Chapter 33: A Secret Contest

It was late at night, and in the study of Bishui Villa, Weiyang was lazily leaning on a wide chair in a white shirt, playing with the jade talisman in his hand.

"Young master, tomorrow you and Sanjiu will go first, Cangxin and Feng Xi will secretly accompany each other, and I will leave a day later." Qing Jin is arranging tomorrow's itinerary, which is 1,400 miles to Luochuan, and there are still five days before the martial arts conference, so there is enough time to do it without having to travel quickly.

"The beggars set off half a month ago, and the news that came back from Wujiu said that Elder Lin left Linchuan yesterday, but he did not go east, and stayed in an ordinary family in the eastern suburbs." Sijiu changed out of the ragged clothes on weekdays, and after washing up, he looked very handsome, and the young man looked like a girl.

"Just because it's an ordinary family, I need to go tomorrow." Qing Jin also learned from Weiyang's laziness, but his brows were furrowed.

Feng Sai's voice was cold, and he said impatiently: "Why wait until tomorrow, just go and find out tonight!" ”

"You don't have to go, Wujiu is extraordinary, and there will be news back after a while." Cang Xin has always been cautious and thoughtful, and everyone no longer argues.

"He must be waiting for someone when he stays there, and that person is not allowed to appear in public, and it is inseparable from the affairs of the beggars. Forty-nine, you send a message to Five-Nine, and don't act rashly, his task is only to follow, and we will arrange other things. Weiyang pondered the contents of those letters, and when he met people in a secret place at this time, he thought that he had to meet them in person.

"The beggar gang has been in the hands of the young master for ten years, the young master does not ask about the help, the forces of all parties within the beggar gang are seriously divided, and the four elders have their own selfishness, grabbing land and then manpower, raising such an unbearable scatter today. Now that the martial arts conference is no longer provocative, it is inevitable that someone will want to fish in troubled waters to replace it, and the young master has already made plans. "Cang Xin has been secretly observing the beggars' every move for nearly three years, and has mastered the first-hand information of the beggars, so he knows everything about it.

"I'm not afraid of the beggars' rebellion, I was too young to be deceived by the seven-fingered old beggar, I don't need to feel sorry for his apprentices. It's just that I am entrusted by others to be a loyal person, and the person who dies under my nose must always have an understanding, and now what we have in our hands is not enough to find the murderer for him, but this martial arts conference has just made up enough reasons, and I am finally going to be freed, and I will not be in vain for ten years of ups and downs. Weiyang's eyes gradually sharpened, but people became more and more lazy.

"The young master is not completely uncontrollable over the beggars, but on the surface he does not manage them, and allows them to set up their own mountains; In fact, those people have our people in the most inconspicuous but essential positions in their hands. According to the truth, Sijiu's calm appearance and appearance are not commensurate with half a point.

"Qingjin, Anxinlou is known as the No. 1 intelligence agency in martial arts, and in recent years, I have been very interested in Youlongxin Pavilion, it's time to give them some sweetness." Weiyang looked at Qingjin half-seriously and half-jokingly.

"Where will the young master put the news out?" Qing Jin smiled.

Weiyang people are as light as water, "An Xinlou is now in charge of the long house An Order, and the eldest son An Yuxuan seems to be a playboy, but in fact, he is quite scheming and has some means; The second young master, An Yuqing, is inseparable from Chu Li, and is an all-round talent in civil and military affairs. Yasui Yoshi, the second room, has no heirs who can get his hands on it; Sanfang Yasui Yoshio only has one daughter, who is as beautiful as a flower, and now it is the year of marriage. Anxin Building has been in the market for the past few years, and this martial arts conference will definitely have a home. ”

"Young master, An Yuqing is a civil and military all-rounder, and has a deep friendship with King Li, and he is a person who is King Li. An Yuxuan has outstanding appearance and precise thinking, and he is the son of a long house, An Xinlou's successor should be his, and such a family needs to fight for power? Qing Jin was puzzled.

"An Xinlou stood on the wrong team back then, and devoted himself to the king of Lucheng, but in the end, he failed and suffered a great loss of vitality; King Ning was defeated and took Lucheng, and Anxinlou was able to be safe and sound, relying on the method of giving up all the dark piles and getting rid of the golden cicada. Now that An Yuqing has made it clear that he wants to be Chu Li's arm, if he knew that the pregnant woman in Pian Ruodian was from Lucheng, would this pool be more muddy? After Weiyang finished speaking, he hummed lightly: "Interesting, An Xinlou has been the internal response of King Ning of Lucheng for many years, but An Yuqing intends to climb the big tree of Chu Li, and it remains to be estimated who is more loyal." ”

"Young Master, how can you be sure that the person in Pianruo Hall is the King of Lucheng?" Qing Jin was a little surprised, such a double secret related to martial arts and royalty was placed anywhere, and the consequences would be explosive.

