Under the leadership of Su 17 and Yan 16, Xi Yutang followed them down from the other side of the mountain to the bottom of the valley, and then walked through a long tunnel in the mountain, and then came to another deep valley bottom that suddenly opened up.

The name of the valley is green valley, the valley is perennial miasma, from the top down can only see the thick white fog, there is no specific miasma antidote, touch it will die. The green mountains on both sides of the valley are full of cliffs, and even people with high martial arts skills cannot come and go freely from such cliffs, and they can only go through tunnels to enter and exit.

Xi Yutang ate the miasma antidote given to her by Su Qiqi, and followed him and Yan Shivi Qinggong all the way into a certain tower that was seven stories high.

She showed Meng Shisan's name, and accurately called out Su Shi's name, and even found a place where they played chess every month, and in order to confirm their identity, they also danced a piece of Meng Shisan's swordsmanship on the spot, which was recognized.

The two tokens, the iron one came from Meng Thirteen, and the wooden token was imitated by her based on Meng Thirteen's token and the half token she got from Ouyang Xuan. In some ways, as the target of the perennial top few people in the head roster of Tingyu Pavilion, Xi Yutang has been dealing with the other party for nearly ten years, and he is very familiar with this old opponent, and even knows a little more than Yue Qingfeng.

Listening to the rain pavilion, there are eighteen elders, all of whom hold iron tokens, and their martial arts are superb, with code names ranging from one to eighteen, and the surname on the crown is the name. In addition, there are various divisions, corresponding to different target ranges, from civilians to families, from martial arts to court, covering a wide range.

As the most feared killer organization in the Great Jin Dynasty, Tingyu Pavilion's success depends on word-of-mouth, efficiency, integrity, and iron-clad principles. No trust, no strength, no success, listening to the rain pavilion perfectly interprets the eight words of "collecting people's money and □□", whenever it comes to listening to the rain pavilion, you can only think of the word success.

At this time, Su Seventeen and Yan Sixteen were about to take her to meet the deputy pavilion master. According to Xi Yutang, her "master" Meng 13 left her last words before he died, and he could only contact the organization at the age of eighteen, and as long as he could be recognized for his ability, he could become a killer and take away the relics he left in the cabinet.

…… Actually, how does she know if Meng Shisan has any relics ==

She just wanted to take the opportunity to find out who was going to buy her life, and find out more information from here by the way.

The reason why she has not been in contact with Tingyu Pavilion until now is entirely because she was forced to be in a hurry. In the past, every time there was an assassination, Tingyu Pavilion would dispatch one or two people at most, but since the last time she was besieged by dozens of people on the way to Wushan, Xi Yutang thought to herself that if the other party did another assassination of this scale, she would definitely die.

Eight years ago, she designed to kill Meng Shisan, and it was with her own person as bait that she spent a lot of money to personally name Tingyu Pavilion to send him to kill herself, and then patiently waited on the snowy mountain for three months, and finally gathered the strength of the whole sect and reluctantly killed him in the Xuantian Sect.

To put it mildly, if it weren't for the fact that she waited for the rabbit, deliberately designed a siege, and fought alone, she would not be Meng Shisan's opponent now.

Listening to the ace of Yuge, it's not a joke.

After entering the tower, Su XVII left on her own, and Yan XVI led her to the seventh floor. In the gap between waiting for the deputy pavilion master to appear, Yan Sixteen inquired about the process of her acquaintance with Meng Shisan.

Under Xi Yutang's deliberate concealment, the news of Meng Shisan's death was exposed after a long time, although it was only out of caution at the time, but it undoubtedly laid a perfect time difference for her to lie at this time.

Listening to the Yuge killers, they don't have to go back to Qinggu, every killer uses a pseudonym, and they don't get along much on weekdays, Meng Shisan is a well-known lone ranger, and little is known about him. Xi Yutang didn't say much, but there were no loopholes.

Lies are always more detailed and easier to debunk, and such ambiguous and vague lies leave enough room for imagination and are easier to pass. Although she still had doubts, she had evidence, and Yan Sixteen couldn't help it.

As for Meng Shisan's swordsmanship...... Xi Yutang has studied him for many years, and he has fought with him for three days and three nights on the snow mountain, plus he has the Taichu Chu method, he is already sensitive to various martial arts moves, and it is easy to bypass, and it is not a problem to deceive others.

After a stick of incense, the deputy pavilion master sent a message to see Xi Yutang, Yan Sixteen and others outside, and she entered the seventh floor alone.

Xi Yutang saw someone. It was a man with a full-face mask, tall and lean, with a restrained temperament, a dark purple embroidered silver thread robe, dark silk thick-soled boots, and empty hands and no foreign objects. He sits in a large chair with a casual posture that evokes a sense of distance for no reason.

This is a man who can't see the depth.

"Meng Thirteen's disciple?" The other party spoke, his voice was low and flowing, as if the richest note in Xie Yanzhi's piano, distant and dashing, the eyes behind the mask were narrow and deep, and when he stared at people, he seemed to be being targeted by some kind of giant beast as if he was targeting his prey, with a piercing sense of crisis.

