Chapter 57 Shen Liancheng

When he arrived at Qingliang Temple, the monk from the door saw Luo Xiaoyao coming back and looked a little surprised. After greeting each other, Luo Xiaoyao asked, "My little master, have the two donors who were with me yesterday come to the temple?"

The monk from the head of the school shook his head, "No one else visited this morning except the donor."

Luo Xiaoyao was in a state of chaos, and rushed away. When he returned to the other courtyard, Manager Zhu, who was in the branch pavilion, was already waiting in the hall. Seeing that Luo Xiaoyao had only one person back, Manager Zhu, who was over 50 years old, frowned and said, "Young master, my subordinates have already arrived in the city to check the streets. Maybe Miss Xiao and Elder Gu..."

Luo Xiaoyao knew his words, shook his head and said in a silence: "If it were sunny, it would be possible. It had been raining from yesterday to this morning. With my junior sister's temperament, I would not have the intention to wander... Manager Zhu, have you ever made enemies with someone in this Jiangning Mansion?"

"This cabinet is in accordance with the rules set by the Pavilion Master, and never dares to speak out. My subordinates have been in the Jiangning Mansion for six years and have never made enemies with others." Manager Zhu shook his head and said, "This house is where the two elders Yan live. They are usually like hermits, and they will not argue with others."

Luo Xiaoyao then told Manager Zhu about the fight he saw on the road, and said, "At the beginning, I had fought with the guests and other figures of the army sent by the Southern Tang Dynasty in Jingnan, but with their martial arts, if they met unexpectedly, Elder Gu and my junior sister might not be able to escape, unless they were ambushed in advance."

Manager Zhu frowned, "The young master's inference is reasonable, if Miss Xiao and the others..."

At this time, two arrow guards in strong clothes rushed into the hall and said after seeing the ceremony: "I was ordered to check the downtown city in the city, but there was no trace of the ancient elders."

Manager Zhu nodded and signaled them to retreat. Luo Xiaoyao frowned and said, "It's nearly two hours before they go out. I think it's not just a stroll..."

After pausing for a moment, he thought about what happened on the Qinhuai River the day before yesterday. He was shocked and hurried to Manager Zhu: "Can you know who is the commander of the left wing of the Longwu Army of the Southern Tang Dynasty?"

Manager Zhu was stunned. He was in Jiangning Mansion for several years and operated the banking industry. He knew the identity of a noble official in the court, but he didn't know what Luo Xiaoyao meant. He heard this and said, "The Longwu Army is responsible for guarding the city defense of Jiangning Mansion and the palace. His commander's name is Liu Zhenyi... What does the young master mean?"

Luo Xiaoyao sighed in his heart, and said what happened on the boat in Qinzhunhe, and said, "It seems that this may be related to them..."

Manager Zhu has been in the world for a long time and nodded, "This son of Commander Liu is a famous playboy, and this person surnamed Liu is extremely protective..."

After a pause, he called out the Arrow Guard who accompanied Luo Xiaoyao and the other two to visit the day before yesterday, and said in a deep voice: "The boat that the young master rode on the river the day before yesterday was what you were looking for?"

The Arrow Guard saw Manager Zhu's serious expression and felt nervous, and replied: "It's... what the subordinates are looking for."

Manager Zhu asked, "Do you know Zhouzi? Does he know the house?"

During the question, his tone became more and more severe. The Arrow Guard knew that Gu and Xiao had not returned for a long time, and he was afraid that it was related to this matter. When he saw Manager Zhu glaring at him, he couldn't help but bow his head and said, "That Zhouzi is a young relative..." Before he finished speaking, Manager Zhu kicked him down.

"This place is still a place where the elders live in seclusion. The pavilion stipulates that those who accompany you must not disclose your own actions in this house with relatives and friends. You are brave enough. Come on..." Manager Zhu was furious: "Take him to the place where Zhouzi lives and see if it was the boatzi leading people to this house?"

Immediately, two arrow guards obeyed the order, helped the fallen arrow guards up, and ran out of the house together. Looking at Luo Xiaoyao, Manager Zhu looked ashamed: "The subordinates are not strict in their management, please punish the young master."

"This matter has nothing to do with the management... Can the management know if there are any famous masters in the Longwu Army?"

"The left and right wings of the Dragon Martial Army were ruled by King Li Hongyi of Yan. They are not only responsible for siegeing cities and plundering villages, but also have the responsibility to protect the palace and royal palace, just like the imperial guards of the Great Zhou, Khitan and other dynasties. If there are many masters in the army."

