143 Three factions
Lu Chenglong sent the short letter over, and Cheng Yitian read it carefully. It's just three lines of words, and he can see him in a cold sweat. Lu Chenglong said to Du, Xiao, and Yin: "The three factions of Qingcheng, Emei, and Huashan, the head of the family personally went down the mountain. Now it has gathered Nanchuan. β
Du Xiaoyin had already known the content before, and his pale face, which had long been pale, had gradually recovered at this moment.
Nanchuan is very close to Jiaocheng, and the fast horse will arrive in half a day. And from Jiaocheng to Huawu, it took almost half a day. A day and a half, and maybe a whole night in between, Du Xiaoyin agreed that the most important thing to do at the moment is to return to Yishan immediately.
Because, Huawu can't stop these three sects!
Cheng Yitian found the spruce by the stream and asked her to go with him. Leng Xiang'er would never stay alone, so the two of them set off with him together.
Pegasus traveled for half a day and arrived at Hanshan. From here to the southeast, there is a small half day to enter the Yishan. There is a sentry post in Hanshan Town, and the heads of the three major factions have not left Nanchuan so far.
This is a strange thing.
Rao is an old Jianghu like Du Boyang, and he can't think of the three major sects of Emei, Qingcheng, and Huashan that have gathered together, why don't they kill Yicheng with great momentum?
Even if they are a little afraid of strength!
Because of this, they who had already arrived at Hanshan were no longer in a hurry, and found a nearby inn. Three upper rooms and one second-class room, Cheng Yitian lives alone, two girls share a room, Du Boyang, Xiao Sanlang, and Yin Thirteen live in a room, and two entourages live in a second-class room.
After dinner, they went back to their rooms. Spruce sat under the window, looking at the candle-lit window paper, and was fascinated. Xiang'er walked over and sat down on the side. Across the small coffee table, Xiang'er sighed softly, and then said, "Don't look at it, you have to make a decision, it's better to do it as soon as possible." β
"Is the Eagle King really betraying him and Xie Gang for you, and wants to kill you?"
Xiang'er was stunned: "What's wrong?" her expression quickly cooled, "Who is he, don't you know better than me?"
"It's because I know better that I can't believe it. As he spoke, Spruce got up from the couch and looked at the other party, "It's interesting to be threatened by your life, and you have to be courteous to Brother Yitian?"
"You know everything?" Xiang'er's face turned pale, and she immediately turned red, annoyed and angry, "That's also forced by you!" gasped a few times, not lacking grief and indignation: "When I was allowed to leave, he warned me: The people of Tiandu should take the soul of Tiandu with them wherever they go. The world is so big, there are as many storms as temptations, and they all have to endure itβwhat does that mean?
"In your heart, a man is the value of a backer?"
"Yes!" The suddenly raised voice instantly interrupted the other party's questioning, and the confusion, fear, unwillingness, and anger that had been buried in my heart for a long time all converged together, and broke out again: "I also have beautiful dreams, and I also have the right to pursue my dreams." It's all the same people, why can you live so freely, so happy, high, call for wind and rain, and do whatever you want? Isn't it because of men?"
"When I was a child, the palace master asked us to do those things, but if you didn't want to, you ran away, and your stepfather, the old man Yun, would stand up for you. Although you practiced hard, you escaped those hardships after all. Later, you escaped from that village in Wolf Mountain, and the end was supposed to be bad, but you ran into him. How good he is to you, almost all of his country is held in front of you, but you disdain, wave your sleeves and leave in style. Everyone thinks that you made a bad move at that time, but what happened next? You actually caught a new upstart in today's martial arts-young Duojin, surrounded by masters like Du Boyang and Xiao Sanlang, Spruce, when it comes to using men as backers, who else in this world?"
"I've never been what you think. β
"That's just the way it is!"
Spruce was choked and thought for a long time before avoiding her and pulling the topic back to her, "If the Eagle King really wants to kill you, it won't help you to make these resistances. Is it useful for you to rely on Xie Gang? Brother Yitian will not add Penglai Immortal Pavilion to the list of opponents for you. β
Xiang'er was devastated and very deflated. However, when the earthworm is trampled, it will still twist its body desperately. She said to Spruce, "Then, as you have done so many times, continue to protect me and take care of me." First, you obediently go with me and go to Jiaocheng. Why did Emei, Qingcheng, and Huashan stay in Nanchuan?" Spruce didn't speak, so she followed her words and said, "Because there are mysterious people in Jiaocheng. Not to mention that the forces of the three major factions are not strong here, even if the Sixteen Halls of Jiangnan support them, they can't find out the details of the Eagle King. You know best how powerful the thirty-six horsemen led by Sikong Changlie and Chu Feng are. They must have been the foil of Yicheng, so they didn't dare to venture in. β
This truth was also thought of by Spruce before. However, Spruce wondered: why would the Eagle King let others have such an illusion?
"The three factions must have misunderstood. She muttered to herself.
