On the second day, the two traveled all the way and returned to Beijing in a few days. As soon as I arrived at the city gate, I saw an endless stream of people coming and going at the city gate, thinking that it was to see the martial arts conference, but I heard the local dialects, presumably from all over the world. The two dismounted and walked with the reins, and as soon as they arrived at the gate of the Guangxiao faction, they saw Lin Yao standing alone at the door and waved at them, Shan Yushu looked at it and saw that Lin Yao was the only one, so he asked, "What about the others?" Lin Yao looked at a large number of Lin Xiaotian, and said with some concern: "It's good for you to come back, Xiao Zhuge and Su Fei's father and daughter went to the martial arts conference to register." ”

Shan Yushu sighed, and then asked rhetorically, "Why didn't you go?" Lin Yao said with a little weakness: "I had something just now, but I didn't have time." Shan Yushu observed very slightly, and secretly felt that Lin Yao had any secrets, so he didn't ask again, and the three of them walked into the main hall quickly.

The three of them sat down, and Lin Yao asked, "Brother Shan Yu, what is the bottom of the West City of the Divine Domain that can be explored?" Shan Yushu said slowly: "Let's wait for Xiao Zhuge and a few people to come and discuss." Lin Yao's expression was a little anxious, and Shan Yushu on the side must have some secret when he looked at it, and said to himself, "Could it be that the purple qi secret book is really in Lin Yao's hands?"

After a while, Xiao Zhuge and the Su father and daughter came back, Shan Yushu pulled them to sit down, and then told everyone the news of the inquiry. Xiao Zhuge hammered his hammer hand and said, "It's bad, the person caught in Xiaoyao Villa that day was delivered to Taiwei Zhang in the capital." ”

Shan Yushu asked, "What did Ling Hu Shanyu do later?" "Little Zhuge slowed down" Brother Lin Yao was responsible for going to see it these days. Lin Yao raised his head and said with a straight face, "There is no problem with him there, but he has been in close contact with Taiwei Zhang in recent days, somehow."

Xiao Zhuge frowned, and said slowly, "A few years ago, I didn't see him have something to do with Taiwei Zhang, but now it seems a little strange?"

So Shan Yushu left the Guangxiao faction alone and went to Xiaoyao Villa, but before he arrived at Xiaoyao Villa, he smelled a burning smell. But see, the fire in the Xiaoyao Villa is spreading, and the surrounding people are fighting the fire, at this time, there are children's crying, there are people's shouts, the scene is chaotic, and this order is even more confusing in the book. He left Xiaoyao Villa and thought about going to the registration office of the martial arts conference, there were many people along the way, he didn't pay much attention, went straight to the registration office, but saw the long queue from the yard to the entrance of the street, he stood a little impatiently, and then walked out of the courtyard at this time, and took a closer look at it was Wang Weili, the eldest disciple of the Hefei faction, he hurriedly walked in and asked: "Have you ever seen the name of Xiaoyao Villa on the paper book when you registered, Linghu Shanyu?"

Wang Weili looked confused, "Linghu Shanyu?"

Shan Yushu was even more puzzled, stomped his feet, and chatted with Wang Weili for a few words, and then Wang Weili pulled him to go to the inn for a few drinks, Shan Yushu didn't shirk and walked with him, and the two walked through the East Street and walked towards the market.

At this time, it was the afternoon, the weather was slightly cool, some drizzle was low, and the soil on the street was fine and soft, and neither of them was tired of walking briskly, but when they saw the people rushing forward, the mud could not help splashing on the trouser legs, muttering and muttering to God.

The two sat down in a restaurant in the noisy part of the market, and at this time, due to the rain, there were many people gathered in the restaurant. Shan Yushu looked around, and saw that most of them were carrying swords and carrying swords, and they were dressed as martial arts people.

There are 20% of this restaurant, which only sells some food and wine, and does not live in people. At this time, Dan saw a group of people sitting in the center of the first floor, and in the middle of the crowd, a white-haired old man hung a wine jug from his waist, with a long beard, and a smile on his face. Shan Yushu looked at the old man a few more times, and listened to him tell about the gangs on the rivers and lakes again, his expression was flying, the more he talked, the more energetic he became, and from time to time he also drank a little wine, and the onlookers listened to it with relish, and there was applause from time to time.

