Li Cangxing turned his head and smiled slightly: "Senior sister, Caifeng, this time I go back to Yunnan, I have to remember, don't make it so fragrant on my body, you can smell it from ten zhang away." ”

The faces of the two delicate babies were slightly red, Mu Lanxiang lowered her head, and Qu Caifeng rushed: "After all, we are a daughter's family, we can't be like you, there is a manly smell on our bodies all day long." ”

Li Cangxing smiled and shook his head: "No, you misunderstood what I meant, I mean that when you return to Yunnan, you have to dress up and spy secretly, but if you make it so fragrant, you can smell it ten zhang away like now, then naturally you can't hide your whereabouts." ”

Qu Caifeng's face became even redder: "This, this is because we just finished bathing, Cangxing, you really don't understand girls, this time is not the usual inquiry, of course we have to apply some incense powder, even the bath water, also put petals." ”

Li Cangxing said with a smile: "Okay, okay, just kidding, I also know that you have also been walking for many years, this common sense must be there, but I still have to remind you that this time we went to Yunnan to go deep into the core hinterland of the Demon Sect." There is a lot of danger, and it is likely that the local officials in Yunnan and the Mu Wangfu will also be our enemies. You have to be prepared for the most difficult things. ”

Mu Lanxiang's face changed, and he raised his head: "Senior brother." I see that you just compared with that Lu Bing there and didn't make a sound, at first I thought it was a gesturing, and then Sister Qu told me that you have a way to communicate in a secret way, and after talking for so long, are you all talking about this? ”

Li Cangxing put away his smile and made a silent gesture, the second daughter immediately held her breath, pricked up her ears, and Li Cangxing closed her eyes. After listening carefully for a while, he fell to the ground again for a long time before he stood up, patted the dust on his body, and said with a smile: "Now we can speak with confidence." ”

Qu Caifeng smiled: "But when you and Lu Bing, as well as the black robe, were chatting in front of you, why didn't you realize that we were there?" ”

Li Cangxing shook his head: "Of course I know your deposits, and Lu Bing also knows it." But I can't open my mouth to drive you away, so I chose the secret language, how about it, wait on it in a hurry. ”

Mu Lanxiang's beautiful big eyes were full of affection: "Senior brother." Now that there are no outsiders, it's time to tell us, maybe we can help. ”

Li Cangxing nodded: "It's nothing more than going to Yunnan." Just now, the three of us reached a consensus on one point, that is, that inner ghost is the most dangerous enemy. Eliminate now with the highest priority. ”

Qu Caifeng blinked: "This highest priority level is still above Leng Tianxiong and Yan Shifan?" ”

Li Cangxing said with a straight face: "Not bad. If our worries are true, this inner ghost should have colluded with Yan Shifan, this time the deputy Su who followed Lu Bo up the mountain was sent by Yan Shifan, but he shot in order to keep the identity of the inner ghost, obviously he was sent by the inner ghost, and this person has Gu worms in his body, which further confirms that he is a person sent by the inner ghost, whether it is lurking around Yan Shifan or not, we must be prepared to join forces with the inner ghost and Yan Shifan. ”

The second daughter nodded again and again when she heard this, and Qu Caifeng said: "I have been thinking about this problem when I was in the wooden basin just now, if this inner ghost really wants you to take the lead in raising troops, then he will definitely use the power of Yan Shifan to force you to take this step, he has been luring Feng Wu to deceive you, and accumulating your hatred for Feng Wu deeper and deeper, and I also hope that you will kill Feng Wu in anger when you learn the truth in the future, so that you can completely make enemies with Lu Bing and Jinyiwei, Cangxing, he should know your personality very well, and he will not be cornered, There is no way to retreat, and you will not embark on the road of rebellion. And Yan Shifan is the best tool to force you, and this incident is a good proof of this. ”

A trace of panic flashed in Mu Lanxiang's eyes, and his expression became resolute: "In this case, it is a blessing or a curse, and it is a disaster that cannot be avoided, at this point, even if you hide to the ends of the earth, you can't escape the poisonous hands of this thief, senior brother, I was still a little hesitant, but now I have completely figured it out, if you don't get rid of this inner ghost, you, me, and all the relatives and friends we know will never be at peace." ”

