Time flies by in this fingertips, a year of time passed quickly, and it was the early summer of a year, this year was very special for the Xuanwu Empire, all the streets of the capital were hung with colorful small flags, and also hung with small red lanterns, a joyful atmosphere, and the streets were cleaned very clean and tidy. Not only that, but there are also many patrolling guards on the streets to maintain law and order on the streets. Doing one qiē for nothing else, just for one purpose, that is, it is the annual imperial martial arts conference once every ten years. This tournament was not only for the warriors of the Xuanwu Empire, but also open to the outside world, allowing other countries around the Xuanwu Empire to come to the capital to participate in the competition. As a result, security is more stringent than before.

It's so grand. Nangong Xue sighed as she walked, "I haven't paid attention to it before. ”

"Not really." Nangong Yun replied, "At that time, you were still young, and your father and grandfather didn't let you go out to play, so you haven't seen it, I've been with Hai'er, and you can finally see it this year." It will definitely feast your eyes, Hai'er and I have signed up for this year, you can come and have a good look at it then. Give your brothers a cheer. ”

"Okay!" Nangong Xue hurriedly replied when she heard this, "My brothers' field must be held." Can I participate? ”

"You're going to ask me." Nangong Yun replied worriedly, "Generally, you can only sign up when you are fifteen years old, but this year you are fourteen years old, so theoretically you should not be allowed to sign up." But you must insist, but you can ask again, as for whether you can pass guò, I can't tell you, but it doesn't matter, even if you can't participate, you can definitely enjoy it. ”

After listening to Nangong Yun's words, Nangong Xue didn't ask any more, just nodded and followed Nangong Yun home.

……

……

On the other side, in an extremely secluded dock warehouse, there was a group of porters busily carrying sacks of ...... one after another.

"Hurry up! Marie's point. Don't be lazy! A middle-aged fat man stood aside with a long whip in his hand and urged, "I can't finish moving tonight, none of you want to eat!" He urged like this, and the porters were not easy to show their dissatisfaction, after all, it was all about their eating, so they had to grit their teeth and lower their heads to carry the goods.

At the same time as these porters were carrying the goods, a man in a black cloak urged the middle-aged fat man: "The news that you have paid attention to in the past two days, this batch of goods must be transported away steadily." Your hands and feet should be sharp, don't give me pleats. You know? ”

The fat man nodded again and again and replied, "Yes, the villain must be careful." You can rest assured. After hearing the fat man's reply, the man nodded slightly, looked at the supervisor for a while, and left silently. After the man left, the fat man turned his head to look at his departing back and sighed quietly: "Hey, I really can't afford to be arrogant." Hey, I'd better hurry up and get to work, and I'll finish it early. After saying that, he continued to supervise the porter's work.

Wei Yongnian, who was standing on the big branch in the distance, jumped and left, only to hear the sound of "swish" from the branches and leaves. Then Wei Yongnian continued to follow the man in black.

After leaving the warehouse, the man in black set up the carriage and went straight out of the city, and then drove to the north mountain, the carriage galloped for about half an hour before coming to a mountain villa hidden in the depths of the woods, this mountain villa is a two-story courtyard building, the color of the whole mountain villa is green, if you don't look carefully, no matter how far you stand, you will think that this is a forest. As soon as the carriage arrived at the gate of the manor, two attendants hurriedly pulled the gate open and let it drive into the manor. When the carriage drove into the manor, Wei Yongnian saw from a distance that there were still many attendants patrolling back and forth in the manor, so in order not to let him find out, he raised his head and looked at the Cen Tian tree beside him, and then jumped on a big tree with a light effort, stood on the commanding heights and carefully observed the manor, and secretly thought in his heart: "What is the origin of the owner of this manor?" It is really difficult to find that such a manor was built in Beishan without looking closely. And there are so many people patrolling the estate. What is the purpose? Wei Yongnian muttered in his heart while looking around, only then did he notice that the palace was right in front of the manor, and looking in the direction of the manor, the palace was just in full view, Wei Yongnian couldn't help but feel nervous at this time, and whispered to himself: "The location of this manor is ......, is it possible to ......?" It seems that the owner of this manor has impure intentions. Thinking of this, Wei Yongnian observed the movements of this manor more carefully.

After getting out of the carriage, the man in black looked around for a week, and when he saw that there was nothing abnormal, he entered the manor. As soon as he entered the door, he went straight into the room on the left, and at first glance it looked no different from the usual study, at this time, I saw him raise his hand and twist the small furnace on the shelf, and then he saw that the bookshelf and the wall began to rotate "boom", and in a blink of an eye, the wall turned at a ninety degree angle and opened another road like opening the door, and the man in black walked in calmly, and when he entered, the wall was restored to its original state.

The man in black walked along the road of the passage, and after about a cup of tea, it was obviously much brighter in front of him, and after the man in black walked there, he saw several people in non-Central Plains costumes sitting inside, discussing something. Although it is underground, the construction here is similar to the main hall on the ground, from the decoration to the decoration, almost no difference from the ground, except that there are no windows. But the space is still extremely spacious. When they saw the man in black come in, they stopped, and looked at the man in black lightly, and then the man in black took off his cloak and put it on the shelf, and said respectfully: "A few envoys from afar have made you wait for a long time, and I will make a few compensatory here." In addition, on behalf of my master, I would like to say hello to you. ”

Several envoys nodded at him slightly, but did not reply anything, and the man in black continued: "A few envoys, my master did not come because there were some things to deal with, so I was sent to discuss matters with a few people today. I hope you can understand me. ”

Several envoys said lightly: "Since this is the case, let's do this today." But there can't be a next time, or our master won't be happy. ”

