Jianghuke

Gu Miao only took away her butterfly mask and a sword, and borrowed a veiled hat from Chi Heting to cover her face, and walked aimlessly on the street.

The long street is bustling with people.

He wandered like this until the surroundings were silent, the lights were lit in every house, the food was fragrant, and his stomach grumbled, only then did he remember that he should find an inn to rest, and then he realized a serious problem.

I am penniless, poor and white.

It's troublesome, but it's not troublesome.Gu Miao took off her veiled hat, turned into the alley next to her, walked wherever the lights were not lit, stayed away from the bright and lively street, leaned against the wall for a moment, coughed twice, looked around blankly, and then joined him That face was full of deception.

In just half a cup of tea, he carried a bulging new purse in his arms, put on his veiled cap again, and entered the best inn in Anjiang, and asked for a room with heavenly characters and a table of wine and food.

In fact, Gu Miao rarely stayed in a certain place for such a long time.Holding his wine glass, he stared at the moonlight outside the window in a daze.

Although there are countless forces in Ling Zhuzhou looking for traces of him, he doesn't feel nervous. When he thinks of the black witch's stinky blood gurgling on the bluestone slab, seeping into the soil, and soaking the green grass, his heart beats faster , Faintly excited.

He didn't take Chi Heting's words to heart at all.It is not uncommon for black witches who are ranked third in the Heaven, Earth and People in Xuanzong to have killed them before. With such a physique that is not afraid of poison, any black witch will have a headache when he sees them.

It's just that Doctor Chi... Gu Miao frowned, and drank the wine in the glass. For some reason, thinking of him lying in a pool of blood made her feel a little uncomfortable.But he also felt uncomfortable letting a black witch go so easily.It was uncomfortable anyway, so I simply couldn't see it, walked around, and went back when I thought clearly.

They drank like this until midnight, when they suddenly saw the flames in the west corner of the city, burning through and melting into the moonlight, they cried out in surprise, and the commotion spread all the way to the north of the city.Through the half-opened window, a tower could be seen dimly near where the fire had started.

Gu Miao squinted her eyes, stood up abruptly, and the wine jug rolled and clanged for a while.

That is the direction of Baicaotang.

The plaque that said Baicao Hall was burnt and smashed to the ground, the hall was blazing, the medicine cabinet was overturned and messy, and there was no one there.

The people dressed in Xuanzong's costumes surrounded the place with three floors and three floors outside, watching with cold eyes, their faces were bright and dark clearly reflected by the fire, it was truly frightening.Xiao Er from the stall next door stared dead on a bench, holding a bloody silver ingot tightly in his hand.

"It's all done?"

"Yes. The Baicao Hall was flooded, and burned down with the noodle shop next door. The fire was so intense that no one survived."

"Very good." The leader's eyes flashed with hatred, and he sneered, "Dingling San is a poison on the fifth floor of the Nine Pagodas. Attacked and vomited blood to death. The doctor in this medicine hall is just a doctor, how can he distinguish such poisons! Last time in Lanhuai, he not only killed the youngest son of the witch, but also let him escape by chance. Now only a dose of Dingling powder is used to send it He's gone, it's really cheap for him!"

"But the suzerain has ordered that the living should be caught..."

"Shut up!" The leader said fiercely, "Poison has no eyes, the doctor stubbornly resisted and fought with his life, and this witch accidentally killed him, why not?"

The man was obedient immediately, not daring to say anything more.

Gu Miao stood in the dark of the street, hiding in the shadows. Through the curtain, he looked at the Baicao Hall, which was almost burned to the ground. After a while, he said in a low voice, "Dog bites dog."

He wanted to go, but it was as if roots had grown under his feet.

The small earthen stove under the crabapple tree appeared untimely in front of my eyes. The soup boiled on it was billowing thick and fragrant white mist from the gap in the lid, and the food that was stewed soft and floating...all were burned with the fire. .

"Vomit blood to death." He repeated, hooked his fingertips slightly, and said to himself, "Dinglingsan... I should have eaten this thing."

In the vague memory, after the poisoning, the internal organs seemed to be messed up indiscriminately, the pain was so painful that people almost went crazy, but after a few breaths, they would start to vomit blood.Warm and bright red blood spit out with the passing of life, flowing all over the ground, the whole person was soaked in a pool of blood, writhing and struggling, and died in embarrassment.

That doctor surnamed Chi, at least... shouldn't die like this.

The east was turning white, and the flames finally died down, leaving only sporadic points attached to the scorched wooden frame, burning feebly.After Xuanzong's people went in to investigate, they withdrew.

Gu Miao stood quietly for half the night, then left to hide in the alley, walked slowly to the ruins, hesitated for a while, and stepped in.

He found the body by the well in the backyard.

The corpse was burnt into charcoal, its posture was distorted, beyond recognition, and it was difficult to identify.Gu Miao spent some effort and found a few thin needles.The thin needle was wrapped in a burned and twisted leather bag, which seemed to be a needle bag just seen yesterday; when searching, a silver ring rolled out of the corpse's arms, and the jingle fell at his feet.

