After leaving Jiuyuan Villa this time, Shen Yu did not go directly to Lingyan Pavilion, but walked a long way northward to Tailin County.

Tailin County is at the foot of Tailin Fairy Mountain. When Shen Yu and Bai Yi were practicing together in the Fairy Temple, they went down the mountain to play in the county town a few times because they couldn't stand the loneliness.

Probably because it is adjacent to the fairy mountain, most of the people in Tailin County pay homage to the Buddha, and they are more kind-hearted. It is considered one of the best places in Yanzhou for public security.

There is an endless stream of believers from all over the world who come to Xianshan to see the demeanor of Buddha, making Tailin County very lively all year round.

What Shen Yu was going to was the Xingye Tavern located in the east of the city.

What she was looking for was Yu Xing.

When parting from Mo Sun before, he told Shen Yu that if there was something urgent, he would go to the Xingye Tavern to find Yu Xing and hand over the letter to him.

It has been half a year since we parted from Yu Xing. When Shen Yu arrived at the entrance of Xingye Tavern wearing stars and wearing moons, he felt a little uneasy, wondering if Yu Xing would still recognize her.

She got off her horse at the entrance of the tavern, and soon a young man with sharp eyelids came to lead the horse for her.

Shen Yu handed over the horse to the young man, shook the snowflakes on the cloak, adjusted his wide-brimmed hat, and followed another young man who came to meet him into the tavern.

As soon as she entered, the servant smiled and asked her, "What would you like to drink, young master?"

She was also in a hurry this trip, dressed in black, deliberately pretending to be a young master.

Shen Yu was already slender, with his hair coiled up high, his face covered by a wide-brimmed hat and a square scarf around his neck, he looked like a young man, but a little thinner.

She ignored the boy, walked straight to the counter, looked directly at the guy at the counter who heard the movement, and said in a low voice: "Call your shopkeeper."

After saying this, she raised her hand and took out the long sword hanging from her waist, and buckled it gently on the cabinet, which seemed quite menacing.

This long sword was bestowed by the eminent monk Hong Dao.The body of the sword is white jade, killing people without blood.

The clerk at the counter was lowering his head to settle accounts, when he heard someone walking towards him, he subconsciously raised his head and glanced at him. As a result, he met a pair of deep, slightly red eyes, and his breath stopped immediately.

The young man in black who walked over quickly had a strong aura, and when he drew his long sword, he had a murderous aura, which frightened the guy who settled the accounts.

The people in front of them looked like knights walking the rivers and lakes. They had encountered some bandits and hooligans since the tavern opened, but they had never seen anything like this young man in black in front of him.

The man nodded sensibly, put his abacus aside, and trotted upstairs.

Not long after, Shen Yu saw the guy who had just gone upstairs come down again, standing at the stairs and waving to Shen Yu.

Shen Yu nodded slightly, put away his sword and walked over unhurriedly, but thought in his heart, it seems that sometimes wearing some intimidating outfits can speed up the work efficiency a lot.

"Please, young man, my shopkeeper is waiting for you upstairs." The clerk bowed respectfully and led Shen Yu up.

When he arrived in the room, Shen Yu immediately recognized Yu Xing who was sitting behind the large mahogany desk.

Seeing her, Yu Xing said to the guy behind him, "Go down first."

As soon as the clerk left, Shen Yu looked around and saw that there were only the two of them, and the fire was burning in the room, so he took off the cloak, wide hat, square scarf, etc. one by one.

"Miss Shen, it really is you." Yu Xing smiled slightly, got up and walked over, beckoning Shen Yu to sit down.

Shen Yu was busy all the way, and he also wanted to sit down and have a sip of hot tea before talking.

"Brother Yu, today is really presumptuous." Shen Yu sat down and cupped his fists at Yu Xing.

Yu Xing smiled and waved his hands, "No problem, Miss Shen's visit this time is for Mo Falcon, right?"

Shen Yu nodded and said sincerely, "That's right. I hope Brother Yu will contact Brother Mo on my behalf."

"It's a small matter. Miss Shen drank tea, and then a letter is enough, and I will pass it to Mo Falcon for you."

Shen Yu stayed at Xingye Tavern that night.

She just wrote a letter in the room where she saw Mo Falcon, and after handing it over to Yu Xing for safekeeping, the matter will be considered completed.

She didn't ask Yu Xing how to contact Mo Sun, thinking that it might be a secret between them, she didn't say much.

