Chapter One Hundred and Seven: It Comes Naturally
Ye Suiyun was taken aback, only to hear the man say again: "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in the White Emperor City, it is better for you to be careful when you take this risk." The other two keys are not so easy to get hold of. As soon as he said that, he retreated, and he would disappear into the night.
Ye Suiyun suddenly rushed and said: "Why don't you help others to the end, and lend me your handsome?" ”
The man was about to leave, but when he heard this, he turned back, was silent for a while, and said with a smile: "You already know who I am." ”
Ye Suiyun re-lit the oil lamp, and suddenly the person in front of him appeared, it was Zhang Shanshi, the commander of the guard. Ye Suiyun smiled: "I'm not too sure, I'm just trying my luck, I didn't expect it to be you." ”
Zhang Shanshi said: "Why did you think of me? ”
Ye Suiyun said: "That day, Cao Gaisi led people to arrest Liu Yang, if it wasn't for Brother Zhang's words to save him, I was afraid that the whole ship would not survive, and I felt that you were not a bad person at that time." Seeing that Zhang Shanshi was silent, he smiled, and said: "You are silent on weekdays, have no quarrel with others, and hide very well, although others can't see it, I know that Brother Zhang is deeply hidden, and when it comes to martial arts, Cao Gaisi is far inferior to you." ”
Zhang Shanshi said: "The surname Cao has done a lot of evil, and he is innocent of death, I have long wanted to kill him, but unfortunately I have never had a chance." Yesterday, however, he somehow returned to the Lonely Mountain Gathering alone, and I could not have let go of such a good opportunity, so I ambushed him in the way he had to go, and captured and killed the thief in one fell swoop. Ye Suiyun thought to himself that he didn't know that this good opportunity was created by himself, so he told the whole story with a smile, and said, "If Brother Zhang makes a move later, it will depend on the younger brother." ”
Zhang Shanshi said unexpectedly: "It turns out that you dragged Meng Zhuangyuan and Qiu Saisai, so I wonder if things are so strange." ”
Ye Suiyun asked: "Brother Zhang, junior brother takes the liberty of asking, why would a person like you who is as jealous and hateful as you live in the White Emperor City?" "You must know that the helmsman of the Twelve Links Dock is a place where thieves and robbers gather, and it is conceivable that what they have done is even more evil, and it is difficult to write.
Zhang Shanshi didn't expect him to ask this question, groaned slightly, and sighed: "Who called my life-saving benefactor the city lord of White Emperor City." Ye Suiyunqi said: "You say Gong Ao? ”
Zhang Shanshi nodded, but he didn't want to say more, he reached out and took the key he kept from his waist and handed it to Ye Suiyundao: "This time Cao Gaisi has a secret order, he should have returned to the city yesterday, Yuwen Enemy has become suspicious, so if you want to save people, you must take advantage of tonight, and I will arrange for you to go out of the city at dawn tomorrow morning." ”
Ye Suiyun took the key, and in retrospect, it was no wonder that Cao Gaisi said that he would rush back overnight before leaving, and asked, "Why are you willing to help me?" ”
Zhang Shanshi said: "Over the years, the Yuwen brothers have used the lord to extract the map, I have long seen it, but I have no good solution. Now that they are desperate to find the secret of emptiness, how can I give them their wishes? I will do whatever is good for the lord. ”
Ye Suiyun pondered in his heart, it seems that there is more than one person in the White Emperor City who understands Gong Qing. Although Zhang Shanshi was reluctant to mention the past in front of him, he must have known his life experience well, and even saved his life. This also explains why Zhang Shanshi, who is mediocre in the eyes of others, can take on the command of the guard, and is also responsible for keeping one of the keys in the Tianzi Room, naturally because Gong Ao knows very well that his ability is enough to take on heavy responsibilities.
Zhang Shanshi said: "Don't delay any longer, it's almost time, you should think about how to get the third key." After saying that, he flashed and disappeared.
Ye Suiyun put away the two keys and the seal, blew out the oil lamp, and ran to the governor's mansion with a gust of wind, but unexpectedly did not see Tang Xiyao and Gong Qing, but only saw Meng Gong of Fulu Twin Stars was already waiting there.
It turned out that Tang Xiyao had already prepared everything for opening the bone, and considering that Xiao Mengzi's danger could not be delayed any longer, he temporarily decided to do it immediately. Others were suspicious, so they specially took advantage of the late night to carry out the operation, and Gong Qing and Lu Wu also went to help at this moment.
Meng Gongdao: "The old man can't help, and the disciples who are waiting outside the door are worried and tormented, and the manager said that you will come here to find them, so he came to wait." As he spoke, he took out a cloth bag from his sleeve, shook it open, revealing a yellow and clear copper key, and said: "The chief manager has told the old man about you, since you are not making an enemy of White Emperor City, nor is it dealing with the palace lord, for the sake of you and Tang Xiaomei's hard work for Mengzi, you can take this key." ”
Ye Suiyun was overjoyed, he didn't expect that everything would be ready in an instant, which meant that he could enter the Tianzi room to rescue Liu Yang now. Thinking of Zhang Shanshi's instructions just now, it is natural that there is no further ado. He suddenly thought that there was no palace power sigil, but what was the use of not having papers. Hurriedly: "Oops, no, this letter to the guards is not yet available." ”
Meng Gong listened to Ye Suiyun explain the matter, and muttered: "The most critical point is only in the rune and not the paperwork. "Meng Gong entered the house, spread out the paper and ink, thought about it, picked up the pen and wrote down the words 'ordered to take people', and picked up Gong Wei's general seal and stamped it squarely under the letterhead.
