Let's say that after Zhao Ying left, Qiu Yinming remembered that last night Long Shao said that he wanted to leave him in the village, so it was better to be one step ahead of him and take the initiative to make friends with the owner of the village, first, to test the words and deeds of the owner of Zhu Zhuang openly, and secondly, to confuse their speculation. The www.biquge.info narrow victory over Long Shao in the martial arts arena the day before yesterday had already made the old sect master look at him differently, presumably without any evidence, even if they suspected it, as long as they kept quiet, they probably wouldn't make a move. But for now, time is running out and the purpose of coming here must be achieved as soon as possible. Chunlin Villa has a lot of connections in this area, and it must not take long to find out his identity, and then it will be troublesome.

The old sect master was in a surprisingly good mood since he let go of Hengyu yesterday, and made an exception to announce that this time he would open the mountain, and he would be willing to give advice to anyone who wanted to come to ask for advice. At this time, the school field was very lively, and in the depths of the villa, the owner of Zhu Zhuang was restless.

The door was empty, and it was a cool and sunny autumn day outside the window, and Zhu Zhengyu couldn't feel comfortable, walked back and forth around the desk for an unknown number of times, and read yesterday's letter word for word several times. The last time Long Shao and the chief manager went to Gong'an County to meet with the leaders of the Xihai Alliance, Zhang Tianyi had met with them. Due to the fact that the helmsman of the Qingliu Club was picked not long ago, after that, Zhang Tianyi hid in a courtyard by the lake with the second and third masters. It is believed that the Xihai League sent killers to find his whereabouts, and he is now forced to hide in the mansion of Li Ju, the commander of the capital. When Zhang Tianyi came to take refuge, Zhu Zhengyu felt that this person had a lot of means, and sure enough, within a few years, these big and small officials were properly handled by him, and the annual profit he gave to Chunlin Villa was also doubled every year. This year, there have been several cases of extermination in the north, all of which were committed by the Xihai League in search of revenge. Zhang Tianyi was the culprit back then, and this time he was also dodged by him, which is really admirable, but it is also reassuring.

Zhang Tianyi actually said in the letter that he heard that the owner of the village was from a clan, but he didn't know if it was true, and asked the owner to explain in the letter. Where is this asking, it's just blackmailing! Relying on his friendship with all the officials now, if he reveals a rumor and attracts the imperial court to really send someone to investigate, he can make Chunlin Villa a catastrophe. It can be said that his origin, except for the attendants who came from the palace, only the old sect master, Long Shao and Di Taifeng knew in the villa, how could this wind blow into Zhang Tianyi's ears? Zhu Zhengyu now regrets a little, didn't say a word about taking him in, whether he led the wolf into the house.

The tricky things come one after the other. Last time, he was captured by the Xihai League, but fortunately, there was a master in charge, and he had to reveal his identity a little, so the Xihai League was willing to come to repair. I thought that this was the end of the matter, but a governor who had dealings with the Xihai League came out, and this person was likely to be the extraordinary Flying Tiger Village owner the day before yesterday, so people didn't know what to do.

Zhu Zhengyu sighed, sat on the chair, drank a few sips of herbal tea, and felt irritable. On the one hand, he was worried that the imperial court had really heard of it, and on the other hand, he was uneasy about the idea of his second brother Long Shao. Yesterday, Long Shao and Di Taifeng came to discuss, and Long Shao actually said on the spot that while there was no change in the incident, he should call people to kill the owner of the Flying Tiger Village, whether he was the governor or not, there would be trouble if this person stayed. Zhu Zhengyu immediately objected, if he was really the governor who had dealings with the Xihai League, and now the people of the Xihai League were also here, if he missed it, if he really killed the governor, it would be out of control. When he saw the letter yesterday, he should have sent a messenger to summon the chief steward, and he should have counted the hour. Thinking of this, he stood up again and kept wandering.

Suddenly, someone came to report, and the owner of the Flying Tiger Village asked to see him.

Zhu Zhengyu was taken aback, and hurriedly set up tea in the outer hall to entertain first, while he sat quietly for a while, calmed down, slightly straightened the crown belt, put the letter away and hid it in his arms, and then walked out quickly.

