Chapter 5 Southwest County Division

I don't know how long he flew over the lake, even if it was the depth of Zijing's skills, he also felt a little tired, so he simply sank into the water, although he was not good at water, but he held his breath, sank in the water, and floated with heavy loads, but he was also quite comfortable, in fact, according to Zijing's mood, he hoped to go directly to Qixingwu to see if Shuangjue was still there. It's just that even if he doesn't understand the world, he is not stupid, and he knows that in the past ten days, Luo Chengyu will definitely not let go of the double, thinking that most of the people in Qixingwu have already gone to the empty building, but there are still people, most of them are also the people left by Luo Chengyu, looking forward to the possibility of him returning to Qixingwu. So he won't go to this Seven Star Dock, not to mention that he has long been lost now, and he doesn't know where he is, how can he find Seven Star Dock?

I don't know how long I floated in the water, after waking up from my contemplation, Zi Jing felt a little bored, under the sun, the lake water around her was clear and transparent, almost bottoming out, all kinds of swimming fish around her shuttled back and forth, Zi Jing was calm at the moment, almost in the wonderful realm of the unity of heaven and man, those swimming fish did not notice the difference around them at all, almost regarded Zi Jing as the same kind, just shuttled and frolicked around him. Zijing's eyes flashed, and he saw a red carp passing in front of his eyes, with a mischievous smile on his lips, and suddenly reached out to catch the fishtail, although it was in the water, but his elbow movement was not good, and the fish did not know that the crisis was coming, especially to shake his head and tail to swim forward. Unexpectedly, just when Zi Jing's finger touched the tail of the fish, the water droplets suddenly appeared, Zi Jing frowned slightly, and let the frightened carp slip away from his hand, staring at the past, but two small boats were coming opposite each other. Zi Jing didn't want to be seen, so he dived down with luck, and the two boats almost met above his head, and just as they were about to collide, one of them rowed through an arc and stopped side by side with the other.

Zijing was a little troubled in her heart, and she was about to sneak away secretly, but her body just moved, but a brave voice came from her ear: "Mr. Ming summoned him today, but for the assassination of His Royal Highness the Prince?"

Then a clear voice said: "That's right, although His Royal Highness the Prince has left Yueyang, but he has left a secret envoy to investigate this matter, Ming Mou is in charge of the Southwest County Division, and he is the first to bear the brunt, I have been temporarily removed from office yesterday, and I will be punished after the matter is clear." ”

The rough voice said: "In this case, Lord Sima should be obscure, why do you want to come to see He, once this matter is leaked, you and I are mortal crimes, He is worried about how to deal with the above investigation, how can Mr. Ming come to add to the chaos, not to mention the secret envoy, even I am not clear about this engagement, obviously He is already among the suspects, at this time Mr. Ming came to meet, wouldn't he be in the net." ”

Mr. Na Ming smiled: "Don't worry, I have asked people to pretend to be me to study in the study, and today I can still hide it, although the secret envoy has taken over the power in my hands, but the spies here are all selected by me, they will not betray me, today is just for you, I want you to find a way to get out, otherwise once the incident is leaked, not only will you and I be killed, but even the king will inevitably be implicated. ”

The man hesitated and said: "Master Sima, what can I do, I didn't think about this matter well, and the people sent to coerce the assassin are all my henchmen, and now they have disappeared inexplicably, after all, they can't be hidden." ”

Mr. Na Ming said with a smile: "There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, what are you worried about, I already have a way to do this, what kind of wine Brother He drinks, fragrant and mouth-watering." ”

The man smiled and said: "Lord Sima is still so temperamental, he can't take a step when he sees the good wine, but I am a thirty-year-old Du Kang wine, and one of my subordinates honored me yesterday, which is very rare." Here you go. ”

Zi Jing looked through the water, a shadow swept through the gap between the two boats, although he only saw the outline in the sun, but Zi Jing knew that this was a wine gourd, although he couldn't see the two people who spoke, but Zi Jing had already heard the identities of the two, these two people were people who had been seen in Yueyang Tower, he could see the free and easy demeanor of the man in the Confucian shirt who took the wine gourd, and he could also see the fisherman's dress, but it was the reflection of the majestic man.

