Chapter 4 turbulent tide (1)
Everyone poured wine and drank it themselves. Lord Cao gave a few more instructions, saying that he would meet in front of Jianye Escort Agency at noon tomorrow. After a while, several people stood up and said goodbye to leave. One of the Kunlun two heroes held up the wine glass, and was about to stabilize their minds, but their hands kept trembling. Finally, they threw the wine glass heavily towards the ground, as if they had some deep hatred with them, and the sound of shattering was particularly crisp at night. Another man said, "What's the use of venting to this dead thing? The enemy is now on the second floor. If you want to take revenge, let's go!" Then he heard the footsteps, and the Kunlun two heroes were already quickly upstairs.
Chu Menglin slowly stood up from behind the wine cabinet and followed her with light steps. First, they had low cultivation and were eager to take revenge, but they were not aware of it. Chu Menglin followed them into the room, watched them walk to the edge of the couch coldly, then pressed the hilt of the sword with his right hand and snapped his fingers with his left hand. Both of them did not expect that someone would be buried behind him, so they turned around in shock. Chu Menglin sneered slightly, flicked his thumb, and the sword had already been unsheathed. She held it in the air with her backhand, slashed her sword horizontally, and instantly cut the throats.
This move was done in one go, and it was very neat. Kunlun Heroes did not snort and collapsed softly. Chu Menglin sighed, "If you are willing to be more at ease, you will be fine. If you want to come to this muddy water, you must not blame me." After saying that, they lifted their backs and jumped out of the window, went straight to the well behind the inn, and threw the body in. But they no longer had the intention to sleep peacefully that night, thinking about the raft, and only felt that it was particularly strange.
When the next day, the noon was approaching, and the power of the incense and medicine gradually dissipated. Chu Menglin hurriedly told everyone about what happened last night, and only ignored the murder and destruction of his own traces, and said to Li Yijie: "Their destination for sending the ward this time is also the Regent's Mansion. It can be said that it can kill two birds with one stone. It can be taken advantage of the opportunity to obtain the soul-breaking tears, and it will not delay you as a flower protector."
She knew that if she didn't explain this section clearly, she would definitely refuse to let Li Yijie go to the delicate beauty in Chenxiangyuan. In order to calm his heart, she asked Shen Shiyun in a reckless manner: "How about it, Miss Yun, you have no objection, right?" Although she was asking, the domineering aura in her words could not help but answer the word "no".
Shen Shiyun's pair of silhouettes smiled slightly, and said softly: "That's good. Yun'er is now a homeless and miserable person who is wandering around the world and is almost innocent. She will accept the help of all the heroes. She treats me like a close relative. In the future, she will naturally decide to be with the benefactor. Yun'er is afraid that Brother Li will help me kindly, but delays everyone's itinerary. She is blessed by God and makes everyone's journey go along. It is a rare gift." Li Yijie heard her agree, and he had no objection. Although Nangong Xue and Jiang Liechen did not express their opinions, they also made a promise. Everyone was now on their way.
When I got to the gate, I realized that Jianye Escort Bureau could become the best escort business in the world, but it was not just a false reputation. Even a branch opened in Jingxi Town was not vague. But seeing that the mansion was built with extraordinary magnificent construction, two stone lions stood with their heads raised, a hydrangea ball was placed between the two front paws of the male lion on the left, and a female lion on the right stroking the young lion on the left, showing the domineering spirit of the king. There was a escort car parked in front of the mansion, carrying a large black lacquered gold box. There were several escort masters standing on each side. Judging from their clothes, they could tell that they were all the top figures in the Escort Bureau, and their martial arts were of course of good quality. The other small team was dressed by Qing soldiers and stood very neatly.
Nangong Xue only focused on the box and said strangely: "Master Linkong said that the soul-breaking tears were small in shape, but they used this huge deceased box to ship it. I wonder what the purpose was?" Jiang Liechen said: "Maybe they used the tricks to teach others not to be suspicious." Shen Shiyun said: "It may be that the box is full of mechanisms that makes the other party feel fearless."
