Qing Ping Le · Double Songs

As night fell, Jing Yu drove the carriage back to the city, Rong Cheng's sitting body swayed with the bumps of the carriage, and Chun Mian rested his chin in his hands next to her listlessly.

"Young Master, have you seen it? Cheng Hao left in such a hurry today, it seems that something important has happened, Young Master, do you think so?" Rong Cheng nodded lightly. Said, "I saw Bai Qingtong showing her eyes today, she looks pretty, and I am more and more curious about her face."

Rong Cheng smiled and said, "You can praise people too."

"Hmph, what's the use of being beautiful in martial arts? It's still bad."

Rong Cheng was surprised, "She is Bai Luoying's direct disciple, and also the flower god of Baihua Palace. She should have extraordinary cultivation, why can't even you beat her?"

"Young Master." Chun Mian exclaimed in dissatisfaction, "My martial arts cultivation can be regarded as one of the best in the Jianghu. Why is it that you look down on me so much?"

Seeing her puffy face, Rong Cheng scratched her nose and laughed, "I know Chun Mian's martial arts are amazing, but I didn't expect Bai Qingtong's martial arts to be inferior to yours. I just overestimated her."

"Although Bai Qingtong's aptitude is not good enough, but her master Bai Luoying is absolutely extraordinary, and Changyue in her hand is also a rare magical weapon, no worse than Liuguang in Princess Qingping's hand." Chun Mian changed to resting her chin with one hand The envy could not be concealed in the eyes, but the disappointment was revealed in the tone, "Feng Xingtian, the sword master of Zhanxing, Liu Guang in the hands of Princess Qingping, Chi Lingbow in the hands of Ye Jingyu in white, and Changyue, the master of Baihua Palace. They are all high-grade magic weapons that have gone through a hundred years, if only I could have such an extraordinary weapon."

"How about I give you a handy weapon on your 15th birthday?"

"Your Master is telling the truth?" Chun Mian was overjoyed when she saw Rong Cheng nodding her head, her round face was smiling until she lost her eyes, "Young Master, you must make a deal with your word, and you are not allowed to play tricks."

Rong Cheng tapped her on the head with his fingers, "Of course I won't lie to you."

Yongzhou City was much more lively than usual because of the martial arts conference, the long street was brightly lit and people were still coming and going at night, it was difficult for the carriage to walk, Rong Cheng simply got out of the car and walked slowly on the street with Chun Mian.After all, Chun Mian is a child with a lively temper, watching the previous disappointment and being thrown away, only clamoring to eat this and watch that.

Rong Cheng walked slowly and Jing Yu followed her step by step, Chun Mian ran away from time to time and came back, either with a sugar figurine or an osmanthus cake in his hand.

"Young master, Meng Keshui, the third son of the Meng family in Yunzhou, is good at making long whips."

"Tomorrow, I will send someone to order the best whip for her as a birthday present."

"Understood, son."

Chun Mian had just bought a mask and put it on her face, she happily turned around to show Rong Cheng, the young master in plain brocade clothes walked towards her slowly.She stared at the young master's shining pupils, and then turned to look at her black eyebrows and Ruofeng's nasal bone. Her young master came here with stars and a moon, he was no worse than that Bai Qingtong at all.

She happily ran to the young master, opened her eyes wide, and said seriously, "Bai Qingtong is the most beautiful woman in the Jianghu. It's fine if her martial arts are not as good as mine, and she doesn't even look half as beautiful as the young master."

Rong Cheng was startled for a moment, then smiled, "How do you know Bai Qingtong is inferior to me, since you haven't seen her before?"

"Just because of her eyes, she is not as good-looking as the young master."

Seeing her like this, Jing Yu couldn't help laughing, "Chun Mian, don't mess around, let's go back quickly."

Chun Mian nodded and stopped running around, and followed Rong Cheng obediently, careful not to let the crowd around bump into the young master, Rong Cheng's eyes smiled.

"Zi Qi Dong Lai" Xia Feng was waiting here early in the morning. Seeing the three people walking back on foot, the stern faces were a little puzzled. Jing Yu explained, "There are many people on the way back, and the son is afraid of hurting the passers-by, so he ordered The car is coming back."

Xia Feng nodded, and saw Chun Mian's happy expression again, "What good food to eat today?"

"There are so many, I bought gifts for you and Sister Dongge." She took out the sword ear she bought for Xia Feng, and put it in front of Xia Feng like a treasure, "Look, it's perfect for your battle star Oh, and this is the jade hairpin I bought for Sister Dongge, do you think it looks good?"

"nice."

Chun Mian laughed again and lost her eyes, "Jian Sui will give you the jade hairpin tomorrow and I will send it to Sister Dong Ge, son, I will go back to my room first."

Rong Cheng smiled and nodded until Chun Mian disappeared, then turned and stepped into the study. Xia Feng said, "Yan Luodian's stronghold in Yongzhou City is Qiyan Temple on the mountain. Leader Cheng has secretly united with various sects to gather hundreds of experts. , it looks like we are going to do it tonight."

