Overwhelming mountains and rivers

"Pavilion Master, Jinzhanfeng will be handed over to the Pavilion Master. I hope that the Pavilion Master will let Xue Yuan go inappropriately before and write it off." Dongfang Ce pushed the person in his hand towards the man in white.

Zhu Qing and Bi Yuan quickly stood up from behind the man in white, and grabbed Jinzhanfeng from left to right.

"A write-off? The reputation of this pavilion will not be stained with blood kites just because of a blood kite leader." The man in white stared at Dongfang Ce, letting Jinzhanfeng struggle endlessly in Zhu Qingbiyuan's hands.

"When Dongfang Ce goes back, he will announce to Jianghu that Xueyuan's recent actions will be taken care of by Xueyuan, and will not drag Chenyin Pavilion down in the slightest." Dongfang Ce promised.

"Woooo!" Jinzhan Feng's eyes cracked.

"Okay. It's a deal." The man in white agreed.

"It's a deal. After this, Xueyuan and Guige will not owe each other. Xueyuan will not do anything that will hinder the reputation of Guige in the future, and Guige will not interfere with any mission of Xueyuan." Dongfang Ce and Chenyin Pavilion declared, "You and I, if the tasks conflict in the future, or the rivers and lakes meet, Dongfang Ce will be led by Xueyuan and will never give in."

"It's the same in this pavilion." The man in white looked at Dongfang Ce, his eyes met his coldly, and the cold light seemed to have substance.

Dongfang Ce turned his head to look at Jinzhanfeng who was still struggling, his eyes were dim.He took a deep breath before turning his eyes back.

"Farewell."

Dongfang Ce turned around and jumped into the carriage, swung his whip and rode the horse, and left in the dust.

"You let me go, let's fight alone!" Jinzhanfeng roared.

"You are not worthy." Three cold words spit out from the mouth of the man in white, as cold as ice, with a hint of killing intent.

Jinzhan had a meal, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.

"We don't have any big grudges, but Xueyuan unintentionally ruined Chenyin Pavilion's reputation, why do you have to kill me?" Jin Zhanfeng was a little scared, he didn't want to just die like this.

"Unintentional?" The man asked coldly, his white jade-like fingers were already resting on the white jade flute at his waist, as if they were of the same color, equally translucent white, and equally lustrous.

But in Jinzhanfeng's eyes, it is like a judge's pen on the book of life and death, with just one swipe, it can determine life and death.

"As long as you let me go, I will tell everyone that those people were killed by me, and have nothing to do with Chenyin Pavilion! As long as you are willing to spare my life!"

"Oh? Then tell me first, who did you kill?" The man in white held the jade flute in his hand, pressed it against Jinzhanfeng's chin, and gently raised his chin, his cold eyes pierced through The silver mask faced Calendula coldly.

Even Chu Xuanzhao who was at the side was startled for a moment by such a Chenyin pavilion master.

When Jinzhanfeng finished speaking in great fear, the man in white and Chu Xuanzhao looked at each other, both unexpected and expected.

Because among the people mentioned by Jinzhanfeng, there are no monks from the Bodhisattva Temple.

"Is there anything missing?"

"No! Not really!"

"Didn't you kill the people in the Bodhisattva Temple?" Chu Xuanzhao stepped forward, wanting to confirm the answer to this question.

"Bodhisattva Temple," Jinzhanfeng hesitated, "We didn't kill the people in the Bodhisattva Temple, but—"

"But what?"

"But I do know their whereabouts."

"Then tell me quickly!" Chu Xuanzhao was a little anxious.

"If I say so, will you let me live?" Jinzhan Fengmu looked forward.

Dongfang Ce said that he would not kill himself, as long as he could escape the level of Chenyin Pavilion, he would still live.

The man in white was silent.

Chu Xuanzhao saw that he didn't agree, but he didn't veto it, so he had no choice but to say, "Okay, as long as you tell them where they are, I will let you live."

"They are not dead, they are in Lushan Temple."

"Lushan Temple?"

"Yes. Not only are they alive, but they are the employers who hired blood kites to hunt and kill people." Jinzhanfeng said surprisingly.

"What?" Chu Xuanzhao's eyes widened slightly, but the man in white didn't seem surprised by this.

