Chapter 103 Jiang Rong
After parting with Luo Zu outside the restaurant, it was already past You hour, and the two of them were not in a hurry to find an inn to rest and prepare to go to the Duidou headquarters tomorrow morning.
Late at night, Qingyan was lying on the bed and tossing and turning.
Which force does the water ghost in Fengling Gorge belong to? It is certainly not easy for those who can know their route and water route. Such attempts to kill him are not only related to the Xichuan incident except the Emperor and the Prince of Pei.
The former is okay. He has ruined the other party’s good things several times, but if it weren’t for the Emperor and Prince Pei, it means that the Xichuan incident is definitely not simple. The mastermind behind this scene does not want to intervene in the middle. Even if he cannot kill himself, he must do his best to slow down the speed of advancing westward.
Wu Fangzi and Lin Jialuo are both suspicious. The former may be guilty of being a thief, while the latter is not impossible. If Lin Jialuo used a bitter plan to annex the Qingcheng Sect, it would make sense.
"It's difficult. No matter where you go, you will always involve the interests of all parties and make you fall into trouble. Master, as you experience more, the more you admire you, the more you admire you."
At this time, Qingyan suddenly felt an abnormal noise outside the window next door. When he walked to the window lightly, he found that a man in black had already turned into Shangguan Feiyan's house.
"court death!"
Qingyan jumped over under his feet, and then the man in black fell into the room.
The two of them did not hesitate at all, and at the moment they landed, they had already shown their weapons to attack each other.
I saw a thin short sword used by the other party, and every time I made a move, it would reflect a cold and cold light. Qingyan was not polite, thinking that the person who entered Shangguan Feiyan's room in this way was naturally not an idiot. The Qingluan sword was like a willow branch swaying in the wind, slashing towards the man in black.
"stop!"
Shangguan Feiyan had already discovered the abnormality and anxiously stopped the two of them. After seeing them stand apart, she quickly lit the candlelight.
"Feiyan, are you okay? I saw this man sneaking in just now. It must be a bad intention. You and I will work together to take him down." Qing Yan slowly walked to Shangguan Feiyan's side.
"What are you going to take? He is the Guyu Captain from Fengmanlou." Shangguan Feiyan looked helpless.
At this time, the man in black took off the black scarf and exposed the face of an ordinary man, stepped forward and bowed, "Huo Chen, the commander of the Guyu in Beizhi, met His Highness the Prince. He thought you were an assassin just now, so he offended you. I hope Your Highness will forgive you."
Qing Yan breathed a sigh of relief and was also a little embarrassed, "We don't have to be too polite. This prince was in a hurry and didn't ask questions. Fortunately, you and I are fine, otherwise it would be a big flood that has washed away the Dragon King Temple."
After the few people sat down, the awkward atmosphere eased a lot.
Shangguan Feiyan said in confusion: "Didn't you agree to come to find me again tomorrow? Why did Brother Huo come early?"
"Because the situation is urgent, I have to come to the city to find you overnight." Huo Chen replied in a deep voice: "I received a report at dusk today, and another hall master died. The head was thrown in front of the gate of the headquarters of the Duizhu."
Qingyan's heart tightened, "Is the news true? Is it sure that it is the master of Dui Duo?"
Huo Chen replied respectfully: "Report to your Highness, he is indeed a hall master of Duidu. This news must have spread throughout the Xichuan River at an extremely fast speed. By then, Jiang Rong will definitely lead people to attack the mountain regardless of everything."
"If this is the case, then there will be no turning back. Huo Duwei, how many people are there in Xichuan?"
"Report to Your Highness, I don't know what Feng Manlou's power is in Xichuan. Except for the dozens of people under Weizhi, I don't know anything else." Huo Chen immediately explained: "Your Highness, don't misunderstand. The Marquis has already stated that Bei Zhi does its best to support your actions in Xichuan, but the twenty-fourth commanders of Feng Manlou all have their own duties and no jurisdiction. Even the few commanders of Xichuan are in their knowledge."
Shangguan Feiyan was afraid of Qingyan's misunderstanding and agreed: "Don't be irresistible. This is the rule that my father has set since he founded Fengmanlou, so as to avoid being restrained or betrayed others behind enemy lines."
Qing Yan smiled slightly, "Don't worry, I still have this brain. Since that's the case, Captain Huo will work hard to find out the movements of Qingcheng Mountain and Dui Dui. If there is any change, please notify the prince as soon as possible."
Huo Chen stood up and said respectfully: "I am responsible for my duties."
After seeing Huo Chen off, Qingyan was embarrassed to stay in the girl's room, so he wanted to go back along the window.
"Are you worried about my safety just now?" Shangguan Feiyan asked softly behind her.
Qingyan looked back with a puzzled look on his face, "Of course I'm worried about your safety, otherwise why would I climb into your room like a flower-picking thief?"
Shangguan Feiyan blushed and urged: "Go away quickly and leave quickly! I can't spit out ivory in her mouth after two sentences."
With his back against the window, Shangguan Feiyan took a long time to calm down the turmoil in Lan's heart.
"Look at how merciless he took action just now..."
----------------------(I'm a dividing line)
The next morning, Qingyan and Shangguan Feiyan came outside the gate of Duidu Headquarters. The four disciples at the guard gate saw the man and woman walking straight towards him, and they felt a little nervous.
This is not because a few people have never seen the world, but because the Dui Dui has been in panic for a long time.
"People who come to report their identity."
