Chongrenfang is mostly inhabited by people who serve in official families, mostly military attachés, and the wolf guards who stay in the capital basically live here, which is very suitable to describe as a wolf's den. It is also for this reason that Chongrenfang and Hutai Street are diametrically opposed, and they are the places that Jianghu people don't like to come to the most, and they are also the safest places in Chang'an City.

Torrential rain poured down from the streets of the mansion, cacophony could be heard in teahouses and restaurants, and the late wolf guards walked with umbrellas or robes, occasionally swearing "son of a bitch" or pouring water out of their boots in front of their homes.

Crunch squeak –

In the heavy rain of the city, Liu Yunlin, the deputy envoy of the Investigation Department, stood outside his house, holding a gift box in his hand, holding an umbrella and talking to a wolf guard, as if his superiors were communicating with his subordinates passing by.

"Things are clear."

The wolf guard, who had a bronze medal hanging on his waist, leaned over slightly and said seriously:

"It's arranged, looking for the ranger Kou Meng who has just arrived in Chang'an, who was quite famous a few years ago, and should be able to break into the bamboo forest behind the Furong Temple, tonight the rain is heavy to hide the sound, and the spies can also sneak into the vicinity to check the results."

Liu Yunlin nodded and said softly, "You won't leak the news, right?" ”

Wolf Wei raised his hand and clenched his fist: "My lord, rest assured, Kou Meng only wants money and does not accept the business of killing, he only tells him the place and general appearance, I don't know who I want to fight, and I don't know who arranged it, so I won't leak the news." ”

Liu Yunlin nodded lightly and asked his subordinates to retreat.

After waiting for a while, a carriage entered from the gate and walked up the street of Chongrenfang Main Street, stopping outside the house.

After Liu Yunlin jumped into the luxurious carriage, he put away his umbrella outside the carriage.

The carriage was beautifully decorated, there was a candle lamp on the table, Tang Jiu, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, was sitting on the couch, recuperating for a month, and the injury on his forehead outside the Taiji Hall had healed a lot, but his mood obviously did not recover from that incident, and his eyes were a little gloomy.

Liu Yunlin shook off a little rain on his robe before entering the carriage, sat down on the opposite side, and put the gift box in his hand.

Tang Jiu made up his body, poured a cup of tea, and his attitude was quite respectful: "Deputy Envoy Liu, can my father's position be in the position of Wu Kui?" ”

Liu Yunlin smiled kindly: "The Tang family has been loyal to the imperial court for many years, and there must be a position for Wu Kui, and the specific time depends on the situation, but when the time comes, the saint will definitely come and give the golden plaque in person to set an example for the martial artists in the world." ”

Tang Jiu nodded, a little relieved, and thought for a while: "The current rivers and lakes are in a mess, and the Holy Lord should rectify it again." A few days ago, the remnants of the Zhu family went to the Lu family in the East China Sea to make trouble, and even became one of the ten martial arts leaders if they didn't admit their guilt and subjugated the law......

Regarding Tang Jiu's complaints, Liu Yunlin shook his head: "Wu Kui relies on his ability to speak in the end, Zhu Liu wins Lu Baiming, even if he is a remnant of the rivers and lakes, he is worthy of the word Wu Kui, but this gold plaque, he must not have the courage to receive it." ”

Tang Jiu snorted lightly: "If he dares to come, I will be the first to meet him, back then, my Tang family was able to destroy the Zhu family, and now it is the same." ”

This is obviously the scene, Tang and Zhu have a blood feud, since Zhu Liu has come out, sooner or later he will go to the Tang family to avenge the revenge of the family, if Tang Jiao, the head of the Tang family, is saying this, it still has a bit of weight, Tang Jiu, a junior, is obviously a little bit worse.

Liu Yunlin just laughed and didn't answer.

-------

The carriage passed through the long street in heavy rain and gradually came to the mansion of Zhang Xiang, the 'Ten Thousand Slaughterers'.

Zhang Xiang was originally a member of the secret guard, and like Jia Gonggong and others, he was the emperor's personal mortal. After being transferred from the secret guard ten years ago, he returned to his normal identity and entered the official career, married two wives and concubines, and had children under his knees.

However, the dead man was born, and it is difficult to change the character cultivated since childhood. Zhang Xiang is still quiet and cautious, completely to live like a normal person to marry a wife and have children, and has been learning to be a normal person.

Like other martial artists, Zhang Xiang also accepted apprentices, and cared very much about the promising apprentice Zhang Tingbao, who was trained as an heir since childhood, Zhang Tingbao was called Zhang Shuai, and there was also this reason.

Zhang Tingbao was born poorly, although he had just turned twenty, but he had already married a wife and had children, and gave birth to a son last month, which is also Zhang Xiang's grandson.

The pouring rain did not affect the atmosphere of the house, and the maids and maids walked back and forth, mixed with some conversations. Glamorous e-books

Needless to say, the security of Zhang Xiang's mansion has four teams of twelve Tianzi battalion wolf guards patrolling the surrounding area all year round, Ning Qingye has suffered a big loss, and ordinary people in the rivers and lakes want to get close to it.

The living room in the house is brightly lit, several Taishi chairs are placed in it, and the guests are seated in it, and the colleagues in the secret guard are Wudang Chen Daoping, Taifei Jiujie Niangniang, Qianrenmen Situ Yueming, Longhushan Zhang Buxian four, and the rest There are several leaders of the Investigation Division, although there are only more than ten people seated, but the weight can definitely scare the ordinary Jianghu guests with weak legs.