Weiyang's eyes drifted to Cang Xin and blinked twice.

Cang Xin nodded resignedly, and said: "A few years ago, I left Beijing for four months, and traced all the way from Jinguancheng to Lucheng, but I didn't have much harvest because of the age, but I found something strange, someone paid a lot of money to buy the life of the beggar gang leader, and he wanted to live." The buyer was from Lucheng, and the man's whereabouts were hidden, and it was impossible to find out who it was. ”

Cang Xin pondered for a moment and then continued: "I went all the way to Lucheng, and I resolved countless explorations, some people are very concerned about strangers coming and going to Lucheng, and Lucheng can be said to be heavily guarded. Our people have also been secretly contacted, and that person has been able to hide in Lucheng and be safe, and he is afraid that he has a lot to do with the Lord of Lucheng, but the matter is tricky, and I heard that the young master was assassinated, so I have to go back temporarily. ”

Qing Jin looked at Weiyang again, as if asking.

Weiyang pursed his lips and was silent.

"I just entered the Bishui Manor that day, and I heard that everyone entered the city, and I didn't stop entering the city overnight, and it was at that time that I saw a tall person, climbing up from the city wall and going in the direction of the palace, and the light skills used by that person were very similar to the young master's heavenly demon steps. I was curious and followed, the man was familiar with the road, and there was obviously someone in the palace to answer. I followed all the way, and saw him enter the Pianruo Palace, and there were people guarding in the dark outside the hall, and I didn't dare to approach for fear of startling the snake. ”

"Therefore, I was waiting outside the north wall of the palace for half a month, and the man came again. This time I was fully prepared, and I looked at it very carefully, and it was the Heavenly Demon that was not bad. So I quietly followed behind him but didn't dare to follow too closely for fear that he would know, and the man was very alert, and finally lived up to his painstaking efforts. That woman is a dark move, a heavy move with the king and grandson of Lucheng. Cang Xin said that he was silent again.

"The seven-fingered beggar picked up a child back then, was about ten years old, and raised it for five years and kept it with him. Until he was poisoned, the child disappeared, along with a perennial jade talisman in the hand of the seven-fingered beggar. As he spoke, Weiyang raised his hand and threw out the jade talisman in his hand, and one corner of the square jade talisman rotated rapidly on the table.

Sijiu looked at Weiyang with some surprise, and reached out to pick up the jade talisman that had not stopped and looked at it carefully, "Young master, this thing is the token of the beggar gang leader?" ”

"Fake!" Weiyang winked at him earnestly.

Sijiu touched his nose and looked at the thing in his hand a few more times, so that Qiaoli threw out the jade talisman and made it spin again like before.

Weiyang stretched out his hand to get it back and still pinched it in his hand to play, "The world only says that the token of the beggars to order the people to help is the jade talisman, but they don't know that there are four pieces of this thing, which are carved with 'loyalty', 'brave', 'faith' and 'righteousness', and the seven-fingered beggars are lost in righteous characters." ”

"What does the young master mean, the other three seven-fingered beggars have been passed on to the young master?" Qingjin squinted like a fox.

"Indeed! The meaning of each word is different, and a single word can command the world to help the public. If what I expected, I will be driven by this martial arts conference. Weiyang still looked indifferent.

"The civil strife in Eastern Chu is already a doomed situation, and the secret struggle between Prince Yue and King Li has become known to the whole dynasty, such as the hidden force of King Lucheng suddenly erupted, and the three-legged force still doesn't know what the situation is." Cang Xin looked at Weiyang intently, with a strong sense of worry.

Qing Jin listened for a long time before asking tentatively: "What does the young master mean is that An Xinlou is still the person of the King of Lucheng, and An Yuqing is the hidden stake buried by An Xinlou next to King Li?" ”

"Yes or no, just let out the news of Pianruodian!" Cangxin said cautiously.

Qing Jin frowned and asked, "An Xinlou doesn't really think that no one knows about helping the King of Lucheng rebel back then?" If someone sends the news to the palace, he is not afraid of being beheaded all over the house? ”

"He's scared, but he won the bet!" Weiyang said slowly in a long voice.

Qing Jin suddenly realized: "Anxin Lou is using this to test the reality of the Longxin Pavilion? ”

"Of course the Youlong Xin Pavilion is real, and the account of his betrayal of the You Long Xin Pavilion has not yet been calculated! It's just that You Long Xin Pavilion doesn't bother to work for the person who killed his brother and sister-in-law! Cang Xin felt a feeling, suddenly looked at Weiyang, and said movingly: "Young master, is that one still unwilling to show up?" ”

"It's not difficult for him to show up, and if the news is released that the emperor is ready to move Concubine Shu's tomb into the imperial mausoleum, he will definitely be touched." Weiyang didn't have to wait for Cang Xin to say who he was looking for, so he told everyone for sure that Concubine Shu was the final limit of that person.

