At night.

In the past, even in the evening, the border cities were ablaze with lights and voices. But from three days ago, once it was night, the city gate was closed, curfew was imposed in the city, and several teams patrolled back and forth.

At the top of the highest tower of the city Lord's mansion, ningyue stands side by side with LiuDuan, overlooking the night scene of the whole city. He can't help shaking his head at this grand battle.

"It's certainly not your order. This kind of high-profile search, unless the kind of people who are crazy about provocation, otherwise, absolutely can not escape. If we go on like this, we will not only lose face, but also lose the reputation of lie taomen. In the future, it will be difficult to govern the border cities. "

"Heroes think alike. I have said similar things, but after all, I'm just a guest from outside. It's OK to go in and out at will or greet a few people by virtue of my previous reputation. It's difficult to command the disciples on a large scale. The elder in charge of this city was already derelict in his duty when the Deputy patriarch died. If we don't look at it superficially, we can only wait for the punishment to come down? "

Speaking of this, Liu Duan shook his head and laughed again.

"In the final analysis, a lot of things are done by a lot of people, but they pretend to be very hard-working and cheat themselves and others. They have tried their best. In fact, they know very well that they are dealing with it. "

Ning Yue said with a smile, "but you won't deal with it. Although I don't know why you fell from the position of deputy patriarch at the beginning, but if you want to start over, this is the best opportunity, you will never let it go. That's why you came to us. Although it's done with the help of external forces, it's also beneficial. At that time, you will be the only one in the clan who will be able to discuss merits and offer rewards. "

Liu nodded and said, "to tell you the truth, I'm very curious about your origin. I'm familiar with the sect's style, but I don't think I'm a disciple of a sect. Your friend comes from the frontier of all nations, the imperial control area, and usually the clan people don't get involved with this kind of people. "

"The people of zongmen who come from the frontier of all countries, isn't this explanation enough?" Ning Yue replied casually that he didn't want to get to the bottom of a person who could not completely believe him.

"No. The people of zongmen in the frontier of all nations come to LuanWu for training, but they will basically stay in zongwuzhou, where they may not be able to stay for a long time, let alone xuanwuzhou. As far as you and your companions are concerned, not to mention the border areas, they are not only elite disciples in Zongwu Prefecture. You, in particular, can be a senior. I don't believe that such a person can come out of the clan in the frontier of all countries. If you have to say that, your moves reveal a wild will, but still retain a few rules of the door out of the bridge. It should be based on the martial arts of zongmen, but the real growth is going out to experience, and most of them have adventures. "

In the face of Liu Duan's aggressive eyes, Ning Yue's heart was filled with awe, and his right hand pressed the hilt at his waist.

Liu Duan just shook his head and said, "don't be nervous. I don't think about other people's things. I just think about what I deserve. Forcibly seizing other people's fortune, I think, will affect their future luck, disdain to do it. Since you don't want to say it, I won't ask. I just hope that there will be no reservation for the next thing. The assassin is terrible. "

"Of course, it's terrible. I've played against them several times, and each time it was a close victory. Not to mention that these patrols in the city can not find people, even if there are twice as many people, the assassin will not be found if he passes in front of them. This ragged cloak is not a decoration

"What about that?"

"Don't you have an idea in mind? Otherwise, why ask me to stand here. It's a stupid way to wait for the hare, but it's OK to have a try without any clues. In that way, the deliberate killing of a deputy suzerain was mostly premeditated rather than spontaneous. Then, we should not just make one mistake and stop. Now the elite of lietaomen are basically scattered, and few of them stay in the city Lord's mansion, which can be regarded as an internal emptiness. Since the assassin can solve a deputy patriarch, it shouldn't be difficult to kill another elder? "

The corner of the mouth slightly pulls, Liu Duan asks again: "so, do you think that person will start tonight?"

"You think she will, don't you? During the day, my friends and I tossed a lot, and you brought us in again. As long as she's still dormant in the city, it's impossible not to know. If we start tonight, we'd better confuse the public. Moreover, it's the first night. Our prevention will be relatively poor. I don't think it's going to be long before there's news. "

Rather more meaningful smile, continue to overlook the whole city.

The night wind blows, and it's early spring. It's still chilly, but it's not worth mentioning for him who takes advantage of the wind. Time passed slowly. I don't know how long later, a figure appeared quietly on the top of the tower. Under the ragged cloak, it was Su Qian.

"There is something moving on the west wall. Someone should have come in over the wall. The action of the comer is very slight, leaving few traces, and it's not easy to infer which side he went to. "

"West side? If you remember correctly, that direction is the closest to the master bedroom. It's just that it's not too late for the assassination. It's not easy to get it if you don't fall asleep. But anyway, go and have a look. "

After murmuring, Ning glanced at Liu Duan and said, "together or separately?"

