Linglong walked out of the cave and saw Xiao Suifeng sitting on a big rock outside the cave without saying a word, as if he was thinking about something. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

After thinking about it, Linglong hesitated slightly, but finally walked over, sat down next to Xiao Suifeng, and said, "Brother Xiao, what do you want?"

Xiao Suifeng came back to his senses, glanced at Na Linglong, and said calmly, "Thinking about how to get out of here." ”

Linglong whispered softly, but she was silent, and then spoke again in a half-loud voice, "Did Brother Xiao get useful information from the black fox?"

Xiao was shocked by the wind, and then nodded silently.

Compared with Xiao Suifeng, who had no clue, the information provided by the black fox was naturally useful, even if the information provided by the black fox was not clear, but in any case, it also pointed out the direction of Xiao Suifeng's investigation.

The Nandou Temple is a relatively clear message, a sect, whether it is now in decline or just hidden, will always leave some clues in this world.

Compared with the Nandou Temple, after Shen Lun became a horse thief, the forces that had been supporting him behind him were more mysterious and more difficult to trace.

Xiao Suifeng said these two points, Linglong couldn't help nodding slightly, and after half a sound, he said, "Brother Xiao doesn't have to worry, I have some records about the hidden things in the rivers and lakes in the Valley of Hundred Flowers, and when I return to the Valley of Hundred Flowers, I can check it for Brother Xiao." The Nandou Temple, as long as it is in the rivers and lakes, it is impossible to leave no traces. ”

After a pause, Linglong said again, "As for the forces behind Shen Lun, it is true that there is no information available from the black fox alone, but in my opinion, it may not be that there is no trace to follow. ”

Xiao Suifeng couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and looked at that Linglong, "What do you say?"

Linglong said, "According to what the black fox said before, that Shen Lun was originally a person from the Nandou Temple, but because some black foxes didn't know it, he betrayed the Nandou Temple. And after Shen Lun left the Nandou Temple, he came to Wangshan Yuan to become a horse thief, but the people behind him followed closely behind him to give Shen Lun great support, which may explain a problem. ”

Xiao Suifeng frowned slightly, did not speak, although it was not very clear in his mind, but he also had a faint guess.

And Linglong directly said this speculation, "Shen Lun's betrayal of the Nandou Temple and the support of the forces behind the scenes after becoming a horse thief are not too long ago, so if you look at the timing of the incident, the reason why Shen Lun defected from the Nandou Temple may be related to the forces behind Shen Lun who secretly support him." ”

Linglong said truthfully, and Xiao Suifeng also nodded silently.

It's a possibility.

In the rivers and lakes, whether good or evil, traitors are generally not easily accepted. The reason is very simple, since a person is able to betray his original sect forces, then who can guarantee that there will be a second betrayal in the future?

Therefore, in the rivers and lakes, there are some special reasons, otherwise the situation of the martial artist who betrayed the sect is much more difficult than the situation of the person who has no sect and no sect from the beginning.

Shen Lun is also a traitor, but according to the Black Fox, after Shen Lun came to Wangshan Plain, he received the support of the hidden forces, and his strength grew rapidly in a short period of time, which is suspicious.

Who wants to support someone who betrays the sect?

Therefore, if you want to get a reasonable explanation, you can only follow Linglong's train of thought, that is, the reason why Shen Lun betrayed the Nandou Temple is probably because of the interference of the forces behind Shen Lun.

And from this point of view, as long as Xiao Suifeng finds the Nandou Temple, finds out the details of Shen Lun's sentence to the Nandou Temple, and finds out the reason, maybe he can find out the forces behind Shen Lun.

Xiao Suifeng obviously recognized Linglong's idea in his heart, and nodded silently, but heard Linglong smell again, "Brother Xiao, where are you going to start checking the Nandou Temple?"

Xiao Suifeng was stunned again when he heard this.

Compared with the forces behind Shen Lun, this Nandou Temple is indeed easier to trace, but it is not a simple matter to really investigate, Xiao Suifeng can't always meet someone on the street and ask people, do you know the Nandou Temple.

The first thing in Xiao Suifeng's mind was to think of Tai Qian, with the power of Tai Qian and the Aoki Villa behind him, it should be easy to investigate the Nandou Temple, but at the moment, Xiao Suifeng is obviously unable to go to the Aoki Villa to throw himself into the net.

