Early the next morning, Ye Suiyun and the three of them settled the shop account and came to the Xilongtan Wharf. Huang Hua greeted Liba, who had been waiting here for a long time, and sent dozens of baskets of ingredients purchased yesterday to the boat one after another, and Lao Feng squatted on the side and smoked dry tobacco. When Ye Suiyun was bored, he saw that Yang Zhao and the others had also arrived.

After a busy period of work, everyone got on the boat. Lao Feng untied the cable and set off for home. Along the way, Ye Suiyun didn't dare to talk much, for fear that if people were suspicious, he sat on the vegetable stack in the cabin, and he just sat quietly without extinguishing the smoke, but Yang Zhao and Jia Huanghua talked a lot, plus the rowing Lao Feng was together, and the three of them chatted energetically. Ye Suiyun listened to them mostly about what he had seen and heard in the rivers and lakes, Yang Zhao was very eloquent, and he told the story vividly and interestingly, which made Ye Suiyun quite surprised. I thought that this surnamed Yang not only had a gloomy side, but also could talk to a little girl like Huang Hua, and this kind of ability to deal with all kinds of people was by no means simple. Huang Hua is not very old, and she has never been to many places, so she is even more interested in listening, and she has to ask a few words from time to time.

Yang Zhao suddenly thought of something and said: "Speaking of people with great skills in the rivers and lakes, I think of what happened in the old restaurant yesterday. Ye Suiyun's heart tightened, and he listened to Yang Zhao say: "This little brother was not afraid of the big scorpion yesterday, and sat in front of it, what surprised me the most was that he finally controlled it, I don't know how to do it?" ”

Jia Huanghua and Lao Feng didn't see what happened yesterday, and when they heard Yang Zhao talk about it at this moment, they both looked at it. Ye Suiyun shouted bad in his heart, but he smiled on his face and said: "The big officials have been promoted, and the small skills of carving insects are all children's tricks that can't be put on the stage, and they don't have to be laughed at when they say it, it's not worth mentioning, it's not worth mentioning." I thought that this person must be suspicious, and it was really not so easy to fool the past.

Yang Zhao shook his head and said: "I have traveled all over the country, and I can be regarded as a person who has seen the world. But the little brother's insect carving skills are not simple at all in my opinion. Ye Suiyun knew that once a person like Yang Zhao became suspicious, he would definitely hold on to it, and sure enough, he continued: "I thought about it yesterday, and I always couldn't figure it out, that little girl was clearly the owner of the strange scorpion, and I didn't know that she had trained it tens of thousands of times on weekdays, so she must be confident, how do you know that you stepped forward and easily restrained the strange scorpion, how can it be a small skill of carving insects?" I don't think it's a small trick, but I'm afraid it's still a very clever method, and looking at the way that thing retreats, it's a bit like it's controlled by the internal force in martial arts. As soon as this sentence was said, Ye Suiyun finished thinking about it, this surnamed Yang's eyes were not high, and his observation was so meticulous, it was really not simple, it seemed that he couldn't put it down.

Seeing that he was silent for a while, Yang Zhao said again: "I have never practiced martial arts, and when it comes to internal strength, although I know something, I am really a layman, and I don't know if I can see it accurately." But my friend couldn't be mistaken. Yan Ying, what do you say? Everyone knew that his last question was not to extinguish the smoke. Ye Suiyun said in his heart that his name was Yan Ying, I don't know if it was a real name, but it finally sounded like a normal name. Huang Hua had already heard that something was wrong, at this moment she was as frightened as Ye Suiyun, and she was extremely nervous, while Lao Feng looked puzzled. The face was full of puzzlement.

Immortal Smoke still closed his eyes, and said lightly: "What kind of internal strength, it's just some small tricks, deceiving people." Even if this little guy started cultivating in his previous life, it would be impossible. Then he didn't say much, but this sentence already showed that Ye Suiyun was too young, and even if he practiced martial arts, he would never be able to control the strange scorpion.

