Chapter 229: Exposed
In the morning light, the figures of Zhou Ning and Xu Ziling came in the morning sun. The pen "Fun" Pavilion was www.biquge.info at the door of the inn, Li Xuanyi was wearing a head-catching suit, and he was standing there with an iron chain in his hand.
In this scene at the end of the Sui Dynasty, one is afraid of soldiers, two is afraid of thieves, three is afraid of cool officials, and four is afraid of catching fast, Li Xuanyi is standing here, and the people around him are all hiding far away, revealing a big no-man's land.
Zhou Ning was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Li Xuanyi to appear here, he arched his hands and walked over, and when he was about to say hello, Li Xuanyi had already opened his mouth and his voice was low.
Nakado...... He's Bi, did you steal it? ”
There was no friendship between the two parties before, but his uncle Zhou Yue had a deep friendship with Li Xuanyi and entrusted the other party to take care of him.
Zhou Yue also said before that although Li Xuanyi is upright, his temperament is a little weird. Zhou Ning was naturally not stupid enough to admit it in front of him, his mind turned sharply, and a surprised expression appeared on his face: "He's Bi was stolen?" ”
Li Xuanyi glanced at them and said with a light smile: "That's true." Half an hour ago, rumors were spreading everywhere in the Eastern Capital that the He clan had fallen into the hands of you and one of those two good friends. At this moment, everyone in the major forces in Luoyang is gearing up and vowing to take the treasure from you. Now there are only six doors that can protect you. ”
Zhou Ning and Xu Ziling glanced at each other covertly, and they couldn't react for a while. But at this time, my heart suddenly cooled down.
The loss of the treasure of the Jingnian Zen Monastery only happened last night, if it weren't for the people of the Zen Monastery who deliberately leaked the news, how could it be known in the streets. He had heard his uncle say that Li Xuanyi has always been true to his word, and if he has one thing to say, presumably there will be no falsehood in this matter.
Both of them are awe-inspiring in their hearts, but they are both calm people by nature, although their hearts are overturned, they do not show the slightest clue on their faces.
Xu Ziling made a look of laughter at this time, and interjected knowingly: "Senior Li is really not joking?" It looks like He's really lost. “
"The old man never jokes." Li Xuanyi glanced at him and laughed with a moment of "heh". looked around, at this time, there was a crisp and loud sound of bamboo boards in the distance, and Li Xuanyi looked over there: "It's also interesting, the beggars also came to Luoyang to join in the fun." ”
Beggars? Zhou Ning naturally knew that the beggar gang was a first-class gang in the rivers and lakes, and the masters in the gang were like clouds, and in Liu Yuxi's mansion, Zhou Ning had seen the leader of the beggar gang, Wang Jiantong.
Li Xuanyi looked to the other side with a little interest, and several beggars in ragged clothes walked towards this side while playing bamboo boards and singing lotus flowers.
The leader was a tall beggar with white hair and seven sacks on his back, and at this moment he was speaking in Luoyang dialect, and after making eye contact with Zhou Ning, Xu Ziling, Li Xuanyi and others for a while, he walked in front of Li Xuanyi, playing Allegro, and singing the lotus flower falling.
"One worships the king, two worships the ministers, and three worships the lord A large number of people, if the people measure the sea and the amount is wide, the benevolence and righteousness of the Duke of Qi Huan won the world, and Linzi sat down the Duke of Qi Huan, and the minister who protected him was three thousand years old. The three-thousand-year-old man is tall and big, staring at the eyes and beard, and the son is afraid when he sees that he has fallen off the horse, and he is also afraid when he sees it......"
The beggar's allegro played fast, Li Xuanyi's robe sleeves were windless, and he just looked at the beggar quietly, and the beggar really bowed three times after singing and said with a smile: "You are always a more heroic character than three thousand years old, pity and pity me, a lonely and helpless old beggar, hero." ”
Li Xuanyi looked at the old beggar quietly, and only after a while did he say "hmm" and throw over a piece of broken silver. The old beggar bowed again, and walked into the inn with a lotus flower.
Glancing at the back of the old beggar, Li Xuanyi said lightly: "Calculate the time, it's almost time for the beggar gang conference, every September every year, there are a lot of flowers." ”
Zhou Ning nodded, in this plane, September 19 is Guanyin Bodhisattva ordination day, people believe that on this day to beggars, do good deeds and accumulate virtue will get a lot of blessings, so it attracted many beggars around to Luoyang to line up to beg, which formed the annual "Flower Meeting". Over time, every year on the 19th day of the ninth lunar month, it has become a rumored beggar gang meeting.
Li Xuanyi paused and looked at Zhou Ning: "This is not a place to talk, let's go, let's talk while walking." ”
patted the dust on his body, walked out of the inn, and walked towards the royal road not far ahead.
Zhou Ning and Xu Ziling glanced at each other, and had no choice but to follow.
It had just rained, and water was dripping from the eaves on both sides of the road. From time to time, galloping knights or beggars on crutches hurried through the streets, their hooves splashing over the stagnant water.
