Valkyrie Returns

Chapter 50 Baiyun Tower Qin Jiuxin is anxious

"Tell me, who do I look like?" The deadly soldier's cold voice echoed in Qin Jiu's ears over and over again. He tightly held the hidden weapon in his hand, even his knuckles turned white.Xiao Wu pursed his lips and tried to endure, suddenly magnified in his mind, the silver moon slipped across the half-open window and landed obliquely on the bamboo mat in the attic. Unfortunately, the last trace of warmth had long been lost in that light.

"Qingli..." Probably because of drinking too much wine, the junior brother who has always been imprinted in the deepest part of his heart is gradually replaced by Xiao Wu in night clothes.Whether it was him practicing martial arts pretending to be strong, or secretly hiding in a corner in a daze, Qin Jiu finally understood that this young man who didn't even have a name had been by his side for such a long time, so long that he only needed to think of Xiao Lin The name made my heart ache.

Perhaps, the heartless and ruthless dark guard camp is the warmest place.

Jiang Xia doesn't say it's big, and it doesn't mean it's small.Qin Jiu inquired around, and on the third day after Xiao Wu disappeared, he discovered that there was a mysterious luthier in Baiyun Building. Two, this luthier is extraordinary.

The bustling place in the south of the Yangtze River is not as good as Mobei and Xiliang. It is almost three steps and one piano and five steps and one flute. It seems that even the fishermen by the river can occasionally sing out a few tunes for pulling nets.The boss of Baiyun Tower, Wei Zhong, and Qin Jiu are also very close. One of the Eighteen Moyun Riders who once swept across the desert suddenly retreated into the Jianghu for unknown reasons. Therefore, even in the Jianghu, few people know that he is such a famous Bai Daoist. Daxia was once a member of the Palace of No Return.

Qin Jiu wore a bamboo hat with a wide brim on his head, and when there were many people in the lobby, he quietly left a small silver needle in the dark compartment of the counter.About a quarter of an hour later, Wei Zhong hurried to meet Qin Jiu at the Sanwei Noodle Restaurant at the west gate.The so-called Jianghu people Jianghu affairs, they have their own unique ways to convey news.

When Wei Zhong saw that Qin Jiu's fingertips holding the wine glass were as smooth and delicate as before, he hastily quickened his pace and sat opposite Qin Jiu: "I thought the young master bought Zhuangzi in Jiangxia to avoid people's eyes and ears, so I just bought it." I didn't go to visit, it's really rude, I didn't expect to see the Young Palace Master of Wuhui Palace again in my next lifetime, now the world is chaotic, but the martial arts has stabilized a lot, the young palace master deliberately left a secret sign this time, but Wuhui Palace Something big happened?"

"The Palace of No Return has disappeared from the rivers and lakes ten years ago. Elder Wei doesn't need to care about these vain rituals in the past. Today I have no choice but to ask you for information. Do you know who the luthier upstairs is?" Qin Jiuyun said calmly. Feng Qing said the news that the Palace of No Return no longer existed, as if the big faction that everyone talked about once had nothing to do with him.

Wei Zhong lowered his head and glanced around. Seeing that it was still early and there was no one in the noodle restaurant, he lowered his voice and said, "The qin master's background is very mysterious. No matter how much money he has, he only plays the qin for an hour in Baiyun Tower every day. A total of two pieces in total. The music is highly respected by the scholars of Jiangdong, and it is said that the piano is very good. Thanks to him, the business of Baiyun Building has been very good these days, and someone has reserved a seat on the second floor early. Introduce him The person who came here is the owner of the Nanguan who opened a painting boat in the middle of the river a few days ago. Since he can open a painting boat in a location that everyone covets to do business, he is obviously a man with means. Could it be that the young master and those people have some festivals? ?”

Wei Zhong didn't ask too many details about the destruction of Wuhui Palace, but poured out all the news he knew.

Hearing Wei Zhong's words, Qin Jiu didn't answer, and asked cautiously after a while: "Have you ever been to that boat?"

"Master, I was joking. I'm not very masculine, so why would I go to that kind of place on purpose. I only heard from a few regular customers that the decoration in the painting boat is very unique and elegant. The boss is also an expert, and he manages the business soundly. -color."

"Since the owner of the painting boat introduced the luthier, Elder Wei will accompany me to the painting boat tonight, so I can ask for some hard work along the way?"

"Master suspects that your friend has already been taken away by them?" Wei Zhong obviously knew Qin Jiu's temper like the back of his hand, as soon as he opened his mouth, Wei Zhong understood the deep meaning of his words.Qin Jiu nodded calmly without concealing his expression.

"Since that's the case, the young master might as well go after noon. They haven't settled the money yet. I think the luthier will come to Baiyun Tower tomorrow. Then I will find a way to help you hold them back. There shouldn't be so many peaks in a mere painting boat." Master, as long as I keep an eye on the young man next to the luthier, it will be much easier for the young master to do things."

"It's still the elder who is well thought out, so I'll wait for the elder's good news tomorrow." As soon as Qin Jiu finished speaking, he left in a hurry before Wei Zhong could reply. Wei Zhong heaved a long sigh, dumbfounded.Leaving money on the table: "Master, it's true, this habit has not changed after all these years."

