Kyushu · Endless Nagato

Chapter 84 People always meet again in unexpected places (2)
A few months ago, An Xingmian sought the help of Mr. Yuwen in order to find out the truth about the emperor's killing of the head monk. Since then, he also knew that behind Mr. Yuwen's popular appearance, there is a huge and unstoppable hidden secret. Telltale ambition.Now, when rescuing Xue Huaiqing, because of Feng Yiming's request, the name of Mr. Yuwen quickly flashed in his mind.But he didn't expect that this new friend whom he met not long ago was also involved in the whole incident.

Since Mr. Yuwen is the eldest grandson of the great general, his family is naturally located in Tianqi City, the imperial capital, but he travels around all the year round and rarely returns home.The house where he lives the most is in Huai'an City in Wanzhou.Huai'an is the second largest city in Wanzhou. Although it is less prosperous than Nanhuai, it has more convenient transportation than Nanhuai.Young Master Yuwen set up his headquarters here, naturally for the convenience of making friends from all over the world.

There is only one gatekeeper at the gate of this house, and there are no other guards in sight. Friends in the market can walk in without a word at the gate.In the house, there is always food to eat, wine to drink, and a bed to sleep in. If you are short of money and need emergency help, just ask the accountant, Mr. Yuwen will never refuse to lend money to others.Of course, if you think you can come here to cheat money, you are wrong.Everyone here is Mr. Yuwen's ready-made voluntary scouts. More than once someone tried to cheat money here, but was identified by the well-informed guests, and then was beaten half to death and thrown out.Later, no one dared to come here to cheat, but the reputation of this house became more and more famous day by day, and people wanted to give it a famous nickname. Finally, Mr. Yuwen solved the problem by himself.

"Let's treat this as a big inn for friends, come and go freely, anyone can come here as a guest," said Mr. Yuwen, "let's call it 'Inn'."

Later, he actually wrote the words "Inn" in hand, and asked his servants to make a plaque and hang it at the gate.Since then, Mr. Yuwen's name has become even louder.

However, in this inn that looks more lively than the vegetable market, there are still some unknown secrets hidden, and they are deadly secrets.

One night in September, Mr. Yuwen had a drink with some new friends, and returned to the small building where he lived with a little drunk.Similar to the gate, there are only two kind-looking guards outside the small building. They always treat any guests who ask to see Mr. Yuwen patiently and never put on any airs.

What people don't know is that these two people can only be seen on the surface. There are dozens of guards with high martial arts skills hidden near the small building. They can ensure that no one with evil intentions can enter the small building. Discover the secret of Mr. Yuwen.

Now Mr. Yuwen is moving towards this secret.He walked into the simple study room that had received countless guests, took out the second book from the left from the third shelf, and the seventh book from the right from the fourth shelf, and then put his hands into the gap after removing the books place, flipped the mechanism.This mechanism is designed very carefully, because ordinary people can't reach these two places at the same time even if they stretch out their hands, but Mr. Yuwen has learned some strange skills, which can temporarily lengthen the bones of the arm, so that he can reach the two places at the same time. .

After the mechanism was turned, a trap on the wall next to the bookcase moved away soundlessly, revealing a big hole, Mr. Yuwen got in through the hole, and the trap quickly closed again.

Now Mr. Yuwen is standing in a secret room, there are several copper pillars with metal chains on them, but now most of the chains are idle, only one copper pillar is tied with a man covered in bruises.There was almost no complete piece of flesh on this person's body, and the blood stains on his face made it difficult to see his appearance clearly, but under the blood stains, his eyes were still full of fierce light, showing some kind of unyielding vitality.

"These eyes of yours really remind me of the wolves in Hanzhou Grassland," said Mr. Yuwen. "It's a pity that all the wolves I met who wanted to eat me died in my hands."

The bound prisoner snorted hard: "Death by your hands is nothing to be afraid of."

Mr. Yuwen shrugged his shoulders: "Sometimes I really admire you Tianqi. You have been killed again and again, and you are close to being destroyed again and again, but you can be like sparks in the ashes, seize the opportunity and burn again."

"You don't have to admire it, because you don't know how to drive the sky." The prisoner said contemptuously.

Mr. Yuwen seemed to not take the other party's contempt at all: "I don't care if I understand or not. The relationship between people does not necessarily require mutual understanding. For example, destruction and crushing do not need to be understood at all. "

"Perhaps now you are eager to destroy me quickly," said the prisoner. "You have tried 37 punishments on me, but you still can't pry my mouth open. Maybe you still have 370 punishments. I'm waiting for you."

"My patience is limited," Mr. Yuwen sighed. "Although I really need an answer, I can't spend all my time on you alone. You are a man with a strong will and are not afraid of any torture. I am very happy." Admired, but not necessarily women. Do you know what I mean?"