Xi Yutang didn't expect to hear such a young voice, and nodded after being slightly surprised, "Yes." ”

"How?"

“…… How do I need to prove it? ”

The other party was silent for a moment, a low laugh came from behind the mask, and suddenly with a wave of his hand, a huge force struck him. Xi Yutang drew his sword almost at the moment he made a move, using Meng Shisan's swordsmanship.

The two exchanged several moves, Xi Yutang did not use the real Meng Thirteen swordsmanship after all, and after realizing that he was starting to be a little stretched, he was about to think about how to change his moves quietly, but the other party took the initiative to stop.

"Name." He asked.

"The surname is Meng, nameless, walking the rivers and lakes is a pseudonym taken by himself." Xi Yutang's breath was calm, and he couldn't see that Fang Cai was in danger of falling into the wind, "Do you still want to listen to the deputy pavilion master?" ”

"I see." The opposite person's finger tapped lightly on the armrest twice, "Take off the mask." ”

“……”

“□□。” He kindly reminded.

Don't you wear a mask too! Silently scolded his mother in his heart, Xi Yutang was unmoved, "Listen to Yuge's recognition of people by their faces?" ”

The other party fell silent again. She refused repeatedly, her attitude was not arrogant, but when she thought about it, it was understandable, and for a while the two stopped talking, and the atmosphere was very solemn.

After a long time, the deputy pavilion master spoke again, "Is the girl interested in joining the Tingyu Pavilion?" With all due respect, even if it is Meng Shisan, at a girl's age, swordsmanship may not be comparable to you. ”

It sounds like a simple inquiry, but for Xi Yutang, there is only one way to agree. She was originally here for this, the other party's nest is so secretive, it is impossible to get out unless she joins Tingyu Pavilion. She had no other way, it was completely impossible for her to spy on the Rain Pavilion, and the chances of prying out the identity of the buyer from the killer's mouth were slim, so she had to start from the inside.

"Okay."

Probably having already guessed her answer, the deputy pavilion master bowed his head lightly and got up, "Elder Yan." ”

Yan Sixteen immediately appeared at the door.

"Take Miss Meng to the New People's Hall." With that, he turned and walked to the inner room.

Xi Yutang looked at his back, for some reason there was a sense of familiarity, as if he had seen it somewhere, he was a little stunned for a while, and only when Yan Sixteen called her out did he suddenly come back to his senses.

As soon as the two of them walked to the door, they heard the voice of the deputy pavilion master coming from the inner room, "Miss Meng, the position of the elder of the Lingshi is still vacant. ”

Xi Yutang turned his head, "I don't use the names used by others." ”

A low chuckle came from the inner room, "Hubris." Are you optimistic about your strength? ”

"Isn't the deputy pavilion master also optimistic about me?"

"It's a pity that you don't do Meng Thirteen."

"Then abolish thirteen and be Meng nineteen."

“……”

Yan Sixteen looked at Xi Yutang in surprise, this girl is so ambitious!

“…… Meng Nineteen? In the inner room, the man said slowly, "Okay, if you can prove your strength, what if you have one more Nineteen Elders?" ”

"How?" Xi Yutang asked.

There was no sound in the inner chamber for a long time. She waited for a while, and the other party seemed to have made up his mind not to speak again, Xi Yutang looked at Yan Sixteen inquiringly, who shook his head and led her out of the seventh layer.

After coming out of the newcomer's hall, completing the formalities for entering the cabinet, and having his own wooden waist card, Xi Yutang was taken by Yan Sixteen to the door of a desolate small courtyard with only one entrance.

"This is the dwelling place in the Thirteen Valleys of Meng." Yan Sixteen said, "No one has moved in since he died, Miss Meng can go and pack up the relics of the Lingshi, and I will not be able to accompany him." ”

Xi Yutang thanked him, pushed the door in, and went straight to the only house in the courtyard.

After looking at the interior furnishings, Xi Yutang seriously looked for Meng Shisan's relics, and finally lived up to expectations and found a wooden box in the dark compartment of the closet, which contained a codex, on which was Meng Shisan's swordsmanship "Changyin Sword Technique" and experience, in addition, there was only a lifelike white jade Xiyan hairpin, which was a woman's thing at a glance, lubricated throughout, and the pulp was obvious.

Xi Yutang put the things in his arms, put the wooden box back into the dark compartment, and then left the courtyard and went to the mission hall.

After some investigation, she found that the normal-level killer could only see the content of the task and did not have the permission to check the identity of the buyer, only the elder. In this way, she wanted to know who would buy her life, and the only way to become an elder was to become an elder.

However, there are all kinds of tasks on the task list, there are a lot of familiar names, and a lot of unfamiliar names, Xi Yutang seems to see a certain financial road beckoning to him in the future, and he endured it for a long time before he couldn't help but take the task, and when the sky was almost dark, he said goodbye to Yan Sixteen, and left Qinggu.