And in addition to Aoki Villa, the only way to come back is to return to the sect.

So I heard Xiao Suifeng say, "Let's go back first." ”

Linglong couldn't help but nod when she heard this, "The Cloud Piercing Sword Sect is also one of the best sects in the world, and it must have its own set of intelligence systems, if Brother Xiao uses the power of the sect to find it, he may really gain something." ”

Xiao Suifeng chuckled, but was noncommittal.

Linglong's words are good, such a big force as the Cloud Piercing Sword Sect naturally has its own place to collect information on the rivers and lakes, but with Xiao Suifeng's identity, it is a matter of whether he can get it. Therefore, when Xiao Suifeng said that when he went back, the first thing he thought of was not the Cloud Piercing Sword Sect, but that he wanted to go back to Luo Qingfeng and ask Zuo Song.

Although Zuo Song has been in hiding for a long time, after all, he has been wandering in the rivers and lakes for decades, and if the Nandou Temple was a sect force decades ago, Zuo Song might have heard of it.

Xiao Suifeng was silent, but Na Linglong continued to remind Xiao Suifeng, "The major sects generally have their own intelligence sources, but the information of the sects is unlikely to cover everything, and it is generally the aspects that each sect focuses on. However, there are also some special intelligence organizations in the rivers and lakes, which regard collecting and buying intelligence as a business, but it can cover almost everything, in my opinion, Brother Xiao can ask them, maybe there will be additional gains. ”

After a pause, Linglong couldn't help laughing, "Of course, these intelligence organizations use intelligence as a commodity and goods, regardless of good and evil, and are mercenary, so if you want to get intelligence from them, you naturally need to have corresponding contributions." ”

Xiao Suifeng nodded secretly, Xiao Suifeng naturally heard of these hidden things in the rivers and lakes.

Even, when investigating the Xiao family's tragedy that year, Xiao Suifeng was under the guidance of Zuo Song and dealt with an organization called Baiwentang, but he didn't gain anything.

The rivers and lakes are unfathomable, and naturally there are not only the sects of the righteous path and the demon path on the surface, but also many organizations that are hidden in the dark, unable to see the light, or unwilling to see the light.

Some of them specialize in intelligence, some specialize in killing people, and some specialize in matchmaking and mediation.

The Baiwentang contacted by Xiao Suifeng can be regarded as one of the forces with a good reputation, which is openly covered by the medical hall, but secretly it is the purchase and sale of the author's intelligence information.

Organizations like Baiwentang, although they are indeed mercenary, do not ask whether they are right or wrong, but ordinary people, whether they are Jianghu people or ordinary people, it is difficult to reach them.

It's like the Baiwen Hall, if you come to the door without anyone to introduce you, what you see is just a medical hall, and there are only some doctors inside.

Xiao Suifeng was also with the help of Zuo Song at the beginning, and he got on the line with the Baiwentang, but although these intelligence organizations claimed that they could know everything that happened in the rivers and lakes, how could they really understand everything that happened in the rivers and lakes?

The tragedy of the Xiao family back then left extremely limited information, and it did not give Xiao Suifeng any help.

It is also because of this experience that Xiao Suifeng does not trust intelligence organizations like Baiwentang too much, and even after that, he did not find a way to find other organizations to ask.

However, it is indeed a little difficult to directly find the clues of the Xiao family back then, but if you borrow an organization such as Baiwen Hall to investigate the Nandou Temple, it is very likely.

Xiao Suifeng thought in his heart, and couldn't help nodding silently.

Seeing this, Linglong couldn't help but chuckle, "It seems that Brother Xiao himself should have some ways, but Linglong has something to do here, and maybe he can also give Brother Xiao some help." ”

As he spoke, Linglong took out a small jade pendant from her body, handed it to Xiao Suifeng, and said with a smile, "Generally, there will be a place called Baoqing Pavilion in a larger city that specializes in selling all kinds of antique treasures. But in fact, buying and selling treasures and antiques is only one of the business of Baoqing Pavilion, and the other is to buy and sell all kinds of information, Brother Xiao takes this little jade pendant to go, so that he can get special entertainment, otherwise, they don't recognize it. ”

The jade pendant is no more than the size of a thumb, it is a small coin, and on both sides of the square hole with threads on it, is the word Baoqing. This jade pendant was obviously carried by Linglong, and it was handed over to Xiao Suifeng's hands at the moment, with a shallow warmth.

