Chapter 125 Killing two birds with one stone
Sima Chongcheng had no choice, so he had to be dissatisfied and said: "If Yang Zhan is not caught in one day, it will be difficult for the Sword Gate in the world to be stable for a day, you had better send her to Lin'an within seven days, otherwise once the heroes of the world send troops to worship Sword Villa, things will not be so easy to say."

Of course, Yuan Zongliang believed that Sima Chongcheng could do what he said, and of course he understood that he would never be able to get good fruit to eat when he was fighting against the world's martial arts, but he couldn't let Sima Chongcheng arrange the setting like this, so he smiled disapprerovingly: "As the leader of the dignified martial arts alliance, you don't know how much time it takes to treat such a seriously injured person, right? I will at least make sure that she can move freely before taking her to Lin'an, so it will take at least three months." ”
"Three months? no, fifteen days at most. Sima Chongcheng said categorically.
"It must be three months, or she will die. Yuan Zongliang said tightly.
"A month, no more, or you'll wait for the soldiers to come to the city. Sima Chongcheng said excitedly.
"Okay, then I'll escort her to Lin'an City in a month. Yuan Zongliang replied cheerfully.
Sima Chongcheng only felt that he had fallen for Yuan Zong's forgiveness, so he wanted to compress this time again. Yuan Zongliang naturally didn't want things to go some errands, so he hurriedly said: "There are many pilgrims in Cihang Nunnery, if people see a river of blood flowing here, they will definitely go back to report to the official, and it is better for Sima Mengzhu and others to leave quickly." ”
Compared with this, Sima Chongcheng was more worried that Yuan Zongliang would send someone to the government to correct him. In this case, then he and the accompanying people are afraid that they will never be able to return to the Southern Dynasty. At this moment, Sima Chongcheng felt that if Deng Jiuxiao was still good, at least he didn't have to be afraid of those people in the government.
In desperation, Sima Chongcheng had to leave quickly with the original team.
However, Sima Chongcheng had to prevent Yuan Zongliang from inserting a knife in the back, but on the way back, he did not go south directly, but took Kaifeng and then returned to Lin'an by water. Such a toss took more than ten days.
Sima Chongcheng and the others were seriously injured, and going through one more day of travel was one more sin, but for Zhao Chengzong, these days were enough to cultivate a good relationship with those martial arts sects. When Sima Chongcheng arrived in Lin'an City, he found that everyone no longer respected himself as much as before, especially those sects that did not attend the martial arts conference, and they looked at Zhao Chengzong everywhere, but they did not treat themselves at all.
But Sima Chongcheng didn't have time to feel too angry, because this trip to Wutai Mountain not only failed to return, but also ended up with a loss of troops, but he didn't know how to talk about the past.
Zhao Chengzong saw that Liu Zhizhao and Dai Chicheng were both scarred, and saw that Sima Chongcheng's face was pale, but he also roughly expected the result, so he hurriedly sent the doctor to come for treatment.
"Could it be that the leader of the Sima League really met Yang Zhan when he went here?" Zhao Chengzong asked pretending to be anxious.
Everyone was horrified and condemned Cihang'an for colluding with the thief. But Sima Chongcheng was extremely embarrassed, but he didn't know how to talk about it. In fact, how much he hoped to meet Yang Zhan in Cihang Nunnery at this moment, because in this way, there would not be so many embarrassments now.
In fact, Zhao Chengzong could already see from his reaction that they had not encountered Yang Zhan, and the situation was more like Sima Chongcheng had made some mistakes. It's just that now that the heroes are in the group, Zhao Chengzong was deliberately surprised and said: "It seems that Yang Zhan is really hiding in Cihang Nunnery." ”
Sima Chongcheng saw the helplessness on everyone's faces, but he was about to nod and answer, but Guo Yuangang said with a little regret: "We didn't see Yang Zhan in Xitai. ”
As soon as Guo Yuangang's words came out, everyone present was puzzled, and Zhao Chengzong asked even more confusedly: "Since Yang Zhan is not in Cihang Nunnery, will the leader of the Sima League, Master Liu, Dai Xian's nephew and others be seriously injured by this?"
Sima Chongcheng only hated Guo Yuangang for not knowing how to change, but his heart became nervous.
"The injury of the leader of the Sima League was caused by Yuan Zongliang of the Sword Mountain Villa, and as for the other two, it was caused by the fight with the nuns of Cihang'an. Guo Yuangang replied.
After hearing the names of Baijian Villa and Yuan Zongliang, everyone was curious, after all, he was a legendary figure who had never set foot in the rivers and lakes, and they couldn't imagine that he could even defeat the current martial arts alliance leader as soon as he made a move.
