Chapter 5

After about three days of this episode, it was the day Yu Shengyan was scheduled to start.

Because the first month of the first month has just passed and the Lantern Festival has not yet arrived, both inside and outside the capital of Qi Kingdom, Ye City, are full of joy.

Yan Zhiwen's official rank is not high, and the Hehuan Sect placed him in this position, presumably just to have an extra layer of eyes and ears. He himself is not high in martial arts and has no defenses. With Yu Shengyan's current skills alone, I am afraid that it will be less troublesome than drinking a glass of water.

However, since Yan Wushi had instructed him, Yu Shengyan still took Shen Qiao with him, and let him wait outside the door of Yan's house. He jumped directly onto the roof of Yan's house, and silently touched Yan Zhiwen's study.

According to the information previously obtained, Yan Zhi asked this person to be second-rate in martial arts, but he was quite cunning, so he was able to gain a place in the Hehuan Sect. Yu Shengyan killed him just to knock the mountain and shake the tiger. Before that, he did not take this person too seriously. up, but it wasn't until got in that realized something was wrong.

The servants in Yan's house are still there, and the nursing home patrols the surrounding area from time to time, but no matter in the study or bedroom, Yu Shengyan has not found any trace of Yan Zhiwen.

Not only Yan Zhiwen, but also his wife, concubines, and children seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

Yu Shengyan's figure is like a shadow, following the elusive and treacherous style of the Huanyue Sect, he entered the inner house lightly, stopped a servant, and clicked his dumb hole, the other party still fell into a dream, and it was too late react.

"What about Yan Zhi's question?"

The servant opened his eyes wide and found that the handsome young man in front of him could easily stop him, he couldn't help but panic, but he couldn't speak.

Yu Shengyan smiled at him: "Tell me where Yan Zhiwen and the Yan family have gone, I won't kill you, or even if you call for help, I can kill the whole house, you can understand ?"

The servant was extremely frightened and nodded again and again.

Yu Shengyan let go of his hand a little, and relieved his dumb hole again.

The servant hurriedly said, "The mistress and Xiao Langjun left two days ago, and the master said that he would send them to the Hot Spring Villa to live for a while."

Yu Shengyan sneered: "Even if the female family member is not there, Yan Zhiwen can't follow him. He has to go to court tomorrow, isn't he going to come back?"

The servant stammered: "Master didn't tell us too clearly when he left, and neither do we, we don't know..."

He listened impatiently any longer, and stunned the opponent with a slap. Then he found the housekeeper of Yan's house and forced him to ask him the whereabouts of the Yan family. The answers he got were exactly the same as before.

Yu Shengyan is not stupid. At this time, he has realized that the matter that he wants to kill Yan Zhiwen may have been known to Yan Zhiwen in advance.

But this matter was ordered by Yan Wushi. Apart from him, only Shen Qiao knew about it, not even the housekeeper of Xie's house.

Of course, Yu Shengyan himself couldn't be shouting and leaking the news.

He had a cold murderous intention in his heart. He wanted to crush the butler's throat directly, but then he thought about it, now that he has not been able to kill the whole family of the Yan family, it is meaningless to kill just one subordinate. Laughing at him, he stunned him, turned around and left Xie's house, full of anger, and found Shen Qiao who was still waiting for him in the alley next to him.

"Is it your message to Yan Zhiwen?"

Shen Qiao nodded, without any hesitation or denial: "Yes."

Yu Shengyan hated him for bad things, her face had long since lost the usual sly smile, and her icy cold expression was full of killing intent: "Why?"

Shen Qiao said: "I know that there is always a gap between the Hehuan Sect and this sect. Since Yan Zhiwen is a member of the Hehuan Sect, if the master wants to kill him, it is not my turn to speak up. It's just a childish boy, why should he kill Yan Zhiwen? Implicate his wife and children?"

Yu Shengyan said coldly: "It's not up to you to talk about whether to kill his wife and children, I really want to know, you are now a blind man with no power to hold a chicken, and you don't know the south, east, north, and west when you go out. Yan Zhiwen delivered the message?"

