Section 5: Whereabouts

"What Gu seniors said, is it too much?" Yang Ling asked. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Gu Xun was noncommittal: "Yang Xian's nephew has a prejudice against him, and he will not be convinced of these words. But you should also know that my two brothers and one of them died at his hands. Gu Xun has an enmity with him, and it is a deep enmity in the sea of blood, so he will not favor him. Although this person is sexually perverse, he is so talented that he is beyond the reach of my generation. ”

Gu Xun is not a person who admires the strong, he is a chivalrous man, and he values chivalry and righteousness. Since he said this, what could Yang Ling say again? He exhaled a long breath, and his heart suddenly moved: "What's wrong with me? Why do I reject him so much?"

"That's right, nephew. Gu Xun put aside the topic and said: "You guys are going to Xuzhou, don't you want to come to enjoy the mountains and rivers?" Yang Ling remembered the matter and said busily: "No, we came to Xuzhou to find Longyuanjiang." ”

"Long Yuanjiang?" Gu Xunqi said: "Isn't it Long Yuanjiang, the leader of the Taihu Qinglong Gang?"

"Exactly!" Yang Ling saved Zhou Changfeng, the deputy gang leader of the Qinglong Gang, who was involved in right and wrong because of 200,000 taels of silver in Wuxi, and Zhou Changfeng was shot by the silver needle of the mysterious person, Zhou Changfeng said before he died, Jiangnan disaster, Dongchang and other words, and when he found the Yangzhou Golden Sword Mansion, Zheng Tiannan was killed by his disciples, and learned that Wei Zhongxian sent Xu Xianchun to assist in presiding over Yan Song Fengyang's Southern Martial Arts Conference.

Gu Xun listened, and his white eyebrows tightened: "My Huashan is located in Shaanxi, and I don't know anything about this strict martial arts conference." But it's weird. ”

Yang Ling asked him why, and Gu Xun said: "This Yan Song and Cangnan faction have only risen in recent years, how can they have such a huge strength to stir up the entire Jiangnan?"

Yang Ling pondered: "What Senior Gu means is that there is a hidden force behind the Cangnan faction that has been lurking to help each other?And there is some connection between Yan Song's 200,000 taels of silver and Wei Zhongxian's Southern Martial Arts Conference?" Gu Xun nodded and said, "Yes, and this force is very likely to be Wei Zhongxian." And this property worth 200,000 taels is afraid that it was also given to Wei Zhongxian. ”

Gu Xun said: "As far as I know, this Cangnan faction has only been established for three years, and its foundation is in the south, and it has nothing to do with the northern martial arts. Yan Song's life, old decay also knows a little, from which there are some clues. Yang Ling hurriedly said: "I hope the old-timers will see me!"

Gu Xun sighed: "If you want to say that this Yan Song, he was originally from Suning, Beizhili, and he was pitiful when he was young." When he was more than ten years old, his parents were killed by the enemy, and he was not spared, but he didn't know who rescued him, and then fled to Jiangnan alone, living a life of cowpen and pig dung. As the saying goes: 'Dirt and forbearance, eventually become a great weapon', sure enough, in the past few decades, he has achieved great martial arts, and finally killed the enemies one by one, but the means are also terrifying. But since then, he has been very powerful, and he founded the Cangnan faction in Jiangnan. ”

Yang Ling frowned and said, "Who will be the person who saved him?" He said again: "But I didn't expect that Yan Song was actually from Hebei?" Gu Xun nodded and said: "Yes, and it is Wei Zhongxian's fellow countryman!"

Yang Ling also said: "If this is the case, then the possibility that Yan Song and Wei Zhongxian have already had a relationship is very abnormal!" He paused and said, "But I think that Wei Zhongxian and Yan Song are using each other. ”

"Mutual use?" Luo Cailing questioned. "Not bad. Yang Ling smiled: "Wei Zhongxian used Yan Song to deter Jiangnan Wulin to ensure that no high-rollers from the rivers and lakes would oppose him to the Dongchang Imperial Court. And Yan Song used Wei Zhongxian to plot to dominate the martial arts, first in the southern martial arts, and then in the Central Plains. ”

Gu Xun frowned and said, "Yang Xian's nephew's analysis is not unreasonable. ”

Wei Zhongxian is the suzerain of Dongchang and is in charge of Jinyiwei, and he even secretly supports a Cangnan faction?

