Volume 1 Wandering in the Rivers and Lakes Chapter 31 Someone sent news from Gaoqing
The five birds didn't know why Gou Yuan praised a human boy so much, but seeing that this young man was neither humble nor arrogant, there was no joy on his face, and he also looked at it a few times in his heart.
After saying a few words of praise in passing, the five birds still took out what they had just said and listened to Beng Yunfeng: "If he is free in the future, he can learn from each other." ”
Lin Zining bowed down and thanked him, and then stopped talking.
Then Hook Yuan and the five birds walked back to their seats, and Lin Zining was also ready to go back to the seat, but Beng Yunfeng seemed to be stunned, standing there motionless, standing still in a moment, standing out from the crowd, very abrupt.
Everyone present focused their eyes on Beng Yunfeng, and there were a few eyes that were the most interesting.
The first is the catfish seventeen who is sitting on the right hand seat of Hook Yuan, obliquely facing the clam cloud wind, seemingly expressionless and cold-eyed, but seems to be thoughtful.
The second is Qian Shuixie, who is standing on the left side of Hook Yuan, he has been staring at the direction of Beng Yunfeng and Lin Zining since the beginning of the banquet, and at this moment the corners of his mouth are grinning, his eyes are slightly narrowed, and he is full of smiles.
Then there was Lin Zining, his eyes looked directly at Beng Yunfeng's side face, first shocked, and then a melancholy flashed in his eyes.
The last gaze was that Beng Yunfeng was separated by four seats, a burly young military general with a square face and round eyes, and a nail-sized meat/regiment from the top of his head to his neck, that gaze was both envious and ruthless, and then he turned his gaze to Lin Zining, also with a complicated expression.
Lin Zining took advantage of the fact that Gou Yuan and the five birds were still facing away from everyone, and hurriedly walked to Beng Yunfeng's side and dragged his hand down. Sure enough, Beng Yunfeng's hands hidden in his sleeves were holding hard.
Feeling that someone was dragging him, Beng Yunfeng came to his senses, and when he turned around and saw that it was Lin Zining dragging him, he couldn't help but feel disgusted, and waved his hand violently, which suddenly made Lin Zining's body unstable and almost fell.
Lin Zining stabilized his body, did not speak, and had no expression on his face, but just tidied up his clothes a little and returned to the table to take a seat.
Beng Yunfeng and Lin Zining's actions just now were basically seen by the people who participated in the banquet.
Among them, there are those who are cold bystanders, there are those who gloat, there are those who are worried, and some even feel that something big will happen in Tawau and they need to take sides.
The people present have their own thoughts, but they are roughly divided into three types of people, one is like Cat Seventeen, who is deeply trusted by Gouyuan and holds great power, so he naturally sits firmly in Diaoyutai; Figures like Beng Yunfeng and Qian Shuixie, although their status is also important, they are already threatened by people like Lin Zining; The three hope that Tawau will rise in the wind and become powerful people in the midst of the chaos.
Lin Zining knew very well that Gou Yuan wanted to make himself the banner of the third type of people, and Gou Yuan hoped that during his departure from Tawau, Cat Seventeen would be in charge, so that the remaining two factions would fight to the death, and retreat to the second, and let the Tawau Aquarium see blood.
When Lin Zining sat down, Gou Yuan and the Five Birds Sanren would also come to the seat, and they heard Gou Yuan say: "Since the last time I said goodbye, I haven't seen the Sanren for many years, and we wait for the water tribe to live at the bottom of the lake, and I don't know what changes have happened on the land. Scattered people must have heard a lot of strange things when they travel all over the world, so it is better to listen to them with us in the future, so that we can increase our knowledge.
When the five birds heard this, they didn't shirk it, and said in a flat tone: "During this trip to Zhuzhou, I have indeed seen a lot of talented people and heard a lot of anecdotes, and there is one thing I have to say. ”
"Oh, then please tell me quickly." Hook Yuan was very cooperative.
