Chapter Twenty-Six: Open Struggle and Secret Fighting

99

Let's say that Long Zixi slept beautifully in the cave, woke up, and saw that the sky outside the cave was dark, and it was time for dinner.

So he got up, packed up, and said to the horse:

"Brother Ma, I have to work on you again, we have to go to Camel Dongzhuang to see if we can find the whereabouts of the sword spectrum."

As if he understood, the horse arched Long Zixi with his mouth, got up with a bone, shook his head, and made two "bursts" sounds.

When we came down from the mountain, it was completely dark.

Long Zixi quietly approached the camel Dongzhuang, and saw the light flashing in the village, and said in his heart, the main gate must be guarded.

Since he had come, the path was not born, so he turned to the back of the village, got off the horse, patted the horse's neck, let it wait for him, and gently slipped to the root of the wall.

Leaning on the wall and listening to no movement, Long Zixi gently jumped on the courtyard wall, covered by a big tree, and peeked into the courtyard.

I saw figures swaying at both ends of the courtyard.

Heart, this Young Master Yin must have strengthened his precautions because he got the "Open Heaven Sword Spectrum".

After thinking about it, he gently broke off a section of dead branches and threw it at the foot of the wall on the left, making a "flutter" sound.

The man who was guarding the neighborhood said, "Who?" So I went over and checked.

The person on the other side also hurriedly ran over and asked:

"What's going on?"

Taking advantage of this moment, Long Zixi jumped to the roof early, but because of his outstanding skills, he didn't make a sound at all.

The two of them saw that there was nothing, and each returned to his original position.

Long Zixi happened to be lying on top of the house facing the gate.

He gently poked a small hole in the roof with the tip of his sword, and when he looked closer, he saw three people in the room.

A twenty-three or four-year-old man, with a handsome face and an extraordinary bearing.

The other two were a little older, but they were very respectful to the young man.

Just listen to the young man:

"Where do you say, where will the master go?"

A Path:

The people at the Pepsi Shun Inn said that the master and Mr. Pei were still eating tea there in the morning, and then went to the back mountain and never met again. I don't know where I went. ”

Another way:

"After the old man fell ill, he went to the Pepsi Shun Inn the most, and rarely went to other places."

The young man's tone was anxious:

"I'm just afraid that the thief will be bad for the master."

A Path:

"Young master, don't worry, many people in the martial arts are looking for that thief now, and it won't be so easy for him to come here."

Another way:

"With the protection of Mr. Pei, it generally doesn't matter."

The young man didn't speak again for a long time, but kept sighing.

Long Zixi said in his heart, that young man must be Young Master Yin Qiuyin, and he is really a filial son.

But the young man said,

"Send more people overnight to continue the search, and if you encounter suspicious people, you should check more."

Two people:

"Yes!"

Long Zixi said in his heart: What happened to Yin Jifu and Pei Zhen?

was lying on the room eavesdropping, and suddenly heard the voice of people at the gate of the compound, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw that five or six people had entered the courtyard.

At this time, the two people in the house had just stepped out of the door, and when they saw this, they shouted:

"Who?"

I heard the reply from the visitor:

"Is it Deputy Chief Qi? The subordinates met the subordinates of Taiyuan Ji Daxia, and they had important things to report. ”

When the young man in the house heard this, he said:

"Come on in!"

Several people entered the house.

I saw a man salute the young man, and said:

"This person claimed to be a subordinate of Taiyuan Ji Daxia, and said that he had something important to tell the young master."

The young man said:

"Oh, what's the matter?"

I saw another person take a step forward, clasped his fists, and said:

"Below is the slaughter armor under the Taiyuan Ji hero. Ji Daxia asked me to invite Young Master Yin, and asked the young master to meet at Shiliping Station immediately. ”

Young Master Yin said:

"Has Ji Daxia arrived? Why don't you come to the village? What's next? ”

Long Zixi said in his heart, this plan has just come here to wait for the rabbit to come.

