The water pavilion is cool and the pond pavilion is filled with wind.
In order not to disturb the old man Wang, Yang Zhaoxi and Xiaoman went out together, went to the pavilion of the former Qin Mansion, and sat down on the stone bench.
The Cow Palm Bowl led the two of them here, and then found an excuse to say goodbye and leave. Apparently he didn't want to stay here and be an eyesore. Yang Zhaoxi knew his good intentions, so he stood up to return the courtesy and watched him walk out of this place.
Xiaoman looked at the familiar pond pavilion and courtyard with mixed feelings in his heart. His deep eyes were bright and his mouth was slightly twitching: "Young Master, I still remember that a few days ago, Girl Qin and I had a fight here. At that time, I was so angry that I felt so angry on my hands.
I lost my sense of propriety, and actually... I hit you on the head with a stick. Xiaoman has always been so sorry in his heart!"
Yang Zhaoxi pretended to be crazy and said: "Yes, yes? Master, why can't I remember it at all?"
Seeing Xiaoman looking at him with a suspicious expression, he slapped his forehead and said with a smile, "Ouch! Maybe the blow with the stick was too hard and damaged his brain. Now even his memory has deteriorated! Eh? Where did he get his handsomeness?
Young lady? I don’t know what your name is? Would you like to spend the night with me, my young master, singing in the wind and moonlight?"
When Xiaoman saw his invisible appearance, he was immediately embarrassed and anxious: "Young boy! You come here to talk frivolously again! You... Xiaoman will never ignore you again."
After saying that, he stood up and was about to leave, but Yang Zhaoxi grabbed his arm and pulled him back into his arms: "Young Master is joking with you, do you have to take it seriously? How about I make amends to you?"
Xiaoman's cheeks were red, and he couldn't break away several times, so he had to surrender and said: "Master, you... let go of Xiaoman quickly, it won't be good if others see you... Isn't it okay if Xiaoman doesn't run away? Master, um
…”
Xiaoman wanted to say more, but his delicate lips were tightly blocked by a sandalwood mouth, and he could no longer make a sound. His arms tried to push him away, but they were already sore and weak, and he had no strength left, so he had to let it go.
Give.
After a long time, the two reluctantly separated.
Xiaoman looked around with a guilty conscience, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that no one was watching. A pink fist suddenly came out, and Yang Zhaoxi retreated three feet in shock. Then she said, half angry and half strange: "Huh! In broad daylight... you are so bold.
Baotian!"
Yang Chaoxi said with a playful smile: "I just saw how cute you were, and I couldn't hold it back for a while. It seems that I have to avoid you in the future, so as not to be indecisive again and do something wrong. Hehe!"
Xiaoman immediately rolled his eyes and said, "You are so smooth and shameless!"
At this time, a handsome and dignified young man in splendid clothes waved the wind in his hand and walked gracefully. When he got six feet away from Xiaoman, he stopped, put away the wind, made a flame with his hands and said: "Bushan
Let Li Shaochen pay homage to the saint!"
Xiaoman's eyes dimmed, and he said with a displeased expression, "Just call me Shuangyue Dharma Protector. I wonder why Shaochen came here?"
Li Shaochen lowered his head and glanced at Yang Chaoxi from the corner of his eye, flashing with deep jealousy. Fortunately, Yang Chaoxi glanced aside and ignored the movement on his side, and immediately said respectfully: "Master Wang
Please send me an order to protect Dharma Shuang Yue and return to the religion as soon as possible. We have something important to discuss with you!"
Seeing his eyes twinkling, Xiaoman guessed that there was something else going on. Although he was very reluctant, he still nodded and said, "I understand. You go back and report to the leader first. I will come back later."
However, Li Shaochen did not move an inch, clasping his hands and insisting: "The situation is urgent! Please protect Shuangyue and leave immediately. Don't be embarrassed by me."
Xiaoman's deep eyes were slightly cold, and his silver teeth were grinded as he said: "Li Shaochen, are you teaching me how to behave?!"
"I'm so humble, I don't dare." Li Shaochen lowered his head, his tone still neither humble nor arrogant.
