On September 24th, the sky was slightly bright. Last night, Lin Manliu and Ye Dangting rested in the courtyard where Bai Zi lived. The eldest brother of the Jinwu Sect did not continue to grab the boy in a short shirt to study books together.
Perhaps it was because of the early morning, along with the chirping of birds in the morning, there were also some subtle noises in the courtyard.
The little girl with braids woke up from her sleep, rubbed her eyes and walked out of the side room. When I opened the door, I saw three young men and men of about the same age, squatting together, not knowing what they were doing.
At this time, Lin Manliu, Ye Dangting, and Bai Zi didn't go to the table. They just gathered around the ground together, making small noises from time to time.
"You can start from here today..."
"After taking a detour to Jiangning, we will return to Hangzhou..." Hearing the sound of the door opening from the side room, the three of them turned to look and found that the little girl with braids had woken up.
Ye Dangting was the first to speak up: "It turns out that Master Shen is awake. Did you have a good night's rest last night?" The little girl with braids nodded dullly, as if her sleepiness had not completely dissipated.
"This is Taoist Shen that Brother Ye mentioned. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. I'm Bai Zi of Jinwumen!" Bai Zi clasped his hands in front of his chest and saluted the little girl with braids.
Perhaps because the three of them had a deep conversation, Bai Zi no longer addressed Ye Dangting as the second owner of the village, but as Brother Ye.
The little girl with braids looked at the old liar in yellow shirt with some doubts, but remembering her escape with the boy in short shirt last night, she also slapped Bai Zi in return.
"Well... I broke into Senior Brother Bai's house last night. I hope you'll forgive me!"
"It doesn't matter, Bai is lucky to get to know Brother Ye and Daoist Shen!" After hearing Bai Zi's words, the little girl with crotch braids showed a small smile on her face, and then walked down the steps towards where the three of them were squatting. go.
Seeing this, the young man in short shirt squeezed beside the old liar in yellow shirt and made some space. When the little girl walked to the three of them, she looked at the ground surrounded by them. At this time, under the stone slab, the three of them had scratched dozens of white marks with stones, which looked like a road map in the Jiangnan area.
She also squatted down next to the three of them, carefully looked at the scratches on the ground, and glanced at the three of them.
"What do you think, Priest Shen?" Ye Dang asked aloud.
"On this return trip, will we meet those people again?" The little girl looked at the figure in yellow shirt. This sentence made Lin Manliu and Bai Zi a little puzzled as to why this Taoist Shen would ask such a question.
Even if he is worried about meeting that evil person again, or asking the Jianhu disciples why they are looking at Ye Dangting specifically. .
. The figure in yellow shirt paused, nodded and said, "After the failed attempt to capture the parachute man last night, he probably won't have time to take care of me and the others in a short period of time."
"That's good..." The little girl with crotch braids sighed. Facing the conversation in front of him, Lin Manliu was a little confused. He felt that the conversation between the two seemed to be hiding something.
. .
"According to Brother Ye and Dao Zhang Shen's wishes, are they going to leave the city later?" Bai Zi asked.
Ye Dangting and Lin Manliu responded together, and Bai Zi got up first and walked towards the courtyard gate. The four of them walked to the gate of the courtyard, and the young man walked down the steps and stood side by side with the figure in yellow.
"Well, before we say goodbye, I still want to thank Brother Bai for his help!" Ye Dangting bowed his hands to Bai Zi. Lin Manliu immediately followed suit and saluted with his hands raised.
"We say goodbye today. I don't know when I will see Senior Brother Bai again... Man Lin would like to thank Senior Brother Bai for this!"
"It doesn't matter! Ever since the war broke out in the southern border of the Heaven and Earth Alliance, I have been accustomed to traveling around the mountains and rivers on my own. I hope that when we meet one day, I can have a drink and talk with Brother Ye and Junior Brother Liu!" Bai Zi said.
"Well, then I'll say goodbye to Brother Bai!"
"Farewell to Senior Brother Bai!" Lin Manliu, Ye Dangting, and Priest Shen Xiao said goodbye to Bai Zi, and then set off from the North City Gate and headed straight to Huanzhen.
. . . . . . Two hours later, in the attic of Wenjian Lake. Ming Xi sat in the main seat with a bitter look on his face, while Lan Wuqiu clenched his hands into fists and occasionally glanced at Ye Chengzhu, who had been silent.
Previously, a disciple from Wenjian Lake reported the whereabouts of Lin Manliu and Ye Dangting to Ming Xi and Lan Wuqiu.
Faced with the news that the three people left Yangzhou City safely. . . Lan Wuqiu couldn't bear it anymore and slapped his hand on the table, then pointed at Ye Chengzhu.
"Ye... Mr. Ye, what do you have to say about the retreat of the three people from Yijian Villa!" The figure in black played with a wine glass in his hand and looked sideways at Lan Wuqiu: "What does Ye need to offer to Lan Da?" statement?
"
"If you hadn't boasted in Haikou that you could capture the second owner of Yijian Villa, how could they have escaped from Yangzhou City safely now!" Lan Wuqiu shouted.
Mingxi didn't stop him immediately, as if he was waiting for Ye Chengzhu's reaction and reply.
"I didn't catch it... so what?" Ye Chengzhu said at the same time, put the wine glass in his hand back on the table, sat down and looked at the two of them.
When Lan Wuqiu saw Master Ye, he had such an attitude that he didn't take him seriously at all. Naturally, he didn't take Wenjian Lake seriously either.
. . Just when he was about to curse, Mingxi coughed and stopped him. Then Mingxi turned to look at Ye Chengzhu and said: "That's enough... Mr. Ye must have his reasons for his actions. I hope Mr. Ye will make it clear!" After Mingxi spoke, Ye Chengzhu's attitude became better. He The words came out: "Yesterday, I was able to capture the second owner of the village... But when I encountered someone from the Jinwu Sect on the way, I no longer had the intention to capture..."
