The prince is very fierce

Chapter 5 Strangers (186/511)

It was getting dark, and the lights in the west city of Fanyang County were sparse. An inn was booked, and there were two Jianghu guests standing there, one of whom was Chang Shijian with a sword hanging on his waist.

In the lobby of the inn, a dozen of the core figures of Dayinglou were sitting at the table eating a simple meal.

Li Hansheng, Zhu Liu, Mr. Pei, and Lu Hongxue were sitting at the same table, and there was a map on the table.

Dayinglou is the top force in the world, famous for killing wolf guards. When recruiting people, they always strive for excellence rather than large numbers. In addition, the number of hidden stakes in various places is only a thousand people, but in terms of combat power, it is estimated that only the emperor can match it. The secret guard within the city.

There are more than a dozen people present, who are the core figures of Daying Tower. Most of them have famous names in the world, such as Zheng Yushan, the old leader of the Qingcheng Sect, Qiu Fengqing, the descendant of the Baji Sect, etc., and all of them are hung in the archives without exception. The list of heroes from all directions is overwhelming.

Li Hansheng's expression was as gloomy as ever. After looking at the map for a few times, he said softly:

"The Criminal Investigation Department has discovered our movements and will definitely come to Youzhou. According to the news sent by the hidden stake, Song Ying will come over, and I heard that Eunuch Jia has not shown up in recent days on the excuse of recuperating from illness. I guess Jia My father-in-law is here too.”

Zheng Yushan was considered older. Hearing these words, he turned his head:

"Eunuch Jia has never left Chang'an City in his life. He is almost eighty years old. Will he run to Youzhou?"

Others also have this doubt. After all, Eunuch Jia's reputation as the "Guardian Saint of Da Nei" is too great. He has protected three monarchs for a period of time, and he has been assassinated countless times by enemy countries, vassals, and forces left over from the previous dynasty, but he has never been able to get close to Da Yue. The emperor takes half a step.

It’s self-evident what kind of assassin he is who can be sent to assassinate Emperor Dayue, but after entering Chang’an, all of them disappeared without exception, so that in the world, there is no record of Eunuch Jia fighting anyone, and no one knows how strong he is. Know.

Such an old dragon king came to the small mud pond in the rivers and lakes to beat the autumn wind. Not to mention Zheng Yushan and others, even Zhu Liu frowned slightly.

Li Hansheng frowned and thought for a moment: "In order to deceive others, Zhu Liu was asked to go to the Tang family in the name of revenge and cover up our whereabouts. The Tang family has a close relationship with the imperial court and will definitely ask for help from the imperial court. Song Ying is not sure about dealing with Zhu Liu and me. "It's not impossible to invite Eunuch Jia out."

Zhu Liu rubbed the hilt of the sword with his fingers and was silent for a moment: "Whether it is a dragon or an insect, you won't know until you come. You go to Bodhi Island as planned, and I will go to the Tang family alone."

There were more than a dozen people there, and they all hesitated when they heard this.

There is a big gap between the ten military commanders. There is a difference of two Tang Jiao between the strong military commanders such as Zhu Liu and Chen Daozi, and the weaker ones like Xue Chengzhi and Zhang Buzheng.

Song Ying was born in the Cao family of Junshan, and had been frightening the world for many years for the imperial court. He was obviously the top martial artist, not to mention Eunuch Jia.

No matter how powerful the sword master Zhu Liu is, he can't stop Song Ying and Eunuch Jia from joining forces. Going alone is no different from dying, but if Li Hansheng also follows, no one will go to Bodhi Island for business.

Li Hansheng frowned, considered it for a moment, and said softly: "The Tang family's matter needs to be a bigger deal to attract everyone's attention and avoid being discovered by others about the unusual activities on Bodhi Island. There is no point if you die too quickly. Zheng Yushan and I, Qiu Fengqing goes to Bodhi Island, and the others will follow you to the Tang family. If you meet Eunuch Jia, you can delay it, but don't give up everything if you can't. "

Everyone nodded slightly, feeling that this method was more appropriate. After all, going to Bodhi Island was done in secret, and no outsiders knew about it. There was no need to go to so many people. Zhu Liu is the top fighting force in Yinglou, and the name of Sword Master has great appeal in the world. It is not worth dying in the Tang family just to cover up, so it is better to protect Zhu Liu.

Mr. Pei sighed and nodded: "That's all we can do. Get started as soon as possible. The longer you delay, the easier things will go wrong."

Everyone nodded.

After Li Hansheng finished arranging things, he stood up, took Zheng Yushan and Qiu Fengqing out of the inn, and rushed to Bodhi Island in a light outfit.

The three sects and nine sects from the West City gathered together. Although there were not as many as before in the Jianghu, there were still quite a few.

Li Hansheng rode his horse through the street, and when he was about to walk out of the market entrance, he suddenly frowned and turned his head to look at the door of a small shop on the side of the road...

------

At dusk, the West Street in Fanyang County.

Ning Qingye led the horse and walked beside Ning Yuhe. He had been running around for days, and his brows looked a little sleepy.

Having entered Youzhou, Ning Yuhe faced the place where he grew up. He was emotionally moved by the scene, and was inevitably a little sentimental. From time to time, he talked about things that happened when he was walking around Youzhou when he was a child.

The two of them came outside the inn on the small street. Liu Wu was still leaning on the recliner, shaking the purple clay pot in his hand.

Ning Yuhe knew Liu Wu, so he handed the reins to Ning Qingye, walked to a chair under the eaves and sat down, took out a piece of silver and put it on the tea table, and said softly:

"Shopkeeper Liu?"

