Under the leadership of Lin Manliu, the two came to the courtyard of the vacated house. All the utensils and ornaments were placed outside the door, and a space was cleared inside the house for placing couches and bedding.
The boy in a short shirt bowed his hands to thank the owner of this house, and Jiang Yanlin followed suit. This made the burly man laugh and reach out to pat the two of them on the shoulders several times.
From time to time, he kept saying, "The two little brothers have a good rest, they can stay here!" Lin Manliu had told him before that he would only stay for one night.
But this young and sturdy man was too hospitable and insisted on leaving the two of them behind, saying that he was going out to Lin Manliu and the others to cook a table of delicious dishes as a way to wash away the dust.
After being rejected by the young man in a short shirt for a long time, the young and muscular man gave up his thoughts.
"Those two little brothers just have a good rest. If anything happens, just call me brother!"
"Definitely!" After bidding farewell to the enthusiastic owner of the house, Lin Manliu and the others entered the house. The nowhere to live in these days of running around in the forest suddenly turned into the tranquility and comfort of a cottage.
Jiang Yanlin couldn't help but relax physically and mentally. After nightfall, he naturally fell asleep on the long-lost couch.
At this time, he was no longer afraid of the previous encounters because Brother Liu was by his side. When he woke up in the morning, he found that Lin Manliu had been meditating in the house early.
Jiang Yanlin sleepily called out: "Brother Liu...Brother Liu..." The boy in a short shirt looked sideways and quickly stood up.
"Since Yanlin is awake, let's leave early!" Jiang Yanlin hurriedly said: "Why are we leaving so early?" Lin Manliu nodded and said: "If we don't consider Daorong City, we probably can't leave at this time. Let’s get to Hehua Bay before dark!” Jiang Yanlin hurriedly put on his shoes and socks, having heard Lin Manliu tell them about their general route on the road.
Villages and towns will be avoided as much as possible along the way. There will only be a few places where the boy in short shirt has been before and knows the general situation before settling.
for
He would obey the arrangements of "Brother Liu". In a short time, everything was packed up and Lin Manliu and Lin Manliu were out of the house.
When the two were leading the horses at the Xujiacun stable, they found that Village Chief Xu was already standing at the entrance of the village. This elderly village chief holds a cane in his hand, his back pressed against the wooden fence, and his head is light as if he is taking a nap?
The sound of horse hooves trampling on fallen leaves woke the old man up. He laughed softly at the two of them and said, "You two kids... you actually want to leave without saying goodbye. Now I figured it out!" Village Chief Xu seemed to talk too much at once, and at the end of the sentence he started to wheeze and cough.
Lin Manliu just ran forward and wanted to help the old man, but Village Chief Xu raised his hand to block him.
"I'm just older...but not so old that I can't walk or stand straight!" The boy in a short shirt immediately put away the worried look on his face and looked at the old man with a smile.
"Grandpa Xu is always strong, but Manliu Taoism is still too shallow!" Lin Manliu's reply finally made Village Chief Xu smile while stroking his beard, and even the crutch that was stuck on the ground tapped twice.
"I knew you two were going to leave early, so I came out to see you off... You're too old to sleep, so it's okay!" Jiang Yanlin watched the boy in a short shirt cupped his hands in salute, and he himself also cupped his hands and looked at the old man in front of him. .
The two said in unison: "Thank you, Grandpa Xu!"
"Let's go! I won't delay your schedule. If you have a chance to pass by, you can come and sit down!" The old man said and moved his position to the side to make way for the path out of the village.
Lin Manliu called Jiang Yanlin to lead his horse and set off. As he passed the old man, he remembered something.
"Grandpa Xu! What I'm saying is that if...if someone asks about the two of us, please be sure to ask Grandpa Xu to tell the truth. There is no need to cover up for the two of us!" There are always some doubts in the young man's heart. If this trip south involves When it comes to other people, he doesn't want to see them.
Even if it is just a guess, you need to be prepared for precautions. This request made the old man laugh out loud again.
Village Chief Xu said calmly: "What do I think...I don't need you to preach, I know it!" Lin Manliu could only scratch his head and giggle, waiting for the old man's next words.
"In addition to this old bone that is about to be buried, I also have fellow villagers in this village. I am not stupid! I can handle things clearly!" The boy in a short shirt said in response: "Then leave with peace of mind when you are six years old!" Xu Cun The chief urged the crutch in his hand, tapping the ground hastily.
This means we are going to drive people away! When Lin Manliu saw this, he led the horse at a trot and headed towards the mountain road in the distance.
The old man standing at the entrance of the village looked at
The two people who "ran away" smiled even more happily. ...At the same moment when the two set off, there was a scene of dense water vapor and mist on Wenjian Lake in Yangzhou, which has not dissipated.
In this leisurely morning scene, there are also people who cannot cover their heads with the big quilt. Mingxi was sitting in the main seat of the attic, looking at the two letters on the desk, her eyes could not help but feel a little sour.
He raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brow, calling to Lan Wuqiu at his side for help in unpacking the letter. One of the letters was what he got when he heard that Marquis Texue was going south and riding into Hangzhou alone, and asked someone to check out the house in Yangzhou City.
Just as he expected at the time, there was really no one in the house. But this letter was left on the desk in his main room.
Just write on the envelope
There are only a few words, "Ming Sect Master's personal letter", but the content of the letter is pitiful. Four words alone
"Waiting for good news"... At that time, Mingxi was already filled with anger and felt that she had been tricked by Ye Chengzhu.
However, due to his desire for a stable situation, he did not take care of Yijian Villa immediately and had to wait for this.
The arrival of "good news". But at Yinshi today, Wenjianhu suddenly received this second letter and a blood-stained wooden sign.
