"Speaking of Fat Boy, his original name was Lei. His mother left home and disappeared when he was born. His father was hit to death by a foreign carriage when he was passing by a horse path in his early years. He has no relatives except a grandmother."
The uncle who bought the clothes sighed, "Their two wives and grandchildren have been selling fried pancakes in the alley for two or three years. Recently, I noticed that the old lady seems to be in poor health, getting thinner and thinner... Didn't expect... alas..."
"Uncle Wang..." The fat baby was sobbing as he hugged her.
Uncle Wang hurriedly bought a bunch of small sugar figurines and handed them to him, but he still couldn't stop the child from crying.
"Here is a little thought, take good care of him..." Lin Xin didn't know what to say, after a moment of silence, he just took out some broken silver, about a dozen taels, and forced it to him.
"I can't help it, if I take your money, I'll be nothing!" Uncle Wang was very excited, but his strength was not as strong as Lin Xin's, and he squeezed it into his hands.
"Let's leave it to the fat boy in the future. This little guy will have plenty of money to spend in the future. It's fate to meet each other." Lin Xin strode away without looking back.
He didn't stop any longer, but went directly to the Peacock Gate headquarters where Kong Yuhui was. Regarding this epidemic, he planned to inquire carefully about the situation, what kind of thing is that six-winged bee.
Next to the six-story attic with a yellow roof and red bricks, there is a large area of dark green woods, and there are bursts of shouts and shouts from the forest.
On the fifth floor of the attic, the windows are open, and there is a table of banquets, three stacks of side dishes and a jug of wine.
Kong Yuhui and Lin Xin sat facing each other, surrounded by two timid maids. The breeze blows, bringing a hint of coolness faintly.
"Brother Lin Xian went back and forth. He seemed to be very worried. He must have asked me for something." Kong Yuhui was always shrewd, so he could tell that Lin Xin came to him for something. In this Peacock City, everything was trivial , but as long as he wants to know, there is nothing he cannot know.
Lin Xin picked up a piece of stewed rabbit meat with the chopsticks in front of him and put it in his mouth.
"I came here to ask Brother Kong carefully, what's the matter with the epidemic in this city?" He frowned slightly and lowered his voice.
"Why are you so concerned about this? This epidemic has already been taken over by the doctor in charge of Shengjitang. There will be no problem, and it will recover soon." Kong Yuhui disagrees, "To be honest, this epidemic will occur once every late autumn , it is commonplace in this Peacock City."
"I saw someone die in front of me with my own eyes today, so I got this disease." Lin Xin said in a low voice, and he looked sideways at the left and right maids.
Kong Yuhui immediately knew what he meant and waved his hand.
"You go down first."
"yes."
The two maids retreated obediently and closed the door when they left.
Lin Xin waited until the footsteps of the maid gradually faded away and went downstairs, then paused, and looked sideways at the sunny Qiuyang outside.
"Brother Kong, have you ever heard of a bee with six wings and only two legs?"
He put down his chopsticks and looked at Kong Yuhui who was opposite him.
Kong Yuhui's face was calm, and he didn't seem to be moved at all.
He picked up a chopstick of cold cucumber, put it in his mouth, chewed and swallowed it.
"Six-winged bee... My dear brother, how can there be such a weird bee in this world? You are joking."
"It's not a joke." Lin Xin said lightly, "Today I saw a six-winged bee crawling out of the ear hole of an old man's corpse. It was still staring at me, and I cut it into two sections with a sword."
Kong Yuhui's face remained unchanged, as if he hadn't heard what he said at all.
Neither of them spoke anymore, and the atmosphere seemed a little dull for a while.
There was silence for about half a minute. Kong Yuhui put down his chopsticks.
"I advise you to leave this matter alone, it's beyond our control."
"What do you mean?" Lin Xin frowned slightly.
Kong Yuhui pondered for a while.
"Let me tell you the truth, you can see the six-winged bee because of the resentment talisman, and it is impossible for people who don't have the resentment talisman to see this kind of thing. These six-winged bees are not uncommon in my Peacock City In fact, many nobles and high-level officials know about it. It’s just that we have kept the water in the well and the water in the river.”
"You mean, this thing is controlled by someone?" Lin Xin heard the implication.
"As far as that is concerned, brother, it's best not to meddle in other people's business, otherwise you and I won't be able to take care of this matter." Kong Yuhui said with some deep meaning.
Lin Xin suddenly fell silent, chewing his words carefully.
"Okay, let's not talk about it. You listen to my advice and leave him alone. It will dissipate naturally in a short time." Kong Yuhui laughed, "Here I want to tell you a piece of good news. I originally planned to send someone to inform him Yours, I didn't expect you to come here on your own initiative."
"What good news?"
"The letter you entrusted me to send has already been delivered. As for the person I was looking for, I have also found it. Would you like to go and have a look together?" Kong Yuhui smiled.
"Oh, so fast?"
Lin Xin raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this. He didn't plan to get into the matter of the six-winged bee. Since Kong Yuhui had already mentioned this, he naturally meant that there was a deep-water inside story that he couldn't afford to offend. He is not a hot-blooded young man who insists on absolute justice. This kind of thing is to do what he can, and he will not be pedantic if it endangers his own interests.
