A Clash of Gods - Chapter 790

[Chapter 781 Temple Lane]

Qi Ning’s face sank, and he said, “I was picked up last night?”

Seeing Qi Ning’s stern expression, Wang Xiang knew he had made a slip of the tongue, and said with a dry smile, “Master Hou, little…!” Before he could finish speaking, Qi Ning asked in a cold voice, “You didn’t say your family just now. The girl didn’t see any guests, why was she picked up again and sent back at midnight?”

Wang Xiang sighed and said with a wry smile: “Master Hou, in fact… in fact, the villain doesn’t know the specific situation, small…!” He lowered his head, but did not dare to say more.

Fast update without ads.

“What do you know, just say it.” Qi Ning said lightly: “In front of me, you must not hide it.”

Wang Xiang hesitated for a while, and finally said: “Master Hou, the little one really doesn’t know who picked up the girl. Master Hou came here for a while before he left for Qi, and after a few days, one person boarded the boat. When I came to see the girl, what the hell did I say to the girl, we, the servants, didn’t hear. I only knew that the girl immediately cleaned up, and the man went ashore. There was a carriage waiting on the shore, and the girl didn’t tell us where to go. , only said to be back later, and then got into the carriage.”

“What does the carriage look like?” Qi Ning asked, “Is there no sign?”

The dignitaries in the capital naturally have carriages in their houses. Most of the houses will make some marks on their carriages, even the Jinyi Qi family has a mark.

Wang Xiang shook his head and said, “The little one took a special look at it, the carriage looked very ordinary, not like the carriage of a big family, and the driver of the carriage was also dressed in coarse clothes, not like the servants of the noble mansion, who came and took the girl away. After the Qinhuai River was quiet at the third watch, the carriage took the girl to the shore again.”

“So, you really don’t know who picked up Miss Zhuo?”

Wang Xiang said: “I really don’t know, and the next day I dared to ask the girl, girl… The girl reprimanded the little one for being nosy, and she said that you shouldn’t ask more questions, so… ..so the little one shouldn’t ask any more questions after that.”

Qi Ning came to Qinhuai River today, and was really ready to discuss with Zhuo Xian’er, to redeem her before he and Ximen Zhanying got married, and give her a free body. It is always not good to redeem a singer on the Qinhuai River and spread it out, and it will even be blamed by Ximen Zhanying at that time.

At this time, knowing that Zhuo Xian’er was picked up at night, she felt unhappy.

Although Zhuo Xian’er has a lot of affection for herself, but in the environment, Qi Ning sometimes really can’t judge whether Zhuo Xian’er really has feelings for herself, or it’s just because of her identity, and it will also be the same for others, I just heard that Zhuo Xian’er has feelings for herself. Xian’er didn’t see other guests, she just performed performances in the cabin, Qi Ning was still a little happy, knowing that there was someone else outside Zhuo Xian’er, she was a little unhappy.

Seeing Qi Ning’s brows furrowed, Wang Xiang knew that the little Marquis was unhappy, and asked cautiously, “Marquis, if you want to wake up the girl, just say… just say Marquis. coming…..?”

Qi Ning shook his head and said, “Since she rested for a while, let her rest for a while.” After hesitating, she asked, “Does the carriage often come to pick her up?”

Wang Xiang lowered his head and said, “It’s not very often, it’s just…just send people every now and then, the little…the little one doesn’t know when to come back, so far, he’s also…. has also gone out. Four or five times.”

“It’s quite frequent.” Qi Ning’s voice was calm, but his mood was obviously not very good. He sneered in his heart, wondering if Zhuo Xian’er had climbed the high branch again. If this is the case, there is no need for him to entangle here and shake the reins of the horse. , turned around and was about to leave, Wang Xiang hurriedly said: “Master Hou, then… how did the little one tell the girl?”

“There’s not much to say.” Qi Ning smiled and said, “You just said that I happened to be passing by here and asked casually.” With a shake of the horse’s reins, he said no more, and urged the horse to leave.

It’s strange to say that although Qi Ning doesn’t get along with Zhuo Xian’er very much and has not met many times, but today I heard that Zhuo Xian’er met someone else at night,

In addition to being unhappy, there was a hint of anger in my heart, but I wanted to find out who picked up Zhuo Xian’er in the middle of the night.

He knew that this was a man’s jealousy, and he was jealous, but that showed that he really cared about Zhuo Xian’er.

Back in front of Jinyi Hou’s mansion, the guard in front of the gate had already stepped forward to hold the reins of the horse. Qi Ning was about to dismount, but saw a shadow from the wall quickly approaching, throwing something towards Qi Ning, Qi Ning was about to dismount. Ning Tan grabbed it, and the guard of the Hou residence immediately drew his sword, but the man had already left in a hurry.

