During the chat, Li Shengxi and Zhong Quan inadvertently mentioned to him, saying that Long Shao and Zhu Zhengyu had a deep friendship with each other, and they had never quarreled in the past. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

That Zhong Quan said a little mysteriously: "Gongzi used to be in officialdom, and he must have heard that there are often people who take pills to nourish their lives among high-ranking officials and nobles?" Qiu Yinming's eyes showed doubts, and he nodded silently. Listening to Zhong Quan again, "Hey, the owner of the village is also interested in these." Two or three years ago, I took advantage of the absence of the old sect master to quietly invite a Taoist priest to come to alchemy. was known by the second owner, not only turned his face with him, but also beat the Taoist priest into a cripple. ”

When Qiu Yinming heard this, although he was a little surprised in his heart, he was also secretly complacent, pressed a smile that floated on his lips, and pretended to be serious: "Since ancient times, the so-called panacea of alchemists has mostly deceived the world and stolen fame, and even worse, it harms people invisibly. The second owner of the village is a person who understands. If the owner of Zhu Zhuang is obsessed with this thing, he really needs someone to mention it. As he spoke, he suddenly remembered the medicinal material business mentioned when he was traveling with Long Shao and Zhang Tianyi a few days ago, and suddenly understood a little more, so he asked: "But I don't know, is this conflict a similar reason?" ”

The two looked at each other for a moment, and Li Shengxi said: "Don't hide it from the son, we really don't know the inside story." I only vaguely heard the dispute, and it seemed that the second owner found something in the owner's room and refused to return it to the owner. ”

At first, Qiu Yinming hadn't paid too much attention to the medicinal herb business, but he knew that Zhu Zhengyu and Long Shao had turned their faces over these things one after another, and he couldn't help but think about it again, maybe he might use this matter to make Long Shao and Zhang Tianyi have a deeper relationship, but it is unknown. Moreover, he has fully understood Zhu Zhengyu's situation recently, Zhu Zhengyu was originally a bold and righteous person, and he was caught in this sinister and unscrupulous battle between the rivers and lakes, which could not help himself, which inevitably made him feel a little compassionate. So he said to Li and Zhong: "This matter is not a big deal, but it is not too peaceful at the moment, so don't make a big deal about it." ”

On the evening of the same day, Qiu Yinming met Zhu Zhengyu and Long Shao successively, perhaps because he was here, everything was as usual on their faces. When asked about Qiu Yun, the two of them invariably showed puzzled looks. Listening to Zhu Zhengyu, Qiu Yun drank a few more cups during the meal and felt sleepy, so he rested at Zhang Tianyi's place. It is indeed a bit strange to say, in the past few days, Qiu Yun has retreated several times and talked to Zhang Tianyi in private, which made Long Shao quite dissatisfied. Qiu Yun has always been the closest to Long Shao, and he had never hidden anything from him before, but this trip to Hangzhou seemed to give him a hard blow. first concealed the past, and now he is behind his back and others don't know what to plan.

After Qiu Yinming heard his narration, he was relieved: "Most of them are talking about business livelihoods and the like, Zhu Zhuang has been in bad spirits recently, and you are not interested in it, so I told my father." Suddenly, a thought came to mind, and then asked: "In the past few days, have you seen any bad deeds of Zhang Tianyi?" ”

"I didn't see it. Not in the mood. Long Shao's face was still unhappy.

"Why don't I go to town tonight and see what they're up to?" Qiu Yinming looked sideways tentatively.

"You?" Long Shao will be skeptical.

"Father, he didn't know that I had been here, so I thought it was my whim to go to the city to meet them and have some fun. I'm going now, and when the night is dark, I won't be able to get out. ”

Night is approaching, and the moon is rising in the east. Without waiting for Long Shao to say anything, Qiu Yinming patted him on the shoulder and said, "That's it." I must find out this trick of Tianyi. You know this matter, I know, as for Master Zhu, I won't bother him for the time being. Before turning around, he smiled at Long Shao again, and said with a knowing face: "The matter of the owner, you are right to admonish." I'll help you with some tips when I get the chance. Also, don't keep your thoughts on your face, if Zhang Tianyi knows about it, won't you fall behind. ”

Long Shao clenched his fists, had nothing to say, and stared at him and walked away cleanly.

After nightfall, there is not much difference between Yangzhou downtown and other big towns in the south of the Yangtze River, the same traffic is busy, and sheng sings all night. When Qiu Yinming dismounted at the door of the Tongfu Inn where Zhang Tianyi lived, he saw the hustle and bustle of the night market in front of the inn, and the smoke of the steamer and woks in the row of supper shops on the street was rising, and the people who carried and sold tea and sweet soup went back and forth, as well as those who had pedicures and ears, those who shaved their heads, people came and went, and business was booming.

