Xia Fan is not a god, let alone a god.

It is not for nothing that he claims that Liu Yingying will be in danger if he stays by his side in the future.

How did Xie 13 die back then?

Because he almost ruined the Demon Sect's plan, this is the real reason why he invited the disaster of killing.

The so-called crossing of the realm is more like a disguise, a cover used by the Demon Sect to deceive other sects.

Otherwise, why would it be the Demon Sect that slaughtered the Divine Sword Villa? And the other major sects were all watching the excitement and shouting 666? No matter how bad it was, they would have to send someone to watch, right?

Right now.

Xia Fan seems to have followed the trend of Xie Shisan's old path.

In particular, the more secrets he mastered of the Demon Sect, the more time he had, once he touched the key core of the Demon Sect's layout.

The Demon Sect could no longer sit idly by.

At present, the Demon Sect has not made a move against him for a long time, which is nothing more than that Xia Fan has not posed a substantial threat to the Demon Sect's plan for the time being, and at the same time avoids unnecessary trouble.

Here's the problem.

Wei Anshan's death and Xia Fan's calculations in Wanyang are closely related to the Demon Sect.

He needs a truth, a result.

The Demon Sect doesn't give it.

Naturally, he had to ask for it himself.

As a result, disputes are bound to erupt between the two sides.

He never underestimated the enemy's lower limit.

If the Demon Sect wants to deal with itself, it is difficult to guarantee that it will implicate Liu Yingying.

Although Xia Fan can fight, he can't guarantee that he will be able to protect Liu Yingying's safety at that time, and after considering this, he decided to transfer Liu Yingying away from his side and solve his worries in advance.

He believed that Liu Hongsleeve should be able to understand him.

Don't think he doesn't know.

Liu Yingying must have quietly sent a letter to Liu Hongsleeve about what she had done during this time.

Because this was originally one of Liu Hongsleeve's purposes of sending Liu Yingying to Xia Fan, he would deliberately let Liu Yingying contact Liu Hongsleeve to communicate with Liu Hongsleeve before.

Sure enough.

Liu Yingying finally followed Liu Hongsleeve's advice, presumably Liu Hongsleeve had already sensed something.

As for Xia Fan's choice to stay in Qingsong County for a period of time, he was not just for Xie Linyuan and the Xie family, his real purpose was to divert the attention of the Demon Sect and paralyze the vigilance of the Demon Sect.

Calculate the time.

Shi Xiaofei should have made some moves over there.

After all, this is the little guy he has high hopes for.

"Senior Duan, would anyone really open an inn in such a place?"

Located in the wilderness in the north of Qinzhou, there is a scene of snow as far as the eye can see.

Shi Xiaofei was wearing a thick fur coat, his honest face and nose were slightly red from the cold, he walked in the snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow, feeling the biting cold wind blowing in front of him, and the whole person couldn't help but shiver.

"Of course. Duan Zongbi, who was wearing a hat beside him, said in a deep voice. "This road is the only ancient road in Qinzhou that can bypass the northbound border of Gyeonggi, and although this ancient road is rugged and difficult to navigate, many merchants who go to the northern barbarian trade still choose this ancient road every year. ”

"Why do those businessmen have to take this ancient road instead of taking the smooth official road?

Shi Xiaofei was a little incomprehensible.

"Smuggling. ”

A calm voice answered Shi Xiaofei's doubts.

"Smuggling?!"

Shi Xiaofei subconsciously turned his head to look at Lu Shaoyang, who was half a step behind him.

"Although the Great Jin Dynasty and the Northern Barbarians had trade exchanges, in order to limit the growth of the Northern Barbarians, the successive dynasties would strictly control the flow of important materials into the Northern Barbarians, and Gyeonggi was the most severe place in the entire Great Jin Dynasty. ”

Lu Shaoyang put his hands on his collar and explained.

"Could it be that the imperial court just let it go?"

Shi Xiaofei said strangely.

"How?" Duan Zongbi couldn't help but sneer when he heard this. "At the beginning of the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty, when the national strength was at its peak, it was able to manage it, but after the decline of the national strength of the Great Jin Dynasty, it could no longer suppress the powerful families who were hungry for profit in various places, not to mention that most of these smuggling businessmen had backers behind them, and even some of them involved the ministers and relatives of the emperor and the emperor in the opposition......"

