The rivers and lakes are full of vests

In the overcrowded teahouse, the scene was full of boiling water. The storyteller was talking about the highlights on the stage, and Xingmu clapped his hands.

The stage is lively, and the audience is naturally chattering.

The two men drank hot wine and chatted for a while.

"Hey, have you heard? Not long ago, a traitor appeared in the Tianji Sect and joined the Demon Sect."

Another man waved his hand, "Who said that? I heard that that person is originally from the Luoying Sect and has been lurking in the Tianji Sect."

"Really? If this person is really a member of the Devil's Cult, and he was able to hide from Sect Master Lu for such a long time, then he is really well hidden."

"Of course it's true. Now it's spread all over the world. This person is not a simple spy. He is the eighteenth envoy of the Luoying Sect!"

The other man stopped drinking and said in surprise, "Didn't you say that the Luoying Sect only has seventeen envoys? Why did an eighteen envoy pop up?"

"So why is it that he is not simple? It is precisely because the world does not know that there is such a person in Luoying, so he has been hiding in the Tianji sect for so many years without being discovered."

"You said that he is so powerful, so how could he be discovered?"

The man who had been talking eloquently glanced at the noisy surroundings, and said in a low voice: "This is related to some rumors in the Jianghu recently. I heard that the eighteen envoys have been dormant in the Tianji Sect for many years, all in order to steal As for the news about the mausoleum map, Sect Master Lu has been searching for the mausoleum map in private all this time, and this time he mobilized his troops to conquer the Luoying Sect because Shi Qinghan stole the fragments of the mausoleum he found."

"Ah, this... I remember that the major martial arts sects openly swore that they would never compete for the map of the tomb for other people's schemes. Isn't this Lu Zongzhu..."

"Don't think these martial arts people are so righteous and awe-inspiring. They say no, and they are fighting in private. Who doesn't want the treasure that shakes the world? I see, neither the Tianji Sect nor the Luoying Sect are good things. , Because of the battle for ascending the mausoleum, those shady things have slowly surfaced, let's just watch how they bite dogs."

After the man finished speaking, he sneered and drank a glass of wine without noticing a sharp gaze from a table in the corner.

And there were five people sitting at a table in that corner, three men, one woman, and an old woman.

Two of the men were dressed in servant's clothes, and a man and a woman behaved intimately, like a newlywed couple, while the old woman was dressed in rich and noble clothes, looking at the young couple kindly.

At first glance, these five people looked like the old lady, the son, and the wife of some wealthy family came out for tea with their servants.

The young man touched his chin unnaturally, and was held down by the young woman, "Just get used to it."

Hearing this, the man put down his hands, but wearing the mask for several days always made her face itchy, and she couldn't help but think of how Shiqi had been living with this mask for many years.

These five people are exactly Fu Peibai and others after the disguise.

The day before leaving the burrow for Kyoto, Yu Furong came to the burrow. She seemed not at all surprised to see Fu Peibai here, and only smiled and said that they met again.

Afterwards, with the help of Yu Furong, they completely changed their appearance and set off for the capital to search for the Dengling Tower. They hurried on their way leisurely, and it would be the tenth day when they arrived in Xingyang City.

Fu Peibai originally wanted to take the opportunity to visit Wen Xuefeng, but Shi Qinghan stared at her very closely, until today when she was about to leave Xingyang City, she did not find the opportunity.

Outside the teahouse, it was getting dark, which meant that they were about to go on the road. In the past few days, in order to avoid the pursuit of Lu Wencheng and the major sects, they had been traveling at night and resting during the day.

There was no conversation at the table, only the mist rising from the scalding tea and warm wine.Shi Qinghan put down his teacup and made a loud noise, the second envoy got up immediately, and followed the two men who had just discussed the Luoying Sect of Tianji Sect out of the teahouse.

Fu Peibai stared at this scene and frowned.

