Chapter 220: Striking the Grass and Startling the Snake
Hao Lianfeng's eyes were round, but he suddenly remembered that You Ziji was a spiritual root, and it stands to reason that he has only been born for more than a year now, and he knows some common sense, and there are many things he doesn't understand, so he patiently explained: "The Governor's Mansion is the government of Tianfu in Longzhou, which is in charge of all affairs such as government affairs, military, and people's livelihood in a state. ”
You Ziji wrote these down, "It sounds a lot bigger than the official of the county guard, Uncle Hao, what is Sima's official position?" ”
"Sima is under the jurisdiction of the governor and specializes in managing the army, you want to ask He Sima about the situation, I remember you met in Chongjun, but he tossed your friends in Zijun enough."
You Ziji hadn't heard the news from Zijun for a long time, and his face showed a little anxiety, "Daoist Yi, they are in danger?" ”
Hao Lianfeng comforted: "It's not a danger, there are a lot of troubles, but they are all things that officials must experience, and you must believe that your friends can handle it." ”
Seeing that You Ziji was uncertain, Hao Lianfeng patted his head, and some aura was injected into the You Ziji Spirit Platform, which shocked his spirit, and then reminded: "Don't think nonsense, do the current thing first." ”
Hao Lian spread out the drawings taken from De Poor, pointed to a place and said: "This is a restaurant owned by the Ji family, the name is Jufu Building, I can't see anything on the front, but I have passed by the manor on the back of the restaurant, it stands to reason that it should be the property of Jufu Building, but it is not provided to guests, but the elite of an army is stationed, looking at its atmosphere, most of the members are foundation building monks, it is very difficult, if you meet it when you track it down, you must avoid here, even give up tracking and don't provoke them, Otherwise, I may not have time to save you. ”
Zhang Xingwen was a little surprised, "Uncle Hao, what are we going to do later, it will actually alarm the army." ”
It is possible to have a conflict with the forces of Tianfu, especially the army, which is a bit exciting for the monks of any force.
Hao Lianfeng said with a smile: "I need you to go to the vicinity of Mingyue Villa to find out some news and come back, the most important thing is to find out the whereabouts of Ming Gong Ling Ming Changshi." ”
Xu was afraid that You Ziji would not know what Changshi was doing, so he added: "He is likely to be the biggest force in our negotiations with the Ji family this time." ”
Yao Yi said excitedly: "This task is good, let's go." ”
She didn't hesitate at all, as long as she got away from the mountain sect as soon as possible.
Hao Lianfeng waved his hand to signal that they could go, and when he turned his head and saw that Bao Shan was a little confused, he said, "What do you think?" ”
Bao Shan frowned and replied: "The disciple is indeed a little puzzled, since we want to investigate the history of Ming Chang, why do we still let the junior sister and junior brother go?" Such an undisguised past doesn't expose our purpose and make the other party wary. ”
Hao Lianfeng said: "It's good to let them know." ”
Bao Shan was a little puzzled at first, pondered for a moment, and suddenly realized: "Master wants Ming Changshi to retreat from the difficulty?" ”
Hao Lianfeng was a little relieved, "You can think of this to prove that you have indeed used your brains, we only know that Ming Changshi wants to be led by the Governor's Mansion or the Ming family to form a perfect cooperation chain to support possible ambitions." Let's do this to deter him and make him understand that Xuan Mingdao wants to be involved in this matter. In this way, even if we don't know the process of his plan, we can still achieve the goal of preventing them from continuing to contact the master. ”
Bao Shan said: "Master, if Ming Changshi really intends to be an enemy, then wouldn't it be possible for the junior sisters and disciples to encounter danger." ”
Hao Lianfeng said: "Of course there will be danger, so what are you still standing here for, why don't you go and protect them secretly?" ”
……
Yao Yi was bored in the mountain sect for a few days, and finally came out, like a fish in the sea, free and completely free herself, she left behind what Hao Lianfeng told her, and went shopping and playing to her heart's content. Zhang Xingwen and You Ziji followed behind their senior sister to accompany them, and after a period of time, the two of them were in a state of weakness, their steps were heavy and they didn't want to move, while Yao Yi was still full of energy, but Zhang Xingwen was suffering.
