Chapter nine hundred and fourteen: the corner of the heart
Upon hearing this, Huang Yuchen frowned and looked at the owner of the restaurant. He expected that this person would definitely come, but he didn't know what the inside story was.
Now it seems that the owner of this restaurant must know much more than Huang Yuchen thought.
Huang Yuchen looked at the owner of the wine shop kneeling on the ground, with a calm expression on his face and asked softly: "Do you know? Who is it?"
"I am a regular guest of the restaurant, Wei Xing..." The restaurant owner lay on the ground, feeling extremely regretful. He had long been suspicious of this matter but had never told anyone, which eventually led to the delivery of the food to Huang Yuchen, causing the current situation.
"Wei Xing?" Huang Yuchen was very unfamiliar with the name, but Pang Qi, who was beside him, suddenly said: "Are you sure it's him?"
The owner of the restaurant immediately said: "I'm sure, except for the chef and waiter in the kitchen today, there is only one outsider who has been to the kitchen. Because he is familiar with me, I didn't think about it any other direction at the beginning."
"Old Pang, this Wei Xing is..." Huang Yuchen looked at Pang Qi and asked.
"Oh..." Pang Qi sighed long, looked at Huang Yuchen, and said, "This person is also from Chikang City. His ancestors all lived near Chikang City. I am familiar with him."
"This person seems to have no problems in daily life, he is gentle and elegant. After reading books for several years, he has no rustic spirit that is common among the people of Chikang City, and he is quite knowledgeable. I still want to recommend this person to adults and can be used by adults in the future, but I didn't expect..."
Pang Qi looked heartbroken and his voice was trembling, but he still told Huang Yuchen about Wei Xing's basic situation.
Since the owner of the restaurant proposed the name of this person, Huang Yuchen would definitely be asked to check it out. However, now that this matter is beginning to develop in a more complex direction, Huang Yuchen needs to think about it carefully.
"Okay, get up." Huang Yuchen glanced at the owner of the restaurant and said, "It's not your fault for this. If it were me, I wouldn't have thought that a friend who is good at having sex on weekdays would be an assassin who poisoned him. Since you can tell this person, you can completely clear your suspicion."
When the owner of the wine shop heard this, he stood up from the ground tremblingly, but he didn't dare to raise his head and straighten his waist, and kept beating.
"Take your waiter back. I don't plan to ask him anything. He shouldn't know anything." Huang Yuchen glanced at the waiter who was lying on the ground and was unconscious, then turned around and said to Pang Qi: "Old Pang, it's already deep, so please go back too."
Pang Qi stood up, looked at Huang Yuchen meaningfully, and said, "Sir, please take care of me, I..."
"Mr. Pang doesn't need to say anything, I understand everything." Huang Yuchen smiled and patted Pang Qi's back of his hand. Pang Qi didn't say anything else. The owner of the wine shop came forward to carry the unconscious waiter and saluted Huang Yuchen deeply. Then he walked out of the hall of the city lord's mansion with Pang Qi and slowly disappeared outside the gate.
Huang Yuchen sighed softly, things really began to develop in a confusing direction.
There were six people who came to assassinate Huang Yuchen today. Huang Yuchen looked at them one by one and none of them had come to the city lord's mansion with Pang Qi during the day, which means that there was at least one of their companions in Chikang City.
The owner of the restaurant said another person's name. Judging from Pang Qi's reaction, this person was definitely not from the person who came to the city lord's mansion during the day. According to this calculation, there are at least two people in Chikang City who are related to today's current situation.
And I don’t know how many other people are hiding in the dark.
These practitioners have been hiding in Chikang City for too long. Almost all those who came to Chikang City recently left after Huang Yuchen opened the city. Those who stayed behind were people who had lived in Chikang City for a long time. They had already had a close connection with Chikang City.
This made Huang Yuchen very difficult to distinguish which of these people was the enemy and which was an ordinary citizen.
Although Huang Yuchen is nominally the city lord of Chikang City, it is obvious that there are still people among the people who have different opinions. For example, Wei Xing, who was drugged by the owner of the restaurant today, must be an ordinary person and has no cultivation. He is likely to have been bewitched by others to do this.
But this also indirectly reflects that some people in Chikang City have no feelings for Huang Yuchen. Compared to Huang Yuchen's life, they may care more about the feelings of those who live around them.
Fortunately, the design captured several men in black today. I believe that Zhuang Lexian will definitely get some news from them, and the subsequent things should be easier to deal with.
After not having a good rest for a few days, Huang Yuchen felt a little tired. This feeling had not appeared on him for a long time. In fact, Huang Yuchen also understood in his heart that this was not physical fatigue, but mental pressure that made his mind unable to keep awake.
