farce a ups and downs

In Yangzhou City, there are many shops on both sides of the street, and there is an endless stream of pedestrians.

I heard from a friend in my boudoir that there is a new cosmetic shop on West Street called Shishafang. His cosmetics are fragrant but not greasy, and are very popular among women in Yangzhou City. They also have various types of creams, which are surprisingly effective. Fang Yingruo heard She couldn't help it with one ear, but recently a strange person has been following her, and as long as she goes out, she will be followed by that person.

The shadowy gaze just makes one's scalp tingle.

The Fang family is the richest man in Yangzhou. They are generous and have many good relationships. Knowing that someone is eyeing his precious daughter, Master Fang is furious and asks his servants to secretly protect Fang Yingruo.

With little success.

Master Fang issued another billboard, hoping that some heroes of the rivers and lakes would catch the apprentice who was spying on his daughter, but the apprentice was extremely skilled in martial arts, and the people he invited back were no match for him.

In this way, Fang Yingruo had no choice but to stay at home.

After sitting for several days, Fang Yingruo couldn't hold back her curiosity. After washing up, she took her personal maid to the hookah shop.

Before reaching West Street, that uncomfortable gaze appeared again, step by step, as if walking on thorns all over the ground.

Fang Yingruo frowned, and called the maid beside her: "Cui Liu, go and have a look at the back."

Cui Liu took orders and was a little flustered when she came back.

"Miss, it's that person again!"

Seeing Fang Yingruo's complexion, Cui Liu understood, "Miss, why don't we go back, he can't follow back to the mansion." The mansion is under martial law recently, and the surrounding alleys are full of people from the Fang family.

But she didn't want Fang Yingruo to refuse straight away: "No."

Cui Liu showed a troubled expression, Fang Yingruo's eyes lit up, and she waved at her: "I have an idea, come here."

Half a quarter of an hour later, a group of people came to the cloth village, and when they left the cloth village, except for "Green Willow", every maidservant held two bolts of silk in her hands.

Walking to the fork in the road, "Cui Liu" received other orders and left the team.

Gradually, "Cui Liu" walked faster and faster, as if someone was chasing her behind.After turning into an alley, "Green Willow" stroked his chest and panted slightly, and raised a pretty face that was as gorgeous as peaches and plums, which was clearly Fang Yingruo.

The two exchanged clothes in the cloth shop, just to buy Fang Yingruo some free time, so as to escape the sight of the weird man.

It's strange to say that the man didn't do extraneous actions, but just looked at and followed him not too far away, like a little tail that couldn't be shaken off. Fang Yingruo was so annoyed by this surveillance-like behavior that he kept pushing him away. Several tea parties and illustration meetings.

But now, I finally got a moment of freedom.

The smile lines on the corners of her lips hadn't disappeared yet, Fang Yingruo's heart tightened when she saw three or four hooligans approaching in front of her.

The men's obscene laughter and women's begging for mercy were soon heard in the alley. After a while, someone yelled and cursed loudly. Then, Fang Yingruo fled out of the alley in embarrassment.

Fang Yingruo ran wildly along the way she came, and at this moment, she couldn't care less about the dignity and elegance of the ladies. Escape for her life was the most important thing.

Cui Liu and the others appeared not far ahead, Fang Yingruo was overjoyed, but at the same time, the pair of eyes that had been watching her from the dark also moved away from Cui Liu.

The four eyes met, Fang Yingruo shuddered at the deep eyes of the other party, and swallowed back the cry that reached her throat.

The man drew his sword.

The gangster behind him was unconscious before he even had time to call for help.

The man dealt with the ruffian, just now the sassyness of the sword disappeared, and he became uncomfortable. He clenched the hilt of the sword and took a step forward: "Fang, Aunt Fang... girl, you, you didn't..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was rudely interrupted.

"Go away! Don't come here!"

Fang Yingruo's collapsed face was reflected on the cold sword's edge.

"...Oh." The footsteps stopped in response, "I, I won't go, you—"

Fang Yingruo didn't wait for anyone to finish speaking, she gave the local ruffian a hard look, then looked at Cui Liu and the others who were blocked by him, turned around and ran away.

The man was stunned for a while, blinked his eyes, his delicate face was full of grievances, lowered his head, and murmured: "I, I just, like you."

Inside the inn, Luo Wenchu ​​supported the arms of Ren Sheng and Ren Shi, and nodded, "Get up."

The two brothers looked at each other, knowing that Master agreed.

Next, several people exchanged their respective information.

"So the current clue is that the unknown swordsman has two more accomplices and fled to Yangzhou."

