Chapter 40 Chapter 40 No Choice

garden.stone house. Ge Mo and Qian Shichen sat and talked to each other. After hearing what happened to Bi Ye Mingzhu, Ge Mo said in disbelief: "This is impossible, did you read it wrong?" Qian Shichen said with certainty: "I'm not mistaken! The so-called luminous pearls that are circulated today are completely incomparable. Only the luminous pearls embedded in the Chu box can have this kind of brightness. They are really radiant and golden. I might be wrong when looking at other things, but I can’t be wrong when looking at antiques and curios.” After a while, he continued: "What's more, Wudun Pirates said that Ye Mingzhu was obtained from Yunmengze. You said that Ye Mingzhu didn't come from Chuhe, but where did it come from? Senior brother will definitely help me with this."

Ge Mo pondered: "If the person who owns Ye Mingzhu is Gu Yueming, it still makes sense, because I have found the Chu box for this kid, but..." Qian Shichen interrupted him anxiously: "Time is running out, only senior brother has the ability to catch that kid, and then force him to find out the whereabouts of Chu He." Ge Mo pondered and said: "You're thinking naively. Now that the people of the Dahemeng are staring at them, how can I break into the Hongyelou to arrest people and take him out of the Hongyelou to torture and extract a confession? And he has the title of Wudun Pirates." , which means that he is good at escaping, if he is not worthy of his name, he would have fallen into the hands of the Great River Alliance."

Qian Shichen said worriedly: "What should we do? There are only three hours left before dawn. Once the Dahe League launches an attack, all our previous efforts will be in vain." Ge Mo said: "We have a good relationship with the Dahemeng now. As long as we find an excuse and use Wudun to steal it, I guarantee that within half an hour he will be able to recruit Chu He." Qian Shichen shook his head and said: "No excuse will work. The Dahemeng is afraid that Gu Yueming will block the road and rob people. After capturing the five escaped robbers, they will immediately feed him drugs, put him on the Dahemeng's boat, and drive away immediately. Senior brother The proposal doesn't work."

Ge Mo showed a look of hard thinking, and said: "As long as we can convince Dahemeng that Lang Geng is not a five-dun robber, we can immediately solve this urgent problem, so that we have enough time to come up with a comprehensive solution." Qian Shichen said: "Neither Ruan Xiuzhen nor Qiu Jiushi is easy to deceive. They believed that Lang Geng was a thief from the beginning, and now they have proved that they have not wronged Lang Geng. Why should we persuade them?" Ge Mo said: "What about the news from the capital?" Qian Shichen said distressedly: "Master Qiu Jiu just asked me about this matter today, and I told him that the news would not come to me until the day after tomorrow at the earliest. When this matter was the worst, I suddenly took a fake Send a letter to tell them that the news has arrived, and it’s no wonder they don’t get suspicious.”

Ge Mo's eyes lit up suddenly, and he said, "There is another way." Qian Shichen was overjoyed and said, "What way?" Baichun's beautiful eyes widened, looking at the night pearl that Wu Zixu was pinching between his fingers, Daqi asked: "Such a jade bead, what kind of rare treasure is it? Try taking it to a pawn shop, I'm sure I won't be able to pawn it." Ten taels of silver." Wu Zixu felt that something was wrong, so he brought the Ye Mingzhu to his eyes for a closer look, he was puzzled and said, "How did it become like this, it must be covered with dust."

Baichun looked at him wiping the jade beads on his sleeve, and sighed: "If this pearl can make Qian Shichen not hesitate to turn against Dahemeng, it must be an anecdote in the world. But it is also rare, and this is the first time I have seen such a low-quality pearl. " Wu Zixu held the Ye Mingzhu in front of his eyes again, and stared at it in disbelief. The originally crystal clear pearl was still covered with dust, which could not be wiped off no matter what. Baichun said: "Do you still dare to call yourself the fifth thief? If the fifth thief is as ignorant as you, and only steals worthless things, the fifth thief will become the code name of a stupid thief."

Wu Zixu put Ye Mingzhu in his sleeve, and smiled confidently: "Let me do tricks for Baichun to appreciate. Look!" Baichun saw that he raised his hand to her, with a strange look, couldn't help "puchi" and smiled coquettishly, and said, "What are you looking at? What's so good about your stinky hands." Wuzi retracted his hands, looked into his sleeves, and said in disbelief, "My grandma! Why isn't there any light?" Baichun couldn't help laughing and said, "What about your grandma? Do you think you are a night pearl that can glow in the dark? Sigh! Enough nonsense, put away your rare treasures, don't show them to shame Now."

