The heart has always been the heart of the spectator

This may be the hundredth time Qin Jianshan has spurned himself in the past three months.

Three months ago, when he told Dongfang Xing "I'm leaving", what he really thought at that time was to give up.The fact is, wherever Dongfang walks, he follows.He didn't want to do this either, but he could always see the fattened gray carrier pigeon, and of course he knew Dongfang Xing's whereabouts, so it was as if he couldn't control his legs—except on the black wood cliff. When going, Qin Jianshan always followed Dongfang from afar.

This was actually quite embarrassing, since Dongfang Xing didn't want him, but he said "Let's go" himself, and followed him after turning his head.Qin Jianshan despises himself every day before going to bed, but when the dawn comes, the first thing is to love him.

Dongfang traveled in Shanxi at the end of September, and then he went to Henan at different speeds, then went to Jiangxi through Huguang, and then returned to Zhejiang for nearly a month.Qin Jianshan guessed that Dongfang Xing made such a circle to get rid of the Sun Moon Sect members, but he didn't know what his ultimate goal was.

After passing Quzhou Mansion, Qin Jianshan didn't find any trace of Dongfang Xing for about ten years.It can be said that he is not familiar with the place here. After much deliberation, he thinks that he can go to Hangzhou to try his luck.When he arrived in Fuyang, Qin Jianshan rested in a small inn. Within half an hour, he heard the sound of a carrier pigeon. After searching for a stick of incense carefully, he found that the gray carrier pigeon of Dongfang Xing finally had a hanging heart. lay down.

This time, Dongfang Xing came to find Huang Zhonggong and the others.After coming down from Heimuya more than three months ago, he has been finding that someone is following him. After going to Luoyang with Tong Baixiong, he stayed in Xiaoyao Pavilion for seven days, which is enough for him to clean up the substitute he found; For more than three months, he and his stand-in acted separately, in order to confuse the public and prevent those who let me know his real whereabouts.

Even so, this trip to Hangzhou East still took a lot of detours, so be extra careful.

This time, I was on a cruise ship in the West Lake with the four brothers Huang Zhonggong.Although this season has begun to be a bit cold, there are still many cruise ships on the West Lake. Huang Zhonggong asked two other teams to board the boat together to ensure that everyone on the boat knows everything and there is absolutely no danger of any secrets being leaked.

The last time we met, Huang Zhonggong took Black and White and introduced Dongfang Xing to the salt merchants they had befriended. Dongfang Xing can get a lot of benefits from it every month, so he revealed his new idea to the four of them this time. , Of course, there are still important things for them to do.

"The older brothers will take these coins first, and the rest will be sent by younger brothers later." Dongfang Xing pushed a small box of ingots and ten bank notes in front of Huang Zhonggong.

"You can't do it!" Huang Zhonggong hurriedly returned the money, "What Brother Dongfang said is not difficult, we just go and do it, how can we take your money!"

Dongfang Xing held Huang Zhonggong's hand that was still rejecting, said something like this, and then told them a little bit about the things that need to be paid attention to, and told them not to leak any news.The four of Huang Zhonggong wrote down one by one, and in the end they had no choice but to accept the money from Dongfang Xing. When they got off the ship and parted ways, they asked people to pack the silver ingots and bank notes and deliver them to the inn where Dongfang Xing stayed.

A few days later in the evening, a young man came to the inn to deliver a letter. Dongfang Xing opened it up and saw that someone invited him to swim in the lake. He quietly crushed the note into powder, took his sword and walked out the door.

Dongfang Xing left the inn and went to the right. It was dark early in Hangzhou in November, and the sky was completely dark when he passed through an alley. His gray carrier pigeon was squatting on the wall next to it. Dongfang Xing took a look at it. He waved it away; at the end of the alley stood a middle-aged man in black clothes, black trousers and black boots, and when he saw him, he bowed respectfully and asked him to go with him.

Dongfang Xing followed the middle-aged man along the long embankment to a place leaning on a hill, climbed up the stairs, turned a few turns, and the ground was full of old and slanting plum trees.In this season, the leaves of the plum trees have not yet fallen, and the moonlight above their heads cannot fully shine in, but both of them are martial arts practitioners, and they still walk fast with the wind under their feet.Suddenly Dongfang Xing stopped and listened with his ears sideways. The evening wind rustled the leaves, and there was only the sound of falling leaves on the road he had just walked.

The middle-aged man also stopped, as if to ask something.Dongfangxing didn't wait for him to speak, and waved his hand to signal him to move on.

After passing through the plum grove, I walked on a bluestone road, and came to a large courtyard with rich gates and white walls. The word "Meizhuang" was written outside the gate.The middle-aged man didn't knock on the door, but just blew three long whistles, and the door opened in response, and two servants with bright eyes and steady steps greeted him behind the door; Dongfang Xing followed behind the two, but the middle-aged man didn't Go further in, and stay in the ear room next to the gate.