"The most famous martial arts scholar, the Jiangnan area... is Xiang Xiaotian, the "angry sword" that is as famous as Mu Daocheng, Yunzhou's "cold sword", and his eldest disciple is Chen Liancheng. He heard that he has entered the realm of the great success of the elixir." Speaking of this, Manager Zhu suddenly raised his eyebrows, "It must be like this..."

Luo Xiaoyao was puzzled for a moment, but listened to Manager Zhu and continued: "This Chen Liancheng was with Liu Yanzhen, the commander-in-chief of the Shenwu Army, and his wife was the sister of Commander Liu..."

"The manager said that Mr. Liu on the boat was Chen Liancheng's nephew... Then could Chen Liancheng be in this capital?"

But as Manager Zhu said, if you meet Chen Liancheng, who is in his arms, the two of you will find it difficult to escape.

"The Shenwu Army is stationed outside, and Chen Liancheng is with Liu Yanzhen, or is not in the capital... However, his junior brother Gu Yanchun is a guest minister in the Longwu Army."

"Gu Yanchun?" Luo Xiaoyao remembered the person who fought with him at Gao Congyi Mansion, but thought that he had only achieved great spiritual enlightenment, which was comparable to Gu Hengshan. If there were many people and people surrounding him, with Gu Hengshan's bloodline, he would definitely fight to protect Xiao Muyun, and there was no blood on the ground in the fight. He guessed that it was the one who was a master of the Dan Realm, so he asked: "How many disciples do this "angry sword" Xiang Xiaotian have? How many of their cultivation are they?"

"Xiang Xiaotian has been famous for a long time. Because of his irritable personality in his early years, he drew his sword to face him. He was called "Rage Sword". However, after he had a daughter, his temperament changed a lot. He retired to the world more than ten years ago. Logically speaking, he only had two disciples, the eldest disciple Chen Liancheng and the second disciple Ji Jinghai."

"Ji Jinghai heard that more than ten times ago were already in the realm of divine thoughts, and his literary talent was very talented, and he was quite famous in Jiangnan. However, after the retirement of "Angry Sword", he did not know where he was. And Gu Yanchun's martial arts was taught by Chen Liancheng on behalf of his master, and now he has reached the realm of divine thoughts."

Luo Xiaoyao was in Gao Congyi's mansion, and from the moves of the people who fought, it was obvious that it was the "Liu Ren" sword technique that became famous for the "angry sword". At this time, after hearing what Zhu Guanshi said, he guessed that the person he fought with should be Gu Yanchun, and he thought about it for a moment and said, "In this way, I think that Mr. Liu was taught by my junior sister, and was determined to take revenge, and was following and setting up an ambush... Is there a familiar figure in the Longwu Army in the manager?"

Manager Zhu nodded, "I recognize some, but they are all small leaders..."

At this time, the three arrow guards had already rushed back. The arrow guards who led Luo Xiaoyao and the other two to Qin Zhunhe the day before yesterday, "Putong" knelt down and said tremblingly: "I deserve to die, that... That Zhouzi was forced to tell this house the night before..." The voice became lower and lower.

Luo Xiaoyao and Zhu looked at each other and thought that they had guessed right just now. Zhu knew that he had no help in the blame at this time, so he snorted coldly, "If Miss Xiao and Elder Gu have lost something, your ten lives will not be worthy of it. Did you ever know your identity in the pavilion and that Zhouzi?"

The arc guard looked pale and lowered his head, "I haven't said this. Because his subordinates often send Yinliang to their parents at home, they accidentally informed him of their place of residence..."

"Young master, it is not advisable to live here anymore. There should be hidden eyeliners outside...." Manager Zhu paused for a moment, looked at the arc guard who was kneeling on the ground and said, "Get up, this time you have a mistake, and you will be punished later... You go out to the house and go to the inn to deal with it. Afterwards, you can take the initiative to go to the Inn in the Outer City to stand by. Be careful not to be followed."

Tongbao Pavilion has a very meticulous layout and has opened an inn in the outer city of Jiangning Prefecture to serve as a way to retreat. After several arrow guards took the order and left, Manager Zhu found a cape with Luo Xiaoyao. It was raining, so it was normal to wear a cloak. Luo Xiaoyao knew his intention, so he took the cloak and put it on, covering his head and leaving the courtyard with Manager Zhu.

***

As Luo Xiaoyao expected, Xiao Muyun and Gu Hengshan did fall into Gu Yanchun's hands.

When Xiao Muyun woke up, he learned that Luo Xiaoyao had gone to Qingliang Temple, so he and Gu Hengshan left the house and went to Qingliang Temple.

