"......" Tang Chen secretly complained in his heart, damn it, there are still things you don't know, you loser!
Song Wu said: "These things have nothing to do with us. Hurry up, we still have to get to the place and deliver the goods before dark."
"Okay!"
...When the carriage that had been running wildly and shaking Tang Chen to the point of shaking and trembling came to a stop, the Song brothers did not give her time to relax. They pulled her out of the box and threw her on the ground.
In a flash, just when Tang Chen was about to make close contact with Mother Earth, he rolled over and protected his abdomen with his hands. When he landed on the ground, he was safe and sound: "Be gentle, I'm a human, not a pig!"
Tang Chen was stunned. Oh, she could actually speak!
The two Song brothers glanced at her and then said nothing. They just sat there facing west, anxiously waiting for something.
Tang Chen didn't dare to run away, nor could he beat them in a fight, and he was afraid that they would feed him some weird medicine or press his acupoints or something; in desperation, he could only wait for them very quietly; apart from being very calm, he had no awareness of being a hostage.
Song Wu saw someone coming towards him from the foot of a mountain not far away. He suddenly pulled up Song Xiaoqi, who was sitting on the ground in a daze, and said, "They are coming."
In the twilight, a group of people in white, draped in the fading sunset glow, drifted slowly from the distance, burdened by the darkness. Seeing this, Tang Chen cautiously stood up from the ground: "Are they human or ghosts..."
"Shut up!"
The people who came were all dressed in snow-white, with their heads and faces covered. Without saying a word, they just squatted down and looked at Tang Chen carefully, then stood up and threw a bag of jewelry in front of the Song brothers.
After Song Laowu simply confirmed the weight and authenticity of the jewelry in his arms, he took the things and left the carriage with Song Xiaoqi without even asking for them. The two of them squeezed onto one horse and left the place quickly.
Tang Chen was about to struggle when he saw the man in white lightly sweep his sleeves, a puff of white smoke floated over, he rolled his eyes, and fell down again.
After confirming that Tang Chen was not in Qingliang Valley, Li Xinzhai and Mo Yu quickly rushed to Yingzhou, the nearest city. Mo Yu rarely had the opportunity to come down the mountain to meet people, so he had naturally never been to Yingzhou. If Li Xinzhai hadn't been so sad and silent all day, he would have wanted to spend a few days wandering around Yingzhou.
However, having just experienced the cruelty of the battlefield, I came to this county town not far from Qingliang Valley, and looking at the prosperous and peaceful scene before me, I always felt a little unhappy.
After Li Xinzhai wandered around the city silently for a while, Mo Yu couldn't stand it anymore and pushed him against the wall they passed by.
"Wake up, is it Tang Chen who is lost or your soul?"
Li Xinzhai stared at him blankly, as if he had truly lost one of his three souls and seven spirits. Mo Yu straightened Li Xinzhai's face and said, "Look at me, I told you to look at me!"
Mo Yu really couldn't bear to see Li Xinzhai like this. The junior brother he knew would never show such a stupid look, absolutely not: "You are the only one who can help her now. Even Wang Yanzhou can't do anything. She can only rely on you. If you continue to be absent-minded like this all day long, how can you save her? Do you really want to see her corpse the next time you meet? One corpse, two lives, do you understand!"
"I..." Li Xinzhai was about to say something when he was interrupted by Mo Yu: "What do you mean by 'you'? Aren't you usually very arrogant? Don't let me look down on you!"
Li Xinzhai stared calmly into Mo Yu's eyes and said, "No, that, I, I'm not in a daze..."
Mo Yu roared: "Then what are you doing, sleepwalking?"
Li Xinzhai explained: "I lowered my head to look for a shop in the black market. I'm not very familiar with Yingzhou, so..."
Upon hearing this, Mo Yu's hands, which were firmly pressing on Li Xinzhai's shoulders, trembled slightly: "...Ahem, well, did you find it?"
Li Xinzhai smiled and shook his head: "It wasn't me who found it, it was you."
"......" Upon hearing this, Mo Yu had already retracted his restless hands, and stood in front of Li Xinzhai with his hands behind his back, with an expressionless face, like a mentally retarded person.
Li Xinzhai pointed to an inconspicuous pear blossom mark at the foot of the wall he had just leaned against and said, "It's right here. I was just wondering how you discovered the secret mark they left on the wall..."
Mo Yu said calmly, "I don't know much about the black market. I remember that Liuxiang Liquor Store also has some activities in the black market. I wonder if they can be of any help."
Li Xinzhai held his forehead and thought, "I don't think Wang Yanzhou has told the people in the black market about this matter. It wouldn't hurt to go and take a look. Be careful with your words and don't let the news leak out."
"......" Mo Yu probably didn't intend to listen to him at all, and ran into the tailor shop first.
As Li Xinzhai entered the room, the shopkeeper, who had just been entertaining customers with cloth and clothes, handed the customer over to the clerk and greeted him with a smile: "Hey, isn't this Mr. Hei? How did you find time to come here? Come and have some tea!"
When Mo Yu looked at Li Xinzhai with some doubt, Li Xinzhai just gave him a reassuring look and said, "Of course I came here for something."
When the boss saw that there was a big deal, the smile on his face became even more intense: "Two gentlemen, please come inside!"
After the waiter brought the tea, the tailor shop owner exchanged a few pleasantries before getting down to business: "How can I help you two?"
Mo Yu said bluntly: "We want to kill people."
When the boss heard this, he thought the man was joking. Black Crow's name was known to everyone. An assassin of his level, unlike others, dared to show his face. Otherwise, how could he have discovered this big deal at a glance?
"Look at what you two are saying. Of course, there's no need to mention Hei Ye. Although this gentleman doesn't look familiar, he's obviously a powerful figure."
Mo Yu could tell that this guy was just as talkative as Tang Chen. To prevent him from wasting more time, Mo Yu simply started to talk nonsense: "You have to answer whatever I ask."
“Yes, yes, yes!”
Li Xinzhai gestured to Mo Yu to be polite and let go first, then said, "We can't do anything with this person, so we can only find someone to do it for us."
The boss didn't lay the groundwork like before and asked directly, "What kind of killer are you two looking for?"
Li Xinzhai pretended to think for a moment before speaking, "Brother Song, have you been taking any business lately?"
"Of course, but..." Before the boss could finish his words, Li Xinzhai raised his hand and threw the purse from his waist over to him, saying, "Just consider this as a deposit. As long as you can get someone here, you will definitely get some benefits."
