Lu Ping quickly followed.

Jiang Chen picked up the tea cup, but he wasn't really thirsty. He was just not used to having empty hands. After a while, he asked, "Are you going to deal with our colleagues in the west?"

Lu Ping was a little confused, "Huh?" Xi Mian? It seems that there is indeed a Tongji crafts shop?

Jiang Chen gave a rare explanation, "Those people just now are not from the Beggar Clan."

Lu Ping was surprised, "Boss, why do you see this?"

Jiang Chen glanced at him lightly.

Lu Ping smiled apologetically. This person was extremely shameless in front of Jiang Chen. Because Lu Ping discovered that he, the boss, had no ability to resist smiling faces. As long as the problem did not involve the boss himself, he would often pretend to be confused and laugh twice, and the matter would be revealed.

All thanks to his shamelessness. Because Bai Feng and the others don't have such playful and smiling faces.

Jiang Chen rubbed the cup in his hand and looked away, "The following people are from the Beggar Clan. The leader is not. There are very thick calluses on the mouth and palm of his hands, which are only seen by those who practice swordsmanship." Few of the real Beggar Clan disciples use weapons like swords. They use sticks, so their palms are thicker. When we arrived, your shop was doing well. Only people traveling with him would be angry about this. This person had been deliberately imitating the beggar gang and deliberately disguised his identity. When he left, he walked east. To the east was the side street where the beggar gang gathered. But now that the sun was shining, the beggar gang members were there. You should be asking for money and gathering information in restaurants and tea shops, never..."

“…pack your bags at this point.”

When he first entered the city, Lu Ping was still wondering why someone who showed no concern for the outside world at White Camel Villa would suddenly lift the car curtain again and again. Only then did he realize what he was looking at when he opened the car curtain. "Boss, have you been observing this since you entered the city?"

City layout.

This is one of Jiang Chen's thousands of habits, to see the surrounding environment clearly in the first place. The flowers and plants of Baituo Villa are clearly clear in Ouyang Ke's memory, but Jian'an is different. So as soon as he entered the city, he scanned the environment when he entered the city. Because several times, when he opened his eyes and saw a strange environment, the situations he faced were all about life and death dangers. Now it is almost a conditioned reflex, and the unfamiliar environment will make him feel some hidden uneasiness, perhaps even he himself is not aware of this uneasiness. But he has consciously developed a habit of familiarizing himself with everything around him immediately.

This is good practice.

Lu Ping thought about what Jiang Chen said, compared the expressions of those people, and touched his chin, "Did they go east on purpose?" Deliberately making them think it was the Beggar Gang causing trouble? Also, if it was really the order from the beggar gang leader, Lu Ping would have no choice but to endure it in order not to offend anyone. The Beggar Gang is the largest gang in the world, and it would be of no benefit to Lu Ping to quarrel with this gang.

But for these few, someone was secretly obstructing them and just called a few low-level Beggar Clan disciples to cover them up.

Jiang Chen said calmly, "Look for Bai Feng and the others to clean up."

"Hey! Boss, are you going to vent your anger on my behalf?" Lu Ping was surprised.

Jiang Chen's gaze that originally fell on the teacup shifted to him, but he did not respond.

If Bai Feng and the others were here, they would not dare to get angry at this moment. Lu Ping was an optimistic person, and he had become accustomed to such expressions in the past six months. Lu Ping smoothed his sleeves, completely ignored Jiang Chen, and looked very motivated, "Yes, boss! Wait for my good news!" He laughed. He chuckled twice and walked out of the door.

Today, Jian'an seems to be very uneasy. Two craft shops in a row were smashed.

But after that, this family became much worse than the previous one. The former family only had an accident at the door, while the latter family had been smashed to pieces both inside and outside the store.

It seems that this is a grudge between the world and the current Southern Song Dynasty government has long been unable to intervene.

The other party just came here to cause trouble, but Lu Ping abruptly cut off his foundation, smashed the craft shop to pieces, and also disabled the other party's hand tendons.

No one understands better than Lu Ping the importance of a pair of good hands to a craftsman. But who told them to overestimate their capabilities?

Lu Ping can take a fancy to those drawings, and so can others.

Lu Ping smiled coldly. Making small moves while he was away, but failing to destroy his roots by chance, was simply asking for death.

No matter how Ouyang Ke changed his side, Jiang Chen didn't go out of his way to stop it, and what was supposed to happen still happened. For example, Wanyan Honglie kidnapped Ouyang Feng, for example, Yang Kang and Ouyang Feng worked together to give four box lunches to the Jiangnan Six Monsters, and another example was the truth revealed in the Iron Spear Temple.