Shi Qi's expression was hidden behind the steaming mist, and he couldn't see the whole picture clearly.

After a while, Fu Pei stood up and said in a deep voice, "I'll go to have a urinate, and I'll come back soon."

Shi Qinghan smiled and nodded, "Go, follow him."

The long teacher got up quickly and followed behind Fu Peibai.

After the figures of the two disappeared in the teahouse, Shi Qinghan looked at Shi Qi meaningfully, swirled the wine in the glass, and asked, "Aren't you going to stop him?"

Shi Qi's eyes fell on the cup with tea leaves floating in it, "I will not stop her from doing whatever she wants."

After hearing this, Shi Qinghan let out a rough laugh, "Fu Peibai is a rare clean person in the world. Unfortunately, in this world, the cleaner you live, the faster you die. If he wants to die, you won't stop him." ?"

Seventeen was silent for a moment, then raised his head and stared at Shi Qinghan, "Don't stop me, I know she is a human being, and asking her to live against her own principles and beliefs would be worse than death for her, and if she died, I would not will live."

Shi Qinghan's smile was fixed on her face, and her expression gradually became gloomy, "You know, my order to the head teacher is that if Fu Peibai dares to disobey me, then kill him."

Shi Qi's face was pale and his tone was firm, "No, the leader will not kill her."

Shi Qinghan raised his eyebrows, "How can you be sure that I won't kill him? Now that I have obtained the Map of the Tomb, he is of no value to me. It depends on my mood whether to kill him or not."

"The leader knows how important she is to me. If she dies, Seventeen will die too. I have always believed that the leader is not a cold-hearted person." Seventeen paused for a moment, then continued: "The leader said to Seventeen, I have warmth, if not for this, as early as 12 years ago, the leader would not have made an exception and let Xing Guang and I walk out of the cave alive."

Shi Qinghan stared at Shiqi and didn't say anything for a long time. After a while, she laughed lowly, "Indeed, I won't kill him, it's for your sake. Shiqi, I promised you that I will wait until tomorrow. If you have revenge, I will set you free."

Shi Qinghan lowered his eyes, "I hope at that time, you can forget everything and gain real happiness."

Shi Qi pursed his lips and said, "Shi Qi also hopes that when all the dust settles, the leader can be truly relieved."

Shi Qinghan smiled, with desolation in his eyes, "I hope."

Afterwards, the two didn't talk any more, Shi Qi stared out the window at the gradually dark night, although he was sure that Shi Qinghan would not hurt Fu Peibai, he couldn't help but worry about her safety.

At this time, Fu Peibai went into the toilet in the name of Xiaojie. After entering, he turned out through a small window at the back.

She climbed up the edge of the wall, flew up to the ridge of the roof, and kept scanning the criss-crossing alleys while moving fast.

After a while, a dog barking and a man screaming could be heard in front of her. She exerted her strength and quickly approached the sound.

Walking closer, she caught a glimpse of the sound source on the high ridge.

A man was bitten by a black hound, with large and small wounds all over his body, and he crawled feebly on the ground with his lame legs, screaming for help.

The second teacher stood leaning against the wall with an indifferent expression.

Fu Peibai clenched his fists tightly, thinking how to save this man without anyone noticing, the next moment he saw a tall and strong man who was drunk suddenly walking out of the alley.

The man approached, saw the scene in front of him, trembled all over, and shouted: "Where are the wild dogs!"

This sound!

Fu Peibai was startled, and looked intently, the hazy man's face in the night gradually revealed his resolute features under the moonlight, who else could it be if it wasn't Meng Yan?

Why is Brother Meng here?

Fu Peibai was surprised when he heard the second teacher say in a cold voice: "Midget your own business, get out."

Meng Yan's face was flushed red by the smell of alcohol, and he looked at the dying man who was bitten by a fierce dog, and shouted: "It turns out that you let the dog bite people, I take this business seriously It's settled!"