"Speaking of which, this matter is still related to my senior brother Yang Ren, I came to Chuzhou to go to Chuyang Mansion to find him, but I don't want him to be involved in this matter." The five birds continued.
When Gou Yuan heard this, he was actually involved with Yang Ren, and he was a little more interested, and everyone in the hall also listened attentively.
Although Lin Zining didn't know that after he was kidnapped by Gao Qing and Li Qi, Sun Shuchang, the assassin of Chuzhou, sent a message to Yang Ren and asked him to preside over the pursuit of evil cultivators. But when he heard that Yang Ren was the envoy of the Chuzhou Patrol Court of the Baozhen Academy, he faintly felt that Yang Ren would have something to do with Gao Qing and Li Qi.
"Everyone, listen to me carefully, there is a Demon Sect in Shuzhou that has been inherited for thousands of years, called the Blood Devouring Sect. It is said to be the remnant of the Heavenly Demon Sect of the Great Sect of the Ancient Demon Gate, and it is quite powerful in the southwestern states. The current head of the Blood Devouring Sect is named Sun Liang, and he is a monk who has been cultivating for nearly a thousand years. ”
"Somehow, six months ago, Sun Liang suddenly led his disciples to massacre the people in the southwestern states and set up altars, so there was the encirclement/suppression of evil cultivation in Jingshu Qiang Baqin and the six states of Xingyuan Mansion in the Western Capital, and it was my senior brother's old friend Fei Zhengde who presided over the pursuit and suppression of evil cultivation in the southwest."
"Three months ago, the monks of the Blood Devouring Sect broke through and escaped, one was trapped in Shuzhou, and the other came all the way east and went into exile in Chuzhou, and my senior brother has been busy chasing down the monks who were exiled to Chuzhou recently."
Hearing this, Lin Zining was sure that what the five birds were talking about was Gao Qing and Li Qi, and Gou Yuan and Cat Seventeen also remembered the situation when Lin Zining fled to Tawau that day.
Gou Yuan said: "The incident that the Sanren said happened to be related to my Tawau Lake."
"Why?" The five birds were puzzled in their hearts.
"Because Wang Lecheng hid in Tawau to escape this wave of evil cultivators."
Gou Yuan's words made the five birds quite curious, and they couldn't help but ask: "Gao Qing is Sun Liang's most proud disciple!" Wang Gongzi was so young that he was able to escape from them? ”
There was both surprise and suspicion in the words of the five birds.
This is Cat Seventeen spoke: "It's better to let the Wang scribe tell everyone how he got out of trouble." ”
Lin Zining didn't want to talk about this incident the most, although it was his own personal experience, but he didn't tell Gou Yuan and Catfish the truth on the first day he came, since it was his own identity and story, if he told too much, it was inevitable that there would be flaws, and if there were more people listening, he would inevitably be discovered.
But Cat Seventeen's words were unanimously responded to by everyone, Lin Zining was helpless, got up and walked to the middle of the lobby, and said what he said in front of Hook Yuan and Cat Seventeen that day.
After Lin Zining finished speaking, everyone sighed that he was lucky and bold, but the five birds knew that Lin Zining was lying.
Gao Qing and Li Qi cultivated the Blood Devouring Dafa, how could they not perceive the qi and blood of living people, if they were an ordinary man who could avoid them, Gao Qing and Li Qi should have committed suicide a long time ago to thank the ancestors of the Blood Devouring Sect. Lin Zining didn't know the power of the Blood Devouring Sect firstly, and secondly, he also bullied the Hook Yuan Catfish Seventeen, who had never seen the world, and didn't know that there was such an evil kung fu as the Blood-Devouring Dafa in the southwest corner thousands of miles away.
But the five birds did not expose Lin Zining, since he made up a lie, then the truth behind the lie is more valuable, rather than making him ugly in public, it is better to ask for advice afterwards.
After Lin Zining finished speaking, he returned to his seat, and when he came back, he saw Beng Yunfeng's gloomy eyes, knowing that he and his Liang Zi had completely knotted, no matter how weak he was, he would not have the possibility of drinking with Beng Yunfeng.