The three of them walked through a large courtyard and came to the hall. Huang Zhonggong had been waiting for a long time.

"Brother Huang, I've been waiting for a long time."

"Brother Dongfang, it's good to be here. Have you encountered any trouble?"

"Brother Huang is thoughtful and well-arranged, and has never encountered any trouble."

"That's good!"

"Why don't you see the other brothers?"

"I sent the three of them elsewhere so that they wouldn't draw too much attention."

While talking, the four walked quickly through several rooms, and Dongfang Xing looked carefully, seeing that the inside of Meizhuang was no different from the ordinary residence of a rich family, so he was relieved.The four of them entered an inner room. There was a bed in the room, and a gauze curtain was hung on the bed, which was very old;Huang Zhonggong lifted the quilt on the bed and lifted the bed board, revealing an iron board with a copper ring on it.Huang Zhonggong held the copper ring with both hands and lifted it upwards. The four-foot-wide and five-foot-long iron plate rose up, revealing a large square hole.

Dongfangxing was about to look forward, but Huang Zhonggong stretched out his hand to stop him; the two servants held the lamps and jumped down first, and Dongfangxing Huang Zhonggong jumped down one by one.The four of them walked forward for about two feet, and two servants pushed the stone gate inward. After entering the stone gate, the tunnel sloped all the way down, and after walking out tens of feet, the two servants pushed open an iron door again.

The tunnel turned several turns, and the four of them walked for about a quarter of an hour. The tunnel suddenly narrowed, and the four of them could only walk forward with a bow. Another iron door appeared.Huang Zhonggong fumbled by the door and took out a key. After turning the key, he pulled the iron door and shook it. He pushed it inward with Yunjin, only to hear a sound, and the iron door opened a few inches inward.Two servants stood guard outside the door, Dongfang Xing and Huang Zhonggong entered slowly, and what came into view was a prison cell that was roughly square in size.

The musty smell that hit his face made Dongfang Xing frowned. He held his breath and observed for a while, then nodded, and said "wonderful" to Huang Zhonggong.

Huang Zhonggong felt relieved, "This was originally the residence of Yu Yunwen, the great hero who broke the gold in the Song Dynasty. The four of my brothers searched for several days, and then discovered this wonderful thing. It just happens to be useful to you, Brother Dongfang."

"Thank you for your hard work, brothers!"

Dongfang Xing also ordered Huang Zhonggong to use fine steel to make a pair of handshackles and legshackles, which must be nailed into the stone wall for more than three feet; the outer door is considered strong, but two more iron doors need to be added. A wooden door nailed full of cotton wool.Dongfang Xing has been thinking about these things for a long time, and he has long been familiar with them. Huang Zhonggong muttered in his heart as he memorized them. In this way, even the Immortal Da Luo will be unable to escape.

"I just don't know, Brother Dongfang is so troublesome, what kind of difficult person is the other party?"

Dongfang Xing seemed to have grabbed a few hands on the wall unintentionally, and then said slowly, "It's not that kind of person."

"Is that worth the trouble of Dongfang Brothers?"

Dongfang Xing walked out and said three words lightly. Huang Zhonggong was shocked for a moment and forgot to follow him. It was not until Dongfang Xing reminded him again that he hurried out of the cell.When going out along the tunnel, Dongfang Xing said a few words from time to time, just to strengthen the dungeon again.

When he came out of the inner room again, Huang Zhonggong's underwear was soaked in cold sweat, and what happened just now made him a little dazed.Dongfang Xing stood beside the short qin, stretched out his hand and stroked the strings a few times casually, the completely uncoordinated notes revealed a strong killing spirit.

There was a very light noise outside the window, and several people in the room immediately rang the alarm. After a moment of stalemate, Dongfang Xing waved his hand lightly, "Everyone, don't panic, it's just my pigeon." He whistled, and sure enough, his gray carrier pigeon flew in with fluttering wings and landed on his finger.

"I'll go back to the inn first. I'm going to have to thank Brother Huang for today's affairs. I'll be the host another day. Please have a good time with my brothers!"

Dongfangxing took his carrier pigeons back to the inn along the way the middle-aged man came. The middle-aged man still stopped in the alley. After he left, Dongfangxing stood there for a while, looking at the alley quietly the end.It took a long time to throw the pigeon back, and Shi Shi ran back to the inn.

It was not until his figure completely disappeared that Qin Jianshan dared to come out from behind the wall.The carrier pigeon saw him, landed on him a few times, and stomped on his shoulders.

Dongfangxing found him!Qin Jianshan was almost convinced.
