The Grandmaster Strategist Chapter 21: 1 Night Fish and Dragon Dance

Although the Oiran Contest on Xuanwu Lake is prosperous, most of the people who are interested are the children of officials and wealthy businessmen. However, the lantern festival that night is suitable for all ages. This night, whether it is a high-ranking official or a commoner, it is a night walk in Jinyi. Celebrate the whole world. In Jianye City, there are illusions of flowing lights, all kinds of gorgeous lanterns are competing with each other, the lights are in the night, and the streets are bustling and busy. The wealthy and wealthy people have tried their best to show off their splendor, competing in luxury and wealth, gold and silver, colored glaze, and pearls are decorated into luxurious and radiant lamps, and many people are on the high stage in front of the door, making people perform all kinds of arts on the stage. The juggling was brilliant and attracted a lot of people. Others put up a colorful shed in front of the door with lantern riddles and brocade gold and silver as the prize money, which attracted countless men and women to frown and think.

Among the crowd, Lu Yun and Shi Xiu walked down the street holding hands. They were awarded a prize in the court today, and both were awarded the rank of six-rank military lieutenant. Although they are only vacant positions now, it is impossible to let them They really led the soldiers, but this is a rare honor after all. Naturally, the two of them didn't know that this reward was just a perfunctory reward from the court, and it was also a compensation to make up for the reward Lu Can deserved. They were naturally happy, so they agreed to come out to watch the lights. Both of them are not afraid of nature, and coupled with their high martial arts, so they didn't bring home generals, so they sneaked out of Zhenyuan Gongfu. Shixiu came to Jianye for the first time and was unfamiliar with the streets here. Lu Yun was worried that she was lost and there were too many people on the road, so he kept holding her hand to prevent her from losing.

Walking for a while, when Shi Xiu was dizzying to catch up, a few men sighed and talked suddenly in their ears, but it was said that a wealthy man put a ring in front of the door. It is said that the color head is an eight-treasure glass lamp. , If someone can shoot money with an arrow, he will give this light to him. It is said that if someone is of the same age, he will also betroth his daughter to the person who takes it. These men are good at bows and arrows, so go up and try your luck. Shixiu is naturally not interested in recruiting relatives, but when she hears shooting arrows to win the lights, she **** her ears. After listening for a while, she said to Lu Yun: "Brother Yun, let's try it. We can't guess the riddle." Lu Yun was also quite interested when he heard it, so he took the stone embroidery and walked in the direction those people said. After walking for less than a moment, I saw the arrow.

It was a wealthy family with high walls and deep houses. There was an open space in front of the door. A flagpole was erected a hundred steps away from the gate. A red light was hung on the flagpole, and a money was hanging under the light. Blowing in the wind, there is a colorful shed next to the gate, which is divided into two interior and exterior rooms with a veil. The outer space is hosted by an extraordinary middle-aged Chinese clothes man. There is a long table in the shed with a carved bow and feather arrows. . As for the eight-treasure colored glaze lamp, which is the color head, is hanging on the gate, it is an octagonal palace lantern. The palace lantern is composed of sixty-four colored glaze wafers. The stringed ones are all gold silk and silver threads, and there are also pearl jasper decorations. The red candle flickered, making it more crystal clear. Only the bright pearl the size of a pigeon egg on the top of the treasure lamp is already invaluable, no wonder there are many people gearing up beside it. Although Nanchu Chongwen is light and martial artist, archery is also one of the six arts of scholars. Many people dare to test shooting, but the test shooting requires a dozen silvers, which makes many people stop.

Lu Yun speculated that the flagpole was deliberately prepared, and it was ten feet high. The money was thin and small. It only hung under the lamp with red silk thread, and drifted with the cold wind from the heights. If shooting arrows from the bottom up, such a distance, such a target, it is really difficult, even I can not guarantee that I can shoot money, but the notice on the color shed says that three arrows can hit money with one arrow, then I am. Be sure of seven or eight.

At this time, Shi Xiu's eyes were bright and authentic: "Dude Yun, have you brought any silver?"

