the knife of love

Chapter 46 Arrived in Yunnan, the inn closed

Before dawn, Guan Lue left Kunming Airport. Because it was a midnight flight, there were not many people at the gate of the terminal building, and a black Toyota overbearing was parked across the road.

Guan slightly looked at the photo and walked over.

Soon a man got out of the car, probably in his early 20s, wearing a black T-shirt, tall and thin, he immediately came to pick up a small bag of luggage in Guan Lue's hand, stood in front of him respectfully and shouted: "Brother Nine." Trembling.

Guan slightly let out a casual "hmm".

"Your name is Xiao Wu."

"Yes, brother nine."

"Raise your head and talk!" Guan Lue is usually not cruel to the people below, but he dare not look him straight in the face when he speaks, but how dare Xiao Wu, he has been in Jiurongtai for so many years, according to his The level has only seen the head of the Yunnan side, and has never even seen the tip of the hair on the top, let alone Guan Lue.

A few hours ago, Xiao Wu received a call from his superiors saying he was coming to pick up "Ninth Brother". He thought it was a dream that he misheard the name.

Is that Brother Jiu?But if it was really that Ninth Brother, he would not be able to pick him up after rounds, but later his superiors confirmed that it was that Ninth Brother, who said that it was arranged by Yunling Laomai.

Because Guan Lue came to Yunnan alone this time, he couldn't make any noise, so it would be more convenient to find Luo Luo to pick him up.

Guan Lue was very satisfied with Lao Mai's arrangement, but this little Wu was so nervous that his legs shook as long as he waited for Guan Lue at the gate of the terminal.

"Come on, where are you going?"

"Ah? That...Master Chi has arranged a room for you at the Longyu Hotel. I'll take you there now."

……

Xiao Wu's car arrived at Longyu Hotel in Kunming, and took him directly to the top floor.

As soon as the elevator opened, Chi Feng had brought several people to wait at the door of the elevator. Seeing Guan Lue coming out, all the people below nodded and bowed, and Chi Feng immediately stepped forward to meet him.

"Xiao Jiu, I'm sorry, it's rare for you to come to Kunming. Originally, Uncle Feng should pick you up at the airport in person, but Bo Ming said that you came this time for a private matter and told me to keep quiet, so I just asked Xiao Wu to go to the airport alone. " Chi Feng was in a hurry to explain, because he was afraid that Guan Lue would write down something unpleasant because of his poor hospitality.

Guan Lue is not a person who likes these vain rituals.

Five years ago, the old man asked him to take over the affairs of Jiurongtai. Four years ago, when the old man passed away due to illness, he officially took the position of the old man. This position has been secured, and he rarely shows a stern face, which is completely different from the old man's murderous and ruthless style of behavior.

This Chi Feng is the head of the Yunnan side. He is in his early fifties and has been in Jiurongtai for almost 30 years. According to his seniority, he should be regarded as Guan Lue's uncle. I still warmly call him Xiaojiu, which looks affectionate.

Guan Lue was worried, and laughed: "Uncle Feng, you are welcome."

"Don't dare to do it, I'm afraid of neglect." Chi Feng pointed to the corridor again, "It is reasonable for you to stay at Uncle Feng's house, but I think that once you go, people below will probably know that you are here, and it will cause inconvenience again. So I have reserved a room for you here. But don’t worry, the rooms on this entire floor are vacant tonight, so it’s considered clean.”

It seems that Chi Feng is well-arranged, Guan Lue was in a hurry when he came this time, so naturally he didn't care about so much.

"Actually, it's not necessary, I'll just stay for one night."

"You have to stay comfortably for one night." Chi Feng smiled innocently, "Besides, this Longyu Hotel is also owned by Jiurongtai, and they are all our own people, so you can rest assured."

After speaking, Chi Feng recruited a strong young man from behind: "Ya Lao, you and Xiao Wu will follow Brother Nine these days."

The young man named Yaba nodded immediately, and Chi Feng felt that it was all right, and said goodbye to Guan Lue politely: "Then Xiaojiu, you should go to bed earlier, and talk to Uncle Feng whenever you need to."

Guan slightly raised his thin lips, as if with a sneer: "Uncle Feng, you are welcome."

A group of people entered the elevator in a mighty manner.

Xiao Wu stood behind him carrying Guan Lue's luggage. Guan Lue turned his head and stared at the young and strong boy first.

"What did Chi Feng call you just now? Mute?"

"..." Yaba didn't dare to answer, her face flushed red.

It was Xiaowu who answered for him: "Ninth brother, Yala is from the Lisu tribe, elegant Ya, with a tail under the word 山, called Yala."

"..." Guan slightly glanced at his eyebrows, but didn't answer.

All I can say is, it's such an annoying name.

Guan Yue entered the room, Xiao Wu and Ya Lao stood guarding the door.

Guan Lue took a shower and made several calls to Tang Jingcheng's mobile phone, but the other party still showed that it was turned off. Guan Lue didn't sleep much that night, he only squinted for a while, and went to Tengchong after dawn.

On the road, Xiaowu and Yaba took turns driving, Guan Lue sat in the back seat and rarely spoke, his expression was always serious, which made the atmosphere very tense.

I arrived in Tengchong around eleven o'clock at night, and along the way Guan Lue also tried to contact the inn called "Hide Hongchen", but the other party's number was always busy.

In fact, Guan Lue knew that he was careless in rushing from Yunling overnight to Tengchong without any purpose, because Tang Jingcheng might not be in Tengchong, or even if she was in Tengchong, she might not go to Heshun Town?
Everything is just his own feeling, and he ran thousands of miles just based on his own feeling.

