"The insect painting on the paper was drawn based on my impression. I imitated it from Uncle Chen. He printed one on the west corner outside the inn..." Yuan Gang noticed something unusual and discovered that Uncle Chen was secretly meeting people and secretly following the meeting. The story of the person has been told over and over again.
Guan Fangyi's bright eyes flickered, and her heart was equally astonishing, but she refused to admit anything and said angrily: "What does this prove? What do you want to do?"
Niu Youdao, who was on the couch, said coldly: "When I first arrived in Wanxiang City, I was blocked by the Shangqing Sect. Don't you think there is a problem?"
Guan Fangyi said cheerfully and sarcastically: "There are too many possibilities. I said, Master, you don't think that Chen Boneng has colluded with the Shangqing Sect, do you?"
Niu Youdao: "About twenty days ago, the Shangqing Sect suddenly left Beizhou. Judging from the time, there was no time to go around. Instead, it went straight to Wanxiang City and blocked me. My trip was Even Gongsun Bu didn't know the destination at least ten days ago. The only people who knew about it before were you and Monkey. How could the Shangqing Sect know my destination? You should have revealed the destination to your brothers, right?"
Guan Fangyi thought about this problem repeatedly in her heart and defended her mouth: "I have said it, but my brothers in Fufangyuan have been following me for many years, and there will never be any problem. If there is a problem, it won't wait until today. Uncle Chen is here He has been by my side for thirty years, and he has saved my life many times. Anyone may have problems, but he will not have any problems. You don’t think that the Shangqing Sect had planned something around me thirty years ago, right? "
Niu Youdao answered the question: "With the ability of the Shangqing Sect, it is impossible to break away from Shao Pingbo's control. The Shangqing Sect was able to escape from Beizhou this time because someone took action, Zhao Xiongge of Demon Ridge!"
"Zhao Xiongge?" Guan Fangyi was shocked.
Niu Youdao continued to say slowly: "Assemble a hundred elites from the three sects to come here secretly. I'm just joking, but the monkeys didn't take it seriously. Someone on your side may take it seriously."
"..." Guan Fangyi was choked and speechless. She thought Niu Youdao's plan to exterminate the Shangqing Sect was a bit too much, but it turned out to be a lie.
In an instant, she realized that it was a deliberate trap, deliberately told to them, deliberately pretending to install the Qing sect in the crisis of annihilation, just to make the situation urgent and force out the possible spies. He had to take action and leak the news, and then this side would have a chance to find out the spy.
Is it really Uncle Chen? Guan Fangyi found it difficult to accept this reality and said with a miserable look on her face: "No, it's impossible, there must be some misunderstanding!"
Niu Youdao: "I have been able to stay by your side for so many years without being discovered by you. It is indeed hidden deep enough. I am very curious about what secrets you have that are worthy of someone or a certain force from hiding in you thirty years ago. Invest yourself.”
Guan Fangyi picked up the paper in her hand, stared at the insect paintings on the paper, gritted her teeth, and suddenly turned around, "I'll confront him!"
"Stop!" Niu Youdao stopped him.
Guan Fangyi stopped and turned around, with anger in her bright eyes, "Are you even suspicious of me?"
Niu Youdao: "When something like this happens, is it wrong to be suspicious? Matchmaker, you should know in your heart that I have always trusted you."
Guan Fangyi tilted her head to the side and snorted: "Who knows whether you are telling the truth or a lie."
Niu Youdao: "You really want me to tell the truth? I'm afraid you won't like to hear my truth!"
Guan Fangyi immediately looked back and said, "Say!"
Niu Youdao said casually: "This is what you asked me to say... It's a pity that you are a bit older, otherwise I would definitely marry you."
Guan Fangyi's eyes suddenly widened, she hooked her legs under her skirt, took off her embroidered shoes, smashed them over, then rushed over and tore them with Niu Youdao.
The situation was a bit tragic. Guan Fangyi was riding on Niu Youdao, looking like she wanted to strangle Niu Youdao to death.
Yuan Gang on the side had no expression on his face. He walked to the side and took a map to look at. It had nothing to do with him.
It wasn't until Niu Youdao on the couch repeatedly begged for mercy that Guan Fangyi realized that her riding posture was indeed a bit inelegant. A rare blush flew up her cheeks, and she quickly got off the couch, straightened her skirt, and picked it up again on the couch. He put his embroidered shoes on his feet and cursed: "You should be strangled to death, you bastard!"
I was scolded, but I felt really comfortable and my mood was much smoother.
Niu Youdao sighed for a while, got up and straightened out his messed up clothes, and reminded him by the way: "We have forced him to reveal himself. The facts are all there. It doesn't matter whether he is right or not. If you have any doubts, we will talk about it later. Now, you know in your heart That’s it, don’t alert the enemy for the time being. I want to figure out what’s going on with the Shangqing Sect. I can’t accept the move in a daze. I’m about to force the people behind the Shangqing Sect to show up. Now that you’ve exposed the matter, how can I? Isn’t it a waste of time?”
Guan Fangyi was silent for a moment, and after thinking about it, it was indeed the case, but she still cursed, "Insidious and cunning!"
After scolding him, he slowly sat down next to the couch with a melancholy look on his face. He still couldn't accept the fact that Uncle Chen was a spy.
