Xu Sishou, it's been a long time. ”

Suddenly, a voice sounded in the courtyard, and at the end of the long corridor lined with rockeries, a middle-aged man dressed in civilian clothes and looking a little arrogant came slowly.

"Qi Xiaoran. Xu Hexian looked at him indifferently and said, "It seems that in the past few days, you have recovered well." ”

Qi Xiaoran stood still in front of Xu Hexian, arched his hand slightly, and said, "Thanks to the head of Xu, everything is fine with me." ”

At that time, when Qi Xiaoran assisted His Royal Highness King Yu's rebellion and was exposed, it was Xu Hexian who led the Xuanzheng Division and a group of soldiers to raid Qi Xiaoran's home.

Seeing Xu Hexian again, Qi Xiaoran's mood was actually very complicated.

His sworn brother was beheaded by Xu Hexian's righteous son Jian Shuxuan, and his wife, children and some concubines were all assigned to the frontier by the Xuanzheng Division.

Even if the two of them are now in the same camp, the resentment in their hearts is difficult to easily eliminate.

Xu Hexian could naturally see something from Qi Xiaoran's eyes, but he didn't care, he just smiled slightly: "Brother Qi re-entered the WTO, and the first time he made a move, he killed Yue Shiting, which is a big move. ”

Qi Xiaoran said flatly: "It's just doing things for His Highness." ”

Xu Hexian said: "Although Brother Qi killed Yue Shiting, I think you still seem to have made some mistakes. ”

Qi Xiaoran was silent for a moment, and said: "At that time, two people wearing cat faces and rabbit face masks appeared, their cultivation is not weak, but it is easy for me to kill them, but unexpectedly, the Xiao girl from Beiyan Sword House also appeared in front of me, fortunately, she doesn't know my identity, I'm just curious, who are those two people wearing masks?"

Xu Hexian said: "I will secretly investigate this matter, and I will also solve Yue Shiting's matter, but when you take action in the future, you need to notify me, otherwise it will be difficult for me to do it." ”

Qi Xiaoran chuckled lightly and said, "Xu Si is the first high-ranking power, I believe that this mistake will not be difficult for you, and you will need to rely on Xu Si Shou more in the future." ”

Xu Hexian's face was slightly pale, he was actually very angry about the killing of Yue Shiting during the rebellion of the monks outside the mountain, but he didn't dare to complain about His Royal Highness King Lu, and in his heart, he should be the one with the highest voice in front of His Royal Highness King Lu.

Song Yidao, as a guest of King Lu's Mansion and equivalent to the personal guard of His Royal Highness King Lu, was a little cold towards him, so Xu Hexian endured it.

But Qi Xiaoran is just a defeated general under him, if he hadn't secretly brought Qi Xiaoran to His Royal Highness King Lu in a thought, how could Qi Xiaoran have the opportunity to stand here at this moment, his wife and children and those delicate concubines would have already gone to the Yellow Spring.

Qi Xiaoran's attitude towards him at this moment made Xu Hexian very dissatisfied.

At this moment, there was a crisp sound of footsteps at the other end of the corridor.

His Royal Highness Prince Lu, who was wearing a brocade robe, came to them with his hands on his back.

Song Yidao immediately bowed and saluted, and called lightly: "Your Highness." ”

Xu Hexian and Qi Xiaoran also bowed and waved their hands and said, "See Your Highness." ”

Qin Chengyi looked at the three of them and said with a smile: "As long as the result of that matter is not bad, there is no need to talk about it anymore." ”

Xu Hexian nodded.

Qi Xiaoran didn't speak.

Qin Chengyi's face was a little serious and said: "Yue Shiting has secretly investigated me, I don't know if he has found anything and how much he has mastered, although I have searched the entire Yue Mansion and found nothing strange, but I have reason to believe that Yue Shiting must have some information in his hands, and it is very likely that there will be a list of your names." ”

Of course, this does not include Qi Xiaoran.

But Xu Hexian's expression has changed a little, if Yue Shiting really grasps some lists, then it is indeed necessary to eradicate them as soon as possible to prevent future troubles.

