Chapter 205 Sword Rivers and Lakes: The Clues Left Behind
Outside Luoyang City, on the shore of Wanxi Lake, there is an inconspicuous courtyard, surrounded by green trees, there is no formed road in front of the door, only a pool of branches and leaves piled up all over the ground and muddy sand, which makes the best camouflage and cover for this courtyard!
In the courtyard, a middle-aged man in his forties was sitting in the hall with a frown, carefully flipping through some case files, the fine stubble on his cheeks and his slightly red and swollen eyes showed that this person had not been rested for a regular day!
This middle-aged man is none other than the financial elder of the Burial Sword Tower, Mo Yuan!
And beside Mo Yuan, there was a lean man standing in a regular manner, this person was short and capable, his eyes were bright, and his expression was still a little worried! This person was no stranger to Mo Yuan! This person was Chen Qi, who was specially arranged by Zhang Peng and Mo Yuan under Shangguan Haitang!
Speaking of the relationship between Chen Qi and Mo Yuan, it is definitely much deeper than the origin of the Burial Sword Tower, before Mo Yuan officially settled in the Burial Sword Tower, Chen Qi was Mo Yuan's personal guard, and when Mo Yuan and Zhang Peng joined forces, they were fully responsible for the affairs of the Burial Sword Tower, and this Chen Qi naturally became the person of the Burial Sword Tower!
This is to talk about, it can be regarded as a piece of the past, Chen Qi is a local in Luoyang, Chen Qi's family was poor, Chen Qi's father sent the young Chen Qi to a dart bureau as an apprentice, the purpose is to have a bite to eat. And Chen Qi's father himself worked hard every day, working as a coolie for a rich family, barely earning a few copper plates, supporting himself and Chen Qi's mother, but unfortunately the good times did not last long, a local old man surnamed Jia fell in love with Chen Qi's mother's beauty, and wanted to take it for himself, so he secretly plotted, and one day when Chen Qi's father was not at home, he sent someone to forcibly take Chen Qi's mother away, and then brought it back to the house to commit violence, Chen Qi's mother was overwhelmed by humiliation, and then committed suicide by hitting the wall! After Chen Qi's father learned of this, he rushed to Jia's house with a kitchen knife and wanted to fight with Master Jia, but unfortunately, he was just a farmer who had no martial arts or power, and was finally beaten to death by Master Jia's canine teeth at the door of Jia's house, and the corpse was in the wilderness, and no one cared for him for many days! Later, after Mo Yuan came back from business, he learned about this matter, and Mo Yuan, who had always been the head of righteousness, hated this matter very much, and sent someone to bury Chen Qi's parents, and used business relations to squeeze out the Jiafu industry in one fell swoop, so that within a few months, Jiafu would be surrounded by a family because of lack of financial resources and debts!
Many years later, Chen Qi, who had learned a lot of martial arts, came back from afar, learned about it, and was grief-stricken and wanted to find the Jia family desperately, Mo Yuan helped him throughout the whole process, and hired many masters to assist Chen Qi in avenging the murder of his father and mother!
Since then, Chen Qi has been obedient to Mo Yuan, and in Chen Qi's heart, Mo Yuan is not only the master who feeds himself, but also his benefactor!
"Master, take a break!" Chen Qi said in a low voice, as if he was afraid that his voice would be too loud and scare Mo Yuan!
Mo Yuan's body twisted slightly, then changed his position, slowly shook his head, and sighed softly: "There is such a big thing in the Burial Sword Tower, how can you let me rest in peace!"
Chen Qi sighed lightly and said softly: "Master, it's not your fault! Besides, things have already happened, no matter how you can't get tired!"
Mo Yuan frowned slightly, and said loudly: "How is it not my fault? When did Luoyang City gather such a group of people in the rivers and lakes, but I didn't get any news, isn't it my fault? How did the landlord tell me when he left, and now that it has become like this, how can you let me explain to the mansion master!"
Hearing Mo Yuan's words, Chen Qi's mouth opened, but finally closed slowly, as if he wanted to say something!
"And..."
