After Waking up Beside the Villain

After another two hours of observation near the cliff of Longzhang Waterfall, Chu Yunsheng and Xie Chengyun did not rush to investigate, but chose to return to the city first to meet with Xie Zixuan for discussion.

If it is such a major event as casting swords with dragon veins, Longzhang Waterfall will never have only Hanshenqi's guards, and if they act rashly, they will only scare the snake.

The three met at a hidden pile near the horse market.

Chu Yunsheng originally thought that Li Wu wanted to exhaust the dragon's veins, so the self-forging of the second Tianzi sword was already an amazing thing, but he didn't expect that the relationship and secret between Ji Ling and Mu Yuexin brought by Xie Zixuan made it even more exciting. It's unbelievable.

And when these two things collide, even a blind person can see that they are inextricably linked.

However, Chu Yunsheng does not think that Mu Yuexin and Ji Ling are really mother and daughter, and it can be known from the original plot that Li Wu's sword was not forged in the end.

From Rong Ange's point of view, during the ten years when he could not go down the mountain in seclusion, the world was peaceful, there was no puppet secret method, and there was no emperor's sword.

Even after the foreign demons invaded frequently and the world was in chaos, he took Ji Anbai and left through the sky, and he had never heard of these two things.

But if you really look closely at the clues, there are too many unreasonable things.

One of them is very obvious to Chu Yunsheng, that is, Xie Chengyun, who has become the patriarch of the Xie family, was attacked and killed after a martial arts competition with Rong Ange. The Xie family is so big, with Youxian sitting in the town, it is the leader of the whole world. Among the countless top aristocratic families, none came out to find the murderer and avenge Xie Chengyun.

It's just child's play.

Chu Yunsheng was puzzled before, but now that he learned of the enmity between Xie's family, Li Wu and Mu Yuexin, some hidden corners and corners of the matter were faintly revealed.

Although the information that Xie Chengyun and Xie Zixuan revealed to him were specious and vague, with the help of some details and background of the original plot, as well as some true and false rumors in the world, Chu Yunsheng still roughly sorted out the current situation , with their own speculation.

The matter of Tianzijian is complicated and complicated, but simple is also simple.

Back then, rumors of the birth of the Son of Heaven Sword suddenly arose in the Jianghu, and many sword-making families were exterminated. If the Xie family's news is correct, the person who exterminated the sect was Li Youzhen, the number one immortal in the world.

She obtained the Son of Heaven Sword from those sword-making families and sealed it in the forbidden area of ​​the Daxia Palace.

But the Son of Heaven Sword is incomplete and has its own disadvantages, so Li Youzhen didn't hand it directly to Li Wu to help Li Wu break through, but instead set a test.

But Li Wu didn't know that this was a test, he just thought that Li Youzhen didn't want him to hold the Sword of Heaven, but he had done enough of being a wimpy emperor, with Li Youzhen on top, and his family restricting him, this was a big challenge for an ambitious emperor Said it was extremely painful.

So it is normal for him to try every means to obtain the Son of Heaven Sword and achieve the position of Youxian himself.

But he was obviously unlucky. Before he could get the Tianzi Sword out of the forbidden area, Ji Ling received the order of Jiuxian Palace, sneaked into the palace with the help of Xie's family, and stole the Tianzi Sword first.

The Xie family had searched Ji Ling's body, but there was no sword, so it must be Ji Ling's secret method of receiving the Son of Heaven sword or something different.

The Son of Heaven Sword was lost, and Li Wu searched for it to no avail, so he came up with the idea of ​​making a sword from the dragon's veins.

According to the agreement between the imperial court and the aristocratic sects, there are nine dragon veins in Daxia, three of which are guarded by the Li family of the royal family, three of which are guarded by the aristocratic family, and the remaining three are guarded by the three major sects in the world.

The territory of Great Xia is different from that of the Later Zhou Dynasty. If Li Wu wanted to cast the second sword of the Son of Heaven from the dragon veins, it would never be possible to use only one dragon vein.

As for the Tianzi Sword on Ji Ling's body, although she was ordered by the Nine Immortals Palace to steal it, and she came to Jinling to repair the incomplete Tianzi Sword for the Nine Immortals Palace, but Chu Yunsheng didn't think that she had all the troubles surrounding the Tianzi Sword. , really all came from Nine Immortals Palace.

