"Rakshasa Gate, Blood Knife Mountain, Burning Sky Valley, Luoxia Valley, Tiger Roaring Heights... Among the three gates and twelve towns, nearly half of the twelve towns have clearly fallen to Chixiao Gate, and this is not counting the ambiguous Fengyue Tower, Tingjian Mansion, and Dragon Tiger Gate..."

When he came back from the meeting of the Sword Pavilion, it was already approaching dusk, and although it was only a third-line red robe, Fang Ziyu, who was still invited to participate in this meeting, walked on the streets of Henghuang City and muttered in his mouth.

"There are seven or eight hundred masters of the rivers and lakes who have come from various sects to secretly lurk in Henghuang City in the city, and these have only been discovered, and those hiding in the shadows are probably several times more than this number. Yan Chop on the side also took over the conversation at this time, and said with a solemn expression.

"Alas..."Fang Ziyu sighed and said to himself: "It seems that this Sword Pavilion is more than auspicious. ”

Speaking of this, Fang Ziyu also turned her head to look at Xu Han, who had been silent on the side, and she asked: "The surname is Xu, you said that this Sword Pavilion is also in the same breath as the Great Xia Imperial Court, if Chixiaomen really takes these people from the rivers and lakes to attack the Sword Pavilion, won't it be torn with the imperial court?"

Fang Ziyu's unintentional question hit the doubt in Xu Han's heart.

He had thought of this from the beginning.

With the power of the sect against the imperial court, even if it seems that the Great Xia Dynasty is much weaker than the many sects, but the dead camel is also bigger than the horse, if the two sides really tear their faces, no matter which side wins, they will probably end up losing both.

This is unwise.

But if the Chixiao Sect alone went crazy, how could they convince the rest of these sects to follow him to take such a big risk to do this?

Is there any reason behind this that has been overlooked?

Xu Han couldn't figure it out, and today's sword-wielding meeting probably ended up because of such a problem, and the helpless Nangong Jing could only order all departments to strictly guard against it, and of course, he even instructed Xu Han to keep an eye on the hundred or so sword-wielding people in his hand who might defect at any time.

In addition to this matter, the successive assassinations of the powerhouses of the various sects of Great Xia and the Great Yan Realm have also intensified recently, Xiao Yu personally went out to investigate the matter, and after half a month, he still found nothing, and this has also become an important evidence for all parties in the rivers and lakes to point to the disadvantage of the Sword Pavilion.

Many things are added together, and Xu Han also faintly smelled the smell of the mountain rain coming and the wind filling the building.

......

The group soon returned to their house.

And Ye Hongjian stood in front of the gate of Nafu, seemingly waiting for a long time.

"It's time to settle accounts after the fall. Seeing this, Fang Ziyu glanced at Xu Han and said so, and Yan Shu on the side also reached out and patted Xu Han's shoulder, signaling him to take care. After that, the two of them greeted Ye Hongjian with great interest, and then entered the mansion.

Xu Han, who secretly thought that Ye Hongjian was still angry with himself about today's Nangong Jing, scratched his head: "What... I'm a little hungry, I'll go in and see if Brother Chu's meal is ready..."

Xu Han said in a panic, and with the idea of avoiding the edge for the time being, he wanted to follow Fang Ziyu and the others into the mansion.

It's just that Ye Hongjian couldn't fulfill his wish, and at that time, he stretched out his hand and grabbed Xu Han's arm.

"It's already past dinner, I'll take you somewhere else to eat. The girl whispered, but the calm tone made Xu Han's heart skip a beat, and he couldn't figure out the other party's thoughts.

However, he still nodded stubbornly: "That... Oh well..."

Ye Hongjian probably heard the strangeness in Xu Han's tone, she glanced at the other party angrily, and said, "Where is the courage to promise Nangong Jing today? Is this still the Xu Han I know?"

"Huh. How dare Xu Han go against Ye Hongjian at this time, he can only hurriedly echo and laugh.

......