But Zhao Chengzong was relieved, through this incident, he was not only able to further plunge Sima Chongcheng into a crisis of confidence, but also uncovered a mystery that had plagued him for a long time. It's just that Zhao Chengzong, after all, is a person who is very deep in the city, and he can send and receive it freely according to the needs of the occasion. Seeing Zhao Chengzong's solemn expression, he looked at Sima Chongcheng and Guo Yuangang and asked, "Yuan Zong, the owner of Baijian Mountain Villa, can actually hurt Sima Meng's master with his martial arts?"
But when Guo Yuangang was about to reply, Sima Chongcheng angrily grabbed the words and said: "That Yuan Zongliang is just deceiving me for not becoming a way to contact the sword qi, so I fell for his tricks, if I fight again, the poor road will not necessarily lose." ”
Sima Chongcheng originally wanted to earn back a little face in front of everyone, but he didn't know that saying this made everyone look forward to the sword qi used by Yuan Zongliang even more. Seeing everyone's gossip and speculation, Zhao Chengzong pushed the boat and said: "It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that Yuan Zongliang of the Sword Villa can use his sword to control qi, and his moves and power are very strong, but I didn't expect it to be true." ”
I saw that Lingxu Zhenren nodded and said: "Yuanzong forgives the wonder of sword qi, it is really incredible, and even the poor Dao Wuwei Sword Formation can't help him." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone present couldn't wait to see the sword spirit of the owner of the Sword Villa with their own eyes, and they were all fascinated by him. Sima Chongcheng thought that Taixuan Sanqing would give him some steps to go down when he came out to talk about it, but he didn't expect everyone to react like this, so he had to be secretly angry in his heart.
A small amount of people must be more angry, especially if there is a scheming person who has to constantly pull the topic from it.
After Zhao Chengzong listened to the words of Lingxu Zhenren, he asked the ins and outs of the whole thing clearly, although Sima Chongcheng deliberately avoided the fact that he killed the nuns of Cihang Nunnery, but Guo Yuangang, who was upright by nature, did not pay so much attention to it, although he also took care of his identity as the leader of the martial arts alliance, but the general twists and turns were not modified. In this way, the people present had their own opinions on Sima Chongcheng's actions.
But Zhao Chengzong didn't want anyone to doubt the relationship between Cihang'an and Yang Zhan, so he immediately said: "Cihang'an's collusion with the thief leader of the Sword Gate was already a serious evil, and now they have finally tasted the result of evil retribution, but it is not a bad thing. ”
Only then did everyone retract their minds and return to the matter of how to pursue Yang Zhan. And this is the only gain that Sima Chongcheng can get from this trip.
"Yuan Zongliang forcibly rescued the head of Cihang Nunnery in order to repay the favor, but he also promised in front of us that day that he would personally escort this person to Lin'an after a month, but he was not afraid that he would not find Yang Zhan at that time. Sima Chongcheng said softly.
Everyone believed that if Jing Si could arrive in Lin'an City to be questioned by everyone, he would definitely be able to find out the evidence of Yang Zhan's previous murder of the Sword Gate, and then the martial arts would definitely have a wonderful duel of happiness and revenge. And those who have a little thought can even lay out a game to capture Yang Zhan alive.
Of course, Zhao Chengzong also hopes to get to know Yang Zhan as soon as possible to put an end to these tragedies that have happened, but he doesn't want Yang Zhan to be arrested too quickly or too directly, because he still has some things to deal with during this period. Zhao Chengzong thought about it carefully, then stepped forward to comfort Sima Chongcheng and the others, and then broke everyone away on the grounds that the injured needed to recuperate.
Sima Chongcheng felt that he had already lost face after returning from this incident, but he couldn't wait for all the people around him to get away, so he pretended to be uncomfortable, and then fell headlong into the case.
Zhao Chengzong thought all the way back to Yinglong Villa, and happened to meet Tan Shen and Liang Bo working outside the courtyard at will.
"The owner is back. Tan Shen and Liang Bo said respectfully.
Zhao Chengzong nodded with a smile, then looked at Tan Shen and asked, "Today, when the leader of the Sima League comes back, why don't the Tan family brothers go with the group to have a look?"
Tan Shen replied casually: "Tan doesn't want to see his stinky face." ”
"Oh, how did the Tan family brothers see that the alliance leader would have a stinky face?" Zhao Chengzong asked with a pretended amusement.
Tan Shen felt a tightness in his heart, so he explained again and again: "After the leader of the Sima League came back, he didn't hear the sound of drums and cheers, presumably this trip was not profitable, with his arrogant heart, but where would he have a good face?"
