Chapter Twenty-Six: Shocking Changes

Xue Hongbi didn't sleep well this night.

He was probably born with a cheap life, accustomed to taking the sky as the quilt and the earth as a seat, and for a while he couldn't sleep on the soft pillow of the high bed, and the satin quilt with the smell of smoke was covered on his body, and it was not as good as the old bedding in Shui Yunze's hut to make him feel at ease.

The room was lit with fine red sandalwood, and Xue Hongbi finally felt a little drowsy because of the smell, and there was always the sound of wind whirring in her ears. Fu Yuanyu didn't know which tendon was wrong, so he didn't go to bed earlier after bathing, but dressed up seriously, sat at the window and poured himself a drink.

Xue Hongbi always likes to recruit him on weekdays, but now he doesn't dare to make a mistake inexplicably, so he can only lie on the bed and hypnotize himself, his consciousness has never fallen asleep, and he recalls the past in a half-dream.

It has been three months with this man, and his mother Bai Li lost a cup of dice before her death, and half-jokingly promised to deal with his unborn child as a righteous son, but unfortunately this agreement was fulfilled twelve years late, and Du Sanniang, who raised him, did not do loss-making business in his life, but in the end, he put his life into it, and was willing to send them out of Yanzhou.

However, when Xue Hongbi finally accepted the repeated blows and decided to live up to the wishes of the deceased and get along with this freshly baked father-in-law, God played a bad joke on him again, this godfather who was entrusted by his biological father and adoptive mother was not only the devil, but also the person who indirectly killed them.

Fu Yuanyu could have deceived a stable life of father and son, but he didn't give him half of his wishful thinking, so the "righteous father" was buried in Xue Hongbi's stomach on the day the truth was revealed, and he refused to say it anyway.

After three months of getting along day and night, and nearly 100 days of estrangement, Xue Hongbi knew him a lot, and found that he couldn't understand him more and more.

Tossing and turning, Xue Hongbi really couldn't sleep, so she simply sat up.

"Do what?" Fu Yuanyu didn't light the lamp, but his gaze pierced through the darkness like a sharp sword and fell straight on him.

Xue Hongbi said: "Get up, get up all night." ā€

"There's a bucket behind the screen."

"I—I'd better go out." Xue Hongbi inexplicably didn't want to be in the same room with him at this time, and his intuition that he had exercised since childhood made him smell danger.

Fu Yuanyu looked at him for a long time, and when the cold sweat behind Xue Hongbi gradually appeared, he finally looked away and said lightly: "Be careful." ā€

Xue Hongbi was pardoned, put on his clothes and ran out, just as he was about to go out, he suddenly paused, hesitantly turned his head, and looked at the figure that was blurred in the dark.

Fu Yuanyu asked softly, "What's wrong?" ā€

"You...... Just said that they were waiting for ......" After hesitating again and again, Xue Hongbi still had the courage to ask, "Who are they?" and so on...... And who? ā€

Fu Yuanyu sneered.

Xue Hongbi turned his head in disappointment, but the moment the door closed, he heard a voice leaking through the crack in the door: "They are waiting for Bu Hanying, I am waiting for the show to begin." ā€

Xue Hongbi was stunned, she didn't understand the meaning of his words, and wanted to ask for an understanding, but the door was already closed.

A cold wind with moisture blew over, and Xue Hongbi stood in front of the door for a while, finally shrunk her neck and went down with her clothes.

At this time, it was already the second half of the night, even the Qinlou Chu Pavilion had stopped singing, and the benefactors either went home separately, or slept soundly in the gentle township, and the huge building boat floated silently on the water, turning into a monster in the night, and the creaking sound of the wooden staircase was like a gasp before breathing.

Xue Hongbi let go of the water and vented the inexplicable depression, then washed her hands contentedly and prepared to go upstairs to sleep.

At this moment, a hand suddenly reached from behind and grabbed his shoulder.

In an instant, Xue Hongbi's hairs stood up, in such a quiet place, not only did he not hear the breathing of the person coming, but he also didn't even notice the sound of footsteps, which showed that this person was not only light and strong, but also had a very deep internal force, and he was definitely not his opponent!

