Chapter 71 A Man and a Woman Go Out Late at Night

Chapter 71 A man and a woman go out late at night...

As Ye Jingtang and Junshan Terrace passed each other, three people were looking at the crowded tea shop window on the street.

Blood Bodhi pretended to be a gray-haired old businessman, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand and frowning.

Chen Ming and Lu Ruan followed Blood Bodhi's arrangement and came to assassinate Prince Jing's personal master. They were sitting on both sides of the table with equally solemn expressions.

"Yesterday Chen Ming took advantage of the rain to go to the boat to find out more about it. Before he got close, something strange happened in the cabin. He is so young, and his experience in the world is too seasoned..."

"I suspect there are still experts on board, but after a few days of observation, the young man who often changes shifts with Night Terror Hall seems to have good skills, but he is only second-rate at best. Could the expert be in the dark?"

Xue Bodhi was also wondering about this matter. The relationship between Ye Jingtang and Prince Jing was ambiguous. He guessed that Prince Jing might arrange a guard when he went out on this trip, so he did not act rashly after leaving the capital. He wanted to find out the identity of the guard first.

But there are only nine people in total on the merchant ship, Ye Jingtang, six servants on the ship, and two women. In terms of kung fu skills, they seem to be a little bit good, but in terms of masters, except for Ye Jingtang, the others are not masters at all. weather.

According to the experience of Jianghu, if you cannot figure out the details of the other party, it means that the other party is superior. Taking action rashly is asking for death, and you should leave decisively.

But there was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in front of him, and Blood Bodhi was borrowing the help of his employer to do private work. If he missed it, he might never have such an opportunity again in the future.

Blood Bodhi thought about it for a long time and finally said:

"In our line of work, we can't be impatient. We've already arrived at Xiwang Town, and Ye Jingtang will definitely be walking around and socializing. As long as we continue to follow, we can always find opportunities."

Chen Ming and Lu Ruan are both ruthless people who lick blood from their swords, and both of them felt that something was wrong with this mission.

But in terms of qualifications, the two of them combined were not as good as Blood Bodhi. They still obeyed the command and pretended to be Blood Bodhi's followers, pulling a cart of groceries into the crowd.

Xue Bodhi is an experienced assassin, and his tracking was not noticed by Ye Jingtang and others.

After Ye Jingtang and his party entered Xiwang Town, they first checked into an inn, and then went out to the trading venues in the town, visiting merchants from various places, and talking about all kinds of trivial matters.

Although there were no guards around Ye Jingtang, there were too many people in Xiwang Town, including many masters of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. There was too much movement in the street, and it was easy for heroes and righteous men to cause trouble.

The three of them, Xue Bodhi, had been secretly brewing for a long time, but could not find a chance. Time passed from morning to dusk, and Night Terror Hall returned to the inn.

There are many Jianghu people staying in the inn. They don't know the situation inside the inn, so they can't act rashly. They have already given up and are planning to continue looking for opportunities tomorrow.

But what people didn't expect was that Ye Jingtang, who had been extremely cautious all the way, suddenly had an opportunity presented to him.

The sky is getting dark, the rain has not stopped, and the streets of Xiwang Town are lit up with lights.

Xue Bodhi and two helpers took turns watching in an inn across the street. As they watched, they noticed two figures quietly walking out of the alley on the side of the inn.

Xue Bodhi squinted his eyes and looked, and he could confirm that the tall man wearing a bamboo hat was the target Night Terror Hall.

The plump woman beside him is Pei Sanniang, the female boss of the Pei family.

The two of them went out together without anyone else, and it was a dark, windy, rainy night. In the eyes of the killer, they were almost two dead people.

The three of them quickly went downstairs. Lu Ruan pulled out an eyebrow gun from under the truck and asked in a low voice:

"Why are they going out so late at night?"

It was night, it was raining, and there were very few people on the street. The walk to Night Terror Hall was in an alleyway, so it could be said that one could attack at any time.

But Blood Bodhi did not move rashly and followed him from afar in the darkness with an iron crutch:

"I don't know. This guy is very experienced in the world. Be careful that this is a trick to lure the enemy out of the hole. Find out the intention first before taking action."

Chen Ming and Lu Ruan also felt that this opportunity came too suddenly, and they really didn't dare to go directly. They followed Blood Bodhi silently, trying to figure out their intentions.

And the intentions of this lonely man and widowed woman seem to be very obvious...

Ye Jingtang and the hostess walked side by side, holding an umbrella together. The hostess's shoulders were pressed against Ye Jingtang's body, like a charming and mature young wife. I'm afraid no one would believe it if they said they were a couple hanging out in the middle of the night. .

The locations the two went to became more and more remote, and finally they left the town directly, came to a small riverside street, and entered an inconspicuous old inn on the street.

"..."

Blood Bodhi has been wandering around the world all his life. Regarding this kind of behavior, he thinks it is an 'illicit affair', and his old face looks a little strange.

The next two people obviously understood it, but Chen Ming was more cautious and said doubtfully:

"If two people want to have an affair, they can stay in an inn. Why bother to go to the river to find a new inn?"

Xue Bodhi pondered for a while: "This son has an ambiguous relationship with Prince Jing. He is having an affair with a woman in private. I'm afraid I don't dare to let Prince Jing know about it."

Lu Ruan also interjected: "According to the inquiring, the woman's name is Pei Sanniang, and Ye Jingtang is the adopted son of the Pei family, so we have to call the woman 'aunt'. The aunt and nephew are having an affair, so naturally they have to go behind the family's back."

"Pooh……"

Chen Ming sighed disdainfully: "He looks like a talented person, but he does such unethical things behind his back. Fortunately, I still treat him as a troublesome person."

"In wealthy families, there are many aunt-stealers. This kind of thing is not uncommon."

Xue Bodhi raised his hand to suppress the chat between the two, and after paying attention in the dark for a long time, he didn't notice anything strange about the old inn, and then he silently walked towards the back alley of the small street...

——

Crackling...

Raindrops fell on the umbrella, the ribs trembled, and some water spray splashed out.

Night Jingtang was afraid that Sanniang's shoulders would get wet, so she moved closer to the umbrella in her hand, almost hugging Pei Xiangjun with one arm, but her arms were not attached to her back.

Pei Xiangjun walked slowly along the river bank, looking like a wealthy lady: "This street is called 'Koi Street'. Privately, it is the property of Zezhou Hall. There are many tourists during the day... The hall masters met recently. To prevent the news from leaking, The streets are filled with family members and no outsiders are allowed."

If Sanniang hadn't spoken, Ye Jingtang wouldn't have been able to tell that the idle men, boatmen, and store clerks on the street were all members of his own family. He took a closer look and said:

"How many people are in the building?"

"There are more than three hundred people, most of whom are from Zezhou Hall. The twelve halls of Honghua Tower are located in the twelve states of the Wei Dynasty, some are big and some are small. The people who came this time are all the core personnel of each family. There are only about ten of them, all waiting in the big round building in front... When you see Hall Master Song and Hall Master Chen later, you should be more polite. They are both real masters, much more powerful than me, so don't say anything. If you act arrogantly, people will really beat you up..."

"Of course I know this..."

While chatting, Pei Xiangjun and Ye Jingtang walked through the small street near the river and came to the door of an inn.

The inn looks quite old, probably a hundred years old. The front door has turned black due to wind and rain. There is an oil lamp lit in the lobby. The old shopkeeper is doing abacus behind the counter, and the waiter is lazily leaning against it. door.

When the two came over, the waiter didn't look strange at all. He just raised his hand:

"Two guests, please come in."

Then he took the two of them to the back of the inn...