The Nine Immortals Palace might just be a cover for being pushed onto the stage, or it might be the knife that was borrowed to kill people.

Compared with the Nine Immortals Palace, what is more suspicious is Mu Yuexin who disappeared 20 years ago but suddenly showed up now.

If what Ji Ling said at that time was true, and Li Wu and Mu Yuexin had a loving past, and then they broke up due to some reason, and the hatred was deep in their bones, then many things would make sense.

For example, if you want to assimilate with the puppet secret method when attacking the son-in-law of an aristocratic family, then you can be sure that the puppet secret method is related to Li Wu, and it was born out of Mu Yuexin's ingenuity. The purpose is to control the family and obtain the dragon vein.

In addition, Ji Ling was able to enter the Daxia Palace full of masters and steal the Emperor Sword from the forbidden area even with the help of the Xie family, it would not have been so easy.

But if there is Mu Yuexin's shadow behind him, with Mu Yuexin's strength and understanding of Li Wu and the Li family, then this matter will not be too puzzling.

And in this way, Mu Yuexin's purpose is not so vague.

Since she hated Li Wu, the ultimate goal of everything she did was to disrupt Li Wu's situation and kill Li Wu's people.

Between Li Wu and Mu Yuexin, what the Xie family wants to do is to add fuel to the woods and make the two tigers fight each other, so as to benefit the fisherman and seek revenge.

From the performance of Xie Jia and Mu Yuexin, it can be seen that Li Wu may be wary of Xie Jia, but Mu Yuexin should not be very clear about the enmity between herself and Xie Jia.

While thinking about it, he came to various guesses and judgments. Chu Yunsheng didn't have too many thoughts in his heart, but he was more sure that he had to cooperate with Mu Yuexin once as the Xie family member.

If the situation is like this, then the enemy might as well make false claims and take advantage of it.

And there are only two points to pay attention to in this cooperation.

One is what is the past between Li Wu and Mu Yuexin, and what is the relationship between Ji Ling and Mu Yuexin, which cannot be said to collide with each other, causing suspicion. What's going on, I need to avoid a little bit of taboo, if it's appropriate, maybe I can get some information from Mu Yue's heart.

"If Mu Yuexin and Ji Ling are really one, then although her strength may be unstable for some reason, it is also unfathomable. You have to be more careful when dealing with her."

Xie Chengyun warned: "If you feel that this matter cannot be done, then don't force it. We just need to muddy the water, delay the time, and hinder the Zheng family's actions. When the major families and sects learn about this, they will come to support us. Can."

Having said that, it was just a delay, but since Chu Yunsheng came back from Longzhang Waterfall, there has been a faint sense of urgency floating in his heart.

This seems to be unknown.

Xie Zixuan put down the tea bowl, took two deep breaths, and said in a deep voice: "It's not too late, Chengyun, you use the Skyhawk immediately to contact the clan."

"At the same time, send out a few hidden stakes, hurry up and inform the aristocratic families in Jianghuai and Huaizhou. Although the aristocratic families and sects have conflicts of interest, the nine dragon veins in Daxia are guarded by the aristocratic sects and the royal family. Now the Zheng family and Li Wu have betrayed each other. It is agreed that it is not a trivial matter to want to break the fate of the world, and it is definitely not a matter of my Xie family."

"Besides, since something happened to the Zheng family, it is difficult to guarantee that there are no problems in the other eight places, and we need to send people to investigate."

"In the middle of the night tonight, I will go to explore the Longzhang Waterfall with Feng Yu Erlao. Chengyun, Miss Chu, you two should be careful. If the situation is not right, you don't need to tell me. You will be escorted directly, and you will go out of the city secretly. Jing, don't put yourself in danger."

Xie Zixuan stroked his beard and sighed with a smile: "I'm an old bone. I've been dying and living all these years. A lingering life is worthless. You are different. You have a bright future. Don't know how to cherish it."

