On the first day of the year, the clouds are shining brightly.
The morning light was brilliant and dazzling, painting the bow of the awning with a touch of gold.
Yang Zhaoxi told Xiao Zhan and others about the assassination incident caused by the "Top Capital List of Two Capitals" and some allusions to Yishui Pavilion that she knew in detail, and then said with a solemn face:
"The storm is about to come. The 'Shendu Martial Arts Conference' is about to kick off, and Luoyang City has turned into chaos again! Xiaodao feels that these people behind the scenes are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, so they must stir up some trouble!
However, Yishui Pavilion is colluding with him and adding fuel to the flames. If he could see the master of Yishui Pavilion, Xiaodao would spit in his face!"
When Xiao Zhan heard this, he immediately looked shocked and hurriedly made a gesture of silence, then lowered his voice and said: "Junior brother Yang, be careful! There is an old saying in the world, 'It is better to offend the saint than to slander Yishui Pavilion'. If you are killed by Yi,
Shuige knows your disrespectful words and is afraid that the reward will be increased by another thousand taels."
Yang Chaoxi's anger subsided a little, but he still said with a gloomy face: "Since Yishui Pavilion can do these things, are you still afraid of being slandered by others? Even if you can kill me, how can you stop everyone in the world from talking?!"
Li Miaolan also advised from the side: "Brother Xiao's loyal words are hard to hear, and it's for your own sake. There are not many 'permanent assassins' in Yishui Pavilion, and the 'temporary assassins' are also people with outstanding martial arts skills among the nine-rate three sects.
But in fact, there are far more assassins recruited than these. It is even rumored that there is a group of "hidden assassins" who rarely show off their talents. They only take orders from the master of the pavilion and do shady errands for Yishui Pavilion. Even if Junior Brother Yang has something in his heart
You should be more patient with your grievances to avoid getting angry."
After hearing this, Pugu Xingde couldn't help but wonder: "How come Sister Miaolan knows so much about Yishui Pavilion? Even Brother Xiao and I have only heard about it in Luoyang these years. It's really strange!"
Li Miaolan's face turned red and she said with a shy smile: "Actually, last year, Miaolan was recommended by the head of the Yuan family in Luoyang and became the 'temporary assassin' of Yishui Pavilion... But she only did it twice in Yishui Pavilion.
Sorry, I got a reward...Brother Xiao, don't worry, Miaolan killed a flower-picking thief with a long history of evil, and there was no indiscriminate killing. Hehe!"
After Li Miaolan said this, not only Pugu Xingde, but also Xiao Zhan and Yang Chaoxi were shocked.
Xiao Zhan raised his sword eyebrows and said with a strange expression: "Miaolan, Xiao is really lucky that he has never said anything bad about Yishui Pavilion in front of you. If Junior Brother Yang gets so angry and speaks indiscriminately, you will definitely not let it go.
In your heart, right?"
Li Miaolan looked at the suddenly cautious expressions of the three of them and couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle: "How could it be? It's just a complaint, why make a fuss about it. Besides, the master of Yishui Pavilion and the young master of the pavilion, how can they be as petty as you think? Harmony brings wealth.
, not only do they understand it, even the assassins in the pavilion are known to everyone, and they will never take human lives at every turn."
Yang Zhaoxi was doubtful, pondered for a long time, and asked the question she was most concerned about: "Miss Li! Yesterday, Xiaodao killed four assassins, but three of them turned around and escaped when they saw that they were defeated. I don't know when the Yishui Pavilion will be the fastest.
Will they send out assassins again to take revenge on the trail?"
Li Miaolan shook her jade hand lightly and said with a smile: "Of course I will send you again. But it is not revenge, but other assassins taking over this job. As for those assassins who were killed by you, I can only say that their skills are not as good as others, Yishui
The government may not even be willing to provide more pension money, so how can it organize assassins to come for revenge?"
Yang Chaoxi nodded slowly, and then asked: "I saw that in the "Top Capital List of Two Capitals", nearly a hundred people in Luoyang, the sacred capital alone, were listed with rewards. Why are there only Xiaodao and Xiaoxiangmen so far?
Xiong Cang was stabbed?"
