The gang members of the Xuanye faction who were detained by the imperial army confessed the addresses of all the branches of the gang in various places within three days.

This incident quickly shocked the world.

People in the Jianghu are speculating about the attitude of the court, whether it wants to completely rectify the gangs in the Jianghu, or whether it wants to make an example of others.

Black and white sects that can become big will basically not be banned by the government, because it is related to the interests of both parties.

People from the rivers and lakes can intervene in things that are inconvenient for the court, such as gambling and the prostitution industry, basically because some big underworld gangs make profits behind the scenes, and this profit is also one of the fiscal revenues of local governments.

Another example is the control of speech. Daqi did not set up a special royal spy organization, and the successive emperors were more concerned about their own image of being open-minded and generous. Sometimes some unwilling Confucian scholars would gather together among the people.

Some anti-imperial speech academics are born, but not to the point of violating the king's law. At this time, some Jianghu gangs will appear, and for no reason they will start to trouble these academic groups.

Anyone who was instructed behind the scenes and who understands black and white activities can guess.

Therefore, in any era, there are basically only two reasons why Jianghu gangs can grow bigger: one is the laissez-faire of the politicians behind the scenes, and the mutual use of mutual profit relationships maintains the life of the gangs; the other is the incompetence of the court and cannot be suppressed.

Daqi obviously belongs to the former, and the gangs in the Jianghu can be regarded as hidden affiliated organizations of the imperial court, so everyone in the Jianghu guessed: The reason why the Xuanye faction was dug into the ground is probably because they were greedy for some interests that should not be touched, and they were too greedy. Ugly, only to be killed by the court to make an example to monkeys.

As a result, this sudden movement actually caused gangs of all sizes to frantically liquidate the income of all parties' industries, and voluntarily paid "missing taxes" to the government in order to protect themselves.

So don't guess what the higher-ups are thinking, who would have thought that the imperial guards would suddenly dispatch to encircle and suppress a small gang, just to search for the companion of a certain prince's family...

On the third day of the encirclement and suppression operation, the leader of the Xuanye faction and his daughter were arrested in the woods of the back mountain outside the capital.

Not long after, the whereabouts of the little companion was found out——

Xue Yao was escorted back to Beijing yesterday by the guild leader, but was robbed by a mysterious expert in green clothes on the way. The coachman reported to the branch alone.

As a result, the Forbidden Army received a new order, and the mission changed from clearing up the Xuanye faction to hunting down the man in green.

The mind above can be said to be more mysterious and unpredictable day by day.

"Seventh brother, think about it carefully, have you offended any master of the rivers and lakes in the past year!" The sixth son has been urging his younger brother to reflect on himself every day since he left the palace.

Lu Qian sat in the armchair, still closed his eyes and meditated, and did not answer.

"Speak, you!" The sixth child was impatient.

"Did you tell me?" Lu Qian opened his eyes and looked at Sixth Brother, with a rare look of fierce impatience in his eyes: "You know how to do light work, which master can you afford to offend?"

This is actually Lu Qian's misjudgment of his own swordsmanship.

For more than a year, he has practiced a set of swordsmanship known for its variety, not to mention invincible in the world, at least it is rare to meet an opponent.

But the only masters Lu Qian has seen are Juggernaut and Master Xu. These two unborn masters can defeat him within eight rounds every time they fight, so he thinks that his swordsmanship is not good enough. Comparable lightness skill is not bad.

The Juggernaut was very sad about this, this kid only spent more than a year of "amateur" time, relying on his amazing talent, he has practiced lightness skills comparable to him, this can no longer make the master feel proud and gratified.

The master who was photographed dead on the beach was very upset, and wrote a letter of abandonment in a rage.

Originally, I wanted the apprentice to show filial piety to coax him, but unexpectedly, the apprentice packed three jars of honey and went down the mountain, never to return!

Juggernaut Flying Pigeon sent a letter to sue his senior apprentice, saying how much the younger apprentice hurt his teacher's heart, and he was so angry that he wanted to go into seclusion.

The big apprentice was taken aback after reading the letter, thinking that the previous letter from the Xuanye faction was not fooling him, he really had a junior brother.

So the big apprentice put down everything at hand, and quickly went to investigate the little junior who was captured by the Xuanye faction, and wanted to vent his anger on the master himself.

These are all private affairs of the Juggernaut's family. No one inside or outside the imperial city knows what's going on, and Lu Qian doesn't even know about it.

The sixth son was most anxious. Ever since the seventh brother returned to the palace and said that he had lost Yaoyao, the sixth son had slept for less than four hours in the past three days.

"It's not a way to arrest people wearing green shirts." The fifth child frowned and looked at the two younger brothers: "If this goes on like this, it will arouse public anger."

"The suspects are already being eliminated." The sixth child said, "All those who don't know martial arts will be released, so it's still useful to catch the man in green in the past two days. After two days, the suspect will probably change his clothes."