"Second Uncle, there is something different about Longzhang Waterfall, except for the three of us, no one knows about it. We are careful all the way, and the Zheng family will never find out. Everything is still safe, so don't keep saying such unlucky words." Xie Chengyun said helplessly.

The three of them chatted for a while, and then they concluded the brief discussion, and left through the secret passage or the main entrance.

The red sun is falling to the west.

The blood-like rosy glow poured over the stone slabs of the bustling long street in Jinling.The bells of the mountain temple outside the city floated in gusts with the evening wind that faded away, long and heavy.

Chu Yunsheng walked alone amidst the bustling crowd and the yelling of vendors, and returned to Zheng's house.

Exposure to the fireworks in the world, although the ears are noisy and noisy, the mind is more clear and peaceful.

Chu Yunsheng sorted out his thoughts, recalling what he saw and heard after entering Jiangzhou and Jinling, as if it was really like what Xie Chengyun joked about, and what happened in just three or two days had already made his instinct It is an outsider who has escaped from the outside, and is also deeply trapped in the situation, unable to escape, seeing only thick fog and danger.

He goes deeper and deeper in this group of secrets, he can only break through the maze, and cannot turn back and retreat.

Besides that, there was another thing that he was quite concerned about, and that was Rong Ange, a little Taoist priest who Xie Chengyun mentioned when they met, who made Ning Tian become Ning Shou and organized a wedding banquet.

The protagonist shouldn't be here at this moment.

"Sister Ye?"

A moderate call suddenly came from behind, interrupting Chu Yunsheng's thoughts.

Chu Yunsheng pressed the knife and turned around.

As far as he could see, Ji Ling in plain clothes was standing by a small stall not far away, looking at him with surprise and joy on his face: "Sister Ye, what a coincidence, I met you here."

Ji Ling walked over, and didn't see the guilt of using the tracking technique under Chu Yunsheng or the suspicion of the tracking bug being wiped out. He only smiled and said: "Brother Yuchen said that sister Ye went out at noon and went to a restaurant in the city to have dinner. I want to take a stroll around Jinling City by the way. Lingrui feels that she has been here for some time, and she wants to guide Sister Ye, but she doesn't want even the concierge of the Zheng family to know which restaurant Sister Ye has gone to."

"But it's not too late to meet at this time. Sister Ye has heard of Jinling's white game?"

"This is much more interesting than those old dramas of singing, reciting, and fighting. There are no such rules. Some people will sing after work in the workshop. In my opinion, it is both like an opera singer and a storyteller. It is only in Jinling Yes, but it’s the only one in Jiangzhou. Going back early is nothing to worry about, why don’t Sister Ye follow me to listen to this song?”

Seeing that Ji Ling came to the door by himself, Chu Yunsheng was not surprised. He deliberately showed a trace of curiosity and accepted the invitation.

The two of them crossed the long street one after the other, came to a crowded market by the Qinhuai River, and entered a small two-story tea house.

The lobby on the first floor of the tea house is full of seats, except for ordinary people, they are the children of the world.

Xiao Er came to serve tea, and the tea and dim sum melon seeds were rough and not refined, but they were cheap and delicious.

A stage was set up in front of the teahouse, and the play hadn't even started yet, and there were high-spirited talks, bragging and laughing everywhere.

Sit down in the elegant seat upstairs, and after a while, three people came up on the table in the lobby.

One person stood behind the red cloth table and took up the tea bowl, while the other two found stools and sat down, hugging the pipa and playing the erhu, just like that, and sang an anecdote in pure Jinling dialect Adapted play.

The rivers and lakes say whether they are far or not, and whether they are close or not.

For ordinary people, they regard the knights passing by with swords on their backs as rivers and lakes, and for the martial arts people who really walk in the shadow of swords, lights and swords, they are peerless martial arts, peak duels, chivalry and righteousness, punishing rape and eliminating evil. A grand event in the martial arts world, a period of immortal legend.

They are always standing in the rivers and lakes, and they are always outside the rivers and lakes.

In the Great Xia Chongwu, people are more interested in Jianghu than the love of talented scholars and beautiful women, so most of the dramas in various parties are about Jianghu.

It was a coincidence that this white game was sung, and it was Li Youzhen, who is now at the top of the Ascension to Immortals list, the veritable No. [-] in the world.

