Ye Suiyun and Li Xiangqiu infiltrated Shengye Fang, which was different from other ordinary market squares, only a huge courtyard, high walls and deep gates, and everywhere were guarded Tiance soldiers. Under the cover of night, the two had come to the vicinity of the main building, and found a group of soldiers passing in front of them, so they had to stop and wait. Although Li Xiangqiu advocated visiting in person, Ye Suiyun somehow, although Leng Xiaoxiao had a great friendship with him, but this matter had a complicated relationship, and he didn't want him to be involved in it. Waiting for the guards to walk by, Ye Suiyun jumped to the window and saw the situation inside, Leng Xiaoxiao was talking to the three officers, and the clothes of several people were also subordinates of Tiance Mansion, and there was no one else.

Ye and Li shook their heads at each other, and they were going to look elsewhere. Who knew that as soon as he moved, Leng Xiaoxiao here had already noticed it, and shouted: "Who dares to break into Tiance Mansion at night." ”

The two of them outside were stunned, and Li Xiangqiu immediately made a decision and said, "I'll lure him away." With that, he jumped on the ridge and disappeared into the darkness. Leng Xiaoxiao followed up and went to the roof, and shouted to the people below: "Divide the left and right sides." Send someone to Lingyun Pavilion to protect the handsome. After saying that, he chased after him.

Not far from the main building, there was a faint candlelight in the attic on the second floor of Lingyun Pavilion, and a middle-aged man in a simple white robe was reading a book at night. There was a sound of hurried footsteps going upstairs and stopped outside the door. The middle-aged man still looked at the book and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The person outside the door said: "Dashuai, there are assassins who have broken into the mansion, General Leng has already gone to chase after him, let us listen to the Dashuai's dispatch." ”

That middle-aged man was the commander of the Tiance Mansion who had been demoted by the emperor and thought about it behind closed doors, and Li Chengen, the general who protected the country. After hearing this, Li Chengen only said lightly: "No one can see it clearly, don't rush to call the assassin." I'm fine here, you guys go. A few people outside the door replied respectfully: "Yes." So he went downstairs.

When the guards walked away, Li Chengen said, "Come in." There was silence outside the house for a while, and there was a soft click, and someone jumped down from a height, pushed the door open, and a young man dressed in black stood in the doorway. Li Chengen's eyes were calm, and after seeing it clearly, he asked, "Who are you?" ”

The man said: "Ye Suiyun." It turned out that Ye Suiyun was worried about how to find Li Chengen, and when he heard Leng Xiaoxiao's order, he was overjoyed, so he secretly followed a few guard officers to find Lingyun Pavilion. Finally saw Li Chengen, but felt that the famous Tiance Marshal in front of him was not very old, but as if he was just in his early forties, his face was peaceful, and he did not have the murderous aura of a military person on Qin Yiyan's body. Ye Suiyun didn't know where to start, so he simply got straight to the point and explained his identity.

Li Chengen's calm face finally had a hint of shock, but then calmed down, took a long breath, and nodded: "Since the day I heard about your identity, I knew that you would definitely come. Come on in. ”

Ye Suiyun asked, "I came to you just to ask one thing." ”

Li Chengen stretched out his hand to interrupt him and said, "You don't have to worry, sit down, and I will tell you everything." ”

Ye Suiyun sat down according to his words, thought for a while, and asked, "Why are you willing to help me." ”

Li Chengen said: "Why not? You're not a bad person. Besides, you're still a little friend. As he spoke, he took out another teacup from the cabinet next to him, poured Ye Suiyun a cup of tea, and said, "You ask." ”

Ye Suiyun asked, "Is my father dead?" ”

Li Chengen hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't know."

Ye Suiyun's heart was beating wildly, and Li Chengen said: "At least until he was taken away by Assasin, he was still alive." ”

"Assasin? Cardinal Master. Ye Suiyun said.