"I see. ”

Shi Xiaofei seems to understand whether he understands or not.

Now the three of them will appear here to find the whereabouts of the Yin Shop.

About this matter.

Shi Xiaofei did not hide Duan Zongbi, in his opinion, Duan Zongbi, who was brutally murdered by the Demon Sect, was undoubtedly on their side, and they all had common enemies.

When Duan Zongbi learned about it, he informed Shi Xiaofei that he knew the whereabouts of the Yin Shop and planned to go with him to find out the situation of the Yin Shop in person.

After all, Duan Zongbi is the leader of the three major divisions of the Zhenwu Division, and there are few things in the world that can be hidden from his ears and eyes.

Lu Shaoyang volunteered to walk with Shi Xiaofei.

Because when Luo Suqing left with the saint Bai Ling'er, his master Qu Hefeng was worried that they would encounter an accident on the way, and finally decided to escort them all the way to southern Xinjiang, and also brought Lu Shaoyang's junior sister Xu Ping'er with him.

Lu Shaoyang originally wanted to follow Qu Hefeng and his junior sister to southern Xinjiang, but the master had other arrangements for him.

This arrangement is to follow Shi Xiaofei closely, on the one hand, to dig out as much information as possible about the Demon Sect, and on the other hand, to wait for an opportunity to have a good relationship with Xia Fan behind Shi Xiaofei.

Qu Hefeng and Lu Shaoyang had a private exchange.

He thought that Shi Xiaofei's actions were instructed by Xia Fan, perhaps because he didn't want to expose himself to attract the attention of the Demon Sect.

For example, if the well-informed people at the bottom today don't know that the Demon Sect had annoyed this great master in Wanyang, it is reasonable that he will go to the trouble of the Demon Sect.

As the plot of the Demon Sect is revealed.

Even Qu Hefeng didn't dare to slack off, but if he wanted to know more about the Demon Sect's schemes, then it was a good choice to follow Shi Xiaofei, who had Xia Fan as his backer.

As for Liu Zhaoyi.

Qu Hefeng was handed over to the people of the Tianshu Pavilion who came later after hearing the news.

The other party is Zhao Qingtong's master.

One of the six deacons of the Heavenly Pavilion.

It is reassuring for people to hand over to each other Qu Hefeng.

For Qu Hefeng, Liu Zhaoyi is a hot potato in the hands of their Hundred Flowers Valley, and if they provoke the retaliation of the Demon Sect, the Hundred Flowers Valley cannot afford it.

"Huh?! There's light ahead!"

I don't know how long I walked in the snow.

After seeing that the sky was about to darken, Shi Xiaofei, who had been silently looking ahead, suddenly brightened his eyes, and keenly noticed a faintly visible orange light swaying at the end of his vision.

"Definitely. ”

Duan Zongbi raised his head and said slowly.

"Orange Light ......"

Lu Shaoyang stared thoughtfully at the blurred lights in the distance.

Not much.

The three of them unconsciously quickened their pace to a mountain dock, and at the same time saw that the fire came from an oil-paper lantern dancing in the wind on a long pole.

"This is not a lantern in the Yin Shop. ”

Shi Xiaofei looked at the lantern on the long pole and said with a little disappointment.

"There seems to be an inn over there. ”

Lu Shaoyang, who was quietly observing the surrounding environment, stretched out his hand and pointed to the depths of the mountain dock.

"Whether it's a yin shop or not, we always have to find a place to rest at night. ”

Duan Zongbi stared at the lighted buildings in the depths of the mountain dock.

"So what are we waiting for?

Shi Xiaofei let out a mouthful of white mist, and immediately walked to the inn in the mountain dock without hesitation.

This is no longer the case.

No matter whether it was a yin shop or a black shop in front of him, he had no fear.

This is due to the self-confidence brought by strength, not to mention that he is still followed by Lu Shaoyang and Duan Zongbi.

As long as they didn't have the bad luck to meet the grandmaster, Shi Xiaofei had the confidence to escape.

After all, running away is his housekeeping skill.

The inn in the mountain dock is a fairly ordinary-looking inn.

