The man in green robe walked to the door of the small courtyard at the end of the alley, and tapped the door rhythmically five times with his fingers.
After about ten breaths, the tapping was repeated five times.
"Who is it?"
An old woman's hoarse voice came from the main room in the courtyard.
The man in green robe replied in a low voice: "It's me, Aunt Li from the next street, here to ask my mother-in-law for some sewing tips."
"It's Aunt Li, wait a moment, the old woman will open the door right now." The old woman responded.
The old woman walked out of the main room, walked across the yard to the gate with her weak legs, pulled the bolt, and opened half of the courtyard door.
The man in green robe took a step forward, whispered a few words in the old woman's ear, then stepped through the courtyard door and walked straight to the main room.
The old woman did not follow the man in green robe to the main room, but left the courtyard door ajar, and then stood behind the door, as if waiting for someone to come.
??????????????????The man in green robe entered the main room, walked to the cabinet in the northeast corner, opened the cabinet door, reached in and groped for a moment, and then placed a hand on the inside of the cabinet against the wall.
, pressed hard on a round protrusion the size of a cup mouth.
Just listen to the sound of a card machine.
The man in green robe took a step back, and the cabinet suddenly flipped toward the inside of the wall. When the cabinet stopped flipping, a dark secret door was revealed on the wall.
The man in green robe ducked in.
Then there was a clicking sound, and the cabinet slowly flipped back.
The man in green robe walked down the steps behind the secret door for more than twenty steps, entered a stone room measuring one foot square, and then used the power of the stars to illuminate the surrounding area.
The furnishings in the small stone room are very simple.
A small single bed, a wooden table, two wooden stools, and nothing else.
The few simple pieces of furniture were all spotless, and it was obvious that someone came down to clean them frequently.
The man in green robe walked to the table and sat down, raised his hand to lift his robe and hat, took off his mask, revealing a delicate and beautiful face.
It is Qian Li.
I saw her face was cold and there was murderous intent in her eyes.
She sat at the table to calm down, and suppressed the murderous look in her eyes. Then she opened the void space and took out four simple side dishes, a pot of wine, two wine glasses and two pairs of tachyons.
Place one wine glass in front of you and the other wine glass opposite.
Then he sat at the table and waited quietly.
…
In the distance, in the private room of Zui Feng Building, Zhang Xiaozhu and Ye Mingyue's consciousness was blocked by the secret door of the cupboard, and they could no longer peep.
The secret door was so tight that Zhang Xiaozhu's subtle state of mind could not be extended inside.
"Who do you think she is waiting for?"
Zhang Xiaozu asked curiously.
Ye Mingyue sneered and said: "Going out at night is like being a thief. You are afraid of being seen. Don't worry, you must be out to meet your lover."
"Not necessarily." Zhang Xiaozu shook his head and said, "She is the wife of Qian Tongtong. With such a noble status, how could she do such a shameful and immoral thing? To say the least, given her status, even if she is really
If you have a lover outside, you will definitely not choose to have a private meeting in this dirty and messy slum, which will affect your mood."
"What you said makes some sense. Then tell me, who is she waiting for?"
"I think..." Zhang Xiaozhu held his chin and muttered: "She may be waiting for the killer."
"Killer?" Ye Mingyue was surprised when she heard this, "Who is she going to kill? Kill you?"
"She is a smart woman and will not find a killer to deal with a strong man in the Holy Realm in Paradise City. I guess she may want to kill Qian Ruoyun." Zhang Xiaozhu guessed.
Ye Mingyue nodded and said: "Qian Ruoyun caused her husband and son to be embarrassed in public. She should hate Qian Ruoyun, not to mention you let her
The road paved for Qian Ruohong should be given to Qian Ruoyun. If it were me, I would also find a way to get rid of Qian Ruoyun."
"So, it's me who caused Qian Ruoyun's death." Zhang Xiaozu smiled awkwardly and then asked, "How is Brian's recovery going?"
"Recovering very quickly, he should be able to return to his original state in two days."
"It seems we have to serve as Qian Ruoyun's guard for two days." Zhang Xiaozu said with a dumb smile.
After Brian's cultivation level recovers, he will instruct Brian to follow Qian Ruoyun to protect Qian Ruoyun's safety. When the Hongyun Dan Pavilion is opened in the future, Brian will be the boss of the Hongyun Dan Pavilion.
Ancestor.
