After going around seven times and eight times, using his mysterious body skills to throw off his pursuers, Zu An returned to the Pei Mansion.
He had just been interrupted by the mysterious swordsman, which prevented him from seeing his Da Manman. He wanted to try again.
Unfortunately, after what happened just now, patrols at the city lord's mansion have been stepped up, and there are guards everywhere.
In this situation, no matter how high your cultivation level is, it is impossible to sneak in quietly in broad daylight, unless you are a truly transparent person.
"Who is that swordsman?" Zu An cursed the mysterious man half to death, and at the same time began to wonder who he was.
At first he thought he was from the Pei family, but after alerting the guards, the other party also tried to avoid the guards, which made him deny this guess.
He's not from the Pei family. Why would someone with such a high level of cultivation be near Pei Mianman's residence?
Judging from what the other party said just now, it seems that he is protecting Damanman?
But I've never heard of Damanman mentioning such a person before.
At this moment, there was movement from the side door. Zhao Zhi was seen wrapped in a large cloak, which could hide his appearance, and then he boarded the carriage that was waiting there.
Han Fengqiu looked around warily, then picked up a bamboo hat, put it on his head, and drove away.
Zu An felt moved and followed them to a mansion a few miles away. It looked like it should be the mansion of a wealthy businessman in the city.
Although the residence is unprepossessing in appearance, it is heavily guarded and is obviously a secret stronghold of Prince Qi's palace here.
Not wanting to alert others, Zu An walked around to record the surrounding environment and then left quietly.
After returning to the hotel, he directly put on his gold medal eleven outfit and ran to Xiao Jianren's room.
After seeing him, Xiao Jianren breathed a sigh of relief: "Master Eleven, we have been worried since we haven't heard from you for so long."
After all, in the vast desert grassland before, he could not be seen at all, and it was not known whether he had reached Yunzhong City. Now he has a backbone.
"I came here in advance to investigate. I have found out that the Prince of Qi secretly came to Yunzhong County. I will tell you their stronghold. You send people to monitor there and come back to report if there is anything unusual." Zu
An reminded, "Han Fengqiu is here too. They are very vigilant. Don't get too close to alert the enemy."
"Understood, keeping track of these embroidered messengers is professional." Xiao Jianren looked solemn, patted his chest and assured, then looked at Zu An with admiring eyes, "My lord, it is really unfathomable, to find out such an important thing so quickly.
news."
Zu An's old face heated up. This was just a coincidence. However, seeing the admiring look in his eyes, he naturally would not explain: "There is another thing. Are there any well-known sword masters here in Yunzhong County?"
, reaching the level of a master."
Seeing that the other party did not take the discovery of Prince Qi seriously at all, Xiao Jianren thought to himself that the boss is indeed the boss, and his magnanimity is not comparable to that of these people.
After hearing the other party's inquiry, he hurriedly listed a few candidates, and then said: "Although they are considered masters of swordsmanship, they do not seem to have reached the level of masters. Could the person you are talking about come from outside?"
?”
Zu An felt moved and hurriedly described the man's appearance and recalled: "He seemed to have recited a poem, something called 'Today there is wine, today there is drunkenness, tomorrow's worries will come and tomorrow's worries', I don't know."
Is it the name of his swordsmanship or a catchphrase?"
Xiao Jianren's eyes lit up: "When you say this, my lord, I think of a person who seems to fit the description just now."
"Who?" It was about Da Manman, and Zu An was very curious.
"The third disciple of Jijiu, Sword Immortal Xiao Yao." Xiao Jianren replied.
"He is the third disciple of Jijiu?" Zu An never expected that it was related to Jijiu. When he was chatting with Jiang Luofu, Xie Daoyun and others in the back of the academy, he also heard a lot of news from them.
.
Jijiu has a total of twelve direct disciples, each of whom is a top expert in a certain field. For example, the eldest disciple is good at runes, Shen Xuzi is good at alchemy, and Black and White loves to play chess...
In addition to the few people I had met in the capital before, there were still some I had never seen before.
Among the remaining few people, some have confirmed identities and are in other places, such as the ten disciples who are proficient in military skills and are stationed at the border.
There are also some whose identities are mysterious. The outside world does not even know the origins of these people's names. They only know very little information about them. For example, the second disciple is a doctor, the sixth disciple is a painter, and the ninth disciple is a singer. But the specific information about these people, and even
Male or female, no one knows.
Apart from them, the third disciple is a special being. Everyone knows his name, Sword Immortal Xiao Yao, but no one knows where he is.
