Chapter 51 Luoyang
Two bad guys rode their horses holding reins and came over in the snow.

The snow has been getting heavier in the past two days, and the horses' hooves are stepping on the snow with some feet deep and some feet shallow, so the speed seems particularly slow.

They met the carriage in the suburbs of Xingyang County.

"Captain, everyone in Huanyinfang has been arranged, and the reinforcements from Fengxiang have also joined them."

The horse pulling the cart was struggling, so a man harnessed his mount and the cart went faster.

Xiao Yan didn't care that Ji Ruxue was beside him, and asked, "What's the news from Luoyang?"

The two bad guys knew that he was asking about Zhu Wen's movements, and immediately responded: "They just left Zhengzhou and stopped. It should be that there was news from Bianliang, but we don't know what their plan is."

During this time, they glanced at Ji Ruxue and answered in a serious tone, "The situation in Zhengzhou is very complicated. The Xuanming Sect is still searching for people from Huanyinfang. After the news of the unrest in Bianliang came yesterday, they almost got into a fight with the guards in the city."

Xiao Yan thought about it and realized that the Xuanming Sect was at a disadvantage in the confrontation with the Imperial Guards. Although Bianliang wanted to cover up the news, he had already asked Liu Cheng to reveal the inside story.

The conflict between the two factions is already huge. Not to mention the ghosts under the Xuanming Sect, the top leaders such as the Emperor of the Underworld will have a headache.

No matter what, the Imperial Guards were the only weapon to control Bianliang. The Dark Emperor had a chance to intervene, but Xiao Yan didn't want him to have it easy.

Although it was unknown whether Zhu Wen was still planning to go to Luoyang, Xiao Yan still had to rush there.

With the guidance of two bad guys, they moved faster and arrived at a temple in the suburbs two hours later.

The temple is not big, but it still has places for pilgrims to stay.

After parking the carriage outside, Xiao Yan donated some money for incense and then strode in.

Ji Ruxue was holding a long sword and walking behind him. She saw two familiar figures hurriedly coming out from the guest room.

They were also familiar with Xiao Yan, so they all greeted him with great gratitude.

"Xiao Lang..."

"My two holy ladies, nice to meet you again." Xiao Yan bowed to them.

The two girls were Miao Chengtian and Xuan Jingtian. They were like fire captains. As soon as they received the news from Fan Yintian and Ji Ruxue, they hurried over from Fengxiang.

At this time, the former took Ji Ruxue's hand, looked at the gauze wrapped around her wrist, and sighed: "Fortunately, you helped to contact Xiao Lang, otherwise, I don't know how the situation would develop."

"Let's talk inside."

Only when they entered the guest room did they see several women and Fanyintian.

Miao Chengtian explained: "Most of the sisters have already taken a detour back to Fengxiang. Zhengzhou and Bianliang have caused such a big commotion, but we dare not leave them in the Central Plains for the time being."

Xiao Yan was not concerned about this matter. He sat down and asked, "I wonder if you have come to an agreement on the terms I discussed with Fanyin Tianshengji?"

Fanyintian was making hot tea and asking a maid to play a pipa tune to liven up the atmosphere in the room.

After hearing the voice, she twisted her hips and moved closer, then lowered her waist and pressed against Xiao Yan's arm, rubbing her soft breasts against his arm, almost revealing a large area of ​​her white chest in front of him.

Ji Ruxue turned her head and stared at the simple furnishings in the room meticulously.

Over there, Fanyin Tianjiao said with a smile: "To be honest, young master, the current situation is unstable, I'm afraid we need to..."

Before she could finish her words, Xiao Yan pushed her away without any courtesy.

Her buttocks were about to sit on his legs just now, but were suddenly pulled apart, and she screamed subconsciously.

However, Xiao Yan sipped his tea, brushed the sleeves on his arms, and said expressionlessly: "Saint Ji, do you want to regret it?"

Seeing his action, Fanyintian was surprised at first, and then looked a little embarrassed.

Miao Chengtian hurriedly tried to smooth things over, saying, "That's not what Fan Shengji meant. It's just that right now, the situation is tense everywhere, and I don't know if it can meet Xiao Lang's expectations."

