"Speaking of Fat Baby, his original name was Lei. His mother left home and disappeared after giving birth to him. His father was hit to death by a foreign carriage while passing by the horse road in his early years. He has no relatives except a grandmother."
The uncle who bought clothes sighed and said, "The two of them have been selling fried cakes in the alley for two or three years. Recently, I found that the old lady seemed to be in poor health and was getting thinner and thinner...
I didn’t expect...sigh..."
"Uncle Wang..." The fat boy was hugged by him and cried profusely.
Uncle Wang quickly bought a bunch of small candy figures from the side and handed them to him, but he still couldn't stop the child from crying.
"This is a little thought. Please take good care of him..." Lin Xin didn't know what to say. After being silent for a while, he just took out some broken silver, about a dozen taels, and forced it on him.
"You can't help it, I won't be the person if I take your money!" Uncle Wang was very excited, but he was not as strong as Lin Xinda, so he stuffed it into his hand.
"Leave it to the fat kid from now on. This little guy will have a lot of money to spend in the future. Meeting each other means we are destined." Lin Xin strode away without looking back.
He did not make any stop, but went directly to the Peacock Gate headquarters where Kong Yuhui was located. Regarding this epidemic, he planned to inquire carefully about the situation and what exactly the six-winged bees were.
*******************
Next to the six-story attic with a yellow roof and red bricks, there are large expanses of dark green woods, and bursts of shouts of people practicing boxing can be heard from the woods.
On the fifth floor of the attic, the windows were open, and there was a banquet table, three stacks of side dishes and a jug of wine.
Kong Yuhui and Lin Xin sat opposite each other, with two timid maids waiting beside them. The breeze blew, bringing with it a faint chill.
"Brother Lin Xian came back. He seemed to be very worried. He must have asked me about something?" Kong Yuhui has always been shrewd, so he naturally saw that Lin Xin came to see him for something. In this Peacock City, it is not necessary to talk about everything in detail.
, but as long as he wants to know, there is nothing he cannot know.
Lin Xin picked up the chopsticks in front of him, picked up a piece of braised rabbit meat, and put it into his mouth.
"I came here to ask Brother Kong carefully what's going on with the epidemic in this city?" He frowned slightly and lowered his voice.
"Why are you concerned about this, dear brother? The epidemic situation has been taken over by the doctors at Shengjitang. There will be no problem and it will be calmed down soon." Kong Yuhui disagreed, "To be honest, this epidemic will happen every late autumn.
, it’s quite common in this Peacock City.”
"I saw someone die in front of me today. It was because of this disease." Lin Xin whispered, and he looked sideways at the maids on the left and right.
Kong Yuhui immediately understood what he meant and waved his hand.
"You go down first."
"yes."
The two maids exited obediently and closed the door as they left.
Lin Xin waited until the footsteps of the maid gradually faded away and went downstairs. He paused and turned his face to look at the sunny autumn sun outside.
"Brother Kong, have you ever heard of a kind of bee that has six wings and only two legs?"
He put down his chopsticks and looked at Kong Yuhui opposite.
Kong Yuhui's face was calm and he seemed not to be moved at all.
He picked up a piece of cold cucumber with chopsticks, put it into his mouth, chewed it and swallowed it.
"Six-winged bees... Dear brother, how can there be such weird bees in this world? You are kidding."
"It's not a joke." Lin Xin said lightly, "Today I saw a six-winged bee crawling out of the ear hole of an old man's corpse. It actually stared at me and was cut into two sections by my sword."
Kong Yuhui's expression did not change, as if he had not heard what he said at all.
Neither of them spoke anymore, and the atmosphere seemed dull for a while.
There was silence for about half a minute. Kong Yuhui put down his chopsticks.
"Brother, I advise you to leave it alone. This is beyond your control."
"What do you mean?" Lin Xin frowned slightly.
Kong Yuhui pondered for a moment.
"To tell you the truth, you can see the six-winged bees because of the Resentment Talisman, and people without the Resentment Talisman would never be able to see this kind of thing. These six-winged bees are not a rarity in our Peacock City.
In fact, many noble people and senior officials know about it. It’s just that we have always maintained our integrity.”
"You mean, this thing is controlled by someone?" Lin Xin heard the implication.
"As for this, dear brother, it's best not to meddle in other people's business, otherwise you and I will not be able to deal with this matter." Kong Yuhui said with some deep meaning.
Lin Xin fell silent immediately, chewing his words carefully.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. You listen to my advice and don't worry about it. It will dissipate naturally in a short time." Kong Yuhui laughed, "I want to tell you some good news here. I originally planned to send someone to inform you.
Yours, I didn’t expect you to take the initiative and come here on your own.”
"What good news?"
"The letter you asked me to send has been delivered. As for the person you are looking for, I have also found it. Do you want to go and have a look together?" Kong Yuhui said with a smile.
"Oh, so fast?"
Lin Xin raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this. He didn't intend to go into details about the six-winged bees. Since Kong Yuhui mentioned it, he naturally meant that there was an inside story in the deep water that he couldn't afford to offend. After all, he
He is not a passionate young man who insists on absolute justice. This kind of thing is just to do the best he can, and he will not be pedantic and insist on it if his own interests are endangered.
