Hu Chongshan suddenly discovered that Second Brother Song seemed a little strange recently.

He was stupid, and there was nothing strange about him, but it just didn't look right.

He first realized this, the day before yesterday.

At that time, he went out early in the morning as usual, preparing to check the grain and grass.After walking outside, he suddenly saw Song Tianqing reprimanding his subordinates.

Although Wildfire is not a regular army, it has strict discipline. The brothers almost never make big mistakes, and small mistakes are harmless. Just a few reminders will pass.

It was a young man with a slightly immature face. Standing in front of Song Tianqing, his face was red from being reprimanded, his back was hunched, and his face almost fell into the mud.Hu Chongshan suddenly became curious: what mistake did he make?Make the second brother furious.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out that it was because Song Tianqing was interrupted to write a letter when he delivered the meal in the morning.

Hu Chongshan laughed, and went over to pat the young man on the shoulder: "It's just a trivial matter, nothing to worry about! Go ahead!"

He helped out, then turned to Song Tianqing and said, "Second brother, why did you lose your temper with such a trivial matter?"

Song Tianqing snorted coldly: "Small things? Since the eldest brother is gone, Luoshan's discipline has become worse and worse. Everyone has no respect, acts recklessly, and enters my house without even knocking on the door! They even look down on me, the head of the house." ?!"

After Tang Chunkai passed away, Song Tianqing was actually at the helm of Huanghuo. Although out of respect for Tang Chunkai, he still had the title of second master, he was actually the chief master, and he was in charge of all the affairs of Huanghuo.

Hu Chongshan didn't think too much after hearing it, and said jokingly as usual: "Hey, they are all my brothers, why care about these things!"

Song Tianqing said, "Brother scolded you for being simple-minded when he was alive. You see, you haven't made any progress yet! As the saying goes, there is no rule without rules. The state owns the country's laws, and the family has family rules. Wildfires are not grassroots bandits. How can you be so casual?"

Hu Chongshan scratched his head.

Song Tianqing added: "Only under strict governance can great things be achieved. You should behave yourself in the future. We should lead by example!"

"..."

Hu Chongshan was a rough man, so he didn't catch Song Tianqing's implication at the first time.It took two days to realize that "leading by example" meant that he should take the lead in respecting Brother Song, and don't be indifferent all day long.

However, why should there be "respect"?

Hu Chongshan was a little at a loss.

When Tang Chunkai was alive, he would never get angry about such things. He also taught his brothers to be polite, but he would never openly reprimand his brothers for inexplicable trivial matters to shame each other.

What's more, Hu Chongshan later learned that it wasn't that the young man didn't knock on the door, but his voice was too low to be heard.But Song Tianqing didn't believe his explanation at all, he recognized his sophistry, if Hu Chongshan hadn't rescued the siege in time, he would have been dealt with by military law as a warning to others.

"Military law", how cold the word is.

Hu Chongshan was a little unhappy.

Wildfire also has military laws, but Tang Chunkai only taught them not to be arrogant, to bully the weak, to rape women, and not to be lazy, not to seek improvement, etc. He never said, "If you don't knock on my door, I will punish you with military law." It is clear that the difference between superiority and inferiority is so far, what is the difference between Huanghuo and Feiguang Palace?

But Song Tianqing's saying "no rules, no circle" seems to have some truth.

Hu Chongshan couldn't figure it out, and sighed for the umpteenth time: "It would be great if Mr. Tang was still alive, alas."

He was sighing, when Song Tianqing suddenly opened the door and came in, calling him, "Third."

Hu Chongshan stood up abruptly: "What's the matter, second brother?"

Song Tianqing showed a mocking smile on his face, and said: "I heard that Longying was summoned by Ji Shixiong and returned to Shangcheng District. I don't know what the two discussed. I suspect that he has already given the map, otherwise why Didn't send back the news? Fortunately, what I gave him was a fake picture. "

Hu Chongshan was taken aback: "Has he really betrayed?"

"Ninety-nine are inseparable from ten." Song Tianqing said, "It's not surprising, how many people can keep their hearts in the face of fame and fortune? It's a pity that big brother has worked so hard to cultivate him."

Hu Chongshan said angrily: "I will settle the score with him!"

Song Tianqing patted him on the shoulder reassuringly: "Don't be in a hurry, since he has given the fake picture to Ji Shixiong, we won't wait for him. I decided to find the remains of King Beixiao by myself. Please prepare for it, we will Let's go today."

"Okay, I'll go right now!"

Hu Chongshan immediately threw away the troubles just now, and went out to arrange staff.

……

Jiang Baizhou himself is very good at forming formations, and his teaching is also very methodical.The main reason is that today's Longying is quite different from six years ago. He learns very fast and can draw inferences. He only needs to mention a few key points, and Longying can understand everything by himself.

Endless Sea God Temple is different from the Wu family, there is no rule of "no rumors".

Jiang Baizhou taught without reservation, and Longying learned with all his heart.But how much Jiang Baizhou's power can be learned depends on Long Ying's own good fortune.

There are some formations that he can't use even after he has learned them. That's why the temple doesn't restrict rumors—it's useless to spread them. "Spell".

Concentrating on teaching for a long time was very exhausting. Jiang Baizhou lay down on the bed when he was tired. Long Ying sat by the bed and helped him rub his shoulders and legs.