Li Chengen nodded and said, "Yes, it's him." ”

Ye Suiyun asked, "What happened back then?" ”

Li Chengen recalled: "I was ordered by the emperor to lead another seventeen commanders, and then Li Linfu, who was still serving in the Criminal Department, pursued Nie Xiaotian. When I came to the foot of the mountain, I found that a large number of other people were already waiting, and it seemed that these people had been contacted by Li Linfu. Originally, I didn't care, but I was a little dissatisfied in my heart, we were ordered by the emperor to cooperate with Li Linfu's action, but he didn't even say hello, and went to contact a group of people from the rivers and lakes. But after thinking about it, in the Imperial City, the eighteen of us can't defeat Nie Xiaotian together, and he should go to find some help. ”

Ye Suiyun said: "Assasin is among them?" ”

"It's not just him, when some of them are greeting each other, intentionally or unintentionally revealing their identities, I was surprised to find that almost all of the people present are first-class players who have become famous in the martial arts. The other dozen or so commanders were in Gyeonggi and did not hear about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, so it was not surprising. But as a native of Tiance Mansion, I have naturally heard of the names of these people. It's just that I was still inexperienced at that time, and before that, I had only heard of most of them by name, but I had not seen them. Another thing that puzzles me is why these people are all here in the same place, when they are supposed to be scattered. Li Chengen said: "I was still strange at that time, I couldn't figure out how Li Linfu could get acquainted with so many people in such a short period of time, and it was not until recent years that I realized that from earlier times, he had begun to contact outlaws outside the DPRK, cultivate his own forces, and accumulate strength for future conspiracies." ”

"And then?" Ye Suiyun asked.

"After going up the mountain, I learned that in addition to Nie Xiaotian, there was also Tuoba Sinan, who was known as the Sword Saint in the rivers and lakes." Speaking of this, Li Chengen stopped, sighed, and seemed to be in deep thought, Ye Suiyun didn't dare to interrupt him, and waited quietly.

After a while, Li Chengen finally said: "Tianzi Peak is a fierce battle, and the battle is only dark. As far as I could see, no less than 100 people died on the spot. There were corpses all over the ground, and the surrounding rocks were covered in blood and stumps. That is still fresh in my mind today. The corners of Li Chengen's mouth seemed to tremble slightly, and he said to Ye Suiyun: "On that day on the Son of Heaven Peak, your father joined forces with the Sword Saint and almost slaughtered hundreds of elite-level masters, and there were less than two out of ten survivors. But two fists are hard to beat four hands, in the end, they are also human beings, and after three days of fierce fighting, they were finally exhausted and defeated. After that, he sighed again, as if he was feeling sorry for Nie Xiaotian.

Although Ye Suiyun hadn't seen this battle twenty years ago, he seemed to be able to feel the thrill of Li Chengen's description, and he asked: "I can't figure it out, since these people are all martial arts heroes who dominate one side, why would they obey Li Linfu's orders, and even risk their lives to deal with my father." ”

Li Chengen said: "They are not obeying Li Linfu's orders, but they have their own ghosts and plans. Most of them are heading for the void. There are still a few who must have received the benefits promised by Li Linfu, or if they have any secret agreements, I don't know. He has always been on guard against Tiance Mansion, and he doesn't leak a word in front of me. ”

Ye Suiyun remembered the plan he overheard about the Yuwen brothers in the White Emperor City, and said, "You guessed right, if that Yuwen brother is not for the sake of emptiness. Li Chengen said: "What do you mean by this? Ye Suiyun secretly trained the army under the cover of the Yuwen brothers, so as to cooperate with Li Linfu's move, and planned to get Li's support to restore the former Sui State after the matter was completed, and explained in detail the plan to divide the land with the Tang Dynasty.

Li Chengen's expression was solemn and said: "Li Linfu really did everything for his ambitions. ”

Ye Suiyun didn't care, and only asked, "What happened to my father?" ”

Li Chengen said: "At that time, your father and the Sword Saint were both seriously injured, and your father was even more conspired by the person who used the poison and was unconscious. Ye Suiyun hurriedly said: "What? ”

Li Chengen said: "Don't worry, Li Linfu didn't get his wish. Because at that time, Tuoba Sinan held on to his injured body, and said to someone in the place that he was willing to exchange the sword book he created for Nie Xiaotian's life. Ye Suiyun couldn't help but say: "Autumn rain sword spectrum." Li Chengen nodded: "Not bad." He added: "At that time, there were more than a dozen people who survived, except for Li Linfu, all of whom were martial arts practitioners, and this time they were willing to give up their lives to fight for the void and the underworld. But seeing Tuoba Sinan's meaning, he didn't carry the sword book with him, and even if he killed him, he wouldn't be able to grab a move and a half. If you want a sword spectrum, you must not hurt Nie Xiaotian's life. Ye Suiyun listened, and in addition to his reverence for the Sword Saint in the past, he added three points of gratitude in his heart.

