"Huh." Seeing that Yi Fan was subdued, the old woman's face also improved a lot. She snorted coldly and said: "The Zuo envoy is serious. He is just working for the mountain gate. It's just that I have been in Dongdu for so many years. I really haven't found out. Any sign of being related to Xiaoyaomen’s brat. But I don’t know where Zuo Shi got the information.”
They started talking about serious things. Yi Fan's expression became much more serious. But inadvertently, a smile still slipped across the corner of his mouth. He heard Yi Fan say in a deep voice: "I was ordered by the sect master before. Traveling around the world to patrol. This is also my duty as the left envoy of Shanmen. Four years ago, I served in the army of Wang Shichong of Jiangdu. However, I accidentally discovered that Wang Shichong's younger brother Wang Shiwei actually possesses the martial arts of Xiaoyao Sect. .”
At first, the old woman didn't pay much attention. But when Yi Fan said this, the old woman was immediately startled. This Wang Shichong was no ordinary person. He held in his hands one of the most powerful Jianghuai soldiers in the world. He was even more powerful. His younger brother, a high-ranking official in the border region, actually has the martial arts of the Xiaoyao Sect. Doesn't that mean that Wang Shichong is likely to have a close relationship with the Xiaoyao Sect. Thinking of this, the old woman couldn't sit still. She stood up with a cry and lowered her voice. He shouted: "This is impossible. Wang Shichong came to Luoyang at the beginning of this year. I went to check it out. I didn't find any trace of Xiaoyao Sect on him."
"Have the elders ever checked on his son Wang Xuanying?" Yi Fan suddenly interjected, which made the old woman speechless. Seeing the old woman's appearance, Yi Fan knew that the old woman had not checked on Wang Xuanying. Then Yi Fan knew that the old woman had not checked on Wang Xuanying. Fan continued: "I lurked under Wang Shichong for seven months. I found that not only Wang Shiwei, but also many generals under Wang Shichong, including Wang Shichong's son Wang Xuanying, also knew some Xiaoyao sect martial arts. But what they learned was all It's just superficial. It's not as profound as Wang Shiwei. The elders also know that this Xiaoyao Sect's martial arts is very weird. If people who practice Xiaoyao Sect's martial arts don't take the initiative to show it, others can't know it at all. Only those who practice our Tianyin Sect's martial arts can know it. Only a few people can barely detect it. Therefore, when I saw Wang Shichong, there was a figure of Xiaoyaomen next to me. That's why I noticed this army in the imperial court. In the past few years, I have successively served in various major local armies. The purpose is I want to see if there are any thieves from the Xiaoyao Sect hiding there. Fortunately, no one from the Xiaoyao Sect has discovered it yet among other troops."
Yi Fan's words at the beginning also made the old woman very nervous. After hearing Yi Fan's last words, the old woman breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, she slowly sat upright. She nodded towards Yi Fan and said, "That's okay. If people from the Xiaoyao Sect are allowed to infiltrate various local armies and take over the military power, the situation will become very critical. Now only Wang Shichong has Xiaoyao Sect around him. It would be easier to deal with it. Wang Shichong's power happens to be in Jiangdong. There is also This is where the power of the Shanmen lies. As long as you report it to the sect master, those brats from the Xiaoyao Sect can be killed without a burial place."
"No." Regarding the old woman's statement, Yi Fan shook his head and waved his hands, rejecting it directly. This made the grumpy old woman almost fall out again. Seeing the old woman's temper, Yi Fan was also a little helpless. I really couldn't understand. The old woman was like this. Temper. How could he have been lurking in Dongdu for so many years? He suppressed these distracting thoughts in his heart. Yi Fan continued to explain: "Xiaoyaomen has been in hiding for more than sixty years. Now he has returned to the world. He will never be unprepared. If we Tianyin If we attack the door rashly, it will only alert the snake and make Xiaoyaomen hide deeper. At that time, it will be more difficult for us to catch the traces of Xiaoyaomen. As I said before, traces of Xiaoyaomen have been found in the East. It's not a targetless target. Previously, when Yang Yichen was ordered by the emperor to conquer Hebei, I had discovered a master of Xiaoyao Sect beside Yang Yichen. I secretly tested him and found that the Xiaoyao Sect's martial arts in this person was even more advanced than Wang Shiwei's. It's a pity. .Yang Yichen was later recalled to Dongdu by the emperor. I was unable to continue to investigate clearly. Therefore, the main purpose of coming to Dongdu this time is to find out the matter."
"Yang Yichen. But the Yang Yichen who is currently imprisoned in the Tianlao." The old woman couldn't bear to be angry at this moment. She couldn't help but exclaimed. No wonder she was so rude. Yang Yichen has been in Dongdu these years. If Yang Yichen is by his side There really were people from Xiaoyao Sect, but she didn't find out about it. That was really a dereliction of duty.
"That's right. This person should be Yang Yichen's bodyguard. However, this person usually doesn't take action. If I hadn't bumped into him accidentally, I'm afraid I wouldn't have discovered this person's identity." Seeing the old woman's appearance, Yi Fan immediately understood. I pointed out the reason for the old woman's loss of composure, just to prevent the old woman from blaming herself. Then Yi Fan said: "Originally, when Yang Yichen was called back to the Eastern Capital, I should have followed him. It's just that I didn't do it before leaving. .But I discovered something else. That’s why it’s been delayed until now.”
