thousand words

The sky was dim, and the awning boat was like a sharp knife cutting through the river blocked by thick fog, and slowly sailed towards the small ferry of Lingdu on the other side of Yishui River.

The black-covered boat goes north to south, facing the howling north wind in winter. The man in charge of the boat is quite old, and the time has carved traces of years of sharpening on his resolute face, but his eyes looking into the distance are like falcons, It seems to be able to penetrate the misty clouds and fog in this treacherous world and reach people's hearts directly.

He is the bodyguard recruited by Lou Yunjuan himself into the Shuihan Tower. He is honored as the third black uncle. Any important matter is often settled by him.In particular, Lou Yunjuan has been away from home to take care of his younger brother for the past two years, and he has faintly become the direct person in charge of the sub-building.

Such an identity would not show up unless it was important, but today Lou Yunjuan unexpectedly asked him to pick up someone, and he had to go in person.He didn't know who to pick up, but his long-soaked personality prevented him from asking too much, so he agreed.

About half an hour later, he raised his eyes and saw a person vaguely at the small ferry that was shrouded in mist.The man stood facing the wind in a black robe, and he waited for an unknown how long, motionless like an eternal stone sculpture, until he saw the approaching ship from the side, and then slightly moved his body and turned to the direction of the ship.

Before dawn, there was nothing else on the pier except the man in black standing facing the wind. Uncle Hei made a gesture to the man at a distance of tens of meters. After a while, the man raised his hand to face He took a volley, immediately confirmed his identity, and rowed towards the small ferry.When he was about ten meters away from the pier, a gust of north wind suddenly hit, and Uncle Hei couldn't help but close his eyes. When he opened his eyes, the man in black standing on the pier disappeared. The board of the ship sank slightly, and when I turned my head, I only had time to see a black shadow enter the cabin.

Third Uncle Hei couldn't help being secretly startled, although he started martial arts late, his martial arts are not bad, although he is not able to match Lou Yunjuan's youth, talent and talent, but he can still do a few tricks in front of him.But just now this person, he knew at a glance that he was definitely not an opponent!

Who is this man in black?

Uncle Hei thought for a while, but did not come to a conclusion.Without seeing his face and figure clearly, or even his age, it is impossible to guess.Forget it, just sending people across the river, thinking so much about what to do... Uncle Hei laughed at himself and said with a self-deprecating smile that the older he is, the more useless he is. He understood the truth early on.

The black-covered boat turned around and headed towards the direction it came from without docking, but he didn't smile when the cabin suddenly opened, revealing a pale face behind the half-closed cabin door.

Although the face was a little haggard, it still couldn't conceal the man's tough and handsome appearance. Under the sword eyebrows, a pair of black eyes were deep and bright, and there were two clusters of blue and black eyes after staying up all night. I will sink into those eyes and cannot extricate myself.

"Is there any wine?" said the man.

Uncle Hei was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "There is some food on the table under the chairs and stools in the cabin, you can just eat."

"Thank you!"

After saying that, the man withdrew and closed the cabin door. Uncle Hei turned his head and propped up the oars to look at the endless river, his heart suddenly beat twice.

The moment he saw that person's appearance clearly, he finally knew who this person was.Hei Lao San shook his head and blamed himself for being too slow. Who else could make Lou Yunjuan attach so much importance to him, and whose martial arts were clearly superior to Lou Yunjuan?

It seems that the world is really about to change dynasties!

Thanks to the secret address of Qianji Pavilion and the long-term secrecy measures, after Qian Yuhan's accident seven years ago, even the members of the Martial Arts Alliance turned Li Zhou upside down, but they didn't find Qianji Pavilion clues.In this way, all the arrangements of the Qianji Pavilion are as light as the plants and trees in the pavilion, and as heavy as the black and white of the Qianji Pavilion, so that hundreds of people survived the disaster seven years ago, and continued to develop their forces in secret until Qian Yuhan returned from blood, and Qianji Pavilion wiped out the rescue team of Qijue Villa outside Liaoyi City, and captured the young village owner Baili Mingqi. Qianji Pavilion can be regarded as the true reappearance of the Jianghu.

As early as after the cleansing of the Qinglian Gang, Qian Yuhan had secretly arranged, on the one hand, to closely monitor every move of the Qijue Villa and the Wulin League, and on the other hand, to inquire about Bailichen's location in detail.After Baili Mingqi revealed that Bailichen was in the Tianchi Lake on Wushan Dome, he immediately sent Qian Shishi to infiltrate.

