Faced with Yue Cangqiong's pressing step by step, Xie Rendeng had no choice but to compromise: "Okay, I'm in trouble today. [~] But if you want to cooperate, you have to show some sincerity. At the very least, you should guarantee my safety and let me go."
I leave, otherwise it will be too late if Wei Shentong's men find out."
"Of course I can let you go. You just need to answer me why you want to get rid of the killer hired by Wei Shentong, and I will let you go immediately." Yue Cangqiong asked immediately.
"We can only hope that Wei Shentong will mind his own business, but he actually found out about me. Originally, I got along well with him, but I turned a blind eye to what he did in private, but this guy is unwilling to accept it.
I am only a deputy hall leader, specializing in shady business. Recently, I secretly investigated my privacy. I had no choice but to kill the killers who snooped on my information."
"Later, Wei Shentong seemed to have received a secret order from the main hall to summon assassins to deal with Su Chenfei who had escaped. Originally, I had dealt with Su Chenfei several times and had some friendship, so I wanted to help him. What's more, it happened before
Xiao Bubai, an old friend from the gang, actually came here to recruit troops. It seemed that he was planning to go against the Wang family. I kept an eye on them since it was not convenient for me to show up. I discovered that Wei Shentong had arranged for killers to also deal with Xiao Bubai and others, so I
Without stopping, he simply killed the killers hired by Wei Shentong one by one, and even pretended to commit suicide, which frightened Wei Shentong into his old life."
Yue Cangqiong was quite surprised after hearing this. He didn't expect Xiao Bubai to be here. The most rare thing is that this Xie Rendeng actually helped Su Chenfei secretly. He immediately said: "In that case, I would like to thank you very much. I am here in Su
My family has lived in seclusion for five years. Uncle Su treats me very well, and Xiao Bubai and I have also met before. We have already agreed to deal with the Wang family together. Today I lurked into the Wei Mansion just to find out the truth about the Thirteenth Hall. Thank you, Uncle
If you are interested, we might as well join forces on this."
"Join forces?" Xie Rendeng pondered for a while, but smiled helplessly, "For the first half of my life, I lived on a knife's edge and killed countless people. But now I am used to living a good life, and then I turn around and go to the end of the world. If you think about it. [ ~
]”
Yue Cangqiong smiled and said: "Time will not wait for me. Sooner or later, the Wang family will be destroyed by me, and Wei Shentong will also keep an eye on you. You might as well stop it and don't leave any future troubles."
Immediately, he gave an order to the Yuan Shen of Wanxiang, signaling to remove the magic circle and let go of Xie Ren's lamp to show his sincerity: "You may leave at this moment, but tonight's events will be treated as if nothing happened. I will keep your mouth shut."
Then lie back on the bed and continue to sleep peacefully with your eyes closed.
After a while, the mysterious puppet master in the room disappeared.
There was a hint of smile on Yue Cangqiong's lips.
When I woke up the next day, there was a rapid knock on the door. It must be that Wei Shentong was anxious to send someone over to see if he was okay. Yue Cangqiong deliberately stretched himself slowly, put on his clothes, and then went out.
Open the door.
A maid outside looked at Yue Cang Qiong who opened the door with fear. When she saw that it was a living person, she took a deep breath and said, "My guest, please get up. Do you want me to prepare hot water for you to freshen up?"
"Of course I want it!" Yue Cangqiong nodded, accepting all the clothes of the other party without any ceremony.
After the maid brought hot water, he had finished washing himself in the wooden basin and was about to have some breakfast. The housekeeper Lao Qiu appeared at the right time and came in with a smile and said: "Brother-in-law slept well yesterday. Did nothing happen?"
"No, I slept until dawn yesterday and was very comfortable!" Yue Cangqiong said while eating, and motioned to Lao Qiu to sit down and eat some too. Lao Qiu felt very strange, why didn't anything happen last night?
He rubbed his hands and stood aside and said: "Brother Yue, if you have eaten well, come with me. To be honest, the deputy hall master has some errands to ask you to do."
"What's the errand? Can you tell me something?" Yue Cangqiong's mind was racing. What would Wei Shentong do next? A killer who survived the night unharmed would most likely let himself kill someone.[~]
Who would he let himself kill? As he walked across the sky, he suddenly thought of a person in his mind, and it became clear to him, and he already had a plan in his mind.
Arriving at Wei Shentong's house, the deputy hall master was still sitting on the chair of the imperial master, closing his eyes and meditating. It was not until the two of them entered the door that he opened his eyes and said, "Brother Yue is here, was everything safe last night?"
"Everything is fine, the deputy hall master is on board." Yue Cangqiong asked politely, "I wonder if you have any instructions for me?"
Wei Shentong didn't say much. He reached out and took out a scroll from the table and handed it to Yue Cangqiong: "Since you spent last night safely, there is one thing that I would like you to deal with. There is a person's details on it.
Information, if you memorize it, take this person's head within two days, which will be regarded as a certificate of admission to my branch."
Yue Cangqiong unfolded the scroll and read it silently. There was a portrait of a person drawn on it. He was an old man in his late fifties. His face looked like it had gone through many changes, but he was an old acquaintance, Xiao Bubai. The information on it read: "Xiao Bubai,
Nicknamed Liuyun Shuangdao, he was the former deputy leader of the Jingji Sect. He was later dismissed for committing crimes. He served in the seventh branch for many years. Recently, he colluded with the Hundred Beasts Hall to rebel and openly attacked the seventh branch. Now he secretly comes to the thirteenth branch.
