Chapter 46: The Imperial Capital (2/4)
That night in Linhai City, Xiao Suifeng took advantage of the chaos and left with Yu Wenqian, but he actually did not participate in the bloody killing later, and those mysterious black-clothed people who came from nowhere were also summoned by Yu Wenqian. Even if it is the Yangwu Dart Bureau, among the four masters, only Qi Peng really died in the hands of Xiao Suifeng, and the death of the other three masters, including Yu Shixiao and Zhong Xiong, is not directly related to him.
But the truth of what happened that day, except for Xiao Suifeng, Yu Wenqian and the real people behind it, no one can know the rest. Everyone only knew that Xiao Suifeng entered the Yangwu Dart Bureau, and then the killing began.
Because of this, the matter spread, and the things that had nothing to do with Xiao Suifeng, including the Black Fire Order and the destruction of the Yangwu Dart Bureau, were all imposed on Xiao Suifeng's head, and what the storyteller downstairs said at this moment is exactly such a version.
Yu Wenqian also listened quietly for a while, couldn't help but have a gloomy face, and scolded softly, "These storytellers can still talk nonsense, don't they think about it with their brains!"
Xiao Suifeng was also quite angry when he heard it, but when he saw Yu Wenqian's angry appearance, he himself was relieved, and said softly, "Let them say, you just listen, what's so angry." ”
Yuwen Qian glanced at him, "I didn't see that you are so big-minded!" Xiao Suifeng shook his head, Yu Wenqian looked at him like this, and didn't say more, just listened.
However, some people in the audience downstairs were suspicious, and one of them asked, "Mr. Zhang, what he said is a little wrong, I really don't know how the leaders of the Yangwu Dart Bureau died, but I heard that the chaos in Linhai City was all due to the Yangwu Dart Bureau's bounty to chase Xiao Suifeng, and the Yangwu Dart Bureau was destroyed because those Jianghu people couldn't kill Xiao Suifeng, but they were greedy again, so they turned around and destroyed the Yangwu Dart Bureau." As for the subsequent killing, it was because of the reappearance of the Black Fire Order, according to Mr. Sense, could it be that the Black Fire Order was run by Xiao Suifeng?"
Everyone couldn't help but laugh, if the Xiao family had a black fire order, it would not be so easy to be wiped out back then.
Seeing that everyone was laughing, the storyteller surnamed Zhang was not annoyed, and said with a smile, "What the guest officer said is also reasonable, the affairs of Linhai are complicated, right and wrong are not except for the people involved, others naturally do not know, but there is one point, the killing in Linhai City this time is because Xiao Suifeng rises, and Xiao Suifeng must be inseparable." As for the following, it's just a storyteller, hearsay, just to make everyone happy, but you don't have to believe me. ”
Everyone couldn't help but nod when they heard this, although the killing in Linhai City was tragic, but in the final analysis, it had nothing to do with them, it was just a conversation after dinner, but there was no need to argue with themselves.
However, some people asked, "The matter of Linhai City has countless casualties, and it is also a major event in the rivers and lakes, and the imperial court is shaken, according to Mr., since this matter is inseparable from the Xiao family, why don't you see the movement of Tiantai Mansion?"
This question, others couldn't help but be curious.
Seven or eight days have passed since the incident in Linhai City, and Tiantai Mansion has naturally received the news, but there is no reaction. Although Tiantai Mansion will not easily participate in the disputes between the rivers and lakes, nearly a thousand people from the rivers and lakes in Linhai City were killed overnight, and it stands to reason that they should come forward to deal with it, but Tiantai Mansion did not take any action, and even did not say a word about the whole incident.
Seeing this, the storyteller cleared his throat and attracted everyone's attention, but said with a smile, "Actually, this is also easy to explain, you might as well think about it, where is Yang Zhengshan, the capital of Tiantai Mansion at this moment?"
"Yang Zhengshan led people to Sky Eagle Castle half a month ago, and he should have arrived at this moment. ”
Someone in the crowd replied, and everyone immediately suddenly said, "Sir, are you saying that at this moment, the strength and attention of Tiantai Mansion are on the Leng Yue Sect, so you can't care about the matter of Linhai?"
The storyteller surnamed Zhang stroked his beard and chuckled, "This guest officer is half right, you might as well think about it again, what is Xiao Suifeng's identity?"