Jiang Baizhou ignored his fumbling hands and said, "I teach you the formation just in case. We are going to investigate the ruins of King Beixiao soon. I don't know what kind of dangerous situation it is. I want to teach you more. Some ways to deal with the crisis, it will be safer for us to take care of each other at that time, but unfortunately most of the things I know can’t teach you, and I can only teach this after thinking about it.”

"Brother worked hard." Long Ying said sweetly, "Should I call you Master?"

Jiang Baizhou shook his head immediately: "Don't, I can't accept disciples easily."

"It means I'm not qualified."

"..."

Jiang Baizhou laughed: "It's okay to say so. You are not from my hometown, and you don't meet the standards."

Long Ying became curious: "What else? What are your criteria for accepting disciples?"

"Well, it's hard to say." Jiang Baizhou thought for a while and said, "My apprentice will inherit my mantle and continue to guard my hometown after I die. This is a kind of inheritance. So I must be cautious and cultivate a suitable people."

He finally said: "It's still early, and it's not too late to think about it in 20 years."

20 years later...

Long Ying didn't know if she was still alive at that time.

He always felt that he would not live long, without reason, just intuition.

Long Ying hugged Jiang Baizhou, treating herself as a symbiotic vine on the other party's body, and never got tired of pestering him: "Brother, even if I die, you still have to remember me."

"What nonsense?" Jiang Baizhou pushed his forehead.

Longying refused to let go, and rubbed her head against Jiang Baizhou's neck.At this moment, there was a light "poof" sound outside the window, and something was hitting the window paper.

"Flying Pigeon?" Long Ying frowned slightly, and walked over to open the window.

Sure enough, it was a half-armored little pigeon, its wings kept flapping, but it couldn't make a sound.

Long Ying took out the secret letter, let the pigeon go, and returned to the bed.Jiang Baizhou had already sat up: "Who sent it?"

"Let me see...Ji Yunchan?" Long Ying was a little surprised.

"What did she send you the letter for?"

Long Ying unfolded the letter paper and read it: "She invited me to meet at the west gate of Feiguang Palace tonight, and she has something secret to tell."

"Gone?"

"Well, that's all."

"..."

Jiang Baizhou cared more about Ji Yunchan than Longying, with a worried look on his face: "Her father won't hurt her, right?"

"Of course not, they are biological father and daughter." Long Ying said, "But whether it will hurt us or not is another matter. I suspect that this letter is fake."

"how you said that?"

"Now the three major families have obtained the map of the ruins of King Beixiao. With their infighting style, each family is unwilling to be left behind. I guess they will send people to find the secret within three days. And according to Ji Yunchan , Ji Shixiong got the relic long ago, and built a secret road leading directly to the Lingquan in the upper city, and sent heavy soldiers to guard it. If the three aristocratic families searched for it according to the map, wouldn’t they be about to discover his secret? ——He You must be unable to sit still."

"I understand." Jiang Baizhou continued, "He originally planned to win you over by getting married and lure you to volunteer as a test subject, but now it doesn't work, time is running out, and it's too late to proceed step by step. He wants to hold back the three great families at the same time, Defraud your trust as soon as possible, the sooner the better."

Long Ying nodded: "So I think this letter is fake. Regardless of whether Ji Yunchan is voluntary or involuntary, in short, she is probably under control. We should be careful."

It was not easy to use Ji Yunchan to deceive Long Ying, because Long Ying never believed her, let alone the love between men and women that Ji Shixiong imagined.

"His daughter is just a little girl, how can she get the money to set up a beauty trap?" Long Ying couldn't help but said, "Only when my brother acts as a beauty to seduce me, I will be willing to fall into the trap."

Jiang Baizhou: "..."

"Don't talk nonsense." Jiang Baizhou slapped Long Ying, and said helplessly, "If she is really controlled, Xiao Chan must be very scared now, we can't ignore her. And we were very curious about Ji Shixiong's spiritual spring secret. Dao, otherwise I would not personally send Xiao Chan home, trying to follow the plan. Although the plan has changed slightly, but not too much, we have come to this point, why not continue to push the boat along the way, let Ji Shixiong and the three great families be anxious, They will open the way, we just follow in secret."

"Brother mean...?"

"Go to the appointment." Jiang Baizhou said, "You are in the open, and I am in the dark. No matter what dangers you encounter, I will definitely protect you."

Since Jiang Baizhou said so, Long Ying naturally listened to him.

They changed their clothes, ate, drank, rested, and when midnight arrived, they came to the west gate of Feiguang Hall.

The Feiguang Hall faces south, and there are doors in the east, west, north, and south. Each door is like a checkpoint. Relatively speaking, the west gate is the weakest in defense, because servants come in and out frequently, and it is easy to fish in troubled waters.

Jiang Baizhou and Long Ying watched from a distance outside the west gate for a while, and saw a little maid came out with a basket on her shoulders. When the guard questioned her, she said, "Miss woke up in the middle of the night and wanted to eat some fruit. I'll go buy it."

Then show a token.

The guard let her go, and the servant girl quickly walked away, turning into the alley, looking around cautiously.

Long Ying appeared to stop her and called out, "Miss Ji."

The "servant" raised her head, and it was indeed Ji Yunchan.
