In the early morning of February, the air was still a little cool. A group of people were exercising in the open space between the courtyards of the inn. On this side, Ning Yi punched and chatted with Zhu Biao, who was wielding a long spear. On the steps a little ahead, Xiaochan sat there with Ning Xi who was moving around, smiling and saying something to the child in a low voice from time to time.
"...I really want to say Jiangning, Qinhuaihe is still very famous, this time has passed, Zhubiao, if you want to go, I can find someone to take you to play... Having said that, I heard that you met a few girls from the Wang family, The impression is not bad, did I call you out like this, did it ruin your marriage?"
Holding the bird's tail, raising the hand, and single whip... Ning Yi played Tai Chi slowly and leisurely, looking like a grandmaster. As for the way Zhu Biao was wielding a long spear, it seemed a bit tricky.
"A man and a man, how can he delay the business for his children's affairs? Brother Ning, I'm very curious about Qin Huaihe, but this time south, are there some powerful masters who can see it?"
"Your brain is full of muscles, Zhu Biao, don't keep saying things that only supporting roles say... Jiang Ning, there may be some market experts who really want to say that, but you have to say the really powerful ones, the experts in the land of peace. Usually, they eat official meals, and if they want to break in, they are all affected by the chaos in Fang La. You went to Hangzhou more than a year ago, and just a few people can beat you to the north. Now... tsk."
"People who practice martial arts should fight against the masters before they improve. I wish Biao would not be afraid!" Is it really that great?"
"Of course. At the time, the seven Buddhas under Sheng Gong Fang La's command were Chen Fan. The other four marshals were Shi Bao, Deng Yuanjue, Li Tianrun, and Si Xingfang. In comparison, his martial arts are only high but not low, and there is also Shangshu Wang Yin. I have never seen him make a move, but I heard that his martial arts are close to Fang La, mainly because he is smart. , Twenty-four generals, although it may be a bit difficult to match the truth on the battlefield, but when it comes to martial arts, they should all be able to stand on their own. Until now, it's really... brush-all gone."
Ning Yi sighed, recalling what happened in Hangzhou at the time, with some emotion. certainly. This is also because those people were defeated, but he is still living well now. Compared with the hundreds of leaders who shouted out on Liangshan, the uprising in Jiangnan Nanla was far too loud. Not to mention the elites of the green forest, at least half of the southern green forest was affected.
Some of the eight hussars, the twelve gods, and the twenty-four generals were overshadowed by him. But really speaking, among the small and medium-sized leaders of Liangshan, there are not many who can be stronger than this group of people. And such a big battle was when he dealt with Liangshan last year. It has already hit the beach like a wave, and then shattered into snowflakes.
"... Shi Bao was defeated and surrounded by Li Tianrun after he left Hangzhou. Li Tianrun was killed in Qingxi, Si Xingfang was killed by Xin Xingzong, and Wang Yin was both civil and military, but like Deng Yuanjue, he had no leadership ability. After the war, the two disappeared. If you die, you will be crippled. Fang Baihua is the only one left. Although she is a great heroine, she is a woman after all. If her brother and family are dead, she will have no energy... This time, even if we really want to help Wen Wen. You can't see any masters. Of course, you may be able to meet Fang Qifo, but I heard that he has been abandoned..."
During Ning Yi's speech, other people who were exercising not far away were also listening. These people were all guards or servants who took the name of the Secret Investigation Division. Since Liangshan's return, Ning Yi has arranged more than 40 people who can be used by his side, nearly 50 people. This time, there are more than 20 people in Muyuan County. A small number of them are the original guards of the Su family, some are trustworthy Jianghu people who work for money, and the other is the manpower allocated to him by Qin Siyuan in the Secret Investigation Division—in addition to this, there are many others. A member who can be transferred, but works elsewhere on weekdays.
As a mere staff member, gathering more than 50 guards for the safety of the people around him is quite easy to be accused of. After all, even if Qin Siyuan is the right minister, there are only a dozen or so guards who go out in the open or secretly on weekdays. But Ning Yi's situation, there is really no way. After the name of the demon is spread, even in the capital, people will be found one after another within a few months, even if most of them are miscellaneous fish who want to be famous. I also know if a great master will suddenly come, just like the monk Tunyun who has forged a grudge and is still alive, he must be prepared.
