Chapter 364: Ringer

The twenty years of Yongtai, autumn.
On a pleasant autumn morning, a carriage that looked plain and unpretentious was slowly moving forward on a road southeast of the capital.
The person who drove the car was named Zhao Yi, and he was the general flag of the Jinyiwei.
Of course, at this moment, General Zhao did not wear official uniforms or weapons; he had perfectly disguised himself as a middle-aged man with simple clothes and ordinary appearance, and in the eyes of ordinary people, he was just an ordinary coachman.
At this time, three people were sitting in the carriage behind Zhao Yi.
These three people, one is Sun Yixie, the other is Huang Donglai... and the other is Wei's name is Qian, and he is an eunuch in his sixties.
Seeing that the audience may have a good memory here, it has already thought of it. Yes, Wei Qian and Zhao Yi are the ones who have appeared briefly in the previous documents such as "Jiang Muchan's Night Break into the Lu Palace" and "Shuangxie Dahuo Lotus Sect".
At that time in Jining, Eunuch Wei lurked in the palace of Prince Lu, while General Zhao was hiding in the market. The two of them were looking for excuses to reduce the vassal states, collecting evidence, waiting for opportunities, and planning implementation...
Originally, this matter might have to be a year or two before it would have been a result. Unexpectedly, because of the harmonious journey of Jining, Jiang Muchan and others sang the good show of "going heroes and eliminating harm for the people", the process of the King of Lu's lineage was accelerated.
So, in the spring of this year, Eunuch Wei and General Zhao, who completed their mission ahead of schedule, returned to the capital to report their lives.
After that, both of them received good rewards, and in the next few months, the two men who returned to Dongchang and Jinyiwei did not receive such "long-term undercover" chores, and they had been idle for half a year.
Until not long ago, the treasure "Yanlong Bi" in the palace was stolen. After investigation, it was basically confirmed that it was done by the Japanese delegation who came to pay tribute not long ago.
The emperor intended to ask the two "National Protection Masters" Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai to recover the national treasures, and then he rumored that they entered the palace to talk.
But when Sun Huang entered the palace, he heard Zhu Zhen’s request. He went abroad and got the stolen goods back... It was extremely difficult to deal with.
The two of them started pretending to be grandson with the emperor on the spot, trying to shirk the task, but Zhu Wei refused to take their tricks and just decided to be the two of them.
Then there is no way, we must go, so let’s mention some “conditions”.
But the emperor didn't have the time to hear the hundreds or dozens of bullshit requests made by these two guys one by one, so Zhu Wei asked Eunuch Wei and Mr. Zhao...
This time, Wei and Zhao's work was not complicated, just to "pick up and drop off two heavenly masters" as similar to bodyguards and assistants.
Mr. Zhao has to be responsible for sending Shuangxie all the way to Ningbo's port and until their ship leaves the port. During this period, Mr. Zhao has to try his best to satisfy all the expenses of Shuangxie and what they have to prepare before departure.
Eunuch Wei had to accompany them on the boat and escort them all the way to Nagasaki, staying there, waiting for them to find the national treasure and prepare to return to the country as a support.
If Shuang Xie fails to complete his mission and dies in a foreign land, then Eunuch Wei is the person responsible for bringing their corpses back. Of course, if you can't even bring back the corpses, then you can just bring back the news of your death...
"By the way, Young Master Sun, the things you asked our family to pick up yesterday have been taken out. Do you want to see them now?" Inside the Cheyu, Eunuch Wei remembered what happened yesterday and said to Sun Yixie.
"Oh? You really got it?" Sun Yixie was stunned when she heard this, "Okay, let me see, what it is."
What are they talking about?
Here, the endorsement in our book is the last thing from the "Legend of the Four Thieves" that Sun and Huang found in Lanruo Temple.
The nickname of the Four Thieves and the specific situation of the other three things is not chewed and ground here. Anyway, except for recipes, mechanism pictures and secrets, the only thing left that has not been disposed of yet - a cabinet ticket from Baichuan Money House.