"If you want me to tell you, this expert is either trying to blackmail us, or he is catching the wrong person. Ah Yao is so clever, where did he come from the enemy?" The fifth child said, "It's sure to be fine. Let's wait patiently for a few days. There will always be someone Bring it to your door."

The phrase "Ayao is so cute" in his words made Lu Qian, who closed his eyes and meditated, flashed countless images in his mind for an instant.

They are all pouting expressions with a little grievance.

When many things happen, they can't attract the attention of the person concerned, but they will become alive after experiencing the loss.

In my memory, my friend's face was as translucent and white as if stained by moonlight, and he looked at him with wet eyes, a little unreasonable anger.

In the past, Lu Qian felt that the anger of his companions often came suddenly and unreasonably.

Until now, he suddenly read the helplessness and dependence in those eyes, and suddenly understood the trembling anxiety under the calm expression of his little companion when he read a serious book to help him pack the salute on the day of leaving the palace.

Xue Yao always seems to like to take a roundabout way and use a way that makes people take it for granted, so that others will not abandon him, lest others find that he is an annoying person with a lot of things.

Unlike Lu Qian, he never dared to ask for love openly, but only dared to steal a little care to keep himself warm.

Lu Qian's straight-forward personality since he was a child has kept him from really understanding Xiaobandu. It was only at this moment that he got a little enlightened, and added some newly dug notes to every expression of Xiaobandu in his memory.

Although he still can't understand the weird and roundabout way of expression of the little companion, Lu Qian has already read the hidden grievance and dependence under Xue Yao's strong and calm performance.

"I can't wait any longer!" Brother Six suddenly patted the coffee table: "I went to the south with the army to look for it. The gang leader said that Yao was robbed in that forest, and the suspect might live nearby. I'm going to search all the surrounding inns!"

"Okay." Lu Qian stood up: "Let's go."

"Hey you guys..." The fifth child also stood up, he never thought that his sixth brother would have such a willful moment, let alone the seventh brother who was too rational to be human, would have such an emotional moment.

The disappearance of Xue Yao made his two younger brothers with very different personalities show opposite characteristics at the same time, and reached an amazing consensus.

This is really a historic moment.

The three brothers came to the woods where Xue Yao disappeared, and started searching for the first inn in the south.

The driver at the scene of the crime said that the man in green was chasing him from the south, so his foothold is likely to be south of here.

Fortunately, there are not many men in green clothes. When I asked the shopkeeper, the male residents in green clothes could not escape the search range within three days. However, Lu Qian did not find any masters with profound internal skills.

In the evening, the fifth prince ordered a bowl of tea at a roadside restaurant and told the two brothers to sit down and have a rest.

The sixth brother couldn't help being dissatisfied with the seventh brother: "Since you can't protect A Yao, you should obediently bring the guards with you when you leave the palace. Now..."

A strange man's voice came from behind: "Two catties of pork head meat, pick the thinner."

Lu Qian suddenly raised his eyes, his ears trembled slightly, and the airflow around his body was like countless invisible tentacles, probing towards the person who bought pork head meat behind him.

"Two more pots of daughter red." The man said again.

"Having a banquet at the official guest's house?" the shop owner accosted.

"If a wanted warrant is posted, if the mysterious expert is afraid of causing trouble, he will be killed..." the sixth prince muttered worriedly.

Lu Qian interrupted him in a low voice: "Look behind me—is the man who buys meat wearing green clothes?"

The sixth child was suddenly interrupted from thinking. He turned his head in annoyance, opened his eyes suddenly, and answered in a low voice, "Yes...it's green clothes, with silver trimmings, and a white belt with dark patterns..."

Lu Qian interrupted him: "What weapon?"

"Looks like a sword."

"like?"

"It's much longer than normal swords, and he carries it on his shoulders."

Lu Qian stopped talking.

The three brothers held their breath tacitly.

When the man who bought the pig's head hung the two jars of wine on the hilt of his sword, picked up the pig's head and turned around——

"Do it." Lu Qian ordered, and the three brothers stood up and rushed towards the man in green.

The sixth child didn't care about his gentleman's demeanor, so he sneaked up from behind, trying to snatch the man's weapon.

Unexpectedly, the man carried the heavy wine jar, turned around to avoid his sneak attack, and broke out from the siege of the three brothers with ease, and escaped from the battle circle as lightly as a feather, tapping his toes on the ground.

The man in green turned around, put the wine jar hanging on the long sword on the ground, straightened up and lazily complained to the three brothers: "Walk carefully, if you spill fine wine, only the Buddha can forgive you for me gone."

Hundreds of royal guards immediately stepped forward and surrounded the man in green.

"What a bold tone." Without saying a word, Lao Wu drew his sword and rushed forward, wanting to subdue the suspect with his own hands.

