The next day, the sky was slightly dark, and there seemed to be a trend of mountain rain coming, but everyone knew that the old owner asked Miss Evergrande to learn martial arts, and waited at the school early in the morning. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Chen Baisheng and Qiao San rode straight to Yiling Prefecture in the early morning, Qiu Yinming came to the school field alone at this time, and just came out of the garden, he saw Duan Yunyi head-on. It turned out that the head of Wudang Cheng was invited by several other heads to the lake to drink tea early in the morning, so Duan Yunyi had nothing to do, and he was alone near the villa, and he came over early when he saw that the time for the martial arts competition was approaching.

Duan Yunyi nodded at him and said, "Why are you here?" ”

Qiu Yinming said: "Yunyi, thank you for helping me prevaricate yesterday. Seeing that there was no one nearby, Fang said: "I am patrolling Huguang and making a special trip to investigate the big case of collusion between officials and Jianghu **." Unexpectedly, this ** boss has a wide range of connections, and he is involved in Chunlin Villa, and he will find out here by touching the vine. How have you been lately? ”

Duan Yunyi smiled politely and said, "My lord is really tireless. After Miyun Castle, I went to Hangzhou with a few colleagues to ask for a trip to the Sword Pavilion, and then followed the master to cultivate in Wudang Mountain. This time, I came with the senior brother of the head of the sect to have the opportunity to meet this old sect master and ask him for advice. ”

Qiu Yinming said: "I heard that because of the Hangzhou Martial Arts Conference in January next year, people from all walks of life are bothering to prepare. Is it so important to compete for priority? ”

Duan Yunyi shook his head and smiled: "Where do you officials care about this kind of glory. I heard that you broke through yesterday and beat the second owner, which is impressive. In fact, like you, you are a famous teacher and disciple, and if you break into the rivers and lakes, you can get ahead long ago. However, everyone has their own needs. As far as you are concerned, fame may not be as good as being in a high position. ”

Qiu Yinming hesitated for a moment and said, "Yunyi, if I come this time, if something changes, it may lead to death." Although an official can borrow a little power to do something that is difficult for one person to do, he is also walking on thin ice, and there are many times when he has to go against his own will. It's far less enjoyable than walking the rivers and lakes. However, whether it is the rivers and lakes or the officialdom, it is not easy to survive, since you have taken a road, you can only see it at the end. ”

Duan Yunyi said: "Farewell to the capital, then I thought about it, maybe I blamed you for something." You and I have lived very different lives over the years, and you naturally have your own way of behaving in the world. ”

Qiu Yinming was very relieved when he heard this. It was rare for Duan Yunyi to think of this, and the two chatted calmly at this time, as if they had found some feelings from many years ago. After a while, I saw Leader Shi leading the people of the Xihai Alliance out of the garden, and an entourage behind him was carrying Heng Yuhuan's spear, but Heng Yu was missing. Shi Jinzhong walked all the way and nodded slightly with everyone, but when he walked in front of Qiu Yinming, he glared at him angrily. Qiu Yinming understood the reason in his heart, and sighed that this historical leader really had a clear distinction between love and hate, which made people feel quite cute. Just as everyone began to discuss, the old sect master and Zhu Zhuang master also slowly came out of the inner courtyard. Seeing that everyone was there, only the lack of Hengyu was there, Master Zhu Zhuang said to the old sect master: "Master, the second brother said that he accompanied Miss Evergrande to rejoice around the villa for a while, and he should come back." While he was talking, he saw Long Shao and Hengyu still walking in from the second gate, followed by Zhao Ying and his wife not far behind. Hengyu has also changed into a strong suit with wrist guards, and his hair is tied up high, showing his outstanding posture. I couldn't hear what the two were saying, Qiu Yinming only saw that Hengyu still had a polite smile on his face, and the second owner of the dragon didn't see the ruthlessness in his eyes when he fought with him yesterday, his words and deeds were gentle and impeccable, and he couldn't help but think in his heart, this person is young, but he gives people a deep feeling of the city.