Shen Qiao said: "You said that Yan Zhiwen is a cunning person. As long as there is something wrong with him, he will be suspicious. There was an angelica in the prescription for me, so I tried to hide some of it. I wanted to find a chance to send it to Yan's house. Go, who knew that I happened to meet Han Eying at the door of the pharmacy that day, so I put the things I was going to give to Yan Zhiwen in a box and asked her to pass it on. , I think Yan Zhiwen should also have received the medicinal materials from me, and when he noticed something was wrong, he moved the whole family in advance."

Yu Shengyan laughed angrily: "I really underestimate you, I didn't expect you to have such a skill!"

He stretched out his hand to squeeze Shen Qiao's neck, and slowly tightened his strength: "You broke the task assigned by the master, do you know what the consequences will be, eh?"

Shen Qiao had no power to resist. Because of poor breathing, his face gradually became ugly, and his chest rose and fell sharply. He could only spit out a sentence intermittently: "Actually... I'm not a disciple of Huanyue Sect, right?"

Yu Shengyan froze for a moment and let go.

Shen Qiao immediately leaned against the wall and coughed.

Yu Shengyan: "How did you see it?"

Shen Qiao said calmly: "I feel. Although I have no memory, I still have a basic judgment. Regardless of whether you are a master or a senior brother, your attitude towards me is not like you should treat my fellow disciples or senior brothers. The servants serving at Bie Zhuang are also very careful with me, for fear of revealing any information that should not be disclosed. I have no martial arts skills, so I can’t help at all. , I have suffered such a serious injury, even if I am not good enough, it has already hurt the face of the teacher, but you have always kept it a secret. All of this is unreasonable. "

Seeing that the other party didn't speak, he added: "Actually, my method is not very clever, I can only hide it from the maid in Xie's house, if you don't take Yan Zhiwen into your eyes at all, and send someone to watch his whereabouts in advance. , he can't run if he wants to."

Yu Shengyan: "Yes, a strict question is insignificant, I didn't take it to heart, so I gave you a chance to take advantage of it. But do you know, what would be the consequences if Master knew about this matter? You Save a few people who have nothing to do with you, they don't even know that you let them escape, even if they do, they may not be grateful to you, do you think it's worth it?"

Shen Qiao shook his head: "Whether it's worth it or not, everyone has a steel scale in their hearts. It's not worthy of praise if there is an injustice or a debt, and innocent people are implicated. Some people and some things can be saved but not saved, and they can be done but not done. , there will be demons in your life, as for whether others know it or not, it is someone else's business."

Yu Shengyan had never seen Shen Qiao before, and she didn't know what he was like before he was injured. After waking up, Shen Qiao was sick from day to night. Nine out of ten days, he was in bed, except for that face. Apart from that, there is nothing worthy of others' attention. Although Yu Shengyan has never spoken ill, but deep down in his heart, it is not without contempt that he feels that he is a good Taoist headmaster, but he has been reduced to such a level, which is really too incompetent. .

But at this moment, he was standing there leaning against the wall, his face was light and calm, fearless and fearless, and he could vaguely see the bearing of the grandmaster of the previous generation.

Yu Shengyan sneered: "You are too busy to take care of yourself, and you still have time to care about the lives of others? Since you have such a benevolent heart, why don't you think that you lost your martial arts and was thrown under the cliff. We rescued you. It's just the corpse wilderness, that's how you repay?"

Shen Qiao sighed: "The grace of saving life should be reciprocated by a spring, but the two have nothing to do with each other."

Yu Shengyan frowned slightly.

He thought it was a simple errand. Who would have thought that Shen Qiao had lost his memory, but he didn't go as expected at all, and he could still tip off Yan Zhiwen under his nose. When the matter is passed back, he will inevitably be considered incompetent by the master, and he can't even handle a trivial matter.

This person has a special status, and he can't kill him, so he still has to take it back to the master to deal with.

Shen Qiao seemed to be aware of his mood, and actually comforted him in turn: "Don't worry, I will tell the sect master the reason, and I will definitely not hurt you."

Yu Shengyan was angry: "You should worry about yourself first!"

