[Comprehensive martial arts] The bright moon shines on you

The splashes from the sea to the east are unknown for now.At present, most of the eyes of the world are focused on Jinan, intending to see how the matter of the beggar gang will end.

However, these upcoming storms will soon have nothing to do with Mingyue Ye.

When walking into the courtyard, Mingyue Ye noticed something was wrong.But she was stepping over the threshold at the time, so she didn't think about it.When she raised her head and saw the scene in the yard, her heart constricted suddenly, and she froze there for a moment.

The willow trees in the yard are like ribbons, and the long hanging green willow branches are swaying in the wind, like smoke and mist.A person sat at the bluestone table under the willow tree.

The moment she saw that person, Han Lu and Qingming who were following her immediately rushed to her to block that person's sight firmly. The long sword at Han Lu's waist had already been unsheathed, but under the aura of that person, Her hands, which had been practicing swords for more than ten years, were trembling at this moment, and she could hardly hold the long sword in her hand.

Ming Yueye met the pair of watery eyes smiling at her through the maid who stood in front of her with all her strength, and suddenly had a feeling that what was supposed to come would always come.After a moment of silence, as if she had finally let go of something, she sighed softly.

"You go down."

"Miss!" Han Lu and Qingming turned to look at her in astonishment.

Ming Yueye shook her head, "Go down, don't die in vain."

After finishing speaking, she gently led the two of them into the house, then crossed the threshold, and walked in front of the person who had been sitting quietly in the same place from the beginning to the end, watching her with great interest.

The person who was as beautiful as a fairy concubine rested her chin in one hand, and sat beside the bluestone table in an extremely graceful posture, looking at her with a smile, her eyes as gentle as water waves.However, the high-spirited disdain did not decrease by half. She watched the white-clothed girl slowly approaching in front of her, as if she was watching her prey obediently walk into the net.

"Miss Ming from Wanmei Villa?"

Ming Yueye nodded slightly.

"Take off your veil."

Ming Yueye's slender eyelashes trembled slightly, then she raised her hand obediently.With her white and slender fingers twirling behind her ears, the beauty in white took off her veil silently.

It seems that the garden is full of spring, and the sky is also eclipsed.

Shi Guanyin's eyes, which were originally gentle and affectionate like spring water, froze for a moment, and his eyes became distant and mysterious. There was emotion in the clear water eyes, and there was a bit of resentment in the soft water-like eye waves.She stared at her for a long time with a look of admiration for rare treasures.Under her gaze, time seemed to stand still.After a long time, she sighed faintly.

"I can't keep you here anymore, let's go."

Her tone was so natural, as if no one should and should not defy what she said.On a bright moonlit night, her black eyelashes, which were as thick as a crow's feathers, drooped slightly, casting a gloomy silhouette under her eyes.As if she had resigned herself to her fate, the beauty in white gently raised her hand to put on her veil again, and followed her silently.Covered by the wide sleeves, the hands that had been tightly clenched from the beginning to the end were released lightly, leaving only a small pinch mark on the palm.

Han Lu and Qingming watched Shi Guanyin leave with Mingyue Ye, and the two figures that were fading away were as beautiful as a picture scroll blended into time.Unfortunately, no one appreciates it at this time.

Han Lu's hand holding the sword tightly tightened. At this moment, she had never hated her own powerlessness so much.Qingming gritted her teeth fiercely until the backs of the two disappeared from view, she finally let go of her tightly clenched hands, leaving a winding bloodstain on her palm.

"Notify the son and the others immediately, and the plan will start."

Messenger pigeons flew out of a small courtyard in Jinan, their white wings streaking across the blue sky.Soon, people in Beijing, Jiangnan, Shanxi...everywhere received the same message.

A house in the capital.

The sky is far away, and the clouds are like fluff.

The young man dressed in white sat under the ancient tree in the yard, retracted his slender fingers from the plump carrier pigeon, and took down a thin piece of paper that recorded the news.With one hand, he slowly spread the paper on the bluestone table, and the young man in white lowered his eyes quietly.There was only one sentence written on that thin piece of paper, but he stared at it for a long time.