"Ninth Brother, why don't we stay in Tengchong Town tonight?" Xiao Wu asked cautiously.

Guan Lue was standing next to the car smoking a cigarette, thinking that he must be tired after driving for a whole day, and going from Tengchong to Tengchong is a long and smooth mountain road, and there is no way for those who are in the dark.

"Okay, find a better hotel in the town." Guan Lue threw the cigarette butt and got into the car.

Xiao Wu and Ya Lai glanced at each other.

In fact, the two of them were sent by Chi Feng to follow Guan Lue this time, but they didn't know Guan Lue's purpose in Tengchong.

Guan Lue finally chose a hotel with a star rating and opened three rooms.

Xiao Wu and Ya Lao repeatedly shied away: "Ninth brother, we don't sleep, we will watch you at the door."

Guan Lue gave him a cold look and killed him: "What do I need you to do? You won't do anything wrong!"

"..."

"Besides, I have to drive tomorrow, and the mountain road is dangerous, so go to sleep!" Xiao Wu and Ya Lao didn't dare to disobey their orders, and went back to their rooms.

After taking a shower, Guan Lue was exhausted, fell on the bed and turned over, and saw the recording pen on the bedside cabinet at a glance.

After the old microphone was given to him, he never opened it to listen to it.

It contained the things in Tang Jingcheng's heart. Guan Lue felt that the deepest relationship between himself and this woman could only stop at the body.

Guan Lue got up from the bed, put the recording pen into his trouser pocket, and pulled out his mobile phone to call Lou Qingxiao.

Depart for Heshun the next day.

The speed on the road was fast, and I arrived in the town at noon. Guan Lue went to the Nihongchen Inn first, but the door of the inn was closed. After asking the people around, I found out that the inn had closed a month ago. No wonder no one answered the phone.

"Ninth brother, are you here looking for someone?" Yala asked.

Guan Lue became irritable again, without answering, he took out a cigarette from his pocket, and Xiao Wu at the side immediately lit the fire for him.

He just sat on the steps at the door of the "Hidden Red Dust" Inn and smoked two cigarettes.

There were still crowds on the street, most of them were tourists from other places, Yala didn't dare to say more when he saw the situation.

"Let's go, find a place to eat first." Guan Lue finally stood up and spoke, Xiao Wu and Ya Lao followed with their heads down.

Guan Lue and Tang Jingcheng had also been to that restaurant before, and the local Yunnan dishes they ate were expensive, but Tang Jingcheng was not used to it at the time, so he drank several cups of tea here.

At that time, Guan Lue still disliked that she was hard to feed with her mouth.

"The Pu'er tea here is pretty good." Guan Lue directly ordered a whole pot and poured it for Xiao Wu and Ya Lai himself. The two stood up from their chairs in fright, shaking their heads and waving their hands: "Ninth Brother Ninth Brother , you sit down, we will come by ourselves."

"..." Guan glanced at them briefly, and threw down the teapot to eat.

After eating, he didn't know where to go, and it was the first time for Guan Lue to act without a sense of direction.

The three stood at the door of the restaurant, Xiao Wu and Ya Lai followed Guan Lue and did not dare to ask more questions.

"Just take a stroll." Guan Lue walked in front, and the two behind quickly followed.

Xiaowu didn't have much affection for this town, but Yala gradually became active, because there are many Lisu people in Heshun Town, and Yala lived in Kunming all the year round, and he didn't go back many times. When he saw Lisu people, he felt very friendly.

The three of them passed by a handicraft shop while strolling, which was full of tourists.

"Xiao Wu, did you see the dress hanging at the door? It's the dress of our Lisu people. We Lisu people all wear linen clothes..."

Xiao Wu looked over, and sure enough, he saw several sets of linen skirts hanging in front of the store.

"Pretty?"

"Where is it beautiful? Such a rough cloth will not be comfortable to wear."

"Fuck you, the linen cloth worn by the girls in our clan is grown and woven by themselves, which is much more comfortable than the ones you wear."

The two quarreled over a linen skirt, Guan smiled slightly: "Let's go in and have a look."

Xiao Wu and Ya Lao quickly shut up and followed.

There were a lot of people in the store, and they were all tourists who came to pick up souvenirs to take back. Guan Lue walked around in it, but was attracted by a small thing.

It is a small folding dagger with a sharp edge and two pieces of broken jade inlaid on the handle.

"Boss, this dagger..." Guan Lue was about to inquire about the price, but Yala grabbed Xiao Wu and said, "Did you see the girl at the gate? She's wearing our Lisu clothes, so pretty."

"Where is it?" Xiao Wu didn't see him.

Yaba pulled him towards the door of the store again: "That's the one, did you see it? The one in the red top and white skirt, with a lot of braids on his head..."

Guan Lue shrank his heart, turned his head, and just passed a silhouette in the crowd, in red and white skirt, with fair complexion, he put the dagger on the case and ran out.

The shop owner chased after him: "Hey, money, the money hasn't been paid yet!"

Xiao Wu and Yala came back to their senses when they heard the noise. At that time, Guan Lue had already rushed out of the store, and the boss wanted to chase after him, but Yala grabbed him back: "Why are you yelling? You still have less money?"

Next to Xiao Wu, he patted two banknotes and said, "Is it enough? That's enough." Then he threw down the terrified shop owner, and chased out of the shop with Ya Lao.