It took a lot of effort to gather these people, mainly because he had money to spend, but Ning Yi didn't arrange it casually. The original family guard of the Su family can be trusted. Among the Jianghu people, try to choose the stupid and honest ones, and the reliability is also selected and filtered. As for the people arranged by the Secret Investigation Division, all the people in the past were with Ning Yi. have worked together.
After learning from them, Ning Yi treated them well and treated them like family members. He also arranged for masters like Yan Qing, Lu Junyi, and Zhu Biao to train with them. On the other hand, although Ning Yi treated them very well in all aspects. Yes, the rules and regulations that you really need to pay attention to on weekdays are still quite strict. This management method was originally Ning Yi's forte, and since most of these people knew what Ning Yi had done, no one dared to despise him in front of him despite being cordial.
The name of the inner demon is now spread in the martial arts, and it is a really powerful demon. Everyone has heard of the events in Hangzhou. After that, many people participated in the process of the collapse of Liangshan. Ning Yi's kindness can make everyone feel warm, but there is also a majesty in it at any time, and no one wants to face the appearance of this scholar when he is really angry. What's more, there is the great master Lu Hongti behind him.
On the one hand, working under Ning Yi, on the other hand, is to exercise and win over at any time. This is the team that Ning Yi will arrange by his side in the future. But despite how trustworthy their loyalty is, they can't be of much help in Fang Qifo's case. Even if he is as daring as Zhu Biao, Ning Yi can't ask him to help rescue Fang Qifo. Yi rejected Chen Fan's reason - there was no one in his hands who could be involved in this matter. Of course, if only to meet in the past. then it doesn't matter.
If it was really possible for them to obey Ning Yi's orders to rescue Fang Qifo and other rebels, it would be at least three or five years later. It's time for Ning Yi's control to penetrate every inch of this collective of interests...
At this time, he pointed Jiang Shan about these things, and Zhu Biao occasionally asked about the lineup under Fang La's back then. However, the young man's sigh naturally doesn't need to be taken too seriously. After a while, Zhu Biao was already energized, waving the steel gun in his hand like a dragon, whistling wildly.
This kind of performance made Ning Xi, who was under the eaves not far away, quite happy, and even looked at Zhu Biao and waved her little hands to applaud. He doesn't know much pronunciation these days. In his mouth: "Ah... bla..." He laughed and shouted. Ning Yi withdrew from the taijiquan frame, and came over to hug him rather unhappily: "It's okay to applaud, but it's not okay to shout daddy. After teaching you for so long, you still can't shout, stinky boy..."
He picked Ning Xi up and saw his father come over. Now the child, who is already very good at recognizing people, waved his hand even more happily. He touched Ning Yi's face with his small mouth, and smeared his saliva on it: "Bah dah… let's go!" Ning Yi laughed again.
During their respective exercises over there, many people whispered about the situation in Jiangnan at this time, and some people smiled and said to Zhu Biao that the name of the demon in the green forest is now enough to be compared with Shenggong and others. If you really put it out, you can scare a bunch of people, and Zhu Biao also echoed it with a smile. In fact, this is not yy. Most of the Secret Investigation Division have contact with Jianghu people. After Liangshan was destroyed. In the green forest, the name Heart Demon really has a great deterrent power.
Some people will put demons in the category of evil sects. But the people in the Secret Investigation Division don't care. Many people are still deliberately talking about it. The background of the demon is the high level of our court, and they are even directly responsible for us. Poliangshan's record, coupled with the profound imperial background, in the hearts of Lulin people, this title is faintly more ferocious than several chief arresting officers of the Criminal Department.
While everyone was joking, the morning exercise had actually come to an end, not long after Ning Yi held the child and chatted with them for a few days, he said with a smile, "My martial arts skills are low, and the name of this demon is fake. If it's possible, I don't want it either. Everyone knows that Ning is a human being, and those people humiliate me, it really shouldn't be... Also, look, Xiao Xi is so cute, so what kind of little devil could she be, right? Xi."
At this time, his martial arts are actually not low, and of course not top-notch, but many people who have seen Ning Yi's work think in their hearts: Hangzhou Fang La has been put together, and Liang Shan has been reversed when he has the most advantage. Why did tens of thousands of people die, and most of them were killed by their own people? Song Jiang was disemboweled in front of the battle. If it's really scary, saying you're a devil is not a slander... Of course, he can be so kind in daily life, which is also his charm.
These people's martial arts have been trained by first-class masters for half a year. They originally had a foundation. After half a year's training, they have dealt with several assassination incidents. . After a short rest, they were called to have breakfast. For this trip south to Jiangning, everyone actually didn't have much to worry about. Even if someone really wanted to provoke them, they could easily pass it off.
