Chapter 50: The Reason (1/2) (3500)

Seeing the other party fleeing, Wu Qiong's face was cloudy for a moment, and he wanted to catch up with him in his heart, but he also knew the truth of the poor Kou Mo chasing, if he was not careful, he would also fall into the trap and be ambushed.

For a while, he struggled in his heart, and when he barely made up his mind, a trace of the previous qi had completely disappeared, and he could no longer see the trace of the Xiahou family Keqing with a gloomy temperament, the old scholar sighed heavily, and his heart was frustrated, so far he put away his past contempt for the martial arts of the rivers and lakes.

Ye Zhuhua stood up, his face was full of shame, and he arched his hand:

"The disciple is to blame for this matter, if he can block this trick, he can be captured, but he is guilty of the idea of underestimating the enemy."

Wu Qiong was reluctant to criticize the junior who appeared here to help, and shook his head and said, "How can I blame you for this?" That person is a martial artist who is accustomed to fighting and using methods in the rivers and lakes, and his scheming is deep, how old are you, how much can you see? ”

His voice paused slightly, and he laughed at himself again: "In vain, how many sage books I have read, I feel that even if I fail to read the transcendent realm of sainthood, it can be regarded as a gain, but I never thought that when I really encountered something, I would not be as decisive as a reckless man in the rivers and lakes." ”

"Ridiculous, ridiculous......"

Ye Zhuhua was only and did not dare to answer.

Wu Qiong sighed to himself a few times, then turned around and bowed slightly towards Xue Qinshuang and Si Kou, and said with shame on his face: "There are more two high-level helpers, but they still fall short, so that the old man escaped." ”

Si Kou listened to Feng sideways and stepped out of the way, and said calmly:

"That old man should be Xu Shihua of Hedong, who has a deep and complicated mind, and has survived from danger many times, but he is unwilling to pay more attention to martial arts."

Xue Qinshuang only said that there was no need for seniors.

Wu Qiong's face became more and more ashamed.

A rough voice came from behind everyone, but it was Situ Che, a disciple of Fei Poyue who had traveled abroad, who walked over, he was injured in the shoulder in the previous hand, because the weather was hot, in order to dry the wound, he tore off one sleeve of his shirt, revealing his strong arm.

At this time, one hand was holding the sword, and the other hand was tightly clamping the Xiahou family secret guard who was knocked down by Ye Zhuhua with a scabbard, and walked towards everyone, and said:

"Old Wu, this person is still there, I just wanted to escape, but I found out, I don't know what to do? Do you want to torture one or two, or ......"

The voice paused slightly, and a pair of eyes were suddenly full of murderous intent.

The dark guard was only led forward by him.

Originally cultivated with the martial arts of the secret guard, among the three Situ Che brothers, only Tian Zhide, who was the oldest and most serious, distanced himself and could entangle with spear skills to maintain an invincible situation, and the other two were by no means opponents.

However, this secret guard was probably because he had just fought for the Wupin Realm martial artists, and when he was fleeing, he was smashed by Ye Zhuhua's condensation with a sword scabbard at the big hole behind him, and he let it drag without resisting.

If an ordinary person is hit by such a heavy blow in the acupoint behind his back, he has to lie on the ground, and he can't move for three or five hours, but he can walk, which is already quite extraordinary, which shows that the Xiahou family's secret guard is famous.

Wu Qiongyi was excited, and said with a brush:

"The secret guard of the Xiahou family has always only listened to orders, but he is not as dumb as the big inner shadow guard, and he doesn't know many things, even if he is a cool official in the city, he can't ask a clue."

Situ Che's face showed a hideous killing intent, although his brother did not die at the hands of the Xiahou family, but since the Xiahou family also secretly touched with the Xuanjian faction, with bad intentions, he naturally pressed a bloody grudge on the head of the Xiahou family in his heart, and said with a cruel smile:

"Then this person, the junior will take it down and deal with it......"

The covered secret guard had been silently watching Jiang Lan who walked out, but at this time, he suddenly spoke, Wu Qiong said that the Xiahou secret guard was different from the hidden guard of the Great Qin royal family, and he didn't need to swallow any medicine and dumb voice, but his voice didn't seem to be much better than dumb, and said indifferently:

"Thou shalt not kill me."

