Chapter 1143 Chapter 1084

Chapter 1143 Chapter [-] The city is full of wind and rain

The rain in the autumn night extinguished most of the light on the ground, and the people who plotted secretly hid themselves in the darkness.

Near the Golden Tower, the subordinates of the "Runner King" who were in charge of the aftermath were still wearing coir raincoats and searching around.In the New Tiger Palace more than ten miles away from the Golden Tower, Xu Zhaonan, Lin Zongwu, Wang Nanda and others who were shocked by the chaos had already gathered in the main hall.

After a while, the information from all aspects has basically been compiled. Afterwards, "Jackdaw", "Heavenly Sword", "Monkey King", Gao Huiyun, Meng Zhutao and others also came over one after another.

In the gloomy night, the atmosphere in the New Tiger Palace also seemed cold.Xu Zhaonan's eyes were gloomy. Some of the masters who appeared in the hall at this time were also injured in the previous chaos. This sudden conflict caused a lot of damage to the face and heart of the King of the Wheel.

"...The group of people who were assassinated in Jinlou before, we have captured four people alive now, and the first round of interrogation has been passed."

Jackdaw Chen Juefang had some bandages wrapped around his body. He was accidentally plotted by Lime Powder in the fight with Liang Siyi and You Hongzhuo earlier. A grenade exploded in the middle of the night, and new wounds were added to the old wounds. He was very embarrassed, and his voice was rough.

"There are no clues in the interrogation. We now know that these people are hired Jianghu people, and they don't even know each other. The person who paid them asked them to do it tonight in order to let them muddy the water. Really do it There are only one or two masters who kill... the one who succeeded, the lightness kungfu is very good, I have injuries on my body, so I couldn't catch up..."

After Chen Juefang explained the matter, there was a moment of silence, and the hall was also quiet, and everyone's expressions were a little gloomy. The murder of Liu Guangshi's envoy was embarrassing for everyone today.

Xu Zhaonan looked around, and said coldly: "The assailant is highly skilled in martial arts, and his lightness kung fu is also strong. Who is the specific person from? Does anyone have any clues?"

"In this world, there are only five fingers who can beat 'Jackdaw' in lightness."

"I have injuries." Chen Juefang said.

"This person has a bad mouth, but it reminds me of someone else." In the hall, Tan Zheng opened his mouth. At this moment, he also had some bandages on his body, but they were scratches from the explosion. They were not serious, but just an insult. He is extremely sexual, which makes him look quite scary at this moment.He looked up at Lin Zongwu and Wang Nanda: "The leader and the deputy leader, do you still remember a monk from the North?"

Wang Nanda frowned: "Swallow clouds."

Tan Zheng nodded: "This person's nickname in the past was Cloud Swallowing Iron Armor. He seems to be famous for his iron armor and iron sleeves, but in fact he is very light-hearted. After taking off the iron armor, Zhou Tong couldn't catch him. His The martial arts are extremely high, but he is greedy for pleasure and has no great ambitions. In the past ten years, he has often been hired by big families to help with some dirty things. injustice."

Wang Nanda nodded: "The monk's mouth is not good."

"The question is who hired him this time."

"Wu Qimei and Tie Yan are very likely. This time at the Jiangning Conference, when our fair party is integrated, the small imperial court in Lin'an will bear the brunt of it. It's okay to kill people and make trouble. It's something they can do. And ah , this group of scholars also love to use such small tricks..."

"It's also possible for Zou Xu...Liu Guangshi is now leading the Northern Expedition and wants to regain the Central Plains. He is in a fierce battle with Zou Xu. If Zou Xu hires this cloud-swallowing monk, it makes sense to kill Liu Guangshi's people first. .”

"Also, everyone, don't forget that there are shadows from the southwest side in this incident..."

"It's just a grenade in the southwest. It's not like there aren't any outside. The old man thinks that there is no need to be suspicious..."

It was raining heavily outside the hall, and everyone talked about the possibility in the middle of it with a glance.At a certain moment when I arrived, I could only hear someone in the corner of the hall suddenly say: "Mr. Meng will give me an explanation for this matter."

Right now in this great hall, those who can speak up to discuss matters are all masters with high status in the Jianghu. Hearing such blunt words, everyone turned their heads and looked over there, only to see standing with arms folded and gloomy faces. The one over there was indeed the "Monkey King" Li Yanfeng.

What happened to Li Yanfeng tonight was extremely strange, and it was not easy for others to ask what happened.

This Jiangning meeting is one of the most grand gatherings in Jianghu in recent years. There are countless masters and rookies who dare to come from all over the world.But no matter who you compare with, the Monkey King of Tongshan is one of the most outstanding newcomers. Not only is he strong in martial arts, but even in terms of character and even the power behind him, even veterans like "Heavenly Sword" Tan Zheng dare not face It's underestimated.

