Chapter 4 Ye Qingshu explores the man in black at night
Ye Qingshu was surprised to hear that the person he saved was actually the emperor of the dynasty. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info He is wandering in the rivers and lakes, so naturally he will not know what the emperor looks like thousands of miles away. Ye Qingshu looked at Xia Qizheng carefully, compared to the emperor in his imagination, Xia Qizheng looked too young, the only thing that could make him believe a little was the clothes on Xia Qizheng's body, and the dust on the clothes would not reduce its beauty in the slightest. Xia Qizheng smiled: "Ye Daxia is suspicious of what I said? ”
Ye Qingshu said in his heart, no one in the world would be stupid enough to pretend to be the emperor, nine heads are not enough, but why was the emperor attacked in Guiyunzhuang, and there was no guard by his side, and he almost gave his life, is the current emperor a madman? But he still gave a slight salute and said: "Don't dare, I don't know Your Majesty's identity, I am offended, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive me." ”
Xia Qizheng took Ye Qingshu's hand and said, "Ye Daxia is serious, you saved my life, so naturally you don't have to be formal." I allow you to see you and not kneel, and you and I will be commensurate with each other in the future, how about it? ”
Ye Qingshu looked down and saw that Xia Qizheng was noble, his fingers were delicate and fair, and he must have never done any rough work. answered: "How dare Qingshu." ”
"Hero, why don't you dare? The emperor's meaning, Ye Daxia is willing to disobey it? Wei Chisong, who was standing behind Xia Qizheng, suddenly interjected.
Seeing that Ye Qingshu was a little hesitant, Xia Qizheng said: "Brother Ye, don't worry too much, I admire your martial arts, and I want to ask for a few tricks in the future." He laughed loudly.
Ye Qingshu thought to himself, this emperor is not confined to the complicated etiquette of the royal family, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty has won the award." Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Wei Gongxun's face being a little unhappy, and immediately put away his smile.
"I am on patrol this time, and the brothers are commensurate to avoid people's eyes, you have to remember that you must not reveal my identity." Xia Qizheng suddenly said with a straight face.
Seeing this, Ye Qingshu knew that this emperor was determined to be commensurate with his brother, but he didn't expect that the person he saved not only claimed to be the emperor, but also called himself a brother and sister. When Pingshui met, he thanked him, but he thought that he had nothing to do with his body, and there was nothing to be calculated, maybe this emperor had such a temperament, so he said: "In this case, Qingshu is overdue." ”
Xia Qizheng smiled: "I heard that the people in the rivers and lakes are heroic and uninhibited, why should Brother Ye be so restrained? As he spoke, he took his hand and walked towards the gate of Boyang City.
Wei Gongxun and Wei Chisong followed softly, and Wei Gongxun asked in a low voice, "Brother Song, what do you think of this Ye Qingshu?" ”
Wei Chisong stroked his beard and said slowly: "I see that this person is poorly dressed, but he is not a vulgar person, he should have studied for a few years. Shi Cai took a closer look, although this person was only twenty-three or four years old, his sideburns were a little white. The eyes are deep and tired, and they should have experienced great life changes. However, what surprised me the most was that his clothes were clean, and only some dust was stained on his legs and feet, as if he had not participated in the fierce battle just now, and this person's skill may be above you and me. ”
Wei Gongxun snorted: "It's not because we arrived in time that he is in danger." Wei Chisong smiled, knowing that this brother had committed the mistake of arrogance again, so he stopped talking.
Ye Qingshu didn't hear the conversation between the two of them, at this moment, his heart seemed to be attached to a wall, pressing him out of breath, and Lin Xianglan's figure kept appearing in his mind, clear as yesterday but ethereal. Ye Qingshu was worried about Lin Xianglan's safety, but he didn't know what to do. Fortunately for him, Xia Qizheng, who claimed to be the emperor next to him, was not a talkative person, and seemed to have his own thoughts. Maybe he's worried about Lan'er too? To his faint displeasure, Lan'er never mentioned that she had a marriage contract with the royal family.
Ye Qingshu shook her head secretly, Lan Er didn't say that there must be her intentions, or if it happened recently. He believes that Lin Xianglan will tell him and discuss with him no matter who Lin Xianglan sees or what he encounters.
Ye Qingshu went up the mountain this time to go to the appointment of the year and meet Lin Xianglan in the bamboo forest. But when Ye Qingshu arrived at the bamboo forest today, he didn't see Lin Xianglan, he waited anxiously for more than two hours, and his heart was uneasy.
Seeing that Lin Xianglan was delayed, Ye Qingshu hurried to the small pavilion in the bamboo forest, except for the gentle mountain breeze, there was only a lonely long qin in the pavilion, and a few residual leaves that fell on the long qin. Ye Qingshu picked up a piece, uneasiness welled up in his heart, and said in his heart: Lan'er must come here to play the piano every day, could it be that there is something important today? Or is something urgent?
