Yanmei thought for a moment and said doubtfully: "Sister Furong, your concern is somewhat reasonable, but it is also confusing. If there is a spy inside us, he poisoned us yesterday and our entire army was wiped out. Why didn't he What about doing this?"
Furong was stunned. She had never thought about this problem before, and then said: "Maybe he has no chance to do it, but we must be careful about this in the future. But we cannot reveal it, otherwise people will be panicked and we will be in chaos."
Yanmei said: "Then let Chanjuan and others be responsible for food safety. I can definitely trust them. In addition, everyone in Xiangmen will definitely hide. How can we find this group of traitors?"
Furong was silent for a while and said: "There are so many of them. Unless they spread out and hide, they will be discovered sooner or later. I have to think carefully about how to do it."
Liu Shui said: "Now their identities are exposed and their movements are restricted. We have also identified the opponent, and it is much better now than before when we didn't know anything. Now that they have no public identity cover, it is difficult for them to make big achievements, Princess Don't worry. Furong, don't be too anxious."
Yanmei nodded and said: "What Liu Shaoxia said makes sense. I will arrange for people to search the whole city for a few days to see if I can find anything."
Liu Shui walked out of the hall and saw Hongying patrolling with chrysanthemums and plum blossoms.
Liu Shui hurriedly walked over and said to Hongying: "You are also tired today, so go to bed early. I'll just do the rounds."
Hongying smiled slightly and said, "I'm fine. What were you talking about just now?"
Liu Shui said: "Now everyone in Xiangmen has disappeared, and Furong didn't think of any good way to find this group of people."
As Liu Shui spoke, he pulled Hongying to sit on the stool next to him. They were busy for days and the two of them didn't have much of a conversation.
Hongying leaned against Liu Shui and said, "This is indeed a troublesome matter, but I think among the people who came today, there is a figure who seems to be the Taoist Priest from Yunlu Palace."
When Liu Shui told Hongying, he also remembered that at the Lushan Conference that day, he and Quan Xiangmen cooperated very well. That was a clue. Liu Shui thought of this and said, "You better be careful. Let's go and investigate secretly!"
Hongying nodded and said, "Okay, let's go take a look now."
The two got up, found Furong and Yanmei, and expressed their suspicions. Furong thought for a moment and said, "I want to go there to take a look, but you can only observe in secret and not be discovered by them."
Liu Shui and Hongying immediately left the government office and went straight to Lushan. The moon is bright and the breeze is blowing. The two started Qinggong and soon arrived at the foot of Lushan Mountain.
Liu Shui and Hongying checked on the ground and found that there were many footprints heading up the mountain, so they followed the footprints all the way. Halfway up the mountain, it was hard to see the footprints. The two of them looked up and saw that they were not far from Lushan Temple. Liu Shui thought that all the people in Xiangmen must have dispersed for fear of disturbing Lushan Temple.
The two men picked up Qinggong and were flying towards the mountain. Suddenly I heard someone shouting: "Who is breaking into Yuelu Mountain at night?"
Liu Shui and Hongying quickly put away their Qinggong skills, stopped, and concentrated on alert. At this time, three people jumped out from the big tree next to them. Liu Shui took a closer look and saw that the leader was Master Liaochen of Lushan Temple.
Liu Shui said quickly: "Junior Liu Shui, I have met the master."
Master Liaochen glanced at Liu Shui and said, "Are you Liu Shui and Liu Shaoxia? The donor offended Yan Zhijian and asked for life for the people. The poor monk admired him very much. What are you doing here late at night?"
Liu Shui replied respectfully: "Tonight, all the gangsters from Xiangmen attacked the government office. We are ordered by the princess to trace their whereabouts. I wonder if Master has discovered anything?"
Master Liaochen said in shock: "We have also learned that someone attacked the government office at night, but we did not expect that it was someone from Quanxiangmen. This Quanxiangmen is really bold. We also heard that something happened in the city, so the abbot ordered us to strengthen Patrol to avoid accidents. Two hours ago, we did hear some movement in front of us, but since they did not come towards Lushan Temple, we did not pursue it. "
Liu Shui briefly told the story of how the government office was attacked and the whole Xiangmen took a boat to the west bank of the Xiangjiang River, and said: "I guess this group of people are still hiding in the mountains. I will say goodbye and go up the mountain to investigate."
Master Liaochen said: "Yuelu Mountain is so big and it's nighttime. There are only two of you. How can we trace it? Why don't you and I go into the temple and meet the abbot to see if he has any suggestions?"
Liu Shui asked hesitantly: "Isn't it too abrupt to disturb Master Wuchen's retreat late at night?"
Liao Chen said: "It doesn't matter."
Liu Shui thought for a while and said, "It's better to wait until we go up to check and then go see him when we come down. I'm worried that the longer time passes, the harder it will be to track down clues."
Liao Chen said: "In that case, I'll go take a look with you two. I'm more familiar with this place than you are. I hope I can help you track down these people."
Liao Chen was defeated by everyone from Xiangmen in the Lushan Conference. Although his family was indifferent to fame and fortune, martial arts practitioners would inevitably have some grudges. Now everyone in Xiangmen is a criminal, and Liao Chen is willing to help him to uphold justice.
