Tan Zhou sat in the meditation room of the Lotus Leaf Temple to mend his broken plowshare.

After the rain, the grass and trees are thick, and the sound of clanging is endless, startling the raindrops on the tips of the fallen leaves and silencing the cicadas on the trees.

Bo Xiao went and returned, with stars and mud spots on the hem of his plain clothes, and pushed the door and strode in.

Tan Zhou didn't look up, still unhurriedly knocking on the iron plow.

"What are you asking?" It was enough to have a cup of tea for so long before he raised his elbow, wiped the sweat drops from his forehead, and asked slowly.

"Is that you?" Bo Xiao squinted his eyes and seriously examined the seemingly honest dark face in front of him: "You let us stand still, waiting for you to arrange, just waiting for you to set up a big net and put Mu Si and Ming Palace into the net, so that Chang Qianfo can clean up Jin Yanchen for you?" ”

"Looks like you're bringing bad news." Tan Zhou said.

Bo Xiao didn't, and asked again: "In order to frame the blame for Mu Si, you sacrificed your mother and younger brother, sacrificed Xin Hongyu, and once wanted to sacrifice Ruotong?" ”

Tan Zhou finally put down the hammer, straightened his waist, and sat cross-legged on the dusty futon, his expression was unusually calm, so that at this moment he seemed to be full of a sense of sacred solemnity, such as the solemn old way of breaking through life and death and transcending foreign objects.

And this old way is an executioner who hides in a dark corner with black and white in his hand and obliterates countless fresh lives.

"Tell me about your bad news."

"Which one do you want to start with?"

"Yaoyi."

Yao Yi is the second highest ranked killer among the highest-ranking Yao Zi Killers in the Tianzi Palace, in addition to his excellent martial arts, his mind, courage and endurance are all excellent. Mu Cangping took a lot of effort, a few captures, and a few verticals before he was brought under his command, as a sleeping dark chess piece to be awakened, waiting to give Jin Yanchen a fatal blow at the critical moment.

He was very interested to know how the Ming Palace broke the game of Yaoyi's defection.

"Yaoyi's testimony is not counted."

Bo Xiao said: "When Yaoyi was interrogated in Huairen Hall, he was assassinated. He had just been tortured and his hands and feet were tied, but he not only dodged the Penglai poison needle and three repeating crossbows, but also turned defeat into victory and forced back a sword-wielding killer with strong martial arts.

At that time, Su Hongyu was just under the pressure of Chang Qianfo step by step, and personally admitted that he only took a few personal guards and thirty Chuzhou government soldiers, and took Yaoyi in Yushui Alley. ”

"Su Hongyu is an idiot."

Tan Zhou closed his eyes and slowly exhaled: "I knew that he was useless, but I didn't know that he was so useless." He folded his hands on his knees and calmed down his breath, only then did he regain his original composure, and said slowly, "This is a lesson. No matter how perfect the layout is, it is possible that the previous achievements will be ruined because of a stupid accomplice. ”

"The accomplices are stupid, and your layout itself is not perfect."

"Reasonable." Tan Zhou was not angry or angry.

"If you can't succeed, it's possible that the opponent is too strong."

"How?"

Bo Xiao said: "Wan Ding tracked the killer with the double sword and found that the person was not the real shadow killer. The reason why he was able to sneak into Huairentang without being noticed was not because he was good at concealment, but because his light skills were too powerful. ”

"How powerful?"

"Wan Ding followed him from Huairentang for less than three miles, and he lost the people."

A name suddenly appeared in Tan Zhou's mind.

"Shangguan Yufei?"

Although there are countless people who are good at light work on the rivers and lakes, there are only a handful of people who can throw the Wanding of treading water without a trace so far.

Naturally, it can't be Mu Cangping. Chang Jihai is far away in Luoyang, and he doesn't have to think about it.

Looking at the entire rivers and lakes, there are only three people left: "Riding the Wind Wing" Yu Li, "Feng Yu Fei" Shangguan Yu Fei, and "Ziyan Fei" Chang Qianfo.