After Lin Zining went back, the five birds scattered people and continued: "Just as Wang Gongzi said, the disciples of the Blood Devouring Sect who fled from Shuzhou to Chuzhou were the only two left, Gao Qing and Li Qi, and Gao Qing was Sun Liang's most proud disciple, and he got Sun Liang's mastery. The two were injured by Fei Zhengde's son and the monk Fa Ming of Fengguo Temple when they fled, and after healing in Chuzhou, they fled all the way south, wanting to go south to Jin Wuguo. ”
Unexpectedly, these two people are also decisive, if the two of them are allowed to flee to Jin Wuguo, it is indeed difficult for the Great Sui Empire to send people from the imperial court to arrest them. A few of the impatient generals present hurriedly asked, "Can those two escape?" ”
The five birds did not sell Guanzi, and said: "Just when the two of them were passing through the southern capital to protect the mansion, Gao Qing suddenly relapsed into an old disease......
"Bang" As soon as Lin Zining heard the news, his body stiffened, and he was so shocked that he dropped the wine glass in his hand to the ground and cracked into pieces.
Cat Seventeen followed the voice and saw that it was Lin Zining who dropped his wine glass, and hurriedly asked, "Le Cheng, what's wrong with you?" ”
Lin Zining hurriedly relaxed his body and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm fascinated by it, I didn't hold the cup." ”
Although everyone was a little confused, they didn't say much.
Wu Yusanren continued: "Gao Qing's old illness recurred, and he and Li Qi were trapped in the Shuanglong Valley between the three mountains and two valleys, the Shuanglong Valley was more than five hundred miles long, and at the end of the south was the Jin Wu Kingdom. It is said that when they were trapped, they were less than a hundred miles away from Jin Wuguo, and it was just two sticks of incense for them, but it was a pity. ”
Lin Zining was already wary of the five birds, and when he heard this, he even put him on the opposite side, not only could he not have deep friendships, but he also had to be more guarded.
Someone else asked: "Then these two people should have been arrested by the Yang Yuan Envoy now, right?" ”
The five birds replied: "If my senior brother hadn't arrived, maybe I would have been able to let them escape, but since my senior brother is in charge, the two of them will be unable to escape." ”
When everyone heard this, they felt the pleasure of the end of the big play, and they talked to the left and right.
At this time, Wuyu Sanren suddenly added coldly: "If what I expected is correct, in a few days, the two of them will be escorted to Zhenhai County, and the Zhenhai County Order should first interrogate the bloody case in Huanglong Town, and then deal with it." ”
Why did the five birds add this sentence? Is it just to tell the story from beginning to end? Lin Zining felt that it was not so simple, but he couldn't say what was wrong.
When the banquet arrived here, except for Beng Yunfeng's loss or even resentment, the rest of the people were talking and laughing, which could be regarded as the joy of the guests and hosts.
Cat Seventeen announced that the banquet was over, Lin Zining breathed a long sigh of relief, but saw the five birds scattered people smiling at him, Lin Zining didn't know what the intentions of the five birds scattered people did, so he could only bow down and salute.
When the five birds walked out of the main hall, Lin Zining also followed the crowd and walked out, and just as he was about to walk out of the Doufu Palace, he heard Cat Seventeen calling himself.
Lin Zining thought that Cat Seventeen had something to tell him, but he didn't want to, it turned out that Gou Yuan wanted to explain to him.
Following Cat Seventeen to the backyard of Doufu Palace, Lin Zining saw that the yard was planted with colorful plants, and the fragrance was compelling. I don't know how many turns I made, Lin Zining finally saw Gou Yuan standing in a pavilion, looking up at the wall of water with blue light.
Before Lin Zining walked to Gou Yuan, he saw Gou Yuan pointing to the water wall outside the pavilion and asked, "Le Cheng, you have been in Tawau for forty or fifty days, and you have read a lot of books in the library, so do you know how long this water wall has been standing?" ”
