After drinking more than a dozen pots of wine, Gongsun Xuan said quietly: "Last time I went back to the helm to ask for guilt, the helmsman didn't say anything. However, a bitch beside the helmsman fanned the flames again and again, and demoted me to the incense master, and she instead sat in the seat of the hall master. ”

Dong Ping smiled when he heard this: "It's a man to endure humiliation and burden, and with the intelligence of the senior brother of Shangguan, I'm afraid that I won't be able to rise in the future." ”

Gongsun Xuan smiled bitterly: "I don't care about the position of the hall master incense master, the key is that I have also served in the rudder for many years, and it is not as good as a woman's words." What's even more infuriating is that those subordinates of mine in the past are now on the same level as me, and they are eager to step on my feet. ”

When Dong Ping heard this, he asked, "Oh? Does Brother Gongsun recognize Hong Shanquan?"

"I recognize, that person used to be my subordinate incense master, and the relationship is still good. What did he offend Brother Dong?" Gongsun Xuan sighed.

"Two days ago he lost some money in his field. Dong Ping said with a smile.

Gongsun Xuan waved his hand disapprovingly and said, "Brother Dong contacted me this time, why did you do so?"

Dong Ping said with a straight face: "Brother Gongsun has heard of the recent murder of the students of Luyue Academy?"

Gongsun Xuan nodded and pondered for a moment and said, "I've heard a little, Brother Dong came here today to ask me where those assassins came from, right?"

"Exactly. After Dong Ping finished speaking, he continued: "If it weren't for the fact that I was almost killed yesterday, I wouldn't have come to beg Brother Gongsun." ”

Hearing this, Gongsun Xuan slapped the table and said: "What Brother Dong is talking about, we are also a lifelong friendship, and you can see the outside world when you say this!"

"It's my brother, no, I'll punish myself with three cups. Dong Ping smiled and drank three glasses of turbid wine before Gongsun Xuan spoke: "I have also heard a little about that group of people, I wonder if you can know about the back knife door?"

Xiao Shanming, who was silent on the side, suddenly spoke: "Back the Sword Gate, the tenth sect in the rivers and lakes, its master Xu Jianke has the reputation of the Sword Emperor. ”

Gongsun Xuan nodded and said, "What this good man said is true. ”

Dong Ping was puzzled: "How can the Back Knife Gate have anything to do with the assassin?"

Gongsun Xuan said: "There is a secret in this, when Xu Jianke killed people and practiced swords, I don't know how many sects he overturned and how many masters he killed. But at that time, the old master of the back knife door was terminally ill and would die soon. Although Xu Jianke is a sword madman, he is also a loyal and filial person. Before his death, the old master sent a message to Xu Jianke asking him to come back to inherit the position of the master of the door, and he came back. But at that time, Xu Jianke's knife path was one step away from being able to participate in the cultivation, but Xu Jianke, who inherited the master of the door, was no longer alone, and his style of action had to be considered for the back of the knife door, and it was impossible to go out to make enemies. So he set his sights on his junior brother, who was also a peerless swordsman.

When his junior brother had already sensed Xu Jianke's thoughts, he took a group of fellow disciples out of the Back Knife Gate. Later, for some reason, his junior brother disappeared from the rivers and lakes, and the same family that came out with him switched to the Mo family in Suzhou. ”

"The Mo family..."Dong Ping pondered for a moment and said: "Is the Mo family the Mo family who owns 100,000 acres of fertile land in Suzhou?"

Gongsun Xuan said with a smile: "Brother Dong doesn't know much about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, but he is clear about the rich gentry. But Brother Dong was only half right, the predecessor of the Mo family was also a Jianghu sect, but later the master of the sect retired to the rivers and lakes to start a business. But now the Mo family has also had contacts with the major sects in the rivers and lakes, and many chivalrous warriors in the rivers and lakes have received help from the Mo family. The popularity of the Mo family in the rivers and lakes is also not bad. ”

Dong Ping said: "Those who switched to the Mo family's back knife sect were trained by them to become assassins?"

