Raindrops fell on the windowsill, splashing water one after another. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe intermittent sound of rain, accompanied by the sound of a thin breeze hitting the windows, disturbed people's minds. In the midst of the noise, Xinlan opened her eyes.

She was lying in a strange room. Look out the window, through the curtain of rain, there is only a gloomy sky. She felt as if she had slept for a long time and had a long dream. She vaguely remembered that someone had brought her here, and who was that? Xinlan touched her head, still in a groggy state. But slowly, she finally remembered that person's name - Li Que.

Xinlan stood up and walked to the windowsill. Outside the house is a quiet street with few pedestrians. The blue bricks and black tiles on both sides of the street made her recognize that this was in Jiangnan. It was Li Que who brought her here, but where is Li Que now?

Someone is knocking on the door. Xinlan opened the door and saw a shopkeeper standing outside the house. The shopkeeper was holding a plate of food on the second-hand side, and as soon as he saw Xinlan, he said with a smile on his face: "Female guest officer, are you really awake?" The guest officer said that you should be able to wake up today, so he asked the shop to prepare dinner for you. As he spoke, he brought the meal to the table.

Xinlan asked, "Where is the guest officer now?" ”

The shopkeeper replied: "Oh, I don't know about this little one." He instructed the shop to wait for you, and paid for the next three days, without saying where to go. You know that we open a store, and we never ask the customer where they come from or where they are going. ”

Xinlan asked, "How long have we lived here?" ”

The shopkeeper replied, "It's been ten days." But it's strange to say that you were already unconscious when you came, and you have been lying in bed for the past ten days. The guest officer did not need a bed or a separate room, but preferred to make a bunk in this corner. We all said, since we are a family, why not just sleep in the same bed? ”

Xinlan was suddenly startled.

The shopkeeper thought that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly said, "Of course, the little one doesn't dare to ask more." There are all kinds of things going back and forth from south to north. Guest, you use it slowly! The little one retired first, and if there was anything to be told, he was told. ”

The shopkeeper withdrew. Xinlan sat back on the edge of the bed, looking at the food on the table, and couldn't help but think of the scene in the Huashan Inn. Since then, Li Que has not wanted to see her again, even if he took her to Jiangnan and healed her injuries, he still had to avoid her. Ke Xinlan secretly laughed and thought, "If you want to avoid me, then hide!" ”

A few days later, at the Purple Mountain Villa in Jinling, Jiangsu, a large table of banquets was being set up in the courtyard. There were only three people sitting on the table, with a full face and beard in the center, who was the owner of the Purple Mountain Villa, making a pair of purple and gold ringed Huang Duo; The one on the left has a mustache, and he is the head of the silver spear door, and Bai Shaolong, who makes a Xuanying spear; The one on the right is younger, and he is Nie Huai, the new head of Monkey Mountain. This is exactly the three people who asked Li Que about Ye Feng's whereabouts when the Huashan Divine Soldiers decided, but in the end they were beaten by Li Que to the ground. Now, they're getting together and drinking in high spirits. Behind them, there were seven or eight disciples of each sect.

Huang Duo was already drunk, raised his hand and pointed into the distance, and said, "Recently, there were rumors that Ye Feng appeared in Hanzhong and fought with Qin Yi. As a result, he was beaten and fled. ”

Nie Huai was also confused, and asked, "Isn't the Meteor Knife an example?" Why did you still ask Ye Feng to escape? ”

Bai Shaolong said with a smile: "The Meteor Knife is just a vain name!" Qin Yi has become a defeated general under the leader of Zhongli's alliance in Huashan. As long as Zhongli Alliance Master comes out, Qin Yi and Ye Feng will not be a problem. ”

Nie Huai said: "All of our factions in the Central Plains have a great enmity with Ye Feng. In the battle of Tongguan, he killed hundreds of us again. If I catch him, I will tear him to pieces!" ”

Bai Shaolong nodded and said, "Not only do you want to break him into ten thousand pieces, but you also have to take the Xiyue Sword in his hand." ”

Nie Huai asked, "According to the two of you, is the Xiyue Sword really in Ye Feng's hand?" ”

Huang Duo and Bai Shaolong were silent for a moment, then laughed again, and said, "When Ye Feng is caught, you will know when you ask." ”

Nie Huai also laughed with joy. The three of them burst into laughter. Laughing and laughing, only to find that there was an extra laugh, like a woman's laughter. The three of them followed the prestige, and saw that on the roof opposite, there was really a woman in black, that was Xinlan.

