Returning to the courtyard where he stayed, Zhen Ping had arranged the mourning hall, white gauze, white candles and ebony coffin according to his instructions.

Where is he?

There was no memorial tablet placed in the mourning hall, but in Mei Changsu's eyes, it was completely dark. In a daze, Mei Changsu raised the incense above his head. Zhen Ping, who was following him, saw that he had not even raised it for half a moment.

Putting down his hand, he said softly: "Sect Master, I have asked you, and what you said is the same as what was reported back from Tianji Hall."

"Are their parents alive?" Mei Changsu put the incense into the incense burner and asked indifferently.

"The girl who can't speak is definitely abandoned by her parents. The other girl is a posthumous child. Her mother died of illness shortly after giving birth to her. The girl's father is..."

Mei Changsu heard Zhen Ping's voice trembling slightly, so he asked softly: "The child of our old friend?"

"Yes." Zhen Ping whispered, "And...I, I am in the same camp as her father."

"You want to take her back?" Before Zhen Ping could reply, Mei Changsu said softly, "No, at least not now. Many people are watching your position, and if you are not careful, you will be doomed. Give her to her.

Wu Yu, his wife has a similar experience to this child, so he can treat her as his own. As for the mute girl, leave it to Chen Kun to make arrangements."

"Leave the mute girl to Captain Chen?"

"Langya Pavilion is responsible for excerpting, and those who archive important documents are all mute servants. Tianji Hall can also train such people."

Mei Changsu straightened his back and said softly: "I have tried to completely separate the power of the old Chiyan tribe and the Jiangzuo League, but today, I have to admit that the Jiangzuo League and the old Chiyan tribe are both prosperous."

"Sir, the medicinal bath is ready. Please move forward." Outside the front hall, Banxia bowed and said softly, "Also, Miss Qu will arrive tomorrow."

"Ban Xia, where did this news come from? Is it reliable?" Zhen Ping asked in surprise, because news came from Tianji Hall today, saying that Miss Qu's family will arrive in three days.

"Oh, how can she arrange things if she doesn't come early?" Mei Changsu said angrily, "Banxia, ​​tell your master that you don't want to use this kind of small favor to send me away. This debt will be written on his head.

"

"Sir, you misunderstood. This news was not sent by the young master, but by Master Ouyang." Banxia said softly.

"Ouyang Mingde's men?" Mei Changsu glanced at Banxia, ​​his expression unnatural, "Are you sure?"

"The young master will not pass the news directly to me."

Whether it was Ouyang Mingde's side or Bixiu Villa, he had spies in place, but he didn't realize that Ouyang Mingde had established a news channel.

Mei Changsu said softly: "Banxia, ​​I want to see the person who sent the message."

Banxia saluted: "This is not difficult, but it's time for the medicinal bath, sir. Please move."

"Okay." Mei Changsu, who couldn't hide in the end, glared at Banxia fiercely and said coldly, "But I must see him tonight."

"Okay! After the young master finishes bathing, I will bring him to the young master."

Suddenly, Mei Changsu had a strange thought: had he been tricked again?

Probably not, Mei Changsu smiled stiffly. After all, he was at the top of Langya, how could he lose to the medicine boy of Shang Chun Tang.

Half an hour later, Mei Changsu finally understood what the smile on Banxia's lips meant. It turned out that that person was not Mingde's confidant, but a man in the world like Ji Bu who used people's money to eliminate disasters.

Yu Yan is a young man in his early twenties, with a thin build but good looks and a certain confidence in his words.

Where did Mingde invite such a person from? Mei Changsu had no intention of asking anymore. After a few simple questions, the doubts in his heart gradually dissipated, and Zhen Ping gave him a reward to send him away, but who would have expected that

The man weighed the broken silver in his hand and said rudely: "Mr. Su, the price agreed upon is not this. You can't burn bridges by crossing the river."

Mr. Su?

Mei Changsu was stunned for a moment, and figured out the matter in an instant.

I see.

Lin Chen was responsible for finding someone, and his reputation belonged to Ouyang Mingde, so he finally asked him to pay the bill.

Very good, they are really friends, brothers and loyal enough.

But, no problem.

It is said that the future is long, but he recognized it now, so he chuckled and said: "My knight, your matter has not been finished, how can I pay you the final payment?"

"What's going on?" Yu Yan asked with a frown.

"Escort Miss Qu back to Fuyang."

"Send Miss Qujia back to Fuyang? This is not the previous agreement. Mr. Su, you'd better pay off my reward and let me buy a pot of water and wine to drink."

After hearing this, Mei Changsu smiled and raised his hand to high-five.

When he was young, Zhen Ping took a jar of wine from a disciple and handed it to him respectfully: "Xia Xiang, can Zuiyun Tower's ten-year-old wine impress you?"

"Ten-year-old wine from Zuiyunlou?" Yu Yan stared at the wine jar in Zhen Ping's hand, but did not reach out to pick it up, "Qiuyuebai?"

"Yes, Qiu Yuebai, after you send Miss Qu back to Fuyang and remove the reward, Su will offer another altar of Qiu Yuebai from Zuiyun Tower."

"How can I believe you if you say nothing?" Yu Yan tilted his head and asked half-convinced.

"You should be familiar with the person who entrusted you to take care of Miss Qu, right?" Mei Changsu asked, suppressing his anger.

"Of course I know him, he is the young owner of Bixiu Villa." Yu Yan said proudly, "I am worthy of his brother."

brother?

Well, they are brothers.

Mei Changsu clasped his fists and said gently: "Mingde is also my brother Su, and he specifically asked me to take care of Miss Qu for him. Hero, do you understand what I mean?"