Ye Hongjianxun's restaurant is located in a corner in the north of Henghuang City, both in terms of scale and decoration are extremely simple, just the most ordinary roadside stalls, but the taste is surprisingly suitable for Xu Han's appetite.

Xu Han, who was sitting in the Sword Mansion and listening to Nangong Jing's group of people talk all afternoon, was indeed a little hungry, and at the moment of food, he naturally moved his index finger, and after carefully confirming that Ye Hongjian really let him come here to eat, he opened his mind and became windy.

During the whole process, Ye Hongjian didn't make a sound, but just looked at Xu Han with a smile on the corner of her mouth, as if this young man's appearance of eating and drinking was also an extremely interesting thing in her eyes.

Xu Han was a little uncomfortable by her, and raised his head and asked, "Red note, don't you eat it?"

"I've eaten it a long time ago. Ye Hongjian was a little helpless about Xu Han's lack of words, and replied angrily.

Xu Han's face suddenly showed embarrassment, looking at the sky, I am afraid that it has already passed the first hour, and this hour has indeed passed the time to finish eating.

Ye Hongjian probably saw Xu Han's embarrassment, she sighed secretly in her heart, this Xu Han is very alert on weekdays, but only on this man and woman is so wooden that people grit their teeth. But Ye Hongjian didn't want to see him so embarrassed after all, so he could only find a way to break this embarrassment.

"Is it delicious?" she asked with a smile at the time.

Xu Han, who was finally able to put aside the previous topic, naturally had to take advantage of this opportunity, and when he heard this, he nodded busily: "It's delicious." How did Red Note find such a shop?"

A few days ago, after eating the food made by Ye Hongjian himself without knowing it, Xu Han gave some incorrect comments. Since then, Ye Hongjian seems to have put a lot of effort into making the meals better every day, which is very much in line with Xu Han's appetite. And the restaurant I found today is also quite similar to Ye Hongjian's craftsmanship, Xu Han couldn't help but be a little curious.

But for some reason, a red cloud suddenly rose on Ye Hongjian's cheeks when she heard this question, as if she intended to avoid Xu Han's gaze, she turned her head away at that time and said, "Whatever... Whatever you want..."

"Is that so?" Xu Han didn't doubt him, but he was a little strange why he found this family whose taste was so similar to his.

"Otherwise!" Ye Hongjian's voice suddenly became a little louder, and a red cloud appeared on his cheeks again.

Rao is Xu Han also noticed something strange at this time, he looked at Ye Hongjian with a strange expression and was about to ask a question, but Ye Hongjian seemed to know what Xu Han was going to say, so he took the lead and stood up, and said in an unkind tone: "Have you finished eating!"

Seeing that Ye Hongjian was about to leave, Xu Han also hurriedly wiped the oil stains on the corners of his mouth, and then stood up, he was still worried that Ye Hongjian was still angry about Nangong Jing's matter, so he naturally didn't dare to dwell on this topic that Ye Hongjian didn't want to talk about.

"The shop checks out!" he called out to the shopkeeper who was still busy in the back room, thinking that after settling the bill, he would leave with Ye Hongjian.

But who knew that Ye Hongjian, who heard this, seemed to remember something, and hurriedly turned around and said, "Don't!"

But as soon as he had finished speaking, a woman in her early forties came out of the room.

She came to Xu Han with a smile, and said with a very familiar look: "No need, this girl has already paid her son for half a year's meal." ”

Xu Han was stunned when he heard that he was taking out money in his purse, he looked at the woman, and then at Ye Hongjian, who was holding his forehead on the side, and he was a little confused. It's the first time he came to this restaurant to eat today, why did Ye Hongjian settle all the money for half a year's meal?

In the midst of his doubts, the woman's voice rang out again.

"Childe is really a blessing, your lady almost ran all over the Henghuang City in order to find a restaurant that suits your appetite, only to find me, since then every day to buy all kinds of meals from me to bring back, with such a lady, Childe is afraid that it is a blessing from the previous life..."

The old woman said with a flattering face, but she didn't pay attention to Xu Han's sudden realization on his face, and the blush that suddenly rose on Ye Hongjian's cheeks like a falling gorge...
