Sweet as candy

"The two gangs of He Fu Gang and Qiu Yang Gang clashed in Shilipo, fighting all the way from Shilipo to Yanjiazhuang, injuring six villagers in total. Xingdao, stood up and repelled those two groups of people. Everyone cheered and wanted to keep those knights for a drink, but they politely declined."

"If it's a trivial matter, it's nothing to worry about, but those people left their names in a blatant way. Who do you know? They are famous!"

In the Wulin League, Xue Shiji was holding a letter of thanks sent from Yan's Village, which was densely written with the gratitude of the people of Yan's Village to the first-line red knights.

This Yan Family Village probably had never been harmed by a front-line celebrity before. Hearing that someone reported his name, he thought it was some decent organization in the Jianghu. He was grateful, but he didn't know how to contact those benefactors, so he simply sent the letter. Everyone in the world knows the righteous way of the Wulin League.

Xue Shiji finished reading the letter, but before he could make any comments, Lin Aozhi couldn't sit still: "Ridiculous! What kind of intentions are hidden in this first-line popularity? Repeatedly doing diametrically opposite actions, making everyone People are panicking!"

Xue Shiji thought to himself: Everyone?I think you are the only one who is most anxious.

He cleared his throat and tried to say a few words for the future leader's wife: "Elder Zuo, don't worry. Yixian Feihong has indeed not done anything to harm the martial arts recently. In my opinion, maybe they I really want to abandon the dark and turn to the light..."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Aozhi gave him a look of hatred: "Young man, after all, you are too simple."

Xue Shiji: "..."

"First-line Feihong has been a villain for decades, how could he suddenly change his mind? There must be a huge conspiracy hidden in it." Lin Aozhi said: "When Mu Qianzhong was in charge before, it was considered normal, and it was blatantly bad. Everyone knows that. His son Mu Yunyi is hard to figure out. Since he took office, he has been doing tricks every day, making both the good and the evil in the world worry about it every day, but they don't know what his purpose is."

Xue Shiji said: "I don't know if Elder Zuo has heard about the former leader of the Demon Cult? It is said that the leader fell in love with a girl who looked like an antenna, but the girl really cared about their reputation as scum of the martial arts. Chengji turned white all night, and the next day he announced that he would lead the Demon Cult to abandon evil and pursue good. You see, aren’t they the guests of our Martial Arts League now?”

"Young Xia Xue." Lin Aozhi looked forward, not at all moved by his persuasion: "Let's read less Jianghu story books in the future."

He clearly said it was true, why didn't he believe it!Xue Shiji cursed secretly in his heart: Bad old man, next time I will tell your wife about your secret drinking!

"If the leader was here, he would never say such naive words." With this wooden comparison, Xiao Lang seemed much wiser and more stable in Lin Aozhi's heart.He said: "If you have such a conjecture, you must first find the girl who can make Mu Yunyi's dream come true!"

Xue Shiji took a deep breath, Qin Xiao watched the two of them coming and going, seeing that Xue Shiji's face was about to turn red, he came out in time to smooth things over: "By the way, why is the leader not seen?"

"Brother Xiao went to Hengyang to find Daxia Shi." Xue Shiji said, "He temporarily entrusted me with the affairs of the alliance. If Elder You has orders, just look for me."

Lin Aozhi snorted, and said: "I think this letter of thanks cannot be kept. If it is known to interested people and used to fan the flames, saying that the Wulin League intends to make friends with Yixian Feihong, then it will be a big trouble."

"But the people have good intentions, so they can't tear it up and burn it." Xue Shiji glanced at the letter in his hand, and said hesitantly, "Why don't you just hand it back to them and let them post it at the entrance of the village?"

"Since the leader has entrusted you with the decision-making power, then I will listen to Xue Shaoxia." Lin Aozhi stood up and said, "Just remember that this Mu Yunyi is full of tricks, Xue Shaoxia must be careful when doing things, and don't fall into his trap." trap."

