Chapter 350: Wind and Rain Between Your Fingers, Cutting the Canghe River with a Knife (Part I)
There is a straw building in the Xuan Realm, the reputation is not big, there are few people who know it, and the owner of the building is even more mysterious, but all the monks under the saint who know this building, few people dare to despise it, because the most mysterious and top assassin in the Xuan Realm is from this little-known small building.
The world is like a straw, let me slaughter.
A very arrogant sentence, but even the top three major grandmasters turned a blind eye to this sentence, after all, assassin killing is often not only realm-wise, and killing people beyond the level is a necessary quality for every mature assassin.
The assassins in the straw building are highly professional, there are many kinds of assassins, men, women, and children, demons and monsters, suitable for assassination of various targets, such as the list of "assassinating Liang Yan, the eighth prince of Liang Guo", they sent four sisters codenamed "Charm and Spirit", the four sisters are amiable, beautiful, polite, and easy to speak, without the appearance of assassins, which is very confusing.
That night in the cave, if they hadn't noticed that there was a great grandmaster in charge, most of them would have done it directly.
Later, he pretended to go into a cave to take shelter from the rain, and after some temptation, he found that the little boy who called himself "Murong Zhuangshi" was obviously a big man who was much higher than them, so he had to choose to retreat.
Although it is a necessary skill for the killer of the straw building, it also depends on how many levels he has, at least the four sisters are not arrogant enough to dare to kill in front of an old great master, in fact, they will not even reveal similar thoughts, after all, their target is Liang Yan.
If Straw House received the order to kill the Great Grandmaster, it would naturally send a higher-level assassin to make a more elaborate assassination plan.
However, a retreat does not mean the end of the task, Straw Building, as a credibility killer organization, once the order is received, there must be a beginning and an end, after the four sisters left, Straw Building spent more than a month to find out Murong Zhuangshi's identity, and learned that his true identity was the master of Baiyun Mountain, known as the "old boy", the great master Wo Yunzi.
After the identity is figured out, the way to deal with it is simple, after all, everyone has weaknesses and shortcomings, and the old boy Wo Yunzi is no exception, and Straw House quickly found out Wo Yunzi's flaw - it was a woman named Shen Xizi.
Wo Yunzi and Shen Xizi were a pair of Taoist couples who envied others, and later Wo Yunzi was obsessed with cultivation and gradually ignored Shen Xizi, and the two had contradictions, and the contradictions accumulated over time and were irreconcilable, and finally broke out completely in the year of the Jiangnan flood, and the two parted ways.
Later, Shen Xizi couldn't forget the old love, and kept sending letters to Wo Yunzi, hoping to see each other again, but Wo Yunzi, who had changed his temperament, did not go to the appointment after all, and hid from the former Taoist couple at the ends of the earth, so there was a letterhead with the ancient poem "The Covenanter", so the old boy fled again.
According to the judgment of the straw building, Liang Yan's team, but the only one who can worry about it is lying in Yunzi's ears, and now that the great master is being taken away, the assassination will naturally continue.
"Several princes of the Liang Kingdom, it is said that the fourth and seventh are the most talented, why does His Royal Highness care so much about this eighth prince who is not favored?"
Lishan has always been a female general, naturally a lot of attention to the world's major events, Ren Zhiling, as the elder sister of Lishan, married the prince of Qin, of course, she must be more proficient in this, speaking of this trip to Cangzhou, she asked her fiancΓ© next to her questions.
Prince Qin, who was dressed in black, smiled lightly and said: "Ling'er, you only know one and don't know the other, on the surface, several princes of Liang State have to count the city, and the prince Liang Chengkang has to rank first, and then the fourth and seventh, in fact, Liang Yan, who has been staying out of the matter and sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, is the real wise man." β
Ren Zhiling was puzzled and said: "But I heard that he prefers to wander the rivers and lakes, and he has to escape from the palace almost every year to play......
"This is his cleverness, so that everyone thinks that he is outside the palace and has no interest in the throne, so that his brothers will not take care of him when they are fighting for power, and he can use these opportunities to cultivate his own power, accumulate his prestige, improve his strength, and wait until his brothers are defeated and injured, and then he will work at ease and reap the benefits of the fisherman......"