This is the first time since Qingyan returned to Jinling that he was asked about his identity on a formal occasion. He pondered for a moment and smiled on his face.
"Zhao Qingyan, the Northern Palace!"
Several disciples did not know the details, but saw that although they were young and powerful, they signaled each other and went into the mansion to report.
"Please follow the villain to wait in front of the hall first. If the helm leader or elder agrees to meet, he will move to the front hall."
The tea in Duidu is more than one level worse than the governor's mansion. Qingyan tasted it briefly and put down the tea bowl. "It seems that Wu Jianer in Master Wen's mansion is indeed a top-notch tea. Now I feel bored if I taste other tea soup."
"Everyone or thing is afraid of comparison. As long as you compare, you will distinguish the quality of the best tea soup. If you taste the beauty of the best tea soup, you will naturally be disdainful of the common tea, just like if you have Princess Nishang, you will never be able to see the rouge and vulgar powder." Shangguan Feiyan's tone was ridiculed.
Qingyan didn't know why the other party suddenly broke into him, but he thought that he almost hurt her colleague last night and made her feel unhappy.
At this time, a burly man walked into the hall, "I don't know if the prince's visit to Dui Dui Duo is wrong. Jiang Rong will accompany him here first!"
Qingyan and Shangguan Feiyan looked at each other, and both stood up and returned their greetings. Qingyan smiled and said, "I guess this hero is Master Jiang. Fortunately, I will be happy to meet. This prince is Shangguan Feiyan, the captain of Fengmanlou Xiaomandu."
"But Mr. Zongyun's beloved daughter? I didn't expect that the daughter of Ling Qianjin would become a big girl." Jiang Rong's tone was cheerful, making people feel as if they were bathed in spring breeze.
"Since the words of Jiang Duzhu, you not only know my father, but have seen me before? Why has my father never mentioned Jiang Duzhu?" Shangguan Feiyan was very confused.
"You two take your seat first, and then listen to Jiang's detailed instructions." After the few people sat down, Jiang Rong recalled: "That was fifteen years ago. The Marquis came to Xichuan to do business once. When he was passing through Chengdu, he fought with me because of some misunderstandings. He said that Jiang had only walked dozens of moves under the Marquis and was defeated."
Shangguan Feiyan was happy when she heard this, "It turns out that Master Jiang is the hero of Xichuan that Daddy mentioned. At that time, I kept asking about your identity, but Daddy did not say it clearly, but he would meet again if he was destined."
"I didn't expect that the Marquis could still remember Jiang, a defeated general, today. It was a great blessing in my life. After the fight between us, we drank until dawn. It was also at that time that the Marquis had a beloved daughter."
After knowing the whole story, Shangguan Feiyan did not ask more details and gave Qingyan a look, who understood. When he was about to speak, he saw a disciple of Duihe quickly walked to the hall: "Report to the master of the rudder, the master of the rudder sent a secret letter from Que Ling."
Jiang Rong was a little surprised when he heard the word "Que Ling". He then stood up and apologized and said, "You two are here to wait, and Jiang will come." When he walked to the disciple and opened the secret letter, Jiang Rong's expression on his face was very strange.
Sitting back in the hall, Jiang Rong suddenly asked, "Did Your Highness live in Fanning City?"
Hearing this, Qing Yan guessed the content of Zhu Jiumi's letter in his heart, and nodded and admitted, "Yes, this prince has lived in Fanning City for more than ten years."
"I didn't expect that Your Highness is still my Qingzhuzhong." Jiang Rong slapped the table and laughed loudly: "Since that's the case, we are brothers, Your Highness doesn't need to test anymore. He just told him what he had done to come to Xichuan this time. As long as Jiang can help, he will definitely do his best."
"It seems that Brother Zhu received the news that I went to Xichuan, so he used the Que Ling Feixin from the Qingzhu Gang." Qingyan said seriously: "Since Master Jiang is not seeing him, I will go straight to the point. I came to Xichuan this time to make the Duluo."
Jiang Rong pondered for a moment before saying, "Jiang knew what Your Highness is coming, but I forgive Jiang for putting his words on the surface. Is Your Highness the imperial envoy to the court or the elder who is Left the Duke?"
“There are both.”
"Although I am grateful, I forgive Jiang for not letting His Highness intervene in this dispute. During this period, Qingcheng Sect bullies me too deeply. If I cannot wash away Qingcheng Mountain, how can I comfort the spirit of the Lords in Heaven? It is absolutely impossible to stop with just a few words from the court."
Seeing the other party gritting his teeth when he mentioned the Qingcheng Sect, Qingyan also knew that this incident had a great impact on Jiang Rong, and explained: "Master Jiang does not need to worry too much. I am not asking Master Jiang to swallow this anger for the sake of the court, but to help Duizhu."
Jiang Rong's expression turned from yin to sunny when he heard this, "Is this true? Then this time I attacked the mountain and I would be like a tiger with wings. Lao Zhu said in the letter that the prince's martial arts are superb, and even if he fights with all his strength, he can only compete with each other."
"Brother Zhu is just a humble statement." Qing Yan smiled and said, "But Master Jiang still misunderstood. Although he did not ask Master Jiang to stop this time, he would not attack the mountain with Dui Du."
Jiang Rongqi said: "What does your highness mean? Why is Jiang becoming more confused the more he listens?"
"How to do it, you have to listen to what Master Jiang will say next." Qing Yan asked in a deep voice: "Please tell me everything that happened to Master Liu from the beginning of his first meeting with Master Liu to today."
