Chapter 55: Undercover


The sky is getting dark, and the evening breeze is slightly cold.After the day's operation, not many people were captured alive and returned to the guard station, except for Qu Xin and a few other killers who were in the thatched hut at the time, most of the Shadow members who were in charge of guarding and guarding outside the house died under the encirclement and suppression of the Jinyi guard.It's not that the killers of the Phantom are very good at martial arts, the main thing is that there is too much difference in numbers.After all, the Jinyi Guards are subordinate to the Dashu Imperial Court, and the people they can mobilize are by no means comparable to any non-governmental organization, not to mention that the Phantom itself is also a secret organization with not too many personnel.After this battle, the members of Wuchang local, that is, the Shadow Base Camp, were almost wiped out, and it was only a matter of time before some of the remaining fish slipped through the net, such as those who were collecting intelligence elsewhere, were caught; Because these people have to go back to Wuchang regularly to take the medicine of the continuation of Gu, but now that their highest line Quxin has been dismissed, as long as these people come back, they will be arrested, and if they don't come back...... will die.Ran Ling, who played a decisive role in this entire net collection operation, has made a great achievement; Compared with his role, Sun, Huang, and Lei, who traveled thousands of miles to Wuchang, seemed to be just three high-level bait......

Even Zhuang Baihu patted his chest with Ran Ling, saying that this time he would be promoted no matter what, and at least he had to be given a place for Baihu to sit in.Somewhat surprisingly......

This time, Ran Ling did not refuse, he not only gladly accepted Zhuang Li's praise, but also made it clear that he hoped that the latter could help him keep up with the first few good words.………… It's night, in Ran Ling's room.Although it was a busy day, he didn't go to lie down very early.He sat down at the table, and with a rare chance of placing a jug of wine on the table, he poured himself a drink.Tuk Tuk – Suddenly, there was a knock on the door."

Who?"

Ran Ling asked."

It's me, Brother Ran."

Huang Donglai's voice sounded outside the door, "Seeing that the lights in your house are still on, so you are bothered, is it convenient to chat?"

”When Ran Ling heard this, he thought for a few seconds, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Okay, the door is not locked, you can come in." ”When Huang Donglai pushed the door open, the smile on Ran Ling's face had disappeared, and he still looked as serious as usual."

Brother Ran, such a good Yaxing tonight."

Huang Donglai was not polite to him, and after taking the door with him, he sat down at the table talking to himself."

I'm really in a good mood today."

Ran Ling replied, and naturally picked up another cup and poured a glass of wine for Huang Donglai, "Ran originally wanted to hold a banquet in a restaurant in the city tomorrow and invite the brothers to have a good drink together, but I didn't expect you to come here, that's just right......

We brothers, we might as well have a few drinks tonight. ”"Huh......

Then it is better to be respectful than to obey the fate. ”Huang Dong said, and took the wine glass handed by the other party.The two raised their glasses, saluted each other, and drank a glass of wine each.As soon as the cup was put down, Ran Ling wanted to get the jug again, but Huang Donglai hurriedly got started and grabbed the jug before him: "Hey~ Brother Ran, this cup should be honored by the younger brother, let me come." ”Ran Ling smiled: "Okay, good." ”So, this time, Huang Donglai poured two glasses of wine, and after pouring it, he raised a glass and said loudly: "Today, Jinyiwei broke the shadow remnants of the party and eliminated harm for the people, Brother Ran has made great contributions, Donglai toasts you with a glass." ”"Please.""

Please."

Ran Ling was not modest, and had another toast with Huang Donglai."

Huh" After finishing this, Ran Ling let out a long sigh ......of relief from his throat and continued, "Huang Shaoxia is serious, Ran is just doing his duty, but you and Sun Shaoxia and Lei Shaoxia ......

None of them are in the public family, but they can still come from thousands of miles away and make enemies of the ghost......

This chivalrous heart, Ran sighed to himself, I should respect you. ”As he spoke, he poured wine again.Huang Donglai didn't shirk, and the two drank a third glass."

Alas......"

But after drinking this cup, Ran Ling's expression showed a trace of solemnity again, "But ah......

Huang Shaoxia, there is a word, I don't know whether to say it or not. ”Huang Donglai knew that the other party would come out like this, and he had been waiting for a long time: "Oh?

Brother Ran, but it doesn't hurt to say. ”Ran Ling put on a hesitant and tangled look, paused for a moment, and then said, "Hmm......

Huang Shaoxia, how much did you write down about Gu Qiying's book of making poison and refining Gu?

”"This ......"

Huang Donglai also pretended to be a little embarrassed, thought for a moment and then said, "I won't hide it from you, that notebook has been put aside overnight in my hand, although I have a lot of research on toxicology and other things, and I remember it quickly, but many of Gu Qiying's secret recipes are very strange, and I can't understand them, so I also wrote down about fifty percent." ”"Oh......"

Ran Ling nodded and asked again, "But I don't know, have you written down a recipe called 'red pus'?"

”"Huh?"

