At the foot of Wu'an Mountain, in the fishing village, Wei Yan's hometown is revisited. Looking at the busy figure, there is inexplicably a sense of familiarity, things are not people, and there is infinite nostalgia.

Zhang Qichao was a newcomer, and he was surprised that the small village was so lively. I accidentally saw Wei Yan's emotional expression and asked, "It seems that this is not the first time that the lady has come here." ”

Wei Yan sighed: "Yes, the first time I ran away from home, I came here. Time flies so fast, and in the blink of an eye, it is not what it was yesterday. Li Zhangmen, Zhen Shibo, and Lu Zhangmen died one after another, Xiao Cao retired, and Qi Lianping and Gao Shu are said to have also taken refuge in Yuanyuetang. ”

Zhang Qichao urged: "Don't be emotional, since the lady is familiar with this place." Take me to the Hanshan Sword Sect, let's finish our work early, and we should go to rescue Sun Ying as soon as possible. ”

Under Wei Yan's leadership, Zhang Qichao smoothly arrived in front of the gate of the Hanshan Sword Sect.

"The county lord is here, and our sect is not welcome!" The disciple of Zhike recognized Wei Yan and asked politely: "I don't know if the county lord is here, what is the matter?"

Wei Yan bowed and replied politely: "The lord of this county is accompanying her clumsy husband Zhang Qichao to come together, and I want to ask to see Lu Yao, please make sure she takes the time to see her." ”

The disciple of Zhike responded: "The county lord is not an outsider, please follow me up the mountain to see the master." ”

Under the guidance of the disciples of Zhike, the husband and wife embarked on the road up the mountain. Wei Yan was overwhelmed, and she couldn't do it halfway, panting: "These six major factions are really the same, they all design the main hall in the back, but they can kill people." ”

Zhang Qichao said helplessly: "No way, you haven't walked the mountain road of Yuanyue Hall." Not to mention, there is a large garden waiting here, and it is only after the garden that you go to the main hall. ”

"Ah!" Wei Yan was speechless.

With the support of Zhang Qichao, Wei Yan finally arrived at the Hanshan Hall and met Lu Yao.

At this moment, Lu Yao is dressed in plain clothes and naturally carved. Holding the dust in his hand, he is already an outsider.

Seeing Wei Yan, Lu Yao seemed very happy, "County Lord, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Wei Yan was also very happy, "Yes, it's been so long since Boyang City was separated." Are you okay now?"

"It doesn't matter if it's good or bad, it's just a green light. ”

Lu Yao looked Wei Yan up and down carefully, and saw that she had a ruddy complexion and a radiant complexion, and said with a smile: "After getting married, the consequences have become different, and I look more beautiful than before." ”

Wei Yan smiled shyly, looked back at Zhang Qichao, who was admiring the Hanshan Palace, and said with a smile: "Don't make fun of me." Lu Yao, we are here this time mainly to send you two things. He glanced back at Zhang Qichao and found that he was still paying attention to the Hanshan Palace.

"Xianggong, Xianggong, get down to business!" Wei Yan took out the style of being in charge.

Zhang Qichao took out the Yanxia Divine Skill and Shangqing Sword Intent from his arms and handed them to Lu Yao, and explained: "This is what Xiao Cuo asked us to transfer to you before he retired. ”

Lu Yao took the two cheats books, looked at the familiar font, and was overwhelmed with feelings. After a moment, he asked, "Did he leave anything before he retired?"

"You know my heart, and we will meet again in the next life. Zhang Qichao relayed Xiao Cuo's words, "He said that you can understand it as soon as you hear it." ”

"I understand, it's just that the world is ruthless, and it's hard to be all red dust. Lu Yao put away the cheats and cared about Xiao Cuo's current situation.

Zhang Qi then told Lu Yao in detail the ins and outs of Xiao Cuo's retirement.