Now the old woman no longer dared to underestimate the young Shanmen Zuo envoy in front of her. She was also very concerned about another thing Yi Fan said. She was busy keeping a close eye on Yi Fan. Yi Fan didn't show off and just said it. He said: "I discovered that there is a person in this court who has secretly exerted considerable power. This person is Wan He, who has just ascended to the position of Duke. This person is not only a prominent official now, but also has a large network in Hebei. I am observing in secret. This army is no less powerful than Wang Shichong's Jianghuai soldiers. Moreover, the previous righteous rescue of Xiao Yu and Yang Zichong won him a great reputation. .It seems to me that this person’s plans are not small.”
"What Zuo Shi means. This person is also a thief of Xiaoyao Sect." The old woman couldn't bear it anymore. She clenched her dry hands into fists and made a crackling sound. She stood up and lurked in Dongdu. But it was a dereliction of duty. The old woman wanted to atone for her sins. She immediately shouted: "Then I will go and capture this person immediately and interrogate him strictly."
Seeing that the other party was so impulsive, Yi Fan couldn't help but smile bitterly. He quickly stopped the old woman and explained: "Elder Jiao, don't be anxious. Please listen to me and explain clearly. I am not saying that this person is related to Xiaoyaomen. On the contrary, I think. This person is very likely to help us. I was in Hebei before. I found that this person has gathered many masters. There are descendants of the grandson of Shen Gong and disciples of Master Hongfa. I just visited Liang Guogong's mansion and found Zi The descendants of Yunguan and the disciples of the Chihuo Taoist who was famous more than ten years ago. Not to mention, sixty years ago, the Sun family of Shen Gong and Master Hongfa were all fighting against the Xiaoyao sect with our Tianyin sect. Allies. It is impossible for their disciples to associate with Xiaoyao Sect. As for Ziyun Temple, it is now the leader of the righteous path in the world. Although Chihuo Taoist is both good and evil, he acts openly and aboveboard. It is impossible for the disciples of these two parties to associate with each other. The insidious villains like Xiaoyaomen are colluding with each other. Therefore, I can conclude that Wan He has nothing to do with Xiaoyaomen."
After hearing that Wan He had nothing to do with Xiaoyao Sect, the old woman had no choice but to sit down again and asked: "Since Wan He has nothing to do with Xiaoyao Sect, then why did Zuo Shi mention this person? Even if this person really has some big agenda, then... It has nothing to do with our Tianyin Sect. Why bother with such common people?"
"No, Elder Jiao. That's wrong." Yi Fan still shook his head firmly and said, "A few years ago, I wouldn't have cared about such mundane things. But it's different now. Xiaoyaomen He has returned to the world and has set up a shocking situation. At this point, our Tianyin Sect is already one step behind. If we want to contain Xiaoyao Sect in the future, we must do the same as Xiaoyao Sect. With the help of the power of these government and military forces, Wanhe is just right. This is in line with this. Moreover, Wan He is surrounded by Taoist figures such as Ziyun Temple and Chihuo. We can use Wan He's relationship to unite with Ziyun Temple and other righteous Taoists to follow the example of sixty years ago. Defeat Xiaoyaomen."
Elder Jiao finally understood Yi Fan's explanation. After thinking about it in his mind, what Yi Fan said was quite reasonable. He nodded, and then said with doubt on his face: "Zuo Shi has a plan. .Then there must be some arrangements for finding me this time. I don’t know what help I can do to Zuo Shi.”
Seeing that the old man in the mountain gate was finally willing to help, Yi Fan couldn't help but feel relieved. He hurriedly said: "I'll come to see the elder this time. Of course, I have something very important to ask the elder for help. I'm going down today. When we were at Duke Liang's mansion, we didn't expect that there would be experts around Wan He. He might have noticed something. Ziyun Temple and Taoist Chihuo didn't know the origin of our Tianyin Sect, so Wan He was already suspicious of me. I have decent people under surveillance. Now is not the time to reveal my identity to Wan He, so I have to deal with Wan He during this period. During this period, I hope that Elder Jiao can find out the person who was beside Yang Yichen before. Regarding the security situation, let’s see if we can find out the Xiaoyao Sect’s influence in the Eastern Capital. But please remember, Elder Jiao, that you must not alert the enemy.”
After saying that, Yi Fan also sighed secretly. If it weren't for the many inconveniences, he wouldn't have left this matter to the impatient elder Jiao in front of him. Maybe, she would have messed up the matter. .It's just that this is really not the best time to confront Wan He. Now the only one Yi Fan can rely on is the old man in front of him. At this time, Yi Fan suddenly remembered those gangsters who were monitoring him earlier. It seemed. Wan He also arranged a lot of chess pieces in Luoyang City. Unfortunately, these people are ordinary gangsters. In Yi Fan's opinion, they are of little use in detecting those high-ranking masters in the world.
After hearing Yi Fan's words, the old woman, who had long been determined to atone for her sins, immediately patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Zuo. I'll just leave this matter to you. I promise to find out the whereabouts of those Xiaoyaomen bastards. "