"Wait, I seem to have thought of something. Yang Ling suddenly said: "Zhou Changfeng is from Wuxi, the factory of the East Factory with a Wuxi accent is biased, and the pronunciation is vague, I didn't belong to the mind at the time, maybe the Dongchang he said is actually the East Factory!"

"Brother Yang, but, isn't this right?" Luo Cailing couldn't figure it out and asked: "If Yan Song wants to send 200,000 taels of treasure to Wei Zhongxian of Dongchang, then he will go north directly, go to Hangzhou, and go to Beijing along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, isn't it faster, why do you have to start from Wuxi Taihu Lake and then turn to the land?"

Yang Ling and Gu Xun glanced at each other, and they already had the answer in their hearts: "Because he wants to hide people's eyes." He is afraid of such a person, afraid that starting from the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, he will know about his intentions!"

Who are they talking about? That person is even afraid of the majestic "Cangnan Palm"?

"So it's him?" Luo Cailing's small mouth opened slightly, and she also guessed.

Starting from the first line of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, it is bound to enter Jinling, that is, Jinling, so how can the master of Shen Yuan, the number one force in Jinling, sit and not see it? And Shen Jingyuan, the master of Shen Yuan, the "iron-faced miracle doctor", how can everyone want to see it?

"To paraphrase the words of Boss Wu of the Yangtze River's 'Swimming Fish Gang', Yan Song's plan is to hide people's eyes and ears, attack the east and west, and secretly Chen Cang. He thought that with his prestige, the thieves on the road would not dare to fight him, so even if he took a long detour, it didn't matter much. But let him pass under Shen Que's nose, such a large amount of treasure is bound to be exposed. When the time comes, he will be discovered by Shen Que, I am afraid that his plot to collude with Wei Zhongxian will also be discovered, and at that time, Shen Yuan will definitely add a hand, and his wish to dominate the Jiangnan martial arts is only afraid that it will be difficult to achieve. ”

"It's a pity that Boss Wu miscalculated, how could he Yan Song not miscalculate? The Qinglong Gang established Taihu Lake and looted for a living, but they didn't know why, and recklessly robbed this batch of silver unceremoniously. How could Yan Song not be angry? His wishful thinking had obviously failed, so the elimination of the Blue Dragon Gang was still secondary, and the most important thing was to recover the 200,000 taels. ”

Yang Xian's nephew is reasonable. Gu Xun shook his head and sighed: "Throughout the ages, how many heroes want to dominate the rivers and lakes, but who has got their wish? Yan Song's use of Dongchang Jinyiwei is indeed a shortcut, but it is bound to cause a bloody battle between Jiangnan Wulin and the imperial court Jinyiwei. The four words of the Jiangnan catastrophe seem to be no exaggeration. ”

"And the most terrible thing is that once Yan Song succeeds, it will be equivalent to letting Wei Zhongxian control the Jiangnan martial arts line, and when the time comes, they will inevitably use the forces of the Jingshi to merge with Yan Song's Jiangnan forces and encroach on other martial arts sects, Yan Song dominates the martial arts, Wei Zhongxian sits firmly in the imperial court, if there is a disobedient, it can be handed over to Yan Song to deal with, and when the time comes, it will not be able to push the vendetta to the rivers and lakes, it is really a good way to eradicate dissidents!" Gu and Luo nodded one after another, but they heard him say again: "I'm afraid that Wei Zhongxian's plot is more than that." ”

"This is still secondary, the most important thing now is to find Long Yuanjiang before Yan Song, find the 200,000 taels, and expose the conspiracy of Yan Song and Wei Zhongxian, so that the Jiangnan martial arts people can take precautions. Gu Xun said.

There is also the letter that Long Yuanjiang found. Yang Ling interjected: "I always feel that the letter is probably more critical." Luo Cailing nodded: "That's right, that's evidence!"

