Chapter 53: Suspicion

Previous Chapter

As soon as this word came out, Bai Xuan's whole person was like an arrow off the string, heading straight at the small group of Gray Sect disciples, Zi Yan's long whip shook, followed by the two of them like divine soldiers descending from the sky, shocking the Quartet, and all the seven or eight Gray Sect disciples were scattered in just an instant.

Bai Xuan mercilessly grabbed a Gray Sect disciple is punch, and this sudden change made the Gray Sect disciple fly out before he had time to be surprised, and fell heavily on the stall that had not yet opened.

Thinking of the evil deeds of the Gray Sect, Zi Yan was even more angry, jumping into the crowd and waving a long whip, the long whip with soul strength roared, and even beat the disciples of the Gray Sect to the ground.

A group of Gray Sect disciples staggered to the ground, all of them full of fear.

"You... Who of you dare to do something to our Gray Sect!"

One of the Gray Sect disciples who led the team kept retreating while shouting, and Bai Xuan sneered,

"What don't you dare, I dare to kill even the two of you Dharma Protectors, just a few Gray Sect disciples, am I still afraid of you?"

Hearing that the young man in front of him actually claimed to have killed the two protectors of the Gray Sect, the leading disciple of the Gray Sect instantly turned to ashes, and said in horror,

"You... You... You're Bai Xuan!"

Bai Xuan took an arrow step, and the golden soul energy wrapped in a heavy fist, and hit the body of the leading Gray Sect disciple fiercely, and the leading Gray Sect disciple immediately spat blood from his mouth, and flew out ten zhang away at once.

Looking at the leading Gray Sect disciple who had almost fainted, Bai Xuan said disdainfully,

"Grandpa, I'm Bai Xuan, you'd better go back and tell Ash Ze, I Bai Xuan can't hold sand in his eyes, sooner or later pull out the tumor of Gray Sect, let him wash his neck and wait for me." Get out!"

Bai Xuan was angry when he thought of Ash Ze and Xue Shang's tricks, in fact, when he was on the roof, Bai Xuan, like Zi Yan, had the urge to rush down and kill the two, but he knew that his strength was very different from Ash Ze, not to mention that there was an unfathomable Xue Shang on the side.

If Bai Xuan rushed into the teahouse with a hot mind at that time, it is estimated that he would only end up being captured, not only could not save Yanmen, but could also be used as a bargaining chip to threaten Yan Mu.

But now facing these Gray Sect disciples, Bai Xuan doesn't have to think about it so much.

When the Gray Sect disciples found out that Bai Xuan didn't kill them, where was they willing to stay for an extra second, dragging the half-dead leader Gray Sect disciple who was beaten, and ran to the dock with their lives.

Zi Yan looked at the disciples of the Gray Sect who were fleeing in a panic, and frowned at Bai Xuan,

"Why don't you kill them?"

Bai Xuan said coldly,

"What's the use of killing them, only by letting them go back alive to report the news, can Ash Ze know that I will mess up his plans. ”

Zi Yan looked at the disciples of the Gray Sect who disappeared from view, and said fiercely,

"I can't wait to skin them!"

Bai Xuan sighed and said,

"Since Ash Ze has already moved this thought, then the Yanmen Gray Sect will have a battle, and if you want to pick their skin, you still have a chance. ”

After speaking, he didn't look back, turned around and continued to run towards Red Flame Castle.

In the Red Flame Castle, two lights and shadows, one white and one purple, fall together, shuttling through this busy street.

"Bell bell bell" A crisp copper bell slowed down the light and shadow.

"Did you hear that?"

Bai Xuan slowly stopped and looked around.

Zi Yan behind him nodded, and then a warm smile appeared on her face, and the jade hand was raised, pointing to the distance,

"Oh, what about that!"

On the side of the street of Red Flame Castle, a little girl wearing a fiery red skirt was standing next to a stall selling sugar gourds, and behind her stood two mighty and serious Yanmen soldiers, followed by an eighteen or nineteen-year-old maid.

The little girl pointed to the sugar gourd inserted in the bamboo skewer, licked her lips vigorously, squinted and said,

"Sister, I'm going to eat this. ”

The attendant maid smiled and nodded, and just as she wanted to withdraw the money from her arms, a man's hand stood in front of her, and then a gentle and sweet voice said,

"I'll ask you to eat this sugar gourd. ”

The little girl was stunned for a moment, and as soon as she turned her head, she cheered,

"Big Brother Bai Xuan! Sister Zi Yan!"

These two people suddenly appeared behind Yan Qiao'er, not to mention the maids, and even the two Yanmen soldiers were startled.

Just about to start, it can be seen that it is Bai Xuan and Zi Yan, who are relieved and greet each other with a smile.

Zi Yan pinched Yan Qiao'er's little face hard, and said with a smile,

"Did Qiao'er miss me?"

Yan Qiao'er rubbed her little face that was pinched by Zi Yan, stuck out her tongue and said aggrievedly,

"You always pinch Qiao'er's face, Qiao'er doesn't want you!"

