?"

"Oh? Fellow Taoist also knows about this?" Cui Yishan looked back and smiled to himself, "That's right. How can this matter in the mountains be hidden from Tan Tang's ears and eyes?"

Lin Xiao smiled, but did not answer the question. With a slight thought in his mind, he deliberately said: "It's not that I won't help my fellow Taoist, but that Tiqi is not the only one who dies on this Qianshan Road. This is an important matter...

…”

"Not just one thing?" Cui Yishan repeated, looking at Lin Xiao on the horse but saying nothing.

Lin Xiao didn't say anything clearly, but just nodded and said: "That's it, otherwise I, the leader of Qianshan, would not be able to show my face and come to Zhaoning."

As he spoke, he glanced at Cui Yishan. "Didn't you, fellow Taoist, also doubt my identity during the dinner?"

Cui Yishan seemed to have been stabbed in a sore spot, and laughed. "I have been walking in Xia Yunzhong Temple for many years, and have I ever seen the Master of the Five Paths without an iron mask? If my fellow Taoist hadn't shown his hand, I still wouldn't believe it."

"Oh? Why is this?" Lin Xiao asked.

Cui Yishan snorted softly. "That's not simple. It's impossible for Taoist friends with such skills to appear out of thin air without any name. Those who can do this can only be from the Tantang sect."

When Lin Xiao heard this, he secretly exclaimed that he was lucky, thanks to this skin. Otherwise, as an overseas visitor, he might not be able to escape the eyes of the Guyouxian Sect.

I heard Cui Yishan continue: "But I am even more puzzled. Since you have Tan Tang's support and your Taoist friend's cultivation, why do you still want to lift the iron mask?"

Lin Xiao pretended to be serious and said: "But it's simple. If I lift it, I'm afraid I won't be able to suppress it, let alone if I don't lift it?"

Cui Yishan suddenly looked at Lin Xiao and said: "What does fellow Taoist mean, is it..."

Lin Xiao shook his head directly. "I don't mean anything."

Cui Yishan pondered for a moment. "Then what Taoist friend thinks..."

Lin Xiao smiled and said: "If you have nothing else to do, fellow Taoist, why not stay in Zhaoning City for a few more days."

Cui Yishan nodded. "Then we will stay for a few more days." He paused and then said: "No wonder the results of the sword debate in the arsenal have been produced, and all forces have gathered in the city, but Taoist friends, the five proposed masters, are still sitting in a nest.

No shit in Zhaoning City."

Lin Xiao knew that the "Zhongdu" mentioned by the other party was because he was worried about the capital city, but he had no idea what the "Arsenal Sword Discussing" was about, so he said along the way: "Oh? Has the result been obtained yet?"

"We went out yesterday. Fellow Taoist is in Tantang, don't you know?" Cui Yishan seemed quite confused.

Lin Xiao immediately smiled bitterly. "I also want to know, but in Zhaoning City, two secret guards have been killed under Tantang Gate. Now the news is almost cut off. I just arrived today and have no time to care about anything else. Where can I go from here?"

Do you know?"

"Two secret guards?" Cui Yishan changed his color after hearing this, thinking that the other party dared to kill even Tan Tang's secret guards, and thinking of what Lin Xiao said before, he immediately believed it a little more.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

Lin Xiao nodded. This was not a lie, but he learned from Zhuo Qinghe that according to the regulations of Zhaoning City, there should be three secret guards from the Embroidery Department here, working together.

But after waiting for a day, only one came. The remaining two were either killed or incited to rebel. There was no other possibility.

Cui Yishan sighed softly, but was unable to help. After all, the two sides had different subordinates. If they were mixed together, it would inevitably violate taboos.

What's more, Tantang is, to put it bluntly, the emperor's personal guard, and Yunzhong Temple can't get involved in all these things.

So he could only pick up some things he could say and said: "The results of the sword debate in the arsenal have indeed come out. The two winners in the end are Qu Youyou who is the one who asked the sword without reply, and Zhong Xian who is the white jade hand. They will be determined next

On the 22nd of the month, it’s a showdown.”

Lin Xiao bowed slightly and said thank you.

The two chatted while walking, but the speed was not slow. It didn't take long before they pulled the reins on the central street of Zhaoning City.

"Down to the east."

"But I went south."

The two looked at each other and smiled, then Cui Yishan looked at Lin Xiao and said: "Although Taoist friend's name is fake, I want to ask, can I trust Taoist friend?"

Lin Xiao shook his head. "You don't need to believe in me, you just need to believe that Tan Tang is loyal to the emperor."

Then he added, "I wonder if I can trust fellow Taoists?"

Before Cui Yishan could answer, Lin Xiao thought to himself and said: "Forget it, I can believe it. As the saying goes, those who look like a rough man are either extremely good or extremely evil. Let's put Taoist friends in the former."

When Cui Yishan heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter. After he stopped laughing, he clasped his fists and said, "Fellow Taoist, take care. If you need help, just invite me to Yuelou in the south of the city to find me."

Lin Xiao nodded in return. "Thank you very much."

The two said goodbye and went their separate ways. Lin Xiao walked slowly along East Street towards Fanlou. The sound of horse hooves undulating on the stone road was clear and sweet, but his mind was elsewhere.

The reason why Lin Xiao secretly revealed some information to Cui Yishan was because he had no choice but to do so.

After all, there is only one person at hand. If you want to inform Tantang Yusi of the situation, you don’t even know how to contact him.

Where are you looking for Zhuo Qinghe? Maybe the letter will be intercepted as soon as it is sent out.

Under such a situation, if anything happens, it's better to have someone to help support me. Otherwise, I will be alone under the eyes of Prince Qing's Mansion, and it will be a bit uncertain.

Lin Xiao was thinking when he suddenly saw "Carrot" looking at him with its big black eyes from time to time, and his forehead jumped wildly.

"Brother Ma, your eyes are a bit mean..."

As soon as "Carrot" snorted and the bridle jingled, the meaning was obvious - I'll see how long you can keep pretending.

Lin Xiao was about to speak when he saw this, but found that the pedestrians around him were walking in a hurry, and they were all avoiding the shops on the street. There were even a few shops that closed their doors and windows with a bang.

At the same time, "Carrot"'s pace also stopped, and his front hooves that kept clicking seemed a little angry.

Looking up, Lin Xiao's eyes narrowed.

A few dozen feet away, in the dim light, a monk in a wide robe and long sleeves stood silently. Obviously, the eyes hidden in the shadows were looking at him.

Turning back, the exact same figure appeared again in the direction from which it came, more than ten feet away.

Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment. "Movement skills? Escape skills?"

Looking back again, the figure in front disappeared, and there was no trace behind. There was a "bang" of real energy explosion, and more than ten lanterns on both sides of the street exploded at the same time!

As soon as the long street was dark, the sound of two kicks on the eaves and beams came from the sky. Lin Xiao patted the saddle bridge and flew up. Wherever the cold light fell, it went up and down!

Lin Xiao frowned.

"Two people?!"