Xiang'er sneered: "How come? You are now in Lushan, so you don't know the truth." I didn't know that I had left Lianyun Mountain, but as soon as I entered Pingjiang County, the people sent by the Eagle King took me away in full view. After a pause, he added: "The team led by General Sikong will be more arrogant, you know." β
"Why Pingjiang County?"
"The pattern of the sixteen halls in the south of the Yangtze River, Jianzhuang is a symbol of their status in the martial arts. The main hall is in Pingjiang County, and then it has 15 branch halls. β
"Oh!" spruce snapped. Immediately, bursts of cold sweat ran out of his back. Jiangnan Sixteen Halls is not a good stubble, and the Eagle King's move is clearly a provocation. However, the Penglai city-state was divided, and the Tiandu City controlled by the Eagle King stood tall among many city-states, and the men who were baptized in the flames of war were by no means rash and high-profile.
Xiang'er slanted at her.
Spruce lowered his head slightly, and couldn't stop muttering: "Could it be that he is for-"
"To force you out!" Xiang'er's sneer was louder than before. Blind people can see the truth, but she has never been willing to face it directly. Xiang'er sneered coldly: Why do you have to pretend so hard?
"I can't understand why you have to leave him, or the fact that you can't choose between him and another person. Two people are enough to mess up, plus one more Cheng Yitian. Spruce, I'm the Eagle King, and I'll do the same - if I can't force it, if I can get it safe?"
Spruce was said so thrilling that he couldn't refute it, only sneered: "Maybe you should go back to Jiaocheng what you know, and then tell him everything you know." β
Xiang'er didn't understand.
She sneered and explained: "There is a woman who understands him so well, if she doesn't cherish it, what do you do when she kills it?" The mocking expression stabbed Leng Xiang'er's heart fiercely.
Since replacing Yu Xuesheng, the white arrow maid who has been stumbling and crawling in various incidents, has already experienced countless hearts, and now, it is not too much to say that it is full of holes!
A person who is in a hurry, what else can not be said?
"If you can let me stay by Cheng Yitian's side, the Eagle King will return it to you, and the prince of Yicheng will give it to me, and everyone will be even more happy!"
It was clear that the faint smile on Spruce's face quickly faded, and Xiang'er was very happy that the initiative was back in her hands: "Of course, you can also have the second choice I suggested to you at the beginning: the man is the backer, lean on this, and of course you can give up the previous one." The Eagle King wants to control the situation and force you to make a choice at such a critical time. Penglai Immortal Pavilion and Yicheng have joined forces, and there is no alliance in the whole world that can become their opponent. However, what if the prince of Yicheng grasped the plan of the Eagle King and sat on the mountain to watch the tiger fight?"
"The Eagle King is so proud, others don't see through it, he will definitely not stab it easily. The Transsonic Pavilion is all over the place, as long as a little gossip is spread, it can immediately attract the people of the three major factions to attack the Penglai Immortal Pavilion that is in Jiaocheng. β
"Do you think that Su Li of Emei, Ouyang Mutong of Qingcheng and Zheng Xiaofeng of Huashan will be the opponents of the Eagle King?"
The more she said this, the more sinister it became.
Spruce felt that he didn't feel much sorry for her, but why did this woman become like this after experiencing the sweep of time together?
At the same time, Spruce is becoming more and more uneasy: in Xiang'er's second suggestion, it is very likely that the final plan is not only Xiang'er's thoughts. Du Boyang, who was born in a big family, has a bold temperament, can afford to take it and put it down, and can definitely do things when he should be ruthless.
Brother Yitian may not be able to take advantage of others' weaknesses.
Du Boyan is not sure. Xiao Sanlang and Yin Shisan's actions in Yuezhou also fully show that they will only follow Du Boyang for the sake of Yicheng's interests.
Leng Xiang'er only cared about the noise in her ears: "I also figured it out, no matter how good the Eagle King is, it's too difficult to grasp." He was like a star in the sky, so bright that people were enchanted by him. But the more I tried to get closer, the more I couldn't get closer, and it caused a lot of sorrow. It's the prince of Yichengβ" As she spoke, her expression was as if she was soaked in water, and her eyes became watery: "Even if the financial resources he has are not comparable to the Lord of the Heavenly Capital, among the people, he is also a leader." As long as this disaster can be passed on to the Eagle King, Yicheng will be able to oppose the guest and fight for the biggest initiative since the establishment of the faction. β
"You haven't worried about the Eagle King? Behind Emei, Qingcheng, and Huashan, there are Shaolin, Wudang and Kunlun, these six major sects almost represent most of the martial arts, and being enemies with them is equivalent to being enemies with the entire martial arts. Maybe you can't get out?"
"No, it won't!"
"Maybe?"
"Maybe ......" Leng Xiang'er smiled cruelly: "Then what does it have to do with us?" paused, "If you choose Yicheng, Penglai Immortal Pavilion should have been abandoned." Living an idyllic life with Yitian's brother and singing with a wife, thinking about it carefully, is really a great joy in life. β
Spruce said coldly: "What about the little whirlwind in Jianzhuang?" I saw Xiang'er embarrassed, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised: "I'm just afraid that if you do what you want now, you won't be able to be busy in the future." β
Xiang'er is about to refute.
