“......”

Moment.

Shi Xiaofei and Lu Shaoyang both followed the prestige as if they were facing a great enemy, and even saw a slender figure in the attic opposite.

"It turned out to be you. ”

The other party looked at them with a smile, and finally his eyes gradually fell on Shi Xiaofei's body.

"You know me?"

After feeling the other party's gaze, Shi Xiaofei couldn't help but tense up.

"Perhaps, we should find a place to talk. The other party said with a smile. "Of course, you can choose to say no. ”

After speaking.

It is convenient to jump off the attic and walk leisurely in the empty streets.

"Brother Lu. ”

Shi Xiaofei subconsciously looked at Lu Shaoyang, and the meaning of his eyes was self-evident.

To follow, or not to follow.

Lu Shaoyang stared at the other party's back with a solemn expression, and finally nodded.

Because.

He didn't feel malice from the other party.

If the other party intended to be unfavorable to them, the other party would not have taken the initiative to greet them at all.

Moment.

The two followed each other to a solemn and grand deep mansion compound.

"You made a wise choice. ”

The pavilion in the courtyard is surrounded by braziers burning with charcoals, and inside the pavilion there is a round stone table on which various refreshments have been prepared.

After the other party stretched out his hand and motioned for Shi Xiaofei and Lu Shaoyang to sit down, he slowly handed them the brewed tea separately.

"I forgot to introduce myself, in Xia Chen Yuan, the second son of the Duke of Wei. ”

Chen Yuan said with a smile in a light manner.

"Huh?"

Shi Xiaofei was stunned for a moment, and looked at the handsome young man in front of him in disbelief.

“...... In the Lower Valley of Flowers Lu Shaoyang. ”

Lu Shaoyang responded calmly.

"You don't have to, I said, I know you. ”

Chen Yuan bowed slightly towards Lu Shaoyang, and then raised his hand to stop Shi Xiaofei, who was about to speak.

"How do you know about me?"

Shi Xiaofei looked at this mysterious young man who claimed to be the second son of Wei Guogong with suspicion.

"Heaven Thief, Lord Xia and Sangshui. ”

Chen Yuan said succinctly.

"I don't know what Gongzi Chen is doing when he invites my two brothers this time?"

Lu Shaoyang didn't dare to relax for a moment.

"Cooperation. ”

Chen Yuan said directly.

"Cooperation?"

Lu Shaoyang frowned.

"I know you're tracking down the Demon Sect, and it seems that you're still planning to go to the capital now, but ......," Chen Yuan gently took a sip of the steaming tea from the cup. "If you rush into the capital like this, I'm afraid you won't be far from death. ”

"Dare to ask Chen Gongzi what he means by this?"

Lu Shaoyang's eyelids jumped.

"The power of the Demon Sect in the capital is beyond your imagination, maybe as soon as you step into the capital on the front foot, the Demon Sect on the back foot will be able to grasp your movements. ”

Chen Yuan said unhurriedly.

“...... I wonder how Chen Gongzi knew this?"

Lu Shaoyang pondered for a moment.

"Because I'm from the Demon Sect. ”

Chen Yuan wrote lightly.

"What?!"

Shi Xiaofei almost jumped up from the stone bench when he heard this.

"Dumbo calmed down. ”

Seeing this, Lu Shaoyang immediately stretched out his hand and pressed Shi Xiaofei's shoulder, while staring at Chen Yuandao with burning eyes.

"Chen Gongzi, are you sure you're not joking with our two brothers?"

"Do you think I'm joking with you?"

Chen Yuan said with a flat expression.

"But I don't feel like Gongzi Chen is an ordinary person from the Demon Sect. ”

Lu Shaoyang said in a deep voice.

"Hehe, there is something unusual about the people of the Demon Sect. Chen Yuan said disapprovingly. "If you want, you can also become a member of the Demon Sect. ”

"In this way, Chen Gongzi took the initiative to join the Demon Sect?"

Lu Shaoyang's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Yes. ”

Chen Yuan did not deny it, and still calmly took a sip of tea.

"Why?" Shi Xiaofei suddenly asked. "Why do you want to join the Demon Sect?!"

"For example, there are countless people who have taken refuge in the Demon Sect today, some of them are forced to threaten, some of them are pursuing fame and fortune, and some of them are trying to protect themselves...... As for me, I just want to protect my family. ”

Chen Yuan replied in a nonchalant tone.

"This is the reason why you defected to the Demon Sect? As the son of the dignified Duke of Wei, don't you believe that the imperial court and your father have the ability to protect your family?"

Shi Xiaofei frowned.

"If it weren't for Lord Xia's protection, do you think Star Picking Tower can protect your safety?"

Chen Yuan said with a meaningful smile.

“...... I see, I wonder how Gongzi Chen plans to cooperate with us?"

Lu Shaoyang's eyes flickered, and he directly clenched his fists and asked.