The corners of Qin Zheng's mouth smiled, and he praised: "I have to say that his forbearance kung fu is still worth learning from me." β
Ren Zhiling said softly: "He can't compare with His Highness, because even if he hides it so well, he still hasn't hidden it from Your Highness." β
Qin Zheng smiled indifferently and didn't explain much. In fact, he didn't take Liang Yan seriously at first, thinking that he was just a childish prince who was greedy for fun, and later the reason why he began to pay attention to Liang Yan was because of a prophecy of the old man: "The prosperity of Liang is in the Eight Sages King." β
The generation of Liang did not have the title of "Eight Sage Kings", so the "Eight Sage Kings" in the prophecy naturally refer to Liang Yan, the eighth prince of Liang State.
After that, Qin Zheng began to pay serious attention to Liang Yan, he really didn't pay attention to it, he was startled, when more and more news about Liang Yan was sent to the Prince's Mansion of Qin State, Qin Zheng felt more and more that the eighth prince of the enemy country was not simple, and secretly worshiped the cultivation of the Four Peerless Sects, went out to patrol and practice experience, and painted tigers and painted bones...... One by one, it seems harmless and ordinary, but when you taste it carefully, you can still roughly sketch the image of a prince with a furrow in your mind.
Of course, another important evidence that Qin Zheng got was that he found that Liang Yan's elder brothers had also begun to attack the future "Eight Sage Kings", which meant nothing to say.
The new Taoist couple spoke, and entered a large mansion that had been waiting for them for a long time.
And there is a small courtyard less than ten miles away from this big mansion, and Liang Yan and the others now live in the small courtyard.
"The bone-based tiger king, the boneless lotus, Brother Liang's painting, really has a unique way of thinking. β
Guo Dalu saw Liang Yan finish painting a lifelike boneless lotus, and praised it.
"If Li Daoyou doesn't dislike it, I will give you this lotus. Liang Yan said.
"That's great. Guo Dalu said sincerely, he didn't have much interest in Liang Yan's picture of the Tiger King, but he really liked his almost chaotic lotus picture.
Liang Yan inscribed and stamped next to the lotus picture, and then rolled it up and handed it to Guo Dalu.
Guo Dalu took the lotus picture and said casually: "I heard that the cultivation method of the Four Peerless Sect Painting Sect is extremely special, if you spend your energy to draw a picture of a reckless cow, you can have the power of a bull, and if you draw a picture of a fierce tiger, you can have the power of a tiger, and if a disciple of the Painting Sect can draw a dragon and put the finishing touch, he can even fly a dragon in the sky, I don't know if this is true or not?"
Liang Yan said bluntly: "It's true." However, there are no more than three people who can put the finishing touches on the painting sect now. β
Guo Dalu nodded and didn't ask any more.
......
After lunch, a thunderclap exploded in the sky, as if the floodgates of the Tianhe River were opened, and the raging rain began to pour down.
Liang Yan and others walked on the famous long street of Cangzhou City with umbrellas, chatting about the floods in Cangzhou City this year, and His Royal Highness Liang Guoba, who was worried about the country and the people, said: "Since there will be floods in early summer every year, you might as well renovate the Canghe River in advance and take the most serious year of the flood as a reference to take all preventive measures." β
Ji Da and Liang Hongli both nodded yes.
Guo Dalu did not answer, and kept observing the buildings on both sides of the long street.
Liang Yan shook his head to himself and said, "If the flood is completely controlled, I'm afraid some people will be unhappy." β
Ji Dadao: "The first thing to bear the brunt of is the Seven Xuanzong who have been entrenched in Cangzhou for nearly a hundred years, and every year when the flood comes, they come forward to shelter Cangzhou City, and when the flood passes, the corresponding offerings are naturally indispensable." β
Liang Yan nodded, and before he could speak, Liang Hongli suddenly reached out and grabbed him, and when he looked up, there were four young women standing side by side not far in front of him, smiling and looking forward to it. It was the four medicine collecting women who claimed to be the Thousand Xia Sect that they met in the cave that night.
The four of them stood in the pouring rain, but the heavy rain could not wet the corners of their clothes.
Ji Da also stopped abruptly, looking warily ahead through the dense rain curtain.
Only Guo Dalu seemed to be intoxicated with admiring the street scene, looking left and right, moving forward, without stopping, and when Liang Hongli found him and wanted to call him, he had already walked in front of the four women, and even almost bumped into it.
"Hey, four young ladies, where do we seem to have met?" Guo Dalu said in surprise.
