Stepping into Baili Villa again, his eyes were full of depression.

In fact, except for the day of the apprenticeship, Baili Villa has been in decline for a full twenty years.

There are only a couple of 100 miles and ten steps and three old servants in the villa.

Baili was not there, which made Yan Ruyu worry.

"No one will accept him as a disciple anymore." Baili Ten Steps sighed.

was rejected by Yan Ruyu, who was ranked fourth in the peerless spectrum, and he had already declared that this young man had poor qualifications and could not be cultivated.

Who would take such a disciple?

"That'...... Where did he go? Yan Ruyu asked very carefully, for fear of hearing some bad news.

"I went with a blacksmith and learned how to forge a sword."

"I'm sorry." Yan Ruyu lowered her head, not knowing what else to say.

"No need, you just told the truth, and you don't owe me anything to the Baili family."

There was no emotion on Baili Shibu's face, and after saying this, he stretched out his hand to close the door - the gate of Baili Villa.

"Wait," Yan Ruyu said hurriedly, "I'm here to apprentice, please teach me swordsmanship...... Or maybe it's a solution! I want to defeat the pylorus! ”

Yan Ruyu's face turned red.

Two days ago, he was still recruiting disciples to collect people, but now he is like a chicken in the water, coming back for help in embarrassment, if it weren't for the support of Wu Cuo's sword in his hand, Yan Ruyu would have fainted.

Saying this, he had used up all his courage.

Baili and ten steps: "The pyloric gate has disappeared." ”

Yan Ruyu said: "Resurgence. ”

Baili Ten Steps' silent eyes seemed to ignite some kind of emotion, "Why do you want to defeat them?" ”

"My friend was taken away by them, and I'm going to save him."

Baili Shibu asked: "I can teach you, but not in vain, what do you pay for tuition?" ”

Yan Ruyu touched the money bag in his clothes, but he didn't take it out, the money bag was so deflated, he had to grit his teeth and say: "Although I don't have money, I have a lot of strength and kung fu, as long as you are willing to teach me, I ......"

"But there happens to be something that can use your strength," Baili Shibu interrupted him, opened a portrait and said: "You go to Hangzhou, find this person, and kill him." ”

The portrait is a young man, very handsome, with a kind of luxury peculiar to a rich boy between his eyebrows.

"Kill him, and you'll teach me?" Yan Ruyu asked.

"Kill him, and I will teach you, and promise that you will defeat the pylorus and rescue your friends."

Yan Ruyu bit her lip and took the portrait, who was on the portrait? Good guy or bad guy? Why did Baili Ten Steps want to kill him? He didn't want to know at all, he just knew that the man was going to die.

Hangzhou, on the shore of the West Lake.

The first grass sprouts in early spring are so tender that wild dogs can't help but pounce on them and roll hard.

Although it is not the fattest time for carp, it has a taste that has survived the bitterness of winter, and for people who really know how to eat delicious, this is a good time to eat West Lake vinegar fish.

Yan Ruyu was not interested.

Moreover, the copper coins in his pocket did not allow him to enjoy it like this.

His money was only enough to stay in the cheapest inn for three days, eat steamed buns for two days, and sadly, today was the third day.

So, tonight he could still sleep under the roof with a hole, but during the day he couldn't eat a bite.

Yan Ruyu didn't want to live in an inn, if the money for staying in the hotel could be saved, it would be enough for him to eat buns for an extra 10 days, but he couldn't just sleep in a leeward alley.

It wasn't too bad to sleep in that kind of place, at least he'd seen beggars sleep there.

But not now, now he is holding Wu Cuo's sword, for fear that when he wakes up, his arms will be empty, and the sword will be gone.

If that happens, he's going to be crazy.

How many days can a person survive without eating? Maybe 3 days, then, he still has 3 days to come up with a way, a way to find the person in the portrait.

Fazi didn't expect it, but he met a girl.

The girls in Jiangnan are always more affectionate, more weak, and of course, more beautiful and beautiful.

When a few shirtless men want to bully a beautiful girl, there will always be an amorous young man who is willing to meddle in things.

Ranking fourth in the Wushuang spectrum was enough to make Yan Ruyu a hundred times better than the average young man, but he knew how embarrassed he was at the moment.

Fighting always consumes physical strength, which will make him unable to survive even 3 days.

