Nowadays, there are countless secret sentries from Xunhanshan and other sects in Hangzhou city. At this time, self-protection still requires long-term planning. No one dares to think about the meaning of Zhou Mo's words.
Just when everyone in the room was silent, Qing Lan coughed twice, making everyone look at him.
"I think Taoist Master Zhouxiao's idea is a way...but we need to solve the hidden dangers in the city first!" Listening to Uncle Qing's words, the young man also began to think...At this moment, Ruoruo Xunhanshan went out in full force , together with those small sects that follow the trend, how can Yijian Villa resist?
But Na Zhankeng just said harsh words first, and then continued to observe the movements of Yijian Villa. Is there something hidden in the Forbidden Villa?
In other words, they were not sure about the movements of Villa Master Lu and others... so they held back. After pondering, Lin Manliu looked at Ji Ting and his master.
The young man asked: "Master, Senior Sister Ji, since the news about Fengzhou in Gyeonggi Province, has there been any news about Master Lu and others?" Ji Ting and Eleven looked at each other, and Eleven raised his hand, it was her Let’s talk.
"There was another news before. Half a month ago, around November 14th, Feng Bai and the others went south again into the southern Xinjiang area, and then they had a deadly battle with the Tue Evil Sect... After that, there was no news again. ." Listening to the master's words, the young man felt that perhaps it was Lu Fengbai's strange whereabouts that caused Xunhan Mountain to waver.
The ones Zhan Keng couldn't pinpoint were Lu Fengbai and his party, who had no news at the moment. And according to Zhou Mo's temperament, if he can say this, it must be related to his tortoise shell interpretation.
Lin Manliu spoke again: "Senior Sister Ji, is there a way to secretly bring out the trusted disciples from the village, and then pretend that Master Lu has returned to Hangzhou..." Ji Ting responded, "Are you trying to confuse the fake with the real one?" The young man nodded and said: " Well, Zhan Keng hasn't moved at this moment, maybe he is afraid of the missing village owner. As long as we send out the signal, we will know after a try!" Qing Lan heard the young man's words and smiled with relief, and also He slapped the young man on the shoulder.
"Manliu, you kid, you're not very good at sword practice, but you're really good at deceiving people! Uncle Qing is ashamed of himself..." The young man hurriedly said, "Uncle Qing is so ridiculous..." At this time There were so many people in the room, and Aunt Nuan and Hanzhi were still there. Uncle Qing's joking words at this moment were undoubtedly adding pressure to the young man.
As expected, before anyone else could express their opinions, Aunt Nuan looked at the young man with a smile. Su Miannuan said aloud: "Hanzhi, this is the face of a man, but do you know it?" After hearing the voice, Yue Hanzhi responded awkwardly, glanced at Lin Manliu, and immediately looked away.
The young man stood in the middle of the crowd, listening to Aunt Nuan's words and noticing the expression of the woman he admired.
I could only cry bitterly in my heart, Uncle Qing, you are doing so much harm to others! ! ! Ji Ting thought for a moment and then responded: "This plan is feasible!" Shen Qingpei smiled and said: "In this way, we can test the reality first and see what these people do!" Eleven finally made a decision: "Then according to Man Liu's plan, maybe it can be postponed for a while, so that we can have time to discuss the funeral!" Ji Ting said: "Then you all will rest here first, I will return to the villa first, and you will return Hang's matter must have been noticed by Xun Hanshan and others, just enter the village as normal tomorrow!" Everyone bowed their hands to Ji Ting, and Ji Ting returned the bow.
After sending him out of the house, everyone looked at the woman who took the wind for them. Watching Ji Ting push open the door and go out, the figure on a horse headed towards Hangzhou City.
Lin Manliu stood at the gate of the courtyard, looking at the figure galloping away in the snow. Those horse hoof prints were soon buried by the wind and snow again.
It's like no one has ever been here... The snow is very heavy tonight, the night snow is falling, people are scattered, the falling snow is falling, and people are gathering together.
After the young man closed the courtyard door, he sat alone on the snow-covered stone steps. No one mentioned him tonight.
I deliberately did not mention him. In the past, even if it had nothing to do with the old liar, he would be brought out and ridiculed.
But tonight, neither Master nor Senior Sister Ji talked about him. Lin Manliu naturally knew that something must have happened, so he could only hide these thoughts in his heart.
...The next day, early morning. The six people who returned south, together with Eleven, took advantage of the daylight before they got back on the carriage and headed towards the gate of Hangzhou.
What I saw along the way was just like the young man when he first went north, except that the snow was heavier than before.
Despite the cold weather, the hawkers or the caravans preparing to march westward were shouting as much as possible.
Because as long as you work hard for a month or two, you can survive until the New Year. At that time, when you have some spare money, you will live more comfortably.
Under the Hangzhou city gate, the Yanyang soldiers responsible for checking identities were wearing thicker clothes than before.
In the eyes of passers-by, these soldiers guarding the city have become stronger! When the two carriages of Lin Manliu and others passed the city gate, they were stopped by several Yanyang soldiers for routine inspection.
