It was the full moon in the sky, and it was the dead of night.

Only some well-to-do families in the city are qualified to light oil candles and illuminate the courtyard of the house to show the extraordinaryness of the family.

And most of the small families with pertinent backgrounds, or poor and destitute doors, have long been asleep.

Among them, most of them have not fallen asleep, and there are also those who take advantage of the moonlight to seize the time to hold books and read hard.

I hope to be able to be admitted to the Dafeng Imperial Court to open a way out for the world's scholars, and to be the first in the imperial examination.

It is said that the moon on the fifteenth is sixteen round, which is really good, very round and bright.

Gu Caotang's small courtyard doesn't need to be lit up, and you can enjoy the moon peacefully by putting out refreshments by the moonlight.

Liu Shanshan and Suning have long since left, one is a person who can't be idle, and most of them are drinking with some heroes of the rivers and lakes.

The other is because of his snooze nature, he went to bed early as usual.

In the small courtyard, only Gu Shuleng and Pingyang Chao were left admiring the moon and chatting.

"The actions of the Qing Party tonight should be reasonable, but the intention of the leader of the Fish Dragon Gang, Yu Congyang, seems to be a bit strange and worth studying. Pingyang asked tentatively.

"No, even if his purpose is not pure, it is not too much of a threat. Gu Shuleng was a little unimpressed.

The fact that the fish gang leader can make a move tonight means that there has been a change within the Supervision Department, and it is probably likely that it is a change for himself.

It's just not going to be fatal, at least not right now.

Another reason is that in fact, in the past few years of the original plot, although the Fish and Dragon Gang is still standing, the gang leader is not Yu Congyang.

If there was no accident, most of them would have died tonight, but it was because of his appearance that the plot changed.

As for whether the Ichthyosaurus Gang will be destroyed tonight, it depends on whether the Qing Party has the courage to really move out of the 'Great Sword Cultivator'.

It's just that this point can hardly be considered, although the Dafeng Dynasty is only a semi-stocking model of support, but in secret, most of them are prepared to counterbalance the intervention of high-level monks in Northern Zheng.

And these, he and the leader of the Fish Gang actually know in their hearts that the Fish Dragon Gang will only end up with heavy casualties at most.

Otherwise, the leader of the fish gang really wants to carry out the orders of the 'master', regardless of fighting him to the end?

"I've listened to what Mr. Liu said, and I guessed Childe's intentions, but I still don't understand, why is Childe willing to take a great risk to take a big risk in the current dangerous situation?"

What Gu Caotang has done in the past few years is all about this young hall master planning a thing, and even Pingyang Chao only knows a rough idea, but he doesn't know many of the keys. Because the 'secret team' is in the hands of Liushan Mountain, the Pingyang Dynasty does not take care of it, so it knows very little.

Gu Shu sneered, and he didn't really care about the scholarly anger of the previous few days of the Pingyang Dynasty.

He didn't answer directly, just thought for a moment, and said quietly: "Do you remember what I said to you when I first met you?"

Pingyang Chao was stunned at first, then stunned, and finally stunned again.

He still remembers the scene when his family was wiped out, and he was the only one left to survive.

At that time, he was determined to live and die, and his mind was full of thoughts about fighting to die and changing the life of a 'black dog'. So I planned to thank my teacher, and I went to die after leaving the door, but I was unexpectedly stopped by my son, who was still a young boy at the time.

At that time, Childe didn't say much, and it wasn't all big truths, but they were all sobering soup that woke up the people in the dream.

Finally, Childe told a story to the effect that:

Once, a Confucian sage held a literary meeting at the Spring and Autumn Academy, and there was a conflict with the Hanhai Academy, which was the only one that could compete with the Spring and Autumn Academy at that time.

The conflict arose from the issue of a sect disciple wantonly slaughtering ordinary people to cultivate the evil path forbidden arts, which led to a huge disagreement between the two sides over the handling of this chief disciple. The scholars of the two schools were knotted, arguing whether to judge the crime with righteousness or to sentence with morality, and the two sides insisted on each other's opinions.

