The door of the Zhizhou Mansion was wide open, and the minister of the Qin Mission was welcomed to the front of the mansion, Liu Lang walked out of the carriage with the help of Uncle Niu, he looked up at the sun overhead, the sun that was about to enter summer, said that the heat was not hot, but the light was no longer as soft as the early spring, just glanced at it, Liu Lang felt dizzy.

Liu Lang's expression on his face was still calm, but in the eyes of outsiders, he was a little more pale and haggard.

He slowly walked to the carriage of Lord Qincha Tang Mingli, saluted slightly, and then said, "My lord, the Zhizhou Mansion has arrived, please get off the carriage." ”

Tang Mingli lifted the curtain, and when he saw Liu Lang who was still saluting with his head down, he praised this prince of Chang'an Zhizhou who had never met before, this person has a lot of courage, even if such an unfortunate thing happens at home, this Liu Gongzi can still deal with it calmly, which is not comparable to the children of ordinary official eunuch families.

Chen Zijing looked at the condolence couplets and big white lanterns hanging on the gate of the Zhizhou Mansion, his brows couldn't help frowning slightly, and he said loudly: "Liu Gongzi, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to receive Lord Qincha like this?"

The Son of Heaven travels, but all white things must be avoided, so as not to collide with the dragon face, the minister of the Qin mission represents the face of the emperor, and he can not see white things everywhere he goes, although there are some impersonal feelings, but the law is like this, no matter who it is, it must be abided by.

Liu Lang had a look of exhaustion in his eyes, he stared at the funeral arrangement at the door, and did not give any explanation, but said lightly to Uncle Niu beside him: "Let people withdraw." ”

"Yes!"

Uncle Niu was about to retreat, Tang Mingli waved his hand: "That's it, the dead are great, don't do such things that disturb the undead." ”

For the first time, Liu Lang's eyes had a little brilliance, but it was only for a moment, and it darkened again, and the group walked into the Zhizhou Mansion, while Zhang Shaoyang and the three of them were intercepted by layers of soldiers and could not enter the Zhizhou Mansion, so the three of them had to leave and find a nearby inn to live in temporarily.

Now that Lord Qincha has come to Chang'an, if the affairs of the Zhizhou Mansion are not investigated, it probably will not stop, so it will not be able to enter the Zhizhou Mansion in a short period of time, Zhang Shaoyang is not in a hurry, and he is just able to calm down and practice the avoidance method during this time.

But Zhang Shaoyang didn't know if he didn't practice, and he was startled when he practiced.

When he finally had his leisure and wanted to seriously practice the avoidance, he found that he could not practice the avoidance at all? Originally, he was going to hold the exhaled turbid qi into the inner pill, and then forcibly open up the inner pill, but now he not only couldn't feel the inner pill, but even the avoidance time could only last for a few breaths.

For a while, Zhang Shaoyang was a little confused, and he thought to himself, could it be because he had just escaped from death, and his body was still a little weak?

But obviously there is no feeling of emptiness, after trying a few times to no avail, Zhang Shaoyang hurriedly went to Yao Sanming to seek the reason, and after Yao Sanming's exploration, he found that the inner pill in Zhang Shaoyang's body disappeared?

Originally, Zhang Shaoyang's inner pill was shattered, and he couldn't live it, but because of the magical effect of the Honghu Sword and the Soul Bead, Shengsheng saved Zhang Shaoyang again, and seeing that Zhang Shaoyang was the same as before, Yao Sanming thought that these two treasures restored Zhang Shaoyang's inner pill, which had the effect of bringing the dead back to life.

Now even Yao Sanming can't say what's going on, in Zhang Shaoyang's original inner dan, it has been replaced by dense meridians, and the inner dan has disappeared without a trace, which means that even if Zhang Shaoyang survives, he can no longer accumulate internal strength, and he can't talk about any achievements in martial arts.

After learning the news, Zhang Shaoyang was silent, he only had one sentence in his heart at the moment, your uncle's!

Lao Tzu worked hard to be a cook on the edge of the Luohe River for a few months, pulled out the Bailu sword and was almost killed by the sword qi, and then lost the stones for ten days, split the water for a month, poked the chopsticks for a night, and then fought with Xi Wan for the master in front of thousands of disciples of the Sword Pavilion, and now suddenly told him that he couldn't learn the sword?