Back in Hangzhou, she found an inn to stay in, and early the next morning she went to Jinling on a merchant ship. Two days later, when the ship sailed to a certain port, Xi Yutang played a handful of golden cicadas to shed his shell, successfully got rid of the people who listened to the Yuge tracking, and returned to Hangzhou overnight.

By the time she arrived in Hangzhou, it had been five days since she went to the temple.

is still wearing a red long dress, but it is no longer the □□ face, only a black hat is used to cover the real appearance, the sword at the waist has been replaced with a long whip, and the transformed Xi Yutang appeared in the Yanyutai in the south of the city, and touched the largest room in the other courtyard without alarming anyone.

She stood on the roof, and before she could think about whether to go down or not, she was already surrounded by secret guards.

Sighing and glancing at the sun that had just jumped out of the horizon in the distance, Xi Yutang raised his hands helplessly. She ran wildly, hungry and tired, and really didn't want to do anything, so she had to reason with them.

"I'm just here to see if Shen Qi is here."

One of the guards replied coldly, "Girl, please come back." ”

Xi Yutang: "......"

Not really!

She sat down on the tiles and shouted at the top of her voice, "Ah Qi-Ah Qi-"

There were two door knocks, and in the main house, Qiu Yuan trotted out all the way. On the side of the west wing, Shen Qi also walked out expressionlessly, and saw a woman in red wearing a hood, her brows furrowed, and she didn't speak, so she said again, "Xiaomei, I'm so hungry." ”

Shen Qi was slightly stunned and recognized the person: "You...... What a howl early in the morning, don't get down yet! ”

What is it like to sit like this!

Xi Yutang looked at the dark guard proudly, "See?" I'm your friend Dr. Shen! ”

Qiu Yuan was stunned for a moment and asked Shen Qi, "You Xuantian?" ”

Shen Qi didn't know how to answer, so he had to hum and continue to get angry at Xi Yutang, "Hurry up, otherwise there will be no food." ”

Qiu Yuan was still confused, the secret guards looked at each other, Xi Yutang pouted, and before he could speak, he heard a faint voice of "release people" from the breeze in the house under his feet.

Xi Yutang's body stiffened and was surprised.

…… He actually woke up?

The master spoke, and the secret guards disappeared immediately, Xi Yutang pounced on Shen Qi in embarrassment, and said in a low voice, "Why did he wake up?" What about half a month? ”

She was so embarrassed just now...... I thought there were no tigers in the mountains, and I was ready to eat a big one!

Shen Qi sneered, "I've woken up a long time ago, I can't get up, I am embarrassed and complain about others?" ”

Xi Yutang pouted aggrievedly.

It was Shen Qi, who looked at her unhurriedly, "Do you want to change your clothes?" ”

Xi Yutang thought for a moment and shook his head, "Eat first." Qiuyuan, let your chef make a big table of food, be fast. ”

Qiu Yuan looked confused: "Girl, who are you?" ”

“……”

The two looked at each other, and before she could speak, the door of the main house was suddenly opened, and Yue Qingfeng, who was wearing a middle coat and a coat with her hair hanging down on her shoulders, appeared at the door, looking a little wolfish and lacking strength, so she could only half-lean and half-support the door frame, obviously barely getting up.

He heard her voice.

Xi Yutang raised his eyes and looked over, and at a glance, he found that he seemed to have lost weight again, not to mention, and even his face seemed to be worse.

She looked at Shen Xiaomei wordlessly, and said okay, can't you get out of bed?

Shen Qi directly ignored her.

Seeing Yue Qingfeng get up, Qiu Yuan hurriedly ran over, "Hey, my master, didn't I let you get out of bed?" You have not recovered from your serious injuries and have to recuperate! ”

Yue Qingfeng didn't answer, just looked at the woman in red in front of him a little stunned. She generously took off her hat, revealing her original face, her familiar face was flushed, her eyes were as bright as stars, although she was in good spirits, and it seemed that things were going smoothly.

The big stone in my heart suddenly let go.

…… This is the first time he has seen Xi Yutang wearing women's clothes.

Originally...... Much better than expected.

"You don't look good." She said, "But now that you're up, do you want to have breakfast together?" ”

"Young master......" Qiu Yuan was about to say something, and inadvertently looked at his master's line of sight, his eyes widened suddenly, and his jaw was about to hit the ground, "Xi Xi Xi ......"

Yue Qingfeng had already come back to his senses, and in the face of Xi Yutang's invitation, his eyes drooped, and he said lightly, "Qiuyuan, help me go back." ”

Qiu Yuan waved his hand without looking: "Don't talk yet, let me look at it twice!" ”

Yue Qingfeng: "......"

After a pause, Qiu Yuan, who finally reacted to what he said, froze, turned his head stiffly, and looked at his young master's indifferent expression, and the expression on his face could only be described in four words-

Such as mourning.

Oh my God, was he the young master just now!!