Yang Zhao seemed to have a lot of trust in Immortal Smoke, and when he heard him say this, he nodded and didn't ask any more questions. Ye Suiyun fell to the ground with a stone in his chest, knowing that Immortal Smoke was deliberately helping him to lie, and at the same time realizing that he had already recognized himself.

Yang Zhao still didn't give up, and asked again: "Since I guessed wrong, how did the little brother control the strange scorpion?" Ye Suiyun hurriedly stretched out his hand to his arms and touched it, and suddenly had an idea: "My hometown is located in the mountains and forests, and there are many poisonous insects, snakes and rats, so every household in that area will prepare some insect repellent medicine, and the effect of carrying it on the body on weekdays is very good." Yesterday, the strange insect smelled it and didn't dare come near me. As he spoke, he took out a small bag made of folded leaves, opened it and handed it to everyone, it was the medicine powder he collected last night.

Yang Zhao saw that the powder was slightly fluorescent, but he couldn't see anything else special, and as for whether he could avoid poisonous insects, he couldn't tell the truth from the fake at this time, nodded and asked, "Why is this powder wrapped in leaves so simple." Ye Suiyun scolded this guy in his heart for being suspicious, and he couldn't stop it, and replied: "This medicinal powder is very peculiar, and it must be used to bloom with leaves to be effective." Yang Zhao listened to what he said, so he didn't ask more, but he didn't speak anymore.

After the seemingly ordinary, but actually murderous conversation just now, Jia Huanghua was not interested in listening to the story anymore at the moment, and the whole ship immediately fell into silence, and only the sound of Lao Feng's wooden oars fluctuating on the water surface could be heard.

There was nothing to say in this way, because he went down the river, and returned to White Emperor City at noon. As soon as they got off the boat, Yang Zhao and the others were asked to leave by the person who answered them, and Ye Suiyun and the other miscellaneous servants who helped the cook carried all the ingredients in the boat back to the apse. Along the way, he kept thinking about why Yang Zhao came here, he was a member of the court, but he had private dealings with the Twelve Docks, and there must be an unknown powerful relationship behind it.

Ye Suiyun was thinking about it, but he saw Gong Dafei rushing out of the kitchen and said to him: "Jia Er, there is an important errand that you need to do today." Ye Suiyun nodded and said, "What's the matter?" Gong Dafei took out two food baskets that were much larger than usual, and said, "The fire master and the cold master are about to feast on the guests, this is the dish I just cooked, you can send it quickly." When Ye Suiyun heard this, this invitation was obviously surnamed Yang, Gong Dafei really helped himself, but his expression was embarrassed, and said: "But I still have to deliver food to the lord and the chief manager, why are I busy?" ”

Gong Dafei said: "Don't worry, I will send someone else to the lord and the chief manager, your legs are fast and steady, it's you." Hurry up and go while it's hot. Ye Suiyun stopped talking nonsense, took the food basket and ran away.

As soon as he entered the residence of the Yuwen brothers, he heard the sound of talking inside, and when he came to the inner room, the Yuwen brothers and Yang Zhao were talking something, and they sat on the side without extinguishing the smoke. Ye Suiyun didn't dare to look more, presented the dishes in the basket, and turned around to leave, but was seen by Yang Zhao, and he said, "It's this little brother again." Seeing this, the cyan-faced Yuwen Xuan asked, "How can Taiqing know him?" Yang Zhao then told the story of the old restaurant in Gushanji, and finally said: "This little brother is bold and daring, if I change it, I really don't dare to approach that strange scorpion." "Brother Yuwen was quite surprised when he heard this story at first glance. Ye Suiyun hurriedly said: "The young man doesn't know the height of the sky, and he is messing around for a while, which makes the distinguished guests laugh." ”

Seeing that he was polite and polite, Yuwen nodded and said, "Jia Er, this kid is very diligent and capable. He turned his head to Ye Suiyun and said, "It just so happens that Lan Zi and the red lady don't know where they went, so you can wait at the door." Ye Suiyunxin said that he couldn't ask for it, respectfully agreed, withdrew from the house, and glanced at it when he went out, and the unextinguishable smoke that had been silent on the table seemed to have a crooked corner of his mouth.