"No need to go through so much trouble." Xiao Yan knocked on the table and said, "I can arrange for people to help you run the business. You just need to provide us with your subordinates and sources of intelligence. For you, you can also cooperate with my people to make up for your shortcomings in identity."

Miao Chengtian knew what he meant, which was simply that they could use his people to make their secret agents look less simple.

In fact, this is indeed the case. The secret agents they set up in various places are mostly run by women, so most of them can only use some entertainment venues.

If there were bad people cooperating, things would be much easier.

But Xiao Yan had only talked about intelligence sharing before, but now he wanted to openly insert his own people in. Miao Chengtian was a little hesitant and said, "This matter still needs to be reported to the Queen first... Xiao Lang, don't worry. You have done such a great favor to Huanyinfang, and I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

"I hope Shengji won't make me wait too long."

Xiao Yan put the empty teacup on the table, stood up, and pointed at Ji Ruxue, "Miss Xue'er has a token of mine. If you have agreed, you can let her contact my people. I can trust Miss Xue'er's actions." Fan Yintian was secretly annoyed, thinking that he was not as attractive as that little girl, so he looked a little surprised.

"I know that Xiao Lang and Xue'er have a very good personal relationship," Miao Chengtian said with a smile on her face. But when she saw Xiao Yan was about to leave, she hurriedly approached him and asked, "Xiao Lang, are you leaving?"

"Xiao has something important to do. Since Saint Ji knows what's going on, I won't stay any longer. Goodbye."

He spoke briefly, bowed slightly, turned around, and rode away on horseback out of the temple with a few bad guys.

He came and went in a hurry, which made all the women a little surprised.

There were still two bad guys left at this time. They didn't say much, but just stood outside the room with their arms folded, as if they were monitoring them.

"This brat!" Fanyintian had a bad temper to begin with, and sat at the table with a little annoyance.

Fortunately, she carefully changed her clothes and even brewed a pot of good tea by herself, but the boy didn't even give her any face.

Miao Chengtian ignored her, but pulled Ji Ruxue over and asked in a low voice.

After a moment, she frowned in thought.

----

Two days later.

The western capital of Daliang, Luoyang.

In the inn on the corner, a figure nimbly climbed in through the window.

He held a piece of paper in both hands and handed it to Xiao Yan.

"Captain, Zhu Wen's carriage has passed Hulao Pass."

The latter was wiping a mask. He first scanned the note carefully, then asked, "Have you contacted Luoyang?"

"I have already met one of them, and he will help the captain contact his old subordinates in Luoyang."

Xiao Yan walked to the window with his hands behind his back, quietly looking at the snow-covered alley outside and the pedestrians passing by on the street.

"I still have to trouble others in the end."

……

In the north of the city, there is Lindefang.

The short and fat tofu vendor happily closed his stall. He had actually only been there for a short time, but because it was New Year's Day, the neighbors all liked his tofu, and it was selling very well today.

The vendors nearby were a little envious and called out, "Manager Duan, it's time to open a shop. How can the small amount of tofu you sell at your stall attract customers?"

The short and fat man smiled naively, wiped his sweat with a hot towel, and said, "Don't joke, I'm not worthy of the title of shopkeeper..."

The vendor laughed and said, "Didn't you take in an apprentice last year? If you don't open up the shop, are you going to let him set up a stall in the future?"

"We'll talk about it later. You can't just open a shop overnight."

The short and fat man was particularly friendly and did not care about the hidden meaning in other people's words. He used a few copper coins to buy some snacks, then carried the shelf on a shoulder pole and went home happily.

The slightly narrow yard was filled with shelves, and half of the boys, young and old, were sitting on the doorstep, nodding their heads like chicks pecking at rice.

Seeing this, he sighed and called out, "Xiaobei, no more practice today, go back to your room and sleep."

The latter suddenly woke up, wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, took out a piece of paper from his arms, grinned and said: "Master, an uncle just came and asked me to give this to you."

The short and fat man narrowed his eyes and his friendly expression disappeared.

"Go and close the door."

He put the shelf in the yard, then walked into the house and put the letter on the table.

On the paper, in a blood-red semicircle, three words were written in cursive.

"Bad people."

He was silent for a long time and put it in his arms.