However, in just four rounds, the sword in Lao Wu's hand was knocked to the ground.

The sixth child hastily stepped forward to pick up the sword for his elder brother, and comforted him in a low voice: "Fifth brother, calm down, this guy is cunning, and he refuses to fight head-on, but he will never escape my Eight Diagrams."

After finishing speaking, the sixth child turned around to attack, but the man in green got rid of his attack very quickly.

The fifth brother hurriedly stepped forward to hold the sixth brother's respect: "Forget about the sixth brother, let's let him go, don't be as knowledgeable as these gangsters, and let the guards tie him back for interrogation."

"Hmph." Lu Qian drew out his sword, stared coldly at the man in green and said, "I don't want him to be arrogant."

"Seventh brother!" Just as the fifth and sixth were trying to dissuade him, they saw Lu Qian stepping forward with his sword in hand, and was accidentally stumbled by the stones under his feet. He knelt down on one knee and gave a big gift to the man in green.

The man in green: "..."

The fifth and the sixth hurried forward to help the younger brother: "Forget it, forget it... let him go, let him go!"

The man in green thought that the young man in purple had deep internal strength and some background, but he didn't expect that the road was unstable, so he lost the interest in the competition.

He picked up the jug on the ground with his sword, flew out of the surrounding area, and quickly disappeared.

Seeing that the other party really fell for the trick, Lu Qian stood up and jumped to catch up.

It was only now that he saw that this man's martial arts were unfathomable, and no amount of guards could stop him from escaping. If he wanted to find Xue Yao's whereabouts, he could only find a way to make the man in green relax his vigilance and wait for an opportunity to track him down.

"Seventh brother!" The fifth brothers looked shocked.

It was the first time I saw such lightness kung fu, and in an instant, the seventh brother and the man in green disappeared out of thin air.

"Uncle Master, it's your turn." A big red-faced man knocked on the chessboard, stretched his neck and looked playfully at Xue Yao, who was wearing only a thin coat on the opposite side: "Don't be afraid, if you lose this game, it's okay." Take off your pants first, and we will leave you a piece of clothes."

Xue Yao was holding the white piece in his hand, looking at the chessboard, his eyes were darkened, his face was red to the ears, and he felt that everyone in the room was secretly laughing at him.

The mocking sound of the fantasy made his ears start to ring.

These bastards are deliberately humiliating him.

If I had known earlier, it would be better to choose a martial arts competition, and I would not have to continue the competition if I pretended to be injured.

Now that he has chosen to compete in Go, he has already lost four games in a row. If he loses two more games, he will have to strip naked in front of this group of men.

It's not a big deal to take off your clothes in front of a man, and it's not like I haven't been to a bathhouse before, but the current situation is special.

The group of men in front of them are all disciples of Jianzong, and eight-pack abs are standard.

Xue Yao bears the title of a closed disciple of the Sword Master, and when he takes off his clothes, he only has one abdominal muscle. It doesn't make sense, and Lu Qian will lose his face in eight lifetimes.

"Let's get married, uncle." The red-faced man urged with a playful smile.

Xue Yao held the white piece between his index finger and middle finger, wobbling above the chessboard.

Suddenly, a slender hand held the back of his hand, and slowly and steadily pressed the chess piece in his hand on the chessboard.

Xue Yao was taken aback, turned his head, and found that the man holding his hand was dressed as a shop assistant.

"What are you messing up!" Seeing that this move actually blocked his way to victory, the red-faced man jumped into a rage, waved the meddling shop waiter away, and said "magnanimously" to Xue Yao: "This move is not counted!" Uncle Master, please help yourself."

Xue Yao looked down at the chessboard in doubt, and was about to retrieve the chess piece when he heard a familiar voice above his head——

"No regrets."

This familiar voice!

Xue Yao's heart stopped beating for a beat, and he slowly turned his head and raised his face, looking at those calm brown pupils.

"You..." Xue Yao was so surprised that his voice became hoarse.

"Does the guest officer want to help?" Someone dressed as the waiter in the shop interrupted what the little companion was reading, and smiled to help: "A round of one hundred coins."

Xue Yao: "..."

Is the prince's power leveling fee so reasonable!

His family's fat boy's Go level is earth-shattering, and he was already invincible at the age of 13!

"What can you help? Do your job!" The red-faced man frowned and dismissed the "shop waiter".

Lu Qian, who was wearing the clothes of the waiter in the shop, tilted his head and asked suspiciously, "Are you afraid, the guest officer?"

The red-faced man immediately stood up and scolded: "I'm afraid you can't afford it! A game costs 1000 taels, do you dare to play?"

Lu Qian pursed his lips and smiled.

Xue Yao: "..."

What's the matter? His family's rebellious cub hasn't seen him for a few days, and he seems to have become handsome. Damn, why does he smile like the genuine Long Aotian? It's so strange...
