Chapter 17: Qingyunmen's reaction
As the night passed, the warm sun turned into a howling cold wind, and the grass and trees were full of silvery frost.
It's snowing!
The three cloaked men hurriedly walked into the Qingyun Gate and into the council chamber.
The person who took the lead took off his cloak and shook off the wind and snow, revealing an elegant face, which was none other than Mo Qingshan, the head of Qingyun.
The other two also showed their true colors, it was Cheng Qianshan, the Great Elder of the Inner Gate, and Xu You, the Great Elder of the Outer Gate.
"The traces of the thieves were so clean that we rushed to the ground several times, and I thought it was fake news for us, just to hold us back. ”
The Great Elder of the Outer Gate, Xu You, opened the conversation.
Cheng Qianshan also looked at him: "Lao Xu is right, they are by no means ordinary bandits and horse thieves, it seems to have fallen from the sky, they appeared too deliberately, I think someone is targeting us Qingyunmen." ”
"There is also the news of the Tongshan Mine, even those disciples who have been selected do not know it, only the elders and the relatives can understand the truth and truth.
If that group of thieves can stop the three elders so accurately, someone must have reported that there must be a traitor in our door!
If the traitor can't be caught, not only will we not be able to get the 50,000 taels back, but we may lose 50,000 taels next time. ”
Xu You said worriedly.
Cheng Qianshan nodded in agreement: "That's right, thousands of precautions, thieves are difficult to prevent, in order to enhance our strength over the years, we have received a lot of personnel from unknown sources, and now it seems that after all, it will do more harm than good!"
Although we had expected it, in recent years, we have established the Qingyun Martial Arts Pavilion, selecting the best from the best, and the origin of the character is trustworthy.
It's a pity that there is still too little time after all, otherwise when the new generation grows up, others will not have the opportunity to mix sand. ”
Xu You said: "Lao Cheng, you are in charge of the Law Enforcement Hall, this is your scope of work, is it possible that you have not gained anything after so long?"
Cheng Qianshan shook his head with a wry smile: "How can it be so easy, we have been carrying out the screening work, and we have eliminated many people with ulterior motives, but now there is no one who can lurk down."
It's useless to just catch some small fish and shrimp out, so it's better to keep them so that you can catch big fish in the future. ”
Xu You sighed when he heard this: "Hey, it will be the centennial of our Qingyunmen soon, which is related to the next ten years of our Qingyunmen's plans, so that Qingyunmen can really go out of Qingyun County and make a voice to the entire Nanyue County."
Now that this is happening, I think it's a bad omen.
As...... Is it okay to postpone it?"
Cheng Qianshan became emotional when he heard this, he shook his head violently and said:
"The plan must not be changed, Qingyun ten years was originally planned by us, we have waited so long, isn't it just for that day.
The plan will be aborted at the slightest accident, when will Qingyun raise his head.
The humiliation of that day, I hope you will forget, I will never forget!
We don't have the next decade to wait!
I will never allow myself to lie in a coffin with that shame!"
Xu You was brought into memory by Cheng Qianshan's words.
When Qingyun opened the gate of heaven with a sword, he led Qingyunmen to become the tyrant of Qingyun in one fell swoop, and also found the copper mountain silver mine, and the future is promising, and everyone is full of spirit for this.
It wasn't until they Qingyunmen received an invitation from the Nanyue sect world to participate in the martial arts meeting that belonged exclusively to the martial arts people of the four counties of Linbian.
As a result, he went away with excitement and returned with defeat.
That is, since that year, the head of Qingyun has lived in a simple place, and Qingyunmen has acted in a low-key manner, but secretly recruited people from the rivers and lakes, and his strength has swelled up like a balloon.
Don't look at the fact that Qingyunmen is now shrinking in Qingyun County, in fact, its strength has long exceeded the limit of one county.
In order to make a splash, he slapped some people in the face once for the ridicule of the year.
