"Huh", there was a steep slope in front of him, Xin Lao did not pause, he jumped up and jumped straight down, and after his legs stood still, he took a step forward and stopped in a daze. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Info There was a familiar figure lying on the ground ten paces away, and he was startled and hurried to catch up.

"Old urge, old urge!" Helping the old man up and shaking, the old man's face suddenly changed, he grabbed the wrist of the old man, and after some investigation, he found that his whole body was broken, and he was too dead to die.

How so? Xin Lao is indeed injured, but the injury is not serious, but a cut has been made in his waist, not to say that it is not fatal, just give him some time to stop the bleeding immediately, and it has almost no impact on combat power. He knows very well that he is a master who is by no means inferior to himself, but now he is dying quietly in the blink of an eye, how not to make Xin Lao feel a heartbeat.

Don't stay here for long! This is the first thought that comes to the old man, since the other party can kill the elderly, he naturally has the ability to kill him. The corpse is still warm, which shows that the murderer will not go too far and may come back at any time. Frightened in his heart, the old man immediately got up and flew in the direction he came.

I thought that there were enough twists and turns today, but I didn't want to be surprised. When Xin Lao ran all the way back to the fork in the road, an unbelievable scene appeared in front of him. Lian Zhan, a young man who never showed his dew on weekdays, was holding the hilt of a dagger with both hands, and Xing Lie was in a stalemate.

It is said that it is a stalemate, but the old heart has gradually sunk. Except for the handle, almost half of the rest of the dagger had already entered Xing Lie's heart, and although the latter was trying hard to grasp Lian Zhan's hands, he was obviously in a state of extreme weakness, and blood continued to overflow from his mouth. Out of the corner of Xing Lie's eyes, he saw Xin Lao coming, a touch of joy appeared on his pale face, and he tried to shout: "Xin Lao, quickly kill Lian Zhan's rebellion!" ”

plucked up the courage to assassinate Xing Lie, not that Lian Zhan was not panicked, in fact, he was very afraid. As soon as this move came out, there was no way out, and if he didn't succeed, he would become a benevolent, and he was a reckless gamble. Unexpectedly, things went so smoothly, Xing Lie was too seriously injured, and although he improved after taking the pill, the fatigue that rose at the same time made him sleep without alertness, and he didn't wake up until Lian Zhan's dagger stabbed into his chest, but it seemed that it was too late.

Seeing that the goal was about to be achieved, but he didn't want to return ahead of schedule for no reason, Lian Zhan panicked in his heart and instinctively drew his knife and retreated. The entire blade was pulled out of Xing Lie's chest, and due to the damage to his organs, a large amount of blood spurted out of the wound for the first time, Xing Lie could no longer support it, and fainted as soon as his head was tilted.

"Lord!" Xin Lao quickly jumped in front of Lian Zhan, checked his injuries, and his face sank. "Lian Zhan, you are so bold, you dare to assassinate the Venerable Lord!"

Now what? Interpretation? Beg? Desperately? The three paths in front of Lien Zhan's eyes didn't seem to work. What else is there to explain in front of the facts, if begging for mercy is useful, this old man is not the old man who kills people without blinking, as for desperately... Life is certain, as for how many tricks can be spelled, it is still up for debate.

The sudden accident put Lian Zhan in a huge crisis, seeing that Xin Lao had a sinking face and walked towards him step by step, Lian Zhan panicked too much but calmed down, he quickly took out the order of the sect that he had snatched back from Xing Lie, and shouted loudly: "The order of the sect is here, according to the rules of the ancestral religion, the person who gets the decree is the sect leader!" Old heart, if you want to apostasy, you can't succeed! ”

"Heh, it is clear that you assassinated the lord and took away his decree, and you were the first to apostasy. Now that he is dying, he still wants to use this order to hold the old man hostage? Lian Zhan, I can't see that you are so bold! ”

At this point, Lian Zhan let go of it, and shouted: "The order to hold the sect was found by my father after his life, and it was passed on to me before he died. I originally wanted to dedicate this order to Xing Lie and help him become the leader of the Ancestral Sect, and he might be able to repay his kindness and hand over the spy alliance to me. But I don't want this person to be mean and unkind, don't say that the position of the lord will be honored, that is, even an elder has not been conferred. Before the dedication, I was the master of the Xuanyin Hall, and now I am! Since I can't get what I want, I naturally have to try to get back the fatwa that belongs to me! ”

When the old man heard this, his face was still gloomy, and he stared at Lian Zhan, but his steps stopped.

