Chapter 21: The Tip of the Iceberg

The eternal Yangtze River has been flowing for thousands of years. You go upstream to seek enlightenment, and you follow the trend to become the number of days!

Of course, sailing against the current is not as good as going down the river. After two days and two nights of bumpy rides, Song Yujing and Shen Ye finally arrived in Hankou. After a tiring journey, they got off the boat. The little maid Cuicui hurriedly called a carriage and took the three of them in. city.

The carriage was swaying, and after sitting for a while, the little maid felt sleepy and dozed off, but Song Yujing was still very energetic chatting with Shen Ye.

"Here, Brother Shen, are you really not going?"

"Thank you Miss Song for your kindness! But Shen Ye came here with a mission. After Shen escorted the girl into the city, he had to get to the Wudingwei command post in time. There is really no time to delay."

"This can only be like this. When Brother Shen comes here, Wu Ding Yujing should naturally show his kindness to the landlord, but if Brother Shen is busy with official duties, Yu Jing will not force it. It is not unreasonable for Yu Jing, but she only asks her brother to agree. Something!"

"Miss Song, please tell me!"

"If my eldest brother is finished with his official duties in three days, please be sure to come to Yu Jing's home to sit down. If my father knows that it is Brother Shen who has come to Wuding but cannot have a drink with him, he will definitely blame Yu Jing for being ignorant. Brother Shen..."

"To be honest, Shen doesn't know when he will be able to truly finish his official duties. He really doesn't dare to agree to this! Miss Song, please forgive me!"

"How can this be done? Doesn't it mean that eldest brother looks down on Yu Jing and my Song family?" Song Yujing changed from her normal state and stared directly at Shen Ye.

"How could it be! It's just that this matter is of great importance, and Shen Ye cannot be careless. If he agrees to the girl but fails to keep the appointment in time, wouldn't Shen break his promise to the girl?" Shen Ye also knew something about Song Yujing's persistent character, but After all, even though the case was doubtful, he really didn't say he would be able to keep the appointment on time.

"...Brother Shen just doesn't like Yu Jing. Yu Jing and Brother Shen just met by chance. The eldest brother has a handsome appearance and excellent martial arts. He has rescued countless suffering people. To the eldest brother, Yu Jing is just one of the countless rescuers under his command. The most ordinary person among people, if not so, how could he not even have time for Yujing to treat Brother Shen to a meal..." Song Yujing lowered her head, her words were miserable, her eyes filled with autumn water, she was about to cry, and she sighed quietly.

As soon as Shen Ye said this, he didn't know how to answer. He could only sigh that this woman was really quick-thinking.

"Here, then, Shen, first agree to Miss Song's invitation. But Shen can't guarantee that he will be able to go to the appointment in time. If he can't go in time, please forgive Shen for breaking his promise." Shen Ye had no choice but to do so. He showed his trump card and agreed first. As for whether to go or not, it depends on the situation.

"Hmph! Brother Shen's implication is that he won't go! Anyway, to Brother Shen, Yu Jing is just an insignificant woman. When the time comes, you can just find an excuse to shirk it. Yu Jing is just a miserable duckweed. "After saying that, Song Yujing raised her sleeves to cover her face and stopped talking, as if she didn't want others to see her tears.

"..." Shen Ye's face was full of black lines. His thoughts were suddenly seen through. He thought for a long time and really didn't know how to answer.

"Okay, Miss Song. As long as Shen agrees." Shen Ye compromised, but he didn't know that this was far from over.

"Hey, that's all. My benefactor is in such a difficult situation. It's because Yu Jing was abrupt. It's because Yu Jing didn't know the importance and missed the important matter of my benefactor..." Song Yujing suddenly changed the subject again.

"No, Shen will definitely go to the appointment. Then he will disturb the girl." Shen Ye directly interrupted Song Yujing, and immediately made a decision, go!

Shen Ye only had one thought in his mind. This Miss Song was different from his lovely sister. She could not be bought with just a bag of desserts or two bags of shortbread.

The camel bell jingled and the carriage continued to move forward. Shen Ye got off the carriage near the city gate and parted with Song Yujing. On the carriage going away, Song Yujing's smile was brighter than the sun in the clear sky, and she did not forget to poke her head out, looking far away He waved to him and said carefully, "Brother Shen, remember to come over for your appointment in three days! Again, my home is..."

In this situation, he had to sigh: The most deadly weapon of women is their softness. And this weapon happens to be aimed at men, and men are the masters of this world. This is really a natural gift. One thing comes down to another!

After entering the city, Shen Ye hurriedly rushed to the Wudingwei command post. During this period, there was no break at all. Due to his character, Shen Ye was very responsible in his work. After handing in the official documents, he arranged his accommodation and hurried to the Jinyiwei headquarters. Withdraw money from prison to Wu Daode who is still in custody.

Wu Daode in the prison was already very haggard, with disheveled hair and black body. He was lying on the bed unwilling to move. But when he saw the enemy who imprisoned him here with his own hands, he still regained his energy and cursed. A few sentences.

"Isn't this Jin Lin's bitch? Why, you still don't want to let Master Dao go? He came to Wuding again!?"

Hearing him cursing himself, Shen Ye was not angry at all. He motioned to the people next to him to open the door and the jailers to go out, while he walked in alone.

"Daozhang Wu, you are so handsome! Shen said goodbye half a month ago and miss you very much. Today I came to Wuding for business, especially to visit you." Shen Ye was smiling, but his handsome face was coupled with this smile of unknown meaning. , looking eerie and terrifying in this bleak prison.

"Oh, just tell me what you have to say! I've seen you like this a lot, so I... Wait, what are you going to do?" Halfway through his words, Wu Daode's face was full of panic, because there was a flash in his eyes. A ray of light passed by, that was the cold glow after the long sword was unsheathed!

