startled autumn

They cuddled together for a long time before walking towards Mo Yi side by side. Although they didn't hold hands, the distance was extremely close. Shen Zhiqiu's always upright and upright face was even faintly filled with joy, which could be called high spirits .

Han Bi knew that Shen Zhiqiu had a thin skin, and he always treated him in front of outsiders without showing off or avoiding taboos, which was just right.

Shen Zhiqiu brought him into Mo Yi, only to remember to ask him why he came: "Why are you here?"

Han Bi: "Come to see you."

As soon as the words fell, Shen Zhiqiu felt that his feet were light and light, and he couldn't help walking two steps faster.

Han Bi stretched out his hand and pulled him back, and said with a smile, "I'll also meet the sword-wielding real person by the way."

Shen Zhiqiu asked suspiciously: "What are you looking for with Master Master? He has stagnated in the sword state recently and is in retreat. If there is anything important, you can discuss it with Brother Yue."

"If Yue Yin can make the decision, it's okay." Han Bi said, "What I want to talk about is about Zhao Mingchuan."

Hearing this, Shen Zhiqiu opened his eyes slightly, and said seriously, "Come with me."

Yue Yin patrolled Mo Yi and managed the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the entire school. When Bi arrived in the study, he didn't expect this for a moment. Not only did he not find Yue Yin, but he was hit on the forehead by a peanut shell as soon as he opened the door.

Shen Zhiqiu covered the red mark on his forehead, frowned and said, "Brother, why are you here?"

Xiao Shaoling originally wanted to plot against Yue Yin, but he threw this peanut shell very hard, but he didn't expect to accidentally hit his precious junior brother, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Han Bi standing behind Shen Zhiqiu, and quickly shook the pot and said: "I I just want to find a quiet place to practice the hidden weapon method, and it's all Han Bi's fault, if he had walked ahead, I wouldn't have hit you."

Han Bi ignored him, and asked Shen Zhiqiu, "Does it hurt?"

Shen Zhiqiu shook his head first, then gave Xiao Shaoling an approving look: "Brother is really hardworking."

Xiao Shaoling said shamelessly: "When I learn it, I will teach you right away."

Han Bi looked at the two of them, but also had nothing to say.

After Xiao Shaoling learned that their trip was to discuss matters related to Zhao Mingchuan, his expression gradually became serious, and he said, "I'll call Yue Yin over."

Shen Zhiqiu nodded, and covered Han Bi's ears with his hands.

The next moment Xiao Shaoling pushed open the door, his dantian sank, and he shouted loudly: "Yue Yin!"

The shout resounded through Mo Yi, scaring away a forest of tits.

After a while, a familiar figure trotted in. It was Yue Yin. He frowned and said, "Brother, what are you doing? Master is taking a nap. If you wake him up, you have to shut him down again." Confinement-"

Xiao Shaoling asked: "Isn't the head master in retreat?"

Yue Yin waved his hand and said, "Secret retreat does not conflict with afternoon nap, when he wakes up, he will naturally leave the retreat."

Shen Zhiqiu: "At that time, I will definitely have a discussion with the master uncle."

Seeing that the three senior brothers talked more and more off topic, Han Bi rapped on the table with his fingers, and said, "Let's get down to business."

Yue Yin asked kindly: "Mr. Han came here this time, could it be that he finally got news about Zhao Mingchuan?"

Zhao Mingchuan is the younger brother of Daoist Sword Master, and the senior uncle of the three of them in terms of seniority. He went on a trip five years ago, but he disappeared overnight. People murder, more bad luck than good luck.

Daoist Yijian traveled around with his wife and often inquired about Zhao Mingchuan, but unfortunately he found nothing so far.

"There are indeed signs of this matter, but you don't have to be too happy too early." Han Bi said, "He probably fell into the hands of Lu Zheliu."

Yue Yin smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Han doesn't know something. For the past five years, we all thought that the little uncle was dead. Now that we hear that he might still be alive, that's good news."

Han Bi frowned and said, "He has only been missing for five years, why do you think he is no longer alive?"

Shen Zhiqiu replied in a low voice: "Most swordsmen have their swords in their hands, and they lose their swords and die. If he is safe and sound, he will never let the Xuwei sword fall into the hands of others."

The Xuwei Sword is Zhao Mingchuan's saber, which takes the meaning of only the emptiness but the subtlety, the best and the best, the sword is like a man, and it has the style of a gentleman.

