The sky is slightly cloudy, the autumn wind is solemn, and a few leaves that come from nowhere are carried by the cold wind and pass through the courtyard.
Fang Yunxiao has been staying here for a few days, and every day when the sky is light, he gets up to practice martial arts, day after day.
To the outside world, Yuan Weiwei called him a newly recruited buddy.
Although he didn't explain why, Fang Yunxiao has gradually realized that he seems to be quite talented in martial arts, and no matter what martial arts skills are learned, he will often be able to master them immediately.
In this way, it further fueled his enthusiasm for learning martial arts. He studied and practiced hard every day, but in just a few days, although he was still not as good as he was, he was already able to catch up with those third-rate masters in the world just by virtue of his martial arts moves.
Apart from instructing Fang Yunxiao in every move and half way, he didn't do anything. He didn't do anything, and lived a retirement life in advance.
He still remembers that his current persona is the "Yan Shao escort who has not revenged before, has a secret treasure, committed a major crime, is coveted by the whole world, and has a little bit of scheming".
Thoroughly bring the thinking into this role, and learned that the famous catcher Zhou Qinghe is also in Anyang Fucheng, and not long ago? He just committed the Red Flame Gang, and was hit by the other party ...Under such circumstances, how could "Yan Shao's bodyguard" be so calm? I should be terrified in my heart, extremely? I want to leave this dangerous place.
Since the "Yan Shao Escort" should do everything possible to leave, he didn't do it for himself...
…
At the time when he was not being serious? Really? Practicing the human setting, on the other side, Zhou Qinghe, the god catcher who has always been respected by people in the world, was also interpreting the thoughts of "Yan Shao's bodyguard":
"...After the past few days, the head of Yan Shao's bodyguard should have realized that Anyang Prefecture has become a dangerous place, and if he can't look for opportunities to escape, he will be found sooner or later."
Ever since Zhou Qinghe exposed the Jinghong Saber Technique in public, there have been dark tides inside and outside the city of Anyang Prefecture.
A group of people have already been changed at the city gate, and the entire Anyang Prefecture City has been secretly sealed off. Anyone who wants to leave the city will not be able to escape their inspection;
And some people in the city began to search around quietly, investigating the strange faces who had arrived recently, and kept narrowing the circle layer by layer, so that they would be found sooner or later.
Just as Zhou Qinghe thought, if a living person like "Yan Feichi" couldn't escape before being found out, there would be no chance of escape.
—And under such a rigorous search, there are still people who can help him get out of the city... nothing less than those few families.
Zhou Qinghe followed this line of thought, tapped the folding fan on the table lightly, smiling calmly.
He looked at the representatives of the many forces that had been summoned together, and said loudly: "When you send people out of the city recently, you must beware of strangers sneaking in halfway, or joining with other identities... No matter what the method is, you only need to know that the other party's The purpose must be to leave Anyang Mansion. Even if there is no change in the past few days, it doesn't matter, the more you go, the more anxious you should be that Yan Shao escort."
After Zhou Qinghe's analysis, everyone felt that it was reasonable, and immediately followed suit.
Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night that day, news quietly reached Zhou Qinghe.
"Zhou Shenchui really? It's a clever plan, and it's as expected." The person who came to spread the news first praised Zhou Qinghe severely, and then explained the purpose of coming, "...as expected by Zhou Shenchui, it really happened. The change—it's Bai's business name."
Someone bought the steward of the Bai's firm, trying to fish in troubled waters with an extra batch of goods in two days. As for when? Will it? There will be more people besides the goods, so I don't know.
Such small things have always happened in the past, and it is not surprising. If Zhou Qinghe hadn't asked everyone to watch him early, Second Master Bai wouldn't have taken it to heart. But now, it has become a possible clue. After peeling the cocoon, he found the person hidden in the deepest part.
Zhou Qinghe put away the iron fan, stood up, and said with a calm smile: "It seems that it's time to meet this Yan Shao escort. Zhou is really curious about him?"
·
It was late autumn, and the cold wave suddenly arrived overnight, and the weather was suddenly cold. A thin layer of frost formed on the eaves.
Fang Yunxiao got up early as usual, opened the door of the small courtyard, and immediately saw two unexpected guests.
"Young Master Chi... No, it should be Young Master Chi. Yan Feichi...Young Master Yan, you can fool me? It's so miserable."
