Chapter 406 The Second Swordsman
After Zijing was defeated and retreated, both Qiu Jian and Liu Jiannan took advantage of the chaos and disappeared. Chen Long's arrangements were clearly seen by the third swordsman Wen Xi who was hiding nearby. With such a major change happening in the First Sword Party, Wen Xi's first reaction was, of course, to rush to report to the sword master.
The place where Wang Yi practices daily is deep in the white clouds and hidden behind cliffs. The location is very secret. The Taoist temple at the top is just a decoration, with a few Taoist nuns cleaning it. When I heard the joy and went outside the sword master's small courtyard, I could only hear the faint sound of the sword. I knew that although the sword master was getting older, he still insisted on practicing the sword every day without striking. He sighed in his heart and stepped up his steps.
The sound of sword practice suddenly stopped, and Wang Yi's crisp voice came out: "Come in." Wen Xi pushed open the courtyard door, and a burst of clouds and mist came in. He couldn't see clearly in the courtyard, but Wang Yi's figure was as slim and beautiful as a girl's. , Wen Xi's heart trembled.
Wang Yi's face was still veiled and he said in a deep voice: "What happened?" Wen Xi quickly explained what happened today in detail, and finally concluded: "The sword master is optimistic about the Zhen family brothers and sisters, and he really has a keen eye for discerning pearls. Zhen Dong's martial arts skills are as good as Zijing's, and her sister is not far behind. However, Zhen Dong's martial arts skills are so strong, yet he stoops to come here, and he doesn't know who his previous master was."
Wang Yi heard Wen Xi's worry. The origins of the Zhen brothers and sisters were indeed unknown, but they drove away a thorn in his heart. If this weakened the imperial court's control over the Nanlin Sword Sect, the sword sect would be The development should be a good thing.
Wang Yi thought about this and his mood improved. He smiled and said to Wen Xi: "Wen Xi, just wait and see what happens. You know that I attach the most importance to moral character when I recruit disciples. If I find that the Zhen family brothers and sisters have any character problems, or I want to punish them, If the Sword Sect is in trouble, record it in time and tell me." These words have already acquiesced to Chen Long's current status and made it clear that he will not get involved for the time being.
"Also, I have a beginner's manual of Yue Nv Sword here. You can give it directly to Zhou Mi and ask her to give it to the Zhen family's little sister to practice in her own name. Now that you have entered my door, you should also give me a greeting gift." Wen Xi took the sword manual and disappeared quietly.
Wang Yi watched Wen Xi disappear in the mist, feeling a little disappointed. After the child was saved by himself, he fell in love with the mother and son. He had a deep attachment to himself. As he grew older, his feelings seemed to surpass those of mother and son, but they were buried deep in Wen Xi's heart. However, he still gave Wang Yi a great deal. psychological pressure.
Wang Yi shook his head and waved away this annoying emotion. Now that the number one sword master of Fang Fang has changed hands, and the power structure of the sword sect has been broken, senior brother Wang Yue should make follow-up moves soon, right? Wang Yi was vaguely worried for Zhen Dong. Should he let Wen Xi remind him? Wang Yi slowly walked back to the hut, hung the sword on the wall, sat down and thought carefully.
At this moment, Chen Long had just arranged for Bao Yue to recuperate from her injuries, and Zhou Mi was accompanying Bao Yue to take care of her. Chen Long asked his disciples to go to rest and walked towards the Biluo Palace alone. After walking across the suspension bridge over the deep ravine and entering the wild forest on the other side, Chen Long suddenly brought his palms to his mouth and let out a series of bird calls.
In a deep canopy, several responses immediately sounded, and then a big head appeared. Chen Long looked up and saw that it was Lu Chang, the leader of the special warfare division. Lu Chang jumped down, performed the Qinglong Army military salute, and asked: "My lord, what are your orders?"
Chen Long knocked on Lu Chang's head and cursed: "How many times have I told you not to call me my lord? What if the walls have ears and you hear me? Why don't you reveal my identity right away?"
Lu Chang quickly changed his words with a smile: "Master, what are your instructions?"
