Volume I, Chapter 6 Means

Previous Chapter

At the third watch, two black shadows came to the crotch bridge.

One person raised his head, looked at the archway by the moonlight, and asked in a low voice, "Isn't it a crotch bridge?" What about bridges? How is it a torii? ”

Another said: "What a fuss. Can't you sell alcohol in a teahouse? Pharmacies also give away eggs for promotions. ”

The other party said disdainfully: "You are called strong words." ”

"Come with me, don't make a sound." Ma Yangchen shushed.

The two turned around and came to an alley.

Ma Yangchen said in a low voice: "You wait for me by the wall, and if someone comes, you will learn to bark as a warning." ”

"Get out!"

Seeing Ma Yangchen enter the courtyard wall, Zhuo Qingyan was furious.

Fortunately, after a while, Ma Yangchen turned out, carrying a big burden in his hand.

"Let's go."

Zhuo Qingyan was nervous for a while, and reached out to grab Ma Yangchen's hand.

Ma Yangchen didn't care, took his hand, and left quickly, and there was a dog barking in the distance.

"What's the call? I'm out. As soon as he turned around, Zhuo Qing was embarrassed and almost wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into.

Ma Yangchen quickly let go of his hand and said embarrassedly: "I didn't mean to. ”

Zhuo Qingyan was nervous for a while, and stammered: "You go... Stealing..."

"No, no, no, you go back to the inn first, don't go through the front door, and go in through the back door. Stuff to see tomorrow. ”

"Hmm." Zhuo Qingyan didn't ask in detail, his emotions were still stuck just now.

Nothing was said all night.

Early the next morning, Zhuo Qingyan was woken up by a knock on the door.

As soon as the door opened, Ma Yangchen squeezed in and closed the door again.

"Come and see, what is this?" The excitement hasn't passed yet.

The burden was opened, and Zhuo Qingyan's eyes lit up.

It turned out to be a very beautiful small sword, up and down the ruler and a half, with a seven-colored sword spike, a gilded scabbard, and a dark ruby embedded at the head of the sword, which was dazzling. The sword is out of the sheath, the sword light is cold, and the sword edge is extremely sharp.

"What is this?" Zhuo Qingyan asked worriedly.

"Neon Sword."

"What?" Zhuo Qing stood up in a daze.

"Don't get excited, sit down and listen to me."

Zhuo Qingyan looked at Ma Yangchen incredulously.

"Who the hell are you? How do you know the whereabouts of the Neon Sword? Where's my father? A litany of questions surrounded her.

Ma Yangchen patted Zhuo Qingyan's shoulder and said, "Listen to me tell you slowly." ”

"Mu Dongfeng told you, I'm a closed disciple of one of the three elders of the rivers and lakes, the half-sword scholar, right?"

"Well, I know that."

He was only half right. I also have another identity, I am the righteous son of the second of the three elders in the rivers and lakes who do not laugh at the monk. ”

"What? The righteous son who doesn't laugh at the monk? ”

"That's right, I was on the day I finished my studies. My master's half-sword scholar made a bet with the monk who didn't smile, and bet on whether I could catch the monk who didn't smile fifty moves. As a result, my master won, and according to the bet, the monk should accept me as an apprentice. But the monk did not give an apprentice in his life, and he did not want to break the vows, so he had to accept me as a righteous son, and sent me a half-idle residence to let me be the shopkeeper. ”

"Semi-idleness is not a smiling monk's industry?"

"Don't laugh at the monk's common name before he became a monk, Xue Banxian, and few people on the rivers and lakes know it."

"Since you are a semi-idle shopkeeper, why doesn't Wu Xiaofu know you?"

"I'm the shopkeeper in name only. They don't know I exist, but I know all the secrets of the semi-idle, including their sources, hiding locations, including treasure spots. ”

"So the place we went to last night was a half-idle treasure trove?"

