The next day, the beginning of the day.

Because the first night was really tossed for too long, everyone was very tired, Lin Zhiwu and Lin Xiaoyang both slept until more than half of the hour, but Mu Ziru slept until three o'clock in the morning.

As for what Mu Ziru said before, "I will go back early tomorrow morning, and then go to Nanling County in Jiangnan after worshipping the second lady" or something, everyone chose to silently forget about it......

The most pitiful is Lin Zhiwu, because of insomnia, Lin Zhiwu only slept for less than half an hour before getting up.

At this moment, Lin Zhiwu, Lin Xiaoyang, and Mu Ziru were sitting in a corner of the hall on the first floor of the Yueyang Inn eating breakfast quietly, and the unsubtle chatting in the hall came into the ears of the three of them-

"I heard that this year's martial arts conference was held in the main village of the Lin family, the five major martial arts families of the Nine Kingdoms, and almost all the large and small sects on the rivers and lakes have received invitations to participate in the martial arts conference, and even the Longxue Gate in the northern frontier of the Red Ice Country has received an invitation!"

"I heard that this is the result agreed upon by the five major martial arts families—the Murong family of the Dazhang Kingdom, the Dugu family of the Chibing Kingdom, the Lin family of the Great Liang Kingdom, the Bai family of the Fengming Kingdom, and the Lou family of the Hui Kingdom, and it seems that the position of the leader of the alliance has been vacant for two years. Guest B answered.

"Yes, since the martial arts alliance leader Aolong was killed two years ago, the alliance leader seal of the martial arts alliance leader has been kept by the five major martial arts families in turn, and the position of the alliance leader has been vacant. I heard that half a month ago, Dugu Sheng, the current head of the Dugu family, had personally escorted the alliance leader Yin from the Red Ice Country, and it is estimated that he will be able to reach the Lin family's house in Nanling County, Jiangnan, in another ten days. "Guest C.

"That's right, I also heard that those sects who were invited to participate in the martial arts conference duì The throne of the leader of the martial arts alliance this year can be said to be determined by each other, and some sects even those of the older generation have to go to Nanling County in the south of the Yangtze River to participate in the martial arts conference!"

"Really? Then we'll have to see. I don't know which sect will be able to win the final victory and win the throne of the martial arts alliance leader. "The voice of the guest Ding.

"I'm more optimistic about the Tianshan faction in the northern Xinjiang of Dazhang Kingdom. What about you?" asked Guest A.

"I'm optimistic about the Longxue Gate in the northern frontier of the Red Ice Country. I heard that this time, even the head of their retreat for ten years came out to participate in this year's martial arts conference. Guest B's voice.

"I'm also optimistic about Long Xuemen. Guest C supported the voice.

"I think this year, the Feihua faction in the western Xinjiang of the Great Liang Kingdom has a better chance of winning. Why don't we take a gamble and see who of them can win the throne of this martial arts alliance in the end?"

"Okay, let's take a gamble!" echoed guest B.

"I bet five taels and bet on the Tianshan faction to win. "Guest A.

"Seeing that you have so much confidence in the Tianshan faction, you only bet five taels? I bet ten taels, and I bet on Long Xuemen to win. "Guest B.

"I also bet ten taels and bet on Long Xuemen to win. "Guest C.

"I'm betting on the Flyers to win. Twenty taels!"

……

Regarding the noisy gambling in the inn hall, Lin Zhiwu and the three of them just ate their breakfast quietly. It is not surprising that every martial arts tournament is held to trigger a civil gamble.

Although Lin Xiaoyang is also going to participate in this year's martial arts conference, to be honest, the three of them don't really care about who the throne of the martial arts alliance leader will be this year.

Lin Zhiwu doesn't need to say it, he was just ordered to escort Lin Xiaoyang to Nanling County, Jiangnan to participate in the martial arts conference, and whether Lin Xiaoyang can become the leader of the martial arts alliance is not within the scope of Lin Zhiwu's responsibilities at all.

As for Mu Ziru, he had already told Lin Xiaoyang at the beginning that he was really not interested in any martial arts conference, let alone the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance. The only thing that attracted Mu Ziru was the conspiracy and trickery that those martial arts people would use in order to compete for the throne of the martial arts alliance leader, otherwise, Mu Ziru would not even look at the martial arts conference.

And Lin Xiaoyang, who is the party concerned, knows how much he doesn't care just by looking at Lin Xiaoyang's gobbling appearance.

If you let those guests who made bets know that in Lin Xiaoyang's eyes, the throne of the martial arts alliance leader is not as good as a featureless breakfast, I don't know how they will feel? Will one person find a piece of tofu and crash to death? Or freshly baked tender tofu!

After breakfast, Lin Zhiwu packed his luggage, settled the house money, and went to the street to buy some reserve dry food and water before parting ways with Mu Ziru, turning over and continuing to go south with Lin Xiaoyang.

Standing under the towering south gate of Pingyang City, looking at the backs of Lin Zhiwu and Lin Xiaoyang galloping away, Mu Ziru habitually evoked a wicked smile, and then turned around and entered Pingyang City, walking in the opposite direction to Lin Zhiwu and Lin Xiaoyang.

For returning to Daliang Kyoto Creping to worship Liu Ruyun, Mu Ziru was not in a hurry, and walked slowly all the way to the north.