Zhang Xiang looked good, as always, he didn't talk much, sat on the main seat and drank tea, listening to the guests chatting.

The people who can come to Zhang Xiang's mansion as guests are all pro-court forces without exception, and they have not been affected by the iron eagle deer hunting ten years ago. are all Jianghu guests, and the natural thing they talk about is the affairs of the rivers and lakes, at this time, Zhang Buxian of Longhu Mountain is talking about Wu Kui a few days ago:

“…… Lu Baiming's heart knot is not solved, he has never fought with anyone in the past ten years, it is not uncommon to lose, if he has been walking around the rivers and lakes, with the background of Lu Jiajian, the victory or defeat is not yet known......"

Zhang Buxian is a person from the Heavenly Master Mansion of Longhu Mountain, and his brother Zhang Buzheng, and Wudang Chen Daozi are also called 'Daomen Shuangsha', both of whom are candidates who can enter the top ten martial arts, although he himself is a step behind, but he is also a master of swords on the rivers and lakes, and this evaluation is also the idea of most people present.

During the conversation, Liu Yunlin and Tang Jiu entered the living room and sat down in the back, because of their status, they didn't interject, Zhang Xiang just nodded with a smile.

Chen Daozi of Wudang is a kendo expert, sitting next to Zhang Buxian, and replied with a smile:

"There is no vanity under the fame, Lu Baiming's reputation is still there, even if he doesn't touch the sword for ten years, it is impossible to make thirty-six swords in a row, the sword is not hit, in fact, as long as one sword is missed, the victory or defeat will be counted in his heart, Poor Dao feels that Lu Baiming deliberately lost, and there is a meaning to teach the thirty-six swords of the Lu family to Zhu Liu......"

This statement is refreshing, but when you think about it, you think it's very likely.

Jiujie Niangniang is a ranger born in the rivers and lakes, and her knowledge is definitely not as good as that of the major martial arts giants. However, the identity of the concubine is there, and her status is also the highest, even if she is a concubine for a lifetime, she can't change the problems of the people in the rivers and lakes, and she interjected at this time:

"The thirty-six swords of the Lu family are the ability of the Lu family in the East China Sea, Lu Baiming does his best, even if he can't beat it, all the thirty-six swords are out, and it is impossible to be countered by one move, so Zhu Liu can't dodge the thirty-six swords in a row. Chen Daochang's statement does have some truth. ”

Situ Yueming thought for a while: "This is the same as my brother's twenty-eight road serial knife, all of them have been cut to twenty-eight knives and have not touched anyone, so there is no need for the other party to take out the sword, and he can directly admit defeat, it is estimated that Lu Baiming deliberately taught the sword to give up the position of the sword saint." ”

When Tang Jiu heard this, as one of the four great masters of sword science, he must have been a little anxious, and he interjected softly:

"Seniors, the Lu family of the East China Sea and the Zhu family have been competing for a hundred years, why do they teach the descendants of the Zhu family to teach the family heirlooms?"

Hearing this, many people present shook their heads and chuckled, but they didn't answer, but they knew it - the iron eagle of the imperial court was hunting deer back then, if it wasn't for King Su to keep his hand, the Lu family in the East China Sea would also follow in the footsteps of the Zhu family. Although the Lu family saved the lives of the whole clan, the old family head died under the iron hooves of Xiliang. Jianghu people pay attention to blood debts and blood repayment, this hatred of the Lu family will definitely not be counted on King Su, and although Zhang Xiang is called 'ten thousand slaughters', to put it bluntly, he is just a thug, what the emperor says and does, if he really wants to take revenge, he must be looking for the one in the imperial city.

But like all the Jianghu people who went to Beijing to take revenge, there were many people who came to kill Zhang Xiang, but few people dared to kill the emperor, and the Lu family in the East China Sea was the same. Lu Baiming couldn't ask the emperor for justice, and it was reasonable to send Zhu Liuyi a favor.

Jiujie Niangniang pondered for a moment, and said: "Zhu Liu is rumored to be a god in the market, what' The hat swordsman is holding an ordinary iron sword, and the heads of the seven heroes in the east are used as stepping stones...... The twelve gates of the East China Sea retreated a hundred steps away before they dared to observe...... The sword is like a dragon going to sea, and Tianjiao enters the world' Yunyun, saying the same as the gods, I don't know what the actual situation is......"

Situ Yueming laughed: "The storytellers in the market love to talk nonsense, last month's Taiji Hall Qingkui dispute, and said that it was 'the wind and clouds change color, and the nine dragons come to the court', in fact, it was a heavy rainstorm that day, Xu Shizi and the doll surnamed Zuo fought on the roof, and they were drenched like a ......soup chicken."

"Hahaha......"

Everyone nodded and chuckled, they had heard of this for a long time.

As he spoke, a thunderclap suddenly sounded.

Thunderbolt –

The thunder light pierced the sky, and the majestic Chang'an turned into daylight in an instant.

There was already a thunderstorm, and everyone didn't care, but they stopped talking for the time being, but immediately stared at each other.

I saw that under the thunder light, there was a long black shadow in the living room, which was printed in the middle of the living room, and the shadow of the sword blade fell on Zhang Xiang's throat just right.

Everyone turned their heads in unison, but saw a bucket of swordsmen, with a three-foot sword blade pointing diagonally to the ground, quietly standing in front of the door, dripping rain down the blade of the sword on the floor tiles, making a soft 'da-da-' sound......
