Volume 3: Evil Ghosts Eat People Chapter 182: Ascending to Heaven
The next morning, Xu Zun was awakened by the crowing of roosters.
When he looked sideways, he saw Sanhe Gang's leader Li Ronger lying beside him with her eyes open.
Soft jade and warm fragrance, in the same bed.
last night……
Um……
Xu Zun knew that he could not use the excuse that "the wine brewed in Ku Shui River has a strong aftereffect" to shirk responsibility. He was completely sober during the "strong wind and heavy rain at five o'clock in the morning" and "the sea and river turned upside down to wash away the remains of the slaughter" last night.
At this moment, on the bed, the two of them looked at each other in silence, and the atmosphere was slightly awkward.
Recalling last night, Xu Zun remembered that the two of them were discussing business before, discussing how to conduct the Zishan Alliance and how to solve the evil ghost murder case.
But later, as they talked, they turned to life, feelings, poetry and painting.
Li Ronger didn't know what happened, but she opened her heart to him and talked about her family affairs. She said that her father Li Beitian died suddenly in his prime and the cause of death was strange. They had always suspected that it was the work of the Zishan faction because the two factions were fighting fiercely at that time.
After his father's death, he was surrounded by dangers and had a hard time. The elders in the gang and his younger brothers all wanted to compete for the position of gang leader.
I was framed several times and almost lost my life, and those who framed me were all my closest relatives...
When talking about sad things, Li Ronger actually burst into tears, which made people feel pity for her.
So Xu Zun used his own life experience to persuade her, saying that his experience was worse than Li Ronger's, and his father Xu Changlin also died young, causing the family to fall into poverty and even lose his home...
As they were both wanderers in this world, the distance between them became closer after such a conversation. Li Ronger's cheeks flushed and her eyes moved, she was so radiant and charming.
When the atmosphere became tense, Li Ronger asked Xu Zun if he could recite poetry.
Xu Zunze learned on the spot and recited a poem "Linjiangxian" to Li Ronger immediately.
When he read the words "I suddenly feel my heart breaking at the end of the world, who can understand my love for you? One thought turns spring into winter. I borrow your unfulfilled wish to send you my love for the next life", Li Ronger "accidentally" threw Xu Zun to the ground...
Originally, Xu Zun planned to continue pretending to be cool, saying that he wanted to exorcise ghosts and cast spells or something, so that Li Ronger could stay in the same room with him to maintain the ambiguity.
Unexpectedly, Li Ronger didn't want to keep the ambiguity, and seeing the gentle land coming so suddenly, Xu Zun had to use alternative methods to exorcise the ghost for Li Ronger...
At this moment, with a rustling sound, Li Ronger quickly put on her robe and went to the stage to put on her makeup in front of the mirror.
Watching the beauty dressing herself, Xu Zun felt mixed emotions. He could feel that Li Ronger's closeness to him was more like a release of pressure.
Because from experience, she is not some naive girl who has never experienced the world, and it is impossible for her to fall in love with me at first sight.
Interacting with herself is just a way for her to relieve stress.
Of course, Xu Zun’s thoughts went beyond the surface. In his opinion, Li Ronger’s behavior was still a little abnormal.
After all, she is now in danger of being killed by ghosts at any time. In this situation, it is obviously unreasonable for her to still take the initiative to communicate with herself.
Could it be that...her fear and worry before were all fake? Was she just playing along with me?
call……
Thinking of this, Xu Zun suddenly felt a chill on his back.
Yes, as the leader of a gang, how could she not have some scheming and cunning?
I don’t know who is fooling whom.
However, no matter who is fooling whom, what happened last night is true, and the feeling is real. It is not like what happened with Chunniang that only exists in memory...
Seeing the beauty dressing up, Xu Zun also put on his clothes and walked to the window.
The view outside the window reminded him of a famous Tang Dynasty poem, so he recited it impromptu: "Two orioles sing in the green willows, a line of egrets fly to the west. The window contains the eternal snow on the Western Hills , and the door is moored with ships from Dongwu."
"Good poem!" Li Rong'er, who was putting on her makeup, praised it. While drawing her eyebrows, she said, "But it's a little inappropriate to say 'Go to the West', isn't it?"
