Chapter 732: Bu Yi Alley Again

~7 min read 1,269 words

Stop!

Chen Wuji again stopped Lu Wanwan, saying, "Although I really agree with you changing the dance a bit, but today I don't have the mood to watch dance. Tell me about your gains from this half night—where are the assassins?"

They still wanted to deceive their way through, using a dance to get rid of him.

But it wasn't that easy.

Of course, it's not that Chen Wuji doesn't want to watch; he's still very interested in a more explicit dance.

But today isn't the time.

Recently the situation is complex; any moment something unexpected could happen.

He really didn't want to, over a dance, toss and turn for another half night, making himself spend more, causing him to lack energy tomorrow to do other things.

Lu Wanwan shrank her neck, looking furtively at Qin Zhanhong.

Qin Zhanhong was also helpless, only able to say weakly: "We didn't catch them; those assassins seem to have suddenly calmed down."

"Then you guys also calm down a bit." Chen Wuji shouted.

"Those experts outside are running around like they don't need money, and you didn't even say hello, just ran outside to stake out the assassins—how confident are you in your own strength?"

Qin Zhanhong and Lu Wanwan stood there with their heads down, honestly receiving the scolding.

Until Chen Wuji finished speaking, Qin Zhanhong then weakly said: "Husband, actually we were also fairly careful, we didn't stray far from the main camp. We've considered this too—if we encounter someone we can't beat, we can still run away."

Chen Wuji let out a light snort: "With you like this, I think spy work isn't really suitable for you."

"Ah, don't, don't, don't." Qin Zhanhong quickly covered Chen Wuji's mouth with her hand.

"Husband, this is just an accident; we've been bored out of our minds in the army, it won't happen again, I promise."

"I painstakingly set up the Spy Investigation Office with great effort; husband, do you really have the heart to let others pluck the peach? Moreover, can you rest assured leaving this to others?"

Chen Wuji pushed away Qin Zhanhong's hand: "What do I have to be uneasy about?"

"Well... in short, don't!" Qin Zhanhong directly used the Killing Hand, acting coquettishly.

Pouting, she rubbed her body all over Chen Wuji, her voice so sweet it would make any sugar on the market today go crisp.

"Husband, oh dear, we really have learned our lesson; we won't do it again!"

Chen Wuji's face full of helplessness, he let out a light sigh and said: "On the battlefield, the situation changes in an instant; don't take anything for granted, nor dismiss it lightly. Today I'll let it slide, but if you dare do it again, just see how I'll deal with you."

"Yes yes yes!"

Qin Zhanhong and Lu Wanwan instantly broke into happy smiles.

"Husband, I will attend to your changing; we can go to bed." Qin Zhanhong said coquettishly, her eyes alluring like rippling water.

Chen Wuji grunted: "Don't think about anything else, just sleep honestly; these few days we mustn't be careless."

"Ah... just sleep?" Qin Zhanhong's mouth twitched.

"I still want to give you a good performance, husband; Wanwan also really wants to perform that dance for you—it's truly wonderful. Husband, how about we just do it simply?"

Chen Wuji asked: "How can this be done simply?"

"Just watch the dance, then let me attend to you properly, then a couple of playful moves and it's over." Qin Zhanhong pressed her two proud soft mounds against Chen Wuji's shoulders, shaking his arm as she coquettishly pleaded.

Chen Wuji was moved by her words: "Then come on, come on."

"Wanwan, get ready quickly!" Qin Zhanhong instantly excited: "Husband, your mood isn't good today; we need to attend to you well."

Chen Wuji laughed helplessly and shook his head.

At that moment, a voice from outside the tent suddenly sounded: Chen Li's voice: "Family Head, Lord Kong requests an audience."

Chen Wuji gave Qin Zhanhong and Lu Wanwan a look, signaling them to go to the back first, then let Kong Jianshi enter.

Shortly after, Kong Jianshi walked in reeking of blood, still holding two heads in his hand.

"Young Master, just now we encountered a group of assassins and dug up some information."

Chen Wuji immediately perked up: "But have you figured out where the assassins came from?"

"Yes." Kong Jianshi slightly lifted the head he was holding.

"These days they've been most active, dressed in disarray, but all have poison hidden in their mouths; the assassins come from Bu Yi Alley. I hid in their hiding place, unintentionally overheard their talk, thus confirming their identity—unfortunately I still couldn't leave a living mouth."

"These people's scalps all have tattoos representing different identities; please take a look, Young Master."

Chen Wuji picked up the oil lamp, rose and walked closer.

Kong Jianshi pushed aside the hair on those two heads, revealing the tattoos at the back of the skull.

One had the Li symbol tattooed at the back of the head, the other had the Nong Symbol Symbol Symbol Symbol symbol.

"What does this mean?" Chen Wuji asked.

Kong Jianshi shook his head: "I don't really know; I just happened to see their two groups meet, using the back-of-head tattoos to verify identity, and that's how I noticed this. These tattoos are overly concealed; if not for happening to see this scene, it would be hard to discover."

"I'm just guessing; these tattoos might represent different identities."

Chen Wuji nodded: "That makes some sense, but it's more like their internal factions."

"These two people's tattoos, one deep one shallow, show no signs of covering up or alteration; it's clear they got this tattoo after joining Bu Yi Alley, proof of their internal faction identity."

"But what could the Li and Nong Symbol Symbol Symbol Symbol characters represent?"

Kong Jianshi shook his head: "We know too little about Bu Yi Alley."

"Lou Li also has no related intelligence?" Chen Wuji asked.

"There is some, but not much!" Kong Jianshi felt a bit ashamed: "We've always regarded them as a jianghu force that makes a living by selling information, and haven't paid much attention to it."

Chen Wuji said solemnly: "Now we should pay more attention; this force is obviously far more complex than we imagined, they're not just information dealers, they also nurture many jianghu people."

"Yes!" Kong Jianshi replied: "I'll later send a letter back to Lou Li, having them thoroughly investigate Bu Yi Alley to clarify the forces and manpower behind it."

Chen Wuji grunted, his eyes showing thought.

Things began to develop in a more complex direction.

Some people also began to show their fox tails.

The mysterious Bu Yi Alley, together with the mysterious Snake Staff Old Man, plus the Qiang people and Yu Ren.

It's now quite obvious that someone is treating Nan Jun, and even the entire Lingnan Six Commanderies, as a chessboard, employing highly sophisticated means, with almost everything placed in the dark.

"Young Master, I humbly take my leave," Kong Jianshi said, holding a head trophy in his hand, replacing the bow with a nod.

Chen Wuji came to his senses and instructed, "Old Kong, get more rest; even if the powers of the Rivers and Lakes had immense abilities, they could hardly reach me while I'm in the army, so there's no need to be overly anxious."

"Here!" Kong Jianshi twitched the corner of his mouth.

He is not only poor with words, he can hardly smile, and when he does, the corner of his mouth stiffens badly.
