Chapter 13 Chapter Twelve

It was already noon the next day when we left Guandi Temple, and Guan Xiu didn't know when he fell asleep.When he woke up, the secret room was empty, and the master had disappeared. After walking around the room, he also left Guandi Temple.He just walked out of the Guandi Temple and felt that the sunlight outside was a bit dazzling. He quickly covered his eyes with his hands. The autumn sun shines on his body like this, which makes people feel warm, but Guan Xiu doesn't have much time to enjoy it. This warm feeling, just as Master said, is now the key to the whole plan, if one step is wrong, the consequences will be disastrous.About half a mile away from Guandi Temple, Guan Xiu saw a rickshaw in the distance, and he got in and went back to his residence.About half an hour later, Guan Xiu finally came to the front of the residence, and saw a black car parked at the alley of Guan Xiu's house. After seeing Guan Xiu, the car was honking its horn desperately.

Guan Xiu hesitated for a moment and walked towards the black car.The window of the car was slowly lowered. Wu Tian was sitting in the back seat of the car, wearing a well-fitting black suit, with shiny hair and a cigarette in his mouth. Seeing Guan Xiu, he smiled intimately. The smile gave Guan Xiu the illusion that he had returned to his school days in an instant. "Why are you here?" Guan Xiu looked at Wu Tian in surprise and said. "Hey, Guan Xiu-jun, it's really hard to find your place!" Takeda said. Takeda grinned, and at the same time opened the car door and sat aside to motion for Guan Xiu to get into the car.Guan Xiu didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Wutian's gourd, but he couldn't refuse, so he sat in the car helplessly and said with a smile, "Why are you so free today?"

"Haha, drive!" Takeda ordered involuntarily, then turned his head and said to Guan Xiu, "I'll take you to relax!" "Relax?" Guan Xiu looked at Wu Tian in confusion.Takeda, on the other hand, smiled secretly and smoked a cigarette. The black car drove around through the streets and alleys in the city of Beiping, and finally came to a Japanese kendo gym. After the car stopped, Takeda motioned for Guan Xiu to get out of the car. Guan Xiu finally understood what Takeda meant by "relax and relax". .When they were studying in Japan, Guan Xiu, Geng Nian, and Takeda often practiced kendo, and Geng Nian was far superior to the two in terms of physical fitness and reaction speed, while Takeda and Guan Xiu were evenly divided.

When Takeda got out of the car, two Japanese men in Taoist uniforms at the door greeted him quickly, bowed deeply to Takeda, Takeda smiled slightly, and made a gesture of invitation to Guan Xiu, Guan Xiu politely Bowing in return, the two entered the Kendo gym together.This kendo hall is located in the west of Beiping City, and all of them are Japanese.Wu Tian led Guan Xiu and the two to change into clothes, and each held a bamboo sword to a quiet dojo. The two stood facing each other, holding the bamboo sword tightly in both hands. After the ceremony, the two began to attack each other.Japanese kendo originated from the sword technique of the Sui Dynasty in China. After hundreds of years of research by the Japanese, it gradually took shape in the Edo period of Japan.There are many schools of Kendo in Japan, and the most famous one is Beichen Yidao Style. There are too many schools under it, but no matter what kind of school it is, it is based on the ancient sword techniques such as Tangzhu, Kasao Zhan, Ni Kasaya, and Zuo Pheasant. , Right Pheasant, Left Cut Up, Right Cut Up, Headwind, and Spike are based on nine kinds of slashing attacks.

