Xia Fan has always been a man who does what he says.

This time.

He didn't say anything.

Whatever his purpose.

He has eaten the Soul Forgetting Sect, and the Demon Sect can't keep it.

He said.

Simply packed a few things.

Xia Fan left the inn directly and swaggered all the way to the north gate of Wanyang.

Facing the north gate where heavy troops are gathered and garrisoned.

But he turned a blind eye.

Along the way, there were brave and distressed soldiers who tried to stop them.

With just one look, everyone stiffened on the spot and couldn't move.

Gradually.

The movement caused by Xia Fan attracted more and more rescue troops who rushed to the rescue.

Apparently.

He walked too fast, too quickly.

This caught Su Yunxiao off guard, and he didn't have time to react for a while.

"Senior, please be merciful. ”

Fortunately, Gu Xiqiao was still staying at the north gate.

When he learns that a mysterious young man has entered a no-man's land and forced his way through the north gate.

A familiar figure instantly appeared in Gu Xiqiao's mind.

Therefore.

He arrived as soon as he could.

Sure enough, I found that the person who came was Xia Fan.

"Xiao Gu, why are you here here?"

Xia Fan looked at the Gu Xi Bridge in front of him surrounded by many relief troops, and he was covered in blood and unkempt, and he completely lost the demeanor of a handsome son in the past.

"Seniors, since the juniors have defected to the leader of Su, they naturally have the responsibility to bear the obligation of defending the city. ”

Gu Xiqiao saluted respectfully towards Xia Fan with a bitter face.

Because he has always been on the front line.

Su Yunxiao seems to have sent no one to inform him of the changes in the rear in order to stabilize the morale and situation of the army.

Other words.

Gu Xiqiao didn't know that Xuan Zhenzi and Xuan Yangzi were dead.

I didn't know that Xia Fan was a great master.

It's as if he has become a forgotten tool man.

It is estimated that when he knows all the truth, the whole person will be confused.

"Yes, after the baptism of war, your current appearance is much more pleasing to the eye. ”

In the past, Gu Xiqiao gave Xia Fan the impression of being like a little fresh meat in a costume TV series.

But now Gu Xiqiao is full of a bit of iron-blooded tough guy flavor.

This couldn't help but make Xia Fan a little impressed.

"Senior, please forgive the younger generation for daring to ask, why did you force your way into the north gate for no reason this time, could it be that you were instructed by the imperial court?"

Gu Xiqiao ignored Xia Fan's ridicule, but asked with a solemn attitude.

"Do you think the imperial court can control me?" Xia Fan said lightly. "Actually, I'm just out of the city. ”

"......," Gu Xiqiao said in disbelief. "Senior, if you just want to go out of the city, why make such a big fuss?"

"Because the louder the movement, the easier it is to attract attention. ”

Xia Fan said meaningfully.

Originally, he was deliberately making a big fuss for the Forgotten Soul Sect to see.

"Senior......" Gu Xiqiao wanted to speak and stopped, and finally sighed helplessly. "If the seniors don't mind, the juniors are willing to take you out of town in person. ”

"Okay!"

Xia Fan didn't care.

Anyway, his purpose has been achieved.

"I won't embarrass you, so you don't have to open the city gates, just take me up to the city wall. ”

"This ......," Gu Xiqiao subconsciously frowned.

"Can't you?"

Xia Fan said in a calm tone.

"Yes, the seniors will come with the juniors!"

Gu Xiqiao gritted his teeth and gave the people around him a look.

Soon.

The soldiers who surrounded Xia Fan were like the tide receding.

Gu Xiqiao retreated from everyone and led Xia Fan towards the city wall alone.

He clearly slowed down on purpose.

On the way, there was a wordless attempt to divert Xia Fan's attention.

"Xiao Gu, you don't have to go out of your way to stall for time. ”

How did Xia Fan not know that little Jiujiu of Gu Xiqiao.

When they climbed the city walls with each other.

Xia Fan stretched his waist lazily, and looked at the imperial army road stationed in the distance with clear barriers.

"I'm sorry seniors, after all, it's the responsibility of juniors. ”

Gu Xiqiao was not embarrassed to be exposed.

"They won't be here for a while, and besides, it's useless for them to come. ”

Xia Fan opened his arms to expand his chest again, and lungeed to press his legs, just like going back to his student days doing radio gymnastics.

"......," Gu Xiqiao said in silence for a moment. "Senior, junior advises you to leave Wanyang as soon as possible, otherwise when they come, it will not be easy for you to leave. ”

"Are you kid taking my words on deaf ears?"

Xia Fan pursed his lips and continued his stretching exercises.

"Senior, didn't the Zhenwu Division tell you who the enemy of the imperial court was this time?"

Gu Xiqiao couldn't help but say bitterly.