It was really childish words, Yan Qiao'er's innocence and innocence actually dissipated all the grievances in Bai Xuan and Zi Yan's hearts in an instant

"Why did Bai Gongzi and Purple Girl come back, didn't the master of the door say that you went to Donggang to look for someone?"

Hearing the Yanmen soldiers behind him ask, Bai Xuancai put away his smile and said,

"Trouble the soldier to help me contact the master of the Yanmen immediately, Bai Xuan has something important to report, don't delay. ”

Seeing Bai Xuan's expression so solemn, the Yanmen soldiers couldn't help but get nervous, and said in a low voice,

"But what's wrong?"

Bai Xuan nodded,

"It's true that something happened, but I hope the soldiers will forgive me, I want to tell the Lord of Yanmen about this in person. ”

The soldiers of Yanmen all knew that Bai Xuan was Yan Mu's guest, and he was also a great hero of the two protectors of the Gray Sect, so naturally he would not have any doubts about Bai Xuan, and made a military salute towards Bai Xuan, and ran towards Yanmen non-stop.

"I didn't expect Brother Bai to come back in half a day, but with news from my sister, do you need the old man's help?"

Seeing Bai Xuan, Zi Yan and Yan Qiao'er stepping into the Yan Gate, Yan Mu's fiery red beard rose slightly, and greeted each other with a smile.

Bai Xuan hurriedly stepped forward and bowed,

"The blessing of the master of the Yan Sect, there is indeed some news, but Bai Xuan is in such a hurry to come back, not because of this matter. ”

Yan Mu was a little puzzled,

"Oh?

Bai Xuan didn't answer, but asked,

"I wonder what happened to Brother Yanyi?"

Yan Mu sighed and said,

"It's not good, this kid blames himself too much, he has locked himself in the room for a long time, and he doesn't see anyone. ”

Bai Xuan also knew that when such a thing happened, Yan Yan would naturally not be able to recover so quickly, but the matter of the Gray Sect was urgent, so he could only turn around and find another opportunity to visit Yan Yan, and then secretly glanced at Zi Yan, and looked at Yan Qiao'er on the side, Zi Yan immediately understood, picked up Yan Qiao'er and ran away,

"Let's go, my sister will take you over there to play. ”

Yan Qiao'er's face was full of innocence, and before she could react, she was hugged by Zi Yan far away.

Seeing Zi Yan take Yan Qiao'er away so roughly, Bai Xuan was really a little crying and laughing, and sighed and said to Yan Mu,

"Can the Lord of the Flame Gate take a step to speak? ”

Seeing that Bai Xuan was so cautious, Yan Mu couldn't help frowning, and said slowly,

"Brother Bai come with the old man. ”

Bai Xuan followed Yan Mu's huge body and walked into a study, Yan Mu, who entered the study, removed all the guards and maids in front of the door, and then checked the doors and windows again, and after confirming that they were locked, he sat opposite Bai Xuan and said,

"Brother Bai, please say, what is so secret?"

Bai Xuan pursed his lips, took a deep breath and said,

"I've seen Ash Ze in Donggang!"

Yan Mu was taken aback, and said with a skeptical face,

"Is this true? Brother Bai can't be mistaken, right?"

Bai Xuan said coldly,

"There is no mistake, not only that, but Zi Yan and I also overheard his conversation with a person named Xue Shang. ”

Yan Mu's brows were furrowed, and the flame beard was squeezed together, and he said in a deep voice,

"Brother Bai is talking about Xue Shang, the hall master of Fengyun Pavilion?"

Bai Xuan nodded,

"It's this person. ”

Yan Mu thought for a moment and said slowly,

"It's strange, if Ash Ze really returned to Donggang, why didn't the old man know anything about it?"

Bai Xuan sneered and said,

"If I'm not mistaken, the person currently in control of the Gray Sect's movement information in the Yan Sect should be Yan Kui, right?"

Yan Mu hesitated slightly, and said with a little unhappiness

"What do you mean by that?"

Bai Xuan knew that Yan Mu would not believe in himself so easily, so he licked his lips and said,

"If I hadn't heard Xue Shang say this name in person, I wouldn't want to believe that Yan Kui was actually a spy of Fengyun Pavilion. ”

Yan Mu's expression became more solemn,

"Yan Kui has been in my Yanmen for three years, not only has he made all kinds of military exploits, but he has never made any mistakes, so the old man promoted him to be the leader of the first-class general of Yanmen. Could it be that with your words, you want the old man to believe that Yan Kui is a spy of Fengyun Pavilion?"

Bai Xuan didn't expect Yan Mu's trust in Yan Kui to be deeper than he imagined, he was a little speechless for a while, sighed and said,

"I also heard Xue Shang say it personally, he said that Yan Kui is his younger brother, his real name is Xue Kui, if it weren't for that, why would Xue Shang do more?"

Yan Mu stroked the flame beard and said lightly,

"As far as the old man knows, Xue Shang is a scheming person, didn't Brother Bai think that Xue Shang deliberately put some false news to you, so that you can go back to Yanmen to sow discord?"