As soon as the two started the game, Takeda came aggressively, waving the bamboo sword in his hand and slashed straight at Guan Xiu's throat. He had already expected that Takeda would make this move, so he turned his wrist slightly and separated the blow with the bamboo sword.Wu Tian changed his plan to stab, and the bamboo sword went straight to Guan Xiu's chest. Guan Xiu waited for his work, his body slightly dodged, and at the same time, the bamboo sword slashed towards Wu Tian's wrist.Wu Tian was in a bad mood, and the bamboo sword in his hand had changed before it arrived.Dodging Guan Xiu's blow, and then separated Guan Xiu's bamboo sword, his body rushed forward, and the bamboo sword in his hand slashed towards Guan Xiu's throat.Wu Tian let out a roar, and saw that the bamboo sword in his hand stopped an inch away from Guan Xiu's throat, but Guan Xiu's bamboo sword was also pressed against Wu Tian's chest at this moment.The two were stunned for a moment, looked at each other and smiled, and then they competed for a few rounds, winning and losing each other.Around evening, the two of them were already profusely sweating. There was a hot spring behind the kendo hall. Takeda and Guan Xiu entered the hot spring, leaned against the wall of the pool, drank sake, and enjoyed the hot spring.At this time, Guan Xiu said eloquently: "Mr. Wutian, I'm afraid you came to me for more than just practicing swords?"

Takeda froze in mid-air with his hand holding the sake, and then smiled relievedly, "Guan Xiu-kun is Guan Xiu-kun. Gengnian-kun and I thought you were the smartest when we were in school, and you are still the same!" "Hehe, this is also forced. In the past few years in the super high school, I have almost slept with one eye open. If you are a little careless, your head may have moved the next day! Be smart and live for a long time One!" Guan Xiu said as he drank the sake in his glass and turned his head to look at Takeda Dao, "Do you think so?" "Haha, Guan Xiu-jun doesn't have to be so pessimistic." Wutian drank the wine in his glass and continued, "I invite you here today besides practicing swords and soaking in hot springs, I also invite you to watch a good show!"

"Good show?" Guan Xiu smiled and said, "Could it be possible to go to a kabuki performance?" "It's much more exciting than that!" Takeda smiled slyly, picked up the jug and poured a glass of wine for Guan Xiu, and said, "I told you the day before yesterday that I wanted you to help me deal with Matsui's old fox!" "Well, you didn't tell me your plan at the time!" Guan Xiu said while drinking. "I'm afraid the opportunity has come!" Takeda said confidently with a smile. The two soaked in the hot spring for more than an hour. When Guan Xiu suddenly fell asleep, Wu Tian patted him on the shoulder and whispered in his ear: "It should be time to watch a play!"

Guan Xiu woke up and put on his clothes, followed Wutian into the black car parked at the door and drove away from the kendo hall.It was already past ten o'clock at night, Guan Xiu sat beside Wutian and saw that Wutian was silent all the time, with a secretive smile on his mouth from time to time, but he didn't know what kind of plan he was up to.After these two encounters, Guan Xiu has clearly realized that the person in front of him is no longer the simple Takeda he met many years ago, and now he is full of palaces and tricks. The moon was shining outside and the stars were sparse. After leaving the Kendo Hall, the car went straight to the direction of Bada Hutong.Although this is a place of fireworks, Guan Xiu knew that Wutian would never bring him here late at night to look for flowers and willows. Sure enough, the car walked around the Bada Hutong, wandered around the front alley, and then slowly turned into a small alley. The street opposite was full of lights, and even though it was late at night, it was still full of people.Wu Tian took out a cigarette and handed it to Guan Xiu, then said leisurely, "The show is about to begin!"

Guan Xiu looked forward with a cigarette in his mouth, and saw that the brightly lit place turned out to be a casino.Guan Xiu looked at Wutian puzzled and said, "What good show can there be here?" "Hey, Guan Xiu, don't worry!" Takeda patted Guan Xiu's hand with a smile on his face and said with a confident look, "Using an old Chinese saying, you can't eat hot tofu if you are impatient!" Guan Xiu smiled noncommittally, and continued to observe the casino in front of him.Even though it was such a time, people were still coming and going in and out of the casino at this moment.As the saying goes, there is no winner in gambling for a long time. Gamblers try their luck with the intention of getting rich overnight. If they win, they want to get bigger, but if they lose, they still want to get back their money.Just like this, the more you gamble, the more you lose, and the more you lose, the more you gamble, and finally sell the house and land to pay for your sons and daughters.

