Xie Feng trotted while drinking wine, and the swordsman behind him was chasing after him panting, "You stop me, believe it or not, the master slashed you with a sword." The sweat on his forehead and neck had seeped into his collar, and everyone in the lobby laughed. Suddenly, Xie Feng stopped, flung his right hand back, and the wine in the glass ball in his palm shot out from the small narrow slit, directly pounced on the swordsman chasing behind him.

"Wanyue Tower sent a character like you to Jinling, and you really don't take the Central Plains martial arts seriously. Xie Feng inserted the glass ball into his arms with both hands, and then put his hands on his waist and looked at the man in a dark green robe in front of him, and smiled proudly. The slightly older Jianghu knights in the lobby all changed their faces when they heard these three names, and everyone looked at the unattractive man, his authentic northern accent was very pure, but the sharp-eyed Jianghu veteran still had a trace of strangeness between his eyebrows.

"What is the Wanyue Tower? You don't talk nonsense!" The dark green robed swordsman lifted his long sword and rushed quickly, the sword moved with him, and the cold light suddenly rose, and several sword lights approached Xie Feng's chest and eyebrows. Just as everyone in the lobby pinched a cold sweat to relieve the wind, he only bent his body slightly, and quickly dodged the several sword qi.

"It's a pity" Xie Feng dodged the sword qi, looked back at the wine table behind him that was halved by several sword qi, he protected his abdomen with his right hand, let out a long sigh, and sighed, "Do you want to kill people and kill your mouth?" As soon as Xie Feng's words fell, his body was like the wind, falling in front of the dark green robed man, and lightly tapping several big points on his chest, and the man couldn't move in an instant.

On the second floor, except for the disciples of the Eight Great Sects who were enjoying the food on the dinner table, the rest of the people were lying on the guardrail of the corridor early to watch the excitement below. Mu Ning glanced down from the side, then picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it all, and said with a smile, "It seems that this Xie Da gang leader has followed all the way, so he is so sure that this person is a fine work of Mobei mixed into the Central Plains." ”

"How did Senior Brother Mu know?" Fei Ming put down the wooden chopsticks in his hand, sat up straight, and glanced down, and said, "It's really the leader of the beggar gang, it seems that this person is going to suffer a little." ”

"You know?" Night Star picked up a small piece of fatty meat from the plate on the table and put it in his mouth, chewing it while following Mu Ning's line of sight.

"Relieve the wind?" Fei Ming asked.

"Yes," Night Star nodded, looking at Fei Ming carefully and asked, "Tianxianglou also has dealings with the beggar gang?"

"Tianxianglou is a holy place for healing, and it has dealings with all the major gangs in the rivers and lakes, what's so strange?" Yue Menghan of the Huashan faction snickered, "Is there anything wrong with associating with the beggar gang?"

"It's not," Ye Xing hurriedly put down the wooden chopsticks in his hand, waved his hand, and explained, "Senior Sister Yue is too worried, Tianxianglou is hanging pot to help the world, and she is the representative of our eight major factions, how can I have any doubts!"

"Still, be careful. Yingluo's forehead tightened, stared solemnly at the table, and said in a low voice, "Beggar gang, no.... Although they are known as the number one gang in the world, they are just a mixture of dragons and snakes, and we, as disciples of the Eight Great Sects, still keep our distance from them. Moreover, the masters are about to arrive in Jinling, and our top priority should be to find Cao Haotian as soon as possible. ”

"Yes..." everyone nodded in agreement, only Fei Ming, who was close to the guardrail, had a slightly strange expression.

......

After several days of drizzle, Mochou Lake is exceptionally clear, and many pleasure boats on the lake are rippling. A huge ship was slowly sailing towards the island in the center of the lake, and more than a dozen white-clothed men on both sides of the bow held their long swords in their chests with both hands, staring at the lake around the huge boat. Since the explosion of the two coffins in Tianxianglou Wujian Villa, everyone has already understood that the murder of Liu Tianjiang's two apprentices is inseparable from the barbarians in the south. Although the two major sects of Shaolin Temple and Emei cannot completely get rid of suspicion, Wujian Villa has determined that this matter is related to the southern border. Ye Lin, Liu Tianjiang, Qing Feng and a group of swordless disciples went all the way south to Jinling.

"Lin'er, this place is different from the mountain, we must be extremely careful. Liu Tianjiang sat in front of the window of the attic of the cabin, a ray of sunlight passed through his cheeks, and the famous martial arts house that had been up and down for a long time looked a little old at this moment.