Li Xuan walked in front without touching the ground, and said, "Don't be disgusted Zen Master himself said that the three of you had been to the Jingnian Zen Monastery before losing the treasure. And, Nakado, even though you wear a mask, your body is recognizable to others. ”
Zhou Ning's heart was terrified, fortunately, the other party did not have real evidence, and now the only plan was to grit his teeth, deny it, shake his head and sigh: "Uncle Li Shi, who did you listen to?" “
Li Xuanyi said lightly: "You don't have to test me again." I myself have no interest in Heshibi. The reason why I came to you is because I had a friendship with the Empty Zen Master, and if you refuse to hand over the Heshibi, I will tell him directly. In addition, it is needless to say that I am unpredictable, the monk King Faming is a leader in Buddhism, with a lofty status, and the leader of the Luoyang Gang, Shangguan Long, and the owner of the Dugu Valve, Dugu Feng, took the lead, and this morning it was Shangguan Long and Dugu Feng who joined forces to send a martial arts post to all parties, telling the situation of the theft of He's Bi. If you still don't return the treasure by the end of tonight, they will do whatever it takes to put the three of you to death, and this is the martial arts post. ”
Li Xuanyi stretched out his hand and waved it, and shot out a martial arts post in his hand.
Zhou Ning was slightly stunned, stretched out his hand to catch it, but didn't open it, looked at Li Xuanyi, and said with a smile: "Uncle Li Mingjian, if I were really a treasure thief, I would have been able to fly high and high after I succeeded, how could I come back here and throw myself into the net?" ”
Xu Ziling on the side also nodded.
Li Xuanyi shook his head and said with a smile: "Then I don't know, the biggest problem now is that everyone knows that it is impossible to drill out of the sky a treasure thief that no one knows about." The only possibility is that one of the three of you is dressed as the treasure thief, and that treasure thief is similar to you. It doesn't make sense anywhere. But no matter what, after tonight, you will become the public enemy of the martial arts. Among the people looking for you are Shi Fei Xuan and Ning Daoqi, and the two most powerful top sects of good and evil have become your great enemies. ”
Zhou Ning smiled bitterly: "Then what can I do?" I had to fight with soldiers, and the water flooded. ”
Li Xuanyi glanced at Zhou Ning again and said with a smile: "It's good to have confidence - if that thing is really in your hands, we can make a deal." ”
"Deal?" Zhou Ning looked at Li Xuanyi with some doubts.
Li Xuanyi said lightly: "If you are willing to hand over the Heshi Bi to the six doors and dedicate it to the emperor, I can use all my manpower and material resources to ensure that you are safe and sound. ”
Xuan looked at Zhou Ning again and said, "He's extraordinary treasure is something that no one wants to have, but they will never be stupid enough to steal." Although it is the most famous treasure of all time, its true value lies in its historical significance and symbolism. Only when Concubine Xuan officially hands over He's Bi to you, can He's Bi play its true role. ”
Xuan was surprised: "You can't be stupid enough to want to rebel, right?" ”
"Uncle Li Shi laughed......" Zhou Ning smiled bitterly: "But the fact is that He's Bi is really not in my hands." ”
He couldn't have said this more sincerely, He's Bi had long since turned into ashes and ceased to exist, so it was really not in his hands.
Li Xuanyi stared at him for a long time, as if he was distinguishing the truth of his words, and sighed for a moment before he sighed: "Believe it or not, in short, your trouble will not be small." Yes, you must remember not to underestimate Shi Fei Xuan, she may be the most outstanding martial arts master in the Central Plains martial arts after Ning Daoqi, and she has long been out of the hidden dragon list and ranked above the ground list. In addition, if it is not necessary, don't hurt the people of Dugu Valve. Heh, there are a few big monsters in the Dugu Valve that no one wants to mess with. In addition to You Chuhong and Dugu Sword on the bright side, there is also the great god of Dugu seeking defeat. Do not try to flee either, for if you do, you will admit that you stole it. ”
Zhou Ning smiled bitterly, how to answer for a while.
Li Xuanyi was silent for a moment before he sighed: "There is another thing, Hengkong Muye seems to be very interested in you. I have already sent you a war letter last night, and if you send someone to deliver the war letter later, you had better not shirk and accept it. The emperor is also very concerned about this matter, the emperor is the person who loves face the most, before Yuwen Valve's Yu culture and lost to Hengkong Makino, has made him very unhappy, if you can win Hengkong Makino, for him to show off, it will be good for your future, maybe you can take advantage of the situation to get through the difficulties. ”
"Thank you Uncle Li Shi for your advice." Zhou Ning nodded thoughtfully and agreed.
After a while, after the explanation, Li Xuanyi glanced at Zhou Ning deeply, flicked his sleeves, and went quietly.
After making sure that Li Xuanyi had gone away, Zhou Ning and Xu Ziling glanced at each other and sighed in unison.
Xu Ziling said in a low voice: "Things are a little bad, from now on, the three of us had better not be separated again, I'll go to Wang Shichong to find Zhong Shao, you be careful alone." ”
Seeing Xu Ziling's figure disappear at the corner of the street, Zhou Ning turned around and was about to walk towards the inn, when suddenly, he heard several hurried footsteps in the distance, and then the sound of the weapon unsheathed, which sounded violently.
Zhou Ning turned around, not far away, his hurried footsteps stepped over the puddle, splashing a splash, and on the other side of his vision, several railings on the road were smashed and flew in the air, Xiang Zhuang, Zhong Liwu and Long He sneered and came over to this side.
