The group of people and vehicles did not slow down as they passed through Urban area downtown area. They whistled through the streets and headed straight for the river ferry.
A long time after the golden carriage had passed, the sound of hooves could be heard again. Looking in the direction of the sound, he saw two blood-red horses approaching at lightning speed.
The man and woman riding on the horse were not unfamiliar to Jiang Yuntian at all. With just a glance, he immediately recognized that the man and woman were the Tong siblings.
The man was wearing a heavy fur coat. He had thick eyebrows and a long face. He had an imposing appearance and an arrogant face. He was Tong Zhongwu, who had killed people a hundred steps away with his hidden weapon, Flying Silver Glow. That woman seemed to cherish her appearance very much. On her beautiful face, which was covered with flowers and moon, she added a white handkerchief.
Although the woman's true appearance couldn't be seen clearly due to the veil, Jiang Yuntian still recognized her at a glance. She was Tong Xiaowei. He called out this name silently in his heart.
The Tong siblings riding on the blood-red horse seemed to have followed the golden carriage all the way back. The horse was moving like an arrow leaving the bow. Because the horse was moving too fast, the wind it brought up stirred up a cloud of dust, forming a long dragon of dust.
Just as everyone heard the sound of hooves and looked up, the siblings had already galloped past on their horses. Due to Jiang Yuntian's previous encounter with Tong Xiaowei, she had left a good impression on Jiang Yuntian. Because of this good impression, he could not help but take a few more glances at her.
The eyes were the window to the human soul, the most sensitive and intuitive place! It was unknown what kind of influence it was. Perhaps it was a telepathic effect. In short, the moment the horse passed by the door of Four Seasons Fragrance Carriage Shop, Tong Xiaowei, who was riding on the horse, suddenly inadvertently glanced at it. This glance accurately found Jiang Yuntian's eyes. The two pairs of eyes had already touched in an instant.
Tong Xiaowei's horse had already galloped far away, but she suddenly pulled the reins in her hand. The horse beneath her let out a long cry and stood up, its front hooves making a circle.
Taking advantage of the short opportunity when the horse stood up, Tong Xiaowei had already used her keen eyes, which had been trained in martial arts for many years, to clearly see Jiang Yuntian, who was standing at the entrance of Four Seasons Fragrance's carriage shop.
The moment Tong Xiaowei reined in her horse and looked back, Jiang Yuntian was secretly startled. Before he could understand, he saw that Tong Xiaowei had already spurred her horse forward again and quickly caught up with her brother. The two of them rode side by side and quickly ran away.
Even though that glance was so hurried and fast, that moment of surprise allowed Jiang Yuntian to understand what she wanted to say through her pair of big, watery eyes.
Jiang Yuntian seemed to see her beautiful smile hidden under her veil. That smile seemed to be saying,"Eh, you're here too?”Or,"Jiang, I saw you!"”There is a poem saying: At this time silence is better than sound. This poem was the best description of the two of them exchanging glances just now.
Jiang Yuntian's handsome face turned red for no reason. He subconsciously felt a little panic in his heart. He hurriedly turned his body around and did not dare to look in Tong Xiaowei's direction anymore. He waited until he could no longer hear the sound of hooves before he slowly turned around again. The people speeding past in front of him had completely disappeared.
He was now completely certain that the golden ship he saw at the river crossing and the golden carriage were definitely on the same route. In fact, the leader of the underworld surnamed Tong in the golden carriage was undoubtedly the real owner of the golden ship.
What did it mean for this large group of people to return to the ship in a hurry? Did it mean that the mission had been completed?
If that was the case, then what was their mission? He suddenly remembered what he had heard the four men talking about at dinner and could not help but be shocked.
After the shock, he suddenly felt that instead of blindly rushing to the Moon Bridge, he might as well try to sneak into the golden ship first. Perhaps he could get more useful information by eavesdropping on the conversations of the people on the ship.
This was because the former method was purely groundless and aimless, while the latter was different because it was more practical and direct. Through the latter method, they could immediately find out the details of the old man surnamed Mu's encounter and specific whereabouts.
