Chapter Forty-Six: Hanmei Ju (I)

When I got closer, the moonlight was just right at this time, and the appearance of the small courtyard in front of me was even more clear. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

It's like an ordinary farm yard, with a hut, a water tank outside, and a fence, but it gives people a sense of tranquility. The fence enclosed the hut, leaving only a small door directly in front of it. Looking through the small door, you can see a plaque hanging on the humble hut, which reads 'Hanmeiju'.

"Where's the plum blossom?" Bai Jike looked at for a long time and wondered.

"Isn't this summer? Nian Jiang said lightly.

"The plum trees are not still containing plum houses. Bai Jike said disdainfully, "What a bad name." ”

"Alright, be careful, let's go inside. The door in front of him was wide open, with the intention of inviting you to visit, Yang Che slowly pulled out the two short knives, handed them to Nian Jiang, and signaled the two to be careful.

Nian Jiang thanked him, carried the lantern, and walked between the two.

The courtyard was very empty, and if there was an ambush, you could see it at a glance. It was all wilderness, except for a dark wood, or the woods they had walked on their way to a distance. If there is an ambush, it will only be in the distance, and if you have walked through the woods before, there should be no ambush.

As soon as he walked into the fence gate, Bai Jike stretched out his hand to block it with his sword, the two looked over, he looked around, "You guys go in and be careful, I'll watch outside, be careful to surround me." ”

"Don't, they took your sword, I'll go look at the wind, you go in with Xiao Jiang. Yang Che held down the sword body and said lightly.

"Good. Bai Ji Ke bowed, the three of them separated, Yang Che walked towards the courtyard, and Bai Ji Ke Nianjiang and the two strode into the house.

Nian Jiang knew in his heart that there would be no ambush in the house, but it was not unreasonable for Bai Jike to think about going outside to watch the wind.

The two of them walked lightly and guarded into the house. There were a few clear noises overhead, and it was Yang Che who went up to the roof. It seems that there is nothing unusual in the yard.

The room was empty, and the moonlight shone in through the window shelves. It seems that no one has lived in it for a long time, there is nothing in it, and the thick layer of ash on the windows has not been pasted with window paper.

There is no light in the front corner, because there is nothing in the room, and the situation can be seen clearly at a glance, so the dark corner in front is suspicious.

"Who is it?" Bai Jike shouted as he looked at a silhouette in the darkness with sharp eyes. Nian Jiang's attention was attracted by him, and when he looked at it, it was a bunch of flowers.

Maybe it was a preconceived idea, that figure was no different from Ah Rong in his eyes.

Something really moved in the darkness, Bai Jike clenched his sword nervously, and the blade glowed with cold light in the moonlight.

A figure strolled slowly, and finally came under the light, and the cold moonlight hit her expressionless face, oozing a chill out of thin air.

"Girl?" Bai Jike frowned, pointing his sword at the other party. He recognized that this was the girl who recognized the wrong person a few days ago, and he couldn't help but scream in confusion, but he didn't let down his guard.

"Childe. "Of course, it's Ah Rong. Ah Rong slowly wrapped his luggage towards the two of them, and then handed over a letter. No one answered for a long time, and Nian Jiang didn't expose himself well, so he saw Ah Rong open his mouth slightly and said, "The master is the Great Elder of the Yun Sect, who has passed away, and has a last wish to ask the son." There was everything in the envelope, no mechanism. ”

"Yun Zong?" Bai Jike read, he had never heard this name before. It was still Nian Jiang who approached and whispered to him the meaning of the Yun Sect.

"Mechanic! Qimen Dunjia!" After listening to the explanation, Bai Jike was surprised. He paused, talked to Nian Jiang in a whisper for a while, didn't take the envelope, and asked, "What's the matter with the puppet outside?"

"The master took the last puppet and defended it against foreign enemies. Ah Rong said without a trace of emotion.

"Are you also a puppet?" the two glanced at each other, Nian Jiang stepped forward and took the envelope, and heard Bai Jike ask.

"Yes. The woman who stole Childe's sword before was also, and she wanted to ask Childe for help, but Childe left. Ah Rong said with a straight look, she had no tone to speak of, but Bai Jike was extremely embarrassed to hear it.

"It's not that you're too fast......," Bai Jike touched his head, and suddenly raised his voice, "Wait, didn't you tell me to see you in Tianqi City?"

"Puppet mutiny. Ah Rong said.

"Oh. Bai Jike scratched his head and turned to look at Nian Jiang, who had already opened the envelope at this time. Bai Jike took the lantern and held it up, Nian Jiang unfolded the paper inside and pointed it at the light, and the two looked like this.

Nian Jiang whispered:

"The old man's name is He Ye, and he is a disciple of the eighty-second generation of the Yun Sect, and he is fortunate to have an elder in the eyes of the sect master. He Ye did not seek fame in the world in his life, but only wanted to accept the Yun Sect. Thinking that the Yun Sect was also a large sect a hundred years ago, there were so many people who came here, and now there are only five disciples in the sect. The decline of the Yun Sect, the young master is still young and cannot be attributed, the sect master died early, and it is a sin not to let this inheritance be cut off from my hands. In the turmoil of the world, there is a pagan religion that rises, called 'Minghemen', which is not a demon and is not righteous, and wants to seek my sect. ”

The two glanced at each other and said in unison: "Minghemen?"

