The seven people who had "lived" in Yijian Villa for a long time these days were a little upset when they learned that Mingxi had fled.
Someone immediately asked about the ins and outs of the matter, wanting to know more about the retreat from Wenjian Lake.
"Can you tell me...why Jianhu suddenly retreated?"
However, Ye Dangting became the shopkeeper and sat back on the main seat, with a leisurely and contented look on his face.
Tell them clearly that I don't care.
The man who made the noise had no choice but to look at the boy in a short shirt holding the secret message. Lin Manliu didn't want to give these people a good look, but he also had something to ask the old liar, and he couldn't let the seven people in front of him waste their time. .
Lin Manliu had no choice but to speak out: "The letter states... The Ming Sect Master has become invincible in the Central Plains, and is preparing to go to sea to find those immortals on the mountains. While sharpening his own martial arts, he will further enhance the reputation of Wenjian Lake."
The explanation of the boy in a short shirt sounded like a big joke to everyone's ears.
Because their relationship with Wenjian Lake is probably closer than that of the big factions in the Heaven and Earth Alliance. How could they not know what kind of faction Mingxi is?
If Mingxi would go to the stage in person for things like fame and martial arts, then what would they do to Yijian Villa?
Even back then, the Ming sect leader had already mastered one of the four swords in the world, Gaojun. Wasn't he willing to take a back seat and wait until the Fengxue Grand View Tower declined before he dared to unite with the various sects to build the Heaven and Earth Alliance?
So they didn't believe Lin Manliu's statement at all!
Naturally, the boy in a short shirt noticed the difference in the expressions on their faces. He glanced back at the old liar behind him, who nodded at him and indicated that he could continue.
Lin Manliu spoke again: "Seniors must not believe the news in this letter, so it would be better to confirm it yourself earlier..."
Before the boy in the short shirt finished speaking, someone soon walked out of the crowd and bowed respectfully to Ye Dangting.
He asked with a very sincere attitude: "Master Ye must know some secrets, please tell me so that we can prepare in advance!"
If the news I heard today were true...
Wenjianhu, who was about to gain power, suddenly went overseas and deliberately instigated some bandits to disrupt the Jiangnan territory, obviously to provide him with a cover for Mingxi.
If the Ming Sect Leader is willing to let go, or if there is a reason why he has to retreat, then the reasons that can affect Ming Xi's layout will be even more unbearable for them!
But the answer Ye Dang heard was, he didn't know? !
The man in the yellow shirt put his legs on the table, looking extremely lazy, as if he was about to fall asleep like Qing Lan next door.
Ye Dang listened and said: "You have asked so many questions. Ye is not a god, so naturally he cannot answer everything... As long as you understand it, you can go back."
"If we all obey the orders of Yijian Villa from now on, maybe Master Ye can help us get through this difficult time?"
Ye Dangting raised his head and narrowed his eyes slightly to look at the man who spoke.
"These words have been spoken since the first day we met. As long as you are willing to cooperate, everyone will be prosperous and everyone will suffer..."
Hearing this, the man quickly took a step back, then clasped his fists on his chest.
He shouted: "Then take advantage of Master Ye's good words today, and I will take my disciples back to eliminate the bandits later!"
Just like before, the others also followed the same action, even the words were the same.
Lin Manliu watched the seven people leave one after another, and then he sat back in his seat and breathed a sigh of relief.
Ye Dangting joked: "Now that I'm out, I've gained some knowledge! Master Lin..."
The boy in a short shirt turned back to glare at him, and patted his cheek with both hands.
"Old liar, let's get down to business!"
Ye Dangting immediately sat upright, his previous laziness gone.
Qing Lan, who was sitting across from the boy in a short shirt, also opened his eyes at the same moment and began to wait for the next step.
Lin Manliu said: "First thing first, Brother Xue..."
Even if the boy in a short shirt still didn't believe Xue Tang's death, he still wanted to ask.
Ye Dang heard this and said, "Since you don't believe me, why bother asking again? But I can give you reassurance."
Then the boy in a short shirt looked at the old liar in front of him and took out a blood-stained wooden sign from his sleeve.
Ye Dangting handed the wooden sign to Lin Manliu, who also took the wooden sign into his hand.
The style of the wooden sign is extremely simple, with the word "Xue Tang" engraved on it. Is this the wooden sign of Brother Xue's military status?
Lin Manliu looked at the old liar in confusion, and the latter chuckled upon seeing this.
"Based on Third Brother's normal behavior, do you think he will still carry this wooden sign with his military status with him after he leaves the camp?"
The young man in a short shirt responded: "Although I haven't heard Brother Xue say anything about marching in the army, I can still see his attitude towards the military camp. He will never take this wooden sign out of the military camp..."
Qinglan nodded and said: "But this thing was sent to Yijian Villa by Wenjianhu himself, and the accompanying thing was the maple red... By the way, the Lan Da worshiper on that day also called it burning Zhuque!"
Hearing this, Lin Manliu had the answer in his heart.
He said in surprise: "Then someone from the Zhenbei Camp made a special trip to send Brother Xue's wooden plaque and hand it over to Wenjianhu together with Fenghong?"
Lin Manliu held the wooden sign tighter. After all, this news was the only good news for him in these days.
Ye Dang heard this and said: "But there is no need to be happy too early, because the whereabouts of the third brother are still unknown, but we can be sure that he is not dead."
