Although there is still an endless stream of cars and horses in front of Bafangpu today, the business is not as prosperous as usual. There are only about 40 tables of tea tables with only six or seven tables of customers, which is completely depressed.
In an inconspicuous corner of the shop, there was a tea table filled with four people.
Xue Qinghuan drank the fragrant and sweet tea in the cup, but her mouth was still extremely bitter.
The people sitting opposite him and to his left were wearing blue and white robes like Liu Shang Qushui. They all seemed to be elegant people, and they all came from Yiqu Liunian Pavilion.
But if you look carefully, you may be able to see some clues.
Among these two people, one is a little thin and sickly, while the other is more delicate and more like a woman. Although both of them have a jade flute on their waist, it is worth considering whether they are really good at music theory.
It was not these two people who made Xue Qinghuan feel bitter and have a headache, but a thirty-year-old man who sat on his right hand side not long ago.
The man was wearing a navy blue suit, the cuffs on his hands and feet were tied very tightly, he had short hair, a pair of thick sword eyebrows, his pupils were as deep as black gemstones with a lustrous look, and his skin was slightly rough.
It seems that it is caused by weathering, and it is precisely because of this that when a person shows a friendly attitude, his face appears extremely kind, and his eyes are quite sincere, which must make people feel warm in the cold winter and not feel the slightest hostility.
Ever since this kind man came uninvited, no one at the tea table has been pouring tea, drinking tea, using chopsticks to eat snacks, and no sound has been heard again.
After a while, this kind man finally broke the silence.
"I didn't expect that after the Hundred Flowers Conference, the world would change so much that even a fleeting pavilion would accept women." The kind man's nasal voice was a bit deep and thick, which made people feel mature and steady.
"Ahem..."
Hearing this, Xue Qinghuan frowned, added a cup of tea for herself, took a sip casually, cleared her throat without putting the tea cup down, and said: "When Yiqu Liunian Pavilion was founded, it was originally for arty elegance.
It provides a communication platform for like-minded people, regardless of gender. There were no women in the past, but it doesn’t mean there won’t be women now, and it doesn’t mean there won’t be women in the future.”
Xue Qing stopped clicking happily, without further explanation, and said in a low tone: "However, what you said is not bad. A Hundred Flowers Conference has disrupted the entire martial arts world. The current situation is really confusing.
Tou. Two days ago, we just passed by Xiao Yincai's sword from the Yinsha Sect. We don't know where he went alone. But today, we encountered the gold medal killer of the Soul Searching Hall waiting here. Is it possible to return?
Does anyone think that the life of a little person like me in the fleeting pavilion is worth a few coins?"
"Master Xue Pavilion misunderstood." The kind man was Dong Qing, who fought equally with Zui Hongyan Mo Bo at the Hundred Flowers Conference. He first smiled lightly at the three of them to show friendship, but the smile was not from the heart.
It was more like forcing a smile on his face, but soon he looked a little stiff.
Dongqing let out a long sigh and gave up her pretense. Her brows and eyes were full of bitterness and loneliness, and she couldn't help but feel pity for the female disciple of the Liu Nian Pavilion.
He calmed down his emotions and said: "I think the three of you have also heard that Soul Searching Hall has been removed from the world."
After saying that, the expressions of the three people at the tea table did not change much.
Dong Qing continued: "On the day of the Hundred Flowers Conference, the palace also arranged for people to come to meet us, but their strength was still a little weaker and they were unable to break in to join us. Buyu and I only found their bodies.
Afterwards, we rushed back to the palace without stopping and found that more than thirty people above and below had been brutally murdered, and the master of the palace died a particularly tragic death."
As if recalling the tragic death of her fellow disciples, Dong Qing closed her eyes slightly, took the tea from Xue Qinghuan, drank it in one gulp regardless of whether it was warm or not, and said: "In recent years, the business in the palace has become increasingly sluggish.
, a lot of people died, and a lot of people left. But after all, it was the place where we grew up, so everyone wanted to hold on for a few more years, but who knew that everything ended so suddenly..."
Seeing the so-called cold-blooded and ruthless killer showing his affection for a moment and looking confused, the three people present couldn't help but sigh.