Qiu Yinming was secretly wondering to himself, this inn was so ordinary, and the surroundings were so noisy, it was a shame that his father was willing to stay overnight. Unexpectedly, the attendant who was at the door recognized him and stepped forward to invite him in.

Entering the inn, looking up, the patio is not big, there are more than a dozen guest rooms on the second floor, the courtyard is quite clean, there are more than a dozen trucks of goods covered by oilcloths parked on the side, it is estimated that it is Zhang Tianyi's medicinal materials, so he can't help but take a few more looks. After a while, Zhang Tianyi appeared at the staircase, and when he saw that it was him, he greeted him downstairs with a smile. Qiu Yinming had a plan in his heart, and then pretended to be unhappy.

"Young Master Qiu, I heard that your old revenge has been avenged, congratulations." Zhang Tianyi strode forward and instructed his entourage: "Hurry up and prepare hot water to wash the dust for Gongzi." He said to Qiu Yinming again: "Have you ever seen the person sent by Lord Zhu Zhuang to answer you?" ”

"Well, I'll let them go back to the Zen monastery first." Qiu Yinming looked absent-minded, walked upstairs, didn't take a few steps, and called the entourage who went to ask for hot water, and said loudly: "You come back." I don't want to rest yet, what kind of water? Go, prepare a table for me and some food. He turned his head to Zhang Tianyi and said, "If Mr. Zhang doesn't dislike it, call more people to come and have a few drinks with me." ”

"I don't think Childe seems to be very happy tonight. What, what's not going to go your way? Zhang Tianyi's words were concerned and his eyes were burning.

Qiu Yinming patted the handrail of the stairs and sighed: "Unsatisfactory things, nine times out of ten, how can you say it clearly." He glanced at it, and the sorrow between his eyebrows was obvious, "Doesn't Mr. refuse to appreciate his face?" ”

Zhang Tianyi smiled and said: "Where is it, the son does not dislike it, Zhang is accompanied." It's just that ......" stepped forward and said, "The sect master, his old man is resting here, and the son doesn't know?" ”

Qiu Yinming was surprised: "Didn't my father stay in the temple on the mountain north of the city every day? He sighed again, "I was really upset today, and I didn't want to go to the temple to see me, so I changed my way to the city to relax." I heard that you have a spacious place, so I came to spend the night. Since my father is here, let me go to his old man's house first. ”

Zhang Tianyi said: "Don't worry. The old sect master is taking a nap now, and I will talk to my son first. He introduced Qiu Yinming into the main hall upstairs, and then ordered his entourage to invite Di Taifeng, Du Yu and others, who lived not far away.

At first, a few people who were invited to sit with them were a little uncomfortable, but when Qiu Yinming coldly began to shake out some of the recent movements of the Xihai Alliance that wanted to make trouble with Chunlin Villa, they were all aroused. Qiu Yinming slowly confided in the words he had thought out in advance, and frequently complained about Heng Jingzhao, the leader of the West Sea Alliance. Looking at the faces of everyone, it was very ironic that he was asking for his own hardships, which was in his arms.

When it was mentioned that the Xihai League sent people to Yangzhou to investigate, Du Yu said with a smile: "I knew that Hengjing Zhao would never give up, I have found their traces, they are all Shi Jinzhong's people, it's not a big deal." We didn't move, they were helpless, and I thought they were about to get him out of their sickness. ”

Qiu Yinming thought to himself, the two subordinates who didn't know who they were in the morning couldn't let go at this time, so he turned the conversation around and said, "The goods in the patio below, but Mr. Zhang's treasure of making money?" When Zhang Tianyi looked at him, he pretended to be drunk and talked a lot, squinted slightly, and said with a light smile: "Mr. Zhang, I heard that you have an overseas immortal prescription, which can not only cure incurable diseases, but also relieve depression, and can prolong life." But I've never heard you say it in detail, it's better to hear it in person, I don't know if you can take it out for me to see? ”

"Young Master Qiu, you've drunk too much." Zhang Tianyi's face changed slightly, but it was too late to stop the rest of the people from throwing inquiring glances at him, stroking his beard and smiling: "How can there be such an immortal prescription, I just do some medicinal material business, don't listen to rumors." ”

Qiu Yinming grabbed the words: "Mr. doesn't need to be tricky. Standing up, climbing the table with one hand, tilting his head and looking at Zhang Tianyi with a smile, he said, "Don't care what the second owner says, in fact, I'm also interested." When...... Give me a taste too? ”

The rest of the audience listened to it and became more and more curious. Zhang Tianyi's cold eyes swept Qiu Yinming's half-drunk expression, and said to the rest of the people without hesitation: "Yes, Zhang did inadvertently get some health medicine, and he was about to start concocting it according to the prescription, but it has not yet taken shape, so he has never said it to everyone." In a blink of an eye, he smiled and said to Qiu Yinming: "I didn't expect that the son was interested?" I thought that only those bureaucrats who were obsessed with lust were interested, hehehe. ”

