This anti-flute consumed Lu Yunxiang a lot of internal force, Wang Qin immediately gathered his strength to gather dust, waved his fist to disperse the dust, Lu Yunxiang made the flute in his mouth, a song "broken soul" that is, disturbed Wang Qin, so that he had no intention of waving his strength, the dust was scattered, only to feel that his head was dazzled, and his soul flew out of the sky.

The palm force hit the platform, turned into a remnant and dispersed, Lu Yunxiang returned to the palm from the air, Wang Qin continued to avoid the palm, the power of the ear was not broken, and the two were deadlocked.

After a while, Lu Yunxiang suddenly swayed his right palm, and the flute that came to his mouth was suddenly divided into two, and then from two to four, the five fingers trembled, the four flutes played in unison, and the power of the flute soul quadrupled.

Wang Qin stabilized his mind in a trance, used all his internal strength to suppress his soul, sweated profusely on his forehead, and his eyes flowed goldenly, but he did not become dizzy and unconscious.

Lu Yunxiang controlled the flute music, but he didn't know that Wang Qin's internal qi was so strong, and suddenly the flute was divided into eight, four flutes, four flutes were empty, and the flute was waved to Wang Qin.

Injured on the ground outside the flying platform, Lu Yunxiang collected the flute and stood on the stage, and all the disciples of Songjiang rushed over to help Wang Qin, Wang Qin pushed everyone angrily, and wanted to return to the stage to compete with him, but he was injured and exhausted, and he could no longer move his body, so he had to sit on the wooden chair with everyone.

Li Yan came to the stage and preached: "Songjiang is against the jade flute, and the jade flute wins." ”

The guests cheered in unison, the jade flutes came to the stage to hug Lu Yunxiang, Wang Qin hated his teeth and shook his sleeves, so that the disciples helped themselves back to the stack, unwilling to witness the victory, Li Yan sent the shallow water disciples to the wine inn to prepare for the banquet, all the guests of the faction sat on the chair and raised the tea to worship the jade flute Qingyao Guan Lord a cup, Lu Yunxiang got up and returned to the cup, and after a while the inn walked out of the store with the wine and food, and the heads of each other drank each other, because they had to fight against it tomorrow, so they only drank a few glasses, and each went back to the stack to prepare for the army.

In the east stack, the Jade Flute Gang female disciples gathered in the wide room, Lin Xuxin said: "I said that the Songjiang faction is full of rats, look at my Jade Flute with two enemies and three, and frustrate Songjiang, it is really relieving." Lin Jing said: "It's not your work, look at you so happy as if you have eaten honey." ”

Lu Yunqi said on the side: "This time it is all thanks to my sister's work, but the head of the family has not arrived, what is the use of the jade flute winning over the factions?" Lin Jing said: "The head has not yet arrived, if my jade flute is better than the factions, then Yun Xiang will take over the position of the head of the sect." Lu Yunxiang said: "It's too early to say now. Lin Xu said: "Lord Yunxiang, what is your work today, so you ask who can be the enemy?" Lu Yunqi said: "The Ye head of the Ye Yun faction has defeated the Ten Thousand Daomen Sect and advocated Yansheng, Zhang Yansheng has dominated the rivers and lakes for many years, and he is invincible with ten thousand swords. Lin Xu said: "Sister Yunqi, can you really increase the momentum of others and destroy your own prestige, how many years have Ye Yun Sect created the sect? That Ten Thousand Daomen didn't meet me back then, how could Ye Ji take the turn to do the way for Tianxing?" Lu Yunqi said: "Then let me ask you, can you be better than Xu Qing, Zhao Ru, and Fu Zhen?"

Lin Xu hurriedly bowed his head and said nothing, Lu Yunxiang said: "Okay, I'm a little tired today, let's go back to the house to rest." ”

The women did as they were told, and went out of the house and went to bed without questioning.

Jiangdong Que Palace, the long night covered with water, but said that Ye Qiu, the daughter of Ye Yun faction, left Que to the shore, looked for a day, entered the inn to rest at night, got up on the day to continue to appreciate, listened to the play and watched the tea, watched the miscellaneous play, and saw that it was getting late, so he looked for an inn to rest.

Looking for a wooden table to sit down and see the store companions smiling, asking why the food is needed, Ye Qiu casually asked for a few side dishes, a pot of sake, the shop companion Nuo should go away, Ye Qiu put the scabbard on the table, the surrounding passenger flow is scarce, only rely on the table on the left side of the door to talk.

While waiting for the food, Ye Qiu listened attentively, and seemed to be the one who said: "A few brothers, do you know that there has been a lot less passenger flow on the shore these days?" Another person said: "Yes, I don't know if it is because of the news that the imperial court will send a large army to conquer in Jiang Xinque, everyone is panicked and hurriedly flees." Another person said: "No, no, no, those lost travelers are an old friend of mine, my old friend's family lives in Hanging Town, only dozens of miles away from here, if you want to flee south, why is the family still there, and looking for people everywhere, obviously lost traces." ”

Several people were frightened for a while, all of them didn't know why, all kinds of speculations and guesses, Ye Qiu also sat and thought for a long time, until the store companion came to serve the food, those guests had paid the silver out of the stack, Ye Qiu picked up the chopsticks and picked up the vegetables, poured the lamp and drank, but the mind was the loss of travelers, seeing the shopkeeper go away, he immediately called him over, and the shopkeeper came to listen, Ye Qiu said: "Little brother, do you know that there are many travelers lost around this riverbank?"