Qin Chengyi looked at Xu Hexian, whose expression had changed, and said, "Now you should know why I did this, even if this matter may cause some trouble, but compared to the potentially bigger problem, it is now that the trouble is minimized." ”

When he was talking to Xu Hexian and others, he didn't call himself the king, which was also a sense of closeness to his subordinates, which could make his subordinates have a greater sense of belonging to him.

Their conversation is like small talk between friends.

Although this is just Qin Chengyi's idea, neither Xu Hexian nor Song Yidao can really be completely relaxed in front of Qin Chengyi and be informal, but in the face of the gentle His Royal Highness King Lu, they will indeed be relatively relaxed, and all they need to maintain is respect for His Royal Highness.

"Regarding the two mysterious people wearing masks that Qi Xiaoran met, he still needs to pay more attention, Qi Xiaoran will eventually stand in front of the world again, but with those two changes, Qi Xiaoran has been restricted, so this matter must be resolved as soon as possible. ”

Xu Hexian nodded and said, "I can't blatantly investigate such two people, but I may be able to arrest them by investigating Yue Shiting's case." ”

"As long as they don't leave the capital for thousands of miles, they will inevitably learn that they are wanted, then no matter what kind of actions they have, I will have a chance to catch them, the difficulty is that if they are calm and keep hiding, it will be difficult to find out their identities in a short time, and even arrest them. ”

Qin Chengyi said: "How to deal with it, Hexian will look at it himself." ”

He pondered for a moment and continued: "Maybe you should find an opportunity to contact that Xiao girl from the Beiyan Sword Lu, whether she appeared there due to an accident, or if she recognizes those two masked people, this is a good breakthrough." But when it is not necessary, don't offend Xiao Zhinan, her identity is very special after all, and she needs to be considered in the long run. ”

Xu Hexian waved his hand and said, "Then I'll leave first." ”

Qin Chengyi waved his hand slightly, and Xu Hexian turned to leave.

And Qi Xiaoran looked at Xu Hexian's back, was silent for a moment, knelt down on his knees, raised his hands above his head, and said to Qin Chengyi: "My subordinates are not careful, and I hope His Highness will forgive his sins." ”

Qin Chengyi's expression was flat, he didn't look at Qi Xiaoran, he walked away sideways, and the indifferent voice also came at the same time, "You just need to do your own thing, don't have any other ideas, you should know what the consequences are." ”

Qi Xiaoran maintained that movement, his head hung very low, and said in a loud voice: "Subordinates understand!"

......

After the carriage under the night rain left the Luwang Mansion, it had traveled many streets before finally getting on track, and when it was in an alley, the carriage suddenly stopped.

The curtain of the car was lifted, Xu Hexian's indifferent eyes scanned the alley, and said in a flat tone: "Mr. Xiao Li, if my expectations are right, you are waiting for me here." ”

Next to this alley is the gate of the Xuan Zheng Division.

In the dark alley, footsteps slowly sounded, and a black figure walked out.

He looked at Xu Hexian, who was sitting in the carriage, and said, "How can Director Xu think like this, although this is the Xuanzheng Division, I can't just pass by here." ”

Xu Hexian smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao Li should be a very simple person, why did he become like this?" I believe that there is no reason for you to pass by the Xuan Zheng Division, unless you want to do something. ”

The person standing at the mouth of the alley was Li Mengzhou.

With a light smile on his face, he said very sincerely: "At the beginning, I had some misunderstandings with Xu Sishou, but fortunately, the misunderstanding was finally solved, in fact, I admire Xu Sishou very much, he has a high-ranking identity in the court, and he is also recognized as the strongest under the Five Realms, and he is also a unique person in this world." ”

Xu Hexian was silent.

Of course, he knew very well that it was definitely not a misunderstanding, although the ultimate goal was to target Jiang Tingyu, but the arrest of Li Mengzhou was personally ordered by him.

He believed that it was impossible for Li Mengzhou not to know this.

He was very curious about what Li Mengzhou intended to appear here at this moment, and even had a close meaning between his words.

Li Mengzhou smiled but said nothing.

Xu Hexian frowned slightly, and said with a gentle smile: "I think maybe I should invite you to sit in the Xuanzheng Department and have a cup of tea, since there was a misunderstanding, I should apologize in person, I wonder if Mr. Xiao Li appreciates it?"