During the five years of his disappearance, although there was no news of anyone, his sword made a sound early on.

When the Xuwei sword was found, it was hanging on the most conspicuous place on the wall of a pawnshop for display. The owner didn't know the origin of the sword owner, but only said that it was a teenager who was about ten years old, and he hadn't seen it since then. appeared.

"If you want to say that there are thugs who murdered and seized the sword, let alone the fact that the young master's swordsmanship is so strong that he won't be able to defeat a young man, and moreover, Xu Wei only pawned five taels of silver. "Yue Yin sighed, "If the little uncle is still alive, why not contact us and let the saber wander outside, I think he must have been killed."

Hearing this, Han Bi whispered, "... Ning Banque didn't lie."

Shen Zhiqiu's ear twitched, and asked, "Ning Banque? What does this have to do with him?"

The faces of Yue Yin and Xiao Shaoling were also suspicious.

"I learned the news about Zhao Mingchuan from him." Han Bi inevitably had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but he tried his best to sort out a conclusive thread. "He said that it was Zhao Mingchuan who asked him to send the Xuwei Sword To pawn."

When calling for help, you should not be too public, otherwise you will only startle the snake; and you should not be so concealed that nothing will come to pass.

Ning Banque was still a young boy at the time, under the control of Lu Zheliu, and didn't know how to contact Mo Yi's people, so he had to find ways to bring Xuwei sword out of the Kuting Pavilion, and then sent the sword to the pawn shop. He left a message to the boss, asking him to give it to the person who came to redeem the sword, and told him to keep it secret.

A gentleman always buries smoke and sinks into the valley.

Junzijian is Zhao Mingchuan's nickname, and Yanshengu is the place where Lu Zheliu has lived in seclusion for the past ten years.

The boss knew it was a famous sword at a glance, and saw that Ning Banque only wanted five taels of silver, and the business was sure to make a profit without losing money, so he agreed to the talk.

Unexpectedly, a year later, Xu Weijian was redeemed, but Zhao Mingchuan still couldn't wait for Mo Yi's person.

Yue Yin slapped his head remorsefully, and sighed: "The original owner of the pawn shop died of a sudden illness in winter. When we found Xu Weijian, the owner was replaced by his son. Because of this, the owner can't tell who the pawnbroker is. Who it is, I can only roughly remember that it is a young man, but his father is dead, and there is no way to find out the specific situation, so we can only let it go."

This plan was done without anyone noticing, even if Lu Zheliu found out, he would not have thought that Xu Weijian was not transported back to the capital, but was pawned out in the middle of a change of hands. Before, he even forgot to explain to his son the promise he had made, and then he even made a mistake, and all his thoughts were wasted.

"It's a pity for Zhao Mingchuan that Ning Banque couldn't wait for the reinforcements," Han Bi said.

In fact, what Ning Banque said was even more exaggerated than this at the time. After all, he had blood and deep hatred and his personality was extremely extreme. Dang even said bluntly: "They Mo Yi seems to get along well on weekdays, and the disciples are all bright and happy. However, my brother was in trouble and was in danger, but no one dared to come to rescue him, I don't think Zhao Mingchuan would want this kind of teacher."

Han Bi asked him, "Why did you save Zhao Mingchuan?"

Ning Banque didn't answer directly, but said vaguely: "People like Zhao Mingchuan shouldn't live in darkness."

Yue Yin suddenly said: "Could it be because of this that my junior uncle will teach everyone in Kuting to live a life of misty rain?"

Xiao Shaoling patted the back of his head forcefully, and said angrily: "Nonsense talk! The little uncle is an upright person, and he will never betray his master just because of a momentary mood."

Shen Zhiqiu also looked at Yue Yin disapprovingly: "What brother said is absolutely true."

Yue Yin took a few deep breaths in pain, and quickly explained, grinning his teeth: "You guys misunderstood me, I didn't mean that the little master would sell out his master's knowledge because he hated us, but that he had nowhere to turn for help in a desperate situation. , At that time, his life may be lost, how can he hide the martial arts moves on his body?"

"This is the second thing I want to tell you." Han Bi said.

The three brothers and sisters rolled their eyes, and all looked at him intently, without blinking.

Han Bi cleared his throat and said, "I came this time and brought someone with me for you to meet. If Han Banbu was quicker, he should have arrived by now."

