After returning to Jingshi, Jian Huaizhen and Tang Jingran discussed secretly for a while, feeling that the clues of this matter had been completely broken, and they still needed to think about it in the long run.

After Jian Huaizhen followed Shi Heng for two days, he found that Shi Heng was nothing different, seeing that the deadline given by the emperor was getting shorter and shorter, Jian Huaizhen was quite at a loss.

Tang was shocked to make a little eyebrows, and when he came back, he verbally proposed to Jian Huaizhen that Lu Manxue's whereabouts had been erratic in the past few days, and it seemed that he was planning something.

Hearing Tang's shocked words, Jian Huaizhen cheered up and asked Lu Manxue, "What's suspicious about Lu Manxue?" ”

Tang was shocked and lowered his head and said: "In the past two days, I have followed the orders of the eldest princess and tracked down Lu Manxue, and found that she often haunts restaurants and tea shops, and her whereabouts are secret. ”

Hearing Tang Xian's words, Jian Huaizhen also frowned slightly, she knew in her heart that Lu Manxue's behavior was very likely to cover up other things and did it intentionally.

Jian Huaizhen nodded and said, "What Miss Tang said is that Lu Manxue made this move, obviously wanting to cover up some things, but I don't know if I have traced the root cause." ”

Tang Jingran heard Jian Huaizhen's words, and said with a red face: "The eldest princess, Tang Jingran is not good at learning, and his martial arts are not as deep as his senior sister Lu Manxue, and Lu Manxue is cunning by nature, so he has been lost repeatedly. ”

Jian Huaizhen heard Tang shocked to say this: "Then he nodded and said, this matter is okay, although Lu Manxue's martial arts are superior to you, but we are not without advanced martial arts manpower here, tomorrow I will invite Fang Xiao and Jiang Shaoheng to come over and talk about it, and then I can ask them to help." ”

Hearing Jian Huaizhen's words, Tang was shocked and said with great joy: "Is it the two heroes who have been famous in recent years and Jiang Shaoheng, who has the highest martial arts in the imperial court?" ”

Jian Huaizhen nodded and said, "It's the two of them, could it be that Miss Tang has heard of the names of these two." ”

Tang was shocked to hear Jian Huaizhen's words, so he said with a smile: "The reputation of the two of them is so great, in addition to the deaf in this world, even the blind have heard of their names. I had heard some martial arts stories from my master before, so that I wouldn't remember it. ”

When Jian Huaizhen heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "In my heart, it could be that Miss Tang has intentions on one of the two of them. ”

Hearing Jian Huaizhen's intentional jokes, Tang Jingran's face was full of redness, and he hurriedly said: "The eldest princess is really good at making fun of people, they are all famous among the dragons and phoenixes, and they are rare people. ”

Jian Huaizhen smiled slightly: "In this way, if it weren't for the big age difference, Tang Jingran would still be tempted in his heart." ”

When Tang was shocked to hear this, he lowered his head shyly and anxiously and said, "The eldest princess is really good at making fun of people, and she has never had such a thought in her heart. ”

Jian Huaizhen smiled slightly: "Okay, I haven't had such an idea. The princess said that it was bad. ”

"That's what it was." Tang said in a coquettish manner, and hung his head a little shyly as he said in the air, not daring to look at Jian Huaizhen.

Seeing that Tang was shocked by such a little bird's attitude, which was quite similar to the old man, he unconsciously moved slightly in his heart and wanted to inquire, but when the words came to his mouth, he felt that something was wrong, so he swallowed it back into his stomach.

After the two talked about Lu Manxue's situation, they agreed to meet tomorrow to discuss again.

On the second day, Jian Huaizhen invited Fang Xiao and Jiang Shaoheng to meet Tang Jingran.

As soon as a few people met, Fang Xiao and Jiang Shaoheng both felt that the clue was completely broken, and Lu Manxue's side was the remaining melon vine in his hand that could get to the bottom of it. The only way to do this now is to follow Tang Jingran's suggestion and track it down from Lu Manxue.

"What Miss Tang said is not bad, it is a good way to start with Lu Manxue right now." Fang Xiao said coldly.