The fatty came in with a smile, looked past Fang Yunxiao, and looked at Yuan Buwei who appeared in the courtyard. He was still spinning a jade wrench in his left hand.
There was a gleam in his eyes looking at Yuan Buwei, as if he was looking at a gold mine, and his smile was very kind.
"Bai was an old friend with Mr. Yan's bodyguard back then. With the friendship between you and me, why did my nephew hide his identity that day? You can go straight to the White House as a guest, and I? welcome."
Yuan Buwei was only startled at first, but soon his expression returned to normal. He said calmly: "Second Master Bai is coming, why didn't you tell me earlier? The humble house is so simple that there is no time to prepare a cup of hot tea."
As for the title of nephew who descended from his seniority? Even if he is Yan Feichi now, he still doesn't recognize it.
As he said that, he turned around and told Fang Yunxiao who was stunned by the door: "Go to Deqinlou to cook some side dishes, and bring two jugs of wine along the way. I want to catch up with old friends."
"this… "
Didn't Wei frowned slightly, looked at him with dark eyes, and said unceremoniously: "Go soon."
"... Yes, little one, let's go!"
Fang Yunxiao met his gaze, he didn't know what he had realized by himself, suddenly bowed his waist, responded timidly, and ran out in a panic.
Although he has learned a little bit of martial arts, but after all, it only took a few days, and his real strength is almost gone. Seeing this man's sloppy footsteps, the second master Bai turned pale with fright, and they didn't bother to pay attention to such a small person. Step up and walk in.
The gate of the courtyard was closed heavily at some point, and a gust of cold wind was blown, and the surrounding atmosphere was eerily quiet.
Until a cough broke the silence.
The young man covered his mouth and let out a piercing cough. His blood-colored face was paler than the thin white clothes on him, which made him look completely harmless.
"It seems that Yan Shao's bodyguard's injuries are still not healed. There was a fire at home? It should be the 'fire' set by Tianyi Pavilion. Yan Shao's bodyguard was able to escape from Tianyi Pavilion and kill the three Ziyis. Amazing boy Toshihiko."
Thinking of being fooled around last time, Second Master Bai felt ashamed. At this moment, he couldn't help but open his mouth, revealing the truth of the matter, and still looked at Yuan with a smile.
"Just a fluke?"
The young man slowly put down his hand, his eyes slowly swept over the two, and finally landed on the other person who came in behind Second Master Bai, looked at him from beginning to end, and said hesitantly: "This is..."
The gray-clothed man who had been observing silently stepped forward and gently opened the iron fan: "Zhou came here uninvited, I'm sorry."
"Zhou?" The young man's eyes visibly trembled, but his tone was quite calm, "But Zhou Qinghe Zhou Shencaught?"
"Young Master Yan has good eyesight? It's Zhou."
Hearing his conclusive words, the young man was obviously silent for a moment, and then he showed his face and said, "Come this way, you two."
The three of them sat down in front of the stone table in the courtyard, and made a pot of tea in a leisurely manner. The other two were not in a hurry, Zhou Qinghe even boasted:
"Young Master Yan is so determined? Do you know how many people are looking for you in Jianghu?"
Yuan Buwei's hand paused, and suddenly asked in a shy voice, "How did Zhou Shenchuang find me?"
Seeing that he was obviously a bit unwilling, Zhou Qinghe came to his senses and knocked the iron fan on the table: "It's not difficult."
"I scouted the Jiangnan Escort that day, and followed the trail of the killer in Tianyi Pavilion..." He seemed willing to show off his superb investigative skills to others, and told everyone what he had seen along the way, and said From the corpses of the three purple-clothed men seen outside the temple.
"Those three corpses have all been destroyed. It's hard to see what kind of kung fu and force they used... However, if the reputation and strength of Yan Shao's bodyguard in the past were comparable, even if he won, Most likely it was a disastrous victory, and he himself was seriously injured, so he must find a medical center or pharmacy as soon as possible to heal his injuries as soon as possible."
"The next inference is simple. It is possible to gather the medicinal materials needed by Yan Shao's bodyguard... and the closest distance, mixed with fish and dragons, the most convenient city to hide is the Anyang City that connects the north and the south."