Yang Ling said: "I also heard some things with Cai Ling on the road, but it is quite related to Yan Song and Long Yuanjiang, and I also ask my seniors to refer to it." Gu Xun smiled: "Virtuous nephew, please speak." ”

Yang Ling said slowly: "On the way, all the sects we passed through had news of being coerced by the Cangnan faction. The slightly large sect was invited to join the Fengyang Martial Arts Conference, and the small sect was directly annexed by the Cangnan faction. And the biggest common denominator is that near the sects that Yan Song went, there were people who had seen a mysterious figure who came and went in a hurry and wore a hat. ”

Gu Xun pondered: "Long Yuanjiang is nicknamed 'Horned Golden Dragon', and he has a big tumor on his head, isn't it this mysterious person who wears a hat?" Yang Ling also said: "Yes, the junior and Cai Ling have also thought about it like this, but it doesn't seem to be the case." ”

"Oh?" Gu Xun twisted his beard and said: "The virtuous nephew is thoughtful, and if he has inferences, he might as well say it clearly, so as to save the old man from guessing." Luo Cailing also urged: "That's it, Brother Yang, don't sell it, say it quickly!"

Yang Ling nodded and said, "I thought that none of these mysterious people who appeared and left in a hurry near the various sects were Long Yuanjiang, but just a few of his attendants!"

"So, the virtuous nephew thinks that Long Yuanjiang is using a strategy to break the whole into pieces and set up a suspicious array?" Gu Xun frowned. Yang Ling said: "Exactly." Thinking that Long Yuanjiang must have known that Yan Song was following, so he set up this plan, which not only made Yan Song tired, but also created an excellent illusion, making the other party think that he was fleeing in all directions, but in fact, he had already taken refuge in another place, waiting for the opportunity!"

Luo Cailing asked, "Then, where did Long Yuanjiang hide?" Yang Ling smiled: "Let's not talk about this first." He said slowly: "In this way, Yan Song is bound to offend all the major sects in Jiangnan, but he can't catch Long Yuanjiang." ”

Gu Xun sighed: "I see. Luo Cailing also said: "I understand, Long Yuanjiang wants the Cangnan faction to make more strong enemies, so that he can connect the various sects in the dark in order to resist Yan Song!"

"Not bad. Yang Ling bowed his head and said: "With all the major sects going out together, no matter how arrogant the Cangnan faction is, it can't be the enemy of the entire martial arts!" Gu Xun said: "Yang Xian's nephew's inference is very reasonable. Not to mention that with the appeal of Long Yuanjiang alone, it is absolutely impossible to mobilize all the major factions in Jiangnan to work together to resist Yan Song, but if Yan Song spontaneously offends all the major factions, and then knows the righteousness and moves with affection, it will get twice the result with half the effort!"

"What Gu senior said is extremely true. Yang Ling continued: "It's just that if no one takes the lead, I'm afraid that these sects are also trembling, and they don't dare to really let go of Yan Song, but the grass on both sides of the wall is even more troublesome." Luo Cailing said with a smile: "I know, so Long Yuanjiang is now looking for a sect that can play a leading role, and this sect must not only have the power to fight Cangnan alone, but also be a decent family!"

Yang Ling praised: "Cai Ling is right, you are so smart! He sighed secretly in his heart: "Cai Ling is still young, thinking that as long as he is a famous and decent person, he is a good person, and the crooked and evil ways are all bad people, how can there be no bad people in the famous and decent people, and there are no good people in the crooked and evil ways?" Isn't that white-clothed demon also a crooked and evil way?