Dong Qing nodded silently, and then said seriously: "Although there is no conclusive evidence, it is no surprise that our Soul Searching Palace, like other gangs, was ruthlessly killed by that group of people. Wuyu's plan
Gather the eight brothers from the remaining two divisions and join the temples to take advantage of the opportunity to take revenge."
Dong Qing did not say clearly which group "that group of people" was, and he did not dare to say it clearly, but he believed that the three people here must know it.
As expected, Xue Qinghuan did not ask about "that group of people", but directly asked: "Brother Dongqing has other plans?"
Dong Qing moved her eyes away from Xue Qinghuan, leaned forward slightly, and only looked at the two silent people in the tea seat. She deliberately lowered her voice, with a hint of reluctance and humility, and said: "Dong Qing's
Plan, just want to see what you two are planning?"
Xue Qinghuan raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and after taking a look at the current situation, she saw that the two people who were named were still in a state of ignorance watching the excitement, and waved her hands angrily, as if to say: Everyone is coming to the door.
, still pretending to be stupid? Is it appropriate?
Dong Qing was quite puzzled when she saw this, secretly thinking that it was because her attitude was not sincere enough that the two of them ignored her, and quickly added in a low voice: "Dong Qing's visit here is indeed a little abrupt, but there is absolutely no malice. In the past few days, I
I have been thinking a lot, and I think that the destruction of today's gang has some similarities with the Shi Mansion in the past, and your gang has been traveling in all directions in recent years, so I think I must have something planned, so I came here to find you two to clear up my confusion."
When the word "Shifu" was mentioned, Dong Qing's voice was almost inaudible to show that she had no intention of revealing their identities.
Obviously, these two people who disguised themselves as disciples of Qiu Nian Pavilion were Meng Chaoge and Luo Piaoling, the two pavilion masters of Tingyu Pavilion who made Mo Shang lose his head.
On the day of the Hundred Flowers Conference, Tingyu Pavilion, Daoyi League, Wudang Emei and other sects evacuated Pinghai and soon split into two groups. Most of the troops followed the Daoyi League back to Jiangning, while the two pavilion masters disguised themselves as ordinary people and secretly
He exchanged identities with the two disciples of Yi Qu Liu Nian Pavilion brought by Xue Qinghuan and headed north together.
Although the trick is small, in this turbulent time when all parties are short of manpower, it is enough to confuse the public and make all forces think that Tingyu Pavilion has been doing nothing these days.
It's a pity that this move failed to completely conceal the truth and was blocked.
Xue Qinghuan glanced at Meng and Luo's two people's expressions, and knew that Dongqing was wasting her words. She rolled her eyes at the two people who were too lazy to speak, and said to Dongqing: "I think you can see clearly what they mean.
."
Dongqing was silent for a long time and said: "I understand that I can't gain your trust with these few words. But since I am lucky enough to meet you on this trip, it at least shows that I still have some fate with you. As a killer, I shouldn't believe in the so-called fate.
, but I don’t want to miss it this time.”
The two sentences express two meanings, one is that Dong Qing has the same intention, and the other is that they really happened to meet each other today, and now that they have met, he doesn't want to leave just like that.
Xue Qinghuan said: "What does Brother Dongqing mean?"
Dong Qing solemnly said: "Although the disguises of the two of you are unexpected, I can see that others can't. Although the master of the Snow Pavilion is superb in martial arts, it is not easy to protect the two of them at the same time. Regardless of the three
Wherever you go on this trip, it is difficult to say that the journey will be peaceful. Dongqing is willing to accompany you and try to keep everyone safe, but I ask for your permission. As for whether Dongqing is sincere or not, we will see with time as the road goes by."
This time Xue Qinghuan no longer helped convey Meng and Luo's wishes, and wanted them to give a happy message themselves.
Meng Chaoge and Luo Piaoling exchanged glances and confirmed that the senior brother also wanted to make his own decisions, and then slowly said: "Brother Dong is very sincere, but my senior brother and I are following the Master of the Snow Pavilion to the north to meet with fellow practitioners.
It may be inconvenient for those who are studying music theory through exchanges."
Dong Qing said: "Meng Pavilion, uh... Master of Snow Pavilion, don't refuse in a hurry. Dong Qing will only show up when you need him, and he won't let anyone notice that there is a fourth person traveling with him."