In the end, the contradiction developed into an academic debate between factions, and the debate between good and evil was even involved in the "verbal sword" of countless scholars.

At the end of this incident, no one even mentioned the sect disciple who had killed countless civilians, and no one paid attention to the disciple's escape.

At that time, a sword cultivator who had long been blind to the sword drew his sword angrily, and slashed the sect disciple to death with a sword in front of everyone, and afterwards spat at all the Confucian protégés, saying:

What a thing, but a sword thing.

After the story was finished, Childe asked him, "Do you want to learn swords?" ”

He was very stimulated at that time, and blurted out to ask, "How many black dogs can Xuecheng kill?"

"Kill until you don't want to kill again. ”

"When will you teach me?"

"You have to do one thing first. ”

"When?"

"It's not impossible to say now, it's as short as a year or as late as three years. ”

In fact, what he didn't know was that that encounter made him deviate from the original trajectory of his life and go to a deliberately arranged path.

Now, Gu Shu sighed coldly and said softly: "Now, it's time for you to really practice your sword." ”

Pingyang Chao was silent, of course he knew what this sentence meant, it meant that he needed to do it.

Naturally, I know what to do, because I have been preparing for more than a year.

He stood up and bowed respectfully.

Gu Shuleng was a little angry, knocked on the table, and motioned for Pingyang Chao to sit down and talk.

Seeing that he still hadn't moved, he scolded with a smile: "You are the most pedantic, no wonder Liu Shanshan usually doesn't like you very much." ”

Pingyang Chao Zhengse asked, "The son has never cultivated, can his physique withstand it?"

Gu Shu was noncommittal and motioned for him to sit down.

"What about Gu Caotang?" he asked again.

"You take Suning to Bijiantai tomorrow, and after seeing Yanxin, he will naturally know what to do. Gu Shuleng's expression was calm and continued: "Everyone in Gu Caotang will be settled, don't worry. ”

"What about you, childe? Pingyang Chao didn't understand it very much, and continued to ask repeatedly, "Everyone will arrange the way, what about you, son." ”

He didn't ask how he arranged himself, nor did he ask what Childe had to come to this point, what he was for.

Gu Shuleng's expression was still understated, and he said softly: "There is no place in the world where I can't go." ”

Pingyang Chao was silent again, he saw everything Gongzi had done in the past few years, and he had carefully scrutinized the mystery of each step, but there were still many explanations that could not be explained.

He knew that Childe established the 'secret agent team' not to find people on the surface, but to know what was happening, and to find the key point and time point for the development of the situation.

It's just that he can't figure out why Childe has calculated exactly what will happen in a certain place and what kind of situation it will evolve into. It's like a chessboard that has been deduced in advance, just waiting for it to fall step by step.

He also knew that in order to wait for the current situation in Uehara City, Gongzi had made a very important push in the middle, including the arrival of the great kendo master of Sword Mountain. It was precisely because of the arrival of this being that the huge influence brought by him was enough to stir up the situation in Uehara City even more chaotic.

What he couldn't understand was that those few nonsensical letters and exchanges, and the several great cultivators involved, also paid attention to Gu Caotang with the eyes of too many forces.

In addition, he cooperated with the Supervision Department several times, and on the surface, he was about to get involved in the situation in Yulin District, but in fact, he reached many secret affairs with the 'secret official', and benefited from it by opening the door of convenience.

It's just that whether these things are successful or not, they are enough to put themselves in the middle of fire and water, and once the situation stabilizes a little in the future, it will inevitably be a fatal disaster.

Among them, there are still many clues that I can't figure out for a while, but I can guess that it is the unknown backhand of Childe.

He really didn't understand why Gongzi was so desperate to dismantle the Gu Caotang that he had worked so hard to build in the past three years, just like a gambler pushing all his chips onto the table in one go, leaving no room for it.

Even, it is very likely that he will take his own life.

Childe is like being chased by an invincible enemy, and he can only run desperately all the time, not daring to catch his breath.
