After saying goodbye to Yu Qingqing, before Bai Song returned to the book club, a figure in the street and back alley attracted Bai Song's attention.
"Sword Thirteen?"
"It's me."
"How are you?"
In the darkness, the figure took two steps forward, gradually revealing its features.
Jian Shisan was still the same, standing there indifferently, with no emotion or any injuries visible.
Seeing this, Bai Song felt a little at ease.
Jian Shisan said: "I heard you want to see me?"
"Of course, I need your help with something urgent."
"Is there anything more important than rescuing the young lady?"
"Exactly for this."
"I'll handle this myself when I go back."
"You're going to do it yourself? What are you going to do? Are you going to join the Secret Order again?"
"My lady can join the secret edict for you, but you can't do this for my lady?"
"If you are absolutely confident, I will go with you, not to mention entering the Imperial Palace, not to mention the Imperial Palace. But you should also know that with our current capabilities, what is the point of this method other than to die?"
Jian Shisan glanced at Bai Song coldly: "It sounds like you have another way?"
"The mission assigned by the emperor is that as long as we can extinguish the Holy Lotus Sect, we can let Qing'er and the others go."
"You agreed?"
"What other choice do I have?"
"And you want me to help you?"
"Of course, there are many masters in the Holy Lotus Sect, and one more helper is worth it."
"Why should I help you? In the past, I just followed the lady's instructions. Now that the lady has been arrested, I have no reason to listen to you anymore."
Bai Song frowned, not expecting to get such an answer, but after thinking about it carefully, he could understand that although Jian Shisan was expressionless, Bai Song would definitely be blamed for the arrest of all the Mo family members, so there was something in his heart.
Resentment. Moreover, he was telling the truth. Bai Song had long thought that he could not control the people of the Mo family. Looking at it now, it was indeed the case.
"Treat it as cooperation. You represent the Mohist family to annihilate the Holy Lotus Sect for the imperial court. After you have done a great job, the imperial court will rehabilitate the Mohist family. Does this count as a reason?"
"Hmph! What the court says are all lies! You actually believe it? No one from the Mo family will ever serve the court."
"If you don't serve the imperial court, are you going to watch the people of the Mo family die? Now besides trusting the imperial court, what else can you do? Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, you have to fight for it. Don't forget, Mo Zhu was also arrested.
"
Jian Shisan frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.
Bai Song said solemnly: "Since you came to see me, it proves that you don't want to die and want to save people. This is the only peaceful solution at the moment. Think about it, Qing'er asked the three of you to stay in Bai Mansion temporarily in the first place, wasn't it just to let the three of you stay temporarily?
Don't you have anything to do with the Holy Lotus Sect? The Holy Lotus Sect is not a good thing in the first place. This trip is to eliminate harm for the people, so what can you say to shirk it?"
At this point, the results have actually come to fruition.
Jian Shisan was silent again, and after a moment he finally nodded: "I can help you, but destroying the Holy Lotus Sect is a task that even the imperial court cannot accomplish. You'd better be mentally prepared. This trip is a narrow escape. I dare not
Whether the emperor keeps his promise and whether we can come back alive is still a question mark."
"Don't worry, I will definitely come back this time!" Bai Song was very confident, because there were still many people waiting for him here.
"Count me in!"
A deep voice came from behind, and Long Shanshan limped over, holding on to the wall.
"Longshan Mountain? Why are you still in Chang'an?" Bai Song looked a little surprised when he saw this person.
"I said I would find a way to save you, but I didn't expect that you have been released by the Dog Emperor before I healed my wounds. I, Long Shanshan, have never owed anyone such a big favor in my life. Why don't I return this favor?"
It would be more uncomfortable than my death. Although I don't work for the imperial court, since I am dealing with the Holy Lotus Sect, I am willing to go with you."
As Long Shanshan said, he came to the two of them, looked at Jian Shisan lightly, and said coldly: "Although I am no match for Jian Shisan, I can still kill ten or eight people from the Holy Lotus Sect. Bai Song,
You don’t look down on me, do you?”
Bai Song patted Long Shanshan on the shoulder: "How is it possible? I am naturally happy that you can help, but you should also know that this trip is dangerous and you may die at any time."
"Ahem..." Long Shanshanshan coughed twice, "It doesn't matter if you die, it's not a loss to repay the favor."
"Regardless of life or death, we all have to come back alive."
Bai Song stood between the two of them, holding their shoulders, feeling somewhat confident in his heart.
"Let's go out of the city overnight. Half a year is short or long. We first go to Yizhou to destroy the rebellious Holy Lotus Sect."
…
Riding fast on horseback, Bai Song bid farewell to Chang'an for the time being under the darkness of night.
The three of them on this trip all had strong inner strength, and with the help of fast horses, they ran wildly all the way day and night.
He only stopped to give Long Shanshan the chance to recuperate and receive physical therapy.
Thanks to the medical skills of the Bai Song Dynasty, Long Shanshan's injury gradually improved during the journey.
Four days later, the three of them passed through Jingzhou.
Bai Song decided to stay in Jingzhou temporarily because he heard on the official road that all the troops stationed in Jingzhou Prefecture rushed to the front line of Yizhou. Due to the empty city defense, a large number of martial arts people poured in, and among these martial arts people were many people from the Holy Lotus Sect.
, intending to cause trouble in the rear of the war zone and contain Li Jing's army under Chengdu.
After leaving Chang'an and no longer in front of the emperor, Jingzhou once again crossed the main road, and the market was obviously more quaint.
In Chang'an, martial arts practitioners would wrap their weapons with cloth strips and generally not expose them to the outside world.
Arriving in Jingzhou City, Bai Song saw many people dressed in strange clothes and carrying various arrogant weapons, walking rampant in the streets.
Although there are many people in the city, they are obviously more cautious than the people in Chang'an. Anyone who sees the shape of Longshan Mountain will stay away and will not look at it more.
Long Shanshan looked pretty good, but he had scars on his face, his aura was exposed, and he was carrying a knife. At first glance, he was not someone to be trifled with.
Jian Shisan is a quiet person. Compared with Bai Song, he looks mature. Compared with Long Shanshan, he looks like a young man. His skills and momentum are restrained, and he looks ordinary.
As for the Bai Song Dynasty, he still looks like a scholar.
If the three of them dispersed and stood on the streets of the city, no one would notice them, but it was really weird for the three of them to gather together and walk side by side.
Bai Song looked at the strange looks around him and thought they were a little strange. He whispered: "When we enter the city, the officers and soldiers guarding the city don't question us?"
"This is already the hinterland of the Central Plains. Jingzhou Prefecture connects the north and the south. There are countless weirdos coming and going, and there are many martial arts people in the city. As long as no trouble is committed, the government will turn a blind eye."
Longshanshan said casually.
As soon as I finished speaking, my stomach growled, feeling a little embarrassed.
Bai Song looked at a restaurant in front of him: "I've been traveling for days and haven't had a good meal. Let's go get something to eat first."
