Ninety percent of the land of Muyun Mountain is located in the three boundaries of the Central Plains, Hu Kingdom, and Yan Kingdom, and only 10% of the land borders Xianbei Kingdom to the northeast.
As the number one assassination organization in the world, Qilou's business is mainly in the Central Plains, Hu, and Yan countries, and Xianbei is almost non-existent.
This was one of the reasons why Xiao Yu was confident in sending the two old guys to the wilderness. After sending away the two old guys, Xiao Yu still used the Cross Bone Disguise Skill to look like a middle-aged man in his thirties. In order to look more real, he didn't even take care of his beard these days. .
At this time, he looked like a wandering middle-aged swordsman. It was almost dusk, and he passed through the southeast of Muyun Mountain and settled in a small town. After two days of running around, he was exhausted and needed a rest.
His appearance should not attract the attention of the Seven-Floor Assassin anymore. He was staying in an unknown town.
He ordered a table of good wine and delicious food. He didn't like drinking very much, but he actually picked up the glass and drank a few more ounces.
When you are drunk, sleep in bed. Only when you are sleeping soundly can you be free from worries. It will be windy and rainy tomorrow when we travel south, but I will be drunk today if I have wine.
After getting drunk, you can rest... At this time, in Muyun Mountain. Muyun Mountain is divided into three peaks and sixteen veins. The main mountain has three main peaks that hold the sky in the shape of a palm. On the mountainside, what is hugged is a majestic and towering building, which is a seven-story building.
The main building has seven floors. From a distance, it looks like a seven-story tower, with numerous auxiliary buildings, corridors, side halls, pavilions, pavilions... too numerous to mention.
Behind the main building are the west hall and the Jade Pavilion. Screen partition outside. A coffin was laid flat on two benches, and Si Yuanyuan's body was placed inside.
On the side of the corpse, cold jade is placed to prevent the corpse from getting smelly and rotting. The coffin is not covered. Three pillars of incense and two sticks of wax are burned in front of the body. Four maids keep watch.
As for the body of Yiqu Changping, a coffin was randomly arranged and placed in the side hall outside the main building. It was guarded by the disciples of the Lu Jiao main hall until Si Yankong, the second hall of the Lu Jiao, brought someone to retrieve it.
The inner room is partitioned by a screen. A noble middle-aged woman was sitting on a chair with a frown on her face. She was the owner of the seventh floor, Si Qing.
Next to him, a stunning woman wearing spotless white gauze and plain clothes was standing upright with her hands behind her hands, looking like a banished immortal.
There are a total of eight divisions on the seven floors, but she is the only one - the big division chief Ming Baiyun! Both civil and military, one person and one division, below Si Qing and above Qi Si.
In the Jade Pavilion, there are galleries, screens, incense burners, potted plants, cultural relics... everything. Behind Si Qing and Bai Yun, several maids were serving tea and feng shui. They stood upright and their breathing was restrained and orderly. They were obviously masters of the family.
On a vertical clothes rack on one side, there was a green phoenix robe that had just been sewn. Si Qing covered her mouth and looked at the dress with tears in her eyes.
The fabric of this dress was delivered to the mountain just the day before yesterday. Zhao Mingyun also said that it was a Dragon Boat Festival gift from her son.
But today at noon, the bodies of his beloved son Si Yuanyuan and Na Yiqu Changping were delivered. How can Si Qing not be angry?
! But she saw Si Qing covering her face with her right hand, holding the armrests of the Grand Master's chair tightly from left to right, with blue veins popping out, and the tiger skin cushion creaked as she scratched it.
Kneeling in front of her was Zhao Mingyun, the third division commander. Zhao Mingyun didn't dare to look up at Si Qing. She didn't dare to make any move without Si Qing's order. She could only kneel there tremblingly without saying a word.
After a long time, Si Qing wiped away her tears gently, looked at Zhao Mingyun with stern eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Is that bastard Lan Sha back?" Zhao Mingyun hurriedly replied: "Back to the host, outside the hall."
"You haven't been called in yet!" Si Qing scolded.
"Yes, the host." Upon hearing this, the two maids hurriedly turned around and went out to summon Lan Sha, the Sixth Division Commander. A moment later, Lan Sha walked in quickly, knelt directly in front of Si Qing, clasped his fists and said, "This subordinate neglected his duty and caused the death of the young master. I am willing to take the blame."
"You bastard!" Si Qing was furious, grabbed the purple sand cup with tea in hand and smashed it over Lan Sha's head.
The cup was shattered on the ground, and his head was bleeding. Lansha was trembling with fear and did not dare to say anything.
