Chapter 23 Hengshan City
On the third day after Lu Yuan and his team left, six plainclothes officers in black shirts appeared in Fuzhou City.
First, they entered the home of the prefect Liu Yunqi, and then went to many places in the city to collect evidence and investigate.
Finally, the leading man looked at the information and said in a deep voice: "Our action plan outside may have been exposed. Send this message back and ask if there are similar incidents in the rivers and lakes recently. The person behind this trouble is extraordinary and must be found as soon as possible!"
"Yes!" A man next to him bowed.
......
When the Jinyiwei was fully mobilized, Lu Yuan and the others had already seen the shadow of Hengshan City.

From Fuzhou City to Hengshan City, the straight-line distance is more than 600 kilometers. On the way, Lu Yuan and Lu Huaer spent almost two hours a day using Qinggong to travel.
Fortunately, there was no urgent matter, otherwise the dishes would be cold by the time they arrived.
After a short rest, the two disguised themselves and put on makeup again.
This time, Lu Yuan transformed into an old man, and Lu Huaer transformed into a grandmother.
The two entered the city smoothly. With Fuzhou City first, they could clearly feel that the people here were dressed more simply.
But this did not affect the mental outlook of the people in Hengshan City, especially the little kids who gathered to play.
They sang ballads while running and playing.
"Washing hands in a golden basin, sheep fall into the tiger's mouth, family is broken, demons walk around..."
Lu Yuan and Lu Huaer looked at each other.
"What's going on? Even the little kids know that there will be trouble if you wash your hands in a golden basin this time?" Lu Huaer was puzzled.
On the way here, Lu Yuan had roughly told her about the incident.
In short, it was Liu Zhengfeng of Hengshan School and Qu Yang of Sun and Moon Sect. The two became acquainted because they loved music. After deep friendship, they became confidants of each other, but because they belonged to the two sects of good and evil, they did not want to be burdened by the secular world anymore. Liu Zhengfeng invited all the sects in the martial arts world to witness his story of washing hands in a golden basin and retiring from the martial arts world.
This involves the Songshan Sect. They wanted to unify the Five Mountains Sword Sects, but they were originally unable to push forward. Just when this happened, they planned to make a fuss about Liu Zhengfeng's collusion with the Demon Sect, in front of many sects, to prevent him from retiring, and force him to kill Qu Yang with righteousness.
Doing so can not only establish the prestige of the Songshan Sect, but also be an attempt to forcibly intervene in the affairs of other sects, which is the first step in opening the "Unify the Five Mountains Plan".
The overall plan is very good, but what happened when they heard a song with strong suggestive meaning when they entered the city?
Lu Huaer immediately wanted to stop a child and ask about the origin of the ballad.
But she was stopped by Lu Yuan.
"No need, it won't affect our plan. And since the other party will let the children help, they won't leave any clues. It is estimated that other sects that enter the city later will also hear the song."
"Are you going to remind everyone?"
Lu Yuan smiled and stepped forward, "Then do you think other sects will believe it after hearing it?"
Lu Huaer thought for a while, "It shouldn't be, after all, this is just a retreat."
"Yes, I guess Liu Zhengfeng himself doesn't believe it, but when this incident really happens, what will other sects think of this song again? How will they react?"
"They will think that someone is kind and uses this method to tip off."
"What else? Expand your perspective and look at this matter from a global perspective." Lu Yuan reminded.
Lu Huaer lowered her brows and thought, her mind gradually opened up, and she said uncertainly: "It feels a bit like first suppressing and then praising. At first, people don't believe it, but then it really happens. This contrast directly highlights the Songshan Sect, which will make other sects subconsciously guard against it, and naturally put the Songshan Sect on the opposite side."
"Yes, do you think this method is familiar?"
"You mean, it's the handiwork of the court again?!" Lu Huaer had just finished asking, and she was sure, "That's right! It must be the court behind the scenes. What a despicable method, setting up hostility, dividing and consuming, no wonder You said that the martial arts world is gradually in danger! "
"The imperial court is only one of the reasons. The chaotic order of the martial arts world itself is also the root cause of its defeat. The big and small sects fight each other and target each other. Countless geniuses have fallen in meaningless battles. "
"Then how about we unify the martial arts world?"
Lu Yuan smiled lazily and looked at the girl with grandma makeup next to him, "If you have this idea, I can help you!"
Lu Huaer waved her hand quickly, "Forget it, I prefer the peaceful years. I am annoyed by thinking about that kind of thing."
While the two were talking, they had already arrived at a restaurant called Huiyan Tower.
The whole building is built along the river, simple and majestic. Through the windows on the second floor, you can see the Xiangjiang River flowing below.
"Since we have discovered it, shouldn't we do something? Make things difficult for those Jinyiwei."
While waiting for the dishes to be served, Lu Huaer asked in a low voice.
"Don't worry, there will be a chance." He gestured to the stairs.
Lu Huaer looked over and saw a wretched man forcibly dragging a little nun upstairs to eat.
Letβs not talk about the wretched man, the little nunβs appearance is really amazing, with a plump figure. Even the wide nunβs robe canβt hide the trembling when she goes upstairs.
Lu Huaer instantly felt the crisis and squinted at Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan signaled the other party to be patient, and soon, another ruffian youth bumped into the little nun like a drunk.
The young man showed his face, and it was Linghu Chong who had met once in Fuzhou City.
When the two met, their identities were revealed. The wretched man was the notorious flower thief Tian Boguang, and the water-smart nun next to him was named Yilin, who was from Hengshan School and was now captured by Tian Boguang.
The next thing happened just like in the original novel of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer.
Linghu Chong belittled the little nun in various ways, hoping that Tian Boguang would give up, but Tian Boguang didn't buy it at all, and the little nun next to him was made to feel aggrieved and pitiful.
Seeing that his plan failed, Linghu Chong decisively changed his mind and started to drink and argue with the other party. However, before he had drunk a few glasses of wine, a Taishan Sect disciple had already drawn his sword in anger.
Unfortunately, he was a supporting role and was killed by Tian Boguang with a few swords.
The crowd began to panic, and Lu Yuan also took Lu Huaer downstairs.
They came to a herbal tea stall outside the inn, where they could see the fight on the second floor.
Linghu Chong was no match for the other party in terms of hard power, so he had to bet with the other party to sit and fight. Whoever stood up first would lose. He thought of dragging Tian Boguang to the spot and letting Yi Lin take the opportunity to escape, but Yi Lin didn't want to, and Linghu Chong was beaten to the ground.
Tian Boguang thought he had won and stood up proudly, but Linghu Chong still had a piece of bench under his butt.
Thus, Tian Boguang lost like a child's play.
Lu Yuan and the others watched the whole process and felt somewhat bored, but not without meaning.
They chose this place just to confirm the timeline.
Since the incident in the restaurant has already happened, it means that the major sects are not far away.
At this time, the head of Hengshan Sect, Mr. Mo Da, must have left the sect and is in Hengshan City.
This is good, and it is more convenient for Lu Yuan to act.
After getting up and paying the bill, Lu Yuan and the others set out from the west gate and walked 20 miles all the way to the foot of Hengshan Mountain.
Without hesitation, they flew through the treetops.
With the branches and leaves of the trees covering their figures, a group of red-walled and blue-brick buildings came into their sight in a moment.