Wu Qiong laughed angrily, walked to the side of the secret guard, and said loudly: "You can't kill you, there are clear grievances on the rivers and lakes, and everyone who kills people will always kill them, is it possible that only your Xiahou family is allowed to kill us, and we are not allowed to kill the people of your Xiahou family?!" ”

The dark guard raised his eyes to look at him, his voice was still indifferent, and he said hoarsely:

"Today's Yiye Xuan can't."

Hit the nail on the head.

Wu Qiong's voice paused, and his anger was suppressed, and he breathed heavily, suppressed his voice, and said as calmly as possible:

"What do you have to say, ten breaths of time, give me a reason not to kill you."

The dark guard didn't play any circles, and replied without thinking:

"Yiye Xuan is now under attack in the sect, if he kills me, it will be useless, but the grudge with Xiahou will be deeper, and at this time, Yiye Xuan is like a flying canopy in the rain, unable to withstand more wind and rain."

"What's more, in the current situation, if you kill me, the Xiahou family's attack on Yiye Xuan, although the world is not knowable, my Xiahou secret guards all have rosewood name plates in the ancestral temple, with the name engraved on the front, and the birthday engraved on the back, there is my life, it is ironclad evidence, and it can also make the Xiahou family suspicious."

Wu Qiong sneered, knowing that it was best to act like this, but he still deliberately provoked him:

"The Xiahou family acts like this, according to the rules, they should be subject to the responsibilities of the rivers and lakes, and they should be assessed by the first village in the world, so why do you need to be evidence?"

The dark guard glanced at him and said succinctly:

"But the rivers and lakes don't recognize your rules and reasoning."

Only one sentence beat Wu Qiong speechless, and after a long time, he brushed his sleeves and sneered coldly:

"Betraying the clan in exchange for his own life and safety, dumping each other with the same people in the rivers and lakes, Xiahou is in the same vein, in vain as a famous family, and the old man is ashamed to be with him."

The overlay guard was still not angry, and said lightly:

"If the old gentleman really thinks so, he can kill me with a sword, if he doesn't kill and relies on me, he will be the same as me, a disdainful person."

Wu Qiong's face was pale.

Jiang Lan, who had been watching from the sidelines, suddenly spoke and said softly:

"Remove your mask."

The Dark Guard's body stiffened slightly, refusing to move.

Wang Anfeng and the others didn't know Jiang Lan, but Wu Qiong understood that the girl next to him was delicate and smart, even if it was her father who was the sect master of Yiye Xuan, she was praised as the green lotus in the pond by the famous people of Jiangnan Province, and she was born with a seven-trick exquisite heart, so it was naturally impossible to be untargeted.

At that moment, his expression changed slightly, and he thought of what this dark guard had just said, one sentence was bloody, and then he would be stabbed into the bone, looking at the situation in the rivers and lakes was extremely accurate, and he spoke unceremoniously, with a mocking disdain between the lines.

In Gangnam Province, there are not many people with such temperament and eyesight.

Wu Qiong's eyes widened, and a ridiculous thought rose in his heart.

Isn't it......

Xiahou Xuan?!

How bold was that man? Or maybe something else?!

The old scholar's heart raced, and anger immediately rose.

Without waiting for this thought to settle, he had already raised his hand suddenly, and grabbed towards the mask of the dark guard, the dark guard seemed to be about to stop, and raised his hand, but one of his arms was captured by Situ Che, and his own martial arts seemed to be only up and down the seventh grade, how could he stop it.

The mask was snapped down directly, and the force was too strong, causing his black hair to scatter a little.

Jiang Lan's heart accelerated for a moment.

But it wasn't the face that I thought I had forgotten, but I never wanted to walk out of my heart, and there wasn't even a trace of resemblance.

The contours of the face are a little resolute, a pair of eyebrows are a little collapsed, and even the eyes are a little sluggish, if it is said that it is a drunkard who is nostalgic for the wine shop, it is appropriate, but it is not like a martial artist who is not humble or arrogant, the secret guard looked at the old scholar next to him, and said lightly:

"The young master said that you are pedantic in reading, and you actually regard me as a young master, which is really dull and unattainable."