Chu Menglin saw that Lord Cao at this moment. Seeing that his facial features were very upright, about twenty-five or six years old, although he was a man in the government, he was not wearing a gorgeous dress and only wore a blue shirt, and looked like a shady man in the martial arts world. The old man Long was already middle-aged, but his body was still strong, and his every move showed a sense of power without anger. The head of Kongtong was still wearing a coarse cloth robe, which looked extremely unremarkable compared to the other two.
But seeing Lord Cao keep pace around the escort car, he said impatiently: "The Kunlun Heroes don't look at what time it is now, why haven't they come yet?" The head of Kongtong was calm and calm, and stroked his beard and smiled: "I'm afraid that the two little guys will get the benefits but don't want to do anything, so they have escaped overnight." Lord Cao said angrily: "How can such a good thing?" A Qing army came out and said: "Sir, I'm willing to go and invite the two knights." Lord Cao only made a "Go and go quickly" gesture. When the Qing army got the order, he immediately led a tall horse and rode away.
Chu Menglin felt suspicious and thought, "Look at the bull's nose, it seems that she knew that the two of them would not appear. That was killed by me with my own hands, how could he help me cover it?"
Suddenly, he remembered that the two heroes of Kunlun had a dispute with the head of Kongtong last night. The head of Kongtong poured wine for him, but his smile was very strange. He whispered to everyone. Jiang Liechen closed his eyes and thought, and knew it naturally in his heart, saying, "The old Taoist with a bull's nose is called the helping guard, but his stomach is breaking the tears of souls. This is not the first time he is playing this trick. If the sand thief is disturbed on the way, he can reap the benefits of the fisherman, and then he has to remove the person who is in trouble first."
Chu Menglin thought to herself, "This makes sense. Those two glasses of wine were poisoned. No matter whether I do anything, they will die."
Nangong Xue said: "In this way, even if he wants to rob the escort, he will definitely plot to murder the old man Long." Li Yijie said anxiously: "The old man Long is open and famous, and I have always admired him very much. We must pay attention to the tears of soul-breaking tears, but we must also protect him secretly." Chu Menglin sneered: "We all know that you, Li Daxia, like to be chivalrous and righteous. Whether it is the girl in the Chenxiangyuan, or the general escort who is famous in the Jianye Escort Agency, you should generally protect it." Shen Shiyun's face turned red, and at this time, the neighing sound came from the horse, and the officer and soldier had already rode back.
When he got closer, he jumped off his horse and knelt on one knee and said, "Sir, I'm not looking for two knights, but then I thought of Yuelai Inn and went there quickly, but..." When he said the important part, he suddenly stopped and looked frightened. Lord Cao said anxiously, "It's just what? Tell me!" The officer and soldier said, "Yes, sir, calm down, but my subordinates only saw a pool of blood in the guest room on the second floor, but the two knights were still missing."
The head of Kongtong asked, "Did you see the corpses of two little thieves in Huashan sect?" The officer and soldier said, "I have never seen it." The head of Kongtong smiled and said, "Mr. Cao, I said that the two were useless. I thought they could not take revenge and killed them." His tone was very lucky to gloat. Master Cao said angrily, "You can't even deal with half-dead people. It's really a waste!" The officer and soldier looked so angry that his face turned pale, and he said, "You must die a villain."
The old man Long looked solemn. He took out a hand-roll from his arms, spreading it out like a drawing, and sighed, "This is the roadmap I am afraid of something going on, so I drove out overnight after returning home. I didn't expect it to be useful. Although I had to go around a big circle, it was safe and I could not miss the deadline." So he explained the picture in detail to Lord Cao. Lord Cao always frowned, and after he finished speaking, he said, "No, the sand thief will never give up, and he will definitely come to make things difficult for us on the way. For the sake of the present, he can only take the risk of walking through the water."
The old apprentice said in surprise: "Isn't the waterway more dangerous?" Master Cao said: "Yes, but this move can achieve unexpected results. If you want to steal sand, you won't know." The head of Kongtong said: "Mr. Cao said it well. Old apprentice. When you heard that your escort agency had a large ship that was no less than a dragon boat, you would like to borrow it for you." The old apprentice said: "The first time I heard that your escort agency was transporting escorts was a big ship that was no less than a dragon boat, so I would like to borrow it for you." The old apprentice was determined to make a plan and shook his head and sighed: "Well." He ordered the escort to prepare a boat at the ferry, and the group drove the escort car to go there.