And probably at the same time, hundreds of miles away from here, watching the camp formed by Fang Qifo's team going north, was looking a little lively and chaotic, and it was gathered towards the camp at this time. There were the dead, the wounded, more than a dozen prisoners who were newly crushed, and there were all kinds of jingling weapons that were collected after the war.
The morning breeze was cool, and the mountains were foggy. As Zong Feixiao watched the prisoners pass by, he also turned his head to look at Fang Qifo, who seemed to be asleep in the prison cart.
But of course he didn't fall asleep.
This is the second group of prisoners who came after the early morning. The first batch was still at night. Those were the prisoners who were captured first after the officers and soldiers were encircled. As for the more than ten people captured in the second batch, most of them were masters. They were not officers and soldiers, but only in the camp. At the door, the two sides made a handover.
Fang Qifo's hair was loose in the prison car, but he should still be paying attention to the whole situation. The fact that these people were caught means that most of the people who came to rescue him have been wiped out. But Zong Feixiao didn't come over to remind him about this to show off, and neither did Tie Tianying. The two gathered together, frowned, and chatted a few words in a low voice.
"... She wants to see Fang Qifo."
"... Not all of them were caught."
"... I heard that it's almost the same, but only a few dozen people escaped. Fang Baihua has been seriously injured... They are more concerned than us, and they will not let this last person go... "
"...I haven't dealt with her. If the other party has other ideas..."
"... Let's be careful, it's hard to tell what their background is now, who knows what will happen if they turn their faces... "
The cuckoo's cry cut through the mist in the valleys in the early morning, and the surrounding shrill voices all entered the prison car, the movement of the camp, the movement of the wind, the movement of the whole world, and the movement of the small prison car. feel. Fang Qifo was sitting there. Feeling these silently, and also quietly feeling the strange situation of the other party, it was not until not long after that, Tie Tianying and Zong Feixiao gathered masters as if they were facing the enemy, and surrounded the prison car, he didn't know that someone was coming.
Too. The other party was able to break away Baihua and the others because someone more powerful had intervened... He opened his eyes slightly in the prison van, and soon after, a small green sedan came from the other side of the field of vision, walking slowly but fast. But it was quiet in this world.
Someone lifted the curtain.
in the prison car. Fang Qifo's slightly narrowed eyes, as if everything had been put aside, trembled slightly.
After a long time, a sigh disturbed the air in the morning mist.
"what… "
****************
The early morning wind blew across the cliff and ironed it from the oversized robe. He stood on this cliff and looked down at the mountains and people that stretched below.
"Magic Buddha" Lin Yechan. As a person who returned after being silent for more than ten years, he still looked serious and silent at this time, but he was enveloped in his fat body, and he also had the aura of a grand master like Yuan Ting Yue Zhi. The new leader of Nepal.
Generally speaking, the peak period of an ordinary person's body usually comes around the age of 30.
But for a martial artist, at the age of 30, his own outlook on life and philosophy has just matured, and he has just begun to look at the world with more in-depth eyes. Come between the age of fifty, at this time, they are omnipotent.
After that, even if a master like Zhou Tong could continuously push his cultivation to a new peak, his physical quality still declined uncontrollably. Even though Zhou Tong at this time was more terrifying than Zhou Tong at the age of fifty, every time he punched, he was already wielding the power of life.
Lin Yechan is forty-seven years old this year.
Before Manichaeism was split, Fang La and others had not launched a mutiny, he was already the protector of Manichaeism and one of the top figures in the arena. But at that time, Fang La and others were really at the height of their power. At that time, there was a synergy between heaven and earth. At that time, Fang Qifo, Fang Baihua, and their martial arts were already quite strong. The masters of the team include Deng Yuanjue, Shi Bao, Bao Daoyi, Liu Dabiao, the first person in the Dao of the Sword at that time, and the entire Ba Dao Zhuang. Although Liu Dabiao, who was comparable to the masters of Sikongnan and Zhou Tong at the time, did not take action during the chaos, Ba Dao Zhuang still showed a huge deterrent power behind Fang La.
Under such circumstances, no matter how high his martial arts skills are, he can only retreat sadly.
During the initial period, Fang La and others had been wary of their comeback, but as Sikongnan said, if Fang La could succeed all the way, they would never appear. Even if Fang La has focused on rebelling over the years, and he has focused on martial arts, as long as Fang La is still in control of the situation, they will never appear again.