When the two walked to the section six or seven miles away from Qingliang Mountain, they heard a sound of horse hooves behind. At that time, the ground was filled with water. Xiao Muyun and Gu Hengshan hid on the side with umbrellas, but they saw two riders galloping past and turned their heads to block the way. One of them was a big man with a beard holding a double hammer, and the other was a man in the green robe who was about 40 years old with a long sword on his back, but he was a man who fought in Gao Congyi's mansion that day.

Gu Hengshan was shocked and turned around and looked back. He was riding slowly over ten feet behind him. He was riding a man in his fifties, wearing a cloak and a clear-faced man. Seeing Gu Hengshan stop, he jumped off his horse and walked slowly over. On such a muddy road, there was no mud on his boots.

This person is Shen Liancheng, the eldest disciple of "Anger Sword". Gu Hengshan didn't know it, but he couldn't see through the cultivation of this calm man. When he knew something was wrong, he whispered to Xiao Muyun: "If you can escape, run away..." After saying that, he threw away the oil umbrella in his hand, raised his stick and swept across the two people in front of him. The person who blocked the way forward was Gu Yanchun and his sworn brother Lei Jiao.

Lei Jiao was swept by Gu Hengshan in Gao Congyi's mansion that day and was seriously injured in Gu Hengshan. Fortunately, he was also good at physical strength. In addition, as a guest in the Longwu Army, it is naturally easy to get the medicinal materials for replenishing qi and nourishing blood. After resting for nearly twenty days, he had just recovered. Now he has a narrow road with Gu Hengshan. Seeing Gu Hengshan sweeping over Gu Hengshan, he shouted loudly and swung his hammer to meet him. The two immediately started fighting.

Xiao Muyun also pulled out the "Shock Armor" and attacked Gu Yanchun with one move of Taisu sword technique. Gu Yanchun knew that her sword technique was exquisite, so he used the sword technique taught by the master's sect to use the sword technique. The so-called "Sheng" character score, the essence is in the word "Sheng". You can rely on your own energy to surpass the other party, making the opponent's sword moves slow to change, so that you can see the flaws and succeed in one blow.

Xiao Muyun was very talented. When the two of them had a sword energy intersected, they already felt the stickiness in Gu Yanchun's sword energy. They closed their momentum and took a step back. Then they used the "Yinque Dew Down" of Yueshuang Sword Technique. They slashed down with one sword. "Jingjia" was originally a sword and a sword. When this move was in a sharp way, they changed the stabbing to a slash, which naturally reduced the stalemate between "Jingjia" and the sword in Gu Yanchun's hand.

Gu Yanchun let out a "huh" sound, and used the "Liu Ren" sword technique to break through the "Shock Armor" sword intent. The sword force did not change, and he still stabbed Xiao Muyun's right wrist holding the sword. Because of her cultivation level, she could achieve "one force to break ten thousand tricks".

Xiao Muyun was startled, and the toes were splashing on the ground. His body retreated quickly. After standing still, he adjusted his breath and shouted softly. "A thousand hairs of jade plate" and "Looking at the beginning of the moon" changed one after another. Gu Yanchun saw the white and white flashes in front of him, and the virtual and real alternating, and shouted "Good sword technique". His aura suddenly increased. He hit him with a sword, and "double" sounded, and the two swords intertwined. Xiao Muyun felt a shock in his hand. "Shock Armor" was about to get out of his hand. He knew that the difference in his skills was too great, so he hurriedly retreated, but retreated to Chen Liancheng.

Chen Liancheng smiled and said to Gu Yanchun: "Capture that man and fight quickly."

He turned to Xiao Muyun and smiled and said, "Who is Senior Mu Daocheng? What is the relationship between Hengshan "Qingxin Temple" and you?"

He could see her origin from Xiao Muyun's skills. Xiao Muyun did not answer. He used the "Three Muyun Styles" in one move. The sword light rippled, and the stars changed. The sword energy hit Chen Liancheng's whole body. With Chen Liancheng's realm, he could not see the flaws in the sword technique. His heart trembled and he used the energy to protect his whole body. His cultivation level was higher than Xiao Muyun's two major realms, so he did not dodge.

Xiao Muyun felt that "Shock Armor" seemed to be stabbing on the copper wall, one foot in front of Chen Liancheng, the sword blade turned around. He heard Chen Liancheng say "Good Sword Technique", and then he felt a stream of aura coming from "Shock Armor". The sword blade shook again, and his body was shocked, and the energy rebounded and retreated. When he couldn't stand, Chen Liancheng chuckled and floated to his side, holding the right wrist of the sword. Xiao Muyun suddenly lost all his energy, and was pulled up by Chen Liancheng, and stood up.

