Chapter 119 Temptation
Before Liu Xixi could change the room, she was sitting at the table taking medicine. The door of the room was pushed open roughly. Liu Xixi looked at Luo Dongcheng walking into the door in surprise and said in surprise: "Sir Luo..."
Luo Dongcheng ignored her and searched indoors first, but did not see the screen. The big hole that had just been broken on the roof was still there, which was shocking.
"Where is the screen?"
Liu Xixi stood up with Cui'er's support: "As soon as something happened, how dare we leave the screen here? It's been taken away by someone."
Luo Dongcheng walked towards Liu Xixi step by step, staring at her and said, "Take it away? Who took it away?"
Liu Sanniang's voice came from outside: "Master Luo, why are you so fierce? Don't be scared to Xiaoxiao. I took it away. If you want to see, I will take it for you again. Uncle He, go quickly and take the broken screen back."
Luodongcheng looked at Liu Xixi. Liu Xixi did not show any timidity under his gaze. She stood with Cui'er's support, and her face was full of illness to make me look quite innocent.
Gu Xiefei said: "The demonic energy here has been dissipated." He could tell that Liu Xixi was definitely not a demon, and everyone present was not a demon, but the connection between Wanhualou and the old demon woman could not be ruled out.
An old man hunchbacked took the screen back. The demon woman just fled, but the screen was damaged. Luo Dongcheng and Gu Xiefei walked over to study it. There was still a demonic energy left on the screen. The blind old woman was invisible in the screen at that time.
Liu Sanniang curled her lips and said, "No need to look at it. If you want to check it, just take it away. I have something to say first. Our Wanhualou has nothing to do with this matter."
Qin Lang thought to himself, how could it be such a coincidence? First, the red fox and the crow spirit hid in the water pavilion in the back garden of Wanhua Tower, and now the old woman driving the corpse invisible screen. Why do these monsters all choose to hide in Wanhua Tower? Are the two things coincidental?
Luo Dongcheng stood up and said, "Who gave you the screen?"
Liu Xixi said: "It's not convenient to say."
Luo Dongcheng sternly said: "Say!"
Liu Xixi said: "Miss Chen Weiyu and Miss Chen."
Luo Dongcheng was stunned. Unexpectedly, he found the head of the eldest lady of the Siming family. It was a little strange. Liu Xixi was a fairy woman. How could Chen Weiyu know her? She even made a special gift.
Luo Dongcheng took the screen away and did not continue to ask questions. After all, Liu Xixi's words were one-sided words and needed to be confirmed by Chen Weiyu.
Gu Xiefei signaled Qin Lang to go with him, but Qin Lang asked him to go out and wait first. He had a few words to say to Liu Xi alone.
Gu Xiefei didn't know what Qin Lang sold in the gourd, but he believed that Qin Lang had a good reason to do so.
Liu Sanniang muttered: "Is it over? Didn't Lord Luo ask? Why do you still ask?"
Liu Xixi smiled indifferently and said, "Auntie, it's okay, you go out first." Because Qin Lang asked to ask alone, she even sent out her maid Cui'er, and she couldn't help but feel a little alert. Luo Dongcheng had already left, what else do this person want to ask?
After everyone left, Qin Lang closed the door.
Liu carefully looked at Qin Lang's back. This was their second meeting today.
"Sir, I'm sick..."
Qin Lang suddenly pulled out the Yanling sword and stabbed Liu Xixi's throat with a knife. Liu Xixi did not move, and her pretty face, which was originally bloodless, looked paler, her eyes were full of fear, and she showed a bit of nervousness and a little innocent.
The blade with a cold light was only half an inch away from the snow-white throat. After all, the hard training was not in vain. Qin Lang was free to retract this knife.
Liu Xi said in a trembling voice: "Sir... what do you... mean?"
Qin Lang still pointed at Liu Xixi's throat with the blade. When the demon woman shot out the bone nail from the screen just now, Liu Xixi responded immediately. She protected her maid Cui'er. Qin Lang's sword speed was much slower than the bone nail, but Liu Xixi did not react at all.
By comparing the two, we can tell that Liu Xixi's performance is abnormal, and this woman must have problems.
Qin Lang said: "It's not interesting, I'm just joking with Miss Liu."
"Just kidding?" Liu Xixi looked at Qin Lang calmly, but the fear in her eyes gradually disappeared. It was not as simple as joking. This person must have doubted himself.
"you understand me."
Liu Xixi shook her head and said, "I don't understand. I am a dull woman. I can't figure it out if I don't make it clear."
Qin Lang took the knife back and turned around and seemed to be about to leave. Liu Xixi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly Qin Lang stabbed her backwards again at the neck. This knife was more than twice as fast as before. Faced with a terrifying knife, Liu Xixi could no longer maintain her calmness. Her delicate body twisted and turned into a white shadow and suddenly retreated.
Qin Lang's slash ended at a sudden end in the middle. If Liu Xixi kept it still, the slash would still be only half an inch away from her neck. The first slash deliberately slowed down, and the real test was the second slash. The second slash, which had accelerated more than twice as fast as the first slash, would not seem so thrilling without the comparison of the first slash.
