Two hundred and twenty-seven, the Southern Explorer

"I seem to get your thoughts. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" Zhou Yanbo stood up, "Tonight's conversation is very useful. ”

Li Xing was silent for a while, and suddenly asked, "Are you really not from the Xun family?"

"I can assure you that I am nothing more than a commissioned person. Zhou Yanbo said.

"I don't care if you're commissioned or not. Li Xing said, "You said that you represent the Xun family, I want to ask if things really go in the opposite direction, what will you do? Let the Xun family's army enter Qingzhou?"

"This is what you're most worried about, isn't it?" Zhou Yanbo said, "Whether it's the Xun family or the Southern Kingdom, whoever enters the territory of Qingzhou will disrupt this balance. ”

Li Xing nodded.

"Don't worry, if I want to solve this problem, I won't use a solution. Zhou Yanbo said. The next step was to send troops to Cheongju.

Then Zhou Yanbo walked in front of a painting, looked at the painting, and said to Li Xing: "This is the painting you bought recently, right? Even the mounting is new." ”

"Yes. Li Xing nodded.

"Who painted it?" Zhou Yanbo asked, "I have already looked at all the paintings before you came, and as long as the paintings are hung here, there will be inscriptions, names and seals, but this one has nothing, just a landscape painting." ”

"I found this painting when I went out to collect wind by chance, and what is even more amazing is that the person who painted this painting is a young woman, I have to say that her technique is very exquisite, this painting is I begged her for three days to get it, she should not be able to stand my troubles to agree, but she asked for no inscription, no name and no seal. Li Xing said that the painting was eloquent, "That woman is definitely not from Cheongju, so this may be the only painting of her that I can get." ”

"Lan ......," Zhou Yanbo whispered, "no wonder it's so familiar." ”

"What?"

"Nothing. Zhou Yanbo said, "It's taking up too much of your time, I should go, it's not good if I am seen." ”

Li Xing suddenly stopped Zhou Yanbo: "Please wait a minute!"

"What's the matter?" asked Zhou Yanbo, turning his head.

"I can see that you are definitely not a general, so I have one more thing to tell you, but it's up to you how you do it. ”

"Speak. ”

"I don't know how long you've been in Cheongju, but Cheongju has a very mysterious group that specializes in robbing places with few people......"

"I know about it. Zhou Yanbo said, "Just today, I met them, a group of masked people, who know a little martial arts, but they are not sophisticated enough. ”

"Looks like you've knocked them down. Li Xing said, "It is precisely because this group of people can't find it after committing a crime that everyone feels mysterious, but if you know the hidden secret, there is actually nothing." ”

"Looks like you know. ”

Li Xing nodded: "I can't know what I know, they are actually just under the orders of my second brother, or they are the second brother's people." ”

Zhou Yanbo frowned: "How did you know? I'm afraid even your eldest brother and father don't know about this matter, right?"

"Although I am just a child of an official eunuch who only likes calligraphy and painting, I also have my circle, and I will not be in contact with fewer people than my eldest brother and father. ”

"I didn't expect you to tell me this. ”

"I've stayed out of it, it's the same whether I say it or not, I'm afraid it won't be long before you know that. Li Xing said.

"I still don't really think of that. ”

"Officials and bandits collude. Li Xing shook his head, "Otherwise, how can there be such a word?" Second brother, if he wants to usurp the throne, it is impossible to succeed by relying on the Qingzhou gang alone, as long as the army is still in the hands of his father, he has no chance, so it is very important to develop his own power, but the funds required are not a small amount. ”

"I see. Zhou Yanbo said, "You've said enough. ”

……

Zhou Yanbo walked on the street, thinking back to what Li Xing said just now, Zhou Yanbo thought that his idea was right, and Li Xing knew more things than he imagined.

When Zhou Yanbo walked to an empty alley, he suddenly stopped and said, "How long will you follow?"

Two people appeared in the alley behind him, Zhou Yanbo turned around and looked at the two people and said lightly, "Do you have anything to do with me?"

"Yes. The tallest one spoke: "We want to know who you are, why did you appear at Cheongju Li Xing, and what did you say to each other?"

"If you want to know that. Zhou Yanbo said, "You should be more polite to me, don't speak so coldly, this is not a begging attitude." ”

"We didn't ask you!" said the shorter man, "and if you don't, we've got a way to do it." ”

"Then you guys just give it a try, I won't say that kind of attitude anyway. ”

After Zhou Yanbo finished speaking, the tall man rushed towards Zhou Yanbo with his body hanging and waved his fist at Zhou Yanbo.

"You are not Li Nian's people?" Zhou Yanbo asked after dodging away, the light skills and boxing techniques used by this person were very strange, not at all like the regular light skills and boxing techniques.

The tall man did not answer Zhou Yanbo, but took out a smaller bow and put an arrow on Zhou Yanbo, Zhou Yanbo hurriedly blocked this arrow with ink bamboo, at this time a strange knife appeared in the little man's hand and slashed at Zhou Yanbo, this move is very common, but it made Zhou Yanbo suspicious, so he did not take this move, but used light skills to dodge.

After Zhou Yanbo opened a certain distance, he found that there was a strange liquid on the folding fan, as if it was left after touching an arrow, and his eyes were very strange, Zhou Yanbo thought of something, and said to the two people: "Southern Secret Technique, you are the spies of Southern Kingdom." ”

"What a mistake. Zhou Yanbo said, "I remember that the five-color rope belt around your waist is one of the ornaments that the southerners must wear, and it was my mistake not to see it." ”

"Tell us who you are and for what. The tall man said.

