Luo Wei and Yin Xiu leaned against a corner of the city wall, relatively speechless.
The two of them didn't have the habit of smoking, so they just stood there, not knowing how to pass the time.
"So, Count Nicholas wants us to go to Berlin, find his daughter, and let her inherit the family title?" Luo Wei asked Yin Xiu again.
"That's exactly what he said."
Yin Xiu nodded, "You heard it right."
"Of course I know I heard it right, but I'm just afraid that he said it wrong."
Luo Wei was confused. With so many people present, what did it mean that Count Nicholas wanted to pass the title to his daughter who was not present?
And his illness is not something that happens in a day or two. If there is such a plan, shouldn't the core members of the family be called back from all directions?
But he is already terminally ill, and there is a daughter who has not returned from Berlin?
"He's not wrong either."
Yin Xiu put his hands in his pockets, "Although he is going to die, his mind is still clear. He is not wrong. He just wants us to go to Berlin to find his daughter."
"That's the condition, right?"
Luo Wei scratched his face, "As long as the woman named Laura Fana returns to Dunling to inherit the title, the Nicholas family will not fall to the side of the Red Emperor. Is that what he promised?"
< br>
"That's not all."
Yin Xiu smiled and said: "If I find Laura Fana, the Nicholas family will help us deal with the Red Emperor."
"Huh? I thought it would be enough for just the two of us. We just haven't found the whereabouts of the Red Emperor yet."
"Do you think we two are in trouble?"
Yin Xiu glanced at him and said, "Those who come out to fool around are all good guys. There are only two of us. How many people does the Red Emperor have? You might as well let me fight the Red Emperor alone."
"I would rather he do this, but he may not be so magnanimous."
Luo Wei sighed and said: "After all, that bastard is hiding and very mysterious."
"That's why we need you, Sherlock Holmes from West Kowloon, to find his traces."
Yin Xiu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Yongtan, I have confidence in you."
"You have said so, is it possible that I can still refuse you?" Luo Wei said with a smile.
While the two talked, Joseph walked up the city wall in silence.
At this time, Yin Xiu caught a glimpse of the hustle and bustle in the castle beneath their feet, and the women had covered their faces with black gauze.
"Count Nicholas has passed away." Joseph looked heavy.
"My condolences."
Yin Xiu responded and had nothing to say.
Because he and Luo Wei really have nothing to do with the entire Nicholas family, so they don't know what to say.
He didn't speak, but Joseph said: "The carriage to Berlin has been prepared for you two. Are you leaving now?"
"So fast?"
Luo Wei was a little surprised, but what surprised him was not the speed of preparing the carriage and horses, but Joseph's attitude.
Joseph was also one of the many children of Count Nicholas. He had heard before that Count Nicholas had as many as eleven children.
With most everyone dead, Joseph should have been a strong contender for succession.
However, the count passed the position of blood leader to Laura Fanna, who was not present at all, with just one sentence. Even Luo Wei, an outsider, could not help but feel strange.
"Now is not the time to think about unimportant things."
Joseph still looked calm, "The Nicholas family is almost disappearing. Who will inherit the position of earl now? What does it matter?"
"You mean, you actually have no intention of giving up?" Yin Xiu asked him.
"Of course."
Joseph glanced at him, "But this is something that will happen later. The most important thing right now is to bring Laura Fana, my sister, back. We need her to inherit the position of earl."
"If you do this, it will save everyone trouble."
Yin Xiu smiled and said: "Where is the carriage?"
"Just behind that door."
Joseph pointed in a direction, "It's a very secret location that won't be known to others."
"Secret?"
Yin Xiu shook his head, "Generally speaking, when a person talks about secret, no matter the thing or the place, it will no longer have anything to do with the word."
"You mean, someone has already discovered it?"
"Maybe they are targeting us, but it doesn't matter."
Yin Xiu and Luo Wei walked down the steps, "Because this is something that will definitely happen. The difference is just a little later or a little earlier, that's all."
Joseph thought about the meaning of Yin Xiu's words. When he looked up again, they had passed through the door and were walking behind it.
