Yanzhou, Shanyang County, Changyi.

The main hall was in shambles, with food and dishes scattered all over the floor, and hosts and guests were fighting each other.

But in stark contrast to the tense atmosphere, the people outside were very leisurely, as if nothing had happened inside.

"Uncle Wang, are they done fighting?" A housekeeper stood beside the butler and looked inside with interest.

"What's the hurry, I'll go in and change the dishes later. If they do it again, won't they have to change it again? The butler looked disdainful and said loudly.

For them, it seems that the two Hades inside will only communicate in this way.

Of course, the two inside also heard the conversation outside clearly.

Duan Xuan smiled bitterly and let go of the spider silk, and Zhang Feng also withdrew the chain blade.

Their way of communicating without saying a word is something that people have long been accustomed to. Every time Zhang Feng came, the housekeeper just snorted and told the housekeeper and the maidservant to prepare another pair of tableware.

Gradually, Duan Xuan and Zhang Feng also felt that it was not interesting, and they often stopped as soon as they started. But for the destruction of utensils and meals, they did a very good job.

"Brother Xuan, Cao Cao's military advisor who was once praised for his drama and talent, but now he has fallen so hard that even his subordinates dare to despise him." Zhang Feng put the chain blade in his arms with one arm, and he didn't forget to count Duan Xuan on his lips.

"If the people of the main hall find out that you are here, I am afraid that you and I will both be cut by a thousand knives." Duan Xuan mocked with disdain.

"This is true, even if the night attack order is withdrawn, I am afraid that there will be no more if I can tolerate me like Yi Shuai's father and son." Zhang Feng is also unabashed about what he has done.

In fact, the reason why they did it today is very different from usual.

Zhang Feng came here, firstly, to tell Duan Xuan about Xuzhou, and secondly, to inquire about the news of the main hall. But not long after sitting down, Duan Xuan made a suggestion that surprised him - leave this place and form a team of assassins by himself.

Of course, Zhang Feng will be angry, firstly, he is no longer Ye Feng now, and he doesn't have to live that dark killer life all day long; Both, he has always been wary of Duan Xuan, although the two of them were all the way before, but after all, their personalities are very different, Zhang Feng really doesn't want to have too close a relationship with Duan Xuan; Of the three, he is actually half a waste now, and Duan Xuan's proposal is hard to guarantee that he is not ridiculing himself.

"Feng'er, I'm not joking. On my own, it is not enough to train my subordinates. But if the Lord can avenge my Northern Church, he must help it succeed. ”

"You're no longer a night edge, so why bother with revenge?"

"I'm not for the main hall, I'm just smiling for the clouds."

……

On that day, the five sages committed suicide, in exchange for Gong Yi and his trustworthiness, and did not kill Long Yi and others, but captured them all alive.

However, they didn't take Guo Lan away because he couldn't wait for Gong Yi to fulfill his promise.

The serious injury to the internal organs, coupled with excessive blood loss, made Guo Lan unable to continue to support, so he died at the mouth of the desolate cave in the mountain behind the main hall.

The people of the Southeast General Hall only took off the heads of the five sages and buried their bodies, but as for Guo Lan, they abandoned their corpses in the wilderness and no one cared about them.

I don't know whether to say lucky or unlucky, and it is precisely because of this that Guo Lan's body will be found.

After Huan Qi and Guo Jia's men converged, they made a detour to Yanzhou, and when she passed through this place, she found Guo Lan's body.

Shocked, Huan Qi buried Guo Lan and hurried to Yanzhou.

Being in Yefeng, although he knew that the days were precarious, Duan Xuan still found it difficult to accept the death of such a long-time friend.

For more than ten days, he did not speak, and locked himself in his home all day.

That time was the time when people were really scared. Because Duan Xuan became very emotional, if he was a little excited, he would wreak havoc on the furnishings in the house.

Fortunately, the person who was sent to take care of him at that time was Nie Hong.

Nie Hong was unable to arrive in Sizhou in time due to being blocked, so he felt that the collapse of the Northern General Hall was due to his own fault.

During the ten days of taking care of Duan Xuan, Nie Hong's heart was like a knife every day.

The affection between like-minded night forwards has nothing to do with geography and age, so in fact, Nie Hong and Duan Xuan have surprisingly the same views on many things.

Of course, empathizing with him, watching Duan Xuan's collapse, Nie Hong couldn't control himself a little. In those days, he basically kept the flask in his hand.

On the tenth day, Duan Xuan suddenly changed the haze of the past and regained his previous vitality.

Nie Hong knew that he had a heart and didn't want to blame himself too much, so he pretended to be forced. However, it is a good thing that he can recover, and Nie Hong has eased up a little.

Nothing happens on the outside doesn't mean that the heart is also calm, Duan Xuan has been thinking about revenge since his injuries recovered.

If you want to form a killer, you must find a ruthless, hateful and proficient person in the art of concealment, Duan Xuan finally reluctantly found that among the people he knew, there was only one such person - Zhang Feng.

Duan Xuan had been hesitating before, but in the end, he still made up his mind. Therefore, today Zhang Feng came to him to ask about the main hall, and Duan Xuan felt that he would talk to him.

It's just that he didn't expect that because of one of his decisions, the subordinates would have to clean up more.

