Chapter 324 Crane Inspection

Pei Ye stared at these two lines of words until the cold morning light filled his eyes.

After standing in front of the courtyard for a long time, a beautiful figure walked out first.

Shi Hanxue was startled when she saw him: "Pei Shaoxia, are you awake?"

Pei Ye came back to her senses. The woman in front of her was still as beautiful as pure snow, but she seemed to be a little darker, and her head and face didn't look quite new.

"Yes." Pei Ye responded subconsciously, and the woman continued to walk out without any intention of talking too much.

Pei Ye realized what she was doing and called her from behind: "Miss Shi."

"Um?"

"Tianshan. Will you come to Shaolong again?"

"I'm afraid there will be some gap in the short term, but I think it will happen." Shi Hanxue was silent for a moment, "But we still have to wait for the reply from the sect first and listen to the arrangements of Qunyu Pavilion."

"If anything goes wrong, I hope Miss Shi can fight for it a few more times. I will definitely remember this favor from you."

The woman lowered her eyebrows and smiled lightly: "Pei Shaoxia is serious. We also like Cuiyu and the young master these days. We definitely don't want Tianshan's efforts in Shaolong to give up halfway."

Pei Ye was silent again: "If you really have any difficulties, you can send me a message and I will do your best."

Shi Hanxue smiled again, hesitated for a moment, and then said softly: "It's not just polite, Shaoxia Pei, this involves things within the Tianshan Wall. Anyway, please believe that, at least on my side, we must be serious about moving towards Shaolong, He also supports Cuiyu seriously."

"Thank you so much." Pei Ye cupped his fists and saluted.

Shi Hanxue returned the gift and the two of them said goodbye.

Pei Ye put away his small sword and walked into the courtyard in front of him.

This atmosphere was somewhat familiar, cruel and sharp, and everything was hurriedly busy. Pei Ye walked through the crowded courtyard, asked where Wudong was, and went straight to the fourth floor of the Immortal Terrace.

The warlock who had no connection with Dong was here, but when Pei Ye walked in the door, what he saw was unexpected.

Pu Huaimeng was still sitting cross-legged in front of the array. The collected and analyzed residual profound energy showed different colors in different bottles. He was dressed neatly without any holes. The injuries from the night before seemed to have left no trace. He put his sword on the case and was talking. What is the warlock explaining?

He turned his head to see the young man and signaled him to wait a moment.

"The Sun Swallowing Society doesn't have that much extra power. If [Hanshi] is broken, it will probably not come again. You can put it back first." The old man's voice was low and he spoke very quickly, "Tianshan's "Jade Records of the West Sea" Shi Hanxue will come back to identify it later; the sample of "Mingguang Thunder" is here."

Wudong continued: "Extract the unfamiliar mystic arts as soon as possible. If it is inconvenient to do, send them to Fucheng. I will see the results directly there."

Pu Huaimeng nodded.

Wudong turned his head.

Pei Ye looked at this scene: "Do you want to leave, sir?"

"You're here just in time." Wudong walked to the table next to him, "Li Mingqing has already told me about your stay in Xiangzhou. Please fill in some details for me."

".Including things about the Zhushi Sect?"

"Everything." Wudong said, "I'll just pass it on to Shenjing."

The two of them found a quiet room, and Pei Ye told him what happened in the past two days. He filled in the holes in the case file. Finally, looking at the recorded words, he put down the pen and groaned hoarsely: "After finishing this matter, Maybe they’ll transfer me to Shenjing.”

Pei Ye then asked again: "Do you want to leave Bowang, sir?"

"Yes." Wudong sealed the record and looked at him seriously, "I know what you are here to do. I have summarized the situation of the case so far, and now I will tell you everything."

"First, the news you brought from Xiangzhou is that there is no clue about the Zhu Shijiao incident for the time being. We sent Xiangzhou Xianrentai to dig up the tomb of the Yi family, and the coffin at the end of the clothes was empty. This matter is wrapped up in In the case of the Soul Seizing Pearl, there is an edict and an empty coffin, which is a bit confusing. Here, we can only search the Zhushi Sect through the Huansi Tower, but we cannot climb through the Zhushi Tower. "

Pei Ye nodded.

"Secondly, the records about Xin'a that we got in Qi Yun are very important. We used to trace the soul-seizing beads in tiny ounces, and it was really difficult to analyze them in detail. But now we know that one hundred and twenty pounds of Xin'a, this number must be You can find something out.”

"With so many transactions over so many years, they can accumulate them little by little from different sources -"

"I know." Wudong looked at him, "You can rest assured about this. Since the Immortal Platform knows that he holds the 120 kilograms of amulet, the Immortal Platform will definitely be able to find it."

