Chapter 241 Mingyue Tower

Outside Bianzhou Inn, the sound of "bang bang" echoed far and wide in the deep and narrow alley, and it was already the second watch.

Covered by white mist, the moonlight was blurry. Most of the lanterns in the inn have been extinguished, and the inside and outside of the huge courtyard are only illuminated by a few small lanterns with weak flames, making the light and darkness uncertain.

In the room, Zhao and Zhuque each held a cup of hot tea and sat across the coffee table. There were no candles in the room, and it was dark and gloomy.

"It's the second update, and this kid hasn't woken up yet. Lao Jiu, how much wine did you drink into him, you damn fool?"

"Not much." Zhao took a sip of tea and said calmly: "Just two or three pots of local rice wine mixed with Liuxian drunkenness. It may be too much poison..."

"Oh, I can't help it. I didn't inject it myself. The dosage is hard to control. I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

The corner of Suzaku's mouth twitched. When he went in, Zhao warned him not to kill him, but he didn't hold back at all and just poisoned him. You didn't want this kid to live!

She cast a sidelong glance at Zhao, then turned to look at the tied-up man, and said, "If you ask me, I might as well kill him and throw him into the river."

Zhao said jokingly: "No, Huanyiniang will go to the river to wash clothes tomorrow. What if the corpse floats up and scares them?"

"You have a bodhisattva heart." Suzaku said sarcastically.

"That's right, I don't even dare to kill a chicken. Ami, that Infinite Heavenly Lord, Amen."

The two drank tea, chatted, and joked with each other. For a while, the room was filled with a happy atmosphere.

Unfortunately, this harmony was broken by Jiang Qianhu and Li Yizhen, who smelled of alcohol. The two heard the sound and pushed the door open to see what was going on. However, they were frightened by the two people stumbling around laughing on the chairs and didn't know what to say.

Obviously these two people were enemies a few days ago, why did they fall in love with each other so quickly? Mr. Zhao, could it be that you have also been beaten?

"Sit, sit!" Zhao asked them to sit down.

Both of them looked puzzled. As soon as Li Yizhen put her butt on the chair, she lowered her voice and asked quietly: "Brother, are you aware of current affairs?"

Jiang Qianhu did not dare to speak, but blinked and pouted at Suzaku.

Zhao turned around and looked at the two of them, then shook his head and said, "Just die on the woman's belly, you still know the current affairs. The fifth master came a few days ago and asked us to work together. How dare you not listen to the fifth master's words?" "

Jiang Qianhu's expression suddenly changed, he swallowed, and then asked cautiously: "Um, it's not...it's none of my business, right?"

"No!" Suzaku said angrily.

After speaking, he turned his face away from the two of them, and the disgust on his face almost overflowed.

The two of them were about to make amends when they heard the tied-up man cough twice. The two were startled, and then they realized that there was a tied person opposite them.

"Huh, who can introduce you?" Jiang Qianhu was so frightened that he even spoke his native dialect.

Li Yizhen exclaimed, "Why are you playing so big?"

After he finished speaking, his answer was a slap on the back of the head from Suzaku, "Shut up!"

The man woke up faintly, his drunkenness had not completely dissipated, and his vision was blurry. In the dim moonlight, Zhao Jiu's face was looming.

He exclaimed and asked in confusion: "Brother Muxie, you...what do you mean? Why don't you put me on the chair?"

Just when he wanted to move his limp body, he realized that he was not sitting on a chair, but tied to it.

"You, what do you want to do?"

Zhao came up to him and moved his hands together. One hand firmly pressed his mouth and the other under his armpit.

As the force on his hand gradually increased, the man's face turned red. Because his mouth was held down, he couldn't make any sound even if he wanted to shout, except for a few "wuwu" sounds.

Zhao Jiu didn't let go of his hands until he reached his abdomen and asked in a deep voice: "Are you awake? I'll ask if you're awake."

There was cold sweat on the man's forehead, he was breathing heavily from his mouth and nose, and nodded weakly.

"Let me ask you, where are the others besides you? I want detailed locations."

"I don't know." The man shook his head slightly.

have no idea? I don’t know how easy it is! Zhao said nothing and repeated the process just now.

Then he let go and asked with a smile: "Do you understand now?"

Although the man was pale and angry, he still shook his head and said bitterly: "I don't know! I really don't know!"

Still don’t know? Zhao frowned and stared into the man's eyes with squinted eyes. He wanted to see if the man really didn't know, or if he was just a stubborn person.

But after staring for a while, there was no change in the man's eyes, and he looked at him almost motionless.

"Don't tell me that you don't have any friends among the people traveling with you." Zhao Jing was still a little doubtful.

"Yes, Zhang Yuelu and Jing Muyan."

Hey, what is this? Zhao slapped his forehead. This man was really unlucky. Only two of his friends died in his own hands.

I don’t know whether to call it unlucky or lucky.

"Then you always have to contact me, right? Don't tell me. Once there is something to do, the people above will go door-to-door to inform you."

"That's not possible. We have a fixed contact point and signal." The man tilted his head. He knew in his heart that the person in front of him was not Doumu Xie at all, but the Jin Yiwei who wanted to assassinate.

Capturing him alive is most likely to take him back for revenge. At this time, if you confess, you might still survive, but if you insist, you will definitely die.

He was only after money, and he didn't have much loyalty at all. What's more, in a life-and-death situation, saving his life was the most important thing! As for whether they will be liquidated in the future, we have to survive first and then talk about it later.

"Where? How to contact?" Zhao's eyes lit up and he asked impatiently.

The man replied: "Mingyue Tower, the position of the lanterns on the eaves of the top floor represents different signals."

Zhao nodded in agreement at the lanterns on the top floor of Mingyue Tower. No wonder I met him by the river. I thought it was an accident, but I didn't expect it was because Mingyue Tower was nearby.

"Then how do you distinguish each other's identities?"

"I don't know. Only the elders know how to distinguish." The man said helplessly.

Hearing this, Zhao agreed in his heart. Single-line contact is indeed more confidential and reliable. As long as the elders don't leak the secret, there is no way to uproot it.

Zhao thought for a moment and asked, "How many people are here this time? Who is in the capital? What is the purpose of Laiqu Villa?"

"I only know how many people we are here. As for the capital and Laiqu Villa, my position is too low and I am not very clear."

"Tell me what you know."

The man paused for a moment and explained, "We are a total of fifteen people, including the seven stars of Qinglong and Zhuque and the three elders Tianshu, Tianji and Yuheng."

"As for the others, I only know that Elder Yaoguang and Deputy Sect Master Fuguang are in the capital, but I don't know where they are exactly."

After thinking for a while, Zhao asked the most curious question, "Are Tianshu and Tianji still in Bianzhou?"

"No!" the man said affirmatively.

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah." The man nodded, his eyes downcast.

Zhao was immediately happy, looked back at Zhuque, and smiled sinisterly.

"It's good that they are not here."
