Volume 1: The First Signs Chapter 71, Quiet Before the Storm

On the bank of the Qinhuai River, the fog was filled, a man and a horse walked out of the darkness, passed the stone city, rushed all the way to the city gate, and swaggered into the city under the supervision of the guards.

The sky was extremely dark, and everyone couldn't see the man's appearance clearly, and he didn't even dare to stop the guards alone.

When this person entered the inner city gate, a wave of heat rushed to his face, the streets were brightly lit, and there were many restaurants, and there was a lot of noise. But the man seemed to turn a deaf ear and continued to move forward.

At his side, a figure sneakily flashed and quickly caught up.

When this person approached, he found that it was a man in Tsing Yi. He called out to "Siniang" in a low voice, and the man who was originally calm suddenly raised his eyes, and a sharp edge appeared, which made this person instantly silence.

"Why are you here?"

"Master Zhao can't rest assured that he will let you come alone, and order me to assist you in the city." The dark shadow said.

The man sighed softly, and suddenly his eyes flashed, and he immediately pounced on the black shadow.

In an instant, several silver needles flew out and stabbed straight in the direction where they were, and the man hugged the man, retreating again and again, hiding in the alley.

"Qu Siniang, aren't you really afraid of death?"

"Don't be afraid ......"

The dim beam of light at the entrance of the alley shone on the black shadow, revealing a gentle woman's face, and if Qu Zhiyun saw him here, she would definitely exclaim in surprise.

This woman is the fourth mother of the Qu family, Qu Chunyun.

But when he saw her, he gently exhaled a breath of turbidity: "My seventh sister wrote to me, and now she is with the landlord, just outside Stone City, it seems that these days, Jianye City, is about to change."

"yes!" The man nodded, "Tonight, I want to meet with the Four Seas Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Alliance, and I can't delay."

Hearing this, Qu Chunyun's eyebrows were slightly raised, and the corners of his mouth outlined a strange arc, "The hall master of the Four Seas Pavilion is right in front of you."

"You?" The man exclaimed, bluntly saying that he didn't expect it.

"But, you're not the Huaiyang Qu Clan? Why did Master Qu's granddaughter join the World Alliance?"

The lights at the entrance of the alley flashed, and the two of them immediately hid in the corner of the wall, which was not easy to detect.

"It's not convenient to explain to you at this moment." Qu Chunyun dragged him away, "I communicated with the landlord through a letter, and she ordered me to wait, go to the south of the city tonight, and discuss with her face-to-face."

Although the man was puzzled, it was not easy to refuse, after all, without the help of the Tianxia Alliance, it would be difficult to win Jianye.

Bypassing the patrol and going all the way to the south, the two walked for more than an hour, and finally saw a dilapidated house, with the mark of the Lu family in Hebei hanging on the door.

They all knew that because Jiang Zuo had a deep grudge against Gou Chenzi, he did not hang the mark of Gou Chen, but used the logo of the Lu family in Hebei to hide people's eyes.

As soon as they stepped into the courtyard, they saw Qu Zhiyun standing in the courtyard to greet them. z.br>

"Hall Master Yan, Fourth Sister." Seeing the two of them, he was immediately overjoyed, and whispered, "It's inconvenient for the landlord to stay here for a long time tonight, so let's go in immediately, and leave immediately after the discussion is over."

With that, Qu Zhiyun led the two of them towards the house.

Entering the house, there is a cold and glamorous woman in a white dress sitting on it, if others see it, they will call it directly, the name of Hebei pretty girl, worthy of the name.

This is Lu Zhaoyi in disguise.

"Landlord, I've already brought the people." Qu Zhiyun whispered, and then stood beside her.

Lu Zhaoyi raised his eyes and looked, the man in black, tall, with a pair of narrow phoenix eyes as soft as a breeze and drizzle, still had the spirit of a hero in the rivers and lakes.

This person is the hall master of Tianxin Hall in Piaoxue Building, Yan Ling.

As for Qu Chunyun, I saw that she was wearing a black cloak, embroidered with blooming plum blossoms on the cloak, seemingly casual, but elegant, similar in appearance to Qu Zhiyun, but more gentle.

"Time is limited, let's cut to the chase......" Lu Zhaoyi glanced at them and said, "In the past few days, what has been the result of the Sihai Pavilion and Tianxin Hall's monitoring?"

They looked at each other

eyes, and began to tell about what they had discovered in the past few days.

Inside and outside Jianye City, there are the eyes of the Qian Tang gang, especially recently, it has become more and more severe, and if you want to enter and leave the city, you will be strictly investigated.

