"Master Miao, I haven't seen you for a long time."

Qianhu Zeng Hong slowly walked out of the darkness, Miao Yunyong saw his expression was wonderful, and he was stunned for a moment before he reacted, and he said in an unkind tone: "Even if it is Jinyiwei, there should be an explanation for trespassing on my Wudang Mountain Gate without permission, right?" ”

"What does Master Miao want to say? All right. ”

Zeng Hong smiled and hooked a futon with his foot, and sat opposite Miao Yunyong with such a big grin, and then he took out an ordinary long sword from the cloth bag he carried, and the sword was still stained with some blood stains that had dried up for a long time.

"Does Master Miao recognize this?" Zeng Hong asked.

Seeing the blood on the sword, Miao Yunyong's heart immediately sank, and he secretly said that this brocade guard was really not good, but he said calmly: "I don't recognize it." ”

Zeng Hong nodded, without giving any explanation for Miao Yunyong's answer, he paused, and then said to himself what happened a few days ago: "A few days ago, there was a murder in Beijing, and Chen Zihua, the head of the Chen family in Yunzhong, was killed in Yanchun Tower. ”

"Chen in the clouds? My Wudang doesn't have much intersection with them," Miao Yunyong frowned: "Dare to ask my lord, what does this matter have to do with my Wudang?" ”

"Don't worry, boss," Zeng Hong smiled slightly, and then continued: "Although there are no clues on the corpse painted by Chen Zi, the two guards he brought with him were also killed, and these two guards were killed by Taoist martial arts. ”

Hearing this, Miao Yunyong's face suddenly became ugly, and sure enough, Zeng Hong immediately said: "Jinyi Wei has carefully examined it, and the martial arts that killed the Chen family's guards are one of the famous swordsmanship of the Wudang faction, and the finger is around the soft sword. ”

"This can't be, this matter must be framed by a plot of the little ones." Miao Yunyong flatly denied it.

Looking at Zeng Hong, who was smiling, Miao Yunyong said in a deep voice: "The finger around the soft sword is the superior swordsmanship of the Wudang faction, and there are not many martial arts in this sect that can use this martial art, and since Wudang closed the mountain, no disciple has ever gone down the mountain privately, so what the adults said is bad." ”

"This is not right," Zeng Hong pretended to be surprised and said: "I heard that there are rumors in the rivers and lakes that the sword demon who once made a big fuss about the Wuyue Sword Sect is a disciple of Wudang. ”

Miao Yunyong's eyes widened slightly, and he only heard Zeng Hong say in a wordy manner: "This sword demon can easily kill the Tianfeng Dao Master of the Hengshan Sect, and his martial arts must no longer be under the head of Miao, so it is not unreasonable for him to use the Wudang sword technique to kill people in Beijing." ”

"Please be careful!"

Miao Yunyong said with a serious expression: "I, Wudang, have never admitted the origin of the sword demon, and my lord has put this responsibility on the head of my Wudang faction with just a few rumors, I'm afraid that people in the world will not believe it." ”

"Well, what Master Miao said is also reasonable, but even if you don't talk about this sword demon, I heard that Master Miao's junior brother Wuchen is also not in the mountains, right?"

Zeng Hong bowed slightly, and then pretended to be distressed and said: "Even if you don't talk about this, but this person is using the Wudang swordsmanship, is there any other family other than the Wudang faction that can use the martial arts of your faction, this official is lonely and unheard, and please give the head a word or two." ”

Miao Yunyong was speechless for a while, he really wanted to say that the rivers and lakes can treat other martial arts as a side dish casually, and there is only one Xiaoyao faction from ancient times to the present, but who doesn't know that the Xiaoyao faction is now wearing a pair of pants with Jinyiwei, and saying this will only bring humiliation to himself.

The atmosphere in the hall was silent for a while, and then Zeng Hong laughed and said: "Okay, Master Miao, we can be regarded as old acquaintances, today's matter is considered that your Wudang yellow mud fell into the crotch of your pants, and this official has no choice but to do business." ”

Miao Yunyong said in a cold tone: "What do you want?" ”

"Since the martial arts of the human prisoner came from Wudang, the origin of this human prisoner naturally needs to be explained by the Wudang faction."

Zeng Hong got up slowly, and he said casually: "This official also knows that it is impossible for Wudang to go all the way to the capital to kill an unrelated person, so this case can't be solved at all, but after all, it is a person from the family who died, so the matter should still be done, please pick two disciples from the head of Miao and go with the official." ”

Miao Yunyong's face became very gloomy for a while, and he forcibly suppressed his anger and said, "My lord's meaning, please forgive me for not understanding the poor way." ”

Zeng Hong stepped forward and patted Miao Yunyong's shoulder with a smile, and said earnestly: "Master Miao, we don't say secret words, since this matter has fallen to Wudang, then it can only be regarded as your bad luck, you can just pick two disciples who are not successful to go with this official, and close this case, hello, I am good, everyone is good, isn't it beautiful?" ”

Miao Yunyong's fist on his side clenched a little bit, he stared at Zeng Hong with eyes full of anger, and asked angrily: "Take the lives of innocent people to cover up your incompetence, what a brocade guard with a mirror hanging high!" ”

"Hahaha-"

Zeng Hong couldn't help laughing, he shook his head, stretched out his finger and nodded Miao Yunyong playfully, he said: "Master Miao, you really can't see the sand, this official admires your justice and righteousness, it's just, for your own selfishness, it's not appropriate to make the entire Wudang faction uneasy, I'm afraid, right?" ”

At this moment, Zeng Hong is like a cunning businessman, lowering the bottom line of others little by little.

"Or, hand over one or two disciples, and the official will go back to hand over the errand, and the head of Miao will be safe and sound, or everyone will do business, please go with the official in person and explain it clearly."

Zeng Hong said with a smile: "The official's good words are the first, the people of the family are not as good as you and other chivalrous people, if the head of the family still uses today's statement, if you want to convince them, I am afraid it will be a little difficult." ”

Miao Yunyong's expression gradually calmed down, and he said in a tone that rejected people thousands of miles away: "My lord, I don't need to say it anymore, I will never do such a ridiculous thing." ”

Zeng Hong's words seem reasonable, exchanging the lives of one or two ordinary disciples for the safety of the Wudang faction, but in fact, this is a sinkhole that fills the dissatisfaction.

Indeed, Miao Yunyong's primary responsibility as the head of the sect is to protect the interests of the Wudang faction, but he will not achieve this goal by sacrificing his own lives.

Once Miao Yunyong retreated once today, he will retreat countless times in the future, once he opens the head of the small family for everyone, it will be out of control, today is the Jinyi Wei dignitary, tomorrow may change the family to ask for it, it is impossible to be calm.

"Your Excellency, please come back."

Miao Yunyong said: "If Wudang is at fault, please also ask the lord to take out the book of the court to speak, and the poor Dao will definitely give an explanation to the lord at that time." ”

Just now, Zeng Hong suddenly appeared and caught Miao Yunyong off guard, but in fact, he was able to figure it out when he calmed down, if Jin Yiwei really wanted to take someone, how could he come in quietly at night, the other party must have something to do, so he acted like this.

Zeng Hong smiled and glanced at Miao Yunyong lightly: "The head of Miao is a little different from the rumors, since the head of the family has made up his mind, the official will not say anything more and leave." ”
