Just because Qi Yan didn't care about Xu Ning, it didn't mean that others in the camp didn't care. Just when Xu Ning took advantage of the situation and got a few minutes closer to the soldiers who came to comfort her, Qi Yan and An Nanhou pretended to have a secret conversation and passed here on purpose.
The soldier knew the rules and immediately said goodbye to Xuening and left.
Xue Ning also made a move to leave, but she turned back after walking halfway.
The night is getting dark.
Apart from the swaying shadows of the trees, there was no other sound.
An Nanhou and Qi Yan stood quietly for a while before leaving.
Their bait was given out, and it was up to them whether the fish would take the bait.
…
Ling Yutong has been going to Mr. Buzi's place more recently.
Qi Yan took Miao Miao away and entrusted it to an old man with real farming skills. Given time, Miao Miao will definitely play its role.
However, she has had some heart palpitations recently.
She just lowered her eyes while resting, and Mr. Buzi said: "What's wrong? You seem to have something on your mind recently."
"ah?"
She was stunned for a moment before she realized what Mr. Buzi was asking.
"There are indeed some things that I can't figure out, but they are difficult to trace. The clues are clearly in front of me, but I don't dare to get close because I am afraid of disturbing the situation."
She was talking about the Dark Night Branch, and the Dark Night.
Now that the alcoholic madman has completely gone down the dark road, she has not thought about how to arrange him so that he can have the effect of a killer.
The killers of the Anyimen no longer danced in front of her for a while. She usually went into the palace to take the pulse of the empress, and then left the palace to seek advice from Mr. Buzi.
Even though her days were peaceful, she always felt a little uneasy.
However, the only person who could complain was Qi Yan, who was far away in northern Xinjiang, so she kept all her thoughts in her heart and felt extremely uncomfortable.
Mr. Buzi smiled slightly.
"Why bother so much?"
He took a sip of tea and said slowly: "If you are worried about alerting others, there is no need to do so."
"Think about it differently. There are no accidents happening around you now. If they are really shocked, wouldn't it be urging the other party to reveal their flaws?"
The fog blocking his vision suddenly cleared.
As if the clouds were clearing and the sun appeared, her eyes suddenly lit up.
"yes!"
She couldn't help but laugh.
"Mr. Buzi, the little girl has learned a lesson."
In response to his thanks, Mr. Buzi just responded with a faint smile.
Ling Yutong stood up to say goodbye. Now she felt clear in her heart. After thinking briefly, she quickly decided that next, she would go to alert the enemy.
The familiar alley where she took the mission, the familiar Xiao Er, she pressed the hood casually on her head and greeted him with a smile.
"But I haven't seen you for a while."
Xiao Er also laughed.
"What do you want to check this time? If you are not here, I can give you a preferential price secretly~"
Familiar businessman face, warm smile.
Ling Yutong raised her lips: "That's really a pity. This time, I came here just for you adults."
"I've remembered the discounted price. Let's make an appointment next time?"
Xiao Er: "..."
His face, which was smiling enthusiastically, froze.
"Oh, this is really..."
He blinked his eyes and asked tentatively: "What are you doing with our Lord? Your Lordship has been... busy lately."
He bit the last two words very lightly, meaning they were a reminder.
Ling Yutong nodded to express his gratitude, but his words remained unchanged.
"Then I have to find him too."
"Could you please Mr. Xiao and tell me something?"
"good."
Helpless, he could only accept it.
In the afternoon of the next day, Ling Yutong received a reply from Xiao Er. After reading the letter, she raised her eyebrows.
She originally thought that the plan would be postponed. After all, with Cang Wu's status, if he was busy, he would not be able to finish it in a short while, but she did not expect that he would agree to meet her so quickly.
The time for your appointment will arrive in the blink of an eye.
She changed into a pair of inconspicuous clothes and went out.
Before I even saw anyone, a light woody fragrance filled my nose.
The aroma was refreshing, and a sense of familiarity just filled her heart. Before she could grasp the idea, she heard Cang Wu speak.
"What do you want from me?"
