cloudless sky

Feng Pingping looked at Ye Weiliao's silence, Ye Weiliao felt a little guilty, and smiled apologetically, "Don't worry, I will never leave you this time, we will advance together and retreat together."

"In the end, is it because of Mr. Chongtang?" Feng Pingping asked.

"Not really, no, yes, and no," Ye Weiliao felt hesitant, and changed his words: "Zhong Weita, I always feel that I am somewhat similar. When I was young, I was in a similar situation. Maybe what I thought It's like, thinking about it, I'm afraid that he will do something. He has become Shi Youyou today, and Mr. Chongtang, and we can't completely break away from it. Anyway, it's still early, and the date agreed with Elder Xiaoyu and the others I haven't arrived yet, I have nothing to do, so I stopped by to take a look."

"You are troublesome." Feng Pingping said.

"Huh? Taught me again, so I won't take you with me. You wait here for me and I'll go back." Ye Weiliao said.Feng Pingping reached out and grabbed the rein of his side of the horse, leading the two horses forward, while saying: "Don't think about it."

Ye Weiliao followed up with a smile, joked with him a few more nonsense, and stopped being in a trance.

There is no need to run for your life and no one is chasing you, you just pick the nearest road and rush to the foot of the mountain where Zhong's mansion is located, tie the horse to the forest, and walk up the stairs.

At the end of the mountain road, the eaves of the courtyard wall can already be seen, it sounds quiet, there are a few chirping birds, and there is a dog barking in the distance, it doesn't seem like the sound of a banquet at all.Both of them felt it was weird, they walked carefully, turned a corner and could already see the lintel of Zhong's house.The color of the two heavy wooden doors can no longer be discerned, and the plaque of "Heirloom of Virtue" is still hanging under the eaves. It has dried a little, and I always feel that it is smaller than when I was a child, the door is also narrow, and the wall is also short.

During the day, the two doors were closed tightly, there was no one in the front or back, and the mountain breeze passed by gently. Ye Weiliao always felt that he was here again in a dream. He wanted to escape inexplicably, but his legs were heavy and he couldn't move. .

Feng Pingping bumped into him lightly, Ye Weiliao was still a little dazed, and asked, "Huh?"

"You smell it... Forget it, you must have not smelled it yet," Feng Pingping sniffed, frowned and said, "It smells the same as Changle Mansion, Mandala."

Ye Weiliao woke up suddenly, before he could react, he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps at the corner of the wall, Feng Pingping heard the sound earlier, pulled him to the side of the road, and lay down in the grass together.As soon as he hid his body, he saw a group of five or six people hurrying around the wall, running all the way and looking around. These people have different shapes and different clothes, and they don't seem to be from the Zhong family just by their appearance.Some of them passed along the stone path beside the wall, some passed through the wall, and some passed through the trees, almost reaching the place where the two were hiding.

Feng Pingping picked up a stone, listened to the sound to identify its position, pointed at a tree and threw it out.

Three or two birds were startled flying from the tree, flapping their wings and flying up, the whole group looked up, Feng Pingping wrapped Ye Weiliao and turned around and hid behind a big tree.

The man ran past the tree, and the two looked at each other behind the tree, neither of them could figure out what was going on.When the group of people had gone far away and continued to search along the courtyard wall, the corners of Feng Pingping's mouth suddenly twitched, and his eyes also looked at the long grass on the road.Ye Weiliao tilted his head, but he didn't see any movement, presumably Feng Pingping smelled something different again with his unusual nose.

So he supported the tree and stood up first, winked at Feng Pingping, and said in a low voice: "This place is a bit weird, it's not suitable to stay for a long time, let's go." "Oh." Feng Pingping stood up in response, and was about to jump back to the mountain road On the stone steps, Ye Weiliao gave him a hand, his figure turned around out of thin air, and rushed straight to the clump of long grass below.

A piece of grass was cut open with a knife, and a figure rolled out of the grass on the spot.

Feng Pingping was about to give chase when Ye Weiliao jumped up to him, pressed the knife in his hand, and asked, "Leading the wind?" He had a mottled face, and he didn't dare to recognize it again.

