Yuan Ziyi's sudden appearance shocked everyone, and then he whipped out his soft silver whip, and after a few ups and downs, he rushed into the officialdom. The golden dragon whip technique he had worked hard on was disturbing like willow catkins, and it was like snow all over the sky, shaking. It caught everyone's attention.
When Jiang Wen taught the whipping technique, he said that this whipping technique pays the most attention to skill. If you use improper force, you will hurt yourself first. Now once you become proficient in it, the shadow of the whip will be like a silver snake swimming by.
Before the weapons in the hands of the officers could be handed out, they were rolled up and thrown several feet away by the whip. The tight formation was immediately broken, and then Yuan Ziyi came for the kill, and the situation in the whole place was shaky.
Jiang Wen nodded secretly. Although this set of whip techniques is purely external, it still requires considerable understanding and perseverance to achieve such a high level of fire. Compared with the founder of the original Golden Dragon Whip Technique, one of the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan is one meter tall. The outstanding [Horse King God] Han Baoju, performed by Yuan Ziyi, can be described as pleasing to the eye.
But in Feng Yiming's eyes, the picture was completely different.
The expert his father invited from Prince Pingnan's palace had just broken through the monster's base with his front foot, saying that he was going to set up a formation and recruit altar soldiers. Sooner or later, the woman in purple appeared on the back foot, and the whip technique she used was also full of snake shadows. , weird and unpredictable, you can even smell a fishy smell in the breeze...
Could this man really be a snake demon? !
He was frightened to death. When Feng Yiming saw the weird Taoist priest who had easily beaten him a few days ago, his courage was about to be broken. He threw away the folding fan and ran outside the Beidi Temple.
Jiang Wen sneered. Now that he was here, how could he go back to fetch reinforcements so arrogantly? He took a lunge and used the Mianzhang Kungfu to fight with the opponent. His palms formed a ring and contained strength. He only saw a punch from the mountain and a palm from the slanting door. Feng Yiming was beaten into chaos.
Objectively speaking, Feng Yiming's Kung Fu foundation is not shallow. He is very methodical when walking and blocking even if he is flustered. It is obvious that he has worked hard in boxing and kicking Kung Fu, and he can be regarded as a young leader in Lingnan.
However, punches were no match for Kung Fu, and Kung Fu was so powerful that it deceived reason. When Jiang Wen was put in front of Jiang Wen, his kung fu was instantly full of flaws. He became more and more anxious as he was in a hurry, and it seemed that he even used the most powerful moves.
Slowly Jiang Wen discovered that in the details of his moves, in addition to the basic Jianghu boxing skills of Dakai Dahe, he also seemed to be mixed with a set of extremely fierce and fierce killing moves. His movements were already full of Qi in the Dantian, but because the fire was still shallow, he was very powerful. It can't even achieve a five-point effect, and it will be resolved and suppressed by the rudimentary palm skills.
After fighting with dozens of moves, Jiang Wen realized that the opponent's breath was exhausted, so he no longer hesitated to knock the opponent down with his palm. He stepped on the opponent's back and was unable to get up. Seeing that Feng Yiming was still struggling, he raised his foot and knocked Feng Yiming down. Yiming was kicked to the ground and shouted to stop Yuan Ziyi who was killing everyone.
"Zi Yi, we are not here to kill people today, just stop here."
The situation was settled, and the warlock called Zhenren Li hid aside and watched the whole process.
Because Jiang Wen was blocking the way to the temple gate, he had to hide behind the strong Taoist boy on the side. The three of them were obedient and did not dare to move. At this time, they finally said in a trembling voice: "The hero is right... we have no grudges. Why bother fighting and killing..."
Yuan Ziyi's fierceness had not subsided, and the cold light in his side eyes scared several people away. He picked up a steel knife on the ground, raised his hand to split the ropes on several people, and reached out to help the kneeling people.
At this moment, a sharp-eyed official noticed that the other party was slack, and the long whip was wrapped around his waist. He suddenly stepped on the ground and stood up, as if he wanted to grab Yuan Ziyi, who had his back turned to him.
Yuan Ziyi noticed something strange and had no time to turn around. The figure of the official in mid-air was suddenly pierced through the chest by a gleaming bronze sword. Due to the great strength, the bronze sword continued to retreat with him without losing strength until he was nailed. On the ground, vomiting blood, it looked like he was dead.
