Ling Jing talked to Ren Yingying in the mansion for a while, and did not leave the mansion again until it got dark. He expected that the banquet in "Guiyun Villa" would be almost over at this time, so he could go up at this time to avoid the crowds and complication.
Too noisy...
It was getting late, and there were few pedestrians on the roads outside the city. A crescent moon hung slanting in the night sky, and there was only hazy moonlight on the ground. The shadows of the branches on the road were slanted, and Ling Jing's shadow was stretched long on the ground.
In the night, everything was silent. Ling Jing was walking alone, but many thoughts were running through his mind.
At today's Heroes Conference, he and the Tianji Sect almost stole the show. Not only did they defeat Ren Woxing, but the eight elders of his sect also defeated the challenges of many evil masters in a row, which was unparalleled.
As long as today is over, the name of Tianji Sect will definitely be powerful in the world, and his Ling Jing's name will be elevated again to a level that everyone in the world needs to look up to.
"But it's extremely cold at high places. I'm afraid Tianji Sect will face many challenges in the future."
He has always known this, at least Ren Woxing and the Sun Moon Sect will not give up with the Tianji Sect. It is said that one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, but now there are two huge forces in the devil's path, and everyone wants to unify the entire devil's path.
The disputes in the future can be foreseen.
Thinking of this, a cold light suddenly flashed in Ling Jing's eyes.
"Whether it's the righteous path or the evil path, as long as you want to get through my Tianji Sect, the only way is to perish."
Tianji Sect is now the foundation of his life. After all, he is considered a man with a family, so he naturally has to consider the people around him.
"And on this trip to the north, I must gather as many experts as possible for my use. I heard that there are crouching tigers, hidden dragons in the capital, so I hope you won't disappoint me in the end."
About half an hour later, Ling Jing returned to "Guiyun Villa".
Most of the people in the village have dispersed, and in the huge venue, only a few drunken people are still talking and drinking, and they don't seem to be ready to leave.
There were many Tianji Sect disciples in the venue who had already begun to clean up the venue, constantly going back and forth to sort out the debris in the venue.
In the base camp at the top, Linglong, Yue Lingshan and others have all dispersed, leaving only Ji Wushi sitting there drinking alone.
"Brother Ji, why are you sitting here alone?" Ling Jing came up and sat next to Ji Wushi, pouring himself a glass of wine.
Ji Wushi was slightly startled. He was so distracted that he didn't notice Ling Jing's arrival.
"Master, when did you come back?" He was still used to calling Ling Jing Master, but Ling Jing didn't feel dissatisfied. In the end, it was just a title.
"Haha, of course I'll be back when I'm done with my work."
The two talked for a while, but in a corner of the venue, the middle-aged man and the young man with a mustache had not yet come down the mountain. When they saw Ling Jing returning to the village, they immediately looked at each other and walked this way.
come over.
After a while, the two of them stood not far behind Ling Jing. The middle-aged man cupped his fists and said, "Young Master Ling, do you still remember your old friend?"
Ling Jing turned his head when he heard the sound, and looked at the bearded middle-aged man's face. With the light of the lantern in the venue, he could see the face of the man clearly.
Suddenly a strange color flashed in his eyes, and he thought, why is he here?
Ling Jing showed a smile on his face and said: "Brother Huang, you and Brother Oxfam are here too, why didn't you inform me earlier?"
The person who came was none other than Huang Xiu, a master from Dongchang who had dealt with him before. Although this person had easily changed his appearance, it was not difficult to tell their true identities.
The young man next to Huang Xiu was Oxfam, the artistic conception level master who had fought against Ling Jing in Shop No. 28 that day.
When Oxfam heard this, he clasped his fists and smiled at Ling Jing, but didn't say much. Apparently, he gave all the power of speech to Huang Jin.
The strange look in Ling Jing's eyes was even worse. He didn't expect that the two of them were led by Huang Xiu, who was slightly weaker in martial arts.
"Brother Ling, this is not the place to talk. Can we take a moment to talk?"
Ling Jing nodded thoughtfully, turned around and gave Ji Wushi a few more instructions, then took Huang Xiu and Huang Xiu to a secluded living room in the backyard.
The three of them sat down in the hall. Ling Jing ordered people to serve tea and said straight to the point: "Brother Huang, I wonder what you can learn from coming to Guiyun Villa?"
He has always had an attitude of not getting close to Dongchang and not offending him. However, ever since Wanmenku and his party fought against Huang Jin, he has always been wary of Dongchang. Later, he saw them and Zuo Leng
He cooperated with Zen and wanted to eradicate the Hengshan sect, so he had a bad impression of Dongchang.
Huang Xiu smiled slightly, took a sip of tea, and said with a slow smile: "Brother Ling, I heard that you have a confidante who is settling in the capital now?"
In an instant, Ling Jing's face darkened, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, he looked at Huang Xiu coldly and said, "Brother Huang, what do you mean by this?"
A trace of murderous intent suddenly flashed through his heart. The matter of Lianyi's trip to the capital was very secret, and only he knew about it until now. But where did Huang Xiu get the news from, and what happened to Lianyi now?
