Chapter 132: Two Green Dragons
There were more than a dozen missing boats, hundreds of boatmen, and more than 100 soldiers, and these people were not decimals, not strings of numbers, but hundreds of lives. If Zhao Ji doesn't know any news, he will either be too incompetent or very cruel if he sits back and watch the shipwright and guard die, it is obvious that he is not the former, the cruel chief is not the blessing of the people in a place, and whether he is guaranteed or not is in between.
"The boat was wrecked in Hongzepu, and the boatmen and guards were nowhere to be seen, and I only found out about this matter after the fact," Zhao said bitterly.
Although he accepted Chen Wenyu's money and did not let the garrison search for the wrecked ship in time, he really didn't know much about the inside story of the shipjacking.
Di Renjie was speechless, and looked at Zhao Zhenjin coldly, this kind of official can't stay, although he won't be killed, but he can't be allowed to stay in his current position.
Zhang Zichen stayed on the boat and sent people to continue to investigate the movements in Sizhou.
"Sizhou assassinated the essence of Zhao, and the governor of Jiangnan, Di Renjie, personally led a thousand knights from the capital to surround the temple, arrested Chen Miaozhu and a group of disciples, searched the property in the temple, and demolished the entire temple." Chen Wenyu's disciple Han Qian said in a trembling voice.
Han Qian is also a disciple of Jiang Wang Temple in Sizhou, and he is also Chen Wenyu's proud man, on the day of the incident, he happened to go out to take care of the house to which the temple belongs, so he escaped. However, after the government interrogated the people of Jiang Wangmiao, it also issued a pursuit document to Han Qian, which scared Han Qiandong to hide in Tibet, lest he be arrested. Later, Han Qian found out about the secret mark left by the general altar, so he hurriedly ran to report it to Zhang Zichen.
"The imperial tribute that was robbed in Hongzepu last time, did the temple dispose of all the things?" Zhang Zichen asked.
The Heavenly Witch Sect looted more than a dozen boats and got a lot of gold silk property, half of which was taken away by the Yue Wangfu, and the rest was countless. As the head snake of the land, the Sizhou branch naturally gets a share.
After all, robbing the imperial court tribute is a heinous crime, which can be done, but it must not leave evidence of the crime. So the general altar ordered that the sub-altars that had been divided into the property should dispose of the tribute and destroy the evidence.
"There are still some copper coins, and the cloth is not sold!" Han Qian bowed his head and said.
"Didn't the general altar order all be replaced without leaving a penny?" Zhang Zichen's pretty face changed.
"Lord Chen Tan saw that the copper coin was beautifully cast, so he kept it." Han Qian said.
"Get down," Zhang Zichen wanted to kill Chen Wenyu with one palm.
Han Qianru was amnesty and hurriedly ran out.
"If you want me to say, kill Di Renjie in the past, and Chen Wenyu will have to die like a fool." "Qinglong" said proudly to Yunfei.
"Di Renjie is a messenger of the imperial court, representing Wu Zetian's face, if she knew it, she wouldn't give up, the Holy Lord didn't want to provoke her at this time." Zhang Zichen shook his head and said.
"Okay, then I'll kill Chen Wenyu first, lest he leak our secrets." Xiang Yunfei said.
"Whoever is around Di Renjie also has to find out," Zhang Zichen said.
"I know," Xiang Yunfei said, turning around to find Han Qian and letting Han Qian lead the way.
"Holy Maiden, Qinglong has always been arrogant, and he looks down on the northerners, it would be bad if he killed Di Renjie." "White Tiger," Zhu Huizhen said with some concern.
Zhu Huizhen is about forty, plump, looks like a noblewoman, is not beautiful, has a mature demeanor, and at the same time she has also been Zhang Zichen's enlightenment teacher, and the relationship between the two is very good.
"Xiang Lao has been rampant in the rivers and lakes for many years, and he has his own sense of proportion." Zhang Zichen said, "Let's also go over and take a closer look at the progress of the situation." ”
"It's been three or four days since the news spread, why haven't the people from the Heavenly Witch Sect come yet?" Yu Chi Xiu said anxiously.
The Sizhou Assassin Mansion secretly spread the news of the raid on Jiang Wangmiao, the stolen goods and Chen Wenyu's confession, preparing to lure the masters of the Tianwu Sect to take the opportunity to destroy some of the forces of the Tianwu Sect.
"Be patient when fishing, Chen Wenyu's bait is very fragrant, they will come sooner or later." Yuan Xingchong said.
"I thought so, too, that I'm still in the prison tonight," Mr. Li said.
"Okay, I'll stay in the Thorn History Mansion, stay by Lord Di's side, and see which of the five elders of the Heavenly Witch Sect?" Yuan Xingchong said.
Chen Wenyu recruited the Heavenly Witch Sect to rob the imperial court's tribute, and by the way, he told everyone the news of the various masters of the Heavenly Witch Sect. Yuan Xing Chong mirrored this with the information provided by Liu Xuan, and had a better understanding of the situation in the Heavenly Witch Sect.
"The strength of the Heavenly Witch Sect is extraordinary, you also have to be careful, don't be careless." Di Renjie said.
Everyone took the order and left, and Li Rong went to the state capital prison alone, waiting for the arrival of the master of the Heavenly Witch Sect.
