Since the assassination by the lake, Xu Sicong and Sui Yuexuan have been living in seclusion. After all, the marriage date of the two is approaching, and if there is any mistake at this time, he will regret it for the rest of his life.

And what puzzled the two was who would have such a deep hatred with them that they would act recklessly regardless of the consequences?

After thinking about it, Xu Sicong seems to have thought of a more reasonable candidate, that is, Xu Yuexiao.

The reason why Xu Sicong thought of Xu Yuexiao was not only because there was an inexplicable emotional entanglement between the two, but more importantly, not long before this incident, Xu Yuexiao had personally come to Xu Sicong, but Sui Yuexuan had never known about it.

It turned out that just a few months ago, Xu Yuexiao had secretly come here alone to meet Xu Sicong. And Xu Yuexiao's only purpose here is to elope with Xu Sicong.

In her opinion, if Xu Sicong can change her mind, she can abandon everything and be with Xu Sicong desperately.

But what Xu Yuexiao never expected was that Xu Sicong decisively rejected her request, and also told her that he was about to marry Sui Yuexuan, hoping that Xu Yuexiao would not waste his youth for this.

When Xu Yuexiao heard this, she was furious. I thought, "For your sake, I am willing to give you everything I have without reservation, and you have no appreciation!" In that case, don't blame me for being ruthless and unjust! ”

Although Xu Yuexiao's heart was tormented and sad, she did not show these pains in front of Xu Sicong, but chose to force a smile and verbally sent seemingly sincere blessings to the two.

Seeing this, Xu Sicong thought that Xu Yuexiao had let go of this undeserved feeling, but she didn't know that she had already made up her mind to take revenge on the two at that time.

When the two parted that day, Xu Yuexiao's face always maintained that indescribable bitter smile.

And while Xu Yuexiao maintained this special smile, she also silently clenched her fists.

The force was strong enough for those standing next to her to hear the sound of the joints in her hands squeezing against each other.

But Xu Sicong didn't realize this at that time, and now he is really a little scared in retrospect.

Just as Xu Sicong realized the seriousness of the problem and informed Sui Yuexuan of the ins and outs of the whole matter, there was also good news from the government office, saying that Yue Jichao's residence had been found.

It's just that the place where Yue Jichao is located is a little special, and everyone knows that Yue Jichao is extremely mysterious and unpredictable, so they don't dare to act rashly.

After thinking about it, the county magistrate decided to let Xu Sicong and several disguised officials go to explore the truth first, and then make a decision. After Xu Sicong heard about this, he agreed.

Speaking of this Yue Jichao's residence, it is quite secret. If it weren't for Yue Jichao's frequent activities in the past few days, it would have been really difficult for ordinary people to discover this secret place, and his residence was hidden in a hill in the east of Luoyang City.

The area of this mountain is relatively small, with a radius of only about ten miles. Although it is a small place, the environment is quite beautiful, and it is especially suitable for seclusion.

The mountains are covered with clouds and mist, the trees are tall and dense, and the chirping of various birds can often be heard in the forests. This situation and this scene echo and contrast with the verdant mountains and forests.

What's even more rare is that there are still large bamboo forests growing in the depths of this dense forest. And Yue Jichao is precisely because of his love for bamboo, and then he took a fancy to the quiet and comfortable living environment here, so he took the initiative to secretly build a bamboo house here and lived here.

One morning, Xu Sicong and the officials came to this bamboo house in the deep mountains and dense forests.

In order to be on the safe side, everyone planned that only Xu Sicong would go to check the situation, and the others would hide around the bamboo house and improvise.

When Xu Sicong was about to walk to the front of the bamboo house, a melodious sound of flute came out of the courtyard.

The sound of this flute is rich and powerful, fresh and elegant, which makes people have a wonderful feeling of fluttering after hearing it.

I saw that Yue Jichao was standing in the courtyard at this time, holding a jade flute in his hand, and he was playing a beautiful and intoxicating music there.

The wonderful sounds that come out of the jade flute are unpredictable and varied, which makes people extremely fascinating.

Its sound is sometimes like a gurgling spring to nourish the body and mind, sometimes like a hundred flowers blooming with a compelling fragrance, sometimes like the vastness of the vast ocean, sometimes like a brilliant starry sky with starlight. I can't help but linger, indulge in it, and find it difficult to extricate myself.

Just when Xu Sicong outside the hospital was fascinated by it, the sound of the flute stopped abruptly.

Seeing this, Xu Sicong wanted to turn around and leave even though he realized that things were not good, but Yue Jichao suddenly appeared in front of him.