Although You Ziji was anxious about the task arranged by Hao Lianfeng, he couldn't bear to disturb Yao Yi when he saw that he was having so much fun, and as for Zhang Xingwen, he directly became Yao Yi's shelf, full of things all over his body. You Ziji really can't help Zhang Xing, he is a junior brother, Yao Yi naturally has to take care of him, so Zhang Xingwen can only suffer.
After shopping for a morning, Zhang Xingwen couldn't bear it anymore and proposed, "It's not too early, we should go and complete Master Hao's task." ”
Yao Yi puffed out her mouth and said, "Do you know where to ask?" ”
Zhang Xingwen hesitated for a long time before he could hold back a sentence, "Why don't you ask the people near Mingyue Villa?" ”
Yao Yimei's eyes rolled, "It's so obvious that you're not afraid that people will find us?" ”
Zhang Xingwen said: "That's better than hanging out here." ”
"Hanging out? You're underestimating me. Yao Yi raised her eyebrows, "I already know the situation of Mingyue Villa in my communication with the merchants. ”
Zhang Xingwen said in surprise: "When?" How did we not know? ”
"If you follow the way you go shopping, you can know that you have seen a ghost."
Zhang Xingwen hurriedly apologized, "Senior sister, don't be like me, if you get any news, let us know." ”
Yao Yi looked left and right, and saw that no pedestrians noticed this, so he whispered: "It is said that the housekeeper of Yueshan Villa is also a member of the Ming family, but it is a distant branch. This is a fat poor, this person has made a lot of oil and water, and often comes out at night to consume. ”
You Ziji's eyes lit up and said, "We can tie him up as long as we ambush him at night." ”
Zhang Xingwen slapped his thigh, "That's it, I hope to pry some useful information out of his mouth." ”
Yao Yi was speechless for a while, "You two stupid, don't you just startle the snake." ”
You Ziji and Zhang Xingwen glanced at each other and asked, "Then what should we do?" ”
They couldn't think of any other suitable way other than the most direct way of stunning and interrogating.
Yao Yi looked around again to make sure that no one was looking at them, and then said: "I heard that Na Ming Steward likes cultivation the most, but unfortunately he has no talent, if he can do what he likes, give him some sweetness, I think I can come up with a lot of information." In the evening, you will listen to my arrangement. ”
……
At night, the back door of Mingyue Villa was opened, and a middle-aged man dressed as a scribe walked out, although he looked like a scholar, but his hands were full of rings, either jade inlay, or pure gold, all of which were very valuable, but they looked very abrupt together, like a nouveau riche.
In the attic in the distance, Zhang Xingwen and You Ziji cast spells at the same time, watching the location of Steward Ming with their eyes to ensure that they could always see his location.
"Bright Moon Villa has come forward." Zhang Xingwen reminded.
Yao Yi replied, "He's finally here, confirm where he's gone, and we'll set off." ”
I saw that she was dressed as a man, dressed in a short fight, like a street showman, and You Ziji and Zhang Xingwen were also dressed similarly.
You Ziji listened to Yao Yi's instructions, and used the wind support technique to roll up a gust of wind that swept through the restaurants on both sides of the street, taking in the ears everywhere the Ming housekeeper went along the way, combined with Zhang Xingwen's divine eyes that could see through the wall, the two confirmed each other with the news they had obtained, and knew a clear address.
"Ju Lan She, Tianzi House."
"Let's go!"
Julanshe is not an ordinary place, here is a famous green building, most of them are Qing people, the most popular among people who think very highly of themselves, after all, this Jianping City is full of copper-smelling merchants, how can there be any literati and ink writers, but they are just some vassal and elegant people. But real money is, after all, the hard currency of this world, and no one will have little spare money.
Although it is a romantic place, there are many thugs on the periphery to prevent outsiders from making trouble, but how can these arrangements stop the three of Youziji.
