32. Forbidden night
The lights in Xiangyang City are bright, the night market shouts one after another, the lights at night look dazzling, it is indeed very prosperous, no wonder the emperor also said that the way of governance of the king of Xiangyang is still worthy of praise.
After the first watch, although Xiangyang City was still brightly lit, except for the sergeants patrolling the streets and the occasional changer who knocked on the bang, there was no longer a figure.
Forbidden night.
At this time, it was already the third watch, and the shouting of the husband in the distance was "three watches in the middle of the night, be careful of the candles", and the figure flashed in the distance, but it was Li Wuning still walking on the street.
After a few steps, all the dead wind lamps on the street were extinguished, and the whole city was finally plunged into darkness, and only the shops in the distance that were ready to be earlier were re-lit.
The street was dark, and occasionally a little sporadic light was folded on the blue stone, and there was no one.
Luo Bing drank a lot at night and didn't want to come out, and he had already fallen asleep in the hostel.
Li Wuning had a wind under his feet, and soon walked around Xiangyang City, but he had no intention of going back, his body bounced up the city wall, and began to spin around on the city wall.
I don't know how long it took to wander around like this, and the morning star in the east had already risen, and Li Wuning sighed.
There was a flower in front of him, and suddenly there were two more figures in front of him.
Li Wuning saw two people walking towards him, only to see that one person looked mighty and severe, but he looked very kind, it was Ouyang Qing, and the other person was wearing a bronze mask and a green shirt, but he was a heavenly demon.
Li Wuning stood still holding the hilt of his sword and said, "Sure enough, the two of you are on the city wall." I searched around below, just to see the Heavenly Demon, and wanted to say a few words to the Heavenly Demon. ”
Ouyang Qing's face didn't change and his heart didn't beat, but there was a hint of hostility mixed with a hint of chill in his eyes, and he said indifferently: "The blood sword is powerful, this is not the underworld sword saint of martial arts?
After speaking, his body did not move his shoulders or shrug, and the person under his feet was already in front of the Heavenly Demon, and this hand was really beautiful.
The Heavenly Demon took a step forward, didn't let Ouyang Qing block him, raised his hand to stop him, looked at Li Wuning and said, "Brother Li didn't say goodbye last time, it's really rude, is there something to stop me in the middle of the night?"
Li Wuning thought about it carefully and said, "Yesterday, when Luo Bing and I entered the city, we met a disciple of Dharma from Shaolin Temple, and he guessed who you were. ”
Although the Heavenly Demon wore a mask, he couldn't see any expression on his face, but the eyes in the mask were cold and flashed and immediately burst out with a murderous aura, as if he could fly out anytime and anywhere, and said coldly: "Li Wuning, your little kung fu is a sword saint in the eyes of others, and in my eyes, it is just a slight skill." Looking at your current appearance, do you have no fear? If I don't kill you, it's not that I can't kill you, but I think you're useful. ”
Li Wuning smiled: "Such a strong momentum, worthy of being Dugu Linglong." It's just that I naturally want to inquire about something when I come to be single, and I don't have the idea of doing it for the time being. ”
Ouyang Qing showed a look of surprise on his face, it is estimated that he didn't know who the Heavenly Demon was, Li Wuning shouted Dugu Linglong's name, and even Ouyang Qing didn't believe it.
The Heavenly Demon stood in place and was stunned, probably forgetting his name, but he didn't seem to care, and said lightly: "You were extremely disgusted with me before, and you wanted to fight a decisive battle with me in the Tianshan Mountains, and you would rather die than be my enemy, why do you have something to talk about today?"
The voice of the Heavenly Demon was hoarse, and the male voice was mixed with a bit of a female voice, it was so harsh to listen to it, even Ouyang Qing was not very comfortable listening to it, and when these words came from his ears to his heart, he felt unspeakably uncomfortable.
Ouyang Qing looked at Li Wuning from the side and said coldly: "Hypocrisy. You used to be known as the Blood Sword, but how can you be a good person?"
Before the fierce battle in Zhoushan in February, it was Li Wuning who attracted Jin Wuwei from the Criminal Department, which caused the emptiness of Dali Temple and gave the black-clothed man Chu Qiuyu and the ronin a chance.
Naturally, Ouyang Qing had a deep hatred for Li Wuning, and the sword in Li Wuning's hand said proudly: "I never think of myself as a gentleman, how can I talk about hypocrisy and hypocrisy, I come from the green forest, and I should call myself a hero in the green forest?"