Ye Qingshu threw away the leaves, strode away, and ran towards the backyard of the villa. When I entered the backyard, I found that the garden was empty, and I didn't meet a single person from the villa along the way, and it was terrible to be quiet here, without the slightest human breath. The uneasiness in Ye Qingshu's heart became stronger and stronger, and his heart beat fast. He forcibly restrained the anxiety in his heart, suppressed the rush of blood, and frantically searched for Lin Xianglan's traces in the villa.
Before entering the inner courtyard from the backyard, Ye Qingshu saw a group of black-clothed people walking around frequently at the arch of the courtyard. He hurriedly hid in the dark to observe, followed softly, and slowly followed to the gate of the manor. The shouting and killing outside the villa gradually became clear, and Ye Qingshu was shocked, could it be that the Lin family was attacked? He immediately jumped onto the wall, only to see a group of men in black besieging an unarmed teenager. Seeing that it was not Lin Xianglan, Ye Qingshu was overjoyed, but he was worried. But saving people is like fighting fire, Ye Qingshu immediately came to the rescue. It's just that what I didn't expect was that the person I saved claimed to be the current emperor, and this time he came to Guiyunzhuang to marry Lan'er into the palace! Ye Qingshu was sad, in the half a year since he left, has the Lan'er family experienced any changes? sighed secretly in his heart, he hated his incompetence and hated that he had not always been by Lin Xianglan's side. He no longer cares if his expression at this moment will arouse Xia Qizheng's suspicions, now he only cares about where Xianglan is and whether he is okay.
Xia Qizheng saw Ye Qingshu's brows tightened, and asked with concern, "Brother Ye has something on his mind?" ”
Ye Qingshu eased his senses and hurriedly said, "Thank you Brother Xia for your concern, I was just thinking about who those black-clothed people were?" It doesn't feel like a normal villain. ”
"Ye Daxia is reasonable." Wei Chisong suddenly interjected: "Looking at their formation, it is more like a well-trained army. ”
"This is even more strange, why did they attack Brother Xia?" Ye Qingshu didn't want people to notice what was on his mind, so he hurriedly followed Wei Chisong's words.
Xia Qizheng said: "It is not known yet, but I will definitely investigate this matter to the end." Wei Gongxun, after going back, immediately flew pigeons to pass the book, so that the guards could hurry up and reach Boyang City tomorrow. ”
"Yes! Young master. However, I suspect that Lin Changxuan did it. Wei Gongxun lowered his voice and raised his eyebrows to look at Ye Qingshu. Ye Qing was displeased in writing, it turned out that they called him the young master.
"No, I heard that Lin Gong is both loyal and righteous, and he is the righteous brother of the former emperor, so he will not do such a rebellious thing, there must be a hidden secret." Ye Qingshu remembered that Lin Xianglan had mentioned this matter and blurted out. But he suddenly felt a chill on his back, and vaguely felt that there was something wrong with what he said just now, but seeing that Xia Qizheng's expression was not abnormal, he felt a little relieved in his heart.
Although Xia Qizheng's face was calm, he was already taken aback in his heart, the first emperor and Lin Changxuan married Jinlan, only a few people knew, where did he know! It seems that what he expected was good, it must not be a coincidence that this person came to Yunzhuang. Xia Qizheng said calmly: "The moment the man in black attacked from the village, I suspected that this matter was related to Lin Changxuan. Why did Brother Ye come here, and what did he find? ”
Ye Qingshu expected that Xia Qi Zhengding would ask why he appeared in the villa, so he said: "I traveled all over the world under the clouds, and when I passed by here today, I didn't know the way up the mountain, I got lost in the forest, and the weeds under my feet were overgrown, and it was difficult to get off my feet, so I had to use light skills to move in the trees and trees." In the distance he saw a high wall in the tree, and flew towards it. When I crossed the high wall and looked around, I felt that there seemed to be no one in the village, and I was curious, and suddenly I heard a shout of killing in the distance, so I walked along the wall, which saved Brother Xia. ”
Xia Qizheng nodded after hearing this, but he didn't think so, but Ye Qingshu had saved his life, and it was difficult for him to judge this person's position for a while, so he thought about how to get more news from Ye Qingshu's mouth, and said: "I heard that in addition to those few mountain roads, the rest of Jiupan Mountain is densely forested, overgrown with weeds, and the terrain is rugged. ”
"Brother Xia has won the prize. In fact, most of the rumors are falsehoods, and everyone can do light work. Ye Qingshu faintly sensed that Xia Qizheng doubted his words, and might even doubt his true purpose for coming to the villa. The mountain forest behind the villa really has no way to go, and only those who are good at light skills can barely go up the mountain. This time, he also borrowed the wire in the forest to go up the mountain, he was afraid that he would meet the people of the Lin family when he walked the mountain road, so he left the wire in the jungle of the back mountain that could be used to use his strength to perform light skills.
Xia Qizheng suddenly said: "The wine and food in Bailiju in the city are very good, why don't you go with me and have a few drinks?" Ye Qingshu was worried about Lin Xianglan in his heart, and was about to excuse himself, but he saw that Xia Qizheng's demeanor was not asking for his opinion at all, and his two eyes were staring at him, he already understood that as long as he said the word "no", the two masters behind him would immediately take action. Ye Qingshu sighed secretly and accepted the proposal.