They avoided eyeliners, climbed over the attic, and circled behind a maid, hiding their bodies all the way, and finally found the location of the Tianzi room. When they got closer, You Zi Ji was so good at hearing that he heard all the flirtatious love words in it, which gave him goosebumps.
When the three of them came to the door, the conversation in the house was still clear and audible, and You Ziji was not the only one who could hear it.
"Qingzhu, don't you still understand my intentions, as long as you nod, I will redeem you, and stay away from this place."
The man's voice was so numb that the three of them outside the door stopped involuntarily.
But I heard the female voice in the room reply: "Minglang, you also know my mind, I always want to fly away with you, but the eldest young master of the Liu family has been staring at me, and told Zhang's mother that I am only allowed to serve him alone." ”
"How can this be reasonable, his Liu family is just a third-rate force in Jianping City, and his status is probably not as good as my housekeeper, where did he get the courage to oppose me!"
The female voice hurriedly comforted: "Minglang, don't be angry, after all, he is a cultivator, how dare we deal with him here." ”
Speaking of this, Steward Ming stopped suddenly, although he could say ruthlessly that as long as he practiced, he could easily beat the kid of the Liu family down, but he didn't have the courage after all.
Yao Yi outside the door was so happy, as soon as she dozed off, someone handed her a pillow, wanting to practice, here to help you.
So she handed the two junior brothers a look, the two of them understood, pushed open the door, stepped in, and stood one left and one right, Yao Yi stepped in and stood in the middle.
The two people in the house were immediately stunned on the spot when they saw the three people who suddenly broke in, but they saw that the two of them were untidy, and half of their upper body chests were exposed. Yao Yi looked at the two of them with some disdain, and then turned her head to look at Zhang Xingwen, seeing that his face was as usual, and he didn't look at anything directly, he was very relieved in his heart, and he was inexplicably happy.
Qingzhu, the Qingqi person, seemed to finally react, and opened her mouth to shout, but she was slapped on her throat by You Ziji, and the true qi contained in her vocal cords was resisted, and she couldn't make a sound.
"You, who are you?"
Steward Ming was first scared when he saw You Ziji's palm, and then his eyes showed some yearning.
"We're here to help you."
Yao Yi imitated a man's speech in a thick voice.
"Help me?" Steward Ming looked at the young but fierce young man in front of him, and he was a little messy for a while.
Yao Yi continued: "I heard that Steward Ming wants to cultivate, so he came here to give you a big gift. ”
Hearing this, Steward Ming's eyes revealed a bit of expectation.
"How many masters might teach me?"
Yao Yi nodded without hesitation, but it made Steward Ming a little incredulous.
"Are you sure you can, other people who met me before said that they couldn't succeed."
Yao Yi said unceremoniously: "Those are mediocre people, how do you know the mysteries in cultivation." She knew that Steward Ming was hard to believe, so she wanted to directly make some success to gain Steward Ming's trust, she beckoned to Zhang Xingwen, "Come and give our Steward Ming a try." ”
Zhang Xingwen walked in front of Steward Ming, stretched out his hand and injected true qi into Steward Ming's chest with his palm.
People who don't have cultivation qualifications can't embark on the path of cultivation even if they help from the Mochizuki Realm. However, if he himself felt the existence of the True Qi, it was easy to achieve such an effect by slowly injecting the True Qi into his body.
So after Zhang Xingwen's true qi was injected into it, Steward Ming was shocked, felt the flow of true qi in his body, and sat in his mouth and muttered: "This is true qi, it's really wonderful." ”
Soon Steward Ming came back to his senses, and he said to Yao Yi Zhengse: "I can pay you as much as the master needs." ”
Yao Yi said with a smile: "Steward Ming is too anxious, for now, I just let you feel it preliminarily, and it will slowly disappear." ”
Steward Ming was shocked, this feeling was so mysterious, he couldn't give it up, he said to Yao Yi sincerely: "The master has a solution, and I will definitely repay you afterwards." ”
Yao Yi said: "I naturally have a way, those mediocre people you saw before didn't know the principle of the operation of true qi, so they told you that you can't cultivate." I have an elixir here, as long as you take it and cooperate with my treatment, you will be able to cultivate completely. ”
Speaking of this, Steward Ming retreated again, "I'd better think about it again." ”
Yao Yi knew that it was the three of them who appeared too abruptly, which made the other party a little wary, especially after examining their own value, and they were not worthy of being treated like this by others, so Steward Ming would naturally start to guess that it was probably for the person behind him.
