Chapter 176: the truth
Chapter 176 The Truth
Looking at the crowd gradually approaching them, Ruan Youqing looked down at the bottom of the group in an unusually calm manner.
Legend has it that ghosts have no feet.
While this group of ghost-like things were advancing, Ruan Youqing still keenly noticed the faintly appearing feet behind the other party's robes.
Well...has feet...is alive.
At the same time as he breathed a sigh of relief, Ruan Youqing finally got in the mood to watch Ruan Youning and Fan'er's reaction.
As a result, the two of them looked like they were about to die generously, and stood upright behind her.
Feeling warm in his heart, Ruan Youqing raised his voice towards the approaching crowd: "Don't play tricks and pretend to be ghosts! If we trespass on your retreat without permission, we will leave now!"
As soon as the voice fell, the group of figures stopped suddenly, and their motionless appearance was indeed a bit creepy.
It was at this time that Ruan Youqing saw clearly that the group of people were all wearing masks, and they couldn't see their faces clearly at all.
The surrounding area was eerily quiet, not even the chirping of insects could be heard.
Just when Ruan Youqing thought they had really run into a ghost, there was a sudden laughter from the crowd.
With this creepy laughter, the crowd moved again, but this time they didn't move forward, but spread out to both sides.
At this moment, a slender figure walked out slowly.
This man's complexion is pale, but his lips are red and coquettish.
"The little girl is very courageous, but we received a commission, saying that a carriage from the capital will pass by here today, and the other party asked us to kill the people in the carriage with a lot of money. Estimating the time, the other party It should be you who said..."
"What if we are not? Are you not afraid...to kill innocent people indiscriminately?" At this time, Ruan Youqing's face was gloomy.
After seeing that the opponent was not a ghost, Ruan Youning changed from his sluggish expression just now, and was ready to attack.
The man smiled lowly, getting closer and closer.
"Killing innocent people indiscriminately? We just collect money to do things. Little girl, why don't you...eh? Miss Ruan?"
As the person got closer, the murderous intent on the other person became stronger and stronger.
However, just when Ruan Youqing was about to get up to attack, the sudden change in the other party's tone made Ruan Youqing freeze.
This person... seems to know her?
The other party clapped his hands suddenly, then reached out and slapped his face fiercely.
It turned out that...the other party was actually wearing a human skin mask.
Seeing that familiar face, Ruan Youqing was completely stunned.
I saw the other party's face was filled with joy: "I never thought that I would meet Lao Gu's wife here!"
This person is none other than the helper Gu Changan invited in Wuyun back then, Qingbi!
It's just that acquaintances belong to acquaintances, but Ruan Youqing remembers that this person is the owner of Xuanji Tower, who specializes in assassination and murder.
Now, he only took the initiative to speak up after receiving the entrustment...
So, Ruan Youqing did not completely relax his vigilance, but cautiously said: "Just now..."
Seeing that the other party was still vigilant, Qingbi chuckled and waved her hands to the people behind her: "It's gone, it's gone! Then I won't accept the commission! This is Lao Gu's little wife, we can't accept it." This live!"
Seeing Qingbi's sincere eyes, Ruan Youqing finally relaxed and walked over.
"Young Master Qing... why are you here?" Ruan Youqing asked softly with a puzzled expression.
Qing Bi gave a rare embarrassed smile, and replied: "You can call me Ah Qing just like Old Gu, or you can call me Big Brother Qing. It sounds like Mr. Qing is really a gift!"
"Brother Qing, the legend of Calabash Mountain..."
"Hehe...the legend was just spread by someone I sent. Because here is the holy place of our Xuanji Tower, around the seventh day of every month, I would bring a group of people to this place to meditate for a few days. Because in the past, there would always be people who would not want to disturb , That's why I came up with this idea. After all...most people are afraid of ghosts. But...why did you choose this time and this place...Forgive me, as a big brother, it's not convenient to tell you more."
Ruan Youqing nodded clearly: "Youqing understands, Brother Qing can rest assured, today's matter, Youqing and Elder Sister will not mention it to others."
Seeing that the little girl offered to keep the secret for him, Qingbi immediately praised: "You girl is more sensible than old Gu! If this happened to him, he is destined to blackmail me!"
Ruan Youning, who saw that there was no fight, walked to Ruan Youqing's side at this time, and after carefully looking at Qingbi, he turned his head and whispered next to Ruan Youqing's ear, "Youqing, is this man a man? Why are you following him so long? like a woman?"
"Sister!" Ruan Youqing patted her lightly, trying to remind her not to talk too much.
Qing Bi has narrowed her eyes and said slowly: "Little girl, I can listen to what you say!"
After hearing this, Ruan Youqing hurriedly explained with a flushed face: "Brother Qing, don't get me wrong, my sister is not..."
「I know, I know, she compliments me on how good-looking I am. I’m quite self-aware about this.」
"Hmm..." Ruan Youqing didn't know how to answer, so he smiled a little foolishly.
"By the way, what are you guys doing here? And in the capital...but there are people who have offended you? If you can't remember it, I can check it back without paying you."
Listening to Qingbi's words, Ruan Youqing remembered that he seemed to have been inexplicably designed just now.
First, Qingbi explained the reason why they came here, then Ruan Youqing frowned slightly and pondered who was trying to harm her.
Not long after, someone's shadow appeared in her mind.
If she guessed correctly, the one who bribed the killer to assassinate her this time must be Rong Yan again!
"By the way! Brother Qing, did you see our coachman?" Ruan Youqing suddenly thought of the coachman who had just disappeared suddenly.
The coachman they brought out this time was hired by Ruan Youning directly from the market the day before departure.
They thought it was impossible to encounter danger on this trip, so they didn't check the driver's identity.
Now it seems...the coachman...
Maybe it is the other person!
At this moment, the grass in the distance suddenly made a little movement.
The voice was actually very weak, but the people present were not vegetarians.
Thus, as soon as they heard the sound, the three figures rushed into the grass that had just made a movement like bows and arrows.
Sure enough, after jumping out of the car, the coachman actually followed a certain distance and ran here.
Seeing the other party curled up and holding his head, Ruan Youqing asked coldly: "Who are you? Who is the master behind you?"
The coachman trembled and did not dare to raise his head, and his voice was also trembling: "My lord, spare me! The little one doesn't know anything!"
Ruan Youning, who also came over, frowned and was about to speak.
The coachman was suddenly mentioned, and Qingbi's voice became as gloomy as a ghost from **** at this time: "Speak out, and I will spare you from death. If you dare to play tricks, since your master has found us, it should be I have heard about the style of our Xuanji Building."
Sure enough, under the threat of Qingbi, the coachman finally told the truth.