"Oh..." Xu Zun realized that he had recited it wrong this time and quickly corrected himself, "Go to the sky, go to the sky! Haha..."
Xu Zun covered his face in embarrassment. He only learned Chinese in elementary school...
"Master Xu," Li Ronger continued, "I will arrange the Purple Mountain Alliance today. Everything else is easy to handle. I am just worried about one thing."
Xu Zun knew that what Li Ronger was worried about was the feud between him and Zishan Sect. If the location was set in the Zishan Sect's base camp, would Zishan Sect be disadvantageous to him?
"It doesn't matter," Xu Zun said confidently, "With Boss Li backing me up, they won't dare to do anything to me!"
"Master Xu," Li Ronger said solemnly, "I can support you, but you must be prepared, I can't hold on for long!
"Before Yue Jinglei comes to Yonghui, you'd better solve the evil ghost incident, otherwise, I'm afraid I can't protect you..."
It’s Yue Jinglei again!
Xu Zun was slightly surprised. It seemed that the reputation of the ten great masters of Daxuan was so famous that they had already attracted the fear of countless people before they even arrived.
Could it be that... my host's knowledge is too shallow? In Daxuan 's military system, is it really possible to fight one hundred people alone and remain undefeated in the martial arts world?
At this time, Li Ronger had already put on her makeup and said, "In that case, my lord, just wait for my news! So many things have happened in Yonghui City, and they have all lost their leaders. I don't think they will reply soon.
"Perhaps, the alliance will not be formed until tomorrow."
When speaking, Li Ronger was dignified and polite, completely different from last night.
"Okay," Xu Zun said, "Then I'll wait for news from Boss Li!"
Li Ronger bowed to Xu Zun, then opened the door and prepared to leave.
"Hmm..." Xu Zun suddenly remembered something and asked, "Boss Li, I almost forgot that there is one more thing I need your assistance with."
At this moment, seeing the door open, Li Yuner also appeared at the door. She looked at Li Ronger and then at Xu Zun. Naturally, she understood something and said nothing.
"What's the matter?" Li Ronger asked.
"I heard that when Yan Sen from the big warehouse was attacked by the macaques, he was drinking with three ship owners from the Gui Gang in that tavern. Can you help me find those three people?" Xu Zun said, "I want to take them to the crime scene to understand the situation at the time."
"Oh, sure. I'll arrange it right away." Li Ronger nodded, and then asked, "By the way, Master Xu, will that ghost do anything bad to me again today?"
"Boss Li," Xu Zun said without hesitation, "You still need to be careful about everything. Today, you'd better replace your personal guards and don't stay alone. Also, don't go to places that are too cold."
"Okay," Li Ronger bowed again, "Thank you for your guidance, Master Xu!"
After saying that, Li Ronger left the room.
Li Yuner looked at Xu Zun carefully, and was obviously very curious about the behavior of the two last night, but no matter how curious she was, she couldn't show it.
After a while, a servant came to invite Xu Zun to have breakfast. Xu Zun then met up with Zhao Yu and others and prepared to go to the Kuhe Wharf to investigate the macaque murder case.
…
After separating from Xu Zun, Li Ronger did not immediately arrange the Zishan meeting, but hurried back to her residence and dismissed the gate guards.
Then, she quietly came behind the bed, moved the mechanism at the head of the bed, and a stone door suddenly appeared at the head of the bed.
After entering the stone gate, there are several secret rooms. A man in black is sitting in front of a stone table in the secret room.
Seeing the man in black appear, Li Ronger immediately made a special gesture, then bowed and saluted, muttering:
"The upper Xuan will destroy the dissidents, and all the gods will return to their origin. Cut off the nine gates above, and destroy the flatterers below!
"Dao Zun," she bowed to the man in black and reported, "Xu Zun wants me to contact several major gangs to hold an alliance in Yongxing Fort. He wants to openly investigate the evil ghost murder case. It seems that he has some confidence!"
"Yeah." The man in black nodded slightly.
"Dao Zun," Li Ronger asked again, "I wonder what instructions are there from above?"
"Xu Zun ruined my Shangxuan plan, so he must be killed without mercy!" the man in black said fiercely, "When he finds out the truth about the evil ghost killing people, that will be his death!"