The messenger pigeon standing on the side tilted its head, looked at the person who had not moved for a while with black eyes, flapped its wings, and flew back to the ancient tree behind him.

After a long time, the young man in white slowly put away the paper and turned his gaze to the chessboard beside him.On the exquisitely carved rosewood chessboard, black and white chess pieces criss-cross, obviously reaching the critical point of fighting.He raised his hand and slowly dropped a piece on the chessboard. The moment the piece landed on the chessboard, his slender fingers trembled slightly, but quickly landed firmly again.When he looked up again, his eyes had returned to calm.

A burst of familiar footsteps came from outside the yard, from far to near, and finally stopped at the gate of the yard.The young man in white didn't raise his head, "Why don't you come in."

At the gate of the courtyard, the young man in brocade clothes had a gloomy expression on his face.

"Has she been taken away by Shi Guanyin?"

"We have anticipated this matter, and the follow-up arrangements have already been made." Looking at the young man in brocade who strode up to him and sat down, the young man in white shook his head helplessly, "Why are you still so angry?"

The young man in brocade clothes drooped his eyelids, and picked up a chess piece, "Can you guarantee that she will be fine?"

The young man in white paused slightly when he stretched out his finger towards the chess box, "There is no absolute certainty in anything."

"Then you still let her go?!"

The young man in brocade clothes immediately raised his head and stared, and as soon as he raised his hand, he threw the dark chess piece in his hand onto the chessboard, disrupting the chessboard.The young man in white frowned slightly, and reached out to pick up the sunspot.

"Then what do you think we should do?"

The young man in brocade frowned, "I said I can take her to the palace."

"The emperor's feet are indeed safe." The slender fingers of the young man in white picked up the shuffled chess pieces one by one, and put them back to their original positions one by one. "But why don't you let her stay out of the gate of the palace for the rest of her life?"

The mellow and cold chess piece was lightly turned between his fingers, and he looked up at the young man in brocade clothes, "She is not the Yingying Yanyan raised by your father, she can't survive the life of being kept in a cage for the rest of her life."

The young man in brocade clothes still frowned, but he didn't speak any more.

The young man in white looked down at the chessboard that had been restored to its original shape, paused, and put the black piece that was thrown over by accident into it. After looking at it, he smiled slightly, "Don't worry, the person who disturbed the situation has appeared. This time We are already [-]% sure about this matter. What's more..." Thinking of a certain news from the west, his eyes flickered, "Shi Guanyin may not really dare to touch her."

Under the puzzled gaze of the young man in brocade clothes, he shook his head and said no more.Turning to another topic, "What do the other people say about Yang Tianjun?"

Mentioning this person, the young man in brocade clothes immediately sneered, "What else can we do, can we keep him after he has done such a thing?"

"He doesn't know that Mingyue is You Tianjun, strictly speaking, it's not a betrayal." The young man in white smiled softly, "But it's not bad. After all, he is the son of some woman, and he is not the same as us. And he wasn't the one we decided on at the beginning, Yang Tianjun."

The young man in brocade clothes had never been too meddlesome, so he was a little puzzled when he heard the words, "What about our Yang Tianjun?"

"He has something to finish. I'm afraid he won't agree to it before this thing is done. But it doesn't matter, Mingyue said, this person will be handed over to her."

Mentioning the moonlight night, the young man in white frowned slightly, but thinking of the current situation, he finally brushed away the worries in his heart and looked at the young man opposite, "How is the Ministry of War?"

"I have brought my father Wang back, and there will be no chaos with him." The young man in brocade clothes was a little careless, obviously not thinking about it, "As for the old man, he didn't plan to take this opportunity to do anything. Anyway, the throne It doesn't make a difference to him whether the person who went up is real or not."