The shopkeeper's face changed suddenly when he heard this, and he wanted to leave, but Ye Qiu pulled his sleeve hard, put some gold ingots in his palm and said softly: "Little brother, if you quietly tell me the reason, I will have another reward, and others will never know that the news comes from your stack." ”

The shopkeeper was afraid, and when he saw that there was no one in the stack, he went to the door and closed the door, and returned to Ye Qiu's side and said softly: "The small one is also a random guess, and the imperial army is afraid that it is not far from here." ”

Ye Qiu was startled, and hurriedly asked, "How do you know that the imperial army is not far away?" The shopkeeper said: "The little one naturally doesn't know, but those lost travelers who have not returned home for many days must have been secretly killed." Then he said: "Those people must have seen the traces of the army, and they inevitably leaked the news, so they were secretly killed, and this group of heroes and high-rollers in the heart of the river must not be able to get out of the riverside." ”

Ye Qiu was stunned for a moment, and the shopkeeper hurriedly said: "Girl, the little one has told you everything, you can't let others know." ”

Ye Qiu took out a few ingots of gold from his bosom and handed them to the shopkeeper, who took the money and walked away, and after just a few steps, he turned back and said, "Girl, leave quickly, otherwise the little one can't guarantee anything." ”

Ye Qiu nodded slightly, sat in the chair and pondered, if he really said like the shopkeeper, he should inform the customers in Quezhong as soon as possible, but if the shopkeeper is sensational, or if he spreads rumors on someone else's errand, wouldn't it be his way, and he will fall into a false name, and he will live in the heart of the river for many days, and I don't know if the passenger flow on the shore is really scarce.

After thinking about it again, I finally settled down and decided to investigate it myself, so I hurriedly eaten, got up and pushed the door out of the stack, and went into the surrounding towns to see, sure enough, the streets were sparsely populated, and it was lively when it was too late, it seemed that there was a lack of people on the riverbank, and the shops, teahouses, pawnshops, and workshops were all cold and indifferent.

Ye Qiu looked tasteless, so he walked a few more steps, secretly knowing that he couldn't find anything like this, as Fang Cai's shopkeeper said, those lost travelers should have noticed some unknown secrets, and there was no trace of them being searched around by their families.

If you don't want people to know about it, then you will be able to find out the clues when you go by night.

And think back to the inn in the guest said, the missing trace of the person at home hanging town, if you can go to dozens of miles away from the hanging town to explore, you will be able to know some reason, so step to find the tea house that used to store brown horses here, the horse is all over the place, enough to do a moment, then to the entrance of the town, see the town gate has been closed, the town wall is not high, a light jump can climb over the wall, so stop the horse in the distant pine forest, alone to the hidden place of the town, with the ears to hear whether there is a sound behind the door, but only listen to the snoring sound of sleep, Silai is now late at night, the town keeper must have been unable to stand the body and sleep peacefully at the door。

Therefore, he jumped up lightly, went to the top of the town to peek under the wall, and as expected, no one was sober, and he planned to fly down to the stone road, and when he looked back, he saw nothing different, and immediately walked away.

He was still far away from the city gate, so he looked around, shopped, workshops, teahouses, taverns, closed one by one, only to see a tangle hall with bright lights, and entered the hall to inquire about something, the shop companion saw Ye Qiu slightly stunned, and looked at his words and said: "Is the girl coming to my shop to stay overnight?" Ye Qiu replied: "Yes, can there be a spare house?" The shop companion said: "Yes, but it is too late, the girl is so resting, can you not go out of the stack to walk, the wind in the town has been tight recently, be careful of catching a cold." Ye Qiu said: "You don't have to make excuses, I have heard a lot when I came, so you can tell me what you know, so that I can die of wandering out of the stack." ”

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and said after a pause: "Girl, do you know that there is a shortage of people on the riverbank?" There have been a lot of people in my small inn for a few days, but the flow of people is quite sparse these days, and many family members have come to the inn to look for people at the beginning, and no one has inquired since yesterday. Ye Qiu hurriedly said: "Then in your opinion, what is the reason?" The shopkeeper replied: "According to the villain's opinion, when the imperial army has come closer, and some tourists have discovered their traces, they are captured, detained or secretly killed, so as not to leak the news." Ye Qiu said: "You are consistent with what the little brother of the Liu Family Inn, it seems that the situation is urgent, and you must be cautious." The shopkeeper said: "The war is coming, and this small restaurant may have to be closed sooner." ”

Ye Qiu went upstairs into the house to rest temporarily, it was late at the right time, it was not suitable to go out of the stack to investigate just in the light night, Ye Qiu crouched at the window, heard all directions, looked at the streets and alleys everywhere, but there was no trace, peeking down at three o'clock, still did not find the moving shadow, leaned out of the window under the plan, the transport capacity started to the eaves, walked quickly, turned over the roof of the building, and after two hours, still did not notice.

Then he looked at it at will, and saw a piece of torch in the distance, the torch was lined up, moving the shadow step by step, jumping close to the dark place of the locust wood, peeking at the figure under the row of torches, dressed like armor, wearing an iron helmet, pretending to be blue, holding a spear, and looking solemn.

Shocked to turn back to the wood, anxious to think that it must be the imperial army, see the endless, neat pace, is to do something, and then show your eyes carefully, the army is out of the south gate of the town, a hundred miles away from the south gate, is the east bank of the river.

Counting the fingers and counting in his mouth, the number of marches was three thousand, and when he thought about the hour, he would definitely arrive at the garrison on the east bank at about five o'clock.
