【Grain wattle】turbulent flow

As soon as the shop waiter made a move, they knew that this place was being secretly watched by someone with a heart, so they didn't dare to stay for a long time, so they immediately left the inn and walked towards the center of the market.

On the contrary, places with dense crowds are safer. A group of people stopped and walked, and after confirming that there were no suspicious people around, Fu Jianhan walked into a small alley with seven crutches.

The alley was deeper than usual. The bricks and tiles on the walls on both sides were mottled and covered with large areas of withered green moss.When we got to the deepest part of the alley, the sun was blocked by half of the ruined wall. A large clump of dry firewood was randomly stacked on the edge of the gray wall in front of us. The pile was about half the height of a person. The narrow wooden door with half-faded red paint can barely be seen.

The red-clothed swordsman walking in the front stretched out his hand and gently pushed the door.

The door was not locked, and it opened with a creak. Along with the flying dust, there was also the smell of wine so strong that it seemed to be drunk.

Fu Jianhan wiped his nose, took a deep breath in satisfaction, then waved behind him, jumped over the messy pile of firewood first, and strode into the courtyard.

Except for those who are really addicted to alcohol, who else would have guessed that there is a tavern hidden in this seemingly dilapidated deep alley?

Fu Jianhan entered the door, sat down on a stone bench in a corner of the courtyard familiarly, raised his head and shouted to the room: "Old Qin, bring me two jars of spring wine, I want a big one."

There was a rustling sound in the room, and after a while, an old man with white beard and hair came out from inside, his eyes lit up when he saw Fu Jianhan, he turned around and brought out three jars of good wine in one breath, and put them in front of everyone.

Fu Jianhan touched the wine jar, regrettably said: "Old Qin, we have things to do later, so we can't drink so much."

The old man shook his head, patted Fu Jianhan's shoulder excitedly, and let out a few low-pitched, ambiguous dry laughs from his throat.Turned around and went back to the house.

When the old man walked away, Gu Yuexuan couldn't help asking curiously: "Brother Fu is a regular customer here?"

Fu Jianhan was busy pouring wine, grinning and said: "Familiar, very familiar, I found this place yesterday, but I drank with Lao Qin all night!"

Dare to feel that he just arrived in Suzhou last night.

Thorn sat on the side with his chest folded, glared at Fu Jianhan, and whispered, "As expected of a brat's friend."

Lu Shaolin, who was sitting next to him, coughed softly, always feeling that he was also implicated in the scolding.

Gu Yuexuan said with a smile: "It is also thanks to Brother Fu's many friends that he was able to find this hidden place for us, so as to avoid other people's eyes and ears. I just don't know how Brother Fu knew the identity of the second child?"

Fu Jianhan shook the wine bowl in his hand, and said: "If he pours poison into other dishes, I'm afraid I won't be able to find out in time. But whether this wine is good or bad, even if I'm separated by a mile, I can still smell it." come out."

Lu Shaolin praised sincerely: "Fu Shaoxia's unique move is really amazing."

Gu Yuexuan thanked Fu Jianhan, and said with shame: "It was also our carelessness, we only focused on guarding against the people of Tiqi and Tianyi City, I didn't expect Tangmen to get involved in it.

Jing Zhi snorted coldly: "Then the Tang family and his son are not good people at all, they are nothing more than grass."

Lu Shaolin touched the two heavy volumes in his arms, and pondered: "If they also come for the roster, are they helping Tiqi or Dongchang?"

Gu Yuexuan murmured: "It's a pity that I couldn't catch that Xiao Er at that time, so I could ask him about the details."

Fu Jianhan patted his head and said: "I almost forgot, Brother Weiming reminded me that if you encounter enemies secretly poisoning you, you can try this to force them to show up."

He fumbled in his arms for a while, took out a small paper bag, and put it on the stone table.

Inside the paper bag was a pinch of white powder, Gu Yuexuan didn't understand medicine, so he asked, "I don't know what the medicine powder does?"

Fu Jianhan thought for a while, and said: "It seems to be called Xunxianxiang. The toxicity is quite weak, but when it encounters other poisons, it will gradually emit a fragrance. I just saw that there were too many people on the street outside, and I am afraid that it will not be able to send out the fragrance." It was useful, so I didn’t take it out.”

