Chapter 52: There Are Swords in the North and the South (Part II)

Bei Zangfeng held the book in his hand, looked at Xiao Zhinan calmly, and said: "I'm not here to fight, if Miss Xiao is willing to fight with others, I won't dissuade it, but I really don't want to fight." ”

Beizangfeng didn't want to fight, it couldn't be because he couldn't fight, and the world wouldn't believe it, but he really didn't want to fight.

Xiao Zhinan frowned and said, "One of the reasons why I came to Jiang Country is to fight with the strongest people in this dynasty, Shen Qiubai, Ouyang Shengxue and you Beizang Feng are my first targets. You are a disciple of Ewha Academy, although I am a disciple of Jianlu, but I am also a disciple of Beiyan Wuya Academy, in other words, we are also considered to be the same sect, and fighting in the same sect is not a fight. ”

Beizang Feng was silent for a moment, thinking that this was indeed a reason that there was no way to refuse.

At this moment, Ning Haoran stepped forward, looked across the lake, made a sword salute, and said: "I am a disciple of Jiang Guo's Sword Academy, and we are also the same family, although I am not as good as the senior brother, but I should be qualified to fight with Miss Xiao, if the girl doesn't mind, before you fight with Mr. Bei, do you allow me to challenge you first." ”

Xiao Zhinan looked at Ning Haoran.

The banks of the lake are quiet.

There was a cold wind blowing, and Ning Haoran's voice drifted along the wind to the other side of the lake.

Under Xie Chunfeng's disdainful gaze, he felt that he had been rejected, so how could Ning Haoran be qualified? It would be very boring to find some excuses from the same family.

However, unexpectedly, after Xiao Zhinan was silent, he nodded and said, "Okay." ”

......

The sun is thin, the afterglow is gone, and the night shrouds the capital Chaosi Lane.

There are two rattan chairs in the small courtyard.

On the wicker chairs sat a girl and a teenager.

On the small wooden table opposite were two empty bowls, with some soup residues at the bottom, apparently having just eaten dinner.

Looking at the occasional pedestrians passing by in the alley outside the open courtyard gate, Li Mengzhou said a little stupidly: "I think I have a lot of patience, but compared to you, I still look good, okay, I'll brush this bowl." ”

Gu Shiyan tapped her eyebrows, revealing a satisfied look.

It had been a short time since they came back from Swallow Town, and they didn't pay much attention to what happened in Swallow Town, but focused all their attention on the list they got from the Kui family, and they also acted secretly during this time, intimidating or killing some people.

The two people have been 'honest with each other', and they don't have to care about the reason for killing, they are very clear to each other, and they cooperate more tacitly when the purpose is completely the same.

But those on the list who are not in the capital are easy to solve, and many of them are still in the court, so they can not be killed at will, in order to avoid exposing themselves, they began to secretly investigate, screening the people on the list, eliminating the irrelevant ones, and killing only those who had to be killed.

Rao is like this, if they want to solve all the people on the list who have to be killed, it is not an overnight thing, and every time they make a move, they have to choose the most suitable time, this time cannot be created by themselves, they can only wait silently.

And if too many people die in the capital in a short period of time, even if they are cautious, there will be a risk of exposure, and the time must be separated, the most perfect way is to blame each other, but the prerequisites will be more complicated, when the Xuan Zheng Division appeared, they were able to evacuate as quickly as possible, so up to now, they have not killed a few people, and more time is waiting and continuing to investigate which of the remaining people have to be killed and which do not have to be killed.

In addition to these problems and avoiding Xuan Zhengsi's eyes, Li Mengzhou was more concerned about Qin Chengyi's reaction.

At the beginning, the deaths of Zhang Chong and Tang Taijing did not lead Qin Chengyi out, but if more and more officials under him died, Qin Chengyi would eventually notice something and would inevitably take action.

Compared with those on the list of killing, Li Mengzhou's belief in killing Qin Chengyi is firmer, if he can find an opportunity to successfully kill Qin Chengyi, he will choose to give up killing those miscellaneous fish, but Qin Chengyi is a prince, how can he kill if he wants to, the things involved are more complicated.

Thinking of these headaches, Li Mengzhou stood up, stretched, stood quietly under the eaves for a while, and said: "That Imperial Doctor secretly got this list, and deliberately hid it in Swallow Town, which no one could think of, who do you think he is targeting?"

According to Gu Shiyan's character, whenever Qin Chengyi's name is said, she will inevitably directly raise her sword and kill her, although Gu Shiyan is very strong, it is said that Qin Chengyi is also a cultivator, and he has a lot of guests, and powerful cultivators are also endless, and Gu Shiyan can't do anything at all.

Li Mengzhou had already considered that before revealing the idea of bringing down Qin Chengyi, he must have strong enough strength, it is still a very distant matter, even if he knows that Qin Chengyi is in the capital, he can't stand in front of him recklessly.

That is the case, it makes no difference whether Gu Shiyan knows Qin Chengyi or not, and although the identities of individual people on this list can have some relationship with Qin Chengyi, it is also wrong for him to think about it, the background of these officials and the people he has contacted over the years are not only Qin Chengyi.

It was because he only saw Qin Chengyi in his field of vision, but ignored other details that might exist, and was confined to the shackles of thought.

After all, Imperial Doctor already has the responsibility of supervising hundreds of officials, even if he knows that he is not capable of confronting Qin Chengyi, he can tell His Majesty about this matter secretly, and there is really no need to hide this list.

And this list can't be used as enough evidence to accuse Qin Chengyi, either the imperial historian wants to avoid startling the snake before continuing to investigate more evidence, and Qin Chengyi finds this list, or he has other ideas, or he is not even targeting Qin Chengyi at all.

