[Sword Three] Curate Tibet. Bet

In the lobby of the empty inn, Ye Zhiming squatted on the steps to play with the little panda, his face was full of surprise, he didn't know where to put his hands, and wanted to hug him, but he was afraid of scaring the little guy , had no choice but to take a piece of bamboo given to him by the man from Tangmen and dangle it on top of the panda's head.

The little black and white guy turned over with his head up, finally sat up, stared blankly for a while, then turned around on hands and feet, and continued to crawl towards Ye Zhiming.

Ye Zhiming clutched his chest, his eyes almost popped out, Zhou Xian couldn't see his stupid look, coughed dryly on the side, and said: "So, you were just looking for this little guy, and happened to meet that... Uncle?"

The man from Tangmen nodded, glanced at the panda cub, and found that he was about to roll down the stairs. He touched it lightly with his toes under its belly, and easily brought it back to its original position, as if it had been done a long time ago. Thousands of times.

Ye Zhiming leaned over and rubbed the panda's head tentatively with his fingers. Seeing that it didn't respond, he boldly hugged the little guy into his arms, rubbed and touched his face, and couldn't put it down.

The man from Tangmen glanced at Ye Zhiming, as if he was sure that he really liked the little guy, then he turned his eyes to Zhou Xian and said, "The dead one is called Li Yang, a wealthy businessman in this area, but his family's money The origin is unknown, and I can't get along with some dubious bullies in the local area, and I can recognize the three people he taught."

The man from the Tang Sect turned his head to look down the stairs, and the two men and a woman immediately crawled over on their knees, bowed their heads and said, "Thank you Mr. Zhen for saving your life!!"

"Zhen?" Ye Zhiming seemed to be thinking of something, pinched the panda's ears with his fingers, "I remember that there was a capable person in Sichuan called Zhen, and his full name...uh..."

"Tang Chen." The Tangmen man answered the words lightly, with a bit of surprise in his eyes, "You recognize me?"

"Tang Zhen! Yes!" Ye Zhiming laughed, "I heard a friend mention you. He said that although Tang Sect has Tang Zhen in terms of mechanism art creativity, Wanhuagu Mingquan is better in terms of the exquisiteness and practicality of mechanisms." Outperformed."

When mentioning mechanism technique, Tang Zhen became a little interested. He thought for a while and said, "I've heard about Mingquan, but I haven't seen a real person... It's not convenient to comment."

Ye Zhiming was a little surprised, and glanced at him, "I thought you were a difficult person when I first saw you, but I didn't expect you to be quite polite."

Although Tang Zhen was wearing a half mask, he let down his guard at this moment, and the aura on his body eased a lot.The corners of his mouth curled up, and the cold mask seemed to look amiable.

He went down the stairs first, got the three kneeling people up, turned around and introduced to Ye Zhiming and Zhou Xian: "These three people used to be my Tang Sect disciples, but they left the Tang Sect and lived the lives of ordinary people. Ever since Li Yang came to Chengdu, the area has been messed up by him. These three people know how to make some simple mechanisms, but he seized the opportunity and threatened to help him do business. The local government didn't care about it. In the past one or two years Li Yang's actions became more daring, and he dared to stretch his claws to the door of the government. Those officials who are profitable even turned a blind eye. I sent a letter to us asking for help before, and I planned to deal with Li Yang, but I happened to meet him today, so I can only blame him for his bad luck."

Tang Zhen's local accent was very strong, and after speaking too fast, Ye Zhiming and Zhou Xian could half understand some words, they reacted silently for a while and probably understood the meaning, then they glanced at each other, and they both saw each other There are four words in his eyes, "just plan and plan".

Ye Zhiming twitched his lips and said, "Since this is the case, then Li Yang is really self-inflicted and can't live. I just listened to what brother Yue said. Li Yang's background is complicated. Will he cause unnecessary trouble if he dies so easily?" trouble?"

Tang Chen said: "I will take the three of them back to the Tang Sect temporarily. Even if there are people behind Li Yang, I bet he won't dare to come to the Tang Sect."

