Chapter 6 Openness and frankness

Li Mengzhou has been meditating in Ligong Sword Courtyard. He did not return to Chaosi Lane or set foot on the streets of the capital. His injuries were indeed very serious, and only in Ligong Sword Courtyard can he recover as soon as possible.

Otherwise, he was also worried that if he really set foot in the capital, would there be danger waiting for him?

It’s not that he is greedy for life and death at this moment, and he is not an idiot. Since he has the opportunity to hide under the wings of Ligong Sword Courtyard to recuperate, why do he have to run out? That would seem stupid.

Although he cannot go back to Chaosi Lane for the time being, he also asked Jiang Zihua to help contact Gu Shiyan. Even if he wanted to rest, he had to do something, otherwise it would be meaningless to hide in Ligong Jianyuan.

Besides, he was not sure whether there was any danger in the capital. He had been recuperating in the Ligong Sword Courtyard for some time, and Xue Wangyou had never told him anything. He wanted to take the initiative to find out the situation in the capital.

It happened that Gu Shiyan was in Chaosi Lane now, so when Jiang Zihua visited, she easily met her.

Aunt Feng’s noodle shop is still open, and her husband, who was ill in bed, has been completely cured by Gu Shiyan’s help to raise money for medical treatment. After all, there is a pharmacist who takes action. If it weren’t for the fatal blow to practitioners, ordinary and secular diseases, except for some exceptions, have great hopes that they can be cured.

It was already evening when Jiang Zihua came to Chaosi Lane, and Gu Shiyan happened to come out after dinner at Aunt Feng's noodle restaurant. She naturally recognized Jiang Zihua and had seen it in Chaosi Lane. However, at that time, Li Mengzhou faced the pressure from Xuan Zhengsi and Buluoshanmen. The situation was very tense. Although she had never spoken, she was not a stranger.

"Mr. Six." Gu Shiyan looked at Jiang Zihua standing in front of the courtyard gate, frowned slightly.

Jiang Zihua turned around and smiled slightly at Gu Shiyan, bowed and said, "Miss Gu."

Gu Shiyan nodded slightly and said, "Li Mengzhou is still recovering from the Ligong Jianyuan. I wonder what Mr. Liu is doing when he comes to Si Lane?"

Since being guided by Jiang Tingyu, Gu Shiyan has been acting in the capital, but she has been much more low-key. She has been staying in Chaosi Lane most of the time. Aunt Feng’s noodle restaurant is the most common place. Gu Shiyan is very clear that her identity is no longer a secret in the capital. Without Li Mengzhou’s help, she has also been subject to some restrictions.

The end of the incident at Tianxing Gambling House also made it difficult for Chaosi Lane to have fewer visitors. Jiang Zihua is the first guest in more than half a year.

Jiang Zihua spoke and said, "It's because of Li Mengzhou. Otherwise, I would have no reason to come here. He was really seriously injured and it will still be difficult to heal in the short term. But I think he has been thinking about Chaosi Lane. I don't know whether he is thinking about Chaosi Lane or Miss Gu, but my mission here is to convey Li Mengzhou's words and want to invite Gu to Ligong Jianyuan."

Li Mengzhou just asked Jiang Zihua to paint, and did not say anything else. According to Jiang Zihua's urinary nature, he certainly had to think about it because he thought that Chaosixiang could come back any time, but Li Mengzhou was so anxious that it only means that he was not thinking about Chaosixiang, but the people in Chaosixiang.

Thinking of this, he was very excited and deliberately made a funny expression, maliciously focusing on conveying what he thought.

But I don’t know if Gu Shiyan didn’t understand what Jiang Zihua meant or just ignored the sentence. Her expression was very calm and not unnatural at all. She just answered with the flow: “Mr. Six, please lead the way.”

Jiang Zihua was a little disappointed. Gu Shiyan's reaction was not what he wanted to see, but she could only lead the way with a very depressed look.

......

What Li Mengzhou saw Gu Shiyan in a white dress, still as fairy as before, but he could tell from Gu Shiyan's eyebrows that Gu Shiyan didn't live that well during the time in the capital.

Jiang Zi stood there with a sensual painting.

Li Mengzhou raised his eyebrows and said, "Sixth Brother, do you want to go and see if the third sister is missing rice paper?"

Jiang Zihua looked at him with a bit of resentment. Usually Li Mengzhou would not call him a senior brother. This was obviously driving people away. He shook his sleeves and left in anger. He deliberately took a small step, making a very loud noise, trying to wait for Li Mengzhou to try to keep him, but he was obviously disappointed.

Because Li Mengzhou's very calm voice came from behind him, "Please go quickly, Senior Brother Six, I'm not in good health now, I can't hear the noise. Be careful that I vomit blood for you."

Jiang Zihua shouted angrily: "Then you vomit it to me!"

