In the curfew capital, there are often military guards patrolling, in addition, the only one who can walk is only to fight the watchman, but compared with the inner city, the patrol of the outer city is slightly lax, so Li Mengzhou easily avoided the patrol guards who could only meet once in half an hour, and appeared in Tongming Lane.

Thinking about Jian Shuxuan and Ning Haoran, he had some strange thoughts in his heart.

Although he believed that the fourth senior brother was very strong, he couldn't ignore Jian Shuxuan's monster, and with the strength of the fourth senior brother, even if he just met, he should be able to detect the strength of the opponent, but he could still deal with it very calmly.

This is also a kind of power.

"If you want to become a real strongman, you have to forget your fear, but you should overcome your fear and face it head-on, I'm a sword cultivator, there's no reason to be afraid. ”

Since the age of fifteen, Li Mengzhou has rarely felt fear anymore, but when facing Jian Shuxuan's powerful force that can crush him, no matter how calm he is on the surface, he can't deny that he did have fearful thoughts in his heart.

Jian Shuxuan should be the first peer to be feared by him.

The other party is only two or three years older than him, but the gap is unimaginable.

Li Mengzhou put aside this thought for the time being, pushed open the courtyard door with white feathers with a solemn face, and stepped in.

Tongming Lane was originally brightly lit.

It's the same in the small courtyard.

Jiang Tingyu sat by the pond to feed the fish, and Qing Yi stood under the eaves with a sword.

None of them reacted to Li Mengzhou's arrival.

Jiang Tingyu continued to sprinkle fish food.

Qingyi continued to stand straight like a stake.

Li Mengzhou thought to himself, you are quite leisurely, I was almost killed.

"I thought you should be in the prison of Xuanzheng Division at this moment, but I didn't expect to be able to run here. ”

The golden carp fed in the small pond did not seem to be lively at all, and the fish food floated on the surface of the water, and there were no fish to eat.

Li Mengzhou watched silently, and then said: "I'm afraid these fish are all supported, if you feed them again, you may be able to eat them for supper tonight." ”

Jiang Tingyu didn't care about Li Mengzhou's answer, and said with a smile: "These fish are very spiritual, but they are quite stupid, I sprinkle as much fish food as they want, they will eat as much as they want, and they will naturally hold on, now it must be very uncomfortable, if not, they will definitely compete for food." ”

Li Mengzhou frowned and said: "Since the head of the courtyard knows the actions of the Xuan Zheng Division tonight, he must also know what is happening in Chaosi Lane, in the final analysis, the Xuan Zheng Division is targeting the head of the hospital, and I am just more unlucky, now that I am in trouble, the head of the courtyard can't stand idly by, right?"

Jiang Tingyu smiled and said, "This doesn't look like a begging attitude." ”

Li Mengzhou said depressedly: "Since I am an agent of the Heavenly Academy, the head of the academy also has the responsibility to protect me, so I can't be begging you, and I really didn't kill Taijing." ”

Jiang Tingyu didn't bother with who killed Taijing, but said: "Xuan Zhengsi made some mistakes, naturally he will be punished, Xu Hexian thought that he should arrest you in prison and use some means to make you confess, and if you don't admit it to death, he won't dare to really kill you if he can't produce evidence, in fact, when you appear here, the situation is already unfavorable to Xuan Zhengsi." ”

Li Mengzhou said: "But my friend ...... The distant aunt was arrested by Zhu Zaitian, and she was afraid that she would not be able to stand the torture of Xuan Zhengsi, so she still had to come forward as the head of the hospital, as long as she rescued people, Xu Hexian would have no means. ”

He could probably guess that Jiang Tingyu wanted to catch the handle of Xuan Zhengsi, and if he got involved in tonight's incident and forced Xuan Zhengsi to not do it, the handle would be equivalent to giving it up, this is a confrontation between Xu Hexian and Jiang Tingyu, whether it is Li Mengzhou or Gu Shiyan, they are just important chess pieces that both sides want to control.

Xu Hexian was able to use the case of the murder of Taijing to impeach Jiang Tingyu in the court, and Jiang Tingyu could also use the irregular actions of Xuan Zhengsi to oppose the army, and Li Mengzhou is an indispensable figure here.

Looking at Li Mengzhou, who was a little anxious, Jiang Tingyu smiled calmly: "Don't worry, I won't sit idly by, I just need to wait for the best time to make a move, but I think I also need you to promise me one thing." ”

Li Mengzhou felt that there must be a problem here, and said with some caution: "Since the head of the hospital is willing to make a move, and he has been prepared for a long time, then whether the person who is arrested is me or my distant aunt, the head of the hospital will eventually make a move, why should I promise you any conditions?"

Jiang Tingyu looked at Li Mengzhou with a strange expression, and said softly: "But you are standing here now, you are a member of my Heavenly Council, and it is natural for me to protect you, but your distant aunt has nothing to do with my Heavenly Council, if you don't agree, I won't save you." ”

Li Mengzhou said angrily: "You are obviously cheating on me!"

