Chapter Seventy-Nine: A Dream Passes Away
(Thank you for today's support from Little Feet, 2 Shuai, Prince and Strengthened Company.) (οΌοΌ
When the master of the Seven Rings and the master and apprentice of enlightenment stepped into a small courtyard of a farmhouse at the foot of the Hanging Temple Mountain, there were also two strong men in front of the Mengfu Gate who gradually faded out of people's sight in Guangqi City, both of them were twenty-seven or eighteen years old, from the sackcloth they wore and the straw boots on their feet, it can be seen that their identity is not a dignitary in Guangqi City, otherwise they would not be so shabby, although now the two of them wear hats to cover the wind and snow, but if they walk in, they can still see a hint from their faces on the bridge of their noses, People can't help but guess that the hats on the heads of the two may not be just to cover the snow-not only do these two people look very similar, but there is no big difference in the expressions on their faces, and they look indifferent, as if this cold wind is like a sword, wind and snow, and the weather is not only freezing everything in this world, but also frosting their hearts.
But the people who live here all the year round have never seen such a pair of twin brothers in Guangqi City, they only know one of them, that is, if you ask the guards of Guangqi City who are responsible for guarding the city, they will probably answer with a confused face, You Guangqi City does not have twin brothers of this age living here.
In fact, the twin brothers have been living in Guangqi City for nearly fifteen years.
Their names are Wan Xiangqian and Wan Pengyuan.
Although the similarity of the two looks is more than 90 percent, if you have the heart, you can still identify it from the width of their foreheads, but people are always like this, only sweep the snow in front of their own doors, few people care about the frost on the tiles of others, people living in the west gate of Guangqi City should know Wan Xiangqian, because he is the shopkeeper of a blacksmith called the broken knife shop, from the name of this blacksmith can be seen how the business of this blacksmith is, they often see Wan Xiangqian with a few guys striking iron in front of the firebox, day after day, year after year, if no one buys the sharp blade, it will be thrown back into the furnace and then made into a swordγ
If you see Wan Pengyuan, it is estimated that the neighbors of the broken knife shop will not help but ask themselves: Is the person who strikes iron all year round Wan Xiangqian or Wan Pengyuan?
Wan Xiang did not knock on the door after the two brothers came to the Meng Mansion, but went around to a secluded and dark corner and turned over and entered the Meng Mansion, and stayed in the Meng Mansion for nearly two hours before coming out of the main gate, and when they came out, the indifferent expressions on their faces finally subsided a little, but instead of joy or excitement, it was an indescribable sadness.
The darkness slowly closed the curtain on the continent like a curtain, and Wan Xiangqian and Wan Pengyuan disappeared into the darkness one after another.
The iron door of the Meng Mansion was closed tightly again, as if it had never been opened at all.

Back at the residence, Qiao Er did not go to Lu Yu's room as before, but followed Liu Yi to the study, and now Qiao Er and Liu Yi took the dark incense team and others live not far from the City Lord's Mansion. Since the Emperor of Yanguo Lu Tianxing ascended the throne in Guangqi City eighteen years ago, the city lord's mansion of Guangqi City has been in vain, because the military power of Guangqi City is in the hands of Lu Tianxing's government in Guangqi City, the government is called Guangming Mansion, and the supreme commander is the governor, and it is also called the army by Yanguo, because the purpose of their existence is to balance the city lord's control over the army in the area under their jurisdiction.
After the Buddha Massacre incident, with the rise of troops in Jiangzhou and Xijing, many cities in Yanguo had an existence like a governor, and the power of the city lord was more or less affected, of course, there were exceptions, just like Qingyun City, Lu Tianxing clearly knew that the defenders of Qingyun City, the Qi family, would not listen to their orders at all, unless they died, because of this reason, Lu Tianxing did not set up a government in Qingyun City.
Therefore, the Qi family army in Qingyun City was all killed except for Qi Luoge, because the Qi family army only listened to the orders of the Qi family.
The situation in Guangqi City was the most miserable eighteen years ago, and all the defenders were taken over by the governor, unlike the Phoenix Army, whose numbers were only reduced by half.
These armies that were originally famous in the continent are now in decline except for the Qilin Army, just like the old saying about fatalism in Yan Guo, "Blessings and misfortunes depend on them, and misfortunes and blessings lie in wait." "The strength of the Qi family army led to its demise eighteen years later, and Li Haoran, the city lord of Guangqi City, is now unofficial and light, but lives freely in Guangqi City.
The living are freer than the dead, and those who are dead are better remembered than the living.
The place where Qiao Er, Liu Yi and the others live is the residence of a staff member of the Guangming Mansion - Liu Yi has always believed that the safest place is the most dangerous place, which is also the reason why he chose to stay in Lihuo City back then, in the eyes of outsiders, Liu Yi is killing himself like this, but he doesn't know that Liu Yi's most powerful thing is not the invincible iron fist, but a soft sword, which is also the reason why Liu Yi likes swords to go sideways.
This staff member is a member of the dark incense team, ranking fifth among the brothers of the dark incense team, others call him Luo Wu, as for what the name is, few people remember, before Liu Yi took Qiao Er and others to Guangqi City, he could have stayed in Yan Shoucheng's blacksmith, although the ironshop is small, but there is a secret passage underground, because Yan Shoucheng is not only a good ironworker, but also a skilled craftsman who sets up organs, just like half of the mechanisms in the secret passage under Liu Yi's residence in Huocheng are from Yan Shoucheng's hands.