".good."

"I'm going back to Fucheng to do this now." Wudong said, "I'll personally take care of all the arrangements involving Xinpo. In fact, I think it has to do with the assassination of Yu Chaocai and the incident of Qiao Changyue's replacement of Tai Shaoqing's weapons department. , Huansilou will not do this without purpose. "

Pei Ye nodded: "Sir, I will go with you."

"No need." Wudong refused decisively, "Wandering around government offices and dealing with officials. You have no job and no experience, so you can't help."

Pei Ye was silent for a moment: "Is there anything I can help with?"

Wudong tilted his head to look at him and calmed down: "You have seen the battle the night before. He was killed by Xuanmen's three moves, and the Pulse Master was ineligible to enter. Why do you have to throw away your talents and prospects here lightly?"

The old man said hoarsely: "No one will blame you for not pursuing Xuanmen with your pulse. I know you are connected, so I told you the matter - go to Shenjing in a down-to-earth manner."

Pei Ye shook his head and lowered his eyebrows: "I can't stand it myself."

"." Wudong was quiet for a while. He was obviously not good at persuading people and said, "Then let me tell you something. You go to Kongtong."

".Kongtong?"

"Kongtong." Wudong said, "Thanks to the bravery of An Sifeng and Master Li, we were able to cut off the enemy's arm. However, Ming Sword Master came quickly, and he only had time to burn him with a burst of fire."

Pei Ye followed his gaze and saw a half-iron and half-amber bead placed on the table.

"But this soul-stealing bead was kept by us."

"."

"We still don't know the purpose of Huansilou's collection of it, but if it was still a guess before, it's enough to confirm now - it must be something indispensable for them." Wudong clicked on the bead, "I'm going Fucheng traced the Xinpo, and it turned out that it was only within ten days. They lost it at this time, and they must make up for it before these 'ten days'."

Pei Ye frowned and nodded slowly.

"Then I'll give it to you." Wudong put it into the young man's hand.

Pei Ye was startled for a moment and took it away.

"In this way, it will be impossible for them to get it back, and in Shaolong, they want to find another swordsmanship with enough weight in a hurry."

".Only Kongtong."

"That's right." Wudong nodded, "Only Kongtong."

Pei Ye lowered his head and looked at the bead in his hand. It was in an overflowing state. It cast light and shadow on Chaohui, as if the souls he had collected were floating inside.

"If you must risk your life, this should be the most suitable job. I asked Master Mingjian, and she was about to go back to ask about the sword. If you stay with her, everything will be fine." Wudong said, "This I'll lend you a kingfisher for now. If you need anything, just send me a message."

Pei Ye reached out and took the small pendant handed over by Wu Dong. It was made of gold and iron and made into a small cage as big as a thumb, which contained a jade bead that had been pecked out in half.

"[Liu Feng] doesn't recognize living beings and is very spiritual. It will recognize you when it sees you."

Pei Ye turned his head and looked out the window. He saw a sharp blue bird stepping on the branch, its gray eyes meeting his. But just for a moment, there was nothing on the branch, and the flashing scene just now was like an illusion.

"Open the jade cage, and then pour your true energy into the jade beads, and the [Flowing Wind] will come in an instant." Wudong pondered for the last time and looked at him, "Since you are determined to enter the game, I will make the interests and benefits clear to you - hand it over Your line is not a response, it is one of the two real keys. I originally planned to use a trusted informant to do it. "

"But firstly, I trust your position, and secondly, I appreciate your agility, so I entrust you with this job. I will definitely find out the direction of the 'Xinpo' line, but the key point is time. Huanshilou Now that there is such a commotion, there is no reason to hide their plans again in the future, but by then it will be too late to know their roots." Wudong said. "I even suspect that they have been planning for many years just for this one move. After it is completed, they take away the key and throw away everything. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Understood." Pei Ye said, "If you can't find out the case before them, I will grab their necks that are sticking out to Kongtong."

"That's right." Wudong nodded, "In addition, there is a line here in Bowang. Just communicate with Li Mingqing and don't leak information to each other."

Pei Ye was stunned: "What?"

Wudong raised his eyebrows: "Didn't you just meet? The people I sent didn't see you and said that you and Young Master Cuiyu went out."

".Didn't talk about this."

"Yu Chaocai once bought five taels of amber at the Qiyun Singing Fair in Xiangzhou. After Li Ningqing reported it, he has been checking the state treasury these two days."

".Maybe it's not stored in the warehouse?"

"Yu Chaocai purchased it in the name of Bowangzhou Yamen. Firstly, this official is clean and can't take out the money himself. Secondly, he follows the rules. Since he bought it with official silver, it must be put into the official treasury first. How will it be used later? Approval again." Wudong looked at him.