Lian Zhan was overjoyed when he saw this, and hurriedly hit the railway while it was hot: "The order is already in my hands." Old Heart, as long as you are willing to assist me and help me ascend to the position of sect leader, I will repay the favor and hand over all the spy alliance to you. As the saying goes, I'd rather be a chicken head than an oxtail, why do you have to go against me and be willing to succumb to others? ”

"Hmph." Xin Lao smiled coldly, and said gloomily: "What a clever tongue, as long as I kill you now and obtain the Decree of Command, I can become the sect leader myself, what use do you want?" ”

When Lian Zhan heard this, his heart suddenly sank. However, he didn't give up, and after a little pondering, he said, "You can't!" Although the five envoys of the spy alliance are no longer there, there is still an old man who is on an equal footing with you, how can he obey you. ”

"Hehe, the old urge is dead."

"This..." Lian Zhan's eyes flashed slightly, and he said, "Then it's even worse!" If Xin Lao and Xing Lie are both dead, and you take out the Decree again, then you will have the greatest suspicion, and you are the only one in the entire spy alliance who has the strength to kill them. With such a major suspicion in his body, Mo said that he couldn't pass Long Tianzhi, even the remaining hall masters in the spy alliance would not obey you. ”

“。。。” Xin Lao had to admit that what Lian Zhan said was indeed the truth. If Xing Lie and the old man died, others might not think of him, but if he took out the order to be the sect leader, this suspicion would be quite big, and it would be difficult to ignore it if he was a person.

"How? Elder Xin, I assure you that as long as others and I ascend to the position of sect leader, the ancestral sect will be shared by you and me. "Lian Zhan is still persuading." You don't have an heir, even if you become the sect leader, he won't have to pass on the throne to others in the future, so why bother with it like this, it's better to cheapen me. ”

The old man stood silently in place and stood quietly for a long time. Finally, he moved, but instead of going to Lian Zhan, he turned back to Xing Lie's side, holding the back of his neck with one hand and helping him up. Xin Lao glanced at Lian Zhan lightly, and hissed: "What you said today, if you can't do it in the future, the old man will never let you go." ”

"Ka!" A crisp and short bone cracking sound sounded, and Xing Lie's head hung weakly to the side. At the same time as the cervical vertebrae was broken, it also cut off his last ray of life. "Let's go, after this change, there are still too many things within the spy alliance that we need to go back to deal with." With that, he stood up and walked to another path.

It's done? Lian Zhan was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly chased after him.

------------------------

"Whew, whew!" ran all the way and finally came to the north gate of the capital. Jiang Yun was out of breath when he ran, bending over to support his knees and gasping hard. Looking back at Xiao Ran, who was in a happy mood and was still bouncing, his heart was full of wonders. Is this girl a professional marathon runner? Don't say panting, even the complexion has never changed. "Whew! Xiao Ran, you... Aren't you tired? ”

"I'm not tired." Xiao Ran looked at him innocently, pointed to the city gate and said, "Let's enter the city." ”

"Whew... Walk. ”

After entering the city, Jiang Yun walked straight to the east of the city. Now you can't take it lightly, this is Ji Qiyun's territory, if he knows that Jiang Yun is back, he will definitely have an accident. Jiang Yun planned to buy a fast horse immediately and hurry out of the city. This time is different from before, without taking a carriage, Pegasus went straight to Jinling, and the speed has reached the extreme, and the ambush is not so easy. As long as he leaves the south gate of the capital, he will be safe!

"Jiang Yun, look, what is that?" was walking forward hard, Xiao Ran suddenly found something, his eyes were two, and he tugged Jiang Yun's sleeve.

"What?" Jiang Yun looked in the direction of her finger and saw that it was a small stall, the stall owner was an old man in his fifties, he was holding three bamboo sticks, dipped in a ball of pale yellow, slightly transparent viscous substance and stirring constantly. Jiang Yun couldn't be more familiar with this thing, and when he was a child, he often relied on his mother to buy it for him. "That's maltose."

"Sugar? Is there still such sugar? Xiao Ran's big eyes sparkled, staring at the bamboo stick in the old man's hand motionlessly, she inadvertently raised her right hand, put her index finger in her mouth and sipped it. It looks delicious, Jiang Yun, can you buy it for me? ”

Eat? Is it time for snacks? Jiang Yun felt a big headache and wanted to refuse, but seeing that Xiao Ran could no longer resist the temptation, he ran towards the stall by himself. Jiang Yun was helpless, so he had to follow her forward.

"Bring me one."

When the business came to the door, the old man suddenly nodded with a smile, took out a large pot from the stall, and then lifted the lid of the pot, revealing a pot full of maltose as crystal clear as amber. He took three bamboo skewers from the side, held them in his hand and stirred them in the pot, and after taking them out, the bamboo skewers were already coated with a thick layer of sugar juice. "Guest, you take it."

Jiang Yun took it and threw it to Xiao Ran, who was extremely excited, and he took out a piece of broken silver from his arms and handed it over.

"This..." The old man blew up, looked at the silver and showed a wry smile, embarrassed. "The old man's sugar is two pennies, and the guest officer, your shot is two taels of silver, and you really can't find it."