Qiu Yinming saw the owner of the Zhuang Zhuang coming out of the inner hall with a kind smile, got up and said respectfully: "The owner of the village, I came uninvited, and there is a lot of disturbance. Zhu Zhengyu returned the courtesy: "Where is it." The despicable man was unwell earlier this day, so he did not go out. Huh? Isn't the old sect master now arguing with everyone in the school field? Why doesn't the owner of the hill go there? ”

The two sat down, and Qiu Yinming said: "Don't hide it from the owner, I came this time and asked for something." I didn't have the opportunity to meet in person in the past two days, and today everyone is talking about martial arts, so I can talk to the owner alone. ”

Seeing his sincerity, Zhu Zhengyu became more and more puzzled in his heart, and with a little caution, he smiled and asked: "Zhu has no talent, relying on the support of his colleagues, it is just a bit of a false reputation." The owner of the hill village said that if there is anything that can help, I will do my best. ”

Qiu Yinming hurriedly said: "The owner doesn't have to be so modest. I do have some difficulties, knowing that Chunlin Villa is the most famous, and the owner may be able to show me the way. He was not polite, and continued straight to the point: "Although I have been debuting for a long time, I have been wandering north and south for several years, and I have no intention of living in the same place for a long time. The Jingzhou area is indeed a good place to live. However, the Flying Tiger Village and the Qingliu Society have been married, and since I have decided to be their village master, of course I don't want to make a feud with the big gang as soon as I come. I heard that Zhang Da Dangjia of the Qingliu Society has a good relationship with the owner of the village, I don't know if I can ask the owner of the village to come forward, or send someone to convey it, or write a letter to explain to Zhang Dangjia that I want to repair it with him face to face. ”

Zhu Zhengyu said with a little embarrassment: "I understand what the owner of the village means. But recently, the Qingliu Society has a grudge with the Xihai Alliance, and you also know the strength of the Xihai Alliance, Zhang Dangjia temporarily disbanded the headquarters in order to avoid the limelight, and I don't know where to live temporarily. In this way, why don't the owner of the village stay here for a little longer, and when I have news of him, I will help you arrange it. The old sect master told me yesterday that he had several encounters with the master of the village master, and he wanted to talk to you another day. ”

Qiu Yinming said: "Since that's the case. It's good. However, my cottage has just had an accident not long ago, and people's hearts are unstable, and I can't leave for too long. It doesn't hurt to stay for a few days. ”

The two continued to talk seemingly casually for a moment. Qiu Yinming asked about the details of the Qingliu Club several times, although he also had some situations, but it could be seen that Master Zhu Zhuang spoke carefully and deliberately circumvented him. I knew that it was not good to say more, so it was better to accept it when I saw it, sat down for two cups of tea, and got up to say goodbye.

About three o'clock after dinner that day, Chen Baisheng and Qiao San came back. The two of them were in a hurry, their clothes and shoes were covered with mud, and they kept rushing back from Yiling. After entering the door and taking a breath of relief, the two of them told Qiu Yin in detail about the before and after of the trip. Sure enough, as expected, the two sneaked into the palace of the county king, searched everywhere, and found no trace of the county king, only the princess and two children lived in the mansion. But what was very surprising was that when the two of them searched the front yard of the palace, a messenger suddenly came in through the door. They hurriedly followed, and heard the messenger call the receiver the chief steward. When the chief manager saw the letter, his face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly instructed his entourage to leave tomorrow before dawn. The two discussed it and decided to follow him. Who knows, I followed all the way and found that the manager was coming to Chunlin Villa.

After finishing the details, Chen Baisheng asked, "My lord, what should I do next?" Qiu Yinming said: "To tell you the truth, they already suspect that I am the governor and want to keep me here for a few more days." I haven't done anything to me yet, but don't do anything for the time being, and let's do something when the opportunity arises. After thinking about it, he said, "I'm going to meet the people of the Xihai Alliance tonight, maybe they have something else to discover." ”

That evening, time passed very slowly. Chen and Qiao were running around all day, both of them were impatient and tired, and went to bed early. Qiu Yinming wandered in the courtyard absentmindedly, sometimes wondering how to deal with Chunlin Villa if he planned to attack him, sometimes missing Hengyu, and sometimes thinking that maybe some friendship with the old sect master might alleviate the immediate crisis. Thoughts are mixed, and I can't sit still.

