On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, Xiao Killing Xiong found a third helper, and it may be more accurate to say the opposite, the third helper found him.

Like Li Xingtian, Zhang Yi abandoned the louder name of the Yiren period, refused to be called "Prince Dan" by others, and repeatedly emphasized: "Under the surname Zhang, the name is angry, the word is nostalgic, reckless back then, and he did some arrogant things that do not know the depth, and the name of 'Prince Dan' is especially disobedient and disloyal, so I have to mention it again." ”

But he still came forward and found Xiao Killing Xiong and the others, "There should be a conclusion to the matter, at least we are all qualified to figure out what that jade pendant is." ”

Zhang Yi, Li Ou, Xiao Kill Xiong, Zhao Aqi, Jiang Dongxia, Xiao Tan and a group of six people came to the gate of Zhao's house after noon and asked to see the owner Hu Guiyang.

"The owner of the house is very busy, and he doesn't have time to meet customers now." A brocade-clothed lieutenant at the gate said coldly that he felt a little embarrassed to guard the door of a private house.

"What's the houseowner?" Xiao Killing Xiong asked in surprise.

"The owner of the house is the person you want to meet, and he was just appointed as the owner of the house a few days ago."

Zhao Aqi smiled and said, "This is a name that senior brother can come up with." We have an appointment with the owner of the Hu Mansion in advance, please let me know, he will definitely see you. ”

Captain Jinyi stood still, "I'm only responsible for guarding the door, regardless of what is reported." ”

"Who's responsible for reporting, please?"

"I don't know." The lieutenant has a posture of rejecting people thousands of miles away.

Li Ou said: "There is no need to report, last time I went directly to the hospital, called Hu Guiyang's name, and he came out." ”

The lieutenant sneered: "I remember you, you broke into the house in the middle of the night, and everyone couldn't sleep soundly. At this time and that time, you were not ready at that time, do you want to try again? The one who quieted down was definitely you. ”

Li Ou wanted to make a move, but was dragged by Jiang Dongxia, "Let's come to the competition by appointment, there is no need to make trouble, wait outside for a while, there will always be others in the house." ”

Leo suddenly remembered something, "The front door is not allowed to enter, we can go through the back door, I came out of the back door that day." ”

The six of them turned around, made a big circle, and came to the back alley of Zhao's house.

The back door was closed, there were locks inside and outside, Li Ou knocked for a long time, and no one answered inside, "Hu Guiyang said, he can't be the master at home, I waited for an hour that night before someone opened the door, it was Luo who opened the lock inside, and it was a stranger who opened the lock outside." ”

"Roche." Zhao Aqi and Xiao Tan glanced at each other, and neither of them said any more.

"Hu Guiyang!" Leo suddenly shouted loudly, startling the five companions, and Xiao Killing Bear then screamed even louder, but still no one responded.

"This guy is deliberately avoiding us, right?" Xiao Kill Xiong guessed.

"Someone's coming." Jiang Dongxia reminded.

Two people walked from outside the alley, in the middle of winter, and there was no snow, but these two people were holding oil-paper umbrellas, which looked quite funny.

"Hey, doesn't Roche always have an umbrella in his hand?" Xiao kills the bear road.

"I don't take it now." Xiao Tan said casually, and found that everyone else was looking at him, and hurriedly said: "I met her once, and I met ...... by chance."

No one believed his answer, but no one asked.

The two newcomers approached, and the first person put away the umbrella and said with a smile: "It's been a long time, everyone is okay." ”

"Qiu Lianshi." Zhang Yi recognized this person.

The other also put away his umbrella, but no one recognized him, "Congratulations to Brother Xiao for restoring his old appearance, he has suffered a lot, right?" ”

"Who are you?" Xiao Killing Xiong asked unceremoniously.

"Dyeing in the lower forest, like Brother Xiao, it can be regarded as restoring its old appearance, and the suffering it has suffered, alas, it is difficult to describe it."

Lin Layer was extremely old back then, but now he is an ordinary middle-aged man, Xiao Killing Xiong immediately felt sympathy for the same disease, and sighed: "It's really hard to say, there are many strangers, only the two of us are the most unlucky and have suffered the most." ”

"yes. Are you looking for Hu Guiyang? Lin Layer Ran asked.