It turns out that Chen Long didn't have any arrangements for such an important task? Before he transformed into a swordsman in green, he had already made an explanation with Lu Chang, instructing him to lead several of the most elite special forces team members and follow the signs along the road. Looking at it now, Lu Chang fulfilled his mission and just cooperated with Chen Long's plan.
Chen Long asked: "How many brothers did you bring this time?"
Lu Changdao: "There are ten of them including me. According to your instructions, we are temporarily scattered in several major areas to conduct reconnaissance and collect intelligence. We can concentrate at any time."
Chen Long nodded and said: "Have there been any changes in the Central Plains these days?" Lu Chang shook his head and said: "On Cao Mengde's side, we have sent people to set up spies, focusing on the area near Dongying where Cao Ren is, to check the news of Tiger and Leopard Cavalry Cao Chun. , there has been no response yet. Gongsun Zan has been looking for his daughter and confronted Qu Yi, but no fight began. Yuan Shao remained dormant, but set up a camp in the northwest of Handan. I wonder if he was preparing to open a road to escape to the northwest grasslands. The fighting between Wang Yun, Wang Yue and Yuan Shu also stopped. Ji Ling and Huangfu Song faced off at Tongguan. For some reason, the two sides suddenly stopped fighting. Puyang and Zhencheng were guarded by Guan Yu, Zhang Yan and others. The people's hearts were initially stable and they were safe and sound."
"Huangfu Song?" Chen Long couldn't help but be surprised when he heard Huangfu Song's name. He didn't know who had reactivated this veteran. It seemed that Wang Yun was still secretly recruiting troops. After the attack in Cangzhou, this was the first time Chen Long heard a relatively systematic situation report. Although it was rough, the situation was changing rapidly, and he had to look for clues first.
Lu Chang asked: "Why did you come to me this time?"
Chen Long temporarily put aside the analysis of the situation and said: "I defeated Zijing today and won the position of Great Sword Master. Several disciples disappeared immediately. I suspect that they are the mastermind behind the scenes and planted inside the Nanlin Sword Sect. One is named Qiu Jian, another named Liu Jiannan, and the great swordsman Zijing, I want you to conduct a secret tracking immediately to see where these people will go to find their master."
Lu Changxin understood and immediately said: "I was watching here, and I did see two swordsmen in green walking past the suspension bridge towards the north road. They were an old man and a young man. They must be the two people mentioned by the master. I immediately arranged to follow him. Even to the ends of the earth, we must chase the master they are loyal to."
Chen Long nodded, suddenly thought of something, and asked: "Didn't you see the great sword master Zijing? He should be alone. This road is the only way!"
Lu Chang shook his head and said, "I have been keeping watch here today, and I only saw two people passing by." Chen Long was surprised, did Zijing not leave?
On the way back just now, several disciples mentioned that Zijing's residence was located deep in the dense forest of Houjin. Chen Long felt strange and naturally wanted to go back and take a look. If Zijing has not returned home, it means that there are other secrets in the valley, perhaps the biggest secret hidden behind Zijing. It seems that this Nanlin Sword Sect is far from being as simple as it seems on the surface.
Lu Changchun saw Chen Long's expression change. Just when he was about to speak, Chen Long suddenly raised his index finger and made a silencing gesture. Lu Chang was startled and listened carefully. Sure enough, a few human voices gradually came from outside the woods, and then the sound of horse hooves came. It seemed that someone was coming.
Chen Long winked at Lu Chang, who understood and quietly hid in the jungle to set up the task of tracking Qiu Jian and Liu Jiannan. Chen Long used his Qinggong skills and walked back to Biluo Palace from the suspension bridge.
Returning to Baoyue, Zhou Mi was still there as expected. Chen Long said: "Senior sister, take a few people to follow me out." Although Zhou Mi was surprised, he didn't ask any more questions. He called a few disciples and followed Chen Long slowly out of Biluo Palace. At a glance, I saw several figures pulling horses across the bridge. The leader was tall and young, with a few black beards on his face, and he looked very mature and steady.
Zhou Mi was stunned for a moment. When he saw Chen Long looking at him, he realized that Chen Long didn't know the person coming, so he hurriedly went up to greet him and said, "It turns out that the Second Swordsman is here. Zhou Mi is a little too far away to welcome me, so please forgive me!"
If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time.