Lu Yun was about to persuade Shixiu not to be in the limelight, but his eyes were facing each other, and the bright light in Shixiu's bright eyes made Lu Yun feel soft and said: "You try it first, if it doesn't work, I will try again. , You can definitely win the palace lantern." Shi Xiu whited him and said: "If I can't shoot, can you shoot it?" Lu Yun was at a loss. The two archery skills are between the two, Shi Xiu is like this. Said there was nothing wrong. So he smiled bitterly and stuffed a piece of silver into Shi Xiu's hand.

Shi Xiu took the silver and walked to the color shed. Everyone around the audience brightened. Shi Xiu was wearing a white shirt. She was handsome, with confidence in the corners of her eyebrows and eyes. She was so heroic and young, if it weren’t for her age. Not big, I'm afraid that famous ladies who are hard to get out will be heartbroken. She stepped forward and took the eagle bow and three feather arrows, dropped the silver two, and when she reached the white line, she squinted at the money dancing in the wind, bent her bow like a full moon, and drew arrows with concentration. The crowd around the audience watched with breathlessness, trying to see if the handsome boy could shoot money. After a while, Shixiu still did not shoot. Some people in the crowd began to laugh and relax, all thinking that the boy was just bluffing. At this moment, when the bowstring rang, a feather arrow flashed and disappeared. There was a low sound. The feather arrow had passed through the square eye of the money, and everyone had not reacted yet. The second feather arrow had crossed the sky with a red thread. From the break, the money fell to the ground. At this moment, the third feather arrow came through the air and was piercing the money above the arrow. The remaining power did not stop and penetrated the flagpole behind it.

There was silence all around. On the night of Shangyuan, the silence seemed strange. Shi Xiu smiled slightly, put away the bow and arrows, and the reddish face showed a triumphant smile, and there was a terrifying applause from all around. Shixiu cast a circle around the crowd, turned to look at the middle-aged man who was in a daze with his beard, and smiled: "Is that eight-treasure glazed lamp belonged to me?"

The middle-aged man’s heart is bitter and unspeakable. While he was hesitating, a silver bell came from the curtain behind him: "Chief Executive, since this young man shoots money with an arrow, he should naturally look at the palace lantern. Gift."

Shixiu was taken aback for a while, although she had already seen several figures behind the curtains, she did not expect that it was a woman who was speaking. Thinking of the gossips that had just been heard, this house set up arrows, which also meant to invite relatives. , I think the person behind the curtain is the young lady of this family, and I can't help feeling a little embarrassed. Although she wears men's clothes well and does not treat herself as a woman, she is a normal girl after all. Can't help but look back at Lu Yun. Lu Yun is also secretly applauding the archery skills of stone embroidery. These days, he has not learned much, but today he saw the true ability of stone embroidery. Seeing Shixiu's gaze for help, he stepped forward and smiled: "Since the master has said so, why doesn't this manager go to get the lamp?"

Lu Yun stood next to Shixiu, and the eyes of the audience were all bright again. Although Lu Yun is not as handsome as Shixiu, but his life experience coupled with his father's influence makes him stand out. The same white clothes are more beautiful. It is because he is not a group of heroes and martial artists. Lu and Shi stood together, setting off each other, making them more extraordinary.

The middle-aged man smiled awkwardly and ordered his family to fetch the lantern. He was about to talk to him. When the curtain was raised, a fifteen or six-year-old girl in brocade came out. She was dressed in light fur boots and luxurious clothes , Charming and bright like spring flowers, and the eyes flowed like spring waves with affection, so that everyone took a deep breath.

She stepped forward and gave a polite ceremony to both Lu and Shi: "The little girl Ji Lingxiang, I have seen two princes and I don’t know how to call them. Although I want to give this lantern, it will also be given to the Qing white man’s family. If it falls into the hands of an evil person, isn't Mingzhu cast in the dark?" She said this very fast, but the words were clear, and it sounded like a pearl falling on a jade plate. Shi Xiu, as a woman, was moved in her heart when she heard it.

