Everyone speculated about where Yang Zhan was now, but everyone had no clue, so they all looked at Zhao Chengzong. www.biquge.info Where would Zhao Chengzong tell them where Yang Zhan had gone, so he pretended to think deeply for a while, and then said: "After we found out that the Zen Master was killed, we chased them to the south and west respectively, but we found nothing. However, the beggar gang leader Guo has already notified his disciples to collect Yang Zhan's movements extensively, as long as he shows up, he will definitely be discovered. Sima Meng and the others have been on their way for many days, so let's wait for them to come back and see what he has discovered on this trip. ”

Everyone had no better way to do it, so they had to act according to Zhao Chengzong's words. It's just that this time there are more people than last time, and Yinglong Villa naturally can't settle all of them, so Zhao Chengzong will spend all his money to charter the major inns in Lin'an City for all kinds of knights to stay overnight.

"The heroes came from afar, Zhao has lived in Lin'an for a long time, and since he was a little bit of the friendship of the landlord, he rented more than ten inns in the city, and during this time of waiting for the return of the Sima League, everyone can stay with peace of mind. Zhao Chengzong said generously.

Since Yinglong Villa was rewarded by Gaozong, it can be said that it is a big family, but it doesn't care about this. But in the eyes of others, to come up with such a large amount of money, it is not possible for extremely generous and bold people to do it, so everyone is grateful to Zhao Chengzong, and sighs that he has the style of Meng taste.

Of course, Zhao Chengzong did this with his considerations, because he didn't want so many people to take the horse farm of Yinglong Villa, after all, this place was not too far from the back mountain, in case someone accidentally broke into it and saw Ye Jingfeng, wouldn't it be a bad thing? Of course, Zhao Chengzong's move can also capture the hearts of many first-time sects, and it is worth the money.

Sima Chongcheng north to Wutai Mountain is a long way, and the checkpoints are heavy, since it is not possible to do things overnight, so the knights from all walks of life gathered in Lin'an simply relax and visit, but enjoy this free trip to Beijing. And Zhao Chengzong visited these leaders one by one during the day, and went to the back mountain to discuss follow-up matters with Ye Jingfeng at night, so that three or five days later, Zhao Chengzong not only chatted with the people of various factions, but also secretly discussed the next step with Ye Jingfeng.

"Since Master Zhao knows Yang Zhan's whereabouts, why don't you let everyone go and kill him together. Ye asked puzzled.

Zhao Chengzong shook his head and said, "Don't worry, Yang Zhan is alone now, and he is a public enemy of martial arts, but it is not difficult for him to kill him." ”

Ye Jingfeng didn't quite understand, but said anxiously: "This person's martial arts are too strong, if you don't get rid of it as soon as possible, I am afraid that there will be troubles in the future." ”

"Of course, Yang Zhan can't stay, but he can't die too early. Zhao Chengzong said silently.

"Why?" Ye asked in confusion.

Of course, Ye Jingfeng hoped that Yang Zhan would die early, firstly, to relieve the hatred of the defeat of the martial arts conference that day, and secondly, to fulfill his reputation as the best in the world in swordsmanship. But Zhao Chengzong had his own careful plan, so he said: "Yang Zhan's current whereabouts have to be kept secret for the time being, because I want Sima Chongcheng to run around for a while, let him suffer some hardships and make some mistakes, so that your position as the deputy leader of the alliance can be guaranteed." ”

Ye Jingfeng faintly understood what Zhao Chengzong meant, so he asked tentatively: "Does Master Zhao want to use the process of tracking down Yang Zhan to get rid of that old way?"

Zhao Chengzong nodded, and then said carefully: "At the beginning, I saw that everyone was dissatisfied with me, so I retweeted Sima Chongcheng to the top position, just to see what kind of problems he would encounter when his prestige was mediocre. ”

But the crowd did not seem to dispute him. Ye Jingfeng said curiously.

"Where the water surface is calm, there is always an undercurrent, and those small sects are naturally blown on both sides, but the larger sects are inevitably unconvinced, such as Guo Yuangang of the beggar gang, but there is a chance that it is difficult to guarantee that it will not fall into the well. Zhao Chengzong said.

It's just that Zhao Chengzong said this, but Ye Jingfeng thought that since Sima Chongcheng would face these problems, wouldn't Zhao Chengzong also have to encounter this matter if he replaced him? It's just that many of Zhao Chengzong's actions Ye Jingfeng may not be clear, let alone the many chess games he has laid out in the rivers and lakes.

"Now that the entire martial arts sect is gathered in Lin'an, I want to take this opportunity to discern the hearts of people from all walks of life, and those who follow me will prosper and those who oppose me will die. Since everyone saw that those with outstanding sword skills were pointing directly at Yang Zhan, then you might as well continue to play such a role and get rid of those who are not in my heart one by one. Zhao Chengzong said.