"You'd better give up. Zhou Yanbo wiped the venom off the ink bamboo with a handkerchief and said, "Although I have not been exposed to the secret art of the Southern Kingdom, it is still impossible for you to defeat me." ”

"If you want to hit me, you need to send at least five people over. After Zhou Yanbo finished speaking, he took off the canghua behind him.

The two people from the south on the opposite side didn't say anything, and then rushed towards Zhou Yanbo, although their pace was not as treacherous as the instantaneous shadow, but it was also difficult to feel the law, plus the poisonous weapons, it was indeed a difficult opponent.

"The fan is not usable. Zhou Yanbo thought in his heart, "With such a dim light, it is easy for the other party to do anything, and it can't be used in close combat, and what the skin touches will be over." "The fight at night gave Zhou Yanbo too many restrictions, including the use of heart martial arts.

Zhou Yanbo used Canghua to deal with two people from the south within a certain distance, I have to say that the cooperation between these two people is really tacit, no worse than impermanence, the tall man uses a micro precision bow, this kind of bow is smaller than a normal bow, but the rate of fire is fast; the little man uses a small chai knife in the south, this kind of knife is very common in the south, almost every family has it, it is a good close-range weapon. One attacked from a distance, one fought at close range, and both of them could have poison on their weapons, so Zhou Yanbo couldn't completely let go of his hands and feet.

Suddenly, the tall man took out a hidden weapon from behind and threw it at Zhou Yanbo, the shape of this hidden weapon was very strange, Zhou Yanbo used Canghua to knock it off, and he couldn't help but tremble all over, a scorpion, on Zhou Yanbo's Canghua, was crawling towards his hand.

Zhou Yanbo hurriedly shook off the scorpion, and then killed it with Canghua's anger.

"I can't fight them anymore, and even if I win, I don't want to sleep at night. Zhou Yanbo thought in his heart, and then took out a smoke bomb from his sleeve pocket and threw it at the two people, the people in the south have not yet come into contact with such a thing as a smoke bomb, so when Zhou Yanbo threw it at them and suddenly burst out of smoke, the two people immediately became panicked, and Zhou Yanbo took advantage of this flaw to knock the two people unconscious with Canghua, and then immediately left the alley.

"There are no Xun family Fengwei people around, I said that one person is enough, Bi Fang really did it, I don't know if he is too smart or too loyal......"

When Zhou Yanbo returned to Dong's mansion, Yun Yun was reading a book outside the house with a wind lantern, and Bi Fang was also waiting on the side, and when Zhou Yanbo appeared, Yun Yun said, "Why is it so slow?"

"Don't talk about this yet!" Zhou Yanbo said, "Bi Fang, you immediately go find a set of clothes that have not been cleaned, and a larger cloth, Yun'er, you go and get some firewood to light a fire, hurry up." Also, don't do this in the Dong Mansion!"

The two looked at each other, not knowing what happened to Zhou Yanbo.

"Hurry up!" Zhou Yanbo said anxiously, "The reason will be told to you later, I will go take a bath first, and the clothes will be sent to me." ”

Zhou Yanbo immediately entered the room and took off his clothes, and soon after Bi Fang brought in the clean clothes, Zhou Yanbo personally wrapped the clothes he took off with a cloth and handed them to Bi Fang: "Don't open it, take it and burn it directly, it must be burned to ashes." ”

"Huh!?" Bi Fang didn't know how Zhou Yanbo had become like this when he went to Li Xing.

After Zhou Yanbo took a bath, he went to the carriage and took a small sandalwood box and came to the fire that Yunyun lit, the clothes he changed were already burning inside, Zhou Yanbo took out Canghua wrapped in a clean cloth, and the sandalwood box contained some tools, which were used to maintain Canghua, which were given by Gongye Qingliu.

Zhou Yanbo dismantled Canghua's handle and scabbard, and only put the metal blade and iron fan ink bamboo on the fire and burned it, which naturally did not hurt the knife, and then Zhou Yanbo put the scabbard and the handle of the knife at a safe distance from the fire and roasted it, while he watched silently on the side.

"Now you can say it, right?" Yun Yun asked, "Your strange behavior. ”

"I've seen Li Xing. Zhou Yanbo began to tell about the things he had encountered, including the two southern spies, "After leaving, just in case, I now found a room in an inn and waited for a quarter of an hour before quietly coming back to prevent them from finding here." ”

"Then what are you doing this for?" Yun Yun asked.

"I've heard a lot about the secret techniques of the southern kingdom, and one of them is that they can find a person by a special smell sprinkled on others, which we can't smell, but they can find through bugs and the like. I was afraid that they would do this on my clothes and weapons, so I was compelled to do so. ”

"The smell is eliminated by fire. Bi Fang said, "But does it work?"

"I don't know, but it's better than not being good. Zhou Yanbo said, "After all, Mr. Dong's identity is too special, I don't want to save him and hurt him again." ”

"Bi Fang. Zhou Yanbo said, "From tomorrow onwards, you need to let Feng Wei keep an eye on the Dong Mansion secretly, and anyone who is suspicious can't be let go, they may really find here." ”
