Beiming and Xijue left Qingluo Temple together. Beiming knew from Dongli that Situ Haoyang was also in Qingluo Temple. Who would have thought that when he came out, he met Zhao Qiyue, and Beiming followed him.

Zhao Qiyue came out of Qingluo Temple, went down the mountain, and went to the town. He noticed that there seemed to be someone behind him. He turned around inadvertently, but he didn't find it, but he became more vigilant. When he got to a crowded part of the town, he used Shadow Shadow to let Beiming

There was no goal for a while.

Beiming was afraid of exposing himself, so he simply distanced himself, found a high point, jumped onto the roof, and observed secretly. After a while, Zhao Qiyue returned to Beiming's sight, and Beiming followed him from far to near, thinking.

Where is he going?

Within half a day, Zhao Qiyue "took" Bei Ming back to the deep valley bamboo forest, where Bei Ming met the ghost guard Dongqing. Dongqing said that he came here with some people outside the villa and heard them say that the hall master would be back in a few days.

, so I have been staying here. Not long before Beiming arrived, the person who was arranged to inquire had just returned.

"What did you find out?" Beiming asked.

Dongqing replied: "People here are tight-knit and highly vigilant, so they can't get their words out."

Beiming thought about the same thing and didn't say anything. Seeing that Dongqing seemed to have something to say, he didn't rush to interrupt.

"But we took a rough look and found that there are less than twenty-five people in Youzhutang including those that the second master and the third master got rid of not long ago."

This is not all the manpower of Youzhutang, but rather a small number of people come out to accomplish something.

"Well, you guys stay here while I try to find a way to go in and take a look." Beiming said, and temporarily separated from Dongqing and the others, hoping to find an opportunity to pretend to be someone from Youzhutang and sneak in to have a better look.

To avoid alarming the snake, the ghost guard quietly hid in the forest. Beiming circled around and found a small side door of Youzhu Hall not far away. Occasionally, someone passed by, so he lurked there. He saw the opportunity and killed one person.

He put on his clothes and disguised himself, and went in through the side door again.

There was a waist tag in the clothes, so he was lucky to get a real one. After all, Dongqing told him that the handymen and cooks in Youzhutang are nearby villagers, and 80% of the villagers don't know what kind of place it is.

Someone pays them to hire them, and they come. The rest don't know anything about it, and they can't have serious contact with the people above.

The person wearing the badge was a native of Youzhutang, so it would be easier to talk and inquire. Just as he was thinking about it, he heard footsteps behind him: "Why are you just here in a daze after I came back from an inspection? Is there anything strange?

"

"No, no." Beiming replied.

"Watch more, the hall master said there is a shadow following him, appearing and disappearing all the way. I'm afraid of unrest, so be alert." The man spoke like a superior commanding a subordinate, but Beiming made a quick decision and agreed.

Just looking back and thinking about it, I really can't take Zhao Qiyue lightly. I have been very careful to hide it, but I was still noticed.

In this case, Dongqing and the others couldn't stay here any longer. The people below didn't notice, which didn't mean that Zhao Qiyue didn't notice. But he couldn't get out so quickly to avoid being noticed, so he had to speed up.

Bypassing the patrolling people at the side door, Beiming came to the corner of the so-called main hall. There were two people guarding the back door of the main hall. Passing through the back door was the room at the back. A man came out and said: "Watch carefully, no orders are allowed."

near."

It seemed that he wanted to say something that should not be known to outsiders. After the man finished speaking, he entered the house again. This was an opportunity to inquire, but there was no easy hiding place around, so Beiming had no choice but to put the two knives hidden in his sleeves.

A silver needle was shot at the two people, and after a while the two people lost consciousness.

Walking out of the darkness, Beiming moved the two of them into the house and hid them first. There was a needle on the silver needle, which hit the acupuncture point directly. They were stunned for a while, but not for a long time. Beiming did not waste any time and quietly went there.

Go to that house, squat in the corner, and listen to what's going on inside.

"How are things going?" This was Zhao Qiyue's voice.

"Everything went well. The news that Taohuajian is going to Biluo Palace has been released." This person's voice was hoarse and he was not someone Beiming knew well.

"It seems that they have their hands full for the time being." Zhao Qiyue was writing a letter inside the house.

"Your Majesty, are you ready to take action?" said the person opposite. Since Fu Tu left for the west that year, their contact has gradually become less and less. Youzhutang will come over from time to time to get together.

