Chapter 17: Breaking the Conspiracy
Xin Shuangqing sneered, raised his voice and said, "Brother Hong, if you are willing to be the head of the Infinite Sword Sect, I would raise my hands in favor. Otherwise, hehe......"
As soon as these words came out, many people applauded loudly, they saw Hong Jin's strength, and hoped that under his leadership, the Infinite Sword Sect would become strong.
Hong Jin waved his hand again and again, he still has a lot of things to do now, but he can't stay here and be the head of the Infinite Sword Sect of this Laoshizi.
Seeing that things had reached an impasse, Hong Jin couldn't help but say: "The return of the Northern Sect is a great thing, I think the affairs of the head of the sect, as well as the affairs of the merger, should be considered in the long run." ”
A disturbance has temporarily subsided, and the immeasurable disciples of the three major sects each occupy one side, and it is really not an easy task to fuse them together in a short period of time.
Seeing that the plot failed, taking advantage of the chaos, Chen Youliang and Yuan Hui slipped away quietly and did not say goodbye to anyone.
Zhang Zishan made a comeback this time, thanks to the support of Chen Youliang and Yuan Hui, and now when he saw the two leaving, his momentum suddenly weakened a lot.
Hong Jin inquired about Duan Yu's whereabouts from Zuo Zimu, and only then did he learn that when he was traveling in the mountains and rivers, he was captured by the disciples of the Eastern Sect of the Boundless Sword Sect and locked up.
Duan Yu was sighing in the room, and suddenly saw the sun dazzling, and the two of them walked in with the light.
Without waiting to see the person behind him clearly, Duan Yu said with a pleading face: "Left Master, please raise your noble hand and let me go, good and evil karma will be rewarded." ”
Zuo Zimu smiled all over his face: "Duan Gongzi, I finally invited you here, if you are slack, please don't blame." ”
Duan Yu glared at Zuo Zimu, completely stunned, he really didn't expect how this person could suddenly become so friendly.
It wasn't until Hong Jin coughed heavily that Duan Yu saw him clearly, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, knowing that there was really nothing wrong with him.
The Infinite Sword Sect held a feast, invited Hong Jin and Duan Yu to sit in the first place, Zuo Zimu, Xin Shuangqing, and Zhang Zishan accompanied each other, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.
Suddenly, a disciple of the Northern Sect walked over, his face was very ugly, he looked at Zhang Zishan, and stopped talking.
Zhang Zishan said unhappily: "From now on, the various clans of the Infinite Sword Sect are like a family, if you have anything to say, it doesn't hurt to say it." ”
The disciple said hesitantly: "The disciples who joined later have all slipped away, and now there are less than half of the disciples of the Northern Sect left. ”
Zhang Zishan nodded palely: "Let them go, they should go, they are all gone, they are clean." ”
Hong Jin and the others all looked at Zhang Zishan and wanted to listen to his explanation.
Zhang Zishan's face was full of frustration, and he told the story of being forced by Chen Youliang to talk about it one by one.
It turned out that there were not so many disciples of the Northern Sect at all, and most of the disciples of the Northern Sect were people brought by Chen Youliang, and now they naturally left with him.
Hong Jin nodded, he knew that in the world of Yitian, Yuan Zhen and Chen Youliang had colluded with the Yuan people, but now he didn't know that Lu Dao, they relied on the power of that family.
The banquet continued, Zhang Zishan gulped down the stuffy wine, and Zuo Zimu and Xin Shuangqing's faces were happy.
The night was full of fun, and Hong Jin and Duan Yu were arranged in the guest room.
Hong Jin couldn't sleep, and saw the charming moonlight, so he wanted to take a turn in the Sword Lake Palace and take a look at the legendary immeasurable jade.
As he was walking, Hong Jin suddenly saw a shadow flickering in front of him, and his heart moved, and he secretly hid aside.
After a while, a person appeared in front of Hong Jin, and it was Zuo Zimu.
Hong Jin looked at Zuo Zimu's expression, which was a little sneaky, and couldn't help but quietly follow.
"Who is it?" suddenly a clear voice sounded, but it was a female disciple of the Western Sect.