"I will help you as much as I can, at least not so that you will not even die. ”

Chen Yuan chuckled.

"Then what can we do for Chen Gongzi?"

Lu Shaoyang said with a solemn expression.

"You?" Chen Yuan said with a smile even more. "No need, your promise to cooperate with me is already the greatest help to me. ”

"Brother Lu, what did that Chen Gongzi mean by that sentence before?"

After saying goodbye to Chen Yuan and leaving.

On the road.

Shi Xiaofei finally couldn't help but ask Lu Shaoyang, who was still contemplative.

"Xiaofei, do you think he really wants to cooperate with us?"

Lu Shaoyang came back to his senses and sighed lightly.

"What do you mean? Could it be that Chen Gongzi is teasing us?"

Shi Xiaofei said in surprise.

"No, from beginning to end, the person he really wanted to work with was not us, but the senior behind us. ”

Lu Shaoyang patiently explained.

"......" Shi Xiaofei suddenly fell silent when he heard this. "I see, too, maybe we are just an insignificant little person in the eyes of the other party. ”

"Xiaofei doesn't have to be depressed, isn't it our luck that we can have our predecessors to rely on?" Lu Shaoyang said with relief.

"For example, that Chen Gongzi, he wants to protect his family, but he is not as lucky as us, and now he can only devote himself to the Demon Sect......"

"Brother Lu, do you mean that Chen Gongzi didn't really want to join the Demon Sect, but made this choice out of necessity?"

Shi Xiaofei can get through at one point.

"He'd already hinted at it very clearly. Lu Shaoyang exclaimed. He can't trust the imperial court, or even his father Wei Guogong, so he chose to take refuge in the Demon Sect, perhaps in his opinion, only by taking refuge in the Demon Sect can he protect his family. ”

In fact, there is another point he did not say explicitly.

Whenever the world changes greatly, in order to preserve the survival of the family, these families often do not pin their hopes on one side, but choose to bet on multiple parties.

No matter who wins or loses, there will always be one side that will survive safely in the end.

Therefore, Lu Shaoyang was curious about whether Chen Yuan's defection to the Demon Sect was Wei Guogong's intention or his own intention.

If it's the latter.

The situation is a bit more delicate.

"Little grandfather, you said you saw the second son?!"

Post.

Before the people of Zhenwu Division arrived, the mysterious people who raided the post station had already evacuated in advance.

When Chen Ji returned to the post station under the escort of Zhen Wusi, it didn't take long for him and Guo Lao to gather in a room, surrounded by Xuan-robed armor guards, refusing anyone who dared to approach the room.

After hearing about the situation after Chen Ji escaped, Guo Laodu couldn't help but fall into shock.

"Yes, I think the attack on the post station should have been planned by the second brother. ”

Chen Ji's mood was a little low.

"If it weren't for the people of Zhenwu Si who arrived in time, maybe I would have died in the hands of my second brother. ”

“...... Little grandfather, did the second son tell you something?"

Guo Lao was silent for a moment and said.

"Nope. ”

Chen Ji shook his head and said.

He lied.

But it's not that he can't trust Guo Lao.

It's that some of the things that the second brother said are not suitable to tell Guo Lao now.

Especially the sentence that the second brother said before leaving, be careful of your father!

This undoubtedly stirred up huge waves in his heart.

Be careful father.

Why should you be careful of your father?

The death of the eldest brother, is there another hidden meaning in what the second brother did?

All this made Chen Ji's heart numb.

"Little grandfather, the old man won't disturb your rest. ”

Guo Lao quietly observed Chen Ji and then gave up.

Leave the yard.

A black-faced man seemed to have been waiting for a long time, and even when he came forward.

"Old Guo, how is the situation with the little grandfather?"

"It's not a big deal, it's just a little frightened. ”

Guo Lao said casually, and then walked to a remote and uninhabited place intentionally or unintentionally, and the black-faced man immediately followed.

"Ah Kang, have you found out who attacked the inn?"

When Guo Lao stopped, his face sank instantly.

"No, the attackers are very cunning, they seem to attack the station with great fanfare, but in reality they do not pose a real threat, it is more like they are constantly fighting us with ...... bluff"

The black-faced man said with a solemn expression.

"Because their purpose is to distract us from the ...... of the little grandfather," Guo Lao snorted coldly. "Do you know? After the little grandfather escaped from the post station, he met the second son. ”

"......What?

The black-faced man looked horrified.

"That's right, all of this is the handiwork of the second son. Guo Lao nodded. "But the old man is strange, if the second son wants to kill the little grandfather, why should he be so troublesome. ”

"Didn't the little grandfather say anything over there?"

The black-faced man thought for a moment.

"Nope. Guo Lao said thoughtfully. But the old man suspected that there must have been something intersecting between the little grandfather and the second son, but the little grandfather deliberately hid this. ”

"Do you want to report this matter to your grandfather?"