The Heavenly Demon stood still, with a pair of cold and majestic eyes, he glanced at Li Wuning a few times, and said: "Li Wuning's self-proclaimed underworld sword saint is not a hypocrisy, since you have come, if you have anything to say, just say it first." ”
Li Wuning said: "This is natural, if you say everything based on my words today, it will make people feel uneasy." ”
Heavenly Demon sighed slightly: "Now I will ask the Sword Saint to go back and continue to work with Luo Bing, as soon as my Xiangyang matter is over, I will go to Luoyang."
When the time comes, I will definitely have something to ask for, and when I am done, I will naturally inform my brother of all the plans and all the personnel. In the future, you will not be able to build a country, and you will be indispensable. ”
Li Wuning laughed and said, "Okay, very good, a word is a deal!" and left.
What he said just now still made the Heavenly Demon feel very happy.
When a cat catches a mouse, it will not swallow it immediately, it will always play with the mouse first, and will eat it when it is tired of it.
Heavenly Demon felt that he was very much like a cat in many places, Luo Bing and Lu Changfeng had now fallen into his grasp like a mouse, and he might as well trick this mouse before swallowing it.
That's his greatest pleasure.
Ouyang Qing looked at his back as he left, and said coldly: "This person was too murderous before, and I always felt that he was unreliable. ”
Heavenly Demon nodded and said, "Now is the time to employ people, as long as there is a glimmer of opportunity, we must try our best to win over." With the help of the Restless, it will be much easier for us to get things done. Ouyang Qing frowned tightly and remained silent.
The Heavenly Demon stood with his hands in his hands, looked up at the sky, the east was already white, stood silently for a long time, and suddenly said: "Where is this person Chu Qiushui? This person's wisdom and martial arts are all first-class, which is enough for us." ”
Ouyang Qing asked: "I heard that the Hunan and Hubei Chu families want to clear their hands for Lu Changfeng, don't you?"
The Heavenly Demon nodded, "Not bad." ”
Ouyang Qing was shocked: "Have you sent people to the Chu family?
Banxiang replied: "I didn't want to kill so many people, but once the poisonous insects of the Qiqiao boy are out of the cage, even he can't control them, and the killing is indeed too heavy."
Ouyang Qing was born in a public family of this generation, and he really values his reputation, and he was born in Dali Temple and has experienced the hardships of the people.
At the moment, he was furious and said: "These people are just family members, they don't know martial arts, you actually sent people to kill them? And I heard that the death is unbearable, you are really vicious, hum!"
The Heavenly Demon shook his head and sighed, "I didn't mean to do that. I just asked the tangram boy to find out the news, but who knew that since the tangram boy was castrated, he was extremely perverted in his heart, and he actually poisoned the Chu Mansion to death.
Alas, I don't kill Beren, but Beren died because of me, and this always makes me feel guilty, and if you want to achieve great things, you must have a good name. I have ordered that the Qiao Boys be confined for three days, and now that the strong enemies are gathered, it is the time to employ people, and I cannot punish them too severely. ”
Ouyang Qing said angrily: "If you can't go out for three days, will you wipe out so many lives?"
Heavenly Demon said: "After the matter is settled here, you go to preside over justice and kill the Qiqiao boy, I will never care." ”
Ouyang Qing snorted, pondering how to kill the Qiqiao Boy, but said, "I'll see it then." ”
He knew in his heart that the Heavenly Demon was just unloading the mill and killing the donkey, and the mind of the Qiqiao boy was already uncontrollable, so it was better to kill it.
The Heavenly Demon sighed and said, "The top priority now is to prevent Chu Qiushui, who was born in the Xiaoyao Sect and secretly gathered a lot of celebrities to correct the name of the martial arts.
In addition, Lu Changfeng is extremely dangerous, and he must be eliminated to reduce the big trouble in my heart, so I mobilized all the horses and horses, and took this opportunity to not only kill Lu Changfeng, but also eliminate all the stumbling blocks by the way. ”
It's late at night.
"Stay overnight before night, and watch the sky early when the rooster crows", the travelers, of course, have already slept, and only those who get up early to make breakfast have already gotten up again.
Heavenly Demon and Ouyang Qing actually have the leisure to enjoy the night of April twilight spring,
The moon is about to set, the sky is full of stars, the night is really beautiful, and he seems to have a little poetry in his heart.
A poetry that is completely incompatible with his murderous plan.
