Sealing Sword

Pedestrians come and go in the market, and there is endless noise of hawkers. You can vaguely smell the fragrance and fragrance from wineries and teahouses, as if the whole city is peaceful and prosperous without haze.

It's a pity that late autumn is approaching winter, the sun is fading west, and night will soon fall.

Hearing the sound of deliberately heavy footsteps on the wooden floor, Ying Xiu looked back and poured some hot water into the small stove on the table.

A moment later, someone pushed the door open, one was two steps behind, and the one who arrived first sat down opposite her with his hem lifted, grabbed the wine pot on the stove, and poured out a cup of hot wine.

Yingxiu raised her eyes, and her gaze first turned around on Sun Minfeng - the ghost doctor who was chatting and joking with her was standing behind the others at this moment, his face was still lazy, but he restrained his profligacy and increased his strength. A little more stable.

Sun Minfeng looks kind, but in fact the city government has a deep heart and a lot of eyes. His whole body is as resilient as twisted bulrushes. It is rare to see him willingly retreating behind someone.

The person sitting in front of him must be the master of the Hundred Ghosts Sect.

The Hundred Ghosts Sect has been entrenched in Zhongdu for many years, and its foundation is not inferior to that of Anyu. Both of them are doing shady night business, and they have fought openly and secretly for many times. It stands to reason that they should be "old friends".It's just that An Yu has a special position, and needs to be divided into different forces to sneak carefully, and he backed down a few times before Bai Guimen took hold of him.

However, avoiding for a while cannot be avoided for a lifetime, not to mention that Yingxiu is more willing to fight than the conservative Jiang Muxue.When she took power six years ago, she deliberately wanted to root the power of Mingzhu Gambling in the center and get a piece of the profit from that land of interests extending in all directions. A bloodbath was carried out, and the internal ailments were pulled out with the courage of Shougong and Duanwei, crushing and obliterating all hidden dangers, large and small.

That year, the Hundred Ghosts Sect's vitality was seriously injured, and they had to shrink their forces to recuperate within the Central Capital.At that time, Yingxiu, who was still full of vigor, felt that the opportunity was inevitable and he should take advantage of it, but was firmly suppressed by Jiang Muxue, and looked on coldly at the other forces that entered the capital.

In less than half a year, those forces came and counted one by one, and they were all defeated and annexed one by one. The Hundred Ghosts Sect, which was supposed to be lingering on its last breath, still had enough power to stretch out its claws and claws at those who trespassed in hell like a ghost in the underworld. Those who come back with a big victory, and those who have been crushed are like stones thrown into the rivers and lakes, without even stirring up bigger waves.

From that time on, Yingxiu knew clearly that the sky above Baiguimen had changed.

Dang Duan constantly suffers from its chaos. The Hundred Ghosts Sect is different from the strict system and deep dark feathers. Most of the people in the door are aliens gathered from all over the world. Most of them have perverted personalities. It is common to disobey orders , since the first generation of sect masters, suppression has been the main focus, but all of this is worse than being blocked.

The long-term suppression has made the Hundred Ghosts Sect begin to decay. If these hidden dangers continue to be allowed to breed, they will eventually kill themselves.

Behind these iron-blooded methods is naturally the support of the old sect master Shen Wudu, but the new Chu sect master who stood on the cusp of the storm and sneered at Dao Feng made Yingxiu even more concerned.

It's a pity that she has been sitting in Mingzhu Casino all year round, and Chu Xiwei's whereabouts are a mystery, and this is the first time the two have met.

Chu Xiwei was younger than she expected, she looked to be in her early twenties, her hair was tied up in a jade hairpin, and the loose part looked like a toppled inkstone.His face was a little pale, with slender eyebrows and almond eyes, and he was so good-looking that he implied a bit of a monster, but he didn't have any femininity, but an aggressive and sharp feeling.

The man opened his mouth slowly: "Miss, did you go to such lengths to ask Chu to come here just to open your eyes?"