"Yes. It's just that I didn't dare to confirm it before, so I didn't disclose it to you in advance, so don't be angry with me. ”

Zhuo Qingyan shook his head for a while, and muttered: "You let me slow down, let me slow ......"

Ma Yangchen was afraid that she would think too much, so he handed the sword into Zhuo Qingyan's hand.

Zhuo Qingyan suddenly stopped and said: "That is to say, you don't have to pay for the news in the future, if you take the news and then sell it, will we send it." ”

Ma Yangchen's face was black.

"No," Zhuo Qingyan suddenly stopped, and said, "Since the Nishang Sword is in the hands of Ban Xianju, is my father killed?" ”

"Look at this." Ma Yangchen had two more bamboo tubes in his hand, pulled out the stopper, and poured out a paper tube inside.

Zhuo Qingyan opened it and wrote: "Zhuo Bufan Huaiyin was attacked, seriously injured and rescued, and his whereabouts are unknown." '”

Flipping through the pages, he didn't see the handwriting anymore, Zhuo Qingyan frowned: "That's it." ”

"Look at this again." Ma Yangchen handed her another bamboo tube.

"Wanmatang was wiped out, and Cui Wufu was beheaded, which is suspected to be done by Xiu Sun and Yue."

"Ahh Zhuo Qingyan was shocked.

"I guess someone is targeting Wanmatang, and the Neon Sword is just an introduction."

"What's next?"

"I stole the neon sword, and the half-idle will inevitably go out. You may be able to find out who is behind it. The most important thing for us now is to find Ling Zun's whereabouts. Ma Yangchen is trying to pit himself, and he never dreamed that the future shopkeeper would give such a big problem.

"How?" Zhuo Qing was in the clouds.

"We're now disguised and stalking Wu Xiaofu."

"Where to look?"

"They'll look for us, and I'll leave a trail guide. Go to dinner first, you can take the neon sword with you. ”

The semi-idle people are very efficient, and before breakfast is finished, the little loach comes to the door.

Looking Ma Yangchen up and down, the little loach's eyes were a little unfriendly today.

"Childe's methods are indeed clever."

Ma Yangchen clapped his hands and said, "It's easy to say." ”

"The sword is in your hand, and you are half-idle, but Childe seems to have forgotten that your purpose is to find someone."

"That's right," Ma Yangchen stopped Zhuo Qingyan, who wanted to speak out, and said, "We can talk about business." ”

"You say." The little loaches have nothing to fear.

"You put all your manpower and energy into finding someone, the money will be paid, and the sword will be returned at that time, how about it?"

"Deal. However, I would like to remind you that if you carry the neon sword with you, it will invite unwarranted disasters. ”

"Don't worry about it." Ma Yangchen got up to leave, Zhuo Qingyan glanced at the little loach and followed out.

didn't go far, but found that Mu Dongfeng appeared at the intersection, followed by a man in Tsing Yi.

"What's the situation?" Ma Yangchen nu mouth.

"Raise money to buy news, and by the way, I received a little brother." Mu Dongfeng looked proud.

"It's just right, the little loach in the inn should still be there, you need a fresh face to keep an eye on him, you let your little brother go over."

Mu Dongfeng nodded, beckoned Han Liuxing to his side, and muttered a few words, Han Liuxing's eyes did not blink, but his eyes kept staring at the neon sword in Zhuo Qingyan's hand, although the sword was wrapped in cloth.

For a moment, K-pop was reluctant to leave.

Mu Dongfeng followed Ma Yangchen and said, "It's arranged." ”

"Is it reliable?"

"Don't worry. The people of the Han family in Huaiyin are very reliable. "Mu Dongfeng Haikou boasted a lot.

And the first tracking of the Korean Flu Star failed.

He looked at Mu Dongfeng and said, "From the beginning, I followed closely. ”

"Close-fitting?" Mu Dongfeng covered his face.

"That's right! Tracking is afraid of losing people. ”

"Where are you following?" Ma Yangchen felt that he really had to be trained.