"I know, Cloud Palace, but they're all dead. ”

Xia Fan, who connected the finishing movement, said perfunctory casually.

“？”

Gu Xiqiao was stunned when he heard this, and the corners of his eyes suddenly twitched.

"What are you talking about?"

"Xuan Zhenzi and Xuan Yangzi are dead. ”

Xia Fan still said casually.

"What?" Gu Xiqiao's eyes widened instantly, full of disbelief. "Senior, aren't you teasing the junior? The two Venerables, Xuan Zhenzi and Xuan Yangzi, are really dead?"

"So you don't know anything?"

Xia Fan glanced at him, but he didn't bother to explain to the other party.

Because.

He was ready to go.

"It's been a long time since I've exercised vigorously, and I hope this time the Soul Forgetting Sect won't disappoint Lao Tzu. ”

Xia Fan picked on the spot, twisted his neck left and right and muttered to himself.

“...... Senior, what are you going to do?"

Gu Xiqiao, who instinctively had a bad premonition, suddenly looked at Xia Fandao nervously.

"people. ”

The words fell.

I saw Xia Fan raise his foot and stomp on it suddenly.

In an instant, it turned into a loaded cannonball and flew out, like a white rainbow across the sky, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

on the city walls.

The violent tremors were like a dragon rolling.

Countless soldiers who rescued the suffering stood unsteadily and fell to the ground, and Gu Xiqiao, who was closest to Xia Fan, lost his balance and sat on the ground without any image at once.

He stared blankly at Xia Fan, who disappeared in front of him.

Three words came out of his mouth tremblingly.

"Grand Master ......"

It didn't take long.

Su Yunxiao, Zhong Liyuan and others appeared in the city one after another, and even the imperial army on the opposite side was alarmed, and there were constantly figures surging everywhere in the barracks.

"He's gone. ”

Zhong Liyuan looked into the distance with a distracted gaze.

"But he'll be back. ”

Su Yanfu said with an unusually heavy expression.

"Maybe when he comes back, Wanyang's battle will be over. ”

Zhong Liyuan said disapprehantly.

"I hope so. ”

Su Yanfu sighed and said.

"It's a pity that Lao Tzu can't go away, otherwise Lao Tzu will definitely go to Qizhou to see the true style of the great master. ”

Zhong Liyuan said with regret on his face.

"Zhongli, when is this still the time do you still have the heart to say these words?"

Su Yanfu smiled bitterly.

"You don't understand. ”

Zhong Liyuan shook his head and said.

"Two seniors......"

At this time, Gu Xiqiao, who had come back to his senses, slowly got up from the ground.

He came to Zhong Liyuan and the others, looking at them with an extremely complicated expression.

"Oh, it's the Creek Bridge, thank you. Zhong Liyuan raised his hand and patted Gu Xiqiao's shoulder and said. "If you have anything to say, I'll talk about it later. ”

“...... The juniors got it. ”

Gu Xiqiao said gloomily.

"I'll stay, Brother Xiqiao will go back to rest with Zhongli senior for the time being. ”

Su Yunxiao, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

"The old man also stayed. Su Yanfu said immediately.

"Please forgive Yun Xiao for having military affairs in front of him, and he retired first. ”

Su Yunxiao nodded, arched his hand towards Zhong Liyuan and them, and then turned around and began to inspect the city wall with Su Yanfu to pacify the soldiers.

"Alas......"

Zhong Liyuan stared at Su Yunxiao's departing back, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Creek Bridge, we're going. ”

Meanwhile.

Xia Fan's movement in Wanyang naturally did not hide the cold smoke.

She was at a loss now.

Because she didn't know why Xia Fan suddenly made the decision to leave Wanyang.

Especially when he gave himself a special task not long ago, he turned around and disappeared.

"Haven't you heard any news from the government office?"

In a nondescript house.

Distraught, the cold smoke walked out of the room and came alone to a gazebo in a courtyard.

Long.

She suddenly spoke with a blank face.

"There's just news over there. ”

An unattractive handmaiden slowly appeared in front of her.

Say. ”

Cold smoke said in a deep voice.

"Childe went to Sanpengling, Qizhou. ”

The maidservant said succinctly.

"He's going to ......"

Hearing this, Leng Yan stood up from the pavilion abruptly.

"Soul Forgetting Sect. ”

The maidservant said softly.

“...... I see. ”

Leng Yan suddenly muttered thoughtfully to himself.

"Your Excellency, don't forget that there is still news waiting for you outside the city. ”

The maidservant reminded at the right time.

"I'll write it myself. Leng Yan said indifferently. "As for the things I explain to you, there must not be the slightest slackness! Otherwise, don't blame me for asking you questions!"

"Yes, sir. ”

The maidservant hurriedly said.

