Two flowers bloom, one on each side. Let's not mention how Jiang Wenbing wanted to find out the identity of this uninvited guest. Let's say that the man in black climbed up the eaves and walls and used Qinggong to sneak out of the Hussars General's Mansion. He found a remote place, took off his night clothes, and lit a fire. He took it off, hid the double swords at his waist, and transformed into a green-clothed ranger of about thirty years old with a rather bohemian demeanor.
Baiyujing is extremely prosperous, and there is no curfew under the emperor's feet. There were still brothels and restaurants open in the streets around the city. The Tsing Yi Ranger walked around and came to a more elegant restaurant.
Under the guidance of the waiter, the Tsing Yi Ranger came to the second floor of the restaurant. At this time, the second floor was relatively deserted. There was only one person sitting with his legs crossed at the innermost table. There were some side dishes and two bottles of wine on the table.
"Brother Yan." The old man with his legs crossed turned out to be He Nan. He Nan called out when he saw the Tsing Yi Ranger.
The Green Ranger had a dark face and said unceremoniously: "You almost killed me, kid."
He Nan's observation skills are very keen. When he first saw the Tsing Yi Ranger, he could see that his steps were a bit unsteady, as if his energy and blood were not flowing smoothly. He heard complaints at this time, so he naturally understood what was going on. But he knew that the Tsing Yi Ranger's methods were very unbeatable, and he was a little surprised: "Brother Yan, you...can't you do anything to him?"
The Tsing Yi Ranger didn't say anything, but stretched out his right hand and pointed out of the air. The wine bowl in front of He Nan exploded, and the wine in the bowl suddenly erupted like a spring. The wine mixed with fragments and splashed all over the two of them. He Nan knew that the Tsing Yi Ranger did not come here just to amuse him, so he blurted out: "Zhen Qi?"
The Tsing Yi Ranger is also a person with the ability to control the true energy. When He Nan saw this, he knew that Jiang Wenbing and Tsing Yi Ranger were the same kind of people. But seeing the look on Qingyi Ranger's face, I was afraid that Jiang Wenbing's Zhenqi attainments were not as good as those of Qingyi Ranger.
The Tsing Yi Ranger let out a long sigh, raised the wine bowl in his hand to drink, and said with a somewhat gloomy expression: "There are talented people in our country... He and I are at the age of four or six at this time. If I have the intention to kill him, I will not hesitate to do so." Risking your life to die with him may not necessarily fail. But with his talent, if ten more years pass...he probably won't even take me seriously."
Every time the Tsing Yi Ranger said something, He Nan's pupils dilated because it was so unbelievable.
Who is the Tsing Yi Ranger in front of me? He is one of the four "hidden arrows" set by Li Zhanchun.
The water gate of Shanhe Mansion is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and strange people gather together. He has always been fair, selfless and aboveboard in his actions and is known to everyone. But it’s not enough to just show up and do big things, you also need to have people who do the dirty work. So, after the four masters and the four "clear guns" in Shanhe Mansion, four "hidden arrows" came into being.
The four open spears are famous all over the world. They are the four commanders of Minato and enjoy official salaries, while the four hidden arrows do not receive such treatment and just hide silently in the shadows. These four hidden arrows are not comparable to the four open spears, but each of them is Li Zhanchun's dead soldier. As long as Li Yushi speaks, swords, mountains and seas of fire will be thrown at him, no matter the danger. It is not so much the four hidden arrows from Shanhe Mansion as it is the four hidden arrows from Li Zhanchun alone. Li Zhanchun's theory is that "nothing matters more than quality", especially for these assassins who secretly perform tasks, ability is second and loyalty is first. If any of these people have other intentions or make a mistake, it will be the biggest disaster for him. .
Although there are some rumors about hidden arrows, most of them are groundless and nonsense. Even most of the disciples of Shanhe Mansion don't know whether these four hidden arrows are true or false, and what their names are. He Nan only met this one of them by chance and had a close personal relationship.
The green-clothed ranger in front of He Nan, the "Brother Yan" in his mouth, has a full name of Yan Chunlai.
