Chapter 41: The Wind Blows the Fan
The summer sun is hot and tight, and even the lotus flowers in the lotus pond of Huajing Pavilion can't lift their spirits.
The main hall of Qingyun Pavilion, Yuan Huaisheng, the two sons of the Su family and Mo Yanxi Yingniang are all waiting here.
About a moment later, Muraichi led a son into the main hall. Mo Yan Xizai looked carefully for a long time before realizing that this person was the strange stall owner they had met in the western market of Linyuan City.
The stepped forward and bowed respectfully to the people on the throne before saying, "Back to the master, according to the ideas provided by everyone, I have already investigated the heads of households in Fallen Leaf City two years ago. Two years ago, it happened that the country changed hands, and His Royal Highness ascended the throne, replacing the new policy, and the big switch was used for business and travel. In this deciduous city, there are also many people left. The manpower required to make a medicine puppet is huge, and if it is in Fallen Leaf City, it must be a sparsely populated, open and secluded place. And in the city of fallen leaves, there are many such places. However, two days ago, a secret guard found a huge number of medicinal materials being transported to Bulian Lane, I went to see it, the house was empty, there were many warehouses, maybe a bit of a doorway. ”
Yuan Huaisheng rubbed the green jade teacup and asked, "Can you ask clearly?" Whose land is it? ”
The replied, "I asked clearly, that piece of land belongs to the Luo family." ”
Su Changqing frowned: "But the Luo family, known as the world's number one dart?" ”
The nodded: "That's right, exactly, because of the marriage between the Sword Sect and the Luo family, there are many fish and dragons in Fallen Leaf City these days, if someone wants to take advantage of the chaos, I'm afraid it will be extremely difficult to track down." ”
Yuan Blame raised his eyebrows: "You mean, the purpose of the Chongshan Road is the Feng family?" ”
"Chongshan Dao is from the southern realm of Yuanling, and it is very ghostly, but there are many martial arts sects in the Central Plains, and they are not waiting to see Chongshan Dao and Ghost Shura sects that are not in the mainstream. If they really want to make a name for themselves in the Central Plains, of course, they want to replace them. ”
The spoke, and there was silence in the main hall.
Yuan Huaisheng turned his head and glanced at Mo Yanxi, and asked, "What do you think?" ”
When Mo Yanxi heard this, he hurriedly said: "Yan Xi is just a business traveler, and he doesn't know much about martial arts, but a few days ago, he specially asked Prince Su for advice, and now the Central Plains martial arts are divided between the north and the south, and the southern faction is mostly related to the chaebol magnate, which is not easy to break, and the area of Yubei Mountain is dominated by the Yao Shengbai family, Wuzong Chilian supervises the southeast land, the Jurchen Sect, and Gu Sitang occupy the Buddha Mountain Range. In this way, it seems that only the Sword Sect Feng family stands in the market. In recent years, Wulin has been calm, but there are no longer a few actions behind the scenes. If this continues, I am afraid that it will not be long before the Northern Sect Martial Arts will form a situation of three kingdoms. ”
Su Changqing felt that Mo Yanxi's analysis was very reasonable, and added: "Indeed, as far as we know, it is a matter of time before the Bai family and the Chilian family join forces, and the two sects in the area of Buddha Mountain are also faintly allied. In this way, only the Sword Sect was alone. ”
Mo Yanxi said with a smile: "It's not that I'm alone, these things, those of us who are outside the body can think of it, presumably the sect master of the Sword Sect can naturally do it, so he did this family business, as far as I know, the Luo family's power is not small, it can be called the first dart game in the world, if you don't have a little ability, how can you dare to walk out of the way in Yubei, where the sect is crisscrossed." Have you ever heard of the Luo family's dart being robbed? Moreover, the Luo family and the official family are also inseparable, and in recent years, all military salaries transported to the border have passed through the hands of the Luo family. ”
Yuan Huaisheng smiled lightly and followed Mo Yanxi's words: "You mean, compared to other sects that are far away from the market, the Sword Sect is better to start?" ”
"That's right, if you really want to replace it, naturally this is the case, although it is a person in the martial arts, but after all, in the market, there must be very few people who can stay around. If you take advantage of the chaos by surprise, maybe you can really win it in one fell swoop, besides, the Feng family marries a daughter, and there are so many sects that come to Fallen Leaf City, even if you miss, you won't suspect the heavy mountain road far away in the sky! This trip to the muddy water, for the heavy mountain road, can be said to be harmless. ”
Yuan Huaisheng squinted and thought for a while, and then seemed to have made up his mind, and said to the two sons of the Su family in a blink of an eye: "In this case, it is better to go and explore first, you two go and take a look tonight, be careful, don't be discovered." ”
Su Changfeng was very excited, patted his chest and said: "Ninth Master, don't worry, looking at the entire martial arts, there are only a handful of martial arts of the younger generation above me, and they are all baby bumps, how can they release them." ”
After the discussion, Mo Yanxi called Ying Niang to his room.