The young man in white nodded, and looked down at the ice-white chess piece in his hand, "I hope they will do it quickly." After this matter is over, he may still have time to take care of Mingyueye.

It's just that, looking across at the young man in brocade clothes who was apparently drifting away, he smiled self-deprecatingly, probably not allowing him to take care of things so well.

When Chu Liuxiang was standing at the gate of the chief rudder of the Beggar Gang, looking at the familiar scenes around him, he wanted to sigh inexplicably.

After placing the five corpses on the boat, he disembarked and changed his identity, trying to secretly check with the relatives and friends of the five people to see if there was anything unusual about them before they disappeared.He never thought that those who knew their whereabouts would either be killed on the spot, or they would be dead when he found them. No matter who he found, he would be just one step too late.It almost made Chu Liuxiang wonder if he committed the crime of Tai Sui this year.

After he finally found out from the pictures of beauties in their collection, these few people had the same confidante in their lives, and they all received a distress letter from this confidante recently.Then after they went out, they lost their whereabouts one after another and were killed.All doubts seemed to be concentrated on the mysterious beauty named Qiu Lingsu.So it is conceivable that when Chu Liuxiang learned that Qiu Lingsu was the former wife of the beggar gang leader and the adoptive mother of the current beggar gang leader Nan Gongling, and that she was still ill in bed because of the sensational poisoning case half a month ago, What a vicissitudes of life.

In fact, he was supposed to attend the funeral of the head of the Ci Gang back then, given Chu Liuxiang's relationship with the Beggars' Gang.But on the way to the beggar gang, he was temporarily stumbled by something. When he arrived at the main rudder of the beggar gang, what he faced was the tragic scene of the guests being poisoned. He didn't even have time to talk to Nangong Ling. Reminiscing about the old days, he was only taken to Ren Ci's mourning hall for a stick of incense, and then he watched Nangong Ling run to the door to welcome the miracle doctor brought by Lu Xiaofeng.

The collective poisoning of the high-ranking members of the Beggar Gang and its guests is very important, and it involves the honor and disgrace of the gang. The Beggar Gang will definitely not hand it over to outsiders for investigation.So at that time, he also tactfully finished the incense and left, and he didn't even meet Lu Xiaofeng, who had been wanting to get to know him for a long time.

Never would he have thought that he would still step into the chaotic situation of the Beggars' Gang after going round and round.Thinking of this, Chu Liuxiang couldn't help but want to sigh again.

Nangong Ling was his old friend, and he was very enthusiastic when he saw Chu Liuxiang's visit, but he showed a little embarrassed look after hearing his request to see Qiu Lingsu.The current head of the beggar gang sighed helplessly, "My mother was too poisoned, and ordinary doctors couldn't do anything about it, so we specially invited famous doctors from Xinglin to come for treatment. But you know the temper of Xinglin's genius doctors. They are responsible, and even my son, who wants to visit, needs their permission. Although my mother's current situation is gradually improving, she was still injured by the glass of poisoned wine and is now resting. You want to see It won't be easy for her, I'm afraid."

Chu Liuxiang expressed his understanding. Xinglin's style of work has always been like this, so he didn't think too much about it.It's just that in this way, can we really only wait for Mrs. Qiu Lingsu to recuperate before continuing to investigate?

It was already lunch time after coming out from the main rudder of the beggar gang. The aroma of food came from the rows of small shops along the street. Chu Liuxiang was walking on the bustling long street, and was hooked by the smell of food in the shops along the street. Also hungry.Mr. Chu, who has never treated himself badly, was about to put things aside and find a restaurant with the most delicious taste to eat, when he was stopped by someone on the street.

The person who came was dressed in gray clothes, he looked like a person in charge of a big family.His appearance is very ordinary, but his words are polite, his manners are also very polite, and the smile on his face gives people a feeling of spring breeze.

