The majestic Luoyang City, the eastern capital of the Tang Dynasty, is not inferior to Chang'an in terms of scale, but even more prosperous.
Li Xin'an and the other two arrived here nine days later, more than twenty days later than expected.
This period of time is enough for many changes to occur.
Li Xin'an was basically confirmed as the murderer of Mu Jingcheng. The mysterious deaths of more than 80 people in Shennongjia were later confirmed to be the work of "Zhi Ma", the black envoy of Demon Shadow Pavilion.
, whose purpose is to avenge Xuanyuan Youpeng.
As soon as they entered Luoyang City, the three of them were targeted.
"Luoyang has outstanding people and is the hometown of Tiance Mansion. I really can't underestimate it." Li Xin'an said, "Those two sneaky people behind you, which family do you think they belong to, Mr. Lu?"
"The people in Tiance Mansion have always been upright and upright in Luoyang. These two people may be here to hunt you down," Lu Qingdai said.
"The last time I came to Luoyang, I came to kill a court official." Li Xin'an sighed, "I didn't expect that this time, I would become meat on the chopping board."
"Stop talking nonsense." Lu Qingdai said, "Where are you going next?"
"Master Lu escorted me to Luoyang, but he didn't think about what happened after arriving in Luoyang?"
Lu Qingdai shook her head and said: "I didn't think so much about it at that time, and so many changes happened along the way, the original plan didn't work anymore. As soon as I arrived in Luoyang, I planned to meet Gu Yi, Feng Yao and the others to go north to the three towns with you.
, I don’t know if they are coming now.”
"Murong Bai returned to Tianji Tower. Calculating the days, he will come back later than us. It should take Gu Yi and the others two days to arrive." Li Xin'an said, "In this case, let's go and meet him first.
Ye Qizhou Bian."
"Do the people in the Blood Clothes Hall know that you are coming?" Lu Qingdai asked.
"I don't know, I didn't contact them along the way, but I can go find them." Li Xin'an smiled and said, "Let's go, Mr. Lu, I will take you to meet the world's number one killer organization back then."
"What about the two people in the back?"
"Don't worry, our Tiger Hall of Blood Clothes Hall is quite capable in Luoyang City. As long as it's not Tiance Mansion, no one dares to touch us." Li Xin'an smiled and said, "Just let them follow, two little shrimps, turn over
I can’t afford too many storms.”
The three of them walked for a while and finally arrived at a prosperous mansion in Luoyang West City. The owner's surname was Yang, and the gilded plaque with the words "Yang Mansion" was very impressive.
In broad daylight, the door of Yang Mansion was closed tightly. Li Xin'an stepped forward and knocked on the door. Not long after, someone came over and opened the door, cursing.
"Who dares to smash the door of our Yang Mansion? I don't want to live!"
The concierge opened the door with an annoyed look on his face, and Li Xin'an smiled and said, "Hey, He Guang, I haven't seen you for a few years, why are you still here looking after the door? You didn't do the errand I promised you last time."
The concierge He Guang looked at the familiar face in front of him and felt cold for a long time before he lost his voice and said: "Tang..."
The word "lord" was covered by Li Xin'an's mouth and did not come out.
"You are also an old man from the Blood Clothes Hall. Why are you so excited?" Li Xin'an said with a smile, "How many people are there? Are uncle and Zhang Quan there?"
"Yes." He Guang whispered, "Master, please come in."
Li Xin'an walked into the Yang Mansion, and Lu Qingdai and Xiao Xuangan followed, but were stopped by He Guang, who looked suspicious.
"Why stop them? We are the same as those who came a few days ago."
"Has anyone come here in the past few days?" He Guang frowned and asked, "Master, Tiger Hall has not had any brothers from other places come here recently."
Li Xin'an's face darkened: "You mean, since Zhang Quan and the others arrived in Luoyang, no other disciples have come to Tiger Hall?"
"No."
Xiao Xuangan frowned and said, "How is that possible? Zhou Bian and Ye Qi will definitely come here."
