Ye Linzhi couldn't laugh or cry when he found out about Ye Zhiming's bet with a child.

Ye Linzhi: "How old are you? How talented was Zhou Xian then? Let alone one hand, you were brought up by the master of the villa, even if you let him have two hands and two legs, he might not be able to touch one of you." finger."

Ye Zhiming sat on the top of a tree, gnawed a pear with one hand, and said carelessly: "He first said that I was a coward, brother, are you making me pretend I didn't hear anything?"

"Is it worth taking a child's words seriously?"

"I can have everything in Hidden Sword Villa, except for cowards!" Ye Zhiming jumped down from the top of the tree and rolled his eyes, "Don't worry, brother, I won't really fight him, So what if we win? Victory is unwarranted."

Ye Linzhi smiled, "You still know?"

Ye Zhiming clicked his tongue, scratched his neck, turned around and threw the pear pit up the tree, and it just happened to get stuck between two branches, and it landed steadily.

Ye Linzhi looked at him, "What are you going to do? Since you have made an appointment to fight, you can't shirk it at will."

Ye Zhiming smiled, his eyes bent into beautiful crescents, "I won't shirk, but it doesn't mean that some people will not retreat in spite of difficulties."

Ye Linzhi was stunned, "You mean...?"

When Qin Wan's senior brother came back with the news, he was accompanied by an immortal Taoist priest, whose expression was cold and indifferent, as if he could not eat the fireworks of the world.Behind him is a scarlet sky red lotus, the sword is three feet long, and the blade seems to have a faint purple light.

Daoist was tall and tall, and when he saw everyone, he just nodded slightly to say hello.

"This is...?" The other party didn't speak, so Ye Linzhi had no choice but to go forward and salute, "Ye Linzhi in Xiazangjia Villa, this is my junior brother Ye Zhiming, I don't know what to call him?"

"... Liangyi."

Ye Zhiming was stunned for a moment, "A good doctor? The priest also knows a little bit about medicine?"

Liang Yi's face was expressionless, and his slender and slightly hanging eyes glanced at Ye Zhiming.

Ye Linzhi grabbed his junior brother, who was not successful enough but not good enough, and said with a smile, "It turns out that he is Taoist priest of Liangyi, do you know if he has a Taoist name?"

Liang Yi: "...picking green seeds."

This Liangyi only answered every time he asked, and he didn't look very easy to get along with. Ye Zhiming lost interest after observing him for a moment, and turned his eyes to Senior Brother Qin Wan, who was smiling all the time, who was the complete opposite of Liangyi.

Brother Qin Wan is a person who likes to travel abroad. He is knowledgeable and knowledgeable. It is said that he is not only superb in medical skills, but also proficient in unique martial arts that are not known to others. Many young masters and girls from famous families wanted to get acquainted with him.

"Senior Brother Xia." Qin Wan stepped forward to talk to Xia Yu, "Brother left a letter in a hurry a few days ago and left, Wan'er was very worried."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Xia Yu smiled, her black hair was tied at the end of her hair casually, she wore a wide-sleeved robe, a jade gourd pinned to her waist, and a small bundle on her back, "I'm writing to call you After coming here, I found the clues of the plague, so I didn’t have time to explain it to you, junior sister won’t blame me, right?”

"Of course not. Senior brother is thinking of the villagers. How could Wan'er not understand?" Qin Wan said, "Senior brother, what did you find out?"

"This is not a place to talk." Xia Yu glanced at Li Min, "Will General Li not give you some saliva?"

"Oh! Look at my memory!" General Li slapped his forehead, and hurriedly turned to let someone in, "You two have worked hard all the way, have you eaten yet?"

"Not yet." Xia Yu made a gesture of invitation to Liang Yi, Liang Yi then walked forward slowly, Xia Yu followed him a few steps, whispered something to him, Liang Yi hesitated for a moment , nodded.

Li Min looked at him, then at Liang Yi, "Mr. Xia... But what's wrong?"

"No, no." Xia Yu waved his hand, "Just looking at the rudimentary tent, I thought it was done hastily, and I didn't want to cause more trouble for us Tiance officers and men, so I want to invite Daoist Liangyi to live with me."

Saying that, Xia Yu looked at Liangyi with a smile again, "Thank you Liangyi for not giving up."

Liang Yi nodded indifferently, walked a few steps and found that someone's eyes were glued to his body, at first he didn't intend to care about it, but he saw this kind of sight a lot along the way, so don't take it to heart .

This is probably the case for everyone in the world, Liang Yi thought: things that have nothing to do with oneself are more interesting.

Xia Yu also noticed this line of sight, unlike Liang Yi who ignored it, he turned his head to look and met Zhou Xian's gaze.

Zhou Xian followed Li Min step by step, like a small personal guard, with a small wooden sword on his back, with a serious face and a decent appearance.

Xia Yu rubbed his chin, "General Li Min has a new apprentice?"