Dusk is approaching, and the remnant sun is like blood. The four of them entered the city, and along the way, they did not encounter the men in black on the mountain again. Ye Qingshu was very puzzled in his heart, he had been careful and vigilant on the road, first, to guard against the three people around him, and secondly, to be on guard against the black-clothed people in the villa. However, the powerful man in black on the mountain was silent after coming down the mountain, as if he had disappeared, which made Ye Qingshu even more uneasy, could it be that he was brewing a bigger conspiracy?
Along the way, Xia Qizheng thought back to today's events. The experience of his early years allowed him to calm down immediately after life and death, and repeatedly clear his mind and think about countermeasures. Although Ye Qingshu beside him saved his life, the timing of his appearance and the knowledge of his father's alliance with Lin Changxuan made him have to wonder Ye Qingshu, who is he? Where the hell did he come from? Is it related to the Lin family or the man in black on the mountain? I didn't encounter any more attacks along the way, could it be that Ye Qingshu was part of the plan of the man in black to save me? And there is an even bigger conspiracy? All kinds of questions kept appearing in Xia Qizheng's mind, and he was also trying to think about all the countermeasures. Tonight, ask for more things at the dinner party.
Wei Gongxun followed behind with a puzzled expression, and the emperor and Ye Qingshu were silent, preoccupied. However, what he cared about the most was that Wei Chisong followed behind them with a serious face. He had only seen Brother Wei Chi's expression a few times, and this expression indicated that something big was about to happen. He didn't dare to ask, but he also vaguely guessed that it might be Ye Qingshu's mouth about Lin Changxuan's alliance with the first emperor. For the first time, he thought that Ye Qingshu's head was broken, and he was about to open his mouth to laugh, but when he saw that Yu Chisong's face suddenly sank, the words on his lips were swallowed back, and the dissatisfaction and suspicion of Ye Qingshu in his heart increased a little.
Wei Chisong, who was beside Wei Gongxun, was stepping on heavy steps, thinking at every step, and guessing Ye Qingshu's identity at every step. He stared at Ye Qingshu's back, who was this young man, who actually knew about Lin Changxuan and the first emperor's marriage to Jin Lan. He touched his saber and clenched his fists, the emperor gave the order to act, and he could not be in a hurry. Although the emperor is young, the city government is very deep and ruthless, so he still does not act without authorization, so as not to disrupt the emperor's plan.
The group had their own hearts and came to a lively street corner. People gathered and dispersed in one place, and people kept visiting inside, and people kept shaking their heads and leaving. This is a restaurant with three floors high. Under the handrail of the verandah on the second floor, there is a plaque inlaid with gold edges, and on the plaque are three large characters inlaid with gold: Bailiju. At a glance, you can know that it comes from the hands of famous artists, and you can wander the dragon and sway your strength. The bustle of the world is all for profit, Baili Ju wine-colored food and entertainment, Baili is famous, and there are many things.
"This is Bailiju, it's really as lively as rumored." Xia Qizheng said to Ye Qingshu, with a relaxed and happy expression. Ye Qingshu nodded, thinking in his heart, after the catastrophe, he talked and laughed, this person is not very human.
Xia Qizheng turned around and whispered to Yu Chisong: "Why haven't you seen He Yinqing for so long, bastard, you must come back halfway, hide somewhere and steal your mouth, you go and find him." ”
"Yes." Wei Chisong turned around and left, He Yinqing was very afraid of hardship, and he walked around several famous restaurants, and he was sure to get something. Bailiju is the place to stay, he will not come again, start looking for it from East Street, there is a soup dumpling there that is somewhat famous.
Yu Chisong left the mouth, Xia Qizheng nodded at Wei Gongxun, Wei Gongxun saluted and followed Yu Chisong away, Ye Qingshu thought to himself, he must have sent a letter.
"Ah, official, please inside, please inside."
The thick smell of rouge made Ye Qingshu cough, and he saw Xia Qizheng walk straight in, and a middle-aged man wearing gold and silver inside immediately greeted him.
"I want a private room, the best, the quietest."
"The little one knows your habits and has prepared them for you early. You please. The middle-aged man smiled and asked the guy to lead the way, and Ye Qingshu followed.
Ye Qingshu was poorly dressed, and he was stopped outside the restaurant many times, but here, everyone greeted him with a smile, although he couldn't see what they were thinking, but he couldn't see a little contempt on his face.
Ye Qingshu followed Xia Qizheng to sit down in the private room, surrounded by a gold-inlaid mahogany screen, on which a picture of a hundred birds was drawn. It's a lot quieter, as if there's a thin layer of air, separating it from the bustling world outside.
"Xia Ye, what do you want today?" The guy looked at Xia Qizheng with a smile.
"You go down first. Come back later. ”
"Okay." The man's legs and feet were numb, and he disappeared with a puff of smoke.