Thinking of this, Guan Xiu couldn't help sighing deeply. At this moment, Guan Xiu suddenly saw three black cars parked at the entrance of the casino.All the doors opened almost at the same time, and a dozen or so Japanese wearing kendo costumes got out of the car. After they got out of the car, they entered the casino with lightning speed.In an instant, there was a riot in the casino, and many timid gamblers rushed out of the casino for fear of getting burned.All of a sudden there was an uproar in the casino, and in about half an hour, several Japanese rushed out of the casino carrying a black cloth bag and returned to the car.After everyone got into the car, the three cars left the casino in a hurry.Everything that happened in front of him was only within a quarter of an hour, Takeda clapped his hands lightly, and smiled triumphantly.At this moment, a Japanese man in casual clothes ran out of the casino, looked left and right at the door for a moment, and trotted all the way towards this direction until he saw this black car.

The Japanese man was standing in front of the car, and Takeda gently rolled down the window.The Japanese saluted Takeda and said, "Sir, mission accomplished!" Takeda waved his hand, then motioned for the driver to drive.After the car started, it turned back to the Kendo gym where the two had just left.Along the way, Wu Tian always had a proud face, smiled and remained silent, but Guan Xiu had already guessed the general idea.Takeda's so-called good show is to allow himself to watch the plot of those Japanese arresting people with him just now, and who is it that they took away with that black bag? Guan Xiu thought about this question in his heart. When they arrived at the Kendo Gym, the three cars had already arrived ahead of schedule.After Takeda got out of the car, there were still a few Japanese who came forward respectfully, and one of them whispered a few words in Takeda's ear.After hearing this, Wu Tian smiled and waved his hands: "Guan Xiu-jun, do you want to know who they took away from the casino just now?" Guan Xiu smiled slightly, with an expression of indifference, he didn't want Wu Tian to see the urgency in his heart.But Takeda seemed to be indifferent and said with a smile: "Come on, follow me to meet him." After all, Takeda took Guan Xiu into the Kendo Hall. Under the guidance of a Japanese, Takeda and Guan Xiu walked through the corridors and pavilions in the Kendo Hall to a room, and there were two Japanese standing at the door of the room.Wu Tian stopped at the door and whispered to Guan Xiu, "Guan Xiu-jun, you must know this person!" This sentence seemed to imply something to Guan Xiu, and Guan Xiu quickly searched in his mind.Seeing Guan Xiu's serious face, Wu Tian couldn't help but smiled easily and said: "You don't need to think about it, you can see it immediately!" As he said that, the people on both sides had already pushed the door open, and as soon as Guan Xiu stepped into the room, he saw a tall man The dwarf, who was less than five feet tall, was tied behind his back on the bed with his hands behind his back, a black cloth was stuffed in his mouth, he hesitated with his round eyes, his face was flushed red from the pressure. "Jin Shun?" Guan Xiu said in surprise when he saw the man, "He..." "Well, it's him!" Takeda walked to Jinshun with a smile and pulled the black cloth out of his mouth.In an instant, the air rushed into Jinshun's throat. He lowered his head and coughed violently, raised his head and said, "You... who are you? Why did you bring me here?" But when he saw Guan Xiu, he couldn't help but frowned. Takeda sized up the ugly dwarf in front of him and said, "Is your name Jin Shun?" Jin Shun had already experienced the opponent's strength just now, and knew that if he didn't cooperate, he would surely die.He quickly turned his anger into joy and flattered him: "Yes, yes, I am Jinshun!" "Well, that's good!" Takeda took off his gloves and put them on the table, took out a cigarette and lit it and said leisurely, "Jin Shun, I came to you today to know something!" "Hey, tell me, tell me, as long as I, Jinshun, know everything, I'll tell you everything!" Having said this, he glanced at Guan Xiu again, with a complicated expression on his face, both puzzled and surprised. "Well, Fang Rude took you to meet someone this morning. Who is that person? What did you say?" Takeda put away his relaxed expression