Li Cangxing said with a straight face: "It's really good that you are willing to support me, Lu Bing will stay in Beijing to deal with Yan Shifan and prevent him from being framed further, at least not let Yan Shifan know about our visit to Yunnan to investigate, but on the other hand, there is a new situation now, that is, this inner ghost is the descendant of Wan Gu Sect, born in Yunnan, and Wan Gu Men is very likely to have been protected by the Mu family of the Qianguo Gong in Yunnan." ”

The two daughters' faces changed dramatically, Li Cangxing's face sank like water, and he told the two of them what he had just talked about with Lu Bing, and the two daughters' faces kept changing, until they finished speaking, the two looked at each other, and Mu Lanxiang sighed: "I can't imagine that there is such an intrigue in the border of Yunnan." ”

Qu Caifeng was deeply eyebrows, thoughtful, Li Cangxing saw her like this, and knew that he must have thought of something, so he asked, "Caifeng, is there anything wrong?" ”

Qu Caifeng shook his head: "I can't say it, to be honest, our Wushan faction originally had several branches in Yunnan, that is, on the ancient tea horse road, and it is also the caravan that relies on this ancient tea horse road every year, especially the caravan of the Bai family, which used to be very generous on this road, and the village there in Yunnan is far away from our Wushan faction, and it can be self-sufficient without any support from the general rudder, which shows how fat the commission on this road is." ”

Li Cangxing suddenly asked, "Are those old subordinates of yours in Yunnan loyal and reliable?" ”

Qu Caifeng thought about it carefully: "Rolling Longpo and Kouhutang are our largest stockades on the Yunnan Tea Horse Road, and they should be absolutely reliable, the time when the Wushan chief rudder suffered four years ago." The two villages sent elite support from thousands of miles away, and the Yang leader of Rolling Longpo and the deputy village master of Ma from Kouhutang both came. In the end, he also died in Wushan, I think such a brother is reliable. ”

Li Cangxing asked, "After you come back this time." Is there any contact with them? Who are the leaders of these two villages now? ”

Qu Caifeng nodded: "Rolling Longpo is now Yang Yilong, the son of Chief Yang, as the owner of the village, and the head of Kouhutang is the old master Ma Sanping, both of whom are loyal old brothers, this time I heard that I am back in the rivers and lakes, and I also took the initiative to send someone to contact me, I didn't have time to ward them a while ago, this time I just went to Miaojiang, and I can also go there to take a look." ”

Li Cangxing pondered for a moment and asked, "Why are these two people so loyal to the Wushan faction?" Caifeng. Is it the kindness that your master has accumulated throughout his life? ”

Qu Caifeng smiled slightly: "Yes, the two of them were surrounded and suppressed by officers and soldiers back then, if it wasn't for my master's help, I'm afraid that the whole village would have perished, so these two of them are the most grateful to our Wushan, not only last time, but also the farther battle of Luoyue Gorge, they were also the first to come to help." ”

Li Cangxing nodded: "I see, it's just if they are attacked by the official army." What means can your master rely on to make the officials and soldiers give up their attacks on them from now on, and even allow them to collect protection money on the Ancient Tea Horse Road? ”

Qu Caifeng's brows furrowed unconsciously: "Cangxing, you don't even have to doubt them." ”

Li Cangxing said calmly: "You must be prepared for the worst in everything. It's better than being caught off guard at that time, after all, they are just your peripheral subordinates, if you say that you will repay the favor. Back then, returning to Wushan to send assistants to guard was already repaying the kindness, and we had to think about it more. ”

Qu Caifeng pursed her lips. Exhaled Rulan: "I don't know the specifics, it's just that the master seems to have relied on Taizu's tips to scare off the officials and soldiers in Yunnan." Since then, some kind of agreement has been reached, and no more shots will be made to the two villages, and I don't know much about the rest. ”

Li Cangxing's face changed slightly: "Who were the officers and soldiers who surrounded and suppressed them back then?" The army of King Mu's mansion? At that time, did your master seize Taizu's bag already known to everyone? ”

Qu Caifeng thought for a while, and shook his head: "No, I remember very clearly, the master said that at that time, she had just taken the Taizu bag from Da Nei, and she didn't dare to go back to Wushan in order to avoid trouble, but went away to Miaojiang, that time was the first time she took out the Taizu bag, Yunnan was the head of the Mu Wangfu who was in charge of the army at the time, and was scared to retreat when she saw this Taizu bag, and my master realized the great power of this Taizu bag, and then he returned to the Wushan faction with confidence and boldness, recruited his subordinates on a large scale, and took in orphans and widows. It is because of this benefit that the officers and soldiers are not allowed to encircle and suppress our Wushan Mountain, so many cottages will come to vote, in this sense, those two villages in Yunnan are the first time that my master used Taizu's tips to protect them. ”