When Sun Yixie returned to Hangzhou last year, she actually went to the local Baichuan Money Bank branch in Hangzhou to ask if the tickets could be cashed. The shopkeeper was a little confused when he saw the tickets from more than 30 years ago. Anyway, the final conclusion was: According to the text that can be distinguished on this ticket, this ticket should correspond to a cabinet in the capital city of Baichuan Money Bank. But after so many years, no one can guarantee whether the items in the cabinet are still retained on the main account. I can only say that if you have the opportunity to go to the capital city, you can go to the main account to ask, but don’t have too much expectations.
In this way, Sun Yixie put this matter aside for the time being.
This time before he went to Beijing, he took the ticket with him. However, after coming to Beijing, there were a lot of things, and the ticket was not very urgent, so he forgot it in his luggage.
The day before leaving Beijing, Sun Yixiu packed his luggage and remembered this trip.
At this time, his thief came back, because he was afraid that the counter ticket would involve some grudges from his former owner thirty years ago, and that the things taken out of the counter would be poisonous or hidden murder mechanisms... He decided to ask others to help him get it, but he himself did not even show his face.
Then who should I look for?
Just so happen, didn’t the emperor arrange for Eunuch Wei and Mr. Zhao to take care of us? Then I’ll have a hard time.
So, the scene in front of me was here.
"Here, that's it." Eunuch Wei said, taking out a ring from his sleeve and handing it to Sun Yixie.
Sun Yixie took it, put it in the palm of his hand and looked at it: "That's it?"
Indeed, for Sun Yixi, who has seen many high-end jewelry, such a silver ring with ordinary workmanship and materials is not a thing that surprises him, nor is it like the legendary "Flying Thieves" who regard wealth as life, who would deliberately save it in Baichuan Money House.
He then asked Huang Dong to take a look, wanting to confirm whether the ring is a magic weapon or something, but the answer he got was no.
Sun Yixie, who was a little disappointed, could only accept the idea of ​​"If there is any hidden secret on this thing", and put it on his right thumb.
So...is there actually a secret?
Of course there is.
Shuangxiu didn't know that it was this thing that would involve them in the martial arts storm of "Six Kings Contend" in the future, but that was what happened after they came back from Japan, so I won't mention it here for now.
He also said that as the carriages of the four people were riding further and further away from the capital, the scenery on both sides of the road became more and more desolate.
Although they were walking on the main road, the official roads at that time were no longer as good as those of the current highways. It was normal that you could not see a traveler who could not see it when you were walking halfway.
At noon, the four of them encountered such a time when noon was around.
It was at this moment... they encountered something.
"Wow—" At this moment, General Zhao suddenly stopped the horse and stopped the car, and said to the three people in the car in a very calm tone, "There is someone robbing him in front of him."
"Ah?" Huang Donglai tilted his mouth when he heard this, "I just left the capital for half a day and someone robbed this road? The world is really not peaceful."
Everyone, look at his reaction, you will understand that he is confident.
A normal person, even if he is a person in the world, when he hears someone robbing the Tao... he is afraid, he will at least be alert to fight against the enemy, but Huang Donglai just sat there calmly and commented on social security.
Why is this?
It's very simple, because before the trip began, he and Sun Yixie inquired about it. Although the official position of the Eunuch Wei Qian and Wei around them was only the "five-tier" of the East Factory, his martial arts ranks second in the entire East Factory, and he is the one who is under the factory Wang Ting.
With such a person in charge here, the number of people in the robbery is probably not enough to see if there are less than one hundred people.
"Brother-in-law, why don't you... I'll let you do it?" Sun Yixie also planned to let Eunuch Wei go out for activities based on the idea that there was no need to do it by the emperor.
Unexpectedly, the next second, Zhao President Qi, who heard their conversation outside the car, followed again: "It's not robbing us, it's robbing others."
Only when the people in the car heard this realized that Mr. Zhao stopped the car not because someone stood in the middle of the road with a knife blocking their way, but because he saw that someone was already robbed in the distance.
