Chapter 20 The night is sultry

After burying Bai Jingfei, Tang Qingruo went after the woman in purple non-stop, and Zhao Yuan went to Feixian Valley alone. Although it was someone else's name, he had just entered the world, so he knew where Feixian Valley was.

, so I had no choice but to ask and inquire.

I didn't carry much money with me, and I had a lot of expenses along the way. In the end, I had to work wherever I went. With my sweet talk and hard work, I not only successfully arrived at Feixian Town, but also earned some loose money, but this cost

There is more time.

There is a vast lake next to Feixian Town. The lake is surrounded by mountains on three sides. Only the Feixian Town side has flat terrain, and Feixian Valley is in the lake. To go to Feixian Valley, you must go to the lake next to Feixian Town.

Boat.

The evil king Zhuge Tian is famous in the world, but very few people know about his seclusion. The people in the town are very familiar with him. In their eyes, the old man is clean and neatly dressed.

, his hair is also combed meticulously, and you can often see him strolling around the town, playing chess with the old men in the town, or fishing on the lake in a small boat. He is a friendly person and has no airs.

But none of them knew that this old man was the evil king, one of the four most powerful martial arts masters.

It was already evening when Zhao Yuan arrived. After asking, he found out that Feixian Valley was on the side of Feixian Lake. The only way to get there was by boat. Fortunately, there were many fishermen in the town. It was not difficult to hire a boat, so he just went there.

I could wait until the next day, so I stayed overnight in a common man's firewood shed that night.

This town is not as good as the capital, and the only lighting at night is oil lamps. The flickering lights are blown by the wind that comes through the cracks in the windows.

Zhao Yuan simply spread straw on the ground and slept with his clothes on. He suddenly woke up after not sleeping for long. When he opened his eyes, he suddenly found that there was an extra person in the room. It was the woman in purple. At this moment, she was sitting in the woodshed.

The stool is the only place that is relatively clean.

In the middle of the night, there was an extra person in the room. An ordinary person would have been frightened. However, Zhao Yuan had long been accustomed to her elusive appearance. He sat up and said with a smile: "The saint's visit at night makes this Chai very frightened."

Fang Pengpi is so radiant."

The woman in purple turned around and said with a smile: "Thank you! Thank you! I was wondering why I saw someone who looked familiar today. At first I thought he was a waiter or a busboy from that shop, so I came over to take a look. I didn't expect it to be you? You Jin Yiwei?"

He’s really good at pretending.”

Zhao Yuan sighed and said: "What does it mean to be good at disguise? It's because I have no choice! This Jin Yiwei sent me out on business and didn't even pay enough for it. You don't know that along the way I washed dishes, served dishes, worked as a coachman, and did odd jobs.

, I finally made it to Feixian Valley with great difficulty. After everything is over, I still have to continue washing dishes, serving dishes, working as a coachman, and doing odd jobs to go to the Hengshan School. If you hadn’t reminded me, I would have forgotten that I am a Jinyiwei!"

Lu Bing once said that his purpose of going out this time could be revealed, but it could not be said that it was his instructions, so that he could gain the trust of the woman in purple.

The woman in purple giggled and said, "By the way, did you get a promotion after the Huayuan Temple incident last time?"

Zhao Yuan clapped his palms, crossed his feet, patted his chest again, and said happily: "Of course it has been raised. Now I am the dignified Imperial Guard Flag. Thank you very much for this. It's a pity that the wine here is so good, otherwise it would be really difficult."

It would be a pleasure to have a clear understanding with you!"

The woman in purple smiled and said: "Isn't wine simple? Come with me!"

Just like last time, Zhao Yuan arrived at the dock of Feixian Lake in a matter of seconds. The woman in purple left for a while and then turned back. Then she boarded a small boat on the shore, but she was nowhere to be seen.

She moved the oars, and the boat floated away toward the lake.

It was early autumn at this time, the coldness of winter had not yet arrived, the heat of summer had not receded, and the lake breeze was blowing, bringing a slight coolness.

A crescent moon is now hanging in the blue night sky. The moonlight casts onto the lake. Looking around, it is sparkling and beautiful.