"My master knew that Chu Xiangshuai had arrived in Jinan, so he specially set up a set of banquets in the Xinxin Garden, and asked Chu Xiangshuai to meet you." At this point, he seemed to be afraid that Chu Liuxiang would not want to go, so he added a special sentence , "My master said that Chu Xiangshuai may have a clue about the matter that Chu Xiangshuai is currently investigating."

Hearing his last words, Chu Liuxiang's eyes flickered slightly, and then she smiled and said, "Then please show me the way."

The gray-clothed servant did not lie, Suixin Garden is the best restaurant in Jinan, and his master reserved the best private room and the best table.

Chu Liuxiang pushed open the door of the private room, and saw that exquisite dishes had been set on the round table in the center of the room.Double crispy soup, sweet and sour carp, eight-treasure duck, three fruits in honey sauce...all are authentic traditional dishes. The aroma of the food is in the air. move.On the right side of the table, a good altar of Nurhong has been unsealed, and the aroma of wine is lingering.

It seemed that someone had already calculated the time. When he entered, the dishes had already been set.And it happened to be just out of the pot and served on the table, not too early or too late, and you can start eating as soon as people arrive.

However, although the dishes had been prepared, the person who originally wanted to see Chu Liuxiang was nowhere to be seen.

Chu Liuxiang glanced at the elegantly furnished private room, but obviously there was no other person, raised her eyebrows, "Where's your master?"

The gray-clothed servant lowered his head respectfully, "If my master can come, he would naturally want to meet Chu Xiangshuai."

This is a bit interesting to say.

Chu Liuxiang's thoughts turned around on the word "can", the corners of her lips curled up, and she smiled a little playfully, "Then did the master leave any words?"

"There is this one, please wait for Chu Xiangshuai."

The gray-clothed servant seemed to be waiting for Chu Liuxiang's question, and turned around and took out a mahogany lacquer box, with exquisite cloud patterns carved on the box surface, making it square and seamless.The mechanism is set up so delicately that at first glance there is no way to find the lock there.After the gray-clothed servant handed the wooden box to Chu Liuxiang, he bowed without saying anything, and withdrew.

Of course, the mechanism on the surface of the box would not trouble Chu Liuxiang, the commander-in-chief of the bandit. He quickly found the location of the switch and opened the wooden box.

"It looks like it came from the hands of a few mechanism masters in the rivers and lakes."

Looking at this exquisitely crafted box, Chu Liuxiang thought of the trick master Zhu Ting for a moment, and then shook his head.The mechanical wooden box made by Zhu Ting is rare in the market, but it is not without it.Trying to deduce the origin of the owner here from this is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack, and it may not be possible to find it.

He simply put aside this specious clue, and looked into the box with great interest, wondering what the owner of the room wanted to tell him by inviting him here.There is no other mechanism inside the wooden box, only a letter lying quietly.Stretching out her hand to pick up the envelope, Chu Liuxiang glanced at the seal casually, and then stopped in vain.

The place where the envelope is sealed with red mud is printed with an extremely exquisite and complex seal character. The design of the font is very beautiful and feels like it is from everyone's hands.There are layers of cloud patterns and dark traces wrapping this seal character, making it as exquisite as a mysterious symbol.That is a "hidden" word.

Chu Liuxiang's originally somewhat careless expression gradually subsided. He stared at the seal lacquer that was as exquisite as a work of art, and a name slowly appeared in his mind.

Hidden element secrets.

Yinyuanhui's messages are divided into four levels according to their importance: "Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Huang".However, there are rumors that there is actually another layer above the highest-level "Heaven Rank" news.The news classified into this category is extremely important, as long as a little bit of wind leaks out, it may cause turmoil in the world and set off a bloody storm, so it is permanently sealed by Yinyuanhui, except for the real master behind Yinyuanhui, No one has access to these messages.

These dark scrolls, which recorded the most mysterious and deadly news in the Jianghu, were named Yinyuan Secret Mirror by the Yinyuan Society.

In addition, there have always been rumors that the secret book of Yinyuan is not absolutely impossible to be seen by others. When the time is right, the people of Yinyuanhui will take it out and hand it over to the right person.

