Qiu Guanghan leaned slightly sideways, his elbows propped on the side of the boat. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info What I just want to ask is - do you - already regard Ling Li as a friend?

Nothing like that.

Then why did you save his life three or four times - don't take that gambling contract out to talk about it, I don't believe it. Is there any other reason?

No. Zhuo Yan said. He's just being eaten by wild beasts now, and I don't care.

But I think you care a lot when he's in danger, and you don't have any friendship......

Zhuo Yan hummed noncommittally, turned around and looked down at the water.

You said before that you wanted to pull him into Suzaku Villa—did the Divine Monarch already know about him and specially confess to you? Would you care so much about his life and death, is it also the meaning of the Divine Monarch?

Zhuo Yan glanced at her. As I already said, the Divine Monarch didn't know about Ling Li's person at all.

Don't sell Guanzi, okay? Qiu Guanghan said dissatisfiedly. Anyway, I went to Suzaku Villa, and I would know everything, so what if you told me earlier!

Zhuo Yan looked at her expression. In that case, let's wait until Suzaku Villa. He laughed.

Qiu Guanghan was made out of temper by him, so he had to snort and stop talking.

-------------------------

Suddenly, there was a report. Tuoba struggled to pull himself together—he didn't feel sleepy, he just felt sullen all the time. It seems that Ling Li and Qiu Guanghan have never heard back. Although the March period has not yet arrived, he still inevitably feels that the atmosphere is a little abnormal, and the clues that there will be Su Fufeng on Zhuang Jie's side are also stranded because Zhang Gongchang has not returned to Tiandu as expected. Even though he has countless important things to do, for some reason, he always gives birth to one or two points of inattention.

What's the matter?, his heavy voice still steady, raised his eyes to look at the man at the door.

The owner of Xia Zhuang asked to see him outside the valley. That's humane.

Xia Zheng? Tuoba said to himself. This time, I didn't say hello at all, but I came to the door, which was not a good sign.

He put what he was holding. Let him in!, Tuoba Gu's tone of words, as if he had made all the preparations.

- Are you alone? When Xia Zheng arrived, he said something like this.

Why? Suddenly—but it didn't seem to be coming for me?

I want to know - Ling Li and Guang Han, are the two of them back?

Tuoba Gu was not pleased with his tone, but when he saw that his tone was urgent, and he seemed to be very serious, he said, "You haven't come back yet—you came to them?"

I went to Taihu Lake to investigate Murong Xun according to my appointment with you, and I met the two of them. Xia Zheng said. But the investigation was inconclusive, and the two of them made another appointment, so I temporarily returned home – only to receive such a letter.

Xia Zheng said, took out a note from his bosom, and handed it to Tuoba Gu. Look.

Tuoba Gu Zhan letter, read it skimmingly, and frowned.

On the shore of Taihu Lake that day, we were already extremely suspicious that Chong'an Temple was the place where Murong Jing and others settled. Xia Zheng continued. But Ling Li went to investigate in person, but came out and said that this was not the case. I was suspicious, but I never thought he would lie to me.

Slowly, you first tell me what happened to them in Taihu Lake this time, and tell me in detail.

Xia Zheng nodded and told him one by one. Tuoba Gu glanced at the letter a few more times. In other words, he said that he was not suspicious in Chong'an Temple that day, but after you returned home, you received a letter from him, saying that Murong Xun was actually in Chong'an Temple that day?

Not bad. But when I rushed there again, Murong Xun and the others had already left—I really couldn't figure out why Ling Li suddenly wanted to hide this matter to assist them at that time, and then tell the truth by letter afterwards. It seems that you don't know anything about this?

He remembered to write to you. Tuoba Gu folded the letter and said. But here in this seat, I have never received the slightest message.

I'm really worried. Xia Zheng said. Was Ling Li coerced by people at that time? Do you know the period between them and people?

Know.

Do you know where they went?

As far as I know, it should be the area of Jiuhua Mountain.

Xia Zheng sighed. Isn't that the vicinity of Suzaku Cave......?

We don't have to worry about it first. Tuoba lonely road. Since Ling Li sent this letter to you, you should think about what his purpose is.

