(A companion volume spanning six and sixty-three chapters.)
Ye San could even recognize the voice of Ling Shan Luan.
This seems to be reasonable and completely unexpected.
With the help of Lingshan Luan's kick, the body of Midnight Watch was really like an arrow that had been leaving the string, flying straight out of the low wall on the west side. He rolled on the spot and was stung by some stones on the ground. He fell down on one knee in the middle of the night and had no time to look at his surroundings. His lower legs exerted force and his whole body formed an extremely tight angle with the ground, like a swallow flying diagonally across the water.
If you look carefully, you will see that the feet in the middle of the night are different from the straight forward and backward movements of ordinary people with their toes on the ground when running. Instead, they move from the inside to the outside like an internal figure. When they bend and stretch, the body sways slightly from side to side, and the soles of the feet pop up. Dust or stones can also tell the extent of this power.
What is more mysterious is the ups and downs of the body. When a martial artist makes a move, whether it is a punch or a kick, the shoulders will be moved accordingly. The reason why some martial arts masters attack later and defeat the enemy first is because of the "fast and unbreakable" motto. At the same time, what is important is the eyesight, the ability to see the fire and see the subtle things, and be able to determine the direction of attack and the number of moves at the same time as the opponent's shoulder moves.
On the other hand, during the third watch of the night, the hands are crossed behind the back, and the legs are bent and stretched as if pushing the upper body forward without moving. The whole body is just a rhythmic bending and stretching of the legs.
Moreover, it is not like other body movements that are either fast or erratic. The movements of the legs in the middle of the night are more like a frog leaping slowly. The breath and steps complement each other. One exhale is on the right foot, and the other is inhale. The left foot is very organized and regular. To outsiders, it looks like the feet are hovering in mid-air off the ground, like a spear thrust diagonally into the ground, which is weird.
In this way, one step takes two steps.
I have to say that Ye Mu's vision for selecting martial arts secrets back then was really unique. For example, this Tang Sect Zhu Feng Bu. It is said that some of those unworldly old monsters in the Tang Sect can really shrink into an inch, and it is not impossible to take a three-foot step. .
In the middle of the night, he had already crossed the small courtyard in a few steps, which he didn't even have time to look at. He jumped over the wall again. He remembered Ling Shan Luan's instructions, "Run west."
In the middle of the night, he felt that Ling Shan Luan would not harm him.
I jumped off the low wall again and took a closer look in the middle of the night. I saw a cobblestone path under my feet, with a gurgling stream beside it. There was a bamboo forest on the northernmost side under the cliff from east to west, covering half an acre. In the yard It is also full of green plants, with winding paths leading among the evergreen pines and cypresses, a faint bamboo pavilion, and a looming suspended bamboo tower. The wooden bridge over the small pond, rockery boulders, winding water, and paths going round and round under your feet vaguely connect the whole courtyard.
Obviously, this small courtyard is built in the Jiangnan garden style. The whole courtyard is quiet, simple, delicate and elegant. It's just that such a small courtyard is crammed with some things. It should have a profound artistic conception, but it makes people feel a bit clumsy.
The vision of this family.
There was another noise outside, and lights were lit in the bamboo building. In the middle of the night, he didn't dare to neglect. He still had the same weird movement skills. He rushed out diagonally. He had already made a plan in his mind. He rose and fell onto the wooden bridge several times. He grabbed the railing and jumped down, stretching his hands and feet in a large shape. Under the bridge.
The courtyard door was slapped hard several times, and then the owner of the courtyard probably waited for the owner to come over and open the door. After Duan Tiexin "bumped it open", there were two sounds of "click" and "bang", and as the latch of the other door broke, the courtyard door was opened. The door was also violently opened.
After all, if you really want to say it, these water thieves who broke in are the real owners of this courtyard.
Zhao Yunchu's voice came from the direction of the bamboo building, "I'm up late at night and have been noisy since just now. What are you doing!"
Duan Tiexin signaled his brothers to search the yard and ordered them to be more careful. After all, the yard had a lot of debris and various trees and green plants, making it easy to hide people.
Duan Tiexin was the first to meet Zhao Yunchu, who was coming over, and crossed the wooden bridge in a hurry. First, he apologized politely and said: "Mr. Zhao, the assassin who appeared at noon showed up again. I will lead the brothers to pursue him. Please forgive me if I have caused any inconvenience."
Zhao Yun said: "Who is so bold? Isn't this because he feels uncomfortable?"
Lingshan Luan's voice also sounded, "Pay attention to the cliff behind the bamboo forest. It's best to hide there when it's dark."
Unlike other people who were searching, Lingshan Luan, who was thick and thin, always focused on his feet, but he used the light from the surrounding torches to carefully erase the traces left by the midnight watch.