Nie Huai slapped the table, stood up, pointed at Xinlan, and shouted, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Xinlan said: "I laugh at you for not doing your best, and you still want to catch Ye Feng." ”

The three of them were furious, and the wine also woke up. Huang Duo said, "I know you! You are the little girl who was with Li Que in Huashan! ”

Bai Shaolong and Nie Huai also remembered: "Wow! It turned out to be her! This girl must also be in the same group as Ye Feng. We took her first, and then tortured Ye Feng's whereabouts. ”

Xinlan waved her hand and said, "Don't talk nonsense there!" I am the left-wing envoy of the dignified Eagle Sect, so I don't care about Ye Feng or Li Que. ”

"What? Are you an Eagle Sect? Huang Duo was taken aback and asked, "Then what are you doing here tonight?" ”

Xinlan shook her finger and said, "Let's take a look at the ugly appearance of you Central Plains people." ”

"Presumptuous!" Huang Duo drank heavily, slapped through the wine table with one palm, and then threw out a purple gold ring. Xinlan rolled over and dodged, and landed on the ground. Immediately one or twenty disciples rushed around. Xinlan naturally doesn't take these little minions in her eyes, and leisurely shuttles between these dozens of hands and feet, which is better than a leisurely stroll, and occasionally flies up with a kick, she can kick down two or three people.

Suddenly, a fist emerged from the crowd. Xinlan took it with one hand, and found that the power of this punch was sufficient, not like the level of a minion, and then looked at it, it turned out to be Nie Huai's monkey fist. Although Nie Huai is the head of Monkey Mountain, his skills are not as good as his late master Bao Dahai, so how easy is it to hit Xinlan, who is as dexterous as a swallow? The more you can't hit, the more impatient you are; The more impatient I feel in my heart, the more I can't hit.

Bai Shaolong had already itched his hands when he saw it on the side, and he picked up the Xuanying gun and assassinated him. Xinlan is one against two, and gradually feels struggling. With her skills, it is not easy to win, but it is still quite easy to leave. But the strange thing is that Xinlan didn't have the slightest intention of running away, but was more interested, and said with a smile while fighting: "So many people can't help me, is this what you Central Plains people are capable of?" ”

Just as Xinlan was dealing with the Monkey Fist and the Xuanying Gun with all her might, another purple gold ring flew in. Xinlan hurriedly flipped back, and although she dodged the purple gold ring, the Xuanying spear had already hit her left shoulder. Xinlan shuddered and fell to the ground. Nie Huai took the opportunity to rush up, locked Xinlan's throat, and gritted his teeth and said, "Now, see if we have no choice but to get you!" ”

Xinlan covered her wounds, but still smiled: "Don't be complacent, I have a helper." ”

Bai Shaolong also smiled, but he sneered: "Even if we bring all the people from your Eagle Sect, we are not afraid." ”

Xinlan said: "Do you still need us to teach the eagle to come out of the horse? There's one guy who can beat you up. ”

Huang Duo, Bai Shaolong, and Nie Huai looked at each other and asked, "Who?" ”

Xinlan said, "Are you so forgetful? On Huashan, who beat you down with one enemy and three? ”

Nie Huai was annoyed and angry, and said, "Sharp teeth and sharp mouth, see if I break your teeth now!" ”

Just as Nie Huai swung his fist at Xinlan's mouth, he suddenly heard someone shouting, "Slow! At the same time, the door of Purple Mountain Villa was pushed open with a "bang", and a person walked in from outside the door, with a slight lame left leg and a knife in his left hand. Nie Huai's heart immediately trembled, and even Huang Duo and Bai Shaolong became nervous. Even if they don't know this person, it is impossible not to know the knife in his hand, it is this knife that knocked the three of them down together in Huashan, this is the Maitreya knife. The one with the knife, of course, is Li Que.