Wu Qiong's face turned pale.

"You!"

Jiang Lan was in a trance, and the ripples in the pool of green lotus instantly calmed down, and he laughed slightly self-deprecatingly:

"It's me dreaming that you're him."

was taken off the mask, and the unattractive dark guard said: "A certain has been serving by the young master's side since he was a child, and he has not been away for a day in the past 20 years, and he has learned the young master's two-point speech habit, which is natural, but it is really guilty to let the honorable master admit his mistake." ”

"Die and face it."

After saying that, a dagger slipped out of his hand, and he was about to poke it at the door of his house, and he was ruthless, and the old scholar next to him raised his hand to hold his arm, but his heart was angry with his temperament, and he was shocked that he still had a weapon to hide.

Fu thought that just such a portable secret guard, he had both vision and determination, martial arts were ruthless, and there was no shortage of everything, compared to Ye Xuan, it was much worse, except for Jiang Lan, it was only Ye Zhuhua's junior who could handle it.

He is eighty years old, and he has seen too many ups and downs, so he naturally knows the reason, but he only laughs at himself, and he is a little tired.

Raising his hand and breaking the dagger made of good black iron, the old scholar sighed and said tiredly: "That's it, the fight has disturbed the neighbors, first enter the inn to rest, damage things, and compensate the store according to the price." ”

Situ Che and the others tied up the secret guard, threw him into the room and searched carefully until there was no weapon left on his body, and found several flying knives, three silver needles, a machine crossbow, a soft sword stretched out two feet and seven inches, and two pairs of short knives in the soles.

The dark guard was indifferent, but he taught a few fellow disciples to be shocked and angry in their hearts, if this secret guard hadn't taken out a dagger by himself because Jiang Lan misunderstood, they wouldn't have searched so carefully anyway.

The thought of the possible scene at that time could not help but chill up his spine, but in the sultry weather, he shivered eerily, and then became even more angry, and took him to a corner, and each of them used his fists and kicks to vent the anger in his heart.

Wang Anfeng had something in his heart and wanted to go to Xue Qinshuang, but found that the girl had already gone back to the guest room early today, and hesitated in front of the door for a long time, but still did not knock on the wooden door.

The old Confucian Wu Qiong took Ye Zhuhua into the room, strengthened his spirits, made a pot of tea, poured a cup for the young disciple, blew the hot air, took a sip, and sighed with a self-deprecation:

"When you are old, your spirit is not as good as that of you young people, and you have no external objects, but you can't lift your spirit."

Ye Zhuhua said softly:

"Uncle Shi, what are you talking about?"

Wu Qiong shook his head and said, "Don't mention this, has the shopkeeper ever compensated?" ”

Ye Zhuhua nodded, although this young scholar was only delicate, he had a calm and unbreakable demeanor, as if he could face everything calmly, and said:

"Because I saw the warriors fighting today, I was inevitably scared and frightened, so the disciple rashly made the decision and gave more."

The white-haired Confucian gently chewed the tea leaves in his mouth, nodded and said:

"Since it has caused people to be worried, these compensation should naturally be deserved."

This chewing tea is a habit he developed when he was young, when the family was poor, he was sleepy and drank tea to relieve his lack of refreshment, and finally the tea leaves were tasteless, and he had to put them in his mouth to chew, and when the last trace of bitterness dissipated, he suddenly came back to his senses, with a trace of apology on his face, and called the young disciple to express his words, saying:

"By the way, Zhiyuan, why did you suddenly appear here?"

Ye Zhuhua didn't dare to slack off, got up and saluted with his fists, and said slowly:

"I'm about to let Uncle Shi know."

"Master returned to the mountain from a trip, and climbed the 1,300 steps with a sword, the siege of Yiye Xuan has been lifted, and I urgently sent my disciples here, but there is no need to let Senior Sister Jiang Lan go to Yiye Xuan and send people under the fence."

With a click, the tea cup in the old man's hand fell to the ground.