Liu Yi, who came to Guangqi City, did not enter the tunnel under Yan Shoucheng's iron shop, but once again chose to take a risk, he first met with Yan Shoucheng, and then discussed with Luo Wu, plus Qiao Er, the four of them acted in a unique scene of thieves shouting to catch thieves: using a dying beggar as a stand-in for Yan Shoucheng- Qiao Er is well versed in the way of disguise, and there is naturally no problem with the appearance of the beggar, and he can be absorbed by Lu Tianyu, the governor of Guangqi City, as a staff member, Luo Wu does have something outstanding in strategy, and he takes some deliberate details as clues, and soon the beggar who pretended to be Yan Shoucheng became a fugitive, but he was 'killed by mistake' when he was caught.
The evidence is in hand, there is no proof of death, the deceased is the person who 'strictly guards' him, and this scam has not revealed any flaws from beginning to end.
Yan Shoucheng's death can be said to be a plan to kill three birds with one stone, Yan Shoucheng in disguise will not attract attention when he is active in Guangqi City in the future, this is one, and it can also allow Luo Wu to be trusted and reused in front of Lu Tianyu, the most important thing is that the safety of Liu Yi and others will be guaranteed, although it is a bit dangerous to live in Luo Wu's residence, this is based on the assumption that Luo Wu's identity is recognized, if Luo Wu is safe in Guangqi City, then, as long as Liu Yi and others are not too ostentatious or have nothing to do, and there is the token that Luo Wu got from Lu Tianyu hanging on their bodies, they can basically come and go freely in Guangqi Cityγ
And because Luo Wu's residence is close to the city lord's mansion in Guangqi City, the relationship between Li Haoran and Luo Wu is not bad, Liu Yi got up this morning and wondered if he was looking for an opportunity to contact Li Haoran, the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake This truth is not only understood by Liu Yi, although Lu Tianyu now holds military power, and some civil and military officials under him manage Guangqi City, but Guangqi City is after all the place where Li Haoran has lived since he was a child, Lu Tianxing made such a big move, but he did not dare to slaughter all the monks in the Hanging Temple and the monks in Guangqi City, what is the reasonOf course, he was afraid of the Hanging Temple, but Lu Tianxing finally blamed Li Haoran for this tone or all the blame - could Li Haoran still be able to control the monks of the Hanging Temple and not take in Lu Yu's mother and son?
According to Liu Yi's guess, Li Haoran may have been jealous of Lu Tianxing for a long time, even if he didn't, Liu Yi really didn't believe that Li Haoran didn't have any complaints about Lu Tianxing, as long as there were complaints, Liu Yi believed that he would definitely turn the turbidity in Li Haoran's heart into a raging fire during the holidays.
"This is the list of personnel scattered around the place by the Dark Incense Team over the years. Speaking of this, Liu Yi paused and looked at Qiao Er, "Second brother, you can't take these lists out, you have to keep them all in mind now, because these people can't die anymore." β
"I understand that. Qiao Er looked at the list in his hand, his face unconsciously showed a trace of greed, the list is very detailed, who is in what city, what official position is in the current tense, and there is Liu Yi's evaluation of whether he is still loyal to the master or not.
Looking at Qiao Er, who was silently reciting the list, Liu Yi turned around and came to the window, looking at the flying snow outside, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he remembered what Mo Li said to him at the beginning, there can be no second person in this world who knows this list except you.
"Big brother, Shoucheng is already suspicious of his son, give me a little more time, and I will definitely find out. β
The truth is always discovered after suspicion and betrayal.
Liu Yi clearly knew that Qiao Er would not leave Guangqi City in the near future, and although the names on this list were there, who knew if they were from the Dark Fragrance Squad? Thinking of this, Liu Yi turned to look at Qiao Er, and meditated on the second brother, even if you know that I lied to you in the future, I hope you don't blame me, because the rest of the Dark Fragrance Squad's people are related to our plan to restore the country, and I can only believe in myself now, because I also doubt the identity of the son.
Even Liu Yi himself didn't know that he was already suspicious of Qiao Er, who was convinced.
Thinking of what Su Qin said to himself at the end, Liu Yi couldn't help but think of Su Qin's face, is what he said true?
It doesn't matter if it's true or not, the important thing is that he didn't kill Su Qin at that time, and now that he thinks about it, Liu Yi is a little proud in his heart, this is a risky move.
It's just, where is Su Qin now?

That night, Su Qin had a very strange dream, he dreamed that he had returned to the mountains, back to when he was a child, when he was lying in a burden, a woman's tears dripped on his face, waking himself up from his sleep, when Su Qin tried to open his eyes, trying to see the woman's appearance, but he didn't see anything, the woman seemed to say something to herself in the end, but at that time, the brain was buzzing and only saw the woman's lips open and closed but couldn't hear any sound.
Then he carried himself with a strong hand, and before the man left, he was stopped by the woman, who came to him and kissed him lightly on the forehead.
The night in the dream was blood-colored, and there was a faint neighing of war horses.
Although he didn't see the woman's face, Su Qin clearly knew in his heart that the woman was his mother.
After waking up, Su Qin suddenly lost his sleepiness, and lay on the bed with his eyes open and tried to recall the episode in the dream.
Huh? Seems to have heard the bells as well?
Su Qin felt that this was not just a dream, it seemed to indicate something.
Thinking of this, Su Qin suddenly smiled, this was the first time he smiled after knowing that Makino had been arrested, because he knew where he was about to set off.
Su Qin didn't know that there were also people there waiting for his arrival.
- Damn, I finally straightened out the plot in the outline, and I was very happy to think of the plot that I was going to develop in the future.
