Chapter 49: Operation Huanglong (3)
Then Zhang Yifan quickly left Tuntianju, and while it was still early, he didn't plan to go back immediately. The Chunxiao Residence that Chen Sheng checked was not far from where he was, and Zhang Yifan decided to go and take a look.
Soon he came to the vicinity of Chunxiaoju, and under the use of induction, he couldn't help but be shocked, there was not a single guard around, and there were only two people in the house!
"Not good!"
Under induction, Zhang Yifan found that Chen Sheng actually fainted in Chunxiao's house, and there was a person next to him in his house.
Regardless of whether it would be exposed, Zhang Yifan quickly ran towards the house.
At this time, a horse-faced man in the room was holding a sword in one hand and searching for something in Chen Sheng's arms with the other.
"Stop!" Zhang Yifan called at the man.
The man then stopped his movements and looked at Zhang Yifan, the corners of his mouth seemed to be smiling.
"Your Excellency is here late at night, isn't it? Unfortunately, the host is not here. The man said.
"Who are you?" asked Zhang Yifan.
"In Xia Ling Mountain Sword Sect Xu Ping, are you also a thief who came here to steal things? Before, this little guy wanted to sneak attack me with Ecstasy, but unfortunately I saw through it, and I was stunned instead, you see I didn't kill him, I'm a kind person. Why don't you take down your mask, you and I will be honest with each other, and tell me the purpose of this, and I can spare your life as I see fit, just leave one hand and one foot. The man named Xu Ping said casually.
"Your Excellency is not small, let my friend go first. Zhang Yifan said.
"You can take it, I didn't threaten you. ”
When Zhang Yifan heard this, he quickly pulled out the Xuantie Heavy Hammer and walked towards Chen Sheng. Just as Zhang Yifan was about to check if Chen Sheng was still sick, his ears heard the sound of the sword coming out of its sheath.
Bell! Block!
Zhang Yifan quickly took Xu Ping's three-style sword move.
"Your Excellency's martial arts are good, and you can actually catch the first three of my Lingshan Thunder Thirteen Styles, it seems that you are not unknown. Xu Ping said with some surprise.
"But no one can save anyone from me. Xu Ping's anger flashed, his sword was like thunder, and suddenly the house was full of sword shadows, attacking Zhang Yifan.
After Zhang Yifan resisted a few moves, he found that the opponent's sword was getting faster and faster, and it was becoming more and more difficult to resist, and at the same time, he also remembered the roaring thunder in his ears.
With a click, Zhang Yifan found that his Xuantie heavy mace was actually split by the other party's sword!
"Haha, it seems that Your Excellency's weapon is not very good, my Lingxiu Sword was forged by Ou Yezi, and dying under this sword does not humiliate Your Excellency. "Xu Ping couldn't attack for a long time before, and he had a murderous intent, anyway, he had a living mouth, which was enough to make a difference.
"You talk a lot of nonsense!" Zhang Yifan ran the Flying Heaven Gong to open the distance first, and then decided not to hide his strength anymore and fight quickly, otherwise the longer the time drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for him.
"Come!" Zhang Yifan then summoned the Demon Suppression and attacked Xu Ping.
Xu Ping watched Zhang Yifan take out a weapon out of thin air, dumbfounded, and then very frightened.
"Who is Your Excellency, is it an immortal cultivator?" Xu Ping suddenly asked in a shrill voice, obviously a little frightened, the masters at their level more or less knew some rumors of immortal cultivators, and looking at Xu Ping's performance, he also knew something.
With a spark blow, Xu Ping's Lingxiu sword was broken in response, and then a trick drilled the dragon, and before Xu Ping could calm down to dodge, he was pierced through the chest by Fu Mo's sword, and he couldn't die anymore.
Originally, Xu Ping, as a master of the quasi-grandmaster realm, was actually almost the same as Zhang Yifan's martial arts, even if he was defeated, he would not lose his life quickly, but obviously he was so afraid of immortal cultivators that half of his strength was not exerted.