Cang Xin secretly admired, the young master's mind is unmatched.

The group finished talking and went back to their rooms to rest.

The next morning, Weiyang called the four maids to his side, and carefully explained his whereabouts, and how she should deal with herself in the days when she was not in the villa.

Linglong was a little sullen, "Miss, you take me, I can still serve you along the way!" ”

Weiyang bent his finger to flick her head, "I don't know what you think about it?" Death, impossible! ”

Linglong was told by her own young lady, so she had to cover her head aggrievedly, and followed a few people to pack her bags for the young lady.

The ice and snow in Zhongshan melted, and Weiyang went out of the courtyard to carry the Heavenly Demon Foot to the Broken Sky Temple on the top of the South Mountain.

"Girl, you're here, it's time for you to come!" Weiyang was about to fall in Hui Yan's courtyard, and he heard the old monk's questioning. He rolled his eyes and kicked in the door.

"Dead girl, this is a quiet place for Buddhism, can't you be more solemn?" Hui was so angry that his beard curled, the most failed thing in his life was to make such a little friend, alas, he was unladylike when he met someone.

"Old monk, where's my stuff?" Weiyang sat down on a futon next to the old monk and looked at Hui Yan with slanted eyes.

The old monk lifted a secret door from under his bed and entered the secret room with Weiyang.

"If you go to Luochuan, I'm afraid it's not peaceful. Although I haven't asked about the affairs of the rivers and lakes for many years, there is always some news uninvited, and it is time to rectify the idleness of the beggar gang in the past ten years. As he spoke, Hui Yan took down a scripture book from the bookshelf on the side of the secret room, the scripture book was hollow, and a rosewood box was built, and the paste was heavy, it was an old thing.

Weiyang took the scripture, spun the mechanism and unlocked it, and the three jade talismans and a piece of blood in the box were safe and sound. Stretched out his hand and carried a piece of jade talisman, and his green fingertips swiped lightly along the lines on the jade talisman, "Old monk, I will disturb your cultivation with ordinary things, and force the world's ordinary people to inherit your mantle, can you blame me?" ”

Hui raised his head in disgust and brushed his beard with one hand, "Things in the world have their own fate, and the practice of the previous life is destined to cause and effect in this life. ”

The old monk's dumb words, Weiyang heard it clearly, grabbed the three jade talismans in his hand and played, and then responded softly: "I don't want to run away when I should come, I must always be worthy of him when I was entrusted by him, and now it is the right time to do this." ”

"Old monk, how about telling me about this piece of blood amber?" Weiyang finally held the piece of blood in the palm of his hand, and the blood pearl seemed to have a soul, and the thick blood mist flowed slowly.

Hui was gloomy.

Weiyang didn't urge, let him be silent, and the blood mist on Ren's hand became thicker and thicker.

"This is a sacred relic in your mother's clan, and I am afraid that only you can carry its mist without being harmed in this world." Hui Yan looked at the blood that seemed to be about to flow out of her little hand, gave up the struggle, and slowly recounted the past that he didn't want to remember.

"Your mother is from the Butterfly Valley, and because she fell in love with your father back then, she was planted by the jealous people in the valley. Your father didn't know it until you got married, and your mother had a bleeding butterfly on the back of her neck overnight. Your mother finally died because of this, I don't know the details, but the poisonous saint son Mochen and your father were close friends, and it was he who saved your mother's life for six years before giving birth to you and Gongzi Han, and he was the only one who knew about it. Hui Yan thought of the situation when Mu Wenji was holding a brush here, who would have thought that the daughter of the beautiful son and himself had become friends.

From beginning to end, Weiyang never asked, she has been in charge of Youlong for many years, and she has no reason to know the past that everyone knows, but the poisonous saint Mochen is like evaporating from the world, disappearing for many years and never appearing again, she has been searching for many years without success, and she can't help but feel sad.

It was nearly noon, Weiyang used vegetarian food with the old monk in the temple, and then got up to say goodbye to see the sun shifting, "I'm leaving, if I return safely, I'll play chess with you for three days." ”

Hui Yan didn't get up, and said solemnly: "If you have to return safely, but you need me a heart, most of the Bodhisattva statue in my scripture pavilion was burned in that fire, it was still your father's handwriting more than 20 years ago, and now I need you to continue, just meditate and cultivate my nature, and accompany me to practice for a few days." ”

"Good!" The good word Weiyang fell into the door, and the person went out.
