The whole hall is built next to the cliff, the head rests on the high cliff, the feet step on the green pine, facing the first light in this world, listening to the last pine wave in the night, but it is a pity that the stone wall of this temple is too cold and hard and pitch black, just like a black sword shining with gold and iron light, under the impact of the clear and eternal atmosphere at the top of this lonely cliff, it is still like a torrent pillar abruptly born out of the forest, so few people can come, few people want to come.

"There are already results. ”

The candles in the hall flickered, bringing not only the starry light, but also the cold and biting chill. Although he had been here many times, Jiang Shangxiu was still not suitable for this kind of environment that blinded the sky but lit candles.

He was slender, standing in the center of the hall, holding a long sword in his hand, facing the old man in the black jade seat, and said in a slow voice: "Yue Jiu is dead, Mu Qing is in this situation, and the strength he showed in the end is indeed not weak. ”

"So you changed your original plan and left Mu Qing behind?"

A hoarse metallic voice came out from the shadows covered by the black robe, Jiang Shangxiu didn't dare to slack off, and seriously explained his intention to make such an arrangement: "Yue Jiu's intention to break away is firm, and he knows a little too much, and it is impossible for us to use it anymore." But Mu Qing is different, a fledgling young man, if he can survive under Yue Jiu's hands and kill the other party, I think there is still room for transformation and use, and it may be a good sword when the time comes. ”

"In the end, it turned out that this young man did have that value. ”

Jiang Shangxiu gently threw the long sword in his hand in front of the old man's seat, and a withered and pale hand quickly poked out from the black robe and caught the long sword.

"Cangchang" pulled the sword out of the sheath, Jiang Xingyuan only glanced at it, and then determined that the sword was not fake, and said softly: "It seems that Yuejiu is indeed dead, this is his saber Yuehua." How did he die?"

"The butcher said that he was poisoned to death after being stabbed into the body by Mu Qing with a short sword. ”

"Did you confirm the eyeliner?"

Jiang Shangxiu frowned and replied, "The butchers are tired of these peeps, and they don't dare to follow too closely. ”

"It seems that we need to speed up the infiltration of the core of 'Hidden Vision', which is a group of people who are good at gathering intelligence on the ground. ”

Jiang Xingyuan looked at the long sword in his hand, a sword cultivator without a sword, it didn't seem to matter so much whether he was really dead or not.

He remembered the involvement of this person with the Medicine Master Pulse, raised his head slightly, showed the gray beard on his chin, and said in a low voice, "How does the Quanfu Pulse react to this matter?"

Jiang Shangxiu raised his eyebrows, his tone was slightly relaxed, and said: "Lu Fei is still the shopkeeper of the Liuye Bookstore in Jinguancheng, it seems that the three elders are acquiescing to our actions, after all, the pharmacist line has always been the fat in his eyes." ”

Jiang Xingyuan shrank his whole body into the black robe, leaned against the black jade seat and said coldly: "Don't think that you are leading others by the nose, Chen Qing is the best at taking advantage of the situation, if it weren't for the benefits here, even if I had explained it to him before, he wouldn't have agreed." ”

The controller of the Quanfu lineage is Chen Qing, the third elder of the Hidden Valley, who is Chen Xun's brother. For more than ten years, the Willow Leaf Book Company controlled by the two brothers of the Chen family represents the attitude of the hidden valley to the world, and this attitude has changed from the original inhuman to the current eight-sided exquisite, which can be seen from the change in the mission content on the Willow Leaf Record.

Although the adjustment of Quanfu has caused Yingu's income to increase significantly in recent years, and its contribution to Yingu cannot be erased, the intentions that the two Chen Xun brothers have begun to reveal recently have made Jiang Xingyuan feel a little vigilant in his heart, and he asked Jiang Shangxiu: "What do you think of the style of acting in the Quanfu lineage?"

Jiang Shangxiu lowered his head and was silent for a moment, and said softly: "Friends can be enemies, enemies can also be friends, they seem to behave like people like money. ”

Jiang Xingyuan tapped his chin and said the doubts in his heart, "Chen Xun sent his subordinate Li Cheng to ask for a Wanhua Pill from the woman in Huaifenghua, do you know this?"