Zhang Yifan stepped forward to check Chen Sheng's body and found that he was still breathing and pulsating, still alive, and he was relieved.
Then he quickly searched the house in Xia Chunxiao's residence, and he didn't find the account book, but found another account book, which seemed to be the account exchange between the Lingshan Sword Sect and Jia Jin, which was also a harvest.
It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, Zhang Yifan took Chen Sheng a detoxification pill and then took him to leave Chunxiaoju together, as for Xu Ping's corpse, he had no time to take care of it at this time, so he had to let him stay where he was.
Zhang Yifan returned to the periphery of Jiafu to meet Zhou Haohai and other people who were receiving him outside, and Chen Sheng had also woken up at this time. After everyone saw Zhang Yifan and the two come back, they were also relieved.
After Chen Sheng woke up, he knew what was happening later, and immediately solemnly stepped forward to give a salute to thank Zhang Yifan for saving his life.
At this time, Guihuaji had not yet returned, Zhou Haohai asked Zhang Yifan about their situation inside, and Zhang Yifan told the truth. When they heard that Zhang Yifan killed a swordsman named Xu Ping and then searched out an account book of Jia Jin and Lingshan Sect, everyone's eyes were about to come out, obviously they didn't expect to meet Xu Ping.
"No wonder I didn't fight in front of me, I planted it, it turned out that I met Xu Ping, so it makes sense. Chen Sheng said to himself, a little abruptly.
"Xiao Fan, did you really kill Xu Ping? from the Lingshan Sword Sect?" Zhou Haohai asked again with some disbelief.
"Yes, Brother Zhou, he said his name is Xu Ping and he is from the Lingshan Sword Sect. What's wrong?" Zhang Yifan was a little surprised by everyone's reaction.
"Yifan, you are really amazing! Do you know, Xu Ping is one of the top ten masters on this year's list, and he is the master of the quasi-grandmaster!" Luo Liang said.
"Yifan, you still don't know, the Lingshan Sword Sect is the largest sword sect in Lingzhou, and Xu Ping's swordsmanship ranks second, second only to his senior brother Lingshan Sword Sect Master Lu Xianyuan. Xuzhou added.
"Okay, don't talk about it, this is a good thing, it shows that Xiaofan's martial arts are really amazing now. By the way, didn't you say you got an account book? Show me. Zhou Haohai said to Zhang Yifan.
When Zhang Yifan heard this, he took out the book and handed it to Zhou Haohai, who flipped it over and looked happy.
"Xiao Fan, you have made another contribution, this is Jia Jin's record of dealing with the Lingshan Sword Sect related to the sale of illicit salt, Jia Jin also sold illicit salt, and the Lingshan Sword Sect provided shelter and collected fees. ”
Zhang Yifan was also a little happy when he heard this, and finally had some eyebrows.
Everyone waited for a long time and didn't see Guihuaji come back, and they were a little worried. Just when Zhang Yifan was thinking about going back to find naturalized himself, he saw a flower in front of him, and naturalized Ji appeared in front of everyone, his complexion was very bad, and he was obviously seriously injured.
"Let's go, let's go back. Naturalizing himself didn't wait for everyone to speak, and said with a faint breath.
Seeing this, everyone hurriedly helped the naturalized people to return to the secret stronghold.
"Brother Gui, are you okay?" Zhou Haohai asked with some concern, while Wei Kui on the side treated Gui Huaji's injuries.
"It's okay, this time I was lucky not to die and got the account books, which is already a big profit. Naturalized Ji said with a wry smile.
"What happened?" Zhou Haohai asked.
"After a great deal of effort in the mountain, I found the book in a secret compartment. Later, when I was about to evacuate, I was stopped by a masked man who slapped me while I was unprepared, and then I made more than a dozen moves with him, and I could only pretend to be dead if I was defeated. Then I took the opportunity to take off his scarf and found that it was actually Zhou Xu! Then I called his name, and he was a little panicked, and I found a chance to escape. ”
"Zhou Xu, is that Zhou Xu?" Zhou Haohai said in amazement.
