Standing at the head of the bridge leading to the water pavilion, Tie Linglong looked at Chengjiazhuang, her vision was blocked by the clusters of trees in the east and the west, and she suddenly understood, "This Zhuangzi is specially built to hide dirt and dirt, you see, those trees are very suspicious, not only deliberately covering the situation inside, but also making the path complicated. The monk and Shangguan Cheng must be hiding here. ”

Chu Nanping stood five or six steps behind her, holding the sword in his right hand, tilted his head slightly, took a deep breath, and said, "But the environment here is really good, and the water in Biyu City is not so delicate." ”

"Don't you think you're not delicate enough?" Tie Linglong whispered, looking back and smiling, "When the matter in the Western Regions is over, let's come to the Central Plains, and we won't participate in any missions, we are free, visit the famous mountains and rivers, live where it is good for a while, and change places when we are bored, the Central Plains is so big, enough for us to visit." ”

A faint smile appeared on Chu Nanping's face, "Okay, you don't need to bring a sword, you don't have to worry about it." ”

The two of them had their hearts and minds at this end, and Tie Linglong asked suspiciously: "I can use my yin fingers, but I don't need a sword, how can you break into the rivers and lakes without a sword?"

Chu Nanping was stunned, not knowing how to answer this question, in his imagination, leaving the Western Regions would mean a life of "breaking through".

Gu Shenwei turned his back to the two of them, looking down at the flowing water under his feet, he never thought about what kind of life he would live after revenge, he was afraid that too many fantasies would affect his will, Chu Nanping is an example, losing the pursuit of ruthless swordsmanship, he has changed a lot, more gentle and reasonable, as Tie Linglong said, he is also "smarter", the price is to lose his sharpness, and his swordsmanship is gradually mediocre.

Some people are born unable to live an ordinary life, he thinks, Chu Nanping is an orphan, he has lived in the proud building since he was a child, and he is used to chasing extreme things, and even his current passivity and laziness are very extreme, but Tie Linglong has not yet discovered it.

People who get along day and night are not easy to detect changes in each other.

Gu Shenwei retracted his thoughts in time and stared at the bottom of the pond, interested in the sand and small fish swimming.

Cheng Yi finally appeared, dressed as plain as usual, but did not wear mourning clothes, and came side by side with him "a group of leaders", in fact, there were only three people: Huiyuan, the head of Shaolin, Ji Fuwei, the head of Songshan, and Miao Sanwen, the head of Taishan.

Tie Linglong and Chu Nanping let the bridge head go and let the four of them pass.

Gu Shenwei turned around, looked at the four people with a smile on their faces, and said, "I'm here." ”

This is a nonsense, but it sounds quite harsh to Cheng Yi, Huiyuan was originally a martial arts leader, but everyone unanimously agreed that Cheng Jiuye would deal with the demon of the Western Regions on behalf of everyone, so he took a step forward, reduced all etiquette to a perfunctory arch, and coldly spit out the word "please".

There are five chairs in the pavilion, four on the right hand and only one on the left, with the main seat in the middle empty.

The five people sat opposite each other, although Cheng Yi had been selected as the speaker, he still looked left and right, and after obtaining the consent of the three heads, he sat up and said solemnly: "The passing year is unfavorable, the rivers and lakes are in great trouble, first one hundred and sixteen disciples of various factions were attacked by killers in Shiliping, and then forty young junjie were poisoned by the Ten Directions Sect, the world was shaken, and people and gods were angry. ”

"It's a pity. Gu Shenwei did not show "common indignation".

"We must be very angry if we think Gu Gongzi, because in these two tragic incidents, someone wants to frame you. ”

"Well, I'm annoyed. Gu Shenwei's tone was still flat, he was waiting, Cheng Yi was used to the rules of the rivers and lakes, even if he tried to say something straightforwardly, he still had to say a few words first.

"Sixty-one heads, helpers, and parents gathered in Chengjiazhuang yesterday, and we all agreed that Gu Gongzi was framed and should share the same hatred as the Central Plains. ”

"It's obvious. ”

Cheng Yi was silent for a while, the more casual the other party's answer, the more vigilant he became, "So Gu Gongzi is willing to join forces with the sixty-one sects to deal with the Ten Directions Sect and the Western Regions Killers together?"

"That's exactly what I wanted. ”

"Okay, Gu Gongzi is a cheerful person, and we don't hide it. With that, he stood up, walked to the window of the water pavilion, stretched out his hand, and slapped three times in the direction of the manor, and the sound was crisp and spread far away.

The side door of the manor opened again, and a team of Jianghu characters came out, each with a white cloth tied around their waists to show their mourning, and they mourned not only Luo Qicang, but mainly the disciples of the sect.

There were more and more people coming out, each arranging in the open space according to their status and status, completely surrounding the bridgehead of the Water Pavilion, when the number of people exceeded one hundred, Tie Linglong felt a little nervous, I didn't know if the way to play first and then cut was good or not, I glanced at Chu Nanping, and found that he was silent, his heart settled down, and he no longer felt afraid.

But none of these people were armed with weapons, and it was not like they had come to fight.

After them, dozens of bankers walked out of the village, all armed with sticks, and a large group of panicked prisoners were escorted.

It is a bit different to say that it is a prisoner, a total of more than 50 people, dressed in various ways, there are no torture instruments on their bodies, but their steps are vain, obviously the acupoints are sealed, and some people still have injuries on their bodies.

Tie Linglong frowned, she didn't know any of these people.