"Hmm. Jiang Shangxiu said calmly: "This Wanhua Pill finally flowed to the City Lord's Mansion, I guess it should be used for that Geng Sword." ”

Speaking of this, Jiang Shangxiu sighed: "I didn't expect this kid Mu Qing to become a poisonous cultivator without a sound, it seems that the power of this poison is not small." ”

"Do you think I'm asking you about the process? You need to know what's at stake. ”

The cold and hoarse voice echoed in the quiet hall word by word, and Jiang Xingyuan said with a little disappointment: "It seems that things are developing as you expected, and you have lost your vigilance. ”

Jiang Shangxiu was a little puzzled, raised his head and said, "Could it be that Quanfu still has two hearts? They can't be with those guys in the Hibiscus Dynasty, right? I think it's because you have too much heart, this is just a simple deal." ”

Hearing the words "father-in-law", Jiang Xingyuan's face was cold and relieved, and he shook his head and said: "Simple is not simple, from the point of view of the purpose, Geng Jian has a strong and bright personality, and he has no good impression of our Hidden Valley, Quanfu will not do this to gain his gratitude and friendship, then it will naturally fall to other places." ”

Jiang Shangxiu frowned and digested Jiang Xingyuan's judgment, and suddenly heard Jiang Xingyuan say lightly: "The head of the Tianjia stall is called Murong Xing. ”

"Murong Xing......" Jiang Shangxiu slowly whispered the name.

Because of the appearance of Geng Jian, Jiang Shangxiu had some understanding of Tianjiao, the lackey organization of the dynasty, but it was also the first time he had heard the name of their big stall leader, and at this time, he couldn't help but read it a few more times, surprised why he felt so smooth.

There was a glint in his eyes, and he exclaimed, "What does this person have to do with the Great Elder and the Valley Lord?"

"You're pretty quick to react. Jiang Xingyuan laughed hoarsely, just like the scream of the night cloud owl when it rushed towards the dark sky in the night, and the deep voice was revealed from the black robe, "Yin, Xing, Yun, these are the three brothers of the Murong family, and only qualified people knew about this matter back then, but now that more than ten years have passed, I'm afraid many people in the hidden valley don't know about it." ”

Jiang Shangxiu squinted his eyes and said, "Then father-in-law, what do you mean is that Chen Qing's connection between the Quanfu family and the Hibiscus royal family is because of this person. ”

Jiang Xingyuan shook his head and said in a low voice: "It's just that I suspect that Quanfu has opened a willow leaf bookstore in the capital of the imperial dynasty and Kyushu Prefecture, and there are only a lot more transactions with the royal family behind the scenes than in the records." There is one thing you may not know, Chen Qing supported Murong Xing to become the master of the Hidden Valley back then. ”

Jiang Shangxiu was dumbfounded for a while, the candle flame was about to burn, and the hall fell into a short silence.

"When I said this, I just want to tell you, don't think that you can rebel against the shopkeeper of a bookstore under the nose of Chen Qing, there are some things, you have me, I have you, but it depends on how to use calculations. And when it comes to conspiracy and calculation, how many people in this world can compare to Chen Qing, who can still make money safely on the knife edge?"

Jiang Shangxiu bowed down to be taught, and said with shame: "The follow-up ...... of Mu Qingyuejiu's matter"

"Since Yuejiu died at the hands of Mu Qing, the relationship between Mu Qing and Wanhua Valley will not be too close, I will give that kid another chance according to what you said, if this kid still can't be used by us, then just let him be my little apprentice's whetstone. ”

Jiang Shangxiu thought of the young man with an indifferent and arrogant face, and he was slightly unhappy in his heart, and said with a slight frown: "Senior Brother Zheng Shi, he has completed his first mission as an assassin, and now he should be back soon." ”

Jiang Xingyuan didn't pay too much attention to these things, he shook his head, looked at his nominal righteous son, and said: "Since we have achieved our goal, we have made an attempt behind the palm law line, and eliminated an unpleasant character, so as not to continue to have an ambiguous relationship with the Quanfu lineage, so as not to be too deeply implicated." ”

"What should we do if the Medicine Master First Pulse is divided and opposed when the time comes, and it is completely mastered by the First Pulse of the Quanfu?