"Jinwumen...what does Mr. Ye mean?" Mingxi asked in confusion.
"Since Guizong led the Heaven and Earth Alliance factions and destroyed the evil massacre sect in southern Xinjiang, is there any news about Yijian Villa?" Ye Chengzhu asked.
"Yijian Villa first obtained Bai Tian, one of the four swords, and then killed the owner of the Fengxue Grand View Building and took Hanmei, one of the four swords... Regardless of whether the news is good or bad, it is all to flatter Yijian Villa... "What Master Ye means!" Mingxi thought aloud, but before he finished speaking, he realized what Ye Chengzhu was referring to.
After the war in southern Xinjiang ended, the owner of Yijian Villa, Lu Fengbai, went north with one of the Four Swords, attracting those who coveted the Four Swords in the world to pursue him northward until there was no result.
Then there was the team returning from the east, hiding their whereabouts all the way, not wanting to be noticed by outsiders. But news still came out, making all the things done in the southern border of Yijian Villa known to the public.
Mingxi had previously speculated that it was probably the Tue Evil Sect, with the intention of prompting other sects to plot against Yijian Villa, but Yijian Villa cast a spell to dispel it.
Seeing Mingxi's thoughtful look, Ye Chengzhu began to smile a little.
"Sect Master Ming must have guessed what I was thinking, and then asked Sect Master Ming to do it for me!" Ming Xi bowed her hands to him and laughed as well. This scene made Lan Wuqiu a little unpredictable.
Why is this parachute guest like this, and his sect master is still tolerating it again and again. . . Now he laughed even more strangely.
"Thank you, Mr. Ye, for the tip!" Mingxi said respectfully. When he spoke, Ye Chengzhu had already stood up and walked downstairs.
When he reached the corner of the stairs, the umbrella bearer seemed to remember something and turned his head to look at Ming Xi and Lan Wuqiu.
"What Sect Leader Ming wants is also what I want. I hope we can cooperate sincerely in the future!"
"That's for sure! Way to go, Mr. Ye!" Mingxi responded immediately. It wasn't until Lan Wuqiu looked through the window and confirmed that Ye Chengzhu had left that he turned to look at Ming Xi.
"Sect Master, my subordinates are still puzzled as to why they didn't intercept and kill the second owner of Yi Jian Villa, and why the Sect Master had spoken to that person before..." Mingxi sighed: "In the battle of Southern Xinjiang, General Yi Jian The villa holds the highest place in the world, attracting various factions to covet the gains from the southern border. If Mr. Mo hadn't been the mediator, how would their return to Hangzhou have been so smooth?" Lan Wuqiu nodded, agreeing with Ming Xi's statement.
Then Mingxi said again: "As for yesterday's Master Ye Er, we just need to find some people to write about his duel in the lake and let him kill Liu Mei. What do you think? "Lan Wuqiu suddenly realized that this method is very similar to the method of the Slaughtering Evil Sect!
"If Master Ye Er becomes another leader in the world after Liu Mei, and then reaches his peak...we, together with Mr. Ye, will take action again to kill him... "Hearing the words of his own Lan worshiper, the smile on Mingxi's face grew thicker.
"That's it. Yesterday or today, even if we kill the second owner of Ye Jian Villa, the impact on Yijian Villa will not be too great. After all, Lu Fengbai is still traveling far away. Moreover, now that Yi Jian Villa is getting more and more powerful, It is also possible to be counterattacked."
"With the previous method of killing the evil sect, we can solve our worries. When we turn against Yijian Villa, it will be the day when the Villa will be destroyed!" Lan Wuqiu also laughed.
"No, no, no... This is the plan that Mr. Ye wants. If this happens in the future, why should we come forward to antagonize him?" Mingxi shook his head and said.
"The sect master is saying that we only need to hold it up as much as possible, and there will be others who will kill it for us?" Lan Wuqiu immediately guessed what Ming Xi meant and said in surprise.
Mingxi didn't reply, but looked at the wine glass that Ye Chengzhu had placed on the table. After a casual wave, the wine glass shattered.
. . The ancients once said that if a long official's horse is fat, the observer will ride it quickly, and the rider will be delighted with his words and will continue to gallop until he dies.
. . . . . . At the same time, south of Yangzhou, on the mountain road five miles away. A carriage was passing by, with a fast horse galloping beside it.
The figure in yellow shirt sitting at the front of the carriage is Ye Dangting, and the young man in short shirt sitting beside the horse is Lin Manliu.
The curtain of the carriage was suddenly lifted at a corner, and the little girl with braids stuck her head out and looked at the mountain road ahead.
"Are you rushing to Jiangning later?" Shen Xiaodao asked aloud. Lin Manliu was about to speak, but was overtaken by the old liar in yellow.
"Well, I promised this little liar before to take a detour to Jiangning!" Ye Dangting said in response.
"To avoid an accident, do you want me to ask for directions by throwing stones?" the little girl asked aloud. As she spoke, she looked at the boy in a short shirt beside the carriage.
Ye Dangting noticed it and did not answer the question. Both of them were waiting for the boy's reply. Lin Manliu looked at the appearance of the two people and could only say aloud: "If it doesn't have much impact on Master Shen Xiaotao, just ask..." Hearing this, the little girl with crotch braids held a stone in her hand. She tossed it casually into the carriage.
Ye Dangting, who was driving the carriage, and Lin Manliu, who was riding the horse beside him, could not see the outcome and could only wait silently for the words of the Taoist Shen.
After a while, the little girl's voice came from the carriage. She recited eight words: "When you meet an old friend again, you can turn bad luck into good fortune..."