Ye Suiyunqi said: "That's it?" Meng Gong folded the letter, handed it to him, and said, "Don't worry, this letter will be in place." ”
Ye Suiyun nodded, knowing that there was no longer any time to hesitate, and after bidding farewell to Meng Gong, he rushed to the highest standard prison cell in the White Emperor City--- Tianzi Room. Although he had already explored the place with Huanghua before, it was the first time he had come here. In the darkness of the night, from the outside, it looked more like a huge box, with no arches or windows, except for a small door in front of it.
There was no one in front of the door except for two dozing guards. Ye Suiyun looked at it in his eyes, knowing that this place seemed to be lax in defense, but in fact it was full of organs, if someone who didn't know entered recklessly, it would definitely touch the police post in it, and immediately hundreds of dragon crossbow guards surrounded this place.
He calmed his mind, stepped forward, shook Ling Xin in front of the guard's eyes, and said, "On the orders of the lord, I am here to fetch people." The two guards, already sleepy, were awakened by his sudden appearance. The thin-faced guard on the left rubbed his eyes, moved the lantern closer, looked at it carefully, and nodded: "Yes, it's the general's seal, let's go in." The fat-faced man on the right asked, "Do you have the key to open the iron door?" Ye Suiyun picked up the key and shook it, and said, "Of course, otherwise you said that I am here to rob the prison?" The two guards said no more, and sat down on each other's sides in confusion.
Ye Suiyun let out a long breath, entered the door, and sure enough, he saw an iron door in front of him, he opened it with the key held by Cao Gaisi, and saw that there was another door behind him, so he opened three doors in order. When the third door opened, what greeted me was not a damp and damp fenced cell, but a clean and orderly room, with simple but untidy furnishings. This time it was very unexpected, he thought that this legendary Tianzifang had imagined it dozens or hundreds of times, but he couldn't imagine that it was like this anyway. After thinking about it again, what people said was very clear that it was a Tianzi room, not a Tianzi cell, and they only blamed themselves for thinking too wrong.
The room is divided into two parts, inside and outside, Ye Suiyun can only see half of the outside, a candle flame on the table of eight immortals in front of him is burning suddenly, an old man is concentrating on reading a book, he doesn't look at Ye Suiyun, his eyes are still fixed on the book in his hand, and said: "I have said everything that should be said, the old man only has this life left, if you want it, take it, don't bother me." ”
Ye Suiyun recognized that it was Liu Yang who spoke, and stepped forward and said, "Senior Liu, I'm here to save you out." ”
Liu Yang was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Ye Suiyun carefully, but he didn't get up, his expression was suspicious, obviously he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in this gourd. Ye Suiyun said: "Seniors don't have to be suspicious, come with me." ”
Liu Yang's eyes narrowed and asked, "Who are you, why can you come here, why did you rescue the old man?" He asked three questions in a row, obviously not believing Ye Suiyun.
Ye Suiyun had no choice, he knew that an old Jianghu like Liu Yang must be a very suspicious person, and the place he was in was indeed unusual, so it seemed that he had to convince him to believe in himself first, otherwise he would not be willing to leave. Ye Suiyun looked at the direction of the gate, and the two guards had already begun to snore at this time. He lightly covered the iron door so as not to alarm the two, and turned back and said softly: "Just because I know that you and my father were old friends, I have come to rescue you." Hope to find out where my dad is. ”
Liu Yang asked, "Who is your father?" ”
Ye Suiyun replied, "Nie Xiaotian." ”
Liu Yang was like a thunderbolt, his eyes widened in shock, staring straight at Ye Suiyun, and he trembled for a long time and said, "You... You.. It's with the clouds... Nie Suiyun? Suddenly, he looked excited and said, "If there is a red mark in your left knee, show me quickly." ”
Ye Suiyun was also very surprised, there was indeed a red birthmark on the inside of his left knee, how did he know. Rolling up his trouser leg at the moment, Liu Yang saw that the mark on his leg was already old tears, and said, "Suiyun. . . Kid, you're that old. ”
Ye Suiyun said: "Seniors know me? But I've changed my surname to Ye. Liu Yang wiped his tears with his sleeve and said, "Ah, Guixiang's old mother changed your surname." He nodded again and said, "Well, yes, yes, since you live next to the Tibetan Sword Villa, it will be much safer to change your surname to Ye." ”
Ye Suiyun said, "You even know my grandmother's name?" "Grandma's full name is Ye Guixiang, no one in this world can know except herself, of course, before Liu Yang said the last sentence, Ye Suiyun thought so.