"No need to look for it." Jiang Yun waved his hand, picked up Xiao Ran and left.

"It's so sweet."

"It's sticky."

"Jiang Yun, my mouth is sticky!"

Jiang Yun looked down and saw that the three bamboo sticks in Xiao Ran's hand had been licked by her, and he couldn't help but glare: "Didn't you stir it up and eat it again?" ”

"Why stir it, it's so thick, it's delicious."

"Ugh... Helplessly, the worldview of foodies is different from that of ordinary people. Jiang Yun ignored her and continued to stride forward.

"Jiang Yun, what do you think it is?"

Xiao Ran's voice sounded in his ears again, Jiang Yun felt a big headache, this is an escape! Is this girl really going shopping? "What's wrong again?"

"Look, look!" Xiao Ran took a deep breath full of intoxication. "It smells so good!"

What is it again? Jiang Yun looked at it with great dissatisfaction, and immediately stopped speaking. It was a restaurant, with some Western style, it was his idea, operated by the bank, and opened a "mosque" in the capital. . .

An "Ali Baba" uncle in fancy dress stood in front of the door, barbecuing for the crowd of stoppers, and the tempting aroma of meat was simply puffing to the nose. Stimulated by the aroma of meat, Jiang Yun also felt a little hungry. "That's a lamb kebab."

"Is it delicious?"

"Okay, okay, I'll buy it."

In fact, in this day and age, barbecue is not uncommon. Especially in the north, because the distance from Mobei is not too far, it has been somewhat influenced by some Xiongnu food culture. There is only one way for the Huns to eat cattle and sheep, that is, roasting, but they are relatively much more bold, most of them light a fire rack, and roast a whole sheep at a time.

After being roasted, divide it with a knife, and you can often see some Hun men holding a wine bag in one hand and a whole leg of mutton in the other, eating meat and drinking wine. This way of eating, although it is extremely refreshing, but the heat is not easy to control. The outside is coke and the inside is tender, but in most cases it is coke on the outside, and the inside is half-cooked, and the food is huge, and the seasoning is difficult to be even, which is not the same as the exquisite barbecue of later generations.

Jiang Yun brought a total of twenty strings back, and he had just finished eating the fifth string, and when he looked back, Xiao Ran had wiped out the remaining fifteen strings, touched his little belly with a satisfied face, and smiled extremely happily. "I'm full, Jiang Yun, let's go."

The two set off again, Xiao Ran didn't make any trouble this time, and followed obediently behind him. Jiang Yun picked a good Dawan good horse in the horse market, paid the money, he stepped on the horse, pulled Xiao Ran up again, and walked slowly towards the south gate. It was strictly forbidden to gallop in the imperial city, Jiang Yun didn't want to attract attention, so he had to endure and walk slowly, out of the south gate, he waved his horsewhip, and flew along the official road outside the city in the direction of Jinling.

As soon as the two of them ride, it stands to reason that if they change horses twice, they can reach Jiangnan in about three days, but Xiao Ran's stomach is a bottomless pit, no matter how much food is swallowed, it won't take long to be digested, in other words, she is hungry again.

It's hard to imagine that the journey of escaping for your life has really turned into a tour of the mountains and rivers, eating and drinking along the way. Originally, it only took three days to travel, but after a few weeks, Jiang Yun finally crossed the Yangtze River smoothly, and Jinling City was close at hand. After entering the city, Jiang Yun did not go to King Wu's mansion, but rushed to Mengluo's residence first.

Don't look at Monroe who doesn't care much about anything on weekdays, but she is very particular about her residence, and she can even say that she has a lot of pomp. Although her home is not the most prosperous area in Jinling City, it covers an extremely wide area, nearly half a football field. There are hundreds of subordinates and maids employed in the family, and the division of labor is clear, and the family affairs can run in an orderly manner without her worrying about it, and without worries, Monroe can focus all her attention on the development of the bank.

Jiang Yun is very much in favor of this. What do you do when you make money? Flowers, of course. He doesn't advocate unnecessary waste, but people are used to living a tasteful aristocratic life, and it's good that they can continue to maintain it after coming to the Great Zhou.

Jiang Yun had been here a few times, and he was already familiar with the way, he walked straight to the backyard of the house, bypassed a rockery, went out of the corridor, and saw an extremely magnificent double-story pavilion. There were several figures sitting on the stairs outside the house, and Evil Wind and the others were there, their faces were heavy, and they were gloomy and miserable.

"What's going on? What are you doing outside the door? Jiang Yun walked up quickly.

Seeing Jiang Yun, the evil wind was overjoyed, and hurriedly stood up, and was about to speak, when suddenly his face darkened. After shaking his head and sighing, he said in a deep voice: "Holy King, Luo Tian is about to die, you... Let's go in and see him one last time. ”
