Murong Gu immediately pouted, and said: "Beauty, why are you doing this, hoping for something bad?" Then she turned her eyes and said triumphantly: "But it's useless, Suzhou Mansion can't trap me The people in the government are almost like idiots under my command, I want to leave, but they can't keep me at all."

Ye Xingguan suddenly understood - this guy escaped by himself.

According to her body skills, this is not impossible.

He showed a slight headache, stared at Murong Gu for a while, and considered whether to take her back and keep her locked up.But after thinking about it for a while, I feel that it is more important to track down those gangsters and rescue You Xiyue and Bai Shuwen, and it would be a waste of time to arrest Murong Gu and lock him up. , may not be able to hold her.

So this idea was just a flash in the end, and I didn't continue.

Ye Xingguan immediately turned around and said to You Jianqing, "Let's go!"

Then the two rode their horses one after another and galloped along the main road.

When Murong Gu saw it, he hurriedly got on his horse, and then rode after him, shouting loudly: "Beauty, wait for me!"

After finally catching up with the two people's mounts, she quarreled with Ye Xingguan immediately: "I said you are too unfeeling, beauty? I told you about the thief, but you turned your face and didn't like it." recognize someone?"

In the end, Ye Xingguan just turned his head and gave her a cold look, and said, "Don't follow us."

Murong Gu asked: "Why? Beauty, if you are going to save people, I will definitely be able to help you a lot? So don't be so indifferent."

Ye Xingguan glanced at her, and said with a poisonous tongue: "How can someone who can't even remember the other party's identity help?"

Murong Gu said: "Although I don't know who they are, at least I have seen them. Maybe I will remember them when I see them."

After hearing this, Ye Xingguan was silent for a while, and then said: "...Why did you help us?"

When Murong Gu saw him asking this question, he immediately showed an extremely bright smile, and said, "Because I fell in love with you at first sight, beauty."

After hearing this, Ye Xingguan gave her a glare and said, "Tell the truth!"

Murong Gu sighed, and replied: "Whether you believe the beauty or not, this is really the truth."

After that, the three of them galloped all the way from Nanzhou City to Xinzhou City.During this process, Ye Xingguan has always been indifferent to Murong Gu, and his words are inconsistent, but Murong Gu doesn't care about this, and just follows closely behind the two of them, never leaving each other.

After arriving in Xinzhou, Ye Xingguan and You Jianqing went straight to the local Pavilion of Strange Objects after they entered the city, and asked the owner of the pavilion in Xinzhou City about the latest developments in the city.

The owner of the pavilion in Xinzhou City is a young disciple of Hongye Villa in his twenties, known as a scholar in the world.He is a disciple of the art investment master, and his common weapon is a long knife, so he has this title.

When Ye Xingguan asked him about the recent developments in the city and whether there were any foreign Jianghu people passing by, the scholar thought for a while, and then replied: "... Xinzhou City has indeed had several groups of Jianghu people passing by recently. There are more people here than in the past, but I don’t know if there is someone you are looking for, the owner.”

Ye Xingguan asked, "Who are there?"

Scholar Dao replied: "There are three religions and nine streams. I remember the Weilin Five Tigers, Changchun Jianying Baitong, and the disciples of Zhengqi Hall and Shouyi Society, etc. The rest may be less famous, I didn't report my family name and I was never recognized, so I don't know."

Ye Xingguan listened, nodded, pondered for a while, and then heard You Jianqing ask: "Is there any news about my sister? Did these Jianghu people drive a carriage when they passed by?"

Scholar Dao said: "There must be people who drive horse-drawn carriages. It's just that there are countless people who drive horse-drawn carriages in and out of the city every day. After all, we are not a government, and it is impossible to check every carriage."

Ye Xingguan nodded, told Shushengdao twice to pay attention to the news in the city, and prepared to leave.

Then Shushengdao suddenly called out to stop Ye Xingguan.

"Wait, owner!"

Ye Xingguan stopped and turned to look at him.

"I remembered, and when I told the news, there was indeed such a strange thing."

Ye Xingguan turned around and looked at the other party, and said, "What's the matter?"

