Chapter 12: The Lurkers
Puyang is an important inland town, and its actual jurisdiction is quite large, so big that Tang Yuer's hometown is also in Puyang, but it is not far from the Xu family.
Therefore, although Tang Yuer has been back to Puyang City for many days, she has never had the opportunity to go home, and she has to wait until this incident to have time for her to deal with private affairs.
Similarly, because of the size of the cauldron Yang, it also gave the Demon Gate and Nie Yunfeng room to hide.
More than 20 miles north of Xujia, this place has belonged to the suburbs of Puyang, and there are few traces of people, only some resources and minerals, villa manors remain.
Xu Wenjing and his entourage of nearly twenty people rushed to an ordinary manor at a very fast speed, with some fatigue on their faces.
After two consecutive days of investigation, there is hardly much time to rest, and you have to maintain a high degree of vigilance, even if you are all martial artists present, you are not an iron fight after all.
"Senior Sister Xu, I think that Nie Yunfeng and the Demon Gate want to wait for work, consume our strength, and then do a decisive battle. ”
A girl in blue stood beside Xu Wenjing, looking at the quiet manor in front of her, and there was always some ominous premonition in her heart.
The girl in blue is named Yuan Shuling, who was born in Qifenglou, one of the four famous families, and is also a well-known martial artist in the rivers and lakes, and has a very high status in Qifenglou.
Among the disciples of Qi Fenglou who died this time, there was one of her close friends, but Yuan Shuling was not carried away by hatred, and the more he came to this juncture, the more vigilant he became.
If the enemy had really been vulnerable, he would not have made so many battles, and he would have escaped long ago.
Xu Wenjing turned around and looked, among the twenty or so people in her family, there were only nine people from Yunshui Villa and Qifeng Tower, and only this group of people seemed to be in good spirits.
The remaining half is from Hejiazhuang, which is the first martial arts family in Puyang City, but its overall quality cannot be compared with the disciples of the four major sects.
"I'll go in and have a look. Xu Wenjing thought for a while and said.
"Senior sister......" Yuan Shuling suddenly stared at her with wide eyes, and only after a moment did she understand what she meant-she was going to go in alone!
Without waiting for Xu Wenjing to leave, a person next to her hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The two senior sisters are not busy, they have already sent people into the manor, and there will be news back later." ”
The two daughters turned their heads at the same time, but this person was from the He family.
Only the corners of Situ Xing's mouth twitched slightly, he really wanted to tell these people that his senior sister was not thinking about safety at all, she was just troublesome.
And at this time, two people in front of them had already arrived in a hurry, and they said loudly: "Mr. Big......! Empty!"
The first few people were stunned for a moment, and Situ Xing was the first to blurt out: "Tune the tiger away from the mountain!"
......
Xu family.
Xu Xian and Tang Yu'er stood in the small courtyard, also using their wrists against each other, practicing the "cloud hand" grappling technique.
In fact, if you want to maximize the effect of grappling practice, you should use the whole body, not just for arm grappling.
But after all, this is whether men and women give or receive kisses, and Tang Yuer is more just to have some fun.
It's a pity that after this sparring session, Miss Xiao Tang didn't find much fun, but was full of frustration.
There are rumors about Xu Xian, of course Tang Yuer has heard of it, after all, this is Xu Wenjing's younger brother, "the second genius of the Xu family".
But...... Is there really a genius in this world who learns martial arts overnight?
Looking at Xu Xian's extremely skilled "cloud hand" in front of him, he was brought down several times, Tang Yuer almost wanted to cry without tears.
Even if you've only been in the beginners for two years, even if you're good at swordsmanship instead of grappling...... He's only been learning Cloud Hand for two days!
"I thought I would finally have more junior brothers, master!
Tang Yuer muttered in her heart with a sad face, she could only try her best to ensure that she did not make a fool of herself, but her movements became more and more difficult.
Xu Xian on the other side felt the opposite, at first he thought that this Senior Sister Tang intended to release the water, but he didn't expect that the more he fought, the easier it became.
And as his understanding of "Cloud Hand" deepened, Xu Xian could easily see whether Tang Yuer could release water or really couldn't beat it.
"Is it so weak? At most, it's a rudimentary level. Xu Xian couldn't help but shake his head secretly.
He didn't know if the "Cloud Hand" was too obscure, or Tang Yu'er was not good at learning, anyway, Xu Wenjing was at least at the intermediate level, which was about the same as he was now.
Just when Tang Yu'er's mind was relaxed, there was suddenly another flaw in her hand, and she was quickly grabbed by Xu Xian, and her right hand stretched forward violently, clasping Tang Yuer's big arm.
Tang Yu'er couldn't resist it, and she was shocked and subconsciously wanted to withdraw her hand, but found that Xu Xian's palm was like a suction cup, firmly controlling her in place.
Xu Xian took advantage of the situation and pulled back, and Tang Yu'er's whole person instantly fell to this side, but he himself avoided it sideways, completely ignoring the warm fragrant nephrite that was within reach.
Tang Yu'er saw that she was about to fall headfirst to the ground, and she couldn't help but feel anxious, a small fall naturally couldn't hurt her, but this face was a big loss.
She didn't care about just sparring, and hurriedly mobilized her true qi to rush away from the clouds, but she didn't expect to fail to make a contribution.
In the end, it was Xu Xian's hand that Tang Yuer only felt that her eyelashes had touched the soil, so she could stop and was pulled up by Xu Xian.
After Tang Yu'er stood still, she took a few deep breaths, and finally couldn't help but be annoyed: "Teacher, junior brother, how can you still use all your strength when you are fighting?"
"Full strength?" Xu Xian was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "Senior sister is really angry...... Don't use it in vain, get used to it. ”
"Habit?"
Tang Yu'er was dumbfounded, Xu Xian was about to explain, but suddenly looked up behind Tang Yu'er.
There, there were two conspicuous red phantoms, slowly outlined in his retina.
......
At the same time, in the bamboo forest behind Xu Wenjing's courtyard, there were indeed two figures lurking in it, a man and a woman, dressed in civilian clothes.
If there is someone in Xu Wenjing's group, he will definitely be deeply surprised when he sees the face of the man in it, because this person is Nie Yunfeng.
"Brother Nie, it's the two of them, right? Tang Yu'er and Xu Wenjing's younger brother from Yunshui Villa. ”
The woman beside Nie Yunfeng watched Xu Xian and Tang Yu'er parry, and couldn't help pouting: "Yunshui Villa is really not as good as a generation, and it can't beat a mortal ......."
"Rong Rong, don't underestimate others, it's also the realm of quasi-nurture. Nie Yunfeng couldn't help but chuckle.
Ye Rongrong pouted and said nothing, and Nie Yunfeng said again: "Okay, since we have confirmed that there is no other person left in the Xu family, we will act as soon as possible." If you solve this problem, you have to rush to Hejiazhuang to help. ”
"Remember, don't hurt the innocent, especially since there are still many ordinary people in the Xu family. ”
"Got it, got it. Ye Rongrong said impatiently, "Really, we are still the Demon Gate, those hypocritical righteous ways can kill people, but we can't kill ......"
Nie Yunfeng smiled and patted her on the shoulder: "Reputation is built little by little, take your time...... Wait, that kid seems to have spotted us. ”