When night fell, Xiang Yunfei did not hide his figure, dressed in green clothes, embroidered with a silver coiled dragon, and went straight to the prison of Sizhou Mansion.
During the day, Han Qian took Xiang Yunfei to step on the spot, probed the terrain near the state capital, and pointed out the location of the prison to Xiang Yunfei. Xiang Yunfei remembered it in his heart, and he came out at the third watch.
"Hey," Xiang Yunfei saw that there was no one guarding the prison in front of him, and his heart moved, "Someone, come out for me!" ”
"Qinglong" Xiang Yunfei ranks first among the five elders of the Heavenly Witch Sect, and the martial arts realm has reached the third realm of the sixth grade, and he is only one step away from the seventh grade innate, but unfortunately the distance of this step is like a moat cutting off the way, and he is over fifty years old, his muscles and veins are rigid, his qi and blood are insufficient, and there is no possibility of progress.
Li Rong did not deliberately hide his figure, knowing that the master of the Heavenly Witch Sect who came found him, Shi Shiran jumped off the roof and stood opposite Xiang Yunfei.
"Li Rong, the commander of the right thousand horsemen of the imperial court," Li Rong said, "You are the elder of the Heavenly Witch Sect, seeing that you are wearing green clothes, could it be the green dragon flying towards the clouds?" ”
Every master who has achieved cultivation is worthy of his respect, even if it is a heinous person, their efforts in martial arts, and the martial arts they make represent people's pursuit of martial arts. But respect does not mean that Li Rong will be polite, defeating the enemy, or even killing the enemy is also a respect for martial arts.
"Hmph, the Imperial Eagle Dog also knows my name?" Xiang Yunfei said in disgust.
Typically, Xiang Yunfei is a rare southern racist in this era, who looks down on the northerners, thinks that the northerners are mixed with the blood of the Hu people, insulting the civilization of the Han people, and should be expelled from the country, and the southerners are the inheritors of the Han dynasty and unify the world. This is also the atmosphere that has been formed by the Tianwu Sect for a long time, they have been rooted in the south for hundreds of years and have formed a separatist psychology together with the families who rule the south, and their hostility to the imperial court is also reasonable.
Li Rong stood in front of Xiang Yunfei, with waves of powerful aura constantly surging on his body, faintly fighting against himself, and not falling behind at all.
"There is a brother under him whose nickname is also Qinglong, and his cultivation is still above me, I wonder how much effort Your Excellency has, can he be compared to him?" Li Rong said.
"You're talking about Li Yuanfang of Luoyang Tsing Yi Society, I've also heard of his name, and he is also the eagle dog of the imperial court, sooner or later I will compete with him, I am the only Qinglong in the world." Xiang Yunfei laughed wildly.
There had been preparations near the state capital prison for a long time, and all the officials were dismissed, and Li Rong was left alone here.
Ordinary officials can't play a role at all, they won't be the opponents of these masters of the rivers and lakes, and they will die in vain if they go up, because no one heard Xiang Yunfei's wild laughter, and even if they heard it, they didn't dare to come over.
"Really? I don't mind getting rid of competitors for Brother Li," Li Rong drew his knife out of its sheath, and the blade pointed straight at Yunfei.
On the other side, Yun Fei's laughter was not poured, his body was like lightning, his hands were grasped, and dozens of sharp claws were drawn, sharp as a knife, as dense as a woven net, and he covered Li Rong.
Xiang Yunfei is an old man, not the kind of fool who is arrogant and can't see others in his eyes, although he looks like this on the surface.
Although he is arrogant, he still has vision and experience, and he immediately noticed that Li Rong was not easy to provoke, and his shot was to do it with all his might, similar to a sneak attack, and he used the "net killing" in the "Seven Kills of the Broken Army", and the ten fingers each performed exquisite techniques, or sweeping, or stabbing, or pointing, or pressing, etc., the true qi was unpredictable, forming a boundless air net directed at Li Rong.
Li Rong's face was calm, and the dragon yin knife turned into a heavy wave of swords, the angle of each wave of swords, the strength changed slightly, blocking all the space for attacking Yunfei, and the sword qi went forward and backwards one after another, and the waves hit the shore like a cyan knife net to Yun Fei.
Xiang Yunfei instantly felt that the knife waves in front of him were overwhelming, enveloping the space around him, as if he was really facing the scene of the waves, impacting himself again and again.
At first, the sword qi didn't seem to have much strength, and it dissipated when it hit his own qi net, and then the wave just ended, and the back wave came again, and the strength strengthened by a point, and then the power of the sword wave strengthened layer by layer, so that Xiang Yunfei was unable to resist, and had to retreat step by step, unloading the mountain pressure in the knife wave.
"Not good," Xiang Yunfei said secretly in his heart, his brows furrowed.
The opponent seems to have seen through his own moves, martial arts and even the mystery of footwork, and every move and style is targeted to shoot in advance, which seems inconspicuous, but is actually leading step by step.
Xiang Yunfei is an old man, he has experienced a hundred battles, his intuition will not go wrong, and Li Rong's true qi still faintly restrains his true qi.
His hunch was right. Li Rong had fought with the "Dark Leopard" Ande of the Yue Wangfu several times, and had learned the "net killing" in the "Seven Kills of the Broken Army", and obtained the basic internal strength of the Tianwu Sect from Chen Wenyu, and the martial arts of the "Greedy Wolf Claw".