Li Mengzhou shook his head slightly, and said: "There is no need to drink tea in the Xuan Zheng Division, after all, it is not a good place after all, although I admire the head of the Xuan Zheng Division, but I don't want to be involved with the Xuan Zheng Division." I did come here this time because I had something to say to Mr. Xu. ”

Xu Hexian still had a smile on his face and said, "What does Mr. Xiao Li want to say?"

Li Mengzhou said calmly: "It's a coincidence, although there is rain tonight, thunder and lightning, but I am good at wine, when I was hungry for wine, even though the weather was very bad, I still decided to go out to buy wine, and on the way back, passing through the inner city Baihu Lane, I noticed the smell of blood, and witnessed a very bad thing." ”

......

......

Xu Hexian returned to the Xuanzheng Division in the carriage, he seriously thought about what Li Mengzhou had said outside the alley, and his brows tightened.

He knew very well who lived in Baihu Alley.

But he always felt that Li Mengzhou's purpose was not pure, especially on the premise of suspecting that Li Mengzhou was related to Fujidong.

But he only hesitated for a moment, and decided to go to Baihu Lane.

A group of soldiers from the Xuanzheng Division, with a neat array, followed Xu Hexian to brave the night rain and arrived at Baihu Lane.

Just standing outside the gate of the courtyard, they faintly smelled something unusual.

Although the smell in the air had become cloudy due to heavy rain, the familiar smell of blood could still be noticed.

Push open the courtyard door.

What appears in front of you are traces of battle.

and the 'two corpses' lying quietly under the rain curtain.

"It's Zhu Shilang......"

The faces of the soldiers of the Xuanzheng Division were all a little frightened.

Xu Hexian just looked at the corpse silently, not knowing what he was thinking.

......

A small courtyard somewhere in the East City Gate street.

Although Lu Changge is not a disciple of the Mountain Sect, he also has his own foothold in the capital, but ordinary people don't know it.

He sat in the house silently drinking tea, and did not light the candle, so the room was pitch black.

He was seriously thinking about how to kill Zhu Zaitian against Li Mengzhou.

Considering the Leaving Palace Sword Academy, he did not have absolute confidence to condemn Li Mengzhou to death purely because of Zhu Zaitian.

So Li Mengzhou needs to commit more crimes.

Smack.

There was a sudden movement outside the house, and it didn't look like the sound of raindrops crashing on doors and windows.

Lu Changge instantly raised his vigilance, subconsciously held the sword in his hand, paced behind the door, and listened carefully to the movement outside the house.

Under the fugue mind, the rain falling in the night sky seemed to be still, and the raindrops were suspended in mid-air, and as far as he could see, a rabbit's face suddenly appeared in the raindrops in mid-air.

To be exact, it was a rabbit face mask.

This is a very familiar face to Lu Changge.

His heart chuckled.

It was too late to think about how the other party found here, Lu Changge's first reaction was to escape.

Boom!

The door was kicked open.

Lu Changge, who was standing behind the door, screamed in pain, covered his head and retreated again and again.

Although he saw the rabbit-faced mask in his fugue mind, due to the momentary distraction and the extremely fast speed of the other party, he didn't have time to react at all, and was hit on the head by a kick on the wooden door.

Gu Shiyan, wearing a rabbit face mask, crossed the threshold and appeared in the dark room.

She held a long sword in her hand and a simple knife behind her back, and there was a hint of coldness in her eyes under the mask.

Lu Changge stood firmly, his palm moved away from his head, as a cultivator, he would not be knocked out of the big red envelope, but he was caught off guard, and it hurt a lot.

He looked at the person opposite, with a hint of annoyance in his tone, "Do you know this is trespassing!"

Gu Shiyan said calmly: "I'll break in, what can you do?"

The voice that came out from under the mask was a little muffled, but it made her tone heavier, with a sense of solemnity.

Lu Changge frowned, he clearly understood that the person wearing the rabbit face mask in front of him was the woman who lived in Chaosi Lane with Li Mengzhou, but if he pointed it out directly, it would be very disadvantageous, since he was deliberately wearing a mask, of course, he didn't want others to know her identity, he could only pretend not to know.

