The morning of the third day of June came very late.

When it was still dark, a gust of wind blew up. When the rooster crowed, only a slight grayish white appeared in the sky. People who woke up early lit the lights and saw light rain on the streets.

After handing Ni Po to Zuo Wenxuan, Ning Ji, who had just returned to the courtyard in the early morning, was meditating on the bed. His mysterious skills had already achieved some success and he was not limited to sleep. When raindrops fell in the courtyard, the boy's eyelids shook slightly, but then he returned to calm, and his breathing and wind and rain gradually became one.

At the southern end of the city, due to the search by officers and soldiers, Chen Shuangran and his group came out of the temporary hiding place and moved to another place. The green forest master in a straw raincoat stood on the eaves and watched the gray rain curtain spread.

Last night, Deng Nian, a water bandit who was responsible for watching the movement of the Fish King, stayed in the dilapidated inn where the Green Forest people gathered. He came to meet in the early morning. It was already too late. It was only in the afternoon that day that he contacted Chen Shuangran and his party again.

Tie Tianying, who had arranged Ni Po well, rushed back along the market in the morning. When the storm came, he looked outside.

"Not a typhoon..."

Under the eaves, the candles swayed. Behind the academy, Li Pin knocked on his knees and sat under the eaves to watch the raindrops in the yard hang down. Crossing the walls, the city further away had begun to have interpersonal relationships.

He was one of the first people in the city to know that it would rain. Because the rheumatism problem started to hurt again last night, he had not slept all night. He was responsible for protecting his safety - in fact, he was also taking care of him personally - Luo Shouwei, acupuncture and massage for him for a while, and said for a long time.

Both of them are not young. Although they are not a couple, they have had skin-related relationships with each other. Many of them are adults. After a dull and long night, it rained, and Li Pin wanted to go under the eaves to watch the rain. Although he was severely rheumatized, he always liked to watch the rain. He claimed that the benevolent people enjoy mountains and the wise people enjoy water.

The emperor showed goodwill to all forces at the banquet on the first day of the lunar calendar. The princess's mansion immediately adopted differentiation methods. While Chen Shuangran and others launched a counterattack, Li Pin also sent a message to Confucian scholars from all sides every day to create momentum. Even if it rained that day, the itinerary for a whole day was already full.

Looking at the drizzle in the early morning, when Luo Shouwei went to the kitchen to supervise the breakfast situation and came back, Li Pin fell asleep quietly under the drizzle eaves.

In the Military Preparation School, under the leadership of Zuo Wenhuai, a group of officers responsible for ideological and political affairs and military law went out in the rain.

In the palace, Emperor Jun Wu had already gotten up, waiting for the beginning of the morning court.

At the time of Si, the imperial guards gathered in the rain on the school ground on the south side of the imperial city. At the same time, some of the officials from the Martial Arts School who had just participated in the morning court began to gather here.

After the rain all morning, the battle between the City Guarding Command and the Green Forest People in the City seemed to have temporarily dropped to a low point, but the solemn atmosphere had become stronger with the Imperial Guard and the movement of the Military Preparation School.

After noon, wearing a shabby straw raincoat, Deng Nian, a water bandit, walked through the streets and alleys where everyone was talking, and finally found a new linker. He was then led to the newly lived courtyard where Chen Shuangran and others. The courtyard was even not far from the imperial city, and you could vaguely feel the tense atmosphere on the imperial city.

After passing through the outer courtyard and entering the inner courtyard where a huge locust tree was planted, he met the manager Chen Yan.

“…Why did you come here?”

"Miss means." Chen Yan whispered, "I originally chose to be at the east end of the city in the morning, but I heard that the imperial guards had moved, so the lady wanted to come and see what happened. Now everyone is still discussing the matter, you have to wait a while - I have been waiting for you in the morning."

"Miss kills and decisively."

The rain was still falling, and along the eaves of the walkway, the leaves of trees fell to the ground. In response to the actions of the imperial guards, what was being discussed in the courtyard building must be a real big thing. Deng Nian and Chen Yan were downstairs. Thinking of the rumors they heard in the morning, Deng Nian said, "It is said that the imperial guards may be locked down."