Ye Mingyue's eyes turned cold, she looked at the small courtyard and said coldly: "I will go over and talk to Mr. Qian Li later to settle things once and for all."
"Look, Qian Li and the others are here." Zhang Xiaozu raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the alley.
I saw a man in black robes appearing at the entrance of the alley. He stood there and observed the surroundings for a while. After making sure that no one was following him, he quickly walked into the alley.
"Why is it him?"
Zhang Xiaozu stared at the man in black robe and said in surprise.
Ye Mingyue also looked surprised.
Although the man in black robe covered his face with his robe and hat, he did not wear a mask. Therefore, Zhang Xiaozhu and Ye Mingyue could easily see his appearance clearly with their spiritual consciousness, and discovered that this man was actually Qian Ruoyun's fourth uncle Qian.
Tongqian.
Ye Mingyue saw that Qian Tongqian had indeed entered the courtyard, and there was no doubt that he was here to meet Qian Li. She couldn't help laughing and said: "He is neither a lover nor a killer. We all guessed wrong."
Zhang Xiaozu said with curiosity: "Do you think she needs to be so sneaky when she sees Qian Tongqian?"
"There must be something ulterior to discuss, but it's a pity that I couldn't hear what they were talking about." Ye Mingyue said disappointedly. "Look at me." Zhang Xiaozhu smiled and took out a silver needle.
When the old woman helped Qian Tongqian open the secret door and the machine clicked, he ejected the silver needle with his middle finger.
The silver needle was extremely fast. It flew four to five hundred steps in an instant, shot through the wall with a pop, and shot into the main room. Then the speed did not slow down, and shot through the secret door of the cupboard with a pop, and finally disappeared into the dark.
In the stone wall behind the door.
The faint sound of the silver needle penetrating the wall and the secret door of the cabinet was just covered by the sound of the secret door opening.
Neither the old woman nor Qian Tongqian noticed anything unusual.
Card!
The old woman sent Qian Tongqian in and closed the secret door. Then she walked into the inner room, took out her sewing basket, and sat down at the table to start sewing.
Zhang Xiaozhu took Ye Mingyue's hand and turned the subtle state of mind into invisible energy threads, extending through Ye Mingyue's body, so that he could share the scene seen in the subtle state of mind with Ye Mingyue.
The energy thread that entered the subtle state of mind passed through the small hole left by the silver needle on the secret door of the cabinet, extended into the stone room inside, and immediately took a look at the scene in the stone room. Nothing left.
"You're here."
Qian Li saw Qian Tongqian coming down from above and greeted him, but her eyes deliberately avoided meeting Qian Tongqian's eyes.
Qian Tongqian opened his robe and hat, with a smile on his face, walked quickly forward two steps to the table, saluted Qian Li and asked, "I wonder what the second sister-in-law said when she called me here?"
"Hmph!" Mrs. Qian Li snorted coldly, then looked at Qian Tongqian, looked at him angrily, and asked: "What is your purpose in giving Hong'er poisoned wine? Aren't you afraid that Qian Tongqian will be poisoned to death too? ?”
Qian Tongqian quickly waved his hand and replied: "Second sister-in-law misunderstood. At that time, I just wanted to help Hong'er get rid of Qian Ruoyun quickly. I didn't think too much about it."
Seeing the smile on Qian Tongqian's lips, Qian Li couldn't help but get angry and shouted in a low voice: "You obviously did it on purpose. You wanted to murder Qian Tongqian as well!"
"How could it be? He is my second brother." Qian Tongqian shook his head in denial, and then asked: "I wonder why my second sister-in-law has such a ridiculous idea, thinking that I will murder my second brother?"
Qian Li suddenly looked panicked, avoided Qian Tongqian's gaze, and said in a slow tone: "I beg you not to do this kind of thing again in the future. Do you want Hong'er to be stigmatized as a patricide and ruin him?" For a lifetime?”
Qian Tongqian did not answer immediately, but moved a stool and sat down at the table. He looked at Qian Li and asked meaningfully: "I don't know in what capacity the second sister-in-law is requesting me? Is it the second sister-in-law's identity? Or - —”
"Shut up, don't say any more!" Qian Li shouted urgently, ending Qian Tongqian's words.
Her face turned pale, and she looked panicked and frightened. She seemed to already know what Qian Tongqian was going to say next, and was very frightened by what he was about to say.