His right hand was already on the back of the opponent's hand, and he withdrew five points of strength, and without hesitation under his fingers, he locked the man's middle finger and lifted it up, and before anyone could react, a slight bone cracking sound suddenly sounded, and his shoulder suddenly loosened.

Xue Hongbi didn't have time to look back, leaned forward and dived, and was about to break free, only to hear a soft sound from behind, an iron palm hit his back, his throat was sweet, and the whole person flew out like a kite with a broken string, and hit the side of the ship heavily, and his internal organs seemed to roll over.

Before he could get up from the ground, he spit out a mouthful of blood, and then a blue shadow floated over, and Sanzhang Bai Lian wrapped around his neck like a white python out of a hole, choking all the shouts he wanted to come out of, forcing him to raise his head.

"The eldest brother is too heavy, but the alliance leader has ordered to catch him alive." The woman in the emerald jacket and blue skirt stood behind Xue Hongbi, Bai Lian did not relax in the slightest in her hand, and smiled strangely in front of her.

"This kid has a virtue with the old devil, and he is ruthless!"

The person who moved his palm came out of the shadows, it was a man in his forties, his appearance was not good, he was wearing a green coat and a short fight, and the fingers that were accidentally broken by Xue Hongbi had been reset, but he was still spasming uncontrollably, it can be seen that the ten fingers even hurt into the bone marrow, no wonder he was angry.

Xue Hongbi recognized them, one was a nurse, and the other was a wine lady who was laughing with people.

Mixed in such two people on the territory of Feixian Building, and even dared to do it in the building boat, Xue Hongbi "chuckled" in his heart, the white line on his neck made him breathless, and he bent his elbow with his backhand and hit the woman's waist, but he dispersed the internal force that had been secretly accumulated, and was easily taken over.

"The minions haven't grown yet, and they want to bite people?"

The woman chuckled, but her subordinates were not ambiguous, and directly unscrewed off Xue Hongbi's left elbow, Bai Lian fell down, and tied his hands behind him, the man in Tsing Yi stepped forward, connected several big points on Xue Hongbi's body, and made sure that he couldn't move, so he gestured to the woman, and the two lifted Xue Hongbi and flew up, flew across the river like walking on the ground, and quickly disappeared on the Zhongchu River.

Most of the inns and liquor stores in Jiangcheng are closed tonight, but there is a tavern on the other side of the Zhongchu River that is brightly lit.

The door was knocked seven times, three long and four short, and the people in the lobby who were waiting for each other glanced at each other, and one of them stepped forward to open the door, and when he saw the person who came, he was happy and immediately let him in.

The man in Tsing Yi threw Xue Hongbi to the ground, hugged his fists with his senior sister and said: "Meet the alliance leader, the two of us are fortunate to have caught the thief!" ā€

The middle-aged man sitting at the head of the long table was Fang Huaiyuan, he got up and said, "Hard work two, please sit down and drink a glass of water and wine, and take a break!" ā€

After that, he asked Xue Hongbi to be set up, and raised his hand to solve the acupoint.

"Ahem-" Xue Hongbi spat out a mouthful of blood, trying to break free from the shackles but unable to do anything, he had to look up at these people, he didn't know any of them, but he sensed a killing intent from these people that could not be misunderstood.

Looking around, he looked at Fang Huaiyuan in front of him, and asked in a dumb voice, "Who are you?" ā€

"Martial Arts League."

In just three words, Xue Hongbi's heart trembled, he knew that he would inevitably be intolerable to black and white with Fu Yuanyu, but he didn't expect the Wulin League to come to the door so early, or in this place.