Jiang Wen looked at Master Li with empty hands, a kind smile on his face, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Master Li still knows the basics. We, brother and sister, just want to compare two moves on a whim. How can we kill people?"
It doesn't take much time for a smart person to speak. Jiang Wen's move of being polite first and then using both soft and hard tactics instantly made the other person understand that he was a ruthless person who was willing to reason.
You see, those who want to run are knocked unconscious, those who want to take action are hacked to death, and only those who talk nicely are still standing. Do the rest still need to make a choice?
The gangsters who had been untied gathered around and expressed their gratitude to Yuan Ziyi in panic. The old man kowtowed to the ground regardless of his bleeding neck, and then faced the direction of Emperor Zhenwu in the temple and joined hands together. Several tanned children also gathered around her legs, crying and laughing.
"Don't worry, no one can bully you with me here."
Yuan Ziyi's heart suddenly moved, and there was a trace of murderous intent inexplicably. He was thinking about how to protect these people, and he had to kill all the people in the government to put an end to the problem.
She came to Jiang Wen with lingering anger, and accidentally looked at Feng Yiming who was unconscious on the ground. She felt sick in her heart. For some reason, she felt that she could see a piece of wet blood on his gentle face. Mouth.
Jiang Wen saw the bulging veins in her hands, and he smiled first and found Li Zhenren in the palace.
"That's natural. I think Mr. Li is a person who hates evil as much as he hates evil. How can he tolerate evil officials oppressing good people? Now that the murderer has been killed, you don't have to worry about it in the future."
Jiang Wen stared at the other party, then slowly landed on the official zombie who had bled to death, sneered and said nothing.
Master Li understood instantly and shouted angrily at the officers: "Everyone put down their knives, take off their belts and tie their hands! You are all domineering on weekdays, I have long wanted to teach you a lesson!"
After speaking, he quickly rushed to the body, struggled to pull out the bronze sword and came to Jiang Wen. He wiped his bloody hands on the Taoist robe, which was instantly stained with blood and dirty. "My hero, it's all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!"
"I also think it's a misunderstanding! How can there be monsters in broad daylight? It must be that your subordinate suddenly suffered from hysteria and claimed that his upper body was invulnerable, so he killed himself with a knife."
Jiang Wen nodded with satisfaction and characterized the matter in an understatement. Then he patted the other party's shoulder again, and then lowered his voice and said, "Brother, I can only help you so far. You just called my girl a monster. Others She can leave, but she still wants to use your sacrificial knife..."
The strong Taoist boy beside Zhenren Li looked mighty, but in fact it was just a silver-like wax spear head. He almost dropped the clay pot to the ground when he shivered. On the contrary, Zhenren Li, who had been submissive just now, was more calm and gestured to Jiang Wen. made a gesture.
"My hero, I came out in a hurry, and I brought thirty taels of silver with me, so I can give the heroine some relief. If it's not enough, I still have some in the city, so I'll give you as much as you want!"
Jiang Wen raised the corners of his mouth, put the heavy amount of silver into his sleeves, and then said seriously, "Master Li, are we greedy and blackmailers? How can we covet the money in your city?"
Taking money is greed, not taking money is rebellion. Seeing the other party accepting money easily, Li Zhenren just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but immediately heard this sentence again and completely lost his mind.
What he was thinking was that the pair of male and female thieves on the other side spoke nicely to each other. Wasn't it because they were afraid of entering the city and falling into the government's trap? This person said that he was not greedy for money while still holding on to himself. Apparently the conditions did not satisfy the other party. It seemed that he wanted to add more money...
"My hero, I know that you are an upright person, and ordinary wealth is naturally not enough to express my respect. I also have a Yuhuan with cloud and thunder patterns from the Later Han Dynasty, and I must accept it today!"
Li Zhenren's face was still smiling, but his voice came from his back teeth. It seemed that taking out this thing was painful for him, and it completely lost the understatement he had when he presented the silver.
Needless to say, Jiang Wen could also guess that something so coveted when his life was at stake must be some kind of extraordinary treasure.
Li Zhenren groped from his waist for a while, then used force to tear off the silk rope, and took out a palm-sized curved jade. Even though the earth color was clear, it still looked warm and delicate. When he raised his head, he could see the water color through the light. As if to appear luxurious, the inner and outer edges of the jade huang are also inlaid with gold edges, so that even a layman can tell at a glance that it is a valuable object.
