Chapter 185 Dangerous Rivers and Lakes
The sky turned dark, the breeze parted the clouds, and a bright moon appeared over the town.

On the top of a three-story restaurant outside Xianyue Lane, Pei Xiangjun was wearing night clothes, lying on the ridge of the roof, carefully watching the movement among the buildings, with two long guns wrapped in black cloth beside him.

The fluffy big bird squatted beside the house, jumping back and forth on the house, paying attention to the situation inside and outside, so that they could rush to help each other in time if something strange happened.

Ye Jingtang has been in for about an hour, judging from Niao Niao's signal, everything is normal, no accident is waiting for someone.

Pei Xiangjun knew that he had found the right place. The Moon Tower was in contact with the hidden King Wu, and he was highly concentrated, paying attention to the troubles around him.

After paying attention for a long time, I finally noticed that there was movement outside the town. Through the moonlight, I could see a fast horse galloping towards the official road outside the town.

She took out the binoculars and looked out of the town, and she could see that a man in a robe was sitting immediately. After arriving outside the town, he flew up without dismounting his horse. His figure was like a hawk, and he passed through the scattered houses at an alarming speed. Refers to Moon Lane.

When Pei Xiangjun saw this scene, he knew that King Wu had taken the bait, and sent someone to negotiate; as long as King Wu's cronies showed up, the birds would be able to track him down.

Pei Xiangjun shifted his vision to the rear, and wanted to see how many people King Wu had arranged to come over, but after looking at it, he realized something was wrong.

I saw a man in a robe, who had just jumped into the town, when a black shadow flashed across the mountains outside the town, following him at a distance of half a mile. Judging from the distance and body position, he was obviously following him, and he was not caught by Wen. robed man found.

When Pei Xiangjun saw this scene, he couldn't help being suspicious—the man in the robe came galloping on horseback, and the follower behind him was on foot. If he only relied on lightness kung fu to keep up, then the shadow behind him might be a bit exaggerated in lightness kung fu.

Pei Xiangjun secretly observed the movements of the two before and after, and soon found that the man in the robe had landed near the Moon Lane, negotiated with the people from the Moon Tower, and quickly entered the building complex.

And the black shadow following behind landed on the house without a sound and moved towards the direction of the Huang family's mansion.

But as soon as the black shadow approached the range of Moon Lane, he stopped suddenly, then raised his head, turned his gaze to her side, and pulled out a long cylinder from his waist, pulling it away to look at her position.

! !
Seeing this scene, Pei Xiangjun broke out in a cold sweat, because he was hiding well in the night clothes, without any movement, even his breathing was stagnant.

But the black shadow in the distance obviously noticed that there was someone watching on the roof here. After just a glance, he quickly put away the binoculars, turned around and flew out of the town at an extremely fast speed, but disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Pei Xiangjun was startled but still a little dazed, not daring to be careless, carefully observing the direction in which the black shadow disappeared.

As a result, after waiting for half a quarter of an hour, before the black shadow left and returned, a white-clothed ghost appeared on the path of the black shadow.

The visitor was dressed in a long snow-colored dress and a veiled hat. His figure looked ethereal, and he seemed to merge with the sky and the earth while strolling in the garden. Even the fluttering of his robes carried the rhythm of blending into the environment.

The woman in white walked in a very special way, almost stepping on the spot where the black shadow had just passed, and stopped to take a look when she walked not far away. It should be checking her footprints. After tracking the spot where the shadow had just stopped, the woman in white also stopped.

Pei Xiangjun secretly thought that something was wrong, so he lowered his body from the ridge of the roof in advance to avoid being discovered again.

But the woman in white was obviously unfathomable in martial arts, and she didn't dare to lose her vision for too long. After a while, she raised her head and continued to observe.

As a result, as she expected, the woman in white had already followed the direction in which the black shadow fled, and gradually disappeared from sight.

Pei Xiangjun was baffled, from these clues, we can roughly deduce the general situation - there is a master of lightness kung fu who, for some purpose, is secretly following King Wu's people; and the unfathomable woman in white is following the master of lightness kung fu from behind .

Based on these alone, it is obviously impossible to tell whether these two people belong to the forces, whether they are enemies or friends.

Pei Xiangjun thought for a moment, and he could only sigh secretly that the situation in Wuzhou was really chaotic, and continued to observe the surrounding trends...
-
The sky was completely dark, and the main hall deep in Xianyue Lane was already lit with lights.

After the initial negotiation, Huang Yulong didn't say much because he would lose his words if he said too much. He just sat and waited by the tea table.

Luo Ning sat on the chair, holding the teacup and rubbing it lightly, but because she was wearing a veil, she naturally didn't drink.

Ye Jingtang stood with his hands behind his back, full of aura as a master guard, and he didn't even shake his bamboo hat from the beginning to the end.

After waiting for nearly an hour, there was finally movement outside the hall.