Zuo Zimu was caught off guard and was taken aback, but he quickly calmed down and said in a deep voice: "I'm Zuo Zimu, looking for Senior Sister Xin, I have something important to discuss." ”
Hong Jin followed Zuo Zimu all the way to a courtyard, which was Xin Shuangqing's residence, elegant and deep, with a faint fragrance of flowers and plants.
Xin Shuangqing greeted him with a displeased look on his face: "Senior Brother Zuo, it's so late, what is the matter with you, tell me." ”
Zuo Zimu laughed: "Senior Sister Xin, it's inconvenient to speak here, let's go to your room to talk in detail." ”
Xin Shuangqing blocked the door, not at all to invite Zuo Zimu in, Hong Jin watched from a distance, and couldn't help but laugh secretly.
Zuo Zimu pondered for a moment: "Senior Sister Xin, you know that I have always had a love for you, and I took the liberty to come this time, I hope you can understand my sincerity and agree to this family business." ”
As he spoke, Zuo Zimu took out a very delicate phoenix hairpin from his arms, which was inlaid with a round pearl, and his face was pleading.
Xin Shuangqing didn't even look at the bead hairpin, she said lightly: "Senior Brother Zuo, you already have a family." And my heart died twenty years ago, Zhu Hai, you put it away, and this matter will never be mentioned again. ”
Zuo Zimu was very entangled, and he tried his best to grind hard, but Xin Shuangqing had made up his mind, and he never gave him a good face.
Seeing that if it continued to make trouble, it would only be self-defeating, Zuo Zimu sighed and could only leave in a huff.
Hong Jin thought that Zuo Zimu had some conspiracy, but he didn't expect that it was this wishful thinking, and it seemed that he wanted to reap both the benefits.
Zuo Zimu walked on the way back, and couldn't help but scold angrily: "Old witch, pretend to be high, if it weren't for the position of the head of the Infinite Sword Sect, you wouldn't want to give me away for nothing." ”
Hong Jin knew that Zuo Zimu's character was not very good, but he didn't expect to do it to this point, which was really speechless.
Hong Jin shook his head, and was about to leave, but suddenly heard the sound of small footsteps.
"Yo, Master Zuo, who made you so angry?" Suddenly, a sweet voice sounded, startling Zuo Zimu.
Following the voice, I saw a bewitching woman walking out, it was actually Gu Caiwei of the Western Sect.
At this moment, Gu Caiwei is not serious at all during the day, her eyebrows are rippling, and she is quite spring.
Zuo Zimu said angrily: "I'm worried about myself, what's the matter with you?"
Gu Caiwei said: "Of course it's my business, I know that if you want to be the head of the Infinite Sword Sect, then you need my help." ”
Zuo Zimu raised his eyebrows, and his eyes immediately showed murderous aura, and he said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Gu Caiwei patted her towering chest, and her snake-like eyes revealed a hint of viciousness: "Zuo Zhangmen, you don't need to scare me, your mind, I fully understand, you must cooperate with me to succeed." ”
Zuo Zimu said in a deep voice: "What do you want?"
Gu Caiwei sneered: "It's very simple, I managed to get rid of Xin Shuangqing, you tried to get rid of that strange boy, and then you and I join forces, then great things can be done." ”
Zuo Zimu shook his head: "It can't be done, Hong Shaoxia is not greedy for power in the first place, and it is estimated that he will not stay in the Infinite Sword Sect for long, what will we do to him?"
Gu Caiwei sneered: "I know that you are cowardly and afraid. I'm afraid, I'm afraid, if we get rid of Xin Shuangqing, that young man will not follow. ”
Zuo Zimu shook his head resolutely, saying that he would not deal with Hong Jin at all, and Gu Caiwei was still refusing to give up persuading.
Hong Jin was secretly glad that he didn't choose to walk away halfway, otherwise, he might really be secretly calculated.
Zuo Zimu and the two were discussing secretly, when they suddenly heard footsteps, and then saw a young man galloping out of the corner.
When Gu Caiwei saw it, she was only frightened, and the person who came was Hong Jin who she wanted to calculate.