He was dressed in a dark blue light robe with dark patterns, and he wore a pleasing green jade finger on his right hand. When he rubbed the white porcelain wine glass, he made a soft sound, like plucking a string on a Yaoqin, neither slow nor urgent.However, in response to his voice, it fell on Ying Xiu's ears like a blade piercing the wind, making a sharp tearing sound, which made her immediately avert her eyes and calm down.

She raised her red lips: "My family and Master Trumen have been friends for a long time, it's rare to see each other this time, and I was greedy for a while."

The beauty is like a jade with a smile like a flower, but the corner of the man's lips curled up, not showing her face: "You can take a few more glances and don't say what you want to say. Whether I can fulfill your wish is another matter."

Ying Xiu covered her mouth with one hand, her eyes lingering: "Master Chu is so puzzled."

The man put down his wine glass: "Amorous feelings are the hypocrisy of acting on the spot, and do you need this kind of thing between us?"

What an unpleasant man.

Ying Xiu lowered her eyelids, and after a few words of conversation, she knew that there was a cold and sharp man in front of her. This kind of man was not only inhuman, but also hard to chew like a rock.

However, the more this kind of man is like this, the more he should calm down and wait for the changes. Right now, he is even stingy with acting on every occasion, which can only show that the other party has already understood his purpose of coming, and is also very anxious because of some things.

Yingxiu was thinking in her mind, and in the blink of an eye, she had figured out [-]-[-]% of Chu Xiwei's personality, but she missed a little bit——

It was Ye Fusheng who came, not Chu Xiwei.

In the medical hall, when Erniang came in with the information to talk, Ye Fusheng had already noticed that there was someone outside the door, but that person had no murderous intent on him, nor did he intend to escape.

After thinking about it for a while, Ye Fusheng kept his composure, and while speaking eight parts of the truth and two parts of the nonsense, he paid attention to that person.

However, after he finished speaking, the man didn't intend to leave the report, Ye Fusheng simply clarified the situation, and when Erniang pushed the door and went out, he saw Sun Minfeng, whose whereabouts were unknown in the information.

This time Chu Xiwei entrusted him to come to Garan City, firstly to deal with "Hundred Foot" and guard the way back, and secondly also for Sun Minfeng. After all, on Wenchan Mountain, where the situation is treacherous, without Sun Minfeng who is both a doctor and a poisoner, it would be a bit stretched.

Erniang was still having a headache, but she didn't expect that Sun Minfeng would follow her back after going out.Surprised, Er Niang was vigilant and prepared to take the person down before asking questions to avoid trouble, but Sun Mifeng smiled at Ye Fusheng: "Your time is coming."

The ghost doctor has seen countless living and dead people in his life. His hands are like a judge's pen and the book of life and death, and he has gone through countless births, old ages, illnesses and deaths.Even if Ye Fusheng could bear it no matter how much he could endure, the constant episodes of "youmeng" had already pushed him to the edge of the cliff, and he would soon be unable to retreat, falling into the abyss of eternal doom, from then on his body would be smashed to pieces, and he would never wake up from sleep.

Ye Fusheng was sure that outsiders would not be able to see the clues, and he could even hide it from Chu Xiwei, but he couldn't fool Sun Mifeng who had been watching and hearing about patients all the year round and knew his situation like the palm of his hand.

When he said this, Ye Fusheng knew that this person must not be a fake.

People are true, but they cannot be trusted.But before he could ask, Sun Minfeng had already stretched out his hand to him, saying: "The person who saved me didn't do nothing for nothing, and he let me back to meet the master of the Hundred Ghosts. If I don't see anyone this evening, I will die."

Ye Fusheng probed his wrist veins, and found that Sun Mifeng had an extra yin and cold internal force, entrenched in a strange acupoint and a major vein. It was fine when he was not attacking, but if he lost control, his heart veins would freeze and crack, causing his blood to condense and he would die.

Sun Minfeng is good at treating poisons, but his own martial arts are only ordinary, and he has no foundation to suppress his internal strength. Using acupuncture alone may damage his vitality, and it will take a lot of effort to recover.So after he was recruited, he didn't rush to think of a solution, but obediently acted as a messenger, but he didn't expect that the one who came to Jialan City was not his master, but Ye Fusheng.