Thorn first recognized what was in the paper bag, frowned and said: "I saw that old fox Xuan Mingzi used this thing, where did that brat get it?"

Fu Jianhan smiled calmly and said: "Brother Weiming once mentioned a few words, saying that it was given to him by a confidant, and this time he has something to ask, so he simply passed it on to me."

After Lu Shaolin listened, he shook his head, smiled and sighed: "The old wine that was covered in dust in the old days can be regarded as fragrant for thousands of miles now."

Thorn narrowed his eyes and spat, "I don't know who I learned from."

Then he thought again, if he and another person could match this little junior brother's exquisite thoughts, they wouldn't be able to vaguely understand the myriad of clues until now.

Gu Yuexuan seemed to see through his thoughts, and lightly patted his right hand which he unconsciously held up under the table, and said to Fu Jianhan: "We also heard about the mad swordsman just now, and we are a little worried. Brother Fu Do you know where Weiming is now?"

Fu Jianhan nodded, then shook his head again: "Brother Weiming just passed by Zhujian Mountain Villa, and I happened to be there too. We met in a hurry, and he asked me to come to Suzhou to pick him up, and then he set off again. He only said that he had something important to do. The matter of the swordsman can only be put aside for the time being, and when he finishes handling the matters in hand, he will definitely rush to Luoyang to meet you before the martial arts conference."

Gu Yuexuan frowned and said: "It must be very important and very dangerous to let Junior Brother Weiming escape."

Fu Jianhan sighed: "When we saw each other one day, Brother Weiming was travel-laden, and he didn't even drink too much wine with us. I guess it was not a small matter. There was another person with him, and I also met him once at the Young Heroes Meeting. It seems to be the leader of the Qingcheng faction. They came to Zhujian Villa and had a secret talk with Brother Jiannan overnight, probably because someone ordered a large number of swords a few days ago."

Half of the world's military affairs belonged to the imperial military department, and the rest naturally belonged to Zhujian Villa.

The war broke out in chaos, and some people deliberately bypassed the government and found this corner of the rivers and lakes. They must have planned and planned to go to war.

Everyone was silent for a while, and after a while Lu Shaolin said quietly: "No wonder those two groups want to grab the roster."

If the roster is really on him, what he holds in his hand is the key to the success of this unfighted battle.

He is a commoner in the world, and he was involved in this temple dispute because of a trip to the bodyguard for no reason, and now he can't get out even if he wants to, just like a lone leaf on the rapids, he can't help himself up and down.Seeing those two forces making a mess behind him, his heart gradually settled down.

He can easily hand over the roster and choose one side to rely on to gamble, but the Golden Wind Bodyguard Agency and thousands of people behind him, can they afford to gamble?What's more, he doesn't even know where the roster is, and he really wants to hand it over, but he can't hand it over.

He has no choice at all.

Or maybe, he has.

He can choose to believe in the unknown in the East.

At that moment, Lu Shaolin seemed to have an epiphany, and the panic and hesitation in his eyes gradually faded away.

He said slowly: "The roster is in my hands for a day, Tiqi and Dongchang only have the roster in their eyes, and don't care about other things. It can be delayed for a day, as long as there is a chance to stop this war, I will Even if Lu Shaolin is heartbroken, it's worth it."

His face was still calm, and his voice was light and ethereal, but it seemed to be filled with thousands of pride, and he landed loudly.

Thorn smacked his lips, patted Lu Shaolin on the shoulder, and said, "You kid is brave enough. It doesn't count if you took dozens of lives from the Golden Wind Escort, but you still want to take the lives of all the people in the world?"

Lu Shaolin smiled wryly: "I can't bear this, I'm really under pressure, and I have to tire you and Brother Gu."

It is easy to throw out bold words, and his heart is like a mirror. There are wolves and tigers along the way, and it is not his turn to be a hero.

At this moment, Gu Yuexuan glanced at him quietly, and said: "Brother Lu is right. We are originally from the Jianghu, and we have no intention of getting involved in the affairs of the court, but no matter whether we are in the Jianghu or the temple, we are still in the same world. If The world is really at war, and who can be alone? Gu has no interest in officialdom battles, but he is willing to work with his juniors and do his best to keep this moment of peace."