Luo Ning looked around, and saw a middle-aged man in a robe walking in, holding a folding fan in his hand, tapping on his palm, his posture was quite elegant and calm, and he bowed his hands after entering the door:
"I'm Bai Siming, I've heard of Mrs. Xue's name for a long time, and seeing her today is really extraordinary."

Luo Ning pretended to be a 'life-saving straw', she definitely wouldn't respect the corporal, she put on a good posture, didn't get up, just raised her hand:
"Master Bai, please sit down. Is Wu Wang okay these days?"

Bai Siming sat down opposite Huang Yulong, but he still had some doubts in his heart; Huang Yulong, who was next to him, knew that Bai Siming was worried that the other party was a person pretending to be a Pingtian Sect, so he said:

"Master Bai, don't worry, I went to Tiannan two years ago, and I was fortunate enough to meet Mrs. Xue once; I can pretend to be one, but I can't pretend to be the 'No. [-] beauty in Jianghu'."

Seeing this, Bai Siming didn't ask any more questions, and said with a smile:

"Everything is fine, King Wu. He is negotiating with Yanzhou and will leave soon. If Mrs. Xue came over later, she might not be able to see Bai."

Luo Ning understood the meaning of these words—King Wu does not lack your connections, it is the Pingtian Sect who is asking for King Wu, not King Wu asking for help from the Pingtian Sect—she gently rubbed the rim of the cup with the lid, and responded flatly:
"The king of Yan holds the Yanzhou army in his hand, he wants money and people, and he doesn't lack the family fortune of King Wu at all.

"If King Wu took over Emperor Fei, King Yan might consider colluding with the world; but without Emperor Fei, King Wu might be nothing in King Yan's eyes.

"At this time, Master Bai said that King Yan is going to take the rebellious officials and thieves to Yanzhou at the risk of being suspected by the court. What is King Yan planning? What kind of brotherhood with King Wu?"

Bai Siming tapped his palm with a folding fan and said with a smile:

"Madam Xue underestimated King Wu's background. In recent years, King Wu has recruited strange people and researched a secret medicine that can double the energy of ordinary human bodies. As long as the number is large enough, one can be created in a short time. The elite soldiers of Enemy Five, King Yan is very interested in this thing."

When Ye Jingtang heard this, his heart moved, and he interjected:
"If King Wu had this kind of medicine, why did he end up like this today?"

Because he might deal with other identities in the future, Ye Jingtang deliberately suppressed his voice, making it sound a little hoarse.

Upon hearing this, Bai Siming looked at Ye Jingtang and frowned:

"Who is this?"

"The protector I teach in Pingtian."

Luo Ning's eyes were flat, and she followed Ye Jingtang's words:

"His words are not unreasonable. If there is this medicine, why would King Wu do this?"

Bai Siming sighed softly: "The medicine has just been made, and the efficacy of the medicine is still being measured, so the matter was revealed in advance, which led to the current situation. It is normal for Mrs. Xue not to believe it. Show Madam Xue something."

As Bai Siming said, he took a box the size of a rouge box from his sleeve, and when he opened it, it contained silver powder:

"This is Xuehu powder. Its effect is similar to that of Xuehu flower, and it has the miraculous effect of extending meridians and protecting meridians. The value of Xuehu flower should not need to be introduced by Bai. This one alone is worth taking a risk on a normal day. And the prince’s accumulation is far more than this, it’s all what you urgently need to restore the country in Pingtianjiao..."

Seeing that the other party directly took out his main target, Ye Jingtang asked calmly:

"Master Bai is sure that this thing is comparable to Snow Lake Flower?"

"There is a gap in the strength of the medicine, but if taken for a long time, it will have the same effect as Xuehuhua."

Bai Siming said, looking at Huang Yulong:

"Go find a medicine tester with a damaged Qi channel."

Huang Yulong raised his hand slightly, and Xiao Shichen, the second head of the family, walked out of the main hall quickly.

After a while, there was a sound outside the door.

clap clap-

The sound of iron chains rubbing.

Ye Jingtang looked around, but saw Xiao Shichen dragging a man in with one hand holding the iron chain.

The man was covered in cuts and bruises, his hair was unkempt, his whole body was bound with iron chains, and his mouth was also gagged.

Seeing this scene, Ye Jingtang couldn't help frowning secretly.

"Woooo-"

The man was dragged into the main hall and knelt on the ground, looking around with fear in his eyes.

Bai Siming got up and came to him, pulled out the sackcloth that gagged his mouth, and prepared to feed the medicine.

Ye Jingtang knew that the medicine made by Wu Wang had eaten dead people, so after thinking about it, he asked:
"Even if there is no injury, the snow lake flower can nourish the meridians and protect the veins. Does this medicine have hidden dangers, so it can only be taken by people who test the medicine?"

Bai Siming was also straightforward, poured out some Xuehusan, and threw it directly into his mouth:

"The medicine is three-point poisonous, so you can't take too much, but taking a small amount is beneficial and harmless."