The black-faced man hesitated.

"No need, after all, this is a family matter of my grandfather's family, and it is not our turn to dictate as retainers. ”

Guo Lao said decisively.

......

"The capital?"

Thousands of miles away from Xie Mansion.

Xia Fan was lying on the rocking chair in the courtyard, thinking about the problem, while pinching the sword fingers in his hand, absentmindedly remotely controlling a dozen or so flying swords to continuously attack Xie Linyuan, who was embarrassed in the center of the field.

Not long ago, he received a secret letter from Liu Hongsleeve.

He Shigu, who was guarding in Nanjun, suddenly and secretly left for Wanyang, and then there was no news.

She was skeptical.

He Shigu is suspected of secretly returning to the capital.

Because according to the information from the capital, since the New Year, the Shenmu Army and the Jinmu Division stationed in various parts of Gyeonggi have had secret personnel transfers, and the final place of transfer is the capital.

But the specific reason for the transfer is still slowly being investigated.

Qiang –

This was accompanied by a violent metal crash.

Xia Fan suddenly dispersed his sword fingers, and the flying swords that were originally besieging Xie Linyuan all lost control and fell to the ground.

The reason he stopped was simple.

Xie Linyuan's sword was knocked out of his hand.

"Thank you seniors for your advice. ”

Xie Linyuan, who was sweating profusely, gasped, and his hands towards Xia Fan trembled slightly.

"It's okay, it's been half an hour longer than last time, let's go down and get some rest. ”

Xia Fan waved his hand disapplauded.

"Yes!"

Xie Linyuan retired without saying a word.

After this time of getting along.

He knew that Xia Fan's predecessors didn't like to be disturbed the most when they were thinking about problems, and in order to avoid causing Xia Fan to feel unhappy, he became very interested.

For Xie Linyuan's guidance.

In the past, when he was stalking himself and apprenticed, Xia Fan once said that Xie Linyuan couldn't learn what he knew.

He didn't fool the other party about this.

It's like the difference between a player and an NPC in a game.

Isn't it just a matter of clicking the mouse for players to learn skills, and as for the principle of skills, the devil knows!

What's more, what's the use of knowing it? Can you learn it in reality?

It's normal for NPCs to teach players skills, but wouldn't it be funny to ask players to teach NPC skills?

Again.

Players to improve their strength is to brush the liver, liver, liver.

What about NPCs?

Unless the version is changed, the strength of the NPC basically has not changed, and if the NPC dares to show the blood bar, the player will be hacked to death in minutes.

However, since Xia Fan agreed to give advice, Xie Linyuan is not good at breaking his word and getting fat.

The way he instructed was very simple and crude.

First start to dredge your lower meridians, and then obediently accept the beating.

As long as you can't die, you will fight to the death.

It's like throwing a stubborn bronze into the king's bureau and being abused by sparring partners every day, and when you abuse too much, your strength will naturally come up.

Maybe the stubborn bronze doesn't feel it, and it will be different when he returns to the bronze bureau.

It just so happened that he learned the Xie family's "Amazing Sword Battle" again, and every time before pointing, he would ask Xie Linyuan if there was anything he didn't understand, and he would explain the principle plainly and straightforwardly if he understood, and let him understand what he didn't understand.

How to enlighten?

Get beaten!

How do you say that? Learn to grow in the midst of being beaten?

Anyway, Xie Linyuan was quite effective after being beaten during this period of time.

For example, his original combat strength was only ten, but now he has at least twelve.

But that's what happened.

If he doesn't reach the grandmaster, he can only bully and bully ordinary martial artists of the same realm, and as soon as he meets the grandmaster, he will be completely blinded, and no matter how much he practices, it will be useless.

No way.

Who will crush the hard power?

Don't look at Xia Fan's often half-hearted when he points him out, the problem is that he can't be serious at all, if he is a little more serious, Xie Linyuan will hit the street on the spot.

But then again.

He didn't know that until then.

Xie Linyuan, this guy actually has twelve concubines.

It is said that these concubines were arranged for him by her mother, and their appearance is quite good, the key is that the body type is the kind of easy to raise.

Actually, it's normal to think about it.

If Xie Linyuan wants to revitalize the Divine Sword Villa, one of the important tasks is to pass on the ancestry.

It's just that this guy seems to be infertile, and none of the twelve concubines have been conceived so far.

For this.

Shi Yanqiu also asked for his help to check Xie Linyuan's physical condition.

However, after Xia Fan's examination, he found that Xie Linyuan's body had no hidden disease at all.

However, after asking Shi Yanqiu about some things, he probably understood what was going on.

There is something wrong with "Amazing Sword Showdown".

This does not mean that "Shocking Sword Due" was tampered with, but that there is a problem with the internal strength of "Shocking Sword Dueling".
