Chapter 40: The Heavens and the Downstairs

Zheng's mansion is very large, there is a big square when you enter the door, and occasionally you walk by an older woman, who should be a subordinate who does chores, and the sound of "hey, hey, hey" comes from time to time in the east of the square, which should be training.

Walking east along the square, rows of houses come into view, this is the backyard, Yang Bo arranged Yang Ying in a quieter small courtyard, and Zheng Xiaoqing is also next door.

The decoration of Zheng's mansion is very simple, and there is no back garden or anything like that, just a few unknown trees are planted, the canopy is very large, and some stone tables and stone benches are arranged under the trees, which should be used for enjoying the shade.

Yang Ying's yard was also planted with rows of peach trees, the peach trees were full of bright red peaches, Zheng Xiaoqing picked one and wiped the hair at will, and sent it to his mouth, and said with a smile: "It's so sweet, come to Brother Yang, eat one, you can quench your thirst" Saying that, he picked a big and red one from the tree and threw it to Yang Ying.

Yang Ying also learned from her to rub her hair and ate a bite, it was indeed sweet and crispy, and Yang Bo looked at the two of them with a smile, "People are old and can't do any work, but they can't be idle, so I planted some fruit trees in the yard." ”

"Well, Xiaoqing, you will sit with Yang Gongzi, I will go and order the next person to deliver some food, I think you will also ride a horse for a day, so you will rest early." After saying that, he staggered out of the yard.

"Xiaoqing, who is he!"

"Uncle Yang, he is my father's brother, his arm was injured in a battle, after my parents died, he took care of our brother and sister, and after my brother became the owner of the village, he left the cottage to come to Wushuang City to retire."

After a while, a subordinate brought the food, and the food was steaming, Yang Ying frowned and looked at it for a while, "Brother Yang, do you have something to worry about?" ”

"I'm worried about Mingkong, even the little girl I'm looking for has disappeared for a long time, I don't know what happened to her."

"Brother Yang don't worry too much, I'm sure she'll be fine, I'll ask Uncle Yang to send someone to look for it tomorrow, it's better than you wandering around alone."

"Xiaoqing is right, let's eat quickly, I'm hungry."

In the early morning of the next day, Yang Ying danced her sword in the courtyard, which was more elegant and natural under the glow of the morning sun.

A small sound of "pop" came, accompanied by the swift whip shadow, Yang Ying's hand was lightly raised, the sword collided with the whip, and the whip was swung away.

But the whip was also extremely flexible, attacking Yang Ying's face with a surging momentum, and the sword in Yang Ying's hand retreated, and it was entangled with the whip again.

It was Zheng Xiaoqing who wielded the whip, her silver whip flew up and down when she danced, hitting each other, like a silver snake flying, dazzling, Yang Ying also saw the moves, and Zheng Xiaoqing was on par with her swordsmanship alone.

The two fought from the small courtyard to the square, and a group of big men were also gathered around the square to point and point, Zheng Xiaoqing's whip method has been seen by everyone, and it is the Zheng family's whip method of whipping without shadow. And for Yang Ying, a stranger, he was very curious, Zheng Xiaoqing made a move with all his might, even if their leader was a second-rate peak martial artist, he didn't dare to parry as easily as Yang Ying, watching Yang Ying advance and retreat freely, everyone looked at him with admiration, and the masters were all respected.

"Don't fight, don't fight, hmph, Brother Yang won't let others do a little, he has to make a fool of himself."

Yang Ying chuckled twice and didn't answer, and Yang Bo's old voice came, "What should everyone do, don't be around" Everyone left very obediently, "Yang Gongzi can go to breakfast"

"Thank you, Yangbo"

"Young Master Yang, I heard Xiaoqing say that you came to Wushuang City to find someone?"

"yes"

"You can talk about her appearance and characteristics, our Wushanzhai also has some connections in Wushuang City, maybe we can get some clues"

Yang Ying then said some characteristics of Mingkong, and then told the characteristics of Liu Jing and Xia Protector, and if you find the two of them, you should be able to get clues about Mingkong.

"Okay, I'll arrange someone to look for it, and Yang Gongzi will wait for good news."

Yang Ying stood up and hugged his fists and thanked: "Thank you so much Yang Bo, otherwise I don't know when I will find it alone."

"Young Master Yang is too polite, you are Xiaoqing's friend, that is, a guest of our Wushan Village, this little favor is nothing.

"Yes, Brother Yang, don't be too polite, I'll accompany you to Wushuang City after dinner, and maybe you can get some clues."

In Wushuang City, there are mainly martial artists, and it is rare to see ordinary people, even Xiao Si who sells them is also some third-rate martial artists. Even the things sold are very martial artists, the shops here only walked a distance and saw several weapon shops, Yang Ying looked at it a few times and was not very interested, the weapons here may be treasures for ordinary martial artists, but it is really difficult for Yang Ying to see.