"He... is only in his early twenties, nearly ten years younger than you. How can he be above you?" He Nan looked at Yan Chunlai with his eyes wide open, still a little unbelievable in his heart. The master has always been cautious and prudent, and the hidden arrows are of course selected from the best. All four hidden arrows are the best, but for such a genius to be able to predict that Jiang Wenbing will be far better than him in less than ten years, it is really an inestimable talent. But from this point of view, he had overestimated Jiang Wenbing's hostility towards him. He had such ability. If he really wanted to kill him, how could Qi Dan easily stop him? Thinking about it, it was just a show for myself to make a fool of myself.
Of course He Nan was right to think so. He did overestimate Jiang Wenbing's hostility towards him, and underestimated the power of Jiang Wenbing, the eldest son of General Hussar, but he also underestimated... Qi Dan's strength.
"There are people outside the world, and there is a world outside the sky... This is especially true for the competition between warriors. Although I am the second in age among the four hidden arrows, my talent may be the lowest. But even so, I will be able to compete with this tiger in ten years. Perhaps the only one who is superior is Xiaosi?" Yan Chunlai's knot in his mind was resolved as quickly as it arose. Victory and defeat are common. As long as he doesn't die, he will have a chance to improve again. Although he feels hopeless, he has some expectations for the "Little Four" he calls.
Among the four hidden arrows, the other three are stubborn people. Only Yan Chunlai has an indifferent and easy-going personality. Although he has lived in darkness for a long time, he is as carefree and carefree as the returning Yan and the spring breeze, and has no fight with the world. He rated himself as having the lowest level of martial arts talent, which may have been hindered by his personality.
He Nan knew almost nothing about the other three "hidden arrows", and Yan Chunlai was also tight-lipped about it. But at this time, he heard that the "little four" might be comparable to Jiang Wenbing, so he took up the idea of the little four mentioned by Yan Chunlai. .
"You're thinking of Xiaosi, right?" Yan Chun saw that He Nan was a little distracted, so he revealed his wishful thinking.
"Why not?" He Nan was worried about being exposed, but he didn't feel embarrassed. He was thinking about how to get information about his brother from Yan Chunlai.
Yan Chunlai looked at He Nan carefully for a while, shook his head and said: "Your personality is already weird enough, and he is much weirder than you. You and I have a good relationship, and I don't want to harm you - you met Xiao Si , I’m afraid he’s going to die.”
He Nan couldn't bear to hear others say that about him. In his heart, even if it was weirder, meaner, or wretched, he didn't think anyone could beat him. He said unconvinced: "I didn't do anything wrong with him. He Why should you kill me?"
Yan Chunlai said sternly: "In Xiaosi's eyes, anyone who wants to spy on his identity will die. Except for the censor and the other three hidden arrows, no one knows his true identity. If you really go to find him, Even if you die in his hands, Master Yushi will not say anything."
When He Nan heard Yan Chunlai's words, his mind changed, and he hesitated and said to Yan Chunlai: "Do you know why my master recruited you this time? One is to find out the background of Jiang Wenbing, and the other is to protect me. I I pretended to join the Fifth Prince's faction and revealed a lot of my master's plans to him in order to invite you into the trap. But what if he saw through this situation and asked Jiang Wenbing to kill me and ruined my master's plan? I originally thought You alone are enough, but now it seems that at least one more person needs to come back. Although my personal life is insignificant, it is an important part of Master's grand plan... so I have to find him."
He Nan's performance was very realistic, almost making him cry, and he spoke heart-to-heart. On the one hand, Xiaozhi was motivated by the friendship between the two, and on the other hand, he was motivated by his great cause, which made Yan Chunlai hesitate. The two argued for a while, but Yan Chunlai finally wavered and said: "This matter is of great importance and I have no right to make a decision. I must report it to the Royal Censor first. Regarding Xiaosi, I will only give you some tips. If you can find him, that's best. If you don't, don't look for him."
After saying this, he stretched out a finger, dipped it in some wine, and wrote six words lightly on the table.
Yue Yue, painted boat, red rain.
Before dawn the next day, He Nan rode out of Baiyujing from the south gate and headed straight for Yueyue City.
Yueyue City is some distance away from Bai Yujing, about three days' journey. Everyone says that Baiyujing is prosperous, but Yueyue City is even more prosperous. Yueyue City is adjacent to the "Yueyong River", the largest river in the Sheng Kingdom. It has developed shipping and is also a hub in the central part of the Sheng Kingdom. There are three stunning views in the city, which are famous all over the world.
