Yu Xin came quickly.

The two looked at each other, and as soon as they made contact, Shen Muzhi bowed his head slightly, avoided his gaze, and bowed his hand, and said, "Down there is Xuan Cheng's friend Gong Yi, presumably Elder Yu should have heard Xuan Cheng mention it." Elder Yu is invited to come over, there is something I want to ask you to help with. Saying that, it didn't mean that he was new to answer, so Shen Muzhi directly pointed out the key point: "The people of the Zhengyang faction have arrested Xuancheng's apprentice. ”

Yu Xin was stunned for a moment, then frowned, and asked in a deep voice, "Are you sure?"

Shen Muzhi nodded: "It's basically certain." ”

"What about Xuancheng people?" Yu Xin asked again.

"He was led away by the people of the Zhengyang faction. Shen Muzhi replied.

Yu Xin pursed his lips and was silent, his expression kept changing in his squinted eyes, and after a while, he asked Shen Muzhi, "How do you want me to help you?"

Yu Xin's simplicity made Shen Mu's heart feel a little relieved. He raised his eyes slightly and said, "Let the people of the Zhengyang faction release Xuancheng's apprentice." ”

Yu Xin looked at him and didn't answer. On the calm face, there is not much emotion to be seen.

Shen Mu's heart was slightly apprehensive, but on the face with the mask, there was also no change in emotion.

Suddenly, Yu Xin asked, "Are you still wearing that jade pendant?"

Shen Muzhi was slightly startled in his heart, but he asked quietly in his mouth: "What jade pendant?" As soon as the words fell, Yu Xin suddenly reached out and slapped Shen Muzhi's chest.

Probably because it was new, or maybe because there was no killing intent in this palm, Shen Muzhi was defenseless, and he was caught off guard, and when he reacted, it was too late to dodge.

The white light on his waist was revealed, and Shen Muzhi was instantly protected inside.

And Yu Xin's palm is a touch. Looking at the white light that was fading in front of Shen Muzhi's body, his expression had already become complicated.

Shen Muzhi knew that he recognized it.

The palm just now was just for temptation. Now that Yu Xin has gotten the answer, it is useless for him to deny it.

However, before coming to Yu Xin, Shen Muzhi had already considered the result of being identified by Yu Xin, so it was quite calm.

"How have you been all these years?" Yu Xin looked at him for a while and asked him gently.

Shen Muzhi lowered his eyes, and after a moment of silence, he raised his eyes to look at Yu Xin and said, "Elder Yu, now is not the time to catch up with the past. If you are willing to help, then please go and communicate with the people of the Zhengyang Sect and ask them to let the child go. That female disciple of the Zhengyang Sect was not killed by us, but if they must settle this account on our heads, it doesn't matter, but using a child as a means is too inferior, and it is really not worthy of the identity of you famous and decent families!"

As he spoke, the emotions in his eyes had disappeared at this time. Wearing the mask, he stood there at the moment, his expression as calm as if all the old things were just a nightmare.

Seeing him like this, Yu Xin couldn't help but smile bitterly. Immediately, he nodded in response: "Okay, I'll go find them now." However, when this is over, can you find a place to sit down and have a conversation?"

"We'll talk about that then. Shen Muzhi looked at him for a while and said lightly.

After Yu Xinyan sighed, he asked, "What do you say when you wait for me here?"

Shen Muzhi thought for a moment and said, "That's it." ”

"Good. I will try as soon as possible. After Yu Xin finished speaking, he took a deep look at him before leaving King Qing's Mansion.

As soon as he walked with his front foot, Shen Mu left the Qingwang Mansion with his back foot.

Ten years have passed, everything has changed, he is no longer a closed disciple of Zhao Zhengguang, the peak master of Zhengyang Peak of the Great Sword Gate, but an outcast who has been expelled from the Great Sword Gate, so it may not be possible whether Yu Xin is still the Yu Xin who will defend him back then.

Therefore, for the sake of prudence, he couldn't just stay and wait in King Qing's Mansion.

However, Shen Muzhi did not go far, but found a place near Qingwangfu that was not only hidden, but also could just look at the situation at the gate of Qingwangfu and hid.

This time Yu Xin has been gone for a long time.

Watching the sun gradually sink in the west and the sunset gradually dyed the sky red, Shen Muzhi's heart became more and more uneasy.

He was worried about Xuan Cheng.

Finally, after the sun had completely sunk, Yu Xin returned.

After Shen Muzhi watched him enter the Qingwang Mansion, he waited for a while and made sure that there was nothing suspicious around the Qingwang Mansion before he came out of the hiding place and entered the Qingwang Mansion as usual.

Yu Xin was already waiting in the gazebo, and he seemed to have guessed that he would definitely come, and it would be soon, so he was not in a hurry at all.

After seeing Shen Mu, he smiled slightly and said, "People will be sent back to her house before nightfall." The Zhengyang Sect also promised not to pursue the matter further, but they wanted you to explain the situation to them in person. ”

Shen Muzhi was about to put down his thoughts, but he instantly lifted them up again. He furrowed his brows, stared at Yu Xin, and said, "Do you want to explain in person?"

Yu Xin smiled bitterly and said, "You can't trust me like that?"