However, Yang Chaoxi did not doubt that he was there, and immediately clasped his hands to make a flame, with a face as bright as spring breeze and said: "Xiaoman, since the leader of the church has called, Wang Sou's affairs must be postponed. Why don't we rush back quickly to avoid missing the church?"
A major event."
Xiaoman was about to respond when he heard Li Shaochen say in an indifferent tone: "Chishui Protector! Master Wang did not order anyone else to follow him. Besides, when important matters are discussed in the sect, there is no need for guests to attend the meeting. If you are summoned again someday, I humbly accept it."
Come and invite me again!"
Yang Zhaoxi immediately frowned when he heard this. Li Shaochen had some impression of this good deed. When the Tongyuan Canal disaster happened, he ignored his dissuasion and deliberately misinterpreted the sacred laws of Zoroastrianism in the name of a holy nun and incited a group of missionaries and believers.
, performed a "Zoroastrian Sacred Law" that caused a sensation in Luoyang.
It was the criticized method of "public determination of good and evil" and the punishment of "using evil to control evil" that was given to Taiwei Palace and Henan Prefecture. After that, they quickly persuaded the Luocheng Xingying, Daomen, Shimen, and famous families
They waited for their elites to intercept the Holy Maiden outside Luoyang City, and almost destroyed Zoroastrianism...
At this time, I saw Li Shaochen again, and his words were quite disparaging, and I felt a little unhappiness in my heart. Thinking of the scene I saw in the Qin family's old house yesterday, the acting leader Wang Bing and the other guardians seemed to want to use their status as a saint to bring him to the throne.
Xiaoman was imprisoned in the teaching, and he couldn't help but feel suspicious. So he said with a gloomy face:
"If this is really the case, Yang will temporarily stay with the Beggar's Gang. But there was something wrong with what Yang requested yesterday, and Shuangyue Dharma Protector was not able to take action yet. If the teaching is over, she will still be needed to help. In this way,
Please ask Li Shengshi to bring it!"
When Xiaoman heard what he said, he knew that he was trying his best to protect her, and his heart warmed up a little. He hurriedly put his hands together and said, "Don't worry, young master! I think Leader Wang is here to discuss the matter of 'rekindling the holy fire' with Xiaoman."
Consider the details. When the old man here wakes up and is a little more energetic, the young master will come to Ningrenfang to find me!"
After Xiaoman finished speaking, he turned around helplessly, followed Li Shaochen out of the Chiting courtyard and walked out of Jishan Hall on the fluttering lotus steps.
Yang Zhaoxi watched Xiaoman leave, feeling agitated in his chest, but he couldn't explain it.
After calming down a little, he went to visit Xiaodouzi, and couldn't help but offer some kind words to comfort him. Then he called the little monkey and taught him how to punch and kick. After seeing that he gradually became familiar with it, he returned to Long Zaitian to keep him safe.
I set up a bamboo strip pillow in that room and wanted to take a nap.
However, I tossed and turned for a long time, but my mind was filled with all the ridiculous things I did with Xiaoman last night. At that time, I felt like my body was on top of clouds, ethereal and lingering. I felt that I had lost all my money, but I still had not finished it.
Everything is warm and soft between the tentacles, and it is full of sweetness when you rub it... It's really like a dream, it's wonderful!
I don’t know how long it took, but Yang Chaoxi was still dreaming. Then he heard the sound of careless footsteps running out of the house: "Master, Master! Leader Long is back! Please go to the main hall to meet me!"
Yang Zhaoxi hurriedly got up and sat cross-legged. The redness on his face had not faded, but he pretended to be calm. He looked at the visitor and said, "Little monkey, you must be calm when meeting people and don't panic when things happen! Didn't Master teach you? Why are you always so calm?"
Can’t remember it in my heart? I will go to see the leader of the Dragon Gang, my master. You, then find a shady place and walk for half an hour."
After hearing this, the little monkey's head immediately drooped, and he reluctantly said: "Oh."
After a while, Yang Zhaoxi walked to the main hall.
But under the wide eaves, on one side stood the alms bowls of Niu Fengnian and others, and on the other side stood several disciples of the Xiaoxiang sect. They knew that Long was in the field, She Ji and others had returned safely.
Climbing the steps and stepping into the hall, I looked up and saw Long Zaitian, She Ji and Hua Ji sitting opposite each other, both frowning and talking about something. Qi Zhangbo sat in front of the tea table, concentrating on cooking.