Ouyang Qing didn't make a sound, nodded slightly, the Heavenly Demon looked very radiant against the white light in the east, and said with a smile: "Brother Ouyang, you have done the management of Dali Temple, I will hand over to you all the current lineage rosters of various sects, they will contact you one-line, don't make mistakes, this is a trivial matter."
Ouyang Qing was surprised and delighted in his heart, and said: These are the people who will be in the future, they must not make mistakes, and they will keep secrets strictly. ”
Heavenly Demon nodded and said: "These people are all over the black and white, officialdom, with different identities, and most of them are your old acquaintances, I believe you will not betray them." He said loudly: "Brothers, please come out and speak!"
The pavilion on the tower of the city gate immediately jumped down a row of black shadows, and Ouyang Qingxin said: "These people are all good skills!"
Looking at his face again, he was even more shocked, and secretly shouted: "No wonder Lu Changfeng doesn't trust people anymore, it's true!"
The Heavenly Demon seemed to guess what he was thinking, raised his hand and pointed, and said, "The five people in the front, you have already seen them, but they are the five mountains that are famous all over the rivers and lakes. They had followed Temol in the past, and now they are returning to the mountains. ”
He pointed to the rest of the people: "You have known other people for a long time, the second master Nan Yunfei, the third master Zhu Ming, the fourth master of the family style and nine shadows, and the fifth master Wenxing, you can't see the names of these people, and they are not below you in terms of martial arts, and they are all well-known characters." ”
Ouyang Qing looked at them in turn, and sighed in his heart: "The Heavenly Demon still has some means, these people are all rising stars in the industry, you can recruit so many masters, even the leader of my Dali Temple detective and tracking is in it."
Pity me at first always thought that Wen Xing was the person of Lu Changfeng, but it turned out that he was the inner ghost of Dali Temple, hey, my Dali Temple is not loose It is really intolerable. ”
Thinking of this, his face changed, and he said in a cold voice: "Heavenly Demon, does the death of cold abandonment have anything to do with you?"
The Heavenly Demon stood with his hands in his hands, looking at Ouyang Qing coldly, but did not answer.
Ouyang Qing said angrily in his heart: "The murderer is either a top master, or a friend who is coldly abandoned, Wen Xing, is it that Leng Qi discovered your secret and let you kill the killer?"
Wen Xing also looked at Ouyang Qing coldly: "It's not me, what am I killing him for......"
Ouyang Qing stared at the Heavenly Demon tightly with his eyes blazing, and said coldly: "If it's not Wen Xing, it's Li Wuning." Then I have to share life and death with Li!"
Heavenly Demon said lightly: "If I tell the murderer, can you take care of it, you can easily spoil everyone's good deeds every time?"
Ouyang Qing said abruptly: "Can I not spoil everyone's good deeds." ”
Wen Xing didn't hear it right, he knew that Leng Qi and Ouyang Qing had a deep friendship, and he didn't even bother to explain Wen Xing, so he turned his head and looked at the mountains in the distance.
Ouyang Qing's face flashed with blue anger, and he didn't continue to ask, but the resentment in his heart was not revealed.
The Heavenly Demon couldn't see the expression on his face clearly while wearing a mask, nodded slightly, and said, "Now in Xiangyang, we are facing unprecedented challenges.
I originally intended to negotiate with the king of Xiangyang about the things that should be reconciled, but the king of Xiangyang was afraid of the current saint and ignored us, and the game of chess on the top number was broken.
If we are not careful, Luo Bing, Lu Changfeng and Shaolin will become our opponents, if Lu Changfeng resumes martial arts, everyone joins forces, even with our strength, we can't resist it. That's where we seem to have no place to bury. “
Ouyang Qing asked, "I don't know what good plans the Heavenly Demon Lord has?"
Heavenly Demon said: "At present, we want to find Lu Changfeng as soon as possible. Hu Miji, who was arranged by Lu Changfeng's side, has lost contact with me, and if my inference is correct, she must be hiding somewhere to resume practicing.
The matter of finding Lu Changfeng must be started by Wen Xing, who is very good at light skills, so this matter must be done by Wen Xing and Nan Yunfei together. ”
Ouyang Qing frowned and said: "This is also very good, even if Lu Changfeng recognizes Wen Xing, he will not be ruthless, they are all colleagues of Dali Temple?"