and asked. "This..." Jin Shun lowered his head hesitantly, he knew that the conversation in the morning was very important, and if it leaked out, his life might be in jeopardy. Takeda glanced at the hesitant Jinshun, smiled slightly and clapped his hands lightly. The Japanese who had already been guarding outside the door pushed open the door. In his hand was a tray covered with red silk, the inside of which was bulging. of.The Japanese put the tray on the table, and Takeda gently untied the red silk. Inside were several golden bars, and said, "As long as you answer the question I just asked, these are all yours!" Jin Shun saw the eyes of the gold bar in front of him light up, and gently licked his lips with his tongue.For a gambling addict, gold and life can be completely equated.He rubbed his hands anxiously, still unable to make up his mind.Seeing this situation, Takeda suddenly pulled out a revolver from the waist of the Japanese next to him and pointed it at Jinshun's chest. Jinshun hurriedly put his hands on his chest and knelt on the ground with a plop and said, "Just let me go!" But Takeda smiled and took the gun back and weighed it in his hand, and said, "Jin Shun, I know you like to gamble. Then let's gamble!" As he spoke, Takeda skillfully put the six bullets on the revolver They were all unloaded with a "crash", he picked one of them and stuffed it in, and lightly turned the wheel, and the wheel spun for a few weeks before he stopped and put the pistol on the tray Next to the gold said: "We bet our lives!" When Jin Shun talked about gambling, his eyes lit up immediately, and he asked, "What kind of gambling?" "We took turns shooting at our temples. If I die in the end, then you take the gold away, and no one here will make things difficult for you. If you lose, then stay here with your life!" Takeda said softly He smiled and said, "If you don't want to gamble, then tell me what happened this morning! You can still leave with the gold!" After listening to Wu Tian's rules, Jin Shun became more gambler, nodded and said loudly, "I'll bet with you!" After speaking, Takeda picked up the gun in the tray with his right hand, pointed at his temple and pulled the trigger without hesitation.Hearing a slight "click", Guan Xiu's heart trembled suddenly, and he broke into a cold sweat for Wutian.But Takeda threw the gun across the table as if nothing had happened and said, "It's your turn!" At this moment Jinshun stood up and walked to the front of the table, lightly grabbed the gun and aimed it at his temple, hesitating for a moment and pulled the trigger with a grin on the corner of his mouth, there was another slight "click" sound, and the gun didn't go off!He heaved a sigh of relief, cold sweat was already streaming down his back, and carefully pushed the gun in front of Takeda.Takeda picked up the gun and pressed the trigger without hesitation, but the gun didn't go off.He threw the gun in front of Jinshun and said, "Go on!" Sweat was already dripping from Jinshun's forehead, he took the gun with trembling hands, his eyes subconsciously glanced at the golden bar next to him, his throat trembled slightly twice, he closed his eyes and twitched at his temples There was another "click" when the trigger was pulled, but the gun didn't go off.But Jinshun was already trembling with fright, he put the gun on the table like throwing away a hot potato, panting violently.Now is the fatal moment, four of the six opportunities have been used up, and only the last two are left.And in these two times, one person will fall, either Jinshun or Takeda. Takeda also seemed a little nervous at this time, stood up and picked up the gun, paused and said, "Jin Shun, we are going to end with these two shots, if I don't die with this one shot, you don't even have the last chance to kill me." It's all gone." Jin Shun's head was a little confused.Although he is addicted to gambling, there are many people in the casino who are so eager to gamble that their hands and feet are cut off, but the gambling life in front of them is extremely rare.He raised his head to look at the gun in Takeda's hand, then looked at the gold on the table and hesitated.At this time, Takeda had already pointed the gun at his temple, and gently pressed the trigger with his fingers slightly arched.For a moment, Guan Xiu's heart was already in his throat, and he heard a "click", and the firing pin hit empty!Only