Chapter 341: Fishing in Troubled Waters

When something like this happened, of course, the two of them were in no mood to go shopping.

Huo Xi also hurried over after hearing the news.

"The Sword King is extraordinary? He actually wanted to attack Siyan? I can't spare him! Huo Xi's face was flushed, and he looked desperate to find someone. Anything involving Huo Siyan is difficult for him to keep calm.

"Big brother, calm down, I just said that it is possible, but it's not that he still needs to discuss, you may fall into someone else's trap instead!" Huo Siyan hurriedly persuaded. She knew that if Huo Xi really didn't care about it, he really might do something beyond common sense.

Xiao Yun was a witness, and at this time, he also calmed down, "Although Si Yan said that the sword light was very similar to Zhuo Feifei's earth-shattering sword, but now that I think about it, I also feel that that person may not be the sword king Zhuo Feifei, because although I didn't see that person's face clearly, his back looks like he has seen it from somewhere." ”

Huo Siyan said: "Yes! We have no conflict of interest with the Sword King Zhuo Feifei, what good will it do him if he kills us? ”

"How come there is no conflict of interest?" Huo Xi said: "Sword King Zhuo Feifei once proposed to me on behalf of his nephew, that is, Zhiwang Zhuo Wuxian, and wanted to marry Siyan as his wife, but I refused, with the small-bellied nature of their uncle and nephew, it is not strange to do this kind of thing." ”

"He once came to me to ask for a kiss? When did this happen? How did I not know? Huo Siyan was shocked when she heard the news for the first time.

Xiao Yun also pricked up his ears, and as soon as Huo Xi said this, his feelings towards the Sword King and the Zhi King immediately became bad.

Huo Xi said: "It was already two years ago. At that time, Siyan's pure yin body was not so serious, and by chance, Zhuo Wuxian saw you once, and he never forgot it, and later asked Zhuo Feifei to propose marriage.

Although Zhuo Wuxian is known as the Wise King of Hongmen, he has always been debauched, he wants to take possession of beautiful women when he sees them, and he often does things that are chaotic and abandoned, I don't know how many girls have been harmed by him, how could I hand Siyan over to such a person? So I flatly refused.

Later, Zhuo Wuxian came a few times in person for this matter, and each time he brought extremely valuable gifts, but I didn't even let him in the door.

Because of that incident, our Huo family, the Sword King, and the Zhi King had a very unpleasant quarrel. Many people in my family have a lot of criticism about me because of this.

Now that the matter between you and Xiao Yun has been semi-public, it must be that after they heard about it, they did something to kill people to vent their anger. ”

"Something like this has happened? Why have I never heard you talk about it? ”

Huo Xi said: "I was worried about your body at the time, how could I tell you such an unhappy thing?" Not only did I not say it, but I also ordered that no one else should talk about it in front of you, so naturally you don't know. ”

Huo Siyan pondered for a moment and asked, "So, who else knows about this?" ”

Huo Xi said: "Do you remember when I took you to the Hongmen headquarters to attend the birthday dinner held by Hong Botao for his daughter?" Zhuo Wuxian met you at that banquet, so the people who attended that banquet basically knew about it. However, at that time, only the high-level officials of Hongmen and some celebrities were eligible to participate, so there were not many of them. ”

"Hong Bingyan's birthday banquet?" Huo Siyan said suddenly: "As soon as you say that, I can almost guess who did this." ”

"Who is it?" Xiao Yun and Huo Xi asked almost in unison.

Huo Siyan said: "It's the daughter of Hong Botao, the host of the banquet at that time, Hong Bingyan!" ”

"Is that her?!" Xiao Yun and Huo Xi glanced at each other, both shocked.

Huo Siyan said: "Yes, because I am also a girl, I had contact with her at that time, although she was only sixteen years old at that time, but her mind is mature, but she is not at all like a girl who is only sixteen years old."

Since she knew about it, there was no way he wouldn't take advantage of it. ”

Xiao Yun said: "Yes, when Siyan said this, I remembered that the back of that person was very similar to the servant beside Hong Bingyan, the sword king Cheng Luoyu." ”

Xiao Yun and Nangong Xiaoxian visited Hong Bingyan together, and it was Cheng Luoyu who introduced them at that time, and Xiao Yun had certainly seen his back.

"Sword King Cheng Luoyu?" Huo Xi said: "You said that he is now a servant by Hong Bingyan's side? ”

Xiao Yun said: "Yes! When Nangong Xiaoxian told me about this, I was also quite shocked, I didn't expect a generation of sword kings to be willing to do such a lowly thing. ”

Huo Xi said: "But with the temperament of the Sword King, this matter is not strange to think about. I heard that Cheng Luoyu was in love with Lin Xixi, the first beauty in the south, but because of his humble status, he failed to do so. Later, Lin Xixi married Hong Botao, and Cheng Luoyu joined Hongmen because of this and became the king of swords. For Lin Xixi's daughter Hong Bingyan, Cheng Luoyu has always regarded him as his own and loves him very much. With Hong Bingyan's current situation, it is not surprising that he did this. ”

Huo Siyan said: "Since he is the king of swords, then it is a good explanation why that sword light is a bit like being split with a knife." ”

Huo Xi said: "With Hong Bingyan's wisdom, she will definitely be able to guess Xiao Yun's true identity, since she asked Nangong Xiaoxian and Xiao Yun to win over Xiao Yun and cooperate with the Qing faction, so now that she and Xiao Yun are still allies, why would she attack you and Xiao Yun?" What's in it for her? ”

Huo Siyan said: "Can anyone prove that she did this?" Everything we are talking about is just speculation, and without evidence, she can push it all the way.

And don't forget, Cheng Luoyu's knife is an earth-shattering sword to imitate, if it weren't for Xiao Yun's back when he saw Cheng Luoyu, if it wasn't for the fact that I had contact with her, we might have locked our eyes on Zhuo Feifei.

Her purpose in doing this is nothing more than to provoke a conflict between us and the Sword King and the Uncle and Nephew of the Zhiwang, so as to consume the strength of both sides. This shows that Hong Bingyan is cooperating with us, but also wary of us, there are no eternal friends in the world, in the final analysis, the interests between us and her are opposite, and it cannot be a real alliance. ”

Xiao Yun said: "I understand, this matter is a ploy by Hong Bingyan, who wants us to have a conflict with the Sword King and the Zhi King." It seems that even if she is joining forces with the Sword King and the Wisdom King against the Elder Group, she does not fully trust each other, and is still doing everything possible to consume their strength, hoping to benefit from it.

Since she wants to borrow our hands to deal with the Sword King and the Zhi King, let's just have another plan and really clash with the Sword King and the Zhi King, of course, how the play is going to be played has to be up to us.

Anyway, now that the water is muddy enough, we simply stir it up more muddy, and the muddy water is good for fishing. ”