"Ah?" Huang Donglai thought for a while and continued, "Then we have to take care of it, right?"
"The two young heroes want to take care of each other, so it's okay." Zhao Zongqi is actually a relatively decent person. Although his choice is greater than chivalrous in the face of major decisions, he still tends to help the people if conditions permit. "Or... will Zhao take action?"
"Can you do it alone?" Sun Yixie asked casually.
He originally wanted to be polite, and when Mr. Zhao replied, "No problem", he would then take the opportunity to say, "Then I'll leave it to you."
But Mr. Zhao replied: "It's okay, just a few thieves, you can tell at a glance that they have no martial arts skills. If they hadn't met a woman, they probably might not have dared to take action."
"What?" Hearing the word "woman", Sun Yixie's tone door suddenly pulled up. Within a second, his head opened the curtain from the car window and stretched out. His small eyes narrowed and immediately locked a carriage and a few figures a hundred meters away in front of him.
"Mom!" After scanning this glance, Sun Yixie retracted her head, then walked out of the front of the carriage and jumped out of the carriage. "It's bright and bright, and someone actually did something like a robbery! As a martial arts practitioner, how can I stand by and watch?"
"Wow~" Mr. Zhao was shocked at the time, thinking to himself, why is this Young Master Sun still calm and his feet look like he is injected with chicken blood?
He was still surprised here, and saw that Sun Yixi was already running out forward like a hyena chasing food.
At the same time, more than a hundred meters away.
Five or six gangsters holding knives were surrounding in an arc in front of a carriage, staring at them and confronting the people on the carriage.
The driver was a young woman. She looked like a picture-like face and pretty. Because she was slender and dressed in elegant women's clothing, she could tell from a distance that she was a young woman.
By the way, the direction of the carriage driven by the woman was the opposite of Sun Yixie and the others, that is, she was heading towards the capital. If her carriage was moving in the same direction as Sun Yixie and the others, Zhao Zongqi and Brother Sun would probably not be able to see the situation clearly even if they only looked at the rear of the carriage.
"Hehe... Little girl, I advise you to get off the car by yourself. Brothers are reluctant to hurt you. As long as you are obedient, we promise not to harm your life, are you brothers?" One of the robbers looked at the woman in the car, and her face was filled with joy.
The people standing beside him were also laughing with him, as if they had already outlined a scene of happiness with the beauty in front of him.
They didn't notice at all... At this moment, someone behind them was approaching quietly with a trident in his hand, preparing to attack them.
When someone sees this, someone may ask, Sun Yixi's martial arts skills are not low now, right? How can he use a sneak attack on several robbery fish?
It is true that Brother Sun, as he practices "turning the world" for a longer time, has been able to suppress many second-rate masters in the world in his internal strength. In addition, he is carrying treasure weapons and protective armor. It is said that it is no different from killing these thieves head-on and cutting grass.
But... the matter of "shooting a gun" is not only very consistent with his natural character, but also a fighting philosophy that he has been strengthened on Erxian Island. Therefore, in this case where he can attack, he basically does not make a second choice.
However, just when Sun Yixie was about to use a trident to sweep across the board and "cut" all the robbers in front of him from the back...
Puff puff puff...
The six robbers, one by one... fell to the ground.
Sun Yixie, who happened to be running near, quickly stopped the move and looked down, but saw that each of the people on the ground had a dark face and stopped breathing in a very short time.
"Oh, it's you." After a breath, the girl who was driving the bus suddenly spoke.
The voice seemed familiar, and Sun Yixie hurriedly looked up again and looked at the other person's appearance. After reacting for a few seconds, he smiled: "Ha... it turns out to be a girl Xin'er, long time no see."
Who is this Xin'er?
I wonder if you still remember that there was a story in the previous document that "Zuo Erye met a nobleman in the Yuting Pavilion, and the tiger in the stone was born again." In it, there was a pair of masters and apprentices. The master was Hu Ning'er, a genius doctor known as "The Fairy of the Wonderful Hand", and that apprentice is Xin'er.