Chang Qian Buddha sat in the hall at that time. As we all know, Yu Li is good at using hidden weapons, and Shangguan Yu Fei is good at swordsmanship.

After the decline of the Shangguan family, in order to protect themselves, the clansmen moved to Lishan, lived in a simple place, and no longer set foot in the rivers and lakes. Later, Shangguan Yufei's grandfather, Shangguan Rin, got acquainted with Chang Jihai and went to Luoyang with his wife, and the three generations of father, son and grandson all worked for Changjiabao.

Chang Qianfo's extraordinary light skills are taught by Shangguan Yu Fei, and the two have a friendship of half teachers and students. Because of the phoenix flying in front, Chang Qianfo was named "Ziyan" by the people in the rivers and lakes.

A phoenix and a swallow seem to be superior and inferior in terms of name. In fact, it is difficult to reach a conclusion as to who is better than the two of them.

"A thousand Buddhas." Tan Zhou chuckled: "Changjiabao prides itself on benevolence and righteousness, and in the future, the family will actually fire crossbows in their own halls and rooms, and release poisonous needles!" ”

"I don't think there's anything wrong with Chang Qianfo doing this. A man, knowing that someone is going to hurt his sweetheart, if he doesn't fight back, will you succeed? ”

Bo Xiao sat down on the incense table with the Buddha shrine, took out a large stack of yellow paper for writing official documents in the yamen from his sleeve, and said: "This is the confession that should be copied from the Assassin's Mansion, you can see for yourself." ”

Feng Rujian, Wu San, Hu Zhu's son and daughter, as well as the confessions of the Wu family's mother and son, a total of 47 were copied. Tan Zhou turned the pages and pages, his face was surprised from the beginning, his face gradually became heavy, his brows locked and opened, and finally he sighed angrily: "I lost." ”

Half heavy, half relieved.

Tan Zhou is not a person who talks much, but looking at his current appearance, he is obviously emotional and has something to say.

Bo Xiao waited for the following.

"I didn't let Xin Hongyu come into contact with Wu Luzhi."

After a while, Tan Zhou spoke: "The person that Wu Luzhi met in Cumulus Temple was sent by Xu Younan. In other words, at least half a month ago, Xu Younan calculated that I would use Xinhong as a chess game to deal with Mu Dianke. ”【1】

"At that time, Xin Hongyu was still looking for Mu Zijin's traces everywhere." Bo Xiao obviously didn't think so: "How did Xu Younan know that Xin Hongyu would come to Chuzhou?" ”

"He doesn't know, but he knows that I will summon Xin Hongyu to Chuzhou."

Tan Zhou said: "Xu Younan has the intelligence of the Ming Palace, the five gates, thirty-five fans and brocade clothes under the palace, and there are few people who he can't dig out, let alone Mu Si. As long as he investigates a little, he can know that I want to deal with Mu Si, and Xin Hongyu is the best weapon.

Only in this way can we explain why Xin Hongyu was able to walk out of the Gusu realm unharmed" He suddenly slapped his thigh, changed his usual composure, and said repeatedly: "It's so stupid, I'm so stupid, I actually ignored such a crucial point." Mu Zijin went to southern Sichuan to find Mu Dianke, Xin Hongyu chased him to southern Sichuan, and found Gusu, how could Xu Younan not know ......"

Tan Zhou's twists and turns sounded too laborious to Bo Xiao, but there was one thing he understood.

Xin Hongyu is Mu Dianke's childhood friend, and there is an old relationship, and if Xin Hongyu has an accident, it is easy to involve Mu Dianke; Xin Hongyu has an extreme personality, loves and hates strongly, and would rather destroy what he can't get; Xin Hongyu is in love with Mu Zijin and is obsessed, and Mu Dian can have a deep relationship with Mu Zijin's brother and sister.

These are all points that Tan Zhou can take advantage of.

And Xu Younan obtained this information through the powerful intelligence network in his hands, and then deduced that Tan Zhou would use Xinhong to make a game, and dug a pit early to wait for him in front.

If that's the case, that Ming Gongmei Elder is really terrifying.
