The cold light shines on the white snow, and the sky and the earth are bright. In the twenty-seventh year of the lunar month, they killed each other and used ink to draw their eyebrows. The moon is waning, starless, unknown, and there are dark clouds in the west, expressing my condolences.
At four o'clock in Xu hour, in the southeast of the inner city, the rural road went north. There were crop fields and farmhouses on both sides of the road. Two horses were galloping past, and dogs were barking in the shadow.
"Dong dong dong dong dong", two men in black stood at the side door of the courtyard, looking around to make sure there was no one around. One went to tie the horse's reins, and the other stepped forward and knocked on the door. The knocks were soft and heavy. Light triple. A childish voice came from inside, "There is no alcohol here!" The man in black outside the door replied, "A three equals a six!"
"Squeak-", the door opened gently, and inside was a sturdy man with black beard and white hair in Tsing Yi. I saw this man's eyes were piercing, as if there was substance, and his temples were deeply sunken, showing that he was a master of the family. His hair was as white as snow, and his beard was as black as lacquer, but he said in a childish voice, "Mr. Ping?"
"Extraordinary", a man outside the door replied.
"Mediocre," another man replied.
The man in green clothes inside the door leaned slightly to the right, and the two people outside the door quickly stepped in.
The man in green closed the door, and unexpectedly stretched out his palm to hit the man in black named Erping who was walking forward. When the two heard the wind of the palm, they quickly turned around and took the palm. There were two muffled sounds of "bang" and "bang", and in an instant The man in green had already exchanged palms with the two of them. The man in green retracted his palm, looked at the two of them, and praised, "What a profound light smoke palm!"
Previously, the opponent had discovered that the opponent was not hostile, so Ping Bufan clasped his hands and replied, "That's ridiculous. Your Excellency, the Northern Sect's demon-suppressing palm is as pure as fire. I admire you very much!" When I palm-to-pawed with the man in green before, I could only feel that the opponent's palm was The force is both hard and soft, and the palm strength is extremely strong. It stands to reason that with this person's cultivation level, there is no way that there will be such a big wind when the palm is released. Therefore, Shicai's palm wind was intentional to remind the two of them to take the move. .
"Go straight, turn right in front of the corridor and enter the small house at the end. Don't knock on the door." After the man in green said to the two of them, he immediately flew to sit on the stone bench in the pavilion in the courtyard and did not look at the two of them again.
Ping Bufan and Ping Buyong looked at each other and walked forward as told.
"Drive the Yin and Yang", there is a plaque hanging on the eaves of the small house with four characters written in a random font, as if the pen has no edge, which is quite inconsistent with these four characters.
Ping Bufan remembered what the man in Tsing Yi said and pushed the door open without knocking. I saw an old woman sitting in the middle of the room. After the two came in, the old woman got up and walked to the window sill on the right. There was an exquisite copper plate under the window sill. I saw the old woman pressing and pulling on the copper plate, and something like a lotus platform rose from it. The old woman took out a few copper beans from nowhere, and inserted the copper ingots into the same-shaped holes on the lotus platform. The floor tiles under the copper plate sank. , a secret passage slowly appeared.
After the secret passage appeared, the old woman sat back on her seat, saying nothing and not even looking at the two of them.
The two Pings were such figures, they didn't take it seriously and walked straight into the secret passage. Although the secret passage was long, there were no branches. The two of them were very fast and reached the end in just a few breaths. I saw a screen in front, an oil lamp behind the screen, and a vague figure.
The two stood about a foot away from the screen, bowed and said in unison, "See you, Master!"
A voice came from inside, "I have asked you to come here for five things. You must do them well!"
"I will never give up even if I die," they replied.
"Kuang Fengyi, the Chief Secretary of Anxian County, is not one of ours. This person can no longer stay in this position. We must depose him. Don't kill him."
"I understand." Ping Bufan responded.
"Does the Southern Gang have a branch in Anxian?" the person behind the screen asked.
"No"
"The Southern Gang is going to set up a branch in Anxian. The strength cannot be weaker than the main hall. When preparing to build a bodyguard bureau, the transportation capacity must be strong. Go to He Zan in person and tell him that this matter is unusual and must be done well. After arriving in Anxian, we will Someone help him.”
"yes!"
"The new Anxian Salt Transportation Secretary Mei Siyuan will take office soon. There are two people accompanying him, an old man Duan Zeqing, and a Taoist priest to stay. Get rid of these two people as soon as possible after arriving in Anxian! Remember, leave some clues for Mei Siyuan. "
"Yes! I understand." Regarding this person's order, Ping Bufan never asked why, he only tried his best to do it. This is also the reason why he and the two of them can be reused. Although I don't know why I deliberately left traces behind when killing these two people, I have my fate and I just follow it.
"Take this opportunity to test the strength of the guards around Mei Siyuan. Pay special attention to an old man named 'Yun Yuan'."
"yes!"
"Remember, don't cause conflicts and don't expose your traces!"
"Subordinate, remember!"
"How many groups of people are there in the capital?"
"Four groups, Bing, Kun, Ren and Zi."
"Arrange the Kun group to enter Anxian in three groups. Twenty people will set out with Mei Siyuan tomorrow to protect him secretly. There are experts accompanying him. Don't get too close or too far away. If Mei Siyuan does not arrive safely, they will There is no need to come back! The remaining two batches will depart ten days apart."
"Yes!" Although Ping Bufan answered simply, his heart tightened. He knew that "there is no need to come back", that is, "no need to come back alive."
"The movements of the other two companies no longer need to be closely monitored. All peripheral chess pieces have been withdrawn and await instructions. The weather has been updated. The battle for the reserve is not in the capital but in Anxian!" The person behind the screen said slowly, with a clear sense of confidence in his tone.
"I accept your orders!" Ping Bufan replied in a clanging voice. Thinking of what he had planned with the prince, a warm current flowed through his heart.
"You two brothers have always done things neatly. I remember that everything here is of no concern. I am waiting for good news in the capital! You go down!"
Seeing the person behind the screen, the Taira brothers bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty! I will leave." After saying that, they slowly backed away.
Outside the courtyard, the two people got on their horses and walked northwest, their figures gradually disappearing into the vast world.
In the secret passage, in front of the screen, a man in green clothes was sitting on his knees, reporting to the back of the screen, "Master, the Taira brothers have gone far."
"I got it. Ah Tong, let's go back too!" After saying that, he walked out from behind the screen, and it turned out to be the person who had just spoken to Mei Siyuan.
In the bright night sky, a dark cloud drifted slowly from east to west.
