Outside the tea shop by Tianmu Lake, after Haoxing Mingrui sent Shui Xinying, who came to report the news overnight, he looked up at the waning moon that was covered by dark clouds, sighed slightly, and said, "I'm afraid it will be another snowy day tomorrow!"

Liu Yifei, who had been following him, couldn't hold back his excitement: "No matter how much wind and snow, I can bring my son back!"

Haoxing Mingrui turned his head to look at him, "I didn't say that I would send you to pick you up tomorrow." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Liu Yifei became anxious when he heard this, and begged: "Sir, last time, it was because I didn't receive Gongzi that he fell into the hands of Xue Youyou. This time, you must let me make up for my mistakes and bring my son back safely!"

Haoxing Mingrui shook his head and said, "I have another task assigned to you, let Yuanfeng pick up Yu'er back tomorrow." ”

"But—"

Liu Yifei wanted to continue begging, but was interrupted by Haoxing Mingrui with a wave of his hand.

"It's not your fault that Yu'er was captured by Xue Youyou, and I'll tell you about all the reasons for this later. Now you quickly go to the Broken Sword Pavilion to find Gongyu Sarong, and ask him to intercept and kill Chen Yingcheng on the way north to Jingzhou tomorrow morning. ”

Although Liu Yifei was still unwilling, he knew that his husband had always been the same, so he stopped being verbose and took the order solemnly.

Seeing Liu Yi fly away, Haoxing Mingrui walked to the edge of Tianmu Lake and got on a small canopy boat that was already waiting there. As soon as he got on the boat, the boat started and traveled a short distance along the south bank of the lake into the Jingyang River, which was connected to it. Then the boat went down the river until it came to a stop in a dock not far from Jingyang City.

Haoxing Mingrui flew ashore, and the boat rowed away.

The people who had been waiting there led the Bright Star to a large, flat-bottomed barge that looked to be under repair, removed the ropes and tools stacked on the bottom of the boat, and lifted a plank from the bottom of the boat, revealing a black hole underneath.

Haoxing Mingrui nodded to the man and jumped directly into the cave. The man had re-covered the hole with a plank, put the ropes and tools back in their place, and walked away quickly.

After entering the entrance of the cave, Haoxing Mingrui walked along the underground tunnel that he had walked through many times, and walked in the darkness for about half an hour, and finally the bamboo ladder appeared in front of him. Ascending the bamboo ladder and pushing away the stone slabs above, he was already in the belly of a rockery in the back garden of Prince Ding's mansion.

Out of the rockery, he casually straightened his clothes, and then walked slowly up a long corridor towards a brightly lit courtyard.

As soon as he walked to the gate of the courtyard, a middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper greeted him, bowed down and saluted: "Lord, it's a little late to rest today." ”

"Well, today's Huafeng Mountain of Baicaotang has sent a new pair of "Deep Mountain Medicine Picking Map", which is really a far-reaching artistic conception, and this king was addicted to it for a while, so he couldn't help but delay it in the study for a while. ”

The middle-aged man used the lantern in his hand to light the way for Haoxing Mingrui, and at the same time did not forget to compliment it in his mouth: "This flower doctor is not only proficient in medicinal herbs, but also famous for his painting skills. What's even more rare is that there is a great expert in painting like you, Lord Wang, as his bosom friend, which is really good!"

Haoxing Mingrui glanced at him and scolded with a smile: "You flamboyant thing! I know that this king is bored in the mansion all day long, so I like to see some flowers, birds, cordyceps and other things, where do you really know how to paint?!"

"The prince is really too humble! The paintings you have collected are all the best works that those collectors in the city are vying to buy, otherwise how dare the villain talk nonsense?"

This sycophant really hit the heart of this prince, Haoxing Mingrui's face couldn't help but show a little smugness, and said with a smile: "Fan Cheng, you are growing more and more! After Steward Zhao returns to his hometown next year, you, the second butler, will take over from him as the chief butler in the house." ”

Fan Chengyi's heart was overjoyed when he heard this, although the prince is a fake prince, but the position of the palace housekeeper is genuine, and now he is going to be developed!

Fan Cheng thanked him with a smile on his face, but Haoxing Mingrui just waved his hand and continued to go to his dormitory.