Luo Wenchu ​​spread his fan: "It's just in the direction of Yangzhou, not necessarily Yangzhou, maybe it has already left Yangzhou."

"Then why did the master and junior brother come to Yangzhou directly?"

Luo Wenchu ​​glanced at Ren Sheng, "It's just a little selfishness for the teacher."

"selfish?"

Yangzhou is a passionate place, lovers will not want to miss it.

Ren Shi tugged at his brother's sleeve, motioned him to stop talking, and took up the conversation naturally, "Master, there is one thing that is very strange. We were on the way to Qingzhou, and we heard about the Xuyuemen at first glance. What I said to you seems to be different. Too much the same."

"Oh?"

"You said that Chen Xuan was the orphan of the former crown prince. He recruited soldiers and forged weapons privately with the intention of rebelling. The entire Xuyu Sect was cleaned up when he took over as the head of the sect."

"good."

"However, the version circulated in the rivers and lakes did not mention the orphan of the previous prince at all. It only said that he colluded with bandits, secretly assassinated those who were dissatisfied with him when he took over as the head, and then carried out many illegal transactions. Such behavior is not worthy of being a martial artist. upright."

Luo Wenchu ​​and Shen Feiyu were stunned at the same time, and there was no one else. This kind of statement is too similar to when the swordsman poured dirty water on Xiehua Palace.

The nameless swordsman wants to let people in the Jianghu recognize the true colors of these sects through this behavior of exposing evil deeds. The inside of such a huge sect is so dirty. Bleeding sacrifices but more vicious methods to replace these moths.

But he didn't know that the struggle between martial arts decent is far from that simple.

Just mentioning the fact that the Kunlun faction fought for martial arts secrets, the entire Kunlun faction became a victim of the internal struggle.The internal fighting between sects is so fierce, let alone between sects?

Shen Feiyu pondered and said: "The government will not publicize such things as the orphaned prince of the previous dynasty, and there are very few people who are based in the rivers and lakes and courts at the same time. Rather than saying that he is an orphan of the former prince who has nothing to do with the world, it is better to say that he has misbehavior." , so that it can arouse the hatred of the world. The important thing is who is behind the scenes."

In those two days, the two of Luo and Chen were "inundated with miscellaneous affairs", so they couldn't take care of looking for the news, so naturally they couldn't trace the source.

Luo Wenchu ​​tapped the table rhythmically with one hand, the three apprentices did not speak, and waited patiently.

"I set up three ideas for the teacher. First, the unknown swordsman found a companion and secretly collected the handles of the various sects; second, a third-party force joined; third," the tapping stopped, Luo Wenchu ​​said with a sullen face Looking at the dim sky outside the window, "The accomplice of the unknown swordsman is Lu Jiming."

The three were startled.

Ren Sheng asked: "Master, do you mean that the unknown swordsman colluded with the Demon Cult?"

"Not necessarily, Master is just guessing." Shen Feiyu's complexion is not very good, everyone knows what the third possibility represents--the devil's religion is using the nasty things among the martial arts decent, so that they can destroy themselves .

No sect is completely clean, even the Lingjue sect has produced a demon cult spy, Lu Jiming, and Luo Wenchu, who possesses demon skills.The sect tried its best to conceal the former matter, but only a few people knew the latter secret, and it could be big or small, depending on where it would be exposed.

"Let's live, let's die."

"The disciple is here."

"I will inform you Uncle He later and tell you to be in charge of the faction's dark lines. The two of you are solely responsible for the intelligence investigation, especially to check whether there have been conflicts between small and medium sects recently, or have suddenly lost contact with the outside world." Can not be seen in the sect Tianri's affairs are hidden deeper and more hidden, and it is difficult to trace them. Luo Wenchu ​​guessed that the unknown swordsman might start from small and medium sects, "If there is, I will trouble you to go there."

"Yes!"

The two brothers took orders to retreat.

When only Luo Chen and Yihu were left in the room, Shen Feiyu couldn't help asking: "Master, what is that disciple doing?"

"What does Feiyu want to do?" Luo Wenchu ​​stretched out his long arms, pulled him into his arms, and slid down along his black hair.

Shen Feiyu grabbed someone's troublesome hand back, frowning slightly, with a bit of anger in his eyes: "Master, let's talk about business. The disciple is also a member of the sect, no different from the brothers."

The subtext is that there is no need to give preferential treatment because of the special relationship between the two.

Luo Wenchu ​​didn't answer the words, but pressed the man in his arms forcefully, stroked Shen Feiyu's long black hair with both hands, and braided a few braids in a short time, very skillful.

Shen Feiyu rested her chin on Luo Wenchu's shoulders, as if her chests were facing each other, and her heartbeats were at the same frequency, so they could communicate with each other.

