The flames crackled, and the secret room was silent.

It has been two hours since the order to intercept the various waterways came out, and there is no news to return. Ning Tiancheng stood against the wall, the shadow on the stone wall was scorching hot and the dull light was pulling and shaking, just like he was uneasy in his heart.

Suddenly, the secret door opened and the voice sounded, and two masters of the peak of the gods stepped forward one after the other.

The bearded master at the beginning carefully glanced at the top of his head, took two steps closer, transmitted his voice into the secret, and whispered back.

However, before the words were finished, the young man sitting in the room was already furious, slapped his palm on the chair, and suddenly stood up: "Trash!"

The person who replied was startled and bowed his head in panic.

Ning Tiancheng was at the door, raised his eyes silently, and looked at the young man.

The man twisted his eyebrows and flicked the pen and paper on the case, and walked out from behind the table, a brocade robe with flowing cloud patterns flowing through the moonlight-like light patterns under the jumping firelight, and it was romantic and precious.

His appearance also stood out a little bit from the dazzling light. He was handsome, suave and unrestrained. He was none other than the current master of Zheng Yuchen, Zheng Yuchen.

"How is the situation at Longzhang Waterfall?"

Zheng Yuchen's gloomy gaze swept to the other master behind the beard.

The master's body trembled slightly, as if he was very afraid of the master who was not as powerful as his own in martial arts. Hearing the words, he hurriedly replied: "Master, there are several masters of Dingdan and Hanshen who attacked the sword furnace of Longzhang Waterfall. , Senior Li took the initiative to take the initiative, annihilated all of them with God, and the three Dingdans were killed, injured and escaped."

Zheng Yuchen frowned, slightly surprised: "With Senior Li's shot, there are still people who escaped?"

"Senior Li said that there was a mysterious person who was suspected to be immortal," the expert said truthfully. "Fortunately, the mysterious person didn't entangle and left after saving someone. Senior Li was worried about the sword furnace and never chased after him."

"Youxian?"

Zheng Yuchen was suddenly startled, her mind trembled, her complexion changed slightly in the next moment, and she shook her head slightly: "No, it won't be a wandering immortal. If Xie has a wandering immortal, even if it is only half a step. You Xian will help you, and he will never flee without a fight, so we will chase every step of the way."

" Even if this person is not a wandering immortal, if he can get out of his body after saving someone from Senior Li's hands, he must be eccentric and should not be underestimated."

"Who is the person he rescued?" Zheng Yuchen asked.

The master said, "Xie Zixuan. The other two Dingdans, the one who caught the dead was Yu Qing, a Dingdan master who had disappeared for many years."

Zheng Yuchen lifted his forehead with some headache, and said solemnly, "Immediately seal the city."

"Xie Chengyun ran so swiftly and didn't want us to meet head-on, presumably because the news had already been passed on, Xie Tianying was extremely difficult to intercept, and the speed was extremely fast, I am afraid it would be impossible to intercept the news already."

The matter has come to this point, it is useless to talk more, Chongguan's anger faded, Zheng Yuchen said with a gloomy expression: "However, the first group to get the news will only be the world's leading faction in Jiangnan, and it will not be too early to come. Many, we spent at least one day and one night, all those bed bugs, mice and ants that were hiding in Jinling City waiting for an opportunity were caught out and crushed to death."

He paused for a moment, his eyes were ruthless, and he tilted his head and said, "This, since Xie Chengyun can't be stopped, let's use all the Baili Shui Gang's hidden stakes, whether it's alienation or delaying chaos, Let the Baili Shui Gang gather people into the city as late as possible, and the fewer people the better."

"Yes!"

Several people in the secret room immediately followed the order and left quickly.

Ning Tiancheng glanced at the backs of those who were away from him, took a step closer to the secret room, and said in a low voice, "Master Zheng, the news has been leaked, we have no way to deal with it at this time, we can only delay, Is this situation still unchangeable?"

"Or do you mean that His Majesty has a backhand long ago, so you are not afraid of being exposed?"

