Raging fires erupted from the depths of the stronghold, engulfing the underground passages and the hidden green buildings outside.

After Zhao Qing and Shaman looked through the account books in the stone house, they found a tunnel under several large wooden cabinets, and through it they returned to the ground and came to a garden that seemed to have been abandoned for a long time.

The two of them took a look at their surroundings and confirmed that this was an area at the junction of the north and south of the city.

The size of the building in the ancient dragon world is much more exaggerated than that of Jin Yong's world.

The city wall of the Forbidden City is as high as more than ten zhang, and the Taihe Hall at the top of the Forbidden City is even more astonishing height of dozens of zhang.

So Zhao Qing just jumped on the height of a camphor tree in the abandoned garden, and saw the solemn palace city clearly, and also understood their position at this time.

Night, the night is thick, thick as ink.

The autumn wind and barren grass, the poplar dead trees, and the bright moon like an ice tray hang in the night sky, obliquely illuminating this gloomy and desolate garden, and no one can be seen, not even a ghost.

There were no lights, no stars, and even the moonlight was eerie and deserted.

The dead trees swayed in the wind and moon, and they looked like ghosts.

Isn't such a desolate and gloomy abandoned garden a good hiding place?

Zhao Qing looked around and jumped down from the camphor tree several feet high, thinking in his heart.

More than 20 years ago, Du Tongxuan suddenly led a group of loyal subordinates to appear in the south of the capital, and bloodied several local underground gangs, winning the title of "killing people without blinking".

Like Li Yanbei, the "benevolent and righteous man of Beijing" in the north of the city, Du Tongxuan went through a full decade and participated in hundreds of hardships and hard battles, and finally gained a foothold in the capital where dragons and snakes were mixed, and became one of the most powerful people in this ancient city.

Today, the underground forces in the capital are basically under the control of Du Tongxuan or Li Yanbei.

Therefore, the rudders of the Green Dragon Society in the capital must also be within the territory of the two of them.

Instead of believing in the rudder of the Blue Dragon Society, being able to hide Du Tongxuan and Li Yanbei, who have always been scheming and rising step by step in the capital, it is better to guess directly that one of the two of them is a member of the Blue Dragon Society.

Therefore, Zhao Qing was not the slightest surprised in his heart after hearing "Du Tongxuan is the master of the June Hall".

In the past 11 years, the well water of Lao Du in the south of the city and Lao Li in the north of the city has not violated the river water, and it seems to be equally divided.

But in fact, the real strength of Du Tongxuan's side should obviously be better than Li Yanbei.

In the original work, because of the gambling agreement between Ye Gucheng and Ximen Blowing Snow Duel, Du Tongxuan almost killed Li Yanbei twice in one day, the first time was destroyed by Lu Xiaofeng, and the second time was that he took the initiative to withdraw the killing game.

After another period of time, Li Yanbei died under the drugs and knives of his thirteenth aunt because of a silver ticket of 1.95 million taels.

But this Li Yanbei's thirteenth aunt, how did she secretly become proficient in drugs? Will it have anything to do with Du Tongxuan, who made a profit in the end?

If it is said that the thirteenth aunt herself is a subordinate trained by Du Tongxuan, or even from a training rudder like "the first day of the sixth month", it would be reasonable.

In the original work, Du Tongxuan has a cooperative relationship with the Pingnan Palace, which does not mean that he cannot be the June Hall Master of the Blue Dragon Society.

In the past 20 years, Du Tongxuan's hundreds of "hard battles" are actually just wonderful performances. Judging from those underground strongholds left over a hundred years ago, the Blue Dragon Society's power was already spread over most of the capital, and there was no need for him to develop so hard.

And the reason why he did not annex Li Yanbei's territory with the advantage of strength should be so as not to arouse the suspicion of the emperor - the real master of the capital could not allow anyone to break the balance of forces.

The Chunhua Building transferred by Li Yanbei before was controlled by the Blue Dragon Society, and there was an attack on him, and it was undoubtedly the participation of this person's forces.