The news about the Yinyuan secret mirror has already been listed as a "heavenly rank" within the Yinyuan Society.Chu Liuxiang used to think that the rumors in the Jianghu were just rumors in the Jianghu, and they could not be true.But now, when he saw the envelope delivered to him, which was sealed in the same way as the Yinyuan Secret Art that he knew, he was uncommonly shaken.Could it be that there is really news in this world that is so important that it can cause all major forces in the world to reshuffle their cards?

If it were someone else, when encountering such an important and mysterious matter, they might have hesitated for a long time.However, Chu Liuxiang is Chu Liuxiang. After thinking about the key points, he only glanced at the exquisite and beautiful lacquer seal with a kind of admiration, and opened the envelope neatly, and took out the legendary Mysterious and unpredictable, many people want to see the hidden secrets that cannot be seen.

It seems to be afraid that the fragrance of the spices will affect the taste of the food, so no incense is burned in the best private room in the Xinxin Garden.The aroma of food and the rich aroma of wine collide in the air, and even the pickiest guests will be aroused by this alluring aroma.However, after the person sitting at the table took out the letter paper, he stared at the gold-sprinkled paper and remained motionless, as if sitting like a statue.

After a long time, the person sitting like a statue finally moved.The slender and clean fingers folded the few pages of paper and placed them in the palm.No matter how hard he tried, the few pages of thin paper shattered into a pile of paper scraps and fell into the wooden box that originally contained the letter.

After neatly destroying the news that was enough to cause a sensation in the world, Chu Liuxiang smiled helplessly, lifted a piece of duck meat with his chopsticks, and put it in his mouth, "No wonder the master prepared such a big table of dishes for me. ..."

He should be compensated for digging such a big hole.

After learning of some news that would indeed cause turmoil in the entire Jianghu, Chu Liuxiang didn't show the slightest touch on his face. He even poured himself some wine with great interest, and after finishing the food, he stood up and pushed Opened the door of the room.

The gray-clothed servant who brought him before was waiting respectfully outside the door, and when he saw Chu Liuxiang coming out, he politely asked him if he had finished eating.

Chu Liuxiang looked around his face, but couldn't find any trace of disguise.Recalling the walking movements when he brought him here, I don't think his lightness kung fu is so brilliant.This seemingly ordinary person looks like he is just the manager of a big family, and no one can detect any flaws.

However, how could it be possible for a person who can handle such important news to be just an ordinary person who doesn't know anything?

Chu Liuxiang's eyes turned around him covertly but politely, without pointing out, just smiled, "I ate very well, thank you for your hospitality."

The gray-clothed servant nodded, and just when Chu Liuxiang thought he would continue to pretend he didn't know what to do and sent him away, he suddenly said, "Then, how is Chu Xiangshuai going to deal with that matter?"

Chu Liuxiang paused as she was about to turn around and go downstairs, and then slowly turned her head to look at him.The servant in gray stood there and looked at him with a smile.Until this time, he still had a respectful and humble expression, and even bent his back slightly to show his respect for the guests.However, if they really met his eyes, no one would mistake him for a servant of any family.

This kind of gaze was very familiar to Chu Liuxiang, the gaze of a strong man.

This person's status within the Yinyuan Society must not be low.This message quickly flashed through Chu Liuxiang's mind, and then he raised his eyes to meet his gaze frankly.

"Before I say it, can I ask, why me?"

The gray-clothed servant never showed any emotion, "Because you are the most suitable."

This answer seemed to mean saying nothing, but Chu Liuxiang nodded as if she understood something.Then his expression gradually calmed down, his clear and sharp pupils were stained with a cold dark color, he opened his mouth in a low voice, it was to answer the question of the person opposite, and it seemed to be talking to himself.

"Everyone is responsible for their own choices."

The servant in gray nodded, and seemed not surprised by his answer.Then, he smiled and said again, "Then, Chu Xiangshuai, do you mind meeting another person?"