Xiao Suifeng is not a hypocritical person, for him at the moment, Linglong's kindness can indeed help him, and Xiao Suifeng will not shirk it.

Silently pinching the jade pendant in his hand, Xiao Suifeng was silent for a moment, then couldn't help but raise his head to look at Linglong, and said again, "Linglong, thank you." ”

Linglong smiled shallowly and said, "That's it, Brother Xiao, you don't know how many times you've said thank you to me." Speaking of which, after leaving this Wangshan Yuan, Linglong is going to return to the sect, and it is estimated that there is no way to help Brother Xiao, this jade pendant can be regarded as Linglong borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, leaving a thought for Brother Xiao. ”

Because of Linglong's own duties, it is indispensable to deal with these forces that specialize in selling intelligence on weekdays, and this little jade pendant is also a gift from Baoqing Pavilion to Linglong.

Seeing that Xiao Suifeng nodded silently, Xiao Suifeng couldn't help but look back at the cave, but asked again, "Brother Xiao has got the news he wants, so what should the black fox do?"

Xiao Suifeng came back to his senses, and couldn't help but look at the cave, and couldn't help but be silent.

How to deal with the black fox is indeed a troublesome matter.

It stands to reason that the black fox has been a horse thief for decades, and he doesn't know how much blood and sin he has on his hands, so even if Xiao Suifeng really kills the black fox, Xiao Suifeng will not have the slightest concern in his heart. After all, the sin in the black fox is not an exaggeration to die ten times.

Moreover, as far as Xiao Suifeng himself is concerned, there is also a great hatred between him and the black fox.

Although Xiao Suifeng didn't know that the black fox had leaked Xiao Suifeng's identity and calculated himself, just by virtue of the fact that the black fox ordered his own horse thieves to besiege and kill Xiao Suifeng in Zhidong Village, it was enough for Xiao Suifeng to kill the black fox.

It's just that Black Fox's previous actions have had some effect after all.

If the black fox blindly resisted Xiao Suifeng and refused to tell Xiao Suifeng Shen Lun's news, Xiao Suifeng might have killed the black fox, but the black fox chose to take the initiative to tell Xiao Suifeng everything he knew as soon as he found out that the situation was wrong.

Really calculated, although the black fox intends to plot himself, and it is indeed a heavy blow to himself, but it is undeniable that this black fox has also helped himself, if he just got the news from the black fox, and he will ask for the life of the black fox in turn, it is always difficult to say.

Thinking of this, Xiao Suifeng couldn't help frowning slightly and became silent.

Linglong also understands Xiao Suifeng's entanglement, and in Linglong's opinion, the black fox is also a person who deserves death, but Xiao Suifeng's hesitant actions still make Linglong's heart slightly happy. The reason why Xiao Suifeng is so entangled, in the final analysis, is because Xiao Suifeng has his own bottom line of ethics, and he is not a person who kills indiscriminately, which is naturally a good side of Xiao Suifeng for Linglong, who still has a little nostalgia for Xiao Suifeng and the Cold Moon Sect in his heart.

I thought to myself, but the trouble still needs to be solved after all.

After thinking about it for a while, Linglong couldn't help but think of a way for Xiao Suifeng, "Otherwise, how about taking the black fox out and handing it over to the imperial court's border army?"

Give it to the border army?

Xiao Suifeng was stunned for a moment, thought about it for a while, and suddenly frowned slightly.

This is indeed a good way, so that it is easy to indulge the black fox as a horse thief, which is obviously not very good, but if you kill the black fox here, it is not appropriate, and hand over the black fox to the border army of the imperial court, and let the imperial court come to the imperial court to deal with it, as for the hand over to the imperial court, whether the black fox is alive or dead, there is naturally a legal judgment, and it has nothing to do with Xiao Suifeng.

Although Xiao Suifeng and Linglong also understand that handing over the black fox to the imperial court, the possibility of the black fox being executed is also very great, but if that is the case, it is also caused by the evil of the black fox himself, and it has nothing to do with Xiao Suifeng and Linglong.

Thinking like this, Xiao Suifeng couldn't help but nod silently. Seeing this, Linglong couldn't help but chuckle, "It's just that in this way, I'm afraid I'll have to stay in this deep mountain for a few more days, after all, it's not easy to leave this horse thief's lair with a horse thief leader......"