Li Chengen said: "It's a pity that Li Linfu is not unfamiliar with any swordsmanship secrets, and insists on killing Nie Xiaotian." And to make it clear, if Nie Xiaotian doesn't die, once he recovers, whoever is sure to resist the people present will probably not be able to survive by then. The rest of the people are also old rivers and lakes, and they know that he is reasonable, so they no longer oppose it. Among them, someone proposed to cut off Nie Xiaotian's tendons and tendons, and abolish his martial arts without death, Tuoba Sinan only sneered when he heard it, and stopped talking. Everyone understands that this method is not feasible either. Considering Nie Xiaotian's future counterattack, everyone had no choice but to agree. It's better not to get the secret than to lose your life. In the end, Assasin stood up and said that he wanted to take Nie Xiaotian away, and he had a way not to hurt his life or abolish his martial arts. And it is guaranteed that he will not appear again in the future. ”

Ye Suiyun asked hatefully, "What way?" ”

Li Chengen shook his head and said, "I don't know, Tuoba Sinan also asked." Assasin replied: "Although this seat is not a member of the Central Plains martial arts, it is also the respect of a religion. Tuoba Sinan didn't ask much, but said, "I will send the sword book to you." Then he got up and left. ”

Ye Suiyunqi said: "You just let him go like this?" ”

Li Chengen said: "Our task is to arrest Nie Xiaotian, but everyone knows that this cannot be done. To deal with a person like your father, either kill or release, otherwise with his courage and martial arts, it is impossible to arrest him safely. After three days of fighting with him, I finally saw that there was such a hero in this world, and deep down I didn't want such a supreme person to die in vain, so Assasin took him away, which to some extent helped me complete the task. As for Tuoba Sinan, it was not in the plan, and it was better for him to leave. In addition, at that time, everyone else was seriously injured, although he knew that he was also in poor condition, but after just experiencing a battle in Shura's hell, no one was willing to gamble their lives to stop it. Besides, those people didn't go all the way, they all fought on their own, and no one came forward. ”

At this point, Ye Suiyun finally understood why the Qiuyu Sword Spectrum was in Assasin's hands, and what happened later, Wei Qiwu stole the Sword Spectrum, and Assasin chased him all the way to the Tiger Prison Pass and injured him, but unexpectedly, Wei had already transferred the Sword Spectrum to Dai Shi at that time. Assasin couldn't find him, so he didn't dare to kill Wei Qiwu, so he had to detain him in the nearest Tiger Prison. This is why Wei Qiwu was seriously injured and detained there.

Ye Suiyun took out the 'Autumn Rain Sword Spectrum' from his arms and looked at it in a daze, and finally understood why he said that it belonged to him when he handed it over to himself, presumably Wei Qiwu had figured out the origin when he was in prison, but he didn't explain it at the time. This sword book saved my father's life twenty years ago, tossed and turned, and now it is in his own hands, and the causal coincidence is too magical. Thinking of the fact that he was captured in the Tiger Prison at night many years ago, and he met Wei Qiwu in prison, he couldn't help but feel like a world away.

Li Chengen didn't expect him to take out the sword book casually, and while he was surprised, he sighed: "However, there is a providence in the dark." "I don't ask much about the reasons for this. Ye Suiyun put away the sword book and said, "Li Dashuai, I still have one last question, why did the emperor and Li Linfu deal with my father?" ”

Li Chengen said: "After Nie Xiaotian broke into the imperial city alone, Li Linfu was the most active in the court, and he repeatedly instigated the emperor to arrest him, and the emperor naturally agreed to let him lead the case. In the process of following him, there are many doubts that I still can't think of, Li Linfu is not a martial arts practitioner, and he has never shown any interest in the sword spectrum, but he is crazy to search for the void. It shows that his target is not Nie Xiaotian, but it just happens that this book is in Nie Xiaotian's hands. In addition, one thing is certain, under the guise of handling cases, he openly and openly got acquainted with countless forces in the rivers and lakes, without being suspected by the emperor. ”

Ye Suiyun thought for a while and said, "Xu is that he wants to be empty, not for himself. "I said this because I thought of those cardinals I saw in the Tibetan Sword Villa back then, and they lost their lives to steal the Autumn Rain Technique, wasn't it also for Assasin. Now that I think about it, Assasin must have tried every means to get the autumn rain trick in order to cooperate with the autumn rain sword technique in his hand.

Li Chengen's eyes lit up and seemed to be reasonable. Ye Suiyun finally asked, "What about the emperor?" What is his grudge against my father? ”

Li Chengen sighed and said: "If there is a person who can enter and leave the palace as he wants, treat the palace guards as nothing, not only kill the chief eunuch beside you, but also kidnap your sister, what do you think the emperor should think?" ”
