"Kill!"

Wanyang City Head.

Dull shouts and short roars resounded in the sky.

The dense rain of arrows was overwhelming like locusts crossing the border, and the golden juice was pouring down like a shower.

Hideous faces, blood-stained swords and guns, the entire city wall was shrouded in a bloody and tragic fighting atmosphere, every time a warrior wearing a black suit climbed the battlement, there would be countless blade-wielding soldiers swarming in an instant.

Someone keeps falling, someone keeps rushing to kill.

Even though corpses are strewn all over the field, rivers of blood flow.

The soldiers who could save the suffering army were still frantically blocking the fierce attack of the Shenwu Army with their flesh and blood.

Above the castle tower.

Su Yunxiao took the lead in fighting on the front line, which undoubtedly greatly boosted the morale of the rescue army.

"Leader Su, the Shenwu Army has retreated!"

At this time, Gu Xiqiao, who was clustered around Su Yunxiao, suddenly found that after they had struggled to repel another round of fierce attacks by the Shenwu Army, the Shenwu Army did not send troops to attack again, and even the Shenwu Army that rushed to the root of the wall and under the moat began to evacuate quickly.

Seeing this, Gu Xiqiao, who was covered in blood, couldn't help but feel relieved.

"I guess it's the other side that has won and lost. ”

Su Yunxiao stood expressionlessly under the big curtain of hunting in the wind.

He slowly raised the long blade in his hand.

He screamed with all his might.

"Wan Sheng!"

The next moment.

"Wan Sheng!"

The entire Wanyang city wall resounded one after another with an impassioned and cathartic roar.

It didn't take long.

Zhong Liyuan, Su Yanfu and Xuanyangzi coincidentally appeared on the top of the city tower.

"Thank you. ”

When Su Yunxiao saw them, he immediately said solemnly.

"If there is nothing else important, the old man will go back first. ”

Zhong Liyuan waved his hand disapprovingly, turned around and prepared to leave.

"Qingchen, we'll go back too. ”

Xuanyangzi glanced at Zhang Qingchen beside Su Yunxiao with an indifferent expression, and then left the city tower as well.

"Fifth Uncle, what is the situation now?"

After Su Yunxiao respectfully sent them away, he immediately said to Su Yunfu with a solemn face.

"We teamed up to seriously injure Duan Zongbi. Su Yanfu did not have any scruples about Gu Xiqiao, who had not yet left, and explained concisely. "In a short period of time, it is estimated that the imperial court will not rashly attack Wanyang again. ”

"Duan Zongbi is actually seriously injured?"

Su Yunxiao couldn't help muttering.

Of course he knew who Duan Zongbi was.

Because he is one of the three major divisions who lead the Zhenwu Division, and he is also a famous grandmaster.

And that's not all.

Duan Zongbi was born in the Shenwu Army and won the trust of the royal family of the current dynasty.

It is rumored that Duan Zongbi will be transferred to the Zhenwu Division as the chief secretary, and it is completely at the behest of the royal family to secretly supervise the Zhenwu Division.

After all, no ruler would allow an institution like the Zhenwu Division to escape his control.

"The person who seriously injured Duan Zongbi was Xuanyangzi. Su Yanfu said without concealment. "At that time, Zhong Liyuan and I dragged out He Shigu and Cao Siji respectively, striving to create an opportunity for Xuanyangzi to seriously injure Duan Zongbi, but unfortunately in the end, we didn't leave Duan Zongbi, and forced He Shigu and Cao Siji to escape with him......"

"Fifth Uncle doesn't have to blame himself, in fact, you can seriously injure Duan Zongbi has already given Yun Xiao a big surprise. ”

Su Yunxiao looked at the army of the Shenwu Army assembled and reorganized in the distance, frowning and pondering.

"It's just that Venerable Xuanyangzi's strength is indeed a bit beyond Yun Xiao's expectations. ”

"In fact, the fifth uncle is the same as you, because the fifth uncle never thought that Duan Zongbi would be powerless in the face of Xuanyangzi. Su Yanfu was quite touched.

"Helpless?" Su Yunxiao said with a look of surprise on his face. "Even if Duan Zongbi is still a grandmaster, how can he not even have the strength to fight back in the face of Xuanyangzi Venerable, who is also a grandmaster?"

"This is where Xuanyangzi is terrible. Su Yanfu said with a solemn face. "In fact, there is not much difference between him and Duan Zongbi's strength, but Xuan Zhenzi can always gain insight into Duan Zongbi's attack intent in advance, so he accidentally seriously injured Duan Zongbi. ”

If Yun Xiao encounters such an enemy, he may also end up in a fiasco. ”

Su Yunxiao said thoughtfully.

