Volume 2: The Two Great Prideful Ones (Part 1) Chapter 57 Li Laoshi's Treasure
It's late at night.
The lights in the city are dim.
It was getting late and the tavern should have been closing, but Su Weiyun paid an extra gold leaf, so the owner was of course very happy and agreed to let the two of them stay for a while.
The door was ajar and the candle was dim.
The waiter was leaning against the empty table and gradually falling asleep.
Bai Kaixin and Su Weiyun slept on a bench each .
Both of them were breathing evenly and seemed to be sleeping soundly.
Being able to sleep soundly in such a situation is indeed a skill.
.
Su Weiyun turned over and rolled off the bench, lying on the ground.
"Ouch...what happened..."
Su Weiyun stood up and went to the toilet at the back, muttering to himself.
As soon as he walked to the back, his expression suddenly became extremely clear. He looked around vigilantly, and after confirming that there was no one, he climbed onto the wall with his hands.
Then he jumped lightly and immediately left the tavern, disappearing into the vast night and nowhere to be found.
Su Weiyun actually slipped away secretly.
He really had to go.
When Su Weiyun was with Bai Kaixin, he was always frightened and uneasy, as if there were dozens of barrels of gunpowder around him that could explode at any time and blow him to ashes.
So he never thought about doing anything big with Bai Kaixin.
This is probably what Bai Kaixin really didn't expect.
…
The next day, daytime.
Kaesong.
Su Weiyun planned to leave the city from the south, and the journey was safe without any interception.
But when he reached the south gate, he suddenly noticed a person standing in front of the gate.
Jade-faced divine judge.
Bai Kaixin said that Jiang Biehe would definitely not deploy defenses in the southeast direction, but he still underestimated Jiang Biehe's caution and meticulousness.
Although there are no heavy troops guarding this place, it is not easy to deal with the Jade-faced Judge alone.
The Jade-faced Judge's wounds from last night's fight had not yet healed, and he was now sitting in front of the door with a pale face, scanning the passers-by with his sharp eyes.
Not only the appearance and description, but also the figure and behavior are of concern to them.
Su Weiyun knew from a distance that if he walked over like this, there was at least a 60% chance that he would be recognized.
Even if the Jade-faced Judge was no match for him when he was seriously injured, he would be in big trouble if his whereabouts were exposed.
Su Weiyun turned around and left.
The Jade-faced Judge had sharp eyes and had been staring at this place for a long time. He suddenly stood up and shouted, "Stop the man in green !"
He was talking about Su Weiyun.
Su Weiyun pretended not to hear it, without even pausing, and continued walking back to the city.
The Jade-faced Judge's expression changed, and he said, "The man in green in front, stop!"
Su Weiyun walked faster and faster, his whole body seemed light as if it weighed nothing, and he was eager to take off, as if he was a kite blown by the wind.
In the blink of an eye, he had walked fifty or sixty feet, walked onto the street, and joined the crowd.
The Jade-faced Judge became even more certain that the person he was chasing was definitely suspicious, so he immediately used his Qinggong skills and rushed to the street to pull Su Weiyun out.
He had a pale face, red lips, and eyes as sharp as knives. He stood out in the crowd like a crane among chickens, looking around, searching for Su Weiyu's trace.
Su Weiyun quickened his pace, his thoughts racing, with murderous intent in his heart. He wanted to lure this man into the alley and kill him secretly.
Just at this moment, a hand suddenly stretched out from a sedan chair on the street and patted Su Weiyun on the shoulder.
Su Weiyun subconsciously used the Eagle Claw Technique, grabbed his forearm, and twisted it hard, almost crippling his hand.
The man exerted his strength, but his arm did not move at all. He opened the curtain of the sedan chair and called out, "Brother Su, it's me!"
Su Weiyun looked over and saw that the man who greeted him had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and an extraordinary bearing. He was actually the successor of the Gu family of Jiangnan Divine Fist - "Jade-faced Divine Fist" Gu Renyu.
After Murong Jiu left Bishui Villa, he returned from Shuzhong.
Gu Renyu was dressed neatly, but he looked anxious. He said, "Brother Su, something happened. Come with me!"
Su Weiyun let him pull her into the sedan chair.
