Chapter 4 Fighting
The sun set in the west, and three fast horses galloped across the official road and came to the outside of Baisu Town.
Night Terror took the lead, spears wrapped in black cloth hung from the side of the horses, and birds crouched in the saddle in front of them. Pei Xiangjun and Luo Ning followed behind wearing hats.
Baisu Town is located in the east of Jianyang City, more than 80 miles away, the scale of the town is quite large, and the Wuzhou Dapai Yuelou is here to set up a stalk.
There are various names for the Jianghu sects, but the names are still a bit particular.
The sect that ends with the words "building", "fang", "pavilion", etc., most of the capital is inside, and the main business is to open shops in the city.
Honghualou does the dock business, strictly speaking, it should be called 'Honghua Gang', but it sounds a bit like the miscellaneous fish in the rivers and lakes.
Lingyuelou is essentially also a businessman in the rivers and lakes, but the organizational structure is much more concentrated than Honghualou, the manpower of the entire sect is in the Wuxi generation, the main business is to deal in medicinal materials and furs, there are many disciples, there are more than 300 people in the town alone, and it is no problem to say that the entire Baisu Town is the territory of Lingyuelou.
After King Wu's accident, there was a mess inside and outside Jianyang City, Baisu Town was quite far away, and the situation in the town was normal, but there were not many merchants and people on the street.
After Night Terror Hall entered the town, he first found a small inn in the town, and after making sure that it was not the property of the Moon Tower, he entered it and opened a room, and then the three of them began to dress up.
In the inn facing the street, Bird Bird stood on the roof of the house and kept a sentry watch, paying attention to the surrounding movements.
In the not too large room, Luo Ning took off the hat, got into the bed in one fell swoop, put down the curtain, and changed clothes in the night terror.
Night Terror Hall was more generous, standing at the table and taking off his black robe, revealing his shiny silver soft armor.
Pei Xiangjun saw that Luo Ning had hid in the bed, so he was naturally embarrassed to untie his clothes in front of the night terror, and also got into the tent, untied the black military uniform on his body, revealing the plump figure of Bai Huahua, frowned and said:
"It's uncertain whether the Yueyue Building is a cronie of King Wu, at this critical juncture, you came to the door with the identity of the Pingtian Sect. In case Huang Yulong is afraid of being liquidated by the imperial court, he will make meritorious contributions to the crime, and he wants to take you down directly, how can we get out of the town? β
Luo Ning stood on the bed, unbuttoned her cyan skirt, revealing the belly pocket of the empty mountain and full moon, and her peach blossom eyes were full of pride:
"Do you think that the Pingtian Sect is the same as the Red Flower Building, sparsely pulling hundreds of people, and the upper and lower levels add up to a night terror hall that can support the faΓ§ade? Let's not talk about the sect leader of the Pingtian Sect first, any one of the four protectors can pinch Huang Yulong to death, give him ten guts, and he will not dare to touch the people of the Pingtian Sect. β
Pei Xiangjun knew that this was the truth, but he didn't like it, and said unhappily:
"Pingtian Sect is powerful, what does it have to do with you? You are the daughter-in-law of the shocking hall. Moreover, when my Honghualou was the hegemon back then, the seven grandmasters and one martial artist were also rich in the world, no more beautiful than the Pingtian Sect where you were grazing in southern Xinjiang......"
Luo Ning said flatly: "The hero doesn't mention the courage of the year, is it useful to say these sour words?" β
Pei Xiangjun is not a mud bodhisattva, seeing that the fox Meizi began to nest again, he raised his hand and came up on his buttocks.
Syllable~
A bouncy sound sounded, the curtain was lifted, and the Night Terror Hall appeared in front of the two of them, and opened their mouths to persuade them:
"Why are you still moving......"
The curtain fell silent.
Night Terror Hall looked at the endless spring light between the curtains, Rao was mentally prepared, but he was still stunned for a moment.
Although it was dusk, the room was not dimly lit, and the two women were standing between the curtains as they changed their clothes.
Ning Er's dress faded and she was wearing only a light blue light belly pocket, with a snow-white half-arc on the edge, and her straight slender legs were close at hand. The already cold and beautiful cheeks, because of the pain, showed three points of annoyance, at this time holding his buttocks with one hand, turned his head to stare at Sanniang, found that the tent was opened, and looked at him again.
Sanniang stood in front of her, the big watermelon was only wrapped in black cloth tape, and under the snowy waist, there were close-fitting black thin pants, which outlined the plump curves of the white moon......
Sanniang raised her hand, looking like she wanted to come again, and when she saw him come out, she hurriedly hugged her chest in surprise.
Both of them stood on the bed, the night terror hall lifted the curtain, and the eyes naturally fell on the position below the chest, looking up at the large and small watermelons, down is the small waist, the two eyes didn't know which side to look at for a while, so that the eyes began to sway from side to side.
οΌβ_βοΌ
Luo Ning saw the dizzying eyes of the night terrors, and her willow eyebrows were upside down:
"Thief!"
Night Terror Hall was awakened by Jiaojiao's reprimand, smiled, and rubbed it on Ning'er's moon:
"It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt......"