At this time, there was a sound like drinking Changhong in his ears, and the heartache of the big man said: "Drink less, there is not much left." ”

Then the man in the Confucian shirt threw the wine gourd back, and the big man took it, as if he couldn't resist the temptation of the wine, and drank a few sips, then covered the stopper, and said: "What is the way Lord Sima, is it to let He escape from Yueyang immediately, or to cheat to death and get out?"

The man in the Confucian shirt smiled calmly and said, "There is no need to be so troublesome, as long as your brother He dies here, no one will find out that this matter has anything to do with the king." ”

The big man seemed to have expected it, and he was not angry, and sneered: "It turns out that Mr. Ming is here to kill people and kill people, you have a good idea, I can't wash this matter anymore, since His Royal Highness the Prince has taken Shuangjue away, he naturally knows the scene that night, and he can find a hidden painting boat in Dongting Lake, if it weren't for the Junshan Gang, it would be impossible for a force like the Junshan Gang." Ning Junshou put pressure on the boss of the Shangguan gang to track down the mysterious missing people in the gang, although I temporarily perfunctory the past, saying that my henchmen were going to do something, but I couldn't hide it for long. Once the incident is leaked, not to mention that the Shangguan Gang Master will not let me go, a traitor with different ambitions, even His Royal Highness the Prince will never let me go. If I don't die, I tell the truth, and let His Highness know that He Mou did such a stupid thing because of your Ming Shulian's edict, I will inevitably die, but you, Mr. Ming, the dignified Lord Sima of the Southwest County Division of the Military Intelligence Department, will not be able to protect your life, but it is no wonder that you want to kill me. But Mr. Ming, are you confident that you can kill me?"

Mr. Na Ming sighed: "This is also a last resort, Ming's net worth is worth something, but my position is the king's own life, once involved in the conspiracy to assassinate His Royal Highness the prince, not to mention my life, even the lives of all the brothers of the Southwest County Division may not be able to be saved, after you die, I can perfunctory past, Brother He, you are not a Youji person, if you are a spy of other families, it can also be said, but this is Ming is sorry for you, His Royal Highness the Prince has always been generous and benevolent, I will ask him to pardon your wife and children." ”

The big man laughed sadly and said: "Okay, good, He has been in your favor for nine years, but you are still an outsider, no wonder Ming Shulian handed over this kind of head-killing thing to me to do, but it was to blame others, poor my second brother, dedicated to the Lord, at the cost of dying and fame, but ended up in such a fate, the Military Intelligence Department has a person like you in charge, and it is no wonder that in recent years, the Suzaku Division has been pressed to raise his head." It's just that you want to kill people, but you may not be able to do it. ”

When Zi Jing heard this, he dived into the distance like a swimming fish, stretched his head out of the water and looked at the lake, only to see the two standing facing each other, Ming Shulian's originally gentle face had a faint sneering smile, and the big man in the fisherman's costume was even more murderous, although both of them stood still, but the two boats that were originally fixed in the middle of the lake were gradually moving away. Almost at the moment when Zi Jing came out of the water, the light boat under the big man's feet suddenly flew out like an arrow from the string, although it was only a rudder with one hand, but the small boat was swimming back and forth like a fish, watching the enemy's movements. And the solemn and serious Confucian Ming Shulian stood on the boat with his hands on the boat at the moment, and he didn't see him operating the boat, the boat swayed and moved in the direction, but the bow of the boat was always facing the big man, this kind of almost divine means of controlling the boat, if outsiders see it, I am afraid that Ming Shulian is the helmsman of the Junshan Gang.

