heart pole

With white hands slowly opening the door, Yan Lingxi squinted and observed that there were several calluses on the finger joints, which should be left by needles for many years.

A woman in purple appeared at the door. Her appearance was soft and dusty, her clothes were simple and plain, and her jet-black hair was draped behind her shoulders, making her look extraordinarily gentle and graceful.

She smiled elegantly, and gave a little courtesy: "Little girl, I have seen you all, please come in."

"..." When Ning Jingyuan's indifferent eyes glanced over the face of the purple-clothed woman, he was actually attracted by the tear mole at the corner of her left eye, which distracted him for a moment.

"Eh? Your Excellency..." Seeing this, Feng Zhezhi took a step back in surprise.

"Jingyuan, you are here." Liang Shisan's voice came from the room at the end of the corridor, interrupting Jingyuan's trance.He couldn't help apologizing, "I'm sorry." Then he passed the woman in purple and walked towards Liang Shisan's house at a faster pace.

"Miss Feng, I'm sorry, this brother Ning Yuan seems to care too much about his master, and he is a little rude, please don't take it wrong." Yan Lingxi smiled friendly, and bowed politely to the woman in purple to apologize.

"Well, it's okay." Feng Zhezhi smiled, "Please come in."

Tranquility looked at the scarred Liang Shisan from a distance, although his face was still calm, but there was a look of heartache in his eyes, he called: "Master."

"Jingyuan, don't worry, I'm fine... why is he here too?" Liang Shisan looked at his apprentice's dark blue eyes, and smiled kindly.But when he saw Shen Yan, his expression changed slightly.

Yan Lingxi took off his hood and came out to smooth things over: "Senior Liang, we have temporarily reconciled with Jiang Yuelou. Mr. Shen is here to cooperate with us in investigating your murderer."

Liang Shisan took a deep look at Yan Lingxi, then looked sideways at the ceiling and said, "You are Young Master Yan Shishi. If it was you, I might be able to analyze it. But I really can't remember it. It's gone." His tone was full of vicissitudes.

Yan Lingxi nodded, and said: "The Wulin Alliance has unified Jiangbei, not counting Yunxuanmen and Yanjia, there are ten sects."

Murong Yimo took over the words: "Among the ten sects, the Loulan Dao is good at knives, but the blade is short and flat, so it is impossible to leave such a straight wound; the sword used by our Beifeng Sect is a straight narrow sword. The blade is long and narrow, so it cannot cause a wound of this width; Hugemen uses spears to eliminate them; Pai Jie only uses swords, so get rid of them."

Yan Lingxi nodded to Murong Yimo in satisfaction, and said: "So it can be concluded that that person is definitely not a member of the ten sects."

"Straight knife?" Ning Jingyuan turned to stare at Shen Yan.The latter felt his gaze, but did not intend to explain anything.

It was Yan Lingxi who smoothed things over, "Brother Jingyuan, let me say one more thing. Apart from the same wounds on Shen Yan and Liang Shisan, there is another characteristic - these are two kinds of wounds caused by the other party with their left and right hands respectively. Shen Yan may be able to leave two kinds of wounds on Liang Shisan's body by switching his hands, but it is absolutely impossible to leave two kinds of wounds on himself."

"Hmm. It's true that they are holding knives in both hands." Although Shen Yan didn't like these people or even held hostility, after hearing Yan Lingxi's analysis, he still chose to make a supplementary answer.

"The sword room school can also be ruled out. Only Shen Yan in Jiangyuelou can use a sword, so it can be ruled out. Then there are only three possibilities." Yan Lingxi said, his tone became dignified. "First, they are people who have no background and no sect except Yunxuan, Jiangyue, Jianshi and the ten major sects. Second, they may be outsiders from the Tang Dynasty. Third."

"It's from the Yan family." Tranquility added coldly.Everyone except Yan Lingxi gasped suddenly.