Wu Zixu sucked the beads into his arms foolishly, unable to speak. Baichun managed to hold back his laughter, and said: "You have at least one advantage, which is to make people laugh. It feels quite good. I haven't laughed like this for a long time, and it has been proved that you are not such a troublesome five-stealing thief. Later I'll go to Qiu Jiushi, so that he won't make a fool of himself by capturing the wrong person." Seeing that Wu Zixu was still in a daze, he said angrily, "What else is there to think about, don't you want to make portraits for others?"

Wu Zixu murmured: "This is impossible." Baichun said angrily: "Are you fascinated by ghosts? Still talking nonsense." Wu Zixu smiled wryly, "I don't know about the others, but being fascinated by ghosts is certain." Baichun happily said: "Can we start?" With a confused expression on his face, Wu Zixu asked, "What to start with?" Baichun said unhappily: "Of course I started to paint. You have caused people to have no stories to listen to. If you can't paint, I will kill you." The rare treasures turned into mortal pearls, Wu Zixu completely lost interest in doing anything, and was about to make excuses, when suddenly his mind was shaken and the scenery changed suddenly.

Baichun was still there, but instead of facing him, he was standing on the edge of the battlement with his back.In front of him is the vast sky, the golden sun is sinking into the horizon, the fiery red sunset is dyeing the sky, the soft wind is blowing, and Bai Chun's hair hanging behind is gently fluttering. Then Baichun turned around slowly, facing him, her beautiful face showed indescribable sadness, her face was full of tears, and she was crying until the pear blossoms were raining. Wuzi regained his composure, the shocking scene disappeared, and everything returned to its original state.

Baichun is still sitting there, the place is still the Water Champs Pavilion, and behind it is the Hanging Pond after the rain. The dark night sky is dotted with countless stars, magnificent and charming. Baichun leaned forward and said, "Are you okay, why did you look so ugly?" Wu Zixu stared at her blankly. Baichun said with concern: "What happened? Are you feeling unwell?" Wu Zixu muttered: "I saw it... Alas! I saw Bai Chun..." Baichun was stunned and said: "You see what happened to me." Wu Zixu took a deep breath, shook his head, as if about to wave away something, reached out to pick up the paintbrush, and said, "Is Baichun ready? I'm going to start painting." Gu Yueming changed back to his usual attire, with the Wan sword stuck in the back of his waist, covered with a robe, with a long sword on his back, and walked along the street towards Hongyelou. Although he didn't accomplish his goal of killing Gomo tonight, he didn't mind. As he said, they were destined enemies, and one day they would live and die separately.One day earlier, one day later, there is no difference. In fact, he needs a rival like Gomo to embellish his dull life.How easy is it to meet a tough opponent like Ge Mo? Ge Mo was the first person in his life who was not absolutely sure to kill. Hongyelou is in sight. He was going to see Wu Zixu and spend the night with him until dawn.He didn't understand why he did it, he just knew he wanted to.He felt that he liked to face this dangerous night with Wu Zixu, and he didn't care whether it was a foolish act or not. Maybe it was really something that was owed to this kid in his previous life. He felt Wan Jian behind his waist. Why does it feel easier when I hold this sword than Bai Luyu?It's an inexplicable feeling.Wan Jian seems to have a closer relationship with him than Bai Luyu. Ge Mo said that he should have seen Wan Jian, but he couldn't tell when and where he saw Wan Jian, which is really intriguing. Gu Yueming stopped, less than twenty steps away from the gate of Hongyelou. A burly and dignified young man came out from the side alley, blocked his way, laughed and said: "Dare to ask Brother Gu, do you want to go to Hongyelou?" It was Qiu Jiushi. Gu Yueming said as if nothing had happened: "Where I want to go, I don't need Brother Qiu's consent!" Qiu Jiushi calmly said: "Brother Gu, can you make an exception once?" Gu Yueming said lightly: "I will never make an exception because of anyone." Qiu Jiushi stretched his hand backwards and took out the world-renowned Conferred God Stick. It was originally a short iron stick two feet long. He opened his two hands, and the left and right hands each held one end and locked them in opposite directions. Suddenly, it grew into a six-foot long stick. , like magic. Qiu Jiushi looked up to the sky and said with a smile: "Okay! Let me learn Brother Gu's fast sword. Brother Gu can rest assured that no one will interfere during our strike. If Brother Gu is capable enough to kill me, my people will collect the body and leave , not half a sentence." Gu Yueming nodded and said, "Good man!" "Clang—" Bailuyu out of the sheath.