Although he said that, Jiang Zihua's pace did start to speed up, and he secretly hated him. He was such a bastard who forgot his friends when he saw the beauty.

"What's the matter with me?" After looking at Li Mengzhou, who was lying on the bed, Gu Shiyan was walking in the bamboo house. This place was an inner courtyard, and it was difficult for outsiders to come in, that is, Jiang Zihua led the way, so Gu Shiyan was also quite curious about this place.

The bamboo house is built with fairy bamboos planted by the third senior sister himself. It is full of spiritual energy all year round, which makes people feel refreshed. For injured people, staying here will be twice the result with half the effort.

Li Mengzhou moved up with some difficulty and said softly: "Actually, we should be more honest with each other."

Gu Shiyan paused and turned to look at Li Mengzhou, saying, "We used to be tacit, but did you want to do something when you proposed this matter at this moment?"

Li Mengzhou smiled and said, "You know me well enough. Usually we don't need complete trust. We just need to be clear about our respective purposes. But the situation is different now. If we want to do something, we need absolute trust in each other."

Gu Shiyan frowned lightly and said, "You are bedridden now, what can you do?"

Li Mengzhou pursed his pale lips and said, "It is because I can't do anything now that I need your help. Although these words hurt people, we know each other well that I don't trust you so much, and you don't believe me so much. We just cooperate according to trust above the bottom line, but what I want to do now requires us to reveal the bottom line."

Gu Shiyan looked at him very seriously and said calmly: "I don't know what you are going to do, but if you need my help, you need to know what I am hiding, but it doesn't seem to be any good for me."

Li Mengzhou said: "At least, our goals were consistent. I believe that even if we didn't say them, you know very well what I was doing. It is because we have a common goal that we can get together. It is meaningless to continue guessing each other. Even without full trust, we have experienced so many things. At least our personalities are trustworthy. Maybe the truth is not what we think, but we will also help each other keep secrets, right?"

Gu Shiyan remained silent.

Their first encounter was to intercept and kill the Censor Central Chief Dan Tai Jing outside Jialan Temple. That was their common goal. Killing was not the purpose, but the inevitable result, because they all wanted to know something from Dan Tai Jing's mouth.

But what they didn't understand at that time was that they wanted to ask Dan Tai Jing whether the matter was consistent or simply coincidental.

But when Gu Shiyan moved into Chaosi Lane, everything Li Mengzhou did seemed to coincide with Gu Shiyan's idea, which was definitely not a coincidence.

At that moment, she had some guesses, but she had reservations to each other and refused to tell the secrets in her heart frankly.

"Budou Hole."

"Budou Hole."

They looked at each other silently, and spoke at the same time, continuing to remain silent.

The mutual bottom line is broken, and the secret in my heart is also revealed at this moment.

"Are you a disciple of Bu Erdong?" According to Gu Shiyan, everyone in Bu Erdong should be dead, but the life and death of one person is uncertain. This is why she came to Jiang Kingdom.

"The fifth place in Bu Er Cave is a woman, and that is also the only female disciple in Bu Er Cave. Your age does not match, and she is not from Gu, nor is she from the Western Jin Dynasty. The six disciples in Bu Er Cave come from all over the world, including the eldest brother Han Yi, from the Western Jin Dynasty, the second brother Zhao Er, from Liang State, the third brother Li San, from Jiang State, the fourth brother Li Si, from Nanyu, the fifth sister Yan Wu, also known as Yan Wuniang, from Wei State, and the sixth brother Chen Liu, from Song State."

"They actually all have their own names, but that's a long time ago. Some people have long forgotten their original names. They are all geniuses with extremely high qualifications in various countries. They are basically orphans, or have changes in their families and are wandering outside. When they were very young, they were taken to Bu Er Cave and entered the world of cultivation. In other words, they have no family members, only the brothers and brothers in Bu Er Cave."

Li Mengzhou looked at Gu Shiyan and said with a serious expression: "I don't understand why you were investigating the people related to the destruction of Buerdong, but I believe you are not an enemy at least. Although you are honest, you don't need to explain all the things clearly, because I have already got the answer I want, and I don't like to ask the bottom of it. What do you think?"

Gu Shiyan naturally didn't want to peel off all of herself. Even if it was a bit contrary to the meaning of the so-called frank and honest word, they did prove a lot of things, so there was no need to present the last secret.

But in fact, Gu Shiyan still had questions in her mind, but Li Mengzhou asked her without asking the bottom line, so Gu Shiyan had no reason to continue to raise it.

She just thought that according to Li Mengzhou's age, it was obviously not related to the six disciples of Bu Er Cave, and there were only six disciples in Bu Er Cave. However, Gu Shiyan had also inquired that on the day the collapse of Bu Er Cave was the time to recruit the seventh disciple, but no one had seen the seventh disciple. After Li Daoling was arranged to explore the fifth realm because of the ceremony of apprenticeship, Li Daoling's disaster also came in the process of breaking the realm.