"It's noisy, but the guys are diligent and the food is good. Brother Ye, you once said that you wandered the world, there must be something interesting, pick up a few and listen to it? ”
Ye Qingshu was thinking about how to respond, and suddenly realized that there were only two of them here, and if he was knocked unconscious, he could leave immediately. A cold sweat broke out behind his back, he didn't know why he had such a dangerous idea, it was too dangerous to do so, if he was really the emperor, I was afraid that the Lin family would be killed. Ye Qingshu casually talked about what he had seen and heard, and Xia Qizheng listened very seriously.
After a cup of tea, Yu Chisong walked in, followed by He Yinqing. He Yinqing looked at Xia Qizheng with a smile, Xia Qizheng just waved his hand and didn't look at him.
He Yinqing was very surprised when he saw Ye Qingshu beside Xia Qizheng. "Young Master, who is this?" He Yinqing poked out a finger from his wide long sleeves, gently pointed at Ye Qingshu who was sitting next to Xia Qizheng, and immediately retracted it. He saw that this person was dressed shabby, but he could sit next to Xia Qizheng, and he couldn't help but guess, who this person was?
"This is Ye Qingshu Ye Daxia, I got lost in the mountains, met him by chance, and had a good conversation. Thanks to him for taking me down the mountain, finding Yu Chisong and them, and being able to come back, I invited him to have a glass of wine, and you come and salute quickly. Xia Qizheng had no intention of telling He Yinqing about the villa, and from the moment he came down from the villa, he began to be wary of everyone except Wei Chisong.
He Yinqing hurriedly knelt on the ground: "The villain meets Ye Daxia." ”
Ye Qingshu hurriedly stood up from his seat and stretched out his hand to help He Yinqing: "I can't bear such a big gift here, please get up quickly." ”
He Yinqing got up with a smile and sat down carefully opposite Xia Qizheng.
Coincidentally, Wei Gongxun knocked on the door and entered the house, bowed and said, "Young master, it's done." ”
"Okay, come and sit down."
After speaking, Yu Chisong and Wei Gongxun sat on He Yinqing's right hand side in turn.
Everyone sat around the table, Xia Qizheng said to Ye Qingshu: "The wine here is very famous, their store is called Bailiju, just because it is a good place to eat within a radius of 100 miles, and their wine is called Bailiol, Thyme Mellow, unsurpassed, Brother Ye taste?" ”
"Thank you, Brother Xia, but I don't drink anymore."
"Hey, our master rewarded you with wine? But you won't allow it. But I really don't know how to lift. Wei Gongxun pointed at Ye Qingshu and shouted, Yu Chisong hurriedly pressed his hand, and said with a smile: "Hey, people have their own hardships, what are you doing." ”
He Yinqing also laughed and said: "Wei Gongxun has this temperament, please don't be surprised." ”
"How come, Brother Wei is straightforward and straightforward, and I am also taken care of by the two of you on the road." Ye Qingshu thought that Xia Qizheng didn't tell He Yinqing about the mountain, so he avoided talking about it here. Wei Gongxun thought that Ye Qingshu would refute him, but he didn't think that he was not angry, and wanted to borrow his words to say a few more words, but he didn't punch the smiling person, so he had to give up. Wei Gongxun was originally a loyal and righteous person, but because the emperor and Yu Chisong were very polite to this unknown person, Yu Chisong praised this person's martial arts and was a little dissatisfied with himself.
"Since Brother Ye doesn't drink, the duck tongue here is also famous, do you want to try it?"
"This." Ye Qing has a difficult color in writing.
"The husband doesn't have to be so babbling, just say it directly." Wei Gongxun immediately interjected.
Ye Qingshu didn't know where he offended this person, or if he and Yu Chisong were red-faced and white-faced. He said slowly: "It's not that I don't accept Xia Gongzi's love, I don't hide it, I don't eat meat and don't drink alcohol." ”
"You don't eat meat or drink alcohol, so you can't be a monk?" Wei Gongxun laughed when he heard it.
After hearing this, Xia Qizheng took the case and reprimanded angrily: "Hugh is rude! ”
Wei Gongxun immediately lowered his head and covered his mouth, Xia Qizheng was about to have a seizure, but was stopped by Ye Qingshu: "Brother Wei is right, Xia Gongzi is warmly entertained, but I am pushing back." It's just that I haven't eaten meat or alcohol since I was a child, and I ask Brother Xia not to be surprised. ”
Xia Qizheng immediately asked, "Where did Brother Ye come from?" Is it the rules of the master? ”
Ye Qingshu replied: "I studied under Su Xiao and learned knife techniques for a few years, as for my lack of eating meat and not drinking, it was influenced by my mother. ”
Yu Chisong was surprised after hearing this: "What Ye Daxia said is Nanshan Dao Su Xiao?" ”
"Exactly."
Yu Chisong then asked: "I saw that Ye Daxia did not use sword skills on the mountain, could it be that Ye Daxia also studied under others?" ”
"No, there is only Su Xiao as the family teacher, and I used the flute technique to be instructed by a master, but he did not leave his name." Ye Qingshu remembered the agreement with others and deliberately avoided talking about it.
"Look up for a long time, look up for a long time. I didn't expect Brother Ye to be a disciple of Nanshan Daomen. ”
"Who is Nanshan Knife?" Wei Gongxun was very curious.