Chu Yunsheng had just listened intently for a while, when he saw Ji Ling on the opposite side suddenly smiled, broke off the peanut in his hand, and said, "'Big Dipper' Li Youzhen, as a woman, he became a wandering immortal, step by step. From the bottom of the Immortal Ranking to the top of the list, the owner of Wugou Villa has been ranked No. [-] in the world for nearly a hundred years, he is truly a magnificent figure."

"It's a pity that the younger generation is useless. Li Wu can't understand her, but he still asks her and relies on her."

Chu Yunsheng raised his eyes.

The private seats on the second floor were all separated by screens, including their table, there were only three or five tables of guests, but Ji Ling's somewhat rebellious words did not attract extra attention.

Exuding true energy, Chu Yunsheng sensed a kind of sound isolation, which was a means of fixing alchemy.

"Sister Ye, we smart people don't speak dark words, so who do you belong to?"

Ji Ling stopped smiling and asked suddenly.

Chu Yunsheng pretended to be nervous, and frowned, "Miss Zhao, what do you mean?"

Ji Ling put aside the peanut shells casually, clapped his hands, and said, "Sister Ye, you don't have to pretend to be anything in front of me, which of these four people who live in Zheng's Dongxi Guest House is really just here as a guest, or Do you really want to marry Zheng Yuchen?"

"Not to mention anything else, just Sister Ye went out to have a meal at noon, and then wiped out the little bugs I left on you, and you can see that Sister Ye is not an idle person. If it wasn't for her extraordinary background and some means, then There is also Dingdan behind it."

"If I'm right, sister Ye, you went to the horse market in the afternoon, right?"

really.

Ji Ling discovered something strange from the description of the mourning star and the traces of the battle left in the small courtyard, and suspected himself.

This was expected by Chu Yunsheng, and he didn't intend to hide it, so he immediately showed vigilance and astonishment, pursed his lips and said, "Miss Zhao, I don't know what you are talking about."

"Why should Sister Ye be so stubborn?"

Ji Ling raised her hand to pour tea, and smiled sweetly: "I'm not hostile."

Chu Yunsheng followed suit with a look of surprise, and asked tentatively, "You mean, you want to cooperate?"

"Smart." Ji Ling clapped his hands and said with a smile, "I think we have the same purpose, and we are more suitable to be allies than enemies. I don't know what Sister Ye thinks?"

Chu Yunsheng's eyes darkened, he was silent for a moment, and as if making up his mind, he said, "I want to talk to the person behind you. I know, this person's surname is Mu."

Ji Ling's expression changed slightly, and he suddenly said: "You——no, the master behind you is guarding near Ningpingan's yard? Did he hear it?"

Chu Yunsheng remained expressionless and did not answer.

But Ji Ling didn't seem to need his answer, just shook the tea bowl in his hand, and said to himself: "It seems that you are not from Li Wu, but from the Xie family. I didn't expect that after 20 years, the Xie family would still have something to do with you." I plan to be an ally, but if the enemy I want to fight against is his Li family, there is nothing wrong with that."

Saying that, Ji Ling took a sip of tea, looked at Chu Yunsheng, and said with a half-smile: "Little girl, do you think it's Ji Ling or Mu Yuexin who sees you every time?"

Chu Yunsheng's heart sank slightly.

Although some speculation, but do not want to be true.

There was a look of shock on his face, and he said in disbelief: "You, you have always been Senior Mu Yuexinmu?"

"nature."

Ji Ling, or Mu Yuexin's expression did not change, and his temperament was still weak and pleasant. He just smiled casually: "How can Ji Ling and other wastes manage the overall situation in Jinling City, and how can they play around with Li Wu and the Nine Immortals Palace?" ? The one who uses this body is most of the time this seat."

With just this one sentence, Chu Yunsheng affirmed his previous judgment that Mu Yuexin was indeed not Ji Ling's biological mother.

And she revealed this secret to Chu Yunsheng, either because she was confident, or because she was confident that Ji Ling would never hear it from Chu Yunsheng.

"The past has passed, and the grievances between the Xie family and the seniors are not irresolvable."

Chu Yunsheng didn't know what the grievance was, but as soon as the words came out, it was serious.