At this moment, the woman in purple untied her veil again, threw the wine over, and asked: "Why did you come to Feixian Valley this time?"

Zhao Yuan looked away from her otherworldly beautiful face and said, "Bai Jingfei asked me to send something to Feixian Valley before he died, so I will help him."

Speaking of Bai Jingfei, he couldn't help but think of the scene that day. Zhao Yuan suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, so he picked up the wine jar and took two sips.

The woman in purple thought for a while and said: "So that's the case, no wonder..."

Zhao Yuanqi asked: "Why is it no wonder? By the way, why are you here too?"

The woman in purple said: "I came to see the excitement. I originally planned to go to other places. On the way, I accidentally met someone from the Bai family transporting a coffin, so I asked about it. I actually learned that the coffin was going to be transported to Feixian Valley. I immediately

They got interested and discovered a big secret. The coffin they transported was nominally carrying Bai Jingfei's body, but it was actually full of gunpowder. In addition, they seemed to have hired very powerful helpers, and they planned to do it all in one fell swoop.

Eradicate the evil king!"

Zhao Yuan was stunned for a moment, then he immediately realized what he was saying, "You mean to say that the evil king Zhuge Tian lives in Feixian Valley?"

The woman in purple asked curiously: "You don't know?"

Zhao Yuan shook his head and said: "I really don't know!"

The woman in purple chuckled and said: "This really saves some things. Anyway, you are going to Feixian Valley, why not just tell him that the Bai family plans to plot against him, and that the coffin contains gunpowder. Other than that,

There seems to be a very powerful hidden weapon outside, called Thousand-Hand Guanyin."

Zhao Yuan nodded in agreement, but still said a little strangely: "How can the Bai family provoke the evil king? Isn't this asking for trouble?"

The woman in purple said: "The Bai family is known as the number one family in the martial arts world and is quite famous in the world. However, not long ago, the evil king came to ask for an explanation for Bai Jingfei's death. He beat the Bai family with just a green bamboo and was unable to fight back.

, and at the same time, he even dropped his words. If the Bai family does not give an explanation for Bai Jingfei's death, they will destroy the Bai family. This makes the Bai family lose face. It is probably for this reason that they want to avoid future troubles forever. By the way, that day

Isn’t it right that Bai Jingfei shouldn’t die due to his injuries?”

Zhao Yuan was silent for a moment, and then told the story exactly what happened that day.

Only then did the woman in purple nodded as if she suddenly understood, and said: "So that's it. He stayed in the Bai family in order to repay the kindness of saving his life. Even though he knew that the Bai family was doing some shameful things, he had no regrets and was willing to serve.

, if you know that in the end you will be plotted by others, you will probably be disheartened and have no idea of ​​living anymore."

Zhao Yuan nodded and said: "I only pity him for his loyalty."

Picking up the wine jar, Zhao Yuan poured two more sips into his mouth, but suddenly he felt that the wine was a little spicy. The wine had lost its previous aroma and mellowness, and instead became a little bitter, making it difficult to swallow.

The woman in purple suddenly looked at Zhao Yuan seriously, chuckled and said: "I don't think you look like a royal guard at all, you are just like a scholar, sentimental! There are many intrigues and deceptions in the world, just like the Bai family.

On the surface, they appear to be upright, but in fact, they are doing things like male thieves and female prostitutes. Therefore, when traveling around the world, remember not to trust others easily."

With that, he picked up the wine jar and said: "Come, let's celebrate your promotion to the general banner. But then again, shouldn't your general banner stay in your Beizhen Fusi, why do you have to go all the way to Hengshan?

go?"

Zhao Yuan showed hesitation on his face.

The woman in purple said: "What? Does it have to do with the secrets of your Jin Yiwei?"

Zhao Yuan shook his head and said: "It's not a secret. In fact, it's because you taught me the sword skills so well. I accidentally became a master among the Jinyi Guards!"

The woman in purple clothes said in surprise: "Is this happening because of me?"