Speaking of this, Zhou Qinghe suddenly looked at the young man sitting across from him. Seeing that his expression seemed calm, but his eyes changed slightly, Zhou Qinghe couldn't help but smile more calmly.
He said softly: "It's a coincidence that not long after we arrived, something big happened to the Chiyan Gang. The murderer happened to be good at the Yan family's Jinghong Dao. Although he deliberately changed his tactics, Zhou still recognized it at a glance. .”
"To be honest, I'm a little puzzled at first. Since the leader of Yan Shao's bodyguard has been hidden, how could he be so impulsive all of a sudden?" Looking at the young man with an increasingly dignified expression, Zhou Qinghe felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart. With a stronger sense of accomplishment, he said with a smile, "It wasn't until the clues I got from Bai Erye yesterday, combined with the other clues from before, that I finally figured out the cause and effect."
"On the day of the Chiyan gang's accident, three corpses were found in another street not far from Shili Lane—the same members of the Chiyan gang. It is said that these people love to steal chickens and dogs, and they are very capable. The previous paragraph Some people still see them stepping around here... "
When he said this, Yuan Buwei's hand that was about to take the teapot almost trembled suddenly, although he quickly restrained it, the expression on Zhou Qinghe's face became more determined.
"So, according to my guess, it should be that these thieves accidentally touched Yan Shao's bodyguard, discovered your secret, and maybe took something that shouldn't be taken from you, and handed it to Chi Yan's helper." .You don’t hesitate to expose your identity, but also to find them, and even silence the entire Chi Yan Gang, just to get the things back.”
Like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, Erye Bai, who was listening with gusto, couldn't help but tremble: "Zhou Butou means...is...a secret treasure?"
And the pupils of the young man who was stared at by the two people's eyes shrank suddenly, and said with a forced smile: "Where is there any secret treasure? It's just a rumor spread by the world."
"It is indeed not a secret treasure."
Zhou Qinghe stared at him closely, seeing the young man heaving a sigh of relief, he suddenly opened his mouth to add.
"—It's a fairy stone."
Snapped!
The boy's hand holding the teacup suddenly trembled, and the porcelain-white teacup fell to the ground and broke into several pieces.
His pale lips trembled, but he didn't say a word. But looking at Zhou Qinghe, it was as if he had seen a ghost.
Second Master Bai seemed to have thought of something, and stood up in shock, unable to maintain that smiling Maitreya look: "Xianshi? Zhou Shenchuang is right?"
Only Zhou Qinghe remained calm, but it is not difficult to see the excitement and passion in his eyes, and his eyes never left Yuan Buwei: "It seems that Zhou's speculation is correct, there is indeed a fairy stone in the hands of Young Master Yan. !"
Yuan Buwei sighed softly.
This sigh carried deep helplessness and admiration.
"God Zhou is worthy of the title of God Catcher."
—He acquiesced to Zhou Qinghe's inference.
Zhou Qinghe closed the iron fan abruptly, but couldn't hide the smile on the corner of his mouth, Shi Shiran said: "Yan Shao's bodyguard is absurd."
In the eyes of the two pairs of excitement, the young man said in a young voice: "Thousands of years ago? The strange stone from the sky came to the world. At that time, Xue, Ming, and Yuan, the three great masters, became enlightened. The world regards it as a fairy stone."
"Later, the immortal stone disappeared inexplicably, and the three great masters turned against each other. Among them, the only master Yuan Da who did not leave behind the sect's orthodox lineage was suppressed by the two great masters for some reason. There are rumors that the essence of the immortal stone is in his hands .”
"Yuan Da? Grandmaster has no relatives and no friends. Nearly a thousand years have passed, and no one knows where the fairy stone has gone. Are the rumors true or false..." Speaking of these secrets, the young man's voice seems to be a little faint. Excited, "However, Grandmaster Yuan still has four personal disciples."
Speaking of this, he looked at Zhou Qinghe and the two who were vaguely guessing: "Sword Madness He Lianfeng is the descendant of Yuan Da? Lost your eyes, this is the wrong thing to do..."
The young man sighed deeply, quite sadly.
He suddenly took something out of his sleeve.
It was a pitch-black stone smaller than a goose egg, lying quietly in the palm of the young man, but exuding an inexplicably calming aura, which attracted the eyes of both of them unknowingly. In the past, Second Master Bai couldn't control himself and wanted to reach out to take it.