After Huang Donglai lifted the "Shi Zhonghu" Xie Run, the master and apprentice helped cure Xie Run, who had only half his life left, after Huang Donglai lifted the "Shi Zhonghu" Xie Run. However, they did not get involved in the subsequent grudge between the Yong Escort Agency and Wujian Villa, but they just cured the person and left.
Now nearly a year has passed, but I didn’t expect that the two sides would meet each other again on the way.
"Who is your sister?" Xin'er immediately curled her lips and replied angrily, "Do I know you very well? I'm so intimate?"
"Xin'er." At this time, another woman's voice sounded in the car behind Xin'er, "Is Sun Yixi and Sun Young Master Sun?"
Sun Yixie could tell that this voice was Hu Ning'er.
"It's him." Xin'er turned around and responded, "I rushed over with the weapon and wanted to stand up for us."
"Oh, your mouth..." Hu Ning'er muttered Xin'er in a slightly stern tone, then stretched out her hand and gently lifted the curtain in front of the car, revealing her beautiful face of a mature woman, and said to Sun Yixi, "Thank you, Young Master Sun, for taking action for justice. Xin'er speaks rudely, don't blame her."
"Ha... what do you mean by senior?" Sun Yixie also took advantage of the situation when she heard this, "Everyone knows you, Sister Xin'er..." He said this, and was glared at Xin'er, and then changed his words, "...If Miss Xiner doesn't speak like this, I'm not used to it." He paused, "Besides, I didn't do anything. If I knew that you were senior in the car, then I wouldn't have overestimated myself from the beginning."
At this point, Sun Yixie also understood that these people on the ground were knocked down by Hu Ning'er with poison, which means that it is the same whether he comes to help or not. These people who robbed Dao'er could not pose any threat to Hu Ning'er's master and disciple.
"Young Master Sun is too humble, and your chivalrous act is not to be overwhelmed." Hu Ning'er said, "It is a blessing that the younger generation in the martial arts world have a talent like you."
The two of them just said politely back and forth. During this process, Mr. Zhao, who had been watching from a distance for a while, drove the car slowly over.
Then Huang Donglai came out of the car and greeted the two old acquaintances. After some greetings, both sides went their separate ways.
None of them asked where the other party was going or what they were doing... This is also the default rule of the people in the martial arts world. If the other party is not familiar with you, it is best to ask less questions or talk less about such things, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to the other party or themselves.
As for the corpses of the gangster just now, they were exposed to be in the wilderness, and no one cares about them...
In that year, this was nothing new.
"So the two... also have a friendship with Dongxi Du?" After the two men parted, after a while, another person in Hu Ning'er's carriage spoke.
It was a girl who looked only twelve or thirteen years old, but her expression and tone seemed very mature, even surpassing Hu Ning'er, who was nearly forty years old in terms of momentum.
"It's okay, but it's not too deep." Hu Ning'er answered cautiously. He did not reveal any information in his words to make people reason about how this "friendship" came about. She immediately asked, "Look at the tone of the poster Ling, do you know them?"
"I've met you once, but... they didn't really 'seen me'." Ling Shenger replied.
Hu Ning'er understood what she meant, so she didn't say this in detail, but continued to chat: "With the eyes of the Tower Lord Ling, what do you think of these two young heroes?"
Ling Shenger thought for a while: "I thought these two people were weird before, but they were indeed a little capable..." She paused when she said this, and her tone gradually became a little hesitant, "And when I saw it just now..."
The words came to an abrupt end.
Because she would go further, she would not be able to say it.
Just now, Ling Shenger was sitting in the carriage. Although she did not poke her head out, she still quietly looked outside the car from the edge of the curtain that Hu Ninger lifted.
By chance, her eyes fell to Sun Yixie's hand and saw the silver ring that had just been worn by Sun Yixie.
As the owner of the largest intelligence organization "Tingfeng Tower", Ling Shenger is naturally knowledgeable and does not recognize the ring, but she recognizes it.
And the information about this ring "in Sun Yixie's hands" was recorded by her.