Yang Ying's actions attracted the attention of the vicious eyes, and a lean young man walked up to Yang Ying and said softly: "I don't think Childe looks down on these ordinary goods, I have a way to buy different things, I don't know if Childe is interested in taking a look." ”

Yang Ying didn't have much experience in walking the rivers and lakes, and looked sideways at Zheng Xiaoqing, Zheng Xiaoqing nodded lightly, which was regarded as proof of what the young man said, and at the same time attached to Yang Ying's ear and said: "Brother Yang, you can also inquire about some news by the way, although it is a little expensive, but the news they sell in this line is true, and the reputation is also good." ”

Then he explained: "There is an organization called Tianxialou in Wushuang City, which claims to know the affairs of the world, like this person belongs to the messenger at the bottom of the Tianxia Tower, specifically for the purpose of soliciting customers, doing some middleman things, such as someone who gets a weapon by improper means, and he does not dare to use it at will, he can find them to find buyers and obtain benefits from them"

Yang Ying knew in her heart that this was not an intermediary.

Then Zheng Xiaoqing reminded again: "Brother Yang, it's best to buy a mask and cover your face so as not to get into trouble." ”

The young man seemed to hear Zheng Xiaoqing speak, and looked at Zheng Xiaoqing again, obviously not expecting this girl to know more.

The two bought masks and followed the young man into a hidden alley, walked straight forward, and came to the door of a courtyard, where the young man walked quickly to the door and knocked on the door three times, and a small sound came from inside, and the young man said something before the door opened.

What caught my eye was two warriors wearing masks, they were actually second-rate peaks, and the masks worn by these two people were exactly the same, one mask was a faceling.

The young man was very respectful in the face of the two, and the two didn't pay much attention to the young man, just looked at Yang Ying and Zheng Xiaoqing, and only made a cold voice after a while, "You can go in" After speaking, he closed the door again.

There are several small buildings in the courtyard, and the young man led Yang Ying to a small building, "Son, you can go in, but you can only enter this building, and others can't enter, hehe" After saying a flattering smile, a hand was stretched out, obviously to tip.

Yang Ying took out a silver ingot from his bosom and threw it to him, and he took the silver and trotted away happily.

Yang Ying and Zheng Xiaoqing walked in, the building was already full of people, most of them were wearing strange masks, and a few people had nothing to hide, and they were all first-class middle and late stage when they closed their eyes and meditated, and they were obviously very confident in their own strength.

Everyone seemed to be waiting for something, and from time to time someone complained: "Why haven't you come out yet, it's been a quarter of an hour in"

One person opened his eyes, his eyes emitted a cold light, "What's the noise, if you can't wait, get out." ”

The person who began to speak glanced at it, and saw that his martial arts were not as high as his own, so he didn't dare to refute it, so he randomly found a corner and continued to wait.

In a moment, two people wearing faceless masks walked down from the second floor, followed by some people, these people were holding different things in their hands, turning over and over, carefully probing, some of them were still trembling slightly, the mask could not hide his smile, and he obviously got what he wanted.

After the people who came down from the second floor left, the Faceling said indifferently, "If you want to buy something, you can follow the second floor, and if you want to inquire about it, go up to the third floor." ”

After listening to the Faceling's words, several people took out the hidden items, wrapped them in layers of linen, and followed the Faceling, and Yang Ying and Zheng Xiaoqing followed.

On the third floor, there were only six or seven people, but these people had a long breath, and none of them were weak. "You can ask the steward if you need the news, and if the steward doesn't know, you need to register the news you need and come back in two days. Okay, a few of you line up to get in. He pointed to the hut next to him.

It was Yang Ying's turn, Yang Ying walked straight into the house, and when she entered, the door closed by itself, and the room fell into darkness, but she could still see the outline of a black shadow, "Do you have any news that you need to inquire about?" ”

"I want to ask if Wushuang City has a rudder of the Yin Kui Sect."

"Nope"

Hearing the black shadow's decisive answer, Yang Ying couldn't help but be a little puzzled, "Could you be mistaken?"

The dark shadow's voice became cold and unusual, "No one will doubt the intelligence of the Tianxia Tower. ”

"Did you send a disciple from Yin Kui to Wushuang City a few days ago, and there was a little girl about ten years old among them?"

"Five days ago, some Yin Kui Sect disciples did come, it should be the person you said."

Yang Ying didn't expect to get the news of Mingkong here, and asked in a voice with some excitement, "Where did they go?" ”

The black shadow sneered, "I advise you not to ask too much, this is not what you are qualified to ask." I can tell you they didn't leave, though. ”

"What kind of qualifications do you need to know?"

"Hehe, this important news about some martial arts factions needs our order from the world, and to get this order, we need to be recognized by the earth."

"Dilou" Yang Ying repeated in a low voice, he hadn't heard of any underground, this was the first time he had heard of Tiandilou.

As if seeing Yang Ying's doubts, the black shadow explained: "Our heaven and earth building is divided into the sky building, the earth building and the human building, I belong to the human building, the requirements are not high, as long as it is a second-rate martial artist, but the earth building and the sky tower need to be recognized accordingly." As for the recognition conditions, I don't know" This black shadow should have been in the dark for a long time, and he explained so much to Yang Ying.

"Your news this time is five hundred taels of silver"

Yang Ying was shocked, such ambiguous news was so expensive, but he still handed over the silver to the black shadow, and the black shadow weighed it with his hand, "It's okay" The door opened.