"I've found someone, but I just didn't show up to contact him. Let's go together."
Kong Yuhui invited.
Lin Xin temporarily put aside the matter of the fat baby and stood up happily.
**********************
The place where Lin Xin and Kong Yuhui came together was a loft full of feasting and feasting.
The ladies in front of the loft were half-covered and half-revealed, and they kept cooing and pulling the guests. One after another, the ornately decorated carriages were parked in the open space in front of the loft, and there were dedicated servants to take care of them.
The two of them did not alert the others, but came secretly with only a dozen or so internal guards from the Peacock Sect.
"The person who came to report said it was right here." Kong Yuhui said with a smile.
"Go in and take a look." Lin Xin nodded.
The two of them walked towards the attic one after the other. There was a big plaque hanging on the attic: Cuiyun Tower.
"Are these two gentlemen going to have a good time or have some wine and listen to some music?" A woman with heavy makeup came up to him and said with a sweet smile.
"I wonder if you two are acquainted with each other...Ah!"
Before he finished speaking, someone behind Kong Yuhui stepped forward and pushed him away.
Kong Yuhui didn't even look at her, and walked directly in with Lin Xin. Everyone who stood in front of him along the way was pushed away by his men behind him. Suddenly, a burst of exclamations and curses came from the left and right.
"You two gentlemen...!" Several women in charge hurriedly greeted them, as if they were ready to say something nice. However, when they saw that Kong Yuhui and others did not go upstairs after coming in, but went straight to the wing corridor at the back of the first floor, they were immediately shocked.
Their expressions changed.
Before the two of them could speak, they saw the two guards guarding the door of the corridor approaching with cold faces.
"This is being closed by Lieutenant General Yu! No one is allowed in without the general's order!" The gatekeepers were actually two large soldiers in full armor.
"Closed?" Kong Yuhui was stopped by someone and sneered, "Where I, Kong Yuhui, want to go, no one in this Peacock City dares to say the word "closed" to me!"
Without saying a word, the two inner guards behind him took a few steps forward, twisted their arms, beat them into pieces and threw them aside.
"Who is it?" Suddenly, it was like a hornet's nest was stirred up. More than a dozen plain swordsmen wearing armor rushed out of the corridor, and the sound of drawing swords continued to be heard.
Kong Yuhui walked directly towards the corridor without even looking.
Lin Xin followed closely behind.
The inner guards behind the two people swarmed up to block the influx of swordsmen. These more than ten inner guards were powerful, and each of them had actually practiced horizontal kung fu. When the simple swords struck several of them, they actually made a dull wooden sound.
Not even injured.
The two of them walked into the corridor. Only the penultimate room at the end of the entire corridor was open.
"Who! Dare to attack my Yu Mansion! You are risking your life, right!?" Two people suddenly rushed out of the room, and they turned out to be Yu Chang and Shu Luoyi.
Among the two, Yu Chang was wearing a yellow short coat and a blue sword on his waist. Shu Luoyi changed into a white dress with the skirt reaching to the knees. When they saw the movement outside the corridor, both of them had frosty faces.
"This is the first time I have met someone in Peacock City who dared to speak to me like this..." Kong Yuhui sneered, and his hand was already on the hilt of the sword at his waist. Since he broke through Xiantian, he has become a famous figure in the Peacock Sect.
The power that Jiuding's big shots can mobilize has also been greatly enhanced. It's the time when you are in high spirits, and you don't want to be embarrassed in front of your friends.
"Kong Yuhui...!" As soon as Yu Chang saw the first person who came in, his heart suddenly went cold. Except for ordinary people in Peacock City, no one with a certain status would know Kong Yuhui, Mr. Kong. This guy has always been a cannibal.
The master who never spits out his bones has made a breakthrough this time when he came back and is known as the young master of the Peacock Sect who is most likely to take over the position of master!
Not to mention his father, Vice General Yu, even the Lord of Peacock City came in person and had to greet him well.
"It turns out it's Mr. Kong's master..." Just thinking about Shu Luoyi standing next to him, Yu Chang felt a little more confident. Shu Luoyi's family was a real Qi practitioner, and he was not afraid of Kong Yuhui's background.
If he loses face in front of Shu Luoyi now, it will be almost impossible to have a good relationship with her and pursue her in the future.
Thinking of this, he was about to bite the bullet and continue pushing, when suddenly a familiar face walked out from behind Kong Yuhui.
"Brother Yu and Junior Sister Shu, we have only been separated for a few days, and unexpectedly we meet here again." Lin Xin walked out with a smile on his face.
"Brother Lin?"
Shu Luoyi, who was just about to get angry, was slightly startled and temporarily gave up the idea of taking action.
"What? Do you know each other?" Kong Yuhui was also stunned.
"Of course, not only do we know each other, but we are also teammates on this mission." Lin Xin explained. "You are also here to find the person for the mission?"
Yu Chang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't have to be caught in the middle.
"Yes, yes, the flood has really washed away the Dragon King Temple. It turns out that they all have the same purpose. It turns out that Master Kong and Brother Lin are friends. Since they are both friends, we don't know each other without fighting. Come in quickly."
After saying that, he seemed to feel that he was acting too eagerly, so he immediately corrected himself and quickly changed the subject.
"We just discovered the mission target, but... something is wrong."
