Chapter 71

When Yejingtang and Junshantai passed by each other, there were also three targets looking at the windows of the overcrowded tea shops on the street.

Xue Bodhi pretended to be a gray-haired old businessman, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, and frowning.

Chen Ming and Lu Ruan obeyed Xue Bodhi's arrangement and came to assassinate King Jing's close expert. They were sitting on both sides of the table at this time, with equally dignified expressions.

"Yesterday Chen Ming took advantage of the rain and went to the boat to find out the details. Before he got close, there was something strange in the cabin. This kid is so young, and his experience in the world is too old..."

"I suspect that there are still masters on board, but after a few days of observation, the young man who often changes shifts with Ye Jingtang seems to have good skills, but at most he is only at the second-rate level. Could it be that the master is in the dark?"

Xue Bodhi was also wondering about this matter. Ye Jingtang had an ambiguous relationship with Prince Jing. He guessed that Prince Jing might arrange for guards when he went out on this trip, so he did not act rashly after leaving Beijing, and wanted to find out the identity of the guards first.

But there are only nine people on the merchant ship, Ye Jingtang, six servants on the ship, and two women; let's talk about kung fu foundation, they seem to know a little bit, but they can be said to be masters, except for Ye Jingtang, no one else is a master weather.

According to the experience of Jianghu, if you can't find out the details of the opponent, it means that the opponent is superior, and if you act rashly, you are looking for a dead end, and you should leave decisively.

But right now is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and Xue Bodhi borrows the hands of his employer to do his private work. Once he misses it, he may never have such an opportunity again.

Xue Bodhi pondered for a long time, but still opened his mouth and said:

"In our line of business, don't be impatient. We've already arrived at Xiwang Town, and Ye Jingtang will definitely be walking around and socializing. As long as we continue to follow, we will always find opportunities."

Chen Ming and Lu Ruan are both ruthless people who lick blood at the edge of their swords, and they both feel that this errand is not right.

But in terms of seniority in Jianghu, the two of them combined are not as good as Xue Bodhi, and they still obeyed the command, pretending to be Xue Bodhi's entourage, and pulling a cart of groceries into the crowd.

Xue Bodhi is experienced in assassination, Ye Jingtang and the others were not aware of his stalking.

After Ye Jingtang and his party entered Xiwang Town, they first stayed in an inn, and then went out to the town's trading venues, visiting merchants from all over the place, and talking about various trivial matters.

Although I didn't see the guards around Ye Jingtang, but there are too many people in Xiwang Town, among them there are many experts in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and there is too much noise in the street, which can easily cause troubles from heroes and righteous men.

The three of Xue Bodhi contemplated secretly for a long time, but they didn't find a chance. The time went from morning to dusk, and Ye Jingtang returned to the inn.

There are many people from the rivers and lakes staying in the inn. They don't know the internal situation of the inn, so they can't act rashly. They have already given up and plan to continue looking for opportunities tomorrow.

But what people didn't expect was that Ye Jingtang, who had been so cautious all the way, suddenly presented an opportunity in front of him.

The sky was getting dark, the rain continued, and the streets of Xiwang Town were lit up with lights.

Xue Bodhi and two helpers took turns watching in an inn on the opposite side of the street. After looking at it, they found two figures who quietly walked out from the alley on the side of the inn.

Xue Bodhi squinted and looked around, and could confirm that the tall man wearing a bamboo hat was the target Ye Jingtang.

And the plump woman beside her was Pei Sanniang, the headmistress of the Pei family.

The two of them went out together without anyone with them, and the night was dark and windy and rainy. In the eyes of the killer, they were almost two dead people.

The three of them went downstairs quickly, and Lu Ruan pulled out an eyebrow gun from under the truck, and asked in a low voice:
"What are they doing out at night?"

It was night, and it was raining, and there were few people on the street. Yejingtang was also in an alleyway, so it could be said that it could be attacked at any time.

But Xue Bodhi did not act rashly, and followed him in the dark with an iron crutch:

"I don't know, this son is experienced in the world, be careful that it is a trick to lure the enemy out of the hole, first find out the intention before making a move."

Chen Ming and Lu Ruan also felt that this opportunity came too suddenly, so they really didn't dare to go directly, and followed Xue Bodhi silently, trying to figure out their intentions.

And the intention of this lonely man and widow seems to be obvious...

Ye Jingtang and the hostess walked side by side, holding an umbrella together. The shoulders of the hostess were attached to Ye Jingtang's body, like a charming and beautiful little wife. If they said that they were a couple who wandered around in the middle of the night, no one would believe it .

And the places where the two went were getting more and more remote, and finally they went straight out of the town, came to the small riverside street, and entered an inconspicuous old inn beside the street.

"..."

Xue Bodhi has been in the rivers and lakes all his life. For this kind of behavior, he thinks it is "fornication" no matter how you look at it. His old cheeks are a little weird.

The latter two obviously understood it too, but Chen Ming was more cautious and said doubtfully:
"If the two of you want to have sex, you can stay in the inn. Why bother to discredit and go to the river to find a small inn again?"

Xue Bodhi pondered for a while: "This son has an ambiguous relationship with Prince Jing, and he is having sex with women in private. I'm afraid he would not dare to let Prince Jing know about it."

Lu Ruan also interjected: "According to inquiries, the woman's name is Pei Sanniang, and Ye Jingtang is the adopted son of the Pei family, so she must be called 'aunt'. The aunt and nephew have an affair, so naturally they have to hide the family behind their backs."

"Pooh……"

Chen Ming pouted in disdain: "He looks talented, but he does such inhuman activities behind his back. Fortunately, I still treat him as a difficult person."

"It's not uncommon for rich families to steal aunts everywhere."

Xue Bodhi raised his hand and suppressed the two chatting. He watched in the dark for a long time, but didn't find anything unusual about the old inn, so he silently groped towards the back alley...
-
crackling...

The raindrops fell on the umbrella, and the ribs trembled, splashing a little water.

Ye Jingtang was afraid that Sanniang's shoulders would get wet, so he leaned the umbrella in his hand a little closer, almost embracing Pei Xiangjun with one hand, but his arm was not attached to his back.

Pei Xiangjun walked slowly along the river bank, with the demeanor of a wealthy lady: "This street is called 'Jinli Street', privately it is the property of the Zezhou Church, and there are many tourists during the day... Recently the owner of the hall met, in order to prevent the news from leaking, All the people on the street were replaced by their own family members, and no outsiders were accepted.”

If Sanniang hadn't spoken, Ye Jingtang really wouldn't be able to tell that the idlers, boatmen, and shop assistants on the street were all from his own family, so he took a little look:

"How many people are in the building?"

"There are more than 300 people, most of whom are from Zezhou Hall. The entrances of the Twelve Halls of Honghualou are located in the Twelve States of the Great Wei Dynasty. There are big and small people here. A dozen or so are waiting in the big round building in front... You should be more polite when you see Sectional Master Song and Sectional Chen later, both of them are genuine grand masters, much better than me, so don't say anything else. , people can really beat you..."

"Of course I know..."

During the chat, Pei Xiangjun led Ye Jingtang through the Linhe side street and arrived at the entrance of an inn.

The inn looks quite old, it must have been a hundred years old, the door has been blackened by the wind and rain, an oil lamp is lit in the lobby, the old shopkeeper is doing abacus behind the counter, and the waiter is lazily leaning on the door.

When the two of them came over, the waiter didn't show any strange expression, he just raised his hand:

"Please come to the two guest officers"

Then he took the two of them to the back of the inn...