In any place in the past, although Li Yanfeng had an arrogance, he still maintained the politeness and humility of the younger generation, and dealt with a kind of senior in a very decent manner.And when facing outsiders—just like today on the street outside the Golden Tower—his display of martial arts, majestic and heroic, can often subdue or even overwhelm the countless enemies he faces.

But in the second half of the battle on Jinlouwai Street, the Monkey King who blocked half of the long street with the power of a single stick did not know where he went, and started fighting with some unknown characters. Some people said that the Monkey King suffered a loss and lost his temper after chasing a few children. Some people said that he was slapped by Jin Yongsheng, the big treasurer of Baofeng. He was beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. When others asked him about the ins and outs, he didn't say much.

This is not surprising.

Although the feast at the Golden Tower tonight seemed lively, Baofeng and Zhuanlunwang were not gay after all. It is difficult for ordinary people to figure out exactly what happened between the "Monkey King", the foreign dragon crossing the river, and Jin Yongsheng, but no matter what kind of conspiracy theory it is, it is feasible and possible in the middle of it. If he doesn't say anything, it's natural for others not to ask more questions.

On the other hand, among the envoys sent by Liu Guangshi this time, Gu Anhe, who was assassinated tonight, was the chief envoy, and Li Yanfeng was one of the deputy envoys.After Gu Anhe was killed, Li Yanfeng certainly lost some face, but his aggressive behavior on the street basically brought back his face.

If this kind of thing can continue, maybe Li Yanfeng will be amicable now, but who would have expected the bizarre development later.After Zhengshi was killed, his deputy fell into chaos and was also beaten into a pig's head, losing all face. Perhaps it was also because of this that caused his bad words at the moment.

However, no matter what kind of anger is hidden in his heart, Meng Zhuotao, the "Measurable Ruler" who is in charge of the "Resentment Society" at the moment, is by no means easy to deal with.This big man who once killed his teacher with his own hands is superb in martial arts with an iron ruler. Although he didn't wanton in the street today, when it comes to martial arts attainments, he can be regarded as the strongest in the palace under Lin Zongwu. Among the "Eight Commandments", the position is important and the authority is deep. Most of the time, even Xu Zhaonan dare not reprimand him at will.

At this moment, Li Yanfeng aimed at Meng Zhuotao, and the atmosphere in the hall seemed to suddenly become a little colder. Meng Zhuotao squinted his eyes and looked at Li Yanfeng. On the side of the hall, "Heavenly Sword" Tan Zheng opened his mouth dryly. Mouth: "Hey, my nephew, calm down." It's like helping to fight, fulfilling the duty of an elder.

Meng Zhutao said slowly: "What does Monkey King Li mean by this?"

"Mr. Gu was killed today, General Liu lost face, Li went back, this matter is difficult to explain." Li Yanfeng looked at him without giving in - if the right eyelid was not swollen, it might appear more mighty Some, "Senior Chen said that he arrested four people there, but no one knows the details. Could it be that this is the case?"

"Tell me what you think." Meng Zhutao said.

Li Yanfeng nodded: "Today in the Jinlou, the thieves waited for an opportunity to assassinate. Everyone has not forgotten how the opportunity came. Mr. Meng, it was your juniors and sisters surnamed Ling who made the trouble. The timing of the thief's assassination, and now there is no breakthrough from the four thieves, it is only fair to ask your juniors and sisters whether they have colluded with others and who they are. You are in charge of "resentment Yes, it is the responsibility of the criminal law to preside over the fair party, is there any problem with my statement?"

Facing Meng Zhuotao, Li Yanfeng's words could already be called aggressive.Meng Zhutao looked at him over there, and after a while, she nodded lightly: "What you said makes sense, and I will look into this matter."

Li Yanfeng said: "But since Mr. Meng is in charge of the criminal law, it is fair for you to interrogate your relatives at this moment. I feel that it is more fair for you brothers and sisters to be handed over to Senior Chen for interrogation. You Say?"

There was another silence in the hall, and some people frowned.Meng Zhutao looked at him, his eyes did not change, but he said slowly: "It's impossible."

When he said these four words, there was no debate or explanation. Li Yanfeng let go of his hands on his chest and confronted Meng Zhutao.Tiandao Tan here was about to say a few words to ease the atmosphere, when Xu Zhaonan, who hadn't spoken for a long time, slapped his palm on the armrest of the seat: "Enough!"