Liu Yang said: "I not only know her name, but also know that she is not your biological grandmother, but your mother's nursing mother." Do you know that even the grass hut where you live in Xiaozheng Village was built by me? ”
Liu Yang's casual words were really beyond Ye Suiyun's expectations, he already had a faint premonition that maybe many things that he couldn't find were about to be answered here, he sorted out his thoughts and asked: "Who do you say my mother is, why is grandma her nurse?" ”
Liu Yang said: "The newborn children of the royal family are all to be fed by nursing mothers, and biological mothers are not allowed to approach the children. Halfway through speaking, he suddenly noticed Ye Suiyun's confused expression, and suddenly said: "Ah, you don't know yet, your mother is Princess Yuzhen, the sister of the current emperor, and the golden branch and jade leaf of the Tang Dynasty." ”
Ye Suiyun opened his mouth twice, but he couldn't say anything, and he realized at this moment that he was completely unprepared for Liu Yang's words about his life experience, so he didn't know what to ask.
At this time, I suddenly heard someone in the room: "Old man You, someone is coming to save you, why don't you hurry up, grinding and chirping here endlessly, and let people sleep?" ”
Ye Suiyun was taken aback when he didn't expect that there was someone inside, he was disturbed by the two of them when he heard the words, he suddenly remembered that Jia Huanghua had mentioned before that Gong Dafei had to deliver food to a strange old man in the Tianzi room every day, presumably this person, and this person actually knew that Liu Yang's real name was You Qianhe. Ye Suiyun said: "Old man, you can also escape with us." ”
The man hadn't answered yet, but he heard Liu Yang say coldly: "Suiyun, this kind of treacherous futile thing to do to him, it's better for such a person to be locked up here for the rest of his life." Ye Suiyun was quite surprised, listening to Liu Yang's unkind tone, he expected that the two of them were in the same room and didn't know what kind of festival had happened, so they attracted such bad words, but they were embarrassed to ask in person.
The man laughed and said, "Old man You, you don't have to be bad-mouthed, I don't plan to go out, you talk quietly, don't disturb my sleep." Ye Suiyun said in his heart that Huanghua was right, this person is really weird, such a good opportunity to escape is in front of him, but he only cares about sleeping.
Liu Yang said: "Suiyun, don't pay attention to him." You sit down and listen to me. ”
Ye Suiyun said: "Senior Liu, let's leave here if you have anything to say." ”
Liu Yang tightly tugged on Ye Suiyun's sleeve, shook his head and said: "No, I'm old, and if I can't go far, it will only drag you down, so while I still have the opportunity, I want to tell you everything I know, otherwise I'm afraid it will be too late." ”
Ye Suiyun saw that his attitude was very resolute, and he knew that he couldn't fight each other, so he had to nod and sit down according to his words, and asked, "Dare to ask my seniors, is my father dead?" ”
Liu Yang said: "I don't know, I have also been investigating Nie Daxia's whereabouts over the years, but to no avail." ”
Ye Suiyun couldn't help but be disappointed and sour in his heart, Liu Yang said with a straight face: "Child, listen well, what I am talking about below is not only very related to your father, but even related to the safety of the whole world." Ye Suiyun saw that he said solemnly, and couldn't help but cheer up and nodded.
Liu Yang fell silent slightly, his thoughts drifted back to more than 20 years ago, and said: "I am not Liu Yang, my real name is You Qianhe, and I was also a well-known figure in the Shunan area more than 20 years ago. The whole thing happened in Zigong City, which was the Mid-Autumn Festival. Then he explained how arrogant the second dart head of the Longsheng Dart Bureau in Taoxiang Building was that year, which caused Shen Qing to fight unevenly, so that he fought with Meng Renhuan. And he tried to persuade him, but he almost caused a big disaster, but fortunately, Wang Yifeng appeared at a critical time and saved Wen Xiaoyue and a series of other things.
With You Qianhe's narration, Ye Suiyun's heart began to feel uneasy, especially when he heard the words 'Zigong City', because he remembered that in the Wujiao Pass, Wei Qiwu had told himself that the reason why Wang Yifeng was called 'Snow Devil' was because he slaughtered more than 70,000 people in Zigong City.
You Qianhe didn't know what he was thinking at the moment, and continued to narrate: "Wang Yifeng is indeed extraordinary, before that, I have never seen a person like him, his martial arts are superb but he has no breath of a martial artist, and he exudes a huge sense of oppression, so that people dare not get close. The most unbelievable thing is that such an aura is only aimed at people who practice martial arts, but ordinary people can approach him without noticing it. ”
Ye Suiyun agreed: "Such a character is indeed extraordinary. ”
You Qianhe said: "Wang Yifeng is an arrogant person, and he doesn't have the right temperament with people like me, so he didn't pay much attention to it. What made me happy that day was that I got acquainted with a good man like Shen Qing, and the two of us drank and talked happily until Ning was drunk. I thought that was the end of the matter, but that night, I was awakened from my sleep by a scream. When I went out, the entire Taoxiang Building had become a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and the upper and lower floors were full of dead people. Women died, men died, tea and water were served, and guests were greeted at the door. At this he paused and gasped, as if he had seen the terrible scene of the past again.