He heard a "click" sound from behind him. He looked up and saw that when Gu Hengshan swept the willow tree with a stick, he was kicked in the back by the bearded man and staggered forward and rushed towards another willow tree. Before he could stand firm, Gu Yanchun held his sword against his neck.

Gu Hengshan turned around slowly, but when he saw Xiao Muyun being restrained, he sighed, looked at the tip of the sword that pressed against his neck, and said to Gu Yanchun: "I guess you are people from the Southern Tang Dynasty..."

Gu Yanchun didn't know what was going on for a moment, frowned and looked at Chen Liancheng. But when he saw Chen Liancheng nodding, Gu Yanchun said, "So what, so what, no?"

"I will listen to Zun if I want to kill and cut, but if my lady is injured, I'm afraid you can't afford it..."

Gu Hengshan was naturally not afraid of death, but Xiao Muyun could never die. He had been through the world for a long time, and both Xiao Muyun were restrained at this time, and life and death were all in the opponent's thoughts, so he spoke in a way that both soft and hard way.

Before Gu Yanchun answered, he heard Chen Liancheng laugh and said, "Okay, okay, Chen wants to hear the origin of the two of you, but this is not a place to speak, haha... Junior brother, control his aura and take it back to the Xingyao to talk." After speaking, he held Xiao Muyun's right hand and walked quickly. Although Xiao Muyun's aura was controlled, he felt a soft force holding his whole body, pulling his body to move quickly with Chen Liancheng.

When Chen Liancheng saw Xiao Muyun using Mu Daocheng's sword skills, he was naturally afraid. Of course, he was not only afraid of Mu Daocheng's martial arts cultivation, but also because he had a disciple of the royal relative Xiao Yanbei. He came here in person this time, and originally wanted to capture Luo Xiaoyao and the other two alive and find out their origins. As for whether to kill or not, it was not something that Chen Liancheng could decide.

It turned out that at the hour of the night before yesterday, Liu Zhenyi, the commander of the left wing of the Longwu Army, was drinking tea with his visiting brother-in-law Chen Liancheng in the hall of the mansion. However, when he saw his son returning with a swollen face, he was furious. He was arrogant and did not allow his son to be beaten, so he sent someone to find Luo Xiaoyao's place to stay.

At that time, Gu Yanchun also accompanied his senior brother Chen Liancheng. When he heard the guards who followed Mr. Liu to tell the story of the incident, he asked about the appearance of Luo Xiaoyao and others in detail. He felt that he was a person who fought with him in Gao Congyi Mansion. After the words in Gao Congyi Mansion in Jingnan, he said: "These three must be related to the Gao family in Jingnan. This time, when we came to our Tang Dynasty, we may have some plans. We should think of capturing them and ask what happened..."

Gu Yanchun went to Jingnan to assist Gao Congyi in rebellion, which was sent by Liu Zhenyi following the order of the Crown Prince Li Jingsui.

After hearing Gu Yanchun's words, Liu Zhenyi said to Chen Liancheng: "If it is true that the three people are as Mr. Gu said, they should be captured alive. If their purpose is related to the court, the Times and the Crown Brother know that if they come to my Tang Dynasty, they will be killed... Brother-in-law, what do you think?"

Chen Liancheng pondered briefly when he heard this: "Zhen Yi's consideration is reasonable. I will make a decision after finding out where these three people are.

But the soldiers who found Luo Xiaoyao's place did not find the boat in the middle of the night on the second day. It turned out that the boat was over thirty years old and his family lived in the outer city. If they had not returned home, they would stay on the boat, but they were also willing to bet. They sent Luo Xiaoyao and others a trip, and the rewards were several times more than usual. They were very happy. After Luo Xiaoyao got ashore, they also put the boat to the gambling house. They bet until dawn and won a lot of silver. They checked in the gambling house to rest. After waking up, they saw heavy rain in the world, and they started gambling again until they lost all their money. In annoyance, they returned to the boat boat in the rain and were beaten by the soldiers guarding the boat, and they also told Luo Xiaoyao where he lived.

It was already midnight and it was raining heavily. The soldiers who were inquiring about the news waited until dawn to report the news to Chen Liancheng and others. Chen Liancheng took Gu and Lei to the house where Luo Xiaoyao was settled. The eyeliner that was secretly staring at was the guards who were trapped in the water by Xiao Muyun. When Chen Liancheng arrived, he told Luo Xiaoyao and Gu that Xiao left one after another and headed towards Qingliang Mountain. With the martial arts of these guards, they did not dare to follow them.

