He Quangui and the others were all stunned, they all knew the temperament of the person who spoke, that was like a mountain of words, and he was by no means a believer, since he was so sure, it must be true. He Quangui was extremely excited, stepped forward and grabbed Ye Suiyun's arm with one hand, greeted the rest of the people with the other, and said in a trembling voice: "Helper, I can find you, the beggars help the disciples of Yangzhou Helm to meet the helper." Except for the middle-aged man, he and everyone else fell on one knee and bowed in unison, and immediately knelt down inside and outside the hall.

After Ye Suiyun hurriedly returned the salute, he looked at it silently, and was even more surprised, the middle-aged man actually had ten small pockets hanging on his body, knowing that this person must be a member of the beggar gang, but he didn't know what his identity was, but he had one more bag than the highest-level nine-bag disciple, and hugged his fists and said: "Thank you seniors, but I don't know what to call it." ”

Before the man could speak, He Quangui hurriedly said: "Gang leader, this is the representative of my beggar gang in the Haoqi Alliance, Sikong Zhongping's senior. "It turned out to be the protector of the Haoqi Alliance today, and the master of the Yuheng Altar, Sikong Zhongping, who is one of the seven stars of the Haoqi. Because of joining the Haoqi Alliance, this person's identity has gradually changed to a supernumerary member of the Beggar Gang, although he was born in the Beggar Gang, but in fact he is no longer a member of the Inner League, so he only needs to give Ye Suiyun the courtesy of the rivers and lakes. The ten cloth bags on his body were specially given by the beggars considering his special status and status, and they were more of a symbol, not an actual position.

He Quangui saw Ye Suiyun's surprised look, and added: "Senior Sikong is also the helmsman of Yangzhou before Yin Fang. Ye Suiyun nodded, thinking of Yin Fang, who was killed by his own palm on Jun Mountain.

Sikong Zhong was expressionless, and arched his hand: "The Ye Gang Master is worthy of his name, admire." "The voice is steady, not the slightest emotion.

Ye Suiyun didn't have time to be polite, and after he didn't dare to say anything, he hurriedly grabbed He Quangui and asked urgently: "The situation is as urgent as a spark, I won't say more, Brother He quickly gathered all the disciples of the rudder, I have something to say." ”

He Quangui hurriedly said: "The helper can't be called that, the eldest brother or something can't be a brother." As he spoke, he waved his hand again and again, and continued: "As for the brothers who split the rudder, I'm afraid there are only thirty or forty people in the rudder at the moment, and I don't know what the helper has to do, can you say it first, and everyone can help discuss it together?" ”

Hearing He Quangui's words, Ye Suiyun's heart suddenly cooled for a while, and after careful questioning, he learned that after Lin Cheng received the news that Ye Suiyun was in Yangzhou, he issued a death order to the Yangzhou rudder, and it was necessary to protect the safety of the helper. But at that time, Mo said that he was protecting, and he didn't even know where the master was, and the rudder was anxious and powerful. Therefore, the main step of the upper deputy helmsman divided the beggar disciples under him into groups of many people and sent them to search everywhere, including himself and led people to Qingluo Island to find them, and only then did he encounter the dispute between the Cardinal Sect and Qixiufang. The other disciples who were ordered to go out to visit did not dare to return because they had not completed their tasks, and continued to search, so that the number of people at the helm became smaller and smaller, and now only more than 30 people remained.

Although Bu Lumen had found Ye Suiyun, until he left Yangzhou, he never revealed the slightest news because he carefully followed the instructions of the helper. He considered that it was okay for the brothers who were looking for them to walk outside, and that it would be okay to wait until the matter was over and then tell them to come back, so as not to delay the business. As a result, Ye Suiyun was left unavailable, and even if he wanted to recall the gang members who were on a mission now, it was too late.

Seeing that Ye Suiyun looked depressed and sat on the ground, He Quangui and the others were even more confused, they didn't know why the gang leader was so depressed, and they didn't dare to ask, they looked at each other with eyes, but they couldn't see why.