The man in black replied, "Yes." Without further ado, let's get straight to the point. I can only say sorry to you for the problem of this freight, this time it is not so easy as before, there are a few more small miscellaneous fish to disturb the trouble, so the goods you want will be sent later. Recently, the warehouse has been in a hurry to arrange, please rest assured. ”

"Huh?! The dignified and first-class officials are still afraid of small trash fish? One of the envoys snorted and asked the man in black disdainfully, "What a surprise?" Li Chao. ”

"The envoy doesn't know anything." Li Chao, the man in black, explained, "It's not that I'm afraid, it's just that the identity of those little miscellaneous fish is a little special." In order to take care of the overall situation, my master did not want to make a pleat before the big plan was implemented, so he seemed a little cautious. ”

“……。” The envoy listened to Li Chao's words, lightly took the tea bowl in his hand, and took a sip of tea, and was silent. Then an envoy next to him took over the conversation and said with a hint of sarcasm: "Moke, if you want me to say it, don't worry about it." You stay in the desert with the khan all the year round, and you are extremely happy to do anything, but this is the Central Plains, you pay attention to wisdom in doing things, and you can't do anything recklessly. You just sit back and wait for the receipt, and if you don't lack your things, you can acquiesce. Maybe there will be some thorns in the face this year, otherwise it wouldn't have been so late, so if I want me to say let's not worry about it here, and let's leave it alone, let them solve the matter in the Central Plains on their own. ”

“……。” Mo Ke raised his head slightly, glanced at him lightly, and replied lightly, "What you said makes some sense, as long as you don't miss something, otherwise I won't be able to explain it to our khan." ”

"At this point, please rest assured that Envoy Mok will not be short of your goods." Li Chao replied in a loud voice, "Of course, I would like to thank the Silver Moon Envoy for your understanding. After speaking, Li Chao bowed deeply to the envoy.

"That's it." The Silver Moon envoy waved his hand slightly, "But although I said that, I was still a little curious, what is the origin of this little miscellaneous fish?" would make a member of the first product so cautious? I don't know if Super Master Li said conveniently? ”

"yes." Several other envoys were also aroused by their curiosity when they heard the Silver Moon Envoy say this, and they all echoed, "We are also curious, we were fine in previous years, why are we so cautious this year?" ”

"It's a long story, let's talk about it later." Li Chao hurriedly changed the topic and said, "I won't talk about this today." Today is for two things, one is what I just said, the other is to arrange a few people during this period of life, this is secluded, no outsiders to disturb, there is any need in life, but just tell the attendant that they will tell me as soon as possible, in addition to the safety of our master has also made careful preparations, here every day at any time there will be guards to patrol uninterruptedly, to ensure that a few will not have any harm. This manor was also carefully built by our host, so you can live with peace of mind. After the explanation, several envoys present nodded their heads to make it clear. Then Li Chao arranged the rooms of several envoys one by one, and told the attendants about the future life and food, and after this qiē was properly arranged, Li Chao said goodbye to the envoys and left.

After coming out of the manor, Li Chao got into the carriage and galloped back, while Wei Yongnian followed. After Li Chao drove the carriage back to Chen Zhao's mansion, Wei Yongnian jumped on the roof, because Chen Zhao's mansion was relatively large, and the attendants patrolled it was not as strict as the manor, and it was getting dark at the moment, so Wei Yongnian took advantage of the darkness to jump to the roof and uncover a tile and listen quietly to the conversation inside.

Li Chao walked into Chen Zhao's study and reported today's events to Chen Zhao one by one.

After listening to the report, Chen Zhaoyan said: "You should pay more attention to the freight matter, don't make any stubble, and you must tighten my tone." The point you told them on the manor side to calm them down. I've done my best to do their thing. I'm urging to be careful, and I don't care. When it comes, don't say that I don't recognize people. These people are a bunch of people who eat bones and don't spit slag. If you get the benefits, you have to be the same as the uncle. It's so beautiful. ”

"Yes, the little one knows." Li Chao replied repeatedly.

"Recently, the martial arts tournament is approaching, you should keep an eye on the envoy's side, if I don't let go, don't act rashly. Otherwise, don't blame me for not saying ugly things. Chen Zhaoyan said, "If there is any disturbance over there, you must tell me as soon as possible." I have a good coping with it. ”

"Yes, the little one understands." Li Chao responded.

“……。” Then Chen Zhao paused for a moment, and then continued, "Well, that's all there is to it, you can go down and do it." After speaking, he waved his hand to signal that Li Chao could retreat. Li Chao bowed slightly respectfully and withdrew. Wei Yongnian, who was standing on the roof, said secretly in his heart: "What does this Chen Zhao want to do?" Thinking of this, Wei Yongnian raised his head again and looked at the darkening sky, and left with a "swish".

Leaving Chen Zhao's mansion, Wei Yongnian went back directly. He explained everything he had seen and heard that day to Nangong Feng. Nangong Feng thought about it for a while, and said lightly: "Hmm." I know, thank you for your hard work, the recent martial arts tournament is getting closer, I may not be too busy, you just keep an eye on it, don't startle the snake, I know what you said today. Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on it more here. Will take precautions. In other aspects, there is also the warehouse, you have to keep an eye on it, and see which direction they are sent. It seems that Chen Zhao is holding back a lot of bad things here. I'm not going to let him get his way. ”

"Okay. Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on it. Wei Yongnian responded, "Feng'er, you should also be careful here." ”

Nangong Feng nodded slightly and said, "Well, don't worry." I know it. It's not too early, about your late return, Xiaoxue still asked, I have already played a round for you, you just tell her that you go out to help me supervise something, that is, the competition side knows, you go and have some food. I asked the back kitchen to leave some for you. I'm going to be tired and hungry for a day of tracking today. So go to bed early after eating. ”

"yes, okay." Wei Yongnian nodded in response. After saying that, he retreated.
