Before the person next to him had time to answer, that person had already run to the front, gave Ma Jili a deep salute, and reported to his family: "Junior Mingfeng three generations of disciples..."

Mingfeng... Mingfeng Tower?

For a moment, Zhou Fei thought of the story in Yin Pei's mouth in the Hengshan Secret Road for no reason.

In the blink of an eye, she didn't have time to think about the connection, and instinctively raised her gaze to Mount Chūn, but at this moment, there was a flash of silver in the corner of her eyes, and Zhou Fei pushed the person next to her away. When he reacted, the word "wind" had already been rolled out.

Wangchūn Mountain's blade collided with something, and a strand of Zhou Fei's long hair scattered around her ears died for no reason. The familiar touch made Zhou Fei know what it was in an instant - a thread!

Ma Jili was shocked: "A Fei can't be reckless..."

Before the word "collision" could be said, Zhou Fei suddenly pressed down the long knife in his hand without warning, and the "wind of ignorance" passed over to "a sword to suppress the mountain" almost without any turning point, and a "hum" sounded - this After all, the pulling line at the place was not the kind that was linked to the Stonehenge in the Ximo River, and was bent by her with a knife.

Xie Yun suddenly popped out of his arms a fireworks exactly the same as the one he ignited on Hengshan.

The fireworks swooped into the sky, waking up the quiet moonlight over the Forty-Eight Villages, and the few figures who were hidden on the treetops on both sides and almost merged with the rough wood suddenly disappeared.

It turned out that they were using one person to attract attention, and the real assassin had already been in ambush - no wonder several sentries died silently.

The Wangchūn Mountain in Zhou Fei's hands was a little better than the gold-cutting and jade-cutting wire. She just pressed the wire and deformed it. Then, with a soft snort, the two "connectors" rolled down from the tree one after another. The move was successful, Wangchūn Mountain slid heavily on the pulling line, and bravely broke into the pulling formation of several Mingfeng killers. The long knife in his hand changed his move again, this time it was "slash"!

The unfinished lead net was difficult to be sharp, and it shattered under her knife immediately. The lead wire was scattered, and the lead wire was tied in. Li Yan covered her eyes, but it was still too late. saw two heads fly up.

The snow-breaking knife in Zhou Fei's hand was not yet waning, and it directly pressed against the throat of the Mingfeng disciple who ran to attract attention.

Behind Ma Jili, everyone was stunned by the three swords that rose and fell.

When Zhou Fei was outside, she didn't know why she was so unlucky. Every day she was tossing around among the masters, and she didn't have time to know the progress of her snowbreaker.

At this moment, she couldn't see the horrified expressions of the people behind her. The tip of the knife stuck on the assassin's throat and said coldly, "Who ordered you?"

The Mingfeng assassin glanced at her, gave a low "ah", and sighed: "It's actually a snowbreaker, it's life."

Immediately, he turned his eyes away from Zhou Fei's face, and he didn't know where to look at the void behind her with a strange smile. He even bumped forward without warning - Zhou Fei was too late to stop, and the assassin would Hit her to death with such a smile on her face!

Zhou Fei shivered slightly, and at this moment, a burst of fire that was even more dazzling than the fireworks set off by Xie Yun shot up from the back mountain.

I don't know who said loudly: "Wash the Mojiang! That's the Mojiang!"

Just as the night was getting dark, Li Jinrong, who was out of the house, still did not rest. She was thinking about something, and she was flipping through a book describing the old capital.

People say, "You can't sleep in the first 30 years, but you can't sleep in the next 30 years." Most young people are snooze, and as they get older, they sleep less and less.

Li Jinrong has a big secret. She has suffered from insomnia since she was 18/9 years old. In the past 20 years, she has tried to recuperate several times, but it didn't work. Fortunately, she practiced martial arts. The person is in good health, and he really can't sleep. It's a big deal to meditate until dawn, and he won't delay business the next day.

At this time, Li Jinrong had already taken people away from Shu, and along the way, he had inevitably heard about the "great achievements" of Zhou Fei, a new figure in the world. .

Li Jinrong listened to several versions of the legend, and her first reaction was not to wonder how Zhou Fei's snowbreaker, which she bought and sold now, fooled people - but what was the reason for Zhou Fei's absence from Mrs. Wang Around.

Zhou Fei is not Li Yan, she has been more quiet since she was a child, she can't do things like running around for no reason.

So what happened to keep her out of the sight of her elders?

Especially the story in Huarong City, the various versions of the legend are more hyped up than the other.

Here, it doesn't matter how Zhou Fei managed to escape from under the eyes of the two killing gods of greed and Lu Cun, anyway, according to the follow-up story, she escaped very successfully without missing an arm. There are no short legs - but what Li Jinrong can't figure out is, who else in the Central Plains martial arts is worthy of the joint efforts of Qiu Tianji and Shen Tianshu?

Some of those mysterious rumors also mentioned General Wu's family.

