Late at night, in the room of the inn, a tall figure stood in front of the window.

Outside the window is the brightly lit capital of the Sword Domain, a bustling metropolis that is bustling with people even at night.

"You should be familiar with everything here. ”

The hoarse voice smiled and looked back at Zhu Ze.

Zhu Ze looked embarrassed, covered with scars, gritting his teeth and enduring the pain, bandaging his wounds.

Hearing this, he raised his head and looked at the bald man in coarse cloth clothes, with only fear in his eyes.

The bald man only had banter in his eyes, and said softly: "Are you sure you don't answer my words?"

Zhu Ze gasped and said, "Of course I am familiar, I grew up in Sword City and also served here, and I have been living here for more than twenty years. ”

The bald man said, "Your parents and your family are also here." ”

His gaze gradually froze, and he continued: "And you are a wanted criminal, if I hadn't saved you, you wouldn't have even died." ”

Zhu Ze said: "I'd rather die at the hands of those bandits." ”

The bald man said: "Don't be hard-mouthed, if you have the courage to die, how can you become a wanted criminal?"

Zhu Ze opened his mouth, but he had nothing to say.

The bald man smiled and said, "In your twenties, the sword-bearer of the Divine Gate, breaking the second heaven, such a beautiful scenery, so young and promising, are you willing to give up all this?"

"You could have found a young and beautiful wife, or even several wives, and lived a life that ordinary people couldn't reach, enjoying the luxury of the gods. ”

"But now you are living in secret, wandering everywhere, always in danger of dying, and at the same time your family is controlled by the gods. ”

"Dare you say that you don't want to salvage it all?"

Hearing these words, Zhu Ze's face had changed.

He stood up and asked tentatively, "Listen to you, can you help me?"

The bald man said: "Your sin is an escape, if you have made great contributions, can you offset the merits?"

Zhu Ze said: "Unless the credit is particularly large, it is difficult." ”

The bald man smiled and said, "It's big, big enough to save the city." ”

"What!"

Zhu Ze couldn't help but exclaim: "What the hell are you going to do! Who are you!"

"Don't worry about that. ”

The bald man smiled: "Does it matter to you who I am? besides, knowing my identity is not good for you." ”

"From now on, if you do what I say, you will be able to offset your merits and demerits during the Sword Domain Martial Arts Competition, re-enter the Divine Gate, and restore all the previous scenery and dignity. ”

Zhu Ze said: "What if I don't agree?"

The bald man shook his head and said, "You will agree, how do you want to live in this world? Is it decent, or is it like a dog being chased and killed everywhere, and you can't even keep your relatives?"

"I'm sure you're a smart guy and you know what to choose. ”

Zhu Ze closed his eyes and was silent for a long time before gritting his teeth and saying, "As long as you can help me atone for my sins, you can do whatever you want me to do." ”

The bald man said, "That's right." ”

He turned his head, looked out the window, and muttered, "The prosperous Sword City is about to suffer another catastrophe." ”

......

The day finally dawned, Zhou Yan took a deep breath, and ended the night's meditation.

After cleaning up, he continued to follow Su Hongxue and Shangguan Zheng to patrol the Taixue Palace area.

Yesterday's changes are not big, but they are not small, and Taixue Palace is not afraid of things, so it is still teaching public classes on this street, hoping to attract talents from all over the world.

When Zhou Yan came here, he really saw Guo Ningshuang who was standing on the side and looking forward to it.

"You guys get busy first, I'll go desertion. ”

Zhou Yan said a word, and walked straight forward.

"Don't!"

Su Hongxue shouted a few times, but failed to stop it, and stomped her feet heavily in anger.

Shangguan Zheng couldn't help but whisper: "Feixue, you won't really like him, will you?"

"Nonsense!"

Su Hongxue blushed and said loudly: "Boss, don't join in the fun, I'm annoyed." ”

Shangguan Zhengdao: "What's wrong?"

Su Hongxue sighed and said, "As for Fu Hongxue, who relies on some cultivation, always does some daring things, and now he dares to derelict his duties at such a critical juncture, and he is inevitably scolded when he is discovered." ”

Shangguan Zheng said with a smile: "Young people, it's normal to be high-spirited and have a woman you like, let alone a beautiful, generous and talented girl like Teacher Guo." ”

Su Hongxue's face darkened: "Boss, you mean I'm not beautiful?"

Shangguan Zheng waved his hand and said, "You, beautiful is beautiful, but you have a bad temper and a short temper, and there are not many men who can stand you." ”

Su Hongxue tilted her neck and said, "If you can't stand it, you have to bear it, anyway, the old lady can't change it." ”

When she had finished speaking, she stepped forward with her knife in hand.

Shangguan Zheng hurriedly grabbed her and said hurriedly: "Don't, let the family talk for a while, you, you, it's not the same way to pursue a man." ”

"Where is the pursuit of men!"

Su Hongxue said: "I obviously found out that he was derelict in his duties and wanted to stop him." ”

Shangguan Zheng smiled bitterly: "Feixue, how many years have we known each other?"

Su Hongxue's face was a little strange, and she frowned: "It's been four years, what's wrong?"

Shangguan Zhengdao: "Listen to my advice, if you don't like it, let it go as soon as possible, if you like it, think about how to take him down, instead of following your temperament." ”

Su Hongxue rolled her eyes and said, "You still need to teach? You have been chasing Miss Diexiang for eight years, have you won it? The stinky old man in his thirties has not yet started a family, is it a shame?"

Shangguan Zheng's face suddenly turned red, and he hurriedly said, "Don't, don't say it, you didn't persuade you to me." ”

Su Hongxue thought for a while and said, "Anyway, I don't like Fu Hongxue very much, but I hate him for being nonsense." ”

On the other side, Zhou Yan had already taken Guo Ningshuang's hand, and when she reached the corner of the street, a wall knock pressed her against the wall.

Guo Ningshuang's chest continued to rise and fall, her face turned red, and she said in a low voice: "Brother Zhou, don't make it bad, there are many people here." ”

Zhou Yan smiled: "Who said that it was going to be broken? I just think it's quiet here, and it's convenient for us to talk." ”

"Hmm..."

Guo Ningshuang still leaned gently into his arms, her face was hot, but the smile on the corner of her mouth still couldn't be stopped.

She said softly: "Brother Zhou, when did you get out of the customs, why did you come to Sword City too?" I was so worried when I left, I was afraid that you would not find me when you left the customs, and I went to the Zhou Mansion to say something. ”

Zhou Yan said: "I know that when I left the customs, Uncle Kang had already left with you. ”

"As for coming to Sword City, naturally I came to see you because I missed you. ”

Guo Ningshuang sneered: "Lie, you obviously entered the Divine Gate of Sword City, and you still want to deceive me." ”

"I know that Frost is smart. ”

Zhou Yan touched her head, and suddenly wondered: "Hey, Uncle Kang came with you, what about others?"

Guo Ningshuang said helplessly: "I don't know, after arriving in Sword City, he said that he went to see the old man, it's been a few days, and he hasn't seen anyone yet." ”

"The deceased?"

Zhou Yan thought about it, Uncle Kang has a fart old man in Sword City, he has been in the Zhou Mansion for decades, and he doesn't know if the old man is dead or not.

But he's not very worried, this old thing, with a bad stomach, won't suffer anywhere.

I just hope that this old Wang Ba won't cause any trouble for Lao Tzu here.