Chu Xiwei may have never encountered such an internal force, but it was not the first time Ye Fusheng had seen it.

It's not that there is no such skill in the world, it's just that people who have practiced to the level of transformation have not heard of it, but if we only talk about masters, Ye Fusheng has seen two people ten years ago.

One is Jiang Muxue, the master of dark feathers, and the other is her disciple Yingxiu.

Right now, Yingxiu is in Jialan City, so there is no other way to secretly provide information to the hidden pile of Baiguimen, and use Sun Mifeng as a person to blackmail the message.

Ye Fusheng just didn't understand, why did Yingxiu want to meet Chu Xiwei, or...why did Anyu want to connect with Baiguimen?

He has never been a person who doesn't like to make wild guesses, not to mention there are not many ways out now, and he will never let it go if he can find one.Ye Fusheng changed his attire, covered his voice, appearance, energy and spirit with a seamless shell, stepped a little bit to meet Yingxiu.

Putting on this layer of disguise, he stripped himself from the identity of "Ye Fusheng", and faced Yingxiu with Chu Xiwei's words and deeds. If Sun Minfeng didn't know who he was under his skin, he might have been caught like Yingxiu. in the dark.

Ye Fusheng looked at Yingxiu, and evaluated his interests and position as if he were looking at a stranger: "Mingzhu Gambling House has always been a gamble of winning or losing, and we are neither enemies nor friends. Miss Yingxiu This time it took a lot of effort to save the ghost doctor, firstly because he has control over the movements of 'Hundred Foot', and secondly because he may have plans for my Hundred Ghosts Sect."

Ying Xiu chuckled, and suddenly her upper body swayed, and her bare hands lightly brushed Sun Minfeng's heart, her internal energy penetrated to dissipate the cold internal energy, then she turned and sat down, took a sip of her wine glass.

Yuxue's cheeks were stained red, and she said with full sleeves: "The business of the gambling shop is naturally a gamble, but this time I can't be the banker, and I'm too weak to suppress the bargaining chip, so I want to borrow the help of Master Chu gone."

Ye Fusheng raised his eyes: "Even if you can get rich by gambling, you may go bankrupt. The girl is used to being a gambler, but we are not."

Yingxiu smiled softly: "Ming people don't speak dark words. Master Chu came to Jialan City this time, and he should have discovered the clues behind the curtain of the martial arts conference. Fighting for the fisherman's profit, you have to watch out for the oriole behind your back."

Ye Fusheng's eyes darkened.

Yingxiu is used to observing words and expressions, seeing this, he said: "To tell you the truth, Mingzhu Gambling Workshop is also considered a local snake in Jialan City. I have full control over the big and small things in this city. It's better than a newcomer to the Hundred Ghosts Sect." It's convenient."

Ye Fusheng said slowly: "Do you want to cooperate with me, or... Mingzhu Gambling Workshop wants to use the Hundred Ghosts Sect to make a knife to cut off the hands and feet of the Burial Soul Palace."

Yingxiu said: "It seems that Master Chu and I should be friends."

"Hundred Ghost Gate and Burying Soul Palace have long had conflicts. The success or failure of this battle is very important, and the gains and losses are still uncertain. But as far as Chu knows, Mingzhu Gambling House has never had much trouble with Buried Soul Palace. Why do you want to enter this muddy water? ?”

"The situation is beyond your control, and the overall situation is beyond your control." Yingxiu looked up, "Mingzhu Gambling is a place to do business, but no matter how much money you make, you have to live to spend it."

Ye Fusheng squinted his eyes: "Galan City is going to have a big incident."

"It seems that Master Chu has taken those information to heart." Yingxiu carried the pot to refill one for him, and then took out something from the cloth bag under the table and pushed it over, "Then, let the master take a look." this thing."

Ye Fusheng opened the wrapped white cloth, only to find a gold medal and a jade pendant inside.

The piece of mutton fat jade pendant was moist to the touch, with the word "Yuan" engraved on it, it was a token of the King of Rites, Chu Yuan.