After all, White Camel Villa is far away from the Central Plains, and it is very inconvenient to convey news. The timing of Jiang Chen's arrival was somewhat missed, and the incident at Yanyu Tower had already passed.

The only difference is that Ouyang Ke did not die because of Jiang Chen's presence, so Yang Kang, who was originally supposed to die in the Iron Spear Temple, is still alive.

As for Wu Mu's suicide note, Wanyan Honglie heard about Jiang Chen's coming to the Central Plains and handed him a letter early.

He and Yang Kang were probably in Yanjing at this time and were preparing for war. Mongolia and Jin have already begun the battle and are at odds with each other.

The mobility of these two people is not as good as that of Ouyang Feng. Jianghu people can go wherever they want without any restraint, but these two people often have to look at their emperor's face. He would come to the Southern Song Dynasty, partly to spy on the military situation, and partly because of Wu Mu's suicide note.

Jiang Chen took the letter in his hand.

Bai Feng asked him, "Young Master, do you really want to go?"

Jiang Chen was silent for a while, then suddenly smiled lightly and said, "Go. How not to go."

But even though he said it, he actually acted nonchalantly. There are very few things in this world that he can be concerned about.

On the third day after he arrived in Jian'an, Huang Yaoshi came in person. He acted a little indifferent and snorted coldly at Jiang Chen, "Brother Ouyang is quite clever and has been hiding for more than half a year." His words of brother Ouyang were also quite sarcastic, not like the martial arts competition on Peach Blossom Island that day. Somewhat sincere. Because when Jiang Chen returned to White Camel Villa, the Quanzhen Seven Sons went to Peach Blossom Island to stir up trouble. Xi Po almost killed Dong Xie, and Mei Chaofeng died for this reason.

Jiang Chen vaguely knew the reason, but he had no intention of fighting with Huang Yaoshi at this time. He said quite humbly, "Island Master Huang is so praiseworthy..."

Just say brother Ouyang and Lord Huang, and you can understand Ouyang Ke's alienated thoughts. Huang Yaoshi looked a little surprised. When he met him before, his father-in-law was extremely hot. Even if Ronger chose Guo Jing, that brat, he kept trying to get in touch with Huang Yaoshi. Today, he knew the name of Island Master Huang.

He seems very humble, but Huang Yaoshi is already a fine person, so of course you can see his inherent lack of humility.

Huang Yaoshi was surprised for a moment, but he did not forget why he came here. "I gave you the general map of Peach Blossom Island half a year ago. I promised that Lin'an Mansion would find it in three months. Unexpectedly, you were leisurely. Not only did you go out Lin'an has been returned to the Western Region, which is really easy to find... Now half a year has passed, and it's time for the general map to be returned to its original owner. "

He held out his hand.

Jiang Chen lowered his eyes slightly, "I am tired of running around Huangdao Island, and I feel uneasy. Returning to the Western Region is a last resort. As for the general map of Peach Blossom Island, I no longer have it with me. I lost the island that day, and the blueprint was left in the ocean. , I can't find it anywhere." Who knew where the original owner had left this thing? After he and Ouyang Feng landed ashore, almost everything on their bodies was missing, and the scroll was no longer anywhere.

Huang Yaoshi immediately became angry, "You actually let the drawings get lost?"

Jiang Chen buttoned the mechanism on the right side of the wheelchair and opened the handle. He took out a roll of drawings and looked down at it, "Although the original one was lost, I drew another roll."

Huang Yaoshi's face darkened, "What did I say that day? You can only remember it in your heart, never copy it. Ouyang boy, do you really think that I always care about the old poison's affection." Yes, Huang Yaoshi's original words to Ouyang Ke were Like this, "...You take this picture and find a hotel or temple to stay in Lin'an Prefecture. After three months, I will send someone to retrieve it. Everything in the picture can only be memorized by heart and cannot be copied or copied."

Now he was a little angry when he thought about it, and immediately struck him with a palm, "He killed my disciple a few days ago, and I killed his nephew today, so I should..."

Only his palm passed.

Ouyang Ke avoided it.

No one knows how he avoided it.

Only the screeching sound of wooden wheels rubbing against the ground was heard, and Jiang Chen was already three feet away.

Huang Yaoshi was slightly startled. Seeing that he was so comfortable and willing to try again, he pointed out his finger.

Jiang Chen frowned and used the black iron folding fan's fan bone to block it, blocking the energy from the almost imperceptible wind sound.

Hitting Xuan Tie's fan bone, there was a crisp sound.

There was blood flowing from the corner of Jiang Chen's mouth. He raised his sleeve to wipe it, and his frown deepened.

Huang Yaoshi's two moves were dodged, so on a whim, he took out his jade flute. Although these two moves were just lessons and not killer moves, it was amazing that he was able to dodge them despite his limited mobility.