"Before you even reach the entrance of the alley, the people are gone."

"Okay!" Ma Yangchen gave Mu Dongfeng a thumbs up.

Mu Dongfeng looked innocent.

Han Liuxing's eyes were still on the sword in Zhuo Qingyan's hand.

Zhuo Qingyan put the sword on the table and muttered: "The sword is for you, can you keep an eye on people." ”

"Great!" Han Liuxing picked up his sword and was about to leave, but was blocked at the staircase by Ma Yangchen.

"Sword down."

Mu Dongfeng hurriedly reconciled: "I'll talk about the sword later, can you keep an eye on people first." ”

Han Liuxing looked around, reluctantly put the sword back, and said, "There seems to be an injured person in the Lotus Nunnery." The owner of the Lotus Nunnery has already woken people up. ”

Mu Dongfeng sighed.

Han Liuxing was silent.

Ma Yangchen roared: "Brother! Thank you. ”

When everyone rushed to the Lotus Nunnery, Wu Xiaofu had already led a group of people to wait there.

Ma Yangchen sighed in his heart and could only move forward.

Everyone, all the people waiting at the Lotus Nunnery said in unison: "Welcome to the review of the shopkeeper." ”

Ma Yangchen shook his head, took out the square seal in his arms, and said, "Wu Xiaofu stays, and the rest of the people are on guard." ”

The people took the command and departed.

The little loach was the most embarrassed, leaned forward, and said: "The shopkeeper, the little ones also have eyes and don't know Mount Tai, don't worry about it." Zhuo Bufan is in the Lotus Nunnery, and there is no danger to his life. ”

Before Zhuo Qingyan finished listening, he hurried to the nunnery.

Mu Dongfeng followed, turned around and said to Ma Yangchen: "You can do it!" I'll hear you explain it in a moment. ”

Ma Yangchen took out a handful of peanuts from his arms, turned around and sat down on the steps, and said, "Who will tell me, what is the situation now?" ”

The little crab took a step forward, bowed down and said, "Shopkeeper, this is your three hundred taels, I will return it to you first." ”

Ma Yangchen put the silver ticket into his arms and said with a smile: "Tell me about the current situation." ”

The little turtle also followed, and interjected: "The shopkeeper, the raid is the twenty-four solar terms of the Cloak Society, their purpose is not to use the neon sword, but someone to offer a reward for his life, and the gold lord behind it should be Xiu Sun and Moon." ”

"How's the people?" Ma Yangchen nodded, he knew the existence of Xiu Riyue, and he also understood the complexity of the serial vendetta in the rivers and lakes.

"It's okay with people, but it's estimated that you have to lie down for half a month. We only took the neon sword, and we didn't intervene deeply. ”

Ma Yangchen nodded and said, "Now that the organization has been adjusted to first-level alert, the people on the surface have all been transferred underground, and the main task of the few of you is to transfer Zhuo Bufan away." The Lotus Nunnery is all sealed. ”

"Understood." The little crab took a step forward and said, "The owner of the Lotus Nunnery is a friend of the old shopkeeper, and there is no problem with sealing it." ”

The little loach seemed to have something to say, but hesitated and said, "Shopkeeper, although Zhuo Bufan's injury is not fatal, it is not suitable for transfer now." ”

Ma Yangchen frowned and said, "You were fired." ”

The little loach was stunned, and everyone was shocked.

Ma Yangchen said: "I don't listen to problems, I only care about the results." I can't do it and leave. ”

The little loach was pale, did not answer, and had mixed feelings in his heart.

The little crab glanced at the little loach, swallowed his saliva, and said, "What the shopkeeper says is what it is, and no one has any objections." ”

"Yes!" Everyone immediately responded.

Ma Yangchen got up and patted the soil on his buttocks, and said, "Everyone will gather for a meeting at the Huaiyin General Rudder in three days." ”