"Brother, I have never heard of these two names." He Guangdao, "To be honest, Hall Master, the incident in Shennongjia has been making waves in the world. Ever since the news that you killed Mu Jingcheng came out.
, Hall Master Yang immediately ordered Cousin Tiger to
I am on full alert and ready to respond to you at any time. During this period, there are indeed no other disciples from the Blood Clothes Hall who have come to the Tiger Hall. Not to mention the Tiger Hall, there are not even people who have come to Luoyang to perform tasks."
"Is this the only entrance of your Blood Clothes Hall in Luoyang?" Lu Qingdai asked.
"Yes." Li Xin'an nodded, "There must be a hidden secret here. Ye Qi and the others followed Zhong Yiyi from Tiance Mansion. Maybe Tiance Mansion did something."
"Tiance Mansion?" He Guang looked strange, "Master, how come you got together with them?"
"It's a long story." Li Xin'an said, "Close the door and take me to see my uncle."
Yang Chong, the branch master of the Tiger Hall of the Blood Clothes Hall, is also the cousin of Li Xin'an's mother, Tao Huaping. According to his seniority, Li Xin'an calls him uncle. It is precisely because of this blood relationship that Li Xin'an trusts the most in the Blood Clothes Hall.
, that is, his uncle.
After hearing the news of Li Xin'an's arrival, Yang Chong hurried over. When the uncle and nephew met, they naturally had a lot to say.
But the current situation did not allow them to reminisce about the past, so after a few brief chats, Li Xin'an got down to the topic.
"Uncle, some time ago, two of my men came to Luoyang from Shennongjia with Zhong Yiyi from Tiance Mansion. I wanted them to come to you, but they didn't show up. Do you know about this?"
Yang Chong said: "As for your men, I have no news. But as for Zhong Yiyi, the unrest in Luoyang City during this period was caused by her."
"What's wrong with Zhong Yiyi?"
"After Li Xian's death, the position of commander-in-chief of Tiance Mansion was temporarily vacant. According to the rules, it was supposed to be taken over by someone from the royal family. But now, no one in the royal family has any attainments in martial arts, so there are many
Everyone is speculating that after Li Xian's death, his successor will no longer be a relative of the emperor."
"I have heard a little bit about this." Li Xin'an said, "Now, the person in power should be Li Xian's second disciple Tie Jingyao."
"It's not just him." Yang Chong said, "Over in Chang'an, the old man Xu Wei of Tiance Mansion is in charge; over in Yangzhou, there is also a faction of its own. As for Luoyang, besides Tie Jingyao, there is another person who can compete with him."
"Who?"
"Gao Xiaotian."
"Oh." Li Xin'an laughed dumbly, "It's incredible that such a arrogant name would appear in Tiance Mansion."
"Gao Xiaotian is not a good citizen." Yang Chong explained, "He was originally a bandit, but was later recruited by the Tiance Mansion, and climbed to his current position step by step. Regardless of his qualifications, strength, or connections, he is not the same as Tie Jingyao.
The head boy can be compared. If it weren't for Tie Jingyao's righteousness and the special status of Tiance Mansion, I'm afraid Gao Xiaotian would have completely controlled Tiance Mansion."
"The majestic Tiance Mansion is actually controlled by a person with a bandit background. What did Li Xian do back then?" Li Xin'an said with a bitter smile.
Lu Qingdai explained: "Li Xian is the most powerful among the previous commanders of Tiance Mansion. It is precisely because he is obsessed with martial arts and neglects scheming, so it is not surprising that he was kicked out of the cauldron."
Yang Chong looked at the veiled Lu Qingdai with curiosity. From the sound of her voice, she must be an extremely beautiful woman.
"Master, who is this?"
"Oh, a friend." Li Xin'an smiled, "I absolutely trust you, don't worry."
Li Xin'an had said so, and it was inconvenient for Yang Chong to continue asking questions. He paused and then said:
"This Gao Xiaotian is a very ruthless person. He is in charge of punishment in Tiance Mansion. Not only Tiance Mansion, but the entire Luoyang City is afraid of him."
Li Xin'an frowned and said, "Uncle, you just said that the recent unrest in Luoyang City is all because of Zhong Yiyi, but what does this have to do with Gao Xiaotian?"
