The twelve alleys were blazing, reflecting the black sky with a red light.

Li Xiangru sat there and stretched the Baipi knife horizontally on his lap, holding his chin with both hands, his expression flickering.

At the corner of the alley, a black-clothed masked man hurriedly ran over, ran to Li Xiangru and knelt down on one knee, clasped his hands into fists and saluted: "Childe, the position of the third lady has been exposed, and Gu Daoming and Qing Feng, the thirteenth helmsman of the Tsing Yi Gang, have already led people to ask for someone." There are a few masters of the Cloud Returning Period. Over there, I'm afraid I won't be able to support it!"

Li Xiangru's expression was grim when he heard this, and after thinking for a while, he stood up and hung the Baipi knife behind his back, walked a few steps, frowned and said, "Hmm." You send people to guard the ugly girl, you can't let them be harmed, if the situation is not right, take them out of Ning'an Town, and find a safe place to settle properly!"

"Yes!" the man in black commanded.

Li Xiangru strode towards the Twelve Alleys.

"Childe!" suddenly shouted the man in black.

Li Xiangru stopped and looked back at the man in black suspiciously.

"Childe ......" The man in black hesitated, but still opened his mouth to persuade: "You are injured now, and now you are afraid of ...... over there."

Li Xiangru understood the words of the man in black when he heard this, nodded and comforted: "It's okay! It's just a little skin injury." I'm going to go over and see, it's best if there's a chance to rescue the third lady, and if the enemy is too strong, it's no problem for me to get out of the way. Go and do what is done to you, and let no mistake be made.

When the man in black heard this, he had no choice but to stop dissuading, looked at Li Xiangru's departing back, sighed, turned around and disappeared into the black.

......................................................

In the twelfth alley, several houses with apricot blossom wine shops are on fire, and you can still smell the faint smell of wine in the firelight.

At the entrance of Lane 12,

A man in blue and white Confucian clothes, with a cold and arrogant face, stared coldly at a tall man in front of him.

A man in a blue and white Confucian suit holds an iron fan in his hand.

The man holds two hammers.

"Second Senior Brother, why do you bother?" said the man in blue and white Confucian clothes lightly.

"Phew, Qingyun, you don't deserve to be called a certain senior brother, there has never been a fellow disciple like you!" The man who was called the second senior brother by the man was the blacksmith. Tonight, his purpose is the man called Qingyundi in front of him, the thirteenth rudder of the Tsing Yi Gang, and Gu Tsing Yi's son-in-law Qingyun.

Qingyun sighed and said, "You are still haunted by the events of the past! Senior Sister Zhu'er ......"

"Shut up!!Straight lady thief!You still have the face to mention Zhu'er!If it weren't for you, how could she die of depression!!How could the master be killed by you?!Not only did you kill them, but you also blamed the senior brother for so many troubles!!After the junior sister Zhu'er left, you fell under the Tsing Yi Gang and became his son-in-law Gu Qingyun! What kind of face do you have to talk to a certain Zhu'er?!A certain person is going to dig out your heart tonight to see if it is red or black!" The ox blacksmith roared like thunder, picked up the hammer and rushed straight over.

A hint of murder flashed in Qingyun's eyes, he had more important things to do tonight, and he didn't want to waste his time on a blacksmith. Gu Daoming had already led people to rush into the wine shop, if it weren't for this dead blacksmith, he would have led people to rush into the wine shop! But this blacksmith was as stubborn as his surname! Seeing that the big blacksmith rushed to kill the oil and salt, he no longer hesitated, the iron fan raised horizontally to his chest, and pinched the mechanisms at both ends of the iron fan with both hands.

The fire began to burn from the backyard of the wine shop and spread to the wings, but the fire was very evil, Qingyun inquired about his subordinates, and also sent someone to ask Gu Daoming's side, but said that they didn't put it.

The apricot blossom wine in the wine shop, they have all tasted it, it is very good. The old man who sells apricot blossom wine is surnamed Deng, and no one knows what his specific name is, only that his surname is Deng, and he just needs to be called Old Man Deng. Many people surrounding this wine shop have also seen Old Man Deng, always putting on a stinky face, and seeing that most of the customers who buy wine are not smiling and strange old man, but his wine is brewed well.

Buying wine, of course, is for the wine, a sixty or seventy-year-old rickety old man, neither a beautiful yellow-haired girl, nor a half-aged beautiful widow, whether the service attitude is good or not is not so important.

The old man in the wine shop, although he didn't have a good language for most of the guests, he didn't really do anything to anyone, and there were always some cheeky drunkards who came over to rub the wine and drink, and there was a place on credit. Old man Deng is also scolding, but he has never really gone to the house of those drunkards who are on credit to ask for wine money, in fact, even if they ask for it, those drunkards who love to pay on credit are all prodigals with four walls. For example, when I met Old Man Deng at the end of the alley a few days ago, he ran to the king surnamed Man.

Old man Deng was having a bad time at this time.

His face was pale, his eyes were bloodshot, and the corners of his mouth were covered with residual blood. He sat on the humble wooden bed in the wing, full of unwillingness and anger.

There were three people in the house, and a young man was guarding the doorway, looking through the crack in the door from time to time to see the situation in the courtyard, his face full of anxiety.

