Wanqingsi

Chapter 44 Night Detective
Sending away Ping An, I finished washing under the maid's service, and it was already dark, so I sent the maid back to rest.After sleeping all afternoon, I didn't feel any sleepiness at this time. I sat in a daze at the round table.The speculation just now made me a little breathless. I stood up, walked to the window, pushed the window open, and a little cool breeze came in through the window, and I felt that my chest was not so tight.I turned around and sat back at the table. Just as I sat down, a person came in through the window. As soon as I entered the room, I closed the window immediately. I stood up in shock, took two steps back, and took a closer look. I was even more shocked.I saw that man tied with white jade hairpins, dressed in a brocade robe, blinked his long and narrow phoenix eyes slightly, and gave me a charming wink, I immediately got goosebumps all over my body, he smiled wickedly, and said: "Miss Carmen ,haven't seen you for a long time."

"Young Master Yu is also very skilled and daring, even dare to break into the general's mansion." I smiled calmly and mocked, "I really can't figure it out, Young Master Yu has read all the flowers, what kind of beauty I haven't seen it before, why are you so obsessed with such an ordinary beauty like me?"

"Miss, what you said is wrong." He sat down at the table generously, squinted his eyes at me, and said with a smile, "Peonies and peonies are indeed beautiful, but daisies also have the charm of daisies. My admiration for the girl, Never stopped."

"Admiration? Do you use medicine? This is not Yihonglou." I said calmly, "Young Master Yu wants to commit crimes in the General's Mansion, but I'm afraid it's not so easy to get out."

"I heard that the girl was ill for more than ten days in order to understand the poison of Mixiang." He raised his face, looked at me and said with a light smile, "I, Yu Dieer, is a person who loves the fragrance and cherishes the jade, and it hurts the girl to suffer. .”

"Since the young master is compassionate and cherishing jade, I think this time I will not let the little girl suffer again." I took a deep breath calmly, as if I didn't smell the fragrance that I smelled last time, I breathed a sigh of relief, If I call for help...

Yu Die'er seemed to see what I was thinking, and said with a smile: "Girl, if you want to call for help, why don't you give it a try. Is it quicker for me to hit your dumb acupoint, or is it quicker for you to call someone?"

I was immediately discouraged, thinking of his ghostly lightness kungfu, I should not do those thankless things.I said coldly: "It seems that Mr. Yu is not going to let me go today?"

A smile of unknown meaning floated on his lips, and he sighed: "Young lady has said the wrong thing, and the one who refuses to let others go is the young lady, not my subordinate."

"A joke." I snorted coldly and laughed, "How dare you say that I want to pick your promiscuous weed?"

He laughed, stood up and walked to my side, I couldn't help but take two steps back, he leaned forward, leaned close to my face, and said with a light smile: "If the girl really wants to pick me, I can't ask for it, but if the girl wants it, It's my life, I can't afford it."

I frowned and looked at him puzzled: "Where did you say that?"

Yu Die'er blinked her long and narrow phoenix eyes, looked into my eyes, and sighed softly: "Girl, why play dumb, 'The Promise Gate' ordered me to hunt down and kill me because I got close to the girl last time, isn't it the girl? Why?"

"The Promise Gate?" I'm still at the Mantou Gate!I curled my lips disapprovingly, and sneered, "If someone wants to kill you, he will also blame me. Mr. Yu is really a troublemaker, and I don't think about how many wicked things I have done on weekdays. How many enemies have you killed, so recklessly looking for a scapegoat, maybe you will be killed by the master as soon as you go out."

Yu Die'er observed my mocking expression, and gradually frowned: "It's really not the girl's fault?"

"Do I need to lie to you?" I sneered, "I'm a brothel girl, not a chaste woman, don't say that you didn't get it that day, even if you got it, it's just a free guest , I have to spend so much time and effort to make things difficult for you with vain money? What a joke!"

I don't know if he really believed what I said, he stood up straight, held his chin and said: "Young lady is right, but ever since I turned back from her that day, the next day there was a killer from Wujimen chasing me all the time. Let it go, if it wasn’t for the lightness kung fu, I’m afraid I’d be killed a few times.”