Ye Fusheng's pupils shrank.

"Master Chumen is well-informed, so he must recognize these two things." Yingxiu's finger brushed lightly over the object, "Yesterday, a group of people came from the north and sneaked into Jialan City, even intending to enter the eunuch at night. The government didn't know what to do, so they asked me to take it halfway, and found this jade pendant from one of them. After I sent people to follow the vines, I found out that these people had a stronghold in the city. Unfortunately, the big fish inside had already slipped away. Some of the gold and silver that cannot be moved away is already quite large... They all say 'money touches people's hearts'. These people have unknown origins, but they were able to collect a large amount of property in Jialan City in a short period of time, and they even entered the greedy and lustful man with the anti-wang jade pendant at night. The eunuch's mansion, Master Chu, what are they going to do?"

Ye Fusheng's face sank like water, and he said coldly: "Although I have lived in the central capital for a long time, I have also heard that the governor of Jialan City, Zheng Taishou, regards money as his life. Although he does not search for people's fat and anointing, he is indeed a villain who is greedy for money and profit. He He does not have the courage to make trouble, but he does not have the backbone to fear power and wealth. If a rebel intends to lure each other with money and force him, he must be a begging dog."

After a pause, Ye Fusheng smiled grimly: "The Prince of Rites, Chu Yuan, will rebel soon."

Yingxiu's expression turned cold: "I intercepted the jade pendant, killed his people, and temporarily blocked the news, but the back and forth can only be delayed for three to five days. There is no guarantee that Chu Yuan will not jump the wall in a hurry, and the war in northern Xinjiang is not far away. .”

Unexpectedly, Ye Fusheng imitated Chu Xiwei's sarcasm, and curled his lips: "Miss Yingxiu has a compassionate heart, but the war in the court naturally has those people who worry about eating the imperial rations and military pay. Mind meddling too much?"

"Master Chumen is right. It has nothing to do with us who sits on the dragon chair in the royal family, but..." Yingxiu changed the subject, and moved the jade pendant away with her fingers, revealing the whole picture of the gold medal, "It's not my race. It must be different, foreign enemies want to move, and there is chaos in the southwest, does this have nothing to do with me and the people of Great Chu?"

Hexagonal gold medal, carved with a five-headed snake, engraved with the word "Ling" on the back, stained with dried blood.

Outside Xichuan Pass, separated by mountains and land, is where the foreign races in the southwest are located. Their folk customs are fierce and fierce, and they have worshiped the five-headed snake god for generations.

"This gold medal is an advance order." The smile on Yingxiu's face disappeared, "20 days ago, some Hu merchants entered the city to buy and sell. I found out that their business was fake, and I found out that the situation in the city was true, so when they left the city, Send people to intercept, those businessmen...all of them are masters of martial arts."

In the previous dynasty, foreigners entered the customs. They refused to obey and refused to obey. The Central Plains fell into chaos for a while, and then the rebel army rose up. Finally, the Great Chu Gaozu led the army to overthrow the previous dynasty. The foreign tribes fought back outside the Xichuan Pass. Although there have been intrusions so far, they are all private actions of some small tribes. It is neither painful nor itchy.

However, since the time of the first emperor, the Great Chu and the Northern Man have gained the upper hand in the border wars for many years.In that battle, the Beiman almost exhausted all its remaining power, and almost broke through the cold and closed the door, but Ye Fusheng killed the coach Hutar, who was the crown prince of the Beiman. This death not only disrupted the battle situation, but also caused the Beiman to scramble for power. No peace.

Because of this, even if Chu Yuan will rebel, Ye Fusheng is not worried that Beijiang will be taken advantage of. On the contrary, if King Duan can use chess well, he will use Chu Yuan's rebellion as a cover to reorganize the military affairs of Beijiang, and even It is also necessary to confuse foreign enemies and then set up an ambush. At that time, the disturbance of foreign enemies in northern Xinjiang will be settled.

But he didn't expect that the foreign race in the southwest would have an accident at this time.

Suddenly there was a thunderstorm outside the window, and a bleak autumn rain was coming.