If he wanted to make it easier for him to go to Murong Xun for revenge, Chong'an Temple would have lost his figure. Where they will go next is not mentioned in the letter—do you think his letter is the opposite, aimless? It doesn't even sound like the harsh tone of the past...... It's like...... Let me use an inappropriate analogy...... It's like explaining some aftermath, it seems that he feels that he can't stand me for lying that day, and he wants to tell the truth at this moment, but in fact, he is neither admitting his mistake nor having the intention of making up for his mistakes, he just seems to want to ignore this matter anymore and throw it all out......

Xia Zheng said this, but sighed, and said, since he is not here, you must not have a reason to ask about this matter - the favor owed to you will eventually be repaid, so I will leave!

When Xia Zheng was about to leave, suddenly someone was outside the door, enlightening the sect leader, Zhuang Jie came to visit!

Xia Zheng sighed softly. Zhuang Jie?

Call him in. Tuoba Gu smiled slightly. Don't rush to leave, wouldn't it be nice to hear what else I have here?

I don't think you have anything to do with Zhuang Jie.

In the same Huizhou, there are some.

That Zhuang Jie had already walked in, caught a glimpse of Xia Zheng, and was slightly stunned.

Xia Zheng, the owner of Lin'an Xiajiazhuang, should Mr. Zhuang also recognize it? Tuoba Gu saw his expression and spoke first.

Belch...... I've been looking up for a long time. Zhuang Jie was a little embarrassed.

The owner of Xia Zhuang is not an outsider, and Mr. Zhuang has any news to inform this seat, but it doesn't matter. Tuoba Gu said, glancing at Xia Zheng. Xia Zheng also glanced back at him. The sentence "Master Xia Zhuang is not an outsider" suddenly made him feel very useful in his heart.

Since the Sect Master said so...... Zhuang Jie also fixed his mind and said, Zhuang said-the bow is back.

Xia Zheng was secretly taken aback in his heart. Is Zhang Gongchang? The Zhang Gongchang who failed in the Taihu Lake assassination attack was actually a person from the Tiandu?

He had already told Tuoba Gu everything before, which naturally included the fact that Zhang Gongchang wanted to put him to death. At this moment, he was surprised, but seeing that Tuoba Gu had not spoken first, he suppressed his excitement and remained silent.

Oh?, Tuoba asked rhetorically, to put it mildly. So to say - his mission is accomplished?

It doesn't seem to be. Zhuang Jie said. I'm afraid that this time he encountered some trouble, so that he did not return for a long time, but why, I can't ask.

Tuoba Gu sneered and leaned forward. You're here to tell me the news—what do you want me to do?

Didn't the sect leader want news about Yu Rui and Su Fufeng?

What about the news?

This...... Zhuang Jie couldn't help but stop. I asked a few questions, but unfortunately he was very tight-tongued, so ......

He paused. In fact, I came this time to discuss with the sect leader - Zhuang thought of a way, but I don't know if the sect leader agreed.

Let's hear it. Tuoba lonely road.

The bow chief had seen Su Fufeng on the road, but he must not have known that there was another person in the world who looked so similar to him. If Miss Su pretended to be Fufeng and went to him, he would probably not be able to tell the difference. We just had to think of an excuse to say that Yu Rui had asked her to come back and take a sample, and he let his guard down and then he could talk.

Interesting, you said that you want to fold the feather to pretend to be Su Fufeng? Tuoba Gu sneered.

Yes - I want to think about it, and this is the only way, it depends on the sect leader...... Let's see if the sect leader is willing to let Miss Su take this risk......

Tuoba Gu seemed to be thinking. Su Zheyu was not around today, but it made him even more fortunate - because if she heard it, she would have to go noisily anyway.

He naturally didn't want her to take this risk, but if this was the only way at the moment, should he still veto it immediately? What's more, this seemed like an opportunity to take a closer look at the Heavenly Capital!

Let this seat be considered. Tuoba Gu's answer made Zhuang Jie breathe a sigh of relief, but he didn't know that Tuoba Gu had other plans.

