Chapter 7
Jin Jiuling was upset by Zhongming's words, and with Wuqing's undisguised suspicion of him, Jin Jiuling couldn't even think of a way to get away.
Wuqing was too lazy to test Jin Jiuling again. After so much back and forth, in his eyes, Jin Jiuling had already been labeled "the thief of embroidery".
That night, a fierce battle began. Wuqing and the four sword boys who accompanied him and Jin Jiuling fought from inside the house to outside the house, and from outside the house to the weedy forest, with grass residue flying everywhere.
The place where Bu Zao rented was near the forest. He hid behind the window and watched the few people fighting closer and closer, and then farther and farther away.
The other residents didn't dare to make a sound. Only Bu Zao stood behind the window and watched the excitement.
It was probably not an illusion. Wuqing made eye contact with him for a moment. Bu Zao blinked and hid in the shadows, but the moonlight still clearly illuminated his face.
After noticing Bu Zao, Wuqing pushed Jin Jiuling closer and farther, trapping him in the woods.
After all, Jin Jiuling was a famous detective with decades of experience. He had murderous intentions and showed no mercy to Wuqing and others. Every move was fatal, but Wuqing was the best at hidden weapons. Jin Jiuling relied on only a sword and was unable to hold on. He was severely injured and surrounded by Wuqing and four sword boys.
"You doubt me because of what Chongming said," Jin Jiuling asked Wuqing with gritted teeth.
"No." Wuqing answered him, "Because you took the initiative to jump out and follow me to investigate the case, I suspected you at that time."
Jin Jiuling became even angrier, thinking that maybe he shouldn't jump around. In a rage, his heart was boiling with anger, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted.
After sealing Jin Jiuling's acupuncture points, several people planned to go back home. Passing by the long house, Wuqing thought of the figure by the window he saw not long ago, so he raised his eyes and paid attention, and met the eyes of the person by the window again.
... He was still there.
The young man by the window had loose hair and a dark coat on his body. Half of his face was hidden in the shadows, and he looked at him expressionlessly.
After meeting Wuqing's eyes again, Bu Zao hesitated for a moment, thinking that in this situation, whatever he did would appear suspicious, so it would be better to do something suspicious but normal.
So he bent his eyes and waved to the person.
〖The system expressed doubts about the player's strange train of thought.〗
Wuqing was startled and turned his head away.
Bu Zao watched the few people go away, and felt that he had left a deep impression on Wuqing this time.
*
Wuqing decided to take Jin Jiuling to report to the two palace masters before Yihua Palace caused trouble. After all, Wanwulou sold the news to an unknown buyer. When Wuqing thought about this, he always felt that something more troublesome would happen. The
Four Sword Boys were very dissatisfied with Jin Jiuling for being a captain but committing robbery. In the future, if what Jin Jiuling did was known to others, I am afraid that someone would scold their Six Gates again.
A single rat shit spoils the whole pot of porridge. This is exactly the truth.
Wuqing listened to them mumbling while packing their luggage, thinking silently. Before they left, Lu Xiaofeng came to the door and was shocked to see Jin Jiuling looking like a trapped wolf.
After hearing the cause of the matter, Lu Xiaofeng's expression was tangled. He said that the atmosphere yesterday was very wrong. Who would have thought that the world-famous detective would be the great thief Xiuhua?
"What do you want to talk to me about?" Wuqing asked Lu Xiaofeng.
Lu Xiaofeng came back to his senses and said, "Chongming said who is Sikong Zhaixing's employer. I want to tell you..."
It was Chongming himself who revealed the news. Sikong Zhaixing didn't say a word, but his reaction revealed everything.
In fact, it was all because Sikong Zhaixing tried every means to anger Chongming, and Chongming was really angry. In a rage, he revealed Sikong Zhaixing's employer.
It was Jin Jiuling.
When Sikong Zhaixing first entered the martial arts world, he owed Jin Jiuling a favor. Jin Jiuling used the favor to reciprocate, and Sikong Zhaixing was also very curious about the mysterious owner of Wanwu Building, so he agreed.
Lu Xiaofeng felt that Wuqing needed to know this.
"It's Jin Jiuling" Wuqing pointed out the name before Lu Xiaofeng could say it.
Lu Xiaofeng nodded. "He might be afraid that you would find out the identity of the thief Xiuhua from Wanwu Tower, so he sent the monkey spirit to steal Chongming..."
Wuqing shook his head and said, "No. Jin Jiuling only said that he came to visit Dazhi Datong at first, but Master Guisun said that Dazhi Datong has not been doing business recently, and said that he knew the whereabouts of the owner of Wanwu Tower..."
But Master Guisun only said that he knew, but refused to tell, so when Lu Xiaofeng came, they saw them "interrogating" Master Guisun.
Since Jin Jiuling sent Sikong Zhaixing to steal people, it is impossible for him to take the initiative to see him again.
Chongming hid very deeply, and Jin Jiuling didn't even know that Chongming was in the same place with Master Guisun at the time.
Perhaps even Jin Jiuling himself was surprised that Master Guisun knew where Chongming was.
Lu Xiaofeng was slightly stunned, and suddenly realized that everything was under Chongming's control, and he really wanted to be famous.
Since Master Guisun saw him, Chongming decided to show up in front of people. But he had been hiding behind the scenes before, and there must be something that prompted him to show up.
Wuqing also thought of the same thing as Lu Xiaofeng, but this is not the most important thing at the moment.
Jin Jiuling sent Sikong Zhaixing to steal the owner of Wanwu Tower and it had nothing to do with the great thief Xiuhua, so what was his reason for kidnapping Chongming
? The news sent by Lu Xiaofeng did not solve the current situation, but instead raised new questions.