Lu Yao sighed: "Since the last time Zhu Miaoshuang brought people to attack the Hanshan Sword Sect and returned from a fiasco, she has not come again. I was wondering what was going on? It turned out to be dealing with the Queen's Village. Thinking about it, the senior brother was in exchange for the safety of the Cold Mountain Sword Sect at the cost of the autumn water cold. ”

Lu Yao also went undercover by Pi Lizhi's side, and knew many things.

"Master Lu, please keep the cheats properly, and practice diligently to cope with future changes. Zhang Qichao motioned for Wei Yan to leave the Cold Mountain Sword Sect together.

Wei Yan understood, and said goodbye: "Lu Yao, we are leaving." You cherish it alone, and there will be a period in the future. ”

Lu Yao arched his hand and said, "There will be a period later!"

Zhang Qichao felt that someone was eavesdropping outside the hall, and made a pun, "This is Xiao Cuo's handwriting, Master Lu must be careful to keep it, don't let anyone with a heart succeed." His eyes signaled that someone outside the hall was eavesdropping.

Lu Yao understood and said with a smile: "Thank you for the reminder, I wrote it down." ”

After Zhang Qichao and Wei Yan left the Hanshan Sword Sect, they did not stop, and traveled north to Dingjiadu, and then took a boat down the river to Xiangyang City.

During this time, the secret letter intercepted by the middle-aged man in Wancheng also reached Pi Lizhi's hands.

At this moment, Pi Lizhi was in the Baiyun Palace south of Xiangyang.

Pi Lizhi opened the secret letter and looked at it carefully, and sighed: "I still underestimate the power of King Pingnan. There are so many sects and officials in Jiangnan who have taken refuge under his command. ”

Zhu Miaoshuang said regretfully: "It's a pity that Zhuo Ye couldn't hold his breath and closed the net too early. There is no way to find the person to contact in the north factory. ”

"I want Zhuo Ye to only take secret letters, not arrest people. Pi Li said in a shocking voice, "The current Cloud Piercing Villa is already overwhelmed, and you each have your own tasks, I'm afraid that I won't even be able to get the secret letter by then." ”

Zhu Miaoshuang suggested: "Is it better to let Xiaofeng also come to the Central Plains, and have one more helper." ”

"No, we have to give ourselves a step back. Pi Li has her own plans, "You see how cunning King Pingnan is, he has already left a hand for himself. We can't afford to be careful. ”

Pi Lizhi then ordered: "Miaoshuang, you quickly send someone to deliver this secret letter to King Pingnan. I think that as soon as this secret letter reaches the hands of King Pingnan, it will be the moment when the beacon fire rises again. ”

Zhu Miaoshuang took the secret letter and went down to deal with the matter.

Xue Danchen came in and said, "Guan Chengguang didn't make much movement, he just drank blindly. In vain guessed, this was his trick. ”

Pi Lizhi said coldly: "Hmph, it's really clumsy to play this kind of trick in front of me. Don't keep an eye on him, I'm going to see how big a splash he can make. ”

"Yes!" Xue Danchen respectfully stepped back.

Pirizo returns to the throne, opens the mechanism, and leads through the secret passage to a secret room. There was already a man waiting there.

"Door master, what should my subordinates do next?" The person who spoke out was Guan Chengguang.

Pi Lizhi was half happy and half puzzled, "It seems that the person who betrayed me is not Xue Danchen." Who is it?"

Guan Chengguang replied: "The door master asked his subordinates to stimulate the queen's village, revealing that he has two hearts for you. Ken mentioned in front of you, and there is only a shadow. Under the temptation, it will not be Xue Danchen or Zhu Miaoshuang, let alone Mi Zhaokun. I think that the enemy is not necessarily inside, will it be the king of southern Xinjiang. ”

Pi Li's face turned iron-blue, "This old thing, I really don't miss family affection at all." I'm not good at stubble, so I'll have a good fight with him when the time comes. You go down first and pretend for a while, I will wait for the support of King Pingnan, and then fight Yuanyuetang. ”

"Yes!" Guan Chengguang slowly retreated into the shadows.