--------------------------

Zhang Gongchang's residence stood alone in the shade of the mountain, but he would never be alone.

On that day, Zhuo Yan promised to tell Ling Li's location after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, but who expected that before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, he would not say goodbye. This made Zhang Gongchang dissatisfied. Because there were important "guests" to entertain, neither he nor Murong Xun said anything.

He didn't know that Zhuo Yan had reminded Ling Li and the others to leave Jiangyin three times in one day—of course, he didn't know that the important "guest" in front of him was the reason for those three reminders. He only knew that he was a Dongying person, a powerful Dongying person.

---------------------

Qiu Guanghan looked at Zhuo Yan in amazement. You're not wrong - it's Ivan Miao's father?

It's him.

Qiu Guanghan nodded in realization. Then it's no wonder, Brother Ling is his great enemy. It's just that I still don't understand—why are you helping us? Is Brother Ling's life really relevant to you?

This is the fourteenth time she has asked Zhuo Yan this question since she got on the boat. This time, Zhuo Yan didn't avoid her gaze, and the outline of her eyes softened slightly.

Entrusted by others. - It's short, but it's also an answer.

Who is it? If it is not your god, why do you want to listen to it?

Because I owe this man a great deal of human affection. Zhuo Yan's eyes were gentle, and her eyelids closed slightly.

Then why does this person take special care of Brother Ling? Could it be that he owes Brother Ling a favor? Qiu Guanghan said with a smile.

Maybe you should ask him in person. Zhuo Yan said. I think you'll meet soon.

Oh, I'm really curious. Qiu Guanghan laughed.

Zhuo Yan frowned. He wants me to leave such an important "guest" behind for you, but he doesn't know whether it's right or wrong?

----------

Yi Yu came to the Central Plains a month ago. Zhuo Yan has many eyes and ears, knowing that he came here because he learned the news of the murder of his daughter Yi Yumiao, and decided to come to avenge him in person. Ling Li is certainly one of them, but the more important thing is the Blue Dragon Sect.

Zhuo Yan naturally immediately hooked up with him, and because of the common enemy of the Blue Dragon Sect, of course, he also hit it off. Zhuo Yan came to Jiangyin, not for Zhang Gongchang, naturally not only for Murong Xun, but more importantly, because he made an appointment with Yi Yuanjun.

Although Zhuo Yan had no plan to take Yi Feijun to meet the Vermilion Bird Divine Monarch, he had already thought of a way to settle him, which would not restrict his freedom, and at the same time give him a place in the Suzaku Cave. Originally, he planned to wait for Yi Yujun to come to Jiangyin, so he went to the Vermilion Bird Cave with Murong Xun, and by the way, he also went to the appointment with Ling Li, but he thought that these three people were all people who wanted to take Ling Li's life, especially after Chong'an Temple stopped Murong Xun from attacking Ling Li that day, he actually felt that this matter was very dangerous, so he temporarily changed the place and asked Ling Li and the two to go to the outskirts of Pingjiang. He knew that he had already lost his bet, and he planned to rush back to the Vermilion Bird Cave after seeing Ling Li, but he didn't leave any more words, who would have thought that Qiu Guanghan would actually calculate the two of them, and finally he had to change his plan and send Qiu Guanghan to the Vermilion Bird Villa for rest.

Anyway, the left and right are just invitations. In comparison, it seems that it is easier to please a pure yin daughter, right?

He was silent, looking at Qiu Guanghan, his expression did not change at all.

Fortunately, what should have been said to Yi Fei has been said. Before Murong Xun officially sat on the position of the lord of the Vermilion Bird Cave, he first entertained Yi Yu Jun on his behalf, which was not very inappropriate. Zhang Gongchang was angry in his heart. Murong Xun seemed to have forgotten to promise him to take Ling Li's life, and Ling Li's whereabouts were unknown. He had promised Murong Xun to give him a few days, but when he followed him to the Vermilion Bird Cave, he had nothing to do.

So, let's take this sullen and go back to the capital first. Although this was the first time he had returned without completing his mission, no one here cared about him anyway, and no one dared to ask him if he had succeeded or not.

But Zhuang Jie came.