"The monks in the Lushan Temple are the monks in the Bodhisattva Temple, but they are only the monks who are in charge. Because they are planning an event, they are easy to attract the attention of others in the Bodhisattva Temple, so the design is transferred to the Lushan Temple in the mountains." Jinzhanfeng will Tell what you know, hoping to get yourself a chance to survive.

"The monks at Lushan Temple obeyed King Teng's order and borrowed Zhizhou's hand to recruit young and middle-aged men. I don't know what they did, but I know that they trapped the captured people in the temple, shaved their heads, and pretended to be monks. Now the monks in Lushan Temple, except the monks from the original Bodhisattva Temple, are all the people who were arrested. The monks in the Bodhisattva Temple who are in charge have novice precepts on their heads, and those common people, because they are later, do not have novice precepts on their heads. .”

"In that case, why don't those arrested escape?" Chu Xuanzhao was puzzled. If, as Jinzhanfeng said, there were more arrested than guards, why didn't they run away, but stayed obediently? How about being a monk in Lushan Temple?

"It seems that the monks of the Bodhisattva Temple promised them something, and there were many who refused to stay, but these people were all told by the monks to trade with Xueyuan, and they were dealt with."

"What exactly is King Teng doing? Why does he want so many monks?" Chu Xuanzhao held his chin and muttered to himself.

"Private soldiers." The man in white said indifferently.

Suddenly, Chu Xuanzhao turned to look at the man in white.

"The monk is just an appearance, a kind of cover. What he really does is most likely to use the name of his family to raise private soldiers." The man in white said lightly.

"What you said is very possible. Chu Xuanqing has always been very ambitious and unwilling to be reconciled to the status quo. This may indeed be something he will do." Chu Xuanzhao agreed.

He is the clearest about King Teng's ambitions. When he was in the capital, he only saw him wooing the powerful and powerful everywhere, but he did not expect that he would secretly raise private soldiers here in the south of the Yangtze River.If according to what the Mushan bandit said, hundreds of people were arrested at one time, then apart from Basong County, where the Mushan bandit escaped, there were at least a thousand people in the other two counties.

This is just this state city, so, are there other places?

Chu Xuanzhao's heart turned cold, and he felt that his idea was not impossible.Thinking of the monks who had come and gone frequently in Prince Teng's mansion for more than a year, Chu Xuanzhao sighed, even if there were, it was impossible for him to find them one by one.It's better to start from other aspects after returning to Beijing.

However, monks have been around for more than a year, and there will not be too many such private soldiers.

"I know, I've told you all, can you let me go?" Jinzhanfeng looked at the two of them with hope in his eyes.

"Not a single lie?" The man in white took back the flute that was resting on Jinzhanfeng's chin, and turned it lightly in his hand.

"There are absolutely no lies! Everything I say now is true." Jinzhanfeng repeatedly assured that if his hands and feet were not bound, he might have raised his hands to swear.

"Oh, that's good." The man in white slowly pressed the jade flute to Jinzhanfeng's heart, and the internal force rushed into his heart veins along the jade flute. Jinzhanfeng opened his eyes wide and opened his mouth slightly, as if wanting to Talk, but can't make a sound.

Jinzhanfeng's breath was frozen in disbelief.

The man took the jade flute back, took out a handkerchief and wiped the front of the flute, glanced at Jinzhanfeng's eyes full of disbelief, and explained lightly, "It is he who promised to let you live, not this pavilion."

But Jinzhanfeng couldn't hear this explanation.

If you hear it, you will probably be pissed off.

Chu Xuanzhao slowly came back to his senses, and looked at the man in white beside him, "So, you didn't say anything just because you didn't intend to let him go?"

"He must die." The man in white still spoke calmly.

Chu Xuanzhao was silent.

The man in white looked back at the silent Chu Xuanzhao, "Let's go."

Jinzhanfeng's corpse was quickly disposed of. The people in Chenyin Pavilion never lack experience in killing people and handling corpses.

…………

At dusk, Chu Xuanzhao was still thinking about how to solve the Lushan Temple matter, when he heard the faint sound of the flute coming to his ears.

Chu Xuanzhao walked all the way following the sound, and saw the white figure under the tree, because of the reflection of the setting sun in the evening, it was covered with a halo of red.

