Chapter Three Hundred and Eighty Clouds Resting Sun (1)
Chapter 380: Cloud Rest Day (Part 1)
Zhao Yunming's words made Lin Hengshan stunned for a moment, then he shook his head and smiled without saying anything else.
As the most important intelligence organization in Yinren Village, the Payroll Organization played a vital role in attending the banquet. However, most of their efforts were in advance investigations. At this time, there were only less than three days before the banquet, and the matter was over.
At this point, Yinren is still making arrangements in an orderly manner, which is also a test of the salary list organization work.
As the saying goes, success or failure is determined in advance. No words can be said before leaving, but Zhao Yunming's four words "return in triumph" can boost morale!
Two days later, Yinren Town ushered in a sunny day for the first time in a long time. Although it was still cold outside and snow was still covering the mountains and plains, the team that was not enough to go to Luoye City still quietly set off.
Yi Xifeng and other iron-clad guards did not go with the team. In Li Chengtao's words, if there was a war this time, the fair boy and others would not be able to play a big role.
Just like that, accompanied by Li Chengqian and Li Chengtao, Lin Hengshan set off with a team of less than ten people. Even the people of Yinren Village did not realize that the old man had left, but the six major leaders of Yinren Town
The family and all the major forces in Luoye County are always paying attention to this extremely small team.
…
Half an hour later, Chunfeng Town, Fenghe Pier.
"Sir, Yinren's party for the banquet has set off!" A man dressed as a sailor reported in a deep voice to Yan Mingbohui, who was sitting at the top.
"How many people were dispatched this time?" Yan Mingbo asked with his eyes closed, not looking at the sailor half-kneeling in the lobby.
"Well, there are less than ten people including the driver!"
"Oh?" Leader Yan called out softly, and slowly opened his eyes, only to see golden residual images of inner energy flashing in his eyes. It was obvious that the man's strength level had improved a lot.
Three months ago, Li Chengqian came out of the ancient ruins. This was the official high-level contact between Chunfeng Town and Yinren. What followed was the siege of Luoye City. The two sides had three gambling battles, which also fully demonstrated Yinren's strength.
True strength.
From that day on, Yinren Town and Chunfeng Town announced a formal alliance, and Yan Mingbo also exchanged the "ancient" monument skills he dreamed of from Li Chengqian.
Although the actual effect of this ancient relic technique is not strong, it only makes the inner energy circulate more actively and has a certain effect on the recovery of injuries, but this set of techniques does meet the requirements of the "Nine Barbarians Xuanming Jue" practiced by Yan Mingbo.
In one fell swoop, he broke through to the "Nine Barbarian Realm", and his martial arts and combat power also reached the high level of Yin Yang level! His inner strength level also took the opportunity to enter the level of the chivalrous person.
Moreover, Yan Mingbo also discovered that the Nine Barbarians Xuan Ming Jue was indeed a historic exercise. When his cultivation level reached the Nine Barbarians Perfection, all the Nei Jin techniques he had learned before would be integrated into this set of Nei Jin techniques.
Of course, the fusion here only has a few characteristics of the original technique, but in any case, this is an unexpected gain. This is also the main reason why Yan Mingbo chose to practice in seclusion during this period.
After hearing the report from his subordinates, Gang Leader Yan pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said with a smile: "Yinren's strength is still unfathomable!" After that, he waved the soldier to retreat. He didn't know that Ji Shen was holding the gourd.
What kind of medicine are they selling? But the harder the two parties fight, the more space will be left for Chunfeng Town to develop!
…
Fallen Leaf City.
At this time, the people in Luoye City are naturally full of joy. In a few days, it will be the "Cloud Rest Day", which is the most grand festival in Luo Yun Kingdom. At that time, not only will the whole city be open to the public, but also all people will be able to enjoy the rest of the clouds on the Cloud Rest Day.
There is no need to pay taxes on any completed transaction!
Therefore, every winter, many businesses will prepare for this grand ceremony. The officials of Luoye City will even organize a grand fireworks show and lantern show to demonstrate the dominance of Luoye City's governor.
This year's Cloud Rest Day is even more luxurious and brilliant than in previous years!
Since the first snowfall in winter, this fallen leaf city has been busy. Edelweiss of various colors has been planted at the door of every house. These flowers that bloom in winter are not big and are crowded together in clusters. They look like
A hydrangea. People also call it "hydrangea".
In the past, ordinary people could not afford to grow this kind of flowers and plants, because this kind of flower did not come from Luoyun Kingdom, but from the Far East Kingdom in the far north.
It is always cold there, and this kind of flower cannot withstand the high temperature after the spring of Luoyun Kingdom, so it can only be grown for one winter and then wither. Only wealthy nobles, or the children of rich families with ice cellars at home, will play with this kind of hydrangea.
However, this year, for the feast of Cloud Rest Day, Luoye City paid a huge price and bought ten ships of "hydrangeas" of various colors from the Far East Kingdom, and planted them all along all the roads in Luoye City!