Scholar Knife said: "About ten days ago, we received a wooden sign in our workshop. The wooden sign was carved into the shape of a token with a knife, and a word leaf was engraved on it. The Jianghu people who appeared with the wooden sign claimed to be It's Mu Ling's disciple from Hongye Mountain Villa, and he said he needed it urgently, and he wanted to exchange that token for 50 taels of silver."

Ye Xingguan narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard it, and said solemnly: "Continue."

Hongye Mountain Villa has never had any disciples of Mu Ling, but only disciples of Tong Ling, Tie Ling and Jin Ling.Even the level of the silver order is not set, because silver is too easy to twist and crooked, so it is not suitable as a token.

Scholar Knife continued: "But the token was not in the style of the token in our village, so the shopkeeper didn't take it seriously at first. After looking at it a few more times, he found that the wooden token was actually carved from black sandalwood, so he lied to the other party. He kept the wooden sign and gave 50 taels of silver."

Ye Xingguan said: "Bring me that wooden sign and show it to me."

The scholar's knife made people go to get the wooden sign.

After taking the wooden sign, Ye Xingguan took a look at it and found that it was a wooden sign with obvious new engraving marks, but the back was quite smooth, as if it had been used for a long time.In the center of the wooden sign is a leaf character that looks rather hasty and perfunctory, but the surrounding lines are carved very finely.

Ye Xingguan looked at it for a while, and felt that he had seen this kind of wooden sign somewhere, but he couldn't figure it out.As a result, You Jianqing took a look, and his expression changed drastically.

Then he suddenly reached into his collar and took out a beautifully carved jade tablet.

When the wooden and jade plaques were placed together, Ye Xingguan could clearly see that the dragon and phoenix carvings on the edges of the two plaques were exactly the same. Although the wooden plaques looked a lot rougher, the position, direction, and curvature of the main lines are all similar.

It's just that the character "Qing" is engraved on You Jianqing's jade plate, but the character "Ye" is engraved on the wooden plate.

You Jianqing said: "This is carved in imitation of Xiyue's jade tablet. There should be a 'month' on it, but I don't know why it is engraved with a 'leaf' character. But this style is definitely carved in imitation of Xiyue's wooden tablet .”

Ye Xingguan was silent for a while, and then said: "Bai Shuwen originally had a ebony plaque on his body, but it was carved with a Buddha statue, which is also bigger and thicker than this one."

You Jianqing nodded and said, "Then this should be the news he passed on to us." Then he carefully examined and compared the wooden and jade plaques, hoping to find out the differences and obtain more information.

But from the appearance, the wooden sign really looks very ordinary and normal, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Then Shu Shengdao suddenly said: "If there is a hidden message in this wooden sign, why don't the master try it with stone moistening juice?"

Ye Xingguan asked: "Then take some."

Scholar Knife asked his disciples to fetch Shiru juice.

Because it has been used to make the handwriting on secret letters visible all the year round, the selling price of Shiru juice in the Pavilion of Wonders is actually quite expensive, almost comparable to gold.But Ye Xingguan is the owner of Hongye Villa after all, when he wants to use this thing, even if it is a night pearl, the scholar can't even blink his eyes.

After pouring the stone liquid juice into the porcelain bowl, Shu Shengdao added a little stone alkali to it, and after it dissolved, he stretched out his hand and put it into the liquid with the wooden sign.

Ebony wood is worthy of being ebony wood, after being put into the bowl, it quickly sank to the bottom of the bowl and never floated up again.After a while, the scholar knife took out the ebony wood, and then began to dry it carefully with a towel.

But after drying, there was no obvious difference on the wooden sign.Ye Xingguan took the wooden sign and looked at it for a while, then sighed: "It seems that this method is not used."

He placed the wooden sign on the table and fell into deep thought again.

You Jianqing stretched out his hand to take the wooden sign, looked at it over and over for a while, then suddenly brought it in front of his eyes, observed it carefully, and then said: "Wait...!"

Ye Xingguan was taken aback for a moment, then looked at the other party in surprise.

But You Jianqing asked Shu Shengdao to find someone to come over, waxed the bottom of the wooden sign, and then repeated the previous action of soaking the wooden sign with stone moistening juice.

But this time, there was finally a change on the wooden sign.There are many densely packed characters that are so thin that the naked eye can hardly read them.