then did Guan Xiu heave a sigh of relief, and Jin Shun immediately slumped on the ground, the last bullet in the gun was for himself.He suddenly crawled to Wutian's feet and said, "I...I'll tell you!" "Hehe!" Takeda sat down with a smile and said, "Okay, as long as you tell me, our previous agreement is still valid!" "It's just..." Jin Shun glanced at Guan Xiu and lowered his head slightly.And Guan Xiu is so smart, he has already seen something in Jin Shun's eyes, and said softly: "I'll wait outside!" After Guan Xiu left, Jin Shun stood up and whispered something in Wu Tian's ear.About a quarter of an hour later, Jin Shun slowly backed away, and Wu Tian stood up and said, "Thank you for telling me this, Guan Xiu-jun, you can come in now!" At this moment, Guan Xiu, who had been waiting at the door, walked in slowly, and saw Jin Shun lowering his head, staring at the gold on the table.Takeda held the gun in his hand to his temple, and lightly squeezed the trigger.His move surprised both Jin Shun and Guan Xiu. Guan Xiu wanted to step forward to stop him, but Wu Tian smiled faintly, and then heard the "click" sound of the firing pin hitting the air.Guan Xiu and Jin Shun were shocked again. There are six bullets in this gun, and the first five bullets are all empty. Where is the last bullet?At this moment, Takeda miraculously took out a bullet from his hand. It turned out that the gun was empty at the beginning, but Takeda's technique was so fast that others didn't notice it at all! "No bullets?" Jin Shun suddenly realized and said angrily, "You lied to me!" "Hehe, Jinshun, do you know why you lose nine out of ten bets?" Takeda walked slowly to Jinshun's side and said softly, and he had skillfully put the bullet into the gun with his hands behind his back. Without knowing it, Jinshun stared at Wutian with rounded eyes, and Wutian suddenly pointed the gun to Jinshun's forehead and said grimly, "Because the final winners are those who are most capable of cheating!" As soon as the words were finished, there was a "pop", Jin Shun's head was pierced by a bullet, and he fell powerlessly to the ground.Wu Tian threw the gun on Jin Shun, and casually took the red silk covered with gold bars to wipe the blood spattered on his face and hands, turned around and looked calmly at Guan Xiu, who looked terrified, and smiled slightly. , patted the shoulder of Guan Xiu who was stunned in place, and then said to the Japanese beside him: "Clean up this place!" and walked out on his own. Guan Xiu, on the other hand, stood there in a daze. He knew that the young man in front of him was no longer the cowardly little follower who followed him and Geng Nian when they were studying together, but he didn't know when Wu Tian had become so cunning and cruel. .Although he had never had a good impression of Jinshun, but killing a person in an instant, and his expression could be so calm, he felt the hairs all over his body stand on end. "Guan Xiu-jun?" Seeing that Guan Xiu hadn't followed, Wutian stopped and said, "What's wrong?" Guan Xiu gradually came to his senses and looked at Wu Tian incredulously, hesitated to speak, then sighed and followed Wu Tian into a room not far away.Wu Tian knelt down in front of Guan Xiu and poured a cup of tea for Guan Xiu and said, "Does Mr. Guan Xiu think there is something wrong with me killing Jin Shun?" Guan Xiu shook his head and looked at Wutian with a serious expression and said, "I'm just shocked, shocked that you can become so cold-blooded!" There is an old saying that a scholar should look at you with admiration for three days! You don’t know what I have experienced, and if those things happened to anyone, I’m afraid they will become the same as me!” "Hehe!" Guan Xiu said with a noncommittal smile, "I'm afraid your purpose of getting rid of Matsui Shangyuan is not as simple as you said!" "Guan Xiu-jun is really smart, but don't you want to get rid of Matsui Shangyuan? Getting rid of him is beneficial to you and me!" Takeda said unabashedly, "The so-called enemy's enemy is a friend, not to mention You and I were classmates and friends many years ago!" "Friend?" Guan Xiu said sarcastically, "Since you know so much about China, you must know a word, right?" "What?" Wu Tian asked, looking at Guan Xiu suspiciously. "Cutting off the gown!" Guan Xiu dipped his finger in the water in the teacup and drew a line on the table lightly and said, "From now