It was only after he spoke that she could clearly see where he was standing.
She gave a polite smile and replied: "I want to ask a question. I'm afraid it would be impolite to ask Xiao Er, so I asked you to ask an adult."
"Oh? Is it polite to ask me?"
Cang Wu seemed to laugh and turned to look at her.
When she met his eyes, she realized that his eyes were obviously blue and black.
It seemed that Xiao Er was not lying when he said he was busy.
In response to his question, she just smiled and did not respond, and Cang Wu had no intention of asking further questions.
It seemed that he was too tired, so he closed his eyes and just listened to her question.
"Aren't the Dark Night Branch and the Dark Night where you are incompatible with each other?"
Ling Yutong narrowed her eyes and asked this sentence, and then she clearly felt that just after she asked the question, the aura on Cang Wu's body suddenly became dangerous.
The atmosphere seemed to be stagnant, which made people feel uncomfortable.
If you are mentally unstable, you may want to run away on the spot, so stay as far away from the center of danger as possible.
"Meet one of their people?"
Cang Wu looked at her, waiting for her answer.
Ling Yutong deserved the satisfaction: "Yes, we even made enemies."
"Enmity?" He read the words she said, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes.
Ling Yutong looked at him carefully and said, "Their people broke into my Xingyue Pavilion in broad daylight and threatened to take my life. Don't you know?"
Cang Wu's eyelids twitched.
He immediately said: "I really don't know about this."
His eyes scanned her up and down, as if to confirm whether she was hurt.
"you……"
He pursed his lips, and before the question came out of his mouth, Ling Yutong answered.
"I'm fine, but my maid was injured. Although I have asked that person for interest, and now he is dead, I know the force behind him is called the Dark Night Branch."
"So, can you answer the question I asked you at the beginning?"
Cang Wu frowned.
He raised his eyes to look at her and said slowly: "From your tone, this must have happened before. Are you coming to me to ask now because you want to settle accounts with the future?"
Ling Yutong raised his eyebrows.
Cang Wu lowered his eyes.
His snow-white jaw became even sharper when he lowered his head slightly.
His tone was cold: "Since the Dark Night Branch has the word "branch", it is no longer Dark Night. Whatever their people do has nothing to do with Dark Night."
"But fire and water are incompatible..."
"This word is used between forces of equal ability. The Dark Night Branch, they are not enough to stand on the other end of the scale here."
Ling Yutong narrowed his eyes.
"So, how much do you know about them? I want to know their information."
Her tone was decisive, leaving no room for rejection.
Cang Wu paused and looked at her without speaking.
Ling Yutong frowned: "Listening to what you just said, no matter what your two forces were in the past, they have nothing to do with each other now. Then, don't you want to say it? I can pay you, as if you have accepted my investigation mission."
"no."
Cang Wu looked at her calmly.
"Those people who separated from the dark night are all people who have no regard for rules. The reason behind them being able to take action against you is nothing more than profit."
"I was silent just now, not because I didn't want to tell you information about them, but because I know too many things about them, and I couldn't tell you them all at once."
"It's too time-consuming and unnecessary."
"I won't charge you any reward. Now, you ask and I will answer. Just ask."
Ling Yutong blinked and relaxed his frown.
She was not polite, she turned the questions around in her mind and said them all.
Of course, it is a matter of design.
"Do you know the fortune teller?"
"I know, he has a quick mind and escaped from the dark night a year ago." Cang Wu narrowed his eyes: "Based on his ability, I guess he has already sneaked into the branch's management."
"Your tone is very determined."
"Yes, he has that ability."
"Why did he leave the dark night? He was disobedient and couldn't see the rules?"
Ling Yutong asked after him.
"no."
Cang Wu turned to look at her. At this moment, his eyes showed an unparalleled cold-bloodedness.
"A person with a broad psychological level will not be unable to do basic face-saving skills."
"Dark Night is an organization, not a power without room for negotiation."
"Then why did he leave?"
Cang Wu lowered his eyes.
Silver-white hair hung down on both sides of his face, giving him a cold and indifferent look.