Jiang Chen looked at his movements and said slowly, "If I can draw one now, can I use it as proof?"

Although the scroll of the general map was heavy and could not be completely memorized in half a year, Huang Yaoshi still said, "You have been looking at it for a long time, so you can naturally draw it." He snorted, "It doesn't matter, if you can avoid me today. Just one song and I'll spare you." This is considered to be Ouyang Ke's life. Because with Ouyang Ke's own internal strength, he simply couldn't compete with his blue sea tide.

Jiang Chen's eyes grew colder, so he said, "The original owner always brings in these difficult enemies." There are always enemies who don't like to accept explanations. Even the people around the original owner are in a lot of trouble, making people unable to relax.

They left and died, and Jiang Chen had to clean up all the mess.

Huang Yaoshi played the jade flute, mixed with inner energy, but it was completely useless to Ouyang Ke. Even if there are big waves, even if there are flying catkins, they can't disturb him.

Huang Yaoshi was amazed for a moment. Jiang Chen listened to his playing and slowly knocked on the table. His expression was clear and clear, and he did not look like he was mentally deranged.

Huang Yaoshi conveyed the content powerfully through the sound of the flute, and the music was still as breathtaking as ever. But Jiang Chen, apart from anything else, was able to survive to this day with a firm mind and was not someone who could be led around easily. He listened for a while, expressionlessly opened the folding fan, and without hesitation made a scratch on the tea tray on the table.

This is simple and crude.

You must know that people who practice music have good ears. This hair-splitting creaking sound completely destroyed the clear feeling of the flute sound. Huang Yaoshi paused for a while, and when he put down the jade flute, his face turned blue. . Looking at Jiang Chen's expression, he looked in disbelief, "...Boy, are you still a music student?"

Scratching porcelain with an iron fan, the sound...

Huang Yaoshi's face was livid, but he had already put his words ahead. Now that Jiang Chen had blocked the sound of his flute, he couldn't continue to argue with this junior, so he snorted.

Jiang Chen held up the scroll and said, "Now it is returned to its original owner."

Huang Yaoshi said coldly, "...I am not a person who breaks my word, so you can do it yourself." He actually had a good impression of Ouyang Ke, especially in contrast to Guo Jing's wooden head. Now I see this junior facing me, with a murderous expression on his face. Although the method of forcibly interrupting the sound of the flute by scratching the table with an iron fan is a bit unreasonable, Huang Yaoshi is a person who does not follow etiquette. At this time, although I felt like my ears had been damaged, but I also felt a bit appreciative of this man's calmness. Seeing that Ouyang Ke's legs were disabled, and he was more powerful than Ouyang Ke, threatening to kill him, it was obviously a life and death situation, but under such unfavorable conditions, this man could handle it calmly and calmly while sitting in a wheelchair, I felt in my heart As my appreciation gradually grew, I no longer thought about killing him.

He took the scroll and walked out the door.

Jiang Chen's empty hand paused in the air for a while, then rubbed the center of his brow. With his mind groggy, he walked to the sink and rinsed his mouth. The bright red blood fell into the porcelain bowl. The rusty smell in his mouth that could not be dissipated for a while made him feel a little uncomfortable in his stomach.

He picked up the cold water and slapped it on his face, finally clearing up his groggy mind. He looked at the reflection in the basin for a while, then sighed suddenly. He walked out the door and unlocked the acupuncture points of Bai Feng and others.

The two agreed that Lu Ping would be waiting for news from Ouyang Feng, and he would tell Jiang Chen as soon as possible.

Finally set off for Yanjing.

If Yang Kang and Guo Jing fought... probably no one would target Ouyang Feng...

Jiang Chen thought.

Jiang Chen actually had some bad premonitions recently, but he felt that everything was too vague and he couldn't be sure.

Sometimes, the world always gives people the illusion of peace and happiness, but, after all, it will never be completely peaceful and happy.

If it weren't for Jiang Chen, if he hadn't experienced the tragic past, if he had been replaced by another defenseless person, he would have become Ouyang Ke at this time.

What can he do? The final outcome is to follow the original path? Or die in Huang Rong's hands, or die in an assassination attempt from White Camel Villa? Or will he die in the hands of Huang Yaoshi today?

Before Ouyang Ke died, the most important thing in Ouyang Feng's heart was to be number one in the world. Only after he died could Ouyang Feng understand the importance of Ouyang Ke, his only relative. Before this, Ouyang Feng would never protect Ouyang Ke. Even if Ouyang Ke's leg was broken, he would still pursue his Nine Yin Manual.

This is the reason why Ouyang Ke died in the hands of Yang Kang.

