Volume 1: A stone strikes a thousand waves, the world surrounds Li Daosheng Chapter 64: The Sixth Floor Is Not That High Anyway
Cloud mountain.
No matter how turbulent the world is, this place always seems to be so calm.
White clouds floated by, the mountain path was slanting, birds were sleeping on the rocks, a little girl took some rice grains and sprinkled them on the ground in front of them. Although she didn't know if they would eat it, she sprinkled it on them first, maybe they would eat it.
At this time, Jiang Lian'er was sitting in the room, reading a piece of paper. He had already received the news from the martial arts world.
"Yin Wuli?" He whispered the name softly at the table, folded the letter in his hand, and put it back into the envelope.
He lowered his eyes, as if he had a plan.
If this matter was the result of what he had left behind, then he should have solved it, but if it was a disaster destined for him, then he could not escape it.
Why not, let's go and see if this is karma or fate...
Jiang Lian'er thought so, picked up the pen and began to write a letter.
The lanterns outside the door were swaying in the mountain wind. It seemed that the New Year was almost approaching.
This year, he would probably spend the day alone in the mountains, buying Xiaoyun some new clothes, some wheat candy, and setting off a few firecrackers.
He hasn't figured out what to write in the couplet.
…
It snowed in Fengping City in December. The white snow covered the roofs, pressed on the branches, and fell on the collars and trouser legs of passers-by.
The children were full of joy, wearing new clothes for the Spring Festival, running around in the streets and alleys. The pedestrians were frowning, looking at the flying snow, thinking that the roads would become more difficult to travel.
However, after nightfall, the streets became quiet and empty as usual.
In the darkness of night, two black-robed knights of the martial arts world walked into the city gate.
The wind made their black robes flutter. One of them helplessly covered his face with his hands to block the wind, while the other one was holding a letter he had just received from the post station, pressing it with his hand and reading it.
The two of them were Li Si and Yan Tingzhi who had come all the way here.
It took them nearly twenty days to get here. The main reason for this was that, in addition to the long distance between Fengping and Mount Tai, Yan Tingzhi's pace was much slower than Li Si's.
In response to this, Yan Tingzhi said that compared to Li Si, no one in the martial arts world was fast.
Li Si did not deny this.
On the street, Yan Tingzhi finished reading the letter in his hand, put it away with a bad look on his face, and said to Li Si beside him.
"The court's first wave of encirclement and suppression of Yin Wuli has failed. Two people died and six were injured."
It was a little dark on both sides of the street, with only a few lanterns lighting up this snowy night.
Listening to the news Yan Tingzhi said, Li Si looked at the road ahead and nodded in response.
"so."
"Are you sure you can find information about Yin Wuli here?" Yan Tingzhi frowned worriedly. They had no time to waste.
Every day that Yin Wuli is allowed to remain in power, his influence on the world will become deeper.
A master is not scary; a crazy master is scary.
Suddenly, Li Si stopped, stood on the snow, looked at a building not far away and said.
"If there's no news of him here, there's nowhere else to go."
Yan Tingzhi also stopped. He followed Li Si's gaze and saw a pavilion standing in the wind and snow. In the night, the lights in the building were bright.
After looking at the pavilion for a while, he sighed and nodded.
Yes, all the news in the underworld should be here.
The Jianghu Fox Gathering is a place that is in a precarious situation. What is sold here is the Jianghu storm.
Yan Tingzhi naturally knew where this was, after all, it was written on the plaque.
Five words: a building swaying in the wind and rain.
…
As an intelligence organization spread all over the world, it has branches in almost every place in the world, and they are openly located without any cover.
Although the business they did was neither shady nor white, it seemed that they had reached some kind of tacit understanding with the court, so the court did not have too much control over them.
The Fengyu Piaoyao Building in Fengping City is different from other Fengyu Piaoyao Buildings in other places. It has six floors, one more floor than other places.
The reason is very simple, because it is the main building of Fengyu Tower, where the owner, the Jade-faced Fox Xiao Muchu, lives.
Before entering the building, Yan Tingzhi was already prepared to pay out of his own pocket to buy a piece of news about Yin Wuli.
Because he knew that it was impossible to get someone like Li Si who couldn't keep money to take out money, and he couldn't just watch Li Si steal things in front of him.
Therefore, even though he knew that Fengyu Tower was generally very expensive, he had already taken out his purse.
But what he didn't expect was that Li Si just walked in, said a few words to the head of the pavilion, then took out his jade token engraved with the word "thief" and showed it to the head. The two were invited to the sixth floor under the head's respectful expression.
You know, the guests of Fengyu Piaoyao Building will only be taken to the fifth floor at most, and the sixth floor is a place that only the owner of the building, Xiao Muchu, can go to.
Could it be that Li Si and Xiao Muchu are also involved? What is the relationship between these two?
Suddenly, Yan Tingzhi frowned and began to suffer from occupational disease. Many possibilities suddenly popped up in his mind.
But no matter which possibility is true, it shows that Li Si and Xiao Muchu have a close relationship.
No wonder, he thought, no wonder every time he chased Li Si, Li Si seemed to know it in advance.
It turned out that Fengyu Tower was assisting in secret. It seems that if we want to catch Li Si in the future, we have to avoid Fengyu Tower.
Well, actually, Yan Tingzhi was just overthinking.
After all, when he was chasing Li Si, Li Si and Xiao Muchu didn't know each other yet.
Even on a night like this, Fengyu Tower's business is still good, probably because there are so many unexpected events in the underworld during this period.
However, compared to the market-like noise on the third floor and the whispers of a few people on the fourth and fifth floors, the sixth floor of Fengyu Tower was completely silent.
Li Si and Yan Tingzhi were invited into a room that was decorated quite meticulously. The person in charge asked them to wait for a moment and then bowed and left.
There was a burner of incense burning in the room. The fragrance was neither light nor strong, but it made people feel refreshed.
The doors and windows in front of the railing were half open, revealing the snowy scenery of the winter city outside, which was also quite charming and elegant.
Unfortunately, neither of the two people in the room was in the mood to appreciate these things. They just sat there quietly, waiting for someone to come.
Fortunately, it didn't take too long before someone pushed open the door and walked in.
He was dressed in brocade clothes, so luxurious that he didn't look like a man of the world at all. He held a folding fan in his hand, not to wave it, but to cover his smile.
He seldom let people see his true expression. Usually, all people could see was what he revealed, such as his eyes, which were always squinting.
Yan Tingzhi recognized who this person was at a glance. Yes, at this time and place, who else could this person be except the Jade-faced Fox Xiao Muchu.
Xiao Muchu also noticed Yan Tingzhi. He looked at him with a smile, opened the fan in his hand, and spoke first.
"It is a great honor for our humble building to have Chief Constable Yan come to visit us personally."
Yan Tingzhi also cupped his hands and said in a businesslike manner: "I don't deserve it. It is my honor to meet Master Xiao."
After the two of them exchanged polite words, Xiao Muchu sat down.
He looked at Li Si, paused for a moment, and then made a joke.
"So the Thief Saint came through the front door. Next time I will remember to have my men keep their eyes open so as not to neglect you."
Li Si was amused by him and smiled bitterly, then waved his hand and said.
"No, I'll go through the window next time."
Anyway, the sixth floor is not high.