"It's not enough." Chen Yan shook his head, "The emperor married and formed an alliance, and asked for good looks from the outside. He was so angry that he closed the city and killed him. This time he was a show of taking concubines. People would think he was embarrassed."

"On the way here, I heard that several of the men with cases were running out of the city."

"The more chaotic the better." Chen Yan showed a smile and no smile, "By the way, I heard about what happened last night. After the lady left, what happened to the Fish King?"

"this……"

"In the early morning of this day, he was looking for people to send news everywhere and wanted to meet us. It seemed that he was having trouble. When I reported to the lady, the lady was also curious about the progress she had left last night. Is the government taking ruthless measures..."

"...I've messed with that evil star..."

Thinking of what happened last night, Deng Nian sighed and spoke in a low voice, but before he finished speaking, there was already a movement of pushing the door upstairs. Some people came down from above, thinking that the countermeasures had been discussed for the actions of the imperial guards. Chen Yan went upstairs to report, and after a while, he also called Deng Nian to pass.

The room upstairs was not big. One side of the window faced the side of the imperial city, Chen Shuangran stood in front of the rain curtain. Fang Xie said that in addition to the "Mr." who was acting with them yesterday, there were three companions in the room. Deng Nian Nian became Chen Shuangran's coachman and an old man in the circle. Seeing him coming up, the "Mr." sitting next to him nodded to him: "I changed two places, and I almost didn't want you to find it."

Deng Nian bowed his hand to salute.

After waiting for a while, Chen Shuangran turned around from the window: "Uncle Nian... just sit there casually... Nothing happened on the way back?"

"Miss Lao is concerned, I'm fine. But the city is messy, and some old friends are running out, afraid that the court will go crazy and want to overturn the table."

"It can't be lifted up." Chen Shuang laughed, "The imperial court launched an imperial guard and knocked the mountain and shook the tiger. It was just to let the guilty Green Forest people start to get in trouble first and then seize the opportunity... On the contrary, we, with the guidance of Mr. Jin, were prepared for it. The emperor wanted to send troops again, but he wanted to not disturb the people's livelihood. He was just naive."

Chen Shuangran said, bowing to the middle-aged "Mr." beside him.

He paused for a moment and said, "As a result, what happened last night has become... Uncle Nian, what happened there after we left?"

"Yes." Deng Nian bowed his hand and looked around the people, then talked about the development of the situation in Yinqiaofang last night. When it came to the boy who left, he came back and went straight to the killing of the Yuwang Shop. Mr. Jin smiled and Chen Shuangran frowned slightly, with a serious look.

“…Is it really a move?”

"Yes, the Fish King and his disciples were beaten very hard, but what I heard most clearly outside is that the Fish King kept shouting: 'Don't fight, don't fight'. Or because of this, there was no murder."

"It seems that this fish king is really an old man." The middle-aged man, who is called Mr. Jin, smiled. "Ni Po's skills are so good that he was killed in one encounter. In just two or three moves, this young man can come back to his shop. If he really fights, it will probably be a family extermination case. Moreover, the young man has high martial arts skills and is really good at this age, so he will not have any scruples to start."

Young people are cruel and ruthless, have no moral constraints, and do not talk much about the rules of the world. For the old people, they understand all these things.

"No wonder, since last night, the Fish King has been sending news to me." Chen Shuangran nodded, "Old thing... if it was just a government threat, it wouldn't be so panicked."

"It must be that Ni Po suddenly came to the door. The boy was alert and wanted to follow the clues." Mr. Jin said, "It is a good habit to walk in the rivers and lakes. The biggest problem now is what these two people are from."

When he said this, Chen Yan stood up.

"Two days ago, I asked people everywhere and inquire. To be honest, during the Jiangning Conference, people gathered and the news was complicated. We were not here at that time. Now we have to trace it back. Many of the statements we got were fake." He paused: "It can be confirmed now that these two lewd demons, four feet and five feet, were famous on the reward list of Jiangning at that time, but the statements were different. Some even drew pictures, but they were not similar. The more unified statement is that Siqi was a bald monk at the time. Now he probably had hair. The girl and the young man he saw last night were quite handsome, and there was no difference."

"Hmph." Chen Shuangran sneered coldly and his eyes flashed.