"You!" Luo Ning was suddenly ashamed and hurriedly dodged.
Pei Xiangjun's face turned red when he saw this scene, and before he could say a shocking sentence about his hands and feet, he found that the fox next to him was not a good person, so he directly used her as a shield, pushed her on the back, and pushed her to the ground.
"Huh?!"
Pei Xiangjun was caught off guard, and was pushed to the night terror, and immediately came to a standard fat melon impact.
With the reaction of the Night Terror, this kind of attack can be completely dodged, but he has to fall to the floor when he dodges Sanniang, and he still raised his hand at the moment, resisted a collision with his face, and then held Sanniang's waist with one hand to let her stand firm.
Pei Xiangjun's heart was not light, and he turned around when he stood firm, and said in shame:
"I think you owe ...... clean up"
Luo Ning's face was slightly cold, and her momentum was amazing, and she raised her hand to make a look of preparing to pull Sanniang's chest:
"Here you go!"
"You!"
Pei Xiangjun was stunned suddenly, holding his chest and withdrawing a little.
Night Terror looked a little funny, and when she saw that Sanniang was very embarrassed, she put down the curtain:
"Alright, let's change our clothes quickly, and get down to business."
"Shocking, you have time to take care of her......"
"Hmph~!"
Night Terror Hall shook his head secretly, and changed into a dark blue robe while talking and laughing.
The Pingtian Sect was founded by the Taoist priests of the Qin Tianjian in the former dynasty, although it was not recognized by the orthodoxy of Taoism, and it did not cultivate immortals itself, but it was only dressed as a Taoist priest in the skin of Taoism, but the people of the sect went out to walk, and most of them were dressed as pheasant Taoists.
After the three of them were dressed, Night Terror Hall took their blades and walked towards the east side of the town......
β¦β¦
ββ
On the east side of Baisu Town, there is an old alley, the alley is not more than half a zhang wide, extremely deep, both sides are blue brick high walls, forming the landscape of 'a line of sky', occasionally the moon rises, just fill the line of sky at the end of the alley, so it has the name of 'Moon'.
The moon lane is half a mile long from the beginning to the end, the left and right are the courtyard of the deep house, the three major families of Baisu Town are among them, and it is also the three major halls of the first moon building, the Huang family located at the end of the alley is the general rudder of the first moon building, and Huang Yulong is both the head of the family and the head of the house.
Lingyue Lane is equivalent to the mountain behind the sect, it is difficult for outsiders to set foot in, and the shadow is sparse in ordinary times, but in the past two days, King Wu has been in trouble, and the situation in Wuzhou is unknown, and sometimes there are disciples running in from the alley to report the situation in various parts of Wuzhou.
In the incense hall in the depths of the Huang family's mansion, there is a portrait of the ancestor of the Yuelou, and there are several chairs in front of the hall.
Huang Yulong, who is over 50 years old, dresses up as an ordinary outsider, sits on the main seat, holding a teacup in his hand, and gently plucking the tea leaves floating on the water surface with the lid of the cup.
Sitting on the right side of the hall is Xiao Shichen, the second master of the Yueyue Building, who is frowning and saying:
"The people and horses of the imperial court have come over one after another, and official ships have entered the Wuxi Wharf from time to time, and the main roads in and out have also been blocked by officers and soldiers; This morning, my brother-in-law, the third eldest of the family, was arrested in Wanshui Town and is about to be investigated, and it is not just the people who have six doors and are still black......"
Huang Yulong made a movement in his hand, frowned and said:
"At this critical juncture, being targeted by the capital, the slightest carelessness is a catastrophe...... Because of what was investigated? β
Xiao Shichen naturally knew the seriousness of the matter, and said calmly:
"Wu Wangfu has to have a martial artist with a kung fu foundation, I asked the people below to recruit foreign warriors on my behalf, and I was found by my family when I went and didn't return, and there was a mess...... I don't know the details below, and I have cleared up the relationship with Lingyuelou, the case has been closed, and it won't affect Lingyuelou......"
Huang Yulong put down the teacup with an angry face:
"You can't do such a trivial thing, what's the use?"
Xiao Shichen sighed: "There's no point in talking about this now. King Wu has fallen, we have done a lot of things for King Wu in the Moon Building, the court really wants to investigate, hundreds of disciples in the building, together with you and me, I'm afraid we have to cut half and lose half, what should I do now? β
"King Wu has a lot of background, there is no hope of rebelling as an emperor, and it is not difficult to escape from Wuzhou and take root in other places. Lord Bai is planning, and he should try to break through in the next few days, so I can leave with him at that time......"
Xiao Shichen looked at the town outside and sighed:
"Such a big family business, if you say you will lose it, alas, ......"
"Stay in the green mountains, don't worry about no firewood. The secret medicine studied by King Wu is progressing rapidly, if you and I can both become martial artists, what is a broken town? Like Fengguancheng, the martial arts climb to the top and are seen by millions of martial artists, that is called true style......"
Xiao Shichen sighed secretly in his heart, and when he was discussing countermeasures with Huang Yulong, he suddenly heard something from outside:
"Who?!"