However, if he sat idly by, he would be ashamed to talk to Wu Cuo about this matter in the future, and he didn't want to do this.

As soon as the sword came out of the sheath, it picked off the weapons of several big men, and the big men put a few cruel words and ran away.

"Girl, are you alright?"

There is still to be politeness, what if the girl is a layman, and she takes the silver of the white flowers to thank him for saving his life?

That couldn't be better.

Unfortunately, the girl did not take out the money or say anything else, but casually glanced at the sword in his hand and said, "This sword is not yours." ”

Yan Ruyu carefully looked at the girl in front of her. She not only has the beauty of the Jiangnan woman, but also looks heroic, and her eyebrows and eyes are a little similar to Wu Cuo.

"Do you know the owner of this sword?" Yan Ruyu asked.

The girl did not answer him, but said to herself: "Strange, this sword is more important than his life, how can it be easily handed over to others?" ”

"Do you know the owner of this sword?" Yan Ruyu had to ask again.

The girl still didn't answer him, but asked, "Where is Wu wrong?" Why don't you see his people? ”

Yan Ruyu sighed, and had no choice but to follow the girl's words: "Wu Cuo was arrested by the people who passed through the pyloric gate. ”

The girl exclaimed, "Arrested? Since you have his sword in your hand, you must be his friend, why don't you save him? ”

Yan Ruyu said: "I came here to save him." ”

"How are you going to save it?"

Yan Ruyu took out the portrait, handed it to the girl, and said, "If you want to rescue Wu Cuo, you have to kill this person first." ”

The girl glanced at the portrait and sneered, "Are you looking for this person?" ”

"Exactly."

"I can take you to him."

After the girl finished speaking, she turned around and left, and Yan Ruyu strode to follow, without hesitation.

The road was not far, and after turning the corner, the girl entered a restaurant that was not good-looking.

The girl went in, and Yan Ruyu followed in.

The inside of the restaurant is at least 5 times larger than Yan Ruyu thought, the carved fence screen is extremely exquisite, and a pair of ivory chopsticks on the table is enough to cover Yan Ruyu's expenses for a year.

The girl walked up to the second floor, and Yan Ruyu also followed to the second floor.

In the center of the second floor is a stage, and there are eight private rooms around the stage, and no matter which one of them is the main seat, you can see the stage through a small window.

Two of the eight private rooms were seated, and the stage was babbling and singing with great charm.

But since the girl went upstairs, Hua Dan on the stage was immediately silent, saluted the girl and got off the stage, and the people in the two private rooms got up and left, not even daring to look at her.

The girl naturally entered the private room with the best location, and before she sat down, Xiao Er ordered everything, and the rest of the food at the two tables just now was quietly withdrawn, and the aftertaste of the meal was replaced by a wisp of sandalwood.

As soon as she sat down, sixteen delicate side dishes were served.

When the food was served, she didn't eat it, but made a gesture of invitation to Yan Ruyu.

Yan Ruyu swallowed it and didn't even use chopsticks, picked up a plate of dishes and poured it directly into his mouth. The dishes in Jiangnan are exquisite, one bite and one plate, exactly sixteen bites, and the dishes on the table are eaten clean by him.

"Have you eaten enough?" The girl asked.

Yan Ruyu was eating, and the girl only took a sip of tea.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's half full." Yan Ruyu replied.

"You've seen the man in the portrait, how are you going to kill him?" The girl asked again.

"See? Who? Shop for the second? Singing? Or those two tables of diners? ”

The girl laughed and said, "Who do you think they look like?" ”

"I don't think they resemble you."

The girl was stunned and said, "How do you know it's me?" ”

"I don't know." Yan Ruyu shrugged, "But now I know that the portrait is not only a woman, but also Wu Cuo." ”

"Not only do I know Wu Cuo, but also his sister, are you still planning to kill me?"

Yan Ruyu shook his head and said: "No, no, I only heard that Wu Cuo has an elder brother, who is the head of the Wu family in Jiangnan, known as the eldest son of Wu, but I have never heard that he has a sister." ”

"If now, he really wants to call me sister, and when I pretend to be a man to run the Wu family's business, I will naturally be the eldest son of Wu, and of course he will call me brother."

