There was silence in the lobby, Zhang Xuan looked at the headless Yang Qi's corpse in a daze, the blood gushing out of his neck flowed all over the ground, his mind was still blank, he had only been in the Sui Dynasty for a few months, and he had encountered such a bizarre thing.

Who are these three women? Just cut off the head of the hall master so easily, Yang Qi didn't have the slightest decent resistance, as if it was a matter of course to cut off his head.

But even if a dog is killed, it will struggle to bark twice!

Also, how do they know their names? After thinking about it, there is only one explanation, they have long been lurking in the martial arts hall, and they heard their registration, but.... Look at the woman's figure, the flowing bloomer pants, where has he really seen it.

Could it be..... He suddenly remembered the cold and arrogant woman in black in Wuchuan Mansion, could it be her?

Jang Xuan's mind was in a mess, and he seemed to have vaguely guessed the origin of these female assassins.

He stepped forward to pick up the black turtle shell, it was indeed a complete turtle shell, only the size of a palm, Zhang Xuan accidentally found that a burning fire phoenix was drawn on the front of the turtle shell, lifelike, as if chirping for nine days.

"Whoa!" There was a loud noise next to him, which startled Jang Hyun and saw a table that had been erected fall over.

Zhang Xuan felt that there was someone behind the table, he stepped forward with a knife, but saw Liao Tong curled up behind the table, trembling all over.

Zhang Xuan grabbed him up, "Who were those three women in black just now?" ”

"Yes..... Xuanwu Fire Phoenix! Liao Tong's teeth chattered.

Zhang Xuan smelled a stench, and saw some yellow juice dripping out of Liao Tong's trouser tube, Zhang Xuan was angry and funny, threw him on the ground, and lowered his head and asked him, "What is the Xuanwu Fire Phoenix?" ”

"I don't know!"

Liao Tong didn't know where he got the courage, jumped up and ran outside, only to hear him wave his hand and shout, "I don't know, I don't know anything!" ”

Zhang Xuan didn't catch him, watching him run away, he thought that he had been lurking in the martial arts hall for seven days, just to get close to Yang Qi, but these three women were even more powerful, and they came up and cut off Yang Qi's head.

Thinking of the woman saying that this martial arts hall belonged to her when she left, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but smile bitterly, did they really think that they were here to ask for debts?

At this time, he saw the long sword next to Yang Qi's corpse, the cold light was shining, it was abnormally sharp, and something else did not belong to him, but this sword should belong to him, this was his color to defeat Yang Qi.

He had wanted to fight for a silver medal in the 'Disciple of Yang Qi', but it seemed that this sword would help him achieve his plans.

Zhang Xuan stepped forward and inserted the sword into the scabbard, and there was a gold ingot not far away, which was also the color of the winner this time, and he picked it up and put it in his arms.

It doesn't matter who it is, it's his own business, he put the sword on his waist and walked away.

．．．．．．．

Zhang Xuan came to the Wude Weapon Shop again, although he didn't want to ask about the Xuanwu Fire Phoenix, but an intuition told him that since the Xuanwu Fire Phoenix assassinated Yang Qi, it was probably aimed at Yang Xuangan, and if he took it lightly, he would eventually fail in their hands.

Zhang Xuan walked into the store, and at a glance saw the white and chubby shopkeeper Liu, he stepped forward and smiled: "Does shopkeeper Liu still remember me?" ”

"You are?" Shopkeeper Liu scratched his head, "I seem to see you very familiar." ”

"I came to buy a knife seven days ago, and I forgot about it, did the shopkeeper forget?"

"Oh-"

Shopkeeper Liu suddenly realized, "It turned out to be Zhang Gongzi, why, Zhang Gongzi still wants that knife?" ”

Zhang Xuan smiled and nodded, Shopkeeper Liu was a little moved, this is an expert in knowing goods, no matter what, the knife must be sold to him.

"Please follow me!"

Shopkeeper Liu took Zhang Xuan to the back room, he took out the simple heavy knife from the box, put it on the table and said with a smile: "Maybe it's the will of God, I have sold four of the six heavy knives, but this one and the other have not been sold, it is destined to belong to the son!" ”

The shopkeeper remembered that Zhang Xuan had paid him ten yuan last time, so he smiled and said: "For the sake of Zhang Gongzi's fate with it, I will be cheaper for five times, as long as it is forty-five yuan, Zhang Gongzi can take it away!" ”

Zhang Xuan took out the turtle shell from his arms and put it on the table, and asked with a faint smile, "Is it okay to use this?" ”

The shopkeeper's eyes were straight, and he took a few steps back like seeing a ghost, but his legs were weak, and he fell to his knees, kowtowing like pounding garlic, "The villain doesn't know the identity of the son, and the son spares his life!" Spare your life! ”

Zhang Xuan remembered the fear of the people in the martial arts hall when they saw it, and now this shopkeeper is the same, he just wanted to do a prank, not really to scare the shopkeeper, so he hurriedly helped the shopkeeper up, "This turtle shell is not mine, I picked it up in the Yang Martial Arts Hall, the shopkeeper doesn't need to be afraid." ”

"You.... You're not Xuanwu? The shopkeeper asked cautiously with fear on his face.