For him, this was really the longest night in his life of hundreds of years, because he had experienced too many things and met two strange oriental people.
However, for Yin Xiu, this night has not yet passed.
The coachman got out of the car, greeted Yin Xiu and Luo Wei, and said respectfully to them: "Two gentlemen, let's go to Berlin now, okay?"
"The sooner the better," Yin Xiu nodded, "I hope we will be in Berlin at dawn."
"Sir, it's not that fast, but if everything goes well, we can have breakfast on the steamer in the morning."
"Do you also have breakfast?" Luo Wei suddenly asked.
"Well..."
The coachman suddenly paused, and after a long time he said awkwardly: "I eat one meal every three days, and occasionally some small desserts, such as jelly, pudding, etc. once a week."
"It's probably the same as when we eat Maoxuewang, pig blood cakes, etc." Luo Wei explained in a low voice.
"If you say that, I won't be willing to eat these things in the future." Yin Xiu shook her head.
The groom obviously didn't know what Rowe was talking about, but he still found it interesting. For him, these two visitors from the Far East were the most interesting guests he had seen in a hundred years.
As soon as he raised his whip, the two camels started running and pulling the carriage.
"By the way, gentlemen, there is a bottle of gin under the cushions on the right hand side. If you want to have a good dream, it should be able to help you."
"Is there such a good thing as passing an umbrella when it rains?"
Just when Yin Xiu was about to bend down to get it, he suddenly remembered something and said alertly: "You didn't add anything to it, did you? Like jelly or pudding?"
"Only gin, sir."
The groom responded: "Authentic Dunling dry gin, nothing else."
"Then I'll feel relieved."
Despite what he said, when Yin Xiu took out the bottle of clear gin from under the seat, he still looked at it to make sure that the groom really didn't add anything to it.
"When you are so nervous, is it okay to drink?" Luo Wei asked.
Yin Xiu took out two cups from nowhere, "When you are so nervous, you should have a drink to celebrate first."
"Celebrate what?"
"Of course it's to celebrate that we are about to find the Red Emperor."
Yin Xiu poured two glasses of wine, drank the contents of his glass in one gulp, and exhaled a white breath.
"The smell of grass rolling in horse manure."
Yin Xiu stuck out her tongue.
Luo Wei took a sip and frowned. "What to do?"
"What should I do?"
Seemingly addicted, Luo Wei took another bite and his face became even more ugly.
"I mean, those people who have been following us are like flies. Why don't you take care of them first?"
"Let them be."
Yin Xiu glanced outside through the gap in the car window.
The night was gloomy, and on both sides were woods that kept receding as far as the eye could see. In winter, all the leaves on the trees had fallen off, making these trees look like corpses with teeth and claws hanging out.
Among these intertwined and complicated branches, something was flying and jumping, following Yin Xiu's carriage from a distance, traveling at high speed while trying to hide its figure.
"Yin Xiu, is this also part of your plan?"
Luo Wei thoughtfully said, "Because you said that there is no need to act in secret, because no matter how secretive you are, you will eventually be discovered, so in fact this is also part of your plan, because you have already calculated it."
[If it was really part of my plan, I would have already stepped on the Red Emperor’s face with my boot. 】
Yin Xiu smiled, "After all, I can count in Ziwei Dou, so what can't be counted?"
"It seems so."
Luo Wei believed it to be true and drank all the wine in the glass in one gulp, then his facial features became tangled together.
"This wine is as if someone had left pine branches in a paint bucket and soaked it for a month. After just one sip, I felt like my throat was going to rot."
"Then you have understood this wine."
Yin Xiu raised the wine bottle in his hand and asked, "More?"
"Not too much."
Luo Wei handed over the cup.
……
"I feel like there are green ants floating here. Drinking it will really kill you."
Liu Banxian frowned and showed the wine in the glass to Ren Qi.
Ren Qi ignored him and drank all the wine in his hand. Then he asked: "By the way, we have been waiting in the town for three days, and the peach blossoms are about to bloom. What about the person you are waiting for?" Not coming yet? ”
After a pause, he said again: "Could he be dead?"
"Bah!"