Shen Ye drew his sword and rushed forward. The moment Wu Daode saw the light of the sword in the narrow room, Shen Ye had already rushed in front of him, and then nailed him to the wall with a flying knee.

There was severe pain in his chest. How could Wu Daode's already weak body withstand this defeat? His mouth felt sweet. A mouthful of donated blood spurted out, and the cold temperature of the long knife spread through the skin on Wu Daode's neck throughout his body. This sudden shock Crisis and fear make the brain completely clear at once.

"Ugh! You, you, stop!! You can't kill me. I won't be punished until death, and the execution order hasn't been issued yet. You can't... you are seeking selfishness..." Wu Daode struggled to endure the severe pain and shouted. He yelled, scratching his hands and feet and kicking wildly.

"Oh?! Why can't I kill you?! You should tell me and listen!" Shen Ye strengthened his feet a little and looked at Wu Daode who was struggling in vain with a sneer.

"If you attack me, you won't be able to keep your own black hat? How dare you..."

"Is that all there is? Then, you're on your way!" Wu Dao was ruthlessly interrupted by Shen Ye mid-sentence, and then the long knife in Shen Ye's hand sank into his skin with great force.

"Spare your life! Spare your life! Lord, please spare your life!" The skin on his neck had been cut open, and the blood could not stop flowing out. Wu Daode struggled wildly, his eyes wide open.

Shen Ye was not in a hurry, and kept the long sword in its condition. With a smile on his face, he slowly stretched out his head and whispered in his ear like a devil, "Well, then let you die clearly! Do you know why I can Found you on the mountain?! Because this is the errand assigned to me by that adult. He said that he was very dissatisfied with what you did because it was too slow! He was very angry! So he ordered me to get to know you. I understand. No? Remember, don’t be a fool in front of the King of Hell when you go down!”

The words were neither urgent nor slow, but the blade was slowly approaching...

"No, no, no, how could it be possible? You are talking nonsense. He clearly did not say the time. He clearly said that all he had to do was catch the person and hand it over to him. You are talking nonsense!!!" In anger and crisis, Wu Daode ignored it. All the roars. When he finished his roar, he found that the man had left him and was standing in front of him with a long knife in his hand. A smile on his face, it was a real smile.

"Oh?! Is that so? This is different from what you said in your confession!?"

That smile went straight into his bones and brain. Wu Dao was stunned for a moment, screamed strangely, and then went crazy with his five-fingered claws, trying to pounce on and tear the face apart. There were chains on his feet, and his mouth was full of blood. He was extremely crazy. But Before touching any of his clothes, I felt a pain in my chest, and was kicked hard against the wall, and then fell onto my tattered bed.

"You, a thief!! You despicable villain, a shameless thief!!" Wu Daode realized that he had been tricked, and suddenly became furious. He spat out another mouthful of blood, staining the old and yellowed cotton. Red. However, this blood in the mouth is no longer caused by the pain in the chest, but from the anger in the heart.

"Despicable?! Being called despicable by Wu Liang, a famous ghost Taoist priest with no morals? Then, I am also honored!!! Hahahahaha" Shen Ye's sinister laughter echoed in the prison. As for Wu Dao He lay on the bed motionless and the look in his eyes was gone.

"Then Shen, let's just say it! I can let you die happily now, or I can let you die slowly and more painfully. It makes no difference whether you say it or not, because for me, finding that person , it’s just a matter of time. Have you thought about it?”

"Wu, have you lied to people all your life by talking nonsense to others? Who would have thought that you would end up being deceived in the end? It really is true to the saying that things are changing! Ha, but it turns out you don't know everything. Then I say What's the benefit?" Wu Daode coughed twice, feeling extremely desolate, and raised his head to look at Shen Ye carefully.

"It's very simple. If I don't kill you, you will be spared! I also want a black gauze hat on my head!"

"Why do you guarantee that I won't die?"

"Didn't you say it yourself? Your crime will not lead to death! Moreover, I took the order from Lord Commander Wen to investigate the case thoroughly!"

Wu Daode sighed, his heart filled with despair. Knowing that he had no choice, he spoke slowly.

…………A quarter of an hour later

"That man was wearing a mask and a black robe. I didn't see clearly what he looked like?"

"...You said that he gave you 600 taels of silver to kidnap the eldest lady of the Song family, but you outsourced it and promised Yang and Ma two hundred taels of silver to kidnap the person, and you still When delivering the goods, they played a trick and only gave me one hundred taels of silver!!" After hearing the real story, Shen Ye was speechless for this man.

"Dog liar!!"

Hearing Shen Ye scolding him so suddenly, Wu Daode was also stunned and randomly spoke back.

"Aren't you the same! Dog liar!"

"Okay, that's it for today. Don't worry, Shen won't break his promise to you. Just wait quietly in prison. If you have anything to say, just ask someone to find me. Remember, don't wait when the time comes." After saying that, Shen Ye didn't stay any longer, got up and left the prison.

After being released from prison, the confusion in Shen Ye's heart was not eliminated, but became even greater. The answer Wu Daode gave him was not what he wanted. The mysterious man entrusted him to kidnap someone, and the girl Song he wanted by name could not be hurt yet. people.

"Is it the tip of the iceberg? No, no, he doesn't know about King Cheng. Then it's possible that he has nothing to do with it... Forget it, let's eat first!" Shen Ye walked slowly down the street in deep thought. It was already dusk before he knew it. When he saw a small shop on the street that had just turned on the lights, Shen Ye didn't think much and walked straight in.

"Uncle, a bowl of hot dry noodles! Add more green onions!"