The Heavenly Demon sighed: "That's no way, I'm no longer what I used to be." ”
After a pause in the tone of the Heavenly Demon, he said: "Nanyun Fei was born in the Beggars Gang, and now he has also learned my Cold Ice Palm, and his skills must be improving by leaps and bounds, even if he is still inferior to Luo Bing and Lu Changfeng, but you are no longer equal to Brother Ouyang."
After the death of Timol fifteen years ago, I was also seriously injured, and my skills are difficult to recover, so each of you should try to learn some of my martial arts, and Shaolin is now preparing to re-host a martial arts conference, intending to expel the Demon Sect completely......"
Ouyang Qing groaned, "When will that martial arts conference start?"
Heavenly Demon shook his head and said, "It's not clear, I just heard that Kongjian is very dissatisfied with the current black smoke miasma of the martial arts......"
When the demons rose, the sun had already shone on the windows, and it was even noon.
Normally, at this time, they have already set off, but no one has come to urge him until now, could it be that Nan Yunfei is also like him, and he got up late today?
In fact, he didn't sleep much, others slept for seven or eight hours, and he only needed to sleep for two or three hours. He came back late, and when he went to bed, it was not almost dawn, but it was already dawn, and a person who went to bed at dawn must have done things that could not see the light.
He had only slept for more than an hour, but he seemed to be in good spirits.
When a person is in a good mood, he will always appear radiant and energetic.
Of course he was in a good mood, because he had done something very proud of him last night.
He only shouted: "Feng Jiuyou", and Feng Jiuyou immediately appeared in front of the door, but did not come in.
The Heavenly Demon suddenly asked him, "How did you Li Wuning get subdued, and who is this person who subdued him?"
Feng Jiuyou said: "I want to know." ”
The Heavenly Demon smiled and said, "Why don't you ask?"
Feng Jiuyou said: "Because this is your private matter, it has nothing to do with me at all, and I don't like to inquire about things that I shouldn't know." ”
He paused, smiled, and said, "Besides, if you want to tell me, you will tell me the same if I don't ask." ”
The Heavenly Demon also smiled. He not only appreciates the reasonableness and sensibility of this subordinate, but also feels very satisfied. Among this group of people, he is most satisfied with Feng Jiuyou, and the one he likes the most is indeed Nan Yunfei.
He suddenly looked at Feng Jiuyou and asked, "Do you drink in the morning?"
Feng Jiuyou smiled and said: "Usually I drink a little, because what I do is something that can't see the light, it's too humid and cold there, and I can't be cold if I don't drink a little." It's just that if I have friends who want to drink together, I can accompany them at twelve o'clock a day. ”
The Heavenly Demon looked at him, let out a long sigh, and said, "It's really my luck to be able to make a friend like you. ”
The Heavenly Demon laughed again. Because he couldn't help but laugh.
Fortunately, he was always smiling, and in recent years she herself had been practicing smiling, and she had always smiled so gently and kindly, that no one could tell what was going on in his heart.
It's not easy to make money, and he also needs a money-making expert like Feng Jiuyou.
What Feng Jiuyou did, this was what the Heavenly Demon was most interested in, and it was also the thing that gave him the most headache.
No matter what you do, you need money, and the Heavenly Demon maintains such a huge amount of manpower and material resources, of course, you have to find another source of money.
It is not easy to make money, and it is even more difficult to manage money, and the heroes who regard money as dung will certainly not be experts in this industry.
You can't live a bloody business every day, not to mention that the money you earned at that time was not a lot of money, it was all small money, and it was not enough to maintain the operation of an organization.
A person pushed open the door and walked in, and it was actually Nan Yunfei.
Feng Jiuyou ignored him, still standing silently, and the Heavenly Demon said coldly: "What do you want to do here?"
Nanyun Fei said: "Don't do anything, just want to say a few words!"
Feng Jiuyou smiled and said, "You didn't go to talk to the girl, but you came here to talk?"
Nan Yunfei smiled and asked rhetorically, "Are we all Heavenly Demon people now?"
The Heavenly Demon on the side said, "Hmm!"
Feng Jiuyou said: "So we are still comrades!"
Nanyun Fei said: "Hmm!"
Feng Jiuyou laughed and said, "I'm afraid you won't be able to practice the Night Emperor Cold Ice Palm, there are some kung fu that you won't be able to learn in your life!"
Nan Yunfei glared at him, and just wanted to stand up, Heavenly Demon smiled and said: "Some kung fu requires calmness, some kung fu does require understanding, some people have practiced kung fu for a lifetime but are not as good as others for a month, do you understand this truth?"
Nan Yunfei thought about it, nodded, and walked out.
