Zhao Yuxiang stopped in front of the study, he took a breath, and was about to reach out to push the door, when the deep voice of the old housekeeper Zhao Yang sounded beside him: "Master." 【Fengyun Reading Network.】"

Zhao Yuxiang looked sideways, and Zhao Yang looked at him with a concerned expression.

"Zhao Yang, what's wrong?"

"Master, it's so late, you're walking around alone, do you have something important?"

"Well, I'm fine, I can't sleep at night, come out for a walk, why don't you go to sleep?"

Zhao Yang looked at the old man worriedly, the slaves in the Zhuangzi disappeared overnight, and the old man seemed to have changed his temper in the past two years, and he personally led the ladies to go up the mountain to dig gold, this thing was already very weird, and the doubts in his heart had already accumulated into a boulder, and he wanted to ask the master why, but every time he just raised his head, he scolded the master and retreated.

Zhao Yang leaned close to Zhao Yuxiang's ear and said in a low voice: "Master, I just received a report from the spies, saying that Xiaoyaozi, one of the most famous killers in the rivers and lakes, and his apprentice Xiong Chen are already at the foot of the mountain, and it seems that they want to explore the villa at night. ”

Zhao Yuxiang snorted disapprovingly, and said: "Xiaoyaozi? is that unpopular killer who is not a man or a woman? There are many people in our Zhuangzi who are more powerful than him, and he can't jump into any waves, if he doesn't measure himself and insists on going up the mountain to make trouble, just let the secret guards in Zhuangzi punish him." ”

Zhao Yang hesitated for a moment and said: "We all know the details of this Xiaoyaozi, so naturally we don't have to worry about him, but the new apprentice Xiong Chen he recently acquired... Master, Xiong Chen, it's Xiong Chen who you've been sending people to monitor your movements for the past two years, do you have any impression?"

Zhao Yuxiang's back was cold, and the back of his hand suddenly trembled, by the way, he almost forgot that Fairy Xiaolan asked him to collect Xiong Chen's news every month, and Xiaoyaozi could ignore it, but this Xiong Chen is the person that this fairy fancies, but he really has some origins.

Zhao Yang continued: "I heard that more than ten days ago, Li Tianwei of Li Jiadun died in the hands of Xiong Chen, the apprentice of Xiaoyaozi, and was killed with a sword...... Looks like this guy is not a good person!"

Zhao Yuxiang laughed a few times, what is the difference between a person who is not good and a person who is friendly? Anyway...... If this person comes, he will naturally be involved with that Xiaolan fairy, this fairy hides well on weekdays, and he doesn't even show half of his shadow, but when this man named Xiong Chen comes, she will never hide anymore, and it is not her turn to take care of this matter.

Zhao Yuxiang stretched out his hand and patted Zhao Yang's shoulder, and said, "I know, but if you think about it carefully, although our Jiudao Villa is ...... It's a lot quieter, but there's still a bottomless deep sea inside, and now that you've learned the news, and believe you've made arrangements, what am I worried about? As long as he's not here to make trouble, let him go!"

Zhao Yang said: "But according to the latest report of our spies, that Xiaoyaozi did not go up the mountain, it was his apprentice, Xiong Chen, the origin of this Xiong Chen...... The old slave guessed that this person had come to look for trouble, so he should not be taken lightly. ”

Zhao Yuxiang kept kneading his eyebrows, only to feel a splitting headache.

Zhao Yang glanced at the old man meaningfully, and his voice was lowered: "This Xiong Chen is the slave who was bought by us in Wang Yuanwai's house two years ago, does the master have any memory? Xiong Chen had just bought the palace, and Xiaoyaozi appeared and killed Wang Yuanwai and took him away." ”

"No, no, there are no slaves left in Jiudao Villa. ”

Zhao Yuxiang waved his hand irritably, and said: "You don't have to worry about this, he will come if he wants to come, he will leave if he wants, everything will go naturally, it's not early, you have to go up the mountain tomorrow morning, you better go back to the room to rest!"

"Yes...... However, that Xiong Chen did not come to the villa at this moment, but went to the back mountain. That kid is very agile, and several of our secret guards in Zhuangzi have been discovered by him...... Also ......"

Zhao Yuxiang frowned: "What's the matter?"

Zhao Yang leaned close to Zhao Yuxiang's ear and said, "There are a few secret guards who intercepted and killed that kid with a sword." ”

Cold sweat broke out on Zhao Yuxiang's forehead, and he said in a trembling voice: "Killed?

"That is, according to the report of the spies, that kid was so quick to draw his sword that our secret guard killed him without even having a chance to draw his sword...... He has been walking back and forth on the back mountain, as if looking for something, and then jumped into the canyon of the back mountain, and our people did not dare to move, but just watched from a distance, owner, what do you think?"

Zhao Yuxiang laughed dryly, looked up at the sky, and found that the previous bright sky had darkened somehow.

"Well, then continue to monitor from a distance, maybe that kid is just a whim, and he will naturally leave when the day dawns, so we should not provoke him, so as not to increase unnecessary casualties." ”

"Yes, but if he doesn't leave, how about sneaking into the inner village later?"