Strictly speaking, the seventh disciple did not really enter the Buer Cave, but Gu Shiyan looked at Li Mengzhou in front of her and felt that this was definitely not as simple as a coincidence.

......

Looking at the beautiful woman in a pure and flawless white dress in front of her, Li Mengzhou could vaguely understand what the other party was thinking at this moment. It was because he didn't want to tell Gu Shiyan that he did not ask Gu Shiyan the problems that still existed. Moreover, the remaining questions were actually not that important, at least not important to what he was going to do next.

He only needs to make sure that Gu Shiyan is worthy of full trust. Who has no secrets in his heart? And even if he doesn't ask, Li Mengzhou can guess some of them. The only thing that may be related to Gu Shiyan in Buer Cave is Han Yi, who also comes from the Western Jin Dynasty. As for the relationship between the two, Li Mengzhou does not want to explore it.

"What do you want me to help you?"

Gu Shiyan was also guessing Li Mengzhou's identity and also had a rough idea in her heart. Regardless of whether it was the truth or not, they all thought so.

"You should know Qin Chengyi, right?" Li Mengzhou's throat was a little itchy. He couldn't help coughing a few times, which made his pale face feel a little rosy. Gu Shiyan handed him a cup of tea. Li Mengzhou thanked him and drank the tea in the cup.

At the same time, Gu Shiyan said softly: "The brother of His Majesty the Emperor, His Majesty, a compatriot, today, Prince Lu, you have asked me to investigate his disciple Song Yidao."

Li Mengzhou nodded and said, "I don't know how much you know about the destruction of Buer Cave, but since you can find out about Dan Tai Jing, you should be able to understand that Dan Tai Jing is helping Qin Chengyi."

"And the list we got in Yanzi Town recorded many officials in the court and some people in the world. In fact, at that time, I knew what this list was. But at that time, I was still very weak and inevitably had some concerns and did not tell you the truth, and I didn't trust you very much at that time."

"By the way, where is that list?"

Gu Shiyan said calmly: "It's at the end of the Jiangyuan in Tianshuyuan."

Li Mengzhou was a little confused, and then Gu Shiyan simply told him what happened in the capital after leaving the capital city and practicing cultivation. After hearing this, Li Mengzhou looked a little solemn, and looked at her and said, "In this way, Qin Chengyi has noticed you."

Gu Shiyan was a little confused and said, "Tianxing Gambling House has something to do with Qin Chengyi?"

Li Mengzhou said: "You want to investigate the boss behind Tianxing Gambling, just because Wang Tianxing's name is on that list, but in fact, the people on that list have some relationship with Qin Chengyi. It's not just a coincidence that Dan Tai Jing's name appears on it."

"Dan Tai Jing was once a small person in the Censorate. It was because of Qin Chengyi's promotion that he became the Chief of the Censor. The same is true for other officials on the list. Those people in the martial arts world, or monks in the mountains and fields were probably like Song Yidao, but Song Yidao was able to follow Qin Chengyi as a confidant."

"If Wang Tianxing of Tianxing Gambling, if I expected it to be good, I would think it would be linked to silver and money. Qin Chengyi would not be so idiotic that he would directly get silver from the Water Mirror Department like King Yu. There will naturally be special channels in secret."

This is a very simple and easy-to-understand truth. However, although Gu Shiyan held the list and knew that Yue Shiting was secretly investigating some things, she had only a little understanding of who the person hiding behind the scenes, so she naturally couldn't imagine the depth. With Li Mengzhou's reminder, she quickly linked all the questions.

"Qin Chengyi is the Prince of Jiang, and for more than ten years, he has been very low-key in the capital. He basically doesn't leave the gate and does not step into the second gate. How could he be related to the destruction of the Buer Hole?"

Gu Shiyan's vision never lies with Qin Chengyi, so naturally she had never investigated it secretly. Moreover, it would be difficult for her to find Dan Tai Jing from the Western Jin Dynasty to find out about Dan Tai Jing. If she had not been "faithful" with Li Mengzhou, she would have never been able to think of Qin Chengyi in any case.

"That's just an illusion. On the surface, perhaps Qin Chengyi is really low-key. If His Majesty hadn't summoned him, he would have stayed in the prince's mansion forever. It seemed that his life was quite boring and he did not participate in matters of big and small in the capital. But I believe that he must have walked out of the prince's mansion in secret, and even was not in the capital for a while, just because he was very powerful in the capital, covering all the traces."

Li Mengzhou thought that Tianshu Court was supervising the capital, and Prince Lu's Mansion was also within the supervision scope. Although it was impossible to see everything big and small, His Royal Highness, if he was not in the capital for a period of time, it would be unlikely that he would be unaware of it. The only explanation is that Qin Chengyi's people were also in Tianshu Court.