"Yun Xiao, you haven't slept for a few days, why don't you take this opportunity to go back and rest. Su Yunfu looked at Su Yunxiao, whose eyes were deep and his face was resolute, and couldn't help but sigh and persuade him.

"Leader Su, you have been thinking hard about how to defend against the enemy in the past few days, and now that the imperial court has lost Duan Zongbi, you will definitely not dare to act rashly, Wanyang's safety is worry-free for the time being, you can also take a break for a while. Gu Xiqiao also took the opportunity to persuade him. "If Leader Su believes in you, you will be here instead of you. ”

"Brother Xiqiao, Yun Xiao has received your kindness, but your injuries have not healed, and it is not easy to hold on until now, how can Yun Xiao rest assured?" Su Yunxiao shook his head and said.

"However, the Relief Army can do without Gu Xiqiao, but it must not do without Leader Su. Gu Xiqiao said solemnly. "If something goes wrong with the leader of Su, we will have no chance of winning this war. ”

“...... Since this is the case, then it will be hard for Brother Xiqiao. ”

Su Yunxiao was silent for a moment, and finally did not stubbornly continue.

He patted Gu Xiqiao's shoulder heavily, and then called the commanders at all levels who were still alive in the rescue army, and after a careful explanation, he dragged his heavy body and Su Yanfu out of the city tower.

When they returned to the government office.

I immediately noticed that the atmosphere in the government office had become extraordinary.

"What's going on in the department?"

Su Yunxiao directly attracted a trembling guard.

"Back to Chief Su, a dead body was found in the backyard of the government office. ”

The guard hurriedly stepped forward and replied truthfully.

"Dead bodies?"

Su Yunxiao's eyes shrank, and he subconsciously glanced at Su Yunfu.

In the blink of an eye.

The two hurried to the backyard.

Immediately, in a patio, I saw Xuanyangzi and others standing in front of a corpse as cold as frost.

"It's ......"

After Su Yunxiao saw the corpse on the ground, he instantly showed a look of disbelief.

Because.

The dead on the ground turned out to be Gen Zhenzi.

"Gen Zhenzi is dead. ”

At this time, Zhong Liyuan's voice sounded in his ears.

"Zhongli, what the hell is going on?"

Su Yanfu, who realized that something was wrong, also said with a shocked face.

"How do I know, anyway, as soon as I returned to the government office with them, I found Xuan Zhenzi's body here. Zhong Liyuan took a sip of the wine jug and said nonchalantly.

"What about the people in the government office, do they know something?" Su Yunxiao said with a gloomy expression.

"They asked. Zhong Liyuan glanced at Xuan Yangzi and Zhang Qingchen and raised his head and gestured. "It's a pity that the people in the government office don't know about it. ”

"How is it possible?!" Su Yunxiao frowned. "You must know that the backyard of the government office is a place of heavy guards, how can they not know what is going on in the backyard?!"

"Because they all fell for Zhu Yushu. ”

Zhang Qingchen, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

"Zhu Youshu?!" Su Yunxiao said with wide eyes.

"Yes. Zhang Qingchen said in an indifferent tone. "Uncle Shi has already checked and confirmed, and all the people you left in the government office have lost a memory. ”

Zhu Yushu.

This is a witchcraft that originated in ancient times and was used to ward off diseases.

And Zhu Youshu has cultivated to an advanced stage, and it is said that he can silently control a person's mind and will.

"More accurately, one of them is Soul Forgetting. ”

Xuanyangzi's face sinks like a waterway.

"Soul Forgetting...... That is to say......"

Su Yanfu's eyelids jumped, and the name of a sect involuntarily appeared in his mind.

"Soul Forgetting Sect. Xuan Yangzi stared at Xuan Zhenzi, who was calm on the ground. "If nothing else, Senior Brother Xuan Zhenzi should have died at the hands of the Forgotten Soul Sect. ”

"Look at Gen Zhenzi's eyebrows. ”

Zhong Liyuan reminded casually.

When Su Yunxiao and Su Yanfu heard this, their eyes gathered at the center of Xuan Zhenzi's eyebrows, and sure enough, they found something strange.

Because they found a faint black spot in the center of Gen Zhenzi's eyebrows.

"Soul Breaker. ”

The well-informed Su Yanfu blurted out his debut.

"This is indeed the Soul Breaker. Xuanyangzi said coldly. "But the death of Senior Brother Xuan Zhenzi is not so simple. ”

"Wait!"

At this time, Su Yunxiao's face changed suddenly, and he disappeared in front of everyone's eyes in an instant.