After yelling, he kicked the dog away, rushed up with his bare hands, and fought with the second teacher.

The two were evenly matched, Meng Yan's blood surged up, he let out a loud shout, released all his internal energy, and punched the second teacher's chest, knocking him back a few feet.

The Second Teaching Envoy covered his chest and coughed twice, "Tong...Ti Quan, are you from the Mingxiao sect?"

Meng Yan frowned with thick eyebrows, "I don't know what the Mingxiao sect or the Anxiao sect are, so spare your life and get out of here."

Fu Peibai breathed a sigh of relief when the second teacher didn't move, when another person slowly appeared in the night, tall and calm, he was the long teacher.

She couldn't help but raised her heart again, secretly worrying about Meng Yan.

"Hey, it's still exciting, isn't it, what do you guys want?" Meng Yan said impatiently.

The long teacher stretched out a finger and pointed at the dying man on the ground, "We will decide his life. As for yours, if you don't hesitate to die, you can also take it."

Meng Yan was so angry that he was completely drunk, he sneered and said: "Okay, I haven't gone down the mountain for so many years, and I will meet you as soon as I get off the mountain. It seems that God wants me to be a hero, so I won't give up. , stop talking nonsense, come on!"

With a sound of "咻", the long teacher's saber flew away, and the sword rotated at a high speed. Meng Yan picked up the bench by the street and kicked it. The flying sword hit the wooden bench, and the wooden bench burst into pieces.

Meng Yan jumped high, charged his right fist for a blow, and the Changjiao stretched out his palm to receive the blow. A powerful air burst out from both of them at the same time, and the wooden shed on the side was directly overturned to the ground.

"Martial arts are good!" Meng Yan roared, turning his fists into claws, grabbing Changjiaoshi's wrist, pinching his three-inch acupoint, exerting all his strength, his left foot raised his knee and hit the opponent's abdomen.

His movement was extremely fast, originally this attack was sure to hit, but suddenly he was attacked by the second emissary from behind, the opponent raised his knife and slashed at his neck, he staggered forward, the emissary took the opportunity to get rid of the shackles.

Meng Yan bared his teeth, "Okay, come together!"

The three of them fought together quickly. Fu Peibai floated down from the roof calmly, dragged the man on the ground to the shadow, and checked it. Fortunately, there was no fatal injury on the man. "Can you walk by yourself?"

The man nodded tremblingly, "Yes, yes."

Fu Peibai hummed, ignored him, and turned his attention back to the three people who were fighting fiercely.

Meng Yan is one against two, so he is not at a disadvantage, but over time, his body speed will inevitably slow down. Every time at this time, the second teacher will approach his back and charge up a blow.

They were not in a hurry to kill Meng Yan, more like they were teasing their prey, they waited until the prey was exhausted before giving the fatal blow.

Like a beast that knows how to encircle, it kills its prey little by little, so as to enjoy the hunting process.

Fu Peibai gritted her teeth, and when she saw Mengyan's thigh being swept by the spiky plank, she let out angrily and jumped out of the shadow.

"enough!"

The movements of the three were all stagnant. After seeing the person coming, the second sect envoy said with a cold face, "We are acting according to the order of the sect master. Don't do anything bad."

Fu Peibai sternly said: "That man's words are not condescending, just a little punishment is enough, why did he die?!"

"He shouldn't have been heard by the leader."

Fu Peibai stood in front of Meng Yan and stretched out his long arms, "Anyway, I have already let that person go. As for this one, it has nothing to do with this matter. If you want to pursue it, you can blame me."

Before the long teacher on the opposite side could speak, Fu Peibai felt a generous and strong hand resting on her shoulder behind her.

"Young man, thank you for your kind help, but I can settle this matter, don't worry."