Shen Qiao smiled and suddenly asked, "Senior Brother Yu, since I'm not from the Huanyue Sect, is it true that I dare to ask Shen Qiao's name?"

Yu Shengyan was silent for a moment: "It's true."

Shen Qiao: "Then what was my identity before I was injured, but still have relatives alive?"

Yu Shengyan: "Wait when you go back and ask the master yourself."

...

However, they didn't see Yan Wushi after they went back.

Not long after they set off for Yecheng, Yan Wushi also left Bie Zhuang, and it is said that he was going to Zhou State.

"Then Master, before he left, did he leave anything to explain?" Yu Shengyan asked the housekeeper of Bie Zhuang.

Guan Jia said: "Master asked you to go back to Banbu Peak to practice. As for Master Shen, Master said that if everything goes well in this trip, he will continue to stay in Zhuangzi to recuperate. If Master Shen causes any trouble in Yecheng, give him If you cause trouble, let him leave on his own without taking anything with him."

Yu Shengyan was a little surprised: "Master really explained it like this?"

The housekeeper smiled bitterly: "How dare the villain make it up?"

Yu Shengyan was still worried about how to explain it when she came back, but who knew that the matter would end in such an understatement.

He thought for a moment, called Shen Qiao, and told him what Yan Wushi left behind.

Shen Qiao's performance was very calm: "No matter what, I did cause you trouble, so that you failed to complete the things that the sect master explained. The sect master's handling of it like this can be regarded as very lenient."

Yu Shengyan still has some understanding of his master, Yan Wushi's treatment is definitely not lenient, maybe there are other estimates.

Shen Qiao couldn't see, the world was in chaos now, and anything could happen outside. If he was kidnapped, if he was found in the future, the dignified headmaster of Xuandu Mountain would be reduced to a "treasure". Face is about to lose face, how can I have the nerve to stand on the rivers and lakes?

Although Yu Shengyan's actions are not as willful and wanton as his master, it is also impossible to go against his master's wishes for a Shen Qiao.

"Since that's the case, you can leave tomorrow. The northeast direction is Yecheng, and the southwest is Nanchen. If you want to go to Jiankang, you have to go southwest, and the journey is relatively long. You have also been to Yecheng. , Although it is prosperous, there are frequent chaos, and there are many refugees along the way. If you want to live a stable life, it is better to go to Nanchen."

Shen Qiao nodded, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you Brother Yu for telling me. I have something to ask for, and I hope Brother Yu will tell me my identity and origin, so that I can have a place to go."

Yu Shengyan said lightly: "It's okay to tell you now, you were originally the headmaster of the Zifu Palace in Xuandu Mountain, and you fell off a cliff due to a battle with Kunye, the first Turkic master, and was rescued by your master, but I advise you not to rush back to recognize your relatives, since the incident, I have never heard of people from Xuandu Mountain searching for your whereabouts."

"Xuandu Mountain..." Shen Qiao frowned and murmured again, showing a dazed look.

Yu Shengyan laughed: "Although my Huanyue Sect is a demon in the eyes of the world, I am a magnanimous villain. If I want to kill, I will kill, and I will never shy away. How can I be decent, what I say and what I actually do are completely different. Different! However, if I listen to you or not, you will lose your life by then, don't say I didn't warn you in advance!"

Shen Qiao was silent.

Early the next morning, he was woken up by the servants in the village, and he politely invited him out of the village.

Except for a green bamboo stick, he has nothing long, not to mention copper coins, not even any dry food.

Yu Shengyan obviously didn't leave any room, and really planned to let Shen Qiao fend for himself outside.

The rising sun shines warmly on the body, with the breath of spring, which is not uncomfortable.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and raised his hand to block his vision.

In fact, he can gradually perceive some external light now. Although it is blurry, it will sting and cry after a long time, but it is better than opening his eyes and seeing nothing.

Shen Qiao turned around and glanced at Bie Zhuang.

Although Huanyue Sect had no good intentions from beginning to end, it was undeniable that they did take in themselves and gave medicine to the doctor, which was a benefit that could not be erased.

If he can see Yan Wushi again in the future, he still has to say thank you in person.