Niu Youdao sat cross-legged, "How did he get to you?"
Guan Fangyi's eyes were filled with memories and thoughts, "I met him on the way. He was seriously injured and fell on the roadside. I gave him a helping hand and saved him. I asked him where he came from, but he didn't tell me. I didn't ask for anything at the time. He reciprocated, but he followed me all the time, and rescued me when I was in trouble. After that, he didn't ask for it, and I didn't force him, he just followed me naturally. In the blink of an eye, he was thirty. Years have passed, and I have encountered a lot of troubles. He has repeatedly sacrificed his life to save me. He has never wanted anything. Facts have proved that he is not here for my beauty. How could he be a spy? What is he after me? I always thought he A drop of water's kindness is repaid by a spring of water. It's true to say that I still don't even know his real name, and he doesn't say it either... "
After listening to her chattering for a while, Niu Youdao felt a little confused. It was not in line with the common sense of a spy, and it was very puzzling.
…
In a remote alley in a corner, there is a small house with dim lights.
It can be seen that this was originally a place where sundries were stored. There was only a plank bed for sleeping, and a square table was placed beside the bed. It seemed that it was difficult to even turn around and take a few steps.
At this time, a table of wine and food was placed on the square table. The rich food and wine were somewhat incompatible with the environment here.
The two of them were sitting across from each other at the table, and Lu Shengzhong was drinking with a man in rather shabby clothes.
The man's name is Chao Shenghai. He is from Wanxiang City and a down-and-out household in Wanxiang City.
Chao Shenghai originally lived a good life, with a shop on the street and a house allocated to him. However, due to his gambling habits, he not only lost his family business, but also his woman. Now I can only help others with some chores, but I am too lazy to do them. No one wants to use this kind of person, so I live a relatively poor life.
It stands to reason that if this kind of people don't starve to death in Vientiane City, they won't be able to survive anymore. However, this person's grandfather is still there, and his status in the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect is not low. He is Chao Jing, the elder of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. Although many people disliked this man, no one could starve to death among Elder Chao's descendants, so he was given a small shelter and a minimum ration of food every month.
It is helpless to ask why Elder Chao did not come forward to take care of his descendants and made his grandson live such a miserable life.
First of all, each sect has its own rules. With so many pairs of eyes watching, as an elder, you cannot pretend to be a public servant for personal gain.
Secondly, Elder Chao’s style is more manly, and he has many wives and concubines, both with and without status. After so many years, there are hundreds of Elder Chao’s descendants in Vientiane City, and it is impossible to take care of them all. I am afraid that even He himself could not even recognize his grandson.
But then again, Elder Chao's identity is a kind of care for his descendants. For example, Chao Shenghai originally had the shop and house left by his father, so he could live a lifetime of food and clothing, but Chao Shenghai himself was too unsatisfactory.
In short, no matter what, the people in Wanxiang City are protected by the Wanxiang Gate, and they have basically been living and working in peace and contentment. Compared with the civilians in the troubled times outside, they have lived a quite comfortable life, at least there is no fear of their lives. Chao Shenghai is really an exception.
But after Lu Shengzhong wandered around the city and made inquiries, he fell in love with this poor man.
After exchanging glasses of wine for a while, Lu Shengzhong poured wine for him and said diligently, "Brother Chao, I hope you can give me some kind words from your side!"
Chao Shenghai, who was blushing after drinking, patted his chest and gave assurance, "Don't worry, Brother Nineteen and I grew up playing in the mud together. This matter is all my responsibility. I will definitely let Brother Nineteen come forward to help you resolve this dispute. There are only a handful of people in Song Jing who dare not give our Ten Thousand Beasts Sect face."
The Lu Sheng Center was disdainful. Since he could find him, he naturally figured out the situation. Among the many descendants of Chao Jing, there was only one, Chao Shenghuai. That is, the 19th brother in front of him was suitable for cultivation. However, his cultivation talent was limited and his future was unclear. He didn't want to be in the light, but because of Chao Jing's face, he managed to stay in the awkward position of being neither good nor low in the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.
But this was the reason why Lu Shengzhong valued him. He complimented with a smile on his face: "Yes, yes, with Elder Chao's face, there will definitely be no problem."
"Uh..." Chao Shenghai burped, and a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes, "Brother Li, help is help, but the truth must be explained clearly. Brother Nineteen cannot run away thousands of miles just because you and I have a drink. Why don't I go to Songjing to resolve the conflict for you? There has to be an explanation, right?"
Lu Shengzhong had expected that this scoundrel could say this, otherwise he would not have found him. He immediately leaned forward slightly and said, "Brother Chao, don't worry, there will be a generous reward when the matter is completed!" He pinched out two coins. The gold coin was pushed to the other party.
Chao Shenghai's eyes lit up slightly. To a monk, two gold coins might not be a big deal, but for his current situation, he could live a good life for a while. However, he was reserved and did not reach out. He shook his head and said: "How can you be so generous after this is done?" To repay the Dharma, it’s better to explain it clearly first, otherwise I won’t be able to explain it clearly to Brother Nineteen because I’m so confused.”
"Easy to say!" Lu Shengzhong nodded, reached for his head and whispered: "I have a fortune for your brother, and I know the whereabouts of a golden king bear..."
