Chapter 1156: The Lobbyist Doubts (I)
The "Ming Fujiao" rebelled, the capital was in flames, and the riots broke out again five years ago, and the Mengyuan court can be said to be at the time of life and death.
However, the imperial city is in turmoil, but the town of Kurong, which is far away, is still peaceful, and the town hidden in the hinterland of the mountains does not know the danger of the situation at all, and the people still enjoy it.
Sun Yun, Du Juan and Qi Xueyin, who live here, are even more so, they were hiding from the pursuit of the "Canghuan Sect", but they didn't want to stay in the town for a month. Of course, there is no way, the "Canghuan Sect" ordered to block the entry and exit of the town, Sun Yun and the others had no chance to escape from here, so they could only temporarily disguise themselves and work in the inn, while coping with daily expenses, while secretly inquiring about the news of the "Canghuan Sect", to see if there was a chance to know some clues or leave here......
After a month, today is the day of pay, Sun Yun and Qi Xueyin have endless "emotions", noisy and shouting in broad daylight, completely forgetting that they and others are avoiding trouble......
"Hey, after a month of hard work, I have earned such a small amount of wages...... Qi Xueyin looked at the pitiful amount of silver in her hand while holding a broom, twisted her shoulders and sighed, "Oh, it's annoying, it's even more tiring than practicing martial arts - people practice martial arts and make a big move, and a little bruise is nothing......;
As he spoke, Sun Yun walked slowly from behind. Unlike Qi Xueyin, Sun Yun had a happy face, whistling while tossing the silver in his hand.
Qi Xueyin saw that the amount of silver in Sun Yun's hand was much more than herself, and she couldn't help but scold: "Hey, why can you take so much, I'll just ?—— like this"
"Because I did a good job...... Sun Yun deliberately smiled "proudly" in front of Qi Xueyin, "I am conscientious and conscientious every day, and I know how to settle accounts in the dart game, and I often have nothing to do to help the shopkeeper with some account affairs - the shopkeeper is satisfied with me, and the salary is naturally ......."
"What about me, don't I work hard every day......" Qi Xueyin continued to be unconvinced.
"You?...... hum" Sun Yun heard this, and said deliberately awkwardly, "I am lazy every day, I work less and eat more, it would be good if the shopkeeper didn't open you, and I will pay you a salary......
"Are you embarrassed to say, the level of hard work of the two of us, can it be the same......" Qi Xueyin was still unwilling, and continued to retort, "You 'wander' around the lobby every day, and it takes a lot of effort to get it...... As for me?—— sweeping the floor, wiping the table, or even washing the dishes, hunched over all day, people can't stand it...... If you want me to say, it's not as hard as practicing and stepping a horse!"
"Why do you work, what can you do if you don't suffer a little hard?" Sun Yun continued to joke, "If it doesn't work, you can also help settle the accounts like me - ask you to accompany Ah Song to study the accounts carefully when you are at home, you look impatient every day, and Yumu can't learn it...... Do you regret it?"
"Who do you say is Yumu's brain?!——" Seeing that Sun Yun took the opportunity to scold himself again, Qi Xueyin waved a broom and slapped it on Sun Yun's head.
"Hey, don't make trouble, when the shopkeeper sees it, he will talk about the two of us again......" Sun Yun took a step back and stopped.
"Hmph-" Qi Xueyin looked resentful, vented her anger, and threw the broom aside.
"Hey, hey, hey, now that you're under the fence, don't be old with this young lady's temper, do you want to spend ?...... here" Sun Yun looked at Qi Xueyin's capricious temper and teased again.
"I didn't want to live here—" Qi Xueyin didn't shy away from it, "I was supposed to flee here, but who would have thought that now I was trapped here and couldn't get out, and I had to suffer here every day...... Instead of doing this every day, it's better to be happy and fight with the people of the 'Canghuan Sect'......" The last sentence was deliberately whispered, and Qi Xueyin also knew that he could not reveal the identity of himself and others here.
"Who can blame this? Who told you to make such a big disturbance in the town a month ago, and now you are doing it yourself......" Sun Yun continued to joke.
"Tell me about this again?" Qi Xueyin said impatiently at the mention of this stubble, "It's my fault...... It's my fault, okay?——"
"Why do you have such a complaining expression......" Sun Yun looked at Qi Xueyin's resentful eyes and muttered secretly.