Ye Suiyun's thoughts fluctuated at this time, his heart was flustered and anxious, and he was helpless, thinking of the danger of Qixiufang, as well as the results that those disciples might face, he couldn't help but shiver, and thought: "Even if I want to stop them now, it's too late, no matter how high my martial arts are, it will be powerless to meet hundreds of people, but what should I do?" ”

Seeing Ye Suiyun sitting on the ground, listless, Sikong Zhongping on the side snorted coldly and said, "As a helper, what is it like to be so distracted." ”

Ye Suiyun came back to his senses, quickly stood up, and said with a helpless smile: "What the predecessors taught me is that the kid is not formal, because I thought that after tomorrow, there will be no Qixiufang faction in the huge rivers and lakes, and this is the only way. ”

Everyone's surprise was not trivial, and even Sikong Zhongping couldn't help but show surprise, and others asked one after another: "What does the helper mean by this?" "Could it be that there will be something big about Qixiufang?" "Even if an opponent comes to the door, how can it be possible to wipe out an entire sect?" "Isn't there something irritating about this gang leader? Have fun with us. Someone on the side had already reached out to cover the mouth of the person who spoke.

Seeing that people had different expressions, Ye Suiyun sighed secretly, knowing that this matter was indeed unbelievable. Sikong Zhongping suddenly asked, "Dare to ask how many helpers does Gang Master Ye need?" Ye Suiyun was stunned for a moment and replied, "The more the merrier." I don't know why the other party asked.

Sikong Zhongping groaned slightly and said, "Although I don't understand the reason yet, I believe in you." Does Gang Master Ye know why I'm here? Ye Suiyun didn't know why, and shook his head blankly.

Sikong Zhongping said: "This time, I am as an envoy of the Haoqi Alliance, sending a friend to Yangzhou, and by the way, I took the time to visit the old friends of the beggar gang. My friend's name is Feng Changqing, and I have been friends since childhood. Speaking of this, Ye Suiyun still didn't understand what Sikong Zhongping meant, and secretly wondered if his friend was a master of one enemy and one hundred? Even that wasn't enough.

Seeing that Ye Suiyun and the others were puzzled, Sikong Zhongping reacted in time and said, "This person is currently the general of the Right Dragon Wu of the Northern Ya Forbidden Army. This time I was ordered to send an envoy to the Haoqi Alliance... Ye Suiyun was flexible, and when he heard the three words of the general, he couldn't care about the rudeness, and interrupted and asked urgently: "Did the predecessor say that this general can find a lot of helpers?" ”

Sikong Zhongping nodded, stopped talking nonsense, and said: "He is now leading a thousand soldiers of the Right Dragon Martial Army under his command, stationed in Ziwei Gang outside Yangzhou City. Before he finished speaking, Ye Suiyun had already cheered, forced himself to settle down, and said with his fists clenched: "You have worked hard for your predecessors, you must ask General Feng to send troops to help, tonight, a surprise attack on Wuyan Island." He Quangui and others exclaimed: "Want to fight the saltless island? "They have lived in Jiangnan for a long time, and naturally know that Wuyan Island has deep roots and great influence here, so they are inevitably surprised.

After Ye Suiyun explained the current situation to everyone, he said: "Lord Ye Fang has agreed to plan to start when he is young, and when the time comes, I will help my disciples, plus the Right Dragon Martial Army, Qixiu Fang, and besiege on three sides, and I will definitely be able to win in one battle." ”

The beggar gang has also recovered from their surprise, He Quangui looked excited, and said as if he had made up his mind: "This saltless island is a disaster, and the people have suffered a lot, and with the help leader, this time I will it." The crowd chimed in, "yes, it." "It is commonplace for the gang to scold and scold, Ye Suiyun and Sikong Zhongping don't care, knowing that most of the disciples in the gang are in the market, and it is extremely common to speak indecently. Sikong Zhongping was responsible for contacting Feng Changqing, and without further ado, he left after reconfirming the time of attacking the island.

After completing the rescue of the soldiers, Ye Suiyun felt that the image of his heart had moved a boulder, and he wanted to rely on more than 200 people to save the scene with the rudder of Yangzhou, but he never thought that he had brought in a thousand ironclad troops.

He Quangui didn't dare to slack off, and told in detail about the past at the beginning of the establishment of the beggar gang. The people in the beggar gang come from all over the world, and most of them are people living at the bottom. Among them, there are already scoundrels in the market, and dragons and snakes are mixed, and it is inevitable that there will be people who take advantage of the situation to commit adultery. Although under the urging of the gang leader Yin Tianci, a number of gang rules and criminal laws were agreed upon by the elders. But the people in the gang are all free and idle, and the gang rules are just a dead letter. At that time, the owner of the Yangzhou branch helmsman was named Feng Kuan, relying on himself as a gang veteran, and he was empty-eyed on weekdays, buying land privately, marrying wives and raising concubines, and stirring flowers and grass everywhere. Once, when he fell in love with the wife of a rich family, he fabricated accusations, saying that the rich family was unkind to the rich, and he ran rampant in the village, and even sent someone to sneak into the house at night, kill the rich family, and snatch his wife.