"What do you think the Promise Gate is for?" I became a little interested, after all, I have to understand the situation to attract Yu Die'er to trouble me.

"The Promise Gate is a relatively mysterious killer organization that has appeared in the Jianghu in recent years." Yu Die'er observed my reaction, "It is said to be mysterious because no one has ever known its details. The intelligence agency 'Xiaoqinglou' is said to have no semi-literature information on it. No one has seen the killers of Wujimen, because everyone who has seen them has died. As long as the business they take over, no matter whether it is the other court High-ranking officials, or masters of the rivers and lakes, no matter what method they use, even if they chase them to the ends of the earth, even if their employer is dead, as long as they don't withdraw their contract, they will still complete the task."

"According to what you said, have you seen the killer of Wujimen?" I looked at him and questioned, "Then why are you still alive? It's just that you are good at lightness skills. I'm afraid it won't be so easy to escape the pursuit?"

Yu Die'er blinked her phoenix eyes, and sighed: "Young lady is very smart. It's not enough to rely on lightness kung fu alone, but Yu has a unique skill to save her life, and friends in the world know very little about it."

I turned my head and said with a smile, "Disguise?"

There was a flash of surprise in his eyes: "How did the girl know?"

How do you know?From martial arts novels and TV shows!Those who escaped from hunting or other incidents always had to disguise themselves.I smiled and pointed to my brain: "Guess."

Yu Die'er narrowed her phoenix eyes and said with a smile: "Young lady is really smart."

"Young Master Yu, you are being polite." I muttered, "Since the Wuji Gate is so bloody and cruel, why do the court and people in the world still tolerate its existence?"

Usually there is a subtle distinction between the rivers and lakes and the imperial court. The imperial court does not care about the fighting and killing of the people in the rivers and lakes, and the people in the rivers and lakes are unwilling to have anything to do with the court. I remember watching TV in the past, and there were often disciples of the Jianghu sect who joined the court as a police officer or a military officer. , the plot of being expelled from the division.This Promise Sect even dared to kill high-ranking officials of the imperial court. Obviously, they did not take the imperial court seriously. Can the imperial court tolerate such an arrogant folk force?I don't know why, but I vaguely feel that this Wuji Gate has something to do with Chu Shang. I heard Yueniang call him the sect master once, maybe...he is the master of this Wuji gate?Otherwise, could Prime Minister Wei's family be easily wiped out?

"Didn't you say it's mysterious?" He smiled helplessly, and said, "Even those employers who pay Wujimen to kill people have never seen people from Wujimen. They have a special set of contact methods to communicate with their employers." There is no need to show up to make contact. Although the imperial court has ordered the strict crackdown on the Wuji Gate, but you can't even touch the door, what else can you do?"

"Young Master Yu came to me this time because he thought I paid people from the Wuji Sect to kill you? You want me to withdraw the contract?" I smiled, and an idea came to my mind.

"Yu Mou really thought so before, but after talking with the girl, I also feel that this matter seems to have nothing to do with the girl." Yu Die'er looked at me and smiled. Although this person was hunted down, he had to hide in Yi Rongdong In Tibet, the mentality is quite calm, unlike those who have poor psychological endurance, who have long been frightened and trembling. How can they analyze the reason, visit the employer unannounced, and go to great lengths to wait until I place an order before coming to me? Not a mindless brat.

I thought about it secretly in my heart, and only heard him continue: "Since it has nothing to do with the girl, then Yumou will leave. After the matter is resolved, Yumou will come to meet the girl next month."

I glared at him, thinking of harming others at the end of my life, this man is really not a good bird!Then my thoughts just now, even if I turn the wrong way, this person deserves it. Based on the evil deeds he committed, a thousand deaths are not enough to clear the innocence of those victimized girls.Having made up my mind, I looked at him with a smile, lowered my voice and said, "Young Master Yu, don't you want to get rid of Wujimen's pursuit?"

