A red apricot climbs the wall

Chapter 26 First Look

Just as Su Siman was puzzled, Huangfu Chong, who was in white, appeared at the door lightly.

"Brother Chong, it's really you! Why did you come here? Su Siman was overjoyed and got up to meet him.

Huangfu Chong smiled at her and didn't answer. At a glance, he caught a glimpse of Yuan Si Niang sitting at the table slowly tasting tea. His handsome face couldn't help but feel cold, and then turned his concerned eyes on Su Siman: "Xiaoman, did she hurt you?" As he spoke, he glanced at Yuan Si Niang with some hostility.

"No, I'm fine. Have you recovered from your injury?"

"Well, it's a minor injury, but I can't help it." Huangfu Chong stroked the arm that was hit by the hidden weapon last time and signaled that it was okay. When talking to Su Siman, the situation in the room had fallen into his eyes. When he saw the tourmaline, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"This is my girl tourmaline." Su Siman waved to the tourmaline and introduced, "Bixi, this is the young master of Baiyaotang, Mr. Huangfu."

"I've met Mr. Huangfu." Bixi bent his knees and saluted respectfully.

Huang Fu Chong also said a few polite words.

After a greeting, Su Siman asked about what he was concerned about: "Brother Chong, can you see Brother Gao?"

Huang Fu Chong nodded and frowned slightly.

"I heard that he just came back yesterday. Xiaoqiang didn't go back to Yancheng with him. Do you know what happened?"

"That's true. Xiaoqiang is still detained in the Flying Eagle Hall. Huangfu Chong frowned deeper, his face was faintly anxious, and he sighed almost inaudiblely.

"How can Xiaoqiang be detained by the people of Flying Eagle Hall?" Su Siman opened the pair of autumn water and cut their pupils in surprise.

It turned out that not long after Gao Yunqing left Pingyan City with Ding Xiaoqiang, he was intercepted by a group of people in black with unknown martial arts on his way back to Yancheng. There are many people in black. If Gao Yunqing is alone and there is no need to worry about Xiaoqiang's words, he will definitely escape with his outstanding light skills. It's hateful. They took Xiaoqiang as a hostage. Gao Yunqing fell into the trap of the other party when rescuing him. He was seriously injured and was forced to take the bone dispersal powder, and he couldn't use his martial arts. After that, both the master and apprentice were imprisoned in the water cell. I don't know how many days passed by, Gao Yunqing was finally taken out of the water prison. When he came out, his legs were so weak that he couldn't even walk. He was dragged out. It is said that an important person wanted to see him.

When Huangfu Chong said this, he paused, frowned, his face was black, and his face was indignant.

"Who is that important person?" Su Siman couldn't wait to ask.

"Zhong Yeli."

These three words, the words are sonorous and loud, and the other three people in the room are stunned. Su Siman is surprised, Yuan Si Niang is surprised, and Bixi is curious.

Yuan Si Niang stood up excitedly: "Where is he?" The eager care in the language is not difficult to specul.

Huang Fu Chong's eyebrows were deeper, and he could almost kill two dozen mosquitoes and turn his head in disgust. I don't know whether his disgust is against Zhong Yeli or Yuan Si Niang.

"How can it be Zhong Yeli?" Su Siman asked the first question casually after a few seconds of stunned.

"I'm not surprised that this scum appeared on that occasion." Huangfu Chong sneered and shook his sleeves disdainfully.

"Where the hell is he? Huangfu Chong, don't talk nonsense. Yuan Si Niang knocked hard on the floor with a snake-driving stick, making a sound, and the floor under her feet shook very hard.

Huangfu Chong did not move, his face did not change, and he still looked disdainful.

"Yes, I'm also a little curious about where Zhong Yeli is?" Su Siman saw that Yuan Si Niang's face was not good, and if Huangfu Chong ignored it, he was afraid that he would have to hand it again. Although Huangfu's martial arts skills are high, he is not the opponent of Yuan Si Niang. In order to avoid the situation she is worried about, it is better to help Yuan Siniang ask about Zhong Yeli's whereabouts. As long as Yuan Siniang learns his whereabouts, she will definitely leave here immediately.

"Why, Xiaoman, do you know him?" Huang Fu Chong looked extremely surprised and raised his handsome eyebrows extremely high.

Su Siman didn't know how to answer for a moment. He smiled and coughed dryly. Finally, he honestly admitted: "I know, he... helped me before."

She lowered her head with some embarrassment. Naturally, her answer was the truth. Zhong Yeli took her out of the palace that time and helped her once, although the final result was still unsatisfactory. However, looking at the situation, Huang Fu Chong obviously has a deep understanding of Zhong Yeli. Thinking that these two are brothers, Su Siman is really unacceptable in his heart. The gap between the two brothers seems to be too big. To be honest, it is obvious that he will somewhat hurt Huangfu's feelings by admitting his acquaintance at this time and saying that he has accepted his feelings, but there is really no way. What she thinks about the most is that he doesn't want to fight with Si Niang, so that he won't suffer losses.

Huangfu Chong pulled the corners of his mouth and showed a complicated smile: "He is now in Luzhou. Xiaoqiang was also taken hostage by him.

"Are you sure it's in Luzhou? Didn't you talk nonsense?"

Huangfu Chong snorted coldly and did not answer.

Yuan Si Niang narrowed her eyes slightly, and her sharp eyes swept over Huang Fu Chong's handsome face like a sharp knife, as if she wanted to find a clue to verify the authenticity of this sentence from his face. Huangfu Chong's face did not change, and his face was still covered with frost, and there was no guilty attitude. She withdrew her eyes, grabbed the cup and took a sip of tea, and threw the teacup. The gray shadow flashed and quickly disappeared from the door like a gust of wind.