Discussing this matter with Gu Shiyan, who is not confined to the same ideological shackles, may be able to find unexpected key details.

Gu Shiyan was silent for a while, and said: "This kind of problem is a headache when you think about it, I don't bother to think about it, no matter who the imperial historian wants to target, he must know the identity of that person, instead of dwelling on the people on this list, it is better to focus on the imperial historian." ”

The Imperial Historian of the Imperial Historical Observatory is surnamed Yue Shiting, one of the five divisions except for the Heavenly Academy, and his cultivation has already reached the peak of the Four Realms, and he is a veritable big man in the capital, second only to the emperor, the prince and the national teacher, supervising the civil and military officials, which can be said to have extremely high power, and is the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor.

Most of the people in this position are people who are extremely trusted by His Majesty the Emperor, and they are also people who are avoided by civil and military officials and are unwilling to take the initiative to provoke, because if there is any trick that Yue Shiting catches, his official career can be regarded as coming to an end.

Although it has been a while since the Kui family had an accident, Yue Shiting will definitely not be so relieved to hide the list in Yanzi Town and ignore it for many years, and the Kui family will inevitably have his eyeliner.

Li Mengzhou thought even more entangledly, if Yue Shiting really arranged for the eyeliner to be in the Kui family, the matter at that time would probably have been exposed.

But the key is who Yue Shiting arranged, if it was just an ordinary slave, the situation would naturally be very bad, but if he pretended to be Ye Xiu and became a guest of the Kui family, Li Mengzhou would breathe a sigh of relief, because those guests of the Kui family were all dead, even if Yue Shiting had eyeliner to stay in the Kui family, he would definitely not live.

Although he hasn't paid much attention to Yue Shiting recently, there is really nothing abnormal happening, he can only think in a more favorable direction, but he can't guarantee that Yue Shiting's eyeliner is not one of those wild cultivators, no matter what, focusing on Yue Shiting's movements is inevitable.

............

Jiangyan border, Wanli Plain.

Xiao Zhinan's eyes were clear, and he stood on the other side of the lake in the wind.

Ning Haoran slowly drew his sword, his voice was very soft, but it clearly crossed the lake and passed to the other side, "My name is Ning Haoran, my sword is called Ququan, but it has nothing to do with the Ququan point of the human body, but it is taken from the meaning of smelling the willows in this nocturne, and the spring water flows calmly." ”

The night sky of the Wanli Plains was filled with fog and a hazy color, and a goshawk flew high in the sky, flying towards the distant mountain.

"The last flower. ”

Xiao Zhinan's introduction to his sword is much simpler and simpler, there are many explanations for the name of the last flower, the most simple is the last flower in the world, indicating that the edge of the sword is the end every time, and there is indeed a plant called the paper end flower in the world, born in the low forest on the hillside, and it is a flower that does not exist in the Yan Kingdom.

"Good sword, good name. ”

Ning Haoran smiled and saluted with a sword, and said, "Please give me advice." ”

Xiao Zhinan drew his sword.

The last flower carried an incomparable sword intent, and instantly crossed the lake, rolled up the waves, and stabbed straight at Ning Haoran on the opposite bank.

Ning Haoran first felt a fresh breeze blowing, and then the cold lake water slapped on his face, stinging pain, and he was surprised to find that Xiao Zhinan's sword path was actually close to the sword idiot Xu Beihan.

He endured the horror that appeared in his heart, and without the slightest hesitation, he swung his sword and slashed out.

The lake is boiling.

A column of water rose into the sky.

Instantly intercepted the sword intent of the last flower on the other side of the lake.

The resolute momentum and the will of the storm collided, as if a calm lake fell a boulder from high in the sky, and in the dull sound, the fierce sword qi of the Dao was everywhere, wrapped in water droplets, which could penetrate the mountain stone and break the fine iron.

The onlookers from the capital retreated one after another, their faces full of horror.

Xie Chunfeng and Zhong Xiyan stood a few feet away behind Ning Haoran, they did not retreat, but they immediately urged the aura to resist the aftermath of those two powerful sword intents.

Bei Zangfeng held the book in his hand, looked at the water droplets flying in front of him, and muttered: "The book can't be wet, otherwise you can't ask for it." ”

As soon as the words fell, the oncoming splash of water seemed to hit a wall, shattering in mid-air a foot away from Beizangfeng, and it didn't touch him at all, and the book in his hand was still clean.

Afterwards, as if relieved, he muttered, "It's okay, it's okay." ”

Continuing to read a book, occasionally looking up at the lake, it seemed that the former was more attractive to him.

Xie Chunfeng didn't have the leisurely appearance of reading like Beizangfeng, he looked at the two sword intents that belonged to Jiang Guojian Academy and Yan Guojianlu in the center of the lake, and said in a deep voice: "Compared to before, Ning Haoran has really become stronger, which is good, otherwise it will be meaningless for me to defeat him." ”

Zhong Xiyan said: "Although Jiang Guo is not in the extreme south, but in the south of Yan Kingdom, this sword from the south and the sword from the north both carry a very high will, and I don't know which sword is stronger." ”

Xie Chunfeng said expressionlessly: "Miss Xiao's sword has come out at this moment, the world will know her strength, what is Ning Haoran? He is not the strongest sword in the Sword Academy, and he will not be ranked in the forefront of the whole world, it is not Ouyang Shengxue standing here after all, if Miss Xiao's sword is defeated by Ning Haoran, why should we appear here?"

Although Zhong Xiyan had the heart to say something, he felt that Xie Chunfeng's words were very reasonable, even though Ning Haoran was already very strong, but after all, it was not as good as the strongest sword in the younger generation of Beiyan, otherwise Beizangfeng would not have appeared here, and the capital would not have cared about this matter.