He originally turned around and wanted to leave, but upon hearing what I said, he stopped and looked back at me with a gleam in his eyes: "Could it be that the girl has a clever plan to help me escape this disaster?"

I smiled faintly, walked to the round table and sat down: "Master Yu, why don't you sit down and listen?"

He sat down as promised, glanced at me, rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "Young lady doesn't seem like someone who will do business at a loss. Tell me, what do you want?"

Hehe, those who roll around in the rivers and lakes are indeed not vegetarians, and I don't speak ill, and said with a smile: "Since Mr. Yu is so forthright, and the little girl is also straightforward, I want you to pass on the disguise technique to me, so I'll give you a chance." Teach you how to escape the pursuit."

"Girls are really good at bargaining." Yu Die'er said with a chuckle, "This method of disguise is ever-changing, and it can't be learned in a short time."

"Then choose the easiest one to learn and let me learn it." I smiled, "I don't want many changes, just two or three changes."

He bowed his head and pondered for a while, then took out a kit from his pocket, put it on the table, and said with a smile: "Since the girl said so, then I will give this little gadget to the girl."

"What is it?" I opened it curiously, took out a few thin skins, and was overjoyed: "Human skin mask?"

"Miss has a good eye." Yu Die'er smiled triumphantly, and said, "Miss, don't underestimate these human skin masks, each one is not easy to get. The method of this human skin mask is extremely cruel. The ones who came down, have traveled the rivers and lakes for many years, and only found these few photos."

I shivered, and the thought of putting this thing on my face made my hairs stand on end.I always thought that the human skin mask was just a name, but I didn't expect it to be made of skin peeled from a real person's face.But when I thought about my plan, no matter how cold I was, I picked up one and asked him, "How do you use this thing?"

He told me how to use it. I went to the dressing table and carefully put it on my face in front of the mirror. I saw a village woman in her 40s and [-]s reflected in the mirror. There is half of my shadow, and I can't help but feel happy, it really is a good thing.Playful for a while, I tried to put those masks on my face one by one, and saw that I turned into a young man with red lips and white teeth, and an old woman in a while, I found it very interesting, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

Yu Die'er didn't rush me, probably I was an interesting person in his eyes, he just smiled and watched me play around.After trying on those masks one by one, I turned around and saw his expression full of interest, so I put away my happy attitude a little bit, carefully put those masks back into my bag, put them in my arms, walked to him and said: "Little girl thank you Mr. Yu for this gift, so I will tell you the method." As he said, he lowered his head to his ear and told him all the methods in his mind.

After hearing what I said, he looked up at me, with a hint of surprise in his eyes: "You mean..."

"Hush—" I raised my index finger to my lips, and said softly, "Be careful that the walls have ears, Mr. Yu understands it, just keep it in your heart."

He pondered for a while, then looked up at me and said, "Girl, this way is very risky, and it's hard to tell whether it's true or not..."

"Young Master Yu has no choice, right? And this matter, only you, Young Master Yu, can do it." I smiled, sat down, and said, "Is it true or not? You'll know if you try it. Is it risky? Don't worry about it." Dangerous, is it more dangerous than the current situation of the young master?"

He looked at me without blinking, and a smile slowly appeared on his lips: "What the girl said is true. Although this method is risky, it is once and for all."

I smiled, took out two teacups from the table, filled them with tea, raised a cup, and said with a smile, "With this cup of tea, Carmen wishes Young Master Yu a smooth escape."

He smiled "haha", picked up the teacup, touched the cup in my hand lightly, and said with a smile: "The girl is really the smartest woman Yumou has ever seen in this life." He raised his head and drank the tea, and said with a smile: "A girl like a girl, Yumou is getting more and more reluctant to let go..."

"It's not a good thing to provoke a woman like me. Mr. Yu is a smart person and won't do stupid things." I smiled faintly, drank the tea in the cup, and put down the teacup.

A strange light flashed in Yu Die'er's eyes, and she said with a smile: "Miss Yu, I will remember what you said, and I will leave." After speaking, he pushed open the window and jumped out, his ghostly figure disappeared in a flash.Looking at the hazy tree shadows outside the window, I laughed softly.