Mei Changsu's words were ambiguous, which aroused Yu Yan's curiosity, so he tentatively replied, "But some things cannot be entrusted to friends."

"There is nothing we can do about it." Mei Changsu sighed, "It will take time to rectify the inside and outside of Bixiu Villa, but one thing needs to be put first."

"What's the matter?" Yu An asked hurriedly.

Mei Changsu chuckled and said: "I was telling you that Mu Huanma needs to fight against Min Jie r privately wear a crotch and a slender body.

Think about it!

"Since the young master is a friend of the young master, do you know where he is now?" Yu Yan asked tentatively.

"He went to Nanchu to do business with the young master of Yaowang Valley." Mei Changsu glanced at Yu Yan inadvertently, and read the news he wanted from Yu Yan's hesitant expression, so he lightly

He coughed and said, "I have been in contact with Yaowang Gu for a long time. I heard that the young master of the village was also going, so I arranged for the two of them to go together."

At first, Yu Yan listened to it as gossip, but after thinking about it carefully, his heart palpitated: Yaowang Valley was a gang on Langya's rich list; although Bixiu Villa was kicked out of Langya's gang list two years ago, it was kicked off the gang list one year ago.

The heroic spirit of war has returned; the young master of Yaowang Valley, the young master of Bixiu Villa, and Qu Jixiang, the second-ranked son of Langya, how come these influential figures on the Langya list are related to the young master before them?

"Yu Xiashi, Su is ill and I won't be with you for much longer. Please help yourself." Mei Changsu bowed his hands and glanced at Zhen Ping with the corner of his eye.

Zhen Ping understood and stepped forward to greet him. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Yu Yan say: "Yu will take your leave first."

After finishing speaking, he bowed his hands towards Mei Changsu and Zhen Ping, turned around and left without even taking the wine.

"I guess Yu Yan has been bribed by Miss Qu." After confirming that the shadow guard was following Yu Yan, Mei Changsu turned to Zhen Pingxiao and smiled, "I'm looking forward to meeting Miss Qu."

"Sect Master..." Zhen Ping said politely, "I think Yu Yan is a girl pretending to be a girl. Do you think she is Miss Qu?"

Mei Changsu drank water from a tea cup to moisten his throat. He immediately choked when he heard Zhen Ping's words. He waved his hand to stop Zhen Ping from moving forward. After several coughs and gasps subsided, he raised his eyebrows and asked: "How sure are you?"

"First, anyone who can be found by Mr. Chen will have a good reputation in the world, but there is no record of Yu Chong in Tianji Hall; secondly, for men, Yu Chong is thin and thin, but for women,

Such a figure is petite and exquisite, and this posture is consistent with the figure of Miss Qujia; thirdly, although Yu Yan's voice is male, the hoarse and low voice should be deliberately disguised; fourthly, the position of Yu Yan's Adam's apple is rather strange,

And when he spoke, his Adam's apple did not tremble; fifthly, he did not ask for Qiu Yuebai when he left..."

Mei Changsu nodded frequently and said with a smile: "I have gained experience."

"Sect Master, have you noticed it too?" Zhen Ping asked in surprise.

"I'm not as careful as you. I only noticed her stance and behavior." Mei Changsu licked her lips and said softly, "And the way she walked."

Zhen Ping frowned and thought about it and said: "Her hands were always hidden in her clothes and were never exposed. Her feet were covered by the hem of her clothes. I don't know whether she was wearing shoes or boots. Her standing and walking postures were somewhat different.

strangeness."

"Do you still remember my evaluation of Miss Yang's behavior? She doesn't show her feet, she doesn't walk an inch, she smiles without showing her teeth, her hands don't reach her chest, and she behaves dignified." Mei Changsu straightened her back and said with a smile, "Miss Qu also

She is a young lady, and even if she encounters family changes, the habits she has developed since childhood will always be revealed inadvertently."

"Such a woman deserves admiration and respect." Mei Changsu rubbed her fingers and whispered. Whether Qu Ruyi or Ouyang Mingde, they all made passive choices.

What is sad and sad is that the two of them have become accustomed to it and have managed to deal with it calmly.

From a certain perspective, it is a good story that these two people are friends even if they are not husband and wife.

"Sect Master, is the power of Bixiu Villa and the Qu family important to us?" Zhen Ping asked in a low voice after looking around to make sure there was no one around.

"I'm not sure if it's important, but there are not many people in the Jianghu who can really be of use to me." Mei Changsu said helplessly, "Even if the Jiangzuo Alliance has become the largest gang in the world, even if the entire Jianghu will be destroyed by my words,

Storms are rising, but am I the one who has the final say in the world? So I not only need strength, but I also need the entire world to trust me. However, there are not many gangs that I can rely on."

"Sect Master, you have to believe in us. I believe that your prestige in the world is no less than that of the masters of Shaolin and Wudang." Zhen Ping said respectfully.

"So what?" Mei Changsu smiled self-deprecatingly, "Take Ouyang Mingde for example, where does he see me?"

"Lin Chen relied on his impressive knowledge to barely suppress Ouyang Mingde. What about me? Who am I? Although the knowledge is equal to Lin Chen's, the experience in the world depends on the accumulation of time, not just the brain's imagination. I and I

In Ouyang Mingde's confrontation, it seemed that I had the upper hand, but in fact he didn't bother to fight with me." Mei Changsu had mixed feelings, "Moving Bixiu Villa to the second place in the gang rankings may not necessarily be of any use, but it can disperse the world.

The characters are curious about the Jiang Zuo Alliance, and..."

Mei Changsu shook his head and said no more.

Zhen Ping thought that Mei Changsu was tired and needed a nap, so he bowed his hands and left.