Fu Peibai looked back at Mengyan, only then did he realize that he still had a pimple on his face, so he didn't recognize him. Just as she was about to recognize her, the long teacher said: "The leader expected you to be a woman. Ren, that's why I'm keeping an eye on you," he paused for a moment, then suddenly raised his voice and reprimanded: "Fu Peibai, how do you let Shi Qi deal with it like this? You helped me and fulfilled my kindness, have you ever thought about it? How difficult is it for Qi to be caught between you and the leader?!"

Fu Peibai was taken aback, his expression darkened.

Meng Yan, who was behind her, was shocked, turned her around, and asked tentatively, "You...are you Xiaobai?"

Fu Peibai nodded.

Meng Yan suddenly became excited, waved his big hand, and hugged her, "Great, I finally found you, you don't know that I heard that you became a member of the Demon Cult on the mountain, but I was terrified. I reckoned that there must be some misunderstanding, so I hurried down the mountain to look for you.

What's going on.Now the whole world is yelling at you to be beaten and killed, and it is also heard that you have kidnapped the peak master, where is she?Why do you look like this again? "

Fu Peibai forced a smile, and got out of Meng Yan's arms, "It's a long story, Brother Meng, it's better to settle the matter at hand now."

Meng Yan snorted coldly, and his whole body was full of momentum, "It's just in time for you to come, and the two of us, brothers, will work together to clean up these two rats."

"Who are you talking about?!" The second teacher shouted.

"Let's just talk about what's wrong with you? You two look at each other with evil eyebrows, and you don't seem like a good person. After a fight, it should be like this. You will only use some dirty tricks, bah."

The long teacher sneered, "Means? I'm afraid you haven't seen what is called a real method?"

Meng Yan was about to choke back immediately, Fu Peibai hurriedly stopped him, "Okay, stop talking, Brother Meng, I'll settle this matter, don't meddle in it anymore."

Meng Yan opened his mouth, but finally closed it.

Fu Peibai faced the chief teacher, and said in a clear voice: "Let him go, I will plead guilty to Shi Qinghan for this matter, and I won't embarrass you." When it came to the last sentence, her voice became softer, "I won't embarrass Shi Qi either. .”

The long teacher squinted his eyes, as if thinking about it, and after a while, he replied: "Then let's go, Fu Shaoxia with a dignified spirit."

Meng Yan was unhappy, and shouted: "What's your tone? Who are you mocking? Shut up if you can't speak! Damn it."

Fu Peibai didn't mind, she said indifferently: "I reunited with an old man, and I have something to say, you give me a cup of tea, and I'll come when I'm done."

The long teacher said neatly: "Okay." After saying that, he walked to the end of the alley with the second teacher.

Meng Yan stared at their backs and gritted his teeth with hatred, "Why do you have no temper when he talks about you like that?"

Fu Peibai shook his head with a smile, "It's okay, why bother to talk fast with others."

Meng Yan sighed, pulled her to look around, and asked: "Just now I heard you talked about the leader, Seventeen, Shi Qinghan, are you really with Luoying Sect right now?"

"Yes, but it's not as rumored by the outside world. Time is limited, so I'll make a long story short. My real enemy is not Luoying Sect, but Lu Wencheng. Falling shadows teach.

He has been secretly searching for the map of the tomb for so many years, colluding with the king of Yan, in a vain attempt to change the dynasty and change the owner of the country. Now that the map of the tomb has appeared in Shi Qinghan's hands, Lu Wencheng couldn't sit still, so he wanted to arrest him Shi Qinghan and I. "

Meng Yan's eyes widened in disbelief, "What? Sovereign, the Sovereign is the murderer who killed your whole family? How is it possible..."

"That's what it is."

"What about the Peak Master? Does the Peak Master know? Is she with you right now?"

Fu Peibai hesitated for a moment, and he didn't know how to explain Shiqi's identity to Meng Yan, so he could only explain simply: "The peak master is not actually the peak master, do you still remember the Shiqi I met during my trip to the southwest? For so many years, she has always been disguised as the peak master, and she was the one who rescued you back to the peak from the bottom of the Buddha cliff that year."