Although the family members of the rebel generals will inevitably be arrested by the Northern Dynasty, but they are nothing more than orphans and widowed mothers. It is easy for a few soldiers to kill them. ?

Cao Zhongkun's dog is eating a big stick bone. Is it okay to come out to digest?

Li Jinrong vaguely felt that she might have missed something, but after thinking about it, she found that the whole thing was covered with a thick layer of ominous fog, and she could never grasp the key.

She put aside the travel notes that she hadn't turned a page in for a long time, and pinched her brows hard... What did she miss?

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted from outside: "Big boss!"

Li Jinrong instantly restrained her tired and dazed expression to nothing, turned her head slightly, and said, "Come in."

Before she could rest, the door of the guest room was not locked, and she opened it with a push from the outside. Before Li Jinrong finished speaking, the female disciple who was doing chores for her rushed in hurriedly——Li Jinrong's bad temper is not two days a day. God, the disciples who can follow her must be very clever and measured, and it is rare to be so rash.

Li Jinrong raised her eyebrows and made a somewhat impatient questioning look.

The disciple said: "Look at who is coming!"

I saw a person walking out from behind her and shouting, "Auntie!"

This time, Li Jinrong was taken aback, and it took a long while to find her voice: "...Sheng'er?"

Even a boy who grew up very late, when he was seventeen or eighteen years old, basically didn't seem to have any earth-shaking changes, but when Li Sheng stood in front of her, Li Jinrong almost didn't recognize it for a while.

He lost two laps of weight, and his stature became a bit taller for no reason.

At home, although Li Sheng can't be called arrogant, he has a bit of a temperament of a young master. His clothes and hair must be neat, and he is very personable wherever he goes. But the young man standing in front of Li Jinrong at this time was nowhere near as good as the beggar, and lost one and a half of the two daggers—all that remained was a bare iron piece without a sheath, wrapped with a rough rope. a few laps.

His face was so thin that only a layer of skin remained, stretched stretched on his cheekbones, and there was still a black patch on his cheek. don't know if it was rubbing ash or some scars left after the wound had scabbed over. His lips were cracked a few times. He could faintly see the blood blooming in it, but his eyes were hardened a lot, and he even dared to look at Li Jinrong.

"Pour him a glass of water," Li Jinrong ordered hurriedly, and asked him again and again, "Why are you here alone? Why did you do this? Where's Fei?"

Li Sheng seemed to be terribly thirsty. He didn't even bother to say "thank you". He picked up the cup and poured it down his throat. For some reason, he pulled the crack in his lips, and a painful look flashed across his face. , but did not make a sound. Li Sheng quickly finished his drink, put the empty glass aside, and said, "A Fei didn't come with me—this is a long story, auntie, I'll keep it short, there is a man named 'Chongyunzi' The senior asked me to bring you a sentence."

Li Jinrong: "...what?"

The name made her have to be shocked, because the letter with water ripples and unclear words was signed "Chongyunzi", the reclusive head of Qimen, and the old village owner for decades.

"He said this to you just in case, if you don't understand, that's the best." Li Sheng frowned obviously, as if he still couldn't understand what the old Taoist meant, "Then The saying is, 'The years cannot be reversed, and the dead cannot be resurrected. Since the past has been settled, and if the grave is dug to reveal it, it must have no good intentions. No matter what others say to you, it will be ill-intentioned. Don't believe it, remember, don't pursue it'... Senior Sister, please give me another glass of water."

Li Sheng said this in one breath, his throat was split, he coughed twice, and almost tasted a little blood.

Li Jinrong breathed a sigh of relief calmly, and his heart almost exploded.

Qimen's Daoist Chongyunzi had already cut off contact with the forty-eight villages, but two letters were sent to her within a few months. One was written on paper and asked Zhou Yitang to transfer it, and the other was her. It was dictated by my nephew who was brought up as a child, but the contents of the two letters are actually contradictory and diametrically opposite!

If the old Taoist priest Qimen hadn't lost his mind, there would have been a problem with one of the two letters.

Li Sheng ignored her indifference, and quickly continued: "One more thing, aunt, on the way there, Senior Brother Deng Zhen once told me in detail the location of the dark piles along the way in the village. At that time, Beidou was in the northern and southern regions. The activities were rampant, so I had to avoid its edge, detour to the border of the Southern Dynasty, and settled in Hengyang. Because I was afraid of making mistakes, I wanted to write a letter and pass it to you through Hengyang Dark Stake, but unexpectedly Hengyang Dark Stake had a different heart... I don't know which faction and whose people instigated the rebellion. At that time, I didn't have time to investigate. I was almost detained by them. I finally escaped, and I was chased all the way to this place - not an ordinary chase, I was alone, no It is easy to hide in the city or in the wild, but aunt, I suspect that the assassins they dispatched are serious 800 assassins, is there anyone in the dark pile of Hengyang who is Mingfeng?"