Zhang Shaoyang wanted to cry without tears, and suddenly he felt that God was joking with him, and finally worshipped the sword fairy as a teacher, and finally had the preparation to concentrate on studying kendo, and now he was knocked out with a blow and there was no way to turn over.

Looking at Zhang Shaoyang's frosted eggplant, Yao Sanming laughed dryly: "Although there is no way to learn the sword, fortunately, there is still life, which is good." ”

"Master, is there really no way?"

Yao Sanming shook his head: "It's still okay to learn a few tricks to defend yourself, and it's good to think of it as a physical fitness, but it's impossible to achieve something." ”

"Okay, it seems that I'm really not the material for learning swords, it's okay, now I can completely die, and when I return to Jiangling, I will do business for my father with peace of mind, lest he scold me all day long. ”

Looking at Zhang Shaoyang's pretending to be relaxed, Yao Sanming let out a faint 'hmm', and then Zhang Shaoyang bowed seriously to Yao Sanming and slowly walked out of the room.

Unconsciously the sun has set, at this time there is a red afterglow in the sky, Zhang Shaoyang out of the inn, walking aimlessly in the city, to say that it is not uncomfortable It must be impossible, Zhang Shaoyang's heart is like eating a mouthful of pepper, from the head to the feet, I don't know when he began to be more enthusiastic about martial arts, especially kendo.

Following Yao Sanming is nothing more than a few months, but this straightforward old guy really deserves the name of the Sword Immortal, not only is his swordsmanship at its peak, but even those worldly truths are more thorough than ordinary people.

Zhang Shaoyang has studied for a long time, and he hasn't practiced anything in the sword, but his heart is almost sharpened, which of Yao Sanming's methods is not sharpening his mind? Zhang Shaoyang is so smart, how can he not see it.

At the beginning, maybe he learned the sword to show his talents, but now he is learning the sword, probably to be worthy of his sword immortal master.

"Now go back, Gao Jingshu should laugh at me again. Zhang Shaoyang sighed, watched the colorful glow on the horizon gradually darken, and his face became rare melancholy.

......

Tang Mingli entered the Zhizhou Mansion, the first thing he did was not to rest, but first called the person in charge of the autopsy, and then asked a group of servants who had intersected with Liu Zhi that night, and after interrogating this group of people in detail and recording them, the sky outside couldn't help but be dark.

Tang Mingli got up and opened the door, it was very dark tonight, if it was an assassination, it would be the most suitable night to choose.

Tang Mingli just thought about it randomly, and then smiled self-deprecatingly, just when he saw Liu Lang walking with a maid in the distance, Tang Mingli showed a smile and stepped out of the door.

"Lord Tang, I heard that you have been busy with business, so I asked the kitchen to cook some food and bring it over. ”

"Liu Gongzi has a heart. Tang Mingli said with a smile.

After Liu Lang and the maid left, Tang Mingli returned to the room, looked at the food on the table divided into three layers, wafting out an attractive aroma, an inexplicable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he sat down, fiddled with the lunch box twice with one hand, and inadvertently looked at the door that was not closed.

I don't know when, a figure appeared there, standing motionless in the doorway, like a ghost.

"Sir, please come in!" Tang Ming got up suddenly, hurriedly stepped forward, and welcomed the figure into the room, and in the light, he saw clearly that this person was the famous Gu Sumu.

"The young man you asked me to follow is also in Chang'an now. ”

Tang Mingli turned up a teacup from the table, and then slowly poured the tea in the teapot into the cup, there was no expression on his face, after pouring most of the tea, Tang Mingli lifted the teapot, and then said slowly: "I still saw it today." ”

"There is nothing worth saying about this son, but his father is a famous businessman in Jiangling, I went to investigate, his father's name is Zhang Qingyuan, it is said that he used to be from the capital, and later moved to Jiangling and started a merchant business. ”

Tang Mingli narrowed his eyes: "I see, it seems that it used to be my father-in-law's old acquaintance." ”

"What are you going to do?"

"If you can't do it, kill it. ”

Tang Mingli said lightly, as if it was a joke, but Gu Sumu took a serious look at the young man in front of him, and he only took a sip of tea by himself.