"We made an appointment to compete three times, as long as I win once, he will return the Shenyu to me, today is the third time, who would have thought that this guy would avoid it." Xiao Killing Xiong said indignantly.

"Hu Guiyang really has a divine jade in his hand?" Qiu Lianshi asked.

Xiao Shouxiong was about to speak, but Jiang Dongxia preemptively said, "Why did the two of you come?" ”

Zhang Yi added: "Gu Zhongxian has long been a prisoner of the order, who are the two of you doing things for now?" ”

Qiu Lianshi smiled: "It's cold, it's better to find a place to sit down and talk." I can answer one question first, and the two of us are here for you. ”

Zhang Yi and the others glanced at each other, not afraid of Qiu and Lin, Xiao Kill Xiong said: "Then find a place, but don't go too far, today we have to find Hu Guiyang to compete in martial arts anyway." ”

"It's just outside the alley." Qiu Lianshi Road, and the forest layer dye open the umbrella, leading the way in front.

Xiao Killing Xiong caught up and asked suspiciously: "There is no snow or rain, you two big men, what kind of umbrella do you have?" ”

"Be prepared, what if it snows?" Qiu Lianshi said with a smile.

"When it snows, it falls on you, and you don't need an umbrella."

"We are weak, not stronger than you."

"Hehe, I didn't see you so weak at the beginning." Xiao Kill Xiong shook his head again and again.

There is a teahouse at the end of the alley, and the forest layer is dyed to open the door, and Qiu Lianshi invites everyone into the store.

There were no tea drinkers in the store, but there were two tables of banquets, the dishes were sumptuous, and they were all steaming, and there were already seven people sitting at one table, all of them in their twenties and thirties, all dressed in the same tight-fit, like an apprentice brought out by a master.

All seven of them also had an umbrella on their bodies, either in their hands or behind their backs.

Xiao Shouxiong and the others were stunned, standing at the door and not going any further, Jiang Dongxia recognized the faces of two of them, "These are all strangers from the government back then, right?" ”

"Exactly, please take a seat first, and I'll introduce you to you. Rest assured, a stranger is a stranger, regardless of the government and the rivers and lakes, the loss of divine power is our common calamity. ”

Xiao Kill Xiong was bold, the first to sit down, pick up the wine and drink, and the others also found a place to sit down one after another.

Lin Tieran did not sit at the table, and sat at the door of the store with a stool.

Qiu Lianshi first introduced the names of the seven government strangers, and then introduced the rivers and lakes strangers, and both sides politely bowed their hands, both of which looked relatively cold.

Although Jiang Dongxia is not the strongest among the six, he is well-informed, and he can be regarded as the default leader, so he got up and said: "Brother Qiu is gracious, I will wait for my heart." There is no need to rush to enjoy the wine and food, but it is Brother Qiu's intention, it is best to make it clear first, otherwise, we will feel uneasy. ”

Hearing these words, Xiao Shouxiong reluctantly put down his chopsticks.

Qiu Lianshi asked Jiang Dongxia to sit down, and he sat down himself, "Does Jiang Daxia think that these seven people are supporting me?" No, I brought them here precisely to show my sincerity to you, although there were a large number of strangers in the government back then, most of them were willing to be mortals after losing their divine power, and only these seven practiced the Fa hard. Therefore, the aspirants among the aliens are all here. ”

"Not necessarily, Luo is also practicing, she is not here, but in Zhao's house." Xiao Killing Xiong retorted.

Qiu Lianshi said: "The Tao is different, and the ambitions of Luo and us are different. ”

"What's the difference?" Jiang Dongxia must ask to understand.

"The Luo clan has defected to the imperial court, and now he is working exclusively for the East Palace, only seeking to excel among mortals, and he has no interest in regaining his divine power."

"And the Inhumans don't want to reclaim their powers?" Xiao Kill Bear couldn't understand.

Qiu Lianshi smiled slightly, "Everyone has their own ambitions, and aliens are no exception. For example, the official aliens, although they have obtained divine power, have always been under the control of the imperial court, and it is rare to experience the benefits of divine power, so once they lose it, they are relieved. ”

"As for Luo, she thinks that the order of respect and inferiority is determined by heaven, and even if a mortal gets divine power, he will become the emperor's medicinal material, so it is better to stay away from divine power and only be a mortal with profound skills."

