[Eastern Invincible] Same robe with you

第二日一早，七人就继续快马加鞭上路了，徽州城里探的种种消息都显示着“兹事体大”，压力瞬间倍增，不得不片刻不停赶路，生生将十日的路程压缩至六日，刚好赶上九江城关城门前入城。

江西分坛就设在九江城。江西是鱼米之乡，自古有“吴头楚尾，粤户闽庭”之称，不但富庶了百姓也养肥了日月神教的江西分坛，每年江西缴到总教的岁银都是列在前几名，这次八省被劫岁银里也是江西数额最大。

江西分坛的坛主叫秦伟邦，35岁左右的中年人，看上去像个儒雅的书生，去年年末时刚上任，原先的坛主因病去世之后他就从青旗旗主调升上来了，今年第一次押送岁银就被劫，定是心急如焚了。

However, when the seven people saw Qin Weibang, they found that Qin Weibang was not as anxious and worried as they imagined, but seemed to be at ease.

"Several adults have traveled so hard for the loss of the old silver robbery. Qin is very grateful. Why don't you rest for a night so that I can do my best as a landlord. We will talk in detail tomorrow, and Qin will definitely cooperate fully. Know everything and say everything, and find out this matter as soon as possible, Qin's loyalty to the leader and to the divine religion is a lesson from heaven and earth!" Qin Weibang was a little excited at the seven people in Min'er City, but his behavior was normal and normal.

"My lord dare not be, altar master Qin can just call me Min Ercheng directly, thank you altar master Qin for your hospitality, I'd rather be respectful than obedient." Min Ercheng also wanted to let the few people on the road rest, especially Yang Lianting who was young and injured , so he agreed.

“东方左使也为此事前来分坛，正在厅内休息，闵大人是否先去谒见？”

“多谢秦坛主相告，如此麻烦秦坛主向东方左使通传一声，我们便先在此等候。”闵二城恭了恭身。

杨莲亭想不到东方不败比他们早十日途径徽城，此时却还在江西分坛，心中感觉有点诧异。但心中只这一个念头闪过，就被越来越多勾起的回忆填满。那些霸气的、肆意的、狂傲的、温柔的身影，不一在心中闪现，最后定格在一片凄楚的红衣上。东方不败夺位之前是怎么样的，杨莲亭不知道也没见过，后来再没有人敢议论东方教主的过去，他只知道东方不败以前的名字叫东方旭，仅此而已。而现在，他马上就要见到那个年轻的充满野心的东方旭，一个真正的男人！

杨莲亭深吸了一口气，感觉心跳依然那么快，完全无法平静下来！

“诸位这边请，东方左使正在院子里。”秦坛主微微侧身，指引他们走向分坛后院。

已入初夏，院子里有阵阵凉风袭来，吹得满院的树叶沙沙作响，盛绿的梧桐树下，一个身形修长穿浅蓝色长袍的男子静静地站在树下，晚风浅浅地掀起一个衣角，正如他在嘴边露出的浅浅笑容，难以言喻的优雅和气度，仿佛一切都在他的脚下，杨莲亭觉得自己只能仰望，才能得到内心的平静。

这是一种气势，让人折服，心甘情愿追随，受之驱使，并且以此为荣！

“参见东方左使。”闵二城等人齐声的见礼惊醒了杨莲亭，急忙低下头弯腰行礼。

“出门在外，俗礼就免了。这趟差事任务重大，你们一路辛苦了。”东方旭点点头，示意无须多礼。

东方不败狠辣决绝，心思更是诡异难辨。而此时杨莲亭真正见到了东方旭，满目只剩下带着傲气的平易近人，和有着淡淡疏离的慰问，恰到好处地表达上位者的宽厚仁慈。

杨莲亭有点凌乱了，这跟他记忆中的东方不败完全不同，他无法把他们重合到一起，那么不可思议！

杨莲亭想问，但张开嘴巴，却不知道说什么，他傻傻得呆愣着。直到……

“这位小兄弟似乎没见过，是新来麽？”东方旭满目戏虐的看着他，俊美的脸庞因为加深的笑意显得更加温和。

他们怎么都坐下了，我怎么还站着！杨莲亭默默的在心里大骂其余几人居然不提醒，被这么一惊，飘远的思绪很快就着地了，不再胡思乱想。尴尬地咧了咧嘴，回道：“小子叫杨莲亭，上月刚到黑木崖，如今在朱雀堂当差。”

“嗯，不错！此趟是你第一次执行任务吧，跟着前辈多听多看多学，会让你受益匪浅的！”东方旭把眼前这个扭捏的俊朗小伙，从上到下打量了一番，似笑非笑地夸了一句。

东方旭二十来岁，眉毛极细，如剑般斜飞入鬓，真真是眉分八彩、目若朗星，清浅一笑，竟如沐春风。

Yang Lianting stared straight at him, but suddenly came to his senses, full of annoyance, hurriedly bowed and stepped back to sit down.

看到杨莲亭如此窘态，东方旭哈哈大笑，直呼“小兄弟真有意思”，心情颇好得陪着他们七人聊了好一会儿。

“坛主，酒菜已备好，可以入席了。”一个青衣打扮的教众来请几人去前厅用膳。

"Dongfang Zuoshi, why don't we chat while eating?" Qin Weibang stood up and asked Dongfang Xu for instructions. Seeing that Dongfang Xu nodded in agreement, he turned and invited the seven people from Min Ercheng, "Brothers have been busy all the way, let's treat it as a few tonight. Let the wind wash away the dust. Please!" After speaking, he turned sideways and took a step back.