Standing next to her was a woman who looked no more than twenty-eight years old, the woman was petite, dressed in a goose yellow dress, with a shawl for her hair, a square face, hiding her delicate eyebrows, but the corners of her eyes were slightly wrinkled, and the tiredness and pale face in her bright eyes showed her sickness. She grabbed Old Man Deng's hands with both hands, bit her lower lip lightly, and hesitated for a moment before she could speak.

Old man Deng gently patted her hand as if he knew what was on her mind, shook his head slightly, and said, "Girl, even if you go out now, they won't show mercy." Alas...... But I was careless! I never thought that after living for nearly seventy years, I actually got poisoned in the Dao! I didn't expect that a mere Gu Daoming would be able to invite two cultivators from the Heavenly Realm. This time, I'm afraid we're going to plant it!"

"Grandpa Deng! I hurt you!" the woman knelt in front ......of Old Man Deng and cried guiltily.

When the man heard the crying, he glanced back, his eyes were full of worry, he never thought that in their eyes, he was heroic and drank and ate meat, sitting on a stool and chair with Erlang's legs cocked like a man, the third lady would actually cry?

It's not that he can't figure it out, it's just that he is too young and still lacks experience, and he doesn't understand people's hearts very well, and one thing he knows is that the grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated. Therefore, he must have fallen in front of the third lady.

If the ugly lady was here, she would have been surprised, because this man was really the bean she had been missing for half a month day and night, and the distance between them was only five alleys.

The third lady in the man's mouth is Huang Xiaowei, the third lady of the Tsing Yi Gang!

Old man Deng gently pulled Huang Xiaowei up, frowned and pretended to be angry: "Get up......! cough ......" coughed a few times because of the injury caused by talking too much, "This Gu worm of the Nine Degrees Sect is really ...... Terrible. ”

Seeing this, Huang Xiaowei was afraid that the old man would be really angry, so he immediately stood up and looked at the old man with a worried face.

Old man Deng waved his hand lightly, his face became more and more ugly, but he glanced at Huang Xiaowei, and still comforted: "It's not in the way!" Suddenly, his face was lonely, "I'm afraid they already knew that you were here, and the time to poison you was very accurate! Mingzhou was in turmoil at the border with ice and snow aliens, and the aliens broke through the barrier to invade Mingzhou, Chen Qingfeng personally led his disciples to repair the Mingzhou enchantment! Otherwise, how dare the rats of the lower three indiscriminate places come to the capital! Hmph! cough cough...... Ahem......"

Rats are what they describe as cultivators who practice evil arts, poison Gu worms and the like.

Huang Xiaowei was shocked when she heard this! From these short words, she seemed to hear a conspiracy between heaven and earth. Strictly speaking, she is only a person in the rivers and lakes, and she has only heard of cultivators and so on, and she has only learned more about cultivators under the protection of Old Man Deng in the past few days.

Old man Deng said to Huang Xiaowei with guilt: "I met your grandfather, when I first found him, he was killed by the enemy, and asked me to find your mother. After a few years of delay, when I found your mother, she was already ......"

Old man Deng lowered his eyebrows and continued: "Fortunately, your mother has you, although your mother and Gu Qingyi don't have a good relationship, that kid is still good to your mother." I've watched you grow up all these years, and do you know why I haven't been in front of you for so many years?"

Huang Xiaowei shook his head when he heard this.

Old man Deng said kindly: "Your grandfather originally had a title called Liuyun Hand, and he said that the most reliable thing is to get human body parts...... Man was not a man in the beginning, but an ape, in the most primitive time...... Cough...... They don't need to use any tools to shuttle between the beasts in the mountains and forests, and they love the flesh of the beasts. He believed in the primordial law,...... Taoism is natural. But...... Youth...... He has a fierce temperament...... Asking for advice on how to practice...... It also offended a lot of people because of this. After marrying your grandmother...... Still has the same temperament. Your grandmother was depressed all her life...... Ahem...... The only one who can keep her alive is your mother. Afterward...... Ahem...... It was only after a contest that your grandfather came to his senses...... It's too late to go back to your grandmother...... By the time he rushed home, your grandmother had died. ”

Old man Deng spoke very slowly, and he couldn't help coughing when he spoke.

The worry on Huang Xiaowei's face was even heavier, and what Old Man Deng said seemed to be explaining the future.

Old Man Deng stopped Huang Xiaowei's interruption and continued, "Your mother has never had an aura, just an ordinary person...... Including you...... Over the years, I've watched you grow up...... Ahem...... But he never officially appeared in front of you, nor did he say that he would take you as a disciple and teach you the method of cultivation...... It's you...... What does grandfather mean...... He said that he only wished that you would become ordinary people and live your life in peace and ordinary...... Difficulties and obstacles on the path of cultivation...... He doesn't want you to go. Ahem......

"Grandpa Deng...... Don't talk about it...... You'll be fine......" Huang Xiaowei burst into tears.

Old man Deng kindly stroked Huang Xiaowei's head, and said kindly: "Girl, in the past, I thought that with me, I would be able to protect you throughout your life, and see you get married and have children, so I didn't teach you the method of cultivation...... Ahem......"