When he arrived at the ferry, he saw a large boat mooring on the shore. It was tall, spacious, majestic and luxurious. The towers on the boat were majestic, the hull was carved and painted with gold ornaments, and the weather was extraordinary. Master Cao stared at the big boat for a while and sneered: "Old Long's escort head has a wealth of wealth, and this is not false. This boat is as good as a dragon boat on the voyage." Old Long's escorts said: "I dare not take it." He directed the escorts to carry the escort boxes on the boat. The boat was even more luxurious, just like a mansion. Li Yijie and others saw that the boat had been turned a few times, but they could not see where the escort boxes were placed.
Seeing Lord Cao slowly boarding the boat, Nangong Xue said anxiously: "You have to think of a way to get along." Just as hesitating, he suddenly saw another small boat sailing from the shore. Although it was a very different place than the big boat, it also had a cabin.
Chu Menglin suddenly had an inspiration and said, "It's better to take a small boat and follow it far away, and then wait for an opportunity to act." When the boat got closer, he called the shipman and rewarded him with a silver ingot, and told him to keep a distance from the big boat to see the shadow of the sail.
The shipman got the benefits, and was very attentive and thoughtful, and they all went into the cabin to rest. Everyone was still worried that the incident would suddenly happen, so they agreed to leave one person on the boat to monitor it at all times, and the rest would save their energy for the rest, and change shifts every two hours. However, Li Yijie suggested that the matter of the soul-breaking tears had nothing to do with Shen Shiyun and volunteered to take her shift. Nangong Xue was unhappy again, and Chu Menglin persuaded her kindly, so she taught her to look a little slow. In this way, the boat was far away and she was always calm.
At night, Li Yijie slowly walked out of the cabin and yawned, but saw a person sitting at the stern of the boat. The figure was slender and thin, but at this moment he seemed a little lonely and desolate. It was Nangong Xue. Li Yijie couldn't bear it and stepped forward and said, "You go back and rest, I'll change shifts!"
Nangong Xue raised her eyes and looked at him for a moment, and said warmly, "I can't sleep. Senior brother, please sit down and talk with me?" Nangong Xue's words and resentment were quite a bit of resentment about Shen Shiyun these days, but the voice was extremely gentle at this time. Li Yijie was really flattered, so he hurriedly sat down beside her, took off her coat and put it on her, and said, "It's windy at night, be careful not to catch a cold."
Nangong Xue silently wrapped the coat tightly and said quietly: "Recently, I often wonder, is there a clear distinction between righteousness and evil? So who can be called "righteousness"? I went down the mountain this time and experienced many things, which also subverted some of my original views. Those famous and upright sects, including us, went to the Shadow Villa to cut off the soul tears. They said it nicely, as if they were extremely righteous in the martial arts world. In contrast, I think the Shadow Sacrifice Sect is still open and upright. Isn't it ridiculous to have the same purpose as the same? To be fair, they were as aggressive as the top of Wudang Mountain that day. If they could not get the Soul Tears, they would not have been able to destroy the family and burn the village!"
Li Yijie was frightened when he heard this. He had thought about these things secretly, but he finally realized that this was a rebellious thought. Therefore, whenever his thoughts were touched, he would be busy trying to distract himself from other things. However, Nangong Xue analyzed it so thoroughly and sighed: "Since I was a child, my master has often taught us that righteousness is goodness, evil is evil, and good and evil are incompatible. When the righteous disciples see people in the cult, they should draw their swords and kill them without asking the reason."
Nangong Xue said: "I don't want to deny the upright sects in all respects, but this is a bit too domineering. The reason why cults are called evil is because their ancestors have done things that are despised by others. But if they are born in cults, what method can they do? People in cults who have never done bad things are better than those in the upright sects who are false benevolence and righteous!"
Li Yijie said: "This is not bad. In fact, the seniors in the martial arts world cannot understand such a simple truth. Xueer, you don't need to worry. As long as we act properly and sit upright, we are worthy of the title of "right disciple". That's fine. I believe that justice is in the hearts of people."