Jiang Xingyuan was silent for a moment, his right hand, hidden under the black robe, silently poked out, picked up the Yuehua Sword and flicked it lightly, and the silver long sword was like an electric snake that cut through the low rainy night, stabbing straight in front of Jiang Shangxiu's body, and half of the sword body was pierced into the hard stone slab.

"Hmph!" Jiang Xingyuan said indifferently: "We haven't even really held the sword in our hands, so you're whimsical? Even if the outer gate of the pharmacist line is all from the Quanfu lineage, what can we do? The real core is still Huai Fenghua's mother-in-law." It is still possible for Quanfu to provoke the contradiction between her two apprentices through the death of Yue Jiu, but it is undoubtedly a fool's dream to control the pharmacist in front of that woman by provoking division and suppressing this method. ”

"This matter is far from being as simple as you think, although the death of Yuejiu is a tacit agreement between us and the Quanfu lineage, but this matter is only the beginning, after this, there must be other means to target the pharmacist lineage one after another, although I am not comfortable with that mother-in-law's arrogant and independent attitude of the hidden valley, but I will not directly collude with external forces to target their own people. ”

"Let's calm down for now......"

......

......

In the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers, there have been more fireworks in recent days.

Zhang Shaoyao was walking at the front of a group of people, and the pills on her head were stirring up and down with her brisk steps.

They are a group of five people, or delicate and smart, or young and beautiful, or bright and beautiful, all of them are beauties.

There is still some distance from the Ancestral Hall, and Zhang Shaoyao is even more excited than the party Bai Jiahe today, because the inheritance of their master is divided according to the time when they are written into the ancestral hall's pedigree, that is to say, she will soon have a junior sister who is a few years older than her.

Thinking that in the future, someone would take care of many things such as taking care of the medicine garden and collecting and releasing medicinal materials, and someone would share it for him, Zhang Shaoyao couldn't wait to pull Bai Jiahe and fly directly to the ancestral hall.

Passing through a perennial area shrouded in spiritual mist, Zhang Shaoyao pointed to the slope of the sloping stone hill not far ahead, turned around, and said with a smile: "This square stone slope is planted with black knotweed, they like to epiphysis on the stone skin, you don't look short, but full of clouds and rain and dew in our Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers, full of heaven and earth aura at the same time, but also absorb enough sun and moon essence." Senior sister, you have eaten Huanqing Dan in the main ingredient of it. Senior Sister Jiahe, have you remembered? Senior Sister Ning Chu is busy, you can help Senior Sister and me take care of these places in the future. ”

Bai Jiahe looked helpless, but he couldn't hate Zhao Shaoyao, and said with a smile: "Got it." ”

Huai Fenghua just liked this little apprentice of herself, she stepped forward lightly, pinched Zhang Peony's tender face, and said angrily: "Why are you going so fast, it's almost time to the ancestral hall, your uncle is still behind you, don't be so rude." ”

Huai Caoshi shook her head and said softly: "It's okay, besides, after Jiahe enters the ancestral hall inheritance spectrum, it is indeed time to call Xiao Peony as a senior sister, in she has not practiced the Ten Thousand Flowers Heart Sutra, in the future practice, Peony as a senior sister can patiently guide your junior sister." ”

"No problem!" Zhang Shaoyao looked mature and steady, and did enough etiquette seriously, thinking that she hadn't taught anyone yet, she hurriedly looked at Ning Chu, who was walking at the back of everyone, and pulled her as a companion and said, "Senior sister will also help at that time, senior sister is much more experienced than me." ”

"Hmm. Ning Chu's nasal voice was slightly light, and he reluctantly smiled in response to everyone's gaze.

Huai Fenghua frowned slightly, and was the first to notice the strangeness of his eldest apprentice.

Ning Chu was independent and quiet, and at this moment he was obviously a little more worried than before, Huai Fenghua thought that the other party had gone to an outer door steward not long ago, and couldn't help but have a slight twinkle in his eyes.