"You... you mean... her?" The prisoner's voice changed suddenly, and there seemed to be a hint of fear.

"Yes, your beloved female companion, the master assassin, has appeared in Ningnan City, and her purpose must be the same as mine," said Mr. Yuwen, "So, if you are willing to send Everything I want to know tells me that I don't have to invite her, and she can live her life freely. Otherwise, I might really prepare 370 ways to invite her to taste one by one. You don't care about your own life or death, so would you care about her life or death?"

When Mr. Yuwen spoke, he always had a charming smile on his face, and his tone was gentle and gentle, as if he was having a heart-to-heart conversation with an old friend, but the prisoner's whole body began to tremble slightly, as if standing in front of him was a bloodthirsty wolf .This wolf does not really eat flesh and drink blood, but possesses a terrifying power to pierce directly into the heart of others.In front of him, even the Iron Man would find it hard not to give in.

The masked female scout was still the same as in the past. She didn't like to babble any unnecessary nonsense, and she didn't have any routines of reuniting with old friends. She repeated her opening line as soon as she opened her mouth: "Please don't mention other people's names. I remember I told you But I don't have a name and I don't know anyone."

"I understand, just don't mention his name," An Xingmian said, "Huiqing is in his hands, right?"

"You guessed right, Snow Maiden is indeed with that person now, but the courtesy is very considerate, you don't have to worry," the female scout said, "He asked me to apologize to you first, because he would never use such a trick on his friends. Extraordinary means, but now the situation is urgent, it is a last resort."

"What a friend, what a last resort..." An Xingmian laughed angrily, "What exactly does he want to do?"

He was slightly surprised by the female scout's answer: "Actually, this time, he didn't come for the Snow Maiden. The Snow Maiden was just a windfall."

"An unexpected harvest? Then what is the unexpected harvest... Wait!" An Xingmian suddenly realized, "He actually wanted to find me, for Sa Xijiao, right?"

"So, you and Snow Maiden are really a match made in heaven," the female scout said a very unrelated sentence, "If you two are not together, who else can be together?"

"Hearing this makes me feel nauseous." An Xingmian muttered.

Just kidding, in An Xingmian's heart, he couldn't tell whether he was worried or slightly happy.After he got acquainted with Xue Huaiqing, he found that the two seemed to have no relationship, but there were always some external events that closely linked them.A year ago, he tried to save Nagato, and Xue Huaiqing tried to find out the truth about the tragedy of his adoptive father's family. One of these two events involved the life and death of an ancient organization, and the other was just an insignificant mountain village. The personal tragedies of the husband and wife seemed irrelevant, but no one expected that these two events would be entangled in the end, and their fates would also be entangled.

Now it's like this again.Some people are looking for Xue Huaiqing's parents, and some people are coveting this feather clan magic weapon on their body. On the surface, they are two independent incidents, but judging from the current situation, there may be a conflict between the two. some strange connections.

"So, Yuwen...what does that person need from me to let us go?" An Xingmian asked.

"He will explain it to you face to face," the female scout said, "He wants me to tell you that for this incident, he will definitely personally apologize to you, and is willing to pay any price to make amends to you two."

"The premise is that the two of us meet his request first, otherwise, if he doesn't make amends, I'm afraid we will have to pay for our lives." An Xingmian shrugged, "But that's the only way. In other words, I have to follow you to Wanzhou ?”

"No, just go south to Lanzhou. He's already waiting for you there," said the female scout. "Miss Xue has already left this afternoon and is on the way there. But sorry, I can't take you away." The same way. Until meeting with him, the two of you cannot see each other for a while."

"Understood, let's leave at dawn tomorrow," An Xingmian nodded, "But I'm still curious, how did he have such a great ability to snatch Huaiqing from the heavy guards of the Yuren? You know, according to your According to the saying, he just had a temporary idea, not a well-planned plan long ago."

"The network he has woven is far beyond your imagination," the female scout said lightly. "In fact, that house originally belonged to him as a secret property, ready to be used at certain critical moments. His eyeliner in ambush is far more than the dead one."

An Xingmian felt that he had once again touched Mr. Yuwen's ambition.Just as Feng Yiming's grand plan does not only include the city-state of Huo Qintu, Mr. Yuwen is not only coveted by the Donglu Dynasty.He couldn't help thinking that maybe only when Feng Yiming became an adult, the city-state would be able to resist the invasion of Mr. Yuwen.Feng Yiming's confrontation with Mr. Yuwen... That is definitely a wonderful chapter worthy of being written in a street stall novel.

While An Xingmian was having trouble sleeping all night because of these ups and downs, Xue Huaiqing was lying in a comfortable carriage and being sent to the port in southern Ningzhou.There, she will change boats and cross the Huoling Strait to the south to meet with Mr. Yuwen in Lanzhou.The female scout did not deceive An Xingmian, she was indeed treated with courtesy along the way, but the three masters who led her away also made it very clear: if she tried to play any tricks, they would be forced to use tough methods.