Fang Huaiyuan carefully looked at his face, didn't know what he saw, and asked, "Are you the son of Rainstorm Pear Blossom, Fu Yuanyu's righteous son?" ā€

Xue Hongbi asked rhetorically, "What does it have to do with you?" The Martial Arts League governs the heavens and the earth, and it doesn't care if others can't be reincarnated! ā€

As soon as these words came out, everyone else showed anger, and a man with a more angry temper said to Fang Huaiyuan: "Alliance leader, this little thief is arrogant, you can't be too polite to him, or use some means, don't be afraid that he will be thick-skinned and hard-mouthed!" ā€

Xue Hongbi's original intention was to provoke them, and when he heard this, he immediately understood that the person in front of him was the current martial arts alliance leader Fang Huaiyuan, and his heart suddenly felt cold, but once he became the leader of a party, he would no longer be able to do whatever he wanted, Fang Huaiyuan would lead so many people to come to Jiangcheng secretly, and arrest people in Feixian Tower, he must have known Fu Yuanyu's whereabouts and had already laid a heavy ambush!

For a moment, he thought of the abnormality of Jiangcheng tonight, although the Wulin League had a huge influence in the rivers and lakes, if it was to let the officers and soldiers of the city ban it, he had to rely on the power of the imperial court, and this force had nothing else to think about except listening to the Yuge.

Just as he was out of his mind, a hand bent into a claw and landed on his shoulder, and the domineering internal force penetrated through the body, raging and bursting between the meridians, Xue Hongbi was already suffering internal injuries, and his face changed drastically at this time, and he almost fell to his knees without strength.

"Child, a devil like Fu Yuanyu is used to being hypocritical, and it's not worth your insistence on anything for him."

Fang Huaiyuan stopped the man from making another move, lowered his eyes and looked at Xue Hongbi, who was pale, and said: "Twelve years ago, he killed the generalissimo of Zhenbei on the occasion of the Wule Knock Pass, causing thousands of people in the border city to be wiped out, and participated in the rebellion, committing a lot of blood debts in the martial arts. ā€

The more Xue Hongbi listened, the more suspicious he became, he was still in the fog about what happened twelve years ago, and he didn't know about the killing of dozens of knights in the rivers and lakes later, since he left Nanyang City, the two of them can be said to be inseparable, Fu Yuanyu was still teaching him martial arts in Shui Yunze a month ago, where did he come to Yunzhou to kill?

He opened his mouth to refute two sentences, but he couldn't help but think that he heard the sentence "wait for the show to begin" before he went out, and he was speechless for a while.

Thinking back to all kinds of things that happened after entering Yunzhou, Fu Yuanyu always had a subtle attitude that was ominous, and the old demon seemed to have expected all this, but he didn't let him know.

Seeing that Xue Hongbi didn't speak, everyone only thought that he recognized these things, and it was inevitable that the crowd would be excited, Fang Huaiyuan raised his hand to suppress the noise, and said in a deep voice: "What is Fu Yuanyu going to do when he comes to Yunzhou this time?" ā€

Xue Hongbi didn't know, so naturally he wouldn't answer him.

At this time, a female voice came from the crowd: "Master Fang Alliance, this thief is the righteous son of the old demon, and his net worth and life are tied to him, you don't have to waste your words on him." ā€

Xue Hongbi raised her head, only to see a gorgeous and enchanting beauty coming out of the crowd, clearly dressed as a strong girl, but her voice was completely different from before, sounding strange and familiar.

"Fu Yuanyu is about to die, he wants to be brilliant in the end, killing a few people is nothing, the chaos in the rivers and lakes is the funeral he is satisfied with, and to set off this bloody storm, it is not enough for him to do it alone." The beautiful woman sneered and looked at Xue Hongbi with disdain, "Nong Niang is a henchman who has followed Fu Yuanyu for thirty-two years, even after the battle of Wahuang Peak, he only disobeyed Zhou Jiangyun Yang, and in the past twelve years, he has helped Fu Yuanyu hide his whereabouts with the help of the intelligence hub of Feixian Tower, and secretly has done a lot of things for him, no matter what Fu Yuanyu wants to do, he has to come here to see Nong Niang first." ā€

Xue Hongbi finally remembered, this voice was like a jade flawless who left early!