Shen Zhiqiu asked curiously, "Who?"

Han Bi smiled and said, "You should know him."

It was too late and then soon, a disciple of Mo Yi knocked on the door and reported that someone was looking for Mr. Han, Yue Yin heard the words and quickly asked him to take him into the study.

After a long while, someone walked in. He was not tall, wearing a veiled hat, his face was tightly covered, he looked around before taking off the cover lightly, his eyes were straight Staring at Han Bi, he bowed cautiously, "Young Master Han."

"..." Xiao Shaoling squinted his eyes to look at him, and the shadow of confinement came one after another in an instant, "Ren Songnian, you are still alive?!"

Shen Zhiqiu thought about it carefully, but still had no impression of this person's appearance, so he could only look at Xiao Shaoling suspiciously.

Xiao Shaoling: "Junior brother, have you forgotten, he is from Chipei, he was framed by Lu Zheliu that day, and he ran to our Mo Yi for help, and as a result, my sword was confiscated..."

Shen Zhiqiu suddenly realized.

Ren Songnian, who was at the center of the topic, blushed when he heard the words, and said in shame: "It's because I don't know people well, and I was impulsive and wrong, which made Senior Xiao feel wronged and wronged."

Xiao Shaoling said earnestly: "I only hope that you will reform yourselves and don't force me to be locked up again."

Ren Songnian repeatedly agreed.

"Since you dare to go back to the capital, you must have found something." Seeing that the topic was going to be diverted again, Han Bi had no choice but to raise something.

Ren Songnian said: "I was able to escape Chipei people's capture thanks to Mr. Han's help that day. I will never forget the kindness of saving my life."

When Lu Zheliu was still in Chipei, he used Ren Songnian, who came to Moyi for help, as a cover to frame Xiao Shaoling for stealing Chipei's unique learning, and then Su Jingyan came to Moyi to arrest the traitor, but finally found nothing.Afterwards, Yue Yin sent Ren Songnian to a farmhouse outside the city, gave him money and dry food, and let him run as far as he could.

Even so, Ren Songnian's ability is limited, and there are chasing soldiers behind him, so his emotions will inevitably collapse. When he was about to give up, Han Banbu fell from the sky and let him hide in the caravan entering the city. Chi Pei didn't dare to investigate the caravan.

After all, Ren Songnian is just a small person, and then Chi Pei and Mo Yi reached a consensus on reconciliation, no one has time to care about the life and death of a small person, even Lu Zheliu ignored him After that, no one thought that he could cause any storms.

Han Bi asked him: "Now that everything has settled down, do you want to go back to your hometown, or do you have other plans?"

When Ren Songchu first saw Mr. Han, who is well-known in Beijing, he was both surprised and grateful, so he could only reply cautiously: "I know Mr. Han has never done business at a loss. I have been tossing and turning these days. Regarding the matter of Lu Zheliu, I have finally settled down." Got some ideas."

Han Bi saved him only because he was afraid of Lu Zheliu, so he did it casually, thinking to leave a handle that he didn't know when he would be able to use it, but he didn't expect that this handle was not so stupid, after learning from the pain Just got the hang of it.

"Let's talk." Han Bi showed him a rare smile.

"I was born in the Ren family in Huainan. Although I am not a well-known school, I am very good at acupuncture. Even though Lu Zheliu taught the "Guan Shen Needle" that day, even though it was whitewashed, the core method seems to be familiar. No matter how you look at it, it is similar to our Ren family. Can't get rid of the relationship." Standing in the study, Ren Songnian repeated what he said to Han Bi that day, "Guan Shenzhen is never rumored, and Lu Zheliu is not from my Ren family, how can I learn it secretly?"

Hearing this, Shen Zhiqiu felt that the situation of the Ren family was very similar to their Mo Yi's. Firstly, the best knowledge in the school was leaked out for no reason, and then Lu Zheliu exhausted the math. There are probably similar entanglements.

"Until I remembered that a few years ago, an inner disciple of the Ren family disappeared for no reason during his travels. I guessed that maybe he betrayed the family and took refuge in Lu Zheliu. As long as I can find out his whereabouts, I can prove Lu Zheliu's whereabouts. Zhe Liu is indeed a thief."

There was a thump in Shen Zhiqiu's heart.