Heng Yu also stepped forward to salute the old sect master and said, "Let the sect master wait for a long time, and I don't want to go." ”

The old sect master smiled: "Okay." Now that we've all arrived, how about you and I have a fight? Hengyu also saw that his face was kind, so he said: "Listen to it." However, there is one thing I want to say earlier. When it comes to bare hands, I am willing to bow to the wind, and if I can't resist it for a while, I will have to use weapons. ”

The old sect master nodded and said, "The girl is casual." ”

Everyone present stopped talking at this time, looking forward to this rare master duel with bated breath. When I looked up, I saw that the sky was dark, and there was a sound of wind in the forest from time to time, and the two of them faced each other in the field, as if they were about to touch, and the ribbon fluttering with the wind on Hengyu's head was a little dazzling. I don't know who moved the footsteps first, and in an instant, the two of them had already made their own moves. Some people standing on the sidelines have seen the old sect master practicing martial arts, but they have never seen him so fierce and swift today, changeable, and thunderous. If the old sect master's kung fu is impressive, Heng Yuhuan's skills are even more embarrassing. But seeing that she grasped the precision between advance and retreat, she attacked like a tiger in the mountains, guarding the hidden sea dragon. It's no wonder that she was able to compete with the famous one-armed Heavenly Master of the Wudang Sect in Miyun Castle. At this time, the faces of the spectators on the sidelines were different, some admired, some surprised, and some envious.

Qiu Yinming originally looked at the two people in the field very intently, and suddenly heard Duan Yunyi beside him sigh lightly: "She is such a kung fu, I'm afraid I won't be able to practice it in my life." It's really a man in vain. Qiu Yin glanced at him, only to see that he frowned slightly, his face was a little unhealed, and suddenly he thought of the glory he said, he must have been unwilling, but he had to be convinced, so he didn't say anything, and looked around at the faces of others. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, Long Shao was not at all as full of spring breeze as Fang Cai at the moment, his expression was extremely gloomy, his eyes were like knives, and there was a faint murderous aura. Qiu Yinming's heart sank, but he couldn't feel the reason, so he continued to stand and watch the battle, but he kept an eye on it, and frequently looked at Long Shao.

As Hengyu herself said, her empty-handed kung fu was much inferior to the old sect master, and after a long time, she seemed to be a little in a hurry. Suddenly, she flashed a false move, flew to the sidelines and picked up her spear, turned around and said, "Offended!" Before the words fell, the tip of the gun had arrived. With the blade in hand, it was like a flying dragon spreading its wings in an instant, breaking through the air, like a light in the sky, and the clouds dispersed and the rain fell. The old sect master exclaimed, and then his body changed, using his sleeves as blades, and he also had the power to cut through thorns and thorns between the swings, and the two suddenly fought to a draw. The old sect master fought with his bare hands, not to mention that in the face of such a ghostly and invincible marksmanship, he could still maneuver more than enough, and looking at the world, I am afraid that there will be no opponent. But at the bottom is a pair of fleshy palms, no one can say who will be the ultimate powerhouse, everyone understands that the peak duel, a little careless, the consequences are unbearable, so how many people are a little nervous.

Suddenly, I heard Long Shaolang say in a loud voice: "Master, Miss Evergrande, meet friends with martial arts, don't hurt and be angry." The two gods are amazing, I am impressed, please stop! ”

The two people in the field must have heard this, and after a move, they stopped attacking and retreated to each other. Heng Yu's chest was still heaving, and he took a few deep breaths before he calmed down, stepped forward and arched his hand to the old sect master: "Grandmaster, the junior used weapons without authorization, I hope you will forgive me." I saw that the clothes behind her back were soaked with sweat and attached to her body, and there were beads of sweat on her forehead.