Ye Weiliao nodded hurriedly, and said in a low voice, "It's me, with something stuck on my face." "Brother Ye!" the man shouted reassuringly.

It was Liu Qianfeng, one of the twin brothers in the Hou Mansion. Su Shuichao sent his two brothers to investigate Zhongkun Zhongpeng's whereabouts, but unexpectedly followed him all the way here.

Feng Pingping led the way to find a hidden place in the forest. Ye Weiliao brought Liu Qianfeng over to sit down and talk, and briefly asked Su Steward and others about the situation. The two brothers, Liu Xieyu and Liu Xieyu, never entered the building. They found Guan Chengmao, who was so small and inconspicuous that he could slip in and out. People follow all the way in case there is a change.

The two brothers Qian Feng and Xie Yu followed Zhong's family out of Huizhou from afar, and most of them were seriously injured, walking slowly on the road and delayed for several days.Leading the Wind and Resting the Rain was going to turn around and meet Steward Su, but found that Zhong Kun and Zhongpeng had hooked up with a member of the Sanshimen halfway, so he followed up and explored again, and when they arrived at Xuanning, the member of the Sanshimen became his Zhong family again His son Zhongwei.

The two of them only felt that there was something strange in it, so they finally stared down along the way until they arrived at Zhong's house.

"Where's Xie Yu? Watch elsewhere?" Ye Weiliao asked.

"I asked him to report the letter, to report to the old grandson, something serious happened." Liu Qianfeng looked serious, and said: "Originally, their family had a happy feast and wine, and they also said that they had welcomed the three corpses back. We don't want to see them proud, and we can't find out more information, so we plan to go back and report to Steward Su. Just as we were about to evacuate, someone suddenly collapsed."

"Falled? People from the Zhong family?"

"Well," Liu Qianfeng also looked puzzled, and said: "First, a few women and children fell under the stove, and then some weaker men fell off the seats at the banquet. Xun, slowly every table has people falling down, one after another, one after another, this time there are always more than a hundred people at the banquet, except for the main table, almost no one can sit, let alone stand. get up."

"Where's Zhongwei?" Ye Weiliao asked hastily, turning his head to look at the mansion.

"He was at the main table, and he was tilted with everyone. At first, we thought it was a certain game dish that was poisonous, but looking at the people who fell down, it didn't look like they had eaten their stomachs, and there was no pain on their faces. , Dole is dazed as if drunk, but it is not possible for everyone to be in this lightly drunk state and get drunk together." Liu Qianfeng said.

Ye Weiliao and Feng Pingping glanced at each other. Naturally, the mandala from Changle Mansion was put in the drinks and meals, and there was no other person who gave the medicine except Zhongwei. His behavior must be because he was afraid that the medicine's effects would be different. , to wait for everyone to fall down.

"What's going on now?" Ye Weiliao asked.

"We originally hid on the screen wall and thought about helping them when they had an accident, but we are from the Hou Mansion after all, so it's really inappropriate to just break into Zhong's house like this. After hesitating for a while, a few passers-by followed Entering Zhong's house through the walls of the courtyard gates, everyone knows kung fu. I haven't seen it before. They are not people from the rivers and lakes in Weinan and Weibei. Seeing that the matter is urgent, we can't handle it with just the two of us, so we tried to rush everyone from all walks of life to meet in the courtyard. Before, I came down from the screen wall and quietly backed out. Xie Yu went to report the news, and I stayed outside just in case. After a while, two groups of people came out to inspect. They walked across and walked around such a large house several times. It's gone." Liu Qianfeng said.

"I didn't hear anything? Screaming?" Ye Weiliao asked cautiously, Liu Qianfeng shook his head, and said, "I couldn't get closer to the courtyard wall, and it didn't sound real. I really don't know what's going on inside. Already, Brother Ye, what should we do?"

Ye Weiliao raised his head and said to Feng Pingping: "Although it is about his Zhong family, there are many old and young women and children in it. Even if the Zhong family chased us down, those women and children without names and surnames can't be counted among them." .”

"En." Feng Pingping said.

