Chen Weiwei sat in the dark corner. He didn't know how long he had been sitting there. What woke him up was a gust of wind, which made his whole body feel chilly.
That's because there was so much sweat on my body that my clothes were soaked without even realizing it.
The wind blew, and the coolness made him shiver unconsciously.
He glanced behind him again. He couldn't see his master, Priest Li, across several floors of buildings.
But that thought popped up in Chen Weiwei's mind again. Although it was just a few words, it was spinning back and forth in his head.
Master, does he know?
If Priest Si Li didn't know, then Priest Si Li might not come back from his trip to Dongbo.
What if he knew?
Chen Weiwei shook his head vigorously, trying to get the thoughts out of his head, but it made no sense at all.
After a long time, Chen stood up slightly. He took a deep breath, raised his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and pretended to convey the master's order as if nothing had happened.
He summoned everyone and told them not to leave Xiaoque Manor for the next few days.
Returning to the backyard, the priest looked at him and asked softly: "Why did it take so long?"
Chen leaned over slightly and said, "Maybe I ate something bad and my abdominal pain is unbearable."
After the Priest Si Li hummed, he stood up, opened the bag he was carrying, took out a jade bottle and handed it to Chen Weiwei.
"I often do the same thing, so I always take medicine with me when I go out. You will also need to remember better in the future. There will be more things that require you to travel far away to deal with."
Chen Weiwei took it and leaned over to thank him.
After the priest sat down, he said, "What do you think of Ning Shu?"
Chen Weiwei replied: "My disciple feels that this person has some contradictions. He should be a magnanimous person, but he also has deep thoughts. He seems to be a sick and weak body, but he may hide it deeply."
Priest Si Li nodded: "His strength is above mine."
Chen Weiwei thought, it was indeed the case, he seemed to be a frail person riddled with injuries, but he had immeasurable strength.
"this person......"
Priest Priest Li said: "You can't not believe it, but you can't believe it completely. I always feel that he hides too many things from us, so we have to be careful in everything."
Hearing this sentence, Chen Weiwei couldn't help but think that it seemed that the teacher was unaware of it.
He wanted to try to talk to the teacher, but he swallowed the words again.
What if the First Master knew?
He took the initiative to propose it at this time, which was tantamount to reminding the master that he should be eliminated earlier.
Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, the Priest Priest said, "Just tell me what you thought of. I won't blame you."
Chen Weiwei said: "This disciple is just thinking that although Ning Shu has a special status and seems to have a wide range of connections, the strength he has shown now cannot assassinate the King of Dongbo."
Priest Priest Li smiled: "Childish, who told you that we are here to assassinate the King of Dongbo?"
Chen was slightly startled.
I'm thinking, isn't it? If not, then what he had thought before were just random thoughts?
Priest Si Li said: "The King of Dongbo has two consequences. If he is willing to give in, the matter will become easier and the relationship between the two countries will be much gentler."
Chen Weiwei nodded subconsciously, because he had just thought about these things.
Priest Si Li continued: "If he doesn't want to do this, then we have to take action as to how he will die. Naturally, it is up to the Dongbo people to find a solution."
He looked at Chen Weiwei and said, "Do you know why we came?"
Chen Weiwei: "I don't know, disciple." Priest Si Li said: "I told you to think more carefully about everything, but you are always lazy... We come as disciples of Shangyang Palace. This represents our attitude."
He stood up and walked around and said: "If the emperor sends court officials directly, it will be too pressing, there will be no room for relaxation, and it will be hard to tell the truth."
Chen Weiwei answered: "Shangyang Palace can represent the emperor's wishes, but it is not an official of the imperial court, so it is more suitable. If people from Dongbo ask what the people from Shangyang Palace are doing, we only need to say that they are traveling around the mountains and rivers. Because we are already at Tianshui Cliff in Yunzhou, which is adjacent to Dongbo."
Priest Si Li nodded: "That's true."
Chen Weiwei thought to herself, could it be that she had really guessed wrong? Emperor Yu has no plans to send troops to Dongbo?
At this time, Priest Li said calmly: "If my guess is correct, even Ning Shu is just an errand boy."
He walked to the window, looked outside and said softly: "There must be someone important enough in Dongbo who has been authorized by the emperor."
He said: "This person is bound to be very important. No matter what he says, the people of Dongbo will not question it."
Chen Weiwei was shocked and asked tentatively: "Mr. Ju?"
Priest Si Li did not answer, but this lack of answer was confirmation of Chen Weiwei's guess.
In Dongbo country, apart from Mr. Ju, the super strong man in the God-endowed realm, who else has the weight to meet the requirements of Emperor Jade?
The people of Dongbo will naturally not question Mr. Ju's words.
So if Mr. Ju really stands on Dayu's side and Yuyu Chengchang's side, then there may really be no need to use troops.
As soon as she thought about this, Chen Weiwei felt that what she had thought before was really judging the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.
The master treated him so well. If he wanted to harm him, why wait until now? He could have just slapped him to death in the Yamen of Yunzhou City.
Thinking of this, Chen Weiwei felt a little guilty.
"take a break."
Priest Si Li said: "You haven't had a good rest during this journey. Take advantage of these few days to recharge your batteries here."