The sound of the flute is quiet and desolate, and it seems to be full of unwillingness, resentment and loneliness.

"Master, are you in a bad mood?"

"Ah."

"What's the pavilion master's displeasure, can you tell me?" Chu Xuanzhao asked softly, standing three steps away from him.

"It's just an old thing. Things have changed and people have changed. It's useless to talk too much, but it's just too easy to let go." The man sighed softly.

"Since you can't let it go, why don't you let yourself think about it." Chu Xuanzhao didn't know how to comfort him.

"Thank you." The man in white still thanked him for his kindness.

It was Chu Xuanzhao who always said thank you to him. This was the first time he said thank you to Chu Xuanzhao, and Chu Xuanzhao felt a little awkward.

"The Xueyuan matter is over, and the rest is up to you."

The man in white's voice was a little soft, but it fell into Chu Xuanzhao's ears like thunder on the ground, "You want to go?!"

Chu Xuanzhao's words were almost shouted out, and the man in white couldn't help turning his head to look at him, as if he was a little uncomfortable being aroused by the sound.

"Sorry, I lost my composure." Chu Xuanzhao also realized that his reaction was a little violent.

Hearing this sentence, the man in white actually chuckled, "If I remember correctly, you and I met, and this was the first sentence you said."

Chu Xuanzhao also remembered when the two first met, because he was surprised to see the man in white, and lost his mind for a while, which made the man unhappy, and he also said something out of control.Saying this now makes Chu Xuanzhao feel a little uncomfortable.

The two haven't known each other for a long time, and even up to now they don't know the identity of the man. However, the two cooperated and walked step by step. It is no longer the mutual defense and temptation when they first met.

Chu Xuanzhao was naturally a little disappointed that they were going to be separated like this suddenly.

Although the man said again and again that it was just cooperation, Chu Xuanzhao understood that it was the man who helped him a lot, and there were not many who helped Chenyin Pavilion himself.

During the day-to-day relationship, Chu Xuanzhao could also clearly feel the change in the man's attitude, from being indifferent and cold at the beginning to talking happily after drinking.

"Pavilion Master, are you determined to leave?"

"En. This pavilion has stayed here long enough." The man in white put the jade flute on his waist, and looked into the distance without falling on Chu Xuanzhao.

"Then," Chu Xuanzhao hesitated.

"What?" The man in white still didn't look back.

"Will we meet again?" Chu Xuanzhao still forced himself to ask.

"Maybe, maybe not. You have your own way to go, and this pavilion also has its own way to go." After saying this, the man in white turned his head, seeing Chu Xuanzhao's lonely eyes, he seemed a little bit unbearable , "It's the same sentence, if you need to deal with someone someday, Chenyin Pavilion welcomes you at any time."

Chu Xuanzhao showed a shallow smile, against that unparalleled handsome face, which was extremely dazzling in the setting sun, "So, we will definitely meet again."

The man in white couldn't help but slightly hooked his lips.

…………

That night, Chu Xuanzhao couldn't sleep all night, and when he thought of the man in white who was about to leave, he couldn't help but feel sad.

However, Chu Xuanzhao also understood that what the white-clothed man said was correct, they all had their own ways to go and their own things to do, no matter which one of them, it was impossible for them to stop at one place.

Chu Xuanzhao couldn't sleep, so he simply put on his robe and planned to go out for a walk.

When he opened the door, he saw a figure sitting in front of the door.

"Mo Yi?"

"My lord?" Mo Yi turned around in surprise.

"Why are you sitting here?"

"They have all been sent out and haven't come back yet. There is only one person left by the prince. Now the Bodhisattva Temple is not like before. There are so many people living here, and there are too many people. I am afraid that someone will hurt the prince, so I will guard it for the prince. Door."

"You, have you been here for the past two days?" Chu Xuanzhao felt a little distressed.He guards at the gate of the temple during the day and at the gate of his own room at night, when will he rest?

"No, Mo Yi went to sleep the night the prince went out."

That was two nights of sleepless nights.

"Don't watch, you go and rest."

"But, my lord—"

"This is an order." Chu Xuanzhao knew Mo Yi's temper, and only when he said this would he listen to himself and go to rest.

"...Yes, Mo Yi obeyed."