Liu Wu opened his eyes and took a look. After recognizing Ning Yuhe, he smiled softly and sat up:

"What kind of day is it today? If it weren't for the lack of people in my inn, I would have thought I was back ten years ago."

Ning Yuhe was a little confused and thought she suddenly returned to Youzhou. Liu Wu was surprised and just nodded and chuckled:

"Something to come back, um... Shopkeeper Liu, have you heard any news about Sword Master Zhu Liu recently?"

When Liu Wu heard this, he raised his hand to push the silver ingot back, shook his head and sighed: "How could I know this? Besides, you know the rules of the world. Even if you know the whereabouts of the sword master, do I dare to tell you?"

Ning Yuhe knew that there were some coercive measures and asked the information dealer to sell Wu Kui's whereabouts, unless he wanted to reincarnate early after living enough. She smiled and said:

"Zhu Liu and I have no grudges. We are friends. I just want to talk to him about some trivial matters. If you know about it, please make it easier and give me a way."

Liu Hu shook his head: "I really don't know. Why don't you go and find out somewhere else?"

Ning Yuhe knew the rules of Jianghu people, and he couldn't ask any questions no matter how much he asked, so he could only nodded, stood up and prepared to leave. Pick a book

Liu Wu thought for a moment and then said: "Miss Ning, what happened back then is in the past. You shouldn't come back, especially at this time."

"Thank you, I just came back to take a look..."

Ning Yuhe smiled lightly and said nothing more.

Ning Qingye led the horse and accompanied Ning Yuhe out of the small street, and said softly: "Master, Zhu Liu hasn't made a move yet, let's go hide near the Tang family first, and wait for Zhu Liu to make a move, and find a chance to say hello to him. That’s it.”

Ning Yuhe nodded, and the two of them arrived at the inn where they were staying.

After a long journey, I had to wash up after falling down. It was too troublesome to go up and downstairs to get hot water. They should have washed together, but Ning Yuhe didn't dare to take a bath with Ning Qingye, so he had to separate Ning Qingye first and secretly go by himself. Wash well. Then he said softly:

"Qingye, go to Wang's shop at the entrance of the market to buy some food and come back. The food there is delicious. You want it to be freshly cooked. I don't eat meat."

Ning Qingye didn't want to eat in the inn, so she went out alone.

Arriving at the old shop at the entrance of the market, Ning Qingye ordered a few famous local side dishes and stood at the door waiting.

It is already dark, and people are coming and going in the market. As the New Year is approaching, more and more people are returning to their hometowns. People they know often greet each other on the street, saying "so-and-so hero, so-and-so hero". These little miscellaneous fish in the rivers and lakes sound a bit funny.

Ning Qingye leaned against the door with her sword in her arms. While she was lost in thought, she suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves approaching from far away.

The corner of his eye glanced at the people on the horse, and Ning Qingye was shaken all over. In a blink of an eye, the middle-aged scholar sitting on the horse looked very familiar, but compared to the face engraved in his bones, he looked a little older...

Horse hooves trampled across the market. Li Hansheng drove his horse forward. He noticed the scrutinizing eyes and looked at the small shop at the entrance of the market.

The tall girl in white stood blankly at the door of the shop, with crescent-shaped eyebrows and star-like eyes. She was holding the sword 'Shangchun'. She looked very similar to her mother. She was no longer in the village of Shu. Ya's a little girl learning to speak.

With a startling glance, Li Hansheng was also stunned for a moment. It was also a cold winter day. For a moment, he seemed to have returned to the bluestone alley in Chang'an City.

He was standing at the entrance of the alley buying paintings, and the chivalrous girl stretched out a hand. He could never change it at that time in his life.

I remember the two of them playing games together, the two of them lighting candles and candles in the mountains to worship the heaven and the earth, the clumsiness of his tenth month of pregnancy, and the splitting headache he had when the little girl was born, looking through ancient books to find her name...

Finally, she had an idea and said: "If you give birth at night, the moon and stars are sparse, let's call it Qingye!"

Qingye...

Li Hansheng, who had forgotten what feelings were for many years, twitched slightly at the corners of his eyes.

But that's all.

When their eyes met for a moment, Li Hansheng averted his gaze, and with two followers, he left the market entrance and sped towards the east.

Ning Qingye stood at the entrance of the shop, holding the sword tightly in his hand. He didn't react until the back figure disappeared from the end of the field of vision.

After Li Hansheng left with his book box on his back, she never saw the man she should call dad again, until the day her mother died in the wilderness.

Walking through iron shoes, I was looking for the whereabouts of Li Hansheng all the time, but I never wanted to meet him again, just like this on the street.

There were no explanations as expected, nor was he a cold shoulder. He just glanced at her and left, just like a stranger.

"Li Hansheng..."

Ning Qingye clenched her mother's sword tightly, her knuckles turned white, and uncontrollable anger appeared in her eyes until she could no longer restrain herself.

"Li Hansheng!"

With blood-red eyes, Ning Qingye jumped up from the shop entrance, snatched a ranger's horse, and chased towards the market entrance, almost hysterical.

"Girl, girl..."

In Wang's shop, an elderly woman stood at the entrance of the shop carrying packed meals, watching the unfamiliar girl in white fly away.

Jianghu is like this. There are often people who are eating and drinking in Jianghu. When something urgent happens, they leave with their swords in hand. Some people never come back.

The old woman looked at the food in her hand, and after a long time, she shook her head:

"You should be content with enough food and clothing. You are so young, what kind of world are you trying to get into..."