"En?" Li Min followed his gaze and laughed, "This is Zhou Xian. This kid is clamoring all day long to go to the front to fight and defend his home and country. I think he is determined and courageous. It was transferred from the city gate."

"So that's the case." Xia Yu nodded, stretched out his hand and rubbed the child's head, "Why do you want to protect your home and country?"

Zhou Xian: "A man should be like this!"

Xia Yu snorted, "What if it's not a man?"

Zhou Xian was stunned for a moment, "Baojia...bao...uh, family refers to everything, everything."

"So it should be protected by men?"

"Yes!"

Xia Yu shook his head, "I have been to the battlefield, and there are not only sons and daughters there. Some men are greedy for life and fear death, even women are inferior; some women can also carry a gun and mount a horse, and the temperament of a woman is not inferior to a man."

Li Min flicked Zhou Xian's head, "General Xuanwei is a man?"

Zhou Xian's face flushed red.

Ye Zhiming looked amusedly and giggled, Zhou Xian was annoyed and turned to stare at him.Ye Zhiming stuck out his tongue and made a grimace.

Xia Yu said: "It's good for you to have courage and ideas, but you can't take everything for granted. I think your general should first teach you how to dance the gun in your hand down-to-earth. Only when you protect yourself can you protect others, eh? "

Zhou Xian didn't understand what he heard, and frowned, but he didn't refute.He has also heard of Xia Yu's name, and knowing that he has seen many people and things, he naturally admires him, so he bowed his head and said obediently, "Yes."

Li Min smiled, "This kid, don't think he is very obedient now, if he doesn't admit that you have some abilities, he won't obey you obediently."

"Really?" Xia Yu laughed, and Zhou Xian's temper seemed to hit his liking, "Brother Xian, we heroes see the same thing!"

Ye Zhiming's reaction was half a beat slow, and he came back to it belatedly - so this kid didn't take himself seriously at all?He is the majestic young master of the Ye family!To be underestimated by a brat? !

Ye Zhiming was furious, and was grabbed by Ye Linzhi, who looked at him helplessly and shook his head silently.

What does that mean——there are still outsiders, is this going to embarrass the villa?

Ye Zhiming pursed his mouth and fell silent.

Zhou Xian was completely unaware of the dark tide in Ye Zhiming's heart. When they entered the tent, Li Min said, "All of you here are no outsiders. I would like to thank Cangjian Villa for passing by, and the brothers and sisters in Wanhua Valley. Thank you very much." The love is beyond words, and I will show up to the emperor in the future, and I will never monopolize the credit!"

Ye Linzhi returned the salute, "Where does the general say, it's a good thing to say that."

Liang Yi, who had been silent all this time, also said: "Comfort the villagers, bring the criminals to justice and bring them to justice."

He always seemed to cut off half of his speech, and refused to finish it once, but Xia Yu seemed to be used to it, and helped him continue, saying: "Save those who need to be rescued, catch those who need to be arrested, and you will be worthy of the people of Li."

Li Min nodded, "Brother Xia and Taoist Liangyi are righteous! I admire you!"

Xia Yudao: "Let me tell you the ins and outs of the whole thing. Before General Li Min's troops arrived, I traveled all the way, and when I passed by Chang'an, I planned to visit a friend's house, but I ran into Tianshan Village before I entered the city. There were great changes, many villagers fled from the village, and there were still many dead bodies that were intercepted along the way."

"Interception?!" Ye Zhiming couldn't help raising his tone, "Didn't you mean the plague? What's the matter with interception?"

Xia Yu said: "On the second day after Tianshan Village experienced major changes, I met people who had escaped from the village on the way. They were a pair of orphans and widows. "

Liang Yi frowned, as if he felt a little uncomfortable, Xia Yu patted him on the shoulder, and Liang Yi's expression slowly eased.

Li Min looked at Liangyi strangely, then at Xia Yu, and Qin Wan's expression on the side was also a bit complicated.

Xia Yu didn't seem to notice it, and said: "According to what the mother said, a group of men in black suddenly broke into the village the night before. They had red fire marks sewn on their cuffs. As soon as they entered the village, they started killing people without saying a word. Died by the knife, her husband had traveled far away and hadn't returned home, so her parents-in-law hid her and the child in a wooden box under the bed, and she dared not crawl out until the outside was completely quiet."

Xia Yu thought of the woman's words, and her smiling face, which was as warm as a spring breeze, couldn't help being covered with a layer of cold killing intent.

"The woman wanted to go out to ask for help, but found that the village was dead, and there was almost no one left. The rest of them were drugged with some kind of drug, and they were all unconscious. No matter how they shouted, they would not answer Afterwards, a cloud of blue smoke began to fill the village, and she was afraid that it would be harmful to the child, so she escaped from the back mountain."

Ye Zhiming was puzzled, "She didn't go to Chang'an City to report to the officials after she escaped, but ran to the opposite place? Why?"

Xia Yu said: "I asked her, but she just shook her head and said she couldn't report to the police. I wanted to ask more clearly, but she refused to say anything."