Cold sweat trickled down the big man's head, his steel teeth clenched, and finally shouted loudly, urging the boat to rush up, only to see his momentum of no return, he knew that he was already holding the heart of the same end, just when the two boats were about to approach, the big man had an extra thorn in his hand, and the wind scattered, stabbing at Ming Shulian's heart.

Ming Shulian suddenly raised his head, a pair of eyes with cold light, silver rainbow flashed, has pulled out the sword at his waist, his saber appearance is very gorgeous, but it looks a little fluttering, others see most of them think that it is just an unopened scholar sword, but just look at the sword burst, you know that the sword under the gorgeous appearance is actually a rare sword, I heard dozens of clanging in my ears, and the sword shadow is cold and shining. Zi Jing's pupils contracted suddenly, because he suddenly saw the body of the big man who was originally violently attacking suddenly trembled, and at the moment when he revealed his flaws, the silver rainbow penetrated into his chest, and the two of them stood still for a moment.

The big man said sharply: "Ming Shulian, you use poison!"

Ming Shulian smiled and said: "You think I took the opportunity to drink and poisoned the wine, so you pretended to drink a few sips, but they all poured into the lake, how could it be so obvious if Ming wanted to poison, but I smeared the poison on the gourd, but after you took it, you took it in your hand for a long time, and the toxicity took the opportunity to go deeper, although the effect was slower, but it was still in time." ”

The big man's face turned blue, the poison attack and the pain of the sword in his chest made him look hideous, and the loose hair kept shaking when his body trembled, making him look more and more fierce, but Ming Shulian was still calm, he slowly drew his sword, careful not to let the blood splash on his shirt. When he drew his sword, the big man's body could no longer support it, and he fell on top of the boat.

Ming Shulian showed a faint smile on his face, put his sword back into the sheath, and said: "Brother He, don't blame me for being ruthless, if there is no scapegoat of you, how can I explain to His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, alas, Ming is unfortunate, so that the Southwest County Division is mixed with the Tang family's spies, although I have long been suspicious, but you are deeply valued by the King of Yan, I was overlooked for a while, so His Royal Highness the Prince was assassinated in Yueyang, which is also reasonable." Although my power will definitely not be guaranteed in the future, I want to see that His Royal Highness will not take my life from the king!"

When he said the last sentence, Ming Shulian's originally clear face showed a strange smile, as if he had done something very proud, and then he laughed loudly, the more he laughed, the more cheerful he became, and the laughter penetrated the water like a sharp blade, and countless swimming fish in the water fled in panic, and some of them were shocked by laughter and turned their bellies. Ming Shulian is using a secret technique to probe whether there is a latent eyeliner around, even if it is in the middle of the lake that is difficult for others to approach, he is still so cautious and cautious, no wonder he can serve as the important task of the military intelligence department, but his "soul searching smile" is powerful, but it is not of much use to people whose martial arts are higher than him, Zi Jing heard the laughter in his ears, but it was just a palpitation in his heart, and then it had no effect, but his heart was unparalleled in the world, if he changed others, he was afraid that it would be difficult to continue to hide his whereabouts.

Ming Shulian saw that he didn't startle anyone, and his heart was also relieved, although he tried his best to meet this big man surnamed He secretly, avoiding the eyes and ears of outsiders, he was still worried that there would be uninvited guests passing by accident, and at this moment he felt that today's matter would not leak out. He jumped onto the boat that the big man was driving, and his right foot was light, and the boat split apart in an instant, carrying the big man's body and sinking downward.