"Gong Xun, do you know who the four famous masters on the rivers and lakes are?"
"I don't know, let's hear it."
Wei Chisong looked at Xia Qizheng, Xia Qizheng nodded, and said slowly: "The matter on the rivers and lakes has never been conclusive. No matter how people change, the rivers and lakes will also change. Therefore, the number one master on the rivers and lakes has always had different opinions and opinions. However, for the most powerful people on the rivers and lakes, it is unanimous. The sword on the weapon is the most precious sword, the highest swordsmanship is Lin Changxuan, and the most exquisite sword is Ye Daxia's master Su Xiao. The two of them, one south and one north, can be described as a martial arts duo. ”
"Big brother, this is a weapon craft, is it powerful in fist and foot kung fu?"
"Naturally, although martial arts do not divide territory, the Western Zhou Dynasty is good at weapons, and there are many masters of fist and foot kung fu in the Eastern Qi. The most exquisite boxing technique is the Zen master of Qinglong Temple, and the most powerful palm is Li Nan, the king of Pingxi of Eastern Qi. These people are all masters of the famous martial arts, but they didn't expect Su Xiao to be Ye Daxia's respected teacher, and he is really a famous teacher and a high apprentice. ”
"Brother Wei Chi has won the award." Ye Qingshu waved his hand.
"Brother Ye, don't be humble." The guy brought a pot of good Biluochun, Xia Qizheng picked up the teacup, and everyone also raised the teacup, and everyone replaced the wine with tea, and each drank a cup.
"Are these four really so powerful?" Wei Gongxun drank the tea down, the delicate teacup could not satisfy him, he smacked his mouth a few times, and let Yu Chisong continue.
"These four people have completely different martial arts paths, but they are all first-class masters. Lin Changxuan's swordsmanship is elegant, and he walks alone in martial arts. Although the Lin family's swordsmanship has few moves, the moves are deadly, and each move can echo with other greetings, and the unpredictable changes make people unguardable. Qinglong Temple's Fan Zen Master, profound internal strength, shaking the past and the present, ordinary Arhat boxing in his hands is full of power, in the boxing road rarely meet opponents. Li Nan is the king of Pingxi of Eastern Qi, his palm is unique, he has a different way, is known for his ruthlessness, and it is rumored that he is good at using secret weapons. Su Xiao lives in seclusion in the mountains and forests all the year round, and the people in the rivers and lakes are called Nanshan knives. His knife skills are fierce and powerful, and his knife skills are known for their strength and might. In times of war, he single-handedly retreated hundreds of bandits and defended a neighborhood, which is really admirable."
"I didn't expect that Brother Wei Chi is not a person from the rivers and lakes, but he knows more about the rivers and lakes than me, a person who has been wandering in the rivers and lakes for several years." Ye Qingshu was surprised when he heard that Yu Chisong was like a treasure to the masters on the rivers and lakes, would he know about me and Lan'er? He suddenly felt that he was very funny, how could he have a master and they were famous, but he was just a nobody, how could he be in the eyes of others.
"Ye Daxia is polite, I didn't expect that Brother Ye was such a simple person, and his speech and demeanor were much more elegant than my brother's, but had he ever read some poetry books?"
Seeing this, Ye Qingshu was clearly using his own words. This is obviously a Hongmen banquet, Ye Qingshu got up and said, "Thank you Prince Xia for your hospitality." It's not too early, and if you don't eat meat and fish, it will inevitably sweep away everyone's interest, so don't say goodbye to it. We'll do that later. Just as he was about to say the word "period". But Xia Qizheng held his hand down and said: "Hey, Ye Daxia, why be so anxious, we can replace wine with tea and order more vegetarian dishes." ”
Ye Qingshu suppressed the displeasure in his heart and had to sit down slowly.
Xia Qizheng said with a smile: "Brother Ye, do you know that the mountains and forests that are lost today are the hermitages of Lin Changxuan, who is as famous as your master. ”
"I don't know." Ye Qingshu replied casually.
"I heard that his daughter is beautiful and the country is captivating, do you want to go with me tomorrow to have a look?"
Ye Qingshu was stunned and didn't know how to deal with it for a while. What did he mean by that? Could it be that he already knows Lan'er's whereabouts? No, he was just attacked today, how could he learn the whereabouts of the Lin family so quickly. However, if he is really the emperor, he may already have a clue about Lan'er. At this time, two voices kept appearing in his heart, and one voice said: This must be their strategy, don't be fooled, even if it is the emperor, it is impossible to know Lan'er's whereabouts so quickly. Another voice said: He is the current emperor, how can I imagine the power he has, if he really knows Lan'er's whereabouts, even if it is fake, he should try, otherwise I am like looking for a needle in a haystack, how to find Lan'er. If you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger! Ye Qingshu made up his mind and said, "It's okay, I want to see it." ”
Xia Qizheng laughed after hearing this, and said, "Since this is the case, Ye Daxia will stay." I'll arrange for an upper room right away. How about you and I go with you tomorrow? Ye Qingshu pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.