on, there is only a transaction between you and me, and there is no friendship at all!" Wutian smiled slightly and said, "Guan Xiujun, why bother?" Guan Xiu waved his hand suddenly, signaling Takeda not to continue talking.Takeda shrugged helplessly and said, "Okay, let's talk about business!" "Jin Shun told me something just now, which is roughly the same as what I guessed!" Takeda took out a note from his clothes and handed it to Guan Xiu, "This is the secret order issued by Matsui Shangyuan this afternoon! Knowing this No more than ten people can issue a secret order!" Guan Xiu took the note, the secret order was written in Japanese, which was not a problem for Guan Xiu at all, but the contents of the letter made his heart tighten, the secret order translated means: secretly search for Duan Er'e! "Her?" Guan Xiu looked at Wutian puzzled. "What? You know this person?" Takeda sensed something from Guan Xiu's expression. Guan Xiu sneered, as a tacit consent.He knew Takeda was a smart guy and there was no point in lying to him. "Jin Shun said that she is the only descendant of the gold system who has mastered the gold-type insect repellent technique. If you can find her before Matsui's old fox, I will have enough confidence to get rid of Matsui Shangyuan!" Takeda said excitedly , he looked at Guan Xiu with piercing eyes. "As far as I know, this person should be in Xinjiang now!" Guan Xiu knew that Duan Er'e had been with Pan Jun and his party all along, but he didn't know anything about what happened afterwards. "No, according to Jinshun, this woman was secretly escorted back to Peiping a few days ago, but no one knows where she is hiding!" Wutian said lightly, suppressing the excitement in his heart. "Has she returned to Peiping?" Guan Xiu looked at Wutian suspiciously.Takeda nodded slightly. "Then why don't you send your men to find her whereabouts?" Guan Xiu had just seen the strength of these Japanese warriors. "Well, Guan Xiu-jun doesn't know something. Since I came to China, Matsui Shangyuan has been sending people to watch me, looking for opportunities to get rid of me. If it wasn't necessary tonight, I wouldn't send them to arrest Jin Shun If I let them conduct a large-scale search and Matsui Shangyuan finds out, I'm afraid he will attack me in advance!" After saying this, Takeda stood up, walked to Guan Xiu and knelt down respectfully, "So, the only thing to do is to find this woman. I can ask you to trust Xiujun!" Guan Xiu smiled contemptuously: "Don't forget, there is only a deal between you and me!" Takeda thought for a while and said, "If you help me find that girl, I'll also tell you a secret you've always wanted to know!" "The secret I've always wanted to know?" Guan Xiu glanced at Takeda.Takeda nodded earnestly and said, "Yes! That traitor from the exterminator family!" "Okay!" Guan Xiu stood up and said, "It's a deal!" After speaking, Guan Xiu turned and opened the door and walked out. It was already past two o'clock in the morning when we left the kendo hall, and there was no one on the street.Occasionally, I could hear the chirping of katydids in my ears. Guan Xiu was walking towards home while thinking, has Duan Er'e really returned to Beiping City?What happened to Pan Jun and his party?Takeda killed Jinshun in front of him, no doubt in order to kill others, so what exactly did Jinshun and Takeda say?Why are Matsui Shangyuan and Takeda desperately looking for Duan Er'e's whereabouts?Although he still couldn't figure out these issues, the only thing that was certain was that Duan Er'e was a very important person. Even if he didn't agree to Takeda, he would still find Duan Er'e, and he must find Duan Er'e before Matsui Shangyuan. Thinking of this, Guan Xiu suddenly stopped in his tracks, hesitated for a while, and decided not to go home for the time being.He looked around and saw a brothel not far away, with several rickshaws parked at the door.He walked towards the rickshaw in two steps in three steps, got on the car manager and ran towards Ziwu's residence.The child named Jinlong from Ziwu's family must know what happened after Pan Jun and the others left Anyang. The first thing he needs to confirm is whether Duan Er'e has returned to Beiping. The rickshaw detoured a few alleys in Beiping City, and from a distance, the alley where Ziwu's residence was located could be seen.But at this moment, Guan Xiu suddenly stepped on the foot bell, and