After the applause sounded, Pei Huai walked slowly towards her with a field of blood.

"What's your name?" He asked.

Xu Xi raised his eyebrows, "Shouldn't you report your own name before asking someone else's name?" ”

Pei Huai raised his head slightly, and his eyes seemed to be darker when he looked at her.

"Do you want this person?" She pointed at Wei Qiuqi, who was trembling on the side, with the tip of her knife.

"If the girl wants to take his life, then take it." Pei Huai said casually.

Xu Xi glanced at the corpses around him, and his heart became more and more irritable. In the past, as the leader of the task, she didn't take it easily, but now it's good, she killed a bunch of people, injured a bunch of people, and got no reward, does it make sense?

She simply dragged a chair and sat in a pool of blood, regretting why she hadn't left sooner. said that she would wash her hands in a golden basin, and now God has given her a chance to do it again, she is good, not only to return to her old business, but also to work voluntarily!

Thinking of this, she was in a very bad mood, and her face became even more stinky.

"If you like this person, take it, I'm too lazy to kill, and I was thrown in inexplicably, and I haven't even figured out who Pei Huai is...... No, I figured out that it worked! ”

Pei Huai raised his eyebrows slightly at her wording, "Are you looking for me?" ”

"Are you Pei Huai?" Xu Xi asked rhetorically.

Pei Huai said with a smile, "Except for this seat, there is no one named Pei Huai in the whole world." ”

"That's good," Xu Xi habitually cocked his legs, "I ask you, do you know a young man in white, probably about the same height as you, with a silver sword in his hand...... Oh yes, you're his master, right? ”

Pei Huai frowned, "You mean Chenghui?" ”

"I don't care what his name is," Xu Xi waved his hand, "he said he was going to the City God Temple tonight, and said he would go to see you in a few days." ”

Pei Huai was still thinking about her words, but Xu Xi got up directly and walked straight to the door, "Okay, the words have been brought, the people have helped, and you were thrown in by your baby apprentice, I'll leave now, it's not too much." As he spoke, he pushed the door open.

"Wait!"

It was not Pei Huai who spoke, but it was someone outside the door. The man in white just now slowly pushed open the door, and his face was smiling again.

"The girl has good qualifications, instead of wandering in the world, why don't you enter our Jinghu Palace, what do you think?"

Before Pei Huai agreed, Xu Xi sneered and scolded, "Get out."

Nie Chenghui was stunned for a moment, and the smile on his face gradually covered with a layer of darkness.

Pei Huai laughed suddenly, the dark color of the Taoist robe was lightly tucked, and the handsome and arrogant color was overflowing.

"Chenghui, you fell this girl down?" He asked.

Nie Chenghui hurriedly lowered his hand and said respectfully: "If you return to the master, the disciple saw that this woman was pretending to be a member of my Jinghu Palace, and I saw through it, and I didn't know the prestige of the master, so I ......."

Xu Xi suddenly stopped being annoyed, but his expression was still stinky, "I never said that it was from your palace, don't rely on me if you will be wrong, as for your master's prestige, ......"

She spread her hands, looking quite helpless, "Forgive me for being lonely and unheard, I really haven't heard of it." ”

Pei Huai's expression was frozen, Xu Xi thought that this person was about to have a seizure, and suddenly there were a few loud noises, and the whole house trembled, and in an instant, the beams and trees were broken, the dust and bricks kept falling, and a whole roof almost collapsed.

She was stunned, Pei Huai had already carried her a few feet away, and when the three of them landed firmly on the ground, the room turned into a ruin in a moment.

"Many... Thank you......" Xu Xi was shocked and apologized softly to the master and apprentice, "I didn't speak very well just now, don't take it to heart." ”

Pei Huai was noncommittal, but Nie Chenghui suddenly smiled and said, "Since you have the heart to repay your kindness, it is better to enter our door." ”

Xu Xi was speechless, "What's the benefit of me entering your door?" ”

"The good thing is that in the future, whether it is in the rivers and lakes or in the court, report the name of our Jinghu Palace to ensure that you can ...... horizontally" The last words were swallowed back in the gaze of his master.

In the midst of the flames, a gorgeous figure rushed into the ruins desperately, and it was useless to persuade others. Finally, the figure fell to the ground, two lines of tears running across her gorgeous face, grief-stricken.

It's Mrs. Tian.

Xu Xi was about to go over, but Nie Chenghui suddenly stopped her, "What did you do in the past?" Could it be that you still want to comfort her? ”

"Mrs. Tian and I have had a relationship, and her husband's death has something to do with me." She said lightly.

Pei Huai laughed and walked away. Nie Chenghui directly mocked, "You are kind." ”

"I'm not kind, I'm just a little unbearable," she said, looking at the gorgeous figure in the firelight, her voice gradually lowering, "after all, she's a poor person, too." ”

Nie Chenghui propped his chin, but said with a smile when he heard the words, "Now that Wei Qiuqi is dead, you feel sorry for her wife because of his death, have you ever thought that he was going to kill my master, if my master is harmed by him, I'm afraid you may not have much mercy." ”

Xu Xi was stunned and didn't know how to answer, but Nie Chenghui laughed and left with Pei Huai. The soldiers and horses of the Jianyuan City Patrol Battalion who rushed to hear the news had already surrounded the Wei Mansion, and the captain of the Soldiers and Horses Division led by him saw Pei Huai and immediately led the soldiers to roll the saddle and dismount, calling him "National Teacher Gui'an"

It turns out that he is the national teacher.