This made the people of Luoye City extremely happy. After all, ordinary people had never seen such exotic flowers. Now, as soon as they go out, they can see a handful planted in front of their door.
…
The governor's office is located in Fuyunju.
Ji Shenfu was not feeding the koi at the Yunxiao Pond on one side at this moment. Instead, he was silently playing the chessboard game in the main hall of Fuyunju.
He is still dressed as a middle-aged scholar, with his hair casually pulled into a bun on his head, and a maroon wooden hairpin is casually inserted into the bun. He looks less scholarly, but actually has more.
The indifference and ease of a Taoist priest.
At this moment, a figure appeared behind him. He was wearing night clothes and a hat on his head.
"They set off." The man in black, wearing a hat, said in a hoarse voice.
Ji Shen held a white diamond in his arm, paused for a moment, and then slowly dropped it. He muttered:
"It's a good thing that a distinguished guest is here, a good thing!"
The man in black was obviously very familiar with our county magistrate, and continued: "There is also news about Helian Haixin's traces."
"Oh?" The middle-aged scholar twirled another black chip, but this time he just let out a light sigh and didn't make a move.
The man in black continued: "Helian Haixin's whereabouts are elusive. In the past few months, according to the reports from the Shahe Gang, he should be investigating the battle between Yinren and Tiexin. Therefore, it is very likely that the next step will be
, he will come to Luoye City, after all, General Human Slaughter is also considered to be involved."
Ji Shen twisted the black seed in his hand and said with a smile: "Haha, double happiness!"
…
"Ah sneeze!"
A group of children stood at the street corner looking at the various hydrangeas around them. Suddenly, a sneeze made the children who were playing startled. They looked at the little girl standing on the wall with two snot dragons hanging on it.
"Xiao Cui, your nose is full of mucus, wipe it quickly!" a child said with a smile.
Apparently they all thought that the "sneeze" just now was caused by the little girl with a runny nose, but the little girl named Xiaocui sniffed her nose, and the two snot dragons "hid" back.
She was still looking at the hydrangeas at her feet with excitement.
No one noticed that a young scholar walked quickly behind the little girl.
Helian Haixin rubbed his somewhat red nose with his fingers, and thought to himself: Due to his cultivation level, although his internal strength and energy are not of Yang attribute, it is very difficult for him to suffer from wind and cold.
The young man curled his lips and said, "It seems like another big shot is thinking about me!"
As soon as he thought about this, he remembered what happened in Tiexin Village some time ago.
…
He had previously learned from Zhong Er, a strong man in Tiexin Village, that a man named Zhao Yuntian or Mr. Shui played an important role in the battle when Yinren annexed Tiexin last year.
Naturally, he would not let go of such an obvious clue, but he did not choose to approach the other party rashly. In Helian Haixin's own words, "What you discover by yourself will always be truer than what others tell you!"
Therefore, he first collected various information about Mr. Shui. Fortunately, Shui Yuntian's reputation in Tiexin Village was quite good. After spending a little time, he still got the information he wanted.
Then the young man left Tiexin Village and rushed to Queshan Camp. Yes, the information shows that Shui Yuntian worked as a teacher at the foot of Queshan Mountain before officially entering Tiexin Village.
Here, he discovered the small village with only ten households. It was hard to imagine that such a big talent could be "buried" again in such a small place.
But when Helian Haixin continued to investigate, he discovered something unusual. The ten families here all moved here forty-four years ago. This was abnormal for a small personnel base.
What is even more abnormal is that no new family has settled in this small stronghold at the foot of Queshan Mountain. It has always been these ten families. Most of the young and middle-aged people have moved to Tiexin Village not far away. Only a few elderly families are still here.
Live here.
Just when He Lian Hai Xin was about to continue his investigation, he met a tall, thin middle-aged man.
This man was very strange, and was very enthusiastic about the arrival of the young scholar. In his words, few outsiders came here. After all, it was less than ten miles away from Tiexin Village, and it was located on Que Mountain, and there were no roads up and down the mountain.
It’s not easy to leave, so many people have moved away.
Helian Haixin was also very happy to meet someone who was not too old, and he seemed to be very talkative. The two of them chatted with each other.
Finally, the young man finally asked what he really wanted to ask.
"Uncle, do you know Shui Yuntian, Mr. Shui!"
"Oh, why don't you know him? He used to live here."
"I heard that he is not a hard-core person, nor is he a person from here?"
"What? Are you embarrassed of him?" the tall, thin middle-aged man asked with a smile.
Helian Haixin said with a smile: "That's natural. I'm not from the local area. I've heard about Mr. Shui's name since I came to Tiexin Village, so I came here because of his fame!"
The middle-aged man nodded and smiled: "Not many people come here because of their fame!"
The young man's eyes flashed, and he obviously noticed that there was something in the other person's words. He secretly mobilized the inner energy in his body, and felt the breath of the other person's inner energy.
