(of.) (of.) In another small wine shop with a light business, Yang Yuanqing and Niuniu sat down in a hut, and the men diligently served more than a dozen dishes and a pot of wine.

Yang Yuanqing threw him two pieces of money, "This reward you, go!" Don't come if I don't tell you. ”

"Okay! The military master enjoyed it slowly, and if there was something to do, just call the villain. ”

The guy went, Niuniu suddenly reached out to cover her mouth again, turned her head, tears fell, Yang Yuanqing picked up the wine jug, poured her a glass of wine, and said slowly: "Do you think I'm angry because you hide from me?" ”

"Why is that?"

"I'm angry not because of you, but the person who asked you to assassinate the King of Jin, the first day you came to the capital, the terrain and road conditions are not familiar, he actually asked you to assassinate the King of Jin, this is to kill you!"

Yang Yuanqing gritted his teeth for a while, Niuniu lowered her head deeply, and didn't dare to say a word.

"The King of Jin has been made the crown prince, do you know what the consequences of assassinating him will be? If it weren't for the fact that I saw that your figure was familiar and drank the shiwei, a hundred shiwei would definitely chase and kill you, at this time the door of the fang was closed, and the emperor would send 100,000 troops to search the fang thoroughly, and you have an accent in the south of the Yangtze River, I tell you, you can't run away at all, you will definitely die! ”

Niuniu's tears welled up again, but this time she was moved, she deeply felt that Brother Yuanqing cared about her, she sobbed and said, "We all have poison on us." ”

It's okay that Niuniu didn't say this, she said this, which made Yang Yuanqing's heart feel like a foot in the air and fell into the abyss, what he was most worried about finally happened, Niuniu was just a tool to kill.

At this moment, Yang Yuanqing became calm, he had already realized that the organization behind Niu Niu was not trivial, and he dared to assassinate King Jin. This should be a political organization.

"Niuniu, tell me, who is Uncle Chen?" Yang Yuanqing asked in a deep voice.

Niuniu shook her head, "Brother Yuanqing, it's not that I want to hide it from you, I swore a poisonous oath." It must not be leaked. ”

"His surname is Chen, I guess he is the royal family of the Chen Dynasty, right?"

In fact, it is easy to guess that the queen of the Chen Dynasty has appeared, and the identity of this person surnamed Chen is called out.

"Nope! I can't say, Brother Yuanqing, don't ask. ”

"Alright! I don't ask. ”

Yang Yuanqing sighed, "Actually, I don't care what they want to do at all, even if they want to rebel, it has nothing to do with me." I only care about you and worry about you! ”

"Brother Yuanqing, I know!" Niu Niu said quietly.

"So you have to quit this organization!" Yang Yuanqing was categorical, and there was no room for negotiation.

"It's impossible."

Niu Niu's head shook like a rattle, "I swore a poisonous oath that if I break away or betray, I must die!" ”

"Cult!"

Yang Yuanqing said coldly: "If they don't let you go, I will eradicate it by the roots." Punish him for the Nine Clans! ”

Niuniu was so frightened that her face changed, she took Yang Yuanqing's hand, and said repeatedly: "No! No, Brother Yuanqing, they will kill you. You really can't be reckless. ”

Yang Yuanqing picked up his wine glass, his pupils gradually contracted into a line, "I won't be reckless, I will slowly force them to agree, in short, I must let you leave!" ”

At the same time, the atmosphere in the Wanchun Tea House was also tense in the room. Several important figures of the South China Association have arrived, Chen Yin, Wang Mo, Yuan Sizu, Zhang Zhongjian, and a minor official, Song Benchu, the head of the Metropolitan City Municipal Bureau, who is also the backbone of the South China Association.

Everyone was listening to Yuan Sizu tell what happened today, "I didn't expect Yang Yuanqing to come to Uncle Chen, he actually knew about the existence of the guild master." This is an extremely serious hidden danger, especially since he is an officer of the Sui Dynasty, and we must not take it lightly. ”

Wang Mo frowned, "The question is how does he know Uncle Chen, who told him?" ”

"It's supposed to be dusty. Yang Yuanqing is her brother-in-law, and I heard that they grew up together. It should be that she leaked the secret. ”

"It's not dust!"

Zhang Zhongjian sighed and said: "It should be that I inadvertently said that I was lush, that day out of the dust asked me how to be the king of Qi to worship, I said that it was arranged by Uncle Chen, Yang Yuanqing was next to me, it is my responsibility, it has nothing to do with the dust, please punish me." ”

Zhang Zhongjian is the first master of the South China Association, and he will also be the first fierce general in the future, Chen Yin values him very much, and of course he will not punish Zhang Zhongjian for this matter, but leaking the secret of the leader of the Lu Association is a serious violation of the rules of the association, and it must be severely punished, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public.

Chen Yin was silent for a moment and said: "I don't think things are so simple, what you say casually, ordinary people won't pay attention, and Yang Yuanqing won't notice me because of your mistake, I think it should be out of the dust to tell him something, maybe she said that Uncle Chen took care of him very well, so he came to thank me, she is a little girl after all, the little girl is easy to distinguish between the important and the serious, and she said it as soon as her head is hot, and she should ask her about this matter." ”

Song Benchu also said: "I was at the gate of the metropolis just now, and I saw the dust girl walking with him, I saw that his expression was a little unsmiling, I suspect that he has become suspicious of us, once this matter is leaked, the consequences are very serious, we must not be careless." ”

"You really can't be careless!"