"At the time in Jiangning, the attention of the big guys was always on the direction of the five kings and the conference. The most famous rumors about these two lust demons were to make enemies with Shi Baofeng. There are many statements in between, but generally speaking, the five-foot lust demon robbed Shi Weiyang's wife, the son of Shi Baofeng. Shi Weiyang refused to stop, and was then chased by the five-foot lust demon in the street. After killing dozens of Green Forest masters, Shi Weiyang also cut off one arm before he stopped..."

"...The identities of these masters include Xiang Dasong, Qian Zhuoying, "Baishan Palm", Xu Batian, "Bit Demon", Fan Hen, "Bai Shura" He Qinzhao, and "Fifteen Strings" Yu Ci..."

Among the few people, Chen Yan, Deng Nian and others were all Fujian water bandits, and they were severely isolated from the outside world. Chen Yan held the paper and read out the names of the first people, with a normal expression. "Mr. Jin" and the other person in the room kept frowning when they heard it.

After a while, the man said, "Nothing is true. Xu Batian, 'Niu Mo' Xu Batian, 'Dragon Sword' Xiang Dasong and other people are all long-standing heroes. I can't say that I will win if I fight alone. Yu Ci is even more respectable and has amazing art... In recent years, the world of the world may have been chasing them, but they were chased by a young man in the street and killed more than ten people at once? I'm afraid that Lin Zongwu, the leader of Lin, could not do it... Nothing is true! Nothing is true!"

This person was also invited by the outside world, and his force and vision were trustworthy. After listening to this person's statement, Chen Shuangran roughly understood the value of the list on the paper in Chen Yan's hand.

Recalling what she saw last night, the search by the "Four-foot Demon" after killing Ni Po in the dark made her feel scared and almost lost her composure. As for the "Five-foot Demon", it was the young man who had never taken action in front of the grocery stall and had not taken Ni Po seriously from beginning to end. This person is young and of course it is impossible for him to compare with the world's number one leader Lin Zongwulin, who is the best in the world, but what would he look like if he had tried his best?

For a woman, she chased and killed the young master of King Shi Baofeng on the long street, killed more than ten masters in succession, and also killed one of Shi Weiyang's arm?

I imagined it in my mind, but said, "I also saw this five-foot demon yesterday. I was only seventeen or eighteen years old. Back to last year, I was still younger. Even though I had a family background, I couldn't do such a thing. Uncle Yan, is this a fake news?"

Chen Yan nodded: "Yes, I was quite suspicious of this kind of rumors at first. Later, I verified it from multiple sources that the story was probably just a story. Shi Baofeng took advantage of his son's broken hand and turned around to get angry with the King of Justice. He even said that King of Justice colluded with the Southwest to deal with him and his son. In other words, if this statement is true, the person who pursued his son would probably become the black flag in the Southwest again."

Someone nodded on the side: "If the black flag takes action, it will not be surprising to kill more than ten people."

"But there are also questions at this time." Chen Yan smiled, "Actually, when the lady gave me instructions, I thought of something. Among us, the one who was closest to King Equality in Jiangning happened to be one of them. Guess who it is?"

Mr. Jin nodded: "...Ni Po?"

"That's right." Chen Yan bowed, "Ni Po is a martial arts fanatic, but when he was in Jiangning, he went to the battle and walked the line of King Equality. But at the beginning, he thought that the ring of the Fifth Party was a big project, but later King Equality overturned the table and didn't want to have a good talk. All parties in the city lost much interest in the ring. Ni Po had also heard of the names of Xiang Dasong and others in the "Dragon Sword" and others. When I asked about it the night before, he said that these people had art and did not want to make progress, but only went to Shi Baofeng and Shi Weiyang to be "jesters". He looked down on him. Of course, at that time, the names of "Dragon Sword" and others were much greater than that of him. I think I probably looked down on him."

Someone in the room laughed: "Ni Po is indeed of this kind of personality. In fact, if nothing happens, there will be success in the future."

