In the next few days, in order to ease the relationship between the two and compensate Li Mochou, Yin Zhiping would go to Li Mochou every night to meet her and accompany her. However, he didn't stay overnight like that night, and basically went to the third watch every night and came back on the fifth watch. can meet like this night and night, Li Mochou didn't have any more complaints, lost his temper, and the two of them got back to good times.

After beating the drum of the third watch on the long street this night, Yin Zhiping changed into his night clothes and sneaked out of the Wanshou Temple, wanting to meet Li Mochou. After leaving the Wanshou Temple, he didn't stop long before starting a light effort, and he had to bypass the palace first. On the straight line from Wanshouguan to Li Mochou, the Imperial Palace is the largest complex of buildings and obstacles.

With Yin Zhiping's light skills, he could have walked through the palace directly without a detour. However, the palace was heavily guarded, and even if he was very skilled, if he wanted to pass through it, he had to be careful everywhere to avoid being discovered by the guards, patrolling, and guarding. In addition, the palace walls around the palace are very tall, and it is not possible to directly perform light skills to jump over, and it is quite troublesome to climb up and jump over again. All of this adds up, and the time it takes to walk directly through the palace is actually similar to the detour, and not much different.

Therefore, in the case of the same amount of time, it is better to take a detour directly than to pay attention everywhere and go directly through the palace. In comparison, the detour is simpler, more convenient and safer. At least in the residential areas outside the palace, except for a few large families, not many families will arrange people to keep vigil at night. By the time of the third watch, it was basically pitch black, and everything was silent. There is no danger that anyone will find out. Yin Zhiping chose a detour strategy from the beginning, and he didn't think much about walking through the palace at all.

It's been so long since last year. The only time he walked through the palace was the night he happened to meet Hong Qigong a few days ago. That night because of the excuse he had made. There was really no way to push Hong Qigong's invitation, so he had to be forced to go once.

Performing light skills to walk around the palace, Yin Zhiping glanced at the palace wall he passed by from time to time. I thought that Hong Qigong was probably still hiding in the imperial dining room to steal food at this time, but I don't know how long he would hide this time. When he met Hong Qigong, he didn't tell anyone, and he didn't plan to tell anyone. First, it was unnecessary, and second, Hong Qigong had also specially told him that night, asking him not to tell anyone about seeing him, so as not to be found and disturbed by others to steal food.

For Hong Qigong, food is probably the first pursuit of his life. The rest of the martial arts, beggars, and other things have to be lined up in the back row. Delicious food seems to have been imprinted into his nature, otherwise he would not have made a mistake because of gluttony when he was young, so that he cut off one finger as a wake-up call, and since then he has been called the nine-fingered beggar in the rivers and lakes.

A gentleman is the beauty of an adult, such a gourmet, Yin Zhiping naturally wants to be fulfilled.

With light skills under his feet, Yin Zhiping thought about Hong Qigong and glanced at the palace wall casually. At this moment, he suddenly saw a figure jumping down from the palace wall. Immediately hurriedly stopped. Take a closer look. But just as he stopped his steps, suddenly another figure jumped down immediately after him, chasing after the person who had jumped down several feet away.

The first figure, he just took a random look and found it. Because of its suddenness, it is not clear to see. But he could see the second figure more clearly, and the image of that person was more obvious. He has snow-white silver hair that is very conspicuous in the dark night, and his body shape is also very familiar. It was the Northern Beggar, Hong Qigong, who he was still thinking of himself.

"There is a saying that 'say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive'. I'm faster, and I'll be there just thinking about it. Yin Zhiping said secretly in his heart, and immediately turned around and chased in the direction of Hong Qigong. At the same time, he carefully looked at the person who was chasing Hong Qigong, that person's light skills were not weak, and it must be extraordinary to be chased by the northern beggars, and he also wanted to know who Lu Dao was.

"Boy, don't run. Bumped into my old screaming hands, and still want to escape, why don't you hurry up and arrest me!" Hong Qigong shouted, like a swimming dragon, striding after him. Although he said the words, he did not lose his temper in the slightest, affecting the speed of his feet.

On the other hand, the man who fled in front of him did not dare to answer, but only cared about hurrying with his head bored. He was only afraid that the slightest delay in speaking would affect his speed, and he would be caught up by the enemy behind him.