Lu Yun said as usual: "When the young lady hung the lamp, she never said that she had to ask her net worth. Since we have shot the money, this lamp should belong to us. If the young lady wants to breach the contract, I am afraid that you elders. The folks didn’t agree.” As soon as this statement came out, even though those onlookers were fascinated by the girl’s beauty, they also talked a lot, and some said frivolously, “This lady, what you say cannot be counted, you ask about the identity of the person, it’s not about it. Did you hit this little boy?"

The Jinyi girl’s complexion changed. She was beautiful and had a powerful backstage, so she always wanted the wind to get the wind and the rain to get the rain. No one was rude to her. Today, Lu Yun robbed him of him. It also caused rogue taunts, inevitably furious in his heart, and a cold glow flashed in his eyes.

In fact, even though Lu Yun was young and full of blood, how could he have no sense of beauty, but he has met young girls like Zhaohua princess Jiang Roulan and Shixiu, so he has nothing in his heart for Ji Lingxiang Waves are born. In terms of appearance, Jiang Roulan and Ji Lingxiang are no more than the same, but in terms of temperament, they are worlds apart. Roulan has a gentle and kind-hearted nature and the pride of the royal family. It is not the appearance from the outside, but the self-confidence and self-esteem deeply rooted in the bones. Even if it is soft as water, there are turbulent waves hidden under the water. That is Jiang Roulan. Although Lu Yun didn't really understand Roulan, he had seen the image of Roulan a few times. Although it was like a bright moon and beyond reach, it was difficult to give up his admiration and love. Although Shixiu's appearance is not as good as Ji Lingxiang's, she is heroic and brave, and she has no feminine weakness and restraint, but she has another arrogant demeanor. What's more, fighting side by side for many days, the two have already unknowingly have blood-connected emotions. In contrast, although Ji Lingxiang is beautiful and charming, he is unavoidably arrogant and arrogant. His temperament is not as good as soft blue, and his love is not as good as stone embroidery. If it is an ordinary young man, she might be dazzled by her beauty, but to Lu Yun, it is like a clay sculpture. Puppets, there is no life at all.

At this time, the master had already brought the palace lantern. The palace lantern was very delicate. After taking out the candle, it could be easily folded up. The master was packed in a red brocade box and handed it to the stone embroidery. After Shixiu took it, he walked out with joy. Lu Yun followed her with a smile on his face. Neither of them took a second look at the girl in brocade, and walked out without a word.

When the audience saw that the lantern had been taken away, they all dispersed, leaving the girl in brocade clothes still standing in front of the color shed with her silver teeth, her face turned pale, and an arrow was set here. It was originally designed to attract Lu Yun to come. This was a plan that had already been made. It started when Lu Yun was discovered to be out of the house. For this reason, people used words to attract Lu Yun and Shi Yujin to come. Unexpectedly, although people are here, it is Shi Yujin who wins the light. This brocade-clothed girl didn’t know that Shi Xiu was the body of a woman, only that she was Shi Yujin who was as famous as Lu Yun. In fact, in her opinion, the handsome Shi Yujin was more in line with her heart, but the master’s command was to let herself use Arrows grabbing the lantern approached Lu Yun, but fortunately, Lu Yun's talent and appearance were not bad. But what she never expected was that Lu Yun turned a blind eye to her. Such humiliation made her hate Lu Yun and secretly worried that Master would blame herself.

Seeing her look sad, the chief executive whispered: "Miss San, don't worry, even if this matter fails, the first seat will not blame you."

Ji Lingxiang sighed softly and said: "If the master sister can go smoothly and win the oiran champion, Master is pleased, or will not blame me, now Master is very annoyed, I'm afraid it will be difficult this time. Up."

The middle-aged man whispered: "Miss San, don’t worry, the first person has already ordered the removal of the person who has broken our important affairs. Liu Rumeng is just a helpless and weak woman. Sooner or later, it will fall into our grasp. ."