In the letter, she briefly explained the situation, earnestly asked for Mo Falcon's help, and said that she would solemnly thank him after it was done.Shen Yu expressed that he was willing to obey Mo Falcon's orders, and explained that Jiang Yi's matter was not only a grievance between them and Guangyuanmen, but also probably involved King Jing's rebellion, so Bai Yi would definitely participate .She said in the letter that she knew that Mo Fun cared about her hometown the most, and that if it really helped the stability of the current imperial court, Bai Yi would definitely play around with her brother and send appeasement envoys to the villages and towns in the deep mountains of Jinzhou.

Shen Yu was sure that when it comes to this matter, Mo Fun is a person who values ​​friendship and loyalty, so he will definitely come to help her.

At the end of the letter, Shen Yu said that she was waiting for Mo Falcon's news in Lingyan Pavilion.

After leaving Xingye Tavern, Shen Yu immediately went south and headed straight to Lingyan Pavilion.

From Tailin County to Ling County, there are two roads to go through Tailin Fairy Mountain.One is the mountain road, although it is a bit difficult to walk, but it is a shortcut; the other is a spacious and flat official road, but it takes a longer journey to go around the mountain.

Shen Yu walked along the mountain road, and stopped involuntarily when he passed a fork, and looked towards the endless mountains at the end of the fork.

This fork is the road to the fairy temple on Tailin fairy mountain. Those believers who come to pray for Buddha and burn incense must go up the mountain from here.

Looking through the snow-covered mountains in the distance, I can still vividly remember the days in Xiansi.

Shen Yu sighed softly, suppressed his inner emotions, grabbed the reins, whipped the horse and drove away.

------

After traveling for two days, it was already late at night when we arrived at Lingyan Pavilion.

Shen Yu did not enter through the main entrance, but chose the side entrance located in the northeast of the entire Lingyan Pavilion complex.Entering through the northeast gate, it will not take long to reach the place where Bai Yi and other elite disciples of Lingyan Pavilion live.

Fortunately, she also stayed in Lingyan Pavilion for a long time, and the guards guarding the gate still remembered her and entered the courtyard unimpeded.

Shen Yu was impatient, so he rode his horse directly to the front of the small building where Bai Yi lived.

She tied the horse under a big tree outside, and hurriedly walked towards the courtyard gate.

Walking to the door, Shen Yu knocked on the iron ring in the mouth of the stone lion on the door, making a lot of noise.

"Bai Yi—" Shen Yu looked up, and called inside a few times.

In the silent night, her cries were especially loud.

After waiting for a while without hearing anything, Shen Yu looked around helplessly.

There is no one on the trails on the left and right sides, this garden is Bai Yi's territory, and the servants patrolling with lanterns from Lingyan Pavilion do not come here.

With a thought in his mind, Shen Yu took a few steps back, then rushed forward and stepped on the wall a few times, easily turned over the top of the wall and jumped down.

Perhaps because of the snow on the ground, Shen Yu didn't make any big noise when he fell.

She walked towards the small building in the yard, and as soon as she reached the center of the yard, she heard an unhappy voice above her head, "You are bold, trespassing on this princess' mansion."

Shen Yu looked up, and saw Bai Yi lying lazily by the fence on the second floor, looking down at her.

Shen Yu breathed a sigh of relief, a little happy, and said with a smile: "So you are here, I thought you were not in the Lingyan Pavilion, and I almost made a trip for nothing."

Bai Yi went down to open the door for Shen Yu. When she saw her, she yawned and said, "I thought I would see you after the Lantern Festival. Why did you come back so soon? If you have anything to say, just tell me."

The stove in Bai Yi's room was also very hot, but since the Lingyan Pavilion is not on the mountain, it doesn't hurt to wear unlined clothes to keep the house warm.

Shen Yu took off his cloak, shook the snowflakes on it, and then sat down and slowly told Bai Yi the ins and outs.

Bai Yi's expression turned ugly after hearing this.She said in an almost certain tone: "This matter must have something to do with King Jing, I can't sit still and wait for death."

"Why are you so sure?" Shen Yu took a sip of hot tea, then picked up the shortbread on the table and started eating.

"Rely on the timing and method of attack." Bai Yi said unhurriedly, "If it's just targeting Jiang Yi, why not attack Jiang Yuan just after he disappeared. Wasn't the time when Jiuyuan Villa was leaderless? Also, we It can be seen that they didn't want Jiang Yi's life, they should use her. Besides, since we met King Jing in Guangnan last spring and summer, I have asked Ji Chenghe to pay more attention, and Write a letter to my brother who is far away in the capital."

"A few days ago when I came back from the temple, Ji Chenghe showed me a lot of evidence. My elder brother King Jing is probably going to do something." Bai Yi sneered.

Shen Yu was startled, and said, "Since this is the case, there is already evidence, why don't you hand it over to the court and let your brother send troops?"