The firelight illuminated almost half of the night sky, and Xu Xi stood silently here, all the people around her passed by her, and everyone had nothing to do with her.

She was suddenly a little depressed.

Before leaving, Nie Chenghui suddenly rode over and respectfully handed her a wooden box, Xu Xi opened it and saw that it was a simple black iron scabbard.

Xu Xi was slightly stunned, and took out the thin knife that was caught in the air from his sleeve, and when the two were combined, it was a complete pair of knives.

"The master said, a good knife must be worthy of the master, and this knife will be yours in the future." Nie Chenghui was dressed in white, and he rarely smiled kindly, "By the way, is it convenient for the girl to reveal her name?" ”

Xu Xi glanced at the back of the Xuan-colored Dao robe in the distance, and nodded slightly, "Xu Xi." ”

"Which West?"

"It's just... Well... Bustling bustle. ”

Nie Chenghui laughed when he heard it, "Your explanation is not good, it is a good word for brightness, harmony, and auspiciousness." After speaking, he arched his hand, "I'm going to report to Shizun, Miss Xu Xi, there will be a period later." ”

"There will be a date later." She touched the knife case, turned and plunged headlong into the darkness.

Naturally, I didn't see it, and there was an unpredictable smile on the face of the man in the dark robe.

Seeing Xu Xi's figure gradually disappear into the darkness, Pei Huai smiled.

"What's wrong with Master?" Nie Chenghui saw that his expression was wrong, and hurriedly asked.

"How did you meet this man?"

Nie Chenghui truthfully explained to Pei Huai all the way, "What did Shizun find?" He asked.

"Strange?" Pei Huai snorted slightly, "Isn't the existence of this woman the biggest anomaly?" Every time the knife goes down, the knife sees the blood and seals the throat, and such a neat and dexterous kung fu is rare in this world. ”

Nie Chenghui hurriedly bowed his hand, "The disciple is confused, and I will send someone to check it later." ”

"By the way, Master," as he was about to ride his horse away, he suddenly remembered the secret letter he had taken from the jackdaw, "This is a letter from Senior Brother Qianling, and I would like to ask Master to take a look." ”

Pei Huai took it, and couldn't help frowning after seeing the crooked words on it, but after reading the content, the handwriting became an inconsequential trivial matter.

"Turks?"

"It's just that I heard about it, so don't worry about it."

Pei Huai was silent, the Western Yue Turks have always been the great enemies of Northern Yan. When the first emperor died in the return of the class master, he was nearby, if it wasn't for the proper planning of the Jinghu Palace in advance, the current highness would not be able to ascend to the throne. It's only been a few years since they've settled down, and the barbarians from the west are starting to move again.

He put the letter in his sleeve, "How is Sikong Yi over there?" ”

"He," Nie Chenghui's face was disdainful, "he's just a coward, he doesn't even have the courage to fight his master head-on, he only dares to instruct Wei Qiuqi to come over and do such a shameful thing." ”

"Today's events are not necessarily at his command."

Nie Chenghui was taken aback, "How can the master see it?" ”

Pei Huai snorted slightly, if the little disciple Tang Qianling asked this, it would be fine, Nie Chenghui followed him into the Jianhu Palace to practice at the age of seven, and now he has been asking such questions for more than ten years.

This laughter made Nie Chenghui suddenly realize, "Although Sikong Yi is at odds with his master, he will not cut off the country's wings, if it gives outsiders an opportunity...... I see! "Thinking of the assassination of the master today, everything is logical," those Turks knew that the master would be assassinated today, so they made some moves on the official road near Dingjiang, and it seems that there are internal ghosts in the court. ”

After all, he wasn't too stupid, Pei Huai glanced at him, "Do you know what to do with the rest?" ”

"Please rest assured, the disciple has his own measure."

Seeing Shizun's convoy drifting away, Nie Chenghui was about to leave, only to see Pei Huai slowly beckoning on the car, and he rushed over without stopping.

"Does the master still have orders?" He said respectfully.

"If you have free time, remember to teach Qianling to write."

Nie Chenghui: "......"

After that night, Xu Xi took advantage of the chaos to get out of Jianyuan City, walked all the way north, drank water when he was thirsty, ate some wild fruits when he was hungry, and occasionally caught some birds with good luck, which was also a game meal.

She blended in so well with the life around her that she would have almost forgotten that she had lived like that if it weren't for the occasional midnight dream flashing back to her old scene. Of course, she almost forgot to clean up the night in Jianyuan Mansion.

Weishui lives in the north, but its surrounding scenery is not inferior to the best in the south. When Xu Xi stepped into this land for the first time, it happened to be raining in autumn, and there was still a slight coolness in the air, which was really comfortable.

It didn't take long for her to find a way to earn a living in a nearby shop and work as a bookkeeper for a pawnshop.

In the past, when she took on tasks, she did a lot of accounting, and for this reason, she also taught herself some statistical things. Now to let her make these things is a killer with a knife, originally the pawnshop owner because she is a woman still has a lot of complaints, it didn't take long to be impressed in front of her perfect technology, and gave her a bear child to take, the name of the account help.

It is another clear day, the autumn sun has long lost its previous eagerness, but the light on people has a different warmth. Zhao Yan'er looked at the weather outside the window and yawned the boss on the counter.

"You didn't sleep well yesterday?"

Xu Xi said, but her eyes kept staring at the account book, it took her a few days to finally learn calligraphy with a brush, and now she is more and more comfortable with making accounts.