Zhao Yuan thought for a while and said: "It happened by coincidence. Just a few days ago, someone was suddenly bold enough to assassinate Lu Bing, the commander of the Jinyiwei. However, he was easily captured. This person's name was Yang Kai, and he was known as

Although Zhui Feng Dao uses a sword, he is a disciple of Hengshan Sect. His master is the senior brother of Yue Linqiu, the current head of Hengshan Sect. He left Hengshan Sect in his early years! It happened that the matter of Huayuan Temple was resolved at that time, and I also fought.

To become famous, in order to thoroughly investigate whether this matter had something to do with the Hengshan Sect, the Northern Town Governor personally ordered me to go to the Hengshan Sect on behalf of Yang Kai, and then find a way to find out the mastermind behind the scenes. So, I, the newly appointed general manager,

Qi suddenly became a mere commander and had to travel all the way to Hengshan to work as a spy."

Ninety percent of what he said was true. The only difference was that the person who gave the order was Lu Bing, and he was the only one who knew where he was going.

The woman in purple looked at Zhao Yuan curiously, and asked strangely: "Then why did you hide on the Bai family's boat?"

Zhao Yuan sighed and said: "Logically speaking, this is an official business, and at least I should be provided with fast horses, etc., but Yang Kai is usually as good as I am now, and he is famous. People in the world call him Wind Chasing Sword."

So domineering, but slovenly. At first glance, I looked like a disciple of the Beggar Clan. So, in order to completely transform me into Yang Kai, I was given a token amount of money, and then I found a way to go to Hengshan by myself. I didn’t do that.

I thought it would be faster to take a boat, so I ran to the dock and saw a boat transporting goods. I happened to meet Bai Jingfei scolding the boat owner because of the lack of manpower, so I volunteered to be a clerk first and worked hard to move.

It took a long time for the owner of this ship to agree to take me to Hangzhou, but then I met you on the way, and you also know what happened next."

The purple-clothed woman suddenly laughed, her smile was a bit wild, and she said: "I'm laughing to death. Others, the general banner of Jinyiwei, have always been popular in the capital, and have many wives and concubines, but your general banner of Jinyiwei is in such a miserable state."

, you still have to work as a porter, man, and you have to please others in order to go where you want to go. For a member of the Imperial Guard to be like you, it is unprecedented and unprecedented!"

Zhao Yuan said sternly: "As the saying goes, I am hiding in the city. I am just pretending. Besides, it is also said in the book. When heaven is about to assign a great responsibility to a person, he must first work hard for his mind and body.

, The skin is hungry, the body is empty! Speaking of which, I am also following the ancient saying! In addition, there is no distinction between high and low professions. What is a porter and a boy? Along the way, I have also worked as a coachman, a dishwasher, and a waiter. Once

Others were short of people to collect night incense, but they had to work for five days before they could get paid. I was in a hurry, so I didn't agree!"

"Pour night fragrance!"

The purple-clothed woman was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes suddenly became like crescent moons. She covered her belly with her delicate hands and said: "No, I'm laughing to death. The general banner of the Jinyiwei is going to pour the night fragrance. The general banner of the Jinyiwei is going to pour the night fragrance. Ha...ha...

…”

Zhao Yuan defended: "I didn't go, I told you, almost!"

The purple-clothed woman weakly waved her hand, raised the jar, and said, "Come on! Do it for you, the Jinyiwei Commander-in-Chief, who almost poured out the night fragrance!"

Zhao Yuan held the wine jar, touched her gently, took a few sips, and glanced at the purple-clothed woman in front of him. Under the moonlight, she looked so peaceful, like a fairy. His heart moved and he moved away.

He looked at the lake at night and praised: "With such a beautiful scenery, I suddenly became inspired by poetry and couldn't help but want to recite a poem."

The woman in purple said: "How come you, the commander-in-chief who pours night fragrance, have become a poet? Then I would like to see if you can write such eternal quatrains as Li Shangyin, 'The moon in the sea has tears, the sun in the blue field is warm, and the jade produces smoke.'"

Come."

Zhao Yuan said disdainfully: "Li Shangyin! Hum hum... listen up!"

"Feixian Lake next to Feixian Town,"

"Feixian Valley beside Feixian Lake."

"There are fairies in Feixian Valley,"

"Purple clothes and fine wine guard the alchemy furnace."