Li Zhenren took out the jade Huang, but saw Jiang Wen staring at it without moving, and quickly said: "My lord, this treasure has been passed down from generation to generation since the Later Han Dynasty. It was given to me by my ancestor Li Jue, the Great Sima of the Later Han Dynasty." Things have always been rare treasures in the clan, could it be that they can’t catch your eye?”
After saying that, he was going to stuff it into Jiang Wen's hand.
"Master, please don't bully me for my lack of education. I don't think this is a jade huang with cloud and thunder pattern at all."
But Jiang Wen saw Jade Huang suddenly making a sound, which startled Mr. Li, and then said loudly, "This Jade Huang has different patterns on both sides. Which is the cloud and thunder pattern? They should be the connecting cloud pattern and the flat pattern." The dragon pattern is the right one!"
Jiang Wen continued to reveal the opponent's secret, playing with Yu Huang with both hands.
"Forget about this trick of making up stories. The inlay technique you used is too poor. You just turned the antiquities from the Warring States Period into the shape of the Later Han Dynasty. It's a waste of natural resources."
Li Zhenren was so frightened that his right hand shook. Fortunately, he was supported by a strong Taoist boy and stood still. Then he looked at Jiang Wen with an embarrassed smile. His forehead was already covered with fine beads of sweat.
"Hero, you have such good... good eyesight!"
Li Zhenren didn't quite understand the nouns the other party was talking about, but he still knew that it was recorded in "Shu Yi Ji" that "a snake turns into a dragon in five hundred years, and a dragon turns into a dragon in a thousand years." No matter how the name is changed, this pattern cannot be changed. represents the time.
In ancient times, there were two types of decorations on bronze wares similar to jade huangs, namely the panchi pattern and the panhi pattern. The panhi pattern is similar to the panchi pattern, but the pattern is a slightly simplified twisting snake pattern.
It is actually very simple to distinguish. Because this pattern has scales and is in the shape of a long curly strip, the characteristics of a snake are obvious, but it is often used as an accessory and is very small. Some people think it is a silkworm pattern, and only a few of them are Like this as the main pattern.
Judging from the texture of this piece of jade, it is indeed a style that was popular during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. After all, most of the snake patterns in the late Shang Dynasty and early Zhou Dynasty were arranged in a single pattern; only the snake patterns in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods were mostly very small and connected in a spiral shape, so they were called "coil pattern".
The reason why Mr. Li called him the Jade Huang with Cloud and Thunder Patterns was because the snake pattern on this jade Huang always looked a little awkward and would make you dizzy if you stared at it for a while. This phenomenon may be due to the fact that each snake head is facing inward, like a mess of water plants with its source entangled in one place, thus showing a weird and deformed posture. Even the court officials in the pawn shop are likely to regard it as a strange thing. A variant of Thundercrane.
Li Zhenren did this for no other reason. The other party would always sell the stolen goods when they got it. Lowering the price would make it less painful to spend money to buy it back later. After all, this kind of unique product is hard to find in the world. If you miss it, it will be gone.
After Jiang Wen exposed the other party's little thoughts, he immediately accepted Yu Huang silently, and the two fell into a face-to-face stalemate again.
The atmosphere at this time was already slightly awkward, and he was worried that Jiang Wen's smile would disappear completely - that might be a precursor to murder and silence.
The common man is not guilty of the crime, and he cannot offer anything else as ransom at this time, otherwise the murderer will not rest assured of his intentions and will only die faster.
"The real person is really interesting. It's exactly the same as what I heard in the palace!"
Jiang Wen suddenly burst into laughter and said his intention without concealing it, "I heard that the person whom Mr. Shang trusts the most nowadays is you, Master Li Xinghe. You obey your instructions in every aspect of life, food, clothing, and daily life. You really live up to your reputation!"
"He turned out to be a friend of the palace?!"
After hearing these words, Li Zhenren's expression recovered a lot. He looked around at Jiang Wen's appearance, but he couldn't compare it with anyone in his memory.
"You don't need to read the real person, we are strangers. It's just that I came to visit on the order of Prince Geng of Jingnan Palace, so naturally I know some news in advance."