Seeing that the man assumed the posture of a big brother again, and even said his own share, the corner of Thorn's mouth twitched, but he didn't have much resistance in his heart, but was a little happy, and casually said to Lu Shaolin: "What are you talking about? How have I ever regretted what I, Thorn, promised? I said that I would send you to Luoyang whole, so I wouldn’t let you lose arms and legs.”

Lu Shaolin was stunned, a black shadow flickered in front of his eyes, and there was another jar of good Kaifeng wine.

Fu Jianhan smiled and said: "I have heard for a long time that brother Lu is also a master at drinking. This time we are on the same road, why don't we have a good drink?"

Although the wine in their hands was cold, the eyes of those three people were hot.Lu Shaolin raised his head and drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp. In the spicy and slightly sweet fragrance, he seemed to have tasted the taste of everything in this world.

If you have a heart, why are you afraid of the wind and waves outside?Besides, he's not walking alone.

Let them go together and take a ride in this chaotic world.

After this round of drinking was over, the twilight fell again, Fu Jianhan put down the remaining jar of wine, patted it reluctantly, and said to Lao Qin: "Save it for me first, and I will come back after we finish our business." Pick."

As for the other two jars of wine, most of them also went into his stomach.

Gu Yuexuan glanced at the quiet night, frowned slightly, and said: "Since people from the Tang Sect have come, they probably won't leave so easily."

Jing Ji sat next to him, lowered his head and wiped a pair of swords and swords, snorted coldly and said: "The gang of the Bagua Sect have always been in the same spirit as the Tang Sect, so we must also get involved in this matter."

Fu Jianhan put down the wine jar, stood up and said bluntly: "Don't we have Xunxianxiang, let's go and find out their old background."

Suzhou City is under the Fengyang Mansion, and there are many officers and soldiers in the city. However, the matter of the roster is a secret wrestling between two forces in the imperial court. If Tiqi and Dongchang make any moves, they will not directly alarm the government.In contrast, there must be a lot of people guarding outside the city of Suzhou at this moment. Even if you force your way, knowing yourself and the enemy is better than just being blind.

The Xunxian incense was not something special, but after a while, it really started to move, exuding wisps of fragrance, which changed from weak to strong, and led them to an abandoned house.

The moonlight was bright, and from a distance, there seemed to be a few shadowy human figures standing in the overgrown courtyard.

Thorn held the sword and wanted to break in, but Gu Yuexuan held down his shoulder.

He was pulled to stand close to the door leaf. The width of the door was limited, and to cover the figures of the two, they had to get very close.

Gu Yuexuan turned his head and whispered: "Listen to what they are talking about first."

He didn't dare to speak loudly, and only the rustling sound reached the ears of the thorns.

The hands on the shoulders have not moved away, as if hugging him Xuxu, the thorns turned their heads, staring at the light-colored lips that were opening and closing for a while, the ears were a little hot, and the conversation in the yard was hard Not a word fell into my ears.

Fu Jianhan's voice came softly from the treetops above his head: "Brother Jing is right, there really are people from the Bagua School."

The people in the courtyard looked like one from the Tang Sect who was disguised as a waiter during the day, and another person also changed into an ordinary person's clothes, but he carried a nine-turn chain knife on his back. Disciple of the Eight Diagrams Sect.

In addition to those two people, there was another person standing under the eaves, most of his body was hidden in the dark, he couldn't see his clothes clearly, but his voice sounded familiar.

He only heard the man say: "That kid Dongfang Weiming is really powerful, so he found a helper for Lu Shaolin so soon?"

The man from the Tang Sect gritted his teeth and said: "Gu Yuexuan and thorns alone are extremely difficult to deal with. Now here comes Fu Jianhan, who saw through my poisonous wine immediately and got me hit by a sword, ruining the master's plan. , really hateful."

The gossip sect said: "I've said it before, if we found out their whereabouts last night, we should start as soon as possible. Now they don't know where they are hiding, how can we find them?"

The third person sneered, and said slowly: "They can hide for a while, but they can't hide for a lifetime. They have to go out of the city, and the two gates are guarded by our people. No matter how powerful those three are, this time they will be hard to fly."

Hearing his tone, it seemed that he was sure of everything, and it could be seen that a lore-killing situation had been set up outside the city of Suzhou, leaving no gaps.

The situation was more severe than expected, Thorn secretly gritted his teeth, only feeling that the hand pressing his shoulder tightened slightly.

