When trouble breaks out in the city, sleepless nights naturally follow.
In a drainage channel near the inner city of Dongdu, by coincidence, three people were sitting squatting at this moment.
If Lin Manliu were here, he would be surprised to find...
This place is not only one of the places where Yanbie guessed that there might be a hidden grid.
He had even seen the three people squatting on both sides of the rock wall in the river, and had contact with them.
The young man dressed in black and red clothes is naturally Meng Xiuyan, who is known as "Lord Han Po".
The other two were the women who fought with Lin Manliu on the second floor of King Kong.
Meng Xiuyan was the first to speak: "Did the two sisters fight against Lin Manliu in that Vajra just now?"
The woman who used the sword in the previous fight said in response: "There is some theory that he almost succeeded in a sneak attack..."
When Meng Xiuyan heard this reply, her mouth grew a little wide at first, but then it closed immediately.
He hurriedly said: "Sister Mu, there is no need to be modest. Lin Manliu is better than ordinary people, but there is still some gap between him and Sister Mu!"
The woman he called "Sister Mu" raised her eyes and glanced at Meng Xiuyan, who immediately trembled.
Meng Xiuyan immediately waved her hands and shouted: "Uh... turn it over... turn it over! While the moonlight is just right, let's talk about something light and cheerful!"
He didn't want to make the "Sister Mu" in front of him unhappy again after losing the duel. It would be uncomfortable if he used Meng Xiuyan to sharpen his sword!
The "Sister Mu" mentioned by Meng Xiuyan, whose real name was Mu An, Lin Manliu guessed correctly, was the "Jun's Heart" of the eighth general Que Xie.
The Miao village woman beside him is Ranlan, the seventh "secret cicada" of the eight generals of Quexie.
Mu Anyan said: "Chengzhu summoned us here just to let you have a heart-to-heart talk with us, right?"
Meng Xiuyan said loudly: "What's the matter! We're just waiting for the fish to bite the hook, but we're doing business!"
Ranlan who was standing by said: "Then Chengzhu should also understand that after the previous intrusion, they will not act rashly again tonight. What is the meaning of gathering here?"
Meng Xiuyan responded: "Then... Chengzhu must be for... two sisters, you see, it's impossible that we haven't seen each other for a long time, and we have become familiar with each other?"
Mu An said: "Well, Chengzhu must have his arrangements. Not to mention the three of us, other people have also started to move. It's good to have a cool breeze here!"
Ranlan sighed, as if she had completely accepted this fact, and held her own bamboo flute tighter with both hands.
Meng Xiuyan suddenly remembered something and spoke to the two of them: "I forgot to ask before, why did Sister Mu and Sister Ran come back so quickly?"
Ran Lan rolled her eyes and said: "What can we do... we just got stopped! After the two of us followed the gang leader back from southern Xinjiang, we rushed towards Guanhe without stopping. We thought that we would be in trouble after we got out of seclusion. result..."
Mu An originally wanted to dissuade Ran Lan, but seeing that there was nothing else in the empty drainage channel but the three of them, she let Ran Lan do what she wanted.
Later, during Ranlan's narration, Meng Xiuyan finally learned about the two people's non-stop traveling north and south during these days.
Just after Mu An and Ran Lan welcomed Yun Yichen back, they received a message from Yan Yeyi, asking them to go north and leave the seclusion, in order to test the tone of the Lord of the Three Burning Bone Mountains.
As a result, both of them were not close to Chiyang Pass, and just when they were about to leave the Guanhe boundary, they were blocked by a group of people.
The leader of the general registered his own number, that is, Dy Ruoxu, the deputy general of the Xuantian Army in Mobei.
Hearing this name, the soldiers of the Xuantian Army behind him did not need to be introduced by him.
Both Mu An and Ran Lan knew in their hearts that they were the personal soldiers of Hanchuan King Xie Qian, the most powerful Long Yinqi among the Mobei Xuantian Army.
With these people blocking the way, King Hanchuan's attitude towards Mu An and Ran Lan's departure from the north has become obvious.
no way!
The two people who had been rejected would naturally not rush into Chiyang Pass head-on. After all, King Hanchuan could catch the two of them in the pass, and it would be even easier for them to catch them after they arrive in Mobei!
After listening to the two people's experiences of going north, Meng Xiuyan was thoughtful and had some doubts in her heart.
He opened his mouth and said: "Xie Qian has been undecided for a long time. Now that Tuxuehou and both armies here have made moves, he has yet to move... What is this person planning?"
At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared from the inside of the drainage channel, accompanied by a word of explanation.
"There is no need to think too complicated about Xie Qian. What he wants in his heart is probably someone who can protect the stability of the country and the safety of his family and country..."
Meng Xiuyan, Mu An and Ran Lan looked around at almost the same time, and the man who gradually revealed his true appearance from the shadows walked completely in front of them.
The one who came was the second "Green Bamboo" of the eight evil spirits - Ye Chengzhu.
Ranlan said in surprise: "Chengzhu, why are you here at this time?"
Ye Chengzhu said: "Of course I haven't seen you for a long time, so I want to walk around with you more!"
