Gu Xiqiao has no enmity with Xia Fan.

But again, there is no friendship.

He respects Xia Fan, and more respects his identity.

If it weren't for that, he would definitely have a different attitude towards Xia Fan.

Just like when I met Lu Shaoyang in the inn that day, I was simple and polite, and then there was no intersection.

It was an accident to meet Xia Fan in Wanyang.

At first, he thought that the other party was really just stopping by to ask Su Yunxiao for a question.

It's a pity that he didn't expect that the people of Zhenwu Division would make extraneous branches, and they actually dragged him to the camp of the imperial court.

Although Gu Xiqiao rarely asks about temples and rivers and lakes.

The problem is, how could he, who was born in a famous family, not understand the relationship between the imperial court and the major sects.

Don't look at the Huanhua Sword Pavilion has always adhered to a neutral attitude of ignoring it, but this is because the situation is still under control, once the situation gets out of control, it will inevitably drag the Sword Pavilion into this pool of troubled waters.

After all, the major sects have a tacit understanding of watching and helping each other.

It often involves a hair and moves the whole body.

If there is no Xia Fan.

No matter who wins or loses in this war between the Bitter Rescue Army and the Imperial Court, each side will swallow the bitter fruit and come back.

But this time, the imperial court's behavior of attracting Xia Fan and an outsider to participate in the war obviously crossed the line.

In a nutshell.

The imperial court wanted to expand the state of war between them.

It's like everyone put the carriage and the horse and said that they were going heads-up, but you actually pulled foreign aid?

Since you can pull foreign aid, can't I?

A good heads-up will eventually turn into a group fight.

Originally, Gu Xiqiao was equivalent to a person who made up a number of cheers, but once the situation got out of control, he would be forced to do it.

Standing in the position of the Huanhua Sword Pavilion, this is definitely something that Gu Xiqiao does not want to see.

The fact that he didn't discuss with Su Yunxiao and took the initiative to attack Leng Yan was enough to explain everything.

The two are not at all people in the same boat.

But he failed.

He underestimated the cold smoke and overestimated himself.

So far.

Leng Yan must have completed the task of winning over Xia Fan, even if he makes another move on her, it will be useless.

So—

He had only one way to go.

That is to "invite" Xia Fan to leave Wanyang to avoid letting the situation get completely out of control.

He still had no intention of discussing with Su Yunxiao.

Because he knew that Su Yunxiao and the Rescue Army were just chess pieces sandwiched between the imperial court and the major sects.

And the chess pieces have no right to decide their own fate.

"The junior Gu Xiqiao has seen Zhongli's senior. ”

Zhong Liyuan is a reckless person.

He is a little similar to Xia Fan.

They don't have the frame of a grandmaster, and they laugh and scold according to their mood.

Zhong Liyuan was thin and unattractive, and he also had a messy gray beard, and he carried an extremely ordinary long sword on his back all year round.

Judging from his appearance alone, it is estimated that few people in the rivers and lakes will regard him as a hidden grandmaster, more like a down-and-out wanderer.

When Su Yunxiao and Su Yanfu held a banquet to entertain Zhong Liyuan, Zhong Liyuan was all about the wine and food on the table, and he looked like a homeless person who hadn't eaten for a few days.

In his words.

It had been days since he had eaten such a delicious and hearty meal.

on the table.

Gu Xiqiao has always maintained the basic smile etiquette.

Until the banquet dispersed, Zhong Liyuan and Su Yanfu returned to the room after talking about the old days.

He quietly came to visit.

"Xiaoxi Bridge, is there anything wrong with the old man so late?"

in the room.

Zhong Liyuan sat straight at the table with his waist straight, and took a sip of tea casually.

Gu Xiqiao did not beat around the bush, and directly explained his intentions.

"The old man knows about this. ”

However, Zhong Liyuan only bowed his head slightly after hearing this, and did not say anything else.

"Then the junior won't disturb Zhongli's senior's rest. ”

Gu Xiqiao sighed lightly and retreated.

Meaning, he has brought.

As for whether Zhong Liyuan would make a move, this was something he couldn't force.

"Runfu, do you need me to help you solve this hidden danger?"

Not long after Gu Xiqiao left, Zhong Liyuan tilted his head and said in the direction of the screen.

"No need, there will be people from the Cloud Hall in this matter. ”

Su Yanfu slowly walked out from behind the screen with a cold face.

"It seems that this little guy Gu Xiqiao and you are not of the same mind. Zhong Liyuan smiled disappreciatively.

"He has his concerns, we have our thoughts. Su Yanfu sat opposite Zhong Liyuan and said in a deep voice. "From the beginning, we weren't in the same boat. ”

"Say something nasty, you shouldn't have come back. Zhong Liyuan shook his head and said.

"I have concerns in my heart, so I can't be as free and easy as you in this life. Su Yanfu sighed. "Yuan Hong's death has made me feel deeply guilty, and now Yun Xiao has embarked on his father's old path again, how can you let me rest assured?"

"So I'm too lazy to persuade you. Zhong Liyuan said lightly. "After helping you this time, you can do it yourself in the future. ”

"I understand. ”

Time.

They didn't say a word to each other.

......

"Childe, this is the candidate rearranged for you by the division. ”

Following.

Leng Yan visited Xia Fan again, and at the same time brought him Siri's reply.

"Su Yanfu?"

After receiving the document materials handed over by Leng Yan, Xia Fan, who glanced at them casually, was suddenly slightly surprised.

Because what Zhen Wusi wanted him to deal with was actually Su Yunxiao's uncle.

It is stated in the document.

This Su Runfu is Su Yuanhong's cousin, the two have had a deep relationship since childhood, and later Su Runfu went out to roam the rivers and lakes and was suspected of encountering a master's appreciation, and there has been no news for more than ten years.

It wasn't until Su Yuanhong was defeated and died, and when the Zhenwu Division wantonly took Su Yuanhong's family, Su Yanfu suddenly appeared and rescued Su Yuanhong's children Su Yunxiao and Su Yunyun.

With the help of Su Yunfu, Su Yunxiao successfully integrated the disintegrating relief army, and Zhenwusi had planned to assassinate Su Yunxiao several times, but they were all defeated by Su Yunfu.

At this time, the imperial court realized that Su Yunfu had quietly been promoted to the realm of a grandmaster in the years of his disappearance.

There is a Grandmaster close protection.

Zhen Wuji naturally gave up the senseless assassination.

The problem is that Su Yunxiao is the backbone of the Relief Army, as long as he does not get rid of it for a day, the Rescue Army will always have a chance to resurrect.

Therefore, the imperial court will attack Wanyang this time, and it will inevitably be impossible to let Su Yunxiao go.

But if you want to kill Su Yunxiao, you must first solve Su Yunfu.

This task was originally given to the grandmaster of the Zhenwu Division, but Xia Fan didn't want to be an enemy of the people of the Cloud Palace, so the Zhenwu Division could only transfer this task to him.

"Do you really feel comfortable entrusting me with this difficult task?"

The scroll held by Xia Fan's fingers looked at the cold flue with a smile.

"Of course. "Cold smoke and smile like a flower road. "Because the slave family believes that Childe will not disappoint us. ”