"Lu Zheliu's hermitage is in the valley of mist, and it has always been heavily guarded. I wandered outside for a long time, but I didn't think of a way to sneak in, so I decided to go to the dragon's pool and tiger's lair at night, but before I stepped into the valley of mist One step, and I was accidentally discovered." Ren Songnian sighed heavily, "I ran away in a hurry, and the man who chased and killed me was a man in black with extremely high martial arts skills. The strange thing is that he could kill me clearly, but He has been fighting me back and forth like a cat playing with a mouse, using no less than three martial arts methods...including Mo Yi's Misty Rain Life."

Although Ren Songnian's martial arts are average, he can't even admit his mistakes to Yan Yu, who is famous all over the world. This made him very puzzled: Mo Yi has always been a strong man, why should he seek refuge with Lu Zheliu?

Yue Yin pondered and said: "Yanyu has been out of the country for a long time. Although the reason is unknown, it does not mean that someone from Mo Yi has become Lu Zheliu's lackey."

"Listen to me, that man fought me, but he never took my life, but let me go." Ren Songnian said.

Shen Zhiqiu frowned and said, "Why?"

"I don't know the reason. It's just that the people in Yan Chengu know so many martial arts, it means that Lu Zheliu must have stolen the head of a hundred schools of thought. In this case, why don't I gather the strength of a hundred schools of thought to seek justice? " Ren Songnian was silent for a while, and then he continued, "The man in black revealed several martial arts methods during the fight with me. As long as I can recognize them, I have investigated them as much as possible with Mr. Han's resources. After a while, until now, I discovered that the Ren family, Mo Yi, and some other sects all had records of disciples disappearing during their travels."

In the rivers and lakes, there are swords and swords all the year round, and there is always love and hatred. It is not surprising that life and death are the bets in competitions. There are countless knights who died on the way of travel, and no one would think that there is a conspiracy behind it.Not only that, there is a saying: Jianghu is a matter of Jianghu, so few people will report to the government, so that for several years, the news of these missing knights has disappeared, even if family and friends send messages to search, they are all lost in the end. return.

Ren Songnian concluded: "Lu Zheliu's elders should all have learned from them."

Everyone was still digesting this conclusion, and Han Bi, who was leisurely watching on the sidelines, suddenly said, "The man in black who let you go should be Ning Banque."

Shen Zhiqiu had a mediocre view of Ning Banque, and asked, "How do you know it's him?"

Han Bi replied unhurriedly: "Aside from him, who else in the misty valley would be loyal to Lu Zheliu on the surface, but would like to make things difficult for him every day in his heart? What's more, this kind of thorough method is circuitous and awkward. It should be his idea." for."

Shen Zhiqiu remembered that in Yancheng that day, Ning Banque secretly dropped the poison to save his life, but he kept silent from then on. This kind of awkward behavior really resembled his actions.

Ren Songnian didn't know who Ning Banque was, so he didn't dare to talk to him without authorization, but stepped aside. Seeing him flinching, Yue Yin stretched out his hand and pushed him onto the chair, and poured him a cup of tea as a welcome.Ren Songnian nodded cautiously, and quickly took a sip of tea to relieve the embarrassment, but he didn't expect that the tea was surprisingly spicy, so he was told to cover his mouth and cough on the spot.

Yue Yin sniffed the teapot, and said in a deep voice, "Who added peppercorns to it?"

When he asked this question, his eyes were fixed on Xiao Shaoling.

As the instigator, Xiao Shaoling, who was being stared at, blamed it calmly and said: "I think only Mr. Han is an outsider here."

Han Bi was about to speak, but Shen Zhiqiu preempted him: "Senior brother is wrong."

"What's wrong?" Xiao Shaoling was very displeased to be refuted by his junior brother.

"He's not an outsider." Shen Zhiqiu said seriously.

Xiao Shaoling: "..."

Han Bi said with a smile, "Brother, let's drink some tea."

Yue Yin said in a cool tone, "You have to walk the road of life by yourself."

Under Shen Zhiqiu's scorching gaze, Xiao Shaoling drank a cup of pepper tea tragically, then rushed out the door without looking back, calling "so spicy" repeatedly, and everywhere he went, people turned their backs.

Seeing the intimate relationship between Han Bi and Shen Zhiqiu, Ren Songnian was startled, but he didn't dare to say a word, watching his nose, nose and heart, he thought he had seen a ghost.