This approach can not only help Zhao Chengzong completely get rid of dissidents, but also put Yang Zhan in prison, but it also makes Ye Jingfeng gladly accept it.

Zhao Chengzong thought about it carefully, and then said, "Before Sima Chongcheng returns, let's not touch these sect members. ”

Ye Jingfeng said with some disappointment: "That old way to go to Wutai Mountain for at least ten days and half a month, in case there is any delay, I am afraid that it will take a month, do we just keep waiting?"

Zhao Chengzong smiled, but after looking at Ye Jingfeng carefully, he said, "Is your injury okay?"

"I just hate that old man for being too heavy, but he won't die. Ye Jingfeng said angrily.

"That's fine, then you go to Luling to kill someone, remember to wait until Yang Zhan leaves. Zhao Chengzong said solemnly.

"I don't know who Zhao Zhuang wants me to take?" Ye Jingfeng asked.

Zhao Chengzong immediately handed a note to Ye Jingfeng, which recorded in detail the person's address and birth. Ye Jingfeng saw that he threw the note into the stove, and then set off in disguise.

Zhao Chengzong saw Ye Jingfeng acting like this, but he was also much more relieved, after all, this matter must not be known to a third person.

However, it was said that after Yang Zhan and Hua Linglong crossed Qiandao Lake by boat, they really came to the mouth of the Qingxi River, and the two thanked the boatman and rode along the river. It's just that the waters of Qiandao Lake are wide, and it took most of the day for the boatmen to send them from this end to the opposite end, and the road on the Qingxi River is difficult to walk, but they can't go far before it's dusk again.

The two finally found a family, so they simply went to spend the night first, and then went to Huangshan tomorrow morning. The farmers here rarely see outsiders, but they are also warmly welcomed, Yang Zhan saw that the head of the household was simple and inquired about the direction of Huangshan.

"There are still more than 100 miles to go to Huangshan, the mountain road is rugged on the way, and there are bandits to make trouble, so the guest officer can be more careful all the way. The farmer said.

Yang Zhan only nodded, and went back to the house. In fact, Yang Zhan is not afraid of the difficult and dangerous road, what he is most worried about is whether Tao Yong is still in Huangshan, after all, more than 20 years have passed, and the people who participated in the plan back then are far away. If Tao Yong can't be found, then the rest of the people can't be found again.

Such a question continued to plague Yang Zhan, and when he rushed to the foot of Huangshan the next day, he was still faintly worried. In this way, where do you have the heart to pay attention to the beauty of the surrounding fairyland.

Hua Linglong saw that Yang Zhan was preoccupied, and only said that he was revengeful, so she didn't say much, and only rode a horse and slowly followed.

The mountain road became smaller and smaller, and the vines and strange stones were also chaotic, so the two had to dismount and move forward. But after dismounting and walking a short distance, he saw three or five big men standing at the intersection in front of him, but they all glared angrily with big knives in their hands. Needless to say, Yang Zhan has encountered a bandit.

Yang Zhan immediately stopped, and waited for Hua Linglong to approach him before continuing to walk, but it seemed that these big men did not exist at all. The three or five great men saw Yang Zhan come forward, and saw the flowers beside him exquisitely beautiful, but their eyes turned green.

"Haha, I didn't expect that there would be a beautiful lady in this barren mountain and wilderness, we are really blessed. One of the men laughed impatiently.

"Yes, this woman was pulled back to be the lady of the village, and the man was a slave and a servant, and the gold, silver, and horses were confiscated one by one. Another big man said loudly.

It's just that when they were still discussing, Yang Zhan had already walked in front of them with Hua Linglong, but he was not afraid.

Seeing that Yang Zhan didn't exist at all, several big men said angrily: "What about robbery, why don't you kneel down and beg for mercy?"

Yang Zhan smiled faintly and said, "Why should I kneel on the ground and beg for mercy?"

"Why? haha, because I'm not happy if I don't kneel and beg for mercy, grandpa, he's not happy, you don't even have the qualifications to be a slave and a servant. Another big man said fiercely.

But at this time, many people came out on both sides of the mountain road, and in an instant, Yang Zhan and Hua Linglong were surrounded together, and at a glance, there were dozens of people. These people had never seen such a beautiful woman as Hua Linglong, but they all looked at her from head to toe.

Yang Zhan only turned to Hua Linglong and said, "Sister Hua, don't be afraid. ”

Before Yang Zhan's words fell, the ghost-eyed mad knife was already in his hand, and the surrounding bandits looked intently, but saw that there were faint drops of blood falling from the blade. Before everyone came back to their senses, the three big men who were blocking the front had already cried bitterly.