Ye Jingtang nodded slightly, and after Bai Siming poured the snow lake powder into the man's mouth, he put his hand on the man's shoulder to check the condition of his Qi veins. After waiting for a quarter of an hour, he found that the damaged Qi veins had stabilized and improved slightly signs.

Bai Siming stood beside him with his hands behind his back, his eyes full of arrogance:
"This medicine can cure terminal illnesses that were incurable in the past. For the Jianghu people, it is a unique healing medicine. I wonder if Mrs. Xue and Your Excellency are interested?"

Ye Jingtang was sure that there was a substitute for Snow Lake Flower, and felt relieved.Since there is, it is still a finished product, then as long as the formula is obtained, the errand assigned by Yuhu can be completed.

But how to succeed is a big problem.

Asking for the formula directly, the intention is too obvious, and the other party can't give it now. Once the other party finds out the motive, they will have to fight.

Now that he has met the cronies around King Wu, he can follow the vine to find out the hiding place of King Wu, and let the birds follow him secretly, the possibility of success is obviously higher.

Ye Jingtang thought secretly, put his hands away, nodded and said:
"This medicine is indeed a sacred item. My wife and I have already arranged a specific way to take King Wu to Tiannan on the way. Mr. Bai can go back and report first. If King Wu is willing to do things for my Pingtian Sect in the future, I will wait for you at any time." Can be cited.

"However, Mr. Bai had better give an answer as soon as possible. A large number of people from the imperial court are coming. Today, there are already many arresters who are good at tracking. If you delay for an hour, the chance of leaving will be less."

Bai Siming naturally knew that the longer he procrastinated, the sooner he would die. Seeing that Pingtianjiao was so forthright, he wanted to turn back immediately and discuss with King Wu Fuming about fleeing.

But before Bai Siming had time to raise his hand to say goodbye, there was noise and the sound of gongs and drums at the edge of the town in the distance:
clang clang-

There is also the singing of birds in the sky:

"Zee——"

Ye Jingtang understood Niao Niao's signal - the army is coming!
Bai Siming, Huang Yulong and the others obviously understood the signal from the town sentry post, and when they knew that the brigade was approaching, their faces changed suddenly.

Snapped--

Huang Yulong smashed the teacup violently, wanting to glare at Ye Jingtang and Luo Ning.

But what I didn't expect was that Ye Jingtang, who was standing in the middle of the main hall, was more excited than them, turned his head first, and said angrily:
"You guys dare to point me to Pingtianjiao?!"

"..."

Huang Yulong opened his mouth, and forcibly held back the words in unison.

After all, he confirmed that the woman in front of him was the Goddess of the Toad Palace, a serious remnant of the previous dynasty, who insisted on rebellion for 60 years without changing her original intention, much darker than their group of white gloves.

It is said that the Pingtian sect notifies the officers and soldiers to come over and take them all in one pot. Isn't this harming others and benefiting oneself?
But it is even more impossible for them to call the officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress them. The Pingtian Sect had just arrived, and the officers and soldiers arrived on the back foot.

The faces of Bai Siming and the others kept changing, and there was obvious hostility in their eyes.

Ye Jingtang also didn't understand how the government came to kill him. If this happens when gangsters talk about cooperation, things are likely to go wrong.

Fortunately, he didn't want to cooperate at all. He was sure that there was a substitute for Xuehuhua. Then he only needed to kill the three people in front of him. If he could capture them alive, he would torture them to extract a confession.

But now that they are fighting, they are surrounded by the entire Moon Tower, and the risk is too great, so they have to withdraw from Moon Lane and join Sanniang.

Ye Jingtang is still pretending to be a rebel from Pingtian Sect, holding the knife handle and saying:

"There is fraud here, madam, go!"

Luo Ning's reaction was not slow at all, she quickly retreated to the door, and said angrily:
"Without my Pingtian teaching, I will see how you can escape!"

Wu Wang was desperate, Bai Siming was impatient when he heard this, he didn't want to give up the only straw in front of him.

But apart from the two people who came to the door, he couldn't think of anyone else who could leak the news and let the government come to copy the lair of Yueyuelou.

Bai Siming hesitated for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "Something went wrong today, we will discuss this matter later. You two are precious, and I have to get away first, so I won't send you off."

Ye Jingtang glared at the three of them, carefully exited the main hall, then flew up and jumped onto the house.

The officers and soldiers had already killed outside the town, Bai Siming and others did not dare to neglect, and immediately asked Huang Yulong and others to quickly pack up their things and prepare to escape.

At the same moment, above a mountain outside Baisu Town.

Jieyungong Lufeng, wearing a bamboo hat, stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the Qingqi galloping from the official road, his eyes flashed sarcasm.

"The mere Pingtian sect also wants to seize food in the hands of King Yan, hmph..."

Seeing the people in the town start to flee in all directions, Lu Feng snorted lightly, turned around and disappeared into the night...