He also heard people from the Tang Sect flattering him: "Master Jiang is more thoughtful, and after he gets the things, he pulls that boy Dongfang Weiming off his horse. In this big world, don't we let us handle everything?"

The four people hiding in the dark were all taken aback. Besides wanting to grab the roster, do these people have other plans?

Gu Yuexuan opened his eyes wide, and softly uttered three words: "Crazy Swordsman?"

The timing of the Dongying Swordsman's appearance was too coincidental, it turned out that it was specially arranged by someone.The young master surnamed Jiang in the yard who has good friends with the Tang Sect and the Bagua Sect is probably Jiang Yu, the young master of Luoyang Jiangfu.

Jiang Yu chuckled a few times, unable to hide his complacency, and said, "If Dongfang boy refuses to fight, how can he be worthy of being the leader of the martial arts? Even if he stands up to fight, he can't win against our people."

The Bagua disciple hesitated and said: "But everyone has experienced the unknown martial arts in the east, and they have learned a lot, which is still better than his two senior brothers. No matter how powerful the mad swordsman is, will he be able to beat him?"

Jiang Yu snorted, and said darkly: "He'd better die in Mangshan. Otherwise...hehe, I have plenty of ways to ruin his reputation. After the martial arts conference, the position of leader will definitely change."

The other two responded one after another, congratulating repeatedly.

Jiang Yu was smiling when her voice suddenly changed: "What's the smell?"

Only then did the people outside the door realize that the Xun Xianxiang was still working, and when there was a night breeze, the fragrance would naturally float into the courtyard.

The whereabouts were exposed, and there was no point in hiding. In the blink of an eye, three figures flew out from more than ten feet away, and after a few ups and downs, they went straight to the three people standing in the yard.

The person in the Bagua sect quickly pulled out the nine-turn chain knife, but no matter how fast his gossip knife is, how can it be faster than the thorns?In a blink of an eye, the nine-turn chain knife and the Buddha knife and demon sword clashed several times, and there were faint cracks on the blade. The man was unable to parry, and within ten strokes he was defeated. He was hit by a thorn on his right wrist, and the long knife dropped his hand. Overturned.

At the same time, the member of the Tang Sect also uttered a scream. His martial arts were mediocre, and he received a sword from Fu Jianhan on his shoulder. Just as he was about to escape for his life, he was hit by the sword on the other shoulder again. He didn't move, and was captured by Fu Jianhan.

Seeing that his accomplice was at a disadvantage, Jiang Yu had no intention of rescuing him at all. He just wanted to run away. When he turned around and saw Gu Yuexuan standing in front of him, he calmed down and said without changing his face: "My brother, I haven't seen Brother Gu for a while. I miss you so much, I don’t know why Brother Gu has to move his hands as soon as we meet?”

Gu Yuexuan did not expect this person to be so brazen, frowned, and said: "Brother Jiang, what you and your father have done has disgraced fellow martial artists, Gu has a piece of advice, you should give up quickly."

Jiang Yu was just planning to test it a bit, but when he heard that Gu Yuexuan had heard all the plans, he simply raised his eyebrows and said, "Brother Gu, brother Gu, you don't know, my father and I are cleaning up the evils of the righteous way of martial arts..."

Now that the matter was over, Gu Yuexuan didn't care to listen to his nonsense, stepped forward, and punched directly.

Jiang Yu had been prepared for a long time, and met Gu Yuexuan's punch with both fists.

As soon as they fought, Gu Yuexuan knew that Jiang Yu's martial arts were far superior to what he usually showed, far beyond the comparison of the other two accomplices.

The Tiangang fist was fierce, and after Jiang Yu pulled off his mask, he even swept away his usual hypocrisy. Each punch was stronger than the next, as if he wanted to smash Gu Yuexuan's breastbone.

Rather than hurting someone, Gu Yuexuan wanted to catch the opponent more. With one palm, he parried Jiang Yu's fists, and with the other hand, he used Song Jiang's fury, and punched Jiang Yu's heavy acupuncture point on the shoulder, trying to restrain him.

Jiang Yu narrowed his eyes, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and said in a whisper: "Brother Gu, every time you picked up your junior brother back to the valley, did you never think that they might be poisonous snakes that will bite you back one day?" ?”

