This is a very small house.

Within a few steps after entering the door, there are three main rooms. There are no rooms on the east and west sides. Judging from the arrangement, it is still an unstructured foreign style.

Wei Shu followed Zhou Shang to the front of the house and saw that the house was only made of yellow mud. The roof had new tiles stacked on top of old ones and had been repaired countless times. Half of the top stone spire was also bald.

No wonder he is so flattering, but he turns out to be from a poor family.

The two people entered the house one after another. When the door was closed, the last trace of flattery on Zhou Shang's face was swept out of the door along with the dim light.

He suddenly straightened his rickety waist, walked to the table, lifted up his robe and sat down, looked up at Wei Shu, and asked:

"Have you seen Po Jun?"

Break the army?

Who is this?

Wei Shufeng frowned lightly, but a "crack" sound sounded in her mind, as if a boat broke through the heavy waves, the pages of the book in the dark turned like this, and gradually transformed into the corpse half hanging on the edge of the well.

.

That is... Pojun?

As this thought emerged, the fog in her mind seemed to be loosening. Wei Shu held her breath and stood still for a few breaths, and the memories appeared one by one:

Indeed, the clean-looking deceased should be the "Pojun" Zhou Shang asked about. This is not his real name, but a code name, similar to Aqisi's "Arrow Eleven".

Just yesterday, under Zhou Shang's advance arrangement, Aqisi and Pojun made an appointment to meet in the afternoon, and the meeting place was an empty house in the north of the city.

Aqisi came as promised, but did not see Po Jun. Instead, she accidentally found a letter tucked in a conspicuous place behind the door.

The letter said that Pojun had been kidnapped, and if he wanted to save others, he should go to the abandoned mountain temple on Temple Street.

Because some of the words in the letter were very strange, Aqisi guessed in advance that she might meet an "old friend", so she decided to go alone, and the secret letter was torn into pieces and eaten on the spot.

The origin of Arrow 11 is really quite mysterious.

Recalling this, Wei Shu couldn't help but feel emotional.

Everything that happened in that mountain temple was personally experienced by Wei Shu, so there is no need to mention it again.

Because Aqisi only knew the name of Po Jun before, but had never seen his true face, when she saw the young man's body yesterday, Wei Shu's mind went blank and she could not think of anything.

"Where's the topographic map of the underground grain depot? Did Pojun give it to you?"

Zhou Shang asked again.

Compared with the previous question, the second consecutive question made Wei Shu frightened and her memory was stimulated again.

Yes, yesterday's appointment was indeed to get the topographic map of Baishuang City's underground grain depot sent by Po Jun. According to the original plan, if everything went smoothly and the topographic map was obtained, Aqisi would hand it over to Zhou Shang today, and Zhou Shang

Shang came to look for her today, probably because he had an appointment, so he searched all the way to the mountain temple.

But... underground grain depot?

Isn’t this the secret of a city?

What does Zhou Shang want with these drawings?

Also, where did Po Jun get this topographic map? Was it... stolen?

Wei Shu could not help but feel frightened, and at the same time she vaguely felt that she had touched a certain key. However, no matter how she thought about it, the pages hidden by the darkness refused to light up at all.

However, with the recovery of some records, Po Jun's identity has become clearer.

It turned out that this Pojun was a Song slave from the family of the envoy in charge of Baishuang City's treasury. Because he was a silent person, it was naturally easier than ordinary people to keep secrets, so he was placed in the study as a servant, and he learned where his master hid the blueprints.

.

It was Zhou Shang who persuaded him.

In Aqisi's memory, Zhou Shang seemed to have only met Po Jun a few times, and Po Jun generously promised to help him steal the blueprints. But if Gou Ba hadn't stabbed the general out and killed him, the matter would have ended today.

Finished...

Wait, Gouba?

Wei Shu's heart suddenly jumped.

The person who killed Po Jun was none other than Gou Ba.

Wei Shu had never been able to figure out the reason for Gou Ba's murder before, but now combined with what Zhou Shang said, could it be that... Gou Ba killed Po Jun just for the underground grain depot map?

Then who is the person he is waiting for at the mountain temple?

Thinking back at this moment, the tone, wording, etc. of the secret letter left in the empty house in the north of the city yesterday were quite similar to Gouba. The font was also very similar to Gouba's book in her memory. Wei Shu felt that 80% of it was

It was written in his own hand.

Judging from the wording in the letter, at least when he left the letter, Gou Ba seemed not to know who the person he was meeting with Po Jun was.

If this theory is true, then when Aqisi appeared in the hall yesterday, Gouba was actually... unexpected? Could it be that the life-and-death fight that followed was not a trap set by Gouba specifically against Aqisi, but a

……meet by chance?!

Wei Shu suddenly clenched her fingers.

The more she thought about it, the more she realized that this guess was very close to true.

Gou Ba has always been meticulous. If he had known in advance that he would fight Arrow Eleven, he would have set up ambushes everywhere in the mountain temple, instead of just guarding one main hall without even setting up any traps.

With this thought, new memories flooded into my mind.

Gouba knows how to use mechanisms.

Although he is not a master of this technique, it is not difficult to arrange several traps to lure his opponents into the game.

In other words, the person he was waiting for at that time was not Aqisi!

It was precisely because he did not expect that Aqisi would suddenly appear that he fought in a physical body in a hurry. In order to win, he had to take risks and use evil martial arts such as the "Seven Kills Sealing Pulse Art".

Thousands of threads were tangled together, and Wei Shu felt her head was dizzy. Fortunately, the breath in her dantian was steady, and a trace of heat washed her limbs. Her mind was never defeated by the lethargy, but instead she figured out a thread:

Regardless of anything else, the current situation is that both Gou Ba and Po Jun are dead. As for the topographic map...

Po Jun's body once again appeared before Wei Shu's eyes.

After lowering her head and thinking for a moment, she whispered softly, trembling: "Po Jun... he seems to be dead."

"Dead?" Zhou Shang gasped and asked in shock: "What's going on? How could he die?"

His tone was as sincere as if he really knew nothing about the corpse at the bottom of the well.

However, Wei Shu still remembered the big water-stained footprints on the brick floor leading to the backyard.

Zhou Shang must have been to the backyard and carefully inspected the two corpses.

At this time, the map of the grain depot that he and Wei Shu talked about was of great significance. It was really a bad idea to continue to hide the corpse at the bottom of the well, and what should be said must be said.

However, the acting ability of the person in front of me is not inferior to that of the beloved ladies who were divided into two classes in the previous life.

Wei Shu felt like she was back in the court for no reason. For a moment, all the pores in her body relaxed, and she felt refreshed and at ease. But from the outside, her complexion was getting paler.

Then, her body began to stagger, as if the window was opened and the wind blew, and she would be blown down by the strong wind on the spot.