"It's not easy to kill, do you know who the old man next to him is?"

"Is it the number one person, comparable to Mr.?"

Gu Su Mu sneered and said: "The sword immortal who has to be honored in the world for swordsmanship, do you say it is the number one person?"

Tang Mingli was stunned for a moment, but then drank the tea in the cup, and naturally dispelled his thoughts: "Since this is the case, then forget it." ”

Then he took out a quaint book from his arms, with the words "Daimyo Sword Post" written on it, and handed it to Gu Sumu.

Gu Sumu showed a hint of fire in his eyes, took the book, then rubbed it, turned a page and looked at it twice, and after confirming that it was true, he put it away.

"Refreshing. ”

Tang Mingli laughed: "Mr. made a deal with me, how could I have ever been unhappy? But after all, Mr. did not complete the things I explained, I handed this book to Mr. in the hope that Mr. could do me another favor." ”

Gu Sumu frowned: "What's the matter?"

"There is probably a good show to be staged tonight, the play is a good show, but it is a little dangerous, one accidentally may have to move his head, I hope that Mr. can hide in the shadows, and protect me at a critical moment. ”

Gu Sumu thought for a while, nodded and said, "It's not difficult. ”

Tang Mingli got up and strode towards the door, at this moment, he seemed to have more confidence, and then he didn't look back, and said to Gu Sumu behind him: "If Mr. is thirsty, pour your own tea, this tea is good tea, and it won't taste good if it's cold." ”

Looking at the back that was gradually walking away, Gu Sumu glanced at the tea on the table, which was no longer steaming, but didn't touch it after all, and then walked out of the room and blended into the night.

......

After inspecting the Zhizhou Mansion several times, Chen Zijing arranged dozens of elites of the Zhaolin Army under his command in all corners of the Zhizhou Mansion, until the last position was properly arranged, Chen Zijing finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The capital gave him full authority to guarantee the safety of the minister, and Chen Zijing understood that it would not be an easy task to be able to use the Zhaolin army.

Today, I learned from the kid surnamed Zhang that the two elites he sent out had been killed, and it was obvious that he was tracking the ink pool and revealing his feet, and he had secretly tracked the ink pool for so long, and the whereabouts of the ink pool that he had finally obtained were cut off like this, Chen Zijing originally thought that he had no clue.

And the killing of Chang'an Zhizhou is probably also done by the ink pool, which not only let him know the news of the ink pool, but also happened to give him a chance to beat the ink pool in the name of the word, how could Chen Zijing be careless in this errand?

Tonight, the Zhizhou Mansion is a little weird, as for how weird, Chen Zijing can't understand, probably because of the alertness that has been grinding out of leading troops to fight all year round, which makes Chen Zijing feel that the seemingly calm Zhizhou Mansion is like a surging quagmire, unfathomable.

After everything was set up, he saw from a distance that the Lord Tang Mingli was striding towards him, Chen Zijing hurriedly walked over, and after a brief salute, he asked suspiciously: "My lord is not resting in the room so late, what are you doing here?"

Tang Mingli smiled: "I just inquired about the case, and I don't have a clue, so I came to the general to chat." ”

Chen Zijing showed a mouthful of white teeth: "My lord is indeed interesting. ”

"Interesting?" Tang Mingli was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said, "What's interesting, I'm afraid of death, didn't I come to seek refuge from the general?"

"What do you mean, sir?"

"General Chen, I can be sent to Jiangnan Province as a minister, and naturally I know the facts of the case of the four murdered officials. ”

Chen Zijing was completely stunned: "My lord, what do you mean by this?"

"Isn't it strange that I, the minister of the Imperial Mission, have not yet arrived in Jiangnan, and there is such a thing happening in Chang'an? I think it is probably someone with ulterior motives who deliberately lured me to this Chang'an City, the purpose is not easy to say, it may be that he does not want me to go to Jiangnan Province, or it may be that I cannot go to Jiangnan Province at all, who can say clearly. ”

"Could it be..."Chen Zijing was stunned, and was thinking about these words in his heart, but he felt that the trees around him suddenly shook without wind.

Chen Zijing was shocked, took off the double gun behind his back, and protected Tang Mingli behind him, but Tang Mingli just looked at the darkness without fear.