After Qin Jiu hurriedly left the Sanwei Noodle Shop, he didn't go directly back to the small garden he had set up, but instead sat listlessly in a tea shed near his residence in a daze.Most of the vendors around the garden are familiar with Qin Jiu, and soon the boss of the leisurely clothing store Zhou came over to talk to Qin Jiu: "I don't know what kind of trouble Mr. Qin encountered in the city, why is he in a daze in the market early in the morning?" ?”

A wry smile flashed across Qin Jiu's mouth, and he said something absent-minded and perfunctory: "To tell the truth, Boss Zhou, Xiaowu has been missing for two days. He is young and doesn't know people's evil intentions. I'm afraid he has been tricked into it by the people from the South Hall. It's a pity that although I have some money, I have no connections in Jiangdong, so I can only worry about it here."

"Brother Qin is too outrageous for saying this. Aren't all the businessmen on our West Street all your connections? Although Mr. Zhou is not talented, it is not impossible to deal with this matter."

Qin Jiu was just perfunctory at first, but he didn't know that he got this unexpected joy. He hastily squeezed Boss Zhou's palm and stuffed three or four gold ingots into it: "Thanks to Boss Zhou for his righteousness. The boss must not refuse, just take it and take care of it up and down. As for whether it will be successful or not, after so many days, Xiaowu's child is probably in danger. He just wants to get him back. God has blessed me."

Boss Zhou has been doing business on West Street for so many years, and his family has a lot of money. Seeing that Qin Jiu took out such gold ingots as soon as he made a move, he also understood that he was in a hurry, and he was afraid that his family would go bankrupt.Since he had received so many benefits, he didn't dare to be negligent right now, he only exchanged a few words with Qin Jiu, and then rushed to find someone.

As soon as Boss Zhou left, the waiter in the teahouse brought a pot of tea with a smile on his face: "Young Master Qin, don't worry now, Boss Zhou's son-in-law is the general soldier of Jiangxia City. The wife of the young official's family came to his shop to order some clothes. It is rare for the father-in-law to open his mouth once, and his son-in-law would not disrespect him. The young master just put his heart in his stomach and wait for the good news."

The little girl kept her head down and talked for a long time, but Qin Jiu didn't respond.Turning around, I saw him holding the teacup expressionlessly, he didn't know what he was thinking, he sighed and was not in a hurry to ask for the reward, and left quietly.Qin Jiu remained calm on the surface, but he secretly rejoiced in his heart. If someone from the government searched openly, he would not be afraid of the owner of the boat making any trouble to hide him, and his steps to leave the tea shed would be much lighter.

When Qin Jiu changed into his night clothes and lurked in the river near Huafang, he had already made up his mind that he would come to rescue Xiao Wu this afternoon regardless of whether Wei Zhong stayed or left a signal. After all, the longer the delay, the less danger Xiao Wu would have. The bigger it is, let alone the person who died three years ago, he doesn't have any worries in his heart.

Qin Jiu only waited in the water for more than half an hour, when he saw a large group of officers and soldiers rushing into the painting boat in the south hall, he also took the opportunity to find an opportunity to sneak in.No matter how elegant the south hall is, it is still a place of dust and dust, but it is obvious that the boss has already taken care of it.The musicians and dancers in the boat didn't panic when they saw the officers and soldiers, they just sent two little boys in white clothes to guide them.The officers and soldiers were also very friendly and did not make too much noise.

Qin Jiu didn't expect the officers and soldiers to find Xiao Wu's whereabouts through ordinary searches, but even if he wanted to hide someone, it would take time, wouldn't it?Things really happened as Qin Jiu expected, he had been hiding patiently in the secret place of the back cabin, and soon saw two servants in green clothes quietly carrying the case out from the side room.Qin Jiu shot like lightning, and quickly killed them. Just as he was about to go to check, he heard someone approaching, so he had no choice but to push the two servants into the river.Then deliberately made a noise, and then escaped to the water again.

Qin Jiu made a lot of noise, and soon the chief soldier rushed in with a team of yamen servants, and was about to ask someone to move the case table blocking the way, but saw the blood stains next to the case table with sharp eyes, and his expression changed After a few strides, he rushed over and shouted: "There is someone hiding under the case, be careful, it looks like you may have been injured." Qin Jiu understood the yelling under the water, and then sneaked out After looking at Xiao Wu's familiar and pale side face, he felt relieved and left.

After Qin Jiu left a signal in Baiyun Building, he went back to the house, changed his clothes and took a beautiful bath, then went to Boss Zhou's tailor shop to wait for news.Because it was not a day off, the business of Boss Zhou's store was a bit slow, and when he saw Qin Jiu coming in, he immediately smiled and said, "Brother Qin, you don't have to worry, news of your son-in-law should come soon." Boss Zhou didn't finish his sentence. , the West Street became lively, and the two went out to see that it was the general soldier Qin Jiu saw on the boat just now,

Qin Jiu clenched his palms tightly so he didn't let himself rush out immediately.When they entered Boss Zhou's shop, they threw themselves on the sleepy Xiao Wu anxiously.Seeing that Qin Jiu was agitated, the commander-in-chief didn't want to say much, he just explained a few words to Boss Zhou and took him away.