"Isn't today's incident enough to lose people? Are there still internal strife among us?" Xu Zhaonan looked around and paused for a moment on Li Yanfeng, "Mr. Li's loss today, I promise, will definitely make up for it. As for Mr. Meng's younger brothers and sisters, I understand that they really have nothing to do with this matter. Please let Mr. Meng handle it according to his discretion. Back and forth, this matter is our own face... Master, this matter Things, your opinion is..."

He looked at Lin Zongwu next to him.From the very beginning, the Holy Hierarch had a half-smile on the whole situation, he didn't seem to care, and he seemed to be holding a wisdom pearl, so he naturally wanted to ask at this moment.

I saw Lin Zongwu shook his head and smiled: "From my point of view, you are just deluded. What was originally a simple matter seems to be very complicated, and my own people almost fought."

He paused at this point, Xu Zhaonan said: "Please show me, Holy Master."

Lin Zongwu's eyes lowered slightly: "Since I entered the city, I have helped fight a few rings. We, the King of the Wheel, are gaining momentum, but there is no reason for the family to take advantage of all the cheap things in the world? They took advantage yesterday , Today we will be prepared to be targeted. Gu Anhe was assassinated at the banquet of Xiao Chen and Xiao Meng, and it was our faces. Even if it is not Gu Anhe's assassination today, I also feel that there should be other things to do It happened, the other four families won’t look at our family as the dominant one, right? This is the first place to know.”

When the fat man said this, he smiled and paused: "And the second thing is that someone hit you in the face. As for who hit you, is it important? Everyone, everyone knows what's going on in the city now." Ming. There are five families in the Fair Party, and now the Chou Yinmao will be separated. Besides the Fair Party, there are dozens of households, large and small. Seeing that the day of negotiations is approaching, these dozens of families So, there is always a fight, even if it is found out today that Wu Qimei did it, and Zou Xu did it, so what? Should I kill him back? Or is it not Wu Qimei who did it? When it is time to beat him, just Stop hitting him?"

"The dozens of houses in the city will be chaotic sooner or later." Lin Zongwu said, "It's a boring job to try to find out everything. We are just one of them. What needs to be distinguished is nothing more than who is standing with us. If we are together, whoever does not stand with us. Since we are our own people, we must unite, not our own people, and just find an excuse to kill him tomorrow, such as Wu Qimei's gang, Zou Xu's gang, Next, talk to them, if you can be your own person, this matter has nothing to do with them, if you can't agree, they kill Mr. Gu, do you want them to leave Jiangning?"

"As for how many people took action today, how many forces behind them moved their hands and feet, and which masters made their moves, it is really meaningless to analyze and analyze. The situation is so chaotic, and there will be many masters coming out for everything in the future. Yes, everyone, don’t be fooled by these things. What you are facing now is no longer a world, nor is it a trivial matter of gratification and enmity. The water in the political field is very deep, so be vigilant. Mr. Xu, what do you say? , is that what you said?"

Sitting on top of the main hall, Lin Zongwu was as tall as a mountain, and spoke calmly and slowly.He has been exposed to more political events now, and has a deeper understanding of many things. Speaking of these views at this time, it really gave everyone a sense of planning and stability.Xu Zhaonan took a deep breath and cupped his hands in admiration.

"Holy Hierarch's insightful insights and clearing the clouds to see the sun are admirable. My admiration for the Hierarch is like a surging river..."

Immediately followed Lin Zongwu's statement and issued an order.

"...According to the teaching of the holy leader, who did this matter, and the investigation still needs to be investigated, so Chen Juefang and Meng Zhutao are fully responsible. At the same time, Wu Qimei, Tie Yan, Zou Xu and other representatives came over to sit down and ask who the murderer is. General Liu Guangshi has always been friends with us, and his envoy was killed at our banquet. Someone Xu must investigate to the end and tell them, Anyone who is suspected, don’t even think about running away! General Gao will preside over this negotiation, with Mr. Tan as his deputy, how about it?”

Below Chen Juefang, Meng Zhutao, Gao Huiyun, Tan Zheng and others respected the order immediately.

"...In addition, King Fairness is about to enter the city. Whether it's fighting or talking, the situation will change a lot. You must pay attention to the teachings of the Holy Hierarch, and maintain unity as the top priority. Yanfeng, you are young It is a good thing to be energetic and aggressive, but no matter what, Mr. Meng is my comrade and your senior, so you should not be aggressive with him... I will make up for your loss today. I have agreed to the several business deals about Tongshan that I mentioned in Japan, and there will be other compensation within three days to ensure your satisfaction, what do you think?"