The word "Hua Fang" written by Yan Chunlai to He Nan is located in one of the three most beautiful scenery, which is called "Yunmeng Fairy Painting". The word Yunmeng refers to Yunmeng Lake, a famous lake in the Sheng Kingdom of Yueyue City. There is a painting boat on Yunmeng Lake. It is a great pleasure for the nobles to take a boat ride on the lake and view the scenery. Countless talents and beauties often come here to enjoy the lake and sing their songs. Poetry, carefree and happy.
The first two hints Yan Chunlai gave him were traceable, but the last word "red rain" was unclear. How could there be red rain in the sky? Or maybe it has something to do with the poem that Master recited?
When He Nan was tidying up his master's study, he once saw a copybook hanging on the wall, which read: "The red rain on the eaves says that summer is gone, and the swallows in front of the hall are carrying spring. The thunder sound of the temple is slowly locked, and the green wind blows the gate of hell open."
Yanchun is coming! Yan Chunlai's name corresponds to the second sentence "Yan Chunlai returns to the hall"! Then the Hongyu he was talking about was Xiaosi’s name!
As soon as he entered Yueyue City, He Nan smelled the fragrance of flowers in the air. The Yunzhong Embankment of Yunmeng Lake is also famous. Hundreds of flowers bloom on the embankment, just like the colorful clouds on the horizon. Whether it is spring or autumn, there are different scenes of flowers blooming. He Nan led the horse along the crowd, and soon he saw the lake in the distance.
In these three days, He Nan worked almost non-stop. He had never been interested in lingering on the scenery, so when he went to Yueyue City, he only wanted to find the mistress. But at this moment, when he saw the Yunmeng Lake scene, he couldn't help but admire in his heart that this heaven and earth had its own magical work of creation, and it was well-deserved.
At this moment, the sky is getting late, the sun is setting over the water, and the first moon is in the sky. The surface of the lake was sparkling with golden light, and the brilliance was in full bloom, as if the sun and the moon were shining in it. The anxiety in He Nan's heart slowly faded away at this time, and he just stood on the shore and stared at the sunset, as if he had completely forgotten the worldly world.
A beautiful figure in red quietly passed by him, and boarded the boat step by step. He Nan came to his senses at this moment, looked at the slim figure of the girl in red, and hurriedly asked the boatman of the boat: "Brother boatman, may I ask about that girl..."
The rugged boatman smiled and said: "That girl seems to be a painter and often comes to Yunmeng Lake to collect pictures. I have been on this painting boat for many days and I often see her painting here."
This girl in red is always here. Could it be that she is the "Hong Yu" that Brother Yan calls her? That Xiaosi, who has a weird temper and never sees the end of a dragon, is actually a woman?
He Nan was not good at martial arts, but he had practiced Qing Gong - he had been friends with too many people, and he was afraid that one day he would be killed by others. In order to protect his life, he would often discuss the method of Qing Gong with Minato's senior brothers. He has quite a bit of knowledge about this. Seeing the girl in red standing on the bow of the boat, and the boat had already left the shore, he couldn't allow himself to think too much, so he jumped up and flew straight to the top of the pavilion of the boat, and asked loudly: "Is this the girl Hongyu on the boat?"
At this time, He Nan used his own strength to control the wind, turned around a hundred times, and landed steadily on the red roof of the painted boat, looking down at the girl in red.
The girl in red standing on the bow of the boat suddenly turned her head when she heard someone calling her, and her eyes touched the red roof of the painted boat.
He Nan... I have never seen such a woman.
The girl in red has eyebrows like jade plates inlaid with willow leaves, and her eyes are like white jade with peach blossoms. When she smiles, her figure sways, like the moonlight in the clouds, clear and bright. The clothes fluttered as they turned around, shining brightly like flowers and fire in the sky. This girl seemed to be surrounded by purple air, and she was as out of reach as the smoke of incense.
The girl in red comes here every day to look for scenes and copy them, but she doesn't want to be here today and be in the painting.
The girl in red who was looking for people looked back happily, stepping on the pale moon in the lake under her feet; the young man in black robe who was looking for someone fell from the sky, carrying the rays of the setting sun on his back.
Such a moment actually formed a wonderful picture. At this moment, there seemed to be only one sentence engraved in He Nan's mind.
Once the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win over countless others in the world.