After knowing that Xiao Lang was in Chang'an in person, Li Xing acted more cautiously.

In order to avoid the eyeliner of the Wujiang God Sect, the two never had direct contact with each other. Only during breakfast every day, Xiao Lang would easily sit on the noodle stall in front of his door and exchange information by tapping his chopsticks on the rim of the bowl.

The reason why Xiao Lang rushed over in such a hurry was not only because Li Xing contacted people from the Wujiang God Sect under the guise of buying medicine, but also another important reason—Meng Yuntang's birthday was coming soon.

He is the teacher of the prince of the dynasty, even if he deliberately avoids suspicion, the person who presented the gift is still like a crucian carp crossing the river, and he can't keep a low profile.

Li Xing was engaged in the brocade business in Chang'an, and kept a low profile in order to protect himself. Over the years, he had managed to make some useful connections.This time for Meng Yuntang's birthday, he took care of the relationship from top to bottom, and cleverly took over the delivery of the brocade.

According to the plan, the investigation will be done after he successfully enters the mansion.But unfortunately, at such a critical juncture, Qingluan disappeared.

According to the information exchanged last time, the two of them tried to find a way to pass on the news every two days, but after Li Xing entered Xiao Taohong's room, he didn't hear any movement from the next room.

Xiao Taohong leaned against his arms, her face was blushing.The beauty was in his arms, but Li Xing's heart gradually sank into the ice cellar. He whispered, "Why is it so quiet today? Where's the girl playing the piano next door?"

Xiao Taohong only thought that he was also impressed by Qingluan's piano skills, and lightly tapped his shoulder with some taste: "Why, Mr. Li also likes to listen to her piano?"

Li Xing had a smile on his lips, but his eyes were a little nervous. He grabbed the person's hand and said, "It's such a sour smell. It's just that it's usually lively, but today it's suddenly so quiet. I'm not used to it."

Xiao Taohong smiled and said: "Master Meng's birthday is coming, he heard that Miss Qingluan is good at playing the piano, so he specially sent someone to pick Miss Qingluan to play the piano."

"But it's really strange. Apart from her, other girls would also play music for guests. Why is it so peaceful today?"

Xiao Taohong was still puzzled, but a layer of cold sweat broke out in Li Xing's hands, and he clenched his teeth: "So... she is indeed worthy. When did she go out?"

"I picked it up last night, and I haven't returned yet." Xiao Taohong whispered: "Ms. Qingluan has always been a showman but not a person. Could it be that this time she also failed? The grand master is so old... ..."

How could Li Xing still listen to what she said, so he quickly found a reason to leave the building, and walked back to his residence in a hurry.

Fortunately, he has not shown any abnormalities since then, and the people following him are not as close as before.Passing by an alley, he suddenly bumped his leg against a wooden shelf set up by a peddler, and the goods fell down with a clatter, hitting his leg hard.

The peddler was startled by him, and hurriedly came out to check. Li Xing waved to him, and let him help him to a nearby medical center.

When the two of them were separated, he whispered in the peddler's ear: "Quickly go and inform the young master that the plan has changed, and Qingluan is gone."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry." The peddler put down a bunch of copper coins on the table, cupped his hands at the doctor, and ran back to his stall.

Li Xing lingered in the medical hall for a while, knowing that the eyeliner outside must have never left him, and after calculating the time, Xiao Lang should have sneaked into his mansion, so he limped back .

Taking advantage of his delay, Xiao Lang rolled in from behind.The room was pitch black, Li Xing couldn't see his face clearly, and felt uneasy in his heart.

"When did you disappear?"

"I was picked up last night, and I haven't returned yet." Li Xing said, "My lord, I'm afraid she has..."

Xiao Lang raised a hand to stop him from continuing to say: "Qingluan said that she is still on good terms with several ministers in the court, maybe this time she just got a recommendation, maybe it's not necessarily true."