He walked into the courtyard behind the hall and entered his bedroom. The bedroom was cold, without any candlelight, and no charcoal brazier.
Huang Yuchen just lay on the bed, staring at the wooden ceiling in a daze. When he wanted to rest, he didn't feel sleepy at all.
Suddenly, Huang Yuchen's heart moved, and a very faint energy fluctuation came from his body. He immediately checked and found that the special energy given to him by Sikong Zhengyang was slowly circulating outside the yang wheel.
Huang Yuchen has been busy with other things these days and has almost forgotten this matter completely. Now he suddenly remembered that Sikong Zhengyang's meaning was clearly guiding him to the direction of Lin Yiyi's departure.
Moreover, Huang Yuchen also quickly remembered that the first village in Chihong Mountain they entered was finally rescued by the help of a cultivator, and the cultivator was a woman.
At that time, Huang Yuchen guessed whether it would be Lin Yiyi, but many things were mixed together, which made Huang Yuchen have no time to think about these things carefully.
Now he suddenly became quiet. He carefully observed the trace of energy in his body. The fluctuations of energy were pointing in a direction. The frequency of the fluctuations was not fast, but Huang Yuchen could still clearly feel the sense of direction. He immediately stood up and determined his current direction.
He noticed that the direction of the fluctuation of this energy pointed directly to the hinterland of Qitian and always pointed to the east. This energy guide clearly pointed to Lin Yiyi. Huang Yuchen's heart moved, which at least proved that Lin Yiyi was fine now and was still alive.
If Huang Yuchen had not been plagued by all these things, he might have rushed to the end of this energy fluctuation to find Lin Yiyi at the first time, but now Huang Yuchen has not left all the possibility of going alone.
"If you have the chance to see you... I don't know what to say to you." Huang Yuchen said silently in his heart, and then suppressed the slightest urge that had just emerged in his heart. Huang Yuchen had always had a very complicated emotion for Lin Yiyi.
I wanted to get close to Lin Yiyi and talk a lot to her, but I didn’t know what he should say if I really saw this person one day.
Perhaps, Lin Yiyi felt the same about Huang Yuchen. At that time, Huang Yuchen left Chihong Sect in a hurry. He didn't say anything to Lin Yiyi, but just asked her to stay in Chihong Sect and wait for Huang Yuchen to finish his work and go back to find her.
Huang Yuchen came out of Yongcheng, Chunhu, and his first stop was set at Chihong Sect. There were naturally reasons for the long-range teleportation array, but in his heart, he was also very eager to see Lin Yiyi.
However, after arriving at Chihong Sect, everything was changed. This matter was deeply hidden in Huang Yuchen and had never told anyone about it.
Fortunately, Sikong Zhengyang understood the thoughts in Lin Yiyi and Huang Yuchen, and released a magic spell on Lin Yiyi, which made Huang Yuchen vaguely feel Lin Yiyi's direction. As long as he wanted to find it, he would definitely find it.
Lin Yiyi's appearance appeared in Huang Yuchen's mind again, and the veil covered her face with a plain oar. He remembered everything that happened between them, and how Lin Yiyi cheated her money and turned herself from a distinguished guest to a coolie.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Huang Yuchen's face involuntarily. As he thought about it, his eyelids became heavier and he soon fell asleep.
No words all night.
The next day at dawn, Huang Yuchen was woken up by a knock on the door. It was better to say that it was a knock on the door than a knock on the door.
When he opened his eyes, he saw Zhuang Lexian kicking open the door of his room and leaving someone directly on the ground beside him. This behavior scared Huang Yuchen.
"What are you doing?" Huang Yuchen said angrily.
"I've asked, I think it's better to listen to it yourself. It's so interesting." Zhuang Lexian's expression on his face was very excited. He obviously didn't sleep all night and was interrogating these arrested assassins.
Huang Yuchen reached out and rubbed his face. After confirming that he was completely awake, he looked at the person lying on the ground. The person's face was full of fear and he didn't dare to raise his eyes to look at Huang Yuchen, and his body was trembling again.
"What about the other ones?" Huang Yuchen asked casually.
"I killed two and let me suck it." Zhuang Lexian seemed to be talking about a very ordinary thing, and then sat on Huang Yuchen's bed, kicked the man on the ground, and said, "Hey, don't pretend to be dead. What did you say to me just now, now hurry up."
"I...I...I..." The man was kicked by Zhuang Lexian, as if he had been pierced by some sharp weapon. His whole body was shrunk into a ball, obviously greatly frightened. God knows what methods Zhuang Lexian used on these people.
Seeing this, Huang Yuchen got up from the bed, sat on the edge of the bed, and whispered to the man in black: "What do you know? To be honest, if what you said is true, you can keep your life."
