After crossing, I suppressed the shadow guard who wanted to kill me

==============================

Jing Lingzhi was standing at the door of the study with the sword box that had been tidied up and covered with a cover, only to realize that there were other people in the study.He took a few steps back so as not to accidentally overhear the conversation inside, and after a little thought, he guessed that this person was most likely Du Hongxuan, the Lord of the Shang Pavilion.

Du Hongxuan is a person with low martial arts skills, a round body, and a simple and honest appearance, which is easy to be liked by others. He has a unique vision for merchants and has won the trust of the previous leader. .He is tactful and has a delicate mind. Everyone in Hengjiao can chat with him, and he has a lot of twists and turns. Fortunately, he still does his best for Hengjiao.Jing Lingzhi did not expect that he would stab the master in front of Qingyang County so quickly.

It's not that you can't tell the master.At that time, Su Yuqi Su's old leader left suddenly. The master ascended the throne when he was young, and he used thunderous means to clean up Hengjiao inside and outside, and spent several years stabilizing and regulating Hengjiao's conduct.Judging from the current information, this dispute is really not a big deal.

In the house, Su Hongyu read the words on the paper line by line while listening to the report.

To be honest, Su Hongyu was a little confused when the Lord of the Shang Pavilion asked to see him.He hadn't finished practicing calligraphy, and the original owner's memory was only half turned, and he didn't know much about Hengjiao.Besides, Su Hongyu is currently in a semi-retired state, and there is nothing in the Hengjiao that requires him to come forward, and Jing Ling is there.It is normal for the original owner to be undisturbed for ten days and a half months. He never expected that something would happen to Hengjiao after he came?

Be ignorant, people still have to see each other.

A rich old man came in, with a round face and a round belly, short beard, half-white hair meticulously groomed, and a suit of plain clothes, with only a fish-shaped jade pendant on his waist.As soon as he came in, he first bowed and bowed: "I have seen the leader."

"Mr. Du, please get up." The two of them took their seats and ordered the servant to bring freshly brewed tea. Then Su Hongyu asked: "What's the matter this time?"

"The leader is not in good health. The little old man shouldn't disturb the cleanliness of the leader. It's just that the fact is strange, so I came here to visit." Du Hongxuan took out a piece of folded paper from his sleeve and handed it to Su Hongyu, "The little old man today I received the news earlier that a caravan from the Shang Pavilion clashed with people from the Huashan faction in Qingyang County for some reason, and more than [-] people were killed, and the only person in the team escaped."

This information is written on paper.Su Hongyu's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help frowning.The tip of his hand holding the paper turned slightly white from the force, and the back of his hand was covered with cold sweat.More than [-] people died. In modern times, the death of so many people is already a major event that detonated the whole society. It will definitely attract the attention of the whole country.

But in this era, it's just a passing sentence.Even, Su Hongyu glanced at Du Hongxuan, and if it wasn't for some problem, he wouldn't even be able to see this fluffy sentence.He should really be thankful that Su Hongyu is the leader of Hengjiao, and he has a lot of prestige.Otherwise, how many days can he survive in this dangerous world of martial arts?

After calming down, Su Hongyu continued to read.It was written on the paper that on a road in the suburbs, a caravan of people from the Donghua faction bumped into each other head-on, and no one wanted to give way, so a dispute arose.The two sides went from quarreling to using force, and finally Donghua sent a murderer to leave.A clever fellow secretly ran back to Qingyang County to ask for help, and when the reinforcements arrived, everyone had already been killed.The guy was scared out of his wits on the spot, and he became a little stupid, and he didn't get better until the information was sent out.

"This information doesn't seem to be inappropriate." The cause, process, and result are clearly written.

"It seems so." Du Hongxuan took a sip of tea, "This steward is called Li Ye. He is cautious by nature, acts low-key, and does not easily cause troubles. Therefore, he has never made a mistake in leading the team in the past few years. From the perspective of the little old man , even if the Donghua faction takes the lead, Li Ye will probably take a step back, just in case."

