"Did you find the tea boss this time?"

After Qian Chao found Tang Ping and the other four companions, Tang Ping's first sentence asked Qian Chao if he had found the owner of the Yiming Restaurant.

"Unfortunately, no." Qian Chao said.

Tang Ping frowned when she heard this, why didn't she meet it?

"But I didn't run in vain, and I made a lot of gains this time."

"Oh, what's the catch?"

"Well, this time I got another painting from there."

"Isn't that the same as the last time?"

"Well, but the painting is different, I'll show you back."

"Oh."

That night, the five of them had another big meal in Song Fenglou according to Lu Pingchuan's words, of course, only Lu Pingchuan was very happy.

"Come on, money boy, this ......"

Tang Ping said and handed over an object, and Qian Chao saw that it was still a boxy piece of wood, dotted with stars.

"We saw it when we were wandering around, and we knew you were curious about it, so we bargained for it, what the hell could it be?"

Qian Chao naturally didn't know it now, so he looked at it carefully and said: "You always have to collect more to see a famous name, how many spirit stones did you buy this thing?" ”

"It's not expensive, that guy fooled us, he actually wanted five spirit stones, and then I coaxed and scared Brother Li together, and the last spirit stone was bought."

Li Jian? Qian Chao didn't expect Li Jian to be good at bargaining, so he couldn't help but look at it curiously.

Li Jian smiled and said:

"The guy who sold things was startled when he saw us, or the last time you inquired about the soil woman, he must have known that someone was going to deal with us, probably thinking that we must have been poisoned, so when he saw that we were there in a good manner, he was startled first, and I could scare him."

"I see."

Qian Chao said, his eyes glanced at a somewhat familiar figure flashing in Song Fenglou, and then said to a few companions: "Well, last time, that Liu Gongzi was probably looking for us again." ”

At night, the five of them were in Qian Chao's room.

Qian Chao also took out the painting he got from Yiming Pavilion and showed it to a few companions.

"That's it......" Tang Ping frowned and looked at the painting, as if she didn't like it very much.

"Eh, that's a good drawing." This style of painting is pleasing to Lu Pingchuan.

"Is this painting famous?" Li Jian naturally couldn't understand it.

"This painting is too messy, it doesn't look like a master painting, it's much worse than the last painting." Yan Xuan said.

Qian Chao smiled, took out the atlas given to him by Tang Bonian, opened a few pages, then pointed to the map and pointed to the "flowery" map with his fingers, and said:

"And now? Can you see a difference? ”

I have to say that Tang Ping is also an extremely smart girl in the end, she only looked at the map a few times and immediately shook her eyebrows, grabbed the atlas in the suspicious eyes of several companions and began to compare the "flowery" map, as her eyes swept back and forth, her fingers kept swiping on the painting, and her face became more and more surprised, and finally she also looked at Qian Chao in disbelief:

"This ...... This turned out to be ......"

"Ah Ping, what do you see?"

Not only Yan Xuan was puzzled, but Li Jian and Lu Pingchuan didn't understand.

"Come, Sister Yan, Brother Li, Brother Lu, look, let's take this biggest word as the words of the Five Spirit Sect, Yao, and then look at this map, the main spirit veins identified by my sixth grandfather can correspond to the branches next to this flower, almost exactly the same ......"

"Oh?"

"Oh, according to the map, the location here should be the Little Lotus Lake in Youming Valley, look here, it is also a flower, but it is much smaller."

At this time, Li Jian and Yan Xuan roughly understood, only Lu Pingchuan was still ignorant.

"Who the hell is that tea boss? Could it be that this painting is really the distribution of all the spiritual veins here in our Five Spirit Sect? ”

"Well, I think that's it, oh, here, remember what this place is?" Qian Chao said as he put a little on the "blossoming flowers" picture, and the place in the dot was also a flower.

"It's ...... Where is it? Tang Ping said and went to look through the map.

"This should be the cage we found." Qian Chao said, "And, look, on the whole picture, there are a total of nine flowers that are exactly the same......"

