Chapter 5: The Stranger (186/511)

The sky was getting dark, the lights in the west of Fanyang County were sparse, an inn was wrapped, and there were two Jianghu guests standing at the door, one of whom was a Chang Shijian with a sword hanging from his waist.

In the hall of the inn, more than a dozen core figures of the Eagle Tower sat at the table and ate a light meal.

Li Hansheng, Zhu Liu, Mr. Pei, and Lu Hongxue sat at the same table, and there was a map on the table.

Fighting Eagle Tower is the top force on the rivers and lakes, famous for killing wolf guards, recruiting manpower has always been to seek refinement and not more, plus the number of hidden piles in various places is only a thousand people, but in terms of combat effectiveness, it is estimated that only the secret guards of the imperial city can be compared.

More than a dozen people present are the core figures of the Eagle Tower, and most of them have resounding names in the rivers and lakes, such as Zheng Yushan, the old head of the Qingcheng faction, and Qiu Fengqing, the heir of the Baji Gate, etc., all of them are on the list of the Quartet heroes of the case library, which can be said to be pouring out.

Li Hansheng's expression was as gloomy as ever, and after looking at the map a few times, he said softly:

"The Investigation Department has discovered our movements, and will definitely come to Youzhou. According to the news sent by the secret pile, Song Ying will come over, and I heard that Father-in-law Jia has not shown up in recent days on the grounds of recuperation, so I guess Father-in-law Jia has also come. ”

Zheng Yushan is relatively old, and when he heard this, he turned his head:

"Father-in-law Jia has never been out of Chang'an City in his life, and he is almost eighty years old, so he will run to Youzhou?"

Other people also have this doubt, after all, the name of Jia Gonggong's 'Da Nei Patron Saint' is too big, he has guarded three monarchs and a Jiazi, and the enemy country, the vassal king, and the remnants of the previous dynasty have been assassinated many times, and they can't get close to the son of Dayue by half a step.

The killer who can be sent to assassinate the Son of Heaven is self-explanatory, but after entering Chang'an, all of them have disappeared without exception, so that on the rivers and lakes, there is no record of Jia's father-in-law fighting with others, and no one knows how strong it is.

Such an old dragon king ran to the small mud pond of the rivers and lakes to fight the autumn wind, not to mention Zheng Yushan and others, even Zhu Liu frowned slightly.

Li Hansheng frowned and thought for a while: "In order to cover people's eyes and ears, let Zhu Liu go to the Tang family to take revenge in the name of revenge, and cover up our deeds, the Tang family has a close relationship with the imperial court, and will definitely ask the imperial court for help." Song Ying is not sure how to deal with Zhu Liu and me, and it is not impossible to invite Gonggong Jia out. ”

Zhu Liu's fingers rubbed the hilt of the sword, and he was silent: "It's a dragon or a worm, I only know when I come." You go to Bodhi Island as planned, and I will go to the Tang family alone. ”

is doing more than a dozen people, and they are all slightly hesitant when they hear the words.

There is a big gap between the ten martial arts, and there is a difference of two Tang Jiao between the strong martial artists such as Zhu Liu and Chen Daozi, and the weaker Xue Chengzhi and Zhang Buzheng.

Song Ying was born in the Cao family of Junshan, and has been intimidating the rivers and lakes for the imperial court for many years, and is obviously the top martial artist, needless to say, Gonggong Jia.

No matter how powerful the Sword Saint Zhu Liu is, it is impossible to stop Song Ying and Jia Gonggong from joining forces, there is no difference between going alone and sending him to death, but if Li Hansheng also follows, no one will go to the business of Bodhi Island.

Li Hansheng frowned and pondered, and said softly: "The Tang family's affairs have to make a big fuss, attract everyone's attention, and avoid being discovered by anyone about the movement of Bodhi Island, if you die too quickly, there is no point." I went to Bodhi Island with Zheng Yushan and Qiu Fengqing, and the others followed you to the Tang family, if you meet Gonggong Jia, you can drag it out, and if you can't drag it out, don't fold it all. ”

Everyone nodded slightly, feeling that this method should be more appropriate, after all, going to Bodhi Island is a secret act, no outsiders know, and there is no need to go to so many people. And Zhu Liu is the top combat power of the Eagle Tower, the name of the Sword Saint has great appeal in the rivers and lakes, it is not worth it to die in the Tang family in order to cover up, it is better to protect Zhu Liu.

Mr. Pei sighed and nodded: "That's the only way, start as soon as possible, the longer you delay, the easier it is to go wrong." ”

The crowd nodded.

After Li Hansheng finished arranging things, he stood up, took Zheng Yushan and Qiu Fengqing out of the inn, and rushed to Bodhi Island lightly.

The three religions and nine streams in the West City converge, although there are not as many as in the past, but there are also a lot.

Li Hansheng rode through the street, and when he was about to walk out of the market, his brows suddenly furrowed, and he turned his head to look at the door of a small shop on the side of the road......

------

At dusk, the small street of the west market in the county town of Fanyang.

Ning Qingye led the horse and walked on Ning Yu's side, running around for days, feeling a little sleepy between his eyebrows.

has entered Youzhou, Ning Yuhe faced the place where he grew up, touched the scene, and inevitably felt a little sentimental, and from time to time talked about walking around in Youzhou when he was a child.

When the two of them came to the inn on the side street, Liu Wu was still leaning on the recliner, holding a purple clay pot in his hand and swaying.

Ning Yuhe knew Liu Wu, handed over the reins to Ning Qingye, walked to the chair under the eaves and sat down, took out a piece of silver and put it on the tea table, and said softly:

"Shopkeeper Liu?"