In fact, Bai Xuan had also thought about this hypothesis, but unfortunately it was only a flash, and then he frowned and said,

"I can understand that Xue Shang wants to deceive me, but if Ash Ze knows that I am here, with his resentment towards me, how can he let me go so easily?"

Yan Mu sneered and said,

"Brother Bai is too underestimated to be gray, if he can let Yanmen kill each other, so as to take advantage of the weakness and uproot Yanmen, this bit of forbearance is still easy for him. ”

When Yan Mu said this, Bai Xuan himself was a little suspicious, could he really fall for the discord between Ash Ze and Xue Shang?

Bai Xuan said with a hesitant face,

"But I really saw Ash Ze, and Xue Shang not only knew about the martial arts competition between Brother Yan Yan and me, but also knew that the sect master was injured because of this, what is going on?"

This time, Yan Mu's face finally had a look of surprise,

"Xue Shang knows that the old man is injured?"

Bai Xuan nodded again and again, and continued,

"Can the Lord of the Yan Sect spread this story?"

Yan Mu shook his head slowly,

"It has not been spread outside, even if the news is accidentally leaked, it has only been half a day, where can it be spread in the ears of the Gray Sect, if you say so, it is really a little strange. ”

Bai Xuan looked at Yan Mu and suddenly said,

"Lord Yanmen believes what I say?"

Yan Mu replied lightly,

"Yan Kui is hard to say, but Xue Shang's name, you can't make it up, the old man will believe that you have really seen Ash Ze and Xue Shang. ”

Seeing that Yan Mu was also suspicious, Bai Xuan continued,

"Then why is there no one to report such a big event as Ash Ze's return to Donggang, doesn't the Yanmen master think that there is something strange in this?"

Yan Mu shook the flame beard, sighed slightly, and said,

"Yan Kui, you have also seen it, although the strength is outstanding, but after all, he is too young, and young people sometimes can't hold their breath, and occasionally they are frivolous.

The matter of the Gray Sect, he didn't report it, and it wasn't the first time for him, and at the last dinner, wasn't he taught me a lesson because of this. But even so, as long as anything happens, he can deal with it in time, do you really think that the position of the first rank general of Yanmen is so easy to sit in?"

Indeed, as Yan Mu said, at the dinner party, Yan Kui intercepted the secret letter of the Gray Sect, knew it but did not report it, and was counted by Yan Mu in public, but he was not severely punished afterwards, which shows that Yan Mu still has some favoritism towards Yan Kui in his heart.

All this also made Bai Xuan feel that Yan Kui's original intention of being a spy of Fengyun Pavilion began to waver.

But when Bai Xuan thought about it carefully, he still felt that something was not quite right.

"If according to what the Yan Sect Master said, how did Ash Ze and Xue Shang think that the Sect Master would easily win my trust, if the Sect Master didn't believe it, then wouldn't it be in vain for them to spend a lot of time staging this play?"

Yan Mu thought about Bai Xuan's words carefully, and his face became more and more solemn,

"Yes, the Gray Sect has been fighting with my Yanmen for many years, Ash Ze should know best the relationship between me and Yan Kui, and it is indeed unbelievable to want to use you, an outsider, to bring down Yan Kui and turn against Yan Sect, but Yan Kui has fought against the Gray Sect with me over the years, and has never been soft, how can it be a spy of Fengyun Pavilion?"

Bai Xuan sighed and said,

"According to Zi Yan's inference, the door master's injury will take at least half a month to recuperate, and Brother Yan Yi doesn't know when he will recover. The top priority is to know whether Yan Kui is a spy of Fengyun Pavilion. ”

Yan Mu's face was a little haggard, maybe through Bai Xuan's analysis, Yan Mu's trust in Yan Kui had been shaken, but he still didn't want to believe it.

Maybe it's because he has experienced two betrayals, betrayed by his own sister.

That kind of pain seemed to be buried in the deepest part of Yan Mu's heart, he thought that time could erase everything, but now, if Yan Kui was really a spy, it would simply tear apart the old wounds again.

Bloodily torn apart.

He didn't know if he could bear that pain anymore, after all, he was old.

Yan Mu's flame beard slowly drooped, and he was powerless,

"What does Brother Bai think?"

Bai Xuan took a deep breath, his eyes were misty, he knew that Yan Kui had been in Yanmen for three years, if he was really a spy, it must be extremely hidden, and ordinary temptations would not be able to draw any clues from him.

The only way to do this is to make Yan Kui feel absolutely safe, and to create an environment that makes it difficult for Yan Kui to ride a tiger and become a benevolent if he doesn't succeed, so that it is possible to force him to comply.

But now that time is pressing, how can this situation be created in such a short period of time?

Bai Xuan couldn't even think of a reason for it.

Looking at Bai Xuan's appearance of scratching his ears and cheeks, Yan Mu smiled faintly,

"Brother Bai, don't worry, no matter what Ash Ze is planning, as long as the old man is there, even if he fights for this life, he will not let them move the flames in the slightest. ”

Yan Mu said a word, and suddenly woke up Bai Xuan, who was in a fugue, and jumped up screaming,

"Yes!