Looking at the sarcastic smile on Hong Jin's face, Gu Caiwei's heart couldn't help but fall.
Hong Jin said lightly: "Miss Gu, I don't object to you wanting to be the lady in charge, but your scheming is too vicious, a person like you will only harm others more if you live." ”
Gu Caiwei knew Hong Jin's skills, she didn't hesitate at all, and when she came to Hong Jin, she knelt down, begging for mercy, and burst into tears.
Hong Jin sighed, he realized that in this river and lake, there are not only heroes, but also spineless people.
"! I don't think I saw anything tonight. If you let me know again, if you dare to conspire to harm others, be careful of your life. Hong Jin waved his hand and said with a stern face.
Gu Caiwei kowtowed two more times, and then fled in a panic.
Zuo Zimu's face was in a cold sweat, his heart was full of fear, he didn't know how Lu Dao Hongjin suddenly fell from the sky, but he knew that if his thoughts were a little worse just now, he might be unable to save his life now.
Hong Jin glanced at Zuo Zimu and said earnestly: "It's a good thing to want to be the head, but you must use proper means, otherwise, you will definitely regret it." ”
Until Hong Jin left for a long time, Zuo Zimu was still stunned and motionless, and all that came back and forth in his mind was what Hong Jin said to him.
Hong Jin originally wanted to go back to his residence, but after thinking about it, he still came to Xin Shuangqing's courtyard.
Xin Shuangqing was lying quietly in the room, and suddenly heard a noise in the courtyard, so he quickly came out and shouted in a low voice: "Who is it?"
Sou!
A white light flew towards Xin Shuangqing, and she hurriedly took the thing in her hand with a snap of her hand.
Xin Shuangqing found that it was a note, she looked at it and found that there was nothing unusual, so she opened the note.
The note read eight large characters: "Beware of plotting, beware of poisoning." ”
Xin Shuangqing returned to the room full of suspicion, she couldn't think of who would leave a book for her to warn, but in her heart, she had been vigilant since then.
When Hong Jin returned to his room, he felt a wave of tiredness rush over him, and he was about to fall asleep groggily.
"Give me back, catch her, she stole my baby!"
Suddenly, I heard a panicked scream, which woke up the entire Jianhu Palace, it was Zuo Zimu's voice.
Then I heard a series of vicious laughter: "Master Zuo, why are you making a fuss, this child is so fat and cute, I will definitely take good care of him." ”
Hong Jin suddenly woke up, knowing that the person who came to the Dao must be Ye Erniang, who has done a lot of evil and cannot be easily let go.
Sou!
Hong Jin scurried out of the door, and then made a jump to the roof, and looked around at the bright lights.
Not far away, there was a slender figure, rushing forward, holding a baby in his hand, laughing endlessly, it sounded very eerie and terrifying, thinking that it must be Ye Erniang.
Behind Ye Erniang, there were several figures chasing after her, and the one at the forefront was Zuo Zimu, the head of Dongzong, who shouted "return my child".
With Ye Erniang's light skills, Zuo Zimu was far inferior to her, but she seemed to want to see Zuo Zimu's anxious expression, so she didn't use all her strength.
Hong Jin was behind Zuo Zimu, not far away, and the three of them quickly left everyone behind and came to a forest.
Ye Erniang stopped abruptly, stood on a high slope, and looked at Zuo Zimu condescendingly.
Zuo Zimu pleaded: "This girl, I have no grudges with you in the past, and I have no enmity in the near future, please let me go, and I am willing to give you a thousand taels of silver." ”
Ye Erniang twisted Zuo Shanshan's chubby face, and said with a graceful smile: "What do I want your silver for?" I like this child very much, good grandson, you say, does your mother-in-law hurt you?"
Zuo Shanshan struggled hard, but his breath did not come up, and he began to cough violently, and his face turned red.
Zuo Zimu looked at Ye Erniang's form, and suddenly remembered someone, only to be so frightened that his whole body trembled, and he exclaimed, "You...... You are Ye Erniang. ”
Ye Erniang smiled and said: "It turns out that you have heard of my name, since you know my nature, you should know my nature, I will not spit out this meat in my mouth." ”