Forty-eight villages are distributed in various places in the dark piles, all of which are sent by different sects, and the people are not separated from each other, so the staff of the dark piles are mixed.

But Li Jinrong knew that Mingfeng was a maverick.

This is what the elders in the village know, and it is an old rule.

It's not that Li Jinrong doesn't want to change, but the people who come to Mingfeng are very withdrawn outside, and secondly... Although it sounds inexplicable, this is the rule set by the old village owner Li Zheng himself.

In the important correspondence between Forty-Eight Villages, if a code word is used, in order to prevent being intercepted and cracked, the correspondence usually does not follow a line.

For example, there are two routes from Shuzhong to Jinling. One is the Shaoyang dark post after leaving Shu, and the other happens to be the Hengyang route! Chongyunzi's letter from Zhou Yitang to Jiāo happened to go to the Hengyang route, so Li Jinrong wrote to When Zhou Yitang was there, she would avoid Hengyang and divert to Shaoyang. If Zhou Yitang replied to her, the reply she never received would be stuck in the dark pile of Hengyang again.

If there is really a problem with the Hengyang dark pile, then...

Li Jinrong stood up abruptly. She rarely left the Forty-Eight Villages once. She had to reorganize the dark piles when she went out this time. She brought a lot of heroes from various factions... She slowly paced a few steps in the room and raised her head. To the stunned female disciple who had been beside her, she instructed: "Go and call everyone up, let's turn back immediately!"

The disciple responded and ran away.

Li Jinrong said to Li Sheng, who sighed softly, "Come with me and tell me what happened on the road carefully."

"Auntie," Li Sheng said with a slight embarrassment, "Is there anything to eat? That... gān food is enough, I can take it and talk while eating."

☆、Chapter 77

A long drought meets the rain, a long hunger meets the gān food, Li Sheng is really hungry, he feels that he can swallow a cow with his mouth open, even if his tongue is scalded by the steaming stuffing of steamed buns, he still bravely grinds his teeth. Don't back down.

After eating a bun, it was like a pebble falling into the abyss, and there was no sound in his stomach. Li Sheng ate five slap-sized buns in a row, but he was still not full, but he felt that he had some confidence in his heart, so he wouldn't be let down. A gust of wind blew away. He stopped gulping, and his thin face was filled with indescribable thoughts.

Li Jinrong was still waiting for him to reply. Li Sheng didn't know where to start. He instinctively found the most impressive thing, and said to Li Jinrong, "Do you know about the death of the old fortress Huo?"

Of course Li Jinrong heard about it, Huo Liantao was carrying a lot of righteous and dignified flags, and the side on the top of his head was "The hatred to kill the old fortress is unbearable." Right now, he is lobbying in the south, and he can hardly wait The four words "revenge snow hate" were engraved into a large plaque, and a group of people was recruited for them to rebel directly.

Li Jinrong nodded: "I know that greed and Wu Qu joined forces in Yueyang to set fire to Huojiabao."

"Huojiabao is not greedy for láng and martial arts," Li Sheng said in a low voice, he raised his head slightly, the horizon suppressed by the night was far in the sky, and only a deeper and darker shadow could be seen at this time. After a long while, when Li Jinrong had begun to wait impatiently, he continued, "Huo Liantao left Mr. Huo behind to cover up his whereabouts. The fire was set by their own family. I... I saw it with my own eyes."

Li Jinrong asked, "Are you in Huojiabao?"

Mr. Huo and Li Zheng are very loyal, but Huo Liantao is less likable. Mr. Huo has long ignored the affairs of Huojiabao, and has always been ill to the outside world, and his friends from the past gradually stopped going to Huojiabao .

Li Sheng's throat moved slightly, and then, in a few words, he first explained the reason and history of how he managed to get away from Mrs. Wang all the way.

Li Jinrong: "..."

She lost her words for a while. Over the years, she had too many people and things in her heart. Forty-eight villages were divided into a large part, and Zhou Yitang was divided into a small part. Naturally, only "strict discipline" was left for her younger generation. Baba's criterion—of course it was a little harsher for Zhou Fei.

She never knew what Li Sheng was thinking.

And this should be the most subtle and inhumane young man's mind. At this time, Li Sheng said it, but it was indifferent, as if he was talking about someone else's story.

"The location of the hidden stake in our village, where and how to get there, I thought I figured it out," Li Sheng said.

Li Jinrong came back to his senses and was a little puzzled - Li Sheng has worked hard all these years, what kind of horse thief can easily rob his horse?

"It's Suzaku's master of Mu Xiaoqiao," Li Sheng explained, listening to Li Jinrong's slight sigh, he finally showed a smile that is unique to a young man, as if he was proud of his success in scaring people, but that little smile Li Sheng's face darkened quickly, and he continued, "After Mu Xiaoqiao escaped from the mountain of living and dead, he became Huo Liantao's thug, collecting money and horses for him. I was knocked out by them and thrown aside. Before they came back to silence, they ran into Senior Chong Yunzi who happened to be passing by."