"I have found someone, but I haven't shown up to meet them. Let's go together."
Kong Yuhui invited.
Lin Xin put aside the matter of the fat baby for the time being, and got up happily.
The place where Lin Xin and Kong Yuhui came together was a feasting and drinking attic.
The sisters in front of the attic were all dressed up, and they kept pulling the guests with sweet voices. The gorgeously decorated carriages were parked in the open space in front of the attic, and there were special servants in charge of guarding them.
The two of them didn't disturb the others, but came secretly with only a dozen inner guards from the Peacock Gate.
"The person who came to report said it's in here." Kong Yuhui laughed.
"Go in and have a look." Lin Xin nodded.
The two walked towards the attic one after the other. There was a big plaque hanging on the attic: Cuiyun Tower.
"Are these two masters going to have fun, or drink some wine and listen to music?" A woman with heavy make-up came up to her and asked with a coquettish smile.
"I don't know if the two masters have any acquaintances... ah!"
Before he could finish speaking, a person behind Kong Yuhui stepped forward and pushed him away.
Kong Yuhui didn't even look at her, and went straight in with Lin Xin. All the people who stood in front of him along the way were pushed away by his subordinates. Suddenly there was a burst of exclamation and cursing from the left and right.
"Two gentlemen...!" Several women in charge rushed out to greet them, as if they were about to say something nice, but when they saw that Kong Yuhui and others did not go upstairs after entering, but went straight to the corridor of the wing room at the back of the first floor, they immediately All faces changed.
Before the two of them could speak, they saw the two guards at the door of the corridor greeted them with cold faces.
"This is closed by Deputy General Yu! Without the general's warrant, no one is allowed to enter!" The guards at the gate were actually two big soldiers in full armor.
"Closed?" Kong Yuhui was stopped by someone, and sneered, "Where I, Kong Yuhui wants to go, no one in Peacock City dares to say the word "closed!"
The two inner guards behind him didn't say anything, they stepped forward a few times, twisted the arms of the two guards, beat them into shrimps and threw them aside.
"Who is it!" Suddenly, as if a hornet's nest was provoked, more than a dozen simple swordsmen in armor rushed out of the corridor, and the sound of drawing swords continued.
Kong Yuhui didn't even look at it, and walked directly towards the corridor.
Lin Xin followed closely behind.
The inner guards behind the two rushed forward to block the gushing sword soldiers. These more than a dozen internal guards are powerful, and each of them has practiced horizontal kung fu, and Pu Dao actually made a dull wooden sound when he slashed on several of them. Can't even hurt.
The two walked into the corridor, only the penultimate room at the end of the corridor was open.
"Who! Dare to attack my Yufu! Don't you die!?" Suddenly two people rushed out of the room, it was Yu Chang and Shu Luoyi.
Among the two, Yu Chang was wearing a yellow jacket and a long blue sword on his waist. Shu Luoyi changed into a white dress, which reached her knees. Seeing the movement outside the corridor, both of them were frosty.
"It's the first time in Peacock City that I've met someone who dared to speak to me like that..." Kong Yuhui sneered, his hand already on the hilt of his waist sword. The great figures of Jiuding can greatly increase the power they can mobilize. It is the time when you are in high spirits, and you don't want to be swept away in front of your friends at this time.
"Kong Yuhui...!" When Yu Chang saw the first person who came in, his heart suddenly turned cold. In Peacock City, apart from ordinary people, no one with a certain status would know Kong Yuhui. The master who doesn't spit out his bones, has broken through his innateness when he comes back this time, and is known as the young master of the Peacock Sect who is most likely to take over the position of sect master!
Not to mention his father, Lieutenant General Yu, even if the Peacock City Lord came in person, he had to greet him well.
"It turns out to be Master Kong Shaomen..." Just thinking of Shu Luoyi standing next to him, Yu Chang gained a little bit of confidence. Shu Luoyi's family is a real Qi practitioner, and he is not afraid of Kong Yuhui's background. If he lost face in front of Shu Luoyi at this time, it would be almost impossible to get along with her and pursue her in the future.
Thinking of this, he was about to bite the bullet and continue to push forward, when suddenly a familiar face came out from behind Kong Yuhui.
"Brother Yu, Junior Sister Shu, we just parted for a few days, and unexpectedly we meet here again." Lin Xin walked out with a smile on his face.
"Brother Lin?"
Shu Luoyi, who was just about to get angry, was also slightly taken aback, and temporarily put down the idea of getting ready to do something.
"What? You know each other?" Kong Yuhui was also taken aback.
"Of course, not only acquaintances, but also teammates on this mission." Lin Xin explained. "Are you also here to find the mission?"
Yu Chang breathed a sigh of relief immediately, and he didn't need to be caught in the middle.
"Yes, yes, it is true that the flood rushed into the Dragon King Temple. It turned out that it was for the same purpose. It turns out that Master Kong Shaomen and Brother Lin are friends. Since they are both friends, then they don't know each other. Come in quickly."
After he finished speaking, he seemed to feel that he was acting too eagerly, so he straightened his face and quickly changed the subject.
"We also just discovered the mission target, but... the situation is a bit wrong."