Chen leaned slightly and responded, then bowed and walked out.
When she got to the yard, Chen Weiwei breathed heavily a few more times and told herself not to think too much.
Early the next morning, Jinyi Hou Ningshu left Xiaoque Manor by car. Before leaving, he told Chen Weiwei and the others that he would definitely be back in as soon as two days or as late as four or five days.
Chen Weiwei didn't have much to do, so he found a quiet place to practice.
After sitting cross-legged, he prepared to use Shangyang Palace's mental method, breathing and exhalation. Originally, as long as he sat down, he would be able to enter concentration in a moment.
But today, after he sat down, his mind could not calm down.
He recalled the previous teacher's teachings, saying that the most terrifying thing about people is that once there is doubt in the heart, it is impossible to put aside the doubt easily.
It's like a weed that cannot be eradicated, taking root in your heart. You feel like you have pulled out the roots of the grass. But not long after, as soon as you think of it, the grass will take root again. If you think of it once, the roots will become deeper.
He also didn't expect that his random thoughts yesterday would actually disturb his practice.
But he didn't dare to be seen that he was in an unstable state of mind, so he stayed in the backyard all day long, making people think that he was concentrating on practicing.
After nightfall, Chen Weiwei ate something. Priest Li told him that although practice was important, he should not be too persistent, otherwise it would hurt his body.
Outside the main entrance of Xiaoque Manor is the east-west main street of Caoshu City. This street is called Shangshui Street.
Dongbo has followed the Central Plains culture since the founding of the country, so many customs are not much different from those of Dayu.
For example, the naming method of this street is the same as that of Dayu, with streets from east to west and roads from north to south. There are many shops on Shangshui Street, most of which are brothels. It is much more lively at night than during the day.
It is no exaggeration to say that the streets are busy with traffic. People are coming and going in search of fun, and most of them are not Dongbo locals.
The most unique thing about Shangshui Street is that there are rivers on both sides of the street. To get to the shops on both sides from the main street, you need to walk over a stone bridge.
These stone bridges are all arch bridges, making it easy for cruise ships to pass by.
At night, boats from various brothels will shuttle back and forth on the river to attract customers, and the scene is extremely lively.
On these small boats, in addition to the strong men rocking the boats, there are often two or three gorgeous girls sitting on them.
A red lantern is hung on the boat, and the name of the brothel is written on the lantern. There are also some small colorful flags hanging on the boat, which also have the name of the brothel.
When these girls sit there, there is no need to deliberately recruit them, they just show their most beautiful side.
Two or three people were sitting on the boat talking quietly, and from time to time there would be laughter like silver bells.
A small boat crossed the arch bridge, and the girls who were sitting on the boat subconsciously lowered their heads, as if they were afraid of hitting their foreheads or ruining their carefully dressed hair styles.
After the boat passed the arch bridge, it arrived outside the gate of Xiaoque Manor. The girls looked at Xiaoque Manor with a bit of yearning in their eyes.
Who in Caoshu City doesn't know that Xiaoque Manor belongs to Marquis Jinyi? Which of these girls wouldn't want to be Marquis Jinyi's woman?
If you marry a noble man, you will have no worries in your life.
The boat kept passing by at a constant speed and did not stop, because there were other brothel boats following behind.
Half a moment later.
A Shangyang Palace disciple hurried to the backyard, found Priest Si Li, and whispered a few words in Priest Si Li's ear.
Priest Priest Li frowned slightly, looked at Chen Weiwei and said, "Go and ask for the Zhaoyue Sword."
These words made Chen Weiwei's heart tense instantly. Just after Jin Yihou left, someone came to the door. This incident would inevitably make people feel that it was too coincidental.
And the master directly asked him to go and ask for the Zhaoyue Sword, which showed that tonight would not be an easy situation to deal with.
Zhaoyue Sword, the most precious treasure of Tianshui Cliff.
There is a treasure in every branch of Shangyang Palace in Dayu. The treasure in Tianshuiya is the Zhaoyue Sword.
These treasures of the town are not precious because they all have the level of red grade, but because these magic tools have rune formations carved by the master himself.
What is an artifact?
The red product may not be a divine weapon, but a flying weapon that has been personally taught by the real master must have the effect of a divine weapon.
Just when Chen Weiwei took the Zhaoyue Sword, the door of the living room opened by himself, but it was not opened by an outsider, but by Priest Si Li with a wave of his sleeve.
So in the yard, several charming-looking women with delicate makeup suddenly appeared, and all of them stopped.
At this time, the disciples of Tianshuiya were also ready for defense.
The leading woman seemed a little surprised when she saw this scene.
She probably didn't expect that these Jianghu visitors from Dayu were so wary.
Little did she know that just when they were crossing the arch bridge in a boat, the Shangyang Palace disciples on duty would see the flaw.
If the local girls passed under the arch bridge for a long time, they would subconsciously lower their heads to avoid it like them.
Priest Si Li stretched out his hand, and the Zhaoyue Sword flew into his palm.
Holding Zhao Yue in his right hand, with the palm of his left hand facing upward, a bright little sword also flashed out, shining brightly.
"Since we are on guard, we should be more direct."
The leading woman pointed forward.
"J."