Ye Lin gently put down the teacup in his hand, looking at Liu Tianjiang with wrinkles piling up in the corners of his eyes, an inexplicable sourness welled up in his heart. Ye Lin grabbed Liu Tianjiang's shriveled and rough arm with his slender hand, the corners of his eyes were a little moist, and he said softly, "Uncle Liu, you have been running for the Swordless Villa all your life, and we will never let the two senior brothers die in vain." ”

Liu Tianjiang picked up the wine glass in his right hand and slowly handed it to his mouth, he looked down at the ripples of the wine in the glass, his heart was immediately alert, and the corner of his eyes quickly swept over every part of the lake outside the window, this is the experience he has accumulated in the rivers and lakes all year round, even when he is resting, he will be alert to the movements around him, especially more than ten years ago, the Ming army almost attacked Taibai Peak. To this day, although the Ming Dynasty unified the Central Plains, it never dared to cross the Qinling Ancient Road for half a step. At this moment, a group of more than ten of them were involved in Jinling by themselves, and Ye Lin was already the only heir of the Swordless Villa, so he didn't dare to slack off.

"Lin'er," Liu Tianjiang looked at Ye Lin's immature eyes, although he was already the owner of the Swordless Mountain Villa, after all, he had just passed the year of the weak crown, and the sinister rivers and lakes could not be afforded. He glanced back at Qingfeng who was sitting at the door of the cabin, and he had been hiding in the west of the sea of clouds for more than ten years, but in the end he still fell short. Liu Tianjiang took a deep breath, looked at Ye Lin who was sitting opposite him, and said in a rough voice, "Jinling is different from Luoyang, this is the imperial capital of the Celestial Empire, the land of royalty. There are all kinds of masters of the rivers and lakes hidden here, and they will not be inferior to Luoyang and even the eight major factions of the rivers and lakes. The purpose of our trip is to follow closely behind the Eight Great Factions and investigate the assassination incident on the ancient road, and we must not act rashly. ”

"Oh, Uncle Liu, don't worry, I will definitely remember your teachings" Ye Lin withdrew his gaze, his gaze passed through Liu Tianjiang, looking at the breeze sitting at the hatch of the ship behind Liu Tianjiang, and sat there quietly, even the white-clothed disciples on the side did not dare to take a step closer.

"Him!" Ye Lin lowered his tone, pointed at Qingfeng with his right index finger, and asked Liu Tianjiang, "What's going on with Master Qingfeng?"

Liu Tianjiang coughed dryly, put the wine that had stopped in front of him into his mouth with his right hand, and took another breath, "When you get to Mingyue in the center of the lake, you will know what's going on, there are people he thinks about for a long time." ”

"Really?" Ye Lin's eyes lit up, and he poked his head out of the attic window and looked at the small island where the shadows were visible in the distance. "Then the island is Mingyueyun?"

Liu Tianjiang was still sitting upright, his nervous expression calmed down a little, he put down his wine glass, picked up the bamboo chopsticks and ate some dishes on the table, the bamboo chopsticks in his hand pointed to the ripples in the lake, "The water here is still, unless a breeze glides through, not as agitated as in our mountains." Mingyue Yuan is a secret residence of the villa in the south of the Yangtze River, where your uncle Mo Ruyu has always been in charge, which is why after we arrived in Jinling this morning, why I let them not have to look for an inn and come directly to Mochou Lake. ”

The sails move with the wind, the boatmen row the paddle boards hard, in the waters of more than 100 zhang away from the island in the center of the lake, the lake water suddenly becomes turbulent, the aquatic plants swing with the turbulent water at the bottom of the lake, the grass on the shore is like grass, there is no look of the middle of winter in the north at all, Ye Lin, Liu Tianjiang and Qingfeng and his party stand on the bow of the boat, looking at the courtyard of the island like a thin wave hidden in the island, and the dark whistles around the island in the middle of the lake are almost no different from the Wujian Villa. If you don't know how to trespass, I'm afraid that you will already die at the bottom of the lake and become a meal for fish and shrimp.

"Who dares to trespass on Mingyue Garden?" Two men who were hiding in the dense forest on both sides of the trail rushed out and blocked Ye Lin and his party, and the dense forest behind the two of them was fierce, and there seemed to be more than a hundred people coming from all directions.

Qingfeng walked quickly in front of Ye Lin and Liu Tianjiang, and with a wave of his right hand, he shook the two of them to the ground, he looked angry, and said sharply, "Two vertical people who don't know the height of the sky. "Bang, bang, the two men each have a palm print on the left and right cheeks, and the red palm prints are deeply pressed on the faces of the two of them, "Let your Mo Ruyu from Mingyue Yuan come out to greet you." His eyes widened, and the two of them hurriedly fell and crawled inside.

"Alas, senior brother, you shouldn't use such a means to surprise those people below if you want to see her?" Liu Tianjiang smiled evilly, he and Ye Lin walked past Qingfeng and walked along the path under their feet towards the center of the island.