Liu Shui thought that he was very familiar with him since he lived in the mountains all year round, so he said, "Master Lao." Liao Chen said a few words to the two people behind him. The two monks turned around and went to Lushan Temple, while Liu Shui and the other three came towards the top of the mountain.
After arriving at Yunlu Palace, Liu Shui and the other three hid themselves in a big tree and looked inside Yunlu Palace. Everything in Yunlu Palace was quiet, and there was nothing unusual. Liu Shui and the others quietly approached the palace gate and flew up to the roof. I saw two Taoist-looking men patrolling the courtyard. The wing room next to the main hall in the courtyard is brightly lit.
Liu Shui thought that many people had joined Yunlu Palace since the Lushan Conference and the announcement of the establishment of the sect. The fact that people were patrolling so late at night meant that there must be something abnormal in the palace.
The three of them looked at each other, and Liu Shui said softly: "You guys are here to monitor and respond, and I'll go down and take a look." After that, he quietly got off the roof.
Liu Shui used the cover of night to cleverly avoid the patrolling Taoist priests. He leaned against the wall and jumped on top of the scale, and seemed to hear someone talking in the wing. He was busy practicing Wuji Gong and listened attentively.
An old voice inside said: "Sect Master, are you sure that they won't come here tonight to check? And they won't conduct a large-scale search of Yuelu Mountain?"
A young woman reassured the Taoist priest, saying that based on her judgment, the government would not conduct a major search tonight. First, there was so much movement tonight, and the whole Xiangmen was completely exposed. The government would naturally think that everyone in Xiangmen would flee in panic, and they would flee as far away as possible. That's why she decided to do the opposite, a move that certainly surprised the government.
Secondly, the actions of the whole Xiangmen tonight will definitely make the government suspect that there is a spy inside, and the government will definitely focus on finding out who the spy is. The third is that Quanxiangmen will not suffer any losses this time, and the government officials will be worried that Quanxiangmen is using a strategy to lure the tiger away from the mountain, and they will not dare to leave the government office rashly.
The last point is that people in the government should not be so quick to think that Yunlu Palace and Quanxiangmen are one family. Besides, if someone from the government finds out, she has a way to deal with it so that the Taoist priest doesn't have to worry.
Liu Shui recognized that the woman's voice was that of the Xiao Clan Master, and that the old man's voice was that of the Taoist Priest of Yunlu Palace. They are indeed all the way, but I don't know if all of Xiangmen are here. Hearing that they were leaving Tanzhou for Yuezhou at dawn, Liu Shui retreated quietly.
When Liu Shui saw Hongying and Chen Hou, he said softly: "As expected, everyone from Xiangmen is here, and they are preparing to leave at dawn. Hongying, go back quickly and ask the princess to bring people to surround this place. Time is very tight, hurry up Go back quickly, otherwise it will be too late. I will continue to watch here." Hongying agreed, turned around and left, heading straight to the government office.
Liao Chen quickly said: "Young hero, can this poor monk be of service?"
Liu Shui said: "I want to trouble the masters at Lushan Temple with something, but I think it would be too troublesome for your temple."
Liao Chen said displeasedly: "We are all contributing to the stability of the world. To talk about trouble is to underestimate this temple."
Liu Shui hurriedly said: "Master, please forgive me for making a mistake. I would like to ask the master to go back to your temple to gather people and search other places in Yuelu Mountain where people may be hiding. With the cunning of Quanxiangmen, I estimate that the people of Quanxiangmen will definitely They are scattered and hidden, so they won’t all be here.”
Liao Chen said: "It's a trivial matter. I will go back and report it to the abbot and search everywhere immediately. We live here all year round. If these people hide here, they will be found quickly."
Liu Shui added: "Master, remember, if you find any clues, don't alert them. You just keep an eye on them, and when the princess comes, catch them all. Then ask your temple for help." Liao Chen agreed, stepped back from the roof, and turned around. Lushan Temple.
Liu Shui saw that the lights in the wing were still on, so he quietly walked over and listened carefully. I heard the Taoist priest asking: "Does the sect master need to rest for a while? Wait until dawn before taking action?"
Xianglan said: "No, it doesn't matter if you are imprisoned in a secret room during the day to recharge your batteries. However, this place may also be exposed, so you have no choice but to leave with us. But in that case, it will be a waste of your many years of hard work." "
The Taoist leader said: "What did the sect master say? It is our duty to do our best for you. I only hope that we can accomplish great things, recover the beam as soon as possible, and live up to the sect master's trust."
Xianglan said: "General Wang Jin is loyal and courageous, and he never forgets his old kindness, which is admirable."
The Taoist Master said: "Sect Master Miao Zan, this is a matter of duty."
After listening to their conversation, Liu Shui realized that these people were actually Xiao Liang's old ministers. No wonder they were powerful.
Xianglan said bitterly: "It's a pity that the girl got involved this time. I thought that the government investigation had no solid evidence, so I didn't dare to take people at will. I didn't expect that Wu Yanmei would take action as soon as the girl started messing around, catching us off guard."
The Taoist leader asked: "What are the origins of Liu Shui and Furong? Are they the spies secretly arranged by the imperial court to sabotage us?"
Xianglan said: "They are not spies from the imperial court. Liu Shui is a well-known person in the world. I knew that he was good at martial arts and wanted to recruit him, so I didn't kill him. I didn't expect that he has become a big problem for us now. , I will never be merciful again if I have the opportunity in the future.”
