In addition to the group of bosses Hu, there are two groups of people who followed Shaying and them. One of them is not someone else. As Shaying expected, the old opponent—Jin Yiwei, and Qinglong himself led the team. Their news comes from In the daytime in the Cuiping Tower, it was certain that the posture displayed by Sha Ying and Ling Tian after they left was the "no trace" white-faced scholar.
After leaving the Cuiping Building during the day, the white-faced scholar contacted the Jinyiwei headquarters with the specially trained "Tian Li Yi Da" carrier pigeons. He said that he met a person in Luoma Town, Qinghai, and he probably disappeared for three years and was judged by the outside world as " "Death" Shaying, he described in detail every detail of Shaying's appearance in the Cuiping Tower. Jin Yiwei, who was in charge of intelligence reception, read the signature of the letter and directly handed it to Qinglong.
After Qinglong watched, he directly concluded that Shaying was the one who appeared in the Cuiping Tower. He knew he was not dead, because he found something strange during the search at that time. It was just that there was an emergency at the court at that time, and he was hurriedly called back to Beijing. Xu Lao The eunuch also received Wei Zhongxian's order, and the Yiban teacher returned to the court. They stayed in the capital for three years. They had never been to Qinghai again. The Shaying matter was put on hold and had to be handled by the people below.
Now that three years have passed, the people below finally got a message about Shaying. Qinglong was still very excited. Although the court called him back at the time, he failed to get the dragon ball. Xi Zong was extremely angry and cursed him. He was so bloody, and he was fined for half a year's salary, which made him always worry about it, and quietly swear in his heart that whether the sand eagle is dead or alive, he must figure out that he wants to recover the sand eagle belt. The dragon ball that went away.
However, Qinglong did not go straight to Qinghai to capture Shaying. Instead, he implemented it according to the original plan-to go to Chengdu, and when the world's heroes convened a martial arts conference, he would wipe out all the martial arts opponents in the martial arts. He believed that for such a grand event, Shaying must I won't miss it, I'm sure to sneak in secretly. As long as Shaying goes to Chengdu, he can hardly escape his eyes and ears with the eyeliner he has recently installed in Chengdu.
Jin Yiwei is just one group of people. Needless to say, the other group knows who it is-Chang Wei. Like Jin Yiwei, Chang Wei also got the news. The eunuch head Xu Gonggong of Dongchang factory eunuch is the same as Qinglong. After reading the mule from Qinghai After the news from Ma Zhen, it was confirmed that Shaying was still alive.
The difference is that their source was after Shaying killed, and received news that he rushed to the scene to deal with the officer who was killed by Zhu Si. This officer was an undercover agent arranged by the factory guard in Qinghai and has always provided them with information in Qinghai. intelligence.
Although the factory guard was at odds with Jinyiwei, it was related to the safety of the court and his own interests. Wei Zhongxian also dispatched the old eunuch Xu from Dongchang factory to take a group of factory guards to Chengdu to cooperate with Jinyiwei, guide the local army, and attack from three directions. , To wipe out martial artists who opposed the imperial court.
The old eunuch Xu had the same judgment as Qinglong. He expected that Shaying would definitely go to the Chengdu martial arts conference on an unprecedented scale, so he did not send additional manpower to encircle Shaying in other places. It was just the flying pigeon that passed the letter to Chengdu factory guards. They are ready to be alert to the appearance of sand eagles at all times, and do not act rashly, waiting for orders and waiting for their arrival.
…
For a while, all eyes were focused on Chengdu, and three groups of them also focused on Shaying and the others. The martial arts convention has not yet begun, and the undercurrent among the people has become fierce.
This martial arts conference was proposed and presided over by the current martial arts leader Xie Yaoyang. Xie Yaoyang's reputation in the arena is very high, and his appeal is very strong. Whether it is martial arts or fame, he is above the sand eagle, only those who do not come out of the mountain. Monsters, or the current leader of the shadow cult, and a handful of predecessors who have not yet retired can contend.
The purpose of Xie Yaoyang's martial arts conference in Chengdu was to elect leaders of the martial arts rebels, organize and lead the rebels of the martial arts, support the anti-Ming rebels in Shaanxi, protect their leaders and important generals, and help them resist the evil forces of Jinyiwei, Factory Guards, and Jianghu. And other attacks that were bought by the court and wanted to disadvantage them.