But he listened to the man,

"Ji Daxia said, the young master doesn't need to ask more, go and know yourself."

Young Master Yin groaned undecided.

Deputy Chief Qi Chong Tu Jia said:

"Your family manager has a big shelf, isn't it good for him to come to the village? It is not that we do not have good wine and good meat to entertain him. ”

Tu Jia Dao:

"This master is not strange, the head of Ji said, just because this matter is very important, but it is inconvenient to come to the village."

Another humane:

"The young master is going, and his subordinates will order a few good hands to go together."

Young Master Yin nodded and said:

"In that case, let's go for a while."

Deputy Chief Qi went out and shouted to the two guards outside:

"You two come here, go with the young master!"

The two men who were guarding the two corners of the house ran over.

A few people went out and got on their horses and ran to the Shiliping Post Station.

Long Zixi's heart moved, jumped out of the room, jumped out of the wall, got on the horse and came later.

100

The Shiliping Post Station is about twenty miles away from Camel Dongzhuang.

Long Zixi followed those people from a distance, and after a while, he saw a pavilion in the moonlight, with a few torches flashing underneath.

In order not to be discovered, Long Zixi went down the right road at a long distance from the pavilion.

Next to it is the endless sorghum land, which makes a "rustling" sound in the autumn wind, which is just a natural barrier.

Long Zixi lay on his horse, clinging to the sorghum and quietly moving forward, and actually caught up with Young Master Yin and his group.

Seeing that about a stone's throw away from the pavilion, the dragon dismounted, hid the horse in the field, touched it lightly, and lay down in the grass under the pavilion.

Young Master Yin and his party also just arrived.

First heard Young Master Yin's voice:

"I don't know if the hero has arrived, the little nephew has missed the distance, I hope to pray for forgiveness!"

Someone laughed and said:

"Young Master Yin is polite."

Listening to the voice is none other than Ji Gang.

Young Master Yin said:

"Why did Ji Daxia ask his little nephew to come here to meet?"

Ji Gangdao:

"I didn't go to the village to see the young master, but there was a reason."

Young Master Yin said:

"I want to hear about it."

Ji Gangdao:

"If it's just a few of us, we will naturally go to the village. However, if you take Master Yin with you, it won't be very convenient, right? ”

Young Master Yin was obviously surprised:

"The hero is saying, home, father?"

Ji Gang smiled:

"Exactly."

Young Master Yin asked anxiously:

"He, his old man, where is he now?"

Ji Gangdao:

"Young master, don't worry. Master Yin stayed in a good place, and he was afraid that he had fallen asleep at this time. ”

After a while, I heard Young Master Yin ask:

"Dare to ask Ji Daxia, how did you meet your father?"

Ji Gangdao:

"It's a coincidence that we rescued Ling Zun from the thief surnamed Long."

Long Zixi was puzzled when he heard it, from my hands?

Young Master Yin was also quite surprised:

"From the hands of that thief in Long Zixi? Did you catch him? ”

That Ji Gang's tone was very regrettable:

"We only saved Master Yin, but let the thief escape again."

Young Master Yin felt a sense of pity, but asked:

"Then, what about Mr. Pei?"

Ji Gang sighed:

"Mr. Pei has been victimized by that thief!"

Young Master Yin let out an "ah", but did not speak again for a while.

Long Zixi was also shocked and angry, it seems that the plan is just going to make that trick to blame others!

Just listen to Ji Gangdao:

"I know that the young master may not believe it. Here's what to show the young master. ”

Long Zixi raised his head slightly, and saw a person next to him handing Young Master Yin something.

The light was too dim, but I couldn't see what it was.

After a while, only one person was heard:

"That's right, it's Manager Qin's clothes. There's blood on it! ”

Long Zi Xixin said, Pei Zhen is dead?

This plan is just insidious, and it is actually to blame me!