"Because Gao Xiaotian wants to marry Zhong Yiyi."
"What?"
Li Xin'an said in astonishment: "Gao Xiaotian and Li Xian are of the same generation. Calculating their ages, they are more than enough to be Zhong Yiyi's grandfather."
Yang Chong nodded and said: "Gao Xiaotian wants to be the commander-in-chief of the day, but what he lacks is an identity. Zhong Yiyi is Li Xian's third disciple, and he is the smartest and most favored among the three disciples.
The one I have high hopes for. Lu Da is highly skilled but has an impulsive personality. Tie Jingyao is calm and composed, but lacks courage and is still immature. Only Zhong Yiyi is smart and decisive, but it’s a pity that she is a woman, otherwise she would definitely be the next head of Tiance Mansion.
Commander."
"If the people above are dissatisfied with Tie Jingyao, then they will definitely choose someone else. Gao Xiaotian has complete qualifications, prestige and connections, and if he marries Zhong Yiyi, no one in Tiance Mansion can compete with him." Li Xin'an frowned and said,
"But Tiance Mansion is the emperor's spy after all. Gao Xiaotian is so ambitious that he may not be able to get what he wants."
"That's not what we can care about." Yang Chong sighed, "Poor Zhong Yiyi, she is still young, but she wants to marry an old man. How could she be willing? She went to Shennongjia before, just to avoid Gao Xiaotian. This time she
When he returned to Luoyang, he was immediately controlled by Gao Xiaotian. Tie Jingyao protected his junior sister and led his men to rush to the place where Zhong Yiyi was imprisoned. The two waves of people fought all night, but Zhong Yiyi disappeared. Tie Jingyao was said to have been arrested.
He was seriously injured in bed by a mysterious master. As of now, the whole city is searching for Zhong Yiyi."
Li Xin'an was silent for a moment and said slowly: "I can't ignore this matter."
Yang Chong was shocked: "Master, what did you say?"
"I said I can't ignore it!"
"Do you have a deep friendship with Zhong Yiyi?"
"We met only a few times and didn't exchange a few words."
"Then why are you?"
Li Xin'an said in a deep voice: "On the one hand, my two brothers came back with Zhong Yiyi. If we want to find them, we must ensure Zhong Yiyi's safety. Secondly, Zhong Yiyi returned to Luoyang all because of me. Originally,
She was going to escort me back, but something went wrong on the way and many changes occurred."
"I can't let my girl be humiliated because of me. The Bloody Clothes Hall will take care of this matter."
Yang Chong's expression was complicated: "Master, you are the leader of the hall, so don't be emotional. Gao Xiaotian is not someone we can offend. This is not Chang'an, this is Luoyang. The words of the Blood Clothes Hall will not work."
"Hutang does not need to participate in this matter." Li Xin'an said calmly, "I only need to use my subordinates and confidants. Uncle, please call me Zhang Quan."
Yang Chong sighed: "It doesn't matter, you are the hall master, I have to listen to you."
After Yang Chong left, Lu Qingdai stretched out charmingly, supported her face with one hand, tilted her head and looked at Li Xin'an and said:
"Why do you have to stand up for a woman again?"
"What does it mean again? Who was it for last time?" Li Xin'an asked.
"What do you think?" Lu Qingdai gave him an invisible roll of her eyes.
Li Xin'an smiled lightly: "I don't want to owe you any favors. You have saved my life. I can't ignore Zhong Yiyi because I returned to Luoyang."
"Even if you don't hesitate to offend Gao Xiaotian?"
"Is Gao Xiaotian scary?" Li Xin'an said with a smile, "I have someone who is ninth in the world next to me."
Lu Qingdai said: "If he doesn't deal with you personally, I won't do anything."
"clear!"
"You are not allowed to provoke him!"
"……oh."
Li Xin'an said thoughtfully: "Actually, I really have plans to kill Gao Xiaotian. Firstly, I can repay the favor, and secondly, I can make Tie Jingyao owe me a debt. With this guarantee, the Bloody Clothes Hall will