Ye Zhiming said: "My younger brother naturally believes in the deterrent power of the Tang Sect in Sichuan, but I am afraid that those people will not give up easily. After all, destroying people's business means cutting off other people's life. If they cut off their life, they will always jump over the wall in a hurry."

Tang Zhen frowned, "Then what do you mean...?"

"As I said just now, my younger brother is from Cangjian Villa. Zhou Xian is my young apprentice who is considered half of the villa. Everyone in the Cangjian Villa knows it. If you want to come to the Yue brother, you should also know that the most indispensable thing in the Cangjian Villa. What is it?"

Before Tang Zhen could speak, the three young men came to their senses, "Money! Oh no... business! It's still a weapon business!"

Ye Zhiming nodded with a smile, "If I, Hidden Sword Villa, join hands with the Tang Sect, what will outsiders think?"

Tang Zhen frowned, as if he hadn't figured it out yet, and the three young men also looked bewildered, Zhou Xian said, "Outsiders won't think that this is because the Tang Sect deliberately made things difficult, but because they cooperated with Hidden Sword Villa, and Boss Li blocked it." on the way to the Great God of Wealth."

"Great God of Wealth" Ye Zhiming glanced at Zhou Xian, Zhou Xian shrugged his shoulders, what did that mean - didn't you mean that?

Ye Zhiming clicked his tongue, and could only follow Zhou Xian's words and continue: "The common people will think so, and the local officials will think so too. Although Li Yang's business has given them a lot of advantages, but this advantage is not as good as that of Cangjian Sanzhuang. How much weight does the sweet pastry have?"

Tang Zhen said uncertainly: "So they will...?"

"They will choose to turn a blind eye and close their eyes. Not only will they not care about Li Yang's life, but they will find ways to get close to you, Tang Men." Ye Zhiming smiled, "No one will fight against money."

Tang Zhen thought for a while, and felt that it made sense. Just cooperating with Hidden Sword Villa can solve a big problem, which is really beneficial and harmless.

He immediately nodded and said: "I will report this matter to the head, but we can't just owe this favor, I hope Brother Ye can go back to Tangmen with me."

The three young men immediately knelt down and said, "Thank you, Daxia Ye, for saving your life!"

Ye Zhiming quickly waved his hands, and said casually: "Xian'er and I have been traveling around, and it is our honor to go to the Tang Sect to learn from each other. I'm afraid Brother Yue won't welcome me, master and apprentice."

"Of course not." Tang Zhen took a step back and made a gesture of please, "Please, both of you."

After the group of them had gone far away, the officials from the government arrived late. The shopkeeper and Xiao Er roughly explained what had happened. Next to the yamen waiter stood a rough man with a thick back and a hunchback, looking gloomy at the corpse in the pool of blood. After finishing the narration, he slapped a table flying, and shouted: "A life pays for a life! It's just and right! I want him to look good!"

After speaking, he turned around and left, chasing after the shopkeeper and the others in the direction they pointed.

A few yamen servants clicked their tongues, asked Wu Zuo to examine the corpse first, and then found someone to carry the corpse back, while thinking about how to explain to the official that their God of Wealth was gone.

On the other side, Xia Yu and Liang Yi changed into simple luggage, and stood behind the crowd with a small burden on their backs. After watching the excitement, Xia Yu helped Liang Yi to turn around and leave in the opposite direction.

Liang Yi said in a low voice: "Zhiming and the others will be alright?"

"What's going to happen to him? When you meet him, it's someone else who will be unlucky. Don't worry."

Liang Yi thought for a while, "That's right, Zhou Xian will protect him too."

Xia Yu was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "How talented is Zhou Xian? His three-legged cat is not enough to protect himself."

Liang Yi raised his eyes and glanced at Xia Yu, "As long as he wants to protect Zhiming, his power will go beyond what you see now."

Xia Yu rolled his eyes, "Xiaoyi, did you see something?"