At this time, the rain is heavier, the sound of dripping water under the eaves, the sound of passers-by stepping on the rain, the hotel is becoming more and more crowded, and gradually becomes crowded.

The old man saw that there were more and more people gathering, and his heart was even more energetic, but he heard the old man say: "Back then, when Huangshan was talking about swords, all the masters gathered in order to fight for the purple gas cheats", Shan Yushu heard the "purple gas cheats" secretly had more eyes, and made up in the middle, since the last time he heard this cheat from Sun Zhengyi's mouth, he was always thinking about it, he wanted to ask Lin Yao in person, but seeing his expression made people have some doubts, so he didn't want to ask him first.

I heard the old man say: "When I was still young, I just heard the master, and the elders and others said that although Nan Qiyang tore up the purple qi secret book in front of him, some people heard that his apprentice secretly saw his master but also copied a book whose name was also changed, but he couldn't see what it was changed to, and later his apprentice Sun Zhengyi was too selfish and admired the rights of the court, and was expelled from the division by him."

At this time, someone in the crowd shouted, "As a person from the rivers and lakes, how can he get involved with the imperial court, there is really something wrong with this person." Someone else said: "Power and wealth cannot avoid being envied, and this Sun Zhengyi can be regarded as the number one person among the people in the rivers and lakes."

The old man stroked his beard, took a few sips, and continued: "Later, there were rumors that Zixia's secret book was obtained by Guo Jinren of "Beixia Xing", but no one knows whether it is true or not. "Then Guo Jinren is Master Lin Yao.

Shan Yushu also looked solemn and nodded.

Wang Weili didn't care about this secret book, but he just saw Shan Yushu listening carefully, and did not interrupt him, so he quietly sat on the stool where there were few people, asked for a small pot of wine and side dishes, and poured wine and ate alone.

The old man's demeanor changed, and he said with a smile: "In recent days, the fire in Xiaoyao Mountain Villa has dispersed, and the owner of the village has made Hu Shanyu not know where to go, and there are rumors in the rivers and lakes that he has frequent contact with Lin Yao, and it seems that the true purple gas secret book has fallen into the hands of Ling Hu Shanyu again. ”

Many people in the crowd said, "Is the news reliable?" In this way, it seems that Lin Yao was smart and he was also deceived by Linghu Shanyu. ”

The old man continued: "That Linghu Shanyu is not the old Linghu Shanyu, even Su Jianhao didn't notice it, but the people in the rivers and lakes found out that he had a close relationship with Beijing Taiwei Zhang a few years ago. ”

At this time, the rain outside was slightly smaller, and some merchants and vendors left the hotel, and just went out and shouted, "Look at the old and young masters who come and go, the high-quality cigarette shavings" The old man also shouted loudly when he saw this: "The coming day is long, why don't we change the green mountains, there will be a period in the future." After speaking, he got up and left the hotel slowly, and everyone saw that there was no more excitement, some left, and some were drinking on the side.

Shan Yushu saw others drinking and then remembered Wang Weili, and when he saw him sitting in the corner, he quickly apologized, and Wang Weili even shouted that it was okay, and then they all started drinking. Shan Yushu asked if there was anything else besides participating in the martial arts conference this time, and Wang Weili told Shan Yushu about the later gangs, all relying on their help at that time, because he deliberately wanted to thank Lin Xiaotian and Su Fei.

Then the two came to open a hotel and came to the Guangxiao faction, Lin Xiaotian was very happy to see Wang Weili, and asked Li Zhiqing what happened later. As he spoke, Wang Weili took out a handkerchief from his hand and handed it to Lin Xiaotian, only to see a pair of mandarin ducks embroidered on it, vivid. After Lin Xiaotian saw it, he liked to catch it with one hand, smiled and thanked him again and again. Wang Weili said that after that day, Li Zhiqing and Zhang Xiaoyu had left the gang, but they didn't say where they went, but they just entrusted me to tell you that you would meet again in the future.

Su Fei on the side sighed, with a look of envy on his face, and then arranged for Wang Weili to stay, Wang Weili excused himself and said that the capital already had a place to settle down, and the imperial court specially prepared it, and he didn't want to disturb everyone anymore, and then left.

