Qin Mansion, outside the study.

The door was closed, Li Shan and his apprentice Nie Dao, who was dressed in black and held a knife, stood outside the door, Li Shan looked at the door a little anxiously, with a little anxiety in his eyes, wishing that he could have a pair of see-through eyes and be able to hear what was happening in the study.

Nie Dao was still the same poker face, and nothing had changed, as if nothing in this world had aroused his interest.

The one who caused this scene was naturally Huang Chong.

Huang Chong unknowingly replaced Qin Yong, the original housekeeper of the Qin Mansion, this is not the key, the key is that Huang Chong actually acted under the noses of Qin Hui and their master and apprentice, and also poisoned the tea, standing beside Qin Hui and listening to them talk, but they didn't find it at all, you must know that changing into a person, and replacing a person, these are two concepts, the former can change his appearance, and the latter needs to take into account habits.

If it weren't for Huang Chong's own appearance, I'm afraid they wouldn't know that the housekeeper next to them had been replaced unconsciously, it was terrible to think about, if Huang Chong wanted to take Qin Hui's life, I'm afraid they wouldn't even know how Qin Hui died.

Huang Chong can be disguised as a housekeeper, and he can be disguised as anyone, and no matter who it is, there are one or two trusted people around him, and this situation makes me shudder when I think about it.

After Huang Chong appeared, he said that he wanted to talk to Qin Hui alone, and the two had to leave the study and wait outside.

Creak.

Mo Yue passed a pillar of incense, the door opened, Huang Chong walked out from inside, Li Shan's gaze crossed Huang Chong, and saw that Qin Hui was still sitting on the main seat safe and sound, but his face was a little ugly, Li Shan breathed a sigh of relief, and then stared at Huang Chong tightly, and his hand unconsciously rested on the handle of the knife.

"Your knife skills are good, what's your name?" Huang Chong didn't pay attention to Li Shan at all, but looked at the black-clothed man with a knife and asked.

"Nie Dao." He is still cold, cherishing words like gold, looking at Huang Chong with his eyes, no joy or sorrow, Huang Chong originally thought that he could see a trace of war intent in his eyes, but no, Huang Chong couldn't help but be a little disappointed, he also thought that he encountered the kind of martial arts idiot that often appeared in film and television dramas or movies, it seems that it is not.

"Nice name, can you please give me a little bit now? I have to go. Huang Chong asked, their master and apprentice just blocked Huang Chong's way.

Hearing this, Nie Dao took a big step to the side without hesitation, Li Shan hesitated, and also took a step to make way Huang Chong saw this, smiled, and walked calmly between the two.

"That's right." Just passed through the middle of the two, Huang Chong suddenly stopped, so frightened that Li Shan almost drew his knife, Huang Chong's eyes glanced at Nie Dao, and said: "Your knife skills are really good, when can you teach measuring." ”

“……”

Nie Dao didn't answer, Huang Chong shrugged, looking like you were very bored, and walked forward calmly, as if he was in his own Crouching Tiger Village, and finally disappeared from their sight.

"Xiangye, are you okay?" Li Shan hurriedly ran into the study and asked.

"Whew." Qin Hui let out a sigh, shook his head, leaned back on the Taishi chair, and said: "It's okay, what a top master, now the old man understands, the top martial artist really has the ability to reverse the situation, I heard that the Taizu of this dynasty is also a top master?" ”

"Yes, Emperor Taizu is a top master, not only Taizu, but Duan Siping, who established the Dali Kingdom, is also a top master." Li Shan said: "However, the number one master in the world at that time was the Taoist master Chen Tuan, and Emperor Taizu had to lose Huashan to him." ”

"I see." Qin Hui shook his head self-deprecatingly.

He suddenly understood why Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong would worship literature and suppress martial arts, maybe not because the literati were much nobler, or because the literati could govern the country better, but probably because they were worried that the emergence of masters like them in the rivers and lakes would threaten the rule of the Great Song Dynasty.

Later, the "Taoist Collection" was repaired, and the national Taoist temple was required to contribute the classics, which may be similar to Qin Shi Huang's book burning and Confucianism, but the means were milder.

"Xiangye, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, you tell me about the prime minister, what are the top masters in the world, and whether you can recruit them." Qin Hui looked at Li Shan and said, although he didn't know what he talked about with Huang Chong just now, one thing was certain, that is, it was a big blow to Qin Hui.

"In the Great Song Dynasty, the most famous innate masters are Yi Yun, the Holy Monk and Zhou Dong, but Zhou Dong is dead, and now only Yi Yun and the Holy Monk remain."

"Can these two be of use to me?"

"The holy monk is a member of Buddhism, and his whereabouts are erratic, it is almost impossible for him, as for Yi Yun, there are some possibilities."

"Oh, the plan will be released?"

"Yi Yun is the owner of the famous sword villa of the great faction of the rivers and lakes, this sword villa once assisted Emperor Taizu to calm the world in the early years, it is precisely because of Emperor Taizu's reward that he can become a big faction of the rivers and lakes, and now the famous sword villa is declining, if Xiang Ye can help him restore the past glory of the famous sword villa, Yi Yun may be used by Xiang Ye."

"Then why is Yi Yun crippled?"

"The Easy King." Speaking of this name, Li Shan's mood fluctuated a little, it was because of King Xiaoyao that he ended up like this, and he hated King Xiaoyao to the core.

"The Easy King? Who is this person? Qin Hui frowned and asked, not because of Li Shan's emotions, but because of this name, he dared to be the king.

"This person comes from a small country in the Western Regions, talented, it is said that any martial arts, he can learn it immediately as long as he has seen it once, more than ten years ago he entered the Central Plains, swept the Central Plains martial arts, no one is invincible, and the holy monk fought for a day and a night, the outcome is unknown, and then he fought with Yi Yun, Yi Yun's feet were crippled, and the King of Freedom escaped from the Central Plains with injuries, more than ten years have passed, this person's martial arts, I am afraid it will be even more terrifying."

"Can you recruit this person?" Li Shan's last sentence made Qin Hui's eyes shine.

"This ......"

"You immediately arrange for someone to investigate the situation of the Easy King, and the prime minister must know all the information about this person in the shortest possible time."

"Yes."

"After you go down, immediately start to collect the world's masters, as long as it is a master, as long as it can be used by me, I will not let go of any of them."

"Yes."

"By the way, what about that martial arts league advocate Tao, what is his strength?"

"Zhang Tao is also a rare master in the rivers and lakes, but he has not entered the congenital."

"Keep an eye on it."

"It's Xiangye."

"By the way, let those people leave."

"Xiangye, this?"

"Withdrawn."

"Yes."

"Also, in the future, Dao'er will stay by my side as a guard, as long as you do things well, what the prime minister promised you, and never break your word."

"Yes!"