When Huang Donglai heard this, his face changed significantly, "Where did Brother Ran hear about 'red pus'?"

”In fact, from a certain point of view, he has admitted that he remembers.Seeing this, Ran Ling smiled slightly: "Oh~ Because I have fought with the Phantom people many times before, and I have also captured and interrogated a few people alive, so I know that every member of their Phantom Shadow has Gu planted Gu on their bodies, and the 'red pus' is the Gu on the bodies of those highest-level members." ”"What does Brother Ran mean ......," Huang Donglai asked tentatively.Ran Ling was also unhurried, and replied slowly: "If nothing else, the Quxin we caught today is 'red pus' in the body, if you still remember this recipe, it will help a lot......

We can use this Gu solution to blackmail Qu Xin, and ask him to gather the remaining Shadow members for us as soon as possible......"

Speaking of this, he raised his hand and made a "slash" motion, "......

Let's cut the grass and eradicate the roots. ”"Oh~" Huang Donglai shook his head and continued, "That's what you mean......"

He suddenly laughed, "Huh......

Little thing, I just remember this recipe. ”"Is that true?"

Ran Ling's eyes widened with excitement when he heard the other party clearly say the word "remember"."

Of course."

Huang Donglai said again, "And I have already made that medicine just now." ”He paused, "Not only has it been made, but it has already been eaten by Qu Xin." ”"What?"

Ran Ling was surprised when he heard this, and he even wondered if he had heard it wrong.But before he could fully taste the true flavor of the passage, another man pushed the door open and walked into his room.It wasn't someone else, it was Qu Xin......

At this moment, Na Quxin was no longer wearing the prison uniform he had changed into in the afternoon, but ......

Flying fish suit."

Mr.

Ran, let's meet again."

When Qu Xin said this, his expression was indifferent and his tone was calm.But the look in his eyes when he looked at Ran Ling was cold."

You ......"

Ran Ling stood up and instinctively reached out and grabbed the saber he hung on the head of the bed, "Bold Qu Xin!"

Dare to pretend to be a brocade guard!

Who got you out of prison?

”He didn't expect that an acquaintance of his would immediately answer the question."

Me."

Zhuang Li said as he also came in through the door.And behind Zhuang Baihu, there are also Sun Yihu, Lei Buji, and five or six Jinyi guards who are the best in this guard."

Baihu, what are you ......"

Ran Ling began to feel that something was wrong, and an ominous premonition spread across his back like a spider's back, making him break out in a cold sweat."

Mr.

Ran, let's get acquainted again."

Qu Xin said, "In Xia Qu Xin, ten years ago, I was also a small banner, and then I left Jinyiwei and lurked in the shadows for ten years, until just now......

The official was reinstated. ”Ran Ling just looked at the other party and didn't speak, because he was afraid that he would say something wrong and reveal his flaws."

The two of us are also destined, when I was sent to the Phantom, you also happened to be sent to Jinyiwei, so none of us met anyone, and we didn't know that the other party was undercover.""

Actually......

I still don't know what your real name is. ”When his words fell, Huang Donglai also stood up, retreated to the side of everyone unhurriedly, away from "Ran Ling", and continued: "If you want me to say, you two are the most destined......

The Gu in the body is the same. ”"Hey~ Huang Shaoxia, this is a bad statement."

Qu Xin said, "It's not fate, it's because of ......

In Gu Qiying's heart, me and him are equally important, so the Gu on our bodies is also at the same level. ”"Lord Hyaknohe!

Is there some misunderstanding here?

”At this moment, Ran Ling, who had been holding back for a long time, finally spoke, and his thinking was also very clear, among the people present, the only thing he needed to convince was Zhuang Li, and everyone else was secondary.But Zhuang Lili ignored him, and just stood there expressionlessly.Qu Xin still opened his mouth and responded: "Ran Zongqi......

Scold......

I'll call you Ran Ling, after all, I don't know what your original name is......" he said leisurely, "Actually, I'll think about it now......

You've got a good plan."

When Gu Qiying first died, you must have been in a hurry, because if you can't get a recipe for Gu within half a year, you will die."

But when you get the news and learn that Huang Shaoxia, who has mastered some of Gu Qiying's secret recipes, is coming to Wuchang, you suddenly have hope......

"As everyone knows, this news is actually the smoke deliberately released by Lord Yun and Lord Shui - these three young heroes are ostensibly here to assist Jinyi Wei in exterminating the Shadow Yu Party, but in fact, they ......

Their real mission is to 'use themselves as bait to help me uncover the inside line of the shadow lurking in the brocade guard'. ”Ran Ling's expression was tense, and his mind was also spinning rapidly, when he heard this, he interjected: "If that's the case, then why did you take people to attack them last night?"

”"Heh......"

Qu Xin smiled, "What about the sneak attack?"

”As soon as he said this, Ran Ling remembered that Qu Xin shouted "kill me" in the official post last night......

Only then did Ran Ling understand that this seemingly mentally retarded move was actually deliberate."

