Chapter 587: Someone from Tianzong Finally Arrives

The next morning, Xiao Shiyilang, Feng Siniang and Yang Kaitai left early, while Lian Chengbi took Shen Bijun to the south of the Yangtze River.

The two men walked for another twenty days instead of ten days.

Along the way, he traveled around the mountains and rivers, enjoying the scenery. It seemed that he had no mission at all like investigating the Young Master Tian of the Tian Sect. He just looked like he had nothing to do and was just traveling with his beauty.

Even Shen Bijun would sometimes forget about this matter, immersed in the beautiful scenery of Songshan Mountain, the ancient capital of Xuchang, the scenery of Lianghuai, and the prosperity of the Milky Way.

The two men traveled south and first arrived in Hankou. After sightseeing for a while, they took a boat down the river, passed Dazhi and went to Jiujiang, admired the Lushan Waterfall, and then went through Anqing and Tongling, and finally arrived in Jinling.

There was no conversation along the way. I hardly met any familiar underworld people along the way, and no suspicious underworld celebrities came up to me to look for suspicion.

Shen Bijun couldn't help but wonder, "Could it be that Tianzong doesn't take Tu Xiaotian seriously, and doesn't think he will say anything that threatens Tianzong's secrets?"

Lian Chengbi stroked his chin, thinking about whether to release some information.

"Brother Lian! Madam Lian!"

A familiar shout drew the two's attention, and they saw a middle-aged couple in fancy clothes strolling down the street. When they saw them, they greeted them and hurried forward.

"Brother Zhou!"

"Mrs. Zhou!"

Lian Chengbi and Shen Bijun also went to greet them. These two people were Zhou Zhigang and Jin Fenghuang, the owners and couple of Baima Villa, which was not far from Wugui Villa.

The couple was also present at their wedding. Zhou Zhigang and Lian Chengbi had always had a good relationship, and Shen Bijun also knew them.

"Why did Brother Zhou and sister-in-law come to Jinling?" Lian Chengbi asked.

These two people have appeared in "The Fight with Xiao Shiyilang". Zhou Zhigang has covered for Lian Chengbi, and Jin Fenghuang has also deceived Feng Siniang, but they are not from Tianzong.

Zhou Zhigang smiled and said, "Brother Lian and his wife can travel all over the country, eliminate bandits in Huai'an, kill bandits in Lanzhou, and travel all the way to Jiayuguan to kill the famous Sikong Shu and Tu Xiaotian. We don't have this ability, but we still have the courage to come to Nanjing for a stroll."

Lian Chengbi raised his eyebrows, "Did the news spread so quickly?"

Golden Phoenix held Shen Bijun and said with a flattering smile, "Sikong Shu was tempted by beauty, and Tu Xiaotian helped Zhou to commit atrocities. Only a man like Master Lian can protect my sister."

Lian Chengbi did not hide from others when he killed Tu Xiaotian, and their conversation was overheard by some people. In addition, the escort agency's escorts and porters returned to the Central Plains on the day of the Lanzhou battle, so the name of Tianzong had already spread in a small circle.

The Jiangnan Zhou family has been passed down for a hundred years. Although they are not a big family, they have well-informed channels of information and knew the news.

Shen Bijun smiled softly, "Sister is laughing at me."

The four of them walked side by side. Zhou Zhigang asked Lian Chengbi, "Brother Lian, are you planning to go back to Jiangnan with your wife?"

Lian Chengbi nodded and said jokingly, "After a trip to the northwest, I am preparing to return to Jiangnan for the winter."

Zhou Zhigang laughed, "Brother Lian, you are very thoughtful. The northwest is frosty and snowy once winter comes. It is really not a good place. Our Jiangnan is warm and comfortable in winter."

Lian Chengbi smiled and said, "That's right, Brother Zhou, are you going back with me and my wife?"

"Brother Lian, are you in a hurry to return to Wuque Villa?" Zhou Zhigang asked instead of answering, "If you are not in a hurry, we can leave tomorrow."

"Of course not." Lian Chengbi said with a smile, "Brother Zhou, do you have anything to do tonight?"