Read on.

"There are people from both the righteous and the demonic realms who have rebelled into this door, and there is no news that they have been suppressed. The old man intuitively felt that the Minghe Gate must not be simple, and the Yunzong was now overthrown, and the crime of Minghe was unforgivable. The old man didn't ask the young man to help me take revenge, I just hoped that the young man could bring a puppet left behind to the young master, and the young master would know the revenge when he saw the puppet.

"Another: Among the three young heroes, there is a young man surnamed Bai, and the leader of the Qianmeng League has been a member of the Bai family for generations, and the old man hopes that the young man can bring this news to the leader of the Qianmeng, and he will talk about the crane. Ming He's heart is big, and the rebellion of Hengren Pavilion must have its own plan. The matter of the Hengren Pavilion has not yet been reported at this time, but it can't be hidden for long. The medicine people who studied the Hengren Pavilion were exposed in public, and most of the medicine people had many corpses in the place where the medicine was hidden, and they were already angry, just like the poison doctors at that time. However, half of the disciples of the Hengren Pavilion defected to the Demon Sect and spread poison all the way to harm people's lives, but the old man felt that it was inappropriate, and there was a shadow of a bright crane in this matter. ”

The medicine researcher of the Hengren Pavilion was exposed in public.

Hengren Pavilion researches medicine people.

Hengren Pavilion, Medicine Man......

It seems to remember that the position of Hengren Pavilion and the poison doctor is a mortal enemy, and Nian Jiang is so sensitive to the matter of poisoning people and medicine people, he almost felt inappropriate the moment he read it.

And Minghe......

Nian Jiang was silent for a few moments, and there was not much content left, it was all the other party's nagging and the introduction of Ah Rong's identity and the young master's identity.

His mind was spinning quickly, combining the news he had learned all the way and connecting what He Ye said.

The imperial court is currently emerging, and the power of the rivers and lakes has been suppressed for a while. The people of the Qianmeng encountered along the way, the strange attitude, the people who were suspected of being demons, and the inexplicable poison, the attitude of the head catcher in Xiacun to solve the ruler Yin Gate...... Now the Myeonghemon Gate has been newly added. The news is disorganized. In the dark, I feel that there is still a clue missing, or a node, that can connect these things and get a complete story. There is also Hengren Pavilion, who is a mortal enemy of the poison doctor, who is researching medicine people, and the poison doctor has made a lot of poison people before, and he is a semi-poisonous person.

A guess naturally popped up in Nian Jiang's mind: What if the Hengren Pavilion was also looking for a way to make a half-medicine man?

This is exactly the same as the poison doctor's actions.

There were many poisonous people before the poison doctor did it to him, and even when Nian Jiang was lying on the stone table and letting him take medicine, he would be seen testing the medicine on the experimental body next to him.

Could it be that there is such a possibility?

This thought began to grow vigorously like a plant that had been fertilized, and the root system gradually deepened, occupying Nian Jiang's entire mind. For a moment, Nian Jiang held his breath.

Bai Jike next to him was pale.

"Young man surnamed Bai......" He thought silently in his heart, his eyes reflected the appearance of the word 'Minghe', I don't know what he thought, his face turned white all of a sudden.

"I'm going to find San'er. He snatched the letter, and Nian Jiang came back to his senses, but he was still immersed in the thoughts just now and didn't notice Bai Jike's strange appearance. He stood there for a moment, looking at Rong, who shook his head at him and retreated back into the shadows. I don't know if the lantern is too bright, Nian Jiang saw that Ah Rong's clothes were in tatters, and the exposed arms were full of wood slag and scratches, and the palms were gone. He was stunned for a moment before going out to find the two.

There was no sound outside the door, and there was no footsteps on the roof that could still be heard. The roof is made of wood, and Yang Che deliberately stepped on it a little heavier just now to let them know. Now there is no sound at all.

"Bang!" the sound of metal hitting the ground came from outside the door, and Nian Jiang paused and pulled out his short knife.

The firelight illuminated the entire field, and the small courtyard was surrounded by torches. It turned out that it was not an illusion that the lantern was lit up just now, but the bright light outside the window.

As soon as Nian Jiang walked over, he saw Bai Jike holding a sword in front of his chest, assuming a fighting posture.

In front of them stood a line of people, each with a torch in their hands, and behind them there was a row of people with flashing knives in their hands.

A richly dressed man stood at the front with his hands behind his back, originally looking at Bai Jike with a funny face, but now he looked at Nian Jiang.

Behind him, a person tied up Yang Che, and a short knife lay on the ground like this.

Suddenly, Bai Jike's voice sounded: "The city lord of Tianqi City is here, and he doesn't think this place is dilapidated. ”

City Lord?!

Nian Jiang's eyelids jumped. Although the power of the rivers and lakes is still large, this kind of cities, villages and towns are still controlled by the imperial court. The master died, and when he asked them to come out to meet at night, he met someone from the court who was not good, how strange it looked.

Could it be that the imperial court wants to establish its authority to attack the rivers and lakes? Nian Jiang couldn't help but think. Suddenly sounded in his head, the group of puppets in the forest that Ah Rong said before was to defend against foreign enemies, they were recruited by the mechanic to help, and they should not be within the range of the enemy. So the enemy of defense is not the people of the imperial court or Minghemen?