Jiang Shaoheng was much more elegant, and stared at Tang with a smile and said, "I didn't expect that Miss Tang was young, but her knowledge was quite good. The back waves of the rivers and lakes push the front waves, and it seems that we are going to let Miss Tang come out of the way. ”

Jian Huaizhen also smiled beside her and said: "Yes, this princess also thinks that Miss Tang's opinion is very good, I invited the two of you here today because I want the two of you to help her." ”

When Jiang Shaoheng and Fang Xiao heard this, they couldn't help but be a little surprised, so they opened their mouths and said, "Why do you want me and the other two to help, but it doesn't hurt to say anything." ”

Tang was shocked and said: "Shocked Ran is not good at learning, and her martial arts are not as good as my Senior Sister Lu Manxue, I always lost it when I followed Senior Sister Lu in the past two days, and I mentioned this matter to the eldest princess yesterday, and the eldest princess said that she wanted to ask the two of you to help, and that's the case." ”

Hearing this, Fang Yu agreed: "Since this is the case, let someone Fang help Miss Tang, Brother Jiang is only afraid that it will be too ostentatious, it is more appropriate for me to come forward." ”

Tang was shocked to hear Fang Xiao's words, and said with great joy: "Thank you Fang Daxia for helping me." ”

Jian Huaizhen also said from the side: "Thank you Brother Fang for helping, judging from the current situation, if Brother Fang can help him, it will not be difficult to track down Lu Manxue." ”

Tang Jingran also said happily: "What the eldest princess said is right, if Fang Xiaoxia makes a move, there is nothing difficult in the world." ”

Fang Xiao, who was originally frosty and expressionless, heard this, and he didn't smile slightly.

After several people discussed and stopped, they went their separate ways.

Fang Yu and Tang were shocked and a group of people went to track down Lu Manxue, Lu Manxue seemed to be no different from the plain, still wandering around the streets, casually bargaining with the vendors.

Later, Lu Manxue went to a tea shop, and she didn't come out for a long time, she was a little anxious, so she spoke to Fang Yu beside her: "Senior Sister Lu Manxue has been in for a long time and has never come out, is it already after me to track her, can you go in and investigate?" ”

Fang Xiao said quietly: "Don't be careful, I have been chasing you for half a day, I think your Senior Sister Lu is very delicate, she just entered the teahouse to test whether there is anyone to follow, if I wait to enter, I will fall into your Senior Sister Lu's tricks, judging from the current situation, your Senior Sister Lu will not stay for too long, I think I will come out, so I can wait for a while." ”

Hearing Fang Yu's words, Tang nodded and said, "Yes, what Fang Daxia said is not bad, judging from the current situation, it is not the time yet, so wait and see." ”

Someone waited for a while, and then saw Lu Manxue Shi Ran coming out of it.

Lu Manxue glanced at the market and found that there was no one to follow, so she hurried towards a restaurant.

Fang Xiao and Tang were shocked and chased after him quietly.

I saw that Lu Manxue quickly walked into the extremely lively restaurant.

Seeing this, Fang Xiao said to Tang Xianran: "This place is different from Fang Cai's teahouse, dragons and snakes are mixed, so you have to prevent Lu Manxue from slipping away from behind. ”

Hearing this, Tang was shocked and said to Fang Yu with great admiration: "Brother Fang Yu really lives up to his reputation, a few days ago, I and Lu Manxue were like this. ”

Fang Yu nodded and said: "Then we will act separately, you monitor the movement in front, I will go to the back of the restaurant to intercept, if you find Lu Manxue coming out, high-five three times, you can converge and continue to track." ”

"Good idea, Fang Daxia is really amazing." Tang was extremely impressed and said to Fang Xiao.

Fang Yu picked up the sword and said to Tang Jingran: "Since the matter has been finalized, let's go our separate ways, Miss Jingran should be careful and don't act rashly." ”

Hearing Fang Xiao's advice, Tang Jingran opened his mouth and said: "It's okay, I care about it, Brother Fang Xiao can rest assured." ”

Seeing this, Fang Xiao nodded slightly, followed his body for a moment, and disappeared.

Tang was shocked to know that there was no vain under the fame, and Fang Xiao's martial arts were really extremely high.

Fang Yushi unleashed his martial arts, and soon arrived at the back door of the restaurant, picked up a place to start watching.

Sure enough, it was not unexpected, and after a while, Lu Manxue sneaked out of the restaurant, picked up a road and went out of the city.

Seeing this, Fang Xiao quickly high-fived him three times, and Tang at the door heard the sound and quickly rushed over.

"Fang Daxia, is there a situation, did Lu Manxue really escape through the back door?" Tang was shocked and asked.