Then jumped back to his light boat, and was about to drive the boat away, but Ming Shulian suddenly felt an incomparable chill behind him, as if there was a piece of thousand-year-old Xuan Ice standing behind his neck, his body moved slightly, and he was about to draw his sword, but a wisp of true qi gently brushed on his wrist, he only felt that the strength of his right hand was lost, and he felt that every movement around his body was in the eyes of the person behind him, the person's blazing eyes were staring at him tightly, Ming Shulian only felt like a mang on his back, for a long time, Ming Shulian sighed, gave up all resistance, and said gloomily: "Who is Your Excellency?" Can you tell Ming? ”

A cold voice came from behind him and said, "This seat is from the Yanshan guard, Mr. Ming should know my identity, are you guilty?"

Ming Shulian's heart was shocked, and his heart was flooded with the handsome image of the messenger, and the voice could be changed, but although that person's martial arts were clever, he should not have such attainments, and he could play with himself in the palm of his hand, and he couldn't help but be suspicious, and he asked tentatively: " It turned out that the messenger came in person, Ming was guilty, and asked the messenger to see that Ming had been in charge of the Southwest County Division for many years, and forgave Ming a certain time, this time the assassination of His Royal Highness the Prince of the World was not Ming's original intention, but the king's secret decree, and asked the messenger to see the old friendship between you and me, and convey Shu Lian's allegiance to His Royal Highness the prince. ”

The man behind him said lightly: "You recognize the wrong person, I am not the messenger you said, and I have no old friends with you, this time I was ordered to escort His Highness south, but I didn't expect to see His Highness assassinated, which really made my Tiangu lose face, and now Meng Lao and Brother Lian can't come forward, so as not to be noticed by the King of Dian, so I took action in person, but I didn't expect to watch a good show on Dongting Lake." ”

Ming Shulian only felt a huge shock in his heart, listening to this person's tone is also a member of the Yanshan Guardian Heavenly Group, originally he suspected such a thing, His Royal Highness the Prince would not only send a ground group guard to investigate, it turned out that the messenger was just a disguise, thinking that the real secret envoy was the person behind him, thinking that the people of the Yanshan Guardian Heavenly Group all had the right to make decisions on the spot, Ming Shulian only felt cold sweat dripping, and almost collapsed to the ground.

Behind him, Zi Jing also breathed a sigh of relief, after he secretly heard everything, he only felt that this Ming Shulian was very hateful, and even instructed the big man surnamed He to coerce him to assassinate Luo Chengyu, he didn't know in his heart whether he hated these people more for plotting to coerce him, or hated them more for wanting to assassinate Luo Chengyu, but in any case, he had to find out clearly, he was originally not interested in the affairs of Youji, but when he thought that it was about him, he was unwilling to let it go gently. I don't know what kind of psychology he had, he didn't want to meet Ming Shulian with his true face, so he thought of fabricating an identity.

He is almost completely ignorant of the world, and the only organization that can be impersonated by some impressions is the Yanshan guard, so he deliberately pretended to be the guard of the Heavenly Group, because he felt that he was higher than Meng Shuhe's martial arts without a trace, and he couldn't be presumptuous, but he didn't know that it was in line with Ming Shulian's thoughts, coupled with the martial arts he revealed, it was enough to kill and take away and do whatever he wanted, which also made Ming Shulian have no other ideas, and he didn't expect this person to be pretending to be a Yanshan guard.

felt that Ming Shulian had succumbed, but Zi Jing was embarrassed again, he didn't know how to interrogate, this silence made Ming Shulian mistakenly think that the secret envoy had fully known the truth, and was thinking about how to deal with him, so he hurriedly said: "My lord Mingjian, Shu Lian also acted on orders, the king's order did not dare to disobey, Yanshan guards are also one of the king's personal guards, and adults should also understand Ming's difficulties." ”

Seeing that he had succumbed, Zi Jing wanted to interrogate him, but after thinking about it, he reluctantly asked, "Why did you coerce outsiders to assassinate the prince, and what does Chen San and his wife have to do with you?"