In order to dispel his resistance, Yao Yi said: "Steward Ming, don't worry, if you can't make it into us, you won't ask for half of the remuneration." Moreover, it will take some time for the effect of this medicine to last, and you will need to go home and observe it carefully. If you know some monks, you can ask them to verify whether you can cultivate, and if you do, you don't have to worry about paying me at that time. ”
Steward Ming really relieved when he heard this, if he returned to Mingyue Villa, with the help of the masters, even if he didn't pay him, there was no way for these three people to take him.
"Then there are Laogao people."
Yao Yi nodded, and gave the pill in his hand to Steward Ming to take, and the next moment Steward Ming collapsed to the ground.
The trio succeeded in their plan, and they all smiled.
And the Qingqi man named Qingzhu was also frightened by what happened to Steward Ming and passed out.
You Ziji didn't bother to take care of her when he saw this, and helped Steward Ming to the chair and sat down with Zhang Xingwen. Yao Yi cast a spell on the side, similar to hypnosis, to wake up Steward Ming.
But he saw that the housekeeper looked confused, and obviously had not completely regained consciousness.
Yao Yi asked the puppet-like housekeeper Ming, "Do you know the whereabouts of Ming Changshi?" ”
Steward Ming made a mechanical voice, "Yes." ”
"Where does he go every day?"
"Jufu Building."
"Do what?"
"Many merchants came to him for counsel."
"Counsel?" Yao Yi was a little puzzled, obviously seeking to cooperate with the Ji family, and was also entangled with other people, could it be that she was discussing how to divide the Ji family? "What is the purpose of his here?"
"In order to celebrate the birthday of the old man of the Ji family, by the way, let's talk about the cooperation of all parties."
"How many guards are around?"
"A personal escort of ten people."
"Isn't there an army, where did they get it from?"
"Yes, yes......"
Steward Ming's voice suddenly stopped, and he couldn't jump out of a single extra word. The next moment, the shopkeeper of Ming suddenly bled and died directly in front of the three of them.
Yao Yi was clouded with a haze in her heart for some reason, and she always felt a bad premonition.
Zhang Xingwen on the side already had some thoughts, and he immediately said, "Let's get out of here quickly." ”
You Ziji asked, "Why?" ”
Zhang Xingwen said: "After just asking about the army, Steward Ming died, it's hard not to think that the two things are only related, if I think about it, I'm afraid the army will soon arrive here."
After that, he picked up Yao Yi, who was still a little stunned, jumped from the attic to the street, and ran wildly, followed by You Ziji.
Their reaction speed was already fast, but it was not enough, only the sound of breaking the air was heard, and a strict phalanx of black figures arrived here, they flew straight up and down, and their movements were very fast, obviously well-trained troops.
They separated a few people and flew up to the attic and found the Ming steward who died there, and all the actions were completed in a silent process at this time, so Ju Lanshe has not noticed anything unusual until now. In order to hide their identities, the monks of the army did not want to make a big deal out of it. And the sergeants waiting under the attic have relied on their unique spells to lock on to You Ziji and his party.
Originally, Zhang Xingwen didn't want to rely on the magic weapon to fly, so as not to be discovered by the hidden army, but who knew that the other party could directly sense the breath, and he had already rushed over to this side, and he would soon catch up, so he had to take off the sword and flee out of the city. He had to make the movement a little louder in order to attract Hao Lianfeng's rescue. As for running outside the city, of course, it was to avoid directing the troubled water to the mountain sect.