Ling Shan Luan stood still on the wooden bridge, more than ten feet away from Duan Tiexin and Zhao Yunchu. It was obvious that he had roughly guessed the traces of the late night watch.
"Mr. Zhao, have you heard any strange noises?" Ling Shanluan asked.
Zhao Yunchu shook his head, "I just fell asleep when I heard the noise outside. I really didn't hear anything strange in the courtyard."
Ling Shan Luan said without showing any trace: "It's time to go to the next courtyard. Mr. Zhao is here. I am afraid that turning on the light will scare the assassin, so how can I dare to hide here?"
Duan Tiexin had no doubt that he was there and cursed angrily: "This bastard is damn faster than a rabbit. When I catch him, I will break his legs!" After cursing, he hurriedly walked out again. . On the contrary, Ling Shan Luan followed behind him in a leisurely and unhurried manner, clasped his fists towards Zhao Yun and said goodbye before leaving.
Zhao Yunchu stood there motionless, watching the group of people leave, and suddenly called out: "Brother Ping." No one responded after calling, so he shouted again. Only then did an eleven or twelve-year-old child run out of the bamboo house, carrying a lantern, his eyes sleepy. It was obvious that the noise just now had disturbed his sweet dream and made him a little unhappy. He didn't know what he was mumbling along the way.
Without waiting for the child to come over, Zhao Yunchu ordered: "You will go down the mountain tonight and ask Mr. Chou to return to Xiapei City to report to his father and send someone over as soon as possible."
"I'm afraid." The kid named Brother Ping said reluctantly, "Didn't you agree to go back tomorrow?"
Zhao Yunchu advised: "It's just such a mountainous road. Just grit your teeth and run quickly to reach the ferry. There are so many people on the boat. What are you afraid of?"
"Young Master, are you in such a hurry?" Brother Ping said with a bitter face, but still refused, "Why don't you let me go this afternoon? I'm really scared of this nonsense."
Zhao Yun got angry and went up to give him a kick, "What do you know? I never expected that there would be such a change. Didn't you hear that there were assassins who took action repeatedly? They probably had the same purpose as ours. They wanted to take advantage of the leaderless situation to stir up trouble. Things are fishy in troubled waters. We can't do ink now. Go and tell the people on the ship to tell them to go home overnight, remember it's overnight."
Ye San could hear the urgency in Zhao Yunchu's tone, but he sounded a little confused.
Originally, in the middle of the night, he planned to come out directly later and have a perfunctory and fake relationship with Zhao Yun. After all, the two of them had a heart-to-heart drink at noon, and Ye San felt that by revealing his identity at this time and making up a reason, he could completely fool Zhao Yunchu.
In this way, Zhao Yunchu's frankness has naturally tied the two of them together. The two of them are now grasshoppers on the same rope. Whether Zhao Yunchu wants to seek help from Ye Sanzhan or is with Ye Sanzhan, Regardless of whether there are more interests involved, in the latter's view, how to use Zhao Yun to create this chess piece is the top priority. Since Zhao Yunchu has given the "handle" to him, in order to gain Zhao Yunchu's trust, he should let him hold some of his "handles".
Just like casting a name certificate, everyone gets what they need.
No matter what, what Zhao Yun said to him at the lunch table was not what his sister called "testing". At midnight, he felt that this person was definitely not as simple as he seemed. To deal with this kind of person, he had to use some tricks. .
It's just that when Zhao Yun said these words, Ye San was even more confused.
Stirring up trouble? Fishing in troubled waters? Like the Zhao family? What is the purpose of the Zhao family?
What does this mean?
The man under the bridge frowned in the middle of the night. It was obvious that for him, this kind of mental thing was really strenuous.
Zhao Yunchu urged again and again, and the eleven or twelve-year-old boy Ping Geer, holding a lantern, walked slowly forward, not forgetting to complain: "You just bully me, you don't know how to go by yourself."
Zhao Yunchu raised his foot and kicked it again, and said angrily: "I only want you to eat and sleep?!"
The child left angrily.
It wasn't until Brother Ping left the door that Zhao Yunchu turned around and returned to the bamboo building.
Hearing Zhao Yun's words that shouldn't be heard by others, Ye San, who felt that he could no longer show up immediately, avoided alerting the enemy and waited for a while before turning around.
After making sure that he had not been discovered, he wandered through the small courtyard at midnight. These pines, cypresses, weeping willows, camphor holly, although they are a bit out of place in this yard, but they really help a lot in the middle of the night.
After just a few steps, there was a faint flicker of light outside the wooden door that could not be closed. In the middle of the night, he hurriedly hid behind a lying stone and watched what happened.
Another person came.
"Uncle Zhao."
The call from the visitor was definitely beyond the expectation at midnight.
It's a good building.
Naturally, it is a fake good building.