However, this is like a paradoxical proposition. No matter whether Ouyang Ke dies or not at that time, he will eventually die.

Jiang Chen had many memories that ordinary people should not have, and he also had the tolerance to experience more pain than ordinary people, so it was rare that he did not die.

How much pain can a person's heart experience, how much betrayal can it tolerate, and how much injustice can it bear?

throughout life.

If you asked Jiang Chen about this, he wouldn't know.

Because he is not dead.

So there's no real end time to calculate these.

From a long time ago, those fragile things have been abandoned by him.

He had to do this, otherwise he could only passively choose death.

This is the same point of view that he and Ouyang Feng hold. Only the strong have the right to survive.

The same is true for Jiang Chen.

No matter where he is, if he is even slightly weaker, he will become a stepping stone for the so-called righteous people in the world who will gather to attack him, the proud ones.

He knew this very well.

But, does he live to be strong, or is he strong to survive?

He has no answer.

No one could give him an answer.

Yanjing.

Meet Wanyan Honglie and Yang Kang.

Jiang Chen just looked at him and had some guesses about his situation.

Yang Kang. As the second protagonist in the world and the one who compares good and evil with Guo Jing, he wears a lake-green satin coat, a green sweat scarf tied around his waist, and a gold crown on his head, which shows his nobility as a young prince. In the eyes of ordinary people, his appearance should be considered handsome, and his eyes are lively, or cunning, which is completely different from the pimple-like Guo Jing he saw before.

This was the first time Jiang Chen really saw Yang Kang.

It was obviously not the same as when Ouyang Ke met him that day.

His domineering, arrogant and conceited temperament has become much restrained.

Jiang Chen thought.

This should be because we have learned that Wanyan Honglie is not the biological father.

Yang Kang couldn't bear to part with his glory and wealth, and he couldn't make a direct decision about family ties and righteousness at this time.

Wanyan Honglie came out from the gate of the palace and saw Jiang Chen sitting in a wheelchair. He didn't even move his brows. He smiled and said politely to Jiang Chen, "Young Master Ouyang came here at the invitation. This mansion is really full of glory..."

Jiang Chen also smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you're welcome." He turned to look at Yang Kang. This young prince of the Jin Kingdom was a little cautious now.

He was a little cautious, but when he saw Jiang Chen sitting in a chair, his face pale and weak, a dark light flashed in his eyes.

Ouyang Feng is not a person of character, but in terms of his martial arts, he is an admirable martial arts master recognized by the world.

Yang Kang also learned martial arts. Therefore, he became a disciple of Ouyang Feng.

Ouyang Feng said that the martial arts at White Camel Villa were passed down from a single line, and he had already passed it on to his nephew Ouyang Ke.

I saw Ouyang Ke again today, but he was nothing more than a cripple with limited mobility. Yang Kang currently needs one thing to stabilize his status as a young prince.

It would be great if he could become the disciple of Xi Jue Ouyang Feng and inherit the White Camel Villa.

When Ouyang Ke was invited by Wanyan Honglie to seize Wu Mu's will, Yang Kang was proud of his status and did not take Ouyang Ke too seriously.

Now that Ouyang Ke has broken his leg and Yang Kang's status is in jeopardy, the two are equally unlucky, so Yang Kang naturally does not have any sudden sympathy for him.

He is thinking about the possibility of Ouyang Ke disappearing.

The difference between an old fox and a young fox is that the young fox cannot perfectly conceal his thoughts.

Jiang Chen looked at him and suddenly opened his mouth and asked a question. When he asked, he was quite calm, without any anger or anger, as if he was just talking about the weather today. He said, "Do you want to kill me?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was frozen and the whole place fell silent.

Yang Kang was hit on the heart, and his face turned pale immediately, fearing that Ouyang Ke would make trouble. His martial arts could not beat Ouyang Ke. Even if Ouyang Ke is now disabled. Yang Kang knew this in his heart.

Wanyan Honglie smiled awkwardly, trying to smooth things over for his son, "Mr. Ouyang, what are you talking about? Kang'er has always respected your uncle Mr. Ouyang, and he also worships your uncle as his teacher. I'm afraid Mr. Ouyang has misunderstood Kang'er."

Jiang Chen did not bother to argue any more. He looked away from Yang Kang and nodded, which was considered to be a revelation of the matter.

As for what he thought in his heart, no one knew.

Wanyan Honglie was relieved. As his father, he knew Yang Kang. The look just now showed that he had the intention to kill Ouyang Ke.

He did not understand Kang'er's thoughts. Ouyang Ke was hired by them with a large sum of money to find Wu Mu's posthumous letter, and Ouyang Feng was Kang'er's teacher. Why did he want to kill Ouyang Ke at this time?
