Chapter 235 Deeper Chess Pieces

center island.

At the end of the central avenue extending from the Dragon Palace, in the backyard of an inn called "You Lai", Wang Ping and Jiang Cun were tasting the grape wine from Dongzhou West Alliance, while Yu Lian was chewing a boiled prawn.

"It's better to be comfortable outside."

Jiang Cun looked like a child who was being annoyed. His left hand was supporting the table, his body was in a relaxed state, and his right hand was holding a wine glass, pointing it at the sun in the sky.

Yu Lian swallowed the prawn in her mouth and asked Jiang Cun: "I have always been curious about why there are so many rules in the Dragon Palace. Do you like being governed by rules?"

"No one likes to be controlled. Mr. Long said that our dragon clan is naturally restless, free and unrestrained and dissolute. Only by restraining ourselves with rules can we avoid being suppressed by desire and human nature." Jiang Cun said with some palpitations: "I was like this when I was a child. I was beaten all the way by the rules and was almost beaten to death once.”

"That's it. I've read in many stories that the dragon clan is dissolute and likes to cause trouble everywhere, making the people of the world miserable." Yu Lian came closer to Wang Ping, stared at Jiang Cun and said, "Slaying the dragon some time ago The story books are so popular, I have a bunch of them and haven’t finished them yet.”

Jiang Cun was stunned by Yu Lian's words. Wang Ping raised his wine glass and said, "Don't be surprised, fellow Taoist, those words are just a pastime for ordinary people."

"No!"

Jiang Cun shook his head and said: "In normal times, I wouldn't care, but in the current situation, my Linshui Mansion has settled in Zhongzhou, but it has been vilified in the script. You said, if we appear on the Central Plains, What will be the first impression of everyone in the world?"

Wang Ping didn't think that far, but after thinking about it carefully, he knew that Jiang Cun was right, so he said: "This matter is easy to handle. If fellow Taoist is interested, you can leave it to me."

"You don't need to bother fellow Taoist with some minor matters." Jiang Cun smiled and refused Wang Ping's help. He didn't want to use the friendship between the two on such a minor issue.

The two chatted for a while, then Jiang Cun said goodbye and left.

So three days passed.

Zi Luan and Ming Xin came to the inn, or rather returned to the inn, because this place was originally booked by Daozang Palace for Zi Luan.

The three of them didn't have much communication in the small courtyard. After saying hello briefly, they left the city in a low-key manner, and then took the merchant ship that had been prepared and headed west along the channel.

When approaching Dongxu Island, Wang Ping got off the boat. When they were separated, Zi Luan specifically told Wang Ping: "You are lucky this time. When you return to Nanlin Road, remember to come to me as soon as possible. If there is anything good, Something for you."

Wang Ping knew that he was talking about the spoils from the siege of Si Ran, so he naturally wanted to express his gratitude.

Back in the small courtyard he rented in Dongxu City, before Wang Ping could take a breath, a puppet bird the size of an adult's thumb landed on him.

This is Taoist Yucheng’s most secret communication method!
  Wang Ping's brows jumped, and after habitually using the wood spirit energy to explore, he immediately took out the information on its abdomen.

"What's the matter?" Yu Lian lay on Wang Ping's shoulder and read the information with Wang Ping.

The information was indeed sent by Taoist Yucheng, but it was Taoist Wenyang who provided the information. He got the exact information from the channels of the Zhenyang Sect. Someone wanted to surround and kill Zi Luan on his way back!
  When Wang Ping saw the news, he suddenly felt a chill running from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and then trembled from the inside out.

The first thing he thought of was to leave early, but then he rejected the idea.

Linshui Mansion has more reasons than Guan Xi to kill Zi Luan!
  Is it really Linshui Mansion?

But why is it information coming from the True Yang Sect?

Wang Ping's thoughts spread in his mind, but he did not stop in his hands. He quickly wrote a letter and was about to send it out through the communication method he and Zi Luan had agreed upon, when he suddenly felt a familiar voice coming from the door. breath. He actually solved the problem of Si Ran and left quietly!
  "Very stable breath." Yu Lian reminded softly.

Wang Ping thought for a moment, put away the letter in his hand, and then gave the instruction to Zi Hong who was guarding the door to open the door.

Guan Xi was still wearing the same clothes as when they met a few days ago, and his condition was almost the same as then.

"Fellow Taoist, you followed closely. I just came back here and you knocked on the door." Wang Ping said this with a smile, and the etiquette was also in place.

"I'm sorry to bother you, but I have something to tell you." Guan Xi cupped his hands and said, "I got news that someone wants to take action against Taoist Master Ziluan."

After he finished speaking, he stared at Wang Ping, a bright smile suddenly appeared on his face, and continued: "However, Taoist Master Ziluan seems to have been prepared, and even Mr. Xiaoshanfu may know about this."

"Oh?" Wang Ping's eyelids twitched, and he suddenly felt that everything he had experienced before was walking a tightrope.

"It's a bit far to explain this matter clearly."

"I have fine wine and tea here. Fellow Taoist, you might as well tell me in detail." Wang Ping made an invitation.

After being polite.

The host and guest sat down, and the rain lotus fell into the fish pond again to tease the fish.

"Fellow Taoists must know that hundreds of years ago, the Taoism in the south of Zhongzhou belonged to Taoist Yuxiao, the founder of Qianmu Temple. Before Taoist Yuxiao, Zhongzhou belonged to the five Xuanmen sects, while the south belonged to Taiyan Sect. , there were three active princes in the south at that time, one was Taoist Yuxiao, the second was Mr. Xiaoshan, and the third was Taoist Wuma."

"After the fall of Taiyan Cult, Taoist Yuxiao inherited the Taoism in the south of Zhongzhou. After the death of Taoist Yuxiao, Lord Xiaoshanfu and Taoist Wuma fought fiercely for the Taoism in the south. The final victory was of course Mr. Xiaoshanfu. At that time , the person standing in your Qianmuguan team is Mr. Xiaoshanfu."

"Almost everyone knew about this at the time, but now only some old people who have closed their doors know about it."

Wang Ping once asked Taoist Tongyu about some things about Patriarch Yuxiao, but unfortunately his knowledge was very limited, and he fell into a deep sleep later.

"So, you mean, the ones who besieged Taoist Ziluan this time were the disciples of Taoist Wuma?" Wang Ping asked.

"Correct!"

Guan Xi smiled and said: "The battle between Mr. Xiaoshanfu and Taoist Wuma is not over yet. As a bystander, I became a little anxious when I saw it, so I took some measures."

"Did you resort to any means?"

"Hiding in the dark is not good for you and me, isn't it? Only by dragging them into the open can things be seen clearly." Guan Xi kept his smile.

"Tao friendly means!"

"No, it's because I have the saint's back, so I have these arrangements."

"In other words, are the two groups going to fight soon?" Yulian ran out of the pool and spit out a goldfish in her mouth into the fish pond.

"There is a high probability that we won't be able to fight. After all, both sides are well prepared. If we fight, we will end up killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred to ourselves." Guan Xi shook the sleeves of his robe, "If we fight, it won't be good for you or me." There is no benefit, all I want is for everyone to make moves together, not to overturn the chessboard."