Although Ming Shulian felt that the pressure behind him was getting heavier and heavier, but he could be the Sima of the Southwest County Division, and naturally he was not a person who gave in easily, after thinking for a while, he said cautiously: "His Royal Highness can't use the people of the Southwest County Division, and his subordinates saw that Zijing in Yueyang Tower with strong martial arts, even Yan Zishuang didn't dare to take him lightly, so he wanted to buy and coerce him, as for Chen San and his wife, they were secret spies directly under the Military Intelligence Department, and later transferred to the Southwest County Division." This time, in order to hold Shuangjue hostage, his subordinates had to use them. He secretly downplayed the fact that the Military Intelligence Department was monitoring Mr. Qingjue, but he knew the power of Yanshan's guards deeply, but he didn't dare to tell some lies, and only dared to avoid the important and light.

Where could Zijing hear the mystery in his words, but he intuitively felt that what this person said was a little dishonest, but he couldn't think of how to ask for the truth, and then remembered the secret confession method of the master, so he said coldly: "What you said is not true, it seems that you don't need to be punished, you will not confess." After saying that, he pointed to Ming Shulian in a few ****, and Ming Shulian suddenly felt that the strange pain slowly spread from his back to his body, but in a moment, Ming Shulian had already fallen on the boat with a scream, his elbows touched the deck, and Ming Shulian wanted to turn over to see the appearance of the person behind him, which was also the reason why he deliberately reacted violently, otherwise this sudden pain could not make him succumb immediately. But his body was just about to flip, and someone had stepped on his back, Ming Shulian was a little disappointed in his heart, but in an instant, his consciousness was drowned by the sharp pain that frequently hit him like waves, and the original familiar true qi became like a steel needle raging and circling in his body, he could feel that his meridians seemed to be broken inch by inch, and there was incomparable despair in his heart, this person was forcing his internal force to disperse, who does not value his true qi more than life, Ming Shulian almost roared and begged for mercy:" The messenger spared his life, and the Lord made me assassinate His Royal Highness the Prince of the World was General Zhiwu Yu Wei. ”

Zijing was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect this person to say such a thing, originally he already believed that it was King Yan who made this person assassinate Luo Chengyu, but he didn't expect that there would be a Zhiwu general. Seeing that the man behind him was still silent, Ming Shulian only said that he didn't believe his words, and hissed again: "General Zhiwu was punished and severely punished by the prince, and he has a deep grudge, and his subordinates also deeply hate His Royal Highness the prince for reusing the Suzaku Division under the jurisdiction of Fengtai Pavilion and ignoring the Military Intelligence Division, so he was bribed by General Yu with a lot of money, pretending to be ordered by the king, and plotting to assassinate the prince." Today, after I kill people and kill people, I will cheat death and get out, and push this matter on the king, and His Royal Highness will not dare to continue to investigate. When he said the last few words, he was already in unbearable pain, but because he stepped on the quilt, he couldn't struggle, so he could only hold the deck tightly with both hands, and between the frictions, his ten fingers were already blurred with blood.

Zi Jing understood it, and with a finger in the air, Ming Shulian only felt that the original raging and chaotic true qi flowed into the meridians like a hundred rivers returning to the stream, becoming gentle and calm, and the originally damaged meridians gradually recovered like the rejuvenation of the earth. Ming Shulian looked inward for a moment, only to know that although the meridians were somewhat damaged, there was no sign of damage and breakage, and it only took a few months of recuperation to recover, only then did he know that what the person used was just a method of coercing confessions, which gave birth to the illusion of scattering gong, this illusion was enough to make any person who practiced martial arts feel frightened, that is, he could support the fear at that time, and after the enemy stopped using torture, the fear would slowly invade his heart, and he would never dare to disobey again, lest he really encounter the desperate situation of scattering gong. At this time, if that person asked himself what secrets he had, Ming Shulian felt that he no longer had the courage to conceal and prevaricate. Thinking that he had leaked his true feelings, His Royal Highness King Yan and His Royal Highness the Prince learned that he had deliberately provoked a dispute between the two, and he would definitely be unable to escape death, he felt that the strength of his whole body had been lost, and he lay on the deck, and no longer had the idea of getting up and struggling.

