The fourteenth year of Tianshun, the twelfth month of winter.

The Fuliu Garden in Fireworks Lane is a not very famous place, it is not a spring and snow, nor is it lowly, but it does not have any eye-catching signs, just like a third-rate one, only patronized by a few people.

Not many people know, and even the owner of Fuliuyuan may not be aware of it, that this place has long been a secret stronghold of Dongjin Palace.

Commander Cai listened to the report of the thousand households below, and his fingers lightly tapped on the table.

"My lord, what's wrong?" has been working under Cai's command all year round, and Qianhu still has this bit of eyesight. They obviously only reported some daily work and news, but they made Commander Cai think about it, there must be something wrong with this.

"I always feel a little strange, but I can't say what's strange. Commander Cai didn't show any expression on his face, thinking to himself. He has always been moody and angry, and he will not say much until he decides.

"Maybe it's too calm, it's weird. After all, in Tiandu, it seems abnormal to be too calm. A thousand households said.

Commander Cai chuckled, obviously disagreeing with the statement of this Qianhu subordinate.

"In today's court, the competition between the old and new factions is intensifying, and there is a great potential for a decisive battle, but it suddenly falls silent, and if the undercurrent below it cannot be heard, it is indeed abnormal. There are thousands of households pondering for a moment.

Commander Cai did not respond, which he had already thought of, and this was not a question for him to think about.

For a moment, the chamber was silent, save for the sound of candles burning. You are guessing the mind of your boss, and you are also reflecting on what you have missed.

Suddenly, Commander Cai stopped tapping his fingers and said, "A sword seven, is it too much of a movement?"

No matter where it is, there seems to be news of Sword Seven, especially in the two places of Yulong Street and Fangyuan City, and it is even more widely spread than the last battle of Qingyun Trial.

"Shang Chonggu's disciple, the sword seven disciple who was once defeated by Shang Chonggu's hand, it sounds a bit fatalistic. What's more, Ning Du is hot now, and this matter will inevitably attract attention. "The people of Dongjin Palace are quite sensitive to all kinds of news, and the matter of Jian Qi is also quite clear, but this matter is not worth noting.

Commander Cai shook his head and said, "That's not right. It's just a rumor, not to mention that I don't know if Jian Qi exists or not, so it shouldn't set off such a big wave. Someone must be behind this. ”

"Such a small thing may just be a few coincidences coming together. "If Tojin Palace focuses on these little things, then they can't do anything.

Commander Cai stared at a certain place, thought for a moment, and said, "Who will be behind the scenes? What is the point of doing this? Why does it always feel that something is not right, is it really that I am suspicious?"

——

Fangyuan City is still like that day and night.

Everything was chaotic, there were pianos and chimes on the tall buildings, and there were white blades stained with blood in the corners. Men are yelling, women are sobbing. The old man died in his sleep, and the baby was born in the hustle and bustle. Everyone is like a thread, intertwined in Fangyuan City into an inseparable ball of thread.

Anyone who drops any message into this thread will disappear without a trace. There don't seem to be any rules here, but they still exist, so that there is a corner for the dirty and the dark.

There is a narrow passage between the high and low buildings, where rats pass quickly, but they don't want to be bitten by a snake that has already been ambushed. The snake let the rat break free and fled, and slowly chased after the scent. The rat had been poisoned, and it couldn't escape the palm of its hand anyway.

"Where did the snake come from? The road is narrow, and it is still in the way. The fat pig said dissatisfiedly.

A big foot landed and trampled the snake to death in an instant, and it could no longer catch up with its prey.

"It's not that you're too fat, if you're like me, wouldn't you pass it calmly?" the thin monkey scoffed, his bamboo-like body that could be squeezed through even a three-inch gap.

The fat pig struggled to move its body, squeezing off the items piled up on both sides, making a crackling sound. In the end, he couldn't bear it anymore, punched a way, and said angrily: "What kind of broken place, make so many twists and turns? In my opinion, it will be clean only when it is burned by fire." ”

"Then you're burning, so much nonsense. ”

"Burn it, burn it!" the fat pig raised his fat fingers, which were almost inseparable, and slashed across the wood beside him. "I don't believe it's so narrow after burning it!"

After the fat pig and the thin monkey had walked for half an hour, the wood that the fat pig had touched with his hand suddenly burned, and the fire quickly jumped to the roof of the building, and dozens of people came to extinguish the fire to no avail, until finally the fire burned everything clean.

The fat pig struggled through the door and almost broke the door frame.

"Fat pig, this is too conspicuous!" Fei Ge couldn't help but say angrily. "We are killers, we have to be low-key, we have to be ordinary, we have to get into the crowd, and others can't find it anymore!"

"As long as I run fast. The fat pig squeezed out all his facial features with a smile.