The guard was about to chase after him, but Qi Ning raised his hand to stop it. At this time, he could see clearly that what he was holding was a small bamboo tube. He didn’t say much. When I went to my room, I took a closer look, pierced the cover at the bottom of the bamboo tube, and dropped a small note from the inside.

Qi Ning opened the rolled up note, but there was a line of small characters on it: “Xicheng Temple Lane Changqing Inn”.

This is of course an address. Apart from this line of small characters, there is not even a single payment left. Qi Ning frowned slightly and turned to the other side of the note, only to see a rat scribbled.

Seeing this, Qi Ning immediately understood, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

When night fell, the Qinhuai River began to sing and dance, but the Temple Lane in Xicheng, Jianyejing, was very quiet.

Jianyejing is the imperial capital of Chu State. People leave and come in every day. Most of the streets in the capital are crowded with people, but there are few places more complicated than Temple Lane.

There are everything here, such as tents, restaurants, tailor shops, carrying houses, and secret doors. This is the place where the three religions and nine streams converge. If you walk around the Zhuque Street in the capital and wear fancy clothes, you will definitely attract a lot of attention, but in this temple alley , even if you walk by naked, no one may take a look.

The rancid smell emanating from the butcher’s body is mixed with the cheap gouache fragrance wafting from the secret door, and then mixed with the stench that pervades the gutter. Many people who come here for the first time will even vomit if they can’t hold on to it. People often see Someone was lying on the side of the road, and the vomited intestines seemed to be squirting out. They knew that it was a newcomer who had just arrived, and they immediately ushered in a burst of laughter from all around.

If you only see the majestic imperial city and those wide long streets, it is hard to imagine that there is such a disgusting place in this capital.

Although the name of Temple Alley is just an alley, this alley is actually very long, and there are two or three miles across the entire alley. The shop is dimly lit, and walking in the alley not only has to endure the stench, but also the gaze projected from both sides.

Many shops have been closed, but there are still some shops that do business at night with half-open doors, and from behind the doors, venomous eyes will stare at pedestrians walking on the street.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are rules.

Miaotang Lane is complicated with people, and they are all-encompassing. Therefore, everyone will be extremely careful about those who approach them, and at the same time, they will be more wary of new faces from outside.

The moon is sparse, the night is quiet, and the moonlight is projected into the ditch of the temple alley. The most primitive human voices are faintly heard from behind some closed doors. Go out, but people nearby are used to it.

Changqing Inn is just out of Miaotang Lane. It has a very simple facade. A worn-out wooden board hangs at the front of the door. The font is also very scribbled, but it can let people know that this is a place to stay.

The accommodation here is naturally very cheap, but there are actually not many guests. In fact, people who dare to stay in this mixed place are very timid, but there are not many people who are really daring in this world.

Although the inn is very cheap, the nearby secret doors will spring up like mushrooms after the night falls. The money spent is not much more than the inn, but it can hold a girl to sleep all night, so Those who really want to stay there would rather find a secret door to get in than live in an inn.

So even in the middle of the night, if you stay at this inn, you can still find a room.

In the quiet alley, UU reading www.sonicmtl.com a figure is walking forward step by step on the bumpy road, he is covered with a thin black cloak, even his head is covered, he is very uncomfortable when walking. Slow, those cold eyes are always paying attention to the surrounding situation.

Walking all the way to the front of the Changqing Inn, the man stopped for a while, looked around, and then entered the inn. The shop assistant who had been waiting for the customer hurriedly bowed and said with a smile, “Uncle is back?”

The man ignored it, walked to the edge of the stairs, and walked up to the second floor lightly.

On the second floor, there is a long corridor in front, with guest rooms on both sides, the door facing the door, and a lantern hanging on each end of the corridor. Although the corridor is dark, it is not difficult to see clearly.

The man walked straight forward, but his eyes swept left and right, observing the situation on both sides of the aisle, and walking a short distance, the man suddenly stopped, and a cold light suddenly appeared in his eyes, but out of the corner of his eyes he saw On the door on the left, there is a sign hanging on it, and a symbol is drawn on it, which looks like an earthworm.

The lights were on inside the house, and it was obvious that someone was there.

The man only paused, but did not stop. He continued to walk forward, taking five or six steps, and then stopped in front of a door, opened the door gently, and turned back to the room with the wooden sign. He glanced at the door, a sneer crossed his lips, and then entered the house, and then closed the door.

After he entered the house, there was no light or sound in the house.
