Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang rushed to the inn to find Lu Chengyun.
It was almost noon, the street was quiet, and most people had gone to sleep. Only one room on the third floor of the inn still had the lights on, and the others had all turned off.
Zhan Zhao went to the door of a room on the first floor of the inn and knocked.
After a while, someone came to open the door.
The fifth master looked at the big black man standing in the door and looked familiar.
"Little Palace Master!"
The big man rubbed his eyes and was a little surprised to see Zhan Zhao.
Bai Yutang also remembered, "This big guy is from the Blue Fox Gang, his name is Black Tiger. The Blue Fox Gang is responsible for the accommodation of the guests attending the banquet, and each inn will leave a gang member responsible for liaison and handling trivial matters."
Zhan Zhao asked Hei Hu, "Where does Lu Chengyun live?"
Heihu took out the check-in list that was on the table and flipped through it, "The second room from the left on the third floor."
The two of them looked at it when they entered the door just now. The second room on the third floor happened to be the one with the lights on - Lu Chengyun was still up so late?
Zhan Zhao asked Hei Hu to go to sleep, and he and Bai Yutang sat down at the table in the room.
Zhan Zhao poured a glass of water to drink, while Bai Yutang sat there and asked Shark to enter Lu Chengyun's room to check the situation.
In the room on the third floor, Lu Chengyun sat alone at the table, with the oil lamp on the table flickering.
At this time, Lu Chengyun, known as the number one escort in the Central Plains, was looking at a letter in his hand with a frown.
Shark went over and took a look. The content in the letter was very familiar. It was for Lu Chengyun to elope at Ziwu Temple at midnight tonight, and it was signed Liu Su.
Bai Yutang was puzzled - didn't Lu Chengyun make an appointment with the third lady to elope? Why was it that the third lady asked Lu Chengyun to elope again?
Lu Chengyun let out a long sigh. At this time, the sound of the clock was heard outside the window-it was midnight.
Lu Chengyun hesitated for a moment, then reached out and handed the letter to the oil lamp to light it.
Seeing the entire letter burned to ashes, Lu Chengyun raised his head and took a deep breath. Shark stood beside him and noticed that Lu Chengyun's eyes were red and there seemed to be some tears in his eyes.
The rough man wiped his face with his hand, blew on the oil lamp, then went to bed and lay down to sleep.
This was somewhat beyond Bai Yutang's expectation.
"He didn't go to elope?" Zhan Zhao was a little puzzled after hearing the fifth master describe the situation just now, "Isn't he still in love with the third lady?"
Bai Yutang took the tea handed to him by Zhan Zhao and shrugged while drinking it - who knows.
"So it seems that the third lady's letter was not written by him. Who led them to Ziwu Lane?" Zhan Zhao was a little unwilling, "They both probably know where Ziwu Lane is, but it's a pity that one is fainted and the other is scared."
Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao helplessly. The cat had been angry since just now. He didn't know who provoked him.
"What should we do?" Bai Yutang asked Zhan Zhao, "Should we still go to Lu Chengyun?"
"Well..." Zhan Zhao was also a little embarrassed. Now if he asked the unfounded person whether he would admit it or not, there would be no way to scare the snake away...
Just as he was hesitating, suddenly...a strange internal force appeared.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both raised their heads and stepped out of the door at the same time.
In Lu Chengyun's room on the third floor, Lu Chengyun, who had just laid down, suddenly felt a hint of murderous aura beside him. He looked up suddenly and saw a man in black appearing beside the bed, with a bright knife in his hand falling.
Lu Chengyun thought something bad and rolled on the bed suddenly, dodging the falling knife.
After all, he was also a master. Lu Chengyun stood up and started fighting with the man in black.
And just as Lu Chengyun jumped out of the bed, fell into the room and picked up the saber on the table, the second man in black appeared behind him.
This man was obviously more skilled in martial arts, and he swung his knife towards Lu Chengyun's neck.
Just when Lu Chengyun realized that he was in danger, a powerful internal force blocked the knife.
Now, not only Lu Chengyun, but also the two assassins were surprised.
Almost at the same time, with a bang, the door was kicked open, and Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang rushed in.
The two men in black withdrew their swords and wanted to run away, but the first man in black moved a little slower. Just as he turned around, Zhan Zhao had already blocked his way. The other man rushed out of the window, and Bai Yutang chased after him.
Got out.
