Chapter 436: Discuss countermeasures
Xiao Yan didn't expect that she had said so much, but Feiyun was indifferent. She naturally wanted to leave Feiyun and the others behind, but she didn't want to completely turn her face with Feiyun right now. If Xiao Yan really wanted to forcibly leave Feiyun and the two of them, she would inevitably fight. With the martial arts of Feiyun and the others, whether they are left behind or killed in the end, Fengtang will definitely suffer heavy losses.
Xiao Yan was unwilling to cause heavy losses because of this matter. Besides, if she does this, the people in the rivers and lakes will know about it, and I am afraid that they will be very disgusted with Feng Tang. In the future, it will be even more difficult to win the trust of these Jianghu people. Maybe it will also cause the Central Plains martial arts to deal with each other, after all, it is said that Feiyun has a close relationship with the beggar gang recently, and he has also made friends with many martial arts masters in the capital.
Xiao Yan thought for a while, and then said: "Young heroes are famous all over the world, how dare we be rude and offended?" I will send you back, and I ask you to think carefully about what I have said. If you figure it out and are willing to join us, you can go to the Lotus Inn at any time, and we are waiting for you. Of course, it doesn't matter if the two of you don't figure it out for a while. I'm sure the young man will soon figure it out, and our doors will always be open for you. Of course, as a young man, he will naturally not betray us in exchange for glory and wealth. ”
Feiyun knew that Xiao Yan was afraid that he would denounce them, but he didn't know if he could do it, so he pretended not to understand, and said, "In that case, thank you Miss Xiao." Leave! Feiyun hugged his fists, pulled Tianxiang and walked out.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan said to Huang Dan: "Senior sister, please send the two distinguished guests back!" Huang Dan, who had already stood aside, walked over and nodded in agreement.
Huang Dan turned around, caught up with Feiyun and the two, and said, "Please go out with me!" ”
Feiyun and Tianxiang hurriedly arched their hands towards Huang Dan and said, "Thank you!" He followed her out of the hall. Soon came to the outside of the villa, only to see that the yellow tiger was still waiting there.
Huang Dan stared at Feiyun with pretty eyes and said, "Lin Shaoxia, if our hall master says, please go back and think about it carefully." Xiaomei hopes that you can join us, and we can see each other often and be together every day! ”
Tianxiang said very unhappily: "If you talk like this, I can't let him come over, lest he fall for your beauty trick and become a ghost under the flowers." ”
Huang Dan smiled and said, "Miss Tianxiang, do you have no confidence in yourself, or do you have no confidence in him?" In fact, I know that when it comes to beauty, only our hall master can compare with you. But don't worry, our hall master is above the top, and he will definitely not look down on a man like you, the eldest brother! ”
Tianxiang's face turned red, and she said loudly: "It's not a matter of faith, it's just that I'm worried that you will use three indiscriminate means." She doesn't look down on my eldest brother, and my eldest brother naturally won't take her seriously! ”
Feiyun saw that the two of them were bickering again, and hurriedly interrupted their boring jealousy, and said, "Sister Tianxiang, stop talking nonsense!" Let's leave as soon as possible, otherwise we'll have to travel at night. Tianxiang didn't say anything more, jumped into the carriage, and jumped into the carriage.
Feiyun bowed to Huang Dan and immediately got into the car. Huang Dan turned to Huang Hu and said, "Ah Hu, it's still up to you to send them back!" In addition, I went back to the inn and greeted my eldest brother on my behalf. Huang Hu agreed and jumped into the carriage. At this time, Feiyun and Tianxiang had already sat in the carriage. Huang Hu bowed to Huang Dan and immediately raised his whip, and the carriage immediately galloped forward.
Soon after, the carriage carried the three back to the door of the Lotus Inn. Huang Hu parked the carriage and said to Feiyun and Tianxiang in the carriage: "The two distinguished guests have returned to the inn, please get off!" ”
Feiyun and Tianxiang heard the sound, and hurriedly jumped out of the carriage, and the two of them arched their hands towards Huang Hu and said, "Thank you, Brother Ah Hu!" We won't go into the inn, so we'll leave it at that. Please tell the shopkeeper on our behalf that the green mountains will not change, the green water will flow forever, and we will see you again another day. ”
After Feiyun and Tianxiang finished speaking, they turned around and left. At this time, the shopkeeper Huang had also come outside, and when he saw that Feiyun and the two had just taken a few steps, he hurriedly shouted: "Two guest officers, let's leave after eating!" ”
Feiyun didn't look back, and replied loudly: "You're welcome, Shopkeeper Huang, we'll have a date later!" After speaking, He Tianxiang strode forward.