Yan Ruyu was dumbfounded, he never thought that the eldest brother whom Wu Cuo respected and admired every time he mentioned it turned out to be a woman.

He finally understood why Wu Cuo had told him, "Maybe you will like my eldest brother very much, I think you two are very ...... Match. ”

"Since you are Wu wrong...... Big brother, of course I can't kill you. Saying this, Yan Ruyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he almost killed a good person without asking.

"Count you sensible," Grand Duke Wu rewarded Yan Ruyu with a roll of his eyes, "Let me ask you, did you let you kill me in a hundred miles and ten steps?" ”

Yan Ruyu didn't dare to underestimate a woman anymore, the woman in front of him was smarter than any man he had ever seen.

He had no choice but to answer honestly: "Not only do you want me to kill you, but you also want me to bring your head back, only in this way can I teach me a way, so that I can defeat Tongpylori like he did back then." ”

"He does have this ability, but he is too good at what he does." Grand Duke Wu was confident and chuckled: "Now that I know my brother's whereabouts, I naturally want to think of ways to save him, so I don't have to worry about it." ”

"You? How to save? ”

"Although I don't know martial arts, I have a friend who understands martial arts, and this friend will definitely be willing to help."

"But the person we have to deal with is the third ranked Xiong Wuye on the Wushuang spectrum."

Yan Ruyu didn't deliberately pour cold water on Grand Master Wu, he just didn't want to waste time by doing useless work.

"Oh? Who is more powerful than this Fifth Master Xiong and Zhou Cheng? Grand Master Wu asked.

Yan Ruyu's heartbeat was about to explode, Zhou Cheng was not only handsome and chivalrous, but also ranked second on the peerless spectrum.

Ranking second means that only one person can beat him in a head-to-head match, and this person will never be the third ranked Xiong Wuye.

"Is this friend Zhou Cheng?" Yan Ruyu's eyes lit up with hope, but he still couldn't believe it.

"In the past, Zhou Cheng passed by Hangzhou, and he was shy in his pocket, I invited him to live in Wu Cheng for three months, and he had good wine every day, and he sent hundreds of gold before leaving, and he personally promised that if he became famous in the future, Wu Mansion was in trouble with him Zhou Cheng was in trouble, and Wu Cheng had a grudge with him."

If Zhou Cheng helped, would Wu Cuo be able to be saved?

When the eldest prince of Wu said that he would contact Zhou Cheng and let Yan Ruyu stay in Wu for a few days, although Yan Ruyu was apprehensive, he still agreed.

But he couldn't wait for Zhou Cheng.

waited for the news of Zhou Cheng's death the next day.

A man who calls himself Han Zhige challenges Zhou Cheng.

There are always people in the rivers and lakes who dream of becoming famous in a fight, and it is a good choice to challenge the masters on the unparalleled spectrum. The vast majority of them died of pride and conceit, but there were also a few dreams that came true.

Undoubtedly, Han Zhige's luck was good.

According to the description of those who had the privilege of watching the battle, Han Zhige was a short man in his forties, wearing an overly long Taoist robe, and his appearance was not good.

Zhou Cheng and Han Zhige fought 426 moves, and the moves were full of dangers, and the wind wall rolled up by the internal force covered the sky and the sun, flying sand and stones.

Zhou Cheng always had the upper hand, and the nine-section whip dance was impenetrable, and the other party was tired of parrying and had no power to fight back.

Before the four hundred and twenty-five moves, Zhou Cheng had three chances to kill Han Zhige, but the second-ranked master on the Wushuang spectrum naturally had more requirements than the nameless junior, he not only wanted to win, but also to win beautifully, without leaving a little criticism.

What kind of iron bull catches tail, harrier flutters cicada, and praying mantis chatters, unless his life is in danger, he will never use such a move.

In the four hundred and twenty-fifth move, Zhou Cheng finally found an opportunity, he was very satisfied with his patience, and even began to think about where he would go to find a woman to relax.

Women can always help him get rid of the fatigue after the battle, of course, women can also bring another kind of fatigue, and he can't tell which kind of fatigue is more comfortable.

The jade dragon is out of the water!

The nine-section whip in his hand was indeed like a dragon out of the water, breaking through the wind wall formed by the internal force, and heading straight for Han Zhige's front door, and the people watching the battle vaguely heard a dragon groan.