Ji Lingxiang didn’t say anything. Although she was young, she was not naive, and she didn’t think this matter would be so easy to solve. Besides, no matter what the result was, she had nothing to do with him. She was just worried about how she could get through this. One pass.

"The Falun goes up in the sky, and the sound of Brahma comes up from the sky. The lamp tree shines with thousands of light, and the seven branches of the flower are blooming. The moon is shadowed by the flowing water, and the spring breeze contains the night plum. Burnt the golden place, the bell is made of the colored glaze platform. (Note 1)", Mingyue The building is high, the lights are brilliant, and the busy royal street is below. From the half-open and half-closed window, there is a moving song, even in such a noisy night, the song is so clear and audible.

In the elegant room upstairs, a beautiful girl with a cloud towering over her temples and wearing a light gauze plays the piano and sings in a dreamlike voice. In a corner of the room, two men listened with a smile, and each of them was accompanied by two charming girls. At the end of the song, a middle-aged man clapped his hands and said, "Good song, good lyrics, Brother Song is really good at writing, no wonder she helped Miss Liu win the position of oiran, but I'm afraid it offends others?" Another cool-looking youth Drunk-eyed and dimly said: "Brother Shang is worried. If someone really blames me for this trivial matter, at most I will avoid it for a while. If I want to change the situation, not many people still remember the matter. It seems that Brother Shang is feeling today. Very good, are you willing to watch my jokes?"

The middle-aged man laughed, pushed the beautiful woman away from his arms, and said to the young man: "Brother Song, thanks to your strategy, my father often gave me words of encouragement when he convened the staff for discussion recently. Don’t worry about your credit, don’t dare to say anything else, I can persuade them not to embarrass you at Yueyingxuan."

After hearing this, Yulun smiled faintly, and said: "In fact, the father is also the hope of the son to become a dragon, so he used to have a lot of spurs on the Shang brother. The Shang brother is the talent of the minister in charge of the court. If the person who can adopt the good words and make a decision, He is already a good-looking person. I think my father thinks that Brother Shang can accept the little brother’s humble opinion and can use the camera, so he can encourage him. Moreover, General Lu is the Optimus Jade Pillar of Southern Chu after all, and the father is just I want to restrain him a little so that he won’t go astray. I’m afraid I haven’t seen it in Shang Xiang’s eyes."

Shang Chengye's expression was fluttering and proudly said: "Of course, my father wouldn't put that Lumen Zhizi in his eyes, and this person and Da Yongzhong, my rebel minister Jiang Zhe in Southern Chu had much collusion. If it weren’t for Nianzhe’s man’s military aspirations, I’m afraid my father would have already condemned him."

Yulan moved in his heart and deliberately said: "Oh, Brother Shang is referring to the Lord Chu Hou who married Princess Dayong. Although Song also feels that this person is innocent, he can achieve what he is today. Presumably it is not an ordinary person. I heard that this person once helped Emperor Yong to seize his son and also helped Qi Wang Pinghan. This kind of ability is rare in the world. General Lu can retreat to the Three Route Army of the Yong Army with his own strength. It’s also very unusual. No wonder everyone said that they had a friendship between the two of them, but General Lu, as a general of Southern Chu, should be righteous."

Shang Chengye stretched his hand and said: "That's right, Jiang Zhe failed the king's grace, and he turned over the enemy in order to be prosperous and wealthy and treasonous to the country, and his ministers married the king's wife. It was really rebellious. Although Lu Can received a career under his family, the Lu family was from the south. The Chu family should be righteous to destroy their relatives, but Lu Can not only defended Jiang Zhe in many ways, but even asked his son to go to Chang'an, which was quite suspected of colluding with the enemy. If it were not for his work this time, his father would never I'll let it go. And the Jing family in Jiaxing belongs to Jiang Zhe's mother's family, and his father deliberately removed the Jing family, and Lu Can also made trouble from it. It really makes no sense."