"In the old days, Wang Xie Tang Qianyan flew into the homes of ordinary people. "The Ouyang family, which was once prosperous, is now only left with ruins and broken walls to tell the past. The withered grass and withered poplars are swaying in the spring breeze, and the vicissitudes of life are exhausted. As far as the eye can see, it is also desolate.

"How can this be?" Wei Yan was so surprised, "How big this used to be, how did it become a wasteland in the blink of an eye!"

Zhang Qichao saw tears in his wife's eyes, and said strangely: "What's wrong with you?

Wei Yan choked up and replied: "This is the Ouyang family, I only heard that the Ouyang family has declined." I didn't expect it to be like this. ”

When the husband and wife were feeling nostalgic, they saw a villager looking for something in the ruins with a basket on their backs, and felt strange, so they stepped forward to ask.

The old man replied: "The Ouyang family was burned to the ground by a fire, and some villagers picked up treasures here, so the old man came to try his luck." ”

Wei Yan asked, "Where are the people of the Ouyang family buried?"

Not far from here is where their graves are. The old man pointed to the southeast direction and said, "It's a pity that there is not even a grave, it is already overgrown with weeds." ”

Wei Yan looked back at Zhang Qichao, and Zhang Qichao understood. The husband and wife planned to go to the market to buy some paper money and candles to pay their respects.

"The barren hills and white bones mourn, how many people are there in history? sighs that others are rich and noble like a dream, but how do you know that you are a dream person. Hahahaha, it's funny, it's funny, it's funny, it's so hard, it's a hundred. ”

I saw a person dressed in tattered brocade clothes, holding a broken bowl in his left hand, crazy all the way, talking nonsense. There was a foul smell on his body, and the villagers avoided it.

Zhang Qichao took out a few copper plates from the money bag and threw them into the man's bowl very accurately. The man had no expression and walked away in a frenzy.

The husband and wife go to the bazaar to buy the supplies for the hanging offerings, and along the way discuss the madman they just met.

Zhang Qichao said: "Lady, that beggar knows martial arts, and he is not weak, just look at the footsteps." However, he seems to have been stimulated in some way, so that he behaved erratically. ”

Wei Yan sighed: "That's really a strange person, listening to what he sings, you can see through the hot and cold world." ”

While speaking, when he came to the location of the Ouyang family's grave, he saw that it was also desolate. Wei Yan has a friendship with the Ouyang family, especially with Ouyang Lan. couldn't bear their fate like this, so he and Zhang Qichao rebuilt the tomb for them.

Xiangyang City was very lively, and Zhang Qichao and Wei Yan came to a silk shop.

"Is the boss there?" Zhang Qichao shouted loudly into the backyard when he saw that no one was entertaining.

"Alas, here it is, here it is. The shopkeeper came out of the backyard sweating profusely, panting.

Zhang Qichao's eyes instantly became cold, and he asked in a cold voice, "Is Sun Ying here with you!"

"No! I don't know who the guest is talking about!" the shopkeeper denied repeatedly.

The victory was only in a moment, Zhang Qichao grabbed the neck of the shopkeeper, and then asked, "Say! Where is Sun Ying hidden by you?"

"I said, I said!" the shopkeeper was so choked that he had to admit it. Then he led Zhang Qichao and Wei Yan to the backyard, pointed to one of the rooms and said, "It's here!"

Zhang Qichao and Wei Yan looked at each other, and they had a tacit understanding in their hearts. Wei Yan walked up to the shopkeeper to spy on him, and Zhang Qichao went to the room alone to investigate.

As soon as he arrived at the door of the room, more than a dozen big men suddenly appeared from all around.

The shopkeeper said proudly: "Boy, don't let go of the uncle." Otherwise, I will tell you to have your life in and not to come out!"