Luo Cailing showed off her cheeks and was ashamed: "What, you said more than half of it, I don't know, everyone has become pigs." ”

Yang Ling laughed. Gu Xun said: "In the past, there were nine major sects, three major families, one gang, one alliance, one sect, and one guard, among which the league, the sect, and the guard were not from my way. Moreover, this time is different from the past, and there is no one who can still fight against Yan Song alone than the four major sects of martial arts. Yang Ling also said: "In addition to the four factions, there are Huashan, Hengshan, Huangshan, Diancang and other major factions. There were many sects at first, and I was not sure until I had a conversation with my predecessors Gu, and I dared to make a conclusion at this point. ”

Yang Ling gestured: "Emei is located in Sichuan, Kunlun is far away in the Western Regions, and Hengshan has no master outside the 'Zhongzhou Sword' Xiahou Kun, Xiahou Kun has always traveled the sword rivers and lakes, and his whereabouts are difficult to determine; The factions such as Diancang, Qingcheng, and Kongtong are either too far away or their strength is quite inferior, and as for the Huashan faction of Gu's predecessors, they are also in Shaanxi, and Long Yuanjiang is bound to be willing to take great risks and sacrifice the near and far. Therefore, the most likely only ones are Wudang Mountain in Shiyan, Hubei, and Shaolin Temple in Songshan, Henan!"

Gu Xun said: "And Wudang Lonely Zidao is very old, and he concentrates on cultivating the Dao, and he has already handed over the affairs of the door to the eldest disciple 'Rouyun Sword' Feng Yunxuan. Although Feng Yunxuan is a rare person of the younger generation, he is still much inferior to Yan Song, and he is afraid that it will be difficult to succeed......"

"So......" The three of them said in unison: "Long Yuanjiang must have gone to Songshan Shaolin Temple!"

"Moreover, the Zen Master of Compassion has always been compassionate to the heavens and people, and Long Yuanjiang went to cry for help, he would definitely not close the door. Long Yuanjiang showed Yan Song's secret note again, and the Zen Master of Compassion would not sit idly by. After Yang Ling finished speaking, Luo Cailing said with a smile: "At that time, the Shaolin Temple came forward, responded to all calls, and resisted Yan Song, and when the time comes, he is afraid that his alliance conference will not be opened!"

Gu Xun saw that Yang Ling's expression was still sullen, and asked, "Are you afraid that the virtuous nephew will be worried about delaying the hour if you make a mistake?" Yang Ling shook his head: "I'm worried, Long Yuanjiang was negligent for a while, and I saw a flaw." And Yan Song, he also saw it. ”

He turned around and said, "The reason why I'm sure which mysterious people wearing hats are not Long Yuanjiang himself is because Cai Ling once saw a strange person wearing a hat in the north of Yangzhou a few days ago. And when we rushed to Xuzhou, we heard one after another that the Seven Fists would surrender to the Cangnan faction, and the mysterious hats appeared in the Overlord Gate. Just imagine how fast Long Yuanjiang's footsteps are in the Seven Boxing Society, the Overlord Gate is one west and one north? Could it be that he still has a doppelganger technique? Therefore, I am sure that there is more than one person wearing a hat, and they are one west and one north, creating illusions respectively. Since it's not a person, the possibility of Long Yuanjiang being included is very small!"

Luo Cailing smiled: "Brother Yang, it turns out that you found out like this. Yang Ling nodded: "So, I can not only notice this problem, Yan Song's subordinates are innumerable, but before us, I am afraid that I will find out earlier." Even if no one notices, as long as they catch one person, this trick will be tricked. ”

Cai Ling exclaimed: "Then he will definitely rob Long Yuanjiang before he reaches Shaolin Temple! We have to hurry!" She was surprised to hear it, and she was so absorbed in her mind that she forgot about the scar on her cheek for a while.

Gu Xun also said: "It is only a few days' journey from Xuzhou to Dengfeng, Henan. Anyway, there's nothing left and right, and the old decay will be with you!"

Yang Ling was overjoyed: "With the help of Gu seniors, even if there is a head-on conflict with Yan Song on this trip, there is nothing to fear!" When he first arrived in Xuzhou, he was worried that if he followed all the way, he would inevitably face Yan Song head-on, and the mysterious person who killed Zhou Changfeng was also from the Cangnan faction. Even if he is only an enemy of one of the two of them, he is afraid that he will not be able to resist it.

And "Cangnan One Palm" is certainly strong in martial arts, and there are many talented people under him, but with the help of this martial arts leader who has long been a famous master "Cangjian Qingfeng", the number of victories and defeats is unpredictable.

Exactly: "The sunrise of the clear wave sheaths the sword, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village." ”