"It's also the first time I've heard about the Xuanwu Fire Phoenix today, what is it?"

The shopkeeper wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and slowly stood up, he should have thought of how could a real Xuanwu Fire Phoenix come to his store to buy a knife.

He remembered what Zhang Xuan said just now, and was shocked in his heart, and asked again: "Gongzi just said that this turtle shell was picked up in the Yang Clan's Martial Arts Pavilion?" ”

Zhang Xuan nodded, "Pavilion owner Yang Qi was killed by three women in black, and everyone was scared half to death when he dropped this turtle shell. ”

The shopkeeper let out a long sigh, "Evil! Yang Qi must have been implicated by Yang Xuangan, he knew that he couldn't escape, what was he doing in Luoyang? ”

"What the hell is the Xuanwu Fire Phoenix?"

The shopkeeper smiled bitterly and said: "This Xuanwu Huofeng is actually a killer organization, generally in groups of three, Xuanwu is a man, Huofeng is a woman, often kills people on the lively streets, the means are bloody and cruel, regardless of whether it hurts civilians, I remember the most cruel time was in the second year of the Great Cause, nine Xuanwu killers killed all the 325 people who participated in the social sacrifice outside Chang'an City, causing a sensation, so no one in the Great Sui was not afraid. ”

"And what is their background?"

"There are several theories, one is that the Xuanwu Fire Phoenix was founded by the current Shengshang and the former prince Yang Yong when they were fighting for the position of the crown prince, and it belongs directly to the Shengshang, and the other is that it belongs to the military and is controlled by Yuwenshu, but there is another theory that the Xuanwu Fire Phoenix was controlled by the Guanlong nobles and was their killing weapon."

"Guanlong nobles?"

The shopkeeper glanced at him, "Have you heard of the Eight Pillars?" Their family controls Guanlong, so they are called Guanlong nobles, and the Yang family of today's son is also one of the Guanlong nobles. ”

Of course, Zhang Xuan knew very well that the seven generals in charge of the Western Wei Dynasty plus the Yuan clan of the imperial family were collectively known as the Eight Pillars Kingdom, such as the Yuwen clan, the Yuan clan, the Dugu clan, the Zhao clan, the Li clan, the Yu clan, and the Hou Mo Chen clan, including Li Yuan's grandfather Li Hu and Li Mi's great-grandfather Li Bi.

Yang Jian's grandfather, Yang Zhong, belonged to the twelve generals second only to the Eight Pillars, and the Eight Pillars and the Twelve Generals formed the Guanlong aristocratic group, which was the largest force in the Great Sui Dynasty.

If Xuanwu Huofeng is a subordinate of the Guanlong nobles, then Wuchuan Mansion is an educational institution founded by the Guanlong nobles.

At this time, a thought jumped into Zhang Xuan's heart, which seemed to indicate some kind of truth, but it was vague, and he was silent for a while.

The shopkeeper cautiously asked, "Could it be that Childe is also injured?" ”

'Hurt! Zhang Xuan suddenly remembered Li Mi, it was supposed to be Li Mi to go to Wagang, but after Li Mi was killed by himself, it was changed to Li Jiancheng to go to Wagang.

Aren't Li Mi and Li Jiancheng both belonging to Wuchuan Mansion? And Wuchuan Mansion was founded by the Guanlong nobles, Zhang Xuan's thinking suddenly became clear, and the Guanlong nobles were the masterminds behind all major events, including Yang Xuangan's rebellion, Li Mi's incorporation of Wagang, and even Li Yuan's army in Taiyuan.

Xuanwu Huofeng killed Yang Qi, which was actually killing people and destroying his mouth, so would Xuanwu Huofeng continue to hunt Yang Xuangan?

Zhang Xuan felt that time was waiting for no one, he took out five taels of gold and put it on the table, "Thank you shopkeeper, I will come to your store in the future." ”

Zhang Xuan got up and arched his hand, picked up the heavy knife on the table and turned away, leaving behind the confused shopkeeper.