The old sect master was also sweaty and wet, and he needed to breathe for a while, and then returned with a smile on his face: "The old man has not been so happy for many years. The girl's marksmanship is enough to stand out in the world. The afterlife is terrifying! ”

Qiu Yinming breathed a sigh of relief at this time, looked towards Long Shao, and saw that the gloomy color on his face had not faded, but the murderous aura had disappeared without a trace, and his eyes were staring straight at Heng Yuhuan.

In the afternoon, a heavy rain poured down, and after the rain stopped, the mountains became even more autumnal. The old sect master and Hengyu were in a particularly good mood after the discussion, so they instructed the owner to set up a banquet in the evening, and then personally accompanied Hengyu to the mountains to watch the scenery. has not had the opportunity to meet her, Qiu Yinming finally found Zhao Ying after the competition, and asked Zhao Ying to help him hand over a text message to Hengyu. It was night, and everyone drank and gathered all night. When the second watch was approaching, most of the people in the hall were slightly drunk, and suddenly a messenger ran in outside the door, delivered a letter to the owner of Zhu Zhuang, and whispered a few words to him. I saw that Master Zhu's face suddenly changed greatly, and after hesitating for a moment, he said hello to the old sect master and hurriedly went out through the side door.

Qiu Yinming saw it in his eyes. The messenger had a serious face, his clothes and hat were wet, and his boots were stained with mud and water, and he looked like he had just arrived after a long journey. I don't know what kind of important news made Master Zhu Zhuang so surprised, besides, the old sect master didn't seem to care much about this matter. He turned his eyes to look at Long Shao again, only to see that he was also puzzled. It was so strange that he really wanted to secretly go to the owner of Zhu Zhuang to find out what the news was.

The banquet will be dispersed until the third watch. When Qiu Yinming returned to his residence, the moisture invaded the bed after the rain, making it difficult for people to sleep. Chen Baisheng and Qiao San set off early in the morning, and it stands to reason that they can sneak into the county king's mansion tonight to see what is going on, if the county king is really not at home, then his guess is half right. Thinking of this, he suddenly sat up, changed into dark clothes, and sneaked out of the courtyard quietly.

The villa was very large, and he didn't know which courtyard the owner of Zhu Zhuang lived in. But last night everyone was drunk, and they were sleeping heavily at the moment, judging from the face of the owner of Zhu Zhuang Cai, something must have happened, presumably he could not sleep at the moment, if there is a light, there must be no doubt. Qiu Yinming cautiously climbed a stone cliff and looked at it, and sure enough, there were still lights in a courtyard in the forest, so he didn't care about the mud after the rain, and hid in the shadows of the trees and walked towards the courtyard.

Before he reached the courtyard wall, the courtyard gate suddenly opened. Qiu Yinming immediately bent down and looked towards the door through the gap in the bushes. Two people walked out of the door, one was Long Shao, and the other was the one-eyed Di Taifeng, there was no retinue behind them, and they talked in a whisper and walked along the stone road to this side. Qiu Yinming didn't dare to move, holding his breath. Closely, I only heard Di Taifeng say: "Is Zhang Tianyi's news reliable?" ”

Long Shao said: "It's still uncertain. But it is better to believe in what you have than to slack off. ”

"Unlikely. The governor is a civil official, how can he have such good kung fu. Besides, the court and we have always said that the well water does not interfere with the river water, so how could a governor come out. ”

Qiu Yinming almost moved, and was shocked in his heart, he knew that Zhang Tianyi and Chunlin Villa had a close relationship, but how could his identity be leaked to Zhang Tianyi? At this time, I didn't have time to think about it, and I heard Long Shao say: "It's better to keep the owner of the hill for a few more days, and we will immediately send someone to find out." ”

Di Taifeng said: "Zhang Tianyi's letter said that the governor visited Weifu a few days ago, and no one knows where he went, how to check?" It's not good to interrogate the owner of the hill, even if he is, how can he admit it, it's not that he doesn't have a handle. ”

In the next conversation, Qiu Yinming couldn't hear it very clearly, and only heard a few words such as "Da Shou, Yueyang Tower" sporadically, and his heart lit up, could it be that they also knew that the governor would definitely go to Yuezhou to participate in the birthday banquet of the prince, so he wanted to leave him here to identify his true body. Hearing the conversation between Long Shao and Di Taifeng, he was a little confused, and he didn't want to investigate the situation on Zhu Zhuang's side anymore, so after the two of them walked away, he got up and returned to his residence.