At this time, a person who had only been in the gang for three days stood up and announced Feng Kuan's ten major crimes in public at the meeting, and wanted Feng Kuan to be executed in accordance with the gang rules. Feng Kuan saw that he was just a beginner disciple with no pockets, so he dared to say such a big thing and ordered him to be taken down. Everyone knew Feng Kuan's personality, and they also deeply admired the courage of this young man, so they hesitated. At this moment, this young man killed Yan Kuan with a palm that exceeded everyone's imagination, and the disciples in the hall were stunned. When the young man read out the 10 counts of Yan Kuan, people were still in a dream. This young man is Sikong Zhongping!

Ye Suiyun slapped his thigh, his eyebrows danced, and he cheered: "Good man, this Sikong Zhongping, let's not talk about martial arts, his status was low at that time, but he dared to stand up and uphold justice, this is the true character of Haojie." As he spoke, he stretched out his thumb and imagined the scene of the day, and his heart was also full of pride.

He Quangui said: "Who said no, a person who has only been in the gang for three days killed the helmsman with one palm, this matter spread all over the rivers and lakes in a few days, the Yin gang master at that time galloped hundreds of miles to Yangzhou to deal with it, as soon as the dust and dust entered the hall, he saw Sikong Zhongping who was tied to the pillar by the five flowers, and found that he was not only not panicked, but he was calm, and I was present at that time, and I can't forget the momentum. With the narration, He Quangui seemed to remember the situation of that day again, and later after the gang leader personally investigated, Feng Kuan's guilt was conclusive, and it was not a pity to die according to the gang rules. And although Sikong Zhongping has evidence, killing the helmsman as a disciple is a fault after all. On the one hand, Yin Tianci loves talents, and on the other hand, he also wants to use this matter to rectify the gang atmosphere, so he is only punished with eighty rods, and he is promoted to the helmsman of Yangzhou.

Ye Suiyun nodded and said, "I see, but I don't know why he went to the Haoqi Alliance again and became a supernumerary member of my gang?" ”

He Quangui said: "After the battle of Fenghua Valley, the Yin gang leader disappeared, Sikong Zhongping was the best candidate for the law enforcement elder, but the new gang leader Guo Yan seemed to be quite wary of him for some reason, and then he happened to establish the Haoqi Alliance under the organization of the imperial court, and he needed a representative of my beggar gang, so the Guo gang leader recommended him to the past." Xie Yuan, the leader of the Haoqi Alliance, valued him very much, and even appointed him as the protector of the alliance. Listening to He Quangui's story, Ye Suiyun felt even more admiration, and felt in his heart that the beggar gang owed a lot to this person, but the past was over, and it was useless to think about it. He looked up at the sky and saw that the clouds were getting red, so he issued an order to gather all the brothers who could be found around him as much as possible, and he Quangui would lead the crowd to attack the island tonight, and he would take the first step. He pondered that he should sneak into the saltless island in advance, find Xi'er, and send her away first, lest the scene be chaotic after the war, and if anything goes wrong, I'm sorry for Daddy Yang.

Bidding farewell to the beggars, Ye Suiyun hurried back to the dock. From a distance, I saw a person sitting in the cockpit of his boat with a wine jug in his hand, and said busily: "Don't blame the guests, if you don't transport passengers today, the small ones will rush home." "I thought that the merchant who wanted to ferry, so I wanted to send him away quickly.

Who knew that the man had no intention of leaving, and he didn't turn around, but only occasionally brought the wine jug to his mouth and took a sip, Ye Suiyun's heart moved slightly, and without further words, he propped up the rod and sailed the boat away from the shore. After a while, he came to the center of the lake, and the man spoke: "It seems that the Saltless Island is in danger this time, I thought you would stop this big battle, but I didn't expect to become the convener in the end, hehe." With laughter, the man got up and walked out of the cabin, with a handsome face and calm eyebrows, it was actually Li Fu, a mysterious person who had a relationship with Ye Suiyun outside the Fengxiang Gambling Village.

Ye Suiyun said with a smile: "The last time I saw Your Excellency was at night, no wonder I just looked familiar, but I couldn't remember it for a while." It's good that you're here this time, and I have something to ask you. Li Fu raised his eyebrows and said: "Don't ask yet, I know what you want to ask, I won't tell you, this time, I have something to ask you." ”

Ye Suiyun couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "You are really strange, you say that you have a request for me, but your tone is so tough. If you refuse to answer my doubts, can't I refuse you? "I can't help but laugh.