As soon as these words came out, well... Ye Chengzhu was already in the river when they first spoke. As a result, no one among the three men, Meng Xiuyan, noticed it at all.
Mu An asked in doubt: "Then if Xie Qian is really for peace in the world, why is there no movement now?"
Ye Chengzhu replied loudly: "No matter how chaotic the customs are, it's just because the children at home are in trouble. What he wants to guard is outside the customs..."
Meng Xiuyan immediately answered and said: "So he is afraid that we will encourage the three mountain leaders to enter the pass and cause the chaos in the Central Plains to get out of control?"
Ye Chengzhu was silent for a moment, and after a while he said: "That's probably true... After all, with Xie Qian stationed outside the pass for a day, the Mobei area can be quiet for a day... Those bandit leaders, compared to Yanyang The dynasty is actually more afraid of the Xuantian Army in his hands."
Mu An spoke again: "To stop a bandit leader who has just gained momentum with the full strength of the Xuantian Army, it would be overkill..."
Ye Chengzhu shook his head and said aloud: "How can you say that you are overqualifying your talents... Since he can find ways to let people find you two, and use this to warn Xie Xie not to come out and contact Burning Bone Mountain, he should be more prepared than you and me. think..."
Meng Xiuyan raised her hand to scratch her chin and said, "Could it be that Xie Qian had the same idea as Xiao Baoli, and had the same idea in his heart to replace the current Xia family?"
After all, the Central Plains was in such chaos, Xie Qian still had to hold Mobei still...
Let's call him loyal first. He, Xie Qian, did not rebel like the Liaoyuan Army, the Northern Yan King's subordinates, or the soldiers from Nandi and Hebei.
You might as well say that he is disloyal. He Xie Qian treats the chaos in the Central Plains as nothing, and even sends people to block the way to stop the evildoers.
Although Mu An and Ran Lan went north because of the cooperation between Yan Yeyi and Yijian Villa, in the eyes of outsiders, Quexie went north to contact Burning Bone Mountain in order to give Xijing more help to pacify the situation. Rebellion everywhere.
When the result came to the hands of King Hanchuan, he directly let them go home without giving them a chance to try.
Hearing this casual nonsense from the young man, Ye Chengzhu shook his head helplessly.
He opened his mouth and reminded: "In the future, in front of the gang leader, you should say less such whimsical words, so as not to be punished later..."
Meng Xiuyan quickly covered her mouth and nose and murmured: "I know...I know..."
After Ye Chengzhu briefly explained some matters to the three of them, he began to walk towards the outside of the drainage channel.
He told Meng Xiuyan and the others that they needed to go to other places to get acquainted with other brothers.
By the time Ye Chengzhu was walking on the streets of Dongdu, the moonlight in the sky was about to fade...
He turned his head and looked to the north. After crossing the grassland and passing the Xiongguan Pass, he saw the end of the Yanyang Dynasty's northern land.
And in the border area of the Mobei land, it is where the Three Burning Bone Mountains are located.
In his opinion, what Xie Qian, King of Hanchuan, wanted to stop was never the two people, Mu An and Ran Lan, who were Que Xie, nor was it the current Yu Niu Huaji.
...
At the same time, the place Ye Chengzhu was thinking about was the Burning Bone Mountains thousands of miles north of Dongdu. There were also people who were sleepless under the moon.
Since the past few months, these mountains where bandits gathered have begun to see some earth-shaking changes.
The power under the common master of the three mountains - Yu Niuhua and his subordinates, originally rotated among several top positions, and the relationship of mutual checks and balances was broken by a scholar who had just entered the mountain not long ago.
At first, no one of these second- and third-in-commands thought that they would be forcibly overthrown by a powerless scholar, and that their eldest brother, Yu Niu Huaji, trusted them very much. That scholar.
Just tonight, there was a man who got drunk and prepared to have a rough and tumble affair with the scholar Lang Haosheng.
As a result, before the man could get within five steps of him, he was killed on the spot by the guards at Scholar Lang's side.
This time, they had sobered up from the alcohol they had been drinking for several months. The Burning Bone Mountains had changed... They were no longer as powerful as they had been in the past!
As for the reaction of his subordinates, Yu Niu Huaji, as the co-master of the three mountains, was very satisfied.
He raised the wine cup in his hand and raised it towards the scholar not far away.
Yu Niu Huaji said aloud: "Fanqing! With your arrangements for these days, it makes me feel a lot more comfortable!"
Liu Fanqing then raised the wine cup and saluted in the direction of Yu Niu Hua.
"When the mountain grows stronger, it will naturally become difficult to control. Only by inflicting small punishments and the coexistence of friendship and kindness can we win over people's hearts..."
Yu Niu Huaji laughed loudly: "Okay! From now on, just let go and do whatever you want, and deal with anyone who stands in your way!"
Liu Fanqing said in a joking tone: "If the people blocking the way are the Mountain Lord's siblings, can we still let Fanqing deal with them as he pleases?"
Yu Niu Huaji paused, then a flush appeared on his face, as if he was drunk.
He shouted loudly: "They have blocked my way, so they can still be considered brothers!"
Liu Fanqing responded and said: "Fanqing understands! Everything in the future will definitely not trouble the Mountain Master anymore!"
