Chapter Seventy-Five, Dark Alley

"In the end, Li Linfu and I reached an agreement. I persuaded them to leave this gang and let the government take care of the other. Regarding the brutality of the two corpses, the government promised to give a good explanation and solution. ”

"And when I did it all with extreme guilt. Because of the pressure of the two evil sects, the government finally disappointed everyone. Do you know what the solution they gave after finally discussing with the two evil sects was?—— continuing to connive at the murder of ironclad gangsters and others was just to set a limit for them. And all sorts of high-sounding excuses have long been thought of to justify their slaughter. ”

"Soon, our gang fell, and the other one couldn't withstand the soft grinding and hard bubbles of the government, and was recruited one after another. However, we can no longer oppose the dealings between the imperial court and the evil sect, and even all information about the gang has been blocked from being talked about in front of the public. Do you know that Iron Xingdong still takes a dozen lives every month to study his corpse puppet secret method? The Western Regions are still like this to this day. ”

"I left the Western Regions after that incident. I have lived in seclusion, and I have also fallen into self-abandonment, shuttling between the Red Mansions, and borrowing wine to kill my sorrows every day. Five years have passed since then. There are even rumors on the rivers and lakes that Qin is blind and Qin Daxia is dead. ”

"I cut off all contact with my brothers and friends. In those years, I often had nightmares about the big battle that night. Just like the real thing, I saw the officers and soldiers charging into battle, and I saw the flesh and blood in my eyes. Maybe this is not the knot that an iron-boned man should have, but there is no way, my heart is always full of guilt. Yes, I was young at the time. ”

"Later. Zheng Yanei's father, Zheng Xuanyilang, found out about me. At that time, some of Li Linfu's henchmen in the DPRK and China also knew that I had sunk at that time. But my reputation has always been good. They may pity me, or they may have taken a fancy to my reputation as a hero, or they may have plans for me. invited me to live in Chang'an, and let me get acquainted with many high-ranking officials. However, I don't want to get too close to them, and I choose to live in the ghost alley. My neighbors all know about my reputation and my past deeds. At first they gave me money, and after two years, I went to Jade Zhai. ”

“......”

"The other day I was in a hurry, and I know that you are still interested in the people I worshipped on the altar that day. It was related to the Winter Solstice Martial Arts, and it was a long story, and Zheng Yanei didn't have time to write it. When the two of us have a firm foothold, we will write a letter to King Rong's mansion to say that this matter ......"

Xia Fanxing let out a long sigh and put a few pages of letter back into the envelope. After more than a day's journey, it was already late at night, and he and Ji Yanliu had just come to Liyang with the prince Li Wan, and they were in a hurry, and they casually found a hotel by the river to rest.

Originally, he planned to have a good time with Ji Yanliu, but he took off his robe and only had one underwear left. Unexpectedly, she blushed and said no. The reason is that in the Yin and Yang secret method she cultivates, there will be one day every twenty days when she can't practice the secret method, and she must go to bed before the hour at night, and she can't have sexual intercourse. She said that this was to consolidate the cultivation results of a cycle.

Xia Fanxing was helpless, she really hadn't noticed that she had this habit before. After watching Ji Yanliu gradually fall asleep in bed, he was completely sleepy. When he first arrived here, he felt full of pressure and had no intention of cultivating, thinking of the letter written by the blind man Qin to Zheng Yanei, after reading it, he sighed.

Unexpectedly, the first half of Qin Daxia's life was so bumpy and rugged.

"Alas..."Xia Fanxing felt empty in his heart. The guilt for the five hundred elites and the Tang Dynasty was the reason why he insisted on going to Fanyang to take refuge in the cottage. Although it is by no means a wise move to do so, it is just like what Qin Blind said, don't ask whether it's right or wrong, but ask for peace of mind.

Footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door, and Xia Fanxing suddenly became alert. Listen carefully, the footsteps are going to the door of His Royal Highness Li Wan's room. Then there was a slight reprimand outside the door, and it was the only guard the prince had brought to guard the door for him.

But after a while of conversation, the sound of the door opening came out, and it seemed that the guard had let someone in.

Xia Fanxing stood up. Since he had been sitting all the time, his back hurt as soon as he stood up, causing him to gasp. Xia Fanxing slowly walked to the door, trying to hear what Li Wan was saying inside the door.

However, even though his physical body had been tempered as a cultivator and his hearing was far stronger than that of mortals, he could not hear any sounds outside at all. It's like... Someone used a spell to block out the sound like.