Zheng Yuchen glanced at Ning Tiancheng coldly: "Your Majesty has a backer in all the famous families, and he can't resist the general trend of the world. It is rumored that the dragon's veins will be exhausted and the emperor's sword will be recast. Those wandering immortals who can't find them will intervene, what kind of means do you think can stop them?"

Ning Tiancheng was stunned for a moment, and immediately said anxiously, "Then, Lord Zheng, if we don't run for our lives quickly, why are we still waiting here?"

Looking condescendingly at Ning Tiancheng bending over and kneeling, with a look of fear and hopelessness, Zheng Yuchen felt contempt in his heart.

Originally, the target he chose to transform into a puppet was Ning Tiancheng's precious son Ning Shou, and he didn't want the woman Zhao Lingrui to bump into when he was casting a secret technique on Ning Shou. The woman's realm is not high, her strength is extremely strong, and she has many means. He can't, so he can only hurriedly interrupt the secret method and escape in a hurry.

When the plan failed, he planned to find another suitable target in Ning. He didn't want it to be a coincidence. When Ning Tiancheng was in retreat, he heard about Ningshou.  The appearance is not obvious, but the inside has suffered severe internal injuries.

When Ning's eyeliner reported the incident, Zheng Yuchen did not hesitate to sneak into Ning's mansion under the escort of his own masters, and quietly went to Jinling City's powerful Ning. ‌The Lord turned into a puppet in his own hands.

‌Because of Ning Tiancheng's strength, there is still a big gap between Zheng Yuchen‌‌, so this puppet is quite difficult to control, and it is definitely not handy, even compared to its puppet, Ning. Tiancheng, the puppet, "takes medicine" more frequently, because once he relaxes, he may face the risk of losing control of the puppet.

After all, this kind of secret method to control the puppet is not a puppet-like manipulation all the time, but more reflected in the influence of the mind.

However, although Ning Tiancheng is difficult to control, for Zheng Yuchen, it is indeed much easier to use than Ning Shou. One master and one less master, even an idiot knows how to choose.

Zheng Yuchen scoffed, "Look, I scared you."

He lowered his eyelids, raised his eyebrows and said, "There is no way to stop You Xian, unless it is another You Xian."

Ning Tiancheng was a little confused: "What do you mean, Beidoutian is going to take action?"

"idiot."

Zheng Yuchen scolded: "Beidoutian has a lot of retreats, how can he easily get out of the customs? Besides, Beidoutian never approves of His Majesty's desire to use the sword of the emperor to travel to the fairyland."

"That is?"

Suddenly, Ning Tiancheng was stunned for a while, and he shouted in a low voice, "—Your Majesty?!"

"This, this is not the last sword of the Son of Heaven. This sword is forged, and His Majesty will soon become a wandering immortal? But, but the sword furnace has only been opened for a long time, how can it be so fast..." Ning Tiancheng was shocked by his own guess.

Zheng Yuchen smiled meaningfully: "Before the sword furnace was opened, the old tradition of offering sacrifices to the river gods had already started all over the south of the Yangtze River. Where are the people who fed the river gods? The flaws are very big, how could Your Majesty not know it?"

"There are many guesses by others. His Majesty only said that he wants to use the sword of the emperor to become a wandering immortal, but he never said that this sword is the sword of the emperor of the next week."

The worried look on Ning Tiancheng's face immediately disappeared, he didn't seem to realize that Zheng Yuchen's answer didn't really answer his question, he frowned: "So, it really just needs to delay the deal. Well, it doesn't seem to be scary."

Zheng Yuchen glanced at Ning Tiancheng: "There's nothing to fear."

He lifted his robes and sat down, poured a cup of tea slowly, and said indifferently: "The news of the dragon's sword casting has come out, even if the entire Central Plains martial arts and the entire Great Xia Dynasty came to denounce His Majesty, it would be fine. They just shouted loudly. It’s amazing, if your Majesty really fits the Emperor’s sword and ascends to the Immortal Immortal despite their great efforts, they will definitely not oppose His Majesty so resolutely.”

"The so-called retrograde action, the so-called Li's luck, do you really care when these big sects are entrenched in one thousand and one hundred?"

"The world has four temples and two temples, and the six major factions and seven generations all dared to block when His Majesty was unsuccessful. When His Majesty succeeded, these great forces that controlled the entire river and lake would be able to remain the same as before. Shaking is no more than the number of palms."