Meng Yan's expression at this moment can no longer be regarded as surprised, he felt his brain went blank, he was so shocked that he lost his ability to think, and after a while, he stammered: "Peak Master... No, it's not Feng Master, the master of the peak is, is it the Seventeenth?"

Fu Peibai nodded firmly.

"That's too... No, no, let me explain first, that is to say, our suzerain, no, Lu Wencheng is actually a sanctimonious hypocrite, and our peak master is actually a member of the Luoying sect." People, these years, have been lurking in the sect?"

"Correct."

Meng Yan swallowed, but hadn't recovered from the shock, "Does anyone else know about this?"

"Lu Wencheng's true face will be revealed to the world soon. As for Shi Qi's identity, except for the Luoying Sect and me, no one else knows yet, even Lu Wencheng doesn't know. He really thinks that Shi Qinghan has kidnapped him. His daughter Lu Yanran."

Meng Yan was silent, and after a while he suddenly changed the topic and asked: "Then you and the peak master... no, you and Shi Qi, who are you two now?"

Fu Peibai was stunned for a moment, his eyes drifted, "It's serious, why are you asking this?"

"Serious, it's a matter of your life, isn't it serious?"

Fu Peibai coughed lightly and said: "Let's not talk about this first, Brother Meng, I need you to do something for me."

Meng Yan became serious, "Say it."

"Go to the Northwest Army garrison camp outside Xiye City, go to Qu Feng, the deputy commander there, and tell him that you are my brother-in-law, and tell him to make deployments early, and you can stay there and assist him all the way. two."

"Why did you get involved with the frontier army again?"

Fu Peibai looked at him with heavy eyes, "The last Northwest Marshal was my father."

Meng Yan was stunned for a moment, didn't ask any further questions, and replied in a deep voice, "Okay, I'll go tomorrow, don't worry, I came down the mountain to find you and help you solve the predicament, right now, you can do it yourself Here I will help you with what you have to do.”

Fu Peibai smiled gently, "Thank you, Brother Meng."

Meng Yan punched her not lightly but hard, "Thank you for what you two say."

Fu Peibai originally wanted to reveal his identity as a woman, but after thinking about it, it is better to tell him after everything is settled in the future, as a "surprise" for him.

"By the way, Brother Meng, how is Zhi'er?"

"That little girl is fine, don't worry about it, she doesn't know about you, now that she and Huo Jiaran are playing together, she has a lot of cheerful personality."

Fu Peibai felt relieved, "That's good."

Meng Yan waved his hand and said goodbye to her, "Go, Ah Pei, be careful in everything and take care of yourself."

"You too, Brother Meng."

Meng Yan smiled heartily, turned around to leave, Fu Peibai thought of something, and hurriedly called him, "Brother Meng."

Meng Yan turned his head and joked: "What's wrong, can't you bear brother?"

Fu Peibai frowned, and asked softly: "You said that if you never go down the mountain again in this life, why are you now..."

Meng Yan smiled nonchalantly: "Isn't this worried about you kid? Thinking of your kid encountering difficulties, maybe where you are hiding and shivering now, being shouted and killed like a mouse crossing the street, seeing you now I'm not missing any arms or legs, so I'm relieved."

Although Meng Yan said it lightly, Fu Peibai knew very well what kind of inner struggle he had experienced when he went down the mountain.

It is easy to be born in the world, but difficult to hide from the world. Once you are contaminated with all the grievances and hatreds in the world, it will not be easy to escape.

She took a deep breath and thanked Meng Yan again through the hazy night.

"Thank you, Brother Meng."

Meng Yan turned his head back, raised his arms high and swayed, and said as he walked: "If you want to thank me, you can bring good wine to thank me next time."

Fu Peibai smiled at his back and said, "Okay!"