Mo Yuan just wanted to continue, but suddenly stopped his voice, because in front of him, a figure suddenly appeared, this person appeared extremely strangely, as if he had been standing there from beginning to end, without attracting a trace of other people's attention, this kind of light work is convincing!
Mo Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then after seeing the person who came, his originally tired eyes suddenly lit up, and then a thick joy surged into his face!
"Brother Applejack, you're back?"
The person who came here was Zhang Jie. I saw Zhang Jie nodded, and then walked to Mo Yuan in two steps and stood still,

looked at Mo Yuan with a guilty face.
"Master Mo, I'm late to come back!"
"No, no, no, it's good to come back, it's good to come back!" Mo Yuan said happily.
At this moment, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside the door, and then Liu San ran in with Cao Ke'er panting!
"Elder Applejack, you're so fast, we really can't keep up!" Liu San hurriedly explained as soon as he entered the door.
Zhang Jie ignored Liu San, just grabbed Mo Yuan's arms and asked solemnly, "Master Mo, what's going on?"
Mo Yuan was taken aback by Zhang Jie's sudden movements, but then he reacted, a touch of grief flashed on his face, and then he slowly raised his right hand and handed a piece of paper full of words in his hand to Zhang Jie!
"This is the information that Chen Qi brought back, the person who sneaked up on my burial sword tower that day was the combination of the three major forces of Flying Emperor Castle, Allure Pavilion and Ming Wangfu!"
"What?" Zhang Jie exclaimed, "We have a three-year covenant between us, are they crazy to do this? Or do they not take the agreement of the day as one thing at all? Do they want to violate the morality of the rivers and lakes?"
"Brother Ajie, don't worry, a big incident has happened in the rivers and lakes recently, and this incident is the reason why they dare to unite and openly attack my burial sword tower!
"What is the big deal? It can have such a big influence!" Zhang Jie asked.
Mo Yuan exhaled deeply, and then said with a serious face: "Do you know that Xuanyi, the master of the Ming Palace, is dead!"
"When is Xuanyi dead?" Zhang Jie frowned and asked.
"On the first day of the Lunar New Year, it was the day after our Burial Sword Tower officially settled in the rivers and lakes! That is, Xuanyi was killed on the way back after attending our banquet!" Mo Yuan said quietly.
"Do you know who killed it? The person who can kill Xuanyi will definitely not be an unknown junior!" Zhang Jie asked.
"That's good!" Mo Yuan nodded in agreement, "The result of this matter has already been answered in the rivers and lakes, that is, the rivers and lakes now already know who the murderer is!"
"Who is it?" asked Zhang Jie.
"We!" Mo Yuan replied.
"What? we? this..."
Zhang Jie, who was about to ask, suddenly stopped his mouth, because he seemed to understand something in an instant!
"This is a conspiracy! a conspiracy to blame us!" Zhang Jie said in a cold tone.
"That's right! Just like Yun Xue City planted Peng and killed all the Jianghu people who went to hunt for treasures outside the Guan, it was an extremely despicable method!" Mo Yuan said.
"This is the reason why they bloodied my burial sword tower?" Zhang Jie asked softly.
"Isn't that enough?" Mo Yuan asked rhetorically.
"But they don't have conclusive evidence!" Zhang Jie said again.
"Gossip never needs a lot of hard evidence! a lot of times, as long as there is a reasonable motive to explain it!" Mo Yuan said.
"It's like the inherent contradiction between the Burial Sword Tower and the Ming Palace?"
"This gives the Burial Sword Tower enough reason to make a move against Xuanyi!"
At this moment, Zhang Jie was silent, and Mo Yuan was also silent! They were worried about each other, but they couldn't think of a solution!
Zhang Jie slowly paced to the chair on the side and sat down slowly, and then said word by word: "What is the situation in the rivers and lakes now?"
"The Burial Sword Tower suffered, and some people praised it, saying that it was a very happy move! Most of the people with such a mentality were the forces close to the Luoxia Valley and some small forces behind the people who were killed by Yunxue City outside the pass, and they had always had a hostile attitude towards the Burial Sword Tower!" Mo Yuan replied softly, "And more people are watching the excitement!"