After a while, a disciple came in from outside the door, saying that it was Taiwei Zhang who sent an invitation to Shan Yushu and Lin Xiaotian, and Su Fei went to the house to get together, and said that he was busy with things today, so he didn't have to come to invite him in person, so he was a little lazy, and he asked for forgiveness, and he would definitely be entertained when he came to the house. 、

Shan Yushu was also a little surprised, afraid that Taiwei Zhang would not be good, so he asked Xiao Zhuge for his opinion. Xiao Zhuge said, "I am going to probe the details of the other party, and now I can go openly."

Then the three of them left the gang together with Xiao Zhuge and rode straight down the street. The Taiwei Mansion is the highest authority in the capital except for the palace, and the four of them dare not slack off, and they will go to the Taiwei Mansion after a while.

But I can see a high pole towering, the stone lion carved in front of the door is blazing, more than a dozen soldiers stand in an orderly manner on the left and right two columns, and a high plaque is hung on the top of the wall on the door. The four of them were scolded in the past, and Lin Xiaotian angrily took out the invitation card for the soldiers to see, and then sent someone to pass the message, and after waiting for a while, someone led them into the mansion. Lin Xiaotian spat and scolded, "This official family is really showy", and the four of them walked along the corridor, but they saw rockeries, pools, trees, and birds, which seemed to enter a paradise, which made people feel refreshed. Xiao Zhuge made a look at him, and signaled everyone not to say much, and everything was arranged by him.

The four of them, led by their subordinates, walked through the corridor again, entered the backyard, then turned right, took them to a west house, and settled down, "You must not walk around, Taiwei Zhang will come in a while"

Xiao Zhuge saw that there were a lot of people patrolling the mansion, suggesting that Lin Xiaotian was secretly asked to look around. Lin Xiaotian pretended to cover his stomach with his hands, asked where the thatched house was, and left. He first ran to the small garden in the south, but smelled the fragrance of flowers, after crossing the garden is a hut, walked over to see that there was no one patrolling here, he quietly opened the door with a knife, although there was no lamp in the house, but the light could also be seen clearly, but saw that the front few shelves were placed on the hearts and moves of various factions of the rivers and lakes, and after walking through a small wooden box, he gently opened the lock, and saw that it was a brand-new record of grudges and grievances of the Jianghu sect, and slowly opened it and hid it in his arms after reading a few pages, and looked through other things to see that there was nothing special, so he gently stepped out of the door again, closed the door, and returned to the original road。

The air in Beijing City that has just rained is fresh, the weather in July is covered by dark clouds, but the sky is black at this time, everyone waited for about an hour to see that Zhang Taiwei did not come, at the moment Lin Xiaotian scolded a few words angrily, Xiao Zhuge happily persuaded him not to worry, Su Fei looked at the leaves on the side and was stunned, Shan Yushu was also a little impatient, and the people who quietly patrolled along the corridor did not ask much when they saw this, he passed the corridor, bypassed the grass and trees on the side of the two, and there was an ancient pavilion in front of him, but he saw a rich man in official clothes, low and fat, with long hair hanging down his temples, and a leisurely expression holding the man on the side。 Shan Yushu took advantage of the fact that the two of them were not paying attention to the side of the tree next to the ancient pavilion, and the man who knew by listening to the voice was Linghu Shanyu, the owner of Xiaoyao Villa, and the fat man thought that it was Taiwei Zhang.

But when he heard it, Linghu Shanyu said: "I have released the wind, and the purple gas secret book that people in the rivers and lakes will smell in a few days is in Lin Yao's hands." Taiwei Zhang smiled and sat down, and said, "Okay over there, there is enough for Lin Yao to eat a pot now." After saying that, the two of them haha, loudly. This laughter was mixed with a wicked laugh, which made Shan Yushu tremble a little, but then he thought about the righteousness and righteousness that day, didn't Son Zhengyi just want Lin Yao to hand over the secret book of Linghu Shanyu, so he felt that there must be some conspiracy here.