the coachman turned his head in surprise, and asked, "What's the matter, sir?" "Stop here!" Guan Xiu whispered. "Okay!" the coachman said and parked the car in an alley not far from Ziwu's house.Guan Xiu got out of the car and wandered around the alley, observing the movement ahead, when he suddenly thought of a question just now.Ziwu is the undercover agent placed by the Japanese next to Pan Jun. He is the only person Matsui Shangyuan knows who knows the whereabouts of Pan Jun and his party best.If the old fox Matsui wanted to find Duan Er'e, he would definitely find Ziwu first.He was thinking like this, at this moment a black car suddenly drove up from the opposite side, Guan Xiu hurriedly got into the dark alley.The car stopped at the door of Zi Wu's house without stopping, and through the moonlight tube Xiu saw Zi Wu slowly get out of the car, and the car drove away immediately. Ziwu looked around at the alley, and was about to walk towards the door, but a figure appeared behind him, and patted Ziwu on the shoulder inadvertently.Zi Wu jerked and turned her head to see Guan Xiu standing behind her. "You...why are you here? I was in the car just now and was wondering if I should go find you!" Zi Wu said in surprise. "Let's talk inside!" Guan Xiu said in a low voice. "Okay!" Zi Wu said as he took out the key and was about to walk towards the door, but Guan Xiu grabbed him, "Where is that child?" "You mean golden dragon?" Ziwu was puzzled why Guan Xiu suddenly became concerned about the child. "Well, where is he?" "In the room!" Zi Wu replied truthfully. "I want to see him!" Guan Xiu said and let go of Zi Wu's hand, Zi Wu seemed to understand something and opened the door quickly.After the two entered the courtyard, Ziwu locked the courtyard door, and then brought Guan Xiu into the house.Pushing open the door, Guan Xiu looked around and saw that there was no one in the room. He anxiously turned his head and grabbed Zi Wu and said, "Where's the child?" Seeing this situation, Zi Wu was also at a loss for a while.Jin Long was obviously sleeping on the bed when he left, but now he's gone!Zi Wu dropped a bunch of keys in his hand and looked around the house, but there was no sign of tampering in the house.At this time, Guan Xiu also checked the door, and there was no sign of prying the door. Zi Wu and Guan Xiu, who had searched the entire room, looked at each other, their hearts sank.At this moment, Guan Xiu suddenly made a silent gesture to Zi Wu, Zi Wu frowned, only to hear a very slight snoring sound coming from this room.Following the snoring sound, I saw a clothes cupboard as tall as a person placed in the corner.The two walked towards the cupboard one after the other, Zi Wu gently opened the door of the cupboard, and saw that Jin Long was lying in the cupboard with a dagger in both hands, already asleep!The two finally breathed a sigh of relief. Zi Wu reached out and gently took the dagger from Jin Long's hand and handed it to Guan Xiu, then took the sleeping Jin Long out of the closet with both hands and put him on the bed, and gently covered him with a quilt.Unexpectedly, Jinlong was holding Ziwu's hand tightly at this time, a line of hot tears flowed from his eyes, his lips moved slightly and murmured: "Sister...sister...don't go, I'm afraid..." Ziwu looked at Jin Long, who was sleeping soundly, felt sad from it.He patted Jinlong lightly, and Jinlong let go of Ziwu's hand and hugged the quilt tightly, probably crying in a dream and trembling slightly. After Ziwu settled the golden dragon, he and Guan Xiu came to sit in front of the table. They were silent for a while, you look at me, I look at you.Some things are like this, but they don't know where to start when they are speechless.After a while, Ziwu said softly: "After dinner, Matsui Shangyuan suddenly sent someone to take me to his residence. What do you think is the reason?" "Duan Er'e!" Guan Xiu said word by word.Zi Wu was taken aback: "How did you know about this?" "Time is running out, we will talk about this matter later. Tell me what Matsui Shangyuan told you first?" Ziwu's words just now confirmed Guan Xiu's guess. "Matsui Shangyuan asked me about the relationship between Uncle Xiaoshi and his group, focusing on the relationship between Ouyang Yanying and Duan Er'e!" Ziwu recalled, "Although he didn't tell me to look for Duan Er'e, I learned from him. They guessed in their tone that they