The man in black in the room wanted to run away, but Zhan Zhao couldn't let him escape. He reached out and took off his mask.
The man in black darted from side to side without taking off his clothes. When he realized what he was doing, the mask on his face had been torn off by Zhan Zhao.
The two sides met each other, and Zhan Zhao was stunned for a moment - he looked familiar!
The man in black also subconsciously covered his face.
Zhan Zhao knew it in his heart - he must have seen it somewhere!
After a few more moves, the man in black couldn't beat Zhan Zhao, but his acupoints were tapped and he couldn't move.
Zhan Zhao also has experience. Many people will commit suicide in this kind of situation. Just in case, he clicked the dots in unison, so that the man in black couldn't blink.
After Zhan Zhao finished ordering, he began to circle around the stone sculpture-like assassin, muttering, "Where have you seen it before?"
After thinking for a while to no avail, Zhan Zhao went to see Lu Chengyun and said to himself, "People are trying to kill you. Do you have any clues?"
But at this time, Lu Chengyun was very strange. He was squatting on the ground and still trembling.
…
In the alley outside the inn, Bai Yutang chased the man in black. The fifth master didn't want to catch him or kill him, so he just followed him, wanting to see where the boy went.
The man in black ran two streets away, but he couldn't get rid of Bai Yutang, who was like a spirit behind him.
The man in black stood on the roof and looked back at Bai Yutang.
The moment he turned around, an inner force suddenly pulled his mask.
The man reacted very quickly and immediately put out his hand to cover his face.
Although he had moved very quickly, Bai Yutang could clearly see what this person looked like.
Although it was only for a moment, Bai Yutang felt familiar—it seemed like he had seen this person before!
At this moment, there was a sudden gust of wind.
Fifth Master instinctively tilted his head and dodged a flying hidden sword.
The man in black took this opportunity and jumped off the roof and ran away.
Bai Yutang turned around and looked at a person on the rooftop across the alley.
This man caught the fifth master's attention better than the man in black, because he had just met this man not long ago, and it was the mysterious "tauren" in the third lady's room.
In the night wind, Bai Yutang confronted the tauren.
The tauren slowly turned around and looked at Bai Yutang.
Almost at the same time, Master Wu heard a strange "Woo" sound, which seemed to be the sound of wind blowing through the valley. He often heard this sound when he was a child, because at night in Baihua Valley, he could often hear this sound outside the valley.
An exaggerated mountain wind sound.
The two sides just stood like this. After listening for a while, Bai Yutang asked, "Did you make this sound?"
There was no expression on the opponent's bronze head, but the bull's head still turned slightly sideways, and the strange wind sound in the night sky also stopped.
The tauren seemed confused. After staring at Bai Yutang for a while, he turned around and jumped off the roof.
Bai Yutang was about to chase after him when he heard a voice from behind, "Don't move."
Bai Yutang was instinctively startled, thinking that he didn't even know who was so powerful standing behind me. But after recognizing the voice, Fifth Master immediately relaxed and turned around, Yin Houzheng fell behind him.
Bai Yutang pointed behind him, meaning - Grandpa, how could you stop me from chasing the thief?
But Yin Hou pulled Bai Yutang nervously, then got closer and looked into his eyes.
The fifth master is a little confused.
Yin Hou looked at him for a while and asked, "The sound technique just now..."
Bai Yutang was a little confused, "Music?"
After thinking about it, Fifth Master felt quite disgusted, "Just that sound like the mountain wind?"
Yin Hou seemed to be stunned, staring at Bai Yutang, "Shanfeng..."
Bai Yutang nodded and moved his hand to his ear, "Woo-woo."
"Only heard whining? No voice? No hallucinations?" Yin Hou didn't seem to believe it.
Bai Yutang shook his head, "No."
Yin Hou narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes were quite serious and a bit scary.
Bai Yutang looked at Yin Hou obediently, what did he mean - why are you trying to scare me, old man?
After a moment of silence, Yin Hou pointed to Bai Yutang's side and said, "Why didn't your master call someone here?"
Bai Yutang turned to look at the void next to him, and looked back at Yin Hou in confusion, with a bit of doubt in his eyes - Grandpa, are you drunk?
Yin Hou looked at Bai Yutang for a long time and looked puzzled, "What was clearly effective for you before...why is it suddenly ineffective?"
Bai Yutang was even more puzzled. First it was Zhan Zhao and then Yin Hou. On what day was it today that both the grandfather and grandson acted abnormally?