"It's not that easy." Bai Yi shook his head, "The struggle for power doesn't happen overnight. My brother hasn't established a firm foothold in the court, and King Jing, King Yan, and King Qi all have forces in the court. Besides, the emperor's health is not very good now, my brother is busy serving the imperial court, and is busy trying to gain power in court, at this moment, it is not the best time to deal with King Jing."

"Actually, I'm also puzzled..." Bai Yi glanced at Shen Yu, "Why did they have to find Jiang Yi?"

The two looked at each other, and then lowered their eyes to think about it at the same time.

"Two possibilities." Shen Yu took a deep breath and said, "Maybe Zhuangzhu Jiang is still alive. I told you just now that the senior sister went to the danger because of the Zhuangzhu's token. Maybe they wanted to threaten Jiang. The owner. The other one is related to King Jing."

"Maybe these two can be combined into one." Bai Yi smiled slightly.

Shen Yu thought for a moment, then realized Bai Yi's meaning, and said in surprise: "You mean, not only is Jiang Zhuangzhu very likely to be alive, but he is also working hard for your imperial brother?"

"Very likely." Bai Yi nodded.

"That's impossible." Shen Yu immediately retorted, "Master Jiang is a member of the rivers and lakes, how could he be confused with the temple."

"The eminent monk Hong Dao is also a member of the rivers and lakes, so he also accepted me, a royal disciple, as his disciple?" Bai Yi snorted coldly, "Did you forget that when I was in the fairy temple, the master said that Jiang Yuan's master is the returnee?" Daoist Xuan, then you know that Daoist Guixuan was originally related to the royal family."

Shen Yu was taken aback for a moment, how could she know what Bai Yi said.

"There are countless people who know martial arts in the world, but those who have internal strength and strong martial arts are rare. These people can be counted as ten, and riding a horse into the enemy's camp is like entering no one's land." Bai Yi said leisurely, "Imagine, the imperial guards guarding the palace As well as the Beijing Defense Army guarding the capital, if there are no generals who can stand up to ten, how can the royal family feel at ease?"

Shen Yu understood.

"In fact, although Daoist Guixuan and the eminent monk Hong Dao have been friends for many years, their ideas of educating people are completely different. Daoist Guixuan is very similar to the Taifu who taught at the Taixue in Beijing. He is willing to accept disciples, and he has peaches and plums all over the world. He set up a temple on Hengyang Mountain in the suburbs of Beijing. In addition to teaching Taoism, he will also teach martial arts. Now in the Imperial Army and the Beijing Defense Army, a small number of generals have learned from Taoist Guixuan People's martial arts, and later became a general after showing their prowess in the army." Bai Yi explained, "In this way, Jiang Yuan is the proud disciple of Daoist Guixuan, and the Shanhe Spear was passed on from him. Going against his master's last wish."

Seeing that Shen Yu couldn't understand again, Bai Yi had no choice but to continue to explain: "Daoist Guixuan enjoyed a lot of honor and favor from the royal family during his lifetime. My father respected Taoism and worshiped Buddha, and he sent royal craftsmen to repair the Taoist temples on Hengyang Mountain. Guixuan Daoist Xuan likes to be clean and doesn’t like disputes. His ideal is to have a more stable court and less wars. If Jiang Yuan is still there, but he has not returned to Jiuyuan Villa for so long, it must be related to this matter.”

Shen Yu seemed to be awakened suddenly, she stood up suddenly, and said, "You reminded me. I read the files of the villa's records a long time ago. The disappearance of Jiang Zhuang that year was due to a secret southward operation." .Because he had almost no entourage, and he didn't mention it to anyone, so no one knows where he went. But before he disappeared, there were records in the file of some of his actions when he was still in the villa. Among them are the He has personally participated in several business transactions with Liutai."

"At that time, I didn't think there was anything wrong. Now, combined with what I saw and heard in Guangnan last time, looking back, I only feel suspicious." Shen Yu said a little excitedly, "You say, Jiang Zhuang went south, In fact, the goal is not Guangnan Prefecture, but Liutai?"

Bai Yi also understood, and replied: "I understand what you mean. We knew before that the relationship between Liutai and Guangyuanmen was ambiguous, and now we can clearly see that King Jing is hooking up with Guangyuanmen. From this we can see that this All three are of the same species."

The two looked at each other again and laughed at the same time.

"As long as you can see through the enemy's premeditation, then this battle is not too difficult." Bai Yi was a little relaxed, and his words were quite relieved.

Shen Yu didn't feel relaxed, she sighed, and said, "Yes, but right now, Senior Sister's poison has not been cured yet."

Bai Yi looked over, and comforted her in a rare soft voice, and finally she asked: "Will Mo Falcon come?"

"He will definitely come, let's wait for his news." Shen Yu said firmly.