At least in the past twenty years, he has not returned to the college or even the capital. If there is any major event at the National College, he cannot be found, as if there is no such disciple from the beginning to the end of the ceremony.
At this time, Xiao Jianren said with a sigh on his face: "I think back then, the Sword Immortal Xiao Yao was amazingly talented. He reached the peak of the ninth rank at a young age. Everyone thought that he would be the youngest person in history to break through to the Grandmaster realm. Even
Ji Jiu has said that he is the most talented among all his disciples, and it is only natural that he will become a grand master in the future."
"Xiao Yao was also very high-spirited. He traveled to the ends of the world with a long sword and defeated all the heroes in the world. Because the war between the human race and the demon race ended not long ago, there were still many demon race remnants in the Great Zhou Dynasty, so he traveled around the world while slaying demons and demons.
.”
"But I don't know what happened later. He suddenly became extremely decadent, and his cultivation was also wasted a lot. He even publicly reprimanded him during the wine ceremony."
"In a fit of anger, he had a big quarrel with Jijiu, then left the back mountain of the college and never came back."
"Later, many people saw him all over the country. He no longer had the handsome and unrestrained image of a swordsman before. Instead, he indulged in drunkenness all day long. He even heard that he was bullied and beaten by some people from small sects.
I don’t know how to fight back.”
"No one seems to have seen him since."
"Some people think he is dead, some think he is useless, but everyone agrees that a rising star fell like this."
Zu An frowned when he heard this: "Then why did you say that the person I met would be Xiao Yao? After all, he was only at the ninth level back then. Not only did his realm fall, but everyone thought he was useless."
Xiao Jianren's voice suddenly became louder: "Because I don't believe he is really useless?"
Zu An: "???"
It's rare to see Xiao Jianren so excited. What's going on?
Xiao Jianren also realized that he was a little out of character. He took a deep breath and said: "Back then, before I was selected as the embroidery messenger, I was robbed and killed by bandits on the road. I was not good at studying at the time, and I was about to die in hell.
At that time, a swordsman in white passed by, and he easily solved the bandits."
"To this day, I still can't forget the magnificence of that sword." His eyes, which were a little cloudy due to myopia, now glowed with a strange light.
Zu An blinked and finally reacted: "So you are his fan?"
Although Xiao Jianren didn't understand what fans were, he roughly guessed what it meant, and said with some embarrassment: "Actually, I am an orphan and don't know my last name. It's just because I admired his style after meeting him.
From now on, I named myself Xiao."
Zu An didn't know what to say. He really didn't expect that he, who was usually calm and calm, would be so fanatical about chasing stars.
Xiao Jianren continued: "Later I joined Xiu Lou, and there were many things going on in the building, and we never met each other again. Until one day I learned that Xiao Yao had an accident, and I didn't believe that a person like him would die, so I went out of my way to investigate through various channels about him.
Information."
"It's a pity that he really seemed to have disappeared from the world later."
"It wasn't until a few years ago that I suddenly saw someone mentioning a mysterious alcoholic swordsman in some case files. Although the various descriptions were very different from the Xiao Yao I once had, for some reason, I always felt that it was him."
Xiao Jianren suddenly looked a little excited: "From what you just described, it more and more proves my guess. I wonder where you saw him? I also want to see him again..."
Seeing his star-chasing look, Zu An felt a little uncomfortable for a while. He casually dealt with it for a few words and then left and returned to his room.
Is that person really Xiao Yao, the third disciple who offered wine?
But how could Da Manman have anything to do with him?
As night fell, Sang Hong took Zu An, Gao Ying, Pei You and others to attend the dinner. Xiao Jianren and others were unable to attend due to their status as embroiderers, so they stayed to guard the hotel.
On the way, Sang Hong asked Zu An what he had gained in the afternoon. When he learned that the Crown Prince of Qi had also arrived, his expression changed slightly: "The King of Qi is really harboring evil intentions, and he was even willing to send Zhao Zhi here. He obviously has a very big intention."
Zu Anxin thought that we had made it clear that we were here to kill King Qi's wings, so it would be abnormal for him to remain indifferent.
Sang Hong said in a deep voice: "Azu, this trip to Yunzhong County is full of dangers. If we make a mistake in one step, we may be shattered to pieces."
Zu An said calmly: "It's just that the soldiers came to cover up the water and the earth."
Sang Hong was startled at first, and then laughed: "Haha, it turns out that the older you get, the less courageous you become. You are right, we are here with great momentum, and they should be the ones to be afraid of."
He admired Zu An more and more, thinking that it would be great for such a guy to be his son-in-law, and that he should let Qian'er develop a relationship with him more after returning home.