"Let's go down. ”

Leng Yan waved his hand casually.

When the handmaid is gone.

Leaving a cold smoke, he looked at the rockery in front of him with deep eyes.

"Who!"

Suddenly.

Leng Yan shook his hand, and the slender straight needles glowing with cold light flew towards a certain wall.

"Hehe, Sister Leng Yan is really perceptive. ”

A crisp silver bell sounded mischievously.

"You ......"

The cold smoke is like frost and follows the prestige.

Then I saw a delicate figure sitting on the eaves not far away, and her two little legs were constantly swaying back and forth.

However, the other party was covered with a black veil and couldn't see his true face, only revealing a pair of clear and clear eyes.

"Sister, you might as well guess. ”

The girl's laughter was clear, and her eyes narrowed into the shape of a beautiful crescent moon.

"Ning Duo?"

Leng Yan stared at the other party coldly.

"It's worthy of Sister Lengyan, I guessed right all of a sudden. ”

The girl gently patted the white and tender soft wattles, pretending to be surprised.

"I didn't expect you to dare to take the initiative to appear in front of me. ”

The cold smoke said silently.

Several silver needles slipped out of his hand quietly.

"Isn't my sister looking for Duo'er, why is my sister unhappy now that Duo'er is here?" the girl tilted her little head in confusion.

"He's also looking for you, why don't you dare to show up in front of him?"

Leng Yan couldn't help but sneer.

"Sister, who said that Duo'er didn't show up in front of him? It's just that the old guy was too slow to find Duo'er all the time. ”

The girl snorted triumphantly.

"Sister, let me tell you, that old guy is a sanctimonious embryo, but Duo'er has seen him flirt with the woman in the thrush boat......"

Phew-

Didn't wait for the girl to finish.

A few silver needles shot at the eaves.

Pity.

The girl had already expected it, and with a casual flick of her light long sleeves, she flew the silver needle roll that shot out of nowhere.

"Why did my sister suddenly get angry......?

The girl casually covered her mouth and chuckled.

"Don't you know what happens if you offend a great grandmaster?"

Leng Yan's tone said without a trace of emotion.

"But how did Duo'er know that old guy was a great grandmaster in the first place. The girl said aggrievedly. "So it's okay for my sister to help my sister intercede?" Duo'er promised not to upset him again in the future. ”

"By now, it's too late for you to say anything. ”

Maybe he thought of something, and the corners of Leng Yan's mouth rose slightly.

"Are you Soul Forgetting Sect ready to bear the price of a great grandmaster's wrath?"

"Isn't it true that my sister can't help Duo'er?" the girl suddenly burst into tears. "Otherwise, Duo'er will have no home in the future. ”

"Ning Duo, why are you pretending in front of me?" Leng Yan said with disdain. "Tell me what you mean! I know you're not here to intercede with me. ”

"Sister wants to know where Duan Zongbi is now?"

Ning Duo said with a smile instantly.

"You really did something to Lord Duan Zongbi!"

Cold smoke's pupils shrank.

"No, oh sister. The girl smiled even more. "Actually, Duan Zongbi has always been Duan Zongbi. ”

"What did you say?"

The cold smoke was stunned.

"Because, from beginning to end, Duan Zongbi is a member of the Soul Forgetting Sect~" The girl joked. "Otherwise, does my sister think that an ordinary person can be promoted to the realm of a grandmaster in just twenty years?"

“...... How dare you sow discord in front of me?"

Leng Yan quickly calmed down and sneered.

"If my sister doesn't believe it, Do'er can't help it. The girl said disapprerovingly.

"Where is the real Lord Duan Zongbi now?" said Leng Yan, staring at the girl.

"Dolly can only remind you...... He was right next to Su Yunxiao. ”

After speaking.

Ning Duo's figure quietly disappeared into the eaves.

From the two shots just now, I tried to do it.

Leng Yan knew that the other party was not weaker than herself, and since the other party was sure to find her, there was bound to be a way to escape from her palm.

It's just—

What did she mean?

Leng Yan didn't believe that she was deliberately trying to tell the truth.

But Lord Duan Zongbi has been a mystery since his mysterious disappearance.

Could it really be as she said, Lord Duan Zongbi would be a member of the Soul Forgetting Sect?

Wrong.

She deliberately said this, undoubtedly leading me to doubt Lord Duan Zongbi.

Nevertheless.

But Leng Yan still couldn't help but think of what she said.

Especially when she finally pointed the finger at Su Yunxiao, does this mean that Su Yunxiao did collude with the Soul Forgetting Sect?

Sure enough, it's a cunning little fox.

It's no wonder that the Great Grandmaster let her easily play with the applause, but this time she undoubtedly lifted a stone to shoot herself in the foot.

Leng Yan thought to himself.