The members of Tianshu Academy have undergone strict assessments and have very cruel training. Most of them cannot have problems. Not everyone is as lucky as Li Mengzhou. Without any assessments, they seem to have entered Tianshu Academy casually. However, there is no question about whether all the members of Tianshu Academy have no questions. After all, there are not so many absolutes in the world.

"Wang Tianxing is the one who helped Qin Chengyi make money. Although you ruined the Tianxing Gambling House by chance, there must be more than Wang Tianxing who helped Qin Chengyi make money. Yue Shiting's list does not mean that it is all the secret chess of Qin Chengyi."

"Maybe even Yue Shiting didn't really find Qin Chengyi, otherwise he wouldn't have chosen to hide the list in Yanzi Town and pretended that nothing had happened. He just realized that the potential enemy was in the capital, and he must have a high position and power. That was just his self-protection move, but he was killed in the end."

Li Mengzhou looked at Gu Shiyan and said, "But you finally ruined the Tianxing Gambling House and cut off a large fortune for Qin Chengyi. He could not remain indifferent. Guan Muyun's thing might have been done by Qin Chengyi. Only when Jiang Yuantou came forward, you could be safe and sound, but this matter was not over. After all, you are not from Jiang. If he wants to touch you, it is impossible for him to blatantly. Maybe there is a big net covering you. As for when the net will be closed, only Qin Chengyi knows."

Gu Shiyan's expression was a little solemn, and she said, "I am a student of Longhui Academy in the Western Jin Dynasty. With this identity, Qin Chengyi could not touch me easily. But if I were secretly playing tricks like the Tianxing Gambling House, I would not be able to resist at all. He is a dignified prince, and his minions are everywhere in the capital. It seems that I have always been in a very dangerous situation."

With the protection of the Longhua Academy of the Western Jin Dynasty, Gu Shiyan is indeed difficult to encounter life danger in the capital of Jiangguo. This may be the reason why Qin Chengyi has not attacked her for a long time, but it is not possible to do anything in secret. She doesn't know what the reason for Qin Chengyi's hesitation is, but when the danger really approaches, she may fall into a place of doom.

"Although Qin Chengyi is His Highness, Prince Jiang and has extremely high power, it is not easy to hide from the eyes of the entire capital. But if he left the capital alone, he would not have the ability to destroy the Bu Er Cave. There must be a certain or even several practice mountain gates in Jiang's Kingdom to help him. Although the list is no longer in our hands, I still remember a name."

Li Mengzhou looked at Gu Shiyan very seriously and whispered: "It is not feasible to directly investigate Qin Chengyi. We still have to act around that list. Since the list is in the hands of the head of Jiangyuan, we will ignore it. I hope you can help me investigate a man named Wang Sanshui in Dishui County."

"He is the head of the third mountain gate in Dishui County except Jianjiayuan and Muchen Gate. His name is on that list. I have reason to believe that when Li Daoling broke the territory, he must have been there, and he was with Qin Chengyi."

"Of course there are still many things to do next, but at present we can only use Wang Sanshui to start. I hope you can help me pry open his mouth. It will be difficult for you and me to defeat Qin Chengyi. Only with enough evidence in hand can we do it properly."

The destruction of Bu Erdong is very involved, but Bu Erdong is not an enemy of the world. There are people who secretly enjoy themselves, but there are also people who feel regretful. These can be used. If it were in the past, perhaps Li Mengzhou would be ready to kill Qin Chengyi by himself when he was strong enough. However, with Lin Ganxiao's case, the aura belonging to Old Long was also pulled away, and Li Mengzhou had to make other preparations.

Because he really doesn't have much confidence to become strong enough at this moment, and after all, he doesn't have so much time to give him. If the destruction of the Buer Cave is revealed, it is related to Qin Chengyi, and there will be a lot of people in Jiangguo alone. After all, it is a big tragic incident in Jiangguo. Li Mengzhou needs to rely on external power.

Wang Sanshui is the head of the third mountain gate except Jianjiayuan and Muchen Gate in Dishui County. Of course, it is also the one who has eliminated Mocheng's small south Tianmen. There are not many great monks at the peak of the four realms in Dishui County, but Wang Sanshui is one of them. It is only Gu Shiyan who went to investigate alone, which is a bit dangerous. Fortunately, Gu Shiyan is not weak either.

Moreover, Li Mengzhou really couldn't count on others. He did not intend to tell the brothers and brothers of Ligong Sword Academy about Qin Chengyi and Bu Erdong, at least for the time being.

Gu Shiyan held the sword in her hand tightly and said in a deep voice: "I have reached the peak of the fourth realm. Maybe there is still a great danger in going there, but I will try my best to complete it, not just because of you."