Cleaned up, the sky is already light. Qiu Yinming sat in the courtyard and carefully reconsidered the antecedents and current situation of the entire situation, as well as all the contextual clues. Zhang Tianyi is really not to be underestimated. At first, I already knew from Gao Ye's mouth that this person was mercenary, and he had no grudges against the Xihai Alliance, and he planned a rebellion just for the word "profit". He can instigate more than half of the leaders to obey his orders, carefully deploy, eliminate dissidents, attack the headquarters, and do it in one go, his ability can be imagined, if it is not for the master of Xuandu, the power of the West Sea Alliance will fall into his hands. What is even more alarming is that after the failure of the rebellion, he was able to retreat with his whole body, and soon took refuge in Chunlin Villa, and subdued the Qingliu Society, and in just three or four years, he became prosperous in the Jingchu area. It can really be said that he is proficient in humanity and can bend and stretch, but it is very desirable to see it for himself. Qiu Yinming thought again, since there were probably spies in the Xihai Alliance, then the matter of his dealings with Qi Mutian was probably revealed to Zhang Tianyi by this spy. Qi Mutian has been in contact with him for more than half a year, and everyone in the Xihai Alliance knows it, so it is not a secret. Moreover, listening to Fang Cai Di Taifeng's words, Zhang Tianyi only mentioned that he was the governor of Weifu on a visit, and he didn't know about his coming to Chunlin Villa, let alone his purpose. In this way, this spy must not be from Qi Mutian's side. Moreover, if the reason for the Zhu Zhuang's surprise was that the name of the governor was mentioned in the letter, then the identity of the Zhu Zhuang owner could be more determined. If it weren't for the weighty figures in the clan, why should you be so taboo about the court officials.

After thinking clearly, Qiu Yinming was not so anxious. Now that the owner must have made a move, it is better to wait and see what happens, and maybe he can catch their handle and confirm the identity of the owner. As for their suspicion of their identity, as Di Taifeng said, as long as he didn't admit it, they couldn't do it. However, this matter cannot be delayed, July 18 is the birthday of the prince, if there is no progress here, he must also find a way to get out. After tossing for a night, he was very sleepy at this time, he couldn't do anything today anyway, it was better to rest in peace and wait for Chen Baisheng and Qiao San to come back and discuss.

When I woke up, I didn't know what time it was, I only heard the breeze outside the curtain blowing the bamboo leaves, rustling, the fragrance of the bamboo leaves through the window into the house, so comfortable and pleasant, I didn't want to get up, so I kept lying down and closed my eyes to recuperate. I don't know how long it took, I heard the sound of footsteps outside the door, got up and opened the door, and saw that it was Zhao Ying, who was walking into the courtyard and going straight to the main room.

Zhao Ying approached and arched his hand: "My lord, Miss's reply." He reached out and handed him a folded piece of paper.

Qiu Yinming suddenly fell asleep, and before he could thank him, he immediately took it and unfolded it, and there were a few words on the paper: Under the corridor of Qingfeng Xuan on the third watch tonight. Seeing this reply, the knot in my heart for the past two days was secretly resolved. Who knew that Zhao Ying said: "Miss won't see you." My lord, do it yourself. Zhao resigned. ”

Looking at Zhao Ying's back, Qiu Yinming suddenly understood that in the current situation, even if she is willing to come to meet, how can she let everyone know, she can only tell others like this, it really makes people love her more and sin herself.