That inn is dangerous, and if I don't do anything, there's no guarantee that someone will do it without me knowing."

After a breath, Qu Xin continued, "And if I leave it to my subordinates, then it's really hard to say what happened last night......

Only when I personally lead the team and personally select people can I ensure the failure of the operation to the greatest extent. ”He said, shrugging his shoulders, "Of course, Mr.

Ran's appearance was not in my prediction, but judging from the results, you helped me." ”"If I were really undercover, I would have led someone to take your lair a long time ago, and I would be able to clear my name by killing you all, why should I wait until today?"

And Ran Ling once again opened the topic."

Isn't that too obvious?"

Qu Xin smiled and continued, "If you do that, you'll have to explain how you found out how you found the Shadow's lair; This kind of question is not something that can be prevaricated by the argument of 'I caught someone and asked it, and that person is now dead', even if you can get past it with this kind of nonsense, you will be suspected by the two adults of Yunshui sooner or later......"

He paused again, and then said: "What's more, even if you get rid of the old nest of the shadow, you can't help you get rid of the Gu on your body; It will even make Huang Shaoxia lose the reason to come to Wuchang, where will you go to get the antidote when the time comes?"

So, it's best to leave the 'discovery of the Shadow Lair' to someone else, what about you......

Just arrange the so-called 'back hand' in advance, and then take the three of them to the tea shop stronghold that you already know, pretend to be caught by accident, and throw yourself into the net."

And ......

You hid in their downstairs room last night, but didn't rush up at the first moment of the raid, presumably because you were hesitant at the time......

Hesitating to let Huang Shaoxia and the others be captured, you run back to the guard, claiming that you have found the Shadow Lair by following us, and then bring someone to kill us."

But you quickly figured out that there were too many variables and things you couldn't explain in that way......

So I gave up. ”When Qu Xin said this, he tilted his head and scratched the back of his neck, and sneered: "Huh......

Ran Ling, do you remember that when I was in that thatched hut during the day, I said to you with a look of sudden realization, 'It's you'?

”He paused for half a second, "At that time, you thought I wanted to say the phrase 'it was your plan', so you proudly told me about your 'back hand', but in fact......

I didn't mean that, but I was referring to - I already knew at the time, that the undercover agent was you. ”When Ran Ling heard this, his face was as dead as ashes, but he still held on and replied stubbornly: "You said so much, it's just speculation, do you have any evidence?"

”"Proof?

It's simple. ”At this time, it was also Huang Dong's turn to perform, "If you weren't a ghost person, you wouldn't have a 'red pus' Gu on your body, right?"

What about me......

I know how to match the incense that induces this kind of Gu, I'm going to match one now, and we'll see it in a moment. ”This sentence is decisive.The so-called straw that broke the camel's back."

No need......"

Ran Ling, or the shadow who pretended to be Ran Ling, finally gave up quibbling when he heard this, "I think it's ......" his tone was relieved, "Yes, I'm the person of the shadow."

Ten years ago, I killed a brocade guard who had no relatives and no reason and looked similar to myself, and then impersonated him; The organization used a little money, cleared up the relationship, and 'transferred' me to this place where no one knew me. ”"Hmph......"

Qu Xin immediately snorted coldly, and said in a sarcastic tone, "In the past ten years, the shadow has been able to gain a foothold in this Wuchang and operate smoothly, and you have also contributed to Mr.

Ran." ”"I'm just doing what I'm told."

Facing a desperate situation, Ran Ling was still neither humble nor arrogant, and said calmly, "Qu Xin, you have been controlled by Gu all these years, you should be able to understand me, when Gu Qiying was still alive, no one could disobey him......

But now, he's dead, and I'm doing this because I want to be a new person......

Be a good person. ”As he spoke, he clenched his fists again and said to Zhuang Li: "Lord Baihu......

What Ran Ling has done over the years, you and your brothers can see it, Ran Ling doesn't dare to take credit, now I just ask the adults to let Huang Shaoxia give me the antidote to Gu and save my life, and then I should leave, I hope that the adults will see the love of these ten years......"

"Ran Ling. ”Unexpectedly, Zhuang Li was not moved at all, but just interrupted him coldly, "No......

You're not Ran Ling, no matter who you are......

Just killing the Jinyi guard and stealing officials and bullying the lord are capital crimes, and I won't list them one by one."

You said it yourself just now, you are acting on orders, so what you have done as Ran Ling is nothing more than part of your order, a need for disguise......"

And now, I am acting according to the law, not to mention that the relationship between you and me may not be true, even if it is, I will not let you go either."

These words are considered dead by him.Words are generally said to be dead, but people ......

There are many ways to die."

Huh......

Good. ”After hearing Zhuang Li's response, Ran Ling also gave up his last attempt at words, and then ...... revealed his true colors, "Okay, then I'll kill you all, and then ask Huang Shaoxia slowly." ”The words fell, and the knife groaned.In the already crowded room, Ran Ling stepped up, drew his knife and headed towards Na Qu Xin first.