Yuan didn't withdraw his hand suddenly.
Under the dissatisfied gaze of the two, he suddenly smiled. It seems that from the restlessness just now, it has changed back to the current calmness:
"You two, if anyone can use this fairy stone, why did He Lianfeng, the sword madman, die? He has already become a grand master!"
Zhou Qinghe looked at him suspiciously: "You mean—"
"If you two don't believe me, you can give it a try."
As a result, the stone was in the hands of the two of them, and it turned out to be ordinary. No matter what they did, they couldn't find any clues.
The two had no choice but to turn their suspicious eyes to Yuan Buwei.
"Second Master Bai, do you still remember? Not long ago, on the way to Anyang City, I personally demonstrated how to use it to you."
As soon as Second Master Bai was reminded by him, he suddenly remembered something.
That was when the head of Yan Shao's bodyguard was still in the Bai family's convoy. Someone attacked the convoy. Everyone was nearly buried in the wilderness, but the other party suddenly made a sound.
But how much did he look at the attacker? After a while, the head of Yan Shao's bodyguard seemed to have seen everything about the opponent. The loopholes and loopholes of every move and every style, even if it is only a very slight omission in the operation of true energy, can be clearly understood in his mouth, and in a few words, he instructed everyone to work together to capture and kill him.
At that time, Second Master Bai thought that Mr. Chi was from a high-ranking family, and that he might have some kind of secret method to gain insights and predict the enemy before him, so he had a lot of experience.
But now that he knew the other party's true identity, he suddenly realized that Chief Yan's bodyguard came from a reckless background, and his most famous skill was the Shocking Sword Technique. Could it be related to the fairy stone
The more Bai Erye thought about it, the more he felt that this guess was reasonable, so he asked bluntly:
"...do you know how to use the fairy stone?"
Yuan Buwei nodded and said: "It's a little superficial. It's just a mistake."
His tone was modest, but the way the other two looked at him was quite different.
Originally, the two of them already regarded this Yan Shao escort leader as a treasure in his pocket, a prisoner waiting to be slaughtered. But after hearing what he said, they realized that unless they were sure of finding a way to use the fairy stone, they really couldn't act rashly and kill the only person who knew the way.
But in the blink of an eye, he resolved his own disadvantageous situation, and survived from a desperate situation. This young guard Yan is also a character!
"What does Young Master Yan want to do?"
The young man coughed twice, with a bleak smile on his lips: "It all started out of greed, and I? The entire family of the Yan family have already paid the price for it. I? Can give me the fairy stone? How can I use it? I can also say, My only request is—to avenge my Yan family."
"Whoever can take revenge, I will give everything to him."
The two heard the meaning of his words, and they seemed to not only pin their hopes on them, they immediately frowned.
Suddenly, Zhou Qinghe's expression changed: "Oh no!"
But there was a loud noise behind him, the courtyard door was knocked open, and several figures came in with loud laughter.
"Brother Zhou, Brother Bai, what kind of treasure did you find? The two of you came to such a remote place together!"
"It's that guy."
Zhou Qinghe's face suddenly became extremely gloomy.
The reason why he let Fang Yunxiao go indifferently was because he knew that there were major "powers" in the city at this time, and the actions of the two of them couldn't be concealed no matter what. At most, others would know about it later.
But as long as they get the fairy stone, what can they do before the others react
What I didn't expect was that now not only was there to grab the fairy stone, but there was also a big living person. Zhou Qinghe would never have known that Yan Shao's bodyguard was still useful. Letting that guy go would at least allow others to find him half an hour later—so, maybe he had already negotiated with the other party, and from the other party Pressing questions in the mouth? Revealing all the secrets.
"... Really? It's a one-step difference, and the whole game is lost!"
It was obvious that he had tried his best to find clues and succeeded in driving people to a desperate situation. Before he could enjoy the sense of accomplishment and satisfaction for a long time, everything was turned upside down.
Thinking of sharing with a group of idiots the fruits of victory that I finally achieved with my clever mind...
He's so angry? Oh!
The author has something to say:
Zhou Qinghe [satisfied]: balabalabalabalabala Didn't expect that all your details were revealed by me
It was not [Shocked]: You, you, you actually...! ! !
(Inside: Yes, you are awesome.)
—emmm The picture is coming out :).