Liu Banxian spat, "He is not dead even if you die. How could the most famous monk in southern Xinjiang die so easily?"
"Great monk? Then I definitely don't know him"
Ren Qi shook his head, continued drinking, and threw another peanut into his mouth, "This wine must be drunk hot. Drinking cold wine is like a mouse dying in the soil for a week."
"Then you won't let the waiter do it for you?"
Liu Banxian stared at the floating objects in the wine and didn't know whether to drink it or not.
"Because cold wine wakes you up, and hot wine makes you sleepy."
Ren Qi looked around with cold eyes, "This time, there are only two of us. If someone makes a mistake, only the other person can help him find out. If both of them make a mistake, we will die without a burial place."< br>
"If I hadn't known that the imperial court sent people to hunt me down, I would have still thought of staying on Hong Kong Island, or going to Malaysia with Brother Yin, just as a vacation."
"Holiday?"
Ren Qi glanced at him and said, "We don't have that kind of leisure right now. If you don't do it, the court will do it."
"Then they didn't do it before? But they waited until we came and captured the Qing Emperor's son before they took action?" Liu Banxian was puzzled.
"Because the imperial court is a cheap person and cannot be moved until it is broken."
Ren Qi said coldly: "You don't need to whip it to hurt it. These princes and ministers will always be immersed in sweet dreams and cannot wake up.
But if you really wake it up, the power and speed of action of the imperial court will surprise and scare everyone. ”
"I also know this, that's why I came here in a hurry, isn't it?"
"Really?"
Ren Qi glanced at him and felt that even Liu Banxian himself would not believe this statement.
"No matter what, what should we do if we really find the Black Emperor?"
"Two ways."
Liu Banxian stretched out two fingers, "Let's write a letter and ask Brother Yin to come here, and he will subdue the Black Emperor.
Or, we tie up Black Emperor's driver and take him back to Hong Kong Island. ”
"Neither of which is safe."
Ren Qi denied him, "When you write a letter to Malaysia, let's not say whether the ship will encounter heavy wind and rain. It won't arrive for a month. Even if it is really delivered, wait until Yin Xiu arrives in Malaysia. Come here, summer is almost here, how can we come in time?
Even if you tie him up and take him back to Hong Kong Island, how many hemp ropes can tie up someone who can become the driver of the Dragon Emperor? ”
"How about changing to iron chains?" Liu Banxian was also thinking seriously.
"Don't bother."
Ren Qi sneered, "Don't I have a sword? When I catch the Black Emperor's driver, cut off his hands and feet, put a tube in his mouth and drink some soup every day to ensure that he still has one breath left." ?”
Liu Banxian subconsciously touched his arm and said in horror: "Fortunately, I don't have anything like the Green Emperor or the Black Emperor on me, otherwise I would be worse off than dead if I fell into your hands."
Ren Qi's suggestion just now seemed to be really not a joke, but something he had seriously considered.
Just when Liu Banxian was about to say something else, a young monk came in and approached the counter.
"Master, we don't have vegetarian food here, please go elsewhere!" the shopkeeper cried bitterly.
"I'm not here to beg for alms."
Although there were many dishes on the table, the young monk still maintained his posture, neither humble nor overbearing.
"Is there a donor named Andy Liu living here?"
"How did I know this? What a weird name? Are you an opera singer?"
The shopkeeper flipped through the book, then raised his head and shouted: "Liu Andy, Liu Andy, are you there? Someone is looking for you!"
"Here!"
Liu Banxian raised his hand, "I am Liu Andy!"
"When did you call me such a name?" Ren Qi asked curiously.
"Stage name, stage name."
Liu Banxian grinned, "When you go out to hang out these days, you have to have an alias to protect yourself."
When the monk saw Liu Banxian raising his hands, he ran over in a few steps, saluted his hands and said, "Are you the donor Liu?"
"It's me. It's true."
Liu Banxian said happily: "Master, are you a disciple of Monk Lokong?"
"That's right."
The monk's eyes shone, obviously he was a little happy because he had completed the task.
"My master has been waiting for you at the Thousand Buddhas Temple in Toe for a long time." (End of Chapter)