"I promised you, work here honestly...... But you, have you done the right thing?" asked Qi Xueyin in turn this time.
"What's the matter...... Sun Yun asked with a "squirrel" expression on his face.
"What's the matter? you won't forget—" Qi Xueyin immediately said, "You said it yourself, you want to secretly inquire about the 'Canghuan Sect'...... Don't tell me you haven't heard anything in a month, so I'm not here for nothing?"
"How is it possible, I'm kidding......" Sun Yun was afraid that it would be easy for many people to leak the news, so he deliberately pulled Qi Xueyin over and whispered in his ear, "Okay, let me tell you, I really heard a lot of ...... from the guests who come and go every day."
"How many?" Qi Xueyin asked in a low voice with a confused look.
"It's probably about the organization personnel of the 'Canghuan Sect', and the ......situation around here," Sun Yun slowly elaborated, "According to the people here, the 'Canghuan Sect' is divided into four major halls of 'East, West, South, and South', Dongxun, Xiying, Nanji, and Beipheasant are the corresponding four hall masters, and the guy you dealt with a month ago should be the East Hall Master with the highest martial arts......"
"The highest martial arts?" Qi Xueyin listened, remembering the duel on the eaves a month ago, and couldn't help nodding and said, "No wonder that guy is so powerful, he has forced me into danger several times......
"Next is the most critical ......," Sun Yun continued to whisper, "I asked on the side again, why can't you see the people of the imperial court here, the guests who come and go say that this place was abandoned many years ago, and the imperial court doesn't care about it...... Later, about five years ago, the people of the 'Canghuan Sect' found this place, funded the restoration of this town by themselves, and used it as a base to make the town prosperous again......
"Five years ago?" Qi Xueyin heard this, her expression was a little serious, "Isn't that what ......happened at that time?"
"Yes, it's exactly the same time as the first riot in the capital," Sun Yun nodded in response...... "Maybe they wanted to use this as a base from the beginning, and then conspired a whole plan to alarm the Mengyuan court...... It's just that the people of the court didn't find this place, after all, in the eyes of the court, this town at the foot of the mountain has long been a deserted and abandoned place......"
"But when it was deserted five years ago, where did they get so much money to repair this place?" Qi Xueyin couldn't help but ask, "Even if the imperial court doesn't ask, this place is not too far from Dadu, if it is discovered by the people of the imperial court, wouldn't it be ......?"
"Well, I also think it's very strange, it seems that they are very confident, the people of the imperial court will definitely not find out here......" Sun Yun analyzed, his eyes gradually calmed down, "Otherwise, there is their internal response in the imperial court, and I am sure that the people of the official government will not find out here......"
"Five years ago, since they had the capital to threaten the imperial court, they must have an important handle in their hands, so if they calculate it, even if it is money, I'm afraid it won't be a difficulty......," Qi Xueyin continued to analyze, "What about that stinky woman? I remember that stinky woman said that she didn't get involved in that matter five years ago......
As she spoke, Qi Xueyin remembered what Ziyou had said to herself and others at Qingmo Villa......
(in recall)......
"You actually use the 'Broken Flower Dart'......" I heard about it from Master Taishi Hansheng, Qi Xueyin looked up at Ziyou, and said in a loud voice, "That's right, you are a disciple of the 'Canghuan Sect'!"
"Canghuan Sect?" everyone who had never heard the name of this sect questioned one after another.
"Hmm......" Ziyou retracted her previous contempt, and looked at Qi Xueyin, a woman with an inexplicable background, and her heart suddenly tightened.
"Canghuan Sect...... What is it?" Shi Changsong continued to wonder.
"Could it be ......" Sun Yun seemed to have guessed something, and replied with suspicion.
"That's right, it's the same as the 'Mingfu Sect'......" Qi Xueyin nodded, endured the pain of the wound and said calmly, "The sect that caused an uproar in Dadu five years ago and was later suppressed by the imperial court——"
"But Xueyin, you...... Why did you recognize the 'Broken Flower Dart' at a glance?" Sun Yun couldn't help but wonder, "I remember Dordun said that five years ago, you were still young, and you didn't participate in the suppression at all, let alone meet the disciples of the 'Canghuan Sect'......"
"After my master came back, he once showed me the secret weapon used by the disciples of the 'Canghuan Sect'......" Qi Xueyin continued contemplatively, "Because the shape is extremely strange, I am deeply impressed......