"Zhao Wuji is hosting a banquet for me in Jinling. If you have time, Brother Lian, you can go and meet him." Zhou Zhigang said.

"Zhao Wuji?" Lian Chengbi's eyes flashed, "Zhao Wuji from Xiantian Wuji Sect?"

"It's him." Zhou Zhigang nodded and said, "Zhao Wuji and the Heart-Destroying Swordsman Cui Yiru had an appointment to fight in Zijin Mountain. After he won a small victory, he hosted a banquet in Jinling and invited me to a small gathering. Zhao Wuji and I have some friendship, so I came to support him." "Did you also watch the fight between him and Cui Yiru?" Lian Chengbi asked.

"Just this morning." Zhou Zhigang smiled, "Zhao Wuji's eighty-one Wuji sword techniques are linked together, and his innate Wuji true qi is long-lasting. His martial arts are indeed very powerful."

Golden Phoenix also went to watch the fight and continued, "Although Cui Yiru's swordsmanship is sharp, she can't stand a long fight. She was impatient and was stabbed by Zhao Wuji's sword in the shoulder well acupoint. She died with injuries."

Lian Chengbi asked thoughtfully, "Zhao Wuji only invited you to Jinling?"

"The Xiantian Wuji Sect is located in Hebei, and he has no friends in Jiangnan." Zhou Zhigang explained, "I met him once in Luoyang, so we have some friendship."

"He also said that he has no friends in Jiangnan. If I have friends, just bring them to him. He will welcome them very much." Zhou Zhigang said with a smile.

Lian Chengbi laughed and asked, "Then why did he and Cui Yiru make an appointment to fight here?"

"Because Cui Yiru's apprentice injured a disciple of Xiantian Wuji Sect in Central Plains, and insulted him, saying that Wuji Swordsmanship has an arrogant name but does not live up to its reputation, and is a silver-plated spearhead."

Zhou Zhigang sighed, "So Zhao Wuji took action himself."

"Wuji swordsmanship is easy to learn but difficult to master, and innate Wuji Qi requires a long time to cultivate. Zhao Wuji's disciples obviously haven't mastered these two skills."

Golden Phoenix also shook his head and said, "Cui Yiru used his apprentice's martial arts to speculate on Zhao Wuji. It's not unfair that he lost."

Lian Chengbi nodded. He only had one last question left, "When did Zhao Wuji challenge Cui Yiru to a duel?"

"Three days ago." Zhou Zhigang said.

Lian Chengbi understood.

Zhou Zhigang asked, "Zhao Wuji is also a famous hero in Hebei. Brother Lian, are you interested in meeting him?"

"Let's go." Lian Chengbi said with a smile, "Brother Zhou invited me, so of course I have to go."

Zhou Zhigang laughed loudly, "If Brother Lian can go, I will be very proud."

Lian Chengbi also smiled but said nothing.

I was just wondering why Tianzong didn’t react at all, and now he’s here?

It turns out that Tianzong was not unlucky, but had been preparing and planning carefully. Through Zhou Zhigang's invitation, he reduced Zhao Wuji's suspicion to the lowest level, made friends with Lian Chengbi, and then tested the situation again.

If it was someone who Lian Chengbi didn't know, he might not have noticed it, but Zhao Wuji...

He is the first person from Tianzong to appear in the original novel!

However, Zhao Wuji and Tu Xiaotian appeared together in the original novel, but it was also him who came to test them this time. Could it be that they didn’t know each other at this time?
……

As night falls, the lights come on.

On the banks of the Qinhuai River, there is Yuehua Tower.

Lian Chengbi and his wife followed Zhou Zhigang and Jin Fenghuang to the second floor, where they saw a middle-aged man with a white face, a slight beard, and a slightly plump figure. He had a smile on his round face, and he looked like a wealthy man who was kind to others.

"Hello, Brother Zhou and his wife!"

Zhao Wuji greeted Zhou Zhigang first, then he clasped his fists and said to Lian Chengbi and Shen Bijun with a smile, "Zhao Wuji is honored to have the Immortal Couple here!"