If you have bad intentions, kill them."
Sure enough, he wanted to kill Xiao Bubai himself. Fortunately, he got the information from Xie Rendeng last night. He already knew it well, so he put the information away and asked, "I'll do it right away. The deputy hall master had better send someone to help."
Give me the deputy, I am not familiar with this place, so it will inevitably cause a lot of inconvenience."
"This is easy to handle. Lao Qiu, go and arrange for someone to go there." Wei Shentong ordered, then lay down on the Taishi chair and closed his eyes without saying a word.
Yue Cangqiong immediately exited, and then waited for Lao Qiu to bring a servant over to guide him. The two of them immediately left the house and rushed to the inn where Xiao Bubai was staying.
According to what was written in the information, there were five or six people in Xiao Bubai's party. They seemed to be here to contact the forces who wanted to resist the Wang family. They frequently had private contact with some people from outside the mainland. When they arrived at the inn, they first found a place to sit down, and then asked for help.
I put a pot of snacks on the coffee table and ate slowly while waiting for Xiao Bubai to appear.
People were coming and going in the inn, and dozens of people came in and out in a short while. The servant said while eating melon: "Brother, you don't know something. This place is quite different from other towns. There are quite a lot of guests from outside the mainland."
, many of them are practitioners who are proficient in martial arts like you, so there are different sects, and the relationship is very complicated. An inn like this one is ordinary on the surface, but in fact it is the property of the East China Jiulong Gang, and it has been through our two branches.
The hall master tacitly approved it, so no one who stays here dares to make any arbitrary decisions."
"Oh, it turns out that this place is the property of the Jiulong Gang. Your hall master is so generous that you actually allow others to set up a base here?" Yue Cangqiong couldn't help but smile.
"What can be done about this?" The servant sighed in an old-fashioned way, "Who doesn't know that in this Wu Ao Continent, apart from our Jingji Sect in the South Continent, the Jiulong Gang in the East Continent is the most powerful, and the other is the North Continent.
Yuyu Gate and Taixuan Gate."
"So, you know a lot!" Yue Cangqiong casually grabbed a handful of melons, threw them back into the plate and said, "Then can you guess what I will do here later?"
Just when he was talking, Xiao Bubai happened to come down from the stairs and caught a glimpse of Yue Cangqiong and someone sitting downstairs. His face was slightly startled, but he quickly returned to normal and went straight down to find a place to sit down and pretend to drink tea and chat.
Do everything as usual.
After a while, Yue Cangqiong stood up and pretended to register, and quietly went to the back of the guest station. When he was going up the stairs, he made a follow-me gesture to Xiao Bubai with his back hand. After a while, Xiao Bubai also got up and went out.
Pretending to leave, he quietly went back to the inn.
The two met at the back of the inn. Xiao Bubai led Yue Cangqiong into his room, then closed the door and asked: "Young Master, how come you are here? The person who was following you just now who was monitoring you is out."
What's up?"
Yue Cangqiong waved his hand and said: "It's not the one who monitors me, it's the follower I found myself. Uncle Xiao, you don't know that you have been targeted by Wei Shentong. He is looking for someone to kill you and then hurry up."
"Wei Shentong! He is quite well-informed, but I have been here for seven or eight days without incident. Why did I wait until today to come to my door?" Xiao Bubai frowned and said strangely.
"You don't need to ask about this uncle. I can only tell you that someone is helping you behind the scenes. I only found out about this at the right time, so I accepted the mission and pretended to kill you."
"Young Master, thanks to you, you saved Lao Xiao's life again." Xiao Bubai couldn't help but smile awkwardly, "It's just that, how could the Young Master be here and be related to Wei Shentong?"
"It's a long story. Let's talk about this later." Yue Cangqiong knew that he couldn't chat at this time and had to do business first. "I will come again tonight. If you do this and this, you will put on a good show.
Show it to the other party, and you can take the opportunity to fake death and leave, so as not to arouse Wei Shentong's suspicion again, and I can stay here longer and find out the situation here."
After explaining the matter, before going out, Yue Cangqiong said again: "By the way, I have been in contact with Uncle Su recently. When the arrangements for the evening are settled, you can go to the Valley of Bones to meet them for a round."
"You mean Su Chenfei, that's great. I've wanted to get together with him for a long time." Xiao Bubai nodded secretly and prepared to arrange things for the evening.
Yue Cangqiong immediately went back to the inn, exchanged glances with the servant and hurriedly left from the front door. The other man was also a very transparent person, and he immediately understood. He followed Yue Cangqiong and caught up with Yue Cangqiong on the street and asked, "What's wrong? Did you succeed?"
"Almost, but I've already done some research. I'll come over and do it myself tonight," Yue Cangqiong said silently.
He immediately went back to Wei Shentong's residence and asked the servant to report to the housekeeper on his own, but he went back to his room to rest on the pretext of making preparations.
Xie Rendeng had to be involved in tonight's matter, otherwise he would not be dragged into the water by himself. Yue Cang Qiong secretly planned to put on a great show tonight.
