A few days later, Yangzhou Wenjian Lake was located on the small island. Ming Xi walked on the edge of a shallow beach with his hands behind his back. The chief priest behind him had a bitter look on his face and always kept some distance from his sect leader.
"Counting the days, has Lu Fengbai held a grand banquet in the past?" Ming Xi said aloud.
Lan Wuqiu hurriedly responded: "It happened four days ago... The disciples stationed in Hangzhou also sent back a secret message..." Mingxi's pace slowed down and then stopped.
"Since a secret message has been sent back, why didn't you say anything before?" There is news, which means that the banquet at Yijian Villa contains information worthy of Wenjian Lake's investigation and knowledge.
Lan Wuqiu explained aloud: "That night, someone rode into the city alone and headed towards Yijian Villa. However, the disciples stationed there did not step forward to investigate carefully in order to avoid disturbing the situation..." Mingxi listened to his words for a moment. , showed an angry expression at first, but then quickly covered it up with a normal expression.
Anyone can understand this verbal explanation, and naturally no one knows about the subsequent events in Yijian Villa.
Then why bother to delve into it? Mingxi could only continue to speak.
"Do you know the details of the person who entered the city?" Lan Wuqiu said: "I just said that person seems to be General Yanyang, so I don't dare to follow him for fear of being discovered!" Mingxi didn't answer for a while, but just raised his hand. I scratched my head a few times before I spoke.
"If you can't understand anything, tell those people to go back to Wenjian Lake as soon as possible, and let another group of people go... You must keep an eye on the movements of Yijian Villa with me!" Since the discussion with Ye Chengzhu ended on the Lantern Festival night, He faintly noticed something was wrong.
The Yijian Villa built by Lu Fengbai did not receive any secret help from Que Xie or Tu Xie Sect.
But he appeared again and again in the disputes between Jianghu and Jianghu. At first, he really believed what Ye Chengzhu said.
I really thought that Yijian Villa was just a dispensable chess piece like Shenxing Temple, Yangfeng Valley, or Fengxue Grand View Tower.
But as time goes by, is this still necessary? It was Lu Fengbai who was the first to know where Bai Tian was with Wenjian Hu.
It was Lu Fengbai who indirectly kicked Fengxue Grand View Tower out of the competition. After that, it was Lu Fengbai who, besides Xun Hanshan, was the one.
It's just a superficial benefit. Fame, profits, manpower and many other resources all belong to him, the leader of the heaven and earth alliance.
However, what if there is an invisible dark place in Wenjian Lake? It is not impossible to say that they all returned to Yijian Villa.
At this point, Mingxi began to be wary of some of Quexie's arrangements. He became suspicious! Just as Ming Xi and Lan Wuqiu were talking, a deacon from Wenjian Lake trotted over.
I saw the deacon in bright yellow clothes, holding a letter tightly in his hands, and stopped five steps away from the two of them with a nervous expression.
"Report to the sect leader! A secret message has been sent back! It's related to Hangzhou Yijian Villa..." Mingxi said in a deep voice: "Speak!" Lan Wuqiu couldn't help but sweat in his hands, finally waiting for new news.
"The man who rode into the city alone has been identified... as Xiao Baoli, the Marquis of Tuxue from Yanyang's garrison in the north..." As soon as these words came out, both Mingxi and Lan Wuqiu looked slightly stunned.
Although they first heard the words "riding into the city alone", both of them had already thought that the man was heading in the direction of the army. But who would have thought that it would be that Taxuehou?
Ming Xi immediately asked: "Now that I have found out the identity of this person, where are his accompanying soldiers?" The deacon responded: "After learning the news, I did a lot of research in Yangzhou Prefecture... Sure enough, there were movements of the prairie fire army. "We should travel to Shannan at this moment, and we can enter southern Xinjiang in a short time..." Lan Wuqiu said: "If this trip is for Tuxuehou to go south to suppress the rebellion, and this trip to Hangzhou alone, is there any suspicion of being acquainted with Yijian Villa?" ?" Ming Xi asserted: "Most likely, these people sit high in the court, and they naturally want to raise some eagle dogs that can move freely in the wild..." Lan Wuqiu asked carefully, for fear of annoying Ming Xi again.
"If both parties intend to have a good relationship this time, will the sect master want to take action in advance if it affects the future layout of I Asked Sword Lake? Apart from this stumbling block..." Ming Xi said: "Don't take action rashly. Now the credit will be given to I Asked Sword Lake, but anyone who cares knows that apart from fighting, if we take action now, it will only get people talking..." The two of them were silent. The deacon beside him heard this conversation and was already horrified. extremely.
Even if he knew that some of Wenjian Lake's actions in recent years were not done by an upright sect, they still did not violate morality.
In the eyes of outsiders, and in the eyes of the disciples, their Ming sect leader has always been a good gentleman who is sensible.
Now, if he and his chief minister were conspiring so loudly outside Wenjian Lake, he would not be able to reject this little deacon.
The deacon of Wenjian Lake was between the two of them, and his eyes looking back and forth seemed a little wandering. Naturally, Ming Xi and Lan Wuqiu noticed it. Lan Wuqiu was about to scold him and drove him away.
However, Mingxi raised his hand to block Lan Wuqiu. The chief minister immediately took a step back, apologized and saluted Mingxi.
But within a few breaths, the two people's movements connected very naturally. It seems that this kind of drama has been performed many times in Wenjian Lake.