Yu Lun laughed and said: "This must be because the grandfather is too impatient. General Lu has always known the world for rewards and punishments, and he will definitely not agree to destroying people for no reason. But brother, although Jing and Jiang Zhe are already extinct I had a relationship, but after all, it is also Jianghou’s mother's family. Is the grandfather not afraid to offend this person?"

Shang Chengye said contemptuously: "If it wasn't for General Lu, my father had already acted on Jing's family. Although Jiang Zhe was famous, he was probably bragging about the face of Princess Changle. , The father of this person had also seen him in the past. If he is really talented, how can he fail to see it? This person may have some conspiracy and tricks. The matter of seizing the protagonist at the beginning may indeed be a lot of effort, but if he can help Li Xian eliminate The Northern Han Dynasty, I don’t believe it. What can he, a literati who has no power to bind a chicken, do? I’m afraid it’s just to monitor Emperor Li Xian of Qi."

Hearing this, Yulun already knew that the upper class of Nanchu really did not look down upon Jiang Zhe very much, and he could guess that this might be a means by Shang Weijun and others to maintain morale by belittling the enemy, but only by looking Even Shang Chengye didn’t understand Jiang Zhe’s talents. He knew that Shang Weijun and others might not look down on Jiang Zhe more. He was taught by Jiang Zhe in the past, and he naturally knew the harm of such underestimation. Naturally, he doesn’t want to reverse Shang Chengye’s perceptions, but he just smiles: “Since this is the case, if it’s the case that the master is slow, it will be effective if you want to. The Jing clan is also a family, there must be unscrupulous children. Just deal with one person, even if General Lu intends to maintain it, can he still be embarrassed for one or two people and the grandfather?"

Shang Chengye's eyes lit up and he wondered about the feasibility of this method. After thinking for a long time, he smiled triumphantly. He wanted to use this technique not only to satisfy his father's wishes, but also to secretly attack Lu. If his father knew , Will definitely be very satisfied.

After seeing this, he knew that Shang Chengye had already entered the ring, so he deliberately changed the subject. He was very proficient in melody and poetry, and it was a good idea to talk about some anecdotes. Shang Chengye also quickly forgot the episode of the talent. Just concentrate on having fun.

In the middle of the night, the crowds on the streets are gradually dissipating. Shang Chengye was already too strong to drink, and helped the beautiful woman into the inner room to find pleasure, but Yulun stood in front of the window and looked at the west. Mingyue's expression is dim. When the night is quiet, he always finds it difficult to get rid of the loneliness in his heart, so he usually indulges his sensuality until dawn, but tonight is different. He knows that someone is watching him in the dark, and those people have begun to drive away Pedestrians in the past, lest they have a chance to get into the crowd and escape, and he just wants to give them a chance. He took a sober medicine from his waist and took it, secretly working for several times, feeling that his energy and mind have stabilized. He gently pressed the window lattice, and his body fell on the street like a flying geese, like a flower falling to the ground, quietly.

There was a soft voice in the dark. Not long after, in the vast morning mist, the figure of a woman in Tsing Yi appeared. The woman was covered with a light veil. Although she only walked slowly, she had a noble and graceful temperament. Behind her, the two maids closely followed. Neither of them concealed their faces, but showed their beautiful and beautiful faces. At first glance, they knew that they would not be over twenty years old, but their domineering sword spirits People can't believe that these two people are not in their 20s.

Yu Lun looked at the three women, Jun Yi’s face showed a cynical smile, and said: “It turns out that Yueyingxuan still has such a beautiful female swordsman. Song Mou really admires it, but I don’t know how many girls are worth. ?"

The two girls both showed awe-inspiring murderous aura. Although the woman standing in the middle had her face hidden under the veil, her eyes also showed cold murderous intent. She said coldly: "Song Yu, you Since I like to be glib, if I kill you, it would not be considered innocent."

