Chapter 10: Red and Black

The four hall masters of the embroidery workshop are divided into four-color clothes.

For example, Li Yunlong of Fengwutang is in charge of the supervision affairs of Jinling, the southern capital, and is known as the head of the phoenix in black.

Under the guidance of the girl, Ren Zhen came to a middle-aged man in a blood-red robe, and he immediately guessed that this was the mysterious red-clothed eagle head.

The two had never known each other and looked at each other calmly.

Mo Yingshou stood up from his seat, his body was unusually tall, and in the somewhat cramped hut, the light suddenly became much darker.

The girl stepped back and closed the door.

Mo Yingshou suddenly leaned over, knelt on one knee, and said in a low voice: "My subordinates have seen the owner. ”

Ren Zhen patted him on the shoulder, signaling for a waiver, and secretly exclaimed in his heart, "Red, white, purple and black, red luck is the head." This person is really as rumored, his appearance is not vulgar, and he has the appearance of an eagle and a wolf. ”

Mo Ying stood up and didn't say thank you, smiling, "The owner of the workshop has thousands of faces, his hands and eyes are all over the sky, and this appearance in front of him should be just one of the many law phases, right?" ”

Ren Zhen was noncommittal, sat on the main seat, and just looked at the Eagle Hall Master.

Mo Yingshou did not avoid his gaze, his sharp sword eyebrows trembled slightly, and he exclaimed: "The owner of the workshop has not practiced before crossing the river, and he has achieved perfection in just a few days, such a talent is really awe-inspiring!" ”

Ren Zhen was stared at by this eagle falcon-like eyes, felt a little uncomfortable, and turned his body sideways, "The eagle's head lives in the north, hidden deeply, and it is the real awe-inspiring powerhouse." ”

Mo Yingshou saw this detail in his eyes, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and the edge between his pupils attenuated a few points intentionally or unintentionally.

The owner laughed. What's the use of cultivating to a higher level? You are well-informed and knowledgeable, learn from the past and the present, and you can be in charge of the embroidery workshop without practice, and you can look at the world, which is the peerless elegance! ”

Ren Zhen can afford goosebumps. He thought that this person should be good at hiding clumsiness and not liking to talk, but he didn't expect him to have a sharp tongue, not like an undercover leader.

"You and I are our own brothers, so we don't have to see each other. I went to the north this time, you should understand the deep meaning, right? ”

Mo Ying's eyes fell on the sword box behind him, and said, "Steal the beams and change the pillars, and hide from the sky and the sea." Your Majesty ordered you to disguise yourself as Gu Jiantang in order to disturb the Northern Tang Dynasty and take the opportunity to ruin its national fortunes. ”

Ren Zhen picked up the tea cup on the table, took a sip, and frowned slightly.

"Just talking about the word "government and the opposition", there is a distinction between the court and the rivers and lakes, unlike the chess game, which is stuck in one or two cities."

"The so-called national fortune is an ethereal battle for qi numbers, which is extremely complicated. Heavenly machine, earth vein, humanity, which can be destroyed with three swords and two swords? ”

Mo Yingshou pondered the meaning of his words, and his face was calm.

To mess with one person and one country, this is an earth-shaking move, and it is far from being as simple as a family fight. If the force is too small, or the pattern is too small, it is difficult to make waves in the ocean.

"Those who are good at playing should be good at plotting. How do you want to play this big game? ”

Ren Zhen stretched out his hand, pinched his furrowed eyebrows, and sighed: "You think it's me who plays chess?" The mud bodhisattva crossed the river, and I was just an orphan who couldn't protect myself......"

"What can I do for you?"

"You answer me some questions first," Ren Zhen leaned forward slightly. That's the purpose of his trip.

"From the time you released the news of Gu Jiantang's return to the north to the present, how many forces have gone south and want to wade into this troubled water?"

"Eleven," Mo Yingshou didn't think twice, "There are obviously those that will be unfavorable to you, there are Xiling Academy, Xunyang City Chu Family, and Qiuyu Jianyuan, and the others are all trying to fish in troubled waters." ”

Ren Zhen nodded.

Those who really want to kill Gu Jiantang have a deep hatred for him. As for the others, most of them coveted the Lonely Nine Swords, or wanted to test whether he had found the Yanyu Sword Hide.

"Is there any movement over there in Chang'an City?" He knocked on the table and glanced at Mo Yingshou deeply, he believed that the other party understood what this sentence meant.

Mo Ying shook his head in understanding.

Ren Zhen was relieved, this was what worried him the most.

"Can the people on the list determine their whereabouts?"

"Wandering or retreating, the peak powerhouse is free-spirited, and the dragon is not visible, who dares to say that he knows everything about them?"

"Next, it's the Yunyao Sword Sect," Ren Zhen rubbed the arm of the chair and said faintly, "Among the Seven Peaks, what is the result of your investigation?" Did you find that place? ”

Mo Yingshou sighed and said helplessly: "I have sent six groups of people successively, but nothing has been found. It seems that you are on your own. ”

"Where's the broken sword?" Ren Zhen asked nonchalantly.

Mo Yingshou was a little frustrated, the tasks assigned by the owner were very tricky, especially this one, which was quite weird.

In the vast mountains, letting him find the broken sword is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack. He really couldn't figure out how this could have to do with the overall situation of His Majesty's plan.