"Junior Brother Yang is wrong!"
Xiao Zhan heard the words and smiled bitterly, "Miaolan and the others don't know about this, but I have heard about it. Yesterday, I heard from several brothers in Wuhoupu that since the beginning of summer, almost all disciples of various sects who have settled in the divine capital have been attacked.
.
Disciples and disciples of Xiaoxiangmen in Lingnan and Yanxia League outside Guanwai were killed. Disciples of Miaoshou Hall in Zhongzhou and Diancang sect in Nanzhao were also injured. There were even female disciples in Rouge Valley in Eastern Wu who were teased and their bodies were exposed in the countryside...
Strange cases are happening all the time, and Henan Mansion is already in a state of disarray."
Yang Chaoxi remembered the various sects and sects mentioned by Liu Xiaomu in Yueyi Tower two days ago, and vaguely remembered that the "Two Capital Lists of Two Capitals" indeed listed the rewards for some disciples of the sects, so he knew what Xiao Zhan said.
It's not false. I just never heard of the name "Zhongzhou Miaoshou Hall", so I was busy asking about it.
Pugu Xingde immediately laughed and said: "This 'Zhongzhou Miaoshou Tang' is not a gang that has a reputation. Junior Brother Yang doesn't care."
Yang Zhaoxi became more and more curious: "Why?"
Li Miaolan also burst into laughter: "If we talk about this gang, it can be regarded as a 'rat crossing the street, everyone shouts to beat it up'. The world has also given this 'Miaoshou Tang' a more appropriate name, called the Tou'er Gang
, Junior Brother Yang should be able to guess what they do now, right?"
Xiao Zhan also laughed and said: "Miaoshoutang specializes in theft, and many of its disciples hang out in shops and shops. Merchants and ordinary people have suffered greatly from it. For example, what about 'exploring the bag to get something', 'Miaoshou is empty' and 'no capital and profit'"
, are all skills that are despised by fellow martial artists."
Pugu Xingde also added: "Although this leader of the Tou'er Gang has mediocre martial arts skills, he has learned a set of light skills called 'oiling the soles of his feet'. As long as he takes action, he will almost never lose his property, and he is not afraid of it."
The arrests of cadres and bad guards often escape!
This is because the skilled man is timid, so when he attacks, he not only wears a rubber mask, but also wears several pairs of robes of different colors. Once he is chased to the end, he will resort to the method of "escape from the golden cicada" and throw away the mask and robes.
Next. Then change your walking and sitting posture and blend into the crowd..."
Yang Chaoxi was dumbfounded after hearing this. He was speechless for a long time, and then murmured to himself for a long time: "I see! It's just that the trail is ignorant and ignorant."
Then he raised his eyes and cupped his hands, looked at Li Miaolan and said, "Since Miss Li is an assassin of Yishui Pavilion, I wonder if you know if there is any way to remove the names of these people who have been rewarded and included in the list.
?”
Li Miaolan smiled slightly and apologized in return: "Such things rarely happen in the pavilion. As the saying goes, 'the person who tied the bell must untie it', as long as the person who issued the reward is willing to take the initiative to withdraw, Yishui Pavilion will notify
An assassin under his command cancels someone's reward. However, he can only get back 50% of the money that has been handed over to Yishui Pavilion.
Junior Brother Yang must understand that whether in temples or in rivers and lakes, the deeper the grudges between people and the heavier the hatred, the more profit Yishui Pavilion can make from it. If the world is peaceful, the officials and the people are happy, the road does not pick up things, and the houses are not closed at night, then what will happen?
Will there be a place for Yishui Pavilion to live?"
After Yang Chaoxi heard this, he couldn't help but be silent: The more prosperous the world is, the clearer the politics will be, and the people's minds will be progressive, and they will paint a picture of peace in the world. The more chaotic the world is, the more people will take advantage of it, make a lot of money, and finally make the country unstable.
, the people are in dire straits. And although Yishui Pavilion claims to be fair in business, is it not a cancer parasitic on the officials and people of the prosperous dynasty?
