......

Zhenbei Hou Mansion.

Si Bailan was dressed in a pale yellow gorgeous dress, elegantly picked up a light of dew in front of her with her fingers, and poured a little drop of water on a pot of chrysanthemums in front of her.

The autumn breeze comes, and the chrysanthemums bloom.

It's so golden and brilliant, it's so cute!

Behind Si Bailan, the maid Xiaocui and a guard leader frowned, although they were speechless to each other, but they seemed to be sound.

"It's been a while since Yan Ning went out of the city, right?" After Si Bailan finished watering, she looked at the bright moon outside the window again, and slowly turned around and sat down on the chair in the main seat.

The maid Xiaocui immediately ignored the leader of the guards, quickly knelt at Si Bailan's feet, and tidied up the wrinkled skirt corners for Si Bailan.

"Second Lady Hui, it's been two and a half hours since the eldest young master left the city, and according to the normal riding speed, he should have already entered the Black Wind Valley. The leader of the guards turned around and took a step closer to Si Bailan, his eyes also stopped looking at Xiao Cui, as if he didn't know him.

"Haven't you heard back yet?" Si Bailan nodded.

"Not yet, but second lady, please rest assured, I have sent a total of two groups of people this time, five of them pretending to be merchants on the road, and three pretending to be demon slayers, these eight people are all elites raised in the outer village, the eldest young master has never seen it, and there will be no chaos. ”

"How are these people?"

"There are six mid-grade masters, two of whom are mid-grade. ”

"Only two mid-grade ones?"

"Tang Si is not doing his job well, please forgive the second lady!" The leader of the guard immediately knelt down: "It's just that the eldest young master went out too suddenly, and it is too difficult to find a suitable high-grade master in a short period of time, after all, now in the Hou Mansion, even if the eldest young master is added, there are less than five high-grade realms, and the second lady said that she must ensure that she will not be recognized by the eldest young master, this haste is really ......."

"Alright, get up. Si Bailan waved her hand: "I know that this matter is a little difficult to do, but this time it is mainly a temptation, and besides, Yan Ning's trip can be regarded as a suicide path, rushing to the Black Wind Valley alone, even the gods can't save him!"

"The second lady is not missing, as far as I know, although the strength of the big demon in the Black Wind Valley is not as strong as the demon king, but it is cunning by nature, I don't know how many demon subduers died in its hands, when the eldest young master went out of the city, I had already ordered someone to release the news, and now Qingshan City knows that the eldest young master went to the Black Wind Valley to subdue the demon alone, even if there is an accident, no one will ever think that it was us who did it!" Tang Si did not get up immediately, but continued.

"Well, you have done a good job in this matter, if Yan Ning dies, then you will be the commander of the guard of this Hou Mansion!"

"Thank you, Second Madam!" Tang Si finally got up.

......

The mountain road to the Valley of the Black Wind.

Qianshan Snow was in the vast darkness, and at a glance, he saw Yan Ning who was covered in green light.

It's like a treasure suddenly appearing in the mountains at night, and it is difficult to see it even if you want to see it.

"Is Zhenyuan released?But Fujun obviously doesn't know martial arts?Could it be that Fujun still has some big secrets hidden in him?" After confirming Yan Ning's identity, Qianshan Xue was a little puzzled in her heart, but she didn't approach directly, because she wanted to see why Yan Ning came to Black Wind Valley alone.

In addition, there was another reason that she found that behind Yan Ning, there were three other figures who were also carefully following Yan Ning.

These three people are all dressed as typical demon slayers, and they all have 'peach wood beads' hanging around their waists that represent the identity of the demon slayer, looking at the number of beads, the strength is not bad, and the highest one has four beads, which shows that the number of monsters that died in their hands was at least no less than two digits.

However, the strength of the Four Beads Demon Subduing Master is basically to catch demons in some mountain villages, and it is somewhat irrational to run to a place like Black Wind Valley where monsters are gathered and there are big demons like this.

Of course, the most important thing is that Yan Ning's travel speed is really slow, and according to the foot speed of the Four Beads Demon Descending Master, he should have been able to reach Yan Ning's front a long time ago.

But the three of them have been following from afar.

Don't think about it.

These three demon slaying masters are here for Yan Ning.

"If nothing else, it should have been sent by the second lady of the Hou Mansion, right? Or even if it wasn't sent by the second lady, these three people should also have bad intentions towards the husband and the idea of beating the husband with money. "Qian Shanxue only thought about it for a moment, and determined that these three demon slaying masters were not good people.

So, she decided......

Kill these three people.

But at this moment, Yan Ning, who was bubbling with green light in front of him, stopped, and then, Yan Ning strode towards an inn on the side of the road.