Wang Mo nodded, "When the dust girl comes back, I have to interrogate her well, and there must be no luck." ”

"But we treat Chuchen like this, how can we explain to the palace mother?" Zhang Zhongjian was a little disgusted by the word 'interrogation' proposed by Wang Mo.

Chen Yin smiled slightly, "Zhong Jian, where do you want to go, we just ask Chuchen, how can we hurt her, she is my mother's niece and granddaughter, I still believe in her very much." ”

After speaking, he quickly glanced at Wang Mo.

Wang Mo also smiled and said: "Zhong Jian, we understand your intentions, everyone knows that you are very embarrassed about this matter, so don't ask." ”

Zhang Zhongjian also understood that this matter was very important and should not be careless, but he really didn't want to participate in this matter, and after a deep sigh, he said again: "Regarding Yang Yuanqing, I would like to remind him, don't despise him, his martial arts are strong, and his archery skills are unparalleled, if something happens, it is best to solve it through negotiation." ”

"We know this, don't worry! We've got our own measure. ”

Chen Yin said lightly, Zhang Zhongjian bowed and went out, and several people continued to discuss, Wang Mo glanced at everyone: "I suggest." If this matter doesn't have much impact, or Yang Yuanqing doesn't know about it, and just wants to thank Uncle Chen, then we will try not to expand the matter, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble, what do you think? ”

Chen Yin nodded. "Wait until Izumi comes back and ask her."

At this time, a report came from the courtyard, "Proprietor, the girl from the dust has returned, escorted by an officer." ”

Chen Yin immediately gave Yuan Sizu a look, and Yuan Sizu understood, turned around and went out.

Outside the tea house, Yang Yuanqing was whispering to Niuniu, "I'll pick you up early tomorrow morning." You have to convince your aunt that my side is comfortable and that it would be better for her to live there. ”

"My aunt doesn't like it very much here, she said that the atmosphere of the metropolis is too heavy, and I persuaded her that she should be willing to move, so let's make a decision, after dawn tomorrow." You come and pick me up. ”

Niuniu looked at Yang Yuanqing brightly, her posture was so graceful, like a lotus bud that had just bloomed, her eyes were full of love, and she could feel that Brother Yuanqing cared about her from the bottom of her heart. This is also the brother she loves deeply, he has been her dependence since he was a child, although over the years, many senior brothers have expressed their love for her, including the senior brother, although he never said it, but she understands, but. No one can replace Brother Yuanqing's position in her heart.

Yang Yuanqing was also infected by her gaze, he was full of pity for her in his heart, this was his sister, and it was also the woman he had to love her all his life, he urged him to step forward, bent down, and slowly approached her face. Niuniu's eyes were closed, and her face was filled with a blush of joy.

Yang Yuanqing lightly touched her smooth forehead, stared at her deeply, turned around and urged the horse away, Niuniu looked at his tall and burly back infatuatedly. Her eyes were red, and tears welled up again

In an alley about a dozen steps away from the house gate. In the dark, Zhang Zhongjian watched them silently, his eyes were very complicated, when Niuniu returned home, he also sighed lowly, turned over his horse, and slowly walked towards the gate of the metropolis.

After walking more than a hundred steps, he suddenly found that Yang Yuanqing was waiting in front of him, and Zhang Zhongjian knew that Yang Yuanqing had just discovered him.

"Are you waiting for me?"

He sped up his horse speed and slowly walked side by side with Yang Yuanqing.

"I didn't want her back today."

Yang Yuanqing sighed slightly and said, "But she must pick up her aunt and grandmother, I can only let her come back."

Yang Yuanqing looked back at Zhang Zhongjian, "I'm a little worried about her." ”

Zhang Zhongjian snorted coldly, "What's not to worry about, with her aunt and grandmother here, who dares to touch a single hair of her, you are too worried, if I were you, I would stay away from her." ”

"Why?"

"She has her life, she has her beliefs, and you're going to get involved with her, or she's going to get involved with you, and you're going to make her feel guilty, and you're going to make her feel sad."

Zhang Zhongjian looked back at Yang Yuanqing, his eyes blazing, "You and her are not the same kind of people, you can't go together in the end?" ”

Yang Yuanqing smiled, noncommittal to Zhang Zhongjian's words, and after a while, he smiled faintly and said, "Brother Zhang thinks that faith is the most important?" ”

Zhang Zhongjian nodded, "For me and for her, faith is more important than life, and we can give up everything for the sake of faith." ”

"So that night, you have to take her with you, and you don't care if she lives or dies!"

Yang Yuanqing's voice became stern, he stared at Zhang Zhongjian and said coldly: "I don't care what you believe, and I don't care what you want to do, but Niuniu's life is more important than anything else, I warn you, if she is hurt in the slightest, I will burn your beliefs clean, all people, not one left, kill them all, I, Yang Yuanqing, will do what I say!" ”

Yang Yuanqing urged the war horse and galloped towards the gate of the metropolis, at this time the gate of the metropolis was slowly closing, Yang Yuanqing rushed out of the gate and quickly disappeared into the darkness.

Zhang Zhongjian stared blankly at his distant back, Yang Yuanqing's tone, it seemed that he already knew something, Zhang Zhongjian was extremely nervous, he turned his horse's head, and planned to go back, but after walking a few steps, he let out a long sigh, turned his head again, and sped up to leave the metropolis.
