Chapter 621: Flood Destroys Dragon King Temple
After Xu Pinggui and Xu Jin and others left Zhang's house, they did not leave the city immediately.
Instead, they found an inn nearby. While waiting for the innkeeper to register, Xu Pinggui looked at Xu Jin and the others with a cold expression:
"It's too late. Let's not disturb Qingfeng and the others tonight. Let's rest here for a night and go see them tomorrow morning. We still have time to rush back.
You all should have a good rest tonight and don't mind your own business when you are out, got it?"
Xu Jin nodded.
Then he paid the money, got the room number, and walked upstairs to the guest room they had booked.
After they entered the guest room, the innkeeper immediately called the waiter to keep watch, while he walked straight out the door.
He didn't know that Xu Pinggui saw the whole scene through a small gap.
There is indeed something wrong with this inn.
Xu Pinggui looked indifferent.
The first floor of the inn is clean, but the guest rooms...
Xu Pinggui looked back at the guest room, a hint of sarcasm on his lips, and he didn't even wipe the dust off.
Is it normal not to wipe off such thick dust?
If the inn continues to do business with this attitude, it will probably be on the verge of bankruptcy.
After locking the door again, Xu Pinggui found a stool to sit on, then lifted up his trouser legs to expose his calves.
A few crooked bloody words written on his calf appeared before his eyes.
Looking at these illegible words, Xu Pinggui rarely smiled.
It's really hard for Zhang Tiancheng that kid to think of using this method to convey the message.
In order to make it more realistic, he released most of his strength, but after so many punches, Zhang Tiancheng might have suffered internal injuries.
He was destined to bear the consequences of this crime.
But if I don’t really do it, Zhang Liming and the others won’t believe it at all.
Now I can only wait until the matter is over and then apologize to him.
Recovering his thoughts, Xu Pinggui immediately concentrated on studying those twisted words.
He looked at it for a long time before he could see the words clearly.
But because he saw it clearly, his expression changed instantly.
Poisoning, massacre, traps!
The message he conveyed was probably to tell himself that Sun Meilan was poisoned. He was not sure whether the massacre was aimed at Mo City or Yuan City.
As for the trap, this is easy to understand.
It should mean that all of this is a huge trap.
Damn it.
He should have thought of it long ago. If he wanted to make Lao Wei, Qingfeng and the others get into trouble at the same time, the only way was to poison them.
So, Qingfeng and the others might have been poisoned.
He suspected that the people of Mocheng had met with misfortune after the massacre.
After all, I haven’t seen a single familiar face since entering Mo City today.
The number of people on the streets is becoming fewer and fewer.
The most important thing is that when I appeared, these people subconsciously looked at me.
Did they really massacre the city?
The population of Mocheng is not large, but there are still tens of thousands of people.
Did they really poison everyone?
How dare they?
No, this message must be sent back to the young lady.
Thinking of this, Xu Pinggui suppressed his anger and went straight to bed to take a nap.
wait!
…
At three o'clock in the morning, Xu Pinggui opened his eyes, and a sharp murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
When the window was poked open by someone's fingers and a bamboo tube was inserted from the outside, he rushed over quickly and lightly, and then gently blocked one end of the bamboo tube with his fingers.
Soon, a light cough was heard from outside the window.
Then, the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground was heard outside.
Xu Pinggui had a frosty face. He wanted to defeat him with such a small trick. Did he really think that he had wasted all these years?
Xu Pinggui opened the door silently.
Xu Jin and the other person next to them also opened their doors. Without exception, there was a person lying in front of the door of their room.
The three of them looked at each other, then started dragging the man into the house and closed the door.
After a cup of tea.
The three of them met in a corner not far from the inn.
Xu Pinggui didn't waste any time. He handed them each a letter and asked them to go their separate ways. He must ensure that at least one letter was delivered to the young lady.
"Brother Gui, what about you?" Xu Jin asked directly after putting the letter close to his body.
"I'm going to look for Xu Qingfeng and the others." Xu Pinggui said seriously:
"Xu Qingfeng and the others must have been poisoned and are being controlled by someone. I have to go find them and see if I can rescue them."
"No!" Xu Jin shook his head seriously:
"When I came out, the young lady told me to keep a close eye on you and not let you make decisions on your own.
Everyone here is from the other side now, it would be very dangerous if you go in alone.
Also, the three of us came together, but in the end only two of us left. The people behind the scenes will definitely be suspicious."
Xu Pinggui shook his head, "Don't worry, I've already thought about it.
I plan to stay at Zhang's house as soon as the sun rises. You will be safe only if I stay. They definitely won't want to alert the enemy at this time.