"Isn't there anyone who stands up and says a word of injustice for the burial of the Sword Tower?" Zhang Jie asked coldly.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
"No! At this juncture, even Jiangnan Ouyang has a silent attitude! No one dares to wade into this troubled water! Everyone is afraid that they will become the next Burial Sword Tower!"
"Smack!"
With a crisp sound, Zhang Jie got up and smashed the armrest of the chair, which shows how angry he is in his heart!
"Has Brother Zheng found it?" Zhang Jie suddenly remembered something, turned his head and asked.
Hearing this, Mo Yuan's eyelids twitched slightly, and then nodded slightly, but then shook his head again!
Seeing Mo Yuan's strange movements, Zhang Jie frowned and asked, "Master Mo, what do you mean by this?"
Mo Yuan smiled bitterly, and then said: "Brother Zheng hasn't been found yet, but we have got the news from him! It's just that this news is not very clear, and we are confused, but I think maybe Brother Ajie can understand the deep meaning!"
"Can't understand the news?" Zhang Jie said suspiciously.
"That's good!" Chen Qi took over and said, "When we went to the Burial Sword Tower to investigate, we found that Zheng Ye had gone back and left a line of blood on the wall!
"How do you know for sure that the blood book must have been written by Brother Zheng?" asked Zhang Jie.
"Because the inscription of the blood book is a golden swordsman, and looking at the style of the blood book, it should also be Zheng Ye's!" Chen Qi said.
"If that's the case, then it means that Brother Zheng is still alive!" Zhang Jie said excitedly, "Tell me quickly, what did Brother Zheng leave behind?"
Hearing Zhang Jie's words, Chen Qi turned his head to look at Mo Yuan, only to see Mo Yuan smile slightly, and then said softly: "A paper flying pigeon to pass Peng, brothers meet half a mile, red face and wine have been accompanied, the horizontal knife is immediately fake Ajie, look up at the moon for only seven days, and then go south after the expiration!"
After Mo Yuan finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Jie with a wry smile on his face, and asked softly, "Brother Ajie, do you understand what this means?"
Zhang Jie stood there without saying a word, his expression was serious, his eyes were deep, and he opened his mouth faintly and said, "I understand!"
"What? Do you understand? Then what does this mean by Brother Zheng or not?" Mo Yuan asked in surprise.
Zhang Jie smiled slightly, then nodded firmly, and then slowly opened his mouth and said, "This must have been left by Brother Zheng! Peng once told me about their experience, so I immediately understood the meaning of these words!"
"What is that?" Cao Ke'er couldn't help but ask curiously.
Zhang Jie sorted out his thoughts for a while, and then said: "A piece of paper flying pigeons pass Peng, and brothers meet for half a mile." This sentence said that he had already sent a book to Peng, telling him what was going on here, and made an appointment with Peng to meet halfway between Luoyang and Kunlun Mountain! It is said that the middle place is where it is, it is the place where they once drank and chatted, talked about the red face and wine, and were happy and enmity, and there they also met a fake Zhang Jie, that is, the fake impermanence Yama, Zeng Peng told me that this place is the Mochizuki River Inn in Luzhou! The last sentence, looking up at the moon is only seven days, and it will not be enough to go south after the expiration date. It's about Brother Zheng, he only waited in Mochizuki River for seven days, if he didn't see each other for seven days, then he would continue to walk south and go straight to Kunlun Mountain to find Peng!"
When Zhang Jie finished speaking, everyone present was surprised, staring at Zhang Jie with incredible expressions!
"I really can't imagine that Zheng Yingjun still has this city mansion!" Cao Ke'er exclaimed.
Zhang Jie smiled slightly, and then said: "Brother Zheng's wisdom is foolish, it's not something we can imagine!"
"Then what should we do?" asked Cao Ke'er.
"Before Brother Zheng leaves Luzhou, rush to Luzhou and fight with them!" Zhang Jie said word by word.
Mo Yuan didn't follow, only Zhang Jie and Cao Keer went to Luzhou.
Just as Zhang Jie and Cao Keer left for leave, an inconspicuous white dove quietly flew over Wanxi Lake and circled towards the sky!