Rong Cheng's eyes froze, "Qiyan Temple?"

"It's exactly the temple the young master visited last time."

Rong Cheng sneered, "It's a good trick to hide from the sky, a temple can accommodate a hundred people to hide without being easily detected, and the actions of the Yan Luo Temple are not superficially reckless."

Xia Feng looked at the sky, but said, "My lord, it's night time to rest."

"If Xia Feng were Cheng Hao, how would you capture this temple without losing your troops?" Rong Cheng's eyes were hidden in the candlelight, and she looked in the direction of Qiyan Temple with her usual expression.

Before Xia Feng could answer, she said calmly, "You have always done things aboveboard, and killing the enemy is naturally an upright duel. But if it were me, I would first let someone poison the temple's water source, and wait until After the toxicity breaks out, I catch them all by surprise, and finally burn down the entire temple, and the world will not know that I have used such indecent methods."

Xia Feng was silent and did not answer Rong Cheng, there was no words in the room for a while, only the crackling sound of burning candles from time to time.Rong Cheng stood under the window surrounded by the moonlight, and the candlelight shone from behind her, drawing a slender silhouette on the ground.

"Young master, there is a fire on the mountain."

Rong Cheng's pupils turned red, and he said with a smile, "It's so fast, it shows how strong the poison is."

Xia Feng said again, "My lord, tomorrow I have to go to the mountain to rest early."

"En." Rong Cheng responded lightly, and slowly stepped out of the study and walked towards the bedroom.

The main hall of Qiyan Temple was filled with dead bodies, in different postures, stacked left and right, lying all over the ground. In the dark, their faces were blue and black, and their lips were black and purple. Cheng Hao stood outside the main hall holding a torch, The gloomy smile was even more strange in the flickering firelight.

"Leader, after counting, there are a total of 110 people."

"Is there any omission?"

"Not one is missed."

"ignition."

As soon as his words fell to the ground, dozens of torches flew towards every corner of the hall, like ferocious beasts rushing towards their prey fiercely. Spreading, meandering and converging, the flames quickly engulfed the entire hall after the fires from all directions converged.

The flames opened their fangs and ran wildly. One hundred and twelve people who were still alive were bitten and torn mercilessly by the fire until the whole hall collapsed. The fire did not stop. They followed the walls and trees towards the hall The ambitious expansion of the outside world scorched the place where it passed.

The raging fire engulfed the surrounding darkness like a big blood basin, and the soaring fire light finally alarmed the people who had been sleeping in the city for a long time. Turn over the mountain and quickly evacuate.

A cool breeze finally blows from the compassionate mountain, and the flames seem to be threatened and gradually recede. The people living at the foot of the mountain are busy fighting the fire, only Ye Zai blinks his treacherous eyes and watches everything silently.

Chen Yu, the governor of Yongzhou City, came in a hurry with his people. The fire was gradually extinguished, and only a few inconspicuous small flames were still shouting. Chen Yu was pacing back and forth outside the burnt gate anxiously. They were all searching for life in the scorched ruins, and half a day passed without seeing any movement, and it took another long time before someone ran out in a hurry.

"How is it?" Chen Yu stopped and asked.

"There are no less than a hundred corpses in the hall, all of which have been burnt to ashes. Their faces are beyond recognition, and their identities are even more difficult to identify. It seems that they should be monks in the temple." The officers and soldiers wiped the sweat from their foreheads with hands exchanged. Just one look was enough to make his heart tremble. The charcoal-like corpses were lying here and there like burnt wooden sticks, and they were shattered before being touched. It was terrifying and frightening. He couldn't help shivering at the thought.

"Hurry up and get the certificate from the government office to check your identity. What are you doing in a daze? Hurry up." Chen Yu chased people away, raised his foot to walk inside, then put his foot down again , He beckoned his confidant to come over and whispered, "Princess Anle must suppress the rumors of this matter while she is still in the city, and announced to the outside world that the monk in the temple accidentally knocked over the oil lamp and burned the flags to cause the fire. Don't make things too big."

"Yes, this subordinate will do it."

"return."

The civilians who had put out the fire had not yet left and were still following the officers and soldiers to rescue them in the ruins. He rolled his eyes in the direction of the burnt gate, and the officer next to him immediately understood his worries and said, "My lord, don't worry, this is easy to handle."

Chen Yu on the mountain took people away after a busy night. The morning glow billowed from the sky. He raised his eyes and looked at Jin Lun who was just in his early days and gathered the front of his clothes. On his face, he kept begging his father to tell his mother in his heart that what happened at night must not be too involved.

"My lord, the martial arts conference is in this other mountain, do you want to take a look?"

Chen Yu breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed his hands again, "Princess Anle has fulfilled her orders not to allow people from the government to approach the martial arts conference venue. I think His Royal Highness has his own plan and we should not live it." Not to mention such a cold day Who wants to suffer from the cold in the mountains.

The confidant quickly complimented, "Yes, yes, it's just a little muddleheadedness."