Zhao Qiyue stopped writing the letter, looked at the person in front of him, and said: "Even so, you must be careful. The movements in the court are getting bigger and bigger. Your sister has already broken. Don't be too showy, otherwise you will not be able to

When we get to Peach Blossom Stream, the imperial court will kill your family first."

The man clenched his fists. When his sister died a year ago, he was out of town. He hurried back so that he could not see her for the last time. Even though people around him said it was an accident, he didn't believe it. As the young prince of Yong'an Marquis,

, Ye Jinliang tried various methods to investigate, but the result was still an accident. Even Zhao Qiyue told him so.

Zhao Qiyue patted him on the shoulder. He was still a young man and still full of vigor: "You only need to let those people focus on Taohua Stream and hold them back, and the family can be saved."

Ever since the day Princess Yong'an and Situ Haoyang reached an agreement, the Yong'an family has been on the opposite side of the Nanwan royal family. Because of Princess Yong'an's incident, although the palace gave them comfort, it has been in a state of neglect since then. There is no need to

Not removed either.

"I understand." Ye Jinliang agreed.

Zhao Qiyue closed the envelope in his hand, handed it to Ye Jinliang, and said, "The City of No Return is already in place. Take this letter to Nangong Yi from Nangong and Yao Ji from Shuangying Tower. They should naturally know what to do."

Ye Jinliang took the envelope and was about to leave. When he reached the door, he suddenly turned around and said, "By the way, I heard that the Xuanyue clan is also here. Did you call them here?"

Zhao Qiyue was a little surprised when he heard about the Xuanyue clan, but without showing it, he replied no and let Ye Jinliang go.

Beiming returned to the main hall before Ye Jinliang came out. After pulling out two silver needles, the two of them woke up not long after. They looked around in a panic and found nothing strange. For fear of being punished, they didn't say anything and continued to pretend to be on guard.

Beiming retreated and headed to Yunmo City. When he returned to Yuhua Tower, he heard that Fu Chong said that Xi Jue had gone to the inn, so he looked for him.

At this moment, his son entered the house and asked Xi Jue jokingly: "I can't live in the building, so why did I come here to send money?"

"What kind of person do you think would live here constantly asking about Peach Blossom Stream, and also go to Yuhua Tower?" Xi Jue asked, ignoring Beiming's joke.

Beiming thought for a moment and said: "Either he is an outsider or a foreigner." Beiming did not think that only some people knew about Taohuajian's reputation, but he was very confident.

Speaking of foreigners, Xi Jue paid attention. Just as he was about to say something, he heard the boy knocking on the door and saying that he was bringing breakfast. Xi Jue opened the door and took the breakfast. The boy was about to go downstairs when he met

I met the guests in the next room and greeted them with a smile.

Xi Jue left a crack in the door and listened to the noise at the door. The three people spoke with an accent that was not Nanwan's. Their clothes were the same as others, but they were somewhat disguised. He heard the sound of coming downstairs and looked back. Beiming looked back.

He had already opened the window and looked downstairs. There was always a group of people coming out of the stone door. There was still a tacit understanding. He handed this to Beiming and Xijue opened the door and followed him out.

As soon as Xijue came downstairs, several figures appeared in front of Beiming. Those people seemed to be discussing something, and then they left separately. Now it was good, Beiming looked like he had to go out. When Xijue went out, those people

Already dispersed, Beiming signaled to Xijue, who followed him toward the center of the street. Beiming closed the window and went out, heading in the opposite direction to Xijue.

Beiming followed the people out of Yunmo City and came to a small temple outside the city. The temple was small and there were few people worshiping. It was easy for Beiming to find a target. He saw that the man had not interacted with anyone, but would

Something was placed behind the statue. Beiming waited for the man to leave the temple, quickly went to the statue and took out the thing. It was a dagger with the crescent moon symbol.

Without taking a closer look, Beiming put away the dagger and continued to chase the man. He caught up with him at the city gate and entered the city. The man went straight back to the inn without looking for his companions.

As soon as the man entered the house, the door closed automatically. He said in broken Nanwan dialect: "Who is it?"

"I heard that you have been asking about Taohuajian in recent days?" Beiming sat at the round table.

"Do you have news?" the man asked, not knowing who was sitting in front of him.

Beiming smiled coldly, stood up and approached the man step by step, saying, "Not only is there, I can also show you."

Maybe it was because they had been getting nothing all this time that they decided to take a risk. They just said, "Make a price," without even asking the other party's identity.

He didn't realize that Beiming's approach was a danger. It wasn't until Beiming tied him up and his hand that was trying to hold the knife felt severe pain from his ankle that he felt that he had taken it lightly.