"The husband did not enter the Black Wind Valley directly, but went straight into an inn at the mouth of the valley, it seems that there is no hesitation at all, is the husband not here to subdue the demon? Wait...... I seem to understand why my husband came to a place like Black Wind Valley late at night!" Qianshan Xue thought slightly, and instantly realized in his heart.

The husband has made an appointment to discuss the plan here!

As for what to discuss, Qianshan Xue could probably guess in her heart that there were nothing more than two points, one was how to deal with the second lady, and the other was related to the death of the old marquis.

Zhenbei Hou 'Yan Xiaotian' has been in the five mansions of Beichuan in the past eighteen years, what a heroic posture, but he was surrounded by the Beiliang army in a skirmish not long ago.

He was then shot with arrows.

Not only did it come suddenly, but it was too strange.

A skirmish that didn't need Yan Xiaotian to come forward at all, but Yan Xiaotian went, and this time he was plotted, if there is no hidden secret in this, it is really hard to believe.

"The husband is really smart, and deliberately used the Black Wind Valley as an excuse to avoid the second lady's eyes, but he acted like this...... What is the purpose? Could it be that the death of the old marquis has something to do with this second lady? Forget it, no matter what, the matter that the husband went to this inn to discuss with others, he must not let the second lady's eyes go back to report it!"

At the same time, the three demon slayers had also begun to approach cautiously in the direction of the inn.

"It seems that the guess is correct, these three people are indeed coming for the husband. The corners of Qianshan Xue's mouth raised, and she strode towards the position between the three demon slayer masters and the inn.

Going out tonight is a bit too rushed.

Qian Shanxue didn't have time to put on all the dresses, but just grabbed a white outer skirt in Hong'er's hand and put it on her body.

And such a skirt is extremely conspicuous when walking at night, so before she left the city, she knocked out a beggar begging at the city gate.

Then, after three times and five divisions, he stripped off the beggar's clothes, and put away the copper coins in the beggar's bowl, which was regarded as an emergency in the rivers and lakes.

After all, she didn't take money with her when she went out.

You can only borrow it first.

Just wait for a chance and return it.

This kind of thing is often done by Qianshan Xue, so there is no guilt.

Moreover, she knew the helmsman of the beggar gang in Qingshan City, even if the little beggar recognized her and ran to complain, it didn't matter.

If it's a big deal, I will beat the little beggar again, and I guess it will be honest.

Qianshan Xue walked out quickly, and was in front of the three demon slaying masters.

"Huh, there's a stinky beggar?"

"It's bad luck to meet a beggar so late!"

"Get out of here!"

When the three demon slayers saw Qianshan Xue, who happened to stop in front of the inn wrapped in gray and black shabby clothes, a look of impatience flashed in their eyes.

"Did the second lady send you to kill Yan Ning?" Qian Shanxue slowly raised her head.

"Huh?!" the three demon slayers were startled.

"The three don't need to be surprised, it's not that the second lady is not worried about the strength of the three, it's just that Yan Ning is a master of the upper grade realm after all, and this time she came to this Black Wind Valley alone, the opportunity is really rare, just in case, the second lady sent me over to help, in the next 'lonely and ruthless', it is the deputy hall master and the head of the beggar gang Beichuan Branch. Qianshan Xue smiled and said as she approached the three demon slayers.

The three demon slaying masters were all stunned after hearing Qianshan Xue's introduction.

The little beggar in front of him turned out to be a helping hand sent by the second lady? No wonder he was so bold, he saw through their identities at a glance, and then stopped directly in front of the three of them.

It's just that it is rumored that the deputy hall master of the Beichuan branch of the beggar gang is extremely mysterious, and besides, she is still a daughter, and the little beggar in front of her is ......

A thousand mountains of snow approached.

With a beautiful appearance and a fair face, such a beautiful girl, if it is an ordinary little beggar, they will not believe it.

The most important thing is that the other party came up and reported his home, this is not his own family, is it still some kind of charlatan?

"It turned out to be the Dugu Hall Master, I heard the name of the Dugu Hall Master for a long time, and when I saw it today, I didn't expect the Duhu Hall Master to be so young. The three demon slayers were relieved.

"The three brothers are too polite, and the little false name is not enough to worry about, but, for the sake of prudence, I also need to confirm the identity of the three, after all, I only obey the orders of the second lady, and the three seem to be ...... But it's a little faced?" Qianshan Xue lifted the cloak covering his head, revealing long black and beautiful hair.

Under the moonlight.

It's so beautiful that it makes people tremble.

One of the demon slaying masters was directly stunned, and blurted out without thinking about it: "The three of us and the others are all raised in Waizhuang, and they are under the orders of Tang Commander, and the Dugu Hall Master has not seen it, which is normal." ”