There is no doubt that Du Tonggang, who controls nearly half of the underground intelligence network in the capital, must have played an important role in Wu Ming's plan in the capital.

"Where does Du Tongxuan usually live in the south of the city? Do we have enough time for tonight? Shaman's gaze was as firm as a rock, as if it had penetrated the remnants of the ruined garden, and shot straight into a courtyard in the distance south of the city.

Zhao Qing groaned: "It's better to wait until dawn to find out Du Tongxuan's location." ”

The swordsmanship and martial arts that Shaman showed not long ago had actually slightly exceeded her expectations.

However, Zhao Qing immediately figured out the reason.

The original Shaman acted aimlessly and was a little confused in her heart, wasting her good talent for martial arts; And now, she finally has a firm goal and pursuit, and her sword intent is naturally a few points stronger.

It's the middle of the night, the moon is bright and the wind is clear, and the night is cold and silent.

Li Yanbei in the north of the city has thirty mansions. With a month as a reincarnation, he would change a mansion and an aunt every day for the night. And the specific location of these thirty mansions is only known to a few of his cronies.

The number of Du Tongxuan's mansions may be less than that of Li Yanbei, but the location is even more hidden. What's more, he praised himself as a scholar with the pearl of wisdom, and had friendships with many famous princes and giants of the dynasty, and it is said that he often stayed up all night at these people's homes to discuss the state of the country.

Instead of aimlessly searching the vast south of the city, wait until daylight to find a professional.

……

The morning fog is miserable, and there is already light in the east.

The gold-lettered signboard of the medicinal herb shop "Lao Qing Yutang" is shining in the morning light.

Several children gathered around the door, kicking shuttlecocks together.

A gray-haired old man, on crutches, staggered out of the door of "Qingyutang" and was almost hit in the head by a shuttlecock.

He couldn't help but bend over, gasping for breath, looking terrified.

Zhao Qing on the side supported the old man with her hand, and when she saw such a poor old man, she couldn't help but feel sympathy: "Sikong Xingxing, what are you playing here?" ”

Hearing that his identity was revealed, Sikong Xingxing immediately wanted to be lucky and jumped away. But he tried hard several times, but his body seemed to be on top of a 10,000-pound stone mountain, and he couldn't move anymore.

"Miss Zhao, are you here to ask me for help? Then again, how did you recognize me? He said with a wry smile, but he took out two pieces of candy and threw them to the two panicked children who thought they had scared others.

"How you recognize me, that's how I recognize you." Zhao Qing let go of the palm that was on Sikong Xingxing's arm, smiled and asked, "Where did Chengnan Lao Du live last night, do you have any relevant news?" ”

In addition to Li Du and the others, the most well-informed people in the capital are beggars and thieves, which is why she is specifically looking for Sikong to pick up stars.

Sikong Xingxing was almost hit by a key just now, but in fact, he used his clever kung fu to play with the children, although it seemed inconspicuous, but how could he hide Zhao Qing's gaze?

And when he recognized Zhao Qing's disguise, he naturally made a judgment through the strong internal force she emitted.

"Old Du in the south of the city? What are you looking for this sinister villain? ”

Sikong Xingdi muttered a few words, thought about it and replied: "I heard the thieves and grandsons in the south of the city mentioned that Du Tongxuan went to the Xicheng Wangfu last night to spend the night. Judging from the fact that he often stays up late, most of them have not left the palace yet. ”

"Xicheng Palace?" Zhao Qing's eyes flickered and he nodded slightly.

……

Hutong is an alley, and Tieshi Hutong is a very quiet alley, where people live in large households.

To the south of the alley, there are two magnificent red lacquer gates, and there are two tall and mighty iron lions at the gate, as if they have not moved for the rest of the world, silently squatting against each other.

The autumn morning breeze blows with gusts of chill on the golden locust trees on both sides of the alley.

The leaves fell from the big locust tree one by one, like a flying golden butterfly, and slowly fell to the ground.

Zhao Qing and Sha Man were also like two flying butterflies, fluttering over the high wall of the palace nearly four feet high.