"Please express my condolences, sir!" Baiyun on one side patted Si Qing's shoulder and comforted softly. Si Qing sighed and said in a deep voice: "I asked you to accompany him to study. It would be better for you to accompany him to the brothel! The same is true for Yiqu Changping. He entered the country from Dahu and didn't follow Qiu Linpu. Go to Fang Zhoushan and insist on staying here. I’m really angry! Zhao Mingyun, you are too! With the Meridian Department in your hands, don’t you know to investigate my son’s situation? Just let him do whatever he wants! Hmph!”
"This subordinate has neglected his duty, please punish me from the poster!" Zhao Mingyun was so frightened that she hurriedly kowtowed in apology.
"Huh..." Si Qing took a deep breath, calmed down, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, everyone, please go out. Leave me and Yuan'er alone, and get out of here." Si Qing said After finishing, he nodded to Baiyun.
Bai Yun led everyone including the maids out of the Jade Pavilion, and the maids each returned to their respective duties.
On the school field outside Cuiyun Pavilion. Bai Yun stood on the steps, Lan Sha and Zhao Mingyun stood at the bottom, standing with their fists clasped and their heads lowered towards Bai Yun, waiting for instructions.
Bai Yun said calmly: "Sword Division Lan Sha and Meridian Division Zhao Mingyun obey the order."
"Lan Sha is here!"
"Zhao Mingyun is here!" the two of them replied.
"Lan Sha cut off three of his fingers and will deduct three years of salary. Tomorrow, Ziyi, the Seventh Swordsman, and the Swordsman will go down the mountain to find and hunt Ji Ruge; Zhao Mingyun will deduct one year of salary, and the Meridian Department will do their best to track down Ji Ruge. Ge's whereabouts, investigate the details of the Mang woman, issue a killing order, and order killers from all over the world to hunt down these two people. Secondly, rank first in this building, with a reward of 300,000 taels, and within seven days, Ji Ruge The head will be buried with the young master!" Bai Yun waved his hand slightly and said slowly to the two of them.
"Yes, I will obey the commander's orders!" Lan Sha and Zhao Mingyun replied at the same time. Zhao Mingyun took the lead in retreating.
After Lan Sha finished speaking, he tapped the scabbard on his waist, and the inner force shook out the sword. He stretched out his left hand, and the sword was sharp. After passing the hand, Lan Sha lowered the little finger, ring finger, and middle finger of his left hand. He put away the sword with his right hand and bowed. Retreat.
After the two people retreated, Si Qing's roar came from the Jade Pavilion: "Yun'er, if Ji Ruge is not caught within seven days, then everyone who has anything to do with him will be buried with my son!!! "
"Yes, the poster." Such an action was against the moral principles of the world and could easily arouse public anger. Bai Yun originally wanted to say one more thing, but she hesitated. Si Qing's voice was so deafening that she did not dare to say anything at this time, so she had to wait. I will advise you later.
...April twenty-two. The sky is dark and overcast with light rain. Xiaoyu hurried back south and did not dare to take a boat to pass through the Muyun Mountain boundary. He could only take the land route to bypass Muyun Mountain, wearing a raincoat and a hat, riding in the mud.
After half a day's journey, we passed the south side of Muyun Mountain and reached the border of Langzhou in the Central Plains. At the border between the two states, the city was desolate and inhabited after the unification of the Central Plains, and there were no towns around. Xiaoyu had to travel dozens of miles to find a roadside tavern.
It just so happens that the tavern here is the best. Immediately under the eaves, Xiaoyu dismounted, shook the rain off his body, and stepped into the restaurant.
Xiaoyu ordered half a catty of beef and two ounces of wine, handed the wine bag to the second brother to fill for the journey, and started eating by himself.
Just to one side of him, there were two tables of barbarians, all dressed luxuriously and eating the most expensive food and drinks in the tavern. They were chattering non-stop, as if they were discussing something.
Seeing that they were speaking nonsense, Xiao Yu couldn't understand either. She just frowned and glanced at them inadvertently. However, she saw that the leader, who was in his fifties, was wearing a brocade robe with an eagle embroidered on it and an eagle on his head. He has several bulging buns, a thin square face, bulging temples, protruding temples, and full of energy in his words, which shows that his internal strength has been truly practiced to an extremely high level.
You can't have barbarian masters on the seventh floor to assassinate you, right? Xiaoyu frowned and continued to eat peacefully, preparing to finish eating and continue on the way back south.
Xiaoyu didn't know them at this time, and they naturally didn't know Xiaoyu either. The one-sided relationship was really accidental.
Little did they know that the Hu people on this journey were none other than Beiguang Taoist King Qiu Linpu and his party, who came to the Central Plains to support the Fangzhoushan Lu Sect. The thin, square-faced man was none other than the national preceptor of the Great Hu Kingdom, and was known as Beiguang Taoist King Qiu Linpu.