"The heir of the Xiao family of Tiaogu!" someone shouted.
The storyteller smiled and shook his head, "What else, where is he now?"
"Naturally, it's the Cloud Piercing Sword Sect!"
"What is the Cloud Piercing Sword Sect doing now?" Mr. Storyteller continued to ask, and everyone was stunned when they heard this, and this can be regarded as a real understanding.
The storyteller said with a smile, "The Cloud Piercing Sword Sect is known as the second in the righteous path, not to mention the strength for the time being, but more importantly, the Cloud Piercing Sword Sect is one of the main forces of this expedition against the Cold Moon Sect. Now that the war is about to start, it is the time for the seventeen forces to cooperate sincerely, not to mention that Xiao Suifeng's sin cannot be determined, even if it is really the black fire order issued by him who destroyed the Yangwu Dart Bureau, Tiantai Mansion and Yangxu Palace are afraid that they will not be held accountable at this moment, otherwise, if the Cloud Piercing Sword Sect has a bad heart and affects the major event of the Cold Moon Sect, it will really be a small loss, and the gains outweigh the losses. ”
Everyone suddenly realized and nodded their heads.
......
This storyteller surnamed Zhang doesn't look like a Jianghu person at all, but he also has some insight into Jianghu affairs, and he can often see a little more thoroughly than ordinary people, but it is not entirely hearsay and open talk, no wonder he can attract so many visitors.
Yu Wenqian and Xiao Suifeng listened quietly on the second floor, in addition to the matter of Linhai City, they also heard some other things, the most important of which was naturally the matter of the seventeen forces of the Heavenly Eagle Castle Righteous Path to conquer the Cold Moon Sect.
At this moment, there are still seven or eight days before the agreed July 7th, but the various forces have basically gathered at Aquila Castle.
Previously, when the Cloud Piercing Sword Sect was discussing, it was determined that the seventeen forces were involved, but in fact, there were sixty or seventy Jianghu sects that went to the Sky Eagle Fort to participate in the Righteous Path Alliance, and the gangs with heads and faces in the righteous path all sent people to participate, truly turning this campaign against the Cold Moon Sect into a big action led by the seventeen forces and with the participation of the entire Jianghu Righteous Path.
At this moment, the Heavenly Eagle Fort has gathered nearly 10,000 righteous paths in the rivers and lakes, many like Yangxu Palace have sent nearly a thousand disciples, the Cloud Piercing Sword Sect has also sent hundreds of people, and some small sects have also sent at least a dozen people to help in the battle.
In addition, under the coordination of the Tiantai Prefecture, the Dakang Imperial Court also mobilized tens of thousands of troops to march to the southwest, preparing to sweep away many secessionist forces that were not controlled by the imperial court, including Fushan City, and most of these forces also had a close relationship with the Cold Moon Sect.
In the past few decades, the righteous path of the rivers and lakes has conquered the Leng Yue Sect several times, and the Dakang Imperial Court has also repeatedly sent troops to the southwest, but it is far from the scale of this time.
As long as anyone with a discerning eye can see that this time the righteous path factions are determined to completely exterminate the Cold Moon Sect, and the imperial court is also ruthless to recover this chaotic and uncontrolled territory in the southwest. If there is no accident, its victory or defeat is not only related to the trend of the Great Wilderness in the next few decades, but even the national fortunes of the Great Kang Dynasty may also be changed because of this.
The Cloud Piercing Sword Sect, which initiated this expedition, probably didn't expect that things would evolve into such a situation.
The imminent imminent start of such a far-reaching and high-impact action naturally drew the attention of the whole world. Although the matter in Linhai City is serious, it is really nothing compared to this matter.
However, for Xiao Suifeng, the things in Linhai had already happened, and the Sky Eagle Castle was too far away, and at this moment, he was only concerned about the things that might affect him in the imperial capital.
But there has been nothing special happening in the imperial capital recently, the only thing that can be regarded as a big deal is that the general Beigong Li was killed for rebellion two months ago, some people say that Beigong Li was framed by Ouyang Pu, the minister of power, and died unjustly, at that time, it was full of turmoil in the city, but this is at most a power struggle in the court, not a matter of rivers and lakes, the storyteller only passed by, and Xiao Suifeng would not care.