"Why is Chongming willing to tell you this?" Wuqing asked curiously.
"The monkey spirit irritated him." Lu Xiaofeng said cheerfully, "So Chongming exposed his employers one by one, starting with Jin Jiuling, and he is now serving tea to Chongming to calm him down."
"..." Wuqing became more and more curious, "What did Sikong Zhaixing do?"
Lu Xiaofeng showed a puzzled expression and shook his head: "He said a lot of things, and I don't know which one irritated Chongming... but Chongming was really angry."
Wuqing found it hard to imagine what the young man with a mask and a forbearing look would look like when he got angry.
Sikong Zhaixing himself was also confused when he recalled it. Chongming did not react to anything he did. Instead, he was upset by Chongming's word "subordinates", so he imitated Chongming and attacked him by saying that he wanted to be "famous". Chongming got angry. Chongming
's anger was also quite calm. He did not point out what Sikong Zhaixing said that made him unhappy. Instead, he blankly stated the identity of Jin Jiuling's employer, and then mentioned every one of Sikong Zhaixing's previous employers under the astonished gaze of Lu Xiaofeng and Sikong Zhaixing.
After saying five in a row, Sikong Zhaixing offered tea and begged for mercy, forcing him to shut up.
But until the end, Sikong Zhaixing didn't know which sentence angered Chongming.
His anger was obvious, but the reason for his anger was hidden deep.
After Lu Xiaofeng sent Wuqing and others away, he went back and told Sikong Zhaixing the news that Jin Jiuling was the embroidered thief. Sikong Zhaixing was surprised at first, and then speechless.
"It seems that Chongming knew everything from the beginning to the end," Sikong Zhaixing sighed, "No wonder I always feel that he is looking at us as if we are fools."
"It seems that I am not included in it." Lu Xiaofeng said.
"No, you are the biggest fool. Come to think of it, why do you come here like you are at home?" Sikong Zhaixing turned his head and looked at Lu Xiaofeng beside him in confusion.
"Chongming didn't chase me away. It seems that I am more likable than you." Lu Xiaofeng smiled. Sikong
Zhaixing showed an unwilling expression. After all, he was still "subordinate" and "Si" in Chongming's mouth. The difference in treatment made the King of Thieves very dissatisfied. But he jumped into this pit himself. Sikong Zhaixing was unwilling and had no choice.
"He just didn't want to pay attention to you."
Sikong Zhaixing's words were correct.
Lu Xiaofeng looked at Chongming's study. The two of them had been chatting here for so long, but Chongming didn't respond at all.
The two of them even deliberately stood in the yard to talk. As long as you are not deaf, you can probably hear it. It seems that Chongming is really too lazy to pay attention to them.
It's really strange. He clearly said that he wanted to use them to make a name for himself, but he ignored them. Lu Xiaofeng thought.
Sikong Zhaixing deliberately raised his voice and said, "What a weird person."
There was no movement in the study.
"Let's go."
"...Let's go."
In the study, Chongming was writing at his desk, using the conversation between Lu Xiaofeng and Sikong Zhaixing as background music. It must be said that it was very interesting for these two to sing in unison, and Bu Zao was very happy in his heart.
The reason that could make the eldest disciple Ma Jia angry was only related to the master. Sikong Zhaixing said a lot of meaningless garbage, and Bu Zao just ignored it at first, and it went in one ear and out the other. He didn't listen to it at all.
But Sikong Zhaixing asked him where his master came from, and said that his master must be very powerful to have a disciple like him, and then said that he had a weird personality and so on - the second half is not important.
The King of Thieves adheres to the method of testing with a sweet date and then a stick. He even forgot the compliment after he finished speaking, but this remark just fits the setting of the eldest disciple betraying his master.
How can a disciple who betrays his master like to hear others praise his master's teachings?
People in the martial arts world ask where his master came from, and Sikong Zhaixing just said it casually. After a while, Bu Zao took the opportunity to expose Sikong Zhaixing's employers, perfecting and enriching Chongming's twisted and weird personality.
Bu Zao's comments: Sikong Zhaixing's dull expression is very interesting.
The voices of the two people outside the study gradually faded away, and Chongming raised his hand and rubbed his wrist.
The informants collected information for him, and Chongming was responsible for organizing it. Unlike when he played "Jianghu Simulator 1.0", he had to do every penny and every stroke himself. In addition, he had to spend money to buy rewards from the mall for the informants.
For example, the essence of heaven and earth for the little daisy, the wind that never blows down the nest for the swallow, and the mosquito gift bag for the spider... He got the reward, and half of the return gifts were used to pay off debts.
Bu Zao shook his head and sighed. The future world's largest sect was actually in a financial deficit. It was not so miserable when he played the game stand-alone.
[Can't there be a krypton gold function?] Bu Zao asked the system.
The system was silent for a while: [Dear players, please know that there is no such thing as krypton gold in this game mode. As long as you spend money, it is already considered krypton gold. 】
【Don't you feel sorry for me when you see me working so hard on the game】 Bu Zao continued to copy the news and chattered nonsense.
The system checked the situation of each vest and questioned it: 【Dear player, as far as I know, the situation of the third disciple cannot be called hard. 】
It is better to say that it is very comfortable. He is relying on his strength to do whatever he wants and occupy the mountain as the king. There is also a vest that serves as a mascot——a little salted fish wearing the sect's logo and acting cute, eating and drinking for free.
【That's different. 】
Bu Zao said righteously. As for what is different, he didn't say.
〖The system expressed doubts about the player's statement. 〗
