Weicheng snow

"What's the madness at noon!" Master Liu's loud voice suddenly came from outside the window. Yi Qingchen heard the sound and looked over, and saw Master Liu staring at him fiercely at the other end of the window. The latter said, "Sleep comfortably Come out to help, on this rainy day, you have to go a long way to get a file, and you still smash things randomly, do you want to toss the old bones of being a teacher to death?"

Yi Qingchen turned over and got off the bed, and said in a hoarse voice, "Here we come." His feet were barely touching the ground, and he felt dizzy for a while. He finally supported the wall to stabilize his figure, but the itching in his throat spread along the veins Come.

Coughing and panting for a while, even Master Liu couldn't listen anymore, "It's alright, I don't bother you little ancestor to work, the yamen has to take care of the old man's dignitaries in the afternoon, so just lie down and go."

"Master." Yi Qingchen suddenly called Master Liu, "Your Yanjia, can you really block everyone?"

The question blurted out, not only Yi Qingchen, but also Liu Seqing fell silent.

The latter asked after a while, "Why do you have such a question?"

Yi Qingchen replied truthfully, "There was a thief at home last night." He leaned against the bed frame, his head was a little drowsy, he stretched out his hand and gestured randomly for a while, "You told me that there are hidden traps everywhere in the courtyard, if you don't know the distribution, sorry It’s hard for him to get out alive even if he’s an immortal. Only you know the distribution of organs, even I don’t remember all of them, so how can I just avoid mentioning it?”

Master Liu tapped on the wooden handrail and thought for a long time, then suddenly laughed, "What did that thief steal from you?" Yi Qingchen shook his head, Master Liu asked again, "Is there anything in this house worthy of that thief's attack?" The master and apprentice looked at each other and smiled, Yi Qingchen shook his head again and again.Master Liu's attitude was very indifferent, "It's neither seeking money nor killing life, so let him go."

Outside the courtyard, the sound of iron wind chimes colliding again, Master Liu understood, and urged Yi Qingchen to say, "It seems that the arrester Jiang has arrived soon, you should change your clothes and wash up, and then take that cart of Yanjia with you." Go to the front yard."

Yi Qingchen was carrying the washbasin and was going to the back kitchen to boil hot water. As soon as his front feet stepped out of the threshold, he turned around and said, "Master, you can pick up Brother Jiang for me first, don't leave him alone."

Master Liu said impatiently, "Worry! Why do you need to talk too much?"

Jiang Zhige came earlier than the agreed time, and seeing Master Liu who answered the door, his shock was beyond words, but Master Liu didn't care about the attitude of these juniors, he just said to him, "That kid Qingchen was tired last night. I'm awake, I got up late, I'm going to wash up now, sit in the room, the old man wants to ask you something."

Master Liu was originally fierce, and with his loud voice and straightforward speech, he had already become a monster that was passed on by children. Even adults were afraid of him. Jiang Zhige faced Liu Seqing alone. After the initial shock, he was not afraid. , but smiled very politely, "It's the younger generation who came too early, Mr. Yi, just prepare slowly. If you have any questions, Mr. Zhi Ge will know everything."

Liu Seqing stroked his beard in satisfaction, and led Jiang Zhige towards the house. Just after taking a few steps, he felt a strange sensation from the bottom of the latter's feet. When he lowered his head again, an iron claw emerged from the ground, pulling firmly Hold Jiang Zhige's ankle.Jiang Zhige twitched his foot vigorously, only drawing the iron claws tighter.

Jiang Zhige was in pain, and looked at Liu Seqing who had already arrived in the house in puzzlement, "Mr. Chan Ji, what do you mean?"

Liu Seqing narrowed her eyes, "It's just to test the old man's mechanism, it won't hurt the life of Captain Jiang."

Jiang Zhige still wanted to speak, but a bone-piercing iron spike shot out from under the eaves on the right, he couldn't dodge it, so he had to draw his knife to block it.The iron spikes fell into the ground after being knocked into the air, but a row of crossbows rested on the corrugated wall. Jiang Zhige hurriedly swung his knife to break off the iron claws. One flew into the air, rolled left and right, and finally disappeared under the corridor. The rain of arrows just stopped However, the clothes have been torn through three or five holes.

Liu Seqing applauded for him, "Captain Jiang is very skilled, and it's really a blessing for Weicheng to have you alone."