Liu Xixi finally failed to withstand the test of the second sword. Looking at Qin Lang's Yanling sword that was stagnant in the void, Liu Xixi's face became paler, biting her cherry lips tightly, staring at Qin Lang coldly.
Qin Lang even put the knife into the sheath and smiled and said, "Miss Liu hid it very deeply."
Liu Xixi said: "Why do you need to hide it? I have practiced martial arts since I was a child, which is the fact." He calmed down his hair on his forehead, his eyes calm, and his beautiful eyes were as bright as a flat lake.
"Why should Miss Liu stay in such a place with her skills?"
Liu Xixi's lips showed a faint smile, and her pale face showed a little charm: "Everyone has their own ambitions, I like this kind of life. Aren't you the same? The adopted son of the dignified censor wanted to go to the Demon Sect to be a small Yin Xun guard. If you said that there was no other purpose, you might not believe it yourself."
Qin Lang smiled and said, "I have a purpose."
“I have, too!”
"The witch made trouble in the cemetery last night, summoned the walking zombie, and dug out the Sang family's ancestral tomb. If Miss Liu knew about it, it would be better not to hide it, otherwise it would be very likely to cause trouble."
Liu Xixi didn't seem to know about the cemetery. After hearing Qin Lang say it, she sighed and said, "Whether you believe it or not, I don't know that the screen is strange. I just told Lord Luo that the screen was given to me by Miss Chen, why don't you ask her?"
Qin Lang nodded and walked out the door, not believing Liu Xixi's words.
Liu Xixi's voice sounded behind him: "Mr. Qin, come often when you have time."
Qin Lang opened the door and saw Liu Sanniang turning around outside. He was obviously lying at the door and eavesdropping just now. Qin Lang said, "All the losses today are counted on the head of the Demon-Suppressing Department." Who wouldn't say a big word? Anyway, he doesn't have to pay the bill.
He and Gu Xiefei left Wanhua Building. Gu Xiefei couldn't wait to ask Qin Lang what he did in the room just now? In Gu Xiefei's thinking, there would never be any good things for a lonely man and a widow to be locked in a small room, but the time seemed a bit short.
Qin Lang said: "This Liu Xixi is not simple. He insisted that the screen was given to her by Chen Weiyu. Following this line and then I found Chen Qiongnian's place."
Gu Xiefei said: "To deal with women, you need to use both soft and hard skills. You can't just play hard. At critical moments, you have to say a few soft words, or even sacrifice your color."
"Lao Gu, it sounds like you understand women very much."
Gu Xiefei said: "I haven't eaten pork and haven't seen pigs run?"
The two stopped at the same time because they found that Luodongcheng had not gone far and were setting up with several guards from the Demon-Superior Division in front of them, but they wanted to closely monitor Wanhua Tower.
Luo Dongcheng took the initiative to walk towards them.
Qin Lang said: "Do you have any eyebrows?"
Luo Dongcheng shook his head: "Guard Qin, there is something I want you to go there myself."
Qin Lang guessed nothing good. Sure enough, Luo Dongcheng asked him to go to Chen's mansion in Jiattwo Lane on Zhuque Street to investigate the source of the screen. Because Liu Xixi said that the screen was given to her by Chen Weiyu, if you want to implement this matter, you must find Chen Weiyu. Luo Dongcheng didn't want to face such a difficult thing directly, so he simply pushed it to Qin Lang.
Qin Lang secretly scolded Luo Dongcheng for being cunning, but Luo Dongcheng was afraid of offending the Chen family, so he was not afraid. He seized the opportunity to disgust the Chen family. Isn’t it the task given to him by his godmother, so Qin Lang took over this thankless task.
He and Gu Xiefei divided the troops into two groups. Gu Xiefei was preparing to go back to the cemetery and then search for clues about whether there were any omissions. Qin Lang went straight to Zhuque Street and came to the road in front of Chen's mansion. A carriage passed by him.
When Qin Lang came to the door and asked, what he had just passed was the carriage of the eldest lady of the Chen family, and he actually missed it.
Qin Lang did not ask Chen Weiyu where he went from the ward. He could only go back to the inn first and come back in the afternoon.
On the way back, I passed Puyun Temple and saw several carriages parked in front of the door. Qin Lang recognized at a glance that one of them was the one who came out of the Chen Mansion just now. According to common sense, Chen Weiyu should have burned incense at Puyun Temple.
Qin Lang decided to go in and take a look. It would be better to meet Chen Weiyu here.
Without spending much effort, Chen Weiyu, who was dressed as a man, was found in the Manjushri Palace.
Chen Weiyu was wearing a white robe and praying alone. Qin Lang walked into the hall and knelt down beside Chen Weiyu.
Chen Weiyu was very pious. After praying, she found Qin Lang beside her, and her expression was a little surprised. First of all, she thought that Qin Lang's appearance must have been no coincidence, so she stood up and left the Manjushri Palace.
Qin Lang really followed her out: "Miss Chen?"
Chen Weiyu turned around and looked at Qin Lang and said, "Guard Qin, what a coincidence." The name she called Qin Lang proved that she knew that Qin Lang had entered the Demon Suppression Department and became a guard of Yin Xun.
