The sky is cloudy and there is no moon.
In the bamboo forest of Lijun Courtyard, it was pitch black, and a nighthawk fell into it. Its gray-brown fur showed the same color as all around in such a lightless night, making it impossible for people to detect it. its existence.
Suddenly, a faint light shone outside the bamboo forest.
It was a heroic woman in red armor and red boots holding a lantern in her hand. She and a girl dressed in men's clothing were walking this way, bypassing the hidden entrance of the bamboo forest and winding along the gravel path.
Nighthawk moved his steps, leaned down, and saw that the glimmer of light was still approaching. He kicked his talons, and the whole thing turned into a black light and flew into the dark sky.
The girl dressed in men's clothing was startled and couldn't help but hug the heroic woman's arm.
The heroic woman glanced at the black darkness deep in the bamboo forest and said dissatisfiedly, "It's okay to stay in a place like this at night, but I don't even light a lamp..."
As he said that, he pulled the girl dressed in men's clothing and walked inside. When it suddenly opened up and revealed a huge pavilion, through the dim light of the lantern, he could see clearly that there was a person sitting on a chair on the edge of the pavilion with his legs crossed and looking at the sky. The young man is Luo Chuan.
The two women are naturally Siqi and Huayu.
"I remember that you were most afraid of the dark when you were a child. Why do you always like to stay in a place like this now?" Siqi lit up a lantern and lit up the lamps on several pillars inside the pavilion one after another. The light enveloped the surrounding bamboo forest. There was a hazy warmth in the light.
Luo Chuan then stretched out and said, "If you light up the lamp, how can a small bamboo forest like this attract a nighthawk to fall down?" He simply put his feet on the guardrail at the edge of the pavilion and moved his head towards the pavilion. He leaned back and rested his head on his hands, "It's only possible to hide in a dark place and wait motionless for a long time."
Siqi knew there was something in his words, so he curled his lips and said nothing.
Hua Yu stood next to Luo Chuan and looked up at the sky like him. It was dark and low, and she couldn't see anything. "Master, do you think the place where the autumn wind is staying is not dark enough?"
Luo Chuan did not comment, but asked, "I heard from the film that the theories made by Qiu Feng spread very quickly."
"Well," Hua Yu squatted down next to Luo Chuan's chair, looked up at Luo Chuan and said, "Since before we arrived in Xingcheng, Qiu Feng had already set up in Xingcheng, and several people who had received the news in advance came to Xingcheng to set up stalls. This kind of people are always well-informed and willing to spread the news, and they are also the most adaptable. Now that the world is undergoing great changes, they are actually much more nervous than those who are famous for their sects. Seeing that even Dazong The door has to go down the mountain, so they naturally want to be one step ahead. It is not accurate to say that these people are from the mountain. It is not accurate to say that they are from the mountain. They are more like some people seeking survival who wander around the mountain. ,Interesting."
"Unexpected, reasonable, and indeed somewhat interesting," Luo Chuan shook his head, "It's just that Yun Bailou probably understood this earlier than we did, so we must be cautious when selecting people in the future. If you suffer a loss from this kind of person, I’m afraid it won’t be easy to regain your position.”
"Hua Yu understands," Yin Hua Yu lowered her head.
"I have also heard about the rumors circulating on the mountain. Nowadays, various opinions are mixed among the monks on the mountain. They are true and false. It can be regarded as teaching them the first lesson of coming down the mountain to enter the world. Compared with Many people on the mountain simply seek Taoism, but people at the bottom of the mountain are obviously much more complicated." Luo Chuan frowned slightly, "But you must pay attention to the clarity of this pool of water. The water is not clear enough. Some opinions are irrelevant, such as saying that people are lustful. Although let them say that it is not beautiful to have their mouths on other people's faces and to impose interference, it is not good even if the water is turbid. Some opinions have hidden murderous intentions, such as killing people, shutting down hospitals and banning investigations, etc., they must not sit idly by and ignore them. Nowadays, if all directions of investigation and countermeasures are unsuccessful, other methods are needed. Yun Sanshan is the weakness of Yun Bailou that cannot be avoided. If you make good use of this person, you can take advantage of it when wrestling with Guang County. Get some bargains.”
Hua Yu raised her head and glanced at Luo Chuan, then nodded in understanding.
Luochuan wanted to say something more, but he saw a figure in white looming outside the bamboo forest. He turned to look at the sudden shadow beside him and said, "Is Mr. Su back?"
Shadow nodded.
Luo Chuan stood up, patted his wrinkled clothes, and walked to the pavilion to wait. When the white-clothed figure in the lead appeared, he nodded to a few people, "Thank you for your hard work on this adventure."
The white-clothed figure at the head was Qianxue. After hearing this, she just nodded and entered the pavilion to find a seat at random.
Su Yiming, who was in ragged clothes behind her, bowed after hearing this, "Yiming was careless at first, but fortunately it didn't delay the governor too much."
Luo Chuan used his hand to lead him, and he and Su Yiming entered the pavilion, found two adjacent chairs and sat down, and then asked again, "I received a secret letter from Mr., I only know that I was trapped in Anyang a few days ago. In the end what happened?"
"This matter is a long story," Su Yiming took a sip from the tea cup from Siqi's hand and looked at Luochuan, saying, "Since I parted ways with the prefect at the city gate that day, I have been coming straight out of Lijun. Xingcheng, I went down the Ya River from Xingcheng Port to Sucheng, one of the three cities in the south of Hanoi County, and met the head of Tingfeng Pavilion, Zhong Shuye, in the name of Lijun's guest minister."
"Zhong Shuye is an imposing person. He who cultivates the path of Tingfeng Pavilion is the way of rebirth and follows the path of Lingbao Dao. You can see that I still treat him with courtesy when I go up the mountain in the name of a secular guest. Moreover, this person treats me with courtesy. Nowadays, I am very interested in the situation at the foot of the mountain and the affairs of Southwest Hanzhou. We talked with me for a whole day, asked many questions, and shared many opinions. Among them, such as how to deploy the third line of defense in Anyang County, the views expressed were actually It also has its own uniqueness, which is surprising." Su Yiming praised the leader of Tingfeng Pavilion a lot, "Then I stayed in Tingfeng Pavilion for three days, but I never saw the leader Zhong Shuye again. , I only had a few words with some elders and disciples, but it was not as profound as with Zhong Shuye, so I said goodbye and left. Then I went upstream along the Baihe River, passed Ancheng without stopping, and went straight to Heyuan City, Anyang County, to see Xiaoyao. The head of the valley, Wan Qingsi, unexpectedly..."
"Unexpectedly, I was rejected," Su Yiming smiled, "I had heard before that Wan Qingsi had a weird temperament, and was harsh and indifferent even to her disciples. But I didn't expect that the Annan Conference was about to start, and I took the guest minister from Li County. The sign couldn't knock on the door of Xiaoyao Valley, so I left Heyuan City and returned to Ancheng to meet a few friends, and then learned some news about Xiaoyao Valley..."
Luo Chuan's expression condensed and he asked, "Is it this news that makes Mr. Su think that Li County should not be the first to recruit Xiaoyao Valley?"
Su Yiming shook his head, "It's not that we can't take the lead in recruiting Xiaoyao Valley, but... we simply can't!!"
