Another swordsman came forward, holding a stack of paper in his hand: "Sir, look at this."
Fan Zhuyi and Yu Xiaozhou looked curiously and saw that the eleven pages of paper written by Dongfang only had the words "Xia Zhaoyi" written on them.
"Ah," Dongfang Shi smacked his lips, "Feng Qingang's current target is actually Xia Zhaoyi."
Fan Zhuyi said: "Do you know Feng Qingang? Who are you?"
"What about you?" Dongfang Shi raised his eyelids and looked at him, "It seems that your names have not been revealed yet?"
Fan Zhuyi glanced at Yu Xiaozhou and said, "My name is Lin Shen."
Yu Xiaozhou said: "My name is Yu Xiaozhou."
"Yu Xiaozhou?" Dongfang Shi looked at him with raised eyebrows, then turned to look at Fan Zhuyi, "Your Excellency, is your name really Lin Shen?"
Fan Zhuyi thought to himself that it was not good. Judging from this person's appearance, he seemed to know the name Yu Xiaozhou.
At this moment, Fan Zhuyi saw the long swords carried by the two swordsmen.
The pattern on the scabbard made Fan Zhuyi frown, as if he had seen it before.
"I rescued a person not long ago. I wonder if this old Mr. Lin knows her," Dongfang Shi smiled half-heartedly, "Her name is Lin Qingfeng."
Fan Zhuyi was stunned. Yu Xiaozhou was not as good at hiding his emotions as him, and his eyes widened.
"Oh?" Dongfang Shi said, "It seems that we know him."
"Where is she now?" Fan Zhuyi asked in a deep voice.
"Don't worry," Dongfang Shi looked them up and down, gently raised his hand to his subordinates, "Grab them."
Fan Zhuyi and Yu Xiaozhou were shocked: "What are you doing?!"
"Take you to see her." Dongfang Shi said, his voice still slow and full of enchantment.
Walking through this dark room, there is dust along the way, and the ground is still full of potholes, but no matter where you go, there are bones and corpses, and there are countless small mechanisms hidden on the walls.
Go all the way to the depths, and at the end is a dark room, with two corpses lying in front of the door, wearing the same clothes and swords as these swordsmen.
Fan Zhuyi saw a silver needle stuck in the neck of a corpse at a glance. From the blood on the wound, he guessed that this might be the Snow Immortal.
There are many damaged areas near the stone gate. The dense concentration of these mechanisms really looks like the work of Feng Qingang.
The rooms inside are structured like a cell palace, with "Xia Zhaoyi" written on a piece of paper.
Dongfang Shi picked up a few of them and looked at them, but became uninterested. He stepped on the papers on the floor and looked around, with a rather amused look on his face.
Yu Xiaozhou was a little afraid of him, but couldn't help but look at his face again.
He is a very strange person, always smiling but not smiling, but since we first met him, I have never seen him really smile.
"Who are you?" Fan Zhuyi asked, "Where are you from Feng Qingang?"
"We are also looking for him," Dongfang Shi replied calmly, "He owes our Gong Meng three lives."
"Meng Gong?"
Dongfang Shi turned sideways and raised his left eyebrow: "I almost forgot someone, Shen Xu, who are you?"
Fan Zhuyi raised his head slightly: "Enemy."
Yu Xiaozhou frowned and turned to look at him.
"Why are you asking him?" Fan Zhuyi asked again, "Who is he to you? An enemy? An enemy?"
"Stranger," Dongfang Shi retracted his gaze and walked to the other side while saying, "If you want to deal with Ah Li, you have to get rid of Shen Lie as well. If you want to deal with Shen Lie, Shen Shu is his constraint."
Fan Zhuyi sneered: "I'm afraid you don't know that Shen Xu has been detained by them for almost half a year."
Dongfang Shi ignored him, glanced at the "Xia Zhaoyi" all over the floor, and said: "Sanping, if we only have half a cup of tea, it's time for us to leave."
"So fast," said the swordsman under his command, "my lord, half of this place has not yet been explored."
"The exploration is endless." Dongfang Shi said, looking at a damaged mechanism on the door frame.
That mechanism had been destroyed when they came here. In addition to that mechanism, they also encountered many corpses along the way.
The body had not rotted for more than half a month, and the wind was clear. How could he "waste" so many fresh bodies?
If he ever comes back, he will either be dissected or eaten.
If he had never come back, people outside who were interested in him would probably have left a few pairs of "eyes" here to keep an eye on him.
Regardless of whether there is or not, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time. It is just right to leave now.

A big bird flapped its wings, flew across the countryside, rushed towards the vast and grand Hengxiang City, and fell into the Yamen.
A soldier stepped forward and untied the bamboo tube from the big bird's feet. After taking a look, he immediately ran to the back hall.
Soon, Xia Junnan, who was sitting in the back hall of the yamen today, sent someone to Zhiyu Waterside Pavilion. Not long after, Xu Yinjun, the chief steward of Zhiyu Waterside Pavilion, ran out in person and went to Wenhe Building.
Xia Zhaoyi read the contents on the paper and said: "The man in red has a handsome face and is leading eight swordsmen."
She handed the note to Shen Lie: "It's the mountain south of Ruan's house."
After returning from the Ruan family, Xia Zhaoyi did keep his "eyes" there, planning to wait and see if Feng Qingang would come over.
But I was afraid of alerting others and being noticed by him, so I didn't keep many "eyes" and only sent three people in total.
Now it seems that the "rabbit" that was originally waiting for did not wait, but another group of people waited.
There were rapid footsteps outside.
Xu Yinjun, who was closest to the door, went over and saw that he was the clerk from Ning'an Building.
Xu Yinjun quickly made way for him.
"Miss Ah Li!" The waiter from Ning'an Building came over and gasped, "Something happened! The little brother named Yu Xiaozhou was arrested together with Old Man Fan! They went to Ruan's house today and entered a tunnel. They never came out, so our people sent people to follow them, but later we heard from the brothers on the other side that the little brother and old man Fan were kidnapped and brought down from the mountain on the other side!"
Xia Zhaoyi said: "But he was tied up by a man in red?"
"Eh? Miss Ali, do you know?"
"Then are your people still following?" Xia Zhaoyi asked.
"That's natural. If our eldest lady doesn't let go, we will continue to follow!"
Xia Zhaoyi stood up: "Take me there."
Across Shunyu Lake, Dai Yu and Du Xuan watched them come out of the side door of Wenhe Building.
At the same time, Shen Shuangcheng's follower Yunri was also standing upstairs in the inn, observing.
A subordinate came back from outside and said: "After a lot of talking and spending some money, I finally found out with the gentleman present. Just now, they did have a verbal dispute with the master over there. The little girl made rude remarks and was serious. To protect him is even more treasonous."
Yunri raised his eyebrows: "This son who has not spoken for more than ten years is actually trying to protect a little girl in front of the master?"
"Looking at their appearance, they have no intention of letting the young master go."
"Haha," Yunri laughed, "Anyone who has become a great businessman in ancient times has never touched the four words of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness. If the banner of filial piety cannot stand, how can his tens of thousands of soldiers and horses trust him and obey him? From him."
"Sir, will you agree?"
"Then it depends on Shen Lie. If Shen Lie refuses to magnify the young master, in the end, only the kindness of the master will be worn away. By the way, where is the master?"
"I went to Zijianlou. Several local chambers of commerce insisted on inviting him to dinner."
Thinking of Guo Yunzhe, Yunri said: "The housekeeper sent by the woman gave me a name. You can go to Zijianlou to find the master and deliver it to him."