Although the lights were on in the inn, the door of the inn was tightly closed.

"How are you?"

Shi Xiaofei cautiously stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"It's coming, it's coming!"

The next moment.

A woman's impatient voice rang out in the room.

Click, click, click

Then a crack opened in the wooden door, revealing a woman's wary face.

"Who are you?"

"We're here to stay!"

Shi Xiaofei deliberately kept a safe distance from the woman.

"Accommodation?!"

The woman's eyes in the crack of the door kept looking at Shi Xiaofei and Duan Zongbi and Lu Shaoyang behind him.

Moment.

She frowned and opened the heavy wooden door.

"Come in. ”

"Thank you, shopkeeper!"

Shi Xiaofei arched his hand towards the woman in front of him, and his eyes casually glanced at the empty lobby before slowly walking in.

"Don't forget to close the door when you come in, lest the wind run in. ”

The woman shook her plump waist and walked to the counter.

"Shopkeeper, come to three rooms, preferably next to each other. ”

Shi Xiaofei walked to the front of the stage.

"Ten taels of silver. ”

The woman said in a lazy tone.

"Ten taels, you're robbing the shopkeeper?"

Shi Xiaofei was stunned when he heard this.

"Twenty taels. ”

The woman picked up a cigarette stick from the stage and put it to her mouth to take a puff, spitting out a pungent white smoke towards Shi Xiaofei.

"Twenty taels?"

Shi Xiaofei's eyes widened, and he waved his hand to disperse the smoke blowing towards him.

"Thirty taels. The woman looked at Shi Xiaofei with a smile. "Little brother, don't bargain with the old lady, if you say a word, the old lady will increase the price once, anyway, you can't live it, if you don't live it, get rid of the old lady!"

"Shopkeeper, is this your attitude to doing business?"

Shi Xiaofei said with a headache.

"Fifty taels. ”

The woman said with a smile.

"Three rooms, some hot tea and hot dishes by the way. ”

At this time.

Lu Shaoyang silently took out a gold ingot and slapped it on the counter.

"Go upstairs and turn left, the first three are empty. ”

The woman picked up the cigarette stick and gently swept the gold on the counter under the stage.

"You sit down in the lobby first, and I'll have someone bring you something to eat in a moment. ”

The words fell.

She shouted into the inner hall of the inn.

"Dead ghost! Done! Eat whatever you want. ”

"Fuck you haven't eaten it yet, why do you still eat it?"

Soon.

A man's swearing voice came from the inner hall.

"There are guests coming. ”

The woman understated.

“...... Give Lao Tzu a quarter of an hour, damn, fortunately, the fire in the stove has not been extinguished. ”

The man in the inner hall was silent for a moment.

"Just pick a seat and sit, don't stand stupidly in front of the old lady. ”

The woman turned her head and looked at Shi Xiaofei and the others in front of her with an unswerving expression.

Shi Xiaofei was about to speak, but Lu Shaoyang patted him on the shoulder and shook his head, Shi Xiaofei, who got the signal, snorted heavily, and sat down with Lu Shaoyang and Duan Zongbi at the table in the middle of the lobby.

"Do you want wine?"

They were seated for a short time.

The woman who was smoking a cigarette leisurely at the counter said.

"Don't!"

Shi Xiaofei didn't have a good airway.

"Don't forget it. "Women don't care. "Remind you, after eating, go back to your room to rest, get out of the house tomorrow morning, and don't go out at night no matter what happens, otherwise you will bear the consequences. ”

"What do you mean, shopkeeper?"

Shi Xiaofei looked stunned.

"Ten taels of silver. ”

The woman said lightly.

"Huh?"

Shi Xiaofei said in a daze.

"Ten taels of silver for a question. ”

The woman unhurriedly tapped the pipe at the lower end of the pipe.

“...... Give!Ten taels! You can answer me now, right?"

Shi Xiaofei's eyelids jumped, forcibly suppressed the fire in his heart, and after calming his mind a little, he took out a piece of silver from his arms and threw it at the woman.

Literally. ”

The woman took the silver casually and smiled.

“......”

Shi Xiaofei really wanted to hit someone.

"Does the shopkeeper mean that something bad will happen at night?"

Lu Shaoyang kicked Shi Xiaofei under the table, and quietly threw a silver ingot to the woman.