The speed of this attack was extremely fast, and one of the spectators accidentally blinked his eyes, regretting that he couldn't eat or sleep for three whole months.

No one expected that such a quick whip would be taken by Han Zhige.

Han Zhige didn't have a weapon, his hand was his weapon.

His left hand was gloved, and it was this left hand that caught the nine-section whip.

Zhou Cheng's reaction was also quite fast, he retracted his momentum, and stepped back with his feet little by little, wanting to take advantage of the situation to pull back the nine-section whip.

I don't know that the opponent's right hand fired three hidden weapons in a row.

The timing of the concealer is extremely accurate, just at the moment when Zhou Cheng's body is in the air, and the angle is also extremely tricky, if you dodge those two, you will be poked in the thigh by this one, and if you dodge these two, you will be pierced by that one.

In desperation, Zhou Cheng still decided to keep his face.

At the same time as he landed, his thigh hurt, Zhou Cheng was annoyed and angry, and he wanted to fight back with a whip, but there was a stumble under his feet, and it turned out that the hidden weapon happened to be pierced on the rabbit's den.

Zhou Cheng was shocked, his heart was not good, and he danced the nine-section whip to force Han Zhige back, and he couldn't care about his image anymore.

The four hundred and twenty-sixth move was probably the worst move Zhou Cheng had ever used, and it was so messy that it couldn't even be called a move.

Where could Han Zhige give him a chance, his gloved left hand had already pinched his neck.

Where is this hand? It was as hard as steel, and as cold as an ice skate on the eaves of the Thirty-Nine Heavens, a hand from hell!

Zhou Cheng's neck was pinched off by that hand, and his tongue stuck out for a long time, neither chic nor romantic.

In the teahouse, the spectators were foaming at the mouth, and he smiled with satisfaction as he looked at the man who was so frightened by his description that he curled his neck and clamped his arms.

Yan Ruyu was so frightened that he lost his temper, he didn't know how he walked back to Baifu.

Wu Cuo had been suffering for ten days, and he should have gone to save him, but at the moment he didn't even have a solution.

White House.

When Yan Ruyu entered the door, the old butler had been waiting at the door for a long time.

"Master Wu asked me to hand over something to you, please come with me."

Yan Ruyu followed the old butler, passing through the courtyard after courtyard, until the last one entered the most secluded and elegant courtyard, which was the residence of the eldest prince of Wu.

The room is very elegant, the whole two walls are bookshelves, which are full of books, there are complete sets of tea sets on the Bogu shelf, there are flower arrangements, and there is a short knife of the town house, and the handle of the knife is very similar to the sword of Wu Cuo.

There is no superfluous decoration of the daughter's house in the house, and it does not look too masculine, it is decent, but like the residence of Mr. Teach.

There was a wooden box on the table in the middle of the room, and the old housekeeper motioned for Yan Ruyu to open it.

The inside of the wooden box is still a wooden box, and the gap between the two wooden boxes is filled with ice, and the weather is getting warmer, and the ice has begun to melt, forming a thin layer of water at the bottom of the box.

Yan Ruyu opened the wooden box inside.

It was a wooden box the size of a human head, and it should fit just enough for a human head.

It does have a human head.

The head of the eldest prince of Wu!

Her expression was serene, she didn't look painful when she died, and there was even a smile on her lips.

She must have also heard the news of Zhou Cheng's death, and knew that there was only one way to save Wu Cuo, so she decided to exchange her life for her brother's life and die with dignity.

Yan Ruyu's hand holding the wooden box was trembling, and the wooden box seemed to weigh a thousand catties, making him unable to bear it and knelt down.

In the past, he always felt that dead people were dirty and disgusting, but now a dead man's head was in his hands, but he felt that it was the most holy thing in the world, and even a glance at it was a defilement of her.

Yan Ruyu's heart was empty, his whole body was soaked in cold sweat, he hadn't saved Wu Cuo, but he had already killed Wu Dagongzi, he felt that he was the most damned person.

"This head was lent to you by the eldest prince of Wu, waiting for you to rescue the second son, I hope you will send the head back, let us bury it well, and thank you for the three hundred people in the white mansion."

After saying this, the housekeeper walked out alone, and said before closing the door: "Master Wu has explained, and the one-horned Cangyue in the stable will also be lent to you." ”