He looked at this beautiful woman in disbelief, but the other party looked at him stingily, turned to Fang Huaiyuan and said: "Fu Yuanyu has no children under his knees, and the only apprentice has turned against him, he wants to find someone as a inheritance and fulfill his last wish for himself, so only this little thief is left alone, if I expect it to be true, this little thief is probably hiding clumsy, and is ready to find a chance to escape." ā€

As soon as these words came out, Fang Huaiyuan's eyes turned sharp, and he shot at Xue Hongbi like lightning, the latter only felt that the murderous aura was coming, and instinctively used the interception force, shaking the two people on the left and right at the same time, and pushing these two people in front of him with his backhand, blocking Huaiyuan's thunderous palm below!

The next moment, the beautiful woman's slender hand fell like a ghost claw, covering the spiritual platform above his head, Xue Hongbi was so frightened that his soul was about to make a move, the cold internal force had penetrated into his body, he snorted and fell to his knees, and the bones and slag seemed to be frozen.

Even if it was only for a moment, Xue Hongbi could also recognize that this was also the power of intercepting the sky, but he was the main yang, and this woman was the main yin.

How many women in the world are proficient in disguise, know Fu Yuanyu's whereabouts well, and can practice "Heaven Interception"?

Xue Hongbi looked up at her and muttered, "Jade ...... Flawless ......"

On the face that belonged to Nong Niang, a familiar smile slowly bloomed, confirming his conjecture in his heart.

Xue Hongbi was like falling into an ice cave at this moment.

"In that case, take him down first, and then hand him over to Tingyu Pavilion after the matter is over."

Fang Huaiyuan's palm was like a thunderbolt, and he sent and received freely at the critical moment, and the two people who were pushed by Xue Hongbi to block the move were unscathed, and at this moment, he followed the instructions and set him up again, but the hand was heavier, and he directly removed his shoulder joints.

There were many people in the tavern, Fang Huaiyuan ordered six more people to leave with them, and Xue Hongbi was still staring at Yu Wufang until she was pushed out of the tavern, as if she wanted to dig two holes in her.

Yu Wufang didn't look at him again, and the other party Huaiyuan said: "After catching this kid, Fu Yuanyu will soon notice that something is wrong." ā€

"Then do it." Fang Huaiyuan said coldly, "He has been on the run for twelve years, it's time to come to an end." ā€

An old man behind him hesitated: "But...... The Lord of the Foot Mountain has not yet arrived. ā€

Fang Huaiyuan's face sank: "If he doesn't come, won't we be able to kill Fu Yuanyu?" ā€

This time, with ten grace orders, he invited Bu Hanying out of the mountains and into the Central Plains, although Fang Huaiyuan was the first to hand over the order on the face of Tingyu Pavilion, he was unwilling in his heart, he and Fu Yuanyu had new and old hatreds, and Han Ying could not be regarded as a friendship and harmony, not to mention that the other party was born outside the Guan, when did the matter of the Central Plains martial arts need to be done by outsiders?

The old man immediately stopped, and a man dressed as a scribe hurriedly stepped forward and said, "What the alliance leader said is very true! Bu Hanying lost to Fu Yuanyu twelve years ago, so he fled back to Hanshan with serious injuries, what if he was defeated by one more man? This time, we have made comprehensive arrangements, and we have all my colleagues working together to help, it is time for Fu Lao Demon to pay for his blood debt! ā€

Whether they genuinely agreed or pretended to agree, everyone laughed.

Only Yu Wufang and Fang Huaiyuan did not smile.

Yu Wufang looked at Fang Huaiyuan's back, Fang Huaiyuan walked out of the door of the tavern, raised his eyes to look at the boat moored on the river not far away, his expression changed, and his eyes were dim.

Hearing that Yu Pavilion opened a net to control the city, Yu Wufang killed Nong Niang and replaced him, cutting off Fu Yuanyu's only remaining arm, and behind Fang Huaiyuan were elite masters from the various sects of the White Dao, there was no one who sold his reputation and reputation, and there was no one who was greedy for life and afraid of death.

From the moment Fu Yuanyu stepped into Jiangcheng, he was destined to have no return, and he would definitely die.

But why did he feel nervous while he was excited?

No one answered him.

Bangzi rang three times, three watches, and the time came.

On the twenty-third day of the lunar month, heavy snow covered the ground, and the long river was frozen.

There was a dead silence in the city.