Bai Qingtong arrived earlier than Rong Cheng in today's martial arts competition, she watched Rong Cheng walking slowly from the high platform, walking slowly.Rong Cheng's body was wrapped in a thick fox fur, which made her jade face more white, and she always lacked the casualness of people in the world, and had a little more elegance and extravagance.

Walking to the south, under the high platform, Rong Cheng stopped in his tracks, stretched out his slender wrist from the fox fur and put it on Chun Mian's arm, using Chun Mian's strength to slowly go up, Bai Qingtong saw Chun Mian's stature clearly. From the bottom of Rong Cheng's chin, she was only a young girl of fourteen or fifteen years old.

Chun Mian whispered into Rong Cheng's ear while waiting for her, "My lord, Miss Bai is looking at you."

Rong Cheng looked in Bai Qingtong's direction, and Bai Qingtong happened to look away, she smiled slightly and shifted her gaze to look at Cheng Hao next to her, Cheng Hao couldn't hide his happy face today and looked very comfortable.

Twos and threes in the crowd were discussing in low voices, "The mountain was full of flames last night, but what happened?"

"I was woken up by the sound of running last night and saw that the fire in the mountain was almost burning the sky red. I don't know what happened?"

"Could it be that Yan Luodian has started killing people again?" These sects are all outsiders who don't know the terrain and buildings in the city.

"Everyone." Yu Daqian stepped forward and called, "Everyone, please be safe and don't be impatient and listen to Yu in detail. Everyone may have seen the fire in the mountain last night." Seeing that everyone listened with bated breath, he said, "The place that was burned last night Originally it was a temple."

"It seems that Yu Daxia knows the fire last night like the back of his hand, or is there something hidden behind the fire?" An unfamiliar boy interrupted Yu Daqian's words.

Yu Daqian glared at the young man, and continued, "To be honest, heroes, the fire last night not only has something to do with my subordinates, but also has a lot to do with you." He stopped talking pretentiously, turned around and saluted Cheng Hao with his fists in his hands. "If it wasn't for the leader's concern for the safety of the martial arts world, and he didn't hesitate to go deep into the tiger's den to find out the details of Yan Luodian, how could we have you and me competing in martial arts today?"

"Brother Yu, you mean that there was a battle between the alliance leader and Yan Luodian last night?" The one who spoke was Bai Luoying, the owner of Baihua Palace.

"Exactly. In the name of helping all sentient beings, the Qiyan Temple secretly carried out brutal killings. Last night, the leader and his disciples fought to the death with the demon monk. Unexpectedly, the demon monk came up with a way to set fire to the temple when he was defeated. We will perish together with me, fortunately the heavens have the eyes to allow me to return safely, and let those thieves be killed in the temple to get rid of this serious disaster in one fell swoop." His tone was cadenced, and his voice was even more passionate.

The heads of all the sects were shocked at first, and then said in unison, "Fortunately, there is Master Cheng who can help the righteous way. It is really a blessing for the martial arts."

Cheng Hao also got up and stood up and cupped his hands towards the heads of the sects, "Heroes are such a disgrace to the old man, as the leader of the martial arts alliance, the old man should be completely devastated by the martial arts."

Everyone shouted in unison, "The leader of the alliance is righteous."

Cheng Hao retreated to the main seat and sat down, and Yu Daqian said loudly, "The martial arts competition, the point is over." The gong sounded again.

Wu Liulan, who won yesterday, flew to the competition arena and stood still, "Wu Liulan, a disciple of the Xiaqinghe School, hopes that all heroes will give us your advice."

"Shen Kuo of Yunzhou came to ask for advice." There was another round of hearty fighting in the martial arts arena.

"Young master, today's martial arts competition is much more exciting than yesterday's." Chun Mian finally regained interest after sweeping away yesterday's boredom, and carefully figured out the martial arts moves of the contestants.

"Do you know why?"

Chun Mian shook her head, "I don't know."

Rong Cheng smiled lightly, "You will know later."

Here at noon, Chun Mian still didn't understand what her young master told her to know, and she sat next to Rong Cheng with her chin on her cheek in the middle of the truce, with a puzzled expression on her face.

"Chun Mian." Rong Cheng woke up her who was still in doubt and thought, and asked, "Is Chen Yu's cronies beside Cheng Hao?"

Chun Mian looked up and nodded, "Yes son, I've seen him many times at Sister Dongge's place. Hey, what is he doing here?" Chun Mian carefully looked at the mouth shapes of the two talking over there, After a long time, he said, "Young master, Chen Yu sent someone to warn Cheng Hao, saying that Princess Anle came to Yongzhou City by order, telling Cheng Hao not to act recklessly, especially what happened last night must not happen again."

Rong Cheng smiled coldly, "What a governor of Yongzhou."

"My lord, look quickly." Rong Cheng looked in the direction Chun Mian pointed, and walked up to a young hero on the field of martial arts. It was the face-to-face boy who interrupted Yu Daqian before, and she boasted, " He looks so handsome."