Jiang Wen said lightly, "Looking at the earthy color of this jade Huang, I wouldn't have thought that the real person would be interested in bright weapons. This is something Prince Geng didn't expect. I have to talk to him when I get back..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Zhenren looked at Jiang Wen with a pale face. Apparently he couldn't even fake a smile, and his eyes were full of despair and fear.
Jiang Wen just seemed to have just said some shameful "elegance". Logically speaking, it has nothing to do with it. Who in this wealthy family has not collected some antiques of unknown origin? Are they often picked up from graves?
But the problem is that the other party mentioned the Jingnan Palace, which makes this matter very dangerous.
The "Great Qing Code" promulgated in the third year of Shunzhi contained many clauses. Due to the turmoil in China at this time, many codes became empty words, and the regulations became more complicated and fragmented. One of them happened to be "stealing graves, digging graves, and beheadings". Being held accountable according to the law is tantamount to seeking death.
Gu Cuan
If others still refuse, it’s fine, but you must know that the death of Geng Zhongming, the first king of Jingnan, was because officials from the Ministry of Punishment, in accordance with the newly promulgated "Qing Dynasty Code", severely read a copy of Geng Zhongming, saying that he "under his subordinates Meile, Zhangjing, Chen Shaozong, etc." "A vertical soldier who hides a fleeing person shall be punished with death" and must be strictly punished in accordance with the regulations. "The fleeing person hides in the family to rectify the law, and his wife's property is not given to the owner." Geng Zhongming was eventually forced to commit suicide to apologize.
The cause of this incident is vague and unknown. It is thought that it was nothing more than the anger of the powerful people. However, at that time, Geng Zhongming "recruited 2,500 old soldiers and 7,500 new soldiers, making the total number ten thousand people", and he and Shang Kexi were ordered to do so. The person who gained the greatest benefit from the conquest of Guangdong was undoubtedly King Pingnan Shang Kexi...
"My hero, this is all a misunderstanding! This is not what I meant!"
Li Zhenren thought for less than a quarter of an hour, and then poured out the truth in an instant, "Prince Shang is getting older. A few months ago, he even submitted a letter to complain about his old age. He has already made plans to take care of himself. This time he came to see me just for the sake of his old age." In order to find a geomantic treasure, I seek a glorious shade to protect future generations."
He spoke vividly, showing an unquestionable expert tone, "I first found for him a good hole called 'Flying Phoenix Drinking Water' in the north of Guangzhou City. There is a stone ridge vein running straight into the hole from the top. If a person is buried here for hundreds of years, he will surely bless his descendants to flourish without limit!"
Jiang Wen listened attentively and nodded appropriately. He waited until the words were over and then said slowly: "Then, what does this have to do with you secretly digging for an open weapon?"
Li Zhenren was instantly discouraged and explained sheepishly, "It's like this. Although I found the location of the Feng Shui treasure, I was not good at it after all. After digging, I found that the real owner had been buried thousands of years ago. Even if there is a treasure cave now, It’s no use…”
Jiang Wen looked at the other person with a sudden realization. It turned out that repairing the tomb turned into digging a tomb. The person in front of him must have secretly taken away some of the treasures in the tomb. Shang Kexi is not yet in his 60s, but he has even thought of a way to repair his tomb and retire, which is not unlucky.
"I see, it was a misunderstanding. It was me who misunderstood."
Jiang Wen exchanged greetings with the other party with a fake smile. He suddenly didn't know how many misunderstandings he had had today. "Since Zhenren Li accidentally missed his hand earlier, he should make up for it. Why did he come to this wilderness to relax?"
"How can I rest? In the past half month, I have traveled to countless mountains inside and outside Guangzhou, just to find another auspicious place that satisfies the prince. I haven't been here in Foshan before, so naturally I have to stop by. .”
Li Zhenren explained with a bitter face, "I am not good at the art of Feng Shui. I only know that there is a unique Feng Shui cave in Guangdong and Guangxi. It is called the 'Hundred-footed Centipede Cave'. It doesn't take many years to be buried in it to become rich." It is said that future generations will be able to turn desperate situations into auspicious situations and their vitality will never be extinguished, which is so miraculous and unpredictable."
Jiang Wen curiously inquired about the gossip and continued to ask: "It's hard to find this kind of Feng Shui treasure land. I wonder if real people can gain anything now?"