Zhang Gongchang always has a sympathetic contempt for Zhuang Jie, and does not take him seriously, but he is not disgusted, just vigilantly and indifferently perfunctory. Sometimes he thinks it's not a bad thing for someone to say a few words, even if it's boring enough. But if it weren't for that, Zhuang Jie wouldn't have had a chance to learn the news of this mission from him.

Since Zhuang Jie came yesterday, he has disappeared today. Zhang Gongchang drank a few glasses of morning wine, and when he came back, it was dawn, and not long after he entered the house, someone was knocking on his door.

Who?" he immediately turned around in alarm, his hand already grasping the arrow.

It's me. The voice is low and gentle, déjà vu, but also unrecognizable.

Who are you?" he asked, not letting his guard down because it was a woman.

Su Fufeng. The man outside the door whispered.

Su Fufeng?

Zhang Gongchang sneered in his heart, held the arrow in his right hand, and opened the door with his left hand. ——Su Fufeng had already left this place with Yu Rui, how could it be Su Fufeng? The outsider had not made any move, and the long arrow had already reached his throat.

She looked at him with a blank look. Zhang Gongchang was also stunned. Who is this woman, who is this woman if she is not Su Fufeng?

Why are you here?" he wondered.

Why can't I be here?

Zhang Bowchang took the arrow. Yu Rui won't come too, will he?

I'm alone.

Zhang Gongchang opened slightly to the side, let her into the room, and sneered. What, he's relieved that you're coming to me alone?

Su Fufeng looked back. Why don't you ask me why I came to you?

If you want to say it, you will naturally say it. Zhang Gong sat down in the chair. Coincidentally, I just came back.

Unfortunately. Su Fu Feng Dao. I'm coming with you.

Zhang Gongchang frowned.

- This Su Fufeng is naturally not the real Su Fufeng, but out of Su Zhiyu's disguise. Seeing Zhang Gongchang's expression, she said quietly and tentatively, I heard that you killed Ling Li, and my eldest brother asked me to ask you for something.

Zhang Gongchang's mind turned slightly. You're talking about the black sword? I promised him to give it to him when I returned to Suzaku Villa, and you won't come back so far just for this matter?

Su Zhiyu took a breath in his heart. Since Zhang Gongchang's previous words, she had determined that Su Fufeng had indeed left with Yu Rui, but she didn't know where the two of them went, and listening to Zhang Gongchang's meaning, it seemed that he had taken her to Vermilion Bird Villa, how could she not be shocked in her heart! If this is the case, then finding Su Fufeng's whereabouts has become a matter of finding the location of Suzaku Villa.

Zhang Gongchang glanced at her and said, "But it's okay if you want it, anyway, the sword is of little use to me." He pointed to the tall cabinet next to him.

Su Zhiyu subconsciously looked to the side. The cabinet was high, and the eyes were up, and there was no sword in sight. The cold silver light flickered, and the steel arrows of the bow were bullied, and the silver was close in a flash. Su Zheyu's wrist flipped sharply, and the sword in his sleeve blocked this style. This was her deliberate attempt to imitate Su Fufeng, but the sleeves of her shirt flipped and hung down, revealing Bai Shengsheng's wrist.

- Where did Su Fufeng have such a wrist? If she remembers correctly, her wrist has been worn by the chain and is full of scars, and it has never healed so quickly. Zhang Gongchang became more and more sure in his heart, and said with a sneer, You are not Su Fufeng at all! The long arrow probed again and stabbed at Su Fuyu's neck. Who are you?

Su Zheyu naturally didn't need to answer, he dodged away, and the "sleeve sword" popped out, and it turned out to be an arm knife. After exchanging a few moves, she did not lose to Zhang Gongchang at all.

Zhang Gongchang was secretly frightened, stretched out his long hand, and grabbed the bow in his hand. Su Zheyu didn't want him to send out an arrow, so he attacked him at close range, and slashed at his longbow, but it was bounced back with a bang, and it turned out that the bow was unusually strong.