Jiang Tingyu said with a smile: "Then it depends on whether you are willing to jump into this pit." ”

Li Mengzhou said hatefully: "I am an agent of the Heavenly Council, so the Heavenly Council should also protect the safety of every secret agent's family, this is inevitable, why should I have additional conditions?"

Jiang Tingyu smiled: "It's just up to you whether you want to, if you don't want to save her, if you don't agree, it doesn't matter to me anyway." Xu Hexian's target is mainly you, since you are not in his hands, then even if he makes that girl confess, he will not be able to threaten me. ”

Li Mengzhou used to think that Jiang Tingyu was a detached and extremely shameless person, inexplicably coerced him to join the Heavenly Council, and now he is engaged in this kind of trick that is completely inconsistent with his status as the head of the Heavenly Council, which really makes people want to kick him in the face with the sole of his shoe.

But that's just a matter of thinking.

Not to mention whether he dares or not, even if he really kicks it, he will only be unlucky in the end.

Although Jiang Tingyu looks much younger than Xue Wangyou, there is no doubt that they are all big people standing on the same level, and they are existences that can only be looked up to.

Li Mengzhou can't ignore Gu Shiyan after all, even if he feels that he has never been a good person, but there should still be principles, whether it is because of some secret relationship between Gu Shiyan and Fujidong, or getting along under the same roof for so many days, and just escaped from Chaosi Lane through her, Li Mengzhou should be responsible for saving her.

He hesitated for a moment and asked, "What do you want me to do?"

Jiang Tingyu said softly: "Actually, it's a very simple thing, and it's not bad for you." The day of the opening of the Panlong Banquet is approaching, and those young monks in the Jiang Kingdom who have crossed the threshold of the Three Realms or even the Four Realms are qualified to attend the banquet, and what I want you to do is to achieve a certain ranking in the Panlong Banquet, not to mention the first place, the second place must also be required. ”

Li Mengzhou frowned, he had never thought of participating in the Panlong Banquet, although it was the best stage for a young cultivator of Jiang Guo to become famous, but he didn't have much interest, but as Jiang Tingyu said, this request really didn't hurt him, he was just very strange, why did Jiang Tingyu have to let him go to the banquet, and he had to get the second place position at the very least?

Before he could ask, Jiang Tingyu continued to speak with a calm expression: "The road of sword cultivation is full of ups and downs, especially the sword cultivation that has not grown up, and the countless cultivation mountain gates in Jiang Country, including those mountain and field cultivators, but those who have the qualifications to go to the banquet, most of them will come to the capital, it will be a gluttonous feast for young cultivators, and it is always beneficial to have more contact with these people." ”

"Sword cultivation is destined to walk in the world, know more about the means of monks outside, you can also have more self-protection ability, before you can't hold the sword to overlook the world, try not to close the door, the sword of sword cultivation is to need constant fighting to become stronger, lonely self-appreciation is not in line with the identity of sword cultivation after all. ”

Li Mengzhou looked at Jiang Tingyu and said with a somewhat complicated expression: "Why is the head of the courtyard so good to me?"

He always feels that there is a big problem with a person being inexplicably good to you, except for family members who don't need a reason, the rest will be related to interests.

He couldn't figure it out, what could Jiang Tingyu get from him?

Jiang Tingyu smiled and said, "Does this really need a reason?"

Li Mengzhou felt that there should be a reason, but there was really no reason for many things in the world, Jiang Tingyu stood at a height beyond his reach, and everything seemed to have a reason, but it didn't seem to need any reason.

He didn't think much about it anymore, waved his hand and saluted: "Although my current cultivation realm is not enough to get the first place in the Panlong Banquet, but there is still half a month left, I will try my best to make myself stronger, and the matter of my distant aunt, please ask the head of the courtyard." ”

Jiang Tingyu pondered for a moment and said: "After all, the trouble brought by Xuan Zhengsi is because of the case of Xuan Taijing, and even the matter of the military general, and as long as the murderer surfaces, then your problem can naturally be solved, and Xu Hexian has no right to continue to detain your distant aunt, I will let him swallow the bitter water obediently back into his stomach and send people out." ”

Li Mengzhou vaguely understood what Jiang Tingyu was going to do, I was afraid that this matter needed a substitute for the dead, and he didn't have to worry about who would suffer from the unwarranted disaster, Jiang Tingyu would definitely arrange the most suitable person, and it was impossible to find someone who was innocent.

He sighed to himself and said: "I don't deny Zhang Chong's death, after all, Qingyi was also present at the time, but I really didn't kill Taijing, I didn't shirk my responsibility, but it was the truth." ”

Jiang Tingyu smiled: "I believe you." ”

Li Mengzhou felt that he must not believe it.

Thinking that under the orange tree in this Tongming Lane, Jiang Tingyu said the words 'I believe you' with this smile, but the idiot also knew that this was definitely not his heart.

However, the actual situation is that Jiang Tingyu was indeed very suspicious that Taijing was killed by Li Mengzhou, and he could even be basically convinced, but after Li Mengzhou denied it many times, he also began to feel as if he had thought something wrong.