The young man in short shirt hummed, and then thought of Jiang Yanlin's incident again.
He raised his eyes and looked at Ye Dangting and Qing Lan. The two people who noticed the change in the young man's eyes also became serious.
The three of them fell into a brief silence. Qinglan was about to get up and leave, but was soon stopped by Ye Dang.
"Mr. Qinglan, there is no need to leave, we will give you six o'clock!"
"That's fine..."
Lin Manliu breathed several times and finally calmed down.
He couldn't handle these things alone. If he didn't seek help, he would have no way out.
The young man in a short shirt felt his heart tighten from the first word he spoke, so that he could tell everything he saw and heard in detail.
From Lin Manliu's reunion with Jiang Yanlin, to the experience of the two hiding everywhere, as well as the Empress Su mentioned by Jiang Yanlin, as well as meeting the "Heguang" Cang Xuan and Zhao Xiang and Zhu Gaojiuzhi on the way back. Liu has said it all.
When the boy in the short shirt finished speaking, both Qinglan and Ye Dangting looked thoughtful.
Lin Manliu said: "If there is anything you want to add later, I will go to Yanlin and ask again."
Qinglan coughed and said, "That's about it. I believe you have some answers in your mind..."
After all, I just heard the news about Wenjian Lake's retreat. If there is a connection between these things, it is actually quite easy to guess.
Even before Mr. Mo left, he told them that fishermen who sit and watch the fight between snipe and clam will get impatient and will end up personally.
And the knife in the fisherman's hand can forcefully open clams or kill snipe!
Xiao Baoli's move south should be the first move.
Mingxi retreated early, probably to prevent the second stab.
And just between these two swords, a key figure appeared, that is, Jiang Yanlin, who was walking with the boy.
Lin Manliu asked tentatively: "If Yanlin is captured and taken back to Xijing, will he become a bargaining chip for those people to fight? Or will he be promoted to a high position in the future?"
Ye Dangting shook his head and responded: "It's not a direct connection after all. Jiang Yanlin's role... I'm afraid it's just to stabilize Queen Su's position. If she goes back, there will be no good consequences."
Lin Manliu sighed, his face looking a little depressed.
"They will definitely try to find Yanlin again, which will also affect the villa..."
Ye Dangting raised his hand and patted the young man's shoulder, shouting: "I've already escaped twice before, why don't I just keep running, what are you afraid of her doing?"
The boy in the short shirt could only roll his eyes. It was already terrible. What are you, an old liar, trying to do?
Seeing the actions of the two people, Qinglan stroked his beard and laughed.
"Why worry? Someone has already pointed out a clear path for you!"
Hearing this, Lin Manliu was even more confused.
The old liar said to let him continue to escape!
Senior Qinglan said someone has already shown the way?
The boy in a short shirt said subconsciously: "You're not going to run to the sea like other people, are you?"
A snap of the fingers sounded on Ye Dang's fingertips.
despair!
Lin Manliu looked at the old liar and shouted: "You can teach me!"
With such a negative teaching material, Qinglan's response seemed much more serious.
"It is unknown whether there are fairy mountains overseas, but there are four islands that Yanyang has not officially taken over yet..."
According to legend, these four islands once formed a country together, which was called "Longsheng".
It means the source of the birth of hundreds of dragons in the world. It is said that any dynasty that believes in dragons, the dragons they believe in, all originate from this dragon-born dynasty.
But this ancient country had disappeared hundreds of years ago.
Now the four islands have also fallen apart, and the largest island among them also has a new owner - Shanhai City.
For the Yanyang Dynasty far away in the Central Plains, the four islands were collectively referred to as Shanhai City. Although the latter had envoys coming and going to Yanyang over the years, they had no intention of surrendering.
Listening to Qinglan's introduction to the origins of these four overseas islands, the boy in short shirt naturally had some direction.
Lin Manliu said: "Senior Qinglan, what you want is that I can take Yan Linqian to Shanhai City to escape, and then return after everything in Yanyang is over?"
The road we have traveled through Wenjian Lake is quite similar.
Qinglan nodded and responded: "This is the safest move. Just wait until I sort out the customs of the four islands, and then you and the boy can set off as time goes by."
Lin Manliu thought for a moment and subconsciously looked at the old liar.
From the beginning of Mr. Qinglan's introduction, he didn't say a word, let alone expressed any opinions.
Ye Dangting noticed the young man's gaze and urged: "I've heard from Mr. Qinglan, you should hurry up and make preparations!"
"Old liar, if those people take action forcefully, the Villa will not be able to escape, right..."
"Take care of yourself first, I will figure out other things on my own!"
What Lin Manliu said was blocked by Ye Dangting, so he had to get up and go to the side courtyard first.
Behind the boy in the short shirt, Ye Dangting and Qinglan, neither of them had any intention of leaving the table.
The two of them had been watching Lin Manliu close the door of the main hall again, and then looked at each other.
[In this case, can Yijian Villa still be able to withstand it? 】
[If Mr. Qinglan feels that he cannot bear it, he will not continue to sit here! 】
[Then I, a fifty-year-old man, will just wait for the good news...]
[But I can’t rest, I still need to rely on Mr. Qinglan from now on! 】
After this eye contact, the two of them continued to play with the tea in front of them comfortably.