The atmosphere suddenly became much more solemn, only Xinlan was full of joy and said, "Look, my helper is here." ”

Huang Duo asked: "Li Que, we didn't go looking for you, you came by yourself." Are you here today because you want to wash my Purple Mountain Villa in blood? ”

Li Que pointed at Xinlan and said, "You can't hurt her." ”

Bai Shaolong scolded: "Li Que! You first secretly communicated with Ye Feng, and now you have become a lackey of the Eagle Sect? ”

Huang Duo also said: "Don't forget, the Eagle Sect and my Central Plains Martial Arts are incompatible. At the beginning, your righteous brother Su Qing had an affair with the Eagle Sect Witch, which was shameful for the righteous people in the world, and in the end, he still fell into a rage and died. Do you want to repeat the same mistakes now? ”

Li Que said: "This is a matter between me and her, and you don't need to worry about it." If you let her go today, I will not trouble you. ”

Bai Shaolong shouted: "What a big breath! Do you really think we're all afraid of you? Brother Huang, virtuous nephew, let's go together, I don't believe that we can't beat him as a cripple! But when he had finished saying this, no one did anything.

Bai Shaolong turned his head to look at Nie Huai, the hand that locked Xinlan was trembling. Bai Shaolong couldn't help but shout angrily at Nie Huai: "Hey! You were the most angry just now, why are you wilting now? ”

Nie Huai whispered: "Master Bai, for the sake of this girl, I will fight with that guy, and I can't do it!" ”

"You!" Of course, Bai Shaolong was angry, but he also knew in his heart that this was indeed not worth it.

Huang Duo stepped forward and said to Li Que: "It's okay if we want us to let her go, but you have to think clearly, from now on, you will be a fellow member of the Eagle Sect!" He gave Nie Huai a look.

Nie Huai let go of his hand and pushed Xinlan forward.

Xinlan swaggered to Li Que's side. Li Que didn't look at Xinlan, only thanked Huang Duo and the others, and then turned around and left. Xinlan followed behind Li Que, and when she walked out of the door, she didn't forget to turn around and make a grimace at those Central Plains people.

Bai Shaolong thrust the Xuanying spear into the ground and said, "Hmph! It's annoying! ”

Huang Duo said: "Don't worry, wait for me to make Li Que's collusion with the Eagle Sect public, and then inform the leader of the alliance of his whereabouts." When the time comes, there will be his good fruit to eat! ”

After leaving the Purple Mountain Villa, Li Que still did not speak to Xinlan, but kept walking in the direction of Jinling City. Xinlan followed behind Li Que comfortably. When approaching the gate of Jinling City, Li Que finally couldn't bear it anymore, stopped, turned around and asked, "What are you still following me for?" ”

Xinlan smiled: "I follow you? I'm weird too. I remember that I was in Miaojiang before, why did I go to Jiangnan now? ”

Li Que replied: "It was you who was seriously injured at the beginning, so I took you here to seek treatment from a famous doctor in Jiangnan. Now that you are healed, I should have nothing to do with you. ”

Xinlan asked again: "Even if I am injured and want to die, it has nothing to do with you!" And why did you save me? ”

Li Que replied: "I, Li Que, am not a person who sees death and cannot be saved, but I saw that you were in a predicament, so I came to the rescue." ”

Xinlan nodded and said, "Yes." I know that you are not a person who will not be saved when you see death, so if I am bullied by those Central Plains people, you will definitely stand up. ”

Li Que said: "So, you deliberately went to the Purple Mountain Villa to make trouble, and let Huang Duo and others capture you, the purpose is nothing more than to lure me to appear." ”

Xinlan put her hands behind her back, looked up at the sky, and said, "If you didn't say goodbye, why would I be like this?" ”

Li Que said: "If you make such a fuss, everyone in the world thinks that I am secretly in harmony with the Eagle Sect, making me the target of everyone." ”

Xinlan patted Li Que on the shoulder and said, "Forget it!" You've already been targeted. ”

Li Que pushed Xinlan's hand away and was about to continue, but he stopped, because at this moment, he saw that behind Xinlan, in the direction of Purple Mountain Villa, it was the fire that was soaring into the sky, dyeing the sky red.