Li Fu didn't care about it, and took another sip of wine and said, "You won't refuse, because you owe me a personal favor, and you want to pay it back to me this time." ”

Ye Suiyun sighed, and then listened to Li Fu continue: "Last time, if you hadn't used my token to find Xuanzi Erqi to help, how could you grasp Fang Jun's movements and finally clear your name?" Isn't that a great favor from me? "Spread your hands, with an expression of "I'm sure you're going to eat you."

Ye Suiyunqi said: "Do you know this? "I immediately understood that Xuanzi Er was originally his subordinate, so he would naturally report this matter. I had to smile helplessly: "You are really a good material for doing business, you have to go back once you help people, but you don't suffer a loss." ”

Li Fu laughed, nodded and said, "That also means that Tong Su is not deceived and is genuine." ”

Ye Suiyun said: "Say, what do you want me to do?" Li Fu said: "Please rescue someone from Saltless Island tonight, this person's name is Yang Bao, a person who is about the same age as you." ”

Ye Suiyun was slightly stunned when he heard this, and said strangely: "Is it him?" I've seen this person, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he looks very honest. Then he described how he saw Yang Bao and the girl Ah Zhu arguing over an embroidered shoe on the shore that day, and how he saved Shu Xiaoyu and others with this clue.

After listening to this, Li Fu nodded and said, "It's him, this guy doesn't know the severity, he broke around and was captured and locked up by the people of Wuyan Island." I don't know where he's being held, so it's up to you to find him. ”

Ye Suiyunqi said: "Who is he, why are you so concerned?" Also, with the strength you have, why do you need help from an outsider like me? ”

Li Fu said: "Ye Shaoxia asked well, I can't tell you who Yang Bao is, as for why I am looking for you, it is very simple, because you are suitable." The words made Ye Suiyun's second monk confused, and his heart was not happy. Suddenly, my heart moved, but I didn't know how to speak.

Seeing that Ye Suiyun wanted to speak and stopped, Li Fu sighed and said, "I know you want to ask about your father's whereabouts. Ye Suiyun's eyes widened, obviously being said by Li Fu, but he heard the other party continue: "Actually, it's not that I can't say it clearly, but I really don't know." Ye Shaoxia thought that Yin Yuan would know the world, but he never thought that we were just people, not gods, and it was impossible to understand everything. ”

Seeing Ye Suiyun's disappointment, Li Fu hesitated slightly, sighed and said slowly: "Okay, I'll tell you something to say, it's a friend of yours." As far as I know, twenty years ago, there was a shocking battle on the Tianzi Peak of Nanping Mountain, and many people attended. This battle can be said to swallow mountains and rivers and destroy the world. Its influence can be said to be unprecedented, and your father Nie Xiaotian is among them, and it is after this battle that he has lost his trace, and no one has seen him since. Speaking of which, you were not yet a year old at the time. ”

Although it was only a few words, Ye Suiyun had already heard it like thunder, his blood was boiling, and he couldn't help but be excited: "Could it be... Don't... Nothing left? Is my father alive or dead? You said there were many people involved, but are they all missing? Someone can tell, right? ”

Li Fu shook his head and said: "This matter is strange here, such a vast battle, no one can say clearly, who were the people involved that day." The Nie Xiaotian we know is gone, and the other person is the Sword Saint. Ye Suiyun was taken aback again, and Li Fu continued: "But the Sword Saint didn't reveal the slightest bit of information later, and now that he is no longer alive, what the situation was at that time, we can only speculate on the scene of the broken wall of Tianzi Peak afterwards." At that time, there were a large number of people who participated in this battle, and it can be inferred from the traces that remained, that there were probably no less than ten of them who could be regarded as the top masters. Later, after the secret investigation got the report, the eighteen masters of the famous Ouchi also participated in this battle, and finally fifteen people died, thinking that there must be the intervention of the imperial court. Ye Suiyun suddenly remembered that he had also heard Ji Beiqing talk about this in the Xiangfang pool, and rushed out: "Ji Beiqing!" ”

Li Fu nodded and said in a deep voice: "Yes, Ji Beiqing is one of the three people who survived that year. Ye Suiyun's eyes flickered, his thoughts surged, and he couldn't wait to ask Ji Beiqing to understand, but after thinking about it again, who was Ji Beiqing, how could he answer obediently, came back to his senses, and said embarrassedly: "You go on." ”