Beiming is preparing to tie up people and return to Yuhua Tower, and Xijue has almost solved the problem.

It turned out that the two people went straight to Yuhua Building early this morning. After arriving, one of them went to the front to find Fu Chong, the manager, and said that he wanted to buy information, while the other quietly sneaked into the backyard. The secret guard of Yuhua Building had already discovered it, but he saw behind him

Xi Jue, who followed, waved his hand at them, but the secret guard did not show up.

Fu Chong, the front man, led the person who wanted to buy the information upstairs. At the corner, he ordered the secret guard to hold the person down.

Behind him, Xi Jue followed another man and saw him groping around in the backyard. Before heading to their room, a sword was placed on the man's neck. The man reacted very quickly and moved aside, wanting to escape first and jumped down.

He walked out of the building and was surrounded by secret guards. After a hard fight, he was caught.

At this time, Xijue and Beiming were sitting in the deputy seats, and the three people were tied up by them and standing in the middle of the room. Fu Chong had just finished telling Xijue about the Xuanyue clan and stood to one side.

The Xuanyue tribe is a small tribe that lives in the gap between Weijiang Kingdom, Linmo Kingdom and Nanwanzhong. Due to the special geographical location, the three countries use this as a boundary but do not include it in their own territory. Over time, they survive like this.

Come down.

But in this world, the weak are the strongest, and day after day, they are always in crisis. In order to continue to survive, they must make a choice. Although they are weak, they have a bargaining chip due to their unique geographical location.

Xi Jue wanted to ask these people about the purpose of their trip, but these people didn't open their mouths and couldn't commit suicide by taking poison. After all, Beiming had checked several people at the beginning. So he just wasted it.

"Ahem." Xi Jue coughed lightly.

I heard Beiming sigh: "Well, it's my fault, so I just said that I heard that Peach Blossom Stream is related to the royal family, and I want to borrow some help. Also, they made an appointment to meet in a small temple outside the city in two days." As for who it is,

The man remained silent.

It's not that Beiming didn't use Shimen's methods, but these people all had that dagger on them. According to what Fu Chong said and their understanding, the Xuanyue clan's crescent moon dagger was embedded with different gems, which represented their

Since he was not an ordinary person due to his status, Beiming did not dare to make decisions without receiving orders from Gu Qingyan, not to mention that these people mentioned the royal family.

Xi Jue thought about it and realized that this was also the case, so he said: "Fu Chong, write two letters at the same time. One letter should be given to King Yu in the name of Yuhualou and let him make a decision. The other letter should be given to Third Master, and the instructions should also be given to Yu.

The king sent a letter."

Fu Chong took the order and escorted the people down with a few secret guards first.

"It would be simpler if this matter was just the relationship between the Xuanyue clan and Nanwan." Beiming said, taking out the dagger, "I'm afraid he has someone else to pass it on to."

Just as he was talking, Beiming noticed something was wrong with the scabbard. He looked at Xi Jue and slapped the scabbard with his palm. As expected, he saw that there was a layer inside and a piece of bamboo fell out. The two of them studied it for a while, but did not study it.

When he came out, he ordered others to take it down with him, and then handed it back to King Yu for him to study on his own.

Xijue looked at Beiming and asked him: "When will you go back to the fourth girl?"

Beiming said: "Let Dongqing and the others go back first. The master will have a Zen session with Zen Master Kongyun in the past two days. I just happened to come back to see if there is anything I can bring back to Taohuajian for her."

Beiming didn't know that Dongqing and the others had been punished by Baili Mo just after they came back. Only then did these few people know that their master was injured.

Gu Qingyan wanted to say something nice, but was stopped by Zong Yue: "Don't worry, your third brother won't be punished too severely. Besides, this is an important place of Buddhism, and there won't be any blood."

It wasn't very serious, and it made sense for Zong Yue to stop him. After all, in the following days, he let Nanke command these people to collect herbs openly.

"If this continues, the back mountain will be plucked out by Dongqing and the others." Su Xin said to Gu Qingyan on the day Gu Qingyan came out from Zen.

"However, they still think about the master. Dongqing whispered that they met poisonous snakes in the mountains. They took the snake venom and fed a few poisonous insects to the insect Gu." After saying this, Su Xin took the brocade box to Gu Qing.

Smoke watching.

Gu Qingyan didn't know what to say. Did these people treat her carefully cultivated insect Gu as a pet? But thinking about it, it was obvious that these people had feelings for her. They just listened to Su Xin and her talking so quietly,
Chapter completed!