"Now it seems that what they are looking for is not in Fallen Leaf City. Walking southeast along the Yubei Mountain Range, is the Hundred Emperor City? ”
Ying Niang nodded: "That's right, further southeast is the Hundred Emperor City, although it can be regarded as the territory of the Martial Sect, but the Hundred Emperor City is comfortable and quiet, and they are all scholarly families or merchant families." ”
"Naturally, I have also heard of the Liu family, it is a family of virtuous scholars with hundreds of years of inheritance, not to mention the great Confucian Liu Lao, most of the academy in the entire Yuanling is their family. Moreover, in today's sainthood, Shun Kangdi also studied in the Liujia Academy, if anyone moves the Liu family, it will be really turbulent in the government and the opposition, and people and gods are angry. Even if they borrowed a hundred dares from the Martial Sect, they would not dare to be presumptuous in the Hundred Emperor City! Looking at it this way, it is really the best choice to drive drunk ten miles in the Hundred Emperor City. ”
When Sakura Niang heard this, she was secretly happy in her heart, but after thinking about it, she felt that it was wrong, and frowned and asked: "But since ancient times, it has been said that power covers the sky, and when it is full, it is a loss." If the Liu family is like this, why can they exist in the world safe and sound for hundreds of years? ”
Mo Yanxi lowered his eyebrows and said: "For hundreds of years, the Liu family has only been responsible for teaching and educating people, but they have never entered the ranks, nor have they been involved in the affairs of the government and the opposition. This is their self-preservation. In two days, you and Xiangxue will go to Baidi City to take a look at business, and I estimate that maybe they will go to Baidi City. ”
Sakura nodded in response, and the two chatted for a while, and the sky darkened.
Su Changqing and Su Changfeng took advantage of the night to cross the Huajing Pavilion and landed on the roof of a warehouse in Bulian Lane like a flying swallow.
The territory was almost uninhabited, and all the houses had been converted into warehouses for the loading of goods.
The two of them hid on the roof and watched carefully for a quarter of an hour, until they were sure that there was no one around, and then they got up and prepared to fly down to check in detail.
Suddenly, a fresh breeze blew, mixed with a hint of coolness. Su Changqing's eyes froze, and then he pulled Su Changfeng to tiptoe lightly, and took a step back with his internal breath. At the same time, the green tiles they had just been on had all shattered and fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
The two of them were shocked, and then they found a black shadow, like a ghost, with its back to the moon, standing on the roof of the beast not far away.
Because of the hazy moonlight, the figure was faintly visible, especially the meniscus knife in his hand, which glowed with a faint silver light under the moon.
When the breeze blew, the hem of the man's clothes and waist-length hair fluttered in the wind, and his delicate figure was also revealed.
Su Changqing and the others glanced at each other, and they were both shocked, this person turned out to be a woman!
"Who's coming?" A cold, emotionless voice came.
The man pointed a knife at the two brothers of the Su family, and his faint eyes were full of murderous intent, and in an instant, even the air was a little colder.
The two of the Su family looked serious, and the aura of the person opposite was extremely restrained, but the scimitar in his hand gathered a strong Qi Qi. She stood there as sharp as a knife in her hand!
Su Changqing chuckled in his heart, he looked down at the big hole in front of him, that woman was at least three or four feet away from them, and it was impossible to come to them and retreat so far between breaths, that is to say, from beginning to end, that woman had never moved, and what hurt them was the sword qi!
"Brother, I can't beat her."
Su Changfeng stared, his eyes looked at the woman standing there motionlessly, and his intuition told him that that person's ability and attainment were definitely above him.
Su Changqing sighed and said seriously: "Don't say it's you, I'm afraid the two of us together are not her opponents!" can integrate internal breath and weapons to such a point, I'm afraid only Muraichi and His Highness can compare. Let's go back. ”
Su Changfeng nodded, then glanced at Su Changqing, then kicked the ground with both feet, turned around, and prepared to fly away from Bulian Alley.
Seeing this, the woman blinked her eyes slightly, smiled at the corner of her mouth, threw the knife into the air, and then gathered her hands to breathe and pushed it gently. The blade sliced through the sky, making a whistling sound.
In the dark night, a blood-red sleeve, like an autumn leaf, fluttered and fell. A long knife plunged deep into the wall, knocking seven or eight cracks into the wall.
Su Changqing helped Su Changfeng to stand vigilantly in the alley. A faint trace of bloody breath came, Su Changfeng's right arm was missing half of the sleeve, and his snow-white underwear was dyed red.
The woman landed lightly, took out the knife from the wall with one hand, turned to look at the two brothers of the Su family, and said in a light tone: "It's so rude to leave without saying hello." ”
Under the moonlight, this woman finally showed her true face, looking at her young age, her complexion was snow-white, her face was beautiful, her eyes were sharp and narrow, and it was like a snow-capped mountain inside, clear and clear, not stained with red dust. In the long wind of the night, she looked more like a lone wolf, but such a thin and white girl really did not match the long knife in her hand.
Su Changqing stabilized his mind and said with a smile: "It's us who are abrupt, the summer is hot, I took advantage of the cool breeze of the moonlight to come out to breathe, I never wanted to disturb the girl, and I didn't want to compensate the girl." ”
The woman blinked, put away the knife, and said, "It's so rude, I was a fool, and I didn't look like a good person when I was a gentleman on the beam in the middle of the night." ”
Su Changqing hurriedly waved his hand and said with a smile: "The girl misunderstood, we really have no malice, we just came here to take a look, and we are not bad people." ”
"This is the Luo family's territory, what are you looking for here?" The woman's eyes were no longer solemn, and she stared at Su Changfeng's right arm and asked.
Su Changfeng shuddered in his heart, his back was already wet, and the knife just now was clearly half a foot away from him, but there was still a three-inch-long knife mark on his arm. If he had been a little slower, his arm might have been gone.
"Not a barbarian girl, we are the owner of Huajing Pavilion, recently lost a batch of drugs in the pavilion, a few days ago I heard that the Luo family entered a batch of medicines, I saw that the time was about the same, so come and see, we are the heart of a villain to spend the belly of a gentleman!"
Su Changqing reacted quickly and quickly found a reason to say.
The girl was silent for a moment, and then she gave way: "It seems like they can do something, let's go." ”
“.. ...”
When the two of them heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and after carefully passing the woman, Su Changqing suddenly said: "I don't know the girl's name, I disturbed today, and we will definitely come to the door to apologize another day." ”
"You don't have to apologize, Feng family, Feng Qi fan."