There was silence in the high walls, and the scent of chrysanthemums and ginkgo wafted in the wind.

The yard is wide and the houses in the yard are tall.

Zhao Qing stood lightly on the eaves of the tallest roof, looked down, and saw three people slowly walking out of the house.

The leader was a young man wearing a nine-fold crown and a Baohe crown robe, apparently the king of Xicheng and the only prince who could live in the capital.

The other person's palm was wide and rough, and he followed closely behind the king of Xicheng, and it was naturally Zhao Tiezhang, the head of the courtyard of the Xicheng Palace.

But the most striking thing is undoubtedly the third person at the end.

The man was tall, thin, and very well-dressed. Although he is not very old, his temples are gray, and his face is clear and thin, as if he has three points of sickness, but he has seven points of majesty, which makes people dare not despise him in the slightest.

He was wearing a royal blue robe, the material and color were very elegant, a pair of very delicate, very well-maintained hands, wearing a priceless Hanyu wrench, and on the silk silk on his waist, there was also a flawless white jade bi, which seemed to be like a noble in the court and a bachelor in the Han Garden.

In fact, many people call him a bachelor, and he himself likes the name, but he certainly isn't really a bachelor.

This person who seems to be very well-bent is Du Tongxuan, the "old Du in the south of the city", but his murderous reputation of killing people without blinking an eye is enough to stop the children in the north and south of the city.

It is said that every time Du Tongxuan wants to kill someone, a soft smile will appear on his face, making him look gentle and kind.

And now, all of a sudden, he saw a person in front of him, and the other person had the same smile on his face.

"You are the June Hall Master of the Blue Dragon Society, Du Tongxuan?" I don't know when, Zhao Qing has fallen to the ground silently, blocking in front of him.

Du Tongxuan Tong Kong shrank suddenly, and suddenly stomped on the ground with his feet, and the soles of his shoes made a crisp metallic sound, and he retreated sharply.

But as soon as he heard the sound of metal, ten big men with blades instantly appeared behind him and rushed towards Zhao Qingfei.

The wind blew the chrysanthemums and ginkgo not far away, the chrysanthemums were silent, but the ginkgo seemed to sigh.

On this crisp mid-autumn day, the heavens and the earth seem to be suddenly full of harsh winter.

Zhao Qing could see that the martial arts of these ten great men were already considered to be good hands among the second-rate characters in the rivers and lakes, and the quenching poison blade that faintly exuded a fishy smell in his hand was even more tightly composed of a subtle combination in mid-air.

Under their sudden close-range siege, Li Yanbei, who was as famous as Du Tongxuan, even if he brought all his guards, was afraid that he would die within ten breaths.

However, Zhao Qing just sighed softly and pointed his finger lightly.

A soft sword qi came out of his fingers, and in an instant, it was divided into five and five into ten in mid-air, each of which locked on a strong-suited man.

……

The wind in the yard has stopped, and the chrysanthemums and ginkgo biloba in the distance no longer sway slightly with the wind.

Du Tongxuan's back crest was clinging to the cold house wall, and his heart was also cold, and his favorite smile could no longer be shown on his face.

Because the men he brought over, ten fully armed martial arts masters, all fell to the ground, and none of them could even get close to Du Tongxuan's five feet.

And with the speed of Zhao Qing's sword qi just now, he could be sure that the other party had surpassed all the top masters he had seen in his life, and only the legendary master behind the Blue Dragon Society could compare.

Even if he used his strength to break through the wall behind him, he would never be able to escape the other party's means.

Zhao Tiezhang was taken aback, and his left and right palms immediately turned blue and stopped in front of the King of Xicheng.

Judging from the degree of color change of his palms, his iron palm kung fu should have been practiced to eighty or ninety percent of the fire, and he was not under Jiang Chongwei of the Pingnan Palace.

But seeing Zhao Qingyi's divine power of killing ten good players, Zhao Tiezhang knew that he was definitely not an opponent, even if he sacrificed his life to protect the master, he couldn't resist for a moment, and his face immediately turned pale.