Seeing no one around, Li Zhenren said in a low voice: "Not yet, I checked the dragons, sand, caves, water, and directions in hundreds of mountains around me, and they are all specious. Not to mention other abnormalities, the 'centipede cave' must be there." It must be surrounded by hundreds of holes and four-season inexhaustible springs to be considered in its rightful place. I have to continue with this matter..."
Li Zhenren said this in a long way. Of course, it was not that he and Jiang Wen fell in love with each other at first sight, but he expressed his indispensable importance in Shang Kexi's eyes, and invisibly put an amulet on himself to prevent the other party from getting angry. Evil intentions.
Furthermore, secretly leaking the secrets of the palace to Jiang Wen was equivalent to a surrender. The two of them each had something in the other's hands, so they had less unreasonable scruples in their hearts.
Jiang Wen could only sigh secretly at this. He was worthy of being a quack sorcerer who could deceive people like Shang Kexi. Zhenren Li had already mastered the art of showing weakness to the enemy. If ordinary people were deceived by his appearance, It is very possible to believe the other person's words.
"Since it's a misunderstanding, it's better to do things first, Mr. Li."
Jiang Wen ignored Yuan Ziyi's objection and waved to the official who was holding up his trousers, "Hurry up and do the work, don't let Prince Shang rejoice in vain. I am entangled in worldly affairs and can't get away from it. I will definitely get together at Pingnan Prince's Mansion someday." !”
Li Zhenren rolled his eyes and sighed quickly: "Yes, more than thirty people drowned this time, and even an official was swept away by the waves. I have to go back and apologize to the prince."
After saying that, he watched the official carefully walk out of the gate of Beidi Temple. Jiang Wen also stared coldly at the movements of the other group of people, planning to kill him if anything went wrong.
Yuan Ziyi glanced sideways at Feng Yiming, who was unconscious on the ground, and whispered to Jiang Wen: "Master Jiang, what are you going to do with this person?"
"How to deal with it?"
Jiang Wen couldn't help but asked the other party, "Kill or bury, you choose one."
Yuan Ziyi actually thought about how to deal with it seriously, and then a few dark-skinned middle-aged people appeared with simple smiles, saying that they could handle it for them. As long as they tied the people to the rocks and sank them into the sea, everyone was guaranteed to be safe. Not noticeable.
"I can't do it, I can't do it!"
Zhenren Li, who was focused on by Jiang Wen, had already moved to the entrance of the temple. Hearing the conversation between several people, he gritted his teeth and rushed back. He barely stood in front of Feng Yiming and hurriedly told his reasons.
"My hero, this Young Master Feng cannot be killed! His father is currently accompanying the royal guards in the city. If he hears that his only son has been killed, I am afraid that both the palace and the government will be turned upside down!"
Yuan Ziyi looked at Zhenren Li angrily.
"Are you looking down on us?"
Li Zhenren waved his hands quickly, but still stood firmly on the spot.
"It's not that I'm looking down on you, it's just that the two imperial guards this time are extraordinary. They are both among the top 18 masters of the imperial court, the 'Four Full, Five Mongolian and Nine Tibetan Monks'. There is no need for you to cause trouble."
Yuan Ziyi then put aside his deliberate provocation and asked Zhenren Li for details.
"It's actually them...who are the two masters from the Eighteenth National Congress?"
Since ancient times, rivers and lakes have not fought with temples. Yuan Ziyi also knows how powerful these masters and the government will be. Now it is a bit tricky to kill people.
It's just that maybe she didn't even notice it herself. Now when she heard that the Feng family had such a relationship, there was no comparison or envy in her heart, and she seemed to be left with only a faint fear.
Seeing that Feng Yiming's life had been saved, Li Zhenren quickly ordered people to carry him out of the temple before continuing to introduce the news in the city.
It turns out that during the period when the Heaven and Earth Society frequently caused trouble and the world was turbulent, the Qing government also realized the secret destructive power of the martial arts world and could not just sit back and watch the powerful people cause trouble everywhere, so it selected and compiled from the Mongolian Eight Banners and Tibetan eminent monks. Eighteen masters were appointed to guard the capital, known as the "Four Full, Five Mongolian and Nine Tibetan Monks", a total of 18 masters in the palace.