Mingxi spoke aloud: "Today's letter, what did you write..." Lan Wuqiu did not reply immediately, but just moved the wooden sign in front of Mingxi.
Mingxi took a closer look and saw two words engraved on the wooden sign:
"Xue Tang". This was like an enlightenment, which completely woke him up. Ming Xi raised her eyes and looked at Lan Wuqiu, indicating that he should write the content in words.
Lan Wuqiu said aloud: "Xue Tang, the owner of the third villa of Yijian Villa, was intercepted and killed in Luzhou, east of Hedong. I don't know whether he is alive or dead..." The Ming sect leader of Wenjian Lake lifted the wooden sign with one hand and held it in his hand. in hand.
He smiled and said: "What a person who lives and dies... Do you think this great gift must be sent to Yijian Villa?" As the chief worshiper of Wenjian Lake, Lan Wuqiu was naturally suspicious. A lot.
After Lan Wuqiu thought about it for a few times, he clasped his fists and said: "Sect Master, it's possible that you are cheating on me..." Mingxi nodded and said: "No matter what the intention is, you can send this thing and the letter to Yi Just spread the news to Jian Villa..." Lan Wuqiu immediately understood and bowed respectfully to Mingxi.
As soon as the news came out, everyone in the world would know that the three owners of Yijian Villa who could connect the Yanyang Army had died.
At the same time, it can also be verified whether the subsequent actions of Yijian Villa will change due to the death of the three village owners.
If something changes, then this may be true. This revitalized sect is bound to be damaged and it will be difficult to heal itself.
The big owner of the village was controlled by Southern Xinjiang, and the second owner was a useless person. Only the free owner of the third village left earlier.
Mingxi asked curiously: "You said Lu Fengbai knew about this, would he rush back to Hangzhou directly?" Lan Wuqiu said: "Ye Dang heard about the broken pulse earlier, but he didn't hold back, so he probably wouldn't ..."
"Then don't worry about him, just let him be trapped in southern Xinjiang!"
"What if Yijian Villa still has a backup plan?"
"Since the previous trip to Southern Xinjiang, I haven't seen Mo Wuyan again. In fact, there is no need to be too cautious..." In Mingxi's opinion, the only person in Yijian Villa who can shake the foundation of Wenjian Lake is the purple-robed man. A counselor.
But for as long as a year, no news about him was heard from the spies inside the door. He must be no longer in the villa at this moment.
Although the tricks he is going to use are not very useful, they can still be used to test the reality of Yijian Villa.
Among those small sects that are ready to make a move, all they need to do is ask Jianhu's hidden stakes to instigate them to attack Yijian Villa.
This time, will there be a surprise force coming from the sky to rescue the siege? Thinking of this, the smile on Mingxi's face became a little brighter, and she began to close her eyes to rest.
If no change occurs, this matter is false. This proves Ming Xi's suspicion, but Xie Xie intends to protect these people.
Not only did he have Ye Chengzhu's helping hand, but he also had to be chained to Yijian Villa in the south as a dog by Tuxuehou. As far as he was concerned, Mingxi had to find a way to get rid of him.
Lan Wuqiu took the wooden sign from Ming Xi and was about to tell his disciples to prepare it. Just when they reached the entrance of the attic, they were stopped again by Mingxi.
"What happened to those Fengxue Grand View Tower disciples who surrendered before?" Lan Wuqiu turned around and responded: "Most of them are resentful towards Feng Xue Grand View Tower, and only a few are still a little nostalgic, but it won't take long, and they will definitely forget about it. !" The disciples of Fengxue Grand View Tower mentioned by the two people are naturally the group of people who followed Qi Xuan here and stayed at the rear of the battle.
Most of them are young talents from the Fengxue Grand View Building, and a few of them are personally taught by the elders in the building. If it were placed in the Fengxue Grand View Tower a few years ago, all of these young disciples would be candidates for future elders and deacons.
But all of them were killed by Qi Xuan
"Sold" to Wenjian Lake, most of these people have one thing in common. They all hate Qi Xuan, they all hate this scum who deceived their teachers and destroyed their ancestors, and at the same time they all hate the Fengxue Grand View Tower after Liu Mei.
In the hearts of these people, Liumei is the supreme and powerful existence and their spiritual symbol! Without Liumei's Fengxue Grand View Tower, what would it do to them?
What nostalgia do they have for them? Mingxi said: "It's time to let those who are nostalgic for the past make their own decisions. If you want to go or stay, I won't be stopped by Sword Lake..." Lan Wuqiu clasped his fists and responded, saying that he wanted to resolve the matter of the wooden sign. Will inform them.
Ming Xi added another sentence: "You can also ask the remaining disciples if there is anyone who wants to return to Fengxue Grand View Tower together, just think of it as a favor to Li Simin...
Lan Wuqiu spoke up: "I understand!" "What Ming Xi told me has changed into two things. The first is the big gift to Yijian Villa. Since it is already ready, it is naturally very easy to handle.
The second is to send back some disciples who are willing to return to Fengxue Grand View Tower, so that the one-armed old man who is now in charge can ask for favors from Jianhu Lake.
After all, he Mingxi now firmly sits at the top of the world, so he always has to be generous and generous. Returning more disciples is also so that you, Fengxue Grand View Tower, will not be bullied by the small sects in Yuezhou.
Are these disciples who have surrendered to Wenjian Lake willing to change their bright yellow clothes into gray robes?
Ming Xi and Lan Wuqiu's thoughts have always been tacitly understood. After working together for many years, Ming Xi already understood some of the strategies and strategies in Ming Xi's mind without Lan Wuqiu asking.