Song Yu smiled slightly and was about to speak, but saw the woman in Tsing Yi waved her hand. The two girls had already swooped on with their swords, their swords gleaming, revealing infinite murderous intent, these two girls have outstanding sword skills, and The cooperation was very tacit, and Song Yu was a little confused for a while. The two girls were energetic, and even more assassins, forcing Song Yu to retreat again and again. The Tsing Yi woman nodded slightly, seemingly satisfied with the swordsmanship of the two maids. At this moment, the situation suddenly changed. Song Yu staggered and fell backwards. The two girls swung their swords and cut down at the same time. At the moment of the moment, Song Yu's figure looked like a fish swimming, falling from two swords. Going out, at the same time he fingered the folding fan in his hand, and two black flashes fell into the throats of the two girls at the same time. The two girls' bodies trembled at the same time and fell down, and Song Yu had already stood aside as if nothing had happened. The Tsing Yi woman's expression was shocked, her eyes turned on the two girls, and she said coldly: "A vicious hidden weapon, smiling and killing, your excellency is so vicious."

Song Yu showed a faint arrogance on his face and sneered: "Song has killed countless people, and has never had the heart of pity and cherishment. These two girls are lessons for the past. Can the girl still fight Song?"

The woman in Tsing Yi said coldly: "Your Excellency is so arrogant. When this seat became famous, you probably hadn't been a teacher yet. Look at the sword." The voice did not stop, and a sharp sword was pointed to Song Yu's chest. His body flew back with the sword, and the two of them seemed to have cooperated the last 10,000 times, and there was no gap in the human sword. When the sword was almost exhausted, the folding fan in Song Yu's hand protruded. This trick reached the peak. The woman in Qingyi was caught off guard, returned the sword to block, Song Yu took advantage of the momentum to attack, and the two fought hard in the mist. The swordsmanship of the woman in Tsing Yi was magical, reflecting the moonlight sinking in the west, the sword light was like snow, and the dazzling streamer and rainbow shrouded both of them. Song Yu's posture is light, dancing in the sword light endlessly, the folding fan in his hand opens and closes suddenly, every movement is so clear and smooth, chic and elegant, without any murderous intent, but as long as the woman in Tsing Yi reveals a little flaw , His moves will become vicious and ruthless, pass through the sword net of the woman in Tsing Yi silently, take the vitals, forcing her to return to the sword to protect him. After a hundred or ten moves, the two are still evenly matched. The more murderous in the eyes of the Tsing Yi woman, she had already become famous more than ten years ago, and she could not expect to be forced to a tie today by a young man who is seven or eight years younger than herself.

At this moment, above the tall building on the other side, there was a soft shout: "Stop." Then a purple shadow flew down, separating the Tsing Yi woman and Song Yu, and the two looked at it intently. The visitor was an old man in purple clothes. He had a dignified appearance and a majestic expression. Although he had no weapons, his hands were as white as jade and were very dazzling. There was a flash of light in Song Yu's mind, and he had already thought of the identity of this old man. This person was the master Mianli Zangzhen Euro Ning personally hired by Shang Weijun. It is said that this man's martial arts is unfathomable and he is said to be close to his innate realm. He is Shang Weijun's confidant, and he did not expect to appear here. Thinking of the identity of this person, Song Yu made a respectful and respectful look, and he dared not say a word. The woman in Tsing Yi frowned slightly, it seemed a little difficult to decide.

The old man said indifferently: "Thank you girl, this man is a close friend of Lord Shang, and the grandfather also knows a lot about him. Everyone works for the grandfather, why kill each other? You tell Ji what I mean. First seat and Yan first seat, they will understand."

The woman in Tsing Yi finally sighed, retracted the sword and sheathed it, and then turned to leave. Not long after, a few middle-aged women appeared and took away the bodies of the two girls. The old man sighed softly, and said: "Qing Ben, how can I be a thief, I can't think of the famous disciple of the past, it is a pity that I have fallen to this point today. Song Yu, the old man has already noticed that you, in the name of the ruthless son, You have committed countless major cases in Nanchu. Some people call you the number one killer in Jiangnan. You didn't disappear until a few years ago. I didn't expect you to live in Jianye. What is your purpose in approaching my son?"