I don’t know whether it’s because the driver is still young and feels like he’s easy to bully, or what. One of the Yanyang soldiers yelled: "Who are these people in the car? Where did they come from? Everyone get out of the car quickly!" The young man was a little confused at first, but he noticed the changes in the eyes of the Yanyang soldiers behind him.
From time to time, he glanced behind the curtain of the carriage door, or at Zhou Mo who was driving the carriage behind him. At this time, he had some guesses in his mind... Lin Manliu then said: "I wonder if this military master, do you still want to ask about the warrior's car?" As he spoke, the young man raised his left hand and knocked on the car on his waist. Sword.
In this way, it is to emphasize the identity of these soldiers. They are people in the world, and they have the backing of the sect.
Normally after their identity is revealed in this way, the Yanyang soldiers should not stop them, because the Southland is dominated by those Jianghu factions, and the Yanyang Dynasty only helps control.
Facing the young man's reminder, the soldier paused for a moment, then raised his arm and struck on his armor.
Then he spoke again: "Many idle people pretending to be from various factions have appeared recently, and many of them have ulterior motives. I am also thinking about the stability of the city, so please cooperate!" Although his words were still asking Lin Manliu and others to get out of the car, but The tone was better than before.
Such a persistent attitude further confirmed the young man's suspicion. Lin Manliu spoke again: "We are the disciples of Yijian Villa in the city, as well as the guest ministers in the sect. Do we need the disciples in the village to come here to support us?" The young man's words were to reject his idea again, and then to test it. , whether this Yanyang soldier is related to the secret sentries in the city.
Hearing these words, the Yanyang soldier was obviously calmed down, and he turned back to seek help from other comrades.
But at this moment, suddenly several figures on horseback came from the city. The leader was a man in a yellow shirt. Both his face and figure looked sickly.
In addition, there were no falling snowflakes in the sky. It seemed that if the man stayed there for a while, he would fall to the ground and never get up again.
The city's troubled citizens immediately gathered around, and some sharp-eyed people immediately exclaimed...
"It's the second owner of Yijian Villa!"
"Is he the one who secretly killed Liu Mei? Why does he look like a sick man..."
"You...it seems like you didn't listen to the gentleman in the restaurant. He deserves it! He was crippled!"
"Please keep your voices down. Don't look at the many guards around you. I'll catch you carefully!" Suddenly, the entire West City Gate of Hangzhou began to hear about Ye Dangting's deeds.
Most of them said that he was deceitful, cunning, and a hypocrite, and the rest were to remind others not to say too much.
Ye Dangting seemed to have not heard anything at all, turning his head to look at the Yanyang soldiers under the city gate. As soon as the yellow-shirted figure opened its mouth, a bit of hot air floated out from its mouth and nose...
"I don't know, what's the point of your military masters blocking me like this?" The Yanyang soldier who had argued with Lin Manliu before looked at the sick Ye Dangting. A look of contempt flashed in his eyes for a moment, but he soon turned around. is normal.
He cupped his fists and saluted Ye Dangting and said: "I was just doing things impartially before, and I hope the second village master Ye can forgive me!" In his words, there was that
The word "two" was dragged on for an unknown reason. The figure in yellow shirt sitting high on the horse coughed twice and wanted to cover his mouth and nose with his hand.
But as soon as the right hand was raised, it slipped down, and then it was replaced by the left hand to cover the face. Seeing the embarrassed figure in this yellow shirt, the Yanyang soldier felt a little happy both physically and mentally.
Ye Dang listened for a while before continuing to speak: "Then since Ye has come to pick him up in person, can the disciples of my village be allowed to enter the city?" The Yanyang soldiers clasped their fists and responded: "Of course they won't stop me anymore! Brothers, let them go. !" The young man watched the conversation between the two, and his eyes fell more on the yellow shirt.
How long has it been? Why have you become like this... The man in yellow shirt seemed to have noticed the young man's gaze. He covered his face with his left hand and looked at Lin Manliu who was driving the car.
Ye Dang heard a voice saying: "Let's go back to the village..."
"Okay..." the young man responded. Then, two carriages followed Ye Dangting and the several riders he brought with him, heading towards Yijian Villa.
The result of this return trip was the same as the trip, returning from the side door. Just now, when passing by the main entrance of Yijian Villa, Lin Manliu glanced at the courtyard door.
There is no change from that day, the broken plaque is still hanging on the beams, and the closed door looks even more shabby.
The characters "Yi" and "Sword" in the falling snow can still only be seen clearly at the edges. No one will come to clean, so there won't be any changes... After entering the side door, everyone in the car got out of the car, with Ye Dangting walking at the front.
He looked back at the woman in black, but before Eleven could look at him, the woman in yellow had already turned around and staggered towards the main hall.
Lin Manliu and his master looked at the desolate figure together.
"Master, the old liar..."
"nothing..."
"Well..." The atmosphere at the side door seemed a little depressed, and Eleven rolled his eyes at the boy.
"Um... It's a reunion after a long time. Don't put on such a bad face! I'm annoyed just by looking at him. If you follow his example, I'll knock you!"
"Okay, Master..." Lin Manliu could only respond.