Xu Sicong wanted to talk to him for a few words to enhance mutual understanding so that he could act in the future, but Yue Jichao didn't pay much attention to him at all. And Yue Jichao had already discovered that someone was spying on him secretly, but he hadn't said it yet.

"Engong, what are you ......" Before Xu Sicong could finish speaking, Yue Jichao picked up a few stones from the ground and held them in his hands.

Just when Xu Sicong was very surprised by this, he saw Yue Jichao swishing a few times and accurately and quickly ejecting the stones in his hand to several places around him, and then knocked out all the officials hiding in the shadows. The officials were knocked to the ground by the stones sent by Yue Jichao, and they couldn't get up for a long time.

Then Yue Jichao warned: "Your hiding technique is too unsophisticated, don't do such meaningless things from now on." If it had been a normal time, a few of you would have died eight hundred times by now! Don't leave yet, but when! ”

Seeing this, the officials thought to themselves, this free ghost really deserves its reputation, and it really shouldn't take this drudgery, and it almost died in death.

Seeing that the situation was not right, everyone left in disgrace, and the operation was declared a failure, and they returned in vain.

In other words, what kind of person is Yue Jichao, who even dares to ignore the people in the court, so that he is so arrogant?

Yue Jichao, his background is unknown, and the specific information that outsiders can know about him is currently limited to the person's name and age.

At the age of 28, he has been on the rivers and lakes for many years, and he is famous. Those who knew him treated him with great respect, and those who did not know him were terrified of him.

The reason why Yue Jichao has such great achievements is largely due to his unique advantages and extremely superb martial arts.

When the young Yue Jichao was young, he didn't know which master in the world was guiding him, but he learned a skill from a master with his intelligence and superhuman comprehension.

Since then, it has been out of control, after several years of hard work, today's Yue Jichao has become one of the top masters in today's martial arts, so that many martial arts seniors have to look at it.

Among these exquisite martial arts that Yue Jichao learned, he is especially good at light skills. Among all the martial arts heroes in the world today, there are only a handful of people whose light skills can reach this level.

Yue Jichao is not only extremely high in martial arts, but also an extremely elegant and well-educated person, especially fond of poetry and the performance of various musical instruments.

In life, Yue Jichao is almost isolated from the world and never takes the initiative to interact with people. All day long, he has no joy, few words, and domineering, and often writes poems by playing plucked instruments at home alone.

It is said that such civil and military talents should become the object of great love and admiration of everyone, how can people be so frightened that they have the name of "free ghost"?

It turned out that Yue Jichao, who had learned a lot, did not use this superb martial arts to the place where it should be used, but chose to be maverick. Ever since he had this skill, he has become competitive and arrogant.

But if the above two reasons alone are not enough to describe the horror of this man, the reason why people are so jealous of him is largely because he is sometimes a little indiscriminate and always insists on doing his own thing. And the most frightening thing is that he never needs a reason to kill.

In Yue Jichao's eyes, there are only two kinds of people in this world, those who should be killed and those who should not be killed.

As long as he thinks that he should not be killed, even if he is full of evil, he may not die, on the contrary, even if he is good, he may not escape the doom, everything depends on the situation.

It is worth mentioning that Yue Jichao likes to wander alone in white clothes at night. Because of the extremely high attainment of ultra-light skills, he can often appear quietly in front of others. And because he likes to write poetry, he often recites a few lines of his own poems when he appears in front of others.

Those who are familiar with him, as long as they hear the sound of poetry in the night sky, they know that nine times out of ten, Yue Jichao is coming.

Over time, people's understanding of Yue Jichao has become more and more biased, and it has gradually spread its skills.

In their opinion, Yue Jichao is a very mysterious outsider master, with extremely high martial arts skills, and seems to be omnipotent.

After a long time, the appearance of a cold-blooded chivalrous man who likes to haunt at night, often wears white, is moody, prefers to chant poetry, and has a strange temperament quickly spread in the streets and alleys.

Because people who are not familiar with him have no way of knowing his real name, some people in the rivers and lakes gradually gave Yue Jichao the title of "free ghost" according to the rumors in the rivers and lakes.

Since then, all those in the rivers and lakes who know Yue Jichao's prestige, especially those who are full of evil and evil, as soon as they hear that it is a free ghost coming, they will immediately be frightened.

Because these people know very well in their hearts that the ghost of the free never needs any reason to kill. Good people can die, let alone them.

Therefore, no matter who he is, he is not willing to provoke him easily, otherwise he may not even know how he died.