And the centenary of Qingyunmen's birth is when their plan officially begins, and on that day they will announce to the entire Nanyue:
Qingyun people are never weaker than others!
Xu You knew that Cheng Qianshan's thin body contained volcanic power, and he couldn't persuade him, so he looked at the master.
Mo Qingshan pondered for a moment, and sighed: "What Elder Xu said is polite, Qingyunmen has been cautious for more than ten years, and it must not make a mistake at the end, but ......"
"Senior Brother Cheng's sentence is even more correct, we don't have the next ten years!"
"I have been handed over to Qingyun all my life, and my greatest wish is to see Qingyunmen stand proudly in the Nanyue Sect Realm, my strength has reached the limit, and since then, there has been no retreat.
If you wait any longer, this and your wish will have to be handed over to the next one.
But will the next one be able to lead Qingyunmen to continue?"
"So the plan can't be changed, the theft of 50,000 taels of silver has involved too much of our energy, and this matter will be put aside for the time being from today, and all our energy will be put into the upcoming centennial anniversary.
Those disciples who have been released are also time to be recalled, Elder Xu, this matter still needs a lot of hard work.
Senior Brother Cheng, there is no need to keep those rats in the sect, clean the house before you can welcome the guests, and don't let outsiders see the jokes. ”
"Do what the boss orders. ”
Cheng Qianshan and Xu You both bowed down to receive the order.
......
Inner kitchen compound.
Jiang Ping stood in the courtyard, stretched out his hand to take a snowflake, felt the coldness melt at his fingertips, and couldn't help but sigh a little, as if the scene of those disciples practicing martial arts in the square under the scorching sun was still yesterday.
Before he knew it, he had been through it for almost a year.
The New Year is approaching, Qingyunmen is a lot deserted, and it is also a lot of celebration, and many places have changed into red clothes.
The cheap second uncle took advantage of the rare vacation to go down the mountain to reunite with his wife and children, but he chose to stay.
One is that there must be no shortage of people in the kitchen, and many elders and heads are still on the mountain, so they can't be starved.
There is one of the most important reasons, Jiang Ping doesn't know how to face Ergouzi's family, he doesn't know whether Ergouzi is dead or alive, he takes the identity of someone else, and then shares the love that originally belonged to him, Jiang Ping feels that he can't do it.
Hypocrisy is hypocrisy.
Jiang Ping stood against the light snow, watching the sky from far to near, becoming clean and white little by little, and even his heart was empty.
"Oh, Ergouzi, are you stupid?"
Suddenly, the laughter of silver bells came from the gate of the courtyard.
Cheng Lin'er was wearing a red dress, a fluffy hat on her head, and two small balls on both sides of the brim, which was very playful.
She stood in the doorway, covering her little mouth and giggling.
Jiang Ping had a smile on his face and said strangely:
"Why are you here? Didn't you say the day before yesterday that you were going down the mountain today to celebrate the New Year with your grandfather?"
Cheng Lin'er snorted:
"My dad hasn't come back yet, and my mother and I are waiting for him. ”
Cheng Lin'er's index finger and thumb were close together, and she gestured a little bit.
"But I thought that you didn't go down the mountain this year, and that you were alone, which sounded so pitiful, so I reluctantly took a little time to spend with you, just a little bit.
Now it seems that I was right, you see, you are about to become a little snowman, if I don't come, you will have to freeze into an ice sculpture.
When I come up the mountain next year, you will not be a second dog, but a frozen dog. ”
"I've said so much, you haven't entered the house yet, do you want me to accompany you to become a frozen dog?"
Cheng Lin'er wrinkled playfully.
"Oh, please come in, please come in......"
Jiang Ping patted the snowflakes, bowed down and stretched out his hand, making a gesture to welcome the guests of the inn.
"Giggles, look at your stupid ......"
"Haha......"
Jiang Ping also laughed.
At least at the moment, he was happy.