Compared with his own nursing home, the King of Xicheng didn't seem to be too worried.

He turned his head to look at Zhao Qing and Sha Man, who had just arrived and jumped from the eaves, his eyes stayed on Du Tongxuan, who had lost his posture, and asked in a calm tone, "Master Du, what's going on?" What is the Blue Dragon Society? ”

"How many do you know about the five dragon heads of the Blue Dragon Society and the other eleven hall masters? Explain it early! The long sword in Shaman's hand suddenly flickered and fell across Du Tongxuan's neck, who had given up resistance, and his voice was cold.

"Regarding the origin of the Blue Dragon Society and its current layout in the capital, if you know, tell me."

Zhao Qing walked up to him, wiped the disguised makeup on his face casually, and said in a surging voice: "You should have a share of the attack on Chunhua Tower last night, right?" ”

……

At noon, the sun was shining brightly, casting a small shadow on the dark blue eaves.

Under the shadows, Du Tongxuan kept talking for several hours, and finally came to an end.

The end of the words is also the end of his life.

Since Wu Ming set up a situation against himself, Zhao Qing would certainly not let go of his right-hand men in the capital.

According to Du Tongxuan's statement, plus the news she had already learned: Wu Ming already suspected that she was the swordsman who fought with He Shangshu and others at the Yangcheng Port at that time.

And even if this didn't happen, because Zhao Qing's martial arts that had previously revealed were enough to interfere with the execution of his plan, Wu Ming would still send someone to test the attack.

Having said that, since he dealt with himself because of his strength, can it be deduced that this "World Sword Meeting" is actually to deal with all the top masters in the world?

Zhao Qing's eyes were full of contemplation, and he suddenly turned around and looked at the King of Xicheng, who had already retired from the courtyard and had a solemn expression.

"After listening to it for so long, you should have a rough idea of the scale and influence of the Blue Dragon Society." She said: "I want to see the emperor and help deal with this problem, how about you help me introduce me?" ”

The Ming Dynasty in the ancient dragon world was elevated, including the Taiping King, the Pingnan King, the Xicheng King, the huge number of silver in the rivers and lakes, and so on.

According to Zhao Qing's intelligence, this king of Xicheng is considered the cousin of the current emperor, and he has a good relationship with the emperor, otherwise it is impossible to stay in the capital forever. Du Tongxuan made a special trip to visit the palace in order to find out the emperor's recent actions from him.

Wu Ming used the power of the Blue Dragon Society and the Invisible Man Organization against himself in the capital, so he asked the emperor to agree to use the military forces around the capital to eliminate the other party's forces in turn.

"Do you want to see Your Majesty today and let him give an order to deal with this Blue Dragon Society, which has the ability to threaten the society?"

King Xicheng's eyes flashed, and he said slowly: "But at present, the power of the Blue Dragon Society is only limited to the battle in the rivers and lakes, and there is no need to listen to the heavens. ”

In fact, he has a lot of internal strength cultivation, and his skill is above Zhao Tie's palm, so he can stay calm in the sudden changes that occurred before.

"'The sky is as blue as water, and the flying dragon is in the sky.'" The Blue Dragon Society is already comparing itself to the sky, let alone the person standing behind it? Zhao Qing said surgingly: "Don't you understand this? ”

The king of Xicheng was silent, he naturally understood what the other party said.

After all, Zhao Qing was a shocking martial artist, and he already had the ability to assassinate the emperor in the depths of the Great Interior, although he didn't show any malice, he still didn't dare to take this big risk.

However, if things were reversed, if Zhao Qing only had the martial arts strength of Zhao Tiezhang, even if she said it wildly, the King of Xicheng would probably only regard it as a lie, and would think of convicting her of trespassing on the palace and disrespecting the royal family.

After a long time, he slowly replied: "I will report this matter to my brother as soon as possible and ask him to decide." ”

"The sooner the better." Zhao Qing reminded: "You don't want the people of the Blue Dragon Society to send a master to take revenge after discovering that Du Tongxuan died here, right?" ”