Luo Wenchu ​​braided his braids and let them loose, and said after a while, "I asked you just now, what do you want to do, do you have an answer now?"

Shen Feiyu nodded lightly: "Do what you can, and do what you can."

Luo Wenchu ​​let him go: "Don't be brave."

"it is good."

After leaving the inn and standing in the bustling street with people coming and going, Shen Feiyu hesitated a little, not knowing where to go.

It should be known that every city has a "land dragon", not one person, but a group of people who hold information and enjoy the highest rights and interests first: aristocratic families and rich people.

Their power and intelligence network are intertwined. If there is no way out, if you step in with your blood, you will become a prey trapped in a spider's web.If you want the other party to notice yourself, you should also show your own value while releasing friendly signals. After all, it is human nature to seek profit.

At least that's what Shen Feiyu saw in Liuzhou City.

But this is Yangzhou City, and he has no clue except that the richest man in the area is named Fang.

There are some things that Shen Minglang will not restrict him, such as the broken pages of peerless secret books, but some things are not within his reach, such as Shen Zhuang's various businesses, until now he still doesn't know that Shen Zhuang is not only forging swords and asking swords. Apart from selling tickets for the conference, what income can support such a large family.

At this moment, a woman stumbled towards Shen Feiyu and suddenly sprained her foot as she passed in front of Shen Feiyu.Shen Feiyu recovered and caught the woman's body that fell forward.

"Girl, are you okay."

The woman raised her head, with a look of surprise on her face: "Thank you..."

Before the words fell, the woman seemed to see something disgusting, she frowned, and hid behind Shen Feiyu.

Shen Feiyu turned his head sideways and saw a man walking towards him.

The man was tall and slender, with a handsome face, and when he frowned, his eyes were as sharp as a blade.

Seeing that he was holding a sword, Shen Feiyu didn't hesitate, and directly blocked in front of the woman.

"Get out of the way."

The man stuttered a little, but his tone was firm, and he stared at the woman behind Shen Feiyu with his eyes, and anger flashed in his eyes: "Why, what, want, run?"

The woman was Fang Yingruo, and she was so frightened that she clutched Shen Feiyu's sleeves, "My lord, this person has been following me for the past two months, I don't know what his intentions are!"

"...I, I!" The man became emotional and stuttered even more, "I just, just... worried about you..."

"Just worried that you will secretly follow me for so long? Sick!"

Shen Feiyu cast her eyes down, and saw that the woman's clothes were disheveled, and there were red marks on her wrists. When she raised her eyes to look at the swordsman, her eyes turned cold: "Master, should you go by yourself, or should I ask someone from the government to take you away. "

Yangzhou is a rich and good place. People here live a very peaceful life, which means that there is no other joy in life. Suddenly seeing a dispute here, they put down their things and surrounded them.

Someone recognized Fang Yingruo: "Is that the daughter of Fang Fuhao's family?"

"Is this meeting a little hooligan?"

"Ham, how is it possible, Miss Qianjin, who went out with bodyguards, how could she be so disheveled?"

Fang Yingruo originally hid behind Shen Feiyu, and there was still a short distance between the two, but now Fang Yingruo didn't care about etiquette, justice and shame, and just wanted to bury her head behind the strange man's back. Heartstrings.

With a swipe, a coat with body temperature dropped from his shoulders.

Fang Yingruo raised her head upon hearing the sound, and happened to meet Shen Feiyu's gaze: "Put it on."

Fang Yingruo subconsciously listened to the other party's words, and wrapped her clothes tightly around her body.

Shen Feiyu turned back to face the man, with an extremely cold expression: "Everyone, my sister has always been afraid of crowded places, but today she is forced to do so by this person, is there anyone willing to help, twist this person to the government, and set a heavy reward. "

The word "heavy gold" instantly diverted everyone's attention from Fang Yingruo.

Facing the wolf-like crowd around him, the sword-wielding man was stunned for a moment, then immediately filled with shame and indignation, he drew his sword and pointed at Shen Feiyu: "You!"

Shen Feiyu led Fang Yingruo out of the crowd as early as the words fell. The man looked at the two people who were drifting away, his eyes were red with anger, but he obeyed his master's teachings, not to hurt innocent people, so he had no choice but to escape in embarrassment.

Shen Feiyu sent Fang Yingruo back to Fang Mansion.

Along the way, Shen Feiyu learned the ins and outs of the matter, and when he heard that the man had rescued Fang Yingruo, but was turned away by Fang Yingruo, she was a little bit dumbfounded.

Who made the other party take a... path from the very beginning? I can't blame other girls for misunderstanding.