Li Fu smiled slightly, took another sip of the wine jug, and said: "The eighteen masters collapsed overnight and killed fifteen people, but the imperial court didn't give any explanation, but they tried their best to cover it up, and it was vague, but where could they hide it from everyone." Speaking of this, he looked at Ye Suiyun solemnly, obviously thinking about whether to tell him what he said later, after thinking about it, he continued: "After that battle, there was not a single corpse on Tianzi Peak, it turned out that they were all hidden in the palace, and the situation that was discovered later was surprising, judging from the situation of many corpses, in addition to the fifteen masters who died, there were many people from other Jianghu sects, many of whom were famous figures at that time, and judging from the circumstances of their deaths, it should have been a union of many masters at that time, Besiege Nie Xiaotian and the Sword Saint at the same time at Tianzi Peak. ”

Ye Suiyun sighed, only feeling top-heavy and crumbling, this situation had never been seen since practicing the Autumn Rain Technique, and he was obviously shocked by Li Fu's words. Stabilizing his body with force, he asked, "They... Why are they besieging my father? ”

Li Fu replied: "I don't know, and there is no need to know, no one has ever asked to investigate this matter, and for a matter that no one cares about, Yin Yuan will not spend time and energy to pay attention to." Seeing that Ye Suiyun's eyes were slightly red, revealing a strange expression, Li Fu smiled and said: "Don't be surprised, I believe you have heard that although the Yin Yuan Society is mysterious, it is actually a business, as long as you can afford the price, you can naturally know what you are asking for." Therefore, if no one asked to know the truth about Tianzi Peak back then, then there would be no investigation to start. Why waste time taking care of him, and what I'm telling you is the information that needs to be recorded as a major event in the martial arts yearbook back then. ”

Ye Suiyun immediately continued: "Then what if I ask for the truth now?" You say the price. ”

Li Fu was stunned for a moment, stared at Ye Suiyun for a while, and said with a smile: "Of course you can, the price is the Autumn Rain Sword Spectrum on your body." ”

Ye Suiyun is also a sign, I never expected Li Fu to mention this. He knew that this item was originally stolen by Wei Qiwu from the Cardinal Sect Master Assasin, and then passed it on to him through Dai Shi, and he returned it to Keren, and finally Keren gave it to himself in the name of the Sword Saint. It can be said that this small booklet has been infused with the hard work and efforts of many people, and these people are close friends with themselves, after a little consideration, Ye Suiyun raised his head and said: "Hmph, even if I don't rely on you, I can find it out myself, and I want a sword spectrum?" No way. Li Fu laughed and said, "If you want to ask Ji farewell, don't think about it this time, he has already left Saltless Island." ”

Unexpectedly, Li Fu broke his mind with a single sentence, and Ye Suiyun asked in surprise, "How do you know?" ”

Li Fu still raised his eyebrows and said, "Because I deliberately notified him." ”

Ye Suiyun kept his body and said coldly: "What, what does Your Excellency mean by this?" ”

Seeing this, Li Fu smiled and said: "You don't need to suspect that I am an accomplice with him, the two of us don't know each other at all, it was I who tried to get Yang Guozhong to leave, and Ji Beiqing naturally had to follow." ”

Ye Suiyun was puzzled and asked, "Why?" Don't you know that Yang Guozhong is the controller of everything at present, he used despicable means to deal with Chunyang and Qixiu, and also framed me to kill people, how can he let it go easily. It sounds like he's just a big official in the imperial court, but this time I wanted to catch him and ask him to understand, why did you help him escape? ”

Li Fu sighed and said, "Ye Suiyun, many things can't be explained to you clearly now, and it's not time to deal with Yang Guozhong." You'll understand later. Looking up at the afterglow that was about to set, and then at Ye Suiyun who was dazed, Li Fu said: "Before leaving, let me guide you again, Qian Zonglong, the owner of the saltless island, is also one of the three surviving masters of the year." ”

One sentence pulled Ye Suiyun's attention away, and he clapped his hands and said, "Yes, I was listening to the Perfume Pavilion that day, and Ji Beiqing said it." ”

At this time, a boat next to him staggered by, Li Fu jumped up, turned around and said: "Whether you want to or not, I will tell you so much news today, it is not for nothing, it is counted as you owe me again, and I will inform you when I think of what to do in the future." The boat was very fast, and with the last sentence it had turned into another river.

Ye Suiyun faintly felt that he seemed to have fallen into Li Fu's trap again, and he couldn't help but be depressed, but he couldn't do anything, although he still had a lot of things to ask, but he also knew that today was over, and he could only wait for later. In fact, I am still grateful to Li Fu from the bottom of my heart. At least there is a trace of the source of his father's whereabouts.