Her arm was sore, and the bow chief took the opportunity to take a few steps back, and pulled the bow away, the arrow already aimed at her. But unexpectedly, he suddenly felt someone behind him, and a strong force actually pulled his longbow a few more points, he was horrified, his palms were in severe pain, and the bowstring was broken.

Su Zheyu had already struck with a knife in the wall compartment, Zhang Gongchang couldn't avoid it for a while, and suddenly the knife stopped, and he saw that the hand of the person behind him had already held the wrist of "Su Fufeng". Oriyu, you wait first. The voice was low, but majestic.

Su Zhiyu's hand finally fell. Who could command her like this but her master?

No one had ever broken his bowstring so easily—Bow Chang was so shocked that he lost his original spirit, and stopped talking.

But...... According to his suitable words, Fufeng should have been taken to Suzaku Villa! You...... Tell me quickly—where is Vermilion Bird Villa!?" Her red eyes looked at Zhang Gongchang again.

Zhang Gongchang only waited for the person behind him to come to him before he came to his senses. I saw that he was burly, his eyes were bright, and his eyebrows were both heroic and angry, and it was difficult to judge what kind of person he was. He only felt that a huge sense of oppression made him breathless, and he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it, and after a long time, he barely snorted, and said, I don't know where the two are sacred?

That's not all. Tuoba was half-leaning on the edge of the table. I know you didn't succeed this time, did you?

Could it be ...... Did Zhuang Jie tell you to do this? Zhang Gongchang seemed to have an understanding, but then said, no, no, no, how can he make a person like you alone...... Black, I don't know, it turns out that Zhuang Jie also has a backer.

Your backers are not small. Tuoba sneered. Or it's better to say - what is the merger of black bamboo and Huainan - Tiandu was originally planned and supported by Suzaku Villa, right?

If you want to kill, you will kill, why bother with verbose! Zhang Gongchang was awe-inspiring.

It doesn't have to be - I just want someone to tell me Su Fufeng's whereabouts - it would be best if you could tell me where Suzaku Villa is.

Who do you think of Zhang? Zhang Gongchang said arrogantly.

You...... Su Zhiyu was anxious, although Tuoba Gu stretched out his hand to block her, but he was actually annoyed, stretched out his fingers to the three acupoints in his chest and abdomen, Zhang Gongchang suddenly felt a sour feeling spread into his limbs, and his whole body was full of numbness and itching, and he couldn't help moaning and fell to the ground.

I'm waiting for you to beg me for mercy. Tuoba Gu snorted softly and motioned for Su Zhiyu to bring him back.

Zhang Gongchang only felt extremely uncomfortable, tears were about to flow out, gritted his teeth and endured, and when he woke up, he was already in a dark dungeon. Why did these two people only ask about Su Fufeng's whereabouts? He couldn't understand it. But if this was the case, one of them would not pretend to be Su Fufeng, trying to induce him to accidentally leak the news about Su Fufeng—they seemed to have no idea that Su Fufeng had been taken to Suzaku Villa.

As soon as the iron door slammed, Zhang Gongchang was shocked, and when he looked up, he saw that the barely visible light in the distance had also swayed a few times: a figure had approached.

He tried to stand up, but his body did not obey the call, and he lay limply on the ground.

He roughly discerned the silhouette of the man. You...... He gritted his teeth. Don't think that's what I'm going to say......

Of course you won't. Tuoba Gu's voice reverberated in a deep and deep way through the small space. So I also know one more thing.

What's the matter? Zhang Gongchang asked without holding his breath.

You must not be a small foot in Suzaku Villa. Tuoba lonely road. People like you who would rather endure the pain of insects than confide a word should not be just Yu Rui's lackey.

Zhang Gongchang sneered. If you want to compliment me, forget it!

Compliments on you?, Tuoba Gu also sneered. Why should I compliment a prisoner of the ranks? Speak clearly with you: I want you to make a bet with me, and if you win, I'll set you free, or else, you just tell me what I want to know—how?

Why should I bet with you?

You don't have a choice.

Why don't I have a choice? At most, kill me, what can you do with me?

Why don't you listen to my gambling method first?

I'm not interested......

You've always been confident in your bow and arrow skills, so we'll bet on your bow and arrow. (To be continued.) )