Song Yu didn't panic in his heart, but he showed panic and murderous intentions that were revealed on his face. He warned and said: "Senior Ou wants to punish evil and promote good? Although Song used to kill people, now It's already a golden basin to wash hands. As for the monk's friendship, it is not intentional." He can feel the old man's eyes fixed on his face. If he reveals a flaw, he will definitely incur a thunderous blow from the old man. However, what he said was nothing false. The exchange between him and Shang Chengye was indeed unintentional, but it was now being used by him to complete the task. As for the disclosure of the killer's identity, it was intentional, and this could explain his unpredictable whereabouts for more than ten years.

Sure enough, the old man smiled and said: "The old man doesn't care about these nostalgias, but I just feel a little pity, Song Min, you are a young talent, but unfortunately you have become a killer. Now you have changed your evil and returned to the right, and you can be considered as lost. You and the son really got acquainted unintentionally, but even if you have the intention to approach the son and ask for a step into the body, it is not a mistake. The grandpa attaches great importance to you, and has made you take away your case. From now on No one will find that you are a ruthless son, and it’s not difficult for you to gain fame from the right path."

Song Yu showed a weird look on his face. It seemed that he was found out by the old man because of his youth. He was a little embarrassed. He also seemed to be very grateful for Shang Weijun’s kindness. He bowed deeply and said: "Being embarrassed late, let down After the first strict instruction, it's just that Song has traveled around the world and has no idea of ​​fame. He also asked the senior to show his late birth to the sire. However, the younger son is like brothers, so the late birth is determined to do something for the son, if the sire thinks It’s not right, you don’t have to meet the monk no longer in the late birth."

The old man’s eyes flashed, then softened, and said lightly: "So, you have no intention of fame, and the old man is not strong, but you have to keep yourself safe, and you can’t be so ruthless. Today In the face of the old man, they let them go. If they know that you are no longer under the shelter of the Shangxiang, you will inevitably suffer a tragic revenge. Since your monk is familiar with each other, you should be sure of it. You have to do it yourself."

Song Yu heard this, sneered in his heart, knowing that this old man was forcing himself to work for the Shang clan. If he wanted to get away, he would be killed, but he had predicted this situation and deliberately revealed it. With an expression of panic, he leaned over and said, "Thank you for the predecessor's teaching~IndoMTL.com~Song Yubai." When he raised his head again, the purple-clothed old man was nowhere to be seen. Song Yu smiled slightly, but a ray of melancholy came to his mind. He took the task and approached Shang Chengye. Through this person influencing Shang Weijun’s decision, the danger of this task is known, but he was alone at the beginning. Naturally fearless, but now he has concerns, just hope that Liu Rumeng will not be hurt.

Song Yu couldn't think of it. At this moment, a graceful man was looking at him through the bead curtain. After Song Yu's figure disappeared, the man sighed softly and said to a middle-aged man behind him: "So A person is stranded in Jianye, why we haven't noticed it."

The middle-aged man said with fear and sincerity: "The first seat, this is no way. Our Chentang’s power in Jianye has been suppressed by Yihuangtang. Naturally, the news is not good. If it weren’t for our spies to find out, please Thanks to the protector, I don’t know about this yet?"

The graceful man was Wei Ying, and he said coldly: "This Song Yu is extraordinary and has a deep mind. Seeing that he has the ability to help Liu Rumeng win the position of the oiran, I know that this talent is more intelligent. Such a person should be recruited, but Ji is the first person to kill and vent his anger. It is really short-sighted."

The middle-aged man didn't dare to talk, but was silent. Wei Yin sneered: "It's a pity that this person still fell into Shang Weijun's palm, so I can only treat him as an enemy, and send someone to pay attention to him. Repay." The middle-aged man answered the promise repeatedly, and Wei Yin's eyes flashed coldly. He always felt that this young man would cause him a lot of trouble, but if he kills him, he might offend Shang Weijun. He doesn't want the monk to turn his face. , Can only sigh lightly, saying: "The enemy is already ready to move, but here is just a fight, really chilling, alas!"