东方旭起身，首先往前厅走去，秦伟邦始终落后一步，走在侧后。

杨莲亭看着前面两人的背影，东方旭虽然不是前世的模样，但是这个身形却让他很熟悉，毫无陌生感，一时间杨莲亭分不清，是因为前世两人的关系影响还是这辈子可能见过的缘故。

After regaining his senses, he noticed Qin Weibang's posture, he didn't look anxious, as if he had no influence at all, and his attitude towards the Eastern Left Envoy was not only respectful, but even more awe-inspiring than them!At the age of 20, Dongfang Xu actually took the position of Zuoshi. He must have gone through many hardships and dangers, but his scheming ability is also an important part of it. If we talk about admiration and admiration, there are few young people in the whole school who do not take it as their goal, but Qin Weibang It's not Dongfang Xu's subordinate, a branch altar master in Jiangxi, and a left envoy of the head teacher. There is no relationship between the two that can make people feel fearful.Moreover, with Dongfang Xu's behavior, he obviously trusted Qin Weibang.

突然脑海中闪现一个信息，上辈子东方旭夺位之后，秦伟邦升任长老，难道这个时候秦伟邦已经是东方旭的亲信了？那这次岁银劫失……

杨莲亭打了个激灵，把脑海中各种杂七杂八的想法全部驱逐，不想再被这种诡异感占据，专心吃起眼前的酒席。

However, Yang Lianting's expressions of surprise, confusion, uneasiness, and disbelief all fell into Dongfang Xu's eyes one by one.Dongfang Xu lowered his eyes to cover the playfulness and interest in his eyes, took a big sip from his wine glass, and concealed the playfulness on his lips.

Push the cup and change the cup, the host and guest enjoy themselves.

杨莲亭转辗反侧一夜，又回到重生时经常做的梦，那个一袭红衣的身影怎么也挥之不去，凄厉的“莲弟”依然犹在耳边，然而这次却是定格在一身浅蓝色长袍的男子背影，缓缓转过身，英俊的脸上，眉清目秀，极薄的嘴唇微抿，嘴角轻轻上挑，邪魅一笑。杨莲亭被这个笑容晃花了眼，只觉脖子一凉，无尽的鲜血突突往外冒，染红了衣服，大片大片……

第二日一早，闵二城等人就来找秦伟邦了解事情始末，刚好看到秦伟邦站在门口，弯着腰，维持着恭敬的姿态，目送东方旭离开江西分坛。

对于东方旭的突然离开，秦伟邦并没有说什么，闵二城等人自然也是无甚在意，只有杨莲亭心里感觉有些费解，不明白东方旭是特意留下见他们一面，还是恰好碰面而已。

秦伟邦见闵二城等人，二话不说就唤来了押送岁银的郭头领，一位旗主。

When Yang Lianting and the others saw Guo Qizhu, he was still seriously injured. Min Ercheng inspected his wounds in detail and found that most of them were sword wounds. Among them, one or two sword wounds contained cold air that prevented the wounds from healing. They were obviously from the Songshan School. It is caused by the combination of internal strength and heart method of the cold ice scripture combined with Songshan swordsmanship.Min Ercheng asked Guo Qizhu to describe the martial arts methods and moves of the robbers, as well as their accents, etc. Everyone is masked, so the appearance is naturally invisible.As confirmed by Yang Lianting's previous investigation, there is no doubt about who the criminal is, and the rest naturally needs to carefully investigate the traitors in the church, which is far more important than finding out who the criminal is.

闵二城分两人一组，详细去调查押送队每一个教众的背景和出发前十日的活动范围和行动详情，具体到每一个细节，包括何时何地与何人碰面，对话内容是什么，详细记录在案。

如此在江西分坛调查了数十日之久，闵二城等人都已查清楚事情始末。事情已经远远超出了预估的严重情况，江西分坛押送岁银的小队里，其中有一位教众正是文长老的远房侄子，如若真的跟文长老有关系，教中各方势力怕是会涤荡不安，甚至地震重组！

随后，闵二城带着六人快马加鞭启程回总教汇报罗长老。

七人回到黑木崖直奔朱雀堂，向罗长老如实禀报了探查的情况，并上交了记录的各种线索和证据。

"During the execution of this mission, Yang Lianting performed excellently. The young man worked hard. The leader will not treat his capable and loyal brothers badly. The leader is a man who loves talents!" After listening to Min Ercheng's report, Elder Luo praised Yang Lianting a lot, and also I have a good impression of Min Ercheng's move of not taking credit.

“多谢罗长老厚爱，小子第一次领差事，什么都不懂，一路上全靠闵二哥和各位兄弟的照顾，小子能为神教尽微薄之力，是小子的福气，以后必定戒骄戒躁更加努力向前辈们学习！”杨莲亭面上诚惶诚恐，一副感激不尽的模样，心里却只是松了一口气：第一次见面就夸我“俊朗不凡”，说的不就是徒有虚表嘛，这次睁大你们的狗眼看看，老子才不是绣花枕头呢！

The author has something to say:

这张称呼可能会看着有点乱，我解释一下，指教主时期的，称东方不败，指这辈子的，称东方旭或者东方左使。