"Master?......" Zi You glanced at Qi Xueyin, and secretly doubted in his heart, "What happened five years ago has his master...... Could it be that this woman ......"
It seems that Ziyou is a little quietly curious about Qi Xueyin's identity, and he can vaguely guess something, and now he is calculating something inexplicable in his heart......
"But it's weird...... Qi Xueyin looked at the strange woman in front of her, and then said puzzled, "When my master told me about this, he didn't mention a woman...... So ...... this woman?"
Ziyou cast a disdainful look at Qi Xueyin, smiled contemptuously, and said, "Of course, five years ago, I wasn't in the 'Canghuan Sect'...... But it doesn't matter, my purpose today is to take Taiyun's head, and as for you wild girl, I don't have the time to deal with you......"
(In reality)......
"Did she say that the events of five years ago had nothing to do with her...... Qi Xueyin continued to ask, "In that case, who is this woman, is it as simple as the leader of the 'Canghuan Sect'......"
"The people here have mentioned the matter of the woman named 'Ziyou'......" Sun Yun continued, "But they don't know much, they say that they only know that this woman is the head of the four hall masters, and the power is not small......"
"That stinky woman, could she really be the leader of the 'Canghuan Sect'......" Qi Xueyin wondered again, "But she is too young and has nothing to do with what happened five years ago......
"I don't think so-" Sun Yun affirmed, "after all, in Qingmo Villa, she personally went out to deal with us...... I'm thinking, behind this woman, there must be a black hand, the reason why she was sent to Qingmo Villa to ambush us is because I know that I will be there in person, and only that woman's martial arts skills are comparable to me, so ......" The further down he said, Sun Yun seemed to have found more clues, and his expression became solemn.
"Then what is the identity of that stinky woman?" Qi Xueyin asked again, "And who is the leader behind them......
"I don't know, it's still a cloud of doubts...... Sun Yun shook his head, and said helplessly for the time being, "At least until that woman reappears, we can't figure out the truth of the matter......"
"Cut, after saying so much, it's not the same as not saying it......" Qi Xueyin couldn't help but vomit bitterly after listening to it, "Wait for that stinky woman to appear again......?" Besides, that stinky woman recognizes us, and it's better not to show up than for her to show up......"
However, at this time, Sun Yunzhi did not speak, and stared at the table of guests drinking tea in front of him.
"Why don't you speak?Did you find out that what I said was right, you are speechless......" Seeing that Sun Yun did not respond, Qi Xueyin smiled "proudly".
However, Sun Yun still didn't respond, his eyes were still looking at the front intently, as if the identity of the guest at the table opposite was a little suspicious.
"What's wrong, dumb ......" Seeing that she didn't answer for a long time, Qi Xueyin turned her head to look at Sun Yun, but saw that Sun Yun's eyes couldn't take her eyes off her, and she simply glanced over, "What's wrong with the guests at that table over there?"
"Shhhhh......h
Thinking that Sun Yun had discovered something, Qi Xueyin didn't dare to make a sound for the time being, and looked in the direction of the guests at the table with her breath......
I saw two guests at the table, who only ordered a pot of tea and drank it for a long time, and they didn't talk much. But this is not the key, what caught Sun Yun's attention was that the two people made inexplicable gestures from time to time, like a code or a mute language, which ordinary people looked very puzzled.
For a long time, the two of them looked like they were about to leave, the things on the table were almost untouched, and one of them also pressed an inexplicable piece of origami under the pot, deliberately revealing half an inch, as if it was a secret but as if it was deliberately discovered.
"Shopkeeper—" At this moment, another person suddenly called out to the shopkeeper of the hotel.
"What's the matter with this guest officer?" asked the shopkeeper with a bow.
The guest put a piece of silver on the table and said solemnly, "The silver is on the table...... However, the things on the table are not allowed to be moved, and a few people from the Canghuan Sect will come and take the note after they take it away, and then clean it up after they have taken it away...... Remember, before that, no one is allowed to touch this table, otherwise you will offend our 'Canghuan Sect', and you will know the end-" He said, pointing to the note pressed under the teapot.
"Yes...... Yes, the villain will do so, and will not let anyone touch this table......" replied the shopkeeper with a flattering face, putting away the huge silver.
The two then left in a hurry......
Sun Yun and Qi Xueyin saw everything in their eyes, including the note. The point is that these two people also claim to be people from the "Canghuan Sect", and it is obvious that this matter is unusual......