"Who are you, and what are you coming to me for?"

It's a disguise, but it's also Lu Changge who really wants to figure out why Gu Shiyan is here.

Although he was found by Gu Shiyan outside Baihu Alley, he reacted quickly and was not caught, and he was confident that the other party would not be able to recognize him, he really didn't understand, how did Gu Shiyan find here, does it also mean that Li Mengzhou is also nearby?

But Gu Shiyan obviously didn't mean to answer his words.

She held the long sword tightly in her hand, and wisps of light overflowed from her palm, covering the sword body, wisps of sword qi swirled, and the light became more and more intense.

A powerful aura belonging to the top grade of the Four Realms enveloped the entire small courtyard.

The high sense of oppression made Lu Changge's legs tremble, and his face turned pale in an instant.

He thought that when he secretly peeked at Chaosi Lane, he deeply sensed Gu Shiyan's powerful and restrained aura, and when he really came into contact with it at this moment, he felt that he still underestimated the other party.

It is a strong man who cannot be defeated.

......

The streets of the capital under the night rain are lined with countless armor soldiers.

In the dark, a pair of eyes are watching.

The goal of those armor soldiers was clear.

It's the street at the East Gate.

After the armor soldiers quickly disappeared from view, the person who was observing from the dark appeared on the street.

He was dressed in black, holding a black oil-paper umbrella in his left hand and a jet-blue sword in his right hand.

There was the sound of footsteps.

The man in Tsing Yi stood next to him, staring at the armor soldiers who disappeared at the end, and said softly, "What are you doing again?"

The night rain slapped the black oil-paper umbrella, and the waterline slipped down the edge, showing the indifferent face under the umbrella, he looked sideways at the man in Tsing Yi who was also holding an umbrella next to him, and said calmly: "I killed the squire of Xuanzheng Division, Zhu Zaitian." ”

The man in Tsing Yi kept his expression unchanged and said: "Then Xuanzheng Si should be arresting you, why are you heading towards the East City Gate, Chaosi Lane is not there." ”

The black-clothed young man smiled slightly: "Recently, someone has been secretly peeping at Chaosi Lane, his target is obviously me, and he witnessed the scene where I killed Zhu Zaitian. ”

The man in Tsing Yi's expression finally changed a little, his brows furrowed tightly, and he said, "It seems that I once warned you not to cause any trouble to the Heavenly Council, but you have been causing trouble. ”

The young man in black is Li Mengzhou.

Of course, the man in Tsing Yi is the chief spy of the Heavenly Cardinal, Qingyi.

Li Mengzhou said a little innocently: "I didn't make trouble, it's just that trouble came to the door, I always have to do something, whether I die or the other party dies, this seems to be an easy answer." ”

He turned sideways, looked at Qingyi, and said: "The Heavenly Council and the Xuanzheng Division are not in harmony, and no matter what the head of the court thinks, Xu Hexian has always been targeting him, and it is not a bad thing for the head of the court that I killed Zhu Zaitian, after all, Zhu Zaitian is the right-hand man next to Xu Hexian, and I just misunderstood Zhu Zaitian as the person who peeked secretly in Chaosi Lane, I can only say that he is more unlucky." ”

Qing Yi said coldly: "So you plan to blame Zhu Zaitian's death on the person who is peeping in the dark, and even solve it with the help of Xuan Zhengsi's knife." ”

Li Mengzhou nodded and said: "But this is not enough, after all, it is the Five Realms Sect without falling from the mountain, Lu Changge, as a true disciple of the True Inheritance who does not fall from the mountain, his life is much more noble than that of a mere squire in the Xuanzheng Division, and he should have more guilt, so serious that even if the Sect Master of the Road who does not fall from the mountain shows up in person, he can't keep him." ”

In this regard, Li Mengzhou and Lu Changge's ideas coincide.

It's just that Li Mengzhou's movements are faster.

Qing Yi said with some surprise: "The person who peeped at you outside Chaosi Lane was Lu Changge?"

Li Mengzhou said: "Probably, I only noticed his back, but it is indeed very similar." ”

Qingyi frowned and said, "In other words, you can't be sure at all, don't you think it's a bit reckless to do this?"