I only heard Young Master Yin mutter:

"I don't know, I don't know how they met that thief?"

Ji Gangdao:

"We heard from the people of the Baishishun Inn that Pei Zhen accompanied Master Yin to have tea there in the morning, and then went to the back mountain of Camel Beizhuang.

According to the analysis below, it was there that they met the thief surnamed Long.

"Mr. Pei obviously died in a fight, and Master Yin was sick and couldn't resist the enemy, so he was naturally succeeded by that thief."

That Young Master Yin was obviously extremely angry, and said fiercely:

"Little thief, I am inseparable from you. If I don't kill the thief, I'll be in vain! ”

Long Zixi said in his heart, but this Young Master Yin also made the mistakes I made before, and I only listened to people's words, so I believed it to be true.

Listen to another man:

"So, where did Ji Daxia save the master, and does Manager Pei have a body?"

Tingji just replied:

"Deputy Chief Manager Qi asked well. We met a thief on the way to the Jin Kingdom thirty miles away.

"By the way, he also has an accomplice, who seems to be surnamed Hua.

"When we rescued Master Yin, Master Yin always held this dress in his hand. When I asked him anything, he didn't know anything.

"We went to the back mountain of Camel Beizhuang to look for it, but we didn't find the body of Mr. Pei.

"According to the head of Ben, either the thief has done a trace, or the place where he killed Chief Pei may not be there."

Long Zi said in his heart, this big lie is also made up.

It's just that he didn't know that I had branched out with Brother Hua, saying that it was the two of us, but he couldn't give him full marks.

I only heard Young Master Yin say:

"I'll talk about Mr. Pei's affairs later, but I want to thank Ji Daxia for saving my father, please accept the next bow!"

Ji Gang stretched out his hand to stop:

"Young Master, you don't have to be polite. Yin Zhuang has been friends with Zai Xia for many years, how can he see death and not save him? ”

Young Master Yin said:

"That being the case, Da En did not dare to say thanks. Tonight, I will send someone to meet my father. ”

Ji Gang said:

"Young master, don't worry! There is one sentence that cannot be left unsaid. ”

Young Master Yin shook his eyes and said:

"If the hero has something to say, please speak, as long as the little nephew can do it, everything will be followed."

I only heard Ji Gang's "hehe" twice, and said slowly:

"Young Master Yin, it's not taking advantage of the fire to rob.

"We have a group of more than 50 people, and in the past few months, we have traveled three or five thousand miles, all for the Yin family, but we have had great hardship."

Young Master Yin said:

"This little nephew knows that tomorrow he will send someone to send a heavy gift to thank him."

Long Zixi thought to himself, it turned out that this plan was not only insidious, but also greedy for money.

But he listened to Ji Gang:

"Alas, where does the young master want to go? has been friends with Master Yin for many years, and it is his duty to be able to help him, but how can he salivate and ask for money? ”

Young Master Yin said:

"A little money, what's the point. So, I don't know what the hero means? ”

Ji Gang smiled:

"Young Master Yin, you said that whoever can catch that thief will give the sword spectrum to whom, right?"

Young Master Yin said:

"Yes. The little nephew will never break his word. ”

Ji Gangdao:

"So, Ling Zun's life is worth more than that thief, right?"

Young Master Yin shook his eyes and said:

"That'...... That's nature. ”

Ji Gangdao:

"In that case, it is more important for me to save Ling Zun's life from the thief than to catch the thief, but is it also?"

Young Master Yin said:

"That's a good point. But ......"

Long Zixi already understood when he heard this: that Ji Gang originally wanted a sword spectrum!

Xindao: This person turned out to be as greedy and cunning as that Yin Jifu!

They must have caught Yin Jifu, but they said that they snatched it from me, which not only increased the bargaining chips for the sword score, but also blamed me, which is really hateful!