The bandits turned around to look, but they saw that the three of them had cut off one of their arms, and now they were falling to the ground and curling up one by one.

When the bandits saw that their accomplices were injured by Yang Zhan, they swarmed up with knives and guns, and for a while, countless sharp edges stabbed straight towards Yang Zhan and Hua Linglong.

Yang Zhan grabbed Hua Linglong with one hand, but the knife spun in the air. Hua Linglong was stunned for a while, and then she buried her head in Yang Zhan's arm shyly, and her heart was already intoxicated. It was only such a comfortable moment that lasted for a moment, and I saw Yang Zhan slashing out two horizontal and vertical knives in the air, and when they landed, those bandits broke off with knives and guns, and blood spattered on the spot.

These bandits are the one who is in trouble, but they have never seen such a scene, of course, the eyes of the people who are killed are closed, and the legs of those who are alive tremble, and they can't even escape.

Yang Zhansong blossomed exquisitely, so he picked up his knife and walked towards a few thieves in the back row. The thieves knew that they were not Yang Zhan's opponents, but now when they saw him approaching step by step, they all stiffened. Finally, the first thief knelt down and begged for mercy, and then the second, third, and even all the remaining thieves fell to the ground in obedience, begging Yang Zhan to let them live.

In fact, Yang Zhan didn't want to kill them all in the past, he just wanted to ask about the residence of Tao Yong, who was at ease in Huangshan. It's just that seeing that the thieves are so afraid of themselves, Yang Zhan simply pretended to be fierce and vicious and said: "You people are doing evil, you are simply innocent, you can't be spared, you can't be spared." ”

"Ask the hero to raise his noble hand and let me wait for a horse, I will not hesitate to be a cow and a horse. The bandits pleaded.

"I've got horses, what's the use of some cattle? Yang Zhan said loudly.

The bandits then began to cry, but they all thought that their end was near. Yang Zhan saw that they had already collapsed and lost their minds, so he said solemnly: "Take me to your cottage, and I won't kill you first." ”

Where the bandits are willing to give up this chance to survive, they all compete to lead the way. Hua Linglong had never seen Yang Zhan so angry, and she was shocked in her heart, and now she saw that he was going to the thief's den, but she couldn't understand what he wanted. However, Hua Linglong believed that Yang Zhan had his own reasons for doing this, so she generously followed.

Yang Zhan came to the cottage, and sure enough, he saw that there were still a few left-behind bandits, and they were immediately on guard when they saw outsiders coming, but they wanted to fight with Yang Zhan again. But the bandits immediately stopped them and ordered them to kneel down one by one.

Perhaps because of their seniority and prestige, these remaining bandits all did as they were told, but Yang Zhan didn't bother to make any more moves.

"Are there any robbers in the cottage?" asked Yang Zhan.

The thieves were silent, and Yang Zhan immediately raised his sword, and someone was in a hurry to report truthfully. Yang Zhan put away the ghost-eyed mad knife and motioned for him to release all the robbers, and then more than a dozen men and women appeared in front of everyone, and if they looked closely, they were all scarred and haggard. Needless to say, they were naturally abused and bullied by bandits.

Yang Zhan and Hua Linglong both felt uncomfortable, so they interrogated these people one by one about their origins, but the more they listened, the more angry they became.

"These people have done absolutely bad things, and today I will uphold justice for you, and how they bully you on weekdays, you will replace them now. It is up to you to kill or chop up. Yang Zhan said solemnly.

But these people have lingering fears about the bandits, but where do they dare to do it? What's more, everything they want to do most is to go home, and Yang Zhan can't force people to do it, so he can only glare at the bandits angrily.

"You have committed a lot of crimes, you really deserve a thousand cuts, they can not be investigated, but I, Yang Zhan, can't stand it. Yang Zhan said angrily.

The thieves knelt on the ground and begged for forgiveness, and swore again and again that they would never do these hurtful things again.

"What is the use of you kneeling down to me? Yang Zhan scolded.

The bandits then turned around and kowtowed violently to the released men and women, but they screamed in fright. Seeing this, Yang Zhan had to shake his head helplessly, then sighed, and then said sharply: "There is a person named Tao Yong in Huangshan, whose name is Huangshan Zizaike, you are entrenched here, you should have heard of it, right?"

The thieves paused, and then someone nodded and said, "There is indeed this person, there is indeed this person." ”

"Then where is he now?" Yang Zhan asked again.

The thieves couldn't answer, because this Tao Yong's residence is impermanent, and he always lives in Yuping Peak, Tiandu Peak, Lotus Peak and other places, and Tao Yong is easy to look at, sometimes pretending to be an old man in the mountains, and sometimes turning into a rural villager, which is really unpredictable. However, Yang Zhan roughly knew where to go, so he ordered the remnants of the thieves to take out all the treasures in the cottage.
