When he saw those figures shooting with arrows, Li Huan understood why these people were not killed, but were hiding in the dark and waiting for opportunities.

Yue Buqun was obviously not an easy person. Li Huan could tell that there were a few fewer people among them. Yue Buqun had been hunted for many days, so it was natural that he would not miss the change.

Although Yue Buqun, who had always been secretly on guard, did not expect that the opponent would fire arrows, he did not panic in the face of such an unexpected incident. The sword flashed and filled the sky with sword light. Along with a clanking sound, several arrows were fired.

All the arrows were blocked by Yue Buqun.

However, Yue Buqun was distracted and blocked the arrow, which gave the men who attacked him a chance. He saw that the leader's sword was sharp and struck directly at Yue Buqun's heart.

On an iron bridge, Yue Buqun raised his long sword and lifted the blade that was aimed at his heart. At the same time, he swayed, stepped on the tree trunk, and used his strength to directly attack one of the archers.

"careful!"

The leading man couldn't help shouting when he saw this, and at the same time he flew towards Yue Buqun in an attempt to prevent Yue Buqun from attacking and killing the archer.

It was just that Yue Buqun was obviously one step ahead of the big man. With a muffled grunt, a sharp sword light passed directly across the archer's neck, and then he blocked the big man's angry blow with his backhand sword.

With the force of the counter-shock coming from the long sword, Yue Buqun swayed, holding a sword flower, standing tall and staring at the people who surrounded him again: "Yue said, you three

It's simply ridiculous to be secretive and unwilling to reveal what you have learned, and to want to surround and kill Yue."

In fact, from the beginning, Yue Buqun Office clearly realized that the real threat to him among these people was three of them.

It's just that none of the three people performed the kung fu they were best at, and they obviously didn't want to expose their identities. Originally, the three of them might have posed some threat to Yue Buqun if they used their knowledge. However, under such timidity, Yue Buqun was actually

Buqun took the opportunity to kill several of his companions.

After hearing Yue Buqun's words, everyone looked at the leader, especially two of them, who clenched their weapons and stared at Yue Buqun fiercely.

The leader pondered for a while, glanced at Yue Buqun, and suddenly shouted: "Let's go!"

Obviously, this man's decision was somewhat beyond the expectations of his companions. All of them were stunned for a moment and looked at that man.

The leader snorted coldly and said: "Even if we try our best, we may not be able to save Yue Buqun, and we may even risk the lives of more brothers. In this case, it is better to stop here!"

Li Huan couldn't help but nodded secretly after hearing this. Obviously, the leader was not stimulated to lose his mind by Yue Buqun's words and made the most correct choice.

If Yue Buqun was not sure, how could he have said that? Wasn't he afraid that the other party would use all his strength to deal with him regardless of exposing his identity?

Li Huan looked at Yue Buqun, and as expected, when Yue Buqun heard the leader's decision, there was a look of disappointment in his eyes.

It can be seen that the leader has a high prestige among those people. Although some people are quite unwilling to do so, they only hesitated a little before taking the bodies of the two companions killed by Yue Buqun and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Go away.

Yue Buqun never tried to stop the other party from the beginning to the end. Although he also wanted to know the identity and origin of these people, it was obvious that he could not force the other party to use the skills he had become famous for without forcing the other party to fight hard.

But by forcing the other party to fight hard, he also had to bear great risks. Without complete assurance, when these people chose to give up on their own initiative, Yue Buqun also chose not to take action and allowed the other party to leave.

A faint smell of blood filled the air, and the forest was quiet. Through the moonlight, it could be seen that Yue Buqun was still holding the hilt of the sword tightly with one hand, and it was obvious that he had not relaxed his vigilance.

Suddenly, Yue Buqun cast his eyes in the direction of Li Huan and said, "Your Majesty, you have been watching for a long time. I don't know what you want to do."

Li Huan did not deliberately hide his figure, so it was not surprising that he was discovered by Yue Buqun. Even in Li Huan's opinion, that group of people may have noticed his existence and finally chose to give up dealing with Yue Buqun.

I don't know his true identity, so I feel scared.

Two parties are fighting, and a third party suddenly appears. Without knowing the details of the third party, it is obviously difficult to continue the fight.