That Young Master Yin obviously understood, and his tone suddenly changed:

"Ji Daxia, you don't want to use your father as a hostage to blackmail your little nephew!?"

Ji Gang laughed, and the laughter sounded terrifying in the quiet night.

Just listen to Ji Gangdao:

"The young master is serious, what 'quality', what 'coercion', it's really hard to hear.

"We're a fair deal, an equivalent exchange.

"Oh, no, no, it's not an equal exchange, Master Yin is an earl, and his life is very precious.

"That sword spectrum, how to say it is a sword spectrum, whether you can practice the open heaven sword technique or not has to be said, it is obvious that you are suffering a loss.

"However, for the sake of having intersected with Ling Zun for many years, I don't care so much about it!"

Long Zixi scolded in his heart: This Ji Gang was shameless on the ground, but he felt more hateful than the head of Tianshan Mu.

I only heard Young Master Yin say:

"Ji Daxia, I saved my father, and the little nephew is grateful, and the little nephew wants all the belongings of the little nephew, and the little nephew will not hesitate.

"It's just that you want to get the sword spectrum, but it's unreasonable, you can't."

Ji Gang sneered:

"I know that Young Master Yin is still reluctant to use the sword spectrum.

"Alas, it seems that this time I had to go back empty-handed.

"Then welcome the young master to Taiyuan as a guest. But hopefully, the sooner the better.

"The young master also understands that many people are very concerned about Master Yin, and they don't dare to ensure the safety of his old man all the time."

Young Master Yin was obviously suppressing his anger:

"Ji Daxia, my father used to treat him well, but my father was just sick, and he turned his face and didn't recognize anyone, isn't it too fast?"

Ji Gang sighed and said:

"This section is Young Master Yin's own miscalculation.

"You think that the sword book is wanted by everyone, and you tell everyone that the sword book is here, isn't this asking for danger? This is no wonder to others.

"It's better to hand over the sword spectrum to the head of this family, not only will your Yin family no longer be in danger, but also, if you concentrate on serving the master, maybe the master can live for a few more years."

Young Master Yin snorted and said:

"It was my revenge and my knowledge that I was far from being the thief's opponent that made this decision. I just didn't expect that some people, hmph, would be so mean! ”

Ji Gang shook his head:

"Young Master Yin, why bother? For this sword spectrum, dozens of lives have been injured on the rivers and lakes, does the young master still want to pay for the master's life? ”

Young Master Yin pondered for a long time, sighed, and said:

"Come on, I'll give you the sword book tomorrow."

Ji Gang smiled:

"Okay, this head knows that Young Master Yin is well aware of things and will not even care about Master Yin's life.

"Tomorrow, you bring the sword book and go to Yuefeng Restaurant in the small town south of Baocheng to find me.

"But you don't have to bring too many people, and you don't have to be too anxious to come tonight.

"Otherwise, hehe, if something goes wrong, you can blame Hugh."

Long Zi Xixin said, this plan is too cunning!

He was afraid that Young Master Yin would attack him tonight, and he was afraid that he would bring too many people tomorrow, so he pointed it out in advance, obviously telling Young Master Yin that he had made preparations in advance, so that Young Master Yin would not dare to act rashly.

Listen to Young Master Yin:

"Don't worry, the little nephew will do everything according to Your Excellency's orders."

After speaking, he said goodbye twice.

Young Master Yin and his entourage returned to Camel Dongzhuang, but Ji Gang and his entourage went to Baocheng.

Long Zixi waited for the two sides to go away and stood up from the grass, but he couldn't make up his mind for a while, who should he follow?

After thinking about it, I decided to go back to Camel Dongzhuang.

Maybe tomorrow Young Master Yin will really hand over the sword spectrum to Ji Gang, then, the sword spectrum will be prepared tonight.

As long as you see the sword book, you may wait for the opportunity to grab it.

I made up my mind at the moment and came to Camel Dongzhuang again.

This time, Long Zixi came directly to Zhuanghou.