"Brother Ling, please be patient." Huang Xiu's heart froze, and she felt a little uncomfortable under Ling Jing's gaze. She suddenly felt the hairs on her body standing on end, as if she was being targeted by a murderer, and quickly explained: "
Brother Ling, please don’t get me wrong, our Dongchang has always served the royal family, and Princess Jingchu personally told us about Miss Lian Yi.”
"Princess Jingchen?" Ling Jing frowned slightly. This was the second time he heard the name of this princess, but he didn't even have a clue about this person.
"Brother Huang, who is this Princess Jingzhu, and what is happening to Lianyi now?"
Huang Xiudao: "Princess Jingzhu is the fourteenth princess most favored by the Holy Emperor today. Moreover, the princess has been fond of practicing martial arts since she was a child and likes to make friends with masters in the world. With young talents like Brother Ling, the princess must be very happy to be with you."
To be friends.”
Ling Jing was not interested in this. Princess Lao Shizi did not attract him at all. Anyway, he did not want to be the consort of the dynasty.
"Brother Huang, let's talk about the important point..." Ling Jing knocked on the table.
Huang Xiu smiled, and even Oxfam looked at him strangely.
"Miss Lianyi is safe now. She is staying with the princess for the time being. And no one dares to offend the royal family in the capital, which would be detrimental to Miss Lianyi."
Ling Jing then breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly: "That's very good. Then Brother Huang, how about you tell me why you came to meet with me today?"
As the saying goes, he doesn't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. He doesn't believe that Huang Xiu and Oxfam, two powerful masters, are here together just to convey the news about Lian Yi to him.
Huang Xiu's expression suddenly turned serious. He glanced around as a reflex, leaned over and whispered, "Brother Ling, do you know that the Ming Cult is plotting a rebellion?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Oxfam's expression on the side also darkened.
Ling Jing's heart moved. In fact, after meeting Qin Baichuan at West Lake Meizhuang that day, he had vaguely guessed Han Yu's thoughts. Unexpectedly, it was confirmed by Huang Xiu at this moment.
While his thoughts were racing, his face remained calm and he said calmly: "Oh? Is there such a thing?"
Huang Xiu nodded and said in a cold voice: "Han Yu is an ambitious man. When the emperor re-appointed the former leader of the Ming Cult, our old governor strongly opposed it. Unfortunately, that man was too cunning, and he won the emperor's favor with his clever words and tricks.
In the end, he became the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guards."
Speaking of this, his face looked extremely ugly.
Ling Jing raised his eyes and looked at Huang Xiu, waiting for the next words.
"Brother Ling, to be honest, Han Yu's martial arts are already unfathomable. He has already surpassed the previous leaders of the Ming Cult. No one can know his true identity. Even our old governor is very fond of this person.
We are afraid. Moreover, this person has a very complex network of relationships in the capital and has close contacts with the ministers of the DPRK and China. Although we have been trying our best to eradicate him, we have never had a suitable opportunity."
Ling Jing already had a bad premonition in his heart, and he frowned and said, "Brother Huang, we don't talk secretly in front of people. If you have anything to do, just tell us."
Huang Xiu smiled slightly, and Le Shi suddenly said: "Brother Ling, your swordsmanship and martial arts are rare in the world. Le Mou admires you very much. I wonder if you are willing to serve the royal family and work with us to eradicate this cancer of Mingjiao.
It’s good to bring peace to the world.”
After saying that, he looked at Ling Jing expectantly.
Ling Jing tapped his fingers lightly on the table, weighing the pros and cons.
First of all, he himself was just a man in the Jianghu, and had little to do with the court. Moreover, people in the Jianghu had never dealt with the court. People in the Jianghu often killed officials and soldiers, so the court did not deal with the Jianghu people.
He has always been hostile. Based on this, he has no reason to embrace the royal family.
Furthermore, he himself has no concern for the affairs of the world. No matter how the court and the people in the world fight, in the end it is the Han people who are fighting in their own nests. After all, the world still belongs to us Han people. As long as there is no alien invasion,
He doesn't want to get involved in these things.
"Brother Huang, Brother Le, I'm afraid you have found the wrong person. I am living at ease in the world, but I have never thought about bringing peace to the world with you."
Ling Jing flatly refused.
However, there was no trace of disappointment on the faces of Huang Xiu and Oxfam. Huang Xiu smiled meaningfully and said: "Brother Ling, Miss Lianyi is now tracing her life experience. She has been in danger many times in the Mingjiao General Forum in the past few times.
If our Dongchang hadn't sent someone to rescue her in time, I'm afraid Miss Lianyi wouldn't be safe and sound now."
Ling Jing suddenly raised his eyebrows, clenched his right hand unconsciously, and said, "Is she still tracing her life experience?"
Huang Xiu nodded.
"This girl..." Ling Jing frowned. If Lian Yi wanted to trace her life experience, she could only start with the Ming Cult. But now she was on the Ming Cult's blacklist. If she continued to trace it, wouldn't it mean that she would be put on the Ming Cult's side?
Are you pushing yourself into the fire pit?
After pondering for a moment, Ling Jing suddenly raised his head and said, "Brother Huang, when will you return to the capital?" (To be continued.