"Learn from me, if everyone had left the capital earlier, they wouldn't have been deceived." Xiao Kill Xiong looked at Zhang Yi and Li Ou, and said angrily: "Let's not mention it, don't think it's just forgetting, everyone's divine power has been robbed, and you two are the culprits." ”

Leo was furious and got up to make a move, but was stopped by Zhang.

"Brother Xiao is right, we are indeed the culprits." Zhang Yi didn't deny it, and sighed, "What did we get in the end?" Because I was too arrogant at that time, I was too arrogant and my merits and demerits were comparable, and I have been idle at home, and I have even lost my position in the East Palace, and I will never be trusted again. Brother Li was even more unlucky, why did the family run, but in the end Shenyu was handed over to Hu Guiyang, he got nothing, and he didn't even say a word of gratitude. ”

Li Ou was told the central matter, picked up the wine glass and drank it all, no longer planning to keep it secret, and said loudly: "A few days ago, I also passed on the word for He Sanchen, which can be regarded as completing the last task, and from then on I will break off with her!" ”

"Passing the word?"

"What's the word?"

"When have you seen He Sanchen?"

Several people asked at the same time.

"It was still a few years ago, He Sanchen asked me to wait for Hu Guiyang to get married, tell him to get ready, get married honestly, and don't do anything else."

"Why didn't you tell everyone earlier?" Xiao Kill Xiong said angrily.

"It has nothing to do with you, why should I say it?" Leo glared back.

Qiu Lianshi said: "This is all a trivial matter, but from now on, we have to join forces, trust each other, and regain divine power together." ”

Leo's anger had not subsided, and he squinted his eyes and said, "Why should we trust you? It's a bit weird for a big man to have an umbrella in winter. ”

Qiu Lianshi waved the umbrella in his hand lightly and said with a smile: "It's not a secret, this is not an umbrella, but a special casing, we not only practice internal strength, but also learn the Heavenly Technique." ”

Xiao Kill Xiong and the others were startled at first, and then became vigilant.

Qiu Lianshi put the umbrella aside and continued: "To answer Brother Zhang's original question: All of us are funded by Immortal Li and do things for him. ”

The six people knew who Immortal Li was, and Zhao Aqi asked suspiciously: "You also took refuge in the government, what is the difference between you and the Luo family?" ”

"There is a big difference, the East Palace is always the imperial court, but Li Xianchang may not."

"What do you mean?"

"Immortal Li said that he has done so many things for the imperial court, and he also wants to think about himself occasionally, as long as we are willing to share our divine power, he is willing to help secretly."

The crowd was silent.

Qiu Lianshi said: "I think none of us will have the Divine Jade alone, right?" ”

Everyone shook their heads, and Xiao Tan said with some excitement: "'Exclusive' is the source of all evil, we lost our divine power because of this thought, I just want to get back my original divine power, and that's enough." ”

Several other people agreed, and Li Ou said: "Xiao Tan has a point, but I still don't believe in my heart, it's not that I don't believe you, but I don't believe in Li Zixing, after all, he is the emperor's favorite minister, who knows what medicine he sells in his gourd?" Maybe it's another conspiracy. ”

Qiu Lianshi took out an iron box from his arms, opened the two layers of lids, and revealed a jade pendant inside, "Immortal Li can't come here in person, but he is willing to offer this thing to show his sincerity." ”

Xiao Shouxiong stood up suddenly, "You have already snatched the Divine Jade?" ”

Qiu Lianshi shook his head with a smile, "This is not a divine jade, but one of several golden pills created with Brother Xiao's divine power." ”

"It turned out to be the seven of you!" Xiao Killing Xiong suddenly thought about the seven people who were besieging him at the beginning, and pounced on the seven people at the next table.

Zhao Aqi and Xiao Tan hugged him firmly.

Qiu Lianshi said: "What happened in the past, why should Brother Xiao care? There is no difference in divine power, and after retrieving the divine jade, we will give you one more. ”

Xiao Kill Xiong sat down again, still indignant.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Qiu Lianshi raised his wine glass, "Let's drink this cup together, and then catch Hu Guiyang, look for Shenyu, and catch He Sanchen, how about it?" ”