Liu Wu opened his eyes and looked at it, and after recognizing Ning Yuhe, he smiled softly and sat up:

"What kind of day is today, if it weren't for the fact that my inn is full of birds, I would have thought I was back ten years ago."

Ning Yuhe was a little inexplicable, thinking that she suddenly returned to Youzhou, Liu Wu was more surprised, and just nodded and chuckled:

"Come back to something, huh...... Shopkeeper Liu, has he heard the news of Sword Saint Zhu Liu? ”

When Liu Wu heard this, he raised his hand and pushed the silver ingot back, shook his head and sighed lightly: "How can I know this, besides, you know the rules of the rivers and lakes, even if you know, the whereabouts of the sword saint, I dare to say?" ”

Ning Yuhe knew that it was difficult for some strongmen to let the news dealer sell Wu Kui's whereabouts, unless he had lived enough and wanted to reincarnate in advance. She smiled and said:

"I have no grudge against Zhu Liu, we are friends, I just asked him for some small things, if you know, please make it convenient and give me a way."

Liu Hu shook his head: "I really don't know, do you want to inquire elsewhere?" ”

Ning Yuhe knew the rules of the people in the rivers and lakes, and no matter how much he said, he couldn't ask anything, so he had to nod and get up to leave. Let's pick up the book

Liu Wu thought for a while, and then said, "Miss Ning, everything back then has passed, and you shouldn't come back, especially at this time." ”

"Thanks, I'm just coming back to see ......"

Ning Yuhe smiled lightly and didn't say anything more.

Ning Qingye led the horse, accompanied Ning Yuhe out of the small street, and said softly: "Master, Zhu Liu hasn't done it yet, let's go to the vicinity of Tang's house to hide first, and when Zhu Liu makes a move, just find a chance to say hello to him." ”

Ning Yuhe nodded, and the two of them came to the inn where they stayed.

The long-distance travel is dusty, and the place where he falls must be freshened up, it is too troublesome to go up and down the stairs with hot water, and he should have washed together, but Ning Yuhe didn't dare to take a mandarin duck bath with Ning Qingye, so he could only wash Ning Qingye secretly by himself first. Whispered at the moment:

"Early in the night, you go to the Wang's shop at the entrance of the market to buy some food and come back, the dishes of that house are delicious, they should be made freshly, I don't eat meat."

Ning Qingye didn't want to eat Jianghu rice at the inn, so he went out alone.

Coming to the old shop at the entrance of the market, Ning Qing ordered a few famous local dishes at night and stood at the door waiting.

It's already dark, people come and go in the bazaar, approaching the end of the year, there are more people returning to their hometowns, and there are often people who know each other on the street, 'so-and-so heroes, so-and-so heroes', are some small miscellaneous fish on the rivers and lakes, which sounds a little funny.

Ning Qingye leaned against the door with his sword, and when he was in a trance, he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves from far and near.

The corner of his eye swept over the person on the horse, and Ning Qingye shook violently. In the blink of an eye, the middle-aged scholar sitting on the horse was very familiar, but compared with the face engraved in his bones, he was a little older......

The horse's hooves stepped across the market, and Li Hansheng drove the horse forward, sensing the gaze of the scrutiny, and looked at the small shop at the entrance of the market.

The tall girl in white stood at the door of the shop in a daze, her eyebrows were like a crescent moon, her eyes were like stars, and she was holding the sword 'Hurt Spring', which looked very similar to her mother, and she was no longer a little girl who was learning to speak in the Shudi cottage.

At a glance, Li Hansheng was also slightly stunned, it was also a cold winter, and in an instant, it seemed to have returned to the bluestone alley in Chang'an City.

He stood at the mouth of the alley to buy paintings, and the very chivalrous girl stretched out a hand, and he couldn't change it at that time in his life.

I remember the two of them playing the rivers and lakes together, I remember the two of them lighting candles in the mountains and fields to worship heaven and earth, I remember his clumsiness in October when I was pregnant, and I remember the headache of rummaging through ancient books to think of the name when the little girl was born......

In the end, she had an idea and said: "Born at night, the moon and stars are rare, so it's called Qingye!" ”

Early Night ......

Li Hansheng, who has forgotten what feelings are for many years, jumped slightly from the corners of his eyes.

But that's about it.

The four eyes met for a moment, Li Hansheng turned his gaze, took two followers, walked out of the market, and galloped towards the east.

Ning Qingye stood at the entrance of the shop, holding the sword in his hand until the back disappeared at the end of the field of vision, and then he reacted.

Since Li Hansheng left with the bookcase on her back, she has never seen this man who she should call her father until the day her mother died in the wilderness.

stepped on the iron shoes, looking for Li Hansheng's whereabouts all the time, but never wanted to meet again, this is how he glimpsed on the street.

There were no expected explanations, and there was no cold eye, so he just glanced at it, and then left, just like a stranger.

"Chilling ......"

Ning Qingye clenched his mother's saber, his knuckles turned white, and an irrepressible anger appeared in his eyes, until he could no longer restrain himself.

"Chilly!"

Ning Qingye's eyes were blood-red, he jumped up from the entrance of the shop, grabbed a ranger's horse, and chased towards the market entrance, almost hysterical.

"Girl, girl......"

In Wang's shop, the elderly woman stood at the entrance of the shop with the packed meals, watching the girl in white gallop away.

The rivers and lakes are like this, there are often people who eat and drink, and when they encounter an emergency, they leave with their swords, and some people never come back.

The old woman looked at the food in her hand, and after a long time, she shook her head:

"If you are well fed and clothed, you should be content, if you are young, what kind of rivers and lakes do you ......"