Gu Yuexuan was startled, frowned and shouted: "It's a bunch of nonsense!"

He has always been calm and gentle, his speech is gentle and elegant, and he rarely shows off his dew, but after this drink, there is a faint anger in his voice.

Jiang Yu saw the opportunity, and suddenly opened his fists, his fingers turned into claws, and grabbed Gu Yuexuan's veins.

This move was too vicious, Gu Yuexuan had no choice but to stop, so that the sharp nails did not goug out the flesh and blood.

When he raised his head again, Jiang Yu took the opportunity to jump up to the roof and disappeared into the night in an instant.

Seeing Jiang Yu running away, Fu Jianhan wanted to chase after him, but he didn't expect that the man in his hand suddenly collapsed to the ground with a whisper in his ear.

Fu Jianhan quickly helped him up, shook his shoulders, and said, "Hey, you..."

The Tang Sect man's complexion quickly turned gray, it seemed that he had swallowed some kind of poison, a black blood spilled from his lips, he shook violently a few times, and then fell silent.

This time, even Fu Jianhan's face darkened.

Seeing that he had become an abandoned pawn, the man chose to kill himself. This shows how insidious the means of the mastermind behind the scenes are.

Thorn glared at the person in the Bagua Sect in his hand, threw the person to the ground, and pointed the sword point directly at the person's mouth.

He said viciously: "Say, what are you planning to do to my junior brother?"

The companion died and fled, the man on the ground trembled, facing the sword's edge, but gritted his teeth and did not say a word.

Thorn said angrily: "What kind of hero are you still playing? If you refuse to say it, I will chop you up!"

As he said that, he raised his long sword and tried to strike.

The gossipman let out a scream, and said in a trembling voice, "Hero Jing, please forgive me. I really don't know much about it. I only know that Mr. Jiang... Bah, Jiang Tianxiong has the handle of Dongfang... the leader of the alliance. If he can be called, he will die." You will lose your face, and you will no longer be able to gain a foothold in the Central Plains martial arts..."

Thorn gave him a cold look, the long sword in his hand still did not stop, and went straight to the throat of the man on the ground.

Gu Yuexuan stood still, but Fu Jianhan called out first: "Brother Jing!"

Thorn's hands didn't stop moving, the edge of the Buddha sword barely grazed the man's throat, and the blade slapped him hard on the side of the neck.

After knocking the man unconscious, Thorn seemed to lose interest, he threw the man at Fu Jianhan's feet casually, raised his head and asked, "What do you want to say?"

Fu Jianhan blinked, coughed lightly, and said: "...good swordsmanship."

Seeing that there were no enemies here, Lu Shaolin, who was ordered not to make a move, finally got down from the treetops, and sighed, "It seems that Brother Weiming is in big trouble too."

Fu Jianhan said: "If there is evidence that Jiang Tianxiong is in charge of the mad swordsman, maybe we can save Brother Weiming from suffering in the first battle."

Lu Shaolin nodded, said "Offended", squatted down, and rummaged through the two people on the ground together with Fu Jianhan.

On the other side, Thorn raised his head and saw Gu Yuexuan was still standing still, his heart skipped a beat, thinking that he was injured or poisoned, so he hurriedly jumped over.

Gu Yuexuan waved his hands hastily and said, "Aji, I'm fine."

Seeing that his expression was not right, Jing Ji became suspicious, and grabbed Gu Yuexuan's hand that was hidden in his sleeve.

The palm of that hand was covered in cold sweat, and looking through the moonlight, there was still a smear of dark blood on the cuff.

Thorn's heart trembled, and then he raised his head to see that the person in front of him also had blood on the corner of his mouth, and said anxiously: "Are you still saying it's okay?"

Gu Yuexuan was stunned for a moment, raised his other hand, wiped the corner of his lips hastily, and said with a wry smile: "Aji, I am not injured again. It's just that I was a little anxious just now, and my mood was unstable for a while."

Thorn suddenly remembered his scolding, frowned and said angrily, "What did that little bastard Jiang Yu say?"

Gu Yuexuan's eyebrows raised a little, and he quickly calmed down, shaking his head and smiling: "It's nothing. Ah Ji, it has always been my happiest thing to find you in this life... and to bring back Weiming. You will always be the My best junior."