Shen Muzhi was silent for a moment and said, "I trusted you too much back then. ”

Yu Xin was stunned for a moment, then his expression sank slightly, and said: "You should actually know that what happened back then, that kind of result, was not what your master wanted, he has done his best, you can't blame him." ”

Shen Muzhi looked at him for a while, then lowered his head and laughed, and did not answer.

Seeing him like this, Yu Xin was silent for a moment, then sighed slightly, and said, "On the side of the Zhengyang faction, it's up to you whether you want to meet or not." However, my opinion is that since this matter is a misunderstanding, it is better to make it clear. You and Xuan Cheng don't need to have one more enemy for nothing, I think, it's not a good thing for you either, right?"

Shen Muzhi turned his head to look at the sky, and after a little groaning, he said, "I'll go to the child's house and wait first." Hopefully they'll talk, and before nightfall, I'll see the kid go back. ”

"Good. Yu Xin didn't persuade him again.

Shen Muzhi turned around and left, and after taking two steps, he thought for a while, but stopped, turned around, looked at Yu Xin, and said seriously: "Thank you." ”

Yu Xin smiled and said, "You saved Changying, and I should help, no need to say thank you." ”

"The fact that I'm still alive, I think if it gets out, it may not be a good thing for me and for you Zhengyang Peak. Therefore, I hope that Elder Yu can keep it secret for me, and don't mention it to anyone, including ......" At this point, Shen Muzhi suddenly paused. In the depths of his eyes, a faint light flickered, and then quickly annihilated, "Lord Zhao Feng and He Xian." ”

Yu Xin looked at him, and after a while, he nodded and said, "Okay." I promise you. ”

When Shen Muzhi heard this, he arched his hand towards him to show his gratitude, and then turned around and left.

Although the matter has been resolved, on the way back to the outer city from the inner city, Shen Muzhi was not in a good mood. Yu Xin's sentence 'That result is not what your master wants...... is like a needle piercing his heart, as long as he touches it, it hurts.

Over the years, it is impossible to say that he has no resentment in his heart.

It's just that, as Yu Xin said, he actually knows that the master has done his best back then, and they have done their best. Su Hua's result was caused by his fault, not everyone else's.

But many times, if he wants to live, he may need to deceive himself a little, and rely on resentment of those who have defended him everywhere to breathe.

All the way, muddy. Before he knew it, he had passed through the inner city gate and walked to the intersection of Xiheng Street and Nanzhi Street. The loud cries of passing vendors pulled him back from his painful contemplation.

The noise in his ears gradually woke up, and the wind with the smell of fireworks in the world gradually pulled him out of the pain that was about to indulge him.

Shen Muzhi took a deep breath, suppressed all the emotions in his heart, and turned around and entered Xiheng Street.

At this point, twilight has arrived.

The door of the Xu family's courtyard was closed, and no movement could be heard inside.

Shen Muzhi looked around and no one was paying attention, jumped over the wall, and landed in the courtyard.

Everything in the yard seems a little messy. The doors of the three tiled houses were wide open, and some things were scattered inside and outside the doors. After Shen Muzhi glanced at it, he couldn't help frowning. After checking it out, he was basically sure that after his intimidation during the day, the widow of the Xu family was probably worried that he was coming to the door to find trouble, so she immediately fled with her son.

Even since they left by themselves, rather than being taken away, Shen Muzhi no longer cared. He found a stool, sat down in the courtyard, looked at the sky, and waited quietly for the people from the Zhengyang faction to send the Xu family girl back.

However, until it was dark, no one was seen.

Shen Muzhi's face was the same as this day, and it also darkened.

Did Yu Xin deceive him?

Shen Muzhi felt unlikely.

So, it was the people of the Zhengyang faction who deceived Yu Xin?

Shen Muzhi still felt unlikely. Yu Xin is not an ordinary person, as a powerful person under the master of Zhengyang Peak of the Great Sword Gate, he is also a person with considerable status in the circle of the Mountain Sect.

The Zhengyang faction either simply refused to release him, but since he promised that he would release him, it was unlikely that he would go back on his word, otherwise, not only would he have made an enmity with him with a new face, but even Zhao Zhengguang's face was trampled under his feet.

The Zhengyang faction should not do this.

Since it wasn't Yu Xin who deceived him, and it wasn't someone from the Zhengyang faction who deceived Yu Xin, what was the reason why this Xu family girl hadn't been sent back for a long time at this time?

After Shen Muzhi probably looked back on the whole thing, he thought of Long Yi.

The people of the Zhengyang faction are not familiar with the situation in Lancheng, and without Long Yi's help, the people of the Zhengyang faction would not even be able to associate Dao Xuan and Dao Cheng with him and Xuan Cheng. Moreover, holding a powerless child hostage, this kind of thing, the Zhengyang faction should not be able to do it themselves.

Therefore, the people were taken away by the dragon one.

So, after taking it away, was it directly handed over to the people of the Zhengyang faction, or was it actually in the hands of Long Yi all the time?

Shen Muzhi felt that the latter was more likely.

So now, the Zhengyang faction has promised to release people, but in the hands of Long Yi, what if Long Yi refuses......

Shen Muzhi raised his eyes and looked at the sky. In the deep night sky, there are no stars, and the ink-like darkness makes people feel depressed.

Ryuichi, where are you?

Shen Muzhi narrowed his eyes slightly, and at the bottom of his eyes, a sinister color flashed.