Ye Weiliao got his approval, smiled, and then asked: "Mandala has no antidote, is there a way to fight poison with poison, just like you did with Yuyu before, and put some poisonous smoke to wake them up? "Choke it, just wake up for a moment, and then you may get dizzy." Feng Pingping thought for a while, and said: "We still have to pour water, so many people have to be relieved of the medicine, unless there is a heavy rain."

All three looked up at the sky, looking up through the dense branches and leaves, the sky was blue, not to mention rain, not even a cloud.

"There's no other way, it's not that we don't want to help each other, it's his Zhong family who caused trouble." Liu Qianfeng said.

"It's better to smoke," Ye Weiliao said, "On the sixth day of the lunar new year, you lead us to find the grass branches and leaves that burn the most, even if they are a little poisonous, you don't have to be afraid of them, and you will get the wind when we gather together Look at the direction of the wind and light it. These people have been planning for a long time, and they are ruthless, and there may be people guarding the upwind place, so be careful, it is better to slow down than not to light the fire, and don’t let them find you.”

"Okay," Liu Qianfeng agreed, and asked again: "Brother Ye, how about you?"

Ye Weiliao turned his head to look at Feng Pingping, Feng Pingping simply said for him: "Let's go and have a look."

Although Liu Qianfeng was very worried and didn't want them to take risks, and asked them to wait for Sun Sibi to lead people over before trying to figure out a solution, he naturally couldn't control the two of them. In the forest, they hurriedly picked up a pile of grass and trees and handed them to Liu Qianfeng to hold them. They told each other to be careful, and they went separately.

The people who were waiting for the inspection turned around twice, and the two of them unfolded their lightness kung fu, flew up to the courtyard wall, turned lightly, and landed silently in the Zhong family's mansion.

The place where the two came in was a small courtyard at the back, leaving the main courtyard where the banquet was held in the front, there were still many courtyard walls. Ye Weiliao led the way, Feng Pingping followed closely to transfer ownership over the wall, but they didn't meet anyone. All gathered at the celebration banquet.Walking through four or five courtyards and slowly approaching the main hall, I heard some voices faintly.

Feng Pingping patted Ye Weiliao on the shoulder lightly, and he followed to stop, Feng Pingping stepped forward to stand in front of him, raised his machete lightly, pierced it through the gap in the front courtyard door, a trail of blood slowly fell along the door gap, Feng Pingping bent over The knife was sent down slowly, leading the man behind the door to sit down slowly against the door, dying silently.Feng Pingping put away the saber, and Ye Weiliao looked through the crack of the door. The courtyard door was facing the back door of the main hall, and there was a guard at the back door, but his back was facing this side. There was a man on each side of the main hall. At the same time, they guarded outsiders from entering. These people were more like guarding the people in the hall to prevent them from coming out. They didn't notice the guard sitting on the ground at the courtyard gate for a moment.

Ye Weiliao raised his head and gestured with Feng Pingping to the left and right. The two circled around to both sides of the courtyard wall, jumped over at the same time, drew their knives at the same time, and slashed across the neck in the same way, killing two guards on both sides.

The two dragged the body back, hid it behind a tree near the courtyard wall, and stood there with their heads lowered as guards.

Feng Pingping looked at the guard at the gate of the courtyard, then quietly took a few steps sideways, lifted his body leaning against the door frame, but was still about to fall, he simply nailed the saber with the body into his shoulder, and slowly pushed the door frame.The guard at the back door in the middle looked back, thinking that the two of them were talking, and didn't care.

Ye Weiliao stood with his head bowed, just listening attentively to the voices coming from the main hall.

"Evil way, you are not worthy to be a child of my Zhong family! You use such indecent means to blackmail us, what do you think of my Zhong family? Are you not afraid of thunder when you do such a rebellious act!" Every sentence was generous. When the words came out, no matter the tone, tone, or the frustrating frustration in them, they were all familiar, and the face of that person was still in front of my eyes, it was Zhong Chongyan.

"Uncle Chongyan, why get angry?" There was another laughing voice, it was Shi Youyou and Zhongwei.