The crutches in Zhao Yuxiang's hand rattled: "How is it good? Do you need to ask me? The secret guards in Zhuangzi are all people with superb martial arts, so they naturally intercept them with all their might, so that he can retreat in the face of difficulties...... However, don't hurt his life, just let him get out of the way. ”

Zhao Yang didn't dare to say any more, bowed down, and said, "Yes." ”

A deafening thunderclap suddenly sounded in the sky, only startling the two people who were talking, Zhao Yuxiang walked to the eaves, raised his eyes to look at the sudden change in the weather, and said: "Look, it's going to rain heavily, no matter how superb a person's martial arts are, they can't withstand God's wind, rain, thunder and lightning, there is no shelter from the rain in the back mountain, that kid will definitely not stay for a long time, you don't need to worry." ”

The heavy rain fell as soon as he said it, and the whirring wind carried raindrops the size of beans to the ground, Zhao Yuxiang patted Zhao Yang's shoulder and said: "With this timely rain, the kid surnamed Xiong won't have any trouble tonight, as for the Xiaoyaozi who is guarding under the mountain, you wait for the rain to lighten, send someone to find him, and let him take his apprentice away as soon as possible." ”

"I heard that this Xiaoyaozi doesn't eat soft and hard. ”

Zhao Yuxiang snorted and said: "As long as it is a human being, there is a weakness, I have heard before that this person is alone, high and arrogant, but he is willing to hide in the valley for a slave and carefully teach him to practice swords, it can be seen that this Xiong Chen is his weakness, you start from this aspect, let him obediently take Xiong Chen away!"

"Sir...... Why don't you kill these two people with a single sword, isn't this an eternal disaster?"

Zhao Yuxiang seemed to be choked, if it was placed two years ago, he would naturally raise his thick eyebrows, and said coldly: "Such a trivial matter, it is still used to annoy me, if anyone dares to approach Jiudao Mountain Villa for half a step, there will be no forgiveness!"

But now...... There is a god three feet on his head, and although the anger in his heart is rolling, he just laughs twice: "God has the virtue of a good life, and when I reach this age, I should also accumulate virtue for myself, isn't it?"

Zhao Yangvino retreated.

Xiong Chen is like a vigorous cheetah, sneaking in the canyon of the back mountain.

The canyon was rocky, overgrown with weeds and shrubs, with a few winding streams flowing through dense gaps, and the air was filled with the fragrance of a hundred herbs, not the eerie fear he had imagined.

Xiong Chen's eyebrows twisted slightly, he remembered the scene of carrying the mud and sand excavated from the cave in those years, staggering more than ten miles of rugged mountain roads, walking to the top of the canyon, and then pouring the mud and sand into the canyon.

Most of the people who fell down were sand, gravel and mud, but every day there were always a few unfortunate corpses that were crushed to death by the boulders in the cave, or the corpses of slaves who died of exhaustion and violence, accumulated over time, this canyon would definitely be a Shura dojo, but now what he saw under the moonlit night was a quiet place.

Xiong Chen's long sword swept the long grass beside him, and after the bang, the dark soil was exposed, his sword was inserted into the mud, and he quickly dug the mud layer under his feet, and the wet mud was thrown outward with the shaking of the sword, Xiong Chen took out his sword, changed places, and dug again.

Dozens of large and small mud pits were dug one after another, and all he saw was clean dirt, and there were no human bones in it. He leaned over and picked up a handful of dirt and put it under his nose to smell it, and all that seeped into his nose was the smell of clean earth.

Xiong Chen's face showed a look of surprise, this is impossible, what about the corpses of the slaves who were dumped under the canyon? Even if they were really eaten by the wild wolves and beasts in the canyon, they should have left some traces, but this canyon looked refreshing and refreshing, without the slightest unpleasant smell and terrifying scenery.

He walked all the way down the canyon, seeing the same scenery along the way, and not seeing any ferocious beasts pounce on him.

Xiong Chen stopped in front of a stream, and he placed his sword in the water to wash away the dirt that had just been contaminated.

The silver-white moonlight passed through the canopy of the trees beside him, and a few faint points were faintly dropped, Xiong Chen's eyes looked at the cold light of the long sword shaking in the water, and his heart suddenly ached.

There's nothing in this canyon!..... Xiao Lan's remains, it seems that he can't find them.

The green tendons on the back of his hand bulged out, and he couldn't find it...... My beloved girl disappeared into this world forever and silently, and if I hadn't proposed to escape, maybe we would still be able to stay together in Jiudao Villa.

But I really hope to take her out of this man-eating cave that doesn't spit out bones, she grows up day by day, her appearance changes day by day, staying in this sinister place, she will definitely be coveted by people with bad intentions, how can I watch this day come?

I'd rather die two years ago under the stick, not only her, but me......

But in the end, it was I who came back to life and she was gone.

Xiong Chen picked up the long sword from the stream, looked up to the sky and screamed in pain, turned back and walked back and forth, since he came, he didn't plan to leave immediately, he must go to this Jiudao Villa, it is better to pick the day than to hit the sun, tonight is a good time to visit the village.