"Split up. It's not convenient for you to go to the Lord's residence, so I'll go. Please go back to the place where you found the trace and make a detailed investigation to see if you can find more clues. "

"Good."

When the voice falls, the three people jump out in two ways, and fall in the wind. Su Qian looks at Ning Yue secretly, but Ning Yue doesn't make a sound, and nods gently.

On the west side of the wall, half of the footprints were left on the wall with special powder. From the small outline, it must be a woman. The footprints are inclined to the north, which should be the target direction of the diver.

Ning Yue leaned over and looked carefully, and said, "if it is the residence of the city Lord, it should be south. That is to say, her goal is not to assassinate the Lord of the city. So, what's the purpose of sneaking in? What does she want here? "

"Do you mean that she killed the Deputy Lord just to make the house empty so that she could sneak in and finish a secret? But in that case, there's no need to wait until we come. She should have learned that Liu Duan asked us to come in. She was more guarded. Why... "

"I think the answer will come soon. Who is calculating who in this game. Su Qian, you go to the south, just in case, I'll go to the north. Remember to use a refraction cloak, but in order to prevent misunderstanding, don't let the people of lietaomen find your whereabouts. "

"Well, be careful."

Su Qian's body quickly hides into the darkness and nothingness, and leaves here. After she left, she would rather get up and jump down than use a refraction cloak, and stride directly to the dark corner on one side.

"There's no one else. Come out."

The voice soon dissipated into the night without any response.

Face slightly a jump, would rather feel a little embarrassed, difficult to guess wrong. Just as he was about to leave, his pace suddenly stopped. In the void of his side, a cold blade quietly condensed into shape.

"Can you say no, how did you find out it was mine?"

"Before that, put down the sword? At least, we have a little friendship. If you want to choose between the two, I will help you. "

With the sword, Ning Yue was still smiling. He couldn't see who was coming, but his voice was familiar. That's right.

"It's a coincidence that they all left, and finally they met my little brother. You said, "are we predestined?"

With a light smile, the blade is pulled back, and hori yuan's figure emerges from the darkness. With a shake of her wrist, her sword edge is folded.

Ning Yue replied: "I don't know if it's fate. I just want to know what you want to do to kill a deputy patriarch? With your temperament, I'm sure you didn't reach a secret agreement with Liu Duan to help him get on the top. "

"For a moment, will you?" Hori yuan snorted coldly.

"If you're really happy for a while, you don't have to risk coming back. And I chose tonight. That is to say, I hope I can help you, right? I said, if you have to choose one, I'll help you. You're a little more trustworthy than the rotten lietaomen. "

After that, Ning Yue extended his hand.

With a wave, hori yuan replied, "hum, can't even say good things? It doesn't matter if I tell you. I'm looking for a file in the secret chamber of the city Lord's mansion. The secret key token you need to open has been obtained from the rubbing of the Deputy Lord. In Xuanwu state, lie taomen has two unique skills: one is the skill of ten thousand rope whip, the other is the deed of binding servants. All the enemies they catch will be stamped with the mark of being servants for life. By means of the files of the contract they made at that time, they can easily trace the trace of that person and have nowhere to hide. If you want to crack it, you have to either find a craftsman with high quality or destroy the file. "

Ning Yue replied: "since they have been demoted as slaves, they certainly can't afford to ask the weapon refiner for help, so the only way to extricate themselves is to destroy the files. But I'm curious. Who are you helping? I'm sure your price won't be lower, will it

"It's none of your business! Now that you've agreed to help, come with me. I'm the only one who can't crack the secret chamber. "

Hori yuan snorted coldly, turned and stepped into the dark again.

"It turned out that I only agreed where I could be useful."

He shrugged his shoulders. He would rather keep up with it more quickly. His refraction cloak flickered slightly, and his figure quickly disappeared into nothingness.

Before long, they came to the secret Pavilion. If not pointed out by hori yuan, ningyue would have ignored a humble hut. At first glance, I thought it was a Chaifang.

"Are you sure?"

"Sure. Otherwise, you think I can kill that person with one sword. Why do you chop so many times. Because I need him to tell something. "

After that, hori yuan pushes the door in, turns out a dark box on the rough wall, and then presents a token made of rubbing and copying, which is embedded in it.

All of a sudden, the wooden house trembled slightly, and a secret passage entrance was opened on the side floor. I don't know the end of the deep passage.

She raised her hand again to indicate that she would rather be more advanced.

"The mechanism below is changing every day. I didn't have time to find out the rules that night. Next, it's up to you and me. "“ Hello, isn't that good The night is getting darker and darker. A breeze is quietly rolling over the eaves of a house. A ghost figure in a ragged cloak appears. He squats on it and looks at the secret school pavilion with the door closed. He can't help grinning“ Good. There is no mistake in this step. It's all in the plan. "