This character is at odds with intelligence.Su Hongyu nodded.

Du Hongxuan continued: "Furthermore, there are more than ten guards in the caravan, and many of them are good players. It stands to reason that even if the Donghua faction has a large number of people, they shouldn't wipe out the entire army. This is not so much unintentional. , it would be better to say that it is murder.”

This is indeed another doubtful point.

"Finally, Qingyang County is not far from where our Hengjiao Changshan is. The caravan moves slowly, and it only takes two days to get there. It borders my religion, and the relationship with my religion is tense. Even if you do business, you will not penetrate so deep into the hinterland of my religion. The goods that were robbed are just ordinary jade jewelry, so it is not worth the trouble. Elder Yi Xiao Look, there must be articles in it."

But after a while, murders, robbery, framing, conspiracy and conspiracies, and even James Bond in 007 swayed in his mind.He thought for a moment, then asked: "According to what Old Man Du said, if the Donghua faction really did it on purpose, why did the guy stay alone? But what's wrong with this guy?"

"This little old man couldn't figure it out, so he turned to the leader for help." Du Hongxuan shook his head and sighed softly, "I hope the little old man is worrying too much. Otherwise, alas..."

"Elder Du, don't worry, I will send someone to investigate and make preparations early." Su Hongyu agreed to this matter.

"So, the little old man can rest assured." After talking about the business, Du Hongxuan obviously relaxed, "It seems that the leader's complexion is not good, but has anyone seen it?"

"Yi Bo came to see him, and said that he was short of energy and blood, so he can take care of it slowly." Su Hongyu was vigilant, and quietly dragged out the white-bearded old man Yi Yuan whom he had seen recently as a shield.

"Master Yige is skilled in medicine. If he says so, then there will be no serious problems." He stroked his beard with a smile: "I wish the leader a speedy recovery."

"Borrow old auspicious words from Du." It seems that he has passed the test?

Du Hongxuan got up to leave: "The little old man won't bother the leader any more, so let's leave."

After all, he is of the same generation as the original owner's father, and the original owner also respects him a lot.Su Hongyu stood up and wanted to see the person to the door.

Du Hongxuan waved his hand and shied away: "The teacher's self-cultivation is important, and there is no need to send him away."

Su Hongyu couldn't help it, so he called the servant and ordered him to send him to the gate of the courtyard.

As soon as Du Hongxuan came out of the study, he saw Jing Lingzhi not far away holding something and waiting for an unknown amount of time. He nodded and said hello: "Commander Jing."

"Lord Du."

"Just now I see the leader's aura is a little gentle, not as cold and sharp as before. Commander Jing, do you know why?" If it used to be the wind whistling and swirling on the high mountains, today there is only white snow on the high mountains. Although it is cold, there is no cutting edge The sharpness of the face.

"Maybe Master's martial arts has improved." Jing Lingzhi replied, secretly paying attention.

Du Hongxuan saw that his speech and actions were the same as usual, and felt that he might be a little paranoid because of the Qingyang County incident. After thinking about it for a while, he let it go: "It's so good, it's so good. Commander Jing, don't let it go." .”

Jing Lingzhi watched Du Hongxuan leave, then straightened his expression, and raised his voice, "Jing Lingzhi, I want to see you."

"come in."

Jing Lingzhi cleverly pushed the door open, and put the sword case on the desk: "This subordinate has sealed the sword of the leader."

"So fast?" Su Hongyu looked up, and there was a black package with no visible material on the table, "You can find a safe place in the study and put it away." He was still immersed in the conversation with Du Hongxuan just now, a little Thinking back a little bit whether there was any inappropriate response, I didn't realize it.

Jing Lingzhi took down the sword he picked out by himself from his waist, and held it up with both hands: "This subordinate picked out another sword for the master, I don't know what the master wants."

"Sword?" Su Hongyu finally recovered, "Let me see."

