disciple

"Fifth Lord, be careful." Ye Lang led Zuo Xuange to walk on a piece of wasteland for more than half an hour, before finally seeing the cemetery with graves standing on small hills.

Before stepping into the cemetery, Zuo Xuange suddenly reached out to stop him: "Which one can you show me?"

"That's the one." The wolf pointed to a small grave with loose soil.

The light moonlight shines on this area, and the tomb pointed out by the wild wolf is very eye-catching. It is clear and there are no weeds growing on it, and it is obviously a new tomb.

"Can you spot the footprints on the ground?"

"This..." The wild wolf showed embarrassment. He knew a little bit of tracking, and he thought his tracking skills were not bad, but it was a little bit reluctant for him to distinguish the footprints from half a month ago.

Zuo Xuange smiled: "Of course I know that the footprints from half a month ago are really hard to identify, but fortunately, it hasn't rained in Jingfeng City in the past ten days. There are few people here, and there shouldn't be too many people here. You don't need to distinguish To be specific about who has been here, I just want you to find out if there is a series of one-way footprints."

"One-way footprints?" The wild wolf still didn't understand.

"I want to know whether the person in the coffin walked away by himself or was carried away by someone."

"Oh!" The wild wolf suddenly realized, and immediately flew to the top of the grave with lightness kung fu, lying there and began to carefully identify every footprint on the ground.

After half a cup of tea, the wild wolf ran back excitedly: "Fifth Lord, Fifth Lord... there is indeed a string of one-way footprints!"

Zuo Xuange looked at his excited appearance and smiled, "It seems that I underestimated you, the tracking skills of wild wolves are indeed well-deserved."

The wild wolf was a little embarrassed by his praise, and his face was slightly red again. It was the first time Zuo Xuange saw a big man blushing so easily...

"Actually, it's not that the wild wolf has good eyesight. The main reason is that there are only one woman's shoe print among so many footprints. The people who carried the coffin that day were all men. It is said that this woman was born out of a concubine. There must be very few people who came to help the coffin, which also provided great convenience for me to identify my footprints."

"Where did her tracks go?"

"northwest."

The two of them looked towards the small forest in the northwest at the same time. This forest was next to the official road. There was a thick layer of fallen leaves in the forest, and all the traces on the ground were already mottled.

The wild wolf crawled on the ground for a long time and stood up with a dejected look on his face: "There are so many people coming and going here, I really can't recognize them."

Zuo Xuange glanced from the jungle to the wide official road beside him: "Besides, I don't know if she really entered this forest."

There are even more pedestrians and carriages coming and going on the official road every day, and there are no human footprints on the road paved with bluestone slabs.

The wild wolf also looked over with his eyes, and there was still a little unwillingness in his eyes: "The wild wolf is incompetent..."

"You've done a good job." Zuo Xuange interrupted him with a smile. When he didn't deliberately show a frivolous expression, his smile was very clear and warm.

Looking at his smile, the wild wolf seemed a little dumbfounded.

Zuo Xuange turned around and walked in the same direction as when he started going back and forth: "I may be useful for the secret passage of your gambling house, and then give me the addresses of some people you trust, and tell me how to gain their trust."

The wild wolf was stunned before following him, his voice stuttering a bit: "Fifth... Fifth Master, how did you find out that there is a secret passage in my gambling hall?"

He thought that the secret passage was set up extremely ingeniously, but Zuo Xuange only found out after staying in that room for such a short time, which really made him feel embarrassed.

"Guess."

"Guess what?"

"I just think that a person who has escaped with his life must be cautious in every way, so it is only natural to open a secret road on his own site."

Ye Lang patted himself on the head, smiling a little shyly: "I didn't expect Fifth Master Zuo to have guessed the little one's mind so thoroughly."

He took out a yellowed page from his pocket: "The people written on it are trustworthy."

Zuo Xuange took it and glanced at him: "You knew I would ask you for this?"

"Fifth Master, don't get me wrong." Wild Wolf explained nervously, "I just thought that you might need it now when you were not in the capital, so just mention my name to them."

"Okay." Zuo Xuange looked down at the things in his hands, and the waves in his eyes could not be seen with the drooping eyelids. He was a little moved by the loyalty and honesty of the wild wolf, maybe he was indeed too suspicious.

There was also that person, the white dress seemed to appear in front of his eyes again, his fingers couldn't help tightening, and he pinched the paper in his hand into vertical and horizontal folds.

-------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------

It was almost dawn when Zuo Xuange returned to Yinjiu Inn. When he passed Situ Linyue's room, a strange tranquility made him slow down. The door opened a crack, and Zuo Xuange frowned. Careful and careful, such mistakes should not be made.

He pushed the door lightly and went in. There was no one in the room, and Situ Linyue was not in his room.

Where has he gone?

The room was filled with a faint smell of wine, and under the silvery moonlight, one could see wine jugs and cups scattered all over the room. When Zuo Xuange stepped into the room, the warm smell of wine rushed over his face, indicating that the owner of the room had not left soon.