"stop!"
When this voice was heard, Su Weiyun had already entered the sedan chair and lowered the curtain.
Gu Renyu was startled when he heard the voice, looked at the person who came, and immediately clasped his fists and said, "I am Gu Renyu, are you the famous 'Jade-faced Judge '?"
As soon as Gu Renyu saw the person coming, he recognized his identity.
The Jade-faced Judge also recognized Gu Renyu and greeted him, "So you are the young master of the Gu family. I wonder if this friend in green is yours..."
As the Jade-faced Judge spoke, he stared closely at the sedan chair, wanting to extend his gaze inside to see whether the man in green sitting inside was one of the two people he was looking for.
Although both of them have the word "Jade-faced" in their names, their demeanor and temperament are very different. In front of Gu Renyu, the Jade-faced Judge is like a fake actor with a lot of powder on.
Gu Renyu said, "Are you talking about Brother Su? He is a distinguished guest of the Murong family and also my friend."
After hearing this, the Jade-faced Judge still did not give up.
"Can I get to know him too?"
Su Weiyun was about to make up an excuse, but the always polite Gu Renyu interrupted and said, "I really have something urgent to do this time. I don't have time to waste here. I hope you can forgive me."
He called out and asked the sedan bearers to leave the city.
The Jade-faced Judge looked extremely unhappy.
Not to mention anything else, just the title of a distinguished guest of the Murong family was something he dared not touch.
Moreover, according to seniority, Jade-faced Judge is indeed Gu Renyu's predecessor; but if we compare their martial arts and status, I'm afraid Gu Renyu is superior.
Therefore, the Jade-faced Judge did not dare to be careless and had to let Gu Renyu's sedan chair go.
Gu Renyu returned to the sedan chair and immediately called out, "Brother Su, something big has happened."
Su Weiyun looked at him in surprise, not knowing how to respond.
There have been a lot of big things happening about him recently - both the little fairy and Murong Jiu have hated him to the core; and Jiang Biehe is even hunting him down throughout the city.
Su Weiyun really didn't know what Gu Renyu was going to talk about.
Fortunately, Gu Renyu was eager to speak: "Brother Su, did you ask Miss Jiu to send someone to Jiangnan to inquire about a man named 'Li Laoshi'?"
Su Weiyun's expression changed for a while, and he said, "Yes, that's the case."
He could probably guess from Gu Renyu's tone that Murong Jiu probably hadn't told anyone else about what happened between him and him.
Gu Renyu said: "The fairy Zhang Jing found out about this, and she rushed over to find out what happened. But she found that there were more than a dozen large boxes hidden in one room of Li Laoshi's house, which were filled with gold, silver, and various pearls and jade."
Su Weiyun asked: "Then what?"
Gu Renyu said: "Then she only told me to call someone to help her carry the gold."
Su Weiyun asked: "Are you planning to help her now?"
Gu Renyu shook his head firmly and said, "That's your money. If she takes it, it will be disgraceful. I will never help her."
He thought that all the gold in Li Laoshi's house was obtained by Su Weiyun's chance encounter, but he didn't know that it was actually the savings of the ten evil men over the past few decades.
The sedan chair was carried by people and slowly walked out of the city.
Outside the city.
Su Weiyun and Gu Renyu got out of the sedan chair. Outside the sedan chair, there were trees standing in a row. Next to the trees, there were more than ten horses tied and were being looked after.
"Mr. Gu, this is the horse that the young lady prepared from the Murong family. You..."
Gu Renyu said, "No need for so much. I will just go with Brother Su to find Miss Zhang."
Although the man looked confused, he did not ask any questions and quietly led two fine horses.
Su Weiyun was startled and said, "You want me to go see the fairy? I'll be surprised if she doesn't kill me when she sees me!"
In fact, Su Weiyun was not afraid of the little fairy, but he always felt guilty about Murong Jiu and did not dare to have too much contact with the Murong family.
Gu Renyu's face flushed with anxiety. He asked, "But are you going to let her take away the gold?"
Su Weiyun thought for a moment, and suddenly remembered something, and said, "Okay, I'll go with you."
The two men then rode away on their horses, a cloud of dust rising.