Zijing looked at Ming Shulian who collapsed on the boat, frowned slightly, and said in his heart, such a character turned out to be Youji's subordinate, and he was annoyed in his heart, since he already knew the truth, he didn't want to pretend to be Yanshan's guard anymore, stretched out his foot to turn Ming Shulian over, and said coldly: "Now that Luo Chengyu has left Yueyang, is Shuangjue going with him?"

Ming Shulian looked up to the sky, his eyes fell on Zijing's face, and he was stunned, a pair of eyes almost protruded the sockets, and what fell into his eyes was a young man in a white brocade robe, his clothes were soaked, his clothes were soaked, his black hair was scattered, although his appearance was a little embarrassed, but his deep and cold eyes, and his delicate and upright face, all made Ming Shulian immediately recognize his identity, and he immediately understood that this person could never be a member of the Yanshan guards, and the Yanshan guards would never betray Youji, let alone assassinate His Royal Highness, he was forced to confess so easily, just because he thought that Zijing was the Yanshan guard, and against his own people, his resistance was much worse, if he knew that he was not a colleague of Youji, or he was really scattered, he would not be so easy to confess.

Thinking that he had let outsiders know about the internal strife in Youji, an uncontrollable anger arose in his heart, Ming Shulian stood up, at this moment his right hand had regained its strength, and in the snap of his fingers, the silver rainbow burst out, he used all his strength, his body and sword were one, and he attacked Zijing. Doubts flashed in Zijing's eyes, and he shot back, the sword palms intersected, the sword was like a dragon, the palm wind was like thunder, and there was a loud bang, Ming Shulian's body was shocked and flew out, and Zijing's true qi was devastating and the earthquake broke the meridians of Ming Shulian's body. When Ming Shulian's body was immersed in the lake, he saw his sword swirling and falling a few feet away, he reluctantly raised his head and looked at Zijing fiercely, his eyes full of raging anger.

Somehow, Zi Jing suddenly realized, only to feel that his heart shook, and he looked at Ming Shulian fixedly, he said words that he thought he would never say in this life, and said indifferently: "My name is Yang Ning, Your Highness the Ninth Yang Ning, you can die blindly." As soon as these words came out, I suddenly felt that the breeze and moon were clear in my heart, and even the qi was smooth, and the troubles and depression of Fang Cai had disappeared without a trace unconsciously.

Full of anger turned into surprise, Ming Shulian looked at the lonely and arrogant young man in a daze, and gradually blurred his vision seemed to see the scene he saw on the battlefield in the past again, the heroic posture of dancing for nine days, the offensive in full swing, and endless remorse in his heart, how could he fall into the conspiracy of splitting the secession because of his selfishness, struggling to reach out, trying to hold something. Then he realized that someone had pulled him up by the collar so that he would not continue to sink into the water, and he could even feel the man's breathing, and he did his best to shout: "Be careful of Yu Wei, there is someone behind him, Your Highness, don't forget that you are also a part of Youji." He didn't know that his roar was long since inaudible, and the infinite darkness came rushing in, and he lost all consciousness.

Letting go of his hand and looking at Ming Shulian's gradually sinking corpse, Zi Jing only felt empty in his heart, this rebellious man who was originally just a greedy and fearful of death in his opinion, was still thinking about Youji before he died, did that land really have infinite charm, let his mother and relatives think about it for a long time, and they all want to return to their homeland, so that such a traitor with bad intentions will still be deeply forgotten before he dies. Eyes gradually raised, looking at the sky in the distance, Zi Jing only felt that there was no more confusion in her heart, no matter how to escape, she couldn't change the facts, she was Yang Ning, Yang Ning, who had a deep blood feud between the two families, in this case, why should she deceive herself, so what does it matter if she admits her identity.
