Chapter 58: The Killer (Part II)
Hearing that it was Cui Wenqing coming, Nalan Bing drew a circle with his hands unhurriedly and gathered his posture, spit out a breath of turbidity, jumped off the bed lightly and neatly, and asked, "How is the situation outside?" ”
Cui Wenqing sighed and said: "These Xixia people are really ruthless, they killed seven innocent people in one night, and the people of the entire Fugu County are panicking, everyone is talking about this matter, but they don't dare to go out at night." ”
Nalan Bing was slightly stunned, and sighed lightly: "I didn't want to enter the city, I didn't expect to cause such a disaster, it's really unexpected, but it's too late to regret it." ”
Cui Wenqing asked curiously: "Miss Nalan, I am not here to inquire about your identity, but I feel a little curious, since these Western Xia masters have concluded that you are in the city, why don't they secretly look for it, but instead make such a big move and kill innocents indiscriminately?" ”
Nalan Bing groaned for a moment and said, "They want to force me out, so they threaten the people. ”
"Oh, in that case, why don't you choose to report to the official, girl, but instead want to live here and not be able to shrink?"
"Humph! How could I, Nalan Bing, seek the assistance of the Great Qi Mansion! Nalan snorted coldly, as if he felt that he had said too much, and hurriedly kept silent.
Cui Wenqing understood that this girl's tone was extremely tight, but she was afraid that it would be difficult to get out of her words, so she thought about it and said softly: "Actually, there is a clever plan below, but you can ensure that you can get rid of this group of Xixia masters smoothly and get out of the city smoothly." ”
"You?" Nalan Bing's tone was exactly the same as the one he had just now, and he said disdainfully, "Young Master Cui, you are a cloth merchant, and you don't know any martial arts, what can you do to wish me to get rid of the Western Xia master?" ”
Cui Wenqing said with a smile: "You don't care about this, in short, I have a way, just ask you if you believe it or not?" ”
"Don't believe it!" Nalan Bing shook his head neatly.
Cui Wenqing was a little embarrassed by her directness: "Give you another chance to think about it, in fact, you don't have to do anything at that time, just attract the assassin to Pengyun Tower in the city, if you don't believe it, we might as well gamble." ”
"Bet? What to bet on? ”
"How about a hundred taels of silver?"
Nalan Bing was a little hesitant when he saw Cui Wenqing's face and didn't mean to joke at all.
One hundred taels is not a small amount, it can be of great use to her at present, if she can win one hundred taels of silver, it is very good.
It's just to go out and attract those Western Xia masters, it should be very easy, but it is better to accept it.
Thinking of this, Nalan Bing bowed his head and said, "Okay, I promise you." ”
Hearing this, Cui Wenqing was greatly encouraged, and said with a smile: I earned two hundred taels in one hour, heh! Brother is really a genius!

At the time of the third watch, the sky was blue, the sky was cloudless, and a cold moon shone on Fugu County, which was quietly almost covered by heavy snow, quiet and far away.
A wild cat let out a long cry and climbed up to the corner of the eaves with a swift and neat turn, squatting on it with its eyes narrowed slightly, its pupils flashing with a cold green light in the dark night.
At this moment, the wild cat seemed to see something, and with a somewhat uneasy muffled voice, he quickly got up from the eaves where he was squatting, turned around and walked away without looking back.
A lonely figure appeared on the street, tall and graceful, with fluttering white clothes, just like the fairy of the Moon Palace who suddenly appeared in the world, beautiful and mysterious.
After walking not far, the woman in white walked forward with a slight pause, and the beautiful eyes outside the mask showed a playful look.
Just like a breeze blowing on a long street, there was suddenly a man in black three feet away in front of the woman in white.
The man in black stood with his hands in his hands, his expression was cold, and he said lightly: "Miss Nalan, from Xingqing Mansion to Fuzhou, you and I have fought a total of thirteen times, and you have escaped cunningly every time, but today in Fugu, I am afraid that it will be the time for you to lose." ”
The woman in white sneered: "If you don't hide the black cloud bird, you are just asking for a way to live, so why should Master Li Helm be forced to force each other?" ”
The man in black snorted coldly: "I don't hide the Empress Dowager's majestic strategy, I will definitely not be untrustworthy, quickly hand over the things, and let you live." ”
The woman in white snorted lightly and said lightly: "The thing is indeed here, but it is my life-saving talisman, you have the ability to take it!" ”
"Rather stubborn, look for death!"
The man in black shouted angrily, and suddenly reached out with one hand, grabbing the shoulder of the woman in white.
The woman in white smiled disdainfully, but did not make contact with her, and her body swept away quickly behind her.
The man in black's expression changed, and immediately ordered: "Chase, don't let him escape." ”
As soon as the words fell, there were suddenly many black figures on the houses on both sides of the street, all of whom fled in the direction where the woman in white had fled.
It was pitch black inside Pengyun Tower, and there were dozens of people hiding among them.
In the wing room on the third floor, Zhi Zhao was standing in front of the window and staring at the empty long street outside, and after the three watches on the city tower fought loudly, he turned around and asked a little impatiently: "Husband, it has been the third watch, why haven't the murderers you mentioned have not appeared?" ”
Cui Wenqing was leaning on the table to take a nap, and said with a smile: "How can this murderer be on time like you and the governor?" Maybe something is delayed, don't worry, they will come. ”
Bai Yifei reminded with a smile: "Uncle, the three hundred soldiers of our Zhenwu Army have been hiding here for several hours with you in the winter, if the murderers don't come, uncle, you should think about how to calm the grievances of the soldiers." ”
"Hey, you have a little confidence in me, am I such an unreliable person?" Cui Wenqing is angry and funny.
Zhi Zhao smiled slightly, and was about to speak, when suddenly his beautiful eyes froze, and a somewhat solemn look suddenly appeared on his face, and he said in a low voice: "Don't speak, there seems to be movement." ”
Bai Yifei frowned when he heard this, and hurriedly walked to the window to take a look, and saw that there was a group of black-clothed people hurrying in the direction of Pengyun Tower, and in a blink of an eye, they were at the corner of the street.
Seeing this, Bai Yifei was very excited, lowered his voice and said excitedly: "Here, my uncle is really a god!" ”
Cui Wenqing scolded with a smile: "Godman, your uncle, you were still suspicious of Lao Tzu just now!" Now it's time to sing the praises again! Hey, pay attention, see if there is a little girl in white, she is her own person, don't catch the mistake. ”
"Understood." Bai Yifei nodded, his face was already square.
Zhi Zhao glanced at Cui Wenqing, who was still leaning on the table, with a little light in his eyes, and said secretly: This guy seems to be hiding a lot of things behind my back, and when these murderers are solved, I will interrogate you well!
At this time, the woman in white had already attracted the group of people in black to the corner of the intersection of the two streets, just downstairs in Pengyun Tower.
Zhe Zhaofeng's eyes were cold, and at the moment when the man in black passed by, he suddenly pulled out the saber at his waist and said in a loud voice: "Sons, the thieves have arrived, kill the enemy with this commander!" ”