"Yes... So I also asked him in detail about the two demons, and the assassination of Shi Weiyang. Ni Po said that there seemed to be various statements at that time, but he did not believe the statements of those big names. At that time, the situation in the city was chaotic, and the son of the Shi family led a large group of people to cause trouble everywhere, how could he whisper? He felt that something would go wrong sooner or later. Later, the King of Pingyi took advantage of Shi Weiyang's affairs and became angry with the King of Pingyi. The point was to get angry, saying that King of Pingyi wanted to find an opportunity to make King of Pingyi express his opinion, saying that King of Pingyi has nothing to do with the Southwest, and the study club... This is a matter of hard work and going with the flow. In the expectation, King of Pingyi only had to express this attitude, and the rest of the people began to talk about cooperation with King of Pingyi. Who knew that it was this threat, and the result was very bad..."

Chen Yan said this and smiled bitterly: "No one expected that King Fairy was unwilling to separate himself from the reading club at all, and even forced the other four to accept the idea of ​​the reading club. Everyone suddenly realized that the King Fairy was not from the Jiangning Conference for the sake of the alliance... It was also after this incident that the happy event turned into a bad thing, and the people from all sides were floating in their minds. After that, everyone had no time to take care of the originally festive martial arts competition and made arrangements for the subsequent division and fighting."

Mr. Jin also smiled and reached out to pat his hand on his knees: "It is also because of this that Wu Chi Ni Po lost his attention, so he should have a deep impression of this matter."

"Yes, so when he talks about this, he says that all the rumors are fake. Big people are just going to get angry. As for people like Shi Weiyang, he brings a group of masters, and makes trouble, and is beaten by anyone, having sex with lust demons, getting involved in people from the southwest, or being humiliated by several other kings. Is it important? The King of Equality takes the opportunity to attack... As for the two lust demons, if they really make a name for themselves, he naturally knows that since he doesn't have a deep impression, it is obvious that the other party's skills can't reach the level of Lin Zongwu..."

"He was still careless after all... The two lustful demons, even though they were not big figures of Lin Zongwu's level, their martial arts were far higher than his..."

When everyone talked about this, the room was slightly quiet for a moment. From the traceback of the devil, connecting the most important events in Jiangning last year, everyone's hearts were ups and downs and had their own imaginations.

After a while, Mr. Jin said: "Ni Po became a fool in martial arts and did not know much about secular things, but he could take it lightly, which means that at least the impression these two people gave him was not a righteous figure with a big background. But now in the Fuzhou situation, we cannot take too much risk. In more cases, we can take a look and make plans. But Dandrup is also trying to win these two people, just because they are afraid that they will take the lead."

Chen Shuangran sat in front of the window, smiling and thinking for a while: "From the temperament of these two people, what can I get from Pu's name... I want to think about it carefully, and I don't have to worry... Uncle Yan, you have to check it more if you have time."

"yes."

"As for the fish king..." she paused, "You tell him, I will consider... seeing him as soon as possible."

"yes."

The raindrops fell outside the window, covering the busy city in the gray and wet tones. Chen Shuangran sat at the table, holding one hand at his mouth, his eyes flashing, and outlining the curve of the whole thing in his mind. After a moment, he stood up.

"The time is almost the same. The things that have been arranged are about to start moving. Mr. Jin, Uncle Yan, let's prepare and go and have a look... And Uncle Nian, please drive, let's go together."

Everyone nodded, bowed, and stood up to leave. After Deng Nian turned his promise, he looked at Chen Yan in confusion, and then attached himself to his ear and said a few words to him.

At this time, the imperial court had completed the arrangements and mobilization of the imperial guards. They came out of the schoolyard and followed the main road of the city toward the surrounding city gates.

In the tea room near the academy, Li Pin endured the pain on his body and was inviting a banquet for the great scholar in the drizzle. He talked about the progress and arrangements of the incident in recent days, hoping that everyone could see the emperor's efforts and efforts, but the quarrel began soon.

In the small courtyard in Huaiyunfang, Ning Ji and Qu Longjun finished their lunch. The two sat on the small terrace near the river behind. Looking at the raindrops all over the sky and the situation advancing in the city, Ning Ji talked about the festival between the Chinese army and Tie Tianying and others. It was already a deep hatred that had been formed more than ten years ago.

On the other end of the city, due to a message received, Yue Yun left his residence. He wore a straw raincoat and walked through the rain curtain, like a young tiger. At this moment, he didn't know that the heavy malice had surrounded him...