He didn't dare to gasp, and he heard Taiwei Zhang say, "Then when the martial arts conference is poured, why don't we publicize it again, the winner will get the purple qi cheat, and Lin Yao will be even more troublesome." Linghu Shanyu said again: "This opportunity is very good, and now it is good to eradicate Lin Yao's stumbling block." ”

Shan Yushu was a little confused, and said to himself, "Didn't this make Hu Shanyu get along with Lin Yao more than ten years ago, why is this so?" He couldn't figure it out for a while, and then heard Taiwei Zhang say, "Okay, that's it for now, I'm going to pretend to send Shan Yushu and the others, you go first." ”

As soon as Shan Yushu heard it, when the two of them turned around, they crossed the grass and trees, walked to the corridor, and quickly went back to the same place, whispering what they heard to Xiao Zhuge , Xiao Zhuge looked on the side, and just said, "Let's see how he Taiwei Zhang sends them away." ”

After a while, Taiwei Zhang and his subordinates came to the vicinity of the Westinghouse, and before the people arrived, they shouted: "I really have long admired the name of the book, and I have admired it for a long time." As he spoke, he walked to Shan Yushu's side, and he saw that there was another scholar dressed up, a little surprised, and asked in a low voice that seemed to be angry. "Why don't you sue me for someone else? The man's face changed, and he trembled and didn't say anything.

Xiao Zhuge waved his feather fan and said with a calm expression: "I'm afraid that they don't know the way, and Su Fei can't take care of them alone, so I personally sent them here." Taiwei Zhang ignored it, and once Shan Yushu laughed a few times, pulled him and went to the West House, and watched you all come in as you walked. As soon as Lin Xiaotian saw this Taiwei Zhang, he remembered the righteous and upright Zhang Fat man in Taiyuan that day, and thought that he must be a relative, so he was a little resentful, muttered and scolded him, and then several people entered the house.

This West House is not big but also bright, a writing desk is placed in the center, ink pens, paper Xuan, books, neatly arranged, on the left and right sides of the wall are famous paintings, a curtain to separate the desk from the chair. Taiwei Zhang hurriedly beckoned them to sit down, Xiao Zhuge looked at the room, and was also in awe, "Taiwei is really knowledgeable, admirable and admirable", Taiwei Zhang still didn't look at Xiao Zhuge and said to Shan Yushu: "The martial arts conference will start in a few days, and there is one less person in charge of things in the house. ”

Shan Yushu waved his hand and said that he was incompetent and could not bear the heavy responsibility. Taiwei Zhang still invited affectionately, Xiao Zhuge made a look, and Shan Yushu said: "Then let me go back and think about it, and I will come to the door for a return visit in a few days." Only then did Taiwei Zhang calm down, looked at Lin Xiaotian and Su Fei again, and praised the two of them for being young and promising, and they must be rising stars in the rivers and lakes. Lin Xiaotian was a little happy when he heard this, but Su Fei said to himself, "This Taiwei Zhang is just blindly flattering others, and he is not a person to make friends with", so he did not speak. He sat quietly.

Xiao Zhuge inquired about the living conditions of the people in Beijing during this time, but Zhang Taiwei said a few words, and coped with it, and when he asked about the gang of the Dao Martial Arts Conference, he talked with great interest, and said to Xiao Zhuge for a long time, and then said, "This move of the martial arts conference is intended to unite all gangs to do their part for the imperial court, and I also hope that everyone will live in harmony, and do not seek revenge for the previous grievances, so as not to let the people in the rivers and lakes fall into the bloody storm." ”

After sitting around for a few hours, Taiwei Zhang invited everyone to dinner, Xiao Zhuge thought for a while, and secretly made everyone go. So a few people went to the main hall but saw that on the table, chickens, ducks, fish, vegetables, fruits, everything, and some had never seen them, Lin Xiaotian didn't care about others, he picked up the chopsticks and rushed to eat.

An hour later, a few people left the mansion, the night on the road was lonely, the street was depressed and uninhabited, the people's homes were already sleepy, Lin Xiaotian said while walking, "This meal is delicious, but this Taiwei Zhang doesn't know how much money has been robbed of the people." Xiao Zhuge sighed and replied indignantly, "One day they will be repaid." Others were indignant.

Soon, a few people arrived at the Guangxiao faction, and Shan Yushu saw that Lin Yao had been in a state of mind for the past few days, so he took his hand and motioned to go outside as soon as he stepped forward. No one else paid attention to the two of them. Xiao Zhuge told Su Jianhao what he heard again, asked everyone to take precautions, and sent more people to patrol, then he put his mind at ease, sat on the chair, thought for a while, and then walked to the room, and several other people also shouted that they were a little sleepy and went back to the house.