Xue Huaiqing did not play tricks.Although her body has recovered a lot, she is still weaker than ordinary people. She cannot walk for a long time, and she may fall off when riding a horse. In such an environment, it is almost impossible for her to escape with her own strength.These three masters are all extraordinary, otherwise it would be impossible to snatch her from under Yuren's nose. Even if she is completely healthy, she can't see the chance of winning with these three.

But she also did not give up hope, because after mastering that new cultivation method, her mental power grew at an extremely fast rate.In the past, she could control up to five corpse servants, but now, according to her feeling, eight or nine or even ten would not be a problem.

So she just kept her face and didn't make any trouble along the way.Three days later, the carriage arrived at the seaport city in the south of Ningzhou, Fire Weary City.Looking from a distance, you can see white sails dotted on the sea, and countless ships come and go here, which makes this small town show a busy vitality.

As an important entrance to the sea, Fire Weary City has always been a battleground for military strategists during the war. Even now that Kyushu is temporarily peaceful, the defense here is still not relaxed at all.But Mr. Yuwen seems to have the ability to reach the sky. The four of them all have strong identity certificates and passing documents, and boarded a large passenger ship heading south to Lanzhou without any hindrance.Under normal circumstances, a fast ship can cross the strait in one day. If such a large passenger ship goes slowly, two days are enough.

"Why didn't Mr. Yuwen simply send a boat to pick us up?" Xue Huaiqing asked.

"Because that's too ostentatious," replied the escort, or one of the experts who escorted her. "Unless it is absolutely necessary, the tiger should not show its minions easily."

Xue Huaiqing wished that the tiger would not show its minions.If it was the boat sent by Mr. Yuwen, there is no doubt that the boat is full of his subordinates, so it is difficult to find an opportunity to take advantage of it; now that she is mixed with a boat of strangers, she may have a chance to cause chaos and then escape while taking advantage of the chaos.

The condition of this passenger ship is average, although there are no luxurious cabins, at least there are some separate cabins for people with a little money.The four of them naturally reserved a cabin and kept away from outsiders.

Xue Huaiqing still had a listless virtuous character with all the bones broken. As soon as she entered the cabin, she shrank to the bed as if closing her eyes and resting her mind, but her ears listened intently to the movement outside the cabin.She did have some poison hidden on her body, but the three escorts were all experts, she didn't dare to attack them lightly, she only hoped that someone could bring animals on board.Animals are much more sensitive to smells than humans, and if drugs can be used to drive these animals crazy, then we can make a fuss out of the chaos.

But she didn't expect that her luck was really good, and the things on board were far better than animals.That was when there was only a short time left before sailing, and the boatman was about to retract the deck, when suddenly there was a loud noise on the deck.The voices of those arguing were extremely loud, and Xue Huaiqing's ears were already sharp, and it was easy to hear the content of the quarrel.

"The three of them are my brothers, my own brothers!" a man's voice roared, "Why can't they be allowed on board?"

"According to the regulations, they just can't get on the boat!" The boatman who answered was not polite at all.

"Didn't we pay the ship's fare?"

"Of course the money was paid, but you didn't make it clear when you paid, and they still can't get on the boat. I can refund the money to you."

"Retire your old lady! Why can't you get on the boat?"

"This ship does not accept dead people!"

Xue Huaiqing slowly understood what they were arguing about. It turned out that three male humans were trying to bring three corpses onto the boat.This is a family of six brothers who went from Lanzhou to Ningzhou to work as miners. They worked hard and managed to save some money. On the way home, they encountered robbers from the Yu clan. Two brothers were shot dead on the spot, and the third The injury dragged on for more than ten days, but he still died.So the three surviving brothers each carried a dead body and wanted to take the dead body back to their hometown in Lanzhou for burial.It is conceivable that these three people must be in a bad mood, and they especially hate Yuren, but any ship owner would hesitate to let three corpses aboard.

The two sides quarreled for a long time, the three brothers probably had accumulated too much anger, and they were about to steal the guy and the boatmen desperately, and the six brothers died three at once, which was a great tragedy that aroused sympathy anyway.Moreover, the Huoling Strait is not too wide, and two days have passed, so after the three agreed to add more wallets and go to a private cabin, and promised not to bring the dead body to the deck, the captain still reluctantly agreed to let them board. the boat.

For others, this is just a little more chatter after dinner, but for Xue Huaiqing, she suddenly has three corpses to drive around!And luckily, the cabin where the three corpses are located is not far from Xue Huaiqing's cabin, and there is only another cabin in between. Driven from a distance.
