Strange Events of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 27 Attacked
Ye Laogui turned around and closed the wooden door of the cave, and signaled the people behind him to come to Ling Changfeng.The originally narrow cave dwelling became even more crowded at this moment.

The visitor was wearing a mask, so Ling Changfeng couldn't see his face and expression.I saw that this person was thin, his palms were covered with wrinkles, his knuckles were thick, and his coiled hair was slightly yellow. Standing in front of Ling Changfeng at this moment, he seemed a little cramped.

The corners of Ling Changfeng's mouth behind the mask were slightly raised, and he confirmed softly: "Have you ever sold rosin in this ghost market? When did you sell it?"

The man nodded, and replied in a rough voice: "The little one did sell a batch of rosin here five days ago. Originally, this rosin had been sold here several times, but no one came to inquire about it for half a month. Until two days ago, three people came to buy all my rosin. At that time, the younger one wondered why these people wanted so much rosin, but due to the rules, the younger one didn’t talk too much.”

Ling Changfeng nodded and asked, "What are the characteristics of those three people? Do you remember?"

"This..." The man was speechless for a while, and did not reply directly, but turned his head to look at Old Ghost Ye, as if asking for his approval.

Ye Laogui was straightforward, and said: "Don't worry, this person is trustworthy. I, Ye Laogui, will give you a guarantee, and he is generous. As long as you are satisfied with what you say, you will benefit from it later."

Hearing this, the man immediately cupped his hands and confessed, and said quickly: "My lord, although the light in this ghost city is dim, and everyone is wearing masks, but I did find something abnormal in those three people." After finishing speaking, he paused. He stopped, as if waiting for Ling Changfeng's response.

Ling Changfeng naturally knew the cunning of the people in this ghost market.He reached out his hand to take out a piece of silver from his waist, and threw it casually. The man hurriedly continued, thanking him repeatedly.

After Ling Changfeng waved his hand to express his impatience, the man went on to say: "My lord, although the three of them came together, they were obviously headed by a thin middle-aged man. Originally, they came to buy from me." A small amount of rosin is enough, but the three of them said that they wanted a large amount of rosin that day, and asked me to send the rosin to the dense forest in the southwest of Luoyang City."

"Besides, the leader just asked about the price of the rosin, and he was extremely generous. He didn't bargain with the little one, and just threw me a silver ingot as a deposit, and said that after the matter is completed, the silver will not be less. Obviously He is a rich man." The man whispered his memories at that time.

Ling Changfeng frowned, and asked, "Where did they send you to the jungle west of the city?"

"They asked me to put the rosin under a big locust tree in the dense forest in the west of the city. When I passed by, I didn't find anyone. I just put some silver under the tree." The man said cautiously.

Seeing that he had finished speaking, Ling Changfeng waved his hand and asked him to wait at the door for the time being.After pondering for a while, he said to Old Ghost Ye: "Old Ghost, when this man came in, did anyone notice?"

Ye Laogui smiled "hehe" and said, "There are so many people in this ghost city, it's really hard to say. But today's matter, I promise not to let him leak it."

Ling Changfeng nodded, but did not answer.He just asked slowly: "Old ghost Ye, have you ever heard of a woman named Aunt Gongsun?" Behind the mask, Xiaolan waited expectantly for the old ghost's answer.

After thinking for a while, Old Ghost Ye said, "I've never heard of this name. I don't know if you have the specific appearance of the character. I guess this person is likely to hide his name."

So Xiaolan described some of her master's figure and appearance in detail with a little nervousness.

Ye Laogui thought for a while after listening, shook his head and said: "I have never heard of this person, but since this person has a very close relationship with Mr. Ling, I will definitely go all out to find out. As soon as I have news, I will immediately Informing you."

Ling Changfeng nodded, and casually tossed him some silver coins, asking him to use more snacks.Then he turned around and pulled the slightly disappointed Xiaolan out of the cave, heading straight for the ghost market exit.

Ye Laogui saw the two left, his eyes were full, he called the person who came just now, and said to him: "You can stay with me for a few days, don't go out. I have to do something."

After the two came out, Ling Changfeng hugged Xiaoyu, and Xiaolan walked beside him. At this moment, the two had taken off their masks and walked slowly on the street.Only the footsteps of the two echoed in the air, making the originally empty street seem even more silent.

Suddenly, there was a light sound, which broke the silent street, and I saw a little cold light flying towards Ling Changfeng's head.

Ling Changfeng only felt a strong wind galloping towards his face, but he couldn't make any reaction.Suddenly, I felt that my neck was pinched by a soft force, and my body bent down involuntarily.

Apparently, Xiaolan had expected it long ago, not only allowed her young master to avoid such an ultimate move, but she was also a fairy arch bridge, avoiding the cold light flying towards her.

With a sound of "ding dong", the cold light fell to the ground, Xiao Lan took a closer look, but saw that it was a tiny silver needle.I thought to myself: Sure enough!Immediately, he drew out the cold and glaring clear light sword from his waist.

As soon as the clear light sword came out, it exuded a cold air like frost and moon, and the soft and windy sword had the word "clear light" in ancient seal characters.It is no more than two fingers wide and no more than three feet long, and it is being held in Xiaolan's hands with a calm expression at the moment, making her delicate face look like an ice beauty.

Three men in black came out from the shadows. Seeing Xiaolan's extraordinary skills this time, he knew that the information he had received was wrong. Come on, I will use the magic needle to catch him off guard!"

The two people on the left and right immediately took out their daggers and rushed towards Xiaolan.The two are masters at first sight.

A person from the left came forward and attacked Xiaolan's chest.The two-foot-long short sword was erratic in his hand, if Xiaolan blocked it with the sword, he would feint and attack his lower abdomen instead.If you are going to let go of the lower abdomen, you can turn the imaginary into reality and stab Xiaolan's chest across.

The person on the right did not attack Xiaolan with his sword, but stretched out his sword and stabbed at Ling Changfeng who was bowing his head at the moment.Wanting to make Xiaolan difficult to care about, she was defeated.

The leader who stood still at the same spot picked up a delicate bamboo tube in his left hand, and was aiming with half-closed eyes, waiting for Xiaolan to be inattentive, and he was about to shoot the silver needle hidden in the bamboo tube. go.

The three of them cooperated seamlessly. If it was an ordinary expert who came here, they would have been captured at this moment, and they had to protect Ling Changfeng, who was helpless at the side.

The situation is extremely dangerous!