She answered: "Xiao Feiyan won't let you go." After a pause, "Yicheng is a big fish, not only you know this truth." β
As for whether to take the first path or the second way, Spruce thought about it, and finally left a letter in the room.
The next day, Cheng Yitian came into the room under the report of his entourage and read the letter: "Brother Yitian saw the words: six years of affection in my heart, never forgotten. It's just that Peng Laien has to read it again. Yicheng is in trouble, and if I leave, the disaster may be lifted. The rest of the things, with Du Da Master, Xiao Sanye, Yin Thirteen Ye to take care of, Old Man Lei and Leng Fourth Master will also do their best to assist, the rivers and lakes are sinister, I believe you will be able to get through it smoothly. "Signature: Spruce. A water of European body is small, clear and beautiful. After Cheng Yitian finished reading it, his heart was only blocked with countless big stones.
Riding a fast horse on the way to Jiaocheng. After a pause, Leng Xiang'er hurriedly seized the opportunity to say to Spruce, "When you see the Eagle King, you must intercede for me." β
"The Eagle King won't kill you for you and other men as you think. β
"That's because you don't know him. β
"Oh?"
"He has always been gentle and considerate in front of you, and he has never lacked cold cruelty in front of me. β
"Really?"
"If you go back with him, ask the others. β
Spruce was silent, lifted the reins, and let the horse pac forward a few steps, the horse lowered her head to gnaw grass, and then she said to Xiang'er: "Since I left from where and went back to Yunyun, I probably won't think about it." β
"Won't it?"
"What's wrong?"
Leng Xiang'er looked at Spruce like a monster: "Give up on such a manβdo you know how stupid your decision seems to me?" urged the horse to follow, "If the Eagle King treats me half as much as you, even if I die, I will not leave him half a step." β
Spruce sighed, and after a moment, said, "There are many things you don't know the details. After a pause, he changed the subject: "Let's hurry up." Before sunset, we must reach Jiaocheng. β
There is a small town in the western suburbs of Jiaocheng, and there is a very famous tavern in the town. Passing by the tavern, they came in and sat down. The guy at the tavern was very enthusiastic and waited: "Master, there are new beef and mutton in the shop, as well as pork and fish that have been marinated for more than a month, what do you order?"
The male guest said, "Let's stir-fry the bacon with green garlic." β
"Okay, put some mushrooms in it, it's crispy and sweet. β
"Yes!"
"Braised mutton too, our chef has an absolute secret recipe in his hand. β
The male guest glanced at the female guest, the female guest bowed slightly, and the male guest said to the guy, "Okay." β
The guy said, "Vegetarian fried or freshly picked cress, the road is open, and this is the most refreshing to eat after eating the meat." β
The male guest waved his hand: "Look at it." Two meats, two vegetables and one soup. β
"What do you want for the staple food? There is rice, noodles, and steamed buns. β
"Rice. β
"Two bowls?"
"One big and one small. β
"Come on. The man trotted all the way to the kitchen to explain. After a while, the vegetarian fried meat was served, and after waiting for a while, the fried bacon with green garlic and mushrooms and the braised mutton in a small stuffy bowl were delivered one after another. The green green garlic and snow-white mushrooms are paired with the red salty and lean meat, and the color is beautiful. The lid of the stuffy bowl is lifted, and the aroma of lamb rises.
The male guest was still able to control it, and the female guest couldn't help but swallow several mouthfuls of saliva one after another.
"Master Slow Down!" the guy left.
The female guest grabbed her chopsticks and went to pick up the mutton. Cut into square pieces of meat, even the belt meat is still sandwiched with crispy bones, and when you eat it in your mouth, you can't wait for your tongue to melt it away.
After eating more than a dozen pieces one after another, the female guest burped, and then she was reluctant to put down her chopsticks.
The man said, "Xuanxuan, do you want any other dishes?"
Xuanxuan stretched out a cute little tongue, licked her upper lip, retracted it, and sighed: "I think I haven't eaten anything delicious before." It is to follow you, live in a place where birds don't poop and turtles don't lay eggs, and live for dozens of days, drink those bitter medicines every day, and can't eat anything delicious. This mutton, I think it's delicious. β
The man called the man over: "Secret crispy beef, also have a portion." β
When the crispy beef came up, Xuanxuan's index finger moved, and she swallowed two pieces, but she was too full to eat, so she just left.
The man ate it himself.
Xuanxuan held her chin, and there was a way to get on the plate, for a while, put down the chopsticks, and said to the man: "Will you really help me and avenge my second sister and those brothers-in-law?" Zisha has entered your Yicheng, and you can kill her?"
Xuanxuan, in fact, is Hua Shuxuan, the seventh lady of the Jinling Hua family. The man who was with her was Cheng Yitian, the son of Yicheng, and his subordinate - Yang Yu, the fast sword.