Zuo Xuange closed the door and continued walking towards his room, but his heart was filled with uneasy thoughts.A person who has had a good drink suddenly walks away, there is only one possibility, the wine is gone.

He sighed, and suddenly turned around and walked back. He was so drunk by himself, and he probably wouldn't look very good when he came back. As an apprentice, he should maintain the dignity of the master.

Zuo Xuange decided to wait for him to come back in Situ Linyue's room, and fell asleep on Situ Linyue's bed after waiting for some reason.

He slept until he was exposed to the sun, and it was not until there was a violent shouting from the inn that he was awakened suddenly, his head was as heavy as lead, and his whole body was exhausted.

"...Where is Zuo Xuange! Which room is he in!..." Accompanied by the harsh words, there was the sound of kicking the door through the air.

Zuo Xuange sat up startled, listening carefully to the sounds from the next room.

The waiter was obedient: "He will sleep in this room."

"What about others!"

It was Wang Tuzi's voice, Zuo Xuange smiled wryly, there are quite a few people who want to trouble him.

Just as he put his feet on the ground, he heard footsteps moving towards this side: "Is this his master's room?"

Before Zuo Xuange had time to think of a countermeasure to this sentence, he heard a "click" and the door had been kicked in half by Wang Tuzi.

"You are indeed here!" Wang Tuzi raised his fist and swung towards him.

Zuo Xuange dodged and greeted him with a smile: "Brother Tu, it's not good, it's not good to fight and kill as soon as we meet."

"Stop talking nonsense to me. Didn't you worship Mr. Situ? Why don't you hurry up and show me your kung fu." While speaking, Wang Tuzi moved faster, his fists whistling, left and right Xuan Ge only felt dazzled, and was hiding completely by his own intuition.

He suddenly realized that he was so stupid that he wanted to find the secret of the true energy in his body with his self-righteous intelligence, but he didn't know that if he made a slight mistake in martial arts, he would die in the rivers and lakes.

It was as if at this moment, facing a Wang Tuzi whose martial arts were not even considered third-rate, he was so embarrassed that he could only reluctantly parry. If he died under his hands, he only hoped that his family would never know what happened to him. Good to die.

Just when he was completely disheartened and felt that his life was going to end in such a useless way, it was really not reconciled, a white dress suddenly appeared at the door, accompanied by a faint smell of wine, but his eyes were still clear and restrained as usual.

Zuo Xuange's eyes moved, and he slid towards Situ Linyue like a loach, and hid behind him: "Master, save me!"

Wang Tuzi followed him to the corridor. Zuo Xuange, who was hiding behind Situ Linyue, could see clearly that Wang Tuzi's movement was indeed faster than when he first saw him. It was he who was here. In a few days, martial arts have improved by leaps and bounds?Or was he deliberately hiding his kung fu last time?

In front of Situ Linyue, Wang Tuzi didn't dare to do anything wrong, so he had to chase Zuo Xuange around the periphery, and Situ Linyue was fixed in place like a stake, neither helping Zuo Xuange nor backing away to let Wang The butcher meant to hit him.

Zuo Xuange dodged around Situ Linyue, his clothes kept brushing against Situ Linyue, and he kept uttering words to disturb Wang Tuzi: "Brother Tu, take it easy, if you hit him It doesn't matter to me, but if you hurt my master, the entire Hengyu Sect will never let you go."

"Who is your brother Tu, my surname is Wang!" Wang Tuzi suddenly pulled out a punch from the side, the punch missed and he even staggered a few steps, his round and wide body was extremely impressive in the narrow corridor Embarrassed, and because Zuo Xuange kept walking around Situ Linyue, he forced him to withdraw his punches several times, almost hurting himself.

"Zuo Xuange, if you are still a masculine man, don't hide behind me." Situ Linyue said awe-inspiringly, his voice was so calm that he didn't look like a person who was drinking under the moon last night.

"Master, I'm not only a man, I'm also a man who knows how to advance and retreat and current affairs." Zuo Xuange smiled shamelessly, "And I also know that I am the only successor of Master's disciple, Heng Yu, so don't take it lightly." Good to die."

"You still admit that you are my disciple?" Situ Linyue suddenly grabbed his sleeve, Zuo Xuange stopped, but at the same time, Wang Tuzi also seemed to be given some kind of special force. Dwell also stopped in place.

Situ Linyue's cold eyes were staring at Zuo Xuange, Zuo Xuange brushed his hand away without a trace: "Master was joking, since I have done the apprentice ceremony, Xuange is naturally your apprentice."

"Then you follow me back to Hengyu Mountain." Situ Linyue didn't seem to notice his intentional flickering words.

Zuo Xuange lowered his head and did not answer.

"You don't want to?" Situ Linyue gradually let go of her frozen hand in mid-air, her expression gradually dimmed.

The author has something to say: The last insistence of the stupid author is to be slept in by another man, and never to sleep with the protagonist... Ah, it's so strange to insist...o(╯□╰)o