might suspect that after Yanying broke up with Xiao Shishu, they secretly escorted Duan Er'e back to Beiping and placed them in a secret place!" "Same as I guessed!" Guan Xiu said thoughtfully. "I don't know why they are so interested in this girl surnamed Duan, but judging from today's situation, this matter seems to be extremely important, otherwise he wouldn't suddenly ask me overnight, and he is also secretive when he speaks Yes. So I think it is necessary to discuss this matter with you, and I was thinking of looking for you when I came back, but I didn’t expect you to come to the door!” Zi Wu paused and continued, “But I don’t know where they came from I got the news that Miss Duan has returned to Beiping, and I remember that she must have gone to Xinjiang with Uncle Xiaoshi!" "I'm afraid he is the only one who can help us understand what happened after Uncle Xiaoshi and the others left Anyang!" Guan Xiu pointed to the sleeping Jinlong on the bed. This eight or nine-year-old child is the only one they can grasp now. clues. "Well, I'm afraid that's the only way to go!" Zi Wu said, standing up and walking gently to the window. At this time, Jin Long was still hugging the quilt tightly, and the tears had dried up on his face, leaving two long tear stains. Zi Wu couldn't bear to wake him up.He paused for a moment and gently pushed Jinlong, Jinlong rubbed his eyes in a daze to see Ziwu and said: "Brother Ziwu, you are back!" "Well, Jinlong!" Ziwu said, pointing to Guan Xiu who was beside him, "This brother wants to ask you something!" "Who is he?" Jin Long looked up and down vigilantly at Guan Xiu.Although this child is only eight or nine years old, he has experienced so many things in just one month, and his mind has matured a lot. "He is your uncle Pan Jun and my friend!" Zi Wu said softly.Only then did Jin Long gradually lower his vigilance. Guan Xiu also walked up to Jin Long and said softly, "Jin Long, when was the last time you saw Sister Duan Er'e?" "Huh? Are you looking for sister Duan?" Since Grandpa Jinlong passed away, Duan Er'e has been taking care of Jinlong, so the two have a very good relationship. "Well, yes, we are looking for her!" Guan Xiu said hastily. "She...she went to look for Brother Yanying!" Jin Long said sadly, "We were on the way from Anyang to Gansu, and Brother Yanying once met Sister Duan in a small forest. Go to Sister Duan. But Sister Duan refused to leave. Later, Brother Yanying left by himself. After we arrived in Gansu, Uncle Pan Jun disappeared suddenly. Sister Duan suspected that Brother Yanying must have taken Uncle Pan Jun away. So Before she left, she told me that she would go to brother Yanying to make an argument, and told me not to tell anyone, and when she came back, she would give me a Tibetan mastiff that was exactly the same as Bawu!" "That's right!" Guan Xiu said thoughtfully after hearing Jin Long's words, "I think that after Miss Duan found Yan Ying, she was put under house arrest by Yan Ying and sent back to Beiping City. If this is the case, then Duan I'm afraid the girl is really in Beiping city!" "But this vast city of Beiping is so big, it's too easy to hide someone. Finding Miss Duan is like finding a needle in a haystack!" What Ziwu said was exactly what Guan Xiu was worried about. Not only did they want to find Duan Er'e, but they also had to We must find her before Matsui Shangyuan, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.But where would Yanying hide Duan Er'e?Guan Xiu fumbled in his pocket, but it was empty.At this moment, Zi Wu handed Guan Xiu a cigarette, and Guan Xiu lit it quickly and took a deep puff.After taking a few puffs of cigarettes, Guan Xiu's train of thought gradually became clear. Since Jin Shun had revealed the news about Duan Er'e in Beiping, how did Jin Shun know about it?Now Jinshun has died at the gunpoint of Takeda, and there is no way to investigate. "Little Jinzi, go on sleeping!" Ziwu said gently covering Jinlong with a quilt.However, Jin Long had just fallen asleep, but now he regained his energy. He stared at the two adults in front of him bewilderedly, his little brows were slightly frowned, as if hesitating to speak.Zi Wu patted Jin Long's shoulder and said, "What's wrong? Don't you want to sleep?" Jin Long turned his head sideways to look at Zi Wu, pouted his mouth and lowered his head, and said to himself, "Actually... Actually, I can find Sister Duan!"