"Ha." Yan Lingxi smiled lightly, holding the ebony folding fan again at some point in his hand, and opened the gray fan with a "snap".

"Brother Jingyuan hits the nail on the head, admiration." Sensing Ningyuan's hostile gaze, Yan Lingxi gently raised his folding fan to cover half of his face: "This Yan family has never been my decision. Joining the martial arts alliance is my father's idea .”

Liang Shisan was a little puzzled: "My lord Yan Qingchi is 63 years old, why didn't he hand over the position of Patriarch so long?"

Yan Lingxi smiled wryly through the fan: "Does Senior Liang think that the position of head of the Yan family will only be passed on to me?"

Tranquility thought for a while, and said, "Master Yan Shishi, can you tell me a little bit?"

Shen Yan felt Yan Lingxi's intentional or unintentional hints in his eyes, he hummed, turned and walked out of the room.Feng Zhezhi also knew that this was a communication within the Wulin Alliance, nodded slightly, and also exited the room, closing the door behind him.

"The Yan family has four departments, the engineering department, the case department, the military department and the film department. I am actually only in charge of the military department. The engineering department is in charge of manufacturing, and the film department is in charge of news. The third sister Yanlu is in charge of the two departments. The case department is in charge of management. The second brother and my father are in charge." Yan Lingxi said softly, making sure that the voice was so low that only the people in the room could hear clearly.

"That is to say, the Yan family has three points of power." Ning Jingyuan concluded.

"Ha." Yan Lingxi narrowed his eyes and lowered his voice: "Senior Liang, don't blame me. In fact, before I set off, I knew you would be attacked on the road."

"Because the third lady prevented us from picking up the darts and arranged for us to take a specific boat." Tranquility added coldly.

Liang Shisan did not show hostility, but instead expressed his own point of view: "You think that the person who initiated this attack was Jiang Yuelou, and it will not affect us. On the contrary, it can also get the initiative. Yueyang Tower puts pressure on them."

After Yan Lingxi heard it, his face was full of admiration: "Senior Liang understands me, it's really late." But the subject changed, "But I thought this game was a game between me and Ye Fengting. There are third parties and fourth parties."

Ning Jingyuan was taken aback, "A third party?"

Yan Lingxi shook his fan, staring at Jing Jingyuan's deep blue eyes: "Brother Jingyuan met a young man surnamed Li along the way."

A trace of uneasiness flashed across Ning Jingyuan's calm expression: "Yes. And I think Jiang Yuelou's actions are all targeting him. What kind of relationship does he have with Jiang Yuelou?"

Yan Lingxi smiled: "Jiangyue Louzhu Du Lingbei, his only living blood relative. Jiangyuelou's most reasonable successor."

Ning Jingyuan said bluntly: "But he has no interest in Jiang Yuelou at all, and he doesn't even care about anything."

Yan Lingxi raised her eyebrows: "Oh? Really anything?"

Ning Jingyuan's calm face was slightly gloomy, and he fell into silence.Yan Lingxi laughed it off, and then continued: "From the moment you left Shu by boat, you have been followed by the ink and shadow department of the Yan family. Tracking is what they are best at.

"That is to say, this fourth party is the third lady of the Yan family?" Ning Jingyuan said.

Yan Lingxi patted Tranquility on the shoulder, and continued to smile friendlyly: "Of course not. Although the third sister accepted Ye Fengting's proposal to kill Li Qingzhou, she would not seriously injure Liang and Shen, at least not to the two of them. Senior Liang from the Martial Arts Alliance took action. However, the current situation has forced Jiang Yue to seek death. At the same time, Ye Fengting came forward to mediate, and it will be a double gain..."

"But Ye Fengting doesn't seem to know about this situation beforehand." Murong Yimo expressed a little confusion.

"That's right, he's just trying to dismantle his tricks, but this trick is too good." Yan Lingxi clicked his lips and continued, "That's why I want to tell you that his next step is to dismantle this black pot." The water was splashed on our Yan family's head."