Li Huan said calmly: "You are disturbing others' dreams, why don't you allow Li to come over and take a look?"

Yue Buqun couldn't help but hesitate in his words, took a deep breath, cupped his hands in the direction of Li Huan and said, "So Yue apologizes to you, please forgive me."

Li Huan came up. Although he now knew Yue Buqun's identity, he still didn't want him to take the initiative to see Yue Buqun.

As the saying goes, if we are destined to meet each other, we will meet each other, but Li Huan felt that his fate with Yue Buqun should not end there.

After looking at Yue Buqun, Li Huan turned and left.

After Li Huan left, Yue Buqun appeared in the place where Li Huan was standing. He looked in the direction where Li Huan left. Through the dense forest, he vaguely saw a figure surrounded by people.

Leave.

"It's the team of Jin Yiwei we met during the day!"

Originally, he was curious about Li Huan's identity, but now he realized that Li Huan was probably the leader of the group of royal guards he had seen earlier. Yue Buqun naturally gave up the idea of ​​finding out Li Huan's identity.

Although he is not afraid of the Jin Yiwei, it does not mean that the Huashan Sect is not afraid. If he really brought trouble to Huashan because of his curiosity, then he would not be able to redeem himself.

Whether it was Li Huan or Yue Buqun, they just looked at each other from a distance, and neither of them really met each other. They just passed each other like passers-by in the mountains and forests.

Yue Buqun watched Li Huan and others disappear into the distance, then sheathed his sword, identified the direction, and immediately used Qinggong and body skills to run towards Fujian.

Minqing County, Fuzhou Prefecture, Fujian

Amidst the green mountains and green waters, you can see a mansion covering an extremely large area located among the mountains and forests.

Green mountains, green waters, and mountains and forests make this mansion even more extraordinary.

Anyone with some knowledge in Minqing County knows that this mansion is the residence of Cai Wen, the third-rank official in charge of the judiciary of Fujian Province.

During Cai Wen's more than ten years in Fujian, he went from being a seventh-rank official to the high position of being a prisoner and an inspector in just ten years. His promotion speed was astonishing.

After more than ten years of hard work, Cai Wen's family has completely taken root in Fujian, and this mansion is where the Cai family's mansion in Fujian is located.

Cai Wen has an old mother, more than a dozen children, and two brothers. The total number of people in the family is twenty or thirty, plus servants, guards, etc., at least hundreds of people live here.

Between a bunch of mansions.

On this day, between a pavilion, two figures were sitting opposite each other. Cai Wen frowned and said, "Gongya, tell me, did that little beast Li Huan get anything from Cheng Yi?" Am I waiting for evidence of guilt?"

Sun Wei looked at Cai Wen with a wry smile on his face.

In fact, a few months ago, when his cousin, Sun Xiang, sent someone to summon him, Sun Wei was stunned when he saw the news from Sun Xiang.

Because in the news sent back by Sun Xiang, it was mentioned that his master's tutor and the biggest backer in the court, Ge Lao Xie Qian, had been dismissed.

Sun Wei knew what this meant. With Xie Qian being dismissed, the direct consequence was that Cai Wen's hope of promotion was cut off.

Fortunately, Sun Xiang told them in his letter that he had found another backer for Cai Wen in Beijing, and it was Li Huan, the emperor's lucky minister.

At that time, Sun Wei was still not sure whether the Li Huan in Sun Xiang's letter was the Li Huan he thought. However, when he saw that Sun Xiang introduced Li Huan's origin in the letter in great detail, Sun Wei was dumbfounded at the time. Already.

In fact, not only Sun Wei but also Cai Wen was filled with disbelief after hearing Sun Wei tell Li Huan's situation in detail.

Sun Wei was personally responsible for the plot to seize Langqi Island, and even Cai Wen didn't know the details.

After listening to Sun Wei's detailed explanation, Cai Wen realized that Sun Xiang was the new backer they were looking for in the capital, and that Li Huan actually had such a connection with them.

It can be said that when Cai Wen and Sun Wei received the letter, their hearts sank into the abyss.

They had a grudge against Li Huan for killing his father, so they couldn't help but worry.