Or perhaps they want to use us to lure the young lady to Mocheng."
These are his guesses.
Xu Jin knew that he couldn't convince Xu Pinggui, so he just pursed his lips and said, "Take care."
"Let's go quickly, it's almost dawn." Xu Pinggui asked them to leave quickly.
After they left, Xu Pinggui stood there for a long time, until the sun rose in the sky and there was no movement from the direction of the city gate. Then he walked towards the White Tiger Hall.
At this time, there were already people moving around on the street.
When they saw him, many people looked surprised and then hurried away.
Xu Pinggui seemed not to notice and walked straight to the Baihutang territory.
He didn't care whether knocking on the door at this time would disturb others, and he reached out and knocked on the door.
No matter how hard he knocked, there was no sound from inside.
But as he stood here, he could faintly smell a rotten smell.
Xu Pinggui's face immediately sank.
That was the smell of a rotting corpse.
Did I guess wrong?
Have Master Wei, Qingfeng and the others met with misfortune?
Bang, bang, bang!
Xu Pinggui's knocks on the door became more intense, and he even shouted impatiently:
"Aren't you up yet?
Master Wei, come out quickly, your old friend is here."
"Old Wei, do you want some more good wine?
My young mistress asked me to bring you some good wine. Please open the door quickly, or I will drink it all and leave you no drop."
…
At this moment, cursing sounds were heard from inside the house.
"Who is it, is there something wrong with your brain?
You come knocking on the door so early in the morning to disturb my sleep. Aren't you afraid of retaliation from the White Tiger Hall?"
Immediately afterwards, with a creaking sound, the door of the White Tiger Hall, which had just been built less than a year ago, was pulled open a crack from the inside.
A strange face appeared, and at the same time there was another arrogant roar:
"Get out of here, we're still sleeping.
If you keep knocking on the door and disturbing our sleep, I'll show you how I'll deal with you. Get out!"
After saying that, he was about to close the door.
"Wait!" Xu Pinggui stretched out his foot to prop up the door, preventing them from closing it.
"You don't understand what people are saying and you want to get beaten, don't you?" The man, Li Yong, said with disgust:
"Get out of here now, don't come here and disturb my sweet dreams."
Xu Pinggui frowned, "I want to see Master Wei.
Go and announce that Xu Pinggui is here to visit."
"Master Wei is too busy to see you!" Li Yong said disdainfully:
"All sorts of people come here to see Master Wei. Master Wei is someone you can see whenever you want?
Get out of here now, or I'll be rude to you."
Xu Pinggui narrowed his eyes, "You are not Master Wei's man."
sonorous!
Xu Pinggui drew his sword and pointed it at him. "Tell me, what did you do to Master Wei?"
Li Yong was startled and stammered, "I... of course I am from the White Tiger Gang.
I... I just said that because Master Wei told me to.
Mr. Wei took some people out the day before yesterday. When he left, he told me that no matter who came to see him, he would not see them, and asked me to find a way to get rid of them.
This, this is really none of my business.”
Xu Pinggui's face was cold, and a dark light flashed in his eyes. "Did he say when he would be back?"
"No." Li Yong smiled bitterly and shook his head:
"By the way, he left with the Xu family. I vaguely heard that they seemed to have discovered a treasure.
Ah, your last name is Xu, you are from the Xu family!"
Li Yong realized it later, and after being surprised, he immediately put on a flattering smile:
"The flood destroyed the Dragon King Temple, and families no longer recognized each other.
It’s all my fault for being blind. My own family members don’t recognize each other.
If I knew you were from the Xu family, I definitely wouldn't have spoken to you like that. Sir, please don't be angry."
Xu Pinggui glanced at him coldly, then put the sword in his hand back on and said indifferently:
"If Master Wei comes back in the next two days, please go to Zhang's house and let me know. I'll be staying there for the next two days."
After saying that, he immediately turned and left.
When he turned around, there was a hint of sarcasm on the corner of his mouth.
Found a treasure?
This excuse is really bad. If he really found out, it would be impossible for a gatekeeper like him to know.
It seems that the news Zhang Tiancheng brought back is true. The people in Mocheng... I'm afraid all of them have been replaced.
As soon as he left, Li Yong immediately closed the door.
Then he looked behind him respectfully, "Master, the person has left."
"Hmm!" The man with his back to him said indifferently:
"Bring someone to clean up this place. I don't want to see anything unusual!
He won't believe it so easily and will definitely find a chance to come in and search."
As soon as these words came out, Li Yong subconsciously raised his head and looked forward, then suddenly lowered his head, "Yes!"
But in front of them was a mountain of corpses, and beneath the corpses was a river of blood that had long since solidified.