But just four days ago, that is, the day after Qian Yuhan and Baili Mingyan returned to find Lin Mu, he received a secret report from the pavilion, informing him that Qian Shishi seemed to have been exposed.

"The left envoy is very good at disguising, and his skill in carrying incense is even more proficient. It is impossible to be exposed so easily..."

In the attic on the top floor of Qianji Pavilion, four masked people sit on both sides. The person sitting on the upper seat is wearing a white mask, with a pair of crescent moon eyes shining sharply, and the red lines drawn on the right side of the mask are like a The half of Firefox's face is obviously the master of Qianji Pavilion, Qian Yuhan.

He propped his cheek with one hand and played with the luminous cup on the table with the other, slightly raised his chin to signal the Hei Shizhu who had just spoken to continue.

Qianji Pavilion is divided into black and white envoys. All the white envoys in white robes and white faces are responsible for collecting various intelligence information in the pavilion, and selling all kinds of secrets of the world, which is the main source of income for Qianji Pavilion; while all the black envoys in black robes and black faces are As the sword of Qianji Pavilion, it is responsible for killing for various reasons.Originally, the white envoys of Qianji Pavilion had an absolute advantage, but these years, in order to hoard the power to counter Qijue Villa and even the martial arts alliance, the number of black envoys has increased year by year. Covered with a little blood.

In addition, the left and right envoys of Qianji Pavilion are the personal secret envoys of the pavilion master, who are in charge of all affairs in the cabinet. Over the years, the left envoys have always been shallow poems, and the right envoys have been vacant until Qianli appeared to fill this position.

The black envoy continued: "After the left envoy sneaked into Wushan, he sent a message five days ago saying that the infiltration was successful. How could something happen in the early morning of the next day? Could it be that the news was wrong..."

"Absolutely impossible!" the Bai envoy on the opposite side resolutely said: "Because it is very dangerous to go here, I personally made an agreement with the left envoy to send two signals a day and night to indicate safety, and exchange news every three days. But five days ago That time she only sent a message from Hei Xiao, but she didn't send a signal in the following day and night, it is very likely that the left envoy has been exposed, and Hei Xiao was sent by the old thief."

The black envoy seems to distrust the white envoy very much, with an attitude of breaking the casserole and asking the end: "How to send the signal?"

The white envoy knew what the black envoy was suspicious of, and said, "It's a kind of incense. Once it is lit, it will emit a strange fragrance. When the smelling dog smells it, it will bark. The smelling dog is arranged on the mountainside of Wushan. It was discovered by the people of the Huo family that the agreed incense burning time was Yin time and Hai time, and there were few people walking around at this time, and this incense person smelled the same as ordinary incense, and he definitely would not be exposed by burning incense."

After hearing this, Hei made the master no longer have any objections, and everyone turned their heads to look at the person sitting on the master.

Qianmianhu lowered his head, because the mask couldn't see his expression and couldn't guess what he was thinking, Shaoqing suddenly turned to ask: "How is the situation in Liaoyi?"

The envoy Bai said: "Since the Qinglian Gang was destroyed, except for the people from Qijue Villa who were looking for the traces of their young master, Bailichen and other sects of the Martial Arts Alliance have remained silent for the time being, it's just..."

Bai Shizhu was rarely hesitant to speak, and the thousand-faced fox slightly raised his head and said, "Just what?"

Bai Shizhu said: "It's just that there is a rather strange phenomenon..."

"Let's hear it." The person next to him who was also wearing a white mask and a white robe, with the hood pressed down very low suddenly asked.

The white envoy came to the main pavilion alone, and the white-robed man had been sitting in the attic from the beginning. He didn't know who he was, but when he was puzzled, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the red three-way pattern on the forehead of the white-robed man's hood, and immediately froze.This person is actually the legendary right envoy.

"But it's okay to say." Seeing that the master Bai didn't answer for a long time, and Qian Yuhan who was sitting on the master was also a little puzzled, so he urged.

Bai Shizhu suddenly came back to his senses, calmed down and continued: "The people in the Qishang Building seem to be asking about our affairs everywhere, although they are doing it very secretly but they are still exposed, they seem to want to know the real location of Qianji Pavilion. "

As soon as the words fell, Zuo Shi and another man in white wearing a mask on the opposite side looked at Qian Yuhan who was sitting on the master's seat. Even though he was wearing a mask, the master Bai Shi could feel the strange atmosphere suddenly born in the air.So he coughed twice and continued: "In fact, it's not surprising to inquire about us, but there are still a group of people who are secretly inquiring about Qishang Tower, and I don't know what they want..."