"After all, the matter is a foregone conclusion, no matter how angry you are, what can you do? Is it possible that you really need multiple Youxian to take action together to kill His Majesty? Not to mention whether Beidoutian will agree, whether Li will agree, it is since ancient times. The detached status of the immortals established by them will not allow them to act easily."

"Killing You Immortal and killing Half-Step You Immortal are completely different things."

"At that time, these world leaders will only make one decision, and that is to join hands to force Your Majesty to make up for their faults and make up for the people, whether it is to change the decree, or to cut taxes or build water conservancy, it is just a small matter. already."

What Zheng Yuchen knew and knew was completely beyond his rank, and no one thought it was weird.

He possesses the secret method of puppetry taught by Li Wu himself. Although his martial arts are not high, his wisdom and knowledge are by no means ordinary. Although Zheng Yuchen has not mentioned it explicitly, Ning Tiancheng can still see from his few words that even though Li Wu's chess pieces are all over the world and numerous, Zheng Yuchen can still be regarded as a very important one. .

"So, we only need to drag it to Jiancheng, the emperor of the sword furnace, and everyone is happy?" Ning Tiancheng confirmed again in disbelief.

Zheng Yuchen responded ambiguously, took a sip of tea, didn't bother to pay any attention to him, turned to face someone and said, "Then Yuqing came from Longzhang Waterfall, right?"

Someone bowed: "Bring it here, Lord."

"You take two people and go through the trial. It has been rumored early on that they were recruited by a big world when they retired to the world during their heyday. Now it seems that the rumors are not bad, this world is not bad. It is Xie. Pry his mouth well, he has been a guest minister in Xie so many times, he will always know something we want to know." Zheng Yuchen said.

After giving the order, Zheng Yuchen thought of something, paused, and then asked, "Is Ye Wanwan still waiting in the garden of the study?"

At the secret door not far from Ning Tiancheng, a man dressed as a guard heard the voice and replied, "Go back to the Lord, I'm still waiting, I haven't left."

Zheng Yuchen's eyes showed a bit of a different color.

At this chaotic time, I bribed the maid to go to the vicinity of the study, and only sat in the garden's hand porch, watching flowers and drinking tea. I waited for more than two hours. Is this really my successor tomorrow?  Worry about the Lord, or have other plans?

"What about Zhao Lingrui?" Zheng Yuchen asked.

The guard said: "I left in the evening, and I haven't returned yet."

Zheng Yuchen nodded slightly, and did not ask the other two women any further. No one else knew, but he naturally knew that the two women were Dingdan masters who were sent by Li Wu to protect him. Only the two uninvited guests, Ye Wanwan and Zhao Lingrui, were the most suspicious.

"Using the tracking technique to bring people back," Zheng Yuchen pondered, "As soon as the action of closing the city comes out, Jinling City is bound to change, and these little grasshoppers have to be brought in front of them, and the details can be checked out one by one. People are at ease."

As he said that, he looked at Ning Tiancheng, who had been standing in a respectful posture, and got up and said, "Lord Ning will need to assist in the closure of the city later, but for now, Lord Ning will return to Ning first. ‌, mobilize manpower and prepare more."

"If the Baili Shui Gang wants to enter the city, Ning has to stop him first. A dog with no value will not please its master."

Ning Tiancheng bowed deeply and answered again and again.

Zheng Yuchen withdrew his gaze, walked into the secret door with a guard without looking back, and disappeared.

The night was dark and the breeze was blowing.

The Chaoshou Veranda on the side of the Zhengfu Garden is connected to a small pavilion by the lake. Chu Yunsheng sat in the pavilion, looking at the lake full of green leaves and red lotus, and refilled a cup of tea.

He had been sitting here for two full hours, and in the middle was the time he had agreed with Mu Yuexin to save people and return, and he never got up and left.

During these two hours, he internally urged to grind the medicinal materials he had taken before, prepared them one by one according to a certain proportion, kneaded them into fine powder, and poured tea cup by cup.