"I don't know, but there is no doubt that the identity of those assassins is indeed the backslasher. Gongsun Xuan said.

After a few people chatted and drank a few more glasses, Gongsun Xuan left. After he left, Dong Ping's face sank, and Lin Sanchuan said: "Son, Gongsun Xuan's words can be believed." ”

Dong Ping stretched out his hand and said, "Five points, because he only said five points." ”

Xiao Shanming opened his mouth and said: "This person is your friend, you will inevitably mess up your thoughts." I can only believe three points of his words, and there are half-truths and half-truths in these three points. ”

"Oh, what is Xiao Haohan's opinion?" Dong Ping asked with a smile.

"I've also heard about the Mo family. You don't know that the Mo family not only helped the people in the rivers and lakes, but even provided financial support for the Liao army when it entered the Song Dynasty. Xiao Shanming said in a deep voice.

Lin Sanchuan next to him slapped the table and shouted: "It turns out that the Mo family and the Liao people are a nest of snakes and rats!" But after finishing speaking, he glanced at Xiao Shanming and felt that it was inappropriate, so he muttered in a low voice: "It turned out to be the lackeys of the Liao people." ”

Xiao Shanming's face didn't change much, and Dong Ping said thoughtfully: "You mean, the Fu clan wants to plant this matter to the Mo family to attack the Liao people?"

"Maybe. Xiao Shanming nodded.

The early morning was slightly cool, and the store was already deserted.

The young man cleaned up the table and was puzzled: "Grandpa, I saw that they called each other brothers when they drank together, why did they start to be suspicious of each other as soon as they dispersed?"

The old man sat on a chair and smoked a dry cigarette, squeezing the wrinkles of his face together, and said with a smile: "It's tiring to live like this, but it must live a long time." Little wolf, your mind is too pure, you should learn to move your eyes. Otherwise, when grandpa leaves, you will be bullied every day. ”

The boy grinned and said, "Then I'll be a short-lived ghost." ”

The old man hurriedly spat three times in a row, and scolded with a gloomy face: "Nonsense!"

The people of Luyue Academy are unstable now, and the students of the Martial Arts Academy are fine, but the students of the Women's Academy don't even dare to go out of their residence now. Except for the green beads sitting on the wall swinging her legs, this quirky little girl grinned and said when she saw Dong Ping and the three of them walking towards the academy: "Big poisonous snake, is my sleeve arrow easy to use?"

Lin Sanchuan roared: "You are a dead girl, you gave my son-in-law a defective product, and almost killed him!"

Lu Zhu stuck out his tongue and said, "A bunch of good ones, why did he pick two bad ones, big poisonous snake!"

Dong Ping smiled and said earnestly: "Sanchuan, you are also a big man and three coarse, what do you have to worry about with a little girl?"

Lin Sanchuan snorted when he heard this, and then stopped talking.

Lu Zhu raised his head and said, "Hmph, big poisonous snake, don't think that I don't know what bad ideas you're fighting." ”

Dong Ping was about to reply to her, but Xiao Shanming said in a deep voice: "It's better to go to see Superintendent Lu first." Dong Ping nodded, and then someone shouted: "Luzhu, what are you doing sitting on it, come down quickly!"

When the three of them heard the voice, it turned out to be Feng Yushu.

Lu Zhu made a grimace, turned over and jumped off the wall to hide behind Feng Yushu and said to Dong Ping: "Big poisonous snake, this is my newly recognized eldest brother, if you dare to bully me, I will let him beat you." ”

Feng Yushu smiled helplessly at Dong Ping: "This Luzhu's father and father are old friends, and I only found out yesterday." If there is anything that offends you in the green beads, please bear with me. ”

"Little Green Bead is very clever and cute, even if she does something wrong, how can I, an uncle, blame him?" Dong Ping said with a faint smile.