Qian Chao clicked on the painting again and found the remaining eight flowers.

"I estimate that these eight places ......"

"Are there all those huge monsters that are suppressed by the formation?" Tang Ping's eyes widened.

"Pretty much, I can check it out when I have time, but I'm most interested in this place."

Qian Chao said that he started to draw all the way on the "Blossoming Flowers" map, and finally stopped at a place, where what was drawn was just an inconspicuous small flower bud, very small, inconspicuous, and the flowers and branches next to it were intertwined.

"Here?"

"Cold Spring Valley!"

……

There was a knock on the door, Qian Chao walked over and opened the door, and it was the personable Liu Gongzi standing outside the door.

"Young Master Liu, please come in."

This Liu Gongzi walked in and found that the four partners of Qian Chao were still there, and he had the experience of the last time, and he was no longer surprised by this, and bowed to everyone.

"Mr. Qian, Miss Tang, a few, you are polite."

"Young Master Liu, please sit down, I don't know if you come here at night, what advice does Young Master Liu have?"

"Oh, that's right, I have something to talk to a few people this time."

"Please."

Qian Chao handed him a cup of tea.

"Well, before a few of you came to Ruixuan Town this time, we found some people in this town, maybe a few of them may be interested."

"Oh? Please tell me more about it. ”

"That was a few days ago, on the surface, there were two groups of unrelated people, one group of four people, the other group of three people, these people came to the town and did not have any contact with each other, but after two or three days, my people found that these people had mixed into the territory of your Five Spirit Sect, and ...... Well, my people haven't seen it all, but everyone who sees it has already changed into the clothes of your Five Spirit Sect, and I think it's mixed in. ”

"Liu Gongzi said this, presumably there is something wrong with these people?"

"Yes, in Xuanzhou, Xuanzhou is adjacent to Cizhou and Yongzhou, well, there is a group of headaches in our three states, although the cultivation is not very high, but it is cunning and ruthless, and the means are also very vicious, full of tricks, frequent crimes in the three states, and later I heard that after investigation, these guys are a total of nine people, and later in the three states of the family to chase and kill, but also killed two, but the remaining seven people do not know where to flee, when they did not come to this Ruixuan Town, I have seen the families of the nine people wanted noticesOne of them was very impressed, but he was a big man with a bearded face and a fierce appearance, and the rest could not be remembered. ”

"Liu Gongzi is saying that those seven people are those scattered cultivators who caused chaos in your Xuan, Yong, and Ci prefectures back then?"

"Exactly, I came to this Ruixuan Town, I brought a few experienced and capable people, to be honest, if I had met those seven people here, I might have missed it, but my subordinates recognized it at a glance, and then came back to report to me."

As he spoke, Liu Gongzi took out two pieces of paper from his body and put them on the table.

"Well, I looked for it, and there were only these two notices at the time, but my men said that both of them were among them."

The eyes of the five people fell on the two pieces of paper.

The picture depicted above is indeed a bearded man, with a square face, a beard with sideburns, and a pair of fierce round eyes under the thick eyebrows, which makes people think that this guy is a fierce and dangerous character at first glance.

The other picture depicts a woman, who is nearly thirty years old, with a pair of slightly triangular eyes under the thin eyebrows, and a lot of points on the cheeks deliberately pointed out with a pen, presumably this woman has freckles on her face.

"This man's surname is Tie, his name is Tie Yu, the woman's surname is Zhang, his name is Zhang Wuniang, and the rest of the five people, I don't have their portraits here. These two people led the team to Ruixuan Town with people, and then these two people led the team, changed into the clothes and accessories of your Five Spirit disciples, and mixed in. ”

"What does this have to do with us?" Tang Ping asked on the side.