Zhenliangsha's situation is such that he absolutely believes that he will not be released in the middle of the night.
But what is he here to do?
Ye Sangen, who originally wanted to go back, couldn't hold back his curiosity and quietly added it.
Carrying a lantern, the fake Liangsha walked straight to the bamboo house. Zhao Yunchu, who had just returned to the house, came out again. Seeing that it was Liangsha, he was a little confused, but he still smiled and said, "Why is Xiaosha here?"
Fake Liangsha said: "Why is the kid in front of Uncle Zhao doing this so late?"
Zhao Yunchu covered it up and said: "You said you are bored with me here and you have to sleep on the boat. Let him go. Children are stubborn and there is nothing I can do about it."
I don't know if Fake Liangsha really believed this statement and did not ask again, but the next question made Zhao Yunchu a little wary.
"Why did Uncle Zhao go to see the Ye family siblings at noon?"
Zhao Yunchu frowned.
"Uncle Zhao, there's no need to think blindly." The light from the lantern only illuminated the fake building, with a smile on his face, "I can see it from the pavilion in the courtyard."
Regardless of whether it was Zhao Yun coming out or the third watch at night, he suddenly realized that the three-story pavilion in the courtyard, standing in the middle of the water village like a flock of chickens, could actually have such a function? !
"Look, the watershed also has a century-old foundation, which is not something that ordinary Xiaoxiao can calculate." The fake Liangsha waved the lantern towards Zhao Yunchu, and said with ridicule, "You think you are conspiring with the Ye family siblings, I won't knew?"
In the middle of the night, I was sweating profusely.
He had to re-examine this mysterious man who had controlled Liangsha for a while. How could he even know what happened to the two of him at noon?
In the middle of the night, I thought of red dates.
Then I thought of my sister again.
If Hong Zao was sent to monitor by this mysterious person, then Ye Xia Yu appears...
In the middle of the night, my heartbeat started to speed up uncontrollably.
Zhao Yunchu pretended to be calm and smiled a little forcedly. He also noticed for the first time that there was something different about this gentleman from a good family who usually idled around and put eating, drinking and having fun first.
Zhao Yun came out: "I was reminiscing with the Ye family siblings, how could we conspire? Yesterday, your sister secretly followed me back to Xia'ei City. I met their siblings on the way and saved Hongyao who almost fell into the water. Your sister didn't follow you. Talking about this? We have met once, so why did it become a conspiracy if I went to talk to them for a while? Xiaoxia, what do you mean? "
The fake Liangsha sneered and said, "How dare you say that you haven't reached some ulterior agreement with the Ye family siblings?"
Zhao Yun was speechless.
No matter what the purpose was, Zhao Yunchu naturally could not tell Liangsha the real situation. In Zhao Yunchu's opinion, this young man who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun all day long is not as good as Liang Chun.
Moreover, in his eyes, Liangsha is really not even a piece of shit.
However, in this situation, Liangsha said these words, causing Zhao Yunchu to fall into a big embarrassment.
He felt that he could no longer see through this young man.
In response to Zhao Yunchu's silence, Fake Liangsha just sneered and said quietly: "I have been watching the flies and dogs in the stockade upstairs. Especially with such a big thing happening today, the appearance of all the living beings in the stockade is really wonderful."
"You may not know that everything you see there is really more exciting than the stories on the stage down the mountain."
"You left the Ye family and went to Liangchun. What are you planning? Do you really want to take the power of the water village into your hands?"
Fake Liangsha continued: "Don't look innocent. If you and the Ye family siblings weren't colluding, why did you hide Ye Sangen?"
At this time, the other two people in the scene were completely confused.
Zhao Yunchu's face was full of confusion, "Xiaoxia, you...what do you mean?"
Fake Liangsha snorted coldly: "I saw it upstairs. The assassin entered your yard and disappeared. And he said it wasn't you who hid him?!"
Ye San let out a sigh of relief. It turned out that it was the blind guess of this fake Liangsha who preconceivedly connected these things he saw, and the lead among them was his self-righteous random thoughts.
Fortunately, it has nothing to do with red dates, Ye San even thought so.
Zhao Yunchu also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that this child was still so stupid.
Zhao Yun said: "The small building has been searched. If I were a Tibetan, where else could I hide? Then again, if the assassin is late at night, if he doesn't run east back to his courtyard, he will run here to me. What? Besides, the late night watch has some skills that can help you catch clues?" Then Zhao Yun came out and patted the fake Liangsha on the shoulder and said with a smile: "It's getting late, go back quickly. Catch the assassin. You don’t have to worry about anything.”
The fake Liangsha remained motionless, as if he did not listen to advice.
"Mr. Zhao, I think we can change our identities and talk."
Fake Liangsha's voice changes and becomes as graceful as the sound of an oriole.