Liang Yi then said: "Yu sent her mother and son to me all the way. The woman probably used up all her strength when she escaped, and her spirit collapsed after confirming her safety. Now she can't ask why. Come."

Qin Wan frowned, "Senior brother can't do anything?"

"There is no way." Xia Yu shook his head, "She was too stimulated, so she can only take care of it slowly, and maybe she will return to normal in the future."

Qin Wan said: "The villagers who are still alive are all unconscious, and General Li and I have not been able to find out anything. We thought it was just caused by an ordinary plague infection. How could we have thought..."

Qin Wan shook her head, "If I take a drug that makes people unconscious, how can I not be able to diagnose and treat it?"

Liang Yi looked at her, "Because this is not an ordinary medicine, and the person who gave it is not an ordinary person."

Everyone else looked at him, he looked around, and said indifferently: "This is a premeditated poisoning case, the perpetrators are cruel, and the ultimate goal is to frame."

"Planting?" Zhou Xian's eyes widened when he heard this. He has been guarding the gate of Chang'an City for so long, and he left early and returned late every day. The biggest thing he encountered was two or three small sects fighting privately in Chang'an City. This is really unheard of now. .

Ye Zhiming knocked him on the head, "Stupid, if this matter gets to the emperor, what will he think?"

"...ordered a thorough investigation? Then, the relevant officials were held accountable?"

Li Min said: "Accountability is certain, but the most important thing is that this place is not far from the imperial city. What is the consequence of doing such things at the feet of the emperor?"

Ye Linzhi was thoughtful, "The emperor will only think that someone deliberately provoked the imperial power, and if the emperor gets angry, it will not be one or two small officials who will be unlucky."

Zhou Xian was confused when he heard that, "Investigate as you want, and hold accountable when you should be held accountable. How can you... be implicated?"

Ye Zhiming laughed, "Wood-headed, you still don't believe that you are a wood. If the emperor is as simple-minded as you, who would worry about the crime of slipping the tongue? You don't even think about the former Xuanjia Cangyun..."

Ye Linzhi stopped immediately and said, "Ming'er!"

Ye Zhiming stopped his mouth, smacked his mouth, and looked away, Zhou Xian frowned and looked at Ye Linzhi, Ye Linzhi said expressionlessly: "Is it possible for us to speak freely about royal matters?"

Xia Yu glanced at Ye Zhiming and smiled, "Brother Xian is still young, so it's a good thing to be straightforward and honest."

He paused, then said: "I think what Liangyi said is reasonable, no matter how you look at it, it's a frame-up, but our emperor may not think so, it's a troubled time, and the Tiance Mansion has already suffered huge losses , but still has to support Cang Yun at this juncture, it is still beyond his power. General Li was ordered to return to the court, and the border gate was temporarily rested. Didn't I discover it beforehand?"

Li Min was stunned, "When we arrive, Tianshan Village must have become a dead village. Even if there are survivors, they will be insane and can't explain why."

"General Li reported this matter, and the people above will naturally investigate. General Li said it was a plague, but what will this investigation find?"

Ye Zhiming blurted out, "The villager who was killed?"

Xia Yu nodded, "The general has had a hard time traveling, so naturally he won't stop and investigate in detail. I only found those bones after I settled the mother and child first and then returned. It's in the woods of the back mountain, and it's everywhere. It's hard to say. It wasn't caused by the other party's intentional throwing of the body. Those scars, I knew it was murder at a glance, not to mention that the yamen has a special operation? At that time, as long as a careful investigation is made, it will be known that it is a murder case. General Lee."

Zhou Xian's eyes widened, "What do you have to do with the general? It makes no sense!"

"General Li, as a member of the Tiance Mansion, passed by the slaughtered village but didn't notice anything strange inside. No matter what the reasons are, malfeasance cannot escape."

Zhou Xian slapped the table, "Absurd! Tianshan Village is not under the jurisdiction of General Li, how can it be dereliction of duty!"

"What does Tiance Mansion mean in our Tang Dynasty?" Xia Yu looked at him, "What's more, how can the emperor, who is in a rage, think about these things? It is very possible to pass by the murderer, how can the emperor not blame him?"

Ye Zhiming rolled his eyes, "Involving Tiance Mansion is just one of the chains of framing, there are two, three and the ultimate goal."

Xia Yu looked up at the fair-skinned young man in surprise. He and Ye Linzhi had met once, but Ye Zhiming had never seen him before. The first impression was that he was a young man who was a little playful and flirtatious. Seeing the arrogance unique to him at that age, but now it seems that this young man is actually smarter and more thoughtful than imagined.

"That's right, this is just one of them." Xia Yu nodded, folded his hands in front of his chest, and said slowly: "The second is the Five Immortals Sect in the Bashu area, the third is the ownership of Heilongmao, and the ultimate goal is to isolate Chengdu. , so that the murderer can take advantage of it."