Although he comforted her with words, he had no idea in his heart - even though he had already told Qingluan not to act rashly, he could never figure out what was going on in the woman's heart.

Fortunately, Meng Yuntang, as his primary target in Chang'an, was naturally also the object of his surveillance.

The person in charge of the follow-up said: "Last night, a carriage picked up a beautiful girl, but she came out after an hour and went along South Street."

Xiao Lang said: "She came out alone? What's the expression on her face?"

The other party recalled: "There is more than one, there is also the concubine of Meng Yuntang. The two left together. She has no expression, but the concubine looks very happy."

Meng Yusheng, the son of Meng Yuntang, is one of Qingluan's regular customers.

Xiao Lang secretly pondered in his heart, maybe it was his idea to invite Qingluan this time, Qingluan is a superb qin player, inviting her to play at the banquet can not only take this opportunity to get close to Qingluan, but also win Meng Yuntang's favor, killing two birds with one stone.

But Qingluan didn't come back all night, either Meng Yusheng was entangled with her, or she was also thinking about it, trying to get something out of Meng Yusheng's mouth.

I hope it's not the second.

Qingluan came out of Meng's mansion but did not go back to the building, but was dragged to South Street by Meng Yusheng with a happy face. The most likely place to go was Tianqingfang, which is the most suitable place for sightseeing in South Street.

As night fell, lights were lit inside and outside Tianqingfang. It was located by the river, and there were many painting boats moored behind it, and the small lights in the shape of lotus flowers slowly moved towards the river along the ripples. Cross over to the center.

Xiao Lang walked along the crowd, when a tall and thin man in brocade uniform came out with two attendants, he was still cursing: "Stinky bitch, ask a lot of questions, just If she refuses to follow me, I think she probably wants to get close to my father. She wants to be beautiful, mother, she almost killed her if she didn't sleep well."

After finishing speaking, he touched his neck, the two small wounds on the top were still stained with blood, they looked as if they had been pricked with a hairpin: "Hey, I will clean it up later, when Wangyuelou asked, he said yes I started the fire by being playful."

Xiao Lang's heart moved, he turned around and locked his throat with one move.The attendant turned pale with fright, and was about to step forward to save someone, when Xiao Lang amplified the strength in his hands again, causing Meng Yusheng to howl miserably.

Seeing this, the people around screamed and moved away. The two servants were concerned about the safety of their master, so they dared not step forward: "What are you doing!"

"Where are the people?"

Meng Yusheng said intermittently: "Who is it?"

Xiao Lang pulled the person back again: "The person you mentioned, where is she?"

"What the hell are you doing with that bitch, what are you going to do..."

Xiao Lang didn't have time to circle around with him, so he stuck to his ear, and said in an extremely cold tone: "If you say something irrelevant again, I'll screw your head right away."

He did what he said, and made a gesture to break the opponent's neck back. Meng Yusheng hurriedly said: "On the boat! On the boat!"

As soon as the words fell, the small lotus lantern fluttering with the waves finally floated to the center of the river. A painting boat that was different from other painting boats turned off its lights and parked there quietly. The tulle on both sides seemed to be painted Like something sticky, even the night wind can't blow it.

The next moment, the flames soaring into the sky instantly ignited, illuminating the entire river.

Xiao Lang's eyes were about to burst, he kicked Meng Yusheng away, and ran towards the burning direction.

"It's on fire, it's on fire!"

The people on the shore were in chaos, their chaotic footsteps blocked Xiao Lang's castration, he gritted his teeth, jumped into the water, and swam towards the burning painting boat.

Someone finally came to his senses and yelled for help in a sharp voice: "Go and save people, go and save people!"

When the government officials heard the sound and arrived, the painting boat was almost burnt to a ball of black charcoal, and the person who jumped into the water just now was gone, leaving only two wet marks on the other side of the grass.