Jiang Zhige was very puzzled, "Forgive Zhige for being dull, please ask Mr. Chan Ji to clarify."

Liu Seqing said, "Do you think the old man's mechanism is powerful?"

Jiang Zhige said, "Naturally, you are very powerful. Everyone in the Jianghu knows about the deeds of you and the Eagle King Yufeng. You are truly a peerless hero, which is far beyond the reach of younger generations."

"Don't talk about those useless things." Liu Seqing was very tired of those false names and didn't want to mention more, "I ask you, how many people in this world can avoid this mechanism?"

Jiang Zhige showed embarrassment, "This... there are countless people with abilities higher than Zhige..."

Liu Seqing agreed, "How many people are there who won't easily trigger the mechanism?"

Jiang Zhige sifts through everything he has known and heard in this life, and finally only comes up with one answer, "Yi Baixue?" The three words blurted out, but Liu Seqing looked at him and smiled.Jiang Zhige was a little confused, but Liu Seqing felt that the answer was absurd, after all, the person who broke in last night could never be Yi Baixue.

Then there is only one possibility left, that person has lightness kung fu comparable to that of Yi Baixue, if he pretends to be Yi Baixue, how many people in the world will not believe it?

Jiang Zhige obviously realized that something was wrong, and tentatively asked, "But what happened last night?"

Liu Seqing wasn't talkative at all, so she became tired after asking the question, "It's best not to get involved in this matter with your strength, maybe you can mention it if the little girl Yu Zhao is present."

Unexpectedly, these words hit Jiang Zhige's sore spot. He clenched his fists and showed unwillingness, "Mr. Chan Ji, my long-cherished wish in my life is to bring that ghost-faced gentleman to justice, and I can do whatever it takes. But right now, if Even a few thieves in that area are unable to deal with it, so how can we talk about arresting Mr. Ghost Face? If Mister thinks highly of me, please give me another chance."

Liu Seqing judged him with the gaze of a newborn calf, "Why did you arrest that ghost-faced gentleman? For fame? Or for the so-called righteous way?" A thin haze shrouded Zhong Ye, "He killed my parents."

Having said this, Liu Seqing understood the firmness in the young man's eyes, and said, "If the old man told you that there was a thief at home last night, and the thief came and went freely and did not touch the old man's organs, what would you think?" ?”

Jiang Zhige immediately asked, "Mr. Chan Ji's brothers in the same clothes, are you injured?" Seeing Liu Seqing shaking his head, Jiang Zhige deduced, "Then this person must not be that bloodthirsty ghost-faced gentleman, but he can reach this level of skill , if it wasn't Brother Yi and Ghost-faced Lord, it could only be the Jade-faced Flying Fox who is as famous as him. This person is very cunning, and his name as a knight-errant is quite controversial. Even now, the court has not issued a clear arrest order... ..”

"Brother Jiang, what are you talking about?" Yi Qingchen came from the backyard wrapped in clothes, it was still difficult to walk in a straight line, but he was more energetic than when he first woke up.On the way to the two of them, I glanced across the entire courtyard from the corner of my eye, and everything I saw was a mess.Yi Qingchen picked up the crossbow at his feet (this thing also needs to be shielded) and the arrow (where is it sensitive??), quite puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Zhige said, "It's all my fault that I accidentally stepped on it..." Liu Seqing interrupted Jiang Zhige's excuse, and told the truth, "It's my waywardness, I asked little brother Jiang to help me try the mechanism Effect."

Yi Qingchen admired him immediately, "I have experienced Master's mechanism before, Brother Jiang is really hiding it."

Jiang Zhige was ashamed, "Where is it, you can't compare to Brother Yi. But Brother Yi, you... you seem to be looking a little unwell, but you are in a bad health? Can you still go to the robbery meeting?"

Yi Qingchen patted his chest, "After sleeping, I'm already sober. Brother Jiang doesn't have to worry, Qingchen will definitely do what he promised. It's getting late, when is Brother Jiang going to leave?"

Jiang Zhige looked at the sky, it was sinking day by day, it was the time of You, "If Brother Yi doesn't object, let's do it now."

The location of the Pirates Association is extremely hidden. In Jiang Zhige's words, even he doesn't know the exact location. Zhaoyu only told him to take Yi Qingchen to Luohe Academy on Danqing Street, and the rest will be left to the Ouchi guards deal with.