Standing outside the door, Ye Suiyun said in his heart this time that he could be regarded as the most open-minded and unconcealed eavesdropping, although he had to stand outside the door, but it was enough for him to hear the conversation of the three people in the room clearly. I only heard Yang Zhao praise the strong black armor army in the city, and Yuwen and the others were also very proud.

Yang Zhao said: "After looking at the formation and training of your army, I am not worried about their combat effectiveness, and I admire them very much. It's just that I don't know what the lord of this palace thinks about cultivating an army? ”

Yuwen said with an enemy: "Taiqing doesn't have to worry, the lord has no intention of mundane things, and he doesn't care too much about everything." Therefore all the things in this city fell on my two brothers. As long as you notify you when everything is ready, I will be able to send troops at any time, and I will never miss a major event. Ye Suiyun said in his heart: "I don't know what kind of big thing this guy is talking about to send troops, and who is he dealing with?" ”

Yang Zhao sighed and said, "I see, I have heard the name of the palace lord for a long time before, and I still hope to make friends with him, it seems that it is not such an honor, so it is okay." If you are not a person with great ambitions, you will not be able to plan and plan. ”

Yuwen snorted coldly and said, "What kind of ambition, I will only hold a portrait of a woman all day long and look at it endlessly, but it's a pity that the cultivation of that body." Yuwen Enemy hurriedly interrupted him with a look in his eyes and said, "Second brother, don't talk nonsense. Yu Wenxuan probably felt that he had said it, so he stopped talking.

Immortal Yan suddenly spoke: "The skills of the two deputy lords are only afraid that neither of them will lose to Gong Ao, why do you want to be subordinate to others to be this second position?" The voice was indifferent, and it sounded like talking to himself.

Brother Yuwen glanced at each other, their faces were triumphant, and Yuwen said in a long time: "Brother Yan Ying asked well, this matter should not be said, but since it was asked by the two of them, there is no need to hide it, twenty years ago, my brothers were willing to worship the palace and be proud, but it was to protect today's major events." Yang Zhaoqi said: "Why is this, I would like to hear it in detail." ”

Yuwen said to the enemy: "That day, all of us besieged Nie Xiaotian and Tuoba Sinan on the Son of Heaven Peak, but in the end we didn't get anything, it was really in vain, and we almost lost our lives." Ye Suiyun suddenly came to his senses, and he heard Yuwen Xuan also nod and said: "Yes, the battle situation that day was so tragic that day, it is still chilling to think about it now." If it weren't for me pulling Gao Jinglie in front of me at the critical moment to block Nie Xiaotian's palm, I am afraid that I would already be dry bones in the soil at this time. Fortunately, the surnamed Gao went to Huangquan for me. ”

Immortal Yan raised his eyebrows and said: "'Changing the Sun Divine Monarch' Gao Jinglie, it is said that the internal and external skills have reached the first-class level, this person suddenly disappeared twenty years ago, but I didn't expect that he was killed by Nie Xiaotian at Tianzi Peak?" Yuwen Enemy sighed: "The powerful person who died under Nie Xiaotian and the Sword Saint that day is not only a Gao Jinglie. After saying that, he shook his head, as if he had palpitations. Ye Suiyun could only hear it with excitement, fantasizing about his father's power at that time, and couldn't help but shout hello.