"Hehe, of course it has a relationship, I know some things in your sect, these seven people escaped under the joint encirclement and suppression of the major families in the three states, and the means are naturally there, and they can let the families of the three states join forces to deal with them, it can be seen that they have done a lot of things before, and the viciousness of the heart is also rare, now, it is the eventful autumn of your Five Spirit Sect, to be honest, you are indeed very strict in your inspection now, but the last thing was done by the Qi refining disciples, this time these seven people mixed in, Aren't you worried? ”

What Liu Gongzi said was the last time Yanshuang was attacked, Tang Ping smiled when he heard it, and said:

"Those are all things that the sect should worry about, and they have little to do with us."

"That's right," Liu Gongzi said, "but before I finished speaking, these seven people stayed in the town for a few days, from the moment they appeared, my people found out, and then they paid attention to these people, my people didn't dare to follow closely, let alone get closer, so they could only take a look from afar, so in those days, we don't know where these seven guys are located, where they are in the house, and we only know a general range, come ......"

Liu Gongzi took out another piece of paper, which was actually a map of Ruixuan Town, and then he drew a small circle with his finger on it, enclosing many mansions.

"They must be hiding in here, we don't know which one it is."

"If I'm not mistaken...... Tang Ping raised his eyes and looked at Liu Gongzi, "There should be something special in this mansion, right?" ”

"Miss Tang is right, it's this one."

Liu Gongzi's hand nodded in the piece he circled again, but his eyes looked at Qian Chao.

"The people living in this house claim to be surnamed Li, but we know that they are covering up their identities, and they naturally do not have the surname Li, but ...... The surname is Tian! ”

Really!

Qian Chao also looked at Liu Gongzi and asked:

"The Tian family of the Qi Kingdom?"

"Exactly."

"Well, it seems that Liu Gongzi knows a lot about my affairs, so what else does Liu Gongzi know about the Tian family?"

"Hehe, why don't blame Mr. Qian, in fact, as early as after Han Gongzi met Mr. Qian, he asked us to pay attention to Mr. Qian's affairs, and inquire about all aspects, we began to inquire that Mr. Qian was born in the Qian family of Qi State, and the Qian family is not a family of cultivators, and later with more and more news, we found out that Qi is also a very special place, Qi belongs to the Tian family, it is a big country, generally speaking, in a big country with such a vast land, there should always be a large number of families, But we found that there are only a few small families in the Qi country, even if they form a group, it is impossible to compete with the Tian family, which is obviously different from other places, and then we inquired about some things about the Qian family, and knew that the Qian family is the only family in the Qi country that has a jade plate, and we also know what happened to the one in the Qian family who practiced in the Five Spirits Sect, which caused us to be suspicious, perhaps...... Of course, it's just our guess that the Tian family has something to do that the Five Spirits Sect can't let the Five Spirits Sect know, let alone let the Five Spirits Sect interfere, so we are eliminating the power of the Five Spirits Sect little by little......"

Liu Gongzi kept staring at Qian Chao when he said this, paying attention to the change in Qian Chao's expression, but it was a pity that Qian Chao had passed the impulsive days a while ago, and now he was able to calm down, so he was a little disappointed.

"We also noticed that a monk named Yin Kuang had been in and out of that mansion more than once, and the last time Yin Kuang went to the Tian family's mansion was when a few people came to Ruixuan Town last time, and later, these seven people came to Ruixuan Town."

"You suspect that the Tian family is going to be unfavorable to Qian Chao, right? Those seven people infiltrated the realm of the Five Spirits Sect to find an opportunity to attack Qian Chao? Tang Ping glanced at Qian Chao, and then interjected and asked.

"Hehe, well, I'm going to ask Mr. Qian, we don't know much, but since the matter didn't start in your Five Spirits Sect, then our news will naturally come faster and more widely than a few."

"In my opinion," Qian Chao said, "it doesn't seem that Senior Brother Han Jin's coming here today doesn't mean it, right?" ”

"Hehe, Mr. Qian said it, we ......"

Liu Gongzi's face became solemn, and the word "we" bit very hard.

"We are not subordinate to the prince of Han Jin, Mr. Qian and a few people must know something about the affairs of Xuanzhou, and the various families are almost united to deal with the Wen family, so there are people like us who work for Han Gongzi in Ruixuan Town."