Ming Xi said: "If you want Wenjian Lake to get out of this world, you must have courage that ordinary people don't have. Do you understand?" The deacon immediately raised his hands and said: "I understand! I don't dare to forget the patriarch's teachings. I will definitely do it in the future." Do your best to serve Wenjian Lake!"
"There are many sincere disciples like you in our sect. You are all the pride that I can rely on in the future!" As Mingxi spoke, he raised a hand and slapped the deacon on the shoulder.
Hearing these words, the deacon of Wenjian Lake couldn't help but feel a sore nose, and bowed to Ming Xi with tears in his eyes.
His posture of bowing has already passed halfway, and he can press down any further.
"Thank you so much, Master!!!" Ming Xi said, "I still have something to discuss with Lan Zongfeng, so please go back first!"
"Yes!" After the deacon said his words, he kept his salute and stepped back without rising even an inch.
It wasn't until he was twenty steps away that he stood up straight, bowed solemnly to Ming Xi again, and then returned to the sect.
Ming Xi waited for him to go away and spoke out: "Look for an opportunity in the future to transfer this person out and supervise him strictly. If there is any abnormality, deal with it immediately..." Lan Wuqiu responded: "Sect Master Don’t worry, we’ll make arrangements later!” In situations where there are differences in seniority, sometimes the person who sings the favor may not necessarily be the righteous person, but the person who plays the villain is most likely his partner.
Otherwise, there would have been so many scenes in which the white-faced person sang and the red-faced person appeared immediately? Ming Xi thought about it for a while and spoke again: "The matter of Yijian Villa can be postponed for a while, but more people need to be sent to investigate the matter in southern Xinjiang. Be careful not to be noticed by Na Quexie!" Lan Wuqiu bowed his hands and saluted. : "Understood!" Naturally, Wenjianhu had long known about the Tue Evil Sect's outbreak of cholera in southern Xinjiang.
The reason for the delay in making any move was because he obviously had to take precautions against Quexie and Duyi Jian Villa.
As expected, Quexie did not give him any instructions this time. He didn't let Wenjian Lake touch Guanjiang at all, so he just sat on the island and watched the changes.
As he suspected, Yijian Villa began to publicize the Qingzhuang incident after the news spread in southern Xinjiang.
This has caused some sects around to denounce Yijian Villa... Why is it that when the evil slaying sect has not been eliminated and the world is still in danger, you, Yijian Villa, are holding a banquet here. Who is it for?
Why, even though you had the merit of killing thieves at Yijian Villa, could you ever be so arrogant and ignore others?
Although the stability of the world is not supported by your Yijian Villa faction, you should not hide in the shadow of others and enjoy yourself in leisure!
Naturally, these words also spread into Wenjian Lake and reached the ears of Ming Xi and Lan Wuqiu. There were also disciples who wanted to express their indignation to them, hoping to hold Yijian Villa to account, but they were all rejected by Mingxi.
Because as the only understanding person besides Yijian Villa, he naturally knew what Lu Fengbai wanted to do.
The big banquet was just for him to see. He is also the one who doesn't pay attention to people. As for those remaining shades, it’s up to Wenjianhu to replace them
When you "remediate the aftermath", you gain both fame and fortune. Therefore, Mingxi responded to Lu Fengbai's actions by inaction.
What I want is for everyone in Yijian Villa to sing a one-man show by themselves! But what he didn't expect was that the Liaoyuan Army and the Treading Snow Marquis suddenly moved south... This also made Mingxi have some doubts about Que Xie's actions.
According to Quexie's previous actions, all matters in the south should be left to Ye Chengzhu to handle. Now there is an extra Taxuehou who is fighting on the battlefield. Is this a change of power in the court, or does Qie Xie have other plans?
Lan Wuqiu, who was beside him, was about to leave to deal with the matters he had just arranged, but was stopped by Mingxi.
"Can I still contact the informant who was originally staying in the city?" Lan Wuqiu said: "After all the matters at hand are dealt with, I will take a boat to the city to visit? There was no sign of evacuation before... "Ming Xi said: "If we can invite those people who have the right to speak, we will invite them to the island to negotiate, and send more people to guard the island!" Lan Wuqiu immediately understood, responded and asked Walk inside Jianhu Lake.
"I'll do it right now!" On the way out, Lan Zongfang couldn't help but sigh in his heart, his sect master's methods were ruthless.
If it is time to change the surname to Xiao in the south, Wenjian Lake should really take action now. Only after we completely break up with Que Xie can we negotiate terms with the Taxue Marquis.
But if the Liaoyuan Army that went south was only to suppress the rebellion and did not interfere in the political affairs of the South, then Wenjian Lake should re-establish a stable relationship with Quexie.
So that the status of Wenjian Lake can be more stable! In the end, only Mingxi was left in the shallows of Wenjian Lake.
Looking at the fine sand and gravel at his feet that were wetted by the waves from time to time, he stared at it for a long time, and then stepped on it.
A pothole appeared in front of Mingxi's eyes. When the next wave swept over, a lot of lake water gathered in the depression created by his step.
The sand was soaked by the lake water, and suddenly a small shrimp broke out of the ground and circled in the pothole.
Mingxi didn't know where the anger arose in her heart, but she didn't even wait for the wave to recede before kicking out again! The small shrimp was trampled to pieces along with the lake water, and the force did not fade away for a long time.
When the anger in his heart subsided, he turned around and left. All that was left was an unsightly puddle on the shoal, allowing the waves to erode...