But there is no curfew here, and the night comes and goes freely, not restricted by the city guards, but it is also difficult to escape the attention of the Qian Tang Gang.

Previously, the Tianxia Alliance and the others in Piaoxue Lou entered the city as merchants, and then they were closely monitored, and it was not easy to establish contact with each other.

But it's not like there's no solution.

When they said this, Lu Zhaoyi was also pondering, and not long after, Fang raised his hand and took a sip of tea, "How can you level out the eyeliner in the city?"

Qu Chunyun sat up, gave her a salute, and said, "This place is headed by the Qian Tang Gang, and Lei Bendao Wang Shao is in charge, only by eradicating this person, in Jianye City, the Qian Tang Gang has a lot of help, and it is easy for us to act without a leader."

Hearing this, Qu Zhaoyi bowed slightly, she had a way to annihilate the Qiantang Gang rudder in Jianye City in one fell swoop. However, she still needed to confirm it, so she asked, "Then Qian Tang Gang is the third master, what is the strength?"

"He is a rare master in the world with strong martial arts."

"Are you sure you can deal with him?"

Qu Chunyun groaned slightly and shook his head.

Suddenly, there was silence in the room.

Lu Zhaoyi thought to herself, if she could hit with one blow, in addition to Han He, who was already on the way to Huiji County, there was another person she knew, who was one of Wugong's guards back then, and now General Jiao Kang, who is now the Marquis of Guanzhong.

But Jiao Kang is in Luojing, and far water can't quench his thirst, so what's the use?

"Since this person is difficult to deal with, think of other ways." Lu Zhaoyi's eyes were cold, "Before you take action, lure this person out of the city, can you do it?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Yan Ling exclaimed, exchanged glances with Qu Chunyun, and replied, "This matter should be done, but Wang Shao is calm and calm, and it is difficult to lure this person away without a good excuse."

"I can only try my best for now."

Qu Chunyun lowered his head and sighed secretly.

"That's very good," Lu Zhaoyi's eyes narrowed, "Since that's the case, let's do what I say, and the two of you will arrange it, and act in two days, and be sure to lure him out."

"Yes!" Both of them replied respectfully at the same time.

After that, they talked about the patrol and control inside and outside Stone Town, and the secret agents of the Drifting Snow Building had been watching here for a while, and they had already figured out everything in between.

Chatting late at night, the two secretly climbed out of a wall in the house and disappeared into the night.

In the courtyard, Lu Zhaoyi and Qu Zhiyun left one after another, and with the assistance of the secret agents in the city, they left the stone city.

"In three days, the Dongning army will land on the river, and before that, we must completely control the Jianye ferry, and cooperate with the fifth Langya in Jiangbei to bury this army at the bottom of the river."

Returning to the stone mountain, gazing at the quiet city below the mountain, she couldn't help but feel a little melancholy.

"I believe in you." Qu Zhiyun suddenly appeared behind her, "These plans of yours will definitely come true."

Lu Zhaoyi turned around, looked at her, and smiled: "I hope so......

She doesn't want Jianye City to fall, and she doesn't want to set off another war in the land of Dayuan, where the mountains and rivers are broken, the lives are ruined, and the decades-long chaos is best not to be repeated.

Maybe it's because I've seen many tragic things in the world that I want to keep this mountain and river even more.

Therefore, she must control the situation in the city as soon as possible and firmly control this place to be truly safe.

Two days later, the sun was shining.

After two days of secret planning, the situation in Jianye City is now relatively stable, and there is no major turmoil.

The quieter it is, the more it represents, the wind and rain are coming, and the undercurrent is surging.

Around noon on this day, Lu Zhaoyi received a secret letter from the fifth Langya, and he took the Lingwu army to stand by in Jiangdu, and lurked near the Jiangbei ferry, waiting for the opportunity.

After reading it, she used to burn the letters, and she was stunned.

"What? Questions?"

She shook her head and sighed, "Everything is going according to plan, but I'm worried that there will be changes in Jianye City tonight."

Following her train of thought, Qu Zhiyun frowned, and thought for a long time, "You are also right to worry, in Jianye City, the Qiantang Gang has infiltrated, and our whereabouts may also be discovered by them, once we fail, I am afraid it will be difficult to get out."

"Hmm." Lu Zhaoyi said lightly, "It's up to tonight."

However, before dark, an uninvited guest came to Stone Mountain, which attracted their attention, which made Lu Zhaoyi panic.
