In this battle of Jiangdu, Zhang Xueyao can be said to have contributed the most, although there is no external injury, but because of the forcible use of the sword thirty-four, the internal injury is quite deep, so after a little conversation with Xu Beiyou, she will go to Qingxiu to heal, as for the list, it was transferred to Xu Beiyou by a henchman who has followed her all the year round.

When Xu Beiyou saw this Zhang Xueyao's henchman, he smiled, he was still an acquaintance.

When that person saw Xu Beiyou, he was also full of smiles, and he didn't have too much rustiness.

Xu Beiyou knew that her name was Zhang Yuping, not a member of the Zhang clan, but an orphan who didn't know who her parents were, and was picked up and raised by Zhang Xueyao during the ten-year chase for deer, because her life experience was like rain and duckweed, so she was named Zhang Yuping, and later was accepted by Zhang Xueyao into the Sword Sect and became a disciple of the Sword Sect。

The reason why Xu Beiyou remembers her can be traced back to the last time Bingchen led the Demon Suppression Hall to Jiangdu, when the entire Jiangdu City was in turmoil, Zhang Xueyao and Shangguan Qinghong were in the East Lake Courtyard, only Xu Beiyou and Song Guanguan remained in the Jiangdu City, it was Zhang Yuping who rushed to Jiangdu City from the East Lake Courtyard at this critical moment, and asked Xu Beiyou to go to the Qianjin Tower for temporary refuge.

Xu Beiyou smiled and stretched out his hand to support the woman who was about to salute, and chuckled: "Senior Sister Yuping doesn't need to be polite, how are you doing lately?"

Zhang Yuping, who was directly said by Xu Beiyou, showed a slightly shy smile that did not match her real age, and the two small dimples on her cheeks were extremely cute, and it was difficult for outsiders to imagine that this woman who looked like she was only twenty-five or sixteen years old was actually already a child.

Xu Beiyou personally moved a chair for her, and said with a smile: "Senior sister doesn't have to be formal, just sit and say." ”

Zhang Yuping was quite flattered, but she didn't refuse, and after taking her seat, she handed a file in her hand to Xu Beiyou's hand, straightened her face again, and said slowly: " Presumably the sect master already knew that the old sect master and the acting sect master had placed people in the Daomen, and this part was originally arranged by the old sect master himself, but in the nineteenth year of Chengping, the old sect master suddenly returned to Jiangdu and transferred the list of many chess pieces in his hands to the acting sect master by me. ”

Xu Beiyou didn't rush to open the file in his hand, nodded and said: "I think at that time, the master had already decided to join forces with the imperial court, but the master also knew that this matter would not be tolerated by the Daomen, if there was a mistake, it would inevitably lead to death. ”

Zhang Yuping subconsciously glanced at the tall sword box standing behind the sect master, calmed his mind a little, and said softly: "In the next few years, the acting sect master has successively made contact with those chess pieces, with the caution of the old sect master, the identity of the chess pieces does not need to go high, but it must be hidden, only one chess piece was unexpected, and it was actually accepted as a personal disciple by the Taoist sect master Qiu Ye, ranking tenth, and giving the Dao number Cangyun." However, the Dai Sect Master also said that the higher the status, the more difficult it is to control, with the current identity of this chess piece, it may not be able to hold on to the end, of course, after all, it is the person carefully selected by the old sect master, at most, it is to betray the Sword Sect and completely return to the Dao Sect, and it will not leak the heavenly secret. ”

Xu Beiyou asked, "What is the situation now?"

Zhang Yuping replied: "Back to the sect master, Cangyun is a little wavering now, but he has not done anything to be sorry for the Sword Sect, nor has he left the Sword Sect, but he has some reservations and hesitation in many things, and it seems that he has other thoughts. ”

Xu Beiyou said softly: "People's hearts ripple like water and are capricious. As the saying goes, people's hearts are like water, how deep they are, the people are like smoke, how chaotic, people's hearts are like water, when they are quiet, the people are like smoke, and they are disturbed. ”

Zhang Yuping continued: " As for the other chess pieces, they are far less important than Cangyun, there are more of them, there are about twenty people, and the time of entering the Daomen is different, the earliest is about forty years, and the least is only three years, over the years, ten people have died one after another, five people died in the Daomen Town Demon Temple, four people died in accidents, and two people died in the Sword Qi Volley Hall, among the remaining people, the person with the highest status has become the deacon of the Daomen Shenxing Division, but it is the same as Cangyun, this person also has signs of vacillation, after all, compared with the Sword Sect, it is an indisputable fact that the Daomen is more powerful, and it is reasonable for people to be selfish and profit-seeking。 ”

Xu Beiyou fell into deep thought and did not rush to speak.

After all, the Sword Sect is the master's hard work for decades, far from being so simple on the surface, it is reasonable to have such an "ambush", according to common sense, Xu Beiyou wants to inherit the Sword Sect completely from Gongsun Zhongmou, at least more than ten years of hard work, first follow Gongsun Zhongmou to listen to the teachings for a few years, then to familiarize himself with the sect affairs for a few years, and then to be alone for a few years, and finally to establish his authority and make meritorious contributions, strengthen his momentum, and then spend a few years of work, and finally take over the power logically, and will never make a fuss about Chi Bing's disobedience to the young master.

It's just that the situation forced Xu Beiyou to take over in advance, although it saved a lot of time, but many secrets in the sect couldn't be done.

After a while, Xu Beiyou came back to his senses and motioned for Zhang Yuping to continue.

Zhang Yuping's face was solemn and said: "If there is chaos today, people in the Dao Sect have entered the world one after another, and many disciples of the Dao Sect Master Qiu Ye are no exception, as far as I know, Cang Yun has left Xuandu in mid-August, and is now at the place of Master Du Ming in Huzhou." According to the meaning of the acting sect master, it is better for the sect master to meet him in person. ”

Xu Beiyou frowned, although Jiangzhou is the most prosperous and wealthy place in the entire south of the Yangtze River, but Huzhou is the key to the current battlefield in the south of the Yangtze River, Murong Xuan, Chenye, Bingchen, Li Qingyu, Du Mingshi, and even Xiao Jin, Liumian and others are all in Huzhou, for the Sword Sect and the imperial court, it is not an exaggeration to say that Huzhou is the tiger's den in Longtan today.

If Cangyun betrayed the Sword Sect and leaked Xu Beiyou's whereabouts, even if Xu Beiyou was already in the realm of the eighteenth floor of the Earth Immortal, it would be more than lucky.

Xu Beiyou asked in a deep voice, "Cangyun is indeed reliable?"

Zhang Yuping knew what Xu Beiyou was thinking, and said with a slight smile: "Of course, this contact will not tell Cangyun that the sect master will see him in person, I will make an appointment with him in my name, I think Cangyun will not make a big deal for an unknown Zhang Yuping, and directly report this matter to Mrs. Murong." ”

Xu Beiyou was stunned and laughed at himself: "Sure enough, the higher the status, the less courageous you are." ”

The corners of Zhang Yuping's mouth curled slightly, and she said softly: "Because the burden on the sect master is too heavy, I can't allow the sect master to be chivalrous anymore, just like a man who has become a relative, it is inevitable to think about his wife and children at home when he encounters things, and he can no longer act impulsively like when he was young." It's not that you're timid, it's a way to know what to gain and lose. ”

Xu Beiyou laughed at it, and then motioned for her to step down.

Zhang Yuping got up and saluted Xu Beiyou, and slowly retreated and left.

Xu Beiyou sat alone in the room, opened the file in his hand, looked at the names one by one, and said thoughtfully: "Cangyun." ”