Helian Haixin frowned slightly. After some inspection, he found that the man in front of him didn't have any inner strength at all. He was obviously an ordinary citizen.
"Haha, I like to hear other people's stories about their deeds. I definitely won't be able to meet this Master Shui, so I asked you to tell me about it!" the young scholar said with a smile.
The tall, thin middle-aged man nodded and said leisurely: "Of course Shui Yuntian is not from here, he is just a teacher."
"Then where is he from?" Helian Haixin's eyes lit up and he asked aloud.
"They say he is from Yinren Town, but I don't think so." The middle-aged man said with a smile.
"Oh?" the young scholar frowned.
"When he arrived, Yinren had not yet been established. At that time, Yinren was defeated in the battle against Tiexin. How could he be sent by Yinren?" The middle-aged man looked at the young man and asked.
"This...it's not necessarily..." the young scholar said, touching his chin.
"I think he seems to be from Yunxi County!" the tall, thin middle-aged man said with a playful look.
He Lianhai was shocked. After hearing the news, his mind was full of thoughts, and he even felt like he had fallen into a trap for a while!
Yunxi County? Who is it?! The Xing family? Impossible!
If it was really Yunxi Town, the implications would be huge!
And my investigation trip may be a conspiracy!
Just when Helian Haixin was stunned on the spot, with cold sweat soaking his back, the middle-aged man said again:
"And I can also guess which family Shui Yuntian belongs to!"
As he spoke, a trace of contentment appeared on the middle-aged man's face.
Helian Haixin's eyes flashed. He calmed down his mind, made his voice less abrupt, and asked slowly: "Uncle, aren't you joking?"
"Hey, how can this be possible? In fact, Shui Yuntian belongs to the Helian family in Yunxi!"
"...Helian family?" The young man looked at each other blankly, and the middle-aged man also had a proud expression on his face, "You didn't expect that?"
"Think about it! Why is he lurking here? Why did he enter Tiexin Village? He is already inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people! Why did he betray Helianbao?" The tall, thin, middle-aged man threw out the three souls.
ask.
"Because he wants to take back the Helian family property! In name, Tiexin Village fell into Yinren's hands. If you ask me, Shui Yuntian must have discussed it with Yinren's senior management. The actual control is still in Shui Yuntian's hands. No, it should be called
Helian Yuntian!" The middle-aged man spoke more and more enthusiastically.
"Uncle, your guess... you can write a book!" Helian Haixin said seriously.
"Oh? Really? Moreover, I think his name Yuntian is also fake. He is probably a powerful person in the Helian family in Yunxi!" the middle-aged man said in a deliberately lowered voice.
At this time, Helian Haixin no longer had much desire to talk nonsense with this middle-aged man, but the other man deliberately lowered his voice and said, obviously wanting him to ask "Who is it" again?
In line with the principle of "don't embarrass the other person, you won't be embarrassed yourself", the young scholar still asked: "Who is that?"
The tall, thin middle-aged man straightened his back and said urgently: "He Lianjing! Who else?!"
The young scholar's face was a bit unsightly, because He Lianjing was his father after all, and he couldn't say anything. He couldn't directly deny the other person's point of view. After all, he couldn't tell the other party directly, and it was impossible for him not to even know his father.
.
The middle-aged man muttered for a long time, Helian Hai looked gloomy and said nothing. Watching the sun go down, the young scholar stood up and left.
The other party found out that the young scholar was leaving, and after a little effort to persuade him to stay, he wanted to give him a gift.
When they reached the exit of the village, the middle-aged man asked with a playful expression: "Mr. Shui is He Lianjing's business. You have to keep it a secret. I don't want to cause death."
Helian Hai smiled heartily and nodded.
When parting, the middle-aged man asked with a smile: "We had a great chat today. I don't know what to call my little friend?"
The young man said calmly: "This junior's surname is Hai. Uncle, just call me Hailian."
The tall, thin middle-aged man nodded, and deliberately took out a pen and wrote the words "Little Friend Hailian" on the white cloth belt tied around his waist.
Since ancient times, scribes had a lot of social interactions, and they didn't even have business cards. They had to get acquainted with each other after drinking at the wine bar, and they had to greet each other as brothers. But at this time, they had already drank a lot. In order to prevent misremembering, or
If you break up after drinking, your name will be written on your belt.
Of course, you don’t just remember each one when you see them, they must be people who have a good conversation with each other.
Seeing this, Helian Hai smiled bitterly in his heart. It seemed that this uncle was really having a good time chatting with him. But he was not that happy. No one would be too happy if he called Shui Yuntian a cheap man for a long time.
However, out of etiquette, the young scholar still asked politely: "I haven't asked yet, how do you call me uncle?"
The tall, thin, middle-aged man put away his brush and said with a smile: "My surname is Zhao, and my name is Zhao Yuntian!"