That night, Xia Qizheng arranged for Ye Qingshu to live next door to Wei Chisong. After settling Ye Qingshu, Xia Qizheng called Wei Chisong to his westernmost guest room.
"Sit." Xia Qizheng sat on a wooden chair, holding a teacup in his hand and didn't mean to drink.
"Yes." Wei Chisong sat respectfully on the chair on his left hand.
"I'll give you three things, the first is to check the Nanshan Dao Su Xiao; Second, go to the south to find a place called Plum Garden and check it out; The third thing is that Wei Gongxun secretly spies on Ye Qingshu. ”
"Are you afraid that Ye Qingshu will run away at night?"
"It's not impossible. Look at his posture just now, if it weren't for the fear of my identity, I'm afraid he would make a move, and you wouldn't be able to stop him. ”
"Young Master Mingjian."
"You're doing a good job, and you didn't take his word for it again."
"Forgive Weichen for his courage, how can I find out this plum garden?"
"A place he mentioned during the casual conversation, from the description, is roughly in the south, and you can arrange for someone to go there."
"Yes."
"What do you think of Ye Qingshu."
"It's not an ordinary recklessness, and it's definitely not just passing by."
"Maybe it has something to do with Lin Xianglan."
"Ah, this! Where did the young master know? ”
"I'm just guessing. When Lin Changxuan was mentioned, he replied casually, but when Lin Xianglan was mentioned, he clearly replied after thinking. Moreover, he could have refused, but he agreed. I don't think he will run away tonight, but will go with us to see Lin Xianglan. So I didn't mention anything about the Lin family after that, deliberately hanging his appetite. ”
"The young master is clever, but you already know Lin Xianglan's whereabouts?"
"Haha, how would I know?"
"And where are we going tomorrow?"
"Of course, it's to go to Guiyunzhuang, it's just an expedient measure. As soon as the Imperial Forest Army arrives tomorrow, there is no need to beware of Ye Qingshu, when the time comes, take him down, you can ask whatever you want, what do you say? ”
"The young master is wise."
"But you still have to take precautions, so immediately go and let Wei Gongxun spy on him."
"Yes."
"Let's go down." Xia Qizheng took a sip of tea, found that the tea was already cold, and put the teacup aside.
"Yes." Yu Chisong retreated to the door, was gently opened by the hand behind him, stepped backwards over the threshold, and slowly closed the door. Turning around and walking forward softly, he said in his heart: The emperor is young, but he does things so well, the Western Zhou Dynasty will definitely be able to pacify the Eastern Qi and unify the country. But the emperor is so urban, but he feels frightened, and he is like a tiger, probably this is the feeling. Yu Chisong smiled bitterly and pushed open the door of Wei Gongxun's room.
Ye Qingshu sat on the sandalwood chair in his guest room, thinking about what happened today. He was worried about Lin Xianglan, he didn't know where she was now, whether she was okay, and he wondered what was or who could make Guiyunzhuang empty. And who is this Xia Qizheng, if he is the emperor, whether the disappearance of the Lin family has anything to do with him. Will I really be able to see Lan'er tomorrow? Questions kept popping up in my head, but none of them could give answers.
Ye Qingshu stood up and opened the window opposite. The cool breeze of late autumn rushed to his face, which did not make him think more clearly, but made him only have Lin Xianglan's figure in his mind. He remembered the first time he saw Lin Xianglan, it was very hot that day, and he accidentally lost his way in the bamboo forest. Suddenly, the melodious sound of the piano sounded in his ears, like a clear spring under the summer afterglow, he followed the sound, and planned to leave the bamboo forest with this, but he didn't want to see a girl dressed in white. The girl's face was ruddy, her slender fingers were playing with the melody, and Ye Qingshu stood in the bamboo forest, quietly looking at Lin Xianglan in her mind. Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed in front of his eyes, interrupting his memories.
Ye Qingshu looked fixedly, not alone! I saw three black shadows fall together in the courtyard, tiptoe on the roof, and climb onto another roof. Ye Qingshu was quite surprised, good skills! This costume is very similar to the people who attacked Xia Qizheng today. He didn't think much of it, and immediately flew out, tapping the window door with his left foot and closing it.
Wei Gongxun in the next room heard the sound, and his heart was overjoyed, if you really want to run, I want to see how you are. Immediately set off and followed.
The moonlight shone on the face of a dark shadow, and it was Yang Siyi, who attacked Guiyunzhuang a few days ago. In the past few days, he has been looking for the whereabouts of the Lin family, but without any news or clues, he has already ordered the legs of the three people who let go of the carriage be broken and let them roll back to their team.
Today, when I heard that the ambush of the mountain villa failed again, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart. At night, he took Zhu Fei and another chubby man in black to the temporary base in the city to report the situation, and also inquired about who had sabotaged such a well-thought-out plan today.
The three black clothes rose and fell three times in a row, and they were already far away from the inn, and they didn't notice that Ye Qingshu was following behind them. Three men in black leaped over the eaves, and after passing through several streets and alleys, they landed in a courtyard with a date palm tree. The fat man in black picked a few dates and followed the other two into the house.