At dusk, Feiyun and the two returned to Xiangxi Commercial Bank. Duan Qing followed them and invited the two into the back hall to talk. Feiyun asked, "Second brother, have the second sister and third sister come back?" As soon as the words fell, I heard someone behind the screen respond in a coquettish voice: "Big brother, we have already returned!" Then two shadows flashed from behind, which were good days and beautiful scenery.
It turned out that Feiyun had long thought of Huang Yuxian's people, and he would definitely not let them see the way in and out. Therefore, he consulted with Liangchen and let Liangchen and Meijing secretly follow behind. One is to prevent accidents, and the other is to find out the way in and out. Liangchen is smart and clever, and the matter of tracking is handed over to her, so Feiyun is of course relieved. Good days and beautiful scenery are secretly tracking, and ordinary people will definitely not be able to find them.
The result was exactly as Feiyun expected, Feiyun and Tianxiang were sitting in a sealed sedan chair, although they could see some light, they couldn't see the outside situation at all, and naturally they couldn't distinguish the path. Liangchen and Meijing followed Feiyun's carriage until they entered the Lotus Villa, and Huang Hu, who was driving the carriage, did not notice it at all. Liangchen and the beautiful scenery carefully looked around, and then returned the same way, and then went directly back to the trading house.
Liangchen continued: "Don't worry, big brother, we have already found out. The villa is in the middle of the mountains, and it is very secretive indeed. If it weren't for someone to lead the way, it wouldn't be easy to find. What did you see when you went in? ”
Feiyun briefly recounted the experience, and said: "I estimate that there are at least one or two hundred people in it, and there are only four real masters who have seen them so far: Xiao Yan, Huang Dan, Caixia, and Rainbow, and it is difficult to say whether there are other masters." These four people alone are not easy to deal with. No one's martial arts are below you, Xiao Yan and Huang Dan should be even more powerful. ”
Liangchen thought for a while and asked, "Big brother, have you seen the five Xia Feng?" ”
Feiyun shook his head and said, "No, I also think it's a little strange. Why don't they have any news at all? Have you been poisoned by them? ”
Tianxiang shook her head and said, "Don't worry, big brother, I don't think so." If they encounter a siege, with the strength of the five of them, even if they can't get out of danger, at least one of them will fight their way out of the siege. Especially the Xia Feng brothers, his internal strength is profound, his swordsmanship is exquisite, and he has a sword in his hand, it is definitely not easy to trap him. Besides, before they set off, I also told them that in case of distress, I must ensure that one person can get out of trouble and come back to report the news. We didn't find any signs of a fight with them just now. ”
Liangchen was also relieved: "Sister Tianxiang is right. If there is an accident, with the personalities of Xia Feng, Liu Shui and Lin Feng, Xiang'er and Qingxiang will definitely not be harmed. I think they must have been arranged by Xiao Yan to be in a place to investigate. Big brother, don't worry. ”
Tianxiang continued, "Now that we know their lair, we can think about how to exterminate them. As long as we act quickly, if we launch an attack on them within these two days, we will definitely be able to catch them by surprise and annihilate them in one fell swoop. Otherwise, there are many dreams at night, and if the five of Xia Feng are trapped for a long time, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not show flaws! ”
Tianxiang pondered for a moment and said, "But with our strength, I'm afraid it's not enough to deal with them." ”
Duan Qing hurriedly said: "Big brother, I think it's better to invite some fellow people in the rivers and lakes to fight the enemy with us." Once you've discovered their lair, all that's left is for the Joz. If you agree, you can let our people from the firm go with you. Or directly inform the government and let them send someone to exterminate it. How to behave, please decide! ”
After Duan Qing finished speaking, he looked at Feiyun. From his heart, he naturally hoped to find the government to send troops, and he didn't want any accidents to happen to Feiyun and the others. As soon as he heard Feiyun say just now, he knew that the other party was strong and not easy to deal with. Duan Qing and Feiyun are sworn brothers, and of course they don't want Feiyun to have an accident.
Liangchen, beautiful scenery and Tianxiang hesitated, and no one answered for a while. Seeing this, Feiyun knew that they were reluctant. After all, they don't like Wu Zetian very much, so they are naturally unwilling to contribute to Wu Zetian. Tianxiang and the three of them felt awkward in their hearts, and it was inevitable.
Liu Shui said: "I think so, let's not mix with people in the government." I'll go back and tell the prince about the situation, and ask him to send someone to kill him. With Li Yu and the others cooperating inside, the officials and soldiers should be able to easily destroy this White Lotus Sect. But we can follow secretly, and if they go well, we won't show up. If things are really tricky, we'll see how things go. We can't leave them there. As soon as the war began, we would take advantage of the chaos to sneak in. Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think? ”
Liu Shui didn't want to embarrass Hanxiang too much, and he didn't want to force her to do something reluctant, so he had to come up with this compromise solution. When Hanxiang heard this, she was overjoyed and said, "That's a good idea." I think it's doable. Hongying thought about it for a while and felt that in this way, it was completely in her own hands whether she could make a move, so she said that she had no objection. As soon as they expressed their position, Shopkeeper Zhou naturally had no opinion. Liu Shui was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked everyone.