"If the Yan family hurts Senior Liang, it is against the Yunxuan sect. Then this basin of black water originally belonged to your Yan family." Ning Jingyuan's words were still cold.

"Oh." Yan Lingxi shook his head again and again: "Brother Jingyuan, you really can't help boasting. When did I say that this black water belongs to our Yan family? And think about it, the third sister would be so stupid as to be with Yunxuanmen now. Is it right? The fourth party that hurt your master is the Turks."

"Turkic?" Not to mention Tranquility, Liang Shisan was also confused.

"The Yan family is the biggest force in Hedong. When the Yan family attacked Khitan last year, the largest supplier of military equipment to our dynasty was the ink industry department of the Yan family. The martial arts alliance can develop with great fanfare relying on the contribution of the Yan family to the court. If the Yan family and Yunxuan Men and Jiangyuelou are in opposition, not only the martial arts alliance is on the verge of collapse, but also the imperial court will be hit. Therefore, this fourth force not only wants to make the martial arts chaotic, but also wants to make the imperial court turbulent. Then, only the Turks and Khitans in the north Now, the Khitan is subordinate to the Turks, so the fourth party is the Turks.”

"So, this kind of saber technique. I should have thought of it a long time ago." Murong Yimo nodded, "It really looks like the Hu tribe in the north."

Afterwards, the whole room became silent, and Yan Lingxi couldn't help breaking the embarrassment: "Hey, I said, what do you mean by being silent! I have already analyzed it, and the most important thing now is not to let Ye Fengting splash the black water There must be no discord between the Yan family and the alliance."

Ning Jingyuan said: "Master Yan Shishi, didn't you say before that Miss San and Ye Fengting are in a cooperative relationship. How could Ye Fengting stab back?"

Yan Lingxi sighed, "Sigh. When Ye Fengting becomes the landlord, what he wants most is the split of the alliance. 'The third lady of the Yan family followed and attacked the chief of Yunxuanmen', this kind of speech is quite lethal."

"Yan Shishi is called 'Ghost Conspiracy', we don't need to fight with the axe." Ning Jingyuan finished speaking, opened the door, and saw Feng Zhezhi standing outside the door carrying a bowl of ginseng soup, and the bowl was steaming. It made her beautiful eyes look more clear and moist.

"Sorry, I didn't intend to eavesdrop..." Feng Zhezhi was a little at a loss.

"It's okay, thank you Miss Feng for taking care of my teacher." Ning Jingyuan smiled calmly.

"Boom!" Suddenly there was a sound of cracking wooden products, and a tall black figure directly broke through the window.

Feng Zhezhi was startled, and the bowl fell straight to the floor with shaking hands.Ning Jingyuan had quick eyes and quick hands, and quickly squatted down to support the falling pottery bowl.

When Yan Lingxi saw the person who broke in through the window, he was suddenly filled with resentment, thinking why he was always offended by this person's weird behavior, and he shouted at the person: "Cheng, Tian, ​​Ya! This is the medical center. Can you come in through the front door?"

Cheng Tianya, who was dressed in gold-painted black, was brushing off the sawdust on his body. Hearing what Yan Lingxi said, he frowned slightly, turned around and turned out of the wooden window again.

"Why did he go out again?" Murong Yimo asked suspiciously.

Ning Jingyuan got up calmly, and put the bowl in his hand on the table in the room. Feng Zhezhi's face flushed, and he felt sorry for his mistake just now.

There were extremely fast and low footsteps in the corridor, and then Cheng Tianya walked in, looking down at Yan Lingxi who was a head shorter than him, his eyes were full of dissatisfaction.

Yan Lingxi rolled her eyes and said, "Are you stupid? After breaking through the window, you turned back?"

Cheng Tianya shrugged: "Seeing that you are angry, I had no choice but to turn back and walk through the main entrance. Okay, let's get down to business, something happened."