Ye Qingshu fell softly behind the jujube tree and slowly moved to the window. The inside was brightly lit and the window paper was brightly lit. Ye Qingshu jumped up, came to the roof, and gently removed the roof tiles above, only revealing a little gap, and when he saw it clearly, he found that the slightly chubby person was He Yinqing!
Yang Siyi, Zhu Fei and He Yinqing sat on the wooden chair on the left, and Yang Siyi hugged his fists at the person sitting in the center and said, "Lord Tian." ”
He Yinqing said with a smile: "Brother Bingzhi, don't come to harm." "I chewed the dates I had just picked in my mouth.
Tian Bingzhi got up and said with a smile: "Brother Wang Jian, you are not welcome. ”
Ye Qingshu on the roof was shocked, He Yinqing was not his real name! Wei Gongxun was hiding in the distance and secretly monitoring Ye Qingshu, he saw Ye Qingshu following the man in black to this place, he was very curious about what the man in black was talking about. Wei Gongxun slowly approached the hut where they were sitting, and slowly fell into the courtyard, little by little, approaching the window.
Tian Bingzhi pointed to the person sitting on the right hand and said, "This is General Wu Sitong Wu." Wu Sitong stood up and bowed deeply to Wang Jian, who nodded. Wu Sitong sat back in his seat and ignored Yang Siyi. Yang Siyi stopped Zhu Fei behind him with his hand and shook his head gently.
Wang Jian smiled and sat on Tian Bingzhi's left hand side, and Yang Siyi and Zhu Fei sat down in turn.
Tian Bingzhi looked around at everyone, and then his eyes fell on Yang Siyi and said, "So, you only killed Lin Changxuan?" And then let his children run away? Ye Qingshu was shocked: It's them! They actually killed Uncle Lin! Ye Qingshu felt hot all over, and he restrained his already trembling hands. Fortunately, Lin Xianglan escaped, if he hadn't heard the second half of the sentence, I'm afraid Ye Qingshu would have broken the roof and rushed down at this time.
"The last general is incompetent, please punish him." Yang Siyi hugged his fists.
"Don't blame General Yang, Lin Changxuan's martial arts are strong, I didn't expect that there were only two of you left in the Black Feather Thirteen Demons."
"Hmph." Wu Sitong said contemptuously: "What thirteen evils, so many people can't catch two girls and a stinky boy." ”
"Phew! It's not your people who let them go! You still have the face to say that others, more than 100 of you, actually let a kid from an unknown origin save Xia Qizheng! Zhu Fei slapped the chair and got up, and Yang Siyi dragged him back to the chair.
"What do you mean by a boy from an unknown source, it's clear that they came to the rescue!" Not to be outdone, Wu Sitong raised his voice.
"Rescuers? Two people are also considered rescuers? Zhu Fei said indignantly.
"General Zhu, those two people are really powerful, they are both masters of the Royal Forest Army, and it is normal that they will fail." Wang Jian quipped.
"What do you mean? It's not that you haven't held them back. Wu Sitong was afraid to hit the chair hard, and the corner of the chair was broken.
"Shut up! Brother Wang Jian is the helper invited by the king of Pingxi, you are the oldest! Tian Bingzhi said sternly, Wu Sitong stopped talking, and said resentfully in his heart, he was just a diner of King Pingxi, an old thing on the rivers and lakes.
Tian Bingzhi said to General Yang: "General Yang, you continue to track down the whereabouts of the three members of the Lin family. ”
"Yes." Yang Siyi hugged his fists.
"And you, stop all activities and wait for my orders." Tian Bingzhi turned his head and said to Wu Sitong.
"Yes"
Wang Jian drank the tea on the table next to him and said, "I don't know what Lord Tian plans to do next?" ”
"I didn't expect that the plan we had been planning for so long didn't have a good result, but Seon didn't know if it was a blessing."
"Oh? How do you say this, and please advise you? He listened with interest.
"Our initial plan was to kill all the people who returned to Yunzhuang, and then press them for killing Xia Qizheng. However, although three people have run away now, it is easier to believe that it was Guiyunzhuang's people who attacked Xia Qizheng, and after the attack failed, he absconded in fear of crime. They are accused of such rebellion. ”
Hearing this, Ye Qingshu trembled with anger. What a vicious strategy!
"Who!" Wang Jian shouted, Ye Qingshu was shocked, and just wanted to retreat quickly, but saw Wang Jian tap his feet on the floor, jumped forward with his strength, and charged his right palm with one palm, slamming through the window. Before Ye Qingshu could react, he saw Wei Gongxun being dragged by Wang Jian and dragged in.
"Haha, I didn't expect us to have guests." Wang Jian laughed and looked at Wei Gongxun in his hand, Wei Gongxun glared angrily. He had just approached the window and saw that there was Yin Qing inside, and when he heard him and others talking about killing the emperor and framing Lin Changxuan, he was angry for a while, and his breath was disordered, but he didn't expect to be noticed by him!