"Of course it's that Zhou Xu! I don't know why he's involved. Naturalized himself also said with a wry smile.
"Listening to Brother Gui's meaning, you don't seem to suspect Zhou Xu of betraying the imperial court?" Zhou Haohai asked with some doubts.
"To tell the truth, even if you and I betray the six doors, Zhou Xu will not betray the court, and besides, he seems to hear my voice later, so he will keep his hand. Gui Hua Ji said something that surprised everyone.
"Jinyiwei has also started to act?" Zhou Haohai said
"Come to think of it, last year's Blue Dragon Operation Jinyiwei also suffered heavy losses. It is not surprising that His Royal Highness sent Zhou Xu to investigate the sale of illicit salt. Naturalized Ji explained.
"Brother Sheng, who is Zhou Xu?" Zhang Yifan asked Chen Sheng next to him in a low voice.
"Zhou Xu, you don't know, Yifan, you are really..."Chen Sheng was surprised that Zhang Yifan had never even heard of Zhou Xu.
"Well, Brother Sheng, you know, I don't know much about these things, after all, I've only been here for more than a year. Zhang Yifan was also a little embarrassed, he seemed to know too little about these things that everyone knew about catching fast!
"Oh, oh, I forgot that you didn't come to Six Doors to catch it for a long time. Zhou Xu is the former Jinyi guard in the brocade guard, only twenty-five years old, not only strong in martial arts, but also has royal blood, in terms of status is equivalent to our six doors of the golden knife fast, so it is also known as the Chu State double unique. Chen Sheng then patiently explained to Zhang Yifan.
"It turns out that Zhou Xu has such a background this time. Zhang Yifan was stunned.
"Okay, no matter what, the account books have been obtained, and Yifan has also got another account book, and this trip has been very fruitful. In this way, I will go back to Lingquan City first and hand over the account books, and Brother Zhou, you will continue to inquire about the news here, always check the situation in Jiafu, and be careful not to expose it. The Spirit Mountain Sword Sect was on the main peak of the Spirit Mountain not far from this Xia Hai City. Yifan, you are now a first-class master in light martial arts, you should first go to the Lingshan Sword Sect to find out whether it is true that they colluded with Jia Jin and sold illicit salt, and do not expose yourself to conflict with them. Naturalized Ji ordered.
The people took the command.
......
Xia Hai City, somewhere.
"The Great Boss has arranged things according to your instructions. It's just that Xu Ping seems to have been killed, and this is a little accident. In addition, according to the news we deliberately released, Zhou Xu also participated as planned. ”
"Well, you're doing a great job. Was Xu Ping killed by Naturalized Ji? Didn't he just let him pretend to intercept it, although it was a pity, but Xu Ping was the abandoned son of the plan, and the hidden account book as a backhand could drag the Lingshan Sword Sect into the water, enough for the guys in the six doors to drink a pot. As for Zhou Xu, you must always pay attention to his movements, don't be caught by him, this person is very difficult to entangle. ”
"No, it's another catcher, it's not clear who it is, and the information hasn't been sent back yet, but it's coming soon. The big boss is really wise, using two half-truths and half-truths, killing two birds with one stone, not only using the hands of the six doors to clear out the disobedient officials in Lingzhou and the court, but also allowing the six doors to spend a lot of energy to deal with the Lingshan Sword Sect. ”
"Oh, I can't imagine that there are such masters in the six doors besides those few fast catchers, and this one needs to get information about this person as soon as possible. By the way, is there any news about the Golden Knife Catch?"
"Not yet, I have sent someone to secretly check it non-stop. ”
"I've been using him to deliver messages to Six Doors, but now that this man has been out of sight for days, he's very good at disguise, and you must be careless. ”
"Yes!"
"Big boss, what else should Jia Jin do?"
"Jagin has enjoyed enough blessings under the protection of adults over the years, you know what I mean. ”
"It's... Be... The subordinates got it. ”