At this time, Yao Yi had already come back to her senses, her eyes flickered to one place, her frowning brows relaxed, and she said to Zhang Xingwen and You Ziji: "Senior brothers, let's go around the city and come back, no need to fly with the sword." ”
This made Zhang Xingwen's sword action immediately stop, and he asked with some puzzlement, "A pair of feet alone may not be able to outrun the pursuers." ”
Yao Yi showed a bright smile, "You just believe me, it's okay." ”
Zhang Xingwen had no choice but to do so, and it was a big deal to die with his senior sister.
You Ziji's ears moved slightly, as if he heard something, the corners of his mouth curled, and he lost his anxious mood, slowing down the pace of escape.
There was really something wrong with the corner that Yao Yi looked at just now, and there was a majestic and magnificent man out there, who was Baoshan.
As he walked to the position of the pursuers, he muttered in his mouth over and over again, "What a keen girl, you have found me several times this day." ”
Baoshan strides leisurely, it seems to be walking very slowly, but each step can directly leap several feet, and after a few takeoffs, it will block the path of the pursuers.
"Get out of the way, the Governor's Mansion Lingwei will handle the case!"
Bao Shan retorted loudly: "Ling Wei from the Governor's Mansion went to the Governor's Mansion to take charge, why do you care about me taking a walk at night?" ”
The monk who led the army was a Xuanjing monk, and he was ruthless when he saw that Baoshan was so provocative, and he was not ready to let Baoshan go. He drew his saber and slashed at Bao Shan's throat.
After all, this person is an experienced leader of elite soldiers, and the sword skills in his hands are very powerful, although simple, but even more ferocious. If it is a general sword technique, after making a move, you have already thought of the second move to use to resist the opponent's move. But the sword technique in the army is indomitable, not that his sword technique leaves no room, but it is simple and practical, and it can be done in one go, no matter how many changes are made, it will be displayed like a lightning move.
Fortunately, Bao Shan is not a mediocre hand, he lifted a sword refined by the Ji family to parry, not only bounced off the opponent's sword, but also followed the sword move to attack, gaining the upper hand.
The skills contained in the Taiqing cheats are easy to use, and they are most suitable for this kind of hand-to-hand combat. As for the other party, not only is his cultivation weaker, but although he is proficient in sword skills, he has not yet reached the level of mastery.
Bao Shan stabbed the pursuer in the chest with a sword in his hand, and when the opponent was reminded, the sword was twisted and the opponent's weapon was directly unloaded. Before they had time to be dashing, the pursuers over there had already gathered and formed a small team.
The soldiers saw that Bao Shan was in front of them, and You Ziji and the others had already run away, so they could only take down Bao Shan, who was suspected of being an accomplice, in front of them, so that they could give an account to Lord Changshi.
Seeing that the number of the other party could already form a military formation, Bao Shan did not dare to hold it up and began to retreat.
If the monks of the world talk about martial arts, no one can rely on their own strength to fight more than ten times the number of soldiers who form a military formation in close combat. But if you distance yourself and make some spells, it's different.
Bao Shan threw the flying sword into the air, directly turning into a silver dragon, shuttling through the military formation, interrupting their cooperation.
The soldiers who had just assembled were immediately disrupted and unable to exert the power of the military formation, and the silver dragon was allowed to show its teeth and claws in the ranks.
But after all, they were elite troops, and I saw them raise their swords in their hands, with a murderous aura and high morale, and they actually showed their fighting spirit. I saw that the aura on the body of a team of centaurs suddenly rose, and then combined with the sword technique to force the sword and silver dragon out.
Bao Shan suddenly thought in his heart: "If Senior Brother You is here, can he rely on his own fighting spirit to coerce the other party's fighting will, and if so, then wouldn't the other party make a wedding dress?" ”
Although he didn't know the will to fight, he could also give it a try, but he took out a war drum and beat it, and the opponent's war spirit immediately began to be disordered, and he had no stamina.
Bao Shan laughed, "Look at me to fix you well." ”