"Even if you have a slight flaw in your body, your concealment technique is still the best in the main hall. I think about it, and only you can help me. ”

"Heh, it's really 'a hand'......" Zhang Feng looked at the empty sleeve on the right side of his body, and said with some loss.

"I don't mean to laugh at you, on the contrary, I'm inviting you from the bottom of my heart."

"It's okay if you want me to say yes, but you have to promise me three things."

"Which three?"

"First, you must promise to borrow Cao Cao's hand to enter Xuzhou; Second, ensure that Lu Bu will be eradicated; Third, ensure Ren Ying's safety. ”

"At this moment, have you not let go of the two of them? It's good that I'm looking for someone of your character. ”

Zhang Feng shook his head helplessly, "I really can't hear the meaning of praise in these words." By the way, where is Yishuai now? ”

"What are you looking for him?"

"On the way back from Xuzhou, I found Shen Rong's people."

"What?! Where is he? ”

"It's been a long time, and I can't say it. However, looking at the direction he is traveling, it should be Yuzhou. ”

"Ahh Duan Xuan exclaimed in surprise and almost stood up.

"What's wrong? Brother Xuan, why are you so alarmed? ”

"Yi Shuai is now following the lord to purge Yuan Shu's forces in Yuzhou, listening to what you say, it must be Shen Rong who is going to do it."

"Then you want to ......"

"I want to go to Yuzhou in person to remind the lord to beware."

"Heh, Brother Xuan, with your current body, even if you rush to Yuzhou, you probably won't be able to speak. In this way, you can rest and let Feng'er run for you. ”

Duan Xuan looked at Zhang Feng with some confusion, his eyes full of puzzlement.

"Hugh will see me like this. Since I promised you to act together, this will be regarded as Feng'er's expression of sincerity. ”

"I'm only asking you for one thing - be sure to protect your lord!"

"Don't worry, I have my own opinions."

After speaking, Zhang Feng took the wine jug from the subordinate who was running up to change the tableware, and left Duan Xuan's residence while taking a big sip.

————————————————

Yangzhou, Danyang County, Jianye.

Zhang Zhao, the old man of the Seven Sages, was leaning back on a chair and closing his eyes to recuperate, and Sun Ce slowly walked in from outside.

The furnishings in the house are very simple, and it is not at all obvious that it is the residence of the virtuous elders.

"Cel, you're here."

"Yes, I've seen Elder Xian." Sun Ce stood aside respectfully.

"Oh, I was negligent, and now I should call you the master." As he spoke, the Seven Sages stood up.

"Elder Xian is going to kill the juniors," Sun Ce arched his hand slightly, but his gaze fell on the table, "Elder Xian, what is this?" ”

On top of the wooden table, there is a carved wooden box with exquisite workmanship, which seems to be a valuable thing.

"Oh, this thing," the Seven Sages squinted his eyes and gently stroked the wooden box with his hand, and after that, he slowly opened the wooden box, "It's the fifth brother." ”

In the wooden box was a skull. Judging by the missing teeth, it should be an old man.

This is the skull of He Xinghan, the five sages of the Yefeng Northern General Hall.

Gong Yi brought back the old heads of the five sages, just to illustrate the results. But who would have thought that the Seven Sages would order that the heads of the Five Sages be carefully processed and the skin and flesh were removed with lime.

After repeated cleaning and deodorization, the subordinates of the Southeast Hall have only sent this skull to the hands of the Seven Sages until today.

"After experiencing the ravages of the Wudao Han Court, I survived many ups and downs, but in the end I lost my own hands." The Seven Sages sighed with some regret.

"If you want to achieve great things, you must not have children's private affairs. The decision of the two virtuous elders, even if it seems to be today, is still right. ”

"Hehe, Ce'er is getting better and better at talking. Well, now that the Northern Hall has been destroyed, you only need to wait until the soldiers are trained to complete and then they can set foot in Jiangdong. ”

"There's something I want to ask juniors."

"It doesn't hurt to be straight."

"Why did the two virtuous elders agree that Yan Baihu was not enough to worry about, and they should skip him to attack Huiji first?"

"Ce'er, let me ask you this. When a tiger faces a wild dog, does it care about lice on its body? ”

In fact, Sun Ce also knew that Yan Baihu, who was a rogue, didn't have to care at all, a person with neither ambition nor vision could destroy him with a snap of his fingers.

And Wang Lang, although he is just a wild dog in the mouth of the Seven Sages, is at least much stronger than Yan Baihu.

Sun Ce's only concern was that he would skip Yan Baihu and attack Wang Lang directly, in case they would join forces inside, then Sun Ce would fall into a two-way situation.

The most important thing is that Pi Shuai Changao, who has the strongest ability to command the army, has not been able to return to his companions.

The Seven Sages also saw Sun Ce's concerns, but he didn't rush to answer, because sometimes, the growth of the juniors is what the elders hope for the most.

"Ce'er, since I, Southeast Yefeng, have decided to help your Sun family, I will keep my promise."

The Seven Sages paused slightly, and then said:

"But as the lord, it's time for you to train your subordinates. Go ahead, ask Gong Jin, I'm sure he'll have come up with a solution. ”