Wei Gongxun only felt that his chest was scratched and hurt, and He Yinqing, who was usually lazy and greedy, actually had this strength! He couldn't exert any strength for a while, but he was unforgiving, and scolded: "You madman, you dare to murder the emperor!" Bah! A mouthful of thick phlegm spit out, but Wang Jian easily dodged it.
"Hahaha, I didn't expect it, when did Xia Qizheng suspect me?"
Wei Gongxun glared at Wang Jian and secretly performed his work. Wang Jian naturally wouldn't give him a chance, and slapped him in the chest, shaking Wei Gongxun away, Wang Jian immediately stepped forward and grabbed Wei Gongxun's chest, Wei Gongxun spit blood, and his chest hurt more than just now.
"Say! Does Xia Qizheng already know my identity? ”
Wei Gongxun was silent and glared at Wang Jian.
"Don't say it!? Then don't blame me for being ruthless! As he spoke, Wang Jian broke Wei Gongxun's right arm with a palm, Wei Gongxun screamed, and beads of sweat the size of beans slipped down his face, but he still stared at Wang Jian.
"It's a man! Then I will fulfill you! As he spoke, he raised his left palm and slapped it towards Wei Gongxun's head.
"Stop!" Ye Qingshu slapped a palm down from the roof, borrowing gravity, and the speed was extremely fast. Wang Jian rushed to the head to make the wind, instinctively let go of the right hand that grabbed Wei Gongxun, and retreated.
Ye Qingshu slapped his palm on the ground, and took advantage of the situation to stand firmly. Behind him, Wei Gongxun's face was red and purple for a while, and he shouted, "Why save me!" I don't need you to save me! ”
Ye Qingshu smiled bitterly and did not turn his head to look at him. Instead, he looked at Wang Jian in front of him.
"It's him!" Wu Sitong saw that it was Ye Qingshu, and his face was angry: "Lord Tian, it is he who has ruined our good deeds. Tian Bingzhi saw Ye Qingshu, a trace of confusion brushed his face, fleeting.
"Brother Wang? What's his name? Do you know? ”
"Ye Qingshu, we just had dinner together." Wang Jian said with a smile. Tian Bingzhi was in a trance for a while, it turned out to be him! But he immediately stabilized his emotions and said, "Have you ever heard anything?" ”
"It's nothing, I just know that he is Su Xiao's apprentice, that's all."
"Nanshan Dao Su Xiao!" Yang Siyi got up from his seat, and everyone surrounded Ye Qingshu and Wei Gongxun. Ye Qingshu couldn't help but retreat, until Wei Gongxun's side, Wei Gongxun endured the pain and barely stood up. The five people on the other side, even if they are stubborn, they also know in their hearts that this time there is more luck and less luck, I just hope that this Ye Qingshu is really as Brother Wei Chi said, martial arts are above me, and there may be a glimmer of life.
Wang Jian slowly stepped forward step by step and said, "Brother Tian, what to do with them?" ”
Tian Bingzhi was silent, as if he was thinking about countermeasures. Wang Jian can't wait that long, if Wei Gongxun escapes, his identity will really be exposed.
"In my opinion, kill them!" As soon as Wang Jian's voice fell, he was already palmed. Tian Bingzhi took a step forward and immediately retreated, Wu Sitong had already wanted to kill Ye Qingshu, and took a step forward, Wang Jian glared at him, and Wu Sitong hurriedly shrank back.
Ye Qingshu held his breath and concentrated, and the appropriate king made a move, and it was known that this person was deeply hidden. The two of them come and go in a small space, and the people around them can't help but retreat. The table and chair became the scapegoat when the move failed to hit the other party, Wang Jian made a ruthless move, and had already broken four chairs, Ye Qingshu dodged left and right, and resolved his offensive with one move at a time, but he never left Wei Gongxun too far. Wei Gongxun saw that Ye Qingshu intended to protect himself, he was ashamed and angry, seeing that Ye Qingshu was slowly at a disadvantage, he only had the ability to parry but had no power to fight back, and he wanted to cut off his right arm with a knife.
Ye Qingshu didn't expect this fake He Yinqing's martial arts to be so good, every move can be temporarily turned into a palm technique, and every palm move can be turned into a fist method in time. A simple straight punch, which suddenly turned into a palm technique in mid-air, hit Ye Qingshu's chest, Ye Qingshu's throat was salty, and he took a few steps back. As soon as he hesitated, Wang Jian's rain-like fist hit Ye Qingshu's body directly, Ye Qingshu suddenly felt that he was beaten by dozens of iron rods at the same time, the soles of his feet were weak, and he sat down beside Wei Gongxun.
Wang Jian laughed and said: "The kid's martial arts are good, he can pick me up dozens of moves, Su Xiao didn't teach you in vain." Yu Chi Xiao'er is right, Su Xiao and the four are indeed the strongest today, but there are also dozens of masters in the rivers and lakes, and they are just between them. Looking at Wang Jian's demeanor, he is clearly talking about himself. He walked up to Ye Qingshu and said with a sneer: "Boy, remember, the name of the person who killed you, wait until the Netherworld, and see your master crying to him." As he spoke, Wang Jian raised his right fist and hit it hard!
