What exactly does Ning Zhongliu want to do, where is he now, and even what does he look like...
Ye Qingxuan's heart was blank.
But one thing is certain, that is, the destination of this "Tianzhi Sanren" is Wolong Island.
Boarding the ferry alone, Ye Qingxuan went north from Wuling Mansion to Jiangling Mansion, and then went upstream along the river to Xiayang Mansion on the north bank.
Xiayang Mansion is in the northwest of Wolong Island, right in the middle of Kuizhou Mansion and Jiangling Mansion. If Ning Zhongliu comes from Jiangbei, whether it is going to Jiangling Mansion, Wuling Mansion, or directly to Wolong Island, it must pass through here.
In a box of a restaurant near the city gate, Ye Qingxuan leaned against the window, looked at the bustling crowd of people entering the city with a calm expression, and thought about it for himself.
It was noon.
The dozen or so large tables on the second floor were almost full of people, including passing business travelers and local people, and most of them were martial arts figures with fierce looks and weapons.
The convening of the martial arts conference has attracted heroes from all walks of life from all walks of life. Even if they are not qualified to participate in the conference, it is worthwhile to witness the world's top martial arts masters.
Teng Teng Teng.
There was a rushing sound of climbing a building, which attracted the attention of all martial arts figures.
Guided by six or seven gang members with tough appearances, a tough old man with a long gray beard fluttering on his chest walked up the stairs with a serious face.
As soon as he appeared, the local martial artists at several tables on the second floor got up one after another, bowed their hands in salute, and shouted "Lord Lu".
The old man laughed and saluted one after another, but his eyes were looking around. A subordinate who had already been waiting in the restaurant stepped forward and said something in a low voice.
Six or seven men guarded the corridor, the old man leaned outside the curtain, lowered his voice, and said respectfully: "'Xiayang Gang' Lu Bailing begged to see Ye Shaoxia."
Ye Qingxuan sighed secretly, and said lightly: "Come in."
"Of order." The old man lifted the curtain, walked into the box, cupped his hands and said, "I didn't know Ye Shaoxia was here, but my subordinates have neglected me."
"It's okay." Ye Qingxuan smiled lightly, "Ye came here for some private matters, so he didn't bother Lord Lu."
The old man is a local mafia tycoon, "Xiashan Woodman" Lu Bailing, the leader of the "Xiayang Gang".
This "Xiayang Gang" is the local leader of Xiayang Mansion, and secretly they are the secret troops arranged by Jinyiwei of the Southern Dynasty in Jiangbei.
Xiayang Mansion was originally the stronghold of the underworld faction "Wuxia Sect", but because the former head of the "Zhenshan Tiger" Qin Zhao colluded with Fengyi Pavilion, he betrayed his adoptive father "Halberd Monster" Xing Aotian and opposed the Southern Dynasty.
After the establishment of the Southern Dynasties, Xiayang Mansion's geographical location was extremely important, and it naturally became an important location for the Southern Dynasties' strategy. The "Wuxia Sect" also became the key target of the Southern Dynasties.
After several suppressions, the "Wuxia faction" split severely. The deputy leader "Xiashan woodcutter" Lu Bailing led most of the gang members to form the "Xiayang Gang", while the leader Qin Zhao led the people to leave Xiayang Mansion and go to Sansheng Island .
With the secret support of the Southern Dynasties, Lu Bailing vigorously developed the "Xiayang Gang", whose power has already surpassed that of the "Wuxia School".
It can be said that this "Xiayang Gang" is directly under the supervision of Jinyiwei, so Lu Bailing called his subordinates in front of Ye Qingxuan.
After Ye Qingxuan entered the city, he didn't contact any of his own troops, but he didn't expect that the "Xiayang Gang" had some skills to discover his whereabouts.
Lu Bailing smiled, and hurriedly said: "Young Xia Ye came here alone, he must have important things to do, I dare not disturb you, but..." At the end, his tone eased and his face showed embarrassment.
Ye Qingxuan smiled slightly and said, "But what's the problem?"
"It's not that our gang encountered a difficult problem, but that our gang got a difficult news!" Lu Bailing said.
"Oh? Let's hear it." Ye Qingxuan originally didn't want to interfere with any other matters, but if there were any strange news, it might be related to Ning Zhongliu.
Lu Bailing sighed, and said: "Since the identity of Zhuo Huifan's Demon Sect was exposed, the power of Fengyi Pavilion has plummeted, and its high-level figures have long since died and fled. The masters of Fengyi Pavilion appeared in Xiayang Mansion, and even the old nuns who had been practicing hard in Xifeng Pavilion appeared one after another, their whereabouts were extremely secretive. When the martial arts conference was about to be held, Fengyi Pavilion and our side Same as water and fire, the old man was ready to report the news as soon as he got the news, he didn't want to meet Ye Shaoxia here, so he came here to report, and please show Ye Shaoxia."
The ascetic monk of Fengyi Pavilion!
Ye Qingxuan frowned upon hearing this.
The internal structure of Fengyi Pavilion has always been divided into inner door and outer door. Disciples from the outer sect can get married, and their husbands and sons-in-law are priests of all levels, and the Nine Dragon Palace is the top consecratory master; but the inner sect has never been allowed to get married, and the masters voluntarily shave their hair to become nuns when they reach a certain age. As a practitioner, he seldom participates in secular disputes. Even when Zhuo Huifan almost destroyed Fengyi Pavilion, these nuns did not help.
The people Lu Bailing mentioned were undoubtedly these old nuns.
But what was it that made these old nuns go down the mountain
If they want to report the responsibility for the destruction of Fengyi Pavilion, they will naturally not let them go easily. The entire Southern Dynasty will be their enemy, but Fengyi Pavilion, whose strength is mostly destroyed and has already fallen into the altar, really wants to fight with their own side Is the fish dead and the net broken? Or is there another purpose
Will it be...
Their appearance has something to do with Ning Zhongliu
Ye Qingxuan was beating drums in his heart, but he still couldn't let go of the news.
"Master Lu did a good job in this matter." Ye Qingxuan sincerely admired, "I don't know where these teachers are now? How did you find out?"
Lu Bailing said: "This group of people is now gathered on Tietou Ridge in the northwest of Xiayang Mansion, where there is a 'Shuiyue Nunnery'. It is the disciples of our gang who deliver fruits, vegetables and food to the nunnery every month. Originally There is a quota of food in the nunnery, but recently the disciple suddenly discovered that the demand for food and vegetables has skyrocketed. Out of curiosity, he spied on this group of people. Because the disciple recognized a high-level Fengyi Pavilion, he reported it to the old man to observe It took a few days before the identity was finally confirmed."
Ye Qingxuan pondered for a while, and finally said in a deep voice: "This matter is not allowed to be reported for the time being, and I will discuss it after I investigate. Lord Lu, please strictly keep your mouth shut and don't let it out."
"This old man understands." Lu Bailing replied with a solemn expression.
Ye Qingxuan asked the direction of Mingshuiyue Temple, took out an ingot of grained silver, put it on the table, cupped his hands slightly, and then floated out of the window and disappeared into the crowded crowd.
Back then, Zhuo Huifan tried his best but failed to invite the masters from Qifeng Pavilion. The chances of them becoming enemies with him should not be high, but when they showed up at this time, it was very likely that they came for the "Martial Arts Conference".
Even if these people are not enemies, they are definitely not friends.
If they were to collude with Youlong Gang or Nine Dragon Palace again, it would undoubtedly greatly shake the balance among the major forces.
Don't relax.