Most of these masters, Li Zhenren, cannot actually be named. After all, they do not travel around the world as often as Shaolin Wudang. But the most famous one among them is well known to everyone. He is now advocating the "Grand Parade to Lecture on Martial Arts" and personally teaches martial arts scholars. The first warrior in Manchuria who rides and shoots—Obai!
The two imperial guards who came to Guangzhou City this time were also young masters selected by Obai. However, compared with the famous Manchurian First Warrior, although they were both nobles, they seemed somewhat unknown.
Li Zhenren said that one of the two of them was Erdo, the nephew of Shunzhi's beloved concubine Dong E, and the eldest son of Luo Shuo, the first-class Qingqi Captain and minister of the Ministry of Rites. This man belongs to Zhengbai Banner Manchuria. Judging from his origin, there is no doubt that he is Shunzhi's favorite general. He takes good care of him both emotionally and rationally. This time he led troops to Guangzhou to serve as the military commander.
"His name is Erdo? Are you sure his name is that?"
Jiang Wen asked slowly.
"right!"
Li Zhenren nodded decisively.
The other person's name is Nala Nanchu, and he has a good background. His grandfather is Jin Taiji of the Yehenala tribe. He once competed with Nurhaci of the Aixinjueluo tribe.
Although his father Delgrad was only a third-class baron with the title of Zuo, there was always a legend in the government and the public that he was the ex-husband of the current Queen Mother. Anyway, the Queen Mother of the current dynasty valued this young talent named Nanchu very much and entrusted him with important tasks early on. Therefore, she served as the commander of the guard army, overpowering Ordo.
"Wait a minute, can Nala also be called Nalan... You said he was also given a name by the emperor, and changed his name from Nanchu in Manchu to Yuanshu?!"
Jiang Wen suddenly raised his head.
"That's right."
Li Zhenren also answered with absolute certainty.
Jiang Wen discovered that these two masters in the inner circle really had a good background. Not only did they come from the powerful nobles of Manchuria, but their names also had a vague aura of ominousness.
From this point of view, Feng Yiming really can't be killed for the time being. It's no wonder that Zhenren Li is obviously timid and cowardly, but he still has to go back to save people - Feng Tiannan doesn't know what route he took, and he can actually climb up to such a place. thigh?
"Let's go, let's take him away quickly."
Until Zhenren Li disappeared with his men, Jiang Wen and Yuan Ziyi were lost in thought. They seemed to be worried about the increasingly complicated situation in Guangzhou, or they might have been dazzled by some specious information.
"No, this guy lied to me."
After a while, Jiang Wen suddenly looked at the gate of Beidi Temple quietly and said this.
Yuan Ziyi was busy inquiring about Dan Min's hometown. When he heard Jiang Wen's words, he became obviously nervous, and his murderous intent appeared again.
"What? Are they going to come back and take revenge on us?"
Jiang Wen shook his head.
"No, I am 90% sure that he will not come back for revenge. We looked fierce, but in fact he just knocked out Feng Yiming and looked like an official. This is not a big deal in their eyes. But I just think there is something wrong with this person. Something’s wrong.”
Jiang Wen touched his chin, thinking about the content of what Mr. Li just said, "Look, this man is so good at telling stories. From the moment he told the story just now, our attention seems to have been diverted, and the content and rhythm have changed." Just follow him."
Yuan Ziyi said in confusion: "So what? It's just the trick of a charlatan. If he dares to tell stories to deceive people, we will find out after we go back to the city and inquire."
"The story doesn't have to be false, nor does it need to be false. It could be something he wants us to know, and the rest doesn't even need to lie to us, it just needs to be avoided."
Jiang Wen continued without comment.
"Isn't it a bit weird that he saved Feng Yiming with his story? He was obviously a greedy person in the front, but suddenly started talking in the back. If it weren't for his inconsistent behavior, I probably wouldn't have noticed it."
Jiang Wen was silent and looked at the setting sun in the center of the river. He finally stood up from the stone outside the door of Beidi Palace, wiped off the remaining blood on the ancient bronze sword, and slowly sheathed it. He was speaking as if he was talking to himself, or as if he was going to tell the truth to Emperor Zhenwu, but his voice could only be heard by himself.
"This city of Guangzhou is getting more and more interesting..."