Ren Zhen saw his expression and knew the answer, and asked again: "Who was the last person Gu Jiantang met before he went south to Jinling?" ”

"Dan Qingjue, Wu Daozi."

"Him?" Ren Zhen was shocked, and was surprised by this answer.

Mo Yingshou added: "According to what we have checked, the last place Gu Jiantang went to was the Wu Mansion. Of course, if he still met others in the barren mountains and mountains, there would definitely be no way to find out. ”

"Keep an eye on him," Ren Zhen's eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression was complicated, "I always feel that there may be some secrets hidden behind him." ”

Mo Yingshou's expression was slightly different and he did not speak.

His keen sense of smell told him that the last two questions seemed to be aimed at something else, not for Yun Yaozong.

Ren Zhen stood up, looked at his bright red robe, and said lightly: "There will be a big turmoil next, and the matter of Yunyao Sect will be handed over to me." The Eagle Vision Hall operates as usual, and you still exercise the power of the embroidery workshop in the Northern Tang Dynasty, and I will not interfere. ”

This sentence obviously reassured Mo Yingshou that he, the owner of the workshop, was only here to carry out the task, and did not interfere with the idea of Eagle Vision Hall.

Mo Yingshou stood up with his head, looking at the young man who was much shorter than him, and for the first time there was awe on his face.

He boasted that he was extremely powerful and resourceful, and saw that the mysterious owner turned out to be just a teenager, so from the beginning, he had a bit of arrogance.

After taking his seat, Ren Zhen has been very patient and kept silent about the power of the governor until the end, when he broke through his concerns.

This is not only a trick to control people's minds, but also shows a strong self-confidence - I don't pay attention to your little abacus.

Mo Yingshou is a smart person, how could he not understand the subtlety, and hurriedly leaned over to salute and send off the owner.

Ren Zhen walked forward with his hands down, and didn't take a few steps before suddenly stopping.

He originally wanted to say that the people of Fengwutang were sneaking in in batches to knock Mo Ying's head. When the words came to his lips, they were replaced by another sentence.

"Let the girl in the lobby take my bath."

……

……

Southern Dynasty, Jinling.

In a large and empty hall, the two of them stood in front of the empty window, looking up at the uncertain sky through the gap.

Silent and silent, with occasional cool breezes.

I don't know how long it took, the middle-aged man in front of the window sighed softly, and his dark and deep eyes surged with a strange light.

"After being in the cage for a long time, I can return to nature. I'm a little envious of that little guy......"

As he said this, the clouds in the sky drifted away, revealing the hidden sun. The bright sun shone on him, shining brightly on the golden robe.

Hearing this emotion, the old man behind him said gently: "The dragon is in charge of the four seas, and Your Majesty has to be at ease." That kid is just crossing the river to fish and shrimp, no matter how far he swims, he can't break free from your long line. ”

The old man, dressed in a black robe, stood in the shadows, and ordinary people would not even be able to detect his presence if he had not spoken.

The corners of the middle-aged man's mouth were lightly raised, and an intriguing smile appeared on his handsome face.

"Laying a long line and catching a big fish is a metaphor that makes some sense. Over the years, you have stayed by his side, and your kung fu has grown a lot, and it seems that the book is not in vain. ”

He didn't look back, and he knew that Li Fengshou smiled.

"The duty of the old slave is not to slack off. But I didn't expect him to grow so quickly and be able to serve His Majesty so quickly. Now it seems that let him take charge of the embroidery workshop early, His Majesty's vision is too far-reaching, and the old slave admires it! ”

The middle-aged man snorted lightly, unimpressed by his flattery.

"His position of power is indeed given by me. It's a pity that this skill is not taught by us. Who can remember any book as well as he reads it once and memorizes it like him? Who can be like him, who can change his appearance at will, thousands of people and thousands of faces! ”

These words were very soft, and when they reached Li Fengshou's ears, they were like thunder. He fell to his knees with a bang, hanging his body very low, and trembling uncontrollably, "Sixteen years ago? ”

The middle-aged man took a step forward and stared out the window at the overcast sky, his vision gradually becoming hazy.

"Yes, I seem to see the man's shadow too......"

Li Fengshou took a deep breath of cold air, and his face was as pale as snow.

When he received the errand, he guessed this layer. Over the years, whenever he thinks of that old incident, he will have a chill down his spine and a cold sweat.

"Forgive the old slave for his courage, in this case, Your Majesty really shouldn't use him as bait!"

The middle-aged man frowned slightly, rubbed his white knuckles, and his eyes were as sharp as knives.

"I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of? That man has heavenly eyes in the center of his eyebrows, haven't you probed countless times, and he didn't give birth to that eye? I want to catch the whole world, and his bait is very tempting, and it is the most suitable! ”

Li Fengshou understood the meaning of the words, and became more and more frightened in his heart, and said worriedly: "The paper can't contain the fire, in case he knows the truth and takes the opportunity to break free from the fishing hook, with his means, it will be difficult for us to find him again......"

"Break free?"

As if hearing a joke, the middle-aged man sneered and turned around and walked towards the depths of the main hall.

"Do you think he really just wants to complete my mission this time? Don't underestimate the four words "hands and eyes to the sky", he has his own little abacus. Even for his own sake, he won't run away! ”

Li Fengshou suddenly froze, stunned in place, his eyes glazed.

Outside the window, it was raining.