Fang Yu stretched out his hand and pointed to Lu Manxue's figure in the distance and said, "That's your senior sister, seeing that she means to go out of the city, let's follow immediately." ”

Tang was shocked to hear this, so he nodded and said, "Yes, it's Senior Sister Lu Manxue, it's almost noon, what is she doing when she goes out of the city?" ”

Fang Xiao said, "This matter is quite strange, but just follow it and take a look." ”

Tang was shocked and said, "What Fang Daxia said is that by chasing Lu Manxue, you can know what she is doing. ”

The two stopped together, and followed Lu Manxue behind.

followed all the way out of the city, and Lu Manxue in front of him began to improve his light skills and walked away.

Fang Xiao was portable, and this Tang was shocked and also performed light skills, and followed closely.

Lu Manxue seemed to be quite scheming, and looked back at the roadside every other hour, but fortunately, Fang Xiao was very experienced in tracking a piece, and he never let Lu Manxue find out about it.

The two chased to a broken temple, and saw a person waiting in front of the broken temple, Lu Manxue nodded to him, and the person also nodded.

Then the two entered the temple.

Fang Yu Lu Manxue was inconvenient to break in rashly, and after a round of inspection around the temple, he went up to the roof to investigate the situation inside.

I saw some tables, chairs and benches in the ruined temple, the tables were full of cups and plates, and a group of people were drinking.

To Fang Xiao and Lu Manxue's surprise, Jiulong Xiangruiding was on the incense hall.

Lu Manxue and Fang Cai were among them, only to see Lu Manxue raise a drink and say: "Thank you brothers for your help this time, Lord Shi Heng wants me to reward you well, and after drinking this bowl of wine, I will ask you to come and receive Lord Shi Heng's reward." ”

As soon as he heard this, a group of high-rollers at the table said, "Thank you, Lord Shiheng." ”

After the people finished drinking, Lu Manxue took out two leather bags, put them on the table and said: "Lord Shi Heng said, this time you helped to kidnap the Nine Dragons Xiangruiding and kill the foreign envoys, and blamed this matter on the candle shadow shake red hand, how hard you have worked." ”

The group of heroes at the banquet looked at the leather bag on the table, and knew in their hearts that it must be Lord Shi Heng's reward, so they all said one after another: "It's not hard, it's my honor to help Lord Shi Heng." ”

Lu Manxue smiled slightly and said: "Okay, in order to reward you, Lord Shi Heng, then I took a bag of rare Dongzhu treasured in the house, two per person, and a gold ingot, which is considered to be drinking money for you." ”

When everyone heard this, they smiled and said, "Thank you, Lord Shiheng, it's rare to remember us, the remuneration is too generous." ”

Lu Manxue said with a smile: "You have helped Lord Shi Heng, Lord Shi Heng can not say anything, not to mention that Lord Shi Heng may have a place to borrow from you in the future, today these are just small meanings." ”

Hearing this, the others spoke one after another: "Lord Shi Heng is polite to us rivers and lakes, thank you so much, Lord Shi Heng." ”

Lu Manxue opened the leather bag, and suddenly the essence was dazzling, it was full of crystal pearls, and there were some Jiangyang thieves who were used to robbing houses and houses, but they had never seen such good pearls, and they were all a little stunned.

After Lu Manxue distributed the things evenly, she instructed the person who entered with him and said, "Brother Xu, I bother you to send this thing to you." ”

The man answered, and put all the yellow and white things in your hands.

These high-rollers had never seen pearls of this quality, and after taking them, they were all overjoyed and played with them.

After waiting for a while, Lu Manxue suddenly pulled out her sword and stabbed it in the chest at a high-roller beside her, but the person was also quick to react and was about to dodge, but suddenly felt that he couldn't lift his strength, and he was stabbed to death by Lu Manxue on the seat.

As a result, the other people in the banquet suddenly made an uproar, but they all felt weak and unable to raise their energy.

One of the high-rollers asked sharply: "Lu Manxue, what the hell are you doing, why did you assassinate Brother Li." ”

Lu Manxue pulled out the sword from the corpse, kicked the corpse to the ground with one kick, then turned the sword upside down and pointed at the questioner and said, "This is what Lord Shi Heng meant, if you want to blame you when you go to the Netherworld, blame Lord Shi Heng." ”

When the high-roller heard this, he didn't want to sit still, and wanted to fight, but found that his internal strength could not be raised at all, so he couldn't help but ask: "Why am I exhausted and can't raise any internal strength?" ”

Lu Manxue smiled coldly and said: "It's very simple, this batch of rare pearls is smeared with special cartilage powder, once it comes into contact, it will lose its martial arts, and then it will be tired and weak." ”

When the high-rollers heard this, they shouted angrily and asked, "Why are you okay at all, only to see that you have also fiddled with these objects." ”

Lu Manxue smiled slightly and said: "This matter is not surprising, since you are dying, then you might as well tell you and let you be a ghost." It's quite simple, and the cartilage is not damaged by me because I have taken the antidote beforehand. ”

Hearing this, the heroes were in an uproar and wanted to flee for their lives, but this special cartilage powder had a strange medicinal power, and no one could compete with it, and they couldn't even raise a little internal force.