"The money is not enough, and the second problem is a hundred taels. ”

The woman smiled after receiving the money.

"Then the third question is a thousand taels?"

Shi Xiaofei couldn't help but sneer.

"Hey, my little brother has finally become smarter. ”

The woman raised her eyebrows and said.

"Give. ”

Lu Shaoyang didn't say a word, took out a piece of gold again, and threw it at the woman.

"Yes. ”

This is the woman's answer when she receives the gold.

"The dish is coming. ”

It will.

A man with a bald head and a stout figure walked out of the inner hall, he walked directly to the table of Shi Xiaofei and others with a pot of steaming vegetables, and turned around to leave after putting the pot down.

There were six or seven baked cakes on the vegetable bowl, and the vegetables in the vegetable bowl were a messy stew, and the color was a little black, which was really unappetizing.

"Let's go back to our room and rest after eating. ”

The woman at the counter suddenly urged.

"Dumbo. ”

Lu Shaoyang glanced at Shi Xiaofeidao, who was about to move.

"I feel like I'm going to get poisoned if I eat this dish. ”

Shi Xiaofei looked at the dirty vegetable pot in front of him and said in disgust.

"It's not toxic. ”

Lu Shaoyang picked up the chopsticks, picked up the vegetables in the vegetable pot, and shook his head after taking a bite.

"Even though the food doesn't look good, it tastes pretty good. ”

"Really?"

Shi Xiaofei suspiciously picked up a piece of stewed meat from the vegetable bowl and put it into his mouth and chewed it.

"Hey, it's really delicious. ”

"The cake is not poisonous, so you can eat it with confidence. ”

Lu Shaoyang said after trying the baked cakes on the vegetable pot.

"Then you're welcome. ”

Soon.

Shi Xiaofei grabbed the cake with one hand and ate the vegetables with the other, and it didn't take long for most of the meals to let Shi Xiaofei eat it alone.

Only Duan Zongbi didn't move his chopsticks, but just said that he was not hungry.

After eating, the three of them went upstairs to their rooms, but neither of them could sleep peacefully.

About a time of time.

A figure quietly appeared in front of the long pole outside the inn.

The oil-paper lantern with orange lights was replaced by a cyan lantern.

In a daze.

Shi Xiaofei, who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, woke up suddenly.

Because he heard a slight movement coming from the lobby of the inn.

There is a case!

He immediately rolled over and got out of bed, touched the weapon he was carrying, and quietly came to the door.

"Are you all here?"

A hoarse voice rang out.

"It's all right. A woman yawned lazily. "If there's a fart, let it go!"

"......" pauses in a hoarse voice. "The order has come from above. ”

"Is it finally going to start?"

The woman was suspected of swallowing clouds and spitting fog.

"Yes, the time is set for the beginning of spring. ”

A hoarse voice said.

"Okay, the old lady knows, you can get out!"

The woman said impatiently.

“...... Sanniang, I want to know, who is in the upper room on my left?"

A hoarse voice said suddenly.

"The old lady's guest. The woman snorted coldly. "What?

"Sanniang, in the past, I could tolerate you taking in some passing merchants, but today I can't. ”

A hoarse voice said.

"Because they're all sober. ”

"It seems that you don't have enough medicine tonight, don't worry, the old lady will solve them then." ”

The woman said nonchalantly.

"I'll do it myself, just in case. ”

A hoarse voice said.

The voice fell.

Shi Xiaofei, who was leaning on the door and eavesdropping, instinctively sensed the danger, and subconsciously rolled open with a long knife in his hand, and the door in front of him was broken.

Before Shi Xiaofei could react next, he saw a black shadow pounce on him.

"Get out!"

A cold voice rang out.

The black shadow suddenly withdrew his hand and flew away, and the next moment, a figure instantly broke through the wall and appeared in front of Shi Xiaofei.

"Duan senior. ”

Shi Xiaofei quickly came back to his senses and immediately saw the figure standing in front of him.

He hurriedly got up and followed Duan Zongbi out of the room slowly.

And then—

Outside the door, they saw masked men with smiling faces standing below the lobby.

And the eyes on the smiling faces stared at the two of them in unison, which suddenly made people shudder.