It was in the purse that he gave Chi Heting.

"Late..." Gu Miao opened her mouth, and suddenly realized that she didn't even know his full name. She was silent for a moment, put away the needle bag, picked up the silver ring and put it in a new purse, without saying a word. Turned around and walked out of Baicao Hall.

After seven days.

Zang Qinghuan was about to go to Pingwei Prefecture where the main pavilion of Feihua Pavilion is located, but unexpectedly, the plan was disrupted by an urgent letter.

He squeezed the letter, looked coldly at the rudder owner, and said, "You claimed that the matter was urgent, and stopped the ship without authorization. If the information in this letter does not satisfy me, what will happen?"

The rudder master half-kneeled on the ground, and said: "The letter I just received yesterday involved Chi Die, and after much deliberation, I still couldn't make a decision, so I decided to block the big boat, and I hope the pavilion master will forgive me! "

"Red Butterfly? Didn't I tell you that as long as he doesn't leave the Spiritual States, don't worry about him." Shu Qinghuan shook the letter, and his expression changed after only one glance, and said in a low voice, "It's crazy. Hurry up." Go find out the whereabouts of Chidie, and send this news to Chi Heting, hurry up!"

Chi Heting had already boarded the ferry to Mingshui Port and was chatting with the boatman.

"Mingshui Port is the thoroughfare of Kyushu. Master, do you want to leave Lingzhou?" The boatman said with a naive smile, "Although this place is chaotic on weekdays, it has become too chaotic recently. There are fires over there, killing people here, and the sky is bright and white, ouch. Yo scary."

"Ling Zhuzhou, murder and arson are commonplace." Chi Heting casually stuffed the boatman with some broken silver, "Could it be that something shocking happened recently?"

It wouldn't be such a crap thing that his own medicine hall was burned down.

"That's not it!" The boatman lifted his spirits after collecting the money, and immediately knew everything without saying anything, "Young master also knows that we are here as a ferryman, and if there are more people ferrying, we can see some tricks. Suddenly came yesterday A large group of people, all with extraordinary demeanor, can be seen at a glance as young heroes from various sects, and almost fought for a big ship."

"Oh?" Chi Heting asked, "Where are they going?"

"Uning."

Suddenly his heart skipped a beat.

Wu Ning, Xuanzong has a large stronghold there, half in the light and half in the dark, doing black and white business.How could those forces who heard the news and gathered in Ling Zhuzhou suddenly go to Wu Ning in such a uniform manner?

The boatman was still babbling: "Listen to them, there was a monster in Wu Ning, and many people died overnight. Their heads were all chopped off and hung on skewers like bacon. Even in Lingzhou, there are very few There are such appalling... Sigh, everyone is rushing to kill that demon, and I don’t know how many of them will come back, it’s really not peaceful.”

"It's too fierce." Chi Heting sighed twice, thinking how could such a lunatic suddenly appear to attract Xuanzong's attention, wouldn't it just be convenient for him to get away, and really save face.

But one day, he received a summons from Feihua Pavilion, telling him to go to Wu Ning immediately.

Chi Heting played with the mechanism bird, secretly wondering: "What sort of arrangement is this?"

The boatman approached cautiously and said, "My lord, we will be able to arrive at Mingshui Port in a day's time..."

"not going."

"what?"

"Change to Wuning, the sooner the better." Chi Heting let the organ bird go, crumbled the paper and threw it into the river, "I'll give you three times the boat fare."

The light boat is fast, flowing down the river.

Unin Pier.

Chi Heting gave the boatman three times the silver, and before he got off the boat, someone came up to him and asked, "But Mr. Chi?"

"The pavilion master ordered you to wait here?"

"Exactly." The humane said, "There are so many people, so I ask you to move to the Zuixian Tower."

Zuixian Tower is Wu Ning's signature, and one is hard to find.The man led him straight up to the private room on the top floor, cupped his hands, and retreated respectfully.Chi Heting opened the door, and saw Zhong Qinghuan leaning against the window, looking down at something.

Before he was seated, he patted the pot of Huadiao wine away, filled it up for himself, took a sip relished, and said, "The pavilion master is so elegant. Why did you call me to Wu Ning all of a sudden? Didn't you say you wanted me to leave?" Are Ling Zhuzhou avoiding the limelight?"

Noon Qinghuan raised his head and said indifferently: "Because Chidie is in Wuning."

"Cough, cough, cough!" Chi Heting coughed violently, the smell of acrid alcohol hit his forehead, and he almost choked him to death, "Gu Miao? Did he care about me in Wu Ning?"

"A few days ago, you said that you wanted Chidie's bounty." Chung Qinghuan threw the things in his hand in front of him, and raised his chin, "Now this large amount of bounty will fall into the hands of others. none of your business?"