Before the words were finished, the strange atmosphere in the air suddenly cooled down to an indescribably oppressive coldness. Bai Shizhu suddenly stopped, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that the fox sitting on the thousand-faced fox suddenly sat up straight.The white envoy turned his head to look at the black envoy opposite, only to see that the black envoy seemed to be even more confused, so even wearing a mask, he seemed to be able to see his puzzled face under the mask.

"Pavilion Master...Pavilion Master?" After a long silence, Bai Shizhu couldn't help but reminded him tentatively.

Qianmianhu moved his body, and immediately told Master Bai: "Continue to keep an eye on Liaoyi's movements, no matter where or whoever is inquiring about Qishang Tower, report to me as soon as they find out; tell the people in Wushan to keep an eye on the Dome of the Heavenly Palace at all times." surveillance."

After finishing speaking, he turned to the black envoy and said, "Take care of Baili Mingqi, take good care of him, and save his life for his own use; moreover, arrange a group of people to meet up at Qiliting after an hour, and follow me to Wushan."

White envoy, black envoy: "Yes!"

After the two envoys left, Qianli, who was tightly wrapped, finally couldn't help tearing off the white robe mask on his body, and took a deep breath: "It's suffocating me! Why do you keep wearing it? Mask, now everyone in the world doesn't know that you are the master of Qianji Pavilion, Qianmianhu..."

Before Qian Yuhan could speak, Che Feiji on the opposite side raised his hand to take off his mask and said, "But even if you know that most people have never seen your brother's real face, you are wearing a mask as a thousand-faced fox, so taking off the mask and changing your name is still okay. Huajie and Liushi are bluffing and deceiving."

Qianli was persuaded in an instant, showing a 'so reasonable' expression.Che Feiji continued: "What's more, the person wearing that mask is a thousand-faced fox. Your senior brother wants to retire and return to his hometown someday. If you wear this mask, wouldn't you be a thousand-faced fox?"

He was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting this, and immediately waved his hands again and again and said: "No, no, brother is still young and strong, how can it be my turn..."

Before he finished speaking, he looked up and saw the Lord sitting on Qian Yuhan, who had already taken off his mask and was looking at him with a smile on his face. Qianli's voice froze as if he had swallowed a hard-boiled egg, and he showed an unbelievable expression: "No, senior brother... ..."

"That's all for later..." Qian Yuhan slowly got up and walked to the window, and pushed it open.In an instant, the cold wind poured in, carrying the broken dead leaves into the house. Facing the cold wind, he slowly frowned and murmured in confusion: "Who is investigating Qishang Tower?"

Qianli immediately regained his composure, frowned and said: "Since Bai Shi didn't say who it is, it means that this group of people is hiding very deep, and it shouldn't be Qijue Villa. Besides, Bailichen has been sending people to closely monitor since the establishment of Qishang Tower. It can be said that he knows everything about Qishang Tower like the back of his hand, so why bother to inquire about it so furtively."

Che Feiji nodded: "That makes sense. If it's not a Baili old thief, who else could it be? What's their purpose in inquiring about Qishang Building at this juncture?"

After a long time, Qian Yuhan closed the window again, turned around and walked over and said, "This time Ming Yan and I went out to investigate the affairs of Yanshan Lin's family back then, and finally let me grasp some key points."

Che Feiji's heart tightened, and he faintly sensed that what Qian Yuhan was going to say next had something to do with the successive disasters that happened to the five famous families 17 years ago.

Sure enough, Qian Yuhan continued: "If I'm not wrong in guessing, the events of the five famous families back then are probably related to Bailichen."

Che Feiji immediately retorted: "But Bailichen was only in his 20s at that time, and he wasn't even the young master of Qijue Villa. How could he have the ability to wipe out the Yanshan Lin family, one of the five famous families, overnight?"

"This is the key point I'm going to say." Qian Yuhan's eyes froze, and he said seriously: "I suspect that Bailichen has an ally hiding in the dark, and this person's status in the world cannot be underestimated. It is above the deputy sect master of the famous sect of the martial arts family, and Qiang is one of the five masters of the famous sect!"