Soon, there was a knock on the door. Xia Fanxing gently opened a crack in the door and saw Li Wan standing outside with an innkeeper. Li Wan waved his hand at him, and Xia Fanxing walked out lightly.

Li Wan cleared his throat, pointed to the guy beside him, and said softly, "There is a famous Taoist temple in Liyang, and the master of the temple is a personal disciple of Sima Chengzhen's predecessor, and the Taoist name is the sea, and he is also in charge of the affairs of a great avenue in Liyang. He heard that the king had come to Liyang, and specially held a banquet for the king in the Taoist temple. But it is a pity that the messenger was drunk and delayed the banquet. Now I specially invite us to go to the Taoist temple for a while. ”

Li Wan added, "The cultivation of the cultivators of the Sea Dao is of a very high level in the ordinary Taoist temple, and they are the monks of the Star Sea in the middle stage of the Jiedan. The reputation of the rivers and lakes is also quite high, and its people are very high-spirited, and the king is very willing to meet with it. ”

Xia Fanxing had actually been interested for a long time, and nodded his head again and again.

Li Wan seemed to wait for a while, seeing that Xia Fanxing didn't react, and asked with some confusion, "What about the Yanliu girl?"

"Oh, she's a little tired and won't go with me. ”。 Li Wan looked a little disappointed, and finally nodded and said, "Then let's go together." I don't have any more people. ”

Xia Fanxing was a little worried when he heard this, and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, I still have an injury on my back now, if I encounter danger, I'm afraid..."

Li Wan waved his hand and said, "Under the whole world, it is not the king's land." Liyang is the land of my Tang Dynasty, and it is unwarranted danger. As the prince, this king has been ordered to come to Liyang to supervise the political situation, who would dare to harm me? Not to mention that with him leading the way, there will be no trouble. ”

The guy next to him nodded again and again, Xia Fanxing put on a guard costume that Li Wan gave him, and walked out of the hotel with Li Wan.

The alleys by the river are particularly dark, and the wind is still a little cool in the middle of the night. The guy took Li Wan and Xia Fanxing and walked in the other direction where they came. The dark alley twisted and turned, and the low houses around it were silent, and everyone seemed to be sleeping. After walking for a while, I haven't gotten around to the main road.

The fellow looked around in confusion, as if he had misremembered the way. Xia Fanxing felt a little strange, glanced at him, and found that this guy looked very distinctive-there was a large square black mole on his neck, one eye was big and the other was small, and the funniest thing was that both eyebrows were only half-marked. And Li Wan didn't have any doubts in his mind, just waiting for him to lead the way.

And the guy who led the way looked around, but turned his head to Li Wan and said, "Your Highness, that, the villain is a little anxious, he hasn't gone to the toilet all night, what..."

Li Wan waved his hand a little unhappily, "You find a place by yourself, hurry back and lead the way!"

"Yes, yes. It's full of housing all around here, and it can't just be a place, ha......."

Xia Fanxing watched him go around the corner in front of him, and soon, he couldn't even hear the sound of footsteps.

He jerked his head up and realized that they might have been tricked by this guy. After waiting for a while, Li Wan finally raised his head with some confusion and glanced at the dimly lit dark alley ahead. Xia Fanxing held back the fire in his belly, and finally coughed lightly, and said to Li Wan, who was puzzled, "Your Highness, forgive me for being blunt, I'm afraid this person won't come back." ”

Li Wan is also a little angry, where is this guy going to pee? He could only say, "Wait a little longer, if it doesn't work, let's go to the street or in the yamen and ask the people of the sea to go to the Taoist temple." What's the matter with this man......"

Xia Fanxing sighed, thinking to himself why Li Wan didn't understand that when he first arrived in Liyang, Li Wan's identity was so respected. If this guy does this, they will probably be targeted, and even in danger.

After waiting for a while, there was still no sound from the dark alley. Li Wan slapped his thigh indignantly and said, "Dog minion! I'm really impatient to live! Let's find our way by ourselves, if that guy dares to go back to the Taoist temple..."

Before Li Wan finished speaking, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps.

Li Wan and Xia Fanxing both angrily skimmed their heads around the corner, but they didn't see the guy before. Running this way was a panicked-looking child.

When the child saw them, his expression became even more panicked. But immediately came back to his senses. Running in front of them, he was startled by Xia Fanxing, who was immediately blocking in front of Li Wan.

Immediately, the child immediately took Xia Fanxing's hand and shouted with a crying voice.