Zhao Chengzong nodded deeply, and then said: "I didn't expect that the Tan family brothers were as wise as a torch, and it was really wronged for you to let you do some chores in the house." ”
Tan Shen said hurriedly and humbly: "Tan is a rough person, and the owner of the village is really overrated. Tan followed Yinglong Villa this time, because he was grateful that the owner of the village had the style of Meng taste, so I was also satisfied with letting me be a doorman. ”
Zhao Chengzong smiled again and again: "The brothers of the Tan family must not lift Zhao up like this. Now that the entire martial arts is making every effort to track down Yang Zhan's whereabouts, and there are few people with strong martial arts in the villa, it is better for the Tan family brothers to make a contribution on behalf of Yinglong Villa, and work together with the heroes to capture the thief who is the scourge of the sword gate in the world. ”
Tan Shen hesitated for a moment before he said: "Tan follows the owner, so naturally it is up to you to send the owner." But if you want to represent Yinglong Villa, Tan is probably not enough for this important task in terms of martial arts or prestige, and please don't bother me. ”
Zhao Chengzong glanced at Tan Shen carefully, and then said, "The Tan family brothers are too humble. Since you don't want to go, I don't want to be reluctant, it's just that Yinglong Villa is now entertaining the martial arts heroes to deal with Yang Zhan, and I'm afraid that he will come to the door in the future. And I often need to go out, so you can stay in the villa to deal with emergencies. ”
Tan Shen nodded in approval.
Zhao Chengzong patted Tan Shen's shoulder and smiled deeply: "Then I have to ask you a lot." ”
Although Tan Shen felt a little strange in his heart, he still gratefully agreed.
After Zhao Chengzong returned to the room, he lay down on the bed and remembered carefully. Although there are many far-reaching plans in his heart, what he is most interested in at the moment is undoubtedly Yuan Zongliang of the Sword Villa. Not only because of his martial prowess, but also because he seemed to be particularly interested in himself, otherwise, how could he keep an eye on his movements everywhere, and how could he take such a big risk to fall into the trap he had set up, even though this trap was only to embarrass Sima Chongcheng and test people's hearts a little.
Although Zhao Chengzong has not seen Yuan Zongliang, he is very sure of one thing, that is, this Yuan Zongliang must have a great future, if he really works against himself, he is afraid that the threat in the future will be far greater than Sima Chongcheng, Yang Zhan and others.
A person who has a lot of background and is particularly interested in himself will not be a good thing to think about. Moreover, such a person is not aimed at Sima Chongcheng, who is the most famous, nor is he aimed at Yang Zhan, who is in the limelight, but he is aimed at Zhao Chengzong, who is secretly strategizing, which shows how extraordinary this person's vision and power are.
Zhao Chengzong thought about it carefully, and all of Yuan Zong's actions seemed to show that he knew him very well, but he knew very little about him. Zhao Chengzong urgently needs to grasp the background and origin of Yuan Zongliang, but unfortunately, this Baijian Villa has always lived in a simple place, and has never been involved in the affairs of the rivers and lakes.
If you want to inquire about something, especially the things in the rivers and lakes, you will never be disappointed when you read the star building, not to mention that Zhao Chengzong doesn't have to spend money to go, but it is very cost-effective.
In fact, Miao Bisheng is also trying to talk to Zhao Chengzong about something at the moment, although most of the time he has been pretending to be confused, but he knows Zhao Chengzong's plan and moves. And he and Sima Chongcheng and others went to Xitai to hang the moon peak this time, it was a temporary decision, and they marched all the way, but how could the Baijian Villa in the north of Jin know early and arrive in time?
But there are some wonderful words that he doesn't want to say too clearly, or simply wait for Zhao Chengzong to ask, after all, he doesn't want Zhao Chengzong to be so angry as last time.
"The records of Baijian Villa and the records of Yuan Zongliang in the Yuexing Tower are all told to me. Zhao Chengzong said solemnly.
After Miao Bisheng saw Yuan Zongliang defeat Sima Chongcheng and Taixuguan Sanqing successively on the Hanging Moon Peak, he was also amazed by his outstanding martial arts, so he consulted all the classics related to Baijian Villa as soon as he returned. Now Zhao Chengzong also asked about this, but there happened to be a lot less trouble.
However, Baijian Villa acted too low-key after all, and there was no record of participating in any martial arts gathering in the past hundred and ten years, and there were few records of duels with masters of other sects. The only place that can be found is that the time candidate for the new head of Zen was recorded by the nearby villagers, and the second is that the relationship between the two can be found from the classics of the Giant Sword Gate.
The records about Yuan Zongliang are even rarer, and even his age cannot be checked, so he can only be roughly recorded based on what he saw when the head changed. After careful study, there are roughly two gains: the first is that Yuan Zongliang ascended to the position of the head of Baijian Villa 16 years ago, and the second is that Yuan Zongliang was young and handsome at that time, but his martial arts cultivation was far superior to that of people of the same age.
However, a brief record of the succession competition made Zhao Chengzong's eyes shine: his people have repeatedly returned to the sword like the wind, and they are always surprised.
Seeing that Zhao Chengzong had read this passage so carefully, Miao Bisheng also leaned over to look at it, and only then did he wake up and say, "It turns out that he is a disciple of Kunlun." ”