As I turned my mind, I saw a red sun gradually rising up the city wall, reflected on the Luoshui River flowing eastward. Thousands of waves and veins, floating light and gold, also drove away all the depression and confusion, loss and melancholy.
Xiao Zhan saw that he looked depressed, and thought it was due to the pain of the wound, so he quickly turned around and said, "Junior brother Yang, please bear with me for a moment. It's summer morning, and the morning drums are noisy. When all the gates in the city are opened, Pugu and I will
Junior brother will take you to the hospital for medical treatment."
Li Miaolan also echoed: "It's not far from Nanshi. Even rare herbs can be bought."
However, Yang Zhaoxi slowly stood up, stretched his limbs a few times and said: "The path is already fine, so there is no need to bother the doctor!"
Xiao Zhan and Pugu Xingde both had wide-eyed eyes: they clearly remembered that when they fished him out last night, he was still covered in wounds and half dead. It was only after he asked the fisherman for a rough crotch-less robe that his body was covered with wounds.
Kong's robe was changed. How could it be that when he woke up, the little Taoist priest seemed to be in peace, sitting and lying calmly, walking and acting according to his heart, and no longer looked weak at all?
Pugu Xingde finally couldn't bear his curiosity and rushed forward to roll up his sleeves. He saw that where he was originally scratched by the sword, there was only a little bit of blood scab left, and even the scar was very light. And the swelling was
It has recovered as before, with no bruises or purple marks.
When Xiao Zhan saw this, he was startled at first, and then laughed out loud: "It seems that Brother Yang is not only blessed with profound blessings, but also has made great progress in Taoism. He has reached the state of enlightenment and can heal without medicine! It's really gratifying and congratulatory!"
Li Miaolan's eyes were full of brilliance: "Is this the 'impermeable golden body' that Shimen said? It is indestructible by water and fire? It is indestructible by all evil spirits?"
After all, Pugu Xingde came from a Taoist sect, and he immediately laughed and said: "Junior brother Yang has mastered the authentic Taoist inner elixir technique, how can it be related to the Shi sect? The only way to 'heal without medicine' is to rely on inner breath.
It stimulates the circulation of qi and blood. The thicker the inner breath, the stronger the qi and blood will be, and it will act on the wound, naturally getting twice the result with half the effort, and the speed of healing will be much faster than that of ordinary people."
Although Li Miaolan agreed with what he said, she also rolled her eyes: "Humph! Who wants you to be a teacher? Doesn't Brother Xiao understand this? It's really superfluous."
Xiao Zhan was used to bickering between the two, so he immediately picked up Yang Zhaoxi and walked out of the cabin: "No matter what, it's always a happy event for Junior Brother Yang to save the day. Let's catch some more river fish and roast them with wine.
, have a great celebration!”
After hearing this, the two of them cheered loudly. They immediately followed him and left the cabin, each looking for fishing rods.
The morning fog gradually dispersed, and boats and boats were passing by. Luoshui River gradually became lively.
The morning drums had already sounded. The four of them sat cross-legged on the bow of the boat, giving orders and guessing riddles, sifting wine and cooking fish, and it was a pleasant scene.
After drinking for three rounds, Yang Chaoxi stood up and said goodbye: "Xiaodao thanks Brother Xiao, Miss Li, and Senior Brother Pugu for the hospitality! Yesterday Xiaodao had a great fate, and he had to be rescued by several brothers and sisters, and he escaped. But my senior master Yuan Zhenren
, still knew nothing about this matter. Xiaodao was eager to tell him, so he said goodbye to several brothers and sisters!"
Xiao Zhan knew that he was eager to save his teacher and could not force him to stay any longer, so he raised his hand and said with a smile: "Once a teacher, you will always be a father. Junior Brother Yang can just leave! Xiao has moved back to the old house with his mother.
If something happens, you can come to Daodefang to find me!"
Upon seeing this, Li Miaolan and Pugu Xingde reported their respective residences to Yang Chaoxi. They only said that although the world is big, good friends are hard to find, but if there is an emergency or difficulty in the future, they will do their best to help.
The three of them stood on the bow of the boat, watching Yang Zhaoxi leap down, stepping on the blue waves of floating grass, and quickly disappeared among the reeds.