At first, he poured tea very quickly, and he was also very fast in drinking tea. As time passed, his movements gradually slowed down and stabilized. When the medicinal powder was ready, the teapot bottomed out, far away. When Zheng Yuchen walked out of the study, Chu Yunsheng's mind was as calm as his behavior.

"Miss Ye?"

Zheng Yuchen walked closer, as if he had just sensed the existence of Chu Yunsheng, and said in surprise, "It's the end of summer, and it's even more exposed, why is Miss Ye enjoying the scenery here?"

Chu Yunsheng calmly observed Zheng Yuchen's expression, and said, "I heard that Zheng Shaoqing will fight against Zheng Shaoqing's enemy tomorrow, and I was worried and did not dare to disturb him, so I came here to wait. , I hope to meet the Lord Zheng."

Zheng Yuchen stepped into the pavilion, looking at Chu Yunsheng with affection in his eyes: "Meet me?"

Chu Yunsheng took out a package of medicinal powder that he had prepared and handed it to Zheng Yuchen: "I have a rough understanding of pharmacology, and I can make some powders to stop bleeding and nourish qi. I know that Master Zheng does not lack such medicines, and all he has is Probably better than what I can do, I have nothing and that's all I can talk about."

Everything in Zheng 's mansion could not be concealed from Zheng Yuchen. Chu Yunsheng took the medicinal materials and made medicinal powder here, and he naturally knew all about it.

  Unexpectedly, this powder was actually meant to be given to him.

"Thank you Miss Ye for your kindness."

Zheng Yuchen raised his hand. He never took the medicine bag with his own hands. Instead, the guard behind him stepped forward and brought it.

Seeing this, Chu Yunsheng glanced at the guard, pretended to frown, and didn't say much.

"The things have been delivered, nothing else..."

When he got up, Chu Yunsheng was about to leave.

Zheng Yuchen didn't seem to want to let him go just like that, but raised his hand to stop him and said with a gentle smile, "Miss Ye doesn't have to hurry back, I heard that Miss Ye came back at dusk and hasn't eaten yet. I'm also busy at this hour, and the water hasn't come in yet, why don't you and I have a meal in the flower hall together?"

Chu Yunsheng pressed his eyebrows and deliberately showed a hint of surprise. He pretended to hesitate for a moment before he nodded and said, "It's better to be respectful than to obey."

Zheng Yuchen looked at the change in Chu Yunsheng's expression, and the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened: "Miss Ye, please."

The guards followed, and the two walked side by side, through the veranda, and soon came to the flower hall where the meal was served.

The dinner was already prepared according to Zheng Yuchen's instructions, but after being seated, Zheng Yuchen was not in a hurry to serve the food, but sent a few servants to the East and West Hospital and invited three other girls to come with him. Have a late night snack.

Chu Yunsheng performed a just right kind of jealousy, so he no longer reacted, but secretly measured the meaning of Zheng Yuchen's move.

Ever since he first saw Zheng Yuchen, he has been quietly scrutinizing the new lord, and paying more attention to the arms covered by his robe sleeves—when Mu Yuexin first came to test him, he mentioned One sentence, be careful of the person with the blood-red ghost face tattoo on the inside of his arm - considering the situation at that time and after that, this is the person who Mu Yuexin or Ji Ling ran into near Longzhang Waterfall to cast the puppet secret technique on Ning Shou. one of the characteristics.

However, whether it was intentional or unintentional, Zheng Yuchen's wide sleeves had always been a tight-fitting, narrow-sleeved shirt.

In addition to this, Chu Yunsheng noticed another point, and that was Zheng Yuchen's reaction to her waiting for him.

And the answer to this observation is simple.

Zheng Yuchen no longer concealed his doubts about him, and even the act of his three daughters calling for a meal was most likely an act of misunderstanding.

This also proves from the side that Zheng Yuchen should have already received the news that the secret of Longzhang Waterfall has been exposed, so he suddenly lost his patience and called four women in the middle of the night when his temperament did not match his normal temperament. Disrespectful act of eating together.

Obviously, this is a sudden feast of Hongmen.

Chu Yun's voice is clear, this fragrant Hongmen banquet can still be regarded as calm and peaceful, and the real place of blood and blood should be in the Zheng Mansion. If Zheng Yuchen wasn't stupid, he must have ordered the city to be locked down.