At this moment, the shop assistant had already brought Jiang Yuntian's beloved horse, Dark Stallion, to him.
Jiang Yuntian glanced at his beloved horse and waved his hand at the shop assistant."There's no need. Please take it back to the stable!”When the shop assistant heard Jiang Yuntian's words and looked at him, he was instantly dumbfounded. He was so angry that he rolled his big white eyes.
At this moment, hurried footsteps suddenly came from behind him. Jiang Yuntian turned around and saw the four men who had been talking loudly in the restaurant earlier. They were running out in a hurry. They strode to the front of the four horses outside the door and mounted them in a panic. They followed the direction of the large group of people in front of them and ran quickly.
The waiter grumbled and complained about Jiang Yuntian's fickleness. He led the Dark Stallion back to the stable in the backyard with an unhappy expression. Jiang Yuntian laughed dryly in embarrassment, but he was speechless at the waiter's complaint.
The onlookers had already dispersed, but Jiang Yuntian still stood alone in front of the door because he still had to wait to see someone-Fifth Master Chou! He had heard this person's name from the conversation of the four people just now. Moreover, he guessed that Chou Wu Ye was very likely the skinny, long-armed elder who was dressed in blue and looked like an ape.
What was the specific identity of this person? He didn't know at the moment, but he guessed that the blue-clothed old man must be a very important figure in the gang. He only needed to recall his high and mighty appearance when he got off the boat and the respectful attitude of the yellow-clothed man to him.
According to Jiang Yuntian's speculation, when Fifth Master Chou left the ship, he must have had a very important mission. Moreover, it was very likely that it was related to the leader of the Tong Gang in the golden carriage. In addition, it was also very likely that it was related to the old man surnamed Mu whose corpse had disappeared and whose life and death were unknown.
From the looks of it, everyone in the main group had returned, including the young gang leader Zhong Wu and the young miss Xiao Wei. He had seen them all, but he had not seen the shadow of this fifth master Chou. What did this mean?
He stood alone at the door of the Four Seasons Fragrance Horse and Carriage Shop for a long time, but he did not get the result he wanted. He thought about many things again until it was late at night. He gave up the thought of waiting for Qiu Wuye to pass by and quietly returned to his guest room. He put on his clothes and went to the kang.
He lay on the brick bed with a calm expression, but his heart was really unable to calm down. He repeatedly thought about the fact that Chou Wuye had not returned, and his heart was filled with worries.
The lone lamp in the room was slowly swaying. He opened his eyes wide and stared blankly at the swaying lamp. He was very satisfied with the capture of the Dark Stallion Horse on this desert trip, but now, a series of unexpected events had happened, making him feel quite regretful.
If he didn't know Old Man Mu at all and didn't hear about the fight between Old Man Mu and Tong Gang's leader, then it would be fine. However, this was not the case. What was even more surprising was that he had no connection with the people on both sides of the battle, but now it had become a situation where he had to interfere.
In fact, all of this was because he cared too much about the old man named Mu.
After thinking for a while, he resolutely made up his mind. Tonight, at midnight, he would take the risk to go to that golden ship and inquire about the gang leader surnamed Tong in the golden carriage. He would also see if he could find out the mystery of the old man surnamed Mu's life and death. If this problem was not solved, he would not be able to find peace for a while.
At this moment, the sound of a night watchman beating a wooden clap could be heard from the distance. He listened carefully and judged that it should be the third watch.
Jiang Yuntian got up from the kang with a whoosh and jumped to the ground. He tidied himself up very neatly and carefully dimmed the lights a lot. Then, he quietly walked out of his guest room.
As soon as he stepped out of the door, a gust of night wind blew in his face. The coolness penetrated his clothes and went straight into his bones. This bone-piercing cold wind made his sleepy mind clear up a lot. He tiptoed to the front of the courtyard wall and took a deep breath of the Qi in his Dantian. He used his Qinggong and leaped out of the inn's courtyard wall.