Tang Ping said again: "But I heard that something happened within the Wen family, a young man cultivated by the Wen family as the future head of the family was assassinated and died, the Wen family should not be troubled, right?" ”

"Miss Tang is right, the Wen family is indeed the death of a most outstanding young monk, Xuanzhou was also very nervous for a while, the turmoil has not subsided yet, but the hundred-legged insect, dead but not stiff, not to mention that the death is just a young man, now our families are still oppressed by the Wen family, although the younger generation of the Wen family has no available people, but it will take many years for the Wen family to decline because of this matter, so our alliance has been maintained."

When Tang Ping heard this, her heart moved, and she immediately realized what would happen in Xuanzhou, she glanced at Qian Chao, noticed that the other party also looked at it inadvertently, and then opened her mouth and said:

"Listening to Liu Gongzi's meaning, Xuanzhou seems to be in trouble again, and Liu Gongzi has found us...... Is there something you want us to help with? ”

"Haha, Miss Tang is really ice and snow smart, and before she could say anything, she was guessed by the girl and admired."

"Then it seems that I guessed correctly, is the Han family thinking again? And it has something to do with that Han Ning girl in our sect, right? ”

"Miss Tang has already guessed, we don't have to go around the bend, just say it directly, yes, the Han family does have some different thoughts, Miss Tang must know the origin of Miss Han Ning, the Han family began to want to add Han Ning to the Wen family, and promised to send her to the Five Spirits Sect to practice first, but the assassination of the Wen family happened, and the one Han Ning wanted to marry was assassinated and died, speaking of which, Miss Han became a free body, but Miss Han is not a fuel-efficient lamp, in order to get rid of her fate at the mercy of herself, I don't know what means I used in the sect, but I actually made a monk named Lin Jian fall in love with it, presumably Lin Jian, this person Miss Tang knows more than me, and the strength of the family background is beyond our reach, the Han family ...... Hey...... Then he began to make up his mind again, ready to ......"

"Does the Han family want to form an alliance with the Lin family through the matter between Han Ning and Lin Jian?" Tang Ping figured it out and couldn't help asking.

"Not bad!"

When Qian Chao inquired about the Han family and told a few companions, everyone was very disdainful of the Han family from Han Jin, and now after listening to Tang Ping's words, it was confirmed from the mouth of this Liu Gongzi, and he was full of bad feelings towards the Han family, how could he use people and calculate people like this!

It's just that every time I calculate, I use the same poor woman!

"Young Master Liu seems to have the intention of leaving Han Ji aside and cooperating with us?" Tang Ping said again.

"Actually, it's not that Han Gongzi is set aside, but for this matter, there is really too little that Han Gongzi can do, not to mention anything else, just that Lin Jian is far from what he can deal with, and outside the sect, what he relies on is actually us. Well...... The Han family's plans, we are also keeping them secret from Han Gongzi, if he knows, maybe something will go wrong, alas, Han Gongzi...... His current situation is indeed very embarrassing! What we want is not to deal with the Han family, at the beginning we will establish an alliance or be led by the Han family, it is to deal with the Wen family, but now the Han family is like this, if we form an alliance with the Lin family in the future and suppress the Wen family, hehe, Xuanzhou still has no Ningri, and the Han family may do more than the Wen family. ”

"What we want is to prevent the Han family from forming an alliance with the Lin family, speaking of which, this is similar to what Han Gongzi thinks, if Han Ning leaves Lin Jian and is with Han Gongzi, the Han family's plan will naturally fall through, but Han Gongzi is from the Han family after all, we don't know much about whether the Han family has a way to affect Han Gongzi, just in case, so this matter still does not allow Han Gongzi to participate, and after thinking about it, there are very few people we can rely on in the Five Spirits Sect, So tonight, I just want to discuss this matter with a few people, can I stop the affairs of the Han family and the Lin family through the hands of a few people? ”

Tang Ping stopped Qian Chao with his eyes when he saw that he was about to speak, and then said to Liu Gongzi: "That...... What do we gain by joining forces? ”