Chen Liancheng and the other two rode their horses to catch Gu and Xiao, but after seeing Xiao Muyun's sword skills, they felt scruples, so they gave up the idea of ​​going to the other courtyard to attack Luo Xiaoyao, and wanted to find out Xiao Muyun's identity before making a decision. Luo Xiaoyao can also be used as bait, and it is unknown that big people may be pulled out behind them.

He brought Xiao and Gu to the east hall of the Longwu Army Office. Chen Liancheng asked Xiao and Gu to sit down. He pulled out the "shock armor" in his hand and looked at it. He touched the sword blade with his hand and bounced it. But when he heard the echo of the light sound, he nodded and smiled at Xiao Muyun: "It's both a sword and a sword, you can bend and stretch, and you're a weapon. I guess it was carefully prepared by Senior Mu for the girl?"

Xiao Muyun heard Chen Liancheng say the master Mu Daocheng over and over again, and knew that he was quite afraid of his master. If he directly revealed his identity, things might turn around, he smiled and said, "What the senior said is right. This sword is offered by my master's servant."

This "Shocking Armor" was actually offered by Gao Ruoyu. He used the topic of Chen Liancheng to lie, but also derogated the identity of the Gao family.

"Master Master?" Chen Liancheng was shocked and asked again: "Who is surnamed Ma, or Xiao? Or..." He knew the identities of Mu Daocheng's three disciples, and Xiao Muyun called Mu Daocheng the master master, and he must be the son of Ma Xingkong, Xiao Yanbei and Zhuo Wu.

"My father is the chief military chief of the Great Liao South Court..."

Even though Chen Liancheng was prepared, he was shocked when he heard Xiao Muyun reveal his identity. However, he was extremely cunning and naturally he would not show his emotions. He said, "Oh? The girl is the daughter of Xiao Dutong? This is something that Chen could never imagine. However, after hearing what Chen Junior Brother said, Miss Xiao seemed to be in Jingnan..."

"Yes, I went to Jingnan by my father's order." Xiao Muyun smiled, but didn't say what was going to Jingnan. This was exactly her cleverness. Taking advantage of Chen Liancheng's fearful mentality, he left half of it.

Chen Liancheng pondered for a moment when he heard this, and smiled and said, "What did that girl come to Jiangning Mansion? Can you tell me about it?" His tone had become calmer.

"My father was sent to the Tang Dynasty, so I came to Jiangning Mansion to find him..." After pausing, he looked at Gu Yanchun who was sitting opposite him, smiled, and said, "But unexpectedly, he was brought here by his senior."

Gu Yanchun was speculating in her heart that Xiao Muyun was going to Jingnan to win over the Gao family, but when she saw her smiling, she even believed that what she guessed was correct, and she couldn't help but look at Chen Liancheng.

Chen Liancheng guessed that Gu Yanchun had something to say, so he smiled and said, "It turns out that Miss Xiao is here to meet Xiao Dutong. Unfortunately, the president Xiao has returned to Yunzhou a few days ago... If Miss Xiao goes back, there is still a chaotic Central Plains in the middle. Chen is worried, so he asks Miss Xiao to rest in this yamen for a few days and wait for Chen to quickly whip to inform Xiao Dutong to pick up the girl. How about it?"

Before Xiao Muyun could answer, he turned to Gu Yanchun and said, "Junior brother, take Miss Xiao and his master and servant down first, arrange for the rest of the side courtyard and pavilion, and ask someone to take good care of it, and do not neglect it."

At this time, he also thought Gu Hengshan was Xiao Muyun's attendant, and after that, he stood up and headed to the atrium conference hall.

In the conference hall, Liu Zhenyi saw Chen Liancheng coming in, hurriedly got up to welcome him, and after he stepped back, he asked, "Brother-in-law, what are these two people?"

Chen Liancheng smiled bitterly and said, "That girl said that she is the daughter of Xiao Yanbei, the chief military chief of the Liao Dynasty's Southern Court."

"Ah?" Liu Zhenyi couldn't help but take a breath. This was something he unexpectedly had. Xiao Yanbei came to the Southern Tang Dynasty. His travel safety in the Southern Tang Dynasty was protected by the Longwu Army. Liu Zhenyi also knew Xiao Yanbei. He was frightened and hesitated a little: "Can that girl lie?"

"With her martial arts sword intent, she was young, if she had not personally taught her, she would never have had such an achievement..." Chen Liancheng shook his head and said, "And she also said that she came to Tang Dynasty to meet with her father Xiao Yanbei."