Bixi's face was wrong, and he stared at the door for a long time and couldn't take it back. He unconsciously stepped to the door and kept looking at Yuan Si Niang. After a long time, he came to his senses and muttered to himself, "What a fast body!"

"What did this evil woman do so tightly to Zhong Yeli?" Huangfu Chong's face was full of doubts.

"Well, Zhong Yeli is her son."

Huangfu Chong was silent, and his eyes also looked at the direction of Yuan Si Niang's disappearance. His complex look was also a little pale, and his hard-won eyebrows frowned together.

The three people in the room had their own thoughts and were silent for a moment.

After a while, Su Siman finally couldn't help it. He considered his tone, approached Huangfu Chong a little more, and asked carefully, "Brother Chong, what is the purpose of Zhong Yeli intercepting Brother Gao and locked him up?"

Huang Fu Chong looked at the tourmaline and didn't say anything.

Bixi is so smart that without waiting for Su Siman to speak, he immediately put his hand on his lower abdomen and looked painful: "Oh, miss, I'll go out for a convenience."

"What else can there be for? Naturally, I want Brother Yunqing to order his subordinates to release the people of the Flying Eagle Hall, and then use the collected three boxes of tribute silver to redeem people." Huangfu Chongmo's black eyes faintly flashed with anger, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

"He...does he have anything to do with the money theft case?" Su Siman was shocked.

Huang Fu Chong paced the room with his hands behind his back: "It doesn't matter. I met him by chance when I passed near Tuocheng a few years ago. At that time, I couldn't help following him when I saw his suspicious behavior. It turned out that he went to survey the terrain and walked for about half an hour to arrive, but he found that there was a flowing river with a bamboo bridge. A group of heroes have gathered in the center of Zhuqiao, several of whom are masters of the Lingyun Gang. Considering that their martial arts skills are not weak, I have always kept a distance from him, a little far away. Coupled with the sound of running water, I couldn't hear what they had planned at all at that time.

"Just on the third day after this, I heard that the officers and soldiers transporting gold and silver mysteriously disappeared near Tuocheng. The bridge on the river was broken from one end, and the money and silver disappeared. Previously, the local officer thought that the bamboo bridge could not bear the weight and broke it, and the officers and soldiers and gold and silver may have fallen into the river. But after some salvage, nothing was found. After that, it was found that there were traces of cutting knives and axes at the fracture of the bamboo bridge, which led to the speculation of the attack of officers and soldiers. In addition, from time to time, villagers living in the lower reaches of the river found corpses disguised as people and wearing uniforms inside, which made this inference more authentic. I didn't plan to stay in Tuocheng for a long time, but after this happened, I thought that it was very likely that Zhong Yeli's group of people did it. Because I had never heard of Liang's practice of paying tribute at the end of the year before, I didn't understand it until I heard people talk about it after it happened.

"It is said that the transportation of tribute silver has always been very secret, and the route is not known to outsiders. Zhong Yeli was able to accurately determine their route as early as a few days ago, which is indeed amazing." Huangfu Chong had a sneer on his lips, and finally this sentence seemed to be ironic.

However, Su Siman was interested and interrupted with light eyes, "Brother Chong, you won't ignore it, will you? Why did you come to Pingyan City again? Are you still in the government office? Ah, I know. Did you find that they fled to Pingyan City and colluded with Lord Huang?

Huang Fu Chong stopped and looked at Su Siman with admiration. His tense face stretched a little, and his eyebrows smiled: "Yes, that's right."

"No wonder you would help Xiaoqiang at that time. I vaguely guessed earlier that you must know that I and Xiaoqiang are innocent scapegoats. In this way, are you also in Pingyan City to secretly investigate the gold theft case?

Huangfu Chong nodded without denying it.

"Can I ask if you have nothing to do with Brother Chong? Is it purely chivalrous and righteous or for some other reason?"

"Uh..." Huang Fu Chong muttered, showed a struggling face, and replied in a low voice for a long time, "I'm ashamed, but it's not completely out of morality, and I'm also a little selfish."

"It's normal to be selfish. Who doesn't have a little selfishness, hehe. Brother Chong, tell me quickly what you are thinking. Don't be embarrassed. Su Siman pulled his sleeve with a smile and looked at him with bright eyes. There was no formal shape at all.

Unexpectedly, Huang Fu Chong's white face turned faintly red, showing his beautiful man with red lips, white teeth and clear eyebrows. Obviously, he felt that the selfishness was inconvenient to talk about, which was inconsistent with his temperament in front of people and was not very glorious.

Su Siman looked at him with interest for a long time, but he didn't say anything. She realized that she was asking inappropriately. She hurriedly pulled her neck and looked at the door and began to talk about the topic again: "It's been here for more than half a day. Why hasn't Brother Gao yet? By the way, how did Brother Gao come back? Is it okay for him to show up?"

"My legs and feet are not sharp, and my lower limbs are weak. The poison of the sparse bone has not been solved, and the power has not yet recovered. Speaking of Gao Yunqing, Huangfu Chong couldn't help but feel sad, and his voice was a little more obscure. "How can I come back? No matter how good my skills are, I can't use them. Only those who are redeemed by the hostages and tribute silver of the Flying Eagle Hall."

"Yes, the people of Feiyingtang participated in the gold theft case, but how could they be arrested by the people of Lingyun Gang?" Su Siman's mind is full of doubts.

"Those tribute gold and silver were divided into many parts for transportation. In the process of transferring Gongyin, the people of Feiying Hall pretended to be the name of Lingyun Gang and were recognized by the people of Lingyun Gang, so they arrested these people and confiscated Gongyin by the way."

"Oh - the people of the Flying Eagle Hall are really shameless..." Su Siman sighed suddenly.