Hanxiang said: "Shui'er, you go and tell the prince and ask him to send troops." With the cooperation of Li Yu and them, I believe that they will be able to succeed immediately. "Li Yuhe has always been with Liu E, and he is very familiar with the prince, Zhang Ze and the prince's guards, so naturally there is no problem. Liu Shui nodded, stood up, and was about to leave. Hanxiang hurriedly said: "The water is slow." I have a map here, which I drew when I first returned, and you can take it with him to His Royal Highness the Prince, and he will know the route at a glance. ”
Hanxiang said as she handed Liu Shui a piece of white cloth. Liu Shui took it and spread it out on the table to take a closer look. Hanxiang looked at the map again and explained it in detail. After Liu Shui understood clearly, he put the picture away, put it in his arms, and said to Hongying: "Ying'er, or you accompany me to see the prince, okay?" ”
Hanxiang smiled on the side: "Naturally, she will accompany you, do you need to talk about this?" There are too many women around you, I don't worry! In the future, if there are no special circumstances, you must be by Ying'er's side. Hongying's face turned red, and she said coquettishly: "Auntie, you are making fun of me again!" Liu Shui smiled: "Auntie, don't worry." There are three thousand weak water, and I only love those scoops, and I won't want to drink them all. When we are free, let's accompany my aunt to practice. ”
Liu Shui said the word "practice" very seriously, and another pair of bright eyes stared at Hanxiang. Hanxiang's face turned slightly red, and she said softly: "Even if you still have a little conscience, just remember." It's getting late, so go quickly, and don't lose time. The sooner the troops were dispatched, Li Yu would have less risk. ”
Liu Shui nodded in agreement, then bowed his hand, and turned around and walked out of the hall with Hongying. The two came outside the house, mentioned light work, and ran all the way, and soon arrived at the old house of the Zhang family. The doorman saw Liu Shui and Hongying from a distance, and hurriedly went in to make a statement. When the two of them came to the hall, Zhao Yuankan and Liu E were already waiting inside.
It turned out that as soon as Liu Shui and the others left the house in the morning, Liu E asked the flowers to go to the East Palace, and quietly told the prince about Liu Shui's plan, and it was estimated that Liu Shui would have a clear result when he came back in the evening. Liu E asked him to come over at night and wait for Liu Shui's news together. When Zhao Yuankan saw Zhao Guangyi today, he was scolded again. When Zhao Yuankan was at a loss, he was naturally overjoyed to learn such good news. When dusk came, they hurried over.
Liu Shui and Hongying stepped forward to bow to Zhao Yuankan. Hongying met Zhao Yuankan for the first time, and Liu Shui specially introduced Hongying to him. Zhao Yuankan had already heard Liu E talk about Hongying, and after a closer look, it turned out to be a dignified, elegant and delicate young orphan girl.
Zhao Yuankan nodded and said, "I have long heard that Shui'er has set a family affair in Taoyuan, and the glamorous county lord has exaggerated your beauty, virtue and wisdom more than once, above her. When I saw it today, it really deserved its name. I was in a hurry to come back today, and I didn't prepare a meeting gift, so I had to make up for it another day. ”
Hongying hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a good reputation. The county lord's sister is also exaggerating, how dare I compare with her. His Royal Highness and Mrs. do not dislike me for being vulgar, and I am already grateful for being able to serve Brother Shui, so why do I need any gifts. Your Highness, the matter is urgent, please get down to business! ”
Liu E continued: "Yes, yes. Shui'er and Hongying are not outsiders, and they are at home, so there is no need to be so polite. Sit down and have a cup of tea. At this time, the clouds and flowers served tea and stood behind Liu E. Zhao Yuankan waited for the two to sit down, took a sip of tea, and then asked, "Shui'er, have you gained anything from what you did today?" Liu Shui said: "Your Highness, aunt, today Ying'er and I have arrived at the main altar of the Lotus Sect and found out the location of the main altar. There were quite a few people inside, estimated at two or three hundred. ”
Zhao Yuankan was overjoyed and said, "Fortunately, I didn't expect to have such a definite news so soon." Who are they? Liu Shui said: "Listening to the tone of the so-called sect leader, I'm afraid it's going to rebel." As for the origin of these people, there is really no way to know. I've fought against two of them, and I can't tell which faction's martial arts path it is. ”
Liu Shui told Zhao Yuankan and Liu E what had happened, but omitted the words to evaluate the imperial court. He didn't want to make the scene embarrassing.