Nearly three watches, there was no sound in the villa. Qiu Yinming waited under the corridor as promised, standing against the railing, and the night breeze was getting cooler. Fang Cai rethought the causes and consequences of this trip. Even if he can find evidence that Zhu Zhengyu is the king of Yiling County, it is not within the scope of his jurisdiction, and besides, the clan colludes with the rivers and lakes, and bribes officials to dominate one side, so unbelievable and widespread, how can it be made public? However, it is difficult to ride a tiger now, since it is difficult to find out Zhang Tianyi's traces from Zhu Zhengyu's mouth, I am afraid that I will get into trouble if I stay for a long time. On the Jingzhou side, Cao Xin may have made new progress. This time out of Beijing, he was already reckless about the consequences, and now he sees that everything behind the scenes is about to come to light, even if it is a gamble, he has to gamble.

It is still the beginning of the month, the sky is clear, and the moon is like a hook. Although the moonlight is light, the starlight is bright, and the flowers and plants outside Qingfeng Xuan are covered with a layer of light and clear light, like a veil like fog, and the smoke is curling, which is the same as the day. Yesterday it had just rained heavily, and the mountain spring was abundant, pouring down from the cliff on the side of the corridor, and the sound of water was deaf.

While pondering, he suddenly felt the shadow of the flower at the end of the corridor move slightly, and a familiar voice called softly: "Yinming." ”

Turning his head to look, I don't know when Hengyu has turned out of the corner of the wall and is walking towards him. Her lips were lined with long shoulder-length hair as black as night, her eyes were as bright as autumn water, her steps were slow, and when she came to her, she wanted to speak but seemed to not know how to speak, so she waited expectantly for him to speak.

Being looked at like this by her only makes people feel moved. Qiu Yinming stood in place and watched her approach step by step, and suddenly felt that the mustard caused by the previous accident was no longer important at this time. Seeing her full of anticipation, her heart suddenly stretched, so she didn't hesitate to speak, reached out to hold her arms and gently hugged her in front of her and said: "Last time, I provoked Lingzun to be angry, so I can only say goodbye without saying goodbye, I have been very sorry not to go, and I don't know how you are doing, I often miss it these days, and I finally have this opportunity to see you, it's really, very good." ”

A shallow smile floated from the corner of his mouth to his eyebrows, and Hengyu lowered his head slightly and said, "Me too." ”

The night breeze blew through the corridor, blowing a few strands of hair on her forehead to her face. "I've seen Uncle Zhao today. I understand what you mean. Qiu Yinming raised his hand to help her brush her hair back, and his hand stayed on her cheek. I've wronged you so much. It's all my fault. But right now, I can't do anything about it. It's not that I don't want to, it's that I don't dare to say it. Fingers ran lightly over her jaw and said, "Just act as if nothing happened, okay?" ”

His silhouette was not in the shadows cast by the eaves, but he could still see a glimmer of concentration in his eyes. Hengyu hasn't spoken yet. She liked his gaze, from the very beginning, and always made her want to be close to her without any scruples. It doesn't matter if it's wronged, it's right or wrong. The starlight was evenly sprinkled on her shoulders, and her eyes looked unusually clear and moving in the bright light. Although he didn't spit out a word, his mind was already self-evident, so why ask again. Farewell to the reunion, it is already heart-wrenching, at this moment, close to each other, uncontrollable, Qiu Yinming grabbed her waist with one hand, kissed her on the face, the wind blew towards him, every breath on the tip of her nose was a faint fragrance in her hair, which made people want to stop, and kissed her sideburns, ears, and neck along her cheeks. The shuddering kiss made her loose, and the hot blood spread from her heart. But somehow, Heng Yu suddenly came up with the scene of Lu Changqing and the owner's woman ** who inadvertently bumped into Lu Changqing and the owner of the village in the back mountain a few days ago. Now that he and he have a private meeting in the garden, isn't there much difference, and suddenly felt embarrassed, and hurriedly stretched out his arms around his neck and put his face on his shoulder.

Her strange appearance made Qiu Yinming not know why, only felt her breath fluctuate, and her neck was hugged by her and couldn't move, so she stroked her back and said gently: "What's wrong?" ”

Hengyu also shook his head and said vaguely: "It's nothing." After a long while, he slowly let go of his hand and said, "By the way, I have something to tell you." ”

Calming down a little, Qiu Yinming guessed that maybe she was too presumptuous, but she didn't refuse, it was too easy for people to think about it. However, this is also a dangerous place, so it should be reined in. He fixed his mind and said, "I have something to tell you." ”