The two of them walked all the way, but before the hour of Xu, there were fewer residents wandering along the way than yesterday, and there were only a few shops open for business. The whole Weicheng seemed to have become quite dilapidated overnight.

Yi Qingchen stood at the entrance of Danqing Street, looked at the towering Town God's Temple at the end of the long street and the archway at the entrance, and sighed, "Although I have been in Weicheng for ten years, I always walk on the same street. Once it’s done, I thought it was done in Weicheng. It wasn’t until Brother Tong Jiang came here today that I realized that there is still an archway on the street in front of the Town God’s Temple. It’s very spectacular.”

Jiang Zhige smiled and said, "It's not unusual, after all, the temple fair has not been held for many years. Do you think Brother Jiang is also like this archway? It's been ten years, but it's still very strange?"

"Indeed." Yi Qingchen admitted frankly, "To be honest, in my impression, it seems that I have never met Brother Jiang in Weicheng in the past ten years... Now that I think about it, I am afraid that I am too old. I was in a hurry and never stopped to look at the scenery.”

Jiang Zhige said, "No, I have not been in Weicheng for the past ten years."

Yi Qingchen subconsciously asked, "Where did you go?"

"Everywhere in the Central Plains." Jiang Zhige smiled helplessly, "In the end it was for one person. Even coming back here now is for that person."

Yi Qingchen found out, ghost-faced gentleman.

Yi Qingchen's knowledge of the ghost-faced gentleman comes from the blind storyteller in Qiaoshou Pavilion all day long. After storytelling, as long as you give him a little wine and side dishes, he can chat with you in different ways for a few days. Among them, he said something about the ghost-faced gentleman.

That ghost-faced gentleman was originally born in Taoyuan Township. His family was rich, well-clothed and well-fed. Angry and afraid, he was regarded as a freak by the whole village.

But helplessly, he has been beautiful since he was a child, and he has a cold temper, which is very attractive to women. In order to make him smile, some women even don't hesitate to cut their flesh for him to look at him.But a freak is a freak after all. On a rainy and stormy night, he met a magic Taoist passing by. The two hit it off and called each other master and apprentice. Since then, they have disappeared from Taoyuan Township.The family had been looking for him for several years, but to no avail, so they had to give up.

Eight years later, he came back from his studies, started with a knife, killed all flesh and blood in the house, and laughed out loud. It is rumored that a neighbor saw him at that time and said that his skin was soaked in blood, his clothes were close to his body, and he licked his blade. Beautiful and decisive."

Although I don't know how much this story has been embellished, and how credible it is, but since everyone describes it like this, and the ghost-faced gentleman always wears a ghost mask when he does evil, it is likely that it is just like the rumors. It is a woman's face .

Thinking like this, Yi Qingchen subconsciously stretched out his hand to caress his face. Although this skin is fragile, he is chic, and others can tell that he is a man at a glance.That ghost-faced gentleman is quite pitiful, no matter how good his mentality is, if he is pointed at by others for more than ten years as "beautiful" and "beautiful", even if he is not abnormal, he should become abnormal .

"This is Luohe Academy." Jiang Zhige and Qingchen stopped in front of the quaint academy, the black wooden door was closed, and there was no one around. Jiang Zhige walked around the courtyard wall, but did not find the so-called Connector.

Yi Qingchen was not in a hurry, after all, Zhaoyu begged him to come, so he didn't believe that Zhaoyu would send someone to invite him, so he did nothing, just stood around the wall of the academy and admired the calligraphy all over the wall Come.

Although Yi Qingchen is illiterate, but because of his distaste for joy, he is very close to this elegant style of brushing and brushing. He walked back and forth along the courtyard wall a few times, seeing the flying dragons and phoenixes all over the wall in his heart, and fingered it over and over again. Tracing everywhere in the palm of your hand.Jiang Zhige was afraid that he would go too far, so he followed, seeing Yi Qingchen's behavior, he was very surprised, "Brother Yi likes calligraphy?"

Yi Qingchen tucked his hands into his sleeves, smiled awkwardly, "I can't even read, how can I like it? It's just pleasing to the eye." Then he returned along the original road.When the two returned to the gate of the academy, Zhao Yu was also there, and she was frowning, as if she was eager to vent her dissatisfaction, Yi Qingchen saw it from a distance, so she hid behind Jiang Zhige and walked slowly .