Li Yanfeng also immediately thanked him, and then apologized to Meng Zhuotao, then turned to Xu Zhaonan and said: "Mr. Gu's justice and General Liu's face are all thanks to Mr. Xu and the seniors who presided over it." But it will be for Gu'anhe The name of debt collection was duly handed over to Xu Zhaonan.

Xu Zhaonan and everyone laughed, and then said: "As for how many masters appeared on the streets today, and where they are from, I don't think there is any need to mention them. Those who gave face and were taken down, we will Be more generous, I will go to meet them in person later, and then let them go, don't be aggressive. As for the ties that I have formed with you today, there are grievances and grievances that I have to say..."

Xu Zhaonan paused for a moment, then glanced at the crowd: "...how about these grievances and grievances?"

Under the big scene of mixed fish and dragons in Jiangning City, a few masters suddenly appeared somewhere, and whoever was killed and who was injured had nothing to do with the overall situation.Xu Zhaonan didn't bother to take care of it, and Lin Zongwu didn't care - as the number one in the world, he had neither the time nor the mood to understand the situation of one or several young masters - everyone immediately expressed reasonableness after listening.

Although a few people ran away tonight, and due to various circumstances, Tan Zheng, Chen Juefang, Li Yanfeng and others were all injured and lost some face, but overall, among the few masters who appeared, who were not suppressed by them? Fighting, almost killed?As a master of this level, he felt a sense of urgency, a sense of hunger and thirst, and he was also full of confidence in the next matter of slaying the enemy.

As for putting it on the table to say that someone had cut face by someone, and even needed to organize revenge, that would really lose the last face of the old world.

"Finally, if that cloud-swallowing monk is really in the city, we will meet in the future..." Before leaving, Xu Zhaonan added, "...make a price for him to come to our place, and we will let the past go."

"What if he refuses?"

"Then kill him, what's the use of keeping him."

Xu Zhaonan smiled and waved his hand.

It's still raining.

Everything was submerged in clammy darkness.

After the meeting at the New Tiger Palace, other places in the city naturally have other groups of forces discussing how to deal with the whole matter.After whispering, the dark figures parted again.

……

Endless cold is surging from all directions, drowning the already broken body.

In the cloudy and rainy weather, she occasionally appears sober, with only the figure walking forward with her on her back in her eyes.

At an unknown place, the figure tore open her clothes, as if repairing the breach in her body.

He was also seriously injured, but for some unknown reason, he hadn't fallen down yet.

"Wake up..."

"Wake up..."

"Wake me up!"

In a trance, I also feel that I have been slapped in the face.

In the rainy night, a broken body is struggling to repair another broken body.

"You, You Hongzhuo..."

"Ok?"

"You still remember...remember..."

"what?"

"Do you remember... Luan Fei... and Qin Xiang..."

"Well, I remember." The broken figure was not surprised by the name she mentioned.

"That's my...young brother...and sister...you...you..."

"……guessed."

"Yanmen Pass... Yanmen Pass is too desolate... There is no food, everyone will starve to death..."

"..."

"Older brothers and sisters...they go out to find food, find ways...to get money, and bring back the silver..."

"Ah."

"Sometimes, they also lied to people...and harmed some people...Brother Luan and Sister Qinxiang...Do you remember..."

"...Third Sister was very kind to me." The broken figure replied in a muffled voice, "Killed by Tan Zheng and his gang..."

"Brother Luan lost his legs after he went back, and sister Qin Xiang also went... He, he's having a bad time..."

"..."

"Later, you became famous, helping the ladies, acting chivalrously...sometimes he would talk about you..."

"..."

"Say... It's a pity that your brotherhood is fake, he... didn't treat your brother well..."

"...Is he still alive?"

"Master Luan... so poor..."

"..."

"There's nothing to eat..."

"... is he... alive?"

"He... has no legs..."

"..."

"Master Luan... so poor..."

"..."

"Jurchen is about to go south, he has no legs... Sister Qin Xiang is gone too... fell into the well and died..."

The rain didn't stop, and in silence, You Hongzhuo hugged her, slightly startled...

"Damn it...Jurchen—" the woman cried out, "Central Plains...before the Central Plains...well..."

The autumn wind and autumn rain are as cold as a knife, cutting continuously from under the dilapidated eaves and from endless directions.He still remembered the scene he saw in Zhaode, the troops of the chaotic army rushed towards the enemy one after another, the group was scattered, and another general named Wang Juyun's adopted son and daughter led them. They fought again, the city wall was broken, and several teams rushed forward to seal the opening. The female general who had always had a cold face was exhausted, and finally hugged her brother's body in a pool of blood, crying to the sky.

There are not many powerful tactics in the battle of the chaotic division. Their supplies are too small, and their training is not enough. They just... tried their best.

So he also tried his best to let her survive...