Liu Gongzi didn't expect Tang Ping to ask so directly, and he was stunned for a moment before saying:

"Well, a few of us have also seen it, to tell the truth, if it comes to the ability to fight with others, hehe, there is a little shame in the bottom, but a small family like ours can be regarded as proficient in the rules of survival in this cultivation world, and this time the families in Xuanzhou are also smart and capable characters, when it comes to observing words and emotions in the cultivation world, and inquiring about the news, we are not losing, huh...... We're ashamed, that's all we can do. ”

To be honest, what this Liu Gongzi said did make Qian Chao excited, but cooperating with this person was not his business alone, and the five of them had to nod their heads.

"It's just that you told about Xuanzhou, and you can all inquire about other things?" Tang Ping asked again.

"We naturally can't rely on us alone, but behind us are the various families in Xuanzhou, as long as a few agree to prevent the Han family from forming an alliance with the Lin family, and a few people ask, we will definitely try our best to find out the answer for a few of them."

"How to stop it?" Tang Ping asked again.

"Uh...... Now it seems that there is only one way, that is, to let Miss Han Ning leave Lin Jian and no longer associate with her, so that Han Ning's wish will be fulfilled, and we can be regarded as worthy of him. ”

Tonight, this Liu Gongzi came to find five people, the focus is to discuss with two of them, one is Qian Chao, and the other is Tang Ping, he knows that Qian Chao is smart, and he also knows Tang Ping's background, so as long as these two people can be moved, then presumably the other three will not have any objections.

Sure enough, this Tang Ping girl asked the most questions tonight, so he also answered Tang Ping's questions carefully.

Now it's up to these five to decide.

"Brother Qian, Sister Tang, I don't understand this, you two have the final say." Lu Pingchuan said.

Yan Xuan turned his head to look at Li Jian, and after confirming each other, Yan Xuan said to Tang Ping:

"Ah Ping, Brother Li and I mean the same as Brother Lu, you and Brother Qian can discuss and make the decision."

Qian Chao glanced at Tang Ping, and the meaning in his eyes was that Tang Ping continued to negotiate with this Liu Gongzi, and he knew that this Tang girl must have something to say.

After Tang Ping nodded to a few companions, he said to Liu Gongzi:

"Young Master Liu, we still value your conditions very much, but we also have some things we want to say first."

"Please."

"Miss Ning Han," Tang Ping directly said Han Ning's real name, "We all think she is very pitiful, the whole family has been wiped out by the Wen family, she is the only one left, she has been in the Han family for so long, and she has been used as a bargaining chip by the Han family, to be honest, she is with Lin Jian in the Five Spirits Sect, in our opinion, it is actually understandable, but it is a pity that she was used as a chess piece twice." According to what Liu Gongzi said, she was separated from Lin Jian...... Liu Gongzi, I am a woman, according to my heart, I am a little unbearable, if she is only with Lin Jian just to get rid of marrying into the Wen family, and she is not ruthless with Lin Jian, then it may be nothing for her to leave Lin Jian. However, how long has it been since the assassination of the Wen family, and now looking at the meaning of Liu Gongzi, Ning Han is still with Lin Jian, right? This is what we are worried about, if Miss Ning Han really admires each other after she meets Lin Jian in the Five Spirits Sect, we shouldn't do anything to break them up, I know what Liu Gongzi wants to say, Han Jin, right? But don't forget that Ning Han stayed in the Han family when her family was destroyed, even if there was no mercy between her and Han Jin, in order to survive in the Han family, she had to be false and wrong, these are not praised, so break up the two of them......"

What Tang Ping said was in line with Yan Xuan's thoughts, and he nodded on the side.

Liu Gongzi didn't expect Tang Ping to say this, nor did he expect Tang Ping to care so much about an ordinary woman, so he hesitated and said, "What does Tang girl mean......"

"Your purpose is just to prevent the Han family from forming an alliance with the Lin family, right?"

"Exactly."

"Then it doesn't have to stop the two of them from being together."