The martial arts conference is a grand event in the entire martial arts. Only the leader of the martial arts or the highly respected members of the martial arts can announce it. Although there is no fixed time limit, if there is no emergency or major events require the participation of the entire martial arts, the martial arts conference may take decades. It will not be held once, so its preciousness and importance are self-evident.
Therefore, as soon as the news came out, it quickly spread across the entire river. Many people of insight who were disappointed in the imperial court all stood up and responded to Xie Yaoyang’s call. They packed up and traveled far and wide. , All rushed to Chengdu in a hurry.
It was too late for Sha Ying to get the news of the martial arts conference, because Xie Yaoyang announced that the martial arts conference was two months ago. He stipulated that all martial artists who wanted to participate in the martial arts conference must arrive within three months, otherwise they would be at their own risk.
Now two months have passed, and only a pitiful month remains. Qinghai is far away from Chengdu. It will take at least twenty days to get from Qinghai to Chengdu. This is still the case without being delayed by anything on the way. It's hard to say in case of emergencies. So Shaying and the others are lucky, because if they come out a little later, they will probably miss the feast. Unfortunately, they will spend the next 20 days on the road, and it is impossible to stop halfway. , Move forward slowly.
…
In addition, Sha Ying and Ling Tian chatted late into the night. In addition to the martial arts conference, Xie Yaoyang and others, and the Eight King Kong of Shadow Teacher, Sha Ying also told Ling Tian a lot of stories about the rivers and lakes he didn't know. Ling Tianchu came out of the cottage and knew very little about the affairs of the rivers and lakes. He was interested in what Sha Ying said. He was fascinated when he heard it, and he forgot the passage of time.
It was not until a cock rang that Ling Tian came back to his senses. He yawned and gradually felt that sleepiness was coming. It was not easy to run around during the day. They had been sleepy and lack of horses, but the previous story of the curious sand eagle did not care. It was almost early in the morning, Ling Tian could no longer resist the raging exhaustion, and had to go to wash with a bit of meaning, and then fell asleep in a **.
Sha Ying was not much better. After Ling Tian went to sleep, he closed the doors and windows and threw out three thin threads with embroidery needles at each end. The embroidery needles were inserted into the windows, doors, and the wood on the roof. One end was held in his hand, just like that, Shaying slept in the other clothes.
About an hour later, a dozen or twenty black shadows suddenly appeared outside the inn. The black shadows are like ghosts in the night. They are vigorous and leap forward. Their silhouettes are already 100 meters away. They are not masters. It is impossible to find the trajectory of their movement.
These dark shadows are all human beings, they are all dressed in black, with black masks, and the whole person is shrouded in black, unable to see the true face. With their superb light work and a black dress, these people in black blended perfectly with the night. Without waking anyone up, they approached the inn quietly.
As they approached the gate of the inn, all these people in black stopped, each hiding their figures with pillars, stone steps, and big trees. They pressed their hands on the hilt of their swords in a gesture of drawing their swords while looking towards The three people crawling under the steps quietly waited for orders.
At night, there was no reason to be quiet. In the early hours of the morning, the cold current returned to the ground. Someone in the inn was invaded by the cold air, and could not help sneezing in his sleep.
Nuo Da’s inn quietly slept in the arms of the night, no one realized that the danger had come, Ling Tian slept to death, a big letter was placed in **, the entire bed was occupied by him alone; two-thirds of the bed; Sha; Eagle sleeps very well, just like the original sleeping position, never turning over at all.
It’s just that although Shaying is a master, he is not made of iron and steel. He also needs to rest. At this time, he is sleeping soundly, and he has not noticed any movement outside, nor the people in black who are approaching. He doesn’t know that they will be harmful to them. .
The people in black outside surrounded the inn but did not immediately act. One of the three creeping down the steps lowered his voice and said:
"The third child, it's best for you to work lightly. Go and see if anyone is asleep inside. If there is one, remember his location, but don't disturb him or wake up other people, then come back and report it to me quickly."
"Yes." The third child whispered and walked away. As soon as he moved, he flew to the roof of the inn, like a wisp of wind, a feather fell on the roof tiles without causing any movement or awakening anyone. , He just started to explore on the roof of the inn.