He had been in such panic for nearly a month, fearing that an imperial edict would be issued and Cai Wen would be summoned to Beijing.

Even Cai Wen and the others were prepared for the worst.

However, after a month or two passed, Sun Xiang wrote to them regularly as always, and even told them in the letter that Li Huan had agreed to help Cai Wen make suggestions to the emperor.

At this point, Cai Wen and Sun Wei finally let go of their hearts.

In their opinion, Li Huan must not have known that they were planning Langqi Island at that time, and their suspicion that Cheng Yi had taken away evidence of their crimes was unfounded.

After thinking about this, Cai Wen and Sun Wei said that it was unbelievable that they would one day ask someone who had a huge grudge against them, but in order to climb up, in order to one day be able to become the leader of the First Department, they What's wrong with giving gold and silver to your enemies!

Cai Wen even ordered Sun Wei not to tell Sun Xiang in the capital about their grudge against Li Huan, lest Sun Xiang become unnatural in front of Li Huan and reveal some flaws.

Two months ago, Cai Wen even sent someone to send Sun Xiang a hundred thousand taels of silver notes, asking Sun Xiang to establish relations with Li Huan and strive to be transferred to the capital as soon as possible.

But just over a month ago, their contact with the capital was suddenly cut off. There was no news from either Sun Xiang or Cai Changgui.

The accompanying imperial newspaper even published that the emperor appointed Li Huan, the Imperial Guard, and Wang Yangming, the supervisory censor, as the chief and deputy imperial envoys to go to Fujian to thoroughly investigate the case of the Han Ling family of thousands of Jinyi Guards.

From that moment on, Cai Wen and Sun Wei had a vague feeling in their hearts, secretly guessing that they had thought things too simply, and that Li Huan might not be as useless as they thought. Known.

Sighing slightly, Sun Wei said: "Sir, regardless of whether Li Huan has obtained evidence of your crime or not, or whether he knows about our plot to seize his Li family's inheritance, now that my brother and the others suddenly have no news, this is a

This is an extremely bad signal, and we must be fully prepared to prepare for the worst."

Cai Wen nodded slightly, and said with a hint of coldness between his brows: "You are right, Li Huan is here because he is coming here with bad intentions, especially under the pretext of thoroughly investigating Han Ling's murder case. Once he is caught by him,

If we find any clues, I'm afraid we won't be able to escape."

Sun Wei took a deep breath and said: "My lord, you have always been calm in the face of big events. If Li Huan were in the capital, we would really not be able to fight him, but don't forget that Fujian is our territory."

Stroking his beard, a chill flashed through Cai Wen's eyes and he said, "You are right, the mighty dragon can't overpower the local snakes. I really don't believe that Li Huan can stir up any trouble in my territory."

While speaking, Cai Wen glanced at Sun Wei and said, "Immediately send someone with my name card to invite Chief Gu to come, saying that I have important matters to discuss with you."

Gu Huang is the chief envoy, Zuo Buzheng, among the three divisions. He can be said to be the chief official of civil affairs in Fujian Province. Although there are two chief envoys, the left and right chiefs, it is obvious that the left chief has slightly more power than the right chief.

As the chief minister of Fujian, it is not an exaggeration to say that Gu Huang was the first person in civil affairs in Fujian.

Compared with Cai Wen, the procurator-general who was deeply rooted in Fujian, Gu Huang, the governor of the left, was only transferred to Fujian for three years.

When Gu Huang first arrived in Fujian, Cai Wen took the initiative to make friends with him. Therefore, with Cai Wen's initiative to make friends and help, Gu Huang quickly established a foothold in Fujian official circles and participated in the activities that Cai Wen spent more than ten years on.

In the great web of interests weaved.

Originally, Gu Huang was considered to be incorruptible when he was an official in the court, but unfortunately when he got there, he simply could not withstand Cai Wen's money and beauty. In a short period of time, he became colluding with Cai Wenhang and became a traitor.

That is to say, with the support of Gu Huang, the head of Fujian's civil affairs, and Cai Wen, the prosecutor of the Ming Dynasty, Gu Huang and Cai Wen, two of the three divisions of the Ming Dynasty, accounted for two out of three, and it can be said that they directly dominated the entire Fujian

Everything except the military.