Even the ten iron-armed Zhou Tong would not be able to defeat Fang La's army later. There were too many masters under his command.
But God was finally fair. When he reached the peak of his martial arts, the small force of the original Manichaeism hidden in the ground could finally come out. Presumably God wanted him to do something too.
When looking at the scenery below, someone came from behind. It was Wang Nanda. His arm was wrapped in bandages. He reached the edge of the cliff next to him. After standing for a while, he turned his head and spoke.
"Master, what do you do next?"
Wang Nanda's voice was a little rough, but this was the first time he had asked him this way, and there was a bit of joy in his tone. Lin Yechan glanced at him.
"Are you okay?"
"A little scratch, what's the matter." Wang Nanda raised his head, "Of course, I will ask casually. If you have set up a secret with Senior Sister, you don't have to tell me."
"How can there be any secret." Lin Yechan carried his hands on his back, "Fang La and the others have already destroyed Manichaeism to the fullest. We have already agreed with the lord that we will put away the endgame. Brother Zhong, you shouldn't die anymore, whether it's Senior Sister, you or me, after all, we are also people in the teaching, and I don't want to look at the inheritance of hundreds of years and cut it off."
Wang Nanda looked into the distance and didn't say a word. He didn't take care of things very much over the years, but since he asked now, Lin Yechan, who is already the leader of the sect, would not stop talking, and paused for a moment: "But debts always have to be repaid. Yes, the top priority is to kill the last few dozen people. After that, I will reorganize the scattered sects. I have to do a few things to make Manichaeism regain its momentum. Of course, on the bright side, Mani Two words, can't be used."
The mountain wind whistled over, Wang Nantuo nodded, and Lin Yechan's robe sleeves rattled in the wind: "Of course, I want to challenge Zhou Tong."
He carried his hands on his back and his body was like a mountain. This sentence was simple, but Wang Nanda still turned his head and glanced at him. The two did not speak for a while. After the silence passed, Lin Yechan smiled:
"I will release the war book soon. His body is no longer at the peak, and I will not bully him. Within ten moves, the outcome will be decided. Before that, you and I can visit some old acquaintances, and Baihua's affairs will be resolved. After that, there are still some things... Now there is a lot of trouble in the south of the ledger, and we are asked to help... There is a group of heroes in Chi Qiugang, I will go to meet for a while, Tian Hu, I also have an opinion... Recently on the rivers and lakes Qilu Wulin suffered a great loss for the demon that appeared. If I have time to go north, I will deal with it, and Qilu Wulin will naturally return to my heart... These are all small things... "
In the midst of the gust of wind, he casually said the plan in his heart to Wang Nanda for a while, his tone was indifferent, and only a moment later, he looked at the heaven and earth in front of him and sighed.
"Manichaeans have been teaching for so many years, and now this world is not enough, but it can't fall into the name... Lulin still wants..."
In Manichaeism for so many years, when he was the most powerful, he was not the leader. Now that he has reached the peak, the whole shelf has been dismantled, and he can only put away this shelf. In his lifetime, he will be the number one person in Green Forest. The huge body was proud in the wind, closed his eyes, and sighed, but it was quite lonely.
****************
The green sedan chair walked away in the slight morning mist, but the touch of green seemed to still be reflected in his field of vision.
Fang Qifo was sitting in the prison cart. Not many people knew what he was thinking, but the masters of the punishment department who were guarding around finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then it was time to start the camp. There was a cart of swords and swords. Passing over, the cloth covering it fell off, and among the swords, the most conspicuous one was a giant iron blade.
Fang Qifo's gaze swept over it, and then stopped.
Tie Tianying, who was walking beside him, leaned over to pick up the cloth, noticed his gaze, glanced at it, and smiled slightly.
"Master Buddha, what are you looking at?"
…
"I guess it's a tyrant."
…
"Don't think about it, the knife is here, of course people are already dead."
…
"The corpse is in the car over there, but the body of the dead person has been stripped. It's a woman. You look bad, Master Buddha."
…
"It's all like this, don't think about it. I think you've seen the Buddha Shuai these days. It's good... It's good to have nothing to worry about."
…
He threw the cloth onto the car, but did not cover the weapon. He just walked forward with the car and instructed the people next to him: "Don't cover it. Most of them know whose weapon is on it... Look... okay."
All the way forward, his tone is indifferent, and in the back, he is quite unrestrained.
