Chapter 318: The Dark Tide is Surging
The night is very quiet, and the moon is in the sky.
In the backyard of the General's Mansion, a white figure sat quietly on the ridge of the roof, holding a wine jug in his hand, drinking to the moon.
Yan Shan stood in front of the window, clenched his fist slightly at the white figure, and then the figure flashed and disappeared into the vast night.
West of Xiangyang City, Zhao Mansion, in the main hall.
The candlelight flickered, and there were six people discussing things. The person in the center is a tall middle-aged scribe, he is Zhao Zhengyi, the hero of Xiangyang. On his left sat two people, a fat man in brocade clothes and a middle-aged man. The fat man in the brocade suit is Zhang Hanlin of Yunxi Zhi County, and the middle-aged man is Qin Xiaotian. On Zhao Zhengyi's right hand sat three people, in turn, a man in a green shirt, a Confucian in brocade and a middle-aged man. The man in the green shirt is Qi Yuanshan, the lieutenant of Yunxi County. Jinyi Confucian is Tang Qing, a descendant of the Tang family in Shu. The middle-aged man is also a member of the Tang Sect, named Tang Dayong, and has been to the Chuxin Restaurant.
Zhao Zhengyi looked at Qin Xiaotian and asked, "Brother Qin, how is the situation today?"
Qin Xiaotian said in a deep voice: "Brother Li and I have carefully observed that person, maybe he is not an ordinary person, but it is impossible for him to have peerless martial arts. Speaking of this, he smiled and continued: "His home-cooked side dishes are really extraordinary!"
Tang Dayong snorted lightly and said coldly: "Home-cooked side dishes are good, but the wine is playing tricks." ”
Zhao Zhengyi frowned slightly, looked at the other three again, and muttered, "What do the three of you think?"
Tang Qing shook the folding fan lightly and said leisurely: "Let Lord Qi take a look." ”
Hearing this, Qi Yuanshan's face was embarrassed.
Zhang Hanlin hurriedly said: "Once that person is really Yanshan, Yuanshan will definitely die." What's more, if the General's Mansion finds out, the two of us will not be able to escape death. ”
Tang Qing smiled indifferently and said no more.
Zhao Zhengyi was about to speak.
Qin Xiaotian smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have invited that person to a banquet at Brother Zhao's mansion three days later, and when the time comes, Lord Qi only needs to observe in the dark." ”
Qi Yuanshan said: "Send someone to arrest those two children again, just in case." ”
Zhao Zhengyi couldn't help laughing and said, "That's very good!"
At this time, Tang Qing seemed to think of something, and asked casually, "Gang Master Qin, is there any news in the General's Mansion?"
Qin Xiaotian muttered: "For more than a month, the General's Mansion has been in and out, and there is no news at all. ”
Tang Qing couldn't help frowning and said, "Gongzi Qin has sent news that General Zhang has asked the emperor for an order, and there is no mistake with Qin Xiangye's secret help." In as few as seven days, as many as ten days, General Zhang will come with a holy decree. There is no room for error, and we must prepare for the worst. ”
As soon as these words came out, there was silence.
After a long time, Qin Xiaotian muttered, "I hope Brother Lin has succeeded." ”
Zhao Zhengyi muttered: "Once we make a move, we will have no way out. ”
Tang Qing chuckled lightly and said lightly: "Those who achieve great things will become benevolent if they don't succeed." ”
There was silence again.
After a while, Zhao Zhengyi said softly: "It's late at night, everyone should rest early!"
In the front yard, on a willow tree, Yan Shan has been listening attentively. He hadn't heard the full story of the conversation in the house, but he could vaguely guess who they were. The Tang Sect in Shuzhong, the poison hidden weapon is unparalleled in the world. He didn't make a move, just because he was not sure that he would retreat in front of the master of the Tang Sect.
Six figures walked through the corridor, walked through the garden gate, and walked towards the backyard.
Suddenly, Yan Shan was aware of it, turned his head to look, and saw a black shadow swept out of the wall, as fast as a ghost. Without hesitation, he jumped and followed.
In an alley, the dark shadow suddenly stopped.
Yan Shan also stopped his figure.
After a moment of silence, the black shadow said lightly, "Why do you want to follow me?"
It was a woman, and the voice seemed to have been heard somewhere. It turned out to be her. Yan Shan smiled slightly and asked softly, "When will you start?"
The black shadow said lightly: "Three days later." ”
Yan Shan clenched his fists slightly and said casually: "Thank you!"
The black shadow hummed softly, unfolded again, and disappeared in an instant.
A new day came as scheduled, and Chuxin Restaurant was open as usual.
As usual, Han Yi patronized, scrambled eggs with green onions, old vinegar peanuts, a pot of worry-free wine, and never got tired of eating for a long time.
Gradually, new customers came to eat, but only scattered.
Another day, Han Yi patronized, but he came together with a man in white. This boy in white is Liang Xing.
When they met again, Yan Shan and Liang Xing were very indifferent, just looking at each other and smiling.
After a while, the food and drinks are served.
Han Yi said casually: "Boss, there are no other customers in the store at this time, why don't you sit down and have a drink together?"
"Then it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate. Yan Shan smiled indifferently and then sat down.
Han Yi smiled lightly: "He is my cousin Liang Xing, presumably the two have known each other for a long time." ”
"Brother Liang!"
"Brother Yan!"
A brother, everything is in plain sight.
Three glasses of wine in one drink.
Only then did Yan Shan say softly: "Brother Liang, I have something to trust. ”
Liang Xingwan smiled, as if everything was expected.
Yan Shan hugged his fists at Han Yiwei and said with a wry smile: "Brother Han has a heart." ”
Liang Xing sighed lightly and said slowly: "Although I also want to go to Zhao Mansion to see the excitement, I also understand the priorities. Brother Yan, with me here, you can rest assured!"
Yan Shan showed a look of gratitude, and said in a deep voice: "The dark tide in Xiangyang City is surging, Brother Liang must be careful!"
Han Yi glanced at Liang Xing and chuckled: "My cousin is a bit stupid, but he has also fought on the battlefield with me, and he will be fine." ”
Hearing this, Liang Xing cut lightly.
Yan Shan couldn't cry or laugh.
