Chapter 30: Identifying the Enemy

"It can not only mobilize underworld giants like the Nine Ghosts in Sichuan, but also oppose famous families like the Holy Sword Villa. There are not many sects with this strength in the rivers and lakes. Song Shoucheng obviously seemed to think of something, but then he changed his words again: "But I do remember something." Thirty years ago, there was a famous Divine Sword Gate on the rivers and lakes. The master of the door, the jade-faced sword, Bai Wenxiu, is handsome and elegant, and has excellent swordsmanship. It's just that this person has a dissolute nature and shows mercy everywhere, and as a result, he provoked the famous cult Blue Yimen in the Yungui area. Blue Lianlian, the saint of the Blue Cloth Gate, fell in love with Bai Wenxiu at first sight, but unexpectedly, she was ruthlessly abandoned by Bai Wenxiu afterwards. Lan Lianlian was angry and broke into the chief rudder of the Divine Sword Gate alone. After the two of them warmed up again, Lan Lianlian took advantage of her unpreparedness and ruined Bai Wenxiu's appearance with bone-eroding water!"

Hearing this, Chai Shaoning remembered the white and terrifying face of Xiao Yunfei, the silver dart iron swallow, and couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice.

Shangguan Rou next to him thought that Chai Shaoning had still not been able to get out of his senses from last night's thrill, and quietly reached out to hold his senior brother's palm.

Feeling the care from Shangguan Rou, Chai Shaoning gently shook it back and smiled at his junior sister.

Fang Xiaoyun saw it clearly on the side, and secretly said that if Song Yuanlan was here, I was afraid that she would overturn the vinegar jar again, but fortunately, the girl was worried about Chai Shaoning's safety, she cried all night, and she was already exhausted.

How did Zhao Yinian know about the emotional entanglement between these little children? He interrupted Song Shoucheng's words with a loud voice and said: "Old man Song, when I think of which thief's early enemy, how do you know that it is a barbaric little faction that can't be beaten with eight poles, this is also too far. ”

Song Shoucheng smiled and said: "The reason why I think of Bai Wenxiu is because he had two right-hand men back then, and they were later called the silver hooks and iron rods of heaven and earth bifocal. ”

"What heaven and earth bifocal?" Zhao Yinian didn't react for a while.

Song Shoucheng said: "Back then, Bai Wenxiu had a pair of brothers, the elder brother Jiao Lei with a silver hook and the younger brother Jiao Hu with an iron rod. In order to seek justice for Bai Wenxiu, the two brothers led people to chase Lan Lianlian from Hunan to Guizhou, vowing to kill Lan Lianlian to take revenge, but unexpectedly, the people in the blue clothes got the news and sent people to set up an ambush halfway. The men and horses led by Jiao Lei and Jiao Hu were burned and killed by the vicious firearms of the Blue Yimen, and the two brothers never showed up on the rivers and lakes again. People say that their brothers have been burned to death, jokingly calling them heaven and earth bifocal. ”

"Could it be—" Chai Shaoning suddenly came to his senses: "The two disabled weirdos who lured Brother Geng and Sister Fang into the trap that day are the Heaven and Earth Bifocal who survived the sect's half-war back then?"

Everyone was also moved, but thinking that the two of them were burned into dry sticks, and it was really not easy for them to survive, and their hands and feet were afraid that they would also be cut off in that battle.

Song Shoucheng didn't answer, but continued: "After that battle, Lan Lianlian still refused to let Bai Wenxiu go, and sent people to attack the Divine Sword Gate at night, killing Bai Wenxiu's wife, young daughter and all the disciples. This tragedy finally alarmed Gu Qiuyin, the old owner of Fengwu Villa, and sent someone to intervene, and the blue clothes door withdrew from the Hunan realm. ”

Everyone couldn't help but shake their heads, sighing for the tragic vendetta in the rivers and lakes, but they heard Song Shoucheng say again: "Everyone thought that the matter was over, who knew that three years later, the main altar of the Blue Clothes Gate was raided, and the upper and lower people were killed and burned to the corpses, which was exactly the same as the bloody case of the Shenjian Gate back then." It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that Bai Wenxiu's ghost came back to collect debts. Since then, the branches of the Blue Clothes Gate have gradually declined due to no one leading them, and a great martial arts faction has finally collapsed into invisibility. ”

Everyone seemed to understand the meaning of Song Shoucheng's words, and they all fell silent for a while.

After a long time, Chai Shaoning opened his mouth and asked, "What does the predecessor mean, is it possible that Fengwu Villa is the backer behind Murong Nianhua?"

In fact, Murong Nianhua hid in Sun Ji Silk Village, and Sun Renshou had dealings with Fengwu Villa twenty years ago. Chai Shaoning had already felt that all this was no coincidence, but because Sun Renshou might be a thief, Chai Shaoning had doubts about his guess.

"Fortunately, we guessed the origin of Murong Nianhua. Fang Xiaoyun was shocked and said angrily: "The other party is too cunning! Xiao Xiaoyan is on her way to Taiyuan Mansion, when the enemy is bright and dark, if we are still kept in the dark, I am afraid that we will not know how to die in the end!"

But even if he understands this, with the strength that Murong Nianhua currently has at his disposal, it is no longer comparable to everyone, if the main messenger behind him is really Fengwu Villa, everyone is not at all sure that they will win this battle.

Zhao Yinian shouted angrily: "Old man Song's words are more sensational than me, and my old Zhao has also heard of that Divine Sword Sect, but I haven't heard of Bai Wenxiu when he has a pair of green eyes." ”

Song Shoucheng sighed: "The Blue Clothes Gate not only has a vicious hidden weapon, but also a huge poison to seal the throat. If Bai Wenxiu's body was poisoned at that time, and his temperament changed drastically, who dared to guarantee what he would become?"