Hearing this, Mu Yuexin sneered: "It's not a grievance at all, but your Xie family's heart is as big as a pinprick, and you can't tolerate a little thing. If it wasn't for my child, he would have died early, and it was impossible for a miracle doctor to save him. How could you go to your Xie family's ancestral house outside Shangjing to dig those graves?"

"Obviously it's just a few bones, and I agreed to exchange it with treasures, but your Xie family just doesn't let you in. Men, women, young and old, the whole family came to arrest me."

"If it weren't for the fact that I really have some strange things and poisons at the bottom of the box, I can get out, I'm afraid I'm still imprisoned in the dungeon of Xie's house at this time, and I can't survive or die."

Mu Yuexin was talking, feeling bored, she waved her hand and said, "That's all, it's all old sesame seeds from 20 years ago, so I won't mention it."

"I don't care about these things, and you Xie family don't want to bring this matter up again. Since in Jinling City, we all want to give Li Wu a face, so we can cooperate. Sincerity, I will simply tell you about the puppet secret technique."

"Little girl, you have listened to what I said, but you have to show a little sincerity."

Chu Yunsheng did not reply immediately.

Mu Yuexin said it lightly and casually, but Chu Yunsheng could hear the hatred and hatred that belonged to the Xie family behind it.

There is nothing wrong with being eager to save your son, but digging up ancestral graves and stealing people's bones to save your son. After being besieged, you don't know your mistakes and repent, and release strange things and poisons in order to escape-this kind of behavior cannot be said to be hateful!

Not to mention, Chu Yunsheng smelled something strange from these words, and suspected that the strange thing and poison in Mu Yue's heart might have something to do with the cold and strange scene of Xie's family.

But Mu Yuexin didn't seem to know the consequences.

But even so, is this really just a fluffy sentence that can be passed on without thinking?

Chu Yunsheng suddenly thought of the lingering body that Xie Zixuan claimed to be dying when the three of them parted, and when he and Xie Chengyun mentioned hatred again and again, his eyes were filled with haze.

"I can also show my sincerity to Senior Mu."

Chu Yunsheng opened the mouth and said: "With the strength of Senior Mu, staying in Zheng's house should not be for the weird person who said before that the puppet's secret method was tracked down. I have already learned about the vicinity of Longzhang Waterfall from Ning'an. Seniors don't need to explain too much, it's just bait."

"Since Senior Mu's bait is to catch the Emperor Li Wu behind the people who cast the puppet secret technique, it must be because he has investigated the Longzhang Waterfall, and he doesn't know the agreement between the aristocratic sect and the royal family about the dragon vein?"

"Dragon vein?"

Mu Yuexin was stunned, and immediately opened her eyes as if enlightened, and said: "Yes, it's the dragon's veins, it turned out to be the dragon's veins!"

"No wonder, no wonder..."

"I followed the trail of the puppet's secret technique from Shangjing to Jinling. I just wanted to grab Li Wu's tail and see what he wanted to do. I even kept the big thing like the loss of the Son of Heaven's sword a secret. Searched, but it turned out that he no longer took this broken sword seriously, and wanted to reforge it himself!"

The matter of the dragon veins is only known to the aristocratic sects and the royal family involved in the guardianship, it is not rumored, and it has never been involved before, so it is not surprising that Mu Yuexin has never heard of it from Li Wu.

It's just that Chu Yunsheng felt a little strange.

He asked: "Senior Mu, why are you ignorant of this matter? Have you never investigated the Zheng Family Mining Area behind Longzhang Waterfall and had no doubts about it?"

Hearing this question, the madness and joy looming on Mu Yue's heart subsided a little, and she said with a low smile: "I have a secret disease, and my strength is unstable. Falling to the early stage of Dingdan, I dare not go to the stockade to investigate, if the half-step Youxian sees it, I will die, and I can only take a look at the edge of the cliff, but I can't see anything."

Chu Yunsheng's eyes froze: "Is there a half-step Youxian in that village?"

"Yes."

Mu Yue said heartily: "The eighth in the list of shocking gods, the Li family is second only to Li Wu's top master, 'The Stars Move' Li Feichen."