As soon as the door of the hall was closed, a person immediately flashed out of the corner, bowed to Haoxing Mingrui and said, "Sir." ”

"Yuanfeng, what news can I find out from this trip?"

Lu Yuanfeng hurriedly replied: "Zhiming came out and said that Master Huinian had returned to the temple in peace, and brought back a sentence from Gongzi, 'I will return within the year, don't read it'." ”

Haoxing Mingrui nodded, "It seems that Yu'er also knows that her butterfly transformation will be successful, so she has this 'will return within the year' words." What else did Master Hui Nian say, and why did Xue Youyou let him go back to the temple?"

Lu Yuanfeng hesitated for a moment, and Fang said with some trepidation: "Master Huinian said that Gongzi has told Xue Youyou the secret of the Tibetan Stream Valley, and today the emperor also knows about it, and the identity of Gongzi's Yin clan has been completely exposed!"

Haoxing Mingrui was also shocked when he heard this, frowned and thought for a moment and said: "Yu'er must have his reason for doing this, and we can't take care of it so much for the time being." Yuanfeng, you go down first and rest well, there are still very important things for you to do tomorrow. ”

"Yes, the subordinates retired. Lu Yuanfeng quietly retreated.

Haoxing Mingrui didn't dare to delay at all, walked through the dormitory, entered the quiet room at the back, and then opened the mechanism on the cupboard there, and hurriedly walked into the secret room where Xiao Tianjue was.

"Uncle Seven, I have passed the news with Yu'er, and I can save him tomorrow night. ”

When Xiao Tianjue heard this, he immediately asked with a smile on his face: "How did you plan it?"

"Actually, Yu'er and I had already planned to intercept and kill several of the Loyal Alliance leaders tomorrow. These people are the ones who kill the most hermits on weekdays and have the most cruel methods, and they are absolutely not allowed to stay. However, due to Yu'er's accidental involvement in the Loyalty Alliance, I had already planned to cancel the operation. Who knew that today Yu'er sent a message to me, asking us to act according to the original plan, so as to lure Xue Youyou to the Loyalty Alliance, so that he could take the opportunity to escape from the place where he was imprisoned. ”

Xiao Tian couldn't help frowning and asked: "The helmsmen of the Loyal and Righteous Alliance are all strong in martial arts, and the strength of their subordinates is not weak, you want to intercept and kill them separately, and the hands can be distributed?"

"Seventh uncle, don't worry, I have made arrangements for this matter. Our targets are only those Helm Masters, and their subordinates are not among the assassins. Yuanfeng and Yifei and I each guarded one road on the east, west, and south sides, and the rest of the north road was left to the people of the Broken Sword Pavilion to solve. ”

"Broken Sword Pavilion?"

"Seventh Uncle, do you know, this Broken Sword Pavilion is a new killer organization that has risen in the rivers and lakes in recent years, although it is mainly based on killing people, but as long as the remuneration is good, they will not refuse to accept some business of saving people or even bodyguards. The pavilion master of the Broken Sword Pavilion has never seen outsiders, and all business transactions are handled by the deputy pavilion lord Gong Yu Sarong alone. This Gongyu has excellent kung fu, but he is arrogant and arrogant, and should not be approached. However, he has a habit of collecting all kinds of ancient sword books, so I used an old sword book to trade with him last time and asked him to go to Jishi Temple to pick up Yu'er. Who knew that Yu'er was lost due to blindness and did not arrive at the pick-up location. Afterwards, I asked Yifei to send the old sword book to the Broken Sword Pavilion, but it was returned by Gongyu Sarong, saying that the business was not successful and no remuneration was charged. ”

"In this way, this Broken Sword Pavilion still has some rules. After all, this mission is different from the last time, the last mission was just to pick up people, and it did not involve much gain or loss, but this time it was to intercept and kill the most powerful members of the Loyal Alliance in the rivers and lakes. Once the plan is exposed, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Haoxing Mingrui suddenly smiled meaningfully, "Whether this Broken Sword Pavilion is reliable or not depends on their performance tomorrow." Seventh Uncle, don't worry, everything is in the calculations of me and Yu'er, and there will be no mistakes. ”

Xiao Tianjue nodded, and the thought of seeing his beloved apprentice who had been separated for ten years tomorrow suddenly made his heart excited, and he no longer had time to ask this pair of nephews who were full of ghost ideas how to calculate others.