Mu Ziru felt that as long as he had time to go to Nanling County to watch the martial arts conference.

Five days later.

Great Liang Country. Kyoto Crepe Flatair. Zhu Fushang. Hanyuan study.

Warm sunlight shines on the floor of the study through the half-open windows, making the study bright and warm at the same time.

Sitting behind the dark red bookcase, Zhu Zimo, who was dressed in plain clothes, lowered his head and looked at the jade green hosta in his hand, and the blooming peach blossoms carved around the hairpin body on it were like real blooming peach blossoms, with a dark fragrance.

Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed in the study, and in the blink of an eye, a person wearing black clothes and a black scarf to cover his face was already kneeling in front of Zhu Zimo's bookcase.

I could only hear the man in black who was dressed in black and said respectfully, "See the master", which turned out to be a woman's voice.

Looking at the black-clothed man who was respectfully kneeling in front of the bookcase, Zhu Zimo nodded his head and asked in a voice without a trace of affection, "Did you find it?"

"Back to the master, after investigation, the subordinates can determine that in the early morning six days ago, the young lady dressed in men's clothes followed a man in brocade clothes out of Wanchun Building on East Street in the North District of Xuanping, and then left Xuanping in a carriage and went north. The subordinate asked the ** of Wanchun Building, and the ** said that the young lady had climbed into the backyard of their Wanchun Building by herself the night before. The ** didn't know the identity of the man in Tsing Yi, but the man in Tsing Yi lived in their Wanchun Building for more than 20 days, and he was generous. Later, because the man in Tsing Yi was about to leave, the ** asked the young lady to serve the man in Tsing Yi, but the man in Tsing Yi said that the young lady was his concubine after seeing the young lady, and he would enter Wanchun Building by mistake because of playfulness. **Originally, I didn't believe it, but the man in Tsing Yi threatened with a sword and gave a lot of money, so ** let the man in Tsing Yi take away the young lady. The man in black reported to Zhu Zimo about the situation she had investigated.

"What is the appearance of that man in Tsing Yi?" Zhu Zimo suddenly asked.

Zhu Zimo was thinking that since the man in Tsing Yi had lived in Wanchun Tower for more than 20 days, he would definitely leave clues.

"Jade crown curled hair, fair skin, dense and curved eyebrows, red phoenix eyes, not too tall nose bridge, slightly thin lips, slender body, listening to the accent like a northerner. The man in black still reported what she had heard.

After listening to the report, he raised his hand and waved it lightly, Zhu Zimo said coldly: "I know, you go down!"

"Yes. A concise and powerful answer, and the next moment, the man in black kneeling in front of Zhu Zimo's book case had disappeared.

"Yan Ziming......" After the man in black disappeared, Zhu Zimo slowly pronounced out the name.

After listening to the report of the shadow, it is impossible for Zhu Zimo not to think of who the man who took Leng Qing away, he is the eldest brother of Zhu Zimo and Lin Xiaoyang - Yan Ziming.

Since the day Leng Qing disappeared, Zhu Zimo has been sending people to look for Leng Qing, at first he sent the subordinates of Zhu's mansion to secretly look for him, and in the end, that is, the day before yesterday, Zhu Zimo had directly sent Cangdie's shadow group responsible for collecting intelligence to find someone.

Today, two days later, the shadow of the Cangdie Shadow Group sent Zhu Zimo the news that Leng Qing was taken away by Yan Ziming.

Zhu Zimo remembered the day he first saw Leng Qing, the gloomy weather, Leng Qing was lying in the barren grass on the side of the road, her black hair was tied up in a ball at the back of her head, her face was pale, and she was wearing strange clothes and shoes, and the clothes on Leng Qing's chest were a large patch of dark red blood that had solidified.

At that time, Leng Qing was dying, as if he would sleep forever at any time.

At that time, looking at Leng Qing's closed eyes and pale face, Zhu Zimo suddenly remembered Cheng Xiao, who committed suicide in his arms that year.

He saved her, not because of her appearance, but because she was so similar to her sleeping face, and they were all so heartbreaking to him.

At the beginning, Zhu Zimo could still deceive himself, Leng Qing was Cheng Xiao's comfort to him, but until that day, the moment he learned that Leng Qing was missing, Zhu Zimo's heart suddenly became a mess.

At that time, Zhu Zimo understood that it turned out to be ...... He likes to be cold.

As the saying goes, "I don't know what to do, go deep", as early as the moment Zhu Zimo saw Leng Qing, he already liked Leng Qing. However, it was too late, and before he could say what he liked her, she disappeared.

Holding the jade hosta in his hand tightly, Zhu Zimo's cold voice overflowed from his lips: "Yan Ziming, you are reluctant to leave Daliang, you are really playing Leng Qing's idea! The people and things around me, as long as they are valued by me, you will never take them away at any cost! This time, even Leng Qing you have to take it away, right?!!?"

As soon as Zhu Zimo's words fell, Lu Xueyue's voice suddenly sounded outside the door: "Family master, Steward Liu said that there was a guest visiting, and the person who came claimed to be your deceased, Steward Liu asked the slave maid to ask if you want to meet this guest?"

After calming down, Zhu Zimo said in a deep voice: "Sue Steward Liu, please go to the front hall to wait first, and I will arrive later." ”

"Yes. Lu Xueyue respectfully agreed, followed by the footsteps of her leaving.