Liang Yi shook his head, didn't answer, and asked instead: "What are we doing now?"

"Xiao Mingming has successfully entered the plan, and we have to hurry up." Xia Yu smiled, showing an innocent look, "Before dark, we have to let those bullies who Tang Zhen said are related to Li Yang take us in."

The Tang Sect is in the south of Chengdu, and they walked this way for three days, and they were not far from the Tang Sect by the third night.

Tang Zhen carried the panda cubs on his back all the time, Ye Zhiming asked him, and only then did he know that they would often go out of Tangmen to look for those lost, motherless or abandoned panda cubs in the surrounding mountains and forests.

Pandas are a specialty in Chengdu, but they don't like to live in groups and their reproductive ability is extremely poor, so they often need human intervention to protect them.

"Pandas may only give birth once every two to three years. Sometimes when they meet pandas who don't know how to bring dolls, they will throw away the dolls. There are also pandas who died unexpectedly and can no longer take care of their cubs, and there are also cubs who ran away from our Tangmen. , so we have to go out on patrol regularly, and if we encounter such cubs, we will bring them back."

Ye Zhiming looked curious, "So the Tang Sect is actually a professional breeding base for pandas? The number one assassin sect, can you still do it?"

Tang Zhen scratched his face, "We study everything. The Tang Sect also has its own business in Chengdu. It is said to be an assassin sect... It was also when it was first established. After the reign of Zhenguan, we have set foot in many fields. It’s just one of them.”

Ye Zhiming snorted, and said casually: "Then besides the Tang Sect, are there any powerful sects in Shuzhong now? You have been sitting on the No. [-] position in Shuzhong for so long, and no one has come to challenge you? "

Tang Zhendao: "Speaking of which there really is a sect, the speed of its rise in the past two years is a bit strange..."

He said this, but he didn't want to say any more. After that, the few people chatted about some gossip in the Jianghu, and stayed at an inn not far from Tangmen at night.

Tang Zhen said that he needs to send a letter to the sect first, and he can only bring outsiders in after getting the head's approval, so before getting the reply, Ye Zhiming and Zhou Xian had to stay in the inn for a few days.

Ye Zhiming didn't care. Tang Zhen said that the little panda needs to be taken care of in time, so he took the three young people back to Tangmen first. In order to show his sincerity, he first gave the rent for a few days. The meal money was also given, and Ye Zhiming was told to wait for him to come back with news.

After Tang Zhen and the others left overnight, Ye Zhiming collapsed on the bed with a sleepy look on his face, and Zhou Xian also knew that it was not easy for him to rack his brains and formulate words these days, so he prepared to leave lightly.

Ye Zhiming closed his eyes and said, "Wait."

Zhou Xian froze for a moment, then turned to look at him.

Ye Zhiming still didn't open his eyes, he shook his legs and said, "I'm exhausted, help me take off my boots."

Zhou Xian rolled his eyes, but he didn't refuse. He turned around and walked back to help Ye Zhiming take off his shoes, pushed him into the bed, and pulled his robe.

"Get up." Zhou Xian didn't move for a long time, pinching Ye Zhiming's nose angrily, "Take off your clothes and go to sleep!"

Ye Zhiming dazedly put his arms around Zhou Xian's neck, sat up with Zhou Xian's strength, and let Zhou Xian pull on his body.

The tip of Zhou Xian's nose shook Master Ye's hair from time to time, making his nose itchy, but strangely, his heart seemed to itch too.He thought of the way Ye Zhiming looked at the panda happily. To be honest, Ye Zhiming's weird temper could not get close to anyone. On the contrary, he was much more frank with a little furry guy, with that smile, those eyebrows , It's like a spring breeze.

Zhou Xian realized that he was a little jealous of the little guy who couldn't speak human language. He was hugged and pampered by Ye Zhiming, and he had to hug him for a while before letting go. It fell on it, as if the guy just asked for the stars and would not give the moon.

Zhou Xian thought inexplicably: Fortunately, it is just a panda.