"Oh! Is there any other way for Miss Tang? ”

"Yes, there is, but Liu Gongzi, we might as well make it clear first, we may not be able to do the result you want, but we can guarantee that as long as we agree, we will do our best, after all, a Lin Jian is a guy that the five of us can't afford to mess with, if Liu Gongzi thinks it's not worth it, then tonight can only be treated as if I haven't seen Liu Gongzi, of course, thank you Liu Gongzi for the news he started."

Liu Gongzi's eyes stared at Tang Ping for a while, then at the money tide, and then at the other three in turn, and finally made up his mind.

"Good! In that case, then we will make up our minds, and our affairs will be handed over to the five, and we will fully cooperate, how about it? ”

"Good! Then it's a deal! ”

"It's a deal!"

"So is the matter of the Tian family in Ruixuan Town that Liu Gongzi wants to talk to us about in detail?"

"That's natural, well, the Tian family, on the surface there is no industry in Ruixuan Town, but in fact, there are several shops in Ruixuan Town, in fact, the owner behind it is the Tian family, they are different from other families, other families are generous in Ruixuan Town to open shops, buy industries, but they have been hiding their heads and tails, not only here, in other Fuxuan Town, Xiangxuan Town and Jixuan Town, they are the same, some sneaky, oh, I will leave you the names of those shops when I go back. The Tian family is in charge of a person in this town, and that person's pseudonym is Li Yun, in fact, his real name is Tian Shuanghao, a foundation building monk. As for the seven loose cultivators I mentioned earlier, they must have been found by the Tian family, because ......"

Liu Gongzi's finger drew a small circle on the map again, which was the mansion where the seven people he said were missing.

"This piece of house seems to belong to different people, but in fact, it is the Tian family behind it."

"I see."

"So, Mr. Qian, you must be careful recently, those seven people must not just be regarded as ordinary high-level cultivators you have seen in the Five Spirits Sect, they have survived with great difficulty in the cultivation world, their scheming and means are absolutely extraordinary, as for how to deal with them, it depends on the five."

"Thank you."

"In addition, don't hide it from the five, we have a few people in the sect, but because of Han Gongzi's affairs with Wen Liang before, those people can't look for you, they may be stared at by gentle people, if they find out that they have contact with you, maybe it will even affect Han Gongzi, but, hehe, we also have people in the sect who Han Gongzi doesn't know, and we will contact Mr. Qian in the sect when we turn around, and if there is something in the future, you can come to Ruixuan Town through him or a few people."

……

Liu Gongzi talked for a while, and then left.

"I really didn't expect us to put that Han Ji in the air." Li Jian chuckled and shook his head.

Han Jin...... Han Jin is also embarrassing enough! Tang Ping said.

"It's pitiful enough, if you really say it, then Ning Han is in the Han family and has a false relationship with him, alas...... I don't know what he'll think when he finds out the truth. Yan Xuan said.

"It seems that you were really right when you said that although Ning Hansheng was beautiful, but not stunning, if this woman had no means, there was really no way to make Lin Jian fall in love with her like this." Qian Chao said.

"It doesn't matter if that, when will we look for the seven boys that Liu Boy said, it's for Brother Qian!" Lu Pingchuan said.

What Lu Pingchuan said was a real threat, and as soon as Liu Gongzi left, he grabbed the two portraits and looked at them non-stop.

"I don't think there's a need to look for them, since they were sent by the Tian family, they should take the initiative to find us, just be careful on the way back, don't worry too much if you really meet them, although what Liu Xiaozi said is powerful, it's just a loose cultivation like a rogue, but ...... Money boy, what does the Tian family mean by doing this? ”

"It must be Wen Liang who raised the price, and the Tian family plans to do it themselves."

"It's also possible that Wen Liang is still cooperating with the Tian family, but they have found some helpers outside."

"It's not like doing things gently, but ...... If these seven people did it on the day of the tide in Cold Spring Valley, it would be interesting. ”

"You mean...... The Tian family did it, and then planted it for Wen Liang? ”

"Yes, maybe Wen Liang's side...... There are people from the Tian family! ”