Looking at the people struggling to climb the rivers and lakes, Lu Manxue said to the person who came with her: "Brother Xu, Lord Shi Heng instructed that there should be no living mouth, and after the killing, put a fire to burn this broken temple clean, and don't leave a living mouth."

When the person surnamed Xu heard this, he respectfully replied to Lu Manxue: "Yes, my subordinates follow Lord Shi's orders." ”

As he spoke, he raised a heavy sword from behind his back, Huo Ran turned around and stabbed at Lu Manxue.

Lu Manxue didn't mean to have this change, but she was also a person who was extremely quick to adapt, so she immediately swung her sword to block the incoming sword, and then shouted and asked, "Xu Yanbing, why are you doing this." ”

Xu Yanbing missed the blow, so he said with a smile: "I also acted on the orders of Lord Shi, and Lord Shi said that as long as the matter is done, there is no need to keep you, and it will be a disaster to keep it in the future." ”

Lu Manxue didn't expect Shi Heng, who was still a pillow person last night, to be so ruthless, and asked with some tears in her eyes: "Shi Heng really ordered you like this." ”

Xu Yanbing smiled and said: "Lu Manxue, you underestimate our Lord Shi too much, our Lord Shi can stand tall in the imperial court, and even the old man of Yu Qian has been brought down, without some extraordinary skills, how can such a big thing be done." ”

Hearing Xu Yanbing's words, Lu Manxue gritted her teeth and scolded: "It's all to blame for my lack of eyes and mistaken look at Shi Heng, a person with wolf ambitions." ”

Xu Yanbing opened his mouth and said: "Even so, it's too late to regret it now, Lord Shi Heng has already issued a killing order, and he can't hide anywhere he wants to go." ”

With that, Xu Yanbing waved the sword in his hand and struck directly at Lu Manxue's front door.

Lu Manxue couldn't either, so she had to stand up and fight.

However, the martial arts of the two are far apart, Lu Manxue is not Xu Yanbing's opponent at all, after seven or eight moves, she has been defeated and precarious, Xu Yanbing knocked away the long sword in her hand with a sword, and she was about to lose, and was injured by Xu Yanbing under the sword.

said that it was too late, it was too fast, and a person suddenly flew down from the roof, and a sword opened Xu Yanbing's incoming sword.

Xu Yanbing didn't expect that he actually killed a Cheng biting Jin Lai halfway, and the swordsmanship of the person who came was fierce, and there was no way to resist it, so he hurriedly retreated to the side with his sword.

When I looked at it, there was an abyss-like figure in the field, and his face was gloomy.

Xu Yanbing was secretly surprised in his heart, he only received a sword, and he also knew that this person's martial arts were quite profound.

"Who are you and why are you meddling in this?" Xu Yanbing said to the visitor.

Fang Xiao didn't answer, just turned his sword and pointed at Xu Yanbing, and spit out a word: "Come." ”

Xu Yanbing has never been so despised, although he knows that this person's martial arts are unfathomable, he still has the heart to fight with him.

didn't answer at the moment, pinched a sword duel, and then assassinated him.

Fang Xiao saw that his swordsmanship was quite impressive, so he shouted: "Yes, your sword moves can still reach ten moves in my hands." ”

When Xu Yanbing heard this, he was very resentful in his heart, and he shook out a large sword flower and attacked towards Fang Xiao's front door.

only listened to a few sounds, and the two of them made a few moves.

"The swordsmanship is not bad, but it is not human." Fang Yu spoke for a long time.

"Hmph, it's been eight moves, and I think your big words are too outrageous." Xu Yanbing opened his mouth angrily and said.

Fang Xiao smiled slightly and said, "I want to see if what I said is big, even if I make a move." ”

Hearing this, Xu Yanbing said very resentfully: "Okay, then I'll come to recruit." ”

With that, he waved his sword and stabbed towards Fang Xiaoji, who had opened the empty door.