Long.

He returned to the patio.

"Yunyun is alright, right?"

Su Yanfu hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

As Su Yunxiao's uncle, he naturally knew why Su Yunxiao left in a panic just now.

"It's a false alarm, and it's all right. Su Yunxiao was relieved, and turned his attention back to the death of Xuan Zhenzi. "Regarding the death of Venerable Xuan Zhenzi, Fifth Uncle, have you found anything?"

"Yes. ”

One to the point.

Su Yanfu's face became extremely heavy.

First of all, it can be determined that Gen Zhenzi let the people of the Forgotten Soul Sect kill him without defense.

Secondly, Xuan Zhenzi had confrontations with people elsewhere during his lifetime, and in the end, he was defeated and let people fall heavily in the backyard of the government office.

From Xuan Zhenzi's severely shattered sternum, we can know how hard he was injured at that time, but at that time, Xuan Zhenzi still had a breath and did not die.

As for the enemies that Xuan Zhenzi fought against, they all knew each other.

Xia Fan.

Because when they rushed to Wanyang City to resist the attack of the Shenwu Army, Xuan Zhenzi was the one who was responsible for solving Xia Fan's hidden danger.

Other words.

It is very likely that Xuan Zhenzi died under the joint efforts of Xia Fan and the Forgotten Soul Sect.

Think deeper.

Since Xia Fan is a person who is being wooed by the imperial court, does it mean that the imperial court secretly colluded with the Forgotten Soul Sect?

"Impossible, right?"

After hearing this, Su Yunxiao immediately raised his doubts.

After all, Xia Fan had publicly stated that he agreed to the court's wooing in order to get relevant information about the Forgotten Soul Sect and the Heluo heirs.

It can be seen from this that he should have an enmity with the Forgotten Soul Sect.

"I want to cover it up. ”

But Xuanyangzi obviously trusts his own judgment more.

"If you want to know the truth, why don't you ask him personally?"

Zhong Liyuan, who had finished his last sip of wine, said lazily.

"We have our own opinions on this matter, and we don't need your advice. Xuanyangzi said indifferently. "Qingchen, immediately report the changes that happened in Wanyang back to the palace, and then deal with the corpse of Senior Brother Xuan Zhenzi, Uncle Xuan needs to leave if he has something. ”

After speaking, Xuanyangzi walked straight towards the outside of the government office.

"Zhongli. ”

Seeing this, Su Yanfu quickly gave Zhong Liyuan a look.

"Okay, okay! Lao Tzu knows, I just happen to have something I want to ask that guy about. ”

Zhong Liyuan waved his hand impatiently, and followed in an instant.

Xuan Zhenzi's death will undoubtedly alarm the Cloud Palace.

If Xuanyangzi also died, the consequences would be absolutely unimaginable.

Because, no one can withstand the wrath of the Cloud Palace.

......

Meanwhile.

Xia Fan was in the private room of the Mercy Fragrance Pavilion, bored watching a few girls playing the piano.

Song after song.

The tea on the table was changed three times, but he still didn't wait for the person he was waiting for.

When I was at the inn.

Outside the window, he saw a strange man waving to him.

Not long after going out.

He found the man on a hidden street corner, and after handing him a letter, the man rolled his eyes and passed out in a strange coma.

Xia Fan immediately shook the man awake, but when the man woke up, he asked Xia Fan with a frightened face, what did he want to do, and why was he here?

Three philosophical questions in the face of men.

Xia Fan, who was confused, saw that he didn't seem to be a fake, so he simply let him go.

Soon.

His attention was on the letter that the other party had given him.

It's a familiar letter.

Familiar smell, familiar handwriting.

It's all about it.

The owner of this letter is the same person who left him the letter in Nanxi in the first place.

There was only one sentence on the letter.

Lianxiang Pavilion, the number of private rooms.

And he came as promised.

As a result, the other party did not show up for a long time, and it was suspected that he had released his own pigeons.

But if people don't show up, at least there must be some other expression, right?

Why else did you call me over? Do you want to watch me live?

Are you kidding.

The longer the time dragged on, Xia Fan's patience gradually wore out.

Finally.

After the fifth round of tea was served in the big teapot, Xia Fan took a stack of silver tickets and left the room expressionlessly.

"Childe, please stay. ”

As soon as he reached the lobby, he heard the bustard hurriedly stop him.

"Is there something wrong?"

Xia Fan reacted coldly.

"Childe, someone asked me to give this thing to you. ”

The old bustard quickly handed a small black burden in his hand to Xia Fan.

"Do you remember the person who gave you this?"