The black scabbard is made of wood, unpretentious, but the mouth and bottom of the scabbard are decorated with silver metal, which is not only beautiful, but also protects the scabbard from the wear and tear of the sword body.He took the sword in his left hand, held the hilt in his right hand, and drew the sword out of its sheath.This sword is slightly different from the previous one, the blade is wider and the weight is different, but it is still a good sword with a hair-cutting handle.Lightly waving a few times in the air, the feeling of using it is also different.But it's enough for him at this stage.

Su Hongyu took a sword flower in his hand, put the sword back into its sheath, and turned around to get the information about the friendly sponsorship of the Shang Pavilion master. right hand.

In Jing Lingzhi's eyes, time suddenly slowed down. The man stood casually in the middle of the room holding a sword, loosely pulled out a sword flower, and then looked down at the sword in his hand, neither sad nor happy, like a distant The floating clouds on the mountain, like the falling snow on the top of the mountain, are far away and elusive, just like...

"Master..." Jing Lingzhi murmured.

"What?" Su Hongyu turned around and asked suspiciously.

Inadvertently, Jing Lingzhi's heart trembled when he met Su Hongyu's eyes.Against the light, the man's face was blurred and he couldn't see clearly, only his eyes were clear and transparent, just looking at it, it only made people feel relieved, as if even the world had become gentle.

Realizing his gaffe, Jing Lingzhi suddenly lowered his head and denied it flatly: "No, it's nothing." After finishing speaking, he felt that something was wrong, and leaned over to apologize, "This subordinate made a slip of the tongue."

"It's okay. Come and take a look at this." Su Hongyu just asked casually, handed him the paper in his hand, and briefly recounted Du Hongxuan's guess just now.

Jing Ling's eyes were full of ten lines, and he knew it clearly in his heart. His guess was correct, and it was indeed for the affairs of Qingyang County.He said: "At this time, my subordinates already know about it. This subordinate thinks what Pavilion Master Du said is very true, and has sent Ying Wu to investigate, and there will be results in a few days."

Su Hongyu nodded: "Thank you."

"It's the job of the subordinate."

"How are you preparing for this sword practice?" The rain is coming, and if a big change is about to happen, Su Hongyu always hopes to have something with martial arts by his side.Du Hongxuan's words sounded the alarm for him, and finally calmed down his feverish head since this morning.There are lofty sentiments in the rivers and lakes, not to mention blood splattered three feet.At the very least, he doesn't want to become someone else's wronged soul.

"It can start tomorrow morning."

"That's great." Su Hongyu's face was overjoyed, and then he remembered something, and he was a little embarrassed, "Governor Du came suddenly today, I don't know if he saw something."

Pavilion Master Du?Jing Lingzhi was surprised.I have never mentioned the name of the Pavilion Master of the Shang Pavilion. Presumably, Pavilion Master Du would not call himself by his name in front of the master, so how did the master know that his surname is Du?If you think about it carefully, there are actually many doubts like this.The master knows Su Qi, Ying Yi and the others, and he is not completely unfamiliar with various places in Hengjiao.At least, the master found the extremely hidden shadow guard camp without anyone leading him.The master also knows the name and taboo of the leader, he is quite familiar with the study room and the living room furnishings, and he also knows something about the Donghua School, not to mention the calligraphy and the habit of holding the sword... Over time, the master's body Not only did the doubts not decrease, but they increased a lot.

With a flash of thought in his mind, Jing Lingzhi just replied: "Master, don't worry. The subordinates think that Pavilion Master Du didn't notice." That's all, he told about the confrontation between himself and Du Hongxuan just now.

Su Hongyu was silent for a moment, looked at the person in front of him, and said, "Thank you."

"It's the job of the subordinate."

In Su Hongyu's impression, from the first meeting to the present, it seems that no matter what happens, Jing Lingzhi has always been as he is now, dressed in black, calm in every way, as calm as a rock on the seashore, even if it is stormy, I am calm deal with it.

Su Hongyu was stunned for a moment, turned his head away from staring at the man, and said: "After practicing the sword, tell me about Hengjiao."

"Subordinates obey."