"Then you just say that all this is a conspiracy secretly played by Fengwu Villa, why bother making such a big detour?" Zhao Yinian snorted dissatisfiedly.

Song Shoucheng shook his head and said solemnly: "Since the generation of heroes Gu Xiaozhong founded Fengwu Villa, it has been famous in the martial arts for three hundred years, and I have never heard of any evil things done by the disciples of the Gu family? Without conclusive evidence, no one can speculate. ”

Zhao Yinian rolled his eyes when he heard this, and simply turned his back and ignored Song Shoucheng.

Seeing this, Song Shoucheng smiled bitterly and said: "Actually, what I mean is that this matter may involve the Gu family, but with the reputation and strength of Fengwu Villa, they will never and need to join forces with the Nine Ghosts of the underworld giant Chuan Zhong to make such a despicable business of robbing women." ”

"It's easy to do. Chai Shaoning said: "We only need to check if there is a young figure like Murong Nianhua among the younger generation of the Gu family." ”

Song Shoucheng nodded and said, "This is also a way." But you can only inquire in secret. A family like Fengwu Villa has the most important reputation, and if they detect it, they will have one more enemy in vain. ”

The crowd nodded yes.

While he was talking, Song Jiongming, the son of Song Shoucheng, entered the house and beckoned everyone to lunch.

Song Jiongming is in his forties, with a moderate figure and a slightly round face, perhaps because of his long years in business, he always has a smile on his face, which makes people feel very kind, and everyone affectionately calls him Uncle Song.

Seeing that Song Jiongming wanted two tables of banquets from the hotel in the town, everyone got up to help, moved the table and set up chairs, and at the same time someone went to wake up Song Yuanlan.

Everything was in order, Song Shoucheng accompanied Zhao Yinian to sit in the main seat, the small ring table was seated, and Song Jiongming went to greet Zhao Yinian's subordinates.

Soon after lunch, Zhao Yinian wanted to take people away, and Song Shoucheng also had to arrange people to pick up Ouyang Qian's daughters, and the two sides happened to enter the city together.

Chai Shaoning was the only one among the people who had seen Ouyang Qian's daughters, so it was natural to go.

Song Yuanlan heard that Chai Shaoning had somehow run out of another junior sister, and she was extremely unhappy in her heart, thinking that maybe Xue Nianci was still with Ouyang Qian, so she had to go with her to meet the "beautiful junior sister" who might become a rival in love.

Song Shoucheng felt funny in his heart, but of course he would not interfere in the affairs of these young people, so he nodded in agreement at the moment.

Fang Xiaoyun is a stable person, and the people who want to pick it up this time are all women, so Song Shoucheng specially assigned Fang Xiaoyun to accompany him, and Geng Qiuwen stayed to protect everyone in the Song Mansion. After last night's incident, no one dares to take the thief lightly.

Considering that Ouyang Qian's daughters were not suitable to show up, Song Shoucheng hired two carriages with carriages in the town, and let Fang Xiaoyun and Song Yuanlan sit in one of them, and the other was temporarily empty. Chai Shaoning rode on a tall horse given up by Zhao Yinian's men and walked in front of the team with Zhao Yinian.

The group said goodbye to Song Shoucheng and others, and soon left the town and entered the city, and under the leadership of Zhao Yinian, a knowledgeable old horse, they went straight to the old store in Hengchang.

Hengchang old store is located in the east of Taiyuan City, has a history of 100 years, the courtyard is divided into two, covers a wide area, the front yard is built for the temporary accommodation of travelers single room, multi-person room and for large families to live in the suite, and in the quiet, vast back flower courtyard, it has opened up several independent areas, built several chic two-storey small buildings, specially received wealthy and powerful families to stay.

In the west corner of the backyard garden, in the downstairs living room of a quiet and elegant two-story small building surrounded by bamboo and trees, Ouyang Qian, dressed in red and glamorous, had just received news that a pair of young people who claimed to be Lone Star and Leng Yue were asking to see them outside the store.

Ouyang Qian heard this, and smiled happily: "It must be that Brother Shaoning is talkative, so he said that he would go to visit Senior Song's house with Uncle Zheng and Aunt Gao in the near future, but I didn't know that someone would come after the afternoon." As he spoke, he was just about to leave the house, when there was a sound of footsteps, and someone entered uninvited, passing through the front yard of the inn and reaching the door of the small building.

"Please forgive the reckless behavior of the girl and the junior sister. I have heard the name of the East China Sea Hidden Immortal Village for a long time, and today Miss Ouyang is coming, and the two of us must get acquainted!" The weather was very hot in the near afternoon, and the door of the small building was open. Two white-clothed men and women in their twenties who were extremely handsome were talking and walking, and the words had already settled in the hall, the man faced Ouyang Qian and saluted with his fists, but the woman covered the hall door with her hand.

Ouyang Qian had already heard of the names of Lone Star and Leng Yue, and when she heard that these two people had arrived, she was also full of joy, how could she blame each other for being rude? I heard Shaoning say that you live in the house of Song seniors in Beiping Town, Qian'er was thinking about when to visit, but she didn't want you to come first. ”

Ouyang Qian in the house was busy beckoning the guests to take their seats, and the little two outside the door saw that the door of the hall was closed, although he felt that the pair of men and women were too rude, but the duty of leading the way had been fulfilled, so he turned around and left. However, no one noticed that outside the hall door where Ouyang Qian's sight was cut off, where Xiao Ershi was standing, three tall figures quietly appeared.
