Chapter 227
Three days later, within the Yuegu Lotus Pond in Yongping Mansion.

Zhu Jiarou, Mu Xiahuai, and Linglong from Lingxiao Jiange, Ding Chengfeng, He Ping, Wang Zhongting, and Zhang Bingji from Shanhaitang, Yuan Suiyun from Qingcheng Sword Sect, Qingxu Daoist from Wudang Sect, Zuo Xingtang, and Yongping Mansion The prefect Chen Luochuan and the judge Zeng Quanbin arrived one after another.

Sitting in the hall, Zhu Jiarou could see her haggard face, her brows were full of worry and gloomy, appearing to be preoccupied.

When everyone was seated, she said in her usual cold and melodious tone: "Recently, everyone must know what happened in Yongping Mansion. The Red Leaf Villa is the lair of the Corpse God Hall of the Illusory Demon Palace. The owner Ye Yun It's a big deal to destroy the world, and use martial arts fellows to refine blood corpses. Humans and gods are indignant. Although he has been executed now, the rest of his crimes are still making waves in Yongping Mansion. The ghost-faced swordsman is murdering people everywhere. His methods are cruel and outrageous. In view of Therefore, the imperial court and Lingxiao Jiange decided to suspend the final round of the Sword Discussion Conference, and wait for the situation to calm down before choosing another date for the competition."

Hearing this news, everyone in the hall had their own concerns and remained silent.

Ding Chengfeng is the leader of the Jianghu in Yongping Prefecture. He was the first to speak: "Princess, when will the Sword Discussion Conference be postponed?"

Zhu Jiarou sighed: "Concubine Hua was killed, then Ling Mofeng was assassinated, and now even Yan Long, the deputy head of the Guitang, has lost his whereabouts in the process of tracking down Yu Zhenqing. Everything seems to have something to do with Hongye Villa and the Sword Discussion Conference. The imperial court The center has already criticized this matter quite a bit, and the officials have even criticized our Lingxiao Jiange. The situation is compelling, and the sword discussion meeting has to be postponed!"

Ding Chengfeng said: "We all understand the difficulties of Lingxiao Jiange, but now there are a large number of martial arts experts gathered in Yongping Mansion, and everyone is a blood-licking figure. If the Sword Discussion Conference cannot be held as scheduled, it will cause disaster if it takes too long. , then the situation will be even more difficult to deal with.”

Hearing Ding Chengfeng's words, the magistrate Chen Luochuan echoed, "What Hall Master Ding said is true!"

Zhu Jiaju said: "The ghost-faced swordsman from the Illusory Devil Palace has not been caught yet, and he may kill his fellow martial artists again at any time. If there is another bloody incident during the Sword Discussion Conference, it will have a great impact on the reputation of Lingxiao Jiange."

Zuo Xingtang has a very high status in Jianghu, his seat is higher than Ding Chengfeng, and he is the closest to Zhu Jiarou.

He agreed with Zhu Jiarou's position on suspending the Sword Discussion Conference: "This Sword Discussion Conference was held by the imperial court in the name of Lingxiao Jiange. Although there are many martial arts comrades in Yongping Mansion, they still don't dare to confront the imperial court, otherwise No one can bear the court's pursuit. I think there are only two important things at present. The first thing is to find Yan Long, regardless of life or death." At this point, his voice sank, paused, and then continued Said: "Since Yan Long is because of tracking down Yu Zhenqing's disappearance, and someone in Yuyan Township has seen the ghost-faced swordsman and Yan Long appear at the same time, then as long as Yan Long is found, the secrets between Yu Zhenqing, the ghost-faced swordsman, and Hongye Villa will all be revealed." Revealed. The second thing, all of you here must be very careful when you come in and out, otherwise, with the strength of a ghost-faced swordsman who can kill Ling Mofeng, no matter who it is, it will be dangerous if you are alone."

After Zuo Xingtang finished speaking, Yuan Suiyun's eyes flashed a hint of unobservable hatred, and he thought to himself, "It's really difficult to strike with such a high level of protection."

Zuo Xingtang paused for a moment, and said to Zhu Jiaju: "Princess, when the Sword Discussion Conference is reopened, we should make a decision early. Otherwise, you will lose trust in Jianghu, and you will not only lose the face of Lingxiao Jiange."

Zhu Jiarou looked at Ding Chengfeng and Chen Luochuan and said, "How long will it take to search the entire Yongping Mansion?"

Ding Chengfeng and Chen Luochuan looked at each other, then Chen Luochuan cupped his hands and said, "One month."

"Okay, after one month, whether you can find Yan Long and Yu Zhenqing or not, the Sword Discussion Conference will be held as scheduled." Zhu Jiaju said.

Yuan Suiyun thought to himself: "Seeing that the position of the swordsman of the third floor is about to be obtained, but it has to be postponed again, Yan Long has become a ghost, where are you going to find it! Forget it, let's take a break for a while. , When we arrive in the capital and enter the Lingxiao Jiange, it will not be too late to make plans."

……

The inner hall of Yuegu Lotus Pond.

As soon as An Xiyan and An Xiuyun stepped into their other courtyard, they saw Zhu Jiarou's slender back.

Hearing the sound, Zhu Jiarou turned around, looked at An Xiyan and said, "Sister, how are you?"

With tears in the corners of An Xiyan's eyes, she greeted Zhu Jiarou, threw herself into her arms, and cried, "Sister Jiarou, I have sent out all the people I can use, but...but, I still can't find him!"

Zhu Jiarou stroked An Xiyan's long hair, and said softly: "Yan Long is a man of great fortune, you should relax a bit, maybe he will come back to see you by himself in a few days."

"Really?!" An Xiyan looked at Zhu Jiarou with tears in her eyes.

Zhu Jiarou had a warm smile in his eyes, and said, "Really!"

Usually, An Xiyan would never believe these words of coaxing children, but now her heart is in a state of confusion, these words are like a drowning person encountering a driftwood, which revived some hope in her heart.

Zhu Jiarou hugged An Xiyan, comforting her with gentle words, but her own eyes were full of worry, and she secretly said in her heart: "Yan Long, where are you??!"

……

For nearly 20 days, Yan Long spent in the bumpy carriage. He had a high fever and talked nonsense. The wounds on his body were inflamed and festered due to poor care.

On the day of No.20, the people in the team suddenly cheered loudly.

Yan Long lay on the carriage, opened his eyes, the blue sky and white clouds filled his eyes.

Beside him, there was a man with a rough face and rough skin holding a horse skin bag, and was about to feed him kumiss.

The soured horse milk was poured into his mouth, and a smell of milk rushed into his throat, making him cough uncontrollably, and the horse's milk overflowed from his mouth.Yan Long frowned, covered the horse skin with his hand, and said weakly: "No need, I won't drink."

This man obviously couldn't understand Chinese. Seeing Yan Long's refusal, he raised his eyebrows and continued to send the horseskin bag in his hand to Yan Long's mouth. He also uttered a series of words, but none of the words was Yan Long. understandable.

Yan Long shook his head and struggled to sit up from the car, only to see a vast grassland around him. From a distance, there were more than ten mountain tops on the flat grassland, as flat as a knife, with steep cliffs on the hillside. In the distance at sunset, they are arranged in an orderly manner, like giant beasts dormant.

"What is this place?" Yan Long looked at the man holding the horse skin bag, pointed to the ground, and asked.The man smiled at him honestly, then pointed and said something.

Still unable to understand a single word, Yan Long said with a wry smile: "Thank you, but I really don't want to drink what you have in your hand." .

The man showed his bright white teeth and smiled again.