The two of them found that the voice appeared outside the main hall of the house, and their eyelids jumped-they could pass through countless disciples silently and touch the center of the house, they were definitely top masters!
Huang Yulong didn't dare to be careless, put down the teacup, took a saber from the desk, walked quickly to the back of the main hall, and looked out through the hall door.
Outside the main hall is a large courtyard, and at this time, the surrounding verandahs are full of disciples of the Yuelou who came in a hurry.
The sun had set, the light in the courtyard was dim, and two figures suddenly appeared on the crosswalk in the center of the courtyard.
The leader is a woman in Tsing Yi, tall and veiled, and she can only see a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes that are seductive, and her temperament is out of the world, like a jade girl from the Toad Palace who fell from the nine heavens.
Behind him was a man in a loose green robe, quite tall, well-proportioned, looking like a fairy wind and bones, with a hat on his head, a face scarf on his face, and a short soldier wrapped in black cloth in his hand.
The two men stood surrounded by dozens of disciples, unmoved and calm, looking at the door of the main hall without any words.
Xiao Shichen felt that the momentum of the person coming was extraordinary, and he was definitely not good at stubble, and said in a low voice:
"Who?"
Huang Yulong took a closer look, and felt that the appearance and temperament of the woman in charge were a bit familiar, but after all, he couldn't see her appearance, and he didn't remember who it was for a while, so he walked to the main hall and bowed:
"Under Huang Yulong, dare to ask Your Excellency?"
The woman in Tsing Yi at the head flipped her wrist lightly and took out a dark iron brand with eight small characters engraved on it.
When Huang Yulong saw the handwriting on the iron plate, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he hurriedly walked out of the door and waved his hand:
"Stand down."
The surrounding disciples of the Lingyue Building hurriedly withdrew from the courtyard.
Huang Yulong walked down the steps quickly and bowed:
"It turned out that Mrs. Xue was here, and I was fortunate to meet her. I had seen Mrs. Xue in Tiannan before, but I was clumsy and couldn't recognize it, so I hope Mrs. Xue will forgive me...... Who is this? β
Luo Ning appeared as the sect leader's wife, with the support of the Pingtian Sect, and her momentum was very strong, so she directly entered the main hall on her own:
"My protector of the Heavenly Sect."
Luo Ning walked straight to the main hall and sat down, while Night Terror Hall stood beside him as a bodyguard.
Huang Yulong faced the head lady of the Pingtian Sect, it was really difficult to put on a posture of the head, sat down on the chair opposite the main hall, let Xiao Shichen serve tea, and asked:
"Wuzhou has not been peaceful recently, Mrs. Xue came to the door at this time, I don't know what happened?"
Luo Ning got straight to the point:
"I, Pingtianjiao, am an old minister of the former dynasty, and King Wu secretly plotted to subvert the Great Wei, and I Pingtianjiao are fellow believers. Recently, the sect leader heard that King Wu was defeated and would be cleared by the imperial court, so he specially sent the people over to see if he could help King Wu. β
When Huang Yulong heard this, he was surprised in his heart, but it was reasonable to think about it.
Pingtianjiao is the remnant of the former dynasty with strong roots, the imperial court has been suppressing Nanxiao Mountain for many years, so it wants to recruit An, but Pingtianjiao still does not agree, it can be said that it is an absolute villain, standing on the opposite side of the imperial court.
Now that King Wu's rebellion has failed and there is no way to escape, Pingtianjiao has learned the news and wants to take the opportunity to subdue King Wu, so as to obtain King Wu's property and Wuzhou's network resources, which makes sense.
And the goddess of Toad Palace is the wife of the sect leader of the Pingtian Sect, and in the case that the leader of the Pingtian Sect does not show up much, it can be said that she is the person in charge of the Pingtian Sect, and he has seen it before.
Position, motive, and identity can't find fault, Huang Yulong wants to be wary, but he doesn't know where to start.
He can't doubt that the Pingtian Sect was secretly recruited, and the leaders of the Pingtian Sect are about to become emperors of the rivers and lakes, so why should he be recruited under the infamy of disobeying his ancestors and being disloyal and unjust, and change to the meaningless title of little marquis?
Huang Yulong hesitated for a moment, but still asked for the sake of insurance:
"If you want to help King Wu, you should go to King Wu, how did you find Huang in front of the door?"
"My Pingtian Sect has eyes and ears all over the world, and there is no shortage of followers in Wuzhou. King Wu's traces are not easy to trace, and after inquiry, Master Huang seems to be buying medicinal materials for King Wu in recent years, so he came to ask. If Master Huang knows the whereabouts of King Wu, he hopes to help summon him, if he doesn't know, he will be the one who has never been to the Pingtian Sect. β
ββ¦β¦β
Huang Yulong's fingers tapped on the table, because the identity of the goddess of the Toad Palace was undoubted, and King Wu was indeed in a hurry, so he nodded after a little hesitation, and turned his head to look at Xiao Shichen:
"Second brother, go deliver a letter."
Night Terror stood behind him, secretly relieved to know that the fish had been hooked......