Xia Fan took the burden and asked seemingly casually.

"Rong Nu family think about it, it's strange...... Why can't the slave family remember?"

The old bustard suddenly fell into distress and said.

"Alright, it's okay. ”

Again.

Xia Fan frowned slightly, turned around and walked out of the Mercy Fragrance Pavilion.

As soon as he left with his front foot, he heard a somewhat familiar banter on his back foot.

"Tut, you kid doesn't even call me when you go to the Qinglou, it's really not interesting. ”

"Is that you?"

Xia Fan followed the prestige, and even saw Zhong Liyuan lying on the eaves of the street with his hands on his pillow.

"It's me. Zhong Liyuan yawned lazily and gloated. "Boy, you're done, do you know you're in trouble?"

"Woe, do you mean him?"

Xia Fan tilted his head, casually stretched out his hand and pointed to the pestle in front of the street, a middle-aged man with a gloomy face said.

"yes. Zhong Liyuan rolled over and sat on the eaves and said with a smile. "Who told you to kill someone's senior brother? ”

"Murder? I didn't kill anyone. Xia Fan was stunned when he heard this. "It was true that someone from Xuan Zhenzi came to trouble me before, but Lao Tzu ignored him after he was sent flying, but I am sure that that guy is definitely not dead. ”

"He did die. Zhong Liyuan intentionally or unintentionally glanced at the black burden in his hand and said. "And he died under the Soul Forgetting Sect's unique stunt Soul Breaking Finger. ”

"What? Someone dares to snatch my head?" Xia Fan instantly came to his senses. "No, how could someone from the Soul Forgetting Sect suddenly appear and kill Xuan Zhenzi, and what does it have to do with Lao Tzu?"

"Because people now suspect that you have teamed up with the Soul Forgetting Sect to kill Xuan Zhenzi!" Zhong Liyuan said.

"Damn, I don't carry this pot. Xia Fan took a cold breath and said. "Now that Lao Tzu is still looking for the people of the Forgotten Soul Sect, how can he collude with their group of hidden garbage?"

"And what are you holding in your hand?" Zhong Liyuan said as he looked at him with a smirk.

“...... Oh, it's over. ”

Xia Fan suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.

He quickly unwrapped the small black baggage in his hand.

Result –

Baggage found a letter and a strangely shaped jade pendant.

"The old man remembered that the jade pendant seemed to be a token that the Soul Forgetting Sect would carry with him. The sharp-eyed Zhong Liyuan recognized the origin of the jade pendant at a glance, and the smile on his face became even thicker. "Boy, what is written in the letter? Can you read it and listen to it?"

"It's nothing, the general meaning is nothing more than to thank me for cooperating with Yunyun, what I want they have prepared for me somewhere, and when the time comes, you can get it in your hand with the jade pendant as a token. ”

Xia Fan opened the letter and glanced at it casually, and couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"You won't believe such an obvious frame-up, will you?"

"It doesn't matter if I believe it or not, the person who died was not my senior brother anyway. ”

Zhong Liyuan stretched out his hand and pointed to Xuanyangzi on the street.

"Dude, believe me, I'm really innocent. ”

Xia Fan immediately looked at Xuanyangzi on the opposite side with a serious expression.

"Now that everyone has stolen goods, do you still want to quibble?"

Xuanyangzi sneered.

"Forget it, since you all believe that I colluded with the Soul Forgetting Sect, I guess you won't listen to what I say. Xia Fan couldn't help but sigh lightly. "Why don't you give me some time to prove my innocence?"

"Senior Brother Xuan Zhenzi was really injured by you?"

Xuanyangzi stared at Xia Fan and said suddenly.

"yes, I don't deny that. ”

Xia Fan said frankly.

"Okay, then I'll give you three days. ”

After speaking, Xuanyangzi simply turned around and left.

"So easy to talk to?"

This time it was Xia Fan's turn to be shocked.

Originally, he was ready to open the film without saying a word.

"You don't see he's dragging his feet. Zhong Liyuan said in a loud voice. "Since even Xuan Zhenzi is not your opponent, then he is naturally no exception, so he wants to drag you in Wanyang, once someone comes back to the Yunxiao Palace, it means that your death time has also arrived......

Besides, even if you didn't collude with the Forgotten Soul Sect, what if you were injured by Xuan Zhenzi after all, this gave the people of the Forgotten Soul Sect a chance to kill Xuan Zhenzi. Therefore, no matter what, the Cloud Hall will not let you go. ”

"So domineering?" Xia Fan touched his chin and said thoughtfully. "Then should I consider making the first move?"
