The boss opened the purse and saw what was inside. His face was full of smiles. "My dear friends, please come back in three days. I will give you a satisfactory answer then!"
The deposit was paid, and the details were explained, but when the three-day deadline came, they didn't see the person they wanted to see. After the boss apologized profusely, Mo Yu almost tore down his tailor shop: "What do you mean by this!"
The boss hurriedly nodded and explained, "It seems that something unexpected happened to the Song family. I'm afraid the Song brothers won't be able to take on any work in the near future."
Li Xinzhai sneered, "Oh, even so, the money has already been given, you have to give me an explanation."
The boss saw that the two were not easy to deal with. If they just said something nonsense to prevaricate, it would not be worth it after calculating the loss.
"Master Hei, your name is known to everyone in the black market. Even if I had the guts to tell you the truth, I wouldn't dare to hide it from you. I heard that the fifth and seventh sons of the Song family were found dead at the foot of the Bugui Peak. When their bodies were found, they were holding a bag of jewelry with the Bugui Peak logo on them."
Mo Yu frowned slightly. Judging from Li Xinzhai's extravagant spending, being an assassin, although a shameful job, was high-risk and high-reward.
The Song family has seven brothers, and they don't look like people who are short of money. "They are not short of money either. How dare they provoke Bugui Peak? They must have nothing better to do."
The shopkeeper looked at Mo Yu in surprise and said, "The speed at which this man changes his expression is truly terrifying. "According to rumors, the seven Song brothers want to buy land and retire. This family has their eyes on a good piece of land, but they don't have enough money. The seven Song brothers usually go on missions together, so they ask for a lot of money. I guess it's the fifth and seventh brothers who took on some private work and got into big trouble."
"After saying so much, I can't leave out yours." After saying that, Li Xinzhai put the deposit that the tailor shop owner had just returned on the table.
The boss took the things and said with an apologetic smile, "Thank you, Master Hei! Although the Song brothers are temporarily not accepting business, they still have many suitable candidates. Master Hei, do you want to..."
Li Xinzhai waved his hand and said, "No need. No one else can satisfy my request."
"That's a shame, Mr. Hei, take care and come often!"
After leaving the tailor shop, in order to avoid being eavesdropped, the two waited until they were out of the city and made sure that no one was following them before they started talking about the news they had just learned.
As for the affairs of the martial arts world, Mo Yu had never paid attention to any other forces except for a few more famous ones. He had only heard his immortal master occasionally mention the Bugui Peak in the past, but his master had also said at that time that this group of people were just living in seclusion on the Bugui Peak, working from sunrise to sunset, and seemed to not care about either the disputes in the temple or the affairs of the martial arts world.
"What do you think?"
Li Xinzhai analyzed, "Bugui Peak wouldn't attack a nameless, powerless woman. There must be some trick going on."
Mo Yu thought for a moment and suggested, "You're saying there's a scam. It seems you think Bugui Peak is suspicious. So, why not go and take a look to clear up any doubts? After all, we've been going around in circles and are back to square one."
Upon hearing this, Li Xinzhai shook his head and said, "How can we see it? The poison barrier stretching for dozens of miles at the foot of Bugui Peak is beyond the reach of you and me."
Mo Yu smiled slightly and reminded: "Just because we can't do it doesn't mean others can't. As far as I know, there is someone among the people you and I know who can do it."
If he wasn't mistaken, there must be some connection between the fake princess who looked so similar to Tang Chen and Bugui Peak. When he released the woman that day, he saw her respectfully escorted to meet a group of white-clad men. People often have secrets they can't share with others. Perhaps Chen Xin really does have some intricate connection to a clan of hermits.
Among the people Li Xinzhai knew, the first person he thought of when talking about medical skills was naturally Chen Xin. If it were him, he might actually have a way to get them safely into the No Return Peak. "You mean, ask Chen Xin for help?"
Mo Yu had a look on his face that said, "Don't talk nonsense," and said, "I didn't say that. You said it yourself."
...Tang Chen was half asleep, and only vaguely felt as if someone had touched him and said something. Strangely, the person's voice seemed a little familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before. Where?
Xiahou Qing sees himself as a shadow-like being. Since he's a shadow, he shouldn't have a face of his own. He holds hundreds of human skin masks, representing men, women, young and old.
As long as he wanted, he could disguise himself as anyone he wanted. However, the only thing he could never learn was changing his voice.
After confirming that Tang Chen was still unconscious, Xiahou Qing looked at her seriously: "...Take her hands away. I see that she is still subconsciously holding her stomach even when she is unconscious. Check to see if she has anything hidden around her waist."
After searching Tang Chen carefully, the man in black reported, "Pavilion Master, we found nothing."
Xiahou Qing nodded slightly and said, "First, find a place to lock her up and treat her well. Just don't let her talk to anyone else, don't let her leave her room, and don't let her commit suicide."
"yes."
...After receiving Lin Xinzhai's letter, Chen Xin handed over all the forces and tasks related to Liuxiang Wine Shop and Qingliang Valley in the capital within two days.
After sorting out the things at hand, Chen Xin returned to the Duke's Mansion and quietly packed up his things: "Shuyi, I have to go out for a while. I need you to take care of the affairs in the capital."
Liang Shuyi held the clothes in her hands, lowered her eyes and thought for a long time before she said, "...Can I not go?"
Chen Xin knew what she was worried about, but Lin Xinzhai's letter this time was really worrying: "Brother Li's pigeon letter really makes people worry. Although he didn't say much in the letter, from my understanding of him, if he didn't encounter something urgent, he would definitely not ask for help easily."
Liang Shuyi sighed deeply, straightened the wrinkled clothes in his hand and handed them to Chen Xin: "Alas, why do we have to fight?"
After Chen Xin gently hugged Liang Shuyi, she patted her back and said, "No one wants this, but...ah, I'll go see Shuang'er again."
The adorable baby in the cradle was still sound asleep, her tightly clasped hands occasionally raised and waved. Looking at the ever-changing expressions on her face, I wondered what she was dreaming about.