But this is just a futile lingering. Xie Tianying has already passed the news half a day ago, and no one can stop him. He and Xie and everyone will be waiting for help soon, so for now they just need to live. , procrastination is enough.

Thinking of this, Chu Yunsheng suddenly froze and frowned.

wrong.

Zheng Yuchen knew that no matter what he did, the outcome of his resistance was already doomed, so why was he so relaxed and calm at this time? If the famous sects in the south of the Yangtze River come with all their strength, they can arrive in just one day. If they don't delay and escape now, it will be difficult for him to escape until dawn.

Chu Yunsheng looked at Zheng Yuchen, and he didn't sense any anxiety from his expression. This was definitely not a fake.

Li Wu and Zheng Chen still have backers, or did Zheng Yuchen arrange everything and leave in no hurry?

However, no matter what kind of thing, at least Zheng Yuchen, who is suspected to be in charge of Jiangnan affairs for Li Wu, can't escape safely. To capture a thief, you must first capture the king.

Chu Yunsheng calmly looked away.

Not long after, the sound of footsteps from far and near came from the flower hall, and three shadowy maids led them into the flower hall.

Chu Yunsheng's eyes swept across Qian and Ling, the two masters of Ding Dan in Mu Yue's heart, and finally looked at Mu Yuexin.

Mu Yuexin glanced at each other, gave a look of peace of mind that everything was accomplished, and called out three times to the three of them with enthusiasm, elder sister, and called elder brother Yuchen cheerfully, before she sat down gracefully. to the room.

A series of exquisite and delicious meals were sent into the hall like water.

The five people sat around the round table and exchanged a few words, Mu Yuexin immediately put on a naive and confused look, and asked straight to the point: "Brother Yuchen, I just came back from the night market and I want to rest. I didn't wash the dust, so I called you here in the middle of the night for dinner, why did you suddenly remember this one?"

Zheng Yuchen glanced at Mu Yuexin with a smile, and sighed: "To be honest with the girls, tomorrow, when my father is at the funeral, I have to settle the grievances of my father's generation and fight against many famous martial arts legends. The life and death of this battle are unpredictable, and I'm afraid tonight. It's the last time I see a few girls, so I take the liberty to interrupt and invite a few girls to come over and talk."

"There are still such rules?"

Mu Yuexin's acting skills are natural, and Xingyan exclaimed with wide eyes: "Speaking of which, I have heard about this from my father, but most of the grievances and grievances are extinguished, and few really disturb the juniors. I also It’s only because this matter is rare, I didn’t expect Zheng Shaoqing to do good deeds all his life, there are so many enemies who are unwilling to let go of their grievances even to death…”

Chu Yunsheng raised his eyes and saw Zheng Yuchen's face turn green when he heard this.

It is said that the master of Zheng has done good deeds all his life and is a well-known person of great kindness. Why does someone have to accept the rules of the rivers and lakes and fight against the younger generation regardless of their status, making people feel uneasy when they enter the earth?

The contradiction in this  , but it makes people have to think more.

Mu Yuexin is stabbing someone with a soft knife.

In the end, the city was quite deep, and Zheng Yuchen's face changed only for a moment, and the next moment he smiled gently as if he had never heard of it, and changed the subject: "I, the junior, don't know about the previous generation. Tonight, please four This girl came here not because of any sympathy, but just to have a drink with the United States."

"Thank you to the four girls for showing their faces. Come, let's drink this cup full."

The liquor is clean and clear.

Zheng Yuchen raised his glass, and no one refuted his face during the banquet. For a moment, the wine was fragrant.

After three rounds of drinking, Zheng Yuchen personally arranged the dishes for Qian and Ling, and when they heard Chu Yun's voice, the chopsticks suddenly stopped, and only an unintentional voice sounded softly: "Miss Ye, during the day today, ‌Is there anything to gain from visiting Jinling City?"

Chu Yunsheng raised his eyes and looked at Zheng Yuchen.

The four eyes met, a smile gentle and calm.

"Jinling's beautiful and delicious food is the harvest." Chu Yunsheng knew the meaning of Zheng Yuchen's words, and still answered casually.