Yu Wendi said again: "This is not to talk about it later, after this battle, Li Xiangguo found the two of us and made a heavy promise, asking us to establish a base camp on the Yangtze River to wait for the incident, so it has the name of the later twelve chain docks." ”

Immortal Smoke said: "I see, the two deputy lords have worked hard and painstakingly to plan, but I don't know why every time the rivers and lakes mention this place, they only hear the name of Gong Ao, but the two of them are unknown?" ”

Yuwen Yan laughed and said: "Brother Yan Ying is on the point, you must know that this kind of thing of raising troops to plan is the least tolerated by the imperial court, even if others don't meddle in their affairs, that day the policy mansion is not easy to fool, so push Gong Ao to the cusp of the storm to shelter from the wind and rain, and my two brothers are good to make a big deal here." Ye Suiyun listened to what he said and Gong Qing's judgment was the same, and he couldn't help but admire this girl more in his heart.

Yuwen said with an enemy: "What the second brother said is that Tiance Mansion really can't help but be guarded, think about the Ming Sect more than ten years ago, the sect masters are like clouds, there are many talents, Fenghua Valley defeated the beggar gang and the Tang Sect in the battle, and it has the potential to become the first sect in the world, what is the result, the battle of Guangming Temple, almost all the troops killed by Tiance were wiped out, and they disappeared from then on, and they were never heard of again." ”

When Yang Zhao heard this, he smiled and said: "Speaking of Tiance Mansion, the two of you don't need to worry too much, he, Li Chengen, is only afraid that it will be a day without a day." ”

Yuwen and the others asked at the same time, "How do you say this?" ”

Yang Zhao said: "Speaking of which, I want to thank the two of you, do you remember the letter I brought a few days ago?" A hint of discoloration flashed on the faces of the two brothers, looking quite embarrassed, and Yuwen said to the enemy: "Naturally, I remember that Taiqing asked us to steal the Buddha bone relics of Famen Temple... At this point, I wanted to talk and stopped, and it seemed that I had not finished speaking. Ye Suiyun remembered the scribe Mr. Zhang he met in the dense forest, and remembered that he had said before leaving that he had come for this matter.

Yang Zhao said happily and continued: "That's right, but the two of you don't know that this matter is precisely to deal with Li Chengen and Tiance Mansion, because the task of greeting relics and escorting them along the way is the responsibility of Tiance Mansion. As soon as the relics were lost, Emperor Long Yan was furious, and even if Li Chengen was dismissed and imprisoned, if he could not be found within the time limit, he was afraid that the surname Li would lose his head. After saying that, he laughed loudly, and he was very proud, but he didn't notice that the faces of Yuwen and the others were different.

Immortal smoke saw it, and said lightly: "If you two have something to say, please say it directly." ”

Yuwen Enemy arched his hand and said: "What Taiqing entrusted that day, my brothers naturally didn't dare to slack off, and didn't hide it from you, it was my second brother who personally went out that day and stole the relics at night, but。。。。。 ”

Yang Zhao asked, "But what?" ”

Yuwen Xuan continued: "But the night after I succeeded, I and a few of my subordinates failed to return in time, and settled in a temple, but I didn't know that the relics were stolen by others again. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Zhao sighed and hurriedly asked, "Then can you find it in the end?" Yuwen shook his head and sighed. Immortal Smoke said: "I am curious below, who is sacred, and has the ability to take this thing under the hands of the Han Master." ”

Yuwen extinguished: "This person is a fat man, I found him when I chased him out, who knew that this strange fat man was on the ground for a while, I caught up with the chest and slapped a palm, then bent down and drilled into the ground, I wanted to follow him, only to find that the ground was just a hole the size of a bowl, and now I can't figure out how this fat weirdo got in." He paused for a moment and said, "By the way, there is a big white mouse the size of a yellow dog next to him, which is also extremely weird. ”

Ye Suiyun had already begun to doubt, and when he said the last sentence, he thought to himself that this was not Hu Tar and Lao Bai, it turned out that Yao'er had unintentionally saved his life in the broken house that night, and it was he who had just been injured by Yuwen Xuan. Thinking of this, Ye Suiyun's spirits perked up, could it be that the white beads that Hu Tatar gave to Tang Xiyao were not gold and jade were the Buddha bone relics they called?