Li Que's surprised eyes made Xinlan turn around as well, and then, Xinlan exclaimed, "Wow! Isn't that the mountain lodge we just visited? How did it catch fire? You can see it from so far away! ”

Li Que hurried back, but his legs and feet were really not very convenient, but Xinlan's light skills were first-class. Xinlan said, "I'd better take you away!" Li Que had no choice but to hold Xinlan's hand at this time. The two returned to Purple Mountain Villa together.

The villa had turned into a sea of flames, and even the plaque on the gate had been burned. Li Que rushed into the courtyard and saw that all the disciples of the Purple Mountain Villa were lying on the ground, so he said to himself, "Why don't you see Huang Duo? ”

"There!" Xinlan pointed in a certain direction and whispered in reply.

Li Que looked in the direction that Xin Lan was pointing, and in the hall of the Purple Mountain Villa, Huang Duo was standing with his back against the wall, his eyes wide, motionless, each holding a purple gold ring on each hand, one of which had been broken, and the other was bent and deformed. Li Que and Xinlan ran to Huang Duo to take a look, and it turned out that Huang Duo had lost his breath.

Xinlan couldn't help asking: "I was alive just now, how can I say that I am dead?" She looked around again, "What about the other two sects?" Can't they beat us, so they start fighting themselves? ”

Li Que replied: "No. With Bai Shaolong and Nie Huai's martial arts, it was not enough to destroy the Purple Mountain Villa. It's been almost two hours since we left. During this period, the people of Silver Spear Gate and Monkey Mountain may have left first, and then the murderer came to Purple Mountain Villa. ”

Xinlan asked, "Who is the murderer?" ”

Li Que shook his head, and suddenly, he remembered something: "Not good! If the Purple Mountain Villa is destroyed, then the next one is likely to be Silver Spear Gate or Monkey Mountain. ”

Xinlan said, "Alas! Whatever! They're not your friends anyway. ”

Li Que said: "I said, I will not die and will not be saved. Although they had some trouble with me, they just wanted to ask Ye Feng's whereabouts, and they didn't hurt me. ”

Xinlan hurriedly said, "Okay! All right! I know! I know! So which one do we go to first? ”

Li Que said: "The Silver Spear Gate is in Changzhou, only four hundred miles away from here, let's go to the Silver Spear Gate first." ”

So, Li Que and Xinlan went to Changzhou day and night. The next afternoon, they arrived at the Silver Spear Gate. But once again, they were amazed by what they saw. In the drizzle in the south of the Yangtze River, the Silver Spear Gate was like the Purple Mountain Villa last night, burning with a raging fire.

It seems that it is still a step too late. Li Que rushed into the sea of fire, and what he saw was Bai Shaolong nailed high to the door beam, his limbs spread out, and it was the Xuanying spear he used that nailed him. Li Que pulled out the Xuanying spear and unloaded Bai Shaolong's corpse.

Xinlan sighed and said, "I didn't expect to die under my own weapon in the end." ”

Li Que said: "This gun was nailed after he died, otherwise, his hands would have grabbed the handle of the gun tightly." ”

Xinlan looked at Bai Shaolong's body from head to toe again, and found no other wounds except for the wound that was nailed by the gun, so she asked, "Where is the wound that killed him?" ”

"Here." I saw Li Que press his finger to Bai Shaolong's throat, and a stream of blood immediately rushed out from under his finger, revealing a wound as thin as a hair.

Xinlan asked, "What weapon can make such a thin wound?" ”

Li Que replied: "An ordinary sword will do." It's just that because the shot is fast, the person is already dead before the blood can be sprayed, and the blood is coagulated. ”

Xinlan asked again, "How fast is that?" Who in the world can be so fast? ”

Li Que replied: "I, or, him." ”

"Him?" A name immediately flashed in Xinlan's mind, "You mean, Ye Feng?" ”

Li Que didn't answer, because the questions in his heart were increasing, making it impossible for him to make judgments easily. All he could do was to set off immediately and rush to Monkey Mountain as fast as he could.

The rain in the south of the Yangtze River is getting heavier and heavier.