Zheng Yuchen raised his eyebrows, suddenly threw his hand and put down his chopsticks, and sighed: "Miss Ye doesn't want to say it, so let's not say it. I'm not a rude person, I have to ask one, two, three, or four."

"It's just that after tonight, Zheng  will become too many people in Jinling City who are enemies and not friends, and they will also be divided into subordinates. They will be incapable of dealing with them. Therefore, for those who can't tell whether they are friends or enemies, and relying on their backs Whoever, who has any purpose, will have to be beaten to death with one shot, and there will be no future troubles."

The gentle smile that seemed to be painted on the face finally faded away, revealing the gloomy and cold inside, Zheng Yuchen glanced coldly at Chu Yunsheng and Mu Yuexin, and said with regret: "It's a pity, I always feel that You two are by no means ordinary, there must be secrets, I am very curious, and now I can't wait for them to dig out carefully."

"Heart-melting grass, highly poisonous."

Zheng Yuchen laughed and said, "With the amount you only drank, even in the later stage of Ding Dan, you will be unable to recover. You should have gradually felt your limbs numb, and you can't move. There is still half an hour left, if anyone is willing to satisfy my curiosity, I will talk about her secrets, then there will be a chance of survival."

"Miss Ye, what do you think?"

While talking, the two women, Qian and Ling, no longer concealed it, and quietly got up and swept behind Chu Yunsheng and Mu Yuexin, in case they had something special and were never poisoned.

Zheng Yuchen stared at Chu Yunsheng with great interest. He recognized that he had the biggest and most interesting secret, and he was looking forward to Chu Yunsheng's answer.

However, he couldn't see any panic and fear on Chu Yunsheng's face, and he couldn't wait for Chu Yunsheng to cry and beg for mercy. Instead, he heard something very familiar.

"Since Lord Zheng is so open and candid, then I can't hide it any longer. Lord Zheng, you have more than a minute left before the poisonous attack. If you can answer my question honestly, be honest with Zheng Li. Wu's secret, that means you still have a chance."

Chu Yunsheng glanced at Zheng Yuchen calmly, then raised his hand to hold the wine glass, and lowered his head to take a sip: "Heart-melting grass, colorless and tasteless, can't be called a strange poison."

Zheng Yuchen was stunned.

The girl behind Chu Yunsheng's eyes narrowed, and she was so angry that she directly slapped it with a palm, and she wanted to smash Chu Yunsheng's heavenly spirit into pieces.

At this moment, a thin cool breeze suddenly blew from the back of her neck, she turned her head to look, and saw only a splash of blood.

"Snapped!"

A big head rolled to the ground.

Zheng Yuchen suddenly turned her head, and saw the delicate Zhao girl in his eyes slowly stand up, and stretched out her hand towards Chu Yunsheng with a slightly stiff movement: "Little girl has a lot of heart, if you don't give me the antidote in advance, then Are you waiting for me to rescue you at this time?"

"you!"

Zheng Yuchen was terrified, stood up abruptly and wanted to flee, shouting for help, just took two steps with Qinggong, and suddenly felt his eyes tingling, raised his hand and touched it, full of blood.

Countless footsteps poured into the flower hall in an instant.

Zheng Yuchen stared at Chu Yun in horror: "When did you poison me!"

Chu Yunsheng took out a pill from the porcelain bottle he had prepared earlier, and handed it to Mu Yuexin. At the same time, he slid two knives into his hands, got up and explained kindly: "The medicine bag is like a sachet, and everything you smell is poison. I don't want to die,They blocked the sword furnace and let Xie people out of the city."

Zheng Yuchen's face was covered in blood, extremely hideous, and said angrily: "Don't think about the poisonous woman! I wish uncle and old man, please take action, kill them for me, and get the antidote!"

When the words fell, the momentum of the two peaks of Dingdan suddenly exploded in the flower hall, the wind in the courtyard was quiet, and the night dawned with thunder.

The realm gap is too big, this infuriating rush, Chu Yunsheng's chest is tight, and there is a fishy sweetness in his throat.

There are such powerful masters by Zheng Yuchen's side!