Tea soup.
Yang Zhaoxi immediately clasped his fists and saluted: "Long Gang Leader, Sister Snake Ji! Is the trip to Yishui Pavilion going smoothly?"
Only then did Long Zaitian stop talking, turned around and asked him to sit down, stroking his beard and said in a deep voice:
"Young friend Yang! Fortunately, the Yishui Pavilion guard recognized the old beggar and sold him some thin noodles. Only then did he have the opportunity to meet a young pavilion master whose pseudonym was 'Zhuque'. Miss She Ji spent eighty taels of silver collars and bought two pairs of them.
With gold threads, sea pearls and tortoise shell hairpin, he explained the doubts in his heart.
The young master of the Zhuque Pavilion got the goods, and he was very generous. He bluntly said that someone offered a reward of two hundred taels of silver for the life of the chief disciple of the Xiaoxiang Clan. The person who came to take over the job was Shi Xiaoren, a temporary assassin of the Xuanwu Hall. This person clearly
My identity is the master of Jingyun Temple. In recent years, I have often come to Yishui Pavilion to pick up errands and earn some money.
As for the other two, they were accomplices found by Shi Xiaoren, not assassins with documented records in the pavilion. Miss She Ji was able to find Monk Huicong because of luck. All because he was beheaded when he fought with Xiong Cang.
The body was injured and the blood was left behind. Only then did Hua Shi follow the blood and find the clues left by the murderer."
Yang Zhaoxi was dumbfounded when she heard this: "Did Sister She Ji spend so much money to get this piece of information? Then why can't Young Master Zhuque do it to the end? Let me tell you more about the whereabouts of Shi Xiaoren, Hui Cong and several of the murderers.
?”
Snake Girl smiled bitterly and said: "Master Zhuque said that selling the assassin's identity information to us was an act of extrajudicial favor. As for the whereabouts of the three people, firstly they don't know, and secondly even if they know, they can't reveal it. After all, Shi Xiaoren is still
If a temporary assassin of Yishui Pavilion encourages outsiders to do harm just for money, wouldn't he be destroying his reputation?"
Long Zaitian also said from the side: "The master of the Zhuque Pavilion sold the identity of the mastermind to us, which is considered the most benevolent thing! Next, we only need to secretly find Shi Xiaoren, capture him and torture him, why worry about not finding the rest?
Where are the two of them?
Before leaving, the young pavilion master Zhuque also gave Miss She Ji a volume of "The Capital List of the Two Capitals", which meant that both money and goods were indebted to each other. The old beggar had not seen this thing for many years, so he unexpectedly opened the volume.
Look, I was shocked at that time! Guess what?"
Yang Chaoxi didn't know, so he said casually: "How? What is this "Top Capital List of Two Capitals"?"
She Ji rolled her eyes at Long Zaitian, and immediately explained to Yang Zhaoxi the purpose of the "Top Capital List of Two Capitals". Then she pinched her brows and said, "Not only is the list of capital listed in Two Capitals
Xiong Cang's reward, including me, Snake Lady, Hua Lady, and several cave masters of Xiaoxiang Sect, are all impressive! The one with the highest reward is my sect master, and it's actually worth a thousand taels of silver!"
Long Zaitian also patted the table and said: "It's not just that? It's so outrageous! The old beggar has been living on his last legs for decades, begging for food, and has never offended his fellow martial artists, but he has been offered a reward of five hundred taels of silver!
Damn it! No matter how despicable this old beggar's life is, it can't be worth only five hundred taels!"
She Ji's mood recovered a little, and she sipped the tea soup and said: "Young Master Yang! You are also 'on the list' of the "Two Capitals of the Capital", and the reward is much higher than that of the leader of the Dragon Gang, it is actually worth one thousand four hundred taels of silver!"
As he said that, he took out a scroll with a black handle and a black stumbling block from Bo's sleeve, handed it to Yang Chaoxi's hand, and said with deep meaning,
"Young hero, you might as well take a look. Maybe there are people you know well on the "Top Capital List of Two Capitals", but you just can't tell whether the errand with the reward has been dispatched. If you still have time, you might as well go
Remind them that they should be careful when going out these days!"