So Pei Ye understood what he meant and nodded slowly.

if not found

Without insight, he understood, so he said no more, raised his sword and said without hesitation: "I like you very much, but let's part ways."

Pei Ye was startled for a moment and remembered something: "Sir, has this matter been reported to Fucheng? How will we arrange for help?"

"Reported." Wu Dong tied his sword around his waist, put on a dark cloak, and then glanced at him, "Help. What kind of help do you want?"

Pei Ye was stunned, he clearly remembered how powerless he felt the night before.

"Fighting is fighting, and investigation is investigation. This is a delicate job." Wudong put on his hood, "In the Shaolong realm, as long as we find them out, help will be there at any time. Otherwise, even if we come to Tianlou, we will only be able to alert the snake. , headless fly.”

"Isn't the Immortal Platform Hejian right in front of you when it comes to investigating cases?" Wudong glanced at him, waved his robe and walked out.

His actions finally showed some inconvenience caused by the injury, but it was more like a sharp and bloody sword. The sudden setback the night before obviously only made him see the appearance of the enemy more clearly.

Pei Ye watched the figure leave. The sun outside the window was already getting high. He stood stunned for a while and forgot to say hello to the warlock. He lowered his head and turned to go downstairs.

————

Li Mingqing looked at Pei Ye's leaving figure and stood stunned for a long time.

Before she came to see the boy, she spent a whole night thinking about it. But when all this really becomes a reality, the emptiness and depression in my heart are not reduced at all.

"after".

The word that came out of the boy's mouth almost burned her. She quickly covered his lips, but she still couldn't stop the suffocation in her heart.

She really didn't dare to look directly at this word. It was too beautiful. It was like a magic medicine. As long as she thought of it, the sun would penetrate the heavy haze, and her whole heart would suddenly become bright and relaxed.

But at the same time, it really seemed like a bait that wanted to drag her into a deeper abyss. She had experienced the consequences of greed, and she knew what to choose.

But the way the boy lowered his head and gently pushed her away at the end really cut a deep and sharp blood wound in her heart.

When they promised each other, they had a lot of misunderstandings and guesses, but at the moment of separation, they didn't need to say anything more. When she thought of a question, she immediately knew the answer in the other person's heart.

He knew everything, and he also knew how she would choose to be so silent.

The girl's lips moved twice, and she looked down at the lake under the willows unconsciously. The morning breeze cooled her clothes little by little, and the lake surface was gradually covered with a golden carpet.

Suddenly, footsteps came from her side. Li Piaoqing turned around and was stunned. The god-like woman in white stood quietly beside her.

"Sword Master Mingming?"

Ming Qitian nodded: "Xianrentai came to find Pei Ye, Yang Yan said you came to the lake."

"Oh" Li Piaoqing lowered her head, "He just went to the direction of Xianrentai."

"Oh, that's good." The woman tilted her head to look at the girl and whispered, "Are you okay?"

Li Piaoqing's lips shrank suddenly, she pursed her lips, and after a while she lowered her head and whispered: "Not bad."

Ming Qitian lowered his eyes and looked at her, and said nothing more.

Li Piaoqing suddenly felt that the cool lake breeze seemed to be much softer, she whispered: "Sword Master Ming, have you ever liked someone?"

Ming Qitian was startled and shook his head.

Li Piaoqing fell silent again, and after a long while, she whispered, "Sister Ming, you also grew up in the sect, right?"

"Yes."

"I used to always wonder what you would do." Li Piaoqing smiled a little sadly at the woman beside him, "You are really amazing. You don't get entangled in anything."

"What's so amazing about natural things." Ming Qitian whispered, "I am not necessarily as good as you at your age."

".Liar." The girl choked and laughed.

"I'm not lying."

Li Piaoqing couldn't hold back the expression on her face any more, and lowered her head and whispered, "Sister Ming, can I hug you?"

Ming Qitian was stunned for a moment and nodded.

The girl immediately stepped forward, opened her arms, and gently threw herself into the woman's arms.

As soon as her face was hidden, her emotions began to flow freely, and the girl's sobbing became more and more obvious: "Sister Ming, do you think I have become a person like you?"

"Yeah." Ming Qitian said softly, "You are now 'Yu'."

The girl couldn't hold back her tears anymore, and sobbed: "But...but I'm so sorry for Pei Ye."

"He was so determined to get us on the same path, and he kept encouraging me to never waver no matter what difficulties I faced. He tried so hard to be with me, but when I decided to separate..."

The girl cried: ".He just nodded."

Ming Qitian stood quietly and patted the girl's back gently.
