Heavenly Dao Formula

"This is... the Flying Arrow message?" Li asked curiously, playing with the dagger.

"Strictly speaking, it's a flying dagger. But it's okay." Xia Fan tore up the scroll and threw it into the ditch beside the road. The running sewage quickly turned the paper into a mush.

"are you going?"

"No."

The fox demon was slightly taken aback, as if he hadn't expected him to answer like this.

"Zishi, the seaside, if it's a trap, wouldn't there be no place to run? It's also convenient for the other party to take advantage of the night to kill and throw corpses. If the other party really wants to talk about something, it's too inexperienced."

Xia Fan took out a chip used for making talismans and a small piece of charcoal pencil, and wrote on the spot, "Tonight at Xushi, Wanfulou." Then he wrapped it around the dagger.

Li on the side couldn't help asking curiously, "Wanfu Tower? Isn't that the biggest restaurant in Jinxia City?"

"That's right, this is the first choice for a meeting. How can there be someone who refuses to show their face, and asks to go to the wilderness for the first time? I didn't choose the location at the gate of the Privy Council, and I was already thinking about the other party. "

To be honest, it is absolutely a lie that Xia Fan has no interest in this news. The dagger thrower can not only know his whereabouts, but also directly point out that there is a problem in Gaoshan County. These two points alone are enough to show that the other party is not aimless, and there is a high probability that there is something on hand. .

But he didn't forget that the person who has the information in his hand may be the insider, or it may be the real culprit. The trick of fishing with clues is what an alphabetical organization is best at.

He is now a thorn in the side of the third department of the Privy Council, and is regarded as a close friend of the third princess by the outside world. It is always right to think more about everything.

Wanfu Building is located in the busiest section of Jinxia City. It can be said that there are no empty seats at seven o'clock, and many local gentry and wealthy businessmen often have dinner there. Even the Privy Council cannot do it in front of so many people.

Xia Fan found a willow tree with a hole along the street, and forced the dagger into the gap.

"That'll be fine?"

"Well, if the other party wants to send a message, the most important thing is to make sure we see the letter, so the messenger should have been following us secretly. Even if they miss it once, they should come back again."

"But the seat fee in the big restaurant is very expensive, what if they have no money and can't get in?" Li Tan said with his hands.

Xia Fan paused... This is really a tricky angle.

Having said that, whoever knows the details of the case in Gaoshan County might not even be able to afford this little money?

But after thinking about it, he still took out a tael of silver and stuffed it in.

...

In the evening, the Wanfu Building was brightly lit.

This wooden restaurant has three floors. The first floor is a public space, the second floor is a booth, and the top floor is a box. Moreover, there is a high-ceiling design in the center, and the upper floor can overlook the crowd below. The layout alone is unique.

The main dishes of Wanfulou are mainly seafood and fish. I heard that the store has been operating here for generations. It has been established for more than 50 years, and it is one of the best old restaurants in the city.

Xia Fan sat in a partition near the void on the second floor. The field of vision here was wide open and could cover the entrance of the first floor. If there was any unexpected situation, he could find it immediately. It was really a good choice for meeting strangers.

Of course, while waiting, he did not forget to order a table of dishes to enjoy slowly. For dishes like steamed abalone and braised sea cucumber, as long as the ingredients are fresh enough, they can be delicious enough without seasoning. At least Li had a great time eating. To make it easier to pick up vegetables, she changed her hat into a headscarf, and she basically ate abalone one at a time.

"Is it swollen...don't you eat it?" Li asked vaguely while chewing the seafood, "You guys are all terrible, but you're the only ones who are good at this."

"Let you eat first, and then you will have the strength to follow the other party."

"I'm not an idiot, how can I eat so much!" Li gave him a hard look, but the chopsticks in his hand didn't stop.

Xia Fan enjoyed it.

For him, there are basically only cooking methods of steaming and roasting. After all, it lacks a little flavor. Frying with high oil and high heat is his favorite method. Therefore, it is more interesting to watch Li eat than to eat by himself.

Suddenly, two figures walking into the lobby caught Xia Fan's attention.

They were wrapped in shabby robes, and they didn't look like people who could afford a restaurant. It may not be very eye-catching outside, but in the restaurant with bright lights, this attire looks very abrupt. Almost immediately, Xiao Er stepped forward to stop the two of them, probably questioning how they passed the level of reception.

One of them raised his head and met Xia Fan's gaze.

He didn't look away, but just stared at it.

Xia Fan realized instantly that this was not the first time this person had seen him—he undoubtedly knew him!

"The messenger is here."

He said something in a low voice, then snapped his fingers, and summoned the servants beside him, "Did you see those two people below?"

"I see, guest officer, do you want to drive them out?"

"No, those are my guests, go and bring them up."

The servant's expression changed immediately, the people who came here to dine were more or less well-connected, even if it was a businessman, they were not something they could provoke. It is absolutely taboo for the store to drive away the guests of the guests. He hastily bowed and said, "Forgive me for being blind! I'll go now!"

After a while, the two were brought into the compartment.

"Sit down." Xia Fan made a gesture of invitation, "Let's talk while we eat if we have anything to do."

Then he heard a series of grunts.

Wait, these two guys... Could it be that they came here on an empty stomach? Xia Fan was a little stunned for a moment, he talked about the truth about Gaoshan County, but he even had to plan for a dinner, which reminded him of his college days, when no matter who said to treat guests, everyone would eat less on purpose, Just to empty the stomach and have a good meal. Could it be that he was still caught, and the other party's purpose was just a dinner?

"My lord, please forgive me. The situation...is a little special." Probably the other party also realized that this was too weird, and explained with a slightly embarrassed expression.

"It's okay." Xia Fan simply relaxed, "I can wait for you to eat something first."

With such misery, it is absolutely impossible to be the culprit behind the evil incident. It even aroused his curiosity in reverse, what kind of person would be exposed to this information, and could be so downcast that he couldn't get enough to eat.

Although both of them were wrapped in dirty robes and their faces were covered by hoods, he could tell that they were a man and a woman, and they were not very old. Among them, the status of women may be higher, because men will subconsciously look at women before saying anything.

From this point of view, the person responsible for delivering the letter and following him should be this person.

"That robe...can't you take it off?" Xia Fan pretended to be dissatisfied.

The man hesitated, "Sorry, we can't show our appearance for the time being, at least not here. Once people find our whereabouts, assassins will follow one after another."

"That's not a sign of sincerity."

"My lord—" he was stopped by the woman just halfway through his words.

"He's right. If you don't even want to show your true face, how can you talk about trust and cooperation." After she finished speaking, she unbuttoned the clothes on her chest little by little, took off the hood, opened the robe, and revealed Red and white robes underneath.

"I am the princess of Yamaguchi, the 144th generation great witch, Wuyueyao." The woman panted softly, "I came here with a century-old covenant, and I want to meet Princess Guangping of your country, can I Would you please recommend me?"