101

Seeing that there was no movement around, he went up to the wall lightly, but found that the Zhuang Ding on both sides of the house was no longer there, so he gently jumped on the roof again and peeked in through the small hole.

I saw that there were seven or eight people in the room, and Young Master Yin was scolding:

"Phew, this wolf-hearted dog-lung Ji Gang. I'm going to kill him!" ”

Qi Vice Chief Pipeline:

"Does the young master really want to hand over the sword book to that dog thief?"

Young Master Yin smiled coldly:

"Young Master Ben asked him to steal chickens, and he couldn't do it, and he would eat rice!"

Long Zixi said in his heart, I don't expect Young Master Yin to give in easily, it seems that the two sides have to fight.

Listen to that Young Master Yin again:

"Tomorrow, I will send out all the good players in the village and ambush around Yuefeng Restaurant, but when I see the house moving, we will attack together.

"Deputy Chief Qi has twenty of the best martial arts, and he is specifically responsible for saving the master."

Next, a detailed deployment was made.

Long Zixi saw that Young Master Yin was deployed, so he sent everyone away, thought about it in the house for a while, and also went to the back hall to rest.

From beginning to end, there was no mention of the sword spectrum, and I was disappointed.

Thinking about it, he went back to the cave.

102

The next day, Long Zixi came to Yuefeng Restaurant early.

Seeing that there were a lot of idle people around, he knew that it must be an ambush arranged by Young Master Yin, so he remained silent, touched his beard, and entered the restaurant.

Except for a few guests in the restaurant, there was nothing abnormal in the restaurant, and I didn't see Ji Gang and the others, so I felt strange in my heart.

I drank two cups of tea, but it was three poles in the morning, and about the end of the morning, I heard the sound of horses' hooves.

Then as soon as the door of the store opened, Young Master Yin led five or six of his men in.

The group was also a little surprised to see that there were few people in the store.

At this moment, two people came down from upstairs, one of them was Ji Gang's subordinate who went to Camel Dongzhuang that night to deliver the letter, named Tu Jia.

That Tu Jia hugged his fist at Young Master Yin:

"Young Master Yin, the Ji Gang Master is afraid that the ill-intentioned people will be unfavorable to Lord Lingzun, so he has already protected Master Yin and gone to Taiyuan last night.

"Ji Gang Master left a message before leaving, if Young Master Yin is really sincere, he will ask Young Master to go to Taiyuan for a while. When I arrived in Taiyuan, I did it as agreed.

"As for Master Yin's side, although the young master can rest assured, he will help the supervisor ensure that he is not missing a single hair."

When Young Master Yin heard this, his face changed greatly.

Deputy Chief Qi was even more angry:

"I didn't expect that Ji Daxia had no integrity and actually teased my young master, hum!"

Long Zi said in his heart, this plan is really powerful.

He must have expected that Young Master Yin would not be able to redeem his father with the sword book sincerely, on the contrary, he would definitely do everything possible to deal with him, so he simply attacked first and left.

When he leaves, Young Master Yin will come to Taiyuan no matter what.

And when it comes to his territory in Taiyuan, naturally everything will take the initiative.

I can't help but secretly admire the plan just came.

Tu Jia said again:

"If Young Master Yin intends to go to Taiyuan, the villain should lead the way, and the villain should be responsible for all the arrangements on the road."

Young Master Yin's face was displeased, but he was helpless, and said in a deep voice:

"In that case, Young Master Rong Ben will go back and prepare for a while. We'll be here early tomorrow morning, and we'll set off together. ”

After speaking, Young Master Yin led people away.

The two men also turned back and went upstairs again.

Long Zixi said in his heart, this is a bit troublesome, there is no way, so I have to follow them to Taiyuan.

It's just that I have to make a plan for Brother Hua.

Thinking of this, he returned the tea money, left the restaurant, and came to Baocheng on horseback.