Li Cangxing laughed: "I see, then the two of them should indeed be grateful to your Wushan faction." However, just relying on the grace of saving the village, plus the benefits they have gained under the banner of the Wushan faction over the years, is it enough for them to be in trouble again? Caifeng, do you really believe in the loyalty of the two of them? ”

Qu Caifeng hooked the corners of his mouth: "Then you say, do they also have ulterior motives?" ”

Li Cangxing said with a straight face: "I just said that there is this possibility, the last time I came to Wushan to help guard, it should be half out of retribution, half I don't want Wushan to perish, because the helm of the Wushan faction fell, and they naturally lost their biggest backer, of course, they have to go all out to save each other." That's why the owner of the village and the deputy owner of the village went out in person and brought the elite to the rescue. ”

"But since they didn't save the Wushan faction last time, it is said that they also paid a heavy sacrifice and price, Caifeng, there is a question you have considered, why have these two villages been able to mix well in Yunnan in recent years, and have not been attacked by the army of Muwangfu?"

Qu Caifeng gasped: "What do you mean?" ”

Li Cangxing's expression became extremely stern: "Caifeng, what I said is just a possibility, in fact, you came all the way this time, and also re-incorporated a lot of former loyal subordinates, as far as I know, now follow you with all your heart, most of them are the most loyal to the Wushan faction's cottages, and without exception, their villages have been attacked by the official army in recent years, and most of them are already homeless and have become rogues, so that as soon as you are summoned, you will immediately come over to meet you." ”

Qu Caifeng nodded: "Yes, many of these people who followed me were changed to other villages after the original cottage was breached, and they felt that it was not a long-term solution to come to me, and more villages have been recruited by the government, or they have paid a lot of protection money to the government, and these villages are not recalled." Cangxing, how do you know this? ”

Li Cangxing sighed: "I want to do long-term business in the rivers and lakes, so naturally I have to figure out these things." Caifeng, this is not the case with the two villages in Yunnan, as far as I know, the momentum of these two villages is greater than before, and they can even safely accept the tea and horse business run by the Bai family under Mu Wangfu, and it is impossible not to cooperate with Mu Wangfu. ”

Qu Caifeng's expression became extremely strict, and her long eyebrows raised slightly: "Cangxing, do you have any real evidence for this matter?" Could it be that Lu Bing said something to you just now? ”

Li Cangxing shook his head: "This qiē is just my speculation, before Lu Bing talked to me about this matter just now, I didn't think about Mu Wangfu at all, but he made sense, Mu Wangfu has been in Yunnan for so many years, there is no open Jianghu organization, and there is no understanding of the four generals, but it can make all the Yi and Han tribes and factions in Yunnan so obedient and never make trouble, there must be a strong organization behind them to support them." ”

Mu Lanxiang suddenly said: "Is it impossible that this Mu Wangfu colluded with the Demon Sect and relied on the Demon Sect to suppress those people?" After all, in Yunnan, the most powerful is the Demon Sect. ”

Li Cangxing said calmly: "Senior sister has a certain truth, but it is unlikely after thinking about it, first, after all, the Demon Sect is a sect that openly opposes the imperial court, according to what I knew in Jinyiwei before, Mu Wangfu has united Jinyiwei many times, dealt a blow to the Demon Sect, and even booby-trapped the leader of the Demon Sect, if it were not for the ancestor to raise troops, and later the change of the Civil Fort, the Ming Dynasty had no time to take care of the land of Yunnan, I am afraid that the Demon Sect would be eliminated as early as the founding of the Ming Dynasty, it can be said that the Muwangfu and the Demon Sect are as deep as the sea, The masters of the Demon Sect had also assassinated the two masters of the Mu Palace, and it was unlikely that they would unite. ”

"Second, even if in the past hundred years, as the Demon Sect has gradually gained a foothold in Yunnan, and the Muwang Mansion has gradually formed a peaceful relationship, the other Tusi hereditary prefect in Lijiang, northwest Yunnan, Lijiang Mufu, also maintains a delicate relationship with the Demon Sect, and the Black Wood Cliff where the Demon Sect's helm is located is in Lijiang, and it is difficult for the army and masters of the Mu Wangfu to forcibly enter the Lijiang area."