The prisoners stood in the designated area, tightly packed into a pile, compared with the Zhuang Ke and the characters of various factions, more and more powerless, and soon someone found Gu Shenwei in the water pavilion, all of them showed excitement, the word "Dragon King" was like a gust of wind blowing through the ears of Tie Linglong and Chu Nanping, spreading to the pond.

Gu Shenwei walked to the door, looked at these people, and felt very strange.

Cheng Yi sighed, "Several of these people are still famous and decent disciples. ”

Miao Sanwen, the head of the Taishan faction, who had not spoken, interjected in a stiff tone, "There is one of my Taishan faction, the 'Dragon King', hey, what a big reputation." ”

"These people have all been to Beiting before, and it is said that they have received the grace of Gu Gongzi to save their lives. Cheng Yi said.

"I did save a group of people from the North Court cavalry, but I don't remember who they were. ”

"They remember you, and participated in the Battle of Shiliping, standing on the opposite side of the rivers and lakes of the Central Plains, claiming that they have received your orders and that they want to repay the favor. ”

There were no less than 1,000 warriors in the Central Plains who were besieged by the Beiting cavalry back then, and only a few dozen were willing to stand up to repay their kindness, Gu Shenwei still felt that this was a big number, far beyond his expectations, six years ago he would rather look for a helper from Marshal Yang, and he didn't think of this group of people.

"They are the same as Fan Yongda, they have been deceived. ”

"It must be so. Cheng Yi paused, "There are more than a dozen people who have escaped, their whereabouts are unknown, and another fourteen people are unwilling to be arrested, the various sects have no choice but to be ruthless, the killers in the Western Regions are vicious and vicious, and they are probably very willing to see the internal coaxing of the Central Plains." ”

"Well, now, what are you going to do with these people?"

"This is exactly what I want to ask Gu Gongzi. Cheng Yi walked out of the water pavilion, came to the middle of the wooden bridge, and said loudly to the shore: "Fellow travelers, the people of the rivers and lakes pay attention to a clear grievance, we were deceived by the enemy before, and almost regarded Gu Gongzi as a great enemy, but now we know that we are wrong." These people used to be our relatives and friends, and they were willing to bear the infamy and repay the favor for the sake of a sentence they said on the grassland, so what is the use of sin? They have been deceived, and we have also been deceived, and they have even met with swords and soldiers, and they have fallen into the enemy's tricks. Today, the two sides turned their rivalry into friendship, okay?"

The various sects had already discussed it yesterday, and naturally there was no objection, and they immediately agreed, but those prisoners were completely unaware before, and they were dazzled by this great news, and they were soon overjoyed, they never thought of betraying the rivers and lakes, and when they rescued Lin Xiaoshan, many people were blindfolded, and they didn't expect that they would participate in a killing.

It's like a well-discussed exercise, and the atmosphere of turning enemies into friends has just formed, and someone has come forward.

Zhou Huaiyu was the only disciple of the Kongtong Sect at the scene, and he still believed in the scene he had seen with his own eyes: Gu Shenwei's subordinate was the Chu Nanping who was standing at the head of the bridge, and he had examined the corpse side by side with the Ten Directions Sect disciples.

"Wait. Zhou Huaiyu walked out of the crowd, "I have something to say." ”

Originally, some people were ready to go to relieve the acquaintances among the prisoners, but they all stopped at this time.

"Senior nephew Zhou, you were also there when we discussed this matter...... Cheng Yi was a little unhappy, and Huiyuan and the other three heads also walked to the door of the water pavilion, looking very surprised.

"There are some things that just came to my mind. Zhou Huaiyu insisted on his own opinion.

"Since they are the same enemy, if there is something to say, they should say it. Gu Shenwei said.

Tie Linglong couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Gu Shenwei, feeling that his performance today was a little abnormal, he seemed too weak, and he had been following the routine of the Central Plains people, not at all like the dragon king of the year.

But she still believes that Brother Gu has a plan hidden in his heart, but it has not yet been revealed.

"These people. Zhou Huaiyu pointed to the uneasy prisoners, "Some of the killers who once covered the Western Regions have been fooled, but are all of them fooled? Everyone has understood the insidiousness of the killers in the Western Regions, who can guarantee that they will not have a backhand? Maybe there will be internal annihilation hiding among these people, waiting for the opportunity to move, ready for another massacre?"

The prisoners finally saw hope, but they were extinguished by this sentence, and they proved their innocence in a big way, and asked for help from their acquaintances around them, hoping that they would stand up and guarantee that they were not internal annihilation.

Cheng Yi listened for a while, raised his right hand, and motioned for everyone to silence, "Master Zhou's nephew's words are not unreasonable. Gu Gongzi, these people claim to repay your kindness, you can do it. ”

Zhou Huaiyu stepped forward and said, "Gu Gongzi, are you willing to vouch for these people? ”

Zhou Huaiyu took a bite of "Western Regions", Tie Linglong was already impatient to hear it, pressed the handle of the knife with his hand, and said loudly: "It's ridiculous, you are all from the Central Plains, you are as familiar as a family, you don't dare to guarantee, Brother Gu has never met them all these years, how can you guarantee?"

Zhou Huaiyu ignored her, only looked at Gu Shenwei, and waited for him to give an answer.

Gu Shenwei didn't speak, but walked to the land, passed by Zhou Huaiyu, and still didn't speak, until he walked in front of the group of prisoners, he said, "Indeed, I saw the internal annihilation among you. (To be continued.) )