Yin Zhiping looked carefully at the person in front of him, but saw that the man was still holding a long sword in his hand, and he was wearing the official uniform of a chamberlain in the Great Song Palace, and his figure was quite familiar. In the next moment, his eyes suddenly widened, and a look of surprise appeared on his face, but he already recognized who the person was. It's not someone else, it's the protagonist of the excuse he talked to Hong Qigong when he met Hong Qigong that night——— Zhao Zhijing, who is currently the imperial envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, that is, the defected disciple of the Quanzhen Sect that he told Hong Qigong.

He originally just casually used Zhao Zhijing's incident as an excuse that night to explain to Hong Qigong why he didn't sleep in the middle of the night and wandered outside the palace in his night clothes. But I didn't expect that within a few days, these two people really bumped into each other.

Although Zhao Zhijing was promoted to the position of the Imperial City Envoy of the Imperial City Division, he was still the status of an internal servant, and the Imperial City Division's office was originally located in the palace, so he still lives in the palace. It's just that the status is different, and the place of residence is also a little different.

But although he was in the palace, both his residence and the office of the Imperial City Division were quite far away from the imperial dining room, and the place of the imperial palace was very large and there were many people. Yin Zhiping never thought that Zhao Zhijing would collide with Hong Qigong, who was stealing food in the imperial dining room.

"I don't know how these two people collided, was it Hong Qigong who was ordered by Zhao Zhijing to check the food in the imperial dining room and suddenly disappeared? Or did Hong Qigong find out Zhao Zhijing's identity and want to help my Quanzhen Sect arrest this defected disciple?"

Yin Zhiping secretly guessed in his heart, and his feet did not stop for a moment, chasing in the direction where the two of them were.

As a disciple of the Quanzhen School, when they were on Zhongnan Mountain in the past, Yin Zhiping and Zhao Zhijing often competed in martial arts. Originally, Zhao Zhijing was the number one master among the three generations of disciples of the Quanzhen Sect, and Yin Zhiping had to be subservient. But since Yin Zhiping crossed over and took the lead in opening up the second vein of Ren Du among the three generations of disciples, martial arts have already overtaken Zhao Zhijing. For a long time after that, Zhao Zhijing did not take the initiative to compete with him without humiliation.

It wasn't until later that he walked the rivers and lakes to "capture" Li Mochou back to the mountain, and this period of time was also a period of great progress in his martial arts, especially in the rivers and lakes, and he fought with many characters in the rivers and lakes.

Soon after he returned to the mountain, Zhao Zhijing was also sent down the mountain to find him, but he had an adventure and returned to the mountain. Soon after returning to the mountain, Zhao Zhijing went to retreat and cultivate, and finally let him open up the second pulse of Ren Du because of this adventure, and his martial arts made great progress. After leaving the customs, Zhao Zhijing was very complacent, and because of his great martial arts and full of confidence, he came to challenge him in the name of competition, but he was defeated and returned. That time was also the only time he had fought with Zhao Zhijing after crossing over.

Later, after a period of time, although Zhao Zhijing also wanted to challenge him for the second time, that time he happened to be interrupted by Xiaolongnu's horizontal insertion, and was defeated by Xiaolongnu relying on two-handed swordsmanship and the advantages of the gentleman and lady's two swords. Since then, he has never fought against Zhao Zhijing again.

And the last time he saw Zhao Zhijing's martial arts and shots was at the Dashengguan Heroes Conference two years ago. At that time, Zhao Zhijing went out to fight Huodu and gained the upper hand, and he killed Huodu later, and he was already among the first-class masters in the rivers and lakes.

Now although he has seen Zhao Zhijing in the Song Dynasty Palace since last year, he has never seen Zhao Zhijing's move since then, and I don't know how Zhao Zhijing has grown in the past two years. Seeing Zhao Zhijing and Hong Qigong chasing and fleeing, they were at a stalemate for a while, and did not immediately close the distance to Hong Qigong, he couldn't help but secretly said:

"I don't know what Zhao Zhijing's martial arts are now, but just looking at light skills, he has made a lot of progress, and he can even be on par with Hong Qigong for a while. Although Hong Qigong himself is not known for his light skills, but his skills have reached such a level, and light skills naturally deserve to be among the top in the rivers and lakes. Even if he is lighter than Huang Laoxi, he may not fall behind. Of course, Zhao Zhijing's goods are naturally far from being compared with the Five Uniques. Hong Qigong still seems to have spare strength, and he is full of strength, and he has no effect at all when he speaks. And Zhao Zhijing is now afraid that he is fleeing with all his might. Although it is fast for a while, it will not last long, and it will be caught up as soon as possible. (To be continued......)