Feng Yushu also remembered that Dong Ping was a few years older than himself, how could he bully a little girl. However, Lu Zhu looked at Dong Ping's rather kind smile, and couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body.

In Lu Liangmeng's house, he carefully pondered the news that Dong Ping brought back, and after a while, Lu Liangmeng said in a low voice: "No matter what, the Mo family has to go in person." ”

Dong Ping said: "The teacher is unknown, but it is abrupt. ”

Lu Liangmeng immediately waved his hand and said: "Our Luyue Academy and the Mo family have always been friends, and in the twenty-third day it will be the birthday of the old man of the Mo family, and we can go in the name of worshipping Shou." You go first, and I'll go and ask the dean. ”

After Dong Ping went out of Lu Liangmeng's residence, he left the academy straight and walked towards Yanlin's mansion. Yanlin Mansion was full of people, and Dong Ping strode in and no one stopped him. As soon as he entered, he heard someone shouting to him: "Dong Gongzi, I haven't seen you for a few days, okay?"

Dong Ping sighed and said: "Master Dong, I have really had a bad year recently, and this unfortunate thing has been relied on me one after another." ”

Dong Weichang handed a stack of books in his hand to the little official next to him and said: "I also heard about Dong Gongzi's distress in Linxian River a while ago, but Dong Gongzi is a great disaster has passed, and there will be a blessing in the future." ”

Dong Ping nodded and agreed: "What the master said is that I was rescued by Zhang Fuyin last time, and this time I came to thank Zhang Fuyin, I don't know if Fu Yin can be in the ya?"

"Today, Fu Yin and Li Ye went to the half-barrage ditch to fish, the half-barrage ditch is quite far away from the city, Dong Gongzi is still waiting for ......" Dong Weichang didn't finish his words, and Dong Ping had already pulled out his legs and walked out.

Yanzhou is mountainous, but not as handsome as the southern mountains, most of the northern mountains are some majestic and upright mountains, not handsome and strange, more majestic and towering. The so-called half-ditch is a waterfall pouring down from the deep mountains, and the waterfall flows into a river. The river flows out of the mountain, but it is suddenly blocked by a huge fan-shaped stone wall that protrudes from the ground, and converges into a lake, such a strange situation.

When Dong Ping rented a big horse and came to Banbangou, he saw Zhang Boxiong sitting and fishing by the lake at a glance. Zhang Boxiong seemed to have known that Dong Ping would come, and he didn't look back and whispered: "Walk lightly, don't scare the fish away." Dong Ping squatted by the lake and washed his hands, and suddenly picked up a stone and threw it into the lake.

Zhang Boxiong hurriedly pulled up the fishing rod and said, "What are you doing!"

Dong Ping smiled and said, "You have been fishing here for a long time, and the fish basket is empty." But your hands are wet and you smell fishy. This means that you have released all the fish you caught, and since you are not fishing for food, then why leave a scar on the mouth of those fish. I am also doing a good deed to save them from your poisonous hands. ”

Zhang Boxiong suddenly laughed: "Although you are smart, you are too smart, you look to the right." ”

When Dong Ping heard this, he saw a wooden frame supported more than a dozen zhang away, and under the wooden frame were burned firewood ashes and scattered fish bones. "At noon, when he was hungry, he roasted the fish he caught and ate it. The fish in this lake are fat and thornless. If you hadn't thrown a stone just now, maybe I'd have given you a few to try. Zhang Boxiong shook the rod and said.

Although Dong Ping's face did not change, he changed the topic and said: "Yan Lin is making trouble with assassins, but your Mansion Yin is still fishing here with leisure and leisure, I don't know whether to say that you have a big heart or are derelict in your duties." ”

Zhang Boxiong said noncommittally: "Don't talk nonsense, if you are looking for Li Bandit, he will be at the waterfall in the mountain." Dong Ping stood up a little deflated, and I have to say that Zhang Boxiong's old ginger is really spicy.