"Fart! Last time you ran so fast, you almost got hammered to death by that stinky monk when you left Lao Tzu!" said the thin monkey angrily.

"Don't be noisy, if you can't do serious things all day, you'll be noisy, how about what you do?"

"I've inquired clearly! That one called Ning Du will come tomorrow to fight against that one called Sword Seven to Fangyuan City, and then we can capture him in one fell swoop!"

"When are you coming?Fangyuan City is so big, where is it exactly?Are you sure Ning Du will definitely come?" Fei Ge asked very quickly.

The skinny monkey was dumbfounded by this series of questions, and only stared at Fei Ge with wide eyes.

"What's the use of you, what's the use of you, what's the use of you?" Fei Ge's slap habitually fell.

The thin monkey squatted down with his head in his hands, not daring to move. I was also asking myself why I didn't think of this, and I couldn't help but admire Brother Feifei for being thoughtful.

"Brother Fei, it's okay, I didn't buy back three magic weapons with Skinny Monkey, with those three things, we can catch anyone!" Fat Pig said happily, he bought back three magic weapons with three pennies is the proudest thing in his life.

Fei Ge snorted coldly and said, "I've inquired about the usage of 'Yin Yang Bag' and 'Wild End', what about this 'foggy flower'?"

The thin monkey quickly took out a roll of yellow paper from his arms and held it up in front of Fei Ge's eyes.

Fei Ge snatched it over, studied it carefully, and after half an hour, he laughed and said: "Hahahaha, the effect of this 'fog flower' is really beyond expectations! With this magic weapon, why worry about not catching someone?!"

"Brother Fei, we don't know where Ning Du will come to Fangyuan City tomorrow, and we don't know if he will come or not, so we have to go and investigate. ”

"Just talk a lot, think a lot, think a lot, what's the use of thinking so much, wait so long, people won't all run away, just go up and do it!"

"Okay, Phineas!"

——

It wasn't supposed to be used for waste today, but Hu Ran came after dark.

"Old man, the young master asked me to come to you. ”

"It's really tiring for you. Wu Yue said with a smile.

Hu Ran put the seventy-eight Spring Breeze Swords on his back on the ground, which could be regarded as a sigh of relief. Although there are people to help along the way, just the two steps from the door to the house will be tiring enough.

"What did the young master ask me to do with these Spring Breeze Swords here?"

"Of course it works. ”

"What's the matter, it's so mysterious, don't let me know!" Hu Ran stretched his waist and looked at Mr. Wu Yue.

"Do you feel that the Spring Breeze Sword carved recently is not happy?" asked Mr. Wu Yue with a smile.

Mr. Wu Yue is very sure of Hu Ran's great progress in the vein, but he also feels that Hu Ran is too lazy, and with Hu Ran's talent, he should have made greater progress.

"Well, a little. Hu Ran himself can also perceive that the Spring Breeze Sword he carved has stayed at a stage, and although the quality has ups and downs, it has never been able to break through an upper limit.

"The Spring Breeze Sword can be faster. Mr. Wu Yue said.

"But I've carved out all the wind patterns. Didn't you say that one material and one sword are all extreme?"

"The extreme of the Spring Breeze Sword is not here. ”

Mr. Yu Tao ran in recklessly at this time, and when he saw Hu Ran was also there, he said: "Hu Ran is also there! Old man, this is what you asked me to do, I have done it all, you can see it." ”

It stands to reason that Yu Tao should have left a few days ago, but Mr. Wu Yue taught him some things, which made Yu Tao stay in the waste vessel for a few more days.

"Hmm. Leave it away, and someone will pick it up later. ”

Yu Tao stood aside, silently waiting, he was worried every day, for fear that Mr. Wu Yue would mention the matter of letting him go to Black Iron City again.

Hu Ran glanced at the large number of things that Yu Tao had brought over, and said, "Old man, what are you going to do, Mr. Yu Tao has taken out so many things." Why don't you tell me?"

"Haha, you'll stay here tomorrow. ”

"I don't want it, tomorrow the young master will have to compete with Jian Qi!" Suddenly, Hu Ran seemed to think of something. "Young Master wouldn't use so many things to deal with Jian Qi, would he?"

Mr. Yu Tao scratched his head and said, "There are so many magic weapons, Ning Du should not be able to use them." However, this 'Wind Thunder Bead' can be used without any vitality control, and it can be exploded if thrown out. ”

"Isn't this just a big artillery?" Hu Ran picked up a blue-black bead and looked at it in front of him.

Yu Tao also nodded and said, "It should be a little more powerful." ”

Wu Yue directly manipulated the Yuan Qi to retrieve objects in the air, put the "Wind Thunder Bead" beside him, and said angrily: "Don't die, this thing can blow up the entire building!"

"Really?" Hu Ran was taken aback. "Old gentleman, teach me how to do this, I'm going to take this fried fish another day!"