Qiu Yinming glanced at everyone and smiled indifferently: "Why not?" ”

Pouring a cup and talking, unintentionally the night was already halfway over, and the rest of the people waited for the morning to let go of their restraints and eat and drink happily, but Zhang Tianyi seemed to be more and more unsettled, Qiu Yinming noticed it, and hurriedly used his eloquence to make him unable to find an excuse to leave. Seeing that it was nearly two watches, Zhang Tianyi resigned again, Qiu Yinming blindly retained, and even Di Taifeng, who was drunk on the side, also pulled Zhang Tianyi's sleeve and said: "Eh, this is only halfway through, why do you leave?" Let's go after that. ”

Just when Zhang Tianyi was in a dilemma, the door of the hall suddenly opened, and everyone looked together, only to see Qiu Yun standing in the center of the door, frowning, slightly angry. Zhang Tianyi immediately stepped forward and saluted: "We have disturbed the rest of the Grandmaster, and we are guilty of sin. ”

Qiu Yun waved his hand and said, "That's it." He paced forward and walked straight to Qiu Yinming.

Qiu Yinming just lowered his head and looked sideways to see his father glancing at Zhang Tianyi, the more he invented in his heart, the two of them must have unknown movements tonight, it seems that he came by coincidence! So he continued to pretend to be drunk, with a smile on his face, and made a half-bow towards Qiu Yun.

Qiu Yun's brows furrowed even deeper, and he suddenly pulled him closer by the collar, and reprimanded, "What are you doing here!" Deliberately stayed in Jiangnan until now and didn't come back, do you want to follow me or do you want to talk to someone else! ”

Cui Shan persuaded on the side: "Grandmaster, it's wrong." Childe has found out a lot about the Xihai Alliance, and he is still talking to me about it. ”

Qiu Yun glanced at Qiu Yinming, who was being held in his hand and described as tired, sighed, pushed him aside, and ordered everyone: "Disperse." Go back and rest, I want to leave tomorrow. ”

When Qiu Yinming leaned down and helped the door into the house, Yu Guang saw that Zhang Tianyi and Qiu Yun were whispering on the porch.

When he entered the house and turned off the lights, he pretended to sleep for a while, heard that there was no sound around him, sat up quickly, moved to the window by the corridor, opened a small crack, and could see that the lights in Qiu Yun's house were still there. I thought in my heart that it was too difficult for my father to eavesdrop, but if he didn't go, there was no other way. Just as he was pinching, he suddenly saw the door of the house open, Zhang Tianyi walked out of it, looked around, and walked downstairs lightly.

With a flash of inspiration, Qiu Yinming immediately climbed out of the window on the other side and climbed onto the roof. Crawling and looking down, sure enough, Zhang Tianyi came out of the inn. At this time, there were no businessmen on the street, and Zhang Tianyi's figure was clearly eye-catching. Qiu Yinming raised his breath and followed condescendingly.

After a while, I saw two figures on the corner of the street, walking briskly towards Zhang Tianyi, the night was thick, and I couldn't see my face clearly, but I must have seen a group of people with Liu Lihao a few days ago. Qiu Yinming suddenly woke up, leaned over to look, and after they exchanged information, he managed to hold the two of them. Who knows, there is no delivery, the two of them and Zhang Tianyi said a few words, and the three of them hurried towards the inn.

Don't...... Father also ......

Various assumptions suddenly appeared in his heart, but he had no time to think at this time, Qiu Yinming clenched the scabbard and continued to follow them back to the inn. Leaning down on the roof, I finally saw the faces of the people who came clearly with the help of the lights.

???????? It was the two men who crossed the river with him in the morning.

It turns out that Zhang Tianyi and Xihaimeng's correspondence has never been broken! Qiu Yinming crouched on the roof, recalling the news related to Zhang Tianyi for several months. It must be a rare coincidence that he was able to rebel against Du Yu at the beginning, but now I don't know who he has caught up with. The Xihai League sent Du Yu to assassinate him before, and Heng Jingzhao should not stop there, maybe he even sent others. Could it be that Zhang Tianyi has already escaped the two catastrophes, and then implement a joint strategy? This time, not only did he continue to communicate with the Xihai League, but even Qiu Yun had already participated in the planning. Thinking of this, my heart was shocked, and the pores all over my body were tight. There is only one person in the Xihai Alliance!

Qiu Yinming recalled the battle that night, and Huo Zhonghui was injured, and suddenly became puzzled.

Although they can't understand it at the moment, no matter what they are planning, since they know that it is an envoy sent by the Western Sea Alliance, they must not be let go back tonight. Qiu Yinming waited motionlessly.
