Chapter 8 Driving the Tiger and Devouring the Wolf

Meng Guangning slammed the heavy sword behind his back to the ground and made a muffled "bang" sound, and said with a threat: "Brother, I advise you to cooperate!"

Xuanyi's mind was in a hurry, and an idea suddenly popped up, and he said resolutely: "Master once said that those who insult my weapons should fight with their lives, even if they are defeated, presumably the master will avenge me." ”

"Boy, don't talk nonsense, let's do it!" Sun Minbo threw the pig's trotters that had been gnawed clean in his hand, and was about to step forward to fight with a big knife, but was stopped by Cao Liangjun waving his hand.

"Little brother, who is your master?" Cao Liangjun asked with a smile.

"Jiangyin Qi Xinghuai!" Xuan Yi lightly spit out a name, and the image of an elderly man who looked like an old farmer with a slight leaning body appeared in his mind.

"What?" Sun Minbo, who had the most impetuous personality among the three, couldn't help but exclaim, Cao Liangjun and Meng Guangning also had strange faces, this Qi Xinghuai was the eldest brother of the three of them, the head of the four demons of Jiangyin.

"Boy, don't blow this cowhide! Why don't I remember that my eldest brother accepted such an apprentice as you? Although it doesn't seem to be weak!" Sun Minbo said angrily, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he reported the details of the three of them.

"Oh, third brother, don't worry!" Cao Liangjun hurriedly opened his mouth to stop Sun Minbo from continuing, he arched his hand towards Xuanyi and smiled: "Haha, I didn't expect to meet my nephew here." ”

Xuanyi pretended to be surprised and looked at the three of them, looking stunned.

Cao Liangjun pointed to Meng and Sun and introduced them one by one: "We are your three senior uncles, these two are the second senior uncle and the third senior uncle. Yan Bi pointed to himself and introduced: "I am the fourth." ”

Xuanyi "suddenly realized", bowed down and was about to bow down, Cao Liangjun stepped forward to help him up first, and asked in a kind tone: "The three of us brothers have been with the eldest brother for many years, I don't know when the eldest brother will bring the nephew into the door wall?"

Xuanyi thought to himself: This is my words.

He bowed solemnly into the distance: "Ten years ago, I was able to worship my master in my hometown. ”

"Ten years ago?" Cao Liangjun suspected, he only remembered the events of ten years ago, and he couldn't remember exactly when Qi Xinghuai returned to his hometown and accepted such an apprentice.

Cao Liangjun nodded and praised with a smile: "That's right, the eldest brother did return to his hometown Jiangyin Town ten years ago to visit his parents, but he didn't expect to accept such an apprentice as his nephew. ”

Xuanyi's heart froze, and he hurriedly summoned the wood core to check it, and all the people he scanned through the wood core would leave a detailed record in the wood core. He flipped through the interface to the upper position, and finally saw Qi Xinghuai's three big characters.

Click on Qi Xinghuai's information panel, in which the last column of the personal identity column records his information in detail, the first column of his hometown is written as a native of Wuhua Town, Jian'an City, Xichuan Province, and the column of his parents and relatives is written that he is an orphan, and his relatives have died when he was young.

The answer is about to come out, and it is impossible for the three of them, as sworn brothers, not to know the true situation of the eldest brother Qi Xinghuai. So obviously, Cao Liangjun is still tempting.

Xuanyi's acting skills soared instantly, and he said with a blank face: "If I'm not mistaken, my master and I met in Wuhua Town, and he didn't go to visit his parents at that time, but was drunk in the Qinglou and fell on the side of the road and was bumped into by me." ”

Cao Liangjun and the three listened with strange expressions, and the corners of Meng Guangning's mouth twitched a few times, and the irrepressible laughter was about to erupt.

"And then?" Cao Liangjun continued.

Then, after the master sobered up, he saw that I had some qualifications, so he taught me a set of exercises and accepted me as an apprentice. Xuanyi replied "honestly".

"Hahaha!" Meng Guangning's hard-suppressed laughter finally broke out, and he laughed with tears in the corners of his eyes: "What a big brother, he looks like a serious and decent person on weekdays, but I didn't expect to go to the kiln in private!

Cao Liangjun also touched his nose in embarrassment, and believed Xuanyi's words in his heart. Even the people in the gang rarely know that the eldest brother Qi Xinghuai is actually from Wuhua Town, Jian'an City, Xichuan Province, not from Jiangyin Town, but later the four of them worshiped in Jiangyin Town and became famous, so they were collectively called the "Four Demons of Jiangyin". As for the eldest brother's visit to the kiln, it is also explained that since he was a child, his parents died, and there were no relatives in the family, but it is reasonable to visit the Qinglou to have fun.

Cao Liangjun coughed lightly a few times to resolve the embarrassing atmosphere, and for the first time, he greeted with a heartfelt smile and pleasant face: "Come on, come on, don't stand, everyone sit, sit down!" Everyone put down their weapons and resumed the previous harmonious atmosphere again, Meng and Sun continued the unfinished barbecue feast, and Xuanyi and Cao Liangjun chatted with each other.

"Uncle Shi, didn't you Shattered Moon Gang participate in the competition for the Huanyu Sword Shrine this time?" asked Xuanyi seemingly casually.

Cao Liangjun took a bite of a piece of barbecue meat in his mouth and replied, "We were entrusted by someone to help come in and kill someone." ”

"Murder?"

"Well, don't ask about this, we accept money and do things for others, so naturally we have to keep it secret. ”

Xuanyi nodded and didn't ask again, in fact, he knew in his heart that the three people in front of him must have been entrusted by the king Hong Yeran to assassinate Hong Yeyu, although he made up an identity to temporarily confuse the past, but he still had to be careful not to reveal flaws.

After a night of silence, Meng Guangning, who had been fully rested early the next morning, said goodbye and left to continue searching for the traces of the "King of Xichuan", but they did not know that the three of them passed by the real target.

Xuanyi deduced that from the fact that Meng Guangning and the three of them worked so hard to help King Xin, it can be seen that the relationship between the Shattered Moon Gang and the Wu Dynasty court must be quite close, plus Long Yu had vaguely said before that the Shattered Moon Gang had the secret support of a big man behind it, so this big man is likely to be the third prince of the current imperial court, King Xinwang Hong Yeran.

If the assumption is true, then the fiasco suffered by the Jinhai Provincial Branch of the Juxian Pavilion before can be explained, after all, no matter how strong a gang is, it still can't compete with the official.

Xuanyi faintly felt as if he had uncovered a corner of some hidden things, starting from the annihilation of the entire army of the Jinhai Provincial Branch of the Juxian Pavilion, there seemed to be an undercurrent surging in the martial arts of the entire Wu Dynasty, and even the seemingly innocent Hong Yeyu in front of him was hiding something, which could be seen from his secret worship in the King Kong Temple under the pseudonym True Dragon.

On the one hand, there is the Broken Moon Gang, which is willing to be a lackey for King Xin, on the other hand, there is the Kongo Temple that secretly supports King Xichuan, and the host Huanyu Sword Sect who doesn't know what kind of mind he has, Xuanyi felt a headache for a while, and regretted his reckless decision, and was involved in this battle for no reason because of his soft-heartedness.

His current situation is very embarrassing, almost equivalent to being tied to the fifth prince Hong Yeyu, if one is not careful, he will lose all his life. What's even more embarrassing is that he and Hong Yeyu have not established a strong relationship between monarchs and ministers and interests, which may make his efforts worthless.
